The Collateral Agent (a) Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
(b) The obligations of the Collateral Agent hereunder are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement.
(c) The Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.
(d) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with this Agreement (1) with the consent or at the request of Secured Party or (2) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(e) Pledgor shall indemnify the Collateral Agent against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) that the Collateral Agent may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Collateral Agent hereunder.

Borrower irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make or cause to be made, on or about the Funding Date of any Term Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal on such Lender’s Secured Promissory Note, an appropriate notation on such Lender’s Secured Promissory Note Record reflecting the making of such Term Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of each Term Loan set forth on such Lender’s Secured Promissory Note Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such Lender’s Secured Promissory Note Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower under any Secured Promissory Note or any other Loan Document to make payments of principal of or interest on any Secured Promissory Note when due. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of a Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of its Secured Promissory Note, Borrower shall issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Secured Promissory Note in the same principal amount thereof and of like tenor.
The Collateral Agent’s Duties (a) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property.
(b) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent may from time to time, when the Collateral Agent deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more subagents (each a “Subagent”) for the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. In the event that the Collateral Agent so appoints any Subagent with respect to any Collateral, (i) the assignment and pledge of such Collateral and the security interest granted in such Collateral by each Grantor hereunder shall be deemed for purposes of this Security Agreement to have been made to such Subagent, in addition to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Secured Obligations of such Grantor, (ii) such Subagent shall automatically be vested, in addition to the Collateral Agent, with all rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to such Collateral, and (iii) the term “Collateral Agent,” when used herein in relation to any rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral, shall include such Subagent; provided, however, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Collateral Agent.

The Issuer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Indenture Trustee holds the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Holders, pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, consents and agrees (subject to Section 4.11) to the terms of the Security Documents (including the provisions providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their respective terms and this Indenture, and authorizes and directs the Indenture Trustee to enter into the Security Documents and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance herewith and therewith. The Issuer shall take any and all actions reasonably required to cause the Security Documents to create and maintain at all times, as security for the Secured Obligations of the Issuer hereunder, a valid and enforceable perfected Lien on all of the Collateral, in favor of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Holders under the Security Documents. The Issuer hereby covenant (A) to perform and observe its obligations under the Security Documents and (B) take any and all commercially reasonable actions (including without limitation the covenants set forth in the Security Documents and in this Article 9) required to cause the Security Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Secured Obligations contained in this Indenture, the Notes and the other Security Documents, valid and enforceable, perfected (except as expressly provided herein or therein) security interests in and on all the Collateral, in favor of the Indenture Trustee, superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons, and subject to no other Liens, in each case, except as expressly permitted herein or therein. The Issuer shall do or cause to be done, at its sole cost and expense, all such actions and things as may be necessary, or as may be required by the provisions of the Security Documents, to confirm to the Indenture Trustee the security interests in the Collateral contemplated hereby and by the Security Documents, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the Collateral available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purpose herein and therein expressed.

No filings or recordings are required in order to perfect (or maintain the perfection or priority of) the security interests created in the Share Charge Collateral under the Share Charge other than with respect to that portion of the Share Charge Collateral constituting a “general intangible” under the UCC. The filings on Form UCC-1 made pursuant to the Share Charge will perfect a security interest in the Collateral covered by the Share Charge to the extent a security interest in such Collateral may be perfected by such filings.
(c) After the execution and registration thereof, the Vessel Mortgage will create, as security for the obligations purported to be secured thereby, a valid and enforceable perfected security interest in and mortgage lien on the Vessel in favor of the Collateral Agent (or such other trustee as may be required or desired under local law) for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, superior and prior to the rights of all third Persons (except that the security interest and mortgage lien created on the Vessel may be subject to the Permitted Liens related thereto) and subject to no other Liens (other than Permitted Liens related thereto).
(d) After the execution and delivery thereof and upon the taking of the actions mentioned in the immediately succeeding sentence, each of the Security Documents will create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors a legal, valid and enforceable fully perfected first priority security interest in and Lien on all right, title and interest of the Credit Parties party thereto in the Collateral described therein, subject only to Permitted Liens. Subject to Sections 7.02, 8.04 and this Section 8.11 and the definition of “Collateral and Guaranty Requirements,” no filings or recordings are required in order to perfect the security interests created under any Security Document except for filings or recordings which shall have been made on or prior to the execution of such Security Document.
