10. ENFORCEMENT OF TRANSACTION SECURITY

10.1 Instructions to enforce

(a) If either the Majority Credit Facility Lenders or the Majority Pari Passu Creditors wish to issue Enforcement Instructions, the Creditor Representatives representing the Primary Creditors comprising the Majority Credit Facility Lenders or Majority Pari Passu Creditors (as the case may be) shall deliver a copy of those proposed Enforcement Instructions (an Initial Enforcement Notice) to the Security Agent. A copy of the proposed Enforcement Instructions must be delivered by that Creditor Representative to each other Creditor Representative at least 5 (five) Business Days prior to being sent to the Security Agent.

(b) The delivery of an Initial Enforcement Notice to the Security Agent shall commence a ten day consultation period (or such shorter period as the relevant Creditor Representatives may agree and as notified by the relevant Creditor Representative to the Security Agent) (the Initial Consultation Period) during which time the relevant Creditor Representatives shall consult with each other in good faith with a view to coordinating the proposed Enforcement Instructions (whilst keeping the Security Agent informed of such consultation and co-ordination efforts and the role that the Security Agent would be required to play in such Enforcement).

(c) There shall be no requirement to adhere to the Initial Consultation Period if paragraphs (f) or (g) below, apply.

(d) If, following the Initial Consultation Period, and subject to paragraphs (e), (f) and (g) below, the Security Agent has not received consistent Enforcement Instructions from both the Creditor Representatives for the Majority Credit Facility Lenders and the Majority Pari Passu Creditors the Security Agent will act in accordance with Enforcement Instructions received from the Majority Pari Passu Creditors.

(e) If:

(i) the Majority Pari Passu Creditors has not either:

(A) made a determination as to the method of Enforcement they wish to instruct the Security Agent to pursue (and notified the Security Agent of that determination in writing) (and for the avoidance of doubt instructions not to enforce shall not constitute a determination as to the method of Enforcement); or

(B) appointed a Financial Adviser to assist them in making such a determination,

within 3 (three) months of the date of the end of the Initial Consultation Period; or

(ii) the Credit Facility Lender Discharge Date has not occurred within 6 (six) months of the date of the end of the Initial Consultation Period,

then the Security Agent will act in accordance with Enforcement Instructions received from the Majority Credit Facility Lenders until the Credit Facility Lender Discharge Date has occurred.

(g) If the Majority Pari Passu Creditors have not either:

30

(i) made a determination as to the method of Enforcement they wish to instruct the Security Agent to pursue (and notified the Security Agent of that determination in writing) (and for the avoidance of doubt instructions not to enforce shall not constitute a determination as to the method of Enforcement); or

(ii) appointed a Financial Adviser to assist them in making such a determination,

and the Majority Credit Facility Lenders:

(A) determine in good faith (and notify the other Creditor Representatives and the Security Agent) that a delay in issuing Enforcement Instructions could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability to effect a Distressed Disposal or on the expected realisation proceeds of any Enforcement; and

(B) deliver Enforcement Instructions which they reasonably believe to be consistent with the Enforcement Principles and necessary or advisable to enhance the prospects of achieving the Enforcement Objective before the Security Agent has received any Enforcement Instructions from the Majority Pari Passu Creditors,

then the Security Agent will act in accordance with the Enforcement Instructions received from the Majority Credit Facility Lenders until the Credit Facility Lender Discharge Date has occurred.

10.2 Enforcement Instructions

(a) The Security Agent may refrain from enforcing the Transaction Security or taking any other action as to Enforcement unless instructed otherwise by the Instructing Group.

(b) Subject to Clause 10.1 (Instructions to enforce) and to the Transaction Security having become enforceable in accordance with its terms, the Instructing Group may give or refrain from giving instructions to the Security Agent to take action as to Enforcement in accordance with the Enforcement Principles as they see fit by way of the issuance of Enforcement Instructions.

(c) The Instructing Group shall provide Enforcement Instructions that are consistent with the Enforcement Principles.

(d) The Security Agent is entitled to rely on and comply with instructions given in accordance with this Clause 10.2.

10.3 Manner of enforcement

If the Transaction Security is being enforced or other action as to Enforcement is being taken pursuant to Clause 10.2 (Enforcement Instructions), the Security Agent shall enforce the Transaction Security or take other action as to Enforcement in such manner (including, without limitation, the selection of any administrator (or any analogous officer in any jurisdiction) of any Debtor to be appointed by the Security Agent) as the Instructing Group shall instruct.

10.4 Exercise of voting rights

(a) Subject to paragraph (c) below, each Creditor (other than each Creditor Representative and each Arranger) will cast its vote in any proposal put to the vote by or under the supervision of any judicial or supervisory authority in respect of any insolvency, pre-insolvency or rehabilitation or similar proceedings relating to any member of the Group as instructed by the Security Agent.

31

(b) Subject to paragraph (c) below, the Security Agent shall give instructions for the purposes of paragraph (a) above in accordance with any instructions given to it by the Instructing Group provided that any such instructions have been given in accordance with Clause 10.2 (Enforcement Instructions).

(c) Nothing in this Clause 10.4 entitles any party to exercise or require any other Primary Creditor to exercise such power of voting or representation to waive, reduce, discharge, extend the due date for (or change the basis for accrual of any) payment of or reschedule any of the Liabilities owed to that Primary Creditor.

10.5 Waiver of rights

To the extent permitted under applicable law and subject to Clause 10.2 (Enforcement Instructions), Clause 10.3 (Manner of enforcement), Clause 12.2 (Proceeds of Distressed Disposals and Debt Disposals), Clause 12.3 (Fair value) and Clause 15 (Application of Proceeds), each of the Secured Parties and the Debtors waives all rights it may otherwise have to require that the Transaction Security be enforced in any particular order or manner or at any particular time or that any amount received or recovered from any person, or by virtue of the enforcement of any of the Transaction Security or of any other security interest, which is capable of being applied in or towards discharge of any of the Secured Obligations is so applied.

10.6 Duties owed

Each of the Secured Parties and the Debtors acknowledges that, in the event that the Security Agent enforces or is instructed to enforce the Transaction Security, the duties of the Security Agent and of any Receiver or Delegate owed to them in respect of the method, type and timing of that enforcement or of the exploitation, management or realisation of any of that Transaction Security shall, subject to Clause 12.2 (Proceeds of Distressed Disposals and Debt Disposals) and Clause 12.3 (Fair value), be no different to or greater than the duty that is owed by the Security Agent, Receiver or Delegate to the Debtors under general law.

10.7 Enforcement through Security Agent only

The Secured Parties shall not have any independent power to enforce, or have recourse to, any of the Transaction Security or to exercise any right, power, authority or discretion arising under the Transaction Security Documents except through the Security Agent. Instructions as to Enforcement may only be given by the Instructing Group in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

10.8 Alternative Enforcement Actions

After the Security Agent has commenced Enforcement, it shall not accept any subsequent instructions as to Enforcement (save in the case where paragraph (e) of Clause 10.1 (Instructions to enforce) applies) from anyone other than the Instructing Group that instructed it to commence such enforcement of the Transaction Security, regarding any other enforcement of the Transaction Security over or relating to shares or assets directly or indirectly the subject of the enforcement of the Transaction Security which has been commenced (and, for the avoidance of doubt, concerning any enforcement of the Transaction Security only paragraph (b) of the definition of Instructing Group shall be applicable in relation to any instructions as to Enforcement given to the Security Agent by the Instructing Group under this Agreement).

Each Creditor and Debtor will:

(a) do all things that the Security Agent requests in order to give effect to Clause 11 (Non-Distressed Disposals) and Clause 12 (Distressed Disposals) (which shall include, without limitation, the execution of any assignments, transfers, releases or other documents that may be necessary to give effect to the releases or disposals contemplated by those Clauses); and

(b) if the Security Agent is not entitled to take any of the actions contemplated by those Clauses or if the Security Agent requests that any Creditor or Debtor take any such action, take that action itself in accordance with the instructions of the Security Agent,

provided that the proceeds of those disposals are applied in accordance with Clause 11 (Non-Distressed Disposals) or Clause 12 (Distressed Disposals) as the case may be.

14. NON-CASH RECOVERIES

14.1 Security Agent and Non-Cash Recoveries

To the extent the Security Agent receives or recovers any Non-Cash Recoveries, it shall (acting on the instructions of the Instructing Group) but without prejudice to its ability to exercise discretion under Clause 15.2 (Prospective liabilities):

(a) distribute those Non-Cash Recoveries pursuant to Clause 15 (Application of Proceeds) as if they were Cash Proceeds;

(b) hold, manage, exploit, collect, realise and dispose of those Non-Cash Recoveries; and

(c) hold, manage, exploit, collect, realise and distribute any resulting Cash Proceeds.

14.2 Cash value of Non-Cash Recoveries

(a) The cash value of any Non-Cash Recoveries shall be determined by reference to a valuation obtained by the Security Agent from a Financial Adviser appointed by the Security Agent pursuant to Clause 12.6 (Appointment of Financial Adviser) taking into account any notional conversion made pursuant to Clause 15.4 (Currency conversion).

(b) If any Non-Cash Recoveries are distributed pursuant to Clause 15 (Application of Proceeds), the extent to which such distribution is treated as discharging the Liabilities shall be determined by reference to the cash value of those Non-Cash Recoveries determined pursuant to paragraph (a) above.

14.3 Facility Agents and Non-Cash Recoveries

(a) Subject to paragraph (b) below and to Clause 14.4 (Alternative to Non-Cash Consideration), if, pursuant to Clause 15.1 (Order of application), a Creditor Representative receives Non-Cash Recoveries for application towards the discharge of any Liabilities, that Creditor Representative shall apply those Non-Cash Recoveries in accordance with the relevant Debt Document as if they were Cash Proceeds.

40

(b) A Creditor Representative may:

(i) use any reasonably suitable method of distribution, as it may determine in its discretion, to distribute those Non-Cash Recoveries in the order of priority that would apply under the relevant Debt Document if those Non-Cash Recoveries were Cash Proceeds;

(ii) hold any Non-Cash Recoveries through another person; and

(iii) hold any amount of Non-Cash Recoveries for so long as that Creditor Representative shall think fit for later application pursuant to paragraph (a) above.

14.4 Alternative to Non-Cash Consideration

(a) If any Non-Cash Recoveries are to be distributed pursuant to Clause 15 (Application of Proceeds), the Security Agent shall (prior to that distribution and taking into account the Liabilities then outstanding and the cash value of those Non-Cash Recoveries) notify each Creditor Representative entitled to receive those Non-Cash Recoveries on behalf and for the benefit of their applicable Primary Creditors pursuant to that distribution (the Entitled Creditors).

(b) If:

(i) it would be unlawful for an Entitled Creditor to receive such Non-Cash Recoveries (or it would otherwise conflict with that Entitled Creditor’s constitutional documents for it to do so); and

(ii) that Entitled Creditor promptly so notifies the Security Agent and supplies such supporting evidence as the Security Agent may reasonably require,

that Primary Creditor shall be a Cash Only Creditor and the Non-Cash Recoveries to which it is entitled shall be Retained Non-Cash.

(c) To the extent that, in relation to any distribution of Non-Cash Recoveries, there is a Cash Only Creditor:

(i) the Security Agent shall not distribute any Retained Non-Cash to that Cash Only Creditor (or to any Creditor Representative on behalf of that Cash Only Creditor) but shall otherwise treat the Non-Cash Recoveries in accordance with this Agreement;

(ii) the Security Agent shall notify the relevant Creditor Representative of that Cash Only Creditor’s identity and its status as a Cash Only Creditor; and

(iii) to the extent notified pursuant to paragraph (ii) above, no Creditor Representative shall distribute any of those Non-Cash Recoveries to that Cash Only Creditor.

(d) Subject to Clause 14.5 (Security Agent protection), the Security Agent shall hold any Retained Non-Cash and shall, acting on the instructions of the Cash Only Creditor entitled to it, manage, exploit, collect, realise and dispose of that Retained Non-Cash for cash consideration and shall distribute any Cash Proceeds of that Retained Non-Cash to that Cash Only Creditor in accordance with Clause 15 (Application of Proceeds).

41

(e) On any such distribution of Cash Proceeds which are attributable to a disposal of any Retained Non-Cash, the extent to which such distribution is treated as discharging the Liabilities due to the relevant Cash Only Creditor shall be determined by reference to:

(i) the valuation which determined the extent to which the distribution of the Non-Cash Recoveries to the other Entitled Creditors discharged the Liabilities due to those Entitled Creditors; and

(ii) the Retained Non-Cash to which those Cash Proceeds are attributable.

(f) Each Primary Creditor shall, following a request by the Security Agent (acting in accordance with Clause 12.7 (Security Agent’s actions)), notify the Security Agent of the extent to which paragraph (b)(i) above would apply to it in relation to any distribution or proposed distribution of Non-Cash Recoveries. Absent written notice to the contrary from a Creditor, the Security Agent shall be entitled to conclusively assume that no Creditor is a Cash Only Creditor.

14.5 Security Agent protection

(a) No Distressed Disposal or Liabilities Sale may be made in whole or part for Non-Cash Consideration if the Security Agent in its sole discretion believes that its receiving, distributing, holding, managing, exploiting, collecting, realising or disposing of that Non-Cash Consideration may have an adverse effect on it.

(b) If Non-Cash Consideration is distributed to the Security Agent under this Agreement, including without limitation, pursuant to Clause 8.2 (Turnover by the Primary Creditors) or Clause 8.3 (Turnover by the other Creditors) the Security Agent may, at any time after notifying the Creditors entitled to that Non-Cash Consideration and notwithstanding any instruction from a Creditor or group of Creditors pursuant to the terms of any Debt Document, immediately realise and dispose of that Non-Cash Consideration for cash consideration (and distribute any Cash Proceeds of that Non-Cash Consideration to the relevant Creditors in accordance with Clause 15 (Application of Proceeds)) if the Security Agent in its sole discretion believes that holding, managing, exploiting or collecting that Non-Cash Consideration may have an adverse effect on it.

(c) If the Security Agent holds Retained Non-Cash for a Cash Only Creditor (each as defined in Clause 14.4 (Alternative to Non-Cash Consideration)) the Security Agent may at any time, after notifying that Cash Only Creditor and notwithstanding any instruction from a Creditor or group of Creditors pursuant to the terms of any Debt Document, immediately realise and dispose of that Retained Non-Cash for cash consideration (and distribute any Cash Proceeds of that Retained Non-Cash to that Cash Only Creditor in accordance with Clause 15 (Application of Proceeds)) if the Security Agent in its sole discretion believes that holding, managing, exploiting or collecting that Retained Non-Cash may have an adverse effect on it.

(b) If the Security Agent receives proceeds of the Security Property prior to an Acceleration Event and an Officer of the Parent certifies that:

(i) the payment of the proceeds (or part thereof) into the Collateral Account is expressly permitted under this Agreement, the Credit Facility Documents and the Pari Passu Debt Documents; and

(ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,

the proceeds (or part thereof) shall be paid into the Collateral Account.

15.4 Currency conversion

(a) For the purpose of, or pending the discharge of, any of the Secured Obligations the Security Agent or its agent may:

(i) convert any moneys received or recovered by the Security Agent (including, without limitation, any cash proceeds) from one currency to another, at the Spot Rate of Exchange; and

(ii) notionally convert the valuation provided in any opinion or valuation from one currency to another, at the Spot Rate of Exchange.

(b) The obligations of any Debtor to pay in the due currency shall only be satisfied:

44

15.5 Permitted Deductions

The Security Agent shall be entitled, in its discretion, (a) to set aside by way of reserve amounts required to meet and (b) to make and pay, any deductions and withholdings (on account of Taxes or otherwise) which it is or may be required by any law or regulation to make from any distribution or payment made by it under this Agreement, and to pay all Taxes which may be assessed against it in respect of any of the Charged Property, or as a consequence of performing its duties or exercising its rights, powers, authorities and discretions, or by virtue of its capacity as Security Agent under any of the Debt Documents or otherwise (other than in connection with its remuneration for performing its duties under this Agreement).

15.6 Good Discharge

(b) notionally convert the Liabilities owed to any person into a common base currency, that notional conversion to be made at the then prevailing rate at which the Security Agent or its agent is able to purchase the notional base currency with the actual currency of the Liabilities owed to that person at the time at which that calculation is to be made; and

(c) assume that all amounts received or recovered as a result of the enforcement or realisation of the Security Property are applied in discharge of the Liabilities in accordance with the terms of the Debt Documents under which those Liabilities have arisen.

16. EQUALISATION

16.1 Equalisation Definitions

For the purposes of this Clause 16:

Enforcement Date means the first date (if any) on which a Credit Facility Creditor takes enforcement action of the type described in paragraphs (a)(i), (a)(iii), (a)(iv) or (c) of the definition of Enforcement Action in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Exposure means in relation to a Credit Facility Lender, the aggregate amount of its participation (if any, and without double counting) in all Utilisations outstanding under the Credit Facility Agreements at the Enforcement Date (assuming all contingent liabilities which have become actual liabilities since the Enforcement Date to have been actual liabilities at the Enforcement Date (but not

45

including, for these purposes only, any interest that would have accrued from the Enforcement Date to the date of actual maturity in respect of those liabilities) and assuming any transfer of claims between Credit Facility Lenders pursuant to any loss-sharing arrangement in the Credit Facility Agreements which has taken place since the Enforcement Date to have taken place at the Enforcement Date) together with the aggregate amount of all accrued interest, fees and commission owed to it under the Credit Facility Agreement; and

Utilisation means a “utilisation” (however defined) of a facility under the Initial Term Facility Agreement or the relevant Credit Facility Document.

16.2 Equalisation

If, for any reason, any Credit Facility Liabilities remain unpaid after the Enforcement Date and the resulting losses are not borne by the Credit Facility Lenders in the proportions which their respective Exposures at the Enforcement Date bore to the aggregate Exposures of all the Credit Facility Lenders at the Enforcement Date, the Credit Facility Lenders will make such payments amongst themselves to put the Credit Facility Lenders in such a position that (after taking into account such payments) those losses are borne in those proportions.

16.3 Turnover of enforcement proceeds

If:

(a) the Security Agent or a Creditor Representative is not entitled, for reasons of applicable law, to pay or distribute amounts received pursuant to the making of a demand under any guarantee, indemnity or other assurance against loss or the enforcement of the Transaction Security to the relevant Credit Facility Creditors but is entitled to pay or distribute those amounts to Creditors (such Creditors, the Receiving Creditors) who, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, are subordinated in right and priority of payment to the relevant Credit Facility Creditors; and

(b) the Credit Facility Lender Discharge Date has not yet occurred (nor would occur after taking into account such payments),

then the Receiving Creditors shall make such payments or distributions to the relevant Credit Facility Creditors to place the relevant Credit Facility Creditors in the position they would have been in had such amounts been available for application against the Credit Facility Liabilities.

16.4 Notification of Exposure

Before each occasion on which the provisions of this Clause 16 shall be implemented, the relevant Creditor Representative shall send notice to the Credit Facility Lenders notifying them of the Exposure of each Credit Facility Lender (if any).

16.5 Default in payment

If a Credit Facility Creditor fails to make a payment due from it under this Clause 16, the relevant Creditor Representative for such Credit Facility Creditor(s) shall be entitled (but not obliged) to take action on behalf of the Credit Facility Creditor(s) to whom such payment was to be redistributed (subject to being indemnified to its satisfaction by such Credit Facility Creditor(s) in respect of costs) but shall have no liability or obligation towards such Credit Facility Creditor(s) or any other Primary Creditor as regards such default in payment and any loss suffered as a result of such default shall lie where it falls.

46

17. QUIET ENJOYMENT

(a) Prior to the Term Lender Discharge Date, if so requested by the Parent on not less than five days’ notice, in relation to any new charter or extension to an Approved Charter or in relation to an existing charter for any Additional Vessel (each as defined in the Initial Term Facility Agreement), the Primary Creditors authorise and instruct the Security Agent, without further consent from the Primary Creditors, to enter into a quiet enjoyment letter in favour of the relevant charterer on the following terms:

(i) the Parent will only request that the Security Agent enter into a quiet enjoyment letter in relation to any new charter or extension to an Approved Charter or in relation to an existing charter for any Additional Vessel (each as defined in the Initial Term Facility Agreement), if specifically requested to do so by the charterer as a condition to entry into the relevant charter or charter extension;

(ii) if required by the charterer to enter into a quiet enjoyment letter, the Parent will use its reasonable commercial efforts to agree a quiet enjoyment letter in the form attached as Part 2 of Schedule 6, or if it cannot be agreed in its entirety, to agree a form of quiet enjoyment letter containing as many of the elements of such form as possible; and

(iii) if the Parent is unable, by using its reasonable commercial efforts, to agree a quiet enjoyment agreement in the in the form attached as Part 2 of Schedule 6, the Primary Creditors authorise the Security Agent, upon the Parent’s request, to enter into a quiet enjoyment letter in the form attached as Part 1 of Schedule 6 or in such other form that an officer of the Parent confirms in writing to the Security Agent is no less favourable to the interests of the Primary Creditors than the form attached as Part 1 of Schedule 6.

(b) After the Term Lender Discharge Date, the Primary Creditors authorise the Security Agent, and the Security Agent is required, upon the Parent’s request and if so requested by the charterer, to enter into a quiet enjoyment letter in the form attached as Part 1 of Schedule 6 or in such other form as the Parent certifies to the Senior Secured Note Trustee and Security Agent is not materially less favourable to the Primary Creditors (as determined in good faith by the Parent).

18. THE SECURITY AGENT

18.1 Security Agent as trustee

(a) Unless expressly provided to the contrary in any Debt Document, the Security Agent declares that it holds the Security Property on trust for the Secured Parties on the terms contained in this Agreement.

(b) The Security Agent does not hold any Security Property governed by Dutch law on trust for the Secured Parties.

(c) Each of the Primary Creditors authorises the Security Agent to perform the duties, obligations and responsibilities and to exercise the rights, powers, authorities and discretions specifically given to the Security Agent under or in connection with the Debt Documents together with any other incidental rights, powers, authorities and discretions.

(d) Every provision of this Agreement or any related document relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Security Agent shall be subject to the provisions of this Clause 18.

47

18.2 Parallel debt

(a) Each of the Debtors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees and undertakes with the Security Agent and each Secured Party acknowledges that each of the Debtors shall pay to the Security Agent as creditor in its own right and not as a representative of any other Secured Party sums equal to, and in the currency of, any sums owing from time to time by it to any Secured Party (other than to the Security Agent solely by operation of this provision) under any Primary Finance Documents (the Principal Obligations) as and when the same fall due for payment under the relevant Primary Finance Document (together with the obligations described in paragraph (g) below, the Parallel Debt Obligations).

(b) Each of the Debtors and each Secured Party (other than the Security Agent) acknowledges that the right of the Security Agent to demand payment of the Parallel Debt Obligations shall be independent, separate and several from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the rights of the other Secured Parties to demand payment of the Principal Obligations nor shall the Parallel Debt Obligations be limited or affected in any way by the corresponding Principal Obligations provided that (i) the aggregate amount of the Parallel Debt Obligations will never exceed the aggregate amount of the Principal Obligations, (ii) the payment by a Debtor of its Parallel Debt Obligations to the Security Agent in accordance with this Clause 18.2 shall also discharge (in the amount of the relevant payment) the corresponding Principal Obligations and (iii) the payment by a Debtor of its Principal Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Primary Finance Documents shall also discharge (in the amount of the relevant payment) the corresponding Parallel Debt Obligations provided further that no Principal Obligation shall be discharged by a discharge of the Parallel Debt Obligations if such discharge of the Parallel Debt Obligations is effected by virtue of any set-off, counterclaim or similar defence invoked by a Debtor vis-à-vis the Security Agent other than in accordance with the terms of the Primary Finance Documents.

(c) Despite the foregoing, any payment under the Primary Finance Documents shall be made to the relevant Creditor Representative unless expressly stated otherwise in any Primary Finance Document or unless the relevant Creditor Representative directs such payment to be made to the Security Agent.

(d) Without limiting or affecting the Security Agent’s rights against any Debtor (whether under this Clause 18.2 or under any provision of the Primary Finance Documents):

(i) the Security Agent agrees with each other Secured Party (on a several and divided basis) that it will not exercise its rights under the Parallel Debt Obligations in respect of the Principal Obligations owing to a Secured Party except with the consent of the Instructing Group. However, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the previous sentence shall in any way limit the Security Agent’s right to act in the protection or preservation of rights under any Transaction Security Document or to enforce any Transaction Security as contemplated by this Agreement, the relevant Transaction Security Document or any other Primary Finance Document (or to do any act reasonably incidental to the foregoing);

(ii) each Debtor acknowledges that (A) nothing in this Clause 18 shall impose any obligation on the Security Agent to advance any sum to any Debtor or otherwise under any Primary Finance Document, except in its capacity as a Secured Party (if applicable and other than as Security Agent) under any Primary Finance Document in accordance with the terms thereof, and (B) for the purpose of any vote taken under any Primary Finance Document, the Security Agent shall not be regarded as having any participation or commitment other than those which it has in its capacity as a Secured Party (if applicable and other than as Security Agent) under any Primary Finance Document in accordance with the terms thereof.

48

(e) The Security Agent acts in its own name (in its capacity as Security Agent hereunder) and not as a trustee, and its claims in respect of the Parallel Debt Obligations shall not be held on trust. The Transaction Security granted under the Primary Finance Documents to the Security Agent to secure the Parallel Debt Obligations is granted to the Security Agent in its capacity as creditor of the Parallel Debt Obligations and shall not be held on trust.

(f) The Security Agent may enforce performance of any Parallel Debt Obligation in its own name as an independent and separate right. This includes any suit, execution, enforcement of security, recovery of guarantees and applications for and voting in respect of any kind of insolvency proceeding.

(g) An amount payable in respect of the Parallel Debt Obligations will be payable in the currency or currencies of the relevant Principal Obligations and will become due and payable as and when the Principal Obligations to which it corresponds becomes due and payable. A default (verzuim) within the meaning of section 3:248 of the Dutch Civil Code with respect to Principal Obligations shall also constitute a default (verzuim) within the meaning of section 3:248 of the Dutch Civil Code with respect to the relevant Parallel Debt Obligations without any notice being required.

(h) The Security Agent undertakes to pay to the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement any amount collected or received by it in payment or partial payment of the Parallel Debt Obligations as if such amounts had been received in respect of the Principal Obligations. If the Security Agent returns to any Debtor, whether in any kind of insolvency proceedings or otherwise, any recovery in respect of which it has made a payment to a Secured Party, that Secured Party must repay an amount equal to that recovery to the Security Agent.

(i) Each Secured Party shall, at the request of the Security Agent:

(i) do anything required in connection with the enforcement of any Parallel Obligations (including joining in any proceedings as co-claimant with the Security Agent); and

(ii) enforce any Principal Obligations.

(j) Each Debtor irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to require a Secured Party to join in any proceedings as co-claimant with the Security Agent in respect of any Parallel Obligations.

18.3 Instructions

(a) The Security Agent shall:

(i) subject to paragraphs (d) and (e) below, exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion vested in it as Security Agent, or as holder of a claim pursuant to any Parallel Obligation, in accordance with any instructions given to it by the Instructing Group; and

(ii) not be liable for any act (or omission) if it acts (or refrains from acting) in accordance with paragraph (i) above (or, if this Agreement stipulates the matter is a decision for any other Creditor or group of Creditors, in accordance with instructions given to it by that Creditor or group of Creditors).

(b) The Security Agent shall be entitled to request instructions, or clarification of any instruction, from the Instructing Group (or, if this Agreement stipulates the matter is a decision for any other Creditor or group of Creditors, from that Creditor or group of Creditors) as to whether, and in what manner, it should exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion and the Security Agent may refrain from acting unless and until it receives those instructions or that clarification.

49

(c) Save in the case of decisions stipulated to be a matter for any other Creditor or group of Creditors under this Agreement and unless a contrary intention appears in this Agreement, any instructions given to the Security Agent by the Instructing Group shall override any conflicting instructions given by any other Parties and will be binding on all Secured Parties.

(d) Paragraph (a) above shall not apply:

(i) where a contrary indication appears in this Agreement;

(ii) where this Agreement expressly requires the Security Agent to act in a specified manner or to take a specified action without the instructions of the Instructing Group;

(iii) in respect of any provision which protects the Security Agent’s own position in its personal capacity as opposed to its role of Security Agent for the Secured Parties including, without limitation, Clauses 18.6 (No duty to account) to Clause 18.11 (Exclusion of liability), Clause 18.14 (Confidentiality) to Clause 18.21 (Custodians and nominees) and Clause 18.24 (Acceptance of title) to Clause 18.27 (Disapplication of Trustee Acts);

(iv) in respect of the exercise of the Security Agent’s discretion to exercise a right, power or authority under any of:

(A) Clause 11 (Non-Distressed Disposals);

(B) Clause 15.1 (Order of application);

(C) Clause 15.2 (Prospective liabilities); and

(D) Clause 15.5 (Permitted Deductions).

(e) If giving effect to instructions given by the Instructing Group would (in the Security Agent’s good faith opinion) have an effect equivalent to an Intercreditor Amendment, the Security Agent shall not act in accordance with those instructions unless consent to those instructions is obtained from each Party (other than the Security Agent) whose consent would have been required in respect of that Intercreditor Amendment.

(f) With respect to any obligation of the Security Agent that is contained in both the Pari Passu Debt Documents and the Credit Facility Documents (including, without limitation, Schedule 14 (Notes Restrictive Covenants) to the Initial Term Facility Credit Agreement), a Debtor will not exercise any right to give direction or instruction to the Security Agent with respect to such obligation, unless it is authorized and permitted to give such direction or instruction (together with any deliverables required to be delivered to the Security Agent pursuant thereto) under both the Pari Passu Debt Documents and the Credit Facility Documents (including, without limitation, Schedule 14 (Notes Restrictive Covenants) to the Initial Term Facility Credit Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, the Security Agent shall not be liable for monitoring the Debtors compliance with the foregoing covenant, and shall not be liable to any Person to the extent it acts or omits to act in accordance with any direction or instruction from a Debtor which may have been given in contravention of the foregoing covenant.

(g) In exercising any discretion to exercise a right, power or authority under the Debt Documents where either:

(i) it has not received any instructions as to the exercise of that discretion; or

(ii) the exercise of that discretion is subject to paragraph (d)(iv) above,the Security Agent shall do so having regard to the interests of all the Secured Parties.

50

(h) The Security Agent may refrain from acting in accordance with any instructions of any Creditor or group of Creditors until it has received any indemnification and/or security that it may in its discretion require (which may be greater in extent than that contained in the Debt Documents and which may include payment in advance) for any cost, loss or liability (together with any applicable VAT) which it may incur in complying with those instructions.

(i) Without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 10 (Enforcement of Transaction Security) and the remainder of this Clause 18.3, in the absence of instructions, the Security Agent may act (or refrain from acting) as it considers in its discretion to be appropriate.

18.4 Duties of the Security Agent

(b) The Security Agent shall promptly:

(i) forward to each Creditor Representative a copy of any document received by the Security Agent from any Debtor under any Debt Document; and

(ii) forward to a Party the original or a copy of any document which is delivered to the Security Agent for that Party by any other Party.

(c) Except where the Security Agent has expressly agreed otherwise, the Security Agent is not obliged to review or check the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any document it forwards to another Party.

(d) Without prejudice to Clause 23.3 (Notification of prescribed events), if the Security Agent receives notice from a Party referring to any Debt Document, describing a Default and stating that the circumstance described is a Default, it shall promptly notify the Creditor Representatives.

(f) The Security Agent shall have only those duties, obligations and responsibilities expressly specified in the Debt Documents to which it is a signatory (and no others shall be implied).

(g) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the right of the Security Agent to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement, the Debt Documents or any related document shall not be construed as a duty.

18.5 No fiduciary duties to Debtors

Nothing in this Agreement constitutes the Security Agent as an agent, trustee or fiduciary of any Debtor.

18.6 No duty to account

The Security Agent shall not be bound to account to any other Party for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account.

51

SCHEDULE 4

ENFORCEMENT PRINCIPLES

1. In this Schedule 4:

Enforcement Objective means maximising, to the extent consistent with a prompt and expeditious realisation of value, the recovery of the Credit Facility Creditors and, without prejudice to Clause 15 (Application of Proceeds), the Pari Passu Debt Creditors.

Fairness Opinion means, in respect of any Enforcement, an opinion from a Financial Adviser that the proceeds received or recovered in connection with that Enforcement are fair from a financial point of view taking into account all relevant circumstances and that such Enforcement is consistent with the Enforcement Objective (provided that the provider of such opinion may limit its liability in respect of that opinion to the amount of its fees in respect of such engagement).

Financial Adviser means any:

(a) independent internationally recognised investment bank;

(b) independent internationally recognised accountancy firm; or

(c) (with regard to the sale of vessels only) independent internationally recognised shipping broker.

2. It shall be the primary and over-riding aim of any Enforcement to achieve the Enforcement Objective. Any Enforcement shall be consistent with the Enforcement Objective.

3. Without prejudice to the Enforcement Objective, the Transaction Security will be enforced and other action as to Enforcement will be taken such that either:

(a) to the extent the Instructing Group is the Majority Credit Facility Lenders, all proceeds of Enforcement are received by the Security Agent in cash for distribution in accordance with Clause 15 (Application of Proceeds); or

(b) to the extent the Instructing Group is the Majority Pari Passu Creditors, either:

(i) all proceeds of enforcement are received by the Security Agent in cash for distribution in accordance with Clause 15 (Application of Proceeds); or

(ii) sufficient proceeds from Enforcement will be received by the Security Agent in cash to ensure that, when the proceeds are applied in accordance with Clause 15 (Application of Proceeds), the Credit Facility Lender Discharge Date will occur (unless the Majority Credit Facility Lenders agree otherwise).

4. Enforcement action must be prompt and expeditious and reasonably expected to realise proceeds from the assets subject to Enforcement within six months of receipt by the Security Agent of Enforcement Instructions.

5. On:

(a) a proposed Enforcement in relation to assets comprising Charged Property other than shares in a member of the Group over which Transaction Security exists, where the aggregate book value of such assets exceeds (US)$5,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency or currencies); or

90

(b) a proposed Enforcement in relation to Charged Property comprising some or all of the shares in a member of the Group over which Transaction Security exists,

which, in either case, is not being effected through a Public Auction, the Security Agent shall, if instructed by the Majority Credit Facility Lenders or the Majority Pari Passu Creditors, appoint a Financial Adviser selected by the Term Agent or Creditor Representative for the Credit Facility Lenders and the Creditor Representative for the Pari Passu Debt Creditors(or in the event of any conflict selected by an investment bank (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) nominated (on the application of the Security Agent) by the President for the time being of the Law Society of England and Wales (the costs of the nomination and of the investment bank being payable by the Parent) and the determination of any investment bank shall be final and binding upon the Parties and which may be a Credit Facility Lender or a relationship bank of a Debtor) to provide a Fairness Opinion in relation to that Enforcement, provided that the Security Agent shall not be required to appoint a Financial Adviser nor obtain a Fairness Opinion if a proposed Enforcement:

(i) would result in the receipt of sufficient Enforcement Proceeds in cash by the Security Agent to ensure that, after application in accordance with Clause 15 (Application of Proceeds):

(A) in the case of an Enforcement requested by the Majority Credit Facility Lenders, the Credit Facility Lender Discharge Date and the Pari Passu Debt Discharge Date would occur; or

(B) in the case of an Enforcement requested by the Majority Pari Passu Creditors, the Credit Facility Lender Discharge Date would occur,

(ii) is in accordance with any applicable law; and

(iii) complies with Clause 12 (Distressed Disposals).

6. The Security Agent shall be under no obligation to appoint a Financial Adviser or to seek the advice of a Financial Adviser unless expressly required to do so by this Schedule 4 or any other provision of this Agreement.

7. The Fairness Opinion will be conclusive evidence that the Enforcement Objective has been met.

(H) on the terms set out herein, the Mortgagee grants Charterers a right to quiet enjoyment in respect of the Vessel.

IN CONSIDERATION OF THE ENTRY INTO TIME CHARTER, THE CHARTERERS CONSENTING TO THE ASSIGNMENT OF THE TIME CHARTER TO THE MORTGAGEE AND OTHER GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION (RECEIPT AND SUFFICIENCY OF WHICH IS ACKNOWLEDGED), THE PARTIES AGREE THE FOLLOWING:

8. The:

(a) Mortgagee confirms that it has consented to the Owners’ execution of the Time Charter and approved the terms of the same, including but not limited to the Charterers’ right to quiet enjoyment in respect of the Vessel on the terms set out herein; and

(b) Charterers confirm that they have consented to the assignment by the Owners of all their rights, title and interest under the Time Charter to the Mortgagee.

9. The Mortgagee shall not at any time during the [Charter Period] (as defined in the Time Charter), without the Charterers’ prior written consent:

96

(a) exercise against the Vessel any rights that we may have in a manner which may prejudice or interfere with Charterers’ rights under the Time Charter (in particular, but without limitation, Charterers’ rights to the quiet use and enjoyment of the Vessel) in any way whatsoever; or

(b) take possession of the Vessel; or

(c) exercise any power of sale or other disposal of the Vessel which the Mortgagee may be entitled to or make any application for the sale of the Vessel or any share therein in any part of the world, whether by public auction or private treaty; or

(d) issue any arrest or similar proceedings against the Vessel in any jurisdiction other than any proceedings required to protect the Mortgagee’s rights under the mortgage or other Finance Documents referred to above in respect of the Vessel where third parties have commenced proceedings against the Owners or the Vessel (and always provided that the Mortgagee shall cease such actions promptly upon the relevant proceedings or application being dismissed or permanently stayed); or

(e) appoint a receiver in respect of the Vessel, take any step to wind up, liquidate, or place in administration or receivership, the Owners under the Time Charter nor commence or continue any analogous proceedings in any jurisdiction;

provided that the undertakings in this paragraph 2 shall not apply if (i) there has occurred and is continuing a material default by the Charterers of its obligations under the Time Charter or (ii) the Vessel has become an actual, agreed, or constructive total loss in which event the provisions of the Time Charter shall prevail as between Charterer and Owner.

10. The Charterers agree and accept that the undertakings contained in paragraph 2 above shall, at all times, be subject to the Step-in Rights (as such rights are conditioned and limited by the terms of this Deed) provided that the Time Charter as it may be amended and/or novated following exercise of the Step-in Rights, shall remain in full force and effect. For these purposes:

Eligible Person means a person having the technical capability, financial resources, and legal capacity to become a party to the Charter and to perform Owner’s obligations which is acceptable to the Charterers (acting reasonably).

Step-in Rights means any and all of the rights or powers of the Mortgagee under the mortgage or the other Finance Documents to:

(a) effect a change of ownership or sale of the Vessel whether by the arrest or the detention of the Vessel, taking actual or constructive possession of the Vessel or otherwise; or

(b) effect a change of management of the Vessel.

11. The Mortgagee acknowledges and agrees that any transfer of ownership or management of the Vessel pursuant to the exercise by us of the Step-in Rights shall only be to an Eligible Person and is conditional upon the transferee first agreeing to acknowledge and be bound by the terms of the Time Charter.

12. It is a condition precedent to the exercise by us of any Step-in Right that:

(a) an event entitling us to enforce the security constituted by the mortgage over the Vessel (such event, an “Owner Finance Default”) has occurred and is continuing;

97

(b) the Mortgagee has notified the Charterers of such Owner Finance Default in writing; and

(c) such Owner Finance Default has not been cured within any applicable remedy period.

13. Upon the Step-in Rights becoming exercisable by the Mortgagee, we shall provide thirty (30) days’ written notice to you of our intention to exercise such rights. Such notice shall contain reasonable detail of the action the Mortgagee proposes to take, including the identity of the Eligible Person to whom the ownership and/or management of the Vessel is to be transferred together with a certificate issued by the party exercising the Step-in Rights confirming that the Time Charter remains in full force and effect and is binding on that party.

14. Subject to, where applicable, the relevant event(s) entitling the Charterers to terminate the Time Charter having been cured to the Charterers’ satisfaction, the Charterers agree to enter into such novation agreement as may be necessary to effect the novation of Owner’s rights and obligations under the Charter to the Eligible Person.

15. The Mortgagee acknowledges that the terms of this letter shall ensue to the benefit of Charterers’ successors and assigns and to the benefit of any company or person whom the Charterers may designate as sub-charterers of the Vessel.

16. The parties warrants that this deed is valid, legally binding, enforceable and executed by persons who, in accordance with the laws of that territory, are acting under the authority of that party.

17. This deed and any non contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.

18. Any and all dispute arising out of or in connection with this deed shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English High Court.
