Each Note shall have an executed Notation of Guarantee from each of the Guarantors existing on the Issue Date endorsed thereon substantially in the form of Exhibit E.

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

-41-

Notes offered and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of a single permanent global Note in registered form substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “Regulation S Global Note”; and together with the 144A Global Note, the “Initial Global Notes”), deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, duly executed by each Co-Issuer (and having an executed Notation of Guarantee from each of the Guarantors existing on the Issue Date endorsed thereon) and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided and shall bear the legends set forth in Exhibit B.

Notes issued in exchange for interests in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.16 may be issued in the form of permanent certificated Notes in registered form in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A and bearing the applicable legends, if any, (the “Physical Notes”).

Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.02, 4.10 and 4.12, the Co-Issuers may issue, from time to time, Additional Notes under this Indenture which shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date (in each case, other than with respect to the date of issuance, offering price, amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and repurchase or redemption provisions that may be applicable to the Additional Notes at the Company’s sole election), as the case may be. Any Additional Notes shall be part of the same class for all purposes of this Indenture as the Notes being issued on the Issue Date and will vote and consent on all matters as one class with the Notes being issued on the Issue Date, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions, Change of Control Offers and Asset Sale Offers, Collateral Sale Offers and Event of Loss Offers.

-42-

SECTION 2.02. Execution, Authentication and Denomination; Additional Notes.

One Officer of each Co-Issuer (who shall have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate actions) shall sign the Notes for such Co-Issuer by manual, facsimile or other electronic signature. One Officer of a Guarantor (who shall have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate actions) shall sign the Notation of Guarantee for such Guarantor by manual, facsimile or other electronic signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note or Notation of Guarantee, as the case may be, was an Officer at the time of such execution but no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.

A Note (and the Notations of Guarantees in respect thereof) shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly and validly authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee shall authenticate (i) on the Issue Date, Notes for original issue in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $500.0 million (the “Initial Notes”) and (ii) additional Notes (the “Additional Notes”) having identical terms and conditions to the Initial Notes, except for issue date, issue price and first Interest Payment Date, in an unlimited amount (so long as not otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Indenture, including, without limitation, Sections 4.10 and 4.12), in each case upon a written order of the Co-Issuers in the form of a certificate of an Officer of each Co-Issuer (an “Authentication Order”). Each such Authentication Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated, whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or Additional Notes and whether the Notes are to be issued as certificated Notes or Global Notes or such other information as the Trustee may reasonably request.

All Notes shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided, that if any Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Additional Notes will have a separate “CUSIP” or “ISIN” number; and, provided, further, that with respect to any issuance of Additional Notes, all or any portion of the proceeds of the issuance of such Additional Notes (together with other funds available to the Company, if applicable) may at the Company’s sole election be deposited with the Trustee or its designee as Segregated Funds pursuant to customary arrangements (determined in good faith by the Company) and in connection therewith held by the Trustee (or its designee) to secure such Additional Notes (without any requirement that any other then outstanding Notes are also secured) (“Segregated Funds”) until such time as such Segregated Funds are released (in whole or in part) to the Company and/or applied to redeem or prepay such Additional Notes, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the arrangements governing the issuance of such Additional Notes, pursuant to Section 3.07. None of the Initial Notes or any Additional Notes shall have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any manner, except that Holders of Additional Notes may separately vote or consent with respect to matters relating solely to the Additional Notes. The Additional Notes shall bear any legend required by applicable law.

-43-

If the Company makes the election described in the second proviso of the preceding paragraph in connection with the issuance of Additional Notes, it shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee two Business Days before depositing Segregated Funds with the Trustee (unless a shorter time period is agreed to by the Trustee), stating that (1) the Company elects to deposit with the Trustee all or any portion of the proceeds from an issuance of Additional Notes (together with other funds available to the Company, if applicable) as Segregated Funds pursuant to customary arrangements (determined in good faith by the Company) pursuant to this Section 2.02, (2) the Trustee is directed to hold such funds as Segregated Funds under this Section 2.02, (3) such election is authorized by this Indenture and (4) all conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Co-Issuers to authenticate Notes. Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Co-Issuers and Affiliates of the Co-Issuers. The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Notes under this Indenture if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability.

The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

In case a Co-Issuer, pursuant to and in accordance with Article Five, shall, in one or more related transactions, be consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all the assets of such Co-Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any Person, and the surviving Person resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger or into which such Co-Issuer shall have been merged, or the surviving Person which shall have participated in the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have assumed all of the obligations of such Co-Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee in accordance with Article Five (such Person, the “Surviving Entity”), any of the Global Notes authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition may, from time to time, at the request of the Surviving Entity, be exchanged for other Global Notes executed in the name of the Surviving Entity with only such changes in phraseology as may be appropriate to reflect the identity of the Surviving Entity, but otherwise in substance of like tenor, terms and conditions in all respects as the Global Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon the request of the Surviving Entity, shall authenticate and deliver Global Notes as specified in such request for the purpose of such exchange. If Global Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a Surviving Entity pursuant to this Section 2.02 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Notes, such Surviving Entity, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Notes at the time outstanding for Notes authenticated and delivered in such new name.

-44-

SECTION 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Co-Issuers shall maintain or cause to be maintained an office or agency in the United States where (a) Notes may be presented for payment or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), (b) Notes may, subject to Section 2 of the Notes, be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”) and (c) notices and demands to or upon the Co-Issuers in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Co-Issuers may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve either Co-Issuer of its obligation to maintain or cause to be maintained an office or agency in the United States, for such purposes. At the option of the Co-Issuers, the payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that for Holders owning at least $100,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes that have given wire transfer instructions to the Co-Issuers at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the applicable payment date, the Co-Issuers shall make all payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof. The Company or any Subsidiary of the Company may act as Registrar or Paying Agent, except that for the purposes of Article Eight, neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company shall act as Paying Agent. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Co-Issuers, upon notice to the Trustee, may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Co-Issuers initially appoint the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent until such time as the Trustee has resigned or a successor has been appointed.

To the extent necessary, the Co-Issuers shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, which agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Co-Issuers shall notify the Trustee, in advance, of the name and address of any such Agent. If the Co-Issuers fail to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.

SECTION 2.04. Paying Agent To Hold Assets in Trust.

The Co-Issuers shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee or the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to agree in writing that each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all assets held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (whether such assets have been distributed to it by the Co-Issuers or any other obligor on the Notes), and shall notify the Trustee of any Default by the Co-Issuers (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. The Co-Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and account for any assets disbursed and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Payment Default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and to account for any assets distributed. Upon distribution to the Trustee of all assets that shall have been delivered by the Co-Issuers to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of

-45-

the Company) shall have no further liability for such assets. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Co-Issuers, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

SECTION 2.05. Holder Lists.

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act §312(a) as if the Trust Indenture Act applied to this Indenture. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Co-Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven (7) Business Days prior to each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Holders, which list may be conclusively relied upon by the Trustee.

SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange.

Subject to Sections 2.15 and 2.16, when Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer of such Notes or to exchange such Notes for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Co-Issuers and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Co-Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Co-Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Co-Issuers shall not be required and, without the prior written consent of the Co-Issuers, the Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note (i) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, (ii) selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article Three, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part, (iii) that has been tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in a Change of Control Offer, and (iv) beginning at the opening of business on any Record Date and ending on the close of business on the related Interest Payment Date.

Any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Notes may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) in accordance with the applicable legends thereon, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Note shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry system.

-46-

SECTION 2.07. Replacement Notes.

If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Co-Issuers shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. Such Holder must provide evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking, and an indemnity bond, surety or other indemnity, sufficient in the judgment of the Co-Issuers to protect the Co-Issuers, the Trustee or any Agent and in the judgment of the Trustee to protect the Trustee and any Agent, from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Co-Issuers and the Trustee may charge such Holder for their respective reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a Note pursuant to this Section 2.07, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Co-Issuers and every replacement Notation of Guarantee shall constitute an additional obligation of the Guarantor thereof.

SECTION 2.08. Outstanding Notes.

Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because a Co-Issuer, a Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates holds the Note (subject to the provisions of Section 2.09).

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Co-Issuers and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receive written proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.07.

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest ceases to accrue thereon. If on a Redemption Date or the Maturity Date the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate thereof) holds U.S. Legal Tender or non-callable U.S. Government Securities sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest due on the Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest ceases to accrue thereon.

SECTION 2.09. Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Co-Issuers or any of their Affiliates shall be disregarded, except that, for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in conclusively relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be disregarded.

-47-

SECTION 2.10. Temporary Notes.

Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Co-Issuers may prepare and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an authentication order, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Co-Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Co-Issuers shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes in equal principal amounts. Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Notes are represented by a Global Note, such Global Note may be in typewritten form.

SECTION 2.11. Cancellation.

A Co-Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary), and no one else, shall cancel and, at the written direction of the Co-Issuers, shall dispose of all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in accordance with its customary procedures. Subject to Section 2.07, the Co-Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (which shall not prohibit the Co-Issuers from issuing any Additional Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture). If a Co-Issuer or any Guarantor shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.11.

SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest.

If the Co-Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Notes, they shall pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, in any lawful manner, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. The Co-Issuers may pay the defaulted interest to the persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be the fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Co-Issuers for the payment of defaulted interest or the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day. At least 15 days before any such subsequent special record date, the Co-Issuers or, at the Co-Issuers’ request, the Trustee, shall deliver electronically or mail to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid.

SECTION 2.13. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.

The Co-Issuers in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers, and if so, the Trustee shall use the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers

-48-

printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers; provided further that if any Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Additional Notes will have a separate “CUSIP” or “ISIN” number. The Co-Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers.

SECTION 2.14. Deposit of Moneys.

Subject to Section 2 of the Notes, prior to 12:00 p.m. New York City time on each Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date, Asset Sale Payment Date, Collateral Sale Payment Date and Event of Loss Payment Date, the Co-Issuers shall have deposited with the Paying Agent (or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable) in immediately available funds money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date, Asset Sale Payment Date, Collateral Sale Payment Date and Event of Loss Payment Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date, Asset Sale Payment Date, Collateral Sale Payment Date and Event of Loss Payment Date, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.15. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.

(a) The Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depository and (iii) bear legends as set forth in Exhibit B, as applicable.

Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Participants”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Note, and the Depository may be treated by the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and any agent of the Co-Issuers or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Co-Issuers, the Trustee or any agent of the Co-Issuers or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and Participants, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

(b) Transfers of Global Notes shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depository, its successors and their respective nominees. Interests of Beneficial Owners in the Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged for Physical Notes in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository and the provisions of Section 2.16. In addition, Physical Notes shall be transferred to all Beneficial Owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in Global Notes if (i) (a) the Depository notifies the Co-Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to act as Depository for any Global Note or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and the Co-Issuers so notify the Trustee in writing and a successor Depository is not appointed by the Co-Issuers within 90 days of such notice or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from

-49-

any owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note to issue Physical Notes.

Each notice for redemption shall identify the Notes (including the CUSIP or ISIN number) to be redeemed and shall state:

(1) the Redemption Date;

The notice, if delivered electronically or mailed in the manner provided herein, shall be presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice.

SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is delivered electronically or mailed in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any; provided that in connection with any redemption of Notes (including a redemption with funds in an amount not exceeding the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings), any such redemption may, in the Co-Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent (including, if applicable, the completion of such Equity Offering). In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Co-Issuers’ discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all of such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed. If any such condition precedent has not been satisfied, the Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee and the Holders prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. Upon receipt of such notice, the notice of redemption shall be rescinded or delayed, and the redemption of the Notes shall be rescinded or delayed as provided in such notice. Upon receipt from and by request of the company the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder in the same manner in which the

On and after the Redemption Date, interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption unless the Co-Issuers shall have not complied with their respective obligations pursuant to Section 3.05 or any conditions precedent are not satisfied. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.

SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.

On or before 12:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date, the Co-Issuers shall deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to pay the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, of all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Co-Issuers any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Co-Issuers in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the Redemption Price (including accrued and unpaid interest, if any) for all Notes to be redeemed. In addition, so long as no payment Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all money, if any, earned on funds held by the Paying Agent shall be remitted to the Co-Issuers to the extent not applied to payments on the Notes.

SECTION 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part.

The Company shall be permitted to apply Segregated Funds (or any portion thereof) to such redemption or repurchase. To the extent that any portion of Segregated Funds did not constitute proceeds from an issuance of Additional Notes, the Company shall be entitled to a release of such other funds in accordance with the terms of the arrangements governing the issuance of such Additional Notes.

If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not validly withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Co-Issuers, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Co-Issuers as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Co-Issuers or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase, pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of redemption.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company shall not issue any shares of Disqualified Stock and the Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock; provided, however, that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, and any Guarantor may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), issue shares of Disqualified Stock or issue shares of preferred stock, if (i) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or preferred stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period; and (ii) such Indebtedness (other than secured Indebtedness), Disqualified Stock or preferred stock shall not have a scheduled maturity date or any scheduled principal payments or be subject to any mandatory redemption, prepayment or sinking fund (except for customary change of control provisions and customary mandatory redemptions or prepayments with proceeds of permitted refinancings thereof or equity issuances and customary asset sale provisions that permit application of the applicable proceeds to the payment of the Notes) due prior to the date that is 365 days after the Maturity Date; provided, further, that Logistics Finance may incur Indebtedness in connection with serving as a co-issuer, co-obligor or guarantor of Indebtedness incurred by the Company or any Guarantor that is otherwise permitted by this Section 4.10.

(6) the incurrence of Indebtedness by the Company owed to a Restricted Subsidiary and Indebtedness by any Restricted Subsidiary owed to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that upon any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or such Indebtedness being owed to any Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, shall be deemed to have incurred Indebtedness not permitted by this clause (6);

(7) the issuance by any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock; provided, however, that:

(8) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Hedging Obligations;

-63-

(9) the guarantee by a Co-Issuer or any Guarantor of Indebtedness of a Co-Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.10; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is contractually subordinated to the Notes or a Guarantee, then the guarantee shall be contractually subordinated to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;

(10) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of workers’ compensation claims, unemployment insurance, health, disability and other employee benefits or property, casualty or liability insurance, self-insurance obligations, bankers’ acceptances, or performance, completion, bid, appeal and surety bonds, in each case, in the ordinary course of business;

(15) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred in respect of this clause (15), in an amount equal to $35.0 million (“Pari Passu Notes Indebtedness”); provided that any Indebtedness (including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness) incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to this clause (15) shall be deemed to be Indebtedness secured by a Lien on the Collateral that ranks pari passu with the Lien on the Collateral securing the Notes whether or not so secured.

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.10, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (15) of Section 4.10(b), or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.10(a), the Company, in its sole discretion, may divide, classify and/or reclassify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and preferred stock (or any portion thereof) on the date of its incurrence, or later redivide

-64-

and/or reclassify, all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.10. Indebtedness under any Credit Facilities outstanding on the Issue Date or any amounts committed to for Vessels under construction as of the Issue Date shall be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by Section 4.10(b)(4) but thereafter may be reclassified in any manner that complies with this Section 4.10.

(d) The accrual of interest, the accrual of dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock or preferred stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, as the case may be, shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock for purposes of this Section 4.10; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued.

(e) The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be:

(1) the accreted value of such Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

(2) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

(3) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

(A) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

(B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person that is secured by such assets.

(f) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.10, (i) Acquired Debt shall be deemed to have been incurred by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, at the time an acquired Person becomes such a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (or is merged into the Company or such a Restricted Subsidiary) or at the time of the acquisition of assets, as the case may be, (ii) the maximum amount of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies and (iii) the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness shall be counted only once and any obligations arising under any guarantee, Lien, letter of credit or similar instrument supporting such Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under this Section 4.10 shall not be double counted.

-65-

(g) For purposes of determining compliance of any non-U.S. dollar-denominated Indebtedness with this Section 4.10, the amount outstanding under any U.S. dollar equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall at all times be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided, however, that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in the same or different currency, such refinancing shall be calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of the initial incurrence of Indebtedness in respect thereof (which may reflect multiple refinancings in which case the time of incurrence of the initial Indebtedness shall be applicable), so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus any costs or premiums incurred in connection with such refinancing.

(h) For purposes of the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio in connection with the incurrence of any Indebtedness pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4.10, the Company may elect to treat all or any portion of the commitment under any Indebtedness which is to be incurred, as being incurred as of the applicable date of determination and any subsequent incurrence of Indebtedness under such commitment that was so treated shall not be deemed, for purposes of this calculation, to be an incurrence of additional Indebtedness; provided that if the Company have made such an election, in connection with the calculation of any ratio or basket for any purpose under this Indenture on or following such date until terminated, such calculation shall include the portion of the Indebtedness which has been deemed incurred, as of the applicable date of determination.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.10, a Restricted Subsidiary that is formed or organized under the laws of the Republic of Paraguay shall not be permitted to directly incur Indebtedness in excess of $20.0 million at any one time outstanding which, to the knowledge of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, is or would be initially owed to a resident of the Republic of Paraguay. For clarity purposes, the foregoing provision will not limit the ability of such Restricted Subsidiary to guarantee any Indebtedness that is otherwise permitted by this Section 4.10.

SECTION 4.11. Limitations on Restricted Payments.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

SECTION 4.12. Limitations on Liens.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or assume any Lien that secures obligations under any Indebtedness or any related guarantee, on any asset of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, whether owned on the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens, unless contemporaneously therewith:

(2) in the case of any Lien securing an obligation that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or a Guarantee, effective provision is made to secure the Notes or such Guarantee, as the case may be, with a Lien on the same collateral that is prior to the Lien securing such subordinated obligation, in each case, for so long as such obligation is secured by such Lien (such Lien, the “Primary Lien”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Co-Issuers will not and will not permit any Guarantor to, create, incur or assume any Lien (other than in favor of the Trustee or Collateral Trustee for their benefit and the benefit of the Holders) upon any of the Collateral other than Permitted Liens (subject to the limitations set forth in the definition thereof) and those Liens permitted by the Security Documents and, further, the Company will not and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or assume any Lien on any Capital Stock, Intercompany Debt or other securities issued by any Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor or any Pledged LNG Equity other than in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of Trustee and the Holders.

-71-

(b) Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to Section 4.12(a) shall automatically and unconditionally be released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Primary Lien, without any further action on the part of any Person (other than notice of such release to the Collateral Trustee, but the failure to deliver such notice shall not affect such release).

SECTION 4.13. Limitations on Asset Sales.

(I) With respect to all Asset Sales not involving Collateral:

(2) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.

(b) For purposes of Section 4.13(I)(a), each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:

(2) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee or any other Person on account of such Asset Sale that are, within 180 days of the Asset Sale, converted, sold or exchanged by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion, sale or exchange;

(3) the Fair Market Value of (i) any assets (other than securities and other than assets that are classified as current assets under GAAP) received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to be used by it in a Permitted Business (including, without limitation, Vessels and Related Business Assets), (ii) Capital Stock in a Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary or in a Person engaged in a Permitted Business that shall become a Restricted Subsidiary immediately upon the acquisition of such Person by the Company or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii);

-72-

(4) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this Section 4.13(I)(b) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $50.0 million and (y) 5.5% of Total Assets of the Company at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value; and

(5) any Marketable Securities received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having a Fair Market Value not to exceed 25% of the aggregate consideration received by the Company in such Asset Sale.

(4) acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business (including, without limitation, Vessels and Related Business Assets);

(5) repay unsecured senior Indebtedness of the Co-Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto); provided that if the Co-Issuers or any Guarantor shall so reduce senior Indebtedness, the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes (A) by redeeming the Notes as provided under Section 3.07 or (B) by making an Asset Sale Offer in accordance with the provisions described herein; and/or

(6) any combination of the transactions permitted by the foregoing clauses (1) through (5).

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce outstanding Indebtedness or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

-73-

(d) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales involving assets that do not constitute Collateral that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.13(I)(c) shall constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $30.0 million, the Co-Issuers shall make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders and all holders of other pari passu Indebtedness containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be required to be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds (the “Excess Proceeds Payment Amount”). The offer price for the Notes in any Asset Sale Offer shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to (but excluding) the date of purchase (the “Asset Sale Offered Price”), and shall be payable in cash, and the offer or redemption price for such pari passu Indebtedness shall be as set forth in the related documentation governing such Indebtedness. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, such Excess Proceeds may be used for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Co-Issuers shall select the Notes and the Co-Issuers or the agent for such other pari passu Indebtedness shall select such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis (subject to adjustments to maintain the authorized denominations for the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness). Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. The Co-Issuers may elect to satisfy their obligations to make an Asset Sale Offer prior to the expiration of the relevant period or with respect to Excess Proceeds of $30.0 million or less.

(e) Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Co-Issuers shall deliver electronically or send, or cause to be delivered electronically or sent, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and to each Holder at its registered address. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holder to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. Any Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state:

(1) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.13(I) and that, to the extent lawful, all Notes tendered and not withdrawn shall be accepted for payment (unless prorated);

(2) the Excess Proceeds Payment Amount, the Asset Sale Offered Price, and the date on which Notes tendered and accepted for payment shall be purchased, which date shall be at least 30 days and not later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or delivered electronically (the “Asset Sale Payment Date”);

(3) that any Notes not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms thereof;

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Asset Sale Payment Date;

-74-

(5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a depository, if appointed by the Company, or the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Asset Sale Payment Date;

(6) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Co-Issuers, the Depository or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than two Business Days prior to the Asset Sale Payment Date, a notice setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased;

(7) that if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Excess Proceeds Payment Amount, the Co-Issuers shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Co-Issuers so that only Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased); and

(8) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry).

(f) On the Asset Sale Payment Date, the Co-Issuers shall, to the extent lawful: (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, subject to pro ration if the aggregate Notes tendered exceed the Excess Proceeds Payment Amount allocable to the Notes; (2) deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender equal to the lesser of the Excess Proceeds Payment Amount allocable to the Notes and the amount sufficient to pay the Asset Sale Offered Price in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being repurchased by the Co-Issuers. The Co-Issuers shall inform the Holders of the results of the Asset Sale Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Asset Sale Payment Date.

(g) The applicable Paying Agent shall promptly mail or pay by wire transfer to each Holder whose Notes have been properly tendered the Asset Sale Offered Price for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate pursuant to an Authentication Order and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note shall be in minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. So long as no payment Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and to the extent not applied to make payments on the Notes, the Paying Agent shall return to the Co-Issuers any cash that remains unclaimed, together with interest, if any, thereon, held by them for the payment of the Asset Sale Offered Price.

-75-

However, if the Asset Sale Payment Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

(h) The Co-Issuers shall comply with the requirements of any securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.13, the Co-Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Section 4.13 by virtue of such compliance.

(II) With respect to all Asset Sales involving Collateral:

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale involving Collateral unless:

(1) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (for the avoidance of doubt, the Fair Market Value may be determined at the time a contract is entered into for an Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests sold or otherwise disposed of;

(2) in the case of a Mortgaged Vessel, such Asset Sale is either of (i) the Company’s or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary’s entire interest in the applicable Mortgaged Vessel (the “Sold Mortgaged Vessel”) together with the applicable Charters, freights and hires, insurance and related agreements (collectively, the “Related Agreements”); provided that the Company may elect to sell only the Sold Mortgaged Vessel and retain all or any portion of the Related Agreements, provided that if any such Related Agreements are transferred to a Subsidiary that is not a Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor, then the Company or such Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor shall receive cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Related Agreement which it shall immediately deliver to the Collateral Trustee, which amounts shall constitute Trust Monies hereunder or (ii) all the Capital Stock of the Restricted Subsidiary that owns such Mortgaged Vessel and Related Business Assets;

(3) the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary consists entirely of cash or Cash Equivalents in an amount that is not less than the Fair Market Value of the Collateral that is the subject of such Asset Sale;

(4) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(5) such Asset Sale is made in compliance with the provisions described in Section 11.04.

(b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale involving Collateral, the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary shall apply such Net Proceeds to:

-76-

(1) in the case of Mortgaged Vessel Collateral, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, purchase one or more Qualified Vessels (and to make any Permitted Repairs with respect thereto) and make such Qualified Vessel(s) subject to the Lien of this Indenture and the applicable Security Documents in accordance with the provisions thereof described under Section 11.04 and Section 11.09;

(2) either (A) make a Collateral Sale Offer in accordance with the provisions described herein, (B) at the option of the Company, redeem Notes as provided in Section 3.07; and/or

(3) in the case of an Asset Sale involving Mortgaged Vessel Collateral, any combination of the transactions permitted by the foregoing clauses (1) and (2).

(c) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales involving Collateral that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.13(II)(b) will constitute “Excess Collateral Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds exceeds $30.0 million, the Co-Issuers will make an offer (a “Collateral Sale Offer”) to all Holders to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be required to be purchased out of the Excess Collateral Proceeds (the “Excess Collateral Proceeds Payment Amount”). The offer price for the Notes in any Collateral Sale Offer shall be equal to 100% of principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Collateral Sale Offered Price”), and shall be payable in cash. If any Excess Collateral Proceeds remain after consummation of a Collateral Sale Offer, those Excess Collateral Proceeds shall be retained as Trust Monies. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered into such Collateral Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds, the Company will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (subject to adjustments to maintain the authorized denominations of the Notes). Upon completion of each Collateral Sale Offer (each such date, a “Collateral Sale Payment Date”), the amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds shall be reset at zero. The Co-Issuers may elect to satisfy their obligations to make a Collateral Sale Offer prior to expiration of the relevant period or with respect to Excess Collateral Proceeds of $30.0 million or less.

(d) Whenever Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale involving Collateral are received by the Co-Issuers, such Net Proceeds shall be retained by the Collateral Trustee as Trust Monies constituting Collateral subject to disposition as provided in this Section 4.13(II) or as provided in Sections 11.04 and 12.02. At the written direction of the Co-Issuers, such Net Proceeds may be invested by the Collateral Trustee in Cash Equivalents denominated in U.S. Dollars in which the security interest of the Collateral Trustee can be and remain perfected.

(e) Upon the commencement of a Collateral Sale Offer, the Co-Issuers shall deliver electronically or send, or cause to be delivered electronically or sent, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and to each Holder at is registered address. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holder to tender Notes pursuant to the Collateral Sale Offer. Any Collateral Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Collateral Sale Offer, shall state:

(1) that the Collateral Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.13(II) and that, to the extent lawful, all Notes tendered and not withdrawn shall be accepted for payment (unless prorated);

-77-

(2) the Excess Collateral Proceeds Payment Amount, the Collateral Sale Offered Price, and the date on which Notes tendered and accepted for payment shall be purchased, which date shall be at least 30 days and not later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or delivered electronically (the “Collateral Sale Payment Date”);

(3) that any Notes not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms thereof;

(4) that, unless the Co-Issuers default in making such payment, any Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Collateral Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Collateral Sale Payment Date;

(5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to any Collateral Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Co-Issuers, a depository, if appointed by the Co-Issuers, or the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days before the Collateral Sale Payment Date;

(6) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Co-Issuers, the Depository or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than two Business Days prior to the Collateral Sale Payment Date, a notice setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased;

(7) that if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Excess Collateral Proceeds Payment Amount, the Co-Issuers shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Co-Issuers so that only Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased); and

(8) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry).

(f) On the Collateral Sale Payment Date, the Co-Issuers shall, to the extent lawful: (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Collateral Sale Offer, subject to pro ration if the aggregate Notes tendered exceed the Excess Collateral Proceeds Payment Amount allocable to the Notes; (2) deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender equal to the lesser of the Excess Collateral Proceeds Payment Amount allocable to the Notes and the amount sufficient to pay the Collateral Sale Offered Price in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being repurchased by the Co-Issuers. The Co-Issuers shall inform the Holders of the results of the Collateral Sale Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Collateral Sale Payment Date.

-78-

(g) The applicable Paying Agent shall promptly mail or pay by wire transfer to each Holder whose Notes have been properly tendered the Collateral Sale Offered Price for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate pursuant to an Authentication Order and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note shall be in minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. So long as no payment Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and to the extent not applied to make payments on the Notes, the Paying Agent shall return to the Co-Issuers any cash that remains unclaimed, together with interest, if any, thereon, held by them for the payment of the Collateral Sale Offered Price.

(h) However, if the Collateral Sale Payment Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Collateral Sale Offer.

(i) The Co-Issuers shall comply with the requirements of any securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Collateral Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.13, the Co-Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Section 4.13(II) by virtue of such compliance.

SECTION 4.14. Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving annual payments or consideration in excess of $2.5 million, unless:

(1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person, with such determination to be made at the time such Affiliate Transaction is entered into or agreed to; and

(2) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, the Company delivers to the Trustee an opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an independent accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of international standing qualified to perform the task for which such firm has been engaged (as determined by the Company in good faith).

-79-

(b) The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, shall not be subject to Section 4.14(a):

(1) director, officer, employee and consultant compensation, benefit, reimbursement and indemnification agreements, plans and arrangements (and payment awards in connection therewith) entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;

(2) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(3) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company) that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because either (x) the Company owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person or (y) a director of such Person is also a director of the Company; provided such director abstains from voting as a director of the Company on any matter involving such other person;

(4) (x) any issuance of Qualified Equity Interests of the Company (other than Designated Preferred Stock) to an Affiliate and the granting or performance of registration rights in respect of any Qualified Equity Interests of the Company (other than Designated Preferred Stock), which rights have been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or (y) any contribution to the Qualified Equity Interest capital of the Company by an Affiliate (other than in respect of Designated Preferred Stock);

(7) payments, loans or advances to employees or consultants or guarantees in respect thereof (or cancellation of loans, advances or guarantees) for bona fide business purposes.

-80-

(3) applicable law, rule, regulation or order or governmental or other license, permit or concession;

(4) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Equity Interests of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Equity Interests were incurred or issued in connection with such acquisition to provide funds to consummate such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred;

(5) customary provisions restricting assignments, subletting or other similar transfers in contracts, licenses and other agreements (including, without limitation, leases and agreements relating to intellectual property) entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(8) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

-82-

SECTION 4.16. Subsidiary Guarantees.

(a) If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires, creates, transfers assets to or otherwise invests in a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary or redesignates an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary and such Restricted Subsidiary is a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary (other than, in each case, (i) any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary if the net book value of the total assets of such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, when taken together with the net book value of the total assets of all other Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors as of such date, does not exceed $35.0 million, (ii) Logistics Finance (or any other Subsidiary that is at such time a co-issuer of the Notes), (iii) any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary if the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation or formation of such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary prohibit the issuance of such guarantee for the benefit of the Notes or (iv) any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary if such guarantee could reasonably be expected to result in any violation or breach of, or conflict with, the fiduciary duties of such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary’s officers, directors or managers as reasonably determined by the Co-Issuers acting in good faith) then such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor and shall, within 45 Business Days of the date of such acquisition, creation, transfer of assets, investment in or redesignation:

(1) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in substantially the form of Exhibit D and a Notation of Guarantee, pursuant to which such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Co-Issuers’ Obligations under the Notes and this Indenture on the terms set forth in this Indenture and, if such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary owns a Vessel required to become a Mortgaged Vessel, execute one or more Ship Mortgages and the other Security Documents in favor of the Collateral Trustee pursuant to which each such Vessel shall become a Mortgaged Vessel for all purposes under this Indenture and the parent of such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary shall enter into a Pledge Agreement to pledge such Capital Stock and related assets to the Collateral Trustee, in each case as provided for in Section 11.09; and

(2) deliver to the Trustee and Collateral Trustee one or more Opinions of Counsel that such supplemental indenture and Security Documents, if any, have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary and constitutes a valid and legally binding and enforceable obligation of such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, subject to customary exceptions, and if such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary owns Collateral, addressing customary creation and perfection matters.

Thereafter, such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of this Indenture.

(b) In addition, (i) to the extent that the collective net book value of the total assets of the Company’s non-Guarantor Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries, as of the date of the acquisition, creation, transfer of assets to, investment in or redesignation of a non-Guarantor Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, exceeds $35.0 million, then, within 45 Business Days of such date, the Company shall cause one or more of such non-Guarantor Wholly Owned

-83-

Restricted Subsidiaries to similarly execute a supplemental indenture (and deliver the related Opinions of Counsel), described in Section 4.16(a), pursuant to which such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary or Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s Obligations under the Notes and this Indenture, in each case, such that the collective net book value of the total assets of all remaining non-Guarantor Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries does not exceed $35.0 million and (ii) the Company may, at its option, cause any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to guarantee its Obligations under the Notes and this Indenture and enter into a supplemental indenture with respect thereto.

(c) The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor shall automatically and unconditionally (without any further action on the part of any Person) be released:

(1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger, consolidation or amalgamation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.13 or Section 4.14;

(2) in connection with any sale or other disposition of a majority of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, if (x) such Guarantor would no longer constitute a “Subsidiary” under this Indenture and (y) the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.13;

(3) if the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.18;

(4) upon liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor;

(5) in the case of a Guarantor that is not a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary that has voluntarily issued a Guarantee of the Notes, upon notice to the Trustee by the Company of the designation of such Guarantor as non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary if (x) the Company would be permitted to make an Investment in such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such release equal to the Fair Market Value of the Investment of the Company and its other Restricted Subsidiaries in such Guarantor as either a Permitted Investment or pursuant to Section 4.11 and (y) all transactions entered into by such Restricted Subsidiary while a Guarantor would be permitted under this Indenture at the time its Guarantee is released; and

(6) upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Notes as provided below under Section 8.01, Section 8.03 and Section 8.04.

SECTION 4.17. Reports to Holders.

(a) Whether or not the Company is then subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee and furnish to the Holders, so long as the Notes are outstanding:

-84-

(1) within 75 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters in each fiscal year, quarterly reports containing unaudited financial statements (including a balance sheet and statement of operations, changes in equity and cash flows) and a management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (or equivalent disclosure) for and as of the end of such fiscal quarter (with comparable financial statements for the corresponding fiscal quarter of the immediately preceding fiscal year); and

(2) within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an annual report containing audited financial statements (including a balance sheet and statement of operations, changes in equity and cash flows) and a management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for and as of the end of such fiscal year (with comparable financial statements for the immediately preceding fiscal year).

(b) In addition, the Company agrees that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, it shall furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

(c) The Company will make available such information and such reports to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, in each case, by confidentially posting such information on its website or on Intralinks or any comparable password-protected online data system and making readily available any password or other login information to any such recipient. The Company will hold a quarterly conference call for the Holders and securities analysts to discuss such financial information for the previous quarter (which may be held as part of a public earnings call for any direct or indirect parent of the Company) no later than ten Business Days after distribution of such financial information. The Company may require an acknowledgement from any such recipient that (i) it will keep all information confidential, (ii) it will not use such information in violation of applicable securities laws and (iii) it will not use the information to compete with the Company and is not a person principally engaged in a Permitted Business or that derives a significant portion of its revenues from a Permitted Business in connection with access to its financial information or conference calls and may withhold access from any person who does not satisfy such conditions in its good faith judgment. While the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company is in registration with respect to an initial public offering, the Company or any direct or indirect parent of Company, including Navios Holdings, shall not be required to disclose any information or take any actions which, in the view of the Company, would violate the securities laws or the Commission’s gun jumping rules.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.17, in the event that the Company is or becomes a public reporting company and files the reports containing substantially the information required pursuant to Section 4.17(a), then the Company shall satisfy the delivery requirements under this Section 4.17 upon the filing of such reports with the Commission.

(e) The Trustee will have no responsibility for the filing, timeliness or content of reports.

(f) Delivery of the reports, information and documents in accordance with this Section 4.17 will satisfy the Company’s obligation to make such delivery, but, in the case of the Trustee, such delivery shall be for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports, information and documents shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on an Officer’s Certificate).

SECTION 4.18. Limitations on Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Subsidiary (other than Logistics Finance or any other Subsidiary that is at such time a co-issuer of the Notes) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default or cause a Default to be continuing after such designation. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and shall reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.11 or under one or more clauses of the definition of “Permitted Investments,” as determined by the Company. That designation shall only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of the Company may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default or cause a Default to be continuing after such redesignation. Grimaud Ventures S.A. shall be automatically designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary on the Issue Date.

SECTION 4.19. Suspension of Covenants.

(a) If on any date after the Issue Date (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), then, beginning on that day, Section 4.10, Section 4.11, Section 4.13(I), Section 4.14, Section 4.15, Section 4.16 and Section 5.01(a)(3) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”) shall no longer be applicable to the Notes.

(b) In the event that the Co-Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Co-Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events.

-86-

(c) The period of time between the Covenant Suspension Event and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. In the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Co-Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement that would otherwise be a breach of any Suspended Covenant will give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; provided that (i) with respect to Restricted Payments made after any such reinstatement, the amount of Restricted Payments made shall be calculated as though Section 4.11 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period, and (ii) all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or preferred stock issued, during the Suspension Period shall be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.10(a), whether or not such test would otherwise be satisfied at such time. No Subsidiaries shall be designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries during any Suspension Period. During the Suspension Period, any future obligations to grant further Guarantees of the Notes shall be suspended but such further obligation to grant Guarantees of the Notes shall be reinstated upon the Reversion Date.

(d) The Company will promptly deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate identifying any Covenant Suspension Event including the date thereof and an Officer’s Certificate identifying any Reversion Date. The Trustee shall not have any duty to monitor the ratings of the Notes or monitor whether there is a Covenant Suspension Event or a Reversion Date and shall not have any duty to notify Holders of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date.

SECTION 4.20. Payment of Additional Amounts.

(a) All payments made by the Co-Issuers under or with respect to the Notes or by a Guarantor under or with respect to its Note Guarantee shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Authority in any jurisdiction in which a Co-Issuer or any Guarantor is organized or is otherwise resident for tax purposes, or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made (each, a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such Co-Issuer or Guarantor is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the official interpretation or administration thereof.

(b) If a Co-Issuer or any Guarantor is required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes imposed by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, the Co-Issuers or the relevant Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each Holder (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction shall equal the amount the Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts shall payable with respect to any Tax:

-87-

(1) that would not have been imposed, payable or due but for the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder (or the beneficial owner of, or person ultimately entitled to obtain an interest in, such Notes) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including being a citizen or resident or national of, or carrying on a business or maintaining a permanent establishment in, or being physically present in, the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction) other than the mere holding of the Notes or enforcement of rights under such Note or under a Guarantee or the receipt of payments in respect of such Note or a Guarantee;

(2) that would not have been imposed, payable or due but for the failure to satisfy any certification, identification or other reporting requirements whether imposed by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice; provided, however, that the Co-Issuers have delivered a request to the Holder to comply with such requirements at least 30 days prior to the date by which such compliance is required;

(3) that would not have been imposed, payable or due if the presentation of Notes (where presentation is required) for payment had occurred within 30 days after the date such payment was due and payable or was duly provided for, whichever is later;

(4) subject to Section 4.20(e), that is an estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer or personal property tax, assessment or charge; or

(5) as a result of a combination of the foregoing clauses (1) through (4).

In addition, Additional Amounts shall not be payable if the beneficial owner of, or Person ultimately entitled to obtain an interest in, such Notes would not have been entitled to the payment of Additional Amounts by reason of clause (1), (2), (3), (4) or (5) above if such beneficial holder had been the Holder. In addition, Additional Amounts shall not be payable with respect to any Tax which is payable otherwise than by withholding from any payment under or in respect of the Notes or any Guarantee.

(c) Whenever in this Indenture or the Notes there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of amounts based upon the principal amount of the Notes or of principal, interest or of any other amount payable under or with respect to any Note, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

(d) If the Co-Issuers are obligated to pay Additional Amounts under or with respect to any payment made on the Notes at least 30 days prior to the date of such payment, the Co-Issuers will deliver to the Trustee and Holders an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts shall be payable and the amount so payable and such other information necessary to enable the Trustee to pay Additional Amounts to Holders on the relevant payment date (unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises less than 45 days prior to the relevant payment date, in which case the Co-Issuers shall deliver such Officer’s Certificate and such other information as promptly as practicable after the date that is 30 days prior to the payment date, but no less than five Business Days prior thereto, and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)). The Trustee shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence that such payments are necessary. Upon request, the Co-Issuers will provide the Trustee with documentation satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of Additional Amounts.

-88-

(e) The Co-Issuers and the Guarantors shall pay for any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes, or any similar taxes, charges or levies which arise in any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from the execution, delivery or registration of the Notes, this Indenture or any other document or instrument referred to therein, or the receipt of any payments with respect to or enforcement of, the Notes or any Guarantee. The Co-Issuers and the Guarantors shall indemnify the Holders for any stamp taxes required to be paid in Argentina which arise from the execution, delivery or registration of this Indenture, the Notes and any other documents or instruments referred to herein or therein or the receipt of any payments with respect to or enforcement of, the Notes or any Guarantee.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors may, to the extent required to do so by law, deduct or withhold income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States of America from any payments under this Indenture; provided that the foregoing shall not limit the obligation of the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors to pay Additional Amounts as set forth in this Section 4.20.

SECTION 4.21. Events of Loss of a Mortgaged Vessel.

(a) If an Event of Loss occurs at any time with respect to a Mortgaged Vessel (the Mortgaged Vessel suffering such Event of Loss being the “Lost Mortgaged Vessel”), the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary shall deposit all Event of Loss Proceeds with respect to such Event of Loss with the Collateral Trustee as Trust Monies constituting Collateral subject to disposition as provided in this Section 4.21 or as provided in Sections 11.04 and 12.02. Such amount is hereinafter referred to as the “Loss Redemption Amount.”

(b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Event of Loss Proceeds, the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary shall apply such Event of Loss Proceeds to:

(1) substitute one or more Qualified Vessels (and to make any Permitted Repairs with respect thereto) for such Lost Mortgaged Vessel and make such Qualified Vessel(s) subject to the Lien of this Indenture and the applicable Security Documents in accordance with Section 11.04 and Section 11.09;

(2) make an Event of Loss Offer in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.21 and the other provisions of this Indenture; and/or

(3) any combination of the transactions permitted by the foregoing clauses (1) and (2).

(c) Any Event of Loss Proceeds that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.21(b) will constitute “Excess Loss Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Loss Proceeds exceeds $30.0 million, the Co-Issuers will make an offer (an “Event of Loss Offer”) to all Holders to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be required to be purchased out of the Excess Loss Proceeds (the “Excess Loss Proceeds Payment Amount”). The offer price for the Notes in any Event of Loss Offer shall be equal to 100% of principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Event of Loss Offered Price”), and shall be payable in cash. If any Event of Loss Proceeds remain after consummation of an Event of Loss Offer, those Event of Loss

-89-

Proceeds shall be retained as Trust Monies. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered into such Event of Loss Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Loss Proceeds, the Company will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (subject to adjustments to maintain the authorized denominations of the Notes). Upon completion of each Event of Loss Offer, the amount of Excess Loss Proceeds shall be reset at zero. The Co-Issuers may elect to satisfy their obligations to make an Event of Loss Offer prior to expiration of the relevant period or with respect to Excess Loss Proceeds of $30.0 million or less.

(d) Whenever Event of Loss Proceeds from any Event of Loss are received by the Co-Issuers, such Event of Loss Proceeds shall be retained by the Collateral Trustee as Trust Monies constituting Collateral subject to disposition as provided in this Section 4.21 or as provided under Sections 11.04 and 12.02. At the direction of the Co-Issuers, such Event of Loss Proceeds may be invested by the Collateral Trustee in Cash Equivalents in which the Collateral Trustee can maintain a perfected security interest.

(e) Upon the commencement of an Event of Loss Offer, the Co-Issuers shall deliver electronically or send, or cause to be delivered electronically or sent, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and to each Holder at its registered address. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holder to tender Notes pursuant to the Event of Loss Offer. Any Event of Loss Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Event of Loss Offer, shall state:

(1) that the Event of Loss Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.21 and that, to the extent lawful, all Notes tendered and not withdrawn shall be accepted for payment (unless prorated);

(2) the Excess Loss Proceeds Payment Amount, the Event of Loss Offered Price, and the date on which Notes tendered and accepted for payment shall be purchased, which date shall be at least 30 days and not later than 60 days from the date such notices is mailed or delivered electronically (the “Event of Loss Payment Date”);

(3) that any Notes not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms thereof;

(4) that, unless the Co-Issuers default in making such payment, any Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Event of Loss Offer shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Event of Loss Payment Date;

(5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to any Event of Loss Offer shall be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Co-Issuers, a depository, if appointed by the Co-Issuers, or the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days before the Event of Loss Payment Date;

(6) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Co-Issuers, the Depository or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than two Business Days prior to the Event of Loss Payment Date, a notice setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased;

-90-

(7) that if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Excess Loss Proceeds Payment Amount, the Co-Issuers shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Co-Issuers so that only Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased); and

(8) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry).

(f) On the Event of Loss Payment Date, the Co-Issuers shall, to the extent lawful: (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Event of Loss Offer, subject to pro ration if the aggregate Notes tendered exceed the Excess Loss Proceeds Payment Amount allocable to the Notes; (2) deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender equal to the lesser of the Excess Loss Proceeds Payment Amount allocable to the Notes and the amount sufficient to pay the Event of Loss Offered Price in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being repurchased by the Co-Issuers. The Co-Issuers shall inform the Holders of the results of the Event of Loss Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Event of Loss Payment Date.

(g) The applicable Paying Agent shall promptly mail or pay by wire transfer to each Holder whose Notes have been properly tendered the Event of Loss Offered Price for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate pursuant to an Authentication Order and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note shall be in minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. So long as no payment Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and to the extent not applied to make payments on the Notes, the Paying Agent shall return to the Co-Issuers any cash that remains unclaimed, together with interest, if any, thereon, held by them for the payment of the Event of Loss Offered Price.

However, if the Event of Loss Payment Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to an Event of Loss Offer.

(h) The Co-Issuers shall comply with the requirements of any securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Event of Loss Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.21, the Co-Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.21 by virtue of such compliance.

(a) is caused by a failure to pay the principal amount of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity after giving effect to any applicable grace periods (a “Payment Default”); or

(b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its stated final maturity;

and, in the case of clauses (a) and (b) above, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more;

-94-

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration.

(a) In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (9) or (10) of Section 6.01, with respect to a Co-Issuer, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, by written notice to the Co-Issuers, or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Trustee and the Co-Issuers, may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Any such notice from the Trustee or Holders shall specify the applicable Event(s) of Default, state that such notice is a “Notice of Acceleration” and may not be given with respect to any action taken, and reported publicly or to Holders, more than two years prior to such Notice of Acceleration. Upon such declaration of acceleration pursuant to a Notice of Acceleration, the aggregate principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without further action or notice. In the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(5), such Event of Default and its consequences (excluding, however, any resulting payment default) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Company delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Notes as described above be annulled, waived and rescinded upon the happening of any such events.

(b) Any notice of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction to the Trustee or Collateral Trustee, as applicable, to provide a notice of Default, notice of acceleration or take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more Holders (other than any Holder that is a Regulated Bank) (each, a “Directing Holder”) must be accompanied by a written representation from each such Holder delivered to the Co-Issuers and the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, that such Holder is not (or, in the case such Holder is DTC or its nominee, that such Holder is being instructed solely by Beneficial Owners that are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to the delivery of a notice of Default shall be deemed a continuing representation until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated.

-96-

In addition, each Directing Holder is deemed, at the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, to covenant to provide the Co-Issuers with such other information as the Co-Issuers may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such Holder’s Position Representation within five Business Days of request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the Holder is DTC or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the Beneficial Owner of the Notes in lieu of DTC or its nominee and DTC shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Position Representation and Verification Covenant in delivering its direction to the Trustee or Collateral Trustee, as applicable.

(c) If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Co-Issuers determine in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and provides to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Co-Issuers have initiated litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holder was, at such time, in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending a final and non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter.

(d) If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Co-Issuers provide to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending satisfaction of such Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position Representation shall result in such Holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such Holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining Holders that provided such Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio, with the effect that such Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred, acceleration voided and the Trustee and Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall be deemed not to have received such Noteholder Direction or any notice of such Default or Event of Default.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.02(c) or (d) to the contrary, any Noteholder Direction delivered to the Trustee or Collateral Trustee during the pendency of an Event of Default as the result of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall not require compliance with the foregoing Sections 6.02(c) or (d). In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing Sections 6.02(c) and (d) shall not apply to any Holder that is a Regulated Bank; provided that if a Regulated Bank is a Directing Holder or a Beneficial Owner directing DTC it shall provide a written representation to the Co-Issuers that it is a Regulated Bank.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee and Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any Noteholder Direction delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture and shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Position Representation, enforce compliance with any Verification Covenant, verify any statements in

-97-

any Officer’s Certificate delivered to it, or otherwise make calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to Derivative Instruments, Net Shorts, Long Derivative Instruments, Short Derivative Instruments or otherwise. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Trustee shall have any liability to the Co-Issuers, any Holder or any other Person in acting in good faith on a Noteholder Direction.

SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies.

If a Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, or interest, if any, on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture and the Trustee may direct the Collateral Trustee to enforce the performance of any provision of the Security Documents if any amount becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 6.02 (but not otherwise).

The Trustee and the Collateral Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. All rights of action and claims under the Security Documents may be prosecuted or enforced under the Security Documents by the Collateral Trustee (upon the direction of the Trustee, where appropriate). A delay or omission by the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Each Holder, by accepting a Note, acknowledges that the exercise of remedies by the Collateral Trustee with respect to the Collateral is subject to the terms and conditions of the Security Documents.

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.

Subject to Sections 2.09, 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes (which may include consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer of Notes) by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration or waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium on, any Note as specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2). In case of any such rescission or waiver, the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the Notes, respectively. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act does not apply to this Indenture. Upon any such rescission or waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such rescission or waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

-98-

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority.

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable. Subject to Section 7.01, however, the Trustee and Collateral Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder, or that may involve the Trustee or Collateral Trustee in personal liability (it being understood that neither the Trustee nor Collateral Trustee has an affirmative duty to determine whether any such action is prejudicial to any Holder); provided that the Trustee and Collateral Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

In the event the Trustee or Collateral Trustee takes any action or follows any direction pursuant to this Indenture, each of the Trustee and Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to each of them against any loss, liability or expense caused by taking such action or following such direction.

SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

No Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or the Notes or for any remedy hereunder or thereunder, unless:

(1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(2) Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested in writing the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holders have offered, and if requested, provided the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense in complying with such request;

(4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(5) Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a written direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

However, such limitations shall not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of any Note for enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, with respect to, such Note on or after the due date therefor.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over such other Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

-99-

SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders To Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, and interest on, a Note, on or after the respective due dates therefor, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder except to the extent that the institution or prosecution of such suit or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment or waiver of the Lien of this Indenture and the Security Documents upon the Collateral.

SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default in payment of principal, interest or premium specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Co-Issuers or any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount of principal, premium and accrued interest (if any) and fees remaining unpaid, together with interest, if any, on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate per annum borne by the Notes and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, Collateral Trustee, their agents and counsel.

SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and Collateral Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee, their agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Co-Issuers, their creditors or their property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee and Collateral Trustee any amount due to them for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, Collateral Trustee, their agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or Collateral Trustee under Sections 7.07 and 11.16. To the extent that payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, Collateral Trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee or Collateral Trustee under Sections 7.07 and 11.16 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceedings whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. The Trustee shall be entitled to participate as a member of any official committee of creditors in the matters as it deems necessary or advisable.

-100-

SECTION 6.10. Priorities.

If the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article Six or any other provision of this Indenture, pursuant to any of the Security Documents or as Trust Monies hereunder, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

First: to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee for amounts due under Sections 7.07 and 11.16;

Second: to Holders for interest accrued on the Notes, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for interest;

Third: to Holders for principal amounts due and unpaid on the Notes and Additional Amounts, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and premium;

Fourth: without duplication, to the Holders, for any other obligations due to them hereunder or under the Notes, pro rata based on the amounts of such obligations; and

Fifth: to the Co-Issuers or, if applicable, the Guarantors, as their respective interests may appear.

The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Co-Issuers, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee for any action taken or omitted by the Trustee as Trustee or the Collateral Trustee as Collateral Trustee, respectively, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 shall not apply to a suit by the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by a Holder or Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee or to the Collateral Trustee, the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

In addition, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default or Event of Default except (i) any Default or Event of Default occurring pursuant to Sections 4.01, 6.01(1) or 6.01(2), but solely if the Trustee is also the Paying Agent or (ii) any Default or Event of Default of which the Trustee shall have received written notification at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

The Trustee and Collateral Trustee shall have the right to request from any party to this Indenture, or any other person or entity entitled to payment hereunder, any additional forms, documentation or other information as may be reasonably necessary for the Trustee and Collateral Trustee to satisfy their respective reporting and withholding obligations under the Code. To the extent any such forms required to be delivered under this Section 7.02(n) are not provided by the time the related payment is required to be made or are reasonably determined by the Trustee or Collateral Trustee, as applicable, to be incomplete and/or inaccurate in any material respect, the Trustee or Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to withhold on any such payments to the extent withholding is required under Chapters 3, 4, 24 or 61 of the Code, and shall have no obligation to gross up any such payment.

The Co-Issuers shall pay to the Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder) from time to time such reasonable compensation as the Co-Issuers and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for its services rendered by it hereunder and under the Security Documents. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Co-Issuers shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred or made by it (acting in any capacity hereunder) in addition to the compensation for its services, except any such disbursements, expenses and advances as may be attributable to the Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. Such expenses shall include the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

The Co-Issuers and the Guarantors shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or reasonable expenses, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of such Person), liability or expense incurred by them except for such actions to the extent caused by any gross negligence or willful misconduct on their part as finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of

-106-

this trust or the Security Documents including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves against or investigating any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of the Trustee’s rights, powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Co-Issuers promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee or any of its agents for which it may seek indemnity. The Co-Issuers shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee and its agents subject to the claim may have separate counsel and the Co-Issuers shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Co-Issuers need not pay for any settlement made without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Co-Issuers need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability to the extent incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction.

To secure the Co-Issuers’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes against all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after a Default specified in Section 6.01(9) or (10) occurs, such expenses and the compensation for such services shall be paid to the extent allowed under any Bankruptcy Law.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, termination of the Security Documents and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. The obligations of the Co-Issuers shall be joint and several obligations of each of Navios South American Logistics Inc. and Navios Logistics Finance (US) Inc.

SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee.

The Trustee may resign at any time upon 30 days’ written notice to the Co-Issuers in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee upon 30 days written notice to the Co-Issuers and the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee (which Trustee shall be reasonably acceptable to the Co-Issuers). The Co-Issuers may remove the Trustee if:

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

(2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

(3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting as Trustee hereunder.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, the Co-Issuers shall notify each Holder of such event and shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Co-Issuers.

-107-

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Co-Issuers. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer, after payment of all sums then owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07, all property held by it as Trustee hereunder and under the Security Documents to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided in Section 7.07, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall deliver electronically or mail notice of its succession to each Holder. The retiring or removed Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for the action or inaction of any successor Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture shall be deemed to be a resignation or removal of the Trustee under the Security Documents and any appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Indenture shall be deemed to be an appointment of such person as a successor to the Trustee under the Security Documents and such successor shall assume all of the obligations of the Trustee under the Security Documents.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Co-Issuers or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition, at the expense of the Co-Issuers, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee at the expense of the Co-Issuers.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Co-Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. The current Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for any action or inaction of a successor Trustee.

SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another Person, the successor Person, without any further act, shall, if such resulting, surviving or transferee Person is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee; provided that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven.

SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.

This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act §§ 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2), 310(a)(3) and 310(a)(5) as if the Trust Indenture Act applied to this Indenture. Each of the Trustee and Collateral Trustee shall individually have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million as set forth in its most recent published

-108-

annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with Trust Indenture Act § 310(b) as if the Trust Indenture Act applied to this Indenture; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Trust Indenture Act § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Co-Issuers are outstanding, if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Trust Indenture Act § 310(b)(1) are met. The provisions of Trust Indenture Act § 310 shall apply to the Co-Issuers and any other obligor of the Notes as if the Trust Indenture Act applied to this Indenture.

SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Co-Issuers.

The Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee hereunder, shall comply with Trust Indenture Act § 311(a) as if the Trust Indenture Act applied to this Indenture, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Trust Indenture Act § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Trust Indenture Act § 311(a) as if the Trust Indenture Act applied to this Indenture to the extent indicated. The Trustee hereby waives any right to set-off any claim that it may have against the Co-Issuers in any capacity (other than as Trustee and Paying Agent) against any of the assets of the Co-Issuers held by the Trustee.

(2) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit including the incurrence of Liens in connection with such borrowings) and the deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture;

(3) the Co-Issuers or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by them under this Indenture; and

(4) the Co-Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Co-Issuers must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

In the case of clause (1)(b) of this Section 8.01, and subject to the next sentence and notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, the Co-Issuers’ obligations in Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.12, 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 (as to legal existence of the Co-Issuers only), 7.07, 8.06, 8.08 and 11.16 shall survive until the Notes are no longer outstanding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2.08. After the Notes are no longer outstanding, the Co-Issuers’ obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.06, 8.08 and 11.16 shall survive.

After such delivery or irrevocable deposit, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Co-Issuers’ obligations under the Notes and this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified above.

SECTION 8.02. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Co-Issuers may, at the option of their Boards of Directors evidenced by a Board Resolution accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.03 or 8.04 applied to all outstanding Notes and all obligations of any Guarantor upon compliance with the conditions set forth in this Article Eight.

SECTION 8.03. Legal Defeasance.

Upon the Co-Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.02 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Co-Issuers and each of the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.05, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). Such Legal Defeasance means that the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.06 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all of their other obligations under such Notes, the Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Co-Issuers, shall execute such instruments reasonably requested by the Co-Issuers acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

-110-

(1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.06;

(2) the Co-Issuers’ obligations with respect to the Notes under Article Two and Section 4.02;

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, exemptions from liability, immunities and indemnities of the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee hereunder, and the Co-Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and

(4) this Article Eight.

Subject to compliance with this Article Eight, the Co-Issuers may exercise their option under this Section 8.03 notwithstanding the prior exercise of their option under Section 8.04.

SECTION 8.04. Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Co-Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.02 of the option applicable to this Section 8.04, (i) the Co-Issuers and each of the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.05, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03 (other than with respect to the legal existence of the Co-Issuers), 4.04, 4.07, 4.09 through 4.19, 4.21 and Section 5.01 (except for the covenants contained in clauses (a)(1) and (a)(2) thereof) with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.05 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), (ii) the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors may cause the release of the Note Guarantees and of any Liens securing the Notes or the Guarantees, and (iii) the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Guarantees, the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply, and any release of the Note Guarantees or of Liens securing the Notes or the Note Guarantees, shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Co-Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.02 of the option applicable to this Section 8.04, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 8.04, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(10) shall not constitute Events of Default.

-111-

SECTION 8.05. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.03 or 8.04:

(1) the Co-Issuers must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as shall be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of or interest and premium, if any, on the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Co-Issuers must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular Redemption Date;

(2) in the case of an election under Section 8.03, the Co-Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, subject to customary limitations and exclusions, to the effect that (a) the Co-Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3) in the case of an election under Section 8.04, the Co-Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, subject to customary limitations and exclusions, to the effect that the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from, or otherwise arising in connection with, the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing);

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which either of the Co-Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries is a party or by which either Co-Issuer or any of their Subsidiaries are bound;

(6) the Co-Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Co-Issuers with the intent of preferring the Holders over the other creditors of the Co-Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Co-Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries or others; and

-112-

(7) the Co-Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by clause (2) above with respect to an election under Section 8.03 need not be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall become due and payable within one year under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of a notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Co-Issuers.

If the funds deposited with the Trustee to effect Covenant Defeasance are insufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes when due, then the obligations of the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors under this Indenture shall be revived and no such defeasance shall be deemed to have occurred.

SECTION 8.06. Deposited Money and Government Securities To Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 8.07, all cash, Cash Equivalents in U.S. Dollars and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying Trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.06, the “Trustee”) pursuant to this Article Eight in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Co-Issuers shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.05 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article Eight to the contrary, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Co-Issuers from time to time upon the request of the Co-Issuers any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of a firm of independent public accountants or any investment bank or appraisal firm, in each case nationally recognized in the United States expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.05(1)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

-113-

SECTION 8.07. Repayment to the Co-Issuers.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall promptly be paid to the Co-Issuers on their written request or shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter be permitted to look only to the Co-Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Co-Issuers as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

SECTION 8.08. Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with this Article Eight, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Co-Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Guarantees and the Security Documents shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article Eight until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with this Article Eight, as the case may be; provided, however, that (a) if a Co-Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Co-Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent and (b) so long as no payment Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless otherwise required by any legal proceeding or any other order or judgment of any court or governmental authority, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall return all such money and Government Securities (in each case to the extent remaining in their possession) to the Co-Issuers promptly after receiving a written request therefore at any time, if such reinstatement of the Co-Issuers’ obligations has occurred and continues to be in effect other than such money as has been applied to payment on the Notes.

The Co-Issuers shall be entitled to cure any event resulting in the reinstatement of its obligations hereunder.

-117-

SECTION 9.03. [Reserved].

SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, waiver or supplement becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Note or portion of his Note by notice to the Trustee or the Co-Issuers received before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver.

The Co-Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver, which record date shall be prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date. The Co-Issuers shall inform the Trustee in writing of the fixed record date if applicable.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (10) of Section 9.02(b), in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note; provided that the Co-Issuers and the Trustee are able to identify the particular Note which has so consented; provided, further, that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, and interest, and premium, if any, on, a Note, on or after the respective due dates therefor, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Co-Issuers may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee. The Co-Issuers shall provide the Trustee with an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and cause the Trustee to return it to the Holder at the Co-Issuers’ expense. Alternatively, if the Co-Issuers or the Trustee so determine, the Co-Issuers in exchange for the Note shall issue, and the Trustee shall authenticate, a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

-118-

SECTION 9.06. Trustee and Collateral Trustee To Sign Amendments, Etc.

The Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine; provided that the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as the case may be, may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee’s or the Collateral Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture. The Trustee and the Collateral Trustee shall each be entitled to receive, and, subject to Section 7.01, shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate, each stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and the Security Documents and that such amendment or supplement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors, or any surviving Person as applicable, enforceable against them in accordance with their terms. Such Opinion of Counsel shall be at the expense of the Co-Issuers.

Upon the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture pursuant to and in accordance with this Article Nine, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such amended or supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

ARTICLE TEN

NOTE GUARANTEE

SECTION 10.01. Unconditional Guarantee.

Subject to the provisions of this Article Ten, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and Collateral Trustee and their successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents or the obligations of the Co-Issuers to the Holders, the Trustee or Collateral Trustee hereunder or thereunder: (a) (x) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, on the Notes when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by acceleration or otherwise, (y) the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) interest on the Notes and (z) the due and punctual payment and performance of all other obligations of the Co-Issuers, in each case, to the Holders, the Trustee or Collateral Trustee hereunder or thereunder (including amounts due the Trustee and Collateral Trustee under Sections 7.07 and 11.16), all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (collectively, the “Guarantee Obligations”); and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Guarantee Obligations in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed, or failing performance of any other obligation of the Co-Issuers to the Holders under this Indenture, under the Notes or the Security Documents, for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be obligated to pay, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same immediately. An Event of Default under this Indenture, the Notes or the Security Documents shall constitute an Event of Default under the Note Guarantees, and shall entitle the Holders to accelerate the obligations of the Guarantors thereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Co-Issuers.

-119-

Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that (to the extent permitted by law) its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, this Indenture or the Security Documents, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Co-Issuers, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a Notation of Guarantee is affixed to any particular Note, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor (other than payment). To the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6.06, each of the Guarantors hereby waives the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Co-Issuers, any right to require a proceeding first against the Co-Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, this Indenture, this Note Guarantee and the Security Documents. This Note Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. If any Holder, the Trustee or Collateral Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to any Co-Issuer or to any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to such Co-Issuer or such Guarantor, any amount paid by such Co-Issuer or such Guarantor to the Trustee, Collateral Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Trustee and Collateral Trustee, on the other hand, (a) subject to this Article Ten, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.

SECTION 10.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, foreign, provincial or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, Collateral Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree (to the extent required by such laws) that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee and this Article Ten shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article Ten, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. Each Guarantor that makes a payment for distribution under its Note Guarantee is entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the adjusted net assets of each Guarantor.

-120-

SECTION 10.03. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.

To further evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Guarantee, substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto (each, a “Notation of Guarantee”), shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Such Notation of Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of each Guarantor by either manual, facsimile or other electronic signature of one Officer or other person duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of such Guarantor who shall have been duly authorized to so execute by all requisite corporate action. The validity and enforceability of any Notation of Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any particular Note.

Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a Notation of Guarantee.

If an Officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or a Notation of Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which such Notation of Guarantee is endorsed or at any time thereafter, such Guarantor’s Notation of Guarantee of such Note shall nevertheless be valid.

(j) any other circumstance, including release of a Guarantor pursuant to Section 10.04 (other than by complete, irrevocable payment) that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Co-Issuers under this Indenture or the Notes or of a Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee hereunder.

In the event (i) the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee shall receive any written request from the Co-Issuers or any Secured Guarantor under any Security Document for consent or approval with respect to any matter or thing relating to any Collateral or the obligations of the Co-Issuers or such Secured Guarantor with respect thereto or (ii) there shall be required from the Collateral Trustee under the provisions of any Security Document any performance or the delivery of any instrument or (iii) the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee shall become aware of any nonperformance by the Co-Issuers or any Secured Guarantor of any covenant or any breach of any representation or warranty of the Co-Issuers or such Secured Guarantor set forth in any Security Document, then, in each such event, the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled (but not obligated) (upon notice to the Trustee) at the expense of the Co-Issuers to hire experts, consultants, agents and attorneys (including, without limitation, those with appropriate experience and qualifications in all aspects of shipping, including operations and finance) to advise the Collateral Trustee on the manner in which the Collateral Trustee should respond to such request or render any requested performance or response to such nonperformance or breach or to act on its behalf, including without limitation, in connection with Collateral located outside the United States. The Collateral Trustee shall be fully protected in the taking of any action recommended or approved by any such expert, consultant, agent or attorney or agreed to by a majority of Holders pursuant to Section 6.05 and for any action taken by such consultant, agent or attorney. Notwithstanding the grant of authority in this Section 11.10, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Trustee has any obligation to hire any such experts, consultants, agents or attorneys and neither the Trustee nor Collateral Trustee shall have any liability to any Person, including any Holder, for failing to do so.

SECTION 11.11. Release upon Termination of the Co-Issuers’ Obligations.

In the event that the Co-Issuers deliver an Officer’s Certificate certifying that all of their obligations under this Indenture have been satisfied and discharged by complying with the provisions of Article Eight, the security interests shall automatically terminate, be released and have no further force and effect and the Collateral Trustee shall not be deemed to hold the security interests for the benefit of the Holders and shall, at the expense of the Co-Issuers and the Mortgaged Vessel Guarantors, promptly deliver such releases of the security interest as may be reasonably requested by the Co-Issuers.

SECTION 11.12. Collateral Trustee’s Duties in Respect of Collateral.

The Collateral Trustee, acting in its capacity as Collateral Trustee, beneficiary or mortgagee under each of the Security Documents, shall have only such duties with respect to the Collateral as are set forth in this Indenture and the Security Documents.

SECTION 11.13. Parallel Debt.

(a) Without prejudice to the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents and for the purpose of preserving the initial and continuing validity of the security rights granted and to be granted by the Co-Issuers and each Guarantor to the Collateral Trustee, an amount equal to and in the same currency of the obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees from time to time due by the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes and Guarantees, including for the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set out under Section 10.02, shall be owing as a separate and independent joint and several obligation of the Co-Issuers and each Guarantor to the Collateral Trustee (such payment undertaking and the obligations and liabilities which are the result thereof the “Parallel Debt”).

(b) The Co-Issuers, each Guarantor and the Collateral Trustee acknowledge that (i) for this purpose the Parallel Debt constitutes undertakings, joint and several obligations and liabilities of the Co-Issuers and each Guarantor to the Collateral Trustee under this Indenture and the Security Documents which are separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the corresponding obligations under the Notes and Guarantees which the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor has to the Holders and (ii) that the Parallel Debt represents the Collateral Trustee’s claims as Collateral Trustee to receive payment of the Parallel Debt; provided that the total amount which may become due under the Parallel Debt shall never exceed the total amount which may become due under the Notes and Guarantees; provided, further, that the Collateral Trustee shall exercise its rights with respect to the Parallel Debt solely in accordance with this Indenture and the Security Documents.

(c) Every payment of monies made by the Co-Issuers or a Guarantor to the Collateral Trustee shall (conditionally upon such payment not subsequently being avoided or reduced by virtue of any provisions or enactments relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar laws of general application) be in satisfaction pro tanto of the covenant by the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor contained in Section 11.13(a); provided that if any such payment as is mentioned above is subsequently avoided or reduced by virtue of any provisions or enactments relating to bankruptcy, liquidation or similar laws of general application the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment from the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor and the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor shall remain liable to perform the relevant obligation and the relevant liability shall be deemed not to have been discharged.

-134-

(d) Subject to the provision in paragraph (c) of this Section 11.13:

(i) the total amount due and payable as Parallel Debt under this Section 11.13 shall be decreased to the extent that the Co-Issuers or a Guarantor shall have paid any amounts to the Collateral Trustee or to the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or any of them to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Notes or the Collateral Trustee or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders otherwise receives any amount in payment of the Notes and the Guarantees; and

(ii) to the extent that the Co-Issuers or a Guarantor shall have paid any amounts to the Trustee or to the Collateral Trustee under the Parallel Debt or the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee shall have otherwise received monies in payment of the Parallel Debt, the total amount due and payable under the Notes and the Guarantees shall be decreased as if said amounts were received directly in payment of the Notes and Guarantees.

SECTION 11.14. Change of Flag; Change of Jurisdiction.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Co-Issuers or a Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor may transfer or change the flag of any of its Mortgaged Vessels to the flag of a Permitted Flag Jurisdiction, and in connection therewith the Collateral Trustee shall release the existing Ship Mortgage and related Security Documents to which any Mortgaged Vessel is subject in connection with the transfer or change of the flag of such Mortgaged Vessel to another Permitted Flag Jurisdiction if (i) the owner of the Mortgaged Vessel has executed (A) a new Ship Mortgage (granting the Collateral Trustee for its benefit and the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders a security interest in such Mortgaged Vessel subject only to Permitted Liens) and (B) the related Security Documents with respect to such Mortgaged Vessel, dated the date such Mortgaged Vessel shall be released from the existing Ship Mortgage and related Security Documents to which it is subject, which Ship Mortgage and related Security Documents shall be in appropriate form for recording or registration in the appropriate governmental offices of the Permitted Flag Jurisdiction under which it is being reflagged and the appropriate governmental offices in the jurisdiction of incorporation and/or domicile of the applicable Co-Issuer or Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor if required by applicable law in order to perfect the security interest therein created (or, with respect to the Security Agreements, if no such perfection of security interest can be obtained in the jurisdiction and/or domicile, in the appropriate governmental offices specified in the New York Uniform Commercial Code), as to which the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on an Opinion of Counsel to the Company with respect thereto; and (ii) the Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor has recorded or made all arrangements necessary for recording the Ship Mortgage referred to in clause (i) above in the appropriate registry office of the Permitted Flag Jurisdiction under which the Mortgaged Vessel is being reflagged as soon as reasonably practicable and to make any other filing necessary to perfect the security therein.

-135-

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, for the purposes of changing the jurisdiction in which a Mortgaged Vessel is flagged, the Co-Issuers or a Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor may transfer any of its Mortgaged Vessels to another Restricted Subsidiary (a “Transferee Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor”) who shall become a Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor pursuant to Section 11.09, and in connection therewith, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 13.04 and the documents required by this Section, the Collateral Trustee shall release the existing Ship Mortgage and related Security Documents to which any Mortgaged Vessel is subject in connection with the transfer to the Transferee Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor if such Transferee Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor has (i) executed (A) a new Ship Mortgage (granting the Collateral Trustee for its benefit and the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders a security interest in such Mortgaged Vessel subject only to Permitted Liens) and (B) the related Security Documents with respect to such Mortgaged Vessel, dated the date such Mortgaged Vessel shall be released from the existing Ship Mortgage and related Security Documents to which it is subject, which Ship Mortgage and related Security Documents shall be in appropriate form for recording or registration in the appropriate governmental offices in the jurisdiction of incorporation and/or domicile of the Transferee Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor if required by applicable law in order to perfect the security interests therein created (or if no such perfection of security interest can be obtained in the jurisdiction and/or domicile, in the appropriate governmental offices specified in the New York Uniform Commercial Code), as to which the Trustee and Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on an Opinion of Counsel to the Company with respect thereto and (ii) the Transferee Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor has recorded or made all arrangements necessary for recording the Ship Mortgage referred to in clause (i) above as soon as reasonably practicable and to make any other filing necessary to perfect the security therein.

SECTION 11.15. Appointment of Collateral Trustee and Supplemental Collateral Trustees.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree, and each Holder by accepting the Notes acknowledges and agrees that the Co-Issuers hereby appoint Wilmington Trust, National Association to act as Collateral Trustee (and, to the extent required in any particular jurisdiction, as security trustee, the “Security Trustee”; the term “Collateral Trustee” as used in this Indenture shall, as applicable, be deemed to also include Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its capacity as Security Trustee hereunder) hereunder, and Wilmington Trust, National Association accepts such appointment. The Trustee and the Holders acknowledge that the Collateral Trustee will be acting in respect to the Security Documents and the security granted thereunder on the terms outlined therein (which terms in respect of the rights and protections of the Collateral Trustee in the event of an inconsistency with the terms of this Indenture, will prevail). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Security Document, in the event of any conflict between any provision set forth in any Security Document and any provision of this Indenture that affects any rights, privileges, protections and indemnities in favor of the Collateral Trustee, such provision set forth in this Indenture shall prevail.

It is recognized that among other things, in case of litigation under this Indenture or the Security Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement thereof on default, or in the case the Collateral Trustee deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies herein granted to the

-136-

Collateral Trustee or hold title to the properties, in trust, as herein granted or take any action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Collateral Trustee appoint an individual or institution as a separate or co-trustee. The following provisions of this Section and Section 11.17 are adopted therefor.

(a) The Collateral Trustee may perform any of its duties and exercise any of its rights and powers through one or more sub-trustees or co-trustees appointed by it. The Collateral Trustee and any such sub-trustee or co-trustee may perform any of its duties and exercise any of its rights and powers through its affiliates. All of the provisions of this Indenture applicable to the Collateral Trustee (other than covenants and obligations relating to the Parallel Debt), including, without limitation, its rights to be indemnified, shall apply to and be enforceable by any such sub-trustee and Affiliates of a Collateral Trustee and any such sub-trustee or co-trustee. All references herein to a “Collateral Trustee” (other than covenants and obligations relating to the Parallel Debt) shall include any such sub-trustee or co-trustee and Affiliates of a Collateral Trustee or any such sub-trustee or co-trustee.

(b) It is the purpose of this Indenture and the Security Documents that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. Without limiting paragraph Section 11.15(a), it is recognized that in case of litigation under, or enforcement of, this Indenture or any of the Security Documents, or in case the Collateral Trustee deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the Security Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Collateral Trustee is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Collateral Trustee in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral trustee, sub-trustee, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Collateral Trustee” and collectively as “Supplemental Collateral Trustees”).

(c) In the event that the Collateral Trustee appoints a Supplemental Collateral Trustee with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Indenture or any of the other Security Documents (other than the rights arising in respect of the Parallel Debt under Section 11.13) to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to such Collateral Trustee with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Collateral Trustee to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Collateral Trustee to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Security Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Collateral Trustee (other than covenants and obligations relating to the Parallel Debt) shall run to and be enforceable by either such Collateral Trustee or such Supplemental Collateral Trustee, and (ii) the provisions of this Indenture (and, in particular, this Article Eleven) that refer to the Collateral Trustee shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Collateral Trustee and all references therein to the Collateral Trustee shall be deemed to be references to a Collateral Trustee and/or such Supplemental Collateral Trustee, as the context may require.

-137-

(d) Should any instrument in writing from the Co-Issuers or any other obligor be required by any Supplemental Collateral Trustee so appointed by the Collateral Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Co-Issuers and relevant Guarantor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Collateral Trustee. In case any Supplemental Collateral Trustee, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Collateral Trustee until the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral Trustee.

(e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Collateral Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Co-Issuers. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “act” of Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Co-Issuers, if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.15.

(f) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to such officer the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than such signer’s individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such signer’s authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Collateral Trustee deems sufficient.

(g) Subject to Section 9.02, the Collateral Trustee may (but shall not be obligated to), without the consent of the Holders, give any consent, waiver or approval required under any of the Security Documents or by the terms hereof with respect to the Collateral, but shall not without the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding (i) give any consent, waiver or approval or (ii) agree to any amendment or modification of any of the Security Documents, in each case which will have an adverse effect on the interests of any Holder. The Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to request and conclusively rely on an Opinion of Counsel with respect to whether any consent, waiver, approval, amendment or modification will have an adverse effect on the interests of any Holder.

-138-

SECTION 11.16. Compensation and Indemnity of Collateral Trustee; Immunities of Collateral Trustee.

(a) The Co-Issuers shall pay to the Collateral Trustee from time to time such reasonable compensation as the Co-Issuers and the Collateral Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for its services rendered by it hereunder and under the Security Documents. The Collateral Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a Trustee of an express trust. The Co-Issuers shall reimburse the Collateral Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services, except any such disbursements, expenses and advances as may be attributable to the Collateral Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. Such expenses shall include the reasonable fees and expenses of the Collateral Trustee’s agents and counsel.

(b) The Co-Issuers and the Guarantors shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Collateral Trustee or any predecessor Collateral Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or reasonable expenses, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of such Person), liability or expense incurred by them except for such actions to the extent caused by any gross negligence or willful misconduct on their part as finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or the Security Documents including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves against or investigating any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of the Collateral Trustee’s rights, powers or duties hereunder and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs incurred in connection with any action, claim or suit brought to enforce the Collateral Trustee’s right to compensation, reimbursement or indemnification. The Collateral Trustee shall notify the Co-Issuers promptly of any claim asserted against the Collateral Trustee or any of its agents for which it may seek indemnity. The Co-Issuers shall defend the claim and the Collateral Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Collateral Trustee and its agents subject to the claim may have separate counsel and the Co-Issuers shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Co-Issuers need not pay for any settlement made without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Co-Issuers need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability to the extent incurred by the Collateral Trustee through the Collateral Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct under this Indenture or the Security Documents, as finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) To secure the Co-Issuers’ payment obligations in this Section 11.16, the Collateral Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes against all money or property held or collected by the Collateral Trustee, in its capacity as Collateral Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes.

(d) When either the Collateral Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after a Default specified in Section 6.01(9) or (10) occurs, such expenses and the compensation for such services shall be paid to the extent allowed under any Bankruptcy Law.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture or any Security Documents, the Collateral Trustee will not have any duties, responsibilities or obligations other than those expressly assumed by it in this Indenture and the Security Documents to which it is a party. The Collateral Trustee will not be required to take any action that is contrary to applicable law or any provision of this Indenture or the Security Documents to

-139-

which it is a party or will adversely affect the rights, privileges, benefits and immunities of or be contrary to the interests of the Collateral Trustee. The Collateral Trustee shall not have any fiduciary relationship with the Holders or Trustee and no implied covenants, obligations or responsibilities shall be read into this Indenture or the Security Documents against the Collateral Trustee.

(f) The Collateral Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys, accountants, appraisers, consultants or other experts or advisors selected by it with due care as it may require and will not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any of them.

(g) The Collateral Trustee has accepted and is bound by the Security Documents executed by the Collateral Trustee as of the Issue Date and, as directed in writing by an act of Holders or as otherwise provided for in this Indenture, the Collateral Trustee shall execute additional Security Documents delivered to it after the Issue Date; provided, however, that such additional Security Documents do not adversely affect the rights, privileges, benefits and immunities of the Collateral Trustee.

(h) (i) The Collateral Trustee may at any time solicit written confirmatory instructions from the Holders, an Officer’s Certificate or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, as to any action that it may be requested or required to take, or that it may propose to take, in the performance of any of its obligations under this Indenture or the Security Documents.

(ii) No written direction given to the Collateral Trustee by the Holders that in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Trustee imposes, purports to impose or might reasonably be expected to impose upon the Collateral Trustee any obligation or liability not set forth in or arising under this Indenture and the Security Documents shall be binding upon the Collateral Trustee unless the Collateral Trustee elects, at its sole option, to accept such direction.

(i) The Collateral Trustee will not be responsible or liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any Security Document, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(j) The Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to require that all agreements, certificates, opinions, instruments and other documents at any time submitted to it, including those expressly provided for in this Indenture, be delivered to it in a form and with substantive provisions reasonably satisfactory to it.

(k) The Collateral Trustee may seek and rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any judicial order or judgment, upon any advice, opinion or statement of legal counsel, independent consultants and other experts selected by it in good faith and upon any certification, instruction, notice or other writing delivered to it by any Co-Issuer or any Guarantor in compliance with the provisions of this Indenture or delivered to it by any Holder without being required to determine the authenticity thereof or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of service thereof. The Collateral Trustee may act in reliance

-140-

upon any instrument comporting with the provisions of this Indenture or any signature reasonably believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any Person purporting to give notice or receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof or the other Security Documents has been duly authorized to do so. To the extent an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel is required or permitted under this Indenture to be delivered to the Collateral Trustee in respect of any matter, the Collateral Trustee may rely conclusively on an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel as to such matter and such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel shall be full protection to the Collateral Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture and the other Security Documents.

(l) As to any matter not expressly provided for by this Indenture or the other Security Documents, the Collateral Trustee will act or refrain from acting as directed in writing by the Holders and will be fully protected if it does so, and any action taken, suffered or omitted pursuant hereto or thereto shall be binding on the Holders. In the absence of written direction of the Holders described in the immediately preceding paragraph the Collateral Trustee shall have no duty to act, consent or request any action from any Co-Issuer or any Guarantor or any other Person in connection with this Indenture (including all exhibits attached hereto).

(m) The Collateral Trustee will not be required to take any action at the direction of any Holders, to advance or expend any funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers or rights hereunder unless it has been provided with pre-funding, security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any and all cost, loss, liability or expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such action.

(n) In the event there is any good faith disagreement between the other parties to this Indenture or any of the Security Documents resulting in adverse claims being made in connection with Collateral held by the Collateral Trustee and the terms of this Indenture or any of the Security Documents do not unambiguously mandate the action the Collateral Trustee is to take or not to take in connection therewith under the circumstances then existing, or the Collateral Trustee is in doubt as to what action it is required to take or not to take hereunder or under the Security Documents, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action (and will incur no liability for doing so) until directed otherwise (subject to Section 11.16(l)) in writing by a request signed jointly by the parties hereto entitled to give such direction or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(o) (i) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of Collateral in its possession, the Collateral Trustee will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Collateral Trustee (and the Trustee) will not be responsible for filing any financing, amendment or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any Liens on the Collateral. The Collateral Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and the Collateral Trustee will not be liable or

-141-

responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Trustee in good faith. Pursuant to applicable law, each Co-Issuer and Secured Guarantor authorizes the Collateral Trustee to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments without the signature of such Co-Issuer or Secured Guarantor in such form and in such offices as may be necessary or as the Collateral Trustee may determine appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Trustee under this Indenture. Notwithstanding the grant of authority herein, neither the Collateral Trustee nor the Trustee shall have any duty to make any filings or record any documents or instruments (including financing, amendment and continuation statements) to perfect or maintain the perfection of the Collateral Trustee’s liens on the Collateral.

(ii) Neither the Collateral Trustee nor the Trustee not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of any Co-Issuer or any Guarantor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Collateral Trustee and Trustee hereby disclaim any representation or warranty to the current and future Holders concerning the perfection of the Liens granted hereunder or in the value of any of the Collateral.

(iii) Neither the Collateral Trustee, the Trustee nor any of its experts, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Indenture or the Security Documents (except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) responsible in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties (other than its own recitals, statements, representations or warranties) made in this Indenture or any of the Security Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Trustee under or in connection with, this Indenture or any of the Security Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture or any of the Security Documents or for any failure of the Co-Issuers or any other Person to perform their obligations hereunder and thereunder. The Collateral Trustee shall not be under any obligation to any Person to ascertain or to inquire as to (a) the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture or any of their Security Documents or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Co-Issuer, (b) whether or not any representation or warranty made by any Person in connection with this Indenture or any of the Security Documents is true, (c) the performance by any Person of its obligations under this Indenture or Security Documents or (d) the breach of or default by any Person of its obligations under this Indenture or any of the Security Documents.

(iv) The Collateral Trustee shall not be bound to (a) account to any Person for any sum or the profit element of any sum received for its own account; (b) disclose to any other Person any information relating to the Person if such disclosure would, or might, constitute a breach of any law or regulation or be otherwise actionable at the suit of any Person or (c) be required to take any action that it believes, based on advice of counsel, is in conflict with any applicable law, this Indenture or any Security Documents or any order of any court or administrative agency.

-142-

(v) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or any Security Documents to the contrary, (a) in no event shall the Collateral Trustee or any officer, director, employee, representative or agent of the Collateral Trustee be liable under or in connection with this Indenture or any of the Security Documents for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits or loss of opportunity, whether or not foreseeable, even if the Collateral Trustee has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought; and (b) the Collateral Trustee shall be afforded all of the rights, powers, immunities and indemnities set forth in this Indenture or any of Security Documents to which it is a signatory as if such rights, powers, immunities and indemnities were specifically set out in each such documents. In no event shall the Collateral Trustee be obligated to invest any amounts received by it hereunder.

(vi) The Collateral Trustee shall not be deemed to have actual, constructive, direct or indirect knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default unless and until the Collateral Trustee has received a written notice or a certificate from the Co-Issuers stating that a Default has occurred. The Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever either prior to or after receiving such notice or certificate to inquire whether a Default has in fact occurred and shall be entitled to rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any notice or certificate so furnished to it. No provision of this Indenture or any of the Security Documents shall require the Collateral Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties under this Indenture or any Security Documents or the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability including an advance of moneys necessary to perform work or to take the action requested is not reasonably assured to it, the Collateral Trustee may decline to act unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it, including an advance of moneys necessary to take the action requested. The Collateral Trustee shall be under no obligation or duty to take any action under this Indenture or any of the Security Documents or otherwise if taking such action (i) would subject the Collateral Trustee to a tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a tax or (ii) would require the Collateral Trustee to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified.

(vii) If, with respect to a proposed action to be taken by it, the Collateral Trustee shall determine in good faith that the provisions of this Indenture or any Security Documents relating to the functions or responsibilities or discretionary powers of the Collateral Trustee are or may be ambiguous or inconsistent, the Collateral Trustee shall notify the Trustee, identifying the proposed action, and may decline either to perform such function or responsibility or to take the action requested unless it has received the written confirmation of the Trustee that the action proposed to be taken by the Collateral Trustee is consistent with the terms of this Indenture or of the Security Documents or is otherwise appropriate. The Collateral Trustee shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon the confirmation of the Trustee or Holders holding a majority in principal amount of the Notes, in this respect, and such confirmation shall be binding upon the Holders.

(viii) Upon receipt of indemnity requested by the Collateral Trustee and assuming the requested action does not conflict with other clauses of this Section 11.16(o), the Collateral Trustee shall act upon the specific instructions of the Trustee, except for any instructions that in the good faith judgment of the Collateral Trustee may be contrary to this Indenture or of the Security Documents or applicable law.

(p) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the right of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated herein or in any Security Documents to which it is a party (including the right to consent to or approve of any action or document which requires their consent or approval and the right to waive any provision of, or consent to any change or amendment to, any of the operative documents) shall not be construed as giving rise to any expressed or implied duty owed by the Trustee or Collateral Trustee.

(q) In the event that the Collateral Trustee or Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Trustee’s or Trustee’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Trustee or Trustee to be considered an “owner or operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause the Collateral Trustee or Trustee to incur, or be exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, state, foreign or local law, the Collateral Trustee and Trustee reserve the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign as Collateral Trustee or Trustee, as the case may be, or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. The Collateral Trustee will not be liable to any Person for any environmental liability or any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state, foreign or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Trustee’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or release or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous materials into the environment and shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Co-Issuers against any such claims, liabilities or actions.

(r) The Collateral Trustee shall not nor shall any receiver appointed by or any agent of the Collateral Trustee, by reason of taking possession of any Collateral or any part thereof or any other reason or on any basis whatsoever, be liable to account for anything except actual receipts or be liable for any loss or damage arising from a realization of the Collateral or any part thereof or from any act, default or omission in relation to the Collateral or any part thereof or from any exercise or non-exercise by it of any power, authority or discretion conferred upon it in relation to the Collateral or any part thereof unless such loss or damage shall be caused directly by its own willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Collateral Trustee shall not have any responsibility or liability arising from the fact that the Collateral may be held in safe custody by a custodian. The Collateral Trustee assumes no responsibility for the validity, sufficiency or enforceability (which the Collateral Trustee has not investigated) of the Collateral purported to be created by any supplemental indenture or other document. In addition, the Collateral Trustee has no duty to monitor the performance by the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors of their obligations to the Collateral Trustee nor is it obliged (unless indemnified to its satisfaction) to take any other action which may involve the Collateral Trustee in any personal liability or expense.

-144-

(s) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.16 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Collateral Trustee.

SECTION 11.17. Replacement of Collateral Trustee.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Trustee as provided in this Section 11.17, the Collateral Trustee may resign at any time upon 30 days’ written notice to the Co-Issuers and the Trustee in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Trustee as provided in this Section 11.17, remove the Collateral Trustee upon 30 days written notice to the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee and may appoint a successor Collateral Trustee (which Collateral Trustee shall be reasonably acceptable to the Co-Issuers). The Co-Issuers may remove the Collateral Trustee if:

(1) the Collateral Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

(2) the Collateral Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Collateral Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

(3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Collateral Trustee or its property; or

(4) the Collateral Trustee becomes incapable of acting as Collateral Trustee hereunder.

If the Collateral Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Collateral Trustee for any reason, the Co-Issuers shall notify each Holder of such event and shall promptly appoint a successor Collateral Trustee. Within one year after the successor Collateral Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Collateral Trustee to replace the successor Collateral Trustee appointed by the Co-Issuers.

A successor Collateral Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Collateral Trustee and to the Co-Issuers. Immediately after that, the retiring Collateral Trustee shall transfer, after payment of all sums then owing to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 11.16, all property held by it as Collateral Trustee hereunder and under the Security Documents to the successor Collateral Trustee, subject to the Lien provided in Section 11.16, the resignation or removal of the retiring Collateral Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Collateral Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Collateral Trustee shall deliver electronically or mail notice of its succession to the Trustee and each Holder. The retiring or removed Collateral Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for the action or inaction of any successor Collateral Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Indenture shall be deemed to be a resignation or removal of the Collateral Trustee under the Security Documents and any appointment of a successor Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Indenture shall be deemed to be an appointment of such person as a successor to the Collateral Trustee under the Security Documents and such successor shall assume all of the obligations of the Collateral Trustee under the Security Documents.

-145-

If a successor Collateral Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Collateral Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Collateral Trustee, the Co-Issuers or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition, at the expense of the Co-Issuers, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Trustee at the expense of the Co-Issuers.

If the Collateral Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Collateral Trustee and the appointment of a successor Collateral Trustee.

Notwithstanding replacement of the Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Section 11.17, the Co-Issuers’ and Guarantors’ obligations under Section 11.16 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Collateral Trustee.

In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, any resignation, removal or replacement of the Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Section 11.17 shall not be effective until (a) a successor to the Collateral Trustee has agreed to act under the terms of this Indenture and (b) all of the security interests in the Collateral has been transferred to such successor. Any replacement or successor Collateral Trustee shall be a bank meeting the requirements of Section 7.10 applicable to a Collateral Trustee or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon acceptance of its appointment as Collateral Trustee hereunder by a replacement or successor, such replacement or successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Trustee hereunder, and the retiring Collateral Trustee shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.

SECTION 11.18. Future LNG Investments.

If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries make an Investment (other than pursuant to clause (15) of the definition of “Permitted Investments” or the acquisition of a Mortgaged Vessel by a Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor) in any Restricted Subsidiary whose operations relate primarily to the production, storage or transport of liquefied natural gas (such Restricted Subsidiary, a “Future LNG Entity”), the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary will promptly, but in any event within thirty (30) days of each such Investment, pledge to the Collateral Trustee on a first-priority basis, subject only to Permitted Liens, pursuant to a customary enforceable Pledge Agreement having terms no less favorable in any material respect to the Holders than the Pledge Agreements entered into on the Issue Date, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders, 100% of the Capital Stock of such Future LNG Entity owned by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (such pledged Capital Stock, the “Pledged LNG Equity”).

-146-

SECTION 11.19. Amendment of the Vale Port Contract.

CNSA may amend from time to time the terms of the Vale Port Contract and the Assignment of the Vale Port Contract so long as the terms of such amendments, taken as a whole, are not materially adverse to the interests of the Holders, as determined by the Company in good faith, it being understood that any amendment that triggers the receipt by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Net Proceeds will automatically be deemed not materially adverse to the interests of the Holders if the Company elects to apply such Net Proceeds in accordance with the provisions under Section 4.13(II).

ARTICLE TWELVE

APPLICATION OF TRUST MONIES

SECTION 12.01. “Trust Monies” Defined.

All cash or Cash Equivalents received by the Collateral Trustee as, or in respect of, Collateral:

(a) upon the release of property from the Lien of any of the Security Documents, including all moneys received in respect of the principal of all purchase money, governmental and other obligations; or

(b) as compensation for, or proceeds of the sale of all or any part of the Collateral taken by eminent domain or purchased by, or sold pursuant to an order of, a governmental authority or otherwise disposed of; or

(c) as proceeds of insurance upon any, all or part of the Collateral (other than proceeds under any protection and indemnity or other third-party liability insurance); or

(d) pursuant to any of the Ship Mortgages; or

(e) as proceeds of any other sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral by or on behalf of the Collateral Trustee or any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation or other realization of or from all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents or otherwise; or

(f) consisting of the cash or Cash Equivalents component of Qualified Collateral; or

(g) any money held from time to time in the Collateral Account; or

(h) for application under this Article Twelve as elsewhere provided for in this Indenture or any Security Document, or whose disposition is not elsewhere otherwise specifically provided for herein or in any Security Document;

(all such moneys being herein sometimes called “Trust Monies”; provided, however, that Trust Monies shall not include (a) any property (i) deposited with the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 4.09, 4.13(I), Articles Three or Eight or (ii) delivered to or received by the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 6.10 hereof or (b) any interest earned on Trust Monies deposited with the Collateral Trustee, which interest shall be paid over to the Co-Issuers upon their request) shall be held by the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders as a

-147-

part of the Collateral and, upon any entry upon or sale or other disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof pursuant to any of the Security Documents, said Trust Monies shall be applied in accordance with Section 6.10; but, prior to any such entry, sale or other disposition, all or any part of the Trust Monies may be withdrawn, and shall be released, paid or applied by the Collateral Trustee, from time to time as provided in Section 11.04 and Sections 12.02 through 12.04, inclusive. It is understood and agreed that any amounts received by the Collateral Trustee or the Trustee in respect of expenses, fees or indemnity amounts owed to the Collateral Trustee or the Trustee shall not be deemed to be Trust Monies.

On the Issue Date there shall be established and, at all times hereafter until this Indenture shall have terminated, there shall be maintained with the Collateral Trustee an account which shall be entitled the “Collateral Account” (the “Collateral Account”). The Collateral Account shall be established and maintained by the Collateral Trustee in its own name at its Corporate Trust Offices. All Trust Monies which are received by the Collateral Trustee shall be deposited in the Collateral Account and thereafter shall be held, applied and/or disbursed by the Collateral Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Article Twelve. Each Co-Issuer and each Secured Guarantor hereby pledges and grants a security interest to the Collateral Trustee in, and the Collateral Trustee shall have a Lien on and security interest in, the Collateral Account and all cash and Cash Equivalents therein from time to time, and any proceeds thereof, for the benefit of the Holders as part of the Collateral.

SECTION 12.02. Use of Trust Monies; Retirement of Notes.

The Collateral Trustee shall, at the request of the Trustee, direct Trust Monies to the Trustee for application from time to time (i) in the manner provided under Article Eleven and (ii) to the payment of the principal of (at a purchase price of not less than 100% of the principal amount of the relevant Notes), any Notes, on any Maturity Date or to the redemption thereof or the purchase thereof upon tender or in the open market or at private sale or upon any exchange or in any one or more of such ways, including, without limitation, pursuant to an offer to purchase, redemption or defeasance under Section 4.13 or 4.21, a Change of Control Offer under Section 4.09 or defeasance under Article Eight (including, in each case, each related required interest payment), as the Co-Issuers shall request in writing (which may include payment over to the Co-Issuers for use in open market, private sales or other private transactions), upon receipt by the Collateral Trustee and the Trustee of the following:

(a) Board Resolutions of the Co-Issuers directing the application pursuant to this Section 12.02 of a specified amount of Trust Monies and, in case any such moneys are to be applied to payment, designating the Notes so to be paid and, in case any such moneys are to be applied to the purchase of Notes, prescribing the method of purchase, the price or prices to be paid and the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes to be purchased and any other provisions of this Indenture governing such purchase;

(b) cash in the maximum amount of the accrued interest, if any, required to be paid in connection with any such purchase, which cash shall be held by the Collateral Trustee in trust for such purpose;

-148-

(c) an Officer’s Certificate, dated not more than five Business Days and not less than two Business Days prior to the date of the relevant application stating

(i) that no Default exists unless such Default would be cured thereby; and

(ii) that all conditions precedent and covenants herein provided for relating to such application of Trust Monies have been complied with; and

(d) an Opinion of Counsel stating that the documents and the cash or Cash Equivalents, if any, which have been or are therewith delivered to and deposited with the Collateral Trustee conform to the requirements of this Indenture and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such application of Trust Monies have been complied with.

Upon compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Collateral Trustee shall apply Trust Monies as directed and specified by such Board Resolution, up to, but not exceeding, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so paid or purchased, using the cash deposited pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 12.02, to the extent necessary, to pay any accrued and unpaid interest required in connection with such purchase.

A Board Resolution expressed to be irrevocable directing the application of Trust Monies under this Section 12.02 to the payment of the principal of Notes shall for all purposes of this Indenture be deemed the equivalent of the deposit of money with the Collateral Trustee in trust for such purpose. Such Trust Monies and any cash deposited with the Collateral Trustee pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 12.02 for the payment of accrued interest shall not, after compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section, be deemed to be part of the Collateral or Trust Monies.

With respect to any Trust Monies to be released by the Collateral Trustee to the Co-Issuers or any Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor in connection with the designation of any Qualified Vessel as Collateral, the requisite amount of Trust Monies (in each instance, the “Released Monies”) shall be released from escrow by the Collateral Trustee not more than five Business Days before the expected delivery date of the applicable Qualified Vessel (whether such Qualified Vessel has been or will be acquired through the direct purchase of such Qualified Vessel or the equity interests of any person owning such Qualified Vessel and which may include a Qualified Vessel owned by a Subsidiary (including a Subsidiary Guarantor) that is not a Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor) to a bank account designated by the Company or Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor and will then be remitted by the Company or such Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor to the seller (or as the seller may direct) of such Vessel in the form of a conditional payment to the seller’s bank (or as the seller may direct) in accordance with the terms of the acquisition contract and in a manner consistent with customary vessel acquisition practice. During such five Business Day period before the expected delivery date, such Released Monies shall be held in a bank account in the name of the Company or a Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor on an unsecured basis and the Trustee, Collateral Trustee and Holders will have no security interest or lien on such funds. In the event that the applicable Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor shall not have delivered and/or filed the Security Documents (including without limitation the Ship

-149-

Mortgage, an Assignment of Freights and Hires and an Assignment of Insurance) required by this Indenture and the Security Documents to perfect the security interest of the Collateral Trustee, the Trustee and the Holders in such Vessel and such Related Business Assets and the Capital Stock of such Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor, if not already pledged to the Collateral Trustee as required by this Indenture on or prior to the 15th calendar day following the day on which such Released Monies were released to the Company or such Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor as described above, then, on or before such 15th calendar day, the Company shall return to the Collateral Trustee an amount equal to the full amount of such Released Monies that were released in connection with such proposed Qualified Vessel delivery to be re-deposited into the Collateral Account. Any amount returned to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall immediately be subject to the security interest and Lien granted pursuant to this Indenture and the Security Documents. The foregoing provisions relating to the release of Trust Monies and the obligation of the Company to deliver Collateral or return such Trust Monies shall also apply to any Segregated Funds relating to the issuance of Additional Notes.

SECTION 12.03. Powers Exercisable Notwithstanding Default or Event of Default.

In case a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing, the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as the case may be, while in possession of the Collateral (including the cash, Cash Equivalents, securities and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Collateral Trustee hereunder or under the Security Documents), may do any of the things enumerated in Section 12.02 at the request of the Co-Issuers and/or the applicable Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor, if the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding, by appropriate action of such Holders, shall consent to such action, in which event any certificate filed under any of such Sections shall omit the statement to the effect that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 12.04. Powers Exercisable by Trustee or Receiver.

In case the Collateral (other than any cash, Cash Equivalents, securities and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Collateral Trustee hereunder or under the Security Documents) shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee lawfully appointed, the powers hereinbefore in this Article Twelve conferred upon the Co-Issuers and the Secured Guarantors with respect to the withdrawal or application of Trust Monies may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, in which case a certificate signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any Officer’s Certificate required by this Article Twelve. If the Collateral Trustee shall be in possession of any of the Collateral hereunder or under any of the Security Documents, such powers may be exercised by the Collateral Trustee, as directed by the Trustee, in its discretion.

SECTION 12.05. Disposition of Notes Retired.

All Notes received by the Trustee and for whose purchase Trust Monies are applied under this Article Twelve, if not otherwise cancelled, shall be promptly delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and destruction in accordance with Section 2.11. Upon destruction of any Notes, the Trustee shall issue a certificate of destruction to the Co-Issuers upon its request.

-150-

SECTION 12.06. Investment of Trust Monies.

(a) The Co-Issuers hereby irrevocably grant a security interest in and pledge, assign and set over to the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders all of the Co-Issuers’ right, title and interest in the Trust Monies, and all property now or hereafter placed or deposited in, or delivered to the Collateral Trustee for placement or deposit in, the Collateral Account held by (or otherwise maintained in the name of) the Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Section 12.06, and, subject to Section 12.01, all distributions relating thereto and proceeds thereof, in order to secure all obligations and indebtedness of the Co-Issuers under the Notes and any other obligation, now or hereafter arising, of every kind and nature, owed by the Co-Issuers under this Indenture to the Holders or to the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders. The Co-Issuers shall take all actions and shall direct the Collateral Trustee to take all actions necessary on its part to ensure the continuance of a security interest in the Trust Monies in favor of the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders in order to secure all such obligations and indebtedness. The Co-Issuers shall not grant a security interest, encumbrance, lien or other claim, direct or indirect, in the Co-Issuers’ right, title or interest in the Collateral Account or any other Collateral which is Trust Monies.

(b) The Collateral Trustee shall (A) maintain sole dominion and control over funds in the Collateral Account and all other Collateral which is Trust Monies for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders and (B) maintain such Trust Monies free and clear of all liens, security interests, safekeeping or other charges, demands and claims against the Collateral Trustee of any nature now or hereafter existing in favor of anyone other than the Collateral Trustee.

(c) All Trust Monies deposited or held in the Collateral Account at any time shall be invested by the Collateral Trustee in Cash Equivalents in accordance with the Co-Issuers’ written instructions in the form of an Officer’s Certificate to the Collateral Trustee and completion of such documents as required by the Collateral Trustee’s internal procedures. Any such written instruction shall specify the particular investment to be made and shall state that such investment is authorized to be made hereby.

The Trustee and the Collateral Trustee shall have no responsibility for any investment losses resulting from the investment, reinvestment or liquidation of the Trust Monies to the extent such investment, reinvestment or liquidation is made in compliance with the terms of this Section 12.06. The Co-Issuers acknowledge that the Collateral Trustee is not providing investment supervision, recommendations, or advice. Any interest or other income received on such investment and reinvestment of the Trust Monies shall become part of the Trust Monies and any losses incurred on such investment and reinvestment of the Trust Monies shall be debited against the Trust Monies. If a selection is not made and a written direction not given to the Collateral Trustee, the Trust Monies deposited in cash shall remain uninvested with no liability for interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Trustee shall have the power to sell or liquidate the foregoing investments whenever the Collateral Trustee shall be required to

-151-

release all or any portion of the Trust Monies pursuant to this Article Twelve. In no event shall the Collateral Trustee be deemed an investment manager or adviser in respect of any selection of investments hereunder. It is understood and agreed that the Collateral Trustee or its affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Collateral Trustee’s economic self-interest for (A) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder servicing agent or custodian with respect to certain of the investments, (B) using affiliates to effect transactions in certain investments and (C) effecting transactions in investments.

The Co-Issuers agree that confirmations of investments are not required to be issued by the Collateral Trustee for any month for which a monthly statement is rendered. No statement need be rendered for any fund or account if no activity occurred in such fund or account during such month. The Co-Issuers may obtain confirmations at no additional cost upon their written request.

The Co-Issuers shall be obligated to and shall pay or reimburse the Collateral Trustee upon request for any transfer taxes or other taxes relating to the Trust Monies incurred in connection herewith. The Co-Issuers agree that, for tax reporting purposes, all interest and other income from investment of the Trust Monies shall, as of the end of each calendar year and to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Service, be reported as having been earned by the Company, whether or not such income was disbursed during such calendar year.

The Co-Issuers shall indemnify, defend and hold the Collateral Trustee harmless from and against any tax, late payment, interest, penalty or other cost or expense that may be assessed against the Collateral Trustee on or with respect to the Trust Monies and the investment thereof unless such tax, late payment, interest, penalty or other cost or expense was directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Trustee. The indemnification provided by this Section 12.06 is in addition to the indemnification provided in Section 11.16 and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Collateral Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(a) U.S. dollars are the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors under or in connection with the Notes, the Note Guarantees or this Indenture, including damages related thereto. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than U.S. dollars by a Holder (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Co-Issuers or otherwise) in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Co-Issuers shall only constitute a discharge to the Co-Issuers to the extent of the U.S. dollar amount which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so). If that U.S. dollar amount is less than the U.S. dollar amount expressed to be due to the recipient under the Notes, the Co-Issuers shall indemnify it against any loss sustained by it as a result as set forth in

-158-

Section 13.16(b). In any event, the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors shall indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any such purchase. For the purposes of this Section 13.16, it shall be sufficient for the Holder to certify in a satisfactory manner (indicating sources of information used) that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase of U.S. dollars been made with the amount so received in that other currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if a purchase of U.S. dollars on such date had not been practicable, on the first date on which it would have been practicable, it being required that the need for a change of date be certified in the manner mentioned above). The indemnities set forth in this Section 13.16 constitute separate and independent obligations from other obligations of the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Holder and shall continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under the Notes.

(b) The Co-Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, covenant and agree that the following provisions shall apply to conversion of currency in the case of the Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture:

(1) (A) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in, or enforcing the judgment of, any court in any country, it becomes necessary to convert into a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in any other currency (the “Base Currency”), then the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given or the order of enforcement is made, as the case may be (unless a court shall otherwise determine).

(B) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given or an order of enforcement is made, as the case may be (or such other date as a court shall determine), and the date of receipt of the amount due, the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors shall pay such additional (or, as the case may be, such lesser) amount, if any, as may be necessary so that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt shall produce the amount in the Base Currency originally due.

(2) In the event of the winding-up of any Co-Issuer or any Guarantor at any time while any amount or damages owing under the Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture, or any judgment or order rendered in respect thereof, shall remain outstanding, the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors shall indemnify and hold the Holders, the Trustee and Collateral Trustee harmless against any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates of exchange between (i) the date as of which the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the amount due or contingently due under the Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (other than under this subsection (b)(2)) is calculated for the purposes of such winding-up and (ii) the final date for the filing of proofs of claim in such winding-up. For the purpose of this subsection (b)(2), the final date for the filing of proofs of claim in the winding-up of any Co-Issuer or any Guarantor shall be the date fixed by the liquidator or otherwise in accordance with the relevant provisions of applicable law as being the latest practicable date as at which liabilities of such Co-Issuer or such Guarantor may be ascertained for such winding-up prior to payment by the liquidator or otherwise in respect thereto.

-159-

(c) The obligations contained in subsections (a), (b)(1)(B) and (b)(2) of this Section 13.16 shall constitute separate and independent obligations from the other obligations of the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors under this Indenture, shall give rise to separate and independent causes of action against the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors, shall apply irrespective of any waiver or extension granted by any Holder, the Trustee or Collateral Trustee or any of them from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order or the filing of any proof of claim in the winding-up of any Co-Issuer or any Guarantor for a liquidated sum in respect of amounts due hereunder (other than under subsection (b)(2) above) or under any such judgment or order. Any such deficiency as aforesaid shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by the Holders, the Trustee or Collateral Trustee, as the case may be, and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required by any Co-Issuer or any Guarantor or the liquidator or otherwise or any of them. In the case of subsection (b)(2) above, the amount of such deficiency shall not be deemed to be reduced by any variation in rates of exchange occurring between the said final date and the date of any liquidating distribution.

(d) The term “rate of exchange” shall mean the rate of exchange quoted by Wall Street Journal at 10:00 a.m. (New York time) for spot purchases of the Base Currency with the Judgment Currency other than the Base Currency referred to in subsections (b)(1) and (b)(2) above and includes any premiums and costs of exchange payable.

SECTION 13.17. Patriot Act.

The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee and Collateral Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee or Collateral Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as it may request in order for the Trustee and Collateral Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes generally may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency as set forth in the Indenture, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee and Collateral Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium or interest, including an accelerated payment or the failure to make a payment on the Change of Control Payment Date pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or the Asset Sale Payment Date pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Trustee will not be deemed to have knowledge of any Defaults or Events of Default unless written notice of an event, which is in fact a Default, has been delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the notice provisions in the Indenture and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture states that is a “Notice of Default.” The Trustee will have no duty to deliver a Notice of Acceleration. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Trustee, may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, or the premium on, the Notes, subject to certain conditions being met. The Co-Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying any Default or Event of Default within 30 days of becoming aware thereof.

SECTION 16. Additional Amounts. All payments made by the Co-Issuers under or with respect to this Note or by a Guarantor under or with respect to its Note Guarantee shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future Taxes to the extent provided in Section 4.20 of the Indenture.

The Notes will be secured by Liens and security interests in the Collateral that are subject only to Permitted Liens.

Each Holder, by accepting a Note, consents and agrees to all of the terms and provisions of the Security Documents, as the same may be amended from time to time pursuant to the respective provisions thereof and of the Indenture.

The Collateral Trustee, the Trustee and each Holder acknowledge that a release of any of the Collateral or Lien in accordance with the terms and provisions of any of the Security Documents and the terms and provisions of the Indenture will not be deemed for any purpose to be an impairment of the security under the Indenture.

A-9

No past, future or present director, Officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, agent or shareholder of the Co-Issuers or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Co-Issuers or any Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.
