(e) The Company shall not change the record date or establish a different record date for the Special Meeting without the prior written consent of Investor, unless required to do so by applicable Law or the governing documents of the Company.

The adoption of the Shareholder Proposals shall be the only matter (other than procedural matters and possibly a reverse stock split) which the Company shall propose to be acted on by the holders of Common Stock at the Special Meeting.

(f) If at any time prior to the date of the Special Meeting, any event or circumstance relating to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers

or directors should be discovered by the Company which, pursuant to the Securities Act or Exchange Act, should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy Statement, the Company shall (i) promptly inform Investor of such event or circumstance, (ii) provide Investor and its counsel with a draft of such amendment or supplement and a reasonable opportunity to review and to propose comments on such document, (iii) incorporate any and all changes requested by Investor unless unreasonable to do so, and (iv) to the extent necessary distribute said amendment or supplement to the holders of the Common Stock (and as required by applicable Law, postpone or adjourn the Special Meeting). Each of Investor and the Company agrees to correct any information provided by it for use in the Proxy Statement which shall have become false or misleading in any material respect.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Shareholder Approval, the Company Board may withdraw, rescind, modify or qualify, or propose to publicly withdraw, modify or qualify, in a manner adverse to Investor its recommendation to adopt the Shareholder Proposals (any of the foregoing, an “Adverse Recommendation Change”) only if the Company Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with and upon the advice of its outside legal counsel, based on events or circumstances that the Company Board did not have knowledge of as of the date of this Agreement, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Board shall not be entitled to make an Adverse Recommendation Change unless (i) the Company shall have provided prior written notice to Investor, at least five (5) Business Days in advance, or such shorter period of time if the Company Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with and upon the advice of its outside legal counsel, that such shorter period of time is necessary in connection with the discharge by the Company Board of its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law, that the Company Board will effect an Adverse Recommendation Change and specifying with reasonable particularity the reasons therefor, (ii) during such five (5) Business Day (or shorter) period, if requested by Investor, the Company shall have engaged in good faith negotiations with Investor to amend this Agreement or any other Credit Documents in such a manner that would obviate the need for such Adverse Recommendation Change, and (iii) the Company Board shall have considered in good faith any adjustments to this Agreement and/or any other Credit Documents that may be proposed by Investor no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth (5th) Business Day of such five (5) Business Day period (or at the conclusion of such shorter period) and shall have determined, after consultation with and upon the advice of its outside legal counsel, that no adjustment has been made that would obviate the need for such Adverse Recommendation Change. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company’s obligations under the Credit Documents (including this Section 4.03) shall not be affected by any Adverse Recommendation Change.

Section 4.04 Warrants. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon exercise of the Warrants to be issued to Investor at the Closing shall be equal to the product of (x) 0.199, multiplied by (y) the difference of (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing minus (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued after the date of the announcement by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and prior to the Closing at a price per share greater than or equal to $2.55. For purposes of this Section 4.04, equitable adjustment shall be made to

reflect stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar transactions after the date hereof but prior to the Closing.

Section 4.05 Preemptive Rights.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.08, following the Closing, and until such time as Investor, together with its Affiliates, first ceases to beneficially own (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) shares of Common Stock purchasable under Warrants, shares of Common Stock purchased under Warrants, shares of Common Stock previously issued under this Section 4.05 and shares of Common Stock purchasable or acquirable under other securities previously issued under this Section 4.05 (collectively but, without duplication, “Transaction Shares”) equal to at least 50% of the aggregate Transaction Shares theretofore issued to Investor and its Affiliates (including any such Transaction Shares transferred to any of them pursuant to Section 4.05(f)), the Company shall offer each of Investor and each of its Affiliates that owns beneficially or of record any Transaction Shares (each, an “Eligible Holder”), on the terms and conditions of this Section 4.05, the right to purchase or subscribe for up to an aggregate number of New Securities equal to the product of (i) the total number of New Securities to be issued or sold by the Company and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Transaction Shares beneficially owned by such Eligible Holder, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding plus the aggregate number of all Transaction Shares that all Eligible Holders may then purchase under Warrants or other exercisable, convertible or exchangeable securities, in each case, determined as of the date on which the Preemptive Rights Notice is delivered, or in the case of an Accelerated Equity Offering, as of immediately prior thereto. However, the Company may elect not to extend preemptive rights under this Section 4.05 to Investor or any of its Affiliates that is not an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act or whose participation in the offering or sale would, in and of itself, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Company, require registration or qualification under any U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. securities law (assuming any such registration and/or qualification would not be required but for such Person’s participation) and, if it does so, the Persons so excluded shall not be entitled to the rights provided under this Section 4.05; provided, that in such case, Investor and/or any one or more of the other Eligible Holders who are not so excluded shall be entitled to exercise the rights of the Persons so excluded in their stead, with such rights to be reallocated among Investor and/or such other Eligible Holders as determined by those of them holding a majority of the Common Stock beneficially owned by all of them.

(b) Subject to the last sentence of Section 4.05(a) and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.05, each Eligible Holder shall be entitled to purchase all or any portion of such New Securities (as set forth in Section 4.05(a)) at the most favorable price such New Securities are to be sold or issued. Each Eligible Holder participating in such purchase shall be obligated to execute agreements with respect to such purchase, in each case no more restrictive and providing for no fewer rights, remedies or privileges to such Eligible Holder than such agreements to be executed by any other proposed purchaser of such New Securities. Except as provided in Section 4.05(f), the sale of the New Securities to each Eligible Holder shall be no later than concurrent with the sale of such New Securities to the other proposed purchaser(s) of such New Securities, and the purchase price therefor shall be payable by such Eligible Holder at

the same time and in the same manner as payable by the other proposed purchaser(s) of such New Securities; provided that, if the Company accepts payment for any such New Securities in any form other than cash (U.S. dollars), each Eligible Holder shall have the option to make such payment in cash (U.S. dollars) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company or in the form of such other consideration paid by the other purchaser(s); provided, further, that the sale of New Securities to any Eligible Holder may be delayed as reasonable necessary to obtain any required clearance, consent or approval of any Governmental Authority, including the passage or termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act or any comparable applicable non-U.S. competition or antitrust Law, it being understood that, with respect to any such required clearance, consent or approval, the Company shall cooperate with the Eligible Holder in accordance with Section 4.01. The exercise by any Eligible Holder of its purchase rights under this Section 4.05(b) shall be subject to receipt of the Shareholder Approval, to the extent required therefor, including pursuant to the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

(c) In order to exercise its purchase rights under this Section 4.05, each Eligible Holder must deliver a written notice (an “Election Notice”) to the Company describing its election hereunder. Such Election Notice must be delivered to the Company no later than ten (10) Business Days (the “Offering Period”) following such Eligible Holder’s receipt of written notice from the Company (a “Preemptive Rights Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the type, class and number of New Securities being offered, the purchase price thereof, the other material terms and conditions associated therewith, and such Eligible Holder’s percentage allotment. Each Eligible Holder who fails for any reason to deliver an Election Notice to the Company within the Offering Period shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any and all of his, her or its rights under this Section 4.05 in respect of the issuance of New Securities described in the applicable Preemptive Rights Notice.

(d) Upon the expiration of the Offering Period and during the 150-day period immediately thereafter, the Company shall be entitled to sell any New Securities which any Eligible Holder has not elected to purchase, on terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those offered to the Eligible Holders pursuant to Section 4.05(c). Any New Securities offered or sold by the Company after such 150-day period must be reoffered to each Eligible Holder pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.05.

(e) For purposes hereof, “New Securities” means any (x) shares of capital stock or other equity interests in the Company or any successor thereto (“Capital Stock”), (y) any warrants, options, or other rights to subscribe for or to acquire, directly or indirectly, Capital Stock, whether or not then exercisable or convertible, and (z) any interests, notes, or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Capital Stock, whether or not then convertible or exchangeable; provided that, New Securities shall not include any such securities or other interests issued (i) as consideration in a bona fide business combination or acquisition (whether structured as a merger, consolidation or otherwise) (including in connection with acquisitions of vessels or other assets) by the Company or its Subsidiaries (and not to any Affiliates of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any members of the “immediate family” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(e) under the Exchange Act) thereof or to any Affiliates of any of the foregoing), (ii) as “kickers” to lenders pursuant to bona fide third-party debt financings (and not to any Affiliates of the Company or any of its

Subsidiaries or any members of the “immediate family” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(e) under the Exchange Act) thereof or to any Affiliates of any of the foregoing), (iii) to any director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or joint ventures pursuant to the General Maritime Corporation 2001 Stock Incentive Plan as in effect on March 25, 2011, or any other compensatory plan or arrangement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries approved by the Company Board or the Compensation Committee, (iv) pursuant to any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, dividends of purchase rights or other securities and similar transactions, (v) upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any securities previously issued in compliance with this Section 4.05, (vi) upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any securities previously issued and in respect of which the Eligible Holders were not entitled to participate under this Section 4.05 because such securities were excluded from the definition of “New Securities” by any of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this paragraph, (vii) upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any securities outstanding on the date of this Agreement or on the Closing Date, or (viii) to the extent such securities or other interests constitute Public Offering Securities (it being understood that, with respect to any Public Offering Securities, the provisions of Section 4.05(g) shall govern).

(f) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Company Board determines in good faith that it is in the best interests of the Company that an issuance of New Securities otherwise subject to this Section 4.05 be conducted on an accelerated basis due to cash or liquidity requirements (including a prospective breach of a liquidity covenant) (an “Accelerated Equity Offering”), then such issuance may be completed otherwise than in compliance with the procedures set out in this Section 4.05; provided, that the Company and the subscriber(s) of the New Securities offered pursuant to the Accelerated Equity Offering shall, as a condition to the consummation of the Accelerated Equity Offering, be required to agree in writing, for the benefit of the Eligible Holders, that promptly, and in any event no later than ten (10) days after such issuance, such subscriber(s) shall, and the Company shall cause such subscriber(s) to, offer to sell to each Eligible Holder such portion of the issuance of New Securities as each such Eligible Holder would have been entitled to subscribe for had such issuance been effected through an offering subject to the rights set out in clauses (a) through (e) above of this Section 4.05, at the price and on the terms thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during any period of time between the consummation of an Accelerated Equity Offering and the final determination, in accordance with this Section 4.05, of the number of New Securities, if any, that the Eligible Holders purchase with respect to such offering, the New Securities issued in such Accelerated Equity Offering shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of determining any rights of Investor or any of its Affiliates that are based upon the share ownership of any of them.

(g) For so long as the Company remains subject to the obligation to offer Eligible Holders the right to purchase or subscribe for New Securities pursuant to Section 4.05(a):

(i) No fewer than five (5) Business days prior to the commencement by the Company of any offering, or proposed offering, of securities or other interests to the public under or covered by a registration statement filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act (a “Public Offering”), the Company shall provide written notice to Investor of its intention to do so.

(ii) Following the consummation of any Public Offering, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) offer each Eligible Holder the right to purchase or subscribe for, at the same price at which the securities or other interests issued in such Public Offering (any such securities or other interests, collectively, “Public Offering Securities”) were sold, up to an aggregate number of securities or other interests of the same class and type as the Public Offering Securities issued in such Public Offering which each such Eligible Holder otherwise would have been entitled to purchase or subscribe for had such Eligible Holder been entitled to exercise its preemptive rights hereunder in connection with such Public Offering. The other terms and conditions of this Section 4.05 shall apply in respect of such issuances and sales contemplated by this Section 4.05(g)(ii), mutatis mutandis.

Section 4.06 Further Assurances. From and after the Closing, in the event any further action is reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to obtain the Shareholder Approval, the Company shall take all such necessary action as may be reasonably requested by Investor to achieve such intent; provided, that this Section 4.06 shall not abrogate or limit any of the terms of Section 4.03(g).

Section 4.07 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) From the date of the Closing until the second (2nd) anniversary thereof, except in a Permitted Transfer, Investor shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (“Transfer”) any of the Warrants or shares of Common Stock issued to Investor upon the exercise thereof (“Warrant Exercise Shares”) or any securities issued in connection with any adjustment under the Warrants (the “Additional Securities”). For purposes hereof, “Permitted Transfer” means a Transfer (i) with the prior written consent of the Company or directly in connection with a transaction approved or recommended by the Company Board or any committee thereof having the authority to so approve or recommend such Transfer (an “Approved Transfer”) or (ii) to an Affiliate of Investor who no later than concurrently with such Transfer agrees in writing to be bound by (and who shall thereupon have the rights under) the provisions of this Section 4.07 and Sections 4.08, 5.02, 5.05, 5.06, 5.07, 5.09, 5.10, 5.11, 5.12, and 5.13.

(b) Except in an Approved Transfer, Investor and its Affiliates shall not Transfer any of the Warrants, Warrant Exercise Shares and/or Additional Securities to:

(i) any Person engaged primarily or with an Affiliate engaged primarily in the ownership, leasing or operation of crude oil tankers or product tankers; provided, that the foregoing will not apply to a private equity or investment fund with an investment in a Person so engaged so long as the private equity or investment fund agrees in writing to hold such investment separate from its interest in the Company and not to seek to combine the business, assets or management of such Person with the business, assets or management of the Company; or

(ii) any Person or “group” (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) if as a result of such Transfer, such Person or “group” would, directly or indirectly, (x) “beneficially own” (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) or own of record thirty percent (30%) or more of the Common Stock or other voting or economic

equity interests of the Company (or any successor thereto by asset sale) or (y) beneficially own greater than fifty percent (50%) of the Common Stock or other voting or economic equity interests of the Company (or any successor thereto by asset sale); provided that, for purposes of clause (y) foregoing, such Person or “group” shall be deemed to beneficially own all shares of Common Stock that such Person or “group” has the right to acquire (ownership of securities prohibited by clauses (x)-(y) foregoing, “Prohibited Ownership Levels”).

(c) From the Closing Date until the first (1st) anniversary thereof, except with the prior written consent of the Company, Investor shall not, directly or indirectly, enter into any hedging agreement, hedging arrangement or other hedging transaction with respect to the Common Stock and/or Additional Securities (including the Warrant Exercise Shares) or other arrangement that Transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Warrants and/or Common Stock (including the Warrant Exercise Shares and/or Additional Securities), whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

Section 4.08 Standstill.

(a) Without the prior written consent of the Company, during the Standstill Period, Investor agrees that neither Investor nor any of its Affiliates (or any of their respective Representatives acting on behalf of or in concert with Investor or any of its Representatives) will, directly or indirectly:

(i) acquire or propose to acquire, or otherwise enter into any agreement to acquire, beneficial ownership of any capital stock of the Company other than (x) the acquisition of the Warrants pursuant to this Agreement or (y) pursuant to (i) the exercise of the Warrants, (ii) the issuance from time to time of additional warrants pursuant to the Warrants or (iii) Section 4.05; or

(ii) make any proposal or announcement (except any proposal or announcement made privately to the Company Board or any member thereof, which would not require public disclosure thereof by the Company, Investor or any of their respective Affiliates) with respect to, or engage in, any (x) merger, consolidation, business combination or similar transaction with or involving the Company or (y) acquisition of all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding the rights granted to Investor and its Affiliates under the Warrants and Section 4.05 to acquire additional securities of the Company after the Closing, Investor, together with its Affiliates or as part of any “group,” shall not acquire the Prohibited Ownership Levels, and Investor agrees that the Company shall not issue any additional Warrants, Warrant Exercise Shares, Additional Securities, Preemptive Rights Securities or New Securities to Investor or any Affiliate thereof if such issuance would cause Investor, together with its Affiliates, to beneficially own or own of record securities at or above the Prohibited Ownership Levels.

Section 4.09 Rights as Creditor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in Section 4.07 and Section 4.08, shall in any manner limit or otherwise restrict Investor

or any of its Affiliates or any “group” in which any of them is a member from exercising any and all rights and remedies available to any of them as a creditor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including remedies under the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after any acquisition of interests by any such Person in excess of the Prohibited Ownership Levels pursuant to an exercise of rights or remedies as contemplated by this Section 4.09, the restrictions set forth in Section 4.07 and Section 4.08 shall thereafter cease to apply and shall be of no further force or effect.

Section 4.10 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to Investor of the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event which is likely to result in any material failure by the Company to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied hereunder; provided that, the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall not limit or otherwise affect any remedies available to Investor in respect thereof.

Section 4.11 Board Observer Rights.

(a) After the Closing, for so long as Investor, together with its Affiliates, continues to beneficially own (i) Common Stock (assuming full exercise of all of the Warrants) representing at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Common Stock issued to Investor at the Closing (assuming full exercise of all of the Warrants and subject to equitable adjustment to reflect stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar transactions) or (ii) at least $50,000,000 in principal amount of Loans, the Company shall permit Investor to designate one (1) representative as determined by Investor in its sole discretion, who has executed and delivered to the Company a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), to attend as a non-voting observer all meetings of the Company Board and all committees thereof (the “Board Observer”).

(b) Subject to the Board Observer executing and delivering to the Company the Confidentiality Agreement (and subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.11(b)), after the Closing, the Company agrees that the Board Observer shall be entitled to receive all notices, documents, materials and other information given to members of the Company Board or any committee thereof, as and when given to any such members, and shall be reimbursed by the Company for all of his or her reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable travel expenses) incurred in connection with attending meetings of the Company Board and any committee thereof, in each case to the same extent and in the same time and manner and subject to policies no more restrictive than those applicable to, any such members. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to provide or otherwise disclose any notices, documents, materials or other information to the Board Observer, or permit the Board Observer to attend any meetings of the Company Board and/or any committees thereof, where the Company reasonably determines that such disclosure or attendance would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or conflict with or violate any Law or order.

(c) Investor may, by written notice to the Company from time to time, suspend and un-suspend the right of the Board Observer to attend any or all meetings of the Company Board and/or any committees thereof and to receive any such notices, documents, materials or

other information as provided herein, and during the pendency of any such suspensions, the Company shall not permit the attendance by the Board Observer at any such meetings nor make available to the Board Observer any such notices, documents, materials or other information nor otherwise provide Investor or its Affiliates with any material nonpublic information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries.

Section 4.12 No Frustration. The Company shall not take any action which would materially conflict with or frustrate the purpose of the Warrants or any adjustment or exercise thereof or any purchase of New Securities pursuant to Section 4.05, including that the Company shall (i) at all time keep reserved for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock as may be required to be issued from time to time under the Warrants, and (ii) not adopt any rights plan or similar agreement unless the potential adverse effects of any such plan or agreement expressly exclude any such Person and his, her or its Affiliates and their respective ownership (beneficial or of record) of any securities acquirable by such Persons pursuant to the Warrants and Section 4.05 hereof; provided, that this Section 4.12 shall not abrogate or limit any of the terms of Section 4.03(g).

Exhibit A

Form of Guaranty

Guaranty, dated as of March 29, 2011 (this “Guaranty”), by (each, a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) in favor of General Maritime Subsidiary Corporation and General Maritime Subsidiary II Corporation, each, a Xxxxxxxx Islands corporation (collectively, the “Borrowers”), and General Maritime Corporation a Xxxxxxxx Islands corporation (the “Company”). Reference is hereby made to the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company, the Borrowers, OCM Administrative Agent, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and OCM Marine Investments CTB, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Investor”). Unless the context requires otherwise or as otherwise set forth herein, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (i) it will receive substantial benefits from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (ii) for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is clearly acknowledged, it is entering into and providing this Guaranty, (iii) this Guaranty is a material inducement for the Company, the Borrowers and their Affiliates to enter into the Credit Agreement and the Credit Documents and an integral part of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents and (iv) without this Guaranty, the Company, the Borrowers and their Affiliates would not have entered into the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents or continued to pursue the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

1. Guaranty. To the extent that Investor breaches its obligation to make the Loans under the Credit Agreement upon the satisfaction or waiver (in writing) of all conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 thereof at any time that such Credit Agreement has not been terminated in accordance therewith, the Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to the Company and the Borrowers, severally in accordance with the Guarantors’ Guaranty Percentages (the “Guaranty Percentages”) set forth on the schedule provided to the Company and the Borrowers concurrently herewith, but only up to the Maximum Amount (as defined below), (i) the payment of Investor’s obligations to extend (or cause to be extended) to the Borrowers the Loans under the Credit Agreement at the Closing (the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and (ii) the prompt, full and complete performance, payment and discharge of each and every obligation of Investor (and each and every successor or assignee thereof) under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents through and including the Closing. The maximum aggregate liability of the Guarantors hereunder shall not exceed $200 million, plus any reasonable costs of enforcement and collection of this Guaranty against the Guarantors (the “Maximum Amount”), and the Company and the Borrowers hereby agree that the Guarantors shall in no event be required to pay more than the Maximum Amount under or in respect of this Guaranty, nor shall any Guarantor in any event be required to pay more than its Guaranty Percentage of the Maximum Amount under or in respect of this Guaranty, and no Guarantor shall have any obligation or liability to any Person relating to, arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty other than as expressly set forth herein. If the Guaranteed Obligations are due, Guarantors shall pay the Guaranteed Obligations, and thereupon, Guarantors shall immediately succeed to all rights and obligations of Lender under the Credit Agreement and Investor under the Investment Agreement, and the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred with the Guarantors having the identity of the Lender and Investor, as the case may be, thereunder.

2. Sole Remedy. The Company and the Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the sole asset of Investor is cash in a de minimis amount and that no additional funds are expected to be contributed to Investor unless the Closing occurs. The Borrowers further agree that neither of them has any right of recovery against, and no personal liability shall attach to, any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder, affiliate or assignee of any Guarantor (other than a party to the Credit Agreement or another Credit Document or another Guarantor) or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder, affiliate or assignee of any of the foregoing (each of the foregoing a “Guarantor Affiliate”), through Investor or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate (or limited liability company or partnership) veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of Investor against any other Guarantor Affiliate (other than a party to the Credit Agreement or another Credit Document or another Guarantor), by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable Law, or otherwise. Recourse against the Guarantors under this Guaranty shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company, the Borrowers and all of their Affiliates against any Guarantor or any Guarantor Affiliate in respect of any liabilities or obligations arising under, or in connection with, the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby. Nothing set forth in this Guaranty shall confer or give or shall be construed to confer or give to any Person any rights or remedies against any Person other than the Guarantors as expressly set forth herein.

3. Termination. This Guaranty shall terminate (and the Guarantors shall have no further obligation hereunder) as of the earliest of (i) such time as mutually agreed by the Guarantors, the Company and the Borrowers, (ii) the Closing under the Credit Agreement or (iii) upon any termination of the Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 13 thereof (other than pursuant to clause (b) of Section 13.23 thereof due to a material breach thereof or of the Investment Agreement by Investor). In the event that the Company, the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates asserts in any litigation or other proceeding relating to the Credit Documents or this Guaranty that the provisions hereof (including Section 1 limiting the Guarantors’ aggregate liability to the Maximum Amount or each Guarantor’s aggregate liability to its Guaranty Percentage thereof, or Section 2 relating to this Guaranty being the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company, the Borrowers and their Affiliates against any Guarantor or any Guarantor Affiliate (other than a party to the Credit Agreement or another Credit Document or another Guarantor)) are illegal, invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, or asserting any theory of liability against any Guarantor or any Guarantor Affiliate (other than a party to the Credit Agreement or another Credit Document or another Guarantor) with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement or another Credit Document or this Guaranty other than liability of the Guarantors under this Guaranty (and, without duplication, the liability of the Guarantor Affiliates that are parties to the Credit Agreement and/or the other Credit Documents), then (x) the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty shall terminate ab initio and be null and void, (y) if any Guarantor has previously made any payments under this Guaranty, it shall be entitled to recover such payments from the Company and/or the Borrowers, and (z) neither any Guarantor nor any Guarantor Affiliate shall have any liability to the Company and/or either Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents or under this Guaranty (other than Investor under the Credit Agreement and/or the other Credit Documents).

4. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Company and the Borrowers that (a) this Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against its terms (subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law)), (b) such Guarantor has the right, power and authority to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform its obligations hereunder, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty by such Guarantor have been duly authorized by all necessary action on behalf of such Guarantor, and (c) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Guarantor.

5. Confidentiality. The identity of the actual parties providing this Guaranty (and the schedule to be delivered concurrently herewith) shall be treated as confidential and may not be disclosed, except with the express prior written consent of the Guarantors; provided, however, that the Company may disclose the same to the extent required by Law or New York Stock Exchange rule.

6. Severability. Any term or provision of this Guaranty that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction; provided, however, that this Guaranty may not be enforced without giving effect to the limitation of the amount payable hereunder to the Maximum Amount (and, in the case of any Guarantor, to its Guaranty Percentage thereof) provided in Section 1 and to the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 and to this Section 6.

7. Miscellaneous. Each of Sections 5.01 through 5.14 of the Investment Agreement (excluding Section 5.08) is hereby incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis.

General Maritime Corporation

STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

Date of Issuance: [ ], 2011 (the “Date of Issuance”)

Certificate No. W-[1]

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, General Maritime Corporation, a Xxxxxxxx Islands corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to OCM Marine Investments CTB, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempt company, and/or its registered assigns (the “Registered Holder”) the right (this “Warrant”) to purchase from the Company [ ] shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), at a price per share equal to $0.01 (the “Exercise Price”). This Warrant, and any additional warrants issued from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof, are collectively referred to herein as the “Warrants.” The Warrants issued or issuable pursuant to the terms hereof are part of a single series issued or issuable pursuant to the provisions of that certain Investment Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2011, by and between the Company and Investor (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Investment Agreement”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 6, unless the context otherwise requires. The amount and kind of securities obtainable pursuant to the rights granted hereunder are subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions contained in this Warrant.

For income tax purposes, the value of this Warrant on the date hereof is $[ ].(1)

This Warrant is subject to the following provisions:

Section 1. Exercise of Warrant.

(1) To be agreed to by the Company and Investor acting reasonably.

1A. Exercise Period. The holder of this Warrant may exercise, in whole or in part (but not as to a fractional share of Common Stock), the purchase rights represented by this Warrant at any time and from time to time after the Date of Issuance to and including the seventh (7th) anniversary hereof (the “Exercise Period”).

1B. Exercise Procedures.

(i) This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised (in whole or in part) when the Company has received all of the following items (as the case may be from time to time, the “Exercise Time”):

(a) a completed Exercise Agreement, executed by the Person exercising all or part of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant (the “Purchaser”);

(b) this Warrant;

(c) if this Warrant is not registered in the name of the Purchaser, an assignment or assignments in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (each, an “Assignment”) evidencing the assignment of this Warrant to such Purchaser, in which case the Registered Holder shall have complied with the provisions set forth in Section 8; and

(d) either (x) wire transfer of immediately available funds or a check payable to the Company in an amount equal to the product of the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased upon such exercise (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) or (y) the surrender to the Company of debt or equity securities of the Company having a Market Price equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price (provided that, for purposes of this Section 1B(i)(d), the Market Price of any note or other debt security or any preferred stock shall be deemed to be equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount or liquidation value thereof plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon or accrued or declared and unpaid dividends thereon).

(ii) As an alternative to the exercise of this Warrant as provided in Section 1B(i), the holder of this Warrant may exchange all or part of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant by surrendering this Warrant to the Company, together with a written notice to the Company that such holder is exchanging this Warrant (or a portion thereof) for an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified in the notice, from which the Company shall withhold and not issue to such holder a number of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Market Price equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price of the shares of Common Stock specified in such notice (and such withheld shares shall no longer be issuable under this Warrant).

(iii) The Company shall deliver to the Purchaser, no later than five (5) Business Days after any Exercise Time, shares of Common Stock issued upon the applicable exercise of this Warrant (“Warrant Exercise Shares”). Unless the Exercise Period has expired or all of the purchase rights represented hereby have been exercised, the Company shall, in the case of each Exercise Time, prepare a new Warrant, substantially identical hereto, representing the rights formerly represented by this Warrant which have not expired or been exercised and shall,

within such five (5) Business Day period, deliver such new Warrant to the Person designated for such delivery in the Exercise Agreement.

(iv) Notwithstanding the five (5) Business Day period described in Section 1B(iii), the Warrant Exercise Shares shall be deemed to have been issued to the Purchaser at the Exercise Time, and the Purchaser shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the record holder of such Warrant Exercise Shares at the Exercise Time.

(v) The issuance from time to time of Warrant Exercise Shares or any new Warrant shall be made without charge to the Registered Holder or the Purchaser for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Company in connection therewith. Each Warrant Exercise Share shall upon payment of the Exercise Price therefor, be fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of all liens.

(vi) The Company shall not close its books against the transfer of this Warrant or any Warrant Exercise Shares in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall from time to time take all such action as may be necessary to assure that the par value per share of the unissued Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant is at all times equal to or less than the Exercise Price then in effect.

(vii) The Company shall provide reasonable assistance and cooperation to any Registered Holder or Purchaser in connection with any filings required to be made with, or approvals required to be obtained of, any Governmental Authority by such Registered Holder or Purchaser prior to or in connection with any exercise of this Warrant (including by making any filings required to be made by the Company).

(viii) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a registered public offering or the sale of the Company, the exercise of any portion of this Warrant may, at the election of the holder hereof, be conditioned upon the consummation of such registered public offering or sale of the Company, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until the consummation of such transaction.

(ix) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants. The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violating the Company’s governing documents, any applicable Law or any requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) or any U.S. securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed. The Company shall not take any action which would cause the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to be less than the number of such shares required to be reserved hereunder for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants.

(x) Upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Company may require customary investment representations from the Purchaser to the extent necessary to assure that the issuance of the Common Stock hereunder shall not require registration or qualification under the Act, or

the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other applicable securities Laws (including as to the Purchaser’s investment intent and as to its status as an “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Act)).

1C. Exercise Agreement. Upon any exercise of this Warrant, the exercise agreement to be delivered by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 1B(i)(a) shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Exercise Agreement”), except that if the Warrant Exercise Shares are not to be issued in the name of the Purchaser, the Exercise Agreement shall also state the name of the Person to whom the certificates for such Warrant Exercise Shares are to be issued, and if the number of Warrant Exercise Shares to be issued in connection with such exercise does not include all the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder, it shall also state the name of the Person to whom a new Warrant for the unexercised portion of the rights hereunder is to be delivered. Such Exercise Agreement shall be dated the actual date of execution thereof.

Section 2. Adjustment of Number of Warrant Exercise Shares. In order to prevent dilution of the rights granted under this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2 (including Sections 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D).

2A. Customary Adjustments.

(i) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its Common Stock into a greater number of shares, subject to obtaining the Shareholder Approval, to the extent required, including pursuant to the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period combines (by reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased (subject to obtaining the Shareholder Approval, to the extent required, including pursuant to the NYSE Listed Company Manual).

(ii) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. Prior to the consummation of any Organic Change, but subject to obtaining the Shareholder Approval, to the extent required, including pursuant to the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that each holder of the Warrants shall thereafter have the right to acquire and receive, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder’s Warrant, such cash, stock, securities or other assets or property as would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change (if the holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such Organic Change) with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon exercise of such holder’s Warrant had such Organic Change not taken place. In any such case, the Company shall make appropriate provision with respect to such holders’ rights and interests

to insure that the provisions of this Section 2 and Sections 3 and 4 shall thereafter be applicable to the Warrants (including, in the case of any such consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor entity or purchasing entity is other than the Company, an immediate adjustment in the number and class of securities acquirable and receivable upon exercise of the Warrants). The Company shall not effect any Organic Change, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Company) which would result from such Organic Change assumes irrevocably and in writing, expressly for the benefit of each holder of Warrants (which assumption shall, unless such Organic Change is a bona fide third party transaction undertaken with a Person or Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company or its Subsidiaries, be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Requisite Holders), the obligation to deliver to each holder of the Warrants such cash, stock, securities or other assets or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to acquire.

(iii) Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2A, but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company shall make an appropriate adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant; provided that, no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2A(iii) shall decrease the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2A.

2B. Anti-Dilution Adjustments.

(i) Additional Warrants. If at any time prior to [ ], 2018,(2) the Company issues or sells, or, pursuant to Section 2B(ii), is deemed to have issued or sold, any share of Common Stock for a consideration per share (the “Per Share Issue Price”) less than $2.55 (subject to equitable adjustments to reflect stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations or other similar transactions after closing of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement), then immediately upon such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale (a “Triggering Issuance”), the Company shall, subject to obtaining Shareholder Approval, to the extent required, including pursuant to the NYSE Listed Company Manual, issue to the Registered Holder additional Warrants to acquire a number of shares Common Stock equal to the product of (i) 0.199, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to such Triggering Issuance and (iii) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then purchasable under the Warrants, and in the case of Investor and its Affiliates, Warrant Exercise Shares, then held by such Registered Holder, and (B) the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock for which Warrants theretofore have been issued by the Company (whether or not then exercised). Any such additional Warrants shall be in substantially the same form as this Warrant.

(ii) Deemed Issuance or Sale; Determination of Per Share Issue Price. For purposes Section 2B(i), the following shall be applicable to determining the “Per Share Issue Price” of deemed issuances of Common Stock:

(2) Insert the date of the 7th anniversary of the Closing Date.

(a) Issuance of Rights or Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any rights or options to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities (any such rights or options, “Options”), then such share or shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued and sold by the Company at such time for the Per Share Issue Price. For purposes of this paragraph, “Per Share Issue Price” for the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any such Option, or upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option, shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or to be received by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange of the Convertible Security. No further issuance of Warrants shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Security upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Security.

(b) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (any such securities, “Convertible Securities”), then such share or shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued and sold by the Company at such time for the Per Share Issue Price. For purposes of this paragraph, “Per Share Issue Price” for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Security. No further issuance of Warrants shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Security is made upon exercise of any Options with respect to which Warrants had been or are to be issued pursuant to Section 2B(ii)(a), no further issuance of Warrants shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

(c) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock changes at any time so as to reduce the Per Share Issue Price for the Common Stock issuable with respect thereto, the Company shall, subject to obtaining the Shareholder Approval, to the extent required, including pursuant to the NYSE Listed Company Manual, immediately issue to the Registered Holder a number of additional Warrants that, taken together with any Warrants previously issued pursuant to this Section 2B with respect to the initial issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of such Options or Convertible Securities, equals the number of Warrants which would have been issued at the time of such initial issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold. If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security which was outstanding as of the Date of Issuance are changed in

the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change for purposes of this Section 2B.

(d) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received in connection therewith shall be deemed to be the amount received by the Company therefor. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for any consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company shall be the Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options and/or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any such consideration, other than cash or securities, shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) at the time of such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale; provided that, if the Requisite Holders in good faith dispute such determination, fair value shall be determined by an appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Requisite Holders (subject, if Investor, together with its Affiliates, does not constitute the Requisite Holders, to the Company’s receipt of reasonable assurances from the Requisite Holders as to their ability to satisfy their obligations, if and to the extent applicable, contained at the end of this paragraph with respect to the fees and expenses of such appraiser). The Company and the Requisite Holders shall instruct such appraiser that it may not assign a fair value greater than the greatest value determined by either such party nor less than the lowest value determined by either such party. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding on the Company and the holders of the Warrants, and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be paid by the Company; provided that, if such appraiser determines that the actual fair value of the relevant consideration is (i) less than ten percent (10%) less than the fair value as determined by the Company Board, and (ii) closer to the fair value as determined by the Company Board than to the fair value as determined by the Requisite Holders, then such fees and expenses shall be paid by the Requisite Holders; provided, further, that each holder of Warrants agrees that it shall reimburse, upon demand, the Requisite Holders for such holder’s proportional share of such fees and expenses based on the number of Warrants held by such holder.

(e) Integrated Transactions. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, including the incurrence of any indebtedness by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities by the parties thereto, the Company Board shall reasonably determine in good

faith the consideration to be allocated to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities for purposes hereof; provided that, if the Company Board fails to make such determination at the time of such issuance or sale, such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration.

(f) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of any securities of the Company for the purpose of entitling them (x) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (y) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

2C. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, there shall be no adjustment to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of any Warrant with respect to (x) the granting of shares of restricted or unrestricted Common Stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights or performance shares (or, as applicable, the exercise thereof) to any director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or joint ventures pursuant to the General Maritime Corporation 2001 Stock Incentive Plan as in effect on March 25, 2011, or any other compensatory plan or arrangement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries approved by the Company Board or the Compensation Committee of the Company Board (the “Compensation Committee”), (y) Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or in respect of any Purchase Rights granted, issued or sold to the holder of this Warrant pursuant to Section 4, or (z) the issuance of any Common Stock or other securities upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any securities outstanding on the date hereof.

“Market Price” means as to any security the average of the closing prices of such security’s sales on all U.S. securities exchanges on which such security may at the time be listed, or, if there have been no sales on any such exchange on any day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on all such exchanges at the end of such day, or, if on any day such security is not so listed, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on such day in the U.S. over-the-counter market as reported by Pink OTC Markets, Inc., or any similar successor organization, in each such case averaged over a period of eleven (11) days consisting of the day as of which “Market Price” is being determined and the ten (10) consecutive Business Days prior to such day; provided that, if such security is listed on any U.S. securities exchange or quoted in a U.S. over-the-counter market the term “Business Day” as used in this sentence means Business Days on which such exchange or market, as applicable, is open for trading.

Any transfer in violation of the transfer conditions or restrictions (x) referred to in the legend endorsed hereon or (y) contained in the Investment Agreement shall be void ab initio.

Section 9. Warrant Exchangeable for Different Denominations.

Either party hereto from time to time may change its address, facsimile number or other information for the purpose of notices to that party by giving notice specifying such change to the other party.

Section 12. Remedies. The Company hereby agrees that, in the event that the Company violates any provisions of this Warrant (including the obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the exercise thereof), the remedies at Law available to the holder of this Warrant may be inadequate. In such event, the Requisite Holders and, with the prior written consent of the Requisite Holders, the holder of this Warrant, shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies any of them may have, to specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce or prevent any violations by the Company of this Warrant and/or any other Warrants.

(ii) Warrant Holder Registrable Securities.

determination). No request for registration under this Section 3(a)(ii) shall count as one of the permitted demand registrations hereunder unless the Warrant Securityholders are able to register and sell at least ninety percent (90%) of the Warrant Holder Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration.

All registrations requested pursuant to this Section 3(a) are referred to herein as “Demand Registrations”. Upon receipt of any request for any Demand Registration, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) give written notice of such request to all other Holders. The Company shall include in the requested registration all Registrable Securities requested to be included by such of the other Holders who shall make such request (which request shall not constitute a demand registration permitted under this Section 3(a)) by written notice to the Company delivered within fifteen (15) days of their receipt of the Company’s notice of such Demand Registration. If the Company shall receive a request for inclusion in the registration of the Registrable Securities of any additional Holder(s), it shall promptly so inform the Holder(s) which made the initial request for registration.

A Holder or Holders requesting a Demand Registration may, at any time prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such Demand Registration, revoke such request by providing a written notice to the Company revoking such request (a “Revocation Request”). A Demand Registration shall not be deemed to have been effected (and such Demand Registration shall not count as one of the demand registrations permitted under this Section 3(a)) unless a Registration Statement with respect thereto has become effective and the Registrable Securities registered thereunder for sale on a firm commitment basis are sold to the underwriters thereunder or are not so sold solely by reason of an act or omission by the Holders thereof; provided, however, that if such registration does not become effective after the Company has filed it solely by reason of (x) a Holder’s or Holders’ refusal to proceed (specifically excluding any such refusal following any delivery by the Company of a Delay Notice) or (y) the delivery of a Revocation Request, then such Demand Registration shall, subject to the last sentence of each of Section 3(a)(i) and Section 3(a)(ii), be deemed to have been effected unless the Holder(s) requesting such Demand Registration pay all reasonable out-of-pocket Registration Expenses incurred by the Company (for itself or as a result of its obligation to reimburse such Holder(s)) in connection with such registration.

(b) Effectiveness of Registration Statement. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Registration Statement relating to any Demand Registration to become effective as promptly as practicable (and in any event within ninety (90) days) following the request for such Demand Registration, (ii) thereafter keep such Registration Statement effective continuously for the period specified in the next succeeding paragraph and (iii) prevent the happening of any event of the kinds described in clauses (4), (5) and (6) of Section 6(a)(ii) hereof.

Except as provided in the last paragraph of Section 3(a) hereof, a Demand Registration will not be deemed to have been effected unless the Registration Statement relating thereto has become effective under the Securities Act and remained continuously effective (except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement) for a period ending on the earlier of (x) the date which is six (6) months after the effective date of such Registration Statement (subject to extension as provided in Section 6(b) hereof) and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities

covered by such Registration Statement have been sold and the distribution contemplated thereby has been completed.

(c) Inclusion of Other Securities; Cutback. The Company, and any other holder of the Company’s securities who has registration rights, may include his, her or its securities in any Demand Registration; provided, however, that if the managing underwriter of a proposed Underwritten Offering contemplated by such Demand Registration advises the Holder or Holders in writing that the total amount or kind of securities to be included in such proposed Underwritten Offering is sufficiently large or of a type which such managing underwriter believes would adversely affect the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, then the amount or kind of securities offered for the account of the following groups of holders shall be reduced pro rata among members of such group in accordance with the number of shares of each such kind of securities held by each of them in the following order of priority (with the securities to be reduced first listed first): (i) securities other than Registrable Securities offered by Persons other than the Company; (ii) securities offered by the Company; and (iii) Registrable Securities; provided, that no Registrable Securities shall be reduced until all securities other than Registrable Securities and securities offered by the Company are entirely excluded from the offering.

Section 4. Shelf Registration.

(a) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, no later than twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, a Registration Statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities as would permit or facilitate the resale and distribution of all the Registrable Securities (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof (and in any event within 24 months following the Closing Date), and to keep the Shelf Registration Statement (subject to the terms and conditions hereof) continuously effective under the Securities Act for (i) in the case of the Warrant Holder Registrable Securities, a period ending on the date on which all Warrant Holder Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement either have been sold, and the distribution contemplated thereby has been completed, or have ceased to be Warrant Holder Registrable Securities, and (ii) in the case of the PCG Registrable Securities, a period ending on the earlier of (x) [ ], 2021 and (y) the date on which all PCG Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement either have been sold, and the distribution contemplated thereby has been completed, or have ceased to be PCG Registrable Securities.

(b) The Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 4 shall, to the extent possible under applicable law, be effected to permit sales on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Any takedown under the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 4 may or may not be underwritten; provided, that (i) Holders may request any underwritten takedown only to be effected as a Demand Registration (in which event, unless such Demand Registration would not require representatives of the Company to meet with prospective purchasers of the Company’s securities, a demand registration must be available to such Holder under Section 3(a) and the number of demand registrations available to such Holder shall be reduced by one (1), subject to, (x) the last paragraph of Section 3(a) hereof and (y) the last sentence of each of Section 3(a)(i) and Section 3(a)(ii) hereof) or (ii) Holders may request an

unlimited number of underwritten takedowns to be effected in accordance with the terms of Section 5 hereof. The Company shall be entitled to effect the Shelf Registration Statement on any available form under the Securities Act.

(c) The Company, and any other holder of the Company’s securities who has registration rights, may include its securities in the Shelf Registration Statement effected pursuant to this Section 4.

Section 5. Piggyback Registration. If (x) in the case of the Warrant Securityholders, at any time, and (y) in the case of the PCG Securityholders, at any time on or prior to [ ], 2021, in either case, the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement with respect to any of its equity securities, whether for its own account (other than in connection with any Registration Statement contemplated by Section 3 or Section 4 hereof or a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or S-8 (or any successor or substantially similar form), or in connection with (A) an employee stock option, stock purchase or compensation plan or securities issued or issuable pursuant to any such plan, or (B) a dividend reinvestment plan) (a “Company Registration”) or for the account of a holder of securities of the Company pursuant to demand registration rights granted by the Company (a “Requesting Securityholder”), other than for the registration of securities for sale on a non-underwritten continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415 (a “Requesting Securityholder Registration”), then the Company shall in each case give written notice of such proposed filing to all Holders at least twenty (20) Business Days before the anticipated filing date of any such Registration Statement by the Company, and such notice shall offer to all Holders the opportunity to have any or all of the Registrable Securities held by such Holders included in such Registration Statement. Each Holder desiring to have such Holder’s Registrable Securities registered under this Section 5 shall so advise the Company in writing within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of receipt of such notice (which request shall set forth the amount of Registrable Securities for which registration is requested), and the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all such Registrable Securities so requested to be included therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter of any such proposed Underwritten Offering advises the Company in writing that the total amount or kind of securities to be included in such proposed Underwritten Offering is sufficiently large or of a type which such managing underwriter believes would adversely affect the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, then the amount or kind of securities offered for the account of the following groups of holders shall be reduced pro rata among members of such group in accordance with the number of shares of each such kind of securities held by each of them in the following order of priority: (i) if a registration under this Section 5 is a Company Registration, then the order of priority shall be (with the securities to be reduced first listed first) (A) securities other than Registrable Securities offered by Persons other than the Company, (B) Registrable Securities, and (C) securities offered by the Company; and (ii) if a registration under this Section 5 is a Requesting Securityholder Registration, then the order of priority shall be (with the securities to be reduced first listed first) (A) securities offered by the Company, and (B)(x) securities other than Registrable Securities offered by Persons other than the Company and (y) Registrable Securities, pro rata among clause (x) and this clause (y) collectively in accordance with the number of securities held by them. Holders exercising their rights under this Section 5 with respect to a Company Registration in which the Company has been able to sell all of the securities it sought to include in such Company Registration (including by means of the underwriter’s overallotment option) shall be entitled to sell their Registrable Securities by means

of the underwriter’s overallotment option to the extent not fully utilized by the Company. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, the Company may withdraw or postpone a Registration Statement referred to in this Section 5 at any time before it becomes effective or withdraw, postpone or terminate the offering after it becomes effective without obligation to the Holder or Holders of the Registrable Securities.

Section 6. Registration Procedures.

(iv) permit any Holder which Holder, in its sole and exclusive judgment, might be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling person of the Company, to participate in the preparation of any Registration Statement and to allow such Holder to provide language for insertion therein, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, which in the reasonable judgment of such Holder and its counsel should be included;

(v) furnish to each selling Holder and each managing underwriter, if any, without charge, (1) as many conformed copies as may reasonably be requested, of the then effective Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto, including financial statements, schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (including those incorporated by reference), (2) as many copies of the then effective Prospectus (including each prospectus subject to completion) and any amendments or supplements thereto as such Persons may reasonably request and (3) such other documents as such Persons may reasonably request in order to facilitate the offering;

(xii) make available for inspection by any Holder selling Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such Holder or underwriter, all financial and other pertinent records, corporate and business documents and properties of the Company as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, employees, agents, representatives and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Holder, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such Registration Statement, subject to any confidentiality restrictions which the Company reasonably deems necessary and such parties agreeing to be bound by a confidentiality agreement (provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to make available for inspection, or otherwise supply, any documents, materials or other information to any Holder, or any of the other Persons set forth above, where the Company reasonably determines that doing so would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or conflict with or violate any law or order);

(xvii) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, if reasonably requested by Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration, cause to be delivered, immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (and at the time of delivery of any Registrable Securities sold pursuant thereto), one or more cold comfort letters from the Company’s independent certified public accountants addressed to each underwriter, stating that such accountants are independent public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, and otherwise in customary form and covering such financial and accounting matters as are customarily covered by cold comfort letters of the independent certified public accountants delivered in connection with primary or secondary underwritten public offerings, as the case may be, to underwriters, to the extent customary and available in accordance with law and professional practice standards;

(b) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 6(a)(ii) hereof, such Holder shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the then current Prospectus until (1) such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that a new Registration Statement covering the offer of Registrable Securities has become effective under the Securities Act, (2) such Holder receives copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by this Section 6(b), or (3) such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.

(b) Material Development Condition. With respect to any Registration Statement filed or to be filed pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4 hereof, if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that it would be materially detrimental (a “Material Development Condition”) to the Company or any subsidiary or its shareholders for such a Registration Statement to become effective or to be maintained effective, or for sales of Registrable Securities to continue pursuant to the Registration Statement, because of the existence of, or in anticipation of, any acquisition or corporate reorganization or other transaction, financing activity, stock repurchase or development involving the Company or any subsidiary, or the unavailability for reasons substantially beyond the Company’s control of any required financial statements, or any other event or condition of similar significance to the Company or any subsidiary, the Company shall, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, be entitled, upon the giving of a written notice (a “Delay Notice”) to such effect, certified by the

President or any Vice President of the Company, to each Holder of Registrable Securities included or to be included in such Registration Statement, (i) to cause sales of Registrable Securities by such Holder pursuant to such Registration Statement to cease, (ii) to delay actions to bring about the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and sales thereunder or, upon the written advice of counsel, cause such Registration Statement to be withdrawn and the effectiveness of such Registration Statement terminated, or (iii) in the event no such Registration Statement has yet been filed, to delay filing any such Registration Statement, until, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, such Material Development Condition no longer exists (notice of which the Company shall promptly deliver to any Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to which any such Registration Statement has been filed). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(b): (1) the Company shall not be entitled to cause sales of Registrable Securities to cease or to delay any registration of Registrable Securities required pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4 hereof by reason of any existing or anticipated Material Development Condition more than a total of three (3) times or for a period of more than an aggregate of ninety (90) days within any consecutive three hundred sixty-five (365) day period, as above provided; (2) in the event a Registration Statement is filed and subsequently withdrawn by reason of any existing or anticipated Material Development Condition as hereinbefore provided, the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable prior to, and in any event no later than upon, the expiration of such Material Development Condition, or if sooner, the expiration of such ninety (90)-day period, (x) notify, in writing, the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration of such expiration and (y) if requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration (which request shall not constitute an additional demand registration under Section 3(a)), cause a new Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities to be filed with the SEC, and the registration period for such new Registration Statement shall be the greater of thirty (30) days or the number of days that remained in the required registration period with respect to the withdrawn Registration Statement at the time it was withdrawn; and (3) in the event the Company elects not to withdraw or terminate the effectiveness of any such Registration Statement but to cause a Holder or Holders to refrain from selling Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement for any period during the required registration period, such required registration period with respect to such Holders shall be extended by the number of days during such required registration period that such Holders are required to refrain from selling Registrable Securities.

(c) Limitation on Demand, Shelf and Piggyback Registration Rights. Anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement notwithstanding, when in the written opinion of counsel for the Company (which counsel shall be experienced in securities law matters) registration of the Registrable Securities is not required by the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws in connection with a proposed sale of such Registrable Securities under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, the Holder shall have no rights pursuant to Section 3, Section 4 or Section 5 hereof, to request a registration in connection with such proposed sale; provided, however, that if counsel for such Holder(s) of Registrable Securities reasonably disagrees in its own written opinion delivered to the Company with such written opinion of counsel for the Company, the foregoing limitation on registration rights shall be of no force or effect.

Section 8. Registration Expenses. All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including all registration and filing fees, listing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including

reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications or registrations (or the obtaining of exemptions therefrom) of the Registrable Securities), fees of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., transfer and registration fees of transfer agents and registrars, printing expenses (including expenses of printing Prospectuses), messenger and delivery expenses, internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), fees and disbursements of its counsel and its independent certified public accountants (including expenses of any special audit or accounting review), securities acts liability insurance (if the Company elects to obtain such insurance), fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with any registration hereunder, reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for the Holders (and any appropriate local counsel) selected by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration, and fees and expenses of other Persons retained by the Company (all such expenses being referred to as “Registration Expenses”), shall be borne by the Company; provided, that Registration Expenses shall not include out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Holders and underwriting discounts, commissions or fees attributable to the sale of the Registrable Securities, which shall be paid by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of shares registered on their behalf.

Section 9. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, but without duplication, each Holder, its officers, directors, employees, partners, principals, equity holders, managed or advised accounts, advisors and agents, and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (each an “Indemnified Party”), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation and reasonable legal fees and expenses and including expenses incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened) resulting from any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact in, or any omission (or alleged omission) of a material fact required to be stated in, any Registration Statement, Prospectus or free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus or free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws applicable to the Company in connection with any such registration, as such expenses are incurred, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Party expressly for use therein. The Company will also indemnify underwriters participating in the distribution, their officers, directors, employees, partners and agents, and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act), to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders, if so requested.

(b) Indemnification by Holders.

Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation and reasonable legal fees and expenses and including expenses incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened) resulting from any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of material fact in, or any omission (or alleged omission) of a material fact required to be stated in, the Registration Statement, Prospectus or free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus or free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or any violation by such Holder of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws applicable to such Holder in connection with any such registration, as such expenses are incurred, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion therein. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to indemnify shall be several, and not joint and several, among the Holders. In no event shall any participating Holder be liable for any amount in excess of the net proceeds (net of payment of all expenses) received by such Holder from the Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such Registration Statement.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel of such indemnifying party’s choice, subject to the written consent of the indemnified party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified Person unless (A) the indemnifying party shall have agreed in writing to pay them, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party in a timely manner or (C) the named parties to an action, claim or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include any indemnified party and the indemnifying party or any of its Affiliates and in the reasonable judgment of any such Person, based upon advice of its counsel, (1) a conflict of interest may exist between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person) or (2) there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; provided, that the scope of engagement of such counsel shall be limited to such defense or defenses; provided, further, that the indemnifying party shall be responsible to pay the fees and expenses of only one law firm plus one local counsel in each necessary jurisdiction pursuant to these clauses (A), (B) and (C). The indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by an indemnified party without its written consent. The entry of any judgment and any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to an indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation shall be subject to the written consent of the indemnified party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of the claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus one local counsel if required in a specific instance) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect

to such claim. The failure by an indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 9, except to the extent the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action.

(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section 9(a) or Section 9(b) hereof is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless as contemplated by Section 9(a) and Section 9(b) hereof, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement or the omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or parties, on the one hand, or the indemnified party, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if the contribution pursuant to this Section 9(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account such equitable considerations. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentations. In no event shall any participating Holder be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds (net of payment of all expenses) received by such Holder from the Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such Registration Statement. In no event shall any participating Holder be liable for any amount in excess of the net proceeds (net of payment of all expenses) received by such Holder from the Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such Registration Statement.

Section 10. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate in any Underwritten Offering hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements consented to by the Persons entitled under Section 6(c) to approve such arrangements (including pursuant to the terms of any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the managing underwriters, provided that, no Holder will be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder has requested the Company to include in any registration) and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided that no Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Underwritten Offering shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such Holder, such Holder’s title to, and ownership of, the Registrable Securities, such Holder’s power and authority, such Holder’s intended method of distribution, and such other representations and warranties, if any, as may be customary under the circumstances) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to the Company or the underwriters with respect thereto, except as otherwise provided in Section 9(b). Nothing in this Section 10 shall be construed to create any additional rights regarding the registration of Registrable Securities in any Person otherwise than as set forth herein.

Section 11. Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants that it is not a party to, or otherwise subject to, any other agreement granting registration rights to any other Person with respect to any securities of the Company. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company giving such holder or prospective holder any registration rights any terms of which are inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders hereunder.

Section 12. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC (including Rule 144) that may permit the sale of the restricted securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to:

(a) make and keep public information regarding the Company available as those terms and understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act at all times;

(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at any time it is subject to such reporting requirements; and

(c) so long as a Holder owns any Restricted Securities, furnish to the Holder forthwith upon written request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself to any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration.

Section 13. Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 13, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless (a) with respect to a particular offering hereunder, the Company has obtained the written consent of (i) Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities (on a Common Stock equivalent basis) included in such offering, as determined by the Company, or (ii) the Holder Representative with respect to such offering, or (b) in any other event, the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities (on a Common Stock equivalent basis) then outstanding, as determined by the Company. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified number of Registrable Securities is required hereunder, Registrable Securities held by the Company shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required number.

Section 14. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered first-class mail, telecopier, or air-courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:

(a) If to a Holder, initially at the address and/or telecopier number set forth below such Holder’s signature to this Agreement, and thereafter at such other address as may be designated by such Holder from time to time by notice given in accordance with the provisions of

Section 15. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto, including without the need for an express assignment to subsequent Holders of the Registrable Securities who acquire their shares in transactions not involving a registration under the Securities Act or a sale of shares in the public markets; provided, that the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes in writing the obligations of such transferor under this Agreement; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, any transferee or assignee of any Registrable Securities shall deliver to the Company written notice thereof within fifteen (15) days of such transfer or assignment, and if such transferee or assignee fails to deliver such written notice to the Company within such fifteen (15)-day period, such Person shall not be deemed a Holder hereunder.

Section 16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Securityholders may accede to this Agreement at different times by executing a signature page hereto, at which time any such executing Securityholder shall be considered a party hereto; provided that such accession shall not act as a waiver or satisfaction of any other condition precedent under any other agreement between the Company and such Securityholder.

Section 17. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

Section 18. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW AND NEW YORK CIVIL PRACTICE LAWS AND RULES 327(b).

Section 19. Jurisdiction; Forum. Each party hereto consents to the jurisdiction and venue of the United States federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, for any action, suit or proceeding arising from or in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement. Each party hereto waives any objection to the laying of venue in such courts and any claim that any such action has been brought in an inconvenient forum. To the extent permitted by law, any judgment in respect of a dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be enforced in any other jurisdiction within or outside the United States by suit on the judgment, a certified copy of such judgment being conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such judgment. Each party hereto agrees that personal service of process may be effected by any of the means specified in Section 14, addressed to such party. The foregoing shall not limit the rights of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 20. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 21. Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and is intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.

Section 22. Effect of Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any other agreement between or among the Company, Oaktree and/or the PCG Parties to the contrary, in the event that this Agreement is executed and delivered by the Company, on the one hand, and either (x) the PCG Parties, but not Oaktree, on the other hand, or (y) Oaktree, but not the PCG Parties, on the other hand, then the Persons executing and delivering this Agreement as contemplated by the foregoing clause (x) or (y), as the case may be, shall be deemed to be parties to this Agreement for all purposes hereof (and, without limitation, shall have all of the rights, interests and obligations of a party hereto), notwithstanding the fact that the other such Persons (as contemplated by the foregoing clause (x) or (y), as the case may be) have not executed and delivered this Agreement, and such other Persons which have not executed and delivered this Agreement shall not be deemed to be parties to this Agreement for any purposes hereof (and, without limitation, shall have none of the rights, interests or obligations of a party hereto) unless and until such Persons execute and deliver this Agreement.
