      ninety days after delivery of the Vessel by the shipyard to SPV Juist and
      SPV Norderney and upon delivery of a Vessel by the shipyard to SPV
      Baltrum, SPV Langeoog, SPV Amrum, SPV Sylt, SPV Wangerooge, SPV Neuwerk,

      shall pay Hartmann for the provision of the Corporate Guarantee a fee of
      two per cent (2,0 %) per annum of the average guaranteed amount in each

      amount outstanding at the 1st
      day of the month plus the amount outstanding at the last day of that month
      divided by two.

              SCMP

      share capitalization of the SPVs until payment of the SCMP Share in all
      SPVs is effected by payment of funds either by SCMP or by Hartmann
      according to this Agreement.

              SCMP
      hereby accepts that although accrued interest on equity paid in advance of
      delivery of the respective Vessel shall be paid to SCMP as a limited
      partner of the SPVs at delivery of a Vessel, SCMP shall use such funds
      received exclusively to repay outstanding loans related to the SPVs at the
      SCMP Equity Finance Bank.

            

    

    
 

    
      	
              3.2

            	
              Ten
      (10) calendar days prior to the SCMP Equity Payment Date, ATL will
      establish an account for all SPVs in which ATL will propose a distribution
      of dividends or other distributions of revenue or capital nature to the
      limited partners taking however into consideration a liquidity reserve for
      the SPVs covering the payment obligations of the SPVs under the Loan
      Agreement and for the operational expenses of the respective Vessel for a
      period that satisfies the covenants of the Loan Agreement or longer if
      deemed prudent by ATL in conducting the business of the SPVs as a
      reasonable businessman.  Hartmann and SCMP hereby agree in
      advance to the distribution assessed by ATL under the condition that the
      payment due to SCMP is effected to the next SPV whose Vessel is to be
      delivered and where the SCMP Share has not been fully funded. In case of
      an excess of such a distribution of dividends such excess shall be used in
      the same order and procedure for the remaining SPVs whose SCMP Share is
      not fully funded at that time.

              4.1

            	
              Should
      SCMP not have paid the SCMP Share until the SCMP Equity Payment Date as
      defined in Clause 1.4 hereof either by funds collected or by distribution
      of dividends as described in Clause 3 hereof or by distribution of accrued
      interest as described in Clause 1.3 hereof, the outstanding balance of the
      SCMP Share of the specific SPV whose Vessel is delivered is paid by
      Hartmann to the account of the specific SPV with NordLB up to the total
      maximum amount of the Corporate Guarantee at the first banking day
      following the SCMP Equity Payment Date. Corresponding to that payment SCMP
      hereby irrevocably assigns the SCMP Share in the specific SPV at their
      nominal value to Hartmann up to the amount actually paid by Hartmann
      (hereinafter referred to the “Transferred SCMP Shares”). Hartmann accepts
      this assignment.

            

    

    
 

    
      	
              4.2

            	
              In
      any event Hartmann shall not own more than fifty per cent (50 %) of the
      Agreed Equity in each SPV, i.e. € 6,000,000.00 (Euros six million) in the
      case of Agreed Equity A, € 6,750,000.00 (Euros six million seven hundred
      fifty thousand) in the case of Agreed Equity B and € 17,500,000.00 (Euros
      seventeen million five hundred thousand) in the case of Agreed Equity C
      (hereinafter together referred to as the “Share Threshold”). Accordingly
      Hartmann can only increase the Hartmann Share in each SPV by twenty five
      per cent (25 %) of the Agreed Equity by means of SCMP Shares (hereinafter
      referred to as the “Available Scope of
Shares”).

              4.3

            	
              In
      case the amount outstanding of the SCMP Share in any SPV exceeds the Share
      Threshold, only shares up to the Available Scope of Shares in that SPV are
      transferred to Hartmann. For the payment in excess of the Share Threshold
      (hereinafter the “Excess Payment”), limited shares in all other SPVs are
      transferred to Hartmann at nominal value pari passu, provided
      the Share Threshold in these other SPVs is not
  exceeded.

            

    

    
 

    
      	
              4.4

            	
              In
      order to allocate the amount of limited shares which are transferred by
      SCMP to Hartmann at the SCMP Equity Payment Date, ATL shall establish an
      account at the SCMP Equity Payment Date in which for each
    SPV

            

    

    
      	
               

            	
              (a)
      the outstanding amount of the SCMP Share is
  ascertained,

            

    

    
      	
               

            	
              (b)
      the amount of Excess Payment is
recorded.

            

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              Upon
      such account being established, the total amount of Excess Payment is
      allocated pari
      passu to the SPVs (hereinafter referred to as the “Excess Payment
      Share”) up to the Share Threshold. If the Excess Payment Share allocated
      to a SPV would exceed the Share Threshold of that SPV (hereinafter
      referred to as the “Second Excess Payment”), the Second Excess Payment
      shall be allocated to the SPVs remaining up to their Share Threshold
      (hereinafter referred to as the “Second Excess Payment Share”). This
      allocation procedure shall continue until Hartmann has received limited
      shares in the SPV at nominal value for its payment of the outstanding
      amount of the SCMP Share. The aforesaid procedure shall apply no matter
      whether a SPV took delivery of its respective Vessel or is waiting for
      delivery of its Vessel by Fincantieri

calendar months (except for those equipments for which the supplier grants a
longer period ) commencing on the date of the Ship's delivery to
ATL.

    On ATL’s
request, FINC shall, at its own expense, repair and/or replace at one of its
Shipyards any part of its own supply (including the supply of its
Sub-contractors and suppliers) for which ATL notifies on delivery defects or
deviations or which, during the foregoing guarantee period, show defects and
deviations not remarkable on delivery, chargeable either to design, materials or
workmanship, provided that such defects and deviations are notified in writing
to  FINC on delivery or, at the latest, within one (1) month from the
date of their discovery and provided that ATL can prove that such defects and
deviations are attributable to  FINC.

    

    Repairs
and replacements carried out by FINC in accordance with this Article shall
be

    covered
by a prolongation of guarantee governed by all the provisions of this Article
but the extent of the guarantee shall in no case exceed the time period of
twentyfour  (24) months from the date of Ship's delivery.

    

    In the
event that the Ship should need to be dry-docked, solely for repairs or for
replacements made necessary by defects or deviations attributable to FINC,

about the type and extent of the defects or deviations to be remedied, stating
the reason for necessity to have the work carried out elsewhere and provided the
relevant approval from FINC is received by ATL.

    In such a
case, FINC shall reimburse to ATL the documented expenses incurred by ATL for
such repairs and/or replacements.

reimbursement, however, shall not exceed the cost which FINC would have borne by
carrying out the repairs and/or replacements at its Shipyards.

    

    If
requested by FINC, ATL shall return, at its care and expense, the parts
replaced.

maintenance activities, ATL shall be charged with the relevant
expenses.

liability shall be limited to the foregoing obligation, and FINC and its
sub-contractors and suppliers shall have no liability whatsoever for damages in
any way deriving from or consequential to the foregoing defects or connected
with deviations or with the repair and replacement processes; likewise is

other cause not included in the foregoing guarantee obligation, which covers
solely repair and/or replacement.

    FINC
shall not be liable for defects or deviations due to normal wear and tear of the
materials and for any damage whatsoever due to use of the Ship, to accidents
occurred with the Ship moored and/or at sea, or to fires, mismanagement or
negligence in the use of the Ship by ATL or by persons which, at the time of the
damage, were in possession of or governing the Ship, and FINC will not bear any
responsibility for repair and/or replacement consequent to the above
