(unless an Event of Loss (as hereinafter defined) has occurred as to the Vessel
or the safety or welfare of the Mortgagor's employees on the Vessel is
endangered), will not engage in any unlawful trade, violate any law or carry any
cargo that will expose the Vessel to penalty, forfeiture or capture and will not
do, or suffer or permit to be done, anything which can or may injuriously affect

nothing in this Section 2.5 shall require the Mortgagor to pay any such claim,
fee, tax, assessment, governmental charge, fine or penalty so long as the

proceedings, and, provided, further, that such contest shall not subject the
-------- -------
Vessel, or any part thereof, to forfeiture or loss.
5
Section 2.6. Liens. Neither the Mortgagor, any charterer, the master of
-----
the Vessel nor any other person has or shall have any right, power or authority

insurance and any deductible applicable thereto;
(iv) Liens for repairs; and
(v) Liens disclosed on Schedule 2.2 hereto;

ship's husband, or agent, for wages of the crew (including Master's Wages) for
general average, or for salvage (including contract salvage), be permitted only
to the extent such Liens are either accrued (but not yet due) or are subordinate
to the Lien of this Mortgage. Nothing contained in this Section 2.6 constitutes
a waiver by the Mortgagee of the Mortgagee's preferred status pursuant to the
provisions of Chapters 301 and 313 of Title 46 of the United States Code. If
any such Lien is placed on the Vessel which is not subordinate to the Lien of
this Mortgage, Mortgagor will promptly after becoming aware of such Lien notify
the Mortgagee.

The Mortgagor will at all times carry on board the Vessel (with the ship's
papers) a certified copy of this Mortgage and any amendments and supplements
hereto and any assignments hereof, and will exhibit or cause to be exhibited the
same to any person having business with the Vessel which might give rise to a
Lien upon the Vessel or to the sale, conveyance, mortgage or lease thereof and,
on demand, to any representative of the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor will also
place and keep prominently displayed on the Vessel a framed printed notice in
plain type of such size that the paragraph of reading matter shall cover a space

--------
placed and kept with the United States Government, or such insurance companies,

-----------------------
requisition or charter of the use of the Vessel by any governmental body of the
United States of America (including, without limitation, the state of
Mississippi), the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall be deemed to have been
complied with in all respects as to the Vessel if the United States Government
or any governmental body (including, without limitation, the state of

the United States Government
9
or governmental body (including, without limitation, the state of Mississippi)
or there shall have been an actual or constructive total loss or an agreed or
compromised total loss of the Vessel. In the event of any taking, requisition,
charter or loss of the Vessel contemplated by this paragraph (g), the Mortgagor

without limitation, the state of Mississippi) has agreed (i) to reimburse the
Mortgagor for loss or damage resulting from the risks indicated in the above-
mentioned paragraphs (a) and (b) or (ii) that the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee, as
the case may be, is entitled to just compensation therefor.
(h) Mortgage Provisions. All insurance required under this Section
-------------------
2.13 shall be taken out in the name of the Mortgagor. The Mortgagee shall be

commissions, (ii) if such policies provide for the payment of club calls,
assessments or advances, there shall be no recourse against the Mortgagee (or
its assignee) for the payment thereof, and (iii) at least ten (10) days' or such
greater period as may be provided in any such policy prior written notice of any
cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage of such
insurance shall be given to the Mortgagee (or its assignee) by the insurance
underwriters. All policies for physical damage shall also contain a breach of
warranty clause in favor of the Mortgagee, to the extent applicable.
(i) Compliance. The Mortgagor shall not do any act, nor voluntarily
----------
suffer nor permit any act to be done, whereby any insurance required by this
Section 2.13 shall or may be suspended, impaired or defeated, or suffer or
permit the Vessel to engage in any voyage, to engage in any activity or to carry
any cargo not permitted under the policies of insurance then in effect without
first procuring reasonably comparable insurance for such voyage, activity or the
carriage of such cargo.
(j) Assignment of Insurance to Surety. In the event that any claim or
---------------------------------
Lien is asserted against the Vessel for loss, damage or expense which is covered
by insurance hereunder and it is necessary for the Mortgagor to obtain a bond or
supply other security to prevent arrest of the Vessel or to obtain the release
of the Vessel from arrest on account of said claim or Lien, so long as no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Mortgagee, upon the written
request of the Mortgagor, shall assign all or any part of its right, title and
interest in and to said insurance covering such loss, damage or expense, to any
entity executing a surety or guaranty bond or other agreement to save or release
the Vessel from such arrest as collateral security to indemnify against
liability under said bond or other agreement.

--------
deliver to the Mortgagee true copies of the original policies, certified to the
satisfaction of the Mortgagee, evidencing the insurance maintained under this
Section 2.13. If the Mortgagor executes any new or renewal policies of insurance
under this Section 2.13, the Mortgagor, upon the request of Mortgagee, will
promptly deliver to the Mortgagee true copies of such policies.
10
(l) Opinion and Certificates. At such times as the Mortgagee
------------------------
may reasonably request, the Mortgagor shall furnish or cause to be furnished to
the Mortgagee a detailed certificate or opinion (signed by a reputable insurance
broker) as to the insurance maintained by the Mortgagor pursuant to this Section
2.13, specifying the respective policies of insurance covering the same and
attaching certificates of confirmation evidencing the same and stating with
regard to the insurance maintained by the Mortgagor pursuant to this Section
2.13 the amounts, deductibles, and the risks against which such insurance is
issued.
(m) Oil Pollution. The Mortgagor shall on behalf and for the
-------------
benefit of itself and the Mortgagee (i) when required by law, maintain a
Certificate of Financial Responsibility (Oil Pollution) issued by the United
States Coast Guard pursuant to the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, as amended, and
(ii) maintain such additional coverage for the Vessel in respect of oil
pollution liability as may be customary among prudent owners of similar vessels
from time to time.
(n) Obligation to Collect. Mortgagor shall, at no cost or
---------------------
expense to the Mortgagee, have the duty and responsibility to make all proofs of

Mortgagee may, to the fullest extent permitted by and in accordance with
applicable law:
(a) exercise all the rights and remedies in foreclosure and
otherwise given to mortgagees by the provisions of the Chapter 313 of Title 46
of the United States Code, as amended, or by the applicable laws of any other
applicable jurisdiction;

against any assets of the Mortgagor, whether they are covered by this Mortgage
or otherwise;
(c) take possession of the Vessel, with or without legal
proceedings, at any place where it may be found, and the Mortgagor or any person
in possession of the Vessel, forthwith upon request by the Mortgagee, as
mortgage creditor, shall deliver possession to the Mortgagee on demand of the
Mortgagee, and the Mortgagee shall have the right, subject to applicable law,
without being responsible for loss or damage to lay up, hold, charter, lease,
operate or otherwise use the Vessel for such period and under such conditions as
it may deem most expedient for its interest, accounting only for net profits, if
any, arising from such use and charging against all receipts from such use or
from the sale of the Vessel by court proceedings or
11
pursuant to subsection (d) below, all costs, expenses, charges, damages or
losses by reason of such use; and if at any time the Mortgagee shall avail
itself of the right herein given to it to take the Vessel and shall take it, the

premises owned or leased by the Mortgagor without charge, or at any other place
at the cost and expense of the Mortgagor;
(d) sell the Vessel at public or private sale, by sealed bids or

notice of ten (10) consecutive days published in any newspaper authorized to
publish legal notices of that kind in the port of registry and the place of sale
of the Vessel and by sending notice of such sale at least fourteen (14) days
prior to the date fixed for such sale, by telegraph, cable or telex, confirmed
by mail, to the Mortgagor. In the event that the Vessel shall be offered for

its successors and assigns, and all persons claiming by, through or under them.
No purchaser shall be bound to inquire whether notice has been given or whether

application of the proceeds thereof.

bills of sale), the Mortgagor hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said
attorney shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, the Mortgagor shall,
if so requested by the Mortgagee, ratify and confirm any sale of the Vessel by

any insurance thereon as payment of losses or as return premiums or otherwise,
salvage awards and recoveries, recoveries in general average or otherwise, and
all other sums due or to become due in respect of the Vessel or in respect of
any insurance thereon from any person whomsoever, and to make, give and execute
in the name of the Mortgagor acquittances, receipts, releases or other
discharges for the same, whether under seal or otherwise, and to endorse and
accept in the name of the Mortgagor all checks, notes, drafts, warrants,

the Mortgagor hereby confirming and ratifying the same.

in addition to any and all other rights, powers and remedies elsewhere in this
Mortgage granted to and conferred upon the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee in any suit

of right and not as a matter of discretion (i) to seek the appointment of a
receiver or receivers of the Vessel and any receiver or receivers so appointed
shall have full right and power to use and operate the Vessel as shall be
ordered by the federal court, and (ii) to a decree ordering and directing the
sale and disposal of the Vessel, and the Mortgagee may become the purchaser at
such sale and shall have the right to credit against the purchase price any and
all sums of money due hereunder.

-----------------------
proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by
foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely
to the Mortgagee, then and in every such case the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee
shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored to their
former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the property subject or
intended to be subject to this Mortgage, and all rights, remedies and powers of
the Mortgagee shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, continue
as if no such proceedings had been taken.

Mortgagee, as mortgage creditor, and the expenses and reasonable administrator
and attorneys' fees incurred on foreclosure or in the protection of the rights
and interests of the Mortgagee founded upon this Mortgage;

(iii) to reduce or pay in full the Obligations; and
(iv) to the payment of any surplus thereafter remaining to
the Mortgagor or to whomsoever shall be entitled thereto.
Section 3.6. No Transfer in Violation of Shipping Act.

charter, transfer or other disposition of the Vessel or any interest therein may

successors or assigns, to apply for and receive possession of and to take
possession of the Vessel with all the rights and powers that the Mortgagor, or
its successors or assigns, might have, possess or exercise in any such event;
and this power of attorney shall be irrevocable and may be exercised not only by

each and every power and remedy whether herein given or otherwise existing may
be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed
expedient by the Mortgagee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of

transfer, assignment, exchange or other disposition of the Vessel not prohibited
by the Indenture or otherwise (and upon receipt by the Trustee of all proceeds

required to be remitted to the Trustee under the Indenture), the Vessel shall be
released from the Lien and security interest created hereunder in accordance

------------------------------------
provision of this Mortgage to the contrary, it is intended that neither this

Mortgagor agrees that if the Mortgage, or any Liens securing this Mortgage,
would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent
Conveyance, this Mortgage and each such Lien shall be valid and enforceable only
to the maximum extent that would not cause this Mortgage or such Lien to
constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and this Mortgage shall automatically be
deemed to have been amended accordingly at all relevant times. For purposes
hereof, a "Fraudulent Conveyance" means a fraudulent conveyance under ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Code, as amended from time to time (or any
