Any amount prepaid may not be redrawn and shall be applied against scheduled repayments, including the balloon payment on the Final Payment Date, on a pro rata basis.

5.5 Interest and Costs with Prepayments/Application of Prepayments. Any prepayment of the Loan made hereunder (including, without limitation, those made pursuant to Section 5) shall be subject to the condition that on the date of prepayment by or on behalf of the Borrowers all accrued interest to the date of such prepayment shall be paid in full or portions thereof being prepaid, together with any and all costs or expenses of any Lender in connection with any breaking of funding for prepayments other than on the last day of the applicable Interest Period (as certified by the Facility Agent, which certification shall, absent any manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers).

6.1 Applicable Rate. The Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders (on a joint and several basis) interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan for the period commencing on the Closing Date until but not including the stated maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or the date of prepayment thereof at the Applicable Rate, which shall be the rate per annum

which is equal to the aggregate of (a) LIBOR for the relevant Interest Period (provided that, if LIBOR is below zero, LIBOR shall be deemed to be zero), plus (b) the Margin plus (c) Mandatory Costs, if any. The Margin for each interest payment shall be determined by reference to twelve (12) months trailing EBITDA at the time of determination; provided, however, that no change in the Margin shall be effective until three (3) Banking Days after the date on which the Facility Agent receives or was entitled to receive the financial statements and the corresponding Compliance Certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 9.1(d). The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders in writing of the Applicable Rate as and when determined. Each such determination, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers. The Borrowers covenant and agree to pay interest on the Advances on the last day of each Interest Period and, if any Interest Period exceeds three months, on each three month anniversary of the date of the commencement of such Interest Period. It is hereby agreed that (x) prior to the end of the Availability Period, the Interest Periods relating to each Tranche shall be consolidated so that there shall be no more than six (6) Interest Periods in the aggregate in effect at any time applicable to the Loan and (y) after the end of the Availability Period, the Interest Periods relating to each Tranche shall be consolidated so that there shall be no more than two (2) Interest Periods in the aggregate in effect at any time applicable to the Loan.

6.2 Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Borrowers agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Loan and any other outstanding amount under the Transaction Documents shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In addition, each of the Borrowers hereby promises to pay interest at the Default Rate on any other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Transaction Document which shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), for the period commencing on the due date thereof until but not including the date the same is paid. Any interest at the Default Rate (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of the then applicable Interest Period but will remain immediately due and payable.

6.3 Interest Notice. The Borrowers shall give the Facility Agent an Interest Notice specifying the Interest Period selected at least three (3) Banking Days prior to the end of any then existing Interest Period, which notice the Facility Agent agrees to forward on to all Lenders as soon as practicable. If at the end of any then existing Interest Period the Borrowers fail to give an Interest Notice, the relevant Interest Period shall be three (3) months. No Interest Period may extend beyond the Final Payment Date. The Borrowers’ right to select an Interest Period shall be subject to the restriction that no selection of an Interest Period shall be effective unless each Lender is satisfied that the necessary funds will be available to such Lender for such period. The delivery of an Interest Notice shall be deemed to constitute a warranty by each of the Borrowers (a) that the representations and warranties stated in Section 2 (updated mutatis mutandis) and stated in the other Transaction Documents are true and correct on and as of the date of the Drawdown Notice and will be true and correct as if made on the date of such Interest Notice and (b) that no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

7.2 Tax Credits. If a Lender obtains the benefit of a credit against the liability thereof for federal income taxes imposed by any taxing authority for all or part of the Taxes as to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts as aforesaid, then such Lender shall pay an amount to the relevant Borrower which such Lender determines will leave it (after such payment) in the same position as it would have been had the Tax payment not been made by such Borrower. Each Lender agrees that in the event that Taxes are imposed on account of the situs of its loans hereunder, such Lender, upon acquiring knowledge of such event, shall, if commercially reasonable and if, in the opinion of such Lender, it is not prejudicial to it, shift such loans on its books to another office of such Lender so as to avoid the imposition of such Taxes. Nothing contained in this clause shall in any way prejudice the right of the Lenders to arrange their tax affairs in such way as they, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. In particular, a Lender shall not be required to obtain such tax credit, if this interferes with the way such Lender normally deals with its tax affairs.

7.3 Exclusion of Gross-up for Taxes. None of the Borrowers shall be required to pay any additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 7.1 to the extent that:

(a) the applicable Lender was not an original party to this Agreement and under applicable law (after taking into account relevant treaties and assuming that such Lender has provided all forms it may legally and truthfully provide) on the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement, withholding of Taxes would have been required on such payment, provided that this exclusion shall not apply to the extent such withholding does not exceed the withholding that would have been applicable if such payment had been made to the applicable Lender that was an original party to this Agreement;

(b) the applicable Lender has changed its lending office and under applicable law (after taking into account relevant treaties and assuming that such Lender has provided all forms it may legally and truthfully provide) on the date such Lender changed its lending office, withholding of Taxes would have been required on such payment, provided that this exclusion shall not apply to the extent such withholding does not exceed the withholding that would have been applicable to such payment and with respect to which such Lender would have been entitled to receive additional amounts pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof if such Lender had never changed its lending office; or

(c) withholding would not have been required on such payment if such Lender had complied with its obligations to deliver certain tax forms pursuant to Section 7.4 below.

7.4 Delivery of Tax Forms.

(a) On or prior to the date hereof (or in the case of a transferee Lender, the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement), and thereafter when reasonably requested by a Borrower, each Lender or transferee that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Facility Agent two properly completed and duly executed copies of (as applicable) IRS Form W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI or W-8IMY or, upon request of a Borrower or the Facility Agent, any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, in each case claiming a reduced rate (which may be zero) of U.S. federal withholding tax under Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code with respect to payments of interest hereunder as such Non-U.S. Lender may properly claim. In addition, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, such Non-U.S. Lender shall, on or prior to the date hereof (or in the case of a transferee Lender, the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement), and thereafter when reasonably requested by a Security Party, provide to the Facility Agent in addition to the IRS Form W-8 required above a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of such Security Party and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to such Security

Party (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code), and such Non-U.S. Lender agrees that it shall promptly notify the Facility Agent in the event any representation in such certificate is no longer accurate; and

(b) In the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is a party to this Agreement on the date hereof and that fails to provide an IRS Form W-8ECI or the certificate described in the last sentence of Section 7.4(a) with respect to a Security Party that is a U.S. person, the IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8IMY provided by such Non-U.S. Lender on or prior to the date hereof shall claim the benefits of an income tax treaty providing for no U.S. federal withholding tax under Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code with respect to payments of interest hereunder with respect to such Security Party.

(b) If a FATCA Relevant Party confirms to any other FATCA Relevant Party that it is a FATCA Exempt Party or provides an IRS Form W-8 or W-9 showing that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not, or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that party shall so notify all other FATCA Relevant Parties reasonably promptly.

(c) Nothing in this Section 7.5 shall obligate any FATCA Relevant Party to do anything which would or, in its reasonable opinion, might constitute a breach of any law or regulation, any policy of that party, any fiduciary duty or any duty of confidentiality, or to disclose any confidential information (including, without limitation, its tax returns and calculations); provided that nothing in this paragraph shall excuse any FATCA Relevant Party from providing a true, complete and correct IRS Form W-8 or W-9 (or any successor or substitute form where applicable). Any information provided on such IRS Form W-8 or W-9 (or any successor or substitute forms) shall not be treated as confidential information of such party for purposes of this paragraph.

(d) If a FATCA Relevant Party fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with the provisions of this agreement or the provided information is insufficient under FATCA, then:


(i)	such party shall be treated as if it were a FATCA Non-Exempt Party; and


(ii)	if that party failed to confirm its applicable pass-thru percentage then such party shall be treated for the purposes of any Transaction Document (and payments made thereunder) as if its applicable pass-thru percentage is 100%,

until (in each case) such time as the party in question provides sufficient confirmation, forms, documentation or other information to establish the relevant facts.

(c) Each FATCA Relevant Party shall promptly upon becoming aware that a FATCA Deduction is required with respect to any payment owed to it (or that there is any change in the rate or basis of a FATCA Deduction) notify each other FATCA Relevant Party accordingly, and no Security Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction.

(d) Within thirty days of making either a FATCA Deduction or any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, the party making such FATCA Deduction shall deliver to the Facility Agent for delivery to the party on account of whom the FATCA Deduction was made evidence reasonably satisfactory to that party that the FATCA Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the IRS.

(e) A FATCA Relevant Party who becomes aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to another FATCA Relevant Party (or that there is any change in the rate or basis of such FATCA Deduction) shall notify that party and the Facility Agent.

(f) The Facility Agent shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to a Lender which relates to a payment by the Security Parties (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such a FATCA Deduction) notify the Security Parties and the relevant Lender.

7.7 FATCA Mitigation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a FATCA Deduction is or will be required to be made by any party under Section 7.6 in respect of a payment to any FATCA Non-Exempt Lender, the FATCA Non-Exempt Lender may either:


(i)	transfer its entire interest in the Loan to a U.S. branch or Affiliate, or


(ii)	nominate one or more transferee lenders who upon becoming a Lender would be a FATCA Exempt Party, by notice in writing to the Facility Agent and the Borrowers specifying the terms of the proposed transfer, and cause such transferee lender(s) to purchase all of the FATCA Non-Exempt Lender’s interest in the Loan.

The Borrowers will be deemed to have given their consent if no express refusal is received within twenty (20) Banking Days after delivery of a notice requesting such consent. An assignment fee of $7,500 for each such assignment or participation shall be payable to the Facility Agent; provided, however, that any such assignment must be made pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Each of the Security Parties will take all reasonable actions requested by the Facility Agent or any Lender to effect such assignment, including but not limited to, providing the documents required pursuant to Section 9.1(x).

10.2. The Facility Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of each of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and principal amount of the relevant Tranche of each Loan owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Facility Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

10.3. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignment fee referred to above and any written consent to such assignment required, the Facility Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to this Agreement, the Facility Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon.

10.5. In the event that a Lender changes its lending office such Lender shall pay the Facility Agent a fee of $3,750.


11.	ILLEGALITY, INCREASED COST, NON-AVAILABILITY, ETC

11.1 Illegality. In the event that by reason of any change in or introduction of any applicable law, regulation or regulatory requirement or in the interpretation thereof, a Lender has a reasonable basis to conclude that it has become unlawful for any Lender to maintain or give effect to its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall inform the Facility Agent and each of the Borrowers to that effect, whereafter the liability of such Lender to make its portion of the Loan available shall forthwith cease and the Borrowers shall be required either to repay to such Lender that portion of the Loan advanced by such Lender within sixty (60) days or, if such Lender so agrees, to repay such portion of the Loan to the Lender on the last day of the calendar month in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 11.7. In any such event, but without prejudice to the aforesaid obligations of each Borrower to repay such portion of the Loan, each Borrower and the relevant Lender shall negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing on terms for making such portion of the Loan available from another jurisdiction or otherwise restructuring such portion of the Loan on a basis which is not unlawful.

11.2 Increased Costs. If, after the date of this Agreement, any change in or introduction of applicable law, regulation or regulatory requirement (including any applicable law, regulation or regulatory requirement which relates to capital adequacy or liquidity controls or which affects the manner in which a Lender allocates capital resources under this Agreement), or in the interpretation or application thereof by any governmental or other authority, shall:


(i)	subject any Lender to any Taxes with respect to its income from the Loan, or any part thereof; or

(ii)

change the basis of taxation to a Lender of payments of principal or interest or any other payment due or to become due pursuant to this Agreement (other than a change in the basis effected by the jurisdiction of organization of such Lender, the jurisdiction of the principal place of business of such Lender, the United States of America, the State or City of New York or any governmental subdivision or other taxing authority having jurisdiction over such Lender (unless such jurisdiction is asserted by reason of the activities of the Security Parties) or such other jurisdiction where the Loan may be payable, or under FATCA), or


(iii)	impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirements or require the making of any special deposits against or in respect of any assets or liabilities of, deposits with or for the account of, or loans by, a Lender,


(iv)	impose on any Lender any other condition affecting the Loan or any part thereof,

and the result of the foregoing is either to increase the cost to such Lender of making available or maintaining the Loan or any part thereof or to reduce the amount of any payment received by such Lender, then and, in any such case, if such increase or reduction, in the opinion of such Lender, materially affects the interests of such Lender under or in connection with this Agreement:

(b) such Lender shall notify the Facility Agent and each Borrower of the happening of such event, and

(c) each Borrower agrees forthwith upon demand to pay to such Lender such amount as such Lender certifies to be necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or such reduction in respect of the relevant Tranche.

11.5 Alternative rate of interest during market disruption. For so long as the circumstances falling within Section 11.3 are continuing, the rate of interest on each Lender’s share of that Tranche for the Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of (i) the higher of (a) the Facility Agent’s prime lending rate and (b) one-half percent (1/2%) above the Federal Funds Effective Rate, (ii) the Margin, and (iii) Mandatory Costs, if any.

11.6 Lender’s Certificate Conclusive. A certificate or determination notice of a the Facility Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, as to any of the matters referred to in this Section 11 shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.

11.7 Compensation for Losses. Where the Loan or any portion thereof is to be repaid by any of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 11,the Borrowers agree simultaneously with such repayment to pay to the relevant Lenders all accrued interest to the date of actual payment on the amount repaid and all other sums then payable by the Borrowers to the relevant Creditor pursuant to this Agreement, together with such amounts as may be necessary and are certified by the relevant Lender to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any actual loss, premium or penalties incurred or to be incurred thereby on account of funds borrowed to make, fund or maintain the Loan or such portion thereof for the remainder (if any) of the then current Interest Period or Interest Periods, if any, but otherwise without penalty or premium.

12.1 Currency Conversion. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing a judgment in any court in any country, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (the “judgment currency”) an amount due in Dollars under any Transaction Document, then the conversion shall be made, in the discretion of the Facility Agent, at the rate of exchange prevailing either on the date of default or on the day before the day on which the judgment is given or the order for enforcement is made, as the case may be (the “conversion date”), provided that the Creditors shall not be entitled to recover under this Section 12.1 any amount in the judgment currency which exceeds at the conversion date the amount in Dollars due under any Transaction Document.

12.2 Change in Exchange Rate. If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the conversion date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, each relevant Borrower shall pay such additional amounts (if any, but, in any event, not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the judgment currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount then due under the Transaction Documents in Dollars; any excess over the amount due received or collected by any Lender shall be remitted to the relevant Borrower.

12.3 Additional Debt Due. Any amount due from the Borrowers under this Section 12 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under or in respect of the Transaction Documents.

IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED BY AND AMONG EACH OF THE BORROWERS AND EACH OF THE CREDITORS THAT EACH OF THEM HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY HERETO AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS.


15.	THE FACILITY AGENT / THE SECURITY TRUSTEE.

15.1 Appointment of Agent. Each of the Lenders and the Swap Banks hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee, respectively, to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee, respectively by the terms hereof and thereof. Neither the Facility Agent, nor the Security Trustee nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under any Transaction Document or in connection therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

15.2 Security Trustee as Trustee. Each of the Creditors (other than the Security Trustee) irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Security Trustee as trustee on its behalf with regard to (i) the security, powers, rights, titles, benefits and interests (both present and future) constituted by and conferred on the Creditors or any of them or for the benefit thereof under or pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, the benefit of all covenants, undertakings, representations, warranties and obligations given, made or undertaken to any Creditor in the Transaction Documents), (ii) all moneys, property and other assets paid or transferred to or vested in any Creditor or any agent of any Creditor or received or recovered by any Creditor or any agent of any Creditor pursuant to, or in connection with, the Transaction Documents whether from the Borrowers or the Guarantors or any other person and (iii) all money, investments, property and other assets at any time representing or deriving from any of the foregoing, including all interest, income and other sums at any time received or receivable by any Creditor or any agent of any Creditor in respect of the same (or any part thereof).

To secure the payment of all sums of money from time to time owing to the Creditors under the Transaction Documents, and the performance of the covenants of the Borrowers and any other Security Party herein and therein contained, and in consideration of the premises and of the covenants herein contained and of the extensions of credit by the Creditors, the Security Trustee does hereby declare that it will hold as such trustee in trust for the benefit of the Creditors, from and after the execution and delivery thereof, all of its right, title and interest as mortgagee in, to and under the Mortgages and its right, title and interest as assignee and secured party under the other Transaction Documents (the right, title and interest of the Security Trustee in and to the property, rights and privileges described above, from and after the execution and delivery thereof, and all property hereafter specifically subjected to the security interest of the indenture created hereby and by the Transaction Documents by any amendment hereto or thereto are herein collectively called the “Estate”); TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Estate unto the Security Trustee and its successors and assigns forever, BUT IN TRUST, NEVERTHELESS, for the equal and proportionate benefit and security of the Creditors and their respective successors and assigns without any priority of any one over any other, UPON THE CONDITION that, unless and until an Event of Default under this Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, the relevant Security Party shall be permitted, to the exclusion of the Security Trustee, to possess and use the Vessels. IT IS HEREBY COVENANTED, DECLARED AND AGREED that all property subject or to become subject hereto is to be held, subject to the further covenants, conditions, uses and trusts hereinafter set forth, and each of the Borrowers and the Relevant Parents, for itself and its respective successors and assigns, hereby covenants and agrees to and with the Security Trustee and its successors in said trust, for the equal and proportionate benefit and security of the Creditors as hereinafter set forth.

The Security Trustee hereby accepts such appointment and the trusts imposed upon it as Security Trustee by this Agreement and the Security Trustee covenants and agrees to perform the same as herein expressed and agrees to receive and disburse all monies constituting part of the Estate in accordance with the terms hereof. Neither the Security Trustee nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under this Agreement, the Note or the other Transaction Documents or in connection therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

15.3 Distribution of Payments. Whenever any payment is received by the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee from any of the Borrowers for the account of the Lenders, or any of them, whether of principal or interest on the Note, commissions, fees under Section 13, or otherwise, it will thereafter cause like funds relating to such payment to be promptly distributed ratably to the Lenders according to their respective Commitments, in each case to be applied according to the terms of this Agreement. Unless the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date when any payment is due hereunder that the Borrowers will not make any payment on such date, the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment to the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, on the relevant date and the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders on such date a corresponding amount relating to such payment ratably to the Lenders according to their respective Commitments. If and to the extent that the Borrowers shall not have so made such payment available to the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, the Lenders and the Borrowers (but without duplication) severally agree to repay to the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Lenders until the date such amount is repaid to the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, as calculated by the Facility Agent or Security Trustee to reflect its cost of funds.

15.4 Holder of Interest in Note. The Facility Agent may treat each Lender as the holder of all of the interest of such Lender in the Note unless and until the Facility Agent has received a copy of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement evidencing the transfer of all or any part of such Lender’s interest in the Loan.

15.5 No Duty to Examine, Etc. The Facility Agent shall not be under a duty to examine or pass upon the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any instrument, document or communication furnished pursuant to this Agreement or in connection therewith or in connection with any other Transaction Document and the Facility Agent shall be entitled to assume that the same are valid, effective and genuine, have been signed or sent by the proper parties and are what they purport to be.

15.6 Facility Agent and Security Trustee as Lenders. With respect to that portion of the Loan made available by it, each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall include the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee in their capacity as Lenders. Each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with, any of the Borrowers as if it were not the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be.

15.7 Obligations of Facility Agent and Security Trustee. The obligations of each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee, respectively, under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are only those expressly set forth herein and therein.

(a) Neither the Facility Agent nor the Security Trustee shall at any time be under any duty to investigate whether an Event of Default, or a Default, has occurred or to investigate the performance of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents by the Borrower.

(b) Promptly upon receipt thereof by the Facility Agent, the Facility Agent shall furnish each Lender with a copy of all financial reports and notices delivered to it by each of the Borrowers hereunder.

15.8 Discretion of Facility Agents and Security Trustee. Each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee, respectively, shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights which may be vested in it by, and with respect to taking or refraining from taking any action or actions which it may be able to take under or in respect of the Transaction Documents, unless the Facility Agent or Security Trustee, as the case may be, shall have been instructed by the Majority Lenders to exercise such rights or to take or refrain from taking such action; provided, however, that neither the Facility Agent nor the Security Trustee shall be required to take any action which (in the Facility Agent’s and/or the Security Trustee’s sole discretion) may expose such Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.

(a) Each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee shall in all cases be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders (or, where expressly required hereby, all the Lenders), and any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such instructions shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

15.9 Assumption re Event of Default. Except as otherwise provided in Section 15.15, the Facility Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the Facility Agent has been notified by any of the Borrowers of such fact or has been notified by a Lender that such Lender considers that an Event of Default or such an event (specifying in detail the nature thereof) has occurred and is continuing. In the event that the Facility Agent shall have been notified by any party in the manner set forth in the preceding sentence of any Event of Default or of any Default, the Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and shall take action and assert such rights and/or advise the Security Trustee to take such action or assert such rights under the Transaction Documents as the Majority Lenders shall request in writing.

15.10 No Liability of Agents and the Lenders. Neither the Facility Agent, nor the Security Trustee nor any Lender nor any Swap Bank shall be under any liability or responsibility whatsoever:

(a) to any Borrower or any other person or entity as a consequence of any failure or delay in performance by, or any breach by, any other Lender or any other person of any of its or their obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents;

(b) to any Lender or Lenders or any Swap Bank as a consequence of any failure or delay in performance by, or any breach by any of the Borrowers of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; or

(c) to any Lender or Lenders or any Swap Bank for any statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or in any document or instrument delivered in connection with the transaction

hereby contemplated; or for the validity, effectiveness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any document or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions hereby contemplated.

15.11 Indemnification of Facility Agent and Security Trustee. The Lenders agree to indemnify each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee (to the extent not reimbursed by any of the Borrowers), pro rata according to the respective amounts of their interests in the Loan, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in investigating claims and defending itself against such liabilities) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against, the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, any action taken or omitted by the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, hereunder or thereunder or the preparation, administration, amendment or enforcement of, or waiver of any provision of, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, except that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Facility Agent’s or Security Trustee’s, as the case may be, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

15.12 Consultation with Counsel. Each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee may consult with legal counsel selected by the Facility Agent or Security Trustee, as the case may be and shall not be liable for any action taken, permitted or omitted by it in good faith in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

15.13 Resignation. Each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee may resign at any time by giving sixty (60) days’ written notice (the “Resignation Effective Date”) thereof to the Lenders and each of the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Facility Agent or Security Trustee, as the case may be. If no successor Facility Agent or Security Trustee, as the case may be, shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within sixty (60) days after the retiring Facility Agent’s or Security Trustee’s, as the case may be, giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Facility Agent or Security Trustee, as the case may be, may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Facility Agent or Security Trustee, as the case may be, which shall be a bank or trust company of recognized standing. The appointment by the Majority Lenders of any successor to the Facility Agent or Security Trustee shall (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) be subject to the prior written consent of each of the Borrowers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. After any resignation of the Facility Agent or Security Trustee hereunder, the provisions of this Section 15 shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted by it while acting as Facility Agent or Security Trustee, as the case may be. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

15.14 Representations of Lenders. Each Lender represents and warrants to each other Lender, the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee that:

(i)

in making its decision to enter into this Agreement and to make its Commitment available hereunder, it has independently taken whatever steps it considers necessary to evaluate the financial condition and affairs of each of the Borrowers, that it has made an independent credit judgment and that it has not relied upon any statement, representation or warranty by any other Lender the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee; and


(ii)	so long as any portion of its Commitment remains outstanding, it will continue to make its own independent evaluation of the financial condition and affairs of each of the Borrowers.

15.15 Notification of Event of Default. If the Facility Agent has received a notice from any Borrower or any Lender about the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such Default or Event of Default.

15.16 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Note or the Security Documents, or otherwise) on account of the amounts advanced and owing to it (other than pursuant to Sections 11.2 or 11.7 or otherwise in respect of any gross up for Taxes pursuant to Section 7.1) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the amounts advanced obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the amounts advanced owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each of the Borrowers agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this

Section 15.16 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

17.	MISCELLANEOUS

17.1 Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Facility Agent and each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held (including, but not limited to, the Operating Account) and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Facility Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any of the Borrowers against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under the Transaction Documents, irrespective of whether the Facility Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The Facility Agent and each Lender agrees promptly to notify each Borrower after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Facility Agent and each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 17.1 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that the Facility Agent, such Lender, the Security Trustee and their respective Affiliates may have. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 17 or elsewhere herein, the Facility Agent may not discriminate against the Lenders generally in favor of its own interests when exercising setoff rights against amounts received from any Borrower hereunder, including any amount in the Operating Account.

17.2 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement but no failure or delay on the part of any of the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee or the Lenders to exercise any power or right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee or the Lenders of any power or right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

17.3 Unenforceable, etc., Provisions–Effect. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document would, if given effect, be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law applicable in any relevant jurisdiction, said provision shall not be enforceable against any of the Borrowers, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions herein or therein contained shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

17.4 References. References herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules are to be construed as references to sections of, exhibits to, and schedules to, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents as applicable, unless the context otherwise requires.

17.5 Further Assurances. Each of the Borrowers agrees that if this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents shall, in the reasonable opinion of the Creditors, at any time be deemed by the Creditors for any reason insufficient in whole or in part to carry out the true intent and spirit hereof or thereof, it will execute or cause to be executed such other and further assurances and documents as in the opinion of the Creditors may be required in order to more effectively accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and/or the other Transaction Documents.

17.6 Prior Agreements, Merger. Any and all prior understandings and agreements heretofore entered into between the Security Parties on the one part, and any of the Lenders, on the other part, relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, whether written or oral are superseded by and merged into this Agreement and the other agreements (the forms of which are exhibited hereto) to be executed and delivered in connection herewith to which the Security Parties and the Lenders, the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee, as the case may be, are parties, which alone fully and completely express the agreements between the Security Parties and the Lenders.

17.7 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto. Neither this Agreement, the Note, any of the Security Documents nor any Interest Rate Agreement nor any terms hereof or thereof may be waived or amended unless such waiver or amendment is approved by each of the Borrowers and the Majority Lenders, provided that no such waiver or amendment shall, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (i) reduce the Margin or the interest rate or extend the time of a scheduled payment of principal or interest or fees on the Loan or reduce the principal amount of the Loan or any fees hereunder, (ii) increase or decrease the Commitment of any Lender or subject any Lender to any additional obligation (it being understood that a waiver of any Event of Default, other than a payment default, or any mandatory repayment of the Loan shall not constitute a change in the terms of any Commitment of any Lender), (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 10 (Assignment), Section 14 (Applicable Law, Jurisdiction and Waiver) and this Section 17.7, (iv) amend the definition of “Majority Lenders” or any other definition referred to in this Section 17.7, (v) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (vi) waive any late fee more than twice during the term of the Loan, any such waiver to be for a maximum of ten (10) days, or (vii) release any Security Party from any of its obligations under any Transaction Document except as expressly provided herein or in such Transaction Document; provided, further, that approval by all Lenders shall be required for any amendment or waivers with respect to Section 5.4 of this Agreement. All amendments approved by the Majority Lenders under this Section 17.7 must be in writing and signed by each of the Borrowers, each of the Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders and, if applicable, each Lender affected thereby and any such amendment

shall be binding on all the Lenders; provided, however, that any amendments or waivers with respect to Section 5.4 of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by each of the Borrowers and all of the Lenders.

17.8 Assumption re Event of Default. The Lenders shall be entitled to assume that no Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the Lenders have been notified by a Borrower of such fact. In the event that any Lender shall have been notified, in the manner set forth in the preceding sentence, by a Borrower of any Event of Default or Default, such Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent in writing, and the Majority Lenders may take action and assert such rights under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document or as provided for under applicable law as they determine are appropriate.

17.9 Indemnification. Neither any Creditor nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Borrower for any action taken or not taken thereby in connection herewith in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each of the Borrowers hereby severally agrees, on a joint and several basis, to indemnify the Creditors, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements of every nature and character (other than taxes) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of the execution or delivery of the Transaction Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby including, without limitation, (a) any actual or proposed use by a Borrower of the proceeds of any of the relevant Tranche, (b) the reversal or withdrawal of any provisional credits granted by the Facility Agent upon the transfer of funds from lock box, bank agency, concentration accounts or otherwise under any cash management arrangements with any Borrower, (c) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort, or any other theory, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereof, (d) any civil penalty or fine assessed by OFAC or another Governmental Authority against, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof by, the Facility Agent or any other Creditor as a result of conduct of the Borrowers, any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof or any Related Party thereof that violates a Sanctions Law or Anti-Money Laundering Law or (e) with respect to the Borrowers and their respective properties and assets, the violation of any Environmental Law, the presence, disposal, escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, release or threatened release of any Materials of Environmental Concern or any action, suit, proceeding or investigation brought or threatened with respect to any Materials of Environmental Concern relating to any circumstance or occurrence arising in relation to, or during the time of, the management, use, control ownership or operation of property or assets by such Borrower (including, but not limited to, claims with respect to wrongful death, personal injury or damage to property), in each case including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding; provided, however, the relevant Borrower shall not be responsible for any liabilities, losses, damages and/or expenses under this Section 17.9 caused by an Indemnitee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing indemnification shall not apply to the extent that any claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits or costs arise with respect to any Vessel from and after such time as any Creditor (or any designee thereof) takes possession or control of such Vessel (except to the extent that any such matter arising under subsection 17.9(e) hereof relates to any circumstance or occurrence arising prior to such time). In litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Creditors and their Affiliates shall be entitled to select their own counsel and, if arising after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Borrowers agree to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. To the extent that the respective interests of the Creditors in such litigation do not, and reasonably could not be expected to, conflict (such determination of existing or potential conflict to be made by the Creditors using their reasonable good faith judgment), the Creditors shall make reasonable efforts to use common counsel in connection with such litigation and the preparation therefor. If, and to the extent that the obligations of a Borrower under this Section 17.9 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrowers hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law.

17.10 USA Patriot Act Notice; Bank Secrecy Act. The Facility Agent hereby notifies each of the Security Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56, signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “Patriot Act”), and the policies and practices of the Facility Agent, each of the Creditors is required to obtain, verify and record certain information and documentation that identifies each of the Security Parties, which information includes the name and address of each of the Security Parties and such other information that will allow the Creditors to identify each of the Security Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act. In addition, each of the Security Parties shall comply, and cause any of its subsidiaries to comply, with all applicable Bank Secrecy Act laws and regulations, as amended.

17.11 CEA Eligible Contract Participant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document, no Security Party shall be deemed to guarantee, become jointly and severally obligated for or pledge assets in support of a “swap,” as defined in Section 1(a)(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) of another Security Party in favor of the Swap Bank if at the time that swap is entered into, such Security Party is not an “eligible contract participant” as defined in Section 1(a)(18) of the CEA.

In the event that any of the Borrowers delivers an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission, such Borrower shall also deliver an originally executed counterpart as soon as practicable, but the failure of such Borrower to deliver an originally executed counterpart of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of this Agreement.

(b) The Lenders may, but only through the Facility Agent, take action against any of the Borrowers and/or release or compromise in whole or in part the liability of the other Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or grant any time or other indulgence to any of the Borrowers, in each case without affecting the liability of the other Borrowers;

(d) None of the obligations or liabilities of the Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be discharged or reduced by reason of:


(i)	the insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, administration, receivership, amalgamation, reconstruction or other incapacity of any person whatsoever or any change of name or style or constitution of a Borrower or any other person liable;

(ii)

any Lender granting any time, indulgence or concession to, or compounding with, discharging, releasing or varying the liability of, a Borrower or any other person liable or renewing, determining, varying or increasing, any accommodation, facility or transaction or otherwise dealing with the same in any manner whatsoever, or concurring in, accepting, varying any compromise, arrangement or settlement or omitting to claim or enforce payment from a Borrower or any other person liable; or


(iii)	anything done or omitted which but for this provision might operate to exonerate the Borrowers or any of them;

(e) Each Borrower agrees that any rights which it may have at any time during the term of the Loan by reason of the performance of its obligations under the Transaction Documents to be indemnified by any other Borrower and/or to take the benefit of any security taken by the Agent pursuant to the Transaction Documents shall be exercised in such manner and on such terms as the Facility Agent may require or as provided in this Agreement. Each of the Borrowers agrees to hold any sums received by it as a result of its having exercised any such right on trust for the Facility Agent absolutely; and

(f) Each Borrower agrees that it will not at any time during the term of the Loan claim any set off or counterclaim against any other Borrower in respect of any liability owed to it by that other Borrower under or in connection with the Transaction Documents, nor prove in competition with any of the Lenders in any liquidation of (or analogous proceeding in respect of) any other Borrower in respect of any payment made under the Transaction Documents or in respect of any sum which includes the proceeds of realisation of any security held by the Facility Agent for the repayment of the Loan.

Ltd. and NIBC Bank N.V., as mandated lead arrangers, (iii) DNB Markets, Inc., as book runner, and (v) the financial institutions identified on Schedule 1 to the Loan Agreement (together with any bank or financial institution which becomes a lender pursuant to Section 10 of the Loan Agreement, the “Lenders”), as consented to and agreed by, inter alios, the Guarantors. The Borrowers shall repay the indebtedness represented by this Note as provided in Section 5 of the Loan Agreement. This Note may be prepaid on such terms as provided in the Loan Agreement.

Unless otherwise defined herein, words and expressions used herein (including those in the foregoing paragraph) and defined in the Loan Agreement shall have the same meaning herein as therein defined.

The Borrowers shall also pay interest on the Loan from the date of drawdown until payment in full at the rates determined from time to time in accordance with Section 6 of the Loan Agreement, which provisions are incorporated herein with full force and effect as if they were fully set forth herein. Any principal payment not paid when due, whether on an installment payment date or by acceleration, shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. All interest shall accrue and be calculated on the actual number of days elapsed and on the basis of a 360-day year.

Both principal and interest are payable in Dollars to the Facility Agent, for the account of the Lenders, as the Facility Agent may direct, in immediately available same day funds.

If this Note or any payment required to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Banking Day, the due date thereof shall be extended until the next following Banking Day and interest shall be payable during such extension at the rate applicable immediately prior thereto, unless such next following Banking Day falls in the following calendar month, in which case the due date thereof shall be adjusted to the immediately preceding Banking Day.

This Note is the Note referred to in the Loan Agreement and is entitled to the security and benefits therein provided, including, but not limited to, such security as provided in the relevant Security Documents and any other relevant Transaction Document. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 8 of the Loan Agreement, the principal hereof and accrued interest hereon may be declared to be (or, with respect to certain Events of Default, automatically shall become) immediately due and payable.

Each Borrower hereby waives presentment, protest, demand for payment, diligence, notice of dishonor and of nonpayment, and any and all other notices or demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note, hereby waives and renounces all rights to the benefits of any statute of limitations and any moratorium, appraisement, exemption and homestead now provided or which may hereafter be provided by any federal or state statute, including, without limitation, exemptions provided by any federal or state statute, including, without limitation, exemptions provided by or allowed under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency laws, both as to itself and as to all of its property, whether real or personal, against the enforcement and collection of the obligations evidenced by this Note and any and all extensions, renewals and modifications hereof and hereby consents to any extensions of time, renewals, releases of any party this Note, waiver or modification that may be granted or consented to by the holder of this Note.

Each Borrower agrees that its respective liabilities hereunder are absolute and unconditional without regard to the liability of any other party and that no delay on the part of the holder hereof in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right hereunder preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.

If at any time this transaction would be usurious under applicable law, then regardless of any provision contained in the Loan Agreement or this Note or any other agreement made in connection with this transaction, it is agreed that (a) the total of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted for, charged or received upon the Loan Agreement, this Note or any other agreement shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum rate of interest authorized by applicable law, if any, and any excess shall be credited to the Borrowers and (b) if the Lenders elect to accelerate the maturity of, or if the Borrowers prepay the indebtedness described in this Note, any amounts which because of such action would constitute interest may never include more than the maximum rate of interest authorized by applicable law and any excess interest, if any, provided for in the Loan Agreement, in this Note or otherwise, shall be credited to the Borrowers automatically as of the date of acceleration or prepayment.

THE UNDERSIGNED AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, THE FACILITY AGENT, HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY HERETO OR ANY BENEFICIARY HEREOF ARISING IN RESPECT OF ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS NOTE.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

In the event that the Builder and/or the Refund Guarantor and/or the Assignor resort to arbitration pursuant to the Assigned Contracts, the Assignor will immediately notify the Assignee in writing that such arbitration has been initiated and of the identities of the appointed arbitrators, and upon termination of such arbitration, notify the Assignee in writing to that effect and supply the Assignee with a copy of the arbitration award.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Assignee shall not be entitled to collect amounts under this Assignment which are greater than the then outstanding amount under the Loan Agreement, the Note and any other Transaction Document.

THIS MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PLEDGE AGREEMENT (this “Pledge Agreement”) is made as of this [·] day of [·], 2015 between FALCON GLOBAL, LLC, a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands (herein called the “Pledgor”), and DNB BANK ASA, NEW YORK BRANCH (“DNB”), as security trustee for and on behalf of itself and the other Creditors, as pledgee (together with its successors and permitted assigns, herein called the “Pledgee”).

W I T N E S S E T H T H A T:

WHEREAS:

A.The Pledgor is the registered owner of one hundred percent (100%) of the membership interests (the “Membership Interests”) in each of Falcon Pearl LLC and Falcon Diamond LLC, each a single purpose company registered under the laws of the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands (each, a “Pledged Company”, and collectively, the “Pledged Companies”), which each Pledged Company has such authorized, issued and outstanding membership interests as is set forth on Schedule I;

B.By a senior secured loan agreement dated as of [ ], 2015 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), made by and among (i) Falcon Global LLC, Falcon Pearl LLC and Falcon Diamond LLC, as joint and several borrowers (each, a “Borrower” and together, the “Borrowers”), (ii) DNB, as facility agent for the Creditors (in such capacity, the “Facility Agent”) and security trustee for the Creditors (in such capacity, the “Security Trustee”), (iii) DNB Markets, Inc., Xxxxxxxx Capital Pte. Ltd. and NIBC Bank N.V., as mandated lead arrangers, (iv) DNB Markets, Inc., as book runner, and (v) the banks and financial institutions listed on Schedule 1 of the Loan Agreement, as lenders (together with any bank or financial institution which becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 10 of the Loan Agreement, the “Lenders”), as consented to and agreed by, inter alios, the Guarantors, the Lenders have agreed to provide to the Borrowers a senior secured term loan facility in the principal amount of up to Eighty Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($80,500,000) (the “Facility”);

C.It is a condition precedent to the availability of the Facility under the Loan Agreement that the Pledgor execute and deliver to the Pledgee, as security for the obligations of the Security Parties under or in connection with the Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee and the Lenders (the “Obligations”), a pledge of all of the Pledgor’s right, title and interest in and to the Membership Interests.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the Pledgor, the Pledgor agrees with the Pledgee as follows:

1.Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Loan Agreement shall have the same meanings when used herein.

2.Grant of Security. As security for the complete payment to the Facility Agent and the Creditors of all sums owing by the Borrower to the Creditors whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise, under and in connection with the Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the due and punctual performance by the Pledged Company of all other Obligations under the Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Pledgor hereby pledges, assigns and transfers to the Pledgee and hereby grants to the Pledgee a first lien on, and first security interest in, the following (the “Pledged Collateral”):

(i)the Membership Interests in each Pledged Company, and all distributions, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of said Membership Interests;

(ii)all additional Membership Interests of each of the Pledged Companies that may from time to time be acquired by the Pledgor in any manner and all cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such additional Membership Interests; and


(iii)	any proceeds of any of the foregoing.

3.Delivery of Irrevocable Proxy and Membership Interest Transfer.

The exercise by the Pledgee of voting rights evidenced by an Irrevocable Proxy shall be subject to the limitations thereon set forth in Section 8 hereof.


4.	Representations and Warranties. The Pledgor represents and warrants that:

(i)it is the legal and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Membership Interests in each Pledged Company, subject to no pledge, lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security interest, charge, option or other encumbrance whatsoever except for the lien and security interest created by this Pledge Agreement;

(ii)it has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform this Pledge Agreement and to create the security interest for which this Pledge Agreement provides;

(iii)the Membership Interests in each Pledged Company (a) have been duly and validly created pursuant to the limited liability company agreement of the respective Pledged Company and (b) constitute 100% of the legal and beneficial ownership interests of the Pledgor in each Pledged Company and 100% of the membership interests in such Pledged Company;

(iv)as of the date hereof, the Pledgor has not entered into any options, warrants or other agreements to acquire additional membership interests in any Pledged Company and there are no voting trusts or other member agreements or arrangements relating to any Membership Interests in any Pledged Company to which the Pledgor is a party other than the limited liability company agreement for the respective Pledged Company, except to the extent that grantees of any such interests at the same time pledge any and all such membership interests to the Pledgee at the time of issuance and that any options, warrants or other agreements with respect thereto are made subject to the foregoing requirements;

(v)this Pledge Agreement constitutes a valid obligation of the Pledgor, legally binding upon it and enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent such enforcement may be limited by equitable principles, principles of public policy or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditor’s rights;

(vi)the pledge, hypothecation and assignment of the Membership Interests in each Pledged Company pursuant to and/or described in this Pledge Agreement, together with any and all fillings and other actions necessary to perfect the security interest therein, creates a valid first perfected security interest in each of such Pledged Company’s Membership Interests and the proceeds thereof;

(vii)no consent of any other party which has not already been given is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity, enforceability or enforcement of this Pledge Agreement, and no consent, license, approval or authorization of, or registration or declaration with, any governmental authority, bureau or agency is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity, enforceability or enforcement of this Pledge Agreement;

(viii)the execution, delivery and performance of this Pledge Agreement will not violate or contravene any provision of any existing law or regulation or decree of any court, governmental authority, bureau or agency having jurisdiction in the premises or of the certificate of incorporation, articles of incorporation, bylaws or other constituent documents of the Pledgor or of any mortgage, indenture, security agreement, contract, undertaking or other agreement to which the Pledgor is a party or which purports to be binding upon it or any of its properties or assets and will not result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance on, or security interest in, any of its properties or assets pursuant to the provisions of any such mortgage, indenture, security agreement, contract, undertaking or other agreement; and

(ix)Pledgor owns no interest in any Pledged Company other than the Membership Interests.

5.Covenants. The Pledgor hereby covenants that during the continuance of this Pledge Agreement:

(i)it shall warrant and defend the right and title of the Pledgee conferred by this Pledge Agreement in and to the Membership Interests in each Pledged Company at the cost of the Pledgor against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever;

(ii)except as herein provided, it shall not sell, assign, transfer, change, pledge or encumber in any manner any part of the Membership Interests in any Pledged Company or suffer to exist any encumbrance on the Membership Interests;

(iii)without the prior written consent of the Pledgee, it will not amend or modify any limited liability company agreement relating to any Pledged Company including, without limitation, any amendment or modification which would cause the Membership Interests to constitute a security under Article 8 of the UCC;

(iv)it shall not vote the Membership Interests in any Pledged Company in favor of the consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or any other corporate reorganization of the respective Pledged Company;

(v)it shall not take from any Pledged Company any undertaking or security in respect of its liability hereunder or in respect of any other liability of any Pledged Company to the Pledgor and the Pledgor shall not prove nor have the right of proof, in competition with the Pledgee, for any monies whatsoever owing from any Pledged Company to the Pledgor, in any insolvency or liquidation, or analogous proceedings under any applicable law, of the Pledgor; and

(vi)the Pledgor shall not cause any Pledged Company to transfer or issue any additional membership interests in such Pledged Company nor any options, warrants or other agreements to do so issued or entered into, except to the extent that grantees of any such interests at the same time pledge any and all such membership interests to the Pledgee at the time of issuance and that any options, warrants or other agreements with respect thereto are made subject to the foregoing requirements.

6.Delivery of Additional Membership Interests. If the Pledgor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any membership certificates, option or rights, whether as an addition to, in substitution of, or in exchange for any of the Membership Interests, the Pledgor agrees to accept the same as the agent of the Pledgee and to hold the same in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee and to deliver the same forthwith to the Pledgee in the exact form received, with the endorsement of the Pledgor when necessary and/or appropriate instruments of transfer duly executed in blank, and Irrevocable Proxies and Transfers for any membership certificates so received, to be held by the Pledgee, subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Obligations. Any sums paid upon or in respect of the Membership Interests on the liquidation or dissolution of any Pledged Company shall be paid over to the Pledgee to be held by it as additional collateral security for the Obligations.

7.General Authority. The Pledgor hereby consents that, without the necessity of any reservation of rights against the Pledgor, and without notice to or further assent by the Pledgor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by any of the Creditors in connection with an Event of Default may be rescinded by the relevant Creditors and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of the Pledgor upon or for any part thereof, or any other collateral security (including, without limitation, any collateral security held pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents executed and delivered pursuant to the Loan Agreement) or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered, or released by the Pledgee, and the Transaction Documents, any guarantees and any other collateral security documents executed and delivered by any other Security Party and/or any Pledged Company or any other obligors in respect of the Obligations may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Pledgee may deem advisable, from time to time, and any other collateral security at any time held by the Pledgee for the payment of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any collateral security held pursuant to any other collateral security document executed and delivered pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the Transaction Documents) may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released, all without notice to or further assent by the Pledgor or any Pledged Company, which will remain bound hereunder, notwithstanding any such renewal, extension, modification, acceleration, compromise, amendment, supplement, termination, sale, exchange, waiver, surrender or release. The Pledgor waives any and all notices of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Pledgee upon this Pledge Agreement, and the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Pledge Agreement, and all dealings between any Pledged Company and the Pledgee shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Pledge Agreement. The Pledgor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or non-payment to or upon the Pledgor, the Pledged Companies or any other Security Party with respect to the Obligations. Pledgor waives any defense based on the invalidity or unenforceability of any other pledge in favor of Pledgee of membership interests in any Pledged Company or any failure of Pledgee to demand or receive a pledge of any other membership interest in any Pledged Company.

8.Voting Rights. (i) The Pledgee, as the holder of the Irrevocable Proxy, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to vote the Membership Interests in relation to any Pledged Company at its own discretion at any annual or special meeting, as the case may be, of the members of the respective Pledged Company, provided, however, that the Pledgee shall not exercise such right to vote until such time that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan Agreement in the payment or performance of the Obligations and shall not have been remedied to the Pledgee’s satisfaction or waived in writing and, provided, further, that if an event described in Section 8.1(i) or Section 8.1(q) (bankruptcy and inability to pay debts) of the Loan Agreement shall have occurred, the Pledgee may exercise any or all its rights hereunder.(ii) Unless and until there shall have occurred an Event of Default, the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral owned by it, and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof; provided that, in each case, no vote shall be cast or any consent, waiver or ratification given or any action taken or omitted to be taken which would violate or be inconsistent with the terms of any Transaction Document, or which could be reasonably be expected to have the effect of impairing the value of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or the position or interests of the Pledgee in the Pledged Collateral (including, without limitation, any action or inaction which would cause any of the Membership Interests to constitute a security under Article 8 of the UCC) unless expressly permitted by the terms of the Transaction Documents.

9.Default. The security constituted by this Pledge Agreement shall become immediately enforceable on the

occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement.

10.Remedies. At any time after the security constituted by this Pledge Agreement shall have become enforceable as aforesaid, or in the event any of the security created by or pursuant to this Pledge Agreement shall be imperiled or jeopardized in a manner deemed material by the Pledgee, whereupon the security constituted by this Pledge Agreement shall become enforceable, the Pledgee shall be entitled, without further notice to the Pledgor:

(i)subject to the limitations of Sections 9-610 and 9-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York (if applicable), to sell, assign, transfer and deliver at any time the whole, or from time to time any part, of the Pledged Collateral or any rights or interests therein, at public or private sale or in any other manner, at such price or prices and on such terms as the Pledgee may deem appropriate, and either for cash, on credit, for other property or for future delivery, at the option of the Pledgee, upon not less than 10 days’ written notice (which 10 day notice is hereby acknowledged by the Pledgor to be reasonable) addressed to the Pledgor at its last address on file with the Pledgee, but without demand, advertisement or other notice of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Pledgor).

(v)it becomes impossible or unlawful for the Owner to fulfill any of the covenants and obligations contained in this Mortgage and the Mortgagee considers that such impossibility or illegality will have a material adverse effect on its rights under this Mortgage or the enforcement thereof.

(A)If any Event of Default shall happen, the Mortgagee shall be entitled:

(i)to demand payment by written notice to the Owner of the Obligations, whereupon such payment shall be immediately due and payable, anything contained in the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other relevant Transaction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of the Mortgagee or the Creditors, as the case may be, under the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other relevant Transaction Documents, provided, however, that if, before any sale of the Vessel, all defaults shall have been remedied in a manner satisfactory to the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee may waive such defaults by written notice to that effect to the Owner; but no such waiver shall extend to or affect any subsequent or other default or impair any rights and remedies consequent thereon;

(ii)at any time and as often as may be necessary to take any such action as the Mortgagee may in its discretion deem advisable for the purpose of protecting the security created by this Mortgage and each and every expense or liability (including reasonable fees of counsel) so incurred by the Mortgagee in or about the protection of such security shall be repayable to it by the Owner promptly after demand, together with interest thereon at the rate provided for in Section 5(Q) hereof from the date whereon such expense or liability was incurred by the Mortgagee.

(iii)to exercise all the rights and remedies in foreclosure and otherwise given to the Mortgagee by any applicable law, including those under the provisions of the Maritime Law;

(iv)to take possession of the Vessel, wherever the same may be, without prior demand and without legal process (when permissible under applicable law) and cause the Owner or other Person in possession thereof forthwith upon demand of the Mortgagee to surrender to the Mortgagee possession thereof as demanded by the Mortgagee, and by notice to the Owner, request that the crew be ordered to remain onboard the Vessel, that the Master of the Vessel be ordered to sail the Vessel at the cost of the Owner to any port designated by the Mortgagee and/or that the Owner take such action regarding the Vessel as may be requested by the Mortgagee;

(ix)to sell the Vessel at public auction, free from any claim of or by the Owner of any nature whatsoever by first giving notice of the time and place of sale with a general description of the property in the following manner:


(a)	by publishing such notice for ten (10) consecutive days in a daily newspaper of general circulation published in New York City;


(b)	if the place of sale should not be New York City, then also by publication of a similar notice in a daily newspaper, if any, published at the place of sale; and

(c)

by sending a similar notice by facsimile confirmed by registered mail to the Owner at its address hereinafter set forth at least fourteen (14) days prior to the date of sale. Such sale of the Vessel may be held at such place as the Mortgagee in such notices may have specified, or such sale may be adjourned by the Mortgagee from time to time by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale and without further notice or publication the Mortgagee may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned; and such sale may be conducted without bringing the Vessel to the place designated for such sale and in such manner as the Mortgagee may deem to be for its best advantage, and the Mortgagee may become the purchaser at such sale.

(x)pending sale of the Vessel (either directly or indirectly) to manage, charter, lease, insure, maintain and repair the Vessel and to employ or lay up the Vessel upon such terms, in such manner and for such period as the Mortgagee in its absolute discretion deems expedient and for the purpose aforesaid the Mortgagee shall be entitled to do all acts and things incidental or conducive thereto and in particular to enter into such arrangements respecting the Vessel, her insurance, management, maintenance, repair, classification and employment in all respects as if the Mortgagee were the owner of the Vessel and without being responsible for any loss thereby incurred;

(xi)to recover from the Owner on demand any such losses as may be incurred by the Mortgagee in or about the exercise of the powers vested in the Mortgagee under Section 7(B)(x) above with interest thereon at the rate provided for in Section 5(Q) hereof from the date when such losses were incurred by the Mortgagee; and

PROVIDED, ALWAYS, that any sale of the Vessel or any interest therein by the Mortgagee pursuant to Section 7(B)(ix) above shall operate to divest all right, title and interest of the Owner, its successors and assigns, in or to the Vessel so sold and upon such sale the purchaser shall not be bound to see or inquire whether the Mortgagee's power of sale has arisen in the manner herein provided and the sale shall be deemed to be within the power of the Mortgagee and the receipt of the Mortgagee for the purchase money shall effectively discharge the purchaser who shall not be concerned with the manner of application of the proceeds of sale or be in any way answerable therefor.

In case the Mortgagee shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Mortgagee, then and in every such case the Owner and the Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the property, subject or intended to be subject to this Mortgage, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken.

(B)Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that a Total Loss of the Vessel which is covered by the insurance maintained by Owner pursuant to Section 5(B) hereof shall not be deemed to be a default under this Mortgage, the Loan Agreement, the Note or any of the other relevant Transaction Documents, or any of them.

8.Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale made either under the power of sale hereby granted

to the Mortgagee or under a judgment or decree in any judicial proceedings for the foreclosure of this Mortgage or for the enforcement of any remedy granted to the Mortgagee hereunder, any net earnings arising from the management, charter or other use of the Vessel by the Mortgagee under any of the powers herein contained or by law provided and the proceeds of any and all Insurances and any claims for damages on account of the Vessel or the Owner of any nature whatsoever and any Requisition Compensation, shall be applied as follows:

First:

To the payment of all costs and expenses (together with interest thereon as hereinbefore provided) of the Mortgagee, the Facility Agent and/or any of the other Creditors, including the compensation of their agents and attorneys, by reason of any sale, retaking, management or operation of the Vessel and all other sums payable to the Mortgagee, the Facility Agent and/or any of the other Creditors hereunder by reason of any expenses or liabilities incurred or advances made by it for the protection, maintenance and enforcement of the security or of any of its rights hereunder or in the pursuit of any remedy hereby conferred; and at the option of the Mortgagee to the payment of all taxes, assessments or liens claiming priority over the lien of this Mortgage;


Second:	To the payment of the Obligations in such priority as set forth in the Loan Agreement; and


Third:	Any surplus thereafter remaining, to the Owner or to the Owner's successors in interest or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

In the event that the proceeds are insufficient to pay the amounts specified in paragraphs “First” and “Second” above, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect the balance from the Owner or any other Person liable therefor.

9.No Waiver. No delay or omission of the Mortgagee or the other Creditors to exercise any right or power vested in it under the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other relevant Transaction Documents, or any of them shall impair such right or power or be construed as a waiver thereof or as acquiescence in any default by the Owner hereunder, nor shall the acceptance by the Mortgagee of any payments in connection with this Mortgage from any source be deemed a waiver hereunder. However, if at any time after an Event of Default and prior to the actual sale of the Vessel by the Mortgagee or prior to any foreclosure proceedings the Owner cures all Events of Default and pays all expenses, advances and damages to the Mortgagee consequent on such Events of Default, with interest at the rate provided for in Section 5(Q) hereof from the date when such expenses, advances and damages were incurred, then the Mortgagee may accept such cure and payment and restore the Owner to its former position, but such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any rights consequent thereon.

10.Delegation of Power. The Mortgagee shall be entitled at any time and as often as may be expedient to delegate all or any of the powers and discretions vested in it by this Mortgage (including the power vested in it by virtue of Section 12 hereof) in such manner and upon such terms and to such Persons as the Mortgagee in its absolute discretion may deem advisable.

11.Indemnity. Without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of the Mortgagee under the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other relevant Transaction Documents, the Owner hereby agrees and undertakes to indemnify the Mortgagee against all obligations and liabilities whatsoever and whensoever arising which the Mortgagee may incur in good faith in respect of, in relation to or in connection with the Vessel or otherwise howsoever in relation to or in connection with the enforcement of the Mortgagee's rights hereunder or under the Loan Agreement, the Note or any of the other relevant Transaction Documents.


12.	Power of Attorney.

(A)The Owner hereby irrevocably appoints the Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact for the duration of the Security Period to do in its name or in the name of the Owner all acts which the Owner, or its successors or assigns, could do in relation to the Vessel, including without limitation, to demand, collect, receive, compromise, settle and xxx for (insofar as the Mortgagee lawfully may) all freights, hire, earnings, issues, revenues, income and profits of the Vessel, and all amounts due from underwriters under the Insurances as payment of losses or as return premiums or otherwise, salvage awards and recoveries, recoveries in general average or otherwise, and all other sums due or to become due to the Owner or in respect of the Vessel, and to make, give and execute in the name of the Owner, acquittance, receipts, releases or other discharges for the same, whether under seal or otherwise, to take possession of, sell or otherwise dispose of or manage or employ, the Vessel, to execute and deliver charters and a xxxx of sale with respect to the Vessel, and to endorse and accept in the name of the Owner all checks, notes, drafts, warrants, agreements and all other instruments in writing with respect to the foregoing. PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, unless the context otherwise permits under this Mortgage, such power shall not be exercisable by or on behalf of the Mortgagee unless and until any Event of Default stipulated in Section 7(A) hereof shall occur and shall not be exercisable after all defaults have been cured.

(B)The exercise of the power granted in this Section 12 by or on behalf of the Mortgagee shall not require any Person dealing with the Mortgagee to conduct any inquiry as to whether any such Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, nor shall such Person be in any way affected by notice that any such Event of Default has not occurred nor is continuing, and the exercise by the Mortgagee of such power shall be conclusive evidence of its right to exercise the same.

13.Appointment of Receiver. If any legal proceedings shall be taken to enforce any right under this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall be entitled as a matter of right to the appointment of a receiver of the Vessel and of the freights, hire, earnings, issues, revenues, income and profits due or to become due and arising from the operation thereof.

14.Commencement of Proceedings. The Mortgagee shall have the right to commence proceedings in the courts of any country having competent jurisdiction and in particular the Mortgagee shall have the right to arrest and take action against the Vessel at whatever place the Vessel shall be found lying and for the purpose of any action which the Mortgagee may bring before the local court for the jurisdiction of such court or other judicial authority and the Owner agrees that for the purpose of proceedings against the Vessel any writ, notice, judgment or other legal process or documents may be served upon the Master of the Vessel (or upon anyone acting as the Master) and that such service shall be deemed good service on the Owner for all purposes.

15.Partial Invalidity. In the event that any provision or provisions of this Mortgage shall be declared invalid, void or otherwise inoperative by any present or future court of competent jurisdiction in any country, the Owner will, without prejudice to any other right and remedy of the Mortgagee under the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage, the other relevant Transaction Documents or any of them, execute and deliver such other and further instruments and do such things as in the opinion of the Mortgagee or its counsel will be necessary or advisable to carry out the true intent and spirit of this Mortgage. In any event, any such declaration of partial invalidity shall not affect the validity of any other provision or provisions of this Mortgage, or the validity of this Mortgage as a whole.

16.Remedies; Remedies Cumulative and Not Exclusive; No Waiver. Each and every right, power and remedy herein given to the Mortgagee shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy of the Mortgagee now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy, whether herein given or otherwise existing, may be exercised from time to time, in whole or in part, and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by the Mortgagee in the exercise of any right or power or in the pursuance of any remedy accruing upon any breach or default by the Owner shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any such right, power or remedy or to be an acquiescence therein; nor shall the acceptance by the Mortgagee of any security or of any payment of or on account of any of the amounts due from the Owner to the Mortgagee and maturing after any breach or default or of any payment on account of any past breach or default be construed to be a waiver of any right to take advantage of any future breach or default or of any past breach or default not completely cured thereby.

17.Waiver; Amendment. None of the terms and conditions of this Mortgage may be changed, waived, modified or varied in any manner whatsoever unless in writing duly signed by the Owner and the Mortgagee (with the consent of the Majority Lenders, or all of the Lenders if required by Section 17.7 of the Loan Agreement).

ACCOUNTS CONTROL AGREEMENT AMONG

[·],

as Assignor AND

DNB BANK ASA, NEW YORK BRANCH,

as Security Trustee and Account Bank

[·], 2015

Accounts Control Agreement

THIS ACCOUNTS CONTROL AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the [·] day of [·], 2015, by and among (1) [·] LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands, as assignor (the “Assignor”), (2) DNB BANK ASA, New York Branch (“DNB”), not in its individual capacity but solely as security trustee for and on behalf of itself and the other Creditors and (3) DNB, as the account bank (the “Account Bank”), as the bank (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC as in effect on the date hereof in the State of New York (the “UCC”)) with which one or more “deposit accounts” (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC) are maintained by the Assignor.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS:

A.By a senior secured term loan agreement dated as of [·], 2015 (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) made by and among (1) Falcon Global LLC, Falcon Pearl LLC and Falcon Diamond LLC, as joint and several borrowers, (each, a “Borrower” and together, the “Borrowers”), (2) DNB, as facility agent for the Creditors (in such capacity, the “Facility Agent”) and security trustee for the Creditors (in such capacity, the “Security Trustee”), (3) DNB Markets, Inc., Xxxxxxxx Capital Pte. Ltd. and NIBC Bank N.V., as mandated lead arrangers, (4) DNB Markets, Inc., as book runner, and (5) the financial institutions identified on Schedule 1 to the Loan Agreement (together with any bank or financial institution which becomes a lender pursuant to Section 10 of the Loan Agreement), as lenders (the “Lenders”), as consented and agreed to by, inter alios, the Guarantors, pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed to make available to the Borrowers a senior secured term loan facility in the aggregate amount of up to Eighty Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($80,500,000) for the purposes of providing pre- and post- Delivery Date part financing for the Vessels (the “Loan”). Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Loan Agreement shall have the same meanings when used herein.

B.The Assignor has opened and maintains the deposit account or deposit accounts with the Account Bank set forth opposite its name in Schedule I attached hereto (each such account, an “Account” and collectively the “Accounts” and, together with the moneys from time to time on deposit therein, the “Collateral”);

C.The Assignor has executed and delivered to the Security Trustee, as security for the Assignor’s obligations under, inter alia, the Loan Agreement, an assignment and pledge of its Account(s) pursuant to an account pledge dated as of the date hereof (the “Account Pledge”) in favor of the Security Trustee; and

D.It is a condition precedent to the availability of the Loan that the Assignor and the Account Bank enter into this Agreement in order to establish “control” (as defined in Section 9-104 of the UCC) in each Account and to provide for the rights of the parties under this Agreement with respect to such Accounts.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency whereof are hereby acknowledged), it is hereby agreed as follows:

1.Assignor’s Dealings with Accounts; Notice of Exclusive Control. Until the Account Bank shall have received from the Security Trustee a Notice of Exclusive Control (as defined below), the Assignor shall be entitled to present items drawn on and otherwise to withdraw or direct the disposition of funds from its Account(s) and give instructions in respect of said Account(s); provided, however, that the Assignor may not, and the Account Bank agrees that it shall not permit the Assignor to, without the Security Trustee’s prior written consent, close any Account. If upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default the Security Trustee shall give to the Account Bank a notice of the Security Trustee’s exclusive control of the Accounts, which notice states that it is a “Notice of Exclusive Control” (a “Notice of Exclusive Control”), only the Security Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw funds from the Accounts, to give any instructions in respect of the Accounts and any funds held therein or credited thereto or otherwise to deal with the Accounts.


2.	Security Trustee’s Right to Give Instructions as to the Accounts.

(a)Notwithstanding the foregoing or any separate agreement that the Assignor may have with the Account Bank, the Security Trustee shall be entitled, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default for purposes of this Agreement, at any time to give the Account Bank instructions as to the withdrawal or disposition of any funds from time to time credited to any Account, or as to any other matters relating to any Account or any other Collateral, without further consent from the Assignor. The Assignor hereby irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Account Bank, and the Account Bank hereby agrees, to comply with any such instructions from the Security Trustee without any further consent from the

Assignor. Such instructions may include the giving of stop payment orders for any items being presented to any Account for payment. The Account Bank shall be fully entitled to rely on, and shall comply with, such instructions from the Security Trustee even if such instructions are contrary to any instructions or demands that the Assignor may give to the Account Bank. In case of any conflict between instructions received by the Account Bank from the Security Trustee and from the Assignor, the instructions from the Security Trustee shall prevail.

(b)It is understood and agreed that the Account Bank’s duty to comply with instructions from the Security Trustee regarding the Accounts is absolute, and the Account Bank shall be under no duty or obligation, nor shall it have the authority, to inquire or determine whether or not such instructions are in accordance with the Account Pledge, the Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document, nor seek confirmation thereof from the Assignor or any other Person.

3.Assignor’s Exculpation and Indemnification of Account Bank. The Assignor hereby irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Account Bank to follow instructions from the Security Trustee regarding its Account(s) even if the result of following such instructions from the Security Trustee is that the Account Bank dishonors items presented for payment from any such Account. The Assignor further confirms that the Account Bank shall have no liability to the Assignor for wrongful dishonor of such items in following such instructions from the Security Trustee. The Account Bank shall have no duty to inquire or determine whether any of the Assignor’s obligations to the Security Trustee are in default or whether the Security Trustee is entitled, under any separate agreement between the Assignor and the Security Trustee, to give any such instructions. The Assignor further agrees to be responsible for the Account Bank’s customary charges and to indemnify the Account Bank from and to hold the Account Bank harmless against any loss, cost or expense that the Account Bank may sustain or incur in acting upon instructions which the Account Bank believes in good faith to be instructions from the Security Trustee excluding any loss, cost or expense to the extent incurred as a direct result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Account Bank.

4.Subordination of Security Interests; Account Bank’s Recourse to Accounts. The Account Bank hereby subordinates any claims and security interests it may have against, or with respect to, any Account at any time established or maintained with it by the Assignor (including any amounts, investments, instruments or other Collateral from time to time on deposit therein) to the security interests of the Security Trustee (for the benefit of the Lenders) therein, and agrees that no amounts shall be charged by it to, or withheld or set-off or otherwise recouped by it from, any Account of the Assignor or any amounts, investments, instruments or other Collateral from time to time on deposit therein; provided that the Account Bank may, however, from time to time debit the Accounts for any of its customary charges in maintaining the Accounts or for reimbursement for the reversal of any provisional credits granted by the Account Bank to any Account, to the extent, in each case, that the Assignor has not separately paid or reimbursed the Account Bank therefor.

5.Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Account Bank. The Account Bank represents and warrants to the Security Trustee that:

(a)The Account Bank constitutes a “bank” (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC), that the jurisdiction (determined in accordance with Section 9-304 of the UCC) of the Account Bank for purposes of each Account maintained by the Assignor with the Account Bank shall be the State of New York.


(b)	Each of the Accounts is a “deposit account” (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC);

(c)The Account Bank shall not permit the Assignor to establish any demand, time, savings, passbook or other account with it which does not constitute an “account” (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC).

(d)The account agreements between the Account Bank and the Assignor relating to the establishment and general operation of the Accounts provide, whether specifically or generally, that the laws of New York govern secured transactions relating to the Accounts and that the Account Bank’s “jurisdiction” for purposes of Section 9-304 of the UCC in respect of the Accounts is New York. The Account Bank will not, without the Security Trustee’s prior written consent, amend any such account agreement so that the Account Bank’s jurisdiction for purposes of Section 9-304 of the UCC is other than a jurisdiction permitted pursuant to preceding clause (a). The Account Bank will promptly furnish to the Security Trustee a copy of the account agreement for each Account hereafter established by the Account Bank for the Assignor.

(e)The Account Bank has not entered and will not enter, into any agreement with any other Person by which the Account Bank is obligated to comply with instructions from such other Person as to the disposition of funds from any Account or other dealings with any Account or other of the Collateral.

(f)On the date hereof, the Account Bank maintains no Accounts for the Assignor other than the Accounts

specifically identified in Schedule I hereto.

(g)Any items or funds received by the Account Bank for any of the Assignor’s accounts will be credited to said Accounts specified in paragraph (f) above.

(h)The Account Bank will promptly notify the Security Trustee of each Account hereafter established by the Account Bank for the Assignor (which notice shall specify the account number of such Account and the location at which the Account is maintained), and each such new Account shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.

6.Account Statements and Information. The Account Bank agrees, and is hereby authorized and instructed by the Assignor, to furnish to the Security Trustee, at its address indicated below, copies of all account statements and other information relating to each Account that the Account Bank sends to the Assignor and to disclose to the Security Trustee all information requested by the Security Trustee regarding any Account.

7.Conflicting Agreements. This Agreement shall have control over any conflicting agreement between the Account Bank and the Assignor.

8.Merger or Consolidation of Account Bank. Without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, any bank into which the Account Bank may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any bank resulting from any merger to which the Account Bank shall be a party, shall be the successor of the Account Bank hereunder and shall be bound by all provisions hereof which are binding upon the Account Bank and shall be deemed to affirm as to itself all representations and warranties of the Account Bank contained herein.

9.Further Assurances. The Assignor agrees that if this Agreement shall in the reasonable opinion of the Assignee, at any time be deemed by the Assignee for any reason insufficient in whole or in part to carry out the true intent and spirit hereof or thereof, it will execute or cause to be executed such other and further assurances and documents as in the opinion of the Assignee may be required in order to more effectively accomplish the purposes of this Agreement.

10.Remedies; Remedies Cumulative and Not Exclusive; No Waiver. Each and every right, power and remedy herein given to the Assignee shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy of the Assignee now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy, whether herein given or otherwise existing, may be exercised from time to time, in whole or in part, and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Assignee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by the Assignee in the exercise of any right or power or in the pursuance of any remedy accruing upon any breach or default by the Assignor shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any such right, power or remedy or to be an acquiescence therein; nor shall the acceptance by the Assignee of any security or of any payment of or on account of any of the amounts due from the Assignor to the Assignee under or in connection with the Loan Agreement or any documents delivered in connection therewith and maturing after any breach or default or of any payment on account of any past breach or default be construed to be a waiver of any right to take advantage of any future breach or default or of any past breach or default not completely cured thereby.

11.Invalidity. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement would, if given effect, be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law applicable in any relevant jurisdiction, said provision shall not be enforceable against the Assignor, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions herein or therein contained shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. In the event that it should transpire that by reason of any law or regulation, or by reason of a ruling of any court, or by any other reason whatsoever, the assignment herein contained is either wholly or partly defective, the Assignor hereby undertakes to furnish the Assignee with an alternative assignment or alternative security and/or to do all such other acts as, in the reasonable opinion of the Assignee, shall be required in order to ensure and give effect to the full intent of this Agreement.

12.Continuing Security. It is declared and agreed that the security created by this Agreement shall be held by the Assignee as a continuing security for the payment of all moneys which may at any time and from time to time be or become payable by the Assignor under the Loan Agreement, the Note or any other Transaction Document and that the security so created shall not be satisfied by an intermediate payment or satisfaction of any part of the amount hereby secured and that the security so created shall be in addition to and shall not in any way be prejudiced or affected by any collateral or other security now or hereafter held by the Assignee for all or any part of the moneys hereby secured. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Assignee shall not be entitled to collect amounts under this Agreement which are greater than the then outstanding amount

under the Loan Agreement, the Note and any other Transaction Document.

13.Waiver; Amendment. None of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be changed, waived, modified or varied in any manner whatsoever unless in writing duly signed by the Assignee and the Assignor.

14.Termination. If the Assignor has irrevocably and indefeasibly paid and discharged all of its obligations under or in connection with the Loan Agreement, the Note and the other Transaction Documents or is released therefrom in accordance with the terms thereof, all of the right, title and interest herein assigned shall revert to the Assignor and this Agreement shall terminate.

15.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED BY AND AMONG THE ASSIGNOR, THE ASSIGNEE AND THE ACCOUNT BANK THAT EACH OF THEM HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY HERETO AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency whereof are hereby acknowledged), and by way of security for the due performance of the obligations of the Assignor under the Loan Agreement, the Note and the other relevant Transaction Documents, it is hereby agreed as follows:

1.Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Loan Agreement shall have the same meanings when used herein. For the purposes of this Pledge, when any term is modified by the word “relevant” such term shall be construed to mean with respect to, among others, as the case may be, the Assignor.

2.Grant of Security. As security for the complete payment to the Assignee of all sums owing by the Assignor to the Assignee whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise, under and in connection with the Loan Agreement, the Note and the other relevant Transaction Documents or otherwise, and the due and punctual performance by the Assignor of its obligations in connection with the foregoing, including, without limitation, the due and punctual performance by the Assignor of all its obligations under this Pledge now or hereafter existing hereinafter (the “Obligations”), the Assignor, as legal and beneficial owner, does hereby assign, transfer and set over unto the Assignee absolutely and does hereby grant a security interest in, all of its right, title and interest, present and future, in and to the Operating Account and all moneys from time to time on deposit in the Operating Account, together with interest on the foregoing and proceeds thereof.

3.Representations and Warranties. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Operating Account is a “deposit account” as such term in set forth in the Code. The Assignor does hereby warrant and represent that it has not assigned or pledged, and hereby covenants that it will not assign or pledge so long as this Pledge shall remain in effect, any of its right, title or interest in the whole or any part of the property hereby assigned to anyone other than the Assignee or as permitted by the Loan Agreement, and it will not take or omit to take any action, the taking or omission of which might result in a material alteration or impairment of the rights hereby assigned or any of the rights created in this Pledge; the Assignor further represents that the lien created hereby constitutes a perfected first priority security interest in the Operating Account in favor of the Assignee; the Assignor shall not create, assume or suffer to exist any additional lien, charge, security interest, writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process upon the Operating Account.

4.Accounts Control Agreement. The Assignor represents that it has entered into an accounts control agreement which provides, inter alia, that the Operating Account shall be under the control of the Assignee, and that the Assignor shall have the right to withdraw and otherwise direct the disposition of funds in the Operating Account until such time as the Assignee shall have issued a notice to the Account Bank of its exclusive right to direct withdrawals from the Operating Account and to exercise all rights with respect to all of the funds in the Operating Account after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

5.Application of Proceeds. All moneys collected or received from time to time by the Assignee pursuant to this Pledge shall be applied in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement.

7.Remedies; Remedies Cumulative and Not Exclusive; No Waiver.

No delay or omission by the Assignee in the exercise of any right or power or in the pursuance of any remedy accruing upon any breach or default by the Assignor shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any such right, power or remedy or to be an acquiescence therein; nor shall the acceptance by the Assignee of any security or of any payment of or on account of any of the amounts due from the Assignor to the Assignee under or in connection with the Loan Agreement or any documents delivered in connection therewith and maturing after any breach or default or of any payment on account of any past breach or default be construed to be a waiver of any right to take advantage of any future breach or default or of any past breach or default not completely cured thereby.

8.Invalidity. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Pledge would, if given effect, be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law applicable in any relevant jurisdiction, said provision shall not be enforceable against the Assignor, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions herein or therein contained shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

It is declared and agreed that the security created by this Pledge shall be held by the Assignee as a continuing security for the Obligations which may at any time and from time to time be or become payable and that the security so created shall not be satisfied by an intermediate payment or satisfaction of any part of the amount hereby secured andthat the security so created shall be in addition to and shall not in any way be prejudiced or affected by any collateral or other security now or hereafter held by the Assignee for all or any part of the Obligations hereby secured.

12.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE ASSIGNOR AND THE ASSIGNEE HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY HERETO OR ANY BENEFICIARY HEREOF ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS PLEDGE.

The Assignor hereby agrees that so long as this Assignment is in effect it will not terminate, or consent to the termination of, the Interest Rate Agreement (including any Transaction), or amend, modify, supplement, or waive any material term of the Interest Rate Agreement (including any Transaction), in each case without first obtaining the written consent of the Assignee therefor. The Assignor hereby agrees to furnish the Assignee in writing with any information which it reasonably requests in relation to the Interest Rate Agreement.

No amendment or modification of the Interest Rate Agreement (including any Transaction), and no consent, waiver or approval with respect thereto shall be valid unless joined in, in writing, by the Assignee. No notice, request or demand under the Interest Rate Agreement shall be valid as against the Assignee unless and until a copy thereof is furnished to the Assignee.

It is expressly agreed that anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Assignee shall have no obligation or liability under the Interest Rate Agreement by reason of or arising out of this Assignment nor shall the Assignee be required or obligated in any manner to perform or to fulfill any obligations of the Assignor under or pursuant to the Interest Rate Agreement nor to make any payment nor to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Assignee nor to present or file any claim, nor to take any other action to collect or enforce the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled hereunder at any time or times.

The Assignor does hereby constitute the Assignee, its successors and assigns, the Assignor’s true and lawful attorney, irrevocably, with full power (in the name of the Assignor or otherwise), upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, to ask, require, demand, receive, compound and give acquittance for any and all moneys, claims, property and rights hereby assigned, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or to take any action or institute any proceedings which the Assignee may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises.

The powers and authority granted to the Assignee herein have been given for a valuable consideration and are hereby declared to be irrevocable.

The Assignor agrees that at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Assignee, the Assignor will promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments and documents as the Assignee may deem desirable in obtaining the full benefits of this Assignment and of the rights and powers herein granted.
