Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 6 of Form F-3 which were filed under the Exchange Act on or before the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the terms “amend”, “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference.

The statements set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, insofar as they purport to describe certain terms of the Operative Agreements, fairly summarize the matters described therein.

(nn) The Company does not believe that it is a Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”) within the meaning of Section 1297 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, based on the Company’s current and expected assets, income and operations as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the Company does not believe it is likely to become a PFIC.

3. Sale and Delivery of Shares.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell Shares from time to time through the several Managers, acting as sales agents, and each Manager severally agrees to use its reasonable efforts to sell, as a sales agent for the Company, the Shares on the following terms. All obligations of each Manager pursuant to this Agreement shall be several and not joint.

(i) The Shares are to be sold on a daily basis or otherwise as shall be agreed to by the Company and the applicable Manager on any day that (A) is a trading day for NYSE, (B) the Company has instructed the applicable Manager by telephone (confirmed promptly by electronic mail) to make such sales and (C) the Company has satisfied its obligations under Section 5 of this Agreement. The Company will designate the maximum amount of the Shares to be sold by the applicable Manager daily as agreed to by such Manager (in any event not in excess of the amount available for issuance under the Prospectus and the currently effective Registration Statement) and the minimum price per Share at which such Shares may be sold. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the applicable Manager shall use its reasonable efforts to sell on a particular day all of the Shares designated for the sale by the Company on such day. The gross sales price of the Shares sold under this Section 3(a) shall be the market price for shares of the

Company’s Common Stock sold by the applicable Manager under this Section 3(a) on the NYSE at the time of sale of such Shares. Other than pursuant to a Terms Agreement with respect to which all Managers are parties, the Company shall not instruct more than one Manager to offer or sell shares on any single day.

(ii) The Company acknowledges and agrees that (A) there can be no assurance that any Manager will be successful in selling the Shares, (B) no Manager will incur any liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell Shares for any reason other than a failure by such Manager to use its reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations to sell such Shares as required under this Agreement, and (C) no Manager shall be under any obligation to purchase Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically agreed by such Manager and the Company.

(iii) The Company shall not authorize the issuance and sale of, and no Manager shall be obligated to use its reasonable efforts to sell, any Share at a price lower than the minimum price therefor designated from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), or a duly authorized committee thereof, and notified to the applicable Manager in writing, or in a number in excess of the number of Shares approved for listing on NYSE, or in excess of the number or amount of Shares available for issuance on the Registration Statement or as to which the Company has paid the applicable registration fee, it being understood and agreed by the parties hereto that compliance with any such limitations shall be the sole responsibility of the Company. The Company or any Manager may, upon notice to the other parties hereto by telephone (confirmed promptly by electronic mail), suspend or terminate the offering of the Shares by the Company through such Manager for any reason and at any time; provided, however, that such suspension or termination shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares sold hereunder prior to the giving of such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, during any such period of suspension (which suspension period shall not be deemed to have begun for the purposes of this paragraph (iii) until the first day following the Settlement Date in respect of any sale of Shares pursuant to this Agreement that has not yet been consummated), the Company shall not be obligated to deliver (or cause to be delivered) any of the documents referred to in Sections 4(l), 4(m), 4(n) or 4(o), be deemed to affirm any of the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement pursuant to Sections 2 or 4 hereof, or be obligated to conduct any due diligence session as referred to in Section 4(p) until the termination of the suspension and the recommencement of the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement (which recommencement shall constitute a Representation Date, as defined in Section 4(l)).

(iv) Each Manager hereby covenants and agrees not to make any sales of the Shares on behalf of the Company, pursuant to this Section 3(a), other than (A) by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act, including without limitation sales made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions between members of the NYSE that qualify for delivery of a Prospectus to the NYSE in accordance with Rule 153 of the 1933 Act Regulations (such transactions are hereinafter referred to as “Continuous Offerings”) and (B) such other sales of the Shares on behalf of the Company in its capacity as agent of the Company as shall be agreed by the Company and such Manager pursuant to a Terms Agreement.

(v) The compensation to the Managers for sales of the Shares with respect to which a Manager acts as a sales agent under this Agreement shall be at a mutually agreed rate, not to exceed 2.0% of the gross sales price of the Shares sold pursuant to this Section 3(a) and payable as described in the succeeding subsection (vi) below. The foregoing rate of compensation shall not apply when a Manager acts as principal, in which case the Company may sell Shares to the applicable Manager as principal at a price agreed upon at the relevant Applicable Time pursuant to a Terms Agreement. The remaining proceeds, after further deduction for any transaction fees imposed by any governmental or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales (the “Transaction Fees”), shall constitute the net proceeds to the Company for such Shares (the “Net Proceeds”).

(vi) The applicable Manager shall provide written confirmation (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) to the Company following the close of trading on the NYSE each day in which the Shares are sold under this Section 3(a) setting forth the number of the Shares sold on such day, the aggregate gross sales proceeds and the Net Proceeds to the Company, and the compensation payable by the Company to such Manager with respect to such sales. At the Manager’s option, such compensation shall be (i) deducted from the aggregate gross sales proceeds or (ii) set forth and invoiced in periodic statements from the applicable Manager to the Company, with payment to be made by the Company promptly after its receipt thereof.

(vii) Settlement for sales of the Shares pursuant to this Section 3(a) will occur on the second business day following the date on which such sales are made (each such day, a “Settlement Date”). On each Settlement Date, the Shares sold through a Manager for settlement on such date shall be issued and delivered by the Company to such Manager against payment of the aggregate gross sales proceeds less any Transaction Fees for the sale of such Shares. Settlement for all such Shares shall be effected by free delivery of the Shares to the applicable

Manager’s account at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) in return for payments in same day funds delivered to the account designated by the Company. If the Company or its transfer agent (if applicable) shall default on its obligation to deliver the Shares on any Settlement Date, the Company shall (A) indemnify and hold the applicable Manager harmless against any loss, claim or damage arising from or as a result of such default by the Company and (B) pay such Manager any commission to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default. If a Manager breaches this Agreement by failing to deliver the aggregate gross sales proceeds less any Transaction Fees to the Company on any Settlement Date for the Shares delivered by the Company, such Manager will pay the Company interest based on the effective overnight federal funds rate on such unpaid amount less any compensation due to such Manager.

(viii) At each Applicable Time, Settlement Date and Representation Date (as defined in Section 4(l)), the Company shall be deemed to have affirmed each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement as if such representation and warranty were made as of such date, modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended as of such date. Any obligation of the Managers to use their reasonable efforts to sell the Shares on behalf of the Company shall be subject to the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the continuing satisfaction of the additional conditions specified in Section 5 of this Agreement.

(b) If the Company wishes to issue and sell the Shares pursuant to this Agreement but other than as set forth in Section 3(a) of this Agreement (each, a “Placement”), it will notify the applicable Manager of the proposed terms of such Placement. If the applicable Manager, acting as principal, wishes to accept such proposed terms (which it may decline to do for any reason in its sole discretion) or, following discussions with the Company wishes to accept amended terms, such Manager and the Company will enter into a Terms Agreement setting forth the terms of such Placement. The terms set forth in a Terms Agreement will not be binding on the Company or the applicable Manager unless and until the Company and such Manager have each executed such Terms Agreement accepting all of the terms of such Terms Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement will control.

(c) Each sale of the Shares to a Manager shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and, if applicable, a Terms Agreement, which will provide for the sale of such Shares to, and the purchase thereof by, the applicable Manager. A Terms Agreement may also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of such Shares by a Manager. The commitment of a Manager to purchase the Shares pursuant to any Terms Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations and warranties of the Company herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. Each Terms Agreement shall specify the number of the Shares to be purchased by the applicable Manager pursuant thereto, the price to be paid to the Company for such Shares, any provisions relating to rights of, and default by, underwriters acting together with the applicable Manager in the reoffering of the Shares, and the time and date (each such time and date being referred to herein as a “Time of Delivery”) and place of delivery of and payment for such Shares. Such Terms Agreement shall also specify any requirements for opinions of counsel, accountants’ letters and officers’ certificates pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement and any other information or documents required by the applicable Manager.

(d) Under no circumstances shall the number and aggregate amount of the Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreement exceed (i) the aggregate amount set forth in Section 1, (ii) the number of shares of the Common Stock available for issuance under the currently effective Registration Statement or (iii) the number and aggregate amount of the Shares authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement by the Board, or a duly authorized committee thereof, and notified to the Managers in writing.

(e) If the Company or a Manager has reason to believe that the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act are not satisfied with respect to the Shares, it shall promptly notify the other parties and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Manager shall be obligated to act as sales agent until that or other exemptive provisions have been satisfied in the judgment of such Manager. For the avoidance of doubt, during any such period, the Company shall not be deemed to make the representation and warranty set forth in Section 2(vv) hereof.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not request the sale of any Shares that would be sold, and the Managers shall not be obligated to sell, during any period in which the Company’s xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy would prohibit the purchases or sales of the Company’s Common Stock by its officers or directors, or during any other period in which the Company is, or could be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information

4. Agreements.

The Company agrees with the Managers that:

(a) During any period when the delivery of a prospectus relating to the Shares is required (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172) to be delivered under the Act, the Company will not file any amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement (including the Prospectus Supplement) to the Basic Prospectus with respect to the offering of the Shares unless the Company has furnished the Managers a copy for their review prior to filing and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Managers reasonably object. The Company has properly completed the Prospectus, in a form approved by the Managers, and filed such Prospectus, as amended at the Execution Time, with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) by the Execution Time and will cause any supplement to the Prospectus to be properly completed, in a form approved by the Managers, and will file such supplement with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Managers of such timely filing. The Company will promptly advise the Managers (i) when the Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed (if required) with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), (ii) when, during any period when the delivery of a prospectus (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 or any similar rule) is required under the Act in connection with the offering or sale of the Shares, any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or become effective, (iii) of any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment of the Registration Statement or for any supplement to the Prospectus or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any notice that would prevent its use or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the occurrence of any such suspension or prevention and, upon such issuance, occurrence or prevention, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal of such stop order or relief from such occurrence or prevention, including, if necessary, by filing an amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement and using its commercially reasonable efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable.

(b) If, at any time on or after an Applicable Time but prior to the related Settlement Date or Time of Delivery, any event occurs as a result of which the Disclosure Package would include an untrue statement of a material fact or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or the circumstances then prevailing, not misleading, the Company will (i) notify promptly the Managers so that any use of the Disclosure Package may cease until it is amended or supplemented; (ii) amend or supplement the Disclosure Package to correct such statement or omission; and (iii) supply any amendment or supplement to the Managers in such quantities as the Managers may reasonably request.

(c) During any period when the delivery of a prospectus relating to the Shares is required under the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made at such time not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement, file a new registration statement or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, including in connection with use or delivery of the Prospectus, the Company promptly will (i) notify the Managers of such event, (ii) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the first sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 4, an amendment or supplement or new registration statement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance, (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to have any amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable in order to avoid any disruption in use of the Prospectus and (iv) supply any supplemented Prospectus to the Managers in such quantities as the Managers may reasonably request.

(d) As soon as practicable, the Company will make generally available to its security holders and to the Managers an earnings statement or statements of the Company and its subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158.

(e) The Company will furnish to the Managers and counsel for the Managers signed copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by the Managers or a dealer may be required by the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), as many copies of the Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any supplement thereto as the Managers may reasonably request.

(f) The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Shares for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Managers may reasonably designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as reasonably required for the distribution of the Shares; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Shares, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.

(g) The Company agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Managers, and each Manager agrees with the Company that, unless it has obtained or will obtain, as the case may be, the prior written consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433; provided that the prior written consent of the parties hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Free Writing Prospectuses included in Schedule III hereto. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Managers or the Company is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (y) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify each Manager and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.

(h) Other than during any suspension of the offering of Shares pursuant to this Agreement (which suspension period shall not be deemed to have begun for the purposes of this paragraph (h) until the first day following the Settlement Date in respect of any sale of Shares pursuant to this Agreement that has not yet been consummated), the Company will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition of (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise), by the Company or any affiliate of the Company or any person in privity with the Company or any affiliate of the Company) directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement made in compliance with paragraph (a) of this Section 4) with the Commission in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any other shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock, or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, without (i) giving the Managers at least three Business Days’ prior written notice specifying the nature of the proposed transaction and the date of such proposed transaction and (ii) the Managers suspending acting under this Agreement for such period of time requested by the Company or as deemed appropriate by the Managers in light of the proposed transaction; provided, however, that the Company may (i) issue and sell Common Stock pursuant to (a) this Agreement or any Terms Agreement, (b) any employee stock option plan, stock appreciation rights, stock ownership plan, employment agreement, dividend reinvestment plan or direct stock purchase plan of the Company described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus in effect at the Applicable Time, (c) the financial services agreement dated May 16, 2016 between the Company and Seaspan Financial Services Ltd., and (ii) issue Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of securities or the exercise of warrants outstanding at the Applicable Time, in each case without providing notice to the Managers or the Managers suspending acting under this Agreement or (d) preemptive rights granted to holders of the Series F Preferred Shares in the Statement of Designation of the Series F Preferred Shares filed with the Registrar of Corporations of the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands on May 17, 2016.

(i) The Company will comply in all material respects with all applicable securities and other applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company’s directors and officers, in their capacities as such, to comply with such laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act.

(j) The Company will not (i) take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares or (ii) sell, bid for, purchase or pay any person (other than as contemplated by this Agreement or any Terms Agreement) any compensation for soliciting purchases of the Shares.

(k) The Company will, at any time during the term of this Agreement, as supplemented from time to time, advise the Managers immediately after it shall have received notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of any information or fact that would materially alter or affect any opinion, certificate, letter and other document provided to the Managers pursuant to Section 5 herein.

The Company shall cooperate timely with any reasonable due diligence request from or review conducted by the Managers or their agents from time to time in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, providing information and available documents and access to appropriate corporate officers and the Company’s agents during regular business hours and at the Company’s principal offices, and timely furnishing or causing to be furnished such certificates, letters and opinions from the Company, its officers and its agents, as the Managers may reasonably request.

(u) The Company shall ensure that there are at all times sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the issuance, free of any preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or shares of Common Stock held in treasury, of the maximum aggregate number of Shares authorized for issuance by the Board pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shares to be listed for trading on the NYSE and to maintain such listing.

(v) During any period when the delivery of a prospectus relating to the Shares is required (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172) to be delivered under the Act, the Company will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act within the time periods required by the Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder.

(w) The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Managers and use its reasonable efforts to permit the Shares to be eligible for clearance and settlement through the facilities of DTC.

(x) The Company agrees to pay the costs, fees and expenses relating to the following matters: (i) the preparation, printing or reproduction and, if applicable, filing with the Commission of the Registration Statement (including financial statements and exhibits thereto), the Prospectus, each Free Writing Prospectus and each amendment or supplement to any of them; (ii) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery (including postage, air freight charges and charges for counting and packaging) of such copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and all amendments or supplements to any of them, as may, in each case, be reasonably requested for use in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares; (iii) the preparation, printing, authentication, issuance and delivery of certificates, if any, for the Shares, including any stamp or transfer taxes in connection with the original issuance and sale of the Shares; (iv) the registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act and the listing of the Shares on NYSE (including any supplemental listing application); (v) any registration or qualification of the Shares for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of the several states (including filing fees and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Managers relating to such registration and qualification); (vi) any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) (including filing fees and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Managers relating to such filings); (vii) the transportation and other expenses incurred by or on behalf of Company representatives in connection with any presentations to prospective purchasers of the Shares; (viii) the fees and expenses of the Company’s accountants and the fees and expenses of

counsel (including local and special counsel) for the Company; (ix) all other costs, fees and expenses incident to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and (x) the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel for the Managers in connection with this Agreement and the Registration Statement and ongoing services in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, except as expressly provided above in this Section 4(x) or otherwise as agreed with the Company in writing, the Managers shall be responsible for any transfer taxes on resale of Shares by them and any costs and expenses associated with this Agreement, any Terms Agreements, the transactions contemplated thereby and the sale and marketing of the Shares.

(y) The Company will use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Shares in the manner specified in the Prospectus under “Use of Proceeds”.

5. Conditions to the Obligations of the Managers. The several obligations of the Managers under this Agreement and any Terms Agreement shall be subject to (i) the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company contained herein as of the Execution Time, each Representation Date, and as of each Applicable Time, Settlement Date and Time of Delivery, (ii) to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and (iii) the following additional conditions:

(a) The Prospectus, and any supplement thereto required by Rule 424 to be filed with the Commission, have been filed in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) with respect to any sale of Shares; any other material required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act shall have been filed with the Commission within the applicable time periods prescribed for such filings by Rule 433; and the Registration Statement is effective and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any notice that would prevent its use shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or threatened.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) The Company shall have requested and caused Xxxxxxx Coie LLP, United States counsel for the Company, to have furnished to the Managers their opinion, on every date specified in Section 4(m) of this Agreement, and addressed to the Managers, to the effect that:

(i) The Registration Statement became effective upon its filing with the Commission. To such counsel’s knowledge, no stop order suspending effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Act, and no proceedings for this purpose have been instituted

or are pending or threatened by the Commission. Any required filing of the Prospectus and any supplement thereto pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act with respect to any sale of Shares has been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reference to Rule 424(b)(8)). Without independent verification of the factual accuracy, completeness or fairness of any statements made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, each (except for the financial statements and financial schedules and other financial information included therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion) appears on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder;

(ii) The statements set forth in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F under the captions “Risk Factors—Tax Risks—We, Or Any Of Our Subsidiaries, May Become Subject To Income Tax In Jurisdictions In Which We Are Organized Or Operate, Including The United States, Canada And Hong Kong, Which Would Reduce Our Earnings And Potentially Cause Certain Shareholders To Be Subject To Tax In Such Jurisdictions,” and “Risk Factors—Tax Risks—U.S. Tax Authorities Could Treat Us As A ‘Passive Foreign Investment Company,’ Which Could Have Adverse U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences To U.S. Shareholders” insofar as such statements summarize legal matters discussed therein, are, in all material respects, accurate summaries of such legal matters; and the description of the statutes and regulations set forth in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F under the caption “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Environmental and Other Regulations—United States,” accurately describes in all material respects the portions of the statutes and regulations addressed thereby; provided, however, that such counsel need express no opinion with respect to any laws other than those of the United States;

(iii) The statements in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F under the caption “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Taxation of the Company—United States Taxation” and the statements in the Prospectus under the caption “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” with respect to legal matters or legal conclusions, in all material respects, are accurate discussions of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations addressed therein (we do not opine or comment on the representations and statements of fact of the Company included in such discussions). The opinion of Xxxxxxx Xxxx LLP to be filed as Exhibit 8.1 to the Report on Form 6-K furnished to the Commission on or before the Execution Date, and to be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement is confirmed and the Managers may rely on such as if it were addressed to them;

(iv) Insofar as matters of United States federal law are concerned, to such counsel’s knowledge, (i) there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened against the Company or to which the Company is a party or to which any of its properties is subject that are required to be described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus but are not so described as required and (ii) there are no agreements, contracts, indentures, leases or other documents or instruments that are required to be described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement that are not described or filed as required;

(v) The Company is not, and immediately after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Shares and immediately upon receipt of payment for the Shares, and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus, will not be required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

(vi) All consents, approvals, authorizations or other orders of, or registrations or filings on the part of the Company with any United States federal governmental or regulatory authority required for the issuance by the Company of the Shares and the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, any Terms Agreement and the Prospectus have been made or obtained, or will be effective as of the date of the opinion;

(vii) Without independent verification of the factual accuracy, completeness or fairness of any statements made therein, the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, when each became effective or was filed with the Commission, as the case may be, each (except for the financial statements and financial schedules, and other financial and statistical information included therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion) appears on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder;

(viii) The issue and sale of the Shares by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any Terms Agreement will not (i) result in a breach or the imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of any indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (including any document filed as an exhibit to any document incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement) to which the Company is a party or bound or to which its property is subject, which breaches or impositions of such lien, charge

or encumbrance would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or (ii) violate any generally applicable statute, law, rule or regulation (other than U.S. federal securities, state or foreign securities or blue sky or anti-fraud statutes, laws, rules or regulations, laws and regulations relating to commodity (and other) futures and indices and other similar instruments, and the rules and regulations of FINRA), or any judgment, order or decree to the knowledge of such counsel applicable to the Company of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties, which violations would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and

(ix) Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, to the knowledge of such counsel, no holders of securities of the Company have current rights to the registration of such securities under the Registration Statement.

In addition, such counsel shall state that, such counsel has participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company, representatives of the Managers and representatives of the independent auditors of the Company at which the contents of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto were discussed. Such counsel shall state that, although such counsel assumes no responsibility for the factual accuracy, completeness or fairness of any statements (other than as set forth in paragraphs (ii) and (iii) above, subject to the assumptions, exclusions and qualifications set forth in such counsel’s opinion) made in (a) the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, (b) the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (c) the documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or any further amendment or supplement thereto, nothing has come to such counsel’s attention that causes such counsel to believe that:

the Registration Statement or the base prospectus included therein (except for the financial statements and financial schedules and other financial information included therein, as to which such counsel need not comment) as of its most recent Effective Date contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or

the Prospectus (except for the financial statements and financial schedules and other financial information included therein, as to which such counsel need not comment) as of its date, or as amended or supplemented, if applicable, as of the date of such opinion, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may (A) rely in respect of matters of fact upon certificates of officers and employees of the Company and upon information obtained from public officials, (B) assume that all documents submitted to them as originals are authentic, that all copies submitted to them conform to the originals thereof, and that the signatures on all documents examined by them are genuine, and (C) state that their opinion is limited to United States federal laws.

(d) The Company shall have requested and caused Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, Canadian tax counsel for the Company, to have furnished to the Managers their opinion, on every date specified in Section 4(m) of this Agreement, and addressed to the Managers, to the effect that:

(i) All statements of legal conclusions contained under the caption “Non-United States Tax Considerations—Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the Prospectus are correct and accurate with respect to the matters set forth therein as of the date of such opinion, and such counsel is of the opinion that the statements under the caption “Non-United States Tax Considerations—Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the Prospectus, with respect to those matters as to which no legal conclusions are provided, are an accurate discussion of the Canadian federal income tax matters applicable to those holders who acquire Shares in connection with the offering thereof;

(ii) The statements set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “Non-United States Tax Considerations—Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” accurately describe the Canadian income tax matters described therein; provided, however, with respect to the opinion referred to in this section 5(d), such counsel need express no opinion or comment on any representation or statement of fact, intention or assumption, or of risk (except to the extent of any conclusion of law set out under such caption), or of a general nature (except to the extent of any conclusion of law set out under such caption), made by or on behalf of the Company in the Prospectus including, but without restricting the generality of the forgoing, the following statements under such caption: “Based on our operations and our understanding of the foregoing intention of the definition of “international shipping”, we do not believe that we are, nor do we expect to be, resident in Canada for purposes of the Canada Tax Act, and we intend that our affairs will be conducted and operated in a manner such that we do not become a resident of Canada under the Canada Tax Act”; “A Canadian resident corporation that carries on an international shipping business, as described in the previous sentence, in the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands is exempt from income tax under the current laws of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands”; and “Subject to the below assumption, we expect that we will qualify for these statutory exemptions under the Canada Tax Act.

Based on our operations, we do not believe that we are, nor do we expect to be, carrying on a business in Canada for purposes of the Canada Tax Act other than a business that would provide us with these statutory exemptions from Canadian income tax”.

The opinion of such counsel set forth in the two preceding paragraphs may be based on the provisions of the Canada Tax Act and the regulations thereunder in force as of the date of such opinion, all specific proposals to amend the Canada Tax Act and the regulations thereunder which have been publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date of such opinion (the “Proposed Amendments”), the current provisions as of the date of such opinion of the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980) and such counsel’s understanding of existing case law and the current published administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Amendments will be implemented in their current form or at all. Such opinion will not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by legislative, governmental or judicial decision or action, and will not take into account provincial, territorial or foreign tax legislation or considerations;

(e) The Company shall have requested and caused Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, P.C., Xxxxxxxx Islands counsel for the Company, to have furnished to the Managers their opinion, on every date specified in Section 4(m) of this Agreement, and addressed to the Managers, to the effect that:

(i) The Company and each subsidiary of the Company organized under the laws of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands, with full corporate power and authority to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate its properties and conduct its business in all material respects as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus;

(ii) The Company’s authorized equity capitalization is as set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus; the capital stock of the Company conforms in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus; the outstanding Common Stock and the Existing Preferred Shares have been duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and nonassessable; the certificates for the Shares are in valid and sufficient form; the holders of outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are not entitled to preemptive or other rights to subscribe for the Shares that have not been waived; and, except as set forth in the Prospectus, no options, warrants or other rights to purchase, agreements or other obligations to issue, or rights to convert any obligations into or exchange any securities for, shares of capital stock of or ownership interests in the Company are outstanding;

(iii) To the knowledge of such counsel, there is no pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands or any arbitrator involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries which are organized under the laws of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands or its property of a character required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement which is not adequately disclosed in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus; and the statements included in the 2016 Annual Report incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and the Prospectus under the caption “Item 8. Financial Information—A. Financial Statements and Other Financial Information—Dividend Policy” and the statements included in the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Capital Stock” insofar as such statements constitute a summary of the terms of the capital stock of the Company, Xxxxxxxx Islands legal matters, documents or proceedings referred to therein, and the statements in the Prospectus under the captions “Non-United States Tax Considerations—Xxxxxxxx Islands Tax Considerations” and “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities” insofar as such statements summarize Xxxxxxxx Islands tax considerations, legal matters, agreements, documents or proceedings, accurately and fairly describe in all material respects such legal matters, agreements, documents or proceedings; provided, however, that such counsel need express no opinion with respect to the laws of Canada;

(iv) Insofar as matters of Xxxxxxxx Islands law are concerned, the Registration Statement and the filing of the Registration Statement with the Commission have been duly authorized by and on behalf of the Company, and the Registration Statement has been duly executed pursuant to such authorization by and on behalf of the Company;

(v) Each of this Agreement, any Terms Agreement and the Operative Agreements to which the Company is a party has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by the Company;

(vi) To the knowledge of such counsel, no permits of, or declarations or filings with, any governmental or regulatory authorities and all courts and other tribunals, in the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands, are required for the Company or any of its subsidiaries which are organized under the laws of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate its properties and to carry on its business in the manner described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus;

(vii) No consent, registration or qualification under the laws of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands is required for the offering, issuance and sale by the Company of the Shares, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or any Terms Agreement by the Company or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Terms Agreement;

(viii) Neither the issue and sale of the Shares, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or any Terms Agreement, nor the consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated herein nor the fulfillment of the terms hereof will conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance under Xxxxxxxx Islands law upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries which are organized under the laws of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands pursuant to (i) the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or of its subsidiaries which are organized under the laws of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands (ii) any Xxxxxxxx Islands statute, law, rule, order, or regulation of general application to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries which are organized under the laws of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands is subject;

(ix) All dividends and other distributions declared and payable on the shares of capital stock of the Company, including the Shares, may under the current laws and regulations of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands be paid in United States dollars and may be freely transferred out of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands, and all such dividends and other distributions will not be subject to withholding or other taxes under the laws and regulations of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands and are otherwise free and clear of any other tax, withholding or deduction and without the necessity of obtaining any consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, licenses, registrations, clearances and qualifications of or with any court or governmental agency or body in the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands;

(x) No documentary, stamp or other issuance or transfer taxes or duties and no capital gains, income, withholding or other taxes are payable by or on behalf of the Managers to the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands or to any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein in connection with the sale and delivery by the Company of the Shares for the respective accounts of the Managers or the sale and delivery by the Managers of the Shares to the purchasers thereof; and

(xi) The choice of law provision set forth in Section 11 hereof is legal, valid and binding under the laws of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands and such counsel knows of no reason why the courts of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands would not give effect to the choice of New York law as the proper law of this Agreement; the Company has the legal capacity to sue and be sued in its own name under the laws of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands; the Company

has the power under the laws of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands to submit, and has irrevocably submitted, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts and has validly and irrevocably appointed Xxxxxxx & Associates as its designee, appointee and authorized agent for the purpose described in Section 12 hereof under the laws of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands; the irrevocable submission of the Company to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts, and assuming the Company is not regularly engaged in the conduct of activities pursuant to contractual arrangements with the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands or another sovereign jurisdiction or any division, bureau, office, agency, department or political subdivision thereof, the waiver by the Company of any immunity and any objection to the venue of the proceeding in a New York Court in this Agreement are legal, valid and binding under the laws of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands and, assuming the foregoing, such counsel knows of no reason why the courts of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands would not give effect to the submission and waivers; service of process in the manner set forth in Section 12 of this Agreement will be effective to confer valid personal jurisdiction over the Company under the laws of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands; and provided that provisions of The Xxxxxxxx Islands Uniform Foreign Money-Judgments Recognition Act set out below are complied with, a final and conclusive judgment against the Company obtained in a New York court out of or in relation to the obligations of the Company under this Agreement would be enforceable in the courts of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands without retrial on the merits.

Such provisions provide as follows: that a judgment obtained in a foreign jurisdiction in connection with this Agreement would be recognized unless (a) the judgment was rendered under a system which does not provide impartial tribunals or procedures compatible with the requirements of due process of law; (b) the foreign court did not have personal jurisdiction over the defendant; (c) the foreign court did not have jurisdiction over the subject matter; or (d) the foreign country does not recognize or enforce judgments of any other foreign nation. In addition, a foreign judgment need not be recognized if (a) the defendant in the proceedings in the foreign court did not receive notice of the proceedings in sufficient time to enable him to defend; (b) the judgment was obtained by fraud; (c) the cause of action on which the judgment is based is repugnant to the public policy of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands; (d) the judgment conflicts with another final and conclusive judgment; (e) the proceeding in the foreign court was contrary to an agreement between the parties under which the dispute in question was to be settled otherwise than by proceedings in the court; or (f) in the case of jurisdiction based only on personal service, the foreign court was a seriously inconvenient forum for the trial of the action. If none of the above grounds exist then the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands High Court will enforce a foreign judgment without a retrial on the merits.

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may (A) rely in respect of matters of fact upon certificates of officers and employees of the Company and the Managers and upon information obtained from public officials, (B) assume that all documents submitted to them as originals are authentic, that all copies submitted to them conform to the originals thereof, and that the signatures on all documents examined by them are genuine, and (C) state that their opinion is limited to the laws of the Republic of The Xxxxxxxx Islands.

(f) The Managers shall have received from Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx LLP, counsel for the Managers, such opinions, on every date specified in Section 4(n) of this Agreement, and addressed to the Managers, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Shares, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) and other related matters as the Managers may reasonably require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.

(g) The Company shall have furnished to the Managers a certificate of the Company, signed by the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer (including any interim Chief Executive Officer) and the principal financial or accounting officer of the Company, on every date specified in Section 4(l) of this Agreement, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any supplements or amendments thereto and this Agreement and that:

(i) the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of such date with the same effect as if made on such date and the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to such date;

(ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any notice that would prevent its use has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened; and

(iii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, there has been no Material Adverse Effect, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(h) The Company shall have requested and caused KPMG LLP to have furnished to the Managers, on every date specified in Section 4(o) of this Agreement and to the extent requested by a Manager in connection with any offering of the Shares, letters, dated as of such date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Managers, confirming that they are the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder adopted by the Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”), and that they have performed a review of any unaudited interim consolidated financial information of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, in accordance with the PCAOB standards for a review of interim financial information as described in AU 722, Interim Financial Information, and stating in effect that:

(i) in their opinion, the audited consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and reported on by them comply as to form, in all material respects, with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act and the related rules and regulations adopted by the Commission;

(ii) on the basis of: a reading of the latest unaudited interim consolidated financial statements made available by the Company; their limited review, in accordance with the standards established under PCAOB AU 722, of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus; carrying out certain specified procedures (but not an examination in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards) which would not necessarily reveal matters of significance with respect to the comments set forth in such letter; a reading of the minutes of the meetings of shareholders, directors and any committees of the Company; and inquiries of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters of the Company as to transactions and events subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statements, audited or unaudited, included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, nothing came to their attention which caused them to believe that:

(1) any material modifications should be made to said unaudited interim consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and the Prospectus for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles; or said unaudited financial statements do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act and the related rules and regulations adopted by the Commission; or

(2) with respect to the period subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statements, audited or unaudited, included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, there were any changes, at a specified date not more than five days prior to the date of the letter, in the capital stock of the Company, increases in consolidated long-term debt and consolidated long-term obligations under capital lease, decreases in consolidated shareholders’ equity, of the Company, as compared with the amounts shown on the combined balance sheet dated as of the date of the most recent financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, or for the period from such date to such specified date there were any decreases, as compared with the appropriate comparative period in the preceding year, in net revenue or net earnings of the Company, except in all instances for changes or decreases set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in such letter, in which case the letter shall be accompanied by an explanation by the Company as to the significance thereof unless said explanation is not deemed necessary by the Managers; and

(iii) they have performed certain other specified procedures as a result of which they determined that certain information of an accounting, financial or statistical nature (which is limited to accounting, financial or statistical information derived from the general accounting records of the Company and its predecessor) set forth or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus agrees with the financial statements included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, the accounting records of the Company and its predecessor, or to other financial information provided by the Company, in which case the sources of such other financial information shall be described, excluding any questions of legal interpretation.

References to the Prospectus in this paragraph (h) include any supplement thereto at the date of the letter.

(i) Since the respective dates as of which information is disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, except as otherwise stated therein, there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (h) of this Section 5 or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case referred to in

clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the applicable Manager, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Shares as contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

(j) The Company shall have paid the required Commission filing fees relating to the Shares.

(k) Between the Execution Time and the time of any sale of Shares through the applicable Manager or Managers, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of the Company’s securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined in Section (3)(a)(62) of the Exchange Act) or any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change.

(l) FINRA shall not have raised any objection with respect to the fairness and reasonableness of the terms and arrangements under this Agreement.

(m) The Shares shall have been approved for listing on NYSE, subject only to official notice of issuance, and satisfactory evidence of such actions shall have been provided to the Managers.

(n) Prior to each Settlement Date and Time of Delivery, as the case may be, the Company shall have furnished to the Managers such further information, certificates and documents as the Managers may reasonably request.

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 5 shall not have been fulfilled when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the applicable Manager and counsel for the Managers, this Agreement and all obligations of such Manager hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, any Settlement Date or Time of Delivery, as applicable, by such Manager. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.

6. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Manager, the directors, officers, employees and agents of such Manager, and each person who controls such Manager within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Shares as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by a Manager specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Each Manager severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as referred to in subsection (a) in the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Manager, but only with reference to written information furnished to the Company by such Manager specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Manager consists of the name of such Manager in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Manager may otherwise have.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be

reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one action or series of related actions in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action). An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release and no admission of fault of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Managers severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and one or more of the Managers may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Managers on the other from the offering of the Shares; provided, however, that in no case shall any Manager (except as may be provided in any agreement between Managers relating to the offering of the Shares) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting or sales discount or commission applicable to the Shares purchased by such Manager hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Managers severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand and of the Managers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses), and benefits received by the Managers shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting or sales discounts and commissions, in each case as determined by this Agreement or any applicable Terms Agreement. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a

material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Managers on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Managers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 6, each person who controls a Manager within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of a Manager shall have the same rights to contribution as such Manager, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

7. Termination.

(a) The Company shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate the provisions of this Agreement relating to the solicitation of offers to purchase the Shares in its sole discretion at any time. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that (i) if Shares have been sold through the one or more of the Managers for the Company, then Section 4(t) shall remain in full force and effect, (ii) with respect to any pending sale, through one or more of the Managers for the Company, the obligations of the Company, including in respect of compensation of the applicable Manager, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination and (iii) the provisions of Sections 2, 4(x), 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

(b) Each Manager, as to itself, shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate the provisions of this Agreement relating to the solicitation of offers to purchase the Shares in its sole discretion at any time. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 2, 4(x), 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

(c) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Sections 7(a) or (b) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Sections 2, 4(x), 6 and 8 shall remain in full force and effect.

(d) Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Managers or the Company, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date or Time of Delivery for any sale of the Shares, such sale shall settle in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(a)(vii) of this Agreement.

(e) In the case of any purchase of Shares by a Manager pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the obligations of such Manager pursuant to such Terms Agreement shall be subject to termination, in the absolute discretion of such Manager, by notice given to the Company prior to the Time of Delivery relating to such Shares, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment (i) trading in the Common Stock or any series of the Existing Preferred Shares shall have been suspended by the Commission or NYSE, (ii) trading in securities generally on NYSE shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on NYSE, (iii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by federal or New York State authorities or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of such Manager, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Shares as contemplated by the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

8. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers, and the Managers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Manager or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 6 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.

Dear Sirs:

Seaspan Corporation (the “Company”) proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein and in the Equity Distribution Agreement, dated November 6, 2017 (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”), between the Company and Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC, X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated and Xxxxxxxxx LLC, to issue and sell to [Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC, X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated and Xxxxxxxxx LLC], acting severally (the “Purchaser[s]”) the securities specified in the Schedule I hereto (the “Purchased Shares”) [, and solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, to grant to the Purchasers the option to purchase the additional securities specified in the Schedule I hereto (the “Additional Shares”)].

[The Purchasers shall have the right to purchase from the Company all or a portion of the Additional Shares as may be necessary to cover over-allotments made in connection with the offering of the Purchased Shares, at the same purchase price per share to be paid by the Purchasers to the Company for the Purchased Shares. This option may be exercised

by the Purchasers at any time (but not more than once) on or before the thirtieth day following the date hereof, by written notice to the Company. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate number of shares of Additional Shares as to which the option is being exercised, and the date and time when the Additional Shares are to be delivered (such date and time being herein referred to as the “Option Closing Date”); provided, however, that the Option Closing Date shall not be earlier than the Time of Delivery (as set forth in the Schedule I hereto) nor earlier than the second business day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised nor later than the fifth business day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised. Payment of the purchase price for the Additional Shares shall be made at the Option Closing Date in the same manner and at the same office as the payment for the Purchased Shares.]

Each of the provisions of the Equity Distribution Agreement not specifically related to the solicitation by the Managers, as agents of the Company, of offers to purchase securities is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and shall be deemed to be part of this Terms Agreement to the same extent as if such provisions had been set forth in full herein. Each of the representations and warranties set forth therein shall be deemed to have been made at and as of the date of this Terms Agreement [and] [,] the Time of Delivery [and any Option Closing Date], except that each representation and warranty in Section 2 of the Equity Distribution Agreement which makes reference to the Prospectus (as therein defined) shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty as of the date of the Equity Distribution Agreement in relation to the Prospectus, and also a representation and warranty as of the date of this Terms Agreement [and] [,] the Time of Delivery [and any Option Closing Date] in relation to the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to relate to the Purchased Shares.

An amendment to the Registration Statement (as defined in the Equity Distribution Agreement), or a supplement to the Prospectus, as the case may be, relating to the Purchased Shares [and the Additional Shares], in the form heretofore delivered to the Managers is now proposed to be filed with the Commission.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Equity Distribution Agreement which are incorporated herein by reference, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Purchasers and the Purchasers severally agree to purchase from the Company the number of shares of the Purchased Shares at the time and place and at the purchase price set forth in the Schedule I hereto.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us a counterpart hereof, whereupon this Terms Agreement, including those provisions of the Equity Distribution Agreement incorporated herein by reference, shall constitute a binding agreement between the Purchasers and the Company.
