THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of May 6, 2011, among GENERAL MARITIME SUBSIDIARY CORPORATION, a Xxxxxxxx Islands corporation and GENERAL MARITIME SUBSIDIARY II CORPORATION, a Xxxxxxxx Islands corporation, (individually or collectively, as the context may require, referred to as “Borrower”), GENERAL MARITIME CORPORATION, a Xxxxxxxx Islands corporation (“Parent”), and ARLINGTON TANKERS LTD., a Bermuda corporation (“Arlington”) the Lenders party hereto from time to time, and OCM ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, LLC, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”) and as Collateral Agent under the Security Documents (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Collateral Agent”). All capitalized terms used herein and defined in Section 11 are used herein as therein defined.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, in order to effectuate, among other things, an amendment and restatement of the 2008 Credit Agreement and to effectuate certain amendments to the 2010 Credit Agreement, Borrower will require $200,000,000 to make certain payments to lenders under the 2008 Credit Agreement and 2010 Credit Agreement and pay fees incurred in connection with the amendment of the 2010 Credit Agreement, and, in order to effectuate such repayments, Borrower has requested that the Lenders extend credit to Borrower pursuant to, and in accordance with this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Parent, the Agent and the Original Lender (as defined herein) are party to a Credit Agreement dated as of March 29, 2011 (the “Original Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Borrowers, Arlington, the Lenders, the Parent and the Agent wish to amend and restate the Original Credit Agreement in its entirety to provide certain amendments hereto to satisfy certain conditions contained in the Original Credit Agreement and this Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, in consideration of the foregoing, inter alia, Parent and its Subsidiaries shall provide Lenders and Collateral Agent with Liens on collateral securing the obligations hereunder on a third lien basis to the existing collateral securing the 2008 Credit Agreement and 2010 Credit Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1 - AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT FACILITY.

1.01 The Loans. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make on the Closing Date a term loan (a “Loan” and, collectively, the “Loans”) to Borrower, which Loans (i) shall bear interest in accordance with Section 1.07, (ii) shall be denominated in Dollars, and (iii) may be repaid in accordance with the provisions hereof.

1.02 Intentionally Omitted.

1.03 Notice of Borrowing. (a) With respect to the Borrowing hereunder, Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three Business Days’ prior to the Closing Date (or such lesser time period as reasonably agreed by the Administrative Agent). Such written notice (a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 1.09, shall be irrevocable and shall be given by Borrower in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, appropriately completed to specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), and (iii) to which account the proceeds of such Loans are to be deposited. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make Loans, notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

(b) Without in any way limiting the obligation of Borrower to deliver a written Notice of Borrowing in accordance with Section 1.03(a), the Administrative Agent may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing, believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from the Chairman of the Board, Chief Administrative Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer or the Treasurer of Borrower (or any other officer of Borrower designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Administrative Officer, President or Treasurer of Borrower as being authorized to give such notices under this Agreement) prior to receipt of a Notice of Borrowing. In each such case, Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice of such proposed Borrowing, absent manifest error.

1.04 Disbursement of Funds. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) (or such earlier time as the Administrative Agent agrees to) on the Closing Date, each Lender will make available its pro rata portion of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date, if the conditions set forth in Section 5 have been satisfied (as determined by the Lenders). All such amounts shall be made available in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office of the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent will make available to Borrower (prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York Time) on such day to the extent of funds actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon (New York Time) on such day) at the Payment Office, in the account specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders.

1.05 Notes.

(a) Each Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall, if requested by such Lender, be evidenced by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by Borrower in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent hereto with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”).

(b) Each Note shall (i) be executed by Borrower, (ii) be payable to the order of such Lender that has requested a Note and be dated the Closing Date, (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Lender’s pro rata share of the Loans and be payable in the

principal amount of the Loans evidenced thereby, (iv) mature on the Maturity Date, (v) bear interest as provided in Section 1.07 in respect of the Loans evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment and mandatory repayment as provided in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(c) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and will, prior to any transfer of any of its Notes, endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in any such notation or endorsement shall not affect Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 1.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall be delivered only to Lenders that at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by Borrower that would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the Credit Documents. Any Lender that does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (c). At any time (including, without limitation, to replace any Note that has been destroyed or lost) when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans provided that, in the case of a substitute or replacement Note, Borrower shall have received from such requesting Lender (i) an affidavit of loss or destruction and (ii) a customary lost/destroyed Note indemnity, in each case in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Borrower and such requesting Lender, and duly executed by such requesting Lender.

1.06 Joint and Several. The obligations of General Maritime Subsidiary Corporation and General Maritime Subsidiary II Corporation as “Borrower” hereunder and under the other Credit Documents are joint and several. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reference is hereby made to the Holdings Guaranty, to which the obligations of Arlington and the Parent are subject.

1.07 Interest.

(a) Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Loan (as such principal amount may be increased or decreased pursuant hereto) from the date the proceeds thereof are made available to Borrower until the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Loan at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period plus 6% if Borrower elects to make such payment in cash on the applicable Interest Payment Date, (ii) prior to a Qualified Stock Issuance, the Eurodollar Rate for each interest period plus 9% if Borrower elects to make such payment by adding it to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans on the applicable Interest Payment Date, and (iii) after a Qualified Stock Issuance, the Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period plus 7% if Borrower elects to make such payment by adding it to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans on the applicable

Interest Payment Date. Interest may be paid in cash or in kind at the election of Borrower in accordance with the foregoing, which election shall be made in writing and provided to the Administrative Agent prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date.

(b) Without duplication, (1) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan and any other overdue amount payable hereunder, in each case at a per annum rate equal to 2 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder, such amount to be payable on demand in cash (provided, however, that, to the extent all or any portion of such interest is not permitted to be paid on demand in cash when due pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreements, such amounts shall be payable solely by adding the amount of such interest to the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loan), (2) from (I) the end of the applicable cure period for an Event of Default subject to a cure period or (II) the 45th day after the occurrence of an Event of Default that is not subject to a cure period, in each case, so long as such Event of Default is not waived and for so long as such Event of Default is continuing, each Loan and all other Obligations shall bear interest on the outstanding amount thereof at a per annum rate equal to 2 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder, such amount to (x) accrue from and after such 45th day upon notice by the Administrative Agent at any time or upon an Event of Default under Section 10.05 and (y) be payable on demand in cash or in kind at the election of the Borrower and (3) at any time during a Standstill Extension Period, under and as defined in the Intercreditor Agreements, each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a per annum rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate plus 9%, which amount shall be payable on the last day of each month in cash.

(c) Upon and after the occurrence of any (1) Dilutive Issuance or (2) material breach (after notice and, if such breach is curable, the opportunity to cure), excluding a Dilutive Issuance, by Parent of the terms of the Investment Agreement and/or the Warrants (including, with respect to any adjustment to the number of shares of common stock obtainable upon exercise of the Warrant, issuance of additional Warrants, rights or securities to the holder under the Warrant and/or any failure to issue Warrant Exercise Shares upon exercise of any Warrants) (any of the foregoing, an “Interest Rate Adjustment Event”), the per annum interest rate on the Notes shall increase by two percentage points and shall thereafter increase by an additional two percentage points on each 3-month anniversary of such Interest Rate Adjustment Event (subject to an aggregate cap on the interest rate hereunder of 18% per annum) and shall remain at such rate until all Interest Rate Adjustment Events have been cured or waived in writing by Lender, it being understood that (A) solely with respect to the matter described in clause (1) the interest rate adjustment described in this paragraph shall be the only remedy available to Lender and any other Person; provided that the foregoing shall not limit any remedies under the Investment Agreement or the Warrants with respect to any breach by the Parent thereof, including with respect to obtaining the Shareholder Approval, and (B) solely with respect to any material breach described in clause (2) the interest rate adjustment described in this paragraph shall be in addition to any other remedies available to Lenders, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Credit Documents.

(d) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the Loans and shall promptly notify Borrower and the respective Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

1.08 Intentionally omitted.

1.09 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent):

(i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Loan because of (x) any change since the Closing Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, for example, but not limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on such Loan or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income, gross receipts or net profits of such Lender, or any franchise tax based on net income, net profits or net worth, of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which such Lender’s principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein), but without duplication of any amounts payable in respect of Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 4.04, or (B) a change in official reserve requirements but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the Closing Date affecting such Lender or the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in such market; or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) and/or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date which materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i), the rate of interest applicable to any affected Loans then outstanding shall be the Base Rate, as in effect from time to time, plus the applicable margin set forth in Section 1.07(a) as in effect from time to time minus 1%, from the date such notice is delivered to Borrower and thereafter until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon written demand therefor,

such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its reasonable good faith discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for and the calculation thereof, submitted to Borrower by such Lender in good faith shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent and Borrower (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the other Lenders) and thereafter (A) except in the case of an event of the type described in clause (iii)(z) above, Borrower shall prepay in full the affected Loans of such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon (and, in the event all of such Lender’s Loans are being repaid, any other amounts which may be owing to such Lender hereunder (including, without limitation, any accrued and unpaid interest)), on either the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to each such affected Loan (if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loans) or immediately (if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loans to such day) and (B) in the case of an event of the type described in clause (iii)(z) above, all outstanding Loans of such Lender shall, from the date such notice is delivered to Borrower and thereafter until such time as the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall notify Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to the operation of clause (iii)(z) above with respect to such Lender no longer exist, bear interest at a rate equal to the Base Rate, as in effect from time to time. The Administrative Agent and each Lender (to the extent it continues to be a Lender hereunder) agree that if any of them gives notice to Borrower of any of the events described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, it shall promptly notify Borrower and, in the case of any such Lender, the Administrative Agent, if such event ceases to exist.

(b) If any Lender in good faith determines that after the Closing Date the introduction of or effectiveness of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or requested to be maintained by such Lender, or any corporation controlling such Lender, based on the existence of its obligations hereunder, then Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 1.09(b) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto.

regulation or any applicable order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (except pursuant to the Security Documents) upon any of the material properties or assets of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement or loan agreement, or any other material agreement, contract or instrument, to which the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its material property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject, or (iii) violate any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws (or equivalent organizational documents) of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

7.05 Financial Statements; Financial Condition; Undisclosed Liabilities. (a) The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Parent as at December 31, 2008, December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by, in the case of the annual financial statements, an unqualified report from Deloitte & Touche LLP, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Parent as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has any material guarantee obligations, contingent liabilities or liabilities for Taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the financial statements referred to in the preceding sentence (it being understood that with respect to guarantee obligations, the underlying debt is so reflected).

(b) Except as fully disclosed in the financial statements and the notes related thereto delivered pursuant to Section 7.05(a), there are no liabilities or obligations with respect to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) which, either individually or in the aggregate, would be materially adverse to the Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. None of the Credit Parties knows of any basis for the assertion against it of any material liability or obligation of any nature that is not fairly disclosed (including, without limitation, as to the amount thereof) in the financial statements and the notes related thereto delivered to the Lender.

(c) Since December 31, 2010, there have been no events, circumstances, developments or other changes in facts that would, individually or in the aggregate, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect on the Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(d) The projections delivered by the Parent to the Lenders prior to the Closing Date have been prepared in good faith and are based on GAAP and reasonable assumptions, and there are no statements or conclusions in such Projections which are based upon or include information known to the Parent on the Closing Date to be misleading in any material respect or which fail to take into account material information known to the Parent on the Closing Date regarding the matters reported therein. On the Closing Date, the Parent believes that such projections are reasonable and attainable, it being recognized by the Lenders, however, that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by the projections may differ from the projected results included in such projections, which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

7.06 Litigation. There are no actions, suits, investigations (conducted by any governmental or other regulatory body of competent jurisdiction) or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent, Arlington or the Borrowers threatened against any Credit Party that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.07 True and Complete Disclosure. (a) All factual information, taken individually or as a whole, furnished by or on behalf of the Parent, Arlington or the Borrower, in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including, without limitation, all information contained in the Documents and any financial statement) for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein is, and all other such factual information, taken individually or as a whole, hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Parent, Arlington or Borrower, in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender will be, true and accurate in all material respects and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances when made, not misleading. All projections that are part of such information (including those set forth in any projections delivered subsequent to the Closing Date) are based upon good faith estimates and stated assumptions believed to be reasonable and fair as of the date made in light of conditions and facts then known and, as of such date, reflect good faith, reasonable and fair estimates of the information projected for the periods set forth therein; it is recognized by each Lender and the Administrative Agent that such projections and determinations provided by the Parent or Borrower, although reflecting the Parent’s or Borrower’s good faith projections and determinations, are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results covered by any such determination may differ from the projected results.

(b) The Parent has provided to each Lender a true and correct copy of each agreement, document or other instrument or information (including a true, correct and complete description of any event, circumstance or arrangement) that would be required by Item 601 of Reg. S-K to be included as an exhibit to the Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 or that would be required to be filed by the Parent on Form 8-K, in each case except as included in the Filed SEC Documents (with respect to any such matters

arising prior to the date of this Agreement) or in the SEC Documents filed after the date hereof and no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (with respect to any such matters arising after the date of this Agreement), in each case including any and all amendments, supplements and modifications thereto, regardless of whether any such amendments, supplements or modifications would be required to be filed in any SEC Document.

(b) No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof will violate or be inconsistent with the Margin Regulations except to purchase or carry or extend credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying such Margin Stock as may be permitted hereunder to be purchased or carried.

7.09 Tax Returns and Payments. The Parent and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed all U.S. federal income tax returns, statements, forms and reports for taxes and all other material U.S. and non-U.S. tax returns, statements, forms and reports for taxes required to be filed by or with respect to the income, properties or operations of the Parent and/or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Returns”). The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for taxes of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as a whole for the periods covered thereby. The Parent and each of its Subsidiaries have at all times paid, or have provided adequate reserves (in accordance with GAAP) for the payment of, all taxes shown as due on the Returns and all other material U.S. federal, state and non-U.S. taxes payable by them.

There is no material action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit, or claim now pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened by any authority regarding any taxes relating to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into an agreement or waiver or been requested to enter into an agreement or waiver extending any statute of limitations relating to the payment or collection of taxes of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or is aware of any circumstances that would cause the taxable years or other taxable periods of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries not to be subject to the normally applicable statute of limitations. Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has engaged in any “listed transaction” within the meaning of Section 6011 of the Code or (ii) has any actual or potential liability for the taxes of any Person (other than the Parent or any of its present or former Subsidiaries) under Treasury regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local, foreign or provincial law).

8.16 Guarantees; Additional Collateral. The Parent will cause each of its Subsidiaries that guarantees the Senior Credit Facilities and each of its Subsidiaries that is a “Restricted Subsidiary” under and as defined in the Senior Unsecured Note Indenture to guarantee the Obligations, provided that such guarantees may be delivered within 90 days of the date that such Restricted Subsidiary is required to be a guarantor of the Senior Unsecured Note Indenture and, provided further that, no “Restricted Subsidiary” under and as defined in the Senior Unsecured Note Indenture that owns assets in an amount less than $20,000 shall be required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

12.09 Resignation by the Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to Borrower and the Lenders. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Borrower.

(c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 15 Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of Borrower, shall then appoint a commercial bank or trust company with capital and surplus of not less than $500,000,000 as successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above with the consent of the Borrower; provided that any consent of Borrower under this Section 12.09(c) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time.

(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 25th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

12.10 Exculpation. (a) Neither Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Secured Creditor for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under any Credit Document, or in connection therewith, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order, nor responsible for any recitals or warranties herein or therein, nor for the effectiveness, enforceability, validity or due execution of any Credit Document, nor for the creation, perfection or priority of any Liens purported to be created by any of the Credit Documents, or the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or sufficiency of any collateral security, nor to make any inquiry respecting the performance by any Credit Party of its Obligations. Any such inquiry which may be made by any Agent shall not obligate it to make any further inquiry or to take any action. The Agents shall be entitled to rely upon advice of counsel concerning legal matters and upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement or writing which the such Agent believes to be genuine and to have been presented by a proper Person.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit Party or Lender shall assert, and each Credit Party and Lender hereby waives, any claim against any Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated herby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(c) No provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, shall require any Agent to: (i) expend or risk its own funds or provide indemnities in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or power or (ii) otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights or powers unless it is indemnified to its satisfaction and the Agent shall have no liability to any person for any loss occasioned by any delay in taking or failure to take any action while it is awaiting an indemnity satisfactory to it.

(d) No Agent shall be responsible for (i) perfecting, maintaining, monitoring, preserving or protecting the security interest or lien granted under this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) the filing, re-filing, recording, re-recording or continuing or any document, financing statement, mortgage, assignment, notice, instrument of further assurance or other instrument in any public office at any time or times or (iii) providing, maintaining, monitoring or preserving insurance on or the payment of taxes with respect to any of the Collateral.

(e) No Agent shall be required to qualify in any jurisdiction in which it is not presently qualified to perform its obligations as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable.

(f) Each Agent has accepted and is bound by the Credit Documents executed by such Agent as of the date of this Agreement and, as directed in writing by the Required Lenders, each Agent shall execute additional Credit Documents delivered to it after the date of

this Agreement; provided, however, that such additional Credit Documents do not adversely affect the rights, privileges, benefits and immunities of such Agent. Each Agent will not otherwise be bound by, or be held obligated by, the provisions of any credit agreement, indenture or other agreement governing the Obligations (other than this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which such Agent is a party).

(g) No written direction given to any Agent by the Required Lenders or the Borrower that in the sole reasonable judgment of such Agent imposes, purports to impose or might reasonably be expected to impose upon such Agent any obligation or liability not set forth in or arising under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents will be binding upon such Agent unless such Agent elects, at its sole option, to accept such direction.

(h) No Agent shall be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; terrorism; wars and other military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; business interruptions; loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority and governmental action.

(i) No Agent shall be under any obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, at the request, order or direction of the Required Lenders unless the same is given pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents and the Required Lenders shall have offered to such Agent security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to such Agent against the costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) which might be incurred therein or thereby.

(j) Each Agent may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys, accountants, appraisers or other experts or advisors selected by it in good faith as it may reasonably require and will not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any of them.

(k) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession, no Agent will have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Each Agent will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and no Agent will be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by such Agent in good faith without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(l) No Agent will be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross

negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Agent, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable order, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of any grantor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. Each Agent hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the present and future Secured Creditors concerning the perfection of the Liens granted hereunder or in the value of any of the Collateral.

(m) In the event that any Agent is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in such Agent’s sole reasonable discretion may cause such Agent to be considered an “owner or operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause such Agent to incur, or be exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, state or local law, such Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. No Agent will be liable to any person for any environmental liability or any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of such Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or release or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous materials into the environment.

(n) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Collateral Agent shall be afforded all of the rights, privileges, protections and immunities afforded to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement in connection with the execution and performance by the Collateral Agent of its obligations under each of the Credit Documents.

SECTION 13 - MISCELLANEOUS.

13.01 Payment of Expenses, etc. Borrower agrees that it shall: (i) whether or not the transactions herein contemplated are consummated, pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each of the Agents and Lenders (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP and other counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and local counsel) in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto or thereto, of the Agents and Lenders in connection with their respective syndication efforts with respect to this Agreement and of the Agents and each of the Lenders in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including in-house counsel) for each of the Agents and for each of the Lenders); (ii) pay and hold each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp, documentary, transfer, sales and use, value added, excise and other similar Taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and save each of the Administrative agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to the Administrative Agent or such

Lender) to pay such Taxes; and (iii) indemnify the Agents, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, and each of their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, representatives and agents from and hold each of them harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, Taxes and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and disbursements) incurred by, imposed on or assessed against any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, (x) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not any of the Agents, the Collateral Agent or any Lender is a party thereto) related to the entering into and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the consummation of any transactions contemplated herein, or in any other Credit Document or the exercise of any of their rights or remedies provided herein or in the other Credit Documents, or (y) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on any Vessel or in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any property at any time owned or operated by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, the generation, storage, transportation, handling, disposal or Environmental Release of Hazardous Materials at any location, whether or not owned or operated by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, the non-compliance of any Vessel or property with foreign, federal, state and local laws, regulations, and ordinances (including applicable permits thereunder) applicable to any Vessel or property, or any Environmental Claim asserted against Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any Vessel or property at any time owned or operated by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, including, in each case, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and other consultants incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any losses, liabilities, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless each of the Agents or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

13.02 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Subsidiary or Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any Subsidiary but in any event excluding assets held in trust for any such Person against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of the Parent or such Subsidiary, as applicable, to such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 13.06(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.

13.03 Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telexed, e-mail or telecopier communication) and mailed, telexed, telecopied or delivered: if to any Credit Party, at the address specified under its signature below; if to any Lender, at its address specified opposite its name on Schedule II below, with a copy to Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, c/x Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Facsimile (000) 000-0000; and if to the Administrative Agent, at its Notice Office; or, as to any other Credit Party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address as shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to Borrower and the Administrative Agent. All such notices and communications shall, (i) when mailed, be effective three Business Days after being deposited in the mails, prepaid and properly addressed for delivery, (ii) when sent by overnight courier, be effective one Business Day after delivery to the overnight courier prepaid and properly addressed for delivery on such next Business Day, or (iii) when sent by telex, e-mail or telecopier, be effective when sent by telex, e-mail or telecopier, except that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent.

13.04 Benefit of Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that (i) no Credit Party may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of the Lenders, (ii) although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in Section 13.04(b)) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and (iii) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (x) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest (except (m) in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates and (n) that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (x)) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (y) consent to the assignment or transfer by Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (z) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) securing the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may assign all or a portion of its Loan (and related outstanding Obligations hereunder) to any Eligible Transferee, each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that (i) new Notes will be issued, at Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 1.05, (ii) the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment pursuant to this paragraph (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments (it being understood that the indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.09, 1.10, 4.04, 13.01 and 13.06) shall survive as to such assigning Lender). To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 1.09, 1.10 or 4.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Notes or Loans to a trustee for the benefit of investors and in support of its obligation to such investors.

13.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Note would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Note to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

13.06 Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such

payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (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 Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

13.07 Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by Borrower to the Lenders). In addition, all determinations of compliance with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, shall utilize accounting principles and policies in conformity with those used to prepare the historical financial statements delivered to the Lenders for the fiscal year of Borrower ended December 31, 2010 (with the foregoing generally accepted accounting principles, subject to the preceding proviso, herein called “GAAP”). Unless otherwise noted, all references in this Agreement to “generally accepted accounting principles” shall mean generally accepted accounting principles as in effect in the United States.

(b) All computations of interest and Commitment Commission hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest are payable.

13.08 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN CERTAIN OF THE VESSEL MORTGAGES, BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES (OTHER THAN TITLE 14 OF ARTICLE 5 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY LENDER OR THE HOLDER OF ANY NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. IF AT ANY TIME DURING WHICH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT, BORROWER DOES NOT MAINTAIN A REGULARLY FUNCTIONING OFFICE IN NEW YORK CITY, IT WILL DULY APPOINT, AND AT ALL TIMES MAINTAIN, AN AGENT IN NEW YORK CITY FOR THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OR SUMMONS, AND WILL PROVIDE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS WRITTEN NOTICE OF THE IDENTITY AND ADDRESS OF SUCH AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS OR SUMMONS; PROVIDED THAT ANY FAILURE ON THE PART OF BORROWER TO COMPLY WITH THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS SENTENCE SHALL NOT IN ANY WAY PREJUDICE OR LIMIT THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OR SUMMONS IN ANY OTHER MANNER DESCRIBED ABOVE IN THIS SECTION 13.08 OR OTHERWISE PERMITTED BY LAW.

(b) TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (a) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

13.15 Intentionally Omitted.

13.16 Confidentiality. (a) Subject to the provisions of clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 13.16, each Lender agrees that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of Borrower (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors or counsel or to another Lender if the Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company or board of trustees in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 13.16(a) by the respective Lender, (b) as may be required in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (c) as may be required in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (d) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (e) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and (f) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender, provided that such prospective transferee expressly agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 13.16.

(b) Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its affiliates any information related to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any nonpublic customer information regarding the creditworthiness of Borrower or its Subsidiaries), provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender.

(c) Lenders may, by written notice to either of the Parent or Borrower from time to time, suspend and un-suspend the right of the Lenders to receive information, including but not limited to financial information and projections pursuant to Section 7.05, notices, documents, materials or other information with respect to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries which information is to be furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and during the pendency of any such suspensions, none of the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries

shall make available to the Lenders any such information, including but not limited to financial information and projections pursuant to Section 7.05, notices, documents, materials or other information nor otherwise provide Lenders with any material nonpublic information regarding the Parent or its Subsidiaries.

13.17 Register. Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 13.17, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment and prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Loans of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender. Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 13.17, except to the extent caused by the Administrative Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

13.18 Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from Borrower hereunder or under any of the Notes in the currency expressed to be payable herein or under the Notes (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s New York office on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency; if the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative

Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to Borrower.

13.19 Language. All correspondence, including, without limitation, all notices, reports and/or certificates, delivered by any Credit Party to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender shall, unless otherwise agreed by the respective recipients thereof, be submitted in the English language or, to the extent the original of such document is not in the English language, such document shall be delivered with a certified English translation thereof.

13.20 Waiver of Immunity. Borrower, in respect of itself, each other Credit Party, its and their process agents, and its and their properties and revenues, hereby irrevocably agrees that, to the extent that Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of its or their properties has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States, the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands, the Republic of Liberia, the United Kingdom, the Bahamas, Bermuda, the Republic of Malta or any other Acceptable Flag Jurisdiction or elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon the Obligations of Borrower or any other Credit Party related to or arising from the transactions contemplated by any of the Credit Documents, including, without limitation, immunity from service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal, immunity from execution of a judgment, and immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, Borrower, for itself and on behalf of the other Credit Parties, hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United States, the United Kingdom, Bermuda, the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands, the Republic of Liberia, the Bahamas, the Republic of Malta or elsewhere.

13.21 PATRIOT Act. The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub.: 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act, and each Credit Party agrees to provide such information from time to time to the Administrative Agent and any Lender.

13.22 Release of Subsidiary Guarantors. The Agents and the Lenders hereby agree to release any Mortgaged Vessels in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1(b) of the Intercreditor Agreements.

SECTION 14 - HOLDINGS GUARANTY

14.01 Guaranty. In order to induce the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder, and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the Parent from the proceeds of the Loans, each of the Parent and Arlington hereby agrees with the Secured Creditors as follows: Each of the Parent and Arlington hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or

otherwise, of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations of Borrower to the Secured Creditors and agrees that their obligations are joint and several with the Borrowers and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder and under the other Credit Documents. If any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations of Borrower to the Secured Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder, each of the Parent and Arlington, unconditionally and irrevocably, promises to pay such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent and/or the other Secured Creditors, or order, on demand, together with any and all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Creditors in collecting any of the Guaranteed Obligations. If a claim is ever made upon any Secured Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including Borrower), then and in such event, each of the Parent and Arlington agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon each of the Parent or Arlington notwithstanding any revocation of this Guaranty or other instrument evidencing any liability of Borrower, and each of the Parent and Arlington shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

14.02 Bankruptcy. Additionally, each of the Parent and Arlington unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Secured Creditors whether or not due or payable by Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 10.04, and irrevocably and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Secured Creditors, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States.

14.03 Nature of Liability. The liability of each of the Parent and Arlington hereunder is primary, absolute and unconditional, exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether executed by any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of each of the Parent and Arlington hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by Borrower or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by Borrower, or (e) any payment made to any Secured Creditor on the Guaranteed Obligations which any such Secured Creditor repays to Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and Borrower waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, (f) any action or inaction by the Secured Creditors as contemplated in Section 14.05, or (g) any invalidity, irregularity or enforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor.

14.04 Independent Obligation. The obligations of each of the Parent and Arlington hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other guarantor, any other party or Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each of the Parent or Arlington whether or not action is brought against any other guarantor, any other party or

Borrower and whether or not any other guarantor, any other party or Borrower be joined in any such action or actions. Each of the Parent and Arlington waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the Parent or Arlington.

14.05 Authorization. Each of the Parent and Arlington authorizes the Secured Creditors without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute or this Agreement and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

(a) in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest or fees thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Holdings Guaranty shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset thereagainst;

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Borrower, any other Credit Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, Borrower, other Credit Parties or other obligors;

(e) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of Borrower to its creditors other than the Secured Creditors;

(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of Borrower to the Secured Creditors regardless of what liability or liabilities of Borrower remain unpaid;

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or any Other Hedging Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any other Credit

Document, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or any Other Hedging Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or

(h) take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of either of the Parent or Arlington from its liabilities under this Holdings Guaranty.

14.06 Reliance. It is not necessary for any Secured Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

14.07 Subordination. Any indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owing to either of the Parent or Arlington is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations owing to the Secured Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of Borrower to either of the Parent or Arlington shall be collected, enforced and received by either of the Parent or Arlington for the benefit of the Secured Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Creditors on account of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Secured Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of either of the Parent or Arlington under the other provisions of this Holdings Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by either of the Parent or Arlington of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any such indebtedness of Borrower to either of the Parent or Arlington, the Parent or Arlington, as the case may be, shall xxxx such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Parent and Arlington hereby agrees with the Secured Creditors that neither the Parent or Arlington, as the case may be, will exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Holdings Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash. If and to the extent required in order for the Guaranteed Obligations either of the Parent or Arlington to be enforceable under applicable federal, state and other laws relating to the insolvency of debts, the maximum liability of either of the Parent or Arlington hereunder shall be limited to the greatest amount which can lawfully be guaranteed by either of the Parent or Arlington under such laws, after giving effect to any rights of contribution, reimbursement and subrogation arising under this Section.

14.08 Waiver. (a) Each of the Parent and Arlington waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable law and cannot be waived) to require any Secured Creditor to (i) proceed against Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Secured Creditor’s power whatsoever. Each of the Parent and Arlington waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of such payment, based on or arising out of the disability of Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or the validity, legality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of Borrower other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of such payment. The Secured Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any

other Secured Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Secured Creditors may have against Borrower, or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the Parent hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid. Each of the Parent and Arlington waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Secured Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of either of the Parent or Arlington against Borrower or any other party or any security.(b) Each of the Parent and Arlington waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Holdings Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. Each of the Parent and Arlington assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which each of the Parent and Arlington assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the other Secured Creditors shall have any duty to advise the Parent of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

14.09 Judgment Shortfall. (a) the Obligations of the Parent and Arlington under the Holdings Guaranty to make payments in the respective currency or currencies in which the respective Guaranteed Obligations are required to be paid (such currency being herein called the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the respective Secured Creditor of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Creditor under this Holdings Guaranty or the other Credit Documents, as applicable. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgments against the Parent or Arlington in any court or jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the rate of exchange (quoted by the Administrative Agent, determined, in each case, as of the date immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Parent and Arlington jointly and severally agree to pay, or cause to be paid, 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 of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate or exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

SCHEDULE VI — INSURANCE

Insurance to be maintained on each Mortgaged Vessel:

(a) The Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, at the Parent’s expense, keep each Mortgaged Vessel insured with insurers and protection and indemnity clubs or associations of internationally recognized responsibility, and placed in such markets, on such terms and conditions, and through brokers, in each case reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent (it being understood that Leeds and Leeds, AON and Xxxxx are acceptable) and under forms of policies approved by the Collateral Agent against the risks indicated below and such other risks as the Collateral Agent may specify from time to time:

(i) Marine and war risk, including terrorism, confiscation, piracy, London Blocking and Trapping Addendum and Lost Vessel Clause, hull and machinery insurance, hull interest insurance and freight interest insurance, together in an amount in U.S. dollars at all times equal to, except as otherwise approved or required in writing by the Collateral Agent, the greater of (x) the then Fair Market Value of the Mortgaged Vessel and (y) an amount which, when aggregated with such insured value of the other Mortgaged Vessels (if the other Mortgaged Vessels are then subject to a Vessel Mortgage in favor of the Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement, and have not suffered an Event of Loss), is equal to 120% of the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans at such time and (B) the aggregate principal amount outstanding, and revolving loan commitments, under the Senior Credit Facilities. The insured values for hull and machinery required under this clause (i) for each Mortgaged Vessel shall at all times be in an amount equal to the greater of (x) eighty per cent (80%) of the Fair Market Value of the Mortgaged Vessel and (y) an amount which, when aggregated with such hull and machinery insured value of the other Mortgaged Vessels (if the other Mortgaged Vessels are then subject to a Vessel Mortgage in favor of the Collateral Agent and have not suffered an Event of Loss), is equal to the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans at such time and (B) the aggregate principal amount outstanding, and revolving loan commitments, under the Senior Credit Facilities, and the remaining machine and war risk insurance required by this clause (i) may be taken out as hull and freight interest insurance.

(ii) Marine and war risk protection and indemnity insurance or equivalent insurance (including coverage against liability for crew, fines and penalties arising out of the operation of the Mortgaged Vessel, insurance against liability arising out of pollution, spillage or leakage, and workmen’s compensation or longshoremen’s and harbor workers’ insurance as shall be required by applicable law) in such amounts approved by the Collateral Agent; provided, however, that insurance against liability under law or international convention arising out of pollution, spillage or leakage shall be in an amount not less than the greater of:

(y) the maximum amount available, as that amount may from time to time change, from the International Group of Protection and Indemnity

Sch. VI - 1

Associations (the “International Group”) or alternatively such sources of pollution, spillage or leakage coverage as are commercially available in any absence of such coverage by the International Group as shall be carried by prudent shipowners for similar vessels engaged in similar trades plus amounts available from customary excess insurers of such risks as excess amounts shall be carried by prudent shipowners for similar vessels engaged in similar trades; and

(z) the amounts required by the laws or regulations of the United States of America or any applicable jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Vessel may be trading from time to time.

(iii) While the Mortgaged Vessel is idle or laid up, at the option of the Parent and in lieu of the above-mentioned marine and war risk hull insurance, port risk insurance insuring the Mortgaged Vessel against the usual risks encountered by like vessels under similar circumstances, the Collateral Agent shall, at the Parent’s expense, keep each Mortgaged Vessel insured with mortgagee’s interest insurance (including extended mortgagee’s interest-additional perils-pollution) on such conditions as the Collateral Agent may reasonable require and mortgagee’s interest insurance for pollution risks as from time to time agreed, in each case, satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in an amount in U.S. dollars which, when aggregated with such insured value of the other Mortgaged Vessels (if the other Mortgaged Vessels are then subject to a Vessel Mortgage in favor of the Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement, and have not suffered an Event of Loss), is equal to 120% of the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans at such time and (B) the aggregate principal amount outstanding, and revolving loan commitments, under the Senior Credit Facilities; all such Collateral Agent’s interest insurance cover shall in the Collateral Agent’s discretion be obtained directly by the Collateral Agent and the Parent shall on demand pay all costs of such cover; premium costs shall be reimbursed by the Parent to the Collateral Agent.

(b) The marine and commercial war-risk insurance required in this Schedule VI for each Mortgaged Vessel shall have deductibles no higher than the following: (i) Hull and Machinery - U.S. $300,000 for all hull and machinery claims and each accident or occurrence and (ii) Protection and Indemnity — U.S. $100,000 for collision liabilities, U.S. $50,000 for cargo claims, U.S. $35,000 for crew claims, U.S. $20,000 passenger claims and U.S. $20,000 all other claims, in each case each accident or occurrence.

All insurance maintained hereunder shall be primary insurance without right of contribution against any other insurance maintained by the Collateral Agent. Each policy of marine and war risk hull and machinery insurance with respect to each Mortgaged Vessel shall provide that the Collateral Agent shall be a named insured in its capacity as Mortgagee and as loss payee. Each entry in a marine and war risk protection indemnity club with respect to each Mortgaged Vessel shall note the interest of the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of their respective successors and assigns shall not be responsible for any premiums, club calls, assessments or any other obligations or for the representations and warranties made therein by the Parent, any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries or any other person.

Sch. VI - 2

(c) The Collateral Agent shall from time to time, and in any event at least annually, obtain a detailed report signed by a firm of marine insurance brokers acceptable to the Collateral Agent with respect to P & I entry, the hull and machinery and war risk insurance carried and maintained on each Mortgaged Vessel, together with their opinion as to the adequacy thereof and its compliance with the provisions of this Schedule VI. At the Parent’s expense the Parent will cause its insurance broker (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall be a different insurance broker from the firm of marine insurance brokers referred to in the immediately preceding sentence) and the P & I club or association providing P & I insurance referred to in part (a)(ii) of this Schedule VI, to agree to advise the Collateral Agent by telecopier or electronic mail confirmed by letter of any expiration, termination, alteration or cancellation of any policy, any default in the payment of any premium and of any other act or omission on the part of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of which the Parent has knowledge and which might invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on any Mortgaged Vessel, and to provide an opportunity of paying any such unpaid premium or call, such right being exercisable by the Collateral Agent on a Mortgaged Vessel on an individual basis and not on a fleet basis. In addition, the Parent shall promptly provide the Collateral Agent with any information which the Collateral Agent reasonably requests for the purpose of obtaining or preparing any report from the Collateral Agent’s independent marine insurance consultant as to the adequacy of the insurances effected or proposed to be effected in accordance with this Schedule VI as of the date hereof or in connection with any renewal thereof, and the Parent shall upon demand indemnify the Collateral Agent in respect of all reasonable fees and other expenses incurred by or for the account of the Collateral Agent in connection with any such report, provided that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to such indemnity only for one such report during a period of twelve months.

The underwriters of brokers shall furnish the Collateral Agent with a letter or letters of undertaking to the effect that

(i) they will hold the instruments of insurance, and the benefit of the insurances thereunder, to the order of the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of the loss payable clause referred to in the relevant Assignment of Insurances for each Mortgaged Vessel;

(ii) they will have endorsed on each and every policy as and when the same is issued the loss payable clause and the notice of assignment referred to in the relevant Assignment of Insurances for each Mortgaged Vessel; and

(iii) they will not set off against any sum recoverable in respect of a claim against any Mortgaged Vessel under the said underwriters or brokers or any other Person in respect of any other vessel nor cancel the said insurances by reason of non-payment of such premiums or other amounts.

All policies of insurance required hereby shall provide for not less than 14 days prior written notice to be received by the Collateral Agent of the termination or cancellation of the insurance evidenced thereby. All policies of insurance maintained pursuant to this Schedule VI for risks covered by insurance other than that provided by a P & I Club shall contain provisions

Sch. VI - 3

waiving underwriters’ rights of subrogation thereunder against any assured named in such policy and any assignee of said assured. The Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, assign to the Collateral Agent its full rights under any policies of insurance in respect of each Mortgaged Vessel. The Parent agrees that it shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, deliver, unless the insurances by their terms provide that they cannot cease (by reason of nonrenewal or otherwise) without the Collateral Agent being informed and having the right to continue the insurance by paying any premiums not paid by the Parent, receipts showing payment of premiums for Required Insurance and also of demands from the Mortgaged Vessel’s P & I underwriters to the Collateral Agent at least two (2) days before the risk in question commences.

(d) Unless the Collateral Agent shall otherwise agree, all amounts of whatsoever nature payable under any insurance must be payable to the Collateral Agent for distribution first to itself and thereafter to the Parent or others as their interests may appear, provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, until otherwise required by the Collateral Agent by notice to the underwriters upon the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default hereunder, (i) amounts payable under any insurance on each Mortgaged Vessel with respect to protection and indemnity risks may be paid directly to (x) the Parent to reimburse it for any loss, damage or expense incurred by it and covered by such insurance or (y) the Person to whom any liability covered by such insurance has been incurred provided that the underwriter shall have first received evidence that the liability insured against has been discharged, and (ii) amounts payable under any insurance with respect to each Mortgaged Vessel involving any damage to each Mortgaged Vessel not constituting an Event of Loss, may be paid by underwriters directly for the repair, salvage or other charges involved or, if the Parent shall have first fully repaired the damage or paid all of the salvage or other charges, may be paid to the Parent as reimbursement therefor; provided, however, that if such amounts (including any deductible) are in excess of U.S. $2,000,000, the underwriters shall not make such payment without first obtaining the written consent thereto of the Collateral Agent.

(e) All amounts paid to the Collateral Agent in respect of any insurance on the Mortgaged Vessels shall be disposed of as follows (after deduction of the expenses of the Collateral Agent in collecting such amounts):

(i) any amount which might have been paid at the time, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) above, directly to the Parent or others shall be paid by the Collateral Agent to, or as directed by, the Parent;

(ii) all amounts paid to the Collateral Agent in respect of an Event of Loss of the Mortgaged Vessel shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to the payment of the Indebtedness hereby secured pursuant to Section 4.02(a) of the Credit Agreement, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements;

(iii) all other amounts paid to the Collateral Agent in respect of any insurance on the Mortgaged Vessel may, in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, be held and applied to the prepayment of the Obligations or to making of needed repairs or other work on the Mortgaged Vessel, or to the payment of other claims incurred by the Parent

Sch. VI - 4

or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Mortgaged Vessel, or may be paid to the Parent or whosoever may be entitled thereto.

(f) In the event that any claim or lien is asserted against any Mortgaged Vessel for loss, damage or expense which is covered by insurance required hereunder and it is necessary for the Parent to obtain a bond or supply other security to prevent arrest of such Mortgaged Vessel or to release the Mortgaged Vessels from arrest on account of such claim or lien, the Collateral Agent, on request of the Parent, may, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, assign to any Person, firm or corporation executing a surety or guarantee bond or other agreement to save or release the Mortgaged Vessel from such arrest, all right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent in and to said insurance covering said loss, damage or expense, as collateral security to indemnify against liability under said bond or other agreement.

(g) The Parent shall deliver to the Collateral Agent certified copies and, whenever so requested by the Collateral Agent, the originals of all certificates of entry, cover notes, binders, evidences of insurance and policies and all endorsements and riders amendatory thereof in respect of insurance maintained pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement and this Schedule VI for the purpose of inspection or safekeeping, or, alternatively, satisfactory letters of undertaking from the broker holding the same. The Collateral Agent shall be under no duty or obligation to verify the adequacy or existence of any such insurance or any such policies, endorsement or riders.

(h) The Parent will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, execute or permit or willingly allow to be done any act by which any insurance may be suspended, impaired or cancelled, and that it will not permit or allow the Mortgaged Vessels to undertake any voyage or run any risk or transport any cargo which may not be permitted by the policies in force, without having previously notified the Collateral Agent in writing and insured the Mortgaged Vessels by additional coverage to extend to such voyages, risks, passengers or cargoes.

(i) In case any underwriter proposes to pay less on any claim than the amount thereof, the Parent shall forthwith inform the Collateral Agent, and if a Default, an Event of Default or an Event of Loss has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the exclusive right to negotiate and agree to any compromise.

(j) The Parent will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with and satisfy all of the provisions of any applicable law, convention, regulation, proclamation or order concerning financial responsibility for liabilities imposed on the Parent, its Subsidiaries or the Mortgaged Vessels with respect to pollution by any state or nation or political subdivision thereof and will maintain all certificates or other evidence of financial responsibility as may be required by any such law, convention, regulation, proclamation or order with respect to the trade in which the Mortgaged Vessels are from time to time engaged and the cargo carried by it.
