NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and conditions contained in this Charter, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Owner and the Charterer agree as follows:

Condition Precedent

It shall be a condition precedent to this Charter that the Head Owner shall have accepted and taken delivery of the Vessel under the MOA, and that the Owner shall have accepted and taken delivery of the Vessel under the Bareboat Charter failing which any and all obligations this Charter of either Party toward the other shall be null and void and of no effect.

Time Charter.

It is hereby agreed between the Parties that, upon the Owner’s confirmation to the Charterer of the delivery of the Vessel to the Owner under the Bareboat Charter, and the delivery of the Vessel under this Charter, the Charterer and the Time Charterer automatically (without further action by either the Charterer or the Time Charterer) shall be deemed to have entered into the Time Charter.

Charter Term.

(a)

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Charter, the Owner hereby charters and demises to the Charterer and the Charterer hereby hires, and takes on demise, from the Owner, the Vessel. Except as otherwise provided in this Charter, the term of this Charter (the “Charter Term”) shall continue from (x) the date of delivery of the Vessel to the Head Owner as nominee of the Seller, delivery by the Head Owner to the Owner under the Bareboat Charter and delivery by the Owner to the Charterer under this Charter in accordance with the terms of Section 4(a) (the date of such occurrence being in this Charter called the “Delivery Date”) up to and through (y) the date falling sixty (60) months following the Delivery Date.

(b)

There shall be no extension of this Charter beyond the initial sixty (60) month term described in Section 3(a).

Delivery; Redelivery.

(a)

Delivery.

(i) Delivery of the Vessel under this Charter will take place simultaneously with delivery of the Vessel by the Head Owner to the Owner under the Bareboat Charter. For the avoidance of doubt, the Owner shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Vessel. Delivery of the Vessel to the Owner by the Head Owner under the Bareboat Charter shall be deemed to constitute (A) full performance by the Owner of its obligations to deliver the Vessel to the Charterer under this Charter (including, without limitation, in relation to the condition and/or class of the Vessel at delivery) and (B) acceptance by the Charterer of the same. The Vessel shall be delivered to the Charterer with all documentation relating to the operation of the Vessel and its equipment that the Owner receives from the Seller pursuant to the MOA and/or from the Head Owner pursuant to the Bareboat Charter, including, to the extent received by the Owner pursuant to the MOA, technical and operating manuals, construction drawings, specifications, repair records, classification reports, regulatory inspection records and approvals (collectively, the “Technical Documents”). During the Charter Term, the Charterer shall be entitled to possession of the Technical Documents; provided, however, that the Owner and its designees shall be allowed reasonable access to and may make copies of the Technical Documents upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Charterer.

(ii) The Owner has been assigned all of the rights and interests that the Owner (as buyer) has or may have with respect to the Vessel under the MOA (the “Assigned Interests”). The Owner hereby assigns to the Charterer such rights and interests as the Owner may have in the Assigned Interests and such assignment shall be co-extensive with the Charter Term. The Charterer shall use due diligence to assert and enforce all such rights and interests. Upon termination or expiration of this Charter (unless the Charterer acquires the Vessel pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 12 of this Charter or, as the case may be, the Charterer (or, as the case may further be, the Charterer’s nominee) acquires the Vessel pursuant to the terms and conditions of clause 5.1 of the Multipartite Agreement), the Charterer shall be deemed to have automatically re-assigned all its rights and interests in the Assigned Interests to the Owner. The Charterer hereby re-assigns to the Owner any amounts payable to the Charterer by or for the account of the Seller (as a result of the assignment made in the second sentence of this Section 4(a) (ii)), all of which amounts shall be paid to the Owner, provided that any sums the Charterer shall have paid or agreed to pay third parties for correcting the damage, defects or deficiencies in the Vessel shall be excluded from such re-assignment and such sums shall be paid to the Charterer and the Charterer shall use such sums solely to pay such third parties for correcting the damage, defects or deficiencies in the Vessel.

(iii) Without prejudice to Sections 4(d) and 4(e)(i), on the Delivery Date, the Vessel shall be in class without conditions or recommendations and shall be classed with DNV (“Classification Society”). During the Charter Term, the Vessel shall remain classed with the Classification Society or, with the prior written consent of the Owner, which consent shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably, another classification society that is a member of the International Association of Classification Societies, and in the event that the Owner gives such written consent, as and from the date of the change in classification society all references to ‘Classification Society’ in this Charter shall be read and construed as meaning the Vessel’s new classification society as consented to by the Owner in such written consent.

(iv) THE OWNER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, TITLE OR THE DESIGN, CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY, SEAWORTHINESS OF OR THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL, EQUIPMENT, OR WORKMANSHIP IN THE VESSEL, AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY PARTICULAR TRADE, OR AS TO THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE, AND THE OWNER FURTHER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER LIABILITIES (AT COMMON LAW OR IN CONTRACT OR IN ADMIRALTY OR TORT OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, STRICT LIABILITY OR NEGLIGENCE IN ANY DEGREE). THE VESSEL IS DELIVERED BY THE OWNER TO THE CHARTERER “AS IS, WHERE IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS.

(b)

Redelivery. The provisions respecting redelivery of the Vessel as set forth in Sections 4(c), 4(d)(ii), 4(e), 4 (f), 4(g), and 4(h) shall not be applicable in the event that the Charterer acquires the Vessel pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 12(a) or 12(b), as the case may be, and/or clause 5 of the Multipartite Agreement.

(c)

The Charterer shall, at its own cost and expense, following the termination of this Charter in accordance with Section 17(b)(i), redeliver the Vessel to the Owner at a location designated by the Owner and being reasonably acceptable to the Charterer. Such location shall be an easily accessible location, recognised as a safe port within the following ranges dropping last outward sea pilot or passing:

Singapore / Japan range, with intention delivery port in Japan or South Korea or Philippines in the Charterer’s option

with such location never to be within a Prohibited Country and always within International Navigation Limits.

The Charterer shall redeliver all Technical Documents to the Owner with the Vessel. The Charterer shall also provide to the Owner prior to redelivery evidence of the most recent drydocking, inspection and related repairs required by this Charter, together with written confirmation by the Charterer that to the best of its knowledge and belief there has been no subsequent damage, grounding, collision or other similar material event subsequent to such drydocking (or providing the details of any of such events that may have occurred).

Commencing upon a determination pursuant to Section 17 that the Vessel will be redelivered, and through the completion of redelivery, the Charterer will allow for and assist in making the Vessel available for inspection at ports of call thereafter by potentially interested purchasers or charterers of the Vessel, as requested by the Owner. Any such inspection shall be without interference with or delay of the Vessel’s operations and without interference with the Vessel’s crew.

(d)

Survey, Inventory and Inspection.

(i) On, or in the Owner’s option, prior to, the Delivery Date, the Charterer, at its own cost and expense, shall do a survey of the Vessel and its inventory. The Owner agrees to accept such survey (the “On-hire Survey”) as the benchmark for the condition of the Vessel and the amount of inventory on the Vessel at the commencement of the Charter Term. The Charterer hereby unconditionally agrees that the Vessel’s condition will be acceptable to it in all respects and in accordance with the terms of this Charter and the Charterer will have no claim against the Owner whatsoever in respect of any defects, damage or deficiencies and/or other items and/or matters resulting in and/or which are the subject of any recommendation or condition of class (“Deficiencies”) or otherwise identified during the UWI (as defined in Section 4(d)(iv) below) (which, for the purposes of the On-hire Survey, the Parties shall ignore) or otherwise identified during any UWI (as defined in Section 4) during and/or after the Charter Term and/or following purchase of the Vessel by the Charterer. If requested by the Owner, and at the Charterer’s expense, an underwater survey may be performed as part of the On-hire Survey unless an UWI has been performed by the Charterer before the delivery of the Vessel from the Original Seller. Purchase of bunkers and fuel oil on board the Vessel at the time of delivery under the Time Charter will be made in accordance with the terms of the Time Charter.

(ii) Following the termination of this Charter in accordance with Section 17(b) (i), the Owner shall appoint an independent marine surveyor, who is reasonably acceptable to the Charterer, for the purpose of determining and agreeing in writing the condition of the Vessel at the time of redelivery under this Charter (the “Off-hire Survey”) as well as a plan to implement any correction of any deficiencies construed by the surveyor to exceed normal wear and tear. The expenses for the independent surveyor for such survey shall be paid by the Charterer. Such survey will include, but not be limited to, an inventory of all consumables, stores, spare parts and equipment on board the Vessel and ashore; a monetary valuation of such inventory; a general condition survey of the Vessel including photographic or videotape records; an inspection of class records; and an inspection of maintenance records. If requested by the Owner, and at the Charterer’s own cost and expense, an underwater survey may be performed as part of the Off-hire Survey.

(iii) The On-hire Survey report and the Off-hire Survey report (if any), when agreed, shall be deemed to be incorporated into this Charter by reference.

(iv) At the request of the Owner, the Charterer shall at its own cost and expense arrange for an underwater inspection of the Vessel (the “UWI”) to be performed by a diver approved by the Classification Society before, on or after (in the Owner’s option) the Delivery Date at a place at which conditions are suitable for such underwater inspection (as determined by the Owner or the Classification Society), provided that the underwater inspection of the Vessel carried out under the MOA prior to the Delivery Date shall be considered to be the UWI to the extent and for the purposes of this Charter. The UWI shall be carried out in the presence of a Classification Society surveyor arranged for by the Charterer and acceptable to the Owner and paid for by the Charterer. The Owner’s and the Head Owner’s representative(s) shall have the right to be present at the UWI as observer(s) only without interfering with the work or decisions of the Classification Society surveyor. The extent of the UWI and the conditions under which it is performed shall be to the satisfaction of the Classification Society. Any Deficiencies discovered during the UWI shall be rectified by the Charterer pursuant to Section 7(b). If the Vessel’s rudder, propeller, bottom or other underwater parts are found broken, damaged or defective (but excluding any fouling or marine growth) during the UWI and such breakage, damage or defects do not constitute Deficiencies, the Charterer shall at the Charterer’s own cost and expense promptly remedy such breakage, damage or defect to the Owner’s and the Head Owner’s satisfaction (such satisfaction in the sole discretion of the Owner and the Head Owner) but without unreasonably interfering with the Time Charterer’s use or operation of the Vessel. If any fouling of and/or marine growth on the Vessel’s rudder, propeller, bottom or other underwater parts is discovered during the UWI, and the extent of such fouling and/or marine growth is greater than would reasonably be expected to have accumulated on a hull of similar type, size and age to the Vessel’s hull up to the date of the UWI, the Charterer shall, at the Charterer’s own cost and expense but without unreasonably interfering with the Time Charterer’s use or operation of the Vessel, promptly (and in all events at the next drydocking of the Vessel or such earlier date as required by the Classification Society and/or United States Coast Guard (as applicable and as the case may be)) clean such fouling and/or marine growth to the Owner’s and the Head Owner’s reasonable satisfaction.

The Charterer shall be responsible for naming the Vessel and for paying for initial Flag State documentation and maintaining such due documentation throughout the Charter Term, at the Charterer’s own cost and expense, provided, the Owner agrees that the Owner will reasonably cooperate with the Charterer in establishing and maintaining such Flag State documentation. The Charterer shall also pay all the Flag State fees associated with initial documentation and any annual Flag State fees required to maintain documentation or the Head Owner’s foreign maritime entity status.

(iv) Charter Hire Payments. Payments of Charter Hire shall be paid in United States currency to such account and in such manner as may be designated in writing by the Owner from time to time. Basic Charter Hire shall be paid monthly in arrears on the day numerically corresponding to the day of the Delivery Date occurring in each month during the Charter Term following the month in which the Delivery Date occurs (each, a “Charter Hire Payment Date”); and provided further that if the Charter Hire Payment Date does not fall on a day on which banks are open for business in London, New York, Athens and Geneva (a “Business Day”), the applicable Charter Hire Payment Date shall be the next following Business Day (unless that day would be in the next calendar month, in which case it shall fall on the preceding Business Day).

(v) Default Interest. In the event that any Basic Charter Hire or Additional Hire payable by the Charterer is not paid on the due date thereof, interest shall accrue on such unpaid amount from and including the date that falls two (2) days after the due date of the unpaid amount to and excluding the date of payment thereof at the Default Rate (as defined below). Any such accrued interest shall be Additional Hire and shall be payable upon demand.

(b)

Hell or High Water Charter Obligation. This Charter may not be cancelled or terminated, except in accordance with the express provisions of this Charter and the Multipartite Agreement, for any reason whatsoever. The Charterer shall have no right to be released, relieved or discharged from any obligation or liability under this Charter except as set forth in explicit provisions of this Charter. Except as hereinafter provided, the Charterer’s obligation to pay Charter Hire under this Charter shall be absolute during the term of this Charter irrespective of any contingency whatsoever, including, but not limited to (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which either Party may have against the other; (ii) any failure of the Vessel to meet the required condition of delivery under the MOA or any failure of the Vessel to meet any operational standards set forth in the MOA; (iii) any damage to, destruction or taking of the Vessel, any requisition of use, any inability of the Vessel to trade in any particular trade, any temporary unavailability of the Vessel by reason of any damage to the Vessel, any lay-up of the Vessel, any failure of the Vessel to be duly documented in the Flag State, or any defect in the Owner’s title to the Vessel; (iv) any failure on the part of any Party, whether with or without fault on its part, in performing or complying with any of the terms or covenants under this Charter; (v) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or similar proceeding by or against the Charterer or the Guarantor or any other person; (vi) any invalidity or unenforceability, or lack of due authorization of or defect in the execution, of this Charter; (vii) any War Risks; (viii) any event of force majeure or frustration; and (ix) any other reason whatsoever.

No repairs or maintenance to the Vessel required by Section 7(b) above or 8(d) below shall constitute a Modification for the purposes of this Section 8. For the avoidance of doubt, all Modifications will be made at the expense of the Charterer.

(b)

Alterations and Restoration. Subject to the maintenance provisions of this Charter, the Charterer may at any time alter or remove items of equipment, or may fit additional items of equipment required to render the Vessel available for a customer’s purpose; provided the Charterer absorbs the cost and time of such alterations and the Charterer restores prior to redelivery of the Vessel any items so altered or removed as the case may be. Such changes shall not be made without the appropriate approval of the Classification Society and certifying authorities.

(c)

Replacements. The Charterer shall from time to time during the Charter Term, at its own cost and expense, replace such items of equipment on the Vessel as shall be so damaged or worn as to be unfit for use.

Title to Modifications. Title to each Modification shall vest as follows:

(i) in the case of each Modification which cannot be readily removed from the Vessel without causing material diminishment to the value, utility or remaining useful life of the Vessel (a “Non-Severable Modification”) whether or not the Owner shall have provided or arranged financing (in whole or in part) of the cost of such Modification, the Head Owner shall, without further act, effective on the date such Modification shall have been incorporated into the Vessel, acquire title to such Non-Severable Modification;

(ii) in the case of each Modification which can be readily removed from the Vessel without causing material diminishment to the value, utility or remaining useful life of the Vessel (a “Severable Modification”) that is not required by applicable law or required by any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Vessel or required by the Classification Society, the Charterer shall retain title to such Severable Modification;

(iii) in the case of Severable Modifications required by applicable law or required by any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Vessel or required by the Classification Society, title to such Modifications shall immediately vest in the Head Owner at no cost to the Head Owner and without further action by the Charterer; provided, however, that the Charterer shall take such actions as may be reasonably required by the Owner and/or the Head Owner to evidence the transfer of title.

Immediately upon title to a Modification vesting in the Head Owner pursuant to subparagraphs (i) or (iii) of this Section 8(e), such Modification shall, without further act, become subject to this Charter and be deemed part of the Vessel for all purposes of this Charter. Modifications, title to which remains in the Charterer pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of this Section 8(e), shall not be deemed a part of the Vessel.

(f)

Removal of Property. Subject to compliance, in all material respects, with applicable law and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Charterer may remove any Severable Modification to which the Head Owner does not have title, and any other property to which the Charterer shall have title as provided in this Section 8, provided that the Charterer, at its own cost and expense and prior to the end of the Charter Term, shall repair any damage to the Vessel (or any part thereof) caused by such removal.

(g)

Contest of Requirements of Law. If, with respect to requirement of applicable law or governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Vessel or requirement of the Classification Society (i) the Charterer is contesting diligently and in good faith by appropriate proceedings such requirement or (ii) compliance with such requirement shall have been excused or exempted by a valid non- conforming use permit, waiver, extension or forbearance exempting the Charterer from such requirement or (iii) the Charterer shall be making a good faith effort and shall be diligently taking the appropriate steps to comply with such requirement, then the failure by the Charterer to comply with such requirement shall not constitute an Event of Default under this Charter; provided, however, that such contest or non-compliance does not involve (A) any danger of criminal liability being imposed on the Head Owner and/or the Owner or (B) any material risk of (1) the imminent arrest or sale of, or the creation of any lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on, the Vessel or (2) material civil liability being imposed on the Owner and/or the Head Owner. The Charterer agrees to give prompt written notice to the Owner in detail sufficient to enable the Owner and the Head Owner to ascertain whether such contest may have any material adverse effect of the type described in the above proviso.

If the Owner or the Head Owner places innocent owner’s insurance in accordance with the foregoing, the Charterer agrees to pay or reimburse the Owner or the Head Owner, as applicable, the costs thereof, upon receipt of a demand therefor accompanied by copies of the relevant invoices or other similar evidence of such costs.

(a)

Form of Insurance; Indemnity. All insurance required under this Section shall be in such form and with such underwriters, companies or clubs as the Owner and the Head Owner shall reasonably approve.

All policies shall provide that the Owner (and if applicable, the Owner’s bank as mortgagee of the Vessel) and the Head Owner (and if applicable the Head Owner’s bank as mortgagee of the Vessel) and the Charterer will be given at least fourteen (14) days’ notice of cancellation, non-renewal or material alteration, or such shorter notice period (if any) as may be available under relevant market or standard insurance practice and/or terms, where such practice and/or terms do not provide for cancellation with such minimum fourteen (14) days’ notice. Deductibles up to a maximum of United States Dollars Five Hundred Thousand (US$500,000) are permitted without the prior written consent of the Owner. Any deductibles under such policies shall always be for the account of the Charterer. The Charterer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Owner and/or the Head Owner (and if applicable the Head Owner’s bank as mortgagee of the Vessel) from and against any liability imposed on or incurred by the Owner and/or the Head Owner (and if applicable the Head Owner’s bank as mortgagee of the Vessel) for any premiums, club calls or assessments with respect to any insurance required under this Section. For the avoidance of doubt, the Charterer’s indemnification obligations under Section 18 shall, subject to Section 18, include (i) all Claims (as defined below) and (ii) any Claim made against the Head Owner and / or by the underwriters of the insurance required under this Charter pursuant to rights of subrogation.

(c)

Forced Insurance. In the event the Charterer fails to procure and maintain insurance in accordance with this Section 9, the Owner and/or the Head Owner may, but shall not be obligated to, effect and maintain the insurance or entries in a P&I Club as required in this Charter and to pay the premiums therefor and, upon the Owner’s giving written notice and all relevant supporting invoices to the Charterer of the amounts of premiums and costs so incurred by either the Owner and/or the Head Owner, the Charterer shall reimburse the Owner and/or the Head Owner, as applicable, for such amounts, together with interest thereon from the date of payment by the Owner and/or the Head Owner to the date of reimbursement, at the Default Rate, not later than fifteen (15) days after such notice.

(d)

Termination Due To Loss. This Charter shall be terminated due to a total or constructive total loss or an agreed, arranged or compromised total loss of the Vessel under the hull and machinery policy as determined by underwriters (“Total Loss”), and Charter Hire pursuant to Section 5 shall be payable until the date on which underwriters make a determination that the event occurred which gave rise to the Total Loss (the “Loss Termination Date”). Termination shall occur only upon payment of all amounts due under Section 9(e) below.

(e)

Payments in Event of Total Loss. In the event of Total Loss of the Vessel, the Owner, in lieu of any and all other claims and damages, shall receive from the Charterer, and the Charterer shall pay to the Owner, an amount equal to the sum of (i) any accrued and unpaid Charter Hire payable in accordance with Section 5 calculated through and, if applicable, including, the Loss Termination Date; (ii) the Loss Value of the Vessel as of the date on Exhibit A-1 hereto that immediately precedes the Loss Termination Date (or, if the Loss Termination Date is a Charter Hire Payment Date, the Loss Value of the Vessel as of such Loss Termination Date as set out in Exhibit A-1); provided, however, if the event that gives rise to a Total Loss of the Vessel occurs prior to the first date listed on Exhibit A-1, the Loss Value shall be the amount listed for the first date on such Exhibit A-1, (iii) interest on the amount referred to in Section 9(e)(ii) above from the Loss Termination Date until the date such amount is actually paid to, and received by, the Owner at the Total Loss Rate, and (iv) any Additional Hire then due and owing. The Charterer’s obligation to pay amounts set forth in (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above (the “Total Loss Payment”) shall be absolute and shall be due to the Owner upon the earlier of the Charterer’s receipt of insurance proceeds and one hundred and ten (110)) days following the Loss Termination Date. The Owner may, subject to the Charterer’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and at the Owner’s own expense, place additional total loss only coverage. Any proceeds paid under such additional total loss only insurance shall be paid directly by insurers to the Owner and shall not be included in the calculation set forth above. The Charterer may place, at the Charterer’s own cost and expense and as a separate policy from any insurances otherwise placed (or to be placed) in accordance with this Charter, Increased Value insurance (subject to the Owner’s prior consent, and subject to such Increased Value insurance in no way prejudicing in any way whatsoever the recovery by the Head Owner and/or the Owner of any amount that would otherwise be payable under any other insurances placed in accordance with this Charter), the proceeds of which shall be paid directly by insurers to the Charterer and shall not be included in the calculation set forth above.

The Owner agrees that to the extent that the Charterer pays the Total Loss Payment from its own funds the full net proceeds on a Total Loss of the insurances in respect of the Vessel and placed by the Charterer shall be for the account of and shall be paid or released to the Charterer.

For purposes of this Charter:

“Total Loss Rate” shall mean, for any day, a rate of interest per annum equal to the lesser of (i) six per cent. (6%) and (ii) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

(f)

Limitation of Liability. Nothing in this Charter shall be construed or held to deprive the Owner, Head Owner the Charterer or the Vessel of any right to claim limitation of liability against third parties (other than the Head Owner) provided by any applicable statute of any jurisdiction.

(g)

Wreck Removal. In the event the Vessel becomes a wreck or obstruction to navigation, the Charterer shall, if required by applicable law, remove such wreck or obstruction and shall indemnify the Owner and the Head Owner against any sums whatsoever which the Owner and the Head Owner shall become liable to pay or shall pay in consequence of the Vessel becoming a wreck or obstruction to navigation.

(h)

Requisition. In the event that the Vessel shall be requisitioned for hire, or otherwise taken by any governmental agency on the basis of a bareboat or time charter (other than a requisition of title or a taking which constitutes a Total Loss), during the Charter Term, the Charterer will continue to pay Charter Hire and will collect and retain the compensation, reimbursements or awards for such requisition, or other taking of the Vessel received. If the Owner receives the compensation, reimbursements or awards, then, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Owner agrees that it will turn over forthwith to the Charterer all compensation, reimbursements or awards for such requisition or other taking of the Vessel received by the Owner. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Owner receives the compensation, reimbursements or awards and an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then the compensation, reimbursements or awards shall be applied in accordance with Section 17.

10.

Liens.

(a) Neither the Charterer nor any of its employees shall have any right, power or authority to create, incur or permit to be imposed upon the Vessel any lien whatsoever during the Charter Term, except for (i) crew’s wages (including the master of theVessel), or wages of stevedores when employed directly by the Charterer, any sub- charterer or the master or agent of the Vessel, (ii) damages arising out of maritime tort, (ii) general average and salvage (including contract salvage), (iv) liens for taxes not yet due (provided that the Charterer has established appropriate reserves for the payment of such taxes), (v) other maritime liens arising in the ordinary course of the Charterer’s business provided, such other maritime liens shall be permitted only to the extent such amounts are not more than twenty five (25) days past due unless such amounts are being contested in good faith by appropriate legal proceedings diligently pursued and for which appropriate reserves are established, and (vi) any mortgage executed by the Owner and/or the Head Owner (collectively, “Permitted Liens”). The Charterer shall carry a copy of this Charter with the Vessel’s papers, and on demand will exhibit the same to any person having business with the Vessel which might give rise to any lien thereon, other than liens for crew’s wages, general average and salvage. The Charterer will place and keep prominently displayed in the chart room and the captain’s cabin on the Vessel in a conspicuous place, a notice, framed under glass, printed in plain type of such size that the paragraph of reading material shall cover a reasonable space acceptable to the Owner reading as follows:

(b) With respect to any claims and demands made by any person against the Owner or the Head Owner or the Vessel, except if the claim or demand has been brought about as a result of an action or omission of the Owner or the Head Owner (as the case may be), the Charterer hereby agrees as follows:

(i) the Charterer shall warrant and defend title to and possession of the Vessel and every part thereof;

(ii) the Charterer shall pay and discharge, and forthwith remove or cause to be removed, any lien (other than a Permitted Lien) which shall be filed against or otherwise attach to the Vessel; provided, however, that, subject to subsection (c) of this Section, the Charterer need not pay and discharge or remove any lien that is being contested by the Charterer in good faith by appropriate legal proceedings being diligently pursued, and with respect to which the Charterer has posted an appropriate bond with a good and sufficient surety, or has deposited in escrow with the Owner cash in the amount claimed by the holder of such lien, to secure the payment thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10, if a libel shall be filed against the Vessel, or if the Vessel shall be seized, arrested, levied upon and taken into custody or detained in any proceeding in any court or tribunal or by any government or under colour of authority, the Charterer shall forthwith give notice of such arrest and taking or detention to the Owner and the Head Owner and (except in connection with any taking or requisition of the title or use of the Vessel by any governmental authority or as a result of wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Owner) cause the Vessel to be released therefrom within forty five (45) days from the date of such seizure, arrest or detention, or within such lesser time as may be necessary to avoid prejudice to the interests of the Owner or the Head Owner with respect to the Vessel. Without limiting the Charterer’s obligations under Section 18 of this Charter, the Charterer shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify the Owner, the Head Owner and the Vessel from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, judgments, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, of whatsoever kind and nature, imposed on, incurred by or claimed against the Owner, the Head Owner or the Vessel, in any way relating to or arising out of the assertion of a lien against the Vessel, including, without limitation, a Permitted Lien (but excluding any lien claimed by any person claiming the same by, through or under the Owner (including as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Owner of the Head Owner)).

11.

Mortgages; Financing; Subordination.

(a) The Charterer hereby agrees that should the Owner and/or the Head Owner wish to mortgage the Vessel or assign this Charter in connection with any financing arrangements of the Owner and/or the Head Owner, the Charterer shall agree to post notices of the mortgage and of this Charter as reasonably required, execute such documents reasonably acknowledging the terms and existence of the mortgage, and the assignment of charter, and otherwise cooperate reasonably with the Owner and/or the Head Owner and any mortgagee in respect of such financing. Any such mortgage shall provide that the Charterer shall have the right of quiet enjoyment in its use of the Vessel so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Charter and that such mortgage shall not impede (if applicable) any purchase option of the Charterer under the Multipartite Agreement (which will be confirmed in a separate letter of quiet enjoyment in favour of the Charterer, which letter of quiet enjoyment shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Head Owner and any such mortgagee), and that notice of any event of default under such mortgage shall be promptly given to the Charterer. Any reasonable and documented costs and expenses associated with such activity will be borne by the Owner. Any mortgagee of the Vessel shall be qualified under applicable law and regulations to hold a mortgage on the Vessel without jeopardizing the Vessel’s registration with the Flag State. Any additional insurance costs arising from or related to any mortgage placed on the Vessel by the Owner and/or the Head Owner shall be the responsibility of the Owner.

(b) The Charterer hereby agrees that its right to use the Vessel and other rights related thereto, shall, in all respects, be subject, subordinate and junior to the lien of any preferred mortgage or other security agreement created by the Owner and/or the Head Owner, and to the rights of the holder thereof, whether executed heretofore or hereafter (subject to the Charterer’s rights of quiet enjoyment under this Section 11 and its further rights set forth in Sections 12 and 14). After notice of default in payment or performance under any such mortgage or security agreement, subject always to the Charterer’s continued right of quiet enjoyment in its use of the Vessel, the Charterer may perform or pay Charter Hire for the Vessel to the holder of such security, and the same, to the extent of such payment, shall constitute payment of Charter Hire as if it had been made to the Owner.

(c) The Owner agrees and confirms that, so long as no Event of Default under this Charter has occurred and is continuing, the Charterer shall have exclusive possession, control, and quiet enjoyment in its use of the Vessel during the Charter Term, subject to the conditions of this Charter, without hindrance or molestation by the Owner, or any other person claiming by, through or under the Owner.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Charterer shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party in respect of any act or omission constituting gross negligence or wilful misconduct by such Indemnified Party, or its agents or representatives. The Charterer agrees to further indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Party and the Vessel from and against all liens created and imposed on the Vessel other than those caused by Owner’s or, as the case may be, the Head Owner’s own actions, and in the event of the seizure of the Vessel under legal process to enforce such lien or asserted lien, the Charterer shall secure the prompt release of the Vessel by payment of same or otherwise as may be appropriate. The Owner’s right to Charter Hire as provided for in Section 5 of this Charter shall not be suspended during any time when the Vessel is under seizure by legal process as a result of such liens or asserted liens. As used in this Charter, “Claims” shall mean any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses, fines, penalties and disbursements (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses and investigatory fees and disbursements) of whatsoever kind and nature, including, without limitation, (i) claims or penalties arising from any violation of the laws or regulations of any authority or country or political subdivision thereof, (ii) claims as the result of latent, patent or other defects, whether or not discoverable by the Owner, the Head Owner or the Charterer, (iii) Environmental Claims and (iv) tort claims of any kind, including, without limitation, claims for injury or damage caused by leakage, discharge or spillage of oil or cargo, refuse or any hazardous substance, but excluding Taxes (as such term is defined in Section 18(c) below).

(c)

Charterer’s Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Charter or in the Bareboat Charter to the contrary, the Charterer hereby covenants and agrees that it shall make all payments of Charter Hire and other amounts payable by the Charterer under this Charter to the Owner or any Indemnified Party or any Tax Indemnitee (for the purposes of this Section 18, “Tax Indemnitee” means any of: the Owner and each of its affiliates that is included with the Owner in a consolidated, combined, unitary or other group Tax return) free and clear from, and without deduction or withholding of or by reason of, any taxes (including income, gross receipts, sales or use taxes), money transfer fees or other charges or withholdings of any nature whatsoever except to the extent that deduction or withholding of any Tax (for the purposes of this Section 18, “Tax” means all taxes (including income taxes, gross receipts taxes, sales taxes, use taxes, value added taxes, ad valorem taxes and other taxes), fees, duties, charges, assessments, and withholdings of whatever nature, imposed, assessed, levied or asserted by any governmental authority or other taxing authority (and any and all penalties, fines, interest and other charges relating thereto)) is required by law, in which event the Charterer shall (i) notify the person entitled to receive the payment (the “Payee”) of such requirement, (ii) make such deduction or withholding, (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax (as defined in Section 18(e)), pay on an after-Tax basis pursuant to Section 18(d) such additional amount as is necessary so that the Payee receives, after such deduction or withholding (including any deduction or withholding with respect to such additional amount) an amount equal to the amount that the Payee would have received if such deduction or withholding had not been made, (iv) pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the appropriate taxing authority in accordance with applicable law, and (v) deliver to the Payee promptly after making such payment an original receipt (or certified copy thereof) or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Payee evidencing payment of the tax withheld to the appropriate taxing authority.

(d)

Payment After Tax. Each payment or indemnity payable by the Charterer to or for the benefit of an Indemnified Party or a Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 18 shall be paid on an after- Tax basis, which means that the Charterer must pay, in addition to such payment or indemnity, such additional amount or amounts as will, in the reasonable good faith determination of such Indemnified Party or Tax Indemnitee, leave such Indemnified Party or Tax Indemnitee and its affiliates (if any) in the same economic position as they would be in if such payment or indemnity were not subject to taxation, taking into account any Tax costs resulting from the such Indemnified Party’s or Tax Indemnitee’s actual or constructive receipt or accrual of the Charterer’s payment or indemnity and any Tax saving realized by such Indemnified Party or Tax Indemnitee and its affiliates (if any) as a result of the allowance of any Tax credit, deduction or other Tax benefit for the Tax, liability or expense incurred by such Indemnified Party or Tax Indemnitee that gave rise to the Charterer’s obligation to pay such payment or indemnity pursuant to this Section 18.

(ii) any ad valorem Tax assessed on or with respect to the Vessel arising from the presence of the Vessel in the jurisdiction imposing the Tax after the Charterer has redelivered the Vessel to the Owner in accordance with the provisions of this Charter and has performed all of its obligations under the Charter, unless the Vessel is redelivered as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default;

(iii) any Tax imposed on or with respect to any sale or other transfer by the Owner of any of the Owner’s interest in the Vessel or the Charter to any person other than the Charterer, provided that the exclusion in this Section 18 18(e)(iii) shall not apply to any such sale or transfer that occurs (1) in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, a Total Loss, or any maintenance, repair, overhaul, pooling, interchange, exchange, removal, replacement, substitution, modification, improvement, or alteration of the Vessel or any part thereof or (2) at the Charterer’s request or (3) pursuant to a requirement in this Charter;

(v) any Tax if and to the extent that such Tax would be payable by such Tax Indemnitee in the absence of the transactions contemplated in this Charter;
