and does hereby grant the Assignee a security interest in, all of the Assignor's
right, title and interest in, to and under all policies and contracts of

and Indemnity or War Risks Association or Club, which are from time to time
taken out by or for the Assignor in respect of [the/any] Vessel, her hull,

4. Covenants and Undertakings. The Assignor hereby represents to
and covenants with the Assignee that:
2
(A) it will do or permit to be done each and every act or
thing which the Assignee may from time to time reasonably require to be done for
the purpose of enforcing the Assignee's rights under this Assignment and will
allow its name to be used as and when required by the Assignee for that purpose;

or any other person claiming title through it may be prevented from receiving
the proceeds thereof;
(D) if by reason of anything done or omitted or knowingly
suffered to be done or omitted the Insurances assigned hereby shall at any time
become voidable in whole or in part, the Assignor will forthwith at its own cost
take all such action as shall be necessary for keeping such Insurances in force
and in particular will pay all premiums as they become due; and
(E) if by reason of anything done or omitted or knowingly
suffered to be done or omitted the Insurances assigned hereby or any of them
shall at any time become void in whole or in part, the Assignor shall, at its
expense, affect new insurances in compliance with the terms of the Mortgage over
the Vessel[s,or any of them,] in favor of the Assignee, and shall forthwith (if
required by the Assignee), execute an assignment of such new insurances in favor
of the Assignee, and will pay any sums payable by way of premiums under the new
insurances.
5. No Duty of Inquiry. The Assignee shall not be obliged to make
any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it
hereunder or to make any claim or take any other action to collect any moneys or
to enforce any rights and benefits hereby assigned to the Assignee or to which
the Assignee may at any time be entitled hereunder except such reasonable action
as may be requested by any underwriter, association or club. The Assignor shall
remain liable to perform all the obligations assumed by it in relation to the
property hereby assigned, and the Assignee shall be under no obligation of any
kind whatsoever in respect thereof or be under any liability whatsoever
(including, without limitation, any obligation or liability with respect to the
payment of premiums, calls, assessments or any other sums at any time due and
owing in respect of the Insurances) in the event of any failure by the Assignor
to perform such obligations.
6. Negative Pledge. The Assignor does hereby warrant and
represent that it has not assigned or pledged, and hereby covenants that it will
not assign or pledge so long as this Assignment shall remain in effect, any of
its right, title or interest in the whole or any part of the Insurances or other
moneys and claims hereby assigned, to anyone other than the Assignee, and it
will not take or omit to take any action, the taking or omission of which might
result in an
3
alteration or impairment of the rights hereby assigned or any of the rights
created in this Assignment; and the Assignor hereby irrevocably appoints and
constitutes the Assignee as the Assignor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact with
full power (in the name of the Assignor or otherwise) should an Event of Default
(as such term is defined in the Indenture) have occurred and be continuing to
ask, require, demand, receive, compound and give acquittance for any and all
moneys and claims for moneys assigned hereby, to endorse any checks or other
instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take any
action or institute any proceedings which the Assignee may deem to be necessary
or advisable and otherwise to do any and all things which the Assignor itself
could do in relation to the property hereby assigned, including, but not limited
to, filing any and all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or renewals
thereof in connection with this Assignment which the Assignee may deem to be
necessary or advisable in order to perfect or maintain the security interest
granted hereby. The powers and authorities granted to the Assignee have been
given for valuable consideration and are hereby declared irrevocable.
7. Further Assurances. The Assignor agrees that any time and from
time to time upon the written request of the Assignee it will promptly and duly
execute and deliver to the Assignee any and all such further instruments and
documents as the Assignee may reasonably deem advisable in obtaining the full
benefits of this Assignment and of the rights and powers herein granted.
8. Remedies Cumulative and Not Exclusive; No Waiver. Each and
every right, power and remedy herein given to the Assignee shall be cumulative
and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy of the Assignee
now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every
right, power and remedy, whether herein given or otherwise existing, may be
exercised from time to time, in whole or in part, and as often and in such order
as may be deemed expedient by the Assignee, and the exercise or the beginning of
the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver
of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power
or remedy. No delay or omission by the Assignee in the exercise of any right or
power in the pursuance of any remedy accruing upon any breach or default of the
Indenture by the Assignor, the Company or any other Guarantor or Pledgor shall
impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any
such right, power or remedy or to be an acquiescence therein; nor shall the
acceptance by the Assignee of any security or of any payment of or on account of
any of the amounts due from the Assignor, the Company or any other Guarantor or
Pledgor under or in connection with the Indenture or any document delivered in
connection therewith and maturing after any breach or default or of any payment
on account of any past breach or default be construed to be a waiver of any
right to take advantage of any future breach or default or of any past breach or
default not completely cured thereby.
9. Invalidity. If any provision of this Assignment shall at any
time for any reason be declared invalid, void or otherwise inoperative by a
court of competent jurisdiction, such declaration or decision shall not affect
the validity of any other provision or provisions of this Assignment, or the
validity of this Assignment as a whole, which shall remain in full force and
effect. In the event that it should transpire that by reason of any law or
regulation, or by reason of a ruling of any court, or by any other reason
whatsoever, the assignment herein
4
contained is either wholly or partly defective, the Assignor hereby undertakes
to furnish the Assignee with an alternative assignment or alternative security
and/or to do all such other acts as, in the sole opinion of the Assignee, shall
be required in order to ensure and give effect to the full intent of this
Assignment.
10. Continuing Security. It is declared and agreed that the
security created by this Assignment shall be held by the Assignee as a
continuing security for the payment of all moneys which may at any time and from
time to time be or become payable by the Company, the [other] Subsidiary
Guarantors or the Assignor under the Indenture and that the security so created
shall not be satisfied by any intermediate payment or satisfaction of any part
of the amount hereby secured and that the security so created shall be in
addition to and shall not in any way be prejudiced or affected by any other
collateral or security now or hereafter held by the Assignee for all or any part
of the moneys hereby secured.
11. Waiver; Amendment. None of the terms and conditions of this
Assignment may be changed, waived, modified or varied in any manner whatsoever
unless in writing duly signed by the Assignee and the Assignor.
12. Termination. If the Assignor shall pay and discharge all of
its obligations under or in connection with the Indenture and the Securities or
is released therefrom in accordance with the terms thereof, all the right, title
and interest herein assigned shall revert to the Assignor, and this Assignment
shall terminate.
13. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE ASSIGNOR, AND BY ITS
ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, THE ASSIGNEE, HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
