Re: Initial Public Offering

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned agrees to serve as director of First Class Navigation Corporation, a Marshall Islands corporation (the “Company”), on the following terms and conditions (certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Schedule 1 hereto):

1. The undersigned agrees to serve as a director of the Company in consideration of Seventy-Five Thousand United States Dollars (US$75,000) per annum (the “Fee”), payable pro rata from the date hereof until the Business Combination Date, but only if the Company completes a Business Combination. The undersigned agrees to forego payment of all or any portion of the Fee until the Company completes a Business Combination and agrees that no Fee will be paid if a Transaction Failure occurs.

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 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. 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, including, without limitation, this and any other agreements relating to the payment of the Fee, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.

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 a director of the Company.

 

 

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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Neither the undersigned, any member of the Immediate Family of the undersigned, nor any Affiliate of the undersigned 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for his 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); provided, that such reimbursements are approved by the Company’s audit committee or, if the undersigned is a member of the Company’s audit committee, by a simple majority of the board of directors of the
Company, with the undersigned abstaining from such vote.

8. The undersigned agrees that none of the undersigned, any member of the Immediate Family of the undersigned, or any Affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive or accept, and the undersigned, on behalf of the undersigned and the aforementioned parties, hereby waives any rights to, a finder’s fee or any other compensation in the event the undersigned, any member of the Immediate Family of the undersigned or any Affiliate of the undersigned originates a Business Combination.

9. The undersigned agrees to be the a member of the board of directors of the Company until the earlier of the Business Combination Date or the liquidation of the Company. The undersigned’s biographical information furnished to the Company and the Underwriters,
