SEACOR HOLDINGS INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Unless the context otherwise indicates, any reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company” refers to SEACOR Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and any reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “SEACOR” refers to SEACOR Holdings Inc. without its consolidated subsidiaries. Capitalized terms used and not specifically defined herein have the same meaning given those terms in the Company's Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 .
The condensed consolidated financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 has been prepared by the Company and has not been audited by its independent registered certified public accounting firm. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SEACOR Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made to fairly present the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2019 , its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , its comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , its changes in equity for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 . Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year or any future periods.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 .
Adoption of New Accounting Standards. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Topic 842, Leases (“Topic 842”) using a modified prospective approach and implemented internal controls and systems to enable the preparation of financial information upon adoption. The Company elected the available practical expedients permitted under the guidance including the option to not separate lease and nonlease components in calculating the right-of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities and to not apply the recognition requirements of Topic 842 to short-term leases (leases that have a duration of twelve months or less at lease inception). Generally, it was not possible for the Company to determine the interest rate implicit in each of its operating leases and therefore used its incremental borrowing rate in calculating operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company assigned its leases to portfolios based on the remaining term at the time of adoption and applied a single rate to each portfolio of leases as the result was not materially different than using a specific discount rate for each individual lease. The Company included renewal options that were reasonably certain of being exercised in determining the lease term. Upon adoption, the Company recorded operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $174.6 million for certain of its equipment, office and land leases (see Note 5). In addition, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment of $25.4 million , net of tax, to the opening balance of retained earnings primarily for previously deferred gains related to sale leaseback transactions.
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory , which eliminates the deferral of the tax effects of intercompany asset sales other than inventory until the transferred assets are sold to a third party or recovered through use. As a result of the adoption of the standard, the deferred tax charges previously recognized from those sales resulted in a decrease in deferred tax assets and a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings of $2.5 million in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of changes in equity as of January 1, 2018.
Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when (or as) the Company transfers promised goods or services to its customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services, which occurs when (or as) the Company satisfies its contractual obligations and transfers control of the promised goods or services to its customers. Costs to obtain or fulfill a contract are expensed as incurred.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Ocean Services primarily earns revenues from voyage charters, contracts of affreightment, tariff based port and infrastructure services, unit freight logistics services, and technical ship management agreements with vessel owners (see Note 12). Ocean Services transfers control of the service to the customer and satisfies its performance obligation over the term of the contract, and therefore recognizes revenue over the term of the contract while related costs are expensed as incurred. Voyage charters are contracts to carry cargoes on a single voyage basis for a predetermined price, regardless of time to complete. Contracts of affreightment are contracts for cargoes that are committed on a multi-voyage basis for various periods of time, with minimum and maximum cargo tonnages specified over the period at a fixed or escalating rate per ton. Tariff based port and infrastructure services typically include operating harbor tugs alongside oceangoing vessels to escort them to their berth, assisting with the docking and undocking of these oceangoing vessels and escorting them back out to sea. They are contracted using prevailing port tariff terms on a per-use basis. In the unit freight logistics trade, transportation services typically include transporting shipping containers, rail cars, project cargoes, automobiles and U.S. military vehicles and are generally contracted

on a per unit basis for the specified cargo and destination, typically in accordance with a publicly available tariff rate or based on a negotiated rate when moving larger volumes over an extended period. Managed services include technical ship management agreements whereby Ocean Services provides technical ship management services to third-party customers for a predetermined price over a specified period of time, typically a year or more.
Inland Services primarily earns revenues from contracts of affreightment, terminal operations, fleeting operations and repair and maintenance services (see Note 12). Inland Services transfers control of the service to the customer and satisfies its performance obligation over the term of the contract, and therefore recognizes revenue over the term of the contract while related costs are expensed as incurred. Contracts of affreightment are contracts whereby customers are charged an established rate per ton to transport cargo from point-to-point. Terminal operations includes tank farms and dry bulk and container handling facilities that are marketed under contractual rates and terms driven by throughput volume. Fleeting operations includes fleeting services whereby barges are held in fleeting areas for an agreed-upon day rate and shifting services whereby harbor boats are used to pick up and drop off barges to assist in assembling tows and to move barges to and from the dock for loading and unloading at predetermined per-shift fees. Other operations primarily include a machine shop specializing in towboat and barge cleaning, repair and maintenance services that are charged on an hourly or a fixed fee basis depending on the scope and nature of the work.
Witt O’Brien’s primarily earns revenues from time and material and retainer contracts (see Note 12). Witt O’Brien’s transfers control of the service to the customer and satisfies its performance obligation over the term of the contract, and therefore recognizes revenue over the term of the contract while related costs are expensed as incurred. Time and material contracts primarily relate to emergency response, debris management or consulting services that Witt O’Brien’s performs for a predetermined fee. Retainer contracts, which are nearly all with vessel services operators and oil companies, are contracted based on agreed-upon rates.
The Company’s Other business segment includes CLEANCOR Energy Solutions LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively “Cleancor”), which primarily earns revenues from the sale of liquefied natural gas (see Note 12). Under these arrangements, control of the goods are transferred to the customer and performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, and therefore revenue is recognized upon delivery while any related costs are expensed as incurred.
Contract liabilities from contracts with customers arise when the Company has received consideration prior to performance and are included in other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s contract liability activity for the three months ended March 31 was as follows (in thousands):
 
2019
Balance at beginning of period
$
968

Contract liabilities arising during the period
7,351

Revenue recognized upon completion of performance obligations during the period
(408
)
Balance at end of period
$
7,911

Lease Revenues. The Company’s lease revenues are primarily from time charters, bareboat charters and non-vessel rental arrangements. The Company accounts for these leases as operating leases. The lease terms are included in the charter and rental arrangements, and the determination of whether those arrangements contain a lease generally does not require significant assumptions or judgments. The Company’s lease revenues do not include material amounts of variable payments and are recognized ratably over the lease term as services are provided, typically on a per day basis.
Under a time charter, the Company provides a vessel to a customer for a set term and is responsible for all operating expenses, typically excluding fuel. The non-lease components included in time charter rates are typically crewing, maintenance and insurance for the vessel over the term of the lease. Under a bareboat charter, the Company provides a vessel to a customer for a set term and the customer assumes responsibility for all operating expenses and risks of operation. Under non-vessel rental arrangements, the Company provides non-vessel property or equipment to a customer for a set term and the customer assumes responsibility for all operating expenses and risks of operation. There are no non-lease components for bareboat charters and non-vessel rental arrangements.
Lease revenues are generated from owned equipment as well as equipment that is leased-in from other equipment owners or financial institutions. Lease revenues from equipment that is leased-in are included in sublease income for the Company’s lessee disclosures (see Note 5). The Company’s leases generally do not provide an option for customers to purchase the leased equipment and lessees do not provide residual value guarantees. The Company expects to derive significant benefits from its equipment following the end of the lease terms.
Property and Equipment. Equipment, stated at cost, is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset to an estimated salvage value. With respect to each class of asset, the estimated useful life is based upon a newly built asset being placed into service and represents the time period beyond which it is typically not justifiable for the Company to continue to operate the asset in the same or similar manner. From time to time, the Company may acquire older assets

7


that have already exceeded their useful life as set forth in the Company’s useful life policy, in which case the Company depreciates such assets based on its best estimate of remaining useful life, typically the next survey or certification date.
As of March 31, 2019 , the estimated useful life (in years) of each of the Company’s major categories of new equipment was as follows:
Petroleum and chemical carriers - U.S.-flag
25
Bulk carriers - U.S.-flag
25
Harbor and offshore tugs
25
Ocean liquid tank barges
25
Short-sea container/RORO (1)   vessels

Roll On/Roll Off.
Equipment maintenance and repair costs including the costs of routine overhauls, dry-dockings and inspections performed on vessels and equipment are charged to operating expense as incurred. Expenditures that extend the useful life or improve the marketing and commercial characteristics of equipment as well as major renewals and improvements to other properties are capitalized.
As of March 31, 2019 , the Company’s construction in progress totaling $9.6 million primarily consisted of the construction of and upgrades to inland river towboats and the construction of other Inland Services equipment, and is included in historical cost in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Certain interest costs incurred during the construction of equipment are capitalized as part of the assets’ carrying values and are amortized over such assets’ estimated useful lives. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , the amount of capitalized interest was not material.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company performs an impairment analysis of long-lived assets used in operations, including intangible assets, when indicators of impairment are present. These indicators may include a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset or asset group, a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset or asset group is being used or in its physical condition, or a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset or asset group. If the carrying values of the assets are not recoverable, as determined by the estimated undiscounted cash flows, the estimated fair value of the assets or asset groups are compared to their current carrying value and impairment charges are recorded if the carrying value exceeds fair value. The Company performs its testing on an asset or asset group basis. The Company’s estimates of undiscounted cash flows are highly subjective and actual results may vary from the Company’s estimates due to the uncertainty regarding projected financial performance. Generally, fair value is determined using valuation techniques, such as expected discounted cash flows or appraisals, as appropriate. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , the Company did not recognize any impairment charges related to long-lived assets held for use.
Impairment of 50% or Less Owned Companies. Investments in 50% or less owned companies are reviewed periodically to assess whether there is an other-than-temporary decline in the carrying value of the investment. In its evaluation, the Company considers, among other items, recent and expected financial performance and returns, impairments recorded by the investee and the capital structure of the investee. When the Company determines the estimated fair value of an investment is below carrying value and the decline is other-than-temporary, the investment is written down to its estimated fair value. Actual results may vary from the Company’s estimates due to the uncertainty regarding projected financial performance, the severity and expected duration of declines in value and the available liquidity in the capital markets to support the continuing operations of the investee, among other factors. Although the Company believes its assumptions and estimates are reasonable, the investee’s actual performance compared with the estimates could produce different results and lead to additional impairment charges in future periods. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , the Company did not recognize any impairment charges related to its 50% or less owned companies.
Income Taxes. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company’s effective income tax rate of 12.4% was primarily due to foreign sourced income not subject to U.S. tax, taxes not provided on income attributable to noncontrolling interests and income subject to tonnage tax, partially offset by foreign taxes not creditable against U.S. income tax (see Note 6).

Deferred Gains. The Company has sold certain equipment to its 50% or less owned companies, entered into vessel sale-leaseback transactions with finance companies, and provided seller financing on sales of its equipment to third parties and its 50% or less owned companies. A portion of the gains realized from these transactions were deferred and recorded in deferred gains and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per common share of SEACOR is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the relevant periods. Diluted earnings per common share of SEACOR is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive securities through the application of the treasury stock and if-converted methods. Dilutive securities for this purpose assumes restricted stock grants have vested, common shares have been issued pursuant to the exercise of outstanding stock options and common shares have been issued pursuant to the conversion of all outstanding convertible notes.

New Accounting Pronouncements. On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards, which replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology for financial assets measured at amortized cost with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable

9


information, including forecasted information, to develop credit loss estimates. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has not yet determined what impact, if any, the adoption of the new standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On January 26, 2017, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards, which simplified wording and removed step two of the goodwill impairment test. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The FASB also eliminated the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform step two of the goodwill test. The new standard is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company has not yet determined what impact, if any, the adoption of the new standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or inputs derived from observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
As of March 31, 2019 , the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):

The estimated fair value includes the embedded conversion options on the Company’s 3.0% Convertible Senior Notes and 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes.
The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt and notes receivable from third parties was estimated based upon quoted market prices or by using discounted cash flow analyses based on estimated current rates for similar types of arrangements. It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of certain of the Company’s investments, at cost, in 50% or less owned companies because of the lack of quoted market prices and the inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs. Considerable judgment was required in developing certain of the estimates of fair value and, accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company received notification from the AMOPP that the Company’s withdrawal liability as of September 30, 2018 would have been $28.1 million based on an actuarial valuation performed as of that date. That liability may change in future years based on various factors, primarily employee census. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company has no intention to withdraw from the AMOPP and no deficit amounts have been invoiced. Depending upon the results of the future actuarial valuations and the ten-year rehabilitation plan, it is possible that the AMOPP will experience further funding deficits, requiring the Company to recognize additional payroll related operating expenses in the periods invoices are received or contribution levels are increased.

Subsequent to March 31, 2019 , the Company committed to purchase additional equipment for $1.5 million .
During 2012, the Company sold National Response Corporation (“NRC”), NRC Environmental Services Inc., SEACOR Response Ltd., and certain other subsidiaries to J.F. Lehman & Company, a private equity firm (the “SES Business Transaction”).
On December 15, 2010, O’Brien’s Response Management L.L.C. (“ORM”) and NRC were named as defendants in one of the several “master complaints” filed in the overall multi-district litigation relating to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response and clean-up in the Gulf of Mexico (the “DWH Response), which is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana (the “MDL”). The “B3” master complaint naming ORM and NRC asserted various claims on behalf of a putative class against multiple defendants concerning the clean-up activities generally and the use of dispersants specifically. Both prior to and following the filing of the aforementioned “B3” master complaint, individual civil actions naming the Company, ORM, and/or NRC alleging B3 exposure-based injuries and/or damages were consolidated with the MDL and stayed pursuant to court order. On February 16, 2016, all but eleven “B3” claims against ORM and NRC were dismissed with prejudice (the “B3 Dismissal Order”). On August 2, 2016, the Court granted an omnibus motion for summary judgment as it concerns ORM and NRC in its entirety, dismissing the remaining eleven plaintiffs’ claims against ORM and NRC with prejudice (the “Remaining Eleven Plaintiffs’ Dismissal Order”). The deadline to appeal both of these orders has expired. At present, there is only one remaining claim. On April 8, 2013, the Company, ORM, and NRC were named as defendants in William and Dianna Fitzgerald v. BP Exploration et al. , No. 2:13-CV-00650 (E.D. La.) (the “ Fitzgerald Action”), which is a suit by a husband and wife whose son allegedly participated in the clean-up effort and became ill as a result of his exposure to oil and dispersants. While the decedent in the Fitzgerald Action’s claims against ORM and NRC were dismissed by virtue of the Remaining Eleven Plaintiffs’ Dismissal Order, the claim as against the Company remains stayed. The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from this matter, to the extent it remains viable, but believes it is without merit and does not expect that it will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On February 18, 2011, Triton Asset Leasing GmbH, Transocean Holdings LLC, Transocean Offshore Deepwater Drilling Inc., and Transocean Deepwater Inc. (collectively “Transocean”) named ORM and NRC as third-party defendants in a Rule 14(c) Third-Party Complaint in Transocean’s own Limitation of Liability Act action, which is part of the overall MDL, tendering to ORM and NRC the claims in the “B3” master complaint that have already been asserted against ORM and NRC. Various contribution and indemnity cross-claims and counterclaims involving ORM and NRC were subsequently filed. The Company believes that the potential exposure, if any, resulting therefrom has been reduced as a result of the various developments in the MDL, including the B3 Dismissal Order and Remaining Eleven Plaintiffs’ Dismissal Order, and does not expect that these matters will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Separately, on March 2, 2012, the Court announced that BP Exploration and Production Inc. (“BPXP”) and BP America Production Company (“BP America,” and with BPXP, “BP”) and the Plaintiffs had reached an agreement on the terms of two proposed class action settlements that will resolve, among other things, Plaintiffs’ economic loss and property damage claims and clean-up related claims against BP. The Company, ORM, and NRC had no involvement in negotiating or agreeing to the terms of either settlement, nor are they parties or signatories thereto. The BP settlement pertaining to personal injury claims (the “Medical Settlement”) purported to resolve the “B3” claims asserted against BP and also established a right for class members to pursue individual claims against BP (but not ORM or NRC) for “later-manifested physical conditions,” defined in the Medical Settlement to be physical conditions that were “first diagnosed” after April 16, 2012 and which are claimed to have resulted from exposure during the DWH Response. The back-end litigation-option (“BELO”) provision of the Medical Settlement has specifically-delineated procedures and limitations, should any “B3” class member seek to invoke their BELO right. For example, there are limitations on the claims and defenses that can be asserted, as well as on the issues, elements, and proofs that may be litigated at any trial and the potential recovery for any Plaintiff. Notwithstanding that the Company, ORM, and NRC are listed on the Medical Settlement’s release as to claims asserted by Plaintiffs, the Medical Settlement still permits BP to seek indemnity from any party, to the extent BP has a valid indemnity right. The Medical Settlement was approved by the Court on January 11, 2013 and made effective on February 12, 2014. As of mid-April 2019, BP has tendered approximately 2,250 claims pursued pursuant to the Medical Settlement’s BELO provision for indemnity to ORM and approximately 210 such claims to NRC. ORM and NRC have rejected all of BP’s indemnity demands relating to the Medical Settlement’s BELO provision and on February 14, 2019 commenced a legal action against BPXP and BP America with respect to same. That action, captioned O’Brien’s Response Management, L.L.C. et al. v. BP Exploration & Production Inc. et al. , Case No. 2:19-CV-01418-CJB-JCW (E.D. La.) (the “Declaratory Judgment Action”), seeks declaratory relief that ORM and NRC owe BP no indemnity with respect to the exposure-based claims expressly contemplated by the Medical Settlement’s BELO provision, nor any contribution, in light of BP’s own actions and conduct over the past nine years (including its complete failure to even seek indemnity) and the resultant prejudice to ORM and NRC; that any indemnity or contribution rights BP may have once had with respect to these personal injury and exposure claims were extinguished once the Medical Settlement was approved by the MDL Court in 2013; and that the immunity already afforded to ORM and NRC via the B3 Dismissal Order and the Remaining Eleven Plaintiffs’ Dismissal Order operates to bar any indemnity or contribution claims against them by BP.  BP’s responsive pleading to the Complaint in the Declaratory Judgment Action is due on May 7, 2019.

15


The Court has also ordered the parties to participate in early mediation per BP’s request. Mediation is schedule for June 21, 2019 and the parties are in the process of exchanging information in advance of those proceedings.
BP has also similarly recently tendered personal injury claims to ORM and NRC that are being pursued by Plaintiffs who opted out of the Medical Settlement and who are thus proceeding with their “B3” claims in their ordinary course (as opposed to pursuant to the Medical Settlement’s BELO provision). Generally speaking, the Company, ORM, and NRC believe that BP’s indemnity demands with respect to any “B3” claims, including those involving Medical Settlement class members invoking BELO rights and those involving Medical Settlement opt-out Plaintiffs, are untimely and improper, and intend to vigorously defend their interests. Moreover, ORM has contractual indemnity coverage for the above-referenced claims through its separate agreements with sub-contractors that worked for ORM during the DWH Response and have preserved their rights in that regard while the Declaratory Judgment Action is pending. Overall, however, the Company believes that both of BP’s settlements have reduced the potential exposure in connection with the various cases relating to the DWH Response. The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these claims, but does not expect that they will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, it may agree to indemnify its counterparty to an agreement. If the indemnified party makes a successful claim for indemnification, the Company would be required to reimburse that party in accordance with the terms of the indemnification agreement. Indemnification agreements generally, but not always, are subject to threshold amounts, specified claim periods and other restrictions and limitations.
In connection with the SES Business Transaction, the Company remains contingently liable for work performed in connection with the DWH Response. Pursuant to the agreement governing the sale, the Company’s potential liability to the purchaser may not exceed the consideration received by the Company for the SES Business Transaction. The Company is currently indemnified under contractual agreements with BP for the potential “B3” liabilities relating to the DWH Response; this indemnification is unrelated to, and thus not impacted by, the indemnification BP has demanded and discussed above.
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company becomes involved in various other litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages and personal injuries. Management has used estimates in determining the Company’s potential exposure to these matters and has recorded reserves in its financial statements related thereto where appropriate. It is possible that a change in the Company’s estimates of that exposure could occur, but the Company does not expect such changes in estimated costs would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

12. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Accounting standards require public business enterprises to report information about each of their operating business segments that exceed certain quantitative thresholds or meet certain other reporting requirements. Operating business segments have been defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s basis of measurement of segment profit or loss is as previously defined in the Company’s Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 . Accounting standards also require companies to disaggregate revenues from contracts with customers into categories to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The following tables summarize the operating results, capital expenditures assets and disaggregated revenues of the Company’s reportable segments.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain statements discussed in this Form 10-Q as well as in other reports, materials and oral statements that the Company releases from time to time constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “plan,” “target,” “forecast” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements concern management’s expectations, strategic objectives, business prospects, anticipated economic performance and financial condition and other similar matters.

Includes MSP revenues of $3.1 million and $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively.
Operating Revenues . Operating revenues were $6.9 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter.
Operating revenues from bulk transportation services were $3.7 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter.
Operating revenues from petroleum and chemical transportation were $2.0 million lower primarily due to the return of one previously leased-in U.S.-flag petroleum and chemical carrier in the Current Year Quarter and the sale of another U.S.-flag petroleum and chemical carrier in the Prior Year Quarter. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the time charter rate for one U.S.-flag petroleum and chemical carrier in the Current Year Quarter and a change in contract status from voyage charter to time charter in the fourth quarter of 2018 for another U.S.-flag petroleum and chemical carrier.
Operating revenues from dry bulk transportation were $1.7 million lower primarily due to out-of-service time for repairs of one U.S.-flag bulk carrier.
Operating revenues from port and infrastructure services were $2.9 million higher primarily due to an increase in harbor towing tariff revenues primarily due to higher port traffic.
Operating revenues from logistics services were $7.6 million higher primarily due to an increase in military and commercial cargo activity and an increase in unit freight shipping demand.
Operating Expenses . Operating expenses were $4.6 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to the regulatory dry-docking of one PCTC and one short-sea container/RORO vessel, higher voyage costs for PCTCs and higher leased-in equipment costs for harbor tugs associated with the increased revenues. These increases were partially offset by the return of one leased-in U.S.-flag petroleum and chemical carrier in the Current Year Quarter, the sale of one U.S.-flag petroleum and chemical carrier in the Prior Year Quarter and lower dry-docking activity for U.S.-flag bulk carriers.
Administrative and General. Administrative and general expenses were $0.4 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to lower legal and professional fees.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $2.3 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to the U.S.-flag bulk carriers being fully depreciated during 2018.

Table of Contents

Gains on Asset Dispositions. During the Prior Year Quarter, the Company sold one U.S.-flag petroleum and chemical carrier, one U.S.-flag harbor tug and other equipment for net proceeds of $5.0 million and gains of $1.9 million.
Operating Income. Excluding gains on asset dispositions, operating income as a percentage of operating revenues was 17% in the Current Year Quarter compared with 13% in the Prior Year Quarter. The improvement was primarily due to an increase in the time charter rate for one U.S.-flag petroleum and chemical carrier in the Current Year Quarter and higher revenues for PCTCs, partially offset by higher regulatory dry-docking costs.

Operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 includes $20.2 million and $15.4 million , respectively, attributable to third-party barge owners participating in dry-cargo barge pools managed by the Company.
Operating Revenues. Operating revenues were $9.7 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter.
Operating revenues from bulk transportation services were $9.4 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues from the dry-cargo barge pools were $8.9 million higher primarily due to higher freight rates and more demurrage and storage revenues as a consequence of difficult operating conditions on the U.S. inland waterways resulting from ice and high water. In addition, the dry-cargo barge pools increased the number of barges chartered out to third parties that were used to move frac sand. Operating revenues from boat, specialty barge and other operations were $0.7 million higher primarily due to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard.
Operating revenues from port and infrastructure services were $0.5 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues from terminal operations were $0.4 million lower primarily due to the expiration of a long-term liquid terminal contract during the third quarter of 2018.
Operating revenues from logistics services were $0.7 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to an increase in container movements .
Operating Expenses . Operating expenses were $6.1 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. Barge logistics expenses were $0.5 million lower primarily due to lower towing and switching costs as a consequence of poor operating conditions on the U.S. Inland Waterways. Repairs and maintenance costs were $0.3 million lower primarily due to fewer unscheduled repairs in the Current Year Quarter. Insurance and loss reserves were $0.4 million higher primarily due to higher insurance claims deductibles accrued in the Current Year Quarter. Leased-in equipment expense was $1.7 million higher primarily due to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard. Other operating expenses were $0.8 million higher primarily due to increased container movements.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $0.5 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter as a result of certain liquid terminal assets being fully depreciated during 2018.
Gains on Asset Dispositions. During the Current Year Quarter, the Company recognized previously deferred gains of $0.3 million. During the Prior Year Quarter, the Company sold 32 dry-cargo barges, two specialty barges and other equipment for net proceeds of $10.8 million and gains of $4.6 million, all of which were recognized currently. In addition, the Company recognized previously deferred gains of $0.5 million.
Operating Income. Excluding gains on asset dispositions, operating income as a percentage of operating revenues was 3% in the Current Year Quarter compared with operating loss as a percentage of operating revenues of 3% in the Prior Year Quarter. The improvement was primarily due to higher earnings from the dry-cargo barge pools.

Foreign currency gains, net. During the Current Year Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, foreign currency gains were primarily due to a strengthening of the Colombian peso in relation to the U.S. dollar underlying certain of the Company’s intercompany lease obligations.

Sources of liquidity are cash balances, marketable securities, construction reserve funds, cash flows from operations and availability under the SEACOR Revolving Credit Facility.

Short and Long-Term Liquidity Requirements
The Company anticipates it will continue to generate positive cash flows from operations and that these cash flows will be adequate to meet the Company’s working capital requirements. In support of the Company’s capital expenditure program and debt service requirements, the Company believes that a combination of cash balances on hand, cash generated from operating activities, funding available under the SEACOR Revolving Credit Facility and existing subsidiary financing arrangements as well as access to the credit and capital markets will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations. The Company continually evaluates possible acquisitions and dispositions of certain businesses and assets. The Company’s sources of liquidity may be impacted by the general condition of the markets in which it operates and the broader economy as a whole, which may limit its access to the credit and capital markets on acceptable terms. Management will continue to closely monitor the Company’s liquidity and the credit and capital markets.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
For a discussion of the Company's off-balance sheet arrangements, refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 . There has been no material change in the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements during the Current Year Quarter . In addition, the Company has issued letters of credit or guaranteed the payments of amounts owed under certain sale-leaseback transactions, equipment financing and multi-employer pension obligations on behalf of SEACOR Marine.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 .

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
With the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2019 . Based on their evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2019 .
The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those internal control systems determined to be effective can provide only a level of reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except for the addition of certain controls in connection with the adoption of Financial Accounting Standard Board Topic 842, Leases , there were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

If the Borrower shall elect to convert any particular Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.3 from one Type of Loan to the other only in part, then, from and after the date on which such conversion shall be effective, such particular Borrowing shall, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, for purposes of subsequent application of this sentence) be deemed to instead constitute two Borrowings (each originally advanced on the same date as such particular Borrowing), one comprised of (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Eurodollar Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such Borrowing so elected by the Borrower to be comprised of Eurodollar Loans and the second comprised of (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Base Rate Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such particular Borrowing so elected by the Borrower to be comprised of Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower shall elect to have multiple Interest Periods apply to any such particular Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Loans, then, from and after the date such multiple Interest Periods commence, such particular Borrowing shall, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, for purposes of subsequent application of this sentence), be deemed to constitute a number of separate Borrowings (each originally commencing on the same date as such particular Borrowing) equal to the number of, and corresponding to, the different Interest Periods so selected,


30
        


each such deemed separate Borrowing corresponding to a particular selected Interest Period comprised of (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Eurodollar Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such particular Borrowing so elected by the Borrower to have such Interest Period. This Section 2.3(f) shall be applied appropriately in the event that the Borrower shall make the elections described in the two preceding sentences at the same time with respect to the same particular Borrowing.
Section 2.4      Interest Periods . As provided in Section 2.3 , at the time of each request for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, or for the continuation or conversion of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower shall select the Interest Period(s) to be applicable to such Loans from among the available options, subject to the limitations in Section 2.3 ; provided , however , that:
(a)     no Interest Period may be selected that extends beyond the Commitment Termination Date.
(b)     whenever the last day of any Interest Period would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the last day of such Interest Period shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day; provided , however , that if the next succeeding Business Day is in the next calendar month, the last day of such Interest Period shall be the immediately preceding Business Day; and
(c)     for purposes of determining an Interest Period, a month means a period starting on one day in a calendar month and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the next calendar month; provided , however , that if there is no such numerically corresponding day in the month in which an Interest Period is to end or if an Interest Period begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month, then such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month in which such Interest Period is to end.
Section 2.5      Funding of Loans .
(a)      Disbursement of Loans . Not later than 12:00 P.M. with respect to Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans, and 2:00 P.M. with respect to Borrowings of Base Rate Loans, on the date of any requested advance of a new Borrowing of Loans, each Lender, subject to all other provisions hereof, shall make available for the account of its applicable Lending Office its Loans comprising its portion of such Borrowing in funds immediately available for the benefit of the Administrative Agent in the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account and according to the payment instructions of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly make the proceeds of each such Borrowing available in immediately available funds to the Borrower (or as directed in writing by the Borrower) on such date. In the event that any Lender does not make such amounts available to the Administrative Agent by the time prescribed above, but such amount is received later that day, such amount shall nevertheless be promptly credited to the Borrower in the manner described in the preceding sentence (and if such credit is made on the next Business Day, with interest on such amount to begin accruing hereunder on such next Business Day); provided that acceptance by the Borrower of any such late amount shall not be deemed a waiver by the Borrower of any rights it may have against such Lender. No Lender shall be responsible to the Borrower for any failure by another Lender to fund its portion of a Borrowing, and no such failure by a Lender shall relieve any other Lender from its obligation, if any, to fund its portion of a Borrowing.
(b)      Administrative Agent Reliance on Lender Funding . Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to the time at which such Lender is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such


31
        


Lender has made such payment when due and in reliance upon such assumption may (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower the proceeds of the Loan to be made by such Lender and, if any Lender has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to the Borrower attributable to such Lender together with interest thereon for each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the date such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the Administrative Agent’s cost of funds for such amount. If such amount is not received from such Lender by the Administrative Agent immediately upon demand, the Borrower will, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of the Loan attributable to such Lender with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan, but the Borrower will in no event be liable to pay any amounts otherwise due pursuant to Section 2.11 in respect of such repayment. Nothing in this Section 2.5(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from any obligation to fund any Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
(c)      Source of Funding Options . Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan available to the Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 2.6      Applicable Interest Rates .
(a)      Base Rate Loans . Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 365-day year or 366-day year, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed including the first day but excluding the date of repayment) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or conversion to a Eurodollar Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate or (ii) the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin. The Borrower agrees to pay such interest on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).
(b)      Eurodollar Loans . Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed including the first day but excluding the date of repayment) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or conversion to a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate or (ii) the sum of Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin. The Borrower agrees to pay such interest on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or, in the case of, conversion to a Base Rate Loan on a day prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, on the date of such conversion.
(c)      Rate Determinations . The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations hereunder insofar as such interest rate involves a determination of Base Rate, Adjusted LIBOR, LIBOR or LIBOR Market Index Rate, or any applicable default rate pursuant to Section 2.7 , and such determination shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of the Administrative Agent’s manifest error or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and each Lender of each determination of Adjusted LIBOR with respect to each Eurodollar Loan.
Section 2.7      Default Rate . If any payment of principal or interest on any Loan is not made when due after the expiration of the grace period therefor provided in Section 8.1(a) (whether by acceleration or otherwise), or any Reimbursement Obligation is not paid when due as provided in Section 2.12(c) , such past


32
        


due Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 360, 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and actual days elapsed) after any such grace period expires until such principal then due is paid in full, which the Borrower agrees to pay on demand, at a rate per annum equal to:
(a)     for any Base Rate Loan, the lesser of (A) the Highest Lawful Rate and (B) the sum of two percent (2%) per annum plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect (but not less than the Base Rate in effect at the time such payment was due) plus the Applicable Margin.
(b)     for any Eurodollar Loan, the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate and (ii) the sum of two percent (2%) per annum plus the rate of interest (inclusive of the Applicable Margin) in effect thereon at the time of such default until the end of the Interest Period for such Loan and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of two percent (2%) per annum plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect (but not less than the Base Rate in effect at the time such payment was due) plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans; and
(c)     for any unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate and (ii) the sum of two percent (2%) per annum plus (x) in the case of any Reimbursement Obligations payable in Dollars, the Base Rate from time to time in effect (but not less than the Base Rate in effect at the time such payment was due) plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans, or (y) in the case of any Reimbursement Obligations payable in any currency other than Dollars, the interest rate (inclusive of the Applicable Margin) that would otherwise then be applicable under this Agreement to a Eurodollar Loan for an Interest Period of one month as from time to time in effect (but not less than such interest rate in effect at the time such payment was due).
It is the intention of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to conform strictly to usury laws applicable to them. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or any Loan or other Obligation would be usurious as to any of the Lenders under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America, including to the extent applicable, 46 U.S.C. Section 31322(b), and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under laws applicable to such Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Lender under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document or otherwise shall under no circumstances exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, and any excess shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Loans or to the Reimbursement Obligations (or, if the principal amount of the Loans and all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Loans is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder or holders thereof resulting from any Event of Default hereunder or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under laws applicable to such Lender may never include more than the Highest Lawful Rate, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement, the Notes, any other Credit Document or otherwise shall be automatically canceled by such Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Loans or to the Reimbursement Obligations (or if the principal amount of the Loans and all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower).
Section 2.8      Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt .


33
        


(a)      Repayment of Loans . The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, on the Commitment Termination Date, the unpaid amount of each Loan made by such Lender to the Borrower then outstanding.
(b)      Record of Loans by Lenders . Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made to the Borrower by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and accrued interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(c)      Record of Loans by Administrative Agent . The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and, with respect to Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or accrued interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d)      Evidence of Obligations . The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.8(b) or (c) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e)      Notes . The Loans outstanding to the Borrower from any Lender shall, at the written request of such Lender, be evidenced by a Note of the Borrower payable to such Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.8 (each, a “ Revolving Note ”) .

Any such prepayments shall be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and, with respect to any Eurodollar Loans, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such prepayment.

(b)      Issuance and Incurrence of Indebtedness .

then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss, cost or expense. If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the Borrower a certificate executed by an officer of such Lender setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense) no later than ninety (90) days after the event giving rise to the claim for compensation, and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error of such Lender’s entitlement thereto.

Letters of Credit and any increases and extensions thereof hereunder shall be issued in face amounts denominated in Dollars.
(b)      Issuance Procedure .


36
        


(i)     To request that an Issuing Bank issue a Letter of Credit, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of the requested issuance (or such shorter period of time as such Issuing Bank may reasonably agree to in its sole discretion), the Borrower shall deliver to such Issuing Bank (x) a duly executed application for such Letter of Credit substantially in such Issuing Bank’s customary form or in such other form as may be approved by the Borrower and such Issuing Bank or complete such other computerized issuance or application procedure, instituted from time to time by such Issuing Bank and agreed to by the Borrower (each, an “ Application ”), appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower and including agreed-upon draft language for such Letter of Credit reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, in each case, completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing Bank, and (y) such other information as such Issuing Bank may reasonably request in accordance with its customary letter of credit issuance procedures, including information that would permit such Issuing Bank to verify the beneficiary’s identity or to comply with any applicable law or regulations, including any Sanctions. Upon the receipt by the applicable Issuing Bank of a properly completed and, if applicable, executed Application and any other reasonably requested information in accordance with the terms of the preceding sentence, such Issuing Bank will process such Application in accordance with its customary procedures and issue the requested Letter of Credit on the requested issuance date. In the event of any irreconcilable conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and an Application, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. Unless the applicable Issuing Bank has received notice from the Administrative Agent prior to the requested issuance that any of the conditions to issuance (whether set forth herein, in Section 4.2 or otherwise) have not been satisfied, the applicable Issuing Bank may assume that all such conditions have been satisfied. The Borrower requesting the issuance of any Letter of Credit may cancel such request to issue such Letter of Credit at any time prior to the actual issuance thereof by providing the applicable Issuing Bank with written notice thereof; provided , that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall remain liable to such Issuing Bank for all costs and expenses reasonably Incurred by such Issuing Bank in connection therewith. Unless cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Bank or other arrangements satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Bank (in such Issuing Bank’s sole discretion) with respect thereto have been made as provided below and a later date is otherwise agreed to by the applicable Issuing Bank, each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date no later than five (5) Business Days before the Commitment Termination Date. Each Issuing Bank that issues a Letter of Credit agrees to issue amendments to any Letter of Credit increasing its amount, or extending its expiration date, at the request of the Borrower, subject to the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.2 (which each Issuing Bank may assume are satisfied unless notified otherwise by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 2.12(b) ) and the other terms and conditions of this Section 2.12 .
(ii)     If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Application and, in any event, in the case of Letters of Credit with a one-year tenor, the relevant Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “ Auto-Extension Letter of Credit ”); provided that (A) any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued (and, unless an Event of Default is continuing, such Issuing Bank shall give such notice of non-extension to the beneficiary if so directed by the Borrower) and (B) the Issuing Bank will not permit the extension of any Letter of Credit that would result in the expiration date of such Letter of Credit being later than the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date, unless such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized or other arrangements satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Bank (in such Issuing Bank’s sole discretion) with respect thereto have been made as provided below and a later date is otherwise agreed to by the applicable Issuing Bank. Unless otherwise notified to the Borrower by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension


37
        


Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the earlier of (A) one year from the date of such issuance or an anniversary of any such extension and (B) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date (unless such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized or other arrangements satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Bank (in such Issuing Bank’s sole discretion) with respect thereto have been made as provided below and a later date is otherwise agreed to by the applicable Issuing Bank); provided that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (x) such Issuing Bank has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its extended form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.12 or otherwise), or (y) it has received notice on or before the day that is two (2) Business Days before the date which has been agreed upon pursuant to the proviso of the first sentence of this Section 2.12(b)(ii) , from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.2 are not then satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Letter of Credit (including an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit) may have an expiration date later than the date that is five (5) Business Days before the Commitment Termination Date, if (A) the Borrower requesting such Letter of Credit shall provide, no later than the Commitment Termination Date, (x) cash collateral to the applicable Issuing Bank in an amount equal to 105% of the undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit or (y) a back-to-back letter of credit in form and substance satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank (in its sole discretion) in an amount equal to 105% of the undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit from a bank or financial institution reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank and which provides that such Issuing Bank may make a drawing thereunder in the event that such Issuing Bank pays a drawing under such Letter of Credit or (B) other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank in its sole discretion shall have been made with respect to such Letter of Credit; provided, each Lender’s participation under Section 2.12(d) in any such Letter of Credit shall revert to such Issuing Bank on the Commitment Termination Date, and no Lender shall be entitled to any Letter of Credit fees pursuant to Section 3.1(b) on and after the Commitment Termination Date.
(c)      Reimbursement Obligations, etc .
(i)     The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to reimburse each Issuing Bank for each payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit requested by the Borrower (a “ Reimbursement Obligation ”) within two (2) Business Days of the date that the Borrower receives notice from such Issuing Bank that such draft has been paid or such other payment has been made (and such Issuing Bank hereby agrees to give the Borrower such notice within one (1) Business Day after such draft is drawn or such other payment is made, provided, however, that the failure of such Issuing Bank to provide notice within such time period shall not release Borrower from its Reimbursement Obligations). Reimbursement Obligations may be reimbursed by the Borrower with either funds not borrowed hereunder or with a Borrowing of Loans in accordance with Section 2.3 (including paragraph (e) thereof) and subject to the other applicable terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. Reimbursement Obligations shall bear interest (which the Borrower hereby promises to pay) from and after the date such draft is paid or other payment is made until (but excluding the date) such Reimbursement Obligation is paid at the lesser of (A) the Highest Lawful Rate and (B) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin (in the case of a Reimbursement Obligation payable in Dollars) or the rate of interest that would then be applicable hereunder to an Eurodollar Loan with an Interest Period of one month plus the Applicable Margin, in each case so long as such Reimbursement Obligation shall not be past due, and thereafter at the default rate per annum as set forth in Section 2.7(c) , whether or not the Commitment Termination Date shall have occurred.
(ii)     In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary(ies) thereof, the parties hereto agree that, with respect to drafts or other documents


38
        


presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its reasonable discretion, either accept and make payment upon such drafts or other documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that in respect of any Letter of Credit that contains a non-documentary condition, including any determination as to whether the Borrower or other Person performed or failed to perform obligations under any contract, the applicable Issuing Bank shall deem such condition as not stated and shall disregard such condition.
(iii)     The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit with respect to its or any Credit Party’s use of such Letter of Credit. Neither an Issuing Bank nor any of its respective officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any proceeds therefrom or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; or (c) any other circumstances (whether or not similar to any of the foregoing) whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, including such Issuing Bank’s own negligence, but not for such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(iv)     The Borrower agrees for the benefit of each Issuing Bank and each Lender that, notwithstanding any provision of any Application, the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.12(c) and each applicable Application shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each applicable Application under all circumstances whatsoever (other than the defense of payment in full in accordance with this Agreement), including, the following circumstances (subject in all cases to the defense of payment in full in accordance with this Agreement):
(A)     any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the L/C Documents;
(B)     any amendment or waiver of or any consent to depart from all or any of the provisions of any of the L/C Documents;
(C)     the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any person for whom a beneficiary may be acting), an Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, another L/C Document or any unrelated transaction;
(D)     any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(E)     payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation to such Issuing Bank of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit; or
(F)     any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.12(c) , constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder or under an Application;


39
        


provided , however , the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (but excluding special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, which are hereby waived to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(d)      The Participating Interests . Immediately upon the issuance or increase of each Letter of Credit, without any further action by any Person, each Lender severally and not jointly shall be deemed to have purchased from each Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold to each Lender, an undivided percentage participating interest, to the extent of its Applicable Percentage in each Letter of Credit issued or increased by, and Reimbursement Obligation owed to, such Issuing Bank in connection with a Letter of Credit. Upon any failure by the Borrower to pay any Reimbursement Obligation in connection with a Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank at the time required in Sections 2.12(c) and 2.3(e) , or if such Issuing Bank is required at any time to return to the Borrower or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other Person any portion of any payment by the Borrower of any Reimbursement Obligation in connection with a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall promptly give notice of same to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to each Lender. Such Issuing Bank shall have the right to require each Lender to fund its participation in such Reimbursement Obligation. Each Lender (except the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit, if it is also a Lender) shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such unpaid or recaptured Reimbursement Obligation not later than the Business Day it receives notice from the Administrative Agent to such effect, if such notice is received before 2:00 P.M., or not later than the following Business Day if such notice is received after such time. The Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such amounts to such Issuing Bank. If a Lender fails to pay timely such amount to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, it shall also pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank interest on such amount accrued from the date payment of such amount was made by such Issuing Bank to the date of such payment by the Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect for each such day and only after such payment shall such Lender be entitled to receive its Applicable Percentage of each payment received on the relevant Reimbursement Obligation and of interest paid thereon. The Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such amounts to such Issuing Bank. The several obligations of the Lenders to the Issuing Banks under this Section 2.12(d) shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment any Lender may have or have had against the Borrower, any Issuing Bank, any other Lender or any other Person whatsoever including any defense based on or related to (i) the failure of the demand for payment under the Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of such Letter of Credit, (ii) the legality, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, (iii) force majeure or (iv) ANY DEFENSE RESULTING FROM AN ISSUING BANK’S OWN SIMPLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default or Event of Default or by any subsequent reduction or termination of any Commitment of a Lender, and each payment by a Lender under this Section 2.12 shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(e)      Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Obligation Amounts . Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Obligation at any time shall be deemed to be, respectively, the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time or the amount of Reimbursement Obligation outstanding at such time; provided , however , that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Application related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum


40
        


stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.
(f)      Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries . Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance (or increase or extension) of Letters of Credit for the account of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the issuance (or increase or extension) of such Letters of Credit and the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
(g)      Letter of Credit Fronting Exposure . If, at any time there shall exist any Fronting Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit, then the Borrower shall, if the full amount of such Fronting Exposure has not been reallocated pursuant to Section 2.16(a)(iv) , promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, take one or more of the following actions as the Borrower may elect: (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent cash (with respect to each Letter of Credit in the same currency as the currency in which such Letter of Credit is issued) or Cash Equivalent Collateral to secure such unallocated Fronting Exposure in accordance with Section 8.4(b) and/or (ii) enter into other arrangements satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (in such Issuing Bank’s sole discretion, including pursuant to Section 9.5 ) with the Issuing Bank to eliminate such Fronting Exposure.
Section 2.13      Reductions and Terminations of the Commitments . The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon three (3) Business Days’ prior and irrevocable written notice ( provided , such notice may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the closing of one or more securities offerings, in which case such notice shall be deemed rescinded if such condition shall fail to be satisfied by the proposed Closing Date of such commitment termination, provided , further , that upon any such rescission, the Borrower shall be liable for any breakage fees and funding losses that are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11 ) to the Administrative Agent, to terminate or reduce the Commitments, in each case without premium or penalty and in whole or in part, with any partial reduction (i) to be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 as determined by the Borrower and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) as to the Commitments, to be allocated ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments; provided , that the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount may not be reduced to an amount less than the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders, after giving effect to payments on such proposed termination or reduction date; provided , however , that for purposes of determining the amount of L/C Obligations in the immediately preceding proviso, such L/C Obligations may be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of (a) cash and Cash Equivalent Collateral deposited with the Administrative Agent for the purpose of securing such L/C Obligations and (b) the face amount of back-to-back letters of credit issued in connection with one or more Letters of Credit included in such L/C Obligations by a bank(s) or financial institution(s) whose short-term unsecured debt rating is rated A or above by either S&P or Moody’s or such other bank(s) or financial institution(s) satisfactory to the Required Lenders with an expiration date of at least five (5) days after the expiration date of the applicable backstopped Letter of Credit and which provides that the Administrative Agent may make a drawing thereunder in the event that a drawing is made under the applicable backstopped Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of any such termination or reduction of the Commitments. Any termination of Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.13 is permanent and may not be reinstated.
Section 2.14      Incremental; Increase of the Commitments .
(a)     The Borrower shall have the right to increase the Commitment by obtaining additional Commitments, either from one or more of the Lenders or another lending institution provided


41
        


that, (i) the Borrower must deliver any request for an increase in writing to the Administrative Agent no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the proposed incurrence of the increased Commitment, (ii) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, (iii) after giving effect thereto, the sum of the total of the incremental Commitments does not exceed $75,000,000 and the sum of the aggregate Commitments under the Facility does not exceed $200,000,000, (iv) the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks have approved the identity of any such new Lender, such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld, (v) any such new Lender assumes all of the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder, and (vi) the procedure described in Section 2.14(b) has been satisfied. Nothing contained in this Section 2.14 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder at any time.
(b)     Any amendment required hereto for such an increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall only require the written signatures of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Lender being added or increasing its Commitment. As a condition precedent to such an increase or addition, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) a certificate of each Credit Party signed by an authorized officer of such Credit Party (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Credit Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (B) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase or addition, (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Credit Documents are true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though made on and as of the date of such increase or addition (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date, and that any representation or warranty which is subject to any materiality qualifier shall be required to be true and correct in all respects), (2) no Default exists and (3) the Borrower is in compliance (on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to any additional Borrowings to be made on the effective date of such increase or addition) with any then operative covenant contained in Sections 7.3 and 7.7 and (ii) legal opinions and documents consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.
(c)     On the effective date of any such increase or addition, (i) any Lender increasing (or, in the case of any newly added Lender, extending) its Commitment shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase or addition and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Loans of all the Lenders to equal its revised Applicable Percentage of such outstanding Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall make such other adjustments among the Lenders with respect to the Loans then outstanding and amounts of principal, interest, Commitment Fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as shall be necessary, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, in order to effect such reallocation and (ii) to the extent necessary to implement the matters set forth in clause (i) above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Loans as of the date of any increase (or addition) in the Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.3 ). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.11 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods. Within a reasonable time after the effective date of any increase or addition, the Administrative Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, revise Annex 1 to reflect such increase or addition and shall distribute such revised


42
        


Annex 1 to each of the Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon such revised Annex 1 shall replace the old Annex 1 and become part of this Agreement.
Section 2.15      Alternative Rate of Interest .
(a)     If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:
(i)     the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR or the LIBOR, as applicable (including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period; or
(ii)     the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBOR or LIBOR, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period,
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders via telephone or Electronic Platform or electronic mail as provided in Section 11.7 as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the provisions of clause (c) of this Section 2.15 shall apply.
(b)     If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in Section 2.15 (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause Section 2.15  (a)(i) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement (w) that the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate is insolvent, (x) identifying a specific date when the LIBOR Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator identified by it), (y) identifying a specific date when the LIBOR Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBOR that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.2 , such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest and other related changes (including, to the extent necessary, corresponding changes to the definition of “Applicable Margin” and other definitions referenced therein) is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.
(c)     Until an alternative rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.15 (a) or Section 2.15 (b) above (but, in the case of the circumstances described in sub-sections (w), (x) and (y) of the first sentence of Section 2.15(b)(ii), only to the extent the LIBOR Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (y) if any Notice of Borrowing Request requests a Borrowing of a Eurodollar Loan, such Borrowing shall


43
        


be made as an Base Rate Loan, provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.
Section 2.16      Defaulting Lenders .
(a)      Adjustments . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i)      Waivers and Amendments . Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.10(a) .
(ii)      Reallocation of Payments . Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.6 ), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first , to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second , to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks hereunder; third , if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Issuing Banks, to be held as collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth , as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth , if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth , to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Banks against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh , so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to a Credit Party as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Credit Party against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth , to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or Reimbursement Obligations were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held to be applied) pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall have no recourse to any Credit Party for the payment of such amounts, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto and the application of such payments in accordance with this Section 2.16(a)(ii) shall not constitute an Event of Default or a Default, and no payment of principal of or interest on the Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall be considered to be overdue for purposes of any Credit Document, if, had such payments been applied without regard to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) , no such Event of Default or Default would have occurred and no such payment of principal of or interest on the Loans of such Defaulting Lender would have been overdue.


44
        


(iii)      Certain Fees . The Commitment Fees under Section 3.1(a) shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any letter of credit fees under Section 3.1(b) , in each case for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fees that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).
(iv)      Reallocation of Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure . During any period in which there is a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender that is a Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.12 , the “Commitment” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided that, the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (A) the Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender minus (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure of such non-Defaulting Lender.
(b)      Defaulting Lender Cure . If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and with respect to a Lender and the Issuing Banks agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the Closing Date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the outstanding Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) ), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Credit Party while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided , further , that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder in any Lender’s status from Defaulting Lender to non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)      No Waiver . The rights and remedies against, and with respect to, a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.16(c) are in addition to, and cumulative and not in limitation of, all other rights and remedies that the Administrative Agent and each Lender, Issuing Bank, the Borrower or any other Credit Party may at any time have against, or with respect to, such Defaulting Lender.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by any Issuing Bank or any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any Issuing Bank or any Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by a Lender, an Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent in connection with any such designation or assignment.

In addition, any Lender or Issuing Bank, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (ii)(A) and (B) of this Section) shall not be required if in the Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender or Issuing Bank.
(ii)     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code):

49
        


would subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender or Issuing Bank.
(iv)     Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

Solely for purposes of this Section 3.3(d) , “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(e)      Refund of Taxes . If any Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Tax or any tax referred to in Section 11.3, in either case, with respect to which the Borrower has paid any amount pursuant to this Section 3.3 or Section 11.3, such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent shall pay the amount of such refund net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, shall repay to such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 3.3(e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.3(e), in no event will such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent be required to pay an amount pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.


50
        


(f)      Indemnification by Lenders . Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.10 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (f) .
(g)      FATCA Certification . Each Foreign Lender hereby represents and warrants that it is entitled to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under FATCA with respect to payments to be received pursuant to any Credit Document (as if such payments were U.S. source), and agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to maintain such exemption. In the event that any Foreign Lender ceases to maintain such exemption, it shall promptly so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing.
(h)      Survival . Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.3 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

(c)     Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks that determines to seek compensation under this Section 9.2 shall give written notice to the Borrower and, in the case of a Lender or an Issuing Bank other than the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent of the circumstances that entitle the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank to such compensation within one calendar year after the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank receives actual notice or obtains actual knowledge of the law, rule, order or interpretation or occurrence of another event giving rise to a claim hereunder. In any event the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay any amount with respect to claims accruing prior to the 365th day preceding such written demand; provided that if the basis or circumstances giving rise to such compensation is retroactive, then such one calendar year period referred to in this sentence shall be extended to include the period with retroactive effect thereof.

83
        


Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank made in good faith, be otherwise disadvantageous to it; provided that the foregoing shall not in any way affect the rights of any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 9.2 .

Unless and until the Required Lenders (or, if required by Section 11.11 , all of the Lenders) give such direction (including the giving of a notice of default as described in Section 8.1(c) ), the Administrative Agent may, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or therein, take or refrain from taking such actions as it deems appropriate and in the best interest of all the Lenders. In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent be required to take any action in violation of applicable law or of any provision of any Credit Document, and the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Credit Document unless it first receives any further assurances of its indemnification from the Lenders that it may require, including prepayment of any related expenses and any other protection it requires against any and all costs, expenses, and liabilities it may Incur in taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default, other than non-payment of any scheduled principal or interest payment due hereunder, exists unless notified in writing to the contrary by a Lender or the Borrower. In all cases in which the Credit Documents do not require the Administrative Agent to take specific action, the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in using its discretion in failing to take or in taking any action thereunder. Any instructions of the Required Lenders, or of any other group of Lenders called for under specific provisions of the Credit Documents, shall be binding on all the Lenders.
Section 10.4      Consultation with Experts . The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 10.5      Indemnification Provisions; Credit Decision . Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, or employees shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by them in connection with the Credit Documents (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or, if required by Section 11.11 , all of the Lenders), or (ii) in the absence of their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any Borrowing; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower or any Subsidiary contained herein or in any other Credit Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV , except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, value, worth or collectability hereof or of any other Credit Document or of any other documents or writings furnished in connection with any Credit Document; and the Administrative Agent makes no representation of any kind or character with respect to any such matters mentioned in this sentence. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under any of the Credit Documents by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders or any other Person for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall not Incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, other document or statement (whether written or oral) believed by it to be genuine or to be sent by the proper party or parties. In particular and without limiting any of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for confirming the accuracy of any Compliance Certificate or other document or instrument received by any of them under the Credit Documents. The Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until written notice of transfer shall have been filed with such Administrative Agent signed by such owner in form satisfactory to such Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has independently, and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, or any other Lender, obtained such information and made such investigations and inquiries regarding the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as it deems appropriate, and based upon such information, investigations and inquiries, made its own credit analysis and decision to extend credit to the Borrower in the manner set forth in the Credit Documents. It shall be the responsibility of each Lender to keep itself informed about the creditworthiness and business, properties, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) and prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and the Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Lender for such matters. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to disclose to the Lenders information that is not required by any Credit Document to be furnished by the Borrower or any Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished to the Administrative Agent (either in its capacity as Administrative Agent or in its individual capacity).
Section 10.6      Indemnity . The Lenders shall ratably, in accordance with their Percentages, indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives harmless from and against any liabilities, losses, costs or expenses suffered or Incurred by it under any Credit Document or in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, regardless of when asserted or arising, except to the extent they are promptly reimbursed for the same by the Borrower and except to the extent that any event giving rise to a claim was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified as found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that this Section 10.6 shall not limit the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.6 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Section 10.7      Resignation .
(a)      Resignation of Agents . The Administrative Agent may resign at any time and shall resign upon any removal thereof as a Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. Any resignation of the Administrative Agent shall not be effective until a replacement therefor is appointed pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon any such resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default shall then exist, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall


86
        


have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default shall then exist, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be any Lender hereunder or any commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents; and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations thereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Other Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent or Other Agent, as the case may be, the provisions of this Article X and all protective provisions of the other Credit Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Other Agent, as the case may be.
(b)      Resignation of Issuing Banks . If at any time an Issuing Bank assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to Section 11.10 , such Issuing Bank may, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders, resign as an Issuing Bank. In such event, the Borrower may, with the approval of the Administrative Agent and the acceptance of the duties of an Issuing Bank by the Lender so requested, request that another Lender serve as Issuing Bank under this Agreement; provided , however , that the absence of any successor Issuing Bank shall not affect the resignation of the resigning Issuing Bank. Any resigning Issuing Bank shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the Closing Date of its resignation and all Reimbursement Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations in Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to Section 2.12 ). Upon the appointment of any successor Issuing Bank (i) such successor Issuing Bank shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement, and (ii) such successor Issuing Bank shall issue Letters of Credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, previously issued by the resigning Issuing Bank that are outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the resigning Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the resigning Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.
Section 10.8      Collateral and Guaranty Matters . Each Lender (and, by its acceptance of the benefit of any Lien in Collateral pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents, each holder of the Rate Management and Currency Protection Obligations, each holder of the Specified Cash Management Obligations and each other Person for whose benefit the Security Trustee is granted a Lien in Collateral pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents) hereby authorizes and directs (i) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to act as Security Trustee under each Collateral Document, (ii) the Security Trustee, from time to time, to take any actions with respect to the Collateral or Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents and to enter into additional Collateral Documents or amendments to Collateral Documents, as contemplated by Section 6.12 or as necessary or advisable in connection with transfers or changes to the flag or vessel and/or ship registry of any Collateral Vessel permitted by Section 6.13 , (iii) the Administrative Agent to, or to instruct the Security Trustee to (A) release any and all Collateral from the Liens created by the Collateral Documents, subordinate any Lien on any and all such Collateral and/or release any and all Guarantors from their respective obligations under the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement at any time and from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Documents and Section 11.20 and (B) execute and deliver, and take any action referred to in Section 11.20 , to evidence any such release or subordination and (iv) the Administrative Agent


87
        


to appoint the Security Trustee as its mortgagee trustee to receive, hold, administer and enforce the Collateral Vessel Mortgages covering the Collateral Vessels.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s and/or the Security Trustee’s authority, as applicable, to release any Collateral from the Liens created by the Collateral Documents, to subordinate any such Liens and/or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, in each case, pursuant to this Section 10.8 .

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 11.10 , from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.13 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided , that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 11.10 .
(c)      Register . The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “ Register ”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)      Participations . Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Eligible Assignee (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “ Participant ”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.6 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that requires the consent of each Lender hereunder and that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.2 , Section 11.3, Section 2.11 and Section 3.3 and (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.3(b) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.3(b) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 11.10 ; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 9.5 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 11.10 ; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 9.2, Section 11.3 or Section 3.3 , with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 9.5 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.6 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.6 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “ Participant Register ”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b)(1) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(e)      Certain Pledges . Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(f)      Disqualified Institutions .
(i)      No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “ Trade Date ”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender and (y) the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment in violation of this clause (f)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (f) shall apply; provided further that any assignment to any Person, including a Disqualified Institution, made without the consent of the Borrower shall be invalid if the Borrower’s consent is required for such assignment under this Section 11.10 .
(ii)      If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Commitment and/or (B) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 11.10 ), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.
(iii)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not have the right to (x) receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any Bankruptcy Plan, each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Bankruptcy Plan, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such Bankruptcy Plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1) , such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Bankruptcy Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2) .
(iv)      The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “ DQ List ”) on the Electronic Platform, including that portion of the Electronic Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders and/or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.
Section 11.11      Amendments, Waivers and Consents . Any provision of the Credit Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by (a) in the case of this Agreement, the Borrower, the Required Lenders, and if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank are affected thereby, the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and (b) in the case of any other Credit Document, each party thereto and the Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Required Lenders), provided that:
(i)      no amendment or waiver shall (A) increase or extend any Commitment of any Lender without the consent of such Lender, or (B) reduce the amount of or postpone the date for any scheduled payment of any principal of or interest (including any reduction in the rate of interest unless such reduction is otherwise provided herein) on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or of any fee payable hereunder, without the consent of each Lender and Issuing Bank owed any such Obligation, (C) release any Collateral for any Collateralized Obligations (other than as provided in accordance with Section 8.4 ) without the consent of all Lenders, (D) release all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranties of the Guarantors under the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement or all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as expressly provided for in the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, the Collateral Documents or Section 11.20 ) without the consent of all Lenders, (E) waive the provisions of Article IV hereof without in each such case the consent of all Lenders, (F) change any provision requiring ratable funding or sharing of payments without the consent of all Lenders or (G) amend or waive this Section 11.11 , the definition herein of “Required Lenders” or the number of Lenders required to take any action under any other provision of the Credit Documents without the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

The Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the Maximum Net Funded Debt Ratio set forth in the most recently delivered Compliance Certificate. Adjustments, if any, to the Applicable Margin shall be effective five (5) Business Days after the Administrative Agent has received the applicable Compliance Certificate, except that the Applicable Margin on a Eurodollar Loan shall be adjusted after the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to deliver a Compliance Certificate to the Administrative Agent at the time required by Section 6.6(c) , then the Applicable Margin shall be deemed to be determined at Level 4 until the date the applicable Compliance Certificate is so delivered (at which time, the Level shall be based upon the Maximum Net Funded Debt Ratio set forth in such Compliance Certificate).
In the event that any Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.6(c) is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher or lower Applicable Margin for any period (each, an “ Applicable Period ”) than the Applicable Margin actually applied for such Applicable Period, the Borrower shall immediately (a) deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, (b) determine the Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period based upon the corrected Compliance Certificate, and (c) immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders the net accrued additional interest and other fees owing as a result of such changes in the Applicable Margin for each such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders entitled thereto. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive Security Termination for a period of six (6) months, at which time all of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect.

(d)     Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
(i)     no provision in this Agreement is intended to convey to the Security Trustee or the Lenders “control” within the meaning of 46 U.S.C. § 50501 of the Issuer of any Pledged Stock that owns a Collateral Vessel or that charters by demise any vessel, in either case, documented under the laws and flag of the United States with a coastwise endorsement unless and until the Security Trustee or the Lenders shall become vested (and while the Security Trustee or the Lenders remain so vested) with the rights to exercise the voting and other consensual rights, or any other form of “control” (within the meaning of 46 U.S.C. § 50501), or to receive distributions relating to such Pledged Stock, pursuant to Section 6.3(b)(ii) hereof, and no provision in this Agreement shall be construed as conveying such control (unless and until the Security Trustee or the Lenders shall become vested (and while the Security Trustee or the Lenders remain so vested) with the rights to exercise the voting and other consensual rights, or any other form of “control” (within the meaning of 46 U.S.C. § 50501), to receive such distributions, pursuant to Section 6.3(b)(ii) hereof);

(iii)     the Security Trustee may not, and shall not, exercise any right under this Agreement, or foreclose or sell any Pledged Stock, under this Agreement, in a manner that would cause any Collateral Vessel or any vessel chartered by demise to an Issuer, in either case, documented under the laws and flag of the United States with a coastwise endorsement to lose its eligibility for documentation under the laws of the United States with a coastwise endorsement, and any purported exercise of a power granted to the Security Trustee by this Agreement which would cause or result in any Collateral Vessel or any vessel chartered by demise to an Issuer, in either case, documented under the laws and flag of the United States with a coastwise endorsement having such coastwise endorsement forfeited, or make such vessel ineligible for such endorsement shall be null and void.
(e)     In the event that the Security Trustee shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Security Trustee, then and in every such case, the Grantors, the Security Trustee and each other Secured Party shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Security Trustee and the other Secured Parties shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

6.4      Proceeds to be Turned Over To Security Trustee . In addition to the rights of the Security Trustee and the Secured Parties specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds of Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and Cash Equivalents shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Security Trustee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Security Trustee in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Security Trustee, if required). All Proceeds received by the Security Trustee hereunder shall be held by the Security Trustee in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Security Trustee in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Security Trustee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.5 .
6.5      Application of Proceeds . If any Collateral is sold or otherwise realized upon by the Security Trustee in connection with any foreclosure, collection or other enforcement of the liens granted to the Security Trustee in the Collateral Documents, the proceeds received by the Security Trustee from such foreclosure, collection or other enforcement or realization will be distributed by the Security Trustee in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
6.6      Code and Other Remedies . If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Security Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Security Trustee, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may during the continuance of an Event of Default, forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Security Trustee or any other Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such commercially reasonable prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Security Trustee and each other Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Security Trustee’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Security Trustee at places which the Security Trustee shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Security Trustee shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6 , after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Security Trustee and the other Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in accordance with Section 6.5 . To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Security Trustee or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

4823-9888-3206v7     16


6.7      Private Sales. Each Grantor recognizes that the Security Trustee may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of restricted purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Security Trustee shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so. Each Grantor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, that Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement.
6.8      Subordination . Each Grantor hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, unless otherwise agreed by the Security Trustee, all Indebtedness owing by any other Grantor to it shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than indemnification and other contingent obligations as to which no claim has been made at any time of determination).
6.9      Deficiency . Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Security Trustee or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 7.     THE SECURITY TRUSTEE

4823-9888-3206v7     17


(ii)     in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Security Trustee may reasonably request to evidence the Security Trustee’s security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;
(iii)     unless being disputed as permitted by the Credit Agreement, pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or purchase any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;
(iv)     execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.6 or 6.7 , any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and
(v)     (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Security Trustee or as the Security Trustee shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Security Trustee may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Security Trustee shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Security Trustee were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Security Trustee’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Security Trustee deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Security Trustee’s security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Security Trustee agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(b)     If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Security Trustee at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance.
(c)     The expenses of the Security Trustee reasonably incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1 , together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any past due Base Rate Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Security Trustee to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Security Trustee on demand.
(d)     Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall in good faith and lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue and in accordance with the terms hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies

4823-9888-3206v7     18


contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.
7.2      Duty of Security Trustee . The Security Trustee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Security Trustee deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Security Trustee, any Lender nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Security Trustee hereunder are solely to protect the Security Trustee’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Security Trustee to exercise any such powers. The Security Trustee shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Security Trustee nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
7.3      Filing of Financing Statements . Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Security Trustee to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Security Trustee reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Security Trustee under this Agreement. Each Grantor authorizes the Security Trustee to use the collateral description “all personal property” or words of similar import in any such financing statements.
7.4      Authority of Security Trustee . Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Security Trustee under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Security Trustee or the exercise or non-exercise by the Security Trustee of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Security Trustee and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Security Trustee and the Grantors, the Security Trustee shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Collateral Vessel Owner


{N3767794.5}     3    




The Collateral Vessel Owner represents, warrants, covenants and agrees with the Mortgagee as follows:
Section 1.      The Collateral Vessel Owner is a limited liability company formed and existing under the laws of Delaware. The Collateral Vessel Owner has full power and authority to own and mortgage the Collateral Vessels; has full right and entitlement to register the Collateral Vessels in the Collateral Vessel Owner’s name under the flag of the United States of America and all corporate (or equivalent) action necessary and required by law for the execution and delivery of this Mortgage has been duly and effectively taken. This Mortgage is and will be the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Collateral Vessel Owner enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement only to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and equitable principles.
Section 2.      In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Mortgage and the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement or any other Credit Document, the provisions of this Mortgage shall prevail, but only to the extent required by United States law.
The Obligations hereby secured are in United States Dollars and the symbol “$” when used herein shall mean such United States Dollars. Notwithstanding fluctuations in the value or rate of United States Dollars in terms of gold or any other currency, all payments hereunder or otherwise in respect of the Obligations hereby secured shall be payable in terms of United States Dollars when due and in United States Dollars when paid, whether such payment is made before or after the due date.

Section 4.      Neither the Collateral Vessel Owner, any charterer, the master of the Collateral Vessels nor any other person has or shall have any right, power or authority to create, incur or permit to be placed or imposed or continued upon any Collateral Vessel any lien whatsoever other than Permitted Liens.
Section 5.      The Collateral Vessel Owner will carry, and shall retain, a properly certified copy of this Mortgage with each Collateral Vessel’s marine papers and will cause such certified copy to be placed on board each Collateral Vessel to the extent there is a suitable place on board the Collateral Vessel to carry such certified copy, and such certified copy shall be exhibited to any and all persons having business therewith which might give rise to any lien on such Collateral Vessel other than Permitted Liens, and to any representative of the Mortgagee;

{N3767794.5}     4    




and to the extent there is a suitable place on board the Collateral Vessel to do so, the Collateral Vessel Owner will place and keep prominently displayed on each Collateral Vessel a framed printed notice in plain type reading as follows:
“NOTICE OF MORTGAGE”
“This Vessel is covered by a Fleet Mortgage (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Mortgage ”) in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Security Trustee, under authority of 46 U.S.C. §31301 et seq. Under the terms of said Mortgage, neither the owner, any charterer, the master of this Vessel nor any other person has any right, power or authority to create, incur or permit to be imposed upon this Vessel any other lien whatsoever except Permitted Liens (as defined in the Mortgage), copies of which are available on board for inspection upon the request of any party having business with this Vessel.”
Section 6.      (a) The Collateral Vessel Owner lawfully owns and is lawfully possessed of the Collateral Vessels free and clear of all liens, mortgages, taxes and encumbrances except Permitted Liens and the Collateral Vessel Owner does hereby warrant and will defend the title and possession thereof and to every part thereof for the benefit of the Mortgagee against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever (taking into account Permitted Liens).
(a)      The Collateral Vessel Owner may not transfer ownership of any Collateral Vessel, except to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement.
Section 7.      (a) To the extent provided for in any Credit Document and subject to Article IV, Section 6, this Mortgage shall extend to and constitute a lien upon, and the Collateral Vessel Owner hereby grants the Mortgagee a security interest in, proceeds resulting from or relating to any Disposition in respect of any Collateral Vessel as security for the Obligations hereby secured.
ARTICLE III.     
Events of Default and Remedies.
Section 1.      The occurrence and continuation of an “event of default” under the Credit Agreement shall constitute an “ Event of Default ” under this Mortgage.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the security constituted by this Mortgage shall become immediately enforceable in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and, without limitation, the enforcement remedies specified can be exercised irrespective of whether or not the Mortgagee has exercised the right of acceleration under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents and the Mortgagee shall have the right, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to:


{N3767794.5}     5    




(a)      exercise all of the rights and remedies in foreclosure and otherwise given to mortgagees by the provisions of the laws of the United States or of any other jurisdiction where the applicable Collateral Vessel may be found;
(b)      bring suit at law, in equity or in admiralty, as it may be advised, to recover judgment for the Obligations hereby secured;
(c)      take and enter into possession of any Collateral Vessel, at any time, wherever the same may be, without legal process and without being responsible for loss or damage, and the Collateral Vessel Owner or other person in possession forthwith upon demand of the Mortgagee shall surrender to the Mortgagee possession of any Collateral Vessel;

(d)      without being responsible for loss or damage (except to the extent such loss or damage results from the Mortgagee’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, violation of law or willful breach of its obligations hereunder, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), the Mortgagee may hold, lay up, lease, charter, operate or otherwise use any and all Collateral Vessels for such time and upon such terms as it may deem to be for its best advantage, and demand, collect and retain all day rates, hire, freights, earnings, issues, revenues, income, profits, return premiums, salvage awards or recoveries, recoveries in general average, and all other sums due or to become due in respect of any Collateral Vessel or in respect of any insurance thereon from any person whomsoever, accounting only for the net profits, if any, arising from such use of any Collateral Vessel and charging upon all receipts from the use of any Collateral Vessel or from the sale thereof by court proceedings or, pursuant to subsection (e) below, all costs, expenses, charges, damages or losses by reason of such use, provided that the Mortgagee shall provide the Collateral Vessel Owner with a final accounting; and if at any time the Mortgagee shall avail itself of the right herein given it to take any Collateral Vessel, the Mortgagee shall have the right to dock any such Collateral Vessel, for a reasonable time at any dock, pier or other premises of the Collateral Vessel Owner without charge, or to dock it at any other place at the cost and expense of the Collateral Vessel Owner;

(e)      sell any and all Collateral Vessels, at any place and at such time as the Mortgagee may specify and in such manner as the Mortgagee may deem advisable, free from any claim by the Collateral Vessel Owner in admiralty, in equity, at law or by statute, at public or private sale, by sealed bids or otherwise, by mailing, by air or otherwise, notice of such sale, whether public or private, addressed to the Collateral Vessel Owner at its last known address, fourteen (14) days prior to the date fixed for entering into the contract of sale; the sale may be held at such place and at such time as the Mortgagee by notice may have specified, or 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 the Mortgagee may make any such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned; and any sale may be conducted without bringing such Collateral Vessel to the place designated for such sale and in such manner as the Mortgagee may deem to be for its best advantage, and the Mortgagee may become the purchaser at any sale. The Collateral Vessel Owner agrees that any sale made in accordance with the terms of this paragraph shall be deemed made in a commercially reasonable manner insofar as it is concerned;

{N3767794.5}     6    





(f)      require that all policies, contracts, certificates of entry and other records relating to the insurance with respect to any Collateral Vessel, including, but not limited to, those described in Section 6.5 of the Credit Agreement (the “ Insurances ”) (including details of and correspondence concerning outstanding claims) be forthwith delivered to the Mortgagee; and

(g)      collect, recover, compromise and give a good discharge for any and all monies and claims for monies then outstanding or thereafter arising under the Insurances or in respect of the earnings or any requisition compensation and to permit any brokers through whom collection or recovery is effected to charge the usual brokerage therefor.

Section 2.      Any sale of any Collateral Vessel made in pursuance of, and in accordance with, this Mortgage, whether under the power of sale hereby granted or any judicial proceedings, shall operate to divest all right, title and interest of any nature whatsoever of the Collateral Vessel Owner therein and thereto, and shall bar any claim from the Collateral Vessel Owner, its successors and assigns, and all persons claiming by, through or under it. No purchaser shall be bound to inquire whether notice has been given, or whether any default has occurred, or as to the propriety of the sale, or as to the application of the proceeds thereof. In case of any such sale, the Mortgagee, if it is the purchaser, shall be entitled for the purpose of making settlement or payment for the property purchased to use and apply the Obligations hereby secured 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 Mortgagee after allowing for the costs and expense of sale and other charges; and thereupon such purchaser shall be credited, on account of such purchase price, with the net proceeds that shall have been so credited upon the Obligations hereby secured. At any such sale, the Mortgagee may bid for and purchase such property and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor.
Section 3.      Until the Termination Date (as defined below), the Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact of the Collateral Vessel Owner, upon the happening and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to execute and deliver to any purchaser aforesaid, and is hereby vested with full power and authority to make, in the name and in behalf of the Collateral Vessel Owner, a good conveyance of the title to the Collateral Vessels so sold. In the event of any sale of any Collateral Vessel, under any power herein contained, the Collateral Vessel Owner will, if and when required by the Mortgagee, execute such form of conveyance of such Collateral Vessel as the Mortgagee may direct or approve.
Section 4.      The Mortgagee is hereby appointed attorney-in-fact of the Collateral Vessel Owner upon the happening and during the continuance of any Event of Default, in the name of the Collateral Vessel Owner to demand, collect, receive, compromise and sue for, so far as may be permitted by law, all day rates, freight, hire, earnings, issues, revenues, income and profits of any Collateral Vessel and all amounts due from underwriters under any insurance thereon as payment of losses or as return premiums or otherwise, salvage awards and recoveries,

{N3767794.5}     7    




recoveries in general average or otherwise, and all other sums due or to become due at the time of the happening and during the continuance of any Event of Default in respect of any Collateral Vessel, or in respect of any insurance thereon, from any person whomsoever, and to make, give and execute in the name of the Collateral Vessel Owner acquittances, receipts, releases or other discharges for the same, whether under seal or otherwise, and to endorse and accept in the name of the Collateral Vessel Owner all checks, notes, drafts, warrants, agreements and other instruments in writing with respect to the foregoing.
Section 5.      Whenever any right to enter and take possession of any Collateral Vessel accrues to the Mortgagee as a result of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, it may require the Collateral Vessel Owner to deliver, and the Collateral Vessel Owner shall on demand, at its own cost and expense, deliver to the Mortgagee such Collateral Vessel to a location designated by the Mortgagee as demanded. If the Mortgagee shall be entitled to take any legal proceedings to enforce any right under this Article III, the Mortgagee shall be entitled as a matter of right to the appointment of a receiver of such Collateral Vessel and of the day rates, freights, hire, earnings, issues, revenues, income and profits due or to become due and arising from the operation thereof.
Section 6.      To the extent that the Collateral Vessel Owner does not so appear, the Collateral Vessel Owner authorizes and empowers the Mortgagee or its appointees or any of them to appear in the name of the Collateral Vessel Owner, its successors and assigns, in any court of any country or nation of the world where any Collateral Vessel is libeled, attached, detained, seized or levied upon or taken into custody under process or under color of any authority because of or on account of any alleged lien (except for Permitted Liens) against such Collateral Vessel from which such Collateral Vessel has not been released within fifteen (15) days of such libel, attachment, detention, seizure, levy or taking into custody, and to take such proceedings as to them or any of them may seem proper towards the defense of such suit and the purchase or discharge of such Lien, and all expenditures made or incurred by them or any of them for the purpose of such defense or purchase or discharge shall be a debt due from the Collateral Vessel Owner, its successors and assigns, to the Mortgagee, and shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage in like manner and extent as if the amount and description thereof were written herein.
Section 7.      In the event the Mortgagee shall be entitled to exercise any of its remedies under this Article III, the Mortgagee shall have the right to commence proceedings in the courts of any country having competent jurisdiction and, in particular, the Mortgagee shall have the right to arrest and take against any Collateral Vessel and any appurtenant property thereto at whatever place any Collateral Vessel shall be found lying. For purposes of the foregoing, any writ, notice, judgment or other legal process or documents may (without prejudice to any other method of service under applicable law) be served upon the master of any Collateral Vessel (or upon anyone acting as the master) and such service shall be deemed good service on the Collateral Vessel Owner for all purposes.
Section 8.      Each and every power and remedy herein given to the Mortgagee shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other power and remedy herein given or now or

{N3767794.5}     8    




hereafter existing at law, in equity, in admiralty or by statute, and each and every power and remedy whether herein 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 beginning of the exercise of any 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. The Mortgagee shall not be required or bound to enforce any of its rights under any of the other Credit Documents prior to enforcing its rights under this Mortgage. No delay or omission by the Mortgagee in the exercise of any right or power or in the pursuance of any remedy accruing upon any default as above defined shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or to be an acquiescence therein; nor shall the acceptance by the Mortgagee of any security or of any payment of or on account of the Obligations hereby secured maturing after any Event of Default or of any payment on account of any past default be construed to be a waiver of any right to exercise its remedies due to any future Event of Default or of any past Event of Default not completely cured thereby. No consent, waiver or approval of the Mortgagee shall be deemed to be effective unless in writing and duly signed by authorized signatories of the Mortgagee; any waiver by the Mortgagee of any of the terms of this Mortgage or any consent given under this Mortgage shall only be effective for the purpose and on the terms which it is given and shall be without prejudice to the right to give or withhold consent in relation to future matters (which are either the same or different).
Section 9.      If at any time after an Event of Default and prior to the actual sale of any Collateral Vessel by the Mortgagee or prior to any enforcement or foreclosure proceedings the Collateral Vessel Owner offers completely to cure all Events of Default and to pay all expenses, advances and damages to the Mortgagee consequent on such Events of Default, with interest with respect to the Collateral Vessel Owner’s obligations as provided herein or in the Credit Agreement as set forth therein, then the Mortgagee may accept such offer and payment and restore the Collateral Vessel Owner to its former position, but such action, if taken, shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any rights consequent thereon.
Section 10.      In case the Mortgagee shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Mortgagee, then and in every such case the Collateral Vessel Owner and the Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the property subject or intended to be subject to this Mortgage, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken.
Section 11.      (a) The proceeds of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral Vessel and the net earnings of any charter operation or other use of any Collateral Vessel and any and all other moneys received by the Mortgagee pursuant to or under the terms of this Mortgage or in any proceedings hereunder, the application of which has not elsewhere herein been specifically provided for, shall be applied in the manner provided in Section 8.7 of the Credit Agreement.
(a)      To the extent the proceeds of the sale of any Collateral Vessel are not sufficient to pay the aggregate amount of the Obligations hereby secured, any Person liable for the

{N3767794.5}     9    




Obligations hereby secured (including without limitation, the Collateral Vessel Owner and the Guarantors to the extent such Persons are liable) shall remain jointly and severally liable for such deficiency. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the rights and remedies of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage and the other agreements, documents and instruments securing or guarantying any of the Obligations hereby secured shall be cumulative, and the exercise or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any right or remedy.
Section 12.      Until one or more Events of Default shall have happened and be continuing, the Collateral Vessel Owner, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, shall be (a) suffered and permitted to retain actual possession and use of all Collateral Vessels and (b) shall have the right, from time to time in its discretion, and without application to the Mortgagee, and without obtaining a release thereof by the Mortgagee, to dispose of, free from the lien hereof, any boilers, engines, machinery, masts, spars, boats, anchors, cables, chains, rigging, tackle, capstans, outfit, tools, pumps, pumping equipment, apparel, furniture, fittings, equipment , spare parts or any other appurtenances of any Collateral Vessel that are no longer useful, necessary, profitable or advantageous in the operation of such Collateral Vessel, first or simultaneously replacing the same by new boilers, engines, machinery, masts, spars, boats, anchors, cables, chains, rigging, tackle, capstans, outfit, tools, pumps, pumping equipment, apparel, furniture, fittings, equipment, spare parts or any appurtenances of comparable suitability to the Collateral Vessel Owner, which shall forthwith become subject to the lien of this Mortgage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Mortgagee exercise any of its remedies under this Article III or any other provision of this Mortgage in a manner which would impair, in any way, the current United States Coast Guard endorsement of any Collateral Vessel .
ARTICLE IV.     
Sundry Provisions
Section 1.      All of the covenants, promises, stipulations and agreements of the Collateral Vessel Owner contained in this Mortgage shall bind the Collateral Vessel Owner and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Mortgagee and its successors and assigns.

As used in this Mortgage, “ Termination Date ” shall mean the date on which Security Termination (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall have occurred.
