incorporated as Capital Product Partners L.P. under the laws of the Marshall
Islands on January&#160;16, 2007, by Capital Maritime &amp; Trading Corp.
(&#8220;Capital Maritime&#8221;), an international shipping company with a long history of
operating and investing in the shipping market. Our fleet currently consists of
18 double-hull, high specification tankers including the largest Ice Class 1A MR
product tanker fleet in the world based on number of vessels and carrying
capacity. We maintain our principal executive headquarters at 3 Iassonos Street,
Piraeus, 18537 Greece and our telephone number is +30 210 4584 950.</font></div>

initial public offering (the &#8220;IPO&#8221;) on the Nasdaq Global Market of 13,512,500
common units at a price of $21.50 per unit. At the time of the IPO, Capital
Maritime transferred all of the shares of eight wholly owned subsidiaries, each
of which owned a newly built, double-hull medium range (&#8220;MR&#8221;) product tanker, to
us and we entered into a fixed fee agreement with Capital Ship Management Corp.,
a subsidiary of Capital Maritime (&#8220;Capital Ship Management&#8221;), to provide
management and technical services in connection with these and future vessels.
Since the IPO we have taken delivery of seven newbuildings and have also
acquired three additional vessels from Capital Maritime, greatly increasing the
size of our fleet in terms of both number of vessels and carrying capacity. We
intend to continue to make strategic acquisitions and to take advantage of our
relationship with Capital Maritime in a prudent manner that is accretive to our
unitholders and to long-term distribution growth. Capital Maritime has granted
us a right of first offer for any MR tankers in its fleet under charter for two
or more years, giving us the opportunity to purchase up to an additional six
vessels in the future. As of August 20, 2008, Capital Maritime owned a 46.6%
interest in us, including a 2% interest through its ownership of our general
partner, Capital GP L.L.C.</font></div>

crude oil, refined oil products, such as gasoline, diesel, fuel oil and jet
fuel, as well as edible oils and certain chemicals, such as ethanol, and comply
not only with the strict regulatory standards that are currently in place but
also with regulatory standards that are currently expected to be implemented. We
charter our vessels under medium- to long-term time and bareboat charters (two
to 10 years, with an average remaining term of approximately 4.7 years as of
August 20, 2008) to large charterers, such as BP Shipping Limited, Morgan
Stanley Capital Group&#160;Inc., Trafigura Beheer B.V., Shell International
Trading &amp; Shipping Company Ltd. and subsidiaries of Overseas Shipholding
Group&#160;Inc. All our charters provide for the receipt of a fixed base rate
for the life of the charter, and in the case of 10 of our 12 time charters, also
provide for profit sharing arrangements in excess of the base
rate.&#160;&#160;Please read &#8220;Profit Sharing Arrangements&#8221; contained herein for
a detailed description of how profit sharing is calculated.</font></div>

ended. Moreover, as these vessels were operated as part of Capital Maritime&#8217;s
fleet during the reporting period, the vessels were operated in a different
manner than they are currently operated, and thus their historical results may
not be indicative of their future results. Because of our limited operating
history, we lack extended historical financial and operational data, making it
more difficult for an investor to evaluate our business, forecast our future
revenues and other operating results, and assess the merits and risks of an
investment in our common units or subordinated units. This lack of information
will increase the risk of your investment. Moreover, you should consider and
evaluate our prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties frequently
encountered by companies with a limited operating history. These risks and
difficulties include challenges in accurate financial planning as a result of
limited historical data and the uncertainties resulting from having had a
relatively limited time period in which to implement and evaluate our business
strategies as compared to older companies with longer operating histories. Our
failure to address these risks and difficulties successfully could materially
harm our business and operating results.</font></div>

cash available for distributions to unitholders. Even if we are successful in
obtaining necessary funds, the terms of such financings could limit our ability
to pay cash distributions to unitholders. Incurring additional debt may
significantly increase our interest expense and financial leverage, and issuing

unable to re-deploy the related vessel on terms as favorable to us due to the
long-term nature of most charters. If we are unable to re-deploy a vessel for
which the charter has been terminated, we will not receive any revenues from
that vessel, but we may be required to pay expenses necessary to maintain the
vessel in proper operating condition. Until such time as the vessel is
re-chartered, we may have to operate it in the spot market at charter rates
which may not be as favorable to us as our current charter rates. In addition,
if a customer exercises its right to purchase a vessel, we would not receive any
further revenue from the vessel and may be unable to obtain a substitute vessel
and charter. This may cause us to receive decreased revenue and cash flows from
having fewer vessels operating in our fleet. Any replacement newbuilding would
not generate revenues during its construction, and we may be unable to charter
any replacement vessel on terms as favorable to us as those of the terminated
charter. Any compensation under our charters for a purchase of the vessels may
not adequately compensate us for the loss of the vessel and related time
charter.</font></div>

refined product and chemical tankers have been, and will remain, heavily
regulated. The so called &#8220;oil majors&#8221; companies, together with a number of
commodities traders, represent a significant percentage of the production,
trading and shipping logistics (terminals) of crude oil and refined products
worldwide. Concerns for the environment have led the oil majors to develop and
implement a strict ongoing due diligence process when selecting their commercial
partners. This vetting process has evolved into a sophisticated and
comprehensive risk assessment of both the vessel operator and the vessel,
including physical ship inspections, completion of vessel inspection
questionnaires performed by accredited inspectors and the production of
comprehensive risk assessment reports. In the case of term charter

periods, such as those that occur during an unscheduled drydocking due to damage
to the vessel from accidents. Accordingly, any extended vessel off-hire, due to
an accident or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our business
and our ability to pay distributions to our unitholders. Any claims covered by
insurance would be subject to deductibles, and since it is possible that a large
number of claims may be brought, the aggregate amount of these deductibles could
be material. Certain of our insurance coverage is maintained through mutual
protection and indemnity associations, and as a member of such associations we
may be required to make additional payments over and above budgeted premiums if
member claims exceed association reserves.</font></div>

for, and in the future may result in the lack of availability of, insurance
against risks of environmental damage or pollution. A catastrophic oil spill or
marine disaster could exceed our insurance coverage, which could harm our
business, financial condition and operating results. In addition, certain of our
vessels are under bareboat charters with BP Shipping Limited and subsidiaries of
Overseas Shipholding Group Inc. Under the terms of these charters, the charterer
provides for the insurance of the vessel and as a result these vessels may not
be adequately insured and/or in some cases may be self-insured. Any uninsured or
underinsured loss could harm our business and financial condition. In addition,
our insurance may be voidable by the insurers as a result of certain of our
actions, such as our ships failing to maintain certification with applicable
maritime self-regulatory organizations.</font></div>

environmental laws. The United States Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90) affects
all vessel owners shipping oil or petroleum products to, from or within the
United States. OPA 90 allows for potentially unlimited liability without regard
to fault of owners, operators and bareboat charterers of vessels for oil
pollution in U.S. waters. Similarly, the International Convention on Civil
Liability for Oil Pollution Damage, 1969, as amended, which has been adopted by
most countries outside of the U.S., imposes liability for oil pollution in
international waters. OPA 90 expressly permits individual states to impose their
own liability regimes with regard to hazardous materials and oil pollution
incidents occurring within their boundaries. Coastal states in the U.S. have
enacted pollution prevention liability and response laws, many providing for
unlimited liability.</font></div>

relevant U.S. Coast Guard regulations, IMO regulations, such as Annex IV and
Annex VI to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from
Ships (MARPOL), EU directives and other existing laws and regulations and those
that may be adopted, shipowners may incur significant additional costs in
meeting new maintenance and inspection requirements, in developing contingency
arrangements for potential spills and in obtaining insurance coverage.
Government regulation of vessels, particularly in the areas of safety and
environmental requirements, can be expected to become stricter in the future and
require us to incur significant capital expenditure on our vessels to keep them
in compliance, or even to scrap or sell certain vessels altogether.</font></div>

the regulations of MARPOL regarding the prevention of air pollution from ships
were agreed by the IMO Sub-Committee on Bulk Liquids and Gases (BLG) when it met
for its 12th session. Following lengthy and technically challenging discussions
in the Air Pollution Working Group, the Sub-Committee agreed a draft revised
Annex VI to the MARPOL Convention and amendments to the NOx Technical Code.
These proposed amendments were approved by the Marine Environment Protection
Committee (MEPC) at its 57th session from March 31 to April 4, 2008. The
amendments will be considered for formal adoption at MEPC 58 in October 2008. If
approved, the amendments would then enter into force, under the tacit acceptance
procedure, 16 months later, in March 2010, or on a date to be decided by the
MEPC. Given the significant environmental, human health, and economic
consequences of a decision on how best to further reduce emissions of sulphur
oxide (SOx), nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) from ships, the
Sub-Committee decided that relevant policy decisions should be taken at the
Committee level and that its principal duty was to initiate such
discussions.</font></div>

existing legislation, applicable to international and national maritime trade is
expected over the coming years in areas such as ship recycling, sewage systems,
emission control (including emissions of greenhouse gases), ballast treatment
and handling, etc. Currently, legislation and regulations that would require
more stringent controls of air emissions from ocean-going vessels are pending at
the federal and state level in the U.S. Such legislation or regulations may
require additional capital expenditures or operating expenses (such as increased
costs for low-sulfur fuel) in order for us to maintain our vessels&#8217; compliance
with international and/or national regulations.</font></div>

considering regulating the management of ballast water to prevent the
introduction of non-indigenous species considered to be invasive. For example,
the IMO has adopted the International Convention for the Control and Management
of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments (the BWM Convention), which calls for a
phased introduction of mandatory ballast water exchange requirements, to be
replaced in time with mandatory concentration limits.&#160;&#160;The BWM
Convention will enter into force 12 months after it has been adopted by 30
states, the combined merchant fleets of which represent not less than 35% of the
gross tonnage of the world's merchant shipping tonnage. To date, 13 states,
representing about 3.62% of the world&#8217;s merchant shipping tonnage, have ratified
the BWM Convention. In the United States, ballast water management legislation
has been enacted in several states, and federal legislation is currently pending
in the U.S. Congress.&#160;&#160;The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has
also proposed a rule which would require commercial vessels to obtain a Clean
Water Act permit regulating the discharge of ballast water and other discharges
to U.S. waters.&#160;&#160;Significant expenditures for the installation of
additional equipment or new systems on board our vessels may be required in
order to comply with new regulations regarding ballast water management which

owned by companies unrelated to us), we believe that regulation of the shipping
industry will continue to become more stringent and more expensive for us and
our competitors. In recent years, the IMO and EU have both accelerated their
existing non-double-hull phase-out schedules in response to highly publicized
oil spills and other shipping incidents involving companies unrelated to us.
Future incidents may result in the adoption of even stricter laws and
regulations, which could limit our operations or our ability to do business and
which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial

governance and related requirements of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the SEC and
the Nasdaq Global Market, on which our common units are listed. Section 404 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we evaluate and determine the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting. As a newly public
non&#8722;accelerated filer, we are subject to this requirement at the end of our
fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. If we have a material weakness in our
internal control over financial reporting, we may not detect errors on a timely
basis and our financial statements may be materially misstated. We will have to
dedicate a significant amount of time and resources to ensure compliance with
the regulatory requirements of Section 404. We will continue to work with our
legal, accounting and financial advisors to identify any areas in which changes
should be made to our financial and management control systems to manage our
growth and our obligations as a public company. However, these and other
measures we may take may not be sufficient to allow us to satisfy our
obligations as a public company on a timely and reliable basis. We have incurred
and will continue to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses in
complying with these and other applicable regulations. We anticipate that our
incremental general and administrative expenses as a publicly traded limited
partnership taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes will
include costs associated with annual reports to unitholders, tax returns,

our partnership agreement and by the Marshall Islands Act. The provisions of the
Marshall Islands Act resemble provisions of the limited partnership laws of a
number of states in the United States, most notably Delaware. The Marshall
Islands Act also provides that it is to be applied and construed to make it
uniform with the Delaware Revised Uniform Partnership Act and, so long as it
does not conflict with the Marshall Islands Act or decisions of the Marshall
Islands courts, interpreted according to the non-statutory law (or case law) of
the State of Delaware. There have been, however, few, if any, court cases in the
Marshall Islands interpreting the Marshall Islands Act, in contrast to Delaware,
which has a fairly well-developed body of case law interpreting its limited
partnership statute. Accordingly, we cannot predict whether Marshall Islands
courts would reach the same conclusions as the courts in Delaware. For example,
the rights of our unitholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our general
partner under Marshall Islands law are not as clearly established as under
judicial precedent in existence in Delaware. As a result, unitholders may have
more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions by our
general partner and its officers and directors than would unitholders of a
limited partnership formed in the United States.</font></div>

method of operation, and on opinion of counsel, we do not believe that we were a

Cravath, Swaine &amp; Moore LLP dated August 29, 2008 that (1) the income we
receive from time chartering activities and assets engaged in generating such
income should not be treated as passive income or assets, respectively, and (2)
so long as our income from time charters exceeds 25% of our gross income for
each taxable year after our initial taxable year and assets engaged in time
charters exceed 50% of the average value of our assets for each taxable year
after our initial taxable year, we should not be a PFIC. This opinion is based
on representations and projections provided by us regarding our assets, income
and charters to our counsel, and its validity is conditioned on the accuracy of
such representations and projections. At the time of this prospectus, 12 out of
the 18 vessels in our fleet are engaged in time chartering activities and we
intend to treat our income from those activities as non-passive income, and the
vessels engaged in those activities as non-passive assets, for PFIC
purposes.&#160;&#160;However, no assurance can be given that the Internal
Revenue Service (the &#8220;IRS&#8221;) will accept this position. The remainder of our
fleet is engaged in activities that may be characterized as passive for PFIC
purposes and the income from that portion of our fleet may be treated as passive
income for PFIC purposes. See &#8220;Material U.S. Federal Income Tax

carrying on business in any country, including Greece, will largely be a
question of fact determined through an analysis of contractual arrangements,
including the management agreement and the administrative services agreement we
will enter into with Capital Ship Management, and the way we conduct business or
operations, all of which may change over time. The laws of Greece or any other
foreign country may also change, which could cause the country&#8217;s taxing
authorities to determine that we are carrying on business in such country and
are subject to its taxation laws. Any foreign taxes imposed on us or any
subsidiaries will reduce our cash available for distribution.</font></div>

dollar, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from
those summarized below. If a partnership or other entity classified as a

treatment of a partner thereof will generally depend upon the status of the

opinion of Cravath, Swaine &amp; Moore LLP dated August 29, 2008 that our common

common units represent more than 50% of our value and intend to take that
position.&#160;&#160;These conclusions, however, are based upon legal
authorities which do not expressly contemplate an organization structure such as
ours.&#160;&#160;In particular, although we have elected to be treated as a
corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, for corporate law purposes we
are organized as a limited partnership under Marshall Islands law and our
general partner will be responsible for managing our business and affairs and

the trading volume requirements described previously because the pertinent

the United States where, as will be the case for our common units, the units are
regularly quoted by dealers who regularly and actively make offers, purchases

in us regardless of how many common units are held by that 5.0%
unitholder.&#160;&#160;Thus, although the matter is not free from doubt, we

Individual Holder at preferential capital gain tax rates (through 2010) provided
that: (i) our units are readily tradable on an established securities market in
the United States (such as the Nasdaq Global Market on which our units are
traded); (ii) we are not a PFIC for the taxable year during which the dividend
is paid or the immediately preceding taxable year (which we do not believe we
are, have been or will be, as discussed below); (iii) the U.S. Individual Holder
has owned the units for more than 60 days in the 121-day period beginning 60
days before the date on which the units become ex-dividend; and (iv) the U.S.
Individual Holder is not under an obligation to make related payments with

assurance that any dividends paid on our units will be eligible for these
preferential rates in the hands of a U.S. Individual Holder, and any dividends
paid on our units that are not eligible for these preferential rates will be

dividend income, all dividends received by a taxpayer in tax years beginning
January 1, 2011 or later will be taxed at rates applicable to ordinary

legislation, the preferential rate of federal income tax currently imposed on

form a non-U.S. corporation, unless the non-U.S. corporation either is eligible

created or organized under the laws of a foreign country which has a
comprehensive income tax system. Because the Marshall Islands has not entered
into a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States and imposes only
limited taxes on corporations organized under its laws, it is unlikely that we
could satisfy either of these requirements. Consequently, if this legislation
were enacted the preferential tax rates imposed on qualified dividend income may
no longer be applicable to dividends received from us. Any dividends paid on our
shares that are not eligible for the preferential rate will be taxed as ordinary
income to a U.S. Individual Holder. As of the date hereof, it is not possible to
predict with any certainty whether this previously proposed legislation will be

in generating such income should not be treated as passive income or assets,

our gross income for each taxable year after our initial taxable year and assets
engaged in time charters exceed 50% of the average value of our assets for each

directly on point, and we are not obtaining a ruling from the IRS on this issue,
our counsel&#8217;s opinion is based principally on the position that, for purposes of
determining whether we are a PFIC, the gross income we derive or are deemed to
derive from the time chartering activities of our wholly owned subsidiaries
should constitute services income, rather than rental income. Correspondingly,
such income should not constitute passive income, and the assets that we or our
wholly owned subsidiaries own and operate in connection with the production of
such income, in particular, the vessels we or our subsidiaries own that are
subject to time charters, should not constitute passive assets for purposes of
determining whether we were a PFIC.&#160;&#160;As of the date of this prospectus
12 of our 18 vessels are engaged in time chartering activities and we intend to
treat our income from those activities as non-passive income, and the vessels
engaged in those activities as nonpassive assets. The remainder of our fleet
will be engaged in activities that may be characterized as passive for PFIC
purposes and the income from that portion of our fleet may be treated as passive
income for PFIC purposes. Our counsel believes that there is substantial legal
authority supporting our position consisting of case law and IRS pronouncements
concerning the characterization of income derived from time charters as services
income for other tax purposes. However, in the absence of any legal authority
specifically relating to the statutory provisions governing PFICs, the IRS or a
court could disagree with this position. In addition, although we intend to
conduct our affairs in a manner to avoid being classified as a PFIC with respect
to any taxable year, we cannot assure you that the nature of our operations will
not change in the future.</font></div>

Holder must report each year for U.S. federal income tax purposes his pro rata
share of our ordinary earnings and our net capital gain, if any, for our taxable
year that ends with or within the taxable year of the Electing Holder,
regardless of whether or not distributions were received from us by the Electing
Holder. The Electing Holder&#8217;s adjusted tax basis in the units will be increased
to reflect taxed but undistributed earnings and profits. Distributions of
earnings and profits that had been previously taxed will result in a
corresponding reduction in the adjusted tax basis in the units and will not be
taxed again once distributed. An Electing Holder would generally recognize
capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our units. A
U.S. Holder would make a QEF election with respect to any year that we are a
PFIC by filing one copy of IRS Form 8621 with his U.S. federal income tax return
and a second copy in accordance with the instructions to such form. If we were
to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, we would provide each U.S. Holder
with all necessary information in order to make the QEF election described
above.</font></div>

election with respect to our units, provided the U.S. Holder completes and files
IRS Form 8621 in accordance with the relevant instructions and related Treasury
Regulations. If that election is made, the U.S. Holder generally would include
as ordinary income in each taxable year the excess, if any, of the fair market
value of the units at the end of the taxable year over such holder&#8217;s adjusted
tax basis in the units. The U.S. Holder would also be permitted an ordinary loss
in respect of the excess, if any, of the U.S. Holder&#8217;s adjusted tax basis in the
units over the fair market value thereof at the end of the taxable year, but
only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result

adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amount. Gain realized on the sale,
exchange or other disposition of our units would be treated as ordinary income,
and any loss realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of the units
would be treated as ordinary loss to the extent that such loss does not exceed
the net mark-to-market gains previously included by the U.S.
Holder.</font></div>

Water Act also imposes substantial liability for the costs of removal,
remediation and damages and complements the remedies available under the more
recent OPA 90 and CERCLA, discussed in our Annual Report. The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (the &#8216;EPA&#8217;) had exempted the discharge of ballast water and
other substances incidental to the normal operation of vessels in U.S. ports
from Clean Water Act permitting requirements. However, on March 30, 2005, a U.S.
District Court ruled that the EPA exceeded its authority in creating an
exemption for ballast water. On September 18, 2006, the court issued an order
invalidating the exemption in the EPA&#8217;s regulations for all discharges
incidental to the normal operation of a vessel as of September 30, 2008, and
directing the EPA to develop a system for regulating all discharges from vessels
by that date. The District Court's decision was affirmed by the Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals on July 23, 2008.</font></div>

rules, commercial vessels would be required to obtain a Clean Water Act permit
regulating such discharges.&#160;&#160;The proposed permit would incorporate
current U.S. Coast Guard requirements for ballast water management as well as
supplemental ballast water requirements, and would provide technology-based and
water-quality based limits for other discharges, such as deck runoff, bilge
water and gray water.&#160;&#160;Administrative provisions, such as monitoring,

included.&#160;&#160;Until the EPA promulgates final rules, we can not predict

these court decisions,&#160;&#160;we ultimately will be subject to Clean Water
Act permit requirements that could include ballast water treatment obligations
that could increase the cost of operating in the United States. For example,
this could require the installation of equipment on our vessels to treat ballast
water before it is discharged or the implementation of other port facility
disposal arrangements or procedures at potentially substantial cost and/or
otherwise restrict our vessels from entering U.S. waters.</font></div>

</font>Further to an agreement reached on July 28, 2008 which will take effect
retroactively as of June 1, 2008, the profit sharing arrangements for our
vessels time chartered with Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. are calculated
according to the two-step process set out below. Initially, a weighted average
of two indices published daily by the Baltic Exchange based on specific routes
and cargo sizes representative of the vessel&#8217;s trading is calculated and settled
quarterly. Specifically, the calculation is based on the performance of the
transatlantic route (TC2) and the Caribbean-US route (TC3) at certain
predetermined weights. If the weighted average time charter equivalent (&#8220;TCE&#8221;)
is less than or equal to the basic hire rate, then we receive the basic hire
rate only. If the weighted average TCE exceeds the basic hire rate, then we
receive the basic hire rate plus 50% of the excess. In addition, we have the
right to access the charterer's annual results of operations for each vessel,
and, if these show that the vessel has earned more than the calculation above,
we receive 50% of the vessel&#8217;s actual profits less any profits already
received.&#160;&#160;If the annual results of operations for each vessel do not
exceed the estimated profit calculation based on the two routes then no
additional payments are made. With the exception of the profit share arrangement
for the M/T Assos, where 1.25% commission is deducted from the gross profit
share amount, no commissions are payable on revenues derived from our profit
shares. Annual results of operations from the charterer are to be presented by
December 31 of each year for the period commencing December 1 of the previous
year to November 30 of the year in question, with the exception of the fiscal
year from December 1, 2007 to November 30, 2008 for which annual results of
operations will be settled bi-annually.</font></div>

exception of the M/T Amore Mio II, our profit sharing arrangements for our
vessels time chartered with BP Shipping Limited are based on the calculation of
the TCE according to the &#8220;last to next&#8221; principle. Actual voyage revenues earned
and received, actual expenses incurred and actual time taken to perform the
voyage are used for the purpose of the calculation. The charterer is obliged to
provide us with a copy of each fixture note and all reasonable documentation
with respect to items of cost and earnings referring to each voyage within every
calculation period, as well as with a statement listing actual voyage results
for voyages completed and estimated results for any voyage not completed at the
time of settlement. When actual revenue and/or expenses have not been settled,
BP&#160;Shipping Limited&#8217;s estimates apply but remain subject to adjustment upon
closing of actual accounts. If the average daily TCE is less than or equal to
the basic gross hire rate, then we receive the basic net hire rate only. If the
average daily TCE exceeds the basic gross hire rate, then we receive the basic
net hire rate plus 50% of the excess over the gross hire rate. In addition to
the 1.25% commission we pay on the gross charter rate for each vessel, the
relevant ship broker is also entitled to an additional 1.25% commission on the
amount of profit share received from the M/T Agisilaos, the M/T Arionas, the M/T
Axios and the M/T Amore Mio II.<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">&#160;</font>In the case of the M/T
Amore Mio II, the calculation of the profit share is based on the weighted
monthly average of two indices published daily by the Baltic Exchange based on
specific routes and cargo sizes representative of the vessel&#8217;s trading. The
profit share with BP Shipping Limited is calculated and settled quarterly,
except for the profit share for the M/T Amore Mio II, which is calculated and
settled monthly.</font></div>

over-allotment and stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover syndicate
short positions created in connection with the offering. Stabilizing
transactions consist of certain bids or purchases for the purpose of preventing

positions involve the sale by the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, of
a greater number of securities than they are required to purchase from us in the
offering. The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid, whereby selling
concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for the
securities sold for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if such
securities are repurchased by the syndicate in stabilizing or covering
transactions. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the
market price of the securities, which may be higher than the price that might
otherwise prevail in the open market, and if commenced, may be discontinued at
any time. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq Global Market, in the
over-the-counter market or otherwise. These activities will be described in more

liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.</font></div>
