WHEREAS, in connection with the Option Vessels Agreement, SEACOR MI, certain of its subsidiaries, and Dorian entered into that certain Option Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2013, pursuant to which Dorian (in its capacity as a party to the Option Vessels Agreement) granted to SEACOR MI, and SEACOR MI acquired from Dorian, the right to cause Dorian to declare, either individually or collectively, certain of the options for the Vessels for SEACOR MI’s benefit pursuant to the terms of the Option Vessels Agreement, and for Dorian to retain certain rights with respect to certain of the Vessels pursuant to the terms and conditions thereto (the “Option Agreement”).
