        enforce any rights or benefits hereby assigned to the Mortgagee or to
        which the Mortgagee (as security agent and trustee on behalf of the

5.5.2   the Mortgagee granting any time, indulgence or concession to, or

        other person liable but so that, if so directed by the Mortgagee, it
        will prove for the whole or any part of its claim in the liquidation of
        the Owner on terms that the benefit of such proof and of all money
        received by it in respect thereof shall be paid to the Mortgagee for
        application in or towards discharge of the Outstanding Indebtedness

        this Deed) have been payable to the Charterer may, if an Event of
        Default has happened, be placed to the credit of a suspense account with
        a view to preserving the rights of the Mortgagee to prove for the whole
        of its and the Secured Creditors' claims against the Owner, the other
        Borrowers or any other person liable or may be applied in or towards

        any other reason whatsoever and if such condition shall not be fulfilled

        Charterer and the Mortgagee (the "Co-ordination Deed") or (d) the
        Charter Guarantor has not committed a breach of this Deed, the Mortgagee
        agrees that it will not take any action as mortgagee against the Ship
        under (i) the Loan Agreement and (ii) any of the other Security
        Documents, which action would have the effect of interfering with the
        Charterer's quiet enjoyment of the Ship PROVIDED ALWAYS THAT:

16.2.1  nothing in this clause 16 shall prevent the Mortgagee and/or the other
        Creditors (as defined in the Loan Agreement) from exercising any of
        their respective rights under the Loan Agreement and/or the Security
        Documents (including without limitation, rights thereunder to foreclose,
        take possession of and sell the Ship) if those rights are exercised in
        such a way as to enable the Ship to be available to the Charterer during
        the Charter Period; and

16.2.2  nothing in this clause 16 shall prevent the Mortgagee and/or the other
        Creditors (as defined in the Loan Agreement) from joining or intervening
        in or otherwise supporting any proceedings arising from or relating to
        the arrest or detention of the Ship by any other person with a view to
        substantiating, preserving or protecting the Mortgagee and/or the other
        Creditors' (as defined in the Loan Agreement) interest in the Ship as
        mortgagee or otherwise.

16.3    Termination by Mortgagee

        On the occurrence of any of the following: 16.3.1 an Event of Default;
        and

16.3.2  if any event or circumstance shall have occurred which would, under the
        terms of the Charter, entitle the Owner to terminate the Charter; or

16.3.3  if the Charterer shall be in default of any of its obligations under
        this Deed; or

16.3.4  if the Charterer is in breach of any of the terms of the Co-ordination
        Deed; or

16.3.5  if the Charter Guarantor shall be in default of its obligations under
        this Deed,

        the Mortgagee shall be entitled to terminate the Charter by notice to
        the Owner and the Charterer, which notice shall operate to terminate the
        Charter forthwith if the Ship is then in port and free of cargo or
        otherwise upon completion of the voyage (including discharge of cargo,
        if any) upon which the Ship was engaged at the time when the notice to
        determine was given and upon any termination of the Charter pursuant to
        this clause 16.3:

                (a)     all obligations whatsoever of the Owner thereunder shall
                        be absolutely discharged and extinguished;

                (b)     if the Charterer shall, at any time prior to such
                        termination, have been in repudiators, breach of the
                        terms of the Charter, such termination by the Mortgagee
                        shall, as between the Owner and the Charterer, operate
                        as an acceptance by the Owner of the Charterers
                        repudiation of the Charter and the Owner's right to
                        recover damages in respect of such repudiation (as such
                        right has been assigned to the Mortgagee by the Charter
                        Assignment) shall be fully preserved; and

                (c)     the Charterer shall cease to be in possession of the
                        Ship with the consent of the Owner (or with the consent
                        of the Mortgagee as the Owners assignee) and shall
                        forthwith vacate possession of the Ship in an orderly
                        fashion, Provided that such vacating of possession of
                        the Ship by the Charterer shall not of itself constitute
                        the Mortgagee a mortgagee-in-possession of the Ship.

16.4    Preservation of Owner's rights

        If the circumstances in which the Mortgagee becomes entitled under
        clauses 16.2 or 16.3 to determine the Charter shall constitute or
        include grounds on which the Owner was entitled to determine the same,
        any determination by the Mortgagee shall (as between the Owner and the
        Charterer) operate as an acceptance by the Owner of the Charterer's
        repudiation of the Charter and the Owner's right to recover damages in
        respect of such repudiation shall be fully preserved.

16.5    Remedy of Owner's breach

        Notwithstanding anything herein contained, the Owner shall remain liable
        to perform all the obligations assumed by it under the Charter and the
        Mortgagee shall have no obligations whatsoever thereunder or be under
        any liability whatsoever to the Charterer in event of any failure by the
        Owner to perform its obligations thereunder or hereunder provided
        however that:

16.5.1  a notice in writing (which shall set out full particulars of the matters
        complained of and which is hereinafter called the "notice of complaint")
        shall be immediately given by the Charterer to the Mortgagee in event of
        any breach or alleged breach of the Charter by the Owner by reason
        whatsoever the Charterer claims to be entitled to determine the Charter;

16.5.2  within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Mortgagee of any notice of
        complaint by the Mortgagee shall be entitled (but not bound) to notify
        the Charterer in writing of its intention to remedy the matters
        complained of by such notice of complaint and any remedial measures
        thereafter taken by the Mortgagee shall be without prejudice to the
        Charterers right to claim against the Owner in respect of any loss and
        damage suffered by the Charterer by reason of such breach but in no
        circumstances shall the Mortgagee be under any liability therefore or
        for any loss or damage suffered by the Charterer arising from delay or
        otherwise in effecting such remedial measures as the Mortgagee (whose
        decision shall be final) deems appropriate; and

16.5.3  all expenses whatsoever incurred by the Mortgagee in or about such
        remedial measures as may be undertaken on its behalf pursuant to clause
        16.5.2 shall be recoverable by the Mortgagee from the Owner on demand
        but payment by the Owner to the Mortgagee pursuant to such demand shall
        not as between the Owner and the Charterer operate as an admission by
        the Owner of liability for the matters complained of in the relevant
        notice of complaint.

16.6    Sale free of or subject to Charter

        Notwithstanding anything herein contained, in the event of a sale of the
        Ship during the Charter Period pursuant to the power in that behalf
        vested in the Mortgagee by virtue of the Security Documents, such sale
        shall be free of or subject to the Charter at the option of the
        Mortgagee.

16.7    Sale subject to Charter

        If the Ship is sold subject to the Charter (which expression means that
        the purchaser of the Ship or any other person chartering the Ship from
        the purchaser shall as from the date on which the Ship is registered in
        the name of the purchaser assume all future obligations and acquire all
        future rights and benefits under the Charter), the Owner and/or the
        Charterer shall enter into such form of agreement with the purchaser as
        the Mortgagee may require to the intent that such purchaser or other
        person shall be substituted in place of the Owner as owner or disponent
        owner of the Ship for the purposes of the Charter.

16.8    Sale free of Charter

        Without prejudice to clauses 16.2 and 16.3, if the Ship is sold free of
        the Charter, the Owner and the Charterer shall enter into such form of
        agreement or agreements as the Mortgagee may require for determination
        of the Charter by mutual consent.

17      Continuation of Charter Period

        The Charterer shall continue to pay charterhire under the Charter on the
        days and in the amounts required under the Charter notwithstanding that
        the Ship shall become a Total Loss or that the Charterer shall be
        permanently deprived of her use for any other reason prior to the end of
        the Charter Period, provided that no further instalments of charterhire
        shall become due and payable after the Borrowers have prepaid the
        Advance relevant to such Ship or any other part of the Loan As may be
        required in clause 4.3 of the Loan Agreement.

       punctual  payment of all sums payable by the Charterer to the Beneficiary
       under or pursuant  to the Charter  (including,  without  limitation,  all
       charterhire,  interest,  fees, costs, charges and expenses) together with
       interest  to the date of payment  (as well after as before  judgment)  at
       such rates and upon such terms as may from time to time be  expressed  to
       be  payable by the  Charterer  and any  damages  (whether  liquidated  or
       otherwise for breach of the Charter) on a full and unqualified  indemnity
       basis and undertake  that if for any reason the  Charterer  shall fail to
       pay any sums due  under or  pursuant  to the  Charter  on the due date of
       payment  thereunder the Guarantor  shall,  on demand by the  Beneficiary,
       unconditionally  pay such sum to the  Beneficiary.

2      As a separate and independent stipulation,  the Guarantor irrevocably and
       unconditionally  agrees that if any purported  obligation or liability of
       the Charterer  which would have been the subject of this Guarantee had it
       been valid and  enforceable  is not or ceases to be valid or  enforceable
       against the  Charterer on any ground  whatsoever  whether or not known to
       the Beneficiary (including, without limitation, any irregular exercise or
       absence of any corporate power or lack of authority of, or breach of duty
       by, any person  purporting to act on behalf of the Charterer or any legal
       or other  limitation,  whether under the Limitation  Acts or otherwise or
       any  disability or incapacity  or any change in the  constitution  of the
       Charterer) the Guarantor shall  nevertheless be liable to the Beneficiary
       in respect of that purported  obligation or liability as if the same were
       fully valid and enforceable  and the Guarantor were the principal  debtor
       in respect  thereof.  The Guarantor hereby agrees to keep the Beneficiary
       fully  indemnified  on demand  against  all  damages,  losses,  costs and
       expenses  arising  from  any  failure  of the  Charterer  to  perform  or
       discharge  any  such  purported  obligation  or  liability  or  from  any
       invalidity or unenforceability of any of the same against the Charterer.

3      The Guarantor's liability under this Guarantee shall not be discharged in
       whole or in part or otherwise be affected in any way by reason of (a) the
       Beneficiary  giving the Charterer time or any other concession or taking,
       holding,  varying,  realising or not enforcing any other security for the
       liabilities of the Charterer under the Charter,  (b) any legal limitation
       or  incapacity   relating  to  the  Charterer,   (c)  the  invalidity  or
       unenforceability of the obligations of the Charterer under the Charter or
       (d)  any  other  act  or  omission  of  the   Beneficiary  or  any  other
       circumstances  which but for this provision would discharge the Guarantor
       and any moneys  expressed to be payable by the Charterer  under the terms
       of the Charter  which may not be  recoverable  from the Charterer for any
       such reason shall be recoverable by the Beneficiary from the Guarantor as
       principal debtor.

4      This Guarantee shall expire upon  termination by effluxion of time of the
       Charter  or  otherwise  in  circumstances  where all  obligations  of the
       Charterer shall have been irrevocably and  unconditionally  discharged in
       full.

5      The  Beneficiary  may enforce this Guarantee  without first making demand
       on, or taking any proceeding against, the Charterer.

6      All payments by the Guarantor  hereunder shall be made without set-off or
       counterclaim  and,  subject to paragraph 7 hereof,  free and clear of any
       deductions or withholdings in United States Dollars in same day funds (or
       such  other  funds  as may  then  be  customary  for  the  settlement  of
       international  bank transactions in the relevant currency) not later than
       10am  (local time in the place of payment) on the due date to the account
       of the Beneficiary notified to the Guarantor by the Beneficiary.

7      If at any  time the  Guarantor  is  required  to make  any  deduction  or
       withholding  in  respect  of any taxes  (which  for the  purpose  of this
       Guarantee includes all present and future taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
       fees or charges of whatever  nature  together with  interest  thereon and
       penalties in respect  thereof) from any payment due under this Guarantee,
       the sum due  from the  Guarantor  in  respect  of such  payment  shall be
       increased to the extent  necessary  to ensure  that,  after the making of
       such deduction or withholding,  the Beneficiary  receives on the due date
       for such payment (and retains, free from any liability in respect of such
       deduction or  withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have
       received had no such  deduction or  withholding  been required to be made
       and the Guarantor shall  indemnify the Beneficiary  against any losses or
       costs  incurred by it by reason of any failure of the  Guarantor  to make
       any such deduction or  withholding or by reason of any increased  payment
       not being  made on the due date for such  payment.  The  Guarantor  shall
       promptly  deliver to the Beneficiary any receipts,  certificates or other
       proof  evidencing  the amounts (if any) paid or payable in respect of any
       deduction or withholding as aforesaid.

8      If any sum due from the  Guarantor  under this  Guarantee or any order or
       judgment  given or made in relation  hereto has to be converted  from the
       currency  (the "first  currency") in which the same is payable under this
       Guarantee  or under such order or judgment  into  another  currency  (the
       "second  currency")  for the  purpose  of (i) making or filing a claim or
       proof against the  Guarantor,  (ii) obtaining an order or judgment in any
       court or other tribunal or (iii) enforcing any order to judgment given or
       made in relation to this  Guarantee,  the Guarantor  shall  indemnify and
       hold  harmless the  Beneficiary  from and against any loss  suffered as a
       result of any  difference  between (a) the rate of exchange used for such
       purpose to convert the sum in question  from the first  currency into the
       second  currency  and (b) the  rate or  rates of  exchange  at which  the
       Beneficiary  may in the  ordinary  course of business  purchase the first
       currency  with the second  currency  upon  receipt of a sum paid to it in
       satisfaction,  in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or
       proof. Any amount due from the Guarantor under this clause 8 shall be due
       as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment  being  obtained
       for any other sums due under or in respect of this Guarantee and the term
       "rate of exchange"  includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in
       connection  with the  purchase  of the  first  currency  with the  second
       currency.

              as stated in the relevant consolidated financial statements of the
              Group,  but  excluding  any ships at the  relevant  time  owned by
              members of the Group which, for the purposes of such  consolidated
              financial  statements,  are included in the consolidated  tangible
              fixed assets of the Group (for the purposes of paragraphs 10.2 and
              10.3, the "Relevant Ships"); and

       (b)    the aggregate of the market value of the Relevant  Ships,  as such
              market value shall have been most recently  determined  (as of the

              paragraph 10.3 of this  Guarantee by means of valuations  obtained
              by the  Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of paragraph
              10.3 of this Guarantee (and not the value of the Relevant Ships as
              stated in the relevant  consolidated  financial  statements of the
              Group).

10.2.7 All the terms defined in this  paragraph  10.2 and used in this Guarantee
       are to be determined on a consolidated  basis in respect of the Group and
       (except as items are  expressly  included  or  excluded  in the  relevant
       definition or clause) are used and shall be construed in accordance  with
       Applicable  Accounting  Principles  and as  determined  from  the  latest
       consolidated   financial   statements  of  the  Group  delivered  to  the
       Beneficiary pursuant to paragraph 10.1.1.

10.2.8 The  compliance of the Guarantor with the covenants set out in paragraphs
       10.2.1,   10.2.4  and  10.2.5  shalt  be   determined  on  the  basis  of
       calculations  made by the  Beneficiary  at any time by  reference to then
       latest  consolidated  financial  statements of the Group delivered to the
       Beneficiary  pursuant to paragraph 10.1.1. For the avoidance of doubt, it
       is hereby  agreed  that the  Beneficiary  shall be  entitled to make such
       determinations  and/or  calculations at any time when, and in relation to
       any period in relation to which, the Guarantor shall be obliged to comply
       with each of the covenants out in  paragraphs  10.2.1,  10.2.4 and 10.2.5
       without  regard  to when  any  such  financial  statements  are due to be
       delivered or have been actually delivered to the Beneficiary  pursuant to
       paragraph 10.1.

10.2.7 For the purposes of this paragraph 10.2:

       (a)    no item  shall be  deducted  or  credited  more  than  once in any
              calculation; and

       (b)    any amount  expressed  in a  currency  other  than  United  States
              Dollars  shall  be  converted   into  United  States   Dollars  in
              accordance with Applicable Accounting Principles.

10.3   Valuation of Relevant Ships

10.3.1 Valuations

       Each of the Relevant Ships shall,  for the purposes of this paragraph 10,
       be valued in United  States  Dollars  as and when the  Beneficiary  shall
       require.  Each such  valuation  of a  Relevant  Ship  shall be made by an
       independent  firm  of  shipbrokers  appointed  by the  Beneficiary.  Such
       valuation  shall be made  without,  unless  required by the  Beneficiary,
       physical  inspection,  and on the basis of a sale for prompt delivery for
       cash at arm's  length,  on normal  commercial  terms as between a willing
       buyer and a willing seller and without taking into account the benefit of
       any  charterparty or other employment of such Relevant Ship. The value of
       each of the Relevant Ships  determined in accordance  with the provisions
       of this  paragraph  10.3 shall be binding upon the parties hereto for the
       purposes of calculating the Total Market Value Adjusted Assets until such
       time as any further such valuations shall be obtained.

10.3.2 Information

       The Guarantor  undertakes to the Beneficiary to supply to the Beneficiary
       and to any such shipbroker such information  concerning any Relevant Ship
       and its  condition as such  shipbrokers  may  reasonably  require for the
       purpose of making any such valuation.

10.3.3 Costs

       All costs in connection with the  Beneficiary  obtaining any valuation of
       each of the  Relevant  Ships  referred  to in  paragraph  10.3.1  of this
       Guarantee shall be borne by the Guarantor.

11     No failure or delay on the part of the Beneficiary to exercise any right,
       power or remedy under this Guarantee  shall operate as a waiver  thereof,
       nor shall any  single or  partial  exercise  by the  Beneficiary,  of any
       right,  power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
       the exercise of any other right,  power or remedy.  The remedies provided
       in this  Guarantee are  cumulative  and are not exclusive of any remedies
       provided by law.

12     The Guarantor may not assign any of its rights or obligations  hereunder.
       The  Beneficiary  may assign any of its rights  hereunder  to Fortis Bank
       NV/SA of Montagne de Parc 3, 1000 Brussels,  Belgium,  acting through its
       Athens branch at 166 Syngrou Avenue, 176 71 Athens,  Greece (the "Agent")
       (acting as security  agent and trustee on behalf of a syndicate  of banks
       and other ancillary  parties).  The Guarantor  hereby agrees that it will
       promptly execute an  acknowledgement in favour of the Agent of any notice
       of assignment  delivered to it relating to any such assignment.  13 Every
       claim or notice under this Guarantee shall be in writing and may be given
       or made  by post or fax to the  Guarantor  or the  Beneficiary  at  their
       respective  addresses given above or to another  address  notified by the
       Guarantor or the  Beneficiary  (or its  assignee) to the other under this
       Guarantee.  Every  notice shall be deemed to have been  received,  in the
       case  of a fax at the  time of  despatch  (provided  that if the  date of
       despatch is not a working day in the country of the  addressee,  it shall
       be deemed received on the next working day), and in the case of a letter,
       when delivered.

14     (a)    This  Guarantee  shall be governed by and  construed in accordance
              with English law.

       (b)    The Guarantor agrees, for the benefit of the Beneficiary, that any
              legal action or proceedings  arising out of or in connection  with
              this  Guarantee  may be brought in English  courts.  The Guarantor
              irrevocably  and  unconditionally  submits to the  jurisdiction of
              such courts and irrevocably designates,  appoints and empowers Top
              Tankers  (UK)  Limited  at  present  of 50 Park  Street,  W1K 2JJ,
              London,  England to receive for it and on its  behalf,  service or
              process  issued out of the English courts in any such legal action
              or proceedings. The submission to such jurisdiction shall not (and
              shall  not  be  construed  so  as  to)  limit  the  right  of  the
              Beneficiary to take proceedings against the Guarantor in any other
              court  of   competent   jurisdiction   nor  shall  the  taking  of
              proceedings in any one or more  jurisdictions  preclude the taking
              of proceedings in any other jurisdiction,  whether concurrently or
              not.

15     Other than with  respect to the  Beneficiary,  no term of this  Guarantee
       shall be enforceable  pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties)
       Act 1999 by a person who is not a party to this Guarantee.
