BETWEEN

(1) EMPEROR HOLDING LTD., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands, whose registered address is at Trust Company Complex, Ajeltake Road, Ajeltake Island, Majuro, Xxxxxxxx Islands MH96960 (the “Guarantor”); and

BACKGROUND

(A) By a loan agreement dated 26 March 2019 (the “Loan Agreement”) and made between (i) Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp., as borrower (the “Borrower”) and (i) the Lender as lender, it was agreed that the Lender would make available to the Borrower a loan facility of up to US$7,000,000 (the “Loan”).

(B) The Guarantor is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Borrower and commercially benefits from the Loan as the Loan provides additional liquidity to the Borrower ensuring that it can meet its current obligations while retaining liquidity available to fund the working capital and other financial requirements of the Guarantor.

(C) It is a condition precedent to the Lender advancing the Loan to the Borrower under the Loan Agreement that the Guarantor shall execute and deliver to the Lender this Guarantee.

IT IS AGREED as follows:

(b) no amount is owing or has accrued (without yet having become due for payment) under the Loan Agreement.

1.3 Application of construction and interpretation provisions of Loan Agreement

Clauses 1.2 (Definitions) and 1.3 (Construction of certain terms) of the Loan Agreement apply, with any necessary modifications, to this Guarantee.

(a) guarantees the due payment of all amounts payable by the Borrower under or in connection with each of the Secured Agreements;

(b) undertakes to pay to the Lender, on the Lender’s demand, any such amount which is not paid by the Borrower when payable; and

(c) fully indemnifies the Lender on its demand in respect of all claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which are made or brought against or incurred by the Lender as a result of or in connection with any obligation or liability guaranteed by the Guarantor being or becoming unenforceable, invalid, void or illegal; and the amount recoverable under this indemnity shall be equal to the amount which the Lender would otherwise have been entitled to recover.

3 LIABILITY AS PRINCIPAL AND INDEPENDENT DEBTOR

3.1 Principal and independent debtor

The Guarantor shall be liable under this Guarantee as a principal and independent debtor and accordingly it shall not have, as regards this Guarantee, any of the rights or defences of a surety.

3.2 Waiver of rights and defences

Without limiting the generality of Clause 3.1, the Guarantor shall neither be discharged by, nor have any claim against the Lender in respect of:

(a) any amendment or supplement being made to any of the Secured Agreements;

2

(c) any release or loss (even though negligent) of any right created by any of the Secured Agreements;

(d) any failure (even though negligent) promptly or properly to exercise or enforce any such right; or

(e) any other Secured Agreement now being or later becoming void, unenforceable, illegal or invalid or otherwise defective for any reason, including a neglect to register it.

4 EXPENSES

5.1 Reinstatement of obligation to pay

The Guarantor shall pay to the Lender on its demand any amount which the Lender is required, or agrees, to pay pursuant to any claim by, or settlement with, a trustee in bankruptcy of the Borrower on the ground that a Secured Agreement, or a payment by the Borrower, was invalid or on any similar ground.
