SUPPLEMENTAL TO  a Secured Loan Facility Agreement dated 5 November 2003 (the “Junior Loan Agreement”) made between the Junior Borrower, the Banks, the Paying Agent,

 



 

the Security Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Co-Arrangers and the Owners on the terms and subject to the conditions of which each of the Banks agreed to advance to the Junior Borrower its respective Commitment of an aggregate amount of a term loan not exceeding fifty four million euro (€54,000,000) in order to assist the Junior Borrower with additional working capital (the Junior Loan”).

 

WHEREAS:-

 

(A)          The Action Plan of Silja Oy AB (the “Senior Borrower”), defined below, will involve: (1) the sale of its non-core Senior Loan Agreement vessels and will lead to a reduction in its income level; and (2) reconstruction costs.  The Senior Borrower considers that the Action Plan will necessitate amendment of certain of the financial covenants set out in clause 12.3.11 of the Senior Loan Agreement. The Senior Borrower has requested that the Senior Loan Agreement be amended to accomplish this. The Junior Loan Agreement will be amended to reflect certain modifications to the Senior Loan Agreement.
