Section
2.          Amount and Terms of Term Loan Facility


 


2.01         The
Commitments.


 


(a)           Subject
to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with a Commitment severally agrees to make a term loan or term
loans (each, a “Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Term Loans”) to the Borrower, which Term
Loans: (i) may only be incurred pursuant to a single drawing on the Borrowing Date relating to a Vessel, which shall occur in each
case on or after the Closing Date and prior to the Commitment Termination Date for such Vessel; provided that the Initial
Borrowing Date shall occur on or prior to February 27, 2017; (ii) shall be denominated in Dollars and (iii) shall be made by each
such Lender in an aggregate principal amount which does not exceed the Commitment of such Lender on the relevant Borrowing Date
(determined before giving effect on such Borrowing Date to the termination thereof on such date pursuant to Section 3.03). Once
repaid, Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed.


 


(b)           Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event will the principal amount of the Loans made on any Borrowing Date in respect of a Collateral Vessel
exceed the lesser of (A) 60% of the Appraised Value of such Collateral Vessel with respect to which Loans are made on such Borrowing
Date (a “Relevant Vessel”) and (B) $33,000,000.


 


2.02        Minimum
Amount of Each Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Loans shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing
Amount. More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date.


 


2.03         Notice
of Borrowing. Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Loans hereunder, it shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice
Office at least three Business Days’ prior notice of each Loan to be incurred hereunder, provided that (in each case)
any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 10:00 AM (New York time) on such day.
Each such written notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section
2.09, shall be irrevocable and shall be given by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit A, appropriately completed
to specify and include:


 




    	-33-



     


    

 


(i)            the
aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing,


 


(ii)           the
calculations required to establish whether the Borrower is in compliance with the provisions of Section 2.01(b) for the Relevant
Vessel,


 


(iii)          the
date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day),


 


(iv)          the
name of the Relevant Vessel being acquired on such date, and


 


(v)           the
initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto in accordance with Section 2.08.


 


The Administrative Agent shall promptly
give each Lender notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters
required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.


 


2.04         Disbursement
of Funds. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, no later than 12:00 Noon (New York
time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender with a Commitment will make available its pro rata
portion of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date. All such amounts shall be made available in Dollars and in immediately
available funds at the Payment Office of the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower
(on such day to the extent of funds actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on such day)
at the Payment Office, in the account specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, the aggregate of the amounts so made available
by the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the Borrowing Date that such Lender
does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date,
the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing
Date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.
If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding
amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower
and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also
be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in
respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until
the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered
from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable
to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.07.


 




    	-34-



     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


2.07         Interest.
(a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Loan from the Borrowing Date thereof
until the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the Applicable
Margin plus the Eurodollar Rate for the relevant Interest Period, each as in effect from time to time.


 




    	-35-



     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


2.08         Interest
Periods. At the time the Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing in respect of the making of any Loan (in the case of the initial
Interest Period applicable thereto) or on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such
Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period) (provided that any such notice shall be deemed to be given on a certain
day only if given before 10:00 AM (New York time)), it shall have the right to elect, by giving the Administrative Agent notice
thereof, the interest period (each an “Interest Period”) applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall,
at the option of the Borrower, be a three month or six month period (or such other period as all the Lenders may agree); provided
that:


 


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


 




    	-36-



     


    

 


(ii)           subject
to clause (iii) below, each Interest Period for any Loan after the initial Interest Period with respect thereto shall commence
on the day on which the immediately preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;


 


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


 


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


 


(v)           no
Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date;


 


(vi)          any
Interest Period commencing less than three months prior to the Maturity Date shall end on the Maturity Date;


 


(vii)         unless
the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period longer than three months may be selected at any time when a Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;


 


(viii)        no
Interest Period shall be selected which extends beyond any date upon which a scheduled repayment of Loans will be required to be
made under Section 4.02(a) if the aggregate principal amount of Loans which have Interest Periods which will expire after such
date will be in excess of the aggregate principal amount of Loans then outstanding less the aggregate amount of such required repayment
on such date; and


 


(ix)           no
more than 2 Interest Periods shall be outstanding at any time.


 


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


 


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


 




    	-37-



     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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

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


 


(i)            the
Applicable Margin; and


 


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


 


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


 


(e)         If
any Reference Bank ceases to be a Lender under this Agreement, (x) it shall cease to be a Reference Bank and (y) the Administrative
Agent shall, with the approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the Borrower, nominate as soon as reasonably practicable
another Lender to be a Reference Bank in place of such Reference Bank.


 


2.10         Compensation.
The Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the
basis for requesting and the calculation of such compensation; provided that no Lender shall be required to disclose any information
that would be confidential or price sensitive), for all reasonable and documented losses, expenses and liabilities (including,
without limitation, any such loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other
funds required by such Lender to fund its Loans but excluding Applicable Margin and any loss of anticipated profits) which such
Lender may sustain in respect of Loans made to the Borrower: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the
Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing (whether or not
withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.09(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any
prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 2.09(a), Section 4.01 or Section 4.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the
Loans pursuant to Section 9) of any of its Loans, or assignment of its Loans pursuant to Section 2.12, occurs on a date which is
not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Loans is not made on any date
specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of any other Default or Event of Default arising
as a result of the Borrower’s failure to repay Loans or make payment on any Note held by such Lender when required by the
terms of this Agreement.

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


 


(b)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Sections 2.09, 2.10 or 4.04 of this Agreement, unless a Lender gives notice to the Borrower
that it is obligated to pay an amount under any such Section within 180 days of the later of (x) the date the Lender incurs the
respective increased costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return
on capital or (y) the date such Lender has actual or constructive knowledge of its incurrence of the respective increased costs,
Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, then such Lender
shall only be entitled to be compensated for such amount by the Borrower pursuant to said Section 2.09, 2.10 or 4.04, as the case
may be, to the extent the costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in
return on capital are incurred or suffered on or after the date which occurs 180 days prior to such Lender giving notice to the
Borrower that it is obligated to pay the respective amounts pursuant to said Section 2.09, 2.10 or 4.04, as the case may be. This
Section 2.11(b) shall have no applicability to any Section of this Agreement other than said Sections 2.09, 2.10 and 4.04.


 


2.12         Replacement
of Lenders. (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation
of Section 2.09(a), Section 2.09(b) or Section 4.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the
Borrower increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders, or (z) as provided in Section 11.13(b)
in the case of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect
to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall have the right, if no Event of Default will
exist immediately after giving effect to the respective replacement, to either replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”)
with one or more other Eligible Transferee or Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time
of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent,
provided that:


 


(i)            at
the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption
Agreements pursuant to Section 11.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 11.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement
Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender
and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum (without duplication)
of (x) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, and
(y) an amount equal to all accrued, but unpaid, Commitment Commission owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 3.01; and


 




    	-40-



     


    

 


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


 


Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of
all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated)
and is authorized (which authorization is coupled with an interest) to execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement on behalf
of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption Agreement so executed by the Administrative Agent and the Replacement
Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.12 and Section 11.04. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment
and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above and, if so requested by the Replacement
Lender, delivery to (i) the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender
shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification
provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.09, 2.10, 4.04, 11.01, 11.17 and 11.18), which shall
survive as to such Replaced Lender.


 


2.13        Acknowledgement
and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in
any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of
any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the
write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound
by:


 


(a)           the
application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which
may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and


 


(b)           the
effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:


 


(i)            a
reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;


 


(ii)           a
conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution,
its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or
other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement
or any other Credit Document; or


 


(iii)          the
variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution
Authority.

Section
3.           Commitment Commission; Reductions of Commitment.


 


3.01         Commitment
Commission; Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay the Administrative Agent for distribution
to each Non-Defaulting Lender a commitment commission (the “Commitment Commission”) for the period from the
Closing Date to and including the Commitment Termination Date computed at a per annum rate equal to 40% of the Applicable
Margin in respect of the daily undrawn Total Commitments in each case, of such Non-Defaulting Lender. Accrued Commitment Commission
shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date and on the Maturity Date (or, if earlier, the date upon which the Commitments
are terminated).


 


(b)           The
Borrower shall pay (i) to the Lead Arrangers, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter and (ii) to the Administrative Agent, for the
Administrative Agent’s own account, such other fees as have been agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent.


 


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


 


(b)           In
the event of certain refusals by a Lender as provided in Section 11.13(b) to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges
or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower may, subject to the
requirements of said Section 11.13(b) and upon five Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent at its Notice
Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), terminate all of the Commitment
(if any) of such Lender so long as all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Commitment Commission and all other amounts,
owing to such Lender are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination (at which time Schedule I hereto
shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts), and at such time such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender”
for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation,
Sections 2.09, 2.10, 4.04, 11.01, 11.17 and 11.18), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender.


 


3.03         Mandatory
Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Total Commitments (and the Commitments of each Lender)
shall terminate in their entirety on the Commitment Termination Date, unless the Closing Date has occurred prior to such date.


 


(b)           In
addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, on each Borrowing Date on which Loans are
incurred, the Total Commitment shall be permanently reduced by the aggregate principal amount of the Loans made on such Borrowing
Date.


 




    	-42-



     


    

 


(c)           Each
reduction to, or termination of, the Total Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall be applied to proportionately reduce
or terminate, as the case may be, the Commitment of each Lender with a Commitment.


 


Section
4.          Prepayments; Payments; Taxes.


 


4.01         Voluntary
Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans, without premium
or penalty, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on the following terms and conditions:


 


(i)            the
Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent, prior to 10:00 AM (New York time) at its Notice Office, at least ten (10) Business
Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay such Loans, the amount
of such prepayment and the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were made, which notice the Administrative
Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders;


 


(ii)           each
partial prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01 shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000 (or
such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent in any given case);


 


(iii)           at
the time of any prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01 which occurs on any date other than the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay the amounts required pursuant to Section 2.10;


 


(iv)          except
as expressly provided in clause (v) below, each prepayment pursuant to this Section 4.01 in respect of any Loans made pursuant
to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among the Loans comprising such Borrowing, provided that at the Borrower’s
election in connection with any prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01, such prepayment shall not, so long as no Event
of Default then exists, be applied to any Loan of a Defaulting Lender until all other Loans of Non-Defaulting Lenders have been
repaid in full; and


 


(v)           in
the event of a refusal by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to
this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 11.13(b), the Borrower
may, upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative
Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders) repay all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees, and other
amounts owing to such Lender in accordance with, and subject to the requirements of, said Section 11.13(b) so long as (I) all Commitments
of such Lender are terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to Section 4.02(d) (at which time Schedule I hereto
shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed Commitments) and (II) the consents, if any, required under Section 11.13(b) in
connection with the repayment pursuant to this clause (b) have been obtained.


 


(b)           Loans
prepaid pursuant to this Section 4.01 may not be reborrowed.

4.02        Mandatory
Repayments and Commitment Reductions.


 


(a)           In
addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, the Borrower shall be required
to repay Loans on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the Scheduled Amortization Payment Amount for such Payment Date.


 


(b)           In
addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment reductions required pursuant to this Section 4.02, but without duplication,
on (i) the date of any Collateral Disposition involving a Collateral Vessel (other than a Collateral Disposition constituting an
Event of Loss), (ii) the earlier of (A) the date which is 120 days following any Collateral Disposition constituting an Event of
Loss described in clause (x) of the definition of Event of Loss involving a Collateral Vessel (or, if such date is not a Business
Day, on the following Business Day) and (B) the date of receipt by the Corporate Guarantor, the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor
or the Administrative Agent of the insurance proceeds relating to such Event of Loss (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on
the following Business Day) and (iii) the date which is 30 days after any Collateral Disposition constituting an Event of Loss
described in clause (y) of the definition of Event of Loss involving a Collateral Vessel (unless prior to such thirtieth day, such
Event of Loss ceases to constitute an Event of Loss), in each case, the Borrower shall repay an aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Loans in an amount equal to the Attributable Loan Amount of the affected Collateral Vessel. For the avoidance of doubt, and without
duplication of the prepayment required in Section 4.02(c), on any date on which the Borrower is required to make a mandatory prepayment
in connection with a Collateral Disposition under this clause (b), if after giving effect to such prepayment the Borrower is or
would not be in compliance with the ratio set forth in Section 8.07(b) (based on the most recent Appraisals delivered to the Administrative
Agent under Section 7.01(d)), the Borrower shall be required to post Additional Collateral or make an additional prepayment in
amount sufficient to cure such non-compliance.


 


(c)           In
addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment reductions required pursuant to this Section 4.02, but without duplication,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default resulting from a breach of Section 8.07(b) and without duplication of the undertakings
in such Section, the Borrower shall be required to immediately repay Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.02(f)
in an amount required to cure such Event of Default, provided that it is understood and agreed that the requirement to repay Loans
under this Section 4.02(c) shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right or remedy that any Lender may have as a result of an
Event of Default resulting from a breach of Section 8.07(b).


 


(d)           In
addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment reductions required pursuant to this Section 4.02, but without duplication,
upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Borrower shall repay an aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans in full.


 


(e)           In
addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment reductions required pursuant to this Section 4.02, but without duplication,
if it becomes unlawful or impossible:


 




    	-44-



     


    

 


(i)             for
any Credit Party to discharge any liability under the Credit Documents or to comply with any other obligation which the Required
Lenders consider material under the Credit Documents, or


 


(ii)            for
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders to exercise or enforce any material right under, or to enforce any
security interest created by the Credit Documents,


 


then the Borrower shall repay
an aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans in full.


 


(f)            All
prepayments of the Loans or commitment reductions pursuant to Section 4.01(a) shall be applied pro rata to the outstanding Loans
and pro rata among the future Scheduled Amortization Payment Amounts and the balloon payment due on the Maturity Date. All prepayments
of the Loans pursuant to Sections 4.02 (other than Section 4.02(a)) and 8.07(b)(y) shall be applied pro rata to the outstanding
Loans and against the future Scheduled Amortization Payment Amounts and the balloon payment due on the Maturity Date in inverse
order of maturity. All repayments of the Loans pursuant to Section 4.02(a) shall be applied pro rata to the outstanding Loans and
against the Scheduled Amortization Payment Amounts and the balloon payments due on the Maturity Date in direct order of maturity.


 


(g)           The
Attributable Loan Amount of the Collateral Vessels shall be reduced as follows:


 


(i)            each
voluntary prepayment of Term Loans or commitment reduction pursuant to Sections 4.01(a), 4.02(c), 4.02(f) and 8.07(b)(y) shall
permanently reduce the Attributable Loan Amount of the Vessels on a dollar for dollar basis as directed by the Borrower; and


 


(ii)           each
prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 4.02(b) shall reduce the Attributable Loan Amount of the affected Collateral Vessel
to zero.


 


For the avoidance of doubt, the parties
hereto acknowledge and confirm that the reduction of the Attributable Loan Amount pursuant to this clause (g) has the effect of
applying the relevant prepayment to reduce future Scheduled Amortization Payment Amounts and the balloon payment due on the Maturity
Date in accordance with Section 4.02(f).


 


(h)          With
respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 4.02, the Borrower may designate the specific Borrowing or Borrowings
pursuant to which such Loans were made, provided that (i) repayments of Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02 may only be made on
the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all Loans with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment
have been paid in full and (ii) each repayment of any Loans comprising a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans.
In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject
to the preceding provisions of this clause (h), make such designation in its sole reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation,
to minimize breakage costs owing pursuant to Section 2.10.


 


(i)            The
Loans repaid pursuant to this Section 4.02 may not be reborrowed.


 




    	-45-



     


    

 


(j)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement (other than the other mandatory repayments and commitment reductions
required pursuant to this Section 4.02), all then outstanding Loans shall be repaid in full on the Maturity Date.


 


4.03        Method
and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement or any Note shall
be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 10:00 AM (New York
time) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office of the Administrative
Agent or such other office in the State of New York as the Administrative Agent may hereafter designate in writing. Whenever any
payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof
shall be extended to the first succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at
the applicable rate during such extension; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Loan would otherwise
expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month,
such Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day.


 


4.04         Net
Payments; Taxes.


 


(a)           All
payments made by any Credit Party hereunder or under any Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. All such
payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes imposed with respect to such payments
unless required by applicable law. If applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Taxes from or in respect of any
sum payable under any Note, then:


 


(i)            the
Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding,


 


(ii)           the
Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority and


 


(iii)          in
the case of any Indemnified Taxes, the Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Indemnified Taxes, and such additional amounts
as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or deduction
for or on account of any Indemnified Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note.


 




    	-46-



     


    

 


If any amounts are payable in respect of
Indemnified Taxes pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender, upon the written request of
such Lender, for Taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which
such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or under the laws
of any political subdivision or Governmental Authority of any such jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the
principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located and for any withholding of Taxes as such Lender shall determine
are payable by, or withheld from, such Lender, in respect of such amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the
preceding sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to this sentence. The Borrower shall
indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified
Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required
to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate
as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),
or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower
will use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date of payment of any
Indemnified Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of Tax receipts evidencing such payment or other evidence
of such payment by the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon
its written request, for the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender.


 


(b)          Without
duplicating the payments under subsection (a) above, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary
Taxes and any other excise (in the nature of a documentary or similar Tax), property, intangible, filing or mortgage recording
Taxes or charges or similar levies imposed by any Governmental Authority which arise from the execution, delivery, performance,
enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Note excluding (i) such amounts imposed in connection with an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement, grant of a participation, transfer or assignment to or designation of a new applicable lending
office or other office for receiving payments under any Note, except to the extent that any such change is requested in writing
by the Borrower and (ii) the registration or presentation of a Note is mandatorily required by law (all such non-excluded Taxes
described in this Section 4.04(b) being referred to as “Other Taxes”).


 


(c)           Any
Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit
Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Recipient,
if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
to determine whether or not such Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not
be required if in the Recipient’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient
to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.
For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of payment that is treated as being from sources in the U.S. for U.S. federal income Tax
purposes, an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9 will not be subject to the restrictions in the prior sentence.


 







    	-47-



     


    

  


(d)           If
the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines in its sole discretion that it has actually received or realized a refund of any
Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Credit Party or with respect to which such Credit Party has paid additional
amounts pursuant to Section 4.04(a), it shall pay over such refund to such Credit Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments
made, or additional amounts paid, by such Credit Party under Section 4.04(a) with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise
to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with
respect to such refund) as is determined in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent or Lender in good faith, and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). In the event the Administrative
Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority, then such Credit Party, upon the written
request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to promptly repay the amount paid over to such Credit Party (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority, but without any other interest, penalties
or charges) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender. Nothing in this Section 4.04(d) shall require a Lender to disclose any
confidential information (including, without limitation, its Tax returns or its calculations).


 


(e)           If
a payment made to a Lender under any Note would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply
with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable),
such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time
or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including
as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code or an intergovernmental agreement) and such additional documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply
with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA
or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding
of any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable upon the Note, including any Taxes imposed under FATCA, the Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to make deductions or withholding. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (e), “FATCA” shall include
any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.


 


(f)            Each
Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes
attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for
such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s
failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.04(a) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Taxes
excluded in Section 4.04(a) attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in
connection with any Note, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment
or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Note or
otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative
Agent under this paragraph (f).

4.05        Application
of Proceeds. (a) All monies collected by the Collateral Agent upon any sale or other disposition
of the Collateral of each Credit Party, together with all other monies received by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent
under and in accordance with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (except to the extent (i) such monies are for the account
of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent only or (ii) released in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement
or any other Credit Document), and all distributions made in respect of the Collateral in any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership
or similar proceedings, shall be applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations in accordance as follows:


 


(i)            first,
to the payment of all amounts owing the Collateral Agent of the type described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of the definition of “Secured
Obligations”;


 


(ii)           second,
to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clause (i), each Lender’s and Other Creditor’s
Pro Rata Share of:


 


(x)       an
amount equal to the accrued and unpaid interest and fees constituting Credit Document Obligations shall be paid to the Lenders
as provided in Section 4.05(d) hereof, with each Lender receiving an amount equal to such interest and fees constituting Credit
Document Obligations, and


 


(y)      an
amount equal to periodical payments (other than payments as a result of termination or closing out of any Other Obligations) constituting
Other Obligations shall be paid to the Other Creditors as provided in Section 4.05(d) hereof, with each Other Creditor receiving
an amount equal to such periodical payments constituting Other Obligations;


 


(iii)          third,
to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), each Lender’s and Other
Creditor’s Pro Rata Share of:


 


(x)       an
amount equal to the outstanding Credit Document Obligations shall be paid to the Lenders as provided in Section 4.05(d) hereof,
with each Lender receiving an amount equal to such Credit Document Obligations, and


 


(y)       an
amount equal to the outstanding Other Obligations shall be paid to the Other Creditors as provided in Section 4.05(d) hereof, with
each Other Creditor receiving an amount equal to such Other Obligations; and

    	-49-



     


    

 


(b)           For
purposes of this Agreement, “Pro Rata Share” shall mean, when calculating a Secured Creditor's portion of any
distribution or amount, that amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the sum of the then
unpaid amount of such Secured Creditor’s Credit Document Obligations and Other Obligations, and the denominator of which
is the sum of the outstanding amount of all Credit Document Obligations and Other Obligations.


 


(c)          When
payments to Secured Creditors are based upon their respective Pro Rata Shares, the amounts received by such Secured Creditors hereunder
shall be applied (for purposes of making determinations under this Section 4.05 only) (i) first, to their Credit Document Obligations
and (ii) second, to their Other Obligations. If any payment to any Secured Creditor of its Pro Rata Share of any distribution would
result in overpayment to such Secured Creditor, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the unpaid Credit
Document Obligations or Other Obligations, as the case may be, of the other Secured Creditors, with each Secured Creditor whose
Credit Document Obligations or Other Obligations, as the case may be, have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to
such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the unpaid Credit Document Obligations or Other Obligations,
as the case may be, of such Secured Creditor and the denominator of which is the unpaid Credit Document Obligations or Other Obligations,
as the case may be, of all Secured Creditors entitled to such distribution.


 


(d)          All
payments required to be made hereunder shall be made (x) if to the Lender Creditors, to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement
for the account of the Lender Creditors, and (y) if to the Other Creditors, to the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative
(each a “Representative”) for the Other Creditors or, in the absence of such a Representative, directly to the
Other Creditors.


 


(e)           For
purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 4.05, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon
(i) the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and (ii) the Representative for the Other Creditors or, in the absence of such
a Representative, upon the Other Creditors for a determination (which the Administrative Agent, each Representative for any Other
Creditors and the Secured Creditors agree (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Collateral Agent) of the outstanding
Credit Document Obligations and Other Obligations owed to the Lender Creditors or the Other Creditors, as the case may be. Unless
it has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from an Other Creditor) to the contrary, the Collateral Agent, shall
be entitled to assume that no Interest Rate Protection Agreements are in existence.


 


(f)            It
is understood and agreed that each Credit Party shall remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between
the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral pledged and Liens granted by it under and pursuant to the Security Documents and the
aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations of such Credit Party.

or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects
only as of such specified date):


 


6.01       Corporate/Limited
Liability Company/Limited Partnership Status. Each Credit Party (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation and (ii) is duly qualified and is authorized to do business

Power and Authority. Each Credit Party has the corporate or other applicable power and authority to (i) own its property and
assets and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged and presently proposes to engage and (ii) execute, deliver

its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles
(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).


 




    	-55-



     


    

 


(b)          After
the execution and delivery thereof and upon the taking of the actions mentioned in the immediately succeeding sentence, each of
the Security Documents creates in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors a legal, valid and enforceable
fully perfected first priority security interest in and Lien on all right, title and interest of the Credit Parties party thereto
in the Collateral described therein, subject only to Permitted Liens. Subject to Sections 5.02(d) and 6.06 and the definition of
“Collateral and Guaranty Requirements,” no filings or recordings are required in order to perfect the security interests
created under any Security Document except for filings or recordings which shall have been made on or prior to each Borrowing Date.

in evidence of each such Credit Document in the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the applicable Acceptable Flag Jurisdiction,

of the Credit Parties has a place of business in any jurisdiction which requires any of the Security Documents to be filed or registered

have been made or will be made, in accordance with Section 5.


 


6.05       No
Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a party,
nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions thereof, will (i) contravene any material provision of any applicable law, statute,
rule or regulation or any applicable order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) materially
violate or result in any material breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under,

the material properties or assets of any Credit Party pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement
or loan agreement, or any other material agreement, contract or instrument, to which any Credit Party is a party or by which it
or any of its material property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject or (iii) violate any provision of the Organizational
Documents of any Credit Party.

6.06       Governmental
Approvals.


 


(a)          No
order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with or exemption by, any
governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with,
(i) the execution, delivery and performance by any Credit Party of any Credit Document to which it is a party or (ii) the legality,
validity, binding effect or enforceability of any Credit Document to which it is a party, in each case, except (x) as have been
obtained or made or (y) filings or other requisite actions necessary to perfect or establish the priority of the Liens created
under the Security Documents.


 


(b)          No
fees or taxes, including, without limitation, stamp, transaction, registration or similar taxes, are required to be paid to ensure
the legality, validity, or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents other than recording and filing
fees and/or taxes which have been, or will be, paid as and to the extent due. Under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands,
the choice of the laws of the State of New York as set forth in the Credit Documents which are stated to be governed by the laws
of the State of New York is a valid choice of law, and the irrevocable submission by each Credit Party to jurisdiction and
consent to service of process and, where necessary, appointment by such Credit Party of an agent for service of process, in each
case as set forth in such Credit Documents, is legal, valid, binding and effective.

Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and
whether or not due) which, either individually or in the aggregate, would be materially adverse to the Corporate Guarantor, the

provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein
and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of
such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agents may perform any
of their duties hereunder by or through its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates and, may assign from
time to time any or all of its rights, duties and obligations hereunder and under the Security Documents to any of its banking
affiliates.


 


(b)          The
Lenders hereby irrevocably designate and appoint CACIB as security trustee solely for the purpose of holding the Collateral Vessel
Mortgages on each of the Collateral Vessels in an Acceptable Flag Jurisdiction on behalf of the Lenders, from time to time, with
regard to the (i) security, powers, rights, titles, benefits and interests (both present and future) constituted by and conferred
on the Lenders or any of them or for the benefit thereof under or pursuant to the Collateral Vessel Mortgages (including, without
limitation, the benefit of all covenants, undertakings, representations, warranties and obligations given, made or undertaken by
any Lender in the Collateral Vessel Mortgages), (ii) all money, property and other assets paid or transferred to or vested in any

The duties of each of the Agents shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; none of the Agents shall have by reason of this
Agreement or any other Credit Document any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note; and nothing
in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon

(b)          It
is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Credit Documents (or any other similar
term) with reference to the Administrative Agent in such capacity is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or
express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom,
and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

10.03       Lack
of Reliance on the Agents. Independently and without reliance upon the Agents, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to
the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition

of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness
of the Corporate Guarantor, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement,
none of the Agents shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the
holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making
of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. None of the Agents shall be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note
for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing
delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability,
priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of the Corporate Guarantor, the
Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of
any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of the Corporate
Guarantor, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.


 


10.04       Certain
Rights of the Agents. If any of the Agents shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or
action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Agents shall be entitled
to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Agents shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders;
and the Agents shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender or
the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agents as a result of any of the Agents acting or
refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.


 


10.05       Reliance.
Each of the Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice,
statement, certificate, email, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone
message signed, sent or made by any Person that the applicable Agent reasonably believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect

the Required Lenders (without regard to the existence of any Defaulting Lenders), for and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may
be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by such Agents in performing their respective duties hereunder or under any other Credit
Document, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document (including, without limitation,
as a result of a breach of any Sanctions Laws by a Credit Party); provided that no Lender shall be liable in respect to
an Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses
or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The indemnities contained in this Section 10.06 shall cover any cost, loss
or liability incurred by each Indemnified Party in any jurisdiction arising or asserted under or in connection with any law relating

is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case
may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

Claim asserted against the Corporate Guarantor, the Borrower, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any Collateral Vessel or
any real property or facility at any time owned or operated by the Corporate Guarantor, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors,
or


 


(vi)         the conduct of any
Credit Party or any of its partners, directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors, that violates any Sanctions Laws,


 


in each case excluding any losses, liabilities,
claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the
gross negligence of, the breach in bad faith of the Credit Documents by, or wilful misconduct of, any such Indemnified Party or
by reason of a failure by any such Indemnified Party to fund its Commitments as required by this Agreement. To the extent that
the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless each of the Agents or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be
unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
party hereto shall be responsible to any Person for any consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages which may be alleged
by such Person arising out of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents.

11.02       Right
of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation
of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized at
any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Subsidiary or the Borrower
or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits
(general or special) and any other Financial Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation,
by branches and agencies of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Corporate Guarantor, the Borrower
or any of their respective Subsidiaries but in any event excluding assets held in trust for any such Person against and on account
of the Credit Document Obligations and liabilities of the Corporate Guarantor, the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable,
to such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in
Credit Document Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 11.06(b), and all other claims of any nature or description
arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall
have made any demand hereunder and although said Credit Document Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent
or unmatured.


 


11.03       Notices.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing
(including telegraphic, telecopier or e-mail communication) and mailed, e-mailed, telecopied or delivered: if to any Credit Party,
at the Borrower’s address and WLR/TRF Shipping S.à r.l.’s address, in each case, as specified on Schedule

Agent, at its Notice Office; or, as to any Credit Party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written
notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address as shall be designated by such Lender in a written

11.04       Benefit
of Agreement; Assignments; Participations. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable
by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that (i) no Credit Party may assign
or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior written consent
of the Lenders, (ii) although any Lender may grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender”
for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in
Section 11.04(b)) and no participant shall constitute a “Lender” hereunder and (iii) no Lender shall transfer or grant
any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any
other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (x) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or
Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Commitment Commission
thereon (except (I) in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates and (II) that any
amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest
for purposes of this clause (x)) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation
over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory
reduction in the Total Commitments shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any
Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased
as a result thereof), (y) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement or (z) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided
in the Credit Documents) securing the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation,
the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights
against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of
the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not
sold such participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,
maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest)
of each participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Note (the “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 commitments, loans or its other obligations
under any Note) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter
of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the 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 the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to
the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility
for maintaining a Participant Register.


 


(b)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may:


 


(x)           assign
all or a portion of its Commitment and/or its outstanding Loans to its (i) parent company and/or any Affiliate of such Lender or
its parent company or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, any other fund that invests in
bank loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor,
(iii) a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing
in loans, securities or other financial assets, which is advised by, or the assets of which are managed or serviced by a Lender
or (iv) to one or more Lenders or


 




    	-98-



     


    

 


(y)          assign,
with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in each case which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed and in the case of the Borrower, (i) shall not be required if any Default under Section 9.01 or 9.05 or any Event of Default
is then in existence and (ii) shall be deemed to have been granted within 5 Business Days from the day it has been sought unless
expressly refused within that period), all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $5,000,000 (and in increments of $1,000,000
in excess thereof (unless agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning
Lenders, of such Commitments and outstanding principal amount of Loans hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating
any fund that invests in bank loans and any other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed or advised by the same investment
advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Transferee), each of which assignees shall
become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement,


 


provided that (i) at such time Schedule I
hereto shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments (and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be) of such new Lender and
of the existing Lenders, (ii) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning
Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section
2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments (and/or outstanding Loans, as the
case may be), (iii) the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment pursuant to preceding
clause (y) (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the
time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500.
To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 11.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder
with respect to its assigned Commitments (it being understood that the indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, Sections 2.09, 2.10, 4.04, 11.01, 11.17 and 11.18) shall survive as to such assigning Lender with respect to
matters occurring prior to the date such assigning Lender ceases to be a Lender). To the extent that an assignment of all or any
portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Credit Document Obligations pursuant to Section 2.12 or this Section
11.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.09, 2.10 or 4.04 from those being charged
by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs
(although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from any Change
in Law after the date of the respective assignment).


 


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

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


 


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


 


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


 


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

11.07       Calculations;
Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except
as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Lenders). In addition, all computations
determining compliance with the Financial Covenants shall utilize accounting principles and policies in conformity with those in
effect on the Closing Date (with the foregoing generally accepted accounting principles, subject to the preceding proviso, herein
called “GAAP”), subject, in the case of the unaudited financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments
and the absence of footnotes. Unless otherwise noted, all references in this Agreement to “GAAP” shall mean generally
accepted accounting principles as in effect in the United States.


 


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


 


11.08      Agreement
Binding. The Corporate Guarantor, the Borrower and each other Credit Party agree that they shall be bound by the terms of this
Agreement and the obligations and covenants expressed to be binding on each of them under this Agreement even if the terms, covenants
or obligations contained hereunder are inconsistent with, or less favorable to the Corporate Guarantor, the Borrower or such Credit
Party (as the case may be) than the Corporate Guarantor’s, the Borrower’s or such Credit Party’s rights and obligations
under any other document that they are a party to or are otherwise bound by, including without limitation, the Commercial Management
Agreement and Technical Management Agreement, notwithstanding that the Lender Creditors are aware of or have been provided with
such other document pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.

THE PURPOSES OF THIS PROVISION SATISFACTORY TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT; PROVIDED THAT ANY FAILURE ON THE PART OF THE BORROWER

provided, further,
that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (A) increase or extend the Commitments of any Lender over the amount
thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of Section 2.01(b),
conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall not constitute
an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall
not constitute an increase in the Commitment of such Lender), (B) without the consent of each Agent, amend, modify or waive any
provision of Section 10 as same applies to such Agent or any other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of such
Agent or (C) without the consent of the Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations
of the Collateral Agent.


 


(b)          If,
in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated
by clauses (i) through (vi), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 11.13(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained
but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required (any such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”)
is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have the right, so long as all Non-Consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required
are treated as described in either clauses (i) or (ii) below, to either (i) replace each such Non-Consenting Lender (or, at the
option of the Borrower if the respective Non-Consenting Lender’s consent is required with respect to less than all Loans
(or related Commitments) of such Non-Consenting Lender, to replace only the respective Commitments and/or Loans of the respective
Non-Consenting Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Non-Consenting Lender’s individual consent) with one or
more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12 so long as at the time
of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (ii) terminate
such Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment (if such Non-Consenting Lender’s consent is required as a result of its Commitment),
and/or repay the outstanding Loans and terminate any outstanding Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender which gave rise to the
need to obtain such Non-Consenting Lender’s consent, in accordance with Sections 3.02(b) and/or 4.01(a), provided
that, unless the Commitments that are terminated and/or the Loans that are repaid pursuant to preceding clause (ii) are immediately
replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or the outstanding Loans
of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding
clause (ii) the Required Lenders (determined before giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto,
provided, further, that in any event the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate such Lender’s
Commitment or repay such Lender’s Loan solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding
of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 11.13(a).


 


(c)          The
Administrative Agent, the Corporate Guarantor and the Borrower may amend any Credit Document to correct administrative errors or

11.14      Survival.
All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 2.09, 2.10, 4.04, 11.01, 11.17 and 11.18 shall survive
the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Loans.


 


11.15       Domicile
of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its pro rata portion of the Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary
or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans
pursuant to this Section 11.15 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.09, 2.10
or 4.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay
such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting
from changes after the date of the respective transfer).


 


11.16       Confidentiality.
(a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 11.16, each Lender agrees that it will not disclose without the prior
consent of the Corporate Guarantor (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors or counsel or to another Lender if the Lender
or such Lender’s holding or parent company or board of trustees in its sole discretion determines that any such party should
have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 11.16 to the same extent
as such Lender) any information with respect to the Corporate Guarantor, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries which
is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided that any Lender may
disclose any such information (i) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section
11.16(a) by the respective Lender, (ii) as may be required in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state
or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (iii) as
may be required in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) in order to comply with any law,
order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (v) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (vi) to any auditor
or professional financial or legal advisor of such Lender employed in the normal course of its business, (vii) to any branch, Affiliate
or Subsidiary of such Lender or to the parent company, head office or regional office of such Lender in connection with the transactions
contemplated herein and (viii) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer
or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender (it being understood that for the purpose
of this clause (viii), other than during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to apprise the Corporate Guarantor of the potential transferee), provided that such prospective transferee expressly agrees
to execute and does execute (including by way of customary “click through” arrangements) a confidentiality agreement
and be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 11.16.


 


(b)          Each
of the Corporate Guarantor and the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its affiliates
any information related to the Corporate Guarantor, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries (including, without limitation,
any nonpublic customer information regarding the creditworthiness of the Corporate Guarantor, the Borrower or their respective
Subsidiaries), provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 11.16 to the same extent as such Lender.

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


 


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

11.19       Language.
All correspondence, including, without limitation, all notices, reports and/or certificates, delivered by any Credit Party to the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender shall, unless otherwise agreed by the respective recipients thereof, be
submitted in the English language or, to the extent the original of such document is not in the English language, such document
shall be delivered with a certified English translation thereof.


 


11.20      Waiver
of Immunity. The Borrower, in respect of itself, each other Credit Party, its and their process agents, and its and their properties
and revenues, hereby irrevocably agrees that, to the extent that the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of its or their properties
has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States, any Acceptable Flag
Jurisdiction or elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon the Credit Document Obligations of the Borrower or any other Credit Party
related to or arising from the transactions contemplated by any of the Credit Documents, including, without limitation, immunity
from service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal, immunity from execution of a judgment,
and immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon
a judgment, the Borrower, for itself and on behalf of the other Credit Parties, hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent
permissible under applicable law, any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether
in the United States, any Acceptable Flag Jurisdiction or elsewhere.


 


11.21      USA
PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot
Act (Title III of Pub.: 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot
Act”), it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information
includes the name of each Credit Party and other “know your customer” information that will allow such Lender to identify
each Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act and anti-money laundering rules
and regulations, and each Credit Party agrees to provide such information from time to time to any Lender.


 


11.22      Severability.
If any provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable: (a) the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected
or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions; provided that the Lenders shall charge no fee in connection with any such amendment. The invalidity of a provision
in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalid or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.23      Flag
Jurisdiction Transfer. In the event that the Borrower desires to implement a Flag Jurisdiction Transfer with respect
to a Collateral Vessel, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice thereof from the Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall use commercially
reasonably efforts to provide, or (as necessary) procure the provision of, all such reasonable assistance as any Credit Party may
request from time to time in relation to (i) the Flag Jurisdiction Transfer, (ii) the related deregistration of the relevant Collateral
Vessel from its previous flag jurisdiction, and (iii) the release and discharge of the related Security Documents; provided
that the relevant Credit Party shall pay all documented out of pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Collateral
Agent in connection with provision of such assistance. Each Lender hereby consents in connection with any Flag Jurisdiction Transfer
and subject to the satisfaction of the requirements thereof to be satisfied by the relevant Credit Party, to (x) deregister
such Collateral Vessel from its previous flag jurisdiction and (y) release and hereby direct the Collateral Agent to release the
relevant Collateral Vessel Mortgage. Each Lender hereby directs the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent agrees to execute
and deliver or, at the Borrower’s expense, file such documents and perform other actions reasonably necessary to release
the relevant Collateral Vessel Mortgages when and as directed pursuant to this Section 11.23.


 


Section
12. Corporate Guaranty.


 


12.01       Guaranty.
In order to induce the Administrative Agent, the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder, and to induce
the Other Creditors to enter into Interest Rate Protection Agreements, and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received
by the Corporate Guarantor from the proceeds of the Loans, the Corporate Guarantor hereby agrees with the Secured Creditors as
follows: the Corporate Guarantor hereby and unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Secured Creditors the full and prompt
payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the Secured Obligations to the Secured Creditors.
This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. If any or all of the Secured Obligations becomes due and payable hereunder,
the Corporate Guarantor, unconditionally and irrevocably, promises to pay such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent and/or
the other Secured Creditors, or order, on demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative
Agent and the other Secured Creditors in collecting any of the Secured Obligations. If a claim is ever made upon any Secured Creditor
for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Secured Obligations and any
of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative
body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected
by such payee with any such claimant (including the Borrower), then and in such event the Corporate Guarantor agrees that any such
judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon the Corporate Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation
of this Corporate Guaranty or other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and the Corporate Guarantor shall be and
remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had
never originally been received by any such payee.


 


12.02       Bankruptcy.
Additionally, the Corporate Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Secured Creditors the payment of any and
all of the Secured Obligations whether or not due or payable by the Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the events specified
in Section 9.05, and unconditionally, irrevocably, jointly and severally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Secured Creditors,
or order, on demand.


 




    	-108-



     


    

 


12.03      Nature
of Liability. The liability of the Corporate Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other
guaranty of the Secured Obligations, whether executed by the Corporate Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and
the liability of the Corporate Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of
payment by the Borrower or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability
of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Secured Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty
or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower, or (e) any payment
made to any Secured Creditor on the Secured Obligations which any such Secured Creditor repays to the Borrower or any other Subsidiary
of the Corporate Guarantor pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief
proceeding, and the Corporate Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason
of any such proceeding, or (f) any action or inaction of the type described in Section 12.05.


 


12.04      Independent
Obligation. The obligations of the Corporate Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other guarantor,
any other party or the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Corporate Guarantor
whether or not action is brought against any other guarantor, any other party or the Borrower and whether or not any other guarantor,
any other party or the Borrower be joined in any such action or actions. The Corporate Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment
by the Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Borrower shall operate to toll
the statute of limitations as to the Corporate Guarantor.


 


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


 


(a)  change
the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter,
any of the Secured Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest or fees
thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Corporate Guaranty
made shall apply to such Secured Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;


 


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


 


(c)  exercise
or refrain from exercising any rights against the Borrower, any other Credit Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;


 




    	-109-



     


    

 


(d)  release
or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, the Borrower, other Credit Parties or other obligors;


 


(e)  settle
or compromise any of the Secured Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred
directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment
of any liability (whether due or not) of the Borrower to its creditors other than the Secured Creditors;


 


(f)  apply
any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of the Borrower to the Secured Creditors regardless
of what liability or liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;


 


(g)  consent
to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any of the instruments
or agreements referred to herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any other Credit Document
or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or


 


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


 


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


 


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


 




    	-110-



     


    

 


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


 


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


 


12.09       Payment.
All payments made by the Corporate Guarantor pursuant to this Section 12 shall be made in Dollars. All payments made by the Corporate
Guarantor pursuant to this Section 12 will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense.


 


12.10      Keepwell.
Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such
funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under the guarantee
contained herein in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under
this Section 12.10 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under
this Section 12.10, or otherwise under this Agreement, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent
transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 12.10 shall remain
in full force and effect until the discharge of the Secured Obligations in full. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this
Section 12.10 constitute, and this Section 12.10 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement”
for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

SCHEDULE IV-A


 


REQUIRED INSURANCE


 


Insurance to be maintained on each Collateral Vessel:


 


(a)          The
Corporate Guarantor shall, and shall cause each Credit Party to, at the Corporate Guarantor’s expense, keep each Collateral
Vessel insured with insurers and protection and indemnity clubs or associations of internationally recognized reputation, and placed
in such markets, on such terms and conditions, and through brokers, reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (it being understood
that AON, Marsh and JLT Specialty USA are satisfactory) and under forms of policies approved by the Collateral Agent against the
risks indicated below and such other risks as the Collateral Agent may reasonably specify from time to time; however, in no case
shall the Collateral Agent specify insurance in excess of the customary insurances purchased by first-class owners of comparable
vessels:


 


(i)          Marine
and war risk, including terrorism, confiscation, London Blocking and Trapping Addendum and Missing Collateral Vessel Clause, hull
and machinery insurance, hull interest insurance and freight interest insurance, together in an amount in U.S. dollars at all times
equal to or greater than the greater of (x) its Appraised Value and (y) 120% of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans outstanding
under the Term Loan Facility. The insured value for hull and machinery required under this clause (i) for each Collateral Vessel
shall at all times be in an amount equal to the greater of (x) eighty per cent (80%) of the Appraised Value of the Collateral Vessel
and (y) the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, and the remaining machine and
war risk insurance required by this clause (i) may be taken out as hull and freight interest insurance.


 


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


 


(x)          the
maximum amount reasonably available from the International Group of Protection and Indemnity Associations (the “International
Group”) or alternatively such sources of pollution, spillage or leakage coverage as are commercially available in any
absence of such coverage by the International Group as shall be carried by prudent shipowners engaged in similar trades; and


 


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


 




     


     


    

 


Schedule IV-A

Page 2


 


(iii)        Mortgagee’s
interest insurance on such conditions as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require and mortgagee’s interest insurance for
pollution risks as from time to time agreed, satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and for an amount in U.S. dollars approved by
the Collateral Agent but not being less than 120% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans outstanding pursuant
to the Credit Agreement, the Corporate Guarantor, the Borrower and the Collateral Vessel Owner having no interest or entitlement
in respect of such policies; all such mortgagee’s interest insurance cover shall be obtained directly by the Collateral Agent
and the Collateral Agent undertakes to use its best endeavors to match the premium level that the Corporate Guarantor would have
paid if they had arranged such cover on such conditions (as demonstrated by the reasonable satisfaction of the Collateral Agent),
provided that in no event shall the Corporate Guarantor be required to reimburse the Collateral Agent for any such costs
in excess of the premium level then available to the Collateral Agent in the market.


 


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


 


(b)          The
marine and commercial war-risk insurance required in this Schedule IV-A for the Collateral Vessel shall have deductibles and franchises
in amounts reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.


 


All insurance maintained hereunder shall
be primary insurance without right of contribution against any other insurance maintained by the Collateral Agent. Each policy
of marine and war risk hull and machinery insurance with respect to each Collateral Vessel shall, if so requested by the Collateral
Agent, provide that the Collateral Agent shall be a named insured in its capacity as mortgagee and as loss payee. Each entry in
a marine and war risk protection indemnity club with respect to each Collateral Vessel shall note the interest of the Collateral
Agent. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of their respective successors and assigns shall not be responsible
for any premiums, club calls, assessments or any other obligations or for the representations and warranties made therein by the
Corporate Guarantor, any of the Corporate Guarantor’s Subsidiaries or any other Person. In addition, the Corporate Guarantor
shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for the commercially reasonable cost of Mortgagee’s Interest Insurance and MAPP
which the Administrative Agent will take out on the Collateral Vessel upon such terms and in such amounts as the Administrative
Agent shall deem appropriate.


 




     


     


    

 


Schedule IV-A

Page 3


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(ii)         they
will have endorsed on each and every policy as and when the same is issued the loss payable clause, to be in the excess of $750,000,
and the notice of assignment referred to in the relevant Assignment of Insurances for the Collateral Vessel; and


 


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


 


All policies of insurance required hereby
shall provide for not less than 14 days prior written notice (seven days in respect of war risks) to be received by the Collateral
Agent of the termination or cancellation of the insurance evidenced thereby. All policies of insurance maintained pursuant to this
Schedule IV-A for risks covered by insurance other than that provided by a P & I Club shall contain provisions waiving underwriters’
rights of subrogation thereunder against any assured named in such policy and any assignee of said assured, only to the extent
such underwriters agree to so waive rights of subrogation (provided that it is understood and agreed that the Borrower shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such waivers). The Corporate Guarantor shall, and shall cause each Credit Party to,
assign to the Collateral Agent its full rights under any policies of insurance in respect of each Collateral Vessel in accordance
with the terms contained herein (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such assignments shall include any additional value of any insurance
that exceeds the values expressly required herein in respect of each Collateral Vessel). The Corporate Guarantor agrees that it
shall, and shall cause each Credit Party to, deliver unless the insurances by their terms provide that they cannot cease (by reason
of nonrenewal or otherwise) without the Collateral Agent being informed and having the right to continue the insurance by paying
any premiums not paid by the Corporate Guarantor, receipts showing payment of premiums for Required Insurance and also of demands
from the Collateral Vessel’s P & I underwriters to the Collateral Agent at least two (2) days before the risk in question
commences.


 




     


     


    

 


Schedule IV-A

(d)          Unless
the Collateral Agent shall otherwise agree, all amounts of whatsoever nature payable under any insurance must be payable to the
Collateral Agent for distribution first to itself and thereafter to the Corporate Guarantor or others as their interests may appear,
provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, until otherwise required by the Collateral Agent by notice
to the underwriters upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, (i) amounts payable under any insurance
on the Collateral Vessel with respect to protection and indemnity risks may be paid directly to (x) the Corporate Guarantor to
reimburse it for any loss, damage or expense incurred by it and covered by such insurance or (y) the Person to whom any liability
covered by such insurance has been incurred, and (ii) amounts payable under any insurance with respect to the Collateral Vessel
involving any damage to the Collateral Vessel not constituting an Event of Loss, may be paid by underwriters directly for the repair,
salvage or other charges involved or, if the Corporate Guarantor shall have first fully repaired the damage or paid all of the
salvage or other charges, may be paid to the Corporate Guarantor as reimbursement therefor; provided, however, that if such
amounts (including any franchise or deductible) are in excess of U.S. $750,000, the underwriters shall not make such payment without
first obtaining the written consent thereto of the Collateral Agent and the loss payable clauses pertaining to such insurances
shall be endorsed to that effect.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 




     


     


    

 


Schedule IV-A

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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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