ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease, and the Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”).

Section 1.2 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York at 10:00 a.m. (local time) on the date that is five (5) Business Days following the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time), or such other date, time or place as is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. One (1) Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at or immediately prior to the Closing), each of Parent and the Company shall deliver to each other written confirmation that, (a) to the Knowledge of such party, all conditions to such party’s obligation to effect the Closing set forth in Article VI have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at or immediately prior to the Closing, including the condition set forth in Section 6.2(d)) and (b) such party is committed to effect the Closing subject to the satisfaction or waiver, at the time of Closing, of all of conditions to such party’s obligation to effect the Closing set forth in Article VI) (such confirmation, the “Confirmation”). The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

Section 1.3 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date the parties hereto shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of merger, executed in accordance with, and in such form as is required by, the relevant provisions of the DGCL with respect to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”). The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger or at such later time as is agreed to by the parties hereto and specified in the Certificate of Merger (the time at which the Merger becomes effective is referred to herein as the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.4 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the DGCL.

Section 1.5 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time

to be in the form of (except with respect to the name of the Company (which shall be “Matson Alaska, Inc.”) and any changes necessary so that they shall be in compliance with Section 5.8) the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Merger Sub as of the date hereof and as so amended shall be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law (and subject to Section 5.8).

Section 1.6 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation.

(a) Each of the parties hereto shall take all necessary action to cause the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time to be the directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. At Parent’s request, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain and deliver to Parent the written resignations of each of the directors of the Company, to be effective at the Effective Time.

(b) The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly appointed and qualified or their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

Section 2.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) or any shares of capital stock of Merger Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. Any shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock, and any shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or Merger Sub, shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Subject to Section 2.6, each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and the Dissenting Shares), together with the associated Company Rights, shall thereupon be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive from Parent an amount in cash equal to $0.72, without interest, and subject to any withholding in accordance with Section 2.3(g) (the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and the holders immediately prior to the

Effective Time of shares of Company Common Stock not represented by certificates (“Book-Entry Shares”) and the holders of certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Book-Entry Share or Certificate in accordance with Section 2.3(b) without interest (subject to any withholding in accordance with Section 2.3(g)).

Section 2.2 Treatment of Company Warrants. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, or the Company, each outstanding unexercised warrant to purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Warrants”) shall be canceled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such canceled Company Warrant shall, upon surrender of such canceled Company Warrant, be entitled to receive from Parent, in consideration of the cancellation of such Company Warrant and in settlement therefor, a payment in cash (without interest, and subject to any withholding in accordance with Section 2.3(g)) of an amount equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration (such amounts payable hereunder, the “Warrant Consideration”). From and after the Effective Time, any such canceled Company Warrant shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the Warrant Consideration. Promptly following the date of this Agreement (and in no event later than the date on which the Proxy Statement is first mailed to the Company’s stockholders), the Company shall deliver written notice, in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent, to each holder of a Company Warrant, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Warrant, informing such holders of the effect of the Merger on the Company Warrants. The Company shall provide Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such notice prior to delivery of such notice to the holders of Company Warrants. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary actions to permit the cancelling and exchange of the Company Warrants contemplated by the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2.

Section 2.3 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Paying Agent”) for the purpose of making payment of the Merger Consideration and, subject to Section 2.3(h), the Warrant Consideration to holders of Company Common Stock and Company Warrants, respectively, and enter into an agreement, reasonably acceptable to the Company, with the Paying Agent relating to the services to be performed by the Paying Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent a cash amount in immediate available funds sufficient for the Paying Agent to make all of the payments contemplated by Section 2.1(c) and, subject to Section 2.3(h), Section 2.2 (such cash amount, the “Exchange Fund”). The Paying Agent shall invest the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent solely in (i) short-term direct obligations of the United States of America or (ii) short-term obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for the payment of principal and interest. Any interest and other income from such investments shall become part of the Exchange Fund held by the Paying Agent for purposes of paying the Merger

Consideration and, subject to Section 2.3(h), the Warrant Consideration. No investment by the Paying Agent of the Exchange Fund shall relieve Parent or the Paying Agent from making the payments required by this Article II and Parent shall promptly replace any funds deposited with the Paying Agent lost through any investment made pursuant to this Section 2.3(a). No investment by the Paying Agent of the Exchange Fund shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement. Following the Effective Time, subject to Section 2.3(h), Parent agrees to make available to the Paying Agent, from time to time as needed, additional cash to pay the Merger Consideration and the Warrant Consideration as contemplated by this Article II without interest.

(b) Payment Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event more than two (2) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Company Common Stock (i) a letter of transmittal (which, in the case of shares of Company Common Stock represented by Certificates, shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent, and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree and shall be prepared prior to Closing) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Paying Agent or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request), together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions (and such other customary documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent), the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, subject to any withholding Taxes in accordance with Section 2.3(g), the Merger Consideration, without interest, for each share of Company Common Stock surrendered, and any Certificates surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that (A) the Person requesting such exchange present proper evidence of transfer or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share surrendered or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.3, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II, without interest.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. The Merger Consideration paid in respect of shares of Company Common Stock upon the surrender for exchange in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock, and at the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates or Book-

Entry Shares that evidenced ownership of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, at any time after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article II.

(e) Termination of Exchange Fund. At any time following the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) that had been made available to the Paying Agent and which have not been disbursed in accordance with this Article II, and thereafter Persons entitled to receive payment pursuant to this Article II shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the payment of any Merger Consideration or Warrant Consideration, that may be payable upon surrender of any Company Common Stock or Company Warrant held by such holders, as determined pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Company or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person for any Merger Consideration or Warrant Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) Withholding Taxes. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts are required to be deducted and withheld from such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or under any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Law related to Taxes. To the extent amounts are so withheld and paid over to the applicable taxing authority, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(h) Alternative Payment Procedure for Company Warrants. Prior to the Closing, the parties shall cooperate with each other in good faith and consult with the Paying Agent and the Warrant Agent for Company Warrants regarding the payment procedure for Company Warrants. Following such consultation and if mutually agreed by Parent and the Company, the parties may use the Warrant Agent to process payment of the Warrant Consideration to holders of Company Warrants, in which case Parent shall, at or prior to the Effective Time, deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Warrant Agent (rather than the Paying Agent) a cash amount in immediate available funds sufficient to pay the Warrant Consideration in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.3.

Section 2.4 Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time which are held by a stockholder who did not vote in favor of the Merger (or consent thereto in writing) and who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Stockholders”) shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration (the “Dissenting Shares”), but instead such Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (and at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and such Dissenting Stockholder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL), unless and until such Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost rights to appraisal under the DGCL. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, such Dissenting Stockholder’s shares of Company Common Stock shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration for each such share of Company Common Stock, in accordance with Section 2.1, without any interest thereon and less any withholding Taxes in accordance with Section 2.3(g). The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

Section 2.5 Treatment of Equity Awards.

(a) Each option that represents the right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock issued pursuant to any Company Stock Plan (each, a “Company Option”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether or not then vested or exercisable) shall at the Effective Time automatically (and without any further action being required on the part of the holders thereof) be canceled and terminated at the Effective Time in exchange for the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest, and subject to any applicable withholding in accordance with Section 2.3(g)) equal to the product of (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective

Time, multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, that if the exercise price per share of any such Company Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Option shall be canceled without any cash payment being made in respect thereof.

(b) Each share of Company Common Stock issued pursuant to any Company Stock Plan that is subject to specified vesting criteria (each, a share of “Restricted Stock”) and that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, become fully vested and be treated in accordance with Section 2.1. In addition to any other withholding rights of the Company, any withholding Taxes arising from such vesting may be withheld from the consideration otherwise payable with respect to such shares pursuant to Section 2.3(g).

(c) Each restricted stock unit with respect to shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company RSU”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, be converted into a vested right to receive cash in an amount equal to the Merger Consideration (without interest, and subject to any withholding in accordance with Section 2.3(g)) and shall be paid in accordance with the award agreement governing such Company RSU.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary actions to permit the treatment of the Company Options, Restricted Stock and Company RSUs contemplated by the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5. No later than the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to the Surviving Corporation all funds necessary to fulfill the payment obligations under this Section 2.5. All payments required under this Section 2.5 shall be made by the Surviving Corporation to the individual recipients through its payroll processing system as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing.

Section 2.6 Adjustments. If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the (a) aggregate number of outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, (b) aggregate number of shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of any Company Warrants or Company Options, or (c) number of Company RSUs outstanding shall occur as a result of (i) any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, (ii) any stock dividend or stock distribution with a record date during such period, or (iii) any issuance of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock upon the exercise or exchange of Company Rights following a Triggering Event (as defined in the Company Rights Agreement), then the amount of the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted so that the aggregate amount of Merger Consideration payable by Parent to all security holders of the Company pursuant to this Article II (including the Company Warrants, Company Options, Restricted Stock and Company RSUs) is not affected by any such change; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.6 shall be deemed to permit or authorize the Company to effect any such change that it is not otherwise authorized or permitted to undertake pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.7 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company shall amend the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) to provide that no new Purchase Period (as defined therein) shall commence after the date hereof and, therefore, that eligible employees or participants in the

ESPP cannot authorize any contributions under the ESPP after the date hereof and no shares of Company Common Stock shall be issued under the ESPP after the date hereof.

ARTICLE III

The Company has made available to Parent, to the extent applicable, current, correct and complete copies of (i) each Disclosed Company Plan, (ii) the three most recent annual reports on Form 5500 required to be filed with the IRS with respect to each Company Plan (if any such report was required), (iii) the most recent summary plan description for each Company Plan for which such summary plan description is required (together with any summary of material modifications, if applicable), (iv) each trust agreement and insurance or group annuity contract relating to any Company Plan, and (v) all material documents and written correspondence relating to each Company Plan received from or provided to the U.S. Department of Labor, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, the IRS or any other Governmental Authority since January 1, 2012.

(b) Each Company Plan has been established, maintained, funded and administered in all material respects in compliance with its terms and in compliance in form and in operation with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and all other applicable Laws. There are no pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened Actions (other than claims for benefits in the ordinary course) with respect to, or any Liens filed against or with respect to, any Company Plans, other than claims made in the ordinary course of business which are not, individually or in the aggregate, material. All contributions required to be made by the Company and its Subsidiaries have been timely made in compliance with applicable Law with respect to all Company Plans, and there are no material unfunded obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any Company Plan that are not accurately reflected in the Company’s financial statements and accrued in accordance with GAAP.

(c) All Company Plans, other than any “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA) that are “employee pension benefit plans” (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA) that are intended to be Tax qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (each, a “Company Pension Plan”) have received a favorable determination letter from the IRS on which the Company may currently rely, or has filed a timely application therefor. The Company has made available to Parent a correct and complete copy of the most recent determination letter received with respect to each Company Pension Plan, as well as a correct and complete copy of each pending application for a determination letter, if any. To the Knowledge of the Company, no fact exists or Event has occurred since the date of such letter or letters from the IRS that would reasonably be expected to result in the loss of the qualified status of any such Company Plan or the exempt status of any such trust.

(d) Except as set forth on Section 3.10(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the Company nor any trade or business, whether or not incorporated, that together with the Company would be deemed a “single employer” within the meaning of Section 4001(b) of ERISA (including any entity that during the past six (6) years was a Subsidiary of the Company) (each such entity, an “ERISA Affiliate”) has now or at any time within the previous six (6) years contributed to, sponsored, or maintained a multiemployer plan (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA) or a plan subject to section 302 or Title IV of ERISA or section 412 of the Code. The Company and each ERISA Affiliate have satisfied the minimum funding standards under Section 412 or Section 430 of the Code or Section 302 or Section 303 of ERISA. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any withdrawal liability with respect to a complete or partial withdrawal from any Company Plan that is a “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA). No Company Plan is a “multiple employer welfare arrangement” as such term is defined in Section 3(40)(A) of ERISA.

(e) Except as set forth on Section 3.10(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions will not, either alone or in combination with another Event, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) entitle any current or former employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company to severance pay, unemployment compensation or any other payment from the Company or any of its Affiliates under any Company Plan, (ii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or increase the amount of compensation or otherwise enhance any benefit due any such employee, officer, director or consultant, or (iii) otherwise trigger any material obligations or penalties under, breach of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, any Company Plan (other than any “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA)). Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company is in material breach of or material default under the terms of any Company Plan. To the Knowledge of the Company, no other party to any Company Plan is in material breach of or material default under the terms of any Company Plan.

(f) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any Contract, arrangement or plan (including any Company Plan) that has resulted or would result, separately or in the aggregate, in connection with the Transactions (either alone or in combination with any other Events), in the payment of any “excess parachute payments” to any “disqualified individual”, in each case within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code. There is no Contract, plan or other arrangement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party which provides for a gross-up in respect of taxes or other penalties imposed pursuant to Section 409A or 4999 of the Code.

(g) All premiums or other payments that are required to be paid have been timely paid with respect to each such Company Plan that is an employee welfare benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA, whether or not such Company Plan is subject to ERISA) or are accurately accrued and reflected in the Company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Except as set forth on Section 3.10(g) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, no Company Plan provides health or welfare benefits (whether or not insured), with respect to current or former employees or directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries beyond their retirement or other termination of service, other than health continuation coverage as required by

Section 4980B of the Code, the full cost of which is borne by the current or former employee or director.

(h) No fiduciary or party in interest of any Company Plan has participated in, engaged in or been a party to any transaction that is prohibited under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA and not exempt under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 408 of ERISA, respectively, or has otherwise acted or failed to act with respect to any Company Plan in a manner, in either case, that could reasonably be expected to subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any material liability under ERISA or any other applicable Law.

(i) With respect to each Company Plan that is not subject exclusively to United States Law (a “Non-U.S. Benefit Plan”): (i) all employer and employee contributions to each Non-U.S. Benefit Plan required by applicable Law or by the terms of such Non-U.S. Benefit Plan or pursuant to any other contractual obligation (including contributions to all mandatory provident fund schemes) have been timely made in accordance with applicable Law or accurately accrued and reflected on the Company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP; (ii) from and after the Closing, such funds, accruals or reserves under the Non-U.S. Benefit Plans shall be used exclusively to satisfy benefit obligations accrued under such Non-U.S. Benefit Plans or else shall remain or revert to Parent and its Affiliates in accordance with the terms of such Non-U.S. Benefit Plan or applicable Law; and (iii) each Non-U.S. Benefit Plan required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities.

(j) For each Company Plan which is a “group health plan” within the meaning of Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code, the Company has complied in all material respects with the notice and continuation coverage requirements of Section 4980B of the Code, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, and Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and the regulations thereunder.

(k) Neither the Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has any legally binding plan or commitment to create any additional Company Plans or modify or change any existing Company Plans that would affect any employee or terminated employee of the Company or any employee or terminated employee providing services to the Company.

the Company Charter Documents, duly call and give notice of, and convene and hold, a meeting of its stockholders to consider the adoption of the Merger Agreement and such other matters as may be then legally required (including any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “Company Stockholders Meeting”); provided, however, that the Company shall be permitted to delay or postpone convening the Company Stockholders Meeting (i) with the consent of Parent, (ii) for the absence of a quorum, (iii) to allow reasonable additional time for any supplemental or amended disclosure which the Company has determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) is necessary under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the Company’s stockholders prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting, or (iv) to allow additional solicitation of votes as may be necessary in order to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval.

(c) The Company shall, through the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof), but subject to the right of the Company Board to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 5.3, (i) recommend to its stockholders that the Company Stockholder Approval be given (the “Company Board Recommendation”) and (ii) include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement and, unless there has been a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company shall use all reasonable lawful action to solicit the Company Stockholder Approval. The Company shall provide Parent with such information with respect to the solicitation of the Company Stockholder Approval as is reasonably requested by Parent.

Section 5.3 No Solicitation; Change in Recommendation.

(a) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.3, (i) the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees and other Representatives to, immediately cease all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person or group of Persons with respect to any Alternative Proposal and (ii) until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date (if any) on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and employees and other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (A) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate (including by way of furnishing non-public information) any inquiries regarding, or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Alternative Proposal, (B) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions (except to notify such Person of the existence of the provisions of this Section 5.3) or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any non-public material information in connection with, any Alternative Proposal, or (C) enter into any Contract or agreement in principle with respect to an Alternative Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective Representatives receives an Alternative Proposal, the Company, the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) and their Representatives may engage in negotiations and discussions with, or furnish any information and other access to, any Person making such Alternative Proposal and any of its Representatives (including potential sources of financing) if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors, that such Alternative

Proposal is or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal; provided, that prior to furnishing any material non-public information to any such Person, the Company receives from the Person making such Alternative Proposal an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement. Upon the receipt of any such Alternative Proposal, the Company shall promptly notify Parent in writing, provide Parent a copy of any such Alternative Proposal made in writing and provided to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and communicate in writing the material terms of such Alternative Proposal to Parent. The Company will keep Parent apprised on a prompt basis (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) of the status of any Alternative Proposal, including any material developments (including a change in price), material discussions or material negotiations regarding any Alternative Proposal.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Company Board shall not (i)(A) change, qualify, withdraw or modify, or publicly propose to change, qualify, withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation, (B) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (C) take any action or make any recommendation or public statement in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer other than a recommendation against such offer or a temporary “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act, in each case, that includes reaffirmation of the Company Board Recommendation and a reaffirmation of the approval by the Company Board of this Agreement, the Merger and the Transactions, or (D) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, to the stockholders of the Company an Alternative Proposal (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to herein as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) authorize the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, merger, acquisition or similar definitive Contract providing for an Alternative Proposal.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Superior Proposal and/or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) only if (i) the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; (ii) the Company provides Parent prior written notice of its intent to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Superior Proposal or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) at least four (4) Business Days prior to taking such action, which notice shall include the material terms of the Superior Proposal, the identity of the party making such Superior Proposal and copies of any proposed transaction Contracts and related material documents with respect to such Superior Proposal (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) (it being understood that such Notice of Superior Proposal shall not in itself be deemed a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and that any material revision or amendment to the terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and, in such case, all references to four (4) Business Days in this Section 5.3(d) shall be deemed to refer to three (3) Business Days instead); (iii) during such four (4) Business Day period, if requested by Parent, the Company negotiates, and causes its legal counsel and financial advisors to negotiate, with Parent and its Representatives in good faith and, if agreed between the Company and Parent, to make such modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that such Alternative Proposal

would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal; (iv) Parent has not, within such four (4) Business Day period, made a written, binding and irrevocable offer capable of being accepted by the Company to alter the terms or conditions of this Agreement such that such Alternative Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal; and (v) the Company Board, after taking into account any modifications to the terms of this Agreement and the Merger agreed to by Parent and Merger Sub after receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal, continues to believe, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that such Alternative Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal.

(e) Subject to the proviso in this Section 5.3(e), nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or making a statement contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act, (ii) informing any Person of the existence of the provisions contained in this Section 5.3, or (iii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the stockholders of the Company); provided, that neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change unless the applicable requirements of Section 5.3(d) shall have been satisfied.

(f) As used in this Agreement, “Alternative Proposal” shall mean any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub and any of Affiliates thereof) relating to, or that is reasonably expected to lead to, any purchase or acquisition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company related to the Company’s Alaska properties, Vessels, finances and businesses, whether alone or together with other assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other business combination, sale of shares of capital stock, tender offer, exchange offer or similar transaction.

(g) As used in this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written Alternative Proposal on terms which the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and independent financial advisors, to be more favorable to the holders of Company Common Stock from a financial point of view than the Transaction, taking into account, to the extent applicable, the legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal and this Agreement (including any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent in accordance with Section 5.3(d)) that the Company Board considers relevant.

Section 5.4 Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties agrees to use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Transactions, including, without limitation, using reasonable best efforts to accomplish the following: (i) obtain all required consents, approvals or waivers from, or participation in other discussions or negotiations with, third parties; (ii) obtain all

necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, approvals, Orders and authorizations from Governmental Authorities, make all necessary registrations, declarations and filings and take all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid any commencement or proposed or threatened commencement of any investigation, litigation or administrative or judicial action or proceeding under Antitrust Laws with respect to the Transactions (“Antitrust Proceedings”) by, any Governmental Authority; (iii) vigorously resist and contest any Action, including any Antitrust Proceeding, and seek to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that is in effect and that could restrict, prevent or prohibit consummation of the Transactions, including, without limitation, by vigorously pursuing all avenues of administrative and judicial appeal; and (iv) execute and deliver any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions, and fully to carry out the purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall commit to the payment of any fee, penalty or other consideration or make any other concession, waiver or amendment under any Contract in connection with obtaining any consent without the prior written consent of Parent.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing: (i) each party hereto agrees to (A) make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act, if applicable, with respect to the Transactions as soon as practicable and in any event within thirty (30) Business Days after the date hereof (unless the parties otherwise agree to a different date), (B) supply as soon as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act or pursuant to any civil investigation demand, subpoena or similar request from the Federal Trade Commission or Department of Justice, and (C) use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all other actions consistent with this Section 5.4 necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act (including any extensions thereof) as soon as practicable and (ii) each party agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions consistent with this Section 5.4 as necessary to obtain any other necessary Permit or other actions or nonactions from each Governmental Authority as soon as practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, obligations relating to “reasonable best efforts” and “as soon as practicable” in this Section 5.4 shall, among other things, mean using reasonable best efforts to be prepared to complete a certification of compliance with any request for additional information issued by the Department of Justice or Federal Trade Commission in connection with the Transactions (“Second Request”) as soon as practicable.

(c) Each of the Company and Parent shall furnish to each other party such necessary information and reasonable assistance as such other party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. Subject to applicable Laws and reasonable guidance from each party’s antitrust counsel relating to the exchange of information, Parent and the Company shall each have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each shall consult with the other in connection with, all of the information relating to Parent or the Company, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions.

(d) Subject to applicable Laws, the instructions of any Governmental Authority and reasonable guidance from each party’s antitrust counsel relating to the exchange

of information, the Company and Parent shall keep each other reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Transactions and the Precedent Transaction, including promptly informing the other of, and/or furnishing the other with copies of, notices or other material communications received by the Company or Parent, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, from any Governmental Authority and/or third party with respect to such transactions.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 5.1(b), nothing in this Agreement shall require, or be deemed to require, Parent or Merger Sub to agree to or effect (i) any direct or indirect sale, charter (in whole or any portion), lease, change or limitation in operation, divestiture, license, holding separate or other disposition of any Vessel (whether or not acquired hereunder); (ii) any action that would reasonably be expected to impair the value of the Transactions to Parent in any material respect; or (iii) any action that would reasonably be expected to have any adverse effect on Parent’s (or any of its Subsidiaries’) existing assets or businesses as conducted as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date.

Section 5.5 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by Parent and the Company. In addition, the Company shall not approve or issue and release any press release with respect to the Contribution, Assumption and Purchase Agreement without the prior written approval of Parent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Following such initial press release(s), Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the Transactions and/or the Precedent Transaction and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as such party may reasonably conclude may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system (and then only after as much advance notice and consultation as is feasible); provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.5 shall not apply to any release or public statement (a) made or proposed to be made by the Company in connection with an Alternative Proposal, a Superior Proposal or a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or any action taken pursuant thereto or (b) in connection with any dispute between the parties regarding this Agreement or the Transactions; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not limit the ability of any party hereto to make internal announcements to their respective employees and other stockholders that are not inconsistent in any material respects with the prior public disclosures regarding the Transactions.

Section 5.6 Access to Information; Confidentiality; Notification of Certain Matters.

(a) Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, from the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford Parent and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ officers, employees, agents, properties, books, financial statements, forecasts and other financial data, Tax Returns, Contracts, litigation files and other records and the Company shall furnish promptly such other documents and

information concerning its business, personnel, assets, liabilities and properties as Parent and its Representatives may reasonably request, which shall include, without limitation, in-person meetings and conference calls between operational and functional business unit personnel of Parent and the Company, as reasonably requested by Parent, to prepare and make arrangements for Closing and post-Closing matters; provided, that Parent and its Representatives shall conduct any such activities in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, further, that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be obligated to provide such access or information if the Company determines, in its reasonable judgment after consultation with outside counsel, that doing so would violate applicable Law or a Contract or obligation of confidentiality owing to a third party, jeopardize the protection of the attorney-client privilege, or expose such party to risk of liability for disclosure of sensitive or personal information. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall have no obligation to provide access for, and neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates or Representatives shall have the right to perform, any sampling or analysis of soil, groundwater, building materials, effluent, indoor air or other environmental media commonly known as Phase II environmental assessment work. Until the Effective Time, the information provided will be subject to the terms of the confidentiality letter agreement, dated as of December 27, 2013, between Parent and the Company (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and Company shall not, and Parent and Company shall cause their respective Representatives not to, use such information for any purpose unrelated to the consummation of the Transactions. No investigation pursuant to this Section 5.6(a) or information provided, made available or delivered to Parent pursuant to this Agreement shall affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants, rights or remedies, or the conditions to the obligations of, the parties hereunder.

(b) Until the Closing, the Company and Parent shall promptly notify each other in writing of (i) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions, (ii) any other substantive notice or communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions, (iii) any Action commenced or, to such party’s Knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its Subsidiaries which relates to the Transactions, or (iv) any Event, fact, change, condition, circumstance or occurrence or nonoccurrence of any Event (A) that (x) with respect to any representation or warranty that is qualified as to materiality, Non-Hawaii Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, renders or would reasonably be expected to render any representation or warranty of such party set forth in this Agreement (disregarding any materiality qualification contained therein) to be untrue or inaccurate in any respect or (y) with respect to any representation or warranty that is not qualified as to materiality, Non-Hawaii Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, renders or would reasonably be expected to render any representation or warranty of such party set forth in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or (B) that results or would reasonably be expected to result in any failure of such party to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or Contract (including any condition set forth in Article VI) to be complied with or satisfied hereunder; provided, however, that no such notification pursuant to this Section 5.6(b) or information provided shall affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants, rights or

remedies, or the conditions to the obligations of, the parties hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with (x) an updated Section 3.16(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule setting forth any and all Contracts that, as of the date of such supplement, would have been required to be set forth on Section 3.16(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule had the date of this Agreement been the date of such supplement and (y) updated Sections 3.2(a) and (b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule setting forth such information that, as of the date of such supplement, would have been required to be set forth on Sections 3.2(a) and (b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule had the date of this Agreement been the date of such supplement. Such supplement shall not be deemed to cure any breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement or have any effect for purposes of determining the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 or the compliance by the Company with any covenant set forth herein (other than this Section 5.6). Each party acknowledges and agrees that the failure to notify the other party of any breach of a representation or warranty or to provide the disclosure supplement pursuant to this Section 5.6(b) on its own shall be treated only as a breach of the applicable representation or warranty for purposes of Article VI and not a breach of a covenant or obligation in this Section 5.6(b).

Section 5.7 Takeover Laws. The Company and the Company Board shall each (a) use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that no state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to the Transactions and (b) if any state takeover statute or similar statute becomes applicable to the Transactions, use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Transactions.

Section 5.8 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless each current and former director, officer and employee of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnitee” and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) against all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, costs (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) and expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with any actual or threatened Action (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) (each, a “Claim”), whenever asserted, arising out of, relating to or in connection with any action or omission relating to their position with the Company or its Subsidiaries occurring or alleged to have occurred before or at the Effective Time (including any Claim relating in whole or in part to the Agreement or the Transactions), to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law and (ii) assume all obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Indemnitees in respect of limitation of liability, exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses as provided in (A) the Company Charter Documents and the Subsidiary Charter Documents, if applicable, listed on Section 5.8 of the Company Disclosure Schedule and (B) any indemnification agreements listed on Section 5.8 of the Company Disclosure Schedule with an Indemnitee, which shall in each case survive the Transactions and continue in full force and effect to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time until six (6) years from the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving

Corporation to include provisions for limitation of liabilities of directors and officers, indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of the Indemnitees no less favorable to the Indemnitees than as set forth in the Company Charter Documents in effect on the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees except as required by applicable Law.

(b) For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain in effect the coverage provided by the policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance in effect as of the date hereof maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time either through the Company’s existing insurance provider or another provider reasonably selected by the Surviving Corporation; provided, however, that, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof in respect of the coverages required to be obtained pursuant hereto, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount; provided, further, that in lieu of the foregoing insurance coverage, the Company may purchase “tail” insurance coverage, at a cost no greater than the aggregate amount which the Surviving Corporation would be permitted to spend during the six-year period provided for in this Section 5.8(b), that provides coverage no materially less favorable than the coverage described above.

(c) The provisions of this Section 5.8 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for or limitation of, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.8 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 5.8 applies unless (A) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (B) the affected Indemnitee shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 5.8 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.8).

(d) In the event that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 5.8.

Section 5.9 Transaction Litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in, and review and comment on all material filings or responses to be made by the Company in, the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company or any of its directors or officers relating to this Agreement, the Transactions or the Contribution, Assumption and Purchase Agreement, and no such settlement of any stockholder litigation shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that Parent shall not be obligated to consent to any

settlement which (a) does not include full release of Parent and each of its Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and any of its Affiliates), (b) imposes any restriction, injunction or other equitable relief upon Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and any of its Affiliates), or (c) involves anything other than the payment of monetary damages and attorneys’ fees not to exceed $5,000,000 individually or in the aggregate. Each of Parent and the Company shall notify the other promptly (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours) of the commencement of any such stockholder litigation of which it has received notice.

Section 5.10 Exemption from Section 16. The Company shall take all steps reasonably necessary to cause the Transactions, including any dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities with respect to such equity securities of the Company) by each individual who is or will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 5.11 Employee Matters.

(a) This Section 5.11 shall apply only to each employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, excluding those employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who are defined as “Hawaii Employees” (including for the avoidance of doubt, Hawaii Employees of Sea-Logix or HSI) under the Contribution, Assumption and Purchase Agreement (“Company Employees”); provided, however, only Sections 5.11(d), (f) and (g) shall apply to Company Employees who are Represented Employees. For a period of one (1) year following the Effective Time, (i) Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each Company Employee, both (A) annual base salary or base wages, and (B) annual cash incentive compensation opportunities, that are no less favorable than such compensation arrangements in effect as of the Effective Time and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide other employee benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the employee benefits (including equity awards or other forms of long-term incentive compensation) provided to the Company Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide Company Employees whose employment terminates during the one (1) year period following the Effective Time with severance benefits at levels no less favorable than and pursuant to the terms of the Company’s current severance policies or, if more favorable, then as required by applicable local Law.

(b) Parent shall (or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or another of its Subsidiaries to) use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, to provide that for all purposes (including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits but not for purposes of defined benefit pension accrual) under the employee benefit plans of Parent and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Company Employee after the Effective Time (including the Company Plans) (the “New Plans”), each Company Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Company Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Disclosed Company Plan in which such Company Employee participated or was eligible to

participate immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall (or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or another of its Subsidiaries to) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that (i) each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is replacing comparable coverage under a Disclosed Company Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Company Employee, Parent (or the Surviving Corporation or another of Parent’s Subsidiaries) shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents, to the extent such conditions were inapplicable or waived under the comparable Old Plans of the Company or its Subsidiaries in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall (or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or another of its Subsidiaries to) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by any Company Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such Company Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honor all obligations under the Disclosed Company Plans to any Company Employee for the period ending at the Effective Time and any additional period at or after the Effective Time during which such Disclosed Company Plan remains in effect, and Parent acknowledges and agrees that the Transactions shall be deemed to constitute a “change in control,” “change of control,” “corporate transaction” or similar term under each such Disclosed Company Plan.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, with respect to each Company Employee whose terms and conditions of employment are covered by a collective bargaining agreement to or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is bound, each such applicable collective bargaining agreement (each, a “Represented Employee”) shall govern such Represented Employee’s terms and conditions of employment (including compensation and benefits) for so long as such collective bargaining agreement remains in effect in accordance with, or as otherwise required by, applicable Law.

(e) Parent acknowledges and agrees that each employee listed on Section 5.11(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall have “good reason” (or other similar term) to terminate employment immediately after the Effective Time and that any notice requirement or cure provision is hereby waived.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) be treated as an amendment to any Company Plan, (ii) obligate Parent or the Surviving Corporation to (A) maintain any particular Company Plan or

any other benefit plan, program or arrangement or (B) retain the employment of any particular employee for any specified period of time, or (iii) prevent Parent or the Surviving Corporation from amending or terminating any Company Plan or any other benefit plan, program or arrangement.

(g) Nothing in this Section 5.11 shall create any third-party beneficiary right in any Person other than the parties to this Agreement, including any current or former Company Employee, any participant in any Company Plan, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or any right to continued employment of any Person with the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates.

(h) The Company shall terminate all of its cash bonus and similar cash-based incentive compensation plans, programs or arrangements set forth on Section 5.11(h) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Company Incentive Plans”) immediately prior to the Effective Time and provide Parent, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, with a schedule by individual recipient of any and all payments to be made thereunder based on (i) for the quarterly bonus, the actual performance for the Company’s then current fiscal quarter through the Effective Time and pro-rated for the number of days worked in the fiscal quarter during which the Effective Time occurs and (ii) for the full year bonus (without duplication of the amount payable pursuant to the preceding clause (i)), the actual performance for the Company’s then current fiscal year through the Effective Time and pro-rated for the number of days worked in the fiscal year during which the Effective Time occurs. For avoidance of doubt, any payments are to be made only to recipients who are Company Employees, and no payments shall be made in connection with or following the Closing under any Company Incentive Plan for performance based on any period of time other than the fiscal quarter during which the Closing occurs. All payments required to be made under the Company Incentive Plans in connection with this Section 5.11(h) shall be made as soon as practicable following the Effective Time by the Surviving Corporation through its payroll processing system.

Section 5.14 Treatment of Existing Indebtedness.

(a) As part of the Transactions, the Company shall redeem all outstanding Secured Notes on the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of the Secured Notes and the applicable Secured Notes Indentures (the “Redemption”).

The Company shall take all actions necessary to effect the Redemption in accordance with the terms of the Secured Notes Indentures, including, without limitation, Section 3.01, Section 3.03 and Section 3.05 of each of the Secured Notes Indentures, and shall send the required notices of redemption in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent (collectively, the “Redemption Notices”) on or before the date specified by Parent in writing, which date shall be on or after the date of termination or expiration of all waiting periods applicable to the Merger under the HSR Act. The Redemption Notices shall provide that Redemption shall occur on the Closing Date but may be contingent on the occurrence of the Closing. Concurrently with the Effective Time, the Company shall cause, or cause its Subsidiaries to cause, to be redeemed all outstanding Secured Notes in accordance with the Redemption Notices and the terms and conditions of the Secured Notes Indentures, including Section 3.07 of each of the Secured Notes Indentures. On the Closing Date substantially contemporaneously with the Redemption, all Liens securing Indebtedness related to the Secured Notes shall be released pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Parent.

(b) As part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company shall, on or before the date specified by Parent in writing (which date shall be at least thirty (30) Business Days after the date hereof), commence a tender offer and Consent Solicitation for all of the outstanding Convertible Notes pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture (the “Tender Offer”). The purchase price offered to holders of the Convertible Notes in the Tender Offer shall be 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, and the Tender Offer shall contain the other terms and conditions set forth in Section 5.14(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(i) Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in connection with the Tender Offer. Promptly after the date of this Agreement, Parent or its Representatives shall prepare all necessary and appropriate documentation in connection with the Tender Offer, any related letters of transmittal, notice and other related documents (collectively, the “Debt Offering Documents”) and such documents shall be compliant with the terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent. Parent and the Company shall cooperate with each other in the preparation of the Debt Offering Documents. All mailings to the holders of the Convertible Notes in connection with the Tender Offer shall be subject to the prior review and comment by each of the Company and Parent and/or their Representatives, and shall be reasonably acceptable to each of them. The consummation of the Tender Offer will not be a condition to the Closing. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to Parent or the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, is discovered by Parent or the Company which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any of the Debt Offering Documents so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any

material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and, to the extent required by applicable Law, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and/or disseminated to the respective holders of the Convertible Notes (subject to this Section 5.14(b)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.14(b), the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-l under the Exchange Act and any other applicable Law to the extent such Law is applicable in connection with the Tender Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any applicable Law conflict with this Section 5.14(b), the Company shall comply with the applicable Law and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations hereunder by such compliance.

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, “Consent Solicitation” shall mean a solicitation of the Requested Consents from the holders of the Convertible Notes, and “Requested Consents” shall mean the consents of holders of the specified percentage in principal amount of the Convertible Notes to the amendments to the Convertible Notes Indenture as described in Section 5.14(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. Promptly upon the receipt of the Requested Consents with respect to the Convertible Notes Indenture, the Company shall enter into a supplemental indenture reflecting the amendments to such indenture approved by such Requested Consents and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the trustee for the Convertible Notes to promptly enter into such supplemental indenture (including using its reasonable best efforts to deliver, and to cause its counsel to deliver, any required certificates and opinions of counsel that will be reasonably required by the trustee in connection with such supplemental indenture). Neither the receipt of the Requested Consents nor the execution of the supplemental indenture referred to in the preceding sentence shall be a condition to the Closing.

(iii) The Company’s and the Surviving Corporation’s obligation to accept for payment and pay for the Convertible Notes tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer shall be subject to the conditions that (x) the Merger shall have occurred (or Parent and the Company shall each be satisfied that the Closing will occur substantially concurrently with such acceptance and payment and/or exchange), (y) there shall be no Order prohibiting the consummation of the Tender Offer, and (z) such other conditions as are customary for transactions similar to the Tender Offer.

(c) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver all notices and take all other actions reasonably necessary to effect the termination of commitments and the repayment of all outstanding obligations under the Company Credit Facilities in accordance with the terms of the Payoff Letters (defined below). Prior to the Closing, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to negotiate and seek to obtain the following payoff and lien release

documents (such documents, collectively, “Payoff and Lien Release Documents”) (it being understood that Parent and its Representatives shall be afforded the opportunity to review and comment on the Payoff and Lien Release Documents):

(i) Mortgage Release Documents in recordable form and appropriate documentation releasing any recorded Liens on the Vessels;

(ii) payoff letters to effect the full repayment and discharge of the Company Credit Facilities (collectively, the “Payoff Letters” and each, a “Payoff Letter”), with the respective agents under such Company Credit Facilities, each Payoff Letter (A) indicating the total amount required to be paid to fully satisfy all outstanding and unpaid principal, interest, prepayment premiums, penalties, breakage costs, attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses, or similar outstanding and unpaid obligations related to all indebtedness and other obligations owed under the respective Company Credit Facility as of the anticipated Closing Date (and the daily accrual thereafter) (the “Payoff Amount”), (B) stating that upon receipt of the Payoff Amount (and, in the case of the $20M Term Loan, payment in full of the debt and other outstanding obligations owed by the Company and its Subsidiaries under the $75M Term Loan and the Secured Notes referred to in clause (a) of the definition thereof), such Company Credit Facility and related notes, guaranties, security agreements and other instruments supporting the repayment of such Company Credit Facility shall be terminated (except for obligations that by the terms of such Company Credit Facility survive such termination), and (C) stating that all Liens on the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries securing the obligations under such Company Credit Facility shall be, upon the payment by the Company or Parent of the Payoff Amount on the Closing Date (and, in the case of the $20M Term Loan, payment in full by the Company or Parent of the debt and other outstanding obligations owed by the Company and its Subsidiaries under the $75M Term Loan and the Secured Notes referred to in clause (a) of the definition thereof), released;

(iii) Lien release documentation with respect to the Company Credit Facilities and the Secured Notes (collectively, the “Secured Indebtedness”), including (A) unconditional satisfactions of vessel mortgages with respect to each of the Non-Hawaii Vessels with respect to which a mortgage was filed securing the obligations under such Secured Indebtedness, in recordable form, (B) a UCC termination statement for any financing statement filed in connection with such Indebtedness, and (C) unconditional releases of any other Liens granted pursuant to the terms of such Indebtedness or pursuant to any document executed and delivered in connection with such Indebtedness, including in respect of any cash collateral or other accounts held by the lenders of such Indebtedness (it being understood that such satisfactions, UCC termination statements and releases shall be conditioned on receipt of the applicable Payoff Amounts described in Section 5.14(c)(ii) above and the redemption of the applicable Secured Notes, as the case may be);

(iv) termination amendments with respect to any financing statements filed in connection with the foregoing Secured Indebtedness with respect to equity interests of Company’s Subsidiaries, in each case in customary form and substance.

(d) On the Closing Date, upon payment by Parent of funds equal to amount of the relevant Payoff Amount, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, (x) apply such funds to pay in full the Payoff Amount with respect to each Company Credit Facility in accordance with the terms of the applicable Payoff Letter (or direct the payment of a portion of the Payoff Amount to be transferred by wire transfer directly to the agent for such Company Credit Facility or otherwise in accordance with the applicable Payoff Letter) and (y) use reasonable best efforts to take all other necessary actions to facilitate and effect the termination and release of all Liens on the Company’s assets and the assets of the Company’s Subsidiaries securing the obligations under Company Credit Facilities, including using reasonable best efforts to negotiate and obtain the releases with respect to vessel mortgages and UCC financing statements filed in connection with such Company Credit Facility described in Section 5.14(c)); provided, that in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be required to cause such termination or release unless the Closing shall occur concurrently therewith and the Company or its Subsidiaries have received funds from Parent to pay in full the Payoff Amount in connection with each Company Credit Facility (or the Payoff Amount for each Company Credit Facility shall have been transferred by wire transfer directly to the agent for such Company Credit Facility or otherwise in accordance with the applicable Payoff Letter) and, in the case of the $20M Term Loan, pay in full the debt and other outstanding obligations owed by the Company and its Subsidiaries under the $75M Term Loan and the Secured Notes referred to in clause (a) of the definition thereof.

(e) At the Closing, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Parent (i) duly completed and executed Payoff and Lien Release Documents in customary form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent and (ii) if required by the trustee for the Convertible Notes, a copy of the opinion of counsel of the Company addressed to the trustee with respect to the Merger contemplated by Article V of the Convertible Notes Indenture so long as all conditions set forth therein have been satisfied. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Parent determines not to effect the Closing on the basis of the failure of the Company to deliver the documents required to be delivered pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5.14(e), such determination shall not constitute a breach by Parent of its obligations under this Agreement and shall not entitle the Company to recover any Losses or seek specific performance under Section 8.9. The parties further agree that if the Company fails to deliver any of the documents required to be delivered pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5.14(e), then the Closing shall be delayed up to ten (10) days until the Company makes such deliveries. The failure to deliver any of the documents contemplated by the first sentence of this Section 5.14(e) shall not constitute a breach by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement and shall not entitle Parent to recover any Losses or seek specific performance under Section 8.9; provided that the Company has complied with Section 5.14(c) above. In the event Parent fails to give effect to the Closing solely on the basis that the lenders of any Secured Indebtedness would not release the Liens on the Company’s assets upon receipt of full repayment of such Secured Indebtedness, such failure shall not itself constitute a breach by Parent or Merger Sub of their obligations in this Agreement and shall not entitle the Company to seek specific performance under Section 8.9.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, (i) Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates or Representatives shall be permitted to purchase or offer or commit to purchase all or any portion of the Convertible Notes and (ii) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be permitted to purchase or offer or commit

to purchase all or any portion of the Convertible Notes (including pursuant to the Tender Offer) for consideration in the aggregate not in excess of $2,000,000.

(g) In the event that the Convertible Notes for any reason remain outstanding as of the Closing Date, Parent, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in connection with the suspension of covenants under the Convertible Notes Indenture and related security documents, in each case in accordance with the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 11, 2014 to the Convertible Notes Indenture.

Section 5.15 Company Rights Agreement. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall take all actions necessary to provide that the Final Expiration Date (as such term is defined in the Company Rights Agreement) shall occur immediately prior to the Effective Time, without any payment being made in respect thereof.

Section 5.16 Certain Actions.

(a) Each of the actions set forth on Schedule 5.16(a)(i) and (a)(ii) shall be taken by the applicable parties referred to therein and on or by such dates as indicated therein, in each case subject to the terms, qualifications and limitations set forth on the applicable schedule, if any. In addition, during the period from the date hereof until the Closing, each party shall comply with its obligations on Schedule 5.16(a)(iii).

(b) At substantially the same time as circulated to management, between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent the Company’s monthly “Financial Package” in a form substantially similar to the monthly Financial Packages that the Company has previously made available to Parent; provided, that such monthly Financial Packages shall not include information regarding the Acquired Hawaii Business.

Section 5.17 Contribution, Assumption and Purchase Agreement.

(a) The Company shall consult with Parent with respect to, and provide Parent an opportunity to review and comment upon, the Preliminary Closing Statement (as defined in Section 1.4(a) of the Contribution, Assumption and Purchase Agreement), and the Company shall consider for inclusion in such statement comments reasonably proposed by Parent, prior to delivery of the Preliminary Closing Statement to Pasha. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall keep Parent currently apprised of any differences between the Company and Pasha with respect to the computation of any of the items in the Preliminary Closing Statement and the resolution of any such differences.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall perform, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Entities) to perform, in all material respects, their respective obligations required to be performed under the Contribution, Assumption and Purchase Agreement; provided, however, neither Parent nor Merger Sub may allege any breach or anticipated breach of this covenant or seek any remedy or exercise any right (including any remedy or right under Section 8.9) on the basis of any breach or anticipated breach by the Company of this covenant unless and until the Contribution, Assumption and Purchase Agreement has been terminated pursuant to its terms, and the Company’s liabilities under this

covenant shall be limited to liabilities arising out of any willful and material breach of the Contribution, Assumption and Purchase Agreement by the Company. In addition, prior to the Closing, the Company shall not amend, waive or otherwise expressly modify (or agree to amend, waive or otherwise expressly modify) any term, provision or requirement of the Contribution, Assumption and Purchase Agreement in a manner that would or would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Company in any material respect.
