Forward-looking statements in this Annual Report are estimates and assumptions reflecting the judgment of senior management and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

We use the term "twenty-foot equivalent unit," or TEU, the international standard measure of containers, in describing the capacity of our containerships, which are also referred to as "our vessels". We identify the classes of our vessels by the approximate average TEU capacity of the vessels in each class. However, the actual TEU capacity of a vessel may differ from the approximate average TEU capacity of the vessels in such vessel's class.

We use the term "megawatts", representing a unit of energy, to describe the power generation capacity of our power assets. The actual megawatts that can be generated from our power assets, individually or in aggregate may differ from the approximate amount disclosed.

We also use a variety of operational terms and concepts in this Annual Report. These include the following:

*Annual Survey.* The inspection of a vessel pursuant to international conventions, by a classification society surveyor, on behalf of the flag state, that takes place every year.

*Bareboat Charter.* A charter of a vessel under which the shipowner is usually paid a fixed amount for a certain period of time during which the charterer is responsible for the vessel operating expenses, including crewing, and voyage expenses of the vessel and for the management of the vessel. A bareboat charter is also known as a "demise charter" or a "time charter by demise."

*Bunkers.* Heavy fuel and diesel oil used to power a vessel's engines.

*Charter.* The hire of a vessel for a specified period of time or a particular voyage to carry a cargo from a loading port to a discharging port. The contract for a charter is commonly called a charterparty.

*Charterer.* The party that charters a vessel.

*Charter hire.* A sum of money paid to the shipowner by a charterer for the use of a ship.

*Classification society.* An independent organization that certifies that a vessel has been built and maintained according to the organization's rules for that type of vessel and complies with the applicable rules and regulations of the flag state and the international conventions of which that country is a member. A vessel that receives its certification is referred to as being "in-class."

*Dry-docking.* The removal of a vessel from the water for inspection and, if needed, repair of those parts of a vessel that are below the water line. During dry-dockings, which are required to be carried out periodically, certain mandatory classification society inspections are carried out and relevant certifications are issued. Dry-dockings for containerships are generally required once every five years, which must be a "special survey."

*Flag State.* The country of a vessel's registry.

*Hire rate.* The payment to the shipowner from the charterer for the use of the vessel.

*Hull.* Shell or body of a vessel.

*IMO.* International Maritime Organization, a United Nations agency that issues international standards for shipping.

*Intermediate survey.* The inspection of a vessel by a classification society surveyor that takes place 24 to 36 months after each "special survey."

*Megawatts.* A unit of energy generated by power assets.

*Newbuilding.* A new ship under construction or just completed.

*Off-charter.* The period in which a vessel is not in service under a time charter and, accordingly, we do not receive hire.

*Off-hire.* The period in which a vessel is not available for service under a time charter and, accordingly, the charterer generally is not required to pay the hire rate. Off-hire periods can include days spent on repairs, dry-docking and surveys, whether or not scheduled. For all other assets, the period in which the asset is not available for service under a lease agreement.

*On-hire.* The period in which an asset is available for service under a lease agreement.

*Protection and indemnity insurance.* Insurance obtained through a mutual association formed by shipowners to provide liability indemnification protection from various liabilities to which they are exposed in the course of their business, and which spreads the liability costs of each member by requiring contribution by all members in the event of a loss.

*Scrapping.* The sale of a ship as scrap metal.

*Ship operating expense.* The costs of operating a vessel, primarily consisting of crew wages and associated costs, insurance premiums, management fee, lubricants and spare parts, and repair and maintenance costs. Ship operating expenses exclude fuel cost, port expenses, agents' fees, canal dues and extra war risk insurance, as well as commissions, which are included in "voyage expenses."

*Special survey.* The inspection of a vessel by a classification society surveyor that takes place every five years, as part of the recertification of the vessel by a classification society.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**D.Risk Factors**

Some of the following risks relate principally to our businesses and our business strategy. Other risks relate principally to regulation, our indebtedness and to ownership of our securities. The occurrence of any of the events described in this section could significantly and negatively affect our business, financial condition, operating results, ability to pay dividends on our shares, ability to redeem our preferred shares or the trading price of our shares.

**Summary of Risk Factors**

The following is a summary of some of the principal risks we face. The list below is not exhaustive, and investors should read this "Risk Factors" section in full.

*Risk relating to our business as a whole*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We expect acquisitions of new assets and lines of business to be a significant part of our growth strategy. Our acquisition will involve numerous risks and if we are unable to identify suitable acquisition candidates or successfully integrate the businesses or assets we acquire, our growth strategy may not succeed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We depend on our key personnel and changes in our management team may adversely affect our operations.

*Risks related to the Pending Merger*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Merger Agreement is subject to a number of closing conditions, some of which are outside of our control, and, if these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Merger Agreement may be terminated and the Merger may not be consummated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We will incur significant transaction and merger-related costs in connection with the Merger, which may be in excess of those anticipated by us.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We will be subject to business uncertainties while the Merger is pending, which could adversely affect our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Until the consummation of the Merger or the termination of the Merger Agreement, we are prohibited from entering into certain transactions and taking certain actions without the consent of Poseidon Acquisition Corp. ("Poseidon"), some of which might otherwise be beneficial to the Company and its shareholders.

*Risks related to our containership business*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We derive our charter revenue from a limited number of customers, and the loss of any one customer or the long-term charters we have with them, further increases in the number of vessels on short-term charter or any material decrease in payments under our customer contracts could materially harm our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* The profitability and growth of our containership business is subject to world and regional demand for containership chartering, which is impacted by factors outside our control, including developments in international trade, regulatory developments, geopolitical conflicts and pandemics.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If a more active short-term or spot containership market develops, we may have more difficulty entering into long-term, fixed-rate time charters and our existing customers may begin to pressure us to reduce charter rates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The business and activity levels of our charterers, shipbuilders and third parties with which we do business and their respective abilities to fulfill their obligations under agreements with us may be hindered by any deterioration in the shipping industry, credit markets or other negative developments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We will be required to make substantial capital expenditures to acquire additional containerships, which may increase financial leverage, dilute our equity holders' interests or decrease our ability to redeem or pay

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

dividends on our preferred shares. Delays in deliveries of our newbuild containerships could materially harm our business and, results of operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may be unable to attract and retain qualified, skilled crew necessary to operate our vessels.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We must make substantial capital expenditures over the long-term to preserve the operating capacity of our fleet, and such expenditures are likely to increase as our fleet ages.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our business may continue to be negatively impacted by heightened inflation.

*Risks related to our power generation business*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our competitive position, revenues and asset values could be adversely affected by changes in technology, prices, industry standards, environmental regulation and other factors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The delivery of our power generation solutions to our customers and our performance under our customer contracts may be adversely affected by problems related to our reliance on third-party contractors and suppliers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If we fail to maintain safe work environments at our power plants or cause any damage, we could be exposed to significant financial losses, as well as civil and criminal liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Unauthorized use of our proprietary technology by third parties may reduce the value of our power generation services and brand, and impair our ability to compete effectively.

*Legal, regulatory and litigation risks*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We are subject to potential claims and litigation from customers, suppliers, and third parties. We may also bring litigation against others. Such disputes can be costly, time-consuming and result in adverse outcomes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Failure to comply with applicable anti-bribery and corruption or economic sanctions and trade embargo laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our business is subject to extensive governmental regulation, including environmental, in a number of different jurisdictions, and our inability to comply with applicable regulations or requirements may have a negative impact on our business. We are also exposed to risks more prevalent in emerging markets and in China.

*Risks related to tax*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We intend that our business be conducted and operated in a manner that minimizes income taxes imposed upon us; however, there is a risk that we will be subject to additional income tax in one or more jurisdictions.

*Risks related to our status as a non-U.S. company*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Because Atlas and Seaspan are organized under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (which does not have a well-developed body of corporate law), and our principal executive offices and most of our assets are located outside the United States, it may be difficult to serve us with legal process and enforce judgments against Atlas, Seaspan or their respective directors or management, and the applicable law and outcome of any bankruptcy proceedings may be difficult to predict.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Atlas is a "foreign private issuer" under the NYSE rules and as such, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE corporate governance requirements.

*Risks related to financing and indebtedness*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We have substantial debt, which may limit our flexibility to pursue other business opportunities. We may not have sufficient cash flow from operations or otherwise to timely pay, or to refinance, amounts owed under such debt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Disruptions in global capital markets and economic conditions or changes in lending practices may harm our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, which could hinder or prevent us from meeting our capital needs. Exposure to interest rate fluctuations may result in fluctuations in our results of operations and financial condition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Charterparty-related defaults under certain of our secured credit facilities and vessel lease and other financing arrangements could permit the counterparties thereto to accelerate our obligations and terminate such facilities or leases, which could materially adversely affect our financial condition.

*Risks related to an investment in our securities*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Fairfax has significant influence over our policies and business.

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may not have sufficient cash from our operations to pay dividends on our shares or redeem our preferred shares. The amount of cash we use to declare dividends and redeem our preferred shares is also subject to the discretion of our directors and the requirements of Marshall Islands law, among other factors.

*General risk factors*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Disruptions and security threats to our technology systems could negatively impact our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected our business, and may continue to do so in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The ongoing Russia-Ukraine Conflict has adversely affected our business, results of operations and financial condition, and may continue to do so in the future.

**Risks related to our business as a whole**

***Acquisitions of new assets and lines of business have formed a significant part of our growth strategy in the past and are expected to continue to do so. If we are unable to identify suitable acquisition candidates or successfully integrate the businesses or assets we acquire, our growth strategy may not succeed.***

We intend to seek acquisition opportunities both to expand into new lines of business and to enhance our position in our existing lines of business. This may entail the acquisition of new businesses, assets to contribute to our existing lines of business, including new or secondhand vessels and power generation assets, or both. However, our ability to do so will depend on a number of factors, including our ability to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• obtain debt or equity financing that we may need to complete proposed acquisitions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• identify suitable acquisition candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• negotiate appropriate acquisition terms; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• complete the proposed acquisitions.

If we fail to achieve any of these steps, our growth strategy may not be successful, which could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including risks related to integration, and we may not realize the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions. Acquisitions may also result in significant integration costs and expose us to significant unanticipated liabilities.***

Acquisitions involve numerous risks, potential difficulties in the assimilation of the operations, systems, controls, technologies, personnel, services and products of an acquired company, the potential loss of key employees, customers and distributors of an acquired company and the diversion of our management's attention from other business concerns. We may not accurately anticipate all of the changing demands that any future acquisition may impose on our management, our operational and management information systems and our financial systems. The failure to successfully integrate acquired businesses or assets in a timely manner, or at all, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the anticipated benefits of an acquisition may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than we expect. For example, in connection with our acquisition of APR Energy in 2020, we have been required to record non-cash impairment charges related to goodwill, as a result of strategic repositioning contemplated subsequent to the acquisition. Integration efforts associated with our acquisitions may require significant capital and operating expense. Such expenses may include information technology integration fees, legal compliance costs, facility closure costs and other restructuring expenses. Significant unanticipated expenses associated with integration activities may materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we are not able to realize the anticipated benefits and synergies expected from our acquisitions within a reasonable time, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

We may underestimate or fail to discover liabilities relating to acquisitions during our due diligence investigations, and we, as the successor owner of an acquired company, might be responsible for those liabilities. Such liabilities could include employment, retirement or severance-related obligations under applicable law or other benefits arrangements, legal claims, tax liabilities, warranty or similar liabilities to customers, product liabilities and personal injury claims, claims related to infringement of third party intellectual property rights, environmental liabilities and claims by or amounts owed to vendors or other third parties. The indemnification and warranty provisions in our acquisition agreements may not fully protect us from the impact of undiscovered liabilities. Indemnities or warranties are often limited in scope, amount or duration, and may not fully cover the liabilities for which they were intended. The liabilities that are not covered by the limited indemnities or warranties could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

***We depend on our key personnel and changes in our management team may adversely affect our operations.***

Over the last several years, we have experienced significant turnover and repeated changes in our senior management, as well as in the senior management of our two wholly owned subsidiaries, Seaspan and APR Energy. While we expect to engage in an orderly transition process as we integrate newly appointed personnel, we face a variety of risks and uncertainties relating to this transition, including diversion of management attention from business concerns, loss of institutional knowledge and failure to retain other key personnel. These risks and uncertainties could result in operational and administrative inefficiencies and added costs, which could adversely impact our business and results of operations.

Our future success depends to a significant extent upon our ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain key personnel, including our senior management and skilled employees. Competition for highly qualified professionals is intense. If key employees depart, it could prevent or delay the implementation and completion of our strategic objectives, divert management's attention or adversely affect our ability to manage our business effectively and, as a result, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

**Risks related to the Pending Merger**

***The Merger Agreement is subject to a number of closing conditions, some of which are outside of the parties' control, and, if these conditions are not satisfied, the Merger Agreement may be terminated and the Merger may not be consummated.***

The obligations of each of the parties to consummate the Merger are conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions. These conditions include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) the receipt of specified regulatory approvals as well as the expiration or termination of any timing agreement with a Governmental Authority (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (b) the absence of any judgment, order, law or action prohibiting, preventing, rendering illegal or enjoining the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (c) the obtaining of certain specified third-party consents, clearances, authorizations, approvals or waivers (including in connection with certain financing arrangements), other than to the extent that any such consents, clearances, authorizations, approvals or waivers are obviated by other actions taken by us in compliance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

One of the required consents, clearances, authorizations or approvals is from investors with respect to the 2026 NOK Bonds, and in December 2022, Seaspan withdrew its proposal for certain amendments to the terms of the 2026 NOK Bonds that were intended to satisfy this closing condition with respect to the 2026 NOK Bonds. We are considering the method for financing any redemptions of the 2026 NOK Bonds that may occur after the consummation of the Merger, which could require a consent from Poseidon. We currently expect that, if requested, we will obtain Poseidon's consent to such financing. If the condition is not satisfied, Poseidon will have the right to terminate the Merger Agreement.

The required satisfaction (or waiver) of the foregoing conditions could delay the completion of the Merger for a significant period of time or prevent it from occurring. Any delay in completing the Merger could result in the holders of our common shares not receiving the Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement). Further, there can be no assurance that the conditions to the closing of the Merger will be satisfied or waived or that the Merger will be completed. Any failure to close the Merger could result in a material adverse effect on the trading price of our common shares or our business and prospects.

In addition, if the Merger has not been consummated on or before June 30, 2023, either we or Poseidon may choose to terminate the Merger Agreement; provided, that this June 30, 2023 termination date will automatically be extended by 60 days under certain circumstances. Either party may also elect to terminate the Merger Agreement in certain other circumstances, and the parties can mutually decide to terminate the Merger Agreement at any time prior to the closing of the Merger.

***We will incur substantial transaction and merger-related costs in connection with the Merger, which may be in excess of those anticipated by us.***

We have incurred, and will continue to incur, substantial transaction expenses in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, regardless of whether the Merger is consummated. These include our costs to obtain specified approvals and consents, including with respect to certain of our indebtedness facilities, subject to certain limitations. Furthermore, we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on the trading price of our common shares, or negative reactions from our customers or other business partners, should the Merger not be consummated.

We could also be subject to litigation related to any failure to consummate the Merger or any related action that could be brought to enforce a party's obligations under the Merger Agreement. If such a lawsuit or other proceeding is commenced and if in any such litigation or proceeding a plaintiff is successful in obtaining a restraining order or injunction prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, then the consummation of the Merger may be delayed or may never occur.

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

Even if the Merger is permitted to occur, the parties may be required to pay damages, fees or expenses in respect of claims related to the Merger Agreement or the Merger.

The foregoing risks, or other risks arising in connection with any failure to consummate the Merger, including the diversion of management attention from conducting our business and pursuing other opportunities during the pendency of the Merger, may have an adverse effect on our business, operations, financial results and our common share price.

***We will be subject to business uncertainties while the Merger is pending, which could adversely affect our business.***

Uncertainty about the effect of the pending Merger on our employees, industry contacts and business partners may have an adverse effect on us. For example, employee retention may be particularly challenging during the pendency of the Merger, as employees may feel uncertain about their future roles with the Company. If key management, technical or other employees depart because of issues relating to this uncertainty, we could experience adverse disruption in our business.

In addition, it is possible that some customers, suppliers and other persons with whom we have business relationships may delay or defer certain business decisions or might decide to seek to terminate, change or renegotiate their relationship with us, which could negatively affect our business and operations, as well as the trading price of our common shares, regardless of whether the Merger is consummated

***Until the consummation of the Merger or the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, we are prohibited from entering into certain transactions and taking certain actions without the consent of Poseidon, some of which might otherwise be beneficial to us and our shareholders.***

Until the effective time of the Merger or the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Merger Agreement restricts us from taking specified actions without the consent of Poseidon, and requires us to use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve in all material respects our relationships with any customers, suppliers and any other persons with which we have material business relations. These restrictions may limit our ability to make appropriate business changes, respond effectively to competitive pressures and industry developments or pursue attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the consummation of the Merger.

**Risks related to our containership business**

***We derive our charter revenue from a limited number of customers. The loss of any one customer or our long-term charters that we have with them, further increases in the number of vessels on short-term charter or any material decrease in payments under our customer contracts could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.***

As of December 31, 2022, we had eight customers. The following table shows the number of vessels in our operating fleet as at December 31, 2022 that were chartered to such customers and the percentage of our consolidated revenue attributable to the charters with such customers for the year ended December 31, 2022:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Customer** | **Number of Vessels in our<br>Operating Fleet Chartered<br>to Such Customer** | **Percentage of Total Revenue for the Year Ended<br>December 31, 2022** |
| CMA CGM | 14 | 11.0% |
| COSCO | 25 | 29.9% |
| Hapag-Lloyd | 15 | 9.4% |
| Maersk | 19 | 8.8% |
| MSC | 11 | 4.5% |
| ONE | 26 | 16.3% |
| Yang Ming Marine | 15 | 15.7% |
| ZIM<sup>(1)</sup> | 7 | 4.4% |
|  | 132 | 100.0% |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup>As at December 31, 2022, Seaspan had entered into an agreement to sell a 4,250 TEU vessel, subject to closing conditions. The vessel is on charter to ZIM and the sale closed in January 2023. The vessel is classified as asset held for sale as at December 31, 2022. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Under some circumstances, we could lose a time charter or payments under the charter if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the customer fails to make charter payments because of financial inability or distress, disagreements with us, defaults on a payment or otherwise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• at the time of delivery, the vessel subject to the time charter differs in its specifications from those agreed upon under the shipbuilding contract; or

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the customer exercises certain limited rights to terminate the charter, including (1) if the ship fails to meet certain guaranteed speed and fuel consumption requirements and we are unable to rectify the situation or otherwise reach a mutually acceptable settlement and (2) under some charters if the vessel is off-hire or unavailable for operation for certain reasons for a specified period of time or if delivery of a newbuilding vessel is delayed for a prolonged period of time.

The majority of our vessels are chartered under long-term charters, and customer payments are the source of nearly all of our operating cash flow. An over-supply of containership capacity and low freight rates have resulted in liner companies (including some of our customers) incurring losses in past business cycles. A reduction in cash flow resulting from low freight rates, a reduction in borrowing bases under reserve-based credit facilities, a limited or lack of availability of debt or equity financing, or a combination of such events, may reduce the ability of our customers to make charter payments to us. For example, in 2016, Hanjin Shipping terminated the charters for seven of our vessels after it filed for bankruptcy, resulting in lost revenues due to off-hire. If we lose one of our large liner customers due to financial distress, bankruptcy or certain other events, such circumstance could likely lead to significant reductions in our revenues, commercial disputes, receivable collection issues, and other negative consequences that could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Further, as liner companies (including our existing customers) consolidate through merger, joint ventures or alliances, our risk relative to the concentration of our customers may increase and they may also seek to renegotiate the rates payable for the remaining terms of their charters. The loss of any of these long-term charters, further increases in the number of vessels on short-term charters or any material decrease in payments under our customer contracts could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***A decrease in the export of goods from the regions served by our customers, including that caused by the maintenance or escalation of trade protectionism, could materially harm our business.***

Governments have used, and may continue to use, trade barriers in order to protect their domestic industries against foreign imports, or for other purposes. Most of our containership customers' business revenue is derived from the shipment of goods from the Asia Pacific region, primarily China. In recent years, increased trade protectionism affecting China, as well as other markets our customers serve, has caused increases in the cost of goods exported, the length of time required to deliver goods and the risks associated with exporting goods as well as a decrease in the quantity of goods shipped.

China's import and export of goods may continue to be negatively affected by trade protectionism, specifically the ongoing U.S.-China trade dispute, which has been characterized by escalating tariffs between the U.S. and China, and has also impacted trade relations among other countries. While a trade agreement was reached between China and the U.S. in January 2020 aimed at easing the dispute, there can be no assurance that there will not be any further escalation.

In addition, the Chinese government has implemented economic policies aimed at increasing domestic consumption of Chinese-made goods, which may have the effect of reducing the supply of goods available for export and may, in turn, result in decreased demand for cargo shipping.

A general economic downturn, either globally or affecting the Asia Pacific region, Europe, or the United States specifically, could also have the effect of reducing the supply of Chinese-made goods available for export or the demand for such goods.

Any reduction in or hindrance to the output of China-based exporters, whether the result of tariffs, other government policies, or other factors, could negatively our customers' business, and in turn could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

On January 31, 2020, following an affirmative vote by national referendum, the United Kingdom (the "U.K.") withdrew from the European Union (the "EU"), an event commonly referred to as "Brexit." In December 2020, the EU and the U.K. agreed a trade deal, which went into effect on January 1, 2021. While the trade agreement provides for tariff-free trade in goods and limited mutual market access in services, some specifics of the deal related to financial services have not been agreed upon. Additionally, the end of free movement could significantly disrupt the exchange of people and services between the U.K. and the EU, resulting in the imposition of impediments to trade.

Any increased trade barriers or restrictions on global trade resulting from Brexit could harm our customers' business and in turn could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***The profitability and growth of our containership business is subject to world and regional demand for containership chartering.***

The container shipping industry is both dynamic and volatile in terms of charter hire rates and profitability. Containership charter rates have fluctuated significantly in the past and are expected to continue to fluctuate in the future.

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

Fluctuations in containership charter rates result from changes in the supply and demand for vessel capacity, which are driven by global fleet capacity and utilization and changes in the supply and demand for the major products internationally transported by containerships. The factors affecting the supply and demand for containerships are outside of our control, and the nature, timing and degree of changes in industry conditions are largely unpredictable.

Factors that influence demand for containership capacity include, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• supply and demand for products suitable for shipping in containers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in global production of products transported by containerships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• seaborne and other transportation patterns, including the distances over which container cargoes are transported;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• global and regional economic and political conditions, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine Conflict;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• developments in international trade; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• environmental and other regulatory developments.

Factors that influence the supply of containership capacity include, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the number of vessels that are out of service;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the number of newbuilding orders and deliveries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the extent of newbuilding vessel deferrals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the scrapping rate of containerships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• newbuilding prices and access to capital;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• charter rates and the price of steel and other raw materials;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in environmental and other regulations that may limit the useful life of containerships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the number of containerships that are slow-steaming or extra slow-steaming to conserve fuel; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• port and canal infrastructure and congestion.

Our ability to recharter our containerships upon the expiration or termination of their current time charters and the charter rates under any renewal or replacement charters will depend upon, among other things, the then current state of the containership market. If charter rates are low when our existing time charters expire, we may not be able to recharter our vessels at profitable rates or at all, which could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***Containership values and charter rates may fluctuate substantially over time.***

Containership values can fluctuate substantially over time due to a number of different factors, including, but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• prevailing economic conditions in the market in which the containership trades;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a substantial or extended decline in world trade;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increases or decreases in containership capacity; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the cost of retrofitting or modifying existing ships, as a result of technological advances in vessel design or equipment, changes in applicable environmental or other regulations or standards, or otherwise.

If a charter terminates, we may be unable to re-deploy the vessel at attractive rates, or at all, and rather than continue to incur costs to maintain and finance the vessel, may seek to dispose of it. Our inability to dispose of the containership at a reasonable price, or at all, could result in a loss on its sale. As of December 31, 2022, we have two vessels coming off charter in 2023. For our vessels that are or will be off-charter, there is no assurance that replacement charters will be secured and if secured, at what rates or for what duration. If replacement charters are not secured on satisfactory terms, it could materially harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay dividends on our equity securities.

***If a more active short-term or spot containership market develops, we may have more difficulty entering into long-term, fixed-rate time charters and our existing customers may begin to pressure us to reduce charter rates.***

One of the principal strategies of our containership business is to enter into long-term, fixed-rate time charters. As more vessels become available for the short-term or spot market, we may have difficulty entering into additional long-term,

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

fixed-rate time charters for our vessels due to the increased supply of vessels. As a result, our cash flow may be subject to instability in the long-term.

A more active short-term or spot containership market may require us to enter into charters based on changing market prices, as opposed to contracts based on a long-term, fixed-rate, which could result in a decrease in our cash flow in periods when the market price for containerships is depressed or insufficient funds are available to cover our financing costs for related vessels. In addition, the development of an active short-term or spot containership market could affect rates under our existing time charters as our current customers may begin to pressure us to reduce our rates. Besides the risk of charter rate fluctuations, there is also the inherent risks of lost revenue due to idling vessels and/or additional mobilization costs in between short-term charters. This variability in our cash flow and earnings could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***The business and activity levels of shipbuilders and other third parties with which we do business, and their respective abilities to fulfill their obligations under agreements with us, may be hindered by any deterioration in the shipping industry, credit markets or other negative developments.***

Shipbuilders that we engage to construct newbuild vessels may be affected by future instability of the financial markets and other market conditions or developments, including the fluctuating price of commodities and currency exchange rates and global disruptions to markets, supply chains and shipbuilders' operations, such as those caused by COVID-19 and the current Russia-Ukraine Conflict. In addition, the refund guarantors under shipbuilding contracts (which are banks, financial institutions and other credit agencies that guarantee, under certain circumstances, the repayment of installment payments we make to the shipbuilders) may also be negatively affected by adverse market conditions and, as a result, may be unable or unwilling to meet their obligations due to their own financial condition. If our shipbuilders or refund guarantors are unable or unwilling to meet their obligations to us, this could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***Damage to our reputation or industry relationships within the containership industry could harm our business.***

Our operational success and our ability to grow within the containership industry depends significantly upon our performance of technical services (including vessel maintenance, crewing, purchasing, shipyard supervision, insurance, assistance with regulatory compliance and financial services). Our business will be harmed if we fail to perform these services. For example, a vessel could go off hire, which could in turn impact our customers' ability to perform their contractual obligations to cargo interests or other third parties. Our ability to compete for and to enter into new charters and expand our relationships with our customers depends upon our reputation and relationships in the shipping industry. If we suffer material damage to our reputation or relationships, it may harm our ability to, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• renew existing charters upon their expiration;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• obtain new charters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• successfully interact with shipyards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• dispose of vessels on commercially acceptable terms;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• obtain financing on commercially acceptable terms;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintain satisfactory relationships with our customers and suppliers; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• grow our business.

If our ability to do any of the things described above is impaired, it could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

***The containership industry is highly competitive, and we may not be able to expand relationships with existing customers, establish relationships with new customers and obtain new time charters.***

The process of obtaining new time charters is highly competitive and generally involves an intensive screening process and competitive bids, and often extends for several months in regard to newbuilding containerships. Containership charters are awarded based upon a variety of factors relating to the vessel operator, including, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• shipping industry relationships and reputation for customer service and safety;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• container shipping experience and quality of ship operations, including cost effectiveness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• quality and experience of seafaring crew;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability to finance containerships at competitive rates and the shipowner's financial stability generally;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• relationships with shipyards and the ability to get suitable berths when needed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• construction management experience, including the ability to obtain on-time delivery of new ships according to customer specifications;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• willingness to accept operational risks pursuant to the charter, such as allowing termination of the charter for force majeure events; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• competitiveness of the bid in terms of overall price.

Competition for providing new containerships for chartering purposes comes from a number of experienced shipping companies, including direct competition from other independent charter owners and indirect competition from state-sponsored and other major entities with their own or leased fleets. Some of our peers have significantly greater financial resources than we do and may be able to offer better charter rates. Some of our peers have entered into joint ventures to charter their containerships, and may be able to better satisfy customer demands. An increasing number of marine transportation companies have entered the containership sector, including many with strong brand recognition and extensive resources and experience in the marine transportation industry. This increased competition may cause greater price competition for time charters. As a result of these factors, we may be unable to expand our relationships with existing customers or develop relationships with new customers in order to secure charters on a profitable basis, if at all, which could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. These risks will be heightened to the extent that we enter into newbuilding or other vessel acquisition contracts prior to entering into charters for such vessels.

***We will be required to make substantial capital expenditures to complete the acquisition of our newbuilding containerships and any additional vessels we acquire in the future, which may result in increased financial leverage or dilution of our equity holders' interests or decreased ability to redeem our preferred shares.***

As at December 31, 2022, we had contracted to purchase 58 newbuild containerships with scheduled delivery dates through 2024. The total purchase price of the 58 containerships is estimated to be approximately $6.1 billion and while we have secured financing for all such acquisitions, not all of these financings are available prior to delivery. Further, we may add to our newbuild program. The acquisition of additional newbuild or existing containerships or businesses will require significant additional capital expenditures.

To fund existing and future capital expenditures, we intend to use cash from operations, incur borrowings, draw on existing sale-leaseback or other financing arrangements, or use a combination of these methods. Use of cash from operations may reduce cash available to pay dividends to our shareholders, including holders of our preferred shares, or to redeem our preferred shares. Incurring additional debt may significantly increase our interest expense and financial leverage, and under certain of our debt facilities there are maximum loan to value ratios at time of advance that may restrict our ability to borrow. Our ability to obtain or access bank financing for future debt may be limited by our financial condition at the time of any such financing and covenants in our credit facilities, as well as by adverse market conditions. To the extent that we enter into newbuilding or other vessel acquisition contracts prior to entering into charters for such vessels, our ability to obtain new financing for such vessels may be limited and we may be required to fund all or a portion of the cost of such acquisitions with our existing capital resources. Our failure to obtain funds for our capital expenditures at attractive rates, if at all, could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***Delays in deliveries of our newbuilding containerships could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.***

The delivery of the containerships we have ordered, or any other containerships we may order, could be delayed, which would delay our receipt of revenue under the charters for the containerships and, if the delay is prolonged, could permit our customers to terminate the newbuilding containership charter. The occurrence of any of such events could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

The delivery of the containerships could be delayed because of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• work stoppages or other labor disturbances that disrupt any of the shipyards' operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• quality or engineering problems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in governmental regulations or maritime self-regulatory organization standards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• bankruptcy or other financial crisis of any of the shipyards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a backlog of orders at any of the shipyards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• hostilities, or political or economic disturbances in South Korea or China, where the containerships are being built;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• weather interference or catastrophic event, such as a major earthquake, fire or tsunami;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• disruptions due to an outbreak of disease, including COVID-19;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our requests for changes to the original containership specifications;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• shortages of or delays in the receipt of necessary construction materials, such as steel, or key parts that are supplied by third parties to the shipyard, such as engines;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our inability to obtain requisite permits or approvals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a dispute with any of the shipyards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our failure to obtain financing for the vessels, or any failure of our banks to provide debt financing; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a disruption to the financial markets.

In addition, each of the shipbuilding contracts for our newbuilding containerships contains "force majeure" provisions whereby the occurrence of certain events could delay delivery or possibly result in termination of the contract. If delivery of a containership is materially delayed or if a shipbuilding contract is terminated, it could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***Because each existing and newbuilding vessel in our contracted fleet is or will be built in accordance with standard designs and uniform in all material respects to other vessels in its class, any material design defect likely will affect all vessels in such class.***

Each existing and newbuilding vessel in our fleet is built, or will be built, in accordance with standard designs and uniform in all material respects to other vessels in its class. As a result, any latent design defect discovered in one of our vessels will likely affect all of our other vessels in that class. For certain newbuild vessels, including the two 24,000 TEU class containerships and the LNG dual fuel containerships, this is the first time we are commissioning vessels of this size or specification, and therefore may be more susceptible to additional design and operational challenges. Any disruptions in the operation of our vessels resulting from these defects, and particularly if such disruptions would constitute grounds for a customer to cancel or terminate a charter, could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***Excess supply of global containership capacity may limit our ability to operate our vessels profitably.***

While the size of the containership order book has declined from the historic highs reached in mid-2008, as of February 1, 2023, newbuilding containerships representing approximately 29.5% of the existing global fleet capacity as of that date were under construction. Notwithstanding that some orders may be cancelled or delayed, the size of the orderbook may result in an increase in the size of the world containership fleet over the next few years. If it does, it may lead to a reduction in charter rates or prolong the period during which low charter rates prevail, which in turn may mean that upon the expiration or termination of our containerships' current time charters, we may only be able to recharter our containerships at unprofitable rates, if at all. Until such capacity is fully absorbed by the container shipping market, the industry will continue to experience downward pressure on freight rates and such prolonged pressure could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

***We may be unable to attract and retain qualified, skilled crew necessary to operate our vessels or may pay rising crew and other vessel operating costs.***

Acquiring and renewing long-term time charters with leading liner companies depends on a number of factors, including our ability to man our containerships with suitably experienced, high-quality masters, officers and crews. Our success will depend in large part on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain highly skilled and qualified personnel. In recent years, the limited supply of and the increased demand for well-qualified crew, due to the increase in the size of the global shipping fleet, has created upward pressure on crewing costs, which we bear under our time charters. Changing

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

conditions in the home country of our seafarers, such as increases in the local general living standards, changes in taxation or military conflict such as the current Russia-Ukraine Conflict (Ukrainian seafarers representing approximately 13% of our 2,780 seafarers presently onboard our vessels), may make serving at sea less appealing or impossible and thus further reduce the supply of crew and/or increase the cost of hiring competent crew. The challenges experienced by seafarers and shipping companies during the COVID-19 pandemic have also led many seafarers to seek employment ashore. Unless we are able to increase our hire rates to compensate for increases in crew costs and other vessel operating costs such as insurance, repairs and maintenance, and lubricants, our business, results of operations, financial condition and our profitability may be adversely affected. In addition, any inability we experience in the future to attract, hire, train and retain a sufficient number of qualified employees could impair our ability to manage, maintain and grow our containership business. We have contracted to purchase 58 newbuild containerships, for which we will need to recruit approximately 1,700 crew. If we cannot attract and retain sufficient numbers of quality onboard seafaring personnel, our fleet utilization will decrease, which could also have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as our cash flows, including cash available for dividends to our stockholders.

***Increased technological innovation in competing vessels could reduce our charter hire rates and the value of our vessels.***

The charter rates and the value and operational life of a vessel are determined by a number of factors, including the vessel's efficiency, operational flexibility and physical life. Efficiency includes speed, fuel economy and the ability to be loaded and unloaded quickly. Flexibility includes the ability to enter harbors, utilize related docking facilities and pass through canals and straits. Physical life is related to the original design and construction, maintenance and the impact of the stress of operations. If new ship designs currently promoted by shipyards as being more fuel efficient perform as promoted, or if new containerships are built in the future that are more efficient or flexible or have longer physical lives than our vessels, competition from these more technologically advanced containerships could adversely affect the amount of charter hire payments we receive for our vessels once their initial charters end and the resale value of our vessels. As a result, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially harmed.

***Risks inherent in the operation of ocean-going vessels could materially harm our reputation, business, results of operation and financial condition.***

The operation of ocean-going vessels carries inherent risks, including dangers associated with potential marine disasters, environmental accidents, collisions, cargo and property losses or damage, and business interruptions caused by mechanical failure, human error, war, terrorism, political action in various countries, labor strikes or adverse weather conditions. Such occurrences could result in death or injury to persons, loss of property or environmental damage, delays in the delivery of cargo, loss of revenue from or termination of charter contracts, governmental fines, penalties or restrictions on conducting business, higher insurance rates, and damage to our reputation and customer relationships generally. The involvement of our vessels in an environmental disaster could harm our reputation as a safe and reliable vessel owner and operator. Any of these circumstances or events could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Piracy is an inherent risk in the operation of ocean-going vessels and has historically affected vessels trading in certain regions of the world. We may not be adequately insured to cover losses from these incidents, which could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, crew costs, including for employing onboard security guards, could increase in such circumstances. Any of these events, or the loss of use of a vessel due to piracy, may harm our customers, impairing their ability to make payments to us under our charters, which could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We expect that our vessels will call in ports in South America and other areas where smugglers attempt to hide drugs and other contraband on vessels, with or without the knowledge of crew members. To the extent our vessels are found with contraband, whether inside or attached to the hull of our vessel and whether with or without the knowledge of any of our crew, we may face governmental or other regulatory claims, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We maintain insurance for our fleet against risks commonly insured against by vessel owners and operators, including hull and machinery insurance, war risks insurance and protection and indemnity insurance (which includes environmental damage and pollution insurance). Although we seek to obtain appropriate insurance coverage, we cannot guarantee that such insurance coverage is, or will be, sufficient to cover all of the possible losses that would normally be covered by such policies. If we were to incur a serious uninsured loss, the resulting costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, we do not carry loss-of-hire insurance, which covers the loss of revenue during extended vessel off-hire periods, such as those that occur during an unscheduled dry-docking due to damage to the vessel from accidents. Accordingly, any loss of a vessel or extended vessel off-hire, due to an accident or otherwise, could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

***Over the long-term, we will be required to make substantial capital expenditures to preserve the operating capacity of our fleet.***

We must make substantial capital expenditures over the long-term to preserve the operating capacity of our fleet, including to, among other things, meet future environmental regulatory standards. If we do not retain funds in our business in amounts necessary to preserve the operating capacity of our fleet, over the long-term, our fleet and related charter revenues may diminish, and we will not be able to continue to refinance our indebtedness. As our fleet ages, we will likely need to retain additional funds, on an annual basis, to provide reasonable assurance of maintaining the operating capacity of our fleet over the long-term. To the extent we use or retain available funds to make capital expenditures to preserve the operating capacity of our fleet, there will be less funds available to pay interest and principal on our Notes, pay dividends on our equity securities or redeem our preferred shares.

***The aging of our fleet may result in increased operating costs in the future, which could adversely affect our earnings.***

In general, the cost of maintaining a vessel in good operating condition increases with the age of the vessel. Our current operating fleet of 132 containerships as of March 1, 2023, had an average age (weighted by TEU capacity) of eight years. As our fleet ages, we may incur increased costs. Older vessels may require longer and more extensive dry-dockings, resulting in more off-hire days and reduced revenue. Older vessels are typically less fuel efficient and more costly to maintain than more recently constructed vessels due to improvements in engine technology. In addition, older vessels are often less desirable to charterers. Governmental regulations, including emissions reductions initiatives, and safety or other equipment standards related to the age of a vessel may also require expenditures for alterations or the addition of new equipment to our vessels and may restrict the type of activities in which our containerships may engage.

We cannot assure you that, as our vessels age and environmental regulations continue to tighten, market conditions will justify such expenditures or will enable us to profitably operate our older vessels.

***Our vessels' mortgagees or other maritime claimants could arrest our vessels, which could interrupt our charterers' or our cash flow.***

If we default under our credit facilities that are secured by mortgages on our vessels, the lenders that hold those mortgages could arrest some or all of the vessels encumbered by those mortgages and cause them to be sold. We would not receive any proceeds of such sales unless all amounts outstanding under such indebtedness had been repaid in full. In addition, crew members, suppliers of goods and services to a vessel, shippers of cargo and other parties may be entitled to a maritime lien against the applicable vessel for unsatisfied debts, claims or damages. In many jurisdictions, a maritime lienholder may enforce its lien by arresting a vessel through foreclosure proceedings. In addition, in some jurisdictions, such as South Africa, under the "sister ship" theory of liability, a claimant may arrest both the vessel that is subject to the claimant's maritime lien and any "associated" vessel, which is any vessel owned or controlled by the same owner. Claimants could try to assert "sister ship" liability against one vessel in our fleet for claims relating to another of our ships. The arrest or attachment of one or more of our vessels could interrupt our charterers' or our business and cash flow and require the charterers or us or our insurance to pay significant amounts to have the arrest lifted, which could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***Our business may continue to be negatively impacted by inflation***

Continued or increased inflation may have a negative impact on our business. Current and future inflationary effects may be driven by, among other things, the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions, governmental stimulus or fiscal policies and the Russia-Ukraine Conflict.

As a result of the heightened inflation experienced in 2022, we have incurred higher vessel operation expenses (including higher crewing cost and victualling budget) and higher cost of steel used for dry-docking. To curtail sustained levels of high inflation, the Federal Reserve in the United States and central banks in other countries have raised, and may continue to raise, interest rates, which in turn caused, and may continue to cause, the interest expenses on our debt to increase. In an inflationary environment, our cost of capital, labor and materials may increase further and the purchasing power of our cash resources may decline.

In addition, while we have engaged shipbuilders to construct newbuild vessels at predetermined prices, the businesses of our shipbuilders have also been adversely impacted by heightened inflation. This has resulted in and may continue to result in renegotiations for additional costs for the construction of our newbuild vessels. If our shipbuilders are unable or unwilling to meet their obligations to us, this could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

All of the above-mentioned factors have had and could continue to have a negative impact on our business, financial position, results of operations and profitability.

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

To the extent inflation adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this "Risk Factors" section.

**Risks related to our power generation business**

***Our competitive position, revenues and asset values could be adversely affected by changes in technology, prices, industry standards, environmental regulation and other factors.***

The markets in which we operate change rapidly because of technological innovations and changes in prices, industry standards, environmental and other regulations, customer requirements (including demand for more environmentally friendly solutions), product introductions and the economic environment. New technology or changes in industry, regulations and customer requirements may render our existing power generation solutions obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, we must continuously enhance the efficiency and reliability of our existing technologies and seek to develop new technologies to remain at the forefront of industry standards and customer requirements. If we are unable to introduce and integrate new technologies into our power generation solutions in a timely and cost-effective manner, our competitive position will suffer and our prospects for growth will be impaired.

Further, if technological advances render our existing power generation assets obsolete or otherwise unmarketable, competition from third parties offering more technologically advanced solutions could adversely affect our ability to extend or secure new power purchase contracts and the resale value of our assets. As a result, our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition could be materially harmed.

***The delivery of our power generation solutions to our customers and our performance under our customer contracts may be adversely affected by problems related to our reliance on third-party contractors and suppliers.***

Our customer contracts require services, equipment or software which we subcontract to or source from third parties. The delivery of products or services which are not in compliance with the requirements of the subcontract, or the late supply of products and services, can cause us to be in default under our customer contracts. To the extent we are not able to transfer all of the risk or be fully indemnified by third-party contractors and suppliers, we may be subject to claims by our customers as a result of problems caused by a third party that could have a material adverse impact on our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition.

***Power plants are inherently dangerous workplaces at which hazardous materials are handled. If we fail to maintain safe work environments or cause any damage, we could be exposed to significant financial losses, as well as civil and criminal liabilities.***

Our installation, construction, commissioning, operation, maintenance and dismantling activities in connection with the delivery of our power generation solutions to customers often put our employees and others in close proximity with large pieces of mechanized equipment, moving vehicles, manufacturing or industrial processes, high voltage electric current and heat or liquids stored under pressure. On most projects and at most facilities, we are responsible for safety and, accordingly, must implement safe practices and safety procedures. If we fail to design and implement such practices and procedures or if the practices and procedures we implement are ineffective, our employees and others may become injured and our and others' property may become damaged. Unsafe work sites also have the potential to increase employee turnover, increase the cost of a project to our customers or the operation of a facility, and raise our operating costs. Any of the foregoing could result in financial losses, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, our activities in connection with the delivery of our power generation solutions can involve the handling of hazardous and other highly regulated materials, which, if improperly handled or disposed of, could subject us to cleanup obligations as well as civil and criminal liabilities. We are also subject to regulations dealing with occupational health and safety. We maintain functional groups whose primary purpose is to ensure we implement effective health, safety and environmentally compliant work procedures throughout our organization, including construction sites and maintenance sites, the failure to comply with such regulations could subject us to liability. In addition, we may incur liability based on allegations of injury, illness or disease resulting from exposure of employees or other persons to hazardous materials that we handle or are present in our workplaces.

We believe that our safety record is critical to our reputation. Many of our customers require that we meet certain safety criteria to be eligible to bid for contracts, and certain contracts provide for automatic termination or forfeiture of some, or all, of its contract fees or profit in the event it fails to meet certain measures. As a result, our failure to maintain adequate safety standards could result in reduced profitability or the loss of projects or clients and could have a material adverse impact on our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

***Unauthorized use of our proprietary technology by third parties may reduce the value of our power generation services and brand, and impair our ability to compete effectively.***

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

Our power generation business relies on a combination of trade secret and intellectual property laws, non-disclosure and other contractual agreements and technical measures to protect our proprietary rights. These measures may not be sufficient to protect our technology from third-party infringement and, notwithstanding any remedies available, could subject us to increased competition or cause us to lose market share. In addition, these measures may not protect us from the claims of employees and other third parties. We also face risks with respect to the protection of our proprietary technology because the markets where our services are sold include jurisdictions that provide less protection for intellectual property than is provided under the laws of the United States or the European Union. Unauthorized use of our intellectual property could weaken our competitive position, reduce the value of our services and brand, and materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

**Legal, regulatory and litigation risks**

***We are subject to potential claims and litigation from customers, suppliers, and third parties. Alternatively, we may find it necessary to bring litigation against others. Litigation and other avenues of resolving claims, can be costly, time-consuming and result in adverse outcomes.***

The nature of our operations in both in the containership and energy generation businesses exposes us to potential liability claims and contract disputes, and we may, from time to time, be involved in various litigation matters.

Our power generation projects generally involve complex engineering, procurement and construction management. As such, claims involving customers, suppliers and subcontractors may be brought against us, and by us, in connection with our project contracts. Claims that may be brought against us include back charges for alleged defective or incomplete work, breaches of warranty and/or late completion of the project and claims for cancelled projects. The claims and back charges can involve actual damages, as well as contractually agreed upon liquidated sums. Claims brought by us against customers include claims for additional costs incurred in excess of current contract provisions arising out of project delays and changes in the previously agreed scope of work. Claims between us and our suppliers, subcontractors and vendors include any of those described above. These project claims, if not resolved through negotiation, are often subject to lengthy and expensive litigation or arbitration proceedings.

Additionally, we engage in operations where failures in design, construction or systems can result in substantial injury or damage to third parties. We have been, and may in the future, be named as a defendant in legal proceedings where parties may make a claim for damages or other remedies with respect to our projects or other matters.

These claims generally arise in the normal course of our business. When or if it is determined that we have liability for damages, we may not be covered by insurance or, if covered, the amount of these liabilities may exceed our policy limits.

We are also subject to the risk of adverse claims and litigation alleging our infringement of the intellectual property rights of others.

The resolution of claims, regardless of the merits or ultimate outcome, may entail significant costs and could divert management's attention from the operation of our business, which could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Failure to comply with applicable anti-bribery and corruption laws and regulations could result in fines and criminal penalties, terminations of charters, financing arrangements and other significant contracts, and a material adverse effect on our business.***

We operate in a number of countries throughout the world, including countries where there is an elevated risk of corruption. We are committed to doing business in accordance with applicable anti-bribery and corruption laws and have adopted a Standards of Business Conduct Policy which is consistent and in full compliance with the UK Bribery Act 2010 and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (the "FCPA"). We train our personnel concerning anti-bribery and corruption laws and issues, and also inform our partners, subcontractors, suppliers, agents and others who work for us or on our behalf that they must comply with anti-bribery and corruption law requirements. We are subject, however, to the risk that we, our affiliated entities or our or their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, or the third parties with which we do business, may take actions determined to be in violation of such anti-bribery and corruption laws, including the UK Bribery Act and FCPA. Any violation of anti-bribery and corruption laws and regulations could result in substantial fines, sanctions, civil and/or criminal penalties, as well as breaches of our material contracts, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, actual or alleged violations could damage our reputation and ability to do business. Furthermore, detecting, investigating, and resolving actual or alleged violations is expensive and can consume significant time and attention of our senior management.

***If we are found to be in violation of sanctions, there could be a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations, or the market for our common shares.***

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

By virtue of our listing on the New York Stock Exchange and our debt covenants, we are subject to U.S. and EU economic sanctions and trade embargo laws and regulations as well as equivalent economic sanctions laws of other relevant jurisdictions in connection with our activities. The laws and regulations of these different jurisdictions vary in their application and do not all apply to the same covered persons or proscribe the same activities. In addition, the sanctions and embargo laws and regulations of each jurisdiction may be amended to increase or reduce the restrictions they impose over time, and the lists of persons and entities designated under these laws and regulations are amended frequently. Moreover, most sanctions regimes provide that entities owned or controlled by the persons or entities designated in such lists are also subject to sanctions. The U.S. and EU have enacted new sanctions programs in recent years. Additional countries or territories, as well as additional persons or entities within or affiliated with those countries or territories, have been, and in the future, the target of sanctions. Further, the U.S. has increased its focus on sanctions enforcement with respect to the shipping sector. Any violation of sanctions and embargo laws and regulations could result in substantial sanctions and penalties and defaults under our financing and other material contracts, all of which would materially adversely effect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

As a result of Russian actions in the Russia-Ukraine Conflict, the U.S., EU and U.K., together with numerous other countries, have imposed significant sanctions on persons and entities associated with Russia and Belarus, as well as comprehensive sanctions on certain areas within the Donbas region of Ukraine, and such sanctions apply to entities owned or controlled by such designated persons or entities. These sanctions adversely affect our ability to trade to this region. Moreover, a significant number of our crew are Ukrainian. The ongoing situation in Russia-Ukraine Conflict and the sanctions being imposed may adversely affect our ability to hire and/or pay our crew for our vessels.

***We are subject to stringent environmental regulation that could require significant expenditures and affect our operations.***

Our business and operations are materially affected by environmental regulation in the form of international, national, state and local laws, regulations, conventions, treaties and standards in force in jurisdictions in which we do business, including those governing the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, the cleanup of oil spills and other contamination, air emissions, water discharges and, in respect of our vessels, ballast water management and vessel recycling. These regulations require us to obtain regulatory licenses, permits and other approvals and to comply with the requirements of such licenses, permits and other approvals, which can carry substantial costs. There can be no assurance that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• governmental authorities will approve the issuance of such licenses, permits and other approvals or that such licenses, permits or approvals will be timely renewed or sufficient for our operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in respect of our power generation business, public opposition will not result in delays, modifications to or cancellation of any proposed project or license; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• laws or regulations will not change or be interpreted in a manner that increases our costs of compliance or materially or adversely affects our operations or plants.

We can give no assurance that we will continue to be in compliance with such regulations or material liabilities and expenses associated with compliance issues in the future. Violation of such regulations may give rise to significant liability, including fines, damages, fees and expenses, as well as closures of our power plants, detention of our vessels or denial of access to ports. Generally, relevant governmental authorities are empowered to clean up and remediate releases of environmental damage and to charge the costs of such remediation and cleanup to the owners or occupiers of the property, the persons responsible for the release and environmental damage, the producer of the contaminant and other parties, or to direct the responsible parties to take such action. These governmental authorities may also impose a tax, financial assurance requirements or other liens on the responsible parties to secure the parties' reimbursement obligations. We could also become subject to personal injury or property damage claims relating to the release of hazardous materials associated with our operations.

Environmental regulation has changed rapidly in recent years, and it is possible that we will be subject to even more stringent environmental standards in the future. Such environmental standards may affect the resale value or useful lives of our assets, require modifications to our vessels or power generation assets or operational changes or restrictions, or lead to decreased availability of insurance coverage for environmental matters. We cannot predict the amounts of any increased capital expenditures or any increases in operating costs or other expenses that we may incur to comply with applicable environmental or other regulatory requirements. For additional information about the environmental regulations to which we are subject, please read "Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Environmental and Other Regulations".

***Climate change and greenhouse gas restrictions may adversely affect our operating results.***

Many governmental bodies have adopted, or are considering the adoption of treaties or national, state and local laws, regulations and frameworks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions due to concerns about climate change. The Paris Agreement, in which almost 200 countries pledged to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and set firm target reduction goals, was signed in 2016. Recently, the push for both governments and businesses to adopt zero net carbon targets has been reinvigorated, with the COP26 summit in November 2021 resulting in the Glasgow Climate Pact, pursuant to which over 140 countries pledged to reach net-zero carbon emissions. Additionally, more than 450 private firms, managing $130 trillion, approximately 40% of the world's financial assets, pledged to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, and to set interim goals for 2030. Compliance with laws, regulations and obligations relating to climate change, including those promulgated as a result of such international pledges and negotiations, as well as the efforts by non-governmental organizations and investors, could increase our costs related to operating and maintaining our assets, and require us to install new emission controls, acquire allowances or pay taxes related to our greenhouse gas emissions, or administer and manage a greenhouse gas emissions program. Revenue generation and strategic growth opportunities may also be adversely affected. For example, the IMO has introduced initiatives to reduce greenhouse emissions from the shipping industry with specified targets using the Energy Efficiency Existing Vessel Index ("EEXI") and a Carbon Intensity Indicator ("CII") . It could adversely affect us if we fail to adopt and implement EEXI and/or CII measures for our vessels. The European Union has also adopted a set of measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the shipping industry and is planning to including shipping in its Emission Trading Scheme ("ETS") which may require us to purchase carbon emission credits for voyages in and out of Europe. This may have a significant cost impact to us if our customers do not assume responsibility for these increased administrative and compliance costs once the proposals are enacted.

***Compliance with safety and other vessel requirements imposed by flag states may be costly and could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.***

The hull and machinery of every commercial vessel must be classed by a classification society authorized by its country of registry. The classification society certifies that a vessel is safe and seaworthy in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the country of registry of the vessel and the IMO, International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea ("SOLAS"). In addition, a vessel generally must undergo annual, intermediate and special surveys to maintain classification society certification. If any vessel does not maintain its class or fails any annual, intermediate or special survey, the vessel will be unable to trade between ports and will be unemployable and we could be in violation of certain covenants in our credit facilities and our lease agreements. This could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***Increased inspection procedures, tighter import and export controls and new security regulations could cause disruption of our business.***

International containership traffic is subject to security and customs inspection and related procedures in countries of origin, destination and trans-shipment points. These inspections can result in cargo seizure, delays in the loading, offloading, trans-shipment or delivery of containers and the levying of customs duties, fines or other penalties against exporters or importers and, in some cases, customers.

Since the events of September 11, 2001, U.S. and Canadian authorities have increased container inspection rates. Government investment in non-intrusive container scanning technology has grown and there is interest in electronic monitoring technology that would enable remote, centralized monitoring of containers during shipment to identify tampering with or opening of the containers. Also, additional vessel security requirements have been imposed, including the installation of security alert and automatic identification systems on board vessels. It is unclear what changes, if any, to the existing inspection and security procedures will ultimately be proposed or implemented in future, or how any such changes will affect the industry. Such changes may impose additional financial and legal obligation on carriers and may render the shipment of certain types of goods by container uneconomical or impractical. Additional costs that may arise from current or future inspection procedures may not be fully recoverable from customers through higher rates or security surcharges. Any of these effects could materially harm our business, results of operation and financial condition.

The operation of our vessels is also affected by the requirements set forth in the International Ship and Port Facilities Security Code (the "ISPS Code"). The ISPS Code requires vessels to develop and maintain a ship security plan that provides security measures to address potential threats to the security of ships or port facilities. Although each of our containerships is ISPS Code-certified, any failure to comply with the ISPS Code or maintain such certifications may subject us to increased liability and may result in denial of access to, or detention in, certain ports. Furthermore, compliance with the ISPS Code requires us to incur certain costs. Although such costs have not been material to date, if new or more stringent regulations relating to the ISPS Code are adopted by the IMO and the flag states, these requirements could require significant additional capital expenditures or otherwise increase the costs of our operations.

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

***Governments could requisition our containerships during a period of war or emergency, resulting in loss of earnings.***

All of our vessels are registered and flagged in Hong Kong. The government could requisition for title or seize our containerships. Requisition for title occurs when a government takes control of a ship and becomes the owner. Also, a government could requisition our containerships for hire. Requisition for hire occurs when a government takes control of a ship and effectively becomes the charterer at dictated charter rates. Generally, requisitions occur during a period of war or emergency. Government requisition of one or more of our containerships could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***Our power generation business is subject to extensive governmental regulation in a number of different jurisdictions, and its inability to comply with existing regulations or requirements or changes in applicable regulations or requirements may have a negative impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition.***

We are subject to extensive regulation of our power generation business in the United States, Bangladesh, Brazil and Mexico and in each of the other countries in which we operate. Such laws and regulations require licenses, permits and other approvals to be obtained in connection with our activities. This regulatory framework imposes significant actual, day-to-day compliance burdens, costs and risks on us. In particular, the power plants that we install, commission, operate, maintain and demobilize are subject to strict national, state and local regulations relating to their development, construction and operation (including, among other things, land acquisition, leasing and use of land, and the corresponding building permits, landscape conservation, noise regulation, environmental protection and environmental permits and energy power transmission and distribution network congestion regulations). Non-compliance with such regulations could result in the revocation of permits, sanctions, fines or even criminal penalties. Compliance with regulatory requirements may require substantial costs to our operations that may not be recovered. In addition, we cannot predict the timing or form of any future regulatory or law enforcement initiatives. Changes in existing energy, environmental and administrative laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business, margins and investments.

***We have operations in emerging markets that could be subject to increased legal and political uncertainties.***

Our power generation business operates in a range of international locations, including Bangladesh, Brazil and Mexico, and we expect to expand our operations into new locations in the future, and our containership operations are heavily concentrated in the Asia Pacific region, particularly China. Accordingly, we face a number of risks associated with operating in emerging markets. These risks include, but are not limited to, adapting to the regulatory requirements of such countries, compliance with changes in laws and regulations applicable to foreign corporations, the uncertainty of judicial processes, and the absence, loss or non-renewal of favorable treaties, or similar agreements, with local authorities or other government officials, all of which can place disproportionate demands on our management, as well as significant demands on our operational and financial personnel and business.

A number of other risks are more prevalent than in developed markets, such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• social, economic and governmental instability (which has been, and during 2023 may continue to be, exacerbated by COVID-19), civil unrest and, in some cases, regime change and armed conflict;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the possibility of significant amendments to, or changes in, the application of governmental regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the nationalization and expropriation of private property;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• payment collection difficulties and general counterparty credit risk;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• substantial fluctuations in interest and exchange rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the tax framework or the unpredictability of enforcement of contractual provisions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• imposition of new or additional trade and economic sanctions laws imposed by the U.S. or foreign governments and other unfavorable interventions or restrictions imposed by public authorities.

Governments in Latin America and Asia frequently intervene in the economies of their respective countries and occasionally make significant changes in policy and regulations. Governmental actions in certain Latin American countries to control inflation and other policies and regulations have often involved, among other measures, price controls, currency devaluations, capital controls and limits on imports. Although our activities in emerging markets are not concentrated in any specific country (other than China for Seaspan, and Bangladesh and Brazil for APR Energy), the occurrence of one or more of these risks in a country or region in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and we can provide no assurance that our future international operations will remain successful.

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

***The legal system in China has inherent uncertainties that could limit the legal protections available to us, and the legal and geopolitical risks associated with chartering vessels to Chinese customers, constructing vessels in China and obtaining financing and insurance from Chinese financial institutions and insurers could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.***

We conduct a substantial amount of business in China and with Chinese counterparties. As of March 1, 2023, a total of 25 of the 132 vessels in our current fleet were chartered to Chinese customers and in 2022 our revenues from Chinese customers represented 29.9% of our total revenue from our containership segment. Many of our vessels regularly call to ports in China. In addition, we have entered into financing arrangements with certain Chinese financial institutions.

The Chinese legal system is based on written statutes and their legal interpretation by the standing Committee of the National People's Congress. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since 1979, the Chinese government has been developing a comprehensive system of laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade. However, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published cases and their non-binding nature, interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties.

Our vessels that are chartered to Chinese customers are subject to various risks as a result of uncertainties in Chinese law, including (1) the risk of loss of revenues, property or equipment as a result of expropriation, nationalization, changes in laws, exchange controls, war, insurrection, civil unrest, strikes or other political risks and (2) being subject to foreign laws and legal systems and the exclusive jurisdiction of Chinese courts and tribunals.

Although our charterparties and many of our financing arrangements are governed by English law, if we are required to commence legal proceedings against a customer, a charter guarantor or a lender based in China with respect to the provisions of a time charter, a time charter guarantee or a credit agreement, we may have difficulties in enforcing any judgment rendered by an English court (or other non-Chinese court) in China. Similarly, our shipbuilders based in China provide warranties against certain defects for the vessels that they will construct for us and we have refund guarantees from Chinese financial institutions for installment payments that we will make to the shipbuilders. Although the shipbuilding contracts and refund guarantees are governed by English law, if we are required to commence legal proceedings against these shipbuilders or against the refund guarantor, we may have difficulties enforcing in China any judgment obtained in such proceeding.

Such charters, shipbuilding agreements and financing agreements, and any additional agreements that we enter into with Chinese counterparties, may be subject to new regulations in China that may require us to incur new or additional compliance or other administrative costs and pay new taxes or other fees to the Chinese government. In addition, China has enacted a recent tax for non-resident international transportation enterprises engaged in the provision of services of passengers or cargo, among other items, in and out of China using their own, chartered or leased vessels, including any stevedore, warehousing and other services connected with the transportation. The recent law and relevant regulations broaden the range of international transportation companies which may find themselves liable for Chinese enterprise income tax on profits generated from international transportation services passing through Chinese ports. This tax or similar regulations by China may reduce our operating results and may also result in an increase in the cost of goods exported from China and the risks associated with exporting goods from China, as well as a decrease in the quantity of goods to be shipped from or through China, which would have an adverse impact on our charterers' business, operating results and financial condition and could thereby affect their ability to make timely charter hire payments to us and to renew and increase the number of their time charters with us.

Changes in laws and regulations, including with regards to tax matters, and their implementation by local authorities could affect our vessels chartered to Chinese customers as well as our vessels calling to Chinese ports, our vessels being built at Chinese shipyards and the financial institutions with whom we have entered into financing agreements, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as our cash flows, including cash available for dividends to our shareholders.

**Risks related to tax**

***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, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, China and other jurisdictions, which would reduce our earnings.***

We intend that our affairs and the business of each of our subsidiaries will be conducted and operated in a manner that minimizes income taxes imposed upon us and our subsidiaries. However, there is a risk that we will be subject to income tax in one or more jurisdictions, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and China, if under the laws of any such jurisdiction, we or such subsidiary is considered to be carrying on a trade or business there or earn income that is considered to be sourced there and we do not or such subsidiary does not qualify for an exemption or

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

reduced taxation under local taxation rules or applicable tax treaties. For example, our mobile power generation segment operates in jurisdictions around the world and may be subject to corporate income taxes to the extent there is taxable income generated in such jurisdictions. Please read "Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Taxation of the Company."

***Changes to tax laws and tax treaties could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operation and financial condition.***

Any change in tax law, interpretation or practice, or in the terms of tax treaties, in a jurisdiction where we are subject to tax could increase the amount of tax payable by us. In addition, the U.K. government, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (the "OECD"), and other government agencies in jurisdictions where we do business have had an extended focus on issues related to the taxation of multinational corporations. Recently, the OECD has published guidance aimed at reforming the profit allocation and nexus rules for taxing the profits of, and achieving a global minimum level to taxation for, certain multinational corporations. As a result of the OECD projects and the focus on the taxation of multi-national corporations, the tax laws in the U.K. and other countries in which we do business could change on a prospective or retroactive basis, and any such changes could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operation and financial condition.

Certain of our credit facilities and vessel lease and other financing arrangements, including for the financing of our newbuild vessels, contain customary provisions that could impact our cost of financing or our financiers' obligations to fund in the event of changes to applicable tax laws.

***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.*** 

A non-U.S. corporation will be treated as a "passive foreign investment company" ("PFIC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any taxable year for which either (1) at least 75% of its gross income consists of "passive income" or (2) at least 50% of the average value of the corporation's assets is attributable to assets that produce, or are held for the production of, "passive income." For purposes of these tests, "passive income" includes dividends, interest, gains from the sale or exchange of investment property, and rents and royalties (other than rents and royalties that are received from unrelated parties in connection with the active conduct of a trade or business) but does not include income derived from the performance of services.

There are legal uncertainties involved in determining whether the income derived from our time chartering activities constitutes rental income or income derived from the performance of services, including the decision in *Tidewater Inc. v. United States*, 565 F.3d 299 (5th Cir. 2009), which held that income derived from certain time chartering activities should be treated as rental income rather than services income for purposes of a foreign sales corporation provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). However, the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), stated in an Action on Decision (AOD 2010-01) that it disagrees with, and will not acquiesce to, the way that the rental versus services framework was applied to the facts in the *Tidewater* decision, and in its discussion stated that the time charters at issue in Tidewater would be treated as producing services income for PFIC purposes. The IRS's statement with respect to Tidewater cannot be relied upon or otherwise cited as precedent by taxpayers. Consequently, in the absence of any binding legal authority specifically relating to the statutory provisions governing PFICs, there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court would not follow the Tidewater decision in interpreting the PFIC provisions of the Code. Nevertheless, based on the current composition of our assets and operations (and those of our subsidiaries), we intend to take the position that we are not now and have never been a PFIC. No assurance can be given, however, that this position would be sustained by a court if contested by the IRS, or that we would not constitute a PFIC for any future taxable year if there were to be changes in our assets, income or operations.

If the IRS were to determine that we are or have been a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder (as defined below under "Item 10. Additional Information—E. Taxation—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations") held shares, such U.S. Holder would face adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences. For a more comprehensive discussion regarding our status as a PFIC and the tax consequences to U.S. Holders if we are treated as a PFIC, please read "Item 10. Additional Information—E. Taxation—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders—PFIC Status and Significant Tax Consequences."

***Atlas Corp. is U.K. tax resident. If Atlas' U.K. tax residency is not maintained, the amount of tax payable by us could increase, which could have a material adverse impact on the business, results of operation and financial condition.***

As a company incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Atlas is not automatically treated as U.K. resident for tax purposes. Our directors intend to meet all requirements of U.K. tax residency for Atlas by establishing that central management and control is carried out in the United Kingdom. If tax residency is not maintained solely in the United

Kingdom or if Atlas does not meet the conditions for the exemptions from U.K. corporation tax in respect of dividends, the amount of tax payable by us could increase, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operation and financial condition. In addition, were Atlas to be treated as tax resident in an alternative and/or additional jurisdiction, this could increase the aggregate tax burden of us and our shareholders.

**Risks related to our status as a non-U.S. company**

***Atlas and Seaspan are incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, which does not have a well-developed body of corporate law.***

The corporate affairs of Atlas and Seaspan are governed by their respective articles of incorporation and bylaws and by the Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act ("BCA"). The provisions of the BCA resemble provisions of the corporation laws of some states in the United States. However, there have been few judicial cases in the Republic of the Marshall Islands interpreting the BCA. The rights and fiduciary responsibilities of directors under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands are not as clearly established as the rights and fiduciary responsibilities of directors under statutes or judicial precedent in existence in certain United States jurisdictions. Shareholder rights may differ as well. While the BCA does specifically incorporate non-statutory law, or judicial case law, of the State of Delaware and other states with substantially similar legislative provisions, our public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions by management, directors or controlling shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a U.S. jurisdiction.

***Because Atlas and Seaspan are organized under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and our principal executive offices and most of our assets are located outside the United States, it may be difficult to serve us with legal process and enforce judgments against Atlas, Seaspan or their respective directors or management, and the applicable law and outcome of any bankruptcy proceedings may be difficult to predict.***

Atlas and Seaspan are organized under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Atlas's and Seaspan's principal executive offices are located in the United Kingdom and Hong Kong, respectively, a majority of our directors and officers are resident outside of the United States, and we conduct operations in countries around the world. In addition, a substantial portion of our assets and the assets of our directors, officers and experts are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against us or against our directors or officers in the United States if you believe that your rights have been infringed under securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands and of other jurisdictions may prevent or restrict you from enforcing a judgment against our assets or our directors and officers. Furthermore, in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or similar proceeding involving us or any of our subsidiaries, bankruptcy laws other than those of the United States could apply. If we become a debtor under U.S. bankruptcy law, bankruptcy courts in the United States may seek to assert jurisdiction over all of our assets, wherever located, including property situated in other countries. There can be no assurance, however, that we would become a debtor in the United States, or that a U.S. bankruptcy court would be entitled to, or accept, jurisdiction over such a bankruptcy case, or that courts in other countries that have jurisdiction over us and our operations would recognize a U.S. bankruptcy court's jurisdiction if any other bankruptcy court would determine it had jurisdiction.

***We are a "foreign private issuer" under the NYSE rules, and as such we are entitled to exemption from certain NYSE corporate governance standards, and you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE corporate governance requirements.***

We are a "foreign private issuer" under the securities laws of the United States and the rules of the NYSE. Under the securities laws of the United States, "foreign private issuers" are subject to different disclosure requirements than U.S. domiciled registrants, as well as different financial reporting requirements. Under the NYSE rules, a "foreign private issuer" is subject to less stringent corporate governance requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, the rules of the NYSE permit a "foreign private issuer" to follow its home country practice in lieu of the listing requirements of the NYSE. As permitted by the exemption, as well as by our bylaws and the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, we currently have a board of directors with a majority of independent directors, an audit committee comprised solely of three independent directors and a combined corporate governance and compensation committee comprised of independent directors. It is possible that, in the future, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE corporate governance requirements.

**Risks related to financing and indebtedness**

***We may not be able to timely pay, or be able to refinance, amounts owed under our credit facilities, Notes, vessel leases and other financing arrangements.***

We have significant normal course payment obligations under our credit facilities, Notes, and vessel leases (operating and finance) and other financing arrangements, both prior to and at maturity, of approximately $0.7 billion in 2023 and an additional $5.9 billion through to maturity, which extends to 2038. In addition, under our credit facilities, vessel leases, and other financing arrangements, a payment may be required in certain circumstances as a result of events such as the sale or loss of a vessel, a termination or expiration of a charter (where we do not enter into a replacement charter acceptable to the lenders within a specified grace period) or termination of a shipbuilding contract. The amount that must be paid may be calculated based on the loan to market value ratio or some other ratio that takes into account the market value of the relevant asset (with the repayment amount increasing if asset values decrease), or may be the entire amount of the financing in regard to a credit facility or a pre-determined termination sum in the case of vessel lease arrangements.

Our ability to make payments under our credit facilities, Notes, vessel leases and other financing arrangements will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This is, to a certain extent, subject to general economic, financial, competitive and other factors that are beyond our control. Our business may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations and future borrowings may not be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our debts as they come due or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity.

If we are able to obtain financing and refinancing, it may not be on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to refinance outstanding amounts at interest rates and other terms acceptable to us, or at all, we will have to dedicate a significant portion of our cash flow from operations to repay such amounts, which could reduce our ability to satisfy our payment obligations, or require us to delay certain business activities, capital expenditures or investments or cease paying dividends. If we are not able to satisfy these obligations (whether or not refinanced) with cash flow from operations, we may have to seek to restructure our debt, vessel leases and other arrangements, undertake alternative financing plans (such as additional debt or equity capital) or sell assets, which may not be available on terms attractive to us or at all.

The market values of our vessels and power generation assets fluctuate with market conditions. A reduction in our net assets could result in a breach of certain financial covenants applicable to our credit, leases and other facilities and our Notes which could limit our ability to borrow additional funds or require us to repay outstanding amounts. Further, declining containership values could affect our ability to raise cash by limiting our ability to refinance vessels or use unencumbered vessels as collateral for new loans or result in mandatory prepayments under certain of the credit facilities or our Notes.

If we are unable to meet or otherwise default on our debt, and vessel leases and other financing obligations, the holders of our debt or our lessors could declare all outstanding indebtedness to be immediately due and payable. Holders of our secured debt would also have the right to proceed against the collateral granted to them that secures the indebtedness. Additionally, most of our debt instruments contain cross-default provisions, which generally cause a default or event of default under each instrument upon a qualifying default or event of default under any other debt instrument.

Under the terms of our Notes, upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the relevant indentures) and/or certain other events, we may be required to purchase all or a portion of such Notes then outstanding at a purchase price equal to (in the case of our Senior Secured Notes) 100.0% or (in the case of our other Notes) 101.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, under the Subscription and Exchange Agreement (the "Subscription and Exchange Agreement") entered into with certain affiliates of Fairfax pursuant to which we exchanged $300.0 million of Fairfax Notes for 12,000,000 Series J preferred shares and 1,000,000 warrants, upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in such agreement), we may be required to purchase all or a portion of the Series J preferred shares held by affiliates of Fairfax for an amount equal to the liquidation preference set forth in the Statement of Designation for the Series J preferred shares, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. If a change of control were to occur, we may not have sufficient funds to pay the purchase price for the Notes and/or Series J preferred shares tendered and, in such case, expect that we would require third-party financing; however, we may not be able to obtain such financing on favorable terms, if at all. In addition, the occurrence of a change of control may result in an event of default under, or require us to purchase, our other existing or future senior indebtedness. Moreover, the exercise by the holders of their right to require us to purchase the Notes could cause a default under our existing or future senior indebtedness, even if the occurrence of a change of control itself does not, due to the financial effect of such purchase on us and our subsidiaries. Our failure to purchase tendered Notes at a time when the purchase is required by the indenture would constitute an event of default under the indenture, which, in turn, may constitute an event of default under future debt.

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

***Our substantial debt levels and vessel leases and other financing obligations may limit our flexibility in obtaining additional financing and in pursuing other business opportunities.***

As of December 31, 2022, we had $3.7 billion aggregate principal amount of debt outstanding under our credit facilities and Notes, and vessel leases (operating and finance) and other financing arrangements of approximately $2.9 billion. The amounts outstanding under our credit facilities and our vessel leases (operating and finance) and other financing arrangements will increase following the delivery of the 58 newbuild containerships that we have contracted to purchase.

Our level of debt and vessel leases and other financing obligations could have important consequences to us, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other purposes, may be impaired or such financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may need to use a substantial portion of our cash from operations to make principal and interest payments on our debt or make our lease payments, reducing the funds that would otherwise be available for operation and future business opportunities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our debt level could make us more vulnerable to competitive pressures, a downturn in our business or the economy generally than our competitors with less debt; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our debt level may limit our flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions.

Our ability to service our debt and vessel leases and other arrangements will depend upon, among other things, our financial and operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic, financial, business and regulatory conditions, as well as other factors, some of which are beyond our control. If our results of operations are not sufficient to service our current or future indebtedness and vessel leases and other obligations, we will be forced to take actions such as reducing or delaying our business activities, acquisitions, investments or capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing our debt, or seeking additional equity capital or bankruptcy protection. We may not be able to effect any of these remedies on satisfactory terms, or at all.

***Disruptions in global capital markets and economic conditions or changes in lending practices may harm our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, which could hinder or prevent us from meeting our capital needs.***

We rely on the global capital markets, especially the credit markets, to satisfy a significant portion of our capital requirements. Beginning in February 2022, the ongoing Russian-Ukraine Conflict has contributed to economic volatility and unpredictability, and may continue to do so, as may future crises and conflicts. Significant instability or disruptions of the capital markets or deterioration of our financial position due to internal or external factors could restrict or eliminate our access to, and/or significantly increase the cost of, various financing sources, including bank credit facilities and issuance of corporate bonds. This could occur because our lenders could become unwilling or unable to meet their funding obligations or we may not be able to obtain funds at the interest rate agreed to in our credit facilities due to market disruption events or increased funding costs. Such instability or disruptions in the capital markets may also cause lenders to be unwilling to provide us with new financing to the extent needed to fund our ongoing operations and growth. In recent years, the number of lenders for shipping companies has decreased and ship-funding lenders have generally lowered their loan-to-value ratios, shortened loan terms and accelerated repayment schedules. These factors may hinder our ability to access financing.

Instability or disruptions of the capital markets and deterioration of our financial position, alone or in combination, could also result in a reduction in our credit rating, which could prohibit or restrict us from accessing external sources of short and long-term debt financing and/or significantly increase the associated costs.

If financing or refinancing is not available when needed, or is available only on unfavorable terms, we may be unable to meet our obligations as they come due or we may be unable to implement our growth strategy, complete acquisitions or otherwise take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. See also —*"Our business may continue to be negatively impacted by inflation"* above.

***Exposure to interest rate fluctuations may result in fluctuations in our results of operations and financial condition.***

As of December 31, 2022, we had an aggregate of approximately $3.7 billion outstanding under our credit facilities and our Notes, and vessel leases (operating and finance) and other financing arrangements of approximately $2.9 billion. The majority of our credit facilities and vessel leases and other financing arrangements are variable rate facilities and leases, under which our payment obligations will increase as interest rates increase. While we have entered into interest rate swaps to manage some of our interest rate risk, interest rate fluctuations and their impact on the fair value of our interest rate swaps may have a negative effect on the results of our operations and financial condition. Please read "Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Interest Rate Risk."

***Restrictive covenants applicable to our credit facilities, Notes and vessel leases and other financing arrangements impose financial and other restrictions on us, which may limit, among other things, our ability to borrow funds under such financing and lease arrangements and our ability to pay dividends on our shares or redeem our preferred shares.***

To borrow funds under our existing credit facilities and vessel leases and other financing arrangements, we must, among other things, meet specified financial covenants. Until March 2023, we were prohibited under certain of our existing credit facilities and vessel leases and other financing arrangements from incurring total borrowings in an amount greater than 65.0% of our total assets (as defined in the applicable agreement). In March 2023, the most restrictive threshold for total borrowings to total assets in our financing arrangement was increased from 65.0% to 75.0%. In addition, we must also ensure that certain interest coverage, and interest and principal coverage ratios are met. Total borrowings and total assets are terms defined in such credit facilities and vessel leases and other financing arrangements and differ from those used in preparing our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. To the extent we are unable to satisfy such requirements, we may be unable to borrow additional funds or may be in breach, which could require us to repay outstanding borrowings. We may also be required to prepay amounts borrowed under some or all of our credit facilities, our Notes and vessel leases and other financing agreements if we experience a change of control (as defined in the relevant agreement, lease or indenture). These events may result in financial penalties to us under our leases.

In addition, our financing and lease arrangements limit our ability to, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pay dividends if an event of default has occurred and is continuing under one of our credit facilities and capital and operating lease arrangements or if the payment of the dividend would result in an event of default;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• incur additional indebtedness under the credit facilities or otherwise, including through the issuance of guarantees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• create liens on our assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sell our vessels without replacing such vessels or prepaying a portion of our loan or lease arrangements; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• merge or consolidate with, or transfer all or substantially all our assets to, another person.

Accordingly, we may need to seek consent from our lenders, lessors or holders of our Notes in order to engage in some corporate actions. The interests of our lenders, lessors and holders of our Note may be different from ours, and we may be unable to obtain our lenders', lessors' or Note holders' consent when and if needed. In addition, we are subject to covenants applicable to our preferred shares. If we do not comply with the restrictions and covenants applicable to our credit facilities, Notes, or vessel leases and other financing arrangements, results of operations and financial condition and ability to pay dividends on our shares or redeem our preferred shares will be negatively impacted.

***Charterparty-related defaults under certain of our secured credit facilities and vessel leases and other financing arrangements could permit the counterparties thereto to accelerate our obligations and terminate such facilities or leases, which could subject us to termination penalties.***

Most of our vessel financing credit facilities and other financing arrangements, as well as our finance and operating leases, are secured by, among other things, payments from the charterers for the applicable vessels and contain default provisions relating to non-payment. The prolonged failure of a charterer to pay in full under the charter or the termination or repudiation of the charter without our entering into a replacement charter contract within a specified period of time constitutes an event of default under certain of our financing agreements. If such a default were to occur, our outstanding obligations under the applicable financing agreements may become immediately due and payable, and the lenders' commitments under the financing agreements to provide additional financing, if any, may terminate. This could also lead to cross-defaults under other financing agreements and result in obligations becoming due and commitments being terminated under such agreements. A default under any financing agreement could also result in foreclosure on certain applicable vessels and other assets securing related loans or financings.

**Risks related to an investment in our securities**

***Fairfax has significant influence over our policies and business.***

Since 2018, Fairfax has made a number of investments in our Company. In addition, we acquired APR Energy from Fairfax and other sellers, in consideration for which we issued common shares to Fairfax and the other sellers. As at December 31, 2022, Fairfax held 6,000,000 warrants which were exercised in full in January 2023, Fairfax's shareholdings, including common shares owned by V. Prem Watsa (the chairman and chief executive officer of Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited) that he acquired in the open market, represented approximately 45.5% of our outstanding common shares after taking into account the issuance of the shares to Fairfax upon exercise of those warrants in January 2023. For more information about these investments, see "Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions."

The Subscription and Exchange Agreement provides Fairfax with the right to designate (and Fairfax has so designated) (i) two members of our board of directors if and for so long as Fairfax holds at least 5,000,000 Series J preferred shares or (ii) one member of our board of directors if Fairfax holds less than 5,000,000 but greater than 2,000,000 Series J preferred shares; provided, however, that in no event shall Fairfax have the right, when taken together with any rights of the holders under the Statement of Designation for the Series J preferred shares, to designate more than two members to the board of directors if the threshold described in clause (i) above is reached, or to designate more than one member to the board of directors if the threshold described in clause (ii) above is reached. Lawrence Chin and Stephen Wallace serve as Fairfax's designees to our board of directors. The combination of Fairfax's board representation and position as a significant equity holder gives Fairfax significant influence over our policies and business, and Fairfax's objectives may conflict with those of other shareholders and stakeholders of us.

***Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents could make it difficult for our shareholders to replace or remove our current board of directors or have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a merger or acquisition, which could adversely affect the market price of our securities.***

Several provisions of our articles of incorporation and our bylaws could make it more difficult for our shareholders to change the composition of our board of directors, preventing them from changing the composition of management. In addition, the same provisions may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that shareholders may consider favorable.

These provisions include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• authorizing our board of directors to issue "blank check" preferred shares without shareholder approval;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• authorizing the removal of directors only for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote for those directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• prohibiting shareholder action by written consent unless the written consent is signed by all shareholders entitled to vote on the action;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limiting the persons who may call special meetings of shareholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted on by shareholders at shareholder meetings; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restricting business combinations with interested shareholders.

These anti-takeover provisions could substantially impede a potential change in control and, as a result, may adversely affect the market price of our securities.

***We may not have sufficient cash from our operations to enable us to pay dividends on our shares or redeem our preferred shares following the payment of expenses.***

Atlas Corp. itself has no earnings from operations and relies on payments from its subsidiaries to meet its obligations. We pay quarterly dividends on our shares from funds legally available for such purpose when, as and if declared by and in the discretion of our board of directors. We may not have sufficient cash available each quarter to pay dividends. In addition, we may have insufficient cash available to redeem our preferred shares. The amount of dividends we can pay or the amount we can use to redeem the preferred shares depends upon the amount of cash we generate from and use in our operations, which may fluctuate significantly based on, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our continued ability to maintain, enter into or renew charters for vessels and leases of our power generation assets with our existing customers or new customers;

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the rates we obtain for such charters and leases and the ability of our customers to perform their obligations thereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the level of our operating costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the number of off-charter or unscheduled off-hire days for our fleet and the timing of, and number of days required for, dry-docking of our containerships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• prevailing global and regional economic and political conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the effect of governmental regulations and maritime self-regulatory organization standards on the conduct of our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the basis of taxation of our activities in various jurisdictions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to service and refinance our current and future indebtedness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to raise additional debt and equity to satisfy our capital needs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• dividend and redemption payments applicable to other senior or parity equity securities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to draw on our existing credit facilities and the ability of our lenders and lessors to perform their obligations under their agreements with us.

We have recently paid quarterly dividends of $0.125 per common share; for additional information, please read "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Ongoing Capital Expenditures and Dividends". Any increase in such dividend (1) will result in an upward adjustment of the number of our common shares issuable (a) upon exercise of the warrants held by Fairfax and (b) upon the exchange of the Exchangeable Notes, and (2) may trigger a Potential Adjustment Event under the capped calls (as such term is defined therein) entered into by us in connection with the issuance of the Exchangeable Notes.

***The amount of cash we have available to pay dividends on our shares or to redeem our preferred shares will not depend solely on our profitability, but is also subject to the discretion of our directors and the requirements of Marshall Islands law, among other factors.***

The actual amount of cash we will have available to pay dividends on our shares or to redeem our preferred shares depends on many factors, including, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in our operating cash flow, capital expenditure requirements, debt and lease repayment requirements, working capital requirements and other cash needs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restrictions under our existing or future credit facilities, Notes, or vessel leases or other financing arrangements may impact our ability to declare or pay dividends if an event of default has occurred and is continuing or if the payment of the dividend would result in an event of default or would violate any restricted payments covenant under the Notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the amount of any reserves established by our board of directors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restrictions under Marshall Islands law, which generally prohibits the payment of dividends other than from surplus (i.e., retained earnings and the excess of consideration received for the sale of shares above the par value of the shares) or while a company is insolvent or would be rendered insolvent by the payment of such a dividend.

The amount of cash we generate from our operations may differ materially from our net income or loss for the period, which is affected by non-cash items, and our board of directors in its discretion may elect not to declare any dividends. As a result of these and the other factors mentioned above, we may pay dividends during periods when we record losses and may not pay dividends during periods when we record net income.

Our board of directors periodically assesses our need to retain funds rather than pay them out as dividends. Our board of directors may decide to further reduce, or possibly eliminate, our dividend in order to retain funds necessary to preserve our capital base.

***We have granted registration rights to certain holders of our common shares, who could compel us to facilitate the sale of large numbers of our common shares into the market, which could cause the price of our common shares to decline.***

As part of our initial public offering and subsequent transactions, we granted registration rights to certain holders of our securities. Please refer to our discussion of these registration rights agreements at "Item 7. Major Shareholders and

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

Related Party Transactions—B. Related Party Transactions—Registration Rights Agreements". These shareholders, who include Fairfax and affiliates of the Washington family, have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require us to file registration statements to allow the sale of their common shares. Following their sale under an applicable registration statement, any such common shares will become freely tradable. By exercising their registration rights and selling a large number of common shares, these shareholders could cause the price of our common shares to decline.

***The trading price of our preferred shares might be adversely impacted in the future.***

Following the Transaction, our common shares will not be publicly listed. We might lose research coverage and other equity investor interest in our company. This could have an adverse impact on the trading price of our preferred shares or otherwise impact the liquidity of our preferred shares.

**General risk factors**

***Disruptions and security threats to our technology systems could negatively impact our business.***

In the ordinary course of business, we rely on the security of information and operational technology systems, including those of our business partners and other third parties, to manage or support a variety of business activities including operating and navigating our containership fleet and operating our power generation equipment; tracking container contents and delivery; maintaining vessel and power plant infrastructure; communicating with personnel, management, customers and business partners; collecting, processing, transmitting and storing electronic information, including personal, employee, business, financial and operational data; facilitating business and financial transactions; and providing services to our customers. A successful cyber-attack on us, or our business partners, could significantly disrupt these and other commercial activities and business functions resulting in a loss of revenue and customer relationships. For operational technology in particular, a successful cyber-attack could result in physical damage to assets and infrastructure, injury or loss of life and environmental harm.

Our global technology network faces many threats from criminal hackers and competitors who may use phishing emails, unauthorized network intrusions, electronic communications or portable electronic devices to distribute computer viruses and ransomware, enable fraudulent transactions, or otherwise alter the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our information and information systems. Due to our continuing efforts to secure our technology network infrastructure, protect our critical data and systems, and ensure operational resiliency, attempted cyber-attacks against the Company have been unsuccessful to date. However, cyber-attacks may continue to occur and a successful cyber-attack could have a material impact on our financial performance, reputation and continuous operations. Cyber-attacks are becoming increasingly common and more sophisticated, and may be perpetrated by computer hackers, cyber-terrorists or others engaged in corporate espionage. Further, as the methods of cyber-attacks continue to evolve, we may be required to expend additional resources to enhance and supplement our existing protective measures. A successful cyber-attack could also result in significant costs associated with the investigation and remediation of our technology systems, as well as increased regulatory and legal liability.

***Currency exchange rate fluctuations and controls affect our results of operations.***

Although all of our charter revenues are earned in U.S. dollars and a significant portion of our operating and general and administrative costs are incurred in U.S. dollars, we conduct operations in many countries involving transactions denominated in a variety of currencies. We are subject to currency exchange rate risk to the extent that our costs are denominated in currencies other than those in which we earn revenues. We monitor exchange rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and seek to reduce our exposure in certain circumstances by denominating charter-hire revenue, ship building contracts, purchase contracts and debt obligations in U.S. dollars when practical to do so; however, we do not currently fully hedge movements in currency exchange rates. As a result, currency fluctuations may have a negative effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We also face risks arising from the imposition of exchange controls and currency devaluations. Exchange controls may limit our ability to convert foreign currencies into U.S. dollars or to remit dividends and other payments by our foreign subsidiaries or businesses located in or conducted within a country imposing controls. Currency devaluations result in a diminished value of funds denominated in the currency of the country instituting the devaluation.

***The global COVID-19 pandemic has created significant economic disruption and adversely affected our business, and is likely to continue to do so in the future.***

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets and increased unemployment levels. The pandemic resulted in temporary or permanent closures of many businesses and the institution of travel restrictions, quarantine requirements, lockdowns and other governmental measures and regulations aimed at stopping or containing the spread of the virus, which have also had the effect of depressing economic activity. The COVID-19 pandemic, including the measures implemented

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

to combat it, has created increased costs, operational challenges and delays in our businesses. In our containership business, costs increased due to COVID-19's impact on supply chains, on workers', surveyors' and other specialists' access to the shipyards to complete repairs and inspections, and on the ability to conduct crew transfers. COVID-19 has also impacted, and may continue to impact the operations of our shipbuilders in Asia, who are engaged to construct each of our newbuilding vessel. As a result, the delivery of some of our vessels may be delayed. In our power generation business, COVID-19 delayed transport of our turbines and balance of plant equipment, as well as our personnel, to project sites due to border closures and travel restrictions. In addition, COVID-19 has impacted new growth opportunities due to delays in procurement processes and a general reduction in demand for power in certain markets.

The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future business and financial results will depend on future developments regarding the course and duration of the pandemic within the markets in which we operate or which are part of our supply chain, the continuing effect of governmental regulations imposed in response to the pandemic and the extent to which consumers continue to modify their behavior, all of which are highly uncertain and ever-changing. Any of the foregoing factors, or other cascading effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or its aftermath, could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic or its aftermath adversely affect our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this "Risk Factors" section.

***The ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia has adversely affected our business, results of operations and financial condition, and may continue to do so in the future.***

The global markets have experienced volatility and disruption as a result of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine Conflict. The Russia-Ukraine Conflict has led to significant volatility in commodity prices and the capital markets.

In our containership business, costs increased due to the war's impact on supply chains, on the availability of workers, on our ability to conduct crew transfers and on our customers' businesses.

We maintain Ukrainian seafarers in rotation based out of other Eastern European countries outside of Ukraine. However, the ratio of Ukrainian crews decreased from 17% in February 2022 to 13% in December 2022. While we have implemented internal policies to alleviate some of the burdens arising from the war borne by our Ukrainian seafarers, it is difficult to predict the long-term effect the Russia-Ukraine Conflict may have on our seafarers and other operations.

Although we have recently renewed our war risk insurance policy without an increase in premium, the premium may rise in subsequent years if the Russia-Ukraine Conflict continues to escalate.

The potential effects of the Russia-Ukraine Conflict could also impact many of the other risk factors described herein. These risks could include but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The performance of the Company may suffer from business disruptions associated with information technology, cyber-attacks or unauthorized access, or catastrophic losses affecting infrastructure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Uncertainty in international trade policy could negatively impact our customers' business and in turn could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The sanctions and penalties imposed by the U.S., EU, U.K., and other countries have against Russia and Belarus in response to the ongoing military conflict could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets. If we are found to be in violation of these sanctions, there could be a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations, or the market for our common shares.

The extent and duration of the war, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict at this time. Any of the above mentioned factors could adversely affect the wider global economy and our business, results of operations, financial condition, and profitability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**B.Business Overview**

**<u>General</u>**

Atlas Corp. is a global asset manager and the parent company of Seaspan and APR Energy. We have two reportable segments: containership leasing and mobile power generation. Our containership leasing segment, which is conducted through Seaspan, owns and operates a fleet of containerships which it charters to major container liner companies. Our power generation segment, which is conducted through APR Energy, owns and operates a fleet of power generation assets, including gas turbines and other equipment, and provides power solutions to customers through various contracts. In March 2021, Atlas entered into a joint venture with Zhejiang Energy Group ("ZE") and executed a shareholders' agreement with ZE to form the joint venture ("ZE JV"). The purpose of the joint venture is to develop business in relation to container vessels, LNG vessels, environmental protection equipment and power equipment supply.

**Poseidon Acquisition of Atlas**

On October 31, 2022, Atlas entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Poseidon and Poseidon Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Poseidon ("Merger Sub"), pursuant to which, among other things, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Atlas, with Atlas continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Poseidon (other than with respect to the Company's preferred shares) (the "Merger"). Poseidon is an entity formed by certain affiliates of Fairfax, certain affiliates of the Washington Family ("Washington"), David Sokol, the Chairman of our Board, Ocean Network Express Pte. Ltd., and certain of their respective affiliates (collectively, the "Consortium"). As of December 31, 2022, the Consortium collectively held approximately 69.7% of our outstanding common shares. The consummation of the Merger is conditioned on, among certain other closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals and third-party consents, adoption of the Merger Agreement by holders of at least (x) a majority of the voting power of our issued and outstanding common shares other than those held by any member of the Consortium, Merger Sub, any of our executive officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, associates or immediate family members and (y) a majority of the voting power of our issued and outstanding common shares entitled to vote thereon at a meeting of our shareholders or any adjournment or postponement thereof (the "Company Shareholder Approval"). On February 24, 2023, the Company Shareholder Approval was obtained at an annual meeting of shareholders of the Company. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the remaining closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Merger is expected to close in the first half of 2023.

As of the date of this Form 20-F, based upon the current status of regulatory approvals, consents and other customary closing conditions the Merger could close as early as March 31, 2023, subject to the satisfaction of all required conditions.

**Containership leasing**

Through Seaspan, we are a leading independent charter owner and manager of containerships. We primarily deploy our vessels on long-term, fixed-rate time charters to take advantage of the stable cash flow and high utilization rates that are typically associated with long-term time charters. As at March 1, 2023, we operated a fleet of 132 vessels that have an average age of approximately eight years, on a TEU weighted basis.

As of March 1, 2023, the charters on the 132 vessels in our operating fleet had an average remaining lease period of approximately four years, on a TEU weighted basis, excluding the effect of charterers' options to extend certain time charters.

*Time Charters and Bareboat Charters* 

A time charter is a contract for the use of a vessel with crew for a fixed period of time at a specified daily rate. A bareboat charter is a contract for the use of a vessel without crew where the charterer also assumes responsibility for dry-docking of the vessel, if needed. See "Glossary."

The initial term for a time or bareboat charter commences when the charterer obtains the right to use the asset under the relevant lease arrangement. Under all of our time charters, the charterer may also extend the term for periods in which the vessel is off-hire. A summary of average remaining charter periods is included above under "—Seaspan Fleet."

*Hire Rate* 

Under all of our long-term time charters, charter hire is payable in U.S. dollars, as specified in the charter. The hire rate is a fixed daily amount that, for some contracts may increase, or decrease at varying intervals during the term of the charter and any extension to the term. Payments generally are made in advance on a monthly or semi-monthly basis. The hire rate may be reduced in certain instances as a result of added cost to the charterer due to vessel performance deficiencies in speed or fuel consumption. We have had no instances of such hire rate reductions.

*Operations and Expenses* 

We operate our vessels on time charter and are responsible for vessel operating expenses. See "Glossary." The charterer generally pays the voyage expenses. See "Glossary."

*Off-hire* 

When a vessel is "off-hire," or not available for service, the charterer generally is not required to pay the hire rate, and we are responsible for all costs, including the fuel cost, unless the charterer is responsible for the circumstances giving rise to the vessel's lack of availability. A vessel generally will be deemed to be off-hire when there is an event preventing the full working of the vessel due to, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• operational deficiencies not due to actions of the charterers or their agents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• dry-docking for repairs, maintenance or inspection;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• equipment or machinery breakdowns, abnormal speed and construction conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• delays due to accidents for which the vessel owner, operator or manager is responsible, and related repairs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• crewing strikes, labor boycotts caused by the vessel owner, operator or manager, certain vessel detentions or similar problems; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a failure to maintain the vessel in compliance with its specifications and contractual standards or to provide the required crew.

Under most of our time charters, if a vessel is off-hire for a specified number of consecutive days or for a specified aggregate number of days during a 12-month period, the charterer has the right to cancel the time charter with respect to that vessel. Under some charter contracts, if a vessel is off-hire for specified reasons for a prolonged period, we are obligated to charter a substitute vessel and to pay any difference in hire cost of the charter for the duration of the

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

substitution. The periods of off-hire that trigger such termination rights exclude, in addition to any other specific exclusions in the charter, off-hire for routine dry-dockings or non-compliance with regulatory obligations. Our charter contracts generally provide for hire adjustments for vessel performance deficiencies such as those in speed or fuel consumption, with prolonged performance deficiencies giving the charterer a termination right under some charters.

*Ship Management and Maintenance* 

Under each of our time charters, we are responsible for the operation and management of each vessel, including maintaining the vessel, periodic dry-docking, cleaning and painting and performing work required by regulations.

We focus on risk reduction, operational reliability and safety. We believe we achieve high standards of technical ship management by, among other methods:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• developing a minimum competency standard for seagoing staff;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• standardizing equipment used throughout the fleet, thus promoting efficiency and economies of scale;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• implementing a voluntary vessel condition and maintenance monitoring program;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintaining a high retention rate for the senior officers on our vessels;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a cadet training program; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• recruiting and retaining highly-skilled and talented people in our technical ship management offices in Vancouver and Hong Kong.

Our staff has skills in all aspects of ship management and experience in overseeing new vessel construction, vessel conversions and general marine engineering, and has previously worked in various companies in the international ship management industry. A number of senior managers also have sea-going experience, having served aboard vessels at a senior rank. In all training programs, we place an emphasis on safety and regularly train our crew members and other employees to meet our high standards. Shore-based personnel and crew members are trained to be prepared to respond to emergencies related to life, property or the environment.

*Sale and Purchase of Vessels* 

Under some of our time charters, the customer has the right to prior notice of or consent to any proposed sale of the applicable vessel, which consent cannot be unreasonably withheld. A limited number of charters provide the charterer with a right of first refusal for the proposed vessel sale, which would require us to offer the vessel to the charterer prior to selling it to another entity. Sub-charters do not affect our ability to sell our time chartered vessels. Certain of our bareboat charters have purchase obligations and require the charterer to purchase the vessel upon termination of the bareboat charter. The purchase obligation may be at a pre-determined amount or at a purchase price equivalent to the fair value within a pre-determined range depending on the charter.

*Inspection by Classification Societies* 

Every seagoing vessel must be certified as seaworthy by a classification society. The classification society certifies that the vessel has been built and maintained in accordance with the rules of the classification society and complies with applicable rules and regulations of the vessel's country of registry and the international conventions of which that country is a member. In addition, where surveys are required by international conventions and corresponding laws and ordinances of a flag state, the classification society will undertake the surveys on application or by official order, acting on behalf of the authorities concerned.

Each vessel is inspected by a surveyor of the classification society in three surveys of varying frequency and thoroughness: every year for annual surveys, every two to three years for intermediate surveys, and every five years for special surveys. If any defects are found, the classification surveyor will issue a "condition of class" or a "requirement" for appropriate repairs that have to be made by the shipowner within the time limit prescribed. Vessels may be required, as part of the annual and intermediate survey process, to be dry-docked for inspection of the underwater portions of the vessel and for necessary repair stemming from the inspection. Special surveys always require dry-docking. The classification society also undertakes on request other surveys and inspections that are required by regulations and requirements of the flag state. These surveys are subject to agreements made in each individual case or to the regulations of the country concerned.

**Power Generation**

Through APR Energy, we also operate a fleet of power generation assets (gas turbines and other power generation equipment), providing electricity to customers including large corporations in the oil and gas, mining and other industries and both government backed and private utilities. As of March 1, 2023, we operated a fleet of 30 gas turbines and 274 diesel generators. The average age of the turbines is ten years and the average age of our diesel generators is 11.6 years.

Our primary objective is to drive sustained growth and optimize cash flow by delivering operational excellence and providing a broad range of innovated technologies and offerings to generate customer value. Our revenues are primarily derived from offering customized power solutions that include flexible plant design, fast-tracked installation of generating equipment and balance of plant, plant operation and around-the-clock service and maintenance.

APR Energy operates in developed and developing markets worldwide. Each market has unique drivers for energy demand along with a mix of competitors. Historically, outside of natural disasters and man-made events, APR Energy's main market has been in the developing market providing power for sovereign utilities and industry. Typically, the acute demand for power in these markets evolves from a combination of lack of planning, electricity demand outstripping supply in general, political events or delays in investment. As APR Energy's gas turbines are quickly deployable, can run on multiple fuels, have low emissions and are power-dense, we have successfully completed power projects of varying terms in markets where utilities, grid operators and industrial customers require large blocks of power quickly for seasonal peaking, augmenting baseload power, replacing power generation during maintenance of existing power plants, bridging to permanent solutions plants, or exigent event-driven emergency response.

APR Energy's contracts generally take the form of power purchase agreements. Under such a structure, customers purchase a portion of APR's generation capacity over a period of time on a take or pay basis. Additional fees may be assessed for actual equipment run time. APR is obligated to deliver an operating power plant by a date certain, the plant must be available for a certain percentage of time during the contract period, the plant must produce a certain number of megawatts and it must operate within certain fuel efficiency parameters. Failure to meet any of these conditions generally subjects APR to monetary penalties.

**<u>Insurance</u>**

*Containership leasing.* We maintain marine hull and machinery, and war risks insurances, which covers the risk of actual or constructive total loss and partial loss, for all of our vessels. Each of our vessels is covered up to at least fair market value with certain deductibles, per vessel, per claim. We achieve this overall loss coverage by maintaining, as included, nominal increased value coverage for each of our vessels, under which coverage, in the event of total loss of a vessel, we will be entitled to recover amounts not recoverable under the hull and machinery policy beyond partial loss. We have not obtained, and do not intend to obtain, loss-of-hire insurance covering the loss of revenue during extended off-hire periods. We believe that this type of coverage is not economical and is of limited value to us. However, we evaluate the need for such coverage on an ongoing basis, taking into account insurance market conditions and the employment of our

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

vessels. The charterer generally pays extra war risk insurance and broker commissions when the vessel is ordered by the charterer to enter a notified war exclusion trading area.

Protection and indemnity insurance is provided by mutual protection and indemnity associations ("P&I associations"), which insure our third-party pollution, wreck removal and crew liabilities in connection with our shipping activities. Coverage includes third-party liability, crew liability and other related expenses resulting from the abandonment, injury or death of crew, and other third parties, the loss or damage to cargo, claims arising from collisions with other vessels, damage to other third-party property, pollution arising from oil or other substances and salvage, towing and other related costs, including wreck removal. Protection and indemnity insurance is a form of mutual indemnity insurance, extended by P&I associations. Subject to a limit, our coverage is nearly unlimited, but subject to the rules of the particular protection and indemnity insurer.

The 13 P&I associations that comprise the International Group insure approximately 90% of the world's commercial blue-water tonnage and have entered into a pooling agreement to reinsure each association's liabilities. As a member of a mutual P&I association, which is a member or affiliate of the International Group, we are subject to calls payable to the associations based on the International Group's claim records as well as a proportioned impact of claim records of all other members of the individual associations.

*Power generation.* APR Energy maintains customary insurances for its industry, including cover for transportation of its equipment, machinery breakdown, losses due to fire and natural disasters and business interruption. In certain jurisdictions coverage against political risk is also in place. We evaluate the need for cover, limits and deductibles on an ongoing basis in consultation with our insurance brokers and other subject matter experts.

**<u>Competition</u>**

*Containership Leasing.* We operate in markets that are highly competitive and based primarily on supply and demand of containerships. We compete for charters based upon price, customer relationships, operating and technical performance, professional reputation and size, age and condition of the vessel.

Competition for providing new containerships for chartering purposes comes from a number of experienced shipping companies, including direct competition from shipping and lease financing companies, other independent charter owners and indirect competition from state-sponsored and other major entities with their own fleets. Some of our competitors may have greater financial resources than we do and can operate larger fleets and may be able to offer better charter rates. An increasing number of marine transportation companies have entered the containership sector, including many with positive reputations and extensive resources and experience. This increased competition may cause greater price competition for time charters.

 *Power Generation.* Competition for APR Energy comes from power generation equipment manufacturers (OEMs), regional and global IPPs, fuel companies, and other specialty power generation companies including local and regional power rental companies. Barriers to entry in our market space remain high, but there are new and expanding entrants competing with APR Energy with different solutions and technologies, including renewables. This may create pricing pressure in the market, slower contracting of our gas turbine solutions, and lead to reduced margins.

**<u>Seasonality</u>**

*Containership Leasing.* Our vessels primarily operate under long-term charters and are generally not subject to the effect of seasonal variations in demand.

*Power Generation.* A portion of APR Energy's demand is subject to seasonality as it pertains to customers with increased power demand due to either hot temperatures in the summertime or cold temperatures in the wintertime. The exigent events that drive some of APR Energy's response driven projects are seasonal such as hurricane or drought driven demand but can easily occur any time of year such as power plant failures, earthquakes or tsunamis. The bulk of APR Energy's demand results from a lack of planning, electricity demand outstripping supply in general, political events or delays in investment, none of which are driven by seasonality.

**<u>Environmental and Other Regulations</u>** 

Government regulation significantly affects our business and the operation of our vessels and power plants. We are subject to international conventions and codes, and national, state, provincial and local laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which our businesses operate or where our vessels are registered, including, among others, those governing the generation, management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, the cleanup of oil spills and other contamination, air emissions, water discharges and noise abatement.

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

A variety of government, quasi-government and private entities require us to obtain permits, licenses or certificates for our business operations. Failure to maintain necessary permits or approvals could require us to incur substantial costs or temporarily suspend the operation of one or more of our power plants or our vessels in one or more ports.

Increasing environmental concerns have created a demand for vessels that conform to the strictest environmental standards. We are required to maintain operating standards for all of our vessels that emphasize operational safety, quality maintenance, continuous training of our officers and crews and compliance with United States, Canadian and international regulations and with flag state administrations.

The following is an overview of certain material governmental regulations that affect our business and the operation of our vessels. It is not a comprehensive summary of all government regulations to which we are subject.

**International Maritime Organization** 

The IMO is the United Nations' agency for maritime safety. The IMO has negotiated international conventions that impose liability for pollution in international waters and a signatory's territorial waters. For example, the IMO's International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships ("MARPOL"), imposes environmental standards on the shipping industry relating to, among other things, pollution prevention and procedures, technical standards, oil spills management, transportation of marine pollutants and air emissions. Annex VI of MARPOL, which regulates air pollution from vessels, sets limits on sulfur oxide, nitrogen oxide and particulate matter emissions from vessel exhausts and prohibits deliberate emissions of ozone depleting substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons. We believe all of our vessels currently are Annex VI compliant, as applicable. Annex VI also includes a global cap on the sulfur content of fuel oil with a lower cap on the sulfur content applicable inside Emission Control Areas ("ECAs"). Existing ECAs include the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, including the English Channel, the North American area and the U.S. Caribbean Sea area. Additional geographical areas may be designated as ECAs in the future.

Annex VI called for incremental reductions in sulfur in fuel between 2012 and 2020, and the use of advanced technology engines designed to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxide, with a "Tier II" emission limit applicable to engines installed on or after January 1, 2011 and a more stringent "Tier III" emission limit applicable to engines installed on or after January 1, 2016 operating in the North American and U.S. Caribbean Sea and to engines installed on or after January 1, 2021 for vessels operating in the Baltic and North Sea. For future nitrogen oxide ECA designations, Tier III standards will apply to engines installed on ships constructed on or after the date of ECA designation, or a later date as determined by the country applying for the ECA designation.

The global sulfur cap came into force on January 1, 2020, following amendments to Annex VI of MARPOL. This cap requires marine vessels to consume fuels with a maximum sulfur content of 0.5%. Compliance with Annex VI for the emission of sulfur oxides can be achieved by means of the primary control of using low sulfur content fuel or through a secondary control by removing the sulfur oxide pollutant using an exhaust gas cleaning system. Our time charters call for our customers to supply fuel that complies with Annex VI. Currently, 26 vessels in our fleet use an exhaust gas cleaning system to achieve compliance with IMO's 2020 sulfur cap. The remainder of our fleet has achieved compliance by switching to compliant fuels.

In 2018, the IMO adopted a measures to reduce Green House Gases ("GHG") emission from international shipping, which measures are consistent with the Paris Agreement goals. The measures are primarily centered on design improvements for newbuild vessels and operational measures to improve energy efficiency of ships. In maintaining alignment with its strategy and corresponding targets, in November 2020, the Marine Environment Protection Committee of the IMO adopted additional short-term measures which include design improvements for existing ships and verification of operational efficiency by measuring Carbon Intensity, which will come into force starting in 2023. To comply with the new requirements, existing vessels will have to take measures to align with the design index applicable to IMO's phase 3 design criteria for new ships. Limiting engine power is one of the several ways to achieve the required Energy Efficiency Design Index for Existing ships and comply with the new MARPOL requirement. Several vessels in our fleet will go through the process of limiting engine power to achieve compliance by due date. There are other ongoing initiatives to improve operational efficiency of our vessels such as hydrodynamic modifications, selection of high performance hull coatings and cargo loadability improvements, amongst others measures to improve carbon footprint from our vessels. We may be subject to significant costs and expenses if we fail to meet these new requirements and any of our ships is non-compliant. The IMO also requires ships of 5,000 gross tonnage or more to record and report their fuel consumption to their flag state at the end of each calendar year. Flag states of respective vessels will subsequently transfer this data to IMO Ship Fuel consumption database. The Database will help IMO measure GHG emissions and take measures to reduce the emissions in line with its strategic goals. Some of our ships will be affected by the new requirements and we will have to agree with our charterers on new speed limitations and possible ship modifications to meet these requirements.

The IMO's International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage (the "Bunker Convention"), imposes, subject to limited exceptions, strict liability on vessel owners for pollution damage in jurisdictional waters of ratifying states, which does not include the United States, caused by discharges of "bunker oil." The Bunker Convention also requires owners of registered vessels over a certain size to maintain insurance for pollution damage in an amount generally equal to the limits of liability under the applicable national or international limitation regime. We believe our vessels comply with the Bunker Convention.

The IMO's Ballast Water Management Convention requires ships to manage their ballast water in such a way that aquatic organisms and pathogens are removed or rendered harmless before discharging the water. The compliance deadline for installation of ballast water treatment ("BTW") systems is 2024. We adopted the BTW technology for our newbuild vessels in the early stages and are on track to complete installation of approved BWT systems before the IMO compliance date.

The IMO also regulates vessel safety. The International Safety Management Code (the "ISM Code"), provides an international standard for the safe management and operation of ships and for pollution prevention. The ISM Code requires our vessels to develop and maintain an extensive "Safety Management System" that includes the adoption of a safety and environmental protection policy and implementation procedures. A Safety Management Certificate is issued under the provisions of SOLAS to each vessel with a Safety Management System verified to be in compliance with the ISM Code. Failure to comply with the ISM Code may subject a party to increased liability, may decrease available insurance coverage for the affected vessels, and may result in a denial of access to, or detention in, certain ports. All of the vessels in our fleet are ISM Code-certified.

Increasingly, various regions are adopting additional, unilateral requirements on the operation of vessels in their territorial waters. These regulations, such as those described below, apply to our vessels when they operate in the relevant regions' waters and can add to operational and maintenance costs, as well as increase the potential liability that applies to violations of the applicable requirements.

***United States***

*The United States Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and CERCLA*

The United States Oil Pollution Act of 1990 ("OPA"), establishes an extensive regulatory and liability regime for the protection and cleanup of the environment from oil spills. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), governs spills or releases of hazardous substances other than petroleum or petroleum products. Under OPA and CERCLA, vessel owners, operators and bareboat charterers are jointly and, subject to limited exceptions, strictly liable for all containment and clean-up costs and other damages arising from discharges or threatened discharges of oil or hazardous substances, as applicable, from their vessels. OPA and CERCLA define these damages broadly to include certain direct and indirect damages and losses, including the assessment of damages, remediation, damages to natural resources such as fish and wildlife habitat, and agency oversight costs.

Under certain conditions, liabilities under OPA and CERCLA may be limited due to base or gross ton caps, which are periodically updated. Liability caps do not apply under OPA and CERCLA if the incident is caused by gross negligence, willful misconduct or a violation of certain regulations.

We maintain pollution liability coverage insurance in the amount of $1.0 billion per incident for each of our vessels. If the damages from a catastrophic spill were to exceed our insurance coverage it could harm our business, financial condition and results of operation. Vessel owners and operators must establish and maintain with the U.S. Coast Guard evidence of financial responsibility sufficient to meet their potential aggregate liabilities under OPA and CERCLA. Evidence of financial responsibility may be demonstrated by showing proof of insurance, surety bonds, self-insurance or guarantees. We have obtained the necessary U.S. Coast Guard financial assurance certificates for each of our vessels currently in service and trading to the United States. Owners or operators of certain vessels operating in U.S. waters also must prepare and submit to the U.S. Coast Guard a response plan for each vessel, which plan, among other things, must address a "worst case" scenario environmental discharge and describe crew training and drills to address any discharge. Each of our vessels has the necessary response plans in place.

OPA and CERCLA do not prohibit individual states from imposing their own liability regimes with regard to oil pollution or hazardous substance incidents occurring within their boundaries, and some states have enacted legislation providing for unlimited liability for spills. In some cases, states that have enacted such legislation have not yet issued implementing regulations defining vessel owners' responsibilities under these laws. We intend to comply with all applicable state regulations in the ports where our vessels call.

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

*Clean Water Act and Ballast Water Regulation*

The Clean Water Act ("CWA"), establishes the basic structure for regulating discharges of pollutants into the waters of the United States and regulating quality standards for surface waters. Civil and criminal penalties are expressly authorized by the CQAS for discharges of pollutants without a permit and the failure to satisfy permit requirements. The Act also authorizes citizens to bring claims against alleged violators under its citizen suit provisions. The CWA also authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") to impose on responsible parties costs associated with the removal, and remediation of hazardous substances, as well other damages. In this way, the CWA complements the remedies available under OPA and CERCLA. The CWA does not prohibit individual states from imposing more stringent conditions, which many states have done.

Rules relating to ballast water, and specifically, ballast water discharge, have been adopted by the EPA and the United States Coast Guard. In general, these rules require the pre-treatment of ballast water prior to discharge. Additional requirements relating to ballast water management apply to vessels visiting different port facilities. Failure to comply with these rules could restrict our ability to operate within U.S. waters and result in fines, penalties or other sanctions.

As of December 2019, the EPA is regulating ballast water discharges and other discharges incidental to the normal operation of certain vessels pursuant to the Vessel Incidental Discharge Act ("VIDA"), which replaces the 2013 Vessel General Permit ("VGP") program. VIDA requires the EPA to develop performance standards for discharges within two years of enactment, and requires the U.S. Coast Guard to develop complementary regulations within two years of EPA's promulgation of standards. Under VIDA, existing regulations regarding ballast water treatment remain in effect until the EPA and U.S. Coast Guard regulations are finalized. Non-military, non-recreational vessels greater than 79 feet in length must continue to comply with the requirements of the VGP, including submission of the Notice of Intent ("NOI") or retention of the PARI form and submission of annual reports. We submit the NOIs for our vessels where required. Compliance with these and other regulations could require the installation of ballast water treatment equipment or the implementation of the other port facility disposal procedures at potentially significant costs. Non-compliance with these regulations may result in fines, penalties or other sanctions.

In addition, the Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships ("APPS"), implements various provisions of MARPOL and applies to larger foreign-flag ships when operating in U.S. waters. The regulatory mechanisms established in APPS to implement MARPOL are separate and distinct from the CWA and other federal environmental laws. Civil and criminal penalties may be assessed under APPS for non-compliance.

*Additional Ballast Water Regulations*

The United States National Invasive Species Act ("NISA"), and certain regulation enacted by the U.S. Coast Guard ("USCG") under NISA, impose mandatory ballast water management practices for all vessels equipped with ballast water tanks entering U.S. waters, including a limit on the concentration of living organisms in ballast water discharged in such waters. Vessels constructed after December 1, 2013 are required to have a USCG-approved BTW system installed, and vessels constructed prior to December 1, 2013 are required to have a BTW system installed on the first scheduled dry-dock after January 1, 2016. As of January 2022, there are approximately 46 USCG-approved BTW systems, and additional systems are currently under review or testing. Because approvals were initially slow to be given, individual vessel implementation schedules have been extended in cases where vessel owners have demonstrated that compliance is not technologically feasible. Some of our vessels which adopted the BWT technology in an early stage are in the process of upgrading the treatment systems to meet the standards set by USCG. The compliance deadline for these vessels was extended by the USCG considering the early installation.

The USCG regulations also require vessels to maintain a vessel-specific ballast water management plan that addresses training and safety procedures, fouling maintenance and sediment removal procedures. Individual U.S. states have also enacted laws to address invasive species through ballast water and hull cleaning management and permitting requirements.

*Clean Air Act*

The Clean Air Act (the "CAA"), and its implementing regulations impose requirements on our vessels regarding vapor control and establish recovery requirements for cleaning fuel tanks and conducting other operations in regulated port areas. In addition, the EPA has adopted standards pursuant to the CAA concerning air emissions that apply to certain engines installed on U.S. vessels and to marine diesel fuels produced and distributed in the United States. These standards are consistent with Annex VI of MARPOL and mandate significant reductions for vessel emissions of particulate matter, sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides.

The CAA also requires states to draft State Implementation Plans ("SIPs"), designed to attain national health-based air quality standards in primarily major metropolitan and industrial areas. Several SIPs regulate emissions from degassing

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

operations by requiring the installation of vapor control equipment on vessels. For example, California has enacted regulations that apply to ocean-going vessels' engines when operating within 24 miles of the California coast and require operators to use low sulfur distillate fuels. California has also approved regulations to reduce emissions from diesel auxiliary engines on certain ocean-going vessels while in California ports, including container ship fleets that make 25 or more annual visits to California ports. The rules require that every regulated vessel coming into an applicable California port either use shore power (e.g., plug into the local electrical grid) or a control technology approved by the California Air Resources Board to reduce harmful emissions. The new rules do not go into effect until January 1, 2023. These, and potential future federal and state requirements may increase our capital expenditures and operating costs while in applicable ports. As with other U.S. environmental laws, failure to comply with the CAA may subject us to enforcement action, including payment of civil or criminal penalties and citizen suits.

***Canada***

Canada has established a complex regulatory enforcement system under the jurisdiction of various ministries and departments for preventing and responding to a marine pollution incident. The principal statutes of this system prescribe measures to prevent pollution, mandate remediation of marine pollution, and create civil, administrative and quasi-criminal liabilities for those responsible for a marine pollution incident.

*Canada Shipping Act, 2001*

The Canada Shipping Act, 2001 ("CSA 2001"), is Canada's primary legislation governing marine transport, pollution and safety. CSA 2001 applies to all vessels operating in Canadian waters and in the Exclusive Economic Zone of Canada. CSA 2001 requires shipowners to have in place an arrangement with an approved pollution response organization. Vessels must carry a declaration, which identifies the vessel's insurer and confirms that an arrangement with a response organization is in place. CSA 2001 also makes it a strict liability offense to discharge from a vessel a pollutant, including, among other things, oil. Vessels must have a shipboard oil pollution plan and implement the same in respect of an oil pollution incident. CSA 2001 provides the authorities with broad discretionary powers to enforce its requirements, and violations of CSA 2001 requirements can result in significant administrative and quasi-criminal penalties. CSA 2001 authorizes the detention of a vessel where there are reasonable grounds for believing that the vessel caused marine pollution or that an offense has been committed. Canada's Department of Transport has also enacted regulations on ballast water management under CSA 2001. These regulations require the use of management practices, including mid-ocean ballast water exchange. Each of our vessels is currently CSA 2001 compliant.

*Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999*

The Canadian Environmental Protection Act (the "CEPA"), regulates water pollution, including disposal at sea and the management of hazardous waste. CEPA prohibits the disposal or incineration of substances at sea except with a permit issued under CEPA, the importation or exportation of a substance for disposal at sea without a permit, and the loading on a ship of a substance for disposal at sea without a permit. Contravention of CEPA can result in administrative and quasi-criminal penalties, which may be increased if damage to the environment results and the person acted intentionally or recklessly. A vessel also may be seized or detained for contravention of CEPA's prohibitions. Costs and expenses of measures taken to remedy a condition or mitigate damage resulting from an offense are also recoverable. CEPA establishes liability to the Canadian government authorities that incur costs related to restoration of the environment, or to the prevention or remedying of environmental damage, or an environmental emergency. Limited defenses are provided but generally do not cover violations arising from ordinary vessel operations.

*Marine Liability Act*

The Marine Liability Act ("MLA"), is the principal legislation dealing with liability of shipowners and operators in relation to passengers, cargo, pollution and property damage. The MLA implements various international maritime conventions and creates strict liability for a vessel owner for damages from oil pollution from a ship, as well as for the costs and expenses incurred for clean-up and preventive measures. Both governments and private parties can pursue vessel owners for damages sustained or incurred as a result of such an incident. Although the act does provide some limited defenses, they are generally not available for spills or pollution incidents arising out of the routine operation of a vessel. The act limits the overall liability of a vessel owner to amounts that are determined by the tonnage of the containership. The MLA also provides for the creation of a maritime lien over foreign vessels for unpaid invoices to ship suppliers operating in Canada.

*Wildlife Protection*

The Migratory Birds Convention Act ("MBCA"), implements Canada's obligations under a bilateral treaty between the United States and Great Britain (on behalf of Canada) designed to protect migrating birds that cross North American land and water areas. The MBCA prohibits the deposit of any substance that is harmful to migratory birds in any waters or

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

area frequented by migratory birds. A foreign vessel involved in a violation may be detained within Canada's Exclusive Economic Zone with the consent of the attorney general. The Fisheries Act prohibits causing the death of fish or the harmful alteration, disruption or destruction of fish habitat or the deposit of a deleterious substance in waters frequented by fish. The owner of a deleterious substance, the person having control of the substance and the person causing the spill must report the spill and must take all reasonable measures to prevent or remedy adverse effects resulting from a spill. The Species at Risk Act protects endangered aquatic species and migratory birds and their designated critical habitat. Violations of these Acts can be committed by a person or a vessel and may result in significant administrative and quasi-criminal penalties.

***China***

Prior to our vessels entering any ports in the PRC, we are required to enter into pollution clean-up agreements with pollution response companies approved by the PRC. Through a local agency arrangement, we have contracted with approved companies. These pollution clean-up agreements are not required if the vessel is only passing through PRC waters.

China has established a coastal emission control area (ECA) and inland emission control areas that cap sulfur content of marine fuels. The coastal ECA extends 12 nautical miles from the baseline of Chinese territorial waters. Marine fuels used by seagoing vessels entering the inland emission control areas shall not exceed 0.10% sulfur, from January 1, 2020.

Authorities in Hong Kong and Taiwan have also imposed similar cap on sulfur content of fuels consumed by vessels calling ports in their respective territories.

Mirroring the IMO and EU's efforts to monitor and measure carbon footprint from shipping, China introduced its own regulation to monitor energy consumption from ships operating in Chinese ports. Beginning January 1, 2019, all vessels entering or leaving ports in China report to authorities in prescribed format. All our vessels trading in Chinese ports are currently complying with the local regulatory requirements.

***European Union Requirements***

In waters of the EU, our vessels are subject to regulation by EU-level legislation, including directives implemented by the various member states through laws and regulations of these requirements. These laws and regulations prescribe measures, among others, to prevent pollution, protect the environment and support maritime safety. For instance, the EU has adopted directives that require member states to refuse access to their ports to certain sub-standard vessels, according to various factors, such as the vessel's condition, flag, and number of previous detentions (Directive 2009/16/EC on Port State Control as amended and supplemented from time to time). Member states must, among other things, inspect minimum percentages of vessels using their ports annually (based on an inspection "share" of the relevant member state of the total number of inspections to be carried out within the EU and the Paris Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control region), inspect all vessels which are due for a mandatory inspection (based, among other things, on their type, age, risk profile and the time of their last inspection) and carry out more frequent inspections of vessels with a high risk profile. If deficiencies are found that are clearly hazardous to safety, health or the environment, the state is required to detain the vessel or stop loading or unloading until the deficiencies are addressed. Member states are also required to implement their own separate systems of proportionate penalties for breaches of these standards.

Our vessels are also subject to inspection by appropriate classification societies. Classification societies typically establish and maintain standards for the construction and classification of vessels, supervise that construction in accordance with such standards, and carry out regular surveys of ships in service to ensure compliance with such standards. The EU has adopted legislation (Regulation (EC) No 391/2009 and Directive 2009/15/EC, as amended and supplemented from time to time) that provides member states with greater authority and control over classification societies, including the ability to seek to suspend or revoke the authority of classification societies that are negligent in their duties. The EU requires member states to monitor these organizations' compliance with EU inspection requirements and to suspend any organization whose safety and pollution prevention performance becomes unsatisfactory.

The EU's directive on the sulfur content of fuels (Directive (EU) 2016/802, which consolidates Directive 1999/32/EC and its various amendments) restricts the maximum sulfur content of marine fuels used in vessels operating in EU member states' territorial seas, exclusive economic zones and pollution control zones. The directive provides for more stringent rules on maximum sulfur content of marine fuels applicable in specific Sulfur Emission Control Areas ("SECAs"), such as the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, including the English Channel. Further sea areas may be designated as SECAs in the future by the IMO in accordance with Annex VI of MARPOL. Under this directive, we may be required to make expenditures to comply with the sulfur fuel content limits in the marine fuel our vessels use in order to avoid delays or other obstructions to their operations, as well as any enforcement measures which may be imposed by the relevant member states for non-compliance with the provisions of the directive. We also may need to make other expenditures (such

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

as expenditures related to washing or filtering exhaust gases) to comply with relevant sulfur oxide emissions levels. The directive has been amended to bring the above requirements in line with Annex VI of MARPOL. It also makes certain of these requirements more stringent. These and other related requirements may require additional capital expenditures and increase our operating costs.

Through Directive 2005/35/EC (as amended by Directive 2009/123/EC and as further amended and supplemented from time to time), the EU requires member states to cooperate to detect pollution discharges and impose criminal sanctions for certain pollution discharges committed intentionally, recklessly or by serious negligence and to initiate proceedings against ships at their next port of call following the discharge. Penalties may include fines and civil and criminal penalties. Directive 2000/59/EC (as amended and supplemented from time to time) requires all ships (except for warships, naval auxiliary or other state-owned or state-operated ships on non-commercial service), irrespective of flag, calling at, or operating within, ports of member states to deliver all ship-generated waste and cargo residues to port reception facilities. Under the directive, a fee is payable by the ships for the use of the port reception facilities, including the treatment and disposal of the waste. The ships may be subject to an inspection for verification of their compliance with the requirements of the directive and penalties may be imposed for their breach.

The EU also authorizes member states to adopt the IMO's Bunker Convention, discussed above, that imposes strict liability on shipowners for pollution damage caused by spills of oil carried as fuel in vessels' bunkers and requires vessels of a certain size to maintain financial security to cover any liability for such damage. Most EU member states have ratified the Bunker Convention.

The EU has adopted a regulation (EU Ship Recycling Regulation (1257/2013)) which sets forth rules relating to vessel recycling and management of hazardous materials on vessels. The regulation contains requirements for the recycling of vessels at approved recycling facilities that must meet certain requirements, so as to minimize the adverse effects of recycling on human health and the environment. The regulation also contains rules for the control and proper management of hazardous materials on vessels and prohibits or restricts the installation or use of certain hazardous materials on vessels. The regulation seeks to facilitate the ratification of the IMO's Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, 2009**.** The regulation applies to vessels flying the flag of a member state and certain of its provisions apply to vessels flying the flag of a third country calling at a port or anchorage of a member state. For example, when calling at a port or anchorage of a member state, a vessel flying the flag of a third country will be required, among other things, to have on board an inventory of hazardous materials which complies with the requirements of the new regulation and the vessel must be able to submit to the relevant authorities of that member state a copy of a statement of compliance issued by the relevant authorities of the country of the vessel's flag verifying the inventory. The regulation entered into force on December 30, 2013, although certain of its provisions are to apply at different stages, with certain of them applicable from December 31, 2020. Pursuant to this regulation, the EU Commission adopted the first version of a European List of approved ship recycling facilities meeting the requirements of the regulation, as well as four further implementing decisions dealing with certification and other administrative requirements set out in the regulation.

The EU is considering other proposals to further regulate vessel operations. The EU has adopted an Integrated Maritime Policy for the purposes of achieving a more coherent approach to maritime issues through coordination between different maritime sectors and integration of maritime policies. The Integrated Maritime Policy has sought to promote the sustainable development of the European maritime economy and to protect the marine environment through cross-sector and cross-border cooperation of maritime participants. The EU Commission's proposals included, among other items, the development of environmentally sound end-of-life ship dismantling requirements (as described above in respect of the EU Ship Recycling Regulation (1257/2013)), promotion of the use of shore-side electricity by ships at berth in EU ports to reduce air emissions, and consideration of options for EU legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from maritime transport. The European Maritime Safety Agency has been established to provide technical support to the EU Commission and member states in respect of EU legislation pertaining to maritime safety, pollution and security. The EU, any individual country or other competent authority may adopt additional legislation or regulations applicable to us and our operations.

**Other Greenhouse Gas Legislation**

The Paris Agreement, which was adopted in 2015 by a large number of countries and entered into force in November 2016, deals with greenhouse gas emission reduction measures and targets from 2020 to limit the global average temperature increase to well below 2˚ Celsius above pre-industrial levels. International shipping was not included in this agreement, but it is expected that its adoption may lead to regulatory changes in relation to curbing greenhouse gas emissions from shipping.

The IMO, EU, Canada, the United States and other individual countries, states and provinces are evaluating various measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping, which may include some combination of market-based instruments, a carbon tax or other mandatory reduction measures. The EU adopted Regulation (EU)

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

2015/757 concerning the monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions from vessels (the "MRV Regulation"), which entered into force in July 2015 (as amended by Regulation (EU) 2016/2071). The MRV Regulation applies to all vessels over 5,000 gross tonnage (except for a few types, including, but not limited to, warships and fish-catching or fish-processing vessels), irrespective of flag, in respect of carbon dioxide emissions released during voyages within the EU as well as EU incoming and outgoing voyages. The first reporting period commenced on January 1, 2018. The monitoring, reporting and verification system adopted by the MRV Regulation may be the precursor to a market-based mechanism to be adopted in the future. The EU has determined that maritime shipping will be included in the EU Emissions Trading System as from 2024 in the absence of a comparable system operating under the IMO. This will result in additional costs to us as ship owners if the commercial operators of our ships (i.e., the charterer or party responsible for the purchase of fuel, choice of cargo, route and speed) are not held responsible for these costs under the proposed EU regulations.

The European Commission has launched a "Fit for 55" package of proposals intended to reduce the EU's total GHG emissions by 55% by 2030, with the ultimate goal to achieve full EU decarbonization by 2050. As a result, shipping is likely to face new stringent EU regulations. The proposal includes following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *The European Trading System Directive* - Shipping will become subject to the Emission Trading Scheme ('ETS'), with the ships presently reporting emissions under the EU MRV regulation required to purchase carbon emission credits. Under the ETS, every year companies must purchase enough allowances in order to cover the total amount of their CO2 emissions in that year. At the end of each year they must surrender those allowances. Each allowance corresponds to 1 ton of CO2 and the price of 1 allowance was EUR 97.11 on March 2, 2023. If companies can limit their allowances below the amount covered by the allowances they purchased, they can sell their unused allowances. By including the shipping sector in the ETS the EU intends to signal that investments in energy efficiency are more cost-efficient than paying for the price of carbon emissions and hence support decarbonization. All intra-EU emissions will be included, but only 50% of the emissions for voyages from and to a third country when arriving in or departing from the EU, respectively. Non-compliance is punishable by fines and could eventually lead to a ban from EU waters. Shipping companies, particularly those, such as ourselves, whose administering bodies are based outside the EU, will likely face increased administrative and compliance costs once the proposals are enacted. It remains to be seen what form the enactments will take when the final text of the EU ETS is published. On December 18, 2022, provisional agreement was reached by the EU Council and EU Parliament (the two EU legislative bodies) which provides for a gradual introduction of obligations for shipping companies. Specifically, they will be obliged to surrender allowances corresponding to only 40% of their verified emissions for 2024, 70% for 2025 and 100% as from 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *The Fuel EU Maritime Regulation* - This is a new regulation coming into effect in 2025, imposing life cycle GHG footprint requirements on the energy used onboard ships. It will apply to the same ships that are covered by the EU MRV regulation and will, in addition to CO2, cover methane and nitrous oxide, all in a well-to-wake perspective. The GHG intensity of the energy used will be required to improve by 2% in 2025 relative to 2020, ramping up to 75% by 2050. Credits will be granted for energy generated on board, such as by wind power. The regulation will also require container and passenger vessels to connect to shore power from 2030 for stays longer than two hours. Same as for the ETS, non-compliance may lead to fines and being banned from EU waters. While this Regulation has not yet been adopted, it appears from the Parliament's proposed amendments that the required GHG intensity will be 20% as of 2035, 38 % from 2040, 64 % as of 2045 and 80% as of 2050. The EU Parliament's amendments to the proposed Regulation also introduce a target of 2% for the use of renewable fuels of non-biological origin from 2030.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** *The Alternative Fuels Infrastructure* **-** This regulation is an update of an existing directive and will require EU member states to ramp up the availability of LNG by 2025 and onshore electrical power supply by 2030 in core EU ports.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *The Energy Taxation Directive* **-** This directive is being revised to remove the tax exemption for conventional fuels used between EU ports as of 1 January 2023 resulting in a significant increase in their price. International bunker for extra-EU voyages remains tax exempt. For heavy fuel oil, the new tax rate will be approximately €37 per tonne.

Any passage of climate control legislation or other regulatory initiatives by the IMO, EU, Canada, the United States or other individual jurisdictions where we operate, that restrict emissions of greenhouse gases from vessels, could require us to make significant capital expenditures and may materially increase our operating costs.

**Other Regions**

We may be subject to environmental and other regulations that have been or may become adopted in other regions of the world that may impose obligations on our containership and/or power generation businesses and may increase our

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

costs to own and operate them. Compliance with these requirements may require significant expenditures on our part and may materially increase our operating costs.

**Vessel Security Regulations**

Since September 2001, there have been a variety of initiatives intended to enhance vessel security. In November 2002, the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (the "MTSA"), came into effect. To implement certain portions of the MTSA, the United States Coast Guard has issued regulations requiring the implementation of certain security requirements aboard vessels operating in U.S. waters. Similarly, amendments to SOLAS created a new chapter of the convention dealing specifically with maritime security, which came into effect in July 2004. The new chapter imposes various detailed security obligations on vessels and port authorities, most of which are contained in the International Ship and Port Facilities Security Code ("ISPS Code"). Among the various requirements are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• on-board installation of automatic information systems, to enhance vessel-to-vessel and vessel-to-shore communications;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• on-board installation of ship security alert systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the development of vessel security plans; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• compliance with flag state security certification requirements.

The United States Coast Guard regulations, intended to align with international maritime security standards, exempt non-U.S. vessels from MTSA vessel security measures if such vessels have on board a valid International Ship Security Certificate, that attests to the vessel's compliance with SOLAS security requirements and the ISPS Code. Our existing vessels have implemented the various security measures addressed by the MTSA, SOLAS and the ISPS Code. Any failure to maintain such certifications may subject us to increased liability and may result in denial of access to, or detention in, certain ports. Furthermore, compliance with the ISPS Code requires us to incur certain costs. Although such costs have not been material to date, if new or more stringent regulations relating to the ISPS Code are adopted by the IMO and the flag states, these requirements could require significant additional capital expenditures or otherwise increase the costs of our operations.

**Currency control regulations**

APR Energy operates in a number of developing jurisdictions which may, from time to time, impose currency controls such that APR's ability to repatriate revenue from that jurisdiction is substantially delayed and can result in significant increased costs. Market conditions may not provide APR with the opportunity to cover such conditions in its contracts. APR closely monitors government policies relating to currency controls and mitigates the effects whenever possible.

**<u>Taxation of the Company</u>**

**United States Taxation**

The following is a discussion of the expected material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to us. This discussion is based upon the provisions of the Code, applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, legislative history, judicial authority and administrative interpretations, as of the date of this Annual Report, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect or are subject to different interpretations. Changes in these authorities may cause the U.S. federal income tax considerations to vary substantially from those described below.

The following discussion is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to us. No ruling has been requested from the IRS regarding any matter affecting us. The statements made herein may not be sustained by a court if contested by the IRS.

***Taxation of Operating Income***

We expect that substantially all of our gross income will be attributable to the transportation of cargo. For this purpose, gross income attributable to transportation ("Transportation Income"), includes income from the use (or hiring or leasing for use) of a vessel to transport cargo and the performance of services directly related to the use of any vessel to transport cargo and, thus, includes time charter and bareboat charter income.

Fifty percent (50%) of Transportation Income attributable to transportation that either begins or ends, but that does not both begin and end, in the United States ("U.S. Source International Transportation Income"), is considered to be derived from sources within the United States. Transportation Income attributable to transportation that both begins and ends in the United States ("U.S. Source Domestic Transportation Income"), is considered to be 100% derived from sources within the United States. Transportation Income attributable to transportation exclusively between non-U.S. destinations is

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

considered to be 100% derived from sources outside the United States. Transportation Income derived from sources outside the United States generally is not subject to U.S. federal income tax.

We believe that we have not earned any U.S. Source Domestic Transportation Income, and we expect that we will not earn any such income in future years. However, certain of our activities give rise to U.S. Source International Transportation Income, and future expansion of our operations could result in an increase in the amount of our U.S. Source International Transportation Income. Unless the exemption from tax under Section 883 of the Code (the "Section 883 Exemption"), applies, our U.S. Source International Transportation Income generally will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation under either the net basis and branch profits tax or the 4% gross basis tax, each of which is discussed below.

***The Section 883 Exemption***

In general, the Section 883 Exemption provides that if a non-U.S. corporation satisfies the requirements of Section 883 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (the "Section 883 Regulations"), it will not be subject to the net basis and branch profits taxes or the 4% gross basis tax described below on its U.S. Source International Transportation Income. The Section 883 Exemption does not apply to U.S. Source Domestic Transportation Income.

A non-U.S. corporation will qualify for the Section 883 Exemption if, among other things, it (1) is organized in a jurisdiction outside the United States that grants an exemption from tax to U.S. corporations on international Transportation Income (an "Equivalent Exemption"), (2) satisfies one of three ownership tests ("Ownership Tests"), described in the Section 883 Regulations and (3) meets certain substantiation, reporting and other requirements.

We are organized under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The U.S. Treasury Department has recognized the Republic of the Marshall Islands as a jurisdiction that grants an Equivalent Exemption. We also believe that we will be able to satisfy all substantiation, reporting and other requirements necessary to qualify for the Section 883 Exemption. Consequently, our U.S. Source International Transportation Income should be exempt from U.S. federal income taxation provided we satisfy the Ownership Tests and provided we file a U.S. federal income tax return to claim the Section 883 Exemption. We believe that we currently should satisfy the Ownership Tests because our common shares represent more than 50% of the vote and value of all classes of stock and are primarily and regularly traded on an established securities market in the United States (and are not treated as closely held) within the meaning of the Section 883 Regulations. We can give no assurance, however, that changes in the trading, ownership or value of our common shares will permit us to continue to qualify for the Section 883 Exemption.

***The Net Basis and Branch Profits Tax***

If the Section 883 Exemption does not apply, our U.S. Source International Transportation Income may be treated as effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States "Effectively Connected Income", if we have a fixed place of business in the United States and substantially all of our U.S. Source International Transportation Income is attributable to regularly scheduled transportation or, in the case of bareboat charter income, is attributable to a fixed place of business in the United States.

Generally, we believe that we do not have a fixed place of business in the United States. As a result, we believe that substantially none of our U.S. Source International Transportation Income would be treated as Effectively Connected Income. While we do not expect to acquire a fixed place of business in the United States, there is no assurance that we will not have, or will not be treated as having, a fixed place of business in the United States in the future, which may, depending on the nature of our future operations, result in our U.S. Source International Transportation Income being treated as Effectively Connected Income.

Any income we earn that is treated as Effectively Connected Income would be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax (the highest statutory rate currently is 21%) and a 30% branch profits tax imposed under Section 884 of the Code. In addition, a 30% branch interest tax could be imposed on certain interest paid, or deemed paid, by us.

If we were to sell a vessel that has produced Effectively Connected Income, we generally would be subject to the net basis and branch profits taxes with respect to the gain recognized up to the amount of certain prior deductions for depreciation that reduced Effectively Connected Income. Otherwise, we would not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to gain realized on the sale of a vessel, provided the sale is not considered to occur in the United States under U.S. federal income tax principles.

***The 4% Gross Basis Tax***

If the Section 883 Exemption does not apply and we are not subject to the net basis and branch profits taxes described above, we generally will be subject to a 4% U.S. federal income tax on our gross U.S. Source International Transportation Income without the benefit of deductions. We estimate that the U.S. federal income tax on such U.S. Source International Transportation Income would be approximately $2 million if the Section 883 Exemption and the net basis and

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

branch profits taxes do not apply, based on the amount of our gross U.S. Source International Transportation Income we have earned in prior years. However, many of our time charter contracts contain provisions in which the charterers would be obligated to bear this cost. The amount of such tax for which we would be liable for in any year will depend upon the amount of income we earn from voyages into or out of the United States in such year, however, which is not within our complete control.

**Hong Kong Taxation**

The following is a discussion of the expected material Hong Kong profits tax considerations applicable to us. This discussion is based upon the provisions of the Inland Revenue Ordinance (Cap. 112) (the "IRO") as of the date of this Annual Report, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, and subject to different interpretations by the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong (the "IRD"). Changes to the IRO or other relevant authorities may cause the Hong Kong profits tax considerations to vary substantially from those described below.

The following discussion is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the Hong Kong profits tax considerations applicable to us. We believe Seaspan's central management and control is in Hong Kong.

***Profits tax***

In general, the IRO provides that profits tax shall be charged for each year of assessment on every person (which includes corporations) carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong in respect of such person's assessable profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong for that year from such trade, profession or business (excluding profits arising from the sale of capital assets) as ascertained in accordance with the IRO. In ascertaining the chargeable profits, applicable deductions are allowed for all costs and expenses to the extent they are incurred by that person during the relevant basis period in the production of chargeable profits.

Under the two-tiered profits tax rates regime in Hong Kong, for corporations, the prevailing profits tax rate for the first HK$2 million of assessable profits will be 8.25% and assessable profits above HK$2 million will continue to be subject to the rate of 16.5%.

There are specific provisions in the IRO in relation to the ascertainment of the assessable profits of a ship-owner carrying on business in Hong Kong.

A person is deemed to be carrying on business as an owner of ships in Hong Kong if the business is normally controlled or managed in Hong Kong or the person is a corporation incorporated in Hong Kong, or any ship owned by that person calls at any location within the waters of Hong Kong (except where the IRD is convinced that the call is of a casual nature). In this context, "business as an owner of ships" means a business of chartering or operating ships.

If a corporation is deemed to be carrying on business as an owner of ships in Hong Kong, certain sums received by the corporation will be considered as relevant sums when ascertaining the assessable profits in accordance with the IRO. The relevant sums include, but are not limited to, all the sums derived from any charter hire in respect of the operation of a ship navigating solely or mainly within the waters of Hong Kong and half of the sums derived from any charter hire in respect of the operation of a ship navigating between any location within the waters of Hong Kong and any location within river trade waters.

The IRO also provides that certain sums will be considered as exempted sums, which are exempted from the determination of the relevant sums. In particular, if a ship is registered in Hong Kong, its income from the relevant carriage abroad proceeding to sea from any location within the waters of Hong Kong or any other location within those waters will be exempted.

In June 2020, the Inland Revenue (Amendment) (Ship Leasing Tax Concessions) Ordinance 2020 (the "Ship Leasing Amendment Ordinance") was enacted to provide tax concessions for qualifying ship leasing and ship leasing management businesses. Under the Ship Leasing Amendment Ordinance, a qualifying ship lessor is entitled to have its qualifying profits charged at a concessionary profits tax rate (currently set at 0% for the year of assessment commencing on or after 1 April 2020). Such tax concession applies to a corporation for a year of assessment only if (i) during the basis period for that year of assessment, (a) the central management and control of the corporation is exercised in Hong Kong, (b) the activities that produce its qualifying profits for that year are carried out in Hong Kong by the corporation; or arranged by the corporation to be carried out in Hong Kong, and (c)those activities are not carried out by a permanent establishment outside Hong Kong, and (ii) the corporation has made an election in writing, which is irrevocable, that the tax concession applies to it.

If we and/or Seaspan are deemed to be carrying on business as owners of ships in Hong Kong, and if our ships are navigating solely or mainly within the waters of Hong Kong and/or navigating between any location within the waters of

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

Hong Kong and any location within river trade waters, the relevant sums falling within the definition of the IRO are subject to the profits tax, with the exception of the exempted sums. The same will apply to our other vessel-holding subsidiaries that are registered as non-Hong Kong companies in Hong Kong (the "vessel-holding subsidiaries") under the Hong Kong's Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) (the "Companies Ordinance"). Based on our operation and our understanding of the relevant provisions of the IRO, we do not believe that our charter hire income is, nor do we expect our charter hire income to be, subject to the profits tax under the IRO, because the ships owned by us, Seaspan and/or our other vessel-holding subsidiaries are not navigating solely or mainly within the waters of Hong Kong and/or are not navigating between any location within the waters of Hong Kong and any location within river trade waters. While currently the ships owned by us, Seaspan and/or our other vessel-holding subsidiaries are not navigating solely or mainly within the waters of Hong Kong and/or are not navigating between any location within the waters of Hong Kong and any location within river trade waters, there is no assurance that these ships will not be operating within the said waters in the future, depending on the nature of our future operations.

In the event that the ships owned by us, Seaspan and/or our other vessel-holding subsidiaries do navigate solely or mainly within the waters of Hong Kong and/or navigate between any location within the waters of Hong Kong and any location within river trade waters and our charter hire income does not fall within the definition of exempted sums under the IRO, we are likely to be subject to the profits tax in respect of such income. In such circumstances, for the purpose of ascertaining the profits tax payable, the assessable profits will be calculated as the sum bearing the same ratio to the aggregate of the relevant sums earned by or accrued to the relevant company during the basis period for that year of assessment as that relevant company's total shipping profits for the basis period bear to the aggregate of the total shipping income earned by or accrued to that relevant company during that basis period for that year of assessment. However, instead of the calculating the assessable profits based on the above, the IRD may assess the profits on a fair percentage of the aggregate of the relevant sums of the relevant basis period.

In respect of other service-providing subsidiaries (which are registered as non-Hong Kong companies under the Companies Ordinance), if the services are performed in Hong Kong, the service fee income will be considered as being arising in or derived from Hong Kong and the corresponding profits will be subject to the profits tax. The profits tax payable will be calculated using the then prevailing profits tax rate.

**The People's Republic of China Taxation**

The following is a discussion of the expected material China tax considerations applicable to us. This discussion is based upon the provisions of the laws and regulations described below as in effect as of the date of this Annual Report, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, and subject to different interpretations by the relevant Chinese tax authorities. Changes to these laws and regulations may cause the Chinese tax considerations to vary substantially from those described below.

The following discussion is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the Chinese tax considerations applicable to us.

***Corporation Income Tax ("CIT")***

The relevant China tax regulation in respect of the China taxation of our voyage charter and time charter revenue is "Provisional Measures on the Collection of Tax on Non-Resident Taxpayers Engaged in International Transportation Business" (Bulletin of the State Administration of Taxation 2014, No. 37) ("Provisional Measures").

China imposes CIT on non-resident shipping companies that operate international transportation business with China. Effective from August 1, 2014, non-resident shipping companies are subject to CIT at the rate of 25% on their China-sourced taxable income derived from the provision of international transportation services. Such services are defined to include transportation of passengers, goods, mail or other items into and out of China via owned or leased ships, airplanes and shipping spaces, as well as the provision of services such as loading and unloading, warehousing and related services. Non-resident shipping companies are required to register with Chinese tax authorities and maintain sound accounting records relating to the calculation of taxes.

China-sourced income derived by us and our vessel-owning subsidiaries from voyage charter and time charter of vessels may be treated as international transportation service income and therefore would be subject to the imposition of CIT under the Provisional Measures, unless exempted from China taxation based on the China/HK Tax Treaty (as defined below).

***Value-added Tax ("VAT")***

Under the current Chinese VAT regulation, non-resident enterprises that derive income from provision of international transportation services to Chinese customers are subject to VAT, unless exempted under the applicable tax treaty. The applicable VAT rate is 9% for transportation services and 6% for storage and loading/unloading services. VAT

is generally withheld by the Chinese customers but non-resident shipping companies may also perform their own VAT filings if they have already registered with the competent tax authorities.

***Tax exemption***

Article 8(1) of the Arrangement between Mainland and Hong Kong for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income and its Fourth Protocol ("China/HK Tax Treaty") provide exemptions from CIT and VAT for qualifying taxpayers. Specifically, according to the China/HK Tax Treaty, China exempts from tax (including CIT and VAT) income and profits derived by a Hong Kong tax resident conducting international transportation business in China.

The IRD issued us tax residency certificates in Hong Kong with respect to tax years ending 31 December 2020, 2021, and 2022, which means we should be treated as a qualifying taxpayer under the China/HK Tax Treaty and qualify for the exemptions for those tax years. We are in the process of obtaining tax residency certificates for future tax years.

---

These vessels will commence long-term charters with leading global liner companies, some of which are subject to vessel purchase options or obligations at the conclusion of their respective charters.

*Vessel Sales*

During the year ended December 31, 2022, Seaspan sold 10 vessels for gross proceeds of $257.1 million and recognized a loss on sale of $4.0 million. Seaspan continues to manage the ship operations of seven of these vessels pursuant to management agreements entered into in connection with the sales. As of December 31, 2022, Seaspan had also entered into an agreement for one additional vessel sale, subject to closing conditions. The sale closed in January 2023 and Seaspan for gross proceeds of $21.6 million resulting in $2.9 million gain on sale. Seaspan will continue to act as a third-party vessel manager for this vessel.

*Financing Developments*

In February 2022, Seaspan closed its new $250.0 million 3-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the "2022 RCF"), which replaces a $150.0 million 2-year unsecured revolving credit facility. The 2022 RCF includes several new lenders and improvements driven by Seaspan's improving credit quality, including greater liquidity, tenor and pricing.

In May 2022, Seaspan entered into a note purchase agreement to issue $500.0 million of sustainability-linked, senior secured notes (the "Senior Secured Notes") in a US private placement. The Senior Secured Notes comprise three series,

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

each ranking pari passu with Seaspan's existing and future portfolio vessel financing program. The Series A, Series B and Series C Senior Secured Notes were issued in August 2022, with interest rates ranging from 5.15% to 5.49% and maturities from September 2032 to September 2037. The Senior Secured Notes contain certain sustainability features, and are subject to adjustment based on Seaspan's achievements relative to certain key performance indicators. The financing is secured by Seaspan's vessel portfolio financing program. The Senior Secured Notes were issued on August 3, 2022. During August, Seaspan partially used proceeds from the financing to pay down approximately $240 million of existing debt under the portfolio financing program, with the remaining proceeds intended to be used to fund capital expenditures, transaction costs, and for other general corporate purposes.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, Seaspan exercised options to purchase four 10,000 TEU vessels at a predetermined purchase price of $52.7 million per vessel. The purchase for one vessel was completed in January 2023 and the purchase for the remaining three vessels are expected to complete in April through September 2023.

In October 2022, Seaspan completed its planned upgrade of a previously signed $1.1 billion bank loan financing into a $1.5 billion ECA-Backed JOLCO financing (the "Financing Upgrade"). Proceeds remain intended to finance Seaspan's package of 15 7,000 TEU newbuild vessels. This marks Seaspan's third ECA-JOLCO transaction. The Financing Upgrade increases the proceeds raised and significantly lowers the cost of capital through partnership with Sinosure, a Chinese ECA, and a tranche of fixed-rate capital from Japanese investors. The financing carries a 12-year tenor.

*Enhancement of the Company's Vessel Portfolio Financing Program*

On March 3, 2023, the Company entered into amendments and restatements of the senior secured loan facilities and intercreditor and proceeds agreement that comprise its vessel portfolio financing program to, among other things, (i) increase the commitments under the bank loan facilities by $250.0 million, $200.0 million of which were drawn immediately and $50.0 of which may be drawn by the Company on or before September 3, 2023, (ii) increase the amount of total borrowing permitted relative to total assets from 65% to 75%, (iii) replace the London Interbank Offered Rate with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate as the reference interest rate, and (iv) extend the maturities of tranches due in 2026 and 2027 by approximately two years.

*Fairfax Warrant Exercise*

In April 2022, Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited ("Fairfax") exercised warrants to purchase 25.0 million common shares of Atlas. The warrants, which were originally issued on July 16, 2018, had an exercise price of $8.05 per common share for an aggregate exercise price of $201.3 million.

In January 2023, Fairfax exercised warrants to purchase 6.0 million common shares of Atlas. Five million of the warrants were originally issued on April 30, 2021 and had and exercise price of $13.00 per common share and one million of the warrants were originally issued on June 11, 2021 and had an exercise price of $13.71 per common share. The gross aggregate proceeds for the 6.0 million warrants was $78.7 million. Immediately following this 6.0 million exercise of warrants, Fairfax and its affiliates held in aggregate 130,849,212 common shares, representing 45.5% of the then issued and outstanding common shares of Atlas. Fairfax has no outstanding warrants or Fairfax has now exercised all of its warrants.

*Mobile Power Generation Developments*

APR Energy entered into a contract to provide a customer with up to 226 MW of gas power generation capacity in Itaguaí, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, for a minimum of 12 consecutive months which commenced in May 2022. In March 2022, the term of this contract was extended to 44 months and the location of the plant was moved to Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Brazil. Additionally, APR Energy entered into a contract with a US counterparty to rent to the counterparty five turbines representing 120 MW for a minimum of 12 consecutive months which commenced in February 2022 and was successfully completed on February 1, 2023. APR Energy also entered into a contract with Imperial Irrigation District ("IID") for three turbines to provide grid stabilization solutions to Southern California for four months commencing June 1, 2022. The contract with IID represents its first renewal with APR Energy and was successfully completed in September 2022. In January 2023, APR Energy entered into an extension with IID for a three year term commencing on January 1, 2023. In October 2022, APR successfully completed its Mexicali dry-lease contracts.

On December 13, 2022, APR Energy closed a sale of all of the shares of its Argentina entity, APR Energy SrL to Enerinv SrL and Enerarge SrL. As of the closing, APR Energy has no additional interests in Argentina.

In May 2022, APR Energy voluntarily prepaid a term loan facility with an outstanding balance of $100.0 million.

In June 2022, APR Energy amended and extended its secured financing program (the "Financing Program"). The amendment lowered interest costs, extended the maturity date to 2025, and improved financial flexibility. As of June 30, 2022, the Financing Program consists of a $108.0 million term loan and a $50.0 million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility was undrawn as of June 30, 2022.

**Market Conditions** 

*Containership leasing*. Containerships play an integral role in global trade, facilitating the movement of goods around the world. GDP is an important measure of global trade, and global GDP growth is positively correlated with growth in container throughput. Container throughput has varied significantly since 2000 and was greater than 10% per annum in most years prior to the global credit crisis. In 2009, global container throughput declined by over 8% compared to the prior year, and after growing sharply in 2010 and 2011, ranged between 1.4% and 5.7% per annum between 2012 and 2017, as the global economy gradually recovered. In 2020, due to the impact of COVID-19, global economic expansion was halted in the first half of the year, but swiftly recovered in the latter half of the year and into 2021. The International Monetary Fund estimated global GDP growth rate to be 3.2% in 2022. Meanwhile, Container throughput growth rate estimated to be 0.9%, lower than previous year. With the recovery from COVID-19, both charter rates and idle rates improved significantly. The idle fleet at the end of December 2022 was approximately 2% of the global fleet, as measured by TEU, compared to approximately 0.6% of the global fleet at the end of December 2021. Charter rates for 4,250 TEU Panamax vessels, for example, were approximately $25,000 per day in December 2022, compared to approximately $87,000 per day in December 2021.

The orderbook to global fleet rate was 29% at the end of December 2022, compared with 23.3% at the end of December 2021. Approximately 70% (in terms of TEU capacity) of the current containership orderbook is for vessels 10,000 TEU and greater in size. Vessels less than 4,000 TEU represent approximately 12% of the global containership orderbook, with only 192 vessels being on-order in the segments between 4,000 TEU and 9,999 TEU.

*Power Generation.* APR Energy's market is influenced by global political and economic conditions. Declines in economic activity, slowing of growth rates and customer access to funding could impact the growth strategies of the business. Factors such as election cycles, economic downturns, fuel price variability, reliance on renewable energy and political instability all impact customer decision making in addressing their power needs, creating a certain degree of volatility. Additionally, changes in political regimes or political unrest pose potential risk to existing contracts and/or the timing of potential new contract opportunities.

Global power investment declined by approximately 10% in 2022 due to delays in new power projects and grid improvements stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, the decrease in oil prices and the movement away from carbon emissions and nuclear power. With the resurgence of the global economy upon recovery from COVID-19, global power demand and global investment in energy projects is forecasted to continue increasing over the next few decades, driven by the increasing global middle-class and its desire for reliable access to electricity and a transition to renewable energy sources from aging technologies. The largest forecast demand increases are expected in China, India, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other geographies with large populations with expected wealth increases that result in an exponential increase in demand for electric heating, cooling, cooking and home entertainment.

**Impact of Recent Developments in Ukraine**

In February 2022, as a result of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in the Russia-Ukraine Conflict, economic sanctions were imposed by the U.S., the EU, the U.K. and a number of other countries on Russian financial institutions, businesses and individuals, as well as certain regions within the Donbas region of Ukraine. While it is difficult to estimate the impact of current or future sanctions on the Company's business and financial position, these sanctions could adversely impact the Company's operations and/or financial results. In the near term, we expect increased volatility in the region due to these geopolitical events and, with the support of our customers, our vessels have ceased trading to Russia for the time being. We also anticipate we could face challenges to recruit seafarers in sufficient numbers to replace Ukrainians seafarers

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

who are not able or permitted to leave their country, given that Ukrainians constitute a significant number of our seafarers. Finally, we expect that the Russia-Ukraine Conflict may exacerbate market volatility, and may impact access to and pricing of capital. For more information regarding the risks relating to economic sanctions as a result of the Russia-Ukraine Conflict as well as the impact on retaining and sourcing our crew, see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors."

**Effects of COVID-19**

Since early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has had significant impacts on global demand on seaborne transportation, but such impacts on demand have largely subsided. On the other hand, costs of operations have increased due to COVID-19's impact on supply chains, on workers', surveyors' and other specialists' access to the shipyards to complete repairs and inspections, and on the ability to conduct crew transfers. The average daily operating cost per vessel per day for vessels on time charter for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased to $7,217 compared to $6,766 per vessel per day for the year ended December 31, 2021. To mitigate, we have made logistical changes and worked with vendors to ensure continued access to equipment and supplies. We have also intentionally delayed or altered plans for repairs and vessel projects where practicable. For our crew, we have developed and implemented extended onboard management procedures and we have prepared response plans should any crew member fall ill onboard. In addition, although embarkation and disembarkation of seafarers remains challenging and there are increased costs associated, we are conducting crew changes at ports where transfers are permitted. Management has obtained agreements from certain charterers to alter trading routes to facilitate crew changes.

During 2020, APR Energy's business was challenged by COVID-19 by the effective shutdown of government institutions in some jurisdictions, which impacted procurement processes for certain prospective projects. As economies recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, electricity demand is increasing. This increasing demand is coupled with a reduction in generation capacity from hydro-generation plants as a result of regional drought conditions and the decommissioning of thermal generation power plants as certain markets transition to renewable generation, creating shortfalls in anticipated power needs. APR Energy has secured contracts as a result of these conditions and continues to develop existing customer relationships to extend and expand its current contracts whenever possible. As of March 1, 2023, APR Energy had 19 turbines off contract (compared to four turbines off contract in March 2022), representing 490 megawatt capacity and 57.6% of the overall turbine fleet capacity.

Some of our office staff continue to work remotely, but many have started to return to our physical offices. The return to office is being done on a gradual basis, as local health authorities ease COVID-19 related restrictions. During 2022, there was no meaningful increase in costs or expenses resulting from measures to facilitate remote working.

We continuously monitor the developing situation, as well as our customers' response thereto, and make all necessary preparations to address and mitigate, to the extent possible, any further impact of COVID-19 to our company.

***Operating Results - Containership Leasing Segment***

Ownership Days are the number of days a vessel is owned and available for charter. Ownership Days On-Hire are the number of days a vessel is available to the charterer for use. The primary driver of Ownership Days is the increase or decrease in the number of vessels in our fleet.

Total Ownership days increased by 164 days for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 2021. The increase was due to the delivery of nine vessels after December 31, 2021, which contributed 1,294 days, offset by 2,645 fewer ownership days from the sale of 11 vessels. Additionally, full year benefits from the seven vessels delivered during 2021 which have full ownership days in 2022 contributed 1,515 days.

Vessel Utilization represents the number of Ownership Days On-Hire as a percentage of Total Ownership Days. The following table summarizes Seaspan's Vessel Utilization for year ended December 31, 2022, and its comparative quarters:

<sup>(1)</sup> Ownership Days for bareboat charters exclude days prior to the initial charter hire date.

<sup>(2)</sup> Unscheduled off-hire includes days related to vessels being off-charter.

Vessel Utilization decreased for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 2021. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in the number of Scheduled Dry-Docking days.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we completed dry-dockings for three 14,000 TEU vessels, one 11,920 TEU vessel, one 9,500 TEU vessel, two 8,500 TEU vessels, one 5,100 TEU vessel, two 4,500 vessels, two 4,250 vessels and two 3,500 TEU vessels. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we completed dry-dockings for four 10,000 TEU vessels, three 4,500 TEU vessels, eight 4,250 TEU vessels and three 2,500 TEU vessels.

***Operating Results – Mobile Power Generation***

Average Megawatt Capacity is the average maximum megawatts that can be generated by the power fleet. The primary driver of Average Megawatt Capacity is the increase or decrease in the number of power generating units in the power fleet. Average Megawatt On-Hire is the amount of capacity that is under contract and available to customers for use. Power Fleet Utilization represents Average Megawatt On-Hire as a percentage of Average Megawatt Capacity.

<sup>(1)</sup> Average Megawatt On-Hire is the amount of capacity that is under contract and available to the customer for use post commercial operation date.

<sup>(2)</sup> Average Megawatt Capacity is the average maximum megawatts that can be generated by the power fleet.

<sup>(3)</sup> Power fleet utilization in comparative periods has been adjusted to reflect average utilization during the quarter.

Power Fleet Utilization decreased for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease is primarily due to turbine contracts rolling off in the first and second quarter of 2022, and smaller participation in Mexico's summer peaking protocol, partially offset by the addition of Brazil project in 2022 and full year impact of a contract with a US counterparty to provide a dry lease of five turbines.

***Financial Results Summary***

*Revenue*

Revenue increased by 3.1% to $1,697.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 2021. Revenue from the Containership Leasing segment increased 5.7% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 largely driven by delivery of newbuild vessels in the current year and a full year impact of deliveries from 2021, offset by vessel sales during the year. The increase in the Containership Leasing segment was offset by decreased revenue in the Mobile Power Generation segment from lower asset utilization.

*Operating Expense* 

Operating expense increased by 0.7% to $353.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 2021. The increase in the containership segment was primarily due to four purchase options exercised now resulting in the vessels being classified as finance leases. This is offset by a decrease in our Mobile Power Generation segment driven by site demobilizations and a lower inventory obsolescence expense in the current year.

*Depreciation and Amortization Expense* 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 3.4% to $379.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 2021. The increase was primarily due to the delivery of seven newbuild vessels and the lease reclassification from operating to financing for four vessels, offset by the impact of ten vessel sales in the year. This is offset by a decrease in our Mobile Power Generation segment due to a decrease in deferred job costs depreciation as the projects were fully amortized.

*General and Administrative Expense* 

General and administrative expense increased by 36.5% to $108.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in general corporate expenses including non-cash share-based compensation and professional fees incurred by the special committee to evaluate the take-private proposal from Poseidon.

*Operating Lease Expense*

Operating lease expense decreased by 15.9% to $123.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 2021. The decreases were primarily due to the lease reclassification from operating to financing as a result of pre-existing purchase options being exercised in January 2022 through August 2022 for four vessels.

*Interest Expense* 

Interest expense increased by $38.3 million to $235.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to higher interest rates, higher balances related to other financing arrangements from vessel deliveries and an increase in finance leases (which were previously classified as operating leases).

*Gain on Derivative Instruments*

The change in fair value of financial instruments resulted in a gain of $120.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to a gain of $14.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The gain is primarily due to an increase in the LIBOR forward curve as a result of central bank monetary policy changes and offset by swap settlements

The fair value of our interest rate swaps are subject to change based on our company specific credit risk included in the discount factor and current swap curve, including its relative steepness. In determining the fair value, these factors are based on current information available to us. These factors are expected to change through the life of the instruments, causing the fair value to fluctuate significantly due to the large notional amounts and long-term nature of our derivative instruments. As these factors may change, the fair value of the instruments is an estimate and may deviate significantly from the actual cash settlements realized during the term of the instruments. Our valuation techniques have not changed, and we believe that such techniques are consistent with those followed by other valuation practitioners.

The fair value of our interest rate swaps is most significantly impacted by changes in the yield curve. Based on the current notional amount and tenor of our interest rate swap portfolio, a one percent parallel shift in the overall yield curve is expected to result in a change in the fair value of our interest rate swaps of approximately $62.4 million. Actual changes in the yield curve are not expected to occur equally at all points and changes to the curve may be isolated to periods of time. This steepening or flattening of the yield curve may result in greater or lesser changes to the fair value of our financial instruments in a particular period than would occur had the entire yield curve changed equally at all points.

The fair value of our interest rate swaps is also impacted by changes in our company-specific credit risk included in the discount factor. We discount our derivative instruments with reference to the corporate Bloomberg industry yield curves. Based on the current notional amount and tenor of our swap portfolio, a one percent change in the discount factor is expected to result in a nominal change in fair value.

The fair value of the Fairfax derivative put instruments at each reporting period was subject to changes in our company specific credit risk and the risk-free yield curve. With the Amendment of the Fairfax Notes in June 2021, the put option was eliminated.

Our derivative instruments, including interest rate swap and put instruments were marked to market with all changes in the fair value of these instruments recorded in "(Gain) Loss on Derivative instruments" in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

**B. Liquidity and Capital Resources**

**Liquidity**

The Company's business model is focused on generating stable long-term cash flows, and using that predictability to reduce overall cost of capital. Maintaining strong liquidity is a core pillar of the Company's financial strategy, allowing it to take advantage of attractive opportunities to deploy capital quickly as they arise through economic and industry cycles. A strong base of liquidity also allows the Company to mitigate short-term market shocks and maintain consistent distributions to its shareholders. The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, undrawn credit facilities, committed financings for its newbuild vessels, cash flows from operations, capital recycling, as well as access to public and private capital markets.

Consolidated liquidity as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were comprised of the following:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| (in millions of USD) | **December 31,** | **December 31,** | **Change** |
|  | **2022** | **2021** | $**%** |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $280.0 | $288.6 | (3.0)% |
| Undrawn revolving credit facilities<sup>(1)</sup> | 700.0 | 600.0 | 16.7% |
| Total liquidity | $980.0 | $888.6 | 10.3% |
| Total committed and undrawn newbuild financings | 6120.9 | 5974.7 | 2.4% |
| Total liquidity including newbuild financings | 7100.9 | 6863.3 | 3.5% |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup>Undrawn revolving credit facilities as of December 31, 2022 included $650.0 million (2021 - $550.0 million) available from Seaspan and $50.0 million (2021 - $50.0 million) available from APR Energy.

As of December 31, 2022, consolidated liquidity was sufficient to meet near-term requirements. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had consolidated liquidity of $980.0 million, excluding $6,120.9 million of committed but undrawn financings related to our newbuild vessels, which represents an increase from $888.6 million in the prior 2021 period.

***Unencumbered Assets***

The Company's growing base of unencumbered assets is a fundamental objective to achieving an investment grade credit rating, as well as a potential source of liquidity through secured financing or asset sales. Over the long-term, the Company expects its unencumbered asset base to grow as it enhances its presence in the unsecured credit markets, and also naturally as secured borrowings mature or are prepaid.

In the short-term, the Company expects that it's unencumbered asset base may fluctuate as unencumbered assets may be sold or financed from time to time, as part of normal course management of assets and liquidity.

The following table provides a summary of our unencumbered fleet and net book value over time:

***Contracted Cash Flows***

The Company's focus on long-term contracted cash flows provides predictability and reduces liquidity risk through economic cycles. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had total gross contracted cash flows of $18.2 billion, which includes components that are accounted for differently, including i) minimum future revenues relating to operating leases with customers, ii) minimum cash flows to be received relating to financing leases with certain customers, and iii) contracted cash flows underlying leases for newbuild vessels which have not yet been delivered to customers. The following tables provides a summary of gross contracted cash flows.

As of December 31, 2022, minimum future revenues on committed operating leases were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *(in millions of USD)* | Operating lease revenue <sup>(1)</sup> |
| 2023 | $1609.6 |
| 2024 | 1545.1 |
| 2025 | 1275.7 |
| 2026 | 950.4 |
| 2027 | 516.9 |
| Thereafter | 663.3 |
|  | $6561.0 |

Minimum future revenues assume that, during the term of the lease, i) there will be no unpaid days, ii) extensions included only if exercise is our unilateral option, and iii) no lease extensions. Minimum future revenues do not reflect signed charter agreements for undelivered vessels.

As of December 31, 2022, the undiscounted minimum cash flows related to lease receivable on financing leases are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *(in millions of USD)* | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lease receivable on financing leases |
| 2023 | $96.9 |

| 2026 | 96.9 |
| 2027 | 96.9 |
| Thereafter | 1239.7 |
|  | $1724.4 |

The Company's growth strategy in recent years has included sizable success on growing its vessel fleet through vessel newbuilds. As of December 31, 2022, the gross contracted cash flows for its 58 undelivered vessels were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *(in millions of USD)* | Contracted cash flows |
| 2023 | $304.3 |
| 2024 | 841.1 |
| 2025 | 841.6 |
| 2026 | 841.6 |
| 2027 | 841.6 |
| Thereafter | 6225.4 |
|  | $9895.6 |

---

The Company's commitment to growth in recent years was achieved in line with its capital structure objectives, focusing on strengthening its balance sheet and increasing cash flows to become a platform for growth and consolidation in the containership and power generation industries.

The Company lengthened and diversified the maturity profile of its debt and diversified its sources of capital, including through innovative export credit agency (ECA) backed lease financings, bi-lateral lease financings with Chinese leasing houses, multiple notes issuances in the U.S. and Norwegian unsecured credit markets, as well as long duration secured notes issued to life insurance investors. This supported the Company's initiative to successfully achieve committed financings for its newbuild vessels program. In conjunction with its newbuild strategy and associated debt financing, the Company dramatically increased its long-term gross contracted cash flows, primarily through increasing charter lengths for its existing containership fleet and acquiring attractive second-hand containership assets coupled with long-term charter contracts.

The Company is focused on continuing to allocate capital selectively into opportunities that enhance the long-term value of the business and provide attractive risk-adjusted returns on capital, including evaluating synergistic and value-additive opportunities within the Maritime or Energy sectors to diversify and strengthen cash flow drivers.

The Company intends to focus on continuing successful deliveries of its newbuild vessels, while assessing new growth opportunities in a measured way. In conjunction, the Company intends to maintain and grow its robust liquidity position primarily through capital recycling and enhancements to its existing capital base. This capital strategy will include focus on further diversifying sources of capital for greater financial flexibility while managing leverage in alignment with its long-term targets, and growing the value of its unencumbered asset base.

The Company's primary liquidity needs include funding our investments in assets including our newbuild vessels under construction, scheduled debt and lease payments, vessel purchase commitments, potential future exercises of vessel purchase options, and dividends on our common and preferred shares.

***Borrowings, Including Reconciliation of Long-term Debt to Total Borrowing and Operating Borrowing***

The following table summarizes our borrowings:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **(in millions of US dollars)** | **As of December 31,** | **As of December 31,** | **Change** |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vessels under construction | (1422.5) | (1095.6) | (29.8)% |
| **Operating borrowings**<sup>(1)</sup> | $4656.1 | $4607.9 | 1.0% |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> Total borrowings is a non-GAAP financial measure which comprises of long-term debt, other financing arrangements and finance leases, excluding deferred financing fees. The Company's total borrowings include amounts related to vessels under construction, consisting primarily of amounts borrowed to pay installments to shipyards. The interest incurred on borrowings related to the vessels under construction are capitalized during the construction period. Total borrowings and operating borrowings are non-GAAP financial measures that are not defined under or prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Disclosure of total borrowings and operating borrowings is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management believes these measures are useful in consolidating and clearly presenting Atlas' financings. Management also believes that these metrics can be useful to facilitate assessment of leverage and debt service obligations of the Company. Management believes operating borrowings is a useful measure to assess interest expense related to vessels that are in operation and generating revenue.

The Company's approach is to target a total borrowings-to-asset ratio of 50-60%, and to mitigate credit risk by diversifying its maturity profile over as long a term as economically feasible, while maintaining or reducing its cost of capital. The Company's debt-to-asset ratio was 53.8% as of December 31, 2022 compared to 54.0% at December 31, 2021.

The consolidated weighted average interest rate for December 31, 2022 was 5.97% compared to 3.26% at December 31, 2021. The weighted average interest rates for the containership segment, power generation segment, and Atlas Corp. (on an unconsolidated basis) were 6.12%, 5.57%, and 7.13%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021: 3.14%, 5.55%, and 7.1%, respectively).

*Credit Facilities*

The Company's credit facilities are primarily secured by assets, including first-priority mortgages granted on 53 of its vessels and substantially all of its power generation assets, together with other related security.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $1.2 billion principal amount outstanding under its credit facilities, of which $1.1 billion was related to the containership leasing business and $100.5 million was related to the power generation business. There were no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facilities. A total of $700.0 million was undrawn, of which $650.0 million was available to the containership leasing business, and $50.0 million was available to the power generation business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup>APR Energy's debt matures in 2025 and 2026, and is secured by certain power generation assets.

*Other Financing Arrangements*

As part of the Company's strategy to diversify its financing sources, it enters into sale-leaseback financing arrangements with financial leasing companies, which under U.S. GAAP are considered "failed-sales". This accounting treatment requires that the vessel asset remain on the Company's balance sheet, along with the associated lease liability.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has 35 vessels financed under these sale-leaseback financing arrangements. As of December 31, 2022, these arrangements provided for borrowings of approximately $2.1 billion.

On a consolidated basis as of December 31, 2022, scheduled repayments on our other financing arrangements were as follows:

*Notes*

As of December 31, 2022, we had an aggregate of $2.5 billion outstanding under notes, $1.5 billion of which was unsecured, with the remaining $1.0 billion secured by assets held by our containership segment. We expect to continue to access the debt capital markets and issue additional series of notes similar to those described below, the proceeds of which may be used to repay other indebtedness, for capital expenditures, or for other general corporate purposes. The Company's outstanding notes are summarized below.

*<u>7.125% 2027 Atlas Notes</u>*

As of December 31, 2022, we had $52.4 million outstanding under the Atlas Notes. The Atlas Notes were issued in May 2021 pursuant to the Exchange Transaction, and are callable at par plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, at any time after May 2023. In the event of certain changes in withholding taxes, at our option, we may redeem the notes, in each case in whole, but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the Atlas Notes, which definition does not include the Merger), each holder of such notes will have the right to require us to purchase all or a portion of such holder's notes at a purchase price equal to 101.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

*<u>3.75% 2025 Exchangeable Notes</u>*

As of December 31, 2022, we had $201.3 million outstanding under our 3.75% exchangeable senior notes due 2025 (the "Exchangeable Notes"). The Exchangeable Notes were issued in December 2020 by Seaspan, pursuant to the terms of an Indenture, dated as of December 21, 2020, by and among the Company, Seaspan and The Bank of New York Mellon, as amended (the "Exchangeable Notes Indenture"). The Exchangeable Notes are exchangeable at the holders' option into an aggregate 15,474,817 common shares at an initial exchange price of $13.005 per share, the cash equivalent or a combination thereof, as elected by the Company, at any time on or after September 15, 2025, or earlier upon the occurrence of certain market price triggers, significant corporate events, or in response to early redemption elected by us. The holders may require us to redeem the notes upon the occurrence of certain corporate events qualifying as a fundamental change in the business. The Company may redeem the Exchangeable Notes in connection with certain tax-related events or on any business day on or after December 20, 2023 and prior to September 15, 2025, if the last reported sale price of our common shares is at least 130.0% of the exchange price during a specified measurement period. A redemption of the Exchangeable Notes is made at 100.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Concurrently with the issue of Exchangeable Notes, the Company entered into capped call transactions using $15.5 million in proceeds from the issuance of the notes. The capped call transactions provide the Company with the option to purchase up to 15,474,817 common shares at a price per share of $17.85. The capped call is intended to reduce the potential dilution to shareholders and/or offset any cash payments that are required upon an exchange.

In connection with the Merger, the Company has agreed to take all actions required by, or reasonably requested by Poseidon pursuant to, the Exchangeable Notes Indenture and applicable law at or prior to consummation of the Merger. In connection with the Merger, the Company has also agreed to take all actions reasonably requested by Poseidon in connection with making elections under, amending, negotiating adjustments, obtaining waivers or unwinding or otherwise settling the Company's Capped Call Confirmations (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and to provide certain notices to, and cooperate with, Poseidon, in connection with efforts to settle, terminate or amend the hedge obligations related to the Exchangeable Notes. In addition, the Company agreed not to take certain actions with respect to the Exchangeable Notes and Capped Call Confirmations without Poseidon's prior written consent.

*<u>Sustainability-Linked NOK Bonds</u>*

As of December 31, 2022, we had an aggregate $500.0 million outstanding under our NOK Bonds. The NOK Bonds were issued in the Nordic bond market in February 2021 ($200.0 million) and April 2021 ($300.0 million), bear interest at 6.5% per annum, and mature in February 2024 and April 2026, respectively. Upon maturity, 100.0% of the principal balance is due, or 100.5% if certain sustainability-linked targets are not achieved, except in the event of certain eligible changes in tax law. As of December 31, 2022, the sustainability-linked targets had been achieved, which targeted capital expenditure for projects which mitigate carbon emissions, including LNG vessel technology. Upon the occurrence of a change of control or a delisting event (each as defined in the NOK Bonds), each holder of NOK Bonds will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such holder's NOK Bonds at a purchase price equal to 101.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. We are considering the method for financing any redemptions of the NOK Bonds that may occur after the closing of the Merger, which could require a consent from Poseidon in the case of the 2026 NOK Bonds. We currently expect that, if requested, we will obtain Poseidon's consent to such financing.

*<u>Blue Transition 5.50% 2029 Notes</u>*

As of December 31, 2022, we had $750.0 million outstanding under our 5.5% 2029 Notes. The 5.5% 2029 Notes were issued in July 2021, bear interest at 5.5% per annum, payable semi-annually beginning on February 1, 2022, and mature in 2029. The blue transition structure includes designated uses of proceeds for carbon mitigating projects, and were developed to align with the Company's sustainability efforts.

*<u>Sustainability-Linked Senior Secured Notes</u>*

As of December 31, 2022, we had $1.0 billion outstanding under our Senior Secured Notes. In 2021, $500.0 million of the notes were issued pursuant to a U.S. private placement with life insurance companies and comprise four series. The Series A, Series C and Series D senior secured notes, totaling $450.0 million, were issued in May 2021, with interest rates ranging from 3.91% to 4.26% and maturities from June 2031 to June 2036. The Series B senior secured notes, totaling $50.0 million, were issued in August 2021, with an interest rate of 3.91%, and mature in 2031. The senior secured notes contain certain sustainability features, and are subject to adjustment based on Seaspan's achievements relative to certain key performance indicators.

In May 2022, Seaspan entered into a note purchase agreement to issue $500.0 million of sustainability-linked, senior secured notes in a U.S. private placement and comprise three series, each ranking pari passu with Seaspan's existing and future portfolio vessel financing program. The Series A, Series B and Series C Senior Secured Notes were issued in August 2022, with interest rates ranging from 5.15% to 5.49% and maturities from September 2032 to September 2037. The Senior Secured Notes contain certain sustainability features, and are subject to adjustment based on Seaspan's achievements relative to certain key performance indicators.

*Operating Leases*

As of December 31, 2022, there were 10 vessel operating lease arrangements. Under nine of the operating lease arrangements, the Company may purchase the vessels for a predetermined purchase price. As of December 31, 2022, there were total commitments, excluding purchase options, under vessel operating leases from 2022 to 2029 of approximately $571.9 million. As at December 31, 2022, these purchase option prices were $510.6 million in aggregate for the nine vessels, and if exercised, such purchases will complete between December 2024 and November 2026. If exercised, the term of the operating leases will shorten, and the amount paid by the Company under the operating leases (excluding the purchase option price) will be less than the total commitment outlined below.

At December 31, 2022, the commitment under operating leases relating to vessels was $571.9 million for 2023 to 2029, and for other leases it was $9.7 million for 2023 to 2031. Total commitments under these leases are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 2023 | $117.6 |
| 2024 | 115.9 |
| 2025 | 118.9 |
| 2026 | 117.2 |
| 2027 | 80.4 |
| Thereafter | 31.6 |
|  | $581.6 |

---

*Finance Leases*

In January through August 2022, the Company exercised its options to purchase four 10,000 TEU vessels and each of the leases have been re-assessed as financing leases for the remainder of its term until the purchase is completed in January through September 2023 at the predetermined purchase price of $52.7 million per vessel, representing an aggregate of $210.8 million for the four vessels.

As at December 31, 2022, the total remaining commitments related to financial liabilities of the four vessels under finance leases were $225.1 million (December 31, 2021 - nil), including imputed interest of $2.9 million (December 31, 2021 - nil), repayable in 2023.

*Capital Commitments*

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had 58 newbuild vessels under construction (December 31, 2021 – 67 vessels). The Company had outstanding commitments for the remaining installment payments as follows:

---

|:---|:---|
| 2023 | $2438.1 |
| 2024 | 2713.7 |
| Total | $5151.8 |

Inflation globally has seen increases through 2022, along with expectations that elevated inflation levels may persist in the near-term. This trend is positively correlated with profitability in our business sectors, as the cost of transport and power are major components of inflation, and the underlying demand for our business segments is closely linked to both global GDP growth and inflation. While we expect these factors to be a net positive for our business segments, we anticipate that market uncertainty surrounding quantitative tightening and interest rates intended to combat inflation may continue to cause volatility in the equity and credit markets near-term, impacting the pricing of our traded securities and potential new issuances, notwithstanding strong and stable underlying performance and asset values.

***Certain Terms under our Long-Term Debt, Lease Arrangements, Other Financing Arrangements and Notes***

We are subject to customary conditions before we may borrow under our credit, lease and other financing arrangements, including, among others, that no event of default is outstanding and that there has been no material adverse change in our ability to make all required payments under the arrangements.

Our credit, lease and other financing arrangements and our Notes also contain various covenants limiting our ability to, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• allow liens to be placed on the collateral securing the facility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• enter into mergers with other entities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• conduct material transactions with affiliates; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• change the flag, class or management of the vessels securing the facility.

The Company's credit, lease and other financing arrangements also contain certain financial covenants, including, among others, covenants requiring the relevant entities to maintain minimum tangible net worth, interest coverage ratios, interest and principal coverage ratios, and debt to assets ratios, as defined. Seaspan's 2023 RCF and 5.5% 2029 Notes container incurrence-based covenants which may subject us to additional specified limitations, including limitations on dividend payments in excess of a specified amount, subject to a specified calculation which may increase or decrease over time. To the extent the Company is unable to satisfy the requirements under its credit facilities and lease and other financing arrangements, the Company may be unable to borrow additional funds under the facilities, and if it is not in compliance with specified financial ratios or other requirements under our credit, lease and other financing arrangements or our Notes, we may be in breach of the facilities and lease and other financing arrangements or our Notes, which could require us to repay outstanding amounts. We may also be required to prepay amounts under our credit facilities, operating leases, other financing arrangements, or our Notes if we experience a change of control, and may also result in financial penalties. We were in compliance with these covenants as at December 31, 2022.

**Cash Flows**

The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for the periods presented:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
| **(in millions of USD)** | **2022** | **2021** |
| Net cash flows from operating activities | $856.3 | $944.0 |
| Net cash flows used in investing activities | (1022.6) | (1693.9) |
| Net cash flows from financing activities | 130.5 | 734.2 |

---

***Operating Cash Flows***

Net cash flows from operating activities were $856.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $87.7 million compared to 2021. The decrease in net cash flows from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the prior year, was primarily due to site demobilizations in our power generation segment and changes in operating assets and liabilities, offset by an increase in revenue.

For further discussion of changes in revenue and expenses, please read "Financial Results Summary."

***Investing Cash Flows***

Net cash flows used in investing activities were $1,022.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $671.3 million compared to 2021. Decrease in cash used was primarily due to the decrease in expenditures related to installments on vessels under construction and an increase in proceeds from vessel sales in the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021.

***Financing Cash Flows***

Net cash flows from financing activities were $130.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to net cash flows from financing activities of $734.2 million in 2021. This represents a net decrease of $603.7 million in cash flows from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to 2021. Decrease was primarily due to proceeds received from long-term debt and other financing arrangements related to newbuild financing, offset by repayments and the proceeds received from the exercise of warrants.

**Ongoing Capital Expenditures and Dividends**

The average age of the vessels in our operating fleet is approximately eight years, on a TEU-weighted basis. Capital expenditures for our containership fleet primarily relate to our regularly scheduled dry-dockings. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we completed 14 dry-dockings, compared to 18 dry-dockings in 2021.

The average age of the turbines is nine years and the average age of our diesel generators is 11 years. Capital expenditures for these assets primarily relate to mobilization and decommissioning requirements included in substantially all lease contracts. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we mobilized and decommissioned three and three sites, respectively.

We must make substantial capital expenditures over the long-term to preserve our capital base, which is comprised of our net assets, to continue to refinance our indebtedness and to maintain our dividends. We will likely need to retain additional funds at some time in the future to provide reasonable assurance of maintaining our capital base over the long-term. We believe it is not possible to determine now, with any reasonable degree of certainty, how much of our operating cash flow we should retain in our business and when it should be retained to preserve our capital base. The amount of operating cash flow we retain in our business will affect the amount of our dividends. Factors that will impact our decisions regarding the amount of funds to be retained in our business to preserve our capital base, include the following, many of which are currently unknown and are outside our control:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)the remaining lives of our property plant and equipment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)the returns that we generate on our retained cash flow, which will depend on the economic terms of any future asset acquisitions and lease terms;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)future contract rates for our assets after the end of their existing leases agreements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)our future operating and interest costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)future operating and financing costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6)our future refinancing requirements and alternatives and conditions in the relevant financing and capital markets at that time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7)capital expenditures to comply with environmental regulations and asset retirement obligations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8)unanticipated future events and other contingencies.

Our board of directors periodically considers these factors in determining our need to retain funds rather than pay them out as dividends. Unless we are successful in making acquisitions with outside sources of financing that add a material amount to our cash available for retention in our business, or unless our board of directors concludes that we will likely be able to re-deploy our fleet upon expiration of existing leases at rates higher than the rates in our current leases, our board of directors may determine at some future date to reduce, or possibly eliminate, our dividend for reasonable assurance that we are retaining the funds necessary to preserve our capital base.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**E.Critical Accounting Estimates** 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates in the application of our accounting policies based on our best assumptions, judgments and opinions. Our estimates affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. Accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in this section are those that we consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties.

Senior management has discussed with our audit committee the development, selection and disclosure of accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

***Amortization of Vessel Dry-Docking Activities***

We defer costs incurred for dry-docking activities until the next scheduled dry-docking. Dry-docking of our vessels is generally performed every five years and includes major overhaul activities that are comprehensive and all encompassing. We have adopted the deferral method of accounting for dry-dock activities whereby costs incurred are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period until the next scheduled dry-dock activity.

The major components of routine dry-docking costs include: (i) yard costs, which may include riggers, pilot/tugs, yard fees, hull painting service, deck repairs (such as steel work, anchors, chains, valves, tanks, and hatches) and engine components (such as shafts, thrusters, propeller, rudder, main engine and auxiliary machinery); (ii) non-yard costs which include the paint, technician service costs and parts ordered specifically for dry-dock; and (iii) other costs associated with communications, pilots, tugs, survey fees, port fees, fuel costs for mobilizing the vessel to and from the dry-dock and classification fees.

Repairs and maintenance normally performed on an operational vessel either at port or at sea are limited to repairs to specific damages caused by a particular incident or normal wear and tear, or minor maintenance to minimize the wear and tear to the vessel. Above the water line repairs, minor deck maintenance and equipment repairs may be performed to the extent the operations and safety of the crew and vessel are not compromised. All repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

***Useful lives property, plant and equipment***

*Vessels*

The carrying value of each of our vessels represents its original cost at the time of delivery or purchase, including acquisition costs directly attributable to the vessel and expenditures made to prepare the vessel for its initial voyage, less accumulated depreciation. We depreciate our vessels using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Second-hand vessels are depreciated from their date of acquisition over their remaining estimated useful life. We review the estimate of our vessels' useful lives on an ongoing basis to ensure they reflect current technology, service potential, and vessel structure. We estimate that the useful life of the vessels will be 30 years from the date of initial completion. Should certain factors or circumstances cause us to revise our estimate of vessel service lives in the future, depreciation expense could be materially lower or higher. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the extent of cash flows generated from future charter arrangements, changes in international shipping requirements, and other factors, many of which are outside of our control.

*Power generating equipment* 

The carrying value of our power generating equipment represent its original cost at the time of purchase, less accumulated depreciation. We depreciate our power generating equipment using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Costs incurred to mobilize and install power-generating equipment pursuant to a contract for the provision of power-generation services are also recorded in property, plant and equipment and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable lease term to which the power-generating equipment relates. In estimating the useful lives of power generating equipment, we make certain judgments relating to expected usage, expected wear and tear, residual values and technological and commercial obsolescence of the turbines and generators.

***Impairment of Long-lived Assets***

We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable, which occurs when the assets' carrying value is greater than the undiscounted future cash flows the asset is expected to generate over its remaining useful life. Examples of such events or changes in circumstances related to our long-lived assets include, among others: a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which the asset is being used or in its physical condition; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the asset's value, including an adverse action or assessment by a foreign government that impacts the use of the asset; or a current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses, or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the asset's use. If there has been a general decline in the market value of assets, we analyze our assets for impairment to the extent that the decline in market value is expected to impact the future cash flows of the asset. In cases where our assets are being analyzed is under a long-term contracts, a decline in the current market value of the asset may not impact the recoverability of its carrying value. The determination of whether impairment indicators exist requires significant judgment in evaluating underlying significant assumptions including charter rates, utilization rates, operating costs and current vessel market values.

If an indication is identified, and the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of an asset, excluding interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of the asset over its useful life exceeds the asset's carrying value, no impairment is recognized even though the fair value of the asset may be lower than its carrying value. If the estimated

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

undiscounted future cash flows are less than its carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the net book value of the asset exceeds its fair value.

*Vessels* 

When an indicator of impairment is identified for our vessels, our estimates of future cash flows involve assumptions about future charter rates, vessel utilization, operating and dry-docking expenditures, vessel residual values, inflation and the remaining estimated useful lives of our vessels. If undiscounted future cash flows are less than its carrying value, fair value is calculated as the net present value of estimated future cash flows, which in certain circumstances may approximate the estimated market value of the vessel.

Revenue assumptions are based on contracted time charter rates up to the end of the life of the current contract of each vessel, as well as an estimated time charter rate, adjusted for future inflation, for the remaining life of the vessel after the completion of its current contract. The estimated time charter rates for non-contracted revenue days are based on 10-year average time charter rates incorporating historical time charter rate data from an independent third-party maritime research service provider, as well as recent market charter rates relevant to future periods. We consider 10-year historical average rates to be a reasonable estimation of expected future charter rates over the remaining useful life of our vessels since such historical average generally represents a full shipping cycle that captures the highs and lows of the market.

Our estimates of vessel utilization, including estimated off-hire time for dry-docking, off-hire time between time charters and equipment or machinery breakdown, are based on historical experience.

Our estimates of operating, dry-docking expenses and capital expenditures are based on historical and budgeted operating and dry-docking costs and our expectations of future inflation and operating requirements. Expenses, including dry-dock expenses, are impacted by the economic conditions of our industry, including, among other things, crewing costs, insurance and bunker costs and availability of shipyards for dry-docking.

Vessel residual values are a product of a vessel's lightweight tonnage and an estimated scrap rate which takes into consideration historical average scrap prices based on information from third-party maritime research services. Although we believe that the assumptions used to determine the scrap rate are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are highly subjective because of the cyclical nature of future demand for scrap steel.

The remaining lives of our vessels used in our estimates of future cash flows are consistent with those used in our calculations of depreciation.

In our experience, certain assumptions relating to our estimates of future cash flows are more predictable by their nature, including estimated revenue under existing contract terms and remaining vessel life. Certain assumptions relating to our estimates of future cash flows require more judgment and are inherently less predictable, such as future charter rates beyond the firm period of existing contracts, ongoing operating costs and vessel residual values. We assess these assumptions on a continuous basis and believe those used to estimate future cash flows of our vessels are reasonable at the time they are made. We can make no assurances however, as to whether our estimates of future cash flows, particularly future vessel charter rates or vessel values, will be accurate.

For the year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, based on our analysis, we have not identified any events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable and accordingly, no impairment was recorded.

During 2022, Seaspan entered into agreements to sell a total of 11 vessels one of which completed in January 2023. Under current market conditions for our containership leasing segment, we intend to continue to hold and operate our core vessels. Although time charter rates have increased in 2021 through the first half of 2022, we expect that in the near future they will stabilize. Future time charter rates impact our average estimated daily time charter rate used in future impairment analyses and if this declines, this may result in estimated undiscounted future operating net cash flows being less than the carrying value of certain of our Panamax-size vessels or below and may require us to recognize non-cash impairment charges in the future equal to the excess of the impacted vessels' carrying value over their fair value. The determination of the fair value of vessels will depend on various market factors and our reasonable assumptions at that time, including time charter rates, operating expenses, capital expenditures, inflation, fleet utilization, residual value, remaining useful life and discount rates. The amount, if any, and timing of any impairment charges we may recognize in the future will depend upon then current assumptions, which may differ materially from period to period.

The following table presents information with respect to the carrying amount of the vessels owned by us and indicates whether their estimated charter-free market values are below their carrying values as of December 31, 2022. The charter-free valuations assume that our vessels are in good and seaworthy condition without need for repair, and, if inspected, they would be certified in class without notations of any kind. Because vessel values can be highly volatile, these charter-free valuations may not be indicative of either the current or future prices that we could achieve if we were to sell

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

any of the vessels. We would not record an impairment charge for any of the vessels for which the charter-free market value is below its carrying value unless we determine that the vessel's carrying amount is not recoverable. For those vessels that have carrying values in excess of their charter-free market values as of December 31, 2022, we have not identified any events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Accordingly, we have not recorded an impairment charge related to those vessels as of December 31, 2022.

<sup>(1)</sup> As at December 31, 2022, the vessel's charter-free market value is lower than its carrying value. The aggregate carrying value of these vessels is $2.5 billion and the estimated charter-free market value is $1.7 billion. Although the charter-free market values are lower than the carrying values of these vessels, we expect the difference would be less using charter-attached values since the majority of those vessels are on long-term time charters.

<sup>(2)</sup> At December 31, 2022, this vessel was classified as asset held for sale.

*Power generation equipment* 

We acquired the assets of APR Energy on February 28, 2020. When an indicator of impairment is identified for our power generation equipment, our estimates of future cash flows used to determine fair value involve assumptions related to future lease rates, asset utilization, off-hire and re-deployment periods, and the remaining estimated useful lives of our assets. If undiscounted future cash flows are less than its carrying value, fair value is calculated as the net present value of estimated future cash flows, which in certain circumstances may approximate the estimated market value of the assets.

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

Revenue assumptions are based on lease rates up to the end of the life of the current contract for each asset, as well as estimated future lease rates, for the remaining life of the asset after the completion of its current contract. The estimated future lease rates for non-contracted revenue periods are based adjusted historical averages. Our estimates of asset utilization, including estimated off-hire periods for decommissioning, re-deployment and mobilization are also based on historical experience.

The remaining lives of our power generation used in our estimates of future cash flows are consistent with those used in our calculations of depreciation.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, based on our analysis, we have not identified any events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable and accordingly, no impairment was recorded.

Based on our experience, we recognize that key assumptions, including future lease rates and asset utilization require significant judgement and are inherently volatile, given the unpredictable nature of our power generation segment. We assess these assumptions on a continuous basis and believe those used to estimate future cash flows of our assets are reasonable at the time they are made. We can make no assurances however, as to whether our estimates of future cash flows will be accurate.

Based on current market conditions for our mobile power generation segment, we intend to continue to hold and operate our assets. If we are unable to deploy our power generation equipment at rates consistent with historical averages, due to shift in market demand or specific events such as further developments in the COVID-19 pandemic, future lease revenue and utilization rates will decline, resulting in estimated undiscounted future operating net cash flows which may be less than the carrying value of certain of our assets and requiring us to recognize non-cash impairment charges in the future equal to the excess of the impacted asset's carrying value over their fair value. The determination of the fair value of the assets will depend on various market factors and our reasonable assumptions at that time. The amount, if any, and timing of any impairment charges we may recognize in the future will depend upon then current assumptions, which may differ materially from period to period.

***Goodwill***

We allocate the cost of acquired companies to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired, with the remaining amount being classified as goodwill. Our future operating performance may be affected by the potential impairment charges related to goodwill. Accordingly, the allocation of the purchase price to goodwill may significantly affect our future operating results. Goodwill is not amortized, but reviewed for impairment annually, in the fourth quarter or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is highly subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis.

The allocation of the purchase price of acquired companies requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows expected to be generated by the acquired assets and the appropriate discount rate to value these cash flows. In addition, the process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is highly subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis. The fair value of our reporting unit is estimated based on discounted expected future cash flows using a weighted-average cost of capital rate. The estimates and assumptions regarding expected cash flows and the appropriate discount rates require considerable judgment and are based upon existing contracts, historical experience, financial forecasts and industry trends and conditions.

Our goodwill comprising of $75.3 million from our January 2012 acquisition of Seaspan Management Services Limited ("SMSL"), allocated to the containership leasing segment, and was tested for impairment on November 30, 2022. We have the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit, is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. Alternatively, we may bypass this step and use a fair value approach to identify potential goodwill impairment and, when necessary, measure the amount of impairment.

On November 30, 2022, we performed a qualitative assessment to identify potential impairment. We evaluated factors that would impact the discounted cash flow, including the time charter rates, vessel utilization rates, ship operating expenses, operating life of our vessels, the inflation rate and our cost of capital and concluded that our goodwill was not impaired. The amount, if any, and timing of any goodwill impairment charges that we may recognize in the future will depend upon then current assumptions, which may differ materially from those used on November 30, 2022.

***Derivative Instruments***

Our hedging policies permit the use of various derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk. Interest rate swap have been entered into to reduce our exposure to market risks from changing interest rates. We recognize the interest rate swap agreements on the balance sheet at their fair values.

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

We evaluate whether any of the previously hedged interest payments are remote of occurring. We have concluded that the previously hedged interest payments are not remote of occurring. Therefore, unrealized gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with the previously designated interest rate swaps are recognized in earnings when and where the interest payments are recognized. If such interest payments were to be identified as being remote of occurring, the accumulated other comprehensive income balance pertaining to these amounts would be reversed through earnings immediately.

***Asset Retirement Obligations***

We record a provision and a corresponding long-lived asset for asset retirement obligations ("ARO") as it relates to our mobile power generation segment, when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of long-lived assets and the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The fair value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flows discounted at our credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. The liability is accreted up to the cost of retirement through interest expense over the non-cancellable lease term. The long-lived asset is depreciated over the same period.

We use judgment in determining the amount and timing of settlements, which may change materially in response to factors including, but not limited to changes in laws and regulations, the emergence of new technology, and changes to the timing and scope of work. Changes in the amount or timing of the estimated ARO are recorded as an adjustment to the related asset and liability or to depreciation expense if the asset is fully depreciated.

***Business Combination***

We recognize and measure the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Any excess or surplus of the purchase consideration when compared to the fair value of the net assets acquired, if any, is recorded as goodwill or gain from a bargain purchase. A significant amount of judgment is involved in estimating the individual fair values of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, contingent consideration, taxes and other assets and liabilities. We use all relevant information to make these fair value determinations. For material acquisitions, we engage an independent valuation specialist to assist when relevant.

An income, market or cost valuation method may be utilized to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contingent consideration and non-controlling interest, if any, in a business combination.

The income valuation method which requires us to project future cash flows and apply an appropriate discount rate. The cost valuation method is based on the replacement cost of a comparable asset at prices at the time of the acquisition reduced for depreciation of the asset. The market valuation method uses market data and adjusts for company specific factors. The estimates used in determining fair value are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, results may differ materially from the projected results used in to determine fair value. If the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the acquisition occurs, an estimate will be recorded. Subsequent to the acquisition date, and not later than one year from the acquisition date, we will record any material adjustments to the initial estimate based on new information obtained that would have existed as of the date of the acquisition. Any adjustment that arises from information obtained that did not exist as of the date of the acquisition will be recorded in the period of the adjustment.

***Recent Accounting Pronouncements***

*Measurement of Credit Loss*

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Loss on Financial Instruments". ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with the expected credit loss impairment model ("CECL"), which requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate expected credit losses over the life of the instrument instead of only when losses are incurred. This standard applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost basis and net investments in leases recognized by the lessor. Upon adoption, a cumulative effect adjustment of $2.3 million was made to deficit as part of the modified retrospective transition approach.

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

*Simplifying test for goodwill impairment*

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." ASU 2017-04 eliminates the need to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit to measure the implied goodwill impairment. As a result of the adoption, the Company now calculates goodwill impairment as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds fair value of a reporting unit, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

*Discontinuation of LIBOR*

The Company adopted ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)", prospectively to contract modifications. The guidance provides optional relief for the discontinuation of LIBOR resulting from rate reform. Contract terms that are modified due to the replacement of a reference rate are not required to be remeasured or reassessed under FASB's relevant U.S. GAAP Topic. The election is available by Topic. The Company has elected to apply the optional relief for contracts under ASC 470, "Debt", ASC 840 and 842, "Leases", and ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging". There was no impact to the Company's financial statements upon initial adoption. The LIBOR replacement modifications for Debt contracts will be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate in the agreements. Existing lease and derivative contracts will require no reassessments. Transition activities are focused on the conversion of existing LIBOR based contracts to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate.

*Debt with conversion and other options*

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06, "Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)", using the modified retrospective method, whereby the accounting for convertible debt instruments is simplified by reducing the number of accounting models and circumstances when embedded conversion features are separately recognized. This update also revises the method in which diluted earnings per share is calculated related to certain instruments with conversion features, among other clarifications. As a result of the adoption, the Company recognizes the maximum potential dilutive effect of our exchangeable notes in diluted EPS using the if-converted method.

Additionally, non-employee directors, other than Mr. Sokol, who attended committee meetings (other than the regularly scheduled quarterly meetings) at the invitation of the chair of the committee, but who were not members of such committee, also received a payment of $1,500 per meeting. All annual cash retainers and payments were paid in equal quarterly installments. In August 2022, the Board established a Special Committee consisting of independent directors of the Board (being Mr. Pitts-Tucker, Mr. Hsu, and Ms. Wade) to, among other things, review, evaluate and negotiate the Merger and alternatives thereto. Each member of the Special Committee received a cash retainer of $30,000 and monthly cash compensation of $30,000, to continue until the earlier of when the Special Committee is dissolved, the consummation of the Merger or the abandonment thereof.

All annual cash retainers and payments are payable in equal quarterly installments. Non-employee directors who attend committee meetings (other than the regularly scheduled quarterly meetings) at the invitation of the chair of the committee, but who are not members of any such committee, also received a payment of $1,500 per meeting.

Officers who also serve as directors do not receive compensation for their service as directors. Each director is reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred while attending any meeting of our board of directors or any committee.

For services during the year ended December 31, 2022, Atlas directors and management (18 persons) received aggregate cash compensation of approximately $8.5 million.

***Employment Agreements with Senior Management***

Mr. Bing Chen serves as President & Chief Executive Officer of Atlas Corp. and each of its portfolio companies pursuant to an executive employment agreement between Mr. Chen and Seaspan Corporation, initially entered into in October 2017 and most recently amended and restated in June 2020, with an effective date of January 1, 2021. Executive officers of the Company other than Mr. Chen, including Messrs. Talbot, Derksen, Pedersen and Curtis and Ms. Yeung, have employment arrangements with Seaspan Ship Management Limited ("SSML"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Mr. Ben Church has an employment arrangement with Falconbridge Services, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

***Equity Incentive Plan***

The Company maintains equity incentive plans (the "Plan"), which are administered by the Board and under which officers, employees and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries may be granted Options, Restricted Shares, phantom share units and other stock-based awards as determined by the Board. In March 2022, the Atlas Corp Stock Incentive Plan was amended and restated to increase the number of Common Shares issuable under the plan from 10,000,000 to 20,000,000.

In January 2022, each of the Company's non-employee directors, other than Mr. Sokol, was awarded 9,435 Restricted Shares, which vested on January 1, 2023.

On March 28, 2022, the Board granted an award of 4,000,000 Common Shares to Mr. Sokol, in consideration for his continued service as chairman of the Board until September 1, 2027. Under the terms of the grant agreement, if Mr. Sokol ceases to act as a director at any time between the date of grant and December 31, 2022, other than for reason of his death or disability, he will forfeit and must return all of the Common Shares to the Company. Thereafter until September 1, 2027, if Mr. Sokol ceases to act as a director of the Company due to his voluntary resignation or removal for cause, he must return a prorated number of the shares (1/56th of the full amount for each month remaining during the period between January 1, 2023 and September 1, 2027). The obligation to return the shares to the Company will not apply to any other removal of Mr. Sokol from the Board (including a removal without cause or a removal due to death or disability).

In 2022, the Company also granted an aggregate 230,062 restricted stock units ("RSUs") to its executive officers. Some of the RSUs vested upon grant, and the remaining RSUs will vest on each of February 28, 2023 and February 28, 2024, subject, in each case, to the continued employment of the grantees.

On June 27, 2022, the Board granted an award of 1,500,000 Common Shares to Mr. Chen, in consideration of his personal performance and the performance of the Company. Under the terms of the grant agreement, if Mr. Chen voluntarily resigns or his employment is terminated by the Company for "cause" (as defined in the grant agreement) at any time between the date of grant and December 31, 2022, he will forfeit and must return all 1,500,000 Common Shares to the Company. Thereafter until December 31, 2027, if Mr. Chen voluntarily resigns or his employment is terminated by the Company for "cause" (as defined in the grant agreement), he must return a prorated number of shares (1/60th of the full amount for each month remaining during the period between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2027).

SSML maintains a Cash and Equity Bonus Plan ("CEBP") under which certain employees are eligible to receive awards comprised of 2/3 cash and 1/3 Common Shares under the Company's incentive plans. The purpose of the CEBP is to align the interests of SSML's management with the interests of the Company. In 2022, under the CEBP, SSML granted 6,412 RSUs to the Company's executive officers in the aggregate with respect to the equity portion of the award.

In June 2020, the Company established the Atlas Corp. Equity Bonus Plan ("EBP") under which employees of Atlas and its subsidiaries who do not participate in the CEBP may receive equity bonus awards. Like the CEBP, the purpose of the EBP is to align the interests of Atlas personnel with the interests of Atlas. In 2022, under the EBP, 10,716 RSUs were granted to the Company's executive officers in the aggregate with respect to the equity portion of the award.

At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each RSU and each phantom share unit granted under the Company's incentive plans, if vested and outstanding as of the Effective Time, will convert into the right to receive, on or within five calendar days after the closing of the Merger, a cash payment, without interest, in an amount equal to (x) the Merger Consideration plus (y) the value of any dividend- equivalent right payments accrued but not yet paid with respect to such RSU or phantom share unit as of the Effective Time.

If any RSU is not vested as of the Effective Time, then at the Effective Time, such RSU will convert into the right to receive (subject to any applicable withholding), at the time at which such RSU would have been settled in common shares by its terms (as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time), a cash payment, without interest, in an amount equal to (x) the Merger Consideration, plus (y) the value of any dividend-equivalent right payments accrued but not yet paid with respect to such RSU as of the Effective Time.

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

At the Effective Time, each outstanding Option will automatically be canceled and converted into (i), if vested, a cash amount (subject to any applicable withholding) equal to the amount by which the Merger Consideration exceeds the exercise price per common share of such Option, to be paid on or within five calendar days after the closing of the Merger, or (ii) if not vested, the right to receive (subject to any applicable withholding), at the time at which such Option would have become vested by its terms (as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time), a cash amount equal to the amount by which the Merger Consideration exceeds the exercise price per common share of such Option.

At the Effective Time, each common share of the Company granted under the Company's incentive plans that remains subject to one or more unsatisfied vesting or vesting-equivalent forfeiture or repurchase conditions, other than any Rollover Equity (as defined in the Merger Agreement), will automatically be canceled and converted into a right to receive (subject to any applicable withholding), at the time at which such share would have vested by its terms (as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time), a cash payment, without interest, in an amount equal to (x) the Merger Consideration, plus (y) the value of any dividend- equivalent right payments accrued but not yet paid with respect to such share as of the Effective Time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**C.Board Practices**

**General**

As of March 1, 2023, the board of directors consisted of eight members. Each member of our board is elected to hold office until the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders and until such director's successor is elected and has been qualified. The chairman of our board of directors is David Sokol.

Our board of directors has determined that each of the current members of our board of directors, other than Bing Chen, has no material relationship with us, either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a material relationship with us, and is therefore independent from management.

The independent directors on our board considered the independence of Mr. Chin in light of the fact that he serves as managing director Hamblin Watsa Investment Counsel Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fairfax, our largest shareholder, as well as the independence of Mr. Simkins, in light of his relationship with Dennis Washington, who controls entities that together represent our second largest shareholder, and determined that each of Messrs. Chin and Simkins is an independent director in accordance with our independent director standards.

**Committees**

The board of directors currently has two committees, including an audit committee and a compensation and governance committee. The membership of the audit committee and compensation and governance committee during 2022 and the function of each of the committees are described below. Each of the committees operates under a written charter adopted by the board, which are available under "Corporate Governance" in the Investor Relations section of our website at *www.atlascorporation.com*.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the board of directors held eight meetings, the audit committee held four meetings, and the compensation and governance committee held five meetings.

The audit committee of the board is composed entirely of directors who currently satisfy applicable New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and SEC audit committee independence standards. During the year ended 2022, the audit committee members were Nicholas Pitts-Tucker (chair), John Hsu, Stephen Wallace and Katie Wade (who became a member of the audit committee in February 2022). All current members of the committee are financially literate, and our board of directors has determined that Mr. Pitts-Tucker qualifies as an audit committee financial expert. The audit committee assists our board of directors in fulfilling its responsibilities for general oversight of: (1) the integrity of our consolidated financial statements; (2) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (3) the independent auditors' qualifications and independence; (4) the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors; and (5) potential conflicts and related party transactions.

The compensation and governance committee of the board consists of Lawrence Simkins (chair), David Sokol and Lawrence Chin. The compensation and governance committee is tasked with: (1) reviewing, evaluating and approving our agreements, plans, policies and programs to compensate our officers and directors; (2) reporting on executive compensation, which is included in our proxy statement; (3) otherwise discharging the board's responsibilities relating to the compensation of our officers and directors; (4) assisting the board with corporate governance practices, evaluating director independence and conducting periodic performance evaluations of the members of the board; (5) overseeing our approach and disclosures relating to environmental, social and governance ("ESG") matters; and (6) performing such other functions as the board may assign to the committee from time to time.

The special committee of the board is composed entirely of directors who currently satisfy applicable New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and SEC audit committee independence standards. During 2022, the special committee members were Nicholas Pitts-Tucker (chair), John Hsu, and Katie Wade.

**Exemptions from NYSE Corporate Governance Rules**

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from certain corporate governance rules that apply to U.S. domestic companies under NYSE listing standards. The significant ways in which our corporate governance practices differ from those followed by U.S. domestic companies are that (1) we are not required to obtain shareholder approval prior to the adoption of equity compensation plans or certain equity issuances, including, among others, issuing 20% or more of our outstanding common shares or voting power in a transaction, and (2) our board of directors, rather than a separate nominating committee of independent directors, evaluates and approves our director nominees.

Unlike domestic companies listed on the NYSE, foreign private issuers are not required to have a majority of independent directors and the standard for independence applicable to foreign private issuers may differ from the standard that is applicable to domestic issuers. Our board of directors has determined that all of our directors, other than Bing Chen, satisfy the NYSE's independence standards for domestic companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**D.Employees**

As of December 31, 2022, we employed approximately 6,200 employees (2021 – 6,200, 2020 – 5,300) on a consolidated basis. Seaspan had approximately 5,600 seagoing staff (2021 – 5,600, 2020 – 4,800) serve on the vessels that we manage and approximately 300 staff (2021 – 300, 2020 – 300) serve on shore in technical, commercial and administrative roles in Canada, Hong Kong and India. APR Energy had approximately 100 employees serving at the various plant sites and approximately 100 staff serve in technical, commercial and administrative roles in various locations including the US and Singapore.

In accordance with Maritime Labour Convention and Hong Kong employment regulations, all Seaspan seagoing staff are covered under a Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Hong Kong Seafarers Co-ordination Committee which is a consolidation of three Hong Kong seagoing staff unions, Merchant Navy Officers Guild (MNOG), Hong Kong Seamans Union (HKSU) and Amalgamated Union of Seafarers (AUS). These unions are duly recognized members of the International Tradeworkers Federation (ITF).

In connection with the acquisition of APR Energy, Fairfax received an aggregate 23,418,798 common shares of Atlas in consideration of its equity interests in Apple Bidco Limited and in settlement of indebtedness owing to Fairfax by Apple Bidco Limited at the Closing Date. Such issuance increased Fairfax's holdings from 42.4% to 46.2% (including 25,000,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants then held by Fairfax's affiliates) as at the date of the acquisition. In addition, on the closing date of the acquisition, Atlas reserved for issuance 2,137,541 Holdback Shares to Fairfax in connection with post-closing purchase price adjustments and indemnification obligations of the sellers, including Fairfax.

In August 2020, in connection with purchase price adjustments pursuant to the acquisition agreement and Amendment No. 2 thereto, Fairfax forfeited its right to receive 391,246 Holdback Shares and returned 1,253,883 previously issued common shares to Atlas. Of the 1,253,883 common shares returned, 760,807 shares were permanently forfeited; 493,076 shares were (and remain) held in reserve as treasury shares and may be issuable to Fairfax at a future date, subject to settlement of potential indemnified events.

During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, none of the Holdback Shares were released from holdback and issued to Fairfax; however, Fairfax purchased 668,775 common shares that were released from the holdback of the minority Sellers, pursuant to the terms of Amendment No. 1 to the acquisition agreement. In January 2022, Fairfax purchased an additional 48,985 of such common shares.

On April 30, 2021 and June 11, 2021, concurrently with the execution of Amendment No. 3 to the APR acquisition agreement and the Fairfax Notes Exchange, respectively, the Corporation and certain affiliates of Fairfax entered into warrant agreements pursuant to which the Corporation issued warrants to purchase 5,000,000 common shares at an exercise price of $13.00 and 1,000,000 common shares at an exercise price of $13.71, respectively. All 6,000,000 warrants were exercised in January 2023. For more information, see "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Developments in 2022 and 2023 — Fairfax Warrant Exercise."

Fairfax has disclosed that, on August 23, 2021, Fairfax completed its previously announced transaction with CVC Strategic Opportunities Fund II ("CVC") to sell all of its interests in RiverStone Europe to CVC.

Fairfax discloses that Fairfax and its affiliates remain the continuous beneficial owners of the RiverStone Shares, and retain pecuniary interest in the RiverStone Shares. Fairfax retains full operational control and direction over the RiverStone Shares, including having sole control over all voting and related matters involving the RiverStone Shares, other than where the exercise of such right could reasonably be expected, in the opinion of the current holders of the RiverStone Shares, to result in liability, regulatory breach or material reputational damage.

As of March 1, 2023, a total of 61,133,320 of our common shares were held by 34 holders of record in the United States.

From time to time, we have entered into agreements and have consummated transactions with certain related parties. These related party agreements and transactions have included the sale and purchase of our common and preferred shares, Seaspan's private placements with affiliates of Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (the transactions by which they became a related party) (see "Issuance of Securities to Fairfax" below), our acquisition of APR Energy, the Merger and other matters. We may enter into related party transactions from time to time in the future. Our board has an audit committee, comprised entirely of independent directors, which must review, and if applicable, approve all proposed material related party transactions.

Lawrence Chin, one of our directors, serves as a managing director of Hamblin Watsa Investment Counsel Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fairfax. Fairfax is currently our largest shareholder. Mr. Chin is one of the appointees to our board by the holders of the Series J Preferred Shares.

Stephen Wallace, one of our directors, is the other appointee to our board by the holders of the Series J Preferred Shares. Mr. Wallace has no employment relationship with Fairfax. Mr. Wallace served as a director of APR Energy prior to the APR Energy acquisition.

**Issuances of Securities to Fairfax** 

Since 2018, we have completed a number of private placements and other transactions with Fairfax involving the issuance of an aggregate $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of Fairfax Notes, all of which Fairfax Notes have since been exchanged and then cancelled in connection with the Fairfax Notes Exchange or redeemed, and an aggregate 107,923,078 warrants exercisable for an equivalent number of common shares, all of which were exercised by January 2023. Our chairman, David Sokol, serves on a charitable board with Prem Watsa, the chairman and chief executive officer of Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited. Fairfax became a related party as a result of private placements completed in 2018 and 2019.

**Registration Rights Agreements**

In connection with Seaspan's initial public offering, 2009 issuance of Series A preferred shares, acquisition of Greater China Intermodal Investments LLC, acquisition of SMSL in 2012, the August 2017 private placement of common stock to David Sokol, the Fairfax private placements and the Fairfax Notes Exchange, we (including Seaspan as predecessor) entered into one or more registration rights agreements pursuant to which it agreed to file, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable registration rights agreements, registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, covering common shares issued and/or issuable pursuant to the relevant transaction. Atlas assumed the obligations of Seaspan under these registration rights agreements upon the completion of the Reorganization. Shareholders of Atlas entitled to such registration rights include, among others, entities affiliated with Dennis R. Washington, his son Kyle R. Washington, a former member our board, David Sokol, chairman of our board, and Fairfax. The registration rights agreements give the counterparties piggyback registration rights allowing them to participate in certain offerings by us to the extent that their participation does not interfere or impede with our offering. In each case, we are obligated to pay substantially all expenses incidental to the registration, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions.

**Sale of Vessels to ZE JV**

In 2022, we completed the sale of four 4,250 TEU vessels to wholly-owned subsidiaries of the ZE JV, of which we are a 50% owner. We continue to manage the ship operations of the vessels.

**Item 8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Financial Information**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**A.Financial Statements and Other Financial Information**

Please see Item 18 below.

**Legal Proceedings** 

We have not been involved in any legal proceedings that may have, or have had a significant effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity, and we are not aware of any proceedings that are pending or threatened that may have a material effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity. From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including commercial disputes and personal injury and property casualty claims. With respect to personal injury and property casualty claims, we expect that these claims would be covered by insurance, subject to customary deductibles. Any legal proceedings, even if lacking merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.

**Dividend Policy** 

Our quarterly dividend is $0.125 per common share. We intend to use a significant portion of our internally generated cash flow to fund our capital requirements and reduce our debt levels, and the dividend policy adopted by our board contemplates the distribution of a portion of our cash available to pay dividends on our common shares. We offer a dividend reinvestment plan for common shareholders which provides shareholders with the opportunity to purchase additional common shares at a discount from the market price, as described in the prospectus for this plan.

Our board could modify or revoke our dividend policy at any time. Even if our dividend policy is not modified or revoked, the actual amount of dividends distributed under the policy, and the decision to make any distribution, will remain

at all times entirely at the discretion of our board. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that Atlas Corp. will continue to pay regular quarterly dividends on our common shares at the current amount, or at all.

There are a number of factors that could affect the dividends on our common shares in the future. Many of these factors could also affect our ability to pay dividends on our preferred shares. As a result of these factors, you may not receive dividends based on current amounts or at all. These factors include, among others, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• as a holding company, Atlas Corp. depends on Seaspan's and APR Energy's ability to pay dividends to Atlas Corp.;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Seaspan and APR Energy may not have enough cash to pay dividends due to changes in their operating cash flow, capital expenditure requirements, credit and other financing arrangements repayment obligations, working capital requirements and other cash needs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Seaspan's ability to pay dividends to Atlas Corp. is dependent upon the charter rates on new vessels and those obtained upon the expiration of our existing charters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the amount of dividends that Seaspan and APR Energy may distribute to Atlas Corp. is limited by restrictions under Seaspan's and APR Energy's existing credit and lease facilities, the Notes, and Seaspan's and APR Energy's future indebtedness which could contain covenants that are even more restrictive; Seaspan's 2023 RCF and 5.5% 2029 Notes contain incurrence-based covenants which may subject us to additional specified limitations, including limitations on dividend payments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Seaspan's and APR Energy's credit and lease facilities and the Notes require us to comply with various financial covenants, and Seaspan's and APR Energy's credit and lease facilities and the Notes prohibit the payment of dividends if an event of default has occurred and is continuing thereunder or if the payment of the dividend would result in an event of default;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Atlas Corp.'s ability to pay a cash dividend on Atlas Corp. common shares may be limited under debt instruments issued by Atlas Corp. in the future;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the amount of dividends that we may distribute is subject to restrictions under Marshall Islands Law; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our common shareholders have no contractual or other legal right to dividends, and we are not otherwise required to pay dividends.

All dividends are subject to declaration by our board. Our board may review and amend our dividend policy from time to time in light of our plans for future growth and other factors. We cannot provide assurance that we will pay, or be able to pay, regular quarterly dividends in the amounts and manner stated above.

Please read "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors" for a more detailed description of various factors that could reduce or eliminate our ability to pay dividends.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**D.Exchange Controls**

We are not aware of any governmental laws, decrees or regulations in the Republic of the Marshall Islands that restrict the export or import of capital, including foreign exchange controls, or that affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of our securities.

We are not aware of any limitations on the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold or vote our securities imposed by the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands or our articles of incorporation and bylaws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**E.Taxation** 

**Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations**

The following is a discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to our shareholders. This discussion is based upon the provisions of the Code, applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, legislative history, judicial authority and administrative interpretations, as of the date of this Annual Report, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or are subject to different interpretations. Changes in these authorities may cause the U.S. federal income tax considerations to vary substantially from those described below.

This discussion applies only to beneficial owners of our shares that own the shares as "capital assets" (generally, for investment purposes) and does not comment on all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to certain shareholders in light of their particular circumstances, such as shareholders subject to special tax rules (*e.g.*, financial institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, insurance companies, traders in securities that have elected the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities, persons liable for alternative minimum tax, broker-dealers, tax-exempt organizations, shareholders that own, directly, indirectly or constructively, 10% or more of our shares (by vote or value), or former citizens or long-term residents of the United States) or shareholders that hold our shares as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, all of whom may be subject to U.S. federal income tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below. If a partnership or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our shares, the tax treatment of its partners generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners in partnerships holding our shares should consult their own tax advisors to determine the appropriate tax treatment of the partnership's ownership of our shares.

No ruling has been requested from the IRS regarding any matter affecting us or our shareholders. Accordingly, statements made herein may not be sustained by a court if contested by the IRS.

This discussion does not address any U.S. estate, gift or alternative minimum tax considerations or tax considerations arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction. Each shareholder is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local, non-U.S. and other tax consequences of owning and disposing of our shares.

***U.S. Federal Income Taxation of the Reorganization***

We have taken the position that the Reorganization constitutes for U.S. federal income tax purposes a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. For details on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, please refer to the proxy statement/prospectus dated January 29, 2020 filed by Seaspan Corporation pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933.

***U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders***

As used herein, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of our shares that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (a) a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien (or a U.S. Individual Holder); (b) a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation that was created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia; (c) an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source or (d) a trust that either is subject to the supervision of a court within the United States and has one or more U.S. persons with authority to control all of its substantial decisions or has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

*Distributions*

Subject to the discussion of passive foreign investment companies ("PFICs"), below, any distributions made by us to a U.S. Holder generally will constitute dividends, which may be taxable as ordinary income or "qualified dividend income" as described in more detail below, to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits allocated to the U.S. Holder's shares, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits allocated to the U.S. Holder's shares will be treated first as a nontaxable return of capital

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

to the extent of the U.S. Holder's tax basis in our shares and thereafter as capital gain, which will be either long-term or short-term capital gain depending upon whether the U.S. Holder has held the shares for more than one year. U.S. Holders that are corporations generally will not be entitled to claim a dividends received deduction with respect to any distributions they receive from us. However, U.S. Holders that are corporations owning at least 10% in vote or value of our stock may be able to deduct a "foreign-source portion" (that is, an amount which bears the same ratio to the dividend as our undistributed foreign-earnings bear to our total undistributed earnings) of the dividend received from us. For purposes of computing allowable foreign tax credits for U.S. federal income tax purposes, dividends received with respect to our shares should be treated as foreign source income.

Under current law, subject to holding-period requirements and certain other limitations, dividends received with respect to our publicly traded shares by a U.S. Holder who is an individual, trust or estate, or a Non-Corporate U.S. Holder, generally will be treated as qualified dividend income that is taxable to such Non-Corporate U.S. Holder at preferential capital gain tax rates (provided we are not classified as a PFIC for the taxable year during which the dividend is paid or the immediately preceding taxable year). Any dividends received with respect to our publicly traded shares not eligible for these preferential rates will be taxed as ordinary income to a Non-Corporate U.S. Holder.

Special rules may apply to any "extraordinary dividend" paid by us. Generally, an extraordinary dividend is a dividend with respect to a share of stock if the amount of the dividend is equal to or in excess of 10% of a common shareholder's, or 5% of a preferred shareholder's, adjusted tax basis (or fair market value in certain circumstances) in such share. In addition, extraordinary dividends include dividends received within a one year period that, in the aggregate, exceed 20% of a shareholder's adjusted tax basis (or fair market value in certain circumstances). If we pay an extraordinary dividend on our shares that is treated as qualified dividend income, then any loss recognized by a Non-Corporate U.S. Holder from the sale or exchange of such shares will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of the amount of such dividend.

*Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Our Shares*

Subject to the discussion of PFICs below, a U.S. Holder who is not a CFC Shareholder, as discussed below, generally will recognize capital gain or loss upon a sale, exchange or other disposition of our shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized by the U.S. Holder from such sale, exchange or other disposition and the U.S. Holder's tax basis in such shares.

Subject to the discussion of extraordinary dividends above, such gain or loss generally will be treated as (a) long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder's holding period is greater than one year at the time of the sale, exchange or other disposition, or short-term capital gain or loss otherwise, and (b) U.S. source income or loss, as applicable, for foreign tax credit purposes. Non-Corporate U.S. Holders may be eligible for preferential rates of U.S. federal income tax in respect of long-term capital gains. A U.S. Holder's ability to deduct capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

*Consequences of CFC Classification*

If CFC Shareholders (generally, U.S. Holders who each own, directly, indirectly or constructively, 10% or more of our shares by vote or value) own directly, indirectly or constructively more than 50% of either the total combined voting power of all classes of our outstanding shares entitled to vote or the total value of all of our outstanding shares, we generally would be treated as a controlled foreign corporation, or a CFC. We believe that we and our non-U.S. corporate subsidiaries will be treated as CFCs in 2022 as a result of the total direct, indirect, and constructive ownership of us by 10% CFC Shareholders. It is unclear whether we would be treated as a CFC in future years.

CFC Shareholders are subject to certain burdensome U.S. federal income tax and administrative requirements but generally are not also subject to the requirements generally applicable to shareholders of a PFIC (as discussed below). U.S. persons who own or may obtain a substantial interest in us should consult their tax advisors with respect to the implications of being treated as a CFC Shareholder and the effect of changes to the rules governing CFC Shareholders made by the legislation commonly known as the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act."

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders who are not CFC Shareholders would not change if we are a CFC.

*PFIC Status and Significant Tax Consequences*

Special and adverse U.S. federal income tax rules apply to a U.S. Holder that holds stock in a non-U.S. corporation classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, we will be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year in which either (a) at least 75% of our gross income (including the gross income of certain of our subsidiaries) consists of passive income or (b) at least 50% of the average value of our assets (including the assets of certain of our subsidiaries) is attributable to assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. For purposes of these tests, passive income includes dividends, interest, gains from the sale or exchange of investment property and rents and royalties (other

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

than rents and royalties that are received from unrelated parties in connection with the active conduct of a trade or business) but does not include income derived from the performance of services.

There are legal uncertainties involved in determining whether the income derived from our time chartering activities constitutes rental income or income derived from the performance of services, including legal uncertainties arising from the decision in *Tidewater Inc. v. United States*, 565 F.3d 299 (5th Cir. 2009), which held that income derived from certain time chartering activities should be treated as rental income rather than services income for purposes of a foreign sales corporation provision of the Code. However, the IRS stated in an Action on Decision (AOD 2010-01) that it disagrees with, and will not acquiesce to, the way that the rental versus services framework was applied to the facts in the *Tidewater* decision, and in its discussion stated that the time charters at issue in *Tidewater* would be treated as producing services income for PFIC purposes. The IRS's statement with respect to *Tidewater* cannot be relied upon or otherwise cited as precedent by taxpayers. Consequently, in the absence of any binding legal authority specifically relating to the statutory provisions governing PFICs, there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court would not follow the *Tidewater* decision in interpreting the PFIC provisions of the Code. Nevertheless, based on the current composition of our assets and operations (and that of our subsidiaries), we intend to take the position that we are not now and have never been a PFIC. Further, although we intend to conduct our affairs in a manner to avoid being classified as a PFIC with respect to any taxable year, there can be no assurance that the nature of our operations, and therefore the composition of our income and assets, will remain the same in the future. Moreover, the market value of our stock may be treated as reflecting the value of our assets at any given time. Therefore, a decline in the market value of our stock (which is not within our control) may impact the determination of whether we are a PFIC. Because our status as a PFIC for any taxable year will not be determinable until after the end of the taxable year, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for the current or any future taxable year.

As discussed more fully below, if we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder generally would be subject to one of three different U.S. income tax regimes, depending on whether the U.S. Holder makes certain elections.

*Taxation of U.S. Holders Making a Timely QEF Election*

If we were classified as a PFIC for a taxable year, a U.S. Holder making a timely election to treat us as a "Qualified Electing Fund" for U.S. tax purposes (a "QEF Election") would be required to report its pro rata share of our ordinary earnings and our net capital gain, if any, for our taxable year that ends with or within the U.S. Holder's taxable year regardless of whether the U.S. Holder received distributions from us in that year. Such income inclusions would not be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in our shares would be increased to reflect taxed but undistributed earnings and profits, and distributions of earnings and profits that had previously been taxed would not be taxed again when distributed but would result in a corresponding reduction in the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in our shares. The U.S. Holder generally would recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our shares. A U.S. Holder would not, however, be entitled to a deduction for its pro-rata share of any losses that we incurred with respect to any year.

A U.S. Holder would make a QEF Election with respect to any year that we are a PFIC by filing IRS Form 8621 with its U.S. federal income tax return and complying with all other applicable filing requirements. However, a U.S. Holder's QEF Election will not be effective unless we annually provide the U.S. Holder with certain information concerning our income and gain, calculated in accordance with the Code, to be included with the U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax return. We have not provided our U.S. Holders with such information in prior taxable years and do not intend to provide such information in the current taxable year. Accordingly, you will not be able to make an effective QEF Election at this time. If, contrary to our expectations, we determine that we are or expect to be a PFIC for any taxable year, we will provide U.S. Holders with the information necessary to make an effective QEF Election with respect to our shares.

*Taxation of U.S. Holders Making a "Mark-to-Market" Election*

Alternatively, if we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year and, as we believe, our shares are treated as "marketable stock," then a U.S. Holder would be allowed to make a "mark-to-market" election with respect to our shares, provided the U.S. Holder completes and files IRS Form 8621 in accordance with the relevant instructions. If that election is made, the U.S. Holder generally would include as ordinary income in each taxable year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of our shares at the end of the taxable year over the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in our shares. The U.S. Holder also would be permitted an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in our shares over the fair market value thereof at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election). The U.S. Holder's tax basis in our shares would be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss recognized. Gain recognized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our shares would be treated as ordinary income, and any loss recognized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our shares would be treated as ordinary loss to the extent that such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains

------

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

previously included in income by the U.S. Holder. Because the mark-to-market election only applies to marketable stock, however, it would not apply to a U.S. Holder's indirect interest in any of our subsidiaries that were also determined to be PFICs.

*Taxation of U.S. Holders Not Making a Timely QEF Election or Mark-to-Market Election*

Finally, if we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year and if a U.S. Holder did not make either a QEF Election or a mark-to-market election for that year, the U.S. Holder would be subject to special rules resulting in increased tax liability with respect to (a) any excess distribution (*i.e.*, the portion of any distributions received by the U.S. Holder on our shares in a taxable year in excess of 125% of the average annual distributions received by the U.S. Holder in the three preceding taxable years, or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder's holding period for our shares) and (b) any gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our shares. Under these special rules:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the excess distribution or gain would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder's aggregate holding period for our shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to the taxable year we were first treated as a PFIC with respect to the U.S. Holder would be taxed as ordinary income in the current taxable year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the amount allocated to each of the other taxable years would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the highest rate of tax in effect for the applicable class of taxpayers for that year, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an interest charge for the deemed deferral benefit would be imposed with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each such other taxable year.

Additionally, for each year during which (a) a U.S. Holder owns shares, (b) we are a PFIC and (c) the total value of all PFIC stock that such U.S. Holder directly or indirectly owns exceeds certain thresholds, such U.S. Holder will be required to file IRS Form 8621 with its annual U.S. federal income tax return to report its ownership of our shares. In addition, if a U.S. Individual Holder dies while owning our shares, such U.S. Individual Holder's successor generally would not receive a step-up in tax basis with respect to such shares.

U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the PFIC rules, including the PFIC annual reporting requirements, as well as the applicability, availability and advisability of, and procedure for, making QEF Mark-to-Market Elections and other available elections with respect to us, and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of making such elections.

*Medicare Tax on Unearned Income*

Certain Non-Corporate U.S. Holders are subject to a 3.8% tax on certain investment income, including dividends and gain from the sale or other disposition of our shares. Non-Corporate U.S. Holders should consult their advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this tax on their ownership and disposition of our shares.

*U.S. Return Disclosure Requirements for U.S. Individual Holders*

Generally, U.S. Individual Holders who hold certain specified foreign financial assets, including stock in a foreign corporation that is not held in an account maintained by a financial institution, with an aggregate value in excess of $50,000 on the last day of a taxable year, or $75,000 at any time during that taxable year, may be required to report such assets on IRS Form 8938 with their U.S. federal income tax return for that taxable year. This reporting requirement does not apply to U.S. Individual Holders who report their ownership of our shares under the PFIC annual reporting rules described above. Penalties apply for failure to properly complete and file IRS Form 8938. Investors are encouraged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the possible application of this disclosure requirement to their investment in our shares.

*U.S. Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders*

A beneficial owner of our shares (other than a partnership or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not a U.S. Holder is a non-U.S. Holder.

*Distributions*

In general, a non-U.S. Holder is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on distributions received from us with respect to our shares unless the distributions are effectively connected with the non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment that the non- U.S. Holder maintains in the United States). If a non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a trade or business within the United States and the distributions are deemed to be effectively connected to that trade or business, the non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on those distributions in the same manner as if it were a U.S. Holder.

In general, a non-U.S. Holder is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain resulting from the disposition of our shares unless (a) such gain is effectively connected with the non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment that the non-U.S. Holder maintains in the United States) or (b) the non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in which those shares are disposed of (and certain other requirements are met). If a non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a trade or business within the United States and the disposition of shares is deemed to be effectively connected to that trade or business, the non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the resulting gain in the same manner as if it were a U.S. Holder.

***Information Reporting and Backup Withholding***

In general, payments of distributions with respect to, or the proceeds of a disposition of our shares to a Non-Corporate U.S. Holder will be subject to information reporting requirements. These payments to a Non-Corporate U.S. Holder also may be subject to backup withholding if the Non-Corporate U.S. Holder:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fails to timely provide an accurate taxpayer identification number;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• is notified by the IRS that it has failed to report all interest or distributions required to be shown on its U.S. federal income tax returns; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in certain circumstances, fails to comply with applicable certification requirements.

Non-U.S. Holders may be required to establish their exemption from information reporting and backup withholding on payments made to them within the United States, or through a U.S. payor, by certifying their status on an IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8EXP or W-8IMY, as applicable.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, a shareholder generally may obtain a credit for any amount withheld against its liability for U.S. federal income tax (and obtain a refund of any amounts withheld in excess of such liability) by accurately completing and timely filing a U.S. federal income tax return with the IRS.

**Material Marshall Islands Tax Considerations**

Because we do not, and we do not expect that we will, conduct business or operations in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, under current Marshall Islands law our shareholders will not be subject to Marshall Islands taxation or withholding on distributions, including upon a return of capital, we make to our shareholders. In addition, our shareholders will not be subject to Marshall Islands stamp, capital gains or other taxes on the purchase, ownership or disposition of shares, and our shareholders will not be required by the Republic of the Marshall Islands to file a tax return relating to the shares.

Each prospective shareholder is urged to consult its tax counsel or other advisor with regard to the legal and tax consequences, under the laws of pertinent jurisdictions, including the Marshall Islands, of its investment in us. Further, it is the responsibility of each shareholder to file all state, local and non-U.S., as well as U.S. federal tax returns that may be required of it.

**Material U.K. tax Considerations** 

The following discussion is a summary of the material U.K. tax considerations under current U.K. tax law and HM Revenue & Customs ("HMRC") published practice applying as at the date of this Annual report (both of which are subject to change at any time, possibly with retrospective effect) relating to the holding of Atlas shares by non-U.K. tax resident holders of Atlas shares. It does not constitute legal or tax advice to any particular shareholder and does not purport to be a complete analysis of all U.K. tax considerations relating to the holding of shares, or all of the circumstances in which holders of Atlas shares may benefit from an exemption or relief from U.K. taxation. It is understood that Atlas does not (and will not) derive 75% or more of its qualifying asset value from U.K. land, and that, Atlas is solely resident in the U.K. for tax purposes and will therefore be subject to the U.K. corporation tax regime.

This guide may not relate to certain classes of shareholders, such as (but not limited to):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons who are connected with the company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• financial institutions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• insurance companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• charities or tax-exempt organizations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• collective investment schemes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pension schemes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• market makers, intermediaries, brokers or dealers in securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons who have (or are deemed to have) acquired their shares by virtue of an office or employment or who are or have been officers or employees of the company or any of its affiliates; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• individuals who are subject to U.K. taxation on a remittance basis.

THESE PARAGRAPHS ARE A SUMMARY OF MATERIAL U.K. TAX CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE HOLDING OF ATLAS SHARES AND ARE INTENDED AS A GENERAL GUIDE ONLY. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ALL HOLDERS OF ATLAS SHARES OBTAIN ADVICE AS TO THE CONSEQUENCES OF OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSAL OF ATLAS SHARES IN THEIR OWN SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES FROM THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS. IN PARTICULAR, NON-U.K. RESIDENT OR DOMICILED PERSONS ARE ADVISED TO CONSIDER THE POTENTIAL IMPACT OF ANY RELEVANT DOUBLE TAXATION AGREEMENTS.

***Dividends; Withholding Tax***

Dividends paid by Atlas will not be subject to any withholding or deduction for or on account of U.K. tax.

***Income Tax***

An individual holder of Atlas shares who is not resident for tax purposes in the U.K. will not be chargeable to U.K. income tax on dividends received from Atlas unless he or she carries on (whether solely or in partnership) a trade, profession or vocation in the U.K. through a branch or agency to which the shares are attributable. There are certain exceptions for trading in the U.K. through independent agents, such as some brokers and investment managers.

***Corporation Tax***

A corporate holder of shares who is not resident for tax purposes in the U.K. will not be chargeable to U.K. corporation tax on dividends received from Atlas unless it carries on (whether solely or in partnership) a trade in the U.K. through a permanent establishment to which the shares are attributable.

***Chargeable Gains***

A holder of Atlas shares who is not resident for tax purposes in the U.K. will not generally be liable to U.K. capital gains tax or corporation tax on chargeable gains on a disposal (or deemed disposal) of Atlas shares unless the person is carrying on (whether solely or in partnership) a trade, profession or vocation in the U.K. through a branch, agency or permanent establishment to which the shares are attributable. However, an individual holder of Atlas shares who has ceased to be resident for tax purposes in the U.K. for a period of less than five years and who disposes of Atlas shares during that period may be liable, on his or her return to the U.K., to U.K. tax on any capital gain realized (subject to any available exemption or relief).

***Stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax (SDRT)***

No U.K. stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax ("SDRT") will be payable on the issuance of Atlas shares. U.K. stamp duty will generally not need to be paid on a transfer of Atlas shares, and no U.K. SDRT will be payable in respect of any agreement to transfer Atlas shares unless they are registered in a register kept in the U.K. by or on behalf of Atlas. It is not intended that such a register will be kept in the U.K. The statements in this paragraph summarize the current position on stamp duty and SDRT and are intended as a general guide only. Special rules apply to agreements made by, amongst others, intermediaries and certain categories of person may be liable to stamp duty or SDRT at higher rates. In particular, this paragraph does not consider where shares are issued or transferred to clearance services or depository receipt issuers.

**Item 11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations. We use interest rate swaps to manage interest rate price risks. We enter into capped call transactions to manage exposures to changes in the price of our common shares. We do not use these financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

**Interest Rate Risk**

As of December 31, 2022, our variable-rate credit facilities totaled $1.2 billion, of which we had entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the rates on a notional principal amount of $1.3 billion. These interest rate swaps have a fair value of $105.5 million in our favor.

The tables below provide information about our financial instruments at December 31, 2022 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Please see note 13 – "Long term debt", note 14 – "Operating lease liabilities", note 15 – "Finance lease liabilities" and note 16 – "Other financing arrangements" to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report, which provides additional information with respect to our existing credit and lease facilities.

Counterparties to these financial instruments may expose us to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance. As of December 31, 2022, these financial instruments are in our favor.

non-performance risk, we perform evaluations of our counterparties for credit risk through ongoing monitoring of their financial health and risk profiles to identify funding risk or changes in their credit ratings.

Counterparties to these agreements are major financial institutions, and we consider the risk of loss due to non-performance to be minimal. We do not require collateral from these institutions. We do not hold and will not issue interest rate swaps for trading purposes.

**PART II**

**Item 13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Defaults, Dividend Arrearages and Delinquencies**

None.

**Item 14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Material Modifications to the Rights of Security Holders and Use of Proceeds**

None.

**Item 15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Controls and Procedures**

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), management of Atlas has evaluated, with the participation of each of Atlas's chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of Atlas's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and the management of each Atlas was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.

Based on the foregoing, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Atlas have concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, Atlas's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

**Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting** 

The management of Atlas is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.

Internal control over financial reporting refers to a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Atlas and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and members of the board of directors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process, and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

Management evaluated the effectiveness of Atlas's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 using the framework set forth in the 2013 report of the Treadway Commission's Committee of Sponsoring Organizations.

Based on the foregoing, management has concluded that Atlas's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022.

The effectiveness of Atlas's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 has been audited by KPMG LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited Atlas's December 31, 2022 consolidated annual financial statements, as stated in their report which is included in this Annual Report on Form 20-F.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting** 

Management has evaluated, with the participation of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Atlas, whether any changes in Atlas's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal year have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Atlas's internal control over financial reporting.

There was no change to Atlas's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Atlas's internal control over financial reporting.

**Audit Fees**

Audit fees for 2022 include fees related to our annual audits for Atlas and certain wholly owned subsidiaries, quarterly reviews for Atlas and Seaspan Corporation, and accounting consultations. The 2022 fees also include audit related fees for limited assurance reports related to our sustainability linked financings.

Audit fees for 2021 include fees related to our annual audit, quarterly reviews, and accounting consultations. The 2021 fees also include audit related fees for various registration statements, securities offerings and limited assurance reports related to our sustainability linked financings. The fees for 2021 include the audits of certain wholly owned subsidiaries and quarterly reviews for Seaspan Corporation.

**Tax Fees**

Tax fees for 2022 and 2021 were primarily for tax consultation services related to general tax consultation services and tax compliance, including preparation of corporate income tax returns.

The audit committee has the authority to pre-approve permissible audit-related and non-audit services not prohibited by law to be performed by our independent auditors and associated fees. Engagements for proposed services either may be separately pre-approved by the audit committee or entered into pursuant to detailed pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, as long as the audit committee is informed on a timely basis of any engagement entered into on that basis. The audit committee separately pre-approved all engagements and fees paid to our principal accountant in 2022 and 2021.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Atlas Corp.:

*Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements*

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Atlas Corp. (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity and cumulative redeemable preferred shares, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated March 15, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

*Basis for Opinion*

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

*Critical Audit Matter*

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Assessment of indicators of impairment for vessels

As discussed in Note 2(f) to the consolidated financial statements, property, plant and equipment that are held for use are evaluated for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. Examples of such events or changes in circumstances for vessels ("impairment indicators") include, among others, a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which the asset is being used or in its physical condition; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the asset's value, including an adverse action or assessment by a foreign government that impacts the use of the asset; or a current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses, or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the asset's use. The determination of whether impairment indicators exist requires significant judgment in evaluating underlying significant assumptions including charter rates, utilization rates, operating costs and current vessel market values. The Company did not identify any events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable for the year ended December 31, 2022. As discussed in Note 8 and Note 10, the total carrying value of the Company's vessels, including right-of-use vessels, was $7,543.8 million as of December 31, 2022.

<u>[Table of](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)[Contents](#i1245bd6431cc42b0bc4eecaa92bdf1cd_7)</u>

We identified the assessment of indicators of impairment for vessels as a critical audit matter. A higher degree of subjective auditor judgment was required to assess the Company's determination of whether an indicator of impairment existed, based on the Company's evaluation of the significant assumptions. Changes in these significant assumptions could have changed the Company's conclusion that no indicators of impairment were identified.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company's impairment indicator assessment process. This included controls related to the identification and evaluation of indicators of impairment and underlying significant assumptions. We evaluated significant assumptions used in the Company's evaluation by comparing current charter rates to existing customer contracts and estimates of future charter rates to third-party industry publications for vessels with similar characteristics. We evaluated the Company's anticipated future utilization rates and operating costs assumptions by comparing to the Company's historical utilization rates and operating costs including impacts of inflation. For utilization rates, we also compared anticipated supply and demand conditions that would impact utilization to third party industry publications. We evaluated the Company's assessment of current market values of vessels by comparing to recent vessel purchases and third-party industry publications.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Atlas Corp.:

*Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting* 

We have audited Atlas Corp.'s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity and cumulative redeemable preferred shares, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated March 15, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

*Basis for Opinion* 

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Annual Report on Form 20-F Item 15 under the heading "Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting". Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

*Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting* 

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

**ATLAS CORP.**<br>Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements<br>(Tabular amounts in millions of United States dollars, except per share amount and number of shares)<br>Years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020<br>

**1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;General:** 

Atlas Corp. (the "Company" or "Atlas") owns, leases and operates a fleet of containerships and power generation assets through its containership leasing and mobile power generation segments, respectively. It is a Republic of the Marshall Islands corporation incorporated on October 1, 2019 for the purpose of facilitating the Reorganization (as defined below).

On November 20, 2019, Seaspan Corporation ("Seaspan") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with the Company, then a wholly owned subsidiary of Seaspan, and Seaspan Holdco V Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlas, in order to implement a reorganization of Seaspan's corporate structure into a holding company structure, pursuant to which Seaspan would become a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Atlas (the "Reorganization").

On February 27, 2020, the Reorganization was completed. Common and preferred shareholders of Seaspan (the predecessor publicly held parent company) became common and preferred shareholders of Atlas, as applicable, on a one-for-one basis, maintaining the same number of shares and ownership percentage held in Seaspan immediately prior to the Reorganization. Atlas assumed all of Seaspan's share purchase warrants and equity plans and will perform all relevant obligations.

Atlas common shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "ATCO".

On February 28, 2020, after the Reorganization, Atlas completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding common shares of Apple Bidco Limited, which owns 100% of APR Energy Limited (collectively "APR Energy") (see note 3).

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Significant accounting policies:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basis of preparation:

The Reorganization was accounted for as a transaction among entities under common control under the pooling of interest method and represented a change in reporting entity whereby the financial information of Seaspan prior to the Reorganization was assumed by Atlas on a carry-over basis. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the consolidated historical operations and changes in consolidated financial position of Seaspan, which included the Company as a consolidated subsidiary from its incorporation on October 1, 2019 to February 27, 2020 and those of the Company thereafter, following the Reorganization.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the following accounting policies have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Principles of consolidation :

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Atlas Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The Company also consolidates any variable interest entities ("VIEs") of which it is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the enterprise that has both the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and has the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. The impact of the consolidation of these VIEs is described in note 16.

The Company accounts for its investment in companies in which it has significant influence by the equity method. The Company's proportionate share of earnings is included in earnings and added to or deducted from the cost of the investment.

**ATLAS CORP.**<br>Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)<br>(Tabular amounts in millions of United States dollars, except per share amount and number of shares)<br>Years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020<br>

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Significant accounting policies (continued):**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Foreign currency translation:

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. Transactions involving other currencies are converted into United States dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. At the balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar are translated into United States dollars using exchange rates at that date. Exchange gains and losses are included in net earnings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash equivalents:

Cash equivalents include highly liquid securities with terms to maturity of three months or less when acquired.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Inventories:

Inventories consist primarily of spare parts and consumables. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory cost is primarily determined using average or weighted average cost method, depending on the nature of the inventory.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less costs to complete, disposal and transportation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Property, plant and equipment:

*Vessels*

Except as described below, vessels are recorded at their cost, which consists of the purchase price, acquisition and delivery costs, less accumulated depreciation.

Vessels purchased from Seaspan's predecessor upon completion of Seaspan's initial public offering in 2005 were initially recorded at the predecessor's carrying value.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each vessel, which is 30 years from the date of completion. The Company calculates depreciation based on the estimated remaining useful life and the expected salvage value of the vessel.

*Vessels under construction*

Vessels under construction include deposits, installment payments, interest, financing costs, transaction fees, construction design, supervision costs, and other pre-delivery costs incurred during the construction period.

*Power generating equipment*

Power generating equipment are recorded at their cost, which represent their original cost at the time of purchase, less accumulated depreciation. Costs incurred to mobilize and install power-generating equipment pursuant to a contract for the provision of power generation services are recorded in property, plant and equipment and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable lease term to which the power generating equipment relates.

A summary of the useful lives used for calculating depreciation and amortization is as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Turbines | 25 years |
| Generators | 15 years |
| Transformers | 15 years |

**ATLAS CORP.**<br>Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)<br>(Tabular amounts in millions of United States dollars, except per share amount and number of shares)<br>Years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020<br>

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Significant accounting policies (continued):**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Property, plant and equipment (continued):

Property, plant and equipment that are held for use are evaluated for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. Such evaluations include the comparison of current and anticipated operating cash flows, assessment of future operations and other relevant factors. If the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment exceeds the estimated net undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated over the asset's remaining useful life, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vessel dry-dock activities:

Classification society rules require that vessels be dry-docked for inspection including planned major maintenance and overhaul activities for ongoing certification. The Company generally dry-docks its vessels once every five years. Dry-docking activities include the inspection, refurbishment and replacement of steel, engine components, electrical, pipes and valves, and other parts of the vessel. The Company uses the deferral method of accounting for dry-dock activities whereby capital costs incurred are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period until the next scheduled dry-dock activity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Business combinations:

Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method. The acquired identifiable net assets are measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. Deferred taxes are recognized for any differences between the fair value of net assets acquired and the related tax basis. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. Associated transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Goodwill:

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired enterprise over the fair value assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. When goodwill is reviewed for impairment, the Company may elect to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. Alternatively, the Company may bypass this step and use a fair value approach to identify potential goodwill impairment and, when necessary, measure the amount of impairment. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of reporting units, unless there is a readily determinable fair market value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Asset retirement obligations:

The Company records a provision and a corresponding long-lived asset for asset retirement obligations ("ARO") when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of long-lived assets and the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The fair value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flows discounted at the Company's credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. The liability is accreted up to the cost of retirement through interest expense over the non-cancellable lease term. The long-lived asset is depreciated straight-line over the same period. Changes in the amount or timing of the estimated ARO are recorded as an adjustment to the related asset and liability or to depreciation expense if the asset is fully depreciated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Deferred financing fees:

Deferred financing fees represent the unamortized costs incurred on issuance of the Company's credit facilities and other financing arrangements and are presented as a direct deduction from the related debt liability when available. Amortization of deferred financing fees on credit facilities is provided on the effective interest rate method over the term of the facility based on amounts available under the facilities. Amortization of deferred financing fees on other financing arrangements is provided on the effective interest rate method over the term of the underlying obligation. Amortization of deferred financing fees is recorded as interest expense.

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Significant accounting policies (continued):**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Revenue:

*Containership leasing revenue*

The Company derives revenue from the charter of its containership vessels. Each charter agreement is evaluated and classified as an operating lease or financing lease based on the lease term, fair value associated with the lease and any purchase options or obligations. The assessment is done at lease commencement and reassessed only when a modification occurs that is not considered a separate contract.

Charters classified as operating leases include a lease component associated with the use of the vessel and a non-lease component related to vessel management. Total consideration in the lease agreement is allocated between the lease and non-lease components based on their relative standalone selling prices. For arrangements where the timing and pattern of transfer to the lessee is consistent between the lease and non-lease components and the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease, the Company has elected to treat the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Revenue is recognized each day the vessels are on-hire, managed and performance obligations are satisfied.

For charters that are classified as direct financing leases and sales-type leases, the present value of minimum lease payments and any unguaranteed residual value are recognized as net investment in lease. The discount rate used in determining the present values is the interest rate implicit in the lease. The lower of the fair value of the vessel based on information available at lease commencement date and the present value of the minimum lease payments computed using the interest rate implicit specific to each lease, represents the price, from which the carrying value of the vessel and any initial direct costs are deducted in order to determine the selling profit or loss.

For financing leases that are classified as direct financing leases, the unearned lease interest income including any selling profit and initial direct costs are deferred and amortized to income over the period of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in lease. Any selling loss is recognized at lease commencement date.

For financing leases that are classified as sales-type leases, any selling profit or loss is recognized at lease commencement date. Initial direct costs are expensed at lease commencement date if the fair value of the vessel is different from its carrying amount. If the fair value of the vessel is equal to its carrying amount, initial direct costs are deferred and amortized to income over the term of the lease.

*Power generation revenue*

The Company also derives revenue from lease and service contracts that provide customers with comprehensive power generation services that include leasing of the power generation equipment, installation and dismantling services, operations and maintenance of the power generating equipment ("O&M"), operations monitoring and logistical support.

The Company earns a fixed portion of revenue on these contracts by providing megawatt capacity to its customers. Each power equipment lease contract may, depending on its terms, contain a lease component, a non-lease component or both. Lease classification is determined on a contract-specific basis. Total consideration in contracts that include a lease component associated with the use of the power-generation equipment and a non-lease component related to O&M is allocated between the lease and non-lease components based on their relative standalone selling prices. For arrangements where the timing and pattern of transfer to the lessee is consistent between the lease and non-lease components and the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease, the Company has elected to treat the components as a single lease component. Revenue is recognized over the period in which the equipment is available to the customer for use and service is provided to the customer.

Certain contracts provide for mobilization and decommissioning payments. Mobilization revenue received up front is deferred and recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. Decommissioning revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contract, as it is earned.

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Significant accounting policies (continued):**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Leases:

Leases classified as operating leases, where the Company is the lessee, are recorded as lease liabilities based on the present value of minimum lease payments over the lease term, discounted using the lessor's rate implicit in the lease for each individual lease arrangement or the Company's incremental borrowing rate, if the lessor's implicit rate is not readily determinable. The lease term includes all periods covered by renewal and termination options where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the renewal options or not to exercise the termination options. Corresponding right-of-use assets are recognized consisting of the lease liabilities, initial direct costs and any lease incentive payments.

Lease liabilities are drawn down as lease payments are made and right-of-use assets are depreciated over the term of the lease. Operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, consisting of interest accrued on the lease liability and depreciation of the right-of-use asset, adjusted for changes in index-based variable lease payments in the period of change.

Lease payments on short-term operating leases with lease terms of 12 months or less are expensed as incurred.

Transactions are accounted for as sale-leaseback transactions when control of the asset is transferred. For sale-leaseback transactions, where the Company is the seller-lessee, any gains or losses on sale are recognized upon transfer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Derivative financial instruments:

From time to time, the Company utilizes derivative financial instruments. All of the Company's derivatives are measured at their fair value at the end of each period. Derivatives that mature within one year are classified as current. For derivatives not designated as accounting hedges, changes in their fair value are recorded in earnings.

The Company's hedging policies permit the use of various derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk.

The Company had previously designated certain of its interest rate swaps as accounting hedges and applied hedge accounting to those instruments. By September 30, 2008, the Company de-designated all of the interest rate swaps it had accounted for as hedges to that date. Subsequent to their de-designation dates, changes in their fair value are recorded in earnings.

The Company evaluates whether the occurrence of any of the previously hedged interest payments are considered to be remote. When the previously hedged interest payments are not considered remote of occurring, unrealized gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with the previously designated interest rate swaps are recognized in earnings when and where the interest payments are recognized. If such interest payments are identified as being remote, the accumulated other comprehensive income balance pertaining to these amounts is reversed through earnings immediately.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Income taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the anticipated future tax effects of temporary differences between the accounting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities using the applicable jurisdictional tax rates. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only if it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Significant accounting policies (continued):**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Share-based compensation:

The Company grants phantom share units, restricted shares, restricted stock units and stock options to certain of its officers, members of management and directors as compensation. Compensation cost is measured at the grant date fair values as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Restricted shares, phantom share units and restricted stock units are measured based on the quoted market price of the Company's common shares on the date of the grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Stock options are measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes model.

The fair value of each grant is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures in share-based compensation expense as they occur.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(q)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fair value measurement:

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the observability of inputs as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 — Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(r)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Earnings per share:

The treasury stock method is used to compute the dilutive effect of the Company's share-based compensation awards, warrants and convertible instruments, where the presumption of share settlement has been overcome. Under this method, the incremental number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share ("EPS") is the difference between the number of shares assumed issued and purchased using assumed proceeds.

The if-converted method is used to compute the dilutive effect of the Company's convertible instruments where the presumption of share settlement has not been overcome. Under the if-converted method, the instruments are assumed to have been converted at the share price applicable at the end of the period, if dilutive.

Contingently issuable shares are included in diluted EPS as of the beginning of the period, if contingencies are satisfied by the end of the period. If contingencies have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the number of contingently issuable shares included in diluted EPS is based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period, if the result is dilutive.

The cumulative dividends applicable to the Series D, E, G, H, I and J preferred shares reduce the earnings available to common shareholders, even if not declared.

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Significant accounting policies (continued):**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(s)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Use of estimates:

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reported amounts of assets and liabilities,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting fiscal periods.

Areas where accounting judgments and estimates are significant to the Company and where actual results could differ from those estimates, include, but are not limited to the:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• assessment of going concern;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• assessment of property, plant and equipment useful lives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expected salvage values;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• recoverability of the carrying value of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives which are subject to future market events;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• recoverable value of goodwill;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from business combination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fair value of asset retirement obligations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fair value of interest rate swaps, other derivative financial instruments and contingent consideration asset.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(t)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Comparative information:

Certain information has been reclassified to conform to the financial statement presentation adopted for the current year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(u)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Recently adopted accounting pronouncements:

*Measurement of credit loss*

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Loss on Financial Instruments". ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with the expected credit loss impairment model ("CECL"), which requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate expected credit losses over the life of the instrument instead of only when losses are incurred. This standard applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost basis and net investments in leases recognized by the lessor. Upon adoption, a cumulative effect adjustment of $2,293,000 was made to deficit as part of the modified retrospective transition approach.

*Simplifying test for goodwill impairment*

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." ASU 2017-04 eliminates the need to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit to measure the implied goodwill impairment. As a result of the adoption, the Company now calculates goodwill impairment as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds fair value of a reporting unit, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Significant accounting policies (continued):**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(u)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Recently adopted and future accounting pronouncements (continued):

*Discontinuation of LIBOR*

The Company adopted ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)", prospectively to contract modifications. The guidance provides optional relief for the discontinuation of LIBOR resulting from rate reform. Contract terms that are modified due to the replacement of a reference rate are not required to be remeasured or reassessed under FASB's relevant U.S. GAAP Topic. The election is available by Topic. The Company has elected to apply the optional relief for contracts under ASC 470, "Debt", ASC 840 and 842, "Leases", and ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging". There was no impact to the Company's financial statements upon initial adoption. The LIBOR replacement modifications for Debt contracts will be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate in the agreements. Existing lease and derivative contracts will require no reassessments. Transition activities are focused on the conversion of existing LIBOR based contracts to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate.

*Debt with conversion and other options*

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06, "Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)" ("ASU 2020-06"), using the modified retrospective method, whereby the cumulative effect adjustment was made as of the date of the initial application. Accordingly, financial information and disclosures in the comparative period were not restated. The impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 resulted in an adjustment of $5,073,000 to opening retained earnings at January 1, 2022 related to the unamortized debt discount that was initially recorded when the convertible notes were issued. Under ASU 2020-06, the accounting for convertible debt instruments is simplified by reducing the number of accounting models and circumstances when embedded conversion features are separately recognized. This update also revises the method in which diluted earnings per share is calculated related to certain instruments with conversion features, among other clarifications. As a result of the adoption, the Company recognizes the maximum potential dilutive effect of its exchangeable notes in diluted EPS using the if-converted method effective January 1, 2022.

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Acquisition of Apple Bidco Limited** 

On February 28, 2020, the Company acquired 100.0% of the share capital of APR Energy from Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. and its affiliates ("Fairfax") and certain other minority shareholders (collectively, the "Sellers"). Fairfax held 67.8% of APR Energy's common shares. APR Energy owns and operates a fleet of capital-intensive assets, including gas turbines and other power generation equipment, and provides power solutions to customers through various contracts.

At closing, Atlas issued 29,891,266 common shares and reserved 6,664,270 common shares for future issuance (the "Holdback Shares"). The Holdback Shares are issuable over a period of 90 days to five years after the date of acquisition and are subject to settlement of purchase price adjustments, indemnification arrangements and other future compensable events. These arrangements may be settled, at the Sellers' option, by either cancellation of Holdback Shares or cash. In the case of purchase price adjustments, and certain inventory mechanisms, if Holdback Shares are insufficient, Sellers may choose to compensate the Company in cash or cancel previously issued common shares. Any Holdback Shares that are not cancelled after the expiry of their respective holdback periods, will be issued to the Sellers, plus any accrued distributions or dividends.

The net purchase price of $287,700,000 comprises of the following. Adjustments have been made from what was originally reported as a result of settlement of purchase price adjustments:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup>The fair value was determined based on the closing market price of common shares on February 28, 2020, the acquisition date. As at December 31, 2022, the indemnifications relating to these Holdback Shares have expired and as a result, these Holdback Shares have all either been cancelled or released and issued to the selling shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(2)</sup>Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the Sellers are required to compensate the Company for losses on cash repatriation from a foreign jurisdiction related to specified contracts. Losses on cash repatriation is recognized in other expenses in the period incurred. Subsequently, Fairfax had agreed, subject to definitive documentation, to compensate the Company for future losses realized on sale or disposal of certain property, plant and equipment and inventory items (note 12(d)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(3)</sup>During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Sellers forfeited their rights to receive 577,139 Holdback Shares and returned 1,849,641 previously issued common shares to the Company. Of this number, 1,122,290 shares were permanently forfeited as part of post-closing purchase price adjustments. The remaining 727,351 shares were held in reserve as treasury shares. The shares held in reserve were issuable to the Sellers at a future date, subject to settlement of potential indemnified events. In addition, the Company agreed to issue 5-year warrants to purchase 5,000,000 common shares at an exercise price of $13.00 per share to Fairfax. The warrants were issued in April 2021. In March 2023, the 727,351 shares held in reserve were issued to the Sellers.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup>Consists of indemnification assets recognized on acquisition. The Sellers are required to indemnify the Company for certain legal and tax matters through cancellation of the Holdback Shares or in cash, at the Sellers' option. For certain of these arrangements, if the Holdback Shares are insufficient, Fairfax may be required to compensate the Company in cash. The amount to be indemnified is subject to the aggregate losses incurred at settlement of these legal and tax matters. The amount recognized is equal to the liabilities accrued for such legal and tax matters, based on the Company's best estimates. For certain other indemnification arrangements, Fairfax is required to compensate the Company in cash, without minority shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(2)</sup>The gross contractual accounts receivables acquired is $57.0 million. The amount not expected to be collected is $7.9 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(3)</sup>Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company refinanced the debt facilities acquired (note 13).

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Acquisition of Apple Bidco Limited (continued):**

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other current assets (consisting of prepaid expenses), accounts payable and accrued liabilities, income taxes payable and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. The fair value of long-term debt and other assets are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and determined based on expected payments. The fair values of contingent consideration assets, inventory, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and asset retirement obligation included in other long-term liabilities were categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and were determined using relevant market assumptions, including comparable sales and cost data, discount rates and future cash flows.

As part of the acquisition, the Company recorded $117,900,000 of goodwill resulting from expected synergies in congruence with APR's unique position in the power generation market, which is not deductible for tax purposes and has been assigned to the power generation segment.

During the years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $4,000, $130,000 and $1,498,000, respectively, of acquisition related costs that were included in general and administrative expense.

**4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Segment reporting:**

For management purposes, the Company is organized based on its two leasing businesses and has two reportable segments, containership leasing and mobile power generation.

As part of the Company's annual goodwill impairment test, it was determined that the carrying value of the mobile power generation reporting unit exceeded its fair value, as a result of potential strategic repositioning contemplated subsequent to acquisition. Fair value was determined using a discounted cash flow approach. As a result, an impairment loss of $117,900,000 equal to the balance of goodwill related to the mobile power generation reporting unit, was recognized in 2020.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Credit facilities – other:

As at December 31, 2022, the Company's credit facilities were secured by first-priority mortgages granted on most of its power generation assets and 53 of its vessels together with other related security. The security for each of the Company's current secured credit facilities includes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A first priority mortgage on collateral assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An assignment of the insurance policies covering each of the collateral assets that are subject to a related mortgage and/or security interest;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An assignment of the Company's related shipbuilding contracts and the corresponding refund guarantees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A pledge over shares of various subsidiaries; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A pledge over the related retention accounts.

As at December 31, 2022, $938,703,000 principal amount of indebtedness under the Company's term loan and revolving credit facilities, together with $1,000,000,000 of sustainability-linked fixed rate notes with maturities from June 2031 to September 2037, was secured by a portfolio of 48 vessels, the composition of which can be changed, and is subject to a borrowing base and portfolio concentration requirements, as well as compliance with financial covenants and certain negative covenants.

The Company may prepay certain amounts outstanding without penalty, other than breakage costs in certain circumstances, with the exception of one term loan credit facility, where the Company may prepay borrowings up to March 6, 2023 with penalties and thereafter without penalty. A prepayment may be required as a result of certain events, including change of control and, where applicable, the sale or loss of assets or a termination or expiration of certain lease agreements (and the inability to enter into a lease replacing the terminated or expired lease suitable to lenders within a specified period of time). The amount that must be prepaid may be calculated based on the loan to market value. In these circumstances, valuations of the Company's assets are conducted on a "without lease" and/or "orderly liquidation" basis as required under the credit facility agreement.

Each credit facility contains a mix of financial covenants requiring the borrower and/or guarantor of the facility to maintain minimum liquidity, tangible net worth, interest and principal coverage ratios, and debt-to-assets ratios, as defined. Each of Atlas and Seaspan are guarantors under certain facilities.

Some of the facilities also have an interest and principal coverage ratio, debt service coverage and vessel value requirement for the subsidiary borrower. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as at December 31, 2022.

If the sustainability performance targets are not met during the term of the Bonds, the Bonds will be settled at maturity at 100.5% of the initial principal. The Bonds are listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange.

In May 2021, the Company exchanged an aggregate principal amount of $52,198,825 7.125% senior notes due 2027 of its wholly owned subsidiary, Seaspan Corporation (the "Seaspan Notes"), for an equivalent amount of its 7.125% senior notes due 2027 (the "Atlas Notes"), registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and listed on the Nasdaq Global Market.

On December 21, 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Seaspan Corporation issued $201,250,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.75% exchangeable senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the "Exchangeable Notes") in a private placement. The Exchangeable Notes are exchangeable at the holders' option into an aggregate of 15,474,817 Atlas common shares at an initial exchange price of $13.005 per share, in equivalent cash or a combination of Atlas common shares and cash, as elected by the Company, on or after September 15, 2020, or earlier in the following circumstances:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• After December 31, 2020, if the last reported price of an Atlas common share is at least 130% of the exchange price then in effect over a specified measurement period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Exchangeable Notes during a specified measurement period is less than 98% of the last reported sale price on Atlas common shares multiplied by the applicable exchange rate; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Upon the occurrence of certain significant corporate events, or in response to early redemption elected by the Company.

The exchange price is subject to anti-dilution and make-whole clauses.

The holders may require the Company to redeem the Exchangeable Notes held by them upon the occurrence of certain corporate events qualifying as a fundamental change in the business. The Company may redeem the Exchangeable Notes in connection with certain tax-related events or on any business day on or after December 20, 2023 and prior to September 15, 2025, if the last reported sale price of an Atlas common share is at least 130% of the exchange price during a specified measurement period. A redemption of the Exchangeable Notes is made at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Exchangeable Notes mature on December 15, 2025, unless earlier exchanged, repurchased or redeemed.

**13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Long term debt (continued):**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)Senior Unsecured Exchangeable Notes (continued):

Upon issuance, the proceeds from the Exchangeable Notes were allocated between debt, measured at fair value of $195,000,000 and equity of $6,250,000 representing the residual value related to the conversion feature. The difference between the face value and carrying value of the debt reflects the debt discount, which is amortized through interest expense using an effective interest rate of 4.5%, over the remaining life of the debt. Interest payment is semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2021.

Capped Call Transactions

In connection with the issuance of the Exchangeable Notes, the Company entered into capped call transactions with affiliates of certain of the initial purchasers of the Exchangeable Notes and other financial institutions, using $15,536,000 in proceeds from the issuance, to reduce the potential dilution to Atlas common shares upon any exchange of notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make upon exchange of the Exchangeable Notes, in excess of the principal amount. They may be settled in cash, shares, or a combination of cash and shares as determined by the settlement method of the Exchangeable Notes, at a strike price with underlying shares equal to that of the Exchangeable Notes and subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Exchangeable Notes. The capped calls are exercisable up to a maximum price of $17.85 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The instruments expire on December 15, 2025.

Operating lease liabilities relate to vessel sale-leaseback transactions and other operating leases. Vessel sale-leaseback transactions under operating lease arrangements are in part, indexed to three month LIBOR, reset on a quarterly basis. For one of the Company's vessel operating leases, an option to repurchase the vessel exists at the end of its lease term. For all other arrangements, the lease may be terminated prior to the end of the lease term, at the option of the Company, by repurchasing the respective vessels on a specified repurchase date at a pre-determined fair value amount. For one of these arrangements, if the Company elects not to repurchase the vessel, the lessor may choose not to continue the lease until the end of its term. Each sale-leaseback transaction contains financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain certain tangible net worth, interest coverage ratios and debt-to-assets ratios, as defined. These vessels are leased to customers under time charter arrangements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup>The weighted average discount rate is based on a fixed rate at the time the lease was entered into and is adjusted quarterly as each lease payment is made.

In September 2021, the Company amended an operating lease for one vessel to extend the term for an additional five years. The amendment resulted in the continuation of its treatment as an operating lease. The reassessment due to the modification resulted in an increase of $5,753,000 to lease liabilities and a corresponding increase to right-of-use assets.

**16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other financing arrangements (continued):**

The Company, through certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, has entered into non-recourse or limited recourse sale-leaseback arrangements with financial institutions to fund the acquisition of vessels.

Under these arrangements, the Company has agreed to transfer the vessels to the counterparties and lease the vessels back from the counterparties over the applicable lease term as a financing lease arrangement. In the arrangements where the shipbuilding contracts are novated to the counterparties, the counterparties assume responsibility for the remaining payments under the shipbuilding contracts.

In certain of the arrangements, the counterparties are companies whose only assets and operations are to hold the Company's leases and vessels. The Company operates the vessels during the lease term, supervises the vessels' construction before the lease term begins, if applicable, and/or is required to purchase the vessels from the counterparties at the end of the lease term. As a result, in most cases, the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the counterparties and consolidates the counterparties for financial reporting purposes. In all cases, these arrangements are considered failed-sales. The vessels are recorded as an asset and the obligations under these arrangements are recorded as a liability. The terms of the leases are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Leases for five 11,000 TEU vessels:

Under these arrangements, the counterparty has provided financing of $420,750,000. The 17-year lease terms began between August 2017 and January 2018, which were the vessels' delivery dates.

At delivery, the Company sold and leased the vessels back over the term of the sale-leaseback transactions. At the end of the lease terms, the Company is obligated to purchase the vessels at a pre-determined purchase price. In October 2020, the Company made a prepayment of $71,084,000 on the remaining principal balance of one of the 11,000 TEU vessels under sales-leaseback financing arrangement. In January 2021, the Company made a payment of $69,166,000 to early terminate a sale-leaseback financing arrangement secured by one 11,000 TEU vessel. In March 2021, the Company entered into a new sale-leaseback financing arrangement of $83,700,000, secured by the same 11,000 TEU vessel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Leases for four 12,000 TEU vessels:

As a result of the acquisition of APR Energy, the Company operates in countries that have differing tax laws and rates. Therefore, a consolidated weighted average tax rate will vary from year to year according to the source of earnings or losses by country and the change in applicable tax rates. Prior to the APR Energy acquisition, the Company was subject to nominal income taxes primarily due to international shipping reciprocal exemptions for the containership segment. For the year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the reconciliation between the effective tax rate of 0.38% and 7.61%, respectively, and the statutory UK income tax rate of 19.00% is as follows:

As at December 31, 2022, the Company has foreign tax losses carried forward of $495,765,000 (2021 – $331,024,000), of which $3,500,000 is recognized as a deferred tax asset. No deferred tax asset is recognised on the remaining balance of $492,266,000 on the basis that no tax benefit is expected to arise in the jurisdictions where the tax losses occurred. The material tax losses carried forward generally have no expiry date. The Company's ability to utilize the net operating loss and tax credit carry forward may be subject to restriction in the event of past or future ownership changes as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar tax law.

Tax years that remain open to examination by some of the major jurisdictions in which the Company is subject to tax range from two to four years.

As at December 31, 2022, the Company had income tax payable of $72,252,000 (2021 – $96,900,000). This balance includes cash taxes payable and a reserve for global uncertain tax positions.

The Company's uncertain tax positions relate primarily to items that were acquired as part of the APR Energy acquisition. Substantially all of these items are indemnified and a corresponding indemnification asset has been recorded (note 3). The Company does not presently anticipate that its provisions for these uncertain tax positions will significantly increase in the next 12 months. The Company reviews its tax obligations regularly and may update its assessment of its tax positions based on available information at the time.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, permits net operating loss ("NOL") carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2022. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in tax years ending before January 1, 2019, 2020, and 2021 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. The Company evaluated the impact of the CARES Act, and determined that on certain amended income tax returns it was able to carryback $54,459,000 in NOLs from its tax years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 to partially offset income in the tax year ended December 31, 2018.

**19.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Preferred shares and share capital:**

On February 27, 2020, upon completion of the Reorganization, the common shares of Seaspan, the predecessor of Atlas, was exchanged for Atlas common shares on a one-for-one basis. The Company has 400,000,000 Class A common shares authorized at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, with a par value of $0.01 per share.

On February 28, 2020, the Company issued 29,891,266 common shares and reserved 6,664,270 common shares for holdback as part of the consideration paid for the acquisition of the shares of APR Energy (note 3). Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company issued 775,139 common shares to Fairfax to settle APR Energy's indebtedness to Fairfax at closing.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Sellers returned 1,849,641 previously issued common shares to the Company and 557,139 Holdback Shares were cancelled. Of the common shares returned, 1,122,290 shares were permanently forfeited as part of post-closing purchase price adjustments. The remaining 727,351 shares are held in reserve as treasury shares. These shares may be issuable to the Sellers at a future date, subject to settlement of potential indemnified events. As of December 31, 2022, 727,351 common shares are issuable as Holdback Shares, including 727,351 shares held in treasury.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, 92,444 (December 31, 2021 – 350,138) shares were released from holdback and issued to the Sellers. Upon expiration of an indemnification, the remaining Holdback Shares of 2,749,898 were released and issued to the minority sellers in June 2022.

The Company has a dividend reinvestment program ("DRIP") that allows interested shareholders to reinvest all or a portion of cash dividends received in the Company's common shares. If new common shares are issued by the Company, the reinvestment price is equal to the average price of the Company's common shares for the five days immediately prior to the reinvestment, less a discount. The discount rate is set by the Board of Directors and is currently 3%. If common shares are purchased in the open market, the reinvestment price is equal to the average price per share paid.

**21.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Share-based compensation:**

In December 2005, Seaspan's board of directors adopted the Seaspan Corporation Stock Incentive Plan, which was administered by Seaspan's board of directors and, under which its officers, employees and directors could be granted options, restricted shares, phantom share units and other stock-based awards as determined by the Seaspan board of directors. Upon consummation of the Reorganization, Atlas assumed Seaspan's equity-based compensation plans, including the Seaspan Corporation Stock Incentive Plan. Awards previously granted under the Seaspan Corporation Stock Incentive Plan are now exercisable for Atlas common shares instead of Seaspan common shares.

In connection with the Reorganization, the Seaspan Plan was amended and restated as the Atlas Corp. Stock Incentive Plan (the "Atlas Plan"). In June 2020, the Atlas Plan was amended and restated to increase the number of common shares issuable under the Atlas Plan from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000.

At December 31, 2022, there are 5,172,244 (December 31, 2021 – 1,149,008) remaining shares left for issuance under this Plan.

**24.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Financial instruments:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Fair value:

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, restricted cash, accounts receivable, income tax payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of their short term to maturity.

As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company's revolving credit facilities and term loan credit facilities, excluding deferred financing fees was $1,166,673,000 (December 31, 2021 – $2,326,568,000) and the carrying value was $1,232,988,000 (December 31, 2021 – $2,341,879,000). As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company's other financing arrangements, excluding deferred financing fees, was $2,061,863,000 (December 31, 2021 – $1,419,508,000) and the carrying value was $2,119,657,000 (December 31, 2021 – $1,363,098,000). The fair value of the revolving and term loan credit facilities and other financing arrangements, excluding deferred financing fees, was estimated based on expected principal repayments and interest, discounted by relevant forward rates plus a margin appropriate to the credit risk of the Company. Therefore, the Company categorized the fair value of these financial instruments as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company's senior unsecured notes is $1,284,702,000 (December 31, 2021 – $1,349,212,000) and the carrying value is $1,302,350,000 (December 31, 2021 – $1,302,350,000). The fair value of the Company's Senior Unsecured Exchangeable Notes was $195,478,000 (December 31, 2021 – $209,566,000) and the carrying value was $201,250,000 (December 31, 2021 – $201,250,000) or $201,250,000 (December 31, 2021 – $196,177,000), net of debt discount. The fair value of the Company's Senior Secured Notes was $937,455,000 and the carrying value was $1,000,000,000. The fair value was calculated using the present value of expected principal repayments and interest discounted by relevant forward rates plus a margin appropriate to the credit risk of the Company. As a result, these amounts were categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Unobservable inputs for recurring and non-recurring Level 3 disclosures are obtained from third parties whenever possible and reviewed by the Company for reasonableness.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Interest rate swap derivatives:

The Company uses interest rate derivative financial instruments, consisting of interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk associated with its variable rate debt. If interest rates remain at their current levels, the Company expects that $891,000 and $32,721,000 would be paid and received in cash, respectively, in the next 12 months on interest rate swaps maturing after December 31, 2022.The amount of the actual settlement may be different depending on the interest rate in effect at the time settlements are made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Revolving Loans</u>. Each Revolving Lender severally, and not jointly with the other Revolving Lenders, agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, to make revolving loans to the Borrower at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Loan Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed, when added to such Revolving Lender's L/C Exposure (each a "<u>Revolving Loan</u>" and collectively, the "<u>Revolving Loans</u>"), the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender, which Revolving Loans may be repaid and re-borrowed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Each Borrowing of a Revolving Loan shall, subject to clause 2.02(c) below, be made from the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Loan Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Revolving Lender to make any Revolving Loan shall not in itself relieve the other Revolving Lenders of their obligations to lend. At no time shall the sum of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans plus the L/C Exposure exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment. Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Revolving Lender shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Maturity Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)<u>Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowing</u>. Borrower may borrow Revolving Loans under the Revolving Loan Commitment on any Business Day during the Revolving Loan Availability Period, <u>provided</u> that Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Borrowing Request (which must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York time three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, and (iii) the initial Interest Period therefor. Each borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be in an amount equal to at least US$4,000,000 or a whole multiple of US$1,000,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of such Borrowing Request from Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof. Each Revolving Lender will, subject to clause 2.02(c) below, make the amount of its pro rata share of Revolving Loans available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower prior to 12:00 Noon, New York time, on the Borrowing Date requested by Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Lender may, at its option, make any Revolving Loan available to the Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Revolving Lender to make such Revolving Loan; <u>provided</u> that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Revolving Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Such borrowing amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Revolving Lenders will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the Collection Account or, at the Borrower's option, by effecting a wire transfer of such amounts to an account designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent. Not more than 5 Interest Periods in respect of Revolving Loans shall be outstanding at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Procedure for Single Lender Letters of Credit</u>. If the Borrower requests the issuance of a Single Lender Letter of Credit from a Single Lender Issuing Bank, such issuance shall be made from the Revolving Loan Commitments of the applicable Single Lender Issuing Bank only and not pro rata in accordance with the respective Revolving Loan Commitments of each Revolving Lender. In such circumstances, all subsequent Credit Extensions in respect of Revolving Loans shall be adjusted such that the pro rata share of any Single Lender Issuing Bank is reduced and reallocated to the other Revolving Lenders pro rata so that, as far as possible, the share of all Revolving Lenders in all Credit Extensions in respect of the Revolving Loans is pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Loan Commitments.

SECTION 2.03 <u>Repayment Schedules.</u> 

(i)Each Obligor hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that as at the Restatement Date the Term Loan Required Payments (reflecting drawn Tranche A Commitments) which are outstanding are set out in the repayment schedule prepared as of the Restatement Date set forth in Schedule 2.03.

(ii)Promptly following the issuance of the first Borrowing Request in respect of the Tranche B, the Administrative Agent will, in consultation with the Borrower and the Term Lenders, prepare a revised repayment schedule in respect of the Term Loan, and promptly following the issuance of each subsequent Borrowing Request in respect of the Term Loan, the Administrative Agent will, in consultation with the Borrower and the Term Lenders, revise the repayment schedule in respect of the Term Loan to take into account the additional advance being made under such Borrowing Request (the "<u>Repayment Schedule</u>"). The Repayment Schedule will be prepared on the basis that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;41

#4866-5228-1161

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)the Borrower will repay the Term Loan in instalments on each Payment Date (the "<u>Term Loan Required Payments</u>"); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)the Term Loan will amortize, commencing on the Restatement Date until the Maturity Date, at a rate of 8% per annum, which rate shall be calculated on the basis of the aggregate amount of the Term Loan which has been advanced (excluding any amortization payments which have previously been made) as at the applicable Payment Date, and such annual repayments shall be split pro rata over each of the applicable Payment Dates.

(iii)The Administrative Agent and the Borrower will agree to such revised Repayment Schedule prior to the relevant Borrowing Date.

(iv)If any optional partial prepayment of the Term Loan is made pursuant to Section 2.05(a), or any amount of the Term Loan is prepaid as a result of a Cash Sweep Event, such amounts shall reduce the Term Loan Required Payments pro rata (or, if the Borrower makes an election in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(ii)(y), the next in time amortization payment(s) only) and the Administrative Agent will, in consultation with the Borrower and the Term Lenders, revise the repayment schedule to take into account the relevant partial prepayment and its required manner of application pursuant hereto. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower will agree to such Repayment Schedule whereupon it shall automatically be deemed to be the "Repayment Schedule" for the purposes of this Agreement

SECTION 2.04 <u>Repayment of the Loans</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Term Loan</u>. The Borrower shall repay the Term Loan as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Optional Prepayments</u>. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part without premium or penalty; <u>provided</u> that (i) such notice shall be in the form of a written Prepayment Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, or may be given by telephone to the Administrative Agent (if promptly confirmed by such a written Prepayment Notice consistent with such telephonic notice) and must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) three Business Days before the date of prepayment; (ii) such Prepayment Notice shall specify (A) whether such prepayment shall be applied to repay the outstanding Revolving Loans of the Revolving Lenders and/or prepay the Term Loans of the Term Lenders and/or prepay outstanding principal under other Program Debt Documents, (B) the prepayment date and (C) the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; and (iii) each such partial prepayment shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each Prepayment Notice shall be irrevocable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;42

#4866-5228-1161

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)<u>Application</u>. Each optional prepayment of a Borrowing shall (i) in the case of an optional prepayment of the Revolving Loan, reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loan and, (ii) in the case of an optional prepayment of the Term Loan, be applied (x) to reduce all Term Loan Required Payments *pro rata*, or (y) if the Borrower so directs in relation to any optional partial prepayment of the Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.05(a), against the next in time amortization payment(s) only. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.08, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.13. Any amounts of the Revolving Loans that are repaid under this Section 2.05 may be re-borrowed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Permanent Commitment Reductions</u>. Borrower may, at its option from time to time, permanently reduce, in whole or in part, the Revolving Commitments upon at least three (3) Business Days' prior written notice to Agent, which notice shall specify the amount and effective date of the reduction and shall be irrevocable once given. Each reduction (i) in the case of a partial reduction, shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or an increment of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) shall not reduce the aggregate Revolving Commitments to an amount less than the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans outstanding at such time plus (B) the outstanding L/C Obligations at such time (unless accompanied by a corresponding prepayment of such outstanding Revolving Loans).

SECTION 2.06 <u>Mandatory Prepayments.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>[Reserved]</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)<u>Illegality</u>. If it is or will be unlawful in any jurisdiction for a Lender to perform any of its obligations under any Loan Documents, or to fund or maintain its share in the Loans, or any Obligor is or becomes a Sanctioned Person, and the Lender (or in the case of any Obligor being or becoming a Sanctioned Person, any Lender) has notified the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of the same: (i) the Borrower shall repay or prepay that Lender's participation in the Loans in full; and (ii) the Commitments of that Lender will be immediately cancelled. The date for repayment or prepayment referred to in (i) above will be, (x) in the case where it is already unlawful for such Lender to perform such obligations or to fund or maintain its share in the Loans, or an Obligor has become a Sanctioned Person, as soon as practicable and (y) in the case of unlawfulness that will occur in the future, the date specified by that Lender in the relevant notification, which shall not be earlier than ten (10) Business Days preceding the last day of any applicable grace period allowed by law and which shall be a date falling at least thirty (30) days from the date of the notice (but in any event no later than the last day of any applicable grace period allowed by law).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Change of Control</u>. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Borrower shall (i) prepay the Loans in full, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such prepayment, (ii) discharge all of the L/C Obligations, if any, by Cash Collateralizing such L/C Obligations, and (iii) terminate all of the unused Commitments, if any.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)<u>Failure of Security</u>. If any of the Security Documents do not, or shall have ceased to, constitute an enforceable Security Interest over the monies, interests and assets expressed to be assigned, mortgaged, charged, pledged or over which Security Interests are otherwise created or expressed to be created thereby (a "<u>Collateral Defect</u>"), and (if the same is capable of remedy) the same has not been remedied to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent within 15 Business Days (provided that during such period the Borrower is diligently taking action to remedy such Collateral Defect), the Administrative Agent may by written notice to the Borrower declare that the Loans shall become immediately due and payable in whole or in part by the Borrower, provided that if the Collateral Defect relates to some but not all of the Collateral Vessels, the Borrower may prepay a portion of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(a) in such amount as is required such that, following such payment, no BB Event and no DSCR Cash Sweep Event would be continuing (for these purposes, not taking into account the Collateral Vessel(s) the subject of the Collateral Defect).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;43

#4866-5228-1161

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)<u>Unlawfulness</u>. If it is or becomes unlawful for an Obligor to perform any of its material obligations under the Loan Documents or any Related Contract other than as a result of any action or inaction of an Obligor (an "<u>Unlawfulness Event</u>"), and (if the same is capable of remedy) the same has not been remedied to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent within 15 Business Days (provided that during such period the Borrower is diligently taking action to remedy such Unlawfulness Event), the Administrative Agent may by written notice to the Borrower declare that the Loans shall become immediately due and payable in whole or in part by the Borrower, provided that if the Unlawfulness Event relates to some but not all of the Collateral Vessels, the Borrower may prepay a portion of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(a) in such amount as is required such that, following such payment, no BB Event and no DSCR Cash Sweep Event would be continuing (for these purposes, not taking into account the Collateral Vessel(s) the subject of the Unlawfulness Event).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)<u>Application of Mandatory Prepayments</u>. Any repayment or prepayment under Section 2.06(c) to (e) (inclusive) shall be applied, pro rata and pari passu, to repay all outstanding principal hereunder and the outstanding principal under any other Program Debt Documents; provided that for the purposes of this Agreement, such amounts shall be applied first to repay any outstanding principal of the Revolving Facility under this Agreement, and second, to repay any outstanding principal of the Term Loan; provided further that if any relevant Secured Party thereunder elects not to receive any such amounts, those amounts shall be applied to repay the outstanding principal of the Term Loan under this Agreement pro rata to the remaining installments.

SECTION 2.07 <u>Letters of Credit.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>General</u>. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in addition to the Loans provided for in Sections 2.01 and 2.02, the Borrower may request any Issuing Bank, in reliance on the agreements of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section, to issue, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Loan Availability Period, Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for its own account or the account of any of its Subsidiaries in such form as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank in its reasonable determination. Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the Revolving Loan Commitments. The Borrower shall not request any issuance of a Letter of Credit unless one or more Lenders have agreed to act as an Issuing Bank hereunder (on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Borrower and the applicable Lender(s) may agree). As at the Restatement Date, Citibank, N.A., Bank of Montreal and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. have agreed (and each, by its execution of this Agreement, confirms its agreement) to be Issuing Banks in respect of Single Lender Letters of Credit only.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)<u>Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Extension, Reinstatement or Renewal</u>. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment of the terms and conditions, extension of the terms and conditions, extension of the expiration date, or reinstatement of amounts paid, or renewal of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall deliver (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the respective Issuing Bank) to an Issuing Bank selected by it and to the Administrative Agent (at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, extended, reinstated or renewed, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, extension, reinstatement or renewal (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (d) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit is a Single Lender Letter of Credit, and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, extend, reinstate or renew such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall provide a copy of such notice to each Lender. If requested by the respective Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application and reimbursement agreement on such Issuing Bank's standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application and reimbursement agreement or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Limitations on Amounts, Issuance and Amendment</u>. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, extended, reinstated or renewed only if (and upon issuance, amendment, extension, reinstatement or renewal of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, extension, reinstatement or renewal (i) the aggregate amount of the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed its L/C Issuing Bank Sublimit, (ii) the aggregate L/C Obligations shall not exceed the L/C Sublimit, (iii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving Lender shall not exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment and (iv) the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment.

An Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Restatement Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Restatement Date and that such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, such Letter of Credit is in an initial amount less than $500,000; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)any Revolving Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless (A) such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law), satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Revolving Lender to eliminate such Issuing Bank's actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either such Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or such Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such Issuing Bank has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion or (B) such Issuing Bank is satisfied that the related exposure and Defaulting Lender's participation in L/C Obligations will be fully allocated to Revolving Lenders which are Non-Defaulting Lenders, and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(a)(iv) below (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein) or (C) such Letter of Credit is a Single Lender Letter of Credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;45

#4866-5228-1161

------

An Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)<u>Expiration Date</u>. Each Letter of Credit shall have a stated expiration date no later than the earlier of (i) the date twelve months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any extension of the expiration date thereof, twelve months after the then-current expiration date of such Letter of Credit) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)<u>Participations</u>. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount or extending the expiration date thereof), and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, extension, reinstatement or renewal of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments.

In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the respective Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by an Issuing Bank promptly upon the request of such Issuing Bank at any time from the time of such L/C Disbursement until such L/C Disbursement is reimbursed by the Borrower or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason, including after the Maturity Date. Such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each such payment shall be made in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, <u>mutatis</u> <u>mutandis</u>, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the respective Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.07(f), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the respective Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any L/C Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement.

Each Revolving Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its participation in each Letter of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect such Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit at each time such Lender's Commitment is amended pursuant to the operation of Sections 2.20 or 2.21, as a result of an assignment in accordance with Section 9.04 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement.

The provisions of this clause 2.07(e) shall not apply in relation to any Single Lender Letter of Credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)<u>Reimbursement</u>. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank in respect of such L/C Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such L/C Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time. Other than where the Letter of Credit is a Single Lender Letter of Credit, if the Borrower

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;46

#4866-5228-1161

------

fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii)<u>Obligations Absolute</u>. The Borrower's obligation to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any Letter of Credit, or any term or provision herein or therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement in such draft or other document being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the respective Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower's obligations hereunder.

None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, any Issuing Bank, or any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by the respective Issuing Bank or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms, any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the respective Issuing Bank; <u>provided</u> that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), an Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination, and that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)an Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit and without regard to any non-documentary condition in such Letter of Credit;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)an Issuing Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)this sentence shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by an Issuing Bank when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof (and the parties hereto hereby waive, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing).

Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, any Issuing Bank, or any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of (i) any presentation that includes forged or fraudulent documents or that is otherwise affected by the fraudulent, bad faith, or illegal conduct of the beneficiary or other Person, (ii) an Issuing Bank declining to take-up documents and make payment (A) against documents that are fraudulent, forged, or for other reasons by which that it is entitled not to honor or (B) following the Borrower's waiver of discrepancies with respect to such documents or request for honor of such documents or (iii) an Issuing Bank retaining proceeds of a Letter of Credit based on an apparently applicable attachment order, blocking regulation, or third-party claim notified to such Issuing Bank.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued by it, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuing Bank shall be responsible to the Borrower for, and such Issuing Bank's rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuing Bank required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Laws or any order of a jurisdiction where such Issuing Bank or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the International Chamber of Commerce Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade (BAFT), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such laws or practice rules.

An Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and such Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article VIII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and L/C Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term "Administrative Agent" as used in Article VIII included such Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the such Issuing Bank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii)<u>Disbursement Procedures</u>. The Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall, within the time allowed by applicable Laws or the specific terms of the Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing of such demand for payment if such Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; <u>provided</u> that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;48

of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix)<u>Interim Interest</u>. If the Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall make any L/C Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such L/C Disbursement, at the Default Rate applicable to the Revolving Loans. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x)<u>Replacement of an Issuing Bank</u>. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to include such successor or any previous Issuing Bank, or such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

Any Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving 30 days' prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders and the Borrower. After the resignation of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend, reinstate, renew or increase any existing Letter of Credit.

Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing or paragraph (d) of this Section, if any L/C Obligations remain outstanding after the expiration date specified in said paragraph (d), the Borrower shall immediately deposit into the L/C Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 102% of such L/C Obligations as of such date <u>plus</u> any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;49

#4866-5228-1161

------

The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the L/C Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower's risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the L/C Collateral Account. Moneys in the L/C Collateral Account shall be applied by Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, together with related fees, costs, and customary processing charges, and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the L/C Obligations at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with L/C Obligations representing 66-2/3% of the total L/C Obligations), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within five Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xii)<u>Letters of Credit Issued for account of Subsidiaries</u>. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower's business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

SECTION 2.08 <u>Interest</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Interest Rates</u>. Subject to paragraphs (b) and (e) of this Section, each Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Term SOFR for the Interest Period therefor <u>plus</u> the Margin <u>plus</u> an additional credit adjustment spread of 0.1% percent per annum; <u>provided that</u> as of the Restatement Date interest on each Loan shall continue to accrue in accordance with the First Restated Credit Agreement until the end of the then current relevant Interest Period; and <u>provided further that</u> if a SOFR Loan is converted to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.16 hereof, such Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate <u>plus</u> the Margin.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)<u>Default Interest</u>. If any amount payable by any Obligor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including principal of any Loan, interest, fees and other amount) is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Default Rate. Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all Loans outstanding hereunder at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Default Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Payment Dates</u>. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein; <u>provided</u> that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be payable on demand, and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)<u>Interest Computation</u>. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Base Rate or Term SOFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)<u>Market Disruption</u>. If in respect of any Interest Period before close of business in London on the Business Day prior to the commencement of such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in the Loans exceed 35% of the aggregate outstanding amount of all the Loans) that the cost to it or them of obtaining matching deposits in the relevant market would be in excess of Term SOFR (plus the additional credit adjustment spread of 0.1%), then (in each case) the rate of interest on the relevant Lender's share of that Loan for the Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of: (x) the rate notified to the Administrative Agent by the relevant Lender(s) as soon as practicable and in any event by close of business on the first day of such Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to the relevant Lender(s) of funding its or their participation in the Loans; and (y) the Margin plus the additional credit adjustment spread of 0.1%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)<u>Term SOFR Conforming Changes</u>. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee on the daily average unused and uncancelled amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Revolving Lender, for each day during the period from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date, at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum (or, during any period where less than 50% of the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments have been utilized, 0.50% per annum), accrued commitment fees to be payable on each Borrowing Date in respect of the Revolving Loan and upon any termination or expiry of the applicable Revolving Loan Commitments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)<u>L/C Fees</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)<u>L/C Fronting Fees</u>. The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee (the "<u>L/C Fronting Fee</u>") with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the percentage separately agreed upon between the Borrower and such Issuing Bank on the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the Maturity Date and the date on which such Issuing Bank ceases to have any L/C Obligations.

In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect, which fees, costs and charges shall be payable to such Issuing Bank within three Business Days after its demand therefor and are nonrefundable.

Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Credit Extension made by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register in accordance with Section 9.04(c). The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be <u>prima</u> <u>facie</u> evidence absent manifest error of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein. Any failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or make any entry therein or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In the event of any conflict between the records maintained by any Lender and the records maintained by the Administrative Agent in such matters, the records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.11 <u>Payments Generally; Several Obligations of Lenders</u>.

All payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder and the other Loan Documents shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent's Office in immediately available funds not later than 2:00pm (New York City time) on the date specified herein. All amounts received by the Administrative Agent after such time on any date shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fees shall continue to accrue. The Administrative Agent will apply such amounts in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;52

#4866-5228-1161

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)<u>Application of Insufficient Payments</u>. Subject to Section 4.02 of the Intercreditor Agreement, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) <u>first</u>, to pay interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, fees and other amounts then due to such parties, and (ii) <u>second</u>, to pay principal and unreimbursed L/C Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal or unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, as applicable, then due to such parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Presumptions by Administrative Agent</u>. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)<u>Several Obligations of Lenders</u>. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.03(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation or to make any such payment on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participations or to make its payment under Section 9.03(c).

SECTION 2.12 <u>Sharing of Payments</u>. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and other amounts owing them; <u>provided</u> that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.19, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;53

#4866-5228-1161

------

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.13 <u>Compensation for Losses</u>. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Loan into a Base Rate Loan or vice versa other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the conversion of any Revolving Loan into a Term Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (d) the failure for any reason to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any amount of any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (e) the assignment of any Loan or part of a Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(b), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the relevant market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.14 <u>Increased Costs.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Increased Costs Generally</u>. If any Change in Law shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or any Issuing Bank;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the relevant market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes and Excluded Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or Issuing Bank's policies and the policies of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Certificates for Reimbursement</u>.

The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)<u>Delay in Requests</u>.

SECTION 2.16 <u>Inability to Determine Rates.</u> 

(i)Subject to Section 2.17, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that "Term SOFR" cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.

(ii)Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative revokes such notice.

During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

The details of the metrics and trajectory used in the Qualifying Charter Contracts are provided by the Borrower to the Lead Sustainability Coordinator, who will provide its opinion on the appropriateness of the metrics and trajectory used in the Sustainability Linked Charter Mechanism.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)any failure to deliver, or delay in delivering, a Draft DC to and/or any failure to agree, or delay in agreeing an Amended DC with, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 5.34, if such failure and/or delay in delivering any Draft DC and/or agreeing any Amended DC, (i) arises as a result of, or in connection with, the Borrower's (x) failure to deliver and/or delay in delivering, any Compliance Data and/or other information required by the Lead Sustainability Coordinator and/or a Decarbonization Certificate, and/or (y) failure to agree, or delay in agreeing, any Amended DC, or (ii) is not directly caused by any act or omission on the part of the Lead Sustainability Coordinator, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.34,

and the Borrower hereby confirms and acknowledges for the benefit of the Lead Sustainability Coordinator, that notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement, the contents of any Decarbonization Certificate, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and delivered in accordance with this Section 5.34, shall be verified by the Borrower only, and shall be true and accurate in all material respects.

ARTICLE VIII<br><u>AGENCY</u>

SECTION 8.01 <u>Appointment and Authority</u>. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall, unless a contrary indication appears in a Loan Document, exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion vested in it as Administrative Agent in accordance with any instructions given to it by (a) all Lenders or the relevant proportion of the Lenders if the relevant Loan Document stipulates the matter is, as applicable, an all Lender decision or a decision requiring some specified proportion of the Lenders and (b) in all other cases, the Required Lenders. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.06(b), the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term "agent" herein or in any other Loan Document (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;105

SECTION 8.02 <u>Rights as a Lender</u>. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, if applicable, have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity, if applicable. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

SECTION 8.03 <u>Exculpatory Provisions.</u>

(i)The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(ii)The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.01 and 9.02), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;106

#4866-5228-1161

------

(iii)The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

(iv)If a payment is made by the Administrative Agent (or its Affiliates) in error or if a Lender or another recipient of funds is not otherwise entitled to receive such funds, then such Lender or recipient shall promptly following demand, but in any event not later than two Business Days following such demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such payment that was made in error (or otherwise not intended to be received) in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent (or its Affiliate) to such Lender or recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the applicable overnight rate from time to time in effect. Each Lender and other party hereto waives the discharge for value defense in respect of any such payment.

SECTION 8.04 <u>Reliance by Administrative Agent.</u> The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, increase, reinstatement or renewal of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 8.05 <u>Delegation of Duties</u>. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the "<u>Resignation Effective Date</u>"), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation of such retiring Administrative Agent shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(ii)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and Issuing Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.

Each Lender and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 8.08 <u>No Other Duties.</u> Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Structuring Agent, the Global Coordinator, the Mandated Lead Arrangers and the Co-Sustainability Coordinators, each listed on the cover page hereof, shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Finance Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Finance Party (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Finance Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)such Finance Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.11(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.11(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient's obligations pursuant to Section 8.11(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)<u>No Assignment to Certain Persons</u>.

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Register</u>.

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)<u>Participations</u>. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower's Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a "<u>Participant</u>") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); <u>provided</u> that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iv) such Lender retains the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, *<u>provided</u>* that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 9.02(b) which requires the consent of all Lenders.

The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; <u>provided</u> that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.18 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.15, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.18(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "<u>Participant Register</u>"); <u>provided</u> that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)<u>Certain Pledges</u>.

SECTION 9.05 <u>Survival</u>. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in any Loan Document or other documents delivered in connection herewith or therewith or pursuant hereto or thereto shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof and the making of the Credit Extensions hereunder, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 9.03, 9.15 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the payment in full of the Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06 <u>Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.</u>

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

The words "execution," "signed," "signature," and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

SECTION 9.07 <u>Severability</u>. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, as applicable, then such provision shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

SECTION 9.08 <u>Right of Setoff.</u> If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch office or Affiliate of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such set-off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Accordingly, each party agrees to provide to the Administrative Agent and each such Lender upon their request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available in order to enable the Administrative Agent and each such Lender to comply with the requirements of the PATRIOT Act.

SECTION 9.14 <u>Interest Rate Limitation</u>. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under Applicable Law (collectively, "<u>charges</u>"), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the "<u>Maximum Rate</u>") that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. To the extent lawful, the interest and charges that would have been paid in respect of such Loan but were not paid as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. Any amount collected by such Lender that exceeds the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of such Loan or refunded to the Borrower so that at no time shall the interest and charges paid or payable in respect of such Loan exceed the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate.

SECTION 9.15 <u>Payments Set Aside</u>. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each Issuing Bank severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.

SECTION 9.16 <u>No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility</u>. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates' understanding, that: (a) (i) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the Structuring Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, or any Lender is intended to be or has been created in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether the Structuring Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender has advised or is advising the Borrower or any Subsidiary on other matters, (ii) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Structuring Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders are arm's-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Structuring Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, on the other hand, (iii) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent that it has deemed appropriate and (iv) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; and (b) (i) the Structuring Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and

will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person; (ii) none of the Structuring Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Structuring Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Structuring Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against any of the Structuring Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

SECTION 9.17 <u>Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;126

#4866-5228-1161

------

(i)The parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "<u>U.S. Special Resolution Regimes</u>") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC or to any QFC Credit Support (each, a "<u>Covered Party</u>") becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support

(ii)In addition, the parties agree that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents or any other agreement, but without prejudice to the requirements of Section 9.18(a), (1) Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support may not be exercised against a Covered Party if such Default Rights are related, directly or indirectly, to a BHC Act Affiliate of such Covered Party becoming subject to Insolvency Proceedings, except to the extent such exercise would be permitted under 12 C.F.R. § 252.84, 12 C.F.R. § 47.5, or 12 C.F.R. § 382.4, as applicable; and (2) nothing in the Loan Documents or any other agreement shall prohibit the transfer of any Covered Affiliate QFC Credit Support, any interest or obligation in or under, or any property securing, such Covered Affiliate QFC Credit Support to a Transferee upon or following a BHC Act Affiliate of the Covered Party becoming subject to Insolvency Proceedings, unless the transfer would result in the party supported thereby being the beneficiary of such Covered Affiliate QFC Credit Support in violation of any law applicable to such party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)After a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party has become subject to Insolvency Proceedings, if any party to the Loan Documents, any Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support seeks to exercise any Default Right against such Covered Party with respect to such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support, the party seeking to exercise such Default Right shall have the burden of proof, by clear and convincing evidence, that the exercise of such Default Right is permitted hereunder.

.

(i)This Agreement shall be deemed to be an amendment to and restatement of the First Restated Credit Agreement, and the First Restated Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. This Agreement is not intended to constitute, nor does it constitute, an interruption, suspension of continuity, satisfaction, discharge of prior duties, novation, or termination of the First Restated Credit Agreement or the liens, security interests, loans, guarantees, liabilities, expenses, or obligations under the First Restated Credit Agreement, or the collateral thereunder. Each of the Obligors affirms its duties and obligations under the terms of the First Restated Credit Agreement (as amended and restated by this Agreement). This Agreement amends and restates the First Restated Credit Agreement in its entirety and any obligation thereunder shall be deemed to be outstanding under this Agreement. If there is a conflict between the First Restated Credit Agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern from and after the Restatement Date. Upon the Restatement Date, each reference to the First Restated Credit Agreement in any other Secured Debt Document or in any other document, instrument or agreement shall mean and be a reference to the First Restated Credit Agreement as amended and restated by this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the sum of: (i) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities and (ii) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above would be less than zero percent (0%), the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be zero percent (0%) for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

"<u>Benchmark Replacement Adjustment</u>" means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (a) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the relevant Governmental Authority or (b) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7

#4858-9314-8498

For the avoidance of doubt, the "Benchmark Replacement Date" will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (a) or (b) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

"<u>Benchmark Transition Event</u>" means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)With respect to any proposal to enforce, or to instruct the Administrative Agent to enforce, a Sanctions Breach, a Restricted Lender may abstain or vote against any proposal to take action in relation to a Sanctions Breach, but will not vote in favour of any such proposal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Nothing in this Section 1.05 will affect the rights of a Restricted Lender under any other provision of the Loan Documents or its right to benefit as a Lender from any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders in relation to the Loan Documents (whether in relation to any of the Sanctions Provisions or otherwise).

under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In the event of any conflict between the records maintained by any Lender and the records maintained by the Administrative Agent in such matters, the records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.11 <u>Payments Generally; Several Obligations of Lenders</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Payments by Borrower</u>. All payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder and the other Loan Documents shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent's Office in immediately available funds not later than 2:00pm (New York City time) on the date specified herein. All amounts received by the Administrative Agent after such time on any date shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fees shall continue to accrue. The Administrative Agent will apply such amounts in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Application of Insufficient Payments</u>. Subject to Section 4.02 of the Intercreditor Agreement, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) <u>first</u>, to pay interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, fees and other amounts then due to such parties, and (ii) <u>second</u>, to pay principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Presumptions by Administrative Agent</u>. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Several Obligations of Lenders</u>. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.03(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation or to make any such payment on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participations or to make its payment under Section 9.03(c).

SECTION 2.12 <u>Sharing of Payments</u>. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans or and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; <u>provided</u> that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.13 <u>Compensation for Losses</u>. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Loan into a Base Rate Loan or vice versa other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) [Reserved], (d) the failure for any reason to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any amount of any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (e) the assignment of any Loan or part of a Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(b), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the relevant market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.14 <u>Increased Costs</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Increased Costs Generally</u>. If any Change in Law shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)impose on any Lender or the relevant market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes and Excluded Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Capital Requirements</u>. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender's holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;39

------

which such Lender or such Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Certificates for Reimbursement</u>. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Delay in Requests</u>. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation; <u>provided</u> that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 2.15 <u>Taxes</u>.

Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower</u>. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Indemnification by Borrower</u>. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Evidence of Payments</u>. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Status of Lenders</u>. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall to the extent legally able to do so, use reasonable efforts to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, (i) nothing herein shall obligate any Lender to disclose any confidential information in connection therewith and (ii) the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)<u>Survival</u>. Each party's obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

SECTION 2.16 <u>Inability to Determine Rates</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Subject to Section 2.17, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that "Term SOFR" cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.13. Subject to Section 2.17, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that "Term SOFR" cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (iii) of the definition of "Base Rate" until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

SECTION 2.17 <u>Benchmark Replacement Setting</u>.

received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right in consultation with the Borrower to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations</u>.

Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.17, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.17.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Benchmark Unavailability Period</u>. Upon the Borrower's receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

#4858-9314-8498

------

(at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate the illegality contemplated by Section 2.06(b) or eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Replacement and Termination of Lenders</u>. If (x) any Lender requests (A) Borrower to repay its Loans in full pursuant to Section 2.06(b) or (B) compensation under Section 2.14, or (y) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (I) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.15) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) or (II) prepay such Lender's Loans in full and permanently reduce the Commitments by the amount of such payment; <u>provided</u> that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law and such Lender shall have satisfied any know your customer requirements of such Lender in connection with such assignment as required by Applicable Law; and

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, in the event that a Lender acts as the Administrative Agent, such Lender may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 8.06.

For the avoidance of doubt, such information shall be "Confidential Information" for the purposes of Section 9.12 (*Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality*) but the Borrower acknowledges that, in accordance with the Poseidon Principles, such information will form part of the information published regarding each relevant Lender's portfolio climate alignment,

**and provided further that** if the Borrower fails to comply with the conditions set out in, or deliver when due any of the documents and/or items contemplated by, this Section 5.34, then no Default or Event of Default will result therefrom, and the only consequence shall be a pricing adjustment (if applicable) to the Margin as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement.

The details of the metrics and trajectory used in the Qualifying Charter Contracts are provided by the Borrower to the Lead Sustainability Coordinator, who will provide its opinion on the appropriateness of the metrics and trajectory used in the Sustainability Linked Charter Mechanism. The Borrower shall then calculate the number of Qualifying Charter Contracts and the QCC Ratio. An appropriate external reviewer will then verify the Borrower's calculation and whether the Sustainability Linked Charter Mechanism is satisfied. The Borrower will provide the details necessary to assess the relevance of the trajectory and indicator to the Lead Sustainability Coordinator and provide any additional information regarding baseline and comparison for such assessment.

ARTICLE VIII<u><br>AGENCY</u>

SECTION 8.01 <u>Appointment and Authority</u>. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall, unless a contrary indication appears in a Loan Document, exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion vested in it as Administrative Agent in accordance with any instructions given to it by (a) all Lenders or the relevant proportion of the Lenders if the relevant Loan Document stipulates the matter is, as applicable, an all Lender decision or a decision requiring some specified proportion of the Lenders and (b) in all other cases, the Required Lenders. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.06(b), the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term "agent" herein or in any other Loan Document (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

SECTION 8.02 <u>Rights as a Lender</u>. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, if applicable, have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity, if applicable. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

SECTION 8.03 <u>Exculpatory Provisions</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;83

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.01 and 9.02), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower or a Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)If a payment is made by the Administrative Agent (or its Affiliates) in error or if a Lender or another recipient of funds is not otherwise entitled to receive such funds, then such Lender or recipient shall promptly following demand, but in any event not later than two Business Days following such demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such payment that was made in error (or otherwise not intended to be received) in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent (or its Affiliate) to such Lender or recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the applicable overnight rate from time to time in effect. Each Lender and other party hereto waives the discharge for value defense in respect of any such payment.

SECTION 8.04 <u>Reliance by Administrative Agent</u>. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 8.05 <u>Delegation of Duties</u>. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;84

#4858-9314-8498

------

the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

SECTION 8.06 <u>Resignation of Administrative Agent</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the "<u>Resignation Effective Date</u>"), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation of such retiring Administrative Agent shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.07 <u>Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders</u>. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Agent or Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 8.08 <u>No Other Duties</u>. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Structuring Agent, the Global Coordinator, the Mandated Lead Arrangers and the Co-Sustainability Coordinators, each listed on the cover page hereof, shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

SECTION 8.09 <u>Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim</u>. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;85

Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 9.03.

SECTION 8.10 <u>Intercreditor Agreement</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Finance Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Finance Party (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Finance Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.11(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient's obligations pursuant to Section 8.11(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.</u> To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Proportionate Amounts</u>. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)<u>Required Consents</u>. The consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and shall be deemed given if the Borrower has not rejected the proposed assignment within 10 Business Days of the Borrower's receipt of written request for consent) shall be required unless the assignee is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (so long as such Affiliate is engaged in making commercial loans or similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business), or any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of assignment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Assignment and Assumption</u>. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $5,000; <u>provided</u> that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion or upon instruction by the Structuring Agent, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment**.** The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)<u>No Assignment to Certain Persons</u>. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower's Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a Subsidiary thereof or (C) (without the consent of the Borrower) to any Person who is, at the time of such assignment, a Borrower Competitor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)<u>Certain Additional Payments</u>. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; <u>provided</u>, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Register</u>. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "<u>Register</u>"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Participations</u>. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower's Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a "<u>Participant</u>") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); <u>provided</u> that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iv) such Lender retains the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, *<u>provided</u>* that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 9.02(b) which requires the consent of all Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.03(b) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; <u>provided</u> that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.18 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.15, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.18(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "<u>Participant Register</u>"); <u>provided</u> that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Certain Pledges</u>. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; <u>provided</u> that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

The provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 9.03, 9.15 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the payment in full of the Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06 <u>Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness</u>. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (e.g., "pdf" or "tif") format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Electronic Execution of Assignments</u>. The words "execution," "signed," "signature," and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

SECTION 9.07 <u>Severability</u>. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent then such provision shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

SECTION 9.08 <u>Right of Setoff</u>. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement

Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such set-off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

SECTION 9.09 <u>Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Waiver of Venue</u>. The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

SECTION 9.18 <u>QFC Provisions</u>. The following provisions apply to the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "<u>QFC Credit Support</u>" and each such QFC, a "<u>Supported QFC</u>"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "<u>U.S. Special Resolution Regimes</u>") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC or to any QFC Credit Support (each, a "<u>Covered Party</u>") becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;101

#4858-9314-8498

------

the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)In addition, the parties agree that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents or any other agreement, but without prejudice to the requirements of Section 9.18(a), (1) Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support may not be exercised against a Covered Party if such Default Rights are related, directly or indirectly, to a BHC Act Affiliate of such Covered Party becoming subject to Insolvency Proceedings, except to the extent such exercise would be permitted under 12 C.F.R. § 252.84, 12 C.F.R. § 47.5, or 12 C.F.R. § 382.4, as applicable; and (2) nothing in the Loan Documents or any other agreement shall prohibit the transfer of any Covered Affiliate QFC Credit Support, any interest or obligation in or under, or any property securing, such Covered Affiliate QFC Credit Support to a Transferee upon or following a BHC Act Affiliate of the Covered Party becoming subject to Insolvency Proceedings, unless the transfer would result in the party supported thereby being the beneficiary of such Covered Affiliate QFC Credit Support in violation of any law applicable to such party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)After a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party has become subject to Insolvency Proceedings, if any party to the Loan Documents, any Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support seeks to exercise any Default Right against such Covered Party with respect to such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support, the party seeking to exercise such Default Right shall have the burden of proof, by clear and convincing evidence, that the exercise of such Default Right is permitted hereunder.

SECTION 9.19 <u>Amendment and Restatement</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)This Agreement shall be deemed to be an amendment to and restatement of the First Restated Credit Agreement, and the First Restated Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. This Agreement is not intended to constitute, nor does it constitute, an interruption, suspension of continuity, satisfaction, discharge of prior duties, novation, or termination of the First Restated Credit Agreement or the liens, security interests, loans, guarantees, liabilities, expenses, or obligations under the First Restated Credit Agreement, or the collateral thereunder. Each of the Obligors affirms its duties and obligations under the terms of the First Restated Credit Agreement (as amended and restated by this Agreement). This Agreement amends and restates the First Restated Credit Agreement in its entirety and any obligation thereunder shall be deemed to be outstanding under this Agreement. If there is a conflict between the First Restated Credit Agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern from and after the Restatement Date. Upon the Restatement Date, each reference to the First Restated Credit Agreement in any other Secured Debt Document or in any other document, instrument or agreement shall mean and be a reference to the First Restated Credit Agreement as amended and restated by this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Each Obligor hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that as at the Restatement Date the Term Loan Required Payments (reflecting drawn Term Loan Commitments) which are outstanding are set out in the Repayment Schedule prepared as of the Restatement Date set forth in Schedule 2.03.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Each Obligor hereby (i) expressly acknowledges the terms of this Agreement, (ii) ratifies and affirms its obligations under the Loan Documents (including guarantees and security agreements) executed by such Obligor and (iii) acknowledges, renews and extends its continued liability under all such Loan Documents and agrees such Loan Documents remain in full force and effect, including with respect to the obligations of the Borrower as modified by this Agreement. Each Obligor further represents and warrants to each Secured Party that after giving effect to this Agreement, neither the modification of the First Restated Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this Agreement, nor the execution, delivery, performance or effectiveness of this Agreement (A) impairs the validity, effectiveness or priority of the Liens granted pursuant to any Secured Debt Document (as such term is defined in the First Restated Credit Agreement), and such Liens continue unimpaired with the same priority to secure repayment of all Obligations, whether heretofore or hereafter incurred; or (B) requires that any new filings be made or other action taken to perfect or to maintain the perfection of such Liens.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Each Obligor hereby agrees, acknowledges and affirms that (i) each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party shall remain in full force and effect and shall constitute security for all Obligations pursuant to the First Restated Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby, and (ii) any reference to the First Restated Credit Agreement appearing in any other Secured Debt Document shall on and after the Restatement Date be deemed to refer to the First Restated Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Obligor hereby confirms the security interest in the Collateral granted by it in favor of the Security Trustee pursuant to each Collateral Document to which it is a party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)On and following the Restatement Date, the Borrower shall enter into or maintain in effect one or more interest rate hedge transactions under Hedging Agreements to ensure that, at all times, the notional principal amount hedged by the Hedging Agreements is, in aggregate:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)not less than twenty percent (20%); and

of the Hedgeable Loan Amount (taking into account the amortization of the Loans) (such

requirement, the "<u>Hedging Requirement</u>"); provided that if any principal amount remains outstanding under any fixed rate private placement notes issued by the Borrower and which constitute Additional Secured Debt ("**PPN Principal**"), an amount equivalent to such PPN Principal shall be credited towards the Hedging Requirement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Each Hedging Agreement shall provide that no transferee of a Hedge Counterparty under such Hedging Agreement shall be any Person other than a Person meeting the requirements for being a "Hedge Counterparty" hereunder.

ARTICLE V<u><br>Guarantee and Subordination</u>

Section 5.01. <u>Guarantee and Indemnity</u> (a) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally, jointly and severally, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)guarantees to each Secured Party punctual performance by each other Grantor of all that Grantor's obligations under the Secured Debt Documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)undertakes with each Secured Party that whenever any Grantor does not pay any amount when due to a Secured Party under or in connection with any Secured Debt Document, that Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor and not merely as surety; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)agrees with each Secured Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Secured Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of a Grantor not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Secured Debt Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by a Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Section 5.01 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by each Grantor to the Secured Parties under the Secured Debt Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Grantor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Secured Party in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of the Guarantors under this Section 5.01 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section 5.01 will not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Section 5.01(d), would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Section 5.01 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Secured Party) including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the release of any Grantor or any other Person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any other Person;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Grantor or any other Person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of any Grantor or any other Person;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)any amendment, novation, supplement, extension (whether of maturity or otherwise) or restatement (in each case however fundamental and of whatsoever nature, and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of any Secured Debt Document or any other document or security;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any Person under any Secured Debt Document or any other document or security; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii)any insolvency or similar proceedings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Without prejudice to the generality of Section 5.01(d), each Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that this guarantee shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental and of whatsoever nature and whether or not more onerous) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the obligations guaranteed hereby (whether due to any (however fundamental and of whatsoever nature and whether or not more onerous) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to the Secured Debt Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Secured Debt Documents for any reasons, including any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any Person before claiming from that Guarantor under this

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor's liability under this Section 5.01.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)Until the Discharge of Secured Obligations and unless the Security Trustee otherwise directs, no Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Secured Debt Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this 5.01:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)to be indemnified by any Grantor;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Grantor's obligations under the Secured Debt Documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Secured Parties under the Secured Debt Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Secured Debt Documents by any Secured Party;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring the Borrower to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which any Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Section 5.01;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)to exercise any right of set-off against any Grantor; and/or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)to claim or prove as a creditor of any Grantor in competition with any Secured Party.

If a Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Secured Parties by the Borrower under or in connection with the Secured Debt Documents to be repaid in full in trust for the Secured Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Security Trustee or as the Security Trustee may direct for application in accordance with Section 4.02.

Section 5.02. <u>Subordination</u>. Each of the Subordinated Parties hereby undertakes in favor of the Secured Parties that its rights and claims under, in and to the Subordinated Agreements and the other Secured Debt Documents are, and shall at all times until the Discharge of Secured Obligations has occurred, be fully subject and subordinated to the rights and claims of the Secured Parties in, to and under this Agreement, the Secured Debt Documents and any loans or other amounts advanced thereunder, and that no amounts shall be payable to it under the Subordinated Agreements, this Agreement or the Secured Debt Documents otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement until the Discharge of Secured Obligations has occurred.

Security Trustee be liable under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits, whether or not foreseeable, even if the Security Trustee has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought.

Section 6.06. <u>Documents in Satisfactory Form</u>. The Security Trustee will be entitled to require that all agreements, certificates, opinions, instruments and other documents at any time submitted to it, including those expressly provided for in this Agreement, be delivered to it in a form and with substantive provisions reasonably satisfactory to it.

Section 6.07. <u>Entitled to Rely</u>. The Security Trustee may seek and rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Act of Required Debtholders, any judicial order or judgment, upon any advice, opinion, certificate or statement of legal counsel, independent consultants and other experts selected by it in good faith and upon any certification, instruction, notice or other writing delivered to it by the Borrower in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement or delivered to it by any Secured Lien Representative as to the holders of Secured Obligations for whom it acts, without being required to determine the authenticity thereof or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of service thereof. The Security Trustee may act in reliance upon any instrument, including on any Act of Required Debtholders, purporting to comply with the provisions of this Agreement or any signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any Person purporting to give notice or receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof or the other Collateral Documents has been duly authorized to do so. The Security Trustee shall not have any responsibility to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any certification, instruction, notice or other writing furnished to it. To the extent an opinion of counsel is required or permitted under this Agreement to be delivered to the Security Trustee in respect of any matter, it may rely conclusively on the opinion of counsel as to such matter and such opinion of counsel shall be full warranty and protection to it for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents.

In the event of any conflict between any terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and those set forth in any other Collateral Document, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall supersede and control the terms and provisions of such other Collateral Document, except as expressly provided that a term or provision of a Collateral Document shall govern. In the event there is any bona fide, good faith disagreement between the other parties to this Agreement or any of the other Collateral Documents resulting in adverse claims being made in connection with Collateral held by the Security Trustee and the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Collateral Documents do not unambiguously mandate the action the Security Trustee is to take or not to take in connection therewith under the circumstances then existing, or the Security Trustee is in doubt as to what action it is required to take or not to take hereunder or under the other Collateral Documents, it will be entitled to refrain from taking any action (and will incur no liability for doing so) until directed otherwise in writing by a request signed jointly by the parties hereto entitled to give such direction or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Furthermore, and notwithstanding anything herein or the other Collateral Documents to the contrary:

The Security Trustee will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Security Trustee will not be responsible (i) for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of it, (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral, this Agreement or any agreement or assignment contained herein or therein, (iii) for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties by the Grantors contained in this Agreement, the Secured Debt Documents, or any certificate or other document delivered by the Grantors or any Holders thereunder, (iv) for the performance or observance by the Grantors of any of their respective agreements contained herein or in any of the Secured Debt Documents, or (v) for the validity of the title of the Borrower or any other Grantor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Security Trustee hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the present and future holders of the Secured Obligations concerning the perfection of the Liens granted hereunder or in the value of any of the Collateral.

Section 6.13. <u>Assumption of Rights, Not Assumption of Duties</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the exercise by the Security Trustee of any of its rights, remedies or powers hereunder will not release such parties from any of their respective duties or obligations under the other Collateral Documents;

In the event that the Security Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any obligation for the benefit of another, which in its sole and reasonable discretion may cause it to be considered an "owner or operator" under any Environmental Laws or otherwise cause it to incur, or be exposed to, any Environmental Liability or any liability under any other federal, state or local law, it reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign as Security Trustee, or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. The Security Trustee will not be liable to any Person for any Environmental Liability or any Environmental Claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of its actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or release or threatened discharge or release of any Hazardous Materials into the environment.

Each other party agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of electronic methods to submit instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information to the Security Trustee or a Secured Lien Representative, as the case may be, including the risk of the Security Trustee or a Secured Lien Representative acting on unauthorized instructions, notices, reports or other communications or information, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

If no successor Security Trustee has been so appointed and accepted such appointment within 30 days after the predecessor Security Trustee gave notice of resignation or was removed, the Borrower, at its option, may appoint a successor Security Trustee, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor Security Trustee, which must be a bank or trust company:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)authorized to exercise corporate trust powers;

The retiring Security Trustee will fulfill its obligations hereunder until a successor Security Trustee meeting the requirements of this Section 7.02 has accepted its appointment as Security Trustee or Co-Security Trustee, as the case may be, and the provisions of Section 7.03 have been satisfied. Unless a successor Security Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Security Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction (at the Borrower's expense) for the appointment of a successor Security Trustee.

Section 7.03. <u>Succession</u>. When the Person so appointed as successor Security Trustee accepts such appointment:

Section 8.23. <u>Amendment and Restatement</u>.

This Agreement is not intended to constitute, nor does it constitute, an interruption, suspension of continuity, satisfaction, discharge of prior duties, novation, or termination of the First Restated Intercreditor Agreement or the liens, security interests, loans, guarantees, indemnities, liabilities, expenses, or obligations under the First Restated Intercreditor Agreement, or the collateral thereunder. Each of the Obligors affirms its duties and obligations under the terms of the First Restated Intercreditor Agreement (as amended and restated by this Agreement). This Agreement amends and restates the First Restated Intercreditor Agreement in its entirety and any obligation thereunder shall be deemed to be outstanding under this Agreement. If there is a conflict between the First Restated Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern from and after the Restatement Date. Upon the Restatement Date, each reference to the First Restated Intercreditor Agreement in any other Secured Debt Document or in any other document, instrument or agreement shall mean and be a reference to the First Restated Intercreditor Agreement as amended and restated by this Agreement.

Each Obligor further represents and warrants to each Secured Party that after giving effect to this Agreement, neither the modification of the First Restated Intercreditor Agreement effected pursuant to this Agreement, nor the execution, delivery, performance or effectiveness of this Agreement (A) impairs the validity, effectiveness or priority of the Liens granted pursuant to any Secured Debt Document (as such term is defined in the First Restated Intercreditor Agreement), and such Liens continue unimpaired with the same priority to secure repayment of all Obligations, whether heretofore or hereafter incurred; or (B) requires that any new filings be made or other action taken to perfect or to maintain the perfection of such Liens.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Each Obligor hereby agrees, acknowledges and affirms that (i) each of the Secured Debt Documents to which it is a party shall remain in full force and effect and shall constitute security for all Obligations pursuant to the First Restated Intercreditor Agreement as amended and restated hereby and the other Secured Debt Documents, and (ii) any reference to the First Restated Intercreditor Agreement appearing in any such Secured Debt Document shall

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;42

#4887-0762-5804

------

on and after the Restatement Date be deemed to refer to the First Restated Intercreditor Agreement as amended and restated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;43
