Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Merger Agreement

On December 20, 2017, Gener8 Maritime, Inc., a Marshall Islands corporation (“Gener8” or the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Euronav NV, a Belgian corporation (“Euronav”), and Euronav MI Inc., a Marshall Islands corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Euronav (“Merger Sub”).  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the closing, Merger Sub will merge with and into Gener8, with Gener8 surviving (the “Surviving Corporation”) as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Euronav (the “Merger”).

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Gener8 (“Gener8 Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Gener8 Common Stock owned by (i)  Gener8 or its subsidiaries or (ii) Euronav, Merger Sub or their respective subsidiaries (“Specified Gener8 Common Stock”)), will be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive 0.7272 ordinary shares (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), no par value, of Euronav (“Euronav Shares”).

At the Effective Time, each then outstanding restricted stock unit representing the right to earn one share of Gener8 Common Stock issued pursuant to Gener8’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, effective June 22, 2015) or otherwise issued or granted by Gener8 (“Gener8 RSU”) will become fully vested and will be terminated and canceled, and will be automatically exchanged for the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration.

The total number of Euronav Shares to be issued pursuant to the foregoing two paragraphs will constitute the merger consideration (“Merger Consideration”) payable by Euronav.

At the Effective Time, each then outstanding option to purchase shares of Gener8 Common Stock issued pursuant to Gener8’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, effective June 22, 2015) or otherwise issued or granted by Gener8 (“Gener8 Stock Option”), whether or not then vested and exercisable, will terminate and be canceled in exchange for the right of the former Gener8 Stock Option holder to be paid by the Surviving Corporation, immediately after the Effective Time, a cash payment equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Gener8 Common Stock subject to such Gener8 Stock Option and (ii) the number represented by (a) the product of (A) the closing price per share of Euronav Shares on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the last trading day prior to the Effective Time and (B) an amount equal to the aggregate Merger Consideration divided by the aggregate number of shares of Gener8 Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time or subject to Gener8 RSUs issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time minus (b) the exercise price applicable to such shares of Gener8 Common Stock subject to such Gener8 Stock Option.  If the number in clause (ii) of the immediately foregoing sentence is a negative number or zero, no consideration will be paid with respect to such Gener8 Stock Option.

The respective boards of directors of Gener8 and Euronav have approved the Merger Agreement, and the board of directors of Gener8 (“Gener8 Board”) and the transaction advisory committee (the “Transaction Committee”) established by the Gener8 Board have agreed to recommend that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Merger, be submitted to Gener8’s shareholders for approval.  Gener8 has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to (and cause its subsidiaries and use reasonable best efforts to cause its and their representatives not to), among other things, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly take any action to facilitate or encourage or assist any inquiries or the making of any acquisition proposal or offer that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to the submission of any acquisition proposal, (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, or furnish any information relating to Gener8 or its subsidiaries or afford access to the business, properties, assets, personnel books or records of Gener8 to any third party with respect to inquiries regarding, or the making of, an acquisition proposal, (iii) qualify, withdraw, or modify or amend in a manner adverse to Euronav, the recommendation of either the Gener8 Board or the Transaction Committee, or recommend any other acquisition proposal or publicly propose to do any of the foregoing (an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), (iv) approve, endorse, recommend, enter into (or agree or publicly propose to any of the foregoing) any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement relating to an acquisition proposal, with the exception of a confidentiality agreement with a permitted third party, or (v) grant any waiver, amendment or release under any standstill or confidentiality agreement or takeover statute or provision contained in Gener8’s charter documents

2

other than a waiver of the obligations of third parties existing as of the date of the Merger Agreement not to seek from Gener8 any waiver of such third parties’ standstill obligations and granting a limited waiver if requested solely to enable such third parties to make an acquisition proposal to the Gener8 Board.  However, the Gener8 Board and the Transaction Committee may, subject to certain conditions, make an Adverse Recommendation Change if, in connection with the receipt of an acquisition proposal, the Gener8 Board or the Transaction Committee determine in good faith that (i) such acquisition proposal constitutes a superior proposal and (ii) a failure of the Gener8 Board or the Transaction Committee to take such action is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to Gener8’s shareholders under applicable law.  In addition, the Gener8 Board and the Transaction Committee may, subject to certain exceptions and conditions, make an Adverse Recommendation Change if, in connection with a material fact, event, chance, development or set of circumstances (other than an acquisition proposal) affecting the business, assets or operations of Gener8 and occurring after the date of the Merger Agreement that was not known or reasonably foreseeable by the Gener8 Board or the Transaction Committee as of or prior to the date of the Merger Agreement, it determines in good faith that a failure of the Gener8 Board or the Transaction Committee to take such action is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to Gener8’s shareholders under applicable law.

Gener8 has agreed to convene and hold a meeting of shareholders to vote on the Merger even if the Gener8 Board or the Transaction Committee make an Adverse Recommendation Change.  The completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including:  (i) approval of the Merger Agreement by Gener8’s shareholders (“Gener8 Shareholder Approval”), (ii) approval for listing the Euronav Shares forming part of the Merger Consideration on NYSE, (iii) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form F-4 that is not subject to any stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof or any proceedings seeking any such stop order, (iv) there being no applicable law preventing or prohibiting the consummation of the Merger in effect, (iv) subject to specified materiality standards, the accuracy and truthfulness of the representations and warranties of the parties, (v) required approvals of the Merger under any applicable antitrust law are obtained, (vi) compliance by the parties in all material respects with their respective covenants, (vii) receipt of certain required third party consents, (viii) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to either party, (ix) delivery of an officer’s closing certificate by either party, and (x) receipt by Gener8 of certain reports from the Euronav board of directors and Euronav’s auditors required under Belgian law in connection with the capital increase relating to the issuance of the Merger Consideration.  The completion of the Merger is not conditioned on receipt of financing by Euronav.

Gener8 and Euronav have made customary representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement.  The Merger Agreement also contains customary covenants and agreements, including covenants and agreements relating to (i) the conduct of each of Gener8’s and Euronav’s respective businesses between the date of the signing of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and (ii) the efforts of the parties to cause the Merger to be completed.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time (i) by the mutual written consent of both parties, (ii) by either party if (a) the Merger has not been consummated prior to June 30, 2018 (as it may be extended pursuant to the Merger Agreement), (b) the Gener8 Shareholder Approval is not obtained after a vote has been taken and completed, or (c) there is any applicable law prohibiting Gener8, Euronav or Merger Sub to consummate the Merger and such prohibition is final and nonappealable, (iii) by Euronav if (a) an Adverse Recommendation Change has occurred, (b) Gener8 has entered into a binding agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement relating to an acquisition proposal) or(c) prior to the taking of a vote to obtain Gener8 Shareholder Approval, Gener8 intentionally and materially breaches any of its non-solicitation obligations under the Merger Agreement, (iv) by Gener8 if Euronav fails to perform any covenant or agreement or any representation or warranty of Euronav or Merger Sub is untrue and in either case such failure is not been cured the earlier of the End Date and twenty days after the giving of written notice to Euronav of such failure and (v) by Euronav if Gener8 fails to perform any covenant or agreement (other than the non-solicitation obligations) or any representation or warranty of Gener8 is untrue and in either case such failure has not been cured by the earlier of the End Date and twenty days after the giving of written notice to Gener8 of such failure.

The Merger Agreement provides that Gener8 may be required to pay Euronav a termination fee equal to $39 million if (i) the Merger Agreement is terminated by Gener8 or Euronav because the Merger has not been consummated by June 30, 2018 (“End Date”) (as it may be extended pursuant to the Merger Agreement) and the Merger Agreement could have been terminated by Euronav as a result of (a) an Adverse Recommendation Change having occurred, (b) Gener8 entering into a binding agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement relating to an acquisition proposal), or (c) prior to the taking of a vote to obtain Gener8 Shareholder Approval, Gener8 has intentionally and materially breached any of its non-solicitation obligations under the Merger Agreement; (ii) the Merger Agreement is terminated by Euronav pursuant to clauses (i)(a) through (i)(c) of this paragraph; or (iii) the

3

Merger Agreement is terminated (a)(1) by Euronav or Gener8 because the Gener8 Shareholder Approval is not obtained after a vote has been taken and completed and prior to the taking of such vote to obtain Gener8 Shareholder Approval an acquisition proposal is publicly disclosed for the first time after the date of the Merger Agreement and has not have been withdrawn, or (2) by Euronav because Gener8 has failed to perform any covenant or agreement (other than the non-solicitation obligations) and such failure has not been cured by the earlier of the End Date and twenty days after the giving of written notice to Gener8 of such failure, and prior to termination an acquisition proposal is publicly disclosed for the first time after the date of the Merger Agreement and has not have been withdrawn, and (b) prior to the first anniversary of the date of termination Gener8 enters into a definitive agreement with respect to any acquisition proposal or any such acquisition proposal shall have been consummated.

The Merger Agreement permits Company to enter into the following compensation arrangements with its directors and officers. Peter Georgiopoulos, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company will receive, in addition to any severance payments to which he is entitled under his existing agreements with the Company, a transaction bonus of $3,250,000 upon closing of the Merger (subject to reduction so that the “present value,” as determined under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, of such payments plus any other “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code will not, in the aggregate, exceed one dollar less than three times Mr. Georgiopoulos’ “base amount”  as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code) and a pro rata bonus for 2018 through the date of his termination based on an annualized amount of $1,125,000.  The Company is permitted to enter into a consulting services agreement with Mr. Georgiopoulos terminating on the first anniversary of his termination from the Company under which he will receive base compensation of $750,000 and a bonus of $1,125,000 minus the pro rata bonus described in the previous sentence. The Company is permitted to waive any non-competition provisions in in any agreement between the Company and Mr. Georgiopoulos, as of the signing of the Merger Agreement.

Leonard Vrondissis, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company will receive in addition to any severance payments to which he is entitled under his existing agreements with the Company, a transaction bonus of $2,500,000 upon closing of the Merger.  The Company is permitted to enter into a consulting services agreement with Mr. Vrondissis under which he will receive base compensation of $425,000 (annualized) and a bonus equal to the pro rata portion of $575,000 (annualized). The Company is permitted to waive any non-competition provisions in in any agreement between the Company and Mr. Vrondissis, as of the closing of the Merger.

Milton Gonzales, Manager and Technical Director of Gener8 Maritime Management LLC will receive, in addition to any payments payable to him from the Company as a result of the Merger under his existing arrangements with the Company, a transaction bonus of $250,000.  The Company is permitted to waive any non-competition provisions in in any agreement between the Company and Mr. Gonzales, as of the closing of the Merger.  The Company is permitted to waive any non-competition provisions in any agreement (i) between the Company and John Tavlarios, Chief Operating Officer of the Company and (ii) between the Company and Sean Bradley, Manager and Commercial Director of Gener8 Maritime Management LLC, in each case as of the closing of the Merger.

The Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated by reference.  The foregoing summary has been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement, and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.  The summary is not intended to provide any other factual information about Gener8, Euronav or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates.  The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties by each of the parties to the Merger Agreement, which were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specified dates.  The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement; are subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts; and are subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that may differ from those applicable to investors.  Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Gener8, Euronav or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.  Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Gener8’s public disclosures.

Letter Agreement with BlueMountain Capital Management LLC

On December 20, 2017, in connection with its entry into the Merger Agreement, Gener8 and certain affiliates of, and funds managed by, BlueMountain Capital Management, LLC (collectively, the “BlueMountain Holders”) entered into a Letter Agreement (the “Prepayment Letter Agreement”), regarding that certain Note and Guarantee Agreement, originally dated as of March 28, 2014 (as amended, modified and supplemented from time to time, the “Note and Guarantee Agreement”) and the notes issued thereunder and held by the BlueMountain Holders (the “Notes”).

The Prepayment Letter Agreement provides that (i) the prepayment premium that would otherwise be payable upon a prepayment of the principal amount of the Notes prior to May 13, 2019, will be reduced to an agreed premium equal to 1.00% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes prepaid to the BlueMountain Holders at such time, and (ii) Gener8 will prepay the entire principal amount of the Notes, along with all accrued interest and any other amounts owing in respect of the Notes (including the 1.0% prepayment premium) contemporaneously with the consummation of the Merger.  The Prepayment Letter Agreement also provides for a shorter notice period for the delivery of a prepayment notice by Gener8 to the BlueMountain Holders prior to the prepayment of the Notes, and for a “per diem” mechanism to calculate the additional required interest in the event that prepayment of the Notes is effected after the anticipated prepayment date.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Prepayment Letter Agreement, which is attached hereto and filed as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Voting Agreement

On December 20, 2017, in connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement, Euronav and certain shareholders of Gener8 (the “Covered Shareholders”) entered into a Shareholder Support and Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”).

The Voting Agreement requires the Covered Shareholders to (i) appear (in person or by proxy) at any meeting of the shareholders convened for the purpose of approving the Merger and the Merger Agreement and (ii) provided that neither the Transaction Committee nor the Gener8 Board have made an Adverse Recommendation Change, vote the shares covered by the Voting Agreement (the “Covered Shares”) in favor of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and against any action that would reasonably be expected to impede the Merger or result in a breach of the Merger Agreement or the Voting Agreement.  If either the Transaction Committee or the Gener8 Board does make an Adverse Recommendation Change, then the Covered Shareholders will each vote half of their Covered Shares in favor of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and may vote their remaining Covered Shares in any manner they determine.

A group of shareholders, representing approximately 48% of the issued and outstanding shares of Gener8, including certain current directors of Gener8, have committed or are expected to commit shortly to vote in favor of this merger, subject to the terms and conditions contained in voting agreements with Euronav.

Memorandum of Agreement

On December 20, 2017, Gener8 Neptune LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a memorandum of agreement for the sale of a 2015-built VLCC vessel known as the Gener8 Neptune to Euronav for a purchase price of $72.5 million (the “Neptune MoA”); Gener8 Athena LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a memorandum of agreement for the sale of a 2015-built VLCC vessel known as the Gener8 Athena to Euronav for a purchase price of $72.8 million (the “Athena MoA”); and Gener8 Hera LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a memorandum of agreement for the sale of a 2016-built VLCC vessel known as the Gener8 Hera to Euronav for a purchase price of $75.6 million (the “Hera MoA” and together with the Neptune MoA and Athena MoA, the “MoAs”). The purchase price under the MoAs may be reduced by any termination fee payable by Gener8, as more fully described above.

The rights and obligations of the parties under the MoAs for the sale and purchase of the vessels are conditioned on the Merger Agreement being terminated (the date of which being referred to as the “Effective Date”) and each of the MoAs will be null and void in the event that the Merger is completed. Each seller is obligated to deliver the relevant ship no earlier than 60 days’ after the Effective Date but no later than 120 days’ after the Effective Date. No

5

deposit is required from the buyers under the MoAs, and the entire purchase price for each vessel will become due when the vessel is delivered. In the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated as a result of a breach by Euronav, each seller will have the right to terminate the relevant MoA at their sole discretion.

The risk of loss or damage to the ship remains with the seller until the ship is delivered to and accepted by the buyer. Each seller gives a number of warranties with regards to OFAC, other sanctions, the Arab Boycott League, MARPOL and other regulations. The sales and purchases are also subject to the completion of customary additional documentation and closing conditions.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Matters discussed in this Form 8-K may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”) provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. Gener8 desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words “believe”, “anticipate”, “intends”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “project”, “plan”, “potential”, “may”, “should”, “expect”, “pending” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, including without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in company records and other data available from third parties. Although management believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond the companies’ control, there can be no assurance that Gener8 will accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.

In addition to these important factors, other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the ability of Euronav and Gener8 to successfully complete the proposed merger on anticipated terms and timing or at all, including obtaining required shareholder and regulatory approvals, fluctuations in market prices of Euronav’s stock; the Merger’s effect on the relationships of Euronav or Gener8 with their respective customers and suppliers, whether or not the Merger is completed; Euronav’s shareholders’ and Gener8’s shareholders’ reduction in their percentage ownership and voting power; the challenges presented by the integration of Euronav and Gener8; the ability to realize anticipated growth, synergies and cost savings; the uncertainty of third-party approvals; the significant transaction and merger-related integration costs; loss or reduction in business from Euronav’s or Gener8’s significant customers or the significant customers of the commercial pools in which Euronav and Gener8 participate; changes in the values of Euronav’s and Gener8’s vessels, newbuildings or other assets; the failure of Euronav’s or Gener8’s significant customers, shipyards, pool managers or technical managers to perform their obligations owed to Euronav or Gener8; the loss or material downtime of significant vendors and service providers; Euronav’s or Gener8’s failure, or the failure of the commercial pools in which Euronav and Gener8 participate, to successfully implement a profitable chartering strategy; termination or change in the nature of Euronav’s or Gener8’s relationship with any of the commercial pools in which they participate; changes in demand for Euronav’s and Gener8’s services; a material decline or prolonged weakness in rates in the tanker market;  changes in production of or demand for oil and petroleum products, generally or in particular regions; greater than anticipated levels of tanker newbuilding orders or lower than anticipated rates of tanker scrapping; adverse weather and natural disasters, acts of piracy, terrorist attacks and international hostilities and instability; changes in rules and regulations applicable to the tanker industry, including, without limitation, legislation adopted by international organizations such as the International Maritime Organization and the European Union or by individual countries; actions taken by regulatory authorities; actions by the courts, the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Department of Justice or other governmental authorities and the results of the legal proceedings to which Euronav or Gener8 or any of their vessels may be subject; changes in trading patterns significantly impacting overall tanker tonnage requirements; any non-compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 or other applicable regulations relating to bribery; the highly cyclical nature of Euronav’s and Gener8’s industry;  changes in the typical seasonal variations in tanker charter rates; changes in the cost of other

6

modes of oil transportation; changes in oil transportation technology; increases in costs including without limitation: crew wages, fuel, insurance, provisions, repairs and maintenance; the adequacy of insurance to cover Euronav’s and Gener8’s losses, including in connection with maritime accidents or spill events; changes in general political conditions; changes in the condition of Euronav’s and Gener8’s vessels or applicable maintenance or regulatory standards (which may affect, among other things, Euronav’s and Gener8’s anticipated drydocking or maintenance and repair costs);  changes in the itineraries of Euronav’s and Gener8’s vessels; adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates affecting Euronav’s or Gener8’s expenses;  the fulfillment of the closing conditions under, or the execution of customary additional documentation for, Euronav’s and Gener8’s agreements to acquire vessels and borrow under their existing financing arrangements; the effect of Euronav’s and Gener8’s indebtedness on their ability to finance operations, pursue desirable business operations and successfully run their business in the future; financial market conditions; sourcing, completion and funding of financing on acceptable terms; Euronav’s and Gener8’s ability to generate sufficient cash to service their indebtedness and comply with the covenants and conditions under their debt obligations; the impact of electing to take advantage of certain exemptions applicable to emerging growth companies; other factors listed from time to time in the Company’s filings with SEC, including, without limitation, Gener8’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and its subsequent reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K and Euronav’s Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and its subsequent reports on Form 6-K.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on Euronav’s and Gener8’s forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are and will be based upon management’s then-current views and assumptions regarding future events and operating performance, and are applicable only as of the dates of such statements. Neither Euronav nor Gener8 assumes any duty to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, as of any future date.

14

event no later than the date that is five (5) Business Days after the date the conditions set forth in Article IX (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver of those conditions at the Closing) have been satisfied or, to the extent permissible, waived by the Party or Parties entitled to the benefit of such conditions; or (ii) at such other place, at such other time or on such other date as the Parties may mutually agree in writing.  The date on which the Closing actually takes place and is completed (including the Contribution in Kind and issuance of the Merger Consideration to the Exchange Agent in the name and on behalf of and for the account and benefit of the Company Common Shareholders and the holders of Company RSUs) is referred to as the “Closing Date”.  At the Closing, and immediately following the filing of the Articles of Merger as contemplated by Section 2.1(c), the Parties shall duly execute the Notarial Deed before the Belgian notary public.

(c)Effective Time.  At the Closing, the Company and Merger Sub shall cause to be filed articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”) with the Registrar or Deputy Registrar of Corporations of the Republic of the Marshall Islands and make all other filings or recordings required by the MIBCA in connection with the Merger.  The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Articles of Merger are duly filed with the Registrar or Deputy Registrar of Corporations of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (or at such later time as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties and specified in the Articles of Merger in accordance with the MIBCA) (the time the Merger becomes effective, the “Effective Time”).

(d)Effects of the Merger.  The Merger will have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the MIBCA.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the properties, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and purposes of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation and all debts, claims, obligations, liabilities, restrictions, duties and penalties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, claims, obligations, liabilities, restrictions, duties and penalties of the Surviving Corporation.

ARTICLE III
EFFECT OF THE MERGER

SECTION 3.1.Effect on Capital Stock.  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, any Company Common Shareholder or the holder of any shares of common stock of Merger Sub:

(a)each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Specified Company Shares) shall be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, in the following manner:  first, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Specified Company Shares) shall be automatically converted into one (1) Surviving Corporation Share and to effect such conversion the Surviving Corporation shall deliver to the Exchange Agent, solely in the name and on behalf of and for the account and benefit of the former Company Common Shareholders (other than the holders of Specified Company Shares), a number of Surviving Corporation Shares equal to the total number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (reduced by the number of Specified Company Shares), and second, each such Surviving Corporation Share shall be automatically exchanged for the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.3.  As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in the manner contemplated by Section 3.3;

(b)each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by (i) the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (ii) Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Subsidiaries, shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(c)each share of common stock of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one Surviving Corporation Share; and

(d)notwithstanding the foregoing, if, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding Parent Shares shall have changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any stock dividend or distribution, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, stock consolidation, combination, exchange of shares or other similar change or event then, the Merger Consideration and the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be correspondingly adjusted to reflect such stock dividend or distribution, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, stock consolidation, combination, exchange of shares or other similar change or event.

SECTION 3.2.Effect on Company Stock Options, Company RSUs and Note.

(a)At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of a Company Stock Option, each then outstanding Company Stock Option (whether or not then vested and exercisable) shall terminate and be canceled in exchange for the

16

right of the holder to be paid by the Surviving Corporation, immediately after the Effective Time (and in no event later than five (5) calendar days following the Effective Time), the Option Consideration payable in respect of such Company Stock Option, less any applicable withholding Taxes; provided, however, that if the exercise price applicable to shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option is equal to or greater than the Transaction Value Per Share, such Company Stock Option shall terminate and be canceled in exchange for no consideration.  The Option Consideration paid or payable in accordance with the terms of this Article III shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Stock Options.  From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Company Stock Options that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b)At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of Company RSUs, each then outstanding Company RSU shall become fully vested (including with respect to dividends and other distributions) in accordance with its terms and shall terminate and be canceled and Surviving Corporation Shares equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable under such Company RSU shall be issued to the Exchange Agent (solely in the name and on behalf of for the account and benefit of the former Company RSU holder), and such Surviving Corporation Shares shall be automatically exchanged for the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, less any applicable withholding Taxes, as set forth in Section 3.3(a).  As of the Effective Time, each holder of a Company RSU shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive, in accordance with Section 3.3(d), the Per Share Merger Consideration for the number of shares of Company Common Stock which were issuable to such holder under such Company RSU.

(c)The Company shall take all actions necessary to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.2(a) and Section 3.2(b), including obtaining the requisite board or committee consents and taking all actions necessary or appropriate under the Company Incentive Plan and/or applicable award agreements.

(d)On or prior to the date hereof, the Company has entered into a letter agreement with certain Affiliates of BlueMountain Capital Management, LLC (collectively, “BlueMountain”) providing that (i) the repayment premium that would otherwise be payable upon a prepayment of the notes issued under that certain Note and Guarantee Agreement, originally dated as of March 28, 2014, by and among the Company, Gener8 Maritime Subsidiary V Inc. (formerly known as VLCC Acquisition I Corporation) and BlueMountain (as the purchasers of notes thereunder) (the “Note and Guarantee Agreement”) shall be reduced to a premium equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of the notes prepaid to the holders, and (ii) the principal outstanding amount and all accrued interest and such repayment penalty on the Note and Guarantee Agreement shall be repaid in full to BlueMountain in cash on or prior to the Closing Date of the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Note and Guarantee Agreement (as modified by such letter agreement).  From and after the date hereof until the Closing Date, the Company agrees to give proper notices to elect to pay any interest payments falling due under the Note and Guarantee Agreement in cash (not in kind); provided, however, that in the event that the Company Board reasonably concludes that making any such cash interest payment is reasonably likely to leave the Company without adequate operating liquidity or is otherwise

17

not in the best interest of the Company, then the Company Board may determine that the Company instead elect to make a payment-in-kind of interest otherwise due and payable.

SECTION 3.3.Contribution in Kind to Parent and Delivery of Consideration.

(a)Contribution in Kind.  The appointment of the Exchange Agent to act as agent for the Merger and to, among other things, act as agent in the name and on behalf of and for the account and benefit of the Company Common Shareholders (other than the holders of Specified Company Shares) for the purpose of giving effect to the Contribution in Kind contemplated by this Section 3.3 and delivering the Per Share Merger Consideration to the Company Common Shareholders (other than the holders of Specified Company Shares) and holders of Company RSUs pursuant to the terms of this Article III shall be approved by the shareholders of the Company at the Company Shareholders Meeting.  Parent and the Company shall appoint the Exchange Agent as promptly as practicable after such approval is obtained (but in no event later than the Effective Time).  The exchange agent agreement to be entered into with the Exchange Agent, as directed by the terms of the Agreement and authorized by the approval of the shareholders of the Company at the Company Shareholders Meeting, shall authorize the Exchange Agent to act in the name and on behalf of and for the account and benefit of the Company Common Shareholders (other than the holders of Specified Company Shares) and the holders of Company RSUs to (i) contribute Surviving Corporation Shares to Parent and (ii) accept in their name and on their behalf, in return for such contribution, the Merger Consideration.  As soon as possible on the Closing Date following the Effective Time, and pursuant to the provisions of the BCC, the Exchange Agent (acting as an exchange agent and solely in the name and on behalf of and for the account and benefit of the Company Common Shareholders (other than the holders of Specified Company Shares) and the holders of Company RSUs), shall contribute solely in the name and on behalf of and for the account and benefit of the Company Common Shareholders (other than the holders of Specified Company Shares) and the holders of Company RSUs), all of the issued and outstanding Surviving Corporation Shares that were issued to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 3.1(a) and Section 3.2(b) to Parent as a Contribution in Kind and, in consideration of this Contribution in Kind, Parent shall issue and deliver to the Exchange Agent (solely in the name and on behalf of and for the account and benefit of the Company Common Shareholders (other than the holders of Specified Company Shares) and the holders of Company RSUs), the Merger Consideration (such Parent Shares constituting the Merger Consideration received by the Exchange Agent and other cash or assets received by the Exchange Agent pursuant to the terms hereof for payment to Company Common Shareholders (other than the holders of Specified Company Shares) and holders of Company RSUs are referred to herein as the “Exchange Fund”).  The exchange agent agreement with the Exchange Agent shall provide that, to the extent that there is any shareholders meeting of Parent with a record date occurring during the period of time that the Exchange Agent holds any undistributed Parent Shares in the Exchange Fund (“Undistributed Parent Shares”), the Exchange Agent will not vote any of such Undistributed Parent Shares on any matter presented for a vote at such Parent shareholders meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.  Whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared or made with respect to Parent Shares with a record date for such dividend or distribution after the Closing Date, it shall be paid by Parent to the Exchange Agent with respect to all Undistributed Parent Shares on such record date (and such dividends or distributions shall be added to the Exchange Fund and shall be paid over by the Exchange Agent to the Company Common Shareholders (other than the holders of Specified

18

Company Shares) to which the corresponding Parent Shares receiving such dividends or distributions are distributed by the Exchange Agent upon such Company Common Shareholders’ proper delivery pursuant to Section 3.3(b) of a letter of transmittal and Certificate or Book-Entry Shares).

(b)Company Common Stock.

(i)As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, the Exchange Agent shall mail or otherwise deliver to each Company Common Shareholder whose Company Common Stock was converted into Surviving Corporation Shares and who has the right to receive Per Share Merger Consideration hereunder:  (A) a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which shall specify that, in respect of any Certificate, risk of loss and title shall pass only upon receipt thereof (or of an affidavit in accordance with Section 3.5) by the Exchange Agent or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the Letter of Transmittal, and shall be in such form and have such other customary provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably specify, (B) any notice required pursuant to the MIBCA, and (C) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, held by such Company Common Shareholder.  In the event a Company Common Shareholder does not deliver to the Exchange Agent a duly executed and completed Letter of Transmittal and does not deliver the Certificate(s) or surrender the Book-Entry Shares held by such Company Common Shareholder, such Person shall not be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration relating to such Certificate or Book-Entry Share unless and until such Person delivers a duly executed and completed Letter of Transmittal and Certificate(s) or Book-Entry Shares (or an affidavit in accordance with Section 3.5), as applicable, to the Exchange Agent.  Exchange of any Book-Entry Shares shall be effected in accordance with the Exchange Agent’s customary procedures with respect to securities represented by book entry.  Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.3(b), each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(a) and this Section 3.3.

(ii)Upon the Exchange Agent’s receipt of a duly executed and completed Letter of Transmittal and the surrender of the Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares held by any Company Common Shareholder, the Exchange Agent shall deliver, in accordance with Section 3.1(a), to such Company Common Shareholder an aggregate number of such Parent Shares equal to the sum of such Company Common Shareholder’s Per Share Merger Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock properly surrendered by such Company Common Shareholder pursuant hereto.

(iii)The Per Share Merger Consideration paid or payable and issued or issuable upon the surrender of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Article III shall be paid or payable and issued or issuable in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock.

(c)Transfer Books Closed.  From and after the Effective Time, the transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on

19

the transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Company Common Stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d)Company RSUs.  In the case of Company RSUs, the holder of any such Company RSUs shall receive in exchange therefor the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration into which such Company RSUs have been converted pursuant to Section 3.2(b), to be paid by the Exchange Agent to such holder of Company RSUs on or as soon as practicable after the Effective Time.  The Per Share Merger Consideration paid or payable in accordance with the terms of this Article III shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company RSUs.  Immediately after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Company RSUs that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e)No Fractional Shares.  No fractional Parent Shares shall be issued in connection with the Merger, but in lieu thereof, any Person who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a Parent Share (after aggregating for each particular Certificate or Book-Entry Share all fractional shares of Parent Shares to be received by such Person) shall receive from the Exchange Agent an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, equal to the product of (i) such fraction and (ii) the Parent VWAP.  Following the Closing Date, the Exchange Agent shall sell at then-prevailing prices on the NYSE such number of Parent Shares constituting a portion of the Exchange Fund as represents the aggregate of all fractional entitlements of all Company Common Shareholders (other than the holders of Specified Company Shares) and holders of Company RSUs, with the cash proceeds of such sales to be used by the Exchange Agent to fund the foregoing payments in lieu of fractional shares (and if the proceeds of such share sales by the Exchange Agent are insufficient for such purpose, then Parent shall promptly deliver to the Exchange Agent additional funds in an amount equal to the deficiency required to make all such payments in lieu of fractional shares).  The Parties acknowledge that payment of the cash consideration in lieu of delivering fractional shares was not separately bargained for consideration, but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of simplifying the corporate and accounting complexities that would otherwise be caused by the delivery of fractional Parent Shares.

(f)Undistributed Exchange Fund.  Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the Company Common Shareholders (other than the holders of Specified Company Shares) or the holders of any outstanding Company Stock Options or Company RSUs, for six (6) months after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent, and any such Person, to the extent such Person has not theretofore complied with this Section 3.3 shall thereafter look only to Parent for, and Parent shall remain liable for, the Per Share Merger Consideration or the Option Consideration, as the case may be, to which such Person is entitled pursuant to this Agreement.  Any such portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by the Company Common Shareholders (other than the holders of Specified Company Shares) or the holders of any outstanding Company Stock Options or Company RSUs for five (5) years after the Closing Date (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority) shall, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

20

(i) give to Parent and its Representatives, upon reasonable prior written notice, reasonable access to the offices, properties, books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested in connection with the Parties’ efforts to consummate the Transactions and for baseline inventory and planning assessments by Parent; provided, however, that any such access shall be conducted during normal business hours in a manner not to interfere with the businesses or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries; (ii) furnish to Parent and its Representatives such financial and operating data and other information as such Persons may reasonably request in writing from time to time in connection with the Parties’ efforts to consummate the Transactions; and (iii) instruct the Representatives of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the ship managers and pool managers of Company Vessels to cooperate with Parent in the matters described in clauses (i) and (ii) above.  In accordance with the foregoing, the Company shall permit Parent and its Representatives reasonable access to a sample of Company Vessels when at a port upon reasonable prior written notice and in accordance with reasonable procedures agreed upon by the Company and Parent for baseline inventory and planning assessments by Parent.  When accessing any of the Company Vessels, Parent shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, comply with all safety and security policies or requirements for the applicable Company Vessel.  With respect to this Section 6.3, Parent’s “Representatives” shall be deemed to include the Third Parties disclosed to the Company in connection with the Confidentiality Agreement with whom Parent is negotiating to purchase from the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries up to six Company Vessels for purpose of due diligence on such Company Vessels covering the matters described in Section 6.3 of the Parent Disclosure Letter, including inspections thereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to provide such access or disclose any information if doing so is reasonably likely to (A) result in a waiver of attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or similar privilege or (B) violate any Contract to which it is a party or to which it is subject or applicable Law.

SECTION 6.4.              No Solicitation.

(a)           General Prohibitions.  Except as expressly permitted pursuant to Section 6.4(b), from and after the date hereof and prior to the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.1 and the Closing Date, the Company shall not (and the Company shall (A) cause its Subsidiaries not to and (B) not authorize or permit and shall instruct and use reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives and any of its Subsidiaries’ Representatives not to), directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly take any action to facilitate or encourage or assist any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to the submission of any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, or furnish any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or afford access to the business, properties, assets, personnel, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any Third Party with respect to inquiries regarding, or the making of, an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) qualify, withdraw, or modify or amend in a manner adverse to Parent, the Transaction Committee Recommendation or the Company Board Recommendation (or recommend an Acquisition Proposal), or publicly propose to do any of the foregoing (any of the foregoing in this clause (iii), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), (iv) approve, endorse, recommend or enter into (or agree or publicly propose to do any of the foregoing) any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar instrument relating

(b)           Exceptions.

(i)            Prior to (but not at any time from or after) obtaining the Company Shareholders Approval, if the Company receives a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal from a Third Party after the date hereof (that has not been withdrawn) that did not result from a breach or violation of the provisions of Section 6.4(a) and, prior to taking any action described in clauses (A) and (B) below, (1) the Transaction Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that based on the information then available and after consultation with its financial advisors of nationally recognized reputation, such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, and (2) the Company shall have complied with Section 6.4(c), then the Company may, in response to such Acquisition Proposal, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, (A) engage in negotiations or discussions with such Third Party and its Representatives or financing sources with respect to such Acquisition Proposal and (B) thereafter furnish to such Third Party or its Representatives or financing sources non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a confidentiality agreement (a copy of which shall be promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) provided for informational purposes only to Parent) with such Third Party with terms no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that all written materials provided or made available to such Third Party (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to Parent) is provided or made available to Parent promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) after the time it is provided or made available to such Third Party.

(ii)           Prior to (but not at any time from or after) obtaining the Company Shareholders Approval, the Transaction Committee or the Company Board may, following receipt of or on account of a Superior Proposal, make an Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with such Superior Proposal, if such Superior Proposal did not result from a breach or violation of the provisions of Section 6.4(a), and the Transaction Committee or the Company Board, as applicable, determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors of nationally recognized reputation that, in light of such Superior Proposal, the failure of the Transaction Committee or the Company Board, as applicable, to take such action is

58

reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s shareholders under applicable Law; provided, however, that the Transaction Committee and the Company Board shall not be entitled to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with a Superior Proposal unless (A) the Transaction Committee promptly notifies Parent, in writing at least five (5) Business Days before making an Adverse Recommendation Change (the “Notice Period”), of the intention of the Transaction Committee or the Company Board, as applicable, to take such action with respect to such Superior Proposal, which notice shall state expressly that the Company has received an Acquisition Proposal that the Transaction Committee or the Company Board, as applicable, has determined to be a Superior Proposal and that the Transaction Committee or the Company Board, as applicable, intends to make an Adverse Recommendation Change; (B) the Transaction Committee attaches to such notice the proposed transaction agreements and the identity of the Third Party making such Superior Proposal; (C) during the Notice Period, if requested (orally or in writing) by Parent, the Transaction Committee has engaged, and has directed its Representatives to engage, in negotiations with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to amend this Agreement in such a manner that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal; and (D) following the Notice Period, the Transaction Committee or the Company Board, as applicable, shall have considered in good faith any proposed amendments to this Agreement and determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors of nationally recognized reputation, taking into account any changes to this Agreement made or proposed in writing by Parent, that such Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that, with respect to any applicable Superior Proposal, any amendment to the financial terms or any other material amendment to a term of such Superior Proposal shall require a new written notice by the Transaction Committee and a new Notice Period (except that the Notice Period shall be reduced to seventy-two (72) hours, or if there are less than seventy-two (72) hours prior to the Company Shareholders Meeting, as much notice as is reasonably practicable, and in no event shall the new Notice Periods exceed nine (9) days in the aggregate), and no such Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with such Superior Proposal may be made during any Notice Period.

(iii)          Prior to (but not at any time from or after) obtaining the Company Shareholders Approval, the Transaction Committee or the Company Board may, if there has been an Intervening Event, make an Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with such Intervening Event if the Transaction Committee or the Company Board, as applicable, determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors of nationally recognized reputation that, in light of such Intervening Event, the failure of the Transaction Committee or the Company Board, as applicable, to take such action is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s shareholders under applicable Law; provided, however, that the Transaction Committee and the Company Board shall not be entitled to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with an Intervening Event unless (A) the Company promptly notifies Parent in writing at least three (3) Business Days before making an Adverse Recommendation Change of the intention of the Transaction Committee or Company Board, as applicable, to take such action with respect to such Intervening Event, which notice shall include the material facts underlying the Transaction Committee’s or the Company Board’s determination that an Intervening Event has occurred, and state the reasons that the Transaction Committee or the Company Board, as applicable, intends to make an Adverse Recommendation Change, in reasonable detail, (B) during such three (3)-

59

Business Day period, if requested (orally or in writing) by Parent, the Company has engaged, and has directed its Representatives to engage, in negotiations with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to amend this Agreement in such a manner that an Adverse Recommendation Change is no longer warranted as a result of the Intervening Event, and (C) following such three (3)-Business Day period, the Transaction Committee or the Company Board, as applicable, shall have considered in good faith any proposed amendments to this Agreement and determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors of nationally recognized reputation, taking into account any changes to this Agreement made or proposed in writing by Parent, that the failure of the Transaction Committee or the Company Board, as applicable, to make an Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with such Intervening Event is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s shareholders under applicable Law; provided, that the Company shall not be required to negotiate with Parent in connection with an Adverse Recommendation Change that the Company Board intends to effect in response to an Intervening Event if the Company has already negotiated with Parent in accordance with this Section 6.4(b)(iii) in connection with an Adverse Recommendation Change by the Transaction Committee or the Company Board, as applicable, in response to the same Intervening Event.

(iv)          In addition, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Transaction Committee or the Company Board from complying with Rule 14e-2(a) under the 1934 Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal, or from (A) making legally required disclosures; provided that any Adverse Recommendation Change may only be made in a manner consistent with this Section 6.4, or (B) granting any waiver, amendment or release under any standstill or confidentiality agreement or any Takeover Statute or similar provision contained in the Company Charter Documents.

(c)           Required Notices.  The Company and the Company Board shall not take any of the actions referred to in Section 6.4(b) unless the Company shall have first complied with the applicable requirements of this Section 6.4(c).  The Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) after receipt by the Company (or, if received by any of the Company’s Representatives, after the Company is informed by such Representative) of any Acquisition Proposal or of any inquiries or other communication regarding the making of an Acquisition Proposal, including the material terms and conditions thereof and providing a copy, if applicable, of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements, and the identity of the Person making (or inquiry or communications about) such Acquisition Proposal and its proposed financing sources, if any, and shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a prompt basis (but in any event no later than 24 hours) as to the status (including changes or proposed changes to the material terms) of such Acquisition Proposal.  The Company shall also notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) after receipt by the Company of any request for non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, personnel, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Third Party that has informed the Company that it is considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal.  The Company shall also notify Parent promptly of the Company’s intention to take the actions set forth in clauses (A) or (B) of Section 6.4(b)(i).  The Company agrees that it and its Subsidiaries will not enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Third Party subsequent to the date hereof which prohibits the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with this Section 6.4.

60

(d)           Definition of Superior Proposal.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal (provided that, for the purposes of this definition, references to “15%” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed replaced with references to “50%”) that (i) was not solicited by the Company or any of its Representatives from and after November 20, 2017, (ii) is not subject to any additional financing conditions that are not already contemplated by this Agreement and for which financing has been fully committed or is on hand or the Company Board or the Transaction Committee, as applicable, determines in good faith after considering the advice of its financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation is reasonably probable to be fully financed, and (iii) the Company Board or the Transaction Committee, as applicable, has determined in good faith, after considering the advice of its outside legal counsel and financial advisors of nationally recognized reputation and taking into consideration all of the applicable terms, conditions, impacts and all legal, financial, regulatory, fiduciary and other aspects of such Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board or the Transaction Committee, as applicable, deems in good faith to be relevant, including, to the extent the Company Board or the Transaction Committee, as applicable, deems relevant, the identity of the Person making the Acquisition Proposal, financing, regulatory approvals, shareholder litigation, termination fees, expense reimbursement provisions and the expected timing and risk and likelihood of consummation, would result in a transaction more favorable, from a financial point of view, to the Company’s shareholders than the Transactions provided hereunder (after taking into account and giving effect to any adjustments or amendment to this Agreement proposed by Parent).

(e)           The Company acknowledges and agrees that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.4 by any Subsidiary or Representative of the Company shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.4 by the Company.

SECTION 6.5.              Litigation.

(a)           The Company shall promptly advise Parent of any Action commenced or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against or involving the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any of their respective officers or directors, the Transaction Committee, or any Company Vessel, relating to this Agreement or the Transactions and shall keep Parent informed and consult with Parent regarding the status of such Action on an ongoing basis.  The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate with and give Parent the opportunity to consult with respect to the defense or settlement of any such Action, and shall not agree to any settlement without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(b)           Parent shall promptly advise the Company of any Action commenced or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened against or involving Parent or Merger Sub, any of its Subsidiaries, any of their respective officers or directors, or any Parent Vessels, relating to this Agreement or the Transactions and shall keep the Company informed and consult with the Company regarding the status of such Action on an ongoing basis.  Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate with and give the Company the opportunity to consult with respect to the defense or settlement of any such Action and shall not agree to any settlement without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

61

SECTION 6.6.              Takeover Provisions.  If any Takeover Statute or similar provision contained in the Company Charter Documents shall become or is deemed to be applicable to the Transactions after the date of this Agreement, each of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub and the respective members of their boards of directors and the Transaction Committee shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated herein and otherwise act to eliminate if possible, and otherwise to minimize, the effects of such Takeover Statute, or such similar provision contained in Company Charter Documents, as applicable, on the Transactions.

SECTION 6.7.              Resignation of Company Officers and Directors.  To the extent requested in writing by Parent no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to Parent prior to the Closing written resignations of each officer, director and manager of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which resignations shall be effective as of, and subject to the occurrence of, the Closing.

SECTION 6.8.              Interested Party Transactions.  At or prior to the Closing, (a) the Company shall take all commercially reasonable actions the Company is permitted to take under (and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its controlled-Affiliates to take all commercially reasonable actions such controlled-Affiliates are permitted to take under) the Contracts set forth on Section 6.8 of the Company Disclosure Letter to terminate such Contracts, effective as of the Effective Time, or amend such Contracts so as to eliminate any further liability or obligation of the Company or its Subsidiaries thereunder arising after the Effective Time; and (b) the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a formal written sublease with respect to a currently sub-let portion of its New York offices on substantially the same terms than those contained in the expired sublease, including the right to terminate the sublease upon ninety (90) days’ prior notice.

(c)           Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to either (i) continue to maintain in effect for a period of no less than six (6) years after the Effective Time the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policies (the “D&O Insurance”) in place as of the date hereof or (ii) purchase or provide comparable D&O Insurance for such six (6)-year period from a carrier with comparable or better credit ratings to the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies, in each case, with coverage for the persons who are covered by the Company’s existing D&O Insurance, with terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage at least as favorable (in the aggregate) to the insured individuals as the Company’s existing D&O Insurance with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend for such policies pursuant to this sentence an aggregate premium amount in excess of 250% of the amount per annum the Company paid in its last full fiscal year, which amount is set forth in Section 7.1(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Premium Cap”); provided, further, that if the aggregate premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, for a cost not exceeding the Premium Cap.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the Company’s option and in lieu of the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under the first sentence of this Section 7.1(c), the Company may purchase prior to the Effective Time, a prepaid “tail policy” for a period of no more than six (6) years after the Effective Time with coverage for the persons who are covered by the Company’s existing D&O Insurance, with terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage at least as favorable to the insured individuals as the Company’s existing D&O Insurance with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, in which

63

event Parent shall cease to have any obligations under the first sentence of this Section 7.1(c); provided, that the aggregate premium for such policies shall not exceed the Premium Cap.  In the event the Company elects to purchase such a “tail policy,” Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain such “tail policy” in full force and effect and continue to honor its obligations thereunder.

(e)           The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Section 7.1 shall be in addition to any rights such Person may have under the Company Group Charter Documents (or successor company documents), under the MIBCA or any other applicable Law or under any agreement of any Indemnified Person with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  These rights shall survive consummation of the Merger and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person.

SECTION 7.2.              Stock Exchange Listing.  Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all actions, including drafting the EU Listing Prospectus and the NYSE Supplemental Listing Application, and do all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of the NYSE and Euronext to ensure that the Parent Shares comprising the Merger Consideration are approved for listing, subject to completion of the Merger and official notice of issuance, on the NYSE prior to or as of the Closing Date and on Euronext as of or as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, and the Company shall cooperate with Parent with respect to such approvals.

SECTION 7.3.              Parent Board Seat.  Parent shall take all actions necessary so that Mr. Steve Smith (a current director of the Company) or, if Mr. Steve Smith is unavailable then another Person designated by the Transaction Committee that is reasonably satisfactory to Parent, is nominated and proposed for election by Parent’s corporate governance and nomination committee to the Parent Board at the next annual Parent shareholders meeting.

SECTION 7.4.              Merger Sub.  Parent shall take all actions necessary to (a) cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Transaction on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and (b) ensure that, prior to the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall not conduct any business or make any investments other than as specifically contemplated by this Agreement.

COVENANTS OF PARENT AND THE COMPANY

SECTION 8.1.              Proxy Statement; Registration Statement; Company Shareholders Meeting.

(a)           As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall jointly prepare, and Parent shall file with the SEC, a registration statement on Form F-4 to register, under the 1933 Act, the Parent Shares issuable in the Transactions (together with all amendments supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Registration Statement”), which shall include a prospectus with respect to the Parent Shares issuable in the Transactions and a proxy statement to be sent to the shareholders of the Company (and, to the extent applicable, the holders of any outstanding Company RSUs) relating to the Company Shareholders Meeting (together with any amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Proxy Statement”).  Parent and the Company shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the 1933 Act as soon as reasonably practicable after such filing.  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to Parent all information concerning the Company and its Affiliates to be included in the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement as may be reasonably requested by Parent as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of such request, and shall provide such other reasonable assistance, in each case as may be reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to filing the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or mailing the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, the Company and Parent shall (i) provide the other an opportunity to review and comment on such document or response (including the proposed final version of such document or response), and (ii) consider in good faith all comments reasonably proposed by the other Party within a reasonable time after having been provided such document or response for its review; provided, that none of the Parties shall be responsible for any delay in furnishing the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement to the SEC (or a response to any comment of the SEC in connection therewith) to the extent arising from a Party’s review of the foregoing or a Party’s good faith consideration and incorporation of any comments thereto proposed by the other Party.  Parent shall advise the Company, promptly after receiving notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order, or of any request by the SEC for amendment of the Registration Statement or Proxy Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information, and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to have any such stop order or suspension lifted, reversed or otherwise terminated.

(b)           If prior to the Company Shareholders Meeting, any event occurs with respect to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any change occurs with respect to other information supplied by Parent for inclusion in the Proxy Statement or Registration Statement, in each case which is required by applicable Law to be described in an amendment of, or a supplement to, the Proxy Statement or Registration Statement so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which

65

they were made, not misleading, Parent shall promptly notify the Company of such event or information, and the Company and Parent shall reasonably cooperate in the prompt, and in any event within the earlier of (i) five (5) Business Days following the receipt of such notice and (ii) the date of the Company Shareholders Meeting, preparation and furnishing to the SEC of any necessary amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or Registration Statement and, as required by applicable Law, in disseminating the information contained in such amendment or supplement to the Company’s shareholders (and, to the extent applicable, the holders of any outstanding Company RSUs).  Nothing in this Section 8.1(b) shall limit the obligations of any Party under Section 8.1(a); provided, that none of the Parties shall be responsible for any delay in furnishing any such amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or Registration Statement to the SEC to the extent arising from a Party’s review of the foregoing or a Party’s good faith consideration and incorporation of any comments thereto proposed by the other Party.

(d)           The Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the shareholders (the “Company Shareholders Meeting”) for the sole purpose of seeking the Company Shareholders Approval, and shall not submit any other proposals in connection with such Company Shareholders Meeting (other than proposals relating to executive compensation as may be required by Rule 14a-21(c) under the 1934 Act, and in connection with the appointment of the Exchange Agent in a manner consistent with Article III), without the prior written consent of Parent; provided that the Company (i) shall cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s shareholders (and, to the extent applicable, the holders of any outstanding Company RSUs) as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the 1933 Act, and (ii) shall use its reasonable best efforts to hold the Company

66

Shareholders Meeting on the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the first mailing of the Proxy Statement to the Company’s shareholders.  Subject to Section 6.4(b), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit the Company Shareholders Approval.  The Company shall include in the Proxy Statement the recommendation of the Transaction Committee and the Company Board that the Company’s shareholders give the Company Shareholders Approval, except to the extent that the Transaction Committee or the Company Board shall have made an Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 6.4(b).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not make or file any amendment, supplement or change to the Proxy Statement without the written consent of Parent, except in connection with an Adverse Recommendation Change or as otherwise required by applicable Law; provided, that, if, at any time prior to the Company Shareholders Meeting, any information relating to the Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors should be discovered by the Company or Parent which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that the Proxy Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the Party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties, and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the Company’s shareholders.  The Company agrees that its obligations to hold the Company Shareholders Meeting pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Acquisition Proposal, or by the making of any Adverse Recommendation Change.  The Company shall not adjourn or postpone the Company Shareholders Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent; provided, that the Company shall have the right to adjourn or postpone the Company Shareholders Meeting if:  (i) after consultation with Parent, for a single period not to exceed ten (10) Business Days from the date on which the Company Shareholders Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of Company Common Stock to obtain the Company Shareholders Approval; (ii) on the date on which the Company Shareholders Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Shareholders Meeting; or (iii) after consultation with Parent, the failure to adjourn or postpone the Company Shareholders Meeting would reasonably be expected to be a violation of applicable Law for the distribution of any required amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement to be timely provided to the Company’s shareholders (the period that the Company Shareholders Meeting is adjourned or postponed, the “Adjournment Period”).

SECTION 8.2.              Regulatory and Other Undertakings.

(a)           Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate the Merger, including (i) preparing and filing as promptly as practicable with any Governmental Authority or other Third Party all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents that are necessary, proper or advisable to

(b)           Subject to the terms hereof, the Company and Parent agree, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries, to cooperate and to use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain any government clearances or approvals required for Closing under any Antitrust Laws, to respond to any government requests for information under any Antitrust Laws, and to contest and resist any Action, including any legislative, administrative or judicial action, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that restricts, prevents or prohibits the consummation of the Transactions under any Antitrust Laws.  The Parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any Party in connection with proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Laws.  Parent and the Company agree to provide the other Party and its counsel the opportunity, on reasonable advance notice, to participate in any substantive meetings or discussions, either in person or by telephone, between Parent or the Company or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other hand, concerning or in connection with the Transactions.

(c)           Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.2 or otherwise in this Agreement, none of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company shall be required or permitted to consent to any requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order of a Governmental Authority (i) to sell, divest, license, assign, transfer, hold separate or otherwise dispose of any portion of the assets or business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent or Merger Sub, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (ii) that limits the freedom of action with respect to, or ability to retain, any of the businesses, services, or assets that would be material to the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent or Merger Sub and their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to the Merger, in order to be permitted by such Governmental Authority to consummate the Transactions, or (iii) that modifies or waives any material terms and conditions of this Agreement.

68

(d)           Each of Parent and the Company shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, take any action or enter into any transaction, or any agreement to effect any transaction (including any merger or acquisition) that might reasonably be expected to make it more difficult, or to increase the time required, to:  (i) obtain the expiration or termination of the waiting period under any Antitrust Law applicable to the Transactions; (ii) avoid the entry of, the commencement of litigation seeking the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order that would materially delay or prevent the consummation of the Transactions; or (iii) obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of Governmental Authorities necessary for the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.2(d) shall restrict or limit the Company Board, the Transaction Committee, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from taking any action permitted under or required by Section 6.4, Section 8.1 or Article X.

SECTION 8.3.              Certain Filings.  The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with one another (i) in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement, the EU Listing Prospectus, the Parent Audit Report or any other required Parent Disclosure Documents or Company Disclosure Documents, (ii) in determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required, or any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained from parties to any contracts, in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, and (iii) in taking such actions or making any such filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith or with the Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement or any other Parent Disclosure Documents or Company Disclosure Documents and seeking timely to obtain any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers.  No Party shall consent to any voluntary extension of any statutory deadline or waiting period or to any voluntary delay of the consummation of the Transactions at the behest of any Governmental Authority without the consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

SECTION 8.4.              Public Announcements.  Subject to Section 6.4, the Parties shall consult with each other before issuing any press release, having any communication with the press (whether or not for attribution) or making any other public statement, or scheduling any press conference or conference call with investors or analysts, with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions and none of the Parties nor any of their Affiliates shall issue any such press release or make any such other public statement or schedule any such press conference or conference call without the consent of Parent (in the case of the Company and its Affiliates) or the Company (in the case of Parent, Merger Sub and their Affiliates), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Parties each hereby consent to the filing of Parent’s Form 6-K and the Company’s Form 8-K on the date of this Agreement in the form previously provided by Parent or the Company to the other Party, as applicable, and to the distribution or dissemination of any Parent Disclosure Documents by Parent and any Company Disclosure Documents by the Company, and (b) nothing herein shall prohibit the making of any public statement or press release by a Party to the extent that in the judgment of such Party upon the advice of its outside counsel such public statement or press release is required by applicable Law or any listing agreement with or rule of any national securities exchange or association, in which case, the Party making such determination will, if practicable in the circumstances, allow the other Parties reasonable time to comment on such public statement or press release in advance of its issuance.

(b)   any written notice or other written communication is received from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions;

(c)   any action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding is commenced or, to the Knowledge of the Company or the Knowledge of Parent, as the case may be, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Company Vessels or Parent and any of its Subsidiaries or Parent Vessels, as applicable, that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to any Section of this Agreement;

(d)   any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of such party contained in this Agreement at any time during the term hereof that could reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions set forth in Article IX not to be satisfied;

(e)   any failure of such party to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder occurs that would or would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions set forth in Article IX not to be satisfied; and

(f)    any event occurs that has had a Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, as applicable.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.6 to the contrary, the failure by a Party to comply with this Section 8.6 shall not constitute a breach of or non-compliance with any covenant or agreement by such Party for determining the satisfaction of the conditions to the obligations of the Parties set forth in Section 9.2(d) or Section 9.3(d).

SECTION 8.7.              Transfer Taxes.  The Parties shall cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all returns, questionnaires, applications or other documents regarding any property transfer or gains, sales, use, transfer, value added, stock transfer or stamp taxes, any

70

SECTION 8.8.              Waiver of Conflicts.  Recognizing that Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP (“Kramer Levin”) has acted as legal counsel to the Company, its Subsidiaries, certain of the direct and indirect holders of Company Common Stock and certain of their respective Affiliates prior to date hereof, and that Kramer Levin intends to act as legal counsel to certain of the direct and indirect holders of Company Common Stock and their respective Affiliates (which will no longer include the Company and its Subsidiaries) after the Effective Time, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with Kramer Levin representing any direct or indirect holders of the Company Common Stock or their Affiliates after the Effective Time as such representation may relate to Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries or the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between direct and indirect holders of Company Common Stock, the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Kramer Levin, on the other hand, in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the direct and indirect holders of Company Common Stock and their respective Affiliates (and not the Company, the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries).  Accordingly, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall not have access to any such communications or to the files of Kramer Levin relating to such engagement from and after the Effective Time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, (a) the direct and indirect holders of Company Common Stock and their respective Affiliates (and not the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and none of the Surviving Corporation or the Subsidiaries shall be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of Kramer Levin in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only the direct and indirect holders of Company Common Stock and their respective Affiliates (and not the Surviving Corporation and the Subsidiaries) shall hold such property rights, and (c) Kramer Levin shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Kramer Levin and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise.  This Section 8.8 will be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 8.8 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of Kramer Levin.

SECTION 8.9.              Tax Matters.  Each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts (i) to cause the Merger, including the receipt of Parent Shares by Company Common Shareholders, to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code with respect to which Parent and the Company will each be a “party to the reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code and (ii) not to, and not permit or cause any of its respective Subsidiaries to, take or cause to be taken any action reasonably likely to cause the

71

Merger, including the receipt of Parent Shares by Company Common Shareholders, to fail to qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code.

(c)           all of the Specified Approvals shall have been obtained in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, on or prior to, and shall be in full force and effect on, the Closing Date;

SECTION 9.4.              Frustration of Closing Conditions.  Neither Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, nor the Company, on the other hand, may rely, either as a basis for not consummating the Merger or for terminating this Agreement and abandoning the Merger, on the failure of any condition set forth in Section 9.1, Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, as the case may be, to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such Party’s breach of any provision of this Agreement or failure to use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions, as required by and subject to Section 8.2 or Section 8.5.

ARTICLE X
TERMINATION

SECTION 10.1.            Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time (notwithstanding the receipt of the Company Shareholders Approval), as follows:

(a)           by mutual written agreement of the Company and Parent; or

(b)           by either the Company or Parent, if:

(i)            the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before June 30, 2018 (the “End Date”); provided, that if (A) the Company Shareholders Meeting shall not have occurred by such date and (B) all other conditions in Article IX (other than the conditions set forth in Section 9.1(b)) are satisfied or are capable of being satisfied by such date, then Parent or the Company may elect, by written notice to the other Party, to extend the End Date to July 31, 2018; provided, further, that if the Company Shareholders Meeting shall have been adjourned or postponed in accordance with Section 8.1(d), the End Date shall be extended by the

74

Adjournment Period; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any Party if the failure of such Party (and in the case of Parent, including the failure of Merger Sub) to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement has been a principal cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Merger to be consummated on or before the End Date; or

(ii)           the Company Shareholders Approval shall not have been obtained after a vote of the Company’s shareholders has been taken and completed at the duly convened Company Shareholders Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof; or

(iii)          there shall be any applicable Law that prohibits the Company, Parent or Merger Sub from consummating the Merger and such prohibition shall have become final and nonappealable; or

(c)           by Parent, if:

(i)            an Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred;

(ii)           the Company shall have entered into a binding agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement contemplated by Section 6.4(b)(i)) relating to any Acquisition Proposal; or

(iii)          prior to the taking of a vote to adopt this Agreement at the Company Shareholders Meeting, the Company shall have intentionally and materially breached any of its covenants or obligations under Section 6.4 (the Parties acknowledging that the Company shall be deemed to have intentionally and materially breached such covenants or obligations if an Acquisition Proposal arises from an intentional breach or violation of Section 6.4(a));

(d)           by the Company, if (i) Parent or Merger Sub shall have breached or failed to perform any of their covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, or (ii) any representation or warranty of Parent or Merger Sub shall have become untrue, in each case which breach or failure to perform or to be true, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(d) (such circumstance, a “Material Parent Breach”), and such Material Parent Breach cannot be or, to the extent curable by Parent or Merger Sub, has not been cured by the earlier of (1) the End Date and (2) twenty (20) days after the giving of written notice to Parent of such breach or failure; provided, that if such breach or failure to perform is capable of being cured by Parent by the End Date, such twenty (20) day period shall be extended until the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the End Date solely to the extent during such period Parent is using its reasonable best efforts to cure such breach or failure to perform; provided, further, that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause (d) if the Company is then in breach of any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(d); and

(e)           by Parent, if (i) the Company shall have breached or failed to perform any of its covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement (other than its covenants and obligations under Section 6.4), or (ii) any representation or warranty of the Company shall have

75

become untrue, in each case which breach or failure to perform or to be true, individually or in the aggregate has resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(d) (such circumstance, a “Material Company Breach”), and such Material Company Breach cannot be or, to the extent curable by the Company, has not been cured by the earlier of (1) the End Date and (2) twenty (20) days after the giving of written notice to Parent of such breach or failure; provided, that if such breach or failure to perform is capable of being cured by the Company by the End Date, such twenty (20) day period shall be extended until the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the End Date solely to the extent during such period the Company is using its reasonable best efforts to cure such breach or failure to perform; provided, further, that Parent shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause (e) if Parent or Merger Sub is then in breach of any of their covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(d).

The Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1 (other than pursuant to Section 10.1(a)) shall give written notice of such termination to the other Party.

SECTION 10.2.            Effect of Termination.  Subject to Section 11.4(d), if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.1, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect without liability of any Party (or any shareholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such Party) to the other Party; provided that, if such termination shall result from the intentional breach by a Party of its obligations hereunder or (subject to Section 4.26 and Section 5.26) common law fraud, such Party shall be fully liable for any and all liabilities and damages incurred or suffered by the other Parties as a result of such breach (including liability for damages determined taking into account the loss of the economic benefits of the Transactions to the Company’s shareholders).  For purposes of this Agreement, “intentional breach” shall mean an action or omission taken or omitted to be taken that the breaching Party intentionally takes (or fails to take) and knows (or should reasonably have known) would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause a material breach of this Agreement.  The Confidentiality Agreement and the provisions of this Section 10.2 and Article XI shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1.

SECTION 11.3.            Amendments and Waivers.

(a)           Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each Party or, in the case of a waiver, by each Party against whom the waiver is to be effective;

77

provided that (i) any such amendment or waiver on behalf of the Company shall require the approval of the Transaction Committee, and (ii) after the Company Shareholders Approval has been obtained there shall be no amendment or waiver that would require the further approval of the shareholders of the Company under the MIBCA unless such amendment is subject to shareholder approval.

SECTION 11.4.            Expenses.

(a)           General.  Except as expressly otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such costs or expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

(b)           Termination Fee.

(i)            If this Agreement is terminated (A) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 10.1(b)(i) at a time when this Agreement could have been validly terminated pursuant to Section 10.1(c), or (B) by Parent pursuant to Section 10.1(c), then the Company shall pay to Parent in immediately available funds the Company Termination Fee, in the case of a termination by Parent, within two (2) Business Days after such termination and, in the case of a termination by the Company, at the time of such termination.  “Company Termination Fee” means $39,000,000.00 in cash.

(ii)           If this Agreement is terminated (A)(1) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 10.1(b)(ii) and prior to the taking of a vote to adopt this Agreement at the Company Shareholders Meeting an Acquisition Proposal (with 50% being substituted for references to 15% in the definition thereof for the purposes of this Section 11.4(b)(ii)) shall have been publicly disclosed for the first time after the date of this Agreement and shall not have been withdrawn, or (2) by Parent pursuant to Section 10.1(e)(i) and prior to termination of this Agreement an Acquisition Proposal (with 50% being substituted for references to 15% in the definition thereof for the purposes of this Section 11.4(b)(ii)) shall have been made and shall not have been withdrawn, and (B) prior to the first anniversary of the date of such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or any Acquisition Proposal shall have been consummated, then the Company shall pay the Company Termination Fee to Parent in immediately available funds within two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of the last of the events described in clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 11.4(b)(ii).

(c)           Other Costs and Expenses.  The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 11.4 are an integral part of the Transactions and that, without these agreements, Parent and Merger Sub would not enter into this Agreement.

78

Accordingly, if the Company fails to pay any amount due to Parent on or prior to the date such amounts are due pursuant to this Section 11.4, it shall also pay any costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Parent or Merger Sub in connection with a legal action or proceeding to enforce the obligations to pay the Company Termination Fee that results in a judgment against the Company for such amount, together with interest on the amount of any unpaid fee, cost or expense at the publicly announced prime rate of Citibank, N.A., in effect on the date such amounts were originally due hereunder, from the date such fee, cost or expense was required to be paid to (but excluding) the payment date.

(d)           Parent and Merger Sub agree that, upon any valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms herein under circumstances where the Company Termination Fee is payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 11.4 and such Company Termination Fee is received in full, Parent and Merger Sub shall be precluded from any other remedy against the Company, at law or in equity or otherwise, and neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, shareholders or Affiliates or their respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions.  In no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

SECTION 11.5.            Exhibits; Disclosure Letters.  All exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein.  References to this Agreement shall include the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter.  The Parties agree that any item or reference in any section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter, as applicable, shall be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) the applicable representations and warranties (or applicable covenants) that are contained in the corresponding Sections or subsections of this Agreement and any other representations and warranties that are contained in this Agreement to which the relevance of such item thereto is reasonably apparent on its face.  The mere inclusion of an item in the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter, as applicable, as an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item would have a Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, as applicable or establish any standard of materiality to define further the meaning of such terms for purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.6.            Waiver.  Subject to Section 11.3 hereof, at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after the Company Shareholders Meeting, Parent (on behalf of itself and Merger Sub) may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the covenants, obligations or other acts of the Company, or (b) waive any inaccuracy of any representations or warranties or compliance with any of the agreements or covenants of the Company or with any conditions to its own obligations.  Any agreement on the part of Parent (on behalf of itself and Merger Sub) to any such extension or waiver will be valid only if such waiver is set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of Parent by its duly authorized officer.  Subject to Section 11.3 hereof, at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after the Company Shareholders Meeting, the Company may (a) extend the time for the performance of

79

any of the covenants, obligations or other acts of Parent or Merger Sub, or (b) waive any inaccuracy of any representations or warranties or compliance with any of the agreements or covenants of Parent or Merger Sub or with any conditions to its own obligations.  Any agreement on the part of the Company to any such extension or waiver will be valid only if such waiver is set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Company by its duly authorized officer.  The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise will not constitute a waiver of such rights.  The waiver of any such right with respect to particular facts and other circumstances will not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts and circumstances, and each such right will be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

SECTION 11.7.            Governing Law.  This Agreement will be deemed to be made in and in all respects will be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of Law or conflict of Law provision or rule that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York, except (a) to the extent that the Law of the Republic of the Marshall Islands or of the Kingdom of Belgium are mandatorily applicable to the Transactions, and (b) all matters relating to the fiduciary duties of the Company shall be subject to the Laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

SECTION 11.8.            Jurisdiction.  EACH OF THE PARTIES CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY OR IN THE FEDERAL SOUTHERN DISTRICT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND ANY APPELLATE COURT THEREFROM LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE MERGER OR THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS.  EACH OF THE PARTIES ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS RESPECTIVE PROPERTIES, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE MERGER OR THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.  EACH OF THE PARTIES FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE FIFTEEN (15) CALENDAR DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING.  NOTHING HEREIN WILL IN ANY WAY BE DEEMED TO LIMIT THE ABILITY OF ANY PARTY TO SERVE ANY SUCH LEGAL PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICES AND DOCUMENTS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR TO OBTAIN JURISDICTION OVER OR TO BRING ACTIONS, SUITS OR PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY IN SUCH OTHER JURISDICTIONS, AND IN SUCH MANNER, AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY ANY APPLICABLE LAW.

80

SECTION 11.9.            WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SECTION 11.10.         No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Except as provided in Section 7.1 and Section 11.15 (which provisions are intended to be for the benefit of the Persons referred to therein, and may be enforced by any such Person), the Parties hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other Parties, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties.

SECTION 11.11.         Severability.  If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.  Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a reasonably acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

SECTION 11.12.         Specific Performance.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred in connection therewith.  Each Party agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other Party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any federal court located in the State of New York or any New York state court, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and the Parties to this Agreement hereby waive any requirement for the posting of any bond or similar collateral in connection therewith.  The Parties hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation (other than in connection with any action for temporary restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

SECTION 11.13.         Headings.  The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.14.         Construction.  The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, and, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

81

SECTION 11.15.         Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment.

(a)           The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except (i) as provided in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3 and (ii) the Company on behalf of the Company’s shareholders to pursue damages (including claims for damages based on loss of the economic benefits of the Transaction to the Company’s shareholders) in the event of the intentional breach of this Agreement prior to the Closing Date by Parent or Merger Sub (whether or not this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Article X), which right is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed by Parent and Merger Sub.

(b)           No Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each other Party, except that Parent or Merger Sub may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement after the Closing Date to any Affiliate of Parent; provided, that no such assignment shall relieve Parent or Merger Sub of any obligations under this Agreement; provided, further, that no assignment or purported assignment of this Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub shall be valid if and to the extent such assignment causes the Merger to fail to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.  Any purported assignment without such prior written consents shall be void.

SECTION 11.16.         Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

SECTION 11.17.         Counterparts; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.  This Agreement shall become effective when each Party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other Parties.  Until and unless each Party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party, this Agreement shall have no effect and no Party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).  Facsimile signatures or signatures received as a pdf attachment to electronic mail shall be treated as original signatures for all purposes of this Agreement.

substance acceptable to EURN, us and the other parties thereto (the Merger Agreement”), (b) such Proposed Merger, if consummated, would constitute a “Change of Control” under the terms of the Note and Guarantee Agreement, (c) it is our intention to prepay and redeem in full all outstanding Notes as part of the consummation of the Proposed Merger, and (d) we would propose that such prepayment and redemption of the notes occur at a modified prepayment premium agreed among the Issuer, the Guarantor and each of the Holders, as set forth below.

1.  Redemption of the Notes.  For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged:

(a)           The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that, if the Proposed Merger shall occur, then contemporaneously with the consummation of the Proposed Merger, the Issuer shall redeem and prepay, in immediately available funds, to the respective Holders, (i) the full principal amount of all then then-outstanding Notes of each Holder, (ii) the full amount of all interest then accrued on each such Note, (iii) all amounts then invoiced, due and owing to the Holders pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement and Section 17.1 of the Note and Guarantee Agreement (without duplication), and (iv) notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.2(a)(ii) of the Note and Guarantee Agreement to the contrary, a prepayment premium equal to 1.0% of the principal amount of the Notes prepaid to the Holders (the aggregate of such amounts payable to each respective Holder, such Holder’s “Prepayment Amount”).

(b)           Each of the Holders hereby covenants and agrees that, if the Issuer pays to such Holder, in full and in immediately available funds, such Holder’s respective Prepayment Amount in accordance with the preceding clause (a), then notwithstanding any provisions of Section 8.2(a)(ii) of the Note and Guarantee Agreement to the contrary, upon such Holder’s receipt of such Prepayment Amount (i) such Holder shall accept such Prepayment Amount in satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantor to such Holder under the Note and Guarantee Agreement and all Notes held by such Holder, and such Obligations and any and all other obligations or indebtedness of the Issuer or the Guarantor to such Holder (other than expense reimbursement, contingent indemnities and other contingent obligations for which no claim or demand has been made and which by the terms of the Note and Guaranty Agreement expressly survive, as described in Section 1(d) below) shall be deemed discharged, satisfied and paid in full in all respects, (ii) the Note and Guaranty Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect with respect to such Holder, (iii) the Notes held by such Holder shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect and (iv) such Holder shall (at the sole expense of the Issuer) procure, deliver or execute all further instruments and documents, and take any other actions, which are reasonably requested to evidence the consummation of the payoff, redemption and other terminations of the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantor to such Holder pursuant hereto.

(c)           Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.2(b) of the Note and Guarantee Agreement to the contrary, the Issuer and each Holder hereby agree that with respect to a prepayment made or to be made in accordance with the preceding clauses of this Section 1, (i) the Issuer may deliver the required notice of prepayment to the Holders on any day that is at least two Business Days prior to the anticipated date of the prepayment and redemption of the Notes and such notice  (hereinafter, a “Prepayment Notice”) shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) of prepayment (the “Prepayment Date”), the aggregate principal amount of the

2

Notes to be prepaid on the Prepayment Date, the principal amount of each Note held by such Holder to be prepaid, and the accrued and unpaid interest to be paid on the Prepayment Date (but not including the Prepayment Date) with respect to such principal amount being prepaid (the aggregate amount of all principal and interest to be prepaid, the “Prepayment Amount”), (ii) such Prepayment Notice may be made conditional on the occurrence of the Proposed Merger, and (iii) the Issuer shall not be required to deliver to the Holders any certificate specifying a calculation of the estimated Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.

(d)           Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the Issuer, the Guarantor, and the Holders understand and agree that any expense reimbursement, contingent indemnities and other contingent obligations in the Note and Guarantee Agreement which are expressly stated therein (i) to survive termination of the Note and Guarantee Agreement or (ii) to continue in full force and effect after the Obligations are paid in full, and in respect of which no claim or demand for payment has been made at such time, will survive the termination of the Note and Guarantee Agreement and the Notes in accordance with the terms thereof.

(e)           The Issuer, the Guarantor and the Holders agree that if the Prepayment Amount is not received by the Holders in immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Prepayment Date, then on the Prepayment Date, the Prepayment Amount shall be increased by an additional amount per day equal to the daily rate of interest accrued on the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts of PIK Interest that have been added to the principal amount of the Notes prior to the Prepayment Date, and have not been otherwise repaid), as calculated in accordance with Section 8.1(b) of the Note and Guaranty Agreement (the “Per Diem Amount”), for each day thereafter until the Prepayment Amount and all applicable Per Diem Amounts are received by the Holders; provided, however, that if an Interest Payment Date shall occur after the delivery of a Prepayment Notice, but prior to the Holders’ receipt of the Prepayment Amount and all applicable Per Diem Amounts, then such previously delivered Prepayment Notice shall automatically terminate and the Issuer may deliver to the Holders a new Prepayment Notice reflecting an updated then-applicable Prepayment Amount and Per Diem Amount.
