COMMISSION RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT
COMMISSION RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT, dated as of 6th June 2005, by
and between ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ SHIPPING LIMITED, a Liberian corporation ("Seller"), and
CAPITAL MARITIME & TRADING CORP., a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands corporation ("Buyer").
Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this
Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I hereto.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS
Seller now owns the right to receive certain commission payments listed
in Exhibit II hereto (the "Commission Receivables") from Hyundai Mipo Dockyard
Co., Ltd. (the "Obligor") in accordance with and on the terms set forth under
the Commission Agreements (the "Commission Agreements") attached hereto as
Exhibit III. Seller wishes to sell, assign and transfer to Buyer, and Buyer
wishes to purchase from Seller, all of Seller's right, title and interest in and
to such Commission Receivables. Seller and Buyer intend the transactions
contemplated hereby to be true sales of the Commission Receivables from Seller
to Buyer, providing Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Commission
Receivables.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the
mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASE
SECTION 1.1 SALE AND PURCHASE OF COMMISSION RECEIVABLES.
-------------------------------------------
(a) On the date hereof (the "Purchase Date"), in consideration for
the Purchase Price and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
herein, Seller does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey
to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and
Buyer does hereby purchase from Seller (the "Purchase"), all of Seller's right,
title and interest in and to all Commission Receivables having an aggregate
Original Balance of $9,408,000. In accordance with the preceding sentence, on
the date hereof Buyer shall acquire all of Seller's right, title and interest in
and to all Commission Receivables. Buyer shall be obligated to pay the Purchase
Price for the Commission Receivables purchased hereunder in accordance with
Section 1.2.
(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Purchase of
Commission Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a sale, which sale is
absolute and irrevocable and provides Buyer with the full benefits of ownership
of the Commission Receivables. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed
pursuant to Section 1.3, the transfer of
2
Commission Receivables hereunder is made without recourse to Seller; provided,
however, that (i) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for all representations,
warranties, covenants and indemnities made by Seller pursuant to this Agreement,
and (ii) such transfer does not constitute and is not intended to result in an
assumption by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of Seller or any
other Person arising in connection with the Commission Receivables, the related
Commission Agreements or any other obligations of Seller, including any
obligations of Seller or any other Person arising from, relating to or in
connection with any commissions paid by Obligor to Seller or any other Person in
respect of any Commission Agreement.
SECTION 1.2 PAYMENT FOR THE PURCHASE.
------------------------
With respect to the Purchase, the aggregate price to be paid by Buyer
to Seller for such Purchase (the "Purchase Price") shall equal (subject to
adjustment for any Purchase Price Credit adjustments described below) the
product of (A) the Original Balance of such Commission Receivables on the
Purchase Date, multiplied by (B) one minus a Discount Factor of 5.312% (which
percentage is equal to the sum of the three-year U.S. Treasury rate on April 13,
2005 and 1%). For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchase Price as calculated in
accordance with the terms of this Section 1.2 is $8,908,247.04. The Discount
Factor is a percentage that has been calculated to provide Buyer with a
reasonable return on its investment in the Commission Receivables after taking
account of (i) the time value of money based upon the anticipated dates of
collection of the Commission Receivables and the cost to Buyer of financing its
investment in the Commission Receivables during such period and (ii) the risk of
nonpayment by the Obligor.
The Purchase Price shall be payable in full by Buyer to Seller on the
date hereof, and shall be paid to Seller by delivery of immediately available
funds to the account designated by Seller or as otherwise directed by Seller;
provided, however, that notwithstanding Buyer's payment of the Purchase Price on
the date hereof, the Purchase Price may be adjusted from time to time by any
Purchase Price Credits described in Section 1.3 that may arise after the
Purchase of the Commission Receivables.
SECTION 1.3 PURCHASE PRICE CREDIT ADJUSTMENTS.
---------------------------------
If, after the Purchase Date:
(a) a Commission Receivable is:
(i) canceled or terminated by, or refundable to, Obligor as a result of
Obligor's cancellation, rescission and/or termination of a related Shipbuilding
Contract ("Contract") for any reason other than the failure of Buyer or any
subsidiary of Buyer to pay the Obligor or otherwise to meet any of its or their
other obligations under any Commission Agreement or related Contract, or
(ii) reduced or canceled as a result of or in respect of any claim by any Person
against Seller (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related
transaction or an unrelated transaction), or
3
(iii) reduced as a result of any cash discount or any adjustment or otherwise by
Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, or
(iv) reduced or canceled on account of the failure of Seller or any Affiliate of
Seller to pay the Obligor or otherwise to meet any of its or their other
obligations under any Commission Agreement or related Contract, or
(b) any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section
2.1(g), Section 2.1(i), Section 2.1(k), Section 2.1(l) or Section 2.1(m) are not
true when made or deemed made with respect to any Commission Receivable, then,
in such event, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a "Purchase Price
Credit") against the Purchase Price otherwise payable hereunder equal to the sum
of (A) the amount of any such reduction, cancellation or refund of the
Commission Receivable and (B) any interest owed to the Obligor calculated in
accordance with the terms of the applicable Commission Agreement, and Seller
shall pay to Buyer the amount of such Purchase Price Credit in cash immediately.
Simultaneously with the payment of any Purchase Price Credit by Seller in
respect of a Commission Receivable under Section 1.3(b), such Commission
Receivable shall immediately and automatically be sold, assigned, transferred
and reconveyed (without recourse) by Buyer to Seller without any further action
by Buyer or any other Person.
ARTICLE II

hereunder), except, in any case, where such contravention or violation could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and no transaction
contemplated hereby requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law.

enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally and by
general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding in equity or at law).
(g) Accuracy of Information. All information heretofore furnished in writing by
it or any of its Affiliates to Buyer (or its assigns) for purposes of or in
connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby is, and

Receivable hereunder is or may be voidable under any section of any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting
creditors' rights generally applicable to it.

respect to each Commission Receivable is effective to create, and has created, a
legal, valid and
5
binding obligation of the Obligor to pay the Original Balance of the Commission
Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest thereon, enforceable
against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may
be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar
laws relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally and by general
principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding in equity or at law).

SECTION 5.1 INDEMNITIES BY SELLER.
---------------------
Without limiting any other rights that Buyer may have hereunder or

reasonable and documented attorneys' fees and disbursements (all of the
foregoing being collectively referred to as "Indemnified Amounts") awarded
against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of this
Agreement or the acquisition, either directly or indirectly, by Buyer of an
interest in the Commission Receivables, excluding, however:
(a) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts resulted from bad
faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Indemnified
Party seeking indemnification;
(b) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same includes losses in respect of
Commission Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the insolvency,
bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor; or
7
(c) taxes imposed by any jurisdiction in which such Indemnified Party is
organized, its principal executive office is located or it does business, on or
measured by the net income of such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that
nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the liability of Seller or limit
the recourse of Buyer to Seller for amounts otherwise specifically provided to

generality of the foregoing indemnification, but subject in each case to clauses
(a), (b) and (c) above, Seller shall indemnify Buyer for Indemnified Amounts
relating to or resulting from:
(i) any representation or warranty made by Seller (or any officers of Seller)
under or in connection with this Agreement, or any other information or report
delivered by Seller pursuant hereto for which Buyer has not received a Purchase
Price Credit that shall have been false or incorrect in any material respect
when made or deemed made;
(ii) the failure by the Seller to comply in any material respect with any
applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Commission Receivable or
Commission Agreement related thereto, or the nonconformity in any material
respect of any Commission Receivable or Commission Agreement included therein
with any such applicable law, rule or regulation or any failure of Seller to
keep or perform in any material respect any of its obligations, express or
implied, with respect to any Commission Agreement;
(iii) any failure of Seller to perform in any material respect its duties,
covenants or other obligations in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement;
(iv) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy
of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any Commission Receivable
(including, without limitation, a defense based on such Commission Receivable or
the related Commission Agreement not being a legal, valid and binding obligation
of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms);
(v) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this
Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the proceeds of the
Purchase Price hereunder, the ownership of the Commission Receivables or any
other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to Seller in which any
Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions
contemplated hereby;
(vi) any inability to litigate any claim by Buyer against any Obligor in respect
of any Commission Receivable as a result of such Obligor being immune from civil
and commercial law and suit on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from any
legal action, suit or proceeding;
(vii) any failure to vest and maintain vested in Buyer, or to transfer to Buyer,
legal and equitable title to, and ownership of, the Commission Receivables, in
each case, free and clear of any Adverse Claim;
(viii) any action or omission by Seller which reduces or impairs the rights of
Buyer with respect to any Commission Receivable or the value of any such
Commission Receivable;

provisions or common law or equitable action; and
