continue to have a continuing security interest in, any and all right, title and
interest of such Borrower in and to the Collateral consisting of: (i) the Vessel

shall have with respect to the Collateral all rights and remedies available to a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, and the rights and remedies
under the Loan Documents and under the Preferred Marine Mortgages securing the
Note.
6. Lease and Assignment.
(a) WITHOUT LENDER'S PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT, NO BORROWER SHALL
(EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PERMITTED UNDER THE PREFERRED MARINE MORTGAGE) (i) ASSIGN,
TRANSFER, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATE OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF, THE EQUIPMENT OR ANY
INTEREST THEREIN, OR ASSIGN OR DELEGATE ITS RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS, OR (ii) LEASE OR LEND THE EQUIPMENT TO, OR PERMIT THE EQUIPMENT TO BE
USED BY, ANYONE OTHER THAN A BORROWER OR A BORROWER'S QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES,
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT LENDER CONSENTS TO USE OF THE VESSEL BY CHARTERER
SUBJECT IN EACH CASE TO LENDER'S SECURITY INTEREST UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.
(b) Lender may sell, transfer, grant participations in, assign
and/or grant a security interest (any such transaction, a "Transfer"), in all or
part of Lender's right, title and interest in the Note, and in the other Loan
Documents as they relate to the Loan evidenced by the Note (including the
security interests in favor of Lender securing such Loan). In the event of any
Transfer, the relevant transferee shall have and may exercise, with respect to
the Loan subject to such Transfer, all of Lender's rights hereunder, and NO
BORROWER SHALL ASSERT AGAINST ANY SUCH PURCHASER, TRANSFEREE, ASSIGNEE OR
5
SECURED PARTY ANY DEFENSE, COUNTERCLAIM OR OFFSET THAT ANY BORROWER MAY HAVE
AGAINST LENDER. Each Borrower agrees that upon written notice to such Borrower
of any Transfer, such Borrower shall acknowledge receipt thereof in writing and
provide confirmation to the transferee that the Loan Documents remain in full
force and effect and the absence of any Default thereunder, and such other
information as Lender or such transferee may reasonably require.
(c) Subject to the foregoing, all covenants and agreements
contained herein shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, Lender and
its successors and assigns and Borrowers and their successors and permitted
assigns.
7. Taxes. Borrowers shall pay when due any and all taxes, fees, levies,
imposts, duties, assessments and public and private charges levied or assessed
on or with respect to the Collateral, on the use thereof, or on this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents (but excluding any (i) franchise taxes
imposed on Lender generally, (ii) taxes imposed on Lender's net or gross income,
and any taxes which are being contested in good faith (and for the payment of
which adequate assurances in Lender's judgment have been provided to Lender) by
appropriate proceedings so long as such proceedings do not involve any material
risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of any Collateral and do not and will not
adversely affect Lender's right, title and interest in the Collateral.
8. Lender's Right to Perform for Borrower. If any Borrower fails to
perform or comply with any Obligations contained in the Loan Documents, Lender
may (but shall not be obligated to do so), on ten (10) days' notice (or such
shorter, or no, notice, as may be reasonable under the circumstances) to
Borrowers, if such failure is not cured by the last day of such period, itself
perform or comply with such Obligations, and the amount of the reasonable costs
and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with such performance or
compliance, together with interest on such amount from the date paid by Lender
until the date repaid by Borrowers to Lender, at the Default Rate, shall be
payable by Borrowers to Lender upon demand. No such performance or compliance by
Lender shall be deemed a waiver of the rights and remedies of Lender or any
successor or assignee of Lender against Borrowers hereunder or be deemed to cure
any Default of Borrowers hereunder. All such sums and amounts so expended by
Lender shall be repayable by Borrowers immediately without notice or demand,
shall be secured by the Vessels and related Collateral, and shall bear interest
from the date said amounts are expended at the Default Rate.
9. Delinquent Payments; Interest; Late Charges. If Borrowers fail to
pay any of the Installments within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from
Lender that the same were not paid when due, Borrowers shall pay to Lender
interest on such overdue Installment, from the date it became due until paid, at
the Default Rate. Such interest shall be payable by Borrowers upon demand by
Lender and shall be deemed part of the Obligations secured by the Vessels and
related Collateral securing the Note. Borrowers shall also pay Lender any late
charges pursuant to the terms of the Note. In no event shall such late charge
exceed the maximum amounts permitted under Applicable Law.
10. Personal Property; Liens; Warranty of Title. Except for Permitted
Maritime Liens, Borrowers shall (i) promptly after becoming aware of the
existence thereof, give Lender written notice of any Lien on the Collateral,
(ii) promptly, at Borrowers' sole cost and expense, take such action as may be
necessary to discharge any such Lien, and (iii) indemnify and hold Lender
harmless from and against any loss or damage caused by any such Lien. Maritrans
Navigator Co. warrants that it has good, valid and marketable title to the
Equipment, and that (i) the security interest in the Collateral granted to
Lender under the Loan Documents, when properly perfected by any required filing,
shall constitute a valid and perfected first priority Lien and security interest
in the Collateral and, (ii) the Collateral is not subject to, and Borrowers will
not grant or permit to exist, any Liens or claims on or against the Collateral,
whether senior, superior, junior, subordinate or equal to the security interest
granted to Lender under the Loan Documents, or otherwise.

apply); (3) any dissolution, termination of existence, merger (unless the

adverse effect on such Borrower); (4) a receiver, trustee, conservator or
liquidator is appointed of any Borrower or of all or a substantial part of any

dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter; (5) a petition is filed by or
against any Borrower under any Bankruptcy, insolvency or similar legislation

any representation or warranty made by any Borrower as applicable herein or in
any of the Loan Documents, certificates, financial statements or other
statements furnished to Lender in connection with the Loan shall prove to be
false or misleading in any material respect as of the date on which the same was
made; (7) any Borrower, as applicable, shall fail to satisfy within sixty (60)
days after the later of (i) entry thereof or (ii) the termination of the most
recent stay, any final judgment rendered against such Borrower as applicable, by
any court of competent jurisdiction where the judgment is in excess of $500,000;
(8) (i) any of the Liens created or granted under the Loan Documents, or
intended to be granted or created thereby, to Lender shall fail, with respect to

been paid in full within thirty (30) days after any Borrower becomes aware
thereof; or (ii) additional Lien or Liens, except Permitted Maritime Liens,
attach(es) to the Equipment unless the Note shall be paid in full, or the Vessel

at its option, may declare any or all of Borrowers' Obligations under the Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, the Note, to be immediately due and
payable, without demand or notice to Borrowers and Lender shall have the
immediate right to enforce its security interests in Collateral, and under the
Preferred Marine Mortgage; provided, however, that if the Event of Default
results from the arrest or attachment of the Vessel and Borrowers pay the Note
in full within ten (10) days of Lender's demand for payment, such Event of
Default shall be deemed cured. If Borrowers fail to make such a payment within
ten (10) days, the Obligations and liabilities accelerated thereby shall bear
interest, both before and after any judgment, until paid in full at the Default
Rate.
(ii) Furthermore, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Lender shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies provided
herein, in the other Loan Documents or by law, the rights and remedies of a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code under the laws of the State of
New York (the "UCC") (regardless of whether the UCC is the law of the
jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted and regardless of
whether the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and further Lender may do
any one or more of the following as Lender in its sole discretion may elect,
with or without judicial process or the aid and assistance of others: (A) enter
and remain on any premises on which any of the Equipment may be located and,

for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as Lender
deems advisable, in its reasonable discretion; (F) lease all or any portion of
the Equipment on such terms and conditions as Lender in its reasonable
discretion may determine; or (G) enforce all rights to payment with respect to
any and all Collateral. In addition to all other sums due Lender hereunder,

including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, in obtaining or
liquidating the Collateral, in enforcing payment of the Loan, or in the
prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding by or against Lender or
Borrowers concerning any matter arising out of or connected with the Loan
Documents, the Collateral or the Loan, including without limitation any of the
foregoing arising in, arising under or related to a case under the United States
Bankruptcy Code.

(iii) Borrowers' Waivers Regarding Disposition of the
Equipment. If an Event of Default occurs, Borrowers agree that any requirement
of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is personally served on or
mailed, postage prepaid, to Borrowers in accordance with the notice provisions
hereof at least ten (10) days before the time of sale or other event giving rise
to the requirement of such notice. Lender shall not be obligated to make any
sale or other disposition of the Equipment regardless of notice having been
given. Lender may be the purchaser at any such public sale. Lender may postpone
or cause the postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the Equipment by
announcement at the time and place of such sale, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which the sale was rescheduled.
None of Lender's rights or remedies hereunder are intended to be exclusive of,
but each shall be cumulative and in addition to, any other right or remedy
referred to hereunder or otherwise available to Lender or its assigns at law or
in equity, and may be pursued singly, successively or concurrently at the sole
discretion of Lender and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall
occur. The failure to exercise, or any delay in the exercise of, any right or
remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver, release or exhaustion of any
such remedies. No express or implied waiver by Lender of any Event of Default
shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default or a waiver of any of
Lender's rights upon the reoccurrence of any such Event of Default.
(c) Borrowers hereby authorize Lender, upon the occurrence and
during the continuation of any Event of Default hereunder, at Lender's option to
adjust, compromise and settle any losses under any insurance afforded under the
Loan Documents, and Borrowers do hereby irrevocably constitute Lender and each
of its designees, as its attorneys-in-fact, with full power and authority, upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default hereunder, to
effect such adjustment, compromise and/or settlement and to endorse any drafts
drawn by an insurer of the Equipment or any part thereof and to do everything
necessary to carry out such purposes and to receive and receipt for any unearned
premiums due under policies of such insurance; but unless Lender elects to
adjust, compromise or settle losses as aforesaid, such insurance proceeds shall
be subject to the Lien and security interest of Lender hereunder.
(d) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuation, of an
Event of Default hereunder, (i) any proceeds of any Collateral shall be applied
in accordance with the Note and/or Preferred Marine Mortgages, and (ii) any
other amounts received by Lender in respect of the Loan may be applied first to
costs of collection and thereafter, in reduction of Borrowers' Obligations in
respect of the Loan, in such order and manner as Lender may direct in its sole
discretion, and Borrowers irrevocably waive the right to direct the application
of such amounts and agrees that Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive
right to apply any and all such amounts in Lender's sole discretion,
notwithstanding any entry to the contrary upon any of its books and records.
Borrowers shall remain liable to Lender with respect to any deficiency remaining
with respect to the Loan after application of such proceeds and other amounts in
accordance with the Loan Documents, and any surplus remaining after such
application shall be paid over to Borrowers or to whomsoever may be entitled
thereto.
(e) To the extent that any of the Loan is now or hereafter
secured by property other than the Collateral, or by a guarantee, endorsement or
property of any other Person, then Lender also shall have the right to proceed
against such other property, guarantee or endorsement upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default hereunder, and Lender shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies
Lender shall at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate or modify, without in
any way affecting the Loan or any of Lender's rights under this Agreement.
12. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be transmitted by hand, facsimile or telex, overnight courier

other communications shall be addressed to the respective party at the address

time designate by notice duly given in accordance with this Section. Such

of Maritrans, and Navigator Co.; each representation and warranty made by
Borrower shall be deemed to have been made by each such party; each covenant and
undertaking on the part of Borrower shall be determined individually and applied
with respect to each such party; and each event constituting a Default under
this Agreement shall be determined with respect to each such party. A separate
action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any such party whether

of any such obligations or in the terms or conditions of any security held,
Lender is hereby expressly given the right, at its option, to proceed in the
enforcement of this Agreement independently of any other remedy or security it
may at any time hold in connection with such obligations secured and it shall
not be necessary for Lender to proceed upon or against and/or exhaust any other
security or remedy before proceeding to enforce its rights against any Borrower.
Each Borrower further waives any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution, indemnification, setoff or other recourse in respect
to sums paid to Lender by any Borrower.
20. Miscellaneous. Time is of the essence with respect to this
Agreement. Any failure of Lender to require strict performance by Borrower or
any waiver by Lender of any provision herein shall not be construed as a consent
or waiver of any provision of this Agreement. None of the Loan Documents may be
amended except by a writing signed by Lender and Borrowers. This Agreement will
be binding upon Lender only if executed by a duly authorized officer or
representative of Lender. This Agreement, and all other Loan Documents to which
Borrowers are or are to become a party, shall be executed on Borrowers' behalf
by Authorized Signers of Borrowers. Borrowers hereby waive presentment, notice
of dishonor and protest of all instruments included in or evidencing any of the
Loans, and all other notices and demands whatsoever (except as expressly
provided herein). The Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to
the conflict of laws principles of such state, including all matters of
construction, validity and performance.
21. Jury Trial Waiver. LENDER AND BORROWERS HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY
IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO WHICH LENDER OR BORROWERS MAY BE PARTIES ARISING
OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY PERTAINING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR SECURED OBLIGATIONS.
THIS WAIVER IS MADE KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY LENDER AND BORROWERS
WHO EACH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE BY ANY INDIVIDUAL TO
INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR IN ANY WAY TO MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS
EFFECT.

inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement, the terms and
conditions of the Preferred Marine Mortgages shall prevail.

collectively constitute the entire understanding or agreement between Lender and
Borrower with respect to the financing of the Equipment, and there is no
understanding or agreement, oral or written, which is not set forth herein or
therein.
