ANNEX B — LETTER OF QUIET
ENJOYMENT

 

[Letterhead of Mortgagee]

 

[To Charterers]

 

[ ● ]

 

Dear Sirs,

 

Re: [ ● ] (the “Vessel”)

 

We refer to:

 

	 	a.	the time charter dated [ ● ]
    (the “Time Charter”) made between [ ● ] as owner and you (the “Time Charterer”)
    as charterer in respect of the Vessel;
	 	 	 
	 	b.	a loan agreement dated [ ● ] (the
    “Loan Agreement”) made between [ ● ] (the “Owner”) as borrower, us as
    agent and as security trustee (the “Security Trustee”), and the financial institutions named on the signature
    pages therein as lenders and swap banks (the “Finance Parties”); and
	 	 	 
	 	c.	[ ● ] the first priority mortgage
    executed by the Owner over the Vessel in our favour between the Owner and us (the “Mortgage”).

 

	 	 	 
	1.	References in this Letter to the Time Charter or to the Loan Agreement and the Mortgage (together the “Finance Documents”) shall include such documents as amended, supplemented or varied from time to time so long as any such amendment, supplement or variation has been notified to, and agreed by, us. References to paragraphs are to paragraphs of this Letter.

 

	 	 	 
	2.	The Security Trustee confirms that:

 

	 	 	 
	 	d.	it has received a copy of the Time Charter and is familiar with their terms; and
	 	 	 
	 	e.	it consents to the Owner’s execution of the Time Charter.

 

	 	 
	3	In consideration of the sum of US$10.00 and for other good and valuable consideration (receipt and the sufficiency of which the Security Trustee acknowledges), the Security Trustee undertakes for itself and on behalf of the Finance Parties not without the Time Charterer’s prior written consent, but subject as provided below and subject to this undertaking expiring on the expiry of the charter period to:

 

	 	 	 
	 	(a)	issue any arrest, detention or similar proceedings against the Vessel in any jurisdiction; or
	 	 	 
	 	(b)	exercise any power of sale or other disposal of the Vessel or
    of foreclosure to which the Security Trustee may be entitled or make any application for the sale of the Vessel or any share
    therein in any part of the world whether by public auction or private treaty or otherwise (excluding, for the avoidance of
    doubt, any

 

Page 7 of 18

    	 

    	

    
Private and Confidential

 

	 	 	steps to be taken solely to protect, but not enforce, the Finance Parties’ rights in any arrest proceedings or applications
for sale made against the Vessel by any third parties, but only insofar as any such proceedings or applications are continuing
and not permanently stayed, and subject to the condition that the Security Trustee shall cease any such action upon the relevant
proceedings or application being permanently stayed (and release any arrest, or caveat against release, upon the relevant third
party arrest being released) and the Security Trustee shall notify the Time Charterer in writing promptly upon taking or ceasing
any such action); or
	 	 
	 	(c)	take possession of the Vessel; or
	 	 	 
	 	(d)	appoint a receiver in respect of the Vessel; or
	 	 	 
	 	(e)	exercise against the Vessel any right or remedy which would diminish, prejudice
    or interfere with the Time Charterer’s rights, options, benefits or privileges under the Time Charter or otherwise interfere
    with the quiet use and enjoyment of the Vessel by the Time Charterer under the Time Charter, or
	 	 	 
	 	(f)	take any step to wind up, liquidate, or place in administration or receivership
    the Owner nor commence or continue any analogous proceedings in any jurisdiction (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, proving
    in a liquidation commenced by any third party, but only insofar as any such proceedings are continuing and not permanently
    stayed, and subject to the condition that the Security Trustee shall cease any such action upon the relevant proceedings being
    permanently stayed and the Security Trustee shall notify the Time Charterer in writing promptly upon taking or ceasing any
    such action);
	 	 	 
	SUBJECT ALWAYS:
	 	 	 
	 	(i)	to there having occurred no event under the Time Charter (a “Charterer’s
    Termination Event”) in consequence of which the Owner, is entitled to terminate and has lawfully terminated the
    Time Charter in accordance with their terms including, without limitation, withdrawal of the Vessel from the Time Charter
    by the Owner for non-payment of hire;
	 	 	 
	 	(ii)	to the Vessel not having become an actual, agreed, arranged or constructive
    total loss and being no longer available to the Owner:
	 	 	 
	4.	The Security Trustee agrees that unless the Time Charterer is no
    longer entitled to the use and quiet enjoyment of the Vessel under paragraph 3 above, if the Security Trustee enforces or
    exercises its rights pursuant to the Finance Documents in accordance with the terms thereof, the Security Trustee may only
    sell or transfer the Vessel expressly subject to the terms of the Time Charter (a “Permitted Transfer”)
    and provided that:
	 	 
	 	(a)	the rights of the Time Charterer under the Time Charter shall be fully preserved
    and protected following the Permitted Transfer; and
	 	 	 
	 	(b)	before the Permitted Transfer, if the Owner’s rights as “Owner”
    under the Time Charter are to be assigned or transferred to a third party, such third party (the

 

Page 8 of 18

    	 

    	

    
Private and Confidential

 

	 	 	“Substitute”) has assumed the rights and obligations of the Owner under the Time Charter; and

 

	 	(c)	the Substitute is acceptable to the Time Charterer acting reasonably.

 

	 	The Time Charterer shall give its consent to the proposed Substitute if the Time Charterer is satisfied, acting reasonably, that
the validity and enforceability of the Time Charter will not in any way be prejudiced, and if that Substitute (not being a competitor
of the Time Charterer) has such (i) legal capacity (ii) technical competence and (iii) financial capability as are reasonably
required to become a party and to perform the obligations of the Owner under the Time Charter, and, provided that (but
without prejudice to such Substitute’s ability to meet the foregoing criteria in other circumstances):

 

	 	(a)	arrangements concluded with third parties by the proposed Substitute shall
    be taken into account in evaluating its technical competence and financial capability; and
	 	 	 
	 	(b)	in the case of any proposed Substitute which is an affiliate of the Security
    Trustee, evidence that it is controlled by the Security Trustee shall be sufficient evidence of financial capability for the
    purposes of this paragraph 3(a);
	 	 	 
	 	The Owner undertakes not to make any claim against the Vessel and/or Substitute and/or
    the Time Charterer arising directly from a Permitted Transfer made under this Letter.
	 	 	 
	 	The Time Charterer shall use all reasonable endeavours to co-operate with the Security
    Trustee in order to effect a Permitted Transfer at the expense of the Security Trustee.
	 	 	 
	5.	By countersigning this Letter, the Time Charterer hereby
    acknowledges and agrees that:
	 	 	 
	 	(a)	subject to the provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4, the enforcement,
    in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents, by the Security Trustee of any security interests granted in favour
    of the Security Trustee pursuant to the Finance Documents or the sale or transfer of the Vessel pursuant to the Finance Documents
    to any other person shall not constitute a disturbance of the Time Charter or the Time Charterer’s use and quiet enjoyment
    of the Vessel in accordance with the terms of the Time Charter;
	 	 	 
	 	(b)	the covenant by the Security Trustee in this Letter is the sole covenant by
    the Security Trustee in respect of quiet enjoyment and is in substitution for, and to the exclusion of, any other covenant
    for quiet enjoyment which may have otherwise been given by any other party or implied at law or otherwise.
	 	 	 
	6.	The Time Charterer agrees that:
	 	 	 
	 	(a)	without prejudice to any other rights the Time Charterer may have in respect
    of any default by the Owner of any of its obligations under the Time Charter, the Time Charterer will not take any enforcement
    action in respect of or otherwise terminate the Time Charter without first notifying the Security Trustee in writing and giving
    the Security Trustee the opportunity to remedy (or procure the remedy of) any default by the Owner of any of its obligations
    under or in connection with the Time Charter within the relevant period referred to below. Unless the

 

Page 9 of 18

    	 

    	

    
Private and Confidential

 

	 	 	Security Trustee notifies the Time Charterer in writing that it does not wish to exercise any remedy rights, the Time Charterer
will not terminate the Time Charter if the Security Trustee does so remedy (or procure the remedy of) the default within thirty
(30) days of the Time Charterer giving notice to the Owner (copied to the Security Trustee) of the default by the Owner to perform
its obligations under the Time Charter (which cure period shall be extended to sixty (60) days if it is demonstrated to the Time
Charterer (acting reasonably) that the Security Trustee is continuing to diligently remedy (or procure the remedy of) the default;
	 	 
	 	(b)	if the Security Trustee, pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, exercises
    the power of sale under the Mortgage and/or assigns or transfers the rights of the “Owner” under the Time Charter
    to the Substitute, the Time Charterer will not terminate the Time Charter by reason solely of such transfer (without prejudice
    to any accrued rights). In such circumstances, the Time Charterer agrees that the Substitute shall, with effect from the date
    of the Permitted Transfer and notwithstanding any other provisions thereof, become a party to the Time Charter in place of
    the Owner and shall be treated for all purposes as if the Substitute had originally been named a party in place of the Owner
    (without prejudice to any accrued rights).
	 	 
	7.	The Security Trustee acknowledges that the Time Charterer is not
    a party to and is not bound by the provisions of any of the Finance Documents.
	 	 
	8.	The Security Trustee acknowledges that the terms of this Letter
    shall (subject to such beneficiary similarly confirming and consenting to the terms of this Letter) enure to the benefit of
    the successors and assigns of the Time Charterer under the Time Charter.
	 	 
	9.	The Security Trustee confirms that it has been duly authorised
    to issue this Letter on behalf of the Finance Parties and that its issuance conforms with the Loan Agreement and, without
    limitation, the agency provisions described therein.
	 	 
	10.	The terms of this Letter shall be governed by and construed in
    accordance with English law and the provisions of Clause 46 (Law and litigation) of the Time Charter shall apply,
    mutatis mutandis, to any dispute arising out of this Letter as if such provisions were set out in this Letter.

ARTICLE V DELIVERY

 

	(a)	The Vessel shall be delivered to the Buyer (hereinafter
    called the “Delivery”) fully complete, supplied (including lubricating oil and fresh water in the system but excluding
    ship’s stores such as food, utensils, miscellaneous consumables, etc.) and ready for immediate operation, after having
    passed the tests and met the standards set forth in the Specifications and Articles III, IV, and XVII hereof on or before
    March 31, 2013 (hereinafter called the “Delivery Date”). The Buyer may delay Delivery beyond the Delivery
    Date by giving written notice of the revised data (herein after called “Revised Delivery Date”) for Delivery not
    later than two (2) months before keel laying of the vessel. Buyer may give up to only one (1) notice for a delay of ninety
    (90) days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event defects that could affect the Vessel’s seaworthiness or impair
    the operation of Vessel are discovered after the Vessel has passed the tests and met standards set forth in the Specifications
    and prior to Delivery of the Vessel, Buyer shall have the right to require the Builder to make the necessary correction(s)
    at the Builder’s expense prior to Delivery.
	 	 
	(b)	The Builder shall use its best efforts and all due diligence
    and dispatch, including, but not limited to, the ordering, expediting and inspection of all machinery, parts and materials,
    to complete and deliver the Vessel on or prior to the Delivery Date.
	 	 
	(c)	The Builder shall assist the Buyer to bunker and store the
    Vessel (beyond the conditions set forth in Article V(a) above) at Buyer’s expense to be ready for departure. Delivery
    shall be made at the Shipyard at a wharf side where there shall be sufficient water for the Vessel always to be afloat and
    from which it can safely depart, or at such other safe and secure place as may be mutually agreed. Upon Delivery, the Vessel
    shall be free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, taxes and claims of any nature.
	 	 
	(d)	If, at any time, either the commencement of construction, construction
    or Delivery of the Vessel or any performance required hereunder as a prerequisite to the Delivery thereof is delayed
    by any of the following events: namely war, acts of state or government, blockade, revolution, insurrections, riots, strikes,
    sabotage, lockouts or other labor disturbances (excluding disturbances within the control of the Builder), Acts of God, plague
    or other epidemics, quarantines, prolonged failure or restriction of electric current, freight embargoes, earthquakes, tidal
    waves, typhoons, hurricanes, unusually prolonged or unusually severe weather conditions, destruction of the premises of works
    of the Builder or its subcontractors, or of the Vessel, or any part thereof, by fire, landslides, flood, lightning, explosion,
    or other causes beyond the reasonable control of (and not caused by the actions of) the Builder or its subcontractors, as
    the case may be (collectively called “Force Majeure”), then, in the event of delays due to the happening of any
    of the aforementioned contingencies, the number of days by which Delivery is late under this Contract (i.e., after the scheduled
    Delivery Date of the Vessel) shall be reduced, subject to the provisions of this Article V(d), by a period of time
    which shall not exceed the total number of working days lost die to such delays. Notwithstanding the foregoing, eats of commission
    or omission (irrespective as to negligence and whether voluntary or compulsory) of employees, independent contractors or subcontractors,

Private and Confidential

 

	 	 	 
	(e)	The Builder shall notify the Buyer in writing within
    ten (10) days after the beginning of any period of claimed delay as to the facts establishing that the claimed delay
    is excusable pursuant to Article V(d) and the estimated period of delay. The Buyer shall have the right to verify the
    basis of the claimed delay and, if there is a disagreement, the issue shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with
    the provisions of Article XXV. An extension of the Delivery Data shall only be allowed if the event(s) above designated
    adversely affects the Delivery Date of the Vessel, as determined on the date that the Vessel is actually delivered. Should
    the Builder fail to timely give required notice under this Article V(e) demonstrating that the claimed events(s)
    directly affect the Delivery Date, it shall not be excused for any such delay.
	 	 
	(f)	If, following any notice (oral or written) by Builder
    of a delay, Buyer determiners in its reasonable discretion (taking into account the opinion of Builder), other than due to
    delays caused by the Buyer, that Delivery of the Vessel likely will be delayed for any reason whatsoever
    (including without limitation Force Majeure) for a period of more than two hundred (200) days beyond the Delivery Date,
    the Buyer shall have the following options:

 

	 	i)	to continue this Contract reserving Buyer’s
    right to liquidated damages for the time period that late Delivery is not excused by Force Majeure (if properly claimed) as
    provided in Article VII(a); or

 

	 	ii)	to cancel this Contract, in which
    event the Buyer shall be entitled to a refund in accordance with Article VII(g) and no liquidated damages.

 

	 	 	 
	 	If Builder gives Buyer written notice of a delay under Article XXVI,
    Buyer shall have thirty (30) days to exercise the rights under this subarticle (f) with respect to such delay (though

	(g)	i)	Should the Vessel be completed for
    Delivery before the Delivery Date and the Builder has so informed the Buyer at least four (4) months in advance of the
    early delivery date suggested by Builder, the Buyer may take Delivery at Buyer’s option, but not earlier than 90 days
    prior to the Delivery Date, provided that all the terms and conditions of this Contract have been fulfilled.
	 	 	 
	 	ii)	If Buyer elects to exercise the
    option described in (g)(i) above, and if Delivery occurs more than 30 days prior to the Delivery Date, then Buyer agrees to
    pay Builder an early delivery charge of United States Dollars           for each
    day in excess of 30 days that the Vessel is delivered early, up to a maximum of 60 days (if the Vessel is delivered
    90 or more days early). This charge, if applicable, shall be included with other adjustments due with the Final Installment.
    In no event shall there be any charge for early delivery if the Vessel is delivered less than 31 days early.
	 	 	 
	(h)	In any case, the Builder
    shall notify the Buyer the expected approximate delivery date during construction in the
    following manner:
	 	 
	 	i.)	Five (5) months prior to
    the expected delivery date notifying the expected delivery date.

	(j)	The Buyer shall remove

ANNEX B — LETTER OF QUIET ENJOYMENT

 

[Letterhead of Mortgagee]

 

[To Charterers]

 

[●] 2011

 

Dear Sirs,

 

Re: [ ● ] (the “Vessel”)

 

We refer to:

 

	 	a.	the time charter dated [ ● ] (the “Time Charter”) made between [ ● ] as owner and you (the “Time Charterer”) as charterer in respect of the Vessel;
	 	 	 
	 	b.	a loan agreement dated [ ● ] (the “Loan Agreement”) made between [ ● ] (the “Owner”) as borrower, us as agent and as security trustee (the “Security Trustee”), and the financial institutions named on the signature pages therein as lenders and swap banks (the “Finance Parties”); and
	 	 	 
	 	c.	[ ● ] the first priority mortgage executed by the Owner over the Vessel in our favour between the Owner and us (the “Mortgage”).

 

	1.	References in this Letter to the Time Charter or to the Loan Agreement and the Mortgage (together the “Finance Documents”) shall include such documents as amended, supplemented or varied from time to time so long as any such amendment, supplement or variation has been notified to, and agreed by, us. References to paragraphs are to paragraphs of this Letter.
	 	 
	2.	The Security Trustee confirms that:

 

	 	d.	it has received a copy of the Time Charter and is familiar with their terms; and
	 	 	 
	 	c.	it consents to the Owner’s execution of the Time Charter.

 

	3	In consideration of the sum of US$10.00 and for other good and valuable consideration (receipt and the sufficiency of which the Security Trustee acknowledges), the Security Trustee undertakes for itself and on behalf of the Finance Parties not without the Time Charterer’s prior written consent, but subject as provided below and subject to this undertaking expiring on the expiry of the charter period to:

 

	 	(a)	issue any arrest, detention or similar proceedings against the Vessel in any jurisdiction; or
	 	 	 
	 	(b)	exercise any power of sale or other disposal of the Vessel or of foreclosure to which the Security Trustee may be entitled or make any application for the sale of the Vessel or any share therein in any part of the world whether by public auction or private treaty or otherwise (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any
                                                                               

 

 

Page 7  of
19

    	 

    	

    

Private and Confidential

 

	 	 	steps to be taken solely to protect, but not enforce, the Finance Parties’ rights in any arrest proceedings or applications for sale made against the Vessel by any third parties, but only insofar as any such proceedings or applications are continuing and not permanently stayed, and subject to the condition that the Security Trustee shall cease any such action upon the relevant proceedings or application being permanently stayed (and release any arrest, or caveat against release, upon the relevant third party arrest being released) and the Security Trustee shall notify the Time Charterer in writing promptly upon taking or ceasing any such action); or
	 	 	 
	 	(c)	take possession of the Vessel; or
	 	 	 
	 	(d)	appoint a receiver in respect of the Vessel; or
	 	 	 
	 	(e)	exercise against the Vessel any right or remedy which would diminish, prejudice or interfere with the Time Charterer’s rights, options, benefits or privileges under the Time Charter or otherwise interfere with the quiet use and enjoyment of the Vessel by the Time Charterer under the Time Charter; or
	 	 	 
	 	(f)	take any step to wind up, liquidate, or place in administration or receivership the Owner nor commence or continue any analogous proceedings in any jurisdiction (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, proving in a liquidation commenced by any third party, but only insofar as any such proceedings are continuing and not permanently stayed, and subject to the condition that the Security Trustee shall cease any such action upon the relevant proceedings being permanently stayed and the Security Trustee shall notify the Time Charterer in writing promptly upon taking or ceasing any such action);

 

	 	SUBJECT ALWAYS:
	 	 
	 	(i)	to there having occurred no event under the Time Charter (a “Charterer’s Termination Event”) in consequence of which the Owner, is entitled to terminate and has lawfully terminated the Time Charter in accordance with their terms including, without limitation, withdrawal of the Vessel from the Time Charter by the Owner for non-payment of hire;
	 	 	 
	 	(ii)	to the Vessel not having become an actual, agreed, arranged or constructive total loss and being no longer available to the Owner;

 

	4.	The Security Trustee agrees that unless the Time Charterer is no longer entitled to the use and quiet enjoyment of the Vessel under paragraph 3 above, if the Security Trustee enforces or exercises its rights pursuant to the Finance Documents in accordance with the terms thereof, the Security Trustee may only sell or transfer the Vessel expressly subject to the terms of the Time Charter (a “Permitted Transfer”) and provided that:

 

	 	(a)	the rights of the Time Charterer under the Time Charter shall be fully preserved and protected following the Permitted Transfer; and

 

 

Page 8  of
19

    	 

    	

    

Private and Confidential

 

	 	(b)	before the Permitted Transfer, if the Owner’s rights as “Owner” under the Time Charter are to be assigned or transferred to a third party, such third party (the “Substitute”) has assumed the rights and obligations of the Owner under the Time Charter; and
	 	 	 
	 	(c)	the Substitute is acceptable to the Time Charterer acting reasonably.
	 	 	 

	 	The Time Charterer shall give its consent to the proposed Substitute if the Time Charterer is satisfied, acting reasonably, that the validity and enforceability of the Time Charter will not in any way be prejudiced, and if that Substitute (not being a competitor of the Time Charterer) has such (i) legal capacity (ii) technical competence and (iii) financial capability as are reasonably required to become a party and to perform the obligations of the Owner under the Time Charter, and, provided that (but without prejudice to such Substitute’s ability to meet the foregoing criteria in other circumstances):

 

	 	(a)	arrangements concluded with third parties by the proposed Substitute shall be taken into account in evaluating its technical competence and financial capability; and
	 	 	 
	 	(b)	in the case of any proposed Substitute which is an affiliate of the Security Trustee, evidence that it is controlled by the Security Trustee shall be sufficient evidence of financial capability for the purposes of this paragraph 3(a);
	 	 	 

	 	The Owner undertakes not to make any claim against the Vessel and/or Substitute and/or the Time Charterer arising directly from a Permitted Transfer made under this Letter .
	 	 
	 	The Time Charterer shall use all reasonable endeavours to co-operate with the Security Trustee in order to effect a Permitted Transfer at the expense of the Security Trustee.
	 	 

	5.	By countersigning this Letter, the Time Charterer hereby acknowledges and agrees that:
	 	 

	 	(a)	subject to the provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4, the enforcement, in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents, by the Security Trustee of any security interests granted in favour of the Security Trustee pursuant to the Finance Documents or the sale or transfer of the Vessel pursuant to the Finance Documents to any other person shall not constitute a disturbance of the Time Charter or the Time Charterer’s use and quiet enjoyment of the Vessel in accordance with the terms of the Time Charter;
	 	 	 
	 	(b)	the covenant by the Security Trustee in this Letter is the sole covenant by the Security Trustee in respect of quiet enjoyment and is in substitution for, and to the exclusion of, any other covenant for quiet enjoyment which may have otherwise been given by any other party or implied at law or otherwise.
	 	 	 

	6.	The Time Charterer agrees that:
	 	 

	 	(a)	without prejudice to any other rights the Time Charterer may have in respect of any default by the Owner of any of its obligations under the Time Charter, the Time Charterer will not take any enforcement action in respect of or otherwise terminate the Time Charter without first notifying the Security Trustee in writing
