To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates designated as "Pass Through Certificates, Series 1997-C" (herein called the "Certificates"). This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions, and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Certificateholder is bound. The property of the Trust includes certain Secured Notes (the "Trust Property"). Each issue of the Secured Notes is issued in respect of a Vessel leased to the Company all of whose obligations are guaranteed by the Guarantor. 2 The Certificates represent fractional undivided interests in the Trust and the Trust Property, and have no rights, benefits or interest in respect of any other separate trust established pursuant to the terms of the Basic Agreement for any other series of certificates issued pursuant thereto. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, from funds then available to the Trustee, there will be distributed on each January 2 and July 2 (a "Regular Distribution Date"), commencing on July 2, 2000, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the applicable Regular Distribution Date, an amount in respect of the Scheduled Payments on the Secured Notes due on such Regular Distribution Date, the receipt of which has been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of such Scheduled Payments.

The Trustee shall mail notice of each Special Payment and the Special Distribution Date therefor to the Certificateholder of this Certificate. Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto, without the presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after notice mailed by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency of the Trustee specified in such notice. The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an obligation guaranteed by, or an interest in, the Guarantor, the Company or the Trustee or any affiliate thereof. The Certificates are limited in right of payment, all as more specifically set forth herein on the face hereof and in the Agreement. All payments or distributions made to Certificateholders under the Agreement shall be made only from the Trust Property and only to the extent that the Trustee shall have sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Property to make such payments in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Each Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the income and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent available for distribution to such Certificateholder as provided in the Agreement.

A copy of the Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Trustee, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Trustee, by any Certificateholder upon request.

Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Certificateholder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of the Certificates. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Registrar, or by any successor Registrar, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Certificateholder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust, as requested by the Certificateholder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Guarantor, the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and any agent of the Trustee or the Registrar may treat the person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Register as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Guarantor, the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 4 The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust Property.
