ARTICLE I

AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE AND CHARTER

1.1 Agreement to Acquire the Vessels. (a) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Holdings has entered into the following agreements to acquire the Vessels:

(each individually an “MOA,” and collectively the “MOAs” and each other party to an MOA being referred to individually as a “Seller” and collectively as the “Sellers”). Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 hereof, SFL agrees to cause Holdings to discharge its obligations under each MOA, including without limitation, its obligation to purchase each Vessel from the Seller thereof pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the applicable MOA.

(b) Holdings shall fund the cash deposits and shall furnish the letters of credit required under the ER MOAs and Tsakos MOAs, respectively, as amended to the date

 

2


hereof, in each case, on or before the date and time required under each of the applicable MOAs. Each cash deposit shall be in the amount of $5,485,000 and shall be made in accordance with the terms of the amended ER MOAs. Each letter of credit shall be in the amount of $8,512,500 and shall be furnished in accordance with the terms of the amended Tsakos MOAs.

1.2 The Credit Agreement. (a) Concurrently with execution of this Agreement, the Owners have entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated the date hereof (the “Credit Agreement”), with Fortis Capital Corp. and the other lenders named therein (collectively, the “Lenders”) pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed to advance to the Owners up to a maximum of Two Hundred Ten Million US Dollars ($210,000,000) for the purchase of the Vessels, to be split into five separate advances (each an “Advance”) equal to the lesser of seventy-five percent (75%) of the Adjusted Average Purchase Price (as defined in Section 1.4(b) hereof) of the subject Vessel or Forty-two Million US Dollars ($42,000,000). The Owners hereby agree that so long as no Event of HLL Default (as defined in Section 7.1 hereof) has occurred and is continuing, they shall exercise all of their rights and discharge all of their obligations as Borrower under the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of HLL Default, the Owners hereby agree to follow the reasonable instructions of HLL with respect to the exercise by the Owners of their rights under the following sections of the Credit Agreement unless such instruction would cause a default under the Credit Agreement or a violation of Applicable law.:

Sections 2.02(a), 2.08(b), 2.08(c), 2.11, 2.13(f), 2.15, 3.02 (a), 6.01(p), 8.01(c), 9.01, 9.04(a), 9.07(a) and (c), and the Definitions of “Issuing Lender” and “Classification Society”

In the absence of such instructions, the Owners shall have no obligation hereunder to take any such act with respect to the Credit Agreement. So that HLL may exercise such rights, the Owners shall promptly forward to HLL copies of any and all notices and other communications given by the Owners, or received by the Owners from the Agent, the Lenders or the Security Trustee, under the Credit Agreement. The Owners shall not agree to any amendment of the Credit Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents without the prior written consent of HLL.

(c) The Owners shall request that the Lenders issue Letters of Credit to the Sellers of each of the Tsakos Vessels, on behalf of Holdings, to satisfy Holdings’s deposit requirement under each of the Tsakos MOAs. HLL, SFL, Holdings and the Owners have entered into a Reimbursement Agreement, dated the date hereof, which sets forth the circumstances under which HLL will be obligated to reimburse SFL, Holdings and the Owners, among other things, for any amounts drawn under any such Letter of Credit.

 

3


(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any other related agreement, the parties agree that HLL shall not in any way be, or be deemed to be, a borrower or an obligor under the Credit Agreement.

1.3 Agreement to Charter the Vessels. (a) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, each of the Owners has entered into a demise charter with HLL, dated the date hereof (each a “Charter” and, collectively, the “Charters”), covering the Vessel to be owned by such Owner, pursuant to which the Owner has agreed that, upon delivery of the Vessel to the Owner, the Owner shall demise charter the Vessel to HLL, and HLL shall hire the Vessel from the Owner, subject to and upon the terms and conditions contained in the Charter as amended by the Charter Supplement to be executed by the Owner and HLL upon delivery of the Vessel under the Charter.

(b) It is understood, acknowledged and agreed that delivery of each Vessel from the Seller thereof to Holdings, from Holdings to the intended Owner thereof, and from such Owner to HLL, shall be on back-to-back terms, so that in the absence of an Event of SFL Default (as defined below), (i) Holdings shall not be obligated to accept any Vessel under the applicable MOA unless HLL is also obligated to accept such Vessel under the terms of the applicable Charter, and (ii) acceptance of any Vessel by Holdings under the applicable MOA in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of such Vessel by HLL under the terms of the applicable Charter (as defined below).

(c) Holdings and HLL agree that Holdings shall not accept any Vessel under any MOA, and SFL shall not be obligated to provide funds to Holdings, unless HLL simultaneously accepts such Vessel from the intended Owner thereof under the applicable Charter. If Holdings rejects any Vessel under an MOA at the direction of HLL and such rejection is later determined to have been a default under such MOA, such MOA default shall not be considered an Event of SFL Default hereunder.

1.4 Transfer of Vessels to Owners; Funding of Owners. (a) With respect to each Vessel, upon delivery of the Vessel to Holdings under the applicable MOA, provided no Event of HLL Default (as defined in Section 7.1(a) hereof) has occurred and is continuing, Holdings shall concurrently sell and transfer ownership of the Vessel to the intended Owner thereof under the applicable Resale Agreement (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and such Owner shall purchase the Vessel, for a purchase price equal to the “Adjusted Average Purchase Price” of such Vessel as defined in Section 1.4(b) below. Each Owner shall fund the purchase of its Vessel from Holdings (i) by making a Borrowing under the Credit Agreement in an amount equal to the lesser of 75% of the Adjusted Average Purchase Price of the Vessel and $42,000,000, and (ii) to the extent not funded by such Borrowing, by an equity investment from Holdings in such Owner. Holdings agrees to make such equity investment in each of the Owners as is necessary to enable such Owner to purchase its Vessel at the Adjusted Average Purchase Price and deliver such Vessel to HLL, and thereafter, from time to time, to provide funds as necessary to enable such Owner to discharge its obligations hereunder and under each of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

 

4


(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Average Purchase Price” of each Vessel as of the date hereof is agreed to be Fifty-five Million Four Hundred Fifty Thousand US Dollars ($55,450,000). The “Adjusted Average Purchase Price” of each Vessel shall be equal to the Average Purchase Price of such Vessel (as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.4(c) below) plus or minus the amount of any increase or decrease in the purchase price of such Vessel payable by or to Holdings under the MOA for such Vessel that occurs after the date hereof (or, if applicable, after the date of any adjustment pursuant to Section 1.4(c) below); provided, however, that increases or decreases (if any) in the purchase price of a Vessel under the MOA for such Vessel that are designated by and funded by HLL as a Leasehold Improvement (as defined in Section 2.6 hereof) shall not be considered in determining the Adjusted Average Purchase Price of such Vessel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any decrease in the purchase price of a Vessel under an MOA as the result of a credit given for liquidated damages due to late delivery of such Vessel shall be subject to Section 2.10 hereof and shall not be considered in determining the Adjusted Average Purchase Price of the such Vessel.

(c) If the Adjusted Average Purchase Price of any Vessel on its Vessel Delivery Date would be greater than Fifty-Six Million US Dollars ($56,000,000), the Average Purchase Price of such Vessel and each of the other Vessels not yet purchased by Holdings and, to the extent necessary, the Adjusted Average Purchase Price of the Vessels previously purchased by Holdings (the “Previously Purchased Vessels”) shall be recalculated such that, to the maximum extent possible, the Adjusted Average Purchase Price of each Vessel will not be greater than $56,000,000. If, in making such recalculation, it is necessary to recalculate and increase the Adjusted Average Purchase Price of any Previously Purchased Vessel, the relevant Owner shall pay the amount of such increase to Holdings. To fund this additional payment, the Owner of such Vessel shall request an additional Borrowing under the Credit Agreement with respect to such Vessel and Holdings shall make an additional equity investment in such Owner, such that the ratio of aggregate Advances and equity used by such Owner to finance the purchase of the Previously Purchased Vessel shall be equal to 75% to 25% (the “Desired Debt/Equity Ratio”). If the recalculated Adjusted Average Purchase Price for such Previously Purchased Vessel is less than the previously-determined Adjusted Average Purchase Price for such Vessel, Holdings shall refund such excess to such Owner and such Owner shall prepay a portion of the aggregate Advances made with respect to such Vessel such that the Desired Debt/Equity Ratio for such Vessel is achieved. Any adjustments required pursuant to this Section 1.4(c) shall be made, to the maximum extent possible, to minimize the number of Previously Purchased Vessels effected by such adjustments and to minimize any costs that would be payable by the applicable Owner under the Credit Agreement or the Master Agreement. In no event shall Holdings be required to take delivery of any Vessel or to sell such Vessel to an Owner if the Adjusted Average Purchase Price of such Vessel is greater than $56,000,000.

(d) On the Vessel Delivery Date of the last Vessel to be delivered to HLL (hereafter, the “Calculation Date”), HLL shall pay to Holdings an amount equal to the difference between (i) the aggregate interest accrued at a rate equal to the internal rate of

 

5


return of the Owner’s anticipated pre-tax cash flows over the Basic Period (the “Owner’s IRR”) divided by 365 (the “Daily IRR”) on One Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,300,000) for each Tsakos Vessel for the actual number of days elapsed from the Vessel Delivery Date of such Tsakos Vessel to the Calculation Date, and (ii) the aggregate interest accrued at the Daily IRR on One Million Nine Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,950,000) for each ER Vessel for the actual number of days elapsed from the Delivery Date of such ER Vessel to the Calculation Date.

(e) With respect to each ER Vessel, upon the release of the cash deposit made by Holdings under the MOA with respect to such Vessel, HLL shall pay to Holdings an amount equal to the difference between (i) the interest accrued at a rate of ten percent (10%) divided by 365 on the amount of the cash deposit made by Holdings with respect to such Vessel for the actual number of days from the date such deposit was made to the date such deposit was released, and (ii) the aggregate interest on such cash deposit received by Holdings from the relevant Seller with respect to the period referred to in clause (i).

1.5 Adjustments to Bareboat Charter Terms. (a) It is recognized and acknowledged that the Basic Hire amounts, EBO Prices and Stipulated Loss Values set forth in the Charters, and the debt amortization schedule set forth in Appendix 2 hereto, all on the date hereof are based on certain pricing assumptions, including an assumed Adjusted Average Purchase Price and an assumed Fixed Interest Rate (as defined below). The pricing assumptions for each Vessel as of the date hereof are set forth in Appendix 2 hereto.

(b) Upon delivery of each Vessel, the Basic Hire payable during the Basic Period, the EBO Prices, the Stipulated Loss Values and the debt amortization schedule for such Vessel shall be adjusted to take into account any differences between (i) the Adjusted Average Purchase Price of such Vessel as of the Vessel Delivery Date for such Vessel, and the Adjusted Average Purchase Price as set forth in Appendix 2 hereto, and (ii) the actual fixed interest rate applicable to the Tranche determined pursuant to the Designated Transactions and the Applicable Margin for such Vessel (for each Vessel, the “Fixed Interest Rate”) as of the Vessel Delivery Date for such Vessel and the Fixed Interest Rate for such Vessel as set forth in Appendix 2 hereto. Adjustments pursuant to this Section 1.5(b) shall:

 

  (i) be made using the same assumptions (other than the Adjusted Average Purchase Price and Fixed Interest Rate assumptions) and methodology used to calculate the Basic Hire payable during the Basic Period, the EBO Prices, the Stipulated Loss Values and the debt amortization schedule as set forth in Appendix 2 hereto;

 

  (ii) be based on a mortgage-style amortization schedule with respect to the Tranche for the relevant Vessel down to a $20,000,000 balloon at the end of the Basic Period; and

 

6


  (iii) subject to subsections (i) and (ii) above, be made in a manner that minimizes the cost to HLL while maintaining the Owner’s IRR.

(c) If following delivery of a Vessel under the Charter for such Vessel, the Adjusted Average Purchase Price of such Vessel is further adjusted pursuant to Section 1.4(c) above, the Basic Hire payable during the Basic Period, the EBO Prices, the Stipulated Loss Values and the debt amortization schedule for such Vessel shall be adjusted as described in Section 1.5(b) above to take into account the change in the Adjusted Average Purchase Price of such Vessel and any change in the Fixed Interest Rate applicable to such Vessel.

(d) Basic Hire payable during the Renewal Period for each Vessel has been calculated on the date hereof based on the pricing assumptions set forth in Appendix 2 hereto. If the Charter for any Vessel is extended to include the Renewal Period, the Basic Hire payable during the Renewal Period shall be adjusted upon commencement of such Renewal Period to reflect (i) the actual amortization of $20,000,000 of non-recourse debt outstanding at the end of the Basic Period if different from mortgage style amortization down to a $14,600,000 balloon at the end of the Renewal Period, and (ii) the actual interest rate on the non-recourse debt outstanding at the end of the Basic Period if different from the assumed interest rate set forth in Appendix 2 hereto; provided, that if the Owner elects not to incur any third-party non-recourse indebtedness during the Renewal Period, the Basic Hire during the Renewal Period shown on Appendix 2 will be the Basic Hire during the Renewal Period. Any adjustment shall be made using the principles described in Section 1.5(b) above.

1.6 SFL Parties’ Obligations. Each of the SFL Parties shall take all steps and do all things necessary to ensure the full and timely performance by each of the other SFL Parties of their respective obligations under this Agreement and under each of the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Charters) to which they are a party. Each of the SFL Parties shall be jointly and severally liable to HLL for any failure by any of the SFL Parties to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document.

ARTICLE II

RIGHTS AND DUTIES DURING VESSEL CONSTRUCTION

2.1 Appointment of HLL as Agent; Indemnification. (a) Holdings hereby appoints HLL as its duly authorized agent for all purposes under each of the MOAs with full power and authority to exercise and perform, for and on behalf of Holdings, all of the rights and obligations of Holdings under each MOA as if HLL, rather than Holdings, was named therein as buyer of the Vessel. Holdings agrees to execute and deliver all documents, take all steps and do all things reasonably necessary or appropriate to confer upon HLL full authority to act on Holdings’s behalf with respect to the MOAs as contemplated by this Section 2.1(a). The authority conferred upon HLL by this Section 2.1(a) shall remain in full force and effect only while no Event of HLL Default (as defined in Section 7.1(a) hereof) has occurred and is continuing.

 

7


(b) The exercise by HLL of its authority as Holdings’s agent with respect to the MOAs shall be at the sole risk and expense of HLL. HLL hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Holdings harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, costs and expenses arising out of or resulting from the exercise by HLL of its authority as Holdings’s agent with respect to the MOAs.

(c) HLL shall promptly deliver to Holdings a copy of all notices and other material communications given to or received by HLL under any of the MOAs or with respect to any of the Vessels if such notices or other communications are not provided directly to Holdings.

2.2 Limitation on Holdings Exercise of Rights; Duty to Assist. (a) Holdings agrees that so long as no Event of HLL Default has occurred and is continuing, it shall not exercise any of its rights as buyer under any MOA without the prior written approval of HLL; provided that Holdings shall retain the right to inspect the Vessels and examine their specifications to the extent permitted by the MOAs. Holdings shall promptly deliver to HLL a copy of all notices and other communications given to or received by Holdings under any of the MOAs or with respect to any of the Vessels if such notices or other communications are not provided directly to HLL.

(b) If, for any reason, the delegation of authority contained in Section 2.1(a) hereof is ineffective to confer upon HLL all the rights and obligations of Holdings under any of the MOAs, so long as no Event of HLL Default has occurred and is continuing, Holdings shall follow the reasonable instructions of HLL with regard to the exercise by Holdings of its rights, and the performance by Holdings of its obligations, as buyer under such MOA(s); provided that HLL shall indemnify and hold Holdings harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, costs and expenses arising out of or resulting from actions taken by Holdings at HLL’s direction or request pursuant to this Section 2.2(b).

2.3 Supervision, Inspection and Attendance at Trials. HLL shall have the right to appoint any supervisors to be appointed by the buyer under the MOAs, as well as the right to provide the key crew to attend and participate in all tests and trials of the Vessels to the extent permitted by the MOAs. All expenses, responsibility and risks associated with the supervisors appointed or the key crew provided by HLL pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be borne by HLL. HLL shall indemnify and hold SFL, Holdings and the Owners harmless for any losses, liability, costs or expenses incurred by SFL, Holdings or the Owners arising out of or resulting from any act or omission of the supervisors appointed, or the key crew provided, by HLL pursuant to this Section 2.3.

2.4 Changes and Modifications. (a) HLL shall have the right to request changes and modifications to the Vessels to the extent permitted by the relevant MOA; provided that any change or modification that would cause the Adjusted Average Purchase Price of any Vessel to exceed $56,000,000 shall, to the extent possible, be made as a Leasehold Improvement in accordance with Section 2.6 hereof. Notwithstanding the

 

8


foregoing, HLL agrees that it shall not request any change or modification to any Vessel that would materially adversely affect the value of such Vessel or that will cause the delivery date of such Vessel to extend beyond the Commitment Termination Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) without the prior written consent of Holdings.

(b) HLL shall provide any funds or other security required by the relevant MOA with respect to any changes or modifications requested by HLL. Upon delivery of the subject Vessel, any such funds, together with all interest thereon, shall (to the extent delivered by the Seller) be returned to HLL except to the extent that the change for which the funds were provided is a Leasehold Improvement pursuant to Section 2.6 below, in which case such funds shall be applied to the purchase price of the Vessel under the applicable MOA.

2.5 Buyer’s Supplies. HLL shall have the right to furnish “Buyer Supplies” with respect to any Vessel to the extent permitted by the relevant MOA. All such Buyer Supplies shall be arranged and paid for by HLL and shall be the property of HLL. If the relevant MOA is terminated for any reason, any Buyer Supplies recovered from the Builder shall be delivered to and retained by HLL.

2.6 Leasehold Improvements. (a) HLL shall have the right to elect, and in the circumstances described in Section 2.4(a) and this Section 2.6 the obligation to elect, upon 10 days prior written notice to Holdings, to fund the cost of any change to be made to any Vessel at the time that funding therefor is required under the applicable MOA, and to designate such change as a leasehold improvement (each a “Leasehold Improvement”); provided that any such change does not constitute a structural change to the subject Vessel and will not materially reduce its market value. If HLL makes any Leasehold Improvement to any Vessel, title to such Leasehold Improvement shall vest in and remain the property of (i) HLL to the extent that such Leasehold Improvement shall be readily removable from the Vessel without causing any material damage to the Vessel, and (ii) the Owner to the extent that such Leasehold Improvement shall not be readily removable from the Vessel without causing material damage to the Vessel. Any change to any Vessel that HLL has funded as a Leasehold Improvement pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall not be taken into consideration in the determination of the Adjusted Average Purchase Price of such Vessel. To the maximum extent possible, and subject to Section 2.6(b), HLL shall elect to designate each change or modification to a Vessel as a Leasehold Improvement pursuant to this Section 2.6.

(b) If any change or modification to a Vessel that does not constitute a structural change would cause the Adjusted Average Purchase Price of such Vessel to exceed Fifty-six Million US Dollars ($56,000,000), HLL shall be required to make such change or modification as a Leasehold Improvement and shall fund such Leasehold Improvement in accordance with Section 2.6(a) above.

2.7 Amounts Recovered for Vessel Deficiencies. (a) Any amount recoverable from the Builder (other than liquidated damages for delay) shall be paid to and retained by or credited to Holdings (with all costs of pursuing such recovery to be for HLL’s account) and shall be considered a reduction in the purchase price of such Vessel for purposes of determining the Adjusted Average Purchase Price of such Vessel.

 

9


(b) If pursuant to Section 11(c) of the ER MOAs or Section 24 of the Tsakos MOAs, the Vessel must be accepted subject to a dispute concerning deficiencies, HLL may, unless an Event of HLL Default has occurred and is continuing, either (i) direct the Seller to assign the Building Contract to HLL for the purpose of pursuing claims against the Builder, or (ii) direct the Seller with respect to claims against the Builder under the Building Contract; provided that the SFL Parties shall have no responsibility or liability if the applicable Seller refuses to honor its commitments under the subject MOA. In either case, any amounts recovered from the Builder shall be paid to and retained by Holdings (with all costs of pursuing such recovery to be for HLL’s account) and shall be considered a reduction in the purchase price of such Vessel for purposes of determining the Adjusted Average Purchase Price of such Vessel.

2.8 Termination of an MOA. (a) If a right to terminate an MOA arises, HLL may either (i) direct Holdings to terminate the MOA, or (ii) elect to take, or identify a designee to take, an assignment of the subject MOA. If HLL elects to take an assignment of the subject MOA, the terms of Article III hereof shall apply.

(b) Upon the termination of any MOA, HLL shall be entitled to receive (i), when delivered by the Seller, all monies (if any), and all interest thereon, deposited by HLL with the Seller with respect to changes and modifications to the subject Vessel, and (ii) when delivered by the Builder, all Buyer Supplies furnished by HLL with respect to the subject Vessel. Any amounts recovered from the Seller in connection with the termination of the MOA shall be paid to and retained by HLL (with all costs of pursuing such recovery to be for HLL’s account). The deposit furnished by Holdings under the terminated MOA (whether in the form of cash or a letter of credit), including any interest thereon to the extent payable to Holdings under the applicable MOA, shall be returned to Holdings in accordance with the terms of the applicable MOA.

2.9 Right to Maintain ER Building Contract. If the Seller of either ER Vessel informs HLL that it intends to cancel the Building Contract for such Vessel in accordance with the terms thereof, and HLL desires to maintain the Building Contract, HLL may (to the extend permitted by the MOA) either (i) take, or identify a designee to take, an assignment of the Building Contract (as contemplated by Section 12(b)(i) of the ER MOAs), or (ii) direct Holdings to direct the Seller to maintain the Building Contract (as contemplated by Section 12(b)(ii) of the ER MOAs), provided that all amounts payable to the Seller and or the Builder in connection with such election shall be for HLL’s account. If HLL does not elect to maintain the Building Contract and the subject ER MOA is therefore terminated, the terms of Section 2.8 hereof shall apply, and the cash deposit furnished by Holdings under the terminated MOA, including any interest thereon pursuant to Section 1.4(e) hereof, shall be returned to Holdings. If HLL elects to take, or elects a designee to take, an assignment of the Building Contract, it shall so notify Holdings, and Holdings shall have a period of five (5) days to notify HLL that Holdings elects to take an assignment of the Building Contract, in which case all aspects of this transaction shall remain in place.

 

10


2.10 Liquidated Damages for Late Delivery and Vessel Deficiencies. (a) Any liquidated damages for late delivery of a Vessel that are paid to Holdings under the MOA for such Vessel shall be paid by Holdings to, and shall be retained by, HLL. If the purchase price of any Vessel payable by Holdings is reduced as the result of a credit given for liquidated damages for late delivery of such Vessel, Holdings shall pay to HLL an amount equal to such credit upon delivery of the Vessel by the Owner thereof to HLL under the Charter for such Vessel. Liquidated damages for late delivery of a Vessel (whether paid by the Builder in cash or given as a credit) shall not be taken into consideration in determining the Adjusted Average Purchase Price of the subject Vessel.

(b) Liquidated damages for vessel deficiencies that affect the purchase price of the Vessel under the MOA for such Vessel will be taken into consideration in determining the Adjusted Average Purchase Price of the subject Vessel.

2.11 Vessel Warranties. Upon delivery of each Vessel to Holdings and acceptance by HLL of such Vessel under the Charter for such Vessel, Holdings shall assign the MOA covering such Vessel to HLL for the purpose of transferring to HLL all of Holdings’ rights with respect to the Builder’s warranty under the Building Contract for such Vessel as set forth in Section 14 of the ER MOAs and Section 21 of the Tsakos MOAs. If Holdings is unable for any reason to assign the MOA to HLL, Holdings shall pursue any warranty claims in its own name for the benefit of HLL and at HLL’s expense and, in doing so, shall act strictly in accordance with the reasonable instructions of HLL.

2.12 General Indemnity Related to MOAs. In consideration of the agreement of SFL, Holdings and the Owners to enter into the transaction described in the recitals hereto, HLL agrees that if Holdings is declared to be in default under any MOA (any such default, an “MOA Default”), unless such MOA Default is due to an event described in the proviso at the end of this Section 2.12, HLL shall indemnify, defend and hold SFL, Holdings and the Owners harmless from and against each of the following:

 

  (i) the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel to Holdings and the Owners in connection with such MOA Default;

 

  (ii) any damages payable to the Seller under such MOA resulting from such MOA Default (including damages payable by SFL pursuant to its guarantee of Holdings’s obligations under the MOA); and

 

  (iii) any other costs, fees, liabilities and expenses incurred by SFL, Holdings or the Owners in connection with such default;

provided, that HLL shall not be obligated to indemnify or reimburse SFL, Holdings or the Owners hereunder if the MOA Default was due to or resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct of SFL, Holdings or any Owner, an act or omission of SFL, Holdings

 

11


or any Owner in breach of their obligations under this Agreement, an Event of SFL Default (as defined below), or a failure by SFL, Holdings or any Owner to satisfy any term or condition of the Credit Agreement relating to SFL, Holdings and/or such Owner or to matters within SFL’s, Holdings’s and/or any Owner’s control, unless such breach or failure is due to an act or omission of HLL.

ARTICLE III

HLL CALL OPTION

3.1 Call Option Triggering Events. HLL shall have an option (a “Call Option”) to take, or to identify a designee to take, an assignment of any MOA upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each a “Call Option Triggering Event”) with respect to such MOA:

 

  (i) the Vessel covered by such MOA is not delivered by the Seller under the subject MOA on or before the Commitment Termination Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement);

 

  (ii) the Lenders fail to make available, or notify the Owners, SFL, Holdings or HLL that they will not make available (whether due to non-fulfillment of a condition precedent in the Credit Agreement or otherwise), the full amount of the Advance with respect to the Vessel covered by the MOA for any reason;

 

  (iii) any condition precedent set forth in Article V hereto with respect to the Vessel covered by such MOA is not fulfilled, satisfied or waived when required to be fulfilled or satisfied, or HLL has any reason to believe that any such condition precedent is unlikely to be fulfilled, satisfied or waived by the applicable party when required and so notifies the other parties hereto;

 

  (iv) any event shall occur that would cause the Adjusted Average Purchase Price for any Vessel to exceed $56,000,000 and HLL is not able to reduce such Adjusted Average Purchase Price by making a Leasehold Improvement pursuant to Section 2.6 hererof for any reason;

 

  (v) any other event occurs that gives the Seller under the MOA the right to draw on the letter of credit furnished as a deposit under the MOA or otherwise to terminate the MOA; or

 

  (vi) an Event of SFL Default shall occur and be continuing (in which case, the Call Option shall arise with respect to all the MOAs).

3.2 Call Option Price. If HLL exercises the Call Option with respect to any MOA, HLL or its designee shall (i) unless the Call Option Triggering Event is an Event of SFL Default, pay to Holdings an amount equal to all out-of-pocket costs and expenses

 

12


incurred by Holdings in connection with the subject MOA and/or the financing of the Vessel covered thereby which have not been previously paid or reimbursed by HLL, and (ii) cause the return of the deposit provided by Holdings (whether in the form of cash or a letter of credit and including any interest earned on such cash deposit) as a condition to Holdings making such assignment.

3.3 Exercise of Call Option. If HLL desires to exercise the Call Option hereunder with respect to any MOA, it shall give written notice of exercise to SFL and Holdings identifying (i) the MOA to be assigned, (ii) the party to take the assignment of such MOA, (iii) the Call Option Triggering Event, and (iv) the anticipated delivery date of the Vessel under the MOA. Concurrent with the payment of the Call Option Price, if any, and return of the deposit provided by Holdings, or immediately upon receipt of such notice from HLL if the anticipated delivery date is less than fifteen (15) days from the date of such Call Option notice, Holdings shall assign the applicable MOA to the assignee identified by HLL in the Call Option notice.

3.4 Right of SFL to Maintain Transaction. The Call Options contained in this Article III shall not be used by HLL to exclude SFL from the transaction in situations where SFL desires to maintain its position in the transaction and it is possible to do so without causing a default under an MOA or the incurrence by HLL of additional expense. Therefore, provided that no Event of SFL Default has occurred and is continuing, if HLL exercises its Call Option under Sections 3.1(i) through (iv) above, SFL shall have three (3) days to notify HLL in writing that SFL desires to maintain its position in the transaction. If SFL gives such a notice, the HLL Call Option shall be suspended, and SFL shall then have fifteen (15) days to address the situation giving rise to the Call Option Triggering Event. During that time, HLL shall work with SFL in good faith in order to find a solution that will maintain SFL’s position in the transaction; provided that neither party shall be obligated to accept a solution that would involve a material change to any financial aspect of the transaction. If at the end of the 15-day period, the parties have not secured a solution, or sooner if HLL determines in good faith that it must exercise its Call Option to avoid an imminent default under any MOA, the HLL Call Option shall be immediately reinstated.

ARTICLE IV

(c) Financial Condition. The audited financial statements of HLL as of December 25, 2005 made available to SFL fairly present the financial condition of HLL as of such date and the results of its operations for the period ending on such date. Since December 25, 2005.

8.6 Governing Law and Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

8.7 Dispute Resolution.

* Amounts shown assume that there is no Basic Hire paid on the Stipulated Loss Payment Date.

Amounts shown would be increased for any costs that would be payable by or decreased for amounts that would be payable to the applicable Owner under the Credit Agreement or the Master Agreement in respect of any prepayment of debt related to the payment of a Stipulated Loss Value.

If Stipulated Loss Value must be determined on a payment date other than a Stipulated Loss Payment Date shown above, such Stipulated Loss Value shall be calculated using the same assumptions and methodology used to calculate the Stipulated Loss Values shown above.

* Amounts shown assume that there is no Basic Hire paid on the Stipulated Loss Payment Date.

Amounts shown would be increased for any costs that would be payable by or decreased for amounts that would be payable to the applicable Owner under the Credit Agreement or the Master Agreement in respect of any prepayment of debt related to the payment of a Stipulated Loss Value.

If Stipulated Loss Value must be determined on a payment date other than a Stipulated Loss Payment Date shown above, such Stipulated Loss Value shall be calculated using the same assumptions and methodology used to calculate the Stipulated Loss Values shown above.
