(B) | The Manager and V Ships Greece Ltd. of Par-La-Ville Place 14, Par-La Ville Road, Xxxxxxxx XX 08, Bermuda (V Ships) have entered into a co-operation agreement dated 7 January 2013 as amended and/or supplemented from time to time (the Co-operation Agreement), whereby they have agreed the terms upon which V Ships will (inter alia) provide shipmanagement services to certain of the Vessels (as such term is defined in the Framework Agreement). |
(C) | Pursuant to clause 2.3 of the Framework Agreement, the parties thereto have agreed that the Manager has the right to appoint V Ships as a submanager without first obtaining the Parent’s consent. |

Settlement Date means the first day on which banks are open for business in Greece falling immediately after the date that the Manager receives from V Ships a Surplus Profit.
Surplus Profit means the amount paid by V Ships to the Manager under the Co-operation Agreement as the profits generated by the Cell (as such term is defined in the Co-operation Agreement) provided however that if the amount to be paid by the Manager to V Ships under clause 26(a) of the Co-operation Agreement has not been taken into account in calculating such profit, then such amount payable by V Ships under clause 26(a) of the Co-operation Agreement shall be deducted from the amount to be paid by V Ships as profits generated by the Cell for the purposes of this definition and provided also that any payment by V Ships for breach of its obligation to pay certain part of the profits to the Manager shall constitute Surplus Profit.

(a) | refund such part of any Management Fees already received by such Settlement Date; and/or |
(b) | reduce any Management Fees to be received after such Settlement Date, by such amount, |
as, in either case, is equal to the Surplus Profit the Manager has received by such Settlement Date, provided always that:
(i) | the Manager shall, to the extent possible, seek first under this clause 3 to make a refund of Management Fees before seeking to apply a reduction against future Management Fees; and |
(ii) | the Manager shall not be asked under this clause to refund or reduce more than the aggregate of the Management Fees, it has received since the date of this Agreement and/or will in the future receive in accordance with the terms of the Framework Agreement. |
4 | Save as amended and/or supplemented by this Agreement, all other terms and conditions contained in the Framework Agreement, any Shipmanagement Agreements and any Supervision Agreements shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be amended. |
