(b) Offer. The Acquiring Party will offer to the Company the opportunity for the Company or if the Company so elects, one of its Affiliates (as applicable, the “Offeree”), to purchase such Containership Assets (the “Offered Assets”), not later than 30 days after consummation of the acquisition, for their fair market value (plus any Break-up Costs) on commercially reasonable terms in accordance with this Section 2.3 (the “Offer”). The Offer shall set forth the Acquiring Party’s proposed terms relating to

7

the purchase of the Offered Assets by the Offeree. The Acquiring Party will deliver to the Offeree all information prepared by or on behalf of or in the possession of such Acquiring Party relating to the Offered Assets and reasonably requested by the Offeree.

(c) Election. As soon as practicable, but in any event, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such offer, the Offeree shall notify the Acquiring Party in writing that either: (1) the Offeree has elected not to purchase such Offered Assets, in which event the Acquiring Party shall, subject to the other terms of this Agreement, be free to continue to own and operate such Offered Assets, subject to the restrictions in Section 2.4 below; or (2) the Offeree has elected to purchase, or indicated interest in purchasing, such Offered Assets, in which event the procedures in Section 2.3(d) shall be followed.

(d) Purchase and Sale. After the receipt of the Offer by the Offeree, the Acquiring Party and the Offeree shall negotiate in good faith the fair market value (and any Break-up Costs) of the Offered Assets that are subject to the Offer and the other terms of the Offer on which the Offered Assets will be sold to the Offeree. If the Acquiring Party and the Offeree agree on the fair market value (and any Break-up Costs) of the Offered Assets that are subject to the Offer and the other terms of the Offer during the 30-day period (the “Offer Period”) after receipt by the Acquiring Party of the Offeree’s election to purchase, or indication of interest in purchasing, the Offered Assets, the Offeree shall purchase the Offered Assets on such terms as soon as commercially practicable after such agreement has been reached.

If the Acquiring Party and the Offeree are unable to agree on the fair market value (and any Break-up Costs) of the Offered Assets that are subject to the Offer or the other terms of the Offer during the Offer Period, the Acquiring Party and the Offeree will engage a mutually acceptable independent ship broker and/or a mutually acceptable independent investment banking firm prior to the end of the Offer Period to determine the fair market value (and any Break-up Costs) of the Offered Assets and/or the other terms on which the Acquiring Party and the Offeree are unable to agree. If the Acquiring Party and the Offeree are unable to agree on an independent ship broker and/or a mutually acceptable independent investment banking firm prior to the end of the Offer Period, then the parties shall appoint an arbitrator and such arbitrator shall make the selection.

In determining the fair market value (and any Break-up Costs) associated with the Offered Assets and other terms on which the Offered Assets are to be sold, the ship broker or investment banking firm, as applicable, will have access to all information prepared by or on behalf of or in possession of the Acquiring Party relating to the original acquisition by the Acquiring Party, the proposed sale and purchase values and terms for the Offer submitted by the Acquiring Party and the Offeree, respectively. Such ship broker and/or investment banking firm will determine the fair market value (and any Break-Up Costs) of the Offered Assets and/or the other terms on which the Acquiring Party and the Offeree are unable to agree within thirty (30) days of its engagement and furnish the Acquiring Party and the Offeree its determination. The fees and expenses of the ship broker or investment banking firm, as applicable, will be divided equally between the Acquiring Party and the Offeree. Upon receipt of such determination, the Offeree will have the option, but not the obligation, to:

(i) purchase the Offered Assets for the fair market value (and Break-up Costs) on the other terms determined by the ship broker and/or investment banking firm, as soon as commercially practicable after determinations have been made; or

8

(ii) elect not to purchase such Offered Assets, in which event the Acquiring Party shall, subject to the other terms of this Agreement, be free to continue to own and operate such Offered Assets, subject to the restrictions in Section 2.4 below.
