No fractional shares or rights to fractional shares of Class A Common Stock will be created or issued. Any fraction of a share will be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

		
	5.
	Withholding Taxes. Grantee acknowledges that Grantee may be liable for taxes assessed and/or withheld on the Award pursuant to applicable federal, state, national or local law under the applicable laws of the jurisdiction where the Grantee is resident or may otherwise be applicable to the Grantee in respect of the Restricted Stock Units or the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units.

	Payment of Withholding Taxes. The Grantee may satisfy its obligation in respect of withholding Taxes: (a) by paying to the Company in cash an amount equal to the withholding Taxes no later than the date of settlement of the Award; or (b) subject to compliance with applicable law and the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, by delivering to the Company an instruction to a broker approved by the Company providing for the assignment of the proceeds from the sale of some or all of the shares of Class A Common Stock to be received on the settlement of an Award.

	(c)
	Satisfying Withholding Tax Obligations with Shares. The Company may, in the discretion of the Committee, permit the Grantee to satisfy all or any portion of the Company’s or any of its Affiliates’ obligations for withholding Taxes in respect of an Award by deducting from the shares of Class A Common Stock the Grantee would otherwise receive a number of shares having a fair market value equal to the amount of withholding Taxes that are payable (using the minimum statutory rates of withholding for purposes of determining such amount). The Grantee agrees that delivery of a number of shares of Class A Common Stock net of the amount deducted for purposes of satisfying withholding Tax obligations shall be full settlement of the Award for all purposes.

	Non Transferability. The Grantee shall not sell, assign, exchange, transfer (other than by will or the laws of descent or distribution), pledge, charge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of or encumber the Award or the Restricted Stock Units.

The Company shall not be liable to the Grantee or its representative for any damages relating from any delays in recording the issuance and delivery of shares to the Grantee in the records of the Company or its transfer agent or any mistakes or errors connected therewith.

The Parent and the Manager each hereby agree that in the
performance of this Agreement, any Supervision Agreement or any Shipmanagement Agreement, the Manager or, as the case may be, any

required to the Draft Budget pursuant to Section 10.2, the Manager will prepare and deliver to the Parent a revised budget that
has been approved by the Executive Officers (the “Approved Budget”). However, the Parent acknowledges that the
Approved Budget is only an estimate of the performance of the Vessels and/or the Group and the Manager makes no assurance, representation
or warranty that the actual performance of the Vessels and/or the Group in any relevant calendar year will correspond to the estimates
contained in the Approved Budget for that calendar year. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.2 and this Section 10.3,
the Approved

    	 

    		20

    

Budget for the 2015 calendar year shall be the
2015 revised budget that has been previously approved by the Executive Officers pursuant to the Original Agreement.

 

SECTION 10.4. The Manager may, from time to time,
in any calendar year propose amendments to the Approved Budget upon 15 days notice to the Parent, in which event the Executive
Officers will have the right to approve the amendments in accordance with the process set out in Section 10.2 with the relevant
time periods being amended accordingly.

 

SECTION 10.5. Once the Approved Budget has been
delivered, the Manager shall prepare and present to the Parent its estimate of the working capital requirements of the Vessels
and the Group and the Manager shall each month update this estimate. Based thereon, the Manager shall each month make a request
to the Parent and/or, as the case may be, the relevant members of the Group, in writing for the funds required to provide the Services
to the Group and to operate each Vessel for the ensuing month, including the payment of any occasional or extraordinary item of
expenditure, such as emergency repair costs, additional insurance premiums, bunkers or provisions. The Manager may also make a
request in writing to the Parent and/or, as the case may be, the relevant members of the Group, at any time for funds required
for the payment of any occasional or extraordinary item of expenditure, such as emergency repair costs, additional insurance premiums,
bunkers or provisions. Such funds shall be received by the Manager within ten calendar days after the receipt by the Parent or,
as the case may be, the relevant member of the Group of the Manager’s written request and shall be held in a separate bank
account in the name of the Manager or, if requested by the Manager, in the name of the Parent or of the relevant member of the
Group.

 

At the end of each quarter or, if the Manager from time to time
so requires, month, the Manager shall preliminarily reconcile the amounts advanced to it by the Parent or, as the case may be,
the relevant member of the Group, with the amounts actually expended by it for the operation of each of the Vessels and/or the
Group, and (a) the Manager shall remit to the Parent, or credit to the Parent amounts to be advanced to it hereunder for future
months, any unused portion of the amounts previously advanced by the Parent or, as the case may be, the relevant member of the
Group, or (b) the Parent shall pay to the Manager any amounts properly expended by the Manager in excess of the amounts previously
advanced by the Parent or, as the case may be, the relevant member of the Group. The Parent and the Manager shall reconcile any
amounts due to the Parent by the Manager or due to the Manager by the Parent for each fiscal year of the Parent as promptly as
practicable following the close of each such fiscal year. Without prejudice to Section 10.8, any expenses incurred by the Manager
under the terms of this Agreement on behalf of any member of the Group may be debited against the account of the respective member
of the Group, but shall in any event remain payable by the Parent and the relevant member of the Group to the Manager on demand.

 

SECTION 10.6. The Manager shall also maintain
the records of all costs and expenses incurred, including any invoices, receipts and supplementary materials as are necessary or
proper for the settlement of accounts.

    	 

    		21

    

SECTION 10.7. Insofar as any moneys are collected
from third parties by the Manager under the terms of this Agreement, any Shipmanagement Agreement and/or any Supervision Agreement
(other than moneys payable by a member of the Group to the Manager), such moneys and any interest thereon shall be held to the
credit of the relevant member of the Group in a separate bank account in the name thereof. Interest on any such bank account shall
be for the benefit of the relevant member of the Group.

 

SECTION 10.8. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, the Manager shall in no circumstances be required to use or commit its own funds to finance the provision
of the Services.

 

SECTION 10.9. To the extent that a Related Manager
has been appointed in accordance with the terms of Section 2.4, it is agreed by the Parent and the Manager for the benefit of such
Related Manager that the provisions of Article X shall apply to such Related Manager as if such provisions were repeated herein,
but with references to:

 

(a) the “Manager” being
deemed as references to the relevant Related Manager;

 

(b) the “Services” being
deemed as references to the services to be performed by such Related Manager under the relevant management agreement;

 

(c) the “Vessels” being
deemed as references to the Vessels being managed by such Related Manager under a management agreement entered into directly with
the relevant Group members;

 

(d) the “Parent” being deemed
as references to the relevant Group members; and

 

(e) references to “this Agreement,
any Shipmanagement Agreement and/or any Supervision Agreement” being deemed as references to any management agreement signed

to the other for any failure to perform any of their obligations hereunder by reason of Force Majeure. “Force Majeure”
shall mean any cause whatsoever of any nature or kind beyond the reasonable control of the relevant member of the Group or the

shall be under no liability whatsoever to any member of the Group or to any third party (including the Crew) for any loss, damage,
delay or expense of whatsoever nature, whether direct or indirect (including but not limited to loss of profit arising out of or
in connection with detention of or delay to a Vessel), and howsoever arising in the course of the performance of this Agreement,
any Shipmanagement Agreement or any Supervision Agreement, unless and to the extent that the same is proved to have resulted solely
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Manager, its officers, employees, agents, sub-contractors or any Submanager.

 

SECTION 11.3. Notwithstanding anything that may
appear to the contrary in this Agreement or any Shipmanagement Agreement, the Manager shall not be liable for any of the actions
of the Crew, even if such actions are negligent, grossly negligent or willful, except only to the extent that they are shown to
have resulted from a failure by the Manager to discharge its obligations under clause 3.1 of each Shipmanagement Agreement, in
which case the Manager’s liability shall be limited in accordance with the terms of this Article XI.

 

SECTION 11.4. The Parent shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Manager Related Parties against all actions, proceedings, claims, demands or liabilities whatsoever or howsoever
arising which may be brought against them or incurred or suffered by them arising out of or in connection with the performance

or expense of whatsoever nature (including legal costs and expenses on a full indemnity basis), whether direct or indirect, incurred
or suffered by any Manager Related Party arising out of or in connection with the performance of this Agreement, any Shipmanagement
Agreement and any Supervision Agreement, unless incurred or suffered due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Manager
Related Party.

 

SECTION 11.5. It is hereby expressly agreed that
no employee or agent of the Manager (including any sub-contractor from time to time employed by the Manager) shall in any circumstances
whatsoever be under any liability whatsoever to any member of the Group or any third party for any loss, damage or delay of whatsoever
kind arising or resulting directly or indirectly from any act, neglect or default on his part while acting in the course of or
in connection with his employment or agency and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing provisions in this Article
XI, every exemption, limitation, condition and liberty herein contained and every right, exemption from liability, defense and
immunity of whatsoever nature applicable to the Manager or to which the Manager is entitled hereunder shall also be available and
shall extend to protect every such employee or agent of the Manager acting as aforesaid, and for the purpose of all the foregoing
provisions of this Article XI, the Manager is or shall be deemed to be acting as agent or trustee on behalf of and for the benefit
of all persons who are or might be the Manager’s servants or agents from time to time (including sub-contractors as aforesaid)
and all such persons shall to this extent be or be deemed to be

    	 

    		23

    

parties to this Agreement. Nothing in this Section
11.5 shall be construed so as to further limit any liability the Manager may have to the Group under Section 11.2.

 

SECTION 11.6. The provisions of this Article
XI shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 12.1. Except as may be provided in this
Agreement or in any separate written agreement between the Parent or any other member of the Group and the Manager or a Submanager,
the Manager and any Submanager shall be an independent contractor and not the agent of the Parent or any other member of the Group
and shall have no right or authority to incur any obligation on behalf of any member of the Group or to bind any member of the
Group in any way whatsoever. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to make the Manager or any Submanager or any of their subsidiaries

SECTION 12.2. The Parent acknowledges that the
Manager or, as the case may be, any Submanager shall have no responsibility hereunder, direct or indirect, with regard to the formulation
of the business plans, policies, management or strategies (financial, tax, legal or otherwise) of any member of the Group, which
is solely the responsibility of each respective member of the Group. Each member of the Group shall set its corporate policies
independently through its respective board of directors and executive officers and nothing contained herein shall be construed
to relieve such directors or officers of each respective member of the Group from the performance of their duties or to limit the
exercise of their powers.

 

SECTION 12.3. Notwithstanding the other provisions
of this Agreement:

 

(a) the Manager or, as the case may
be, any Submanager may act with respect to a member of the Group upon any advice, resolutions, requests, instructions, recommendations,
direction or information obtained from such member of the Group or any banker, accountant, broker, lawyer or other person acting
as agent of or adviser to such member of the Group and the Manager or, as the case may be, the relevant Submanager shall incur
no liability to such member of the Group for anything done or omitted or suffered in good faith in reliance upon such advice, instruction,
resolution, recommendation, direction or information made or given by such member of the Group or its agents, in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Manager or, as the case may be, the relevant Submanager or their respective servants,
and shall not be responsible for any misconduct, mistake, oversight, error of judgment, neglect, default, omission, forgetfulness
or

    	 

    		24

    

want of prudence on the part of any such
banker, accountant, broker, lawyer, agent or adviser or other person as aforesaid;

 

(b) the Manager or, as the case may
be, a Submanager shall not be under any obligation to carry out any request, resolution, instruction, direction or recommendation
of any member of the Group or its agents if the performance thereof is or would be illegal or unlawful; and

 

(c) the Manager or, as the case may
be, the relevant Submanager shall incur no liability to any member of the Group for doing or failing to do any act or thing which
it shall be required to do or perform or forebear from doing or performing by reason of any provision of any law or any regulation
or resolution made pursuant thereto or any decision, order or judgment of any court or any lawful request, announcement or similar
action of any person or body exercising or purporting to exercise the legitimate authority of any government or of any central
or local governmental institution in each case where the above entity has jurisdiction.

	 	 	been reached with her underwriters in respect of her	486
	 	 	constructive, compromised or arranged total loss or if such	487

	 	19.1 This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations	502
	 	connected with it shall be governed by and construed in	 
	 	accordance with English law. All disputes arising out of this	503
	 	Agreement and/or any non-contractual obligations connected	 
	 	with it shall be arbitrated in London in the following manner.	 
	 	One arbitrator is to be appointed by each of the parties hereto	 
	 	and a third by the two so chosen. Their decision or that of any	 
	 	two of them shall be final. The arbitrators shall be commercial	 
	 	persons, conversant with shipping matters. Such arbitration is	 
	 	to be conducted in accordance with the London Maritime	 
	 	Arbitration Association (LMAA) Terms current at the time when	 
	 	the arbitration proceedings are commenced and in accordance	 
	 	with the Arbitration Act 1996 or any statutory modification or re-	 
	 	enactment thereof. In the event that a party hereto shall state a	 
	 	dispute and designate an arbitrator in writing, the other party	 
	 	shall have 10 Business Days to designate its own arbitrator. If	 
	 	such other party fails to designate its own arbitrator within such	 
	 	period, the arbitrator appointed by the first party can render an	 
	 	award hereunder. Until such time as the arbitrators finally close	 
	 	the hearings, either party shall have the right by written notice	 
	 	served on the arbitrators and on the other party to specify	 
	 	further disputes or differences under this Agreement for hearing	 
	 	and determination. The arbitrators may grant any relief, and	 
	 	render an award, which they or a majority of them deem just and	 
	 	equitable and within the scope of this Agreement, including but	 
	 	not limited to the posting of security. Awards pursuant to this	 
	 	Clause 19.1 may include costs and judgments may be entered	 
	 	upon any award made herein in any court having jurisdiction.	 
	 	and any dispute arising out of or	 
	 	in connection with this Agreement shall be referred to arbitration	504

    	 

    	

    

	 	in London in accordance with the Arbitration Act 1996 or	505
	 	any statutory modification or re-enactment thereof save to	506
	 	the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions of this	507
	 	Clause.	508
	 	The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the	509
	 	London Maritime Arbitrators Association (LMAA) Terms	510
	 	current at the time when the arbitration proceedings are	511
	 	commenced.	512
	 	The reference shall be to three arbitrators. A party wishing	513
	 	to refer a dispute to arbitration shall appoint its arbitrator	514
	 	and send notice of such appointment in writing to the other	515
	 	party requiring the other party to appoint its own arbitrator	516
	 	within 14 calendar days of that notice and stating that it will	517
	 	appoint its arbitrator as sole arbitrator unless the other party	518
	 	appoints its own arbitrator and gives notice that it has done	519
	 	so within the 14 days specified. If the other party does not	520
	 	appoint its own arbitrator and give notice that it has done so	521
	 	within the 14 days specified, the part referring a dispute to	522
	 	arbitration may, without the requirement of any further prior	523
	 	notice to the other party, appoint its arbitrator as sole	524
	 	arbitrator and shall advise the other party accordingly. The	525
	 	award of a sole arbitrator shall be binding on both parties	526
	 	as if he had been appointed by agreement.	527
	  	Nothing herein shall prevent the parties agreeing in writing	528
	 	to vary these provisions to provide for the appointment of a	529
	 	sole arbitrator.	530
	 	In cases where neither the claim nor any counterclaim	531
	 	exceeds the sum of USD50,000 (or such other sum as the	532
	 	parties may agree) the arbitration shall be conducted in	533
	 	accordance with the LMAA Small Claims Procedure current	534
	 	at the time when the arbitration proceedings are commenced.	535
	 	19.2 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed	536
	 	in accordance with Title 9 of the United States code and	537
	 	the Maritime Law of the United States and any dispute	538

	 	arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be	539
	 	referred to three persons at New York, one to be appointed	540
	 	by each of the parties hereto, and the third by the two so	541
	 	chosen; their decision or that of any two of them shall be	542
	 	final, and for the purposes of enforcing any award,	543
	 	judgement may be entered on an award by any court of	544
	 	competent jurisdiction. The proceedings shall be conducted	545
	 	in accordance with the rules of the Society of Maritime	546
	 	Arbitrators, Inc.	547
	 	In cases where neither the claim nor any counterclaim	548
	 	exceeds the sum of USD50,000 (or such other sum as the	549
	 	parties may agree) the arbitration shall be conducted in	550
	 	accordance with the Shortened Arbitration Procedure of the	551
	 	Society of Maritime Arbitrators, Inc. current at the time when	552
	 	the arbitration proceedings are commenced.	553
	 	19.3 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed	554
	 	in accordance with the laws of the place mutually agreed by	555
	 	the parties and any dispute arising out of or in connection	556
