2.    LOAN.

      2.1  Amount.  Subject  to the  terms  and  conditions  contained  in  this
Agreement,  Lender  will,  on the date  hereof,  make a loan to  Borrowers  (the
"Loan") in the  principal  amount of One Million Five Hundred  Thousand  Dollars
($1,500,000).  The proceeds of the Loan will be applied to the purchase price of
the vessel described in Section 1 of Schedule A attached hereto (the "Ship") and
the  payment of closing  costs  related  to the  purchase  of the Ship and those
related to this Agreement. The Loan will be evidenced by a Term Note in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Note").

      2.2  Repayment.  Accrued  interest on, and principal of, the Loan shall be
payable as set forth in Section 2 of Schedule A. All unpaid Obligations shall be
payable in full on the Maturity Date or as otherwise provided herein.

      2.3  Reserves.  A portion of the  proceeds  of the Loan (in the amount set
forth in Section 3 of Schedule A) has been  retained  by Lender,  designated  by
Lender as a reserve  for the  payment  of  interest,  fees and  installments  of
principal, as they become due and payable. Such retained loan proceeds, together

obligation  to pay  interest,  fees or  principal  when due,  whether or not the
Reserve is exhausted. The Reserve shall not be disbursed by Lender to Borrowers.
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Lender shall have no  obligation  to apply any
portion of the Reserve  following the  occurrence of a default by any Obligor in
the payment or performance of any obligation of Obligor under any Loan Document;
provided,  however,  in the event that the Reserve has not been  exhausted,  the
Reserve  shall be  distributed  to the  Lender  and  applied  to the  payment of
interest,  fees and  installments  of  principal on the Loan with respect to the
final two (2) installments on the Loan. The loan proceeds comprising the Reserve
shall accrue  interest in favor of Lender as part of the Loan.  Lender shall not
be  obligated  to  compensate  Borrowers  for use of the  funds  comprising  the
Reserve.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

      2.4 Taxes.  All payments  made by  Borrowers  hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall be made without setoff, compensation, counterclaim, or other
defense.  To the extent  permitted by applicable law, all payments  hereunder or
under the Loan Documents (including any payment of principal, interest, or fees)
to, or for the benefit,  of any Person shall be made by Borrowers free and clear
of and without  deduction  or  withholding  for, or account of, any taxes now or
hereinafter  imposed by any taxing  authority.  If  Borrowers  make any  payment
hereunder or under any other Loan Document in respect of which it is required by
applicable  law to deduct or withhold any taxes,  Borrowers  shall  increase the
payment  hereunder or under any such Loan Document such that after the reduction
for the amount of taxes withheld (and any taxes withheld or imposed with respect
to the additional  payments required under this Section 2.4), the amount paid to
Lender  equals  the amount  that was  payable  hereunder  or under any such Loan
Document without regard to this Section 2.4. To the extent a Borrower  withholds
any taxes on payments hereunder or under any Loan Document,  such Borrower shall
pay the full amount  deducted to the relevant taxing  authority  within the time
allowed for payment under  applicable  law and shall deliver to Lender within 30
days after such Borrower has made payment to such  authority a receipt issued by
such authority  evidencing the payment of all amounts so required to be deducted
or withheld from such payment.  Other than Lender's  income taxes,  if Lender is
required  by law to make any  payments  of any taxes on or with  respect  to any
amounts  received or receivable  hereunder or under any other Loan Document,  or
any  tax is  assessed  against  Lender  with  respect  to  amounts  received  or
receivable  hereunder or under any other Loan Document,  Borrowers will, jointly
and severally, indemnify Lender against (i) such tax (and any reasonable counsel
fees and  expenses  associated  with such tax) and (ii) any taxes  imposed  as a
result of the  receipt of the  payment  under this  Section  2.4. A  certificate
prepared in good faith as to the amount of such payment by Lender shall,  absent
manifest  error,  be  final,  conclusive,  and  binding  on all  parties  unless
Borrowers notify Lender in writing to the contrary within thirty days after such
certificate  is  rendered,  describing  the  nature  of any  alleged  errors  or
omissions.

3.    INTEREST AND FEES.

      3.1 Interest.  The Loan shall bear interest at the Interest Rate set forth
in Section 4 of Schedule A attached hereto;  provided, that after the occurrence
of an Event of Default,  the Loan shall, at Lender's option,  bear interest at a
rate per annum  equal to two  percent  (2.0 %) in  excess of the rate  otherwise
applicable thereto (the "Default Rate") until paid in full  (notwithstanding the
entry of any  judgment  against  Borrowers or the exercise of any other right or
remedy  by  Lender),   and  all  such  interest  shall  be  payable  on  demand.
Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary contained herein, the aggregate of all
interest  hereunder and charged or collected by Lender is not intended to exceed
the highest rate  permissible  under any applicable law, but if it should,  such
interest shall  automatically  be reduced to the extent necessary to comply with
applicable  law and Lender will  refund to  Borrowers  any such excess  interest
received by Lender.  Without  limiting the generality of the  foregoing,  if any
provision  of  this  Agreement  or any  of the  Loan  Documents  would  obligate
Borrowers or any Obligor to make any payment of interest or other amount payable
to Lender in an amount or  calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law
or would  result in a  receipt  by Lender of  interest  at a  criminal  rate (as
construed  under  the  Criminal  Code  (Canada)),   then   notwithstanding  that
provision,  that  amount or rate  shall be deemed  to have  been  adjusted  with
retroactive  effect to the maximum  amount or rate of interest,  as the case may
be, as would not be so prohibited by law or result in a receipt by the Lender of
interest  at a criminal  rate,  the  adjustment  to be  effected,  to the extent
necessary, as follows:

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

      (a)  firstly,  by reducing  the amount or rate of interest  required to be
paid to Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and

      (b)  thereafter,  by reducing  any fees,  commissions,  premiums and other
amounts  required to be paid to the Lender which would  constitute  interest for
purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

      Notwithstanding   this  Section  3.1,  and  after  giving  effect  to  all
adjustments  contemplated  thereby,  if Lender shall have  received an amount in
excess of the maximum permitted by the Criminal Code (Canada), then Borrowers or
the  relevant  Obligor  shall be  entitled,  by notice in writing to Lender,  to
obtain  reimbursement  from Lender in an amount equal to the excess, and pending
reimbursement,  the amount of the excess shall be deemed to be an amount payable
by Lender to Borrowers or the relevant Obligor.

      3.2 Fees.  Borrowers  shall pay Lender the  following  fees,  which are in
addition to all  interest  and other sums  payable by  Borrowers to Lender under
this Agreement, and are not refundable:

      (a) Closing  Commitment Fee. A closing  commitment fee (the "Closing Fee")
in the amount set forth in Section  5(a) of Schedule A, which shall be deemed to
be fully earned as of, and payable on, the date hereof.

      (b) Servicing Fee. A monthly  servicing fee (the  "Servicing  Fee") in the
amount set forth in Section 5(b) of Schedule A (expressed as a percentage of the
principal  of the Loan  then  outstanding),  in  consideration  of the  Lender's
administration  and other services pursuant to this Agreement for each month (or
part thereof), which shall be fully earned as of, and payable in advance on, the
date hereof and on the first day of each month  thereafter so long as any of the
Obligations are outstanding.

      3.3  Computation  of Interest  and Fees.  All  interest  and fees shall be
calculated daily on the principal balance of the Loan based on the actual number
of days  elapsed in a year of 360 days.  For the  purposes of the  Interest  Act
(Canada),  any amount of interest or fees calculated hereunder using 360, 365 or
366 days per year and  expressed  as an annual rate is equal to the said rate of
interest or fees  multiplied by the actual number of days  comprised  within the
calendar year, divided by 360, 365 or 366, as the case may be.

                                      -5-

Account  or  Chattel  Paper  or  grant  any  credits,   discounts,   allowances,
deductions,  return  authorizations  or the like with  respect to any Account or
Chattel  Paper;  except  that prior to the  occurrence  of an Event of  Default,
Borrowers  may take any of such  actions  in the  ordinary  course of  business,
provided that Borrowers promptly report the same to Lender.

      4.9 Access to Collateral,  Books and Records.  At reasonable times, and on
one Business Day's notice,  prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default,  and
at any time and with or  without  notice  after  the  occurrence  of an Event of
Default, Lender or its agents or mandataries shall have the right to inspect the
Collateral,  and the right to examine and copy Borrowers' books and records with
respect  thereto.  Lender shall take reasonable  steps to keep  confidential all
information  obtained in any such  inspection or  examination,  but Lender shall
have the right to disclose  any such  information  to its  auditors,  regulatory
agencies,  attorneys  and  participants,  and  pursuant to any subpoena or other
legal process. Borrowers agree to give Lender access to any or all of Borrowers'
premises to enable Lender to conduct such  inspections  and  examinations.  Such
inspections shall be at Borrowers' expense and the charge therefor shall be $950
per person  per day (or such  higher  amount as shall  represent  Lender's  then
current standard charge), plus out-of-pocket costs and expenses.

5.    REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS.

      To induce  Lender to enter  into this  Agreement,  Borrowers  jointly  and
severally represent, warrant and covenant as follows:

      5.1 Existence and Authority;  Ownership. Owner is duly organized,  validly
existing  and in good  standing  under  the  laws  of the  Province  of  British
Columbia, Canada. MGFC is duly organized,  validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware.  Owner is a wholly-owned  subsidiary of
MGFC, and MGFC is a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Guarantor (as defined in Section
5.17).  Borrowers are qualified and licensed to do business in all jurisdictions
in which any failure to do so would have a material  adverse  effect on them (or
either one of them).  The  execution,  delivery and  performance by Borrowers of
this  Agreement and all of the other Loan  Documents  have been duly and validly
authorized,  do not violate Borrowers'  organizational  documents, or any law or
any agreement or  instrument or any court order which is binding upon  Borrowers
or  their  property,   do  not  constitute   grounds  for  acceleration  of  any
indebtedness  or obligation  under any agreement or instrument  which is binding
upon Borrowers or their property,  and do not require the consent of any Person.
This  Agreement  and such  other  Loan  Documents  have been duly  executed  and
delivered by, and are enforceable against, Borrowers, and all other Obligors who
have signed them, in accordance with their respective terms.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

      5.2  Name.  The  names  of  Borrowers  set  forth in the  heading  to this
Agreement  are their  correct and  complete  legal names as of the date  hereof.
Borrowers  shall give Lender at least thirty days' prior  written  notice before
changing names or doing business under any other name.

      5.3 Title to Collateral.  Borrowers have good and marketable  title to the
Collateral.  The Collateral now is and will remain free and clear of any and all
Liens, charges, security interests,  encumbrances and adverse claims, other than
those in favor of the  Lender.  Lender now has,  and will  continue  to have,  a
first-priority  perfected and enforceable  security  interest in the Collateral,
and  Borrowers  will at all times defend Lender and the  Collateral  against all
claims of others.

      5.4  Jurisdiction  of  Organization;  Location  of  Collateral.  Owner  is
organized under the laws of the Province of British  Columbia,  Canada.  MGFC is
organized  under the laws of the State of Delaware.  Borrowers'  chief executive
offices and their books and records  relating to the  Collateral  are located at
the  addresses  set forth in the  preamble to this  Agreement or 1818 N. Farwell
Avenue,  Milwaukee,  Wisconsin 53202. Borrowers will give Lender at least thirty
days' prior written notice before  changing  either  Borrower's  jurisdiction of
organization,  opening any  additional  place of  business,  changing  its chief
executive office or the location of its books and records,  or moving any of the
Collateral  (other than the Ship) to a location  other than as set forth  above,
and will  execute and deliver all  financing  statements  and other  agreements,
instruments  and  documents  which  Lender  shall  require as a result  thereof.
Borrowers shall keep the Ship in the waters of Canada at all times and Borrowers
shall cause,  at Borrowers'  expense,  a third party  service,  satisfactory  to
Lender,  to monitor the location of the Ship for Lender at all times.  Borrowers
shall deliver monthly statements in form and substance satisfactory to Lender of
all unpaid  expenses in connection with the Ship, the non-payment of which could
give rise to a lien upon the Ship, and, promptly upon receipt thereof, notice of
any claims for such  expenses  and  Borrowers  shall  deliver to Lender  monthly
statements  in form and  substance  satisfactory  to  Lender  of all  such  paid
expenses, together with proof of payment of such expenses.

      5.5 Financial Condition,  Statements and Reports. All financial statements
delivered  to  Lender  by or on  behalf  of  Borrowers  have  been  prepared  in
conformity  with GAAP and completely and fairly reflect the financial  condition
of Borrowers,  at the times and for the periods therein stated. Between the last
date  covered by any such  financial  statement  provided to Lender and the date
hereof there has been no material  adverse change in the financial  condition or
business of Borrowers (or either one of them). Borrowers are solvent and able to
pay their debts as they come due, and have sufficient  capital to carry on their
business  as now  conducted  and as  proposed to be  conducted.  All  schedules,
reports and other information and documentation delivered by Borrowers to Lender
with respect to the Collateral  are, or will be, when delivered,  true,  correct
and complete as of the date delivered or the date specified therein.

      5.6 Tax Returns and Payments.  Borrowers have timely filed all tax returns
and reports  required by applicable law, have timely paid all applicable  taxes,
assessments,  deposits and contributions  owing by Borrowers and will timely pay
all such  items in the  future as they  became due and  payable.  Borrowers  are
unaware of any claims or  adjustments  proposed for any of Borrowers'  prior tax
years  that  could  result in  additional  taxes  becoming  due and  payable  by
Borrowers. Borrowers have paid, and shall continue to pay, all amounts necessary
to fund all present and future  pension,  benefit,  profit  sharing and deferred
compensation  plans, if any, in accordance with their terms,  and Borrowers have
not withdrawn from  participation in, permitted partial or complete  termination
of, or  permitted  the  occurrence  of any other event with respect to, any such
plan which could result in any liability of  Borrowers,  including any liability
to any governmental agency.

                                      -10-

      5.7 Compliance with Laws. Borrowers have complied in all material respects
with all  provisions of all applicable  laws and  regulations,  including  those
relating to Borrowers'  ownership of real or personal property,  the conduct and
licensing of Borrowers'  business,  the payment and withholding of taxes, ERISA,
the  Canada  Pension  Plan  Act  (Canada),  the  Income  Tax Act  (Canada),  the
Employment  Insurance  Act  (Canada) and the Workers  Compensation  Act (British
Columbia) and other employee matters, safety and environmental matters.

      5.8  Litigation;  Indebtedness.  Section 6(a) of Schedule A discloses  all
claims,  proceedings,  litigation or  investigations  pending or (to the best of
Borrowers'  knowledge)  threatened against  Borrowers.  There is no claim, suit,
litigation,  proceeding or  investigation  pending or (to the best of Borrowers'
knowledge)  threatened  by or against  or  affecting  Borrowers  in any court or
before any governmental  agency (or any basis therefor known to Borrowers) which
may result,  either  separately  or in the  aggregate,  in any material  adverse
change in the  financial  condition or business of  Borrowers  (or either one of
them), or in any material  impairment in the ability of Borrowers (or either one
of them) to carry on their  business in  substantially  the same manner as it is
now being  conducted.  Borrowers  will promptly  inform Lender in writing of any
claim,  proceeding,  litigation  or  investigation  in the future  threatened or
instituted by or against Borrowers (or either one of them).  Except as set forth
on Section  6(b) of  Schedule A,  neither  Borrower is  obligated  (directly  or
indirectly), for any loans or other indebtedness for borrowed money.

      5.9 Use of  Proceeds.  All  proceeds  of the Loan  will be used  solely to
acquire the Ship,  and for costs  related  thereto and in  connection  with this
Agreement.

      5.10 Insurance.  Borrowers will at all times carry property, liability and
other  insurance  (including  hull and  machinery  coverage and  protection  and
indemnity  coverage),  with  insurers  acceptable  to  Lender,  in such form and
amounts,  and with such  deductibles  and  other  provisions,  as  Lender  shall
require,  and Borrowers will provide  evidence of such  insurance to Lender,  so
that Lender is satisfied that such insurance is, at all times, in full force and
effect. Each property insurance policy shall name Lender as loss payee and shall
contain a lender's loss payable  endorsement in form acceptable to Lender,  each
liability insurance policy shall name Lender as an additional insured,  and each
business interruption insurance policy shall be collaterally assigned to Lender,
all in form and  substance  satisfactory  to Lender.  All  policies of insurance
shall provide that they may not be cancelled or changed  without at least thirty
days' prior written notice to Lender, shall contain breach of warranty coverage,
and shall  otherwise  be in form and  substance  satisfactory  to  Lender.  Upon
receipt of the proceeds of any such insurance,  Lender shall apply such proceeds
in  reduction  of  the  Obligations  as  Lender  shall  determine  in  its  sole
discretion. Borrowers will promptly deliver to Lender copies of all reports made
to insurance companies.

                                      -11-

      5.11 Financial and Collateral  Reports.  Borrowers have kept and will keep
adequate records and books of account with respect to their business  activities
and the  Collateral  in which proper  entries are made in  accordance  with GAAP
reflecting  all its  financial  transactions,  and will cause to be prepared and
furnished to Lender the following  (all to be prepared in accordance  with GAAP,

such change is disclosed to Lender):

      (a) Annual Statements.  Not later than one hundred and five days after the
close  of  each  fiscal  year  of  Borrowers,  unqualified  (except  for  (i)  a

going concern) audited financial  statements of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries
as of the end of such year, on a consolidated and consolidating basis, certified
by a firm of independent  certified  public  accountants of recognized  standing
selected by Borrowers  but  acceptable  to Lender,  together  with a copy of any
management  letter  issued  in  connection  therewith  and a  letter  from  such
accountants acknowledging that Lender is relying on such financial statements;

      (b) Monthly  Statements.  Not later than twenty-five days after the end of
each month  hereafter,  including  the last  month of  Borrowers'  fiscal  year,
unaudited interim financial  statements of Borrowers as of the end of such month
and of the portion of Borrowers' fiscal year then elapsed, on a consolidated and
consolidating  basis,  certified  by the  principal  financial  officer  of each
Borrower  as  prepared  in  accordance  with  GAAP  and  fairly  presenting  the
consolidated  financial position and results of operations of Borrowers for such
month and period subject only to changes from audit and year-end adjustments and
except that such statements need not contain notes;

      (c) Other  Information.  Such other data and  information  (financial  and
otherwise) as Lender, from time to time, may reasonably request, bearing upon or
related  to the  Collateral  or  Borrowers'  financial  condition  or results of
operations.

      5.12 Litigation Cooperation.  Should any third-party suit or proceeding be
instituted by or against  Lender with respect to any Collateral or in any manner
relating  to  Borrowers,  Borrowers  shall,  without  expense  to  Lender,  make
available Borrowers and their officers,  employees, agents and mandataries,  and
Borrowers' books and records, without charge, to the extent that Lender may deem
them  reasonably  necessary  in order to  prosecute  or defend  any such suit or
proceeding.

      5.13  Maintenance  of  Collateral.  Borrowers  will  maintain  all  of the
Collateral  in good working  condition,  ordinary  wear and tear  excepted,  and
Borrowers will not use any of the Collateral for any unlawful purpose. Borrowers
will immediately  advise Lender in writing of any material loss or damage to the
Collateral,  or any portion thereof.  Borrowers will not, without Lender's prior
written consent, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral or
any interest therein.

      5.14  Notification  of Changes.  Borrowers will promptly  notify Lender in
writing of any change in  officers  or  directors,  the  opening of any new bank
account  or other  deposit  account,  or any  material  adverse  changes  in the
business  or  financial  affairs  of  Borrowers  (or  either one of them) or the
existence of any circumstance which would make any representation or warranty of
Borrowers  untrue in any material respect or constitute a material breach of any
covenant of Borrowers.

                                      -12-

      5.15 Further  Assurances.  Borrowers agree, at their expense,  to take all

promissory notes, security agreements, agreements with landlords, mortgagees and
processors and other bailees,  subordination  and  intercreditor  agreements and

(including  attorneys'  fees) incurred by Lender in connection with any claim by
any broker relating to the transactions described in this Agreement.

      5.18 Timeshares and Similar Arrangements.  Agreements with respect to time
share  sales  or  associated   arrangements  shall  be  in  form  and  substance
satisfactory to Lender,  and shall in no event affect or impair  Borrower's good
and marketable title to the Collateral,  result in any Liens, charges,  security
interests,  encumbrances and adverse claims on the Collateral,  other than those
in favor of the Lender,  or otherwise  affect or impair Lender's  first-priority
perfected and  enforceable  security  interest in the Collateral or other rights
and remedies  under this  Agreement or any Loan  Documents  (including,  without
limitation, with respect to Accounts and insurance proceeds).

      5.19  Negative  Covenants.  Borrowers  will not,  without  Lender's  prior
written consent, (i) merge,  amalgamate or consolidate with another Person, form

6.    RELEASE AND INDEMNITY.

      6.1 Release.  Borrowers hereby release Lender and its Affiliates and their
respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents and mandataries and
any other Person affiliated with or representing Lender (the "Released Parties")
from any and all liability  arising from acts or omissions  under or pursuant to
this  Agreement,  whether based on errors of judgment or mistake of law or fact,
except for those arising from willful  misconduct.  However,  in no circumstance
will any of the Released  Parties be liable for lost profits or other special or
consequential damages.

      6.2 Indemnity. Borrowers hereby agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify
the Released Parties and hold them harmless from and against any and all claims,
debts, liabilities,  demands, obligations, actions, causes of action, penalties,
costs and expenses (including  attorneys' fees), of every nature,  character and
description,  which the  Released  Parties  may  sustain or incur  based upon or
arising out of the Collateral or any other security for the Loan, including with
limitation  any  use of  the  Ship  by  Borrowers,  or  any of the  transactions
contemplated  by  this  Agreement  or the  other  Loan  Documents  or any of the
Obligations,  any claim by any  broker  relating  to the Ship or the Loan or any
other matter, cause or thing whatsoever  occurred,  done, omitted or suffered to
be done by Lender  relating to  Borrowers  or the  Obligations  (except any such
amounts  sustained  or incurred as the result of the willful  misconduct  of the
Released  Parties).  Notwithstanding  any  provision  in this  Agreement  to the
contrary,  the  indemnity  agreement set forth in this Section shall survive any
termination of this Agreement.

      6.3 Currencies.

      (a) U.S. Dollars.  All advances,  charges and fees of Borrowers to Lender,
and all financial and collateral reports,  shall be in United States dollars and
all  collections  and payments of Borrowers to Lender shall be in United  States
dollars.

      (b)  Currency  Indemnity.  If, for the  purposes of obtaining or enforcing
judgment in any court in any jurisdiction  with respect to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document,  it becomes  necessary to convert into the currency of such
jurisdiction  (the  "Judgment  Currency") any amount due under this Agreement or
under any other Loan Document in any currency  other than the Judgment  Currency
(the "Currency Due"), then, to the extent permitted by law,  conversion shall be
made at the Currency  Exchange  Rate on the Business Day before the day on which
judgment is given. In the event that there is a change in the Currency  Exchange
Rate  between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and
the date of  receipt by the Lender of the  amount  due,  Borrowers  shall to the
extent  permitted by law, on the date of receipt by Lender,  pay such additional
amounts, if any, or be entitled to receive  reimbursement of such amount, if any
as may be necessary to ensure that the amount received by Lender on such date is
the amount in the  Judgment  Currency  which  (when  converted  at the  currency
exchange rate on the date of receipt by Lender in accordance with normal banking
procedures  in the  relevant  jurisdiction)  is the  amount  then due under this
Agreement or such other Loan  Document in the Currency Due. If the amount of the
Currency  Due which the Lender is so able to purchase is less than the amount of
the Currency Due originally due to it,  Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted
by law,  jointly and  severally,  indemnify  and save Lender  harmless  from and
against  loss or damage  arising as a result of such  deficiency.  To the extent
permitted by law, this indemnity shall (i) constitute an obligation separate and
independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents,  (ii) give rise to a separate and  independent  cause of action,
(iii) apply  irrespective of any indulgence granted by Lender from time to time,
(iv) survive the payment in full of the  Obligations and the termination of this
Agreement,  and (v)  continue  in full  force  and  effect  notwithstanding  any
judgment  or order for a  liquidated  sum in respect of an amount due under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or under any judgment or order.

      7.1 Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date,  Borrowers  shall pay in full all
Obligations,  whether or not all or any part of such  Obligations  are otherwise
then due and payable.  This  Agreement and the other Loan Documents and Lender's
security  interests in and Liens upon the Collateral,  and all  representations,
warranties and covenants of Borrowers contained herein and therein, shall remain
in full  force and effect  after the  Maturity  Date  until all of the  monetary
Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full.

agents or mandataries or any Obligor is untrue or misleading;  (ii) if Borrowers
fail to pay when due any  principal or interest on the Loan;  (iii) if Borrowers
breach any covenant or obligation  contained in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or fail to perform any other non-monetary Obligation; (iv) if any levy,
assessment,  attachment,  seizure,  lien or  encumbrance is made or permitted to
exist on all or any part of the  Collateral or any other  security for the Loan;
(v)  if one  or  more  judgments  aggregating  in  excess  of  $150,000,  or any
injunction or attachment,  is obtained against Borrowers (or either one of them)
or any Obligor and remains unstayed for more than ten days or is enforced;  (vi)
the occurrence of any default under any financing agreement,  security agreement
or other  agreement,  instrument  or  document  executed  and  delivered  by (A)
Borrowers  (or  either  one of them) or any  Obligor  with,  or in favor of, any
Person  other  than  Lender  or (B)  Borrowers  (or  either  one of them) or any
Affiliate  of  Borrowers  or any  Obligor  with,  or in favor of,  Lender or any
Affiliate of Lender;  (vii) the  dissolution,  termination  of existence in good
standing, insolvency, business failure or suspension or cessation of business as

a receiver, trustee, liquidator, monitor, interim receiver, receiver and manager
or  sequestrator  (or similar  official) or custodian for all or any part of the
property of, or an  assignment  for the benefit of creditors  by,  Borrowers (or
either one of them) or any Obligor,  or the  commencement  of any  proceeding by
Borrowers  (or  either  one of them) or any  Obligor  under any  reorganization,
bankruptcy,  insolvency,  arrangement,  readjustment  of  debt,  dissolution  or
liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction,  now or in the future in effect,
or if Borrowers (or either one of them) call a meeting of creditors;  (viii) the
commencement of any proceeding  against Borrowers (or either one of them) or any
Obligor  under  any   reorganization,   bankruptcy,   insolvency,   arrangement,
readjustment  of  debt,  dissolution  or  liquidation  law  or  statute  of  any
jurisdiction,  now or in the  future in  effect;  (ix) the  actual or  attempted
revocation or  termination  of, or limitation or denial of liability  upon,  any
guaranty of the Obligations,  or any security document securing the Obligations,
by any Obligor;  (x) an actual or threatened  indictment of Borrowers (or either
one of them) or any  Obligor  under any  criminal  statute  or  commencement  or
threatened  commencement of criminal or civil proceedings  against Borrowers (or
either one of them) or any Obligor, pursuant to which the potential penalties or
remedies sought or available include forfeiture of any property of Borrowers (or
either one of them) or such  Obligor;  (xi) if Lender  determines  in good faith
that the Collateral is  insufficient to fully secure the Obligations or that the
prospect of payment of  performance of the  Obligations  is impaired;  (xii) the
commencement  of any  proceeding  against  the  Ship,  or  (xiii) if an Event of
Default occurs under any Loan and Security  Agreement or other agreement between
Lender and an Affiliate of Borrowers.

      8.2  Remedies.  Upon the  occurrence  of an Event of  Default,  Lender may
exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it under the UCC
and any other  applicable law in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights and
remedies  expressly  granted  in  this  Agreement  or in any of the  other  Loan
Documents,  and all of Lender's  rights and  remedies  shall be  cumulative  and
non-exclusive to the extent  permitted by law. In particular,  but not by way of
limitation of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and at
any time thereafter,  Lender, at its option, and without notice or demand of any
kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrowers),  may do any one or
more  of the  following:  (i)  accelerate  and  declare  all or any  part of the
Obligations to be immediately due, payable and performable,  notwithstanding any
deferred or  installment  payments  allowed by the Note or any other  instrument
evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations; (ii) take possession of any or
all of the Collateral  wherever it may be found, and for that purpose  Borrowers
hereby  authorize  Lender,  without  judicial  process,  to  enter  onto  any of
Borrowers'  premises  without  interference  to search for, take  possession of,
keep,  store, or remove any of the Collateral,  and remain (or cause a custodian
to remain) on the premises in exclusive  control thereof,  without charge for so
long  as  Lender  deems  it  reasonably  necessary  in  order  to  complete  the
enforcement  of its  rights  under  this  Agreement  or any  of the  other  Loan
Documents;  provided,  that if  Lender  seeks to take  possession  of any of the
Collateral by court process, Borrowers hereby irrevocably waive (A) any bond and
any surety or security  relating  thereto required by law as an incident to such
possession,  (B) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit
or action to recover  possession  thereof,  and (C) any requirement  that Lender
retain  possession of, and not dispose of, any such Collateral until after trial
or  final  judgment;  (iv)  require  Borrowers  to  assemble  any  or all of the
Collateral  and make it available to Lender at one or more places  designated by
Lender which are reasonably  convenient to Lender and  Borrowers,  and to remove
the  Collateral to such  locations as Lender may deem  advisable;  and (v) sell,
lease or  otherwise  dispose of any of the  Collateral  at one or more public or
private sales, in lots or in bulk, for cash,  exchange or other property,  or on
credit (a "Sale"), and to adjourn any such Sale from time to time without notice
other than oral  announcement at the time scheduled for Sale (and, in connection
therewith,  (A) Lender shall have the right to conduct  such Sale on  Borrowers'
premises without charge, for such times as Lender deems reasonable,  on Lender's
premises,  or elsewhere,  and the Collateral need not be located at the place of
Sale, (B) Lender may directly or through any of its Affiliates purchase or lease
any of the Collateral at any such public  disposition,  and if permissible under
applicable law, at any private disposition, and (C) any Sale of Collateral shall
not relieve  Borrowers of any liability  Borrowers may have if any Collateral is
defective as to title, physical condition or otherwise at the time of the Sale).
Borrowers recognize that if Borrowers fail to perform,  observe or discharge any
of their  Obligations  under this  Agreement  or any of the Loan  Documents,  no
remedy at law will  provide  adequate  relief to Lender,  and agree that  Lender
shall be entitled to temporary and permanent  injunctive relief in any such case
without the necessity of proving actual  damages.  Any  notification of intended
disposition  of any of the  Collateral  required  by law will be  deemed to be a
reasonable authenticated  notification of disposition if given at least ten (10)
days prior to such  disposition  and such notice shall (i)  describe  Lender and
Borrowers,  (ii)  describe  the  Collateral  that is the subject of the intended
disposition, (iii) state the method of the intended disposition, (iv) state that
Borrowers are entitled to an accounting of the Obligations and state the charge,
if any,  for an  accounting  and (v)  state  the  time and  place of any  public
disposition  or the time after which any private sale is to be made.  Lender may
disclaim any warranties that might arise in connection  with the sale,  lease or
other  disposition  of the  Collateral  and has no  obligation  to  provide  any
warranties at such time.  Exercise or partial  exercise by Lender of one or more
of its rights or  remedies  shall not be deemed an  election  or bar Lender from
subsequent  exercise or partial  exercise of any other rights or  remedies.  The
failure or delay of Lender to exercise any rights or remedies  shall not operate
as a waiver  thereof,  but all rights and remedies  shall continue in full force
and effect until all of the Obligations  have been fully paid and performed.  If
any  Collateral  is sold or  leased by  Lender  on  credit  terms or for  future
delivery, the Obligations shall not be reduced as a result thereof until payment
is collected by Lender.

      8.3 Application of Proceeds.  Subject to any application  required by law,
any  proceeds  of any  disposition  by  Lender of any of the  Collateral  may be
applied by Lender to the payment of expenses in connection  with the Collateral,
including,  without limitation,  legal expenses and reasonable  attorneys' fees,
and any balance of such  proceeds may be applied by Lender toward the payment of
such of the  Obligations,  and in such order of application,  as Lender may from
time  to time  elect  in its  sole  discretion.  Any  surplus  shall  be paid to
Borrowers or other persons legally entitled thereto;  but Borrowers shall remain
liable to Lender for any deficiency. If Lender, in its sole discretion, directly
or indirectly  enters into a deferred  payment or other credit  transaction with
any  purchaser  at any Sale,  Lender shall have the option,  exercisable  at any
time,  in its  sole  discretion,  of  either  reducing  the  Obligations  by the
principal  amount  of the  purchase  price or  deferring  the  reduction  of the
Obligations until the actual receipt by Lender of the cash therefor.

9.    GENERAL PROVISIONS.

      9.1  Notices.  All  notices to be given under this  Agreement  shall be in
writing and shall be given  either  personally,  by reputable  private  delivery
service, by regular first-class mail or certified mail return receipt requested,
addressed  to Lender or Borrowers as set forth in Section 9 of Schedule A, or at
any other address (or to any other  facsimile  number)  designated in writing by
one party to the other party in the manner  prescribed  in this Section 9.1. All
notices  shall be deemed to have been given when  received  or when  delivery is
refused by the recipient.

      9.2 Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement,  or the application
thereof to any party or circumstance, is held to be void or unenforceable by any
court of competent  jurisdiction,  such defect shall not affect the remainder of
this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect.

      9.3 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the
final,  entire and complete agreement between Borrowers and Lender and supersede
all prior and contemporaneous negotiations, oral representations and agreements,
all of which are merged and integrated  into this  Agreement.  THERE ARE NO ORAL
UNDERSTANDINGS,  REPRESENTATIONS  OR AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES THAT ARE NOT
SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

      9.4  Waivers.  The  failure  of  Lender  at any time or  times to  require
Borrowers to strictly comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement or any
other Loan  Documents  shall not waive or diminish  any right of Lender later to
demand and receive strict compliance therewith.  Any waiver of any default shall
not waive or affect any other default, whether prior or subsequent,  and whether
or not  similar.  None of the  provisions  of this  Agreement  or any other Loan
Document  shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or  knowledge of Lender
or its agents or mandataries or employees, but only by a specific written waiver
signed by an authorized officer of Lender and delivered to Borrowers.  Borrowers
waive  demand,  protest,  notice of protest  and notice of default or  dishonor,
notice of payment and nonpayment, release, compromise,  settlement, extension or
renewal  of any  commercial  paper,  Instrument,  Account,  General  Intangible,
Document,  Chattel  Paper,  Investment  Property or guaranty at any time held by
Lender  on which  Borrowers  (or  either  one of them)  are or may in any way be
liable,  and  notice of any  action  taken by Lender  and  notice of  acceptance
hereof.

      9.5 Amendment.  This Agreement may not be amended or modified  except in a
writing executed by Borrowers and a duly authorized officer of Lender.

      9.6  Time  of  Essence.  Time  is of the  essence  in the  performance  by
Borrowers of each and every  obligation  under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.

      9.7 Attorneys Fees and Costs.  Borrowers  shall  reimburse  Lender for all
reasonable  attorneys' and paralegals'  fees (including  in-house  attorneys and
paralegals  employed  by  Lender)  and  all  filing,  recording,  search,  title
insurance, appraisal, audit, and other costs incurred by Lender, pursuant to, in
connection  with,  or  relating  to this  Agreement,  including  all  reasonable
attorneys'  fees and costs Lender incurs to prepare and negotiate this Agreement
and the other Loan  Documents;  to obtain legal advice in  connection  with this
Agreement  and  the  other  Loan  Documents  or  Borrowers  or any  Obligor;  to
administer  this Agreement and the other Loan  Documents  (including the cost of
periodic financing statement,  tax lien and other searches conducted by Lender);
to enforce, or seek to enforce, any of its rights; to commence, intervene in, or
defend any action or proceeding;  to enforce and protect,  or to seek to enforce
and protect,  any of its rights and interests in any bankruptcy case filed by or
against Borrowers, including by initiating and prosecuting any motion for relief
from the automatic  stay and by  initiating,  prosecuting or defending any other
contested matter or adversary proceeding in bankruptcy; to file or prosecute any
probate claim, bankruptcy claim,  third-party claim, or other claim; to examine,
audit,  copy, and inspect any of the  Collateral or any of Borrowers'  books and
records;  to protect,  obtain  possession  of,  lease,  dispose of, or otherwise
enforce  Lender's  security  interests  in,  the  Collateral;  and to  otherwise
represent  Lender in any  litigation  relating to Borrowers  or any Obligor.  If
either Lender or Borrowers files any lawsuit  against the other  predicated on a
breach of this Agreement,  the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled
to recover  its  reasonable  costs and  attorneys'  fees,  including  reasonable
attorneys'  fees and costs  incurred in the  enforcement  of,  execution upon or
defense of any order, decree,  award or judgment.  All attorneys' fees and costs
to which  Lender may be entitled  pursuant  to this  Section  shall  immediately
become part of the Obligations,  shall be due on demand, and shall bear interest
at a  rate  equal  to  the  highest  interest  rate  applicable  to  any  of the
Obligations.

      9.8 Benefit of Agreement;  Assignability. The provisions of this Agreement
shall be binding  upon and inure to the  benefit of the  respective  successors,
assigns,  heirs,  beneficiaries  and  representatives  of Borrowers  and Lender;
provided,  that  Borrowers  may not assign or  transfer  any  rights  under this
Agreement  without  the prior  written  consent  of Lender,  and any  prohibited
assignment  shall be void. No consent by Lender to any assignment  shall release
Borrowers from liability for any of the Obligations. Lender shall have the right
to assign all or any of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, and
to sell  participating  interests  therein,  to one or more other  Persons,  and
Borrowers agree to execute all agreements,  instruments and documents  requested
by Lender in connection with each such assignment and participation.

      9.9 Headings;  Construction.  Section and subsection  headings are used in
this  Agreement  only for  convenience,  and do not affect the  meanings  of the
provisions  that they  precede.  This  Agreement  has been  fully  reviewed  and
negotiated  between the parties and no  uncertainty  or ambiguity in any term or
provision  of this  Agreement  shall be  construed  strictly  against  Lender or
Borrowers under any rule of construction or otherwise.

      9.12  Lender   Right  of  First   Refusal;   Cross-Collateralization   and
Cross-Default.  If at any time  Borrowers  receive  from a third party an offer,
terms  sheet or  commitment  or makes a proposal  accepted  by any Person  which
provides for any type of financing to or for  Borrowers  (or either one of them)
that  Borrowers  desire to accept  and  proceed  to close  with such  Person (an
"Offer"),  Borrowers shall immediately  notify such third party making the Offer
of Lender's rights hereunder and shall further  immediately notify Lender of the
Offer in writing  (including all material terms of the Offer.) Lender shall have
twenty  (20)  calendar  days after  receipt  of such  notice to agree to provide
similar financing in the place of such Person upon  substantially the same terms
and conditions (or terms more favorable to Borrowers) as set forth in the Offer.
Lender shall notify Borrowers of Lender's acceptance of the Offer, in which case
Borrowers shall obtain such financing from Lender and shall not accept the Offer
from such other Person.  If no  acceptance  notice has been received from Lender
within the twenty (20) calendar  days,  Borrowers may  consummate the Offer with
the other Person on the terms and conditions  set forth in the Offer.  If at any
time Borrowers (or either one of them) or any of its Affiliates are parties to a
Loan and Security  Agreement or other  agreement with Lender or its  Affiliates,
Borrowers  acknowledge  and agree  that such  arrangements  are  intended  to be
cross-collateralized and to cross-default.

      9.13 Joint and Several Liability.

      (a) Each of the parties  undersigned as a Borrower is accepting  joint and
several liability  hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration
of the financial  accommodations  to be provided by Lender under this Agreement,
for the  mutual  benefit,  directly  and  indirectly,  of  each  of them  and in
consideration  of the  undertakings  of the  other to accept  joint and  several
liability for the Obligations.

      (b) Each of the parties undersigned as a Borrower,  jointly and severally,
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally  accepts, not merely as a surety but also
as a co-debtor,  joint and several liability with the other, with respect to the
payment and performance of all of the Obligations, it being the intention of the
parties  hereto  that  all  the  Obligations  shall  be the  joint  and  several
obligations  of  each  Person  composing  a  Borrower  without   preferences  or
distinction among them.

      (c) If and to the extent that any of the parties undersigned as a Borrower
shall fail to make any payment  with  respect to any of the  Obligations  as and
when due or to  perform  any of the  Obligations  in  accordance  with the terms
thereof, then in each such event the other Person composing a Borrower will make
such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.

      (d)  The  Obligations  of each  Person  composing  a  Borrower  under  the
provisions  of this Section  constitute  the absolute  and  unconditional,  full
recourse  Obligations of each Person  composing a Borrower  enforceable  against
each  of the  parties  undersigned  as a  Borrower  to the  full  extent  of its
properties   and  assets,   irrespective   of  the   validity,   regularity   or
enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever.

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

      (e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,  each Person
composing a Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several
liability,  notice of any advances  issued under or pursuant to this  Agreement,
notice of the occurrence of any Default,  Event of Default, or of any demand for
any  payment  under  this  Agreement,  notice of any action at any time taken or
omitted by Lender under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement
of diligence or to mitigate damages and,  generally,  to the extent permitted by
applicable  law, all  demands,  notices and other  formalities  of every kind in
connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement).
Each Person  composing a Borrower  hereby  assents to, and waives notice of, any
extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations,
the acceptance of any payment of any of the  Obligations,  the acceptance of any
partial payment thereon, any waiver,  consent or other action or acquiescence by
Lender at any time or times in respect of any default by any Person  composing a
Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant,  condition or
provision of this Agreement,  any and all other indulgences whatsoever by Lender
in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition,  substitution or
release,  in whole or in part, at any time or times,  of any security for any of
the Obligations or the addition,  substitution or release,  in whole or in part,
of any Person  composing a Borrower.  Without  limiting  the  generality  of the
foregoing,  each of the parties  undersigned as a Borrower  assents to any other
action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of Lender  with  respect
to the  failure by any Person  composing  a Borrower  to comply  with any of its
respective Obligations,  including,  without limitation, any failure strictly or
diligently  to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply  fully with
applicable laws or regulations  thereunder,  which might, but for the provisions
of this Section  afford  grounds for  terminating,  discharging or relieving any
Person  composing a Borrower,  in whole or in part,  from any of its Obligations
under this Section,  it being the intention of each Person  composing a Borrower
that,  so long  as any of the  Obligations  hereunder  remain  unsatisfied,  the
Obligations of such Person  composing a Borrower under this Section shall not be
discharged   except  by  performance  and  then  only  to  the  extent  of  such
performance.  The  Obligations  of each Person  composing a Borrower  under this
Section  shall not be diminished  or rendered  unenforceable  by any winding up,
reorganization,  arrangement, liquidation,  reconstruction or similar proceeding
with respect to any Person composing a Borrower or Lender. The joint and several
liability of the Persons  composing a Borrower  hereunder shall continue in full
force and effect  notwithstanding  any absorption,  merger,  amalgamation or any
other change  whatsoever in the name,  constitution or place of formation of any
of the Persons composing a Borrower or Lender.

      (f) Each Person composing a Borrower represents and warrants to Lender and
Lenders that it is currently  informed of the  financial  condition of Borrowers
and of all other  circumstances  which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which
bear upon the risk of nonpayment  of the  Obligations.  Each Person  composing a
Borrower  further  represents  and  warrants  to  Lender  that it has  read  and
understands  the  terms  and  conditions  of the  Loan  Documents.  Each  Person
composing a Borrower hereby  covenants that it will continue to keep informed of
Borrowers' financial condition,  the financial condition of guarantors,  if any,
and of all  other  circumstances  which  bear  upon  the risk of  nonpayment  or
nonperformance of the Obligations.

      (g) The  provisions of this Section are made for the benefit of Lender and
its respective  successors  and assigns,  and may be enforced by it or them from
time to time against any or all of the Persons  composing a Borrower as often as
occasion  therefor  may arise and  without  requirement  on the part of  Lender,
successor  or assign  first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise
any of its or their rights against any of the other Persona composing a Borrower
or to exhaust  any  remedies  available  to it or them  against any of the other
Persons  composing  a  Borrower  or to resort  to any  other  source or means of
obtaining  payment  of any of the  Obligations  hereunder  or to elect any other
remedy.  The  provisions of this Section shall remain in effect until all of the
Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any
time,  any  payment,  or  any  part  thereof,  made  in  respect  of  any of the
Obligations,  is rescinded  or must  otherwise be restored or returned by Lender
upon  the  insolvency,  bankruptcy  or  reorganization  of any  of  the  Persons
composing  a  Borrower,  or  otherwise,  the  provisions  of this  Section  will
forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

      (h) Each of the Persons  composing a Borrower  hereby  agrees that it will
not enforce any of its rights of contribution  or subrogation  against the other
Persons  composing  a Borrower  with  respect to any  liability  incurred  by it
hereunder or under any of the other Loan  Documents,  any payments made by it to
Lender  with  respect  to any  of the  Obligations  or any  collateral  security
therefor  until  such time as all of the  Obligations  have been paid in full in
cash.  Any claim which any of the  parties  undersigned  as a Borrower  may have
against any other party with  respect to any  payments  to Lender  hereunder  or
under any other Loan Documents are hereby  expressly made subordinate and junior
in right of payment,  without  limitation as to any increases in the Obligations
arising  hereunder or  thereunder,  to the prior  payment in full in cash of the
Obligations  and,  in the  event of any  insolvency,  bankruptcy,  receivership,
liquidation,  reorganization  or other similar  proceeding under the laws of any
jurisdiction relating to any of the parties undersigned as a Borrower, its debts
or its assets,  whether voluntary or involuntary,  all such Obligations shall be
paid in full in cash  before  any  payment  or  distribution  of any  character,
whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other of the
parties undersigned as a Borrower therefor.

      (i) Each of the Persons composing a Borrower hereby agrees that, after the
occurrence and during the  continuance  of any Default or Event of Default,  the
payment of any amounts due with respect to the indebtedness  owing by any of the
parties  undersigned as a Borrower to any other party  undersigned as a Borrower
is hereby  subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations.
Each of the  parties  undersigned  as a Borrower  hereby  agrees  that after the
occurrence  and during the  continuance  of any Default or Event of Default,  it
will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any
other of the parties undersigned as a Borrower owing to it until the Obligations
shall  have  been  paid in full  in  cash.  If,  notwithstanding  the  foregoing
sentence,  it shall  collect,  enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such
indebtedness,  such amounts shall be  collected,  enforced and received by it as
trustee  for  Lender,  and it shall  deliver  any such  amounts  to  Lender  for
application to the Obligations.

      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned,  MARINE GROWTH CANADA LTD. ("Owner"),
a company organized under the laws of the Province of British Columbia,  Canada,
having its principal  address at 405-A Atlantic  Road,  Cap  Canaveral,  Florida
32920, and MARINE GROWTH FINANCE & CHARTER, INC., a Delaware corporation, having
its principal  address at 405-A Atlantis  Road,  Cape  Canaveral,  Florida 32920
("MGFC"; Owner and MGFC being collectively,  jointly and severally,  hereinafter
referred to as "Borrowers") hereby  unconditionally  promise to pay to the order
of GREYSTONE  BUSINESS CREDIT II, L.L.C.  ("Lender"),  at its office at 152 West
57th St., 60th Fl., New York, NY 10019,  or at such other place as the holder of
this Term Note may from time to time  designate  in writing,  in lawful money of
the United States of America and in immediately  available  funds, the principal
sum of One  Million  Five  Hundred  Thousand  Dollars  ($1,500,000).  Except  as
expressly  provided  herein,  reference  is hereby made to the Loan and Security
Agreement  between  Borrowers  and  Lender  of even  date  herewith  (the  "Loan
Agreement")  for a statement  of the terms and  conditions  under which the loan
evidenced hereby was made and is to be repaid. This Term Note evidences the Loan
described  in the Loan  Agreement.  Capitalized  terms used  herein that are not
otherwise  specifically  defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such
terms in the Loan Agreement.

      The  outstanding  principal  balance of this Term Note shall be payable in
equal consecutive monthly  installments  amortized over seventy-two (72) months,
payable on the first day of each calendar  month,  commencing on the first month
following the date hereof (e.g., if this Term Note is dated March 31, 2007, then
the  payments  shall  commence  April  1,  2007)  with a  final  payment  of all
outstanding principal,  together with all accrued interest thereon, being due on
the Maturity Date.

      Borrowers  further  promise to pay interest on the  outstanding  principal
amount hereof from the date hereof until payment in full hereof at the per annum
rate of two and a quarter percent (2.25%) in excess of the Prime Rate. Following
the  occurrence and during the  continuance  of an Event of Default,  the entire
outstanding  principal balance of this Term Note shall, at Lender's option, bear
interest  until  paid in full at a per annum  rate  equal to the  interest  rate
applicable  to the Term Loan from time to time in effect plus two percent  (2%).
Until  maturity,  interest on the outstanding  principal  amount hereof shall be
payable in arrears on the first day of each  calendar  month,  commencing on the
first month  following the date hereof  (e.g.,  if this Term Note is dated March
31, 2007,  then the payments shall commence April 1, 2007),  and on the Maturity
Date.  After maturity,  whether by acceleration or otherwise,  accrued  interest
shall be payable on  demand.  Interest  as  aforesaid  shall be charged  for the
actual  number of days elapsed over a year  consisting  of three  hundred  sixty
(360) days on the actual daily outstanding balance hereof.

<PAGE>

      Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  contained herein, the aggregate
of all interest  hereunder and charged or collected by Lender is not intended to
exceed the highest rate permissible  under any applicable law, but if it should,
such interest shall  automatically  be reduced to the extent necessary to comply
with applicable law and Lender will refund to Borrowers any such excess interest
received by Lender.

      Borrowers may prepay the outstanding  principal balance hereof in whole or
in part. Any partial  prepayment of the Term Loan shall be applied to the unpaid
installments of the Term Loan in the inverse order of their maturities.

      Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default,  this Term Note may,
at the option of Lender,  and  without  demand,  notice or legal  process of any
kind, be declared, and immediately shall become, due and payable.

      Payments  received  by Lender  from  Borrowers  on this Term Note shall be
applied to the Obligations as provided in the Loan Agreement.

      Presentment, demand, protest and notice of presentment, demand, nonpayment
and protest are hereby waived by Borrowers.

      The  obligations of the entities  undersigned as Borrowers  shall be joint
and several in nature.

                                      -2-

      THIS TERM NOTE SHALL BE INTERPRETED, AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE
PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
If any provision of this Term Note or the  application  thereof shall be held to
be void or  unenforceable  by any court of competent  jurisdiction,  such defect
shall not affect the remainder of this Term Note,  which shall  continue in full
force and  effect.  Whenever  in this Term Note  reference  is made to Lender or
Borrowers, such reference shall be deemed to include, as applicable, a reference
to their  respective  successors  and assigns.  The provisions of this Term Note
shall be binding upon  Borrowers  and their  successors  and assigns,  and shall
inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns.

                                    GUARANTY

Borrowers:     MARINE GROWTH FINANCE & CHARTER, INC.,
               a Delaware corporation,

               and
               MARINE GROWTH CANADA LTD.,
               a company organized under the laws of the Province of
               British Columbia, Canada
Guarantor:     MARINE GROWTH VENTURES, INC.,
               a Delaware corporation

            Borrowers have requested that GREYSTONE  BUSINESS  CREDIT II, L.L.C.
("Lender") provide certain financial accommodations to Borrowers pursuant to the
terms of a Loan and Security  Agreement among Borrowers and Lender dated of even
date herewith (as amended from time to time,  the "Loan  Agreement").  As one of
the  conditions  to  providing  financing,  Lender has required  that  Guarantor
guaranty all obligations of Borrowers to Lender.

            For value  received  and in  consideration  of any loan,  advance or
financial  accommodation  of any kind  whatsoever  heretofore,  now or hereafter
made,  given or granted to Borrowers by Lender  pursuant to the Loan  Agreement,
Guarantor  unconditionally (but subject to the immediately  following paragraph)
guaranties  the full and prompt  payment  when due  (subject to the  immediately
following paragraph),  whether at maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration
or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the indebtedness,  liabilities and
obligations of every kind and nature of Borrowers to Lender (including,  without
limitation,  all interest  accruing  after the filing of a proceeding  under the
Bankruptcy Code (as defined in the Loan Agreement) whether or not allowed by the
court  in  such  proceeding,   and  all  other  indebtedness,   liabilities  and
obligations  arising  after the filing of any  proceeding  under the  Bankruptcy
Code),  howsoever  created,  arising or evidenced,  whether  direct or indirect,
absolute or contingent,  joint or several, now or hereafter existing,  or due or
to become due, in each case arising  under the Loan  Agreement or the other Loan
Documents  (as  defined  in the Loan  Agreement),  plus all costs  and  expenses
(including,  without limitation,  all court costs and reasonable  attorneys' and
paralegals'  fees and  expenses)  paid or incurred by Lender in  endeavoring  to
collect all or any part of such indebtedness,  liabilities and obligations from,
or in prosecuting any action against, Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or
any  part  of  such   indebtedness,   liabilities  and  obligations   (all  such
indebtedness,  liabilities,  obligations,  costs and expenses being  hereinafter
referred  to as  "Borrowers'  Obligations").  All sums  becoming  due under this
Guaranty shall bear interest from the due date thereof until paid at the highest
rate  charged  with  respect  to any of  Borrowers'  Obligations  under the Loan
Agreement.

            Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  contained  herein,  in no
event shall Lender make demand  against  Guarantor  in respect of this  Guaranty
unless and until one hundred and twenty (120) days after the earlier to occur of
any of the following events (collectively,  the "Demand Conditions"): (i) Lender
accelerates any of the  Obligations,  (ii) Lender initiates a foreclosure of any
of the  Collateral  or (iii) an Event of  Default  occurs as defined in the Loan
Agreement.  Lender agrees to use reasonable  efforts to notify  Guarantor of the
occurrence of any Demand Condition;  however,  Lender shall have no liability to
Guarantor for Lender's failure to provide any such notice.

<PAGE>

            Guarantor  agrees  that its  obligations  under  this  Guaranty  are
unconditional,  irrespective of (i) the validity or enforceability of Borrowers'
Obligations or any note or other instrument evidencing  Borrowers'  Obligations,
(ii) except as explicitly set forth herein, the absence of any attempt by Lender
to collect Borrowers'  Obligations from Borrowers or any other guarantor,  (iii)
Lender's  waiver or consent with respect to any provision of the Loan Documents,
(iv)  Lender's  failure to perfect or maintain its security  interests in, or to
preserve  its rights with respect to, any of the  Collateral  (as defined in the
Loan Agreement),  (v) Lender's  election,  in any proceeding under Chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section  1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy
Code,  (vi) any  borrowing  or grant of a  security  interest  by  Borrowers  as
debtor-in-possession  under  Section  364  of the  Bankruptcy  Code,  (vii)  the
disallowance,  under  Section  502  of  the  Bankruptcy  Code,  of all or any of
Lender's  claims for  repayment of  Borrowers'  Obligations  or (viii) any other
circumstance which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of
Borrowers or a guarantor.

            No  payment  made by or for the  account  or  benefit  of  Guarantor
(including,  without  limitation,  (i) a payment made by Borrowers in respect of
Borrowers'  Obligations,  (ii) a  payment  made by any  person  under  any other
guaranty of Borrowers'  Obligations  or (iii) a payment made by means of set off
or other application of funds by Lender) shall entitle Guarantor, by subrogation
or  otherwise,  to any payment by  Borrowers  or from or out of any  property of
Borrowers,  and  Guarantor  shall not  exercise  any rights or remedies  against
Borrowers or any property of Borrowers including,  without limitation, any right
of  contribution,  indemnity or  reimbursement  by reason of any  performance by
Guarantor under this Guaranty, all of such rights of subrogation,  contribution,
indemnity and reimbursement being hereby waived by Guarantor.  The provisions of
this paragraph  shall survive the termination of this Guaranty or the release or
discharge of  Guarantor  from  liability  hereunder.  Borrowers  are third party
beneficiaries of the provisions of this paragraph.

            Guarantor hereby waives diligence,  presentment, demand for payment,
filing of claims  with a court in the event of  receivership  or  bankruptcy  of
Borrowers (or either one of them),  protest or notice with respect to Borrowers'
Obligations  and all demands  whatsoever,  and covenants that this Guaranty will
not be discharged, except by complete and irrevocable payment and performance of
the  obligations  and  liabilities  contained  herein.  No notice to any  party,
including Guarantor, shall be required for Lender to make demand hereunder. Such
demand shall constitute a mature and liquidated claim against Guarantor.  At any
time after  maturity  of  Borrowers'  Obligations,  whether by  acceleration  or
otherwise,  Lender  may, at its sole  election,  proceed  directly  and at once,
without notice,  against Guarantor to collect and recover the full amount or any
portion of Borrowers' Obligations, without first proceeding against Borrowers or
any  other  person or  against  any of the  Collateral.  Lender  shall  have the
exclusive  right to determine the  application of payments and credits,  if any,
from  Guarantor,  Borrowers  or any  other  person,  on  account  of  Borrowers'
Obligations.

            Lender is hereby  authorized,  without notice or demand to Guarantor
and without affecting or impairing the liability of Guarantor hereunder, to from
time to time (i) renew,  extend,  accelerate  or  otherwise  change the time for
payment of, or other terms  relating  to,  Borrowers'  Obligations  or otherwise
modify,  amend or change the terms of any  promissory  note or other  agreement,
document or  instrument  now or hereafter  executed by  Borrowers  (or either of
them) and  delivered  to Lender;  (ii) accept  partial  payments  on  Borrowers'
Obligations;  (iii)  take and hold  Collateral  for the  payment  of  Borrowers'
Obligations,  or for the  payment of this  Guaranty,  or for the  payment of any
other  guaranties of Borrowers'  Obligations or other  liabilities of Borrowers,
and exchange,  enforce, waive and release any Collateral;  (iv) apply Collateral
and direct the order or manner of sale  thereof as it may  determine in its sole
discretion; and (v) settle, release, compromise,  collect or otherwise liquidate
Borrowers' Obligations and any Collateral in any manner.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

            At any time after maturity of Borrowers' Obligations, Lender may, in
its  sole  discretion,  without  notice  to  Guarantor  and  regardless  of  the
acceptance  of any  Collateral  for the payment  hereof,  appropriate  and apply
toward payments of Borrowers' Obligations, (i) any indebtedness due or to become
due from  Lender to  Guarantor  and (ii) any moneys,  credits or other  property
belonging  to  Guarantor  at any time held by or coming into the  possession  of
Lender or any affiliates of Lender, whether for deposit or otherwise.

            Guarantor assumes  responsibility for keeping itself informed of the
financial  condition  of  Borrowers  and all other  guarantors  of all or any of
Borrowers' Obligations,  and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of
nonpayment of Borrowers'  Obligations or any part thereof that diligent  inquiry
might  reveal,  and  Guarantor  agrees that Lender  shall have no duty to advise
Guarantor  of  information  known  to  Lender  regarding  any of the  foregoing.
Guarantor  acknowledges  familiarity  with  Borrowers'  financial  condition and
represents  that  it has not  relied  on any  statements  made,  or  information
furnished,  by Lender or its agents in  obtaining  such  familiarity.  If Lender
provides any such information to Guarantor,  Lender shall be under no obligation
to (i) undertake any  investigation  not a part of its regular business routine,
(ii)  disclose  any  information  which,  pursuant  to  accepted  or  reasonable
commercial  finance practices,  Lender wishes to maintain  confidential or (iii)
make any other or future disclosures of any information to Guarantor.

            Notwithstanding  any  contrary  provision  of this  Guaranty,  it is
intended that neither this Guaranty nor any liens or security interests securing
this  Guaranty   constitute  a  "Fraudulent   Conveyance"  (as  defined  below).
Consequently,  Guarantor  agrees that if this  Guaranty or any liens or security
interests  securing  this  Guaranty  would,  but  for  the  application  of this
sentence,  constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance,  this Guaranty and each such lien
and security  interest shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent
that  would  not  cause  this  Guaranty  or such lien or  security  interest  to
constitute a Fraudulent  Conveyance,  and this Guaranty shall  automatically  be
deemed to have been  amended  accordingly  at all relevant  times.  For purposes
hereof, a "Fraudulent  Conveyance"  means a fraudulent  conveyance under Section
548 of the  Bankruptcy  Code or a fraudulent  conveyance or fraudulent  transfer
under any applicable fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or similar
law of any state or other governmental unit as in effect from time to time.

            Guarantor waives the right to assert the doctrine of marshaling with
respect to any of the  Collateral  securing  Borrowers'  Obligations.  Guarantor
further  agrees that, to the extent  Borrowers (or either one of them) makes one
or more payments to Lender, or Lender receives any proceeds of Collateral, which
are subsequently  invalidated,  declared to be fraudulent or  preferential,  set
aside or required to be repaid to any Borrower, its estate, trustee, receiver or
any  other  party  under the  Bankruptcy  Code or other  law,  that  portion  of
Borrowers' Obligations which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such payment
or proceeds shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the
date such initial payment,  reduction or satisfaction occurred and this Guaranty
shall continue to be in existence and in full force and effect,  irrespective of
whether any evidence of  indebtedness  or this Guaranty has been  surrendered or
canceled.

                                      -3-

            Guarantor  agrees that all payments  hereunder shall be made without
setoff or  counterclaims  and  Guarantor  waives all  presentments,  demands for
performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of
dishonor and notices of acceptance of this  Guaranty.  Guarantor  further waives
all  notices  of the  existence,  creation  or  incurring  of new or  additional
indebtedness,  arising  either from  additional  loans  extended to Borrowers or
otherwise, and also waives all notices that the principal amount, or any portion
thereof,  or any interest on any  instrument or document  evidencing  all or any
part of Borrowers'  Obligations  is due,  notices of any and all  proceedings to
collect from the maker,  any endorser or any other  guarantor of all or any part
of Borrowers' Obligations,  or from anyone else, and, to the extent permitted by
law, notices of exchange, sale, foreclosure,  surrender or other handling of any
Collateral securing Borrowers' Obligations.

            No delay on the  part of  Lender  in the  exercise  of any  right or
remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof,  and no single or partial  exercise by
Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude any further exercise thereof except
as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on Lender's behalf
by an  authorized  officer or agent of  Lender;  nor shall any  modification  or
waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty be binding upon Lender,  except
as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on Lender's behalf
by an  authorized  officer or agent of Lender.  Lender's  failure at any time or
times  hereafter to require strict  performance by Borrowers or Guarantor of any
of the provisions,  warranties, terms and conditions contained in any promissory
note, security agreement,  agreement, guaranty, instrument or document now or at
any time or times hereafter  executed by Borrowers or Guarantor and delivered to
Lender,  shall not waive,  affect or diminish any right of Lender at any time or
times hereafter to demand strict performance thereof and such right shall not be
deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of Lender,  or its respective
agents, officers or employees,  unless such waiver is contained in an instrument
in writing signed by an officer or agent of Lender, and directed to Borrowers or
Guarantor,  as applicable,  specifying  such waiver.  No waiver by Lender of any
default  shall operate as a waiver of any other default or the same default on a
future occasion,  and no action by Lender  permitted  hereunder shall in any way
affect or impair  Lender's  rights or the  obligations  of Guarantor  under this
Guaranty.  Any determination by a court of competent  jurisdiction of the amount
of any  principal or interest  owing by Borrowers to Lender shall be  conclusive
and binding on Guarantor  irrespective  of whether  Guarantor was a party to the
suit or action in which such determination was made.

            Guarantor  hereby   represents  and  warrants  that  (i)  it  is  in
Guarantor's  direct interest to assist  Borrowers in procuring  credit,  because
Borrowers are affiliates of Guarantor, furnishes goods or services to Guarantor,
purchases or acquires goods or services from Guarantor,  and/or  otherwise has a
direct or indirect corporate or business relationship with Guarantor,  (ii) this
Guaranty  has been duly and  validly  authorized,  executed  and  delivered  and
constitutes  the valid and  binding  obligation  of  Guarantor,  enforceable  in
accordance with its terms, and (iii) the execution and delivery of this Guaranty
does not violate or  constitute  a default  under (with or without the giving of
notice, the passage of time, or both) any order, judgment, decree, instrument or
agreement  to  which  Guarantor  is a party or by  which  it or its  assets  are
affected or bound.
