Item 1.01               ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT;

Item 3.02               UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

On November 10, 2011, we and our wholly owned Cayman Island subsidiary, Island Breeze International (“International”), entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with an investor (the “Investor”).  Pursuant to the SPA, we and International issued to Investor a promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $2,750,000 which, if fully funded, will represent $2,500,000 in cash and a non refundable 9% original issue discount (“OID”) of $250,000.  Pursuant to this financing, we can request advances be made to us by the Investor from time to time.  The initial advance at closing was $724,580.38 (inclusive of the OID).  Subsequent advances will be used primary to pay for refurbishment of Island Breeze.  The Note is due and payable on November 9, 2012 and is secured by a mortgage on Island Breeze, a vessel owned by International.
 
In connection with this loan, we issued to Investor 2,083,333 shares of our common stock (the “Shares”).  We have the right to purchase, for $0.001 per share, a percentage of these Shares determined by the percentage of the Note which is funded by advances (the “Repurchase Right”).  Under the terms of the SPA, Investor has the right, commencing on the 22nd month anniversary of the closing (subject to acceleration in certain circumstances), to cause us and International to purchase the shares for cash at a purchase price per share of $0.10, subject to certain adjustments (the “Put”).  The mortgage will be released upon our satisfaction of the Note and until such time will secure our obligations under the Note, the Put, and other obligations set forth in the documents executed with respect to the transaction.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
 
2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Companies.
 
Each Company hereby represents and warrants to the Investor, as of the date hereof and the date of the Closing hereunder (except as set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions attached hereto with each numbered Schedule corresponding to the section number herein) or as explicitly disclosed in the Commission Documents, as follows:
 
(a) Organization, Good Standing and Power.  Each Company is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being conducted.  No Company has any direct or indirect Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 2.1(g)) or owns securities of any kind in any other entity except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(g) hereto.  Each Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every other jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary except for any jurisdiction(s) (alone or in the aggregate) in which the failure to be so qualified will not have a Material Adverse Effect.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties (including the Collateral), prospects, or financial condition of any Company and/or any condition, circumstance, or situation that would prohibit or otherwise materially interfere with the ability of any Company to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents in any material respect.
 
(b) Authorization; Enforcement.  Each Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and the Note, and the Shipowner has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform the Mortgage (as defined below), the Assignment of Insurances made by the Shipowner in favor of the Investor dated as of the Closing Date (the “Assignment of Insurances”) and the Assignment of Earnings and Maritime Contracts made by the Shipowner in favor of the Investor dated as of the Closing Date (the “Assignment of Earnings and Maritime Contracts”, and together with this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage, and the Assignment of Insurances, collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) and to issue and sell the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by each Company and the consummation by each Company of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and, except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(b), no further consent or authorization of any Company, its Board of Directors, stockholders or any other third party is required.  When executed and delivered by each Company, each of the Transaction Documents shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of each Company a party thereto, enforceable against each Company a party thereto in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.  In addition, when the Mortgage has been filed and recorded with the Mercantile (Marine) Section of the Public Registry of Panama, the Lien created by the Mortgage shall constitute a “first priority naval mortgage” under Chapters V and VI, Title IV of Law No. 55 of August 6, 2008, and all other applicable laws of the Republic of Panama, on all right, title and interest of the Shipowner in the whole of the Vessel, subject to no other Liens except Permitted Maritime Liens (as defined in the Mortgage).

(c) Capitalization.  The authorized capital stock and the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Company as of the Closing Date is set forth on Schedule 2.1(c)(i) hereto.  All of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock and any other outstanding security of each Company have been duly and validly authorized.  Except as set forth in this Agreement, or as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c)(ii) hereto, no shares of Common Stock or any other security of any Company are entitled to preemptive rights or registration rights and there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, call or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, any shares of capital stock of any Company.  Furthermore, except as set forth in this Agreement and as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c)(iii) hereto, there are no contracts, commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which any Company is or may become bound to issue additional shares of the capital stock of such Company or options, securities or rights convertible into shares of capital stock of such Company.  Except as provided on Schedule 2.1(c)(iv) hereto, no Company is a party to or bound by any agreement or understanding granting registration or anti-dilution rights to any person with respect to any of its equity or debt securities.  Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c)(v), no Company is a party to, and has no knowledge of, any agreement or understanding restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of any Company.
 
(d) Issuance of Securities.  The Note and the Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and, when paid for or issued in accordance with the terms hereof, the Note shall be validly issued and outstanding, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and rights of refusal of any kind.  When the Shares are issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of this Agreement the Shares will be duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and rights of refusal of any kind and the holders shall be entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock.
 
(e) No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by each Company, the performance by each Company of its obligations under the Note and the consummation by each Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and the issuance of the Securities as contemplated hereby, do not and will not (i) violate or conflict with any provision of any Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) or Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), each as amended to date, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, instrument, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which any Company is a party or by which any Company or any of any Company’s properties or assets are bound (other than pursuant to the Transaction Documents), (iii) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to any Company or by which any property or asset of any Company are bound or affected, or (iv) create or impose a lien, mortgage, security interest, charge or encumbrance of any nature on any property or asset of any Company under any agreement or any commitment to which any Company is a party or by which any Company is bound or by which any of their respective properties or assets are bound.  No Company is required under federal, state, foreign or local law, rule or regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or issue and sell the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof (other than any filings, consents and approvals which may be required to be made by any  Company under applicable state and federal securities laws, rules or regulations).  The business of each Company is not being conducted in violation of any laws, ordinances or regulations of any governmental entity.

(f) Commission Documents, Financial Statements.  The Common Stock of Island is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Island has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (all of the foregoing including filings incorporated by reference therein being referred to herein as the “Commission Documents”).  Each Commission Document complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder and other federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to such documents, and the Commission Documents do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  As of their respective dates, the financial statements of Island included in the Commission Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission or other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto.  Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements), and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of Island and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).
 
(g) Subsidiaries.  Schedule 2.1(g) hereto sets forth each Subsidiary of each Company, showing the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and showing the percentage of each person’s ownership of the outstanding stock or other interests of such Subsidiary.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “Subsidiary” shall mean any corporation or other entity of which at least 50% of the securities or other ownership interest having ordinary voting power (absolutely or contingently) for the election of directors or other persons performing similar functions are at the time owned directly or indirectly by a Company and/or any of its other Subsidiaries.  All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable.  Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(g) hereto, there are no outstanding preemptive, conversion or other rights, options, warrants or agreements granted or issued by or binding upon any Subsidiary for the purchase or acquisition of any shares of capital stock of any Subsidiary or any other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the rights to subscribe for any shares of such capital stock.  No Company nor any Subsidiary is subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire any shares of the capital stock of any Subsidiary or any convertible securities, rights, warrants or options of the type described in the preceding sentence except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(g) hereto.  No Subsidiary is party to, nor has any knowledge of, any agreement restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of such Subsidiary.  Each subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdictions set forth on Schedule 2.1(g) and has the requisite corporate or other power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being conducted.

5.2 Indemnification Procedure.
 
Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article V (an “indemnified party”) will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matter giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article V except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.  In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnifying party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnified party exists with respect to such action, proceeding or claim (in which case the indemnifying party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified parties), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.  In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim.  In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder.  The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim.  The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.  If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent.  Notwithstanding anything in this Article V to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim.  The indemnification obligations to defend the indemnified party required by this Article V shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party shall refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification.  The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

a. the insurer may make payments in discharge of any bonds or guarantees issued in favor of persons other than the Owner, and further may make payments directly to such persons in discharge of claims against the Owner, if the Owner shall not have incurred the loss, damage or expense in question (whether or not an Event of Default or default then exists); and
 
b. the insurer may make payments to the Owner or any permitted charterer, as the case may be, in respect of any liability, loss, damage or expense incurred or paid by the Owner or such permitted charterer in reimbursement for such liability, loss, damage or expense except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the insurer has received written notice thereof from the Mortgagee, all payments otherwise payable to the Owner shall be made to the Mortgagee for application in accordance with Section 8 of this Mortgage.

(g) In the event that a claim is made against the Vessel for any loss, damage or expense that is covered by insurance and it is necessary for the Owner to obtain a bond or to supply other security to prevent arrest of the Vessel or to release the Vessel from arrest on account of such claim, the Mortgagee, on written request of the Owner, shall assign to any person executing a surety or guaranty bond or other agreement to save or release the Vessel from such arrest all right, title and interest of the Mortgagee in and to such insurance proceeds covering such loss, damage or expense up to the amount of such bond or agreement as collateral security to indemnify such person against liability under such bond or other agreement.

(j) The Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such independent insurance broker to agree (i) to advise the Mortgagee promptly of any default in the payment of any premium, commission, club call, assessment or advance required (whether for new insurance or for insurance replacing, renewing or extending existing insurance) and of any other act, omission or event of which such independent insurance broker has knowledge and which in its sole judgment (A) might invalidate or render unenforceable, or cause the cancellation or lapse or prevent the renewal or extension of, in whole or in part, any Insurances carried pursuant to Section 4(a), (B) has resulted or might result in any material modification of the terms of any such Insurances, or (C) has or might result in any such Insurances not being in compliance with the applicable requirements of this Section 4, and (ii) to furnish the Mortgagee from time to time, upon request, detailed information with respect to any of the Insurances carried on or with respect to the Vessel or the operation thereof.

(l) The Owner agrees that it will not do any act or voluntarily suffer or permit any act to be done whereby any Insurances shall or may be suspended, impaired or defeated and will not suffer or permit the Vessel to engage in any voyage or to carry out any operations not permitted under the insurance policies in effect without first covering the Vessel to the amount herein provided for such voyage or such operations.

(iii)           if the Owner is in default of any of its contractual obligations or liabilities to the classification society, to specify to the Mortgagee in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances of such default, the consequences thereof, and any remedy period agreed or allowed by the classification society.
 
(b) Notwithstanding the above instructions and undertaking given for the benefit of the Mortgagee, the Owner shall continue to be responsible to the classification society for the performance and discharge of all its obligations and liabilities relating to or arising out of or in connection with the contract it has with the classification society, and nothing herein or therein shall be construed as imposing any obligation or liability of the Mortgagee to the classification society in respect thereof.
 
 
14

 
 
(c) The Owner shall further notify the classification society that all the foregoing instructions and authorizations shall remain in full force and effect until revoked or modified by written notice to the classification society received from the Mortgagee, and that the Owner shall reimburse the classification society for all its customary and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in complying with the foregoing instructions.

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

(ii) at any time and as often as may be necessary, take any action to protect the security created by this Mortgage and each and every expense or liability (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) so incurred by the Mortgagee in the protection of such security shall be repayable to the Mortgagee by the Owner on demand, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date on which such expense or liability was incurred by the Mortgagee until full payment is received.  The Owner promptly shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Mortgagee such documents, if any, and shall promptly do and perform such acts, if any, as in the reasonable opinion of the Mortgagee or its counsel are necessary or advisable to facilitate or expedite the protection, maintenance and enforcement of the security created by this Mortgage;

(vi) collect, recover, compromise and give a good discharge for all claims then outstanding or thereafter arising under the Insurances or any of them and to take over or institute (if necessary using the name of the Owner) all such proceedings in connection therewith as the Mortgagee reasonably thinks fit and to permit the brokers through whom collection or recovery is effected to charge the usual and customary brokerage therefor;

(ix) as permitted by the laws of the Republic of Panama and other applicable law, sell the Vessel at public auction, free from any claim of or by the Owner of any nature whatsoever by first giving notice of the time and place of sale with a general description of the Vessel in the following manner:
 
a. by publishing such notice for ten (10) consecutive days in a daily newspaper of general circulation published in New York City; and
 
b. if the place of sale should not be New York City, then also by publication of a similar notice in a daily newspaper, if any, published at the place of sale; and
 
c. by sending a similar notice by telecopy confirmed by mail to the Owner at least twenty (20) days before the date of sale as permitted by the laws of the Republic of Panama and other applicable law.
 
Such sale of the Vessel may be held at such place and at such time as the Mortgagee in such notices may have specified, or such sale may be adjourned by the Mortgagee from time to time by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale and without further notice or publication the Mortgagee may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned.  Such sale may be conducted without bringing the Vessel to the place designated for such sale and in such manner as the Mortgagee may deem advisable, and the Mortgagee or any holders of the Secured Obligations may become the purchaser(s) at such sale and shall have the right to a credit against the purchase price of any and all amounts due in respect of the Note, the Put Payment and/or any other Secured Obligations, as appropriate.  Any sale made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(b)(ix) shall be deemed made in a commercially reasonable manner insofar as the Owner is concerned;
 
 
17

 
 
(x) pending the sale of the Vessel (either directly or indirectly), as permitted by the laws of the Republic of Panama and other applicable law, manage, charter, lease, insure, maintain or repair the Vessel and employ, lay up, or stack the Vessel upon such terms, in such manner and for such period as the Mortgagee may reasonably deem expedient and for the purpose aforesaid the Mortgagee shall be entitled to do all acts and things incidental or conducive thereto and in particular to enter into such arrangements respecting the Vessel, their insurance, management, maintenance, operation, repair, classification and employment in all respects as if the Mortgagee were the owner of the Vessel but without any obligations to take any action with respect to the Vessel and without any responsibility for any loss thereby incurred;
 
(xi) recover from the Owner on demand any losses as may be incurred by the Mortgagee in the exercise of the power vested in the Mortgagee under this Section 7 with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date when such losses were incurred by the Mortgagee until full payment is received; and
 
(xii) recover from the Owner on demand all expenses, payments and disbursements (including documented fees and expenses of outside counsel) incurred by the Mortgagee in the exercise by it of any of the powers vested in it hereunder, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date when such expenses, payments or disbursements were incurred by it until indefeasible payment in full is received;
 
PROVIDED, ALWAYS, that any sale by the Mortgagee of the Vessel or any interest therein pursuant to this Section 7 shall operate to divest all right, title and interest of any nature whatsoever of the Owner, its successors and assigns, and all persons claiming by, through or under the Owner in or to the Vessel or such interest so sold and upon such sale the purchaser shall not be bound to see or inquire whether the power of sale of the Mortgagee has arisen in the manner herein provided and the sale shall be deemed to be within the power of the Mortgagee and the receipt by the Mortgagee of the purchase money shall effectively discharge the purchaser, who shall not be concerned with the manner of application of the proceeds of the sale or be in any way answerable therefor.  The Owner hereby irrevocably appoints the Mortgagee the true and lawful attorney of the Owner, in its name and stead, to make all necessary transfers of the whole or any part of the Vessel in connection with a sale, use or other disposition of any of the Vessel pursuant to this Section 7, and for that purpose to execute all necessary instruments of assignment and transfer.  Nevertheless, the Owner shall, if so requested by the Mortgagee, ratify and confirm any sale, assignment, transfer or delivery pursuant to this Section 7 by executing and delivering such proper bill of sale, assignment, conveyance, instrument of transfer or other instrument as may be designated by the Mortgagee in such request.
 
8. Application of Moneys.  The proceeds of any sale made either under the power of sale hereby granted to the Mortgagee or under a judgment or decree in any judicial proceeding for the foreclosure of this Mortgage, or proceeds arising from the enforcement of any remedy granted to the Mortgagee hereunder, or any net earnings arising from the management, charter or other use of the Vessel by the Mortgagee under any of the powers herein granted, or the proceeds of any and all Insurances and any claims for damages on account of the Vessel or the Owner of any nature whatsoever, and any net Earnings of the Vessel from the operation of the Vessel by the Mortgagee under any of the powers herein granted or by law provided, or any Requisition Compensation, shall be applied to the payment of the Note, the Put Payment and the other Secured Obligations.
 
 
18

 
 
9. Delay and Cure.  No delay or omission of the Mortgagee to exercise any right or power vested in it under this Mortgage shall impair such right or power or be construed as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default by the Owner hereunder or under any other Loan Document, nor shall the acceptance by the Mortgagee of any payments concerning this Mortgage from any source be deemed a waiver hereunder.  However, if at any time after an Event of Default and before the actual sale of the Vessel by the Mortgagee or before any foreclosure proceedings, the Owner cures completely and promptly all Events of Default and pays promptly all expenses, advances and damages to the Mortgagee arising from such Events of Default, with interest at the Default Rate from the date when such expenses, advances and damages were incurred until full payment is received, then the Mortgagee may accept such cure and payment and restore the Owner to its former position, but such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any rights consequent thereon.
 
10. Delegation of Mortgagee’s Powers.  The Mortgagee shall be entitled at any time and as often as may be expedient to delegate all or any of the powers and discretions vested in it by this Mortgage (including the power vested in it by virtue of Section 12) in such manner and upon such terms and to such persons as the Mortgagee in its absolute discretion may think fit.
 
11. Owner’s Indemnity.  Without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of the Mortgagee arising under this Mortgage, the Owner hereby agrees and undertakes to indemnify the Mortgagee, and its successors and permitted assigns, from and against any and all obligations and liabilities whatsoever and whensoever incurred by the Mortgagee in good faith in the enforcement of the Mortgagee’s rights hereunder; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to the Mortgagee, be available to the extent that such obligations and liabilities are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted solely from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful conduct of the Mortgagee.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Mortgagee shall not be responsible for any loss or damage caused as a result of the exercise, or failure to do so, of any rights and/or remedies provided in this Mortgage (except to the extent such loss or damage are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted solely from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Mortgagee).
 
12. Mortgagee Appointed Attorney-in-Fact; Authority to Act.
 
(a) The Owner hereby irrevocably appoints the Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest) for the duration of the term hereof, with full power to do in the name of the Owner or in the Mortgagee’s own name following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all acts that the Owner, or its successors or assigns, could do in relation to the Vessel, including, without limitation, to file any claims or to take any action or institute any proceed­ings that the Mortgagee may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises to demand, collect, receive, compromise, settle and sue for (insofar as the Mortgagee lawfully may), all Earnings of the Vessel and all amounts due from underwriters under the Insurances as payment for losses or as return of premiums or otherwise, salvage awards and recoveries, in general average or otherwise, and all other sums due or to become due to the Owner or with respect to the Vessel, and to make, give and execute in the name of the Owner acquittance, receipts, releases, or other discharges for the same, whether under seal or otherwise, to take possession of, sell or otherwise dispose of or manage or employ the Vessel, to execute and deliver charters and bills of sale for the Vessel, and to endorse and accept in the name of the Owner all checks, notes, drafts, warrants, agreements and all other instruments in writing with respect to the foregoing, to take any action and execute any instruments, which the Mortgagee may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof.
 
(b) The exercise by or on behalf of the Mortgagee of the power granted in this Section 11 shall not require any person dealing with the Mortgagee to conduct any inquiry as to whether any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, nor shall such person be in any way affected by notice that any Event of Default has not occurred nor is continuing, and the exercise by the Mortgagee of such power shall, with regard to such person only, be conclusive evidence of the Mortgagee’s right to exercise the same.
 
 
19

 
 
13. Arrest by a Third Party.  If the Vessel shall be arrested or detained by a marshal or other officer of any court of law, equity or admiralty jurisdiction in any country of the world or by any government or other authority, and the Vessel shall not be released from arrest or detention within fifteen (15) days from the date of arrest or detention, the Owner hereby authorizes the Mortgagee, in the name of the Owner, to apply for and receive possession of and to take possession of the Vessel with all of the rights and powers that the Owner might have, possess and exercise in any such event.  This authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.
 
14. Jurisdiction.  The Mortgagee shall have the right to commence proceedings in the courts of any country having jurisdiction over the Vessel. In particular, the Mortgagee shall have the right to arrest and take action against the Vessel at whatever place or places the Vessel shall be found lying before such courts or other competent judicial authority having jurisdiction over the Vessel.  The Owner agrees that for the purpose of proceedings against the Vessel, any writ, notice, judgment or other legal process or documents may be served upon the Master of the Vessel (or upon anyone acting as the Master) and that such service shall be deemed good service on the Owner for all purposes.
 
15. Concerning the Mortgagee.  (a) The Mortgagee shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking action, in accordance with this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. The Mortgagee may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith.  The Mortgagee may assign its rights under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and any other rights hereto and thereto without the consent of the Owner.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Mortgagee by a successor Mortgagee, that successor Mortgagee shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the assigning Mortgagee under this Mortgage, and the assigning Mortgagee shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Mortgage.  After any assigning Mortgagee’s resignation, the provisions of Article V of the Purchase Agreement and any comparable provisions in this Mortgage shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Mortgage while it was the Mortgagee.  The Owner shall execute and deliver such amendments or supplements to this Mortgage in such form and substance as may be reasonably necessary in the opinion of its counsel to reflect the appointment of the successor Mortgagee, and the reasonably documented, out-of-pocket expenses relating to the foregoing shall become an obligation secured by this Mortgage.

16. Severability of Provisions.  Any provision hereof which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.  In the event that it should transpire that by reason of any law or regulation, or by reason of a ruling of any court, or by any other reason whatsoever, the mortgage herein contained is either wholly or partly defective, the Owner hereby undertakes to furnish the Mortgagee with an alternative mortgage or alternative security and/or to do all such other acts as, in the reasonable opinion of the Mortgagee, shall be required in order to ensure and give effect to the full intent of this Mortgage.
 
17. Further Assurance.

18. Cumulative Remedies. Each and every power and remedy in this Mortgage specifically given to the Mortgagee shall be in addition to every other power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, admiralty, or by statute, and each and every power and remedy, whether specifically in this Mortgage given or otherwise existing, may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, and the exercise or the commencement of the exercise of any such power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other power or remedy under this Mortgage.
 
19. Amount of Mortgage.  The maximum principal amount secured by this Mortgage at any time is Two Million Nine Hundred Fifty-Eight Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Three and 30/100 United States Dollars (US$2,958,333.30) (which is the maximum principal amount that may be outstanding at any time under the Note plus the amount of the Put Payment (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) due pursuant to the Purchase Agreement).  In addition to principal, this Mortgage also secures interest, fees, costs and expenses of collection and other sums which are deemed to be secured by the relevant laws of the Republic of Panama as provided in this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.  The principal amount plus all outstanding interest due and owing under the Note shall be paid in full on the Maturity Date (the earlier of November 9, 2012 and the date all obligations and indebtedness under the Note and the other Loan Documents are accelerated).
 
 
21

 
 
20. Preferred Status.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, it is intended that nothing herein shall waive the priority status of this Mortgage under the Panamanian Maritime Laws or under the corresponding provisions of any other jurisdiction in which it is sought to be enforced and that, if any provision or portion of this Mortgage shall be construed to waive its preferred status, then such provision or portion to such extent shall be void and of no effect.
 
21. Notices.  Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Purchase Agreement, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be given in the manner and become effective as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, as to the Owner, addressed to it at the address of the Owner (identified as the Shipowner in the Purchase Agreement), set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and as to the Mortgagee, addressed to it at the address of the Mortgagee (identified as the Investor in the Purchase Agreement) set forth in the Purchase Agreement, or in each case at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 20.
 
22. Parties Bound.  All the covenants, promises, stipulations and agreements of the Owner and all the rights and remedies of the Mortgagee contained in this Mortgage shall bind the Owner, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Mortgagee, its successors and permitted assigns, whether or not so expressed.
 
23. Expenses.  The Owner shall reimburse the Mortgagee for all reasonably documented, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, which the Mortgagee may from time to time incur, lay out or expend, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate in insuring the Vessel, discharging Liens, paying taxes, dues, assessments, govern­mental charges, fines and penalties that may be lawfully imposed, making repairs or in performing any other duty that the Owner is obligated to perform hereunder, but otherwise fails to perform.  The obligation to reimburse the Mortgagee for such costs and expenses shall be a Secured Obligation due from the Owner, secured by this Mortgage, and shall be payable by the Owner on demand.  The Mortgagee, though privileged so to do, shall be under no obligation to make any such expenditures, nor shall the making thereof relieve the Owner of any default in that respect.
 
24. Rights of Owner.  Unless and until one or more Events of Default shall have occurred under any of the Loan Documents shall have occurred and be continuing and the Mortgagee shall have exercised any of its remedies under this Mortgage, the Owner shall (a) be permitted to retain possession and use of the Vessel, and to lease, charter, sublease or subcharter the Vessel and take any other actions in respect of the Vessel as and to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents, and (b) have the right, from time to time, in its discretion, and without application to the Mortgagee, and without obtaining a release thereof by the Mortgagee, to dispose of, free from the Lien hereof, any engines, boilers, machinery, bowsprits, masts, spars, rigging, boats, anchors, cables, chains, tackle, apparel, furniture, fittings, tools, pumps or equipment or any other appurtenances of the Vessel that are no longer useful, necessary, profitable or advantageous in the operation of the Vessel, after first or simultaneously replacing the same with new engines, boilers, machinery, bowsprits, masts, spars, rigging, boats, anchors, cables, chains, tackle, apparel, furniture, fittings, tools, pumps or equipment, or other appurtenances of substantially equal value as reasonably determined by the Owner, which shall forthwith become subject to the Lien of this Mortgage.
 
 
22

 
 
25. Waiver; Amendment.  No amendment, modification, supplement, termination or waiver of or to any provision hereof, nor consent to any departure by the Owner therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Mortgagee.  Any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by the Owner from the terms of any provision hereof in each case shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.  Except where notice is specifically required by this Mortgage or any other document evidencing Secured Obligations, no notice to or demand on the Owner in any case shall entitle the Owner to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
 
26. Governing Law.  This Mortgage shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Republic of Panama.
 
27. Headings.  Clause and Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Mortgage and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Mortgage.
