The proceeds of any Capital Infusion up to Twenty million Dollars ($20,000,000) shall be deposited in one or more segregated accounts held by the New Guarantor for the purposes permitted by the Loan Agreement (the “Special Account”).

4.2 Available for Permitted Discretionary Activities. The Initial Capital Infusion shall be immediately available for Permitted Discretionary Activities.

4.3 Failure to raise or fund Final Capital Infusion. Failure to raise or otherwise fund the full amount of the Final Capital Infusion to the New Guarantor by the date that is six months after the Effective Date (the “Equity Outside Date”) shall be an Event of Default for the purposes of the Loan Agreement and the Finance Documents.

4.4 Additional Capital Infusions. In accordance with the Investment Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, the Final Capital Infusion shall be available to be drawn, at the discretion of the New Guarantor, on or prior to the Equity Outside Date to fund Permitted Discretionary Activities or to maintain compliance with the Minimum Liquidity Covenant. Any amounts so withdrawn (an “Additional Capital Infusion”) shall be in exchange for the issuance to the Management Shareholders of Preferred Equity of the New Guarantor issued separately and apart from the Rights Offering.

4.5 Calculation of Management Shareholders’ portion of the Final Capital Infusion. The Management Shareholders’ portion of the Final Capital Infusion shall be calculated as Seven million Dollars ($7,000,000) less the sum of (i) the amount, if any, received from other shareholders subscribing to the Rights Offering and (ii) the amount of the Additional Capital Infusion.

4.6 Use of Funds in the Special Account. The funds held in the Special Accounts shall be available, at the discretion of the New Guarantor, to fund Permitted Discretionary Activities or provide liquidity relief (including curing any breach of the Minimum Liquidity Covenant).

The holders of the Preferred Equity shall not be entitled to require the New Guarantor to redeem the Preferred Equity or pay cash dividends on such Preferred Equity before September 9, 2016 and, for the avoidance of doubt, even if such a request is made of the New Guarantor by the holders of the Preferred Equity the New Guarantor must still at all times act in accordance with the restrictions on dividends set out under clause 11.15 of the New Guarantee (as inserted pursuant to Clause 8.2(a) of this Agreement).

4.8 The Special Account. The proceeds of any Capital Infusion held in the Special Account shall not be pledged, but shall be available, at the discretion of the New Guarantor, to fund Permitted Discretionary Activities or provide liquidity relief (including curing any breach of the Minimum Liquidity Covenant). The Special Account shall be the property of the New Guarantor and providers of the Capital Infusion shall not have any residual rights with respect to funds in the Special Account. The Special Account may only be replenished as provided above in Clause 4.6, below in Clause 4.9 or in Clause 10.18(iii)(4) of the Loan Agreement as amended pursuant to this Agreement.

Any Excess Cash calculated at the end of each Measurement Period as aforesaid shall be payable within 60 days after the end of such period where that period is the end of a calendar year and within 45 days after the end of such period where that period is not the end of a calendar year towards prepayment of the principal amount (in inverse order of maturity of instalments) of the Financial Indebtedness owing to the Deferring Lenders in proportion to the percentage allocations specified against each of the TBS Credit Facilities in Schedule 1.

APPENDIX 2

POWER OF ATTORNEY

THIS POWER OF ATTORNEY is made on the [·] day of [·] by [·], a company incorporated under the laws of [·] whose [registered][principal] place of business is at [·] (the “Grantor”).

The Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints CREDIT SUISSE AG of St. Xxxxx Xxxxxx 0-0, XX Xxx XX-0000, Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx (the “Bank”) and each and every person to whom the Bank may from time to time delegate the exercise of this Power of Attorney jointly and also severally, each with full power to act alone, to be the attorney or attorneys of the Grantor on the Grantor’s behalf and in the Grantor’s name and as the Grantor’s act and deed to sign, seal, execute, deliver and perfect all documents and do all things as may be, or as the Bank may consider to be, necessary or desirable in the absolute discretion of the Bank to ensure and procure the deregistration of the Ship (as defined below) from the Filipino flag and the Filipino bareboat registry and to take whatever steps in the absolute discretion of the Bank are necessary or desirable under the laws of the Philippines, Panama or any other jurisdiction to that end, including without limitation:

(a) to execute, and procure that any third party executes, any consent, approval, application or other documents necessary or desirable to effect such deregistration;

(b) to notify the relevant maritime and governmental bodies of the Philippines and the Republic of Panama that the Charter (as defined below) has been terminated and that the Ship should be deleted from bareboat charter registration under the laws of the Philippines;

(c) to make any affidavit required by the Filipino and/or Panamanian authorities to confirm the termination of the Charter and to apply for an unrestricted permanent certificate of registration of the Ship in the Panamanian ship registry;

(d) to appear before any officer of any department or any court in connection with all matters relating to the powers herein contained;

(e) to terminate the bareboat charter registration of the Ship with the [name of Filipino ship registry] and/or any other body administering the ship registry and/or bareboat registry of the Philippines and to request the issuance by any such body to the Bank of a deletion certificate of the Ship;

(f) generally to do or cause to be done all such other acts, matters and things as the Bank shall in its absolute discretion think necessary or desirable for the proper exercise of all and every of the aforementioned powers as fully and effectually as the Grantor or its board of directors could do if personally present; and

(g) to cause this Power of Attorney to be registered or recognised with or by any official, authority or registry in any place.

The Grantor undertakes to ratify and confirm all things done and documents executed by the Bank in the exercise or purported exercise of the power of attorney hereby conferred. In favour of any person other than the Grantor who is a party to a document signed or executed under this Power of Attorney or to whom any such document is delivered, it shall be conclusively presumed that the Bank had full power to sign that document and to do everything which it may have purported to sign or execute or do under this Power of Attorney.

The Bank shall have full power to delegate the power conferred on it by this Power of Attorney. Such delegation by the Bank shall not preclude the subsequent exercise of such power by the

Bank itself or any subsequent delegation thereof by the Bank to any other person and the Bank who has delegated such power may revoke any such delegation at any time.

The Bank shall not, in respect of any matter referred to in this Power of Attorney (a “Pertinent Matter”) have, or be held to have assumed, any obligation to the Grantor except an obligation of honesty and those specific obligations (if any) which are expressly imposed on the Bank under this Power of Attorney. The Bank shall not be liable in respect of any claim or loss made or brought against or incurred by the Grantor in respect of any Pertinent Manner and which results from any cause whatsoever (regardless of whether the cause occurred before, on or after the date of this Power of Attorney unless the claim or loss is shown to have been directly or mainly caused by the dishonesty or the wilful misconduct of the Bank); and the Grantor shall not bring in any country, any claim which is inconsistent with this paragraph.

The Power of Attorney hereby granted is, as regards the Bank and its delegates (and as the Grantor hereby acknowledges), granted irrevocably and for value provided by the Bank (the receipt of which the Grantor hereby acknowledges).

In this POWER OF ATTORNEY:

(i) “Ship” means the m.v. “CARIBE MAIDEN” registered under the laws of the Republic of Panama in the ownership of [·] [the Grantor], and registered under the laws and flag of the Philippines with the [name of Filipino ship registry] in the name of [·] [the Grantor], together with the engines, machinery, boats, tackle, outfit, spare gear, materials, parts, boilers and equipment, bunkers, fuels, consumable and other stores, belongings, fittings and appurtenances to the said ship or hereafter acquired and whether on board or ashore and all additions, improvements and replacements howsoever or whatsoever hereafter made in or to the Ship;

(ii) “Charter” means the bareboat charter dated [·] and made between [·] [the Grantor] and [·] [the Grantor] in respect of the Ship.

IN WITNESS whereof the Grantor has caused this Power of Attorney to be duly executed this [·] day of [·] in accordance with its constitutional documents and the laws of [jurisdiction of incorporation of Grantor].

EXECUTED on this [·] day of [·].

6.12 Effect of consents and approvals of Senior Mortgagee. Where any act requires the consent or approval of the Senior Mortgagee under the Senior Finance Documents and the same act requires the consent or approval of the Junior Mortgagee under the Guarantee and Junior Mortgage Documents, then the consent or approval of the Senior Mortgagee given under the Senior Mortgagee Documents shall be deemed also to constitute the consent or approval of the Junior Mortgagee under the Guarantee and Junior Mortgage Documents; and, for this purpose, “act” includes transaction.

7.2 Junior Mortgagee’s option. Upon the Senior Mortgagee’s serving a notice under Clause 7.1, the Junior Mortgagee shall have the option, exercisable by serving a written notice to the Senior Mortgagee within 10 business days after the date of the service of the Senior Mortgagee’s notice, to purchase the Senior Mortgagee’s rights under the Senior Mortgage Documents; and any such exercise notice served by the Junior Mortgagee shall be irrevocable and place the Junior Mortgagee under an absolute obligation (regardless of any later event or change in circumstances) to make the payment referred to in Clause 7.3.

(b) the amount of all legal and other expenses incurred by the Senior Mortgagee in connection with the exercise of the Junior Mortgagee’s option under this Clause 7;

in each case, as certified by the Senior Mortgagee, against delivery to the Junior Mortgagee of an assignment by the Senior Mortgagee, on an entirely non-recourse basis and without any express or implied covenant, warranty or representation, of such rights as the Senior Mortgagee then has under the Senior Mortgage Documents.

7.4 Terms of Senior Mortgagee’s assignment. The assignment shall be in terms which the Senior Mortgagee reasonably considers appropriate; and the Junior Mortgagee’s payment shall be made in immediately available funds and without any deduction, withholding or condition of any kind.

7.5 Non-exercise of Junior Mortgagee’s option.

This Clause 7.5 applies irrespective of whether the proceeds of the sale will be sufficient to discharge the Subordinated Liabilities after discharging the Senior Liabilities and any other claims ranking prior to the Subordinated Liabilities and/or the Junior Mortgage Documents.
