Builder agrees to furnish at its expense all plant, labor, tools, equipment, and materials, all naval architecture, engineering and detailed working plans and drawings, and to obtain all licenses, permits, inspections, surveys, and approvals necessary for the construction of the Vessel. The Vessel, when delivered, shall have the certificates listed in the Specifications under "Regulatory, Approvals and Certifications", as appropriate, all of which shall be procured by Builder at Builder's expense. All certificates shall be procured in Owner's name. March 30, 2000 Page 3 of 23 4 2. PERFORMANCE BOND Builder agrees to furnish, at its own expense, a performance bond of an amount up to 100% of the Contract Price in favor of Owner, in form and substance, and with such surety as may be approved by Owner, MarAd or any other financial institution, as it may apply, as per model in Appendix C. The Contract Price mentioned in Article 3 here below includes the cost of such performance bond equal to 100% of the Contract Price. 3. CONSIDERATION AND PROGRESS PAYMENTS Owner agrees to pay Builder for the construction of the Vessel covered by this Contract the total sum of $36,258,856.00 (U.S. Dollars) (the "Contract Price"), payable as per Article 5. Percentage complete is to be established through mutual agreement of Builder's Representative, and Owner's Representative. Owner shall deduct 5% from each progress payment as "Retention" and deposit this amount in a bank mutually agreed between Owner and Builder. Any interest on this account shall be payable to Builder. Upon completion of the Work according to the Specifications and approval of the Classification Society, the Owner shall release this "Retention" in full to the Builder prior to the delivery of the Vessel. If a dispute arises, Article 17 ? Arbitration Provision shall apply. It is agreed that progress payments shall be made by Owner to Builder within thirty (30) days of the Builder submitting an invoice to the Owner. All payments shall be made by bank wire to Builder's bank account, or check as specified by Builder upon Contract execution. It is specifically understood and agreed that the Contract Price will only be increased or decreased in strict accordance with the provisions of Article 9 hereof. Owner's obligation to pay the aggregate sum set forth above shall be absolute, and not in any way dependent upon whatever financial commitments, Owner may have from others, whether or not the Vessel is lost or destroyed after delivery and acceptance, and regardless of any occurrence, happening or event of whatsoever nature which occurs after delivery of said Vessel. Builder shall not suffer or permit any liens, claims or encumbrances to be made or asserted against the Vessel in connection with the Work provided that Owner pays for the Work as contemplated hereby. Builder will invoice Owner, and Owner will pay Builder a 10% down payment upon Contract execution. Progress Payments shall be made by Owner to Builder based on approved progress reports as per Master Construction Schedule. March 30, 2000 Page 4 of 23 5 Additional payments to the Contract Price may be due for Changes and Additions to the Work as defined in Article 7, hereunder. Billing of approved Change Orders by Builder, and payment by Owner, shall be made monthly and payment by Owner will be made as mentioned herein. Article 3, for the Contract Price Progress Payments. 4. MASTER CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE The Master Construction Schedule has been established by Builder and is attached at Appendix B of the Contract. This Master Construction Schedule is primarily a GANT chart of the Vessel construction including about 300 tasks in the Master Construction Schedule and shows "critical path" tasks. Builder and Owner acknowledge that the Master Construction Schedule is based on information available as of the execution date of this Contract. As drawings are produced information available as of the execution date of this Contract. The Master Construction Schedule will evolve into a more comprehensive CPM schedule. The CPM schedule will be updated periodically during the course of the Work and the "critical path" tasks will change as the Work progresses, subject to Article 7 and 9. Attached to the Master Construction Schedule is a spreadsheet that allocates the Contract Price for each of the tasks in the Master Construction Schedule over 10,000 points. Each task is broken down between labor and material (material includes equipment and subcontractors). The point value of one point equals the Contract Price divided by 10,000. At the end of each month Builder and Owner will agree on the progress achieved for each task component and derive the cumulative number of points earned by Builder. 5. INVOICING The monthly invoice amount will equal the difference between the current month's cumulative points earned less the cumulative number of points earned at the end of the previous month. The points earned during the month will be multiplied by the point value calculated in accordance with Article 4 above, less 10% thereof. 6. INSPECTION, ACCESS, AND TESTS. The detailed manner and method of performing the Work hereunder shall be under the control of Builder, Owner being interested only in the result obtained. Notwithstanding, Owner and its designated representatives shall be given a reasonable opportunity to inspect the Work and perform all tests it deems appropriate at all times during normal business hours. Builder will, upon notice in writing by Owner or its representative, correct any deficiencies or defects in the Work, irrespective of possible ABS/USCG prior acceptance of same. No inspection or testing shall affect in any manner any of the March 30, 2000 Page 5 of 23 6 thereof by Owner; provided, however, that Builder shall not be required to delay Work because of the absence of such representative. Builder shall provide fully furnished offices, within walking distance from the Vessel, with communications and computer facilities for up to four (4) Owner Representatives and two (2) Standard Pick-up Trucks to be utilized within shipyard facilities at no cost to Owner. 7. TIME FOR COMPLETION Builder shall deliver the Vessel on or before eighteen (18) months after Contract Effective Date as defined in Article 26 below. If, at any time before actual delivery, the construction of the Vessel is delayed due to acts of the U.S. Government, foreign government, princes or rulers; war, blockade, revolution, insurrection, mobilization, civil commotion, or riots; strikes; Acts of God or the public enemy; plague or other epidemic, quarantines; freight embargoes; earthquakes, tidal waves, flood, typhoons, hurricanes or storms that result in damage to the Shipyard or Works of the Builder, or to the Vessel, or any part thereof; fire, flood, or other causes beyond the control of the Builder or its sub-contractors, as the case may be, ("Force Majeure"); then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the time for delivery of the Vessel under this Contract shall be extended for a period of time which shall not exceed the total cumulated time of all such permissible delays. Force Majeure events giving rise to delay(s) lasting 24 hours or less shall not be considered a permissible delay. If any series of Force Majeure events occurs which are due to a single cause, then, in such case, all such events shall be treated as one event. Builder shall take all reasonable steps to minimize the effects of Force Majeure. Delays on account of such causes as provided for in the previous paragraph shall be understood to be permissible delays and are to be distinguished from non-permissible delays on account of which the Contract Price of the Vessel is subject to adjustment, as provided for in the last paragraph of this Article. All reasonable action shall be taken by the party claiming Force Majeure to remove or overcome the cause of Force Majeure and to minimize the effect of Force Majeure on the delivery date, such claiming party to act with all reasonable dispatch. Force Majeure shall not apply, however, to financial obligations otherwise due. Each party claiming Force Majeure shall maintain records thereof which shall be open to inspection by the other and each party claiming Force Majeure shall give notice to the other in writing within two (2) working days of learning of the existence of a Force Majeure event or development. Such notice shall include a new delivery date, which shall be no more distant than the previous delivery date plus the number of day(s) of actual Force Majeure March 30, 2000 Page 6 of 23 7 delay. It is further agreed by the parties that delays that do not affect the "critical path tasks" cannot be used to increase the price or extend the delivery date. If and when the completion of the Vessel is delayed by Force Majeure, the stipulated delivery date may be extended by a period equal to the subsequent delay affecting the critical path tasks, unless otherwise agreed to in writing. The delivery date shall automatically be extended to the new delivery date unless the other party, within five (5) working days after receipt of notice of a Force Majeure event or development, shall state its objection in writing to so treating such event or development as Force Majeure, in which event the rights of both parties shall be preserved, and the burden shall be on the party claiming Force Majeure to establish its right to rely on, and its compliance with, the provisions of this section. It is understood and agreed that Builder has included normal rain days in its schedule and that rain days shall not be considered Force Majeure unless the number of rain days exceeds the mean number as established by the National Weather Service for the area of Builder's yard by more than ten (10) days during the period of the Contract. Within thirty (30) calendar days after the Contract Effective Date hereof, Builder shall furnish Owner with a written schedule specifying the date upon which each item of material and equipment for the Vessel being furnished by someone other than Owner shall be delivered to Builder's yard(s). Permissible delays, as herein above defined, in delivery of material or equipment being furnished for the Vessel by someone other than Owner shall be calculated on the basis of said schedule. Since time is of the essence for the delivery of the Vessel, should a delay in the delivery of the Vessel be due to causes within the control of Builder and not one of the excusable delays set forth in the paragraphs above, Owner shall not be excused from its obligation to accept and pay for said Vessel, but Owner shall be entitled to Liquidated Damages in the amount of $50.00 per calendar day from the 10th day after the scheduled date for delivery until the actual delivery date. Said Liquidated Damages shall in no event exceed 10% of the Price. It is agreed that the Vessel is considered to be complete in accordance with the Contract and ready for delivery if only minor items remain outstanding and if these items do not adversely affect the commercial utility or efficient and lawful operation of the Vessel (collectively, the "Minor Items") and Builder has agreed to correct such Minor Items in a timely manner. 8. DELIVERY AND RISK OF LOSS Builder agrees to complete and deliver the Vessel in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, and after completion of reasonable and satisfactory local sea trials, as described in the Specifications and/or required by the Classification Society, and delivery to the specified port, on payment of the balance of the price by Owner to Builder, deliver the Vessel to the Owner free and clear of all liens, claims or other encumbrances, in a seaworthy condition and in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, at a safe berth floating alongside the dock. In the event Owner fails to sign such a written acceptance, March 30, 2000 Page 7 of 23 8 acceptance shall be conclusively presumed when Owner takes possession and control of the Vessel and departs the dock with the Vessel. Risk of loss shall pass to Owner upon documented delivery and acceptance. Owner shall not unreasonably withhold acceptance of the Vessel, and shall notify Builder, in writing, within three (3) days of the completion of sea trials and inspections, of the exact nature of any defect or fault in construction which constitutes a refusal to accept such Vessel. Owner shall give Builder a reasonable time within which to correct such defect or fault not to exceed 30 days after receipt of written notice of same. Upon satisfactory correction of such defect or fault, Owner shall immediately accept the Vessel. In the event Owner and Builder are unable to agree that the reason for refusing to accept the Vessel constitutes a fault or defect, Owner shall pay Builder the undisputed amount remaining outstanding, and shall deposit the disputed amount into an escrow account at a mutually acceptable financial institution, and the dispute shall be referred to arbitration as provided in Article 17 hereof. Builder shall perform Vessel model tank tests to confirm that the ship basic design (hull and propulsion) is adequate to obtain the specified basic design speed. The Vessel motion, hydrodynamic characteristics, sea-keeping capability, stability and dynamic response (all as determined by response amplitude operators - RAOs) will be determined through model testing and non-linear time domain computer simulations. Such model tests and non-linear time domain computer simulations, will have to be undertaken under Builder's responsibility immediately after the Contract Effective Date and upon completion of hull line refinement no later than two (2) months after the Contract Effective Date. If design confirmation is obtained, then Builder shall guarantee the 13 knots Vessel design speed. In the contrary, Owner will decide whether to accept the reduced speed that will result from the model tests and Builder shall guarantee the same. Alternatively, Owner and Builder will decide the course of action needed to reach the originally required speed and the revised Vessel design will be the subject of a Contract Change (Article 9 of Contract). (a) If the Vessel makes a speed of at least twelve and eight tenths (12.8) knots but less than thirteen (13) knots, Builder shall have the option of making corrections/changes as required to make the design speed or accepting payment of ninety nine per cent (99%) of the Price specified above. (b) If the Vessel makes a speed of at least twelve and one half (12.5) knots but less than twelve and eight tenths (12.8) knots, Builder shall have the option of making corrections/ changes as required to make the design speed or accepting payment of ninety eight per cent (98%) of the Price specified above. March 30, 2000 Page 8 of 23 9 (c) If the Vessel makes a speed of at least twelve (12.0) knots but less than twelve and one half (12.5) knots, Builder shall have the option of making corrections/changes as required to make the design speed or accepting payment of ninety seven per cent (97%) of the Price specified above. (d) If the Vessel makes a speed of at least eleven and one half (11.5) knots but less than twelve (12.0) knots, Builder shall have the option of making corrections/ changes as required to make the design speed or accepting payment of ninety five per cent (95%) of the Price specified above. (e) If the Vessel makes a speed of at least eleven (11.0) knots but less than eleven and one half (11.5) knots, Builder shall have the option of making corrections/changes as required to make the design speed or accepting payment of ninety three per cent (93%) of the Price specified above. Sea trial procedures will be developed by Builder on the basis of Guido Perla & Associates relevant Standard Specifications and SNAME Technical Research Bulletin 3-47 Guide for Sea Trials. Furthermore, upon assessment by Owner of the Builder's report on the mentioned model tank tests and non-linear time domain computer simulations, Owner may require certain modifications of the Vessel basic design to alter the Vessel motion, hydrodynamic characteristics, sea-keeping capability, stability or dynamic response. Any such modifications will also be the subject of a Contract Change Order (Article 9 of the Contract). 9. ALTERATIONS OR CHANGES If during construction of the Vessel, Owner desires to make any additions to, deductions from, or alterations in the Plans and/or Specifications, Owner's representative shall give notice in writing to Builder specifying in detail the changes proposed by Owner. Change Orders proposed by Owner must be mutually agreed upon by Owner and Builder, and Builder shall have no obligation to perform said changes unless a Change Order is signed by the Owner and the Builder and said Change Order must specify: (a) Details of change proposed, including reference to new Plans and/or Specifications, if any; (b) The value of the Change Order, positive or negative; and (c) The number of days by which the delivery date of the Vessel shall be increased or decreased as per Change Order. Changes that do not affect the Master Construction Schedule's critical path cannot be used to extend the delivery date. Should the regulatory agencies' rules and regulations referred to in the Technical Specifications, or the interpretation thereof, written and officially published by the following organizations: International Maritime Organization "IMO", Maritime Safety Committee "MSC", United States Coast Guard NVIC "USCG NVIC", International Association of Classification Societies "IACS", when relevant and applicable, be altered March 30, 2000 Page 9 of 23 10 or changed after the Contract Execution Date, then such change(s) will be the subject of a Change Order to the extent they affect the design and/or construction of the Vessel. In the event that the parties cannot agree upon the cost of such changes, Owner will pay such changes by application of the Unit Rates for Procurement of Materials, Unit Rates for Itemized Work, Unit Rates for Labor or for Equipment as attached to this Agreement in Appendix D at its discretion. 10. INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY Risk of loss of the Vessel shall be with the Builder until delivery. A.

If Builder uses any vessel in connection with its Work for Owner, Builder is required to maintain the following coverages with respect to such vessels: a. Hull and Machinery Insurance on each vessel per the American Institute Hull clauses (June 2, 1977) or equivalent, covering fire explosions and marine perils, together with full four-fourths collision and running down clause [including Tower's Liability Insurance per the American Institute Tug Form (August 1, 1976) or equivalent, if the vessel is a tug] in an amount equal to the full insurable value of the vessel. b. Primary Protection and Indemnity Insurance and Excess Protection and Indemnity Insurance per the SP-23 Form (Revised 1/56) or equivalent including excess Collision (and excess Tower's Liability Insurance, if the vessel is a tug) with limits of liability not less than $10,000,000 each accident on each Vessel. All such insurance policies shall name the Owner as additional assured (with the exception of the Worker's Compensation and Employers' and Maritime Employers' Liability coverages) with a waiver of subrogation, provided that there is no recourse to Owner for the payment of premiums, deductibles or other charges, and be endorsed to be primary as respects any other insurance carried by Owner, and any "other insurance" or "cover elsewhere" clauses are to be deemed deleted as to Owner. All such policies shall be upon such terms and with such insurers and underwriters as are acceptable to Owner, and shall provide not less than thirty (30) days written notice to Owner of any cancellation, failure to renew, or of any material change in coverage. Further, the Comprehensive General Liability policies of Builder shall delete any provisions that might exclude coverage to Owner for claims by Builder's employees on the grounds of that employment relationship.

DEFAULT If any of the following events shall occur: (a) The Owner shall fail to make any payment when due under the Contract or fail to accept delivery of the Vessel completed in accordance with the Contract and such failure shall continue for more than fifteen (15) days after the Builder shall have given written notice thereof to the Owner; or (b) The Owner or Builder shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or shall be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file a petition or answer seeking any composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief for itself under any federal, state or other law or regulation, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of itself or of all or any substantial part of its assets, or shall make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall liquidate or dissolve; or (c) Further to above, if a petition shall be filed against the Owner or Builder seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any federal, state or other law or regulation, and such petition shall remain undismissed or unstayed for an aggregate of thirty (30) days, or if any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Owner or Builder or of all of any substantial part of its properties shall be appointed without the consent or acquiescence of the Owner or Builder and such appointment shall remain unvacated or unstayed for an aggregate of thirty (30); or March 30, 2000 Page 12 of 23 13 (d) Builder shall fail to prosecute the Work with diligence, in accordance with the Master Construction Schedule, made part of the Contract, hereto as Appendix B or otherwise to comply substantially with all of its obligations under this Contract (except and to the extent that such failure is due to Force Majeure or Excusable delays) and such failure shall continue for more than five (5) calendar days after the Owner shall have given written notice thereof to Builder; Then in any such event: 1. Action By Owner Upon Default In the event of Builder's default, and Owner's election to have all or part of the Work completed, the Builder, at Owner's option, shall (i) assign such subcontracts and orders for material, services, and supplies to be used in the performance of the Work to the Owner as the Owner may direct and (ii) pay to the Owner the amount by which the total costs to the Owner of completing the Work, plus all amounts paid to the Builder hereunder, exceeds the total Contract Price, as adjusted hereunder; provided, however, that in computing the amount, if any, to be paid by the Builder to the Owner, appropriate adjustment shall be made for Change Orders. In the event of Builder's default, and if the Owner shall elect not to complete the Vessel, the Owner, at any time within one hundred and twenty (120) days, (but not less than sixty (60) days, unless the parties agree otherwise), from the date of termination hereunder, may sell the partially completed Vessel, work-in-process, materials, articles of machinery, outfit and equipment and supplies, together with all Plans, Specifications, calculations and other records required for the construction or equipment thereof. The sale shall be public, (unless the parties agree otherwise), and shall be made free from any equity of redemption and without appraisement or valuation and shall be conducted in the manner determined by the Owner. Any purchaser at any such sale shall be given reasonable time, not less than sixty (60) days from the date of sale, within which to remove from the Builder's Shipyard the Vessel, work-in-process, materials, articles of machinery, outfit, equipment and supplies purchased. The Owner may become a purchaser at such a sale. The proceeds of the sale shall be applied, first, to payment of all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the Owner or its assigns in making such sale; secondly, to reimbursement of the Owner for payments theretofore made by the Owner, if any, to the Builder on account of the Vessel, and, thirdly, to payment of any damages, demands or deficiencies arising by reason of default of the Builder. The remaining proceeds, if any, shall be paid over to the Builder. In the event the proceeds of the sale shall not be sufficient to pay the first, second and third items, as above set forth, the difference shall be paid to the Owner by the Builder or the Builder's surety or guarantor. The failure of the Owner to exercise the rights conferred upon it hereunder in any one or more instances of the occurrence of an event of default, as hereinabove March 30, 2000 Page 13 of 23 14 defined, shall not constitute a waiver of the Owner's rights under the Contract, as herein provided, in the event of any subsequent Builder's default. 2. Actions by Builder Upon Default: If any event of default specified in this Article 12 has not been cured by Owner within thirty (30) days following Owner's receipt of notice of default, the Builder shall have an option to: (i) suspend work on the Vessel under the Contract until such default is cured by Owner paving any payments in default plus interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate, published in The Wall Street Journal during the period for which such calculations are made plus two percent, computed from the due date of such installment to the date when the Builder has received the payment; (ii) continue to perform the Contract provided the Owner shall remain liable to pay any payments in default plus interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate, published in The Wall Street Journal during the period for which such calculations is made plus two percent, computed from the due date of such installment to the date when the Builder has received the payment; or (iii) terminate the Contract by giving notice to the Owner without prejudice to all claims of the Builder for the proved loss and damages caused by such Owner's default, and any lien or property right of Owner in and to the Vessel and to any material, parts or equipment thereof, including Owner's Supplies at the Shipyard and not yet utilized in the construction of the Vessel, shall forthwith cease, and the Vessel and any parts or equipment thereof, including Owner's Supplies, shall become the sole property of the Builder, provided, that any proceeds thereof obtained at the public auction or at private sale by the Builder shall be applied by the Builder for mitigation of the damages caused by the Owner's default. In the event progress payments paid by the Owner, and the proceeds from the public auction or the private sale as aforesaid are insufficient to adequately compensate the Builder for the proved loss or damages which the Builder has sustained from the Owner's default, the Owner shall be liable for and shall pay the Builder additional compensation to cover such loss or damages. If the proceeds of the sale are more than what the Builder can prove as its loss and/or damages, any amounts in excess of Builder's proven loss and/or damages shall be paid by the Builder to the Owner by immediate transfer of funds. March 30, 2000 Page 14 of 23 15 13. PAYMENT OF SUPPLIERS AND WORKMEN Builder warrants that Builder will pay its suppliers and workmen on time for all materials, equipment and labor which go into the construction of the Vessel and that its books and records reflecting that these debts are kept current will be made available for reasonable inspection by the Owner. Builder also warrants that, insofar as is reasonably practical, all equipment and materials purchased for use in the construction of the Vessel will be marked, tagged or stored in such a manner that they may be readily identifiable as destined for use in the Vessel. 14. ASSIGNMENT The Contract may not be assigned by Owner or Builder without the prior written consent of the other; with the exception of MarAd or any other financial institution. 15. REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT COMMISSIONS Owner and Builder both represent that no commission, finders fees or similar fees are due or owing to any third party in connection with the Contract or the procurement thereof. Should any third party claim any such fee as a result of any alleged prior agreement between Owner or Builder and such third party, Owner or Builder, as the case may be, agrees to indemnify, protect and hold the other harmless from and against any such claim or claims. 16. REGARDING WARRANTIES AND RELATED MATTERS (A) Builder warrants that the Vessel will be built in accordance with the Plans and Specifications in a good and workmanlike manner and that all labor and installations made shall meet the requirements and standards described in the Specifications, and all materials and equipment used by Builder and incorporated into the Vessel, except those specified or furnished by Owner, shall be of the quality set forth in the Specifications. If at any time within one year (365 days) after delivery of the Vessel there shall appear or be discovered in such Vessel any defect in any Builder furnished workmanship or material (hereinafter called a "Construction Deficiency"), such Construction Deficiency shall be made good, at Builder's expense, to the requirements of the Plans and Specifications. Builder shall be responsible for the cost of correcting any such Construction Deficiency only to the extent that the same resulted from defective workmanship or material and not, for instance, from ordinary wear and tear, or the negligence or improper act of Owner or any other person other than the Builder or its subcontractors. Any work required to be performed to correct a Construction March 30, 2000 Page 15 of 23 16 Deficiency for which Builder is liable hereunder shall be carried out at Builder's shipyard, if practical. Where, because of geographical distance involved, it would be impractical to return the Vessel to Builder's yard for repairs or replacements under this warranty, Owner may contract to have such work performed by another shipyard or ship repair facility, and Builder shall be responsible only for a sum representing no more than the cost of corrections at straight time commercial shipyard or ship repair yard rates charged by Builder or prevailing on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. In the event Owner elects to have any work required to be performed to correct a Construction Deficiency, it is an express condition precedent of this warranty that Builder must be notified three (3) days prior to the commencement of work unless the work shall be of an emergency nature to prevent further damage or to complete a critical operation to the Vessel at sea, in which case repairs may be started immediately and Builder must be notified not later than Noon on the next business day. Such notification shall include description of the Construction Deficiency, location of the Vessel and the company selected to perform the work.
