	1	
Reference is made to the loan agreement dated 2 October 2010 (as amended and supplemented by an amendment agreement dated 15 February 2017 and as further amended and/or supplemented from time to time) (the Loan Agreement) and entered into between, inter alios, (1) Lae Shipping Company Inc. and Namu Shipping Company Inc. as joint and several borrowers (the "Borrowers"), (2) Diana Shipping Inc. as guarantor (the "Corporate Guarantor"), (3) DNB Bank ASA (then known as DnB NOR BANK ASA) and The Export-Import Bank of China as arrangers, (4) DNB Bank ASA (then known as DnB NOR BANK ASA) as swap provider, (5) DNB Bank ASA (then known as DnB NOR BANK ASA) as security agent (the "Security Agent"), agent (the "Agent") and account bank and (6) the banks and financial institutions referred to therein as lenders (the "Banks"), in relation to a loan of up to $82,600,000.

	2	
Words and expressions defined in the Loan Agreement shall, unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise defined herein, have the same meanings when used in this Agreement.

	3	
The Creditors hereby agree, following the Borrowers' request, that, with effect from the date of this Agreement:

		(a)	
clauses 4.1.3, 4.1.4 and 4.5 of the Loan Agreement shall be amended (and are hereby amended) so as to read as follows:

"4.1.3 Notwithstanding clause 4.1.1 above, any individual Bank in its absolute and unfettered discretion (but acting through the Agent) shall be entitled to demand repayment in full of such Bank's Contribution in any or all Advances on 16 August 2019. If one or more Banks (acting through the Agent) exercise such right in respect of an Advance, the Borrowers shall be obliged to repay each such Bank's Contribution in that Advance in full on such date. In that case and unless the Borrowers have received such a written demand for an Advance from all Banks (in which case they will repay the full amount of that Advance on 16 August 2019), the Borrowers shall continue to repay the repayment instalments in respect of the balance of that Advance (namely excluding the Contribution of the Banks which will be repayable on 16 August 2019) on the same Repayment Dates as scheduled and specified in clause 4.1.1 for that Advance.

4.1.4 The Banks shall be entitled to exercise their right under clause 4.1.3, whether in respect of one Advance only, or in respect of both Advances, and they can exercise it at separate times in respect of each Advance.

4.1.5 If one or more Banks wish to exercise their right under clause 4.1.3 in respect of an Advance, the Agent shall send to the Borrowers a written demand to this effect in respect of that Advance by no later than 16 May 2019. Neither the Agent nor any Bank shall be obliged to assign any reason to any decision to demand such repayment of an Advance under clause 4.1.3 above."; and

		(b)	
the following new clause 4.5.4 shall be (and is hereby) added before the existing clause 4.5.4 of the Loan Agreement, and the existing clauses 4.5.4 and 4.5.5 shall be renumbered (and are hereby renumbered) as clauses 4.5.5. and 4.5.6 respectively:

"4.5.4 For the avoidance of doubt, any partial prepayment of an Advance under clause 4.1.3 shall be applied in reduction (i) of the Contribution to such Advance of only those Banks which have exercised their right of demand under clause 4.1.3 and (ii) of the repayment instalments of the relevant Advance (including the relevant Balloon Instalment) under clause 4.1.1. pro rata.".

	4

	10	
The provisions of clauses 17 (Notices) and 18 (Governing law and jurisdiction) of the Loan Agreement shall be incorporated into this Agreement as if set out in full herein and as if references to "this Agreement" were references to this Agreement.

7.

Deferred Stock Accounts.  The Company shall maintain a Deferred Stock Account for each Participant who makes a Deferral Election to which shall be credited, as of the applicable Payment Time, the number of shares of the Common Stock payable pursuant to the Stock Award to which the Deferral Election relates.  So long as any amounts in such Deferred Stock Account have not been delivered to the Participant under Paragraph 8 hereof, each Deferred Stock Account shall be credited as of the payment date for any dividend paid or other distribution made with respect to the Common Stock, with a number of shares of the Common Stock equal to (a) the number of shares of the Common Stock shown in such Deferred Stock Account on the record date for such dividend or distribution multiplied by (b) the Dividend Equivalent for such dividend or distribution.

8.

Delivery of Shares.

(a)

The shares of the Common Stock in a Participant’s Deferred Stock Account with respect to any Stock Award for which a Deferral Election has been made (together with dividends attributable to such shares credited to such Deferred Stock Account) shall be delivered in accordance with this Paragraph 8 as soon as practicable after the applicable Delivery Date.  Except with respect to a Deferral Election pursuant to Paragraph 6 hereof, or other agreement between the parties, such shares shall be delivered at one time; provided that, if the number of shares so delivered includes a fractional share, such number shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of shares.  

3

If the Participant has in effect a Deferral Election pursuant to Paragraph 6 hereof, then such shares shall be delivered in five equal annual installments (together with dividends attributable to such shares credited to such Deferred Stock Account), with the first such installment being delivered on the first anniversary of the Delivery Date; provided that, if in order to equalize such installments, fractional shares would have to be delivered, such installments shall be adjusted by rounding to the nearest whole share.  If any such shares are to be delivered after the Participant has died or become legally incompetent, they shall be delivered to the Participant’s estate or legal guardian, as the case may be, in accordance with the foregoing; provided that, if the Participant dies with a Deferral Election pursuant to Paragraph 6 hereof in effect, the Committee shall deliver all remaining undelivered shares to the Participant’s estate immediately.  References to a Participant in this Plan shall be deemed to refer to the Participant’s estate or legal guardian, where appropriate.

(b)

The Company may, but shall not be required to, create a grantor trust or utilize an existing grantor trust (in either case, the “Trust”) to assist it in accumulating the shares of the Common Stock needed to fulfill its obligations under this Paragraph 8.  However, Participants shall have no beneficial or other interest in the Trust and the assets thereof, and their rights under this Plan shall be as general creditors of the Company, unaffected by the existence or nonexistence of the Trust, except that deliveries of Stock Awards to Participants from the Trust shall, to the extent thereof, be treated as satisfying the Company’s obligations under this Paragraph 8.

9.

Share Certificates; Voting and Other Rights.  The certificates for shares delivered to a Participant pursuant to Paragraph 8 above shall be issued in the name of the Participant, and from and after the date of such issuance the Participant shall be entitled to all rights of a stockholder with respect to the Common Stock for all such shares issued in his name, including the right to vote the shares, and the Participant shall receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect thereto.

10.

General Restrictions.

(a)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or agreements made pursuant thereto, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for shares of the Common Stock under this Plan prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

(i)

Listing or approval for listing upon official notice of issuance of such shares on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., or such other securities exchange as may at the time be a market for the Common Stock;

(ii)

Any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state or federal law or regulation, or the maintaining in effect of any such registration or other qualification which the Committee shall, upon the advice of counsel, deem necessary or advisable; and

(iii)

Obtaining any other consent, approval, or permit from any state or federal governmental agency which the Committee shall, after receiving the advice of counsel, determine to be necessary or advisable.

(b)

Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Company from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for the Participants.

11.

Shares Available.  Subject to Paragraph 12 below, the maximum number of shares of the Common Stock which may in the aggregate be paid as Stock Awards pursuant to this Plan is 6,000,000.

12.

Adjustments; Change of Control.

(a)

In the event that there is, at any time after the Board adopts this Plan, any change in corporate capitalization, such as a stock split, combination of shares, exchange of shares, warrants or rights offering to purchase the Common Stock at a price below its Fair Market Value, reclassification, or recapitalization, or a corporate transaction, such as any merger, consolidation, separation, including a spin-off, stock dividend, or other extraordinary distribution of stock or property of the Company, any reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Section 368 of the Code) or any partial or complete liquidation of the Company (each of the foregoing a “Transaction”), in each case other than any such Transaction which constitutes a Change of Control (as defined below), (i) the Deferred Stock Accounts shall be credited with the amount and kind of shares or other property which would have been received by a holder of the number of shares of the Common Stock held in such Deferred Stock Account had such shares of the Common Stock been outstanding as of the effectiveness of any such Transaction, (ii) the number and kind of shares or other property subject to this Plan shall likewise be appropriately adjusted to reflect the effectiveness of any such Transaction, and (iii) the Committee shall appropriately adjust any other relevant provisions of this Plan and any such modification by the Committee shall be binding and conclusive on all persons.

(b)

If the shares of the Common Stock credited to the Deferred Stock Accounts are converted pursuant to Paragraph 12(a) into another form of property, references in this Plan to the Common Stock shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to such other form of property, with such other modifications as may be required for this Plan to operate in accordance with its purposes.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, references to delivery of certificates for shares of the Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to delivery of cash and the incidents of ownership of any other property held in the Deferred Stock Accounts.

(c)

In lieu of the adjustment contemplated by Paragraph 12(a), in the event of a Change of Control, the following shall occur on the date of the Change of Control (i) the shares of the Common Stock held in each Participant’s Deferred Stock Account shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding as of the Change of Control; (ii) the Company shall forthwith deliver to each Participant who has a Deferred Stock Account all of the shares of the Common Stock or any other property held in such Participant’s Deferred Stock Account; and (iii) this Plan shall be terminated.

(d)

For purposes of this Plan, Change of Control shall mean any of the following events:

(i)

The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 80 percent or more of either (1) the then outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”), or (2) the combined voting power of then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control (A) any acquisition directly from the Company (excluding an acquisition by virtue of the exercise of a conversion privilege unless the security being so converted was itself acquired directly from the Company), (B) any acquisition by the Company, (C) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company or (D) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a reorganization, merger or consolidation, if, following such reorganization, merger or consolidation, the conditions described in clauses (A), (B) and (C) of paragraph (iii) of this Paragraph 12(d) are satisfied; or
