SECTION 2. Amount and Terms of Credit Facilities.

2.01 Commitments. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (each a “Loan” and, collectively, the “Loans”) to the Borrower, which Loans: (i) may be incurred pursuant to one drawing on the Borrowing Date, which shall occur in each case on or after the Effective Date and prior to October 15, 2010, (ii) shall be denominated in Dollars and (iii) shall be made by each such Lender in that aggregate principal amount which does not exceed the Commitment of such Lender. Once repaid, Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed.

2.02 Limitation on Number of Borrowings. No more than one Borrowing may occur.

-22-

2.03 Notice of Borrowing. (a) When the Borrower desires to incur the Loans hereunder, it shall give the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office at least three Business Days’ prior written notice of the Loans to be incurred hereunder, provided that any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 2:00 P.M. (New York time). Such written notice (a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.09, shall be irrevocable and shall be given by the Borrower in the form of Exhibit A, appropriately completed to specify (i) the principal amount of the Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto and (iv) to which account the proceeds of the Loans are to be deposited. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

(b) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to deliver a written Notice of Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.03(a), the Administrative Agent may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing, believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from the Chairman of the Board, Chief Administrative Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer or the Treasurer of the Borrower (or any other officer of the Borrower designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Administrative Officer, President or Treasurer of the Borrower as being authorized to give such notices under this Agreement) prior to receipt of Notice of Borrowing. In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing, absent manifest error.

2.04 Disbursement of Funds. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, no later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date specified in the Notice of Borrowing, each Lender with a Commitment will make available its pro rata portion of such Borrowing requested to be made on such date. All such amounts shall be made available in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office of the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower (prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York Time) on such day to the extent of funds actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon (New York Time) on such day) at the Payment Office, in the account specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.07. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

-23-

2.05 Notes. (a) The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.17 and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be evidenced by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”).

(b) The Note issued to each Lender that has a Commitment or an outstanding Loan shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to such Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the Borrowing Date, (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the outstanding participation in the Loan of such Lender at such time and be payable in the outstanding principal amount of the Loans evidenced thereby, (iv) mature on the Maturity Date, (v) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of Section 2.07 in respect of the Loans evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment as provided in Section 4.01, and mandatory repayment as provided in Section 4.02, and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(d) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of the Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and will, prior to any transfer of any of its Notes, endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in any such notation or endorsement shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall be delivered only to Lenders that at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by the Borrower that would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the Credit Documents. Any Lender that does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (d). At any time (including, without limitation, to replace any Note that has been destroyed or lost) when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans provided that, in the case of a substitute or replacement Note, the Borrower shall have received from such requesting Lender (i) an affidavit of loss or destruction and (ii) a customary lost/destroyed Note indemnity, in each case in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and such requesting Lender, and duly executed by such requesting Lender.

-24-

2.06 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Commitments, as the case may be. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make its pro rata portion of the Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

2.07 Interest. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from the date the proceeds thereof are made available to the Borrower until the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of the Loans at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin and the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

(b) If the Borrower fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Credit Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount (in the case of overdue interest to the extent permitted by law) from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which is, subject to paragraph (c) below, 2% plus the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non payment, constituted a Loan for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Administrative Agent. Any interest accruing under this Section 2.07(b) shall be immediately payable by the Borrower on demand by the Administrative Agent.

(c) If any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Loans which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to such Loan:

(i) the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and

(ii) the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be 2% plus the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

(d) Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.

(e) Accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable in respect of each Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, on any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(f) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the Loans to be made pursuant to the applicable Borrowing and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the respective Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

-25-

2.08 Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives the Notice of Borrowing (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), it shall have the right to elect, by giving the Administrative Agent notice thereof, the interest period (each an “Interest Period”) applicable to the Loans, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one, three or six month period (or such other period as all the Lenders may agree), provided that:

(i) all Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

(ii) the initial Interest Period for the Loans shall commence on the date of Borrowing of the Loans and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of the Loans shall commence on the day on which the immediately preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(iii) if any Interest Period relating to the Loans begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(iv) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the first succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for the Loans would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day;

(v) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period longer than one month may be selected at any time when an Event of Default (or, if the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have determined that such an election at such time would be disadvantageous to the Lenders, a Default) has occurred and is continuing;

(vi) no Interest Period shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date; and

(vii) the selection of Interest Periods shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.02.

If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to the Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable to the Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected a one month Interest Period to be applicable to the Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

-26-

2.09 Increased Costs, Illegality, Market Disruption, etc. (a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to the Loans because of, without duplication, any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, for example, but not limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loans or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or net profits of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Lender or the entity controlling such Lender is organized or in which the principal office of such Lender or the entity controlling such Lender or such Lender’s applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein), but without duplication of any amounts payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to Section 4.04, or (B) a change in official reserve requirements but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate; or

(ii) at any time, that the making or continuance of the Loans has been made unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order;

then, and in any such event, such Lender shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, the Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(a) and (b) (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased costs or reductions to such Lender or such other corporation and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.09(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.09(a) shall, absent manifest error be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.09(a), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amounts; provided that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(b), the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Borrower from its Obligations hereunder.

(b) At any time that the Loans is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.09(a)(i) or (ii), the Borrower may (and in the case of the Loans being affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.09(a)(ii) shall) either (x) if the Loans are then being made initially, cancel the respective Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date or the next Business Day that such Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.09(a)(i) or (ii) or (y) if the Loans are then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, in the case of any Loan, repay all outstanding Borrowings (within the time period required by the applicable law or governmental rule, governmental regulation or governmental order) which include such affected Loans in full in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 4.02; provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.09(b).

-27-

(c) If any Lender in good faith determines that after the Effective Date the introduction of or effectiveness of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or requested to be maintained by such Lender, or any corporation controlling such Lender, based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower agrees (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.09(c) shall, absent manifest error be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.09(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts; provided that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(b), the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Borrower from its Obligations hereunder.

(d) If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to the Loans for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender's share of the Loans for the relevant Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of:

(i) the Applicable Margin; and

(ii) the rate determined by each Lender and notified to the Administrative Agent, which expresses the actual cost to each such Lender of funding its participation in the Loans for a period equivalent to such Interest Period from whatever source it may reasonably select.

(e) If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Administrative Agent or the Borrower so require, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest. Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all parties. If no agreement is reached pursuant to this clause (e), the rate provided for in clause (d) above shall apply for the entire Interest Period.

-28-

2.10 Compensation. The Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(b) (to the extent applicable), to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting and the calculation of such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any such loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Loans but excluding any loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain in respect of Loans made to the Borrower: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.09(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 2.09(a), Section 4.01 or Section 4.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9) of the Loan, or assignment of its Loans pursuant to Section 2.12, occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of any other Default or Event of Default arising as a result of the Borrower’s failure to repay Loans or make payment on any Note held by such Lender when required by the terms of this Agreement.

2.11 Change of Lending Office. (a) Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.09(a)(i) or (ii), Section 2.09(b) or Section 4.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable good faith efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender provided in Section 2.09 and Section 4.04.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 2.09, 2.10 or 4.04 of this Agreement, unless a Lender gives notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay an amount under any such Section within one year after the later of (x) the date the Lender incurs the respective increased costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital or (y) the date such Lender has actual knowledge of its incurrence of the respective increased costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, then such Lender shall only be entitled to be compensated for such amount by the Borrower pursuant to said Section 2.09, 2.10 or 4.04, as the case may be, to the extent the costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital are incurred or suffered on or after the date which occurs one year prior to such Lender giving notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay the respective amounts pursuant to said Section 2.09, 2.10 or 4.04, as the case may be. This Section 2.11(b) shall have no applicability to any Section of this Agreement other than said Sections 2.09, 2.10 and 4.04.

-29-

2.12 Replacement of Lenders. (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or otherwise defaults in its obligations to make Loans, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.09(a)(i) or (ii), Section 2.09(b) or Section 4.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower material increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders, or (z) as provided in Section 11.12(b) in the case of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall have the right, if no Default or Event of Default will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective replacement, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferee or Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that:

(i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 11.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 11.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender; and

(ii) all obligations of the Borrower due and owing to the Replaced Lender at such time (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above) in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to (i) the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.09, 2.10, 4.04, 12.01 and 12.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender and (ii) if so requested by the Borrower, the Replaced Lender shall deliver all Notes in its possession to the Borrower.

SECTION 3. Fees and Reductions of Commitment.

3.01 Voluntary Termination of Unutilized Commitments. Upon at least three Business Day’s prior notice to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, without premium or penalty, to terminate or reduce the Total Commitment, in whole or in part, in integral multiples of $1,000,000, provided that each such reduction shall apply proportionately to permanently reduce the Commitment of each Lender.

-30-

3.02 Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Total Commitment (and the Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the earlier of (x) October 15, 2010, if the Borrowing Date has not occurred on or before such date, and (y) the Maturity Date.

SECTION 4. Prepayments; Payments; Taxes.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will execute and file, or cause to be filed, such financing or continuation statements under the UCC (or any non-U.S. equivalent thereto), or amendments thereto, such amendments or supplements to the Collateral Vessel Mortgage (including any amendments required to maintain Liens granted by the Collateral Vessel Mortgage pursuant to the effectiveness of this Agreement), and such other instruments or notices, as may be reasonably necessary, or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require, to protect and preserve the Liens granted or purported to be granted hereby and by the other Credit Documents.

The Collateral Agent will promptly send the Borrower a copy of any financing or continuation statements which it may file without the signature of the Borrower and the filing or recordation information with respect thereto.

(c) If at any time any Subsidiary of the Borrower owns the Collateral Vessel or owns, directly or indirectly, an interest in any Subsidiary which owns the Collateral Vessel and such Subsidiary has not otherwise satisfied the Collateral and Guaranty Requirements, the Borrower will cause such Subsidiary (and any Subsidiary which directly or indirectly owns the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary to the extent not a Credit Party) to satisfy the Collateral and Guaranty Requirements with respect to the Collateral Vessel as such Subsidiary would have been required to satisfy pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement had such Subsidiary been a Credit Party on the Borrowing Date.

7.12 Deposit of Earnings. Each Credit Party shall cause the earnings derived from the Mortgaged Vessel, to the extent constituting Earnings and Insurance Collateral, to be deposited by the respective account debtor in respect of such earnings into one or more of the Concentration Accounts maintained for such Credit Party or the Borrower from time to time. Without limiting any Credit Party’s obligations in respect of this Section 7.12, each Credit Party agrees that, in the event it receives any earnings constituting Earnings and Insurance Collateral, or any such earnings are deposited other than in one of the Concentration Accounts, it shall promptly deposit all such proceeds into one of the Concentration Accounts maintained for such Credit Party or the Borrower from time to time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Credit Party may transfer the Mortgaged Vessel to another Acceptable Flag Jurisdiction pursuant to a Flag Jurisdiction Transfer.

(b) The Parent will, and will cause the Subsidiary Guarantor which owns or operates the Mortgaged Vessel to, be qualified to own and operate the Mortgaged Vessel under the laws of Bermuda, or such other jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Vessel is permitted to be flagged in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Vessel Mortgage.

(iv) Permitted Encumbrances;

(v) Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents;

(vi) Liens arising out of judgments, awards, decrees or attachments with respect to which the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries shall in good faith be prosecuting an appeal or proceedings for review, provided that the aggregate amount of all such judgments, awards, decrees or attachments shall not constitute an Event of Default under Section 9.09;

(vii) Liens (other than any Lien imposed by ERISA) incurred or deposits made in the ordinary course of business in connection with workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance and other types of social security, Liens to secure the performance of tenders, statutory obligations (other than excise taxes), surety, stay, customs and appeal bonds, statutory bonds, bids, leases, government contracts, trade contracts, performance and return of money bonds and other similar obligations in each case incurred in the ordinary course of business (exclusive of obligations for the payment of borrowed money) and Liens arising by virtue of deposits made in the ordinary course of business to secure liability for premiums to insurance carriers; provided that the aggregate value of all cash and property at any time encumbered pursuant to this clause (vii) shall not exceed $5,000,000; and

(iv) following a Collateral Disposition permitted by this Agreement, the Subsidiary Guarantor which owned the Collateral Vessel that is the subject of such Collateral Disposition may dissolve, provided, that (x) the Net Cash Proceeds from such Collateral Disposition shall be applied as required by Section 4.02, to repay the Loans, (y) all of the proceeds of such dissolution shall be paid only to the Borrower and (z) no Event of Default is continuing unremedied at the time of such dissolution.

To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.12 or this Section 11.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.09, 2.10 or 4.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

-72-

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Notes or Loans to a trustee for the benefit of investors and in support of its obligation to such investors; provided, however, no such pledge shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledge for such Lender as a party hereto.

11.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Note would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Note to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

-73-

11.06 Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 11.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

11.07 Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Lenders). In addition, all computations determining compliance with Sections 8.07 through 8.09, inclusive, shall utilize accounting principles and policies in conformity with those in effect on the Effective Date (with the foregoing generally accepted accounting principles, subject to the preceding proviso, herein called “GAAP”). Unless otherwise noted, all references in this Agreement to GAAP shall mean generally accepted accounting principles as in effect in the United States.

(b) All computations of interest for Loans and Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or Fees are payable.

THE BORROWER FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH OPPOSITE ITS SIGNATURE BELOW, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY LENDER OR THE HOLDER OF ANY NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. IF AT ANY TIME DURING WHICH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT, THE BORROWER DOES NOT MAINTAIN A REGULARLY FUNCTIONING OFFICE IN NEW YORK CITY, IT WILL DULY APPOINT, AND AT ALL TIMES MAINTAIN, AN AGENT IN NEW YORK CITY FOR THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OR SUMMONS, AND WILL PROVIDE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS WRITTEN NOTICE OF THE IDENTITY AND ADDRESS OF SUCH AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS OR SUMMONS; PROVIDED THAT ANY FAILURE ON THE PART OF THE BORROWER TO COMPLY WITH THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS SENTENCE SHALL NOT IN ANY WAY PREJUDICE OR LIMIT THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OR SUMMONS IN ANY OTHER MANNER DESCRIBED ABOVE IN THIS SECTION 11.08 OR OTHERWISE PERMITTED BY LAW.

11.15 Reserved.

11.16 Confidentiality. (a) Subject to the provisions of clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 11.16, each Lender agrees that it will use its best efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of the Borrower (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors or counsel or to another Lender if the Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company or board of trustees in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 11.16 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 11.16(a) by the respective Lender, (b) as may be required in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (c) as may be required in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (d) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (e) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and (f) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender, provided that such prospective transferee expressly agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 11.16.

11.17 Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 11.17, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment and prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 11.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 11.17, except to the extent caused by the Administrative Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

11.18 Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower hereunder or under any of the Notes in the currency expressed to be payable herein or under the Notes (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s New York office on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency; if the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower.

12.01 Guaranty. In order to induce the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder, and induce the other Guaranteed Creditors to enter into Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the Parent from the proceeds of the Loans and the entering into of such Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements, the Parent hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors as follows: The Parent hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower to the Guaranteed Creditors. If any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder, the Parent, unconditionally and irrevocably, promises to pay such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent and/or the other Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, together with any and all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

12.02 Bankruptcy. Additionally, the Parent unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by the Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 9.04, and irrevocably and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States.

12.03 Nature of Liability. The liability of the Parent hereunder is primary, absolute and unconditional, exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether executed by any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of the Parent hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Borrower or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower, or (e) any payment made to any Guaranteed Creditor on the Guaranteed Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays to the Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and the Borrower waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, (f) any action or inaction by the Guaranteed Creditors as contemplated in Section 11.05, or (g) any invalidity, irregularity or enforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor.

The Parent waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by the Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the Parent.

12.05 Authorization. The Parent authorizes the Guaranteed Creditors without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute or this Agreement and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

(a) in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest or fees thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Parent Guaranty shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset thereagainst;

(h) take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of the Parent from its liabilities under this Parent Guaranty.

12.06 Reliance. It is not necessary for any Guaranteed Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

12.07 Subordination. Any indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter owing to the Parent is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of the Borrower to the Parent shall be collected, enforced and received by the Parent for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of the Parent under the other provisions of this Parent Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by the Parent of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any such indebtedness of the Borrower to the Parent, the Parent shall ▇▇▇▇ such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parent hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that the Parent will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Parent Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

12.08 Waiver. (a) The Parent waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable law and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever. The Parent waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of such payment, based on or arising out of the disability of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or the validity, legality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of such payment. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have against the Borrower, or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the Parent hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid. The Parent waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Parent against the Borrower or any other party or any security.

-83-

(b) The Parent waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Parent Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. The Parent assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which the Parent assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the other Guaranteed Creditors shall have any duty to advise the Parent of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

SCHEDULE VI

INSURANCE

Insurance to be maintained on the Mortgaged Vessel:

(a) The Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, at the Borrower’s expense, keep the Mortgaged Vessel insured with insurers and protection and indemnity clubs or associations of internationally recognized responsibility, and placed in such markets, on such terms and conditions, and through brokers, in each case reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and under forms of policies approved by the Collateral Agent against the risks indicated below and such other risks as the Collateral Agent may specify from time to time:

(i) Marine and war risk, including London Blocking and Trapping Addendum and Lost Vessel Clause, hull and machinery insurance in an amount in U.S. dollars equal to, except as otherwise approved or required in writing by the Collateral Agent, the greater of (x) the then full commercial value of the Mortgaged Vessel and (y) an amount which is equal to 120% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans at such time. The insured values for hull and machinery required under this clause (i) for the Mortgaged Vessel shall at all times be in an amount equal to the greater of (x) eighty per cent (80%) of the fair market value of the Mortgaged Vessel and (y) an amount which is equal to the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans at such time, and the remaining machine and war risk insurance required by this clause (i) may be taken out as hull and freight interest insurance.

(ii) Marine and war risk protection and indemnity insurance or equivalent insurance (including coverage against liability for passengers, fines and penalties arising out of the operation of the Mortgaged Vessel, including crew, pollution, spillage or leakage, and workmen’s compensation or longshoremen’s and harbor workers’ insurance as shall be required by applicable law) in such amounts approved by the Collateral Agent; provided, however, that insurance against liability under law or international convention arising out of pollution, spillage or leakage shall be in an amount not less than the greater of:

(y) the maximum amount available, as that amount may from time to time change, from the International Group of Protection and Indemnity Associations (the “International Group”) or alternatively such sources of pollution, spillage or leakage coverage as are commercially available in any absence of such coverage by the International Group as shall be carried by prudent shipowners for similar vessels engaged in similar trades plus amounts available from customary excess insurers of such risks as excess amounts shall be carried by prudent shipowners for similar vessels engaged in similar trades; and

(z) the amounts required by the laws or regulations of the United States of America or any applicable jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Vessel may be trading from time to time.

Schedule VI

Page 2

(iii) Collateral Agent’s interest insurance (including extended mortgagee’s interest-additional perils-pollution) coverage satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in an amount which is equal to 120% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans at such time; all such Collateral Agent’s interest insurance cover shall in the Collateral Agent’s discretion be obtained directly by the Collateral Agent and the Borrower shall on demand pay all costs of such cover; premium costs shall be reimbursed by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent.

(iv) While the Mortgaged Vessel is idle or laid up, at the option of the Borrower and in lieu of the above-mentioned marine and war risk hull insurance, port risk insurance insuring the Mortgaged Vessel against the usual risks encountered by like vessels under similar circumstances.

(b) The marine and commercial war-risk insurance required in this Schedule VI for each Mortgaged Vessel shall have deductibles no higher than the following (or such other amount that the Borrower and the Required Lenders may agree): (i) Hull and Machinery - U.S. $300,000 for all hull and machinery claims, and each accident or occurrence and (ii) Protection and Indemnity - U.S. $75,000 for collision liabilities, U.S. $50,000 for cargo claims, U.S. $35,000 for crew claims, U.S. $10,000 for passenger claims and U.S. $15,000 for all other claims, in each case each accident or occurrence.

All insurance maintained hereunder shall be primary insurance without right of contribution against any other insurance maintained by the Collateral Agent. Each policy of marine and war risk hull and machinery insurance with respect to the Mortgaged Vessel shall provide that the Collateral Agent shall be named in its capacity as Mortgagee and as a loss payee. Each entry in a marine and war risk protection indemnity club with respect to each Mortgaged Vessel shall note the interest of the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of their respective successors and assigns shall not be responsible for any premiums, club calls, assessments or any other obligations or for the representations and warranties made therein by the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or any other person.

(c) The Borrower will furnish the Collateral Agent from time to time on request, and in any event at least annually, a detailed report signed by a firm of marine insurance brokers acceptable to the Collateral Agent with respect to P & I entry, the hull and machinery and war risk insurance carried and maintained on the Mortgaged Vessel, together with their opinion as to the adequacy thereof and its compliance with the provisions of this Schedule VI. At the Borrower’s expense the Borrower will cause its insurance broker (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall be a different insurance broker from the firm of marine insurance brokers referred to in the immediately preceding sentence) and the P & I club or association providing P & I insurance referred to in part (a)(ii) of this Schedule VI, to agree to advise the Collateral Agent by telecopier or electronic mail confirmed by letter of any expiration, termination, alteration or cancellation of any policy, any default in the payment of any premium and of any other act or omission on the part of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of which the Borrower has knowledge and which might invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on the Mortgaged Vessel, and to provide an opportunity of paying any such unpaid premium or call, such right being exercisable by the Collateral Agent on the Mortgaged Vessel on an individual basis and not on a fleet basis. In addition, the Borrower shall promptly provide the Collateral Agent with any information which the Collateral Agent reasonably requests for the purpose of obtaining or preparing any report from the Collateral Agent’s independent marine insurance consultant as to the adequacy of the insurances effected or proposed to be effected in accordance with this Schedule VI as of the date hereof or in connection with any renewal thereof, and the Borrower shall upon demand indemnify the Collateral Agent in respect of all reasonable fees and other expenses incurred by or for the account of the Collateral Agent in connection with any such report, provided that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to such indemnity only for one such report during a period of twelve months.

Schedule VI

Page 3

The underwriters or brokers shall furnish the Collateral Agent with a letter or letters of undertaking to the effect that:

(i) they will hold the instruments of insurance, and the benefit of the insurances thereunder, to the order of the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of the loss payable clause referred to in the Assignment of Insurances for the Mortgaged Vessel;

(ii) they will have endorsed on each and every policy as and when the same is issued the loss payable clause and the notice of assignment referred to in the Assignment of Insurances for the Mortgaged Vessel; and

(iii) they will not set off against any sum recoverable in respect of a claim against the Mortgaged Vessel under the said underwriters or brokers or any other person in respect of any other vessel nor cancel the said insurances by reason of non-payment of such premiums or other amounts.

All policies of insurance required hereby shall provide for not less than 14 days prior written notice to be received by the Collateral Agent of the termination or cancellation of the insurance evidenced thereby. All policies of insurance maintained pursuant to this Schedule VI for risks covered by insurance other than that provided by a P & I Club shall contain provisions waiving underwriters’ rights of subrogation thereunder against any assured named in such policy and any assignee of said assured. The Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, assign to the Collateral Agent its rights under any policies of insurance in respect of the Mortgaged Vessel. The Borrower agrees that it shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, deliver, unless the insurances by their terms provide that they cannot cease (by reason of nonrenewal or otherwise) without the Collateral Agent being informed and having the right to continue the insurance by paying any premiums not paid by the Borrower, receipts showing payment of premiums for required insurance and also of demands from the Mortgaged Vessel’s P & I underwriters shall be provided to the Collateral Agent at least two (2) days before the risk in question commences.

(d) Unless the Collateral Agent shall otherwise agree, all amounts of whatsoever nature payable under any insurance must be payable to the Collateral Agent for distribution first to itself and thereafter to the Borrower or others as their interests may appear, provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, until otherwise required by the Collateral Agent by notice to the underwriters upon the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default hereunder, (i) amounts payable under any insurance on each Mortgaged Vessel with respect to protection and indemnity risks may be paid directly to (x) the Borrower to reimburse it for any loss, damage or expense incurred by it and covered by such insurance or (y) the person to whom any liability covered by such insurance has been incurred provided that the underwriter shall have first received evidence that the liability insured against has been discharged, and (ii) amounts payable under any insurance with respect to each Mortgaged Vessel involving any damage to each Mortgaged Vessel not constituting an Event of Loss, may be paid by underwriters directly for the repair, salvage or other charges involved or, if the Borrower shall have first fully repaired the damage or paid all of the salvage or other charges, may be paid to the Borrower as reimbursement therefor; provided, however, that if such amounts (including deductible) are in excess of U.S. $1,000,000, the underwriters shall not make such payment without first obtaining the written consent thereto of the Collateral Agent.

Schedule VI

Page 4

(e) All amounts paid to the Collateral Agent in respect of any insurance on the Mortgaged Vessel shall be disposed of as follows (after deduction of the expenses of the Collateral Agent in collecting such amounts):

(i) any amount which might have been paid at the time, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) above, directly to the Borrower or others shall be paid by the Collateral Agent to, or as directed by, the Borrower;

(ii) all amounts paid to the Collateral Agent in respect of an Event of Loss of the Mortgaged Vessel shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to the payment of the Indebtedness hereby secured pursuant to Section 4.02(c) of the Credit Agreement;

(iii) all other amounts paid to the Collateral Agent in respect of any insurance on the Mortgaged Vessel may, in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, be held and applied to the prepayment of the Obligations or to making of needed repairs or other work on the Mortgaged Vessel, or to the payment of other claims incurred by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Mortgaged Vessel, or may be paid to the Borrower or whosoever may be entitled thereto.

(f) In the event that any claim or lien is asserted against the Mortgaged Vessel for loss, damage or expense which is covered by insurance required hereunder and it is necessary for the Borrower to obtain a bond or supply other security to prevent arrest of the Mortgaged Vessel or to release the Mortgaged Vessel from arrest on account of such claim or lien, the Collateral Agent, on request of the Borrower, may, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, assign to any person, firm or corporation executing a surety or guarantee bond or other agreement to save or release the Mortgaged Vessel from such arrest, all right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent in and to said insurance covering said loss, damage or expense, as collateral security to indemnify against liability under said bond or other agreement.

(g) The Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent certified copies and, whenever so requested by the Collateral Agent, the originals of all certificates of entry, cover notes, binders, evidences of insurance and policies and all endorsements and riders amendatory thereof in respect of insurance maintained pursuant to Section 7.03 of the Credit Agreement and this Schedule VI for the purpose of inspection or safekeeping, or, alternatively, satisfactory letters of undertaking from the broker holding the same. The Collateral Agent shall be under no duty or obligation to verify the adequacy or existence of any such insurance or any such policies, endorsement or riders.

Schedule VI

Page 5

(h) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, execute or permit or willingly allow to be done any act by which any insurance may be suspended, impaired or cancelled, and that it will not permit or allow the Mortgaged Vessel to undertake any voyage or run any risk or transport any cargo which may not be permitted by the policies in force, without having previously notified the Collateral Agent in writing and insured the Mortgaged Vessel by additional coverage to extend to such voyages, risks, passengers or cargoes.

(i) In case any underwriter proposes to pay less on any claim than the amount thereof, the Borrower shall forthwith inform the Collateral Agent, and if a Default, an Event of Default or an Event of Loss has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the exclusive right to negotiate and agree to any compromise.

(j) The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with and satisfy all of the provisions of any applicable law, convention, regulation, proclamation or order concerning financial responsibility for liabilities imposed on the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or the Mortgaged Vessel with respect to pollution by any state or nation or political subdivision thereof and will maintain all certificates or other evidence of financial responsibility as may be required by any such law, convention, regulation, proclamation or order with respect to the trade in which the Mortgaged Vessel are from time to time engaged and the cargo carried by it.
