THIS FIRST PREFERRED MORTGAGE is made

(1)           KTL CAMDEN, INC., a corporation incorporated in the Republic of Liberia whose
registered office is at 80 Broad Street, Monrovia, Liberia and duly registered
as a foreign maritime entity under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall
Islands (the “Owner”)


 


IN FAVOUR OF


 


(1)           THE ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND
plc, acting through its office at Shipping Business
Centre, 5-10 Great Tower Street, London EC3P 3HX (the “Mortgagee”, which expression
includes its successors and assigns).


 


BACKGROUND


 


(A)          The Owner is the sole owner of the whole
of the m.v. “CAMDEN” documented under the laws and flag of the Marshall Islands
with Official Number 2027 of 156,802 gross registered tons and 107,829 net
registered tons.


 


(B)           By a loan agreement  (the “Loan Agreement”) dated 2 March
2004 and made between (i) Knightsbridge Tankers Limited (the “Borrower”),
(ii) KTL Hampstead, Inc., KTL Chelsea, Inc., KTL Mayfair, Inc., KTL Kensington,
Inc. and the Owner (together, the “New Owners” and individually, a “New Owner”)
and (iii) the Mortgagee it was agreed that (a) the Mortgagee would make
available to the Borrower a facility of up to US$140,000,000 by way of up to
five (5) separate advances and (b) the New Owners jointly and severally would
guarantee to the Mortgagee the obligations of the Borrower under the Loan
Agreement and the other Finance Documents and the Master Agreement.  A copy of the form of the Loan Agreement
without attachments is annexed to this Mortgage marked “A”.


 


(C)           By certain agreements (each a “Daylight
Funding Agreement”) made between, among others, each New Owner and
the Mortgagee it was agreed that the Mortgagee would advance to each New Owner
by way of a single advance and by way of overdraft a facility of approximately
US$40,000000 per New Owner for the purpose of financing the balance of that New
Owner’s obligation to pay the purchase price of the Ship to be acquired by it
in excess of the amount available for that purpose under the Loan
Agreement.  By the guarantee contained
in clause 10 of the Loan Agreement each New Owner guarantees the liabilities of
each other New Owner under, inter alia, its Daylight Funding Agreement.  A copy of the form of each Daylight Funding
Agreement is annexed to this Mortgage marked “B”.


 


(D)          It is one of the conditions precedent to
(i) the availability of the facility under the Loan Agreement and (ii) the
facility under the Owner’s Daylight Funding Agreement that the Owner executes
and delivers this Mortgage in favour of the Mortgagee as security for the
Secured Liabilities and the performance and observance of and compliance with
the covenants, terms and conditions contained in the Finance Documents.


 


(E)           Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the
Mortgagee has on the date of this Mortgage advanced to the Borrower, and the
Borrower is indebted to the Mortgagee in, the principal amount of
US$118,498,190 consisting of the aggregate of Advance A, Advance B and Advance
D in the amount of US$84,000,000 and an advance under the Daylight Funding
Agreement in the amount of US$34,498,190. 
As at the date of this Mortgage, the Borrower and the Lender estimate
that the maximum aggregate amount of the Master Agreement Liabilities shall not
exceed US$ 30,000,000


 


(F)           The Owner has authorised the execution
and delivery of this Mortgage under and pursuant to Chapter 3 of the Republic
of The Marshall Islands Maritime Act 1990 as amended.

any registration or notarisation, give any notice or take any other step,


 


which the Mortgagee may, by notice to the
