NOTE 16 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Navios Partners is involved in various disputes and arbitration proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Provisions have been recognized in the financial statements for all such proceedings where Navios Partners believes that a liability may be probable, and for which the amounts are reasonably estimable, based upon facts known at the date the financial statements were prepared.

Management believes, the ultimate disposition of these matters will be immaterial to Navios Partners' financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In January 2011, Korea Line Corporation (“KLC”) which is the charterer of the Navios Melodia filed for receivership. The charter contract was affirmed and will be performed by KLC on its original terms, provided that during an interim suspension period the sub-charterer pays Navios Partners directly.

The future minimum commitments for the 12-month periods ended December 31, of Navios Partners under its charter-in contracts, net of commissions, are as follows:

2013	$	9,864
2014		6,594
