In that connection, each Borrower hereby (i) jointly and severally and irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety, but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with each other Borrower with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all such Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them and that the obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall be unconditional irrespective of any circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety, and (ii) further agrees that if any of such obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment or cash collateralization, by acceleration or otherwise), the Borrowers will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the delivery of funds to any Borrower under this Agreement shall constitute valuable consideration and reasonably equivalent value to all of the Borrowers for the purpose of binding them and their assets on a joint and several basis for the Obligations.

6. INTEREST AND RATE

6.1 Applicable Rate. The Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Tranche at the Applicable Rate. Accrued interest on each Tranche shall be payable in arrears on the last Banking Day of each Interest Period.

6.2 Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers agree that after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Loan and any other outstanding amount under the Transaction Documents shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In addition, each Borrower hereby promises to pay interest at the Default Rate on any other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Transaction Document which shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), for the period commencing on the due date thereof until but not including the date the same is paid. Any interest at the Default Rate (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of the then applicable Interest Period but will remain immediately due and payable.

6.3 Maximum Interest. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, the interest rate on the Loan shall in no event be in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

7. PAYMENTS

7.1 Place of Payments, No Set Off. All payments to be made hereunder by the Borrowers shall be made to the Facility Agent, not later than 3 p.m. New York time (any payment received after 3 p.m. New York time shall be deemed to have been paid on the next Banking Day) on the due date of such payment, at its office located at c/▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Structured Capital Management, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, or to such other office of the Facility Agent as the Facility Agent may direct, without set-off or counterclaim and free from, clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes; provided, however, that if the Borrowers shall at any time be required by applicable law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any amounts payable to the Lenders hereunder, then the Borrowers shall pay such additional amounts in Dollars as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Lenders after withholding or deduction shall equal the amounts which would have been received if such withholding or deduction were not required and, in the event any withholding or deduction is made, whether for Taxes or otherwise, the Borrowers shall promptly send to the Facility Agent such documentary evidence with respect to such withholding or deduction as may be required from time to time by the Lenders.

32

7.2 Tax Credits. If a Lender obtains the benefit of a credit against relief or remission for, or repayment of any Tax imposed by any taxing authority for all or part of the Taxes as to which the Borrowers has paid additional amounts as aforesaid, then such Lender shall pay an amount to the Borrowers which such Lender determines will leave it (after such payment) in the same position as it would have been had the Tax payment not been made by the Borrowers. Each Lender agrees that in the event that Taxes are imposed on account of the situs of its loans hereunder, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇, upon acquiring knowledge of such event, shall, if commercially reasonable and if, in the opinion of such Lender, it is not prejudicial to it, shift such loans on its books to another office of such Lender so as to avoid the imposition of such Taxes. Nothing contained in this clause shall in any way prejudice the right of the Lenders to arrange their tax affairs in such way as they, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. In particular, a Lender shall not be required to obtain such tax credit if this interferes with the way such Lender normally deals with its tax affairs.

7.3 Exclusion of Gross-up for Taxes. Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 7.1 to the extent that:

(b) the applicable Lender has changed its lending office and under applicable law (after taking into account relevant treaties and assuming that such Lender has provided all forms it may legally and truthfully provide) on the date such Lender changed its lending office withholding of Taxes would have been required on such payment, provided that this exclusion shall not apply to the extent such withholding does not exceed the withholding that would have been applicable to such payment and with respect to which such Lender would have been entitled to receive additional amounts pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof if such Lender had not changed its lending office; or

(c) withholding would not have been required on such payment if such Lender had complied with its obligations to deliver certain tax forms pursuant to Section 7.4 below.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, each of the Credit Parties and each of the Creditors and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Credit Parties may not assign any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of the Lenders.

(b) Each Lender shall be entitled to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement with the consent of the Borrowers (such consent shall be deemed to have been given if no express refusal is received within five (5) Banking Days) and the Facility Agent; provided, no such consent of the Borrowers shall be necessary in the case of the assignment to (i) to another Lender, (ii) an Affiliate, a Related Fund, another office or branch of any Lender, and (iii) any Person during the continuance of any Event of Default; and, in any case, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of any such assignment to the Borrowers and the Facility Agent and, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, pay the Facility Agent an assignment fee of $7,500 for each such assignment; provided, however, that any such assignment must be made pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and any assignee that is not a Lender shall deliver to the Facility Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Each of the Credit Parties will take all reasonable actions requested by the Facility Agent or any Lender to effect such assignment, including but not limited to, providing the documents required pursuant to Section 9.1(v).

48

(d) The Facility Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and principal amount of (and stated interest on) the Loan owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Facility Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignment fee referred to above and any written consent to such assignment required, the Facility Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to this Agreement, the Facility Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(f) In addition, any Lender may at any time sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Facility Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and that directly affects such Participant.

(g) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amount of (and stated interest on) each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (“Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is registered under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as owner of such participant for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

49

11.1 Illegality. In the event that by reason of any change in or introduction of any applicable law, regulation or regulatory requirement or in the interpretation thereof, a Lender has a reasonable basis to conclude that it has become unlawful for any Lender to maintain or give effect to its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall inform the Facility Agent and the Borrowers to that effect, whereafter the liability of such Lender to make its portion of the Loan available shall forthwith cease and the Borrowers shall be required either to repay to such Lender that portion of the Loan advanced by such Lender within sixty (60) days or, if such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ so agrees, to repay such portion of the Loan to the Lender on the last day of the calendar month in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 11.4. In any such event, but without prejudice to the aforesaid obligations of the Borrowers to repay such portion of the Loan, the Borrowers and the relevant Lender shall negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing on terms for making such portion of the Loan available from another jurisdiction or otherwise restructuring such portion of the Loan on a basis which is not unlawful.

11.2 Increased Costs. (a) If, after the Effective Date, any change in or introduction of applicable law, regulation or regulatory requirement (including any applicable law, regulation or regulatory requirement which relates to capital adequacy or liquidity controls or which affects the manner in which a Lender allocates capital resources under this Agreement), Basel III or CRD IV or any law or regulation that implements or applies Basel III or CRD IV, or in the interpretation or application thereof by any governmental or other authority, shall:

and the result of the foregoing is either to increase the cost to such Lender of making available or maintaining the Loan or any part thereof or to reduce the amount of any payment received by such Lender, then and, in any such case, if such increase or reduction, in the opinion of such Lender, materially affects the interests of such Lender under or in connection with this Agreement:

(b) such Lender shall notify the Facility Agent and the Borrowers of the happening of such event, and

(c) the Borrowers agree forthwith upon demand to pay to such Lender such amount as such Lender certifies to be necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or such reduction in respect of the Loan.

(d) In this Section 11.2,

50

11.3 Lender’s Certificate Conclusive. A certificate or determination notice of the Facility Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, as to any of the matters referred to in this Section 11 shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.

11.4 Compensation for Losses. Where the Loan or any portion thereof is to be repaid by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 11, the Borrowers agree simultaneously with such repayment to pay to the relevant Lenders all accrued interest to the date of actual payment on the amount repaid and all other sums then payable by the Borrowers to the relevant Creditor pursuant to this Agreement, together with such amounts as may be necessary and are certified by the relevant Lender to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any actual loss, premium or penalties incurred or to be incurred thereby on account of funds borrowed to make, fund or maintain the Loan or such portion thereof for the remainder (if any) of the then current Interest Period or Interest Periods, if any, but otherwise without penalty or premium.

12.1 Currency Conversion. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing a judgment in any court in any country, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (the “judgment currency”) an amount due in Dollars under any Transaction Document, then the conversion shall be made, in the discretion of the Facility Agent, at the rate of exchange prevailing either on the date of default or on the day before the day on which the judgment is given or the order for enforcement is made, as the case may be (the “conversion date”), provided that the Creditors shall not be entitled to recover under this Section 12.1 any amount in the judgment currency which exceeds at the conversion date the amount in Dollars due under any Transaction Document.

51

12.2 Change in Exchange Rate. If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the conversion date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrowers shall pay such additional amounts (if any, but, in any event, not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the judgment currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount then due under the Transaction Documents in Dollars; any excess over the amount due received or collected by any Lender shall be remitted to the Borrowers.

12.3 Additional Debt Due. Any amount due from any Credit Party under this Section 12 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under or in respect of the Transaction Documents.

12.4 Rate of Exchange. The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 12 means the rate at which the Facility Agent in accordance with its normal practices is able on the relevant date to purchase Dollars with the judgment currency and includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with such purchase.

13.1 Fees. The Borrowers shall pay all fees in the amount and at the times agreed in any Fee Letter.

Such stamp or other similar taxes and, if any, interest and penalties related thereto as may become payable after the Effective Date shall be paid immediately by the Borrowers to the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee or the Lenders, as applicable, when liability therefor is no longer contested by the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee or the Lenders or reimbursed immediately by the Borrowers to the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee or the Lenders after payment thereof (if the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee of the Lenders, in their sole discretion, choose to make such payment).

The service, as herein provided, of such summons or other legal process in any such action or proceeding shall be deemed personal service and accepted by such Credit Party as such, and shall be legal and binding upon such Credit Party for all the purposes of any such action or proceeding. Final judgment (a certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and of the amount of any indebtedness of the Credit Parties to the Lenders) against such Credit Party in any such legal action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment. Each Credit Party will advise the Facility Agent promptly of any change of address for the purpose of service of process. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Creditors may bring any legal action or proceeding in any other appropriate jurisdiction.

14.3 WAIVER OF IMMUNITY. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY OF THE CREDIT PARTIES HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM SUIT, JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION, EXECUTION OF A JUDGMENT, OR FROM ANY OTHER LEGAL PROCESS OR REMEDY) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, SUCH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT.

14.4 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED BY AND AMONG EACH OF THE CREDIT PARTIES AND EACH OF THE CREDITORS THAT EACH OF THEM HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY HERETO AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS.

15.1 Appointment of Agent. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee, respectively, to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee, respectively by the terms hereof and thereof.

accepts such appointment and declares that it holds all such property on trust for the Creditors on the terms contained in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (but shall have no obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents except those expressly set forth herein and therein). Neither the Security Trustee nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents or in connection therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

15.3 Distribution of Payments. Whenever any payment is received by the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee from the Borrowers or any other Credit Party for the account of the Lenders, or any of them, whether of principal or interest on the Notes, commissions, fees under Section 13, or otherwise, it will thereafter cause like funds relating to such payment to be promptly distributed ratably to the Lenders according to their respective Commitments in respect of a Tranche, in each case to be applied according to the terms of this Agreement. Unless the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date when any payment is due hereunder that the Borrowers will not make any payment on such date, the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment to the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, on the relevant date and the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders on such date a corresponding amount relating to such payment ratably to the Lenders according to their respective Commitments. If and to the extent that the Borrowers shall not have so made such payment available to the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, the Lenders and the Borrowers (but without duplication) severally agrees to repay to the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Lenders until the date such amount is repaid to the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, as calculated by the Facility Agent or Security Trustee to reflect its cost of funds.

15.4 Holder of Interest. The Facility Agent may treat each Lender as the holder of all of the interest of such Lender in the Loan unless and until the Facility Agent has received a copy of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement evidencing the transfer of all or any part of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s interest in the Loan.

15.5 No Duty to Examine, Etc. The Facility Agent shall not be under a duty to examine or pass upon the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any instrument, document or communication furnished pursuant to this Agreement or in connection therewith or in connection with any other Transaction Document and the Facility Agent shall be entitled to assume that the same are valid, effective and genuine, have been signed or sent by the proper parties and are what they purport to be.

15.6 Facility Agent and Security Trustee as Lenders. With respect to that portion of the Loan made available by it, each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall include the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee in their capacity as Lenders. Each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrowers as if it were not the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be.

(a) Each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee shall in all cases be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders (or, where expressly required hereby, all the Lenders), and any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such instructions shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

15.9 Assumption re Event of Default. Except as otherwise provided in Section 15.15, the Facility Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the Facility Agent has been notified by the Borrowers of such fact or has been notified by a Lender that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ considers that an Event of Default or such an event (specifying in detail the nature thereof) has occurred and is continuing.

The Lenders agree to indemnify each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers), pro rata according to the respective amounts of their interests in the Loan, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in investigating claims and defending itself against such liabilities) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against, the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, any action taken or omitted by the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, hereunder or thereunder or the preparation, administration, amendment or enforcement of, or waiver of any provision of, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, except that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Facility Agent’s or Security Trustee’s, as the case may be, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

15.12 Consultation with Counsel. Each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee may consult with legal counsel selected by the Facility Agent or Security Trustee, as the case may be and shall not be liable for any action taken, permitted or omitted by it in good faith in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

15.13 Resignation. Each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee may resign at any time by giving sixty (60) days’ written notice (the “Resignation Effective Date”) thereof to the Creditors and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Facility Agent or Security Trustee, as the case may be. If no successor Facility Agent or Security Trustee, as the case may be, shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within sixty (60) days after the retiring Facility Agent’s or Security Trustee’s, as the case may be, giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Facility Agent or Security Trustee, as the case may be, may, on behalf of the Creditors, appoint a successor Facility Agent or Security Trustee, as the case may be, which shall be a bank or trust company of recognized standing. The appointment by the Majority Lenders of any successor to the Facility Agent or Security Trustee shall (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrowers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. After any resignation of the Facility Agent or Security Trustee hereunder, the provisions of this Section 15 shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted by it while acting as Facility Agent or Security Trustee, as the case may be. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

15.14 Representations of Lenders. Each Creditor represents and warrants to each other Creditor that:

56

15.15 Notification of Event of Default. If the Facility Agent has received a notice from the Borrowers or any Creditor about the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Creditors of such Default or Event of Default.

15.16 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Creditor shall obtain any payment (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 Notes or the Security Documents, or otherwise) on account of the amounts advanced and owing to it (other than pursuant to Sections 11.2 or 11.4 or otherwise in respect of any gross up for Taxes pursuant to Section 7.1) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the amounts advanced obtained by all the Creditors, such Creditor shall forthwith purchase from the other Creditors such participations in the amounts advanced owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Creditor to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Creditor, such purchase from each Creditor shall be rescinded and such Creditor shall repay to the purchasing Creditor the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Creditor’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Creditor’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Creditor) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Creditor in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrowers agree that any Creditor so purchasing a participation from another Creditor pursuant to this Section 15.16 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Creditor were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

15.17 Erroneous Payments.

(a) With respect to any payment that the Facility Agent makes to any Lender or other Creditor as to which the Facility Agent determines that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the Borrowers have not in fact made the corresponding payment to the Facility Agent; (2) the Facility Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount(s) received by it from the Borrowers either individually or in the aggregate (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Facility Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Creditors severally agrees to repay to the Facility Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Creditor, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Facility Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. A notice of the Facility Agent to any Person under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time the Facility Agent determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that it has made a payment hereunder in error to any Lender or other Creditor, whether or not in respect of any obligation or liability due and owing in connection herewith to a Creditor at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each such Person receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Facility Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Person in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount was received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Facility Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. A notice of the Facility Agent to any Person under this clause (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. To the extent permitted by law, each Lender and each other Creditor irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another), “good consideration”, “change of position” or similar defenses (whether at law or in equity) to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Facility Agent shall inform each Lender or other Creditor that

57

received a Rescindable Amount promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Person comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount. Each Person’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 15.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Facility Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

(c) Each Lender or Creditor hereby authorizes the Facility Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Creditor under any Transaction Document against any amount due to the Facility Agent under immediately preceding clauses (a) or (b) under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d) The parties hereto agree that payment of a Rescindable Amount shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Credit Party under the Transaction Documents, except, in each case, to the extent such Rescindable Amount is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Rescindable Amount that is, comprised of funds received by the Facility Agent from the Borrowers or any other Credit Party for the purpose of making such Rescindable Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, no provision in this Section 15.17 shall be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for) or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the obligations of the Borrowers or other Credit Party under the Transaction Documents relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the obligations that would have been payable had the erroneous Rescindable Amount not been paid by the Facility Agent.

16.1 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including prepaid overnight courier, facsimile transmission, electronic mail or similar writing) and shall be given to the Borrowers and/or the Facility Agent and/or the Security Trustee at its respective address or facsimile number set forth below and to the Creditors at their addresses and facsimile numbers set forth in Schedule 1 hereto or at such other address or facsimile numbers as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the other party hereto. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by facsimile, when such facsimile is transmitted to the facsimile number specified in this Section 16.1 and telephonic confirmation of receipt thereof is obtained, or (ii) if given by mail, prepaid overnight courier or any other means, when received at the address specified in this Section 16.1 or when delivery at such address is refused.

17. MISCELLANEOUS

17.1 Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Facility Agent and each Creditor and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held (including, but not limited to, the Earnings Account) and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Facility Agent, such Creditor or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers against any and all of the obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under the Transaction Documents, irrespective of whether the Facility Agent or such Creditor shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The Facility Agent and each Creditor agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Facility Agent and each Creditor and their respective Affiliates under this Section 17.1 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that the Facility Agent, such Creditor, the Security Trustee and their respective Affiliates may have. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 17 or elsewhere herein, the Facility Agent may not discriminate against the Creditors generally in favor of its own interests when exercising setoff rights against amounts received from the Borrowers hereunder, including any amount in any Earnings Account.

17.2 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement but no failure or delay on the part of any of the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee or the other Creditors to exercise any power or right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee or the other Creditors of any power or right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

59

17.3 Invalidity. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document would, if given effect, be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law applicable in any relevant jurisdiction, said provision shall not be enforceable against the Borrowers or other applicable Credit Party, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions herein or therein contained shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

17.4 References. References herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules are to be construed as references to sections of, exhibits to, and schedules to, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents as applicable, unless the context otherwise requires.

17.5 Further Assurances. Each Credit Party agrees that if this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents shall, in the reasonable opinion of the Creditors, at any time be deemed by the Creditors for any reason insufficient in whole or in part to carry out the true intent and spirit hereof or thereof, it will execute or cause to be executed such other and further assurances and documents as in the opinion of the Creditors may be required in order to more effectively accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and/or the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, to create, perfect, vest in favor of the Security Trustee or protect the priority of security conferred or intended to be conferred by or pursuant to the Transaction Documents).

17.6 Prior Agreements, Merger. Any and all prior understandings and agreements heretofore entered into between the Credit Parties on the one part, and any of the Creditors, on the other part, relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, whether written or oral are superseded by and merged into this Agreement and the other agreements (the forms of which are exhibited hereto) to be executed and delivered in connection herewith to which the Credit Parties and the Creditors, as the case may be, are parties, which alone fully and completely express the agreements between the Credit Parties and the Creditors.

17.7 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto. Neither this Agreement, the Notes nor any of the Security Documents nor any terms hereof or thereof may be waived or amended unless such waiver or amendment is approved by the Credit Parties and the Majority Lenders, provided, that no such waiver or amendment shall, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (i) reduce the interest rate (other than any waiver of any default interest) or extend the time of a scheduled payment of principal or interest or fees (but not prepayment) on the Loan or reduce the principal amount of the Loan hereunder, (ii) increase or decrease the Commitment of any Lender or subject any Lender to any additional obligation, (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 17.7, (iv) amend the definition of Majority Lenders (including component parts thereof), (v) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrowers of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (vi) release any Transaction Party from any of its obligations under any Transaction Document except as expressly provided herein or in such Transaction Document; provided, further, that no such waiver or amendment shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee acting as such at the effective date of such agreement, as applicable.

17.8 Assumption re Event of Default. The Creditors shall be entitled to assume that no Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the Creditors have been notified by the Borrowers of such fact. In the event that any Creditor shall have been notified, in the manner set forth in the preceding sentence, by the Borrowers of any Event of Default or Default, such Creditor shall promptly notify the Facility Agent in writing, and the Majority Lenders may take action and assert such rights under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document or as provided for under applicable law as they determine are appropriate.

60

17.9 Indemnification. Neither any Creditor nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Credit Party for any action taken or not taken thereby in connection herewith in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each of the Credit Parties hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Creditors, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements of every nature and character (other than taxes) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of the execution or delivery of the Transaction Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby including, without limitation, (a) any actual or proposed use by the Borrowers of the proceeds of the Loan, (b) the reversal or withdrawal of any provisional credits granted by the Facility Agent upon the transfer of funds from lock box, bank agency, concentration accounts or otherwise under any cash management arrangements with the Borrowers, (c) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort, or any other theory, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereof, (d) any civil penalty or fine assessed by OFAC or another Governmental Authority against the Facility Agent or any other Creditor as a result of conduct of any Credit Party or any Relevant Individuals thereof that violates a Sanctions Law or Anti-Money Laundering Law, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof or (e) with respect to the Credit Parties and their respective properties and assets, the violation of any Environmental Law, the presence, disposal, escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, release or threatened release of any Materials of Environmental Concern or any action, suit, proceeding or investigation brought or threatened with respect to any Materials of Environmental Concern relating, in each case, to any circumstance or occurrence arising in relation to, or during the time of, the management, use, control ownership or operation of property or assets by the Credit Parties, in each case including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding; provided, however, the relevant Credit Party shall not be responsible for any liabilities, losses, damages and/or expenses under this Section 17.9 caused by an Indemnitee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing indemnification shall not apply to the extent that any claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits or costs arise with respect to any Vessel from and after such time as any Creditor (or any designee thereof) takes possession or control of such Vessel (except to the extent that any such matter arising under subsection 17.9(e) hereof relates to any circumstance or occurrence arising prior to such time). In litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Creditors and their Affiliates shall be entitled to select their own counsel and, if arising after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Borrowers agree to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. To the extent that the respective interests of the Creditors in such litigation do not, and reasonably could not be expected to, conflict (such determination of existing or potential conflict to be made by the Creditors using their reasonable good faith judgment), the Creditors shall make reasonable efforts to use common counsel in connection with such litigation and the preparation therefor. If, and to the extent that the obligations of any Credit Party under this Section 17.9 are unenforceable for any reason, such Credit Party hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. The covenants contained in this Section 17.9 shall survive payment or satisfaction in full of the Loan and all other obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

17.10 USA Patriot Act Notice; Bank Secrecy Act. The Facility Agent hereby notifies each of the Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56, signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “Patriot Act”), and the policies and practices of the Facility Agent, each of the Creditors is required to obtain, verify and record certain information and documentation that identifies each of the Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of each of the Credit Parties and such other information that will allow the Creditors to identify each of the Credit Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act. In addition, each of the Credit Parties shall comply, and cause any of its subsidiaries to comply, with all applicable Bank Secrecy Act laws and regulations, as amended.

61

17.11 CEA Eligible Contract Participant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document, no Credit Party shall be deemed to guarantee, become jointly and severally obligated for or pledge assets in support of a “swap,” as defined in Section 1(a)(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) of another Credit Party if at the time that swap is entered into, such Credit Party is not an “eligible contract participant” as defined in Section 1(a)(18) of the CEA.

17.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Facility Agent, Security Trustee and the Creditors agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority or government agency purporting to have jurisdiction and/or supervision over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 17.13, to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrowers and their obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder or (iii) to any credit insurance provider; (g) on a confidential basis to any rating agency in connection with rating the Parent Guarantor or its Subsidiaries or the Loan; (h) with the consent of the Borrowers; or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 17.13, or (y) becomes available to the Facility Agent, Security Trustee, any Creditor or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Credit Party. In addition, the Facility Agent, Security Trustee and the Creditors may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Facility Agent, Security Trustee and the Creditors in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, and the Commitments. It is understood and agreed that any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 17.13 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

17.13 Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be deemed as effective as delivery of an originally executed counterpart. In the event that any Credit Party delivers an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission, such Credit Party shall also deliver an originally executed counterpart as soon as practicable, but the failure of such Credit Party to deliver an originally executed counterpart of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of this Agreement.

17.14 Headings. In this Agreement, section headings are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be taken into account in the interpretation of this Agreement.

17.15 Publication. The Facility Agent may, at its option and sole expense, publish information about its participation in the Loan and for such purpose only, use the logo and trademark of the Borrowers, the Parent Guarantor or any other Credit Party.

62

17.16 Termination; Release.

(a) This Agreement shall terminate and the Collateral shall be automatically released from the Lien of this Agreement when the Facility Agent notifies the Borrowers that the principal of and interest and premium (if any) on the Loan, all fees and all other expenses or amounts payable under this Agreement shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim or demand has been made and that, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents, survive the termination thereof). Upon termination hereof, the security interests granted by the Security Documents shall automatically terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Credit Party. Upon termination hereof or any release of Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the applicable Creditor shall promptly execute and deliver to such Credit Party all releases or other documents reasonably necessary and in form reasonably satisfactory to the Credit Party, any vessel registry or other registry, as applicable, and take such reasonable further actions for the release of such Collateral from the security interests created thereby, upon the written request and at the sole cost and expense of the Credit Parties, assign, transfer and deliver to the Credit Parties, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty of any kind (either express or implied) by such Creditor (except that such Creditor has not assigned or otherwise transferred its security interest in the Collateral), such of the Collateral to be released (in the case of a release) as may be in possession or control of such Creditor and as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and, with respect to any other Collateral, with such endorsements or proper documents and instruments (including UCC-3 termination statements or releases) acknowledging the termination hereof or the release of such Collateral, as the case may be.

(b) If any of the Collateral is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Credit Party (other than to another Credit Party) in a transaction permitted by this Agreement, then the lien created pursuant to any Security Document in such Collateral shall be released, and the applicable Creditor, at the request and sole expense of such Credit Party, shall promptly execute and deliver to such Credit Party all releases or other documents reasonably necessary and in form reasonably satisfactory to the Credit Party and take such reasonable further actions for the release of such Collateral from the security interests created thereby, provided that the applicable Credit Party shall have delivered to such Creditor, at least five (5) Banking Days (or such shorter period of time acceptable to such Creditor) prior to the date of the proposed release, a certificate of a Responsible Officer of such Credit Party with request for release identifying the relevant Collateral and certifying that such transaction is in compliance with this Agreement and the Security Documents.

18. GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY.

18.1 Guarantee and Indemnity. In order to induce the Lenders to make the Loan to the Borrowers, the Relevant Parent irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) guarantees to each Creditor, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, punctual payment and performance by the Borrowers of all their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents;

(b) undertakes with each Creditor that whenever any of the Borrowers y does not pay any amount (whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise) when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) under or in connection with any Transaction Document, the Relevant Parent shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it were the primary obligor; and

63

(c) agrees with each Creditor that if any Obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Creditor immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of any of the Borrowers not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Transaction Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by the Relevant Parent under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Section 18 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

18.2 Continuing Guarantee. This guarantee is a continuing guarantee that shall remain in full force and effect until the irrevocable payment and performance in full by any Credit Party under the Transaction Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part. This guarantee constitutes a guarantee of punctual performance and payment and not merely of collection.

18.3 Reinstatement. If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Credit Party or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Creditor in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is rescinded, discharged, avoided or reduced, or must be restored or returned, upon insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of the Relevant Parent under this Section 18 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

18.4 Waiver of Defenses. The obligations of the Relevant Parent under this Section 18 and in respect of any security provided by or pursuant to the Security Documents are irrevocable, absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected or discharged by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Section 18.4, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Section 18 or in respect of any security provided by or pursuant to the Security Documents (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Creditor) including (and the Relevant Parent hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to):

(a) any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Credit Party or other person;

(b) the release of any other Credit Party or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the Group;

(c) the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect or delay in perfecting, or refusal or neglect to take up or enforce, or delay in taking or enforcing any rights against, or security over assets of, any Credit Party or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realize the full value of any collateral;

(d) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the corporate or company structure, shareholders, members or status of a Credit Party or any other person (including without limitation any change in the holding of such Credit Party’s or other person’s Equity Interests);

(e) any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of any Transaction Document or any other document or security including, without limitation, any change in the purpose of, any extension of or any increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Transaction Document or other document or security;

(f) any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Transaction Document or any other document or security;

64

(g) any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings;

(h) any election of remedies by a Creditor that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of the Relevant Parent or other rights of the Relevant Parent to proceed against any Credit Party, any other guarantor or any other person or entity or any collateral;

(i) any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the obligations of the Relevant Parent hereunder; or

(j) any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Credit Party.

18.5 Other Waivers. The Relevant Parent hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives: promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of non-performance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice and this guarantee and any requirement that a Creditor protect, secure, perfect or insure any security, Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against a Credit Party, any other guarantor or any other person or entity or any collateral;

(b) any right to revoke this guarantee; and

(c) any duty on the part of a Credit Party to disclose to the Relevant Parent any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of that Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by any Creditor.

18.6 Acknowledgment of Benefits. The Relevant Parent acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Transaction Documents and that the waivers set forth in this Section 18 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

18.7 Immediate Recourse. The Relevant Parent waives any right it may have of first requiring any Creditor (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person (including without limitation to commence any proceedings under any Transaction Document or to enforce any security provided by or pursuant to the Security Documents) before claiming or commencing proceedings under this Section 18. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Transaction Document to the contrary.

18.8 Appropriations. Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Borrowers under or in connection with the Transaction Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Creditor (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

(a) refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Creditor (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and the Relevant Parent shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

(b) hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from the Relevant Parent or on account of the Relevant Parent’s liability under this Section 18.

65

18.9 Deferral of Relevant Parent’s Rights. All rights which the Relevant Parent at any time has (whether in respect of this guarantee, a mortgage or any other transaction) against the Borrowers, any other guarantor or their respective assets shall be fully subordinated to the rights of the Creditors under the Transaction Documents and until all obligations under the Transaction Documents are paid in full and unless the Facility Agent otherwise directs, the Relevant Parent will not exercise its rights which it may have (whether in respect of any Transaction Document to which it is a party or any other transaction) by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Section 18:

(a) to be indemnified by any Credit Party;

(b) to claim any contribution from any third party providing security for, or any other guarantor of, any Credit Party’s obligations under the Transaction Documents;

(c) to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Creditors under the Transaction Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Transaction Documents by any Creditor;

(d) to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Credit Party to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which the Relevant Parent has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Section 18.1;

(e) to exercise any right of set-off against any Credit Party; and/or

(f) to claim or prove as a creditor of any Credit Party in competition with any Creditor.

If the Relevant Parent receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Creditors by the Credit Party under or in connection with the Transaction Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Creditors and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Facility Agent or as the Facility Agent may direct for application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

18.10 Additional Security. This guarantee and any other security or Lien given by the Relevant Parent is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by, and shall not prejudice, any other guarantee or security or any other right of recourse now or subsequently held by any Creditor or any right of set-off or netting or right to combine accounts in connection with the Transaction Documents.

18.11 Independent Obligations. The obligations of the Relevant Parent under or in respect of this guarantee are independent of any other obligations of any other Credit Party under or in respect of the Transaction Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Relevant Parent to enforce this guarantee irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Credit Party or whether any other Credit Party is joined in any such action or actions.

18.12 Limitation of Liability. The Relevant Parent and each of the Creditors hereby confirms that it is its intention that the obligations under this guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Relevant Parent and each of the Creditors hereby irrevocably agrees that the obligations guaranteed by the Relevant Parent under this guarantee shall be limited to such amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of the Relevant Parent that are relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of the Relevant Parent in respect of such maximum amount not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

66

18.13 Applicability of Provisions of Guarantee to Other Security. Sections 18.2, 18.3, 18.4, 18.5, 18.6, 18.7, 18.8, 18.9, 18.10, 18.11 and 18.12 shall apply, with any necessary modifications, to any security or Lien which the Relevant Parent creates (whether at the time at which it signs this Agreement or at any later time) to secure the obligations under the Transaction Documents or any part of them.

19. SUBORDINATION OF INTERCOMPANY DEBT.

19.1 Subordination.

(a) Subordination of Liabilities. Each Credit Party, for itself, its successors and assigns, hereby subordinates its claims with respect to all Intercompany Debt, and all amounts owing in respect thereof (all such claims and amounts in respect of such Intercompany Debt, “Subordinated Indebtedness”), of any other Credit Party owing to it, whether now existing or hereafter arising, to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations due to the Creditors under any Transaction Document always subject to and in accordance with the subordination provisions set forth in this Section 19.1 (including any exceptions); provided, that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each Credit Party may repay any Intercompany Debt in full or in part subject to Section 9.2(i) hereof.

(b) Payor Not to Make Payments with Respect to Subordinated Indebtedness in Certain Circumstances.

(i) Upon the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness (including interest thereon or fees or any other amounts owing in respect thereof), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, all obligations owing in respect of the Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full in cash in accordance with the terms thereof, before any payment of any kind or character, whether in cash, property, securities or otherwise, is made on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness then outstanding.

(ii) No Credit Party that is a payor under any Intercompany Debt shall, directly or indirectly (and no person or other entity on behalf of such Credit Party may), make any payment of any Subordinated Indebtedness until all Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. Each Credit Party that is a holder of the Subordinated Indebtedness hereby agrees that, so long as any such Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it will not sue for, or otherwise take any action to enforce the payor’s obligations to pay, amounts owing in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness. Each Credit Party that is a holder of the Subordinated Indebtedness understands and agrees that to the extent that sub-clause (i) of this clause (b) or this sub-clause

(ii) prohibits the payment of any Subordinated Indebtedness, such unpaid amount shall not constitute a payment default under the Subordinated Indebtedness and the holder(s) of the Subordinated Indebtedness may not sue for, or otherwise take action to enforce the payor’s obligation to pay such amount, provided that such unpaid amount shall remain an obligation of the payor to the holder(s) of the Subordinated Indebtedness pursuant to the terms of the Subordinated Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as an Event of Default is not continuing, each Credit Party will be entitled to make (and any person or other entity on behalf of the such Credit Party shall be entitled to make) and the holder(s) of any Subordinated Indebtedness will be entitled to receive, payments of principal and/or interest under the Subordinated Indebtedness.

(iii) In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding sub-clauses (i) and

67

(ii) of this clause (b), any Credit Party that is a payor under any Subordinated Indebtedness (or any Person on behalf of such Credit Party) makes (or the holder(s) of the Subordinated Indebtedness receives) any payment on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness at a time when payment is not permitted by said sub-clause (i) or (ii), such payment shall be held by the holder(s) of the Subordinated Indebtedness, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered to, the Facility Agent, for application pro rata to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in cash in accordance with the terms of such Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

(c) Subordination to Prior Payment of All Senior Indebtedness on Dissolution, Liquidation or Reorganization of a Credit Party. Upon any distribution of assets of any Credit Party upon dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of such Credit Party (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise):

(i) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the terms thereof (including, without limitation, post-petition interest at the rate provided in the documentation with respect to the Senior Indebtedness, whether or not such post-petition interest is an allowed claim against the debtor in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding) before the holder(s) of the Subordinated Indebtedness is entitled to receive any payment of any kind or character on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness;

(ii) any payment or distributions of assets of such Credit Party of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities to which the holder(s) of any outstanding Subordinated Indebtedness would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 19.1, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or other trustee or agent, directly to the Facility Agent, to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness; and

(iii) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (c), any payment or distribution of assets of such Credit Party of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by the holder(s) of the Subordinated Indebtedness on account of Subordinated Indebtedness before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash in accordance with the terms thereof, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for and shall be paid over to the Facility Agent for application to the payment of such Senior Indebtedness until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in cash in accordance with the terms thereof, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

(d) Obligation of the Payor Unconditional. Nothing contained in this Section 19.1 or in the Subordinated Indebtedness is intended to or shall impair, as between the payor of any Subordinated Indebtedness on the one hand and the holder(s) of the Subordinated Indebtedness on the other hand, the obligation of the payor, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the holder(s) of the Subordinated Indebtedness the principal of and interest on the Subordinated Indebtedness as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the holder(s) of the Subordinated Indebtedness and creditors of the payor other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the holder(s) of the Subordinated Indebtedness from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon an event of default under the Subordinated Indebtedness, subject to the provisions of this Section 19.1 and the rights, if any, under this Section 19.1 of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property, or securities of the payor of any Subordinated Indebtedness received upon the exercise of any such remedy. Upon any distribution of assets of the payor of any Subordinated Indebtedness referred to in this Section 19.1, the holder(s) of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization

68

proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution to the holder(s) of the Subordinated Indebtedness, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of such payor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Section 19.1.

(e) Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts or Omissions of Payor or Holders of Senior Indebtedness. No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Credit Party or by any act or failure to act in good faith by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by any Credit Party with the terms and provisions of the Subordinated Indebtedness, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. The holders of the Senior Indebtedness may, without in any way affecting the obligations of the holder(s) of the Subordinated Indebtedness with respect hereto, at any time or from time to time and in their absolute discretion, change the manner, place or terms of payment of, change or extend the time of payment of, or renew, increase or otherwise alter, any Senior Indebtedness or amend, modify or supplement any agreement or instrument governing or evidencing such Senior Indebtedness or any other document referred to therein, or exercise or refrain from exercising any other of their rights under the Senior Indebtedness including, without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder and the release of any collateral securing such Senior Indebtedness, all without notice to or assent from the holder(s) of the Subordinated Indebtedness.

(f) Senior Indebtedness. The term “Senior Indebtedness” shall mean all obligations of the Credit Parties under, or in respect of, this Agreement and each other Transaction Document.

(viii) to take appropriate judicial proceedings for the foreclosure of this Mortgage and/or for the enforcement of the Mortgagee’s rights hereunder or otherwise; recover judgment for any amount due by the Owner in respect of the Credit Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage, or any of the other relevant Transaction Documents and collect the same out of any property of the Owner;

(ix) to sell the Vessel at public auction, free from any claim of or by the Owner of any nature whatsoever by first giving notice of the time and place of sale with a general description of the property in the following manner:

Such sale of the Vessel may be held at such place as the Mortgagee in such notices may have specified, or such sale may be adjourned by the Mortgagee from time to time by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale and without further notice or publication the Mortgagee may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned; and such sale may be conducted without bringing the Vessel to the place designated for such sale and in such manner as the Mortgagee may deem to be for its best advantage, and the Mortgagee may become the purchaser at such sale.

(x) pending sale of the Vessel (either directly or indirectly) to manage, charter, lease, insure, maintain and repair the Vessel and to employ or lay up the Vessel upon such terms, in such manner and for such period as the Mortgagee in its absolute discretion deems expedient and for the purpose aforesaid the Mortgagee shall be entitled to do all acts and things incidental or conducive thereto and in particular to enter into such arrangements respecting the Vessel, her insurance, management, maintenance, repair, classification and employment in all respects as if the Mortgagee were the owner of the Vessel and without being responsible for any loss thereby incurred;

(xi) to recover from the Owner on demand any such losses as may be incurred by the Mortgagee in or about the exercise of the powers vested in the Mortgagee under Section 7(B)(x) above with interest thereon at the rate provided for in Section 5(Q) hereof from the date when such losses were incurred by the Mortgagee; and

(xii) to recover from the Owner on demand all expenses, payments and disbursements (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Mortgagee in or about or incidental to the exercise by it of any of the powers vested in it hereunder together with interest thereon at the rate provided for in Section 5(Q) hereof from the date when such expenses, payments or disbursements were incurred by it;

14

PROVIDED, ALWAYS, that any sale of the Vessel or any interest therein by the Mortgagee pursuant to and in compliance with Section 7(B)(ix) above shall operate to divest all right, title and interest of the Owner, its successors and assigns, in or to the Vessel so sold and upon such sale the purchaser shall not be bound to see or inquire whether the Mortgagee’s power of sale has arisen in the manner herein provided and the sale shall be deemed to be within the power of the Mortgagee and the receipt of the Mortgagee for the purchase money shall effectively discharge the purchaser who shall not be concerned with the manner of application of the proceeds of sale or be in any way answerable therefor.

In case the Mortgagee shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Mortgagee, then and in every such case the Owner and the Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the property, subject or intended to be subject to this Mortgage, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken.

(C) Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that a Total Loss of the Vessel which is covered by the insurance maintained by Owner pursuant to Section 5(B) hereof shall not be deemed to be a default under this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement, the Note or any of the other relevant Transaction Documents, or any of them.

8. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale made either under the power of sale hereby granted to the Mortgagee or under a judgment or decree in any judicial proceedings for the foreclosure of this Mortgage or for the enforcement of any remedy granted to the Mortgagee hereunder, any net earnings arising from the management, charter or other use of the Vessel by the Mortgagee under any of the powers herein contained or by law provided and the proceeds of any and all Insurances and any claims for damages on account of the Vessel or the Owner of any nature whatsoever and any Requisition Compensation, shall be applied in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Credit Agreement,

In the event that the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the Obligations, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect the balance from the Owner or any other Person liable therefor.

9. No Waiver. No delay or omission of the Mortgagee or the other Creditors to exercise any right or power vested in it under the Credit Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other relevant Transaction Documents, or any of them shall impair such right or power or be construed as a waiver thereof or as acquiescence in any default by the Owner hereunder, nor shall the acceptance by the Mortgagee of any payments in connection with this Mortgage from any source be deemed a waiver hereunder. However, if at any time after an Event of Default and prior to the actual sale of the Vessel by the Mortgagee or prior to any foreclosure proceedings the Owner cures all Events of Default and pays all expenses, advances and damages to the Mortgagee consequent on such Events of Default, with interest at the rate provided for in Section 5(Q) hereof from the date when such expenses, advances and damages were incurred, then the Mortgagee may accept such cure and payment and restore the Owner to its former position, but such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any rights consequent thereon.

10. Delegation of Power. The Mortgagee shall be entitled at any time and as often as may be expedient to delegate all or any of the powers and discretions vested in it by this Mortgage (including the power vested in it by virtue of Section 12 hereof) in such manner and upon such terms and to such Persons as the Mortgagee in its absolute discretion may deem advisable.

15

11. Indemnity. Without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of the Mortgagee under the Credit Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other relevant Transaction Documents, the Owner hereby agrees and undertakes to indemnify the Mortgagee against all obligations and liabilities whatsoever and whensoever arising which the Mortgagee may incur in good faith in respect of, in relation to or in connection with the Vessel or otherwise howsoever in relation to or in connection with the enforcement of the Mortgagee’s rights hereunder or under the Credit Agreement, the Note or any of the other relevant Transaction Documents.

12. Power of Attorney.

(A) The Owner hereby irrevocably appoints the Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact for the duration of the Security Period to do in its name or in the name of the Owner all acts which the Owner, or its successors or assigns, could do in relation to the Vessel, including without limitation, to demand, collect, receive, compromise, settle and sue for (insofar as the Mortgagee lawfully may) all freights, hire, earnings, issues, revenues, income and profits of the Vessel, and all amounts due from underwriters under the Insurances as payment of losses or as return premiums or otherwise, salvage awards and recoveries, recoveries in general average or otherwise, and all other sums due or to become due to the Owner or in respect of the Vessel, and to make, give and execute in the name of the Owner, acquittance, receipts, releases or other discharges for the same, whether under seal or otherwise, to take possession of, sell or otherwise dispose of or manage or employ, the Vessel, to execute and deliver charters and a bill of sale with respect to the Vessel, and to endorse and accept in the name of the Owner all checks, notes, drafts, warrants, agreements and all other instruments in writing with respect to the foregoing. PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, unless the context otherwise permits under this Mortgage, such power shall not be exercisable by or on behalf of the Mortgagee unless and until any Event of Default stipulated in Section 7(A) hereof shall occur and be continuing and shall not be exercisable after all defaults have been cured.

(B) The exercise of the power granted in this Section 12 by or on behalf of the Mortgagee shall not require any Person dealing with the Mortgagee to conduct any inquiry as to whether any such Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, nor shall such Person be in any way affected by notice that any such Event of Default has not occurred nor is continuing, and the exercise by the Mortgagee of such power shall be conclusive evidence of its right to exercise the same.

13. Appointment of Receiver. If any legal proceedings shall be taken to enforce any right under this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall be entitled as a matter of right to the appointment of a receiver of the Vessel and of the freights, hire, earnings, issues, revenues, income and profits due or to become due and arising from the operation thereof.

14. Commencement of Proceedings. The Mortgagee shall have the right to commence proceedings in the courts of any country having competent jurisdiction and in particular the Mortgagee shall have the right to arrest and take action against the Vessel at whatever place the Vessel shall be found lying and for the purpose of any action which the Mortgagee may bring before the local court for the jurisdiction of such court or other judicial authority and the Owner agrees that for the purpose of proceedings against the Vessel any writ, notice, judgment or other legal process or documents may be served upon the Master of the Vessel (or upon anyone acting as the Master) and that such service shall be deemed good service on the Owner for all purposes.

15. Partial Invalidity. In the event that any provision or provisions of this Mortgage shall be declared invalid, void or otherwise inoperative by any present or future court of competent jurisdiction in any country, the Owner will, without prejudice to any other right and remedy of the Mortgagee under the Credit Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage, the other relevant Transaction Documents or any of them,

16

execute and deliver such other and further instruments and do such things as in the reasonable opinion of the Mortgagee or its counsel will be necessary or advisable to carry out the true intent and spirit of this Mortgage. In any event, any such declaration of partial invalidity shall not affect the validity of any other provision or provisions of this Mortgage, or the validity of this Mortgage as a whole.

16. Cumulative Remedies. Each and every power and remedy in this Mortgage specifically given to the Mortgagee shall be in addition to every other power and remedy herein or in the Credit Agreement, the Note or the other relevant Transaction Documents specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, admiralty, or by statute, and each and every power and remedy whether specifically in this Mortgage or in the Credit Agreement, the Note or the other relevant Transaction Documents given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any such power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other power or remedy under the Credit Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage or any other relevant Transaction Documents.

17. Recordation of Mortgage. For the purpose of recording this First Preferred Mortgage as required by Chapter 3 of the Maritime Act 1990 of the Republic of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands, as amended, the total amount is Twenty-Eight Million United States Dollars (U.S.$28,000,000) and interest, expenses and performance of mortgage covenants. It is not intended that this Mortgage shall include property other than the Vessel and it shall not include property other than the Vessel as the term “vessel” is used in the Maritime Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for property other than the Vessel, if any should be determined to be covered by this Mortgage, the discharge amount is zero point zero one percent (0.01%) of the total amount.

18. No Waiver of Preferred Status. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, it is intended that nothing herein shall waive the preferred status of this Mortgage under the laws of the Republic of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands or under the corresponding provisions of any other jurisdiction in which it is sought to be enforced and that, if any provision or portion thereof herein shall be construed to waive the preferred status of this Mortgage, then such provision to such extent shall be void and of no effect.

19. Counterparts. This Mortgage may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be an original but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

20. Notices. Notices and other communications under this Mortgage shall be in writing and may be given by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as follows:

15. Waiver; Amendment. None of the terms and conditions of this Assignment may be changed, waived, modified or varied in any manner whatsoever unless in writing duly signed by the Assignee and the Assignor.

16. Termination. If the Assignor shall pay and discharge all of its obligations under or in connection with the Credit Agreement, the Note and the other relevant Transaction Documents, or is released therefrom in accordance with the terms thereof, or if there is a Total Loss (as such term is defined in the Mortgage) of the Vessel and the Assignor has substituted acceptable collateral for the Vessel in accordance with the Credit Agreement, all of the right, title and interest herein assigned shall revert to the Assignor and this Assignment shall terminate. Upon any such termination, the Assignee will, at the Assignor’s expense, execute and deliver to the Assignor such documents as the Assignor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
