ITEM 1 -          FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT’S REVIEW REPORT ON INTERIM
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Teekay Shipping Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Teekay Shipping Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2003, the related consolidated statements of income for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Our review also included Schedule A listed in Index Item 1. These consolidated financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We were furnished with the report of other accountants on their review of the interim information of Ugland Nordic Shipping AS, a wholly-owned subsidiary, for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and whose total assets as of June 30, 2002 and whose net voyage revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 constituted 22 percent and 18 percent, respectively, of the consolidated totals.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews and the report of other accountants, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and schedule referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the consolidated balance sheet of Teekay Shipping Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, not presented herein, and in our report dated February 13, 2003 (except for Note 15(b) which is as of February 19, 2003.), we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and related schedule as of December 31, 2002, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet and schedule from which they have been derived.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)
(Information as at June 30, 2003 and for the Three and Six-Month Periods
Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 is unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

  The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. They include the accounts of Teekay Shipping Corporation (“Teekay”), which is incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and its wholly owned or controlled subsidiaries (the “Company”). Certain information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete annual financial statements have been omitted and, therefore, it is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. In the opinion of management, these statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals), necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.

2. Acquisition of Navion ASA

  In April 2003, Teekay completed its acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Navion ASA for approximately $774.2 million in cash, including transaction costs of approximately $7 million. The Company made a deposit of $76.0 million towards the purchase price on December 16, 2002. The remaining portion of the purchase price was paid on closing. The Company funded its acquisition of Navion by borrowing under a $500 million 364-day facility (subsequently replaced by a $550 million revolving credit facility), together with available cash and borrowings under other existing revolving credit facilities. Navion’s results of operation have been consolidated with Teekay’s results commencing April 1, 2003.

  Navion, based in Stavanger, Norway, operates primarily in the shuttle tanker and the conventional crude oil and product tanker markets. Its modern shuttle tanker fleet, which as of June 30, 2003, consisted of eight owned and 12 chartered-in vessels (excluding four vessels chartered-in from the Company’s shuttle tanker subsidiary Ugland Nordic Shipping AS (“UNS”)), provides logistical services to the Norwegian state-owned oil company, Statoil ASA, and other oil companies in the North Sea under fixed-rate, long-term contracts of affreightment. Navion’s modern, chartered-in, conventional tanker fleet, which as of June 30, 2003, consisted of 12 crude oil tankers and 13 product tankers, operates primarily in the Atlantic region, providing services to Statoil and other oil companies. In addition, Navion owns two floating storage and off-take (“FSO”) vessels currently trading as conventional crude oil tankers in the Atlantic region, and one liquid petroleum gas (“LPG”) carrier on long-term charter to Statoil. Through Navion Chartering AS, an entity owned jointly with Statoil, Navion has a first right of refusal on Statoil’s oil transportation requirements at the prevailing market rate until December 31, 2007. In addition to tanker operations, Navion also constructs, installs, operates and leases equipment that reduces volatile organic compound emissions during loading, transportation and storage of oil and oil products.

  The goodwill allocated to the fixed-rate contract segment is tested for impairment in the second quarter of each year. Based on the test conducted in June 2003, the Company determined that goodwill was not impaired at such time.

  As of June 30, 2003, the Company had three long-term Revolving Credit Facilities (the “Revolvers”) available, which, as at such date, provided for borrowings of up to $971.9 million, of which $421.9 million was undrawn. The amount available under the Revolvers reduces semi-annually by a combined $59.3 million, with final balloon reductions scheduled for one Revolver in 2006 and for the other two Revolvers in 2008. Two of the Revolvers are collateralized by first priority mortgages granted on 30 of the Company’s vessels, together with other related collateral, and all the revolvers include a guarantee from Teekay for all amounts outstanding under the Revolvers.

  The 7.25% Premium Equity Participating Security Units due May 18, 2006 (the “Equity Units”) are unsecured and subordinated to all of the Company’s senior debt. The Equity Units are not guaranteed by any of the Company’s subsidiaries and effectively rank behind all existing and future secured debt. Each Equity Unit includes (a) a forward contract that requires the holder to purchase for $25 a specified fraction of a share of the Company’s Common Stock on February 16, 2006 and (b) a $25 principal amount, subordinated note due May 18, 2006. The forward contracts provide for contract adjustment payments of 1.25% annually and the notes bear interest at 6.0% annually. Upon settlement on February 16, 2006 of the 5.75 million forward contracts included in the Equity Units, the Company will issue between 3,267,150 and 3,991,075 shares of its Common Stock (depending on the average closing price of the Common Stock for the 20-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to February 16, 2006).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)
(Information as at June 30, 2003 and for the Three and Six-Month Periods
Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 is unaudited)

  The 8.32% First Preferred Ship Mortgage Notes due February 1, 2008 (the “8.32% Notes”) are collateralized by first preferred mortgages on seven of the Company’s Aframax tankers, together with other related collateral, and are guaranteed by seven subsidiaries of Teekay that own the mortgaged vessels (the “8.32% Notes Guarantor Subsidiaries”) to a maximum of 95% of the fair value of their net assets. As at June 30, 2003, the fair value of these net assets approximated $172.5 million. The 8.32% Notes are also subject to a sinking fund, which will retire $45.0 million principal amount of the 8.32% Notes on each February 1, commencing 2004.

  Condensed financial information regarding Teekay, the 8.32% Notes Guarantor Subsidiaries, and non-guarantor subsidiaries of Teekay is set out in Schedule A of these consolidated financial statements.

  The Company has several term loans outstanding, which, as at June 30, 2003, totaled $442.5 million. All term loans of the Company are collateralized by first preferred mortgages on the vessels to which the loans relate, together with other collateral. All term loans, other than UNS term loans totaling $359.7 million, are guaranteed by Teekay. One term loan required a retention deposit of $6.5 million as at June 30, 2003.

  Pursuant to long-term debt agreements, the amount of Restricted Payments, as defined, that the Company can make, including dividends and purchases of its own capital stock, was limited as of June 30, 2003, to $504.1 million. Certain loan agreements require that a minimum level of free cash be maintained. As at June 30, 2003, this amount was $124.1 million.

6. Capital Stock

  The authorized capital stock of Teekay at June 30, 2003 was 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, with a par value of $1 per share, and 725,000,000 shares of Common Stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share. As at June 30, 2003, Teekay had 39,941,664 shares of Common Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

  As at June 30, 2003, the Company had reserved 5,553,914 shares of Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of options granted or to be granted pursuant to its 1995 Stock Option Plan. As at June 30, 2003, options to purchase a total of 4,303,057 shares of Teekay’s Common Stock were outstanding, of which 2,300,356 options were then exercisable at prices ranging from $16.875 to $41.190 per share, with a weighted-average exercise price of $28.764 per share. All outstanding options have exercise prices ranging from $16.875 to $41.190 per share and a weighted-average exercise price of $33.726 per share. All outstanding options expire between July 19, 2005 and March 10, 2013, ten years after the date of each respective grant.

  Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 (“SFAS 148”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure,” disclosures of stock-based compensation arrangements with employees are required and companies are encouraged (but not required) to record compensation costs associated with employee stock option awards, based on estimated fair values at the grant dates. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”) “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”As the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equals the market price of underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense has been recognized under APB 25. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share had the Company applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

  As of June 30, 2003, the Company was committed to the construction of one shuttle, three Suezmax and 10 Aframax tankers scheduled for delivery between August 2003 and December 2005, at a total cost of approximately $600.3 million, excluding capitalized interest. As of June 30, 2003, payments made towards these commitments totaled $168.3 million and long-term financing arrangements exist for $193.1 million of the cost of these vessels. It is the Company’s intention to finance the remaining $238.9 million through either debt borrowing, surplus cash balances, or a combination thereof. As of June 30, 2003, the remaining payments required to be made under these newbuilding contracts were: $125.3 million in 2003, $188.5 million in 2004 and $118.2 million in 2005. The shuttle and Suezmax tankers as well as two of the Aframax tanker newbuildings will be subject to long-term charter contracts upon delivery. These charter contracts expire between 2009 and 2015.

  The Company is also committed to a capital lease on an Aframax tanker that is currently under construction and is expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2003. The lease will require minimum payments of $66.9 million (including a purchase obligation payment) over the 15-year term of the lease.

  Teekay and certain of its subsidiaries have guaranteed their share of the outstanding mortgage debt in four 50%-owned joint venture companies. As of June 30, 2003, Teekay and these subsidiaries had guaranteed $105.7 million of such debt, or 50% of the total $211.3 million, in outstanding mortgage debt of the joint venture companies. These joint venture companies own an aggregate of four shuttle tankers.

  The Company enters into indemnification agreements with certain officers and directors. In addition, the Company enters into other indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. The maximum potential amount of future payments required under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. However, the Company maintains appropriate liability insurance that limits the exposure and enables the Company to recover any future amounts paid, less any deductible amounts pursuant to the terms of the respective policies, the amounts of which are not considered material.

10 Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

  The Company uses derivatives only for hedging purposes. The following summarizes the Company's risk strategies with respect to market risk from foreign currency fluctuations, changes in interest rates and bunker fuel prices and the effect of these strategies on the Company's financial statements.

  The Company hedges portions of its forecasted expenditures denominated in foreign currencies with forward contracts and a portion of its bunker fuel expenditures with bunker fuel swap contracts. As at June 30, 2003, the Company was committed to foreign exchange contracts for the forward purchase of approximately Norwegian Kroner 316.2 million, Canadian Dollars 63.0 million, Euros 1.0 million, and Singapore Dollars 0.7 million for U.S. Dollars at an average rate of Norwegian Kroner 7.32 per U.S. Dollar, Canadian Dollar 1.59 per U.S. Dollar, Euros 1.07 per U.S. Dollar and Singapore Dollar 1.72 per U.S. Dollar, respectively. The foreign exchange forward contracts mature as follows: $57.6 million in 2003 and $26.5 million in 2004. As at June 30, 2003, the Company was committed to bunker fuel swap contracts totaling 17,400 metric tonnes, with a weighted-average price of $116.0 per tonne. The fuel swap contracts expire between December 2003 and May 2004.

  As at June 30, 2003, the Company was committed to interest rate swap agreements whereby $710.0 million of the Company's floating-rate debt was swapped with fixed-rate obligations having a weighted-average remaining term of 2 years. These agreements, which expire between January 2004 and January 2006, effectively change the Company's interest rate exposure on $710.0 million of debt from a floating LIBOR rate to a weighted-average fixed-rate of 2.70%. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counter parties to the interest rate swap agreements; however, the Company does not anticipate non-performance by any of the counter parties.

11. Write-Down of Vessels

  During April 2003, the Company sold the Teekay Fulmar (1983-built Aframax-size oil/bulk/ore carrier ("O/B/O")), the Clare Spirit (1986-built Aframax tanker), and the Shannon Spirit (1987-built Aframax tanker). Subsequent to June 30, 2003, the Company sold three additional vessels: the Magellan Spirit (1985-built Aframax tanker), the Clyde Spirit (1985-built Aframax tanker), and the Mersey Spirit (1986-built Aframax tanker). The results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 include write-downs totaling $29.3 million related to these vessels. The above noted vessels were written down to their fair market value in the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, which was determined using the net proceeds from the sales. In addition, the Company anticipates selling other older vessels during the remainder of 2003 and recorded an additional write-down of $1.2 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 based on an estimate of their current fair market value.

12. Segment Reporting

  The Company has two reportable segments: its spot market segment and its fixed-rate contract segment. The Company's spot market segment consists of conventional crude oil tankers, O/B/Os, and product carriers operating on the spot market or subject to time charters or contracts of affreightment priced on a spot-market basis or on short-term fixed-rate contracts. The Company considers contracts that have an original term of less than three years in duration to be short-term. The Company's fixed-rate contract segment consists of shuttle tankers, FSO vessels, an LPG carrier and conventional crude oil and product tankers subject to long-term fixed-rate time-charter contracts or contracts of affreightment. Segment results are evaluated based on income from vessel operations. The accounting policies applied to the reportable segments are the same as those used in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements.

13 Recent Accounting Pronouncements

  In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” FIN 46 requires that if a business enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities and results of the activities of the variable interest entity should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the business enterprise. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. FIN 46 also sets forth certain disclosures regarding interests in variable interest entities that are deemed significant, even if consolidation is not required. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of FIN 46 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

14. Subsequent Events

  In July 2003, the Company purchased a 16 percent ownership interest in A/S Dampskibsselskabet Torm (“Torm”) for a total investment of approximately US$37.3 million. TORM’s common shares are listed on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange and its American Depository Shares are quoted on the NASDAQ.

  Headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, Torm is a leading carrier of refined petroleum products, operating three product tanker pools totaling over 60 vessels, including 21 owned vessels. In addition, Torm operates a drybulk carrier pool.

TEEKAY SHIPPING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
JUNE 30, 2003
PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

Teekay is a leading provider of international crude oil and petroleum product transportation services to major oil companies, major oil traders and government agencies worldwide. As at June 30, 2003, the Company’s fleet consisted of 151 vessels (including 43 vessels time-chartered in, 15 newbuildings on order, and 4 vessels owned by joint ventures), for a total cargo-carrying capacity of approximately 15.6 million deadweight tonnes.

The Company’s net voyage revenues are derived from:

  Spot voyages
  Time charters, whereby vessels are chartered to customers for a fixed period and
  Contracts of affreightment (“COAs”) whereby the Company carries an agreed quantity of cargo for a customer over a specified trade route within a given period of time.

The Company’s fleet is divided into two main segments, the spot market segment and the fixed-rate contract segment.

The Company’s spot market segment consists of conventional crude oil tankers, oil/bulk/ore carriers (“OBOs”), and product carriers operating on the spot market or subject to time charters or COAs priced on a spot-market basis or short-term fixed-rate contracts. The Company considers contracts that have an original term of less than three years in duration to be short-term. All of the Company’s very large crude carrier (“VLCC”) fleet and Suezmax conventional tanker fleet and substantially all of the Company’s conventional Aframax, large product and small product tanker fleets are among the vessels included in the spot market segment. Net voyage revenues earned by the vessels in the spot market segment accounted for approximately 63% and 70% of the Company’s net voyage revenues for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 as compared to 73% for both of the same periods last year. The Company’s dependence on the spot market, which is within industry norms, contributes to the volatility of the Company’s revenues, cash flow from operations, and net income. Historically, the tanker industry has been cyclical, experiencing volatility in profitability and asset values resulting from changes in the supply of, and demand for, vessel capacity. In addition, tanker spot markets have historically exhibited seasonal variations in charter rates. Tanker spot markets are typically stronger in the winter months as a result of increased oil consumption in the northern hemisphere and unpredictable weather patterns that tend to disrupt vessel scheduling.

The Company’s fixed-rate contract segment includes the Company’s shuttle tanker operations (Navion and Ugland Nordic Shipping (“UNS”), floating storage and off-take (“FSO”) vessels, a liquid petroleum gas (“LPG”) carrier, and certain conventional crude oil and product tankers on long-term fixed-rate time-charter contracts or COAs. Net voyage revenues earned by the vessels in this segment accounted for approximately 37% and 30% of the Company’s net voyage revenues for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003. The Company’s shuttle tanker operations provide services to oil companies, primarily in the North Sea, under long-term fixed-rate COAs or time-charter agreements. Historically, the utilization of shuttle tankers in the North Sea is higher in the winter months as favourable weather conditions in the summer months provide opportunities for repairs and maintenance to the offshore oil platforms, which generally reduces oil production. The Company currently has six newbuilding vessels on order in its fixed-rate contract segment, with a shuttle tanker scheduled to deliver in the third quarter of 2003 and five conventional crude oil tankers (three Suezmax and two Aframax tankers) expected to deliver in the fourth quarter of 2003 and early 2004. The five conventional crude oil tankers will be employed on 12-year contracts with ConocoPhillips when delivered.

Acquisition of Navion ASA

In April 2003, Teekay completed its acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Navion for approximately $774.2 million in cash, including transaction costs of approximately $7 million. The Company made a deposit of $76.0 million towards the purchase price on December 16, 2002. The remaining portion of the purchase price was paid on closing. The Company funded its acquisition of Navion by borrowing under a $500 million 364-day facility (subsequently replaced by a $550 million revolving credit facility), together with available cash, and borrowings under other existing revolving credit facilities. Navion’s results of operation have been consolidated with the Company’s results commencing April 1, 2003.

Navion, based in Stavanger, Norway, operates primarily in the shuttle tanker and the conventional crude oil and product tanker markets. Its modern shuttle tanker fleet, which as of June 30, 2003, consisted of eight owned and 12 chartered-in vessels (excluding four vessels chartered-in from the Company’s shuttle tanker subsidiary UNS), provides logistical services to the Norwegian state-owned oil company, Statoil ASA, and other oil companies in the North Sea under fixed-rate, long-term contracts of affreightment. Navion’s modern, chartered-in, conventional tanker fleet, which as of June 30, 2003, consisted of 12 crude oil tankers and 13 product tankers, operates primarily in the Atlantic region, providing services to Statoil and other oil companies. In addition, Navion owns two FSO vessels currently trading as conventional crude oil tankers in the Atlantic region, and one LPG carrier on long-term charter to Statoil. Through Navion Chartering AS, an entity owned jointly with Statoil, Navion has a first right of refusal on Statoil’s oil transportation requirements at the prevailing market rate until December 31, 2007. In addition to tanker operations, Navion also constructs, installs, operates and leases equipment that reduces volatile organic compound emissions during loading, transportation and storage of oil and oil products.

Navion provides the Company with a leadership position in the attractive shuttle tanker COA market segment. Management believes this acquisition will provide the Company with new growth opportunities and enhanced earnings and cash flow stability due to the fixed-rate, long-term nature of Navion’s shuttle tanker contracts.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2003, Navion contributed $28.8 million, or $0.71 per share, in net income, with $13.0 million, or $0.32 per share, attributable to Navion’s shuttle tanker business and $15.8 million, or $0.39 per share, attributable to Navion’s conventional tanker business.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the Company to make estimates in the application of its accounting policies based on the best assumptions, judgments, and opinions of management. Following is a discussion of the accounting policies that involve a higher degree of judgment and the methods of their application. For a further description of the Company’s material accounting policies, see Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates a majority of its revenues from voyage charters. Within the shipping industry, the two methods used to account for voyage revenues and expenses are the percentage of completion and the completed voyage methods. For each method, voyages may be calculated on either a load-to-load or discharge-to-discharge basis. Most shipping companies, including the Company, use the percentage of completion method.

In applying the percentage of completion method, management believes that in most cases the discharge-to-discharge basis of calculating voyages more accurately reflects voyage results than the load-to-load basis. At the time of cargo discharge, the Company generally has information about the next load port and expected discharge port, whereas at the time of loading the Company normally is less certain what the next load port will be.

Vessel Lives and Impairment

The carrying value of each of the Company’s vessels represents its original cost at the time of delivery or purchase less depreciation calculated using an estimated useful life of 25 years from the date the vessel was originally delivered from the shipyard. In the shipping industry, the use of a 25-year vessel life has become the prevailing standard. However, the actual life of a vessel may be different from the 25-year life, with a shorter life potentially resulting in an impairment loss. Regulations of the International Maritime Organization (“IMO”) that became effective in April 2001 require the accelerated phase-out of certain single-hull vessels.

On June 4, 2003, the European Union (“EU”) Parliament passed legislation that will accelerate the phase-out of single-hull tankers between now and 2010, ban the carriage of heavy oils on single-hull tankers in European waters, and impose a Condition Assessment Scheme (“CAS”) for single-hull tankers older than 15 years. The regulations are expected to be effective September 1, 2003 in European waters. Following the EU’s lead, in July 2003 the IMO agreed to accelerate the phase-out of Category I tankers (tankers built prior to 1982) by 2005. None of the single-hull tankers the Company operates are Category I tankers. In addition, the IMO is considering an accelerated phase-out for the world’s remaining single hull tankers — known as Categories II and III — but deferred its decision on this issue until its next meeting in December 2003. The IMO has indicated that it will also consider at that meeting a global ban on the carriage of heavy oils on single-hull tankers and the application of CAS to single-hull tankers over 15-years old.

If the EU regulations are adopted by the IMO, management believes that they could result in an impairment loss and higher depreciation expense for the Company related to a reduction of the estimated useful life of its single-hull vessels for accounting purposes. However, management believes that these regulations could also result in a tightening of the world tanker supply and a reallocation of affected tonnage. This could result in firmer tanker market conditions and increased tanker freight rates for modern vessels. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of these regulations will have on the Company’s results of operation or financial position.

The carrying values of the Company’s vessels may not represent their fair market value at any point in time since the market prices of secondhand vessels tend to fluctuate with changes in charter rates and the cost of newbuildings. Both charter rates and newbuilding costs tend to be cyclical in nature. The Company reviews vessels and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparing their carrying amount to future undiscounted cash flows that the assets are expected to generate over the useful remaining life. If vessels and equipment are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair market value.

Goodwill

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (“SFAS 142”), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and as a result has discontinued amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually or whenever an impairment indicator arises. An impairment test requires the Company to make estimates of future cash flows. If events or circumstances change, including reductions in anticipated cash flows generated by operations, goodwill could become impaired and result in a charge to earnings.

Results of Operations

Bulk shipping industry freight rates are commonly measured at the net voyage revenue level in terms of “time-charter equivalent” (“TCE”) rates, defined as voyage revenues less voyage expenses (excluding commissions), divided by voyage ship-days for the round-trip voyage. Voyage revenues and voyage expenses are a function of the type of charter, either spot charter or time-charter, and port, canal and fuel costs depending on the trade route upon which a vessel is sailing, in addition to being a function of the level of shipping freight rates. For this reason, shipowners base economic decisions regarding the deployment of their vessels upon anticipated TCE rates, and industry analysts typically measure bulk shipping freight rates in terms of TCE rates. Therefore, the discussion of revenue below focuses on net voyage revenues and TCE rates of the Company’s two reportable segments. See Item 1 — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements: Note 12 – Segment Reporting.

Spot Market Segment

TCE rates for the vessels in the Company’s spot market segment primarily depend on oil production and consumption levels, the number of vessels scrapped, the number of newbuildings delivered and charterers’ preference for modern tankers. As a result of the Company’s dependence on the tanker spot market, any fluctuations in TCE rates will impact the Company’s revenues and earnings.

The average size of the Company’s spot market fleet increased 33.8% and 16.3%, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, compared to the same periods last year, primarily due to the acquisition of Navion, and the delivery of two in-chartered newbuildings (an Aframax tanker delivered in April 2003 and a VLCC delivered in June 2003). This increase was partially offset by the disposal of four older tankers during the six-month period ended June 30, 2003.

Average TCE rates during the second quarter of 2003 were strong, although they declined from higher levels during the previous quarter. The decline in rates was largely driven by decreased oil consumption, reduced oil supplies from long-haul sources (as long-haul oil transportation from the Middle East was replaced by shorter-haul oil supplies, mainly from Venezuela) and the easing of tensions in the Middle East. A reduction in Iraqi crude exports was partially offset by an increase in production from other OPEC members. The Company’s average TCE rate for the vessels in its spot market segment decreased to $26,761 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003, from $28,181 for the previous quarter, but increased from $14,500 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002.

Net voyage revenues for the spot market segment increased 135.8% to $222.2 million and 103.4% to $395.7 million, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, from $94.2 million and $194.5 million for the same periods last year. These increases were primarily due to the increases in average fleet size and average TCE rates from the same periods last year.

Vessel operating expenses, which include crewing, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores and lubes, and communication expenses, decreased 0.6% to $32.4 million but increased 0.6% to $64.0 million, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, from $32.6 million and $63.7 million in the same periods last year. The increase in vessel operating expenses of the spot market segment attributable to the Navion acquisition was substantially offset by a reduction in costs due to the previously mentioned vessel dispositions.

Time-charter hire expense increased 276.6% to $50.8 million and 143.2% to $63.7 million, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, from $13.5 million and $26.2 million for the same periods last year. The increases were due primarily to the acquisition of Navion, which as of June 30, 2003 had 26 time-chartered-in vessels. The average number of vessels time-chartered-in by the Company, excluding the O/B/Os, was 31 in the period ended June 30, 2003 compared to 5 from the same period last year.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 7.3% to $27.8 million and 7.0% to $54.7 million, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, from $25.9 million and $51.1 million for the same periods last year. The increase in depreciation and amortization for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003 attributable to the Navion acquisition was substantially offset by a reduction from the previously mentioned vessel dispositions that took place during the six-month period ended June 30, 2003. The overall increases for such three- and six-month periods were mainly due to increases in drydock amortization, which totaled $5.8 million and $11.1 million, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, compared to $4.4 million and $8.1 million for the same periods last year. The increases in drydock amortization were primarily due to increased drydock costs and required drydockings for older vessels.

Fixed-Rate Contract Segment

The average size of the Company’s fixed-rate contract segment increased 141.1% and 76.4%, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, compared to the same periods last year, primarily due to the acquisition of Navion as well as the addition of one shuttle tanker during the fourth quarter of 2002 and two shuttle tankers during first quarter of 2003.

Net voyage revenues increased 267.8% to $130.9 million and 138.3% to $170.3 million, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, from $35.6 million and $71.5 million for the same periods last year due primarily to the increase in fleet size.

Vessel operating expenses increased 130.3% to $23.1 million and 76.1% to $34.1 million, respectively, for the three- and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, from $10.0 million and $19.4 million for the same periods last year primarily due to the increase in fleet size. Other less significant reasons for the increases in vessel operating expenses were higher repair, maintenance and crewing costs, and the weakening of the U.S. Dollar.

Time-charter hire expense increased to $42.7 million for the three- and six-months periods ended June 30, 2003, from $nil for the same periods last year. The Company did not have any chartered-in shuttle tankers prior to the acquisition of Navion. As at June 30, 2003, the Company had 12 chartered-in shuttle tankers.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 102.6% to $22.0 million and 57.5% to 34.2 million, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, from $10.8 million and $21.7 million for the same periods last year. The increases were mainly due to increased vessel cost amortization as a result of the increases in fleet size and the amortization of the estimated fair market value of the COAs the Company acquired as part of the Navion acquisition.

Other Operating Results

General and administrative expenses increased 52.9% to $21.9 million and 28.6% to $36.6 million, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, from $14.3 million and $28.5 million for the same periods last year. These increases were primarily the result of the acquisition of Navion and a one-time cost of $1.4 million relating to the consolidation of two of the Company’s offices in Australia.

Interest expense increased 49.9% to $21.7 million and 23.7% to $36.1 million, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, from $14.5 million and $29.2 million for the same periods last year. The increase reflects the additional debt required for the purchase of Navion.

Interest income increased 28.6% to $1.3 million and 19.0% to $2.1 million, respectively, in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, from $1.0 million and $1.8 million in the same periods last year. This increase was primarily due to interest earned on higher cash balances due to the acquisition of Navion.

In connection with sales and proposed sales of vessels, the Company incurred write-downs of vessel values of $3.8 million and $30.6 million, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003. There was no write-down on vessel values for the same periods last year. See Item 1 — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements: Note 11 – Write-Down of Vessels.

Other loss for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 was $11.3 million and $20.9 million, respectively, and was primarily comprised of income taxes, equity income from 50%-owned joint ventures, dividend income from Nordic American Tanker Shipping Ltd. (“NAT”), gain on disposition of available-for-sale securities, partially offset by the write-down of available-for-sale securities, loss on disposition of fixed assets, foreign exchange loss and minority interest expense. Other loss of $5.1 million and $8.3 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002, was comprised primarily of income taxes, loss on disposition of available-for-sale securities, minority interest expense, partially offset by equity income from 50%-owned joint ventures, dividend income from NAT, and foreign exchange gains.

As a result of the foregoing factors, net income was $96.9 million and $150.5 million, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, compared to $3.9 million and $19.6 million for the same periods last year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As at June 30, 2003, the Company’s total cash and cash equivalents was $293.2 million, compared to $284.6 million at December 31, 2002. The Company’s total liquidity, including cash, short-term marketable securities and undrawn long-term borrowings, was $715.1 million as at June 30, 2003, up from $525.3 million as at December 31, 2002. The increase in liquidity was mainly the result of net proceeds from the Equity Units used to pre-pay a portion of the outstanding balance of the Company’s Revolvers and the net cash flow from operating activities generated during the first six months of 2003, partially offset by cash used for capital expenditures (including the purchase of Navion), debt repayments, and payment of dividends. In the Company’s opinion, working capital is sufficient for the Company’s present requirements.

Net cash flow from operating activities increased to $274.5 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, from $112.0 million in the same period last year, mainly reflecting the significant increase in the Company’s average spot market segment TCE rates and in the Company's fleet size.

Scheduled debt repayments were $37.2 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, compared to $25.9 million during the same period last year. Debt prepayments were $945.0 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2003. There was no debt prepayment made during the same period last year.

As at June 30, 2003, the Company’s total debt was $1,655.4 million, compared to $1,130.8 million as at December 31, 2002. As at June 30, 2003, the Company’s Revolvers provided for borrowings of up to $971.9 million, of which $421.9 million was undrawn. The amount available under the Revolvers reduces semi-annually, with final balloon reductions in 2006 and 2008. The Company’s 8.32% First Preferred Ship Mortgage Notes are due February 1, 2008 and are subject to a sinking fund which will retire $45.0 million principal amount of the 8.32% Notes on February 1 of each year, commencing 2004. The Company’s Equity Units and unsecured 8.875% Senior Notes are due May 18, 2006 and July 15, 2011, respectively. The Company’s outstanding term loans reduce in quarterly or semi-annual payments with varying maturities through 2011.

Among other matters, the Company’s long-term debt agreements generally provide for maintenance of certain vessel market value-to-loan ratios and minimum consolidated financial covenants, prepayment privileges (in some cases with penalties), and restrictions against the incurrence of new investments by the individual subsidiaries without prior lender consent. The amount of Restricted Payments, as defined, that the Company can make, including dividends and purchases of its own capital stock, was limited to $504.1 million as of June 30, 2003. Certain of the loan agreements require that a minimum level of free cash be maintained. As at June 30, 2003, this amount was $124.1 million.

Dividends declared during the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $17.1 million, or 43.0 cents per share.

During the three months ended June 30, 2003, the Company incurred capital expenditures for vessels and equipment of $115.7 million. These capital expenditures primarily represented the installment payments on the Company’s newbuildings. Cash expenditures for drydocking increased slightly to $13.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, from $13.5 million during the same period last year.

As at June 30, 2003, the Company was committed to the construction of one shuttle, three Suezmax and 10 Aframax tankers. See Item 1 — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements: Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies.

The Company is also committed to a capital lease on an Aframax tanker that is currently under construction and is expected to deliver in the fourth quarter of 2003. The lease will require minimum payments of $66.9 million (including a purchase obligation payment) over the 15-year term of the lease.

The following table summarizes the Company’s long-term contractual obligations as at June 30, 2003 (in millions of U.S. dollars).

The Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company have guaranteed their share of the outstanding mortgage debt in four 50%-owned joint venture companies. See Item 1 — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements: Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies.

In February 2003, the Company completed its offering of Equity Units for gross proceeds of $143.75 million. See Item 1 — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements: Note 5 – Long-Term Debt.

As part of its growth strategy, the Company will continue to consider strategic opportunities, including the acquisition of additional vessels and expansion into new markets. The Company may choose to pursue such opportunities through internal growth, joint ventures, or business acquisitions. The Company intends to finance any future acquisitions through various sources of capital, including internally-generated cash flow, existing credit facilities, additional debt borrowings, and the issuance of additional shares of capital stock.

  2.2 Drawings Subject to satisfaction by the Borrower of the conditions set out in Clause 3.1 (in respect of the first Drawing), Clause 3.3 (in respect of all subsequent Drawings), and subject to Clause 2.3, and provided that the maximum aggregate amount of the Facility Outstandings at any given time during the Facility Period shall not exceed the Maximum Facility Amount, each Drawing shall be advanced to the Borrower, in each case by the Agent transferring the amount of the Drawing to such account of the Borrower as the Borrower shall notify to the Agent in the relevant Drawdown Notice by such same day method of funds transfer as the Agent shall select.

  2.3 Advance of Drawings Each Drawing shall be advanced in Dollars. Each Drawing shall be advanced on a Business Day, provided that the Borrower shall have given to the Agent not more than ten and not fewer than four Business Days’ notice in writing materially in the form set out in Schedule  5 of the required Advance Date of the Drawing in question and provided that the requested Drawing would not cause a breach of Clause 2.5.

  2.4 Facility Reduction

  2.4.1 The amount of the Facility available to the Borrower for drawing under this Agreement shall be five hundred and fifty million Dollars ($550,000,000) during the period from the Execution Date until the First Reduction Date. On the First Reduction Date and on each of the eight Subsequent Reduction Dates the amount of the Facility available for drawing shall be reduced by an amount equal to one eighteenth of the Maximum Facility Amount. In the event of a Change of Control the amount of the Facility available for drawing shall be reduced to zero and any outstanding Drawings shall be immediately repayable. On the Termination Date the Facility available shall be reduced to zero. The mandatory reductions in the amount of the Facility available for drawing required pursuant to this Clause will be made in the amounts and at the times specified whether or not the Maximum Facility Amount is reduced pursuant to Clause 2.4.3, Clause 2.4.4, Clause 5.2, Clause 15.7 or Clause 15.8. Any mandatory reductions pursuant to Clause 2.4.3 (sale) or Clause 2.4.4 (Total Loss) shall be applied to the remaining mandatory reductions hereunder on a pro rata basis.

  2.4.2 The Borrower may voluntarily cancel the Maximum Facility Amount in whole or in part in integral multiples of five million Dollars ($5,000,000), provided that it has first given to the Agent not fewer than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice expiring on a Business Day of its desire to reduce the Maximum Facility Amount. Any such reduction in the Maximum Facility Amount shall not be reversed. Any voluntary reduction in the Maximum Facility Amount pursuant to this Clause shall be applied to the remaining mandatory reductions under Clause 2.4.1 on a pro rata basis.

  2.4.3 In the event of a sale or disposal of a Vessel or the sale or disposal of any other asset owned by any member of the Navion Group as at the date hereof or which is the subject of Qualifying Security and where the net sales proceeds of such sales in any twelve (12) month period exceeds five million Dollars ($5,000,000) (or the equivalent in any other currency), the Maximum Facility Amount shall be reduced on the date of receipt of such proceeds by the amount of such net sale or disposal proceeds (the “Net Proceeds”) unless either:

  (i) the Vessel or asset in question remains owned by a member of the Navion Group; or

  (ii) the Vessel or asset in question is replaced within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the sale with a similar vessel or asset being in all respects acceptable to all of the Finance Parties in their absolute discretion

    and in either case any security held by the Agent over such Vessel or asset is reconstituted immediately after the sale by the new owner or over the replacement asset (as the case may be) in substantially identical form, and the Agent obtains favourable legal opinions in respect of such reconstituted security. For any period commencing on the date of the sale or disposal of a Vessel or other relevant asset and ending on the earlier of (a) the date falling one hundred and twenty (120) days thereafter and (b) the date on which a replacement Vessel or asset is acquired in accordance with the provisions of this Clause, then, at the Borrower’s option, either

  (a) the Net Proceeds shall be placed in such account as the Agent may reasonably specify and the Borrower shall execute and deliver a first priority charge over the Net Proceeds in favour of the Agent on behalf of the Finance Parties in such form as the Agent may reasonably specify and the Net Proceeds and the said deed of charge would (subject to no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default then being in existence) be released at the end of such period; or

  (b) a part of the Maximum Facility Amount equivalent to the Net Proceeds (the “Unavailable Portion”) shall be unavailable for drawing. If the aggregate Drawings then advanced exceed the Maximum Facility Amount less the Unavailable Portion, the Borrower shall promptly make such prepayment as may be required to ensure that the aggregate Drawings then advanced are equal to or less than the Maximum Facility Amount less the Unavailable Portion. For the avoidance of doubt, Commitment Commission shall continue to accrue on the Unavailable Portion for such period.

  2.4.4 In the event that any Vessel becomes a Total Loss, on the earlier to occur of (a) the date of receipt of the proceeds of the Total Loss and (b) the date falling one hundred and eighty (180) days after the occurrence of the Total Loss (the “Reduction Date”), the Maximum Facility Amount shall (subject to the proviso hereto) reduce by the Pro Rata Insurance Proceeds Amount in respect of such Vessel. Any such reductions in the Maximum Facility Amount shall not be reversed. If, as a result of any reduction in the Maximum Facility Amount pursuant to this Clause the Facility Outstandings exceed the Maximum Facility Amount, the Borrower shall, on the earlier to occur of (a) the one hundred and eightieth day after the date of such Total Loss occurring and (b) the date on which the Borrower receives the proceeds of such Total Loss, prepay such amount of the Facility Outstandings as will ensure that the Facility Outstandings are not greater than the Maximum Facility Amount. Any such prepayment shall not be reborrowed and Clause 5.3 shall apply to any such prepayment. PROVIDED ALWAYS that if there is an investment in a substitute vessel acceptable to all of the Banks within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the Reduction Date, and security over such substitute vessel acceptable to all of the Banks is also executed and delivered within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the Reduction Date, then the reduction in the Maximum Facility Amount shall not apply.

  2.4.5 To the extent that repayments or prepayments made by the Borrower to the Agent in accordance with this Agreement reduce the Facility Outstandings to less than the Maximum Facility Amount, the Borrower shall again be entitled to make Drawings up to the Commitment Termination Date in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement. Any part of the Facility which is undrawn on the Commitment Termination Date shall be automatically cancelled.

  2.4.6 Simultaneously with each reduction of the Maximum Facility Amount in accordance with Clause 2.4.1, Clause 2.4.2, Clause 2.4.3 or Clause 2.4.4 (as the case may be), the Commitment of each Bank will reduce so that the Commitments of the Banks in respect of the reduced Maximum Facility Amount remain in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares.

  2.5 Restrictions on Drawings The Borrower shall not be entitled to make more than one Drawing on any Business Day and no more than seven (7) Drawings may be outstanding at any one time during the Facility Period. Each Drawing shall be of an amount of not less than ten million Dollars ($10,000,000) and in integral multiples of five million Dollars ($5,000,000) or the undrawn balance of the Facility.

  2.6 Termination Date No Bank shall be under any obligation to advance all or any part of its Commitment after the Commitment Termination Date.

  2.7 Several obligations The obligations of the Banks under this Agreement are several. The failure of a Bank to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower to any Finance Party nor shall any Finance Party be liable for the failure of another Bank to perform any of its obligations under or in connection with this Agreement.

  2.8 Application of Facility Without prejudice to the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, no Finance Party shall be obliged to concern itself with the application of the Facility by the Borrower.

  9.16.1 that Bank shall promptly notify the Agent (which shall promptly notify each other Bank);

  9.16.2 that Bank shall pay to the Agent an amount equal to the Excess Amount within ten days of its receipt or recovery of the Excess Amount; and

If a Bank does not provide the Agent with instructions within that period, (i) that Bank shall be bound by the decision of the Agent, (ii) that Bank shall have no vote for the purposes of this Clause and (iii) the combined Proportionate Shares of the other Banks who provided such instructions shall be deemed to contribute 100%. Nothing in this Clause shall limit the right of the Agent to take, or refrain from taking, any action without obtaining the instructions of the Banks if the Agent in its discretion considers it necessary or appropriate to take, or refrain from taking, such action in order to preserve the rights of the Banks under or in connection with the Security Documents. In that event, the Agent will notify the Banks of the action taken by it as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Banks agree to ratify any action taken by the Agent pursuant to this Clause.

  9.20 Communications Any Communication under this Clause shall be given, delivered, made or served, in the case of the Agent (in its capacity as Agent or as one of the Banks), and in the case of the other Banks, at the address indicated in Schedule 1 or such other addresses as shall be duly notified in writing to the Agent on behalf of the Banks.

  9.22 Retirement Subject to a successor being appointed in accordance with this Clause, the Agent may retire as agent and/or security trustee at any time without assigning any reason by giving to the Borrower and the other Finance Parties notice of its intention to do so, in which event the following shall apply:-

  9.22.1 with the consent of the Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld, the other Finance Parties may within thirty days after the date of the Agent’s notice appoint a successor to act as agent and/or security trustee or, if they fail to do so with the consent of the Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld, the Agent may appoint any other bank or financial institution as its successor;

  9.23 No fiduciary relationship Except as provided in Clauses 9.3 and 9.14, the Agent shall not have any fiduciary relationship with or be deemed to be a trustee of or for a Bank or an Arranger and nothing contained in any of the Security Documents shall constitute a partnership between any two or more Banks or Arrangers or between the Agent and any Bank or Arranger.

  9.24 The Agent as a Bank The expression “ the Banks ” when used in the Security Documents includes the Agent in its capacity as one of the Banks. The Agent shall be entitled to exercise its rights, powers, discretions and remedies under or pursuant to the Security Documents in its capacity as one of the Banks in the same manner as any other Bank and as if it were not also the Agent.

  14.1 Right to assign Each of the Banks may assign or transfer all or any of its rights under or pursuant to the Security Documents or grant sub-participations in all or any part of its Commitment to any other branch of that Bank or (with the prior written consent of the Borrower which shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall be deemed given if the Borrower fails to respond to any written request under this provision within a period of ten (10) Business Days) to any other bank or financial institution, provided that such assignment or transfer or sub-participation does not result in the Borrower being subject to any additional Tax or other financial or legal obligations other than those contemplated by the terms of this Agreement at the time of such assignment, transfer or sub-participation.

  14.2 Borrower’s co-operation The Borrower will co-operate fully with the Banks in connection with any assignment, transfer or sub-participation pursuant to Clause 14.1; will execute and procure the execution of such documents as the Banks may require in connection therewith; and irrevocably authorises each of the Finance Parties to disclose to any proposed assignee, transferee or sub-participant (whether before or after any assignment, transfer or sub-participation and whether or not any assignment, transfer or sub-participation shall take place) all information relating to the Security Parties, the Facility or the Security Documents which each such Finance Party may in its discretion consider necessary or desirable (subject to any duties of confidentiality applicable to the Banks generally).

  14.3 Rights of assignee Any assignee, transferee or sub-participant of a Bank shall (unless limited by the express terms of the assignment, transfer or sub-participation) take the full benefit of every provision of the Security Documents benefiting that Bank.

  14.4 Transfer Certificates If any Bank wishes to transfer all or any of its Commitment as contemplated in Clause 14.1 then such transfer may be effected by the delivery to the Agent of a duly completed and duly executed Transfer Certificate in which event, on the later of the Transfer Date specified in such Transfer Certificate and the fifth Business Day after the date of delivery of such Transfer Certificate to the Agent:

  14.4.2 the Borrower and the Transferee which is a party thereto shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from such discharged rights and obligations only insofar as the Borrower and such Transferee have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of the Borrower and such Bank; and

  14.4.3 the Agent, the Arrangers, the Transferee and the other Banks shall acquire the same rights and benefits and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had such Transferee been an original party to this Agreement as a Bank with the rights, benefits and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of such transfer.

  14.5 Power of Attorney In order to give effect to each Transfer Certificate the Finance Parties and the Borrower each hereby irrevocably and unconditionally appoint the Agent as its true and lawful attorney with full power to execute on their respective behalves each Transfer Certificate delivered to the Agent pursuant to Clause 14.4 without the Agent being under any obligation to take any further instructions from or give any prior notice to, any of the Finance Parties or, subject to the Borrower’s rights under Clause 14.1, the Borrower before doing so and the Agent shall so execute each such Transfer Certificate on behalf of the other Finance Parties and the Borrower immediately on its receipt of the same pursuant to Clause 14.4.

  14.6 Notification The Agent shall promptly notify the other Finance Parties, the Transferee and the Borrower on the execution by it of any Transfer Certificate together with details of the amount transferred, the Transfer Date and the parties to such transfer.

  15 Payments, Mandatory Prepayment, Reserve Requirements and Illegality

  15.1 Payments All amounts payable by the Borrower under or pursuant to any of the Security Documents shall be paid to such accounts at such banks as the Agent may from time to time direct to the Borrower and shall be paid in Dollars in same day funds (or such funds as are required by the authorities in the United States of America for settlement of international payments for immediate value). Payments shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the date on which the Agent receives authenticated advice of receipt, unless that advice is received by the Agent on a day other than a Business Day or at a time of day (whether on a Business Day or not) when the Agent in its reasonable discretion considers that it is impossible or impracticable for the Agent to utilise the amount received for value that same day, in which event the payment in question shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the Business Day next following the date of receipt of advice by the Agent.

  15.2 No deductions or withholdings All payments (whether of principal or interest or otherwise) to be made by the Borrower pursuant to the Security Documents shall, subject only to Clause 15.3, be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of any Taxes or other deductions, withholdings, restrictions, conditions or counterclaims of any nature, and the Borrower will not claim any equity in respect of any payment due from it to the Banks or to the Agent under or in relation to any of the Security Documents.

  15.3 Grossing-up If at any time any law requires (or is interpreted to require) the Borrower to make any deduction or withholding from any payment, or to change the rate or manner in which any required deduction or withholding is made, the Borrower will promptly notify the Agent and, simultaneously with making that payment, will pay to the Agent whatever additional amount (after taking into account any additional Taxes on, or deductions or withholdings from, or restrictions or conditions on, that additional amount) is necessary to ensure that, after making the deduction or withholding, the Agent and the Banks receive a net sum equal to the sum which they would have received had no deduction or withholding been made.

  15.4 Evidence of deductions If at any time the Borrower is required by law to make any deduction or withholding from any payment to be made by it pursuant to any of the Security Documents, the Borrower will pay the amount required to be deducted or withheld to the relevant authority within the time allowed under the applicable law and will, no later than thirty days after making that payment, deliver to the Agent an original receipt issued by the relevant authority, or other evidence reasonably acceptable to the Agent, evidencing the payment to that authority of all amounts required to be deducted or withheld. If the Borrower makes any deduction or withholding from any payment under or pursuant to any of the Security Documents, and a Bank subsequently receives a refund or allowance from any tax authority which that Bank at its sole discretion identifies as being referable to that deduction or withholding, that Bank shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, pay to the Borrower an amount equal to the amount of the refund or allowance received, if and to the extent that it may do so without prejudicing its right to retain that refund or allowance and without putting itself in any worse financial position than that in which it would have been had the deduction or withholding not been required to have been made. Nothing in this Clause shall be interpreted as imposing any obligation on any Bank unless requested by the Borrower to apply for any refund or allowance nor as restricting in any way the manner in which any Bank organises its tax affairs, nor as imposing on any Bank any obligation to disclose to the Borrower any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations. All costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in obtaining or seeking to obtain a refund or allowance from any tax authority pursuant to this Clause shall be for the Borrower’s account.

  15.5 Adjustment of due dates If any payment to be made under any of the Security Documents, other than a payment of interest on the Facility, shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, that payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (unless the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next calendar month in which event the payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day). Any such variation of time shall be taken into account in computing any interest in respect of that payment.

  15.6 Change in law If, by reason of the introduction of any law, or any change in any law, or the interpretation or administration of any law, or in compliance with any request or requirement from any central bank or any fiscal, monetary or other authority:-

  15.6.1 any Finance Party (or the holding company of any Finance Party) shall be subject to any Tax with respect to payments of all or any part of the Indebtedness; or

  15.6.2 the basis of Taxation of payments to any Finance Party in respect of all or any part of the Indebtedness shall be changed; or

  15.6.3 any reserve requirements shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable against assets held by or deposits in or for the account of or loans by any branch of any Finance Party or its direct or indirect holding company; or

  15.6.4 any ratio (whether cash, capital adequacy, liquidity or otherwise) which any Finance Party or its direct or indirect holding company is required or requested to maintain shall be affected; or

  15.6.5 there is imposed on any Finance Party (or on the direct or indirect holding company of any Finance Party) any other condition in relation to the Indebtedness or the Security Documents;

    and the result of any of the above shall be to increase the cost to any Bank (or to the direct or indirect holding company of any Bank) of that Bank making or maintaining its Commitment or its Drawing, or to cause any Finance Party to suffer (in its reasonable opinion) a material reduction in the rate of return on its overall capital below the level which it reasonably anticipated at the date of this Agreement and which it would have been able to achieve but for its entering into this Agreement and/or performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Finance Party affected shall notify the Agent and, on demand to the Borrower by the Agent, the Borrower shall from time to time pay to the Agent for the account of the Finance Party affected the amount which shall compensate that Finance Party or the Agent (or the relevant holding company) for such additional cost or reduced return. A certificate signed by an authorised signatory of the Agent or of the Finance Party affected setting out the amount of that payment and the basis of its calculation shall be submitted to the Borrower and shall be conclusive evidence of such amount save for manifest error or on any question of law.

  15.7 Illegality and impracticality Notwithstanding anything contained in the Security Documents, the obligations of a Bank to advance or maintain its Commitment shall terminate in the event that a change in any law or in the interpretation of any law by any authority charged with its administration shall make it unlawful for that Bank to advance or maintain its Commitment. In such event the Bank affected shall notify the Agent and the Agent shall, by written notice to the Borrower, declare that Bank’s obligations to be immediately terminated. If all or any part of the Facility shall have been advanced by the Banks to the Borrower, the portion of the Indebtedness (including all accrued interest) advanced by the Bank so affected shall be prepaid within thirty days from the date of such notice. Clause 5.3 shall apply to that prepayment if it is made on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period. During that period, the affected Bank shall negotiate in good faith with the Borrower to find an alternative method or lending base in order to maintain the Facility.

  15.8 Changes in market circumstances If at any time a Bank determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that, by reason of changes affecting the London Interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest on the Facility or any part thereof pursuant to this Agreement:-

  15.8.1 that Bank shall give notice to the Agent and the Agent shall give notice to the Borrower of the occurrence of such event; and

  15.8.2 the Agent shall as soon as reasonably practicable certify to the Borrower in writing the effective cost to that Bank of maintaining its Commitment for such further period as shall be selected by that Bank and the rate of interest payable by the Borrower for that period; or, if that is not acceptable to the Borrower,

  15.8.3 the Agent in accordance with instructions from that Bank and subject to that Bank’s approval of any agreement between the Agent and the Borrower, will negotiate with the Borrower in good faith with a view to modifying this Agreement to provide a substitute basis for that Bank’s Commitment which is financially a substantial equivalent to the basis provided for in this Agreement.

    If, within thirty days of the giving of the notice referred to in Clause 15.8.1, the Borrower and the Agent fail to agree in writing on a substitute basis for such Bank’s Commitment the Borrower will immediately prepay the amount of such Bank’s Commitment and the Maximum Facility Amount will automatically decrease by the amount of such Commitment and such decrease shall not be reversed. Clause 5.3 shall apply to that prepayment if it is made on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period.

  15.9 Non-availability of currency If a Bank is for any reason unable to obtain Dollars in the London Interbank market and is, as a result, or as a result of any other contingency affecting the London Interbank market, unable to advance or maintain its Commitment in Dollars, that Bank shall give notice to the Agent and the Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and that Bank’s obligations to make the Facility available shall immediately cease. In that event, if all or any part of the Facility shall have been advanced by that Bank to the Borrower, the Agent in accordance with instructions from that Bank and subject to that Bank’s approval of any agreement between the Agent and the Borrower, will negotiate with the Borrower in good faith with a view to establishing a mutually acceptable basis for funding the Facility or relevant part thereof from an alternative source. If the Agent and the Borrower have failed to agree in writing on a basis for funding the Facility or relevant part thereof from an alternative source by 11.00 a.m. on the second Business Day prior to the end of the then current relevant Interest Period, the Borrower will (without prejudice to its other obligations under or pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, its obligation to pay interest on the Facility, arising on the expiry of the then relevant Interest Period) prepay the Indebtedness (or relevant part thereof) to the Agent on behalf of that Bank on the expiry of the then current relevant Interest Period.

  17.5 Protection and enforcement The Borrower shall indemnify the Finance Parties from time to time on demand against all losses, costs and liabilities which any Finance Party may from time to time sustain, incur or become liable for in or about the protection, maintenance or enforcement of the rights conferred on the Finance Parties by the Security Documents or in or about the exercise or purported exercise by the Finance Parties of any of the rights, powers, discretions or remedies vested in them under or arising out of the Security Documents, including (without limitation) any losses, costs and liabilities which any Finance Party may from time to time sustain, incur or become liable for by reason of any Finance Party being mortgagees of any Vessel and/or a lender to the Borrower, or by reason of any Finance Party being deemed by any court or authority to be an operator or controller, or in any way concerned in the operation or control, of any Vessel. No such indemnity will be given to a Finance Party where any such loss, cost or liability has occurred due to gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of that Finance Party; however this shall not affect the right of any other Finance Party to receive any such indemnity.

  17.6 Liabilities of Finance Parties The Borrower will from time to time reimburse the Finance Parties on demand for all sums which any Finance Party may pay on account of any of the Security Parties or in connection with any Vessel (whether alone or jointly or jointly and severally with any other person) including (without limitation) all sums which any Finance Party may pay or guarantees which any Finance Party may give in respect of the Insurances, any expenses incurred by any Finance Party in connection with the maintenance or repair of any Vessel or in discharging any lien, bond or other claim relating in any way to any Vessel, and any sums which any Finance Party may pay or guarantees which they may give to procure the release of any Vessel from arrest or detention.

  17.7 Taxes The Borrower shall pay all Taxes to which all or any part of the Indebtedness or any of the Security Documents may be at any time subject and shall indemnify the Finance Parties on demand against all liabilities, costs, claims and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including but not limited to any such liabilities, costs, claims and expenses resulting from any omission to pay or delay in paying any such Taxes. The indemnity contained in this Clause shall survive the repayment of the Indebtedness.

  18 Miscellaneous

  18.1 Waivers No failure or delay on the part of any Finance Party in exercising any right, power, discretion or remedy under or pursuant to any of the Security Documents, nor any actual or alleged course of dealing between any Finance Party and any of the Security Parties, shall operate as a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any default on the part of any Security Party, unless expressly agreed to do so in writing by the Agent, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any Finance Party of any right, power, discretion or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of that right, power, discretion or remedy, or the exercise by a Finance Party of any other right, power, discretion or remedy.

  18.2 No oral variations No variation or amendment of any of the Security Documents shall be valid unless in writing and signed on behalf of the Agent and the relevant Security Party.

  18.3 Severability If at any time any provision of any of the Security Documents is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect that provision shall be severed from the remainder and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired in any way.

  18.4 Successors etc. The Security Documents shall be binding on the Security Parties and on their successors and permitted transferees and assignees, and shall inure to the benefit of the Finance Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assignees. The Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or duties under or pursuant to any of the Security Documents without the prior written consent of the Banks.

  18.5 Further assurance If any provision of the Security Documents shall be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part by reason of any present or future law or any decision of any court, or if the documents at any time held by the Finance Parties on their behalf are considered by the Banks for any reason insufficient to carry out the terms of this Agreement, then from time to time the Borrower will promptly, on demand by the Agent, execute or procure the execution of such further documents as in the reasonable opinion of the Banks are necessary to provide adequate security for the repayment of the Indebtedness.

  18.6 Other arrangements The Finance Parties may, without prejudice to their rights under or pursuant to the Security Documents, at any time and from time to time, on such terms and conditions as they may in their discretion determine, and without notice to the Borrower, grant time or other indulgence to, or compound with, any other person liable (actually or contingently) to the Finance Parties or any of them in respect of all or any part of the Indebtedness, and may release or renew negotiable instruments and take and release securities and hold funds on realisation or suspense account without affecting the liabilities of the Borrower or the rights of the Finance Parties under or pursuant to the Security Documents.

  18.7 Advisers The Borrower irrevocably authorises the Agent, at any time and from time to time during the Facility Period, to consult insurance advisers on any matters relating to the Insurances, including, without limitation, the collection of insurance claims, and from time to time to consult or retain advisers or consultants to monitor or advise on any other claims relating to the Vessels. The Borrower will provide such advisers and consultants with all information and documents which they may from time to time reasonably require and will reimburse the Agent on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the consultation or retention of such advisers or consultants.

  18.8 Delegation The Finance Parties may at any time and from time to time delegate to any person any of their rights, powers, discretions and remedies pursuant to the Security Documents, other than rights relating to actions to be taken by the Majority Banks or the Banks as a group on such terms as they may consider appropriate (including the power to sub-delegate).

  18.9 Rights etc. cumulative Every right, power, discretion and remedy conferred on the Finance Parties under or pursuant to the Security Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power, discretion or remedy to which they may at any time be entitled by law or in equity. The Finance Parties may exercise each of their rights, powers, discretions and remedies as often and in such order as they deem appropriate subject to obtaining the prior written consent of the Majority Banks. The exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any right, power, discretion or remedy shall not be interpreted as a waiver of the right to exercise any other right, power, discretion or remedy either simultaneously or subsequently.

  18.10 No enquiry The Finance Parties shall not be concerned to enquire into the powers of the Security Parties or of any person purporting to act on behalf of any of the Security Parties, even if any of the Security Parties or any such person shall have acted in excess of their powers or if their actions shall have been irregular, defective or informal, whether or not any Finance Parties had notice thereof.

  18.11 Continuing security The security constituted by the Security Documents shall be continuing and shall not be satisfied by any intermediate payment or satisfaction until the Indebtedness shall have been repaid in full and none of the Finance Parties shall be under any further actual or contingent liability to any third party in relation to the Vessels, the Qualifying Contracts, the Qualifying Contract Proceeds, the Insurances, Earnings or Requisition Compensation or any other matter referred to in the Security Documents.

  18.12 Security cumulative The security constituted by the Security Documents shall be in addition to any other security now or in the future held by the Finance Parties or any of them for or in respect of all or any part of the Indebtedness, and shall not merge with or prejudice or be prejudiced by any such security or any other contractual or legal rights of any of the Finance Parties, nor affected by any irregularity, defect or informality, or by any release, exchange or variation of any such security. Section 93 of the Law of Property Act 1925 and all provisions which the Agent considers analogous thereto under the law of any other relevant jurisdiction shall not apply to the security constituted by the Security Documents.

  18.13 Re-instatement If any Finance Party takes any steps to exercise any of its rights, powers, remedies or discretions pursuant to the Security Documents and the result shall be adverse to the Finance Parties, the Borrower and the Finance Parties shall be restored to their former positions as if no such steps had been taken.

  18.14 No liability None of the Finance Parties, nor any agent or employee of any Finance Party, nor any receiver and/or manager appointed by the Agent, shall be liable for any losses which may be incurred in or about the exercise of any of the rights, powers, discretions or remedies of the Finance Parties under or pursuant to the Security Documents nor liable as mortgagee in possession for any loss on realisation or for any neglect or default of any nature for which a mortgagee in possession might otherwise be liable unless such Finance Party’s action constitutes gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

  18.15 Rescission of payments etc. Any discharge, release or reassignment by any of the Finance Parties of any of the security constituted by, or any of the obligations of any Security Party contained in, any of the Security Documents shall be (and be deemed always to have been) void if any act (including, without limitation, any payment) as a result of which such discharge, release or reassignment was given or made is subsequently wholly or partially rescinded or avoided by operation of any law, unless such Finance Party’s action constitutes gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

  18.16 Subsequent Encumbrances If the Agent receives notice of any subsequent Encumbrance (other than any Encumbrance permitted by the terms of this Agreement) affecting any Vessel, any Qualifying Contract, or all or any part of the Qualifying Contract Proceeds, the Insurances, Earnings or Requisition Compensation, the Agent may open a new account in its books for the Borrower. If the Agent does not open a new account, then (unless the Encumbrance is permitted by the terms of this Agreement or the Agent gives written notice to the contrary to the Borrower) as from the time of receipt by the Agent of notice of such subsequent Encumbrance, all payments made to the Agent shall be treated as having been credited to a new account of the Borrower and not as having been applied in reduction of the Indebtedness.

  18.17 Releases If any Finance Party shall at any time in its discretion release any party from all or any part of any of the Security Documents or from any term, covenant, clause, condition or obligation contained in any of the Security Documents, the liability of any other party to the Security Documents shall not be varied or diminished.

  18.18 Certificates Any certificate or statement signed by an authorised signatory of the Agent purporting to show the amount of the Indebtedness (or any part of the Indebtedness) or any other amount referred to in any of the Security Documents shall, save for manifest error or on any question of law, be conclusive evidence as against the Borrower of that amount.

  18.19 Survival of representations and warranties The representations and warranties on the part of the Borrower contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution of this Agreement and the advance of the Facility or any part thereof.

  18.20 Counterparts This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be original but which shall together constitute the same instrument.

  18.21 Third Party Rights Notwithstanding the provisions of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, no term of this Agreement is enforceable by a person who is not a party to it.

  19 Law and Jurisdiction

  19.1 Governing law This Agreement shall in all respects be governed by and interpreted in accordance with English law.

  19.2 Jurisdiction For the exclusive benefit of the Finance Parties, the parties to this Agreement irrevocably agree that the courts of England are to have jurisdiction to settle any disputes which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement and that any Proceedings may be brought in those courts. The Borrower irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or in the future have to the laying of the venue of any Proceedings in any court referred to in this Clause, and any claim that those Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient or inappropriate forum.

  19.3 Alternative jurisdictions Nothing contained in this Clause shall limit the right of the Finance Parties to commence any Proceedings against the Borrower in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the commencement of any Proceedings against the Borrower in one or more jurisdictions preclude the commencement of any Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.

  19.4 Service of process Without prejudice to the right of the Finance Parties to use any other method of service permitted by law, the Borrower irrevocably agrees that any writ, notice, judgment or other legal process shall be sufficiently served on it if addressed to it and left at or sent by post to the Address for Service, and in that event shall be conclusively deemed to have been served at the time of leaving or, if posted, at 9.00 a.m. on the third Business Day after posting by prepaid first class registered post.

IN WITNESS of which the parties to this Agreement have executed this Agreement the day and year first before written.

SCHEDULE 6

Calculation of the Mandatory Cost

1 The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate the Banks for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

2 On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “ Additional Cost Rate ”) for each Bank, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Agent as a weighted average of the Banks’Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Bank in the Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

3 The Additional Cost Rate for any Bank lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Bank to the Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Bank in its notice to the Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Bank’s participation in all loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office.

4 The Additional Cost Rate for any Bank lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Agent as follows:

E x 0.01
---------- per cent. per annum.
300

  Where E is the rate of charge payable by a Bank to the Financial Services Authority under the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by the Agent as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Bank for that financial year).

5 For the purposes of this Schedule:

  (a) Eligible Liabilities and “ Special Deposits ” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;

  (b) Facility Office ” means the office notified by a Bank to the Agent in writing on or before the date it becomes a Bank as the office through which it will perform its obligations under the Agreement;

  (c) Fee Rules ” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

  (d) Fee Tariffs ” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fee Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and

  (e) Participating Member State ” means any member state of the European Communities that adopts or has adopted the euro as its lawful currency in accordance with legislation of the European Union relating to European Monetary Union;

  (f) Parties ” means any party to the Agreement, including its successors in title permitted assigns and permitted transferees; and

  (g) Tariff Base ” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

6 If requested by the Agent, each Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Bank for that financial year).

7 Each Bank shall supply any information required by the Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Bank Shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank:

  (a) the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

  (b) any other information that the Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

  Each Bank shall promptly notify the Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

8 The percentages of each Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 6 and 7 above and on the assumption that, unless the Bank notifies the Agent to the contrary, each Bank’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as in its Facility Office.

9 The Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Bank and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above is true and correct in all respects.

10 The Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Banks on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Bank based on the information provided by each Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above.

11 Any determination by the Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Bank shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

12 The Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrower and the Banks determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

  6.1 This Guarantee and Indemnity is in addition to any other security, guarantee or indemnity now or in the future held by the Banks or by the Agent in respect of the Indebtedness, whether from the Borrower, the Guarantor or any other person, and shall not merge with, prejudice or be prejudiced by any such security, guarantee or indemnity or any contractual or legal right of the Banks or of the Agent.

  6.2 Any release, settlement, discharge or arrangement relating to the liabilities of the Guarantor under this Guarantee and Indemnity shall be conditional on no payment, assurance or security received by the Banks or the Agent in respect of the Indebtedness being avoided or reduced under any law (whether English or foreign) in force from time to time relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or any (in the opinion of the Agent acting on the written instructions of the Majority Banks) analogous circumstance, and, after any such avoidance or reduction, the Agent shall be entitled to exercise all of its rights, powers, discretions and remedies under or pursuant to this Guarantee and Indemnity and/or any other rights, powers, discretions or remedies which it would otherwise have been entitled to exercise, as if no release, settlement, discharge or arrangement had taken place.

  6.3 Following the repayment of the Indebtedness, the Agent shall be entitled to retain any security which it may hold for the liabilities of the Guarantor under this Guarantee and Indemnity until the Agent is satisfied in its reasonable discretion that neither it nor any of the Banks will have to make any payment under any law referred to in Clause 6.2.

  6.4.3 the Guarantor shall not take any steps to enforce any claim which it may have against the Borrower or any Surety without the prior written consent of the Agent, acting on the written instructions of the Majority Banks, and then only on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Agent may impose.

  6.5 The Guarantor’s Liabilities shall be continuing for all purposes (including Interest) and every sum of money which may now or in the future be or become due or owing to the Agent by the Borrower (or which would have become due or owing had it not been for the bankruptcy, liquidation or insolvency of the Borrower) shall be deemed to continue due and owing to the Agent by the Borrower until such sum is actually repaid to the Agent, notwithstanding the bankruptcy, liquidation or insolvency of the Borrower.

  9.1 a copy of its annual financial statements for each financial year of the Guarantor ending during the Facility Period, containing (amongst other things) the Guarantor’s consolidated profit and loss account for, and balance sheet at the end of, each such financial year, prepared in accordance with GAAP and audited by a firm of chartered accountants (or equivalent) acceptable to the Agent, in each case within one hundred and fifty (150) days of the end of the financial year to which they relate; and

  9.2 copies of all financial and other information given by the Guarantor to its shareholders, not later than seven (7) days after that information is given to its shareholders; and

  9.3 all other information which the Agent, acting on the written instructions of the Majority Banks, may reasonably require from time to time relating to the financial position of the Guarantor; and

  9.4 on a quarterly basis, throughout the duration of this Guarantee and Indemnity, a compliance certificate, signed by an officer of the Guarantor evidencing compliance with the covenant contained in Clause 8.

10 Payments

  10.1 All amounts payable by the Guarantor under or pursuant to this Guarantee and Indemnity shall be paid to such accounts at such banks as the Agent may from time to time direct to the Guarantor in the Currency of Account in same day funds for immediate value. Payment shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the date on which the Agent receives authenticated advice of receipt, unless that advice is received by the Agent on a day other than a Business Day or at a time of day (whether on a Business Day or not) when the Agent in its discretion considers that it is impossible or impracticable for the Agent to utilise the amount received for value that same day, in which event the payment in question shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the Business Day next following the date of receipt of advice by the Agent.

  10.2 All payments to be made by the Guarantor pursuant to this Guarantee and Indemnity shall, subject only to Clause 10.3, be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of any Taxes or other deductions, withholdings, restrictions, conditions or counterclaims of any nature, and the Guarantor will not claim any equity in respect of any payment due from it to the Agent under or in relation to this Guarantee and Indemnity.

  10.3 If at any time any law requires (or is interpreted to require) the Guarantor to make any deduction or withholding from any payment, or to change the rate or manner in which any required deduction or withholding is made, the Guarantor will promptly notify the Agent and, simultaneously with making that payment, will pay to the Agent whatever additional amount (after taking into account any additional Taxes on, or deductions or withholdings from, or restrictions or conditions on, that additional amount) is necessary to ensure that, after making the deduction or withholding, the Agent receives a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no deduction or withholding been made.

  10.4 If at any time the Guarantor is required by law to make any deduction or withholding from any payment to be made by it pursuant to this Guarantee and Indemnity, the Guarantor will pay the amount required to be deducted or withheld to the relevant authority within the time allowed under the applicable law and will, no later than thirty days after making that payment, deliver to the Agent an original receipt issued by the relevant authority, or other evidence acceptable to the Agent, evidencing the payment to that authority of all amounts required to be deducted or withheld. If the Guarantor makes any deduction or withholding from any payment under or pursuant to this Guarantee and Indemnity, and a Bank subsequently receives a refund or allowance from any tax authority which that Bank at its sole discretion identifies as being referable to that deduction or withholding, the Agent shall take all reasonable steps to procure that the Bank shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, pay to the Guarantor an amount equal to the amount of the refund or allowance received, if and to the extent that it may do so without prejudicing its right to retain that refund or allowance and without putting itself in any worse financial position than that in which it would have been had the deduction or withholding not been required to have been made. Nothing in this Clause shall be interpreted as imposing any obligation on any Bank unless requested by the Guarantor to apply for any refund or allowance nor as restricting in any way the manner in which any Bank organises its tax affairs, nor as imposing on any Bank any obligation to disclose to the Guarantor any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations. All costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in obtaining or seeking to obtain a refund or allowance from any tax authority pursuant to this Clause shall be for the Guarantor’s account.

  10.5 Interest will be payable both before and after judgement on a daily basis and on the basis of a 360 day year and compounded at such intervals as the Agent shall in its discretion determine.

11 Currency

  11.1 The Guarantor's liability under this Guarantee and Indemnity is to discharge the Indebtedness in the Currency of Account.

  11.2 If at any time the Agent receives (including by way of set off) any payment by or on behalf of the Guarantor in a currency other than the Currency of Account, that payment shall take effect as a payment to the Agent of the amount in the Currency of Account which the Agent is able to purchase (after deduction of any relevant costs) with the amount of the payment so received in accordance with its usual practice.

  11.3 To the extent that any payment to the Agent (whether by the Guarantor or any other person and whether under any judgement or court order or otherwise) in a currency other than the Currency of Account shall on actual conversion into the Currency of Account fall short of the relevant liability of the Borrower expressed in the Currency of Account then the Guarantor as a separate and independent obligation will indemnify the Agent against the shortfall.

12 Appropriation

  12.1 The Guarantor irrevocably authorises the Agent to apply all sums which the Agent may receive under or in connection with this Guarantee and Indemnity in or towards satisfaction, or by way of retention on account, of the Indebtedness, in such manner as the Agent may in its discretion determine.

  12.2 The Agent may place any money received by it under or in connection with this Guarantee and Indemnity to the credit of a suspense account on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Agent may in its discretion determine for so long as the Agent thinks fit without any obligation in the meantime to apply that money in or towards discharge of the Indebtedness, and, despite such payment, the Agent may claim against the Borrower or any Surety or prove in the bankruptcy, liquidation or insolvency of the Borrower or any Surety for the whole of the Indebtedness at the date of the Agent’s demand for payment pursuant to this Guarantee and Indemnity, together with Interest and all commission, charges and expenses accruing subsequently.

13 Communications

  The provisions of clause 16 of the Loan Agreement shall (mutatis mutandis) apply to this Guarantee and Indemnity as if it were set out in full with references to this Guarantee and Indemnity substituted for references to the Loan Agreement, and as if references in that clause to the Borrower were references to the Guarantor.

14 Law and Jurisdiction

  14.1 This Guarantee and Indemnity shall in all respects be governed by and interpreted in accordance with English law.

  14.2 For the exclusive benefit of the Agent, the Guarantor irrevocably agrees that the courts of England are to have jurisdiction to settle any disputes which may arise out of or in connection with this Guarantee and Indemnity and that any Proceedings may be brought in those courts.

  14.3 Nothing contained in this Clause shall limit the right of the Agent to commence any Proceedings against the Guarantor in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the commencement of any Proceedings against the Guarantor in one or more jurisdictions preclude the commencement of any Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.

  14.4 The Guarantor irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or in the future have to the laying of the venue of any Proceedings in any court referred to in this Clause and any claim that those Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient or inappropriate forum, and irrevocably agrees that a judgement in any Proceedings commenced in any such court shall be conclusive and binding on it and may be enforced in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

  14.5 Without prejudice to the right of the Agent to use any other method of service permitted by law, the Guarantor irrevocably agrees that any writ, notice, judgement or other legal process shall be sufficiently served on it if addressed to the Guarantor and left at or sent by post to the Address for Service, and in that event shall be conclusively deemed to have been served at the time of leaving or, if posted, at 9.00 a.m. on the Business Day after posting by prepaid first class post.

15 Miscellaneous

  15.1 The Guarantor agrees that it is, and will throughout the Facility Period remain, a principal debtor in respect of the Guarantor’s Liabilities and not a surety for any Surety.

  15.2 No failure or delay on the part of the Agent in exercising any right, power, discretion or remedy under or pursuant to this Guarantee and Indemnity nor any actual or alleged course of dealing between the Agent or any of the Banks and the Guarantor shall operate as a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any default on the part of the Guarantor, unless expressly agreed to do so in writing by the Agent, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Agent of any right, power, discretion or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of that right, power, discretion or remedy or the exercise by the Agent of any other right, power, discretion or remedy.

  15.3 If at any time any provision of this Guarantee and Indemnity is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect that provision shall be severed from the remainder and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired in any way.

  15.4 This Guarantee and Indemnity shall be binding on the Guarantor and on its successors and permitted assignees and transferees, and shall inure to the benefit of the Agent and the Banks and their respective successors, transferees and assignees. The Guarantor may not assign nor transfer any of its rights (if any) or obligations under or pursuant to this Guarantee and Indemnity without the prior written consent of the Banks.

  15.5 If any provision of this Guarantee and Indemnity shall be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part by reason of any present or future law or any decision of any court, or if the documents at any time held by the Agent are considered by the Agent for any reason insufficient to carry out the terms of this Guarantee and Indemnity, then from time to time the Guarantor will promptly, on demand by the Agent, execute or procure the execution of such further documents as in the opinion of the Agent are necessary to provide an adequate guarantee and indemnity for the repayment of the Indebtedness.

  15.6 Any certificate or statement signed by an authorised signatory of the Agent purporting to show the amount of the Indebtedness or of the Guarantor’s Liabilities (or any part of any of them) or any other amount referred to in any of the Security Documents shall, save for manifest error or on any question of law, be conclusive evidence as against the Guarantor of that amount.

  15.7 The representations and warranties on the part of the Guarantor contained in this Guarantee and Indemnity shall survive the execution of this Guarantee and Indemnity.

  15.8 This Guarantee and Indemnity may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be original but which shall together constitute the same instrument.

  15.9 This Guarantee and Indemnity constitutes the entire agreement between the Agent, the Banks and the Guarantor in relation to its subject matter, and no amendment or variation of the terms of this Guarantee and Indemnity shall be valid unless in writing and signed on behalf of the Guarantor and the Agent.

  15.10 The Agent and the Banks may continue the account(s) of the Borrower or open one or more new accounts for the Borrower notwithstanding demand under this Guarantee and Indemnity, and the Guarantor’s liability at the date of demand shall not be released or affected by any subsequent payment into or out of any of the Borrower’s accounts with the Agent or any of the Banks.
