THE DISTRIBUTION

Section 3.1

Share Dividend by Xxxxxx. On the Distribution Date, Castor will cause the Distribution Agent to distribute the Distribution Shares, being 100% of the outstanding SpinCo Common Shares then owned by Castor, to holders of Castor Common Shares on the Record Date, and to credit the appropriate number of such SpinCo Common Shares to book-entry accounts for each such holder of Castor Common Shares. For shareholders of Castor who own Castor Common Shares through a broker or other nominee, the SpinCo Common Shares will be credited to their respective accounts by such broker or nominee. Each holder of Castor Common Shares on the Record Date will be entitled to receive in the Distribution one SpinCo Common Share for every ten Castor Common Shares held by such shareholder. No action by any such shareholder shall be necessary for such shareholder to receive the applicable number of SpinCo Common Shares (and, if applicable, cash in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof) that such shareholder is entitled to in the Distribution.

Section 3.2

Fractional Shares. Castor shareholders holding a number of Castor Common Shares, on the Record Date, which would entitle such shareholders to receive less than one whole SpinCo Common Share in the Distribution, will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. Fractional SpinCo Common Shares will not be distributed in the Distribution nor credited to book-entry accounts. The Distribution Agent shall, as soon as practicable after the Distribution Date (a) determine the number of whole SpinCo Common Shares and fractional SpinCo Common Shares allocable to each holder of record of Castor Common Shares as of the close of business on the Record Date (or in accordance with the applicable procedures of The Depository Trust Company, to members thereof), (b) aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares and sell the whole shares obtained thereby in open market transactions, in each case, at then prevailing trading prices on behalf of holders who would otherwise be entitled to fractional share interests, and (c) distribute to each such holder, or for the benefit of each beneficial owner, such holder or owner’s ratable share of the net proceeds of such sale, net of brokerage fees incurred in such sales and after making appropriate deductions for any amount required to be withheld for United States federal income Tax and other applicable Tax purposes. None of Castor, SpinCo or the Distribution Agent will guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional SpinCo Common Shares. None of Castor or SpinCo will pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional shares. The Distribution Agent acting on behalf of SpinCo will have the sole discretion to select the broker-dealers through which to sell the aggregated fractional shares and to determine when, how and at what price to sell such shares. Neither the Distribution Agent nor the broker-dealers through which the aggregated fractional shares are sold will be Affiliates of Castor or SpinCo.

Section 3.3

Sole Discretion of Castor. The independent and disinterested members of the Castor Board may at any time and from time to time until the completion of the Distribution, upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, decide to abandon any or all of the Distribution or modify or change the terms of the Distribution, including by accelerating or delaying the timing of the consummation of all or part of the Distribution.

Section 3.4

Annex A

Registration Rights

PARTIES:	Toro Corp., a Xxxxxxxx Islands corporation (the “Company”) and Castor Maritime Inc., a Xxxxxxxx Islands corporation (“Castor”)
REGISTRABLE SECURITIES:	“Registrable Securities” means (i) common shares of the Company (or any other shares of a class of stock of the Company or other securities of the Company or a successor entity of the Company resulting from a merger, consolidation, exchange of shares or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company) (the “Common Shares”), issued to Castor upon conversion of the Company’s Series A Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Shares of the Company (or assumed by a successor of the Company) (the “Series A Shares”) and (ii) any Common Shares received by Castor in respect thereof in connection with any split or subdivision, dividend, distribution or similar transaction. Any such Common Shares shall cease to be Registrable Securities upon the earliest to occur of: (i) such Common Shares being sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), (ii) such Common Shares being sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), (iii) such Common Shares becoming eligible for sale by pursuant to Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and (iv) such Common Shares ceasing to be outstanding.
REGISTRATION:	Subject to Castor timely providing the Company with all information and documents reasonably requested by the Company in connection with such filings, the Company will file, as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event no later than 30 calendar days after a request by Castor, one or more registration statements to register Registrable Securities then held by Xxxxxx (including a plan and method of distribution as reasonably determined by the Company and Castor). Each such registration statement may also register sales of securities for the account of the Company or other holders. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to have each such registration statement declared effective as soon as possible after such filing. Subject to any Blackout Period, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to keep such registration statement continuously effective until the end of the Term.

A-1

BLACKOUT PERIODS:	In the event that the Company determines in good faith that the registration or sale of Registrable Securities would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect or materially interfere with any material financing of the Company or any material transaction under consideration by the Company or would require disclosure of information that has not been, and is not otherwise required to be, disclosed to the public, the Company shall be entitled to postpone the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement, or suspend the availability of a registration statement and the prospectus contained therein for sales thereunder, for a period of up to 90 days. A Blackout Period may not occur more than 3 times in any period of 12 consecutive months or last, together with any other Blackout Period, in the aggregate, more than 90 days in any period of 12 consecutive months.
EXPENSES:	All fees and expenses incident to the Company’s performance of its obligations hereunder (including all registration and filing fees) shall be borne solely by the Company. Castor shall pay all transfer taxes, if any, and the fees and expenses of its counsel, if any, relating to a sale of Registrable Securities.
TERM:	The rights and obligations hereunder shall terminate on (i) the date occurring after the seventh anniversary of the Original Issue Date of the Series A Shares on which Castor owns no Registrable Securities or (ii) if earlier, the date on which Castor owns no Series A Shares and no Registrable Securities.
GOVERNING LAW:	New York
