 Re: Initial Public Offering 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 The undersigned shareholder, officer and/or director of Oceanaut, Inc., a Marshall Islands corporation (the “Company”), in consideration
of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Maxim Group LLC (the “Underwriters”) agreeing to underwrite an initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Company’s units (“Units”), each comprised of one share of the
Company’s common stock, par value $.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and one warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock (“Warrant”), hereby agrees as follows (certain capitalized terms used herein are
defined in Schedule 1 hereto): 
 1. If the Company solicits approval of its shareholders of a Business Combination, the undersigned
shall vote (i) all Founder Shares owned by such person in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of the IPO Shares and (ii) any shares of Common Stock acquired in the IPO or following the IPO in favor of the Business
Combination. 
 2. If a Transaction Failure occurs, the undersigned shall take all reasonable actions within such person’s power to
cause (i) the Trust Account to be liquidated and distributed to the holders of the IPO Shares (and to Excel Maritime Carriers Ltd. and its permitted transferees with respect to 625,000 shares of Common Stock included in the units purchased in
the private placement to occur immediately prior to the IPO) as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, no later than the Termination Date, and (ii) the Company to dissolve and liquidate as soon as practicable, including, without
limitation, by voting all of the shares of Common Stock owned by the undersigned in favor of the Company’s dissolution and liquidation. The undersigned hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any
liquidating distributions by the Company and hereby further waives any claim the undersigned may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any contracts or agreements with the Company and agrees to not seek recourse against the Trust
Account for any reason whatsoever. The undersigned hereby agrees that the Company shall be entitled to a reimbursement from the undersigned for any distribution of the Trust Account received by the undersigned in respect of such person’s
Founder Shares. 









 3. In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple affiliations, the
undersigned agrees to present to the Company for its consideration, prior to the undersigned’s exploitation of that opportunity in any way or the presentation to any other person or entity, any suitable opportunity to acquire all or
substantially all of the outstanding equity securities of, or otherwise acquire (through merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase or other business combination) one or more vessels or operating businesses in the shipping
industry until the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination, the distribution of the Trust Account or until such time as the undersigned ceases to be an officer or director of the Company; provided, however, that the
presentation of such opportunities to the Company shall in each case be subject to the terms of the Business Opportunity Right of First Refusal Agreement to be entered into by and between the Company and Excel Maritime Carriers Ltd. and any other
pre-existing fiduciary and/or contractual obligations the undersigned might have under applicable law. 
 4. The undersigned agrees that,
commencing on the Effective Date and extending until the earlier to occur of the consummation of a Business Combination by the Company or a liquidation of the Company, the undersigned shall not become affiliated as an officer, director or
stockholder of a blank check or blind pool company (other than the Company) operating in or intending to acquire a business in the shipping industry. The undersigned hereby agrees and acknowledges that (i) each of the Underwriters and the
Company would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by the undersigned of any of his or her obligations under this paragraph 4; (ii) monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach; and (iii) the
non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy such party may have, in the event of such breach. 
 5. The undersigned hereby waives his or her right to exercise conversion rights with respect to any shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned or to be owned by the undersigned, directly or indirectly, and agrees that he or she will
not seek conversion with respect to such shares in connection with any vote to approve a Business Combination. 
 6. The undersigned hereby
agrees to not propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to extend the period of time in which the Company must consummate a Business Combination prior to its liquidation. Should such a proposal be put
before shareholders other than through actions by the undersigned, the undersigned hereby agrees to vote against such proposal. This paragraph may not be modified or amended under any circumstances. 
 7. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not consummate any Business Combination which involves a company that is affiliated with
any of the Insiders or their affiliates, unless the Company obtains an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. that the business combination is fair to the
Company’s shareholders from a financial perspective and the Company’s disinterested independent directors negotiate with such affiliated company on behalf of the Company and take such other steps in connection with any such proposal as
they deem advisable, including retention of independent advisors. 
 8. Neither the undersigned, any member of the Immediate Family of the
undersigned, nor any affiliate of the undersigned (“Affiliate”) will be entitled to receive and will not accept any compensation for services rendered to the Company prior to, or in connection with, the consummation of the Business
Combination, except that, (i) commencing on the Effective Date, Excel Maritime Carriers Ltd. (“Related Party”), shall be allowed to charge the Company up to $7,500.00 per month, representing an allocable share of Related
Party’s overhead, to compensate it for the Company’s use of Related Party’s offices, utilities and personnel, and (ii) Related Party shall be entitled to compensation for any other arrangement as may be disclosed in the
Registration Statement. The undersigned shall also be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with seeking and consummating a Business Combination; provided, that such
reimbursements have been approved by the Company’s audit committee (which shall be comprised solely of independent directors).

 9. The undersigned agrees that none of the undersigned, any member of the Immediate Family of the

the event the undersigned, any member of the Immediate Family of the undersigned or any Affiliate of the undersigned originates a Business Combination. 
 10. The undersigned will escrow his or her Founder Shares, as specified in the Stock Escrow Agreement, which the Company will enter into with the undersigned and an escrow agent acceptable to the Company, for
the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the Business Combination Date or (ii) the date on which the Company gives the escrow agent notice that the Company is being liquidated,
at which time the escrow agent will destroy the shares.
