 AMENDED AND RESTATED 

SHAREHOLDERS RIGHTS AGREEMENT 
 This Amendment No. 2, dated December 27, 2012 (this “Amendment No. 2”), to the Amended and Restated Shareholders Rights Agreement, dated April 19, 2011, as amended by
Amendment No. 1 dated January 27, 2012 (collectively, the “Rights Agreement”), is entered into by and between Seaspan Corporation, a Marshall Islands corporation (the “Corporation”), and American Stock

 RECITALS 
 A. The Corporation and the Washington Family have agreed that the Washington Family will participate in the Corporation’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “DRIP”) with respect to any
cash dividends paid on the Corporation’s Common Shares or Series A through and for the quarter ending March 31, 2015, and the Corporation and the Washington Family desire to exclude Common Shares acquired by Excluded Persons pursuant to
such DRIP participation from the trigger under the Rights Agreement applicable to the Excluded Persons and to simplify such trigger by otherwise eliminating exceptions to the currently applicable 30% trigger and increasing such amount to 70%.

 B. Pursuant to Section 27 of the Rights Agreement, prior to a Distribution Date, the Corporation may supplement or amend
the Rights Agreement in any respect without the approval of any holders of Rights and the Rights Agent shall, if the Corporation so directs, execute such supplement or amendment. 

C. The Corporation now desires to amend the Rights Agreement as set forth herein. 

AGREEMENT 

In consideration of the foregoing and acting pursuant to the power and authority granted to the Corporation under Section 27 of
Rights Agreement, the Corporation hereby amends the Rights Agreement as follows: 
 1. Certain Definitions. 

(a) The definitions of “Acquiring Person,” “Distribution Date” and “Shares Acquisition
Date,” as set forth in Section 1 of the Rights Agreement are hereby deleted and replaced with the following: 
 “Acquiring Person” shall mean any Person (other than an Excluded Person, but only to the extent set forth below in this definition) who or which, together with all Affiliates and
Associates of such Person, shall be the Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the shares of Common Shares then outstanding, but shall not include the Corporation, any Subsidiary of the Corporation or any employee benefit plan of the Corporation or of
any Subsidiary of the Corporation, or any entity holding shares of Common Shares for or 

  
 Page 1

 
pursuant to the terms of any such plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person shall be deemed to be an Acquiring Person as the result of an acquisition of shares of Common Shares by the
Corporation which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares Beneficially Owned by such Person to 20% or more of the shares of Common Shares of the Corporation then outstanding; provided,
however, that a Person who (i) becomes the Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the shares of Common Shares of the Corporation then outstanding by reason of share purchases by the Corporation and (ii) then after such share purchases by
the Corporation, becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional shares of Common Shares of the Corporation (other than pursuant to (A) a dividend or distribution paid or made by the Corporation on the outstanding shares of Common Shares in
shares of Common Shares, (B) a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Shares or (C) with respect to Excluded Persons only, any present or future benefit plan or other compensatory plan, agreement or arrangement), such
Person shall be deemed to be an Acquiring Person unless upon becoming the Beneficial Owner of such additional shares of Common Shares of the Corporation such Person does not Beneficially Own 20% or more of the shares of Common Shares of the
Corporation then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) if the Corporation’s Board of Directors determines in good faith that a Person who would otherwise be an “Acquiring Person,” as defined herein, has become such
inadvertently (including, without limitation, because (A) such Person was unaware that it Beneficially Owned a percentage of the shares of Common Shares that would otherwise cause such Person to be an “Acquiring Person,” as defined
herein, or (B) such Person was aware of the extent of the shares of Common Shares it Beneficially Owned but had no actual knowledge of the consequences of such Beneficial Ownership under this Agreement) and without any intention of changing or
influencing control of the Corporation, and if such Person divested or divests as promptly as practicable a sufficient number of shares of Common Shares so that such Person would no longer be an “Acquiring Person,” as defined herein, then
such Person shall not be deemed to be or to have become an “Acquiring Person” for any purposes of this Agreement; (ii) if, as of April 19, 2011, any Person was the Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the shares of Common Shares
outstanding, such Person shall not be or become an “Acquiring Person,” as defined herein, unless and until such time following April 19, 2011 as such Person shall become the Beneficial Owner of additional shares of Common Shares
(other than pursuant to (A) a dividend or distribution paid or made by the Corporation on the outstanding shares of Common Shares in shares of Common Shares, (B) a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Shares or
(C) with respect to Excluded Persons only, any present or future benefit plan or other compensatory plan, agreement or arrangement), unless, upon becoming the Beneficial Owner of such additional shares of Common Shares, such Person is not then
the Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the shares of Common Shares then outstanding; and (iii) no Excluded Person shall be deemed to be an “Acquiring Person” so long as all Excluded Persons, together with all Affiliates and Associates
of such Excluded Persons (other than the Corporation and its Subsidiaries), collectively are the Beneficial Owners of not more than 70% of the Common Shares then outstanding, it being understood that (A) all exceptions to becoming an
“Acquiring Person” set forth in this definition shall apply to Excluded Persons (and for purposes of this clause (iii) only, with references in the immediately 

  
 Page 2

 
preceding sentence and in this sentence to 20% being deemed to be 70% with respect to the collective Excluded Persons as applicable), (B) Common Shares acquired by the Excluded Persons
following January 1, 2013 pursuant to their participation in the Corporation’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan with respect to any cash dividends paid on the Corporation’s Common Shares or Series A through and for the quarter ending
March 31, 2015 shall be excluded from shares of Common Shares otherwise deemed Beneficially Owned by the Excluded Persons for purposes of this definition of “Acquiring Person”, (C) no Person shall become an Excluded Person as a
result of acquiring Common Shares from an Excluded Person and (D) subject to subclauses (A) and (B) above, if the Excluded Persons, together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Excluded Persons (other than the Corporation and
its Subsidiaries), collectively become the Beneficial Owners of more than 70% of the Common Shares then outstanding, each Excluded Person shall be deemed to be an “Acquiring Person.” 

“Distribution Date” shall mean the earlier of (i) the Close of Business on the tenth day after the
Shares Acquisition Date or (ii) the Close of Business on the tenth Business Day (or such later date as may be determined by action of the Corporation’s Board of Directors) after the date that a tender or exchange offer by any Person (other
than the Corporation, any Subsidiary of the Corporation, any employee benefit plan of the Corporation or of any Subsidiary of the Corporation, or any Person or entity organized, appointed or established by the Corporation for or pursuant to the
terms of any such plan) is first published or sent or given within the meaning of Rule 14d-4(a) of the General Rules and Regulations (or any successor rule) under the Exchange Act, if, assuming the successful consummation thereof, such Person
would be an Acquiring Person. 
 “Shares Acquisition Date” shall mean the first date of public
announcement (which, for purposes of this definition, shall include, without limitation, a report filed pursuant to Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act) by the Corporation or an Acquiring Person that an Acquiring Person has become such;
provided, however, that, if such Person is determined not to have become an Acquiring Person as defined herein, then no Shares Acquisition Date shall be deemed to have occurred. 

(b) The definitions of “SMSL Common Shares” and “SMSL Share Purchase Agreement” are deleted from
Section 1 of the Rights Agreement. 
 (c) The last sentence of Section 24(a) is hereby deleted and replaced with the
following: 
 “Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors shall not be empowered to effect such exchange at any
time after any Person (other than the Corporation, any Subsidiary of the Corporation, any employee benefit plan of the Corporation or any such Subsidiary, or any entity holding Common Shares for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan), together
with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, becomes the Beneficial Owner of (i) for any Person other than the Excluded Persons, 50% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding or (ii) for the Excluded Persons, 70% of the Common
Shares then outstanding.”

 2. Exhibit C – Summary of Rights. 

(a) The “Distribution Date” paragraph as set forth in Exhibit C of the Rights Agreement is hereby deleted and
replaced with the following: 
  

			
	Distribution Date:	  	Subject to certain exceptions, the rights will separate from the common shares and become exercisable after (1) the 10th day after the public announcement that a person or
group has acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the company’s common shares or (2) the 10th business day (or such later date as determined by the company’s board of directors) after a person or group announces a tender or
exchange offer which could result in that person or group holding 20% or more of the company’s common shares. Aggregate beneficial ownership of 20% or more but not more than 70% of the company’s common shares (excluding any DRIP Shares, as
defined below) by Dennis R. Washington, the company’s largest shareholder, Kyle R. Washington, the company’s Co-Chairman, certain of their relatives and their respective controlled affiliates, and other parties that enter into certain
voting agreements with them (collectively, the “Excluded Persons”) will not cause the rights to separate from the common shares and become exercisable. As used in this Summary of Rights, the term “DRIP Shares” means any company
common shares acquired by the Excluded Persons after January 1, 2013 pursuant to their participation in the company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan with respect to any cash dividends paid on the company’s common shares or Series A
preferred shares through and for the quarter ending March 31, 2015.

 (b) The “Exchange Provision” paragraph as set forth in Exhibit C of the Rights
Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: 
  

			
	Exchange Provision:	  	Any time after the date an Acquiring Person obtains more than 20% or the Excluded Persons acquire more than 70% (excluding any DRIP Shares) of the company’s common shares
and before that Acquiring Person acquires 50% or the Excluded Persons acquire more than 70% (excluding any DRIP Shares) of the company’s outstanding common shares, the company may exchange each right owned by all other rights holders, in whole
or in part, for one company common share.

 (c) The term “(excluding any Series A Securities and SMSL Common Shares)”
in the “Flip-in,” “Flip-over” and “Redemption of Rights” paragraphs as set forth in Exhibit C of the Rights Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the term “(excluding any DRIP Shares)”. 

3. No Other Changes. Except as expressly provided herein, the Rights Agreement is not amended, supplemented, modified, revised or
otherwise affected by this Amendment No. 2, and the Rights Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.

its sole discretion upon notice to Borrower; and (y) in the case of Non-Formula Advances, up to $6,000,000. 

“Adjusted Asset Coverage Ratio” means unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and investments of Borrower held at Bank plus
Eligible Receivables (as valued in the Borrowing Base) divided by the total amount of the Obligations. 
 “Asset
Coverage Ratio” means unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and investments of Borrower held at Bank or covered under ACAs (account control agreements) in favor of Bank plus Eligible Receivables (as valued in the Borrowing Base) divided by
the total amount of the Obligations. 
 “Credit Limit” means $10,000,000, which is intended to be the maximum

3. CONSISTENT CHANGES. The Existing Documents are each hereby amended wherever necessary to reflect the changes described above. 

4. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Borrower shall pay Lenders its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with this Business Financing
Modification Agreement. 
 5. NO DEFENSES OF BORROWER/GENERAL RELEASE. Borrower agrees that, as of this date, it has no defenses against
the obligations to pay any amounts under the Indebtedness. Each of Borrower and Guarantor (each, a “Releasing Party”) acknowledges that Lender would not enter into this Business Financing Modification Agreement without Releasing
Party’s assurance that it has no claims against Lender or any of Lender’s officers, directors, employees or agents. Except for the obligations arising hereafter under this Business Financing Modification Agreement, each Releasing Party
releases Lender, and each of Lender’s and entity’s officers, directors and employees from any known or unknown claims that Releasing Party now has against Lender of any nature, including any claims that Releasing Party, its successors,
counsel, and advisors may in the future discover they would have now if they had known facts not now known to them, whether founded in contract, in tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability, including but not limited to any claims arising
out of or related to the Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby. Releasing Party waives the provisions of California Civil Code section 1542, which states: 
 A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, MUST HAVE
MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. 
 The provisions, waivers and releases set forth in this section are binding upon
each Releasing Party and its shareholders, agents, employees, assigns and successors in interest. The provisions, waivers and releases of this section shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its agents, employees, officers, directors, assigns and
successors in interest. The provisions of this section shall survive payment in full of the Obligations, full performance of all the terms of this Business Financing Modification Agreement and the Business Financing Agreement, and/or Lender’s
actions to exercise any remedy available under the Business Financing Agreement or otherwise. 
 6. CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower
understands and agrees that in modifying the Existing Documents, Lender is relying upon Borrower’s representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth therein. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Business Financing Modification
Agreement, the terms of the Existing Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Lender’s agreement to modifications to the Existing Documents pursuant to this Business Financing Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate
Lender to make any future modifications to the Existing Documents or the Indebtedness. Nothing in this Business Financing Modification Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Indebtedness.

  
 4 

 
It is the intention of Lender and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of Existing Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Lender in writing. No maker,
endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Business Financing Modification Agreement. The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this Business Financing Modification Agreement, but also to any subsequent modification agreements
relating to the Business Financing Agreement.
