	Re:	Initial Public Offering 

 Gentlemen: 

This letter (this “Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the
“Underwriting Agreement”) entered into or proposed to be entered into by and between Hunter Maritime Acquisition Corp., a Marshall Islands corporation (the “Company”), and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC,
as the representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) of 17,250,000 of the Company’s
units (including up to 2,250,000 units that may be purchased to cover over-allotments, if any) (the “Units”), each comprised of one Class A common share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A
Common Shares”, and together with the Founder Shares (defined below), the “Common Shares”), and one-half warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant entitles the
holder thereof to purchase one Class A Common Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units shall be sold in the Public Offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-1 and prospectus (the
“Prospectus”) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and the Company shall apply to have the Units listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Certain
capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 11 hereof. 
 In order to induce the Company and the Underwriters to enter into the
Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the Public Offering and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Bocimar Hunter NV, a Belgian corporation (the
“Sponsor”), and the undersigned individuals, each of whom is a director or member of the Company’s management team (each, an “Insider” and collectively, the “Insiders”),
hereby agrees with the Company as follows: 
 1. (a) (i) The Sponsor agrees that if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a proposed
Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed Business Combination, it shall vote any Common Shares owned by it in favor of such proposed Business Combination and will not redeem any Common Shares owned by it in connection with such
shareholder approval and (ii) each Insider agrees that if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed Business Combination, he shall vote any Class A Common Shares owned by him in
favor of such proposed Business Combination and will not redeem any Class A Common Shares owned by him in connection with such shareholder approval.

 (b) The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that if the Company seeks shareholder approval of the
Company’s transfer of corporate domicile to Belgium, or another jurisdiction that is acceptable to the Sponsor, it or he shall vote any Common Shares owned by it or him in favor of such proposed change of corporate domicile. 

2. The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that in the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the
closing of the Public Offering, or such later period approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, the Sponsor and each Insider shall take all reasonable steps to
cause the Company to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the
Common Shares sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering (the “Offering Shares”), at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which
interest shall be net of taxes payable and working capital released to the Company and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely
extinguish all Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption,
subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Marshall Islands law to provide for claims of
creditors and other requirements of applicable law. The Sponsor and each Insider agrees to not propose any amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s
obligation to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, unless the Company provides its Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem
their Offering Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and working capital
released to the Company), divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares. 
 The Sponsor and each Insider acknowledges that it or
he has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or any other asset of the Company as a result of any liquidation of the Company with respect to the Founder Shares held by it. The Sponsor and
each Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any Common Shares held by it or him, if any, any redemption rights it or he may have in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, including, without limitation, any such rights
available in the context of a shareholder vote to approve such Business Combination or in the context of a tender offer made by the Company to purchase Common Shares (although the Sponsor and the Insiders shall be entitled to redemption and
liquidation rights with respect to any Class A Common Shares it or they hold if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the date of the closing of the Public Offering).

 3. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 7(a) and (b) below, during the
period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, the Sponsor and each Insider shall not, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract
or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within
the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to any Units, Common Shares, Warrants or any securities convertible into, or
exercisable, or exchangeable for, Common Shares owned by it, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Units, Shares, Warrants or any securities
convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Shares owned by it, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction,
including the filing of a registration statement, specified in clause (i) or (ii). Each of the Insiders and the Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the effective date of any release or waiver of the restrictions set forth in this
paragraph 3 or paragraph 7 below, the Company shall announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted
shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and the transferee has
agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Letter Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer. 

4. In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, the Sponsor (which for purposes of clarification shall not extend to any other
shareholders, members or managers of the Sponsor) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, whether pending or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) to which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by (i) any third party for services
rendered or products sold to the Company or (ii) a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into an acquisition agreement (a “Target”); provided, however, that such indemnification of
the Company by the Sponsor shall apply only to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims by a third party for services rendered (other than the Company’s independent public accountants) or products sold to the Company or a Target do not
reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to the lesser of (i) $10.00 per share of the Offering Shares or (ii) the actual amount per share of the Offering Shares held in the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust
assets as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, in each case, net of the amount of interest earned on the property in the Trust Account which may be withdrawn to pay taxes and for working capital purposes, except as to any claims by a
third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. In the event that any such executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against such third party, the Sponsor shall not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Sponsor shall
have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Company if, within 15 days following written receipt of notice of the claim to the Sponsor, the Sponsor notifies the Company in writing that it
shall undertake such defense. 
 5. To the extent that the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase up to an
additional 2,250,000 Units within 45 days from the date of the Prospectus (and as further described in the Prospectus), the Sponsor agrees that it shall forfeit, at no cost, a number of Founder Shares in the aggregate equal to 562,500 multiplied by
a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is 2,250,000 minus the number of Units purchased by the Underwriters upon the exercise of their over-allotment option, and (ii) the denominator of which is 2,250,000. The forfeiture will be adjusted
to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the Underwriters so that the Initial Shareholders will own an aggregate of 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares after the Public Offering. The
Initial Shareholders further agree that to the extent that the size of the Public Offering is increased or decreased, the Company will effect a capitalization or share repurchase or redemption or other appropriate mechanism, as applicable,
immediately prior to the consummation of the Public offering in such amount as to maintain the ownership of the Initial Shareholders prior to the 

 Hunter Maritime Acquisition Corp.

Public Offering at 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares upon the consummation of the Public Offering. In connection with such increase or decrease in the size of
the Public Offering, then (A) the references to 2,250,000 in the numerator and denominator of the formula in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be changed to a number equal to 15% of the number of Common Shares included in the Units
issued in the Public Offering and (B) the reference to 562,500 in the formula set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be adjusted to such number of Founder Shares that the Sponsor would have to return to the Company in order to
hold an aggregate of 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares after the Public Offering. 
 6. (a) The Sponsor and each
Insider hereby agrees not to participate in the formation of, or become an officer or director of, any other blank check company that has its common shares listed for trading on NASDAQ, the New York Stock Exchange, or another nationally recognized
exchange, until the Company has entered into a definitive agreement regarding its Business Combination or the Company has failed to complete a Business Combination within 24 months after the closing of the Public Offering. Such restriction does
not preclude the Sponsor from pursuing limited partnership interests in asset management companies. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sponsor and each Insider are allowed to participate in the formation of, or become an officer or director of,
another blank check company upon completion of the Business Combination. 
 (b) The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges
that: (i) the Underwriters and the Company would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by such Sponsor or Insider of its or his obligations under paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6(a), 7(a), 7(b), and 9 of this Letter Agreement
(ii) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach and (iii) the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, in the event
of such breach. 
 7. (a) The Sponsor agrees that it shall not Transfer (as defined below) any Founder Shares (or Class A Common Shares
issuable upon conversion thereof) until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Class A
Common Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the
Company’s initial Business Combination or (y) the date following the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share
exchange, or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Common Shares for cash, securities or other property (the “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”). 

(b) The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it or he shall not Transfer any Private Placement Warrants (or Class A Common Shares issued or
issuable upon the conversion of the Private Placement Warrants), until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination (the “Private Placement Warrants Lock-up Period”, together with the Founder Shares Lock-up Period,
the “Lock-up Periods”).

 (c) Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 7(a) and (b), Transfers of
the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and Class A Common Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Private Placement Warrants or the Founder Shares and that are held by the Sponsor, any Insider or any of their
permitted transferees (that have complied with this paragraph 7(c)), are permitted (a) to the Company’s executive officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of the Company’s executive officers or directors, any
members of the Sponsor or any affiliates or family members of members of the Sponsor, or any affiliates (or their employees) of the Sponsor; (b) in the case of an individual, transfers by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate
family, to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family or an affiliate of such person, or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, transfers by virtue of laws of descent and
distribution upon death of the individual; (d) in the case of an individual, transfers pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) transfers by private sales or transfers made in connection with the consummation of a Business
Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the securities were originally purchased; (f) if a holder is an entity, as a distribution to its partners, shareholders or members upon its liquidation; (g) in the event of the
Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of an initial Business Combination; (h) by virtue of the laws of Belgium upon dissolution of the Sponsor; or (i) in the event of the Company’s completion of a liquidation, merger, share
exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Common Shares for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion of the
Company’s initial Business Combination; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (f) and (h), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by the restrictions herein. 

8. The Sponsor and each Insider represents and warrants that it or he has never been suspended or expelled from membership in any securities
or commodities exchange or association or had a securities or commodities license or registration denied, suspended or revoked. Each Insider’s biographical information furnished to the Company (including any such information included in
the Prospectus) is true and accurate in all respects and does not omit any material information with respect to the Insider’s background. Each Insider’s questionnaire furnished to the Company is true and accurate in all
respects. Each Insider represents and warrants that: it is not subject to or a respondent in any legal action for, any injunction, cease-and-desist order or order or stipulation to desist or refrain from any act or practice relating to the
offering of securities in any jurisdiction; it has never been convicted of, or pleaded guilty to, any crime (i) involving fraud, (ii) relating to any financial transaction or handling of funds of another person, or (iii) pertaining to
any dealings in any securities and it is not currently a defendant in any such criminal proceeding. 
 9. Except as disclosed in the
Prospectus, neither the Sponsor nor any Insider nor any affiliate of the Sponsor or any Insider, nor any director or officer of the Company, shall receive from the Company any finder’s fee, reimbursement, consulting fee, monies in respect of
any repayment of a loan or other compensation prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is), other
than the following, none of which will be made from the proceeds held in the Trust Account prior to the completion of the initial Business Combination: repayment of a loan and advances made to the Company by the Sponsor; payment to an affiliate of
the Sponsor for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support for a total of $10,000 per month; reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial Business
Combination, and repayment of loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by the Company from time to 

 Hunter Maritime Acquisition Corp.

time, made by the Sponsor or any of the Company’s officers or directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, provided, that, if the
Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination, a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account may be used by the Company to repay such loaned amounts so long as no proceeds from the Trust Account are used for such
repayment. Up to $2,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. 

10. The Sponsor and each Insider has full right and power, without violating any agreement to which it is bound (including, without
limitation, any non-competition or non-solicitation agreement with any employer or former employer), to enter into this Letter Agreement and, as applicable, to serve as a director on the board of directors of the Company and hereby consents to being
named in the Prospectus as a director of the Company. 
 11. As used herein, (i) “Business Combination” shall
mean a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, debt acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses; (ii) “Founder

and any Insider that holds Founder Shares; (iv) “Private Placement Warrants” shall mean the Warrants to purchase up to 3,333,333 Class A Common Shares of the Company (or 3,633,333 Class A Common Shares if the
over-allotment option is exercised in full) that the Sponsor has agreed to purchase for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000 in the aggregate (or $5,450,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full), or $1.50 per Warrant, in a private
placement that shall occur simultaneously with the consummation of the Public Offering; (v) “Public Shareholders” shall mean the holders of securities issued in the Public Offering; (vi) “Trust
Account” shall mean the trust fund into which a portion of the net proceeds of the Public Offering shall be deposited; and (vii) “Transfer” shall mean the (a) sale of, offer to sell, contract or
agreement to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease
of a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, any security, (b) entry into
any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or

 13. No party hereto may assign either this Letter Agreement or any of its rights, interests,
or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the
purported assignee. This Letter Agreement shall be binding on the Sponsor and each Insider and their respective successors, heirs and assigns and permitted transferees.
