<div><font style="font-face: Times New Roman" size="2" color="#000000"><b></b>Deferred voyage revenue primarily reflects charter-out amounts collected on voyages that have not yet been completed. In January 2009, Navios Partners and its counterparty to the Navios Hope charter party mutually agreed for a lump sum amount of approximately $30,443, of which Navios Partners received net of expenses in the amount of $29,589 in February 2009. Under a new charter agreement, the balance of the aggregate value of the original contract is allocated to the period until its original expiration. The amount of $30,443 has been recognized as deferred revenue and is being amortized over the entire term of the vessel's contract through August 2013. </font></div>
