good working order and repair and without defect or inherent vice in condition, design, operation or fitness for use, whether or not discoverable by the Charterer as of the date of such acceptance, latent or otherwise, and is free and clear of all
Liens. The delivery of the Vessel by the Owner and the taking over of the Vessel by the Charterer as described above in Clause 34(a) shall constitute a full performance by the Owner of all the Owner’s obligations under this Clause
34, and thereafter the Charterer shall not be entitled to make or assert any claim of any nature whatsoever against the Owner or the Vessel (except as to Owner’s Liens) on account of any conditions, representations or warranties expressed
or implied with respect to the condition or any characteristic or the Vessel, except as set forth in Clause 34(d). 
 (c) THE OWNER
DOES NOT MAKE, HAS NOT MADE NOR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE AND WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE TITLE, SEAWORTHINESS, VALUE, CONDITION, DESIGN, MERCHANTABILITY OR OPERATION
OF THE VESSEL OR AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL, EQUIPMENT OR WORKMANSHIP IN THE VESSEL, OR AS TO THE FITNESS OF THE VESSEL FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE, AS TO THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE, AS TO THE ABSENCE OF
ANY INFRINGEMENT OF ANY PATENT, TRADEMARK OR COPYRIGHT, AS TO THE ABSENCE OF OBLIGATIONS BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT OR, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN CLAUSE 34(d), ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH
RESPECT TO THE VESSEL OR ANY PART THEREOF. 
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Clause 34, the Owner represents and
warrants that on the Vessel Delivery Date it is a Documentation Citizen and that there are no Owner Liens on the Vessel. 
 (e) The Charterer
agrees to deliver to the Owner within thirty (30) days after the Vessel Delivery Date a list of major spare parts for the Vessel delivered by the Owner to the Charterer with the Vessel. 
 35. Classification Society 
 The Charterer shall not change the Classification Society to a classification society
other than any of Bureau Veritas, the American Bureau of Shipping, Det norske Veritas, Germanischer Lloyd and Lloyd’s Register of Shipping, without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee and 

  

 12 








 
the Agent acting at the instruction of the Required Lenders during the Charter Period, and shall ensure that the Vessel maintains its registration with the
Classification Society in the highest classification and rating for container vessels, free of recommendations and notations affecting class; provided that the Charterer may satisfy any items affecting class within the time period permitted by the
Classification Society. If requested by the Mortgagee, the Charterer shall deliver annually to the Owner, the Mortgagee and the Agent, not later than each date which is the anniversary of the Mortgage, a Confirmation of Class Certificate issued by
the Classification Society showing such classification to be maintained without notation or recommendation affecting class. The Charterer shall maintain and preserve the validity of all required national and international trading and survey
certificates in respect of the Vessel. 
 36. Employment and Use 
 The Charterer covenants and agrees that, provided that carriage of lawful cargo (based on U.S. law) in the TP-1 Service shall always be permitted, and subject to Box 20 it will not (i) cause or permit the Vessel to be operated in any
manner contrary to Applicable Law, rule or regulation, (ii) abandon the Vessel in any foreign port or (iii) engage in any unlawful trade or violate any law or carry any cargo that will expose the Vessel to penalty, expropriation, nationalization,
confiscation, forfeiture or capture; provided that in the event of a conflict of laws the Charterer shall comply with United States law applicable to a U.S. flag vessel. 
 37. Survey on Redelivery 
 The Owner and the Charterer shall share equally all expenses of the Off-hire Survey
including loss of time, if any, at the daily equivalent rate of Hire or pro rata thereof. 
 38. Inspection 
 (a) The Charterer shall give the Owner at least 30 days’ prior written notice of any special survey of the Vessel. The Charterer shall give the Owner
written notice of each proposed dry-docking of the Vessel not less than 20 days in advance thereof. The Owner, and persons designated by the Owner, shall be afforded full and complete access to the Vessel, after giving reasonable notice to the
Charterer (provided that the reasonable notice requirements shall not apply if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), to inspect or survey the Vessel or instruct a duly authorized surveyor to carry out such survey on
their behalf: 
  

	 	(i)	to ascertain the condition of the Vessel, value the Vessel, inspect her papers (provided that such access does not unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Vessel) and
satisfy themselves that the Vessel is being properly repaired and maintained. The costs and fees for such inspection or survey shall be paid by the Owner unless the Vessel is found to require repairs or maintenance in order to achieve the condition
so provided; 

  

	 	(ii)	 in dry-dock; provided however, that the Owner shall not have the right to cause the Vessel to be dry-docked during any period in which the Charterer has dry-docked
the Vessel in accordance with Clause 10(g). If the Charterer has not dry-docked her in 



  

 13 









	 	 
accordance with Clause 10(g), the costs and fees for such inspection or survey shall be paid by the Charterer, otherwise such costs and fees shall be
paid by the Owner; and 


  

	 	(iii)	for any other commercial reason they consider necessary (provided it does not unduly interfere with the commercial operation of the Vessel). Except during the continuance of an
Event of Default when such costs and fees shall be paid by the Charterer, the costs and fees for such inspection and survey shall be paid by the Owner. 

 The Owner shall not have any duty to make any such inspection nor shall it incur any liability or obligation by reason of not making such inspection. No inspection carried out hereunder shall relieve the Charterer of
its obligations under this Charter. 
 (b) The Owner has the right to require on behalf of the Agent by written notice to the Charterer and
at the Charterer’s expense (i) one inspection report per year with respect to the Vessel (unless upon an occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement whereupon the Agent shall have an unlimited right to inspect
the Vessel and to receive inspection reports during such period of time) prepared by a surveyor appointed by the Agent, such reports to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and at the cost of the Charterer, and (ii) an annual review of
class records relating to the Vessel (unless upon an occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement whereupon the Agent shall have an unlimited right to inspect the class records during such period of time), showing
that the Vessel is being maintained in conformity with the requirements of the Classification Society. 
 (c) Upon receipt of the 180-day
notice of redelivery pursuant to Clause 49, the Owner shall be permitted to, at the cost and risk of the Owner and without disruption to the normal operation of the Vessel, (i) conduct an inspection of the Vessel, her Classification Society
records and her onboard maintenance records and carry out a complete inventory of spares and stores on board and (ii) place on the Vessel two (2) weeks prior to the estimated date of redelivery, two (2) representatives of the Owner who shall be
permitted to remain onboard in order to familiarize themselves with the Vessel, the Vessel’s equipment, machinery and operating procedures, with the cooperation of the Charterer, provided that it will not result in a delay to the Vessel’s
trading and operating schedule. 
 (d) The Charterer shall permit the Owner to inspect the Vessel’s log books and, make copies of the
Vessel’s books, logs and records, but the Owner shall not have any duty to do so. The Charterer shall, at the request of the Mortgagee or the Agent, deliver for inspection copies of any and all contracts and documents relating to the Vessel,
whether on board or not. The Charterer shall, whenever required by the Owner, furnish it with full information regarding any casualties or other accidents or damage to the Vessel at the Owner’s expense. During the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Charterer shall furnish the Owner and the Mortgagee promptly upon written demand, all charter parties or other contracts relating to the Vessel and full details as to the parties, times of delivery and the like pertaining thereto.

  

 14 








 39. Stores 
 The Owner
acknowledges that such fuel, diesel oil, lubricating oil and stores as may be on board the Vessel at the time of delivery thereof to the Charterer on the Vessel Delivery Date will be the property of the Charterer. The Charterer shall pay to the
Owner an amount equal to what the Owner has paid to the Seller in respect of such items. On redelivery or retaking of the Vessel, the Owner shall accept, and, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, pay to
the Charterer the last net invoice price for the fuel, diesel oil, lubricating oil and unbroached consumable stores remaining on board. Upon redelivery, copies of any logs, any drawings, plans, certificates or other technical documentation relating
to the Vessel which have been delivered pursuant to the shipbuilding contract under which the Vessel was constructed, together with all supplements and revisions thereto, which may be in the Charterer’s possession, or which may be held on
behalf of the Charterer by any third party, shall, without charge to the Owner, promptly be forwarded to the Owner and, in any event, become the property of the Owner to the extent not already owned by the Owner. The Charterer shall, at its sole
cost, be entitled to make and retain copies of such logs, drawings, plans, certificates and other technical documentation. 
 40. Maintenance and
Repair 
 (a) During the Charter Period, always at the cost and expense, procurement and risk of the Charterer, the Charterer shall
maintain and repair the Vessel and its equipment, machinery, boilers, appurtenances and spare parts in a good running order and repair, in efficient operating condition so that the Vessel and all its equipment, outfit and appurtenances shall be
tight, staunch, strong, in good condition, working order and repair, and in all respects seaworthy and fit for its intended service, except for ordinary wear and tear, and well and sufficiently tackled, appareled, furnished, and equipped, and the
Charterer shall at all times keep the Vessel in such condition as will entitle her to be in class with, and have the highest classification of and rating for vessels of the same size, age and type in, the Classification Society indicated in Box
10 with no outstanding recommendations except those items to be corrected at the Charterer’s convenience, and will furnish to the Owner and if requested by the Mortgagee, to the Mortgagee and the Agent, not later than each date which is the
anniversary hereof, a Confirmation of Class Certificate issued by the Classification Society showing such classification and rating to have been maintained without notation or recommendation affecting class, and maintain all other necessary
certificates in force at all times. The Charterer shall maintain the Vessel in as good working order and repair as when delivered, normal wear and tear excepted, in accordance with the Charterer’s standards with respect to other vessels in its
(and its consolidated Affiliates’) fleet, taking into consideration the particular characteristics, the age, the size and the origin of the Vessel, but in any event at least in accordance with industry standards for similar ships in similar
trades and schedules. 
 (b) The Charterer will promptly (x) furnish to the Owner the reports issued by the Classification Society with
respect to annual or other periodic surveys of the Vessel, (y) notify the Owner of any casualty involving any loss or damage to the Vessel in excess of $1,000,000 and, upon the written request of the Owner, provide the Owner with written information
and survey reports in connection therewith and (z) provide to the Owner, the Mortgagee and the Agent forthwith copies of all material notices and information received in relation to the Vessel, its Insurances, Earnings, classification or operation
unless such notices or information state they have been provided directly to the Mortgagee and the Agent. 
  

 15 








 (c) All maintenance and repair of the Vessel performed for the purpose of meeting the requirements of the
Classification Society, including changes in or additions to such requirements, shall be for the Charterer’s account. 
 (d)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Charterer shall be relieved of its obligations under this Clause 40 during any periods in which the Vessel is in an idle or laid–up status, provided, that the Charterer shall properly secure the Vessel
and preserve the Vessel’s machinery and equipment in accordance with good industry practices; and provided, further, that the Charterer shall, at the request of the Owner but at the Charterer’s cost and expense, restore the Vessel to
operational status in compliance with the requirements of this Clause prior to redelivery of the Vessel to the Owner at the end of the Charter Period (whether on expiration or any other termination of this Charter). 
 (e) The Charterer, at its own cost and expense, shall make all Improvements to the Vessel as may be required from time to time to meet the Applicable Law
of the Applicable Country or of any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction; provided that the Charterer shall not be required to make any such Improvements so long as the validity or applicability of such requirements are being contested by it in
good faith and by appropriate proceedings that will not result in any material danger of (i) the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Vessel or any interest therein, (ii) the assertion of any criminal penalties or material civil liability against the
Owner or (iii) a reduction in the level of classification from the Classification Society. 
 (f) The Charterer shall maintain financial
security or responsibility in respect of third party liabilities as required by any government, including federal, state or municipal or other division of authority thereof, having jurisdiction over the Vessel or the Charterer to enable the Vessel,
without penalty or charge, lawfully to enter, remain at, or leave any port, place, territorial or contiguous waters of any country, state or municipality in performance of this Charter without any delay. 
 41. Flag and Name of Vessel 
 (a) During the Charter
Period, the Charterer shall have the liberty, at its own cost and expense, to paint the Vessel in its own colors, install and display its funnel insignia and fly its own house flag. Upon delivery, the Vessel shall be registered under the Applicable
Law of the Republic of Liberia, unless the Shipbuilder will not cooperate with such registration, in which case the Vessel will be registered under the Applicable Law of the Republic of Panama. On the first Business Day or as soon thereafter as
practicable following the provisional registration of the Vessel under the Liberian or Panamanian registry, the Charterer shall cause the Vessel to be re-registered under the Applicable Law of the United States and at all times thereafter during the
Charter Period to remain duly documented in the Owner’s name and registered under such Applicable Law, duly licensed to operate in the registry trade, or (subject to Clause 41(b) hereof) under the Applicable Law of an Approved
Alternative Flag. The Charterer agrees not to do, or suffer or permit to be done, anything which can or may injuriously affect the registration or enrollment of the Vessel, or its qualification to be documented, under the laws and regulations of the
United States, or which may cause such documentation or qualification to be forfeited or canceled. 
  

 16 








 (b) Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Charterer
shall have the right at any time during the Charter Period following registration under U.S. flag to change the Vessel’s flag to an Approved Alternative Flag, provided that the Charterer shall bear the complete costs of deregistration from the
existing flag and reregistration in one of such other jurisdictions. 
 (c) In addition to Charterer’s right to reflag the Vessel
pursuant to Clause 41(b) above, the Charterer has the option to change the Vessel’s flag or port of documentation during the Charter Period to any other flag or port of documentation that they may deem necessary for their intended trade,
however always subject to the Owner’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and to the prior written consent of the Mortgagee and the Agent acting at the instruction of the Required Lenders. Any such written
consent to any one transfer or change of flag or port of documentation shall not be construed to be a waiver of this provision with respect to any subsequent proposed transfer or change of flag or port of documentation. 
 (d) The Charterer agrees to pay all expenses incurred in connection with the documentation and registration of the Vessel. In the event of any
re-registration of the Vessel under the Applicable Law of a country other than the United States, the particular provisions hereof that apply only to a U.S. flag vessel will not apply to the Vessel for so long as the Vessel is registered under
another flag. 
 (e) The Owner shall not change the Vessel’s flag without the Charterer’s written consent, which may be withheld in
the Charterer’s sole discretion. The Charterer shall remain authorized to document the Vessel in its name under the flag of the United States with a registry trade endorsement during the Charter Period, and shall give evidence thereof to the
Mortgagee on request. The Charterer shall also have the liberty, with the Owner’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, to change the name of the Vessel during the Charter Period. The certificate of documentation
shall remain on board the Vessel at all times and shall be made available to the Owner or Persons designated by the Owner for review and inspection. The Owner agrees to surrender the Vessel’s certificate of documentation when required (i) by
reason of any request from time to time by the Charterer to change the name of the Vessel (provided the Charterer shall have obtained the prior written consent of the Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to such change in name)
or (ii) by reason of any election by the Charterer pursuant to this Clause 41 to change the Vessel’s flag. Subject to the requirements set forth in this Clause 41, the Owner shall cooperate in any permitted redocumentation of the
Vessel, at the Charterer’s cost and expense. 
 (f) Upon redelivery of the Vessel, the Charterer shall, at its own cost and expense, at
the Owner’s request given at least 180 days prior to expiration of the Charter Period, redocument the Vessel in the name of the Owner under the laws of an Approved Alternative Flag and in which the Vessel, assuming it is in the condition
required hereby, may be so registered (such country, the “Return Country”). It is understood and agreed that the Charterer shall not be required to make any modifications to the Vessel or obtain any additional certificates or otherwise
incur any expense in order to qualify the Vessel for documentation under the laws of an Approved Alternative Flag. 
  

 17 








 (g) Painting and re-painting, installment and re-installment, registration and re-registration, shall be
at the Charterer’s expense and time. 
 (h) The Charterer shall be entitled to make changes to the Vessel so long as such changes do not
materially diminish the value of the Vessel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Clause 40(e), the Charterer shall not make, or permit to be made, any substantial change in the structure, type or speed of the Vessel unless it shall have
received the Owner’s and the Mortgagee’s prior written approval; provided that no Improvement may be made that would diminish the Vessel’s Fair Market Sale Value, remaining expected useful life, utility, class or the expected residual
value as at the end of the Charter Period; provided, further, however, that the Charterer shall make any changes which shall be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Applicable Country or the Classification Society in
order to entitle the Vessel to the highest classification and rating for vessels of the same age and type. The Charterer shall have the right, from time to time, in its discretion, and without application to the Owner or the Mortgagee, and without
obtaining a release thereof by the Owner or the Mortgagee, to dispose of, free from the Lien of the Mortgage, any boilers, engines, machinery, bowsprits, masts, spars, sails, rigging, boats, anchors, apparel, furniture, fittings, equipment or any
other appurtenances to the Vessel that are no longer useful, necessary, profitable or advantageous in the operation of the Vessel, first or simultaneously replacing the same, if desired by the Owner, by replacement boilers, engines, machinery,
bowsprits, masts, spars, sails, rigging, boats, anchors, apparel, furniture, fittings, equipment or other appurtenances of reasonably equivalent value as reasonably determined by the Charterer which shall forthwith become subject to the Lien of the
Mortgage. Title to all permitted non-severable Improvements shall without further act, vest in the Owner. The Charterer shall, if the Owner so requires, restore the Vessel to its former condition before the termination of this Charter. 

42. Use of the Vessel’s Outfit, Equipment and Appliances 
 The
Charterer shall have the use of all outfit, equipment, furniture, furnishings, appliances and spare or replacement Parts on board the Vessel at the time of delivery, provided the same or their substantial equivalent shall be returned to the Owner on
redelivery or retaking of the Vessel in the same good order and condition as when received, excepting ordinary wear and tear. The Charterer shall from time to time during the Charter Period replace such items of equipment as shall be so damaged or
worn as to be unfit for use or that shall have been lost or destroyed. 
 43. Additional Outfit, Tools, etc. 
 The Charterer shall at its own cost and expense provide such additional outfit, tools, replacement parts, crockery, linen and other property as it may elect, and such
items shall remain the property of the Charterer. 
 44. Replacement Parts 
 (a) Subject to Clause 44(c), those spare or replacement Parts that are included in the definition of the term “Vessel” in accordance with
Clause 44(b), or their substantial 

  

 18 








 
equivalent, shall be transferred to the Owner, without cost, on redelivery or retaking of the Vessel, and all such spare or replacement Parts shall be in
good order and condition, excepting ordinary wear and tear. 
 (b) The Charterer, at its own cost and expense, as required by or in order to
maintain compliance with the Applicable Law of the Applicable Country or Classification Society regulations, rules and orders, will replace all Parts which may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged
beyond repair or rendered permanently unfit for use for any reason whatsoever; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to such Parts that would otherwise constitute Removable Parts pursuant to Clause 44(c); provided, further, that the
Charterer shall remove any such Removable Parts that have become worn out, destroyed, or damaged beyond repair. In addition, the Charterer may, in the ordinary course of maintenance, repair or overhaul of the Vessel, remove any Part, provided that
the Charterer shall replace such item as promptly as possible by a replacement Part. All replacement Parts shall be free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), in as good operating condition as, as seaworthy as and shall have a value
and utility at least equal to, the Parts being replaced. Any Part removed from the Vessel as provided in the preceding sentence shall remain the property of the Owner and shall remain part of the Vessel until replaced in accordance with the terms of
such sentence, but shall then, without further act, become the property of the Charterer. Any such replacement Part shall, without further act, become the property of the Owner and be deemed part of the “Vessel” as defined herein for all
purposes hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Charterer installs temporary replacement Parts pending completion of permanent repairs or installation of permanent replacement Parts (such temporary replacement Parts being
herein called “Temporary Replacements”), (i) permanent replacement Parts will be installed on the Vessel at a time and in a manner consistent with customary practice of the Charterer, but in no event later than redelivery of the Vessel
pursuant hereto (whether pursuant to Clause 15, the exercise of remedies under Clause 59 or otherwise), (ii) title to the Temporary Replacements shall not vest in the Owner and (iii) the Temporary Replacements shall not be deemed part
of the “Vessel”; provided, however, that until the corresponding Temporary Replacements shall be replaced in accordance with the preceding sentences of this paragraph, all Parts removed from the Vessel shall remain the property of the
Owner and shall continue to be part of the Vessel. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Clause 44 to the contrary, the Charterer
may remove any Part if such Part (a “Removable Part”) (i) is in addition to, and not in replacement of or substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Vessel at the time of delivery thereof
hereunder or any Part in replacement of or substitution for any such Part, (ii) is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Vessel pursuant to the terms of this Clause 44 and (iii) can be removed from the
Vessel without resulting in material damage thereto (it being understood that the Charterer shall promptly repair any damage caused by the removal of any Part) and without diminishing the Vessel’s Fair Market Sale Value, remaining expected
useful life, utility or the expected residual value as at the end of the Charter Period assuming the Vessel was maintained in the condition required by the terms of this Charter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Charterer shall not allow the
removal of any Removable Part if (i) the same would be necessary to maintain the Vessel in class with, and with the highest classification of, the Classification Society, with no outstanding recommendations or notices, or to comply with any
requirements of any Governmental Entity necessary for the Vessel’s documentation upon redelivery or retaking or (ii) the Owner shall have elected to purchase the same from the Charterer under Clause 44(d). 
  

 19 








 (d) At any time after the Charterer has advised the Owner that it has determined not to purchase the
Vessel, or the Vessel is otherwise to be returned to the Owner, the Charterer shall, at the Owner’s request, advise the Owner of the nature and condition of all Removable Parts owned by the Charterer and which the Charterer has or intends to
remove from the Vessel as permitted by Clause 44(c). The Owner may, at its option upon 30 days’ written notice to the Charterer, purchase any or all of such Removable Parts at the end of the Charter Period for their then Fair Market Sale
Value (as determined by mutual agreement of the Owner and the Charterer or, if they cannot so agree, by an Appraisal), other than (i) the lashing gear, (ii) any Parts owned or leased by the Charterer and (iii) any Parts that constitute proprietary
equipment of the Charterer. 
 (e) The Classification Society shall be the final arbiter of any dispute with respect to the condition of the
Vessel and the Charterer’s compliance with the foregoing sections. 
 45. Charter Hire 
 (a) The Charterer shall pay to the Owner for the hire of the Vessel the Basic Hire payable during the Basic Period which is set forth in Box 22, as
adjusted pursuant to the Agreement to Acquire and Charter. Such Basic Hire shall be payable in equal quarterly installments in advance commencing on the Payment Date corresponding to the Vessel Delivery Date as set forth in Schedule 2 attached
hereto. 
 (b) It is recognized and acknowledged that Basic Hire during the Basic Period and Renewal Period (if any) as set forth in Box
22, the EBO Prices set forth in Schedule 1 hereto, and the Stipulated Loss Values set forth in Schedule 3 hereto are based on certain pricing assumptions. Upon delivery of the Vessel in accordance with Clause 34, the Owner
and the Charterer shall execute a Charter Supplement No. 1 substantially in the form of Appendix 1 hereto to reflect the Basic Hire, EBO Prices and Stipulated Loss Values as adjusted pursuant to the Agreement to Acquire and Charter.

 (c) It is acknowledged and agreed that the Basic Hire, EBO Prices and Stipulated Loss Values established on the Vessel Delivery Date
pursuant to Clause 45(b) above are subject to further adjustment in accordance with Section 1.5(c) of the Agreement to Acquire and Charter. Upon any such further adjustment, the Owner and the Charterer shall execute a Charter Supplement
substantially in the form of Appendix 2 hereto to reflect such adjustment. 
 (d) In the event the Charterer elects to extend the
Charter for the Renewal Period, the Charterer shall pay the Basic Hire payable during the Renewal Period which is set forth in Box 22, as adjusted pursuant to the Agreement to Acquire and Charter. Such Basic Hire shall be payable in quarterly
installments in advance commencing on the Payment Date corresponding to the first day of the Renewal Period. 
 (e) This Charter is a hell or
high water charter and the Charterer’s obligation for payments hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall not be affected by any circumstances of any character, including (i) any setoff, 

  

 20 








 
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Charterer or any other Person may have against the Owner or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever, including any default by the Owner or any other Person in its respective obligations hereunder or under any other agreement, (ii) any unavailability of the Vessel, after its delivery and acceptance by the Charterer hereunder, for any
reason, including any lack or invalidity of title or any other defect in the title, seaworthiness, condition, design, operation or fitness for use of the Vessel, or the ineligibility of the Vessel for documentation or for a particular trade, (iii)
any failure or delay on the part of the Owner or any other Person, whether with or without fault on its part, in performing or complying with any of the terms or covenants hereunder, or any other agreement, (iv) any damage to the Vessel or
interruption or cessation in the use or possession thereof by the Charterer for any reason whatsoever and of whatever duration with an Total Loss to be dealt with as provided in Clauses 46 and 48, (v) any insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or similar proceeding by or against the Owner, the Charterer, the Guarantor or any other Person, (vi) any breach of any representation or warranty of, or any act or omission
of, the Owner under this Charter or any other agreement at any time existing between the Owner and the Charterer and/or the Guarantor, (vii) any deprivation of use of the Vessel by reason of any act or omission of the Owner or any other Person,
(viii) any claims as a result of any other business dealings by the Owner, the Charterer, the Guarantor or any other Person, (ix) the requisitioning, seizure or other taking of title to or use of the Vessel by any Governmental Entity or otherwise
whether or not by reason of any act or omission of the Owner, the Charterer or the Guarantor (in which case the provisions of Clause 48 or 57 will apply), or any other deprivation or limitation of use of the Vessel in any respect or for any
length of time, whether or not resulting from accident and whether or not without fault on the part of the Charterer or the Guarantor, (x) any embargo on the shipment of any products or any prohibition against the loading or discharging of vessels
containing the same, (xi) the interference with or prohibition of the Charterer’s use of the Vessel, (xii) the invalidity or unenforceability or lack of due authorization or other infirmity of this Charter or any subcharter, (xiii) the lack of
right, power or authority of the Owner to enter into this Charter, (xiv) any ineligibility of the Vessel for any particular trade or activity, whether due to any failure of the Owner, the Charterer, the Guarantor or any other Person to comply with
any Applicable Law or otherwise, (xv) any event of force majeure or any frustration, (xvi) any Applicable Law or (xvii) for any other cause, circumstance or happening, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, any present or future Applicable
Law to the contrary notwithstanding. The Charterer hereby waives, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any and all rights which it may now have or which at any time hereafter may be conferred upon it, by statute or otherwise, to terminate,
cancel, quit or surrender this Charter or to any abatement, suspension, deferment, return or reduction of Hire except in accordance with the express terms hereof. If for any reason whatsoever this Charter shall be terminated in whole or in part by
operation of law or otherwise except as specifically provided herein, the Charterer nonetheless agrees to pay to the Owner or to the Person entitled thereto an amount equal to each payment of Hire at the time such payment would have become due and
payable in accordance with the terms hereof had this Charter not been terminated in whole or in part; provided, that, in the occurrence of a Total Loss, the provisions of Clauses 46 and 48 will apply. Each payment of Hire made by the
Charterer shall be final, and the Charterer will not seek to recover all or any part of such payment from the Owner for any reason whatsoever, except for demonstrable error. 
  

 21 








 (f) Nothing in this Clause 45 shall prohibit the Charterer from pursuing any right it may have
under this Charter or otherwise by a separate proceeding against the Owner or any other Person. 
 (g) Any delay in payment of Hire shall
entitle the Owner to interest at the rate per annum as agreed in Box 24 payable as Supplemental Hire. 
 46. Total Loss 
 This Charter shall be deemed to be terminated if the Vessel becomes a Total Loss. For purposes of this Charter, a Total Loss shall be deemed to have occurred as follows:

 (a) in the case of an actual loss of the Vessel, the date on which it occurred or, if that is unknown, the date when the Vessel was last
heard of; 
 (b) in the case of a constructive, compromised, agreed or arranged total loss of the Vessel, the earliest of: 
 (i) the date on which a notice of abandonment is given to the insurers; and 
 (ii) the date of any compromise, arrangement or agreement made by or on behalf of the Owner with the Vessel’s insurers in which the
insurers agree to treat the Vessel as a total loss; and 
 (c) in the case of any other type of total loss, on the date (or the most likely
date) on which it reasonably appears to the Required Lenders that the event constituting the total loss occurred. 
 Insurance proceeds received in respect
of a Total Loss of the Vessel shall be applied as follows: 
 First, to the Mortgagee for application in accordance with Section 2.06(b) of
the Credit Agreement; 
 Next, to the Owner in an amount up to the equity portion of the Stipulated Loss Value of the Vessel as of the Payment
Date first occurring after the event of Total Loss as set forth in Schedule 3 to this Charter; and 
 The remainder, if any, shall be
distributed to the Charterer. 
 47. Mortgage 
 The Vessel
chartered under this Charter is financed under the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Owner’s obligations thereunder are secured by the Mortgage. The Charterer undertakes to comply, and provide such information and documents to enable the
Owner to comply with all such instructions or directions in regard to the employment, insurances, operation, repairs and maintenance of the Vessel as laid down in the Mortgage or as may be directed from time to time during the currency of the
Charter by the Mortgagee in conformity with the Mortgage. The 

  

 22 








 
Charterer confirms that, for this purpose, it has acquainted itself with all relevant terms, conditions and provisions of the Mortgage and agrees to
acknowledge this in writing in any form that may be required by the Mortgagee. 
 48. Insurance 
 (a) At no expense to the Owner, the Mortgagee, the Agent, the Lenders or the Swap Providers, the Charterer shall insure and keep the Vessel insured or
cause or procure the Vessel to be insured and to be kept insured against the risks prescribed below, in addition to such other risks which the Mortgagee may reasonably request from time to time: 
  

	 	(i)	Marine navigating risk hull and machinery insurance and marine war navigating risk hull and machinery insurance, together with, at the Charterer’s option, such amounts of
increased value and total loss only insurance as are permitted by such hull and machinery insurance policies. While the Vessel is idle or laid up, at the option of the Charterer and in lieu of the coverage described in the immediately preceding
sentence, port risk hull and machinery insurance may be taken out on the Vessel by the Charterer. The foregoing insurance shall be in an aggregate amount equal at all times to the greater of (A) the Valuation of the Vessel and (B) an amount which,
when added to the amounts of such insurance on the Other Vessels, is 120% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loan. Any of the foregoing may provide for a deductible amount of up to Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000)
with respect to any one accident, occurrence or event. Such insurance shall be maintained in the broadest forms substantially equivalent to the coverage carried by other responsible and experienced companies engaged in operation of vessels similar
to the Vessel, and shall be placed with underwriters of recognized standing (having a rating of not less than B+1X from A.M. Best & Co. or the equivalent rating from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or Moody’s Investors Service).
If the rating of any insurer or underwriter is or falls below the rating required by the immediately preceding sentence (whether on initial placement, renewal or otherwise), unless the Mortgagee shall consent otherwise (and the Mortgagee agrees
promptly to respond to any written request for such consent), the Charterer shall replace such insurer or underwriter with an insurer or underwriter that meets or exceeds such rating requirement not later than thirty (30) days after such required
rating is no longer met. Each of the Owner and the Charterer shall have the right to procure in excess of the above requirements for its own benefit. 

  

	 	(ii)	 Marine and war risk, full form protection and indemnity insurance with a member of the International Group Association of Protection and Indemnity Clubs (the
“IGA Clubs”) or, in the case 



  

 23 









	 	 
of primary war risk, with insurers of recognized standing (having a rating of not less than B+1X from A.M. Best & Co. or the equivalent rating from
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or Moody’s Investors Service). If the rating of any insurer or underwriter is or falls below the rating required by the immediately preceding sentence (whether on initial placement, renewal or
otherwise), unless the Mortgagee shall consent otherwise the Charterer shall replace such insurer or underwriter with an insurer or underwriter that meets or exceeds such rating requirement not later than thirty (30) days after such required rating
is no longer met. Such protection and indemnity insurance shall be maintained in the broadest forms generally available in the United States markets and shall include a cross liability endorsement, if obtainable. Each of the Owner and the Charterer
shall have the right to carry, for its own benefit, excess protection and indemnity insurance and marine multi-liability insurance. 


  

	 	(iii)	Insurance against liability under law or international convention arising out of pollution, spillage or leakage in an amount not less than the maximum amount available, as that
amount may from time to time change, from the IGA Clubs or alternatively such sources of pollution, spillage or leakage coverage as are commercially available in any absence of such coverage by the IGA Clubs as shall be carried by prudent shipowners
for similar vessels engaged in similar trades plus amounts available from customary excess insurers of such risks as excess amounts, if any, as shall be carried by prudent shipowners for similar vessels engaged in similar trades, in each case to the
extent commercially available and carried by other responsible and experienced companies engaged in the operation of vessels similar to the Vessel. 

  

	 	(iv)	To the extent obtainable, cargo liability insurance with one of the IGA Clubs or with insurers of recognized standing (having a rating of not less than B+1X from A.M. Best & Co.
or the equivalent rating from Standard & Poor’s Rating Services or Moody’s Investors Service) under forms of policies at least equivalent to the coverage carried by other responsible and experienced companies engaged in operation of
vessels similar to the Vessel. Such cargo liability insurance shall be in an amount for each occurrence of not less than $50,000,000, or $200,000,000 if such insurance is placed outside of the IGA Clubs. Such cargo liability insurance shall provide
coverage for cargo loss and/or damage regardless of whether liability is determined in accordance with Applicable Law or in accordance with the terms of a private service contract or other agreement. This insurance shall not be required with respect
to the Vessel while the Vessel is idle or laid up. 

  

 24 









	 	(v)	Single interest mortgagee’s insurance (including, without limitation, Mortgagee’s Interest Insurance—Additional Perils (Pollution)), with insurers of recognized
standing (having a rating of not less than B+1X from A.M. Best & Co.) covering the Mortgagee against any acts or omissions of the Charterer and the Owner whereby marine and war risk hull and machinery and protection and indemnity insurance shall
or may be suspended, impaired or defeated, and any loss under such insurance shall be payable directly to the Mortgagee. 

  

	 	(vi)	For the benefit of the Mortgagee, (A) in connection with any voyage outside the territorial waters of the United States of America, such insurance with one of the IGA Clubs or with
insurers of recognized standing (having a rating of not less than B+1X from A.M. Best & Co. or the equivalent rating from Standard & Poor’s Rating Services or Moody’s Investors Service) to be provided pursuant to the American
Institute Hull War Risks and Strikes Clauses amended to include the then current addenda thereto against political risks of confiscation and expropriation by any government (except the United States of America) as would be carried by prudent owners
and operators on similar voyages, (B) additional insurance with one of the IGA Clubs or with insurers of recognized standing (having a rating of not less than B+1X from A.M. Best & Co. or the equivalent rating from Standard & Poor’s
Rating Services or Moody’s Investors Service) in such amounts and against such risks arising from or connected with the ownership or operation of the Vessel as from time to time may be commonly insured against and may be reasonably required by
the Mortgagee upon the request of the Required Lenders and (C) such other insurance with one of the IGA Clubs or with insurers of recognized standing (having a rating of not less than B+1X from A.M. Best & Co. or the equivalent rating from
Standard & Poor’s Rating Services or Moody’s Investors Service) as may at the time be required by applicable law. 

 (b) All insurance required to be taken out and maintained pursuant to the terms of this Charter shall name the Mortgagee, the Owner and the Charterer (except insurance pursuant to Clause 48(a)(v) and Clause 48(a)(vi)(A), which
shall be solely in the name of the Mortgagee and insurance pursuant to Clause 48(l) which shall be solely in the name of the Owner) as named insured or additional named insured (provided, however, that in the case of
insurance pursuant to Clause 48(a)(ii), (iii) and (iv), the Mortgagee shall be named only as a Co-Assured for claims that are more properly the responsibility of the named assured(s)), and the policies or certificates of insurance shall
provide that there shall be no recourse against the Mortgagee or the Owner for the payment of premiums, commissions, club calls, assessments or advances. 
  

 25 








 (c) All insurance carried pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Clause 48 shall contain provisions or
endorsements stating that such insurance is primary insurance without any right of contribution with respect to any insurance carried by or on behalf of the Mortgagee or the Owner other than as provided pursuant to this Clause 48 on the same
interest insured. 
 (d) Each policy in respect of insurance carried pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Clause 48 shall provide that it
shall not be canceled, modified or not renewed (i) by reason of nonpayment of premium except upon not less than 10 days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the Owner and the Mortgagee (giving both the Owner and the Mortgagee the
right to cure defaults in the payment of premiums) or (ii) except with respect to war risk insurance, for any other reason except upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the Owner and the Mortgagee. The
Charterer shall deliver to both the Owner and the Mortgagee, prior to the cancellation, modification or non-renewal of any such policy of insurance, a copy of a renewal or replacement policy (or other evidence of renewal of a policy previously
delivered to the Owner and the Mortgagee) together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Owner and the Mortgagee of payment of the premium therefor. Each policy in respect of such insurance shall contain provisions waiving underwriters’
rights of subrogation thereunder against any assured named in such policy. 
 (e) The Charterer irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints
the Mortgagee as the Charterer’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of the Vessel under
policies of insurance, endorsing the name of the Charterer on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event
that the Charterer at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Mortgagee may, after the expiration of any applicable cure or
grace period, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Charterer hereunder or an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance as are required hereby and
pay such premium and take any other commercially reasonable actions with respect thereto as the Mortgagee deems necessary to insure the Vessel and to collect on such insurance. All sums disbursed by the Mortgagee in connection with this paragraph,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, within 30 days after receipt of a reasonably detailed written invoice therefor, by the Charterer to the Mortgagee and shall be
additional Secured Indebtedness (as defined in the Mortgage), and the Charterer will reimburse the Mortgagee, with interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, for any and all expenditures that the Mortgagee may from time to time make in
connection with this paragraph. 
 (f) All policies of insurance in respect of insurance required to be taken out and maintained pursuant to
the terms of this Charter or other evidence thereof (except policies taken out pursuant to Clauses 48(a)(v) and 48(l)) shall provide that losses thereunder shall be payable (i) until the Mortgage shall have been discharged, first (subject to
Section 2.05 of the Credit Agreement) to the Mortgagee for application pursuant to the Mortgage, and (ii) thereafter, to the Charterer or the Owner, as their interests may appear; provided, however, that such policies of insurance or
other evidence thereof shall provide that: 
  

 26 








 (A) in the case of insurance carried pursuant to Clause 48(a)(ii) and (iii): 
 (1) the insurer may make payments in discharge of any guarantees issued in favor of Persons other than the Charterer or the Owner, and
further may make payments directly to such Person in discharge of claims against the Charterer or the Owner, if the Charterer or the Owner, as the case may be, shall not have incurred the loss, damage or expense in question (whether or not an Event
of Default or Default then exists under the Credit Agreement); and 
 (2) the insurer may make payments to the Owner or the
Charterer, as the case may be, in respect of any loss, damage or expense incurred or paid by the Owner or the Charterer in reimbursement for such loss, damage or expense except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the
Credit Agreement and the insurer has received written notice thereof from the Mortgagee, all payments otherwise payable to the Charterer or the Owner shall be made to the Mortgagee for application in accordance with Clause 8 of the Mortgage.

 (B) In the case of insurance carried pursuant to Clause 48(a)(i): 
 (1) upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default under the Mortgage, all insurance payments and other compensation therefor
shall be paid to the Mortgagee for application in accordance with Clause 8 of the Mortgage; 
 (2) upon the occurrence of a
Total Loss, all insurance payments and other compensation therefor shall be paid to the Mortgage for application in accordance with Section 2.06(b) of the Credit Agreement; 
 (3) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Mortgage, upon the occurrence of an accident, occurrence or
event involving any damage to the Vessel not (x) constituting a Total Loss or (y) resulting in liability to Persons other than the Owner, a named assured, or any permitted charterer, the underwriters may pay directly for the repair, salvage,
liability or other charges involved, or directly to the Owner, or named assured, or any permitted charterer, as the case may be, if such Person shall have first fully repaired the damage and paid the cost thereof or discharged the liability or paid
all of the salvage or other charges involved and the underwriters shall have received evidence that such repair and payment has been made or will be paid simultaneously with the payment by the underwriters, then the underwriters may pay such Person
as reimbursement therefor; provided, however, that if such damage involves a loss in excess of two million five hundred thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) with respect to any one accident, occurrence or event for the loss and other charges involved, the
underwriters shall not make such payment without first obtaining the prior written consent thereto of the Mortgagee. 
  

 27 








 (g) The Charterer shall have the duty and responsibility to make all proofs of loss and take any and all
other steps necessary to effect collections from underwriters for any loss under any insurance carried pursuant to Clause 48(a). 
 (h) Each year, at the time of delivery of annual financial statements with respect to the preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 6.01(h)(i) of the Credit Agreement, the Charterer shall deliver to each of the Owner, Agent and the
Mortgagee copies of (i) cover notes, (ii) policies of insurance, (iii) letters of undertaking, if any, and (iv) a detailed report signed by independent marine insurance brokers designated by the Charterer and satisfactory to the Mortgagee describing
the insurance carried on or with respect to the Vessel and the operation thereof and stating, in effect, that such insurance complies in all material respects with the applicable requirements of this Clause 48. Such report shall also state
that, in the opinion of such insurance broker, the forms of policies or other evidence of such insurance and the amounts of insurance and other terms are (x) not materially less than what is reasonably necessary for the protection of the interests
of the Owner and the Mortgagee and (y) are customary at the time for vessels of similar size, type, trade and cargo. In addition, such report shall set forth any recommendations such insurance broker may have for additional or reduced insurance
which prudent shipowners or operators of vessels of similar size, type, trade and cargo are then carrying. Such report shall further state that, in the opinion of such independent insurance broker, all insurance carried pursuant to Clause
48(a) is underwritten by insurance companies, underwriters’ associations or underwriting funds which should be reasonably satisfactory to the Owner and the Mortgagee. 
 (i) The Charterer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such independent insurance broker to agree (i) to advise both the Owner and the
Mortgagee promptly of any default in the payment of any premium, commission, club call, assessment or advance required (whether for new insurance or for insurance replacing, renewing or extending existing insurance) and of any other act, omission or
event of which such independent insurance broker has knowledge and which in its sole judgment (A) might invalidate or render unenforceable, or cause the cancellation or lapse or prevent the renewal or extension of, in whole or in part, any insurance
carried pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Clause 48, (B) has resulted or might result in any material modification of the terms of any such insurance or (C) has or might result in any such insurance not being in compliance with the applicable
requirements of this Clause 48 and (ii) to furnish the Owner and the Mortgagee from time to time, upon request, detailed information with respect to any of the insurance carried on or with respect to the Vessel or the operation thereof.

 (j) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement, the Charterer shall not declare or agree upon
a compromised, constructive or agreed total loss of the Vessel without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee and the Owner. 
 (k) The
Charterer agrees that it will not do any act or voluntarily suffer or permit any act to be done whereby any insurance shall or may be suspended, impaired or defeated and will not suffer or permit the Vessel to engage in any voyage or to carry out
any operations not permitted under the insurance policies in effect without first covering the Vessel to the amount herein provided for such voyage or such operations. 
  

 28 








 (l) The Owner may take out, solely for its own and its assignees’ benefit, and at the cost and
expense of the Charterer, a “mortgagee’s interest” type insurance policy providing for the indemnification of the Owner for loss under this Charter resulting directly or indirectly from loss of or damage to the Vessel and/or pollution
or additional perils which is covered by the Charterer’s insurance policies or protection and indemnity club entries and in respect of which there is subsequent non–payment or reduced payment by the underwriters. 
 (m) The provisions of this Clause 48 shall always conform to the insurance covenants contained in Section 4 of the Mortgage. In the event such
insurance covenants are modified after the date hereof, this Clause 48 shall automatically be deemed amended so as to conform to any such modification in the insurance covenants set forth in Section 4 of the Mortgage. 
 49. Redelivery 
 At the expiration of the Charter
Period, unless the Charterer shall have exercised its option to purchase the Vessel pursuant to Clause 74, or upon a termination of this Charter pursuant to Clause 59, the Charterer shall at its own cost and expense, redeliver the
Vessel to the Owner at a safe and ice-free port or place as indicated in Box 16 safely afloat in such ready safe berth or anchorage as the Charterer may direct. The Charterer shall give the Owner not less than one hundred eighty (180) days
notice of the expected date of redelivery and shall notify the Owner not less than thirty (30) days prior to such Redelivery Date of the range of ports of redelivery or port or place of redelivery. 
 50. Redelivery Continued 
 Notwithstanding the above, should the
Charterer fail to redeliver the Vessel within the Charter Period, the Charterer shall pay the rate of Hire stated in clause (b) in Box 22 for the number of days by which the Charter Period is exceeded. 
 51. Redelivery Continued 
 (a) Upon redelivery
pursuant to Clause 15 hereof, the Vessel shall be charter free and free and clear of all Liens (except any Owner Liens and any mortgages granted by the Owner), shall include all Improvements required to be made hereunder, except those
Removable Parts removed by the Charterer to the extent permitted hereby, and shall be in class with, and have the highest classification of, the Classification Society, for vessels of the same size, age and type as the Vessel, with no outstanding
recommendations affecting class that are required to be satisfied on or prior to the redelivery date. In addition to the foregoing, at the time of redelivery, the Vessel (x) shall be ready to sail and in the same good order and condition as when
delivered and as required by Clause 10, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and (y) shall comply with the Applicable Law of the Return Country necessary for the Vessel’s documentation at the time of redelivery. On or before redelivery of
the Vessel the Charterer will, at its own cost and expense, remove any stack insignia or stack colors of the Charterer or any other Person and make all corrections and repairs necessary to cause the Vessel to comply with all of the terms of
Clause 15 hereof. 
  

 29 








 (b) A delivery of the Vessel to the Charterer following exercise of the Early Buy-Out option or the
option to purchase at the end of the Charter Period provided for in Clause 74 is not covered by Clause 15 hereof. 
 (c) Upon
redelivery, the Charterer shall provide to the Owner all reports prepared for or by the Classification Society and/or the United States Coast Guard relating to the Vessel. The Charterer shall keep the Owner informed as to the Vessel’s
approximate itinerary prior to redelivery by providing written notice at least three (3) months prior to the estimated redelivery date of the Vessel. Beginning with the thirtieth (30th) day prior to redelivery of the Vessel, the Charterer shall provide written notices to the Owner approximately every seven days and a final notice on the
third day prior to redelivery, as to the Vessel’s location and itinerary. 
 (d) Upon redelivery of the Vessel hereunder, if requested
in writing by the Owner, the Charterer shall provide or arrange docking facilities for the Vessel at the Owner’s cost and expense for a period of 180 days. 
 52. Non-Lien 
 (a) The Charterer will not create, suffer, nor permit to be continued upon the Vessel, any Lien except
Permitted Encumbrances or Owner’s Liens, and will not pledge, charge, assign or otherwise encumber in favor of any Person other than the Mortgagee its Insurances (except per Clause 4(g) of the Mortgage), Earnings or this Charter, or suffer the
creation of any such pledge, charge, assignment or encumbrance as aforesaid to or in favor of any Person other than the Mortgagee. 
 (b) The
Charterer will cooperate with and, as necessary assist the Owner to enable the Owner to comply with and satisfy all the provisions of Chapter 313 of Title 46 of the United States Code, as at any time amended or the comparable provisions of
Applicable Laws should the Vessel be reflagged, in order to establish and maintain the Mortgage as a legal, valid, binding and enforceable first preferred mortgage Lien thereunder upon the Vessel and upon all renewals, improvements and replacements
made in or to the same, and the Charterer shall (i) furnish to the Mortgagee from time to time such proofs as the Mortgagee may reasonably request so that it may be satisfied with respect to the compliance by the Charterer with the foregoing
provisions of this Clause, (ii) cause to be carried a true copy of this Charter with the papers on board the Vessel, and the same to be exhibited to any Person having business with the Vessel which may give rise to any Lien upon the Vessel other

certified copy of the Mortgage (such certified copy to be provided by the Owner) on board the Vessel with her papers and shall cause such certified copy and such papers to be exhibited to any and all Persons having business with the Vessel and to
any representative of the Mortgagee, the Agent, the Lenders or the Swap Providers, and (iv) also place and keep prominently displayed on the Vessel a framed printed or typewritten notice in plain type which shall cover a space of not less than six

 30 








 “NOTICE OF FIRST PREFERRED SHIP MORTGAGE” 
 “This Vessel is owned by HL Hawk LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and is covered by a First Preferred Mortgage in favor of Fortis Capital
Corp., as mortgagee under authority of Chapter 313 of Title 46 of the United States Code. Under the terms of said Mortgage, neither the shipowner, any charterer, the master of the Vessel nor any other person has any right, power or authority to
create, incur or permit to be placed or imposed upon this Vessel any lien whatsoever other than the lien of said Mortgage and (a) liens for crews’ wages remaining unpaid in accordance with reasonable commercial practices; (b) liens for general
average or salvage (including contract salvage) and liens for wages of stevedores employed by the shipowner, the charterer, the operator, agent or master of the Vessel which in each case have accrued for not more than thirty (30) days unless any
such lien is being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or other acts by the shipowner or the charterer, as the case may be, and the shipowner or the charterer, as the case may be, shall have set aside on its books adequate
reserves with respect to such lien and so long as such deferment in payment shall not subject the Vessel to sale, forfeiture or loss; (c) liens for repairs or incident to current operations of the Vessel (other than those referred to in (a) and (b)
above and other than liens arising with respect to rental payments due under any lease of containers entered into or renewed after the Vessel Delivery Date) or with respect to any change, alteration or addition to the Vessel made pursuant to any
charter, which in each case have accrued for not more than thirty (30) days unless any such lien is being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or other acts by the shipowner or the charterer, as the case may be, and the shipowner
or the charterer, as the case may be, shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect to such lien and so long as such deferment in payment shall not subject the Vessel to sale, forfeiture or loss; (d) liens (other than those
referred to in (a), (b) and (c) above) that have accrued for not more than sixty (60) days unless any such lien is being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or other acts by the shipowner or the charterer, as the case may be, and
the shipowner or the charterer, as the case may be, shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect to such lien and so long as such deferment in payment shall not subject the Vessel to sale, forfeiture or loss; (e) liens that, in
the opinion of the shipowner or the charterer or as indicated by the written admission of liability therefor by an insurance company, are covered by insurance (subject to reasonable deductibles); (f) liens for charters or subcharters or leases or
subleases; and (g) liens arising from the taking or requisition for use of the Vessel by the government or any governmental body of the United States of America to the extent that the creation or incurrence of such lien shall have been beyond the
control of the shipowner or the charterer during such requisition, provided that all such liens referred to in this clause (g) shall be removed and discharged within thirty (30) days after such requisition shall have terminated; provided that
any such liens described in clause (c) and clause (f) above shall be permitted only to the extent they are subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage in respect of the Vessel.”) 
  

 31 








 Such notice shall be changed to reflect any change in documentation of the Vessel pursuant to Clause 41 and the
identity of any of the successors or assigns of the Owner. 
 (c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Charterer agrees that
if a libel or complaint be filed against the Vessel or the Vessel be otherwise attached, levied upon or taken into custody by virtue of any legal proceeding in any court, the Charterer shall promptly notify the Owner and the Mortgagee by telecopy,
confirmed by letter, to the Owner and the Mortgagee, and within fourteen (14) Business Days after the Charterer receives notice of such event, to cause the Vessel to be released and all Liens thereon (other than the Mortgage) to be discharged and to
promptly notify the Owner and the Mortgagee thereof in the manner aforesaid, and to notify the Owner and the Mortgagee within three (3) Business Days after the Charterer receives notice thereof of any average or salvage incurred by the Vessel.

 (d) The Owner agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist and, at its own cost and expense,
shall promptly take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge, any Owner’s Liens on or in respect of the Vessel; provided, however, that the Owner may contest any such Owner’s Lien in good faith by appropriate proceedings
diligently conducted where such proceedings do not involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Vessel and would not interfere with the use and possession of the Vessel by the Charterer, or, if such proceedings do involve such
material danger or such material interference, where such Owner’s Lien has been bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of the Charterer. If Owner fails to comply with this Clause, Charterer may remove such Owner’s Liens at the Owner’s
expense. 
 53. Indemnity 
 (a) The
Charterer as a primary obligor (regardless of whether or not the indemnified Person is also indemnified with respect to the same matter under the terms of the Transaction Documents or any other agreement or instrument related hereto or thereto or
otherwise) agrees to pay, protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless, the Owner and its directors, officers, stockholders, employees, agents and successors and assigns, and all Affiliates thereof (each an “Indemnitee”) from and against
and in respect of any and all present and future claims, demands, losses, penalties, assessments, actions, suits and liabilities of whatsoever nature (excluding any Taxes on the income of the Owner) and all reasonable costs and expenses (including,
but not limited to, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) relating to, resulting from, in connection with or arising out of, in each case, any one or more of the following: 
  

	 	(i)	the Vessel, or any Part thereof, while on charter hereunder, including, without limitation, with respect thereto, the manufacture, design, construction, non-acceptance, idling,
laying up, non-delivery, time chartering, return, charter, subcharter, rejection, installation, possession, documentation, redocumentation, titling, retitling, registration, reregistration, deregistration, alterations, modifications, additions,
improvements, replacements, seaworthiness, abandonment, redelivery or other disposition of the Vessel or any Part thereof, custody by the 

  

 32 









	 	 
Charterer of title and registration documents, breakage fees associated with interest rate contracts (including, but not limited to, forward fixes), use,
non-use, misuse, operation, transportation, inspection, repair, maintenance, overhaul, testing, storage, fleeting, control or disposition of the Vessel or any Part thereof, including, without limitation, latent or other defects, whether or not
discoverable, any claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement and any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages and claims in any way relating to or arising out of injury to persons, properties or the environment or arising under
the doctrine of strict liability in tort; 


  

	 	(ii)	any misrepresentation, or any breach of or failure to perform or observe, or any non-compliance with any covenant, warranty or agreement or other obligation to be performed by the
Charterer contained in this Charter, in any other Transaction Documents to which the Charterer is a party or in any other document or instrument delivered by the Charterer in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents; 

  

	 	(iii)	any violations by the Charterer or any permitted user of the Vessel of any laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees, consents, approvals, exemptions,
authorizations, licenses and withholdings of objection, of any governmental or public body or authority and all other requirements having the force of law applicable at any time to the Vessel (including, without limitation, any Environmental Law or
the rules and regulations of the United States Coast Guard); or 

  

	 	(iv)	any Event of Default hereunder. 

 (b) The Owner agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless, the Charterer from and against and in respect of any and all present and future claims, demands, losses and liabilities of whatsoever nature (including reasonable costs and expenses) resulting from the Owner’s
failure to maintain its Documentation Citizen status while the Vessel is under U.S. flag. 
 (c) The Charterer shall give the Owner prompt
notice of any occurrence, event or condition known to the Charterer as a consequence of which any Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification hereunder. The Charterer further agrees that, with respect to any payment or indemnity hereunder, such
payment or indemnity shall include any amount necessary to hold the Indemnitee harmless, on an After-Tax Basis. No provision of this Charter shall be construed to be a waiver on the part of the Owner or Charterer of the benefit of any limitation of,
or exemption from, liability accorded the Owner or the demise charterer of a vessel by any applicable statute or rule of law with respect to claims of third parties. 
 (d) Each Indemnitee agrees to give the Charterer prompt notice of any occurrence, event or condition known to such Indemnitee and as a consequence of which such 
  

 33 








 
Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that any failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Charterer from any
liability hereunder; provided, that to the extent such failure has the effect of prejudicing the Charterer in its defense thereof, then the Charterer’s obligations to indemnify the Indemnitee shall be correspondingly reduced. In case any
action, suit or proceeding is brought against any Indemnitee in connection with any claim indemnified against hereunder, such Indemnitee will, promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, notify the
Charterer thereof, enclosing a copy of all papers served upon such Indemnitee, but failure to give such notice or to enclose such papers shall not relieve the Charterer from any liability hereunder; provided, that to the extent such failure has the
effect of prejudicing the Charterer in its defense thereof, then the Charterer’s obligations to indemnify the Indemnitee shall be correspondingly reduced; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall prevent the Charterer from
bringing an action for damages suffered by the Charterer as a result of such failure to so notify the Charterer. 
 (e) The Charterer may,
and upon such Indemnitee’s request will, at the Charterer’s expense, resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding, or cause the same to be resisted or defended by counsel selected by the Charterer and reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnitee and in the event of any failure by the Charterer to do so, the Charterer shall pay all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding; provided, that the Charterer shall keep such Indemnitee fully apprised of the status of such proceeding and shall provide such Indemnitee with all information with respect thereto that such Indemnitee shall reasonably
request. 
 (f) If the Charterer shall resist and defend such action, in no event shall the Charterer enter into a settlement or other
compromise with respect to such action without the prior written consent of such Indemnitee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) unless such settlement shall provide for an unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability arising
out of such action. 
 (g) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the Charterer shall not be entitled to assume responsibility
for and control of any such judicial or administrative proceedings while an Event of Default hereunder shall have occurred and be continuing or if any criminal liability could be imposed on such Indemnitee by such proceedings. Any Indemnitee may
participate at its own expense and with its own counsel in any judicial or administrative proceeding controlled by the Charterer. 
 (h) To
the extent that the Charterer indemnifies any Indemnitee with respect to any claim, liability, obligation, damage or similar loss indemnified by the Charterer pursuant to this Clause 53, then the Charterer shall be subrogated, and shall
receive the benefit of, any insurance policy (other than insurance carried for the Indemnitee’s own account), guarantees and causes of action against third parties to which such Indemnitee may be entitled with respect to the matter which gave
rise to the rights of indemnification hereunder and such Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Charterer at the Charterer’s expense in seeking to obtain the benefit for the Charterer of such insurance policies, guarantees or causes of action.

  

 34 








 (i) The Charterer shall supply the Indemnitee with such information reasonably requested by such
Indemnitee as is necessary or advisable for such Indemnitee to control or participate in any proceeding to the extent permitted by this Clause 53. If the Charterer is not controlling such proceeding because of a conflict of interest, the
Charterer shall not be required to provide an Indemnitee with confidential information subject to attorney-client privilege. 
 (j) The
indemnities contained in this Clause 53 shall survive the termination of this Charter and any and all of the other Transaction Documents. The indemnities contained in this Clause 53 shall not be construed as a guarantee by the
Charterer of the useful life or residual value of the Vessel. 
 (k) The agreements contained herein constitute separate agreements with
respect to each Indemnitee and are enforceable directly by each Indemnitee. 
 (l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Charter, in no
event shall Charterer be obligated to indemnify any Indemnitee for any loss, damage, liability, cost or expense arising out of or resulting from the negligence or willful act of such Indemnitee. In addition, the Charterer shall not be obligated to
indemnify any Indemnitee for consequential damages, or any damages other than actual, direct damages. 
 54. Lien of the Mortgage 
 The Charterer acknowledges and agrees that its Lien on the Vessel is at all times subject and subordinate to the Lien of the Mortgage. 
 55. Assignment; Sub-Charter and Sale 
 (a) This
Charter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. The Charterer shall not assign this Charter except with the prior consent in writing of the Owner and subject to such
terms and conditions as the Owner shall approve; provided, however, that no such assignment shall be effective unless and until the Guarantor has executed an acknowledgment, in form and substance acceptable to the Owner, in its sole discretion, that
the Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the assignment by the Charterer. The Owner shall assign this Charter to any Person to whom the Owner has sold the Vessel in accordance with
Section 8.1 of the Agreement to Acquire and Charter, and Owner and such Person shall execute and deliver to Charterer an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Charterer evidencing such assignment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Charterer may assign its obligations and rights under this Charter to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Guarantor without the prior written consent of the Owner. 
 (b) Notwithstanding Clause 55(a), Charterer may sub-bareboat charter the Vessel to any Person; provided that the Charterer shall at all times
remain primarily responsible for the full and timely performance of this Charter. The Charterer may time or voyage charter the Vessel, or charter space on the Vessel, at any time to any Person in Charterer’s sole and absolute discretion.

  

 35 








 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Vessel is documented under U.S. flag with a registry
endorsement pursuant to 46 U.S.C. § 12102(d)(1), the Owner shall have the right to assign all of its right, title, interest and obligations under this Charter to a trust formed under that Section for the purpose of documenting the Vessel under
the U.S. flag pursuant to that Section. Notwithstanding any such assignment, the Owner shall remain fully liable hereunder and shall guarantee the due and punctual performance of the obligations of such trust hereunder. The Owner may sell the Vessel
and assign its rights under this Charter pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.1 of the Agreement to Acquire and Charter. 
 56. Guarantee of
Horizon Lines, Inc. 
 The Charterer undertakes to furnish, before delivery of the Vessel, a guarantee of Horizon Lines, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as
guarantee for full performance of the Charterer’s performance under this Charter. 
 57. Requisition 
 (a) In the event of the Requisition for Hire of the Vessel by any governmental or other competent authority (hereinafter referred to as “Requisition
for Hire”) irrespective of the date during the Charter Period when “Requisition for Hire” may occur and irrespective of the length thereof and whether or not it be for an indefinite or a limited period of time, and irrespective of
whether it may or will remain in force for the remainder of the Charter Period, this Charter shall not be deemed thereby or thereupon to be frustrated or otherwise terminated and the Charterer shall continue to pay the stipulated Hire in the manner
provided by this Charter and during the term of this Charter, the Charterer shall remain liable for all its obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents with respect to the Vessel to the extent that the Charterer can control the
performance of those obligations until the time when the Charter would have terminated pursuant to any of the provisions hereof always provided however that in the event of “Requisition for Hire” any Requisition Hire or compensation
received or receivable by the Owner shall be payable to the Charterer during the remainder of the Charter Period or the period of the “Requisition for Hire” whichever be the shorter. 
 (b) The Charterer shall assign and provide that Requisition Compensation is applied in accordance with Clause 8 of the Mortgage as if received on
the basis of a sale of the Vessel; provided, that if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all such amounts shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Owner for application to amounts due from the Charterer hereunder.

 58. Covenants 
 (a) Negative
Covenants. 
 (i) Mergers, Sale of Assets, etc. The Charterer shall not acquire a Person or consolidate or merge with or into any
other Person or sell, convey, assign, transfer, charter or otherwise dispose of substantially all of its property to any Person unless: 
  

	 	(A)	 either: (x) the Charterer is the surviving Person; or (y) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, charter or merger (if other than 



  

 36 









	 	 
the Charterer) or to which such sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or other disposition has been made expressly assumes all the obligations of the
Charterer under the Charter and the other Transaction Documents; and; 


  

	 	(B)	the surviving Person who is the Charterer remains in compliance with the terms and provisions of this Charter and the other Transaction Documents. 

 This Clause 58 shall not apply to a merger or consolidation, or sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer, charter or other disposition of the Charterer
with an Affiliate solely for the purpose, and with the effect, of reincorporating the Charterer in another jurisdiction of the United States. 
 (ii) Place of Business. Neither the Charterer nor the Guarantor will change its registered office without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Owner. 
 (iii) Change of Domicile. Neither the Charterer nor the Guarantor shall change its jurisdiction of organization without the prior written consent
of the Owner if such change would interfere with the Owner’s ability to charter the Vessel to the Charterer under the law of the Applicable Country. 
 (b) Affirmative Covenants. 
 (i) Notification of Proceedings. The Charterer will promptly
notify the Owner in writing of any investigation, action, suit, proceeding or claim that would in the reasonable opinion of the Charterer, in each case in the aggregate, be likely to have a material adverse effect (x) on the ability of the Charterer
or the Guarantor to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or (y) on the interest of the Owner in the Vessel. 
 (ii) Preservation of Existence. During the term of the Charter each of the Charterer and the Guarantor will at all times preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence. 
 (iii) Compliance with Applicable Law. The Charterer shall comply with all Applicable Laws, treaties and conventions, and rules and regulations to
which the United States is a party and of any jurisdiction where the Vessel operates and shall cause the Vessel to have on board, as and when required thereby, valid certificates showing compliance therewith. 
 (iv) Approvals and Other Consents. The Charterer, on behalf of the Owner, shall obtain all such governmental licenses, authorizations, consents,
permits and approvals as may be required by Applicable Law or otherwise, for (i) the Owner to perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents and (ii) the operation of the Vessel. 
 (v) Taxes on Vessel. The Charterer shall pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, when due and payable from time to time, all taxes,
assessments, governmental charges, fines and penalties lawfully imposed on (i) the Vessel, or (ii) any income (other than Hire payable by the Charterer hereunder) from the Vessel (other than those the 

  

 37 








 
amount or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which appropriate reserves have been
provided on the Charterer’s books in accordance with GAAP). 
 (vi) Vessel Management. It is understood and acknowledged that the
Vessel will initially be managed and operated by the Charterer. The Charterer may appoint a manager for the Vessel (in connection with a sub-bareboat charter of the Vessel pursuant to Clause 55(b) or otherwise). In the event that the
Charterer shall enter into a management agreement with any Person who is not an Affiliate of the Charterer or the Owner providing for the technical and commercial management of the Vessel, such management agreement shall be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Agent. 
 (vii) Compliance with ISM Code and ISPS Code. The Charterer shall maintain all necessary ISM Code
Documentation in connection with the Vessel and shall be in full compliance with the ISM Code and the ISPS Code. The Charterer agrees to provide the Owner, the Mortgagee and the Agent on demand with true and complete copies of the Vessel’s DOC,
SMC, the ISSC and such other ISM Code Documentation as the Mortgagee or the Agent may reasonably request in writing. 
 (viii) Notice of
Litigation. The Charterer shall notify the Owner as promptly as practicable but in any event within ten (10) days, or in the case of subparagraph (iii), two (2) days, of receipt of any notice of (i) any material litigation, proceeding, claim or
arbitration against or naming the Charterer or the Guarantor as a subject thereof or as a party thereto and affecting the Vessel or the interest of the Owner therein, or (ii) any litigation, claim or similar proceeding or circumstance of which the
Charterer has knowledge involving the Charterer, the Guarantor or the Owner, which litigation, claim or similar proceeding or circumstance could, in the reasonable opinion of the Charterer, in each case or in the aggregate, have a material adverse
effect on the ability of the Charterer or the Guarantor to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or on the interest of the Owner in the Vessel, or (iii) any pending or, to the best knowledge of the Charterer
and the Guarantor, threatened action, proceeding, governmental investigation or arbitration affecting any of the Owners or SFL (in respect of the Vessel) before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator, in which there is a reasonable possibility
of an adverse decision which could result in a Material Adverse Effect or which in any manner draws into question the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of the Loan Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
the Credit Agreement or thereby. 
 (ix) Notice of Default. The Charterer shall inform the Owner of the occurrence of any Material
Adverse Effect or any Default or Event of Default promptly and in any event within two (2) Business Days after becoming aware of the occurrence thereof. 
 (x) Information. The Charterer shall provide to the Owner any and all information with respect to the past or current trading schedule, trading activities and itinerary of the Vessel as required for the
Owner’s tax purposes. 
  

 38

Lenders of any significant damage or injury caused by or to the Vessel of which it knows about. 
 (c) Environmental Matters.

 (i) The Charterer shall (A) notify the Owner promptly upon becoming aware of any Remedial Action (or of any Release of any Product from the
Vessel or any Part thereof that could possibly lead to Remedial Action) relating to the Vessel that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (B) promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days of receipt thereof)
provide the Owner with copies of any reports made to any Governmental Entity arising out of or in connection with any Product in or removed from the Vessel or any Part thereof involving a potential claim of $2,500,000 or more. 
 (ii) The Charterer shall, to the extent required by Applicable Law, at all times maintain on file with the relevant Governmental Entities evidence of
financial responsibility required under Applicable Law, including, but not limited to, provided the Vessel enters the United States exclusive economic zone, such evidence required by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, 33 U.S.C. 2701 et seq. and rules
and regulations issued thereunder. 
 (iii) The Charterer shall timely report to the relevant Governmental Entities any Release of Product
from the Vessel or any Part thereof required to be reported to any such Governmental Entities under any Environmental Law. 
 (iv) The
Charterer shall timely take, or cause to be taken, steps to remove, contain, remediate and otherwise mitigate the consequences of any Release of Product from the Vessel or any Part thereof into the marine environment of sufficient magnitude or
significance that action is required by any Environmental Law or, even if not required by any Environmental Law, under circumstances which could result in significant damage to or destruction of valuable marine or estuarine resources or to private
property or any third party. 
 (v) The Charterer shall comply in all material respects and use reasonable efforts to cause all other Persons
utilizing the Vessel to comply in all material respects with all Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits applicable to its operations and properties, to obtain and renew all Environmental Permits necessary for its operations and properties
(except where failure to comply with, obtain and/or renew such permits would not be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect), and to conduct any investigation, study, sampling and testing, and undertake any cleanup, removal,
remedial or other action necessary to remove and clean up all Hazardous Materials from any of its properties, in accordance with the requirements of all Environmental Laws. 
 59. Default 
 (a) Each of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”
(whether such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or come about or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to or in compliance with any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or
governmental body): 
  

	 	(i)	the Charterer shall fail to pay Basic Hire when due in accordance with Clause 45 and such failure shall continue for a period of three (3) Business Days; or


  

 39 









	 	(ii)	the Charterer shall fail to comply with the requirements of Clause 48 hereof (insurance); provided that the Owner shall have the option, by written notice to the Charterer,
to give the Charterer a specified number of days grace within which to rectify the failure without prejudice to the Owner’s right to declare an Event of Default hereunder if the Charterer fails to comply with such notice; or


  

	 	(iii)	there shall occur (A), any subcharter or attempted subcharter of the Vessel without the Charterer remaining primarily liable under this Charter, or (B) any assignment or attempted
assignment of this Charter not permitted hereunder without the consent of the Owner (a change of control of the Charterer shall not constitute an assignment for this purpose); or 

  

	 	(iv)	the Charterer or the Guarantor shall fail to perform or observe any material covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or observed by it under any Transaction Document to
which it is a party and such failure shall not have been remedied (A) within 30 days after written notice thereof to the Charterer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, or (B) in the event such failure relates to the Charterer’s obligations
with respect to the maintenance and modification of the Vessel pursuant to Clause 10 or 40 hereof, such failure cannot be remedied within such 30 day period and the Charterer is diligently proceeding to remedy such failure, within such longer
period (not to exceed 90 days from notice thereof to the Charterer or the Guarantor, as the case may be), as may be necessary to remedy such failure; or 

  

	 	(v)	any material representation or warranty made by the Charterer or the Guarantor under or in connection with the Agreement to Acquire and Charter, this Charter or the Guarantee shall
prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made or confirmed; or 

  

	 	(vi)	 the Charterer or the Guarantor shall generally not pay its debts as such debts become due, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally, or
shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or any proceeding shall be instituted by or against the Charterer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding
up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to 



  

 40 









	 	 
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee,
custodian or other similar official for it or for any substantial part of its property and, in the case of any such proceeding instituted against it (but not instituted by it), either such proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed for a period
of 45 days, or any of the actions sought in such proceeding (including, without limitation, the entry of an order for relief against, or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for, it or for any substantial part
of its property) shall occur; or the Charterer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the actions set forth above in this subparagraph (vi); or 


  

	 	(vii)	the Charterer defaults under (A) that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of September 22, 2005, as it may be amended from time to time thereafter among the
Charterer, UBS Securities LLC and various other parties, or in the event that such Amended and Restated Credit Agreement has been terminated, any other senior credit facility involving commitments and/or obligations outstanding in excess of
$100,000,000, or (B) that certain Indenture dated as of July 7, 2004, as it may be amended from time to time thereafter, among the Charterer, the Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee and a certain other party, and as a result of such
default such obligation becomes due prior to any stated maturity; or 

  

	 	(viii)	any breach in any material respect by the Charterer of its covenants set forth in Clause 58 or by the Guarantor of its covenants set forth in Section 7 of the Guarantee; or


  

	 	(ix)	during its term, the Guarantee shall cease to remain in full force and effect, except as a result of any act or omission of the Owner, the Agent, the Security Trustee or the
Lenders, and is not promptly replaced by the Guarantor; or 

  

	 	(x)	any license, permit, consent or approval of any governmental or quasi-governmental authority now or hereafter necessary or required in connection with the performance by the
Charterer or the Guarantor of their obligations set forth in this Charter or the Transaction Documents or, in respect of the Charterer, in connection with the operation of the Vessel, shall be materially modified, revoked, withdrawn or shall fail to
remain in full force and effect and such modification, revocation, withdrawal or failure to remain in full force and effect shall continue for 15 days; or 

  

 41 









	 	(xi)	any Event of Default caused by the Charterer or the Guarantor has occurred in connection with the Other Transaction Documents relating to the Other Vessels that have been delivered
to the Charterer. 

 (b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter so long as the same shall be
continuing, the Owner may, at its option, declare this Charter to be in default; and at any time thereafter, so long as the Charterer shall not have remedied all outstanding Events of Default, the Owner may do, and the Charterer shall comply with,
one or more of the following, as the Owner in its sole discretion shall so elect, to the extent permitted by, and subject to compliance with, any mandatory requirements of any Applicable Law then in effect: 
  

	 	(i)	Redelivery and Retaking. Upon written demand, the Owner may cause the Charterer at the Charterer’s cost and expense to, and the Charterer hereby agrees that it will,
promptly redeliver the Vessel, or cause the Vessel to be redelivered, to the Owner with all reasonable dispatch and in the same manner and in the same condition as if the Vessel were being redelivered at the expiration of the Charter Period in
accordance with all the provisions of Clause 15 and all obligations of the Charterer under such Clause shall apply to such redelivery; or the Owner or its agent, at the Owner’s option, without further notice, may, but shall be under no
obligation to, retake the Vessel wherever found, whether upon the high seas or at any port, harbor or other place and irrespective of whether the Charterer, any subcharterer or any other Person is in possession of the Vessel, all without prior
demand and without legal process, and for that purpose the Owner or its agent may enter upon any dock, pier or other premises where the Vessel is and may take possession thereof, without the Owner or its agent incurring any liability by reason of
such retaking, whether for the restoration of damage to property caused by such retaking or for damages of any kind to any Person for or with respect to any cargo carried or to be carried by the Vessel or for any other reason. The exercise by the
Owner of its remedies under this paragraph shall be without prejudice, and in addition, to any of the Owner’s other remedies referred to below in this Clause. 

  

	 	(ii)	Other Remedies. The Owner may exercise any other right or remedy, not inconsistent with the foregoing, that may be available to it under Applicable Law, in equity or in
admiralty, or proceed by appropriate court action to enforce the terms of this Charter or to recover damages for the breach hereof or to rescind this Charter. 

 (c) Following termination of this Charter and redelivery or retaking of the Vessel pursuant to Clause 59(b)(i), the Owner may, in lieu of any
other claims for damages hereunder, by written notice to the Charterer specifying a Payment Date which is not earlier than 

  

 42 








 
10 days after the date of such notice, demand that the Charterer pay to the Owner and the Charterer shall pay to the Owner, on such Payment Date, as
liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty, and in lieu of Basic Hire due after the Payment Date specified in such notice, the sum of (i) any unpaid Hire due and payable on or prior to such Payment Date, plus (ii) an amount equal
to the excess, if any, of the Basic Hire for the remainder of the Charter Period after discounting such Basic Hire quarterly to present value as of the Payment Date specified in such notice at the Stipulated Interest Rate, over the Fair Market
Bareboat Charter Hire of the Vessel, determined in accordance with an Appraisal, for the remainder of the Charter Period after discounting such Fair Market Bareboat Charter Hire quarterly to present value as of such Payment Date at the Stipulated
Interest Rate, together with interest on such amount at the Late Rate for the period from the Payment Date specified in such notice to the date of actual payment. 
 (d) In addition, the Charterer shall be liable, on an After-Tax Basis, for any and all Supplemental Hire payable hereunder before, during or after the exercise of any of the foregoing remedies, which Supplemental Hire
shall include all reasonable legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred by the Owner by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default or by reason of the exercise by the Owner of any remedy hereunder, including any costs and expenses
incurred by the Owner in connection with any retaking of the Vessel or, upon the redelivery or retaking of the Vessel in accordance with this Clause 59, the placing of the Vessel in the condition and seaworthiness required by the terms of
Clause 10. Except as specifically provided herein, no remedy referred to in this Clause 59 is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and is in addition to, and may be exercised concurrently with, any other remedy which
is referred to in this Clause or which may otherwise be available at law, in equity or in admiralty. No express or implied waiver by the Owner of any Default or Event of Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any further or
subsequent Default or Event of Default. 
 60. Claim Less than $250,000 
 In cases where neither the claim nor any counterclaim exceeds the sum of $250,000 (or such other sum as the parties may agree) the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Shortened Arbitration Procedure
of the Society of Maritime Arbitrators, Inc. current at the time when the arbitration proceedings are commenced. 
 61. Notices 
 (a) Any notice, request, consent, demand or other communication to be given by either party to the other party shall (i) be in writing and may be sent by
fax, prepaid courier delivery services such as Federal Express, DHL or other similar services, telex, registered or recorded mail or by personal service and (ii) be deemed to have been received in the case of facsimile, at the time of dispatch with
a transmission confirmation appearing in the communication (provided, however, that, in the case of a facsimile, if the date of dispatch is not a Business Day it shall be deemed to have been received at the opening of business on the next Business
Day), and in the case of a letter, when delivered personally or by courier provided, however, that if personal delivery or delivery by courier of a notice is tendered but refused, such notice shall be effective upon such tender.

 62. Renewal Option. 
 If the Charterer shall not have
timely notified the Owner of its intention to redeliver the Vessel at the end of the Basic Period pursuant to Clause 15 or exercised its Purchase Option pursuant to Clause 74, upon the expiration of the Basic Period, this Charter shall
automatically be extended for one additional period of three years (such period being hereinafter referred to as the “Renewal Period”) on the same conditions provided for herein, and upon such extension, the words “Charter
Period” whenever used herein shall be deemed to include, unless the context otherwise requires, the Renewal Period; provided, that the Basic Hire payable during such Renewal Period shall be as set forth in Box 22 and shall be payable in
equal quarterly installments in advance, each such installment being due and payable on each Payment Date occurring during the Renewal Period, commencing on the Renewal Period Commencement Date. Upon the expiration of the Renewal Period, this
Charter may be extended for any additional renewal period on such terms as the Owner and the Charterer may mutually agree. All provisions of this Charter shall be applicable during the Renewal Period, except that the Basic Hire payable under this
Charter during each Renewal Period shall be that specified in this Clause 62. 
 63. Relationship with Builder, Etc. 
 (a) Charterer May Take Action against Shipbuilder, etc. From and at any time after the Vessel Delivery Date, the Charterer may at its own cost and
in its own name or in the name of the Owner or jointly with the Owner make such demands and/or take such action as it may think advisable against the Shipbuilder or any repairer or other person fitting, installing or carrying out work, repairs or
modifications with respect to the Vessel (or any vendor of any Part of the Vessel or supplier of equipment or Parts fitted or to be fitted to or installed in or on the Vessel or supplier of services in connection with the Vessel subsequent to the
Vessel Delivery Date). 
 (b) Owner Consent Required. The Charterer shall not make any demand or take any action described in this
Clause in the name of the Owner except on condition that it first obtains the prior written consent of the Owner, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
 (c) Moneys Receivable From Shipbuilder, etc. If as a result of any action taken pursuant to this Clause (whether taken in the name of the Charterer or of the Owner or jointly) any moneys are receivable from the
Shipbuilder or any manufacturer, repairer, supplier or other person mentioned therein or in relation to any infringement of intellectual property rights, the Owner shall be entitled to: 
  

 45 









	 	(i)	during the continuance of an Event of Default, call for such moneys to be paid to it and to retain and be paid therefrom any moneys which are due from the Charterer to the Owner
under the provisions of this Charter; and/or 

  

	 	(ii)	require that such moneys shall be applied either in or towards rectifying the Vessel or equipment or Parts fitted therein or thereon or otherwise ensuring that the Vessel or such
equipment or Parts can be used without any claim being made for infringement of intellectual property rights, or, if such use cannot be ensured and/or the Vessel or equipment or Parts fitted therein or thereon cannot be fully rectified, to pay such
monies to the Charterer.

to enable the other timely to file any reports required to be filed, execute any such documents or to take such other action as may be required by the other under this Charter or, with respect to the Owner, as the owner of the Vessel with any
Governmental Entity. In addition, (x) the Charterer, at its own cost and expense, will from time to time take or cause to be taken such action as the Owner may reasonably request in order to duly maintain the Owner’s title to the Vessel
(subject to Clause 45(f) hereof) and (y) if the Charterer shall fail to take or cause to be taken any such action within fifteen (15) days after written request therefor as above provided, the Charterer will reimburse the Owner, as the case
may be, promptly upon demand therefor, the amount of any and all reasonable costs or expenses incurred by the Owner in taking or causing such action to be taken. 
 70. Maritime Security Program Subsidy 
 During the term of the Charter, the Owner shall not apply for subsidy under the U.S.
Maritime Security Program (“MSP”) with respect to the Vessel. It is understood and agreed that the Charterer may apply for subsidy under the MSP program with respect to the Vessel and that any MSP subsidy with respect to the Vessel shall

 72. Quiet Enjoyment 
 So long as no Event of Default has occurred, neither the Charterer nor any permitted sub-charterer shall be disturbed or interfered with in its quiet and
peaceful use, possession and enjoyment of the Vessel. The Owner shall procure that any mortgagee provides an equivalent right to quiet enjoyment. 
 73.
Provisions Relating to Predelivery Period 
 The respective rights and obligations of the Owners and the Charterers as between themselves during the
construction and pre-delivery periods for the Vessel shall be as set forth in the Agreement to Acquire and Charter. 
 74. Early Buy-Out Options/Purchase
Options 
 (a) Early Buy-Out Options. (i) Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Charterer shall
have the right, at its option, to purchase the Vessel on each EBO Date at the applicable EBO Price as set forth in Schedule 1 hereto; provided that the Charterer may exercise this option only if it concurrently exercises its option to
purchase the Other Vessels that are then subject to an Other Charter with an Affiliate of the Owner on the corresponding EBO Date under the Other Charters of such Other Vessels. The Charterer may exercise its option by written notice to the Owner
given not earlier than 365 days nor less than 180 days prior to the applicable EBO Date. The giving of such notice shall constitute the Charterer’s irrevocable election and obligation to purchase the Vessel and such Other Vessels as set forth
in this Clause. In that case, the Charterer shall pay to the Owner, on the applicable EBO Date, or if such date is not a Business Day on the next succeeding Business Day, in Dollars and in immediately available funds (1) the applicable EBO Price
(subject to Clause 74(ii) hereof), plus (2) any unpaid Basic Hire due or accrued on or prior to the applicable EBO Date and not otherwise already paid. Upon the payment in full of such amounts, the Owner will transfer to the Charterer, without
recourse or warranty (except as to Owner Liens), all of the Owner’s right, title and interest in and to the Vessel on an “as is, where is” basis, free of the Mortgage and other Owner Liens so long as the Charterer bears any and all
expenses of the repayment of the Mortgage including breakfunding costs and any other related expenses. Upon receipt by the Owner of all amounts above described as payable, this Charter shall terminate and the obligations of the Charterer to pay
Basic Hire on each Payment Date occurring on and after the applicable EBO Date shall terminate. If in connection with the exercise of its purchase option hereunder, the Charterer elects to assume the debt secured by the Mortgage on the Vessel
pursuant to the Debt Assumption Agreement, then the amount of such debt plus all accrued and unpaid interest so assumed shall be applied as a credit against the EBO Price. 
  

 48 








 (ii) Provided the Charterer satisfies the conditions set forth in Section 1 of the Debt Assumption
Agreement, the Charterer may, in lieu of purchasing the Vessels, elect to purchase either 100 percent of the equity interests of SFL Holdings or 100 percent of the equity interests of each of the Owners and, in connection therewith, assume the
existing debt secured by the mortgages on the Vessels. In that case, the EBO Price shall be reduced by the amount of such debt plus all accrued and unpaid interest so assumed. In addition, prior to such transfer, SFL Holdings or each of the Owners,
as the case may be, shall be entitled to distribute all assets not related to the applicable Vessel as a dividend to its respective parent company. 
 (b) Purchase Option at End of Charter Period. Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Charterer shall have the right, at its option, to purchase the Vessel at the expiration of the
Basic Period and, if applicable, at the end of the Renewal Period, at the applicable purchase option price set forth in Schedule 2 hereto; provided that the Charterer may exercise this option only if it concurrently exercises its option to
purchase the Other Vessels that are then subject to an Other Charter with an Affiliate of the Owner at the end of the Basic Period or the Renewal Period of such Other Charters. The Charterer may exercise its option by written notice to the Owner
given not less 365 days prior to the end of the Basic Period or the Renewal Period, as applicable. The giving of such notice shall constitute the Charterer’s irrevocable election and obligation to purchase the Vessel and the Other Vessels at
the end of the Basic Period or the Renewal Period, as applicable. If the Charterer exercises its option hereunder, it shall pay to the Owner, on the last day of the Basic Period or the Renewal Period, as applicable, or if such date is not a Business
Day on the next succeeding Business Day, (i) the purchase option price plus (ii) any unpaid Hire due or accrued on or prior to the date and not otherwise already paid. The purchase option price shall be paid in Dollars and in immediately available
funds. Upon payment in full of such amounts, the Owner shall transfer to the Charterer, without recourse or warranty (except as to Owner’s Liens), all of the Owner’s right, title and interest in and to the Vessel on an “as is, where
is” basis, free of the Mortgage and other Owner Liens so long as the Charterer bears any and all expenses of the repayment of the Mortgage including breakfunding costs and any other related expenses. 
 (c) Redelivery Supplemental Hire. If the Charterer timely elects to redeliver the Vessel at the end of the Basic Period, and if the Owner, in its
sole discretion, sells the Vessel at the end of the Basic Period to a third party or to an Affiliate, in either case in a Bona Fide Sale and the proceeds of such sale are less than Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000), the Charterer shall within
five (5) Business Days of demand by the Owner, pay the Owner the amount, if any, of the proven shortfall between the amount realized by the Owner upon the sale of the Vessel and $20,000,000, up to a maximum of $3,750,000. In the event the proposed
sale price is less than Twenty-four Million Dollars ($24,000,000) and the Vessel is to be sold to an Affiliate of the Owner, the Owner shall give the Charterer not less than 120 days prior written notice of such proposed sale, including the proposed
sale price, and within 30 days thereafter, the Charterer shall have the right to purchase the Vessel from the Owner for a price of $24,000,000 plus any accrued and unpaid Hire. In that case, the Owner shall have the same obligations with respect to
the sale as it has with respect to a sale pursuant to an exercise of the purchase option at the end of the Charter Period provided for in Clause 74(b) above.

	*	Amounts shown assume that there is no Basic Hire paid on, the Stipulated Loss Payment Date. 

 Amounts shown would be increased for any costs that would be payable by or decreased for amounts that would be payable to the applicable Owner under the Credit Agreement or the Master Agreement in respect of any
prepayment of debt related to the payment of a Stipulated Loss Value. 
 If Stipulated Loss Value must be determined on a payment date other than a Stipulated
Loss Payment Date shown above, such Stipulated Loss Value shall be calculated using the same assumptions and methodology used to calculate the Stipulated Loss Values shown above.
