(e)            Waiver of Events of Default under the Existing Facility Agreement.  The Lender hereby agrees to waive all Defaults or Events of Default that have occurred prior to the Effective Date under the Existing Facility Agreement on condition that each other lender of the Borrower and its subsidiaries shall have agreed to waive all defaults or events of defaults under a loan or other similar agreement between the Borrower and such lender or shall have otherwise reached similar agreements as this Section 10(e), each of which shall be satisfactory to the Lender in its sole discretion.

11.  PAYMENT OF COSTS AND EXPENSES

Until all of the obligations of the Borrower are satisfied in full, the Borrower agrees to pay on demand all expenses of the Lender (including the fees and expenses of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, counsel to the Lender and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by or on behalf of the Lender) in connection with:

(a)            the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of each Facility Document, including schedules and exhibits, and any amendments, waivers, consents, supplements or other modifications to any Facility Document as may from time to time hereafter be required, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated;

(b)            the filing, registration or recording of any Facility Document (including any UCC financing statement) and all amendments, supplements, amendment and restatements and other modifications to any thereof, searches made following the Effective Date in jurisdictions where UCC financing statements (or other documents evidencing Liens in favor of the Lender) have been recorded and any and all other documents or instruments of further assurance required to be filed or recorded by the terms of any Facility Document;

(c)            the preparation and review of the form of any document or instrument relevant to any Facility Document; and

(d)            any fees and expenses that the Lender incurs on the Effective Date and will incur thereafter with respect to any Facility Document.

15

The Borrower further agrees to pay, and to hold the Lender harmless from all liability for, any stamp or other taxes that may be payable in connection with the execution or delivery of each Facility Document, the Loans or the issuance of the Note.  The Borrower also agrees to reimburse the Lender upon demand for all reasonable out‐of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of counsel to the Lender) incurred by the Lender in connection with (x) the negotiation of any restructuring or "work-out" with the Borrower, whether or not consummated, of any obligations under the Facility Documents and (y) the enforcement of any obligations under the Facility Documents.

12.  AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT  

Each of the Borrower and the Lender hereby agrees as follows:

(a)            (i) Except as expressly stated herein or amended hereby or pursuant to documents executed in connection herewith, the Existing Facility Agreement and the other Facility Documents are ratified and confirmed as remaining unmodified and in full force and effect with respect to all obligations thereunder, except for the Facility Documents terminated in connection with the Release, (ii) this Agreement does not constitute a novation of rights, obligations and liabilities of the respective parties existing under the Existing Facility Agreement and such rights, obligations and liabilities shall continue and remain outstanding, and (iii) this Agreement amends, restates and replaces in its entirety the Existing Facility Agreement.

(b)            On the Effective Date, each Facility Document that was in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date other than the Existing Facility Agreement and such other Facility Documents that are terminated in connection with the Release shall continue to be effective and, unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to the Existing Facility Agreement contained therein shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement and any reference to the Loans or obligations shall be deemed to refer to the Loans and obligations hereunder.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower acknowledges and confirms that the Security Documents secure all of the Borrower's obligations hereunder.

13.  RELEASE; COLLATERAL EXCHANGE

(a)            Each of the Borrower and the Lender hereby agrees that as of the Effective Date, each of the ORIG Shares Pledge Agreement, the ORIG Shares Control Agreement and the ORIG Shares Securities Services Agreement shall be automatically terminated and the Lender's Liens in the Ocean Rig Shares, the ORIG Shares Securities Account and any other Collateral (as defined in the ORIG Shares Pledge Agreement) as created under the ORIG Shares Pledge Agreement, the ORIG Shares Control, Agreement and any other Facility Document shall be automatically released and of no further force or effect to secure the obligations of the Borrower under the Facility Documents, notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein; provided that in the event the Borrower fails to make the Prepayment in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, the Borrower shall immediately post additional collateral or take such other action as requested by the Lender in its sole discretion.

16

(b)            Each of the Borrower and the Lender hereby agrees that upon delivery by the Borrower to the Lender of the documents required in accordance with Section 7.09 hereof, the Pledge Agreement (Additional Shares) shall be automatically terminated and the Lender's Liens in the Mezzanine Shares, the Oil & Gas Shares and any other Collateral (as defined in the Pledge Agreement (Additional Shares)) shall be automatically released and of no further force or effect to secure the obligations of the Borrower under the Facility Documents, notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein (such Release of Liens in exchange for the delivery of such documents required under Section 7.09 hereof, the "Collateral Exchange").

(c)            The Lender shall execute and deliver to the Borrower such documents, instruments, UCC termination statements, mortgage releases, agreements and documentation as the Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence the Release and the Collateral Exchange (including the stock certificates evidencing the Mezzanine Shares and the Oil & Gas Shares and related stock powers).  The costs and expenses associated with the Release and the Collateral Exchange (including filing fees, and the costs and expenses of the counsel for the Lender) shall be for the sole expense of the Borrower and the Borrower agree that all such costs, expenses and charges constitute obligations hereunder.

14.  OTHER ACTIONS

EXHIBIT A

FORM OF PROMISSORY NOTE

	
$70,000,000

	
Dated: ________, 201__

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, DryShips Inc., a Marshall Islands corporation (the "Borrower") HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of Sifnos Shareholders Inc., a Marshall Islands corporation (the "Lender"), the principal sum of SEVENTY MILLION U.S. DOLLARS ($70,000,000) or, if less, the principal amount that is outstanding on the Maturity Date; provided, however, that such payment shall be in the amount necessary to repay in full the unpaid principal amount hereof together with interest on the principal amount hereof from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until such principal amount is paid in full.  Both principal and interest are payable to the Lender in U.S. Dollars.

This Promissory Note is one of the Notes issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated Secured Revolving Facility Agreement, dated April [_], 2016, between the Borrower and the Lender (the "Agreement") and is subject to and entitled to the benefits of the Facility Agreement.  Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Promissory Note have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

The principal amount of indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be payable in the amounts and on the dates specified in the Facility Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.  Interest thereon shall be paid until such principal amount is paid in full at such interest rates and at such times, and pursuant to such calculations, as are specified in the Agreement.

During the continuance of any one or more Events of Default as specified in the Agreement, all amounts then remaining unpaid on this Promissory Note shall become, or may be declared to be, immediately due and payable, all as provided in the Agreement.

Upon the failure of the Borrower to pay the Lender when due and payable any and all amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender under the provisions of this Promissory Note, the entire unpaid amount of this Promissory Note then outstanding shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived, and without any action on the part of the Lender.  If this Promissory Note is referred to an attorney for collection or enforcement, the Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses of collection or enforcement, including attorneys' fees.

Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Promissory Note may be brought by the Lender in the courts of the State of New York or the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York.  By execution and delivery of this Promissory Note, the Borrower consents, for itself and in respect of its property, to the jurisdiction of those courts.  The Borrower irrevocably waives any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any action or proceeding in such jurisdiction in respect of this Promissory Note or other document related thereto.  The Borrower hereby waives personal service of any summons, complaint or other process, which may be made by any other means permitted by the law of New York.

No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or a consent thereto; nor shall a single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT WHICH IT MAY HAVE TO REQUEST A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION RELATED TO THIS PROMISSORY NOTE.

THIS PROMISSORY NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
