GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts or as otherwise noted)

1. Basis of presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Great Lakes”) and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate and make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature (except as otherwise noted), that are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2014, and its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 have been included.

The components of costs of contract revenues include labor, equipment (including depreciation, maintenance, insurance and long-term rentals), subcontracts, fuel and project overhead. Hourly labor is generally hired on a project-by-project basis. Costs of contract revenues vary significantly depending on the type and location of work performed and assets utilized. Generally, capital projects have the highest margins due to the complexity of the projects, while coastal protection projects have the most volatile margins because they are most often exposed to variability in weather conditions.

The Company’s cost structure includes significant annual equipment-related costs, including depreciation, maintenance, insurance and long-term rentals. These costs have averaged approximately 22% to 23% of total costs of contract revenues over the prior three years. During the year, both equipment utilization and the timing of fixed cost expenditures fluctuate significantly. Accordingly, the Company allocates these fixed equipment costs to interim periods in proportion to revenues recognized over the year, to better match revenues and expenses. Specifically, at each interim reporting date the Company compares actual revenues earned to date on its dredging contracts to expected annual revenues and recognizes equipment costs on the same proportionate basis. In the fourth quarter, any over or under allocated equipment costs are recognized such that the expense for the year equals actual equipment costs incurred during the year.

The Company has four operating segments that, through aggregation, comprise two reportable segments: dredging and environmental & remediation, previously referred to as the demolition segment. The historical demolition business has been retrospectively presented as discontinued operations and is no longer reflected in continuing operations. Four operating segments were aggregated into two reportable segments as the segments have similarity in economic margins, services, production processes, customer types, distribution methods and regulatory environment. The Company has determined that the operating segments are the Company’s four reporting units.

The condensed consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the dilutive effect of 789 thousand shares of stock options and restricted stock units were excluded from the diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding as the Company incurred a loss during this period. The impact of these shares would have been antidilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, zero options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share based on the application of the treasury stock method. The computations for basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations are as follows:

5. Long-term debt

On June 4, 2012, the Company entered into a senior revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and an Issuing Lender, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent and PNC Bank, National Association, BMO Harris Bank N.A. and Fifth Third Bank, as Co-Documentation Agents. The Credit Agreement provides for a senior revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $175,000, subfacilities for the issuance of standby letters of credit up to a $125,000 sublimit, multicurrency borrowings up to a $50,000 sublimit and swingline loans up to a $10,000 sublimit. The Credit Agreement also includes an incremental loans feature that will allow the Company to increase the senior revolving credit facility by an aggregate principal amount of up to $50,000. This is subject to lenders providing incremental commitments for such increase, provided that no default or event of default exists, and the Company being in pro forma compliance with the existing financial covenants both before and after giving effect to the increase, and subject to other standard conditions.

Depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), borrowings under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at the option of the Company of either a LIBOR rate plus a margin of between 1.50% to 2.50% per annum or a base rate plus a margin of between 0.50% to 1.50% per annum.

The credit facility contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default (including non-payment of principal or interest on any material debt and breaches of covenants) as well as events of default relating to certain actions by the Company’s surety bonding provider. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a net leverage ratio less than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00.

In 2013, outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement, which were previously unsecured, were secured by liens on certain of the Company’s vessels and all of its domestic accounts receivable, subject to the liens and interests of certain other parties holding first priority perfected liens. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the obligations thereunder that became secured could again become unsecured provided that (i) no event of default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Company has maintained for two consecutive quarters, and is projected to maintain for the next two consecutive quarters, a total leverage ratio less than or equal to 3.75 to 1.0 and (iii) the Company has delivered to the lenders its audited financial statements with respect to its fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. At March 31, 2014, the Credit Agreement remains secured by liens on certain of the Company’s vessels and all of its domestic accounts receivable.

The obligations of Great Lakes under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by each existing and subsequently acquired or formed material direct and indirect domestic subsidiary of the Company. During a year, the Company frequently borrows and repays amounts under its revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $37,000 of borrowings on the revolver and $90,781 of letters of credit outstanding, resulting in $47,219 of availability under the Credit Agreement. At March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with its various financial covenants under its Credit Agreement.

In addition to its Credit Agreement, the Company has a $24,000 international letter of credit facility that it uses for the performance and advance payment guarantees on the Company’s foreign contracts. As of March 31, 2014, Great Lakes had no letters of credit outstanding under this facility. At March 31, 2014, the Company also had $250,000 of 7.375% senior notes outstanding, which mature in February 2019.

6. Fair value measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy has been established by GAAP that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The accounting guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company held certain derivative contracts that it uses to manage foreign currency risk and commodity price risk. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, other nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The fair values of these financial instruments and nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at the reporting date are summarized as follows:


			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
Description	At March 31, 2014		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Fuel hedge contracts	$	152	$	—	$	152	$	—


			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
Description	At December 31, 2013		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Fuel hedge contracts	$	332	$	—	$	332	$	—

Foreign exchange contracts

The Company has exposure to foreign currencies that fluctuate in relation to the U.S. dollar. The Company periodically enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge this risk. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no outstanding contracts.

Fuel hedge contracts

The Company is exposed to certain market risks, primarily commodity price risk as it relates to the diesel fuel purchase requirements, which occur in the normal course of business. The Company enters into heating oil commodity swap contracts to hedge the risk that fluctuations in diesel fuel prices will have an adverse impact on cash flows associated with its domestic dredging contracts. The Company’s goal is to hedge approximately 80% of the fuel requirements for work in backlog.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company was party to various swap arrangements to hedge the price of a portion of its diesel fuel purchase requirements for work in its backlog to be performed through February 2015. As of March 31, 2014, there were 4.4 million gallons remaining on these contracts which represent approximately 80% of the Company’s forecasted fuel purchases through February 2015. Under these swap agreements, the Company will pay fixed prices ranging from $2.87 to $3.14 per gallon.

At March 31, 2014, the fair value liability of the fuel hedge contracts was estimated to be $152 and is recorded in accrued expenses. At December 31, 2013, the fair value asset of the fuel hedge contracts was estimated to be $332 and is recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets. The gain reclassified to earnings from changes in fair value of derivatives, net of cash settlements and taxes, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $46. The remaining gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2014 will be reclassified into earnings over the next eleven months, corresponding to the period during which the hedged fuel is expected to be utilized. The fair values of fuel hedges are corroborated using inputs that are readily observable in public markets; therefore, the Company determines fair value of these fuel hedges using Level 2 inputs.

The fair value of the fuel hedge contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is as follows:


		Fair Value at
		March 31,		December 31,
	Balance Sheet Location	2014		2013
Asset derivatives:
Derivatives designated as hedges
Fuel hedge contracts	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	—	$	332

	Income tax (provision) benefit		(31	)		91

		$	(46	)	$	137

Other financial instruments

The carrying value of financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Based on timing of the cash flows and comparison to current market interest rates, the carrying value of our senior revolving credit agreement approximates fair value. In January 2011, the Company issued $250,000 of 7.375% senior notes due February 1, 2019, which were outstanding at March 31, 2014. The senior notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee the senior notes. The fair value of the senior notes was $261,875 at March 31, 2014, which is a Level 1 fair value measurement as the senior notes value was obtained using quoted prices in active markets.

7. Commitments and contingencies

Commercial commitments

Performance and bid bonds are customarily required for dredging and marine construction projects, as well as some environmental & remediation projects. The Company has a bonding agreement with Zurich American Insurance Company (“Zurich”) under which the Company can obtain performance, bid and payment bonds. The Company also has outstanding bonds with Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America. Bid bonds are generally obtained for a percentage of bid value and amounts outstanding typically range from $1,000 to $10,000. At March 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding performance bonds valued at approximately $843,298, of which $71,917 relates to projects accounted for in discontinued operations. The revenue value remaining in backlog related to the projects of continuing operations totaled approximately $318,793.

Certain foreign projects performed by the Company have warranty periods, typically spanning no more than one to three years beyond project completion, whereby the Company retains responsibility to maintain the project site to certain specifications during the warranty period. Generally, any potential liability of the Company is mitigated by insurance, shared responsibilities with consortium partners, and/or recourse to owner-provided specifications.

Legal proceedings and other contingencies

As is customary with negotiated contracts and modifications or claims to competitively bid contracts with the federal government, the government has the right to audit the books and records of the Company to ensure compliance with such contracts, modifications, or claims, and the applicable federal laws. The government has the ability to seek a price adjustment based on the results of such audit. Any such audits have not had, and are not expected to have, a material impact on the financial position, operations, or cash flows of the Company.

Various legal actions, claims, assessments and other contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business are pending against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. These matters are subject to many uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters could ultimately be decided, resolved, or settled adversely to the Company. Although the Company is subject to various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business, except as described below, the Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings or environmental claims. The Company records an accrual when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not believe any of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material effect on results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

On March 19, 2013, the Company and three of its current and former executives were sued in a securities class action in the Northern District of Illinois captioned United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers & Allied Workers Local Union No. 8 v. Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation et al., Case No. 1:13-cv-02115. The lawsuit, which was brought on behalf of all purchasers of the Company’s securities between August 7, 2012 and March 14, 2013, primarily alleges that the defendants made false and misleading statements regarding the recognition of revenue in the demolition segment and with regard to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. This suit was filed following the Company’s announcement on March 14, 2013 that it would restate its second and third quarter 2012 financial statements. Two additional, similar lawsuits captioned Boozer v. Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation et al., Case No. 1:13-cv-02339, and Connors v. Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation et al., Case No. 1:13-cv-02450, were filed in the Northern District of Illinois on March 28, 2013, and April 2, 2013, respectively. These three actions were consolidated and recaptioned In re Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation Securities Litigation, Case No. 1:13-cv-02115, on June 10, 2013. The plaintiffs filed an amended class action complaint on August 9, 2013, which the defendants moved to dismiss on October 8, 2013. The Company denies liability and intends to vigorously defend this action.

On March 28, 2013, the Company was named as a nominal defendant, and its directors were named as defendants, in a shareholder derivative action in DuPage County Circuit Court in Illinois captioned Hammoud v. Berger et al., Case No. 2013CH001110. The lawsuit primarily alleges breaches of fiduciary duties related to allegedly false and misleading statements regarding the recognition of revenue in the demolition segment and with regard to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, which exposed the Company to securities litigation. A second, similar lawsuit captioned The City of Haverhill Retirement System v. Leight et al., Case No. 1:13-cv-02470, was filed in the Northern District of Illinois on April 2, 2013 and was voluntarily dismissed on June 10, 2013. A third, similar lawsuit captioned St. Lucie County Fire District Firefighters Pension Trust Fund v. Leight et al., Case No. 13 CH 15483, was filed in Cook County Circuit Court in Illinois on July 8, 2013, and has since been transferred to DuPage County Circuit Court and consolidated with the Hammoud action. The Hammoud/St. Lucie plaintiffs have filed a consolidated amended complaint on December 9, 2013, but the action is otherwise stayed until there is a ruling on the motion to dismiss the securities class action. A fourth, similar lawsuit (that additionally named one current and one former executive as defendants) captioned Griffin v. Berger et al., Case No. 1:13-cv-04907, was filed in the Northern District of Illinois on July 9, 2013. The Griffin action is also stayed pending a ruling on the motion to dismiss the securities class action.

In 2012, the Company contracted with a shipyard to perform the functional design drawings, detailed design drawings and follow on construction of a new Articulated Tug & Barge (“ATB”) Trailing Suction Hopper Dredge. In April 2013, the Company terminated the contract with the shipyard for default and the counterparty sent the Company a notice requesting arbitration under the contract on the Company’s termination for default, including but not limited to the Company’s right to draw on letters of credit that had been issued by the shipyard as financial security required in the contract. In May 2013, the Company drew upon the shipyard’s letters of credit related to the contract and received $13,600. Arbitration proceedings were initiated. In January 2014, the Company and the shipyard executed a settlement agreement pursuant to which the Company retained $10,500 of the proceeds of the financial security and remitted $3,100 of those funds to the shipyard, all other claims were released, and the arbitration was dismissed with prejudice.

The Company has not accrued any amounts with respect to the above matters as the Company does not believe, based on information currently known to it, that a loss relating to these matters is probable, and an estimate of a range of potential losses relating to these matters cannot reasonably be made.

As discussed in Note 8, on April 23, 2014, the Company completed the sale of NASDI, LLC (“NASDI”) and Yankee Environmental Services, LLC, which together comprised the Company’s historical demolition business, to a privately owned demolition company. Under the terms of the divestiture, the Company retained certain pre-closing liabilities relating to the disposed business. Certain of these liabilities are described below.

In 2009, NASDI received a letter stating that the Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is investigating alleged violations of the Massachusetts Solid Waste Act. The Company believes that the Massachusetts Attorney General is investigating waste disposal activities at an allegedly unpermitted disposal site owned by a third party with whom NASDI contracted for the disposal of waste materials in 2007 and 2008. Per the Massachusetts Attorney General’s request, NASDI executed a tolling agreement regarding the matter in 2009 and engaged in further discussions with the Massachusetts Attorney General’s office. Should a claim be brought, the Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

In 2011, NASDI received a subpoena from a federal grand jury in the District of Massachusetts directing NASDI to furnish certain documents relating to certain projects performed by NASDI since January 2005. The Company conducted an internal investigation into this matter and has cooperated with the grand jury’s investigation. Based on the limited information known to the Company, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the investigation, the U.S. Attorney’s views of the issues being investigated, and any action the U.S. Attorney may take.

On April 24, 2014, NASDI received a subpoena from a federal grand jury in the District of Massachusetts directing NASDI to furnish certain emails for the years 2004 to the present for the email accounts of certain former and present NASDI employees. The Company is cooperating with the grand jury’s investigation. Based on the limited information known to the Company, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the investigation, the U.S. Attorney’s views of the issues being investigated, and any action the U.S. Attorney may take.

8. Business dispositions

On April 23, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement and completed the sale of NASDI, LLC and Yankee Environmental Services, LLC, its two subsidiaries that comprised the historical demolition business. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company received cash and retained the right to receive additional proceeds based upon future collections of outstanding accounts receivable and work in process existing at the date of close, including recovery of outstanding claims for additional compensation from customers, and net of future payments of accounts payable existing at the date of close, including any future payments of obligations associated with outstanding claims. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a preliminary loss on disposal of assets held for sale in discontinued operations, which is subject to change based upon the final terms of the sale, including subsequent adjustments to the purchase price related to additional proceeds.

To the extent the Company incurs liabilities for exit costs, including severance, other employee benefits costs and operating lease obligations, the liabilities will be measured at fair value and recorded when incurred.

The results of the businesses have been reported in discontinued operations as follows:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2014			2013
Revenue	$	12,124		$	8,694

9. Segment information

The Company and its subsidiaries currently operate in two reportable segments: dredging and environmental and remediation. The Company’s financial reporting systems present various data for management to run the business, including profit and loss statements prepared according to the segments presented. Management uses operating income to evaluate performance between the two segments. Segment information for the periods presented is provided as follows:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2014			2013
Dredging
Contract revenues	$	161,960		$	173,959

Intersegment revenues	$	(308	)	$	—
Total
Contract revenues	$	174,382		$	180,153
Operating income		2,885			14,496

Foreign dredging revenue of $16,470 and $38,385 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, was primarily attributable to work done in Brazil as well as for the Wheatstone LNG project in Western Australia.

The majority of the Company’s long-lived assets are marine vessels and related equipment. At any point in time, the Company may employ certain assets outside of the U.S., as needed, to perform work on the Company’s foreign projects.

10. Subsidiary guarantors

The Company’s long-term debt at March 31, 2014 includes $250,000 of 7.375% senior notes due February 1, 2019.

General

The Company is the largest provider of dredging services in the United States. In addition, the Company is the only U.S. dredging service provider with significant international operations, which represented 10% of its dredging revenues for the first three months of 2014, below the Company’s prior three year average of 18%. The mobility of the Company’s fleet enables the Company to move equipment in response to changes in demand for dredging services.

Dredging generally involves the enhancement or preservation of navigability of waterways or the protection of shorelines through the removal or replenishment of soil, sand or rock. The U.S. dredging market consists of four primary types of work: capital, coastal protection, maintenance and rivers & lakes. The Company’s bid market is defined as the aggregate dollar value of domestic dredging projects on which the Company bid or could have bid if not for capacity constraints (“bid market”). The Company experienced an average combined bid market share in the U.S. of 46% over the prior three years, including 46%, 58%, 33% and 50% of the domestic capital, coastal protection, maintenance and rivers & lakes sectors, respectively.

The Company’s largest domestic dredging customer is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (the “Corps”), which has responsibility for federally funded projects related to navigation and flood control of U.S. waterways. In the first three months of 2014, the Company’s dredging revenues earned from contracts with federal government agencies, including the Corps as well as other federal entities such as the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Navy were approximately 79% of dredging revenues, an increase compared to the Company’s prior three year average of 59%.

The Company’s environmental & remediation subsidiaries provide soil, water and sediment environmental remediation for the municipal and private party markets. Remediation involves the retrieval and removal of contamination from an environment through the use of separation techniques or disposal based on the quantity and severity of the contamination. Besides environmental remediation, the environmental & remediation segment performs industrial cleaning, abatement services and hazardous waste removal. In the first three months of 2014, environmental & remediation revenues accounted for 7% of total revenues.

The Company also owns 50% of Amboy Aggregates (“Amboy”) and 50% of TerraSea Environmental Solutions (“TerraSea”) as joint ventures. Amboy’s primary business is dredging sand from the entrance channel to New York Harbor to provide sand and aggregate for use in road and building construction and for clean land fill. Amboy also imports stone from upstate New York and Nova Scotia and distributes it throughout the New York area. TerraSea provides water and land based environmental services in the area of clean up and remediation of sediments, soil and groundwater for both marine and land based projects.

The Company operates in four operating segments that, through aggregation, comprise two reportable segments: dredging and environmental & remediation, previously referred to as the demolition segment. The historical demolition business has been retrospectively presented as discontinued operations and is no longer reflected in continuing operations. Four operating segments were aggregated into two reportable segments as the segments have similarity in economic margins, services, production processes, customer types, distribution methods and regulatory environment. The Company has determined that the operating segments are the Company’s four reporting units.

Results of operations

The following tables set forth the components of net income (loss) attributable to Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, as defined below, as a percentage of contract revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

Adjusted EBITDA		6.9	%		14.1	%

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, as provided herein, represents net income attributable to common stockholders of Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation, adjusted for net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, debt extinguishment, accelerated maintenance expense for new international deployments and goodwill or asset impairments. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is not a measure derived in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as an additional measure by which to evaluate the Company’s operating trends. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a measure frequently used to evaluate performance of companies with substantial leverage and that the Company’s primary stakeholders (i.e., its stockholders, bondholders and banks) use Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to evaluate the Company’s period to period performance. Additionally, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations provides a transparent measure of the Company’s recurring operating performance and allows management to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve operating performance. For this reason, the Company uses a measure based upon Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to assess performance for purposes of determining compensation under the Company’s incentive plan. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, amounts determined in accordance with GAAP including: (a) operating income as an indicator of operating performance; or (b) cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity. As such, the Company’s use of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, instead of a GAAP measure, has limitations as an analytical tool, including the inability to determine profitability or liquidity due to the exclusion of accelerated maintenance expense for new international deployments, goodwill or asset impairments, interest and income tax expense and the associated significant cash requirements and the exclusion of depreciation and amortization, which represent significant and unavoidable operating costs given the level of indebtedness and capital expenditures needed to maintain the Company’s business. For these reasons, the Company uses operating income to measure the Company’s operating performance and uses Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations only as a supplement. The following is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders of Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation:

Intersegment revenue		(308	)		—		100.0	%

Total revenues	$	174,382		$	180,153		(3.2	)%

Total revenue for the 2014 first quarter was $174.4 million, a decrease of $5.8 million or 3% from $180.2 million during the 2013 first quarter. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, increases in coastal protection and maintenance dredging revenues and environmental & remediation revenues were offset by decreases in domestic and foreign capital and rivers & lakes revenues.

Capital dredging consists primarily of port expansion projects, which involve the deepening of channels to allow access by larger, deeper draft ships and the provision of land fill used to expand port facilities. In addition to port work, capital projects also include land reclamations, trench digging for pipelines, tunnels and cables, and other dredging related to the construction of breakwaters, jetties, canals and other marine structures. Domestic capital dredging revenue decreased by $11.0 million, or 24%, to $34.5 million, in the first quarter of 2014 when compared to the first quarter of 2013. Domestic capital dredging revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2014 were primarily earned by port deepening projects in Miami, Florida and New York. In comparison, revenues of the first three months of 2013 were driven by a coastal restoration project in Louisiana that did not repeat in the current year.

Foreign capital projects typically involve land reclamations, channel deepening and port infrastructure development. Foreign dredging revenue decreased by $21.9 million, or 57%, in the first quarter of 2014 to $16.5 million. Revenues were from fewer foreign capital projects in the first three months of 2014 and primarily relate to dredging activities for the Wheatstone LNG Project in Western Australia and a port development project in Brazil.

Coastal protection projects generally involve moving sand from the ocean floor to shoreline locations where erosion threatens shoreline assets. Coastal protection revenue in the 2014 first quarter increased $13.8 million, or 24%, from the 2013 first quarter. A larger number of projects in New York and New Jersey to repair damaged shorelines continued to add to increased revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Additionally, the Company worked on projects in South Carolina and Florida.

Maintenance dredging consists of the re-dredging of previously deepened waterways and harbors to remove silt, sand and other accumulated sediments. Maintenance revenue in the first quarter of 2013 increased by $8.5 million, or 31%, compared to the first quarter of 2013. A greater number of projects in the current quarter contributed to the increase. The Company worked on maintenance projects in Florida, New York, Maryland, Georgia and Tennessee during the first quarter of 2014.

Domestic rivers & lakes dredging and related operations typically consist of lake and river dredging, inland levee and construction dredging, environmental restoration and habitat improvement and other marine construction projects. Rivers & lakes revenue in the first quarter of 2014 was $4.0 million, a decrease of $1.4 million or 26% compared to the first quarter of 2013. Higher revenue in the first quarter of 2013 was impacted from the work on a large municipal lake project in Texas. Rivers & lakes projects in the first quarter of 2014 included work in Florida, Nebraska and Illinois.

The environmental & remediation segment recorded revenues of $12.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, up 106% compared to $6.2 million for the same period in 2013. The increase is attributable to a greater number of environmental & remediation projects in the first three months 2014, including remediation projects in New Jersey and Michigan.

Consolidated gross profit for the 2014 first quarter decreased by 32% to $20.9 million, from $30.7 million in the first quarter of 2013. Gross profit margin (gross profit divided by revenue) for the 2014 first quarter decreased to 12.0% from 17.1% in the 2013 first quarter. Gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was lower as many projects located in the northern U.S. experienced severe weather which both contributed to longer project durations and equipment downtime for maintenance. These weather impacts in the quarter lowered margins on existing projects and negatively affected the Company’s fixed cost coverage. In addition, fewer projects in the Middle East further lowered the gross profit margin in the first quarter.

The Company’s general and administrative expenses totaled $17.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, up $1.7 million or 10% from the first quarter of 2013. General and administrative expenses totaled $16.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Additional payroll and benefit expenses of $1.5 million over the same period in 2013 contributed to the increase.

The operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $2.9 million compared to $14.5 million in the same period of 2013. The lower operating income is primarily due to higher unabsorbed fixed costs impacting gross profit margin.

The Company’s net interest expense totaled $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, down from interest expense of $5.7 million from the same period of 2013 which included financing fees associated with amendments to our debt facilities.

The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was a benefit of $1.5 million compared to a provision of $3.5 million for the three months ended 2013. The decrease in income tax provision for the quarter was attributable to the lower taxable operating income in 2014. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is 37.2%, which is below the effective tax rate of 42.1% for the same period of 2013 due to larger credits allowed in the first quarter of 2014. The Company expects the tax rate for the full year before consideration of nondeductible pretax items to remain near 40%.

Net loss from continuing operations was $2.5 million and the loss per diluted share was $0.04 for the 2014 first quarter compared to a net income from continuing operations of $4.8 million and earnings per share of $0.08 for the same period of 2013. The decrease in the first quarter of 2014 is due to lower operating results, for the periods described above.

Adjusted EBITDA (as defined on page 25) was $12.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared with $25.4 million in the same 2013 period. This decrease is the result of lower operating income in the current year period.

Results by segment

Dredging

Dredging revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $162.0 compared to $174.0 million for the same period of 2013. The dredging segment for the three ended March 31, 2014 included increases in coastal protection and maintenance revenues which were offset by lower domestic and foreign capital and rivers & lakes revenues. The prior year dredging revenues were driven by two projects in the Middle East and a coastal restoration project in Louisiana that did not repeat in the current year.

Gross profit margin in the dredging segment was 12.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to gross profit margin of 18.0% for the same period in the prior year. Dredging gross profit margin was lower as many projects located in the northern U.S. experienced severe weather impacts which both contributed to longer project durations and equipment downtime for maintenance that negatively affected the first quarter of 2014. These weather impacts in the quarter lowered margins on existing projects and negatively affected the Company’s fixed cost coverage. In addition, fewer projects in the Middle East further lowered the gross profit margin in the first quarter.

Dredging segment operating income was $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to operating income of $19.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in operating income for the first quarter of 2014 is a result of the aforementioned lower gross profit margins in the segment and a $1.0 million increase in general and administrative expenses primarily related to additional payroll and benefit expenses.

Environmental & remediation

Environmental & remediation revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $12.7 million compared to $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Environmental & remediation revenues for the first three months of 2013 increased as a result of a greater number of projects in the current quarter.

The environmental & remediation segment had a gross profit margin of 0.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and a negative gross profit margin of 8.4% for the same period in the prior year. During the first quarter of 2014, better fixed cost coverage allowed for improvements in the gross profit margin, but some severe weather partially offset the improvement in contract margin at the environmental & remediation segment.

The environmental & remediation segment had an operating loss of $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, in line with an operating loss of $4.5 million for the same periods of 2013. The foregoing increase in gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was offset by a $0.6 million increase in general and administrative expenses, specifically additional payroll and benefit expenses.

On April 23, 2014, the Company completed the sale of its historical demolition business which previously was part of the environmental & remediation segment. The historical demolition business has been retrospectively presented as discontinued operations and is no longer reflected in continuing operations.

Bidding activity and backlog

The following table sets forth, by reporting segment and type of dredging work, the Company’s backlog as of the dates indicated:


	March 31,		December 31,		March 31,
Backlog (in thousands)	2014		2013		2013
Dredging:
Capital—U.S.	$	189,450	$	176,117	$	103,061
Capital—foreign		98,849		98,666		195,292
Coastal protection		76,583		143,498		33,978
Maintenance		38,826		70,633		2,211
Rivers & lakes		111,441		26,158		26,339

Dredging Backlog		515,149		515,072		360,881
Environmental & remediation		77,363		28,330		27,548

Total Backlog	$	592,512	$	543,402	$	388,429

The Company’s contract backlog represents its estimate of the revenues that will be realized under the portion of the contracts remaining to be performed. For dredging contracts these estimates are based primarily upon the time and costs required to mobilize the necessary assets to and from the project site, the amount and type of material to be dredged and the expected production capabilities of the equipment performing the work. For environmental & remediation contracts, these estimates are based on the time and remaining costs required to complete the project relative to total estimated project costs and project revenues agreed to with the customer. However, these estimates are necessarily subject to variances based upon actual circumstances. Because of these factors, as well as factors affecting the time required to complete each job, backlog is not always indicative of future revenues or profitability. Also, 60% of the Company’s March 31, 2014 dredging backlog relates to federal government contracts, which can be canceled at any time without penalty to the government, subject to the Company’s contractual right to recover the Company’s actual committed costs and profit on work performed up to the date of cancellation. The Company’s backlog may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter based upon the type and size of the projects the Company is awarded from the bid market. A quarterly increase or decrease of the Company’s backlog does not necessarily result in an improvement or a deterioration of the Company’s business. The Company’s backlog includes only those projects for which the Company has obtained a signed contract with the customer.

The domestic dredging bid market for the 2014 first quarter totaled $376.4 million. This represents an increase of $139.4 million from the same period in the prior year. During the first quarter the Company was awarded the final phase of the PortMiami project, for $31.6 million. The two-year project commenced dredging operations in November 2013 and will deepen the port to a depth of 50/52 feet to accommodate the post-Panamax cargo ships that will start to pass through the expanded Panama Canal in 2015. Including the PortMiami award, the Company won 22%, or $45.8 million of the capital projects awarded through March 31, 2014. Also in the quarter, rivers & lakes announced the receipt of an $89 million contract with the City of Decatur (IL) to provide dredging services to remove nearly 11 million cubic yards of material to increase the capacity of Lake Decatur. With this award, rivers & lakes won 74% of the rivers & lakes projects. The Company won 37% of the overall domestic bid market through March 31, 2014, which is below the Company’s prior three year average of 46%. Variability in contract wins from quarter to quarter is not unusual and one quarter’s win rate is generally not indicative of the win rate the Company is likely to achieve for a full year.

The Company’s contracted dredging backlog was $515.1 million at March 31, 2014 which is the same level as the $515.1 million backlog as of December 31, 2013. These amounts do not reflect approximately $0.9 million of domestic low bids pending formal award and additional phases (“options”) pending on projects currently in backlog at March 31, 2014. At December 31, 2013 the amount of domestic low bids and options pending award was $136.4 million. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company was low bidder on three additional contracts collectively totaling $50.9 million that will be included in future backlog when awarded.

Domestic capital dredging backlog at March 31, 2014 was $13.3 million greater than at December 31, 2013. The PortMiami project noted above will continue into 2015 adding to revenues throughout the current year. The Company also continues to work on a deepening project in New York. Several port deepenings on the East Coast have been congressionally authorized and states are agreeing to cost share the funding in advance of federal budget appropriations to ensure completion before the first ship passes through the expanded Panama Canal. The current Water Resources Reform and Development Act under reconciliation by Congress has language that would allow the Port of Savannah to begin its deepening project and authorizes the Port of Jacksonville to commence studies on its deepening. We believe that the focus on the imminent Panama Canal completion will allow the Corps and representative states to move forward several port projects in the near future.

Coastal protection dredging backlog at March 31, 2014 was $66.9 million lower than at December 31, 2013 as the Company worked a number of projects in backlog to repair damaged shorelines in New York and New Jersey. Additionally, the Company worked on projects in South Carolina and Florida that were part of the backlog at year end. The Corps is expected to let for bid a second round of coastal protection projects later in 2014. In addition, several states are recognizing the importance of coastal protection to their communities and are stepping up local funding for projects that will directly impact their communities.

Maintenance dredging backlog was $31.8 million lower at March 31, 2014 than at December 31, 2013. The Company primarily completed its backlog related to six projects in the quarter and will be working on its New York port maintenance contract throughout the second half of 2014. The previously mentioned Water Resources Reform and Development Act includes language that will require over time, more money from the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund to be spent on maintenance dredging. The Company encourages passage of this important infrastructure bill to provide necessary funding and long term planning visibility to the Corps.

Rivers & lakes backlog is $85.3 million higher at March 31, 2014 than at December 31, 2013 on the Lake Decatur award in the current quarter. Rivers & lakes continued to earn on projects in its backlog, including work on its large municipal lake project in Texas and a private company project in Florida.

Foreign capital dredging backlog remained similar from year end with $98.8 million of backlog at March 31, 2014. Backlog from our Wheatstone LNG project, a new port project in Brazil and a Middle East project comprised the balance of backlog. We continue to pursue several international opportunities and collaborations to fully utilize our fleet of vessels.

Environmental & remediation services backlog was $49.0 million higher at March 31, 2014 than at December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily driven by the award of a new phase of the Midwestern remediation project during the quarter. Terra’s reputation in the remediation specialty contracting business continued to allow it to pursue several important projects and Terra’s combined service offering with rivers & lakes’ dredging highlights an important growth element of the Company.

Liquidity and capital resources

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are net cash flows provided by operating activities and proceeds from previous issuances of long term debt. The Company’s principal uses of cash are to meet debt service requirements, finance capital expenditures, provide working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The Company’s net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 totaled $8.6 million, and $(10.2) million, respectively. Normal increases or decreases in the level of working capital relative to the level of operational activity impact cash flow from operating activities. The increase in the current quarter from the three months ended March 31, 2013 is related to a decrease in the investment in working capital partially offset by lower adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in the current quarter.

The Company’s net cash flows used in investing activities of continuing operations for the first three months of 2014 and 2013 totaled $24.7 million and $15.3 million, respectively. Investing activities in both periods primarily relate to normal course upgrades and capital maintenance of the Company’s dredging fleet. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company spent $10.1 million on construction in progress for a vessel being built to our specifications. The Company intends to secure financing during construction and upon completion of the vessel.

The Company’s net cash flows provided by financing activities of continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 totaled $2.2 million and $10.9 million, respectively. The decrease in net cash flows provided by financing activities is primarily due to lower net borrowings on the Company’s revolver during the current quarter. In addition, in the first three months of 2013, the Company paid $10.5 million on a promissory note related to the Terra acquisition.

On June 4, 2012, the Company entered into a senior revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and an Issuing Lender, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent and PNC Bank, National Association, BMO Harris Bank N.A. and Fifth Third Bank, as Co-Documentation Agents. The Credit Agreement provides for a senior revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $175 million, subfacilities for the issuance of standby letters of credit up to a $125 million sublimit, multicurrency borrowings up to a $50 million sublimit and swingline loans up to a $10 million sublimit. The Credit Agreement also includes an incremental loans feature that will allow the Company to increase the senior revolving credit facility by an aggregate principal amount of up to $50 million. This is subject to lenders providing incremental commitments for such increase, provided that no default or event of default exists, the Company being in pro forma compliance with the existing financial covenants after giving effect to the increase and other standard conditions.

The obligations of Great Lakes under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by each existing and subsequently acquired or formed material direct and indirect domestic subsidiary of the Company. During a year, the Company frequently borrows and repays amounts under its revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $37.0 million of borrowings on the revolver and $90.8 million of letters of credit outstanding, resulting in $47.2 million of availability under the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the line of credit may be limited based on the Company’s requirements to comply with its covenants. At March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with its various covenants under its Credit Agreement.

Performance and bid bonds are customarily required for dredging and marine construction projects, as well as some demolition projects. The Company has a bonding agreement (the “Zurich Bonding Agreement”) with Zurich American Insurance Company (“Zurich”) under which the Company can obtain performance, bid and payment bonds. The Company also has outstanding bonds with Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America. Bid bonds are generally obtained for a percentage of bid value and amounts outstanding typically range from $1 million to $10 million. At March 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding performance bonds valued at approximately $843.3 million, of which $71.9 million relates to projects accounted for in discontinued operations. The revenue value remaining in backlog related to the projects of continuing operations totaled approximately $318.8 million.

In addition to its credit facility, the Company has a $24 million International Letter of Credit Facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as successor by merger to Wells Fargo HSBC Trade Bank (the “International Letter of Credit Facility”). This facility is used for performance and advance payment guarantees on foreign contracts. The Company’s obligations under the agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s foreign accounts receivable. In addition, the Export-Import Bank of the United States (“Ex-Im Bank”) has issued a guarantee under the Ex-Im Bank’s Working Capital Guarantee Program, which covers 90% of the obligations owing under the facility. The Company had no letters of credit issued under this facility at March 31, 2014.

In connection with the sale of NASDI, LLC and Yankee Environmental Services, LLC, the Company’s two subsidiaries that comprised the historical demolition business, on April 23, 2014, the Company, certain of its subsidiaries and Zurich entered into a rider to the Zurich Bonding Agreement. Under this rider, Zurich consented to the sale and agreed, among other things, to release and discharge such subsidiaries from their obligations under the Zurich Bonding Agreement, and release the Transferred Bonds (as defined below) from under the Zurich Bonding Agreement. As a condition to Zurich’s consent and agreement to release, the rider required (i) the buyer of the historical demolition business to enter into a General Indemnity Agreement in favor of Zurich with respect to the performance bonds issued by Zurich for existing projects that were transferred with the sale (the “Transferred Bonds”) and (ii) the Company to:

•

enter into a Guarantee and Indemnity Agreement with respect to the Transferred Bonds in favor of Zurich (“Zurich Guarantee”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to guarantee the obligations of such former subsidiaries under, and indemnify and hold Zurich harmless against any losses and liabilities incurred by it in respect of, the Transferred Bonds up to an aggregate amount of $25 million;

•

enter into an agreement with Zurich providing for the issuance to Zurich of a letter of credit by the Company in the original face amount of $20 million (the “Zurich Letter of Credit”) to secure the obligations of (a) the Company under the Zurich Bonding Agreement with respect to the bonds issued thereunder and under the Zurich Guarantee and (b) such former subsidiaries with respect to the Transferred Bonds; and

•

issue the Zurich Letter of Credit.

In addition, on April 23, 2014, the Company entered into (i) an amendment to the Credit Agreement, which amended the Credit Agreement to permit the entrance into the Zurich Guarantee by the Company and to exclude the Zurich Guarantee and the Zurich Letter of Credit from the calculation of the Company’s financial covenants under the Credit Agreement related to total consolidated indebtedness and total leverage ratio and (ii) an amendment to the International Letter of Credit Facility, to exclude the Zurich Guarantee and the Zurich Letter of Credit from the calculation of the Company’s financial covenants thereunder related to total consolidated indebtedness and total leverage ratio.

The impact of changes in functional currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar on non-U.S. dollar cash balances, primarily the Brazilian Real and Australian Dollar, is reflected in the cumulative translation adjustment—net within accumulated other comprehensive loss. Cash held in non-U.S. dollar currencies primarily is used for project-related and other operating costs in those currencies reducing the Company’s exposure to future realized exchange gains and losses.

The Company believes its cash and cash equivalents, its anticipated cash flows from operations and availability under its revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations, capital expenditures and the scheduled debt service requirements for the next twelve months. Beyond the next twelve months, the Company’s ability to fund its working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, scheduled debt payments and dividends, if any, and to comply with all the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement and bonding agreement, depends on its future operating performance and cash flows, which in turn, are subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

In preparing its consolidated financial statements, the Company follows accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The application of these principles requires significant judgments or an estimation process that can affect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company, as well as the related footnote disclosures. The Company continually reviews its accounting policies and financial information disclosures. There have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies or estimates since December 31, 2013.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The market risk of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2014 has not materially changed since December 31, 2013. The market risk profile of the Company on December 31, 2013 is disclosed in Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Rule 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of March 31, 2014. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act a) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure and b) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing such a reasonable assurance.

b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

EXECUTION VERSION

FOURTH AMENDMENT

INTERNATIONAL LETTER OF CREDIT AGREEMENT

THIS FOURTH AMENDMENT TO INTERNATIONAL LETTER OF CREDIT AGREEMENT is dated as of August 30, 2013 (this “Fourth Amendment”), and entered into among GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK COMPANY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Guarantor”), and WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., successor by merger to WELLS FARGO HSBC TRADE BANK, N.A. (the “Bank”).

BACKGROUND:

A. The Borrower, the Guarantor and Bank entered into an International Letter of Credit Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2006 (as amended through the date hereof and as it may be further amended, modified or supplemented, the “Agreement”). Unless specifically defined or redefined below, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement.

B. The Borrower has requested an extension of the Final Disbursement Date and the Maturity Date.

C. The Bank hereby agrees to extend the Final Disbursement Date and the Maturity Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

For purposes of this Fourth Amendment, a counterpart hereof (or signature page thereto) signed and transmitted by any Person party hereto to the Bank (or its counsel) by facsimile machine, telecopier or electronic mail is to be treated as an original.

with respect to NASDI/ Yankee Transferred Bonds

DATE OF GIA: September 7, 2011

DATE OF RIDER: April 23, 2014

THIS SECOND RIDER TO THE GENERAL AGREEMENT OF INDEMNITY WITH RESPECT TO NASDI/ YANKEE TRANSFERRED BONDS (“RIDER”), shall be attached to and incorporated into the General Agreement of Indemnity (“GIA”), dated as of the date set forth above which has been executed by GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CORPORATION (“GLDD”), GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK COMPANY, LLC, LYDON DREDGING & CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, LTD., FIFTY-THREE DREDGING CORPORATION, DAWSON MARINE SERVICES COMPANY, GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. (f/k/a Great Lakes Caribbean Dredging, Inc.), NASDI, LLC, NASDI HOLDINGS CORPORATION, YANKEE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, LLC. and GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK (BAHAMAS) LTD., as Contractors and Indemnitors (“Indemnitors”), on behalf of ZURICH AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates in any jurisdiction, including, but not limited to FIDELITY AND DEPOSIT COMPANY OF MARYLAND, COLONIAL AMERICAN CASUALTY AND SURETY COMPANY, and AMERICAN GUARANTEE AND LIABILITY INSURANCE COMPANY, their successors and assigns (“Surety”) (individually and collectively “Surety”).

Indemnitors have requested that Surety (i) consent to the sale of NASDI, LLC (“NASDI”) and Yankee Environmental Services, LLC (“Yankee”), (ii) release and discharge NASDI and Yankee from the GLDD Bonding Agreements and their respective duties, obligations and liabilities thereunder, (iii) release and terminate all of its security interests in and liens on the property and assets of NASDI and Yankee granted under the GLDD Bonding Agreements and (iv) agree that Indemnitors’ liability under the GLDD Bonding Agreements be released or transferred with respect to the Transferred Bonds (as defined below); and

Surety is willing to (i) consent to the sale of NASDI and Yankee, (ii) release and discharge NASDI and Yankee from the GLDD Bonding Agreements and their respective duties, obligations and liabilities thereunder, (iii) release and terminate all of its security interests in and liens on the property and assets of NASDI and Yankee granted under the GLDD Bonding Agreements and (iv) consent to the limited release of Indemnitors’ liability for the Transferred Bonds under the GLDD Bonding Agreements in exchange for and on the condition (a) of the transfer of GLDD’s obligations with respect to the Transferred Bonds from the GLDD Bonding Agreements to the separate GLDD Guarantee for Transferred Bonds (as defined below) in accordance with this Rider and (b) that, as of the closing of the Permitted Sale (as defined below), Dore & Associates Contracting, Inc. (“Dore”), the Purchaser (as defined below), NASDI, Yankee and the other subsidiaries and affiliates of Dore party thereto as “Indemnitors” execute a new General Indemnity Agreement with respect to the Transferred Bonds, together with other underwriting conditions and security required by Surety and set forth herein.

As an inducement to Surety to issue or refrain from cancelling Transferred Bonds, to release and discharge NASDI and Yankee from the GLDD Bonding Agreements and their respective duties, obligations and liabilities thereunder, to release and terminate all of its security interests in and liens on the property and assets of NASDI and Yankee granted under the GLDD Bonding Agreements, to release the liability of Indemnitors for the Transferred Bonds under the GLDD Bonding Agreements and to accept the GLDD Guarantee for Transferred Bonds in lieu of Indemnitors’ indemnity for the Transferred Bonds, Indemnitors represent and agree for themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, as follows:

1. SCOPE: Except as otherwise stated in the Release of NASDI and Yankee in Section 4 below, this Rider applies only to the transferred bonds set forth on Exhibit A, List of Transferred Bonds, which is attached to this Rider and incorporated by reference, including all renewals, extensions, modifications, replacements or substitutions thereof (collectively, the “Transferred Bonds” and each individually a “Transferred Bond”). This Rider does not cover any other bond which Surety may issue for GLDD or others which is not a Transferred Bond (the “Non-Transferred Bonds”), and with respect to those Non-Transferred Bonds, the GLDD Bonding Agreements remain in full force and effect, subject to the Release of NASDI and Yankee set forth in Section 4 below.

2. PERMITTED SALE: Pursuant to the Ownership Interest Purchase Agreement dated as of April 23, 2014 (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among North American Leasing, Inc. a Michigan corporation (the “Purchaser”), NASDI Holdings Corporation, (“NASDI Holdings”), GLDD, Yankee and NASDI, the Purchaser will purchase from NASDI Holdings, and NASDI Holdings will sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to the Purchaser, all of the ownership interests of NASDI and Yankee, as provided in the Purchase Agreement (the “Permitted Sale”). The Surety consents to such Permitted Sale and acknowledges and agrees that the consummation of the Permitted Sale shall not constitute an “Event of Default” under the GLDD Bonding Agreements.

3. In connection with the Permitted Sale, Surety requests that Indemnitors execute and deliver to Surety this Rider and the other documents required below, simultaneously with the closing of the Permitted Sale.

4. RELEASE OF NASDI AND YANKEE FROM THE GLDD BONDING AGREEMENTS: Effective as of the closing of the Permitted Sale, Surety (i) releases and discharges NASDI and Yankee from the GLDD Bonding Agreements, and from all obligations and Loss under the GLDD Bonding Agreements, and (ii) releases and terminates all of its security interests in and liens on the property and assets of NASDI and Yankee granted under the GLDD Bonding Agreements, in each case, on the condition that (a) NASDI and Yankee execute the Dore Agreement to transfer their obligations under the GLDD Bonding Agreements to the Dore Agreement with respect to the Transferred Bonds; (b) GLDD execute the GLDD Guarantee for Transferred Bonds to transfer GLDD’s obligations under the GLDD Bonding Agreements with respect to the Transferred Bonds to the GLDD Guarantee for Transferred Bonds; and (c) the Administrative Agent’s execution of its Release and Termination with respect to the Permitted Sale. The release and discharge of NASDI and Yankee set forth in this Section 4, once the Dore Agreement is executed, applies to all Bonds issued under the GIA and is not limited to the Transferred Bonds; provided, however, nothing in this Section 4 is intended to or does release and discharge NASDI and Yankee from their obligations with respect to the Transferred Bonds in accordance with the Dore Agreement and such obligations shall be novated with NASDI’s and Yankee’s execution of the Dore Agreement.

5. RELEASE OF GLDD AND ALL OTHER INDEMNITORS WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSFERRED BONDS: Effective as of the closing of the Permitted Sale, Surety (i) releases GLDD and the other Indemnitors from the GLDD Bonding Agreements, and from all obligations and Loss under the GLDD Bonding Agreements, with respect to the Transferred Bonds, and (ii) agrees that the Transferred Bonds shall not constitute “Bonds” under and for all purposes of the GLDD Bonding Agreements, in each case, on the condition that (a) GLDD execute the GLDD Guarantee for Transferred Bonds to transfer GLDD’s obligations under the GLDD Bonding Agreements to the GLDD Guarantee for Transferred Bonds and that (b) NASDI and Yankee execute the Dore Agreement to transfer NASDI and Yankee’s obligations under the GLDD Bonding Agreements to the Dore Agreement with respect to the Transferred Bonds.

6. GOVERNING LAW: This Rider shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

7. EXECUTION AND CHANGES: This Rider may be executed in any number of counterparts with separate signature pages, all of which taken together shall constitute the Rider, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Rider by signing any such counterpart. This Rider shall be effective and immediately binding as to each Indemnitor when Indemnitor executes this Agreement and complies with the conditions indicated in Sections 4 and 5 above, regardless of whether any other party has executed this Rider or fails to execute this Rider. This Rider shall only be changed or modified in writing.

8. DEFINITIONS:

Dore Indemnity Agreement (unexecuted version)


		General Indemnity Agreement

THIS GENERAL INDEMNITY AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated this 23rd day of April, 2014 by:

Dore & Associates Contracting, Inc., 900 S. Harry Truman Parkway, Bay City, MI 48706, a Michigan Corporation

North American Leasing, Inc., 900 S. Harry Truman Parkway, Bay City, MI 48706, a Michigan Corporation

River Front, LLC, [Address], 900 S. Harry Truman Parkway, Bay City, MI 48706, a Michigan LLC

NASDI, LLC, 1365 Main Street, Waltham, MA 02451, a Delaware LLC

Yankee Environmental Services, LLC, 29 Esquire Road, Billerica, MA 01862, a Delaware LLC

All new Indemnitors added to this Agreement by rider

(each an “Indemnitor” and all of the above individually and collectively “Indemnitors”) in favor of ZURICH AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY and its subsidiaries, affiliates and associated companies in any jurisdiction, including but not limited to FIDELITY AND DEPOSIT COMPANY OF MARYLAND, COLONIAL AMERICAN CASUALTY AND SURETY COMPANY, AMERICAN GUARANTEE AND LIABILITY INSURANCE COMPANY and ZURICH INSURANCE GROUP LTD, their respective successors and assigns (individually and collectively “Surety”) with respect to any bond, undertaking, and/or obligation of suretyship or guarantee executed, provided or procured (herein “issued”) by Surety (whether as surety, co-surety, reinsurer or otherwise) in the name of or on behalf of any Indemnitor, any Related Entity, any other entity on request in accordance with this Agreement, or any combination thereof, whether issued prior to or after the execution of this Agreement, and all renewals, extensions, modifications and substitutions of bonds (collectively “Bonds” and each individually a “Bond”). This Agreement shall be liberally construed so as to fully protect, exonerate, indemnify and hold Surety harmless from all liability and Loss.

As an inducement to Surety to issue or refrain from cancelling Bonds, Indemnitors represent and agree for themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, as follows:

1. PREMIUMS: Indemnitors shall promptly pay all premiums and charges of Surety for Bonds, at the current rate charged by Surety, until Surety has been provided satisfactory evidence, in its sole discretion, that it has been fully released and/or discharged from liability under such Bonds.

2. INDEMNITY: Indemnitors shall exonerate, indemnify, and hold Surety harmless from any and all liability and Loss, sustained or incurred, arising from or related to: (a) any Bond, (b) any Claim, (c) any Indemnitor failing to timely and completely perform or comply with this Agreement, (d) Surety enforcing this Agreement or (e) any act of Surety to protect or procure any of Surety’s rights, protect or preserve any of Surety’s interests, or to avoid, or lessen Surety’s liability or alleged liability. The liability of Indemnitors to Surety under this Agreement includes all Claims made on Surety, all payments made, Loss incurred, and all actions taken by Surety under the Good Faith belief that Surety is, would be or was liable for the amounts paid or the actions taken, or that it was necessary or expedient to make such payments or take such actions, whether or not such liability, necessity or expediency existed. Indemnitors shall promptly, upon demand, make payment to Surety as soon as liability or Loss exists, whether or not Surety has made any payment. An itemized statement of Loss, sworn to by any officer of Surety, or the voucher or other evidence of any payment, shall be prima facie evidence of the fact, amount and extent of the liability of Indemnitors for such Loss. Indemnitors shall promptly, upon demand, procure the full and complete discharge of Surety from all Bonds and all liability in connection with such Bonds. If Indemnitors are unable to obtain discharge of any or all such Bonds within the time demanded, Indemnitors shall promptly deposit with Surety an amount of money that Surety determines is sufficient to collateralize or pay any outstanding bonded obligations. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, NASDI, LLC (“NASDI”) and Yankee Environmental Services, LLC (Yankee) are executing a Rider to General Agreement of Indemnity by which Surety is releasing NASDI and Yankee from that certain Agreement of Indemnity, dated September 7, 2011 and executed by Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation and other entities as Contractors and Indemnitors thereunder (the “GLDD Indemnity”), and transferring the indemnity obligations for NASDI and Yankee with respect to certain Transferred Bonds (as defined in this provision) from the GLDD Indemnity to this Agreement. “Transferred Bonds” means the Bonds and bonded obligations identified on the attached EXHIBIT A, which Exhibit is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. This Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, alter any of the terms and/or conditions of the Transferred Bonds.

modification of any Bond and/or Bonded Contract, and/or to take, consent to or decline to consent to any assignment (hereinafter “Modification”). Any Settlement and/or Modification by Surety shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Indemnitors. Indemnitors shall remain bound under this Agreement for all Loss even though any such Settlement or Modification by Surety does or might substantially increase the liability of Indemnitors.

4. PLACE IN FUNDS: Indemnitors agree to promptly deposit with Surety, on demand, an amount of money that Surety determines is sufficient to fund any liability or Loss. Such funds may be used by Surety to pay Loss or may be held by Surety as collateral against potential future Loss. Any remaining funds held by Surety after payment of all sums due to Surety under this Agreement shall be returned upon the complete release and/or discharge of Surety’s liability under all Bonds.

5. PLEDGE AND ASSIGNMENT OF COLLATERAL: Indemnitors pledge, assign, transfer and set over to Surety the Collateral, as collateral to secure the obligations in this Agreement, whether incurred before or after the execution of this Agreement, including a license to use the Collateral, without cost, to perform or discharge Surety’s obligations under any Bond or Bonded Contract. This pledge and assignment becomes effective on the date of this Agreement, or the earliest date allowable by law.

6. TRUST FUNDS: All sums due, to become due, or received by any Indemnitor or Principal for or on account of any Bonded Contract are trust funds in which Surety has an interest as a beneficiary of the trust whether in the possession of such Indemnitor or Principal or another. Such trust funds shall be held in trust for the benefit and payment of all obligations or Loss for which Surety may be liable under any Bond. Surety has the right, but not the obligation, to require that trust funds be placed in a dedicated trust fund account. This Agreement and declaration constitute notice of such trust.

7. UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE: This Agreement constitutes a security agreement to Surety in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code or similar statute in any jurisdiction. Surety may file a photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement as a financing statement or otherwise take any action or file any statement or documents to perfect the rights and interests granted in the Collateral or trust funds at any time.

8. TAKEOVER: If an Event of Default occurs, Surety shall have the right, in its sole discretion, and is authorized to take possession of any part or all of the work, materials and equipment under any Bonded Contract and any other materials or equipment which Surety deems necessary or proper to perform such Bonded Contract, and to perform or arrange for the performance of such Bonded Contract.

9. ADVANCES AND FINANCING: Surety is authorized to guarantee loans, to advance or lend money to any entity which Surety may see fit for the purpose of facilitating performance of obligations under any Bond or Bonded Contract. Indemnitors shall indemnify Surety for all such loans or advances and all Loss incurred by Surety relating to such loans and advances. Any failure to use the loans or advances, in whole or in part, for performance of obligations under such Bonds or Bonded Contracts shall not be a defense to Indemnitors’ duty to indemnify Surety for such loans or advances. Surety has no obligation to provide financing or other support to any Principal or Indemnitor.

10. BONDS FOR OTHER ENTITIES: Indemnitors’ obligations under this Agreement shall also apply to any Bond Surety issues for or on behalf of any Related Entity. “Related Entity” means: (a) any present or future, directly or indirectly owned subsidiary or affiliate of any Indemnitor; (b) any legal entity in which any Indemnitor has or acquires an ownership interest; and (c) any joint ventures, consortiums, teaming arrangements or any other business collaboration or economic enterprise (“Joint Venture”) in which any Indemnitor is or was a member at the time the Bond was issued. Indemnitors’ obligations under this Agreement shall also apply to any Bond Surety issues for or on behalf of any entity other than a Related Entity, on the written request of any Indemnitor.

11. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, BOOKS AND RECORDS: Indemnitors shall promptly provide Surety with any and all information and documentation concerning the business or financial situation of any Indemnitor or any subsidiary, affiliate or Related Entity of any Indemnitor, as requested by Surety. Indemnitors shall furnish on demand, and Surety shall have the right to access, examine and copy the books, records and accounts of Indemnitors and of any entity under the control of any Indemnitor, at no cost to Surety. Indemnitors authorize any entity in which funds of any Indemnitor may be deposited to furnish to Surety a statement of the amount of such deposits as of the date requested. Indemnitors authorize any and all lenders, obligees, subcontractors, suppliers, accountants, other insurers, and other persons or entities to furnish to Surety any information requested by Surety, including but not limited to the performance of obligations under any Bond or Bonded Contract and payments related to any such Bond or Bonded Contract.

12. ISSUANCE OF BONDS: Surety does not guarantee the issuance or compliance of any Bond or any obligee’s acceptance of any Bond issued. Surety has an absolute right to decline to issue or continue or renew any Bond and to cancel any Bond. If Surety issues a bid or proposal Bond or a written commitment to issue any Bond (each a “Bond Commitment”), Surety has an absolute right to decline to issue any Bond that may be required in connection with any award made under the proposal for which the Bond Commitment was given.

13. WAIVER OF NOTICE: Indemnitors waive notice of the issuance or cancellation of any Bond, any Settlement or Modification, and any act, fact or information concerning or affecting the rights and liabilities of Surety or the rights or liabilities of Indemnitors under the Bonds or this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice of any kind to which Principal and/or Indemnitors might otherwise have been or be entitled, and notwithstanding any defenses they might have been or be entitled to assert.

14. OTHER SURETIES AS BENEFICIARIES: If Surety procures the execution of any Bond by other sureties, or executes any Bond with co-sureties, or reinsures any portion of any Bond with reinsuring sureties, then all the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of such other sureties, co-sureties and/or reinsuring sureties, including the right to bring an action for enforcement of this Agreement. Surety may furnish copies of any and all underwriting and Claim documentation to reinsurers and co-sureties, including statements, agreements, financial statements, and any information which Surety now has or may obtain in the future concerning (a) Principals and/or Indemnitors, (b) Related Entities of Principals and/or Indemnitors, and (c) other entities for which any Bond is requested pursuant to paragraph 10.

15. SURETY’S ADDITIONAL RIGHTS: This Agreement is in addition to and not in lieu of all other agreements of indemnity and any and all rights, powers, and remedies that Surety may have or acquire against Indemnitors or any other person or entity, whether by agreement, law or otherwise. Indemnitors acknowledge and agree that other indemnity, collateral, property and/or security may be required by Surety with respect to Bonds issued under this Agreement. Indemnitors shall remain bound under the terms of this Agreement even though Surety may from time to time (before or after the date of this Agreement): (a) accept, modify or release other agreements of indemnity with respect to any Bond; (b) accept, modify the indemnity of, or release any Indemnitor or any other person or entity; or (c) accept, release or subordinate any rights to collateral, real property, personal property or security. Indemnitors’ obligations to Surety shall not be waived or reduced by any claim, setoff, defense, or other right or cause of action which Indemnitors and/or Surety may hold against any person or entity or which may be asserted by any Principal, Indemnitor or any other person or entity arising from or related to any Bonded Contract, any Bond, this Agreement, other agreements, by law or otherwise. Surety is subrogated to all rights, Claims, funds and receivables related to any Bonded Contract. Surety has the right to offset Loss on any Bonded Contract against proceeds, funds, real property or personal property under any other Bonded Contract or otherwise available to Surety under this Agreement. Surety’s forbearance or failure to act to enforce any right shall not waive or diminish any of its rights, which rights may be enforced at any time in Surety’s sole discretion.

16. SURETY’S RIGHT TO SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE: Indemnitors acknowledge that the failure of Indemnitors, collectively or individually, to perform or comply with any provision of this Agreement shall cause irreparable harm to Surety for which Surety has no adequate remedy at law. Indemnitors agree that Surety shall be entitled to injunctive relief and/or specific performance, and Indemnitors waive any claims or defenses to the contrary.

17. POWER OF ATTORNEY: Indemnitors irrevocably nominate, constitute, appoint and designate Surety, and any persons designated by Surety, as their attorney-in-fact, with the right, but not the obligation, to exercise all of the rights of Indemnitors pledged, assigned, transferred and set over to Surety in this Agreement, including, in the name of Indemnitors to make, execute, and deliver any and all assignments or documents deemed necessary and proper by Surety in order to exercise its rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement. Indemnitors ratify and confirm all acts taken by Surety and its designees as such attorney-in-fact and agree to protect and hold harmless Surety and its designees for all such acts.

18. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY: Indemnitors are jointly and severally liable to Surety under this Agreement. Surety may enforce this Agreement against any Indemnitor without joining any other Indemnitor, person or entity.

19. CONTRIBUTION: Indemnitors waive and subordinate all rights of indemnity, subrogation and contribution against each other and/or any Principal until all obligations to Surety under this Agreement, at law or in equity, have been satisfied in full.

20. NOTICE TO SURETY: Indemnitors shall notify Surety as soon as any Indemnitor becomes aware of the happening of any Event of Default. This notice, and any other notice to Surety, shall be addressed as follows: Zurich Surety, Red Brook Corporate Center, 600 Red Brook Blvd., 4th Floor, Owings Mills, Maryland 21117, Attention: Vice President, Contract Surety.

21. LAWSUITS AND JURISDICTION: Separate lawsuits may be brought under this Agreement as causes of action accrue, and the bringing of any lawsuit or the recovery of any judgment on any cause of action shall not prejudice or bar the bringing of other lawsuits, on the same or other causes of action, whether arising before or after any other lawsuit or cause of action. In any legal proceeding brought by or against Surety that in any way relates to this Agreement, each Indemnitor irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction, at Surety’s sole option, of the Federal, state and local courts in which (a) any Indemnitor resides or has property, (b) any bonded obligation arises or is performed, in whole or in part, or (c) any action may be brought against Surety. Indemnitors submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive and agree not to assert that they are not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court or that the jurisdiction and/or venue is in an inconvenient forum or otherwise improper.

22. GOVERNING LAW FOR BONDED CONTRACTS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES: Indemnitors agree that as to any legal action or proceeding related to any Bond issued in connection with any Bonded Contract to be performed outside the United States and its territories, this Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

23. EXECUTION AND CHANGES: This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute the Agreement. This Agreement shall be effective and immediately binding as to each Indemnitor when that Indemnitor executes this Agreement, regardless of whether any other party has executed the Agreement or fails to execute this Agreement. This Agreement shall only be changed or modified in writing.

24. SEVERABILITY: If any provision of this Agreement is found to be void or unenforceable as to an Indemnitor, the remainder of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain enforceable as to that Indemnitor; and the entire Agreement shall remain enforceable as to all other Indemnitors.

25. TERMINATION: Indemnitors’ obligations and Surety’s rights and remedies under this Agreement are continuing. Indemnitors acknowledge that their obligations under this Agreement remain for Bonds executed for entities that may be sold, dissolved, or otherwise disposed of in the future. This Agreement remains in effect until terminated and released by Surety. Any Indemnitor may terminate their participation in this Agreement with respect to future Bonds by sending written notice of termination to Surety at the address in Paragraph 20. Such termination shall be effective twenty (20) days from Surety’s receipt of the notice (“Effective Date”) and shall be effective only as to the Indemnitor providing such written notice. The notice of termination shall not terminate, modify, bar or discharge such notifying Indemnitor’s obligations to Surety under this Agreement for: (a) Bonds issued prior to the Effective Date; (b) Bonds issued after the Effective Date where such Bonds are issued with respect to a Bond Commitment issued prior to the Effective Date; and (c) any Collateral or interest provided under this Agreement. The execution of any subsequent agreements of indemnity in favor of Surety by any Indemnitor shall not be construed as a novation, and this Agreement may only be terminated as provided herein.

26. JURY WAIVER: Indemnitors hereby knowingly and voluntarily waive and covenant that they will not assert any right to trial by jury in respect to any legal proceeding arising out of this Agreement.

27. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES: Indemnitors each represent and warrant the following: (a) Each Indemnitor has a substantial, material, and/or beneficial interest in one or more Indemnitors or Principals obtaining Bonds or in Surety refraining from canceling any such Bond; (b) Each Indemnitor has the full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform all obligations in this Agreement; (c) All information provided to Surety by each Indemnitor prior to and after the execution of this Agreement is true, accurate and complete as of the time provided; and (d) Each right, power and remedy given to Surety, under any provision of this Agreement or otherwise, forms a material part of Surety’s consideration for Bonds.

28. WAIVER OF EXEMPTIONS: Indemnitors waive all rights to claim any of their property, including their respective homesteads, as exempt from any levy, execution, sale or other legal process by Surety, unless such waiver is prohibited by law.

29. TRANSFERRED BONDS: By way of clarification, Indemnitors hereby assume liability for and performance of the Transferred Bonds. The obligations of Indemnitors to Surety under this Agreement include those arising from or relating to the Transferred Bonds and any breach or default asserted under said Bonds or the underlying contracts, and/or the enforcement of this Agreement. Indemnitors acknowledge that the Surety may require or retain or release other or additional agreements, indemnity and/or security with respect to the Transferred Bonds, and Surety may exercise its rights and remedies with respect to this Agreement or any other agreement, indemnity or security, at any time and in any order in Surety’s full and absolute discretion.

EXHIBIT C

GLDD Guarantee for Transferred Bonds (unexecuted version)

Guarantee and Indemnity Agreement

With respect to NASDI/ Yankee Transferred Bonds

THIS GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO NASDI/ YANKEE TRANSFERRED BONDS (“Agreement”), dated this day of , 2014 by Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Corporation, a Delaware corporation, as Guarantor (“Guarantor” or “GLDD”) in favor of ZURICH AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY and its subsidiaries, affiliates and associated companies in any jurisdiction, including but not limited to FIDELITY AND DEPOSIT COMPANY OF MARYLAND, COLONIAL AMERICAN CASUALTY AND SURETY COMPANY, AMERICAN GUARANTEE AND LIABILITY INSURANCE COMPANY and ZURICH INSURANCE GROUP LTD, their respective successors and assigns (individually and collectively “Surety”) with respect to the transferred bonds set forth on Exhibit A, List of Transferred Bonds, which is attached to this Agreement and incorporated by reference, including all renewals, extensions, modifications, replacements or substitutions thereof (collectively, the “Transferred Bonds” and each individually a “Transferred Bond”). This Agreement shall be liberally construed so as to fully guarantee, and exonerate, indemnify and hold Surety harmless from, all liability and Loss with respect to the Transferred Bonds.

Guarantor has requested that Surety consent to Guarantor’s sale of NASDI, LLC (“NASDI”) and Yankee Environmental Services, LLC (“Yankee”), and that GLDD Indemnitors’ (as defined below) liability under the current GLDD Agreement (as defined below) be released or transferred with respect to the Transferred Bonds; and

Surety is willing to consent to the sale of NASDI and Yankee, and to consent to the transfer of GLDD Indemnitors’ obligations with respect to the Transferred Bonds from the current GLDD Agreement to this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, on the condition that Guarantor enter into this Agreement and the GLDD Transferring Release to transfer GLDD Indemnitors’ liability for the Transferred Bonds from the GLDD Agreement to this Agreement.

As an inducement to Surety to issue or refrain from cancelling Transferred Bonds, to accept the GLDD Transferring Release, and to accept this Agreement in lieu of the GLDD Agreement with respect to GLDD Indemnitors’ obligations for the Transferred Bonds, Guarantor represents and agrees for itself, its heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, as follows:

1. TERM OF GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY: This Agreement remains in force until Surety has been provided satisfactory evidence, in its sole discretion, that Surety has been fully released and/or discharged from liability under all Transferred Bonds and has been paid in full for all Loss arising from or related to the Transferred Bonds. Guarantor hereby guarantees all liability for and performance of Transferred Bonds under the terms of this Agreement and the GLDD Transferring Release. The obligations of Guarantor to Surety under this Agreement include those arising from or relating to the Transferred Bonds and any breach or default asserted under said Transferred Bonds or the underlying Bonded Contracts, and/or the enforcement of this Agreement or the Dore Agreement. Guarantor acknowledges that Surety may require or retain or release other or additional agreements, indemnity and/or security with respect to the Transferred Bonds, including but not limited to the Dore Agreement, and Surety may exercise its rights and remedies with respect to this Agreement, the Dore Agreement, or any other agreement, indemnity or security, at any time and in any order in Surety’s full and absolute discretion.

2. GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY: Guarantor hereby guarantees the full payment and performance of, and shall exonerate, indemnify, and hold Surety harmless from, any and all liability and Loss, sustained or incurred, arising from or related to the following: (a) any Transferred Bond, (b) any Claim, (c) Guarantor failing to timely and completely perform or comply with this Agreement, or any of the parties to the Dore Agreement failing to timely and completely perform or comply with the Dore Agreement with respect to any Transferred Bond, (d) Surety enforcing this Agreement or the Dore Agreement with respect to any Transferred Bond or (e) any act of Surety to protect or procure any of Surety’s rights, protect or preserve any of Surety’s interests, or to avoid, or lessen Surety’s liability or alleged liability, all with respect to any Transferred Bond. The liability of Guarantor to Surety under this Agreement includes all Claims made on Surety, all payments made, Loss incurred, and all actions taken by Surety with respect to any Transferred Bond under the Good Faith belief that Surety is, would be or was liable for the amounts paid or the actions taken, or that it was necessary or expedient to make such payments or take such actions, whether or not such liability, necessity or expediency existed. Guarantor shall promptly, upon demand, make payment to Surety as soon as liability or Loss exists, whether or not Surety has made any payment. An itemized statement of Loss, sworn to by any officer of Surety, or the voucher or other evidence of any payment, shall be prima facie evidence of the fact, amount and extent of the liability of Guarantor for such Loss. This Guarantee and Indemnity includes all Loss arising from or related to the Transferred Bonds, including all Loss which may arise under the Dore Agreement with respect to the Transferred Bonds.

3. SURETY’S RIGHT TO PERFORM, SETTLE AND/OR MODIFY: Surety shall have the absolute and unconditional right and is authorized but not required to: (a) adjust, pay, perform, decline to perform, compromise, settle, deny, litigate or otherwise resolve any Claim and/or any claim, counterclaim, defense or setoff held by or made against Guarantor, any of the parties to the Dore Agreement, any Principal or other entity and/or to take any action to protect any rights of Surety or to preserve or protect Surety’s interests, or to avoid or lessen any alleged liability (hereinafter “Settlement”); and (b) modify, consent to or decline to consent to modification of any Transferred Bond and/or Bonded Contract, and/or to take, consent to or decline to consent to any assignment (hereinafter “Modification”). Any Settlement and/or Modification by Surety shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Guarantor. Guarantor shall remain bound under this Agreement for all Loss even though any such Settlement or Modification by Surety does or might substantially increase the liability of Guarantor.

4. PLACE SURETY IN FUNDS: Should an Event of Default occur, or upon determination by Surety, in its sole and absolute discretion, that potential liability exists under any Transferred Bond (regardless of whether liability has been established or whether Surety, Guarantor may have defenses to all or any portion of any claim asserted under any Transferred Bond), Guarantor shall, upon demand, deposit with Surety cash or other collateral acceptable to Surety in an amount determined by Surety, in its sole discretion, to be sufficient to discharge any claim made against or potential liability of Surety on any Transferred Bond or under this Agreement. Surety shall not be required to post a reserve prior to or as a condition of Guarantor’s obligation to deposit collateral. This sum may be used by Surety to pay such claim or be held by Surety as collateral against any loss on any Transferred Bonds or under this Agreement. Any remaining sums deposited with Surety after payment of any and all sums due to Surety under this Agreement or otherwise shall be returned to Guarantor upon the complete release and/or discharge of Surety’s obligations and liability under all Transferred Bonds. The Surety’s demand for collateral shall be sufficient if sent by registered or certified mail, by facsimile transmission, or by personal service to Guarantor at the addresses stated herein, or at the address last known to the Surety, regardless of whether actually received. Guarantor acknowledges that the failure of Guarantor to deposit collateral with the Surety, immediately upon demand, shall cause irreparable harm to the Surety for which the Surety has no adequate remedy at law. Guarantor agrees that the Surety shall be entitled to injunctive relief for specific performance of the obligation to deposit with the Surety the sum demanded as collateral and waive any claims or defenses to the contrary.

5. UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE: This Agreement shall constitute a Security Agreement to the Surety and also a Financing Statement, both in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code of every jurisdiction wherein such Code is in effect, and may be so used by the Surety, without in any way abrogating, restricting or limiting the rights of the Surety under this Agreement or under law or in equity.

6. DISCHARGE: Guarantor shall promptly, upon demand, procure the full and complete discharge of Surety from all Transferred Bonds and all liability in connection with such Transferred Bonds. If Guarantor is unable to obtain discharge of any or all such Transferred Bonds within the time demanded, Guarantor shall promptly deposit with Surety an amount of money that Surety determines is sufficient to satisfy any liability or Loss with respect to any Transferred Bonds.

7. SURETY’S RIGHT TO SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE: Guarantor acknowledges that the failure of Guarantor to perform or comply with any provision of this Agreement shall cause irreparable harm to Surety for which Surety has no adequate remedy at law. Guarantor agrees that Surety shall be entitled to injunctive relief and/or specific performance, and Guarantor waives any claims or defenses to the contrary.

8. WAIVER OF NOTICE: Guarantor waives notice of the issuance, cancellation, renewal, replacement or substitution of any Transferred Bond, any Settlement or Modification, and any act, fact or information concerning or affecting the rights and liabilities of Surety or the rights or liabilities of Guarantor under the Transferred Bonds or this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice of any kind to which Principal or Guarantor or others might otherwise have been or be entitled, and notwithstanding any defenses they might have been or be entitled to assert.

9. OTHER SURETIES AS BENEFICIARIES: If Surety procures the execution of any Transferred Bond by other sureties, or executes any Transferred Bond with co-sureties, or reinsures any portion of any Transferred Bond with reinsuring sureties, then all the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of such other sureties, co-sureties and/or reinsuring sureties, including the right to bring an action for enforcement of this Agreement.

10. SURETY’S ADDITIONAL RIGHTS: This Agreement is in addition to and not in lieu of the GLDD Agreement (subject to the terms of the GLDD Transferring Release), the Dore Agreement and all other agreements of indemnity and any and all rights, powers, and remedies that Surety may have or acquire against Guarantor or any other person or entity, including but not limited to the parties to the Dore Agreement, whether by agreement, law or otherwise. Surety’s forbearance or failure to act to enforce any right shall not waive or diminish any of its rights, which rights may be enforced at any time in Surety’s sole discretion. Guarantor waives and subordinates all rights of indemnity, subrogation and contribution against any party to the Dore Agreement and/or any Principal until all obligations to Surety under this Agreement, at law or in equity, have been satisfied in full. Surety may enforce this Agreement against Guarantor in its sole discretion at any time and in whatever manner Surety sees fit, without joining any other person or entity, whether that person or entity is a party to the Dore Agreement or otherwise.

11. LAWSUITS AND JURISDICTION: Separate lawsuits may be brought under this Agreement as causes of action accrue, and the bringing of any lawsuit or the recovery of any judgment on any cause of action shall not prejudice or bar the bringing of other lawsuits, on the same or other causes of action, whether arising before or after any other lawsuit or cause of action. In any legal proceeding brought by or against Surety that in any way relates to this Agreement, Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction, at Surety’s sole option, of the Federal, state and local courts in which (a) Guarantor resides or has property, (b) any bonded obligation arises or is performed, in whole or in part, or (c) any action may be brought against Surety. Guarantor submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive and agree not to assert that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court or that the jurisdiction and/or venue is in an inconvenient forum or otherwise improper.

12. GOVERNING LAW: This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

13. EXECUTION AND CHANGES: This Agreement shall be effective and immediately binding as to Guarantor when Guarantor executes this Agreement, regardless of whether any other party has executed this Agreement or the Dore Agreement or fails to execute this Agreement or the Dore Agreement. This Agreement shall only be changed or modified in writing.

14. JURY WAIVER: Guarantor hereby knowingly and voluntarily waives and covenants that it will not assert any right to trial by jury in respect to any legal proceeding arising out of this Agreement.

15. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES: Guarantor represents and warrants the following: (a) Guarantor has a substantial, material, and/or beneficial interest in one or more Principals obtaining or maintaining the Transferred Bonds or in Surety refraining from canceling, renewing, extending, modifying, replacing or substituting any such Transferred Bond; (b) Guarantor has the full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform all obligations in this Agreement; (c) All information provided to Surety by Guarantor prior to and after the execution of this Agreement is true, accurate and complete in all material respects as of the time provided; and (d) Each right, power and remedy given to Surety, under any provision of this Agreement or otherwise, forms a material part of Surety’s consideration for Transferred Bonds.

16. LIMIT OF INDEMNITY AND GUARANTEE: Guarantor’s liability under this Agreement is limited to the sum of TWENTY-FIVE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($25,000,000).

17.	DEFINITIONS:

Bonded Contract means any contract or other obligation referred to in any Transferred Bond or secured by any Transferred Bond.

Change in Control has the meaning provided in the GLDD Agreement.

Dore Agreement means the General Indemnity Agreement executed by Dore & Associates Contracting, Inc. (“Dore”) and others, dated April 18, 2014. For clarity, this Agreement covers only the obligations of Dore and others with respect to the Transferred Bonds and the bonded obligations underlying such Transferred Bonds, and does not cover any other bond which Surety may issue for Dore or others which is not related to the Transferred Bonds.

Event of Default means any one or more of the following: (a) any abandonment, forfeiture, termination, default or breach of any Bonded Contract or any breach of any Transferred Bond; (b) receipt by Surety of any Claims under any Transferred Bond or declaration of default under any Transferred Bond; (c) breach of or failure to timely comply with this Agreement, or the Dore Agreement with respect to any Transferred Bond; (d) Guarantor becoming the subject of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, creditor assignment or trusteeship (whether voluntary or involuntary and whether insolvent or not); (e) a Change in Control; (f) any default, however described, which occurs under any document relating to the financial indebtedness of Guarantor, as a result of which that financial indebtedness is or becomes capable of being rendered prematurely due and payable; or (g) any representation by Guarantor to Surety which was materially false or misleading when made.

GLDD Agreement means the General Agreement of Indemnity executed by GLDD and the other GLDD Indemnitors, dated September 7, 2011, as subsequently modified, amended, supplemented or replaced, including but not limited to the Rider dated June 4, 2012, and all underlying and related agreements and modifications of agreements, including the Equipment Utilization Agreement dated June 4, 2012 and the Lender-Surety Agreement dated June 4, 2012. For clarity, this Agreement covers only the obligations of Guarantor and the other GLDD Indemnitors with respect to the Transferred Bonds and the Bonded Contracts and obligations underlying such Transferred Bonds, and does not cover any other bond which Surety may issue for Guarantor or any other GLDD Indemnitor which is not a Transferred Bond (the “Non-Transferred Bonds”), and with respect to those Non-Transferred Bonds, the GLDD Agreement remains in full force and effect.

GLDD Indemnitors means Guarantor and the other “Indemnitors” and “Contractors” party to the GLDD Agreement.

GLDD Transferring Release means the Second Rider to General Agreement of Indemnity with respect to NASDI/Yankee Transferred Bonds dated as of April 18, 2014 among Surety, Guarantor and the other GLDD Indemnitors, which is executed concurrently with this Agreement and which applies to the GLDD Agreement.

Good Faith means, with respect to any act, exercise of discretion or omission by Surety, an absence of bad faith, willful misconduct, dishonesty, evil intent and actual malice toward Guarantor.

Principal means any person or entity whose obligation is guaranteed by a Transferred Bond.
