 Conformed Copy 
 Sale and Purchase Agreement 
 This Sale and Purchase Agreement is made this 10th day of February, 2006 between CONTI 51. CONTAINER SCHIFFAHRTS - GMBH & CO. KG Nr. 1
(“Conti”), a limited partnership (KG) organized and existing under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany and having its registered office at Wernher-von-Braun-Straße 10, 85640 Putzbrunn, Federal Republic of Germany and
SEASPAN CORPORATION (“Seaspan”), a corporation formed under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands and listed on the New York Stock Exchange and having a place of business at Room 503, 5/F, Lucky Commercial Center,
103 Des Voeux Road West, Hong Kong, China. 
 Whereas 
  

	 	1.	Conti and ZHEJIANG SHIPBUILDING CO. LTD., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the People’s Republic of China and having its registered office at
No. 69 Jiangnan Road, Ningbo 315040, the People’s Republic of China (the “Shipyard”) and CHINA-BASE NINGBO FOREIGN TRADE CO. LTD., a corporation formed, existing and organised under the laws of the People’s
Republic of China and having its registered office at No. 1 Youngor Avenue, Ningbo, People’s Republic of China (the “Trading House” and together with the Shipyard the “Builder”), have entered into a
shipbuilding contract dated 18th June, 2004 as amended from time to time (the “Building
Contract”) regarding the construction and delivery of a 3500 teu class container vessel with Builder’s hull number ZJB04-125 (the “Vessel”); 

  

	 	2.	The Vessel is more closely specified in the Building Contract, the Building Specification (Drawing No. SC4339-010-02SM), the General Arrangement (Drawing No. SC4339-010-03), the
Midship Section (Drawing No. SC4339-010-04) and the Maker List (Drawing No. SC4339 (ZJ) 010-05) together with any amendment thereto up to the date hereof (the “Contract Documentation”) which is known to and accepted by Seaspan;


  

	 	3.	Pursuant to the Building Contract, the date of delivery of the Vessel is the 28th February, 2007. It is, however, agreed in the Building Contract that the delivery of
the Vessel may be accelerated as a consequence of early completion of the Vessel or delayed as a consequence of the occurrence of any permitted or not permitted delays as defined in the Building Contract up to 218 days upon which time Conti may, at
any time thereafter, cancel the Building Contract by giving a written notice of cancellation to the Builder, all as specified in the Building Contract; 

  

	 	4.	Conti has arranged construction finance and long term finance of the Vessel from Norddeutsche Landesbank - Girozentrale, Hannover, Federal Republic of Germany
(“Nord/LB”); 

  

	 	5.	Conti has entered into with Bremer Bereederungsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG, Bremen, Federal Republic of Germany (“BBG”) a construction supervision contract
pursuant to which BBG is acting for Conti with respect to the construction supervision of the Vessel; 

  

	 	6.	It was the original intention of Conti and Seaspan that Conti would novate the Building Contract to Seaspan such that Seaspan, rather than Conti, would be bound by the terms of the
Building Contract as though it were named as the “Buyer” thereunder and Conti would be released from any of its obligations under the Building Contract; and 

  

	 	7.	 For various reasons, Conti and Seaspan now wish to enter into this Sale and Purchase Agreement whereby Seaspan will purchase the Vessel from Conti immediately
following its delivery by the Builder to Conti, but Seaspan will obtain full authority 











	 	 
vis-á-vis Conti under the Building Contract and will assume full responsibility for, among other things, the supervision and inspection of the
construction of the Vessel with effect from the date of this Agreement and the liability of Conti will be limited as set out in Art. X hereof. 


 NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF the covenants and agreements set forth in this agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows: 
  

	 	I.	Sale of Vessel 

 Conti hereby offers the Vessel for
sale to Seaspan and Seaspan hereby accepts such offer and buys the Vessel from Conti. 
  

	 	II.	Purchase Price 

 The purchase price to be paid by
Seaspan to Conti for the Vessel shall be calculated as set out in Exhibit I hereto (the “Purchase Price”). 
  

	 	III.	Time and Condition of Delivery 

  

	 	1.	Time and Condition 

 a) Conti will deliver
the Vessel to Seaspan hereunder at the same time and in the state and condition as the Vessel is delivered by the Builder to Conti pursuant to the terms of the Building Contract. 
 The Vessel shall be delivered hereunder with all appurtenances and equipment including spare parts and spare equipment as delivered by the Builder to
Conti pursuant to the Building Contract. Seaspan shall take over the bunkers, lubricating oils and other consumable stores (the “Consumable Stores”) remaining on board at the time of delivery of the Vessel from the Builder to Conti
and pay such prices as are payable by Conti to the Builder under the Building Contract. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted accordingly. 
 b) Insofar as Conti must provide for such Consumable Stores for the trial runs or otherwise under the Building Contract, Seaspan shall make such provision at its own cost and without adjustment of the Purchase Price. Any payments
paid to Conti from the Builder for the consumption of such Consumable Stores shall be credited to Seaspan by adjustment of the Purchase Price. 
 c) Any deficiencies of the Vessel as described in Article III or any other provision of the Building Contract not entitling Conti to rescind or cancel the Building Contract have to be accepted by Seaspan as adjusted for price
thereunder without any liability of Conti. 
  

	 	2.	Adjustment of Purchase Price 

 a) Any
penalty (whether by way of liquidated damages or otherwise) paid by the Builder under the Building Contract or reduction of the purchase price under the Building Contract for late delivery of the Vessel or for other deficiencies of the Vessel as
determined in Article III of the Building Contract at the time of her delivery shall be for the benefit of Seaspan and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted as per Exhibit I hereto. 
 Seaspan (having authority and being responsible for the building supervision as per Art. VII hereof) will inform Conti promptly upon the occurrence of
any such delay and/or deficiency. 







 b) Seaspan (having authority and being responsible for the building supervision as per Art. VII
hereof) will likewise inform Conti of any acceleration of the delivery of the Vessel when such acceleration has been notified by the Builder. 
  

	 	3.	Cancellation of Building Contract 

 a)
Insofar as Conti is entitled under Articles III, VI, VIII or any other provision of the Building Contract to, at its option, either accept the Vessel or reject the Vessel and cancel the Building Contract for insufficient speed, excessive fuel
consumption, deadweight below contract requirements, insufficient number of container loadings, excessive delay in delivery or any other reason, as the case may be, Conti will accept or reject the Vessel only on the instruction of Seaspan. Seaspan
will provide such instruction to Conti at least three German working days (hereinafter “Working Days”) prior to the time at which Conti, pursuant to the Building Contract, must declare rejection or acceptance of the Vessel or
cancellation of the Building Contract to the Builder. 
 For the avoidance of doubt and without prejudice to the generality of Art. III.1
hereof, any liability of Conti to Seaspan under this subclause for any deficiencies of the Vessel or delay in delivery accepted by Conti in accordance with the instruction of Seaspan is excluded. 
 b) If Seaspan fails to instruct Conti in accordance with the above sub-clause 3. a or Seaspan instructs Conti to reject the Vessel and to cancel
the Building Contract, Conti shall be free to accept the Vessel or to cancel the Building Contract. 
 Should Seaspan either fail to timely
instruct Conti in accordance with the above sub-clause 3.a) or instruct Conti to reject the Vessel and to cancel the Building Contract, this Agreement shall be deemed cancelled irrespective of whether or not Conti continues the Building Contract and
Conti shall retain the First Instalment (as defined hereafter) and all monies on the Change Limit Trust Account (as defined hereafter) including interest. Neither party shall have a claim against each other for reason of this Agreement being deemed
cancelled. 
 c) Should the Building Contract be cancelled, rescinded or terminated for any reason whatsoever, this Agreement shall
also be deemed cancelled and neither party shall have a claim against each other for reason of this Agreement being deemed cancelled. Notwithstanding the aforesaid if such cancellation, rescission or termination of the Building Contract is due to
Conti’s default (defined in the Building Contract as Buyers’ Default as per Art. XI of the Building Contract, except were caused by Seaspan’s default under this Agreement), Conti shall return to Seaspan the First Instalment and all
monies on the Change Limit Trust Account (both as defined hereafter) including interest immediately; otherwise such funds are to remain with and be released to Conti. Furthermore Seaspan shall in case of Conti ́s default be entitled to claim
due compensation for its losses (excluding consequential losses) and for all reasonable expenses together with interest. 
 d) If the
cancellation, rescission or termination of the Building Contract is held invalid by an award or a decision of the competent court, this Agreement shall not be deemed cancelled by either party and Seaspan shall remain obliged to take delivery of the
vessel in accordance with the provisions of this agreement. 
  

	 	4.	Classification/Registration 

 The Building Contract
provides that the Vessel shall be built and completed in compliance with the rules of Germanischer Lloyd (“GL”) and for registration in Malta, Liberia or the Marshall Islands. Seaspan will keep GL as the classification society for
the 








 
Vessel during construction but upon the delivery of the Vessel by Conti to Seaspan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Seaspan will change the
classification society to either Lloyd’s Register of Shipping or Det Norske Veritas, at Seaspan’s sole discretion. At the request of Seaspan, Conti will take all reasonable steps necessary to obtain from GL any documents or information
that Seaspan may need to change the classification society as contemplated herein or for registering the Vessel in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong. Any costs and expenses incurred thereby to be for Seaspan’s account and not included in
Article II of this Agreement. 
 Upon delivery of the Vessel to Seaspan hereunder, Seaspan will register the Vessel under the laws of Hong
Kong and Conti will use reasonable endeavours to cause the Builder to alter the Building Contract accordingly. Any increases of the purchase price under the Building Contract as a result of the change in flag shall result in a corresponding increase
of the Purchase Price as per Exhibit I hereof. Furthermore, Seaspan shall pay any other costs resulting therefrom as and when they come due directly to the Builder. 
  

	 	5.	Delivery Documentation 

 In exchange for payment of
the Purchase Price as per Art. VI. hereof, Conti will deliver the Vessel together with the documents listed in Exhibit II hereto to Seaspan and any other documents that Seaspan may reasonably require in order to register the Vessel in Hong Kong
(together, the “Documents”). Conti will provide Seaspan with one (1) original of each Document and two (2) copies. Conti will use reasonable endeavours to cause the Builder to issue or cause to be issued (as the case may
be) all such Documents in the name of Seaspan as the Vessel’s owner. Any extra cost charged by the Builder for issuing such documents in the name of Seaspan shall be for Seaspan’s account and Seaspan will pay such amount to the Builder
directly. Seaspan will for this purpose deliver any information required by the Builder. 
  

	 	IV.	Place of Delivery and Place of Closing 

  

	 	1.	The Vessel shall be delivered hereunder at the place where the Vessel is delivered to Conti by the Builder under the Building Contract. 

  

	 	2.	The place of the documentary closing is Hamburg, Germany except that if Seaspan determines that documentary closing in Hamburg will have an adverse tax consequence to it then the
documentary closing will be moved to a jurisdiction which is tax neutral to both Conti and Seaspan. 

  

	 	V.	Notice of Time of Delivery 

 Conti will notify
Seaspan and Seaspan will notify Conti of the time at which the Builder intends to tender the Vessel for delivery to Conti. Delivery of the Vessel by Conti to Seaspan as contemplated hereunder will take place immediately upon the Vessel being
effectively delivered by the Builder to Conti in accordance with the terms of the Building Contract. Any delay of delivery under the Building Contract shall delay delivery hereunder accordingly. 








	 	VI.	Payment of Purchase Price 

  

	 	1.	Within five New York Business Days of signing this Agreement Seaspan shall pay to Conti free of all banking charges the amount of USD 2,000,000.00 (hereinafter the “First
Instalment”), repayment of such amount according to the provisions of this Agreement to be guaranteed by Conti Holding GmbH & Co. KG, Putzbrunn / Germany in a form acceptable to Seaspan. 

  

	 	2.	The Purchase Price as calculated in accordance with Exhibit I less the First Instalment and the fifth instalment (delivery instalment) under the Building Contract shall be
transferred to a trust account (the “Trust Account”) held by Nord/LB (details of the Trust Account to be indicated timely by Conti) to be received on the Trust Account latest five New York Business Days prior to the time of delivery
of the Vessel from the Builder. The Purchase Price so paid shall be held by Nord/LB on behalf of either Seaspan or its remitting bank until the Vessel is delivered from the Builder to Conti and simultaneously from Conti to Seaspan. In case the
delivery fails to take place as anticipated within a period of ten New York Business Days from the deposit of the Purchase Price, Seaspan has the right to request Nord/LB to return the Purchase Price to the remitting bank. The Purchase Price shall
be paid out to Conti by Nord/LB upon presentation to Nord/LB of the Protocol of Delivery and Acceptance duly signed by Seaspan’s and Conti’s authorized representatives. 

 An amount equal to the fifth instalment (delivery instalment) under the Building Contract shall be transferred in the name of Conti by Seaspan to the
account nominated by the Builder at least two (2) New York Business Days prior to the delivery date of the Vessel according to the Building Contract by telegraphic transfer to the Builder ́s Bank remaining for a period of five
(5) days with an irrevocable instruction that the said amount shall be released to the Builder against presentation by the Builder to the said Builder’s Bank of a duplicate original of the Protocol of Delivery and Acceptance of the Vessel
duly signed by Conti’s authorized representative and the Builder ́s authorized representative and with the further instruction to release the said amount to Seaspan if the aforementioned Protocol of Delivery and Acceptance of the Vessel is
not presented before expiry of the period of five (5) days calculated from the date of remittance of the funds. Interest, if any, accrued from such deposit, shall be for the benefit of Seaspan. Seaspan will provide Conti with evidence of such
payment and corresponding instructions at the time of payment. 
 However, when the new scheduled delivery date is notified to Conti by the
Builder, Conti will notify Seaspan promptly and Seaspan shall make the telegraphic transfer in accordance with the same terms and conditions as said out above. 
  

	 	3.	Any taxes, fees and expenses in connection with the purchase and registration under Seaspan’s flag shall be for Seaspan’s account. 

  

	 	4.	Conti shall pay all broker’s fees charged in connection with the purchase and sale of the Vessel as contemplated herein, including but not limited to the fees of W. J.
Hinneberg of Hamburg, Germany except any brokers engaged by Seaspan. 

  

	 	VII.	Technical Responsibility / Building Supervision / Modifications 

 Seaspan shall have authority and be responsible for all technical matters regarding the construction of the Vessel and, accordingly, shall organize the supervision and survey of the construction of the Vessel on the

	 	b)	Where the cost of any individual Change exceeds the sum of USD 150,000.00 (hereinafter the “Change Limit”) or where the cumulative costs of any number of Changes
requested by Seaspan as of the Commencement Date exceed the Change Limit, Seaspan shall pay each such excess into an interest bearing trust account (the “Change Limit Trust Account” or “CLTA”) before such Change is

assign these rights to Seaspan as contemplated in Art. IX.1 above, Conti will, at the request of Seaspan, enforce all or any of its rights with respect to the Benefits and Warranties or the right to appoint a guarantee engineer for the Vessel, as
the case may be, and promptly deliver to Seaspan any such benefits received thereunder. 

  

	 	4.	Seaspan shall indemnify Conti against any and all reasonable costs and expenses it may incur arising out of or in connection with a claim made at the request of Seaspan pursuant to
this Article.

	 	X.	Building Contract 

  

	 	1.	The liability of Conti with regard to the Building Contract is limited to the representation and warranty that the Building Contract is validly concluded by Conti and has not been

this Agreement as an alternative. 

  

	 	2.	Conti will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the refund guarantor and/or the Builder to the assignment of the refund guarantee for the Vessel by Conti to

will be terminated and replaced by the Novation Agreement. The fulfilment of any outstanding obligations that may be owed by either party hereunder on the date of such termination will either be incorporated into the Novation Agreement or addressed
in another agreement before this Agreement is terminated.
