(hh) Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Package, since the date of the most recent balance sheet of the Company and the Parent and their respective consolidated subsidiaries included in the Disclosure Package, (i) the Company and the Parent have not been advised of or become aware of (A) any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting, that could adversely affect the ability of the Company, the Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries to record, process, summarize and report financial data, or any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the internal control over financial reporting of any of the Company, the Parent and each of their respective subsidiaries; and (ii) there have been no significant changes in internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect internal control over financial reporting, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

The Liens granted under the Indenture and the Security Agreement (the “Second Lien Note Liens”) will constitute valid and continuing Liens on the Collateral in favor of the Trustee on behalf of and for the benefit of the holders of the First Lien Notes, which Liens on the Collateral (1) will have been perfected (as described in, and subject to any exceptions to be set forth in the Disclosure Package) (2) will have the priority set forth in the Disclosure Package, and (3) will be enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Company and each Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The Company and the Guarantors will have received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Security Agreement to the pledge of the Collateral to the Trustee under the Indenture and under the Security Agreement. As of the Closing Date, all action necessary to perfect the Second Lien Note Liens will have been duly taken.

(jj) After giving effect to the Transactions (including, without limitation, the retirement of existing indebtedness and the related agreements contemplated thereby), other than Liens granted pursuant to the Transaction Documents and Permitted Liens, none of the Company or the Guarantors have pledged, assigned, sold or granted a security interest in the Collateral. All actions necessary (including the filing of UCC-1 financing statements and filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any applicable foreign intellectual property office or agency) to protect and evidence the Trustee’s Liens in the Collateral will have been duly and effectively taken by the Company and the Guarantors (as described in, and subject to any exceptions to be set forth in the Security Agreement). After giving effect to the Transactions (including, without limitation, the retirement of existing indebtedness and the related agreements contemplated thereby), no security agreement, financing statement, equivalent security or Lien instrument or continuation statement authorized by the Company or any Guarantor and listing the Company or any

Guarantor as debtor covering all or any part of the Collateral shall be on file or of record in any jurisdiction, except in respect of Permitted Liens or such as may have been filed, recorded or made as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(kk) The historical financial statements (including the related notes and supporting schedules) included in Disclosure Package present fairly in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the entities purported to be shown thereby, at the dates and for the periods indicated, and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved.

(ll) The pro forma financial statements included in the Disclosure Package include assumptions that provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the Transactions, and the related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions. The pro forma financial statements included in the Disclosure Package have been prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidance with respect to pro forma financial information. The pro forma financial statements set forth in the Disclosure Package have been prepared on the basis consistent with such historical financial statements, include all material adjustments to the historical financial data required by Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X to reflect the Transactions, and give effect to assumptions made on a reasonable basis and in good faith present fairly in all material respects the Transactions.

(mm) No labor disturbance by or dispute with the employees of the Parent or any of its subsidiaries exists or, to the knowledge of the Parent or such subsidiaries, is imminent that would reasonably be expected to have a Purchase Agreement Material Adverse Effect.

(nn) Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Package, there is and has been no material failure on the part of the Company or the Guarantors, to the extent applicable, or any of the Company’s or the Guarantors’ directors or officers, in their capacities as such, to comply with any provision of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith.

(oo) The operations of the Company, the Guarantors and their respective subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the money laundering statutes of all jurisdictions, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”) and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or the Guarantors, threatened.

(pp) None of the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of any of the Company or the Guarantors, any director, officer, manager, member, agent, employee or affiliate of any of the Company, the Guarantors

or any of their respective subsidiaries is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”); and the Company and the Guarantors will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the offering of the First Lien Notes, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person or entity, for the purpose of financing the activities of any person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.

(qq) Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions, each of the Company and the Guarantors will be Solvent. As used in this paragraph, the term “Solvent” means, with respect to a particular date, that on such date (i) the present fair market value (or present fair saleable value) of the assets of the relevant entity are not less than the total amount required to pay the probable liabilities of such entity on its total existing debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as they become absolute and matured, (ii) the relevant entity is able to realize upon its assets and pay its debts and other liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments as they mature and become due in the normal course of business, (iii) assuming the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the relevant entity is not incurring debts or liabilities beyond its ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature, (iv) the relevant entity is not engaged in any business or transaction, and is not about to engage in any business or transaction, for which its property would constitute unreasonably small capital after giving due consideration to the prevailing practice in the industry in which such entity is engaged, and (v) the relevant entity is not a defendant in any civil action that is reasonably expected to result in a judgment that such entity is or would become unable to satisfy. In computing the amount of such contingent liabilities at any time, it is intended that such liabilities will be computed at the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

(rr) None of the Company or the Guarantors is a party to any contract, agreement or understanding with any person that would give rise to a valid claim against any of them or the Purchaser for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with the Transactions.

Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company and delivered to the Purchaser or counsel for the Purchaser in connection with the offering of the First Lien Notes shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company, as to matters covered thereby, to the Purchaser, and not a representation or warranty by the individual officer.

The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have to the Purchaser or to any affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person of the Purchaser.

(b) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure and; provided, further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7. If any such claim or action

shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly the Purchaser and its directors, officers, employees and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Purchaser against any of the Company or the Guarantors under this Section 7, if (i) the Company, the Guarantors and the Purchaser shall have so mutually agreed; (ii) the Company and the Guarantors have failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser; (iii) the Purchaser and its respective directors, managers, officers, employees and controlling persons shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of counsel, that there may be legal defenses available to them that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company or the Guarantors; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Purchaser or its directors, officers, employees or controlling persons, on the one hand, and the Company or the Guarantors, on the other hand, and representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would present a conflict due to actual or potential differing interests between them, and in any such event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Company and the Guarantors. No indemnifying party shall (x) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), 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 of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party, or (y) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment of the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 7(a) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the

untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Guarantors, or the Purchaser, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Guarantors and the Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 7(c) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 7 any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

18. Exchange Offer, New ABL Facility. The Exchange Offer and entry into the New ABL Facility shall be consummated pursuant to the RSAs substantially simultaneously with the purchase of the Secured Notes and no provision thereof shall have been amended or waived (and, in the case of the New ABL Facility, no consent to deviation from the requirements thereof shall have been granted by the lenders thereunder), in each case, in any material respect adverse to the Commitment Parties, solely in their capacity as providers of their respective Commitment.

19. Financing Terms. The terms of the Secured Notes, the terms and conditions of the Convertible Secured Notes and the New ABL Facility (including but not limited to terms and conditions relating to the interest rate, fees, amortization, maturity, subordination, covenants, events of default and remedies), shall be consistent in all material respects with the terms set forth herein and in the RSAs and otherwise reasonably satisfactory in all respects to the Commitment Parties.

20. Absence of Defaults. There shall not exist any default or event of default on the Closing Date under the Indenture after giving effect to the use of the proceeds of the Secured Notes. There shall not exist any default or event of default on the Closing Date under the Note Purchase Agreements.

21. Trustees.

institution that is an “accredited investor” (each as defined in the Security Act)), except that as the Commitment Parties are not underwriters, there shall be no requirement for an offering memorandum or other offering documentation beyond the documentation and information necessary to satisfy the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act; (b) the indenture governing the First Lien Secured Notes consistent with the terms set forth in Exhibit C and otherwise containing customary terms for the First Lien Secured Notes issued in a private placement and eligible for resale on a “144A-for-life” basis; (c) the indenture governing the Second Lien Secured Notes consistent with the terms set forth in Exhibit D and otherwise containing customary terms for the Second Lien Secured Notes issued in a private placement and eligible for resale on a “144A-for-life” basis; and (d) pledge and security agreements covering the collateral for the First Lien Secured Notes and the Second Lien Secured Notes; in each of cases (a) through (d) in form and substance consistent in all material respects with this Commitment Letter and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Supermajority Commitment Parties and the Company (collectively, the “Definitive Documentation”); and the Commitment Parties shall have received customary closing certificates (including a solvency certificate of a financial officer as to the solvency of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to the Transactions), customary legal opinions (for the avoidance of doubt, other than a 10b-5 letter), customary corporate documents, customary evidence of corporate authority, and customary certificates of good standing in the Loan Parties’ respective jurisdictions of formation.

23. Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties made by the Company and its subsidiaries herein, or which are contained in any certificate furnished at any time under or in connection herewith shall (i) with respect to representations and warranties that contain a materiality qualification, be true and correct and (ii) with respect to representations and warranties that do not contain a materiality qualification, be true and correct in all material respects, in each case on and as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of such date (except for those which expressly relate to an earlier date).

24. Bankruptcy. There shall be no bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings pending with respect to the Company or any subsidiary thereof.

28. Intercreditor Agreement. The agent, on behalf of itself and the lenders, under the New ABL Facility shall have entered into an intercreditor agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) with the trustee on behalf of the purchasers of the First Lien Secured Notes, the trustee on behalf of the purchasers of the Second Lien Secured Notes and the trustee on behalf of the holders of new Convertible Secured Notes that is not materially less favorable to the holders of the First Lien Secured Notes and the holders of the Second Lien Secured Notes than the terms described on Exhibit C and D, respectively.

31. Consents. Counsel to the Commitment Parties shall have received evidence that all boards of directors, governmental, shareholder and material third party consents and approvals

(if any) necessary in connection with the Transactions have been obtained or duly waived and all applicable waiting periods have expired without any action being taken by any authority that could restrain, prevent or impose any material adverse conditions on such transactions or that could seek or threaten any of the foregoing.

32. PATRIOT Act. The Issuer shall have delivered all documentation and other information reasonably required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act, in any case, requested in writing by the Commitment Parties at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

33. Compliance with Laws. The issuance of the Secured Notes and other Transactions contemplated hereby shall be in compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations and no order, statute, rule, regulation, executive order, stay, decree, judgment or injunction shall have been proposed, enacted, entered, issued, promulgated, enforced or deemed applicable by any stock exchange, court or any governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or instrumentally, that would or would reasonably be expected to (i) prohibit, prevent, restrict or delay consummation of the Transactions, or (ii) impose burdensome restrictions on the Transaction.

customary documentation in connection with real estate collateral) and is not provided on the Closing Date after the Issuer’s use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so (other than in respect of the filing of financing statements and the delivery of short-form security agreements and certificates representing capital stock and membership interest, in each case as set forth above), the creation or perfection (as applicable) of such lien shall not constitute a condition precedent to the issuance of the Secured Notes on the Closing Date but such action shall be required to have been taken within a commercially reasonable time after the Closing Date and in any event within 90 days thereafter, subject to exceptions to perfection requirements to be reasonably agreed.

After giving effect to the debt financing and other transactions contemplated hereby, the Company and its subsidiaries shall each be qualified as “a citizen of the United States” within the meaning of Section 2 of the Shipping Act, 1916, as amended, 46 U.S.C. § 50501(a) and (d), qualified to own and operate vessels in the coastwise trade of the United States to the extent required by such Act in connection with the Company and its subsidiaries’ business.

39. Information Verification. The Company shall have satisfied the information verification requirements described in a letter to a representative of the Exchanging Holders on or prior to the date of this Commitment Letter.

40. Additional Matters. The parties shall, in good faith, work and cooperate together on the corporate, tax and regulatory aspects of the Transactions and the post-reorganized Company so that the resolution of such matters is reasonably satisfactory to the Commitment Parties.

EXHIBIT VII

SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

I, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, the duly authorized and acting Chief Financial Officer of HORIZON LINES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to the commitment letters, dated as of August 26, 2011 (each, a “Commitment Letter” and collectively, the “Commitment Letters”) by and between the Company and certain holders of its 4.25% convertible senior notes due in 2012 issued under the Indenture, dated as of August 8, 2007, by and between the Company, as issuer, and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee, in the aggregate principal amount of $330,000,000.00 and certain other third parties (each, a “Commitment Party” and collectively, the “Commitment Parties”) do hereby certify in the name of and on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and in my capacity as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, but without any personal liability, as follows (capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Commitment Letter):

41. On the date hereof and after giving effect to the Transactions:

(a)

the fair value of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater than the total amount of liabilities, including contingent, subordinated, absolute, fixed, matured or unmatured and liquidated or unliquidated liabilities, of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis;

(b)

the present fair saleable value of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, exceeds (i) the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, on the debts of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, as such debts become absolute and matured and (ii) the total liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis (including, without limitation, subordinated, unmatured, unliquidated and known contingent liabilities);

(c)

the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are able to pay their debts and other liabilities, contingent obligations and other commitments as they mature in the normal course of business;

(d)

the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are not engaged in business or any transaction, or are about to engage in business or any transaction, for which their property would constitute unreasonably small capital; and

(e)

the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are not “insolvent” as such term is defined in Section 101(32) of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 101, et. seq.

42. In consummating the Transactions, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries intends to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

43. In reaching the conclusions set forth in this Certificate, I have made such investigation and inquiries as to the financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as I deem necessary and prudent for the purpose of providing this Certificate, including without limitation:

(a)

the cash and other current assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis; and

(b)

all contingent liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, including, without limitation, claims arising out of pending or threatened litigation against any such entity, and in so doing, have computed the amount of such liabilities as the amount which, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing on the date hereof, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.
