W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Partners, Capital GP L.L.C., a Republic of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands limited liability company (“Partners GP”), Crude Carriers Corp., a Republic of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands corporation (the “Company”), and Poseidon Project Corp., a Republic of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands Corporation (“MergerCo”), are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, MergerCo will merge with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving entity (the “Merger”), such that following the Merger, Partners will be the sole stockholder of the Company, and each outstanding share of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and share of Class B Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Stock”), of the Company will be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration specified therein;

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, each Shareholder is the record and/or beneficial owner, in the aggregate, of the number of shares of Common Stock and Class B Stock set forth opposite such Shareholder’s name on Schedule I hereto (the “Existing Shares”); and

WHEREAS, as a material inducement to Partners entering into the Merger Agreement, Partners has required that the Shareholders agree, and the Shareholders have agreed, to enter into this Agreement and abide by the covenants and obligations with respect to the Existing Shares set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

1.1           Defined Terms. The following capitalized terms, as used in this Agreement, shall have the meanings set forth below. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement.

“Affiliate” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 of the rules and regulations under the Securities Act, unless otherwise expressly stated herein. For purposes of this Agreement, with respect to each Shareholder or other Person, Affiliate shall not include the Company or any Person that is directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controlled by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, no officer or director of the Company, Partners, Partners GP or any of their controlled Affiliates shall be deemed to be an Affiliate of a Shareholder or other Person by virtue of his or her status as a director or officer of the Company, Partners, Partners GP or any of their controlled Affiliates.

“Beneficial Ownership” by a Person of any securities includes ownership by any Person who, directly or indirectly, including through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has or shares (i) voting power which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of, such security; and/or (ii) investment power which includes the power to dispose, or to direct the disposition, of such security; and shall otherwise be interpreted in accordance with the term “beneficial ownership” as defined in Rule 13d-3 adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act; provided that for purposes of determining Beneficial Ownership, a Person shall be deemed to be the Beneficial Owner of any securities which such Person has, at any time during the term of this Agreement, the right to acquire pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or otherwise (irrespective of whether the right to acquire such securities is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time, including the passage of time in excess of 60 days, the satisfaction of any conditions, the occurrence of any event or any combination of the foregoing). The terms “Beneficially Own” and “Beneficially Owned” shall have a correlative meaning.

“Transfer” means, directly or indirectly, to sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or similarly dispose of (by merger (including by conversion into securities or other consideration), by tendering into any tender or exchange offer, by testamentary disposition, by operation of law or otherwise), either voluntarily or involuntarily, or to enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the voting of or sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or similar disposition of (by merger, by tendering into any tender or exchange offer, by testamentary disposition, by operation of law or otherwise).

ARTICLE 2

VOTING

2.1           Agreement to Vote. Each Shareholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, at the Company Meeting and at any other meeting of the Stockholders, however called, including any adjournment or postponement thereof, and in connection with any written consent of the Stockholders relating to the Merger or an Acquisition Proposal, such Shareholder shall to the fullest extent that the Existing Shares are entitled to vote thereon or consent thereto:

2

(a)           appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause its Existing Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum; and

(b)           vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, or deliver (or cause to be delivered) a written consent covering all of the Existing Shares (i) in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement, the approval of the Merger and any other action required in furtherance thereof submitted for the vote or written consent of Stockholders; (ii) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement; (iii) against any Acquisition Proposal; and (iv) against any action, agreement or transaction that would or would reasonably be expected to materially impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage, frustrate the purposes of or adversely affect the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

2.2           No Inconsistent Agreements. Each Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees that, except for this Agreement and as contemplated by this Agreement, such Shareholder (a) has not entered into, and shall not enter into at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to its Existing Shares, (b) has not granted, and shall not grant at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, a proxy, consent or power of attorney with respect to its Existing Shares (other than a proxy or proxies to vote its Existing Shares in a manner consistent with this Agreement) and (c) shall not knowingly take any action at any time while this Agreement remains in effect that would make any representation or warranty of such Shareholder contained herein untrue or incorrect in any material respect or have the effect of preventing or disabling such Shareholder from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.

2.3           Proxy. In order to secure the obligations set forth herein,  each Shareholder hereby irrevocably appoints during the term of this Agreement as its proxy and attorney-in-fact, as the case may be, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, in his capacity as an officer of Partners, and any individual who shall hereafter succeed to any such office of Partners and any other Person designated in writing by Partners (collectively, the “Grantees”), each of them individually, with full power of substitution, to vote or execute written consents with respect to the Existing Shares in accordance with Section 2.1 and, in the discretion of the Grantees, with respect to any proposed postponements or adjournments of any annual or special meeting of the Stockholders at which any of the matters described in Section 2.1(b) are to be considered; provided that any exercise of this proxy by such Grantees shall be subject to the approval of such exercise by the Partners Conflicts Committee. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, this proxy is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and each Shareholder will take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by such Shareholder with respect to the Existing Shares to the extent that such proxy is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

Each Shareholder hereby represents that, as of the date hereof, such Shareholder is not engaged in any discussions or negotiations with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shareholder’s Representatives to immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished and will take commercially reasonable steps to inform its Representatives of the obligations undertaken by such Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement, including this Section 4.4.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (i) none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit, limit or restrict such Shareholder or any Representative of a Shareholder who is an officer of the Company, Partners or Partners GP or a member of the Partners Board or the Company Board from exercising his or her fiduciary duties to the Company or Partners by voting or taking any other action whatsoever in his or her capacity as an officer or director, including with respect to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; and (ii) no action taken by the Company or Partners in respect of any Acquisition Proposal shall serve as the basis of a claim that a Shareholder is in breach of its obligations hereunder notwithstanding the fact that such Shareholder or such Shareholder’s Representative, in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Company or Partners GP, has provided advice or assistance to the Company or Partners in connection therewith.

7

4.8           Waiver of Appraisal Rights and Dissenters’ Rights and Actions.  Each Shareholder agrees not to exercise any rights (including under Section 101 of the Business Corporations Act of the Associations Law of the Republic of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands) to demand appraisal of any shares of Common Stock, Class B Stock or other securities of the Company or rights to dissent which may arise with respect to the Merger.

10

become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

5.8           Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the schedule annexed hereto, and, solely to the extent of the defined terms referenced herein and as provided in Section 4.3 hereof, the Merger Agreement embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written and oral, that may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

5.9           Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)           This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Law of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

(b)           Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware, or if (but only if) that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such action or proceeding, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Process in any such action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court.  Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 5.5 shall be deemed effective service or process on such party.  The foregoing shall not limit the rights of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the aforesaid courts and to accept service of process in any manner permitted by such courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason, (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable law, any claim that (i) the proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such proceeding is improper or (iii) this

11

Agreement, or the subject matter of this Agreement, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

(c)           EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 5.8.

5.10           Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by Partners and each Shareholder. Each party may waive any right of such party hereunder by an instrument in writing signed by such party and delivered to Partners and the Shareholders.

5.11           Remedies.

(a)           Each party hereto acknowledges that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any covenant or agreement in this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms, and it is therefore agreed that, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the non-breaching party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof. Each party hereto agrees not to oppose the granting of such relief in the event a court determines that such a breach has occurred, and to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.
