5.3 If the Board of the Company resolves that the Parties should provide additional funds to a Group Company, each Party shall pay with the same value date to that Group Company fifty per cent. (50%) of the agreed additional funding requirement (an Additional Funding Contribution).

5.4 lf, for any reason, Approved Finance is not available for drawdown at the time any Owner is required to pay a Contract Instalment falling due after Completion, and, in any event in respect of the equity portion required to be contributed by the Parties for any Contract Instalment, the Parties shall, at least one (1) Business Day before such amount or amounts falls due for payment, each contribute (by way of shareholder’s loan complying with the requirements of Clause 5.5) to the Company or the relevant Owner fifty per cent. (50%) of that amount and shall procure that the Company or Owner applies the aggregate amount of such contributions in payment of that Contract Instalment. Such contributions shall constitute Pre-Delivery Contributions for the purposes of this Agreement and shall not be treated as a Reserved Matter.

5.5 Each Shareholder Contribution will be treated as a subordinated shareholder loan and shall be on such terms (including, without limitation, as to interest and repayment) as the Parties may agree in writing and not as subscription monies for further Shares. Any Shareholder Contribution shall be subordinated to any Approved Finance obtained by or on behalf of the relevant Group Company. The decision to make a Shareholder Contribution, its terms and any amendment of those terms shall constitute a Reserved Matter.

5.6 Any Shareholder Contribution made by a Party to a Group Company shall be evidenced in writing in a Shareholder Loan that shall be executed by the Party making the Shareholder Contribution and the relevant Group Company in substantially the form attached to this Agreement at Schedule 3.

5.7 The Parties will procure that upon receipt of a Shareholder Contribution the relevant Group Company will credit its shareholders’ loan account with an amount equal to the amount of such Shareholder Contribution so paid.

5.8 The provisions of Clause 5.11 shall apply (mutatis mutandis) to any Shareholder Contribution which is not provided in a timely manner or within ten (10) days after a resolution has been passed by the Board of the relevant Group Company setting out the requirement for an Additional Funding Contribution.

5.9 Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Parties agree that the general financing requirements of the Group Companies shall be provided, so far as it is practicable, from the following (and in the following order of preference):

5.9.1 FIRSTLY from revenue derived from the operation of the Vessels;

5.9.2 SECONDLY borrowings from banks and financial institutions having due regard for the provisions set out in Clause 4.1;

5.9.3 THIRDLY, shareholder loans from the Parties on a 50:50 basis in such amounts and upon such terms (including but not limited to the rate of interest and the period of repayment) as the Parties shall agree.

5.10 However, for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties hereby agree and undertake to procure and ensure that each Group Company is adequately funded at all times so as to meet its obligations as they fall due, subject to the Parties agreeing on conditions for such funding including, but not limited to, interest rate and maturity date.

5.11 Subject to the rights of a non-defaulting Party under Clause 11.2, if a Party fails to make any Shareholder Contribution due by it in a timely manner (for the purposes of this Clause 5.11, the non-paying Party), the other Party (for the purposes of this Clause 5.11, the paying Party) may, in its sole discretion and without limitation to its other rights, increase its corresponding Shareholder Contribution by a commensurate amount (the Shareholder Contribution Increase) with interest being payable by the non-paying Party to the paying Party on the increased amount of the paying Party’s Shareholder Contribution. Such interest shall accrue from the date on which the paying Party makes the increased Shareholder Contribution and shall be calculated at a rate of twelve per cent (12%) per annum. Interest shall continue to accrue until the non-paying Party reimburses the paying Party an amount equal to the Shareholder Contribution Increase and upon such payment the non-paying Party shall be deemed, as from that date, to have made the Shareholder Contribution (equal to the amount of the Shareholder Contribution Increase so repaid by the paying Party) and the Parties shall procure that the relevant books are amended to reflect this.

6 Vessel Arrangements

6.1 The Parties agree that the colour scheme for the Vessels shall be black hull, red decks, white house, white bulk heads (engine room) and grey engine room plates. The name, the marking of the funnel, cranes, superstructure and hull markings of the Vessels shall be agreed by the Parties in advance of each Delivery.

6.2 The Parties agree and acknowledge that, as at the date of Completion, it is their intention that the Intended Technical Manager shall be appointed by each Owner as the technical manager of each Vessel within three (3) months prior to the anticipated Delivery Date of each Vessel. The final decision on the appointment of the Intended Technical Manager shall be subject to the satisfaction of both Parties (acting reasonably) with an audit of the Intended Technical Manager’s capability (including, without limitation, its compliance with oil majors’ requirements and its ability to continue to comply with such requirements), budget and operational costings to be carried out in advance of the Delivery Date of the first Vessel to be delivered under the Shipbuilding Contracts and comparison with other third party managers, provided that where there is disagreement between the Parties as to the appointment of the Intended Technical Manager and one of the candidates is Grindrod Shipping (South Africa) Pty Limited (or any other member of the Grindrod Group), then the final decision on appointment (otherwise based upon the above) shall be made by Vitol in its sole discretion. The Parties agree that the appointment of the Intended Technical Manager for all delivered Vessels shall be reviewed by the Parties on an annual basis thereafter and any change to such appointment shall be agreed by the Parties thereafter (acting reasonably) (or in Vitol’s sole discretion if the manager’s appointment under review is a member of

the Grindrod Group) having regard to the performance of the Intended Technical Manager in respect of the key performance indicators set out in each technical shipmanagement agreement.

6.3 If either:

6.3.1 the appointment of the Intended Technical Manager in respect of any Vessel is not approved by the Parties (or Vitol in the case of the appointment of a member of the Grindrod Group as the manager) following the audit of its capability carried out in accordance with Clause 6.2 above and the Intended Technical Manager does not remedy the issues raised by the Parties arising from the audit to the Parties’ satisfaction (in each case acting reasonably) prior to Delivery of the relevant Vessel; or

6.3.2 the Intended Technical Manager fails to fulfil its obligations under any technical management agreement and the Parties (acting reasonably) (or Vitol (in its sole discretion) if the manager is a member of the Grindrod Group) decide to terminate the appointment of the Intended Technical Manager in respect of any Vessel or all of them,

then the Parties agree that they shall invite tenders for the technical management of the relevant Vessel or Vessels from the Approved Alternative Technical Managers.

11.2 If a Party (the defaulting Party) is in breach of any of its payment obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, a failure to make a Shareholder Contribution in a timely manner or at all) and fails to remedy such breach within fifteen (15) days of receipt of a written request from the other Party (the non-defaulting Party) to do so stating the nature of the breach and that the defaulting Party is in default under this Agreement (a Default Notice), the non-defaulting Party shall have the option:

(b) to purchase the Shares of the defaulting Party on the terms and in accordance with the provisions of Clause 11.3, exercisable by notice in writing within a further period of thirty (30) days after the date of the Default Notice.

(a) the transfer of Shares to the other Party (in the case of Clause 11.1) or non-defaulting Party (in the case of Clause 11.2) shall be effected in accordance with the provisions of Clause 16;

(b) simultaneously with completion of the transfer of the Shares in accordance with Clause 11.3(a), the transferor of the Shares shall be entitled to receive an amount (paid in accordance with this clause) calculated in accordance with the following formula (the Exit Amount):

([W less X less Y less Z] x Share proportion x 0.8) less C

For the purposes of the above formula:

Share proportion means the percentage of total issued Shares held by the transferor

W means an amount equal to the aggregate Minimum Market Value of the Vessels, positive cash on the Group’s accounts and the book value of any other assets of the Group.

X means an amount equal to the Group’s liabilities including, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount that is outstanding in respect of the Approved Finance which is attributable to or assigned to the Group and xxxx-to-market adjustments related to financial instruments associated with the Approved Finance but excluding aggregate amounts outstanding to the Parties by a Group Company under Shareholder Loans.

Y means amounts which the transferee has advanced by way of Shareholder Loan on its own behalf in circumstances where the transferor has not advanced amounts under the Shareholder Loan to a Group Company.

Z means the amount paid by the transferee on behalf of the transferor pursuant to Clauses 5.8, 5.11 and/or 11.2 and including all interest accrued up to the date thereof.

C means the aggregate of all fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Party which is the transferee of the Shares following a default event as described in Clauses 11.1 and 11.2, including, without limitation, in connection with the restructuring of the Approved Finance and any legal fees reasonably incurred by or imposed on such party in connection therewith.

The transferee will pay the Exit Amount (being a positive amount calculated in accordance with the formula or US$1) to the transferor within five (5) Business Days of the completion of the actions set out in (i) and (ii) below of this paragraph. Prior to payment of the Exit Amount, the transferor shall be obliged to (i) transfer its Shares to the transferee, and (ii) assign its rights under the Shareholder Loans made by the transferor to the transferee in a form reasonably required by the transferee, following which all debt (whether in form of cash or loan) of any Group Company to the transferor shall be immediately extinguished and each Group Company shall thereafter owe 100% of such debt to the transferee. The transferee shall procure that this is properly recorded in each Group Company’s books and accounts.

Any dividends that have declared but have not been paid to the transferor will be deemed to be paid to the transferor as part of the Exit Amount at the time of the above transfer of Shares and the transferor shall have no further rights against any Group Company in respect of such dividends. Upon completion of the process the transferor will lose the right to any future dividends that have not been declared.

Upon completion of the transfer of Shares, the transferor shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived all claims against the Company.

(c) Notwithstanding the aforementioned provisions of this Clause 11.3, the Parties agree to act in good faith and in a timely manner to ensure that all necessary steps are taken and consents obtained with regard to arrangements in place in respect of the Approved Finance and any Shareholder Contributions (in the form of Shareholder Loans) to be

restructured or refinanced (as appropriate) such that the Party holding all the Shares in the Company (as a result of the circumstances set out in this Clause 11.3) becomes solely responsible for the Approved Finance and/or the Shareholder Contributions with effect from the date when the transfer of the totality of the Shares in the Company to that other or non-defaulting Party is completed. The non-defaulting Party agrees to indemnify the defaulting Party against any proven loss or damage suffered or incurred by the defaulting Party and arising from events or circumstances following the payment of the Exit Amount and the transfer of the defaulting Party’s Shares in accordance with Clause 11.2 in relation to the operation of the Group and/or in connection with the Approved Finance during the period from the transfer of the defaulting Party’s Shares until the defaulting Party is released from its obligations under the Approved Finance.

11.4 None of the foregoing provisions of this Clause 11 shall be construed, or operate as a waiver of the rights of a Party to claim compensation for any loss suffered or incurred by that Party as a consequence of a breach of this Agreement by the other Party and whether that loss is suffered or incurred before or after such a termination.

11.5 Without prejudice to the rights and obligations expressed in this Clause 11 (which shall survive termination), this Agreement shall be terminated immediately upon the occurrence of (i) the circumstances set out in Clauses 11.1(a), (b) and (c) and/or (ii) the payment of the Exit Amount and the transfer of the defaulting Party’s Shares in accordance with Clause 11.2 following the exercise by the non-defaulting Party of the option in accordance with Clause 11.2(b).

(d) subject to Vitol’s rights under Clause 15.2(a) in respect of a Vessel which is subject to a Xxxxxx Time Charter as at the date of the Termination Notice, if both Parties wish to purchase the Vessel at the Minimum Market Value (and both have notified the other accordingly within the timeframe set out in Clause 15.2(a) above), then the Parties agree that they shall negotiate in good faith for a period of ten (10) days making offers and counter-offers on an open basis for a price higher than the Minimum Market Value. In the event that no agreement can be reached at the end of the ten (10) day negotiation period, then the Parties shall procure that the Vessel is offered for sale by the Owner, through one of the Approved Brokers, to bona fide third parties.

(i) first, in settlement of any outstanding third party liabilities of the Company or of any Owner in circumstances where the net proceeds of sale of the relevant Vessel were insufficient to meet the outstanding third party liabilities. Both Parties agree and undertake to make further Shareholder Contributions on a 50:50 basis to meet any shortfall arising as part of this settlement process;

(ii) second, as dividends to the Parties up to the amount that ensures any Excess Contribution amounts owed to a Party are settled (to the extent not already settled as at that date) in accordance with Clause 13.1(c) following the application of Clause 15.3 and other Party shall pay to Party A on demand the amount of any Excess Contribution in the event of any shortfall in the Group’s funds arising as part of this settlement process;

(iii) thirdly, in repayment of the Shareholder Contributions in proportion to the amounts contributed by each of the Parties; and

(iv) fourthly, any remaining amount to be divided between the Parties on a 50:50 basis.

(c) following the distribution of all remaining funds in accordance with Clause 15.6(b) or the settlement of all outstanding liabilities of a Group Company in circumstances where no excess funds are available for distribution in accordance with Clause 15.6(b), the Parties shall wind up each Group Company.

The Managers shall following any deductions from the Net Pool Earnings as set out above pay into a designated bank account of each of the Owners of the Vessels, on a quarterly basis in arrears within twenty-one (21) days of the last day of the respective quarter in respect of each Vessel, such Owners’ Vessel Earning Share.

7.1.2 The Manager’s Profit Share to take into account the annual reconciliation of the financial results of the commercial operations of the Vessels being the Vessels on-hire days during the relevant financial year.

7.3 For the purpose of the annual accounting and reconciling in accordance with Clause 7.1 and Clause 7.2 above the Managers shall only take account of voyages completed during the financial year. The calculation of the per day Vessel Earning Share excludes any off-hire days which may have occurred during such annual period in respect of each Vessel.

7.4 Any surplus resulting from the reconciliation in accordance with Clause 7.1 and Clause 7.2 above shall be paid out to the respective Owners within 30 days of the financial year end.

7.5 Any deficit resulting from the reconciliation in accordance with Clause 7.1 and Clause 7.2 above shall reduce the next quarterly advance payment payable in accordance with Clause 6.1 above.

7.5.1 The Managers may, in their sole discretion (reasonably exercised) decide to increase of decrease the quantum of the Working Capital Float as may be required to enable the Managers to perform the Management Services; but

7.5.2 In no event shall the quantum of the Working Capital Float exceed US$500,000 per each Vessel, unless agreed otherwise in writing by the relevant Owner.

8 Other Income or Expense

9 Accounting and Reporting

9.1 The Managers shall keep such records and accounts as shall be necessary for the proper commercial operation of the Vessels, including such accounts as shall be necessary for the calculation of quarterly distributions in accordance with Clause 6.1 and Clause 7.1 and Clause 7.2 above.

9.2 The Managers shall maintain systems of internal financial controls to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are properly executed in accordance with responsible financial management, and sufficient to meet the requirements of an independent audit performed in accordance with International Auditing Standards.
