         or any later time are conferred on or by any of the Assets, free from
         any Security Interest.

(b)      US$50,000.00, which shall be payable by the grant by the Purchaser to
         the Vendor of an option (the "Option") to enter into time charter
         contracts with each of the Companies for the charter of the Vessels

         which the Vessels are currently subject, for whatever period such
         current time charter parties are not extended in accordance with their
         terms (being a maximum of six (6) years), provided however, the Option
         shall be exercisable to extend the charter term for up to two,
         three-year extensions (or for whatever lesser remaining amount of the
         extension is then available), and further provided that the income
         derived by the Companies therefrom would not cause over 10% of the
         Purchaser's consolidated income to fail to qualify as qualifying income
         within the meaning of Section 7704(d)(1)(E) of the United States
         Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

         and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser, to provide to
         the Companies a secured revolving, reducing credit facility in the

<PAGE>

4.4      CLOSING OBLIGATIONS NOT FULFILLED. If either party fails, for any

         provisions of this Clause 4, the other party may, at its option:

         or more periods that shall not exceed 20 (twenty) Business Days in
         aggregate in respect of either all of the parties' obligations under
         the foregoing provisions of this Clause 4 or such of those obligations

         as regards the obligations with which the first party has not complied;
         or

(c)      waive all or any of the obligations in question of the first party.

4.5      DEFERRED CLOSING. If Closing is deferred to another date in accordance
         with Clause 4.4(a), and Closing is effected, the provisions of this
         Agreement shall apply as if that other date were the Closing Date.

5        WARRANTIES

5.1      GENERAL. The Vendor represents, warrants and undertakes, subject to
         Clause 5.8, that each statement in Schedule A is at the date of this
         Agreement, and will (save as disclosed in writing not later than the
         time of Closing) at the Closing Date remain, true, accurate and not
         misleading in any respect on the basis that a reference to the Closing
         Date were substituted for any express or implied reference to the date
         of this Agreement in that Schedule.

5.2      CLAIMS. The Vendor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably covenants
         with the Purchaser that, subject always to the limitations set out in
         Clause 6, it will indemnify the Purchaser and the Companies against all
         Losses and Expenses that any of the Purchaser Group Companies or the
         Companies may suffer or incur or pay in enforcing its rights in
         connection with any matter referred to in this Agreement or any of the
         Transaction Documents including, without limitation:

         (i)      the disputing and/or settlement of any Claims and any steps
                  taken to avoid and advice sought in connection with any
                  actual, threatened or anticipated Claims;

         (ii)     any legal proceedings in which any of the Purchaser Group
                  Companies or the Companies makes a Claim; and

         (iii)    the enforcement of any such settlement or judgement.

5.3      RELIANCE ON WARRANTIES. The Vendor acknowledges that:

(a)      the Purchaser has been induced to enter and is entering into this
         Agreement and the other Transaction Documents on the basis of and in
         reliance upon the Warranties;

(b)      the Purchaser may rely on the Warranties to the exclusion of any other
         information, and that, with the exception of matters set forth in the
         Disclosure Schedule, the Purchaser's rights in respect thereof will not
         be in any way impaired as a result of any other information being
         possessed by or available to any Purchaser Group Companies or any
         officer, employee, professional or financial adviser of, or person
         acting on behalf of, the Purchaser or any Purchaser Group Companies.

                                       7
<PAGE>

5.4      WARRANTIES ARE SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT. Each Warranty shall be
         construed as a separate and independent warranty and, save as expressly
         provided otherwise, shall not be limited or restricted by reference to
         or inference from any other terms of this Agreement or any other
         Warranty.

5.5      REDUCTION IN CONSIDERATION. Any payments made by the Vendor to the
         Purchaser in respect of Claims shall, to the extent lawfully possible,
         be treated by the parties as a reduction in the Consideration;
         provided, however, that this Clause 5.5 shall not in any way limit or
         restrict the amount recoverable by the Purchaser or any other person
         under this agreement to the amount of the Consideration or any other
         amount (but this is without prejudice to the limitations set out in
         Clause 6).

5.6      AWARENESS OF VENDOR AND ORDINARY COURSE OF BUSINESS. Where any Warranty
         is qualified by reference to the awareness, knowledge, information or
         belief of the Vendor (or any similar expression), the Vendor shall be
         deemed to have such awareness, knowledge, information or belief as it
         would have after having made reasonable enquiry of the senior executive
         managers and officers of the Vendor. In relation to each of the
         Warranties concerning the assets, liabilities, Contracts, Vessels or
         results of any of the Companies, such Warranties shall be deemed to be
         qualified by reference to exclude any matters (whether or not
         Disclosed) arising in the ordinary and normal course of trading since
         September 30, 2005.

5.7      PROVISION OF INFORMATION. The Vendor undertakes promptly to provide the
         Purchaser with any information that the Purchaser may by written notice
         request in relation to:

(a)      any of the Warranties or any statement of fact contained elsewhere in
         this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or

(b)      the Disclosure Schedule or any other disclosure made or information
         provided (or purportedly made or provided) under this Clause 5.7; or

(c)      any matter or question connected with or arising out of any of the
         foregoing,

         but this only applies to information that is (either at the date of the
         Agreement or at the date of the request) in the possession of the
         Vendor or that the Vendor or any of its professional advisers can
         reasonably be expected to obtain and present without undue efforts.

5.8      DISCLOSURE IN DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE. The Vendor shall not have any
         liability in respect of any Claim if and to the extent that any fact,
         matter or circumstance that causes any of the Warranties to be breached
         or that might result in a Claim or possible Claim has been Disclosed in
         the Disclosure Schedule or otherwise in any of the Transaction
         Documents.

5.9      NOTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL CLAIMS BEFORE CLOSING. If, at any time before
         Closing, the Vendor becomes aware of any Claim or any matter that could
         reasonably be expected to cause a Claim to arise or any matter that at
         Closing would constitute a Claim or could reasonably be expected to
         cause a Claim to arise, it shall forthwith disclose the same in writing
         to the Purchaser.

6        REMEDIES OF THE PURCHASER

6.1      SURVIVAL. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this
         Agreement and the Transaction Documents, the representations and
         warranties of the Vendor contained in

                                       8
<PAGE>

         this Agreement (including the Schedules hereto), the Disclosure
         Schedule and the Transaction Documents shall survive the Closing and
         remain in full force and effect for a period of 12 months after the
         Closing Date; provided, however, that (a) the Warranties in Clauses 1.2
         (Title to Interests and the Notes), 1.3 (No arrangements relating to
         share capital), 11 (Taxation) and 12.1 (No brokers fees) of Schedule A
         to this Agreement shall survive until, and shall terminate upon, the
         date of expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with
         respect to the liability in question. The covenants and agreements of
         the Vendor contained in this Agreement and the Transactions Documents
         that by their terms extend beyond the Closing Date shall not terminate
         until all obligations with respect thereto have been performed or
         satisfied or shall have expired or been terminated in accordance with
         their terms.

6.2.     INDEMNIFICATION BY THE VENDOR

(a)      The Vendor agrees, subject to the other terms and conditions of this
         Agreement and the Transaction Documents, to indemnify the Purchaser
         against and hold it harmless from any and all (i) Losses and Expenses
         to the Purchaser, any Purchaser Group Company or the Companies arising
         out of or related to the breach of any representation, warranty,
         covenant or agreement of the Vendor in this Agreement (including the
         Schedules hereto), the Disclosure Schedule and the Transaction
         Documents, to the extent Vendor is notified by the Purchaser of such
         Losses or Expenses prior to expiration of the applicable survival
         period set forth in Clause 6.1 above, (ii) any Covered Environmental
         Losses relating to the Assets to the extent that the Vendor is notified
         by the Purchaser of any such Covered Environmental Losses within five
         (5) years after the Closing Date; (iii) Losses or Expenses to the
         Purchaser, the Purchaser Group Companies or the Companies arising from
         (A) the failure of the Purchaser Group Companies, immediately after the
         Closing Date, to be the owner of such ownership interests in and to the
         Assets as are necessary to enable the Purchaser Group Companies to own
         and operate the Assets in substantially the same manner that the Assets
         were owned and operated by the Vendor Group Companies immediately prior
         to the Closing Date or (B) the failure of the Purchaser Group Companies
         to have on the Closing Date any consent or governmental permit
         necessary to allow the Purchaser Group Companies to own or operate the
         Assets in substantially the same manner that the Assets were owned and
         operated by the Vendor Group Companies immediately prior to the Closing
         Date, in each of clauses (A) and (B) above, to the extent that the
         Vendor is notified by the Purchaser of such Losses or Expenses within
         three (3) years after the Closing Date; and (iv) all federal, state,
         foreign and local income tax liabilities attributable to the operation
         of the Assets prior to the Closing Date.

(b)      The aggregate liability of Vendor under Clause 6.2(a) above shall not
         exceed $10 million. Furthermore, no claim may be made against Vendor
         for indemnification pursuant to Clause 6.2(a) unless the aggregate
         dollar amount of all claims for indemnification pursuant to such clause
         shall exceed $500,000, in which case Vendor shall be liable for claims
         for indemnification only to the extent such aggregate amount exceeds
         $500,000.

6.3.     GENERAL PROVISIONS.

(a)      The Purchaser agrees that within a reasonable period of time after it
         becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification
         pursuant to Clause 6.2, it will provide notice thereof in writing to
         Vendor specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim.

                                       9
<PAGE>

(b)      Vendor shall have the right to control all aspects of the defence of
         (and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against
         Purchaser, the Purchaser Group Companies or the Companies that are
         covered by the indemnification set forth in Clause 6.2, including,
         without limitation, the selection of counsel, determination of whether
         to appeal any decision of any court and the settling of any such matter
         or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such
         settlement shall be entered into without the consent (which consent
         shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the Purchaser (with the
         concurrence of the conflicts committee of Teekay GP L.L.C.) unless it
         includes a full release of the Purchaser, the Purchaser Group Companies
         and the Companies from such matter or issues, as the case may be.

(c)      The Purchaser agrees to cooperate fully with Vendor with respect to all
         aspects of the defence of any claims covered by the indemnification set
         forth in Clause 6.2, including, without limitation, the prompt
         furnishing to Vendor of any correspondence or other notice relating
         thereto that the Purchaser, the Purchaser Group Companies or the
         Companies may receive, permitting the names of such parties to be
         utilized in connection with such defence, the making available to
         Vendor of any files, records or other information of such parties that
         Vendor considers relevant to such defence and the making available to
         Vendor of any employees of Purchaser, the Purchaser Group Companies or
         the Companies; provided, however, that in connection therewith Vendor
         agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the
         operations of such parties and further agrees to maintain the
         confidentiality of all files, records and other information furnished
         by any such party pursuant to this Clause 6.3. In no event shall the
         obligation of the Purchaser to cooperate with Vendor as set forth in
         the immediately preceding sentence be construed as imposing upon the
         Purchaser an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection with
         the defence of any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in
         this Clause 6; provided, however, that the Purchaser may, at its own
         option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with
         any such defence. Vendor agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the
         Purchaser reasonably informed as to the status of any such defence
         (including providing such counsel with such information related to any
         such defence as such counsel may reasonably request) but Vendor shall
         have the right to retain sole control over such defence.

(d)      In determining the amount of any Loss or Expense for which the
         Purchaser, any Purchaser Group Company or any Company is entitled to
         indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the
         indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds realized
         by such parties, and such correlative insurance benefit shall be net of
         any incremental insurance premium that becomes due and payable by such
         parties as a result of such claim, and (ii) all amounts recovered by
         such parties under contractual indemnities from third persons. The
         Purchaser hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to
         realize any applicable insurance proceeds or amounts recoverable under
         such contractual indemnities; provided, however, that the costs and
         expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable
         attorneys' fees) of Purchaser, the Purchaser Group Companies or the
         Companies in connection with such efforts shall be promptly reimbursed
         by Vendor in advance of any determination of whether such insurance
         proceeds or other amounts will be recoverable.

(e)      The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that its sole and
         exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to the
         subject matter of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall be
         pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Clause 6.
         In furtherance of the foregoing, the Purchaser hereby waives, to the
         fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any and all rights,
         claims and causes of action it may have against Vendor and the Vendor
         Group Companies arising under or based upon any federal, state, foreign
         or local statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation

                                       10
<PAGE>

         (including, without limitation, any such rights, claims or causes of
         action arising under or based upon common law or otherwise).

7        IMPLEMENTATION

7.1      FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Vendor shall (and shall procure that any other
         relevant person shall) execute any deeds or documents and exercise or
         waive any rights and generally take any action, including passing (or
         procuring that there is passed) any resolution of Vendor or (whilst the
         Vendor remains the registered owner) the Companies that the Purchaser
         may reasonably require, which may be necessary for the Transaction
         Documents to be carried into effect.

8        COSTS

8.1      RESPONSIBILITY FOR COSTS. Except where expressly provided otherwise,
         each party shall pay its own costs connected with the negotiation,
         preparation, execution and implementation of the Transaction Documents
         and any matters connected therewith and investigating the affairs of
         the Companies.

8.2      CREDIT FACILITY PAYMENT. Upon the closing of the credit facility

9        OTHER PROVISIONS

9.1      ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement together with the other Transaction
         Documents constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
         regarding the sale and purchase of the Assets and related matters and
         supersedes any prior drafts, agreements, undertakings, representations,
         warranties and arrangements of any kind, whether or not in writing,
         regarding the same, all of which are hereby terminated and shall cease
         to have effect in all respects, and the parties confirm that there are
         no collateral or supplemental agreements relating to the Transaction
         Documents, except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

9.2      ASSIGNMENT.

(a)      This Agreement shall be binding on and endure for the benefit of each
         party's successors and permitted assigns. Save as provided in Clause
         9.2(b), no party shall, without the prior written consent of the other
         party, assign, transfer, charge or deal in any other manner with this
         Agreement or any of its rights (whether to damages or otherwise) or
         obligations arising under or in connection with the Agreement, or
         purport to do any of the same, nor sub-contract any or all of its
         obligations under this Agreement, and any such assignment, transfer,
         charge or dealing shall be void for all purposes.

(b)      The Purchaser may assign all or any part of its rights and benefits
         under this Agreement to any Purchaser Group Companies.

(c)      Subject to and upon any succession or assignment permitted by this
         Agreement, any such successor or assignee shall in its own right be
         able to enforce any term of this Agreement in accordance with the terms
         of this Agreement as if it were a party, but until such time shall have
         no rights whether as a third party or otherwise. The Vendor shall have
         no greater liabilities towards any successor or assignee of the
         Purchaser than it

                                       11
<PAGE>

         would have had to the Purchaser had the Purchaser remained fully and
         solely entitled under this Agreement.

9.3      RIGHT OF SET-OFF, DEDUCTIONS AND WITHHOLDINGS AND TAX ON PAYMENTS.

(a)      The Purchaser shall not be entitled to set off against the
         Consideration any sums owing to it by the Vendor.

(b)      If any deduction or withholding is required by law to be made from any
         payment from one party to another party under any Transaction Document,
         the party making the payment shall increase the amount thereof so as to
         ensure that the recipient receives and is able to retain that amount
         that it would have received and retained had the payment not been the
         subject matter of such deduction or withholding provided always that if
         the recipient is entitled to a credit or some other benefit as a
         consequence of the payment to it being the subject matter of a
         deduction or withholding it shall use its reasonable endeavours to
         utilise the credit (whether by set off, or by claiming a repayment in
         respect thereof, or otherwise) or benefit so arising and in the event
         that it is able so to do it shall repay to the party who made the
         payment an amount equal to the credit or benefit so utilised, provided
         always that this clause is without prejudice to the limitations on the
         Vendor's liabilities as set out in Clause 6. For the avoidance of
         doubt, this clause shall not impose upon the recipient of the payment
         any obligation to utilise any credit or benefit in priority to any
         other economic credit or benefit available to it or to pay to the party
         making the payment an amount greater than that by which the original
         payment was increased under this clause.

(c)      If any payment from the Vendor to the Purchaser under any Transaction
         Document is liable to Tax in the hands of the Purchaser, the Vendor
         shall increase the payment by such an amount as will ensure that the
         Purchaser is able to receive and retain, after paying Tax in respect of
         its receipt, an amount equal to that which would otherwise have been
         paid to it had the receipt not been subject to Tax in its hands,
         provided always that this clause is without prejudice to the
         limitations on the Vendor's liabilities as set out in Clause 6. The
         parties shall agree to the amount of any increase in a relevant payment
         to give effect to this Clause. In the event that the parties are not
         able to agree the amount of any increase, the amount thereof shall be
         certified by the Purchaser's auditors acting as experts whose decision
         in respect thereof shall be binding on the relevant parties except in
         the case of manifest error.

9.4      WAIVERS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

(a)      No failure or delay on the part of either party to this Agreement in
         exercising any right or remedy provided by law or under this Agreement
         shall impair such right or remedy or operate as a waiver or variation
         of it or preclude its exercise at any subsequent time and no single or
         partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall preclude or restrict
         any other or further exercise of it or the exercise of any other right
         or remedy.

(b)      A waiver by either party to this Agreement of a breach of or default
         under any Transaction Document shall not constitute a waiver of any
         other breach or default, shall not affect the other terms of any
         Transaction Document or the rights of any other person thereto and
         shall not prevent the Purchaser from subsequently requiring compliance
         with the waived obligation.

(c)      Any waiver (in whole or in part) of any right or remedy under this
         Agreement must be set out in writing, signed by or on behalf of the
         person granting the waiver and may be given subject to any conditions
         thought fit by the grantor and, unless otherwise expressly

                                       12
<PAGE>

         stated, any waiver shall be effective only in the instance and only for
         the purpose for, and in favour of the person to, which it is given.

(d)      Unless specifically provided otherwise, the rights and remedies of the
         Purchaser and the Vendor under or pursuant to any Transaction Document
         are cumulative, may be exercised as often as the Purchaser or the
         Vendor, as applicable considers appropriate and are in addition to its
         rights and remedies under the general law.

9.5      VARIATIONS. No variation of any Transaction Document shall be valid
         unless it is agreed in writing and signed by or on behalf of each of
         the parties thereto.

9.6      EFFECT OF CLOSING. This Agreement (other than obligations that have
         already been fully performed) remains in full force after Closing.

9.7      PROVISIONS OF AGREEMENT SEVERABLE. If any provisions of this Agreement
         or any other Transaction Document is, or becomes, invalid,
         unenforceable or illegal, in whole or in part, under the laws of any
         jurisdiction, such term or provision or part shall to that extent be
         deemed not to form part of this Agreement or the relevant Transaction
         Document (as the case may be), but the validity, enforceability or
         legality of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the relevant
         Transaction Document shall not be impaired.

9.8      INTEREST FOR LATE PAYMENT. Any sum owing by either party under this
         Agreement shall carry interest from (and excluding) the date on which
         it is payable until (and including) the date of actual payment at the
         Specified Rate; such interest will be compounded semi-annually and be
         payable after as well as before any judgment.

9.9      COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement and each of the other Transaction
         Documents may be entered into in any number of counterparts and by the
         parties thereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so
         executed and delivered shall be an original but each such Transaction
         Document shall not be effective until each party thereto has executed
         at least one counterpart, but all the counterparts for each Transaction
         Document shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

9.10     THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
         are made for the benefit of the respective parties hereto and thereto
         and their successors and permitted assigns only and are not intended to

3.2      ENFORCEABILITY OF AND COMPLIANCE WITH AGREEMENTS. In relation to each
