STATES OF AMERICA (the "United States"), represented by the Secretary of
Transportation, acting by and through the Maritime Administrator (the
"Secretary").
RECITALS:
Pursuant to the conditions and understandings set forth in the Recitals to
the Security Agreement executed on this date, the Company has authorized the
issuance of obligations designated "United States Government Guaranteed Export
Ship Financing Obligations, AMETHYST 4 Series" in an aggregate principal amount
not to exceed $149,625,000 to finance the cost of construction of the AMETHYST 4
the ("Vessel");
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
herein contained, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. (a) GRANTING CLAUSE. The Company hereby sells, grants, conveys,
mortgages, assigns, transfers, pledges, confirms and sets over to the Secretary
a continuing security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to
(1) the Title XI Reserve Fund, and (2) all sums, instruments, moneys, negotiable
documents, chattel paper and proceeds thereof currently on deposit, or hereafter
deposited in the Title XI Reserve Fund.
(b) DEFINITIONS. For all purposes of this Financial Agreement, unless
otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires, the
capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning specified in Schedule X to
the Security Agreement entered into on this date.
SECTION 2. TITLE XI RESERVE FUND DEPOSITS. (a) Pursuant to the Depository
Agreement, the Company shall establish with the Depository a depository account
(herein called the "Title XI Reserve Fund").
(b)(1) Within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company,
the Company shall compute its net income attributable to the operation of the
Vessel ("Title XI Reserve Fund Net Income"). This computation requires the
multiplication of the Company's total net income after taxes by a fraction with
a numerator composed of the total original capitalized cost of all Company
vessels (whether leased or owned) and a denominator composed of the total
original capitalized cost of all the Company's assets. The net income after
taxes, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
shall be adjusted as follows:
(A) The depreciation expense applicable to the accounting year shall
be added back.
(B) There shall be subtracted an amount equal to the principal
amount of debt required to be paid or redeemed, and actually paid or redeemed by
the Company during the year; and the principal amount of Obligations Retired or
Paid, prepaid or redeemed, in excess of the required Redemptions or payments
which may be used by the Company as a credit against future required Redemptions
or other required payments with respect to the Obligations, but excluding
payments from the Title XI Reserve Fund and the Title XI Escrow Fund.
(2) Promptly after the computation of the Title XI Reserve Fund Net
Income by the Company:
(A) If the Vessel is owned by the Company, then from the Title XI
Reserve Fund Net Income for the Vessel there shall be deducted, annually, an
amount (pro rated for a period of less than a full fiscal year) which is 10% of
the Company's aggregate original equity investment in said Vessel, as specified
in Attachment A.
(B) The Company shall, unless otherwise approved by the Secretary in
writing, deposit into the Title XI Reserve Fund an amount equal to sixty-five
percent (65%) of the balance of the Title XI Reserve Fund Net income remaining
after the above deductions.
(C) Irrespective of the Company's deposit requirements into the
Title
2
XI Reserve Fund, the Company shall not be required to make any deposits into the
Title XI Reserve Fund if (i) the Obligations and the related Secretary's Note
shall have been satisfied and discharged and if the Company shall have paid or
caused to be paid all other sums secured under the Security Agreement or the
Mortgage, (ii) all of the Guarantees on the Outstanding Obligations shall have
been terminated pursuant to the provisions of the Security Agreement, or (iii)
the amount (including any securities at current market value) in the Title XI
Reserve Fund is equal to, or in excess of 50% of the principal amount of the
Outstanding Obligations;
(D) The Company shall deliver to the Secretary (with a copy to the
Depository) at the time of each deposit into the Title XI Reserve Fund pursuant
to Section 2(b)(2)(B), and any deposits required under the Security Agreement, a
statement of an independent certified public accountant (who may be the regular
auditors for the Company) stating that such deposit has been computed in
accordance with Section 2(b)(2)(B) (and the Security Agreement, if applicable)
and showing the pertinent calculations.
(E) In addition, the Company shall deliver to the Secretary (with a
copy to the Depository), within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of
the Company, a statement by such certified public accountant stating (i) the
total amount of all deposits to be so deposited into the Title XI Reserve Fund
for such fiscal year (and showing the pertinent calculations), or (ii) that no
such deposit was required to be made for such fiscal year (and showing the
pertinent calculations) and that at the end of such fiscal year no adjustments
pursuant to Section 2(b)(2)(F) were required to be made (and, if such
adjustments were required to be made, stating the reasons therefor).
(F) The computation of all deposits required by this Section 2 shall
be made on the basis of information available to the Company at the time of each
such deposit. Each such deposit shall be subject to adjustments from time to
time in the event and to the extent that the same would be required or permitted
by mistakes or omissions, additional information becoming available to the
Company, or judicial or administrative determinations made subsequent to the
making of such deposits.
SECTION 3. WITHDRAWALS FROM THE TITLE XI RESERVE FUND. (a) From time to
time, moneys in the Title XI Reserve Fund shall be subject to withdrawal by
delivery by the Company to the Secretary of a Request for Payment (specifying
