shares. Each Series B Preferred Share has the voting power of 1,000 common shares and counts for 1,000 votes for purposes of determining quorum at a meeting of shareholders, subject to adjustments to maintain a substantially identical
voting interest in the Company following certain events. The holders of Series B Preferred Shares have no dividend or distribution rights, other than upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, in which event the holders of
Series B Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive a payment up to an amount equal to the par value per Series B Preferred Share. Also, if the Company declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of voting securities of a
subsidiary to the holders of the Company’s common shares by way of a spin off or other similar transaction, then, in each such case, each holder of Series B Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive preferred shares of the subsidiary
whose voting securities are so distributed with at least substantially similar rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions as those of the Series B Preferred Shares.

Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”). TCE is a measure of revenue generated over a period that accounts for the effect of the different charter types under which our vessels may
be employed. TCE is calculated by deducting voyage expenses from revenue and making any other adjustments that may be required to approximate the revenue that would have been generated, had the vessels been employed under time charters, net
of commissions. TCE is typically expressed on a daily basis (“Daily TCE”) by dividing it by Operating Days, to eliminate the effect of changes in fleet composition between periods.
|
|
|
• |
Daily Vessel Operating Expenses (“Daily OPEX”). Daily OPEX is a measure of the vessel operating expenses incurred over a period divided by Ownership Days, to eliminate the
effect of changes in fleet composition between periods.
|
|
|
• |
Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”). EBITDA is a financial measure we calculate by deducting interest and finance costs, interest income,
taxes, depreciation and amortization, from net income. EBITDA assists our management by carving out the effects that non-operating expenses and non-cash items have on our financial results. We believe this also enhances the comparability of
our operating performance between periods and against companies that may have varying capital structures, other depreciation and amortization policies, or that may be subject to different tax regulations.

extent that such loss, damage, delay or expense is proven (through a judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction) to have resulted solely from fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Manager or its employees, officers,
directors, agents and/or Affiliates in which case (save where such loss, damage, delay or expense has resulted from the Manager’s personal act or omission committed with the intent to cause same or recklessly and with knowledge that such loss,
damage, delay or expense would probably result) the Manager’s liability for each incident or series of incidents giving rise to a claim or claims shall never exceed a total of two (2) times the quarterly Flat Fee (including any Manager’s

costs and expenses on a full indemnity basis), which they may suffer or incur (whether directly or indirectly) in the course of the performance of this Agreement, unless and to the extent that such actions, proceedings, claims, demands,
liabilities, costs, loss, damages or expenses are proven (through the judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction) to have resulted solely from fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Manager and/or any Sub-Manager and/or their
respective employees, officers, directors, agents and Affiliates.
|
|
|
(d) |

(including but not limited to VAT and tonnage taxes), imposts and duties levied by any government as a result of the operations of the Group or the Vessels, whether or not such taxes, imposts and duties are levied on any member of the Group,
the Vessels, or the Manager. The Group shall pay all applicable taxes, levies, dues or fines imposed on the Group, the Vessels or the Manager as a result of the existence and operations of the Group and the Vessels. For the avoidance of doubt,

Governing Law and Third Party Rights
|
|
|
(a) |
This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of, or in connection with, it shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of England and Wales.
|
|
|
(b) |
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be referred to arbitration in London in accordance with the Arbitration Act 1996 or any statutory modification or re-enactment thereof save to the extent necessary to give
effect to the provisions of this Clause 14. The seat of the arbitration shall be England, even where the hearing takes place outside England.
|
|
|
(c) |
The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the London Maritime Arbitrators Association (LMAA) Terms current at the time when the arbitration proceedings are commenced.
|
|
|
(d) |
The reference shall be to three arbitrators, one to be appointed by each Party and the third, subject to the provisions of the LMAA Terms, by the two so appointed. A Party wishing to refer a dispute to arbitration shall appoint its
arbitrator and send notice of such appointment in writing to the other Party requiring the other Party to appoint its own arbitrator within 14 calendar days of that notice and stating that it will appoint its arbitrator as sole arbitrator
unless the other Party appoints its own arbitrator and gives notice that it has done so within the 14 days specified. If the other Party does not appoint its own arbitrator and give notice that it has done so within the 14 days specified in the
notice, the Party referring a dispute to arbitration may, without the requirement of any further prior notice to the other Party, appoint its arbitrator as sole arbitrator and shall advise the other Party accordingly. The award of a sole
arbitrator shall be binding on both Parties as if the arbitrator had been appointed by agreement. If any of the appointed arbitrators refuses or is incapable of acting, the Party who appointed him shall appoint a new arbitrator in his place.
|
|
|
(e) |
In any dispute involving more than one members of the Group, then such members of the Group shall jointly appoint an arbitrator as if they were a single Party.
|
|
|
(f) |
Nothing herein shall prevent the parties agreeing in writing to vary these provisions to provide for the appointment of a sole arbitrator.
|
|
|
(g) |
The award rendered by the Arbitration Tribunal shall be final and binding upon the Parties and may if necessary be enforced by the Court or any other competent authority in the same manner as a judgment of the Court.
|
|
|
(h) |
Save as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no provisions of this Agreement which confer rights, claims or benefits upon any person who is not a Party to this Agreement shall be enforceable pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of
Third Parties) Act 1999 by any such person.
|
|
|
(i) |
This Agreement (including, but not limited to, this Clause 14) may be terminated, rescinded, or varied in any way by Icon and the Manager without the consent of any other Person who may be expressly entitled to the benefit of any provision
of this Agreement.
|
| 15. |

|
|
|
(ii) |
a Ship Management Agreement, on the later of the Effective Date and the date upon which that Subsidiary enters into any contractual agreement to acquire or charter-in a Vessel,
|
|
|
(b) |
The members of the Group which are parties to this Agreement (including any which have become so by executing an accession agreement) hereby authorise any director or officer of Icon from time to time to execute each such accession agreement
on their behalf so as to bind them. Such accession agreement shall become effective immediately.

|
|
|
(ii) |
each Managed Entity owning or chartering-in a Vessel warrants that its Vessel is not a Sanctioned Party and will not be used for any Sanctioned Activity;
|
|

Assignment and Sub-Contracting
|
|
|
(a) |
This Agreement, and the Group’s rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by the Group without the prior written consent of the Manager, unless:
|
|
|
(i) |
the Parties agree otherwise; or
|
|
|
(ii) |
such assignment is made in connection with the financing of a Vessel, provided that such financing is not in contravention of any laws, regulations or sanctions which the Manager may be subject to;
|
|
|
(b) |
The Manager may freely sub-contract and/or sub-license this Agreement, or any part thereof, and/or appoint any person or corporate entity (each a “Sub-Manager”), at any time throughout the Term of this Agreement, to perform such parts of the
Services as may seem convenient or appropriate to the Manager, so long as:
|
|
|
(i) |
the Group consents in writing to such action; or
|
|
|
(ii) |
the Sub-Manager is an Affiliate of the Manager; or
|
|
|
(iii) |
the Manager remains liable for the performance of the Services and its other obligations under this Agreement and bears and pays the remuneration, however described, of any Sub-Manager.
|
| 20. |
Waivers
|
| 21. |
Joint and Several Liability
|
|
|
(a) |
All liabilities and obligations of the members of the Group under this Agreement shall, whether expressed to be so or not, be joint and several.
|
|
|
(b) |
Icon irrevocably and unconditionally:
|
|
|
(i) |
guarantees to the Manager due and punctual performance by each member of the Group of all that member’s obligations under this Agreement and any Ship Management Agreement;
|
|
|
(ii) |
undertakes with the Manager that whenever a member of the Group does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with this Agreement or any Ship Management Agreement, it shall immediately on demand by the Manager pay that amount as if
it were the principal obligor; and
|
|
|
(iii) |
agrees with the Manager that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify the Manager immediately on demand by the Manager against any cost,
loss or liability it incurs as a result of another member of the Group not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under this Agreement or any Ship Management Agreement on
the date when it would have been due; provided that the amount payable by Icon under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Section 21 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a
guarantee.
|
|
|
(c) |
Icon’s guarantee under Section 21(b) is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any member of the Group under this Agreement or any Ship Management Agreement, regardless of any intermediate payment
or discharge in whole or in part.
|
|
|
(d) |
If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any member of the Group or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by the Manager in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security
or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of Icon under this Section 21 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release
or arrangement had not occurred.
|
|
|
(e) |
Icon waives any right it may have of first requiring the Manager (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person (including without limitation to commence
any proceedings under this Agreement or any Ship Management Agreement) before claiming or commencing proceedings under this Section 21. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of this Agreement or any Ship Management
Agreement to the contrary.
|
|
|
(f) |
All rights which Icon at any time has (whether in respect of this guarantee or any other transaction) against any other member of the Group or its respective assets shall be fully subordinated to the rights of the Manager under this
Agreement or any Ship Management Agreement.
|
| 22. |
Anti-Circumvention
|
|
|
(a) |
The Group shall not, and Icon shall procure that no member of the Group shall, directly or indirectly, take any action, or enter into any transaction or arrangement, the principal purpose or material effect of which is to avoid, reduce or
circumvent the Manager’s entitlement to provide the Services, receive the Management Fees or receive the Termination Fee under this Agreement or any Ship Management Agreement.
|
|
|
(b) |
Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, if any Vessel is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by a Managed Entity and, within thirty-six (36) months from such sale, transfer or disposition, such Vessel becomes, directly
or indirectly, beneficially owned, chartered-in, controlled, managed or operated by Icon, any member of the Group, any person who controls Icon at such time, any Affiliate of such controlling person, or any person acting by arrangement with any
of the foregoing, then such transaction or series of transactions shall not operate to avoid or reduce any Management Fees, Termination Fee or other amounts that would otherwise have been payable to the Manager had such Vessel remained within
the Group.
