On June

of a new series of subordinated units designated the Subordinated Series A Units
(the “Series A Units”). The Series A Units are not eligible to receive cash
distributions until the earlier of a change of control of Navios Partners or
June 29, 2012, at which time the Series A Units automatically convert into
common units and receive distributions in accordance with all other common
units. The rights of the holder of the Series A Units and the
provisions regarding the Series A Units are as set forth in the Second Amended
and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Navios Maritime Partners L.P.
dated June 29, 2009. A copy of the Second Amended and Restated

to purchase the Capesize vessel TBN I for $130.0 million and granted Navios
Partners a 12-month option to purchase the TBN I for $125.0
million. A copy of the Amendment to Share Purchase Agreement is filed
as Exhibit 10.1 as part of this Report.
In
addition, the parties identified therein executed on June 29, 2009 the

2011, Navios Holdings of the rights of first offer and restrictions on the types
of vessels that may be acquired as originally identified under the Omnibus
Agreement, dated November 16, 2007, into which the parties identified
therein previously entered. A copy of the Amendment to Omnibus
Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2 as part of this Report.
Furthermore,
pursuant to a waiver dated June 29, 2009 (the “Waiver”), Navios Partners
released, until June 29, 2011, Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (“Navios
Acquisition”) of its right of first refusal with respect to vessels Navios
Acquisition has to offer for sale to Navios Partners if acquired by Navios
Acquisition pursuant to the Right of First Refusal and Corporate Opportunities
Agreement, dated June 25, 2008, into which the parties identified
therein previously entered. A copy of the Waiver is filed as Exhibit
