Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan for the period commencing on the date the Loan is made until the Loan is repaid in full, at the rate set forth in the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any payment is not received by the Lender when due (whether at maturity, by acceleration, on demand or otherwise), the Borrower shall pay to the Lender interest on demand on such late payment from the date such payment was due until such payment is actually received, at a rate per annum equal to 5% over the otherwise applicable rate (the “Default Rate”).

SECTION 3.02. Payments and Computations

(a) Making of Payments. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal, Prepayment Fees (if any) and interest due under the Note in Dollars, in immediately available funds, not later than 11:00 a.m. New York time on the day when due.

(b) Application of Payments. Each payment received by the Lender shall be applied in the manner provided for in the Note or, in the absence of such direction, as the Lender, in its sole discretion, shall determine.

(c) Computations. All computations of interest shall be made by the Lender on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Each determination by the Lender of the interest due hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

If any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) are directly assessed against the Lender, the Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of such assessment.

Thereafter, the Borrower shall pay such additional amount (including, without limitation, any penalties, interest or expenses, but excluding any such items resulting from (A) the failure of the Lender promptly to notify the Borrower of the assessment of such Taxes against the Lender, or (B) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender) as may be necessary for the Lender to receive, after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount), the amount the Lender would have received had no such Taxes been assessed. The Borrower’s obligations arising from this Section 3.02 shall survive repayment of the Loan, cancellation of the Note and the termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Lender should assign all or any portion of the Loan or all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to another Person, the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3.02 shall not be greater than what its obligations would have been if the Lender had retained a 100% interest in the Loan and in this Agreement.

(xx) except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 7.0l{v) hereof, not to transfer or change, or permit to be transferred or changed, the flag of the Vessel without the prior written consent of the Lender, and any such written consent to any one transfer or change of flag shall not be construed to be a waiver of this provision with respect to any subsequent proposed transfer or change of flag.

(p) Inspections; Logs and Records. At all times, upon not less than forty-eight (48) hours prior notice but not more than once during any fiscal year of the Borrower (unless an Event of Default exists), the Borrower shall afford the Lender and its authorized representatives full and complete access to the Vessel for the purpose of appraising and inspecting the same and inspecting her papers and, at the request of the Lender, the Borrower shall deliver for inspection copies of any and all contracts and documents relating to the operation and employment of the Vessel, whether on board or not. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that the operation of the Vessel is not adversely affected and that the Vessel’s schedule is not disrupted, as a result of such inspections. However, if, upon such inspection, the Lender discovers that the Vessel is in a condition of disrepair, and such condition is confirmed by an independent, certified marine surveyor selected and agreed upon by the Lender and the Borrower, Lender shall have the right to call for the repair and, if necessary, drydocking of the Vessel within a commercially reasonable period not to exceed ninety (90) days thereafter at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and to the satisfaction of the Lender.

(p) should there occur a Change in Control;

then, and in each such event, the Lender may (A) by notice to the Borrower, declare the Note, all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts (including, but not limited to, any Prepayment Fee) payable thereunder and hereunder to be forthwith due and payable in full, whereupon the Note, all such interest and all such other amounts shall become immediately due and payable in full, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided, however, that in the event of the entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or under any similar Federal or state statute or regulation, the Note, all accrued interest thereon and all other amounts due thereunder and hereunder shall automatically become due and payable in full, without in each instance having given the Borrower any notice whatsoever; (B) setoff against and debit any account maintained by the Borrower with the Lender for any sums due the Lender hereunder or under the Note; (C) immediately proceed against the Vessel under the First Preferred Mortgage; or (D) exercise all other rights and remedies available under any of the Loan Documents or any Applicable Law.

The rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder and under any documents or instruments executed pursuant hereto are cumulative, and recourse to one or more rights or remedies shall not constitute a waiver of the others or an election of remedies. It is mutually agreed that commercial reasonableness and good faith require the giving of no more than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of any Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made, and at any such public or private sale, subject to limitations of law, the Lender, its agents and/or nominees, may purchase the Collateral. If the net proceeds of any disposition of Collateral exceed the amount then due and owing, whether by acceleration, at maturity or otherwise, or on demand, such excess will be remitted to the Borrower or whomsoever shall be legally entitled thereto. The Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency remaining after disposition of all Collateral.

If the Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its obligations contained herein, the Lender shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to effect such performance or compliance and the Borrower hereby promises to reimburse the Lender upon demand for such sums so expended, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate for the actual number of days elapsed from date of payment by the Lender to the date on which the Lender receives payment thereof from the Borrower. Failure of the Borrower to pay and promptly discharge the aforesaid debts and obligations shall constitute a separate Event of Default under this Agreement, but the payment of the same by the Lender shall not cure or constitute a waiver of such Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all payments received by the Lender from or on behalf of the Borrower shall be applied by the Lender to any installment(s) due and payable under the Note as the Lender, in its sole discretion, may determine, without notice to or consent of Borrower, the Borrower hereby expressly waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights to make or manifest any binding instruction upon the Lender as to application of such payments other than as herein provided. Acceptance by the Lender of partial payment(s) or partial performance by the Borrower or by any other third party shall not be construed as a waiver of any Event of Default, nor shall the same affect or in any way impair the rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder.

SECTION 8.02. Additional Rights. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender as its attorney-in-fact (which power shall be deemed irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, execute, endorse and deliver any deed, conveyance, assignment or other instrument in writing as may be required to vest in the Lender any right, title or power which, by the terms hereof, are expressed to be conveyed to or conferred upon the Lender, including any documents and checks or drafts relating to or received in payment for any loss or damage under the policies of insurance required by the provisions of Section 7.0l(n) hereof, but only to the extent that the same relates to the Collateral.

The Borrower, at its own cost and expense, may participate in the defense (if applicable) of any Liability.

SECTION 9.16. Confidentiality. The Lender agrees to keep confidential all financial statements, reports and other non-public provided to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Lender from disclosing any such information (i) to any Affiliates or Subsidiaries of the Lender with a need to know in connection with the Loan Documents (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (ii) to any actual or prospective assignee or participant which has been informed of the confidential nature of such information and has signed and delivered to the Borrower a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower agreeing in writing to treat such information as confidential in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents; provided that no such information shall knowingly be provided by the Lender to any Competitor of the Borrower or any Affiliate of any such Competitor, (iii) to the Lender’s employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants, auditors and other professional advisors or those of any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries with a need to know in connection with the Loan Documents (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (iv) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority after providing notice to the Borrower of any such request provided that the giving of such notice is not prohibited by such Governmental Authority or Applicable Law, (v) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any requirement of law, in each case after providing notice to the Borrower of such request, provided that the giving of such notice is not prohibited by such court or other Governmental Authority or Applicable Law, (vi) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding after providing notice to the Borrower of any such request provided that the giving of such notice is not prohibited by order of court or Applicable Law, (vii) that has been publicly disclosed by the Borrower or the Guarantor, (viii) in connection with the exercise of any remedy under this Agreement or the Loan Documents, (ix) upon request, to bank examiners (or any other regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Lender), or (x) if the disclosure of such information has been authorized by the Borrower in a separate writing.

SECTION 9.17. Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported OFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any swap contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “OFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported OFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered £fil!y”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Financing Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Financing Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 9.17, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“OFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).”

5. Requisition. Assignor shall promptly notify Assignee in writing of the commencement and termination of any period during which the Vessel may be requisitioned.

6. Employment of Vessel. Assignor hereby further covenants and agrees to promptly furnish Assignee upon Assignee’s reasonable request such information regarding the employment, position and engagements of the Vessel.

Assignor does hereby warrant and represent that it has not assigned or pledged, and hereby covenants that it will not assign or pledge so long as this Assignment shall remain in effect, any of its right, title or interest in the whole or any part of the Earnings hereby assigned to anyone other than Assignee, and it will not take or omit to take any action, the taking or omission of which might result in an alteration or impairment of the rights hereby assigned or any of the rights created in this Assignment; and Assignor does hereby irrevocably appoint and constitute Assignee as Assignor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power (in the name of Assignor or otherwise) should an Event of Default have occurred and be continuing to ask, require, demand, receive, compound and give acquittance for any and all Earnings assigned hereby, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Assignee may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises and to file any and all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or renewals thereof in connection with this Assignment without the signature of Assignor which Assignee may deem to be necessary or advisable in order to perfect or maintain the security interest granted hereby.

No delay or omission by Assignee in the exercise of any right or power or in the pursuance of any remedy accruing upon any breach or default by Assignor or any guarantor shall impair any such right, power or remedy or to be construed to be a waiver of any such right, power or remedy or to be an acquiescence therein; nor shall the acceptance by Assignee of any security or of any payment of or on account of any of the amounts due from Assignor or any other Obligor to Assignee and maturing after any breach or default or of any payment on account of any past breach or default be construed to be a waiver of any right to take advantage of any future breach or default or of any past breach or default not completely cured thereby.

Assignor’s obligation to repay the Loan, with interest, is evidenced by Assignor’s promissory note dated _____, 2019 in the original principal amount of $25,000,000 and made payable to the order of Assignee (as the same may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note”).

As security for Assignor’s obligations to Assignee, Assignor has agreed to collaterally assign to Assignee, and grant Assignee a continuing, first priority security interest in and to, all of its rights, title and interests in and to (but none of its obligations under), among other things, that certain [Charter] [Contract of Affreightment] dated ____, 201_ (the “Charter”) between it and_____________________, a ____________________ (the “Charterer”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce Assignee to enter into the Loan Agreement and to make the Loan to it, Assignor hereby agrees with Assignee as follows:

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

2. Assignment. Assignor hereby grants, conveys, assigns, transfers, mortgages and pledges to Assignee, as security for its obligations under the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents, all its rights, title, interests, claims and demands in and to:

(a) the Charter, including, without limitation, (i) the right to receive and compel performance by the Charterer of its obligations thereunder, (ii) the exclusive right to cancel or terminate the Charter, (iii) the right to grant all waivers and consents and to enter into all amendments and agreements with respect thereto; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan Agreement, Assignee shall not agree to any such waivers or grant any such consents or to enter into any such amendments or to make any such agreements with the Charterer without the prior consent of Assignor, and (iv) the right to exercise (to the exclusion of Assignor) all rights and remedies and to take all other actions upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, including the right to commence and conduct legal, administrative or other proceedings, as shall be permitted by the Charter, at law, in equity or in admiralty, and the right to do any and all other things whatsoever which Assignor is or may lawfully be entitled to do under the Charter;

(b) all claims for damages arising out of the Charterer’s breach thereof;

(c) the right of Assignor to take possession of the Vessel (to the exclusion of the Charterer) following termination of the Charter, including, without limitation, the right to exercise all rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Assignor, whether arising under the Charter or by statute or at law or in equity or in admiralty or otherwise, upon the failure of the Charterer to pay any monies or to satisfy any claims as required by the Charter; and

(d) all proceeds of the foregoing.

Nothing in this Assignment shall be construed to constitute a waiver of any other rights that Assignor may have against the Charterer under the Charter.

3. Rights Assigned. The rights hereby assigned to Assignee include, without limitation, the right, in the case of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, to receive and compel performance of the Charterer under the Charter. The obligations of the Charterer under the Charter may, in the case of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, be received or compelled by Assignee or its nominee or any other assignee. Any and all property described or referred to in Section 2 above which is hereafter acquired by Assignor shall ipso facto, and without any further conveyance, assignment or act on the part of Assignor or Assignee, become and be subject to the liens and security interests herein granted as fully and completely as those specifically described herein.

4. Cumulative Remedies and Waiver. Each and every right, power and remedy given to Assignee hereunder shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy of Assignee as assignee of Assignor, both now existing or hereafter arising, under the Charter or at law, in admiralty, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy, whether herein given or otherwise existing, may be exercised from time to time, in whole or in part, and as often and in such order as Assignee may be deemed expedient, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by Assignee in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing upon any breach or default by Assignor shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any such right, power or remedy or to be an acquiescence therein; nor shall the acceptance by Assignee of any security or of any payment of or on account of any of the amounts due to Assignee and maturing after any breach or default or of any payment on account of any past breach or default be construed to be a waiver of any right to take advantage of any future breach or default or of any past breach or default not completely cured thereby.

5. Retention of Obligations. Notwithstanding, anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall release Assignor from any of its obligations to the Charterer, and Assignor shall continue to remain liable for performance of its obligations under the Charter, and neither Assignee nor any of its successors and assigns shall have any obligation or liability under the Charter by reason of or arising out of this Assignment, nor shall Assignee or its successors and assigns be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any obligations of Assignor under or pursuant to the Charter, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it or to present or file any claim, or to take any other action to collect or enforce the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled hereunder at any time or times.

6. Attorney-in-Fact. Assignor hereby constitutes Assignee as its true and lawful attorney, irrevocably, with full power of substitution, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, in the name of Assignor, Assignee or otherwise, to receive or compel performance by the Charterer of its obligations under the Charter, to ask, require, demand, receive, compound and give acquittance for any and all monies and claims for monies due and to become due under or arising out of a breach by the Charterer of its obligations under the Charter, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any document or to take any action or institute any proceedings which Assignor, its successors and assigns, may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premise.

7. Effective Date. The assignment of the Charter to Assignee as provided herein shall take effect immediately upon the execution hereof and the powers and authorities granted to Assignee herein, having been given for valuable consideration, are hereby declared to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

8. Further Assurances. Assignor hereby agrees that, at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Assignee, it will promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments and documents as Assignee may reasonably require in order to obtain the full benefits of this Assignment and of the rights and powers herein granted.

9. Representations and Warranties. Assignor hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof that the Charter is in full force and effect and that neither Assignor nor, to its knowledge, the Charterer is in default under any of the terms thereof. Assignor hereby further represents and warrants that it has not assigned, pledged or in any way created any security interest in, the Charter, except for the assignment to Assignee made pursuant to this Assignment.

PROVIDED, ALWAYS, that any sale by the Mortgagee of the Vessel pursuant to this Section 5 shall operate to divest all rights, title and interests of any nature whatsoever of the Owner, its successors and assigns, and all Persons claiming by, through or under the Owner in or to the Vessel or such shares so sold and upon such sale the purchaser shall not be bound to see or inquire whether the power of sale of the Mortgagee has arisen in the manner herein provided and the sale shall be deemed to be within the power of the Mortgagee and the receipt by the Mortgagee of the purchase money shall effectively discharge the purchaser, who shall not be concerned with the manner of application of the proceeds of the sale or be in any way answerable therefor. The Owner hereby irrevocably appoints the Mortgagee the true and lawful attorney of the Owner, in its name and stead, to make all necessary transfers of the whole or any part of the Vessel in connection with a sale, use or other disposition pursuant to this Section 5, and for that purpose to execute all necessary instruments of assignment and transfer. Nevertheless, the Owner shall, if so requested by the Mortgagee, ratify and confirm any sale, assignment, transfer or delivery by executing and delivering such proper xxxx of sale, assignment, conveyance, instrument of transfer or other instrument as may be designated in such request.

6. Application of Moneys. The proceeds of any sale made either under the power of sale hereby granted to the Mortgagee or under a judgment or decree in any judicial proceeding for the foreclosure of this Mortgage, or proceeds arising from the enforcement of any remedy granted to the Mortgagee hereunder, or any net earnings arising from the management, charter or other use of the Vessel by the Mortgagee under any of the powers herein granted or the proceeds of any and all Insurances and any claims for damages on account of the Vessel or the Owner of any nature whatsoever and any net earnings of the Vessel from the operation of the Vessel by the Mortgagee under any of the powers herein granted or by law provided or any Requisition Compensation shall be applied as follows:

First: to the payment or reimbursement of all the costs of the Mortgagee incurred or made in the exercise, protection or pursuance of its rights or remedies under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents including, but not limited to, the expenses of any sale or of any taking, attorneys’ fees and court costs together with interest thereon at the Default Rate and to provide adequate indemnity to the Mortgagee against Liens or rights claiming priority over or equal to the lien created under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents;

Second: to the payment of any amounts due to the Mortgagee under any Loan Documents other than amounts set forth in clauses “First”, “Third”, and “Fourth” together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of incurrence to the date of payment in full;

Third: to the payment of accrued interest on the Loan and all other sums payable by the Owner to the Mortgagee, whether under this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents;

Fourth: to the payment of principal of the Loan whether due or not; and

Fifth: to the Owner or to whomsoever else may be lawfully entitled thereto.

If the proceeds are insufficient to pay the amounts specified in paragraphs “First”, “Second”, “Third” and “Fourth” above, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect the balance from the Owner or any other Person liable therefor.

7. Delay and Cure. No delay or omission of the Mortgagee to exercise any right or power vested in it under this Mortgage shall impair such right or power or be construed as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default by the Owner hereunder or under the Loan Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, nor shall the acceptance by the Mortgagee of any payments concerning this Mortgage from any source be deemed a waiver hereunder. However, if at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default and before the actual sale of the Vessel by the Mortgagee or before any foreclosure proceedings, the Owner cures completely and promptly all Events of Default and pays promptly all expenses, advances and damages to the Mortgagee arising from such Events of Default, with interest at the Default Rate from the date when such expenses, advances and damages were incurred until full payment is received, then the Mortgagee may, in its sole discretion, accept such cure and payment and restore the Owner to its former position, but such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any rights consequent thereon.

8. Delegation of Mortgagee’s Powers. The Mortgagee shall be entitled at any time and as often as may be expedient to delegate all or any of the powers and discretions vested in it by this Mortgage (including the power vested in it by virtue of Section 10 hereof) in such manner and upon such terms and to such Persons as the Mortgagee in its absolute discretion may think fit.

9. [Intentionally Omitted].

10. Power of Attorney.

(a) Owner hereby irrevocably appoints the Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest) for the duration of the term hereof to do in the name of the Owner or in the Mortgagee’s own name following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all acts that the Owner, or its successors or assigns, could do in relation to the Vessel, including, without limitation, to demand, collect, receive, compromise, settle and xxx for (insofar as the Mortgagee lawfully may), all amounts due from underwriters under the Insurances of the Vessel as payment for losses or as return of premiums or otherwise, salvage awards and recoveries, in general average or otherwise, and all other sums due or to become due to Owner relative to the Vessel or arising from the Vessel, and to make, give and execute in the name of Owner acquittance, receipts, releases, or other discharges for the same, whether under seal or otherwise, to take possession of, sell or otherwise dispose of or manage or employ the Vessel, to execute and deliver charters and a xxxx of sale for the Vessel, and to endorse and accept in the name of the Owner all checks, notes, drafts, warrants, agreements and all other instruments in writing with respect to the foregoing.

(b) The exercise by or on behalf of the Mortgagee of the power granted in this Section 10 shall not require any Person dealing with the Mortgagee to conduct any inquiry as to whether any Event of Default has occurred, nor shall such Person be in any way affected by notice that any Event of Default does not exist, and the exercise by the Mortgagee of such power shall, with regard to such Person, be conclusive evidence of the Mortgagee’s right to exercise the same.

11. Arrest by a Third Party. If the Vessel shall be arrested or detained by a marshal or other officer of any court of law, equity or admiralty jurisdiction in any country of the world or by any government or other authority and shall not be released from arrest or detention within thirty (30) days from the date of arrest or detention, the Owner hereby authorizes the Mortgagee, in the name of the Owner, to apply for and receive possession of and to take possession of the Vessel with all of the rights and powers that the Owner might have, possess and exercise in any such event. This authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

The Owner agrees that for the purpose of proceedings against the Vessel, any writ, notice, judgment or other legal process or documents may be served upon the Owner by mail at its address set forth in Section 18 hereof, and that such service shall be deemed good service on the Owner for all purposes.

13. Invalid Provisions. If any provision or provisions of this Mortgage shall be declared invalid, void or otherwise inoperative by any present or future court of competent jurisdiction in any country, the Owner will, without prejudice to any other right and remedy of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage, execute and deliver such other and further instruments and do such things as in the opinion of the Mortgagee or its counsel will be necessary or advisable to carry out the intent and spirit of this Mortgage. In any event, any such declaration of partial invalidity shall not affect the validity of any other provision or provisions of this Mortgage, which shall remain in full force and effect, or the validity of this Mortgage as a whole.

14. Further Assurance. The Owner hereby further undertakes, at its own cost and expense, to execute, sign, perfect, do and (if required), register every such further assurance, document, act or thing reasonably necessary or advisable for the purpose of maintaining or perfecting or exercising the security constituted by this Mortgage.

15. Cumulative Remedies. Each and every power and remedy in this Mortgage specifically given to the Mortgagee shall be in addition to every other power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, in admiralty, or by statute, and each and every power and remedy, whether specifically in this Mortgage given or otherwise existing, may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, and the exercise or the commencement of the exercise of any such power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other power or remedy under this Mortgage.

16. Amount of Mortgage. For purposes of recording this Mortgage as required by Section 302 of the Xxxxxxxx Islands Maritime Act, the total amount of obligations secured by this Mortgage is Twenty-Five Million United States Dollars ($25,000,000) plus interest, fees, costs, expenses and performance of mortgage covenants.

The execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty are within its corporate powers and the Guarantor has taken all corporate and other actions necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of, and its entry into, this Guaranty. Once executed, this Guaranty shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws and equitable principles affecting the rights of creditors generally. The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty do not and will not conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default under, any provision of the Certificate oflncorporation or Bylaws of the Guarantor or any judgment or order applicable to the Guarantor or, after due investigation and to the Guarantor’s best knowledge, any statute, law, rule or regulation applicable to the Guarantor, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, encumbrance or security interest on any of its properties or assets.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all obligations and payments which constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed by the Borrower to the Lender under the Loan Agreement or other Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Borrower.

SECTION 3.02. Guaranty Absolute. The Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations will be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents, regardless of any law, rule, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Lender, the Guarantor or the Borrower with respect thereto. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the Obligations of the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrower or whether the Borrower is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

i. any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement or any term thereof or of any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

ii. any change in the time, manner or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Loan Agreement or other Loan Documents;

iii. any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations;

iv. any manner of application of collateral (if any), or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Obligations or any other assets of the Borrower;

v. any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Borrower or the Guarantor or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceedings affecting the Borrower or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any of the Obligations;

vi. any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or a guarantor thereof (other than the defense of payment);

vii. any extension, indulgence or renewal with respect to the Obligations or any other obligation of the Borrower to the Lender under the Loan Agreement or other Loan Documents;

viii. any modification of, or amendment or supplement to, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document;

ix. any furnishing or acceptance of any security or any release of any security; or

x. any waiver, compromise, consent or other action or inaction, or any exercise or non-exercise of any right, remedy or power with respect to the Borrower.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Lender for any reason, including upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all as though such payment had not been made at such time.

SECTION 3.03. Waiver: Reinstatement. The Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien (if any) or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrower or any other person or entity or any collateral. This is a guaranty of payment and performance, not merely of collection. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are absolute, present and continuing obligations which are not conditional upon the institution of suit against or the exercise of any remedies against the Borrower, or any attempt to foreclose or realize upon any security for obligations of the Borrower or the taking of any other action with respect to the Borrower.

This Guaranty and the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of any of the Obligations are rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lender, all as though such payment had not been made. The Lender’s good faith determination as to whether a payment must be restored or returned shall be binding on the Guarantor.

SECTION 3.04. No Waiver: Remedies. No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. Each remedy herein provided is cumulative and is not exclusive of any other remedy provided herein or by law.

ARTICLE IV.

SUBROGATION

SECTION 4.01. Subrogation. If (i) the Guarantor shall make payment to the Lender of all or any part of the Obligations and (ii) all the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall be satisfied or paid in full, the Lender will, at the Guarantor’s request and at the Guarantor’s sole cost and expense, execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty of any kind, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations resulting from such payment by the Guarantor. The Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Guaranty, by any performance or payment made hereunder or otherwise, until all the Obligations and all other amounts payable by the Guarantor to the Lender under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the payment in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender and shall forthwith be paid to the Lender to be credited and applied towards payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement or to be held by the Lender as collateral security for any Obligations thereafter existing.
