That, in consideration of the provisions of this Mortgage, of the sums

use and benefit forever;
2
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if Shipowner, its successors and permitted
assigns, shall fully perform and comply with, all of the terms, conditions,
representations, warranties, and covenants hereof, then this Mortgage shall
cease, otherwise to remain in full force and effect.
Shipowner further agrees, represents, and warrants as follows:
ARTICLE I.
COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SHIPOWNER
1. PAYMENT OF DEBT. Shipowner shall pay the Debt in accordance with the
provisions of the Loan Agreement and Swap Contracts, expressed or implied, on
its part to be observed, performed or complied with.
2. VALID MORTGAGE. Shipowner shall execute and deliver all other
documents and take all other actions Mortgagee deems necessary in order to
establish, perfect and maintain this Mortgage as a valid, enforceable, and duly
perfected first priority preferred mortgage lien on the Vessel.
3. VESSEL DOCUMENTATION. Shipowner shall not do, or suffer or permit to
be done, anything which can or may detrimentally affect the documentation of the
Vessel under the laws and regulations of the Republic of Panama ("Panama"), or
treaties to which it is a party. Shipowner satisfies and will continue to
satisfy the criteria required to document the Vessel under the laws of Panama.
The Vessel is eligible to be, is, and shall at all times remain duly documented
for the trades and registry applicable to the Vessel's current and future
operations and voyages. Shipowner shall not transfer or change the flag of
documentation or the name of the Vessel, including registering the Vessel under
a system of dual registry, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee (not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and no such written consent to any one
change shall be construed to be a waiver of this provision with respect to any
subsequent proposed change.
4. OWNERSHIP AND LIENS. Shipowner lawfully owns and is lawfully
possessed of 100% of the whole of the Vessel free from all liens, claims, or
other encumbrances whatsoever, whether of a maritime or non-maritime nature,
including, without limitation, claims of or liability to possession, forfeiture
or penalty, except Permitted Maritime Liens, as defined in the Loan Agreement
("Liens"). Except as otherwise provided herein, Shipowner warrants and shall
defend title to and possession of the Vessel and to every part thereof for the
benefit of Mortgagee against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever.
Without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, there shall not be granted or
incurred by any person any Lien thereon, and Shipowner shall not suffer the same
to be continued for any period of time whatsoever after they become due and
payable.
5. NOTICE OF MORTGAGE. Shipowner shall place and retain a properly
certified copy of this Mortgage on board the Vessel with its papers and shall
upon request cause such certified copy and such papers to be exhibited to all
persons having business with the Vessel which might give rise to any Lien
thereon, or the sale, mortgage, charter, or other transfer of the Vessel or any
interest therein, and to all representatives of Mortgagee on request. Shipowner
shall place and keep prominently displayed in the pilothouse on the Vessel a
conspicuous notice reading substantially as follows:
NOTICE OF MORTGAGE
This vessel is encumbered by a first preferred marine mortgage
dated December 4, 1998, in favor of KEYCORP LEASING, A
DIVISION OF
3
KEY CORPORATE CAPITAL INC. Under the provisions of said
mortgage none of the owner, any charterer, the master of this
vessel, or any other person has any right, power or authority
to create, incur or permit to be imposed upon this vessel any
lien, encumbrance, or other charge whatsoever other than for
crews' wages or salvage, and such other liens as may be
permitted under such preferred mortgage.
6. ARREST OF VESSEL. If a libel or complaint is filed against the
Vessel, or if the Vessel is attached or arrested, Shipowner shall promptly
notify Mortgagee by telephone, facsimile transmission, telex or telegraph,
confirmed by letter, and shall, if the Vessel is attached or arrested, forthwith
cause the Vessel to be released and all alleged Liens thereon (other than the
lien of this Mortgage and Permitted Maritime Liens), to be discharged or
adequate security to be posted therefor and shall promptly notify Mortgagee
concerning such release and discharge. In the event the Shipowner does not cause
the Vessel to be released within ten (10) business days, Shipowner authorizes
and empowers Mortgagee to appear in the name of Shipowner in any court of any
country or jurisdiction where a suit is pending against the Vessel because of or
on account of any alleged Lien thereon from which it has not been released, and
to take such actions as to it as Mortgagee may deem proper towards the defense
of such suit, the purchase or discharge of such alleged Lien, or the release of
the Vessel, including, without limitation, posting adequate security therefor.
All reasonable expenditures made or incurred by Mortgagee for the purpose of
such defense, purchase or discharge shall be a debt due from Shipowner to
Mortgagee, as the case may be, and shall be secured by the lien of this
Mortgage, and shall bear interest in the manner provided in Section 25 hereof.
7. MAINTENANCE. Shipowner shall at all times and without cost or
expense to Mortgagee maintain and preserve the Vessel in such running order and
repair as would be expected of a prudent Shipowner, and so that the Vessel will
be, insofar as reasonable due diligence can make it so, tight, staunch, strong
and well and sufficiently tackled, appareled, furnished, equipped and in every
respect seaworthy, fit for her intended service and in good operating condition,
ordinary wear and tear excepted. Shipowner shall not make or permit to be made
any change in the Vessel's gross or net tonnages, or any other material change
in its structure or rig, without first obtaining the written approval of
Mortgagee. Shipowner may remove equipment from the Vessel free and clear of the
lien of this Mortgage if it simultaneously replaces such equipment with
equipment of equal suitability and value when new and which is owned by
Shipowner free and clear of any Lien, provided, the Shipowner need not replace
any item of equipment that is worn-out, obsolete or no longer necessary to
Shipowner if the failure to replace such item of equipment is not
disadvantageous in any material respect for Shipowner to conduct its business in
the ordinary manner or for the Vessel to efficiently operate for its intended
purposes.
8. LEGAL COMPLIANCE. The Vessel and its operations shall at all times
comply in all material respects with (a) all laws, rules and regulations of
Panama applicable to the Vessel, as in effect from time to time, and (b) all
treaties, conventions, laws, rules, and regulations applicable to the Vessel and
its operation in all trades and locations in which it operates or is located
from time to time; and the Vessel shall have on board as and when required
thereby valid certificates of inspection and all other certificates evidencing
compliance therewith. The Vessel shall not otherwise engage in any unlawful
trade or violate or be operated in violation of any applicable law, regulation
or treaty, or carry any passenger, cargo, or other matter that will expose it to
penalty, forfeiture or capture. Shipowner shall obtain and file all certificates
of financial responsibility for liabilities imposed on Shipowner or the Vessel
as legally required in all jurisdictions in which the Vessel is located from
time to time, including, without limitation, the United States Water Pollution
Act, as amended by the Water Pollution Control Act Amendment of 1972, and as
further amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (as the same may be further
amended from time to time), and will maintain all certificates or other evidence
of financial responsibility as may
4
be required by any law, regulation, proclamation or order. Shipowner shall
prepare and file all environmental pollution prevention and contingency plans
and other matters required under all applicable treaties, conventions, laws,
rules and regulations in effect from time to time concerning the prevention and
cleanup of environmental pollution, and the regulation of shipowners and vessels
with respect to environmental matters. Shipowner shall ensure that all
reasonable precautions are taken to ensure that no illegal drugs or drug
paraphernalia are used or kept on board the Vessel.
9. LOCATION OF VESSEL. The Vessel shall not be abandoned in any port or
place. Shipowner shall not operate the Vessel or suffer the Vessel to be
operated in any area excluded from any insurance required to be maintained
pursuant to Section 10 below. Shipowner shall upon request provide Mortgagee
with the Vessel's current location and itinerary.
10. INSURANCE.
a. When and so long as this Mortgage or any parts of the
obligations secured by this Mortgage are outstanding, Shipowner shall maintain
the following insurances with respect to the Vessel:
(i) Marine hull and machinery insurance and increased value
insurance in substantially the same form and coverage with substantially the
same warranties, deductibles and conditions as those contained in that policy
identified in SECTION I of EXHIBIT B attached hereto;
(ii) Marine protection and indemnity insurance in
substantially the same form and coverage with substantially the same warranties,
deductibles and conditions as those contained in that policy identified in
SECTION 2 of EXHIBIT B attached hereto;
(iii) War risk hull and machinery and war risk protection and
indemnity insurance in substantially the same form and coverage with
substantially the same warranties, deductibles and conditions as those contained
in that policy identified in SECTION 3 of EXHIBIT B attached hereto, provided,
however, that no such war risk insurance shall be required when the Vessel is
operating in the waters of the United States of America;
(iv) If and as required by law, workmen's compensation
insurance for each state in or from which the Vessel shall operate and United
States Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act insurance for statutory
third party pollution liability insurance and pollution clean-up insurance, in
the amount of $1,000,000.00 in the aggregate, or the minimum required by
domestic or international oil pollution protection laws applicable to the
Vessel, whichever is greater;
(v) Mortgagee's interest insurance (including breach of
warranty clauses) in substantially the same form and coverage with substantially
the same warranties, deductibles and conditions as those contained in that
policy identified in SECTION 4 of EXHIBIT B attached hereto; and
(vi) Marine increased value insurance, in substantially the
same form and coverage with substantially the same warranties, deductibles and
conditions as those contained in that policy identified in SECTION 5 of EXHIBIT
B attached hereto.
Shipowner shall obtain and maintain all such insurances at its own expense, and
shall timely pay all premiums, dues, calls, assessments and other amounts and
expenses thereunder, despite any undertaking by Mortgagee from time to time to
be responsible therefor.
5
b. All policies of insurance shall be maintained in forms
available from underwriters reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee, effected by an
insurance broker reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee, and contain insuring
covenants, deductible or franchise clauses, mortgagee clauses, and other
provisions reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee. No required policy of insurance
shall be amended or terminated without obtaining the prior written consent of
Mortgagee. Each policy, binder and interim contract of insurance required
hereunder shall provide for 30 days' (or such shorter period of time specified
by Mortgagee) prior received written notice to be given to Mortgagee by the
underwriters in the event of cancellation or any material amendment or
alteration. Within fifteen (15) days of the expiration of each policy required
hereunder, Mortgagor's broker shall furnish Mortgagee a Certificate of Insurance
evidencing that the coverages required hereunder are in full force and effect.
Mortgagor agrees to make available for inspection by Mortgagee, on reasonable
request, copies of the originals of all policies, amendments, endorsements,
certificates of entry, binders and other insurance contracts which are in its
possession. Evidence of renewal of all insurances shall be furnished to
Mortgagee as soon as it has been placed. At the option of Mortgagee, and without
waiver of any default with respect thereto, any policies of insurance required
herein and not timely obtained and properly maintained by Shipowner may be
obtained and maintained by Mortgagee, and the expenses therefor, if not paid for
or reimbursed by Shipowner within ten days after the same shall have become
owing or shall have been paid by Mortgagee, shall be added to the indebtedness
secured hereby and shall bear interest as provided in SECTION 25 herein.
Mortgagee's failure to object to the placement of insurance contrary to the
provisions of this Mortgage in one or more instances shall not establish a
consent or course of dealing with respect to such noncompliance in any other
instances. As used in this Mortgage, references to "policy" or "policies," or
"insurance" or "insurances" shall include entries in one or more hull and
machinery insurance funds, protection and indemnity associations, and the like,
or the coverages afforded thereby, and references to "underwriter" or
"underwriters" shall include one or more of such funds and associations.
c. All insurances shall name Mortgagee as an assured in
addition to Shipowner, and shall name Mortgagee as co-loss payee, and no other
loss payees shall be added to any policy without obtaining the advance written
consent of Mortgagee PROVIDED that Bareboat Charterer, Time Charterer, and Space
Charterer may be named as co-loss payees as their interests appear. Without
limiting Mortgagee's right herein to obtain insurance at Shipowner's expense or
relieving Shipowner from any default with respect thereto, to the extent
Shipowner does not have Mortgagee named on any required insurances as an assured
or sole loss payee, Shipowner shall execute and deliver to Mortgagee promptly on
request specific assignments and pay orders as it may require, and on any
failure to provide them promptly on request, Mortgagee is appointed Shipowner's
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute and deliver such
assignments and pay orders on behalf of Shipowner.
d. In the event of an actual total loss, a constructive total
loss, or a compromised, agreed, or arranged total loss of the Vessel as provided
under an applicable policy of insurance, Mortgagee shall receive and retain out
of the insurance payments received on account of such loss all sums then owing
on the Debt or otherwise owing under or secured by this Mortgage, whether or not
the same are then due and payable, and shall pay the balance to Shipowner or to
whomsoever may be entitled thereto. Mortgagee shall have the right to tender
abandonment of the Vessel to its underwriters on behalf of itself and Shipowner.
If there has not occurred and there is not continuing an Event of Default at the
time of tender of payment by the underwriters, in the event of any other loss
payable in an amount not in excess of $500,000 under any hull and machinery
insurance which provides partial and total loss coverage (excluding, without
limitation, increased value insurance coverage, and self-insurance), or for
salvage or other liabilities or expenses insured thereunder, Mortgagee shall
instruct the underwriters to pay directly for repairs, salvage or other
liabilities or expenses, or reimburse Shipowner therefor. In the event of any
loss payable under any hull and machinery insurance or increased value insurance
not
6
described above in this subsection, and if an Event of Default has occurred and
in continuing, at its sole option, Mortgagee may instruct the underwriters to
pay directly for repairs, salvage or other liabilities, or expenses, or
reimburse Shipowner therefor, or Mortgagee may receive all such insurance
proceeds and apply them toward payment of the Loan and all sums otherwise owing
under or secured by this Mortgage, whether or not the same are then due and
payable, in which event the balance of the proceeds shall be paid to Shipowner
or to whomsoever may be entitled thereto.
e. In the event that insurance moneys become due under any
protection and indemnity insurance or other liability insurances, if there has
not occurred and there is not continuing an Event of Default at the time of
tender of payment by the underwriters, Mortgagee shall instruct the underwriters
to pay Shipowner such insurance proceeds as may be due to Shipowner on account
of any liability covered by such insurance if Shipowner has already paid the
liability, or to pay the party in respect of whom the liability was incurred, in
exchange for a complete release of liability with respect thereto. At such time
of tender of payment, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at
Mortgagee's sole option, and in lieu of the foregoing, Mortgagee shall be
entitled to receive such insurance proceeds and may apply the proceeds thereof
toward payment of any or all of the Loan and all sums otherwise owing under or
secured by this Mortgage, whether or not the same are then due and payable, in
which event the balance of the proceeds shall be paid to Shipowner or to
whomsoever may be entitled thereto.
f. In the event the Vessel is attached or arrested or is
threatened to be attached or arrested, Mortgagee, at the request of Shipowner,
may agree (and, with respect to any policies of liability insurance, does hereby
agree if no Default or Event of Default is then continuing, other than such
Default or Event of Default solely arising from the attachment or arrest of the
Vessel) with any surety executing a surety bond releasing the Vessel from such
attachment or arrest to assign to such surety any or all insurance proceeds
under the policies of insurance on the Vessel as collateral security to
indemnify such surety against liability under said bond.
g. Shipowner shall notify Mortgagee within forty-eight hours
after the occurrence of damage to the Vessel in excess of $500,000, or an
incident of salvage or general average with respect to the Vessel.
h. Shipowner shall not do any act or voluntarily suffer or
permit any act to be done whereby any insurance required herein shall or may be
canceled without simultaneously being renewed in accordance herewith. Shipowner
shall not suffer or permit the Vessel to engage in any voyage or to engage in
any trade or activity not permitted under the policies of insurance at the time
in effect without first covering the Vessel for such voyage, trade or activity
as otherwise required herein.
11. REQUISITION. Shipowner and Mortgagee agree that in the event of
the requisition of title to the Vessel, so long as there has not occurred and
there is not continuing an Event of Default, all amounts which are owed or
payable as compensation for the use of the Vessel shall be retained by
Shipowner; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, all such amounts are hereby assigned to and shall be paid over to
Mortgagee to be applied as provided in the next sentence. Shipowner agrees that
in the event of the requisition of title to the Vessel, all amounts which are
owed or payable as compensation for the Vessel or for its use are hereby
assigned to and shall be paid over to Mortgagee to be applied toward payment of
the Debt and all sums otherwise owing under or secured by this Mortgage, whether
or not the same are then due and payable, in which event the balance shall be
applied as provided in Section 25 herein, and to that end Shipowner agrees to
execute and deliver all other and further instruments reasonably requested by
Mortgagee. Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably and individually appointed
Shipowner's attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest to execute all such
7
instruments which Shipowner is required to execute and deliver in this Section
but fails to execute and deliver promptly on request.
12. SECURITY. Shipowner agrees to execute and deliver to Mortgagee as
requested all financing statements and other evidence of the security interest
of Mortgagee in the Vessel suitable for recording in the jurisdictions of
Mortgagee's choice, and other instruments, agreements, applications, and other
documents necessary to effect and perfect the security hereof, or to otherwise
effectuate the provisions hereof. Mortgagee is irrevocably and individually
appointed Shipowner's attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest to execute, file
and record the same in Shipowner's name. Shipowner further agrees that this
Mortgage may serve as the security agreement encumbering the collateral
described herein (including, without limitation, the Vessel and all of its
constituent parts) underlying such financing statements or evidence of
perfection.
13. TRANSFER OF VESSEL/ASSIGNMENT OF CHARTER. Shipowner shall not
sell, mortgage, bareboat or demise charter, or in any other manner transfer the
Vessel, possession thereof, or any interest in, or control over ("Transfer"),
and shall not agree to do any of the foregoing, without the prior written
consent of Mortgagee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
provided, however, that Mortgagee consents to (i) the charter of the Vessel to
New Commodore Cruise Lines Limited ("Bareboat Charterer") pursuant to a Bareboat
Charter Agreement between Mortgagor and Bareboat Charterer dated July 14, 1995,
as it relates to the Vessel ("Bareboat Charter"); (ii) the Time Charter of the
Vessel dated as of October 30, 1995 (the "Time Charter"), between Bareboat
Charterer and Sea-Comm, Ltd. (the "Time Charterer"); and (iii) the Space Charter
of the Vessel dated as of October 30, 1995 (the "Space Charter") between the
Time Charterer and Seawise Foundation, Inc. (the "Space Charterer"); PROVIDED,
however, that the Bareboat Charter, Time Charter, and Space Charter shall be
junior, inferior, and subordinate to the interests of Mortgagee in the Vessel. A
transfer or other change in ownership of a controlling interest in Shipowner
(where Shipowner is not the surviving entity) or any change in the citizenship
status of Shipowner, shall constitute a Transfer. Mortgagor shall not transfer
the Vessel to, or permit the Vessel to serve under any contract of affreightment
with, a person included within the definition of "designated foreign country" or
"national" of a "designated foreign country" as defined in the Foreign Assets
Control Regulations, Cuban or Iranian Assets Control Regulations, the Rhodesian,
Libyan, Yugoslavian or Iraqi Sanction Regulations, or the Haitian Transactions
Regulations of the United States Treasury Department, 31 C.F.R., Chapter V, as
amended, within the meaning of said regulations or of any regulation,
interpretation or ruling issued thereunder unless such service complies with
applicable permits and permissions obtained by Mortgagee for such service. No
written consent to any Transfer shall be construed to be a waiver of this
provision with respect to any subsequent proposed Transfer. Each such approved
Transfer shall be subject to the provisions of this Mortgage and to the lien it
creates.
14. ACCESS TO VESSEL. Shipowner at all reasonable times shall afford
Mortgagee and its representatives full and complete access to the Vessel for the
purposes of inspecting her cargoes and papers, and, upon request, Shipowner
shall deliver to it or them for inspection copies of all contracts, charter
parties, policies of insurance, evidence of club entries, and all other
documents relating to the Vessel and its operation, whether on board or not.
Shipowner shall maintain books of account and other customary and appropriate
records for the Vessel, its freights, hire, and other earnings, and shall duly
perform or cause to be performed all charter parties and other contracts for
carriage or other employment of the Vessel.
15. DRYDOCKING. If Mortgagee so requests, Shipowner shall give
Mortgagee 14 days advance notice of all occasions during which the Vessel shall
be placed in dry dock, and the location of such dry dock or, in the event of
emergencies, such notice as the circumstances permit, and Shipowner shall allow
reasonable access to the Vessel at such times to representatives of and
surveyors for Mortgagee.
8
16. BONDS. Shipowner warrants that all surety bonds or other
undertakings or instruments required by any applicable law to secure the
payment of wages or the payment of any other sum in respect to the operation of
the Vessel shall be obtained, effective and filed in the required amounts and in
accordance with applicable law. In the event that any such bond, undertaking or
instrument has not been obtained or is at any time not in effect as required by
any applicable laws, then Mortgagee may obtain the same, and the expense thereof
shall be paid to Mortgagee forthwith, or shall be added to the sums secured
hereby as of the date such expense is incurred. Shipowner shall use its best
efforts to ensure that all such surety bonds and all parties liable on or in
respect of them, by guaranty or otherwise, waive the right to be subrogated to
the rights against the Vessel, if any, of those who receive funds or who are
paid out of the proceeds of such surety bonds or other undertakings.
17. RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONDITIONS. Shipowner warrants and represents
that the Vessel is and shall at all times remain free of all recommendations and
conditions affecting her class.
ARTICLE II.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
18. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES. (a) The occurrence or existence of any one or
more of the following events, conditions or states of fact shall constitute,
individually, an "Event of Default" and, collectively, "Events of Default:"
(i) Shipowner fails to make any payment of principal or
interest constituting the Loan for a period of ten (10) business days after the
same shall be due;
(ii) Any representation or warranty made or deemed made by
Shipowner in connection with the Loan Agreement, the Swap Contracts or the other
Loan Documents shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when
made and shall not have been rectified to Mortgagee's satisfaction;
(iii) Shipowner shall fail to have complied, in all material
respects, with any provision of Article I of the Mortgage and such failure shall
remain unremedied for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof shall have
been given to Mortgagor by Mortgagee;
(iv) Shipowner shall fail to perform or observe any other
covenant, obligation or term of this Mortgage or the Loan Agreement and such

begin to cure any such failure that cannot be cured within thirty (30) days;
(v) An event of default as set forth in the Loan Agreement
exists or shall occur; or

(b). Upon the occurrence or existence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, to the extent not contrary to applicable law, Mortgagee,
without presentment, demand, protest, notice of nonpayment, or notice of
dishonor, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Shipowner, may exercise
all rights, powers, privileges and remedies hereunder, under the Loan Agreement
and Loan Documents,

and otherwise existing or arising by agreement, at law, or in equity, in
admiralty, or otherwise, and without limiting the foregoing, Mortgagee may:
(i) Deem the Loan to be due and payable immediately, and
whereupon the entire unpaid principal and interest and all other amounts then
accrued under the Note or this Mortgage and under the Swap Contracts will become
and be immediately due and payable;
(ii) Bring suit at law, in equity, or in admiralty, as it may
be advised, to recover judgment for the Debt and any or all amounts otherwise
due under the Loan Documents, or this Mortgage, and collect the same;
(iii) Take the Vessel, wherever it may be, without legal
process, and remove it to any port or place selected by Mortgagee. To the extent
permitted by law, Shipowner or other person in possession shall, forthwith upon
demand of Mortgagee, and at Shipowner's expense, surrender possession of the
Vessel as demanded by Mortgagee, and Mortgagee may hold, lay up, charter,
operate, or otherwise use the Vessel for such time and upon such terms as it may
deem to be for its best advantage, accounting for the net profits, if any,
arising from such use and charging upon all receipts from such use or from the
sale of the Vessel by court proceedings or pursuant to Subsection (iv) next
following, all reasonable costs, charges, damages, losses or other expenses
incurred by reason of such use or sale. If at any time Mortgagee shall avail
itself of the right herein given it to take the Vessel, Mortgagee shall have the
right to dock it for a reasonable time at any dock, pier or other premises of
Shipowner without charge, or to dock it at any other place at the cost and
expense of Shipowner; and
(iv) Sell the Vessel in compliance with applicable law at a
privately conducted public sale at any place and at such time as Mortgagee may
reasonably specify, and in such manner as Mortgagee may reasonably deem
advisable, free from all claims by Shipowner, after first giving notice of the
time and place of sale with a general description of the property in the
following manner: (A) by publishing such notice for not less than ten (10) days
in a daily newspaper of general circulation published in Panama City, Panama;
(B) if the place of sale should not be Panama City, Panama, then by publication
of a similar notice in a daily newspaper of general circulation published at or
near the place of sale; (C) by mailing (and faxing or delivering) a similar
notice to Shipowner at least ten (10) days prior to the scheduled date of the
sale; and (D) by posting notice of sale on the Vessel to be sold; PROVIDE that
in the event of the filing of a petition by Shipowner or the commencement of any
other proceeding whereby Shipowner voluntarily or involuntarily seeks
liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or other relief with respect to it or
its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter
in effect, or seeks the appointment of a trustee, receiver, administrative
receiver, administrator, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it
or any substantial part of its property, and such case or other proceeding shall
remain undismissed for a period of sixty (60) days, the entire, aggregate unpaid
principal balances evidenced by the Loan Documents, all accrued and unpaid
interest under the Note and all other amounts payable under this Mortgage, the
Loan Documents, and the Swap Contracts and the other documents, instruments,
agreements, and certificates delivered thereunder relating to the Loan ("Related
Documents"), automatically shall become and be due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor or any
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Shipowner.
19. SALE OF VESSEL. A sale of the Vessel made pursuant to this
Mortgage, whether under the power of sale hereby granted or pursuant to any
judicial proceeding, shall operate to divest all right, title and interest of
any nature whatsoever of Shipowner therein and thereto. Nevertheless, the Vessel
shall not be sold to any parties who are not lawfully entitled to acquire it. No
purchaser shall be bound to inquire whether notice has been given, whether any
default has occurred, or as to the propriety of the sale or as to
10
the application of the proceeds thereof. In case of such sale, and to the extent
permitted by law, any purchaser who is the holder of any of the Loan and the
other obligations secured by this Mortgage shall be entitled, for the purpose of
making settlement or payment for the property purchased, to use and apply any or
all of the Loan and other secured obligations it holds in order that there may
be credited against the amount remaining due and unpaid thereon the sums payable
out of the net proceeds of such sale to the holder after allowing for the
reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and other expenses related to the sale; and
thereupon such purchaser shall be credited, on account of such purchase price,
with the net proceeds that have been so credited upon the Debt and such
obligations. At such sale, such holder of all or part of the Loan and such other
obligations may purchase such property and upon compliance with the terms of
sale may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further
accountability therefor. Mortgagee shall not have any liability to Shipowner in
connection with any disposition of the Vessel hereunder, nor shall Shipowner be
entitled to any set-off, counterclaim, or recoupment with respect to any claim
of such a liability.
20. CONVEYANCE. Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed Shipowner's
attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest to execute and deliver to any
purchaser aforesaid, and is hereby vested with full power and authority to make,
in the name and on behalf of Shipowner, a good conveyance of the title to the
Vessel sold pursuant hereto insofar as may be permitted by law. In the event of
a sale of the Vessel under any power herein contained, Shipowner shall, if and
when required by Mortgagee, execute such form of conveyance of the Vessel as
Mortgagee may direct, and Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed Shipowner's
attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest to execute such form upon Shipowner's
failure to do so forthwith upon request.
21. PROCEEDS OF VESSEL. Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably and
individually appointed Shipowner's attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest to
demand, collect, receive, compromise and sue for, in the name of Shipowner or
otherwise, so far as may be permitted by law, all proceeds of insurance with
respect to, and all proceeds of the requisition of title to the Vessel.
Mortgagee may make, give, and execute in the name of Shipowner acquittances,
receipts, releases, and other discharges for the same, whether under seal or
otherwise, and endorse and accept in the name of Shipowner all checks, notes,
drafts, warrants, agreements and all other instruments in writing with respect
to the foregoing. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing,
(a) Mortgagee may demand and proceed to collect all charter parties and all
rights thereunder pertaining to the Vessel under any agreements between
Mortgagor and charter parties, (b) Mortgagor shall identify to Mortgagee all
charterers and shippers and consignees who owe it any amounts, or to whom the
Vessel is or is to be chartered, and (c) Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee
copies of all charter parties, and booking notes, evidencing such charters and
amounts. Such identification shall include names, addresses, and telephone,
telecopier, telex and cable numbers.
22. RECEIVER. If any legal proceedings are taken to enforce any rights
under this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall be entitled as a matter of right, at its
option, to the appointment of a receiver of the Vessel, and Mortgagee shall be
so entitled with respect to its hire, or other earnings of the Vessel, and all
other sums due or to become due and arising from the receivership or operation
of the Vessel, subject to the prior rights of third parties, if any. All
liabilities, costs and other expenses reasonably incurred by such receiver shall
be for the account of Shipowner.
23. EXPENSES. Shipowner shall pay on demand all reasonable fees, costs
and other expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and disbursements and travel and lodging expenses of officers and employees of
Mortgagee) incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the negotiation,
preparation, execution and delivery of this Mortgage, not to exceed $50,000 for
all closing costs ($25,000 of which has been paid). In addition, Shipowner shall
pay on demand all reasonable fees,
11
costs and other expenses (including, without limitation, all taxes, fees, costs
and other expenses for the filing, recording, and registration of this Mortgage
and the Related Documents, all survey costs, all trustees' fees and
disbursements and all attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Mortgagee
in connection with the maintenance, enforcement and preservation of any
collateral for the Loan or any rights, powers, privileges or remedies of
Mortgagee under this Mortgage, the Loan Agreement, or the Related Documents, and
otherwise available to Mortgagee by agreement, at law, in equity, in admiralty
or otherwise, provided, however, that to the extent such fees and disbursements
are incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, they shall be subject
to the $50,000 limit mentioned above. The fees and disbursements of attorneys'
referred to in this Section shall be paid by Shipowner to Mortgagee, as the case
may be, whether or not any form of legal proceeding is commenced and shall
include any such fees and disbursements incurred in preparation for or
contemplation of, or during, or on any appeal from, any trial, mediation,
arbitration, interpleader, bankruptcy case or proceeding or other judicial or
similar proceeding. All fees, costs, and other expenses referred to in this
Section 23 shall be added to the indebtedness secured hereby and shall bear
interest at the rate as provided in Section 25 herein.
24. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Each and every right, power, privilege, and
remedy given herein or otherwise existing in connection therewith shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power, privilege, and
remedy now or hereafter existing by agreement, at law, in equity, or in
admiralty, and each and every such right, power, privilege, and remedy may be
exercised, wholly or in part, from time to time, and as often, and in any order,
as Mortgagee chooses, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any
right, power, privilege, or remedy shall not be construed to be an election of
rights, powers, privileges, or remedies, or a waiver of the right to exercise at
the same time or thereafter any other right, power, privilege, or remedy. No
delay or omission by Mortgagee or the holders of the Loan in the exercise of any
right, power, privilege, or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default or event
which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute
an Event of Default, shall impair any such right, power, privilege, or remedy or
be construed to be a waiver of any right to take advantage of any such future
event or of any such past event or Event of Default.
25. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of a sale of the Vessel,
insurance pertaining to the Vessel, and all other sums received by Mortgagee
pursuant to or under the provisions of this Mortgage or in any proceedings
hereunder, the application of which has not otherwise been specifically provided
for, shall, except as otherwise provided by law, be applied as follows:
FIRST: To the payment of all reasonable expenses, including the
expenses of any sale, the expenses of any retaking, attorneys' fees, court
costs, and other expenses incurred by Mortgagee in the protection of their
rights, powers, and privileges or the pursuance of their remedies, with interest
thereon at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of the Prime Rate plus five
percent (5%) per annum or the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law
(the "Default Interest Rate");
SECOND: To the payment of all amounts as required by law or otherwise
at Mortgagee's sole option, to the payment of or to provide adequate indemnity
against liens known to Mortgagee and having or claiming priority over the lien
of this Mortgage;
THIRD: To the payment of the Loan and all other sums evidenced by the
Note or evidenced or secured hereby from time to time and not already paid
pursuant to the foregoing Subsection, whether due or not, owed to Mortgagee
under the Note or hereunder, together with interest thereon at the Default
Interest Rate, but in no event in excess of the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law; and
FOURTH: To the payment of all amounts secured by means of the preferred
mortgage on the Vessel in favor of Mortgagee or any trustee therefor that is or
are junior in priority to this Mortgage,
12
allocated amongst such secured obligations as Mortgagee may choose, in its sole
discretion, and, as required by law or otherwise at Mortgagee's sole option to
the payment of or to provide adequate indemnity against liens known to Mortgagee
and having or claiming priority over the lien of such junior preferred
mortgage(s); and
FIFTH: To the payment of any surplus thereafter remaining to Shipowner
or to whomsoever else may be entitled thereto.
26. POSSESSION OF VESSEL. Until some one or more of the Events of
Default shall occur and be continuing, Shipowner may retain actual possession
and use of the Vessel.
ARTICLE III.
SUNDRY PROVISIONS
27. AMENDMENT. No waiver, termination, amendment or other modification
of any provision of this Mortgage or the Note, and no consent to any departure
by Shipowner from any provision thereof, shall in any event be effective unless
the same shall be in writing and signed by Mortgagee, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which it is given; provided that no such consent, waiver,
termination, amendment or other modification, unless in writing and signed by
Mortgagee shall affect the rights or duties of Mortgagee under this Mortgage or
the Note. Except as otherwise provided in this Mortgage, no notice or demand to
anyone shall entitle such recipient of such notice or demand to any other or
further notice or demand.
28. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All the covenants, promises, stipulations
and agreements of Shipowner in this Mortgage contained shall apply to and bind
Shipowner, its successors and assigns, and all persons claiming by, through or
under them, and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee, its successors and
assigns, and all persons claiming by, through or under them. Shipowner
recognizes that Mortgagee may, as appropriate in accordance with applicable
agreements and law, assign, endorse, or otherwise transfer any or all of the
Note or this Mortgage, and any or all of its interests therein and rights,

the like, or providing security therefor, salvage, general average and tort
claim expenses, for liens or other encumbrances, for mortgage recording and
duplication expenses and fees, in providing repairs, moving the Vessel and for
such other matters as Shipowner is obligated herein to provide, but fails to
provide. Such obligation of Shipowner to reimburse Mortgagee shall be an
additional indebtedness due from Shipowner and secured by this Mortgage, and
shall accrue interest from the date of the relevant expenditure at a per annum
rate equal to the Default Interest Rate, but in no event in excess of the
maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Mortgagee, though privileged to do so,
will not be under any obligation to Shipowner to make any such expenditures, nor
will the making thereof relieve Shipowner of any default in that respect.

other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties waive
any provision of law which renders any express provision hereof or any of the
other Loan Documents prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
34. MISCELLANEOUS. Nothing contained herein shall impair or shall be

37. ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Any legal action or proceeding against
Shipowner with respect to the Loan Documents or this Mortgage may be brought in

City of Albany or in the United States District Court for the Northern District
of New York, as Mortgagee or its successors and assigns may elect, and by

nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts, and to appellate courts therefrom,

prepaid, to Shipowner at its address as provided in Section 30 hereof, or by any
other means permitted by Applicable Law. If it becomes necessary for the purpose
of service of process out of any such courts, Shipowner shall take all such
action as may be required to authorize a special agent to receive, for and on
behalf of it, service of process in any such legal action or proceeding, and
shall take all such action as may be necessary to continue said appointment in
full force and effect so that Shipowner will at all times have an agent for
service of process for the above purposes in New York, New York. To the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, a final, unappealable judgment (a certified copy of
which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and of the amount of any
indebtedness of Shipowner to Mortgagee) against Shipowner in any such legal
action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on an unsatisfied judgment. To the extent that Shipowner
has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any of the
above-named courts or from any Panama court or from any legal process therein,

property is immune from the above-described legal process (whether through
service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution,
or otherwise); (iv) that such action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient
forum, that venue for the action or proceeding is improper or that this Mortgage
or any other document evidencing the Loan Agreement may not be enforced in or by
such courts; or (v) any defense that would hinder or delay the levy, execution
or collection of any amount to which any party hereto is entitled pursuant to a
final, unappealable judgment of any court having jurisdiction. Nothing in these
provisions shall limit any right of Mortgagee to bring actions, suits or
proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

jury in any action or proceeding to which Shipowner or Mortgagee may be parties
arising out of or in any way pertaining to the Loan Documents or this Mortgage.

("Maker"), promises to pay to the order of KEYCORP LEASING, A DIVISION OF KEY
CORPORATE CAPITAL INC. ("Holder"), the sum of Ten Million U.S. Dollars
($10,000,000 U.S.) in lawful money of the United States of America (the
"Principal"), with interest thereon as hereafter provided ("Interest"), to be
paid in the manner set forth herein. This Promissory Note ("Note") is executed

ninety-six (96) consecutive monthly installments payable in arrears. Principal
and Interest shall be as set forth in the amortization schedule attached hereto
as SCHEDULE 1, which payments shall be adjusted pursuant to paragraph 2(b). Each
monthly payment shall also include accrued Interest on the outstanding Principal
balance. Monthly payments of Principal and Interest shall commence and be due

after the date due hereunder.
(b) Maker and Holder agree that each Note payment hereunder shall be
increased or decreased (but not below zero), as the case may be, by the Rate
Differential (as hereinafter defined) as follows: if, as of any Note Payment
Date, (i) the Rate Differential is greater than zero, the amount due on such
Note Payment Date shall be increased by such Rate Differential, and (ii) the

longer available, Holder will choose
1
a new index which is based upon comparable information and will give
Maker notice of such new "Actual Index."
(3) "Daily Equivalent" shall mean, as of the date of
determination, the product of the following formula:

30-day months), for the Note Payment Date immediately preceding such
day or, if such day is a Note Payment Date, for such Note Payment Date.
(5) "Rate Differential" shall mean, with respect to any Note
Payment Date, the sum of all Daily Equivalents (calculated on the basis
of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) for the 30-day
month to which such Note Payment Date relates.

performance and observance by Maker of all agreements, covenants and provisions
contained herein, are secured by a first priority security interest in the

4. PREPAYMENT. Maker may not prepay, in whole or in part, the Principal
outstanding hereunder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER that Maker may prepay, in whole but not
in part, the Principal outstanding hereunder by paying to Holder such

month.
5. TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT. Holder may at any time assign or otherwise transfer
or negotiate this Note in whole or in part, without any notice to Maker. The
rights and obligations of Maker may not be assigned or delegated.
6. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Prior to an Event of Default, each payment received
on this Note shall be applied first to all costs of collection, then to unpaid
late payment charges (if any) and Prepayment Premium (if any) hereunder, then to
Interest as of the payment due date and the balance, if any, to the outstanding
Principal as of the date received. Upon the occurrence, and during the
continuance, of an Event of Default, any payments in respect of the Secured
Obligations and any proceeds of the Collateral when received by Holder in cash
or its equivalent, will be applied first to costs of collection and, thereafter,
in reduction of the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as Holder may
direct in its sole discretion, and Maker irrevocably waives the right to direct
the application of such payments and proceeds and acknowledges and agrees that
Holder shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply any and all such
payments and proceeds in the Holder's sole discretion, notwithstanding any entry
to the contrary upon any of its books and records.

7. WITHHOLDING TAXES. Each payment to be made by Maker under this Note shall be
made free and clear of, and without deductions or withholding of, or on account
of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or charges of whatsoever
nature together with any liabilities (including penalties, interest and
expenses) in respect thereof imposed or levied on or on behalf of the government
of the Republic of Panama or any political subdivision thereof or any authority
or agency thereof having the power to tax ("Panama Withholding Taxes"). If the
payment of Panama Withholding Taxes is required, Maker shall either: (i) pay any
such additional amount to Holder as may be necessary to ensure that Holder
receive and retain a net sum after such deduction, withholding or payment of
Panama Withholding Taxes, equal to the sum that Holder would have received and
retained had no such deduction or withholding of Panama Withholding Taxes been
made or required to be made and promptly deliver to Holder the forms prescribed
by the relevant authority of such Panama Withholding Taxes; or (ii) pay the full
amount of Panama Withholding Taxes due to the relevant authority within the time
provided thereunder, or within ten (10) days of demand therefore by Holder, in
accordance with Applicable Law, without recourse against Holder, and deliver to
Holder proof of payment of such Panama Withholding Taxes within twenty (20) days
of demand therefor by Holder. Maker hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
Holder on an after-tax basis, for any Panama Withholding Taxes that become
payable and/or are paid by Holder in respect of any payment made by Maker under
this Note. Holder shall promptly notify Maker of any Panama Withholding Taxes in
respect of which it has paid or received an assessment or reassessment from any
Panama taxing authority and for which Maker is required to indemnify Holder and
of the amount payable to Holder by Maker, and Maker shall indemnify Holder
within ten (10) days of the receipt of such notice. Holder shall reasonably
determine the amount payable to it.
8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. (a) Maker shall be in default if any of the following
happens (each an "Event of Default"): (1) Maker fails to make any installment of
the Principal or Interest, or any other payment due and owing, under this Note
within ten (10) business days after the same becomes due and payable; or (2)
Maker fails to perform any other obligation required to be performed by Maker
under this Note, the Security Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents for
thirty (30) days after written notice from Holder of such failure; or (3) any
representation, warranty or other statement by Maker in this Note is false or
misleading in any material respect; (4) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing under the Security Agreement; or, (5) an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing under the First Preferred Marine Mortgage.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default: (i) Holder may declare the entire outstanding
balance of the Principal, together with all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon,
immediately due and payable without notice or demand, which amounts shall,
together with all other sums due hereunder, accrue interest from such
acceleration until the date of actual payment at the Default Rate (provided,
however, that should there occur an Event of Default, and if a voluntary
petition or involuntary petition (which is not dismissed within 60 days after
filing) under the United States Bankruptcy Code is filed by or against Maker
while such default remains uncured, the entire outstanding balance of the
Principal automatically shall be accelerated and due and payable with interest
thereon at the Default Rate), and Holder may exercise any and all of its
remedies hereunder, under the other Loan Documents and under Applicable Law. The
remedies of Holder provided herein, in the Security Agreement and under
Applicable Law shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly,
successively or concurrently at the sole discretion of Holder 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.
3
9. COLLECTION COSTS. In addition to the Principal, Interest, Prepayment Premium
(if any), and late payment charges (if any), Maker shall pay Holder on demand,
and Holder shall be entitled to collect all costs and expenses of collection,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in
connection with enforcement of its rights and remedies hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents, the protection or realization of the Collateral or in
connection with Holder's collection efforts, or in connection with any
bankruptcy or other judicial proceeding, whether or not suit on this Note or any
foreclosure proceeding is filed. All such costs and expenses shall be payable on
demand and, until paid, shall be Secured Obligations secured by the security
interest granted under the Security Agreement and all other collateral, if any,
held by Holder as security for Maker's obligations under this Note.

that this Note or any other document evidencing the Loan may not be enforced in
or by such courts; or (v) any defense that would hinder or delay the levy,
execution or collection of any amount to which any party hereto is entitled
