SECTION 3. ADMINISTRATION

     The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. A majority of the Committee shall constitute
a quorum, and the acts of a majority of the members of the Committee who are present at any meeting
thereof at which a quorum is present, or acts unanimously approved by the members of the Committee

the Committee, in its sole discretion, may delegate any or all of its powers and duties under the
Plan, including the power to grant Awards under the Plan, to the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, subject to such limitations on such delegated powers and duties as the Committee may
impose, if any. Upon any such delegation all references in the Plan to the “Committee,” other than
in Section 8, shall be deemed to include the Chief Executive Officer; provided, however, that such
delegation shall not limit the Chief Executive Officer’s right to receive Awards under the Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer may not grant Awards to, or take any
action with respect to any Award previously granted to, himself or herself or to any other person
who would be subject to Rule 16b-3 or who is a member of the Board.

     Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law, and in addition to other express powers
and authorizations conferred on the Committee by the Plan, the Committee shall have full power and
authority to: (i) designate Participants; (ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted
to a Participant; (iii) determine the number of shares to be covered by Awards; (iv) determine the
terms and conditions of any Award; (v) determine whether, to what extent, and under what
circumstances Awards may be settled, exercised, canceled, or forfeited; (vi) interpret and
administer the Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to an Award made under the Plan; (vii)
establish, amend, suspend, or waive such rules and regulations and

4

 

appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; and (viii) make
any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable
for the administration of the Plan. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all
designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to the
Plan or any Award shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and
shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all Persons, including the Company, any Affiliate of
the Company, any Participant, and any beneficiary of any Award.

SECTION 4. SHARES

     (a) Limits on Shares Deliverable

     Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c), the number of shares of Common Stock
available for delivery under the Plan is 1,000,000. There shall not be any limitation on the
number of Awards that may be granted and paid in cash. If any Award is forfeited or otherwise
terminates or is canceled without the delivery of shares, then the shares covered by such Award, to
the extent of such forfeiture, termination, or cancellation, shall again be shares with respect to
which Awards may be granted.

     (b) Sources of Shares Deliverable Under Awards

     Any shares of Common Stock delivered pursuant to an Award shall consist, in whole or in part,
of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or shares of Common Stock acquired in the open
market, from any Affiliate or any other Person, or any combination of the foregoing.

     (c) Adjustments

     In the event any distribution (other than a normal cash dividend), recapitalization, split,
reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase,
or exchange of shares of Common Stock or other similar transaction or event results in (i) the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, or any securities exchanged therefor or received in their
place, being exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the Company or any other
company or (ii) new, different or additional securities of the Company or any other company being
received by the holders of shares of Common Stock, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it
may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (1) the number and type of securities with respect to
which Awards may be granted, (2) the number and type of securities subject to outstanding Awards,
and (3) the grant or exercise price with respect to any Award or, if deemed appropriate, make
provision for a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award; provided, that the number of
securities subject to any Award shall always be a whole number.

5

 

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash or property, or for labor or
services rendered, either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe
therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares
or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to, outstanding Awards. Also notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control shall not
be governed by this Section 4(c) but shall be governed by Section 7.

SECTION 5. ELIGIBILITY

     Any Employee, Consultant or Director shall be eligible to be designated a Participant and
receive an Award under the Plan.

SECTION 6. AWARDS

     (a) Options

     The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants and Directors
to whom Options shall be granted, the number of shares to be covered by each Option, the purchase
price therefor and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of the Option,
including the following terms and conditions and such additional terms and conditions, as the
Committee shall determine, that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.

          (i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock purchasable under an Option
shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Option is granted and may be equal to or more
than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of the date of grant.

          (ii) Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the Restricted Period, i.e.,
the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part, which may include,
without limitation, accelerated vesting upon the achievement of specified performance goals, and
the method or methods by which payment of the exercise price with respect thereto may be made or
deemed to have been made, which may include, without limitation, (1) cash, (2) check acceptable to
the Company, (3) to the extent permitted by law, a “broker-assisted cashless exercise” through
procedures approved by the Company, (4) tendering shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant ,
other securities or other property, (5) having the Company withhold shares of Common Stock that
would otherwise be issued on exercise of the Option, or (6) any combination thereof, having a Fair
Market Value on the exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price.

          (iii) Termination of Service. The Committee shall establish and set forth in each Award
Agreement whether the Option shall continue to be exercisable, and the terms and conditions of such
exercise, after a Termination of Service, any of which provisions may be waived or modified by the
Committee at any time. If not so established in the Award Agreement, the Option shall be
exercisable according to the following terms and conditions, which may be waived or modified by the
Committee at any time:

6

 

               (A) Any portion of an Option that is not vested and exercisable on the date of a Participant’s
Termination of Service shall expire on such date.

               (B) Any portion of an Option that is vested and exercisable on the date of a Participant’s
Termination of Service shall expire on the earliest to occur of

                    (1) if the Participant’s Termination of Service occurs for reasons other than Cause,
Retirement, Disability or death, the date that is three months after such Termination of Service;

                    (2) if the Participant’s Termination of Service occurs by reason of Retirement or Disability,
the five-year anniversary of such Termination of Service;

                    (3) if the Participant’s Termination of Service occurs by reason of death, the two-year
anniversary of such Termination of Service; and

                    (4) the last day of the maximum term of the Option (the “Option Expiration Date”).

               Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant dies after his or her Termination of Service
but while an Option is otherwise exercisable, the portion of the Option that is vested and
exercisable on the date of such Termination of Service shall expire upon the earlier to occur of
(y) the Option Expiration Date and (z) the two-year anniversary of the date of death, unless the
Committee determines otherwise.

               Also notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Participant’s Termination of Service occurs for
Cause, all Options granted to the Participant shall automatically expire upon first notification to
the Participant of such termination, unless the Committee determines otherwise. If a Participant’s
employment or service relationship with the Company is suspended pending an investigation of
whether the Participant shall be terminated for Cause, all the Participant’s rights under any
Option shall likewise be suspended during the period of investigation. If any facts that would
constitute termination for Cause are discovered after a Participant’s Termination of Service, any
Option then held by the Participant may be immediately terminated by the Committee, in its sole
discretion.

               (C) A Participant’s change in status from an employee to a consultant, advisor or independent
contractor or a change in status from a consultant, advisor or independent contractor to an
employee shall not be considered a Termination of Service for purposes of this Section 6(a)(iii).

     (b) Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

     The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants and Directors
to whom Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be granted, the number of shares of
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units to be granted to each such Participant, the duration of
the Restricted Period, the conditions under which the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units
may become vested or forfeited, which may include, without limitation, the accelerated vesting upon
the achievement of specified performance goals, and such other terms

7

 

and conditions as the Committee may establish with respect to such Awards, including whether
DERs are granted with respect to the Restricted Stock Units and whether SDRs are attached to the
Restricted Stock.

          (i) DERs. To the extent provided by the Committee, in its discretion, in the Award Agreement
at the time of grant, a grant of Restricted Stock Units may include a tandem DER grant, which may
provide that such DERs shall be paid directly to the Participant, be credited to a bookkeeping
account (with or without interest in the discretion of the Committee) subject to the same vesting
restrictions as the tandem Restricted Stock Unit Award, or be subject to such other provisions or
restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion.

          (ii) SDRs. To the extent provided by the Committee, in its discretion, in the Award Agreement
at the time of grant, a grant of Restricted Stock may provide that dividends made by the Company
with respect to the Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same forfeiture and other restrictions
as the Restricted Stock and, if restricted, such shall be held, without interest, until the
Restricted Stock vests or is forfeited with the SDR being paid or forfeited at the same time, as
the case may be. Absent such a restriction on the SDRs in the Award Agreement, SDRs shall be paid
to the holder of the Restricted Stock without restriction.

          (iii) Lapse of Restrictions.

               (A) Restricted Stock Units. Unless a different payment time is specified in the Award
Agreement, upon or as soon as reasonably practical following the vesting of each Restricted Stock
Unit, subject to the provisions of Section 9(b), the Participant shall be entitled to receive from
the Company one share of Common Stock or cash equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common
Stock, as determined by the Committee in its discretion.

               (B) Restricted Stock. Upon or as soon as reasonably practical following the vesting of each
share of Restricted Stock, subject to the provisions of Section 9(b), the Participant shall be
entitled to have the restrictions removed from his or her stock certificate or book entry so that
the Participant then holds an unrestricted share of Common Stock.

     (c) Stock Appreciation Rights

     The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants and Directors
to whom Stock Appreciation Rights shall be granted, the number of shares of Common Stock to be
covered by each grant, the base price thereof and the conditions and limitations applicable to the
exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right, including the following terms and conditions and such
additional terms and conditions, as the Committee shall determine, that are not inconsistent with
the provisions of the Plan.

          (i) Base Price. The base price per Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by the
Committee at the time the Stock Appreciation Right is granted and may be equal to or more than the
Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of the date of grant.

          (ii) Time of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the Restricted Period, i.e., the time or
times at which a Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised in whole or in part,

8

 

which may include, without limitation, accelerated vesting upon the achievement of specified
performance goals.

     (d) Other Stock or Cash-Based Awards

     Subject to the terms of the Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Committee deems
appropriate, the Committee may grant other incentives payable in cash or in shares of Common Stock
under the Plan.

     (e) General

          (i) Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together. Awards may, in the discretion of the
Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for any
other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other plan of the Company or any
Affiliate. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards or awards granted under
any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate may be granted either at the same time as or at a
different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards.

          (ii) Limits on Transfer of Awards.

               (A) Except as provided in (C) below or as provided in the Award Agreement, each Option and
Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable only by the Participant during the Participant’s
lifetime, or by the person to whom the Participant’s rights shall pass by will or by the applicable
laws of descent and distribution.

               (B) Except as provided in (C) below, no Award and no right under any such Award may be
assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a
Participant otherwise than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

               (C) To the extent specifically provided by the Committee with respect to an Option or Stock
Appreciation Right grant, an Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be transferred by a Participant
without consideration to immediate family members or related family trusts, limited partnerships or
similar entities or on such terms and conditions as the Committee may from time to time establish.

          (iii) Term of Awards. The term of each Award shall be for such period as may be determined by
the Committee.

          (iv) Stock Certificates/Book Entry. All certificates for shares of Common Stock or other
securities of the Company delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof
shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem
advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the SEC, any stock
exchange upon which such shares of Common Stock or other securities are then listed, and any
applicable federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any
such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. In lieu of delivering
certificates for shares of Common Stock, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, effect the
issuance of shares of Common Stock under the Plan in book entry.

9

 

          (v) Consideration for Grants. Awards may be granted for such consideration, including
services, as the Committee determines.

          (vi) Delivery of Shares of Common Stock or other Securities and Payment by Participant of
Consideration. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary,
delivery of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise or vesting of an Award may be deferred
for any period during which, in the good faith determination of the Committee, the Company is not
reasonably able to obtain shares of Common Stock to deliver pursuant to such Award without
violating the rules or regulations of any applicable law or securities exchange. No shares of
Common Stock or other securities shall be delivered pursuant to any Award until payment in full of
any amount required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement (including,
without limitation, any exercise price or tax withholding) is received by the Company.

SECTION 7. CHANGE OF CONTROL

     (a) Effect of a Change of Control

     Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, unless the Committee shall
determine otherwise at the time of grant with respect to a particular Award, in the event of a
Change of Control:

          (i) All outstanding Awards shall become fully and immediately vested and exercisable, and all
applicable deferral and restriction limitations shall lapse immediately prior to the Change of
Control, unless such Awards are converted, assumed, or replaced by the Successor Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, the Committee,
in its sole discretion, may instead provide that a Participant’s outstanding Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights shall terminate upon consummation of such Change of Control and that each such
Participant shall receive, in exchange therefor, a cash payment equal to the amount (if any) by
which (a) the Acquisition Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such
outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (whether or not then exercisable) exceeds (b) the
aggregate exercise price for such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.

          (ii) For the purposes of this Section 7(a), an Award shall be considered converted, assumed or
replaced by the Successor Company if following the Change of Control the option or right confers
the right to purchase or receive, for each share of Common Stock subject to the Award immediately
prior to the Change of Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or
property) received in the Change of Control by holders of Common Stock for each share of Common
Stock held on the effective date of the Change of Control (and if holders were offered a choice of
consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change of
Control is not solely equity of the Successor Company, the Committee may, with the consent of the
Successor Company, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option or
the vesting of the right, for each share of Common Stock subject thereto, to be solely equity of
the Successor Company substantially equal in fair market value to the per share consideration
received by holders of Common Stock in the Change of Control. The determination of such
substantial equality of

10

 

value of consideration shall be made by the Committee and its determination shall be
conclusive and binding.

     (b) Change of Control Cash-Out

     Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, during the 60-day period from and after a
Change of Control (the “Exercise Period”), if the Committee shall so determine at, or at any time
after, the time of grant, a Participant holding an Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall have
the right, whether or not the Option or Stock Appreciation Right is fully exercisable and in lieu
of the payment of the purchase price for the shares being purchased under the Option, and by giving
notice to the Company, to elect to surrender all or part of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right
to the Company and to receive cash, within 30 days of such notice, in an amount equal to the amount
by which the Acquisition Price per share on the date of such election shall exceed the exercise
price per share under the Option or Stock Appreciation Right multiplied by the number of shares
granted under the Option or Stock Appreciation Right as to which the right granted under this
Section 7(b) shall have been exercised.

     (c) Acceleration and Exercise Following a Change of Control

     If following a Change of Control, a Participant’s employment is subsequently terminated
without Cause or for Good Reason within 24 months of the Change of Control, any such Awards that
remain unvested shall become fully and immediately vested and exercisable upon the date of the
Participant’s termination, all applicable deferral and restriction limitations shall lapse, and an
Award that is an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right shall remain exercisable until the later of
the date five years after the date of such termination and the date the Award would have expired by
its terms if the Participant’s employment had not been terminated.

SECTION 8. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

     Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law:

     (a) Amendments To The Plan

     Except as required by the rules of the principal securities exchange on which the Common Stock
is traded, the Board or the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan
in any manner, including increasing the number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards under
the Plan, without the consent of any stockholder, Participant, other holder or beneficiary of an
Award, or other Person.

     (b) Amendments To Awards

     The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter any Award
theretofore granted, provided no change, other than pursuant to Section 8(c), in any Award shall
materially reduce the benefit to Participant without the consent of such Participant.

11

 

	(c)	 	Adjustment of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring
Events

     The Committee is hereby authorized to make unilateral adjustments in the terms and conditions
of, and the criteria included in, Awards theretofore granted in recognition of unusual or
nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 4(c) of the
Plan) affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company, or of changes in applicable
laws, regulations, or accounting principles.

SECTION 9. GENERAL PROVISIONS

     (a) No Rights to Award

     No Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no
obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants. The terms and conditions of Awards need
not be the same with respect to each recipient.

     (b) Tax Withholding

     The Company or any Affiliate is authorized to withhold from any Award, from any payment due or
transfer made under any Award or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the
amount (in cash, shares of Common Stock, other securities, shares of Common Stock that would
otherwise be issued pursuant to such Award or other property) of any applicable taxes payable in
respect of the grant of an Award, its exercise, the lapse of restrictions thereon, or any payment
or transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in
the opinion of the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations for the payment of such taxes.

     (c) No Right to Employment or Services

     The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained
in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate, to continue as a Consultant, or to remain on the
Board, as applicable. Further, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant
from employment or terminate a consulting relationship, free from any liability or any claim under
the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, any Award Agreement or other agreement.

     (d) Governing Law

     The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to
the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands
without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

     (e) Severability

     If any provision of the Plan or any award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal,
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or
any award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or
deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or

12

 

deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent
of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or award
and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

     (f) Other Laws

     The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any shares of Common Stock or other
consideration under an Award if, in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or
transfer of such shares of Common Stock or such other consideration might violate any applicable
law or regulation, the rules of the principal securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then
traded, or entitle the Company or an Affiliate to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the
Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Company by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary
in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant
Participant, holder or beneficiary.

     Any Award granted pursuant to the Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Section
409A of the Code, including any applicable regulations and guidance issued thereunder, and
including transition guidance, to the extent Section 409A of the Code is applicable thereto, and
the terms of the Plan and any Award granted under the Plan shall be interpreted, operated and
administered in a manner consistent with this intention to the extent the Committee deems necessary
or advisable to comply with Section 409A of the Code and any official guidance issued thereunder.
Any payment or distribution that is to be made to a Participant who is a “specified employee” of
the Company within the meaning of that term under Section 409A of the Code and as determined by the
Committee, on account of a “separation from service” within the meaning of that term under Section
409A of the Code, may not be made before the date which is six months after the date of such
“separation from service,” unless the payment or distribution is exempt from the application of
Section 409A of the Code by reason of the short-term deferral exemption or otherwise.
Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, the Committee, to the extent it deems necessary or
advisable in its sole discretion, reserves the right, but shall not be required, to unilaterally
amend or modify the Plan and any Award granted under the Plan so that the Award qualifies for
exemption from or complies with Section 409A of the Code; provided, however, that the Committee
makes no representations that Awards granted under the Plan shall be exempt from or comply with
Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from
applying to Awards granted under the Plan.

     (g) No Trust Or Fund Created

     Neither the Plan nor any award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund
of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any participating Affiliate and a
Participant or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive
payments from the Company or any participating Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be
no greater than the right of any general unsecured creditor of the Company or any participating
Affiliate.

     (h) No Fractional Shares

     No fractional shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the
Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or

13

 

transferred in lieu of any fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights
thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated.

     (i) Headings

     Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to
facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the
construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.

     (j) Facility Payment

     Any amounts payable hereunder to any person under legal disability or who, in the judgment of
the Committee, is unable to properly manage his financial affairs, may be paid to the legal
representative of such person, or may be applied for the benefit of such person in any manner which
the Committee may select, and the Company and its Affiliates shall be relieved of any further
liability for payment of such amounts.

     (k) Participation By Affiliates

     In making Awards to Consultants and Employees employed by an entity other than by the Company,
the Committee shall be acting on behalf of the Affiliate or such other entity, and to the extent
the Company has an obligation to reimburse the Affiliate or such other entity for compensation paid
to Consultants and Employees for services rendered for the benefit of the Company, such payments or
reimbursement payments may be made by the Company directly to the Affiliate or such other entity,
and, if made to the Company, shall be received by the Company as agent for the Affiliate or such
other agency.

     (l) Gender And Number

     Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, the plural shall include the
singular and the singular shall include the plural.

SECTION 10. TERM OF THE PLAN

     The Plan shall be effective on the date of its approval by the Board and shall continue until
the earlier of (a) the date terminated by the Board and (b) the date shares of Common Stock are no
longer available for the payment of Awards under the Plan. However, unless otherwise expressly
provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award granted prior to such
termination, and the authority of the Board or the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend,
discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under such Award,
shall extend beyond such termination date.

	 	2.1.1	 	Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each of the Lenders
agrees to make available to the Borrowers its Commitment of a revolving credit
in an aggregate amount not exceeding the Initial Maximum Amount at any one
time, Tranche A to be made available to the A Borrowers and Tranche B to be
made available to the B Borrowers PROVIDED THAT the Borrowers may elect at any
time whilst no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unremedied or
unwaived (by serving a

20

 

	 	 	 	Collateral Transfer Notice) for a B Borrower to become an A Borrower and for
the Vessel owned by it to become an A Vessel on a Collateral Transfer Date
by providing not less than five (5) days notice to the Agent and fulfilling
the conditions precedent set out in Schedule 3 Part III, at which Collateral
Transfer Date (subject to the Agent agreeing the calculation of the
Collateral Transfer Amount specified in the Collateral Transfer Notice such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld) the relevant Collateral Transfer
Amount shall be added to the Tranche A Indebtedness (and the Tranche A
Maximum Amount shall be increased by an amount equal to the Tranche B
Maximum Amount multiplied by the percentage shown as the “Relevant Share” of
the Vessel in question) and deducted from the amount of the Tranche B
Indebtedness (and the Tranche B Maximum Amount shall be reduced by an amount
equal to the Tranche B Maximum Amount multiplied by the percentage shown as

Collateral Transfer Date, the Agent shall circulate to each of the parties
amended Schedules 1, 2 and 8 to reflect the Collateral Transfer. Save in
the case of manifest error, such amended schedules shall be binding on all
the parties with effect from the relevant Collateral Transfer Date.
	 
	 	2.1.2	 	The Borrowers shall have the right (provided that no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing unremedied or unwaived) to issue one or
more Upsize Notices requesting an Upsize Amount and specifying the Upsize

and/or Tranche B, the relevant Additional Borrowers and the Additional Vessels
to be charged as security, following receipt of which Upsize Notice the Lenders

pro rata to their Commitments in the Initial Maximum Amount. The availability
of the Upsize Amount shall be subject (inter alia) to the participating Lenders
agreeing to the proposed fee payable, each as specified in the relevant Upsize
Notice. If any Lender does not take up this option within twenty (20) days of
receipt of an Upsize Notice, its portion of the Upsize Amount shall be made
available to be taken up by the participating Lenders for a further ten (10)
days. If at the end of such ten (10) day period not all of the Upsize

21

 

	 	 	 	Amount has been subscribed, then the Upsize Amount shall be reduced to the
amount subscribed, and the reduced Upsize Amount shall take effect from the
Upsize Trigger Date. Following each Upsize Trigger Date, the participating
Lenders agree to make their Commitments in the Maximum Amount as increased
by the relevant Upsize Amount available to the Borrowers. The aggregate
amount of the Facility following each Upsize Trigger Date shall not exceed
the Maximum Amount. The Upsize Amount may be used for the same purposes as
the initial Facility. At or around each Upsize Trigger Date, the Agent
shall circulate to each of the parties an amended Schedule 8 to reflect the
increased Maximum Amount, which shall be calculated on the same basis as the
initial Schedule 8, with a balloon payment of forty five per cent (45%), and

error, such amended Schedules shall be binding on all the parties with
effect from the relevant Upsize Trigger Date.

under the Finance Documents does not affect the obligations of any other party to the

Finance Party under the Finance Documents.
	 
	 	2.3	 	Purposes The Borrowers shall apply the Facility for the purposes referred to

Facility available shall be reduced to zero. Subject to the proviso hereto,
the mandatory reductions in the amount of the Facility available for drawing
required pursuant to this Clause will be made in the amounts and at the times
specified whether or not the Maximum Amount is reduced pursuant to Clause
3.4.2, Clause 3.4.3, Clause 3.4.4, Clause 6.1 or Clause 7.9. PROVIDED ALWAYS
THAT any reductions pursuant to Clause 3.4.2 (voluntary reductions), Clause
3.4.3 (sale) or Clause 3.4.4 (Total Loss) shall be applied to the remaining
mandatory reductions hereunder on a pro rata basis.
	 
	 	3.4.2	 	The Borrowers may voluntarily cancel the Maximum Amount in
whole or in part (such cancellation to be against the Tranches in the
proportions specified by the Borrowers) in an amount of not less than five
million Dollars ($5,000,000) such amount to be in integral multiples of one
million Dollars ($1,000,000) (or as otherwise may be agreed by the

24

 

	 	 	 	Agent), provided that they have first given to the Agent not fewer than five
(5) Business Days’ prior written notice expiring on a Business Day (the
“Cancellation Date”) of their desire to reduce the Maximum Amount and
notification of which Tranche the cancellation is to be applied against;
such notice once received by the Agent shall be irrevocable and shall oblige
the Borrowers to make payment of all interest and Commitment Commission
accrued on the amount so cancelled up to and including the Cancellation Date
together with any Break Costs in respect of such cancelled amount if the
Cancellation Date is not the final day of an Interest Period. Any such
reduction in the Maximum Amount shall not be reversed. If, as a result of
any such cancellation, the Tranche A Indebtedness or the Tranche B
Indebtedness would exceed the relevant Tranche Maximum Amount, the Borrowers
shall, on the Cancellation Date, prepay such amount of Tranche A or Tranche
B as will ensure that the Tranche A Indebtedness and/or the Tranche B
Indebtedness are not greater than the respective Tranche Maximum Amounts.
	 
	 	3.4.3	 	In the event of a sale or disposal of a Vessel or the Agent
having received not less than 5 Business Days’ notice from the Borrowers
requesting that the security relating to a Vessel be released and discharged (a
“Released Vessel”), the Maximum Amount shall be reduced by the Relevant
Reduction Amount applicable to that Vessel, such reduction to be applied on a
pro rata basis against the Initial Reduction Amounts as reduced from time to
time in accordance with this clause 3.4. Such reduction shall be made thirty
(30) days after a sale or disposal of such Vessel and in the case of a Released
Vessel thirty (30) days after the date proposed by the Borrowers for release
and discharge of the security relating to that Vessel. If the Vessel or
Released Vessel in question is replaced within thirty (30) days of the sale,
disposal or release with a Replacement Vessel, and in such case of replacement
any security held by the Agent (whether directly or indirectly) from the
relevant Owner and over such Vessel or Released Vessel is reconstituted
immediately after the sale to the new owner or after the release and discharge
of security (as the case may be) or over the Replacement Vessel in
substantially identical form, and the Agent obtains favourable legal opinions
(on substantially the same basis as those

25

 

	 	 	 	obtained pursuant to paragraph 3 of Part 1 A and Part 1 B of Schedule 3) in
respect of such reconstituted security, the Maximum Amount shall be
maintained at the amount it was prior to the application of the Relevant
Reduction Amount (as reduced in the meantime by any reductions under Clause
3.4.1), and in any event the Relevant Reduction Amount shall not be
available for drawing during such thirty (30) day period unless and until
the Agent confirms that the Maximum Amount is to be so maintained. If, as a
result of any reduction in the Maximum Amount pursuant to this Clause, the
Facility outstanding would exceed the Maximum Amount or the relevant Tranche
outstanding would exceed the relevant Tranche Maximum Amount, the Borrowers
shall, on the date of the sale, disposal or replacement, prepay such amount
of the Facility as will ensure that the Facility and Tranche outstanding are
not greater than the Maximum Amount and relevant Tranche Maximum Amount
respectively. Any such prepayment shall oblige the Borrowers to make
payment of all interest and Commitment Commission accrued on the amount so
reduced up to and including the date of reduction together with any Break
Costs in respect of such reduced amount if the date of such reduction is not
the final day of an Interest Period. Any such reduction in the Maximum
Amount and Tranche Maximum Amounts shall not be reversed save in accordance
with the provisions of this Clause 3.4.3.
	 
	 	3.4.4	 	In the event that any Vessel becomes a Total Loss, on the
earlier to occur of (a) the date of receipt of the proceeds of the Total Loss
and (b) the date falling one hundred and eighty (180) days after the occurrence
of the Total Loss (the “Total Loss Reduction Date”), the Maximum Amount shall
(subject to the proviso hereto) be reduced by the Relevant Reduction Amount in
respect of such Vessel. Any such reductions in the Maximum Amount shall not be
reversed. If, as a result of any reduction in the Maximum Amount pursuant to
this Clause, the Facility outstanding would exceed the Maximum Amount or the
relevant Tranche outstanding would exceed the relevant Tranche Maximum Amount,
the Borrowers shall, on the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the
relevant Owner receives the proceeds of such Total Loss and (ii) the one
hundred and eightieth day after the date of such Total Loss occurring, prepay
such amount of the

26

 

	 	 	 	Facility and Tranche as will ensure that the Facility and relevant Tranche
outstanding is equal to or less than the Maximum Amount and relevant Tranche
Maximum Amount respectively. Any such prepayment shall not be reborrowed
and Clause 8.3 shall apply to any such prepayment. PROVIDED ALWAYS that if
there is an investment in a Replacement Vessel on or prior to the Total Loss
Reduction Date, and a guarantee from the owner of the Replacement Vessel (in
such form as the Majority Lenders may require at that time) and security
over such Replacement Vessel acceptable to the Majority Lenders in their
absolute discretion is also executed and delivered either prior to or on the
Total Loss Reduction Date, then the reduction in the Maximum Amount and
Tranche Maximum Amounts shall not apply.
	 
	 	3.4.5	 	In the event of a Collateral Transfer of a Tranche B Vessel
into a Tranche A Vessel on a Collateral Transfer Date, the Tranche A Maximum
Amount shall be increased and the Tranche B Maximum Amount shall be decreased
in accordance with the terms of Clause 2.1.1.
	 
	 	3.4.6	 	To the extent that repayments or prepayments made by the
Borrowers to the Agent in accordance with this Agreement reduce the Facility
and Tranches outstanding to less than the Maximum Amount and the Tranche
Maximum Amounts respectively, the Borrowers shall again be entitled to make
Drawings up to the Commitment Termination Date in accordance with and subject
to the terms of this Agreement. Any part of the Facility which is undrawn on
the Commitment Termination Date shall be automatically cancelled.
	 
	 	3.4.7	 	Simultaneously with each reduction of the Maximum Amount in
accordance with Clause 3.4.1, Clause 3.4.2, Clause 3.4.3 or Clause 3.4.4 (as
the case may be), the Commitment of each Lender will reduce or increase (as the
case may be) so that the Commitments of the Lenders in respect of the amended
Maximum Amount and Tranche Maximum Amounts remain in accordance with their
respective Proportionate Shares. In the case of any increase in the Maximum
Amount in accordance with Clause 2.1.2, the Commitment of each Lender will be
in accordance with

27

 

	 	 	 	the revised Schedule 1 circulated by the Agent pursuant to Clause 2.1.2 at
or about the relevant Upsize Trigger Date.

	 	3.5	 	Termination Date No Lender shall be under any obligation to advance all or any
part of its Commitment after the Commitment Termination Date.
	 
	 	3.6	 	Conditions subsequent The Borrowers undertake to deliver or to cause to be
delivered to the Agent:

	 	3.6.1	 	on, or as soon as practicable after, the First Drawdown Date
the additional documents and other evidence listed in Part II A or Part II B
(as the case may be) of Schedule 3; and
	 
	 	3.6.2	 	on, or as soon as practicable after, the Collateral Transfer
Date the additional documents and other evidence listed in Part IV of Schedule
3;
	 
	 	3.6.3	 	on, or as soon as practicable after, an Upsize Trigger Date,
the additional documents and other evidence listed in Part VI of Schedule 3;
and
	 
	 	3.6.4	 	on, or as soon as practicable after, the Tranche B Step Up
Date, the additional documents and other evidence listed in Part VIII of
Schedule 3.

	 	3.7	 	No Waiver If the Lenders in their sole discretion agree to advance a Drawing
to the Borrowers before all of the documents and evidence required by Clause 3.1 have
been delivered to or to the order of the Agent, the Borrowers undertake to deliver all
outstanding documents and evidence to or to the order of the Agent no later than the
date specified by the Agent.
	 
	 	 	 	The advance of all or any part of the Facility under this Clause 3.7 shall not be
taken as a waiver of the Lenders’ right to require production of all the documents
and evidence required by Clause 3.1.
	 
	 	3.8	 	Form and content All documents and evidence delivered to the Agent under this
Clause 3 shall:

	 	3.8.1	 	be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent; and
	 
	 	3.8.2	 	if reasonably required by the Agent, be certified, notarised,
legalised or attested in a manner acceptable to the Agent.

28

 

	4	 	Advance

	 	4.1	 	Drawdown Request The A Borrowers may request a Drawing in respect of Tranche
A and the B Borrowers may request a Drawing in respect of Tranche B, in each case to be
advanced on any Business Day prior to the Commitment Termination Date, by delivering to
the Agent a duly completed Drawdown Notice not more than ten (10) and not fewer than
three (3) Business Days before the proposed Drawdown Date save in respect of a Same Day
Drawing.
	 
	 	4.2	 	Lenders’ participation Subject to Clauses 2 and 3, the Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the receipt of a Drawdown Notice, following which each Lender
shall advance its Proportionate Share of the relevant Drawing to the Borrowers through
the Agent on the relevant Drawdown Date.

	5	 	Repayment

	 	5.1	 	Repayment of each Drawing The Borrowers agree to repay each Drawing to the
Agent for the account of the Lenders on the last day of the Interest Period in respect
of that Drawing unless the Borrowers select a further Interest Period for that Drawing
in accordance with Clause 7, provided that the Borrowers shall not be permitted to
select such a further Interest Period if a Default has occurred and shall then be
obliged to repay such Drawing on the last day of its then current Interest Period. The
Borrowers shall on the Maturity Date repay to the Agent as agent for the Lenders all
Facility Outstandings.
	 
	 	5.2	 	Reborrowing Amounts of the Facility which are repaid or prepaid shall be
available for reborrowing in accordance with Clause 3 prior to the Commitment
Termination Date.

	6	 	Prepayment

	 	6.1	 	Illegality If it becomes unlawful in any jurisdiction for a Lender to fund or
maintain its Commitment as contemplated by this Agreement or to fund or maintain the
Facility:

	 	6.1.1	 	that Lender shall promptly notify the Agent of that event;
	 
	 	6.1.2	 	upon the Agent notifying the Borrowers, the Commitment of that
Lender (to the extent not already advanced) will be immediately cancelled; and

29

 

	 	6.1.3	 	the Borrowers shall repay that Lender’s Proportionate Share of
any Drawing on the last day of its current Interest Period or, if earlier, the
date specified by that Lender in the notice delivered to the Agent and notified
by the Agent to the Borrowers (being no earlier than the last day of any
applicable grace period permitted by law) and the Maximum Amount shall be
reduced by the amount of that Lender’s Commitment in the Facility. Prior to
the date on which repayment is required to be made under this Clause 6.1.3 the
affected Lender shall negotiate in good faith with the Borrowers to find an
alternative method or lending base in order to maintain the Facility.

	 	6.2	 	Voluntary prepayment of Facility The Borrowers may prepay the whole or any
part of a Drawing (but, if in part, being an amount that reduces that Drawing by a
minimum amount of five million Dollars ($5,000,000)) provided that they give the Agent
not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior notice.
	 
	 	6.3	 	Restrictions Any notice of prepayment given under this Clause 6 shall be
irrevocable and, unless a contrary indication appears in this Agreement, shall specify
the date or dates upon which the relevant prepayment is to be made and the amount of
that prepayment.
	 
	 	 	 	Any prepayment under this Agreement shall be made together with accrued interest on
the amount prepaid and, subject to any Break Costs, without premium or penalty.
	 
	 	 	 	If the Agent receives a notice under this Clause 6 it shall promptly forward a copy
of that notice to the Borrowers or the Lenders, as appropriate.
	 
	 	6.4	 	Mandatory Prepayment If at any time the Facility Outstandings shall exceed the
Maximum Amount or the amount outstanding under a Tranche shall exceed the relevant
Tranche Maximum Amount, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay to the Agent on behalf
of the Lenders such amounts as will ensure that the Facility Outstandings do not exceed
the Maximum Amount or the amount outstanding under a Tranche shall not exceed the
relevant Tranche Maximum Amount, and shall pay to the Lenders all interest accrued on
the amount prepaid up to and including the date on which such prepayment occurred.

30

 

	 	6.5	 	Master Agreement Simultaneously with any mandatory prepayment or cancellation
relating to Tranche A under this Clause 6 resulting from the sale or Total Loss of a
Tranche A Vessel (but not otherwise), any transaction carried out under the Master
Agreement relating to that part of Tranche A being prepaid or cancelled will be
terminated unless the A Borrowers and the Swap Provider otherwise agree, and the A
Borrowers will pay to the Swap Provider any sums payable under the Master Agreement
pursuant to that early termination.

	7	 	Interest

	 	7.1	 	Interest Periods The period during which each Drawing shall be outstanding
under this Agreement shall be an Interest Period of one, three or six months’ duration,
as selected by the Borrowers in the Drawdown Notice in respect of the Drawing in
question, or such other duration as may be agreed by the Agent (acting on the
instructions of all the Lenders). Not more than seven (7) one (1) month Interest
Periods in respect of a Tranche may be selected by the Borrowers in each twelve (12)
month period.
	 
	 	7.2	 	Beginning and end of Interest Periods The first Interest Period in respect of
each Drawing shall begin on the Drawdown Date of that Drawing and shall end on the last
day of the Interest Period selected in accordance with Clause 7.1. Any subsequent
Interest Period selected in respect of each Drawing shall commence on the day following
the last day of its previous Interest Period and shall end on the last day of its
current Interest Period selected in accordance with Clause 7.1.
	 
	 	7.3	 	Interest Periods to meet Maturity Date If an Interest Period for a Drawing
would otherwise expire after the Maturity Date, the Interest Period for that Drawing
shall expire on the Maturity Date.
	 
	 	7.4	 	Non-Business Days If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is
not a Business Day, that Interest Period will instead end on the next Business Day in
that calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).
	 
	 	7.5	 	Interest rate During each Interest Period interest shall accrue on the
relevant Drawing at the rate determined by the Agent to be

31

 

	 	(i)	 	the WSJ Prime Rate in the case of the first Interest Period for
a Same Day Drawing; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	in all other cases the aggregate of (a) the applicable Margin
for that Tranche, (b) LIBOR and (c) the Mandatory Cost, if applicable.

	 	7.6	 	Failure to select Interest Period If the Borrowers at any time fail to select
or agree an Interest Period in accordance with Clause 7.1, the Interest Period
applicable shall be of three (3) months duration.
	 
	 	7.7	 	Accrual and payment of interest Interest shall accrue from day to day, shall
be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed (or,
in any circumstance where market practice differs, in accordance with the prevailing
market practice) and shall be paid by the Borrowers to the Agent for the account of the
Lenders on the last day of each Interest Period and, if the Interest Period is longer
than three months, on the dates falling at three monthly intervals after the first day
of that Interest Period.
	 
	 	7.8	 	Default interest If the Borrowers fail to pay any amount payable by them
under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount
from the due date, subject to any applicable grace period, up to the date of actual
payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which is one point five per cent
(1.5%) higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had,
during the period of non-payment, constituted a Drawing for successive Interest
Periods, each selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under
this Clause 7.8 shall be immediately payable by the Borrowers on demand by the Agent.
If unpaid, any such interest will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of
each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due
and payable.
	 
	 	7.9	 	Changes in market circumstances If at any time the Agent determines (which
determination shall be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrowers) that, by
reason of changes affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not
exist for determining the rate of interest on a Drawing for any Interest Period:

32

 

	 	7.9.1	 	the Agent shall give notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers
of the occurrence of such event; and
	 
	 	7.9.2	 	the rate of interest on each Lender’s Commitment in the
relevant Drawing for that Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which is
the sum of:

	 	(a)	 	the relevant Margin; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	the rate notified to the Agent by that Lender
as soon as practicable, and in any event before interest is due to be
paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as
a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its
Commitment in the relevant Drawing from whatever source it may
reasonably select; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	the Mandatory Cost, if any, applicable to that
Lender’s Commitment,

	    PROVIDED THAT if the resulting rate of interest on any Commitment is not acceptable
to the Borrowers:

	 	7.9.3	 	the Agent on behalf of the Lenders will negotiate with the
Borrowers in good faith with a view to modifying this Agreement to provide a
substitute basis for determining the rate of interest which is financially a
substantial equivalent to the basis provided for in this Agreement;
	 
	 	7.9.4	 	any substitute basis agreed pursuant to Clause 7.9.3 shall be
binding on all the parties to this Agreement and shall apply to all Commitments
in the relevant Drawing; and
	 
	 	7.9.5	 	if, within thirty (30) days of the giving of the notice
referred to in Clause 7.9.1, the Borrowers and the Agent fail to agree in
writing on a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest in respect
of the relevant Drawing, the relevant Lender shall cease to be obliged to
advance its Proportionate Share of that Drawing, but, if it has already been
advanced, the Borrowers will immediately prepay that Proportionate Share of
that Drawing, together with any Break Costs, and the Maximum Amount shall

33

 

	 	 	 	be reduced by the amount of that Lender’s Proportionate Share of that
Drawing.
	 
	 	7.10	 	Determinations conclusive The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers of
the determination of a rate of interest under this Clause 7 and each such determination
shall (save in the case of manifest error) be final and conclusive.

	8	 	Indemnities

	 	8.1	 	Transaction expenses The Borrowers will, within fourteen (14) days of the
Agent’s written demand, pay the Agent (for the account of the Finance Parties) the
amount of all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses (including legal fees and
Value Added Tax or any similar or replacement tax if applicable) reasonably incurred by
the Finance Parties or any of them in connection with:

	 	8.1.1	 	the negotiation, preparation, printing, execution and
registration of the Finance Documents (whether or not any Finance Document is
actually executed or registered and whether or not a Drawing is advanced);
	 
	 	8.1.2	 	any amendment, addendum or supplement to any Finance Document
(whether or not completed); and
	 
	 	8.1.3	 	any other document which may at any time be required by a
Finance Party to give effect to any Finance Document or which a Finance Party
is entitled to call for or obtain under any Finance Document.

	 	8.2	 	Funding costs The Borrowers shall indemnify each Finance Party, by payment to
the Agent (for the account of that Finance Party) on the Agent’s written demand,
against all losses and costs incurred or sustained by that Finance Party if, for any
reason due to a default or other action by the Borrowers, a Drawing is not advanced to
the Borrowers after the relevant Drawdown Notice has been given to the Agent, or is
advanced on a date other than that requested in the Drawdown Notice.
	 
	 	8.3	 	Break Costs The Borrowers shall indemnify each Finance Party, by payment to
the Agent (for the account of that Finance Party) on the Agent’s written demand,
against all documented costs, losses, premiums or penalties incurred by that Finance
Party as a result of its receiving any prepayment of all or any part of a

34

 

	 	 	 	Drawing (whether pursuant to Clause 6 or otherwise) on a day other than the last day
of an Interest Period for that Drawing, or any other payment under or in relation to
the Finance Documents on a day other than the due date for payment of the sum in
question, including (without limitation) any losses or costs incurred in liquidating
or re-employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain all or
any part of a Drawing, and any liabilities, expenses or losses incurred by that
Finance Party in terminating or reversing, or otherwise in connection with, any
interest rate and/or currency swap, transaction or arrangement entered into by that
Finance Party with any member of either Group to hedge any exposure arising under
this Agreement, or in terminating or reversing, or otherwise in connection with, any
open position arising under this Agreement.
	 
	 	8.4	 	Currency indemnity In the event of a Finance Party receiving or recovering
any amount payable under a Finance Document in a currency other than the Currency of
Account, and if the amount received or recovered is insufficient when converted into
the Currency of Account at the date of receipt to satisfy in full the amount due, the
Borrowers shall, on the Agent’s written demand, pay to the Agent for the account of the
relevant Finance Party such further amount in the Currency of Account as is sufficient
to satisfy in full the amount due and that further amount shall be due to the Agent on
behalf of the relevant Finance Party as a separate debt under this Agreement.
	 
	 	8.5	 	Increased costs (subject to Clause 8.6) If, by reason of the introduction of
any law, or any change in any law, or any change in the interpretation or
administration of any law, or compliance with any request or requirement from any
central bank or any fiscal, monetary or other authority occurring after the date of
this Agreement:

	 	8.5.1	 	a Finance Party (or the Holding Company of a Finance Party)
shall be subject to any Tax with respect to payment of all or any part of the
Indebtedness (other than Tax on overall net income); or
	 
	 	8.5.2	 	the basis of Taxation of payments to a Finance Party in
respect of all or any part of the Indebtedness shall be changed; or

35

 

	 	8.5.3	 	any reserve requirements shall be imposed, modified or deemed
applicable against assets held by or deposits in or for the account of or loans
by any branch of a Finance Party; or
	 
	 	8.5.4	 	the manner in which a Finance Party allocates capital
resources to its obligations under this Agreement or any ratio (whether cash,
capital adequacy, liquidity or otherwise) which a Finance Party is required or
requested to maintain shall be affected; or
	 
	 	8.5.5	 	there is imposed on a Finance Party (or on the Holding Company
of a Finance Party) any other condition in relation to the Indebtedness or the
Finance Documents;

	 	 	 	and the result of any of the above shall be to increase the cost to a Finance Party
(or to the Holding Company of a Finance Party) of that Finance Party making or
maintaining its Commitment, or to cause a Finance Party to suffer (in its opinion) a
material reduction in the rate of return on its overall capital below the level
which it reasonably anticipated at the date of this Agreement and which it would
have been able to achieve but for its entering into this Agreement and/or performing
its obligations under this Agreement, then, subject to Clause 8.6, the Finance Party
affected shall notify the Agent and the Borrowers shall from time to time pay to the
Agent on demand for the account of that Finance Party the amount which shall
compensate that Finance Party (or the relevant Holding Company) for such additional
cost or reduced return. A certificate signed by an authorised signatory of that
Finance Party setting out the amount of that payment and the basis of its
calculation shall be submitted to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive evidence of
such amount save for manifest error or on any question of law.
	 
	 	8.6	 	Exceptions to increased costs Clause 8.5 does not apply to the extent any
additional cost or reduced return referred to in that Clause is:

	 	8.6.1	 	compensated for by a payment made under Clause 8.10; or
	 
	 	8.6.2	 	compensated for by a payment made under Clause 17.3; or
	 
	 	8.6.3	 	compensated for by the payment of the Mandatory Cost; or

36

 

	 	8.6.4	 	attributable to the wilful breach by the relevant Finance
Party (or the Holding Company of that Finance Party) of any law or regulation.

	 	8.7	 	Events of Default The Borrowers shall indemnify each Finance Party from time
to time, by payment to the Agent (for the account of that Finance Party) on the Agent’s
written demand, against all losses and costs incurred or sustained by that Finance
Party as a consequence of any Event of Default.
	 
	 	8.8	 	Enforcement costs The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent (for the account of
each Finance Party) on the Agent’s written demand the amount of all costs and expenses
(including legal fees) incurred by a Finance Party in connection with the enforcement
of, or the preservation of any rights under, any Finance Document including (without
limitation) any losses, costs and expenses which that Finance Party may from time to
time sustain, incur or become liable for by reason of that Finance Party being
mortgagee of a Vessel and/or a lender to the Borrowers, or by reason of that Finance
Party being deemed by any court or authority to be an operator or controller, or in any
way concerned in the operation or control, of a Vessel. No such indemnity will be
given where any such loss or cost has occurred due to gross negligence or wilful
misconduct on the part of that Finance Party; however, this shall not affect the right
of any other Finance Party to receive such indemnity.
	 
	 	8.9	 	Other costs The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent (for the account of each
Finance Party) on the Agent’s written demand the amount of all sums which a Finance
Party may pay or become actually or contingently liable for on account of the Borrowers
in connection with a Vessel (whether alone or jointly or jointly and severally with any
other person) including (without limitation) all sums which that Finance Party may pay
or guarantees which it may give in respect of the Insurances, any expenses incurred by
that Finance Party in connection with the maintenance or repair of a Vessel or in
discharging any lien, bond or other claim relating in any way to a Vessel, and any sums
which that Finance Party may pay or guarantees which it may give to procure the release
of a Vessel from arrest or detention.
	 
	 	8.10	 	Taxes The Borrowers shall pay all Taxes to which all or any part of the
Indebtedness or any Finance Document may be at any time subject (other than Tax on a
Finance Party’s overall net income) and shall indemnify the Finance

37

 

	 	 	 	Parties, by payment to the Agent (for the account of the Finance Parties) on the
Agent’s written demand, against all liabilities, costs, claims and expenses
resulting from any omission to pay or delay in paying any such Taxes.

	9	 	Fees

	 	9.1	 	Commitment fee The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent (for the account of the
Lenders in proportion to their Commitments) a fee computed at the rate of thirty per
cent (30%) of the applicable Margin on the undrawn and uncancelled amount of the

Termination Date. The accrued commitment fee is payable on the last day of each fiscal
quarter following the 26 September 2007 and on the Commitment Termination Date.

Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Security Trustee or cause to be executed and
delivered to the Security Trustee the following documents (other than those relating to
m.v. “Hugli Spirit” or to Hugli which are to be provided on or prior to the Tranche B
Step Up Date) in such forms and containing such terms and conditions as the Security

38

 

	 	10.1.3 (a)	 	an on demand guarantee and indemnity from Guarantor A in respect of the

	 	           (b)	 	an on demand guarantee and indemnity from

	 	10.2	 	Remittance of Earnings Immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
the Borrowers shall procure that all Earnings are paid to such account(s) as the Agent
shall from time to time specify by notice in writing to the Borrowers.

Security Trustee to apply all sums which either of them may receive:

	 	10.3.1	 	pursuant to a sale or other disposition of a Vessel or any right, title or
interest in the Vessel; or
	 
	 	10.3.2	 	by way of payment of any sum in respect of the Insurances, Earnings or
Requisition Compensation; or
	 
	 	10.3.3	 	otherwise arising under or in connection with any Security Document,

towards satisfaction, or by way of retention on account, of the Indebtedness as
follows:-

	 	(A)	 	in the case of any Security Document securing both Tranche A

relevant Security Party; or
	 
	 	13.1.17	 	Material Adverse Change At any time there shall occur a change in the
business or operations of a Security Party or a change in the financial
condition of any Security Party which, in the reasonable opinion of the
Majority Lenders, materially impairs such Security Party’s ability to discharge

which is now or which at any time during the Facility Period becomes necessary
to enable any of the Security Parties to comply with any of their obligations
in or pursuant to any of the Security Documents is revoked, withdrawn or

or
	 
	 	13.1.21	 	Curtailment of Business if the business of any of the Security Parties is
wholly or materially curtailed by any intervention by or under authority of any

assets of any of the Security Parties is seized, nationalised, expropriated or
compulsorily acquired by or under authority of any government or any Security
Party disposes or threatens to dispose of a substantial part of its business or
assets; or

56

 

	 	13.1.22	 	Challenge to Registration if the registration of any Vessel or any Mortgage

	14	 	Assignment and Sub-Participation

	 	14.1	 	Lenders’ rights Subject to the Borrowers’ consent (not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) a Lender may assign any of its rights under this Agreement or sell
participations in its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or transfer by
novation any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any other branch or
Affiliate of that Lender or (subject to a minimum assignment amount of five million
Dollars ($5,000,000)) to any other bank or financial institution or special purpose
vehicles wholly owned by a bank or financial institution, and may grant
sub-participations in all or any part of its Commitment. Any such

57

 

	 	 	 	assignment or transfer must include a pro rata share of that Lender’s Commitment in
respect of Tranche A and Tranche B.

	 	14.2	 	Borrowers’ co-operation The Borrowers will co-operate fully with a Lender in
connection with any assignment, transfer or sub-participation by that Lender; will
execute and procure the execution of such documents as that Lender may require in that

assignee, transferee or sub-participant (whether before or after any assignment,
transfer or sub-participation and whether or not any assignment, transfer or
sub-participation shall take place) all information relating to the Security Parties,
the Facility, the Relevant Documents and the Vessels which any Finance Party may in its
discretion consider necessary or desirable (subject to any duties of confidentiality
applicable to the Lenders generally). Additionally, (but subject to the same duties of
confidentiality), any Lender may disclose the size and term of the Facility and the
names of each Security Party to any investor or potential investor in a securitisation
whether of a true sale, synthetic or other nature (or similar transaction of broadly
equivalent economic effect) of that Lender’s rights and obligations under the Finance
Documents or to any ratings agency, professional adviser, financial institution or
other person for the same purpose.
	 
	 	14.3	 	Rights of assignee Any assignee of a Lender shall (unless limited by the
express terms of the assignment) take the full benefit of every provision of the
Finance Documents benefiting that Lender PROVIDED THAT an assignment will only be
effective on notification by the Agent to that Lender and the assignee that the Agent
is satisfied it has complied with all necessary “Know your customer” or other similar
checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assignment to the
assignee.
	 
	 	14.4	 	Transfer Certificates If a Lender wishes to transfer any of its rights and
obligations under or pursuant to this Agreement, it may do so by delivering to the
Agent a duly completed Transfer Certificate, in which event on the Transfer Date:

	 	14.4.1	 	to the extent that that Lender seeks to transfer its rights and obligations,
the Borrowers (on the one hand) and that Lender (on the other) shall be
released from all further obligations towards the other;

58

 

	 	14.4.2	 	the Borrowers (on the one hand) and the transferee (on the other) shall
assume obligations towards the other identical to those released pursuant to
Clause 14.4.1; and
	 
	 	14.4.3	 	the Agent, each of the Lenders and the transferee shall have the same rights
and obligations between themselves as they would have had if the transferee had
been an original party to this Agreement as a Lender

PROVIDED THAT the Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate
once:

	 	(a)	 	it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your
customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in
relation to the transfer to the transferee; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	the transferee has paid to the Agent for its own account a
transfer fee of three thousand five hundred Dollars ($3,500).

The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer
Certificate, send to the Borrowers a copy of that Transfer Certificate.

	 	14.5	 	Finance Documents Unless otherwise expressly provided in any Finance Document
or otherwise expressly agreed between a Lender and any proposed transferee and notified
by that Lender to the Agent on or before the relevant Transfer Date, there shall
automatically be assigned to the transferee with any transfer of a Lender’s rights and
obligations under or pursuant to this Agreement the rights of that Lender under or
pursuant to the Finance Documents (other than this Agreement) which relate to the
portion of that Lender’s rights and obligations transferred by the relevant Transfer
Certificate.
	 
	 	14.6	 	No assignment or transfer by the Borrowers or the Guarantors The Borrowers
and the Guarantors may not assign any of their rights or transfer any of its rights or
obligations under the Finance Documents without the prior written consent of the
Lenders.
	 
	 	14.7	 	Transfer of the Facility Agreement by KfW. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Clause 14.1 KfW may transfer all its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a
KfW Subsidiary with effect from 1 January 2008 or any later date. By

59

 

	 	 	 	signing this Agreement the Borrowers consents to such a transfer. KfW or the KfW
Subsidiary will inform the Borrowers of the date on which the transfer of KfW’s
rights and obligations to the KfW Subsidiary takes effect. In this connection the
following will apply:

	 	14.7.1	 	Deductions and Increased costs. If, by reason of circumstances already
existing at the transfer date, the Borrowers would be obliged to make a payment
to the KfW Subsidiary under Clauses 8.5, 17.2 or 17.3, it need pay the KfW
Subsidiary only such an amount as it would have been obliged to pay KfW if the
transfer had not occurred.
	 
	 	14.7.2	 	Costs. KfW will pay all costs incurred as a result of or in connection with
such transfer.

For the purposes of this Clause KfW Subsidiary means a company which within the
meaning of section 15 ff. German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) is directly or
indirectly (i) majority owned (im Mehrheitsbesitz) by KfW or (ii) controlled
(abhängig) by KfW.

	 	14.8	 	Disclosure of information. In connection with any transfer under Clause 14.7
KfW may disclose confidential information to the KfW Subsidiary or its agents or its
legal advisors.
	 
	 	14.9	 	Mitigation If a transfer is to take place under Clause 14.7 then, without in
any way limiting the rights of KfW under Clauses 8.5, 17.2 or 17.3, KfW shall take
reasonable steps to mitigate any circumstances which arise and which would result in
any amount becoming payable under or pursuant to Clauses 8.5, 17.2 or 17.3 and it shall
co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for the Borrowers to
obtain authorisation to make any payment under Clauses 8.5, 17.2 or 17.3 without a
deduction or withholding.

other than those expressly conferred on it by the Finance Documents and shall not be
obliged to act on any instructions from the Lenders or the Majority Lenders if to do
so would, in the opinion of the Agent, be contrary to any provision of the

potential liability to any third party.

	 	15.3	 	Trust The Security Trustee agrees and declares, and each of the other Finance
Parties acknowledges, that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Clause 15.3,

anything else done or omitted to be done in any way relating to the Security
Documents other than as a result of its gross negligence or wilful misconduct;
	 
	 	15.3.2	 	the other Finance Parties acknowledge that the Security Trustee shall be
under no obligation to insure any property nor to require any other person to
insure any property and shall not be responsible for any loss which may be

	 	15.4.5	 	extend the due date for the payment of any sum of money payable by any
Security Party under any Finance Document; nor
	 
	 	15.4.6	 	take or refrain from taking any step if the effect of such action or inaction
may lead to the increase of the obligations of a Lender under any Finance
Document; nor
	 
	 	15.4.7	 	agree to change the currency in which any sum is payable under any Finance
Document (other than in accordance with the terms of the relevant Finance
Document); nor
	 
	 	15.4.8	 	agree to amend this Clause 15.4.

	 	15.5	 	Liability Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or
agents shall be liable to the Lenders or the Swap Provider for anything done or omitted
to be done by the Agent under or in connection with any of the Relevant Documents
unless as a result of the Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
	 
	 	15.6	 	Acknowledgement Each Lender and the Swap Provider acknowledges that:

	 	15.6.1	 	it has not relied on any representation made by the Agent or any of the
Agent’s directors, officers, employees or agents or by any other person acting
or purporting to act on behalf of the Agent to induce it to enter into any
Finance Document;

63

 

	 	15.6.2	 	it has made and will continue to make without reliance on the Agent, and

Security Parties in connection with the making and continuation of the
Facility;
	 
	 	15.6.3	 	it has made its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Security
Parties; and

information is received by the Agent pursuant to the express terms of a Finance
Document.

Each Lender and the Swap Provider agrees that it will not assert nor seek to assert
against any director, officer, employee or agent of the Agent or against any other
person acting or purporting to act on behalf of the Agent any claim which it might
have against them in respect of any of the matters referred to in this Clause 15.6.

	 	15.7	 	Limitations on responsibility The Agent shall have no responsibility to any
Security Party or to any Lender on account of:

	 	15.7.1	 	the failure of a Lender or of any Security Party or to the Swap Provider to

64

 

	 	15.8.1	 	assume that all representations or warranties made or deemed repeated by any
Security Party in or pursuant to any Finance Document are true and complete,
unless, in its capacity as the Agent, it has acquired actual knowledge to the
contrary;
	 
	 	15.8.2	 	assume that no Default has occurred unless, in its capacity as the Agent, it

	 	15.8.4	 	rely as to legal or other professional matters on opinions and statements of

within the knowledge of any Security Party on a certificate signed by or on
behalf of that Security Party; and
	 
	 	15.8.6	 	refrain from exercising any right, power, discretion or remedy unless and
until instructed to exercise that right, power, discretion or remedy and as to
the manner of its exercise by the Lenders (or, where applicable, by the
Majority Lenders) and unless and until the Agent has received from the Lenders
any payment which the Agent may require on account of, or any security which
the Agent may require for, any costs, claims, expenses (including legal and
other professional fees) and liabilities which it considers it may incur or
sustain in complying with those instructions.

	 	15.9	 	The Agent’s duties The Agent shall:

	 	15.9.1	 	if requested in writing to do so by a Lender, make enquiry and advise the
Lenders as to the performance or observance of any of the provisions of any
Finance Document by any Security Party or as to the existence of an Event of
Default; and
	 
	 	15.9.2	 	inform the Lenders promptly of any Event of Default of which the Agent has
actual knowledge.

	 	15.10	 	No deemed knowledge The Agent shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge
of the falsehood or incompleteness of any representation or warranty made or deemed
repeated by any Security Party or actual knowledge of the

65

 

occurrence of any Default unless a Lender or a Security Party shall have given
written notice thereof to the Agent in its capacity as the Agent. Any information
acquired by the Agent other than specifically in its capacity as the Agent shall not
be deemed to be information acquired by the Agent in its capacity as the Agent.

	 	15.11	 	Other business The Agent may, without any liability to account to the
Lenders or the Swap Provider, generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business
with a Security Party or with a Security Party’s subsidiaries or associated companies
or with a Lender as if it were not the Agent.
	 
	 	15.12	 	Indemnity The Lenders shall, promptly on the Agent’s request, reimburse the
Agent in their respective Proportionate Shares, for, and keep the Agent fully
indemnified in respect of all liabilities, damages, costs and claims sustained or
incurred by the Agent in connection with the Finance Documents, or the performance of
its duties and obligations, or the exercise of its rights, powers, discretions or
remedies under or pursuant to any Finance Document, to the extent not paid by the
Security Parties and not arising solely from the Agent’s gross negligence or wilful
misconduct.
	 
	 	15.13	 	Employment of agents In performing its duties and exercising its rights,
powers, discretions and remedies under or pursuant to the Finance Documents, the Agent
shall be entitled to employ and pay agents to do anything which the Agent is empowered
to do under or pursuant to the Finance Documents (including the receipt of money and
documents and the payment of money) and to act or refrain from taking action in
reliance on the opinion of, or advice or information obtained from, any lawyer, banker,
broker, accountant, valuer or any other person believed by the Agent in good faith to
be competent to give such opinion, advice or information.
	 
	 	15.14	 	Distribution of payments The Agent shall pay promptly to the order of the
Swap Provider any sums to which it is entitled under the Finance Documents and to the
order of each Lender that Lender’s Proportionate Share of every sum of money received
by the Agent pursuant to the Finance Documents (with the exception of any amounts
payable pursuant to Clause 9 and/or any Fee Letter and any amounts which, by the terms
of the Finance Documents, are paid to the Agent for the account of the Agent alone or
specifically for the account of the Swap Provider or of one or more Lenders) and until
so paid such amount shall be held

66

 

	 	 	 	by the Agent on trust absolutely for that Lender or the Swap Provider (as the case
may be).
	 
	 	15.15	 	Reimbursement The Agent shall have no liability to pay any sum to a Lender
or the Swap Provider (as the case may be) until it has itself received payment of that
sum. If, however, the Agent does pay any sum to a Lender or the Swap Provider (as the
case may be) on account of any amount prospectively due to that Lender or the Swap
Provider (as the case may be) pursuant to Clause 15.14 before it has itself received
payment of that amount, and the Agent does not in fact receive payment within five (5)
Business Days after the date on which that payment was required to be made by the terms
of the Finance Documents, that Lender or the Swap Provider (as the case may be) will,
on demand by the Agent, refund to the Agent an amount equal to the amount received by
it, together with an amount sufficient to reimburse the Agent for any amount which the
Agent may certify that it has been required to pay by way of interest on money borrowed
to fund the amount in question during the period beginning on the date on which that
amount was required to be paid by the terms of the Finance Documents and ending on the
date on which the Agent receives reimbursement.
	 
	 	15.16	 	Redistribution of payments Unless otherwise agreed between the Finance
Parties, if at any time a Finance Party receives or recovers by way of set-off, the
exercise of any lien or otherwise from any Security Party, an amount greater than that
Finance Party’s entitlement to any sum due from that Security Party under the Finance
Documents (the amount of the excess being referred to in this Clause 15.16 and in
Clause 15.17 as the “Excess Amount”) then:

	 	15.16.1	 	that Finance Party shall promptly notify the Agent (which shall promptly
notify each other Finance Party);

	 	15.16.2	 	that Finance Party shall pay to the Agent an amount equal to the Excess
Amount within ten (10) days of its receipt or recovery of the Excess Amount;
and
	 
	 	15.16.3	 	the Agent shall treat that payment as if it were a payment by the Security
Party in question on account of the sum due from that Security Party to the
Finance Party and shall account to the Finance Parties in respect of the Excess
Amount in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 15.16.

67

 

However, if a Finance Party has commenced any legal proceedings to recover sums
owing to it under the Finance Documents and, as a result of, or in connection with,
those proceedings has received an Excess Amount, the Agent shall not distribute any
of that Excess Amount to any other Finance Party which had been notified of the
proceedings and had the legal right to, but did not, join those proceedings or
commence and diligently prosecute separate proceedings to enforce its rights in the
same or another court.

	 	15.17	 	Rescission of Excess Amount If all or any part of any Excess Amount is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored to any Security Party or to any other third
party, the Finance Parties which have received any part of that Excess Amount by way of
distribution from the Agent pursuant to Clause 15.16 shall repay to the Agent for the
account of the Finance Party which originally received or recovered the Excess Amount,
the amount which shall be necessary to ensure that the Finance Parties share in the
amount of the receipt or payment retained in accordance with the provisions of the
Finance Documents, together with interest on that amount at a rate equivalent to that
(if any) paid by the Lender receiving or recovering the Excess Amount to the person to
whom that Lender is liable to make payment in respect of such amount, and Clause
15.16.3 shall apply only to the retained amount.
	 
	 	15.18	 	Instructions Where the Agent is authorised or directed to act or refrain
from acting in accordance with the instructions of the Lenders or of the Majority
Lenders each of the Lenders shall provide the Agent with instructions within three (3)
Business Days of the Agent’s request (which request may be made orally or in writing).
If a Lender does not provide the Agent with instructions within that period, that
Lender shall be bound by the decision of the Agent. Nothing in this Clause 15.18 shall
limit the right of the Agent to take, or refrain from taking, any action without
obtaining the instructions of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders if the Agent in its
discretion considers it necessary or appropriate to take, or refrain from taking, such
action in order to preserve the rights of the Lenders under or in connection with the
Finance Documents. In that event, the Agent will notify the Lenders of the action
taken by it as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Lenders agree to ratify any
action taken by the Agent pursuant to this Clause 15.18.

68

 

	 	15.19	 	Payments All amounts payable to a Lender or the Swap Provider (as the case
may be) under this Clause 15 shall be paid to such account at such bank as that Lender
or the Swap Provider (as the case may be) may from time to time direct in writing to
the Agent.
	 
	 	15.20	 	“Know your customer” checks Each Lender shall promptly upon the request of
the Agent supply, or procure the supply of, such documentation and other evidence as is
reasonably requested by the Agent (for itself) in order for the Agent to carry out and
be satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar
checks under all applicable laws and regulations pursuant to the transactions
contemplated in the Finance Documents.
	 
	 	15.21	 	Resignation Subject to a successor being appointed in accordance with this
Clause 15.21, the Agent may resign as agent and/or the Security Trustee may resign as
security agent at any time without assigning any reason by giving to the Borrowers and
the Finance Parties notice of its intention to do so, in which event the following
shall apply:

	 	15.21.1	 	with the consent of the Borrowers not to be unreasonably withheld (but such
consent not to be required at any time after an Event of Default which is
continuing unremedied and unwaived) the Finance Parties may within thirty (30)
days after the date of the notice from the Agent or the Security Trustee (as
the case may be) appoint a successor to act as agent and/or security agent or,
if they fail to do so with the consent of the Borrowers, not to be unreasonably
withheld (but such consent not to be required at any time after an Event of
Default which is continuing unremedied and unwaived), the Agent or the Security
Trustee (as the case may be) may appoint any other bank or financial
institution as its successor;
	 
	 	15.21.2	 	the resignation of the Agent or the Security Trustee (as the case may be)
shall take effect simultaneously with the appointment of its successor on
written notice of that appointment being given to the Borrowers and the Finance
Parties;

69

 

	 	15.21.3	 	the Agent or the Security Trustee (as the case may be) shall thereupon be
discharged from all further obligations as agent and/or security agent but
shall remain entitled to the benefit of the provisions of this Clause 15; and
	 
	 	15.21.4	 	the successor of the Agent or the Security Trustee (as the case may be) and
each of the other parties to this Agreement shall have the same rights and
obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if that successor had
been a party to this Agreement.

	 	15.22	 	No fiduciary relationship Except as provided in Clauses 15.3 and 15.14, the
Agent shall not have any fiduciary relationship with or be deemed to be a trustee of or
for any other person and nothing contained in any Finance Document shall constitute a
partnership between any two or more Finance Parties or between the Agent and any other
person.

16 Set-Off

	 	16.1	 	Set-off A Finance Party may set off any matured obligation due from the
Borrowers under any Finance Document (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance
Party) against any matured obligation owed by that Finance Party to the Borrowers,
regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation.
If the obligations are in different currencies, that Finance Party may convert either
obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose
of the set-off.

	 	16.2	 	Master Agreement Rights The rights conferred on the Swap Provider by this
Clause 16 shall be in addition to and without prejudice or limitation to the rights of
netting and set off conferred on the Swap Provider by the Master Agreement.

17 Payments

	 	17.1	 	Payments Each amount payable by the Borrowers under a Finance Document shall
be paid to such account at such bank as the Agent may from time to time direct to the
Borrowers in the Currency of Account and in such funds as are customary at the time for
settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment. Payment
shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the date on which the Agent
receives authenticated advice of receipt, unless that advice is received by the Agent
on a day other than a Business Day or at a

70

 

	 	 	 	time of day (whether on a Business Day or not) when the Agent in its reasonable
discretion considers that it is impossible or impracticable for the Agent to utilise
the amount received for value that same day, in which event the payment in question
shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the Business Day next
following the date of receipt of advice by the Agent.

	 	17.2	 	No deductions or withholdings Each payment (whether of principal or interest
or otherwise) to be made by the Borrowers under a Finance Document shall, subject only
to Clause 17.3, be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of
any Taxes or other deductions, withholdings, restrictions, conditions or counterclaims
of any nature.
	 
	 	17.3	 	Grossing-up If at any time any law requires (or is interpreted to require)
the Borrowers to make any deduction or withholding from any payment, or to change the
rate or manner in which any required deduction or withholding is made, the Borrowers
will promptly notify the Agent and, simultaneously with making that payment, will pay
to the Agent whatever additional amount (after taking into account any additional Taxes
on, or deductions or withholdings from, or restrictions or conditions on, that
additional amount) is necessary to ensure that, after making the deduction or
withholding, the relevant Finance Parties receive a net sum equal to the sum which they
would have received had no deduction or withholding been made.
	 
	 	17.4	 	Evidence of deductions If at any time the Borrowers are required by law to
make any deduction or withholding from any payment to be made by it under a Finance
Document, the Borrowers will pay the amount required to be deducted or withheld to the
relevant authority within the time allowed under the applicable law and will, no later
than thirty (30) days after making that payment, deliver to the Agent an original
receipt issued by the relevant authority, or other evidence reasonably acceptable to
the Agent, evidencing the payment to that authority of all amounts required to be
deducted or withheld.
	 
	 	17.5	 	Rebate If a Borrower pays any additional amount under Clause 17.3, and a
Finance Party subsequently receives a refund or allowance from any tax authority which
that Finance Party identifies as being referable to that increased amount so paid by
that Borrower, that Finance Party shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, pay to that
Borrower an amount equal to the amount of the refund or allowance

71

 

	 	 	 	received, if and to the extent that it may do so without prejudicing its right to
retain that refund or allowance and without putting itself in any worse financial
position than that in which it would have been had the relevant deduction or
withholding not been required to have been made. Nothing in this Clause 17.5 shall
be interpreted as imposing any obligation on any Finance Party to apply for any
refund or allowance nor as restricting in any way the manner in which any Finance
Party organises its tax affairs, nor as imposing on any Finance Party any obligation
to disclose to the Borrowers any information regarding its tax affairs or tax
computations.
	 
	 	17.6	 	Adjustment of due dates If any payment or transfer of funds to be made under
a Finance Document, other than a payment of interest on a Drawing, shall be due on a
day which is not a Business Day, that payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day (unless the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next calendar month
in which event the payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day). Any such
variation of time shall be taken into account in computing any interest in respect of
that payment.

	 	17.7	 	Control Account The Agent shall open and maintain on its books a control
account in the name of the Borrowers showing the advance of the Facility and the
computation and payment of interest and all other sums due under this Agreement. The
Borrowers’ obligations to repay the Facility and to pay interest and all other sums due
under this Agreement shall be evidenced by the entries from time to time made in the
control account opened and maintained under this Clause 17.7 and those entries will, in
the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding.

19 Partial Invalidity

If, at any time, any provision of a Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or
unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality,
validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or
enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be
affected or impaired.

20 Remedies and Waivers

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Finance Party, any
right or remedy under a Finance Document shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or the
exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement
are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

21 Joint and several liability; liability of Hugli

	 	21.1	 	Nature of liability of the A Borrowers The representations, warranties,

and irrevocably paid and discharged in full, each A Borrower agrees that it shall not,
by virtue of any payment made under this Agreement on account of the Indebtedness or by

virtue of any relationship between, or transaction involving, the relevant A Borrower
and any other A Borrower or any other Security Party:

in fact received by it.

covenants, obligations and undertakings of the B Borrowers contained in this Agreement

liable with all the B Borrowers for all of the same and such liability shall not in any
way be discharged, impaired or otherwise affected by:

22 Miscellaneous

	 	22.1	 	No oral variations No variation or amendment of a Finance Document shall be
valid unless in writing and signed on behalf of all the Finance Parties.

78

 

	 	22.2	 	Further Assurance If any provision of a Finance Document shall be invalid or
unenforceable in whole or in part by reason of any present or future law or any
decision of any court, or if the documents at any time held by or on behalf of the
Finance Parties or any of them are considered by the Lenders for any reason
insufficient to carry out the terms of this Agreement, then from time to time the
Borrowers will promptly, on demand by the Agent, execute or procure the execution of
such further documents as in the opinion of the Lenders are necessary to provide
adequate security for the repayment of the Indebtedness.
	 
	 	22.3	 	Rescission of payments etc. Any discharge, release or reassignment by a
Finance Party of any of the security constituted by, or any of the obligations of a
Security Party contained in, a Finance Document shall be (and be deemed always to have
been) void if any act (including, without limitation, any payment) as a result of which
such discharge, release or reassignment was given or made is subsequently wholly or
partially rescinded or avoided by operation of any law.
	 
	 	22.4	 	Certificates Any certificate or statement signed by an authorised signatory
of the Agent purporting to show the amount of the Indebtedness (or any part of the
Indebtedness) or any other amount referred to in any Finance Document shall, save for
manifest error or on any question of law, be conclusive evidence as against the
Borrowers of that amount.
	 
	 	22.5	 	Counterparts This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts
each of which shall be original but which shall together constitute the same
instrument.
	 
	 	22.6	 	Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 A person who is not a party to
this Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to
enforce or to enjoy the benefit of any term of this Agreement.
	 
	 	22.7	 	Disclosure of Information In addition to the disclosure of information
permitted under Clause 14.2, each of the Borrowers authorises each Lender to disclose
any information and/or document(s) concerning its relationship with such Lender (i) to
authorities in any other countries where such Lender or any Affiliate is represented
and/or where any Lender or any Affiliate may be requested information by any regulatory
authority, when this shall be deemed necessary in order for such Lender or any
Affiliate to meet its requirements for the

79

 

	 	 	 	contribution to reduction or prevention of money laundering, terrorism and
corruption, and (ii) to any Affiliate of that Lender making it possible to
consolidate the client’s total commitments and offer the client any other products
offered by that Lender or any Affiliate, subject always to the duties of
confidentiality on the Lenders set out herein.

23 Law and Jurisdiction

	 	23.1	 	Governing law This Agreement shall in all respects be governed by and
interpreted in accordance with English law.
	 
	 	23.2	 	Jurisdiction For the exclusive benefit of the Finance Parties, the parties to
this Agreement irrevocably agree that the courts of England are to have jurisdiction to
settle any disputes which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement and
that any proceedings may be brought in those courts.
	 
	 	23.3	 	Alternative jurisdictions Nothing contained in this Clause 23 shall limit the
right of the Finance Parties to commence any proceedings against the Borrowers in any
other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the commencement of any proceedings
against the Borrowers in one or more jurisdictions preclude the commencement of any
proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.
	 
	 	23.4	 	Waiver of objections Each of the Borrowers irrevocably waives any objection
which it may now or in the future have to the laying of the venue of any proceedings in
any court referred to in this Clause 23, and any claim that those proceedings have been
brought in an inconvenient or inappropriate forum, and irrevocably agrees that a
judgment in any proceedings commenced in any such court shall be conclusive and binding
on it and may be enforced in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
	 
	 	23.5	 	Service of process Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed
under any relevant law, each of the Borrowers:

	 	23.5.1	 	irrevocably appoints Teekay Shipping (UK) Ltd of 2nd Floor, 86
Jermyn Street, London SW1Y 6JD England as its agent for service of process in
relation to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with this
Agreement; and

80

 

	 	23.5.2	 	agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the Borrowers of the process
will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.

SCHEDULE 4: Calculation of Mandatory Cost

	1	 	The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate the Lenders for the cost
of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services
Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions)
or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.
	 
	(a)	 	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Agent shall
calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender in
accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the
Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to
the percentage participation of each Lender in the Facility) and will be expressed as a
percentage rate per annum.
	 
	(b)	 	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from an office in the euro-zone will be the
percentage notified by that Lender to the Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost
(expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in the Facility) of complying with
the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank as a result of participating in
the Facility from that office.
	 
	(c)	 	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from an office in the United Kingdom will be
calculated by the Agent as follows:
	 
	 	 	                    F x 0.01 per cent per annum

                    300
	 
	 	 	where F is the charge payable by that Lender to the Financial Services Authority under
paragraph 2.02 or 2.03 (as appropriate) of the Fees Regulations or the equivalent provisions
in any replacement regulations (with, for this purpose, the figure for the minimum amount in
paragraph 2.02b or such equivalent provision deemed to be zero), expressed in pounds per £1
million of the fee base of that Lender.
	 
	2	 	For the purpose of this Schedule:

	 	(a)	 	“eligible liabilities” and “special deposits” have the meanings given to them
at the time of application of the formula by the Bank of England;
	 
	 	(b)	 	“fee base” has the meaning given to it in the Fees Regulations;

114

 

	 	(c)	 	“Fees Regulations” means the regulations governing periodic fees contained in
the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time
to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits.

	3	 	If a Lender does not supply the information required by the Agent to determine its Additional
Cost Rate when requested to do so, the applicable Mandatory Cost shall be determined on the
basis of the information supplied by the remaining Lenders.
	 
	4	 	If a change in circumstances has rendered, or will render, the formula inappropriate, the
Agent shall notify the Borrowers of the manner in which the Mandatory Cost will subsequently
be calculated. The manner of calculation so notified by the Agent shall, in the absence of
manifest error, be binding on the Borrowers.
