(j) The Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such independent insurance broker to agree (i) to advise the Mortgagee promptly of any default in the payment of any premium, commission, club call, assessment or advance required (whether for new insurance or for insurance replacing, renewing or extending existing insurance) and of any other act, omission or event of which such independent insurance broker has knowledge and which in its sole judgment (A) might invalidate or render unenforceable, or cause the cancellation or lapse or prevent the renewal or extension of, in whole or in part, any Insurances carried pursuant to Section 4(a), (B) has resulted or might result in any material modification of the terms of any such Insurances, or (C) has or might result in any such Insurances not being in compliance with the applicable requirements of this Section 4, and (ii) to furnish the Mortgagee from time to time, upon request, detailed information with respect to any of the Insurances carried on or with respect to the Vessel or the operation thereof.
 
 
11
 
 
(k) The Owner shall not declare or agree upon a compromised, constructive, arranged or agreed Total Loss of the Vessel without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee.
 
(l) The Owner agrees that it will not do any act or voluntarily suffer or permit any act to be done whereby any Insurances shall or may be suspended, impaired or defeated and will not suffer or permit the Vessel to engage in any voyage or to carry out any operations not permitted under the insurance policies in effect without first covering the Vessel to the amount herein provided for such voyage or such operations.

(g) to pay to the Mortgagee on demand all moneys (including, but not limited to, reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket fees of counsel), with interest thereon at the Default Rate, that the Mortgagee shall or may reasonably expend, be put to or become liable for which arise from the protection, maintenance or enforcement of the security created by this Mortgage or arise from the reasonable exercise by the Mortgagee of any of the powers vested in it hereunder;

(a) The Owner will without cost or expense to the Mortgagee within thirty (30) days of the date hereof, irrevocably and unconditionally instruct and authorize the classification society of the Vessel, and shall request the classification society to give an undertaking to the Mortgagee as follows, provided that no Event of Default shall result hereunder from the classification society’s refusal to honor such request:

(b) Notwithstanding the above instructions and undertaking given for the benefit of the Mortgagee, the Owner shall continue to be responsible to the classification society for the performance and discharge of all its obligations and liabilities relating to or arising out of or in connection with the contract it has with the classification society, and nothing herein or therein shall be construed as imposing any obligation or liability of the Mortgagee to the classification society in respect thereof.
 
 
14
 
 
(c) The Owner shall further notify the classification society that all the foregoing instructions and authorizations shall remain in full force and effect until revoked or modified by written notice to the classification society received from the Mortgagee, and that the Owner shall reimburse the classification society for all its customary and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in complying with the foregoing instructions.

(f) The Mortgagee shall have the right at any time at the cost and expense of the Owner, on reasonable prior written notice, to have a surveyor conduct inspections and surveys of the Vessels to ascertain the condition of the Vessels and to satisfy itself that the Vessels are being properly repaired and maintained.  Such inspections and surveys shall be conducted at such times and in such manner as will not interfere with the Owner’s normal business operations and schedule, and shall not occur more frequently than once in any twelve (12) month period, with the first such inspection and survey not to occur before one year after the date hereof, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

15
 
 
(i) demand payment of the Note and the Put Payment and any other outstanding Secured Obligation, by written notice to the Owner, whereupon such payment by the Owner to the Mortgagee shall be immediately due and payable without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of the Mortgagee;
 
(ii) at any time and as often as may be necessary, take any action to protect the security created by this Mortgage and each and every expense or liability (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) so incurred by the Mortgagee in the protection of such security shall be repayable to the Mortgagee by the Owner on demand, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date on which such expense or liability was incurred by the Mortgagee until full payment is received.  The Owner promptly shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Mortgagee such documents, if any, and shall promptly do and perform such acts, if any, as in the reasonable opinion of the Mortgagee or its counsel are necessary or advisable to facilitate or expedite the protection, maintenance and enforcement of the security created by this Mortgage;
 
(iii) exercise all the rights and remedies in foreclosure and otherwise provided to mortgagees by any applicable law, including the provisions of the Panamanian Maritime Laws or other applicable law, including the law of any jurisdiction where any Vessel may be found;

(vi) collect, recover, compromise and give a good discharge for all claims then outstanding or thereafter arising under the Insurances or any of them and to take over or institute (if necessary using the name of the Owner) all such proceedings in connection therewith as the Mortgagee reasonably thinks fit and to permit the brokers through whom collection or recovery is effected to charge the usual and customary brokerage therefor;
 
(vii) discharge, compound, release or compromise claims against the Owner concerning the Vessel that have given or may give rise to any Lien on the Vessel or that are or may be enforceable by proceedings against the Vessel;
 
(viii) take appropriate judicial, extra-judicial or administrative proceedings for the foreclosure of this Mortgage and/or for the enforcement of the rights of the Mortgagee hereunder or otherwise, recover judgment for any amount due on the Secured Obligations and collect the same out of any property of the Owner;
 
(ix) as permitted by the laws of the Republic of Panama and other applicable law, sell the Vessel at public auction, free from any claim of or by the Owner of any nature whatsoever by first giving notice of the time and place of sale with a general description of the Vessel in the following manner:
 
a. by publishing such notice for ten (10) consecutive days in a daily newspaper of general circulation published in New York City; and
 
b. if the place of sale should not be New York City, then also by publication of a similar notice in a daily newspaper, if any, published at the place of sale; and
 
c. by sending a similar notice by telecopy confirmed by mail to the Owner at least twenty (20) days before the date of sale as permitted by the laws of the Republic of Panama and other applicable law.
 
Such sale of the Vessel may be held at such place and at such time as the Mortgagee in such notices may have specified, or such sale may be adjourned by the Mortgagee from time to time by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale and without further notice or publication the Mortgagee may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned.  Such sale may be conducted without bringing the Vessel to the place designated for such sale and in such manner as the Mortgagee may deem advisable, and the Mortgagee or any holders of the Secured Obligations may become the purchaser(s) at such sale and shall have the right to a credit against the purchase price of any and all amounts due in respect of the Note, the Put Payment and/or any other Secured Obligations, as appropriate.  Any sale made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(b)(ix) shall be deemed made in a commercially reasonable manner insofar as the Owner is concerned;
 
 
17
 
 
(x) pending the sale of the Vessel (either directly or indirectly), as permitted by the laws of the Republic of Panama and other applicable law, manage, charter, lease, insure, maintain or repair the Vessel and employ, lay up, or stack the Vessel upon such terms, in such manner and for such period as the Mortgagee may reasonably deem expedient and for the purpose aforesaid the Mortgagee shall be entitled to do all acts and things incidental or conducive thereto and in particular to enter into such arrangements respecting the Vessel, their insurance, management, maintenance, operation, repair, classification and employment in all respects as if the Mortgagee were the owner of the Vessel but without any obligations to take any action with respect to the Vessel and without any responsibility for any loss thereby incurred;
 
(xi) recover from the Owner on demand any losses as may be incurred by the Mortgagee in the exercise of the power vested in the Mortgagee under this Section 7 with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date when such losses were incurred by the Mortgagee until full payment is received; and
 
(xii) recover from the Owner on demand all expenses, payments and disbursements (including documented fees and expenses of outside counsel) incurred by the Mortgagee in the exercise by it of any of the powers vested in it hereunder, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date when such expenses, payments or disbursements were incurred by it until indefeasible payment in full is received;
 
PROVIDED, ALWAYS, that any sale by the Mortgagee of the Vessel or any interest therein pursuant to this Section 7 shall operate to divest all right, title and interest of any nature whatsoever of the Owner, its successors and assigns, and all persons claiming by, through or under the Owner in or to the Vessel or such interest so sold and upon such sale the purchaser shall not be bound to see or inquire whether the power of sale of the Mortgagee has arisen in the manner herein provided and the sale shall be deemed to be within the power of the Mortgagee and the receipt by the Mortgagee of the purchase money shall effectively discharge the purchaser, who shall not be concerned with the manner of application of the proceeds of the sale or be in any way answerable therefor.  The Owner hereby irrevocably appoints the Mortgagee the true and lawful attorney of the Owner, in its name and stead, to make all necessary transfers of the whole or any part of the Vessel in connection with a sale, use or other disposition of any of the Vessel pursuant to this Section 7, and for that purpose to execute all necessary instruments of assignment and transfer.  Nevertheless, the Owner shall, if so requested by the Mortgagee, ratify and confirm any sale, assignment, transfer or delivery pursuant to this Section 7 by executing and delivering such proper bill of sale, assignment, conveyance, instrument of transfer or other instrument as may be designated by the Mortgagee in such request.
 
8. Application of Moneys.  The proceeds of any sale made either under the power of sale hereby granted to the Mortgagee or under a judgment or decree in any judicial proceeding for the foreclosure of this Mortgage, or proceeds arising from the enforcement of any remedy granted to the Mortgagee hereunder, or any net earnings arising from the management, charter or other use of the Vessel by the Mortgagee under any of the powers herein granted, or the proceeds of any and all Insurances and any claims for damages on account of the Vessel or the Owner of any nature whatsoever, and any net Earnings of the Vessel from the operation of the Vessel by the Mortgagee under any of the powers herein granted or by law provided, or any Requisition Compensation, shall be applied to the payment of the Note, the Put Payment and the other Secured Obligations.
 
 
18
 
 
9. Delay and Cure.  No delay or omission of the Mortgagee to exercise any right or power vested in it under this Mortgage shall impair such right or power or be construed as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default by the Owner hereunder or under any other Loan Document, nor shall the acceptance by the Mortgagee of any payments concerning this Mortgage from any source be deemed a waiver hereunder.  However, if at any time after an Event of Default and before the actual sale of the Vessel by the Mortgagee or before any foreclosure proceedings, the Owner cures completely and promptly all Events of Default and pays promptly all expenses, advances and damages to the Mortgagee arising from such Events of Default, with interest at the Default Rate from the date when such expenses, advances and damages were incurred until full payment is received, then the Mortgagee may accept such cure and payment and restore the Owner to its former position, but such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any rights consequent thereon.
 
10. Delegation of Mortgagee’s Powers.  The Mortgagee shall be entitled at any time and as often as may be expedient to delegate all or any of the powers and discretions vested in it by this Mortgage (including the power vested in it by virtue of Section 12) in such manner and upon such terms and to such persons as the Mortgagee in its absolute discretion may think fit.
 
11. Owner’s Indemnity.  Without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of the Mortgagee arising under this Mortgage, the Owner hereby agrees and undertakes to indemnify the Mortgagee, and its successors and permitted assigns, from and against any and all obligations and liabilities whatsoever and whensoever incurred by the Mortgagee in good faith in the enforcement of the Mortgagee’s rights hereunder; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to the Mortgagee, be available to the extent that such obligations and liabilities are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted solely from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful conduct of the Mortgagee.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Mortgagee shall not be responsible for any loss or damage caused as a result of the exercise, or failure to do so, of any rights and/or remedies provided in this Mortgage (except to the extent such loss or damage are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted solely from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Mortgagee).
 
12. Mortgagee Appointed Attorney-in-Fact; Authority to Act.
 
(a) The Owner hereby irrevocably appoints the Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest) for the duration of the term hereof, with full power to do in the name of the Owner or in the Mortgagee’s own name following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all acts that the Owner, or its successors or assigns, could do in relation to the Vessel, including, without limitation, to file any claims or to take any action or institute any proceed­ings that the Mortgagee may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises to demand, collect, receive, compromise, settle and sue for (insofar as the Mortgagee lawfully may), all Earnings of the Vessel and all amounts due from underwriters under the Insurances as payment for losses or as return of premiums or otherwise, salvage awards and recoveries, in general average or otherwise, and all other sums due or to become due to the Owner or with respect to the Vessel, and to make, give and execute in the name of the Owner acquittance, receipts, releases, or other discharges for the same, whether under seal or otherwise, to take possession of, sell or otherwise dispose of or manage or employ the Vessel, to execute and deliver charters and bills of sale for the Vessel, and to endorse and accept in the name of the Owner all checks, notes, drafts, warrants, agreements and all other instruments in writing with respect to the foregoing, to take any action and execute any instruments, which the Mortgagee may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof.
 
(b) The exercise by or on behalf of the Mortgagee of the power granted in this Section 11 shall not require any person dealing with the Mortgagee to conduct any inquiry as to whether any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, nor shall such person be in any way affected by notice that any Event of Default has not occurred nor is continuing, and the exercise by the Mortgagee of such power shall, with regard to such person only, be conclusive evidence of the Mortgagee’s right to exercise the same.
 
 
19
 
 
13. Arrest by a Third Party.  If the Vessel shall be arrested or detained by a marshal or other officer of any court of law, equity or admiralty jurisdiction in any country of the world or by any government or other authority, and the Vessel shall not be released from arrest or detention within fifteen (15) days from the date of arrest or detention, the Owner hereby authorizes the Mortgagee, in the name of the Owner, to apply for and receive possession of and to take possession of the Vessel with all of the rights and powers that the Owner might have, possess and exercise in any such event.  This authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.
 
14. Jurisdiction.  The Mortgagee shall have the right to commence proceedings in the courts of any country having jurisdiction over the Vessel. In particular, the Mortgagee shall have the right to arrest and take action against the Vessel at whatever place or places the Vessel shall be found lying before such courts or other competent judicial authority having jurisdiction over the Vessel.  The Owner agrees that for the purpose of proceedings against the Vessel, any writ, notice, judgment or other legal process or documents may be served upon the Master of the Vessel (or upon anyone acting as the Master) and that such service shall be deemed good service on the Owner for all purposes.
 
15. Concerning the Mortgagee.  (a) The Mortgagee shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking action, in accordance with this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. The Mortgagee may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith.  The Mortgagee may assign its rights under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and any other rights hereto and thereto without the consent of the Owner.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Mortgagee by a successor Mortgagee, that successor Mortgagee shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the assigning Mortgagee under this Mortgage, and the assigning Mortgagee shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Mortgage.  After any assigning Mortgagee’s resignation, the provisions of Article V of the Purchase Agreement and any comparable provisions in this Mortgage shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Mortgage while it was the Mortgagee.  The Owner shall execute and deliver such amendments or supplements to this Mortgage in such form and substance as may be reasonably necessary in the opinion of its counsel to reflect the appointment of the successor Mortgagee, and the reasonably documented, out-of-pocket expenses relating to the foregoing shall become an obligation secured by this Mortgage.
 
(b) The Mortgagee shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Mortgage and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it in good faith.
 
 
20
 
 
16. Severability of Provisions.  Any provision hereof which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.  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 mortgage herein contained is either wholly or partly defective, the Owner hereby undertakes to furnish the Mortgagee with an alternative mortgage or alternative security and/or to do all such other acts as, in the reasonable opinion of the Mortgagee, shall be required in order to ensure and give effect to the full intent of this Mortgage.
 
17. Further Assurance. The Owner hereby further undertakes at its own expense to execute, sign, perfect, do and (if required), register every such further assurance, document, act or thing reasonably necessary or advisable for the purpose of maintaining or perfecting or exercising the security constituted by this Mortgage.
 
18. Cumulative Remedies. Each and every power and remedy in this Mortgage specifically given to the Mortgagee shall be in addition to every other power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, admiralty, or by statute, and each and every power and remedy, whether specifically in this Mortgage given or otherwise existing, may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, and the exercise or the commencement of the exercise of any such power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other power or remedy under this Mortgage.
 
19. Amount of Mortgage.  The maximum principal amount secured by this Mortgage at any time is Two Million Nine Hundred Fifty-Eight Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Three and 30/100 United States Dollars (US$2,958,333.30) (which is the maximum principal amount that may be outstanding at any time under the Note plus the amount of the Put Payment (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) due pursuant to the Purchase Agreement).  In addition to principal, this Mortgage also secures interest, fees, costs and expenses of collection and other sums which are deemed to be secured by the relevant laws of the Republic of Panama as provided in this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.  The principal amount plus all outstanding interest due and owing under the Note shall be paid in full on the Maturity Date (the earlier of November 9, 2012 and the date all obligations and indebtedness under the Note and the other Loan Documents are accelerated).
