BACKGROUND:

(A)             The Chargor enters into this Deed in connection with the Facility Agreement (as defined below).

(B)              It is intended that this document take effect as a deed notwithstanding the fact that a party may only execute this document under hand.

IT IS AGREED as follows:

Party means a party to this Deed.

Receiver means a receiver-manager, receiver and manager or a receiver, in each case, appointed under this Deed.

Secured Liabilities means all present and future obligations and liabilities (whether actual or contingent or whether owed in any capacity whatsoever) of the Owners to the Lender under each Finance Document to which any of the Owners is, or will be, a party.

Vessel means [type of the Vessel] vessel owned by the Chargor.

1.2              Construction

(a)                Capitalised terms defined in the Facility Agreement have, unless expressly defined in this Deed, the same meaning in this Deed.

(b)               The provisions of Clause 1.2 (Construction) of the Facility Agreement apply to this Deed as though they were set out in full in this Deed, except that references to the Facility Agreement will be construed as references to this Deed.

(c)                                        (i)            The term Finance Document includes all amendments and supplements including supplements providing for further advances; and

(ii)               the term this Security means any security created by this Deed.

(d)               Any covenant of the Chargor under this Deed (other than a payment obligation) remains in force during the Security Period.

(e)                If the Lender considers that an amount paid to it under a Finance Document is capable of being avoided or otherwise set aside on the liquidation or administration of the payer or otherwise, then that amount will not be considered to have been irrevocably paid for the purposes of this Deed.

(f)                Unless the context otherwise requires, a reference to a Security Account includes the proceeds of sale of that Security Account.

2.                  Creation of Security

2.1              General

All the security created under this Deed:

(a)                is created in favour of the Lender;
