 INTERNATIONAL LETTER OF CREDIT AGREEMENT 

This International Letter of Credit Agreement is entered into as of September 29, 2006 among GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK
CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, the Guarantors from time to time party hereto and WELLS FARGO HSBC TRADE BANK, N.A. (together with its successors and assigns, the “Bank”). 

The Borrower has requested that the Bank provide an international letter of credit facility, and the Bank is willing to do so on and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. 
 In consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties
hereto covenant and agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I. 

CERTAIN DEFINITIONS AND OTHER INTERPRETIVE PROVISIONS. 

1.1 Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them
in Exhibit A to this Agreement. 
 1.2 Other Interpretive Provisions. With reference to this Agreement and
each other International Loan Document, unless otherwise specified herein or in such other International Loan Document: 

(a) The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever
the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the
phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” Unless the context requires otherwise, (i) any definition of or reference to
any agreement, instrument or other document (including any Organization Document) shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to
any restrictions on such amendments, restatements, supplements or modifications set forth herein or in any other International Loan Document), (ii) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors
and assigns, (iii) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in any International Loan Document, shall be construed to refer to such International Loan
Document in its entirety and not to any particular provision thereof, (iv) all references in an International Loan Document to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and
Schedules to, the International Loan Document in which such references appear, (v) any reference to any law shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing or interpreting such law and any reference to
any law or regulation shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to such law or regulation as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, and (vi) the words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to
have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights. 

 (b) In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later
specified date, the word “from” means “from and including;” the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding;” and the word “through” means
“to and including.” 
 (c) Section headings herein and in the other International Loan Documents
are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement or any other International Loan Document. 

1.3 Accounting Terms. 

(a) All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP. The Borrower shall
maintain a system of accounting established and administered in accordance with sound business practices to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP (except as may be otherwise required pursuant to
Section 1.3(b)), and each of the financial statements described below shall be prepared from such system and records. 

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, if any changes in accounting principles from those used in the preparation of the
most recent financial statements referred to in Section 8.1 are hereafter required or permitted by the rules, regulations, pronouncements and opinions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants (or successors thereto or agencies with similar functions) and are adopted by the Borrower with the agreement of its independent certified public accountants and such changes result in a change in the method of calculation of any
of the financial covenants, standards or terms found in Section 9.5 or in the related definitions of terms used therein, the parties hereto agree, subject to Section 11.15, to enter into negotiations in order to amend such
provisions so as to reflect equitably such changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been made, provided that,
subject to Section 11.15, no change in GAAP that would affect the method of calculation of any of the financial covenants, standards or terms shall be given effect in such calculations until such provisions are amended, in a manner
satisfactory to the Bank, so as to reflect such change in accounting principles. 
 1.4 Times of Day. Unless otherwise
specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Central time (daylight or standard, as applicable). 

ARTICLE II. 

LETTERS OF CREDIT. 

2.1 Commitment. 

(a) Upon the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Bank agrees to
issue standby Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower up to an aggregate face amount not exceeding at any one time outstanding the lesser of (i) $20,000,000.00 (such amount, as it may be reduced from time to time pursuant to
Section 3.6, being the Bank’s “Commitment”) or (ii) the International Borrowing Base. 
  

 -2- 

 (b) The Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Bank, to evidence its
reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit, a Note which shall be (i) dated of even date herewith; (ii) in the principal amount of the Commitment; and (iii) in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B, with the blanks appropriately completed. 
 2.2 International Borrowing Base. 

(a) As soon as available, and in any event by 11 a.m. (Central time) each Wednesday (or, if Wednesday is not a Business
Day, then on the following Business Day), the Borrower shall furnish the Bank an international borrowing base detailed scheduled report in the form of Exhibit C, which is dated as of the last Business Day of the previous calendar week (the
“Weekly International Borrowing Base Certificate”); provided, however, in order to receive Credit Accommodations hereunder, the Borrower shall have delivered a Weekly International Borrowing Base Certificate at least
within the past seven (7) calendar days. The Bank may, on demand, inspect the documentation supporting any Weekly International Borrowing Base Certificate. With respect to the Weekly International Borrowing Base Certificate delivered for the
fourth week of every calendar month, such Weekly International Borrowing Base Certificate shall include (i) a list of the Eligible Export-Related Accounts Receivable and (ii) a list of Export Orders that are included in the International
Borrowing Base, as at the end of the preceding month, such list to be in such form and containing such information and detail as the Bank may reasonably request, and as is satisfactory to the Bank, to comply with the requirements of the Ex-Im Bank
Guaranty, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as to Eligible Export-Related Accounts Receivable, aging thereof in the customary manner. The inclusion of any receivable in the Weekly International Borrowing Base Certificate
shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that such receivable is an Eligible Export-Related Accounts Receivable. 

(b) Two Business Days after the receipt of any such Weekly International Borrowing Base Certificate (unless the Bank prior
to such date has notified the Borrower in writing of its determination of a different International Borrowing Base) the International Borrowing Base amount stated in any such Weekly International Borrowing Base Certificate shall automatically be
deemed the International Borrowing Base amount until the earlier of (i) the date of the next determination or (ii) the date the Bank notifies the Borrower in writing of its determination of a different International Borrowing Base and the
basis for such determination. The date of any such notification (if any) by the Bank is herein called a “Determination Date” and any increase or reduction in the International Borrowing Base by the Bank shall be effective as of such
date. Each determination of the International Borrowing Base shall be made by the Bank in its reasonable business judgment, based on the most recent Weekly International Borrowing Base Certificate furnished by the Borrower and other information
available to the Bank. 
  

 -3- 

 2.3 Letters of Credit. 

(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, including, without limitation, the applicable terms and
conditions set forth in Article VII hereof, the Bank agrees that it will, following its receipt of a Letter of Credit Request, issue or cause to be issued for the account of the Borrower one or more irrevocable standby letters of credit
which can be drawn down by a Buyer only if the Borrower, any Guarantor or an Eligible Joint Venture fails to perform any of its obligations under an Export Order (each a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, the
“Letters of Credit”); provided that the Bank shall be under no obligation to issue or cause to be issued any Letter of Credit if at the time of such issuance: 

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or
restrain the Bank or Wells Fargo from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law applicable to the Bank or Wells Fargo or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with
jurisdiction over the Bank or Wells Fargo shall prohibit, or request that the Bank or Wells Fargo refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally; or 

(ii) subject to any Cover requirements set forth in Section 10.3 of this Agreement, (x) 25% of the Stated
Amount of such Letter of Credit plus (y) 25% of the aggregate Stated Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit plus (z) 100% of the aggregate Unpaid Drawings then outstanding (after giving effect to all Unpaid Drawings reimbursed prior
to or concurrently with the issuance of such Letter of Credit) exceeds the International Borrowing Base then in effect; or 

(iii) if the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus all Letter of Credit Outstandings (after giving effect to all
Unpaid Drawings reimbursed prior to or concurrently with the issuance of such Letter of Credit) exceeds the Commitment; or 

(iv) unless the Bank and Ex-Im Bank shall give their prior written consent in their sole discretion, the expiry date of
such Letter of Credit is later than 12 months from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided however, the Bank may issue or cause to be issued the Diyaar Project Letter of Credit so long as the Diyaar Project Letter of Credit
shall have an expiry date of not later than the lesser of (a) 27 months from the date of issuance of such Diyaar Project Letter of Credit and (b) the number of months from Closing Date to the Final Disbursement Date. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Bank may not issue or cause to be issued during the final sixty
(60) days of the term of this Agreement any Letters of Credit which expire after the Maturity Date unless the Bank either has decided to renew this Agreement or has obtained the prior written approval of Ex-Im Bank and (ii) any Letter of
Credit that shall have an expiration date after the Maturity Date shall be subject to Cover, such Cover to be delivered to the Bank thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date. 

 

 -4- 

 (c) The Borrower acknowledges that the Bank will be liable to Wells Fargo
for reimbursement of any and all draws under Letters of Credit issued by Wells Fargo and for all other amounts required to be paid under the applicable Application and the Standby Letter of Credit Agreement. Accordingly, the Borrower agrees to pay
to the Bank any and all amounts required to be paid under the applicable Application and the Standby Letter of Credit Agreement, when and as required to be paid thereby. 

(d) From and after the Initial Date, all Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto,
and shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof. 
 2.4 Letter of Credit Requests. 

(a) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account or that an existing expiry date shall
be extended, the Borrower shall deliver to the Bank its prior written request therefore not later than 12:00 noon (Central time) on at least the second Business Day prior to the requested issuance or extension date, as the case may be. Each
such request shall be in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto executed by the Borrower or such other form (including electronic requests) satisfactory to the Bank and Wells Fargo in their sole discretion (together with the Application,
a “Letter of Credit Request”) and, in the case of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, shall be accompanied by an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Bank and Wells Fargo, and such other certificates,
documents and other papers and information as the Bank and Wells Fargo may reasonably request. Each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars or in an Approved Currency, shall expire no later than the date specified in
Section 2.3, shall not be in an amount greater than is permitted under Section 2.3(a) and shall be in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Bank, Wells Fargo and the Borrower. 

(b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that
such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of Section 2.3(a) and Article VII of this Agreement. Upon its issuance of any Letter of Credit or the extension of the existing
expiry date of any Letter of Credit, as the case may be, the Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower of such issuance or extension, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the Letter of Credit actually issued or a copy of any amendment
extending the existing expiry date of any Letter of Credit, as the case may be. 
 2.5 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit
Drawings. 
 (a) Upon the receipt by the Bank of notice of any Drawing from a beneficiary under a Letter of
Credit, the Bank promptly will provide the Borrower with telecopy notice thereof. The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the Bank by making payment to the Bank in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment made by the Bank
under any Letter of Credit issued by it or Wells Fargo (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”) on the date of such payment, provided that if the Borrower shall have received notice of any Drawing
later than 11:00 a.m. (Central 
  

 -5- 

 
time) on any Business Day, then the Borrower shall make such payment not later than 11:00 a.m. (Central time) on the immediately following Business Day, together with interest on the amount so
paid by the Bank at the rate specified herein, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 2:00 p.m. (Central time) on the date of such payment, from and including the date paid but excluding the date reimbursement is made as provided above, such interest
to be payable ON DEMAND. 
 (b) The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.5 to reimburse
the Bank with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances (except as provided below with respect to the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct
of the Bank or Wells Fargo) and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the Bank or Wells Fargo, including any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of
Credit (each a “Drawing”) to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit (other than a defense based upon the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Bank or Wells Fargo in determining whether such Drawing conforms
to the terms of the Letter of Credit) or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing, including any of the following circumstances: 

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other International Loan Documents; 

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against a
beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Bank, Wells Fargo, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit,
the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or any other Person and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit); 

(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent,
invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the
International Loan Documents; 
 (v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; or 

(vi) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower;

 provided that none of the foregoing is attributable to the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the
Bank or Wells Fargo. 
  

 -6- 

 (c) The Borrower also agrees with the Bank that, in the absence of gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Bank or Wells Fargo, the Bank shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations under Section 2.5(a) shall not be affected by, among other things, the
validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between the Borrower or any other Person and the beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower or any other Person against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. 

(d) Neither the Bank nor Wells Fargo shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission,
dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by the Bank’s or Wells Fargo’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The
Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Bank or Wells Fargo under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct and in
accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1994 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce, Publication No. 500 (and any subsequent revisions thereof approved by a Congress of
the International Chamber of Commerce and adhered to by the Bank) and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall not result in any liability of the Bank or Wells Fargo to the Borrower or
any other Person. IT IS THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT NEITHER THE BANK NOR WELLS FARGO SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY UNDER THIS SECTION 2.5 FOR THE ORDINARY SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF THE BANK OR WELLS FARGO. 

2.6 Conflict Between Applications and Agreement. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of
Credit or any provision of the Standby Letter of Credit Agreement is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. 

2.7 Increased Costs; Increased Capital. 

(a) If the Bank determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or
other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the Closing Date affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Bank or any corporation controlling the Bank and that the
amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of the Bank’s Commitment hereunder and other commitments of this type, then, within fifteen (15) Business Days after written demand by the Bank, the Borrower shall pay to
the Bank, from time to time as specified by the Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Bank or such corporation for such increase. A certificate as to such amounts, showing a calculation of such amounts in reasonable detail, submitted
to the Borrower by the Bank shall be presumptive evidence of such amounts. 
  

 -7- 

 (b) Anything in this Section notwithstanding: (i) the Borrower shall
not be required to pay to the Bank reimbursement or indemnification with regard to any costs or expenses described in this Section, unless the Bank notifies the Borrower in writing of such costs or expenses within ninety (90) days after the
date the Bank obtained knowledge of the circumstances that would cause the Borrower to pay such additional amounts; and (ii) the Bank shall not be permitted to pass through to the Borrower charges and costs under this Section on a
discriminatory basis (i.e., which are not also passed through by the Bank to other customers of the Bank similarly situated where such customer is subject to documents providing for such pass through). 

2.8 Default Rate. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary if any Unpaid Drawing is not paid when due, all
outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, which interest shall be due and payable ON DEMAND. 

2.9 Facility Subject to Ex-Im Bank Rules. The Borrower acknowledges that the Bank is willing to make its Commitment available to
the Borrower because Ex-Im Bank is willing to guaranty payment of a significant portion of the Obligations pursuant to the Ex-Im Bank Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event of any inconsistency among the International Loan Documents and the Ex-Im Bank
Guaranty, the Borrower Agreement, the Fast Track Agreement, the Fast Track Borrower Supplement and the rules and regulations of Ex-Im Bank governing the Working Capital Guaranty Program, the provision that is the more stringent on the Borrower shall
control and compliance with any such applicable rule or regulation shall constitute an additional covenant of the Borrower incorporated herein by reference; provided, however, that the following provisions shall be deemed to be waived
by the terms of this Agreement: (1) Fast Track Lender Agreement Section 2(e)(ii)(a) with respect to the requirement that the Borrower provide the Bank with a Lien on the domestic revolving loan collateral under the Domestic Credit
Agreement; (2) Section 1.01 of the Borrower Agreement and the Ex-Im Bank Guaranty with respect to the definition of Eligible Export-Related Accounts Receivable regarding (i) Accounts Receivable owned by the Eligible Joint Ventures
being included in the definition of Eligible Export-Related Accounts Receivable and (ii) affiliate receivables being included in the definition of Eligible Export-Related Accounts Receivable; (3) Section 4.12(b) of the Ex-Im Bank
Guaranty with respect to the length of the term of certain letters of credit longer than 12 months; (4) Section 4.02 of the Ex-Im Bank Guaranty, as amended by the Fast Track Lender Agreement, with respect to the requirement that the Bank
perfect its security interest in Export-Related Inventory; (5) Section 4.02(a) of the Ex-Im Bank Guaranty, as amended by the Fast Track Lender Agreement, with respect to the collateral securing the Domestic Credit Agreement that will not
secure the Obligations; (6) Section 7 of the Fast Track Agreement, Section 2.07(c) of the Borrower Agreement, as amended by the Fast Track Borrower Supplement and Section 2.08(a) of the Borrower Agreement, as amended by the Fast
Track Borrower Supplement with respect to the payment of all funds received in payment of the Excluded Export-Related Accounts Receivable into a lockbox and/or the Cash Collateral Account; (7) Section 2.19 of the Borrower Agreement with
respect to naming the Bank as loss payee or mortgagee on its property insurance; and (8) Section 2.22 of the Borrower Agreement with respect to the consummation of the Aldabra Transactions. The Borrower and the Bank hereby acknowledge that
Holdings and the Persons that own 20% or more of the ownership of Holdings are controlled by venture capital 
  

 -8- 

 
firms, private equity firms or other investment groups and are therefore not required to guaranty this Agreement. 

2.10 Currency Equivalents. For all purposes of this Agreement, (i) the equivalent in Dollars of any Approved Currency shall
be determined by using the quoted spot rate at which Wells Fargo offers to exchange Dollars for such Approved Currency two Business Days prior to the date on which such equivalent is to be determined and (ii) the equivalent in any Approved
Currency of Dollars shall be determined by using the quoted spot rate at which Wells Fargo offers to exchange such Approved Currency for Dollars two Business Days prior to the date on which such equivalent is to be determined. The equivalent in
Dollars of each Letter of Credit made in an Approved Currency shall be recalculated hereunder on each date that it shall be necessary or desirable by any party to determine the amount of the Commitment, the Unpaid Drawings, the Letter of Credit
Obligations, the Letter of Credit Outstandings, the Obligations or the face amount of any Letter of Credit on such date. 

ARTICLE III. 

CASH COLLATERAL, PREPAYMENTS AND OTHER PAYMENTS. 

3.1 Deposit of Cash Collateral and Required Prepayments. 

(a) The Borrower agrees that if at any time the Borrower or the Bank determines that (x) 25% of the aggregate Stated
Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit plus (z) 100% of the aggregate Unpaid Drawings then outstanding exceeds the International Borrowing Base, the Borrower will, within five Business Days after request from the Bank or actual
knowledge thereof, (i) deliver to the Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to such excess, which shall be held by the Bank to the extent and until such excess is eliminated or (ii) furnish additional security to the Bank, in form and
amount satisfactory to the Bank and Ex-Im Bank. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees that if at any time the aggregate
principal amount of the Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the amount of the Commitment, the Borrower shall immediately deliver to the Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to such excess, which, subject to Section 3.1(c) below,
shall be held by the Bank to the extent and until such excess is eliminated. 
 (c) Cash collateral provided to
the Bank pursuant to Section 3.1(a) and (b) above shall be first applied by the Bank to the Unpaid Drawings, if any, and the remainder to be held by the Bank in a collateral account.

 3.4 Prepayment Premium or Penalty. Each prepayment pursuant to
Section 3.1 shall be without premium or penalty. 
 3.5 Taxes. Unless required by law, all payments (whether

impost or any other charge, if any, of any nature whatsoever now or hereafter imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding taxes imposed on or measured by the Bank’s net income (including branch profits taxes) and franchise taxes imposed on
the Bank (each non-excluded tax, levy, impost or charge, a “Tax”). If the making of such payments is prohibited by law unless such Tax is deducted or withheld therefrom, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank, on the date of each such
payment, such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Bank after such deduction or withholding shall equal the amounts which would have been received if such deduction or withholding were not required,
provided that the Borrower shall be required to pay such additional amounts only if (A) such withholding Tax is imposed as a result of a change in law after the Closing Date (or, in the case of a transferee of the Bank, if such
withholding Tax is imposed as a result of a change in law after the date the transferee became a party hereto) and (B) such withholding Tax is not imposed as a result of the failure of the Bank (or any transferee of the Bank) to provide such
properly completed and duly executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding, but only to the extent the Bank (or such transferee) is legally
permitted to provide such documentation. 
 3.6 Reduction or Termination of the Commitment. The Borrower may at any time
or from time to time reduce or terminate the Commitment by giving written notice thereof no later than 2:00 p.m. (Central time) not less than two (2) Business Days’ prior to such reduction or termination. Any reduction in the

the Maturity Date of the Note. Each reduction of the Commitment hereunder shall be irrevocable. 
 ARTICLE IV. 

FEES. 
 4.1
Facility Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Bank on the Closing Date, and on each Loan Facility Anniversary Date, a non-refundable facility fee in an amount equal to the product of (x) the Commitment and (y) the Annual Facility Fee

payable on the Closing Date shall be in the amount of $200,000. 
 4.2 Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay
the Bank a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower (the “Letter of Credit Fee”), in an amount equal to the greater of (i) $750 or (ii) an amount computed at the applicable rate for
standby letters of credit in the Domestic Credit Agreement set forth in Section 3.3(a) thereof minus 0.25%. Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day
following the end of each Fiscal Quarter. Fees due under this 
  

 -10- 

 
Section 4.2 shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank or Wells Fargo, as applicable, solely for its own account as issuer
of Letters of Credit, any applicable amendment, transfer, negotiation and other fees as determined in accordance with the Bank’s or Wells Fargo’s then current fee policy. 

4.3 Fees Not Interest; Nonpayment. The fees described in this Agreement represent compensation for services rendered and to be
rendered separate and apart from the lending of money or the provision of credit and do not constitute compensation for the use, detention or forbearance of money, and the obligation of the Borrower to pay each fee described herein shall be in
addition to, and not in lieu of, the obligation of the Borrower to pay interest, other fees described in this Agreement, and expenses otherwise described in this Agreement. Fees shall be payable when due in Dollars and in immediately available
funds. All fees shall be non-refundable, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, bear interest, if not paid within five (5) Business Days of when due, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. 

ARTICLE V. 

PERMITTED PURPOSES OF LETTERS OF CREDIT 

The Borrower agrees that the Letters of Credit shall be issued solely to support one or more of the Borrower’s, any Guarantor’s
or any Eligible Joint Venture’s obligations under an Export Order. No Letter of Credit may be a Warranty Letter of Credit; provided, however, a performance Letter of Credit that converts to a Warranty Letter of Credit at the
end of the performance period may be issued so long as the Bank’s liability thereunder and therefor is eliminated (in a manner satisfactory to the Bank in its sole discretion) not later than the date when the warranty period commences.

 ARTICLE VI. 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

Properties and to carry on its business as now conducted; and (c) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify or be in good standing could reasonably be expected to have a

to the Closing Date, the Borrower has had a positive tangible net worth, as determined in accordance with GAAP. For the purpose of this determination, net worth (as determined in accordance with GAAP) must be (i) increased by any Debt of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries subordinated to the indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement and (ii) decreased by all intangible assets (including, without limitation, all patents, licenses, goodwill, subscription lists, capitalized software,

proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, overtly threatened against or involving the Borrower or any Subsidiary before any court, administrative agency or arbitrator the results of which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Other than any liability incident to the actions or proceedings disclosed on Schedule 6.3, or provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 6.2, as of the Closing Date, none
of the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries has any contingent liabilities which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Persons is a party or by which any of their respective properties or assets is bound or affected, which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) in default under or in violation of the provisions of any
Governmental Requirement (except where such default or violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect) or (iii) in default in any material respect with any material provisions of any Export Order (which is included
in the International Borrowing Base), which has not been waived by the applicable party thereto. No Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing. 

6.5 Title to Assets; Ownership.

shares of Capital Stock of the Borrower and all such shares are validly issued, fully paid and non assessable. As of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding warrants, options, contracts or commitments of any kind entitling any Person to purchase
or otherwise acquire (i) any shares of the Capital Stock of the Borrower or (ii) any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of such Capital Stock. As of the Closing Date, no securities are outstanding which are
convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of Capital

6.6 Authorization, Validity, Etc. It has the power and authority to make, execute, deliver and carry out the International Loan
Documents to which it is a party and the transactions contemplated therein and to perform its obligations thereunder and all such action has been duly authorized by all necessary proceedings on its part. The International Loan Documents to which any
Loan Party is a party have been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Loan Party and constitute valid and legally binding obligations of such Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their respective terms, except
as limited by Debtor Laws. The Liens created by the International Security Documents will constitute valid and perfected Liens on the Collateral described therein superior in right to all other Liens, except for Permitted Liens. 

6.7 Intentionally Omitted. 

6.8 Taxes. The Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed, or has caused to be timely filed, all tax returns and reports
required by applicable law, has timely paid, or has caused to be timely paid, all applicable taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owing by Borrower and each such Subsidiary and will timely pay, or cause to be timely paid, all such items in
the future as they became due and payable. The Borrower or any Subsidiary may, however, defer payment of any contested taxes; provided, that Borrower or such Subsidiary (a) in good faith contests Borrower’s obligation to pay such
taxes by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted; (b) notifies the Bank in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings; (c) posts bonds or takes any other steps required
to keep the contested taxes from becoming a Lien upon any of the Collateral; and (d) maintains adequate reserves therefore in conformity with GAAP. The Borrower is not aware of any proposed tax assessment by any taxing authority or of any
claims by any Governmental Authority for any unpaid taxes which could reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, in each case except liabilities contested in good faith or for which adequate reserves have been provided.

imposition of any Lien on any of the Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than Liens created under the International Loan Documents and, in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of any Export Order, Permitted Liens)
pursuant to, (a) the Organization Documents of such Person; (b) any Governmental Requirement; or (c) the terms, conditions or provisions of any material contract to which such Person is a party or by which it is bound or to which it
is subject.

connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, any Export Order included in the International Borrowing Base or any Weekly International Borrowing Base Certificate) contains any
statement of material fact which is untrue or incorrect in any material respect or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein and therein not misleading in any material respect in light of the
circumstances under which such information was provided as of the time when delivered. As of the Closing Date, there is no fact currently known to any Loan Party which now or in the future could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse

 10.2 Other Remedies. In addition to and cumulative of any rights or remedies
expressly provided for in this Article X, if any one or more Events of Default shall have occurred (other than an Exit Date Event of Default), the Bank may proceed to protect and enforce its rights hereunder by any appropriate
proceedings and the Liens evidenced by the International Security Documents shall be subject to foreclosure in any manner provided for therein or provided for by law as the Bank may elect. The Bank may also proceed either by the specific performance
of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or the other International Loan Documents or by enforcing the payment of the Obligations provided under this Agreement or the other International Loan Documents or otherwise existing under any
law. The Bank shall not, however, be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or against or in payment of any or all obligations under any International Loan Document. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than
an Exit Date Event of Default), it is hereby acknowledged and agreed Ex-Im Bank shall have the right to (a) direct the Bank to make demand hereunder and under the other International Loan Documents and (b) request that the Bank declare all
outstanding Obligations, to be forthwith due and payable, and the Bank shall have no liability to the Borrower for complying with such directions or requirements. 

10.3 Collateral Account. The Borrower hereby agrees that in the event of (a) the occurrence of the Maturity Date,
(b) the termination of the Commitment or (c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Exit Date Event of Default), it shall, if requested by the Bank in writing, provide to the Bank Cover equal
to 100% of the then aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Outstandings, which Cover shall be held by the Bank in a collateral account to be maintained by the Bank. The Borrower hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Bank such security
agreements, pledges or other documents as the Bank may, from time to time, require to perfect the pledge, lien and security interest in and to any such funds provided for in this Section 10.3. Upon the payment or expiry of all Letter of
Credit Outstandings, all such Collateral shall be promptly released to the Borrower in due course at Borrower’s cost. 

10.4 Exit Date Event of Default. On the date that is thirty (30) days after the date that Wells Fargo notifies the Borrower
that it is assigning its interests in the Domestic Credit Agreement to a Person other than Wells Fargo, an Affiliate of Wells Fargo or an Affiliate of the Bank and an Exit Date has occurred during such thirty day period, then an Exit Date Event of
Default shall be deemed to have occurred and the Commitment of the Bank and the obligation of the Bank to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder shall (unless Ex-Im Bank shall have consented to the issuance of additional Letters of
Credit) automatically be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate and no additional Letters of Credit shall be issued without Ex-Im Bank’s written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the only Event of Default
that has occurred and is continuing is an Exit Date Event of Default, then the Bank and the Secured Party (as defined in the International Security Agreement) shall not have the right to exercise any right or remedy (other than those rights and
remedies set forth in this Section 10.4) that may only be exercised upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. 

10.5 Remedies Cumulative. No remedy, right or power conferred upon the Bank is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, right
or power given hereunder or now or hereafter 
  

 -31- 

 
existing at law, in equity, or otherwise, and all such remedies, rights and powers shall be cumulative. 

ARTICLE XI. 

MISCELLANEOUS. 

11.1 Waivers, Amendments. No failure or delay on the part of the Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as
a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right
or power. No course of dealing between the Borrower or any Subsidiary of such Borrower, any Guarantor and the Bank shall operate as a waiver of any right of the Bank or Ex-Im Bank. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, the Note or any other International Loan Document nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be (i) approved by Ex-Im Bank and (ii) in writing signed by all the
parties thereto, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Except as otherwise provided by any International Loan Document or applicable law, no notice to or demand on the
Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 

11.2 Reimbursement of Expenses. WHETHER OR NOT THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSUMMATED, THE BORROWER
AGREES TO REIMBURSE THE BANK FOR ITS REASONABLE OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES, INCLUDING THE REASONABLE FEES AND EXPENSES OF OUTSIDE COUNSEL TO THE BANK, IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH TRANSACTIONS, OR ANY OF THEM, OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT
OR ANY OTHER INTERNATIONAL LOAN DOCUMENT, INCLUDING (A) THE NEGOTIATION, PREPARATION, EXECUTION, ADMINISTRATION, MODIFICATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INTERNATIONAL LOAN DOCUMENT, AND (B) REASONABLE OUT-OF-POCKET
COSTS AND EXPENSES OF THE BANK IN CONNECTION WITH DUE DILIGENCE, TRANSPORTATION AND DUPLICATION. THE BORROWER AGREES TO PAY ANY AND ALL STAMP, DOCUMENTARY AND OTHER SIMILAR TAXES WHICH MAY BE PAYABLE OR DETERMINED TO BE PAYABLE IN CONNECTION WITH
THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR ANY OTHER INTERNATIONAL LOAN DOCUMENT, AND TO SAVE THE BANK HARMLESS FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES WITH RESPECT TO OR RESULTING FROM ANY DELAY OR OMISSION TO PAY ANY SUCH TAXES. THE
OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER UNDER THIS SECTION 11.2 SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR THE PAYMENT OF THE OBLIGATIONS.

YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). 
 11.5 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. All representations,
warranties and covenants contained herein or made in writing by the Borrower and the Guarantors in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Note, and will bind and inure to the benefit of the respective
successors and assigns of the parties hereto, whether so expressed or not. No investigation at any time made by or on behalf of the Bank shall diminish the Bank’s right to rely thereon. 

11.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and by the parties hereto on separate counterparts, and
each counterpart, when so executed and delivered, shall constitute an original instrument, and all such separate counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. 

11.7 Separability. Should any clause, sentence, paragraph or Section of this Agreement be judicially declared to be invalid,
unenforceable or void, such decision shall not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of this Agreement, and the parties hereto agree that the part or parts of this Agreement so held to be invalid, unenforceable or void will be

  

 -33- 

 
deemed to have been stricken herefrom and the remainder will have the same force and effectiveness as if such part or parts had never been included herein. 

11.8 Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by the Borrower or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys,
or agents of the Borrower against the Bank or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys, or agents of the Bank for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract arising out of
or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission, or event occurring in connection herewith; and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not
accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. 
 11.9 Set-off. If an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Borrower hereby gives and confirms to the Bank a right of set-off of all moneys, securities and other property of the Borrower (whether special, general or limited) and the proceeds thereof, now or hereafter delivered to
remain with or in transit in any manner to the Bank, its correspondents or its agents from or for the Borrower, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise or coming into possession of the Bank in any way, and
also, any balance of any deposit accounts and credits of the Borrower with, and any and all claims of security for the payment of the Obligations, and the Borrower hereby authorize the Bank at any time or times, without prior notice, to apply such
money, securities, other property, proceeds, balances, credits of claims, or any part of the foregoing, to such Obligations in such amounts as it may select, whether such liabilities be contingent, unmatured or otherwise, and whether any collateral
security therefor is deemed adequate or not. The rights described herein shall be in addition to any collateral security described in any separate agreement executed by the Borrower. 

11.10 Sale or Assignment. The Bank may assign its rights hereunder and under each other International Loan Document and the Liens
granted pursuant to the International Security Documents only to Ex-Im Bank in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Ex-Im Bank Guaranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank may assign, transfer, negotiate, sell or participate all or
part of its interests and rights in the Letters of Credit to an Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Bank, provided that the Bank retains all obligations under the Ex-Im Bank Guaranty with respect to Ex-Im Bank and the International Loan Documents.

 11.11 Interest. All agreements between the Borrower, any Guarantor and the Bank, whether now existing or hereafter
arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand being made on the Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to the Bank for the use,
forbearance, or detention of the money to be loaned under this Agreement or otherwise or for the payment or performance of any covenant or obligation contained herein or in any other International Loan Document exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If, as
a result of any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any of such documents, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by applicable usury law,
then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if, from any such circumstance, the Bank shall ever receive interest or anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law which would
exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied 
  

 -34- 

 
to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Obligations or the amounts owing on other obligations of the Borrower or any Guarantor to the Bank under any International Loan
Document and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations and the amounts owing on other obligations of the Borrower and any Guarantor to the Bank under any International Loan
Document, as the case may be, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Bank for the use, forbearance, or detention of the indebtedness of the Borrower and the
Guarantors to the Bank shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full of the principal thereof (including the period of any renewal
or extension thereof) so that the interest on account of such indebtedness shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the Note, it is understood and agreed that if at any time
the rate of interest which accrues on the outstanding Obligations shall exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, the rate of interest which accrues on the outstanding Obligations shall be limited to the Highest Lawful Rate, but any subsequent reductions in
the rate of interest which accrues on the outstanding Obligations shall not reduce the rate of interest which accrues on the outstanding Obligations below the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest accrued on the outstanding
Obligations equals the amount of interest which would have accrued if such interest rate had at all times been in effect. The terms and provisions of this Section 11.11 shall control and supersede every other provision of all agreements
between the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Bank. 
 11.12 Indemnification. EACH OF THE LOAN PARTIES AGREES TO
INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND SAVE HARMLESS THE BANK AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND ATTORNEYS, AND EACH OF THEM (THE “INDEMNIFIED PARTIES”), FROM AND AGAINST ALL CLAIMS, ACTIONS, SUITS, AND OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, DAMAGES,
COSTS, INTEREST, CHARGES, REASONABLE COUNSEL FEES, AND OTHER EXPENSES AND PENALTIES WHICH ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES MAY SUSTAIN OR INCUR BY REASON OF OR ARISING OUT OF (I) THE ISSUANCE OF ANY LETTER OF CREDIT HEREUNDER, THE EXECUTION AND
DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE AND THE OTHER INTERNATIONAL LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY AND THE EXERCISE AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE BANK’S RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE AND THE
OTHER INTERNATIONAL LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES INCURRED BY ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES IN INVESTIGATING, PREPARING FOR, DEFENDING AGAINST, OR PROVIDING EVIDENCE, PRODUCING DOCUMENTS,
OR TAKING ANY OTHER ACTION IN RESPECT OF ANY COMMENCED OR THREATENED LITIGATION UNDER ANY FEDERAL SECURITIES LAW OR ANY SIMILAR LAW OF ANY JURISDICTION OR AT COMMON LAW OR (II) ANY VIOLATIONS OF ANY LAW OR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE
TAKEN WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VIOLATION OF ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAW, OR IMPOSE ANY LIABILITY ON THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FOR DAMAGE TO HEALTH OR THE ENVIRONMENT; PROVIDED HOWEVER THAT NO INDEMNIFIED PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO THE BENEFITS
OF THIS SECTION 11.12 TO THE EXTENT OF ANY BAD FAITH, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT BY AN 
  

 -35- 

 
INDEMNIFIED PARTY. THIS AGREEMENT IS INTENDED TO PROTECT AND INDEMNIFY THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES AGAINST ALL RISKS HEREBY ASSUMED BY THE LOAN PARTIES. THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE LOAN PARTIES UNDER THIS
SECTION 11.12 SHALL SURVIVE ANY EXERCISE OF THE POWER OF SALE GRANTED IN ANY INTERNATIONAL SECURITY DOCUMENT TO WHICH ANY OF THE LOAN PARTIES ARE A PARTY, ANY FORECLOSURE OF THE LIENS CREATED BY ANY INTERNATIONAL SECURITY DOCUMENT TO WHICH
ANY OF THE LOAN PARTIES ARE A PARTY, OR CONVEYANCE IN LIEU OF FORECLOSURE, THE REPAYMENT OF THE OBLIGATIONS, THE DISCHARGE AND RELEASE OF ANY PERSON UNDER ANY INTERNATIONAL LOAN DOCUMENT AND ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. 

11.13 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Bank or the Bank enforces any
security interest or exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to
be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any Debtor Law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all rights and remedies therefor, shall be
revived and shall continue in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. 

11.14 Credit Agreement Controls. If there are any conflicts or inconsistencies between this Agreement and any of the other
International Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail and control. 
 11.15 Amendment of Financial
Covenants. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that any amendment to or waiver to the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.3 (or any comparable section) of the Domestic Credit Agreement or
any related term or definition used therein shall, subject to the prior written approval of Ex-Im Bank and Bank, automatically amend or waive the corresponding financial covenants set forth in Section 9.5 of this Agreement and any
related term or definition used therein in the same manner. Subject to the prior written approval of Ex-Im Bank, the Bank agrees to execute an amendment or waiver to this Agreement to document such automatic amendment or waiver of the financial
covenants and related terms and conditions. 
 11.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAWS, THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR INTERNATIONAL LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY INTERNATIONAL LOAN DOCUMENT AND AGREE THAT ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. 

11.17 USA Patriot Act Notice. The Bank hereby notifies Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, and the
Bank’s policies and practices, the Bank is required to obtain, verify and record certain information and documentation that identifies Borrower, 

 

 -36- 

 
which information includes the name and address of Borrower and such other information that will allow the Bank to identify Borrower in accordance with the USA Patriot Act. In addition, Borrower
shall (i) ensure that no Person who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower is or shall be listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List or other similar lists
maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the Department of the Treasury or included in any Executive Orders, (ii) not use or permit the use of the proceeds of the Loan to violate any of the foreign asset
control regulations of OFAC or any enabling statute or Executive Order relating thereto, and (iii) comply, and cause its Subsidiaries to comply, with all applicable laws. 

11.18 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the International Loan Documents. 

11.19 Final Agreement. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND THE INTERNATIONAL LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE

INTERNATIONAL REVOLVING NOTE 
  

			
	$20,000,000.00	  	September 29, 2006

 FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of WELLS FARGO HSBC TRADE BANK, N.A. (the “Bank”), on or before
December 31, 2008 (the “Maturity Date”), the principal sum of Twenty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00), or, if less, the aggregate principal amount of the Obligations outstanding on the Maturity Date, in accordance with the
terms and provisions of that certain Letter of Credit Agreement dated as of September 29, 2006 by and between the Borrower and the Bank (as amended from time to time, the “Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement). 
 The outstanding principal balance of this
Note shall be due and payable as provided in the Agreement. The Borrower promises to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of Obligations from and including the date of any Unpaid Drawing evidenced by this Note to but not including the
Maturity Date at the rate or rates, and shall be due and payable on the dates, set forth in the Agreement. Interest shall accrue and be payable at the Default Rate when provided for in the Agreement. 

Payments of principal and interest, and all amounts due with respect to costs and expenses, shall be made in lawful money of the United
States of America in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim to the Bank in accordance with Section 3.3 of the Agreement, on the dates on which such payments shall become due pursuant to the terms and provisions
set forth in the Agreement. 
 If any payment of principal or interest on this Note shall become due on a Saturday, Sunday, or
public holiday on which the Bank is not open for business, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing interest in connection with such payment. 

All payments and prepayments made hereon shall be recorded in the holder’s records and such records shall be controlling, absent
manifest error. 
 In addition to all principal and accrued interest on this Note, the Borrower agrees to pay (a) all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any owners and holders of this Note in collecting this Note through any probate, reorganization, bankruptcy or any other proceeding and (b) reasonable attorneys’ fees when and if this
Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection after default. 
 All agreements between the Borrower, any Guarantor
and the Bank, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand being made on this Note or

  

 1 

 
otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to the Bank for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money to be loaned under the Agreement and evidenced by this Note or otherwise or
for the payment or performance of any covenant or obligation contained in the Agreement, this Note or in any other International Loan Document exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If, as a result of any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any
provision hereof or of any of such documents, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by applicable usury law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be
reduced to the limit of such validity, and if, from any such circumstance, the Bank shall ever receive interest or anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law which would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, such amount which would be
excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Obligations or the amounts owing on other obligations of the Borrower and any Guarantor to the Bank under any International Loan Document and not to
the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations and the amounts owing on other obligations of the Borrower and any Guarantor the Bank under any International Loan Documents, as the case
may be, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Bank for the use, forbearance, or detention of the indebtedness of the Borrower and the Guarantors to the Bank shall,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full of the principal thereof (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that
the interest on account of such indebtedness shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement or this Note, it is understood and agreed that if at any time the rate of interest which
accrues on the outstanding Obligations shall exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, the rate of interest which accrues on the outstanding Obligations shall be limited to the Highest Lawful Rate, but any subsequent reductions in the rate of interest which
accrues on the outstanding Obligations shall not reduce the rate of interest which accrues on the outstanding Obligations below the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest accrued on the outstanding Obligations equals the amount of
interest which would have accrued if such interest rate had at all times been in effect. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other provision of all agreements between the Borrower, the Guarantors and the
Bank. 
 This Note is entitled to the benefits of the Agreement, which Agreement, among other things, contains provisions for
acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated events, for prepayments on account of principal hereof prior to the maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions and with the effect therein specified, and provisions to the
effect that no provision of the Agreement or this Note shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate. The obligations of the Borrower hereunder are secured by the International Security
Documents. It is contemplated that by reason of prepayments or repayments hereon prior to the Maturity Date, there may be times when no indebtedness is owing hereunder prior to such date, but notwithstanding such occurrences, this Note shall remain
valid and shall be in full force and effect as to reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued pursuant to the Agreement subsequent to each such issuance. 

Except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Agreement, the Borrower and any and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties severally
waive grace, demand, presentment for 
  

 2 

 
payment, notice of dishonor or default, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration and diligence in collecting and bringing of suit against any party
hereto, and agree to all renewals, extensions or partial payments hereon, with or without notice, before or after maturity. 

THIS NOTE, THE OTHER INTERNATIONAL LOAN DOCUMENTS (UNLESS ANY SUCH INTERNATIONAL LOAN DOCUMENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDES OTHERWISE) SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES (OTHER THAN PROVISIONS OF 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). 

THIS NOTE AND THE OTHER INTERNATIONAL LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AS TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND
THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES; AND THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower has caused this Note to be executed and delivered by its
officer thereunto duly authorized effective as of the date first above written.

GUARANTY 

(International) 

See attached.

 Attachment to Exhibit F 

GUARANTY 

This Guaranty (herein referred to as the “Guaranty”) is dated as of September 29, 2006, and is executed by GREAT
LAKES DREDGE & DOCK COMPANY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Guarantor”), in order to induce WELLS FARGO HSBC TRADE BANK, N.A., a national banking association (“Trade Bank”), and WELLS FARGO
BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (“Wells Fargo”) (Trade Bank and Wells Fargo are singly, a “Bank”, and collectively, the “Banks”), to provide financial accommodations to
GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”). 
 1. GUARANTY;
DEFINITIONS. In consideration of any credit or other financial accommodation heretofore, now or hereafter extended or made to the Borrower by the Banks and for other valuable consideration, the undersigned Guarantor and any
debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy, heir, executor or other successor which succeeds to the interest of the Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees the full and prompt payment to the Banks, or order, on demand in lawful money of the
United States of America and in immediately available funds, of any and all Obligations of the Borrower to the Banks, provided, however the Guarantor acknowledges and agrees (a) the Obligations guaranteed hereunder shall include
obligations and liabilities arising out of the Standby Letter of Credit Agreement and all instruments, certificates and agreements executed in connection therewith owed by any Loan Party to Wells Fargo or any affiliate thereof pursuant to the terms
thereto and (b) all references herein to “Obligations” herein shall include such Obligations described in clause (a) hereof for all purposes hereunder. As used in this Guaranty, the term “Obligations” means all
Obligations as defined in that certain International Letter of Credit Agreement dated as of September 29, 2006, by and among the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, including the Guarantor, from time to time party thereto and Trade Bank (as
amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Letter of Credit Agreement”); terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Letter of Credit Agreement).
Notwithstanding anything in this Guaranty to the contrary, the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render the Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer
Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of the Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the
applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or contribution of the Guarantor pursuant to (y) applicable law, or (z) any agreement providing for rights of subrogation, reimbursement or
contribution in favor of the Guarantor, or for an equitable allocation among the Guarantor, the Borrower, and any other person or entity liable for the Obligations. 

2. SUCCESSIVE TRANSACTIONS; REVOCATIONS; OBLIGATION UNDER OTHER GUARANTIES. This Guaranty shall be an absolute,
continuing, irrevocable, and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection, and 

 

 GUARANTY – Page 1 

 
the Guarantor shall remain liable on its obligations hereunder until the indefeasible payment and performance in full of the Obligations and the termination of all commitments by the Trade Bank
to extend credit to or for the benefit of the Borrower under the Letter of Credit Agreement. All rights, powers and remedies under this Guaranty shall apply to all past, present and future Obligations of the Borrower to the Banks, including those
arising under successive transactions which shall either continue the Obligations, increase or decrease the Obligations, or from time to time create new Obligations after all or any prior part of the Obligations has been satisfied, and
notwithstanding the dissolution, liquidation or bankruptcy of the Borrower or the Guarantor or any other event or proceeding affecting the Borrower or the Guarantor. No set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, reduction, or diminution of any obligation,
or any defense of any kind or nature (other than payment or performance) which the Borrower may have against either Bank, or any other party, or which the Guarantor may have against the Borrower, either Bank, or any other party, shall be available
to, or shall be asserted by, the Guarantor against either Bank, or any subsequent holder of the Obligations or any part thereof or against payment of the Obligations or any part thereof. If the Guarantor becomes liable for any indebtedness owing by
the Borrower to the Banks by endorsement or otherwise, other than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected hereby, and the rights of the Banks hereunder shall be cumulative of any and all other rights that
the Banks may ever have against the Guarantor. The exercise by either Bank of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other instrument, or at law or in equity, shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy.

 3. SEPARATE ACTIONS; WAIVER OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS; REINSTATEMENT OF LIABILITY. The obligations hereunder
are independent of the obligations of the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor whether action is brought against the Borrower or any other person, or whether the Borrower or any other person
is joined in any such action or actions. A separate action or actions may be bought and prosecuted against the Guarantor by the either Bank; the Banks do not need to join each other in any such action. The Guarantor acknowledges that there are no
conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Guaranty, and this Guaranty is in full force and effect and is binding on the Guarantor as of the date first written above, regardless of whether either Bank obtains collateral or any guaranties from
others or takes any other action contemplated by the Guarantor. The Guarantor waives, to the extent permitted under applicable law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement
thereof, and the Guarantor agrees that any payment of any Obligations or other act which shall toll any statute of limitations applicable thereto shall similarly operate to toll such statute of limitations applicable to the Guarantor’s
liability hereunder. The liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall be reinstated and revived and the rights of the Banks shall continue if and to the extent for any reason any amount at any time paid on account of any Obligations guaranteed hereby
is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by either Bank, whether as a result of any proceeding in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid. The determination as to whether any amount so paid must be
rescinded or restored shall be made by each Bank in its sole discretion; provided, however, that if a Bank chooses to contest any such matter at the request of the Guarantor, the Guarantor agrees to indemnify and hold the Banks
harmless from and against all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees expended or incurred by the Banks in connection therewith, including, without limitation, in any litigation with respect thereto. 

 

 GUARANTY – Page 2 

 4. AUTHORIZATIONS TO THE BANKS. The Guarantor authorizes each Bank either
before or after revocation hereof, without notice to or demand on the Guarantor, and without affecting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time to: (a) alter, compromise, renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time
for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the Obligations or any portion thereof, including any increase in the principal amount of the Obligations or available credit facilities, any increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon, or
provide additional types of credit facilities and services; (b) take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the Obligations or any portion thereof, and exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate or release any such security;
(c) to accept and hold any endorsement or guaranty of payment of the Obligations or any part thereof, and to discharge, release or substitute any one or more of the endorsers or any other guarantors of the Obligations, or any portion thereof,
or any other party thereto, and to enforce or refrain from enforcing, or compromise or modify, the terms of any obligations of any such endorser, guarantor, person or entity; (d) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale
thereof, including, without limitation, a non-judicial sale permitted by the terms of the International Loan Documents, as such Bank in its discretion may determine; (e) apply payments received by such Bank from the Borrower or any other person
or entity to any Obligations owed to such Bank, in such order as such Bank shall determine in its sole discretion, whether or not such Obligations are covered by this Guaranty, and the Guarantor hereby waives any provision of law regarding
application of payments which specifies otherwise. Each Bank may without notice assign this Guaranty in whole or in part. 
 5.
COVENANTS. The Guarantor covenants and agrees that, as long as the Obligations or any part thereof are outstanding or the Trade Bank has any commitment to the Borrower, the Guarantor will timely furnish promptly to the Trade Bank
such information concerning Guarantor as is required under the terms of the Letter of Credit Agreement. 
 6.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Banks that: (a) this Guaranty is executed at the Borrower’s request; (b) neither Bank has made any representation to the Guarantor as to the
creditworthiness of the Borrower or any other person or entity liable for the Obligations; (c) the Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from the Borrower on a continuing basis financial and other information pertaining to the
Borrower’s financial condition; (d) the Guarantor has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Guaranty, and this Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor,
enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as limited by Debtor Laws; (e) the execution, delivery, and performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty will not violate any law or any order of any court, governmental
authority or arbitrator and will not conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the imposition of any lien (other than Liens created or permitted under the International Loan Documents) upon any assets of the
Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, franchise, permit, license, or other instrument or agreement to which the Guarantor or its properties is bound; (f) the Guarantor has read and
understands the terms and conditions of the International Loan Documents; (g) the value of the consideration received and to be received by the Guarantor as a result of the Banks making extensions of credit to the Borrower and the Guarantor
executing and delivering this Guaranty is reasonably worth at least as much as the liability and obligation of the Guarantor hereunder, and such liability and obligation and such extensions of credit may reasonably be expected to benefit the
Guarantor directly or indirectly; (h) the fair value of the 
  

 GUARANTY – Page 3 

 
assets of the Guarantor (on a going concern basis) is, after giving effect to this Guaranty, greater than the total amount of liabilities (including contingent and unliquidated liabilities) of
the Guarantor after giving effect to this Guaranty, and that, after giving effect to this Guaranty, the Guarantor is able to pay all of its liabilities as they mature in the ordinary course and it does not have unreasonably small capital with which
to carry on its business. The Guarantor agrees to keep adequately informed from such means of any facts, events or circumstances which might in any way affect the Guarantor’s risks hereunder, and the Guarantor further agrees that the Banks
shall not have any obligation to disclose to the Guarantor any information or material about the Borrower or any other person or entity liable for the Obligations which is acquired by the Banks in any manner. 

7. THE GUARANTOR’S WAIVERS. 

7.1. The Guarantor waives any right to require the Banks to: (a) proceed against the Borrower or any other person;
(b) marshal assets or proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower or any other person; (c) give notice of the terms, time and place of any public or private sale of personal property security held from the Borrower or
any other person, or otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 9-611 of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of New York (the “UCC”); (d) take any action or pursue any other remedy in the Banks’
power; or (e) make any presentment or demand for performance, or give any notice of non-performance, protest, notice of protest or notice of dishonor in connection with any obligations or evidences of indebtedness held by the Banks as security
for or which constitute in whole or in part the Obligations guaranteed hereunder, or in connection with the creation of new or additional Obligations. 

7.2. The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the extent permitted under applicable law, all suretyship
defenses and any defense to its obligations hereunder based upon or arising by reason of: (a) any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other person; (b) the cessation or limitation from any cause whatsoever, other than
indefeasible payment in full, of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other person; (c) any lack of authority of any officer, director, partner, agent or any other person acting or purporting to act on behalf of the Borrower which is a
corporation, partnership or other type of entity, or any defect in the formation of the Borrower; (d) the application by the Borrower of the proceeds of any Obligations for purposes other than the purposes represented by the Borrower to, or
intended or understood by, the Banks or the Guarantor; (e) any act or omission by the Banks which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of the Borrower or any other person or entity liable for the Obligations or any portion of
the Obligations by operation of law or otherwise, or which in any way impairs or suspends any rights or remedies of the Banks against the Borrower or any other person or entity liable for the Obligations; (f) any impairment of the value of any
interest in any security for the Obligations or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, the failure to obtain or maintain perfection or recordation of any interest in any such security, the release of any such security without
substitution, and/or the failure to preserve the value of, or to comply with applicable law in disposing of, any such security; (g) any modification of the Obligations, in any form whatsoever, including any modification made after revocation
hereof to any Obligations incurred prior to such 
  

 GUARANTY – Page 4 

 
revocation, renewal, extension, acceleration or other change in the time for payment of, or other change in the terms of, the Obligations or any portion thereof, including increase in the
principal amount of the Obligations or available credit facilities, any increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon or provide additional types of credit facilities or services; (h) the invalidity or unenforceability of any of the
Obligations; or (i) it is especially and expressly agreed that if the indebtedness of the Borrower now or at any time hereafter exceeds the amount permitted by law, or if the Borrower’s obligation to pay interest, attorneys’ fees,
costs or expenses or any other sums ceases to exist by operation of law, or if the Borrower is not liable because the act of creating the obligation is ultra vires, or the officers creating same acted without authority, and for these reasons the
Obligations to the Banks which the Guarantor agrees to pay cannot be enforced against the Borrower, such fact shall in no manner affect the Guarantor’s liability hereunder, notwithstanding the fact that the Borrower is not liable or such
Obligations, but the Guarantor shall be liable hereunder to the same extent as the Guarantor would have been if the Obligations of the Borrower had been fully enforceable against said the Borrower. The Guarantor hereby waives notice of intent to
accelerate the Obligations and notice of acceleration of the Obligations. Until all Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the termination of all commitments of the Trade Bank to extend credit to or for the benefit of the Borrower
under the Letter of Credit Agreement, the Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, and the Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy which either Bank now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower or any other person, and waives any
benefit of, or any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by the Banks. The Guarantor further waives all rights and defenses the Guarantor may have arising out of (A) any election of remedies by either Bank, even though
that election of remedies, such as a non-judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for any portion of the Obligations, destroys the Guarantor’s rights of subrogation or the Guarantor’s rights to proceed against the Borrower or any
other person or entity for reimbursement, or (B) any loss of rights the Guarantor may suffer by reason of any rights, power or remedies of the Borrower in connection with any anti-deficiency laws or any other laws limiting, qualifying or
discharging the Borrower or any of the Obligations. Until all Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the termination of all commitments by the Trade Bank to extend credit to or for the benefit of the Borrower under the Letter of
Credit Agreement, the Guarantor further waives any right to enforce any remedy which either Bank now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower or any other person, and waives any benefit of, or any right to participate in, any security now or
hereafter held by either Bank. 
 8. THE BANKS’ RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE GUARANTOR’S PROPERTY IN THE
BANKS’ POSSESSION. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Guarantor hereby gives and confirms to each Bank a right of set-off of all moneys, securities and other property of the Guarantor (whether special, general or
limited) and the proceeds thereof, now or hereafter delivered to remain with or in transit in any manner to the Banks, its correspondents or its agents from or for the Guarantor, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or
otherwise or coming into possession of the Banks in any way, and also, any balance of any deposit accounts and credits of the Guarantor with, and any and all claims of security for the payment of the Obligations, and the Guarantor hereby authorize
each Bank at any time or times, without prior notice, to apply such money, securities, 
  

 GUARANTY – Page 5 

 
other property, proceeds, balances, credits of claims, or any part of the foregoing, to such Obligations in such amounts as it may select, whether such liabilities be contingent, unmatured or
otherwise, and whether any collateral security therefor is deemed adequate or not. The rights described herein shall be in addition to any collateral security described in any separate agreement executed by the Guarantor. 

9. REMEDIES; NO WAIVER. All rights, powers and remedies of the Banks hereunder are cumulative. No delay, failure or
discontinuance of either Bank in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver of such right, power or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude, waive or
otherwise affect any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by either Bank either any breach of this Guaranty, or any such waiver of any provision or
condition thereof, must be in writing, must be signed by the Banks and shall be in effect only to the extent set forth in writing. 

10. COSTS, EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES. The Guarantor shall pay to each Bank promptly upon demand the full amount of
all reasonable out-of-pocket payments, advances, charges, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, expended or incurred by such Bank in connection with (a) the enforcement of this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any of the
foregoing incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding relating to the Borrower, the Guarantor or any other person or entity liable for the Obligations, (b) the collection of any of the Obligations, and (c) realizing upon or
protecting any security for this Guaranty or for payment of any Obligations. 
 11. ADDITIONAL GUARANTORS. Upon
the execution and delivery by any Person of a Joinder to Guaranty in the form of Exhibit G to the Letter of Credit Agreement, such Person (i) shall be and become a Guarantor hereunder and (ii) a party to the Letter of Credit
Agreement and each reference in this Guaranty and the other International Loan Documents to “Guarantor” shall also mean a reference to such Person. The execution and delivery of such Joinder to Guaranty shall not require the consent of any
other Guarantor hereunder, and the rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Guaranty. 

12. SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS. This Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the
parties (including any debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy); provided, that the Guarantor may not assign or transfer any of its interest, rights or obligations hereunder without the Banks’ prior written consent. The Guarantor
acknowledges that each Bank has the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participation in all or in any part of, or any interest in, any Obligations of the Borrower to such Bank and any obligations with respect thereto, including this
Guaranty. In connection therewith, each Bank may disclose all documents and information which such Bank now has or hereafter acquires relating to the Guarantor and/or this Guaranty, whether furnished by the Borrower, the Guarantor or otherwise. The
Guarantor further agrees that either Bank may disclose such documents and information to the Borrower. 
 13.
AMENDMENT. This Guaranty is absolute and unconditional and shall not be changed or affected by any representation, oral agreement, act or thing whatsoever, except as 

 

 GUARANTY – Page 6 

 
herein provided. This Guaranty is intended by the Guarantor to be the final, complete and exclusive expression of the agreement between the Guarantor and the Banks. This Guaranty may be amended
or modified only in writing signed by the Banks and the Guarantor. 
 14. UNDERSTANDING WITH RESPECT TO WAIVERS;
SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. The Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth herein is made by the Guarantor’s full knowledge of its significance and consequences, and that under the circumstances, the waivers are
reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law. If any waiver or other provision of this Guaranty shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable public policy or law, such waiver or other provision shall be ineffective only to
the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such waiver or other provision or any remaining provisions of this Guaranty. 

15. COUNTERPARTS. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original,
but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Guaranty. A telecopy or electronic copy of any such executed counterpart shall be deemed valid as an original. 

16. GOVERNING LAW. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
without regard to its conflicts of law principles (other than the provisions of 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law). THE PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED ON OR PERTAINING TO THIS
GUARANTY. 
 17. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE. PAYMENTS OF ALL SUMS OF MONEY AND THE PERFORMANCE OF ALL OF THE COVENANTS
AND AGREEMENTS HEREUNDER SHALL BE PAYABLE AND DUE AT THE OFFICE OF THE TRADE BANK SET FORTH IN THE LETTER OF CREDIT AGREEMENT. 

18. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE USURY LAWS. It is the intention of the Banks and the Guarantor to contract in strict
compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. In furtherance therefore, such persons stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Guaranty or any other International Loan Document shall ever be
construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money interest in excess of the maximum interest permitted to be charged by applicable law from time to time in effect. Neither the Guarantor nor any of its subsidiaries
or affiliates nor any present or future guarantors, endorsers, or other parties hereafter becoming liable for payment of the Obligations shall ever be liable for unearned interest thereon or shall ever be required to pay interest thereon in excess
of maximum interest that may be lawfully charged under applicable law from time to time in effect, and that provisions of this Section shall control over all other provision of this Guaranty or any other International Loan Document which may be in
apparent conflict herewith. In the event that the Banks or any other holder of the Obligations shall collect moneys which are deemed to constitute interest which would otherwise increase the effective interest on the Obligations or any part thereof
to an amount in excess of that permitted to be charged by applicable law then in effect, all such sums deemed to constitute interest in excess of such legal limit shall be immediately returned to the Guarantor or the other payor thereof upon such
determination. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific 
  

 GUARANTY – Page 7 

 
contingency, exceeds the maximum amount permitted under applicable law, the Banks and the Guarantor (and any other payors thereof) shall to the greatest extent permitted under applicable law,
(a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread the total amount of interest
throughout the maximum available period of time in accordance with the amounts owing by the Guarantor from time to time and the maximum legal rates of interest from time to time in effect under applicable law in order to lawfully charge the maximum
amount of interest permitted under applicable law. The term “applicable law” as used herein shall mean the law of the State of New York or the laws of the United States, whichever laws allow the greater rate of interest, as such laws now
exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future. 
 19. FINAL AGREEMENT. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT

at the Rate of Exchange on the date determined by you in your sole discretion; or (c) at the Payment Office in the Dollar equivalent, as determined by you (which determination shall be deemed correct absent manifest error), of such fees,
expenses, interest or other amounts or of the actual cost to you of paying such Demand. Applicant assumes all political, economic and other risks of disruptions or interruptions in any currency exchange.

instructions or any Application, or in the event of any other irregularity, Applicant will promptly notify you in writing of such noncompliance or irregularity, Applicant being conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim of noncompliance or
irregularity unless such notice is promptly given; (k) all directions and correspondence relating to any L/C Document are to be sent at Applicant’s risk; (l) if any Credit has a provision concerning the automatic extension of its

notify the Beneficiary of such Credit or any advising bank of such nonrenewal pursuant to the terms of such Credit; (m) Applicant will not seek to obtain, apply for, or acquiesce in any temporary or permanent restraining order, preliminary or

connection with any L/C Document or any Loan Document.

warrants to you that no Application, Credit or transaction under any Application and/or Credit will contravene any law or regulation of the government of the United States or any state thereof. Applicant agrees (a) to comply with all federal,
state and foreign exchange regulations and other government laws and regulations now or hereafter applicable to any L/C Document, to any payments under or in connection with any L/C Document, to each transaction under or in connection with any L/C
Document, or to the import, export, shipping or financing of the Property referred to in or shipped under or in connection with any Credit, and (b) to reimburse you for such amounts as you may be required to expend as a result of such laws or
regulations, or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof by any court or administrative or government authority charged with the administration of such laws or regulations. 

SECTION 9. TAXES, RESERVES AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY REQUIREMENTS. In addition to, and notwithstanding any other provision of any L/C Document or any
Loan Document, in the event that any law, treaty, rule, regulation, guideline, request, order, directive or determination (whether or not having the force of law) of or from any government authority, including, without limitation, any court, central
bank or government regulatory authority, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, (a) does or shall subject you to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to the L/C Documents, or change the basis of taxation
of payments to you of any amount payable thereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on your net income); (b) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, compulsory loan, Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, other credit extended by or any other acquisition of funds by, any of your offices;
(c) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any capital adequacy requirements (whether or not having the force of law); or (d) does or shall impose on you any other condition; and the result of any of the foregoing is (i) to

capital or the capital of the Holding Company to a level below that which you or the Holding Company could have achieved but for any imposition, modification or application of any capital adequacy requirement (taking into consideration your policy
and the policy of the Holding Company, as the case may be, with respect to capital adequacy), and any such increase or reduction is material (as determined by you or the Holding Company, as the case may be, in your or the Holding Company’s sole
discretion); then, in any such case, Applicant agrees to pay to you or the Holding Company, as the case may be, such amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate you or the Holding Company for (A) any such additional cost, (B) any
reduction in the amount received by you under any L/C Document, or (C) to the extent allocable (as determined by you or the Holding Company, as the case may be, in your or the Holding Company’s sole discretion) to any L/C Document, any
reduction in the rate of return on your capital or the capital of the Holding Company. 
 SECTION 10. COLLATERAL. As security for any or
all of Applicant’s obligations and liabilities to you at any time existing under or in connection with any L/C Document or any Loan Document, Applicant has granted to you under the Loan Documents a security interest in and to the collateral
specified in the Loan Documents until such time as all Applicant’s obligations and liabilities to you at any time existing under or in connection with each L/C Document and each Loan Document have been fully paid and discharged, all as security
for such obligations and liabilities. Applicant agrees that the receipt by you of the Collateral or by you or any of your agents or correspondents at any time of any kind of security, including, without limitation, cash, shall not be deemed a waiver
of any of your rights or powers under this Agreement. Applicant agrees to sign and deliver to you on demand, all such security agreements, financing statements and other documents as you shall at any time request which are necessary or desirable (in
your sole opinion) to grant to you an effective and perfected security interest in and to any or all of the Collateral. Applicant agrees to pay all filing and recording fees related to the perfection of any security interest granted to you in
accordance with this Section. Applicant hereby agrees that any or all of the Collateral may be held and disposed of by you as provided in this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Upon any transfer, sale, delivery, surrender or endorsement of any
Property which is or was part of the Collateral, Applicant will indemnify and hold you and your agents and correspondents harmless from and against each and every claim, demand, action or suit which may arise against you or any of your agents or
correspondents by reason of such transfer, sale, delivery, surrender or endorsement. 
 SECTION 11. INDEMNIFICATION. Except to the extent
caused by your lack of good faith, and notwithstanding 
  

 4 of 9 

 
any other provision of this Agreement, Applicant agrees to reimburse and indemnify you for (a) all amounts paid by you to any Beneficiary under or in connection with any guarantee or similar
undertaking issued by such Beneficiary to a third party at Applicant’s request, whether such request is communicated directly by Applicant or through you to such Beneficiary; and (b) all damages, losses, liabilities, actions, claims,
suits, penalties, judgments, obligations, costs or expenses, of any kind whatsoever and howsoever caused, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and interest, paid, suffered or incurred by, or imposed upon, you directly or indirectly
arising out of or in connection with (i) any L/C Document, any Loan Document, any Document or any Property referred to in or related to any Credit; (ii) Applicant’s failure to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement;
(iii) the issuance of any Credit; (iv) the transfer of any Credit; (v) any guarantee or similar undertaking, or any transactions thereunder, issued by any Beneficiary to a third party at Applicant’s request, whether such request
is communicated directly by Applicant or through you to such Beneficiary; (vi) any communication made by you, on Applicant’s instructions, to any Beneficiary requesting that such Beneficiary issue a guarantee or similar undertaking to a
third party or the issuance of any such guarantee or similar undertaking; (vii) the collection of any amounts Applicant owes to you under or in connection with any L/C Document or any Loan Document; (viii) the foreclosure against, or other
enforcement of, any Collateral; (ix) the protection, exercise or enforcement of your rights and remedies under or in connection with any L/C Document or any Loan Document; (x) any court decrees or orders, including, without limitation,

correspondents or any advising, confirming, negotiating, paying or other bank from paying or negotiating any Demand or honoring any other obligation under or in connection with any Credit; or (xi) any Credit being governed by laws or rules
other than the UCP in effect on the date such Credit is issued. The indemnity provided in this Section will survive the termination of this Agreement and the expiration or cancellation of any or all the Credits. 

SECTION 12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither you nor any of your agents or correspondents
will have any liability to Applicant for any action, neglect or omission, if done in good faith, under or in connection with any L/C Document, Loan Document or Credit, including, without limitation, the issuance or any amendment of any Credit, the
failure to issue or amend any Credit, or the honoring or dishonoring of any Demand under any Credit, and such good faith action, neglect or omission will bind Applicant. Notwithstanding any other provision of any L/C Document, in no event shall you
or your officers or directors be liable or responsible, regardless of whether any claim is based on contract or tort, for (a) any special, consequential, indirect or incidental damages, including, without limitation, lost profits, arising out
of or in connection with the issuance of any Credit or any action taken or not taken by you in connection with any L/C Document, any Loan Document, or any Document or Property referred to in or related to any Credit; (b) the honoring of any
Demand in accordance with any order or directive of any court or government or regulatory body or entity requiring such honor despite any temporary restraining order, restraining order, preliminary injunction, permanent injunction or any type of
pretrial or permanent injunctive relief or any similar relief, however named, restraining, prohibiting or enjoining such honor; (c) the dishonoring of any Demand in accordance with any legal or other restriction in force at the time and in the
place of presentment or payment; (d) verifying the existence or reasonableness of any act or condition referenced, or any statement made, in connection with any drawing or presentment under any Credit; (e) the use which may be made of any

this Agreement, the term “Restricted Account” refers, individually and collectively, to each such deposit account. 
  

	1.	Secured Party’s Interest in Restricted Account. Secured Party represents that it is either (i) a lender who has extended credit to Company and has been
granted a security interest in the Restricted Account or (ii) such a lender and the agent for a group of such lenders (the “Lenders”). Company hereby confirms, and Bank hereby acknowledges, the security interest granted by
Company to Secured Party in all of Company’s right, title and interest in and to the Restricted Account and all sums now or hereafter on deposit in or payable or withdrawable from the Restricted Account (the “Account Funds”).
Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement, Company has given Secured Party complete control over the Account Funds. Secured Party hereby appoints Bank as agent for Secured Party only for the purpose of perfecting the security
interest of Secured Party in the Account Funds while they are in the Restricted Account. Company and Secured Party would like to use the Restricted Account Service of Bank described in this Agreement (the “Service”) to further the

on-line or by facsimile transmission, at Bank’s option. Company expressly consents to this transmission of information. Secured Party and Company understand and agree that the opening available balance in the Restricted Account at the beginning
of any Business Day will be determined after deducting from the Restricted Account the face amount of all Returned Items (as defined in Section 5 of this Agreement).

Account to the Company Remote Account in accordance with the terms hereof. As used herein, “Letter of Credit Agreement” means that certain International Letter of Credit Agreement dated as of September 29, 2006, by and among
the Company, Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Corporation and Secured Party. 

  

	5.	Returned Item Amounts. Secured Party and Company understand and agree that the face amount (“Returned Item Amount”) of each Returned Item will
be paid by Bank debiting the Restricted Account, without prior notice to Secured Party or Company. As used in this Agreement, the term “Returned Item” means (i) any item deposited to the Restricted Account and returned unpaid, whether
for insufficient funds or for any other reason, and without regard to the timeliness of such return or the occurrence or timeliness of any drawee’s notice of non-payment; (ii) any item subject to a claim against Bank of breach of transfer
or presentment warranty under the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted in the applicable state; (iii) any automated clearing house (“ACH”) entry credited to the Restricted Account and returned unpaid or subject to an adjustment

after demand, without setoff or counterclaim, to the extent that (i) the Returned Item Amounts are not paid in full by Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after demand on Company by Bank, and (ii) Secured Party has received

	7.	 Bank Fees. Company agrees to pay all reasonable customary Bank’s fees and charges for the maintenance and administration of the Restricted
Account and for the treasury management and other account services provided with respect to the Restricted Account (collectively “Bank Fees”), including, but not limited to, the fees for (a) the Balance Reports provided on the
Restricted Account, (b) the wire transfer services received with respect to the Restricted Account, (c) Returned Items, (d) funds advanced to cover overdrafts in the Restricted Account (but without Bank being in any way obligated to
make any such advances), and (e) duplicate bank statements on the Restricted Account. The Bank Fees will be paid by Bank debiting the 

 

			
	 RestAcctAgmt-Std-NS
	  	Page 2
	 (Revised 08/09/05)
	  	

	 	 
Restricted Account on the Business Day that the Bank Fees are due without notice to Secured Party or Company. If there are not sufficient funds in the Restricted Account to cover fully the Bank
Fees on the Business Day they are to be debited from the Restricted Account, such shortfall or the amount of such Bank Fees will be paid by Company sending Bank a check in the amount of such shortfall or such Bank Fees, without setoff or
counterclaim, within thirty (30) calendar days after written demand to Company by Bank. Secured Party agrees to pay the Bank Fees within forty-five (45) calendar days after demand, without setoff or counterclaim, to the extent such Bank
Fees are not paid in full by Company within thirty (30) calendar days after demand on Company by Bank. 

  

	8.	Account Documentation. Secured Party and Company agree that, except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Restricted Account will be subject to, and
Bank’s operation of the Restricted Account will be in accordance with, the terms and provisions of Bank’s Commercial Account Agreement or other deposit account agreement governing the Restricted Account (“Account
Agreement”). 

  

	9.	Bank Statements. Bank will, upon receiving a written request from Secured Party, send to Secured Party by United States mail, at the address indicated for
Secured Party after its signature to this Agreement, duplicate copies of all bank statements on the Restricted Account which are sent to Company. Company and/or Secured Party will have thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of a bank statement
to notify Bank of an error in such statement. Bank’s liability for such errors is limited as provided in the “Limitation of Liability” section of this Agreement. 

 

	10.	Partial Subordination of Bank’s Rights. Bank hereby subordinates to the security interest of Secured Party in the Restricted Account (i) any security
interest which Bank may have or acquire in the Restricted Account, and (ii) any right which Bank may have or acquire to set off or otherwise apply any Account Funds against the payment of any indebtedness from time to time owing to Bank from
Company, except for debits to the Restricted Account permitted under this Agreement for the payment of Returned Item Amounts or Bank Fees. 

  

	11.	Bankruptcy Notice; Effect of Filing. If Bank at any time receives notice of the commencement of a bankruptcy case or other insolvency or liquidation proceeding
by or against Company (a “Bankruptcy Notice”), Bank will continue to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that any action required of Bank under this Agreement is prohibited under applicable
bankruptcy laws or regulations or is stayed pursuant to the automatic stay imposed under the United States Bankruptcy Code or by order of any court or agency. With respect to any obligation of Secured Party hereunder which requires prior demand upon
Company, the commencement of a bankruptcy case or other insolvency or liquidation proceeding by or against Company shall automatically eliminate the necessity of such demand upon Company by Bank, and shall immediately entitle Bank to make demand on
Secured Party with the same effect as if demand had been made upon Company and the time for Company’s performance had expired. 

  

	12.	Legal Process, Legal Notices and Court Orders. Bank will comply with any legal process, legal notice or court order it receives if Bank determines in its sole
discretion that the legal process, legal notice or court order is legally binding on it. 

  

	13.	 Indemnification for Following Instructions. Secured Party and Company each agree that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
Bank will not be liable to Secured Party or Company for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims (including, but not limited to, third party claims), demands, obligations, actions, suits, judgments, penalties, costs or expenses, including, but not
limited to, attorneys’ fees, (collectively, “Losses and Liabilities”) suffered or 

  

			
	 RestAcctAgmt-Std-NS
	  	Page 3
	 (Revised 08/09/05)
	  	

	 	 
incurred by Secured Party or Company as a result of or in connection with, (a) Bank complying with any binding legal process, legal notice or court order referred to in Section 12 of
this Agreement, (b) Bank following any instruction or request of Secured Party, or (c) Bank complying with its obligations under this Agreement. Company will indemnify Bank against any Losses and Liabilities Bank may suffer or incur as a
result of or in connection with any of the circumstances referred to in clauses (a) through (c) of this Section 13. To the extent not paid by Company within thirty (30) calendar days after written demand, Secured Party will
indemnify Bank against any Losses and Liabilities Bank may suffer or incur as a result of or in connection with any of the circumstances referred to in clause (b) of this Section 13. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, no party shall be entitled to the benefits of this Section 13 to the extent of any bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct by such party seeking indemnification. 

 

	14.	No Representations or Warranties of Bank. Bank agrees to perform its obligations under this Agreement in a manner consistent with the quality provided when Bank
performs similar services for its own account. However, Bank will not be responsible for the errors, acts or omissions of others, such as communications carriers, correspondents or clearinghouses through which Bank may perform its obligations under
this Agreement or receive or transmit information in performing its obligations under this Agreement. Secured Party and Company also understand that Bank will not be responsible for any loss, liability or delay caused by wars, failures in
communications networks, labor disputes, legal constraints, fires, power surges or failures, earthquakes, civil disturbances or other events beyond Bank’s control. BANK MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT
TO THE SERVICE OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. 

  

	15.	Limitation of Liability. Bank will not be responsible for any Losses and Liabilities due to any cause other than its own negligence or breach of this Agreement,
in which case its liability to Secured Party and Company shall, unless otherwise provided by any law which cannot be varied by contract, be limited to direct money damages in an amount not to exceed ten (10) times all the Bank Fees charged or
incurred during the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which such Losses and Liabilities occurred (or, if no Bank Fees were charged or incurred in the preceding month, the Bank Fees charged or incurred in the month in which
the Losses and Liabilities occurred). Company will indemnify Bank against all Losses and Liabilities suffered or incurred by Bank as a result of third party claims; provided, however, that Company shall not indemnify to extent such Losses and
Liabilities arise from gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct from such party seeking indemnification. IN NO EVENT WILL BANK BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER ANY CLAIM IS BASED
ON CONTRACT OR TORT, WHETHER THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES WAS KNOWN TO BANK AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE CLAIM OR ACTION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY CLAIM OR ACTION ALLEGING GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, FAILURE TO EXERCISE
REASONABLE CARE OR FAILURE TO ACT IN GOOD FAITH. Any action against Bank by Company or Secured Party under or related to this Agreement must be brought within twelve (12) months after the cause of action accrues. 

 

	16.	 Termination. This Agreement and the Service may be terminated by Secured Party or Bank at any time by either of them giving thirty
(30) calendar days prior written notice of such termination to the other parties to this Agreement at their contact addresses specified after their signatures to this Agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement and the Service may be
terminated immediately upon written notice from Bank to Company and Secured Party should Company or Secured Party fail to make any payment when due to Bank from Company or Secured Party under the terms of this Agreement. Company’s and Secured
Party’s obligation to 

  

			
	 RestAcctAgmt-Std-NS
	  	Page 4
	 (Revised 08/09/05)
	  	

	 	 
report errors in funds transfers and bank statements and to pay Returned Item Amounts and Bank Fees, as well as the indemnifications made, and the limitations on the liability of Bank accepted,
by Company and Secured Party under this Agreement will continue after the termination of this Agreement and/or the closure of the Restricted Account with respect to all the circumstances to which they are applicable existing or occurring before such
termination or closure, and any liability of any party to this Agreement, as determined under the provisions of this Agreement, with respect to acts or omissions of such party prior to such termination or closure will also survive such termination
or closure. Upon any termination of this Agreement and the Service or closure of the Restricted Account all collected and available balances in the Restricted Account on the date of such termination or closure will be transferred to Secured Party as
requested by Secured Party in writing to Bank. 

  

	17.	Modifications, Amendments, and Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified or amended, or any provision thereof waived, except in a writing signed by all the
parties to this Agreement. 

  

	18.	Notices. All notices from one party to another shall be in writing, or be made by a telecommunications device capable of creating a written record, shall be
delivered to Company, Secured Party and/or Bank at their contact addresses specified after their signatures to this Agreement, or any other address of any party notified to the other parties in writing, and shall be effective upon receipt. Any
notice sent by a party to this Agreement to another party shall also be sent to all other parties to this Agreement. Bank is authorized by Company and Secured Party to act on any instructions or notices received by Bank if (a) such instructions
or notices purport to be made in the name of Secured Party, (b) Bank reasonably believes that they are so made, and (c) they do not conflict with the terms of this Agreement as such terms may be amended from time to time, unless such
conflicting instructions or notices are supported by a court order. 

  

	19.	Successors and Assigns. Neither Company nor Secured Party may assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any person or entity without
the prior written consent of Bank, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Bank may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any person or entity without the prior written consent of Secured Party, which consent will not
be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that no such consent will be required if such assignment or transfer takes place as part of a merger, acquisition or corporate reorganization affecting Bank. 

 

	20.	Governing Law. Company and Secured Party understand that Bank’s provision of the Service under this Agreement is subject to federal laws and regulations. To
the extent that such federal laws and regulations are not applicable this Agreement shall be governed by and be construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the office of Bank that maintains the Restricted Account is located, without
regard to conflict of laws principles. 

  

	21.	Severability. To the extent that this Agreement or the Service to be provided under this Agreement are inconsistent with, or prohibited or unenforceable under,
any applicable law or regulation, they will be deemed ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability and be deemed modified and applied in a manner consistent with such law or regulation. Any provision of this Agreement which
is deemed unenforceable or invalid in any jurisdiction shall not affect the enforceability or validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the same provision in any other jurisdiction.

	22.	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be an original with the same effect as if the signatures thereto
and hereto were upon the same instrument. 

  

	23.	Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Account Agreement, contains the entire and only agreement among all the parties to this Agreement and between
Bank and Company, and Bank and Secured Party, with respect to (a) the Service, (b) the interest of Secured Party and the Lenders in the Account Funds and the Restricted Account, and (c) Bank’s obligations to Secured Party and the
Lenders in connection with the Account Funds and the Restricted Account.

 Section 6.3 

Litigation 
  

	1.	On April 24, 2006, a class action complaint was filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, on behalf of citizens of Louisiana who
suffered property damage from the waters that flooded New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina hit the area. The suit names Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company, LLC (the “Company”) along with numerous other dredging companies who have
completed projects on behalf of the Army Corps of Engineers in the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (“MRGO”), and the Federal government as defendants. The complaint alleges that dredging of MRGO caused the destruction of the Louisiana
wetlands which provide a natural barrier against storms and hurricanes. This loss of natural barriers then contributed to the failure of the levees upon the impact of Hurricane Katrina which allowed the floodwaters to damage plaintiffs’
property. Among other assertions is negligence in violation of the Water Pollution Control Act. The amount of damages is not stated but would be presumed to be significant. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and believes this claim
will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business. 

  

	2.	On February 10, 2004, the Company was served with a subpoena to produce documents in connection with a federal grand jury convened in the United States District
Court for the District of South Carolina. The Company believes the grand jury has been convened to investigate the United States dredging industry in connection with work performed for the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers. The Company complied with the
Justice Department’s requests and Company management believes that it has provided substantially all of the documents that have been requested to this point. In addition to the documents requested, seven employees or former employees of the
Company have now been interviewed or have testified before the grand jury. 

  

	3.	On January 19, 2005, the Company, along with its joint-venture partners on the Port of Los Angeles Deepening Project, received a request for information from the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) pursuant to section 308(a) of the Clean Water Act. The EPA is investigating alleged dredging of unauthorized material and unauthorized discharge of that material at various locations in
federally regulated waters of the U.S. relating to this project. The Company performed this project under a contract with the Los Angeles district of the Corps and believes it was in compliance with the contract specifications. The Company has
complied with the request for information and has received no further response from the EPA. It is management’s understanding that the Corps is currently addressing this matter with the EPA in Washington, as this is a national policy issue.
Therefore, the Company believes the EPA request it has received will not result in any further action against the Company. 

 Schedule 6.3 

Litigation 
  

	4.	The Company or its former subsidiary, NATCO Limited Partnership, are named as defendants in approximately 280 lawsuits, the majority of which were filed between 1989
and 2000, and 18 of which were filed in the last three years. In these lawsuits, the plaintiffs allege personal injury, primarily fibrosis or asbestosis, from exposure to asbestos on our vessels. The vast majority of these lawsuits have been filed
in the Northern District of Ohio and a few in the Eastern District of Michigan. All of the cases filed against the Company prior to 1996 were administratively dismissed in May 1996 and any cases filed since that time have similarly been
administratively transferred to the inactive docket. Plaintiffs in these cases could seek to reinstate the cases at a future date without being barred by the statute of limitations. However, to date, no plaintiffs with claims against the Company
have sought reinstatement. There are therefore no active pending cases against the Company. The Company believes that these cases will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.

CONSULTING AGREEMENT 

THIS AGREEMENT is made effective this
16th day of August, 2010. 

	BETWEEN: 		 
	 	  	 
		
      Enertopia Corp., a body corporate duly
      incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, and having its
      Registered Office at 950-1130 West Pender, in the City of Vancouver, in
      the Province/State of British Columbia, V6E 4A4 
	 
	 	  	 
	 	(hereinafter called the "Company") 	 

OF THE FIRST PART 

	AND: 		 
		Tom Ihrke, an individual in the State of
      South Carolina residing at 38 Krier , Mount Pleasant, SC 29464. Phone
      843.884.4358 	 
	 	 	 
	 	(hereinafter called the "Consultant," or,
      “Ihrke”) 	 

OF THE SECOND PART 

WHEREAS: 

A. 

The Company is desirous of retaining the consulting services
of Ihrke as a Senior Vice President – Business Development, on a continuing
basis and the Consultant has agreed to serve the Company as an independent
contractor upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; 

FOR VALUABLE CONSIDERATION it is
hereby agreed as follows: 

1. 

The Consultant
shall provide corporate consulting services to the Company, such duties and
responsibilities to include; 

a) 

Capital Raising. The Consultant will attempt to introduce
capital to, and for use by the Company. This includes capital for clean energy and water
purification project development; equity shares of the Company; and/or debt
financing. All contacts that the Consultant discusses Company business with,
will thereafter be the property of the Company and all contact information must
be provided to the Company on an ongoing basis. 

- 2 - 

b) 

Business
Development. The Consultant will develop and use his network of contacts that
could lead to new business opportunities in the clean energy and water
purification sectors; JV’s; Partnerships; or any other arrangement that could
lead to new or expanded business opportunities. All contacts that the Consultant
discusses Company business with, will thereafter be the property of the Company
and all contact information must be provided to the Company on an ongoing basis. 

c) 

General
Operations. The Consultant shall serve the Company (and/or such subsidiary or
subsidiaries of the company as the Company may from time to time require) in
such consulting capacity or capacities as may from time to time be determined by
resolution of the Board of Directors or senior management of the Company and
shall perform such duties and exercise such powers as may from time be
determined, as an independent contractor. The Consultant will work as needed
with lawyers, partners, shareholders and other stakeholders as required by the
Company. Financial modeling; presentation creation and delivery; meetings and
more may all be considered to be General Operations. 

d) 

Sales. The Consultant shall earn a 20% sales commission on
all Company products and services that he sells to new clients, or repeat sales
to his once-new clients, based on the Company’s before-tax profit margin. The
Company typically targets a 20%-25% profit margin on gross sales, so as an
example, the Consultant might earn 20% of a 25% profit margin; or 5% of the
gross sale amount, before taxes and net of returns. The Consultant shall
introduce the products and services; negotiate the sale and terms; manage the
delivery or provision of products and services; and manage the resulting client
relationship on behalf of the Company. The Consultant shall earn a commission
based on the identical formula, on all sales of products and services from those
companies related to Enertopia so long as the gross revenue of each sale is
booked through Enertopia. In the case that a revenue opportunity beneficial to
the Company presents itself, and that revenue opportunity falls outside of
the parameters previously listed, the Management of Enertopia and Ihrke can, in
the case of the specific opportunity, mutually agree to alter the commission
structure and pursue the opportunity without revising the terms of this
Agreement. 

- 3 - 

2.  

By virtue of this Agreement, the Company is expecting, and Ihrke is accepting, the responsibility of working, on average, 20 hours a week,
on behalf of the Company. Some weeks Ihrke may be required to work more than 20
hours and some weeks Ihrke may be required to work less than 20 hours in order
to fulfill the terms of this Agreement. With the exception of the normal
activities required to fullfill his obligations to the Company enumerated in
paragraph 1, The Consultant shall not act in any capacity whatsoever, directly
or indirectly for or for the betterment of any other clean energy company, clean
energy partnership, clean energy project, or clean energy venture.

3. 

The basic remuneration of the Consultant for its services
hereunder shall be at the rate of three thousand one hundred and twenty five
United States dollars (US$3,125) per month, together with any such increments
thereto as the Board of Directors of the Company may from time to time
determine, payable on the last business day of each calendar month. In the event
the Company and Ihrke mutually agree to such, the basic remuneration may instead
by paid through the issuance of restricted common shares. The basic compensation
covers that time required by the Consultant to fulfill his tasks. Opportunities
to earn additional compensation shall be as follows: 

a) 

If Ihrke introduces capital for the company, then at the
time the Company receives such capital the Company shall pay an amount, in US
Dollars, of up to 5% of the amount of capital raised by the Consultant. If the
source of capital demands a fee itself of more than 5%, then the total combined
cost of capital shall not exceed 10%, with the Ihrke agreeing to adjust the fee
on whatever sliding scale is necessary to not exceed the 10% overall cap. 

b) 

If Ihrke arranges a business combination, merger, takeover
or other material business development that is accepted by the Board of
Directors of the Company, then Ihrke shall be paid an amount, in US Dollars, of
up to 5% of the amount of the business transaction arranged by Ihrke. If the
source of the business transaction demands a fee itself of more than 5%, then the total combined cost of the business
transaction shall not exceed 10%, with the Ihrke agreeing to adjust its fee on
whatever sliding scale is necessary to not exceed the 10% overall cap. 

- 4 - 

4. 

The Company shall grant 150,000 stock options with a strike
price to be determined at the time of granting and in accordance with the
Company’s stock option plan and all regulations, to the Consultant. Further
details of the stock options, including vesting, will be included within a
separate stock option agreement to be exectued within twenty days of the signing
of this Agreement. 

5. 

The Consultant
shall be responsible for the payment of its income taxes and other remittances
including but not limited to any form of insurance as shall be required by any
governmental entity with respect to compensation paid by the Company to the
Consultant. 

6. 

The terms
"subsidiary" and "subsidiaries" as used herein mean any corporation or company
of which more than 50% of the outstanding shares carrying voting rights at all
times (provided that the ownership of such shares confers the right at all times
to elect at least a majority of the Board of Directors of such corporation or
company) are for the time being owned by or held for the Company and/or any
other corporation or company in like relation to the Company and include any
corporation or company in like relation to a subsidiary. 

7. 

The Consultant shall be reimbursed for all travelling and
other expenses actually and properly incurred by it in connection with its
duties hereunder. For all such expenses the Consultant shall furnish to the
Company statements, receipts and vouchers for such out-of-pocket expenses on a
monthly basis. The Consultant is pre-authorized to incur up to $500 per month,
cumulatively, in relevant expenses. Amounts over $500 per month must be approved
by management of the Company. Both parties recognize that as the financial
condition of the Company improves or deteriorates, this amount may be increased
or decreased without making changes to this document, provided the Company makes Ihrke aware of the changed amount. 

8. 

The Consultant shall not, either during the continuance of
its contract hereunder or at any time thereafter, disclose the private affairs
of the Company and/or its subsidiary or subsidiaries, or any secrets of the Company and/or its subsidiary or
subsidiaries, to any person other than the Directors of the Company and/or its
subsidiary or subsidiaries or for the Company's purposes and shall not (either
during the continuance of its contract hereunder or at any time thereafter) use
for its own purposes or for any purpose other than those of the Company any
information it may acquire in relation to the business and affairs of the
Company and/or its subsidiary or subsidiaries, unless required by law. 

- 5 - 

9. 

The Consultant shall well and faithfully serve the Company
or any subsidiary as aforesaid during the continuance of its contract hereunder
and use its best efforts to promote the interests of the Company. 

10. 

The Consultant agrees with the Company that it will during
the term of his contract hereunder, so long as the Board of Directors and/or
senior management of the Company and Ihrke may so desire, request Ihrke to serve
the Company as an officer and/or director without additional remuneration other
than normal director's fees, if any, payable by virtue of the office of director
and the provisions of the Articles of the Company. 

11. 

This Agreement may be terminated forthwith by the Company
or Ihrke without prior notice if at any time: 

	 	(a) 	
      The Company or Ihkre shall commit any material breach of
      any of the provisions herein contained; or

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      The Company or Ihkre shall be guilty of any misconduct or
      neglect in the discharge of its duties hereunder; or

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      The Company or Ihkre shall become bankrupt or make any
      arrangements or composition with its creditors; or

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      The Principals of the Company or Ihrke shall become of
      unsound mind or be declared incompetent to handle his own personal
      affairs; or

- 6 - 

	 	(e) 	
      The Company or Ihrke shall be convicted of any criminal
      offence other than an offence which, in the reasonable opinion of the
      Board of Directors of the Company, does not affect their position as a
      Consultant or a director of the Company.

This Agreement may also be terminated by either party upon
thirty (30) days written notice to the other. Should the Company terminate this
agreement for a reason not enumerated in items 11(a), 11(b), 11(c), 11(d), or
11(e), Ihrke will be entitled to any all remuneration, as it relates to
transactions which were in process but had not yet closed at the date of his
termination, to which he would have otherwise been entitled for a period of 9
months after the date of his termination. 

12. 

In the event this Agreement is terminated by reason of
default on the part of the Consultant or the written notice of the Company, then
at the request of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Consultant shall
cause Ihrke to forthwith resign any position or office which he then holds with
the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. The provisions of paragraph 9
shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of 2 years
thereafter. 

13. 

The Company is aware that the Consultant has now and will
continue to have financial interests in other companies and properties and the
Company recognizes that these companies and properties will require a certain
portion of the Consultant's time. The Company agrees that the Consultant may
continue to devote time to such outside interests, PROVIDED THAT such interests
do not conflict with or hinder Ihrke’s ability to perform its duties under this
Agreement. 

14. 

The services to be performed by the Consultant pursuant
hereto are personal in character, and neither this Agreement nor any rights or
benefits arising thereunder are assignable by the Consultant without the
previous written consent of the Company. 

15. 

With the express exception of outstanding options granted
to Ihrke as a result of Advisory Services previously performed, and any prior
investment made by Ihrke in the Company, any and all previous agreements,
written or oral, between the parties hereto or on their behalf relating to the agreement between the Consultant and the
Company are hereby terminated and cancelled and each of the parties hereto
hereby releases and forever discharges the other party hereto of and from all
manner of actions, causes of action, claims and demands whatsoever under or in
respect of any such previous agreements. 

- 7 - 

16.

Any notice in
writing or permitted to be given to the Consultant hereunder shall be
sufficiently given if delivered to the Consultant personally or mailed by
registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Consultant as its last
residential address known to the Company. Provided any such notice is mailed via
guaranteed overnight delivery, as aforesaid shall be deemed to have been
received by the Consultant on the first business day following the date of
mailing. Any notice in writing required or permitted to be given to the Company
hereunder shall be given by registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the
Company at the address shown on page 1 hereof. Any such notice mailed as
aforesaid shall be deemed to have been received by the Company on the first
business day following the date of mailing provided such mailing is sent via
guaranteed overnight delivery. Any such address for the giving of notices
hereunder may be changed by notice in writing given hereunder.

17. 

The provisions of this Agreement shall enure to the benefit
of and be binding upon the Consultant and the successors and assigns of the
Company. For this purpose, the terms "successors" and "assigns" shall include
any person, firm or corporation or other entity which at any time, whether by
merger, purchase or otherwise, shall acquire all or substantially all of the
assets or business of the Company. 

18. 

Every provision
of this Agreement is intended to be severable. If any term or provision hereof
is illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity
shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the provisions of this
Agreement. 

19. 

This Agreement is being delivered and is intended to be
managed from the Province of British Columbia and shall be construed and
enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by,
the laws of such Province. Similarly no provision within this contract is deemed
valid should it conflict with the current or future laws of the United States of
America or current or future regulations set forth by the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission. This Agreement may not be changed orally,
but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom or which
enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

to allow it to be settled according to applicable Canadian law in an applicable
British Columbia jurisdiction. 

21. 

This Agreement is in effect for a period of three months
unless otherwise terminated as noted above. This Agreement shall expire on
