 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, of the mutual covenants herein contained,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which the parties hereby acknowledge, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Termination of Agreements. Except as specifically provided in Section 6 hereof, effective as of the Effective Time (as defined below), and without any further action by any of the HRZ
Parties or the SFL Parties, (a) each of the Charter Transaction Documents and all security interests, liens and other similar interests of any kind or nature, whenever and however arising, which the SFL Parties may have in any of the assets,
interests or property, tangible or intangible, of the HRZ Parties, granted under any of the Charter Transaction Documents by either of the HRZ Parties in favor of any of SFL Parties, shall hereby be automatically terminated, satisfied and released
and be of no further force and effect, (b) no party thereto shall have any rights or remedies under any of the Charter Transaction Documents, (c) all of the HRZ Parties’ respective outstanding liabilities and obligations to the SFL
Parties under the Charter Transaction Documents shall be deemed satisfied in full, and each of the HRZ Parties shall be fully released and discharged from any and all obligations, liabilities, covenants and agreements thereunder, (d) all of the
SFL Parties’ respective outstanding liabilities and obligations to the HRZ Parties under the Charter Transaction Documents shall be deemed satisfied in full, and each of the SFL Parties shall be released and discharged from any and all
obligations, liabilities, covenants and agreements thereunder, and (e) the Charter Transaction Documents and any and all rights thereunder (including, without limitation, any provisions in a Charter Transaction Document that state they are to

 3. Further Assurances; Collateral Review; Registration Rights Agreement. 

(a) Each of the SFL Parties agrees to execute and deliver to the HRZ Parties such further instruments and take such actions as are
necessary or as the HRZ Parties shall reasonably request to terminate such SFL Party’s security interests and liens, if any, in the assets or property of either of the HRZ Parties and to effectuate, or reflect on the public record, the
termination, release and discharge of such security interests and liens, including, without limitation, filing UCC-3 financing statements in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and releasing its interests in the insurances taken out by the
Charterer in respect of the Vessels.

with a review of the collateral securing the notes issued under the Second Lien Indenture, including the SFL Notes (the “Second Lien Notes”), and shall provide any information and copies of documents relating thereto reasonably
requested by the SFL Parties and their counsel in connection therewith. If the SFL Parties determine that there are any deficiencies in the validity or perfection of the liens on the collateral securing the Second Lien Notes compared to the
requirements imposed under the documentation for the Second Lien Notes, the HRZ Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions and execute and, if applicable, record such financing statements, instruments and other documents
as the SFL Parties shall reasonably request in order to correct any such deficiency. The Charterer shall pay all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the SFL Parties, including reasonable attorneys fees, in connection with such
collateral review and any actions required to correct any deficiencies with respect to the liens securing the Second Lien Notes promptly upon demand. 
 (c) The HRZ Parties agree to take commercially reasonable efforts to cause the amendment of that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 5, 2011, by and among the Charterer, the
guarantors listed on the signature pages thereto and the purchasers party thereto (the “RRA”) so that, upon execution of the amendment, the “Initial Notes” thereunder will by definition include the SFL Notes. If the
requisite consents required for such amendment under Section 11(c) of the RRA cannot be obtained within 30 days following April 5, 2012, the HRZ Parties agree to enter into a new registration rights agreement with the holders of the SFL
Notes in a form substantially the same as the RRA and which gives the holders of the SFL Notes substantially similar rights as the holders of the “Initial Notes” under the RRA. 

(d) Promptly following the Effective Time, the HRZ Parties will commence a solicitation of consents under the Second Lien Indenture to
amend the Second Lien Indenture and the SFL Notes to reflect the substantive terms described in Exhibit 7 hereto (the “Additional Consent Solicitation”). Each of the SFL Parties, in its capacity as a holder of the SFL Notes, agrees
to timely grant its consent to the Additional Consent Solicitation, execute and deliver fully executed letters of consent and any other required documents in connection with the Additional Consent Solicitation and provide appropriate direction to
the relevant custodians, account holders and participants with respect to the SFL Notes to effectuate consent under the Additional Consent Solicitation. Each SFL Party further agrees that the HRZ Parties may consummate the Additional Consent
Solicitation as soon as the conditions precedent described therein are satisfied, and such SFL Party will not revoke, withdraw or amend its consent to the Additional Consent Solicitation.

any further action by any of the Creditor Parties, the SFL Parties or the HRZ Parties, (a) each of the Charter Transaction Documents and all security interests, liens and other similar interests of any kind or nature, whenever and however
arising, which any of the Creditor Parties may have in any of the assets, interests or property, tangible or intangible, of the HRZ Parties, granted under any of the Charter Transaction Documents by either of the HRZ Parties in favor of the Agent or
any of the Creditor Parties, shall hereby be automatically terminated, satisfied and released and be of no further force and effect, (b) no party thereto shall have any rights or remedies under any of the Charter Transaction Documents,

property of either of the HRZ Parties and to effectuate, or reflect on the public record, the termination, release and discharge of such security interests and liens, including, without limitation, filing UCC-3 financing statements and releasing its
interests in the insurances taken out by the Charterer in respect of the Vessels. 
 5. The Agent, for itself and on behalf of
the other Creditor Parties, effective as of the Effective Time, hereby voluntarily, intentionally, knowingly, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably releases, remits, acquits and forever discharges and covenants not to sue each of the HRZ

damages, losses, costs and/or attorneys’ fees and expenses of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, anticipated or unanticipated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, both at law and in equity, which it now has, has ever had or
may hereafter have, by reason of any actual or alleged act, omission, transaction, practice, conduct, occurrence, cause, event or other matter whatsoever occurring at any time prior to the Effective Time or thereafter, arising out of, relating to or
in any way connected with the Charter Transaction Documents (other than this Agreement). 
 6. For purposes of this Consent and

 Terms of Additional Consent Solicitation 
 Amendments to Section 17 of the SFL Note:

  

	 	•	 	 References to “ Section 7.01(a)(vi) of the Indenture” will be modified to “Section 7.01(a)(vi) or Section 7.01(a)(vii) of the
Indenture”. 


  

	 	•	 	 Add to Section 17(e) at the end of Section 17: “This Section 17 is for the benefit of each Holder of the Original Notes and each
Holder of the Original Notes is deemed to have conclusively relied on this Section 17 in acquiring or continuing to hold the Original Notes. This Section 17 is enforceable by the Holders of the Original Notes and may only be amended or
modified with the consent of the Holders of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of the Original Notes then outstanding under the Indenture; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not affect the rights of the Holder of this Note
set forth in Section 11.02(j) of the Indenture; and provided further that section 17(d) may not be amended or modified without the prior written consent of the Holder of this Note.” 



Amendment and restatement of the second and third paragraphs of Section 2.13 of the Second Lien Indenture as follows (revisions from April 9,
2012 Supplemental Indenture incorporated below): 
 “In the event that an Additional Note is issued pursuant to this Section 2.13 and
in reliance on Section 4.11(b)(xxiii) in an amount not to exceed $40.0 million in aggregate principal amount (such Additional Note, the “New Note”), the initial holder of the New Note shall have the right (such right, the
“Repurchase Right”), only upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a)(vi) or Section 7.01(a)(vii) and only if such holder shall continue to hold the entire initial principal amount of the New
Note, to purchase all, but not less than all, other outstanding Notes from the Holders thereof at a purchase price equal to the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including interest accruing on or after the
commencement of any proceeding referenced in Section 7.01(a)(vi) or Section 7.01(a)(vii) of the Indenture, whether or not such interest would be allowed in any such proceeding) to, but not including, the date of purchase (the
“Purchase Date”). Such purchase shall be consummated upon reasonable notice to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and upon such other terms as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, except that any such purchase notice to the
Trustee and the Holders shall be given no later than 15 days before the Purchase Date. Provided that the initial holder of the New Note has caused the deposit of funds with the Trustee sufficient to consummate the purchase of the outstanding Notes
on the Purchase Date, the Notes subject to the Repurchase Right shall be deemed automatically transferred by the Holder to the initial holder of the New Note on the Purchase Date without any further action by the Holder. Notice of the Repurchase
Right to the Holders of the Notes shall be deemed made upon occurrence of any of the following: 
 1. Three business days following written
notice of the Repurchase Right by the Holder of this Note to DTC; 







 2. Three business days following written notice of the Repurchase Right by the Holder of this Note to the
Trustee; or 
 3. Written notice of the Repurchase Right is delivered by the Company to the Trustee directing the Trustee to provide notice to
the Holders of the Notes. 
 The Company shall provide the notice in subsection 3 above within two business days following written notice to the
Company by the Holder of this Note. 
 THE REPURCHASE RIGHT IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO SUCH HOLDER’S PARTICIPATION IN AN OVERALL
RESTRUCTURING OF THE COMPANY THAT PROVIDES SUBSTANTIAL BENEFIT AND CONSIDERATION TO THE HOLDERS OF EXISTING NOTES. AS NOTED ELSEWHERE, THE NEW NOTE IS SUBORDINATED IN RIGHT OF PAYMENT TO THE NOTES AND NOTE GUARANTEES INITIALLY ISSUED UNDER THE
INDENTURE IN THE EVENT OF A BANKRUPTCY OF THE COMPANY OR CERTAIN OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES. IN THE EVENT A HOLDER OF NOTES FAILS TO COMPLY WITH THE REPURCHASE RIGHT (A “NON-COMPLIANT HOLDER”), THE HOLDER OF THE NEW NOTE SHALL NOT
BE SUBORDINATED IN RIGHT OF PAYMENT IN ANY WAY WITH RESPECT TO THE NON-COMPLIANT HOLDER, WHETHER UNDER THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTE GUARANTEES OR OTHERWISE.”
