Non-Competition. 
 (a) Term of Restrictive Covenants. The term of the restrictive covenants in this Article
III (the “Non-Compete Term”) shall commence on the date hereof and shall terminate two years after the date of termination of Employee, except that the Non-Compete Term shall terminate on such earlier date as determined by the Board of
Directors in its sole and absolute discretion if (i) Employee is terminated by the Company other than for Cause and (ii) such termination does not occur within 30 days after a Change in Control. 

For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred upon the occurrence of one or more of
the following events: (i) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, the Operating Partnership L.P. or the Company to any Person or its

 - 2 -

 (b) Non-Competition. During the Non-Compete Term, Employee shall not, unless acting
as an officer or employee of, or consultant to, the Companies directly or indirectly, (i) own, manage, operate, join, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected as an officer, director,
employee, stockholder, partner, advisor, consultant or otherwise with, or provide any financing or lease any assets to, any entity that engages in or intends to engage in any Competing Business (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) solicit, employ,
retain as a consultant, interfere with or attempt to entice away from the Companies or their respective Affiliates, any Protected Employee (as hereinafter defined), or (iii) solicit, interfere with or attempt to entice away from the Companies
or their respective Affiliates, any Person, firm or corporation which has been or is during the two-year period preceding the date on which a determination is made a customer of the Companies or any of its subsidiaries. Ownership of not more than 2%
of the outstanding stock of any publicly traded company shall not be a violation of this Section 3.1 so long as Employee does not participate in the management of such company. 

As used herein, “Competing Business” shall mean any business or other enterprise which engages in the marine
transportation business or otherwise competes with the Companies; and “Protected Employee” shall mean any current or former employee of the Companies during the period in which the covenants set forth in this Section 3.1 are in
effect, but excluding Persons who have not been employed by the Companies during the two-year period preceding the date on which a determination is made regarding whether a Person is a Protected Employee. 

3.2. Confidentiality. From and after the commencement of the Employment Term, Employee agrees not to divulge, communicate, use to
the detriment of the Companies, for Employee’s benefit or the benefit of any other person, firm, corporation, association or other entity, or misuse in any way, in whole or in part, any proprietary or confidential information or trade secrets
related to the Companies as they may exist from time to time, including, without limitation, the Companies’ trade secrets or other intellectual property rights, personnel information, know-how, customer lists, or other confidential or
proprietary data. Employee acknowledges that the list of the Companies’ customers as it may exist from time to time, and the Companies’ proprietary or confidential information, and trade secrets, are valuable, special and unique assets of
the Companies. Employee acknowledges and agrees that any information or data he has acquired on any of these matters or items was received in confidence. Employee agrees to hold, as the property of the Companies, all memoranda, books, papers,
letters and other data and all copies thereof or therefrom, made by him or otherwise coming into his possession, and at any time to deliver the same to the Companies upon their demand. 

3.3. Reasonable Limitations. Employee acknowledges that given the nature of Employee’s employment with the Companies and of
the Companies’ business the covenants contained in this Article III contain reasonable limitations as to time, geographical area and scope of activity to be restrained, and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the
legitimate business interests of the Companies including, but not limited to, the protection of confidential information. In the event that the covenants contained in this Article III shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
unenforceable by reason of their extending for too long a period of time or over too large a geographical area or by reason of their being too extensive in any other respect, they shall be interpreted to extend only over the 

  
 - 3 -

 longest period of time for which they may be enforceable, and/or over the largest geographical area as to
which they may be enforceable and/or to the maximum extent in all other aspects as to which they may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action. 
 3.4. Breach of Covenants. Violation of any of the protective covenants contained herein shall constitute a breach of trust and is grounds for immediate dismissal with cause and for
appropriate legal action by the Companies for damages including reasonable attorney fees and costs, enforcement and/or injunctive relief. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the parties agree that both parties shall bear joint
and equal responsibility for attorney fees and costs if the Company prevails in any such legal action and that the Company will bear sole responsibility for attorney fees and costs if the Company does not prevail in any such legal action.

 3.5. Extension of Non-Compete Term. The parties acknowledge that if Employee violates any of the protective covenants
in this Article III and the Companies bring legal action for injunctive, damages or other relief hereunder, the Companies shall, as a result of the time involved in obtaining the relief, be deprived of the benefit of the full Non-Compete Term of
these protective covenants. Accordingly, the length of time for which this covenant not to compete shall be in force shall not include any period of violation or any other period required for litigation during which the Companies seek to enforce
this Article III. 
 3.6. Survival of Protective Covenants. Each covenant on the part of Employee contained in this
Article III is independent of any other provision of this Agreement, and shall survive the termination of Employee’s employment under this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Employee against the Companies, whether
based on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not prevent the enforcement based of these covenants. 
 3.7. Remedies for
Breach. Employee agrees that a breach by him of this Article III shall cause irreparable harm to the Companies and that their remedies at law for any breach or threat of breach of the provisions of this Article III shall be inadequate, and that
they shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Article III and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which the Companies may be entitled at law or in equity.

 3.8. Affiliates of the Company. The protective covenants in this Article III shall also benefit the business of the
Companies’ Affiliates (as hereinafter defined) and these covenants shall be enforceable against Employee by each of such Affiliates as third party beneficiaries. An “Affiliate” is any person or entity that, directly or indirectly,
controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Companies.

 Mr. Timothy J. Casey 

President, Chief Executive Officer 
 Dear
Timothy: 
 You and K-Sea Transportation Inc. (the “Company”) are parties to an employment agreement, or another
agreement providing for the payment of compensation (the “Agreement”). The purpose of this letter is (i) to memorialize an amendment of that Agreement to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section

It is the intent of the parties that this amendment will enable the Agreement to comply with Section 409A in both form and
operation. Therefore, effective as of the close of business on December 31, 2008, you and the Company mutually agree to amend the Agreement as follows: 
  

	1.	Any bonus payments or other incentive compensation payments you receive pursuant to the Agreement or any plan, program or policy of the Company Group will be paid no

such plan, program or policy. 

  

	2.	All reimbursements or provision of in-kind benefits pursuant to any employee plan, program, policy or this Agreement shall be made in accordance with Treasury
Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(l)(iv) such that the reimbursement or provision will be deemed payable at a specified time or on a fixed schedule relative to a permissible payment event. Specifically, the amount reimbursed or in-kind benefits provided
under any employee plan, program, policy or this Agreement during your taxable year may not affect the amounts reimbursed or provided in any other taxable year (except that total reimbursements may be limited by a lifetime maximum under a group
health plan), the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made on or before the last day of your taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred, and the right to reimbursement or provision of in-kind benefit is not

 SECOND AMENDMENT 
 TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This Second Amendment to Employment Agreement dated
June 30, 2011 (the “Amendment”), is effective as provided herein, between K-Sea Transportation Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Company”) and Timothy J. Casey (the
“Employee”). 
 BACKGROUND 
 Employee and the Company have entered into an Employment Agreement effective as of January 14, 2004 (the “Original Agreement”) which was amended by letter agreement dated December 29,
2008 (the “First Amendment”). 
 K-Sea Transportation Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“the
Partnership”) the parent of the Company, has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 13, 2011 with Kirby Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Kirby”) pursuant to which a merger subsidiary of Kirby will
merge with and into the Partnership and the Partnership will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Kirby (the “Merger”). 
 Employee and the Company mutually desire to amend the Original Agreement to (i) reflect Employee’s current salary, (ii) extend the term of the Original Agreement to a minimum of one year
following the Merger, and (iii) expand the definition of “Good Reason” in the Original Agreement to provide certain protections to the Employee for one year following the Merger. 

NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, and in consideration of the mutual promises and representations set forth in this
Amendment, the Company and Employee hereby agree to amend the Original Agreement effective immediately prior to the Merger as follows: 
 1. By adding the following to Section 1.1: 

“Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 1.1 to the contrary, unless otherwise terminated earlier
under Article IV of this Agreement, the Employment Term may not be terminated earlier than the first anniversary of the consummation of the merger (the “Merger”) contemplated by the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of
March 13, 2011, by and among Kirby Corporation, a Nevada corporation, (“Kirby”), KSP Holding Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, KSP LP Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, KSP Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company, K-Sea Transportation Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, K-Sea General Partner L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, K-Sea IDR Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and K-Sea General Partner GP
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.” 

 2. By substituting $375,000 as Employee’s annual base salary for the $235,000 currently
reflected in Section 2.1. 
 By substituting the following in as 2.2: “Subject to Article IV of this Agreement, during
the Employment Term the Employee shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus award as established by the Board of Directors of Kirby based upon the financial performance of the Partnership and its subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year.
Employee may also receive additional awards in the amounts and at such times as determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of Kirby.” 
 3. By amending the definition of “Good Reason” set forth in Section 4.5 to read as follows: 
 “Good Reason” shall mean the resignation of Employee after (i) the location of the principal office of the Company is moved outside of a 75-mile radius of the location of the Company on the
date hereof, unless such successor location is mutually agreed upon by the Employee and the Company, (ii) a material diminution in the Employee’s scope of responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to the Merger, if such material
diminution occurs within twelve months of the Merger, or (iii) a material diminution in the Employee’s base salary and bonus opportunity as in effect immediately after the Merger and during the twelve-month period immediately following the
Merger. Employee must notify the Company within ninety days of the initial existence of the events constituting Good Reason and the Company shall have thirty days following receipt of such notice to cure. If the Company does not cure, then the
Employee must resign within 30 days after the expiration of such 30-day cure period, in order for such resignation to be on account of Good Reason.” 
 In all other respects the Original Agreement as amended by the First Amendment thereto shall remain in full force and effect. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Amendment 
  

			
	 K-SEA TRANSPORTATION INC.
