Purchaser acknowledges that Issuer and its affiliates may now or at any other time have material confidential information concerning the business and condition (financial or otherwise) of Issuer or that could affect the value of the Issued Shares and that this information has not been, and may not be in the future, made available to Purchaser. Purchaser understands the disadvantage to which it may be subject on account of the disparity of information as among the Parties and has determined to enter into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding its lack of knowledge of any such material confidential information not disclosed to or known by Purchaser. Purchaser hereby releases and forever discharges Issuer and its affiliates, their respective officers, directors, partners, employees and agents, and their respective successors and assigns, from any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, expenses or liabilities, of any nature whatsoever, arising from or connected to any failure to disclose to Purchaser any information concerning Issuer, provided that such release shall not apply in the case of fraud or willful misconduct. Purchaser understands and agrees that the issuance of the Issued Shares to Purchaser hereunder is conditioned on the foregoing acknowledgements and release.

 

(f)                                   Purchaser has such knowledge, experience and skill in evaluating and investing in securities, based on actual participation in financial, investment and business matters, so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Issued Shares and has such knowledge, experience and skill in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in Issuer and the suitability of the Issued Shares as an investment and can bear the economic risk of an investment in the Issued Shares. No guarantees have been made or can be made with respect to the future value, if any, of the Issued Shares, or the profitability or success of Issuer’s business.

 

(g)                                  Purchaser is an Eligible Shareholder.

 

(h)                                 Purchaser has made an independent decision to purchase the Issued Shares from Issuer based on the information concerning the business and condition (financial or otherwise) of Issuer available to Purchaser, which it has determined is adequate for that

purpose. Purchaser acknowledges that it has had access to all information regarding the business and condition (financial or otherwise) of Issuer, including pursuant to any rights it may have under the Shareholders’ Agreement, that it reasonably considers important in making its decision to purchase the Issued Shares, and that it has had ample opportunity to ask questions of the appropriate persons concerning such matters. Purchaser acknowledges that Issuer has not given any investment advice or rendered any opinion to Purchaser as to whether the purchase of the Issued Shares is prudent or suitable.

 

(i)                                     Purchaser is acquiring the Issued Shares for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, with the present intention of holding such securities for purposes of investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and Purchaser has no intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing such securities in violation of the federal securities laws or any applicable state securities laws.

(k)                                 Purchaser understands that the Issued Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. Purchaser understands that the Issued Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Purchaser must hold the Issued Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Purchaser acknowledges that Issuer has no obligation to register or qualify the Issued Shares for resale. Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Issued Shares, and on requirements relating to Issuer which are outside of Purchaser’s control, and which Issuer is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy. Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Issued Shares, and that Issuer has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Issued Shares.

The rights and remedies provided pursuant to this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which either Party otherwise may have at law or in equity.

 

(g)           This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor either Party’s rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by such Party without the prior written consent of the other Party.

COMMON STOCK SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

THIS COMMON STOCK SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 1st day of November, 2012 by and among General Maritime Corporation, a Marshall Islands corporation (the “Company”), OCM Marine Holdings TP, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“Holdings”), and the investors listed on Exhibit A attached to this Agreement (together the “Purchaser”). Each of the Company, Holdings and Purchaser is referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as, the “Parties.”

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, Purchaser wishes to make, in accordance with the terms hereof, a commitment to purchase, pursuant to one or more transactions, $30,000,000 of Company Shares (defined below);

 

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to issue and sell to Purchaser Company Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company and Purchaser are entering into the Letter Agreement (defined below) concurrent with entry into this Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Purchase and Sale of Company Shares.

 

1.1                               Capital Contribution Commitment.

 

(a)                                 On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Purchaser shall make one or more cash contributions (each, a “Capital Contribution”) in exchange for Company Shares, in an aggregate amount equal to $30,000,000 (the “Commitment Amount”), which Commitment Amount shall be allocated as set forth on Exhibit A hereto, by contributing in installments when and as called by Holdings (at the discretion of Holdings) at any time or from time to time following the date hereof up to the date that is eighteen (18) months following the date hereof (the “Commitment Conclusion Date”), in each case, upon at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice (in each case, a “Capital Call Notice”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Holdings; provided that such notice requirement shall be deemed waived following payment by Purchaser of the Capital Contribution required by any such Capital Call Notice. Each Capital Call Notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Capital Contribution required to be made by Purchaser in respect of such Capital Call Notice (which shall not exceed the excess of Purchaser’s commitment over the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions theretofore made by Purchaser in respect thereof), along with the bank account of the Company to which the Capital Contribution shall be funded by Purchaser, (ii) the number of shares of common stock of the Company (“Company Shares”) to be issued in respect of such Capital Contribution, and (iii) the date on which the consummation of such Capital Contribution (each, a “Closing”) shall take place. The Purchaser shall not be required to make a Capital Contribution (x) more than once in any three-month period or (y) in an installment of less

 

 

than $1,000,000. Nothing herein shall require the Purchaser to purchase Company Shares in excess of the Commitment Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be entitled to cause Purchaser to make any cash contribution in exchange for Company Shares; any capital calls may be made only by Holdings.

 

(b)                                 At each Closing, pursuant to the applicable Capital Call Notice, the Company shall issue and sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, the Company Shares, with an agreed upon price of $27.67 per Company Share (the “Purchase Price”), with the number of Company Shares to be issued in respect of each Capital Contribution being equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the applicable Capital Contribution by the Purchase Price; provided, however, that in the event that prior to any of the Closings the Company issues any options to purchase Common Shares (or other equity awards) with an exercise price that is less than $27.67 per Company Share, then the Purchase Price shall be equal to such exercise price. In connection with each Capital Contribution, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver to Purchaser a certificate representing the Company Shares issued in respect of such Capital Contribution.

 

(c)                                  Each purchase and sale of Company Shares in respect of a Capital Call Notice shall take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures on the date of the applicable Closing, provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be obligated to purchase Company Shares at such Closing unless all of the conditions in Section 6 have been satisfied or waived by Purchaser.

 

1.2                               Purchase Right Apportionment. Purchaser shall be entitled to apportion its right and obligation to purchase Company Shares in such proportions as it deems appropriate, among (a) itself and (b) any other Person reasonably acceptable to the Company, except any Person that engages in a business competitive with any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ businesses (a “Competitor”) (each, a “Purchaser Assignee”); provided that, as a condition precedent to any such apportionment to a Purchaser Assignee, each Purchaser Assignee acknowledges in writing to the Company that such Purchaser Assignee is bound by the provisions of this Agreement with respect to such Company Shares so acquired to the same extent as if such Company Shares were acquired by Purchaser and agrees to be bound by each of the obligations of Purchaser or each other Purchaser Assignee, as applicable, hereunder, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the obligations contained in Section 1 and Section 2 hereof, and each document, agreement or instrument contemplated hereunder and thereunder. No such apportionment by Purchaser shall (i) relieve Purchaser or any other Purchaser Assignee, as applicable, of any of Purchaser’s or any other Purchaser Assignee’s obligations in respect of any Capital Call Notice or of any other obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) confer upon any Purchaser Assignee any rights to indemnification under Section 8.1(a) or any other rights of Purchaser under this Agreement (other than such right to purchase Company Shares) or the Letter Agreement.

 

1.3                               Purchaser Investment Right. On the earlier of (i) the Commitment Conclusion Date, or (ii) immediately prior to the occurrence of a Sale Transaction, if the Company has not drawn down the entire Commitment Amount from the Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.1, then the Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase Company Shares, at the Purchase Price, up to its Commitment Amount, and shall exercise such right by

 

2

 

delivering written notice to the Company in accordance with Section 8.6 no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Commitment Conclusion Date or the date of the consummation of the Sale Transaction, and in such case, the Closing for the purchase and sale of such Company Shares shall occur within five (5) Business Days after delivery of notice by Purchaser in accordance with this Section 1.3. The Company shall not consummate a Sale Transaction without notifying Purchaser in accordance with Section 8.6 at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the consummation thereof, so that Purchaser may exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 1.3. If the Company does not approve any apportionment by the Purchaser pursuant to clause (b) of the first sentence of Section 1.2, the Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase, by delivering written notice to the Company on a date within five (5) days following the Company’s delivery to the Purchaser of written notification of such disapproval, Company Shares at the Purchase Price up to the amount it proposed to apportion pursuant to such clause (b); provided, however, that no such purchase of the Company Shares pursuant to this sentence shall be consummated within ninety (90) days following the date of this Agreement. Such written notice by the Purchaser shall be delivered in accordance with Section 8.6, and the Closing for the purchase and sale of such Company Shares shall occur within five (5) Business Days after delivery of such notice by the Purchaser in accordance with this Section 1.3.

 

1.4                               Equity Documents. At the first Closing, Purchaser shall execute and deliver to the Company a joinder agreement to the Shareholders’ Agreement and the Registration Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Each Purchaser Assignee shall, concurrent with such Purchaser Assignee’s purchase of any Company Shares hereunder, execute and deliver to the Company a joinder agreement to the Shareholders’ Agreement and the Registration Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Shareholders’ Agreement or the Restated Certificate, except in connection with an Approved Sale (as defined in the Shareholders’ Agreement, Purchaser and each Purchaser Assignee shall not, and each of their respective transferees and any subsequent transferees shall not, directly or indirectly, transfer, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of any interest in any Company Shares to any Competitor, and each transferee of any Company Shares shall, concurrent with and as a condition precedent to, any transfer of Company Shares shall execute and deliver to the Company a joinder agreement to this Section 1.4 of this Agreement.

The Company believes that it did not qualify as a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) as defined in Section 1297(a) of the Code for its most recently completed taxable year or for any prior taxable year and, based on the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ current projected income, assets and activities, the Company has a reasonable expectation for it not to be classified as a PFIC for the current taxable year.

The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Company Shares for resale except as set forth in the Registration Agreement. The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Company Shares, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

(g)                                  If any action, proceeding or investigation is commenced, as to which any Indemnified Party proposes to demand such indemnification, it shall notify the Company promptly; provided, however, that any failure by such Indemnified Party to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from its obligations hereunder except to the extent the Company is prejudiced thereby. The Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action, proceeding or investigation, including the employment of counsel and the payment of all fees and expenses. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in connection with any such action, proceeding or investigation and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party, unless  (A) the Company has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel as provided herein, or (B) an action, proceeding, or investigation has been commenced against both the Indemnified Party and the Company and/or and representation of both the Indemnified Party and the Company by the same counsel would be inappropriate because of actual conflicts of interest between the parties. In the case of any circumstance described in clauses (A) or (B) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel (which counsel shall be selected by the holders of a majority of the Shares); provided, however, that the Company shall not in any event be required to pay the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (and, if deemed necessary by such separate counsel, appropriate local counsel who shall report to such separate counsel) for all Indemnified Parties. Unless each Indemnified Party that is party to such claim is fully and unconditionally released from liability with respect to such claim, each Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party before settling, or offering or proposing to settle, or compromising or discharging any third party or governmental claim against the Indemnified Party, with consent shall not unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall have no indemnification obligations with respect to any claim which is settled by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

 

8.2                               Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

 

23

 

8.3                               Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law.

 

8.4                               Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile signature and in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

8.6                               Notices. All notices and other communications given or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earlier of actual receipt or: (a) personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent, if sent by electronic mail or facsimile during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not sent during normal business hours, then on the recipient’s next business day, (c) four (4) Business Days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) business day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, freight prepaid, specifying next business day delivery, with written verification of receipt, in each case to the Parties at the following addresses and facsimile numbers:.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties hereby agree that in the event the Company or Holdings, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, violates any provision of this Agreement, the remedies at law available to Purchaser, on the one hand, or the Company or Holdings, on the other hand, may be inadequate. In such event, each Party shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies it may have, to specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce or prevent any violations by the other applicable Parties hereto.

 

8.15                        Dispute Resolution. Any unresolved controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, except as set forth in Section 8.14 or otherwise in this Agreement, shall be submitted to arbitration by one arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, and if no agreement can be reached within thirty (30) days after names of potential arbitrators have been proposed by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), then by one arbitrator having reasonable experience in corporate finance transactions of the type provided for in this Agreement and who is chosen by the AAA. The arbitration shall take place in New York, New York, in accordance with the AAA rules then in effect, and judgment upon any award rendered in such arbitration will be binding and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

In entering into this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that it has relied solely on such independent investigation and not on any factual representations of the Company, any of its Affiliates or any of their representatives (other than those expressly set forth in the Agreement), and that the Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 3, the Company and its Affiliates and representatives do not make any representation or warranty, express or implied, at law or in equity, in respect of any of the assets, liabilities, operations, cash flows or future financial condition of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or in respect of the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries furnished or made available to the Purchaser and its representatives.

 

8.17                        No Commitment for Additional Financing.

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to refuse or decline to participate in any other financing of or investment in the Company, and shall have no obligation to assist or cooperate with the Company in obtaining any financing, investment or other assistance.

(e)                                  the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement or Schedules shall refer to this Agreement and its Schedules as a whole and not to any particular provision hereof or thereof, as the case may be.

Re:                             Common Stock of General Maritime Corporation 

 

Gentlemen:

 

Reference is made to (i) the Shareholders’ Agreement of General Maritime Corporation, a Marshall Islands corporation (the “Company”), dated as of May 17, 2012, by and among the Company and certain shareholders of the Company, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Shareholders’ Agreement, dated as of September 13, 2012 (as further amended from time to time, the “Shareholders’ Agreement”), and (ii) the Amended and Restated Registration Agreement of the Company, dated as of November 1, 2012, by and among the Company and certain shareholders of the Company from time to time (as amended from time to time, the “Registration Agreement”).

 

On the date hereof, the investors listed on the signature page to this letter agreement (collectively, “BlueMountain”) have committed to invest, pursuant to one or more transactions, an aggregate amount of $30,000,000 (the “Commitment Amount”) in exchange for shares of common stock of the Company (“Acquired GMR Stock”), pursuant to a Common Stock Subscription Agreement by and among BlueMountain, OCM Marine Holdings TP, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“Holdings”), and the Company, dated as of the date hereof (the “Subscription Agreement”). In connection therewith, the parties hereto have agreed that BlueMountain shall be granted certain rights on the terms, and subject to the

 

 

conditions, set forth below, and that, solely with respect to Sections 8, 9 and 12, Holdings shall be granted certain rights on the terms, and subject to the conditions, described therein.

 

From and after the date hereof, for so long as BlueMountain holds at least 542,104 shares of Acquired GMR Stock (the “Ownership Threshold”) and BlueMountain and each Purchaser Assignee have not breached Section 1 of the Subscription Agreement, the Ownership Threshold shall be calculated based on the sum of (i) the number of shares of Acquired GMR Stock owned by BlueMountain and (ii) the number of shares of Acquired GMR Stock that BlueMountain will own upon contributing its remaining undrawn Commitment Amount under the Subscription Agreement:

 

1.                                      Preemptive Rights. In addition to the rights set forth in Section 3 of the Shareholders’ Agreement, BlueMountain shall have the following rights:

 

(A)                               Offering. Except for issuances of Exempt Securities (as defined below) and for securities with respect to which BlueMountain would have preemptive rights in accordance with Section 3 of the Shareholders’ Agreement, if the Company authorizes the issuance or sale of (i) any Equity Securities (as defined below) to any Person (as defined below) or (ii) any indebtedness for borrowed money to Holdings or any of its Affiliates (as defined below), the Company shall, through the delivery of a Pre-Emptive Right Notice (as defined below), offer to sell to BlueMountain a portion of such Equity Securities or indebtedness equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the aggregate number of shares of Acquired GMR Stock held by BlueMountain, by (2) the aggregate number of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (BlueMountain’s “Proportional Share”). A “Pre-Emptive Right Notice” shall mean a written notice from the Company describing in reasonable detail the Equity Securities or indebtedness being offered, the purchase price thereof, the payment terms and BlueMountain’s Proportional Share. BlueMountain shall be entitled to purchase such Equity Securities or indebtedness at the same price and on other terms and conditions no less favorable in the aggregate than the terms on which such Equity Securities or indebtedness proposed to be issued or sold by the Company; provided that if any prospective purchaser is required to also purchase other securities or indebtedness of the Company in connection with the proposed offering, then BlueMountain shall also be required to purchase such other securities or indebtedness of the same type (at the same price and on the same other economic terms and conditions and in the same relative amounts) that such prospective purchaser(s) are required to purchase; provided  further, that if (x) the Company authorizes the issuance or sale of any Equity Securities to the Oaktree Group in exchange for indebtedness of the Company that was not by its terms exchangeable, convertible or exercisable for Equity Securities and (y) such exchange is consummated other than in connection with a broader restructuring of the Company’s indebtedness (i.e., the exchange is solely of indebtedness held by the Oaktree Group, and there is not a concurrent exchange of indebtedness (of the same or different class of indebtedness) held by any other lenders to the Company), then: (A) in the case of indebtedness held by any of the funds within the Oaktree Group that are part of the “Control Investing” strategy, BlueMountain shall be permitted to purchase its Proportional Share of such Equity Securities using cash, and the cash purchase price for such Equity Securities shall be

 

2

 

determined based on the price that the Oaktree Group paid for the indebtedness (plus the accrued but unpaid interest thereon) exchanged by the Oaktree Group in such offering; and (B) in the case of indebtedness held as of the date of this Agreement by any other fund within the Oaktree Group, BlueMountain shall be permitted to purchase its Proportional Share of such Equity Securities using cash, and the cash purchase price for such Equity Securities shall be determined based on a price equal to 90% of the face value of such indebtedness (plus the accrued but unpaid interest thereon) exchanged by the Oaktree Group in such offering. The purchase price for all securities or indebtedness offered to BlueMountain hereunder shall be payable in cash, and in order to exercise its purchase rights hereunder, BlueMountain must purchase the securities or indebtedness offered to BlueMountain no later than on the date proposed to be issued by the Company, provided that the date on which the Company proposes to issue such securities or indebtedness is no sooner than the eleventh day after the receipt by BlueMountain of a Pre-Emptive Right Notice. BlueMountain, in exercising its purchase rights pursuant to this Section 1(A), shall be required to take all necessary or desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the purchase transactions contemplated by this Section 1 as requested by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), including the execution of all agreements, documents and instruments in connection therewith in the form presented by the Company, so long as such agreements, documents and instruments do not require BlueMountain to make more burdensome representations, warranties, covenants or indemnities than those required of Holdings or any of its Affiliates in the agreements, documents or instruments in connection with such transaction.

 

(B)                               Exercise. In order to exercise its purchase rights hereunder, BlueMountain must within 10 days after receipt of a Pre-Emptive Right Notice, deliver a written notice to the Company describing BlueMountain’s election hereunder, which notice shall constitute BlueMountain’s unconditional and irrevocable election with respect to the purchase of the securities or indebtedness being offered.

 

(C)                               Subsequent Sale. The Company shall be entitled, during the 180 days following expiration of the time period set forth in Section 1(B), to sell such securities or indebtedness which BlueMountain has not elected to purchase, at a price not less and on other terms and conditions materially no more favorable to the purchasers thereof, in the aggregate, than that offered to BlueMountain. Any securities or indebtedness offered or sold by the Company after such 180-day period must be reoffered to BlueMountain if required pursuant to the terms of Section 1(A).

 

(D)                               Alternative Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Board determines that it would be in the best interests of the Company to do so, it may issue Equity Securities or indebtedness which would otherwise be required to be offered to BlueMountain under this Section 1 without first complying with this Section 1; provided that within 45 days after such issuance, it offers BlueMountain the opportunity to purchase such Equity Securities or indebtedness as BlueMountain would be entitled to purchase under Section 1(A).

 

3

 

2.                                      Other Preemptive Rights. With respect to any Equity Securities that are subject to the preemptive rights of BlueMountain and other shareholders of the Company pursuant to Section 3 of the Shareholders’ Agreement, BlueMountain shall be entitled to purchase its Proportional Share of the securities which the shareholders eligible to exercise their preemptive rights thereunder (other than BlueMountain) have not elected to purchase within the exercise period permitted thereunder, at a price not less and on other terms and conditions materially no more favorable to the purchasers thereof, in the aggregate, than that offered to such holders.

 

3.                                      Initial Public Offering.

 

(A)                               On any particular date from and after the sixth (6th) anniversary of the date hereof, if there has not been a Sale of the Company (as defined below) or an initial public offering of the Company’s Equity Securities (an “Initial Public Offering”) between the date hereof and such date, BlueMountain Credit Alternatives Master Fund L.P. shall be entitled to cause the Company (on only one occasion), by delivering a written notice of such election to the Company, to exercise the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts to consummate an Initial Public Offering.

 

(B)                               Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 3(A) to the contrary, the Company may postpone for up to six (6) months the undertaking of any action or process with respect to its obligations under Section 3(A) if the Board determines in good faith that such actions or process could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (i) the business, assets, properties or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined below) considered as a whole or (ii) any proposal or plan by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to obtain financing, engage in any acquisition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or engage in any merger, sale, consolidation, tender offer, reorganization or similar transaction.

 

4.                                      Related Party Transactions. Without the prior written consent of BlueMountain Credit Alternatives Master Fund L.P., the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly enter into, amend or modify any transaction or group of related transactions (including the purchase, lease, sale or exchange of properties of any kind or the rendering of any service) with Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. or any entity that, to the actual knowledge of the senior executives of the Company, Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. controls through its ownership of a majority of the voting equity securities (the “Oaktree Group”). For purposes of this Section 4, none of the following shall be deemed to constitute a transaction or action requiring compliance with the obligations of this Section 4, and, the Company and any Subsidiary may, without complying with this Section 4, (A) enter into reasonable indemnification arrangements and compensation arrangements (including equity-based compensation) and reimburse reasonable expenses of current or former officers and directors of the Company or any Subsidiary who are employees of the Oaktree Group, (B) issue any capital stock or indebtedness to the Oaktree Group provided that such issuance did not violate Section 1 of this Agreement, (C) distribute or pay any dividend to, or redeem, any capital stock or indebtedness, of the Company or any Subsidiary, that is owned by the Oaktree Group;

 

4

 

provided that such distribution, dividend or redemption is on a pro rata basis with each other holder of such class or tranche of Company capital stock or indebtedness, as applicable, (D) comply with its obligations or exercise its rights (and permit the Oaktree Group to exercise its rights and comply with its obligations) under the Shareholders’ Agreement or under the Registration Agreement.

 

5.                                      Qualifying Business. Without the prior written consent of BlueMountain Credit Alternatives Master Fund L.P., the Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, take any of the actions described in Sections 5(e), 5(h) or 5(i) of the Shareholders’ Agreement if, as a result thereof, the shares of Acquired GMR Stock (or such securities held by BlueMountain after giving effect to any conversion or exchange of or distribution on the Acquired GMR Stock in any transaction described in such subsections of the Shareholders’ Agreement) are securities, not registered for transfer under the Securities Act (as defined below), of an entity that (together with such entity’s Affiliates) is not a Qualifying Business. As used herein, “Qualifying Business” means an entity that together with its Affiliates utilizes at least seventy-five percent (75%) of its consolidated assets (excluding goodwill) in the business of international oil and refined products transportation and any businesses incidental or related to the foregoing.

 

6.                                      Governing Documents. Without the prior written consent of BlueMountain Credit Alternatives Master Fund L.P., the Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, make any amendment to its Governing Documents (as defined below) or file any resolution of the board of directors, board of managers or managing member, as applicable, with the Secretary of State (or similar governing body) of any governmental entity, which amendment or resolution would adversely affect in any material respect the rights, preferences or privileges of the Acquired GMR Stock thereunder (without regard to any effect on the individual circumstances of BlueMountain) in a manner disproportionate to the effect of such amendment, modification or waiver on the rights, preferences or privileges of the Equity Securities held by Holdings (including any securities issued directly or indirectly with respect to such Equity Securities by way of a share split, share dividend, or other division of securities, or in connection with a combination of securities, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or other reorganization); provided that nothing in this Section 6 shall limit the ability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to make any amendment to any Governing Documents or file any such resolution in order to implement the terms of any securities issued in compliance with Section 1.

 

7.                                      Registration Rights. From and after the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following an Initial Public Offering, and for so long as the Registration Agreement is effective, BlueMountain shall have the same rights with respect to its Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Agreement) as Holdings is provided under Section 1 of the Registration Agreement with respect to the Oaktree Registrable Securities. In connection therewith, BlueMountain shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Registration Agreement applicable to any Demand Registration (as defined in the Registration Agreement) requested by it. For the avoidance of doubt, the piggyback registration procedures in respect of a Demand Registration by BlueMountain

 

5

 

will be pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Registration Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that Holdings or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and BlueMountain on the other, each exercise their rights under Section 1 of the Registration Agreement, any conflicts in Section 1 of the Registration Agreement that result therefrom shall be resolved such that Holdings controls the decisions thereunder.

 

8.                                      Board Seat. Holdings will cause one individual designated by BlueMountain Credit Alternatives Master Fund L.P. in writing to be appointed to the Board and each committee thereof, from and after the date hereof; provided, however, such individual shall, prior to and as a condition to being appointed to the Board and each committee thereof, be required to agree in a written agreement with Holdings and the Company to (x) immediately resign, and to give Holdings the right to immediately remove such individual from the Board and each committee thereof, as applicable, upon the earlier to occur of (i) BlueMountain no longer holding the number of shares of Acquired GMR Stock equal to or greater than the Ownership Threshold and (ii) termination of this letter agreement pursuant to Section 12(B), and (y) keep confidential all information such individual receives from the Company (and to enter into a confidentiality agreement with Holdings and the Company in a form reasonably requested by Holdings and the Company). In addition, upon such events in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 8,  BlueMountain shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such individual to execute and deliver to Holdings and the Company a written resignation to such effect.

 

9.                                      Tax Matters.

 

(A)                               Tax Information. Upon written request from BlueMountain, the Company agrees to provide, at the Company’s expense, such information relating to the Company (and, to the extent relevant, the Company shall cause its Subsidiaries to provide to BlueMountain such information) as is reasonably necessary for the timely making, preparation and filing of the tax returns, tax elections or any other tax filings of BlueMountain (or of its direct or indirect owners) with respect to its investment in the Company. In addition, the Company shall provide BlueMountain and its tax advisors with reasonable access to the Company’s tax advisors in connection with the preparation by BlueMountain of any such tax returns, tax elections or any other tax filings, at BlueMountain’s expense.

 

(B)                               PFIC. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to conduct its affairs (and, to the extent relevant, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of its Subsidiaries to conduct its affairs) in a manner that minimizes the risk that the Company will become a PFIC; provided, however, that in the event of a change of the Code, applicable U.S. Treasury regulations or U.S. Internal Revenue Service guidance that affects the characterization of the Company’s assets, income, or operations under the PFIC rules (or, to the extent relevant, the characterization of the assets, income or operations of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries under the PFIC rules), the Company shall not be required to change any of its assets, income or operations in order to comply with the provisions of this sentence. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such inquiries as necessary from time to time and promptly after the end of each taxable year (and in no event later than 90 days after the end of each taxable year)

 

6

 

to determine whether the Company is a PFIC (and, if the Company is a PFIC, whether any of its Subsidiaries is a PFIC). Holdings and BlueMountain agree to cooperate with the Company in making such determinations. If the Company is a PFIC in any taxable year, the Company agrees to furnish within a reasonable time, and at the Company’s expense, to Holdings and BlueMountain all information that is reasonably necessary to satisfy their (or their direct or indirect owners’) U.S. federal, state and local income tax return filing requirements (and related tax elections) arising from their investment in the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable). Without limiting the foregoing, in the event the Company determines that it (and any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable) is a PFIC, the Company shall provide Holdings and BlueMountain on an annual basis with a properly completed “PFIC Annual Information Statement” as required by U.S. Treas. Reg. 1.1295-1(g) and otherwise comply with applicable reporting requirements necessary to enable Holdings and BlueMountain or their direct or indirect owners to make and maintain a “qualified electing fund” election with respect to the Company under Section 1295 of the Code.

 

(C)                               Entity Classification. The Company, Holdings and BlueMountain agree that, unless approved in writing by Holdings and BlueMountain Credit Alternatives Master Fund L.P., the Company shall properly be treated as an “association” taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Holdings and BlueMountain agree not to take any position, including in their tax filings, that is inconsistent with such treatment, and the Company shall file any election that is necessary to ensure such U.S. federal income tax status of the Company, and Holdings and BlueMountain agree to cooperate with the Company in maintaining such treatment and making such filings. If Holdings and BlueMountain Credit Alternatives Master Fund L.P. agree in writing that a different election is advisable, the Company will promptly file the necessary forms with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in accordance with such agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this provision (C), in the event of a change of the Code or applicable U.S. Treasury regulations that would cause the Company no longer to be treated as an “association” taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the parties shall consult with each other in good faith concerning whether the Company should take any actions to be so treated.

 

(D)                               Withholding Taxes. The Company agrees to prepare (or cause to be prepared) any filings, applications or elections necessary to obtain any available exemption from, reduction in the rate of, or refund of, any material withholding or other taxes imposed by any governmental authority with respect to amounts distributable to the shareholders with respect to their Equity Securities, in each case to the extent the Company can do so without unreasonable effort or expense. Holdings and BlueMountain agree that they will reasonably cooperate with the Company in making any such filings, applications or elections to the extent the Company determines that such cooperation is reasonably necessary. If Holdings or BlueMountain must make any such filings, applications or elections directly, the Company, at the request of Holdings or BlueMountain, as applicable, shall provide (i) such information and take such other action as may reasonably be necessary to complete or make such filings, applications or elections, and (ii) Holdings or BlueMountain, as applicable, and their tax advisors with reasonable

 

7

 

access to the Company’s tax advisors in connection with the preparation by Holdings or BlueMountain of any such filings, applications or elections.

 

(E)                                Tax Compliance. The Company and its subsidiaries shall use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all tax returns required to be filed in the ordinary course of the Company’s or the subsidiaries’ trade or business, (ii) to timely pay all taxes, whether or not shown as due on any tax returns, (iii) to the extent applicable, to timely make any estimated tax payments required to be paid during the taxable year, on the basis of the information then reasonably available, and (iv) to timely analyze and properly document the tax consequences of any vessel sales, if any, whether structured as a sale of assets or as a sale of shares.

 

10.                               Reclassification or Exchange. Without the prior written consent of BlueMountain Credit Alternatives Master Fund L.P., not to be unreasonably withheld, the Company shall not effect any reclassification of any class of the Company’s equity securities if such reclassification would adversely affect in any material respect the rights, preferences or privileges of the same class of equity securities of the Company held by BlueMountain (without regard to the individual circumstances of BlueMountain) in a manner disproportionate to the effect of such reclassification on the rights, preferences or privileges of the same class of equity securities of the Company held by Holdings. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of BlueMountain Credit Alternatives Master Fund L.P., authorize the issuance or sale of any Equity Securities to a fund that is not within the “Control Investing” strategy of the Oaktree Group in exchange for indebtedness of the Company that was not (i) by its terms exchangeable, convertible or exercisable for Equity Securities and (ii) held by such fund as of the date of this Agreement, if such exchange is solely of indebtedness held by the Oaktree Group and there is not a concurrent exchange of indebtedness (of the same or different class of indebtedness) held by any other lenders to the Company.

 

11.                               Definitions.

 

(A)                               “Affiliate” of any particular Person means any other Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with such particular Person, where “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct the management and policies of a Person whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

(B)                               “Code” means the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (or any successor statute), and the Treasury regulations thereunder.

(1)    Charter rates for time charters represents the contractual daily rate. For spot voyages, where a vessel is hired by a charterer for a single voyage to transport its cargo between two or more ports the daily rate is expressed as estimated net voyage revenues divided by estimated spot voyage days. Estimated voyage revenues represents freight minus the sum of: (1) commissions and estimated voyage expenses consisting primarily of estimated fuel consumption and estimated port costs. Estimated spot voyage days is the number of calendar days between the date on which the vessel completed discharged of cargo from its prior voyage and the date on which the vessel is expected to complete discharge of cargo from its current voyage. For vessels in commercial pooling arrangements, the vessel receives variable rates from the pool based on the pool’s profits derived from subchartering the vessels on spot voyage charters. These rates vary so a daily rate cannot be attributable at any point in time.

 

(2)    The Genmar Concord was chartered in on a bareboat basis until June 2012, at which time the contract was rejected by the Company. Because the owner of this vessel believed the charter to be at a favorable rate and did not want to lose the charter, the owner entered into an arrangement with the Company whereby the Company would continue to invoice the charterer and, upon collection, remit it to the owner, less a small fee. To do this, the owner entered into a time charter agreement with the Company for terms mirroring the time charter between the Company and the charterer.

Shell has asserted a claim on three of those vessels, which covers the first year of each contract (periods ranging from February 2011 to March 2012), which is currently being reviewed by management and is subject to negotiation. Shell may also assert a claim on the fourth vessel covering its first year and for periods subsequent to the first year on all four vessels.

Schedule 3.19
 Tax Returns and Payments

 

The disclosures set forth herein do not reflect any tax implications arising from the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

 

·                  The Company failed to withhold and pay to the appropriate Governmental Authorities amounts required to have been withheld and paid in connection with the vesting, prior to 2007, of shares of restricted stock granted to employees. The Company entered into settlement agreements with the appropriate Governmental Authorities and paid all amounts due under such agreements. Pursuant to the settlement agreements, no further amounts are due with respect to this matter.

·                  The United States federal Tax Returns of Arlington Tankers Ltd. (“Arlington”) relating to Taxes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 were filed with the United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) after the filing deadline of September 15, 2006.

·                  The United States federal Tax Returns of Arlington relating to Taxes for fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 were filed with the IRS after the filing deadline of September 17, 2007.

·                  Arlington subsidiaries Concept Ltd. and Contest Ltd., each an eligible entity organized in Bermuda, did not timely file IRS Forms 8832 to be treated as disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes as of January 5, 2006. These subsidiaries were incorrectly listed as disregarded entities on Arlington’s United States federal Tax Returns for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Concept Ltd. and Contest Ltd. applied for and received letter rulings granting an extension of time to file IRS Forms 8832 to be classified as disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes with retroactive effect to January 5, 2006. Concept Ltd. and Contest Ltd. filed such IRS Forms 8832 on March 23, 2009.

·                  The Company has not filed the Arlington Connecticut Forms CT-1 120 for 2005 - 2007 or paid the minimum CT Corporation Business Tax of $250 per year. The tax due for these returns is $250 per year, plus interest and penalties.

·                  GMR Strength LLC did not timely file Canadian 2006 and 2007 corporate income tax returns. On February 1, 2012, Canada Revenue Agency sent GMR Strength LLC a notice of corporate income tax assessment for 2007. The notice also referred to an earlier assessment for 2006. GMR Strength LLC subsequently filed Canadian 2006 and 2007 corporate income tax returns on June 27, 2012. The Company estimates that this may result in tax due for 2007 of approximately $99,000, which would be an unsecured claim in the Company’s bankruptcy.

·                  The United States federal Tax Returns of General Maritime Corporation relating to Taxes for the year ended December 31, 2010 were filed with the IRS on September 28, 2011, which is a date later than the filing deadline of September 15, 2011.

·                  In the Spring of 2012, the company informed the New York City Department of Finance that it had not timely file New York City Commercial Rent Tax returns from 2001 through May 31, 2012. The company reached an agreement with the Department to file returns and pay tax for the past four years in full satisfaction of its past due liabilities.

·                  In 2011, the Company made a $285,915 payment to Peter C. Georgiopoulos resulting from a Company error in tax reporting. No tax information returns have been filed in connection with this payment.

·                  Some of the Form 8832 elections made with respect to the Company’s Subsidiaries may be subject to the 60 month rule set forth in Treasury Regulation Sec. 301.7701-3(c)(1)(iv).

Attention: Paul Friedman

 

Re: General Maritime Company (the “Company”) 

 

November       , 2012

 

We are licensed to practice law in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (the “RMI”), and are members in good standing of the Bar of the RMI. We are acting as special counsel to the Company, a RMI corporation, for the purpose of rendering an opinion regarding the laws of the RMI on that certain transaction (the “Transaction”), involving the documents listed and defined below.

 

We have not acted on behalf of any of the parties to the transaction in relation to the negotiation, drafting or execution of any of the documents as defined below.

 

For purposes of rendering this opinion we have examined electronic copies of the following documents:

 

1.              A copy of that certain Common Stock Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated November 1, 2012, between the Company and the parties identified therein as Purchasers (the “Purchasers”); and

 

2.              A copy of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company dated February 8, 2008, and a Certificate of Good Standing for the Company dated October       , 2012, along with resolutions of the board of directors of the Company dated October 10, 2012, authorizing entry into the Transaction (collectively the “Company Documents”).

 

We have not reviewed any other documents other than the Agreement and Company Documents and we do not render an opinion regarding the laws of the RMI on any other documents involved in the Transaction, other than the documents listed above even if such other documents have either been referred to or are incorporated into the documents we have reviewed.

 

1

 

In rendering this opinion we have assumed with your permission and without independent verification:

 

1.              The genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all items submitted to us, and the conformity with originals of all items submitted to us as electronic copies or otherwise, the accuracy of the certificates submitted to us, that all parties to the Transaction other than the Company executed and delivered the documents to the Transaction, along with all other agreements, instruments, associated documents, and resolutions, that such parties were duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions and such parties were duly qualified to engage in the transactions covered by this opinion, that such parties had the power and authority to enter into and perform their obligations thereunder, that such parties duly authorized, executed and delivered the documents to the Transaction to which it was a party, that the documents to the Transaction constitute the legal, valid, and binding obligation of each of the parties under all relevant laws, other than the laws of the RMI which are the subject of this opinion, that the due authorization, execution, enforceability and delivery of the documents to the Transaction to which each was a party comply with all relevant laws, other than the laws of the RMI which are the subject of this opinion, and that all actions required to be taken by such parties under all relevant laws, other that the laws of the RMI which are the subject of this opinion, have been duly accomplished;

 

2.              That all conditions precedent to the Transaction have been fulfilled or waived.

 

Whenever our opinion is indicated to be based on our knowledge or awareness, it is intended to signify that although we have searched the public register of RMI corporations to determine the good standing of the Company, we have not undertaken any independent investigation specifically for the purpose of rendering this opinion and our knowledge will be limited to those matters of which we have actual knowledge. Whenever we have stated that we have assumed any matter, it is intended that we assume such matter without making any factual, legal, or other inquiry or investigation and without expressing any opinion or conclusion of any kind concerning such matter.

 

The opinion hereinafter expressed is subject to the following:

 

1.              The effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, preferential and fraudulent transfer, moratorium and other similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting generally the enforcement of creditors or secured creditors rights;

 

2.              Limitations imposed by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or in law), upon the enforceability of any of the remedies, covenants or other provisions of the Agreement or upon the availability of injunctive relief or other equitable remedies orders for which are discretionary under RMI law.

 

3.              We express no opinion on any provision in the Agreement which stipulates

 

2

 

that the invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions shall not affect any other provision or provisions or the validity or unenforceability thereof nor do we express any opinion on any provision which stipulates that any particular provision or provisions may be severable, or on any similar provision.

 

4.              The constitutionality and continued validity of all statutes and laws of the RMI reviewed and relied upon by us in connection with rendering this opinion;

 

5.              We render no opinion herein with respect to the priority of any lien or security interest created by the Agreement nor do we express any opinion on the title to any real or personal property described in the Transaction other than under the laws of the RMI;

 

6.              The enforceability under certain circumstances, under the laws or court decisions of the RMI, of provisions expressly or by implication waiving broadly or vaguely stated rights, unknown future rights, defenses to obligations or rights granted by law, where such waivers are against public policy or prohibited by law;

 

7.              The unenforceability under certain circumstances of indemnifying a party against liability for its own wrongful and negligent acts or where such indemnification is contrary to public policy or prohibited by law;

 

8.              The effect of laws of the RMI, which may provide that a court may refuse to enforce, or may limit the application of a contract or any clause thereof which the court finds as a matter of law to have been unconscionable at the time it was made or contrary to public policy;

 

9.              The unenforceability under certain circumstances of contractual provisions respecting self-help or summary remedies without notice or opportunity for hearing or correction, and the effect of the laws of the RMI which may require a secured party in any disposition of collateral, to act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

 

10.                 The RMI courts may refuse to give effect to a purported contractual obligation to pay costs imposed upon another party in respect of the costs of any unsuccessful lawsuit brought against that party before the courts of the RMI and the RMI courts may not award by way of costs all of the expenditure incurred by a successful litigant in proceedings brought before the RMI court.

 

11.                 A RMI court may stay proceedings if concurrent proceedings are brought elsewhere and claims may become barred under the laws as to limitation of actions in the RMI or may become subject to defenses of set-off or counterclaim.

 

12.                 The courts of the RMI will not directly or indirectly enforce foreign revenue or penal laws.

 

We express no opinion as to matters governed by, or the effect or applicability of

 

3

 

any laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the RMI which are in effect as of the date hereof. This opinion speaks as of the date hereof, and it should be recognized that changes may occur after the date of this letter which may effect the opinion set forth herein. We assume no obligation to advise the parties, their counsel, or any other party seeking to rely upon this opinion, of any such changes, whether or not material, or of any other matter which may hereinafter be brought to our attention.

 

This opinion is furnished solely for the benefit of the parties to the Transaction and may not be used for any other purpose or relied upon by, nor copies delivered to, any person other than the parties to the Transaction, without our prior written consent in each case.

 

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications, limitations, exceptions and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

 

1.              The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the RMI.

 

2.              The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Agreement and perform its obligations thereunder.

 

3.         The Shares of Common Stock, par value US$0.01 per share, of the Company to be issued and sold by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Agreement have been fully authorized and, when issued and delivered against payment therefore as provided in the Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and the issuance of the Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights under the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or under any RMI statute.

 

4.              The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, and compliance by the Company with the terms and provisions thereof, do not and will not, with or without the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, (i) conflict with or violate the Articles of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Company, or (ii) violate any RMI statute or any judgment, order or decree, rule or regulation applicable to the Company of any RMI court or other RMI regulatory authority or other governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company or its properties or assets.

 

	
Sincerely,
