providing the Services, (i) during the first four (4) years of the initial term of this

4. Schedule “B” shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“FEES AND COSTS AND EXPENSES
In consideration for the provision of the Services listed in Schedule “A” by NSM to
NMLP, NMLP shall, during the first two (2) years of the initial term of this Agreement, pay NSM a
fixed daily fee of US$4,000 per owned Panamax Vessel and US$5,000 per owned Capesize
Vessel, payable on the last day of each month. For the second two (2) years of the initial
term of this Agreement, NMLP shall pay NSM a fixed daily fee of US$4,400 per owned Panamax Vessel,

of the Costs and Expenses in connection with the provision of the Services listed in Schedule
“A” by NSM to NMLP for such month. Costs and Expenses shall be determined in a manner
consistent with how the fixed daily fee payable during the first four (4) years of the initial term

of the date of each invoice. All invoices for Services are payable in U.S. dollars.”

Amendment, all references in the Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereto,” “hereof,” “hereunder” or
words of like import referring to the Agreement shall mean the Agreement, as amended, as further
modified by this Amendment.
7. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in separate counterparts, all of
