STOCK OPTION GRANT AGREEMENT NAVIG8 CRUDE TANKERS INC
Exhibit 10.130
NAVIG8 CRUDE TANKERS INC
THIS STOCK OPTION GRANT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of 8th July 2014 (the “Grant Date”) sets forth the agreement of Navig8 Crude Tankers Inc (the “Company”) to grant stock options to L. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Grantee”), a prospective member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Common Stock”), on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter provided.
The stock options to be granted pursuant hereto shall not be “incentive stock options” for purposes of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
1. Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to the Grantee the right and option to purchase a total of 15,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Stock Options”).
2. Exercise Price. The per share exercise price of the Stock Options is $13.50(the “Exercise Price”). The Exercise Price may be adjusted as provided in Section 6 below.
3. Method of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the exercisable portion of the Stock Options may be exercised upon (a) notice to the Company on such form, as in such manner, as provided by the Board, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Stock Options are being exercised, and signed by the Grantee, and (b) delivery of the Exercise Price with respect to the exercised portion of the Stock Options in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Stock Options may be exercised for whole shares only.
The Exercise Price with respect to the exercised Stock Options shall be paid in full at the time the Stock Options are exercised. The full Exercise Price shall be paid by certified or official bank check or, in the sole discretion of the Board, in such other form as may be consented to by the Board and permissible under applicable law (including by the withholding of shares of Common Stock for which the Stock Options are exercised). A valid exercise requires that the Grantee deliver the form of exercise notice and full payment for the Exercise Price of the Stock Options to be exercised to the Company.
4. Exercisability. Subject to and conditioned upon the Grantee’s continued service as a member of the Board from the Grant Date through the third anniversary of the Grant Date, and subject to the provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement, the Stock Options shall become exercisable on the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Vesting Date”).
Subject to earlier termination and forfeiture as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement, the Stock Option shall not be exercisable after, and shall expire on, the date falling three (3) months after the Vesting Date (the “Scheduled Termination Date”).
The Stock Options awarded hereunder shall not be transferable, and shall be exercisable during the Grantee’s lifetime only by the Grantee.
During the term of the Stock Options, any exercisable portion of the Stock Options not previously theretofore exercised may be exercised in part or in whole, subject to the early termination of the Stock Options as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement. The Board, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the exercisability of all or any portion of the Stock Options at such times and under such circumstances as the Board deems appropriate.
5. Cessation of Board Service; Treatment Upon IPO or Company Sale. The Stock Options granted under this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect from and after the date the Grantee ceases to be a member of the Board, save in the case of the Grantee’s continuous service as a member of the Board from the Grant Date through the IPO Date (if earlier than the Vesting Date) where the Grantee is required to terminate his service as a member of the Board at the time of the IPO, in which case the Stock Options will remain outstanding following his ceasing to serve as a member of the Board and shall become exercisable by the Grantee (a) on the Vesting Date and
remain exercisable thereafter through the Scheduled Termination Date or (b) if earlier, on the date following the IPO Date on which there is no longer any Company shareholder who is subject to any lock-up period or other transfer restriction period imposed in connection with the IPO, in which case the Stock Options shall remain exercisable for a period of 90 days thereafter.
In the event the Grantee continues to serve as a member of the Board following an IPO, the Stock Options shall become exercisable prior to the Vesting Date in the event the Grantee is thereafter removed from the Board involuntarily without cause prior to the Vesting Date, in which event the Stock Options shall become exercisable on the date of such removal from the Board and remain exercisable for a period of 90 days thereafter; it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Grantee’s ceasing to serve on the Board following an IPO for any other reason (including removal for cause or voluntary resignation) shall result in the Stock Options being terminated and of no further force or effect from and after the date of such cessation of Board membership.
If, prior to an IPO, there occurs a coordinated private sale in which Company shareholders collectively sell more than 50% of the Common Stock of the Company to a third-party purchaser in a single transaction (a “Company Sale”), and after the consummation of a Company Sale the Grantee is removed from the Board involuntarily without cause prior to the Vesting Date, then the Stock Options shall become exercisable on the date of such removal from the Board and remain exercisable for a period of 90 days thereafter; it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Grantee’s ceasing to serve on the Board after the consummation of a Company Sale for any other reason (including removal for cause or voluntary resignation) shall result in the Stock Options being terminated and of no further force or effect from and after the date of such cessation of Board membership.
6. Adjustment Provisions. The Stock Options and the terms of this Agreement may be subject to adjustment in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including any extraordinary dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Company shares, other securities or other property), stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, combination, repurchase or exchange of Company shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Company shares or other securities of the Company, dissolution or liquidation of the Company, sale of all or substantially all the Company’s assets, or other similar corporate transaction or event, or changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations or other requirements of any governmental body or securities exchange, accounting principles or law), other than an Equity Restructuring (as defined below), affecting the Company, any Affiliate, the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or shares of Common Stock, whenever the Board determines that such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Stock Options and this Agreement, and then the Board shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the Stock Option and the terms of this Agreement, including providing for (a) adjustment to (i) the number of shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or property) subject to the Stock Options and (ii) the Exercise Price and (b) a substitution or assumption of the Stock Options, accelerating the exercisability of the Stock Options, or accelerating the termination of the Stock Options by providing for a period of time for exercise prior to the occurrence of such event, or, if deemed appropriate or desirable, providing for a cash payment to the Grantee in consideration for the cancellation of the outstanding Stock Options (it being understood that, in such event, if the Stock Options’ per share Exercise Price is equal to, or in excess of, the Fair Market Value of a share subject to the Stock Options, then the Stock Options may be cancelled and terminated without any payment or consideration therefor).
In connection with the occurrence of any Equity Restructuring, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, the number and type of shares of Common Stock or other property subject to the outstanding Stock Options and the Exercise Price shall be equitably adjusted, and the adjustments provided under this paragraph shall be nondiscretionary and shall be final and binding on the Grantee and the Company in the event of an Equity Restructuring.
7. Taxes/Withholding. All payments or distributions of the Stock Options made hereunder or of shares of Common Stock covered by the Stock Options shall be net of any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to applicable federal, national, state, local or other applicable tax withholding requirements. The Company may require the Grantee to remit to it an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax withholding requirements prior to the delivery of any Stock Options or certificates for such shares of Common Stock. In lieu thereof, the Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold the amount of such taxes from any other sums due or to become due from
such corporation or its Affiliates to the Grantee as the Company shall determine, and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for payment of such taxes. The Company may, in its discretion and subject to such rules as it may adopt (including any as may be required to satisfy applicable tax and/or non-tax regulatory requirements), permit the Grantee to pay all or a portion of the federal, national, state, local or other applicable withholding taxes arising in connection with the Stock Options or shares of Common Stock by electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount to be withheld, provided that such withholding shall only be at rates required by applicable statutes or regulations. Fractional share amounts shall be settled in cash.
The Grantee is solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may arise in connection with the Stock Options and this Agreement (including, without limitation, any taxes arising under Sections 409A and 457A of the Code) and the Company shall not have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold the Grantee from any or all of such taxes. The Board shall have the discretion, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to unilaterally modify this Agreement and the Stock Options in a manner that conforms with the requirements of Sections 409A and 457A of the Code (to the extent applicable). The Board shall have the sole discretion to interpret the requirements of the Code, including, without limitation, Sections 409A and 457A, for purposes of this Agreement and the Stock Options.
To the extent applicable, this Agreement and the Stock Options shall be interpreted in accordance with Sections 409A and 457A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Board determines that this Agreement and the Stock Options granted hereunder may be subject to Section 409A or 457A of the Code, the Board may adopt such amendments to this Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Board determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt this Agreement and the Stock Options granted hereunder from Sections 409A and 457A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Stock Options, or (b) comply with the requirements of Sections 409A and 457A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes under Sections 409A and 457A of the Code.
8. Definitions. The following terms shall have the meanings ascribed below:

C. The “Fair Market Value” of a share of Common Stock on any day shall be the closing price on the primary stock exchange upon which such shares are then listed, or, if no such price is reported for such day, the average of the high bid and low asked price of Common Stock as reported for such day. If no quotation is made for the applicable day, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on such day shall be determined in the manner set forth in the preceding sentence for the next preceding trading day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is no reported closing price or high bid/low asked price that satisfies the preceding sentences, or if otherwise deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on any day shall be determined by such methods and procedures as shall be established from time to time by the Board. The “Fair Market Value” of any property other than Common Stock shall be the fair market value of such property determined by such methods and procedures as shall be established from time to time by the Board.

AMENDMENT AND NOVATION AGREEMENT
TO STOCK OPTION GRANT AGREEMENT
This amendment and novation agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into on 7th May 2015 by and among Navig8 Crude Tankers Inc (the “Company”), General Maritime Corporation (to be renamed Gener8 Maritime, Inc.) (“Gener8”) and L. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Grantee”) (each a “Party”, and together the “Parties”).
WHEREAS, on February 24, 2015, the Company, Gener8, Gener8 Maritime Acquisition, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), and each of the equityholders’ representatives named therein entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which it is intended that Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gener8, and that upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), Gener8 will change its name to Gener8 Maritime, Inc.
WHEREAS, the Merger is intended to be consummated on 7 May 2015 by the filing with the Registrar of Corporations of the Republic of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands, articles of merger executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Business Corporations Act, as amended, of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3.1(b) of the Merger Agreement the Company and the Grantee wish to enter into an amendment and novation of the Stock Option Grant Agreement dated as of 8th July 2014 by and between the Company and the Grantee (the “Option Grant”) to make certain amendments to the Option Grant to reflect the Merger and so that Gener8 shall be a party to the Option Grant (as amended and novated by this Agreement) and shall be entitled to all rights, must perform all obligations and be bound by the terms thereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree to amend and novate the Option Grant as follows:
1. Amendment
Upon the consummation of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), the Option Grant shall be amended (and save where the context otherwise requires, any reference to the Option Grant in the remainder of this Agreement and elsewhere shall be read and construed as reference to the Option Grant as amended and novated by this Agreement) such that:
a. Any reference in the Option Grant and this Agreement to “Stock Options” shall, as of the Effective Time, cease to represent an option to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Company Common Stock”) and shall be converted, as of the Effective Time, into an option to acquire that number of shares of Gener8’s common stock (“Parent Common Stock”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Option Grant immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the per share exercise price specified in the Option Grant immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Exchange Ratio; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the Option Grant will be determined in a manner consistent with the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The terms “Exchange Ratio” and “Code” as used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement.
b. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Option Grant or as a result of the consummation of the Merger and any changes in the Grantee’s position on the board of directors in connection therewith, the Stock Options, subject to the terms and conditions of the Option Grant as amended and novated in this Agreement, shall immediately vest and shall be exercisable by the Grantee at any time on or prior to July 8, 2017.
2. Novation
With immediate effect from the Effective Time, Gener8 shall be a party to the Option Grant (as amended and novated by this Agreement) and shall be entitled to all rights, must perform all obligations and be bound by the terms thereof.
3. Accredited Investor
The Grantee (a) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits, risks and suitability of the Option Grant and this Agreement, (b) has a full understanding of all of the terms, conditions and risks and willingly assumes those terms, conditions and risks in relation to the Option Grant and this Agreement, and (c) qualifies as an “accredited investor” under Rule 501(a)(5) or (6) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
4. Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles and provisions thereof relating to conflict or choice of laws.
5. Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which taken together shall constitute a single contract.
