Item 9. Undertakings
      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
        (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
        (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

12

and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status as an Indemnitee; provided, that the Indemnitee shall not be indemnified and held harmless if there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.7, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful; provided, further, that no indemnification pursuant to this
Section 4.7 shall be available to TSC or its Affiliates with respect to its or their obligations incurred pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Omnibus Agreement or the Contribution Agreement (other than obligations incurred by TSC on behalf of the Company). Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.7 shall be made only out of the assets of the Company, it being agreed that the Members shall not be personally liable for such indemnification and shall have no obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Company to enable it to effectuate such indemnification.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee who is indemnified pursuant to this
Section 4.7 in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to a determination that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified upon receipt by the Company of any undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 4.7.

(c) The indemnification provided by this section 4.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, as a matter of law or otherwise, both as to actions in the Indemnitee's capacity as an Indemnitee and as to actions in any other capacity (including any capacity under the Underwriting Agreement), and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee.

13

(d) The Company may purchase and maintain (or reimburse any Member or its Affiliates for the cost of) insurance, on behalf of any Member, its Affiliates and such other Persons as the Board of Directors shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against, or expense that may be incurred by, such Person in connection with the Company's activities or such Person's activities on behalf of the Company, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

(e) For purposes of this Section 4.7, the Company shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Company also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute "fines" within the meaning of Section 4.7(a); and action taken or omitted by it with respect to any employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the best interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose that is in the best interests of the Company.

(f) In no event may an Indemnitee subject any of the Members to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.

(g) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 4.7 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(h) The provisions of this Section 4.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

(i) No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 4.7 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Company, nor the obligations of the Company to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.7 as in effect

14

immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

4.8 Liability of Indemnitees.

(a) No Indemnitee shall be personally liable for the debts and obligations of the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Indemnitee shall be liable for monetary damages to the Company for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of an Indemnitee unless there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter in question, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee's conduct was criminal.

(c) To the full extent that the Act permits the limitation or elimination of liability of Directors, a Director shall not be liable to the Company or its Members for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a Director.

(d) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 4.8 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of the Indemnitees under this Section 4.8 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

(iii) with the same or a similar remaining useful life as the Vessel,

such determinations to be made in the sole discretion of the Agent acting on behalf of the Lenders (the "REPLACEMENT VESSEL").

(c) Mandatory Cost.

8.2 DUE DATES

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, accrued interest on each Loan is payable by the Borrower on the last day of each Term and also, if the Term is longer than six months, on the dates falling at six-monthly intervals after the first day of that Term.


25

8.3 DEFAULT INTEREST

(a) If the Borrower fails to pay any amount payable by it under the Finance Documents (other than interest), it shall forthwith on demand by the Agent, pay interest on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment, both before and after judgment, at a rate (the "DEFAULT RATE") determined by the Agent to be the aggregate of:

(i) two per cent. per annum;

(ii) the Margin; and

(iii) subject to paragraph (b) below, LIBOR for deposits on call or for successive interest periods of one month.

(b) If any unpaid sum of principal of any Loan is repayable during a Term, the LIBOR applicable to that unpaid sum during the unexpired portion of that Term shall be the LIBOR applicable to it immediately before it fell due.

(c) If the Agent determines (after consultation with the Reference Banks) that Dollar deposits are not being made available to the leading banks in the London Interbank Market, the reference to LIBOR in paragraph (a)(iii) above shall be taken as a reference to a rate representing the cost of funds to the Reference Banks from such other sources as they may from time to time determine.

(d) Unpaid interest shall be capitalised so that it will increase the amount of principal of each Loan and the increased principal amount of each Loan will incur and accrue interest at the default rate.

(a) All payments by the Borrower under the Finance Documents shall be made to the Agent to its account at such office or bank as it may notify to the Borrower for this purpose.

(a) Where a sum is to be paid to the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that Party until it has established that it has actually received that sum. The Agent may, however, assume that the sum has been paid to it in accordance with the Finance Documents and, in reliance on that assumption, make available to that Party a corresponding amount. If the sum has not been made available but the Agent has paid a corresponding amount to another Party, that Party shall forthwith on demand refund the corresponding amount to the Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt, calculated at a rate determined by the Agent to reflect its cost of funds, provided that no such interest shall be payable in relation to such refund to


27

the extent that such sum to be refunded falls due to be refunded due to the Agent's wilful misconduct or reckless disregard with knowledge of the probable consequences.

(b) Any and all amounts received by the Spanish Security Agent in its capacity as Spanish Security Agent shall be paid to the Agent for application by the Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

10.4 CURRENCY

10.5 SET-OFF AND COUNTERCLAIM

All payments made by the Borrower under the Finance Documents shall be made without set-off or counterclaim.

10.6 NON-BUSINESS DAYS

(a) If a payment under the Finance Documents is due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date for that payment shall instead be the next Business Day in the same calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).

(a) All payments by the Borrower under the Finance Documents shall be made without any deduction and free and clear of and without any deduction for or on account of any taxes, except to the extent that the Borrower is required by law to make payment subject to any taxes. If any tax or amounts in respect of tax must be deducted, or any other deductions must be made, from any amounts payable or paid by the Borrower, or paid or payable by the Agent to a Bank, under the Finance Documents, the Borrower shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure (having regard to any such deduction on any such additional amount) that the relevant Party receives a net amount equal to the full amount which it would have received had payment not been made subject to tax or any other deduction.

(b) Without prejudice to paragraph (a) above, in relation to an exemption from or application of a rate lower than that of general application in relation to any Non-Residents Income Tax (Impuesto sobre la Renta de No Residentes) pursuant to any double taxation treaty, or pursuant to any other cause relating to residence status, any Bank which is not incorporated in Spain shall supply the Agent (which shall deliver a copy thereof to the Borrower), with a certificate of residence issued by the pertinent fiscal administration, evidencing that such Bank is resident for tax purposes in a country which is a member of the European Union or, as the case may be, is resident for tax purposes in the relevant state which has signed and ratified a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation with Spain, within the meaning of such treaty, prior to the last day of the first Term. As such certificates are, at the date hereof, only valid for a period of one year, each such Bank will be required to so supply a further such certificate upon expiry of the previous certificate in relation to any further payment of interest.

11.2 TAX RECEIPTS

All taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld by the Borrower from any amounts paid or payable under the Finance Documents shall be paid by the Borrower when due and the Borrower shall, within 15 days of the payment being made or, if later, forthwith following receipt of the same, deliver to the Agent for the relevant Bank evidence satisfactory to that Bank (including all relevant tax receipts) that the payment has been duly remitted to the appropriate authority.

11.3 TAX CREDITS

(a) If:

(i) the Borrower makes a payment or increases the amount of any payment, pursuant to Clause 11.1 (Gross-Up) (a "TAX RELATED PAYMENT"); and


29

(ii) the Agent, the relevant Bank or the other relevant Party obtains a refund of tax or obtains a credit against or relief for any tax paid or otherwise payable by it, in respect of or calculated with reference to the deduction, withholding or payment of tax giving rise to the Tax Related Payment (a "TAX CREDIT"),

then, if and to the extent that the Agent, the relevant Bank or the other relevant Party (as appropriate), in its reasonable opinion, can do so without any adverse consequences for it (other than the mere payment of monies under this provision), it shall reimburse the Borrower such proportion of that Tax Credit as is attributable to the deduction, withholding or payment as will leave the Agent, the relevant Bank or, as the case may be, the other relevant Party (after that reimbursement) in no better or worse position in respect of its relevant tax liabilities than it would have been in if no Tax Related Payment had been required.

(b) The Agent, the relevant Bank and the other relevant Party shall have absolute discretion as to whether to claim any Tax Credit as well as all other reliefs and credits available to it and, if it does claim, the extent, order and manner in which it does so. The Agent, the relevant Bank and the other relevant Party shall not be obliged to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs and computations to the Borrower.

12. MARKET DISRUPTION

12.1 ABSENCE OF QUOTATIONS

If LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply an offered rate by 11.30 a.m. on a Rate Fixing Day, the applicable LIBOR shall, subject to Clause 12.2 (Market disruption), be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Bank(s).

12.2 MARKET DISRUPTION

If, in relation to any proposed Loan:

(a) LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but no, or only one, Reference Bank supplies a rate by 11.30 a.m. on the Rate Fixing Day or LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the rate supplied to the Agent by the British Bankers' Association and no such rate is supplied by 11.30 a.m. on the Rate Fixing Day or the Agent otherwise determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR; or

(b) the Agent receives notification from Banks whose participations in a Loan exceed 30 per cent. of that Loan that, in their opinion:

(i) matching deposits may not be available to them in the London interbank market in the ordinary course of business to fund their participations in that Loan for the relevant Term; or

(ii) the cost to them of obtaining matching deposits in the London interbank market would be in excess of LIBOR for the relevant

Term,


30

the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks of the fact and that this Clause 12 is in operation.

12.3 SUSPENSION OF DRAWDOWNS

If a notification under Clause 12.2 (Market disruption) applies and is continuing, the Finance Parties shall be under no obligation to advance any further Loans. However, within five Business Days of receipt of the notification, the Borrower and the Agent shall enter into negotiations for a period of not more than 30 days with a view to agreeing an alternative basis for determining the rate of interest and/or funding applicable to any future Loans. Any alternative basis agreed shall be, with the prior consent of all the Banks, binding on all the Parties.

(b) any alternative basis agreed under paragraph (a) above, or certified under paragraph (c) below, shall be, with the prior consent of all the Banks, binding on all the Parties and treated as part of this Agreement;

(c) if no alternative basis is agreed, each Bank shall (through the Agent) certify on or before the last day of the Term to which the notification relates an alternative basis for maintaining its participation in that Loan; and

(d) any such alternative basis may include an alternative method of fixing the interest rate, alternative Terms or alternative currencies but it must reflect the cost to the Bank of funding its participation in the Loan from whatever sources it may select plus the Margin plus any applicable Mandatory Cost.

13. INCREASED COSTS

13.1 INCREASED COSTS

14. ILLEGALITY

Nothing in Clause 15.1 (Mitigation) shall oblige a Bank to incur any costs or expenses or to take any action or refrain from taking any action where, in the reasonable opinion of such Bank, to take or refrain from taking that action (as the case may be) might be prejudicial to its interests.

29. SET-OFF

A Finance Party may upon notice to the Borrower, following the occurrence of an Event of Default and whilst it continues, set off any matured obligation owed by the Borrower under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any obligation (whether or not matured) owed by that Finance Party to the Borrower, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert either obligation at the Agent's Spot Rate of Exchange on the relevant date for the purpose of the set-off.

If any amount owing by the Borrower under this Agreement to a Finance Party (the "RECOVERING FINANCE PARTY") is discharged by payment, set-off or any other manner other than through the Agent in accordance with Clause

each Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the recovering Finance Party through the Agent, reimburse the recovering Finance Party all or the appropriate portion of the redistribution paid to that Finance Party together with interest on the amount to be returned to the recovering Finance Party for the period whilst it held the redistribution.

83

and Articles 913-4 and 914-2, in relation to Article 916-2 of the Spanish Commercial Code and other related provisions.

(ii) The sum payable by the Borrower shall be the total aggregate sum resulting from the balance shown in the account(s) maintained by the Agent (or the relevant Bank, as the case may be) in accordance with this Agreement. For the purposes of Articles 571 et seq. of the new Civil Procedural Law (Law 1/2000 of 7th January) ("Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil"), the parties expressly agree that such balance shall be considered as an acknowledgement of debt and may be claimed pursuant to the same provisions of such law.

(iii) For the purpose of the provisions of Art. 571 et seq. of the new Civil Procedural Law (Law 1/2000 of 7th January) ("Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil"), it is expressly agreed by the contracting parties that the determination of the debt to be claimed though the executive proceedings shall be effected by the Agent (or the relevant Bank, as the case may be) by means of the appropriate certificate evidencing the balance shown in the account or accounts of the Borrower.

(b) The covenant in sub-paragraph (a) above is also applicable with respect to any Bank with regard to its respective Commitment. Such Bank which may issue the appropriate certification of the balance of the account or accounts of the Borrower and the certification of the account balance may be legalised by a notary.

(c) The amount of the balance so established shall be notified to the Borrower in an attestable manner at least one (1) day in advance of exercising the action.

(d) The Borrower hereby expressly authorises the Agent (and any Bank, as appropriate), to request and obtain, by itself, certificates issued by the notary which has formalised this Agreement in order to evidence its accordance with the entries of his registry-book and the date of them for the purpose of number 5 of Article 517, of the new Civil Procedural Law (Law 1/2000 of 7th January) ("Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil"), the amount of such certificate being for the account of the Borrower in the manner provided with respect to other expenses.

CALCULATION OF THE MANDATORY COST

(a) For the purpose of paragraph (a) of the definition of Mandatory Cost, the Mandatory Cost for a Loan for its Term is the rate determined by the Agent to be equal to the arithmetic mean (rounded upward, if necessary, to four decimal places) of the respective rates notified by each of the Reference Banks to the Agent and calculated in accordance with the following formula:

F x 0.01
-------- % Per annum

100

where on the day of application of the formula F is the charge payable by the relevant Bank to the Financial Services Authority under paragraph 2.02 or 2.03 (as appropriate) of the Fees Regulations (but where for this purpose, the figure in paragraph 2.02b and 2.03b will be deemed to be zero) expressed in pounds per Pound Sterling 1 million of the fee base of the Reference Bank.

(b) For the purposes of this Schedule 6:

(i) "FEE BASE" has the meaning given to it in the Fees Regulations;

(ii) "FEES REGULATIONS" means the Banking Supervision (Fees) Regulations 2000 and/or any other regulations governing the payment of fees for banking supervision.

(c) If a Reference Bank does not supply a rate to the Agent, the applicable Mandatory Cost will be determined on the basis of the rate(s) supplied by the remaining Reference Banks.

(d) (i) The formula is applied on the first day of the Term of the Loan.

(ii) Each rate calculated in accordance with the formula is, if necessary, rounded upward to four decimal places.

(e) If the Agent determines that a change in circumstances has rendered, or will render, the formula inappropriate, the Agent (after consultation with the Banks) shall notify the Company of the manner in which the Mandatory Cost will subsequently be calculated. The manner of calculation so notified by the Agent shall, in the absence of manifest error, be binding on all the Parties.

Section 4(c), the number of Units available for delivery under the Plan is 1,000,000. There shall not be any limitation on the number of Awards that may be granted and paid in cash.

(ii) Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the Restricted Period, i.e., the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part, which may include, without limitation, accelerated vesting upon the achievement of specified performance goals, and the method or methods by which payment of the exercise price with respect thereto may be made or deemed to have been made, which may include, without limitation, (1) cash, (2) check acceptable to the Company, (3) to the extent permitted by law, a "broker-assisted cashless exercise" through procedures approved by the Company, (4) tendering Units owned by the Participant for at least six months (or any shorter period necessary to avoid a charge for financial reporting purposes), other securities or other property, or (5) any combination thereof, having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price.

(iii) Termination of Service. The Committee shall establish and set forth in each instrument that evidences an Option whether the Option shall continue to be exercisable, and the terms and conditions of such exercise, after a Termination of Service, any of which provisions may be waived or modified by the Committee at any time. If not so established in the instrument evidencing the Option, the Option shall be exercisable according to the following terms and conditions, which may be waived or modified by the Committee at any time:

(A) Any portion of an Option that is not vested and exercisable on the date of a Participant's Termination of Service shall expire on such date.

-7-

(B) Any portion of an Option that is vested and exercisable on the date of a Participant's Termination of Service shall expire on the earliest to occur of

(1) if the Participant's Termination of Service occurs for reasons other than Cause, Retirement, Disability or death, the date that is three months after such Termination of Service;

(2) if the Participant's Termination of Service occurs by reason of Retirement or Disability, the five-year anniversary of such Termination of Service;

(3) if the Participant's Termination of Service occurs by reason of death, the two-year anniversary of such Termination of Service; and

(4) the last day of the maximum term of the Option (the "Option Expiration Date").

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant dies after his or her Termination of Service but while an Option is otherwise exercisable, the portion of the Option that is vested and exercisable on the date of such Termination of Service shall expire upon the earlier to occur of (y) the Option Expiration Date and (z) the two-year anniversary of the date of death, unless the Committee determines otherwise.

Also notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Participant's Termination of Service occurs for Cause, all Options granted to the Participant shall automatically expire upon first notification to the Participant of such termination, unless the Committee determines otherwise. If a Participant's employment or service relationship with the Company is suspended pending an investigation of whether the Participant shall be terminated for Cause, all the Participant's rights under any Option shall likewise be suspended during the period of investigation. If any facts that would constitute termination for Cause are discovered after a Participant's Termination of Service, any Option then held by the Participant may be immediately terminated by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

(C) A Participant's change in status from an employee to a consultant, advisor or independent contractor or a change in status from a consultant, advisor or independent contractor to an employee shall not

-8-

be considered a Termination of Service for purposes of this Section
6(a)(iii).

(b) Restricted Units and Phantom Units. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants and Directors to whom Restricted Units or Phantom Units shall be granted, the number of Restricted Units or Phantom Units to be granted to each such Participant, the duration of the Restricted Period, the conditions under which the Restricted Units or Phantom Units may become vested or forfeited, which may include, without limitation, the accelerated vesting upon the achievement of specified performance goals, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee may establish with respect to such Awards, including whether DERs are granted with respect to the Phantom Units and whether UDRs are attached to the Restricted Units.

(i) DERs. To the extent provided by the Committee, in its discretion, a grant of Phantom Units may include a tandem DER grant, which may provide that such DERs shall be paid directly to the Participant, be credited to a bookkeeping account (with or without interest in the discretion of the Committee) subject to the same vesting restrictions as the tandem Phantom Unit Award, or be subject to such other provisions or restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion.

(ii) UDRs. To the extent provided by the Committee, in its discretion, a grant of Restricted Units may provide that distributions made by the Partnership with respect to the Restricted Units shall be subject to the same forfeiture and other restrictions as the Restricted Unit and, if restricted, such distributions shall be held, without interest, until the Restricted Unit vests or is forfeited with the UDR being paid or forfeited at the same time, as the case may be. Absent such a restriction on the UDRs in the grant agreement, UDRs shall be paid to the holder of the Restricted Unit without restriction.

(iii) Lapse of Restrictions.

(A) Phantom Units. Unless a different payment time is specified in the Award Agreement, upon or as soon as reasonably practical following the vesting of each Phantom Unit, subject to the provisions of Section 9(b), the Participant shall be entitled to receive from the Company one Unit or cash equal to the Fair Market Value of a Unit, as determined by the Committee in its discretion.

(B) Restricted Units. Upon or as soon as reasonably practical following the vesting of each Restricted Unit, subject to the provisions of Section 9(b), the Participant shall be entitled to have the restrictions

-9-

removed from his or her Unit certificate or book entry so that the Participant then holds an unrestricted Unit.

(c) Unit Appreciation Rights. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants and Directors to whom Unit Appreciation Rights shall be granted, the number of Units to be covered by each grant, the base price thereof and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of the Unit Appreciation Right, including the following terms and conditions and such additional terms and conditions, as the Committee shall determine, that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.

(i) Base Price. The base price per Unit Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Unit Appreciation Right is granted and may be equal to or more than the Fair Market Value of a Unit as of the date of grant.

(ii) Time of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the Restricted Period, i.e., the time or times at which a Unit Appreciation Right may be exercised in whole or in part, which may include, without limitation, accelerated vesting upon the achievement of specified performance goals.

(d) Other Unit or Cash-Based Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate, the Committee may grant other incentives payable in cash or in Units under the Plan.

(e) General.

(i) Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together. Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for any other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards or awards granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards.

(ii) Limits on Transfer of Awards.

(A) Except as provided in (C) below or as provided in the Award Agreement, each Option and Unit Appreciation Right shall be exercisable only by the Participant during the Participant's lifetime, or by the person to whom the Participant's rights shall pass by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

-10-

(B) Except as provided in (C) below, no Award and no right under any such Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

(C) To the extent specifically provided by the Committee with respect to an Option or Unit Appreciation Right grant, an Option or Unit Appreciation Right may be transferred by a Participant without consideration to immediate family members or related family trusts, limited partnerships or similar entities or on such terms and conditions as the Committee may from time to time establish.

(iii) Term of Awards. The term of each Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee.

(iv) Unit Certificates/Book Entry. All certificates for Units or other securities of the Partnership delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the SEC, any stock exchange upon which such Units or other securities are then listed, and any applicable federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. In lieu of delivering certificates for Units, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, effect the issuance of Units under the Plan in book entry.

(v) Consideration for Grants. Awards may be granted for such consideration, including services, as the Committee determines.

(vi) Delivery of Units or other Securities and Payment by Participant of Consideration. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any grant agreement to the contrary, delivery of Units pursuant to the exercise or vesting of an Award may be deferred for any period during which, in the good faith determination of the Committee, the Company is not reasonably able to obtain Units to deliver pursuant to such Award without violating the rules or regulations of any applicable law or securities exchange.

No Units or other securities shall be delivered pursuant to any Award until payment in full of any amount required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement (including, without limitation, any exercise price or tax withholding) is received by the Company.

-11-

SECTION 7. CHANGE OF CONTROL

(a) Effect of a Change of Control. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, unless the Committee shall determine otherwise at the time of grant with respect to a particular Award, in the event of a Change of Control:

(i) All outstanding Awards shall become fully and immediately vested and exercisable, and all applicable deferral and restriction limitations shall lapse immediately prior to the Change of Control, unless such Awards are converted, assumed, or replaced by the Successor Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Options or Unit Appreciation Rights, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may instead provide that a Participant's outstanding Options and Unit Appreciation Rights shall terminate upon consummation of such Change of Control and that each such Participant shall receive, in exchange therefor, a cash payment equal to the amount (if any) by which (a) the Acquisition Price multiplied by the number of Units subject to such outstanding Options or Unit Appreciation Rights (whether or not then exercisable) exceeds (b) the aggregate exercise price for such Options or Unit Appreciation Rights.

(ii) For the purposes of this Section 7(a), an Award shall be considered converted, assumed or replaced by the Successor Company if following the Change of Control the option or right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Unit subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change of Control, the consideration (whether units, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change of Control by holders of Units for each Unit held on the effective date of the Change of Control (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Units); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change of Control is not solely equity of the Successor Company, the Committee may, with the consent of the Successor Company, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option or the vesting of the right, for each Unit subject thereto, to be solely equity of the Successor Company substantially equal in fair market value to the per Unit consideration received by holders of Units in the Change of Control. The determination of such substantial equality of value of consideration shall be made by the Committee and its determination shall be conclusive and binding.

(b) Change of Control Cash-Out. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, during the 60-day period from and after a Change of Control (the "Exercise Period"), if the Committee shall so determine at, or at any time after, the time of grant, a Participant holding an Option or Unit Appreciation Right shall have the right,

-12-

whether or not the Option or Unit Appreciation Right is fully exercisable and in lieu of the payment of the purchase price for the Units being purchased under the Option, and by giving notice to the Company, to elect to surrender all or part of the Option or Unit Appreciation Right to the Company and to receive cash, within 30 days of such notice, in an amount equal to the amount by which the Acquisition Price per Unit on the date of such election shall exceed the exercise price per Unit under the Option or Unit Appreciation Right multiplied by the number of Units granted under the Option or Unit Appreciation Right as to which the right granted under this Section 7(b) shall have been exercised.

(c) Acceleration and Exercise Following a Change of Control. If following a Change of Control, a Participant's employment is subsequently terminated without Cause or for Good Reason within 24 months of the Change of Control, any such Awards that remain unvested shall become fully and immediately vested and exercisable upon the date of the Participant's termination, all applicable deferral and restriction limitations shall lapse, and an Award that is an Option or a Unit Appreciation Right shall remain exercisable until the later of the date five years after the date of such termination and the date the Award would have expired by its terms if the Participant's employment had not been terminated.

SECTION 8. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.

Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law:

(a) Amendments to the Plan. Except as required by the rules of the principal securities exchange on which the Units are traded, the Board or the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan in any manner, including increasing the number of Units available for Awards under the Plan, without the consent of any partner, Participant, other holder or beneficiary of an Award, or other Person.

(b) Amendments to Awards. The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter any Award theretofore granted, provided no change, other than pursuant to Section 8(c), in any Award shall materially reduce the benefit to Participant without the consent of such Participant.

(c) Adjustment of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. The Committee is hereby authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 4(c) of the Plan) affecting the Partnership or the financial statements of the Partnership, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to

-13-

prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or such Award.

SECTION 9. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

(a) No Rights to Award. No Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.

(b) Tax Withholding. The Company or any Affiliate is authorized to withhold from any Award, from any payment due or transfer made under any Award or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the amount (in cash, Units, other securities, Units that would otherwise be issued pursuant to such Award or other property) of any applicable taxes payable in respect of the grant of an Award, its exercise, the lapse of restrictions thereon, or any payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations for the payment of such taxes.

(c) No Right to Employment or Services. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate, to continue as a Consultant, or to remain on the Board, as applicable. Further, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or terminate a consulting relationship, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, any Award Agreement or other agreement.

(d) Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

(e) Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

-14-

(f) Other Laws. The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Units or other consideration under an Award if, in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Units or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation, the rules of the principal securities exchange on which the Units are then traded, or entitle the Partnership or an Affiliate to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Company by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary.

(g) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any participating Affiliate and a Participant or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any participating Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any general unsecured creditor of the Company or any participating Affiliate.

(h) No Fractional Units. No fractional Units shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Units or whether such fractional Units or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated.

(i) Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.

(j) Facility Payment. Any amounts payable hereunder to any person under legal disability or who, in the judgment of the Committee, is unable to properly manage his financial affairs, may be paid to the legal representative of such person, or may be applied for the benefit of such person in any manner which the Committee may select, and the Company and its Affiliates shall be relieved of any further liability for payment of such amounts.

(k) Participation by Affiliates. In making Awards to Consultants and Employees employed by an entity other than by the Company, the Committee shall be acting on behalf of the Affiliate, and to the extent the Partnership has an obligation to reimburse the Company for compensation paid to Consultants and Employees for services rendered for the benefit of the Partnership, such payments or reimbursement payments may be made by the Partnership directly to the Affiliate, and, if made to the Company, shall be received by the Company as agent for the Affiliate.

-15-

(1) Gender and Number. Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.

SECTION 10. TERM OF THE PLAN.

The Plan shall be effective on the date of its approval by the Board and shall continue until the earlier of (a) the date terminated by the Board and (b) the date Units are no longer available for the payment of Awards under the Plan. However, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award granted prior to such termination, and the authority of the Board or the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under such Award, shall extend beyond such termination date.

Before instructing Owners to direct the Vessel to any port, Charterers shall exercise due diligence to ascertain the safety of such port, but Charterers do not warrant the safety of any port and shall be under no liability in respect thereof except for loss or damage caused by Charterers' failure to exercise due diligence.

17.2 Charterers shall have the option of transferring the whole or part of the cargo (which shall include topping-off and lightening) to or from any other vessel including, but not limited to, an oceangoing vessel, barge and/or lighter (the "Transfer Vessel").

All transfers of cargo to or from Transfer Vessels shall be carried out in accordance with the recommendations set out in the latest edition of the "ICS/OCIMF Ship to Ship Transfer Guide (Petroleum)". Owners undertake that the Vessel and its crew shall comply with such recommendations, and similarly Charterers undertake that the Transfer Vessel and its crew shall comply with such recommendations. Charterers shall provide and pay for all necessary equipment including suitable fenders and cargo hoses. Charterers shall have the right, at their expense, to appoint supervisory personnel to attend on board the Vessel, including a mooring master, to assist in such transfers of cargo.

18. PERFORMANCE OF VESSEL - SPEED AND CONSUMPTION

18.1 Unless otherwise ordered by Charterers, the Vessel shall perform all voyages at the service speed stated in the Questionnaire.

18.2 Owners warrant that the Vessel is and shall remain capable of maintaining, throughout the Charter Period, the speeds and bunker consumptions for

PAGE 10

Charterers shall have the right to make deductions from hire in respect of any time lost and any additional bunkers consumed by reason of the Vessel's failure to maintain the warranted capability.

19. OFF-HIRE

19.1 The Vessel shall be off-hire on each and every occasion that there is a loss of time arising out of or in connection with the Vessel being unable to comply with Charterers' instructions (whether by way of interruption or reduction in the Vessel's services, or in any other manner) on account of:

19.1.1 any damage, defect, breakdown, deficiency of or accident to the Vessel's hull, machinery, equipment or cargo handling facilities, or maintenance thereto; or

19.1.2 any default and/or deficiency of the Master, officers or crew, including the failure or refusal or inability of the Master, officers and/or crew to perform the services required; or

19.1.3 any breach of sub-clause 9.6.5; or

Notwithstanding the aforesaid, if the total loss of time pursuant to this sub-clause 19.1 is less than three hours in any one calendar month, the Vessel shall not be off-hire.

19.2 If the Vessel deviates, unless ordered to do so by Charterers, it shall be off-hire from the commencement of such deviation until the Vessel is again ready to resume its service from a position not less favourable to Charterers than that at which the deviation commenced. For the purposes of this Clause the term deviation shall include stopping, reducing speed, putting back or putting into any port or place other than that to which it is bound under the instructions of Charterers for any reason whatsoever, including for maintenance, dry-docking, taking on stores or fresh water, but shall exclude deviations made to save life or property. Should the Vessel deviate to avoid bad weather or be driven into port or anchorage by stress of weather, the Vessel shall remain on hire and all port costs thereby incurred and bunkers consumed shall be for Charterers' account. Any service given or distance made good by the Vessel while off-hire shall be taken into account in assessing the amount to be deducted from hire.

19.3 Any time during which the Vessel is off-hire under this Charter may be added, at Charterers' option, to the Charter Period. Such option shall be declared in

PAGE 11

writing not less than one month before the expected date of redelivery, or promptly if such event occurs less than one month before the expiry of the Charter Period. If Charterers exercise their option to extend the Charter Period pursuant to this Clause, the Charter Period shall be deemed to include such extension and hire shall be payable at the rate(s) which would have been payable but for the relevant off-hire event.

20. LAYING UP

Charterers shall have the option to lay up the Vessel at a place nominated by them and acceptable to Owners. Charterers shall exercise due diligence to ascertain the safety of such place but shall be under no liability in respect thereof except for loss or damage caused by Charterers' failure to exercise due diligence. If Charterers exercise the option to lay up the Vessel then the hire stipulated in PART 1, Section H shall be adjusted to reflect any net increase in expenditure reasonably incurred (including but not limited to costs reasonably incurred in preparing the Vessel for lay up as well as restoring it to the condition in which it was immediately prior to laying up) or net saving which should reasonably be made by Owners as a result of such lay up.

21. STORAGE

Charterers shall have the option of using the Vessel for floating storage but Charterers undertake not to use the Vessel for floating storage in areas where additional premiums for War Risks Insurance are charged by the Vessel's War Risks Insurance underwriters.

22. SUB-LET

Charterers may sub-let the Vessel without prejudice to the respective rights and obligations of either party under this Charter.

23. SUPERNUMERARIES

Charterers may send supernumeraries in the Vessel's available accommodation upon any voyage made under this Charter. In such event Owners shall provide provisions and all requisites, as supplied to officers, except alcohol

24. VESSEL/CARGO INSPECTIONS/BUNKER SURVEYS

Charterers shall be entitled to cause their representative (which term includes any independent surveyor appointed by Charterers) to carry out inspections of the Vessel and/or observe cargo operations and/or ascertain the quantity and quality of the cargo, water and residues on board, including the taking of cargo samples, inspection and copying of the Vessel's logs, documents and records (which shall include but not be limited to the personal notes of the Master, officers or crew relating to the operation of the Vessel, the rough log book and computer generated data) at any loading and/or discharge port. Charterers' representative may also conduct any of the aforementioned operations at or off any other port to which Charterers may require the Master to divert the Vessel at any time after leaving any loading port. Charterers

PAGE 12

shall obtain the consent of the owners of any cargo on board at the time before requiring the Vessel to be diverted.

Charterers' representative shall be entitled to survey, and take samples from, any or all of the Vessel's cargo tanks, bunker fuel tanks and non-cargo spaces at any place referred to above.

If any term of this Bill of Lading be repugnant to that legislation to any extent, such term shall be void to that extent but no further. Neither the Hague Rules nor the Hague/Visby Rules shall apply to this Bill of Lading where the goods carried hereunder consist of live animals or cargo which by this Bill of Lading is stated as being carried on deck and is so carried.

(2) Save where the Hague or Hague/Visby Rules apply by reason of (1) above, this Bill of Lading shall take effect subject to any national law in force at the port of shipment or place of issue of the Bill of Lading making the United Nations Convention on the Carriage of Goods by Sea 1978 (the Hamburg Rules) compulsorily applicable to this Bill of Lading in which case this Bill of Lading shall have effect subject to the Hamburg Rules which shall nullify any stipulation derogating therefrom to the detriment of the shipper or consignee.

26. SALVAGE

The Master is authorised to render assistance to other vessels. All salvage and remuneration for such assistance shall be for Owners' and Charterers' equal benefit after deducting the

PAGE 13

Master's and Crew's proportion and all costs, expenses and sacrifices (including but not limited to loss of time, off-hire, hire paid, repairs to the Vessel and bunker fuel consumed). Any non-contractual liability to third parties shall be for Owners' account unless it solely affects the salvage remuneration.

27. ICE

The Vessel shall not be required to enter or remain in any icebound port or area, nor any port or area where lights, lightships, markers or buoys have been or are about to be withdrawn by reason of ice, nor where on account of ice there is, in the Master's sole discretion, a risk that, in the ordinary course of events, the Vessel will not be able safely to enter and remain at the port or area or to depart after completion of loading or discharging. The Vessel shall not be obliged to force ice but, subject to Owners' prior approval, may follow ice-breakers when reasonably required, with due regard to its size, construction and class. If, on account of ice, the Master in his sole discretion considers it unsafe to proceed to, enter or remain at the place of loading or discharging for fear of the Vessel being frozen in and/or damaged, he shall be at liberty to sail to the nearest ice-free place and there await Charterers' instructions.

28. REQUISITION

Should the Vessel be requisitioned by any government, de facto or de jure, during the period of this Charter, the Vessel shall be off-hire during the period of such requisition, and any hire paid by such government and costs incurred in respect of such requisition shall be for Owners' account.

29. OUTBREAK OF WAR

Either party may cancel this Charter on the outbreak of war or hostilities between any two or more of the following countries: the United States of America, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, France and the People's Republic of China.

30. WAR RISKS

30.1 For the purpose of this Clause, the words:

30.1.1 "Owners" shall include the shipowners, bareboat charterers, disponent owners, managers or other operators who are charged with the management of the Vessel, and the Master; and

30.1.2 "War Risks" shall include any war (whether actual or threatened), act of war, civil war, hostilities, revolution, rebellion, civil commotion, warlike operations, the laying of mines (whether actual or reported), acts of piracy, acts of terrorists, acts of hostility or malicious damage, blockades (whether imposed against all vessels or imposed selectively against vessels of certain flags or ownership, or against certain cargoes or crews or otherwise howsoever), by any person, body, terrorist or

PAGE 14

political group, or the Government of any state whatsoever, which, in the reasonable judgement of the Master and/or Owners, may be dangerous or are likely to be or to become dangerous to the Vessel, its cargo, crew or other persons on board the Vessel.

30.2 The Vessel, unless the written consent of Owners be first obtained, shall not be ordered to or required to continue to or through, any port, place, area or zone (whether of land or sea), or any waterway or canal, where it appears that the Vessel, its cargo, crew or other persons on board the Vessel, in the reasonable judgement of the Master and/or Owners, may be, or are likely to be, exposed to War Risks. Should the Vessel be within any such place as aforesaid, which only becomes dangerous, or is likely to be or to become dangerous, after its entry into it, the Vessel shall be at liberty to leave it.

30.3 The Vessel shall not be required to load contraband cargo, or to pass through any blockade, whether such blockade be imposed on all vessels or is imposed selectively in any way whatsoever against vessels of certain flags or ownership, or against certain cargoes or crews or otherwise howsoever, or to proceed to an area where it shall be subject, or is likely to be subject to a belligerent's right of search and/or confiscation.

30.4 Owners may effect war risks insurance in respect of the Hull and Machinery of the Vessel and their other interests (including, but not limited to, loss of earnings and detention, the crew and their Protection and Indemnity Risks), and the premiums and/or calls therefor shall be for their account.

If the Underwriters of such insurance should require payment of premiums and/or calls because, pursuant to Charterers' orders, the Vessel is within, or is due to enter and remain within, any area or areas which are specified by such Underwriters as being subject to additional premiums because of War Risks, then such premiums and/or calls shall be reimbursed by Charterers to Owners at the same time as the next payment of hire is due.

30.5 If Owners become liable under the terms of employment to pay the crew any bonus or additional wages in respect of sailing into an area which is dangerous in the manner defined by the said terms, then such bonus or additional wages shall be reimbursed to Owners by Charterers at the same time as the next payment of hire is due.

30.6 The Vessel shall have liberty:

30.6.1 to comply with all orders, directions, recommendations or advice as to departure, arrival, routes, sailing in convoy, ports of call, stoppages, destinations, discharge of cargo, delivery, or in any other way whatsoever, which are given by the Government of the Nation under whose flag the Vessel sails, or other Government to whose laws Owners are subject, or any other Government, body or group

PAGE 15

whatsoever acting with the power to compel compliance with their orders or directions;

30.6.2 to comply with the orders, directions or recommendations of any war risks underwriters who have the authority to give the same under the terms of the war risks insurance;

30.6.3 to comply with the terms of any resolution of the Security Council of the United Nations, any directives of the European Community, the effective orders of any other supranational body which has the right to issue and give the same, and with national laws aimed at enforcing the same to which Owners are subject, and to obey the orders and directions of those who are charged with their enforcement;

30.6.4 to divert and discharge at any other port any cargo or part thereof which may render the Vessel liable to confiscation as a contraband carrier;

30.6.5 to divert and call at any other port to change the crew or any part thereof or other persons on board the Vessel when there is reason to believe that they may be subject to internment, imprisonment or other sanctions.

30.7 If in accordance with their rights under the foregoing provisions of this Clause, Owners refuse to proceed to the loading or discharging ports, or any one or more of them, they shall immediately inform Charterers.

31. GENERAL AVERAGE

General Average shall be adjusted and settled in London in accordance with the York-Antwerp Rules, 1994 or any subsequent modification thereof.

32. NEW JASON

If, notwithstanding Clause 31, General Average is adjusted in accordance with the law and practice of the USA, the following provision shall apply:

"In the event of accident, danger, damage or disaster before or after the commencement of the voyage, resulting from any cause whatsoever, whether due to negligence or not, for which, or for the consequence of which, the carrier is not responsible, by statute, contract or otherwise, the cargo, shippers, consignees or owners of the cargo shall contribute with the carrier in general average to the payment of any sacrifices, losses or expenses of a general average nature that may be made or incurred and shall pay salvage and special charges incurred in respect of the cargo.

If a salving ship is owned or operated by the carrier, salvage shall be paid for as fully as if the said salving ship or ships belonged to strangers. Such deposit as the carrier or his agents may deem sufficient to cover the estimated contribution of the cargo and

PAGE 16

any salvage and special charges thereon shall, if required, be made by the cargo, shippers, consignees or owners of the cargo to the carrier before delivery".

33. BOTH-TO-BLAME COLLISION

If the liability for any collision in which the Vessel is involved while performing this Charter falls to be determined in accordance with the laws of the USA, or the laws of any State which applies laws similar to those applied in the USA in the circumstances envisaged by this Clause 33, the following provision shall apply:

"If the Vessel comes into collision with another vessel as a result of the negligence of the other vessel and any act, neglect or default of the Master, mariner, pilot or the servants of the carrier in the navigation or in the management of the Vessel, the owners of the goods carried hereunder will indemnify the carrier against all loss or liability to the other or non-carrying vessel or its owners in so far as such loss or liability represents loss of, or damage to, or any claim whatsoever of the owners of said goods, paid or payable by the other or non-carrying vessel or its owners to the owners of said goods and set off, recouped or recovered by the other or non-carrying vessel or its owners as part of their claim against the carrying vessel or carrier.

The foregoing provisions shall also apply where the owner, operators or those in charge of any vessel or vessels or objects other than, or in addition to, the colliding vessels or objects are at fault in respect of collision or contact."

Whilst Charterers shall procure that all bills of lading and waybills issued under this Charter shall contain a provision in the foregoing terms, to be applicable where the liability for any collision in which the Vessel is involved falls to be determined under the preamble of this Clause 33, Charterers neither warrant nor undertake that such provision shall be effective. In the event that such provision proves ineffective Charterers shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein provided, not be obliged to indemnify Owners.

34. OIL POLLUTION PREVENTION

34.1 Owners undertake that the Vessel is a tanker owned by a member of the International Tanker Owners' Pollution Federation Limited and will so remain throughout the period of this Charter.

34.2 When an escape or discharge of Oil occurs from the Vessel and causes or threatens to cause Pollution Damage, or when there is the threat of an escape or discharge of Oil (i.e., a grave and imminent danger of the escape or discharge of Oil which, if it occurred, would create a serious danger of Pollution Damage, whether or not an escape or discharge in fact subsequently occurs), then upon notice to Owners or Master, Charterers shall have the right (but shall not be obliged) to place on board the Vessel and/or have in attendance at the incident one or more Charterers' representatives to observe the measures being taken by Owners and/or national or local authorities or their respective servants, agents or contractors to prevent or minimise Pollution Damage and to

PAGE 17

provide advice, equipment or manpower or undertake such other measures, at Charterers' risk and expense, as are permitted under applicable law and as Charterers believe are reasonably necessary to prevent or minimise such Pollution Damage or to remove the threat of an escape or discharge of Oil.

34.3 The provisions of this Clause 34 shall be without prejudice to any other rights and/or duties of Charterers or Owners whether arising under this Charter or under applicable law or under any International Convention.

34.4 In this Clause the terms "Oil" and "Pollution Damage" shall have the same meaning as that defined in the Civil Liability Convention 1969 or any Protocol thereto.

35. EXCEPTIONS

35.1 The provisions of Article III (other than Rule 8 thereof), IV, IV bis, VII and VIII of the Schedule to the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1971 of the United Kingdom shall apply to this Charter and shall be deemed to be inserted in extenso herein. This Charter shall be deemed to be a contract for the carriage of goods by sea to which the said Articles apply, and no regard shall be had to Article I of the said Schedule. However, nothing in this Clause shall be deemed to modify, limit or exclude the parties' rights and obligations as set out in Clauses 1, 9, 10, 11, 18 and 19 hereof.

35.2 Where a claim for indemnity is brought under this Charter, the defending party shall be entitled to rely on all defences and limitations, whether founded on contract, tort, legislation or convention, that the claimant could have relied on in the principal action or in relation to the principal claim.

35.3 Notwithstanding the aforesaid:

35.3.1 Where a claim for indemnity relating to a claim pursued by a third party is brought under this Charter, such claim shall be extinguished unless suit is commenced within twelve (12) months of the principal claim being settled by the parties thereto or determined by the final, unappealable judgment of a competent court.

35.3.2 All other claims shall be subject to the statutory limitation period.

36. LAW

The construction, validity and performance of this Charter shall be governed by English Law. The High Court in London shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute which may arise out of this Charter.

Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the parties may jointly elect to have any such dispute referred to arbitration in London pursuant to the Arbitration Act 1996 or any modification or re-

PAGE 18

enactment thereof for the time being in force and under the Terms of the London Maritime Arbitrators' Association before a tribunal consisting of three arbitrators.

(ii) Execution of the Management Agreement in conditions acceptable to the AGENT.

Similarly, the following shall be necessary common conditions for the first and successive drawdowns of the Loan by the BORROWER:

[Handwritten signature]
[15/186]

- That the Declarations and Guarantees granted by the BORROWER in this agreement are fully in force.

- That no cause for Early Maturity or circumstance that could lead thereto arises when Drawdown is made.

2.- The BORROWER shall dispose of the Total Amount of the Loan by successive drawdowns, in accordance with the following calendar:

  DATE            AMOUNT (EUROS)
 2/10/00           21,879,000

15/08/03           51,284,000

In the event that the date on which the last drawdown is to be made does not coincide with the Date of Delivery of the Vessel, the BORROWER shall be obliged, in all events, to dispose of the amount corresponding to that drawdown although the amount of 5,950,000 euros shall be frozen as a minimum unavailable balance in the Income Account and that amount shall only be disposed of on the date on which the Vessel is actually delivered.

Failure by the BORROWER to draw down the Total Amount of the Loan pursuant to the above calendar and in the amounts indicated shall determine the obligation to pay costs associated, as the case may be, with amendment or termination of the IRS Agreements and other financial costs in which the LENDERS may incur in relation thereto, without prejudice to payment of the Availability Commission mentioned in Clause FIVE.

The application for drawdown shall be made by telex or telefax and a subsequent letter of confirmation signed by the person or persons granted sufficient authority from the BORROWER and shall be received by the AGENT no later than 10.00 (ten) a.m. on the third Business Day prior to the drawdown date, indicating the exact amount of the drawdown to be made and the exact date on which it is intended to be made ("Drawdown Date").

Notwithstanding the above, the first Drawdown Date shall be 2 October 2000 and, accordingly, it shall be understood that the abovementioned formalities have been carried out for the purpose of the first drawdown, and the amount corresponding to that drawdown shall be deposited with that date.

3.- At the end of the Loan drawdown, instalments shall be shown in a schedule to this Agreement, using the model given in Schedule II granted between the BORROWER and the AGENT, acting on behalf of each of the LENDERS, of which a copy shall be sent to the BORROWER and to each of the LENDERS. That schedule shall be incorporated in this Agreement as an integral part hereof. It shall be signed when the last drawdown has been made, and the BORROWER shall undertake to appear before the notary public indicated by the Agent for such purpose.

4.- All amounts drawn down during the Drawdown Period plus interests capitalised shall be consolidated and divided at that time into Tranches A and B of the Loan, provided the sum of both amounts does not exceed the limits established for each Tranche; otherwise, the BORROWER shall be obliged to repay the excess in anticipation.

SEVEN.- EVIDENCE AND CALCULATIONS

1.- For the purpose of this agreement, the AGENT shall open and keep a special account in the name of the BORROWER in its books. In that account, the AGENT shall debit the amount of successive Loan drawdowns, as well as interests, commissions, expenses, delay interests, additional costs and all other amounts accrued, in accordance with this Agreement, and which are payable by the BORROWER. Similarly, all amounts received by the AGENT from the BORROWER shall deposited therein for distribution among the LENDERS, so that the balance of this account represents the Live Debt at all times.

2.- In addition to the unified account described in the preceding point, each of the LENDERS shall open and keep a special Loan account in the name of the BORROWER in its books, in which it shall debit the amounts deposited therein through the AGENT, plus interests, commissions, expenses and delay interests, additional costs and any other amounts payable by the BORROWER to that LENDER in respect of any of the items shown in this Agreement, and into which it shall pay all amounts received by the LENDER from the BORROWER through the AGENT.

3.- In the event of assignment pursuant to the provisions of Clause TWENTY-THREE, the Assignor shall totally or partially cancel those accounts, and the assignee shall pay the pertinent amounts.

4.- It is expressly agreed that, for the purpose of accountability in judicial proceedings that may be brought in events of normal or early maturity of this Agreement, in accordance with its terms, the balance shown when the AGENT or the corresponding LENDER closes the accounts mentioned in the preceding points shall be considered a liquid and accountable balance, barring error to the contrary.

To accredit the liquid amount of the balance accountable, it shall suffice for the AGENT or the LENDER to attach a certificate authorised by a Notary Public to this document, accrediting the balance or debt claimed, that this balance coincides with that shown in the aforementioned accounts opened for the BORROWER by the AGENT or by the LENDER in question, and that settlement was made in the manner agreed by the parties in this Clause, in accordance with the provisions of article 1.435 of the Civil Procedure Act.

[Handwritten signature]
[19/186]

Accordingly, to exercise executive action against the BORROWER, including events of termination of this Agreement or loss of the grace period by the BORROWER, it shall suffice to present:

(i) any one of the signed and mediated copies of this Agreement;

(ii) the certificate accrediting that the Agreement coincides with what is shown in the Notary's Protocol; and

(iii) the irrefutable or mediated document that incorporates the balance certificate issued by the LENDERS and which fulfils the remaining legal requirements.

EIGHT.- INTEREST PERIODS

1.- The life of the Loan shall be divided into Interest Periods, which shall have a duration of one (1) month, during the Drawdown Period and during the Amortisation Period. Interest Periods shall coincide with calendar months, so that the first Interest Period shall run from the first Drawdown Date until the last day of the calendar month in which that drawdown was made. Similarly, an Interest Period may have a shorter duration that one month if commencement of the Amortisation Period does not coincide with a calendar month.

Maturity of each Interest Period shall in no event be subsequent to the Final Maturity Date of the Loan or successive Amortisation Dates.

2.- Each Interest Period shall commence on the date of termination of the immediately preceding Interest Period. To calculate the various Interest Periods, it shall be understood that the first day thereof is included in that Interest period and the last day is excluded.

3.- In the event that, in accordance with the procedure established in Clause NINE, point two, and Clause TEN, it is not possible to apply the aforementioned Interest Period, due to the absence of quotation, the Interest Period shall be reduced depending on whether a quotation exists.

NINE.- ORDINARY RATE OF INTEREST

1.- The Ordinary Rate of Interest applicable to the Loan shall be calculated by the AGENT, by adding the Margin applicable to EURIBOR, as described hereinbelow.

19

[Stamp with the mention:
`WITH MY MEDIATION In the terms shown in the certificate of mediation.']
[Handwritten signature]
[20/186]

If the sum of EURIBOR and the Margin is not a multiple of 1/16%, it shall be rounded up to the nearest multiple of 1/16%.

2.- EURIBOR (Euro Interbank Offered Rate) shall be the rate calculated and distributed by the BRIDGE financial information system ordered by the FBI (Federation Bancaire de l'Union Europeenne), currently published on the Reuter EURIBOR 01 screen at approximately 11 (eleven) a.m. on the second Business Day according to the TARGET (Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System) prior to the date of commencement of the pertinent Interest Period, for deposits in euros for a term equal to the Interest Period in question, increased by any tax, rate, levy or surcharge applied or that may be applied in the future to this type of operations, plus normal mediation costs which, as the case may be, may be applicable and taxes thereon.

3.- The Margin shall be:

(i) during the Drawdown Period, 0.70% per annum on EURIBOR;

(ii) during the Amortisation Period, 1.10% per annum on EURIBOR for Tranche A and 1.30% per annum on EURIBOR for Tranche B.

4.- Calculation of the total amount of interests accrued in each period shall be made in accordance with the following formula:

Interests = Capital pending repayment plus interests capitalised and accrued at the beginning of each period, multiplied by one percent of nominal ordinary interest and by the number of calendar days in the period and all divided by THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY (360) DAYS.

5.- The corresponding Equivalent Annual Rate (E.A.R.) shall be calculated in accordance with the mathematical formula contained in appendix number 5 to Circular 8/1990, issued by the Bank of Spain, published in Official State Gazette no. 226, of 20 September 1990, amended by circular 13/1993, issued by the Bank of Spain, published in Official State Gazette no. 313, and shall be communicated by the AGENT to the BORROWER, by telex or telefax, along with the nominal interest rate that results for the interest period in question.

6.- In the event of Interest Periods with a duration other than those established in Clause EIGHT 1 for which no quotation has been published by BRIDGE, the rate corresponding to the closest duration for which a quotation is offered by BRIDGE shall be applied, to which all items shown in Clause NINE 2 and the Margin shall be added.

20

[Stamp with the mention:

[Handwritten signature]
[21/186]

7.- The interest rate applicable to the first Interest Period shall be 5.5625%.

TEN.- REPLACEMENT RATE OF INTEREST

1.- PRINCIPAL REPLACEMENT RATE OF INTEREST

Whenever it is impossible to determine the rate of interest in accordance with the provisions of Clause NINE 2 above, the replacement rate of interest to be applied shall be the result of the sum of EURIBOR, as defined in Clause NINE for interest periods with a shorter duration, plus the margin established in Clause NINE 3, rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest multiple of 1/16%.

2.- SUBORDINATE REPLACEMENT RATE OF INTEREST

In the event that it is not possible either to determine, due to market circumstances, the rate of interest applicable in accordance with the provisions of the preceding point, a subordinate replacement rate of interest shall be applied during that period, determined in the manner established in the following paragraphs, which shall be communicated by the AGENT to the BORROWER on the same day as the corresponding rate of interest is established, which shall be determined by adding the following components:

- the arithmetical mean of interbank rates of interest offered to the Reference Banks in the Euro Zone Interbank Market, at approximately 11:00 a.m. on the business day immediately prior to that of commencement of the interest period, for deposits of an equal amount or considerably equal to the amount of loan pending amortisation, and for a term equal to the interest period in question, increased by:

- Taxes, rates, contributions, State or other surcharges, levied on interests on deposits obtained in the interbank market.

- The Margin, in accordance with point 3 of Clause NINE above.

The result of adding the aforementioned components shall be rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest multiple of 1/16%.

For the purpose of this Clause, the Reference Banks are:

Banco Santander Central Hispano, S.A. Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria
Deutsche Bank

The mechanism for determining the replacement rate of interest shall be:

21

[Stamp with the mention:
`WITH MY MEDIATION In the terms shown in the certificate of mediation.']
[Handwritten signature]
[22/186]

The Reference Banks shall advise the AGENT, during the morning of the business day prior to the date of commencement of the pertinent interest period, the interbank rates of interest applicable with which the AGENT must calculate, on the same day, the arithmetical mean to be used as a basis to determine the EURIBOR Replacement Rate of Interest applicable to the interest period in question and to the amount in question, which it shall communicate to the BORROWER and to the LENDERS in accordance with the provisions of this point.

In the event that any Reference Bank should fail to indicate that rate of interest or in the event that the Reference Banks have not been offered term deposits equivalent to the interest period in question in the Euro Zone Interbank Market, the arithmetical mean shall be ascertained from among those quoted, provided that at least two of the Reference Banks are involved.

Any of the Reference Banks shall cease to be so when they fail to make the communications required, in accordance with the provisions of the preceding point of this Clause, in relation to two or more interest periods.

In the event that any of the Reference Banks were to merge, be absorbed by or absorb another credit institution, it shall be substituted for the purposes established in the Clauses of this Agreement by the new institution that results. If, on the contrary, spin-off of any of the Reference Banks should take place, the BORROWER shall be entitled to opt for one of the spun-off institutions.

Substitution of those Reference Banks shall be formalised by a new appointment agreed, at the proposal of the AGENT, by the Majority of LENDERS, with the consent of the BORROWER.

Having established the replacement rate of interest, either principal or subordinate, the BORROWER and all LENDERS shall be advised before 9:00
a.m. on the day of commencement of the interest period.

3.- REINSTATEMENT OF THE ORDINARY RATE OF INTEREST

The Replacement Rate of Interest, both Principal and Subordinate, shall be applied while the circumstances on which it is based remain in force and the Ordinary Rate of Interests shall again be applied as soon as the Euro Zone Interbank Market permits, and shall be immediately notified by the AGENT to the BORROWER.

In the event of application of Replacement rates of Interest, as many settlements as there are different replacement rates used shall be made, each for the number of days of application of the respective rate, and shall be paid by the BORROWER every fortnight, capitalised if the Interest Period of the Replacement Rate of Interest had a duration of less than fifteen (15) days or at the end of the shorter period that may result in the event of reinstatement of application of rates of interest rates based on Ordinary EURIBOR.

1.- The AGENT shall calculate the rate of interest applicable to the Interest Period in question, in accordance with the provisions of the preceding Clauses, which it shall communicate by telex or telefax to the BORROWER and to the other LENDERS on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of commencement of the corresponding Interest Period and before Two (2:00) p.m.

2.- The BORROWER shall, in turn, inexcusably, before 9:30 a.m. on the day of commencement of the Interest Period in question, confirm its acceptance of the rate of interest proposed to the AGENT by telex or telefax. The BORROWER shall not refuse to accept the rate of interest communicated by the AGENT, barring manifest error that has not been corrected when determining the rate of interest. For all purposes, it is expressly agreed that if, for any reason, the BORROWER does not advise its decision to the AGENT, within the time agreed, it shall be understood at all times that the rate of interest is accepted.

3.- In the event of an error detected in calculation of the Rate of Interest applicable, while the Interest Period is in course, it shall be immediately remedied by the AGENT, and that remedy shall be effective as from the date of commencement of application of the erroneous rate.

4.- For the purpose of the Rate of Interest applicable to the First Interest Period and inasmuch as this is determined in this Agreement, the Parties have completed the formality to which this Clause refers.

TWELVE.- INTEREST ACCRUAL AND SETTLEMENT

1.- Each Drawdown shall accrue daily interest at the Rate of Interest established in this Agreement, in favour of the LENDERS.

2.- Those interests shall be settled and shall be accountable, without the need for any requirement, at maturity of each Interest period and shall be paid before 10:30 a.m. on the last day of each Interest Period. Exceptionally, interests accrued during the Drawdown period shall be capitalised together with the principal drawn down for the purpose of accrual of new interests, and shall be settled in their total amount capitalised on the last date of the Drawdown period. The amount of those interests capitalised and settled shall be added to the figure of principal drawn down for the purpose of division of the Loan into Tranche A and Tranche B, which shall be made on that same Date.

[Handwritten signature]
[24/186]

3.- When calculating the interests to be settled on each Interest Settlement Date, a Three Hundred and Sixty (360) day year (base A/360) shall be used, and those interests shall be calculated on the exact number of Calendar Days that have elapsed in each case and on the amounts drawn down.

THIRTEEN.- DELAY INTERESTS

1.- Without prejudice to the right of termination established in Clause TWENTY-ONE, if any of the payments to be made by the BORROWER in respect of any item is not made on the date established in this Agreement, the amounts pending payment shall be deemed capitalised at simple interest and, as from the date following their maturity, shall accrue a Delay Interest in favour of the LENDERS, without the need for any requirement, which shall accrue daily and shall be settled on the payment date by the BORROWER or, as the case may be, monthly, based on a Three Hundred and Sixty (360) day year, and which shall be determined by adding Two (2) points to the Ordinary Rate of Interest.

Delay interests shall be paid voluntarily by the BORROWER at any time or, as the case may be, coinciding with the settlement date.

2.- In accordance with the provisions of article 317 of the Commercial Code, Delay Interests matured and unpaid shall be capitalised monthly and as an increase in capital due shall, in turn, accrue new interest at the Rate of Delay Interest applicable in accordance with the provisions of the preceding point.

3.- Settlements of Delay Interests shall be notified by the AGENT to the BORROWER.

FOURTEEN.- NORMAL AMORTISATION OF THE LOAN

1.- Amortisation of Tranche A

Tranche A shall be amortised in [240] monthly and consecutive amortisation instalments, the first of which shall coincide with the first month following the end of the Drawdown Period, and the last with the Final Maturity Date, in accordance with the calendar attached to this Agreement as Schedule III. Nevertheless, that calendar may be modified on the day the IRS Agreements are concluded and, in such event, the content of Schedule III shall be replaced by the new calendar.

[Stamp with the mention:
`WITH MY MEDIATION In the terms shown in the certificate of mediation.']
[Handwritten signature]
[25/186]

2.- Amortisation of Tranche B

Tranche B shall be amortised in one single payment coinciding with the Final Maturity Date.

3.- Amortisation Dates shall coincide with an Interest Settlement Date and the Interest Period in question shall be adjusted accordingly.

4.- From the amounts amortised, the Agent shall pay the LENDERS the proportional amount corresponding to their respective participation, by deposit into the account communicated to the Agent by each LENDER for such purpose, and on the same date as the amortisation in question is made. Should the Agent receive a repayment lower than that due, it may distribute the amount actually received to the LENDERS in proportion to their participations, without prejudice to the action to which each of the LENDERS is entitled to recover the difference.

FIFTEEN.- EARLY AMORTISATION

A) VOLUNTARY EARLY AMORTISATION

1.- The BORROWER may totally or partially amortise the Loan Principal in anticipation, provided:

a) it is made in minimum amounts of 500,000 euros and for higher amounts, in multiples of 100,000 euros, unless the BORROWER wishes to amortise the entire Live Debt in anticipation;

b) it is made with a minimum notice period of Twenty (20) Business Days if amortisation is intended during the Drawdown Period or Thirty
(30) calendar days if amortisation is intended during the Amortisation Period, in respect of the date on which early amortisation is to become effective, and this date coincides with the end of an Interest Period;

c) the BORROWER indemnifies any party concerned for damage or loss caused as a result of such early amortisation, including early amortisation or cancellation of coverage operations or any operations in relation to this Loan.

Voluntary early amortisation shall not accrue any commission unless the funds used for that purpose originate from financing granted by other financial institutions, in which case it shall accrue an early cancellation commission of 1% of the amount amortised.

25

[Handwritten signature]
[26/186]

The amounts to which Early Amortisation refers shall not be drawn down subsequently.

2.- Amounts so amortised shall be applied proportionately to both Tranche A and Tranche B and, within Tranche A, in inverse chronological order of amortisation quotas established.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding point, if the BORROWER is obliged to make payments due and accountable by virtue of the Financial Documents, the AGENT shall apply the amounts received in accordance with Clause SEVENTEEN and, as the case may be, shall apply the excess to Voluntary Early Amortisation established in this clause.

3.- Once the AGENT has received any application for Voluntary Early Amortisation, it shall notify the other LENDERS by telex or telefax, no later than the Business Day following receipt of the application.

Notification shall be irrevocable and failure, as the case may be, to effect the amortisation in question, both on the date established and with regard to its amount, shall be deemed a default on the Agreement for the purposes established in Clause TWENTY-ONE.

B) COMPULSORY EARLY AMORTISATION

The BORROWER shall undertake to amortise the Loan in anticipation in the event of a total loss of the Vessel, as defined in the pertinent insurance policies. Compulsory early amortisation shall be made no later than 120 calendar days following occurrence of the total loss and the amount of Live Debt under both Tranches shall be repaid as well as the pertinent amount of indemnity in accordance with point A)1.c) above.

SIXTEEN.- PAYMENTS BY THE BORROWER

1.- The BORROWER shall make all payments undertaken by virtue of the provisions of this Agreement in respect of Principal, interests, commissions, expenses and any other item on the date of amortisation of Principal, on the respective interest payment dates or on the dates established for the payment of commissions or on which these take place, plus other transferable expenses, and at all times before Ten Thirty (10:30) a.m. on those dates and into the Income Account held with the agent, for which purpose the AGENT is irrevocably authorised to make the pertinent debits.

3.- All payments shall be made by the BORROWER net and free of any tax, deduction or withholding from or on account of any type of tax that may be levied, at the present time and/or in the future, on those payments.

In the event that the legal obligation is established to make deductions or withholdings from or on account of any type of tax, the amount due shall be increased so that, having made that deduction or withholding, the amount received by the LENDER has exactly the same financial value as that it would have received had the tax, withholding or deduction not been made.

Having made those deductions or withholdings, the BORROWER shall furnish the LENDER, as the case may be, the pertinent document accrediting that this deduction or withholding has been made, as soon as possible.

In the event that, having made the deduction or withholding in accordance with the terms established above, the LENDERS should subsequently obtain a tax benefit deriving from that deduction or withholding, they shall pay the BORROWER the amounts of those tax benefits obtained from the deduction or withholding made.

4.- Receipt by the AGENT of payment of the Loan Principal, albeit with no express reservation of the right to interests agreed, shall not extinguish the obligation of the BORROWER in respect thereof.

5.- The payment of fees to advisers and professional mediating in the operation shall be excluded form this clause, which shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the pertinent invoices and including the withholding applicable.

SEVENTEEN.- ALLOCATION OF PAYMENTS AND COMPENSATION

The BORROWER irrevocably grants power and authority to the AGENT to apply balances existing in its favour in any current or savings accounts, term or other deposits, which the BORROWER holds with the AGENT, at the present time or in the future, to the payment of amounts due by virtue of this Agreement, including the realisation of any type of securities deposited by the BORROWER with the AGENT for the purpose of applying the product obtained to the same end.

[Handwritten signature]
[38/186]

a) Non-payment, on their respective due dates, of Principal, interests, commissions and expenses of any nature established in this Agreement.

b) Any falsehood or substantial inaccuracy in the declarations and guarantees made by the BORROWER and/or the GUARANTOR in this Agreement that affects or could affect their solvency or capacity to perform the obligations under this Agreement, as well as failure to apply the Total Amount in accordance with the provisions of Clause TWO of this Agreement.

c) Default on any of the obligations assumed by the BORROWER and/or the GUARANTOR by virtue of this Agreement, other than those included in the preceding points, in particular the obligation to register the Vessel in the second Register of the Canary Islands, evidenced by the AGENT and not remedied by the BORROWER within the Fifteen (15) days following notification thereof.

d) In the event that the BORROWER should operate the company or manage corporate assets in a manner that infringes any of the provisions of any authorisation for the exercise of commercial shipping activity.

e) Any change in the composition of the shareholding of the BORROWER that is not authorised by the LENDERS (whose authorisation shall not be unreasonably withheld provided that change in shareholding does not represent a change of control in respect of that currently existing, control being understood as defined in article 42 of the Commercial Code) or the creation of collateral rights or other encumbrances of any nature on the shares of the BORROWER (with the exception of the pledge of shares to secure this Loan) as well as any change in the composition of the shareholding of the GUARANTOR that implies a change of control thereof and has not been authorised by the LENDERS (whose authorisation shall not be unreasonably withheld).

f) Default by the BORROWER on any payment obligation assumed under agreement or legally with third parties.

g) In the event that the BORROWER and/or the GUARANTOR were to resolve or intend to resolve or adopt any resolution addressed at its conversion, liquidation or wind-up, or its spin-off or merger with an other company, or introduce or permit significant changes to be introduced in the nature of its activity, or in its business purpose, without the authorisation of the LENDERS, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Similarly, a decrease in the capital of the

38

[Stamp with the mention:
`WITH MY MEDIATION In the terms shown in the certificate of mediation.']
[Handwritten signature]
[39/186]

BORROWER without the consent of the LENDERS shall be a cause for early maturity.

h) In the event that the BORROWER and/or the GUARANTOR should become involved in a voluntary or legally imposed procedure for wind-up, with or without liquidation, or a General Shareholders' Meeting is convened in this regard, or bankruptcy, suspension or payment of similar proceedings have been commenced or accepted, or any assignment of assets is made to creditors, or the company is permanently or definitively closed, or the business activity is ceased or suspended or radically modified, or in the event of judicial seizure or administration of the company.

i) The occurrence of any contingent liability of the BORROWER that is not shown in its financial statements or in the complementary information furnished to the LENDERS when the amount thereof significantly affects the position of the LENDERS.

j) Decreased solvency of the BORROWER. By way of example, it shall be understood that this situation occurs when:

- a negative change takes place in the assets or in the financial situation of the BORROWER that significantly jeopardises the LENDERS, in the opinion of the majority of LENDERS, and that could lead to impossibility for the BORROWER to meet its obligations deriving from this Agreement;

- if, for any reason, the BORROWER should default on any payment obligation, provided the unpaid amounts, jointly or separately, exceed 100,000 euros or if judicial or administrative proceedings are brought against the BORROWER that entail execution or seizure, provided that execution or seizure refers to an amount that exceeds 100,000 euros.

k) The concurrence of any other cause which, in accordance with the Law, determines termination or early maturity of the Loan.

The same shall occur when the authorisation is revoked or could be revoked or when any condition of that authorisation is not fulfilled.

o) If any clause that the LENDERS believe to be essential in this Agreement or its guarantees should be invalid or unaccountable, or if any guarantee is invalid and unaccountable or has a lower rank of preference, or loses its preference; or if any guarantee is damaged or jeopardised by causes attributable to the BORROWER and/or the GUARANTOR. The fact that the guarantees undertaken in this Agreement cannot be formalised at the time of signature or cannot be duly constituted as soon as possible shall also be a cause for early maturity.

p) In the event of default on the ratios referred to in Clause NINETEEN above.

q) In the event that a distribution of dividends to the shareholders of the BORROWER is resolved without performing all requirements listed below:

(i) that all obligations deriving from this Agreement have been fulfilled and there is no Cause for Early Maturity;

(ii) that the Reserve Account and other compulsory accounts pursuant to this Agreement have been provisioned;

(iii) that distribution is made exclusively against the remainder of the Income Account for free disposal by the BORROWER.

2.- Notwithstanding the right of each LENDER to declare Early Maturity of the Agreement in the part that affects then, the Declaration of Early Maturity of this Agreement in its entirety by the LENDERS, and the ensuing obligation of the BORROWER to make repayment by virtue of any of the causes set forth in this Clause, shall require the prior favourable resolution of the Majority of LENDERS.

3.- When the Declaration of Early Maturity of this Agreement in its entirety is commenced by the LENDERS pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the BORROWER shall undertake, within the Fifteen (15) Calendar Days following the notification of maturity made for such purpose by the AGENT, to repay the total amount of Principal, plus interests, commissions and other documentarily justified expenses, including, by way of example, all expenses and costs associated with dismantling the IRS Agreements or other coverage operations in relation to this Agreement.

5.- If the favourable resolution of the Majority of LENDERS referred to in point 2 above is not obtained within one (1) month following the date of denunciation of the existence of a cause for early maturity by any them, those LENDERS denouncing the cause and/or that have voted in favour of termination of the Agreement may sever from the Syndicate of LENDERS and commence the procedure described in points 3 and 4 above, in respect of their Participations in the Loan to which this Agreement refers.

The LENDERS may apply any balance in their favour to the payment of any amount due and unpaid by the BORROWER under this Agreement. Those amounts obtained from the compensation mentioned above shall be given to the AGENT by the LENDER that obtained them so that the latter can make the proportional distribution mentioned in the preceding paragraph.

1

He acts by virtue of the authorities he was conferred in the public deed executed on 17 July 2003 before Vigo Notary Mr. Miguel Lucas Sanchez, with number 1.135 of his protocol, and of the power contained in Clause 22.7 of the Loan Agreement to which reference will be made hereinbelow.

RECITALS

I. Whereas on 2 October 2000, and with the mediation of Madrid Notary Mr. Jose Enrique Cachon Blanco, the BORROWER entered into a syndicated loan agreement with CAIXANOVA, LA CAIXA, CAJA MADRID and ICO for an amount of 150,710,000 Euros. Subsequently, the remaining LENDERS joined the loan agreement by virtue of an agreement on amendment and assignment of participations signed before Madrid Notary Mr. Luis Ramallo Garcia on 31 October 2000 and by virtue of another agreement on the assignment of participations signed on 15 December 2000 before the same notary, Mr. Luis Ramallo Garcia. Hereinafter, the loan agreement and the amendments and assignments mentioned in this recital shall be denominated the "LOAN AGREEMENT".

II. Whereas the Loan Agreement establishes, in its clause TWENTY-TWO 7, that the AGENT shall be granted authorities so that, on behalf of the syndicate of LENDERS, he may substitute the Basic Case of the Loan Agreement whenever necessary due to the conclusion of the IRS Agreements, and to make other amendments or to grant the documents that may be required for such purpose.

III. Whereas in the agreement on amendment and assignment of participations signed by the parties (inter alia) on 31 October 2000, with the mediation of Madrid Notary Mr. Luis Ramallo Garcia, it was agreed to substitute the Basic Case of the Loan Agreement, inasmuch as the IRS Agreements were concluded on that date.

IV. Whereas notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties have detected that determined material errors occurred in the Basic Case incorporated in the agreement mentioned in recital III hereof, as the correct figures obtained once the IRS Agreement had been concluded were not included in the basic case attached to that agreement.

V. Whereas, accordingly, they wish to substitute the Basic Case of the Loan Agreement, with the sole aim of remedying the error mentioned in the preceding recital and to include the correct figures that result from conclusion of the IRS Agreements, which they do by signature of this agreement on remedy, which shall be governed by the following

1.1. Loan Accounts

With regard to the Loan Accounts regulated in Clause TWENTY of the Loan Agreement, the parties have agreed as follows:

- The Maintenance and Repairs Account is eliminated;

- The Grounding Account will hereinafter be endowed biannually instead of monthly;

- The endowment of the Reserve Account will take place in accordance with Exhibit I to this Agreement. Nevertheless, the balance of the Reserve Account may be less than the one that corresponds to each one of the dates established in the aforementioned Exhibit I ("REFERENCE DATES") providing that: (i) the existence of agreements is accredited by the Borrower - to the satisfaction of the Agent - relative to the coverage of interest rates in force to ensure that the balance of the Reserve Account coincides with the contents of the aforementioned Exhibit for a subsequent Reference Date, and (ii) that the pledge on the aforementioned coverage agreements is carried out in accordance with the model attached hereto as Exhibit II.

- The amounts that, in accordance with the Loan Agreement, should be deposited in the Income Account will be placed at the free disposal of the BORROWER to cover the operating Expenses of the BORROWER in accordance with the budget negotiated and revised annually with the LENDING FACILITIES, always providing that, after each drawdown is made, the balance remaining in the Income Account is sufficient to cover the payments of interest, fees and repayment of Tranches A y B of the Loan, and the endowment of the Reserve and, where appropriate, Grounding Accounts that should be undertaken by the BORROWER within the corresponding month.

[SEAL]

Novation Syndicated Loan Teekay

Likewise, and with regard to the Income Accounts, the parties state the following:

- The reference to "interest of Tranches A and B of the Loan" established in Clause TWENTY 2 of the Loan Agreement includes, in all cases and in addition to the interest payable to the LENDING FACILITIES at the Rates applicable to the Loan pursuant to the contents of Clauses NINE through THIRTEEN of the Loan Agreement, any settlements that, where appropriate, should be made by the BORROWER to its counterpart by virtue of the contents of the IRS Agreements.

Which, for the clarification purposes, the Parties agree to reflect in the Loan Agreement.

Consequently, Clause TWENTY of the Loan Agreement is amended, and will hereinafter have the following wording:

"TWENTY- TREASURY MANAGEMENT AND DISTRIBUTION

1. General provisions

The BORROWER undertakes to have the following accounts (the "Accounts") open by the date of execution of this agreement, in the Agent's Branch on Serrano 3, Madrid:

(i) Income account

(ii) Grounding Account

(iii) Reserve account

(iv) Insurance account

The balances of the aforementioned accounts will be secured as of the opening thereof in guarantee of the obligations of the BORROWER pursuant to the terms of Clause TWENTY SIX below. The Accounts should therefore remain open for the duration of this Agreement.

The Accounts will solely be placed at the BORROWER's disposal subject to the limits and in accordance with the requirements established in the remaining subsections of this Clause, although the restrictions thus established will not affect and may not be alleged by the BORROWER in order to avoid making any payments due

[SEAL]

Novation Syndicated Loan Teekay

7

in accordance with this Agreement on their respective maturity dates. At no time may the Accounts have a zero or negative balance.

The balance existing at any given time in the Accounts will be paid by the Agent at the interest rate and according to the conditions negotiated in each one of the agreements for the opening of the respective accounts.

Without prejudice to the contents of the remaining subsections of this Clause, the Agent may reject any drawdown requests from any of the Accounts under any of the following circumstances: (i) it a Cause of Early Maturity has occurred; (ii) if, as a result of the drawdown request, a Cause of Early Maturity occurs, (iii) if, in the well-founded opinion of the Agent and if the drawdown takes place as requested, the resulting balance following the drawdown will not be sufficient to cover the financial expenses deriving from this Agreement and the endowments to any other Accounts that, where appropriate, should be made pursuant to the contents of this Agreement, and (iv) when the Agent has not been able to quantify the financial expenses because it has not received information from the Borrower on the monthly settlement of the IRS Agreements.

2. Income account

All drawdowns made by the BORROWER from the Loan will be deposited in the Income Account.

The BORROWER will furthermore make sure that all quantities from the Time-Charter Agreement or other income that should not be earmarked toward another specific account of those indicated in this agreement are deposited in the Income Account.

The BORROWER may solely dispose of the Income Account during the Drawdown Period in order to make payments in accordance with the Construction Agreement and during the Repayment Period in order to attend to the following payments:

(i) Payment of interest and fees for Tranches A and B of the Loan.

(ii) Repayment, where appropriate, of Tranches A and B of the Loan.

(iii) Endowment of the Grounding Account in the amount agreed between the BORROWER and the LENDING FACILITIES (with the counsel of the Technical Advisor).

[SEAL]

Novation Syndicated Loan Teekay

8

(iv) Endowment of the Reserve Account.

(v) Operating expenses of the BORROWER pursuant to the budget negotiated and revised annually with the LENDING FACILITIES.

For the purposes of the contents of this subsection, the reference to "interest on Tranches A and B of the Loan" includes, in all cases and in addition to any interest payment to the LENDING FACILITIES at the Rates applicable to the Loan pursuant to the contents of Clauses NINE through THIRTEEN of this Agreement, any settlements that, where appropriate, should be made by the BORROWER to its counterpart by virtue of the contents of the IRS Agreements.

At the conclusion of the calendar year, as of the delivery of the Vessel (and therefore as of the start of the effective validity of the Time-Charter Agreement), any remaining balance that, where appropriate, is left in the Income Account may be freely disposed of by the BORROWER always providing that all the payments listed above have been made and that no cause for Early Maturity has taken place.

Any interest that the Income Account accrues will be deposited monthly in the Reserve Account until this is completely endowed.

3, Grounding Account

The Grounding Account will be endowed by completed biannual periods as of the delivery date of the Vessel - with quantities from the Fleet transferred from the Income Account and in accordance with the quantity agreed upon between the BORROWER and the LENDING FACILITIES (advised by the Technical Advisor).

The BORROWER may only dispose of the Grounding Account to attend to those expenses deriving from the entry of the Vessel into dry dock with the frequency contained in the Time-Charter Agreement or to attend to non-customary groundings in those cases in which this is necessary as a result of accidents, breakdowns or maintenance.

Once drawdowns have been made from the Grounding Account for the permitted purpose, it will be reendowed in the same terms contained above.

[SEAL]

Novation Syndicated Loan Teekay

4. Reserve Account

The Reserve Account will be endowed monthly with income from the Fleet (Capex and Opex) as well as with interest from the Income Account, in the manner and with the quantities established in Exhibit I. Nevertheless, the balance of the Reserve Account may be less that the one that corresponds to each one of the dates established in the aforementioned Exhibit I ("Reference Dates) providing that (i) the existence of agreements is accredited by the Borrower - to the satisfaction of the Agent - relative to the coverage of interest rates in force to ensure that the balance of the Reserve Account coincides with the contents of the aforementioned Exhibit for a subsequent Reference Date, and (ii) the pledge on the aforementioned coverage agreements is carried out in accordance with the model attached hereto as Exhibit II.

The Reserve Account may only be drawn to cover (i) contingencies in periodic payment obligations of principal and interest due in accordance with this agreement for both Tranches, and (ii) the balance that remains on the Date of Final Maturity, for repayment of Tranche B.

The principal of the Reserve Account will be reinvested monthly at an interest rate equivalent to the EURIBOR less 0.25%.

This reserve account will be revised monthly and restructured and recapitalized as necessary in order to comply with its Purpose.

5. Insurance Account

The BORROWER will ensure that all casualty amounts from insurance companies as a result of casualties that take place and which are covered by these are deposited in the Insurance Account.

When the quantities deposited in the Insurance Account come from payments corresponding to loss of profit insurance and any others covering loss of profit for any circumstance, the BORROWER may solely dispose of the Insurance Account to cover the payments indicated in subsection 2 above for the Income Account and in the same order established in such subsection.

When the quantities deposited in the Insurance Account correspond to the coverage of the damage that has taken place in the Vessel,(i) if the damages have caused

the Total Loss of the Vessel (and this is thus determined by the insurance company, in which case a copy of the corresponding report or appraisal should be sent to the Technical Adviser of the LENDING FACILITIES) all quantities received from the insurance companies will be applied toward the obligatory early repayment of the two Tranches of this financing, (ii) if the damages produced are reparable (and this is thus determined by the insurance company, in which case a copy of the corresponding report or appraisal should be sent to the Technical Advisor of the LENDING FACILITIES) the BORROWER may dispose of such quantities in order to proceed with the repair of the Vessel.

1.2 Derivatives

The Parties agreed to proceed to partially lift the BORROWER's prohibition from carrying out derivative transactions The BORROWER may therefore subscribe derivative transactions providing that these are carried out as a means for endowing the Reserve Account.

Consequently subsection seven (7) of Clause NINETEEN of the Loan Agreement is amended and will hereinafter have the following wording:

"7. THE BORROWER will not perform derivative transactions with the exception of:
(i) the IRS Agreements, (ii) where appropriate, the financial derivatives tied to the Loan under the aegis of Royal Decree 442/1994 referenced in point 6 above and (iii) those derivatives approved by the Agent for facilitating the endowment of the Reserve Account referred to in clause TWENTY of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Exhibit I. The BORROWER likewise undertakes that the coverage of the insurance contracted is sufficient to cover any costs that could be incurred as a result of doing away with the financial derivatives assigned to the transaction in advance".

TWO. SECURITIES

2.1 In that the parties have agreed upon the elimination of the Maintenance and Repairs Account envisaged in Clause TWENTY of the Loan Agreement, the pledge on the financial rights deriving from such Maintenance and Repairs Account is rendered null and void, established by virtue of the pledge policy executed by CAIXANOVA and the BORROWER on October 2, 2000, with the intervention of the Notary of Madrid Mr. Jose Enrique Cachon

[SEAL]

Novation Syndicated Loan Teekay

11

Blanco. The Parties nevertheless agree to ratify the remaining contents of such pledge policy, which remain fully in force with regard to the real pledge rights established on any financial rights that could derive from the Income Account, Grounding Account, Reserve Account and Insurance Account.

2.2 The BORROWER and the GUARANTOR hereby ratify each and every one of the securities furnished on October 2, 2000 as security for the Loan Agreement.

2.3 The GUARANTOR and the BORROWER undertake to perform any actions necessary and to execute as many public or private documents as may be necessary or advisable to reflect the agreements made in this Agreement, so that each and every one of the securities furnished to ensure the fulfillment of the Loan Agreement are maintained with all their effects, while adapted to the contents of this Agreement.

2.4 For the purpose of the power envisaged in subsection 7 of clause TWENTY TWO of the Loan Agreement, the Parties expressly note for the record that the pledge on the coverage agreements referred to in subsection 4 of clause TWENTY of the Loan Agreement (as amended by this Agreement) constitutes a security on the loan for all purposes, whereby the Agent will be fully empowered to execute, in representation of the rest of the lending facilities, any public or private documents that are necessary or advisable and to perform any actions necessary for the full effectiveness of such security.

THREE. DISPOSAL OF INCOME ACCOUNT

Upon the execution of this amendatory non-extinctive novation agreement, the BORROWER is empowered to dispose of any amounts, against the Income Account, that shall have been paid from January 1, 2004 to date as settlements made by the Borrower to its counterpart in fulfillment of the IRS Agreements.

FOUR. AMENDATORY AND NON-EXTINCTIVE NOVATION

Anything that has not been expressly amended continues to be fully valid in its terms with full force and effects, with the understanding that this

And of the other part,

Mr. [ ], of age, with professional residence on [ ] and National Identity Card number [ ], in the name and on behalf of NAVIERA TEEKAY GAS III, S.A. (hereinafter the "PLEDGOR"), a Spanish company, with registered offices on calle Musgo no. 5 28023 Madrid, with Tax Identification Number A-78553153.

He acts by virtue of [ ].

RECITALS

I. Whereas the LENDING FACILITIES executed a syndicated loan agreement with NAVIERA TEEKAY GAS III, S.A. on October 2, 2000, for a total amount of 150,710,000 (one hundred and fifty million seven hundred and ten thousand) Euros divided into two tranches, Tranche A in a total maximum amount of 120,568,000 (one hundred and twenty million five hundred and sixty eight thousand) Euros and Tranche B in a total maximum amount of 30,142,000 (thirty million one hundred and forty two thousand) Euros, for financing the construction of a vessel (Hull no. 319, the "VESSEL") for the transport of liquefied gas with an approximate capacity of 138,000 cubic meters, constructed by the shipbuilder IZAR CONSTRUCCIONES NAVALES, S.A.

The aforementioned loan agreement, together with all of its amendments, will hereinafter be referred to as the "LOAN AGREEMENT".

II. Whereas the Pledgor has executed the coverage agreement, a photocopy of which is attached as Exhibit I hereto (the "COVERAGE AGREEMENT").

The company executing the Coverage Agreement with the Pledgor will be referred to as the "COUNTERPART".

III. Whereas the LENDING FACILITIES and the Pledgor have agreed, as an essential element of the Loan Agreement, to the establishment of a pledge on the rights of the Pledgor deriving from the Coverage Agreement.

IV. Whereas in accordance with the contents of the Loan Agreement, the parties hereby agree to formalize this pledge which they put into effect pursuant to the following

CLAUSES

ONE. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PLEDGE

In guarantee of the complete and timely fulfillment of the obligations and responsibilities that derive or could derive from the Loan Agreement in the future, including the repayment of principal, payment of interest, even interest on arrears, fees, costs, expenses and any other accessory concepts that could exist, thereby covering all of the financial obligations deriving from the aforementioned agreement for which NAVIERA TEEKAY GAS III, S.A. is responsible, without prejudice to any other securities that the LENDING FACILITIES hold or could hold in the future, such Pledgor establishes in favor of the LENDING FACILITIES, which the AGENT accepts in the capacity in which it takes part, a real pledge right on all financial rights that derive or could derive in the future from the Coverage Agreement.

TWO. NOTICES

In view of the object of this pledge, dispossession is substituted by a notice that should be made by the Pledgor to the debtor of the secured right, in other words, the Counterpart. The parties instruct the Notary so that, by means of the Communication attached herewith as Exhibit II, the Counterpart may be notified of the establishment of the pledge and the content of this policy, likewise instructing it, unless indicated in writing by the AGENT to the contrary, to deposit all payments deriving from the Coverage Agreement into the bank account that the

[SEAL]

Novation Syndicated Loan Teekay

25

Pledgor has open in the AGENT under number [Reserve Account].

If the Pledgor does not issue the notices, the Pledgor hereby irrevocably empowers the AGENT to issue any appropriate notices.

THREE. LEX COMISORIA

This agreement, either on its own or together with any other, cannot infringe the contents of section 1859 of the Civil Code and, consequently, in no case does it allow the LENDING FACILITIES to receive more than is due them as a result of the exercise of the pledge, nor may they take possession of the secured objects without prejudice to the possibility of the execution of the pledge in its various forms, as established below.

FOUR. PROCEDURE

The LENDING FACILITIES may, throughout the life of the pledge, undertake any actions deemed necessary or advisable to protect the secured rights in their favor. For this purpose, and in those cases in which this agreement is not sufficient, the Pledgor undertakes to execute any power of attorney or other type of deed as may be necessary.

By real subrogation, the money delivered or paid as a result of the credits assigned and secured will likewise be earmarked toward the security established in this agreement.

The security established in this agreement likewise includes any natural or civil proceeds, including interest, resulting from the secured rights and will adhere to the contents of this agreement for such rights.

In their capacity as secured creditors, the LENDING FACILITIES will be empowered with regard to the assigned credits to exercise any actions for claim or defense that concern the Pledgor, as holder of the secured rights, and to undertake the procedure for collection of the secured credits, either directly or by means of third parties.

FIVE. EXECUTION OF THE PLEDGE

5.1 Requirements

The Pledge may be executed in the event of a breach of the obligations included in the Loan Agreement or, in general, in the event of grounds for early maturity, pursuant to the terms established therein.

5.2 Notarial or legal execution

For the exercise of the real secured action, and without prejudice to any universal equity liability of NAVIERA TEEKAY GAS III, S.A. that is in no way understood as limited by the establishment of the pledge, the LENDING FACILITIES may choose to file any proceeding legally available to them, whether ordinary judicial, declarative or executive, or the extrajudicial proceeding envisaged in section 1872 of the Civil Code, without the use of any process precluding the possibility of resorting to any of the others, insofar as the obligations secured by this pledge have not been covered in their entirety.

For the purposes of sections 572.2 and 573 of the Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil (Spanish Civil Procedure Code), all parties to the Loan Agreement have agreed that any quantity due at any time by NAVIERA TEEKAY GAS III, S.A. to any LENDING FACILITY will be as specified in the certificate issued by the AGENT in representation of any of the LENDING FACILITIES, all of which will reflect the books and entries on the loan account. Such quantity will be deemed as liquid, due and payable providing that such certificate is formalized by a Notary who will attest to the fact that the calculation of the quantity is consistent with the procedure agreed upon by the parties and that it coincides with the amount appearing in the loan account.

The presentation of a notarized copy of this agreement together with the certificate mentioned in the preceding paragraph and certificate from number 5 of section 517.2 of the Spanish Civil Procedure Code, indicating that the debt is liquid, due and payable, will suffice for the exercise of the action deriving from the pledge.

[SEAL]

Novation Syndicated Loan Teekay

27

The AGENT should in any case previously notify the Pledgor of the quantity due.

Should the LENDING FACILITIES proceed to execute the pledge on the secured credits by the procedure envisaged in section 1872 of the Civil Code, both parties agree as follows:

(i) The addresses for summons and notices are those indicated in the heading of this document.

(ii) The auction will not be subject to a base rate. Auctions may be awarded by assignment to a third party.

(iii) The Notary appointed by the AGENT will be the competent Commissioner, where appropriate, for the execution.

(iv) The Notary authorized to perform the sale is expressly empowered to take any measures necessary to guarantee the publicity and transparency of the auction. Among other measures, he may demand the deposit of securities by the bidders prior to the auction.

(v) The price obtained from the auction will be delivered directly by the Notary to the AGENT unless, where appropriate, any difference exists between the price obtained from the auction and the amount of the debt.

(vi) The execution will not be interrupted for any reason whatsoever, unless by order of an authority with powers for this, or by payment of the total amount due for the obligations secured by this document prior to the award of the auctioned credits.

The auctions will be advertised ten (10) days before they are to be held, and at least seven (7) days must transpire between each one and, if necessary, these may be advertised simultaneously. The Pledgor will be given the same advance notice. The AGENT or the LENDING FACILITIES or any one of these may take part in the auction. In the event of the award of the credits to any of these, the debt of NAVIERA TEEKAY GAS III, S.A. will be deemed as compensated up to the amount of the price for the award of the rights.

[SEAL]

Novation Syndicated Loan Teekay

28

If the first and second auctions are deserted, the LENDING FACILITIES may take ownership of the object of the pledge and, in this case, will issue a receipt for the entirety of the debt.

With the exception of the case set forth in the preceding paragraph, the LENDING FACILITIES will maintain all rights and actions against NAVIERA TEEKAY GAS III, S.A. for that part of the credit for the obligations deriving from the Loan Agreement that has not been satisfied or that has not been collected by means of the execution of this pledge. In this case a receipt will be given for the quantity that has actually been received.

5.3 Execution without an auction

Given the nature of the secured credit rights and after fulfilling the requirements for execution set forth in subsection 5.1 above, the LENDING FACILITIES may decide to execute the pledge either as set forth in point 5.2 above or by applying the monetary balance of such secured rights to the payment of the credit, without the need for a prior auction, following notice to the Pledgor, copy of which should be sent to the Counterpart.

Such notice will be sent by notary accompanied by the certificate to which paragraph two of clause 5.2 above makes reference. After sending the notice, it will be understood that the award of the full ownership of the secured rights has taken place automatically in favor of the LENDING FACILITIES and the LENDING FACILITIES may exercise such rights and receive the payment thereof from the Counterpart directly, indicating the account to which this should be made, which the Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes, with the ability of the AGENT to give any instructions deemed advisable to this respect.

The LENDING FACILITIES will issue a receipt for the payment of the quantity received, thereby reducing the debt of NAVIERA TEEKAY GAS III, S.A. by such quantity.

All quantities obtained as a result of the execution of the pledge will be applied, in the first place, to the obligations pending under Tranche A, and solely insofar as such obligations have been paid, to those deriving from Tranche B.

SIX. WAIVER OF THE PLEDGE

[SEAL]

Novation Syndicated Loan Teekay


The LENDING FACILITIES may at any time partially or totally waive the pledge established by means of this document, and in such case should notify their waiver to the Pledgor and execute the corresponding deed of waiver before a Notary Public to render all or a part of the pledge established herein without effect, whichever the case. In the public deed of waiver, the LENDING FACILITY will require the Notary Public to notify the Counterpart of the waiver.

SEVEN. DURATION AND CANCELLATION

The Pledge will remain valid through the total cancellation of the obligation it secures.

The LENDING FACILITIES undertake to formalize, within one (1) month of the notification made by the Pledgor, any public or private documents required by the Pledgor, declaring the pledge established herein as cancelled in its entirety, once the credit secured by it has been repaid in its entirety and the obligations and responsibilities secured by this agreement have been fulfilled in their entirety, providing that the formalization of such documents takes place at the expense of the Pledgor.

EIGHT. COMMUNICATIONS

For any notice or summons with regard to this agreement, the parties indicate the respective addresses noted in the heading of this document.

Any change in the addresses for notices should be made in writing to the other party with acknowledgement of receipt. Until such change has been notified, all notices sent to the address indicated in heading will be deemed as sent.

NINE. APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION

This Pledge will be governed in its entirety by Spanish Law.

The Parties, expressly waiving any other jurisdiction that may be available to them and without prejudice to legislation currently in force, irrevocably submit to the Courts and Tribunals of Madrid, the place of fulfillment of the obligations, for any questions that could arise with respect to the interpretation, validity or fulfillment of the pledge or its execution.

TEN. SUMS NOT COLLECTED BY MEANS OF THE EXECUTION OF THE SECURITIES ESTABLISHED IN THIS DOCUMENT

The LENDING FACILITIES will preserve all rights and actions available to them

ELEVEN. ASSIGNMENT

This Pledge is furnished in benefit of the AGENT and the LENDING FACILITIES, as well as any successors or assignees thereof permitted pursuant to the Loan Agreement, and the Pledgor hereby authorizes the assignment of this pledge agreement in favor of such institutions and the substitution of the AGENT pursuant to the terms envisaged in the Loan Agreement itself, in which case the references made in this public deed to the LENDING FACILITIES and the AGENT will be understood as made to their successors or assignees. The assignee may accredit its condition vis-a-vis the Pledgor merely by means of the exhibition of the public deed of assignment envisaged in the Loan Agreement.

TWELVE. EXPENSES

Any costs, expenses and taxes that could arise from the authorization and execution of this agreement, as well as any amendment thereof, will be the expense of the Pledgor and the exclusive responsibility thereof.

THIRTEEN. INDEPENDENCE

The clauses of this agreement are independent from one another so that if any of them are deemed as totally or partially null, the rest of the clauses will remain valid and enforceable in all of their terms.

And in witness whereof, the parties sign this document in triplicate originals and for one sole purpose with the intervention of the Notary in the place and on the date appearing in the heading.

The Parties, by means of their signature on this last sheet, show their full approval with the integral contents of this Agreement, for whose documentary evidence and with the consent of the signatories the Notary Public takes part, attesting to the identity and capacity of the Parties, to the legitimacy of their signatures and the entire contents of the Agreement and, after making the legal warnings, he stamps and signs all of the pages, giving all copies original status as well as full commercial and procedural effects.

SWORN TRANSLATION

PREAMBLE: It is mutually agreed for this agreement t be developed subject to the conditions included hereunder, which shall be included in Parts I, II and III. In the event of contradiction of the clauses of Part III, they shall prevail over the terms of Parts I and II to the extent of such contradiction.

SIGNATURE (OWNER) SIGNATURE (CHARTERER)

PART II

RECITALS

1. The Charterer has executed on July 31, 2000 a shipbuilding contract (the "Shipbuilding Contract") with Astilleros de Sestao S.R.L. (the "Shipbuilder") whereby the Shipbuilder undertook to build the Vessel, and the Charterer to pay the price thereof in the terms and conditions provided thereunder. The expected delivery date of the Vessel is August 15, 2003. In its turn the Charterer and the Owner have executed on the date hereof a sale and purchase agreement (the "Sale and Purchase Agreement") under which the Charterer sells the Vessel to the Owner for the same price and on the same payment dates as provided in the Shipbuilding Contract. The Charterer shall deliver the Vessel to the Owner on the same date and simultaneously to the receipt of the Vessel by the Charterer from the Shipbuilder (the "Delivery Date").

2. As set forth in Clause 26 hereunder, the Charterer, on each payment date of the Shipbuilding Contract, shall pay into a deposit account in its name ("Deposit II") the amounts set forth in the Framework Agreement. The Charterer has had or shall have recourse to external financing to make part of Deposit II ("Loan III"). The Banks granting Loan III ("Banks III") require or shall require a naval mortgage over the Vessel (the "Mortgage") in order to ensure repayment of Loan III. Said security shall be granted by the Owner on the Delivery Date.

3. On the other hand, the Charterer has executed a Loan with CAIXABANK FRANCE ("Bank I") subject to the subsidies provided under Royal Decree 442/1994 ("Loan I"), and has reached an agreement with a series of financial entities whereby the latter will deliver to the Charterer, by payment into Deposit II, the net current value of subsidy 442 on the delivery date of the Vessel.

Similarly, in order to meet the payments of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Owner has executed a Loan with CAIXABANK FRANCE ("Bank II") for an amount of 168,300,000 Euro ("Loan II"). The Charterer has accepted to pledge Deposit II in favour of Bank II as security for the repayment of Loan II ("Pledge II").

5. The Owner and the Charterer have also executed as of the date hereof or are going to execute a Framework Agreement (the "Framework Agreement"), agreeing the whole transaction set forth herein in part.

(The Shipbuilding Contract, Deposit II, Loan I, Loan II, Loan III, the Mortgage, Pledge II and the Framework Agreement shall be jointly called in this Agreement the Related Agreements).

PART III

ADDITIONAL CLAUSES

1 DELIVERY

The Vessel shall be delivered by the Owner to the Charterer for its use by the latter in accordance herewith, on the same date and at the same place as the Owner receives the


SWORN TRANSLATION

Vessel from the Charterer in accordance with the Shipbuilding Contract. The Charterer will allocate the Vessel to the freight of Natural Gas, SDG, S.A., in accordance with the terms of the Time-Charter Agreement dated July 31, 2000.

Delivery shall be deemed performed for all purposes relating hereto at the same time and place wherein, in accordance with the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Charterer delivers the Vessel to the Owner, without the Charterer being entitled to reject the Vessel at this delivery. The Owner and the Charterer shall sign a Deed of Delivery of the Vessel for the purposes hereof, which document shall confirm delivery performed at such a time.

As the Owner shall acquire the Vessel from the Charterer, who in its turn has executed the Shipbuilding Contract with the Shipbuilder, the Charterer acknowledges that it wishes to charter the Vessel under the terms and with the equipment and apparatus had by the Vessel at the time in which the Shipbuilder delivers it to the Owner. Consequently, the Charterer accepts that the Owner shall not be liable to the Charterer or to any third parties for the condition, suitability, operation, seaworthiness, value, design, equipment, quality, durability, merchantability or any other characteristics or attributes of vessels such as the Vessel.

Pursuant to the foregoing, the Owner hereby assigns to the Charterer, upon delivery of the Vessel and if it should the titleholder thereof, any action or right (including warranties) against the Shipbuilder relating to the Shipbuilding Contract.

In no event shall any controversies which may arise between the Charterer and the Shipbuilder or any other third party, relating to matters mentioned in the foregoing paragraphs, or any action, order or instruction of the Shipbuilder, of the Classification Society or of any other authority, rendering impossible or interrupting the use of the Vessel for any reason relating to the aforementioned matters affect the performance by the Charterer of all its obligations against the Owner in accordance herewith, which shall in no way be deemed suspended or reduced pursuant thereto.

2. DURATION

Although this Agreement will enter into force upon signature hereof, i.e., prior to the Delivery Date, the term of the charter of the Vessel shall be for a period (hereinafter, the "Term") which shall begin on the Delivery Date and shall end on December 31, 2006 (the "Expiry Date").

The Term shall be binding upon both parties, and so may not be reduced, nor may this Agreement be terminated early, save for the grounds expressly mentioned hereunder.

Although the Term is set for the benefit of both parties, the Charterer acknowledges that, taking into account the call and put options set forth hereunder and in the Related Agreements, and that the whole transaction has been agreed under the Fifteenth Additional Provision of the Law on Companies' Tax, an early termination hereof which does not respect the consequences provided for such case hereunder and in Related Agreements would cause the Owner substantial economic damage.

3. CHARTER HIRE

Charter hire, during the whole of the Term, shall be as set forth in Schedule 1 hereto, forming integral part hereof.

The Charterer's obligations to pay charter hire under this Agreement and the Framework Agreement shall be absolute, irrespective of any contingency, including, but not limited to, the following:

3.1. any set-off or counterclaim, indemnity, defence or other right held by the Charterer against the Owner (without prejudice to the possibility of exercising such rights so that it does not affect payment of the charter hire);


SWORN TRANSLATION

3.2. any unavailability of the, Vessel, for any reason, including but not limited to any lack or invalidity of title, seaworthiness, condition, design, operation, merchantability or fitness for use or purpose of the Vessel or the ineligibility of the Vessel for any particular use or trade, or for registration of documentation under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction, or lack of registration, or the absence or withdrawal of any consent required under the applicable law of any relevant jurisdiction for the ownership, chartering, use or operation of the Vessel, or any damage to the Vessel;

3.3 any lack of performance, or breach or delay in performance or compliance by any of the parties of the present Agreement (other than a breach by the Owner declared by a final court judgement or arbitration award), with or without breach on the part thereof, of any of the terms, conditions or other provisions hereunder or of any other Related Agreements;

3.4 any insolvency, suspension of payments, bankruptcy, reorganisation, arrangement, readjustment of. debt, dissolution, administration, liquidation or similar proceedings by or against the Owner or the Charterer or any change in the constitution of the Owner or the Charterer;

3.5 any invalidity or unenforceability (save for radical nullity by operation of law pursuant to lack of subject matter declared by a final judgement) or any defect in this Agreement or in any Related Agreements not attributable to the Owner.

3.6 any other cause which would or might but for this Clause have the effect of terminating or in any way affecting any obligation of the Charterer hereunder, it being the intention of the parties that the Clauses of this Agreement and the obligations of the Charterer to pay charter hire and make any payments under this Agreement shall survive any such contingencies, and that no moneys paid under this Agreement by the Charterer to the Owner shall in any event or circumstance be refundable to the Charterer by the Owner, without prejudice to the exercise of any remedies corresponding to the Charterer, as the case may be, against any other third party.

4. METHOD OF PAYMENT OF THE CHARTER HIRE

In accordance with the provisions of Schedule 1, charter hire (except the first) shall be on an annual basis and shall be payable in accordance with the timetable set forth in the aforementioned Schedule. Such timetable is based, in dates and amounts, on the hypothesis of delivery of the Vessel on August 15, 2003. In the event of delay, such timetable may be adjusted, without impairment of the Charterer's interests, for which the parties undertake to execute any necessary documents for such purposes.

Taking into account that the amounts deposited in Deposit II belong to the Charterer, and that the dates of payment of the charter hires coincide with the depreciation timetable and interest payment dates of Loan II, the parties hereunder agree that amounts owed by Bank II under Deposit II to collect Loan II shall be deemed paid by the Charterer to the Owner hereunder.

5. TRAFFIC LIMITATIONS

The Vessel shall be used for legitimate traffic, for transport of suitable and legal merchandise, within the geographical limits set forth in section 19.

The Charterer undertakes not to use the Vessel nor allow it to be used other than in accordance with the terms hereof and of the insurance policies (including any explicit or implied warranties contained therein), without the prior approval of the insurers for such use and without meeting the requirements set thereby, such as payment of extra premiums.


SWORN TRANSLATION

The Charterer also undertakes not to use the Vessel nor make it be used for any traffic or business which is forbidden by the laws of any country to which the Vessel may be directed or which may in any way render it capable of being sanctioned, or lead to its destruction, seizure or confiscation.

Irrespective or other considerations contained herein, it is agreed to specifically exclude from the cargos permitted to be loaded or carried hereunder, nuclear fuels or radioactive products or waste.

6. MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION

6.1 Throughout the Term the Vessel shall remain for all purposes in full possession and at the absolute availability of the Charterer for its goals and under its complete control for all purposes. The Charterer shall, at its expense, maintain the Vessel, its engines, boilers, fittings and spare parts, in a good state of repair, in efficient operating conditions and in accordance with good trade maintenance practice, and shall maintain the Vessel in accordance with the class set forth in box 10 and with the remaining certificates required to be in force from time to time.

The Charterer must take immediate action to perform necessary repairs in the appropriate time. Any repair, enhancement, structural changes or installation of new equipment required for the purposes of the foregoing paragraph shall be paid exclusively by the Charterer, whatever the price of such repairs or changes and without the high cost thereof, if this is the case, entitling it to early termination hereof.

In the event that the repairs, enhancements, structural changes or installations of new equipment are performed at the will of the Charterer, the Owner hereby authorises such events, provided that (i) the Vessel maintains its class as provided under box 10, (ii) the market value of the Vessel does not decrease, (iii) the cost of such repairs or modifications is borne solely by the Charterer and (iv) it obtains the authorisation of Banks II and III, which shall not be unreasonably refused, especially when they are necessary for the Charterer to comply with the provisions of the Time-Charter Agreement.

The Charterer shall provide and maintain any financial or any other kind of security required by any government, state, federal state, autonomous region, town council, port authority or any other authority for damages caused by pollution or for any other reason, so as to allow the Vessel, without penalty or surcharge, to legally enter, remain in or leave any port or location, territorial waters or contiguous waters of any nation, federal state, autonomous region or municipality in the performance hereof, without undue delay. This obligation shall apply whether or not such requirements have been legally imposed by the aforementioned governments or divisions or authorities. The Charterer shall take and maintain all necessary measures, either by providing a bond or in any other manner acceptable for the authority in question in order to meet such requirements, at its exclusive expense.

6.2 The Charterer and its representatives shall be responsible for the fitting out, navigation, operation, supply, fuel and repair of the Vessel, whenever necessary during the Term or at any other time during which the Charterer has possession of the Vessel, and shall pay all of the taxes, expenses and charges, regardless of their nature or type, either incidental or for the use and operation of the Vessel under this Agreement, including any state, autonomous region, municipal, Spanish or foreign tax, even if the taxpayer should for any reason be the Owner. The captain, officers and other crew of the Vessel shall be employees of the Charterer for all purposes. The Owner shall not be entitled to appoint any of the crew of the Vessel.

The Charterer shall comply with all regulations concerning officers and crew in force in the Vessel's country of registration and with the regulations in force in its own country.


SWORN TRANSLATION

6.3 Throughout the Term of the Agreement, the Vessel shall remain under and fly the flag indicated in box 5 and shall be registered and kept registered during the whole Term in the so-called Second Canary Islands Registry. However, the Charterer shall be entitled to paint the Vessel in its own colours, install and exhibit its logo on the stack and raise its own flag. Painting and repainting, installation and re-installation shall be borne by the Charterer, and the time used therefor shall count as charter time.

6.4 The Charterer may make use of all of the tools, items of equipment and devices on board the Vessel at the time of delivery, as long as the same or their equivalent are returned to the Owner in the same good condition as they were received, normal wear and tear excepted; the Charterer, from time to time during the Term, shall replace these items of equipment when they are so worn or torn that they are unusable. The Charterer must procure that all reparations or renovations of any part of a broken, worn or lost equipment are performed in such a way (both as regard quality of materials and workmanship) that the value of the Vessel is not reduced. The Charterer may incorporate at its cost to the Vessel the additional equipment considered suitable, to the extent that it improves the nautical or operational capacity of the Vessel, although it will be obliged to withdraw it at the end of the Term if the Owner should request it.

Any item of equipment that is not installed upon delivery of the Vessel but which is necessary for navigation, shall be acquired, installed, maintained, repaired and replaced for the account of and at the risk of the Charterer.

6.5 The Charterer shall place the Vessel in dry-dock and/or shall clean and paint it in accordance with requirements of the competent authority and/or for the Vessel's class requirements as set forth in box 10.

7. INSPECTION

The Owner and its agents shall have the right to inspect or survey the Vessel, or appoint a duly authorised surveyor to do so, on its behalf to ensure the condition of the Vessel and to ascertain that the Vessel is being properly maintained and repaired. Surveys may only take place in dry-docking where the Vessel is in such situation pursuant to a decision by the Charterer. All the time taken for the inspection shall count as charter time and shall form part of the Term. Inspections or surveys by the Owner shall take place reasonably and without interfering with the Vessel's normal operation. Any inspection which entails manipulations of the Vessel shall coincide with ordinary inspections thereof.

8. INVENTORY, FUEL AND SUPPLIES.

The Vessel shall be handed over by the Owner to the Charterer with the same equipment, installations, services and fungible supplies (such as lubricants, water, unopened provisions, paint, oil, lines and other similar fungible supplies) as those which the Vessel contained on delivery by the Charterer to the Owner pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

The Charterer must return the Vessel to the Owner, as the case may be, with the same goods delivered upon delivery of the Vessel hereunder, except for utilities provided by the Charterer. In the event that these utilities are delivered with the Vessel, the Owner shall pay the Charterer the amount thereof in accordance with their acquisition cost.

9. INSURANCE

9.1 The Charterer must execute or procure the execution of the relevant Marine and War Risk Insurance relating to the Vessel in accordance with standard market terms, under conditions satisfactory to the Owner, and in any event for an amount not lower than as set forth in section 27 in respect of hull and engine insurance.

9.2 The Charterer shall also execute or procure the execution with a P&I ("Protection and Indemnity") club or association, of cover for all risks usually covered under these kinds of policies, with the maximum limit accepted thereby from time to time by clubs or


SWORN TRANSLATION

associations of acknowledged reputation covering these kinds of risks. Submission of the "Certificate of Entry" into the club or association, and the "Letter of Undertaking" issued thereby shall constitute sufficient evidence to the Owner of the Vessel's insurance.

9.3 The Vessel may not navigate in waters for which it does not hold full coverage pursuant to the contracted insurance, unless motivated by the requirements of the Time-Charter Agreement, In which case the Charterer should pay the relevant extra premium. Anyway, maximum care shall be required, avoiding to the extent possible the Vessel's needing to approach embargo or war zones.

9.4 The interests of the Owner and the Banks III must be expressly reflected in the aforementioned insurance policies, by means of a clause designating the Owner as beneficiary thereof, together with the Banks III. In the "P&I" policies the Owner shall appear as insured.

9.5 IN addition to the provisions of the foregoing sections, the Charterer undertakes that all insurance policies in accordance with the foregoing sections shall meet, at least the following requirements:

9.5.1 be at least as usually contracted by a charterer with a business volume and routes same or similar to the Charterer's, which are owners or operators of vessels similar to the Vessel, not include franchises exceeding those set forth in said kind of policies of vessels of the same type and value and contain at least the same terms and conditions provided in such type of policies, and cover, at least, risks usually covered by such charterer in accordance with prudent practice within the sector and, in ant event, all risks of mandatory coverage in accordance with mandatory national or international legislation;

9.5.2 be contracted with insurance companies (or P&I clubs or associations, as the case may be) of acknowledged reputation and solvency;

9.5.3 cover at least, even by renewal thereof, the whole of the period between the Delivery Date of the Vessel and the date of performance of the put and/or call options mentioned in Clauses 18 and 19 below;

9.5.4 provide that the insurer (or P&I club or association, as the case may be) must give immediate notice in writing to the Owner and to Banks III of any failure to pay the premium and any other acts or omissions of the policyholder or the insured whereof the insurer is aware and which may invalidate, annul or render ineffective the insurance cover in whole or in part;

9.5.5 entitle, while this Agreement remains in force, the Owner and Banks III to pay the premium in the event of non-payment thereof by the holder, within a period not shorter than 30 days from such non-payment, and the insurance cover shall not be suspended at such time.

9.6 At least while this Agreement remains in force, the Charterer undertakes that, on the Delivery Date and thereafter, on an annual basis as from such Delivery Date, the Owner and Banks III shall be sent a letter from the insurer (or P&I club or association, as the case may be) certifying the amount of the insured sums from time to time under the insurance policies, and that such amounts and insurance policies are in accordance with the requirements in respect thereof set forth in the present Clause, and the date of expiry of the insurance policies and any variations in the terms thereof.

9.7 At least while this Agreement remains in force, the Charterer undertakes that, in the event of partial loss of the Vessel, the amount of the insurance indemnity received by the insured, as the case may be, is integrally allocated thereby to return the Vessel to its condition at the moment prior to the loss.

9.8 The Charterer, subject to the approval of the insurers and the Banks III, shall make all repairs covered by the insurance and shall take charge of the management of the


SWORN TRANSLATION

settlement of all costs relating to such repairs, and of collecting from the insurers the insured amounts, expenses and liabilities relating to repairs. The Charterer shall also be responsible for the performance of such repairs, and for paying the costs and expenses incurred in this regard which are not covered by insurance and/or do not exceed any eventual franchise(s) or deductible amounts provided in the insurance.

The whole time used to repair the Vessel shall count as charter time, and, consequently, the Charterer shall be bound to pay the charter hire for such period.

9.9 In the event of total loss of the Vessel, all insurance payments for such loss may be paid to the Banks III, who shall distribute the insured sums among themselves, the Owner and the Charterer, in accordance with their respective interests. The Charterer undertakes to inform the Owner of any event whereby the Vessel may be declared a total loss under the terms of the insurance clauses.

10. MORTGAGES

The Owner as from the date hereof, irrevocably undertakes to create, on the Delivery Date, the Mortgage in favour of the Banks III to guarantee the return of Loan III by the Charterer.

The Owner warrants that it has not agreed not shall agree to grant any other mortgage, lien or encumbrance other than the Mortgage over the Vessel.

11. SALVAGE.

Any salvage or towing performed by the Vessel shall be deemed performed for the exclusive benefit of the Charterer and the cost of repair of the damage caused to the Vessel on account of any such operations shall be exclusively borne by the Charterer.

12. RESCUE AND SALVAGE OF THE VESSEL.

In the event that the Vessel should sink or cause an obstruction to navigation, the Charterer shall be the sole party responsible for paying any amounts due to be paid on account of its sinking or obstruction or the consequences thereof. Consequently, the Charterer shall keep the Owner harmless from such costs and/or compensation payments.

Similarly, the Charterer shall fully assume any liabilities arising from the salvage of the Vessel.

13. REQUISITION.

In the event that the Vessel is requisitioned for hire by any governmental or other competent authority (the "Requisition for Hire"), irrespective of the date during the Term when Requisition for Hire may occur and irrespective of the length thereof, and whether or not this occurs for an indefinite or a limited period of time, and independently of whether it may or will remain in force for the remainder of the Term, the Agreement shall not be deemed thereby or thereupon to interrupted or cancelled, and the Charterer shall continue to pay charter hire in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement until termination hereof, in accordance with any provisions hereunder, and in no event shall there be a return of any amounts paid in advance; always taking into account that in the event of "Requisition for Hire", any compensation received or receivable by the Owner shall, if received by the Charterer, be retained by it and, if received by the Owner, shall be payable to the Charterer on the three business days following the date on which it is received by the Owner. As a complement to the foregoing, the Owner hereby irrevocably assigns to the Charterer the right to collect any amounts as payment in respect of any Requisition for Hire.

14. WAR.

Save as a result of requirements motivated by the Time-Charter Agreement (and provided that the relevant extra-premium is paid to maintain the level of insurance cover), the

19. PUT OPTION

19.1 The Charterer hereby grants the Owner a put option (the "Put Option I") over the Vessel, exclusively in the event that the former should not exercise the Call Option I to which it is entitled in accordance with the foregoing Clause.

On the Expiry Date, the Owner and the Charterer shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Charterer to the Owner and which are usual in this type of transactions.

20.1. the relevant insurance Company should declare the Vessel to be a total loss or a constructive total loss, or

21.1. If the events occurred are as listed under sections 20.1 to 20.4 above:


SWORN TRANSLATION

21.1.1 The Charterer hereby, taking into account (i) that the Owner has accepted to constitute a Mortgage (which, among other things, implies that the main beneficiary of the insurance in the event of total loss will be the Banks III up to the total amount owed by the Charterer), (ii) that the loss of title to the Vessel in the events of sections 20.3 and 20.4 of Clause 20 above would be based on debts incurred by the Charterer or as a result of maritime traffic or trade performed thereby, (iii) that in the event of loss of title over the Vessel according to the event of section 20.2 of Clause 20 above the amounts applied to repayment of Loan III will inure to the benefit of the Charterer as debtor of such Loan and (iv) the impairment to the net assets of the Owner entailed by the loss of the Vessel, in order to re-establish the balance between reciprocal obligations between the parties hereunder and under the Related Agreements, irrevocably undertakes not to claim the repayment of any amounts paid as charter hire up to the date thereof, which amounts have constitute firm payments without a right of repayment.

In all such cases, the Charterer will pay the Owner the remaining amounts due under the Agreement until termination hereof (including the price of the options). As such amounts shall be the same as those owed by the Owner to the Bank II, the amounts owed by Bank II under Deposit II shall be deemed received by the Owner in performance of such obligation.

21.1.2 If the event causing early termination were as provided in section 20.1 (total loss of the Vessel), amounts received from the insurance company shall be allocated in the following order:
(i) to repayment of Loan III, up to the amount of the outstanding live balance thereof; (ii) to repayment of AIE's equity for the principal effectively contributed by the partners, plus an interest calculated at EURIBOR plus 2%; (iii) to the Charterer, to pay, as the case may be, and if it should be bound to do so, damages under the Time-Charter agreement executed with Repsol;
(iv) to the AIE, to compensate the loss of tax financial return from the Tax Lease structure and (v) the excess, if any, to the Charterer.

(iv) to the AIE, to compensate the loss of tax financial return from the Tax Lease structure and (v) the excess, if any, to the Charterer.

21.1.4 If the event causing early termination were as provided in section 20.4, the amounts obtained from disposal of the Vessel shall be allocated in the following order: (i) to payment of any charges motivating the enforcement and disposal; (ii) to repayment of Loan III, up to the amount of the outstanding live balance thereof; (iii) to repayment of AIE's equity for the principal effectively contributed by the partners, plus an interest calculated at EURIBOR plus 2%; (iv) to AIE, to compensate the loss of tax financial return from the Tax Lease structure and (v) the excess, if any, to the Charterer.

21.1.5 If the event causing early termination were as provided in section 20.4, the amounts obtained from the mortgage foreclosure shall be allocated, in the following order: (i) to repayment of Loan III, up to the amount of the outstanding live balance thereof; (ii) to repayment of AIE's equity for the


SWORN TRANSLATION

principal effectively contributed by the partners, plus an interest calculated at EURIBOR plus 2%; (iii) to AIE, to compensate the loss of tax financial return from the Tax Lease structure and the excess, if any, to the Charterer.

21.2 In the event of early termination pursuant to the early termination of the Shipbuilding Contract and the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the provisions of the Sale and Purchase Agreement shall govern the relations between the Charterer and the Owner for the repayment of the amounts paid by the Owner on account of the purchase price of the Vessel.

22. VOLUNTARY EARLY TERMINATION

In the event that:

22.1. the Charterer breaches its obligation to pay amounts into the Deposits in accordance with the provisions of the following Clauses or to pledge said amounts in favour of Bank II; or

22.2 the Charterer breaches its maintenance or insurance obligations over the Vessel; or

22.3 the Charterer should submit an application to be declared subject to suspension of payments or bankruptcy or, if, in this last case, the application comes from a third party and is admitted pursuant to a court resolution, or if the Charterer should acknowledge its inability to pay all or a substantial part of its debts upon maturity thereof or if it should initiate a renegotiation of all or a substantial part of its payment responsibilities, or

22.4 if the Charterer should allow protests of acceptance or should in any way be in breach of any payment obligations vis-a-vis third parties in general for an amount exceeding 75,000 Euro or their equivalent, or

22.5 if for any reason the Charterer should cease to conduct its business, resolve on its dissolution, liquidation or the closure of the majority of its commercial establishments, or

22.6 the Charterer should breach any other material obligations hereunder, or

22.7 the Vessel should be abandoned by the Charterer, or

22.8 for reasons attributable to the Charterer the Owner (or its partners), in view of the fact that the former has not obtained or is not expected to obtain the expected economic or financial-accounting result for the present transactions (without limitation, such circumstance shall be deemed to occur in the event that the Owner cannot be registered, in respect of the Vessel, as a naval entity in the Registry for vessels and seafaring companies in the territory of the Autonomous Region of the Canary Islands, created by Additional Provision 15, Law 27/1992, or the Vessel cannot be registered with such registry, in both cases, for causes attributable to the Charterer), or

22.9 if any of the Related Agreements were terminated early or should be declared null and void (save if for causes attributable to the Owner)

the owner shall be entitled, but not obliged, to terminate early this Agreement forthwith.

23. CONSEQUENCES OF A VOLUNTARY EARLY TERMINATION

Upon the occurrence of an event of automatic early termination provided under Clause 22 above, the following shall apply:

23.1 If any of the foregoing events should occur prior to delivery of the Vessel, early cancellation of the Sale and Purchase Agreement shall take place, with the consequences determined therein.


SWORN TRANSLATION

23.2 If any of the foregoing events should occur after the delivery of the Vessel, as well as there being no right to repayment of amounts already paid by the Charterer, the following shall apply:

23.2.1 Put Option

In the event of any of the foregoing events, the Charterer hereby grants the Owner a put option (the "Put Option II") over the Vessel, so that, if voluntarily exercised by the Owner, the sale of the Vessel in favour of the Charterer shall be deemed made on the date on which the Owner issues a notice of exercise of the Put Option.

The Owner may exercise the Put Option II within 30 days following the date of early termination hereof.

The selling price (the "Selling Price II") which the Charterer shall be necessarily obliged to pay shall be equal to the amount deposited at the time in the Deposit II, and shall be paid with the funds existing at such time, by the relevant debit thereof.

The Owner and the Charterer shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Charterer to the Owner and which are usual in this type of transactions.

The Vessel shall be disposed of under the conditions provided in Clause 18.5 above.

As well as the foregoing, if the event causing early termination were as provided in sections 22.1 or 22.2 above, and the Owner should exercise the Put Option II for such reason, the price payable by the Charterer for the Vessel shall be the Selling Price II increased by the amounts advanced, as the case may be, by the Owner for the aforementioned items, motivating the breach.

If the event causing early termination were as provided in sections 22.1 to 22.7 and 22.8 and 22.9 above (if in these two last cases it were for causes directly attributable to the Charterer), the Charterer shall compensate the Owner for all expenses and damages caused by its breach, including the loss of tax financial return from the Tax Lease structure, Subsidy 442 and Canary Islands Registry, and the costs of undoing hedging positions (derivatives) linked to such financial structure. If the result of settling such hedging transactions were positive, said amount shall be applied to the Charterer's aforementioned compensation obligation.

26. EXONERATION OF LIABILITY AND COMPENSATION

The Charterer may not incur in nor allow any kind of withholding or encumbrance for itself or through its agent, which could take priority over the title and interest of the Owner in and to the Vessel.

The Charterer also agrees to place a plaque in a visible position on the Vessel, and to keep it there throughout the duration of the Agreement, with the following text:

"This Vessel is the property of POSEIDON GAS, AIE, is chartered to NAVIERA F. TAPIAS GAS III, S.A., and, in accordance with the terms of a charter agreement, neither the Charterer nor the captain has any right, power or authority to effect or incur or to allow any kind of encumbrance to be imposed upon the Vessel".

The Charterer shall compensate and shall keep the Owner harmless from any encumbrances of any nature whatsoever as may arise with regard to the Vessel during the Term or during any other period during which the Vessel is under the control of the Charterer, and from any claims against the Owner derived from the operation of the Vessel, or from any negligence on the part of the Charterer in relation to the Vessel or its operation. If the Vessel were to be arrested as a result of claims or encumbrances derived


SWORN TRANSLATION

from its operation by the Charterer, the Charterer shall take all reasonable steps, at its expense, in order to ensure that, within a reasonable length of time, the Vessel will be released and shall also deposit, also at its expense, a bond which will ensure the release of the Vessel.

The foregoing representations and warranties include any claim whatsoever from a third party for reasons of civil liability relating to the Vessel or its cargo, claims from the captain or the crew, claims relating to gross or particular average, salvage of or by the Vessel, rescue of the Vessel or any other claim directly or indirectly related to navigation or maritime traffic.

25. RETURN

The Charterer shall at the end of the Term return the Vessel to the Owner, in the event of failure to exercise the options provided hereunder, at a safe port without ice, as set forth in box 16. The Charterer shall give a preliminary notice, at least 30 days in advance, and a final notice, at least 14 days in advance of the expected date, of the port of return of the Vessel. Any change as from such moment to the location of the Vessel must be immediately communicated to the Owner.

Where the Vessel is on a voyage the duration whereof exceeds the Term, the Charterer may use the Vessel to complete the journey, if a reasonable calculation of the duration of the voyage allows the Vessel to be returned at a date similar to the date of termination of the agreement.

The Vessel shall be returned to the Owner in the same or as good structure, state, condition and class as that in which she was delivered, fair wear and tear excepted, which does not affect its class.

The Vessel, at the time of its return, shall have an up-to-date revision cycle and class certificates with validity lasting at least the number of months set forth in box 12.

26. DEPOSIT II

The Charterer hereby undertakes to make payments into Deposit II in the amounts provided in the Framework Agreement. The payments mentioned above shall be paid by the Charterer into such Deposit on the same date as it is to make payments to the Shipbuilder in accordance with the Shipbuilding Contract.

Said amounts, although to be pledged in favour of Bank II to answer for the payment of Loan II by Pledge II, are deposited in their turn to secure the payments mentioned hereunder.

27. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE

This Agreement may not be assigned to third parties. The Vessel may be bareboat subleased by the Charterer with the prior consent of Banks II and of the Owner, provided that (i) the sub-lessees accept all obligations relating to navigation, insurance, maritime trade, registration and flagship of the Vessel provided hereunder; (ii) the aforementioned sub-lease in no way releases the Charterer from any of its obligations and commitments hereunder, including those mentioned in section (i) above.

28. REGISTRATION

The Vessel shall sail under the Spanish flag and shall be registered, together with this Agreement, with the Registry for vessels and seafaring companies in the territory of the Autonomous Region of the Canary Islands - Rebeca-, created by Additional Provision 15, Law 27/1992 and with the Commercial Registry.

The Vessel, during the Term, may not be registered with any registry other than Rebeca nor, consequently, sail under a flag other than the Spanish flag.


SWORN TRANSLATION

29. NAME OF THE VESSEL.

The name of the Vessel shall be as set forth in Box 5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Charterer may modify such name. Such change must be notified forthwith to the Owner, Banks II and Banks III.

30. LIMITED RECOURSE.

30.1 The Charterer, with express waiver of any right to which it may be entitled, including application of article 1911 of the Civil Code, hereby declares that the Owner shall only be liable against the Charterer for the Vessel, for any claim which the latter may have against the former relating to the Vessel or to this Agreement, excluding any other present or future goods or rights included, currently or in the future, in the assets of the Owner or its partners. Consequently, the Charterer may only enforce against the Vessel pursuant to any action its rights against the Owner.

30.2 Similarly, the Owner, with express waiver of any right to which it may be entitled, including application of article 1911 of the Civil Code, hereby declares that the Charterer shall only be liable against the Owner for any claim which the latter may have against the former for payment of the charter hire and/or the sale and purchase price of the Vessel and/or amounts payable as a direct result of the early termination hereof, with Deposit II, excluding any other present or future goods or rights included, currently or in the future, in the assets of the Charterer or its partners. Consequently, the Owner may only enforce against Deposit II pursuant to any action its rights in such cases.

Any other payment not expressly mentioned in the foregoing paragraph is excepted from the limited recourse agreement provided in this section 30.2, including, without limitation, any claim made by the Owner to the Charterer as a result of (a) any third party claim against the Owner derived from any act, fact or circumstance or event relating hereto, to the Vessel or to its navigation or maritime trade (Clause 24 above); (b) payment of the Vessel's insurance by the Owner, in the event that the Charterer should have failed to pay such insurance; (c) compensation obligations provided hereunder and (d) any kind of expense or tax relating hereto or to the performance hereof, in accordance with Clause 32 below, which must be borne by the Charterer.

This Clause shall remain in force although the agreement should be early terminated, so that, although it should be terminated prior to the Delivery Date, the Owner shall repay Loan II in the form and manner provided hereunder.

31. NET PAYMENTS

All amounts which the Charterer is obliged to pay under this Agreement shall be paid without any deductions or withholding tax, and the Charterer shall bear any taxes and expenses which may apply to such payments, currently or in the future, but excluding in any event, Companies' Tax (or any tax replacing it) which applies to the returns obtained by the Owner. If for any reason the Charterer should be irredeemably obliged to make a deduction or withholding, it shall do so, but shall pay the Owner such complementary amounts as may be necessary, in order that the amounts paid by the Charterer shall be the same as if such deductions or withholdings did not exist.

32. EXPENSES AND TAXES

The Charterer shall undertake the obligation to pay any expenses, taxes, duties, encumbrances, professional fees, Notaries Public and registries (administrative and commercial) and other current or future items which may arise or accrue as a result of the execution of this Agreement or the performance thereof, and any provisions hereunder, including put and call options, assignments or rights etc. Similarly, the Charterer shall bear any taxes which currently or in the future may apply to the property or possession of


SWORN TRANSLATION

vessels such as the Vessel, even if such taxes are payable by the Owner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, taxes on capital gains resulting from the sale of the Vessel as a result of the exercise of the call or put options mentioned above shall be exempted from the foregoing, as shall the Companies' Tax applicable to returns obtained by the Owner.

33. ENTRY INTO FORCE

This Agreement shall enter into force simultaneously to the execution and entry into force of the Related Agreements.

34. APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION

This Agreement shall be governed by English law.

The parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of the High Court of England and Wales for the resolution of any disputes, litigations or controversies as may arise herefrom.

And, in witness whereof, both parties hereby sign the present agreement in three counterparts, to one sole effect, at the place and date mentioned above.

      the Agent to its account at such office or bank as it may notify to the

      notification of such change.

      at the time for the settlement of transactions in euros.

10.3  DISTRIBUTION

(a)   Where a sum is to be paid to the Agent under the Finance Documents for
      another Party, the Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that Party
      until it has established that it has actually received that sum. The Agent
      may, however, assume that the sum has been paid to it in accordance with
      the Finance Documents and, in reliance on that assumption, make available
      to that Party a corresponding amount. If the sum has not been made
      available but the Agent has paid a corresponding amount to another Party,
      that Party shall forthwith on demand refund the corresponding amount to
      the Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment
      to the date of receipt, calculated at a rate determined by the Agent to
      reflect its cost of funds, provided that no such interest shall be payable
      in relation to such refund to the extent that such sum to be refunded
      falls due to be refunded due to the Agent's wilful misconduct or reckless
      disregard with knowledge of the probable consequences.

      as Spanish Security Agent shall be paid to the Agent for application by

      be paid by the Borrower under this Agreement in a currency other than
      euro, the Agent may convert the currency received into euro at the Agent's
      Spot Rate of Exchange and the Indebtedness shall not be deemed reduced by
      the payment until and except to the extent that the proceeds of conversion
      are applied towards the Secured Liabilities.

      All payments made by the Borrower under the Finance Documents shall be
      made without set-off or counterclaim.

10.6  NON-BUSINESS DAYS

(a)   If a payment under the Finance Documents is due on a day which is not a
      Business Day, the due date for that payment shall instead be the next

      Business Day (if there is not).

      the Finance Documents interest is payable on the principal at the rate
      payable on the original due date.

            and expenses of the Agent and/or any of the Banks under the Finance
            Documents;

      (ii)  SECONDLY, in or towards payment pro rata of any principal or accrued
            interest due but unpaid under this Agreement or any loss or
            liability incurred by the Swap Banks as a consequence of a default
            under or termination by the Borrower of, or any replacement or
            amendment in relation to, the Swap Agreements;

      (iii) THIRDLY, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due but
            unpaid under the Finance Documents; and

      (iv)  FOURTHLY, the balance, if any, to the Borrower.

(b)   In the event a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent shall, if
      so directed by all the Banks and the Swap Banks, vary the order set out in
      sub-paragraphs (a)(ii) to (iv) above.

(c)   If the Agent receives any payment from the Borrower under the Swap
      Agreement or a payment from the Spanish Security Agent (in its capacity as

      under the Swap Agreements in the following order:

            of the Agent and or the Swap Banks under the Swap Agreements;

(a)   All payments by the Borrower under the Finance Documents shall be made
      without any deduction and free and clear of and without any deduction for
      or on account of any taxes, except to the extent that the Borrower is
      required by law to make payment subject to any taxes. If any tax or
      amounts in respect of tax must be deducted, or any other deductions must
      be made, from any amounts payable or paid by the Borrower, or paid or
      payable by the Agent to a Bank, under the Finance Documents, the Borrower
      shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure (having
      regard to any such deduction on any such additional amount) that the
      relevant Party receives a net amount equal to the full amount which it
      would have received had payment not been made subject to tax or any other
      deduction.


33

(b)   Without prejudice to paragraph (a) above, in relation to an exemption from
      or application of a rate lower than that of general application in
      relation to any Non-Residents Income Tax (Impuesto sobre la Renta de No
      Residentes) pursuant to any double taxation treaty, or pursuant to any
      other cause relating to residence status, any Bank which is not
      incorporated in Spain shall supply the Agent (which shall deliver a copy
      thereof to the Borrower), with a certificate of residence issued by the
      pertinent fiscal administration, evidencing that such Bank is resident for
      tax purposes in a country which is a member of the European Union or, as
      the case may be, is resident for tax purposes in the relevant state which
      has signed and ratified a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation with
      Spain, within the meaning of such treaty, prior to the last day of the
      first Interest Period. As such certificates are, at the date hereof, only
      valid for a period of one year, each such Bank will be required to so
      supply a further such certificate upon expiry of the previous certificate
      in relation to any further payment of interest.

11.2  TAX RECEIPTS

      All taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld by the Borrower from
      any amounts paid or payable under the Finance Documents shall be paid by
      the Borrower when due and the Borrower shall, within 15 days of the
      payment being made or, if later, forthwith following receipt of the same,
      deliver to the Agent for the relevant Bank evidence satisfactory to that
      Bank (including all relevant tax receipts) that the payment has been duly
      remitted to the appropriate authority.

      (ii)  the Agent, the relevant Bank or the other relevant Party obtains a
            refund of tax or obtains a credit against or relief for any tax paid
            or otherwise payable by it, in respect of or calculated with
            reference to the deduction, withholding or payment of tax giving
            rise to the Tax Related Payment (a "TAX CREDIT"),

      then, if and to the extent that the Agent, the relevant Bank or the other
      relevant Party (as appropriate), in its reasonable opinion, can do so
      without any adverse consequences for it (other than the mere payment of
      monies under this provision), it shall reimburse the Borrower such
      proportion of that Tax Credit as is attributable to the deduction,
      withholding or payment as will leave the Agent, the relevant Bank or, as
      the case may be, the other relevant Party (after that reimbursement) in no
      better or worse position in respect of its relevant tax liabilities than
      it would have been in if no Tax Related Payment had been required.

(b)   The Agent, the relevant Bank and the other relevant Party shall have
      absolute discretion as to whether to claim any Tax Credit as well as all
      other reliefs and credits available to it and, if it does claim, the
      extent, order and manner in which it does so. The Agent, the relevant Bank
      and the other relevant Party shall not be obliged to disclose any

12.   MARKET DISRUPTION

12.1  ABSENCE OF QUOTATIONS

      If EURIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a
      Reference Bank does not supply an offered rate by 11.30 a.m. on a Rate
      Fixing Day, the applicable EURIBOR shall, subject to Clause 12.2 (Market
      disruption), be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining
      Reference Bank(s).

12.2  MARKET DISRUPTION

      If, in relation to any proposed Tranche:

      (a)   EURIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but
            no, or only one, Reference Bank supplies a rate by 11.30 a.m. on the
            Rate Fixing Day or EURIBOR is to be determined by reference to the
            rate supplied to the Agent by the British Bankers' Association and
            no such rate is supplied by 11.30 a.m. on the Rate Fixing Day or the
            Agent otherwise determines that adequate and fair means do not exist
            for ascertaining EURIBOR; or

      (b)   the Agent receives notification from Banks whose participations in a
            Tranche exceed 30 per cent. of that Tranche that, in their opinion:

            (i)   matching deposits may not be available to them in the London
                  interbank market in the ordinary course of business to fund
                  their participations in that Tranche for the relevant Interest
                  Period; or

            (ii)  the cost to them of obtaining matching deposits in the London
                  interbank market would be in excess of EURIBOR for the
                  relevant Interest Period,

      the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks of the fact and
      that this Clause 12 is in operation.

12.3  SUSPENSION OF DRAWDOWNS

      If a notification under Clause 12.2 (Market disruption) applies to a
      Tranche which has not been advanced, that Tranche shall not be advanced.
      However, within five Business Days of receipt of the notification, the
      Borrower and the Agent shall enter into negotiations for a period of not
      more than 30 days with a view to agreeing an alternative basis for
      determining the rate of interest and/or funding applicable to that and (to
      the extent required) any future Tranche. Any alternative basis agreed
      shall be, with the prior consent of all the Banks, binding on all the
      Parties.

12.4  ALTERNATIVE BASIS

      If a notification under Clause 12.2 (Market disruption) applies to a
      Tranche which is outstanding, then, for the purpose of calculating the
      rate of interest on that Tranche pursuant to Clause 9.1 (Interest rate):

      (a)   within five Business Days of receipt of the notification, the
            Borrower and the Agent shall enter into negotiations for a period of
            not more than 30 days with a view to agreeing an alternative basis
            for determining the rate of interest and/or funding applicable to
            that Tranche and/or any other Tranches;


35

(b) any alternative basis agreed under paragraph (a) above, or certified under paragraph (c) below, shall be, with the prior consent of all the Banks, binding on all the Parties and treated as part of this Agreement;

(c) if no alternative basis is agreed, each Bank shall (through the Agent) certify on or before the last day of the Interest Period to which the notification relates an alternative basis for maintaining its participation in that Tranche; and

(d) any such alternative basis may include an alternative method of

            fixing the interest rate, alternative Interest Periods or
            alternative currencies but it must reflect the cost to the Bank of
            funding its participation in the Tranche from whatever sources it
            may select plus the Margin plus any applicable Mandatory Cost.

13.   INCREASED COSTS

13.1  INCREASED COSTS

(a)   Subject to Clause 13.2 (Exceptions), the Borrower shall forthwith on

      (i)   the introduction of, or any change in, or any change in the
            interpretation or application of, any law or regulation; or

      capital adequacy requirements or any other form of banking or monetary
      control).

(b)   In this Agreement "INCREASED COST" means:

      (i)   an additional cost incurred by a Finance Party or any of its
            Affiliates as a result of it having entered into, or performing,
            maintaining or funding its obligations under, any Finance Document;
            or

      (ii)  that portion of an additional cost incurred by a Finance Party or
            any of its Affiliates in making, funding or maintaining all or any
            advances comprised in a class of advances formed by or including
            that Finance Party's participations in the Loan made or to be made
            under this Agreement as is attributable to that Finance Party
            making, funding or maintaining those participations; or

      (iii) a reduction in any amount payable to a Finance Party or any of its
            Affiliates or in the effective return to a Finance Party or any of
            its Affiliates under this Agreement or (to the extent that it is
            attributable to this Agreement) on its capital; or

      (iv)  the amount of any payment made by a Finance Party or any of its
            Affiliates, or the amount of any interest or other return foregone
            by a Finance Party or any of its Affiliates, calculated by reference
            to any amount received or receivable by that Finance Party or any of
            its Affiliates from any other Party under this Agreement.

14. ILLEGALITY

If by a change in law it becomes unlawful in any jurisdiction for a Bank to give effect to any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement or to fund or maintain its participation in any Tranche, then:

(b) (i) the Borrower shall within 30 days of receipt of such notice

                  prepay that Bank's participations in all Tranches together
                  with all other amounts payable by it to that Bank under this

            (ii)  that Bank's Commitment shall be cancelled.

            costs) to increase the amount of any payment to a Bank; or

      then, without in any way limiting, reducing or otherwise qualifying the
      Borrower's obligations under those clauses but subject to Clause 15.2
      (Exceptions), the relevant Bank shall for a reasonable period of time (not
      exceeding 30 days) endeavour to take such reasonable steps as may be open
      to it to mitigate the effects of those circumstances and enter into
      discussions with the Borrower with a view to determining what other
      mitigating action might be taken by the Bank, including a potential change
      in the Bank's lending office or transfer of its Commitment to another bank
      or financial institution.

15.2  EXCEPTIONS

      Nothing in Clause 15.1 (Mitigation) shall oblige a Bank to incur any costs
      or expenses or to take any action or refrain from taking any action where,

      Bank, to take or refrain from taking that action (as the case may be)

      might have against the Agent or the Spanish Security Agent or in respect

      knowledge of the probable consequences or wilful misconduct) by that
      officer, employee or agent in relation to any Finance Document.

20.10 RELIANCE

Each of the Agent and the Spanish Security Agent may:

(a) rely on any notice or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed by, or with the authority of, the proper person;

(b) rely on any statement made by a director or employee of any person regarding any matters which may reasonably be assumed to be within his knowledge or within his power to verify; and

(c) engage, pay for and rely on legal or other professional advisers selected by it (including those in the Agent's or, as the case may be, the Spanish Security Agent's employment and those representing a Party other than the Agent).

20.11 CREDIT APPROVAL AND APPRAISAL

Without affecting the responsibility of the Borrower for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each Finance Party confirms that it:


70

(a) has made its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Agent, the Spanish Security Agent or the Arranger in connection with any Finance Document; and

(b) will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its related entities while any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

(c) Except where this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, neither the Agent nor the Spanish Security Agent is obliged to review or check the accuracy or completeness of any document it forwards to another Party.

(d) Except as provided above, neither the Agent nor the Spanish Security Agent has any duty:

(i) either initially or on a continuing basis to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the financial condition or affairs of the Borrower or any related entity of the Borrower whether coming into its possession or that of any of its related entities before, on or after the date of this Agreement; or

(ii) unless specifically requested to do so by a Bank in accordance with a Finance Document, to request any certificates or other documents from the Borrower.

20.13 THE AGENT, THE SPANISH SECURITY AGENT AND THE ARRANGER INDIVIDUALLY

(a) If it is also a Bank, each of the Agent, the Spanish Security Agent and the Arranger has the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise those rights and powers as though it were not the Agent, the Spanish Security Agent or the Arranger.

(b) Each of the Agent, the Spanish Security Agent and Arranger may:

(i) carry on any business with the Borrower or its related entities;


71

(ii) act as agent or trustee for, or in relation to any financing involving, the Borrower or its related entities; and

(iii) retain any profits or remuneration in connection with its activities under this Agreement or in relation to any of the foregoing.

(c) In acting as the Agent or, as the case may be, the Spanish Security Agent, the agency division of the Agent or, as the case may be, the Spanish Security Agent will be treated as a separate entity from its other divisions and departments. Any information acquired by the Agent or, as the case may be, the Spanish Security Agent which, in its opinion, is acquired by it otherwise than in its capacity as the Agent or, as the case may be, the Spanish Security Agent may be treated as confidential by the Agent or, as the case may be, the Spanish Security Agent and will not be deemed to be information possessed by the Agent in its capacity as such.

(d) The Borrower irrevocably authorises the Agent and the Spanish Security Agent to disclose to the other Finance Parties any information which, in its opinion, is received by it in its capacity as the Agent or, as the case may be, the Spanish Security Agent.

(e) Each of the Agent and the Spanish Agent may deduct from any amount received by it for the Banks pro rata any unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Agent or, as the case may be, the Spanish Security Agent incurred by it in connection with the relevant Finance Documents.

20.14 INDEMNITIES

(a) Without limiting the liability of the Borrower under the Finance Documents, each Finance Party shall forthwith on demand indemnify each of the Agent and the Spanish Security Agent for that Finance Party's proportion of any liability or loss incurred by the Agent or, as the case may be, the Spanish Security Agent in any way relating to or arising out of its acting as the Agent or, as the case may be, the Spanish Security Agent, except to the extent that the liability or loss arises directly from:

(i) the Agent's or, as the case may be, the Spanish Security Agent's wilful misconduct or reckless disregard with knowledge of the probable consequences; or

(ii) the Borrower's failure to make any payment to the Agent or the Spanish Security Agent in respect of the management time of the Agent or the Spanish Security Agent pursuant to Clause 20.19 (Extraordinary management time and resources).

(b) A Bank's proportion of the liability or loss set out in paragraph (a) above is the proportion of its participation in the relevant Tranche (if any) on the date of the demand. If, however, the relevant Tranche is not outstanding on the date of demand, then the proportion will be the proportion which its Commitment bears to the Total Commitments at the date of demand or, if the Total Commitments have been cancelled, bore to the Total Commitments immediately before being cancelled.

(c) The Borrower shall forthwith on demand reimburse each Bank for any payment made by it under paragraph (a) above.

20.15 COMPLIANCE

(a) Each of Agent and the Spanish Security Agent may refrain from doing anything which might, in its opinion, constitute a breach of any law or regulation binding or applicable to it or be


72

otherwise actionable at the suit of any person, and may do anything which, in its opinion, is necessary or desirable to comply with any law or regulation of any jurisdiction.

(b) Without limiting paragraph (a) above, neither the Agent nor the Spanish Security Agent need disclose any information relating to the Borrower or any of its related entities if the disclosure might, in the opinion of the Agent, or, as the case may be, the Spanish Security Agent constitute a breach of any law or regulation or any duty of secrecy or confidentiality or be otherwise actionable at the suit of any person.

20.16 RESIGNATION OF AGENT AND SPANISH SECURITY AGENT

(a) Notwithstanding its irrevocable appointment, and subject to sub-paragraph
(g) below either or both of the Agent and the Spanish Security Agent may resign by giving notice to the Finance Parties and the Borrower, in which case the Agent may forthwith appoint one of its Affiliates as successor Agent with the approval of the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or, failing that, the Majority Banks may appoint a successor Agent. The Spanish Security Agent may appoint one of the other Banks as successor Spanish Security Agent with the approval of the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or, failing that, the Majority Banks may appoint one of the Banks as a successor Spanish Security Agent.

(b) If the appointment of a successor Agent or, as the case may be, the Spanish Security Agent is to be made by the Majority Banks but they have not, within 30 days after notice of resignation, appointed a successor Agent which accepts the appointment, the retiring Agent or, as the case may be, the retiring Spanish Security Agent may appoint a successor Agent or, as the case may be, a successor Spanish Security Agent (in the case of the latter being one of the Banks) with the approval of the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).

(c) The resignation of the retiring Agent or, as the case may be, the Spanish Security Agent and the appointment of any successor Agent or, as the case may be, any successor Spanish Security Agent will both become effective only upon the successor Agent or, as the case may be, the successor Spanish Security Agent notifying all the Parties that it accepts the appointment. On giving the notification, the successor Agent or, as the case may be, the successor Spanish Security Agent will succeed to the position of the retiring Agent or, as the case may be, the successor Spanish Security Agent and the terms "AGENT" and "SPANISH SECURITY AGENT" respectively will mean the successor Agent or, as the case may be, the successor Spanish Security Agent.

(d) The retiring Agent or, as the case may be, the retiring Spanish Security Agent shall, at its own cost, make available to the successor Agent or, as the case may be, the successor Spanish Security Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent or, as the case may be, the Spanish Security Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as the Agent or, as the case may be, the successor Spanish Security Agent under this Agreement.

(e) Upon its resignation becoming effective, this Clause 20 (The Agent and the Finance Parties) shall continue to benefit the retiring Agent or, as the case may be, the retiring Spanish Security Agent in respect of any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with the Finance Documents while it was the Agent or, as the case may be, the Spanish Security Agent, and, subject to paragraph (d) above, it shall have no further obligation under any Finance Document other than any previously incurred and continuing liabilities not


73

transferred to the successor Agent or, as the case may be, the successor Spanish Security Agent.

(f) The Majority Banks may, by notice to the Agent or, as the case may be, the Spanish Security Agent, require it to resign in accordance with paragraph
(a) above. In this event the Agent or, as the case may be, the Spanish Security Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (a) above but it shall not be entitled to appoint one of its Affiliates as successor Agent or, as the case may be, the successor Spanish Security Agent.

(g) (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Clause 20.16, the Spanish Security Agent may not resign, nor may the Majority Banks require it to resign, unless the successor Spanish Security Agent is for the time being a Bank.

(ii) If and for so long as any Bank is also the Spanish Security Agent, it shall not be entitled to assign, transfer or novate the whole of its Commitment pursuant to Clause 27.2 (Transfers by Banks) unless at the same time it resigns as Spanish Security Agent and a successor Spanish Security Agent is appointed pursuant to this Clause 20.16.

(iii) In the event any Bank becomes a successor Spanish Security Agent in accordance with the terms of this Clause 20.16, each of the Banks shall give to such successor Spanish Security Agent power of attorney in the form of Schedule 9 (Form of Bank's Power of Attorney).

20.17 BANKS

(a) Each of the Agent and the Spanish Security Agent may treat each Bank as a Bank, entitled to payments under this Agreement and as acting through its Facility Office(s) until it has received notice from the Bank to the contrary by not less than five Business Days prior to the relevant payment.

(b) Unless a Bank notifies the Agent to the contrary, each Bank confirms to the Agent, on the date that it becomes a Bank, that it is beneficially entitled to its share in each Tranche and its accrued interest and is either:

(i) not resident for tax purposes in the United Kingdom; or

(ii) a bank for the purposes of section 349 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988.

Additionally, the same may be placed on deposit in the name of or under control of the Agent for and on behalf of the Banks at such bank or institution (including the Agent) and upon such terms as the Agent may think fit.

20.19 EXTRAORDINARY MANAGEMENT TIME AND RESOURCES

The Borrower shall forthwith on demand pay the Agent and the Spanish Security Agent for the cost of utilising its management time or other resources in connection with:

      that other Swap Bank, regardless of the place of payment or currency of
      either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the
      Swap Bank setting-off may convert either obligation at a market rate of
      exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set off.
      If either obligation is unliquidated or unascertained, the Swap Bank

      the amount of that obligation.

      The commitment fee is payable quarterly in arrear (but in any event the
      last payment shall be made on the Delivery Date) during the Commitment
      Period, for so long as any Commitments remain undrawn and have not been
      cancelled. Accrued commitment fee shall also be payable to the Agent for

(i) the relevant Finance Party receives a full indemnity from the

            Borrower in terms satisfactory to such Finance Party as to the costs
            and expenses of such co-operation; and

      (ii)  the relevant Finance Party's name may not be used in any action

            the relevant Finance Party shall have full discretion to withhold).

25.1  ACCOUNTS

      Accounts maintained by a Finance Party in connection with this Agreement
      are prima facie evidence of the matters to which they relate.

25.2  CERTIFICATES AND DETERMINATIONS

      Any certification or determination by a Finance Party of a rate or amount
      under the Finance Documents is, in the absence of manifest error,
      conclusive evidence of the matters to which it relates.

25.3  CALCULATIONS

      Interest (including any applicable Mandatory Cost) and the fee payable
      under Clause 21.3 (Commitment Fee) accrue from day to day and are
      calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of
      360 days.

26.   AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS

26.1  PROCEDURE

(a)   Subject to Clause 26.2 (Exceptions) and to sub-paragraph (b) below, any
      term of the Finance Documents may be amended or waived with the agreement
      of the Borrower, the Majority Banks and (to the extent that the amendment
      or waiver might reasonably be expected to prejudice the Agent) the Agent.
      The Agent may effect, on behalf of the Finance Parties, an amendment or
      waiver to which the Majority Banks have agreed.

(b)   The Agent shall promptly notify the other Parties of any amendment or
      waiver effected under paragraph (a) above, and any such amendment or
      waiver shall be binding on all the Parties.

26.2  EXCEPTIONS

An amendment or waiver which relates to:

(a) the Final Maturity Date;

(b) the definition of "MAJORITY BANKS" in Clause 1.1;

(c) an extension of the date for, or a decrease in an amount or a change in the currency of, any payment under the Finance Documents;

(d) any reduction in the Margin (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement);

(e) an increase in a Bank's Commitment;

(f) a term of a Finance Document which expressly requires the consent of each Bank;


81

(g) Clause 2.2 (Nature of a Finance Party's rights and obligations), Clause 30 (Pro Rata Sharing) or this Clause 26 (Amendments and Waivers); or

(h) any release of any Security Interest in favour of the Finance Parties generally unless permitted by this Agreement,

may not be effected without the consent of the Borrower and each Bank.

26.3 WAIVERS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE

The rights of each Finance Party under the Finance Documents:

(a) may be exercised as often as necessary;

(b) are cumulative and not exclusive of its rights under the general law; and

(c) may be waived only in writing and specifically.

      Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any such right is not a waiver of
      that right.

27.   CHANGES TO THE PARTIES

27.1  TRANSFERS BY BORROWER

      The Borrower may not assign, transfer, novate or dispose of any of, or any
      interest in, its rights and/or obligations under the Finance Documents.

27.2  TRANSFERS BY BANKS

(a)   A Bank (the "EXISTING BANK") may, subject to paragraph (b) below at any
      time assign, transfer or novate any of its Commitment, in whole or in
      part, and/or any rights and/or any obligations under this Agreement to
      another bank or financial institution (the "NEW BANK"). The prior consent
      of the Borrower is required for any such assignment, transfer or novation,
      unless:

      (i)   the New Bank is another Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank; or

      (ii)  a Default has occurred, is continuing and has not been waived.

      However, the prior consent of the Borrower must not be unreasonably
      withheld or delayed and will be deemed to have been given if, within 14
      days of receipt by the Borrower of an application for consent, it has not
      been expressly refused.

(b)   A transfer of obligations will be effective only if:

      (i)   the obligations are novated in accordance with Clause 27.3
            (Procedure for novations);

      (ii)  the New Bank confirms to the Agent and the Borrower that it
            undertakes to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as a Bank in
            form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and the Borrower. On
            the transfer becoming effective in this manner the Existing Bank
            shall be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement to the
            extent that they are transferred to the New Bank;


82

(iii) the New Bank accedes to the Mortgage, the Swap Bank Mortgage and the Pledge of Quota Shares by execution of a deed of assignment of interest in the form of Schedule 10 (Form of Deed of Assignment of Interest); and

(iv) the New Bank grants a power of attorney in favour of the Spanish Security Agent in the form of Schedule 9 (Form of Bank's Power of Attorney) in all substantial respects.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement restricts the ability of a Bank to sub-contract an obligation if that Bank remains liable under this Agreement for that obligation.

(d) On each occasion an Existing Bank assigns, transfers or novates any of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement, the New Bank shall, on the date the assignment, transfer and/or novation takes effect, pay to the Agent for its own account a fee of L1,000.

(e) An Existing Bank is not responsible to a New Bank for:

(i) the execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or sufficiency of any Finance Document or any other document;

(ii) the collectability of amounts payable under any Finance Document; or

(iii) the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document.

(f) Each New Bank confirms to the Existing Bank and the other Finance Parties that it:

(i) has made its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Bank in connection with any Finance Document; and

(ii) will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its related entities while any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

(g) Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Bank to:

(i) accept a re-transfer from a New Bank of any of the rights and/or obligations assigned, transferred or novated under this clause; or

(ii) support any losses incurred by the New Bank by reason of the non-performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.

(h) Any reference in this Agreement to a Bank includes a New Bank, but excludes a Bank if no amount is or may be owed to or by that Bank under this Agreement and its Commitment has been cancelled or reduced to nil.


83

27.3  PROCEDURE FOR NOVATIONS

(a)   A novation is effected if:

      (i)   the Existing Bank and the New Bank deliver to the Agent a duly
            completed certificate, substantially in the form of Schedule 5 (a
            "NOVATION CERTIFICATE"); and

      (ii)  the Agent executes it;

      (iii) the New Bank, the Existing Bank and the Spanish Security Agent
            execute the Spanish public documents required to formalise the
            Novation Certificate and the Spanish Security Documents, and the New
            Bank issues a notarised power of attorney substantially in the form
            of Schedule 9 (Form of Bank's Power of Attorney); and

      (iv)  in the event that the Mortgage and the Swap Bank Mortgages have
            already been executed and registered at the Special Register of
            Ships in the Canary Islands, the New Bank executes, notarises and
            apostilles a deed of assignment in favour of the Spanish Security
            Agent substantially in the form of Schedule 10 (Form of Deed of
            Assignment of Interest).

(b)   Each Party (other than the Existing Bank and the New Bank) irrevocably
      authorises the Agent to execute any duly completed Novation Certificate on
      its behalf.

(c)   To the extent that they are expressed to be the subject of the novation in
      the Novation Certificate:

      (i)   the Existing Bank and the other Parties (the "EXISTING PARTIES")
            will be released from their obligations to each other (the
            "DISCHARGED OBLIGATIONS");

      (ii)  the New Bank and the existing Parties will assume obligations
            towards each other which differ from the discharged obligations only
            insofar as they are owed to or assumed by the New Bank instead of
            the Existing Bank;

      (iii) the rights of the Existing Bank against the existing Parties and
            vice versa (the "DISCHARGED RIGHTS") will be cancelled; and

      (iv)  the New Bank and the existing Parties will acquire rights against
            each other which differ from the discharged rights only insofar as
            they are exercisable by or against the New Bank instead of the
            Existing Bank,

      all on the date of execution of the Novation Certificate by the Agent or,
      if later, the date specified in the Novation Certificate.

27.4  REFERENCE BANKS

      If a Reference Bank (or, if a Reference Bank is not a Bank, the Bank of
      which it is an Affiliate) ceases to be one of the Banks, the Agent shall
      (in consultation with the Borrower) appoint another Bank or an Affiliate
      of a Bank to replace that Reference Bank.

27.5  REGISTER

      The Agent shall keep a register of all the Parties and shall supply any
      other Party (at that Party's expense) with a copy of the register on
      request.


84

27.6  FACILITY OFFICE

      Any Bank may from time to time change its Facility Office for the purposes
      of this Agreement. In the event of any such change the relevant Bank shall
      promptly notify the Agent and on receipt by the Agent from the relevant
      Bank of notice of such change, the Agent shall promptly notify the
      Borrower.

27.7  ACCESSION OF SWAP BANKS

      No person providing interest rate or hedging facilities to the Borrower
      will be entitled to share in any of the security constituted by the
      Security Documents in respect of any of the liabilities or debt arising
      under such swap or hedging facilities or benefit from the undertakings or
      the parties to this Agreement unless and until the Agent has agreed in
      writing to the identity of such person (such agreement not to be
      unreasonably withheld where such person is a Senior Creditor (or its
      Affiliate)) and to the swap or hedging facilities being provided by such
      person and such person has agreed to become a Swap Bank by executing and
      delivering to the Agent a duly completed Deed of Accession. Upon delivery
      of such a Deed of Accession to the Agent such person will acquire all its
      rights and assume all its obligations as a Swap Bank under this Agreement
      in relation to such swap or hedging facilities.

27.8  REPLACEMENT SWAP AGREEMENTS

      The Borrower may, at any time, request that the Swap Agreement be
      substituted for a Replacement Swap Agreement. The Agent and the Swap Banks
      may, in their absolute discretion, approve the termination of the Swap
      Agreement and the entry by the Borrower into a Replacement Swap Agreement
      where they are satisfied that:

(a)   the Replacement Swap Agreements are on substantially the same terms as the
      existing Swap Agreements and the Agent has received in writing confirming
      from each of the Swap Banks consenting to the termination of the existing
      Swap Agreements and the entry into Replacement Swap Agreements;

(b)   the termination of the existing Swap Agreements and the entry into the
      Replacement Swap Agreements will not affect the existing security
      arrangements in respect of the Swap Agreements, or, to the extent that
      such security arrangements will be affected, the Agent is satisfied that
      replacement security will be effected on or prior to the termination of
      the existing Swap Agreements, including but not limited to an assignment
      by the Borrower in favour of the Agent of the Replacement Swap Agreement
      and either a deed of amendment of the Swap Mortgage or the execution of a
      new mortgage in connection with the Replacement Swap Agreement;

(c)   the Borrower has paid or undertaken to pay all costs and expenses in
      connection with the termination of the existing Swap Agreement and the
      execution of the Replacement Swap Agreements, including any documents,
      side letters and notices in connection therewith and including but not
      limited to any Break Costs;

(d)   the Agent has received a legal opinion from Allen & Overy, Madrid, Spanish
      legal advisers to the Finance Parties, in all respects satisfactory to the
      Agent; and

(e)   there are no adverse tax, credit or other relevant implications which it
      is possible, in the opinion of the Agent, may arise as a result of the
      Replacement Swap Agreements.


85

28. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

(a) Subject to paragraph (b) below, a Bank may disclose to one of its Affiliates or any person with whom it is proposing to enter, or has entered into, any kind of transfer, participation or other agreement in relation to this Agreement:

(i) a copy of any Finance Document; and

(ii) any information which that Bank has acquired under or in connection with any Finance Document.

(b) The rights of disclosure set out in paragraph (a) above are subject to:

(i) the relevant information only being disclosed for the purposes of the relevant transfer, participation or other agreement;

(ii) the relevant Bank considering it necessary to disclose the relevant information in order for the recipient of the information properly to determine (on a fully informed basis) whether or not it wishes to participate in the relevant transfer, participation or other agreement; and

(iii) the recipient of the relevant information undertaking to the Borrower or to the Agent or relevant Bank (but for the benefit of the Borrower) to be bound by an obligation equivalent to this Clause 28(b).

29. SET-OFF

      A Finance Party may upon notice to the Borrower, following the occurrence
      of an Event of Default and whilst it continues, set off any matured
      obligation owed by the Borrower under the Finance Documents (to the extent
      beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any obligation (whether
      or not matured) owed by that Finance Party to the Borrower, regardless of
      the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If
      the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert
      either obligation at the Agent's Spot Rate of Exchange on the relevant
      date for the purpose of the set-off. If either obligation is unliquidated
      or unascertained, the Finance Party may set off in an amount estimated by
      it in good faith to be the amount of that obligation.

30.   PRO RATA SHARING

30.1  REDISTRIBUTION

      If any amount owing by the Borrower under this Agreement to a Finance
      Party (the "RECOVERING FINANCE PARTY") is discharged by payment, set-off
      or any other manner other than through the Agent in accordance with Clause
      10 (Payments) (a "RECOVERY"), then:

      (a)   the recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days,
            notify details of the recovery to the Agent;

      (b)   the Agent shall determine whether the recovery is in excess of the
            amount which the recovering Finance Party would have received had
            the recovery been received by the Agent and distributed in
            accordance with Clause 10 (Payments);


86

(c) subject to Clause 30.3 (Exceptions), the recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the "REDISTRIBUTION") equal to the excess;

(d) the Agent shall treat the redistribution as if it were a payment by the Borrower under Clause 10 (Payments) and shall pay the redistribution to the Finance Parties (other than the recovering Finance Party) in accordance with Clause 10.7 (Payments); and

(e) after payment of the full redistribution, the recovering Finance

            Party will be subrogated to the portion of the claims paid under
            paragraph (d) above, and the Borrower will owe the recovering
            Finance Party a debt which is equal to the redistribution,
            immediately payable and of the type originally discharged.

30.2  REVERSAL OF REDISTRIBUTION

      If under Clause 30.1 (Redistribution):

      (a)   a recovering Finance Party must subsequently return a recovery, or
            an amount measured by reference to a recovery, to the Borrower; and

      (b)   the recovering Finance Party has paid a redistribution in relation
            to that recovery,

      each Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the
      recovering Finance Party through the Agent, reimburse the recovering
      Finance Party all or the appropriate portion of the redistribution paid to
      that Finance Party together with interest on the amount to be returned to
      the recovering Finance Party for the period whilst it held the
      redistribution. Thereupon the subrogation in Clause 30.1(e)
      (Redistribution) will operate in reverse to the extent of the
      reimbursement.

30.3  EXCEPTIONS

      (a)   A recovering Finance Party need not pay a redistribution to the
            extent that it would not, after the payment, have a valid claim
            against the Borrower in the amount of the redistribution pursuant to
            Clause 30.1(e) (Redistribution).

      (b)   A recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other
            Finance Party any amount which the recovering Finance Party has
            received or recovered as a result of taking legal proceedings, if
            the other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those
            legal proceedings but did not do so or did not take separate legal
            proceedings.

31.   SEVERABILITY

      If a provision of any Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or
      unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that shall not affect:

      (a)   the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any
            other provision of the Finance Documents; or

      (b)   the legality, validity or enforceability in other jurisdictions of
            that or any other provision of the Finance Documents.


87

35.   JURISDICTION

35.1  SUBMISSION

      For the benefit of each Finance Party, the Borrower agrees that the courts
      of England have jurisdiction to settle any disputes in connection with any
      Finance Document and accordingly submits to the jurisdiction of the
      English courts.

35.2  SERVICE OF PROCESS

      Without prejudice to any other mode of service, the Borrower:

      (a)   irrevocably appoints WFW Legal Services Limited at its offices, for
            the time being at 15 Appold Street, London EC2A 2HB as its agent for
            service of process relating to any proceedings before the English
            courts in connection with any Finance Document;

      (b)   agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the Borrower of the
            process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned;

      (c)   consents to the service of process relating to any such proceedings
            by prepaid posting of a copy of the process to its address for the
            time being applying under Clause 33.2 (Addresses for notices); and

      (d)   agrees that if the appointment of any person mentioned in paragraph

            appoint a further person in England to accept service of process on
            its behalf in England, and failing such appointment within 15 days
            the Agent is entitled to appoint such a person by notice to the
            Borrower.

35.3  FORUM CONVENIENCE AND ENFORCEMENT ABROAD

      The Borrower:

      (a)   waives objection to the English courts on grounds of inconvenient
            forum or otherwise as regards proceedings in connection with a
            Finance Document; and

      (b)   agrees that a judgment or order of an English court in connection
            with a Finance Document is conclusive and binding on it and may be
            enforced against it in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

35.4  NON-EXCLUSIVITY

      Nothing in this Clause 35 limits the right of a Finance Party to bring

proceedings against the Borrower in connection with any Finance Document:

(a) in any other court of competent jurisdiction; or

(b) concurrently in more than one jurisdiction.


90

35.5  WAIVER OF IMMUNITY

      The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally:

      (a)   agrees that its exercise of its rights and the performance of its
            obligations under the Finance Documents will constitute private and
            commercial acts done and performed for private and commercial
            purposes and, if any Finance Party brings legal proceedings against
            it or its assets in relation to the Finance Documents, no immunity
            from those proceedings shall be claimed by or on behalf of itself or
            for its assets;

      (b)   waives any such right of immunity which it or its assets now has or
            may acquire after the date of this Agreement; and

      (c)   consents generally to the giving of any relief or the issue of any
            process under those proceedings.

35.6  EXECUTIVE PROCEEDINGS AND SET-OFF

(a)   (i)   This Agreement, as well as any amendments hereto, will be formalised
            in a Spanish notarial document ("escritura publica" or "poliza"), so
            that it may have the status of a notarial document of loan for all
            purposes contemplated in Article 517, number 4 and 5 of the new
            Civil Procedural Law (Law 1/2000 of 7th January) ("Ley de
            Enjuiciamiento Civil").

      (ii)  The sum payable by the Borrower shall be the total aggregate sum
            resulting from the balance shown in the account(s) maintained by the
            Agent (or the relevant Bank, as the case may be) in accordance with
            this Agreement. For the purposes of Articles 571 et seq. of the new
            Civil Procedural Law (Law 1/2000 of 7th January) ("Ley de
            Enjuiciamiento Civil"), the parties expressly agree that such
            balance shall be considered as an acknowledgement of debt and may be
            claimed pursuant to the same provisions of such law.

      (iii) For the purpose of the provisions of Art. 571 et seq. of the new
            Civil Procedural Law (Law 1/2000 of 7th January) ("Ley de
            Enjuiciamiento Civil"), it is expressly agreed by the contracting
            parties that the determination of the debt to be claimed through the
            executive proceedings shall be effected by the Agent (or the
            relevant Bank, as the case may be) by means of the appropriate
            certificate evidencing the balance shown in the account or accounts
            of the Borrower. By virtue of the foregoing, to exercise executive
            action it will be sufficient to present an original notarial first
            copy of this Agreement and the notarial document ("acta notarial")
            that incorporates the certificate issued by the Agent (or the
            relevant Bank, as the case may be) evidencing that the determination

SCHEDULE 6

CALCULATION OF THE MANDATORY COST

(a) For the purpose of paragraph (a) of the definition of Mandatory Cost, the Mandatory Cost for a Tranche for its Interest Period is the rate determined by the Agent to be equal to the arithmetic mean (rounded upward, if necessary, to four decimal places) of the respective rates notified by each of the Reference Banks to the Agent and calculated in accordance with the following formula:

F x 0.01
-------- % per annum

300

where on the day of application of the formula F is the charge payable by the relevant Bank to the Financial Services Authority ("FSA") under the Fees Rules (but for this purpose, ignoring any minimum fee under the Fees Rules) and expressed in pounds per (pound)1 million of the tariff base of the Reference Bank.

(b) For the purposes of this Schedule 6:

(i) "TARIFF BASE" has the meaning given to it in the Fees Rules;

(ii) "FEES RULES" means the then current rules on periodic fees in the Supervision manual in the FSA Handbook.

(c) If a Reference Bank does not supply a rate to the Agent, the applicable Mandatory Cost will be determined on the basis of the rate(s) supplied by the remaining Reference Banks.

(d) (i) The formula is applied on the first day of the Interest Period of the Tranche.

(ii) Each rate calculated in accordance with the formula is, if necessary, rounded upward to four decimal places.

(e) If the Agent determines that a change in circumstances has rendered, or will render, the formula inappropriate, the Agent (after consultation with the Banks) shall notify the Company of the manner in which the Mandatory Cost will subsequently be calculated. The manner of calculation so notified by the Agent shall, in the absence of manifest error, be binding on all the Parties.

124

CLAUSES

FIRST .- MORTGAGE.- Without prejudice to its unlimited liability pursuant to the provisions of Article 1911 of the Spanish Civil Code and pursuant to the provisions set out in the last paragraph of Art. 1857 of the Civil Code, the Mortgagor secures all its present and future obligations and liabilities under the Facility Agreement described in Recital I and the other Finance Documents defined in the Facility Agreement (hereinafter the "SECURED LIABILITIES").

To such effect, the Mortgagor CREATES A MORTGAGE in favour of all the Banks as joint and several creditors under the Facility Agreement as stated in Recital I above in a proportionate manner to their respective commitments under the Facility Agreement, which accept it, over the vessel described in Clause 3 (hereinafter, the "VESSEL") as security for the payment of the Secured Liabilities for an amount of principal euro 185,000,000, for any interest, accrued at the Interest Rate during the term of 24 months up to a maximum amount pursuant to Article 10 of the Ship Mortgage Law of euro 18,500,000, for any default interest, accrued at the Default Rate (as defined in the Facility Agreement) during the term of 24 months for a maximum pursuant to Article 10 of the Ship Mortgage Law of euro 37,000,000, for the repayment of the legal costs and expenses from the eventual judicial or extrajudicial enforcement of the mortgage up to a maximum of euro 9,250,000 and any costs in relation to the effectiveness of the guarantee and conservation of the Vessel such as, inter alia, the payment of taxes over the Vessel and the costs of ownership, maintenance, fees and insurance premiums for the Vessel up to a maximum of euro 9,250,000.

For the purpose of the provisions of Articles 571 and seq. of Law 1/2000 of 7th January, 2000, it is expressly agreed by the parties that the determination of the debt able to be claimed in executive proceedings shall be carried out by a certificate issued by the Spanish Security Agent as agent for the Banks which evidences the balance of the account or accounts of the Mortgagor. By virtue of the foregoing, the presentation of this deed duly notarised and of the notarial record which incorporates the certificate, as issued by the Spanish Security Agent as agent for the Banks, of the balance shown in the account of the Mortgagor, evidencing that the determination of the debt has been carried out in the manner stipulated in this deed by the parties and that the balance coincides with the one which appears in the account or accounts of the Mortgagor, shall be sufficient in order to exercise the executive proceedings.

It is hereby expressly agreed that the balance of each such account shall be considered as an acknowledgement of debt due by the Mortgagor to the Banks, and may be claimed pursuant to Clause Fifth.

Consequently, it is hereby expressly agreed that the Secured Liabilities amount to euro 259,000,000.

The mortgage granted in this deed shall remain in full force and effect until the Banks are satisfied that any and all Secured Liabilities have been unconditionally and irrevocably paid and discharged in full.

SECOND.- The mortgage will extend to all chattels, rents, issues, profits, indemnities, time charters and other ancillary elements expressed in article 7 of the Ship Mortgage Law, including any improvements or new equipment that may be incorporated.

The extension of the mortgage to the aforesaid goods may be waived by the Banks when requesting the public auction of the Vessel before the Court which deals with the proceedings.

The mortgage shall be expressly extended to the indemnities raised from insurance from time to time which belongs to the Vessel as well as to the premiums which may be paid by the Agent, the Spanish Security Agent or any of the Banks pursuant to Clause Fourth paragraph (c) below.


125

The parties instruct the notary public to notify to the relevant insurance company [INSERT DETAILS IF KNOWN] of the existence of this mortgage over the Vessel through a Notary conduct ("conducto notarial") in accordance with Article 40 of the Spanish law on Insurance Contract.

[TITLE]

[REGISTERED]

[CHARGES]

[DETAILS ON INSURANCE POLICIES]

The Vessel has been valued at euro [INSERT AMOUNT - TO BE PROVIDED BY APPROVED
VALUER (AS DEFINED IN THE FACILITY AGREEMENT) AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY].

If the above valuation of the Vessel would be disproportionate to its market value at the time of enforcement of this notarial deed, the Majority Banks (as defined in the Facility Agreement) will be entitled to request a second valuation of an independent expert who will be appointed by the Directorate General of the Merchant Marine or such equivalent administrative body which replaced it.

The parties agree that the higher of both valuations of the Vessel shall be used as the rate for enforcement purposes.

FOURTH.- From the date hereof and whilst any obligations arising from this deed have not been completely settled, the Mortgagor undertakes, in addition and without prejudice to the covenants contained in the Facility Agreement:

(a) to maintain the Vessel in good repair and working condition and to effect in the Vessel, any ordinary and extraordinary repairs that would be necessary to maintain its value and operation, notifying the Spanish Security Agent of any damage or loss suffered by the Vessel;

(b) to pay contributions, taxes, wages, salaries and social contributions of the crew, local taxes and other legitimate expenses that it should pay levied on the Vessel or on this mortgage, providing to the Spanish Security Agent any receipt issued for such payments if it so requires;

(c) to insure and maintain insured the Vessel against the risk of fire, damages and loss, lightening, explosion and other similar risks for the duration of the security, in an insurance company of notorious solvency and to pay promptly all the insurance premiums. The Mortgagor undertakes from time to time at the request of the Spanish Security Agent to forward to the Spanish Security Agent evidence that the relevant premiums have been duly paid;


126

Neither the insured amount nor any insurance policy can be modified without the prior written consent of the Majority Banks. The Agent or any of the Banks are expressly authorised to pay the insurance premiums on behalf of the Mortgagor if any insurance policy is terminated for any cause and has not been replaced by another insurance policy on substantially the same terms;

(d) to keep the certificate of ownership of the Vessel on board pursuant to Article 14 of the Ship Mortgage Law;

(e) generally, to comply with the terms and conditions established in the Facility Agreement;

(f) not to sell or mortgage the Vessel without the prior written consent of all of the Banks); and

(g) not to execute or enter into any type of transaction which implies any type of financial facilities or credit rights (the so called "prestamo a la gruesa") or credit with rights of retention of title which charge the Vessel and which are preferred to this mortgage in accordance with Article 32 and seq. of the Ship Mortgage Law or by the Convention of Brussels on Unification of Rules Related to Ship Mortgages dated 27th May, 1967 without the prior written consent of the Majority Banks.

FIFTH.- The mortgage may be enforced by the Spanish Security Agent, at the election of the Majority Banks , following any of the proceedings available under the Spanish Civil Procedural Law (Law 1/2/2000 of 7th January) and under mortgage regulations and their related provisions subject to compliance, in each case, with the provisions of Articles 41 to 44 of the Ship Mortgage Law, upon the occurrence of any of the events of default listed below:

(a) in any of the events of default set out in Clause 19 of the Facility Agreement, and in particular, default in the payment obligations of the Mortgagor;

(b) the judicial request by the Mortgagor of suspension of payments or bankruptcy or the request of bankruptcy by a third party, or the inability of the Mortgagor to honour its obligations when due, or the proposal of any agreement in benefit of one or more of its creditors.

(c) default by the Mortgagor of any of its obligations under this deed of first ranking mortgage, in particular of the payment of the insurance premiums;

(d) if the Vessel is wrecked for sailing;

(e) if the Vessel is disposed of without the prior written consent of the Majority Banks, provided the Mortgagor has not made a deposit for an amount equal to the Secured Liabilities in the manner provided under articles 1177 and 1180 of the Spanish Civil code. Any amounts due by the Mortgagor to the Banks will be claimed through a notary public prior to the enforcement of this Mortgage.

Pursuant to Article 48 of the Ship Mortgage Law this Deed may be enforced at the election of the Spanish Security Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) in any jurisdiction where the Vessel may be located, in the jurisdiction where this Deed is executed, in the jurisdiction where this Deed is registered or, if different, in the jurisdiction of the address of the Mortgagor.

From now on the Mortgagor expressly authorises the Banks to request, on their own, the issue of a second and further copies of this notarial deed to the effect of the provisions set out in paragraph 4 of


127

Article 517 of the new Civil Procedural Law (Law 1/2000 of 7th January). The Mortgagor provides its consent so that any second or further copies of this notarial deed shall have executive character and that this circumstance is mentioned in the expedition note.

SIXTH.- If the Vessel is abandoned by the Mortgagor, the Spanish Security Agent, as agent for the Banks, will be entitled to take "interim" possession to maintain the Vessel, adopting to such effect the required actions to avoid the loss or damage of the Vessel, including its displacement to any seaport or other place where the integrity of the Vessel is guaranteed. The certificate of the relevant Marine authority informing the abandonment, unjustified inactivity or other similar circumstances will be sufficient to evidence the abandonment of the Vessel.

All the costs and expenses generated shall be borne by the Mortgagor.

SEVENTH .- The Mortgagor shall pay any expenses arising from the execution, registration, cancellation and amendment of the mortgage created under this deed (except the costs of amendments requested at the sole discretion of the Banks), and those arising from the issue of a First Copy for the Spanish Security Agent or for any of the Banks, and those arising from its registration in the Special Registry of Ships of the Canary Islands, the release of the mortgage, and all taxes (including those that are levied today or in the future). However, the costs of transferring the interest of any Bank in this Mortgage in accordance with Clause 11 below shall be borne by the new bank.

The Mortgagor will also pay all costs, expenses and damages due to the non-compliance of this deed, including the fees of the lawyer and the court agent, if the Banks or any of them have used their services, even if these were not legally necessary.

EIGHTH .- The Mortgagor undertakes to execute bearing all costs, at the request of the Spanish Security Agent, any further notarial deed of amendment ("Escritura de Rectificacion o Subsanacion") that may be required in order to record this mortgage in the Special Registry of Ships of the Canary Islands and to amend and complete any defect indicated by the written or oral comments of the Registrar who examines this deed.

For this purpose, the Mortgagor hereby appoints Mr. [INSERT CONTACT] and Mr.
[Eduardo Sebastian de Erice y Malo de Molina] and Mr. [MARIANO LOPEZ PEOAS], so that any of them may grant as many notarial deeds of amendment as may be required to record this mortgage in the Special Registry of Ships of the Canary Islands and determine the content of such subsanation or rectification deed to complete or correct any defect indicated by the Registrar which may prevent the recording of the mortgage.

NINTH .- If in the examination of this deed, the Registrar opines that any clause, provision, paragraph, subparagraph, line or mention in this deed is not recordable, the parties expressly accept its opinion and hereby renounce to the registration of such a clause, provision, paragraph, subparagraph, line or mention, and specifically request the partial registration of this deed, so that this deed is recorded and the mortgage is created.

TENTH.- The parties declare that the operation hereby formalised is not subject to VAT and is subject to Stamp Duty Tax but exempted to it pursuant to article 74 of Law 19/1994 of 6th July on Special Tax Regime in the Canary Islands.


128

ELEVENTH.-: Any of the Banks shall have the right to assign or novate its interest in this Mortgage in accordance with the provisions of Clause 27 (Changes to the Parties) of the Facility Agreement without the consent of the Mortgagor.

CLAUSES

This mortgage is created without prejudice to the unlimited liability of the Buyer pursuant to the provisions of Article 1911 of the Spanish Civil Code and pursuant to the provisions set out in the last paragraph of Article 1857 of the Spanish Civil Code.

For the purpose of the provisions of Articles 571 and seq. of Law 1/2000 of 7th January, 2000, it is expressly agreed by the parties that the determination of the debt able to be claimed in executive proceedings shall be carried out by a certificate issued by the Spanish Security Agent as agent for the Banks which evidences the balance of the account or accounts of the Buyer.

appears in the account or accounts of the Buyer, shall be sufficient in order to exercise the executive proceedings.

It is hereby expressly agreed that the balance of each such account shall be considered as an acknowledgement of debt due by the Buyer to the Banks, and may be claimed pursuant to Clause Fifth.

[DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGED VESSEL]

[TITLE]

[REGISTERED]

[CHARGES]

[DETAILS ON INSURANCE POLICIES]

The Vessel has been valued at euro [INSERT AMOUNT - TO BE PROVIDED BY APPROVED VALUER (AS DEFINED IN THE FACILITY AGREEMENT) AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY OF THE VESSEL].

If the above valuation of the Vessel would be disproportionate to its market value at the time of enforcement of this notarial deed, the Bank will be entitled to request a second valuation of an independent expert who will be appointed by the Directorate General of the Merchant Marine or such equivalent administrative body which replaced it.

The parties agree that the higher of both valuations of the Vessel shall be used as the rate for enforcement purposes.

FOURTH.- From the date hereof and whilst any obligations arising from this deed have not been completely settled, the Mortgagor undertakes, in addition and without prejudice to the covenants contained in the Swap Agreement:

(a) to maintain the Vessel in good repair and working condition and to effect in the Vessel, any ordinary and extraordinary repairs that would be necessary to maintain its value and operation, notifying the Bank of any damage or loss suffered by the Vessel;

(b) to pay contributions, taxes, wages, salaries and social contributions of the crew, local taxes and other legitimate expenses that it should pay levied on the Vessel or on this mortgage, providing to the Bank any receipt issued for such payments if it so requires;

(c) to insure and maintain insured the Vessel against the risk of fire, damages and loss, lightening, explosion and other similar risks for the duration of the security, in an insurance company of notorious solvency and to pay promptly all the insurance premiums. The Mortgagor undertakes from time to time at the request of the Bank to forward to the Bank evidence that the relevant premiums have been duly paid;


148

Neither the insured amount nor any insurance policy can be modified without the prior written consent of the Bank. The Bank is expressly authorised to pay the insurance premiums on behalf of the Mortgagor if any insurance policy is terminated for any cause and has not been replaced by another insurance policy on substantially the same terms;

(d) to keep the certificate of ownership of the Vessel on board pursuant to Article 14 of the Ship Mortgage Law;

(e) generally, to comply with the terms and conditions established in the Facility Agreement;

(f) not to sell or mortgage the Vessel without the prior written consent of the Bank); and

(g) not to execute or enter into any type of transaction which implies any type of financial facilities or credit rights (the so called "prestamo a la gruesa") or credit with rights of retention of title which charge the Vessel and which are preferred to this mortgage in accordance with Article 32 and seq. of the Ship Mortgage Law or by the Convention of Brussels on Unification of Rules Related to Ship Mortgages dated 27th May, 1967 without the prior written consent of the Bank.

FIFTH.- The mortgage may be enforced by the Spanish Security Agent, at the election of the Bank , following any of the proceedings available under the Spanish Civil Procedural Law (Law 1/2/2000 of 7th January) and under mortgage regulations and their related provisions subject to compliance, in each case, with the provisions of Articles 41 to 44 of the Ship Mortgage Law, upon the occurrence of any of the events of default listed below:

(a) in any of the events of default set out in Swap Agreement, and in particular, default in the payment obligations of the Mortgagor;

(b) the judicial request by the Mortgagor of suspension of payments or bankruptcy or the request of bankruptcy by a third party, or the inability of the Mortgagor to honour its obligations when due, or the proposal of any agreement in benefit of one or more of its creditors.

(c) default by the Mortgagor of any of its obligations under this deed of first ranking mortgage, in particular of the payment of the insurance premiums;

(d) if the Vessel is wrecked for sailing;

(e) if the Vessel is disposed of without the prior written consent of the Bank, provided the Mortgagor has not made a deposit for an amount equal to the Secured Liabilities in the manner provided under articles 1177 and 1180 of the Spanish Civil code. Any amounts due by the Mortgagor to the Bank will be claimed through a notary public prior to the enforcement of this Mortgage.

Pursuant to Article 48 of the Ship Mortgage Law this Deed may be enforced at the election of the Spanish Security Agent (acting on the instructions of the Bank) in any jurisdiction where the Vessel may be located, in the jurisdiction where this Deed is executed, in the jurisdiction where this Deed is registered or, if different, in the jurisdiction of the address of the Mortgagor.

From now on the Mortgagor expressly authorises the Bank to request, on their own, the issue of a second and further copies of this notarial deed to the effect of the provisions set out in paragraph 4 of Article 517 of the new Civil Procedural Law (Law 1/2000 of 7th January). The Mortgagor provides


149

its consent so that any second or further copies of this notarial deed shall have executive character and that this circumstance is mentioned in the expedition note.

SIXTH.- If the Vessel is abandoned by the Mortgagor, the Bank will be entitled to take "interim" possession to maintain the Vessel, adopting to such effect the required actions to avoid the loss or damage of the Vessel, including its displacement to any seaport or other place where the integrity of the Vessel is guaranteed. The certificate of the relevant Marine authority informing the abandonment, unjustified inactivity or other similar circumstances will be sufficient to evidence the abandonment of the Vessel.

All the costs and expenses generated shall be borne by the Mortgagor.

SEVENTH .- The Mortgagor shall pay any expenses arising from the execution, registration, cancellation and amendment of the mortgage created under this deed (except the costs of amendments requested at the sole discretion of the Bank), and those arising from the issue of a First Copy for the Bank, and those arising from its registration in the Special Registry of Ships of the Canary Islands, the release of the mortgage, and all taxes (including those that are levied today or in the future). However, the costs of transferring the interest of the Mortgagee in this Mortgage in accordance with Clause 11 below shall be borne by the new mortgagee.

The Mortgagor will also pay all costs, expenses and damages due to the non-compliance of this deed, including the fees of the lawyer and the court agent, if the Bank has used its services, even if these were not legally necessary.

EIGHTH .- The Mortgagor undertakes to execute bearing all costs, at the request of the Bank, any further notarial deed of amendment ("Escritura de Rectificacion
o Subsanacion") that may be required in order to record this mortgage in the Special Registry of Ships of the Canary Islands and to amend and complete any defect indicated by the written or oral comments of the Registrar who examines this deed.

For this purpose, the Mortgagor hereby appoints Mr. [INSERT CONTACT] and Mr.
[Eduardo Sebastian de Erice y Malo de Molina] and Mr. [MARIANO LOPEZ PEOAS], so that any of them may grant as many notarial deeds of amendment as may be required to record this mortgage in the Special Registry of Ships of the Canary Islands and determine the content of such subsanation or rectification deed to complete or correct any defect indicated by the Registrar which may prevent the recording of the mortgage.

NINTH .- If in the examination of this deed, the Registrar opines that any clause, provision, paragraph, subparagraph, line or mention in this deed is not recordable, the parties expressly accept its opinion and hereby renounce to the registration of such a clause, provision, paragraph, subparagraph, line or mention, and specifically request the partial registration of this deed, so that this deed is recorded and the mortgage is created.

TENTH.- The parties declare that the operation hereby formalised is not subject to VAT and is subject to Stamp Duty Tax but exempted to it pursuant to article 74 of Law 19/1994 of 6th July on Special Tax Regime in the Canary Islands.


150

ELEVENTH.-: The Bank shall have the right to assign or novate its interest in this Mortgage in accordance with the provisions of Clause 27 (Changes to the Parties) of the Facility Agreement without the consent of the Mortgagor.

The Mortgagor is not allowed to assign this mortgage without the prior written consent of the Bank.

TWELFTH.-: Any notification required in any enforcement procedure shall be delivered to the following addresses:

- The Bank Paseo de la Castellana, 51 28046, Madrid Spain

Facsimile: +34 91 319 2900

THIRTEENTH: This Mortgage shall be governed by Spanish law and by the relevant international treaties under which Spain is a party, specially by the Convention of Brussels on Unification of Rules Related to Ship Mortgages dated 27th May, 1967.

So it is said and accepted by the appearers in their capacity as they act, whom I orally admonish about the legal implications.

After reading this notarial deed, the appearers agree to it, approve it, ratify it and sign with me, the Notary.
