understands that the Units, the Common Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant
Common Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) have not been and will not be
registered under the U.S. Securities Act and that the sale contemplated hereby
is being made in reliance on the exemption from such registration requirement
provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D and accordingly, the Units, the Common
Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares will, upon issuance, be “restricted
securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the U.S. Securities Act;

investment company” (“PFIC”) within the meaning of Section 1291 of the United
States Internal Revenue Code;

(d)           it
understands and agrees that the financial statements of the Corporation have

efforts in the United States in connection with the offer and sale of such

fungible unrestricted securities; and (6) the contemplated sale is not a

      to Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement.

    

    
      	(a)  	
              Section
                1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following
                new
                defined terms in the appropriate alphabetical order:
                

            

    

    

    “Amendment
      No. 1”
      means
      Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement, dated as of January 23, 2007, among the
      Borrowers, Exeter Shipping Corp., as a new Borrower, Holdings, the
      Administrative Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

      Effective Date” means the date on which the conditions precedent to Amendment
      No. 1 have been satisfied.

    

    “Original
      Term Loan”
      has the
      meaning specified in the definition of “Term Facility”.

    

    “Term
      Loan Increase”
      has the
      meaning specified in the definition of “Term Facility”.

    

    (b)  Section
      1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definitions
      of
“Applicable Percentage” and “Term Facility” in their entirety and substituting
      therefor the following new definitions in the appropriate alphabetical
      order:

    

    “Applicable
      Percentage”
      means
      (a) in respect of the Term Facility, with respect to any Term Lender at any
      time, the percentage (carried out to the ninth decimal place) of the Term
      Facility (whether the Original Term Loan or the Term Loan Increase) represented
      by (i) on or prior to the Closing Date, such Term Lender’s Term Commitment to
      make the Original Term Loan at such time, (ii) on the Amendment No. 1 Effective
      Date, such Term Lender’s Term Commitment to make the Term Loan Increase at such
      time and (iii) thereafter, the principal amount of such Term Lender’s Term Loans

      the
      ninth decimal place) of the Revolving Credit Facility represented by such
      Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment at such time. If the
      commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender to make Revolving Credit Loans and
      the obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions have been
      terminated pursuant to Section 8.02, or if the Revolving Credit Commitments
      have
      expired, then the Applicable Percentage of each Revolving Credit Lender in
      respect of the Revolving Credit Facility shall be determined based on the
      Applicable Percentage of such Revolving Credit Lender in respect of the
      Revolving Credit Facility most recently in effect, giving effect to any
      subsequent assignments. The initial Applicable Percentage of each Lender in
      respect of each Facility is set forth opposite the name of such Lender on
      Schedule 2.01(a) or in the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such
      Lender becomes a party hereto, as applicable.

      in
      the original principal amount of $75,000,000 pursuant to Section 2.01(a) (the
      “Original Term Loan”), (b) the Term Loan advanced to the Borrowers on the
      Amendment No. 1 Effective Date in the original principal amount of $5,000,000
      pursuant to Section 2.01(a) (the “Term Loan Increase”) and (c) thereafter, the
      aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans of all Term Lenders outstanding
      at
      such time. 

    

    §2.
       Amendment
      to Section 2.01 of the Credit Agreement. Section
      2.01(a) of the

    Credit
      Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the first sentence therein and
      substituting therefore the following new sentence: “Subject
      to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Lender severally agrees
      to make a single loan to the Borrowers on the Closing Date in an amount not
      to
      exceed such Term Lender’s
      Applicable Percentage of the Original Term Loan; and in addition, each Term
      Lender severally agrees to make an additional loan to the Borrowers on the
      Amendment No. 1 Effective Date in an amount not to exceed such Term
      Lender’s
      Applicable

    Percentage
      of the Term Loan Increase.”

    

    

    §3.

    §4.
       Amendment
      to Schedule 2.01(a).
      Schedule
      2.01(a) to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety
      by Schedule 2.01(a) attached hereto as Exhibit A.

    

    §5.
       Limited
      Consent and Acknowledgments.

     

    (a)
       (i)
      Notwithstanding the notice requirements set forth in Section 2.14 of the Credit
      Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent, on a
      one-time basis, to the designation of Exeter Shipping Corp. as a Borrower under
      the Credit Agreement, such designation to be effective on the Amendment No.
      1
      Effective Date. The foregoing limited consent and acknowledgment does not
      establish a custom, course of dealing or conduct among the Administrative Agent,
      the Lenders, the Borrowers or any other Loan Party.

     

    (ii)
      New
      Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees, as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective
      Date, to be bound as a Borrower by all of the terms and conditions of the Credit
      Agreement with the same full force and effect and to the same extent as each
      of
      the other Borrowers. New Borrower further agrees, as of the Amendment No. 1
      Effective Date, that each reference in the Credit Agreement or in any of the
      other Loan Documents to a “Borrower” shall also mean and be a reference to New
      Borrower.

     

    (b)
       Notwithstanding
      Section 7.15 of the Credit Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent
      and the Lenders hereby consent, on a one-time basis, to the amendment of the
      Organization Documents of TBS Logistics, Ltd. for the sole purpose of changing
      such entity’s name from TBS Logistics, Ltd. to Mercury Marine Ltd. Promptly upon
      the effectiveness of such name change, the Administrative Borrower shall deliver
      to the Administrative Agent evidence of such name change. The foregoing limited
      consent and acknowledgment does not establish a custom, course of dealing or
      conduct among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Borrowers or any other
      Loan Party.

     

    §6.
       Representations
      and Warranties.
      Holdings
      and the Borrowers (including, for the avoidance of doubt, New Borrower) hereby
      represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent as follows:

    

        6.1
       Representation
      and Warranties in the Credit Agreement. The

      the
      avoidance of doubt, New Borrower) contained in the Credit Agreement were true
      and correct in all material respects as of the date when made and continue
      to be
      true and correct in all material respects on the date hereof except for (a)
      representations or warranties which expressly relate to an earlier date in
      which
      case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct, in all
      material respects, as of such earlier date, or (b) representations or warranties
      which are no longer true as a result of a transaction expressly permitted by
      the
      Credit Agreement.

    

        6.2
       Ratification,
      Etc. Except
      as
      expressly amended hereby, the Credit Agreement is hereby ratified and confirmed
      in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. The Credit
      Agreement shall, together with this Amendment, be read and construed as a single
      agreement. All references in the Credit Agreement or any related agreement
      or
      instrument shall hereafter refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
      

    

        6.3
       Authority,
      Etc. The
      execution and delivery by Holdings and the Borrowers (including, for the
      avoidance of doubt, New Borrower) of this Amendment and the performance by
      Holdings and the Borrowers of all of its agreements and obligations under the
      Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, are within Holdings and each Borrower’s
      corporate authority and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
      action on the part of Holdings and such Borrower.

    

        6.4
       Enforceability.
      This
      Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, constitute the legal,
      valid and binding obligations of Holdings and the Borrowers (including, for
      the
      avoidance of doubt, New Borrower) and are enforceable against Holdings and
      the
      Borrowers in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability is limited
      by
      bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to
      or
      affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and except to the
      extent that availability of the remedy of specific performance or injunctive
      relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding
      may
      be brought.
