The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non- performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder.

(b) On the Second Funding Date provided that a Prepayment Event has not occurred, each holder will surrender for cancellation all outstanding Series A Notes with the cancelled principal amount of such Series A Notes to be exchanged dollar-for-dollar for Series B Notes. In the event that any Series A Note is prepaid in whole or in part on or prior to the Second Funding Date, the principal of the corresponding Series B Note issued on the Second Funding Date to the applicable holder shall be reduced by the amount of such prepayment.

8. PAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES.

8.1. Required Prepayments; Final Maturity Date; Interest.

(a) The Notes will be subject to mandatory prepayment in an amount equal to the Applicable Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding at a prepayment price equal to (i) the principal amount of the Notes being prepaid plus (ii) accrued but unpaid interest on such Notes, if any, plus (iii) accrued Additional Payments, if any, thereon, up to but excluding the prepayment date but without payment of any Make-Whole Amount or any other premium, following (x) a Total Loss (other than a Compulsory Acquisition) in respect of either or both Vessels or (y) the expiration of the 90 day period immediately following a Compulsory Acquisition in respect of either or both Vessels (or such longer period not to exceed 180 days during which the Company is diligently pursuing release of such Vessels(s) and has notified the holders of the Notes of such efforts, provided that it is reasonable to expect that such Vessel(s) will be released during such period) in the event that such Vessel has not been released at such time.

(b) (i) The Company shall make an offer to prepay the Notes (x) in whole or in part, on a pro rata basis, in the case of Section 8.1(b)(i)(A) and (if the Applicable Percentage is less than 100%) Sections 8.1(b)(i)(B) and 8.1(b)(i)(C), and (y) in whole, in the case of Sections 8.1(b)(i)(B) and 8.1(b)(i)(C) (if the Applicable Percentage is equal to 100%), in each case, at a prepayment price equal to the principal amount of the Notes being prepaid plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, plus any accrued Additional Payments, if any, thereon, up to but excluding the prepayment date but without payment of any Make-Whole Amount or any other premium, as follows:

(A) with, and to the extent of, the Net Available Amount of any Loss Proceeds received by the Company or either ShipCo on behalf of the Company as a result of any individual Event of Loss solely to the extent that (x) the

Company (or the relevant ShipCo) does not commence to repair, restore, rebuild or replace the affected Property within 180 days after such Event of Loss and (y) such Loss Proceeds exceed $5,000,000 per Vessel. If the Company (or the relevant ShipCo) does not commence to repair, restore, rebuild or replace the affected Property within 180 days after the relevant Event of Loss as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, then the Company shall, within five Business Days after the end of such 180-day period, furnish to each holder of a Note written notice of its offer to prepay the relevant amount of the Notes, which notice shall specify a prepayment date which shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days from the date on which such notice is delivered;

(B) in the event that any Project Document (x) is terminated for any reason other than a breach by the Company or the relevant ShipCo or an expiration in accordance with its terms, (y) ceases to be valid and binding or (z) is declared to be null and void by a Governmental Authority, the Company shall, within 30

Business Days of such termination, furnish to each holder of a Note a written notice of its offer to prepay the Applicable Percentage of the Notes, which notice shall specify a prepayment date which shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days from the date on which such notice is delivered, provided that no such prepayment shall be required if (x) the Company replaces the relevant Project Document within 90 days after such termination (or such longer period not to exceed 180 days during which the Company is diligently pursuing replacement and has notified the holders of the Notes of such efforts) with a new agreement on terms not materially less favorable with or among the same parties or a Replacement Project Participant and (y) a Ratings Affirmation has been obtained; or

(C) in the event that a Vessel has not been delivered to and accepted by the Charterer by the date that is 90 days (or such longer period not to exceed 180 days during which the Company is diligently pursuing replacement of the relevant Charter Agreement or is in discussions with the Charterer to amend the relevant Charter Agreement and in each case has notified the holders of the Notes of such efforts) after the expiry of the Bossa Nova Delivery Window or the Sertanejo Delivery Window, as the case may be, the Company shall, within five Business Days after such date, furnish to each holder of a Note a written notice of its offer to prepay the Applicable Percentage of the Notes, which notice shall specify a prepayment date which shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days from the date on which such notice is delivered.

(ii) The Company shall make an offer to prepay the Notes in whole or in part (if the Applicable Percentage is less than 100%) at a prepayment price equal to the principal amount of the Notes being prepaid plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, plus any accrued Additional Payments, if any, thereon, up to but excluding the prepayment date, plus the Make-Whole Amount, as follows:

(A) no more than five Business Days following the occurrence of an Abandonment of either or both Vessels by the relevant ShipCo(s), the Company shall furnish to each holder of a Note a written notice of its offer to prepay the Applicable Percentage of the Notes, which notice shall specify a prepayment date that shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days from the date on which such notice is delivered and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer of the Company as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer of the Company specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date; or

(B) in the event that any Project Document is terminated due to a breach by the Company or by the ShipCo party thereto, the Company shall, within 30 Business Days of such termination, furnish to each holder of a Note a written notice of its offer to prepay the Applicable Percentage of the Notes, which notice shall specify a prepayment date which shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days from the date on which such notice is delivered and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer of the Company as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation, provided that no such prepayment shall be required if the Company replaces such Project Document within 90 days after such termination (or such longer period not to exceed 180 days during which the Company is diligently pursuing replacement and has notified the holders of the Notes of such efforts) with a new agreement on terms not materially less favorable with or among the same parties or a Replacement Project Participant, and a Ratings Affirmation has been obtained. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer of the Company specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.

Failure by any holder of Notes to notify the Company of its acceptance or rejection of any prepayment offer delivered pursuant to any clause of this paragraph (b) within 30 days of such offer shall be deemed to constitute rejection by such holder of such prepayment offer.

(c) As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of each Note shall be due and payable on the Final Maturity Date.

(d) Commencing on the Semi-annual Payment Date occurring on June 30, 2014, and on each Semi-annual Payment Date thereafter, the Company shall pay to each holder of Notes entitled thereto its respective portion of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes in accordance with the amortization schedule set forth on Schedule 8.1 hereto (or such lesser principal amount as shall then be outstanding) at par and without payment of any Make-Whole Amount or any other premium,

provided that upon any partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.1, 8.2 or 8.3, or in the case of a prepayment offer which is not accepted by all holders of the then outstanding Notes, the principal amount of each required prepayment of the Notes becoming due under this Section 8.1 on and after the date of such prepayment shall be reduced in the same proportion as the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes is reduced as a result of such prepayment.

(e) From and after the date on which (i) 50% of the Notes are prepaid as contemplated by Sections 8.1(a), 8.1(b)(i)(B), 8.1(b)(i)(C) and 8.1(b)(ii), (ii) the Purchasers have been relieved of their obligations in relation to the Second Funding, or (iii) a Permitted Transfer has occurred (A) the ShipCo and the Vessel that gave rise to the events or circumstances triggering such prepayment or transfer (the “Affected ShipCo” and the “Affected Vessel,” respectively) shall be deemed to no longer be a ShipCo or a Vessel under the Financing Documents, (B) the Affected ShipCo and the Affected Vessel shall be deemed to no longer be part of the Collateral, (C) the Project Documents of the Affected ShipCo shall be deemed to no longer be Project Documents under the Financing Documents, and (D) any covenants applicable to the Affected ShipCo and the Affected Vessel immediately prior to the events or circumstances triggering such prepayment shall be deemed to not apply thereafter. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any such prepayment, the Collateral Agent, at the expense of the Company, agrees to execute and deliver any lien releases, guarantee releases, pay-off letters, discharges, UCC termination statements or other similar instruments or documents to give effect to the foregoing.

(f) Interest will accrue and be payable on each Note in the amounts and at the times specified in the first paragraph thereof; provided that, (i) if a Delayed Second Funding Event shall have occurred, interest shall instead accrue and be payable on each Series B Note at a rate per annum that is equal to (A) 4.96% plus (B) the Delayed Second Funding Applicable Coupon Bump in effect for the relevant calendar month in which the Second Funding Date occurs, (ii) if the Company shall have prepaid the Series A Notes on or prior to the Second Funding Date interest shall accrue and be payable on each Series B Note at a rate per annum that is equal to 5.01%, and (iii) if the Company shall have prepaid the Series A Notes on or prior to the Second Funding Date and a Delayed Second Funding Event shall have occurred, interest shall accrue and be payable on each Series B Note at a rate per annum that is equal to 5.01% plus the Delayed Second Funding Series B Applicable Coupon Bump in effect for the relevant calendar month in which the Second Funding Date occurs.

8.2. Optional Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount.

The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part (in an amount not less than 5% of the Notes then outstanding) of, the Notes then outstanding, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, plus any accrued interest and Additional Payments (if any) thereon payable through the prepayment date and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Company will give each holder of Notes irrevocable written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.5), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer of the Company as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two

Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer of the Company specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.

8.3. Prepayment for Tax Reasons.

If at any time as a result of a Change in Tax Law (as defined below) the Company is or becomes obligated to make any Additional Payments (as defined below) in respect of any payment of interest on account of any of the Notes, the Company may give the holders of all affected Notes irrevocable written notice (each, a “Tax Prepayment Notice”) of the prepayment of such affected Notes on a specified prepayment date (which shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days nor more than 90 days after the date of such notice) and the circumstances giving rise to the obligation of the Company to make any Additional Payments and the amount thereof and stating that all of the affected Notes shall be prepaid on the date of such prepayment at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid together with interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment and without payment of any Make-Whole Amount or any other premium, except in the case of an affected Note if the holder of such Note shall, by written notice given to the Company no more than 20 days after receipt of the Tax Prepayment Notice, reject such prepayment of such Note (each, a “Rejection Notice”). The form of Rejection Notice shall also accompany the Tax Prepayment Notice and shall state with respect to each Note covered thereby that execution and delivery thereof by the holder of such Note shall operate as a permanent waiver of such holder’s right to receive the Additional Payments arising as a result of the circumstances described in the Tax Prepayment Notice in respect of all future payments of interest on such Note (but not of such holder’s right to receive any Additional Payments that arise out of circumstances not described in the Tax Prepayment Notice or which exceed the amount of the Additional Payment described in the Tax Prepayment Notice), which waiver shall be binding upon all subsequent transferees of such Note. The Tax Prepayment Notice having been given as aforesaid to each holder of the affected Notes, the principal amount of such Notes together with interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment shall become due and payable on such prepayment date, except in the case of Notes the holders of which shall timely give a Rejection Notice as aforesaid.

No prepayment of the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall affect the obligation of the Company to pay Additional Payments in respect of any payment made on or prior to the date of such prepayment. For purposes of this Section 8.3, any holder of more than one affected Note may act separately with respect to each affected Note so held (with the effect that a holder of more than one affected Note may accept such offer with respect to one or more affected Notes so held and reject such offer with respect to one or more other affected Notes so held).

The Company may not offer to pay or prepay Notes pursuant to this Section 8.3 (a) if a Default or Event of Default then exists, (b) until the Company shall have taken commercially reasonable steps to mitigate the requirement to make the related Additional Payments or (c) if the obligation to make such Additional Payments directly results or resulted from actions taken by the Company (other than actions required to be taken under applicable Law), and any Tax Prepayment Notice given pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall certify to the foregoing and describe such mitigation steps, if any.

For purposes of this Section 8: “Additional Payments” means additional amounts required to be paid to a holder of any Note pursuant to Section 13 by reason of a Change in Tax Law; and a “Change in Tax Law” means (individually or collectively with one or more prior changes) (i) an

amendment to, or change in, any Law of the Xxxxxxxx Islands after the First Funding Date, or an amendment to, or change in, an official interpretation or application of such Law after the First Funding Date, which amendment or change is in force and continuing and meets the opinion and certification requirements described below or (ii) in the case of any other jurisdiction that becomes a Taxing Jurisdiction after the First Funding Date, an amendment to, or change in, any Law of such jurisdiction, or an amendment to, or change in, an official interpretation or application of such Law, in any case after such jurisdiction shall have become a Taxing Jurisdiction, which amendment or change is in force and continuing and meets such opinion and certification requirements. No such amendment or change shall constitute a Change in Tax Law unless (A) the same would in the opinion of the Company (which shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Company and supported by a written opinion of counsel having recognized expertise in the field of taxation in the Taxing Jurisdiction, both of which shall be delivered to all holders of the Notes prior to or concurrently with the Tax Prepayment Notice in respect of such Change in Tax Law) affect the deduction or require the withholding of any Tax imposed by such Taxing Jurisdiction on any payment payable on the Notes and (B) the Company provides the relevant Tax Prepayment Notice within 180 days of the date that the Company first becomes aware of the event giving rise to such Change in Tax Law.

8.4. Prepayment Upon Change of Control.

Within five Business Days after a Responsible Officer becomes aware of the consummation of a Change of Control, the Company shall give written notice of such fact to each holder of Notes, which notice shall (i) describe the facts and circumstances of the Change of Control in reasonable detail, (ii) refer to this Section 8.4, (iii) contain an offer by the Company to prepay the Notes (in whole or in part) at 100% of the principal amount then outstanding together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, up to but excluding the prepayment date, plus any accrued Additional Payments, but without payment of any Make-Whole Amount or any other premium, (iv) specify a prepayment date which date shall be a Business Day not more than 90 days and not less than 45 days after such notice is given and (v) request such holder of Notes to notify the Company in writing by a stated date, which date shall not be less than 30 days after such holder’s receipt of the notice, of its acceptance or rejection of such prepayment offer. Failure by any holder of Notes to notify the Company of its acceptance or rejection of such prepayment offer shall be deemed to constitute rejection by such holder of such prepayment offer.

As used in this Section 8.4, “Change of Control” means, at any time, the Sponsor shall cease to own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting class of the share capital of the Company, provided that a Change of Control shall be deemed not to have occurred if a Ratings Affirmation has been obtained.

8.5. Allocation of Partial Prepayments.

In the case of any partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.

8.6. Maturity; Surrender, Etc.

In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date, plus any accrued Additional Payments (if any) thereon and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and any accrued Additional Payment (if any) thereon or Make-Whole Amount, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

8.7. Purchase of Notes.

The Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment or prepayment of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

8.8. Make-Whole Amount.

The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the yield(s) reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no U.S. Treasury securities Reported

having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury xxxx quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the yields report for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (i) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (ii) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields Reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so Reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (A) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so Reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (B) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so Reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (a) such Called Principal into (b) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (i) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (ii) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of 12 30-day months, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.1, 8.2 or 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

9. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

The Company covenants that, for so long as any of the Notes are outstanding:

9.1. Compliance with Laws.

Without limiting Section 10.3, the Company will, and will cause Bossa Nova Spirit (as of and following the First Funding Date) and Sertanejo Spirit (as of and following the Second Funding Date) and, to the extent that the Manager is an affiliate of the Company, the Manager to, conduct its business and cause the Vessels to be duly operated in compliance with all applicable requirements of Law, including, without limitation, all relevant Governmental Approvals, Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act, the International Safety Management Code and the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code, except where any failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and except that the Company may, at its expense, contest by appropriate proceedings conducted in good faith the validity or application of any such requirement of Law, so long as (a) none of the holders of the Notes could be subject to any civil or criminal liability for failure to comply therewith and (b) the result of such proceedings could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.2. Insurance.

(a) Insurance Requirements. The Company shall cause Bossa Nova Spirit (as of and following the Bossa Nova Delivery Date) and Sertanejo Spirit (as of and following the Sertanejo Delivery Date) to, maintain or cause to be maintained in full force and effect at all times (unless otherwise specified in Schedule 9.2) insurance coverages for the Vessels meeting the requirements set forth in Schedule 9.2, with reputable insurance companies with a rating by S&P of “A-” or higher, with limits, coverage, endorsements and other provisions sufficient to satisfy the requirements set forth in Schedule 9.2 naming (i) the Company and its officers and employees as named insureds, (ii) the relevant ShipCo and its officers and employees as named insureds, (iii) the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as additional named assured for its rights and interests, with no operational interest in the relevant Vessel required, and without the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party thereby being liable to pay (but having the right to pay) premiums, calls or other assessments in respect of such insurance and (iv) the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as assignee and loss payee (other than its liability insurance coverage) with such directions for payment as the Collateral Agent may specify acting in accordance with the Accounts Agreement.

(b) Waiver of Subrogation. Without prejudice to the Company’s rights under the Accounts Agreement and the other Financing Documents, the Company hereby waives (on its own behalf and on behalf of the ShipCos) any and every claim for recovery from any Secured Party for any and all loss or damage covered by any of the insurance policies to be maintained under this Agreement to the extent that such loss or damage is recovered under any such policy. Inasmuch as the foregoing waiver will preclude the assignment to, or the exercise of rights of subrogation by, an insurance company (or other Person) in respect of any such claim to the extent of such recovery, the Company shall, or shall cause the ShipCos to, give written notice of the terms of such waiver to each insurance company which has issued, or which may issue in the future, any such policy of insurance (if such notice is required by the insurance policy) and shall cause such insurance policy to be properly endorsed by the issuer thereof to, or to otherwise contain one or more provisions that, prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverage provided thereby by reason of such waiver.

(c) Amendment of Requirements. Neither the Company nor the ShipCos shall make, or agree to, any Material alteration to the terms of any insurance, nor waive any Material right relating to any insurance effected by it, as required by this Section 9.2 without prior written notice to the Secured Parties and the prior written consent of the Required Holders.

(d) Additional Provisions.

(i) Loss Notification: The Company shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent of any Event of Loss likely to give rise to a claim in excess of $5,000,000 for any one claim or for any claims in the aggregate in any calendar year in respect of any of the policies required by this Section 9.2.

12. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.

12.1. Acceleration.

(a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Company described in Section 11(e), (f) or (g) (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 11(e) or described in clause (vi) of Section 11(e) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (i) of Section 11(e)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

(b) If any other Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 11(a)) has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders may at any time at their option, by notice or notices to the Company, in addition to directing the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies available under the Security Documents, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

(c) If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, in addition to directing the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies available under the Security Documents, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.

Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, without limitation, interest accrued on such unpaid principal amount, on any overdue payment of interest or any overdue payment of any Make-Whole Amount at the Default Rate), plus (y) any accrued Additional Payments, plus (z) the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable Law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived, provided that with respect to an Event of Default described in Section 11(i), no Make-Whole Amount will be paid if such Event of Default is attributable to a breach by the Charterer or a Replacement Project Participant that is not an Affiliate of the Company. The Company acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Company (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

12.2. Other Remedies.

If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at Law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by Law or otherwise.

12.3. Rescission.

At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of, and Make-Whole Amount and accrued Additional Payments, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue

principal and Make-Whole Amount and accrued Additional Payments, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 18, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

12.4. No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc.

No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at Law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 16, the Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements and any registration duty.

13. TAX INDEMNIFICATION.

All payments whatsoever under this Agreement and the Notes will be made by the Company in lawful currency of the United States of America free and clear of, and without liability for withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future Taxes of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in such jurisdiction) (hereinafter a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the withholding or deduction of such Tax is compelled by Law.

If any deduction or withholding for any Tax of a Taxing Jurisdiction shall at any time be required in respect of any amounts to be paid by the Company under this Agreement or the Notes, the Company will pay to the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction the full amount required to be withheld, deducted or otherwise paid before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon and pay to each holder of a Note such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to such holder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Notes after such deduction, withholding or payment (including, without limitation, any required deduction or withholding of Tax on or with respect to such additional amount), shall be not less than the amounts then due and payable to such holder under the terms of this Agreement or the Notes before the assessment of such Tax, provided that no payment of any additional amounts shall be required to be made for or on account of:

(a) any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between such holder (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member of, shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such holder, if such holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation or any Person other than the holder to whom the Notes or any amount payable thereon is attributable for the purposes of such Tax) and the Taxing Jurisdiction, other than the mere holding of the relevant Note or the receipt of payments thereunder or in respect thereof, including, without limitation, such holder (or such

other Person described in the above parenthetical) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof, or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had an establishment, office, fixed base or branch therein, provided that this exclusion shall not apply with respect to a Tax that would not have been imposed but for the Company, after the First Funding Date, opening an office in, moving an office to, reincorporating in, or changing the Taxing Jurisdiction from or through which payments on account of this Agreement or the Notes are made to, the Taxing Jurisdiction imposing the relevant Tax;

(b) any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the delay or failure by such holder (following a written request by the Company) in the filing with the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction of Forms (as defined below) that are required to be filed by such holder to avoid or reduce such Taxes (including for such purpose any refilings or renewals of filings that may from time to time be required by the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction), provided that the filing of such Forms would not (in such holder’s reasonable judgment) impose any unreasonable burden (in time, resources or otherwise) on such holder or result in any confidential or proprietary income tax return information being revealed, either directly or indirectly, to any Person and such delay or failure could have been lawfully avoided by such holder, and provided further that such holder shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this clause (b) upon the good faith completion and submission of such Forms (including refilings or renewals of filings) as may be specified in a written request of the Company no later than 60 days after receipt by such holder of such written request (accompanied by copies of such Forms and related instructions, if any, all in the English language or with an English translation thereof);

(d) any combination of clauses (a) through (c) above;

provided further that in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay such additional amounts (i) to any holder of a Note not resident in the United States of America or any other jurisdiction in which an original Purchaser is resident for tax purposes on the First Funding Date in excess of the amounts that the Company would be obligated to pay if such holder had been a resident of the United States of America or such other jurisdiction, as applicable, for purposes of, and eligible for the benefits of, any double taxation treaty from time to time in effect between the United States of America or such other jurisdiction and the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or (ii) to any holder of a Note registered in the name of a nominee if under the Law of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (or the current regulatory interpretation of such Law) securities held in the name of a nominee do not qualify for an exemption from the relevant Tax and the Company shall have given timely notice of such Law or interpretation to such holder.

By acceptance of any Note, the holder of such Note agrees, subject to the limitations of clause (b) above, that it will from time to time with reasonable promptness (x) duly complete and deliver to or as reasonably directed by the Company all such forms, certificates, documents and returns provided to such holder by the Company (collectively, together with instructions for completing the same, “Forms”) required to be filed by or on behalf of such holder in order to avoid or reduce any such Tax pursuant to the provisions of an applicable statute, regulation or administrative practice of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or of a tax treaty between the United States and such Taxing Jurisdiction and (y) provide the Company with such information with respect to such holder as the Company may reasonably request in order to complete any such Forms, provided that nothing in this Section 13 shall require any holder to provide information with respect to any such Form or otherwise if in the opinion of such holder

such Form or disclosure of information would involve the disclosure of tax return or other information that is confidential or proprietary to such holder, provided further that each such holder shall be deemed to have complied with its obligation under this paragraph with respect to any Form if such Form shall have been duly completed and delivered by such holder to the Company or mailed to the appropriate taxing authority (which in the case of a United Kingdom Form US-Company 2002 or any similar Form shall be deemed to occur when such Form is submitted to the United States Internal Revenue Service in accordance with instructions contained in such Form), whichever is applicable, within 60 days following a written request of the Company (which request shall be accompanied by copies of such Form and English translations of any such Form not in the English language) and, in the case of a transfer of any Note, at least 90 days prior to the relevant Semi-annual Payment Date.

On or before the First Funding Date the Company will furnish each Purchaser with copies of the appropriate Form (and English translation if required as aforesaid) currently required to be filed in the Xxxxxxxx Islands pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13, if any, and in connection with the transfer of any Note the Company will furnish the transferee of such Note with copies of any Form and English translation then required.

If any payment is made by the Company to or for the account of the holder of any Note after deduction for or on account of any Taxes, and increased payments are made by the Company pursuant to this Section 13, then, if such holder at its sole discretion determines that it has received or been granted a refund of such Taxes, such holder shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such refund, reimburse to the Company such amount as such holder shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be attributable to the relevant Taxes or deduction or withholding. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of the holder of any Note to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, no holder of any Note shall be under any obligation to claim relief from its corporate profits or similar tax liability in respect of such Tax in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it or (other than as set forth in clause (b) above) oblige any holder of any Note to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof.

The Company will furnish the holders of Notes, promptly and in any event within 60 days after the date of any payment by the Company of any Tax in respect of any amounts paid under this Agreement or the Notes, the original tax receipt issued by the relevant taxation or other authorities involved for all amounts paid as aforesaid (or if such original tax receipt is not available or must legally be kept in the possession of the Company, a duly certified copy of the original tax receipt or any other reasonably satisfactory evidence of payment), together with such other documentary evidence with respect to such payments as may be reasonably requested from time to time by any holder of a Note.

If the Company is required by any applicable Law, as modified by the practice of the taxation or other authority of any relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, to make any deduction or withholding of any Tax in respect of which the Company would be required to pay any additional amount under this Section 13, but for any reason does not make such deduction or withholding with the result that a liability in respect of such Tax is assessed directly against the holder of any Note, and such holder pays such liability, then the Company will promptly reimburse such holder for such payment (including any related interest or penalties to the extent such interest or penalties arise by virtue of a default or delay by the Company) upon demand by such holder accompanied by an official receipt (or a duly certified copy thereof) issued by the taxation or other authority of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction.

If the Company makes payment to or for the account of any holder of a Note and such holder is entitled to a refund of the Tax to which such payment is attributable upon the making of a filing (other than a Form described above), then such holder shall, as soon as practicable after receiving written request from the Company (which shall specify in reasonable detail and supply the refund forms to be filed) use reasonable efforts to complete and deliver such refund forms to or as directed by the Company, subject, however, to the same limitations with respect to Forms as are set forth above.

The obligations of the Company under this Section 13 shall survive the payment or transfer of any Note and the provisions of this Section 13 shall also apply to successive transferees of the Notes.

14. REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES.

14.1. Registration of Notes.

The Company shall keep at its principal office a register for the registration and registration of transfers of Notes. The name and address of each holder of one or more Notes, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more Notes shall be registered in such register. If any holder of one or more Notes is a nominee, then the name and address of the beneficial owner of such Note or Notes shall also be registered in such register as an owner and holder thereof. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person(s) in whose name any Note(s) shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Company shall give to any holder of a Note that is an Institutional Investor promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered holders of Notes.

Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the forms of Exhibits 1-A and 1-B , as applicable. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $200,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $200,000. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note

registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Section 6.1 and 6.2 and any purported transfer of a Note not in accordance with this Section 14.2 shall be null and void and shall not be given effect for any purpose whatsoever.

14.3. Replacement of Notes.

Upon receipt by the Company at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 19(iii)) of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and

(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $50,000,000 or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or

(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,

within ten Business Days thereafter the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note of the same series, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

Subject to Section 15.2, payments of principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest becoming due and payable on the Notes shall be made in New York, New York at the principal office of Xxxxx Fargo Bank Northwest, N.A. in such jurisdiction. The Company may at any time, by notice to each holder of a Note, change the place of payment of the Notes so long as such place of payment shall be either the principal office of the Company in such jurisdiction or the principal office of a bank or trust company in such jurisdiction.

15.2. Home Office Payment.

So long as any Purchaser or its nominee shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 15.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest and all other amounts becoming due hereunder by the method and at the address specified for such purpose below such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A, or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently

designated by the Company pursuant to Section 15.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 14.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 15.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 15.2.

16. EXPENSES, ETC.

All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the purchase or transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such Purchaser or any other holder of a Note. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Financing Document shall be deemed representations and warranties of the Company under this Agreement or such other Financing Document. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement, the Notes and the other Financing Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between each Purchaser and the Company and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

18. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

18.1. Requirements.

This Agreement, the Notes and the other Financing Documents may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof, of the Notes or of any other Financing Document may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders, except that:

(a) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 22, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Purchaser unless consented to by such Purchaser in writing;

(b) no amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of each Purchaser and the holder of each Note at the time outstanding affected thereby, (i) subject to the provisions of Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of (A) interest on the Notes or (B) the Make-Whole Amount, (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment or waiver, or (iii) amend any of Section 8 (except as set forth in Section 18.1(c)), 11(a), 11(b), 12, 13, 18, 21 or 24.9; and

18.2. Solicitation of Holders of Notes.

(a) Solicitation. The Company will provide each Purchaser and each holder of a Note with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such Purchaser and such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof, of the Notes or of any other Financing Document. The Company will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 18 to each Purchaser and to each holder of a Note promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite Purchasers or holders of Notes.

(b) Payment. The Company will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any Purchaser or holder of a Note as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by such Purchaser or holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each Purchaser and holder of a Note even if such Purchaser or holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

Any consent made pursuant to this Section 18 by a holder of Notes that has transferred or has agreed to transfer its Notes to the Company, either ShipCo or any Affiliate of the Company and has provided or has agreed to provide such written consent as a condition to such transfer shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder.

18.3. Binding Effect, Etc.

Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 18 applies equally to all Purchasers and holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Company without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Company and any Purchaser or holder of a Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Purchaser or holder of such Note.

18.4. Notes Held by Company, Etc.

Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Financing Document, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

(c) The Company consents to process being served by or on behalf of any Secured Party in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 24.8(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified or priority mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, as its agent for the purpose of accepting service of any process in the United States at 1133 Avenue of the Americas, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 or delivering a copy thereof in the manner for delivery of notices specified in Section 19.

The parties hereto intend that this Subordination Agreement be enforceable by any applicable court under bankruptcy Law.

In the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, custodianship, liquidation, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other proceeding for the liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company (each, a “Proceeding”): (i) all Senior Indebtedness shall be Paid in Full before any payment (whether made in cash, securities or other property) of or with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be made; (ii) any payment which, but for the terms hereof, otherwise would be payable or deliverable in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be paid and deposited directly into the Project Account (to be held and/or applied by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of the Accounts Agreement) until all Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full, and each Subordinated Creditor irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs all receivers, trustees, liquidators, custodians, conservators and others having authority in the premises to effect all such payments, and each Subordinated Creditor also irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs the Secured Parties (or the Collateral Agent on their behalf) to demand, xxx for, collect and receive every such payment; (iii) each Subordinated Creditor agrees to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent all such further instruments confirming the authorization referred to in the foregoing clause (ii); and (iv) each Subordinated Creditor agrees to execute, verify, deliver and file any proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness reasonably requested by any Secured Party in connection with any such Proceeding and irrevocably authorizes, empowers and appoints the Secured Parties and their respective agents and attorneys-in-fact to (A) execute, verify, deliver and file such proofs of claim upon the failure of such Subordinated Creditor promptly to do so (and in any event prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file any such proof) and (B) vote such claim in any such Proceeding upon the failure of such Subordinated Creditor to do so prior to 15

days before the expiration of time to vote any such claim; provided that the Secured Parties shall have no obligation to execute, verify, deliver, and/or file any such proof of claim and/or vote any such claim. In the event that the Secured Parties vote any claim in accordance with the authority granted hereby, no Subordinated Creditor shall be entitled to change or withdraw such vote. The Senior Indebtedness shall continue to be treated as Senior Indebtedness and the provisions of this Subordination Agreement shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of the Secured Parties and the Subordinated Creditors even if all or part of the Senior Indebtedness or the Liens securing the Senior Indebtedness are subordinated, set aside, avoided or disallowed in connection with any such Proceeding and this Subordination Agreement shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of the Senior Indebtedness or any representative of such holder.

2.4 Incorrect Payments

If any payment (whether made in cash, securities or other property) not permitted under this Subordination Agreement is received by a Subordinated Creditor on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness before all Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full, such payment shall not be commingled with any asset of such Subordinated Creditor, shall be held in trust by such Subordinated Creditor for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall be deposited in the Project Account for application (in accordance with the Collateral Agency Agreement) to the payment of the Senior Indebtedness then remaining unpaid, until all of the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full.

2.5 Sale, Transfer

Each Subordinated Creditor agrees that it shall not sell, assign, dispose of or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Subordinated Indebtedness unless the assignee shall have executed an agreement in writing in favor of the Secured Parties agreeing to be bound by the provisions hereof in the same manner and to the same extent as the assigning Subordinated Creditor and shall provide an executed copy of such agreement (which executed copy shall include an address for notices to the assignee) to the Collateral Agent. In the event a Subordinated Creditor shall fail to comply with this section, the subordination effected hereby shall survive any sale, assignment, disposition or other transfer of all or any portion of the Subordinated Indebtedness held by such Subordinated Creditor, and the terms of this Subordination Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of such Subordinated Creditor, as provided in Section 6 below.

2.6 Legends

Until the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full, each of the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents at all times shall contain in a conspicuous manner the following legend (or such other wording acceptable to the Required Holders (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)):

“This [Loan Agreement] [Note] [or other Subordinated Indebtedness Document] and the indebtedness evidenced hereby are subordinate in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Subordination Agreement attached hereto as Schedule A (the “Subordination Agreement”), to the Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Subordination Agreement, and such indebtedness constitutes “Subordinated Indebtedness” for all purposes of the Subordination Agreement). Each [holder of this Note] [party to this Loan Agreement or other Subordinated Indebtedness Document], by its acceptance hereof, shall be bound by the provisions of the Subordination Agreement.”

2.7 Restriction on Action by Subordinated Creditors

Until the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full and notwithstanding anything contained in the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents, the Note Purchase Agreement or the other Financing Documents to the contrary, no Subordinated Creditor shall, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, take any action to collect or enforce payment or, except as provided hereafter, accelerate any of the Subordinated Indebtedness, exercise any of the rights or remedies with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness set forth in any of the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents or that otherwise may be available to such Subordinated Creditor, either at law or in equity, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, provided that the foregoing will not prevent a Subordinated Creditor from accelerating any of the Subordinated Indebtedness if in any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding initiated by a Subordinated Creditor) it is necessary for such Subordinated Creditor to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of such Subordinated Creditor allowed in such Proceeding.

3 Effectiveness of this Subordination Agreement; Modifications to Senior Indebtedness

This Subordination Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract among the Secured Parties, the Subordinated Creditors and the Company to the same extent as if the Secured Parties had executed and delivered this Subordination Agreement. In any event, the Secured Parties shall be deemed to be third party beneficiaries of this Subordination Agreement. The terms of this Subordination Agreement, the subordination effected hereby, and the rights and the obligations of the Subordinated Creditors and the Secured Parties arising hereunder, shall not be affected, modified or impaired in any manner or to any extent by: (a) any amendment or modification of or supplement to the Note Purchase Agreement or any other Financing Document or any Subordinated Indebtedness Document; (b) the validity or enforceability of any of such agreements, documents or instruments; or (c) any exercise or non-exercise of any right, power or remedy under or in respect of the Senior Indebtedness or the Subordinated Indebtedness or any of the agreements, documents or instruments referred to in clause (a) above. The Secured Parties may at any time and from time to time without the consent of or notice to any Subordinated Creditor, without incurring liability to any Subordinated Creditor and without impairing or releasing the obligations of any Subordinated Creditor under this Subordination Agreement, change the manner or place of payment or extend the time of payment of or refinance, renew, add or alter any Senior Indebtedness (including increasing the principal amount thereof, interest applicable thereto or any fee or charges), or amend, supplement, amend and restate or otherwise modify in any manner any Financing Document or any of the provisions therein contained (including, without limitation, any covenants or default provisions), in all cases in accordance with the terms thereof.

4 Modification

Any modification or waiver of any provision of this Subordination Agreement, or any consent to any departure by the Subordinated Creditors therefrom, shall not be effective in any event unless the same is in writing and signed by the Company and each Subordinated Creditor subject thereto (with the approval of the Required Holders (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that no such approval will be required for any modification, waiver or consent that does not materially and adversely affect the rights of any holder of the Notes), and then such modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. Any notice to or demand on a Subordinated Creditor in any event not specifically required of the Secured Parties hereunder shall not entitle such Subordinated Creditor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances unless specifically required hereunder.

5 Additional Documents and Actions

Each Subordinated Creditor at any time, and from time to time, after the execution and delivery of this Subordination Agreement, upon the request of the Secured Parties and at the expense of the Company, promptly will execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things as the Secured Parties may request, acting reasonably, in order to effect fully the purposes of this Subordination Agreement.

6 Successors and Assigns

This Subordination Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Secured Parties and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Subordinated Creditors and the Company.

7 Defines Rights of Creditors; Subrogation

7.1

Rights of Creditors. The provisions of this Subordination Agreement are solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Subordinated Creditors and the Secured Parties and shall not be deemed to create any rights or priorities in favor of any other Person, including, without limitation, the Company.

Subject to the Payment in Full of all Senior Indebtedness, in the event and to the extent cash, property or securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall have been applied pursuant to this Subordination Agreement to the payment of Senior Indebtedness, then and in each such event, the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be subrogated to the rights of each holder of the Senior Indebtedness to receive any further payment or distribution in respect of or applicable to the Senior Indebtedness; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payment or distribution to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which any holder of the Subordinated Indebtedness would be entitled except for the provisions of this Subordination Agreement shall, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Subordination Agreement to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness by the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness.

8 Conflict

In the event of any conflict between any term, covenant or condition of this Subordination Agreement and any term, covenant or condition of any of the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents, the provisions of this Subordination Agreement shall control and govern.

Each Subordinated Creditor agrees that it will not, and will not encourage any other Person to, at any time, contest the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Senior Indebtedness or Liens in the Collateral granted to the Secured Parties pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the other Financing Documents or accept or take any Lien or any collateral security for the Subordinated Indebtedness or agree to subordinate any of the Subordinated Indebtedness to any other indebtedness of the Company (other than the Senior Indebtedness).

12 Governing Law

This Subordination Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice of law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

Dear Sirs,

Re:

First Priority Bahamian Mortgage with respect to m.v. [Bossa Nova Spirit] / [Sertanejo

Spirit] (“the Vessel”)

You have requested our legal opinion as your special Bahamian counsel with respect to a first priority Bahamian registered mortgage dated [ ] 2013 (the “Mortgage”) granted by [Bossa Nova Spirit L.L.C.] / [Sertanejo Spirit L.L.C.], a company registered in accordance with the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands (the “Owner”) in favour of Xxxxx Fargo Bank Northwest, N.A., not in its individual capacity but solely as Collateral Agent (the “Collateral Agent”) and a Deed of Covenants dated [ ] 2013 made between the Owner and the Collateral Agent (the “Deed of Covenants”) (the Deed of Covenants together with the Mortgage, the “Security Documents”) pursuant to a Guarantee and Security Agreement dated [ ] 2013 (the “Guarantee and Security Agreement”) among, inter alia, the Owner and the Collateral Agent as security for the obligations of Teekay Shuttle Tanker Finance L.L.C., a company formed under the laws of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands (the “Company”) under a Note Purchase Agreement dated [ ] 2013 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) among the Company, each of the purchasers listed therein (the “Purchasers”), and the Collateral Agent.

1.	Interpretation

In this opinion:-

“Act” means the Merchant Shipping Act (as amended) Ch 268 of the 2000 Revised Statute Laws of The Bahamas.

“the Documents” mean the documents listed in Clause 2 of this opinion.

“law” includes any order of any governmental, judicial, regulatory or other authority compliance with which is considered by us to be mandatory.

2.	Documents

For the purpose of this opinion we have examined copies of the following documents:-

2.1	a Transcript of Register dated [ ] 2013 with respect to the Vessel issued by the [London/New York] office of the Bahamas Maritime Authority;

2.2	the Mortgage;

2.3	the Deed of Covenants;

2.4	the Guarantee and Security Agreement;

2.5	the Note Purchase Agreement; and

2.6	the Power of Attorney dated August 28, 2013 for the Owner.

3.	Assumptions

In giving this opinion, we have assumed that:-

3.1	Authenticity of original documents: all signatures, seals and markings on the Documents are, as appears to us, authentic;

3.2	Conformity of copies: the copies of the Documents presented to us conform to the originals; and

3.3	Authorization: the due capacity and authority of all persons executing the Documents and that the same have been duly executed by the parties to it.

4.	Opinion

Based on and relying on the assumptions set out above and subject to the qualifications set out below, we are of the opinion that:-

4.1	The Vessel is provisionally registered under the Bahamian flag at the port of Nassau, The Bahamas in the name and ownership of the Owner free from any mortgage, lien or other registered encumbrance except the Mortgage;

4.2	The Mortgage was duly registered and recorded in the Registry of Bahamian ships on [ ] 2013 at [ ] hrs.;

4.3	The Mortgage constitutes a legal, valid and binding first priority statutory mortgage over the Vessel enforceable in accordance with its terms in favour of the Collateral Agent;

4.4

If within thirty (30) days of the date of expiration of the provisional certificate of registry the Vessel has not fulfilled the requirements of registration, you shall have power absolutely to dispose of the Vessel, notwithstanding that the Owner has complied fully with any other requirements of the Mortgage;

4.5

It is not necessary under the laws of The Bahamas that the Collateral Agent or the Purchasers be licensed, authorized, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in The Bahamas (i) for the entering into, execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Security Documents or (ii) to enable the Collateral Agent or the Purchasers to enforce their rights under the Security Documents;

4.6

None of the Collateral Agent or the Purchasers will be deemed to be resident, domiciled, carrying on business or subject to taxation in The Bahamas by reason of the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance or enforcement of, and/or receipt of any payment due from the Owner under the Security Documents;

4.7	The Security Documents are in proper form for their enforcement in the courts of The Bahamas;

4.8

No taxes of The Bahamas are imposed by withholding or otherwise on any payment to be made by the Owner under the Security Documents or are imposed on or by virtue of the execution or delivery of the Security Documents or any document or instrument to be executed or delivered under the Security Documents;

4.9	No stamp or registration duty or similar taxes, or filing or notarization or recording fees, or other charges are payable in respect of the Security Documents except in relation to the registration of the Mortgage (which sums have been paid);

4.10

No registration, notarization, filing, recording, enrolment or other official action in any court, public office or elsewhere in The Bahamas is necessary or advisable to create, validate, perfect, establish or maintain the priority of the security created by the Security Documents or to ensure the legality, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of the Security Documents (with the exception of the Mortgage which must and has been registered at the Bahamas Maritime Authority);

4.11

All authorisations, approvals, consents, licences, exemptions, filings, registrations, recordings, notarizations, payments of taxes and duties and other matters, official or otherwise required or advisable in connection with the entry into, execution, delivery, performance, validity, enforceability and admissibility in evidence of the Security Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby have been obtained or effected and are in full force and effect;

4.12

The property which is the subject of the Security Documents is legally capable of being mortgaged or charged under the laws of The Bahamas and the security thereby created will confer a valid and effective charge and claim over such property in favour of the Collateral Agent in the event of the Owner’s liquidation and/or bankruptcy;

4.13	Any lien exercisable by a ship-builder or repairer over a ship in his possession shall take priority over all claims arising after such possession was taken but shall be postponed to those claims which were created before the time of taking possession;

4.14

The maritime liens set out in Section 277 ((i) wages and other sums due to the master, officers and other members of the Vessel’s complement in respect of their employment on such Vessel, (ii) port, canal, and other waterway dues and pilotage dues and any outstanding fees payable in respect of the Vessel, (iii) claims against an Owner in respect of loss of life or personal injury occurring, whether on land or on water, in direct connection with the operation of a Vessel, (iv) claims against any Owner, based on tort and not capable of being based on contract, in respect of loss of or damage to property occurring, whether on land or on water, in direct connection with the operation of a Vessel, (v) claims for salvage, wreck removal and contribution in general average) of the Act shall take priority over any mortgages registered under the Act or any preferential rights arising under the laws of The Bahamas in the event of an Owner’s liquidation and/or bankruptcy and no other claim shall take priority over such mortgages or rights; and

4.15

To enforce a conclusive and unsatisfied judgment which is enforceable by execution in New York it is necessary to bring separate proceedings in the appropriate courts of The Bahamas founded on the judgment and those courts will recognise and accept the judgment without re-trial or examination of the merits of the case provided that:

(a)

such courts in New York had proper jurisdiction over the parties subject to such judgment;

(b)

such courts did not contravene the rules of natural justice of The Bahamas;

(c)

such judgment was not obtained by fraud;

(d)

the enforcement of such judgment would not be contrary to the public policy of The Bahamas;

(e)

the correct procedures are complied with as required by the laws of The Bahamas; and

(f)

the judgment is not inconsistent with a Bahamian judgment in respect of the same matter.

5.	Qualifications

The opinions expressed above are, however, subject to the following qualifications:-

5.1	The enforcement of the Security Documents may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, limitation of actions or other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

5.2	Obligations or liabilities of the Owner otherwise than for payment of money may not be enforceable in The Bahamas by way of such equitable remedies as injunction or specific performance which remedies are in the discretion of the courts.

5.3	Any provisions requiring any party to pay interest on overdue amounts in excess of the rate (if any) payable on such amounts before they become overdue may be unenforceable if held by a Bahamian Court to be unconscionable and therefore a penalty.

5.4	If any provision of any document is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the severance of such provision from the remaining provisions of such document will be subject to the exercise of the discretion of a Bahamian Court.

5.5

Any provision in any of the Security Documents that certain calculations and/or certificates will be conclusive and binding will not be effective if such calculations and/or certificates are fraudulent or erroneous on their face and will not necessarily prevent judicial enquiry into the merits of any claim by an aggrieved party.

5.6	If any party toany of the Security Documents is vested with a discretion or may determine a matter in its opinion, the courts of The Bahamas may require that such discretion or opinion is exercised reasonably.

5.7	Insofar as the parties resort to the Bahamian Courts, claims may be or become subject to defenses of set-off or counterclaim.

5.8

A Bahamian court may refuse to give effect to a purported contractual obligation to pay costs imposed upon another party in respect of the costs of any successful litigation brought against that party and such a court may not award by way of costs all of the expenditure incurred by a successful litigant in proceedings brought before that Court.

This opinion is confined to and given on the basis of the laws of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas as currently applied by the courts of the said Commonwealth. We have not investigated and we do not express or imply any opinion on the laws of any other jurisdiction, and we have assumed no other law would affect the opinion stated herein.

This opinion is addressed to you and is solely for your benefit and the benefit of your legal advisers and is not to be relied upon by any person or legal entity other than yourselves and your legal advisers and also to the holders from time to time of the Notes on a non-reliance basis.

A copy of this opinion may be provided for the purpose of information only to Fitch since we understand that they wish to know that an opinion has been given and to be made aware of its terms.

Yours faithfully,

LENNOX PATO

Dear Sirs:

We have acted as special counsel for Teekay Shuttle Tanker Finance L.L.C. (“Teekay Shuttle”), Bossa Nova Spirit L.L.C. (f/k/a X.X.X. Xxxx Xx. 0000 L.L.C.) [(“Bossa Nova” and together with Teekay Xxxxxx, the “Teekay Parties”], Sertanejo Spirit L.L.C. (f/k/a X.X.X. Xxxx Xx. 0000 X.X.X.) [(“Sertanejo” and together with Teekay Shuttle, the “Teekay Parties”)], each a Xxxxxxxx Islands limited liability company, and Teekay Offshore Partners L.P., a Xxxxxxxx Islands limited partnership, on matters of the law of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands (“Xxxxxxxx Islands Law”) in connection with the issuance and sale by Teekay Shuttle of

$174,150,000 aggregate principal amount of its senior notes, of which $87,075,000 aggregate principal amount shall be its 4.91% Series A Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (the “Series A Notes”) and, at a later date and contemporaneous with the cancellation of the Series A Notes, $174,150,000 aggregate principal amount shall be its 4.96% Series B Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (together with the Series A Notes, the “Notes”), pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated September 10, 2013 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) among Xxxxx Fargo Bank Northwest, N.A., as Collateral Agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), Teekay Shuttle and the purchasers signatory thereto.

This opinion letter is being delivered to you at the request of Teekay Shuttle.

As such counsel, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of an Offshore Assignment of Insurance Proceeds dated the date hereof (the “Insurance Proceeds Assignment”) among [Bossa Nova] / [Sertanejo], Teekay Shuttle, Teekay Shipping Limited, a Bahamian company, and the Collateral Agent in respect of the insurance proceeds of the Bahamian registered vessel [BOSSA NOVA SPIRIT] / [SERTANEJO SPIRIT].

We have also reviewed such other papers, documents, agreements, certificates of public officials and certificates of representatives of the Teekay Parties as we have deemed relevant and necessary as the basis for the opinions hereafter expressed.

In such examination, we have assumed: (i) the legal capacity of each natural person, (ii) the legal existence and capacity of all non-natural persons (other than the Teekay Parties), (iii) the genuineness of all

Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP is a Delaware limited liability partnership. Any reference to a ‘partner’ means a member of Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, or a member or partner in an affiliated undertaking, or an employee or consultant with equivalent standing and qualification.

To the Purchasers listed in Schedule A hereto		Page 2
[—], 201[—]

signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iv) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as conformed or photostatic copies, (v) that there have been no undisclosed modifications, either written, verbal or otherwise, of any provision of any document reviewed by us in connection with the rendering of the opinions set forth herein, (vi) the completeness of each document submitted to us and (vii) the truthfulness of each statement as to all factual matters otherwise not known to us to be untruthful contained in any document or certificate encompassed within the due diligence review undertaken by us. We have also assumed the power, authority and legal right of all parties (other than the Teekay Parties) to the Insurance Proceeds Assignment to enter into and perform their respective obligations thereunder and the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Insurance Proceeds Assignment by such parties. We have further assumed the validity and enforceability of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Insurance Proceeds Assignment under all applicable laws.

As to matters of fact material to this opinion letter that have not been independently established, we have relied upon the representations and certificates of officers or representatives of the Teekay Parties as we have deemed relevant and appropriate and of public officials, and upon the representations and warranties of each of the Teekay Parties in the Note Purchase Agreement. We have not independently verified the facts so relied on.

This opinion letter is limited to Xxxxxxxx Islands Law, and is as of the date hereof. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to advise of any development or circumstance of any kind, including any change of law or fact that may occur after the date of this opinion letter that might affect the opinions expressed therein. We do not express any opinion on Xxxxxxxx Islands “blue sky” laws. Although we are not licensed to practice law in the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands, we are experienced in transactions involving the corporate and maritime laws of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands, which are similar to the transactions contemplated by the Insurance Proceeds Assignment. In rendering our opinion as to the valid existence in good standing of each of the Teekay Parties, we have relied solely on Certificates of Goodstanding issued by the Registrar of Corporations of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands on September [—], 2013.

As used herein, the phrase “to our knowledge” means the actual knowledge, based on conscious awareness of facts or other information, by any lawyer in our New York office involved in the preparation of this opinion letter or actively involved in advising or assisting Teekay Shuttle in the transactions contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement.

Based on the foregoing and having regard to legal considerations which we deem relevant, and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

(1)	Each of the Teekay Parties is validly existing in good standing as a limited liability company under Xxxxxxxx Islands Law.

(2)	Each of the Teekay Parties has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Insurance Proceeds Assignment and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

(3)	The Insurance Proceeds Assignment has been duly authorized and validly executed by each of the Teekay Parties.


To the Purchasers listed in Schedule A hereto		Page 3
[—], 201[—]

(4)

No consent, licenses, permits, approvals (including exchange control approvals), notarizations, exemptions of or authorizations by, or filing or registration with, any governmental authority or regulatory body of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands is required as a condition to the execution, delivery, legality, validity, performance and enforceability of the Insurance Proceeds Assignment or its admissibility in evidence.

(5)	No stamp or registration duty or similar taxes or charges are payable in respect of the Insurance Proceeds Assignment.

(6)	The choice by the Teekay Parties of English law to govern the Insurance Proceeds Assignments constitutes a valid choice of law under Xxxxxxxx Islands Law.

(7)	The submission by each of the Teekay Parties in the Insurance Proceeds Assignments to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England is a valid submission under Xxxxxxxx Islands law.

The authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the Insurance Proceeds Assignment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not (i) conflict with or constitute a violation of any of the organizational documents of any of the Teekay Parties or (ii) violate Xxxxxxxx Islands Law.

(9)

Assuming that none of the equity interests of any of the Teekay Parties is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands or any other sovereign, none of the Teekay Parties or any of their respective properties has an immunity from jurisdiction from any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise) in the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands.

(10)

A judgment granted by a foreign court against any of the Teekay Parties may be recognized in the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands without a retrial on the merits of the matter, so long as the foreign judgment grants or denies recovery of a sum of money, and is final and conclusive and enforceable where rendered even though an appeal therefrom is pending, or subject to appeal. A foreign judgment is not conclusive if: (i) the judgment was rendered under a system which does not provide impartial tribunals or procedures compatible with the requirements of due process of law, (ii) the foreign court did not have personal jurisdiction over the defendant, (iii) the foreign court did not have jurisdiction over the subject matter, or (iv) the foreign court does not recognize or enforce the judgments of any other foreign nation. A foreign judgment need not be recognized if: (i) the defendant in the proceedings in the foreign court did not receive notice of the proceedings in sufficient time to enable him to defend, (ii) the judgment was obtained by fraud, (iii) the cause of action on which the judgment is based is repugnant to the public policy of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands, (iv) the judgment conflicts with another final and conclusive judgment, (v) the proceeding in the foreign court was contrary to an agreement between the parties under which the dispute in question was to be settled otherwise than by proceedings in the court, or (vi) in the case of jurisdiction based only on personal service, the foreign court was a seriously inconvenient forum for the trial of the action.
