speed trial shall be discontinued and postponed until the first favorable day next following, unless the BUYER shall assent in writing to acceptance of the VESSEL on the basis of the speed trial already made before such discontinuance has occurred.

ARTICLE VIIIDELAYS AND EXTENSION OF TIME FOR DELIVERY (FORCE MAJEURE)



|1. | Causes of Delay (Force Majeure):
|-- | --------------------------------

If at any time before the actual
delivery, the construction of the VESSEL, any performance required as a prerequisite of delivery of the VESSEL or actual delivery of the VESSEL is delayed due to acts of princes or rulers; compulsory requirements of government authorities; war,
blockade, revolution, insurrections, mobilization, civil war or commotion; vandalism; sabotages, strikes in the shipbuilding industry in China, riots, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances; acts of a public enemy, plague or other epidemic,
quarantines; flood, typhoon, hurricanes, earthquakes; tidal waves; landslides; fires, explosions; embargoes; import restrictions; prolonged failure of electric current; delays caused by the Classification Society or other bodies whose documents are
required; destruction of the Shipyard; other causes or accidents beyond the reasonable control of the SELLER; provided all the foregoing events where not existing and known to the SELLER at the date of this Contract or the effect of which could not
have been avoided or reduced by the exercise of due diligence by the SELLER or his relevant subcontractors, as the case may be, and provided further that the events and/or delays were not caused or contributed by the negligence or misconduct of the
SELLER and provided further that any of the above events directly affect the construction schedule of the VESSEL; then and in any such case, the date of delivery shall be postponed for a period of one day for every one day actually lost by any of
the aforesaid events, subject nevertheless to the BUYERs right of cancellation under this ARTICLE VIII and subject to all relevant provisions of this Contract which authorize and permit extension of the time of delivery of the VESSEL.

The SELLER shall take immediate steps to overcome and mitigate the delay and to recover time lost, if any. Delays resulting from contingencies occurring
simultaneously shall count as one delay only.

Any cause of delay for which the SELLER claims that it is entitled to a postponement of the Delivery Date
under this Contract resulting from the SELLERs subcontractors shall be subject to any of the aforementioned contingencies being applicable to the subcontractors.



|2. | Notice of Delay:
|-- | ----------------

As soon as possible after and in any event within
seven (7) days after the date of the commencement of any cause of delay, on account of which the SELLER claims that it is entitled under this Contract to a postponement of the Delivery Date excluding days due to arbitration, the SELLER shall
notify the BUYER in writing or by telex or facsimile confirmed in writing of the date when such cause of delay commenced and the reasons thereof, and the estimated duration of the probable delay in delivery of the VESSEL, and shall provide the
BUYER, if available, evidence to justify the delay claimed. Likewise, within seven (7) days after the date of ending of such cause of delay, the SELLER shall notify the BUYER in writing or by telex or facsimile confirmed in writing of the date
when such cause of delay ended.

In any event the SELLER shall also notify the BUYER of the period of time by which the SELLER claims the Delivery Date
should be postponed by reason of such cause of delay within the same seven (7) day period as aforesaid. Failure of the SELLER to notify the BUYER of its claim for postponement of the Delivery Date within a period of seven (7) days from the
date of cessation of the event causing the delay shall be deemed a waiver of its claim.



27



---

Failure of the BUYER to object to the SELLERs claim for postponement of the Delivery Date within Fourteen
(14) days after receipt by the BUYER of such notice of claim shall be deemed to be a waiver by the BUYER of its right to object to such postponement of the Delivery Date.

The burden of proof shall always be on the SELLER to establish the facts entitling it to rely on this Clause and that due notices were given and that it has taken all reasonable steps to avoid or mitigate the delay.



|3. | Definition of Permissible Delay:
|-- | --------------------------------

Delays on account of such causes
as specified in Clause 1 of this ARTICLE VIII and in ARTICLE IV, Clause 4(i)(2)), ARTICLE V, ARTICLE VI, ARTICLE XI, ARTICLE XII, ARTICLE XVII and ARTICLE XVI shall be understood to be Permissible Delays and are to be distinguished from unauthorized
delays on account of which the Contract Price is subject to adjustment and/or the Contract is subject to rescission as provided for respectively in Article III and Article X hereof.



|4. | Right to Rescind for Excessive Delay:
|-- | -------------------------------------

If the total accumulated
time of all delays on account of the causes specified in Clause 1 of this ARTICLE VIII and unauthorized delays as described in the Clause 1 of ARTICLE III aggregate to 180 days or more, in any circumstances, then, in such event, the BUYER may
rescind this Contract by delivering or faxing to the SELLER notice of cancellation which shall be confirmed in writing and in accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE X hereof.

The SELLER may, at any time after the accumulated time of the aforementioned delays justifying the rescission by the BUYER, demand in writing that the BUYER shall make an election, in which case the BUYER shall,
within twenty one (21) days after such demand is received by the BUYER, either notify the SELLER of its intention to rescind this Contract, or consent to a postponement of the Delivery Date to an agreed specific future date. If the BUYER elects
to consent to the postponement of the Delivery Date at such agreed specific future date, then such date shall become the contractual delivery date, for the purpose of this Contract and if the VESSEL is not delivered by such revised delivery date,
the BUYER shall have the same right of rescission upon the same terms as herein provided.

ARTICLE IXWARRANTY OF QUALITY



|1. | Guarantee:
|-- | ----------

The SELLER guarantees the VESSEL in her entirety and
each and every part thereof and in particular but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, her design, drawing, plans, the hull and all machinery, engines, engine room auxiliaries, equipment, fittings, outfittings, appurtenances,
furniture, parts, spares, paint and materials manufactured, furnished, installed or incorporated in the VESSEL by the SELLER and/or its subcontractors under this Contract against all defects, omissions, shortages and non-conformity, defective or
unsuitable materials or equipment, faulty design and/or performance or poor workmanship or negligence, (hereinafter collectively referred to as Defect(s)), whether or not such Defect(s) affect seaworthiness or class within the
Guarantee Period as hereinafter defined.

The SELLER shall pass to the BUYER information about any claims that the SELLER may have against subcontractors
for Defect(s) in deliveries to the VESSEL, without in any way, diminishing the SELLERs guarantee as aforesaid.



|2. | Guarantee from Manufacturers and Suppliers:
|-- | -------------------------------------------

In the event that the
normal guarantee period stipulated by manufacturers or suppliers or various components of machinery, materials, equipment, paint, appurtenances and outfit furnished to the SELLER and embodied in the VESSEL exceeds the Guarantee Period (as
hereinafter defined), the benefits of such extended guarantee rights shall be made available to the BUYER by the SELLER without any additional cost to the BUYER.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the SELLER shall arrange a guarantee from the paint manufacturer for defects in paint and/or application on under water parts of the VESSEL for an additional 24 calendar months from the date of delivery of the
VESSEL to the BUYER.



|3. | Notice of Defects:

The BUYER or its duly authorized
Representatives shall notify the SELLER in writing by delivery or facsimile of any Defect for which claim is made under this guarantee, as promptly as possible after discovery thereof. The BUYERs written notice shall describe in reasonable
detail the nature and extent of the Defect(s).

The SELLER shall have no obligation for any Defect discovered prior to the expiry date of the Guarantee
Period unless notice of such Defect is received by the SELLER not later than thirty (30) days after such expiry date. Telex or facsimile advice within the Guarantee Period that a claim is forthcoming will be sufficient compliance with the
requirement as to time, provided that full description of such Defect(s) in written form shall be received by the SELLER not later than forty-five 45 days after the Guarantee Period.



|4. | Extent of SELLERs Obligation:
|-- | ------------------------------

The SELLER shall have no
obligation for any Defect unless the Defect has arisen within a period of twelve (12) calendar months from the date when the VESSEL was delivered to and accepted by the BUYER (the Guarantee Period).



29

The SELLER shall not be obligated to repair or be liable for damages to the VESSEL, or to any part of the equipment
thereof, if and to the extent the damages are due to:



|(a) | ordinary wear and tear;
|--- | -----------------------



|(b) | defects other than those specified in Clause 1 above;
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------



|(c) | mismanagement, accidents, negligence, or willful misconduct of or caused by the BUYER, its employees or agents including the VESSELs officers, crew and passengers, or any
persons on or doing work on the VESSEL other than the SELLER, its employees, agents or sub-contractors;
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(d) | repairs or replacements which were made by those other than the SELLER and/or their sub-contractors, unless those repairs or replacements were approved by the SELLER.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The SELLER shall not, in any circumstances, be liable for any consequential loss or special loss arising from any cause whatsoever
including, without limitation, loss of time, loss of profit or earnings or demurrage directly or indirectly from any commitments of the BUYER in connection with the VESSEL.

The guarantee in this ARTICLE IX shall not be altered or varied except by a written instrument signed by the duly authorized representatives of the SELLER and the BUYER.



|5. | Remedy of Defects:
|-- | ------------------



|(a) | The SELLER shall remedy, at its cost and expense, any Defect(s) against which the VESSEL is guaranteed under this ARTICLE IX, by making all necessary repairs or replacements as well
as dismantling, removal, reassembling and incidental works at the Shipyard or elsewhere as provided in Clause (b) of this Clause, at the BUYERs convenience.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If the cause of the Defect(s) is not known or if the Defect(s) is of a recurring nature the SELLER shall, at its expense, explore the reason for such
Defect(s) and take all necessary steps and measures to remedy same in such a way as to eliminate the reoccurrence thereof.



|(b) | However, if, in the BUYERs sole discretion, it is impracticable to bring the VESSEL to the Shipyard, the BUYER may cause the necessary repairs or replacements
to be made elsewhere which is deemed suitable by the BUYER for the purpose (including by the VESSELs crew), provided that, in such event, the SELLER may forward or supply replacement parts or materials to the VESSEL, unless forwarding or
supplying to the VESSEL would impair or delay the operation or working schedule of the VESSEL. In the event that the BUYER proposes to cause the necessary repairs or replacements for the VESSEL to be made at any other shipyard or works than the
Shipyard, the BUYER shall first, but in all events as soon as possible, give the SELLER notice in writing by telex or facsimile confirmed in writing of the time and place when and where such repairs will be made, and if the VESSEL is not thereby
delayed, or her operation or working schedule is

| | not thereby impaired, the SELLER shall have the right at its own cost and expense to verify by its own representatives the nature, cause and extent of the
Defect(s) complained of. It is understood that defects to underwater parts of the VESSEL, which were found and detected during the Guarantee Period, may be made good at the time of the first dry-docking of the VESSEL following the expiration of the
Guarantee Period.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The SELLER shall, in such case, promptly advise the BUYER by telex or facsimile confirmed in writing,
after such examination has been completed, of its acceptance or rejection of the Defect(s) as ones that are covered by the guarantee herein provided. Upon the SELLERs acceptance of the Defect(s) as justifying remedy under this ARTICLE IX, or
upon award of the arbitration so determining, the SELLER shall pay to the BUYER for such repairs or replacements a sum equal to the reasonable cost of making the same repairs or replacements in a first class Chinese shipyard, at the prices
prevailing at the time of such repairs or replacements are made. Payment for the work done to remedy the Defect(s) shall be settled regularly during the Guarantee Period and the actual reimbursement for the guarantee shall be made in a lump sum at
the expiry of the Guarantee Period for minor items (up to US$50,000) and promptly by the SELLER after settlement of the same for major items.



|(c) | In any case, the VESSEL shall be taken, at the BUYERs cost and responsibility, to the place elected, ready in all respects for such repairs or replacement. In case of
breakdown at sea due to Defects, the cost of bringing the VESSEL to a repair yard shall be for SELLERs account.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(d) | Notwithstanding anything contained in Clause 5(a) of this ARTICLE IX, the BUYER shall be entitled to require the SELLER to forward to the VESSEL, wherever it may be, replacement(s)
for defective part(s) to which the SELLERs guarantee under this ARTICLE IX applies, and in such case the SELLER shall forward the same by such means as to reach the VESSEL as expeditiously as possible.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In emergency cases when the VESSEL will be prevented from sailing or from completing its voyage, forwarding of replacement(s) as aforesaid will be
effected by the SELLER by air cargo. The SELLER shall bear and pay all C.I.F. costs of the replacement(s) until they arrive on board the VESSEL.



|(e) | Any dispute under this ARTICLE IX shall be referred to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE XII hereof.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|6. | Guarantee Period:
|-- | -----------------

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantee
Period shall be extended in, inter alia, the following cases and to the following extent:



|(a) | If, during the Guarantee Period, the VESSEL shall not be capable of performing services for periods consisting of at least twenty four (24) hours each and aggregating to eight
(8) days or more and such non-capability shall be as a result of any Defect(s) covered by the SELLERs guarantee under Clause 1 of this ARTICLE IX, the Guarantee Period shall be extended by such period(s) of time lost in remedying of the
defect(s) for which the SELLER is responsible according to this Contract or in awaiting part(s) required for the purpose to remedying such defect(s), which accumulated extension period shall not exceed twelve (12) months.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



31



---

|(b) | In relation to reservations made by the BUYER pursuant to Clause 4(b) of ARTICLE VI hereof, the Guarantee Period for the aforesaid reservations shall further be extended up to the
expiration of twelve (12) calendar months following the time when such reservations are respectively made good by the SELLER after the delivery of the VESSEL to the BUYER as herein provided.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|7. | Application to Defects Remedied:
|-- | --------------------------------

Wherever any Defect(s) covered by
the SELLERs Guarantee under this ARTICLE IX has been remedied, in whole or in part, the SELLERs Guarantee under this ARTICLE IX and the provisions of this ARTICLE IX shall apply anew in respect of the part(s) to which such remedying
relates and the aforesaid Guarantee Period shall apply in respect thereof, save that the said Guarantee Period shall commence as from the time of such remedying, and shall end not more than twenty-four (24) months from the date of delivery of
the VESSEL to the BUYER.



|8. | SELLER to Remain Liable:
|-- | ------------------------

If attempts at remedying any Defect(s)
covered by the SELLERs Guarantee under this ARTICLE IX, carried out by or on behalf of the SELLER as aforesaid, are unsuccessful, the SELLER shall remain liable to remedy such Defect(s) until same be satisfactorily remedied. The SELLER shall
be liable under its Guarantee under this ARTICLE IX also for damage to any part of the VESSEL occasioned directly by any Defect(s) to which the SELLERs Guarantee under this ARTICLE IX extends in any other part of the VESSEL.

|-- | -------------------

The SELLER shall at the request of the BUYER
appoint an English speaking Guarantee Engineer to serve on the VESSEL as its Representative for a period of three (3) months from the date the VESSEL is delivered. However, if the BUYER and the SELLER shall deem it necessary to keep the
Guarantee Engineer on the VESSEL for a longer period, then he shall remain on board the VESSEL after the said three (3) months but not longer than six (6) months from the delivery of the VESSEL.

The BUYER, and its employees shall give such Guarantee Engineer full cooperation in carrying out his duties as the representative of the SELLER on board the VESSEL.

The BUYER shall accord the Guarantee Engineer treatment comparable to the VESSELs Chief Engineer as far as possible, and shall provide board and
lodging at no cost to the SELLER and/or the Guarantee Engineer. The SELLER and the BUYER shall, prior to delivery of the VESSEL, execute a separate agreement regarding the Guarantee Engineer.

While the Guarantee Engineer is on board the VESSEL, the BUYER shall pay to the SELLER the sum of US$2,500 per month and the expenses of his repatriation to Shanghai,
Peoples Republic of China by air (economy class) upon termination of his service. The expenses of his communication with the SELLER incurred in performing his duties shall be for SELLERs



32



---

account and expenses, if any, of his medical and hospital care in the VESSELs hospital shall be for BUYERs account. Notwithstanding the above,
the Guarantee Engineer shall remain at all times an employee of the SELLER.

The BUYER, its successors and/or assigns shall be liable to and indemnify the
SELLER for damage or loss arising from personal injury or death of the Guarantee Engineer or from loss or destruction of the property of the Guarantee Engineer if such death, personal injury or property damage is caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of the BUYER, its successors or assigns, employees or agents. The BUYER shall be responsible for risk insurance for the Guarantee Engineer.

|Add.: |  | Unit 2 7thFloor, Bupa Centre 141 Connaught Road West Hong Kong F4 00000, China

|From: |  | [                        ]                                                    
|Add.: |  | [                        ]                                                    

WHEREAS Jiangsu Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.
(hereinafter called the SELLER) and SEASPAN CORPORATION (hereinafter called the BUYER) concluded on 4thJuly, 2006 a contract with number CMEC2006C4195 for the construction of 1 (one) 2500TEU Container Vessel (hereinafter called the Vessel) to be designated as
Hull No. YZJ2006-720C (hereinafter called the Contract).

At the application of
[                                        
                    ] and in consideration of the readiness of the BUYER to pay the SELLER the installment before delivery of the Vessel under the
Contract, we, [            ], having our registered office at [            ] The Peoples Republic of China (hereinafter
called the SELLERs Bank), hereby issue this irrevocable Letter of Guarantee (hereinafter called the Guarantee) in favor of the BUYER to irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee, as a primary obligor and not as a surety, the repayment to the
BUYER by the SELLER of the [            ] installment under the Contract prior to the delivery of the Vessel, in an aggregate amount up to but not exceeding
[            ] United States Dollars only (USD [            ], representing the
[                ] installment of the Contract Price of the Vessel, if and when the same becomes repayable to you from the SELLER in accordance with the terms of the
Contract.

If the SELLER fails to make such repayment within twenty (20) days after the BUYERs demand to the SELLER, we hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally guarantee, as a primary obligor and not as a surety, to pay the BUYER upon our receipt of the BUYERs first written demand for the above-mentioned amount together with interest thereon at the rate of six per cent (6%) per
annum in United States Dollars applicable from the date of receipt by the SELLER of the installment to the date of remittance by telegraphic transfer of such refund by us to the BUYER if the cancellation of the Contract is exercised by the BUYER in
accordance with any other provision of the Contract.

In the event that we receive written notification from the BUYER or the SELLER, confirmed by the
Arbitrators appointed for this purpose, advising of any dispute between the BUYER and the SELLER as to whether the SELLER shall be liable to repay the installment made by the BUYER and, consequently, whether the BUYER shall have the right to demand
payment from us (hereinafter called Repayment Dispute) and that such dispute has been referred to Arbitration in accordance with Article XII of the Contract, we shall be entitled to withhold and defer payment to the BUYER under this
guarantee until an award has been made under such Arbitration. Therefore, we shall not be obligated to make any payment to the BUYER unless the arbitration award orders the SELLER to make repayment and any right of appeal available to the SELLER
under the laws of England is waived or is not exercised by the SELLER in the time period provided for under English law.

the BUYER to the extent the arbitration award thus orders but not exceeding the aggregate amount of this guarantee plus the interest described above, upon receipt of your written demand for payment, provided your demand for payment is accompanied by
a copy of the arbitration award. Nevertheless, the refund shall not exceed the amount actually received by SELLER with interest calculated as prescribed above, applicable from the date of receipt by Seller of the
[] installment to the date of remittance by telegraphic transfer of such refund.

The payment of the amount guaranteed hereunder shall be made by us in United States Dollars without any setoff or counterclaim and without any other deduction and withholding of whatsoever nature, including but not
limited to bank charges, remittance fees, taxes or other applicable withholdings.
