remedies available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, and the
rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and under the Preferred Marine
Mortgages securing the Note.
6. Lease and Assignment.
(a) WITHOUT LENDER'S PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT, NO BORROWER SHALL
(EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PERMITTED UNDER THE PREFERRED MARINE MORTGAGE) (i) ASSIGN,
TRANSFER, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATE OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF, THE EQUIPMENT OR ANY
INTEREST THEREIN, OR ASSIGN OR DELEGATE ITS RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN
5
DOCUMENTS, OR (ii) LEASE OR LEND THE EQUIPMENT TO, OR PERMIT THE EQUIPMENT TO BE
USED BY, ANYONE OTHER THAN A BORROWER OR A BORROWER'S QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES,
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT LENDER CONSENTS TO USE OF A VESSEL BY CHARTERER SUBJECT
IN EACH CASE TO LENDER'S SECURITY INTEREST UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.
(b) Lender may sell, transfer, grant participations in, assign
and/or grant a security interest (any such transaction, a "Transfer"), in all or
part of Lender's right, title and interest in the Note, and in the other Loan

security interests in favor of Lender securing such Loan). In the event of any
Transfer, the relevant transferee shall have and may exercise, with respect to
the Loan subject to such Transfer, all of Lender's rights hereunder, and NO
BORROWER SHALL ASSERT AGAINST ANY SUCH PURCHASER, TRANSFEREE, ASSIGNEE OR
SECURED PARTY ANY DEFENSE, COUNTERCLAIM OR OFFSET THAT ANY BORROWER MAY HAVE
AGAINST LENDER. Each Borrower agrees that upon written notice to such Borrower
of any Transfer, such Borrower shall acknowledge receipt thereof in writing and

force and effect and the absence of any Default thereunder, and such other
information as Lender or such transferee may reasonably require.
(c) Subject to the foregoing, all covenants and agreements
contained herein shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, Lender and
its successors and assigns and Borrowers and their successors and permitted
assigns.
7. Taxes. Borrowers shall pay when due any and all taxes, fees, levies,

on or with respect to the Collateral, on the use thereof, or on this Agreement

imposed on Lender generally, (ii) taxes imposed on Lender's net or gross income,
and any taxes which are being contested in good faith (and for the payment of

appropriate proceedings so long as such proceedings do not involve any material
risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of any Collateral and do not and will not
adversely affect Lender's right, title and interest in the Collateral.
8. Lender's Right to Perform for Borrower. If any Borrower fails to
perform or comply with any Obligations contained in the Loan Documents, Lender
may (but shall not be obligated to do so), on ten (10) days' notice (or such
shorter, or no, notice, as may be reasonable under the circumstances) to
Borrowers, if such failure is not cured by the last day of such period, itself
perform or comply with such Obligations, and the amount of the reasonable costs
and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with such performance or
compliance, together with interest on such amount from the date paid by Lender
until the date repaid by Borrowers to Lender, at the Default Rate, shall be
payable by Borrowers to Lender upon demand. No such performance or compliance by
Lender shall be deemed a waiver of the rights and remedies of Lender or any
successor or assignee of Lender against Borrowers hereunder or be deemed to cure
any Default of Borrowers hereunder. All such sums and amounts so expended by
Lender shall be repayable by Borrowers immediately without notice or demand,
shall be secured by the Vessels and related Collateral, and shall bear interest
from the date said amounts are expended at the Default Rate.
9. Delinquent Payments; Interest; Late Charges. If Borrowers fail to
pay any of the Installments within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from
Lender that the same were not paid when due, Borrowers shall pay to Lender
interest on such overdue Installment, from the date it became due until paid, at
the Default Rate. Such interest shall be payable by Borrowers upon demand by
Lender and shall be deemed part of the Obligations secured by the Vessels and
related Collateral securing the Note. Borrowers shall also pay Lender any late
charges pursuant to the terms of the Note. In no event shall such late charge
exceed the maximum amounts permitted under Applicable Law.
10. Personal Property; Liens; Warranty of Title. Except for Permitted
Maritime Liens, Borrowers shall (i) promptly after becoming aware of the
existence thereof, give Lender written notice of any Lien on the Collateral,
(ii) promptly, at Borrowers' sole cost and expense, take such action as may be
necessary to discharge any such Lien, and (iii) indemnify and hold Lender
harmless from and against any loss or damage caused by any such Lien. Each of
Maritrans 250 Co. and Maritrans Intrepid Co. warrant that it has good, valid and
marketable title to the Equipment, respectively, and that (i) the security
interest in the Collateral granted to Lender under the Loan Documents, when
properly perfected by any required filing, shall constitute a valid and
perfected first priority Lien and security interest in the Collateral and, (ii)
the Collateral is not subject to, and Borrowers will not grant or permit
6
to exist, any Liens or claims on or against the Collateral, whether senior,
superior, junior, subordinate or equal to the security interest granted to
Lender under the Loan Documents, or otherwise.

any representation or warranty made by any Borrower as applicable herein or in
any of the Loan Documents, certificates, financial statements or other
statements furnished to Lender in connection with the Loan shall prove to be
false or misleading in any material respect as of the date on which the same was
made; (7) any Borrower, as applicable, shall fail to satisfy within sixty (60)
days after the later of (i) entry thereof or (ii) the termination of the most
recent stay, any final judgment rendered against such Borrower as applicable, by

been paid in full within thirty (30) days after any Borrower becomes aware

imminent seizure or forfeiture, unless the Note shall have been paid in full;
(9) any Event of Default, under and as defined in the Note or Preferred Marine
Mortgages, shall occur and be continuing; (10) Maritrans Inc. shall fail to

its option, may declare any or all of Borrowers' Obligations under the Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, the Note, to be immediately due and
payable, without demand or notice to Borrowers and Lender shall have the
immediate right to enforce its security interests in Collateral, and under the
Preferred Marine Mortgages; provided, however, that if the Event of Default
results from the arrest or attachment of a Vessel and Borrowers pay the Note in
full within ten (10) days of Lender's demand for payment, such Event of Default
shall be deemed cured. If Borrowers fail to make such a payment within ten (10)
days, the Obligations and liabilities accelerated thereby shall bear interest,
both before and after any judgment, until paid in full at the Default Rate.
(ii) Furthermore, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Lender shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies provided
herein, in the other Loan Documents or by law, the rights and remedies of a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code under the laws of the State of
New York (the "UCC") (regardless of whether the UCC is the law of the
jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted and regardless of
whether the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and further Lender may do
any one or more of the following as Lender in its sole discretion may elect,
with or without judicial process or the aid and assistance of others: (A) enter
and remain on any premises on which any of the Equipment may be located and,
without resistance or interference by Borrowers, and without liability to Lender
by reason of such entry or taking possession, take possession of the Equipment;
(B) prepare for sale and sell or otherwise dispose of any Equipment at its
location; (C) require Borrowers to assemble and make available to Lender, at
Borrowers' expense, any Equipment at
7
any place and time designated by Lender; (D) remove any Equipment from any such
premises for the purpose of effecting sale or other disposition thereof; (E)
without demand and without advertisement, notice, hearing or process of law, all
of which Borrowers hereby waive, at any place and time or times, sell and
deliver any or all Collateral held by or for it at public or private sale, by
one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, for cash, upon credit or
otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as Lender deems advisable, in its
reasonable discretion; (F) lease all or any portion of the Equipment on such
terms and conditions as Lender in its reasonable discretion may determine; or
(G) enforce all rights to payment with respect to any and all Collateral. In
addition to all other sums due Lender hereunder, Borrowers shall pay Lender all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and court costs, in obtaining or liquidating the Collateral, in
enforcing payment of the Loan, or in the prosecution or defense of any action or
proceeding by or against Lender or Borrowers concerning any matter arising out
of or connected with the Loan Documents, the Collateral or the Loan, including
without limitation any of the foregoing arising in, arising under or related to
a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code.
(iii) Borrowers' Waivers Regarding Disposition of the
Equipment. If an Event of Default occurs, Borrowers agree that any requirement
of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is personally served on or
mailed, postage prepaid, to Borrowers in accordance with the notice provisions
hereof at least ten (10) days before the time of sale or other event giving rise
to the requirement of such notice. Lender shall not be obligated to make any
sale or other disposition of the Equipment regardless of notice having been
given. Lender may be the purchaser at any such public sale. Lender may postpone
or cause the postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the Equipment by
announcement at the time and place of such sale, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which the sale was rescheduled.
None of Lender's rights or remedies hereunder are intended to be exclusive of,
but each shall be cumulative and in addition to, any other right or remedy
referred to hereunder or otherwise available to Lender or its assigns at law or
in equity, and may be pursued singly, successively or concurrently at the sole
discretion of Lender and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall
occur. The failure to exercise, or any delay in the exercise of, any right or
remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver, release or exhaustion of any
such remedies. No express or implied waiver by Lender of any Event of Default
shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default or a waiver of any of
Lender's rights upon the reoccurrence of any such Event of Default.
(c) Borrowers hereby authorize Lender, upon the occurrence and
during the continuation of any Event of Default hereunder, at Lender's option to
adjust, compromise and settle any losses under any insurance afforded under the
Loan Documents, and Borrowers do hereby irrevocably constitute Lender and each
of its designees, as its attorneys-in-fact, with full power and authority, upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default hereunder, to
effect such adjustment, compromise and/or settlement and to endorse any drafts
drawn by an insurer of the Equipment or any part thereof and to do everything
necessary to carry out such purposes and to receive and receipt for any unearned
premiums due under policies of such insurance; but unless Lender elects to
adjust, compromise or settle losses as aforesaid, such insurance proceeds shall
be subject to the Lien and security interest of Lender hereunder.
(d) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuation, of an
Event of Default hereunder, (i) any proceeds of any Collateral shall be applied
in accordance with the Note and/or Preferred Marine Mortgages, and (ii) any
other amounts received by Lender in respect of the Loan may be applied first to
costs of collection and thereafter, in reduction of Borrowers' Obligations in
respect of the Loan, in such order and manner as Lender may direct in its sole
discretion, and Borrowers irrevocably waive the right to direct the application
of such amounts and agrees that Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive
right to apply any and all such amounts in Lender's sole discretion,
notwithstanding any entry to the contrary upon any of its books and records.
Borrowers shall remain liable to Lender with respect to any deficiency remaining
with respect to the Loan after application of such proceeds and other amounts in
accordance with the Loan Documents, and any surplus remaining after such
application shall be paid over to Borrowers or to whomsoever may be entitled

19. More than One Borrower. The obligations of Maritrans Inc.
("Maritrans"), Xxxxxxxxx 000 Xx. ("000 Xx."), and Maritrans Intrepid Co.
("Intrepid Co.") are joint and several. Each reference to the term "Borrower"
shall be deemed to refer to each of Maritrans, 250 Co. and Intrepid Co.; each
representation and warranty made by Borrower shall be deemed to have been made
by each such party; each covenant and undertaking on the part of Borrower shall
be determined individually and applied with respect to each such party; and each
event constituting a Default under this Agreement shall be determined with
respect to each such party. A separate action or actions may be brought and
prosecuted against any such party whether an action is brought against any other
party or whether any other party is joined in any such action or actions. Each

party; (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any other party; or

as an hypothecation of property as security therefor, each Borrower represents
and warrants that: (x) no representation has been made to it as to the
creditworthiness of any other obligor, and (y) it has established adequate means
of obtaining from each other obligor on a continuing basis, financial or other
information pertaining to each other obligor's financial condition. Each
Borrower expressly waives diligence, demand, presentment, protest and notice of
every kind and nature whatsoever, or the alteration or release in any manner of
any security now or hereafter held in connection with any obligations now or
hereafter secured by this Agreement. Should any default by made in the payment
of any such obligations or in the terms or conditions of any security held,
Lender is hereby expressly given the right, at its option, to proceed in the
enforcement of this Agreement independently of any other remedy or security it
may at any time hold in connection with such obligations secured and it shall
not be necessary for Lender to proceed upon or against and/or exhaust any other
security or remedy before proceeding to enforce its rights against any Borrower.
Each Borrower further waives any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution, indemnification, setoff or other recourse in respect
to sums paid to Lender by any Borrower.
20. Miscellaneous. Time is of the essence with respect to this
Agreement. Any failure of Lender to require strict performance by Borrower or
any waiver by Lender of any provision herein shall not be construed as a
12
consent or waiver of any provision of this Agreement. None of the Loan Documents
may be amended except by a writing signed by Lender and Borrowers. This
Agreement will be binding upon Lender only if executed by a duly authorized
officer or representative of Lender. This Agreement, and all other Loan
Documents to which Borrowers are or are to become a party, shall be executed on
Borrowers' behalf by Authorized Signers of Borrowers. Borrowers hereby waive
presentment, notice of dishonor and protest of all instruments included in or
evidencing any of the Loans, and all other notices and demands whatsoever
(except as expressly provided herein). The Loan Documents shall be governed by,
and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York
without regard to the conflict of laws principles of such state, including all
matters of construction, validity and performance.
21. Jury Trial Waiver. LENDER AND BORROWERS HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY
IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO WHICH LENDER OR BORROWERS MAY BE PARTIES ARISING
OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY PERTAINING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR SECURED OBLIGATIONS.
THIS WAIVER IS MADE KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY LENDER AND BORROWERS
WHO EACH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE BY ANY INDIVIDUAL TO
INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR IN ANY WAY TO MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS
EFFECT.
22. Interpretation. In the event that any term or condition of the Note
conflicts with or is inconsistent with any term or condition of this Loan
Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Note shall prevail. In the event that
any term or condition of the Preferred Marine Mortgages conflicts with or is
inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement, the terms and
conditions of the Preferred Marine Mortgages shall prevail.
23. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
collectively constitute the entire understanding or agreement between Lender and
Borrower with respect to the financing of the Equipment, and there is no
understanding or agreement, oral or written, which is not set forth herein or
therein.
24. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.
