COMMITMENTS AND RIGHTS OF THE LENDER. 2.1. Funding of the IP Litigation. The Lender shall make funds available to FastShip, or make payment directly to vendors, at the sole discretion of the Manager of FastShip in the amounts set forth in the IP Litigation Budget, which funds shall be used to pay the costs, fees and other expenses incurred by FastShip in the prosecution of the IP Litigation, in accordance with the Plan and Operating Agreement. Funding of the Liquidating Trust. The Lender shall make funds available to the Liquidating Trust in the amounts set forth in the Liquidating Trust Budget, which such funds shall be used to pay the costs, fees and other expenses incurred by the Liquidating Trust in the liquidation and distribution of the Liquidating Trust Assets and as necessary to pay obligations owed by the Trust under the Consulting Agreements, in accordance with the Plan and Liquidating Trust Agreement. Limitations on Commitment. The Lenders commitments herein shall not be construed to obligate Lender to fund amounts in addition to or in excess of those set forth in the Budgets. In no event shall Lenders commitments herein exceed $1.6 million in the aggregate (not including any funds provided to the Debtors or any of them in the Chapter 11 cases) unless otherwise agreed to by the Lender. Availability of Funds. Collectively, the Budgets shall set forth uses for $1.6 million Dollars in funding by the Lender for either the administration of the Litigation Trust or the prosecution of the IP Litigation, and as such, each is a guidepost, not an absolute, except to the extent that the maximum to be funded is $1.6 Million dollars, except upon the sole discretion of the Lender to fund more, if additional funds above $1.6 million are necessary. The Lender and the Manager of FastShip shall agree on the use of any funds remaining from Lender's funding of the Chapter 11 Cases. Such remaining funds shall not count toward any "additional" funding as set forth below. On or before the last Business Day of each month, the Liquidating Trustee will communicate with the Lender the amount of funds on hand at the end of the month and the amount of additional funds necessary for the payment of existing or anticipated costs and expenses for the next month (the Liquidating Trustee will provide to the Lender copies of invoices, bills or otherwise inform the Lender of the exact amount and nature of the cost or expense. Absent valid objection by the Lender, the Lender shall then make available by wire transfer into the specific account requested by the Liquidating Trustee, the sums requested by the third Business Day of the following month. Any funds budgeted for a

2.2.

2.2.1.

2.2.2.

particular time period not used within that time period may carry forward for application to a future time period. If expenses in a particular category exceed the amount budgeted for the time period in which such fee or expense was incurred, the Lender shall make funds available to pay such fee or expense, provided payment thereof does cause the aggregate amount funded to exceed $1.6 million dollars. 2.3. Payments. Except in the event a Notice of Termination is sent by the Lender, Lender shall be entitled to repayment of the amounts funded pursuant to this Agreement only through distribution of the IP Litigation Proceeds, as set forth herein. Proceeds of FastShip. Assuming Lender funds up to $1,600,000 ($2,000,000, including the amount funded by Lender in the Chapter 11 Cases), it shall be entitled to receive 50% of the IP Litigation proceeds remaining after the payment of IP Litigation Counsel's contingent fee of 12.5% of the total gross proceeds (this is 43.75% of the gross proceeds). This means that Lender, if it funds up to $1,600,000 ($2,000,000 including the funding of the Chapter 11 Cases), it shall receive 43.75% of the gross proceeds of the IP Litigation. If, at the request of the Manager of FastShip, the Lender provides FastShip with funding in excess of $2,000,000 (including the funding in the Chapter 11 Cases), the Lender shall be entitled to receive proportionally an additional 1% for each $100,000 greater than $2,000,000 funded by the Lender, with a cap of 60% of the gross proceeds of the IP Litigation payable to the Lender, after payment of IP Litigation Counsels contingency fee. In other words, if the Lender provides $2,150,000 in total funding, including the funding of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Lender will receive an additional 1.5% of the gross proceeds from the IP Litigation or 45.25% of the gross proceeds of the IP Litigation. Any funds payable to the Lender from the proceeds of the IP Litigation shall be payable by FastShip upon the dissolution of FastShip, from the IP Litigation proceeds held by FastShip.
