subject to the Subcharter Agreement or any Chartered Vessel Bareboat Charter will be directly or indirectly subjected to a Transfer to any Person who immediately prior to such transaction was a Person other than New Member or any other Guarantor;
and such vessel shall be a “Transferred Vessel”. A Vessel Transfer shall include, without limitation, (x) an assignment of the Subcharter Agreement (respecting the vessel(s) that are the subject of such assignment) or any Chartered
Vessel Bareboat Charter, (y) any merger, consolidation, sale of Capital Stock or other transaction of any Guarantor as a result of which New Member and/or one or more of the Guarantors ceases to hold a majority of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor

 17 

 result in a change in any calculation required to determine compliance with any provision contained in this Guarantee,
the Guarantors and the Beneficiaries will negotiate in good faith to amend such provision in a manner to reflect such change such that the determination of compliance with such provision shall yield the same substantive result as would have been
obtained prior to such change in GAAP. Until such an amendment is entered into, covenants shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP as in effect as of the date hereof. 
  
 SECTION 2. Guarantee. 
  
 2.01. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each of the Beneficiaries, without offset or limitation,
as primary obligor and not merely as surety: 
  
 (a) the due,
punctual and full payment by the Guarantors of all amounts for which any Beneficiary is or becomes liable under the Charter Documents (other than as a result solely of a Beneficiary Default), or for which any other Guarantor is or becomes liable to
any Beneficiary hereunder or under any of the Charter Documents (other than as a result solely of a Beneficiary Default), whether by declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the
automatic stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and unmatured interest thereon whether or not enforceable); and 
  
 (b) the due, punctual and full performance by the Guarantors of, and compliance by the Guarantors with, all covenants, terms and conditions (including any
and all indemnities) for which any Beneficiary is or becomes liable under the Charter Documents (other than as a result solely of a Beneficiary Default), or for which any other Guarantor is or becomes liable to any Beneficiary hereunder or under any
of the Charter Documents (other than as a result solely of a Beneficiary Default), other than those referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Section 2.01 (the obligations set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Section
2.01 are collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”). 
  
 2.02. This Guarantee, including all guarantees, covenants, indemnities, and agreements of the Guarantors contained herein, is a continuing guarantee and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the
terms hereof and shall not be discharged until such time as all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be indefeasibly paid in full in cash and duly performed or complied with in accordance with the terms thereof. 
  
 2.03. This Guarantee is a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance
and not of collectibility, and no obligation of any Guarantor is in any way conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to collect from or enforce performance or compliance by any Person, or to exercise or assert any right or remedy to which any of
the Beneficiaries is or may be entitled in connection with the Transaction Agreement or any other document or instrument, or upon any other event, contingency or circumstance whatsoever. 
  
 2.04. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other
right which the Beneficiaries may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that if for any reason whatsoever the Subcharterer or any other Guarantor directly obligated to do so shall fail duly, punctually and fully to (a) pay

  

 18 

 any Guaranteed Obligations that are payment obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether by
declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and unmatured interest thereon whether or not enforceable), the other
Guarantors will forthwith pay or cause to be paid such amount to the person or persons entitled to receive the same or (b) if the Guaranteed Obligation is other than for payment, perform or comply with the Guaranteed Obligations as and when the same
are to be performed or complied with, the other Guarantors shall forthwith perform or comply with such Guaranteed Obligations or cause such Guaranteed Obligations to be performed or complied with. 
  
 2.05. If any of the Guarantors fails promptly to fulfill any of its
Guaranteed Obligations, the Beneficiaries may, but are not obligated to, fulfill any such Guaranteed Obligation. Any amounts paid and all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and allocated charges of internal
counsel) incurred by the Beneficiaries in fulfilling any Guaranteed Obligation or curing any Event of Default or otherwise in enforcing or preserving any rights under this Guarantee and all other amounts due from the Guarantors hereunder shall be
payable by the Guarantors to the Beneficiaries upon demand, together with interest at the “default rate” per annum applicable from time to time under the Guarantors’ principal Loan Facility, compounded monthly, from the date of
demand. The Beneficiaries agree to act in a commercially reasonable manner in fulfilling any such Guaranteed Obligation or curing any such Event of Default, and agree to afford the Guarantor Representative such prior notice of their actions as is
reasonable under the circumstances. If, in the course of fulfilling any such Guaranteed Obligation, the Beneficiaries become entitled to assert claims against third parties other than the Guarantors, the Beneficiaries shall assign such claims to the
Guarantors if the Guarantors have fully reimbursed the Beneficiaries for fulfilling Guaranteed Obligations or curing Events of Default, the Guaranteed Obligation has been fully performed, no Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing and the
Guarantors have indemnified the Beneficiaries to their reasonable satisfaction (including satisfaction as to the collectibility of such indemnity) against any Losses that might occur from the Guarantors’ pursuit of such claims. 
  
 SECTION 3. Indemnity Agreement. 
  
 (a) Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally covenants to the
Beneficiaries that it will fully and timely pay and perform its respective obligations under this Guarantee, the Subcharter Agreement, the Charter Override Agreement and the Bareboat Charters to which it is a party and agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each Beneficiary from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, charges, actions, judgments, suits, proceedings, governmental investigations, deficiencies, taxes, interests, penalties, costs and expenses (including
interest and penalties, reasonable costs of investigation, and the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other reasonably necessary professional experts) (collectively, “Losses”) imposed upon or
incurred by the Beneficiary resulting from or arising directly or indirectly out of any of the Charter Documents, including any claim against CSX under the Charter Guarantee Agreements and the Indemnity Guarantee Agreements, or otherwise relating to
the Guaranteed Obligations, but excluding any Losses suffered by any Beneficiaries resulting solely from any Beneficiary Default. The Guarantors hereby acknowledge and agree that their obligations hereunder are in all ways absolute, notwithstanding
any dispute or controversy among the parties hereto arising in connection with 
  

 19 

 the Transaction Agreement or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Losses shall not include any Losses relating to
CCF Program benefits unless such Losses arise from termination by a Guarantor of the Subcharter Agreement as to any vessel grounded on vessel obsolescence if such termination results in the occurrence of a nonqualified withdrawal to pay the related
CCF Program indebtedness and interest is assessed on the additional tax payable from such withdrawal as provided in the CCF Program. CSX and each relevant Beneficiary in connection with any such obsolescence agrees to exercise reasonable commercial
efforts to obtain the permission from the United States Maritime Administration to prepay such related CCF Program indebtedness to avoid the payment of interest on such additional tax. 
  
 (b) Each of the Beneficiaries hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Guarantor from and
against any and all Losses imposed upon or incurred by such Guarantor resulting solely from or arising directly or indirectly out of any Beneficiary Default. The Beneficiaries hereby acknowledge and agree that their obligations under this clause (b)
are in all ways absolute, notwithstanding any dispute or controversy among the parties hereto arising in connection with the Transaction Agreement or otherwise. 
  

SECTION 4. Guarantors’ Obligations Unconditional. 
  
 4.01. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be irrevocable and shall be primary, absolute and unconditional joint and several recourse
obligations, not subject to any defense, set off, recoupment or counterclaim which the Subcharterer or the other Guarantors (or any of them) may have or assert as against any Beneficiary other than the defense that payment or performance of any
Guaranteed Obligation is not due under the terms of the relevant Operative Document or under the terms of this Guarantee or has been performed, shall not be affected or impaired irrespective of any matter, and shall remain in full force and effect
until payment and/or performance in full. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be released, discharged, set off or otherwise affected by (i) the amendment or modification of any of
the Guaranteed Obligations or of any agreement relating thereto, including any waiver or consent involving a change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or any other term of, all or any of the obligations contained in any of the Guaranteed
Obligations (except that if any such amendment or modification is effected by any Beneficiary and has not been consented to by the Guarantor Representative in writing in accordance with the terms of this Guarantee the obligations of the Guarantors
hereunder shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations without giving effect to such amendment or modification and from and after any amendment or modification effected by any Guarantor with the consent in writing of the Beneficiaries in accordance
with the terms of this Guarantee or effected by any Beneficiary with the consent in writing of the Guarantors in accordance with the terms of this Guarantee, this Guarantee shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so amended or modified), (ii)
any failure, omission or delay of any Person to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under, or any release of, any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations (except that, if any such release of an agreement relating to the
Guaranteed Obligations (a) is effected by any Beneficiary and has not been consented to in writing by the Guarantor Representative in accordance with the terms of this Guarantee or (b) is effected by any Guarantor and has not been consented to in
writing by the Beneficiary Representative in accordance with the terms of this Guarantee, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations without giving effect to such release, and, from and after 
  

 20 

 any release effected by any Guarantor with the consent in writing of the Beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of
this Guarantee or effected by any Beneficiary with the consent in writing of the Guarantors in accordance with the terms of this Guarantee, this Guarantee shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations giving effect to such release), any exercise or
nonexercise by any person of any right, remedy, power or privilege under any such agreement, (iii) any assignment, conveyance, mortgage or other transfer of all or any part of the respective rights and interests of the Subcharterer or the Charterer
in, to or under any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or of all or any part of the rights of the Beneficiaries under this Guarantee, (iv) any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, marshalling of
assets and liabilities, receivership, conservatorship, custodianship, assignment for the benefit of creditors, arrangement, composition, readjustment, winding up or similar proceeding (collectively, a “Bankruptcy”) with respect to
any Guarantor or any Beneficiary, except that the obligations of the Guarantors under Section 2.01 shall not be accelerated by reason of the Bankruptcy of any Beneficiary, (v) any rejection of any of the Charter Documents or Guaranteed
Obligations in a Bankruptcy, except that the obligations of the Guarantors under Section 2.01 shall not extend to a claim or loss resulting from rejection by a Beneficiary of any of the Charter Documents or Guaranteed Obligations in such
Beneficiary’s Bankruptcy unless such Bankruptcy resulted from failure on the part of any Guarantor to perform its obligations, (vi) any failure or delay, as the result of actual or alleged force majeure, in the fulfillment of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations, (vii) any action to obtain or enforce any judgment against any Person or the satisfaction of any judgment for partial payment or performance against any Person (except to the extent of such payment or performance), (viii) any
defect in the title, compliance with specifications, condition, design, operation or fitness for use of, or ineligibility for any particular trade of, or any damage to, or loss or destruction of, or any redelivery, repossession, surrender or other
interruption or cessation in the use of, any vessel or other asset subject to a Guaranteed Obligation including any governmental prohibition, political situation, military intervention, restriction, condemnation, requisition or seizure for any
reason whatsoever, including any act or omission of any Beneficiary or any Guarantor and regardless of the duration thereof (even though such duration would otherwise constitute a frustration of a lease or other contract), (ix) the invalidity of any
payment for any reason whatsoever, (x) except as expressly provided herein, any merger or consolidation of any Beneficiary or any Guarantor into or with any other corporation or other entity, or any other corporate change in any Beneficiary or any
Guarantor, or any sale, lease or transfer of any of the assets of the Beneficiaries or any Guarantor to any other Person, or any change in the ownership of any shares of Capital Stock of any Beneficiary or any Guarantor, (xi) any ineligibility of
any vessel which may be the subject of a Guaranteed Obligation for documentation under the laws of any applicable country, (xii) any default by any Beneficiary or any other Person of its obligations under the Transaction Agreement or (except that
Guarantors shall not be liable for Losses suffered by any Beneficiaries resulting solely from any Beneficiary Default) any Guaranteed Obligation, or any failure or delay on the part of any Beneficiary in complying with any terms or covenants under
the Transaction Agreement or any such Guaranteed Obligation, or any breach of any representation or warranty by, or any act or omission of, the Beneficiaries under the Transaction Agreement or any such Guaranteed Obligation, (xiii) any other
circumstance or occurrence which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense or discharge of the liabilities of a guarantor or indemnitor except for any defense that any applicable Guaranteed Obligation is not due under the terms of the
relevant Operative Document or under the terms of this Guarantee or has been performed, (xiv) any 
  

 21 

 counterclaim, set off, deduction or defense which any Guarantor may have against the Beneficiaries or any other Person
(other than any defense arising under this Guarantee or any defense that any applicable Guaranteed Obligation is not due or has been performed), and in no event may any Guarantor assert (and each Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert) as
a counterclaim, set off, deduction or defense to the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder any claim that any Guarantor may have against the Beneficiaries (other than any defense arising under the terms of this Guarantee) or any party to the
Charter Documents; including the Beneficiaries (in such capacity), (xv) any order, ruling, law, regulation or decree now or hereafter in effect which might in any manner affect any of the terms or provisions of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or
any of the rights, powers or remedies thereunder of any of the Guarantors, or (xvi) any failure by any Beneficiary to defend or mitigate damages respecting any claim made against any Beneficiary under any Operative Document (so long as, if such
Beneficiary chooses to take action under Section 2.05 of this Guarantee, it acts in a commercially reasonable manner). 
  
 4.02. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the recipient thereof (or the assignee of such recipient) upon a Bankruptcy of any Person, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a custodian, receiver,
intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Person or any substantial part of the property of any Person, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. Upon a Bankruptcy of any Guarantor, the Guarantors agree
that, for purposes of this Guarantee and their obligations hereunder, such Guarantor shall be deemed to have been declared in default, with all attendant consequences, whether or not the pendency of such Bankruptcy shall permit the declaration of
such default. 
  
 SECTION 5. Waiver; Acknowledgments. 
  
 5.01. The Guarantors waive diligence, presentment, promptness, presentation
to, demand of payment or performance from and protest by the Beneficiaries to any Person of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waive notice of protest for nonpayment or nonperformance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and the Guarantors
further waive (i) acceptance of this Guarantee and proof of reliance thereon by any Beneficiary, (ii) all notices required by law to preserve intact any rights against the Guarantors, (iii) any requirement that any Person be joined as a party to any
proceeding for the enforcement of any obligation under any of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder, (iv) the filing of claims by any Beneficiary in the event of a Bankruptcy of a Guarantor or any other Person, (v) all demands upon a
Guarantor (except for notices or demands expressly provided for in this Guarantee or the Subcharter Agreement) or any other Person and all other formalities with respect to a Guarantor or any such other Person, (vi) any right to require any
Beneficiary to mitigate damages resulting from a default by any Person under any of the Guaranteed Obligations (so long as, if such Beneficiary chooses to take action under Section 2.05 of this Guarantee, it acts in a commercially reasonable
manner), (vii) any requirement that any or all of the Beneficiaries protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien on any property, (viii) any requirement that any or all of the Beneficiaries exhaust any right or take any action
against a Guarantor or any other Person or any collateral, (ix) any and all rights any Guarantor may have or that at any time hereafter may be conferred upon it, by statute, regulation or otherwise, to terminate or cancel this Guarantee, (x) any
rights 
  

 22 

 to the enforcement, assertion or exercise by any Beneficiary of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect
of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (xi) any requirement of diligence, and (xii) any damage resulting from a default by any party under any of the Guaranteed Obligations, other than Losses suffered by any Beneficiaries resulting solely from a
Beneficiary Default. Each Beneficiary shall have the right to bring suit directly against any of the Guarantors either prior to or concurrently with any lawsuit against, or without bringing any suit against, any other Person. Notwithstanding the
generality of the foregoing waivers, no Guarantor waives any right it may have under the Transaction Agreement to receive notice of any event or circumstance. 
  

5.02. Each of the Guarantors confirms and acknowledges to each Beneficiary that (i) the Guarantor is aware of, and has assumed, the risks involved in,
this transaction, including those associated with the condition (financial or otherwise), creditworthiness, affairs, status and nature of the Guarantors or the Beneficiaries; (ii) the Guarantor has independently determined to incur its obligations
hereunder and the Guarantor understands that the Beneficiaries are relying upon this Guarantee and that the Beneficiaries would not enter into the Transaction Agreement except in reliance upon the Guarantors to honor their obligations under this
Guarantee in accordance with its terms; and (iii) without waiving any rights of the Guarantors under or in respect of the Transaction Agreement, for purposes of incurring its obligations under this Guarantee the Guarantor has not relied upon any
information provided by the Beneficiaries with respect to the Beneficiaries or any other Guarantor and (except as may be set forth in the Transaction Agreement) none of the Beneficiaries has made any representation or warranty to the Guarantors with
respect to any Guaranteed Obligation. 
  
 SECTION 6. Subrogation;
Subordination. 
  
 Until all Guaranteed Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid in full in cash (or, as between New Member or any of its Subsidiaries as claimant and a Guarantor which is not New Member or any of its Subsidiaries as obligor, and so long as no Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing,
until all Guaranteed Obligations then payable or performance of which is then due have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash), each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter
have against any other Guarantor or the Subcharterer or any of their assets in connection with this Guarantee or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under
contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Subcharterer or other Guarantor, (b) any right to enforce,
or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against the Subcharterer or other Guarantor, (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by
any Beneficiary, and (d) any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other Guarantor. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement,
indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against the Subcharterer or
other Guarantor or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other Guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any 
  

 23 

 Beneficiary may have against the Subcharterer or other Guarantor, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may
have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other Guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights
while the waiver described in the first sentence of this Section 6 is in effect, such amount shall be held in trust for the Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to the Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof. 
  
 SECTION 7. No Third-Party Beneficiary. 
  
 This
Guarantee is made for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the parties hereto. No person other than the parties hereto is an intended beneficiary hereof and no person other than the parties hereto shall be entitled to enforce the obligations
of the other parties hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 8. Conditions to Effectiveness.

  
 The effectiveness of this Guarantee is subject to the
occurrence of the Closing Date and Guarantors shall have no obligations hereunder unless and until the Closing (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) has occurred. This Guarantee shall immediately and automatically become null and void in the
event that the Transaction Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with its terms. 
  
 SECTION 9. Representations and Warranties. 
  
 Except, with respect to Sections 9.01(a), (b) and (c), insofar as the accuracy of such representation and warranty is dependent on corporate action of CSX and its Affiliates to authorize, execute and deliver this
Guarantee prior to the Closing Date, each of the Guarantors represents and warrants to the Beneficiaries that as of the Closing Date: 
  
 9.01. Organization; Authorization.

 (b) This Guarantee has been duly and validly executed and delivered by
each Guarantor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms. 
  
 (c) Neither the execution and delivery of this Guarantee nor the fulfillment of the terms hereof or of any other agreement or instrument contemplated by
this Guarantee has constituted or resulted in or will constitute or result in: 
  
 (i) any violation of such Guarantor’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws or other organizational or constitutive documents of
such Guarantor; 
  

 24 

 (ii) any violation of, or be an event that is (or with or without notice or the passage
of time or both will result in) a violation of, (a) any Loan Facility or any agreement entered into in connection therewith or (b) any other material note, bond, indenture, deed of trust, license, mortgage, lien, lease, agreement, instrument, order,
arbitration award, judgment, injunction or decree (each instrument described in clause (a) or (b), a “Material Instrument”) to which such Guarantor is a party or by which such Guarantor or any of its assets is bound, unless such
violation described in this subparagraph (ii)(c) either (x) would not have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, operations or financial condition of the Guarantors taken as a whole, the validity or enforceability of this Guarantee or
the Guarantors’ ability to perform the Guaranteed Obligations and their obligations under this Guarantee and the Charter Documents or (y) arises primarily because a Material Instrument to which CSX or one of its Affiliates was a party (or by
which its assets were bound) immediately prior to the Closing Date was violated by the execution and delivery of this Guarantee; or 
  
 (iii) any material violation or material conflict with any statute, rule or regulation applicable to such Guarantor or any of its or their
properties or assets. 
  
 9.02. No Default. None of the
Guarantors is in violation of or in default under any Material Instrument (other than any violation or default of an instrument of the type described in Section 9.01(c)(ii)(b) that either (i) would not have a material adverse effect on the
business, assets, operations or financial condition of the Guarantors taken as a whole, the validity or enforceability of this Guarantee or the Guarantors’ ability to perform the Guaranteed Obligations and their obligations under this Guarantee
and the Charter Documents), or (ii) that existed immediately prior to the Closing Date. 
  
 9.03. Taxes; Consents; Approvals, etc. 
  
 (a) It is not necessary in order to ensure the legality, validity or enforceability of this Guarantee that it or any other document be filed, recorded or registered, whether with any court or government authority or
otherwise, or that any stamp, registration or similar duty or tax be paid on or in relation to this Guarantee save for the filings, recordings and registrations (if any) which have been made or which are not yet due (and which the Guarantors
undertake to pay forthwith to the relevant authorities when they become due) and save for the duties and taxes which have been paid. 
  
 (b) All consents, permissions and approvals of, and registrations, filings and recordings with, governmental authorities and third parties required (if
any) for the Guarantors’ execution and performance of their obligations under this Guarantee have been duly obtained or effected and are in full force and effect. 
  
 9.04. No Insolvency. None of the Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries is Insolvent, and none of them will be
rendered Insolvent by the execution of this Guarantee, the Transaction Agreement, the Subcharter Agreement, or by the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
  

 25 

 9.05. Subsidiaries Guarantors. As of the Closing Date, each Subsidiary of New Member is a
Guarantor hereunder. 
  
 9.06. Citizenship. As of the

the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any governmental body or agency succeeding to the functions of the Securities and Exchange Commission); and provided, further, that if one or more of the consolidated Subsidiaries of New
Member shall not be a Guarantor or if one of the Guarantors is a Person other than New Member and its consolidated Subsidiaries the financial statements delivered pursuant hereto shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate containing a
reconciliation certified as accurate by an authorized financial officer of the Guarantor and eliminating from such financial statements the assets, liabilities, income and expenses and cash flows of the non-Guarantors, adding in the assets,

Owner Trustee, Owner Participant, indenture trustee or other party to a Charter Document not affiliated with CSX, has requested information that such party is entitled to receive under the applicable Charter Documents, the Guarantors shall provide
to such Person such information. 
  
 10.03. [Intentionally
Omitted.] 
  
 10.04. Designation of Unrestricted
Subsidiaries. Every Subsidiary of New Member shall be a Restricted Subsidiary, except that the Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary (including any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary of New Member) that is not a party
to the Subcharter Agreement or any Operative Document to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary, unless such Subsidiary owns any Capital Stock or Indebtedness of, or owns or holds any lien (other than as lessor under a lease of such property that is not a
capital lease) on any property of, New Member or any Guarantor; provided that either (i)(A) the Interest Coverage Ratio of New Member and the remaining Restricted Subsidiaries for the twelve-month period ending on the most recent quarter for
which financial statements have been provided pursuant to Section 10.01, is no less than 1.90 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the designation as if it occurred at the commencement of the period of four consecutive fiscal
quarters then most recently ended, and (B) no Tier 1 Default or Tier 2 Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no Guarantor shall have Knowledge that any event or circumstance that constitutes a Tier 2 Default has occurred and is

Directors shall be evidenced to the Beneficiaries by promptly filing with the Beneficiaries a copy of the resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation
complied with the foregoing provisions. Any Guarantor that is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with this Section 10.04 shall be released from all liabilities under this Guarantee other than in respect of any breach or
violation of any provision of the Chartered Vessel Bareboat Charters or the Subcharter Agreement (as applicable) or this Guarantee arising prior to or at the time of such designation. 
  

 28 

 10.05. Charter Vessels. Each Guarantor that is a party to any of the Chartered Vessel Bareboat
Charters covenants to the Beneficiaries that it shall timely and fully perform each and every covenant, term and condition of each such agreement to which it is a party and the Charter Override Agreement. 
  
 10.06. United States Citizenship. Each Guarantor covenants to the
Beneficiaries that it shall at all times be a Citizen of the United States so long as any of the Charter Documents so requires, unless such Guarantor’s failure to be a Citizen of the United States results from CSX’s failure to be a Citizen
of the United States. 
  
 10.07. Power of Attorney. On the
Closing Date each Guarantor that is a party to any Chartered Vessel Bareboat Charter shall execute and deliver to the Beneficiaries a power of attorney (the “Power of Attorney”) substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A. The power of attorney granted pursuant to the Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the termination of this Guarantee. The powers conferred on Beneficiaries under the Power of Attorney
are solely to protect the interests of the Beneficiaries with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations relating to the Chartered Vessel Bareboat Charters and shall not impose any duty upon the Beneficiaries to exercise any such powers. The
Beneficiaries agree that they shall not exercise any power or authority granted under the Power of Attorney unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and shall exercise such power or authority strictly in furtherance of the remedies
provided for under any applicable Chartered Vessel Bareboat Charter or under this Guarantee in respect of such Chartered Vessel Bareboat Charter. The Beneficiaries agree to act in a commercially reasonable manner in exercising the powers granted
under the Power of Attorney, and agree to afford the Guarantor Representative such prior notice of their actions as is reasonable in the circumstances (but in no event less than three business days’ prior written notice of the initial exercise
of the Power of Attorney, on a one-time basis). 
  
 10.08.
Further Assurances. New Member and each other Guarantor shall from time to time, whether before, at or after the Closing Date, execute and deliver such further instruments and take such other action as may be necessary or reasonably requested
to implement and give effect to the express rights of the Beneficiaries hereunder or under the Subcharter Agreement, in each case at the expense of such Beneficiaries. 
  
 SECTION 11. Certain Covenants. Until the satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations, New Member and each other Guarantor
covenant as follows: 
  
 11.01. Requirement of Joinder.

  
 (a) Each of the following, whether direct or indirect and
whether a single transaction or series of related transactions, shall be a joinder transaction (a “Joinder Transaction”): 
  
 (1) any consolidation or merger of any Guarantor with or into any other Person (other than another Person who is, immediately prior to
such transaction, a Guarantor) unless such Guarantor is the surviving entity of such consolidation or merger; 
  

 29 

 (2) any Transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of a Guarantor to any Person
(who is not, immediately prior to such Transfer, a Guarantor); or 
  
 (3) any Vessel Transfer to any Person (who is not, immediately prior to such Transfer, a Guarantor); 
  
 provided, however, that if all Guarantors involved in such transaction were designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement immediately prior to such transaction, then the Continuing Person of such transaction shall be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and such transaction shall not be a Joinder Transaction; and provided further,
however, that a Joinder Agreement (as herein defined) with respect to a Vessel Transfer need only be in respect of the Transferred Vessels; and provided further that the sale of the equity or assets of Horizon Services Group,
LLC or Sea-Logix, LLC shall not constitute a Joinder Transaction if (w) such transaction does not involve a Vessel Transfer or the merger or consolidation, or Transfer of material assets of, any Guarantor other than Horizon Services Group, LLC or
Sea-Logix, LLC, (x) the requirement set forth in Section 11.02(b)(1)(x) has been satisfied, (y) Horizon Services Group, LLC or Sea-Logix, LLC (as applicable) shall not have received material assets from other Guarantors prior to or
concurrently with such sale and, (z) the entity or assets to be sold, taken together with any other entity or assets previously sold or to be sold pursuant to this proviso, would not constitute a “significant subsidiary” of New Member as
such item is defined in Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the date hereof if each reference to “10%” in such Regulation were a reference to “20%” and only the entities that were Guarantors were
included in the group of “registrant” and its “subsidiaries” as those terms are used in such Regulation (measured in each case immediately prior to such sale). Upon any such sale of the equity of Horizon Services Group, LLC or
Sea-Logix, LLC (as applicable), the sold entity shall be released from all Guaranteed Obligations arising following consummation of such sale. 
  
 (b) Neither New Member nor any other Guarantor shall consummate any Joinder Transaction unless, prior thereto: 
  
 (1) each Continuing Person who is not already a party to
this Agreement shall have executed and delivered to the Beneficiaries a joinder agreement in the form attached as Exhibit B to this Guarantee (each, together with the applicable power of attorney if required by Section 10.07, a
“Joinder Agreement”) agreeing to be bound as a Guarantor and successor “New Member” (if applicable) hereunder, containing an assumption by each such Person of the due and punctual payment, performance and observance of
each obligation, covenant and agreement of the Guarantors contained in this Guarantee solely with respect to the Transferred Vessels and the Guaranteed Obligations with respect thereto; provided, however, that all references in such
Joinder Agreement to any Charter Documents contained in such Joinder Agreement shall be deemed to refer only to such agreements that relate to any Transferred Vessels; 
  
 (2) each Guarantor shall have delivered to the Beneficiaries an Officers’ Certificate of such Guarantor
(in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Beneficiary Representative), stating that such Joinder Transaction complies with this Agreement; 
  

 30 

 (3) each Person executing a Joinder Agreement shall have delivered to the Beneficiaries a
legal opinion (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Beneficiary Representative and subject to qualifications and exceptions consistent with customary opinion practice), stating that such Joinder Agreement (x) has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by such Person, (y) constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, and (z) does not require any material governmental consent, approval or
filing under the law of any relevant jurisdiction reasonably identified by the Beneficiary Representative, or any approval or consent from a third party under any instrument, license or agreement (including stockholder approval) that would be
material to such Person executing the Joinder Agreement and the Guarantors affiliated with such Person taken as a whole, except for such consents, approvals and filings as have been duly obtained and are in full force and effect on the date of such
legal opinion, and copies of which have been supplied to the Beneficiary Representative. In rendering such opinion, the counsel may rely on certificates or other representations from such Person or Persons executing a Joinder Agreement as to (i)
matters of fact and no opinion shall need to be rendered as to such matters, and (ii) whether any specific instruments, licenses and agreements are material. 
  
 (c) The requirements with respect to Joinder shall be independent of and in addition to any requirements imposed on any transaction under any other
Section of this Agreement. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding any other
provision hereof, the obligations, covenants and agreements contained in Sections 11.03 and 11.05 hereof shall not apply to any Guarantor that is not an Affiliate of Carlyle Partners III, L.P. 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Guarantor that is not an
Affiliate of Carlyle Partners III, L.P. may not incur any Indebtedness prior to December 31, 2012, unless, after giving effect to such incurrence of Indebtedness, the Interest Coverage Ratio for such Guarantor and each other Guarantor that is
jointly and severally liable pursuant to this Guarantee or a Joinder Agreement for such first Guarantor’s obligations hereunder would be greater than 1.90 to 1.00 (on a combined basis). 
  
 11.02. Other Covenants. 
  
 (a) Each of the following, whether direct or indirect and whether a single
or series of related transactions, shall be a tested transaction (a “Tested Transaction”): 
  
 (1) any Joinder Transaction (other than a reincorporation merger and other than any merger or consolidation that is solely an acquisition
transaction); 
  
 (2) any Change of Control
Transaction; and 
  
 (3) any Tradelane Transfer
Transaction; 
  

 31 

 (b) Neither New Member nor any other Guarantor shall consummate any Tested Transaction unless the
requirements set forth in paragraphs (1) – (6) below have been satisfied prior thereto: 
  
 (1) (x) no Tier 1 Default and no Tier 2 Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall result from such Tested
Transaction and (y) no Guarantor shall have Knowledge that any event or circumstance that constitutes a Tier 2 Default has occurred and is continuing or shall result from such Tested Transaction; provided, however, that for purposes of
applying clause (y) of this Section 11.02(b)(1) to a Change of Control Transaction, the reference to $2,000,000 in Section 14.01(b)(4) shall be deemed to be a reference to $5,000,000; 
  
 (2) either (x) the Interest Coverage Ratio for the
Continuing Person (including only such Continuing Person and such other Persons that are to become Guarantors by delivering a Joinder Agreement in connection with such Tested Transaction) for the four quarter period ending on the most recent prior
quarter-end for such Continuing Person on a pro forma basis shall not be less than 1.90 to 1.00, or (y) the Interest Coverage Ratio for the Guarantors (excluding the Continuing Person and such other Persons that are to become Guarantors by
delivering a Joinder Agreement in connection with such Tested Transaction) for the four quarter period ending on the most recent prior quarter-end for such Guarantors on a pro forma basis shall not be less than 1.90 to 1.00; 
  
 (3) each representation and warranty in Sections
9.01, 9.02, 9.03, 9.04 and 9.06 shall be made by the Continuing Person to the Beneficiaries on the date of the Transfer and shall be true and correct for such Continuing Person as of such date; 
  
 (4) such Tested Transaction shall not constitute a Transfer
by a Guarantor to an Affiliate of any Guarantor if such Affiliate is not itself a Guarantor; 
  
 (5) each Guarantor and each Continuing Person shall have delivered to the Beneficiaries an Officers’ Certificate of such Guarantor or
Continuing Person, as applicable (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Beneficiary Representative) stating that (x) such Tested Transaction complies with Sections 11.01 and 11.02 including the delivery of the Joinder
Agreement and satisfaction of the Interest Coverage Ratio test set forth above, and (y) both immediately prior to and after giving effect to the proposed Tested Transaction and all related transactions (including any transfers of assets or
incurrence of Indebtedness in connection with, as a result of, or in anticipation of such transaction), paragraphs (1) and (4) and either paragraph (2)(x) or (2)(y) of this Section 11.02(b) have been satisfied; and

  
 (6) each Guarantor and each Continuing Person
shall have delivered to the Beneficiaries a legal opinion (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Beneficiary Representative, relying as to matters of fact on certificates of public officials or officers of the applicable Guarantor or
Continuing Person and otherwise subject to qualifications and exceptions consistent with customary opinion practice), stating that such Tested Transaction, and consummation thereof, would not result in a breach of this 
  

 32 

 Agreement. In rendering such opinion, the counsel may rely on certificates or other representations from
such Person or Persons executing a Joinder Agreement as to (i) matters of fact, including as to the calculation of any financial covenants or tests contained in any agreement or instrument to which such Person is a party (except insofar as any legal
determination as to the Persons as to whom such calculation is made is required), and, with respect to compliance with Section 9.02, as to the absence of any default or event of default under any Material Instrument (other than a default or
event of default related to the Tested Transaction), and no opinion shall need to be rendered as to such matters, and (ii) whether any specific instruments, licenses and agreements are material. 
  
 All reasonable out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses
incurred by the Beneficiaries in connection with any Tested Transaction or proposed Tested Transaction shall be paid by the Guarantors. 
  
 If the Continuing Person satisfies the requirements of (b)(2) of this Section 11.02, then (i) each Guarantor that is not included in
the Continuing Person shall be released from all Guaranteed Obligations arising following consummation of the Tested Transaction with respect to the Transferred Vessels, (ii) all references to any Charter Documents herein shall be deemed to refer
only to such agreements that relate to any vessels that are not Transferred Vessels (it being understood that in no event shall any Guarantor be released from its liability in respect of any breach or violation of any provision of the Chartered
Vessel Bareboat Charters or the Subcharter Agreement (as applicable) or this Guarantee arising with respect to the Transferred Vessels prior to or at the time of such Tested Transaction), and (iii) all computations of Interest Coverage Ratios
hereunder shall be performed separately for the Continuing Person and the Guarantors that are not included in the Continuing Person. If the Continuing Person does not satisfy the requirements of (b)(2) of this Section 11.02, then the
Guaranteed Obligations of the Guarantors arising from or related to the assets and vessels subject to the Tested Transaction shall continue to be Guaranteed Obligations hereunder after the consummation of such Tested Transaction in addition to the
Joinder Agreement. 
  
 Each Beneficiary and each Guarantor further
agree not to assign, and will not permit an Affiliate to assign, any Charter Document other than as permitted by the terms of this Guarantee. 
  
 11.03. Limitation on Dividends. New Member covenants to the Beneficiaries that it will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
that is not wholly-owned by New Member to, pay or declare any dividend on any class of stock or make any other distribution on account of any class of its stock, or redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any shares of its
stock (all of the foregoing being herein called “Restricted Payments”) other than (x) Restricted Payments payable solely in Capital Stock either made by any Guarantor to another Guarantor or made by New Member to any Person or (y)
Restricted Payments to CSX, unless (a) New Member shall have provided to the Beneficiary Representative 15 days’ prior notice of its intent to make a Restricted Payment, which notice shall contain a reasonably detailed description of the

 33 

 commencement of the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters then most recently ended and, if such Restricted Payment
is a dividend or distribution of any part of the business or non-cash assets of any Guarantor, after giving pro forma effect to such dividend or distribution as if effected at the commencement of the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters then
most recently ended, (c) no Tier 1 Default or Tier 2 Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no Guarantor shall have Knowledge that any event or circumstance that constitutes a Tier 2 Default has occurred and is continuing;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent or restrict the redemption, repurchase or other acquisition or retirement for cash of any Capital Stock held by any member of New Member’s management pursuant to any
management equity subscription agreement or stock option agreement. 
  
 11.04. Restriction on Amendment of Guaranteed Obligations. New Member and each other Guarantor covenant to the Beneficiaries that they will agree not to amend, modify, waive, supplement, extend, renew or restate any of the terms of
the Chartered Vessel Bareboat Charters or any Charter Document in any manner without the prior written consent of the Beneficiary Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld if the proposed modifications are not adverse to the
Beneficiaries; it being understood that any such amendment, modification, waiver, supplement, extension, renewal or restatement of any covenant, agreement or condition respecting Hire (as such term is defined in the Subcharter Agreement) or
described in Article 5 – Maintenance, or Article 10 – Insurance, of the Subcharter Agreement is per se adverse to the Beneficiaries. New Member and each other Guarantor covenant that they will not grant or permit to exist any
security interest in, or lien on, the Subcharter Agreement, any Chartered Vessel Bareboat Charter or Charter Document. 
  
 11.05. Transactions with Affiliates and Stockholders. New Member and each other Guarantor covenant to the Beneficiaries that they will not, and
will not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, purchase, acquire or lease any property from, or sell, transfer or lease any property to, or otherwise deal with, whether in the ordinary course of business or
otherwise, any Affiliate of any Guarantor (each such transaction, an “Affiliate Transaction”); provided that (A) New Member and its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into such transactions on terms no less favorable to New
Member or its Restricted Subsidiaries than if no such relationship existed and (B) if any single transaction or series of related transactions has an aggregate value in excess of $5,000,000, then New Member and its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter
into such transactions only upon delivery to the Beneficiary Representative on behalf of the Beneficiaries of an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such transaction complies with clause (A) above and that such transaction has been approved
by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions: (i) any employment agreement entered into by any of the Guarantors in the ordinary course of
business, (ii) payment of reasonable directors’ fees and payments in respect of indemnification obligations owing to directors, officers or other individuals under the charters or by-laws of the Guarantors or pursuant to written agreements with
any such Person, (iii) any tax distributions, provided such distributions are in accordance with the Newco LLC Agreement (as that term is defined in the Transaction Agreement), (iv) management, support, service and consulting arrangements with any
Affiliate of any Guarantor; provided that such payments pursuant to this clause (iv) shall not exceed $3 million in the aggregate per annum plus reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses and the satisfaction of any indemnification
obligations, in each case incurred in the performance of duties thereunder, 
  

 34 

 and that such payments shall not be made (but such expenses may be reimbursed and indemnity obligations satisfied) in any
period if the Interest Coverage Ratio of the Guarantors shall be less than 1.90 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such proposed payment and reimbursement as if made at the commencement of the period of four consecutive fiscal
quarters then most recently ended, (v) transactions between New Member and any of its wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiaries or between wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiaries of New Member, (vi) any Restricted Payment permitted under Section

otherwise dispose of any of their assets (other than the cash proceeds of any sale of Capital Stock of New Member that is permitted under clause (vii) of Section 11.05 and is consummated after the Closing Date) to any Unrestricted Subsidiary,
or undertake any transaction through which possession, use or control of any vessels subject to the Subcharter Agreement or the Bareboat Charters will be directly or indirectly transferred to any Unrestricted Subsidiary, or agree to any of the
foregoing; provided that any such Transfer not involving possession, use or control of any vessels subject to the Subcharter Agreement or the Bareboat Charters shall be permitted if (A) New Member provides 15 days’ advance notice to the
Beneficiaries of any such sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition, which notice shall describe such transaction in reasonable detail, (B) the Interest Coverage Ratio of the Guarantors shall not be less than 1.90 to 1.00 on a pro forma
basis after giving effect to such Transfer, (C) no Tier 1 Default or Tier 2 Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no Guarantor shall have Knowledge that any event or circumstance that constitutes a Tier 2 Default has occurred
and is continuing.

nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated in whole or in part except by an instrument in writing signed by the Guarantor Representative and the Beneficiary Representative, and any such amendment, waiver, discharge or
termination shall in no way impair the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder or the rights of any other party hereto in any other respect or at any other time and shall be binding on each Guarantor and each Beneficiary. 
  
 12.02. Assignments. Except (in the case of Transfers by a Guarantor)
as otherwise provided in Sections 11.01 and 11.02 with respect to certain permitted Transfers by Guarantors and except (in the case of Transfers by a Beneficiary) in connection with a transfer of all or substantially all assets of such
Beneficiary, neither the Guarantors nor the Beneficiaries may assign any of their respective rights or delegate any of their duties herein to any other Person without the express written consent of both the Guarantor Representative and the
Beneficiary Representative, which may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of such party. Any assignment by a party hereto without such written consent shall be void. 
  

 35

parties to the Operative Documents and the Beneficiaries until the final and indefeasible payment in full of all such obligations, whereupon any excess shall be returned to the Guarantors or to such other person as shall be entitled thereto.

  

 40 

 (b) Tier 2 Remedies. Each of the Guarantors agrees that, immediately upon the occurrence of any
Tier 2 Event of Default, and upon the written request of the Beneficiary Representative made after the occurrence and during the continuance of any such Tier 2 Event of Default (a “Tier 2 Default Notice”): 
  
 (1) if any of the vessels to which such Event of Default

the Beneficiaries may determine in their sole discretion (including, without limitation, as to the term of such subcharter (whether such term is greater (with any necessary consent of the relevant Owner Trustee) or lesser than the remaining then
existing Charter Period) and the amount of charter hire payable under such subcharter) to such person or entity as the Beneficiaries may determine in their sole discretion; and in the event the relevant Owner Trustee exercises any powers, rights or

in the name of the relevant Guarantor any documents requested by the relevant Owner Trustee to facilitate its repossession, chartering, or sale of, or any other remedy respecting, the relevant vessel under the relevant Charter Document(s);
provided, however, that (x) notwithstanding the breadth of the rights and powers afforded the Beneficiaries hereinabove in this Section 14.02(b)(2), the Beneficiaries agree that they shall exercise the rights and powers
hereinabove afforded in a commercially reasonable manner and (y) the Beneficiaries agree to apply any proceeds of the exercise of the rights and powers provided Beneficiaries hereinabove in this Section 14.02(b)(2) as follows: first,

payment in full of all such obligations, whereupon any excess shall be returned to the Guarantors or to such other person as shall be entitled thereto; 
  
 provided, however, that remedies available under this Section 14.02(b) in respect of a Tier 2 Default arising under Section 14.01(b)(4) shall

right to seek specific performance. 
  
 (d) Rights
Cumulative. Each right, power and remedy conferred upon the Beneficiaries herein is cumulative and in addition to every other right, power or remedy, express or implied, now or hereafter provided by law or in equity, and each and every right,
power and remedy herein set forth or otherwise so existing may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient to the Beneficiaries. The exercise of one right, power or remedy
shall not be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy; and no delay or omission of the Beneficiaries in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing hereunder or arising otherwise shall
impair any such right, power or remedy, or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or acquiescence therein. Enumeration of special rights or powers herein shall not be construed to limit any grant of general rights or powers
herein or to limit the Beneficiaries’ exercise of any and all rights granted under the laws of the State of New York or the United States of America. No act of the Beneficiaries shall be construed as an election to proceed under any provision
herein to the exclusion of any other provision herein. Except as otherwise specifically required herein, notice of the exercise of any right, remedy or power granted to the Beneficiaries by this Guarantee is not required to be given. 
  
 (e) Safe Harbor. A vessel that has been purchased by Guarantors from
the owner thereof or re-leased after termination of the initial Chartered Vessel Bareboat Charter, in each case in a transaction complying with all applicable provisions of this Agreement in which all liabilities under the Operative Documents
relating to such vessel have been fully satisfied or if each Beneficiary has been released in writing from any obligations under such Operative Documents, shall thereafter not be subject to Beneficiaries’ remedies hereunder other than for Tier
1 Defaults and Tier 2 Defaults arising prior to such purchase or re-lease. 
  
 SECTION 15. Severability. 
  
 Any provision of
this Guarantee that may be determined by competent authority to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective 
  

 42 

 to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and the
Guarantors and the Beneficiaries shall negotiate in good faith to replace such prohibited or unenforceable provision by a provision that is not prohibited or unenforceable and has substantially the same effect and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantors hereby waive any provision of law that renders any provision hereof
prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

 16.01. Governing Law. This Guarantee shall in all

final and unappealable judgment against any of them in any action or proceeding contemplated above will be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction within or outside the United States by suit on the judgment, a certified or
exemplified copy of which will be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such judgment. 
  
 (b) By the execution and delivery of this Guarantee, each party hereto (i) irrevocably designates and appoints The Corporation Trust Company (“CTC”) in care of CT Corporation System at its offices in
the City of New York, County of New York, State of New York, as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guarantee; (ii) submits to the personal jurisdiction of and consents

breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Guarantee and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state

continuing they will not agree to amend, modify, waive, supplement, extend, renew or restate the terms of any Charter Document to which they are a party without the prior written consent of the Guarantor Representative, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld if the proposed modifications are not adverse to the Guarantors. 
  
 (b) CSX and each other Beneficiary that is a party to any Charter Document covenant to the Guarantors that they shall timely and fully perform in all material respects each and every covenant, term and condition of
each such agreement to which they are a party except to the extent that such failure to timely and fully perform such covenant is a result of any breach by a Guarantor of any of its duties or obligations under this Guarantee, the Subcharter
Agreement, the Charter Override Agreement or any other Charter Document.

 2

such Owner Trustee in the exercise of such powers, rights or remedies, including but not limited to by executing and delivering in the name of the Charterer Guarantor any documents requested by the relevant Owner Trustee to facilitate its
