          This FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated as of June [], 2010 is among Trico Shipping AS, a Norwegian limited company (the “Company”), each of the parties identified under the caption “Guarantors” on the signature page hereto (the “Guarantors”) and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (as successor trustee to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.), as Trustee.
RECITALS
          WHEREAS, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee entered into an Indenture, dated as of October 30, 2009 (as amended or supplemented, the “Indenture”), pursuant to which the Company has issued $400,000,000 in principal amount of 117/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2014 (the “Notes”);
          WHEREAS, Section 9.02 of the Indenture provides that the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes; and
          WHEREAS, pursuant to a consent solicitation effected by means of a Consent Solicitation Statement dated June 17, 2010, (the “Consent Solicitation”), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have validly consented to the adoption of the amendments set forth herein; and
          WHEREAS, all acts and things prescribed by the Indenture, by law and by the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws (or comparable constituent documents) of the Company, of the Guarantors and of the Trustee necessary to make this Supplemental Indenture a valid instrument legally binding on the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, in accordance with its terms, have been duly done and performed;
          NOW, THEREFORE, to comply with the provisions of the Indenture and in consideration of the above premises, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee covenant and agree for the equal and proportionate benefit of the respective Holders of the Notes as follows :
ARTICLE 1
          Section 1.01 This First Supplemental Indenture is supplemental to the Indenture and does and shall be deemed to form a part of, and shall be construed in connection with and as part of, the Indenture for any and all purposes.
          Section 1.02 This First Supplemental Indenture shall become effective immediately upon its execution and delivery by each of the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, provided that the amendments to the Indenture set forth herein shall not be operative until (i) the Company notifies the Trustee that it has deposited funds with Deutsche Bank National Trust Company in its capacity as the tabulation agent for the Consent Solicitation (the “Tabulation Agent”), sufficient in amount to pay half of the consent fee of $5.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, the Holders of which delivered a duly executed consent (and have not revoked such consent) to the amendments contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of the Consent Solicitation (the “Eligible Holders”), and (ii) the Company shall have obtained waivers or consents or amendments from the lenders under the Working Capital Facility Agreement such that the execution of this supplemental indenture and the commencement by the Parent, Trico Marine Cayman and/or Trico Holdco of the

 


 

Parent Bankruptcy case shall not constitute a default thereunder, with terms and conditions of any such waivers, consents and amendments substantially similar to those hereunder (the “Preconditions,” and the date the Preconditions are satisfied being the “Effective Time”). The Company’s obligation to pay the consent fee is contingent upon the satisfaction of the Preconditions. Subject to the foregoing, half of the consent fee, which is to be deposited by the Company with the Tabulation Agent in furtherance of clause (i) above, will be paid promptly to Eligible Holders following the Effective Time and the other half of the consent fee (the “Second Payment”) will be paid to Eligible Holders no later than the 45th calendar day following the Effective Time. Such payments will be made by the Tabulation Agent, subject to the receipt by the Tabulation Agent (A) from the Company of sufficient funds to make such payments and (B) from the Eligible Holders of requisite instructions to make the payment to such holders by check or wire transfer. All references herein to amendments or provisions applicable during the Forbearance Period shall cease to have any effect after the expiration thereof, and any such provisions shall be reinstated as set forth in the original Indenture upon such expiration without further action; provided that actions taken during the Forbearance Period in compliance with any such amended provision of the Indenture shall not be deemed to violate the Indenture after such reinstatement.
          Section 1.03 Except as expressly provided in this First Supplemental Indenture, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair or restrict the ability of each Holder to protect and preserve its rights, remedies and interests in the bankruptcy cases of the Company and the Guarantors. If the amendments to the Indenture set forth herein shall not become operative, or this First Supplemental Indenture is terminated for any reason, the parties hereto fully reserve any and all of their rights and defenses.

     (b) Section 4.34.

               (c) during the Forbearance Period, to amend and restate clause (5) thereof to read in its entirety as follows:
               “(5) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument (other than the Indenture) under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness by the Company or any Guarantor (other than Parent, Trico Marine Cayman and/or Trico Holdco) (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any Guarantor (other than Parent, Trico Marine Cayman and/or Trico Holdco)), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of this Indenture, if that default:
               (a) is caused by a failure to make any payment when due (or effect any cash collateralization of letters of credit when required) at the final maturity of such Indebtedness; or

5


 

               (b) entitles the holders thereof to cause the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity,
and, in each case, the principal (or face) amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal (or face) amount of any other Indebtedness with respect to which an event described in clause (a) or (b) has occurred, aggregates $5.0 million or more;” and

  “(14)   Failure by the Company or the Parent, as applicable, to pay (i) within the period of time set forth in the respective agreement below following receipt by the Company or the Parent of invoices, the reasonable fees or expenses owed to (A) Dechert LLP under that certain Reimbursement Agreement, dated June [14], 2010, or (B) GLC Advisors & Co., LLC under that certain Letter Agreement, dated June [7], 2010, in each case for services rendered pursuant to such agreements or (ii) the Second Payment (as defined in the First Supplemental Indenture) no later than the 45th calendar day following the Effective Time (as defined in the First Supplemental Indenture); or
 
  (15)   The appointment of a chapter 11 trustee or examiner with expanded powers in any of the Parent Bankruptcy Cases or the conversion of any Parent Bankruptcy Case to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Law.”
               (e) during the Forbearance Period, to include the following paragraph after clause (15):
“Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the expiration of the Forbearance Period, all references in clauses (4), (5), (7), (9) and (10) of this Section 6.01 to a “Guarantor” shall be deemed not to include the Parent, Trico Marine Cayman and/or Trico Holdco. For the avoidance of doubt, until the expiration of the Forbearance Period, the commencement and continuation of a Parent Bankruptcy Case shall be deemed not to result in any Default, Event of Default or a breach of any other covenant or term of the Indenture; provided, however, that rights of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes to enforce the obligations of Parent, Trico Marine Cayman and/or Trico Holdco under their Note Guarantees are expressly reserved.”
          Section 2.13 Section 1.1 of the Appendix to the Indenture is hereby amended to include the following definition in the correct alphabetical order:
          ““Additional Notes” means notes that may be issued from time to time in addition to the Notes issued on the Issue Date (or in exchange therefore) in an aggregate principal amount up to $65.0 million reduced by the aggregate principal amount of additional Indebtedness and letters of

6


 

credit incurred and outstanding under clause (1) of the second paragraph of Section 4.07 of the Indenture, which notes shall be identical to the Notes issued on the Issue Date except, notwithstanding anything in the Indenture to the contrary, that the interest rate and the amount payable on such notes on the first interest payment date may differ, and if there are such differences, such additional notes shall be treated as a separate series of notes for purposes of registration of ownership and transfer upon exchange or otherwise. The Additional Notes shall be in the form contemplated by this Indenture, subject to any changes necessary to reflect any such differences.”
          Section 2.14 Section 1.1 of the Appendix to the Indenture is hereby amended by amending and restating the definition of “Initial Notes” to read as follows:
““Initial Notes” means (1) $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 11 7/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2014 issued pursuant to the Indenture on the Issue Date, (2) Additional Notes and (3) any Notes issued pursuant to section 2.3(b)(ii) in exchange for any Initial Notes.”
          Section 2.15 Section 1.1 of the Appendix to the Indenture is hereby amended by amending and restating the definition of “Registration Rights Agreement” to read as follows:
““Registration Rights Agreement” means the Registration Rights Agreement dated October 30, 2009 among the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers, or any similar registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of Additional Notes.”
          Section 2.16 The first sentence of Section 2.2 of the Appendix to the Indenture is hereby amended by deleting the word “and” at the end of clause (1) and replacing the words “Initial Notes” with the following:
“Initial Notes and (3) at any time or, from time to time, the Additional Notes”.
          Section 2.17 During the Forbearance Period, the Indenture is hereby amended by adding Annex A hereto as Exhibit C thereto and by adding Annex B hereto as Exhibit D thereto.
          Section 2.18 In the event of the issuance of Additional Notes, the Trustee and Collateral Agent are authorized to enter into such other amendments to the Security Documents as are necessary to reflect the issuance of the Additional Notes and such other changes contemplated by this First Supplemental Indenture.
          Section 2.19 If, prior to the Effective Time, a Default or Event of Default has occurred under clauses (4), (5), (7), (9) and (10) of Section 6.01 of the Indenture with respect to the Parent, Trico Marine Cayman and/or Trico Holdco, including because of the commencement and continuation of a Parent Bankruptcy Case, or an acceleration of any indebtedness of a Parent Entity, then this supplemental indenture shall be deemed to (i) constitute a waiver of any such Defaults and Events of Default under the Indenture and (ii) rescind any acceleration of the Notes caused by or based on such Defaults or Events of Default, and any acceleration or right to accelerate the Notes based on such Defaults and Events of Default shall be revoked and any such

7


 

acceleration of the Notes shall be deemed rescinded. Such waiver and rescission will be affected pursuant to sections 6.02 and 6.04 of the Indenture, as applicable.
          Section 2.20 Except as specifically modified herein, the Indenture and the Notes are in all respects ratified and confirmed (mutatis mutandis) and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms with all capitalized terms used herein without definition having the same respective meanings ascribed to them as in the Indenture.
          Section 2.21 Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no duties, responsibilities or liabilities are assumed, or shall be construed to be assumed, by the Trustee by reason of this First Supplemental Indenture. This First Supplemental Indenture is executed and accepted by the Trustee subject to all the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture with the same force and effect as if those terms and conditions were repeated at length herein and made applicable to the Trustee with respect hereto. The Trustee shall not be responsible for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this First Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the correctness of the recitals of fact contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Company and the undersigned Guarantors.
          Section 2.22 THIS FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
          Section 2.23 The parties may sign any number of copies of this First Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of such executed copies together shall represent the same agreement.
