This Restricted Share Award Agreement (this “Award Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions of an award (the “Award”) of 30,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value (“Shares”), that are subject to certain restrictions on transfer and risks of forfeiture and other terms and conditions specified herein (“Restricted Shares”) and that are granted to the Grantee under the Aegean Marine Petroleum Network Inc. Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
 
THIS AWARD IS SUBJECT TO ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLAN AND THIS AWARD AGREEMENT.  BY SIGNING YOUR NAME BELOW, YOU WILL HAVE CONFIRMED YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AWARD AGREEMENT.
 
SECTION 1.  Definitions.  Capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement that are not defined in this Award Agreement have the meanings as used or defined in the Plan.
 
SECTION 2.  The Plan.  This Award is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan.  The grant and terms of this Award are subject to the provisions of the Plan and to interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Administrator in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (a) rights and obligations with respect to withholding taxes, (b) the registration, qualification or listing of the Company’s shares, (c) capital or other changes of the Company and (d) other requirements of applicable law.  The Administrator shall have the authority to interpret and construe this Award pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder.
 
SECTION 3.  Vesting and Delivery.  (a)  Vesting.  The Restricted Shares shall become vested, and the restrictions set forth in this Award Agreement shall lapse, with respect to all of the Shares covered by this Award on December 19, 2012, conditioned upon the Grantee’s continued service as an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary (an “Employee”) or as a director of the Company from the date of this Award Agreement through the applicable vesting date.
 
(b)  Delivery of Shares.  On or following the date of this Award Agreement, conditioned upon the Grantee’s delivery of an executed copy of this Award Agreement to the Company in accordance with Section 13 below, certificates issued in respect of Restricted Shares shall be registered in the Grantee’s name and deposited by the Grantee, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company or such other custodian as may be designated by the Administrator or the Company, and shall be held by the Company or other custodian, as applicable, until such time, if any, as the Grantee’s rights with respect to such Restricted Shares become vested.  Upon the vesting of the Grantee’s rights with respect to such Restricted Shares, the Company or other custodian, as applicable, will deliver such certificates to the Grantee or the Grantee’s legal representative.
 
 
 
 

 
 
SECTION 4.  Forfeiture of Restricted Shares.  If the Grantee’s rights with respect to any Restricted Shares or Retained Distributions (as defined below) awarded to the Grantee pursuant to this Award Agreement have not become vested prior to the date on which the Grantee, for any reason, ceases to serve as an Employee, the Grantee’s rights with respect to such Restricted Shares or Retained Distributions shall immediately terminate, and the Grantee will be entitled to no further payments or benefits with respect thereto.
 
SECTION 5.  Voting Rights; Dividend Equivalents.  Until the forfeiture of any Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 4 above and subject to the terms of the Plan and this Award Agreement (including Sections 3 and 6 hereof), the Grantee shall have the right to vote such Restricted Shares, to receive and retain all regular cash dividends paid on such Restricted Shares and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Shares with respect to such Restricted Shares; provided that the Company will retain custody of all distributions other than regular cash dividends (“Retained Distributions”) made or declared with respect to the Restricted Shares (and such Retained Distributions will be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as are applicable to the Restricted Shares) until such time, if ever, as the Restricted Shares with respect to which such Retained Distributions have been made, paid or declared have become vested, and such Retained Distributions shall not bear interest or be segregated in a separate account.
 
SECTION 6.  Non-Transferability of Restricted Shares and Retained Distributions.  Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator in its discretion, Restricted Shares and Retained Distributions may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of.  Any purported sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other encumbrance or disposition of Restricted Shares or Retained Distributions in violation of the provisions of this Section 6 and Sections 2.6 and 3.3 of the Plan shall be void.

(b)  Stop Transfer Orders and Legends.  The Company may affix to certificates for Shares issued pursuant to this Award Agreement any legend that the Administrator determines to be necessary or advisable (including to reflect any restrictions to which the Grantee may be subject under any applicable securities laws and/or with respect to nontransferability pursuant to this Award Agreement).  The Company may advise the transfer agent to place a stop order against any legended Shares.
 
SECTION 9.  Changes in Capital Structure/Other Significant Events.  This Award may be subject to adjustment in the event of certain changes in capitalization or other significant corporate events, as more fully set forth in Section 1.5 of the Plan.
