Appendix 1

LIBOR ADJUSTMENT OF THE CHARTER RATE

The Cash Element of the Charter Hire is subject to an adjustment based on LIBOR. The LIBOR reflected in the Charter Hire is set at 0 basis point p.a., and the Cash Element of the Charter Hire will be adjusted upwards given that the Actual Fixed LIBOR is above 0 basis points p.a.

Actual Fixed LIBOR in basis points X Average Lease Outstanding / 365 = Adjustment in day rate in USD.

The "Actual Fixed LIBOR" will be set for the next 3 months period based on the USD 3 Months LIBOR fixed 15 banking days prior to each 3 Month Period of each LIBOR Year, provided that the Actual Fixed LIBOR shall be set for the next 12 months period based on the USD 12 Months LIBOR fixed at the time of notification if opted for by written notice of the Charterers at the latest 20 banking days prior to the next 3 Month Period.

"Average Lease Outstanding" means for the relevant year, the following figure:

"Screen Rate" means the London interbank offered rate administered by the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (or any other person which takes over the administration of that rate) for USD for the relevant period, displayed on pages LIBOR01 or LIBOR02 of the Reuters screen (or any replacement Reuters page which displays that rate), or such other information service which publishes that rate from time to time in place of Reuters. If such page or service ceases to be available, the Owner may specify another page or service displaying the relevant rate after consultation with the Charterer.

“USD 3 Months LIBOR” means the applicable Screen Rate, if the applicable Screen Rate is below 0 USD 3 Months Libor will be deemed to be 0.

“USD 12 Months LIBOR” means the applicable Screen Rate, if the applicable Screen Rate is below 0 USD 12 Months Libor will be deemed to be 0.
