(c)	If within 90 days after the date on which the sale of the relevant Ship is completed or 180 days after the Total Loss Date (as the case may be) the Borrower (or a nominee of the Borrower) desires to purchase a vessel (a "Replacement Ship") that either:

(i)

meets the requirements stated in the definition of Additional Ship; or

(ii)

in the reasonable discretion of the Majority Lenders, is of substantially similar type, age, quality, condition and value as the Ship that was lost or sold,

then provided no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Borrower executes and/or delivers (or causes the execution and/or delivery of) the documents required by Part D of Schedule 4, then the Agent, upon the written request of the Borrower, shall release such sale proceeds or insurance proceeds (as the case may be) from the Retention Account to the Borrower or as the Borrower may direct in connection with the acquisition of the Replacement Ship and no mandatory prepayment of the Loan shall be required under Clause 8.8(a).

(B)

in the reasonable discretion of the Majority Lenders, a vessel that is of substantially similar type, age, quality, condition and value as the Ship that is to be released,

is provided as substitute Collateral (a "Substitute Collateral Ship") for the Ship that is to be released and the Borrower executes and/or delivers (or causes the execution and/or delivery of) the documents required by Part E of Schedule 4.

8.10

Amounts payable on prepayment. A prepayment shall be made together with accrued interest (and any other amount payable under Clause 22 or otherwise) in respect of the amount prepaid and, if the prepayment is not made on the last day of an Interest Period together with any sums payable under Clause 22.1(b), but without premium or penalty.

(iii)

none of the circumstances contemplated by Clause 5.7 has occurred and is continuing, unless the Agent is satisfied that an alternative rate of interest can be set pursuant to Clause 5.12;

(a)

except with respect to the circumstances described in Clause 9.2(b), if the Agent, with the consent of the Majority Lenders, permits the Advance to be borrowed before certain of the conditions referred to in Clause 9.1 are satisfied, the Borrower shall ensure that such conditions are satisfied within ten (10) Business Days after such Drawdown Date (or such longer period as the Agent may specify); and

(b)	only if required under the terms of MOA or another contract for the acquisition of an Additional Ship, an Advance may be borrowed before the applicable conditions set forth in Clause 9.1 are satisfied and:

(i)

each Lender agrees to fund its Contribution on a day not more than five (5) Business Days prior to the date of the scheduled acquisition and delivery of such Ship (such date, the "Delivery Date"); and

(ii)

the Agent shall on the date on which such Advance is funded (or as soon thereafter as practicable) (A) preposition an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Advance at a bank or other financial institution (the "Seller's Bank") satisfactory to the Agent, which funds shall be held at the Seller's Bank in the name and under the sole control of the Agent or one of its Affiliates and (B) issue a SWIFT MT 199 or other similar communication (each such communication, a "Disbursement Authorization") authorizing the release of such funds by the Seller's Bank on the relevant Delivery Date upon receipt of a Protocol of Delivery and Acceptance in respect of such Ship duly executed by the Seller and Borrower and countersigned by a representative of the Agent;

provided that if delivery of such Ship does not occur within five (5) Business Days after the scheduled Delivery Date, the funds held at the Seller's Bank shall be returned to the Agent for further distribution to the Lenders.

the date on which the Lenders fund the Advance constitutes the Drawdown Date in respect of such Advance and all interest and fees thereon shall accrue from such date;

(2)

the Agent and the Lenders suspend fulfillment of the conditions precedent set forth in Schedule 4, Part C, Paragraphs 1, 10, 11 and 13 solely for the time period on and between such Drawdown Date and the relevant Delivery Date, and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that fulfillment of such conditions precedent to the satisfaction of the Agent shall be required as a condition precedent to the countersignature by a representative of the Agent of the Protocol of Delivery and Acceptance referred to in Clause 9.2(b)(ii);

(3)

from the date the proceeds of the Advance are deposited at the Seller's Bank to the Delivery Date (or, if delivery of such Ship does not occur within the time prescribed in the Disbursement Authorization, the date on which the funds are returned to the Agent for further distribution to the Lenders), the Borrower shall be entitled to interest on the Advance at the applicable rate, if any, paid by the Seller's Bank for such deposited funds;

(4)

if such Ship is not delivered within the time prescribed in the Disbursement Authorization and the proceeds of the Advance are returned to the Agent and distributed to the Lenders, (i) the Borrower shall pay all accrued interest and fees in respect of such returned proceeds on the date such proceeds are returned to the Agent and (ii) the relevant available Commitment will be increased by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Loan proceeds so returned; and

(5)

A notice which is signed by an officer 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.

22	INDEMNITIES

22.1

Indemnities regarding borrowing and repayment of Loan. The Borrower shall fully indemnify the Agent and each Lender on the Agent's demand and the Security Trustee on its demand in respect of all claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which are made or brought against or incurred by that Creditor Party, or which that Creditor Party reasonably and with due diligence estimates that it will incur, as a result of or in connection with:

(a)	an Advance not being borrowed on the date specified in the Drawdown Notice for any reason other than a default by the Lender claiming the indemnity;

(b)	the receipt or recovery of all or any part of the Loan or an overdue sum otherwise than on the last day of an Interest Period or other relevant period;

(c)	any failure (for whatever reason) by a Security Party to make payment of any amount due under a Finance Document on the due date or, if so payable, on demand (after giving credit for any default interest paid on the amount concerned under Clause 7);

(d)	the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default and/or the acceleration of repayment of the Loan under Clause 20; or

(e)	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.

22.2	Breakage costs. Without limiting its generality, Clause 22.1 covers any claim, expense, liability or loss, including a loss of a prospective profit, incurred by a Lender:

(a)	in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired or arranged to fund 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); and

(b)

in terminating, or otherwise in connection with, any interest and/or currency swap or any other transaction entered into (whether with another legal entity or with another office or department of the Lender concerned) to hedge any exposure arising under this Agreement or that part which the Lender concerned determines is fairly attributable to this Agreement of the amount of the liabilities, expenses or losses (including losses of prospective profits) incurred by it in terminating, or otherwise in connection with, a number of transactions of which this Agreement is one.

22.3

Miscellaneous indemnities. The Borrower shall fully indemnify each Creditor Party severally on their respective demands in respect of all claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which may be made or brought against 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 Agent, the Security Trustee or any other Creditor Party or by any receiver appointed under a Finance Document; or

(b)	any other Pertinent Matter, other than claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which are shown to have been caused by the dishonesty or willful misconduct of the officers or employees of the Creditor Party concerned.

Without prejudice to its generality, this Clause 22.3 covers 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.

22.4

Currency indemnity. If any sum due from the Borrower or any other Security Party to a Creditor Party under a Finance Document or under any order or judgment relating to a Finance Document 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 or lodging any claim or proof against the Borrower or any other Security Party, whether in its liquidation, any arrangement involving it or otherwise; or

(b)	obtaining an order or judgment from any court or other tribunal; or

(c)	enforcing any such order or judgment, the Borrower shall indemnify the Creditor Party concerned against the loss arising when the amount of the payment actually received by that Creditor Party is converted at the available rate of exchange into the Contractual Currency.

In this Clause 22.4, 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 concerned to purchase the Contractual Currency with the Payment Currency.

This Clause 22.4 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.

22.5

Application to Master Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, Clause 22.4 does not apply in respect of sums due from the Borrower to a Swap Counterparty under or in connection with a Master Agreement as to which sums the provisions of section 8 (Contractual Currency) of that Master Agreement shall apply.

22.6

Certification of amounts. A notice which is signed by an officer of a Creditor Party, which states that a specified amount, or aggregate amount, is due to that Creditor Party under this Clause 22 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.

22.7	Sums deemed due to a Lender. For the purposes of this Clause 22, a sum payable by the Borrower to the Agent or the Security Trustee for distribution to a Lender shall be treated as a sum due to that Lender.

23	NO SET-OFF OR TAX DEDUCTION

23.1	No deductions. All amounts due from a Security Party under a Finance Document shall be paid:

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

(b)	free and clear of any tax deduction except a tax deduction which such Security Party is required by law to make.

23.2	Grossing-up for taxes. If a Security Party is required by law to make a tax deduction from any payment:

(a)	such Security Party shall notify the Agent as soon as it becomes aware of the requirement;

(b)	such Security Party shall pay the tax deducted to the appropriate taxation authority promptly, and in any event before any fine or penalty arises; and

(c)

the amount due in respect of the payment shall be increased by the amount necessary to ensure that 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 otherwise have received.

23.3	Evidence of payment of taxes. Within one (1) month after making any tax deduction, the relevant Security Party shall deliver to the Agent documentary evidence satisfactory to the Agent that the tax had been paid to the appropriate taxation authority.

23.4	Exclusion of tax on overall net income. In this Clause 23 "tax deduction" means any deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax except tax on a Creditor Party's overall net income.

23.5

Indemnity for taxes. The Borrower hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold each Creditor Party harmless from and against all taxes and other taxes (including, without limitation, taxes and other taxes imposed on any amounts payable under this Clause 23.5) paid or payable by such person, whether or not such taxes or other taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Such indemnification shall be paid within 10 days from the date on which such Creditor Party makes written demand therefore specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such taxes or other taxes.

23.6	Exclusion from indemnity and gross-up for taxes. The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Creditor Party pursuant to Clause 23.5, or pay any additional amounts to any Creditor Party pursuant to Clause 23.2, to the extent that:

(a)

the obligation to withhold amounts for taxes existed on the date such Lender (other than an original Lender) became a party to this Agreement or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan; provided that this clause (a) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any transferee, or Lender (or transferee) through a New Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (a)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the person making the transfer, or Lender (or transferee) making the designation of such New Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such transfer or designation; or

(b)	the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender to comply with Clause 23.7 below.

23.7	Delivery of tax forms.

(a)

Each Lender or transferee that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (a "Non-U.S. Lender") shall deliver to the Agent and the Borrower two properly completed and duly executed copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form ▇-▇▇▇▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇ or W-8IMY or, upon request of the Borrower or the Agent, any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, in each case claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax with respect to payments of interest hereunder.

(b)

In addition, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, such Non-U.S. Lender shall provide to the Agent and the Borrower a properly completed form W-8BEN and certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code), and such Non-U.S. Lender agrees that it shall promptly notify the Agent in the event any representation in such certificate is no longer accurate.

(c)

Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a "New Lending Office"). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms within 20 days after receipt of a written request therefor from the Agent or Borrower.

(d)	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Clause 23.7, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Clause 23.7 that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

23.8

Application to Master Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, Clause 23 does not apply in respect of sums due from the Borrower to a Swap Counterparty under or in connection with a Master Agreement as to which sums the provisions of section 2(d) (Deduction or Withholding for Tax) of that Master Agreement shall apply.

24	ILLEGALITY, ETC

24.1	Illegality. This Clause 24 applies if a Lender (the "Notifying Lender") notifies the Agent that it has become, or will with effect from a specified date, become:

(a)	unlawful or prohibited as a result of the introduction of a new law, an amendment to an existing law or a change in the manner in which an existing law is or will be interpreted or applied; or

(b)	contrary to, or inconsistent with, any regulation,

for the Notifying Lender to maintain or give effect to any of its obligations under this Agreement in the manner contemplated by this Agreement.

24.2	Notification of illegality. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, the other Security Parties, the Security Trustee and the other Lenders of the notice under Clause 24.1 which the Agent receives from the Notifying Lender.

24.3

Prepayment; termination of Commitment. On the Agent notifying the Borrower under Clause 24.2, the Notifying Lender's Commitment shall terminate; and thereupon or, if later, on the date specified in the Notifying Lender's notice under Clause 24.1 as the date on which the notified event would become effective the Borrower shall prepay the Notifying Lender's Contribution in accordance with Clause 8, without penalty, premium or breakage costs.

24.4

Mitigation. If circumstances arise which would result in a notification under Clause 24.1 then, without in any way limiting the rights of the Notifying Lender under Clause 24.3, the Notifying Lender shall use reasonable endeavors to transfer its obligations, liabilities and rights under this Agreement and the Finance Documents to another office or financial institution not affected by the circumstances but the Notifying Lender shall not be under any obligation to take any such action if, in its opinion, to do would or might:

(a)	have an adverse effect on its business, operations or financial condition; or

(b)	involve it in any activity which is unlawful or prohibited or any activity that is contrary to, or inconsistent with, any regulation; or

(c)	involve it in any expense (unless indemnified to its satisfaction) or tax disadvantage.

25	INCREASED COSTS

25.1	Increased costs. This Clause 25 applies if a Lender (the "Notifying Lender") notifies the 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 the Lender's overall net income); or

(b)

complying with any regulation (including any which relates to capital adequacy or liquidity controls or which affects the manner in which the Notifying Lender allocates capital resources to its obligations under this Agreement) which is introduced, or altered, or the interpretation or application of which is altered, after the date of this Agreement,

the Notifying Lender (or a parent company of it) has incurred or will incur an "increased cost".

25.2	Meaning of "increased costs". In this Clause 25, "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 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;

(b)	a reduction in the amount of any payment to the Notifying Lender under this Agreement or in the effective return which such a payment represents to the Notifying Lender or on its capital;

(c)	an additional or increased cost of funding all or maintaining all or any of the advances comprised in a class of advances formed by or including the Notifying Lender's Contribution or (as the case may require) the proportion of that cost attributable to the Contribution; or

(d)	a liability to make a payment, or a return foregone, which is calculated by reference to any amounts received or receivable by the Notifying Lender under this Agreement;

(e)

but not an item attributable to a change in the rate of tax on the overall net income of the Notifying Lender (or a parent company of it) or an item covered by the indemnity for tax in Clause 22.1 or by Clause 23 or an item arising directly out of the implementation or application of or compliance with the "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards, a Revised Framework" published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in June 2004, in the form existing on the date of this Agreement ("Basel II") or any other law or regulation which implements Basel II (whether such implementation, application or compliance is by a government, regulator, Creditor Party or any of its affiliates).

For the purposes of this Clause 25.2 the Notifying Lender may in good faith allocate or spread costs and/or losses among its assets and liabilities (or any class of its assets and liabilities) on such basis as it considers appropriate.

25.3	Notification to Borrower of claim for increased costs. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the other Security Parties of the notice which the Agent received from the Notifying Lender under Clause 25.1.

25.4

Payment of increased costs. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, on the Agent's demand, for the account of the Notifying Lender the amounts which the Agent from time to time notifies the Borrower that the Notifying Lender has specified to be necessary to compensate the Notifying Lender for the increased cost.

25.5

Notice of prepayment. If the Borrower is not willing to continue to compensate the Notifying Lender for the increased cost under Clause 25.4, the Borrower may give the Agent not less than 14 days' notice of its intention to prepay the Notifying Lender's Contribution at the end of an Interest Period.

25.6	Prepayment; termination of Commitment. A notice under Clause 25.5 shall be irrevocable; the Agent shall promptly notify the Notifying Lender of the Borrower's notice of intended prepayment; and:

(a)	on the date on which the Agent serves that notice, the Commitment of the Notifying Lender shall be cancelled; and

(b)	on the date specified in its notice of intended prepayment, the Borrower shall prepay (without premium or penalty) the Notifying Lender's Contribution, together with accrued interest thereon at the applicable rate plus the Margin.

25.7	Application of prepayment. Clause 8 shall apply in relation to the prepayment.

SET-OFF

26.1	Application of credit balances. Each Creditor Party may, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without prior notice:

(a)

apply any balance (whether or not then due) which at any time stands to the credit of any account in the name of the Borrower at any office in any country of that Creditor Party in or towards satisfaction of any sum then due from the Borrower to that Creditor Party under any of the Finance Documents; and

(b)	for that purpose:

(i)

break, or alter the maturity of, all or any part of a deposit of the Borrower;

(ii)

convert or translate all or any part of a deposit or other credit balance into Dollars; and

(iii)

enter into any other transaction or make any entry with regard to the credit balance which the Creditor Party concerned considers appropriate.

26.2

Existing rights unaffected. No Creditor Party shall be obliged to exercise any of its rights under Clause 26.1; and those rights shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, charge, lien or other right or remedy to which a Creditor Party is entitled (whether under the general law or any document).

26.3

Sums deemed due to a Lender. For the purposes of this Clause 26, a sum payable by the Borrower to the Agent or the Security Trustee for distribution to, or for the account of, a Lender shall be treated as a sum due to that Lender; and each Lender's proportion of a sum so payable for distribution to, or for the account of, the Lenders shall be treated as a sum due to such Lender.

26.4	No Security Interest. This Clause 26 gives the Creditor Parties a contractual right of set-off only, and does not create any Security Interest over any credit balance of the Borrower.

27	TRANSFERS AND CHANGES IN LENDING OFFICES

27.1	Transfer by Borrower. The Borrower may not, without the consent of the Agent, given on the instructions of the Majority Lenders, transfer any of its rights, liabilities or obligations under any Finance Document.

27.2	Transfer by a Lender. Subject to Clause 27.4, a Lender (the "Transferor Lender") may at any time, without needing the consent of the Borrower or any other Security Party, cause:

(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),

to be (in the case of its rights) transferred to, or (in the case of its obligations) assumed by, another bank or financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (a "Transferee Lender") which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in Loans, securities or other financial assets in the shipping industry and is not an Affiliate of the Borrower by delivering to the Agent a completed certificate in the form set out in Schedule 5 with any modifications approved or required by the Agent (a "Transfer Certificate") executed by the Transferor Lender and the Transferee Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any rights and obligations of the Transferor Lender in its capacity as Agent or Security Trustee shall be determined in accordance with Clause 31.

27.3	Transfer Certificate, delivery and notification. As soon as reasonably practicable after a Transfer Certificate is delivered to the Agent, it shall (unless it has reason to believe that the Transfer Certificate may be defective):

(a)	sign the Transfer Certificate on behalf of itself, the Borrower, the other Security Parties, the Security Trustee, each of the other Lenders and each of the Swap Banks;

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

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

but the Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Transferor Lender and the Transferee Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations to the transfer to that Transferee Lender.

27.4	Effective Date of Transfer Certificate. 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 27.3 on or before that date.

27.5

No transfer without Transfer Certificate. Except as provided in Clause 27.17, 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 other Security Party, the Agent or the Security Trustee unless it is effected, evidenced or perfected by a Transfer Certificate.

27.6

Lender re-organization; waiver of Transfer Certificate. If a Lender enters into any merger, de-merger or other reorganization as a result of which all its rights or obligations vest in a successor, the Agent may, if it sees fit, by notice to the successor and the Borrower and the Security Trustee waive the need for the execution and delivery of a Transfer Certificate and, upon service of the Agent's notice, the successor shall become a Lender with the same Commitment and Contribution as were held by the predecessor Lender.

27.7	Effect of Transfer Certificate. The effect of a Transfer Certificate is 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 other 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 other 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 5.7 and Clause 21, 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.

The rights and equities of the Borrower or any other Security Party referred to above include, but are not limited to, any right of set off and any other kind of cross-claim.

27.8

Maintenance of register of Lenders. During the Security Period the Agent shall maintain a register in which it shall record the name, Commitment, Contribution and administrative details (including the lending office) from time to time of each Lender holding a Transfer Certificate and the effective date (in accordance with Clause 27.4) of the Transfer Certificate; and the Agent shall make the register available for inspection by any Lender, the Security Trustee and the Borrower during normal banking hours, subject to receiving at least three (3) Business Days' prior notice.

27.9

Reliance on register of Lenders. The entries on that register shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive in determining the identities of the Lenders and the amounts of their Commitments and Contributions and the effective dates of Transfer Certificates and may be relied upon by the Agent and the other parties to the Finance Documents for all purposes relating to the Finance Documents.

27.10

Authorization of Agent to sign Transfer Certificates. The Borrower, the Security Trustee, each Lender and each Swap Bank irrevocably authorizes the Agent to sign Transfer Certificates on its behalf.

27.11

Registration fee. In respect of any Transfer Certificate, the Agent shall be entitled to recover a registration fee of $5,000 from the Transferor Lender or (at the Agent's option) the Transferee Lender.

27.12

Sub-participation; subrogation assignment. A Lender may sub-participate all or any part of its rights and/or obligations under or in connection with the Finance Documents without the consent of, or any notice to, the Borrower, any other Security Party, the Agent or the Security Trustee; and the Lenders may assign, in any manner and terms agreed by the Majority Lenders, the Agent and the Security Trustee, all or any part of those rights to an insurer or surety who has become subrogated to them.

27.13

Disclosure of information. A Lender may disclose to a potential Transferee Lender or sub-participant any information which the Lender has received in relation to the Borrower, any other Security Party or their affairs under or in connection with any Finance Document, unless the information is clearly of a confidential nature.

27.14

Change of lending office. A Lender may change its lending office by giving notice to the Agent and the change shall become effective on the later of:

(a)	the date on which the Agent receives the notice; and

(b)	the date, if any, specified in the notice as the date on which the change will come into effect.

27.15

Notification. On receiving such a notice, the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Security Trustee; and, until the Agent receives such a notice, it shall be entitled to assume that a Lender is acting through the lending office of which the Agent last had notice.

27.16

Intentionally omitted.

27.17

Security over Lenders' rights. In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 27, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from the Borrower or any other Security Party, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create a Security Interest in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender including, without limitation:

(a)	any charge, assignment or other Security Interest to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank; and

(b)	in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any charge, assignment or other Security Interest granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities;

except that no such charge, assignment or Security Interest shall:

(i)

release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, assignment or Security Interest for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or

(ii)

require any payments to be made by the Borrower or any other Security Party or grant to any person any more extensive rights than those required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under the Finance Documents.

28	VARIATIONS AND WAIVERS

28.1

Variations, waivers etc. by Majority Lenders. Subject to Clause 28.2, a document shall be effective to vary, waive, suspend or limit any provision of a Finance Document, or any Creditor Party's rights or remedies under such a provision or the general law, only if the document is signed, or specifically agreed to by fax, by the Borrower, by the Agent on behalf of the Majority Lenders, by the Agent and the Security Trustee in their own rights, and, if the document relates to a Finance Document to which a Security Party is party, by that Security Party.

28.2	Variations, waivers etc. requiring agreement of all Lenders. As regards the following, Clause 28.1 applies as if the words "by the Agent on behalf of the Majority Lenders" were replaced by the words "by or on behalf of every Lender":

Exclusion of other or implied variations. Except for a document which satisfies the requirements of Clauses 28.1, 28.2, 28.3 or 28.4, no document, and no act, course of conduct, failure or neglect to act, delay or acquiescence on the part of the Creditor Parties or any of them (or any person acting on behalf of any of them) shall result in the Creditor Parties or any of them (or any person acting on behalf of any of them) being taken to have varied, waived, suspended or limited, or being precluded (permanently or temporarily) from enforcing, relying on or exercising:

(iii)

The Security Trustee hereby accepts the trusts imposed upon it as Security Trustee by this Agreement, and the Security Trustee covenants and agrees to perform the same as herein expressed and agrees to receive and disburse all monies constituting part of the Estate in accordance with the terms hereof.

31.2	Scope of Duties. Neither the Agent nor the Security Trustee (which terms as used in this sentence and in Clause 31.5 hereof shall include reference to their respective affiliates and their own respective and their respective affiliates' officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys-in-fact):

(a)

shall have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in any of the Finance Documents, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any of the Finance Documents be (except, with respect to the Security Trustee, as specifically stated to the contrary in this Agreement) a trustee for a Lender or a Swap Bank;

(b)

shall be responsible to the Lenders or the Swap Banks for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any of the Finance Documents, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any of the Finance Documents, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the Finance Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by any of the Security Parties or any other person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or for the location, condition or value of any property covered by any Security Interest under any of the Finance Documents or for the creation, perfection or priority of any such lien;

(c)	shall be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or under any of the Finance Documents unless expressly instructed to do so in writing by the Majority Lenders; or

(d)

shall be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any of the Finance Documents or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each of the Security Trustee and the Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and neither the Security Trustee nor the Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. Each of the Security Trustee and the Agent may deem and treat the payee of a Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent, together with the written consent of the Borrower to such assignment or transfer.

31.3

Reliance. Each of the Security Trustee and the Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telefacsimile, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper person or persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Security Trustee or the Agent, as the case may be. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any of the Finance Documents, each of the Security Trustee and the Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions signed by the Majority Lenders, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

31.4

Knowledge. Neither the Security Trustee nor the Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default (other than, in the case of the Agent, the non-payment of principal of or interest on the Loan) unless each of the Security Trustee and the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower specifying such Potential Event of Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default". If the Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of such Potential Event of Default or Event of Default, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Security Trustee, the Swap Bank and the Lenders (and shall give each Lender prompt notice of each such non-payment). Subject to Clause 31.8 hereof, the Security Trustee and the Agent shall take such action with respect to such Potential Event of Default or Event of Default or other event as shall be directed by the Majority Lenders, except that, unless and until the Security Trustee and the Agent shall have received such directions, each of the Security Trustee and the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Potential Event of Default or Event of Default or other event as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders and the Swap Banks.

31.5

Security Trustee and Agent as Lenders. Each of the Security Trustee and the Agent (and any successor acting as Security Trustee or Agent, as the case may be) in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Security Trustee or the Agent, as the case may be, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include each of the Security Trustee and the Agent in their respective individual capacities. Each of the Security Trustee and the Agent (and any successor acting as Security Trustee and Agent, as the case may be) and their respective affiliates may (without having to account therefor to a Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower and any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates as if it were not acting as the Security Trustee or the Agent, as the case may be, and each of the Security Trustee and the Agent and their respective affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

31.6

Indemnification of Security Trustee and Agent. The Lenders agree to indemnify each of the Agent and the Security Trustee (to the extent not reimbursed under other provisions of this Agreement, but without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under said other provisions, ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of each Lenders' participation in the Loan), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Security Trustee or the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Finance Documents or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses which the Borrower is to pay hereunder, but excluding, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of their respective agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, except that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.

31.7

Reliance on Security Trustee or Agent. Each Lender and each Swap Bank agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Security Trustee, the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Borrower and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Security Trustee, the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any of the Finance Documents. None of the Security Trustee or the Agent shall be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower of this Agreement or any of the Finance Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and/or the Swap Banks by the Security Trustee or the Agent hereunder, neither the Security Trustee nor the Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide a Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower or any of its respective parents, subsidiaries or Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Security Trustee, the Agent or any of their respective affiliates.

31.8

Actions by Security Trustee and Agent. Except for action expressly required of the Security Trustee or the Agent hereunder and under the other Finance Documents, each of the Security Trustee and the Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Clause 31.5 against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

31.9

Resignation and Removal. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Security Trustee or Agent (as the case may be) as provided below, each of the Security Trustee and the Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders, the Swap Banks and the Borrower, and the Security Trustee or the Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Security Trustee or Agent, as the case may be. If no successor Security Trustee or Agent, as the case may be, shall have been so appointed by the Lenders or, if appointed, shall not have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Security Trustee's or Agent's, as the case may be, giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Lenders' removal of the retiring Security Trustee or Agent, as the case may be, then the retiring Security Trustee or Agent, as the case may be, may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Swap Banks, appoint a successor Security Trustee or Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Security Trustee or Agent hereunder by a successor Security Trustee or Agent, such successor Security Trustee or Agent, as the case may be, shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Security Trustee or Agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Security Trustee or Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Security Trustee or Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Security Trustee or Agent, as the case may be, the provisions of this Clause 31 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Security Trustee or the Agent, as the case may be.

31.10

Release of Collateral. Without the prior written consent of the Lenders and the Swap Banks, and subject to the requirements of Clause 28, neither the Security Trustee nor the Agent will consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Finance Documents nor without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders and the Swap Bank release any Collateral or otherwise terminate any lien under the Finance Documents, except that no such consent is required, and each of the Security Trustee and the Agent is authorized, to release any lien covering property if the obligations have been paid and performed in full or which is the subject of a disposition of property permitted hereunder or to which the Lenders and the Swap Banks have consented.
