All terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, each Stockholder is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the number of shares of Company Common Stock (including Company Restricted Stock), set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Schedule A (all such shares of Company Common Stock set forth on Schedule A next to such Stockholder’s name, together with any shares of Company Common Stock that are hereafter issued to or otherwise directly or indirectly acquired or beneficially owned by such Stockholder prior to the termination of this Agreement (collectively “After-Acquired Shares”), excluding any shares of Company Common Stock transferred by such Stockholder to any third party or parties in one or more Permitted Transfers (as defined below) (provided that any such third party has entered into a separate agreement with Parent in compliance with the provisions of Section 4.01 of this Agreement), being referred to herein as such Stockholder’s “Subject Shares”);

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution hereof, Parent and Eneti Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (the “Company”), are entering into a Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), which provides that, among other things, (i) Parent will commence the Offer to exchange all common shares of the Company, including the Subject Shares, for the Offer Consideration and (ii) following the consummation of the Offer, the Company will merge with and into a wholly-owned Parent Subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), with Merger Sub being the surviving entity of the merger (the “Merger”), in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement; and

WHEREAS, as a condition to Parent’s willingness to enter into the Business Combination Agreement, and as an inducement and in consideration for Parent’s entry into the Business Combination Agreement, each Stockholder, severally and not jointly, and on such Stockholder’s own account with respect to such Stockholder’s Subject Shares, has agreed to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Agreement to Tender and Vote

Section 1.01. Agreement to Tender. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, unless and until this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.02, each Stockholder agrees to validly and irrevocably tender or cause to be validly and irrevocably tendered in the Offer all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer, free and clear of all Encumbrances (as defined below) except for Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, promptly after the Tender Notice (as defined below), but in no event later than the last time at which the depositary can accept tenders prior to the expiration of the Offer, each Stockholder shall validly and irrevocably tender or cause to be validly and irrevocably tendered in the Offer all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares free and clear of all Encumbrances except for Permitted Encumbrances, including by delivering pursuant to the terms of the Offer (a) a letter of transmittal with respect to all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares complying with the terms of the Offer, (b) a certificate representing all such Subject Shares that are certificated or, in the case of a book-entry share of any uncertificated Subject Shares, written instructions to such Stockholder’s broker, dealer or other nominee that such Subject Shares be tendered, and requesting delivery of an “agent’s message” (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) and (c) all other documents or instruments reasonably required to be delivered by other Company stockholders pursuant to the terms of the Offer. Each Stockholder agrees that, once any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares are tendered, such Stockholder will not withdraw such Subject Shares from the Offer, unless and until this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.02. In the event this Agreement has been validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.02, Parent shall promptly return to the Stockholder all Subject Shares such Stockholder tendered in the Offer. At all times commencing with the date hereof and continuing until the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, each Stockholder shall not tender any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares into any tender or exchange offer commenced by a Person other than Parent or any Parent Subsidiary. For purposes hereof, a “Tender Notice” means a written notice, delivered by Parent to each Stockholder on the date of the expiration of the Offer (as soon as practicable following 10:00 a.m. New York City time on such expiration date but in no event later than one hour prior to the last time at which the depositary can accept tenders prior to the expiration), specifying that (i) all of the conditions to the Offer have been satisfied (or are reasonably expected to be satisfied as of the expiration of the Offer) or waived by Parent (to the extent permitted by the Business Combination Agreement) (it being understood that such written notice can only be validly delivered by Parent to the extent that all of the conditions to the Offer have, in fact, been satisfied (or are reasonably expected to be satisfied as of the expiration of the Offer) or otherwise waived by Parent (to the extent permitted by the Business Combination Agreement)); provided that, for purposes of the Tender Notice only, the satisfaction of the Minimum Condition shall be tested assuming that all shares of Company Common Stock to be tendered pursuant to Section 1.01 of this Agreement are tendered prior to the expiration of the Offer and that the consummation of the Offer occurs contemporaneously with the delivery of the Tender Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 1.01 shall obligate Parent to deliver a Tender Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Stockholder shall have any obligation under this Section 1.01 to tender any Subject Shares into the Offer if that tender would cause such Stockholder to violate any applicable Law.

Section 1.02. Agreement to Vote. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, for so long as this Agreement has not been validly terminated in accordance with its terms, if Parent provides at least three (3) business days written notice to such Stockholder that it has terminated, or elects not to use, the proxy granted in Section 1.03, at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, including any adjournment or postponement thereof, and in connection with any action proposed to be taken by written consent of the stockholders of the Company, such Stockholder shall, in each case, to the fullest extent that such Stockholder’s Subject Shares are entitled to vote thereon: (a) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause all such Subject Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of determining a quorum and (b) be present (in person or by proxy) and vote (or cause to be voted), or deliver (or cause to be delivered) a written consent with respect to, all of its Subject Shares (i) against any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to (A) result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company contained in the Business Combination Agreement, or of any Stockholder contained in this Agreement, or (B) result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VII or Annex C of the Business Combination Agreement not being satisfied on or before the Outside Date; (ii) against any change in the Company Board of Directors that is not recommended by the Company Board of Directors; and (iii) against any Acquisition Proposal. Subject to the proxy granted under Section 1.03 below, each Stockholder shall retain at all times the right to vote such Stockholder’s Subject Shares in such Stockholder’s sole discretion, and without any other limitation, on any matters other than those expressly set forth in this Section 1.02 that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to the Company’s stockholders generally. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing commitments in Sections 1.01 and 1.02 apply to any Subject Shares held by any trust, limited partnership or other entity directly or indirectly holding Subject Shares over which the applicable Stockholder exercises direct or indirect voting control.

Section 1.03. Irrevocable Proxy. Solely with respect to the matters described in Section 1.02, for so long as this Agreement has not been validly terminated in accordance with its terms, each Stockholder hereby irrevocably appoints Parent as its attorney and proxy with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to the full extent of such Stockholders’ voting rights with respect to all such Stockholders’ Subject Shares (which proxy is irrevocable and which appointment is coupled with an interest) to vote, and to execute written consents with respect to, all such Stockholders’ Subject Shares solely on the matters described in Section 1.02, and in accordance therewith. Each Stockholder agrees to execute any further agreement or form reasonably necessary or appropriate to confirm and effectuate the grant of the proxy contained herein. Such proxy shall automatically terminate upon the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Parent may terminate this proxy with respect to a Stockholder at any time in its sole discretion by written notice provided to such Stockholder.

Section 1.04. No Obligation to Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall obligate any Stockholder to exercise any option or any other right to acquire any shares of Company Common Stock.

Section 2.03. Ownership of Subject Shares; Total Shares. Such Stockholder is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares and has good and marketable title to all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares free and clear of any Liens, claims, proxies, voting trusts or agreements, options, rights, understandings or arrangements or any other encumbrances or restrictions whatsoever on title, transfer or exercise of any rights of a stockholder in respect of such Subject Shares (collectively, “Encumbrances”), except for any such Encumbrance that may be imposed pursuant to (i) this Agreement, (ii) any applicable restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act or any state securities law, (iii) the Company Governing Documents and (iv) any applicable Company Equity Plan or agreements evidencing grants thereunder ((i) through (iv), collectively, “Permitted Encumbrances”).

ARTICLE IV

Additional Covenants of the Stockholders

Each Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that until the termination of this Agreement:

Section 4.01. No Transfer; No Inconsistent Arrangements. (a) Each Stockholder hereby agrees that, from and after the date hereof and until this Agreement is terminated, such Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action that would have the effect of preventing, materially delaying or materially impairing such Stockholder from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement or that would, or would reasonably be expected to, have the effect of preventing, materially delaying or materially impairing, the consummation of the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Business Combination Agreement.

(b) Except as provided hereunder (which, for clarity, includes the tendering of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares into the Offer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Business Combination Agreement), from and after the date hereof and until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, such Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) create or permit to exist any Encumbrance, other than Permitted Encumbrances, on any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares, (ii) transfer, sell, assign, gift, hedge, distribute, pledge or otherwise dispose of (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by depositing, submitting or otherwise tendering any such Subject Shares into any tender or exchange offer other than the Offer and, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any transfer or entry into any derivative arrangement with respect to (collectively, “Transfer”), any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares, or any right or interest therein (or consent to any of the foregoing), (iii) enter into any Contract with respect to any Transfer of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares or any legal or beneficial interest therein, (iv) grant or permit the grant of any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization or consent in or with respect to any such Stockholder’s Subject Shares or (v) deposit or permit the deposit of any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares. Any action taken in violation of the immediately preceding sentence shall be null and void ab initio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Stockholder may Transfer all or any portion of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares to a Permitted Transferee (as defined below) (any such Transfer and any Transfer as Parent may agree pursuant to Section 4.01(d) below, a “Permitted Transfer”), provided, that a Transfer described in this sentence shall be a Permitted Transfer only if (x) all of the representations and warranties in this Agreement with respect to such Stockholder would be true and correct upon such Transfer and (y) the Permitted Transferee of such Subject Shares, prior to the date of such Transfer, agrees in a signed writing satisfactory to Parent (acting reasonably) to accept such Subject Shares subject to the terms of this Agreement and to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as a “Stockholder” for all purposes of this Agreement. “Permitted Transferee” means, (a) with respect to any Stockholder that is a legal Person, any wholly-owned subsidiary of such Person, and (b) with respect to any Stockholder who is a natural Person, (i) an immediate family member of such Stockholder, (ii) such Stockholder’s estate upon the death of such Stockholder, or (iii) any trust or other Person established by, or on behalf of, such Stockholder or his or her immediate family members for bona fide tax and/or estate planning purposes and controlled and wholly beneficially owned by, or maintained solely for the benefit of, such Stockholder and/or his or her immediate family members. If any involuntary Transfer of any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares in the Company shall occur (including, but not limited to, a sale by such Stockholder’s trustee in any bankruptcy, or a sale to a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall, subject to applicable Law, take and hold such Subject Shares subject to all of the restrictions, obligations, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(c) Unless and until this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.02, such Stockholder agrees that it shall not, and shall cause each of its controlled affiliates not to, become a member of a “group” (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) for the purpose of opposing or competing with or taking any actions inconsistent with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Business Combination Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 4.01(b), such Stockholder may make Transfers of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares as Parent may agree in writing in its sole and absolute discretion.

Section 4.02. No Exercise of Appraisal Rights. Such Stockholder forever and irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights pursuant to Sections 100 and 101 of the BCAMI or otherwise in respect of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares that may arise in connection with the Offer or the Merger.

Section 4.03. Documentation and Information. Such Stockholder shall not make any public announcement regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as may be required by applicable Law (provided that reasonable notice of any such disclosure will be provided to Parent, and such Stockholder will consider in good faith the reasonable comments of Parent with respect to such disclosure and otherwise cooperate with Parent in obtaining confidential treatment with respect to such disclosure). Such Stockholder consents to and hereby authorizes Parent to publish and disclose in all documents and schedules filed with the SEC or any other Governmental Entity or applicable securities exchange, and any press release or other disclosure document that Parent reasonably determines to be necessary or advisable in connection with the Offer, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or this Agreement, such Stockholder’s identity, the aggregate number of Subject Shares owned by Stockholders subject to this Agreement, the existence of this Agreement and the nature of such Stockholder’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement, and such Stockholder acknowledges that Parent may, in Parent’s sole discretion, file this Agreement or a form hereof with the SEC or any other Governmental Entity or securities exchange. Such Stockholder agrees to promptly give Parent any information necessary for the preparation of any such disclosure documents, and such Stockholder agrees to promptly notify Parent of any changes with respect to information supplied by such Stockholder specifically for use in any such disclosure document, if and to the extent that any such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect.

Section 4.04. Adjustments. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or the like of the capital stock of the Company affecting a Stockholder’s Subject Shares, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the resulting securities.

Section 4.05. Waiver of Certain Actions. Each Stockholder hereby agrees not to commence or participate in, and to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, any of their respective affiliates or successors or any of their respective directors, managers or officers (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin or delay the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Business Combination Agreement (including any claim seeking to enjoin or delay the consummation of the Offer or the closing of the Merger) or (b) alleging a breach of any duty of the Company Board of Directors in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby or hereby.

Section 4.06. No Solicitation. Unless and until this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.02, each Stockholder shall not, and shall cause its controlled affiliates not to, and shall cause its and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage or facilitate any inquiry, proposal or offer, or the making, submission or announcement of any inquiry, proposal or offer which constitute or would be reasonably expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) participate in any negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any nonpublic information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with an actual or potential Acquisition Proposal, (iii) encourage or recommend any other holder of Company Common Stock to not tender shares of Company Common Stock into the Offer, (v) adopt, approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or enter into any letter of intent, support agreement or similar document, agreement, commitment or agreement in principle relating to or facilitating an Acquisition Proposal or (vi) agree to do any of the foregoing. Each Stockholder shall, and shall cause its controlled affiliates to, and shall cause its and their respective Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing solicitation, discussions or negotiations with any Person or groups (other than Parent, its Subsidiaries, and their respective Representatives acting on their behalf) with respect to any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. For purposes of this Section 4.06, Acquisition Proposal shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Business Combination Agreement, but shall also include any Transfer of any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares (other than a Permitted Transfer (disregarding Section 4.01(d) for this purpose)).

Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon Parent will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon Parent, and the exercise by Parent of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
