Exhibit 10.10

THIS AGREEMENT made and entered into this 1st day of December 1985, by and between the MUNICIPALITY OF ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, a municipal corporation organized under the laws of the State of Alaska, (hereinafter called “Anchorage”) and SEA-LAND SERVICE, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called “Sea-Land”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Sea-Land or its affiliated companies desire to render year round ocean carrier service to and from the Port of Anchorage;

WHEREAS, Sea-Land desires to use certain wharf facilities and appurtenances owned and operated by Anchorage in connection with its shipping services and those of its agents or affiliated companies, and,

WHEREAS, Anchorage desires to make available to Sea-Land for Sea-Land’s preferential use certain of its facilities for said purpose; now, therefore,

IT IS AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

1. Description of Premises:

For and in consideration of the faithful performance by Sea-Land of the agreements, covenants, terms and conditions hereof, and the payments herein provided to be made by Sea-Land, Anchorage does hereby agree to furnish and otherwise make available to Sea-Land for its preferential use as hereinafter defined, the following described premises situated within the Municipality of Anchorage, Alaska,


PREFERENTIAL USE AGREEMENT WITH SEA-LAND SERVICE, INC.		PAGE 1

together with all improvements located thereon:

NOW, THEREFORE in consideration of their mutual undertakings, and other valuable consideration do hereby agree as follows:

(a) Anchorage hereby grants Sea-Land preferential berthing rights at the Port of Anchorage dock for 156 vessel calls per calendar year. The berthing area reserved for Sea-Land under this agreement consists of 920’ on Terminal 2 (hereinafter called the “facility”) as more particularly described in Appendix A attached hereto and made a part hereof.

The term “preferential berthing rights” shall, for purposes of this document, mean that Sea-Land shall be accorded the preferential right to berth a vessel 156 times in each calendar year at the facility, immediately upon the vessel’s arrival in the harbor of Anchorage, Alaska, during a period of 6 hours before and 24 hours after the established arrival times recited in a schedule filed by Sea-Land with the Port Director at least 15 days in advance. Sea-Land will promptly advise the Port Director of all schedule changes. Preferential berthing rights shall apply whether the berth is occupied by another vessel or not. Any other vessel, barge or craft, occupying the berth at the time Sea-Land’s vessel arrives in the period of 6 hours before and 24 hours after the scheduled arrival time, shall be immediately removed from the facility at no cost to Sea-Land.

Sea-Land shall make every reasonable effort to vacate the berth within 48 hours after time of arrival and mooring at the facility and shall not remain after this time unless a longer period is approved by the Port Director. In the event the arrival of Sea-


PREFERENTIAL USE AGREEMENT WITH SEA-LAND SERVICE, INC.		PAGE 2

Land’s vessel is delayed by more than 24 hours or is premature by more than 6 hours, Sea-Land shall immediately advise the Port Director who shall make every reasonable effort to conclude satisfactory alternative berthing arrangements.

Anchorage reserves secondary rights to occupy portions of the berth not occupied by Sea-Land’s vessel; provided, however, that Anchorage’s use of the facility shall not unreasonably interfere with Sea-Land’s preferential berthing rights; or, the loading or discharging of cargo to or from Sea-Land’s vessels; or the docking, undocking or mooring of Sea-Land’s vessels. Anchorage further reserves to itself the right to use all the berth when not occupied by Sea-Land’s vessel. The term “Sea-Land’s vessel” as used herein shall apply to vessels owned or operated by Sea-Land, its affiliated companies and to vessels which either Sea-Land or an affiliated company space charters.

In the event Sea-Land shall, at any time during the term of this agreements, decide to increase the frequency of its vessel calls at the Port of Anchorage, Sea-Land shall immediately advise Anchorage of such fact and Anchorage shall make every reasonable effort to accommodate Sea-Land’s additional vessels at the Port of Anchorage dock.

1. In the event Sea-Land shall berth its vessel in excess of the one hundred and fifty-six (156) calls per Agreement year as provided in sub-paragraph (b) of paragraph 1 of the Agreement, the tonnage fees assessed against such excess calls shall be at the rate set forth in Anchorage’s terminal tariff.

2. Sea-Land agrees to berth its vessels at Terminal 2.

2. Term - Option to Extend:

The initial term of this agreement shall be for a period of approximately five (5) years commencing on the day immediately following the date which the Federal Maritime Commission designates as the effective date pursuant to the Shipping Act of 1984, and terminating on December 31, 1990.

It is expressly understood and agreed that Sea-Land has and is hereby granted the option to extend the term of this agreement for


PREFERENTIAL USE AGREEMENT WITH SEA-LAND SERVICE, INC.		PAGE 4

five (5) successive periods of five (5) years each. Any extension of this agreement granted pursuant to this paragraph shall be governed by the same terms and conditions applying during the basic or initial term; provided however, that the usage charge may be adjusted as provided in Article 3 herein prior to the beginning of any extended term of the agreement. Sea-land shall give Anchorage, at least three (3) months prior to the expiration of the original term or any extended term of this agreement, written notice of its intention to so extend the agreement, for a subsequent term. The term of this agreement from its commencement including the initial term and any extended terms shall not exceed beyond December 31, 2015.

3. Payments:

A. In consideration of the privileges and facilities extended to Sea-Land pursuant to Article 1 hereof, Sea-Land hereby agrees to pay Anchorage as full compensation the following sums as an annual preferential users charge for its use of the premises and other privileges set forth herein; provided, however, said annual users charge may be reviewed and adjusted after each five (5) years of occupancy as provided in Part B of this article:

(a) The sum of $585,000 per agreement year in consideration for which Sea-Land shall be permitted to handle (including, but not limited to receiving, loading, discharging or delivering) over the facilities of the Port of Anchorage including use of the premises pursuant to Article 1 at no additional charge 250,000 tons of cargo per calendar year. (All tons shall be of 2,000 lbs. each.)

(b) For each ton of cargo in excess of 250,000 tons up to


PREFERENTIAL USE AGREEMENT WITH SEA-LAND SERVICE, INC.		PAGE 5

500,000 tons per calendar year handled by Sea-Land across the premises, Sea-Land shall pay the sum of $2.23 per ton; for each ton of cargo in excess of 500,000 tons up to 625,000 tons per calendar year handled by Sea-Land across the premises, Sea-Land shall pay the sum of $2.09 per ton; for each such ton in excess of 625,000 tons per calendar year Sea-Land shall pay the sum of $1.96 per ton.

(c) Transshipment cargo (i.e., cargo delivered to Anchorage for transfer to another vessel) shall be taken as a single through movement and shall be included only one time for purpose of determining the tonnage charges.

It is further understood and agreed that the payment of the charges enumerated herein, shall be in lieu of the payment of wharfage and dockage charges customarily assessed for the use of the premises or any such charge or charges that may be assessed in the future.

B. After each five (5) years of effectiveness of this agreement, the annual users charge as provided in Part A subparagraph (a) of this article shall be reviewed by the parties and when costs and land values have changed, the parties shall renegotiate the annual users charge to be applied during each successive five (5) year period of this agreement. In the negotiations to establish the annual users charge for the subsequent or succeeding five (5) year period, the parties shall take into consideration the character of the property, its value, the fair rental value of similar land improvements devoted to similar use, the terms, conditions and restrictions of this agreement and any other factors or data necessary for proper determination of a fair


PREFERENTIAL USE AGREEMENT WITH SEA-LAND SERVICE, INC.		PAGE 6

annual users charge.

The renegotiated annual users charge for the succeeding five (5) year term shall be no less than eighty percent (80%) nor more than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the annual users charge in effect during the five (5) year term immediately preceding such period of adjustment unless Anchorage demonstrates that inflation cumulatively totaling in excess of thirty percent (30%) has existed during the five (5) year term immediately preceding the adjustment. If Anchorage demonstrates inflation cumulatively totaling in excess of thirty percent (30%) has existed during the five (5) year term immediately preceding the adjustment and if Sea-Land has been profitable during the five year term immediately preceding the adjustment, an annual users charge greater than 120 percent (120%) of the annual users charge in effect during the five (5) year term immediately preceding such period of adjustment may be negotiated. If the parties fail to reach agreement on Sea-Land’s profitability and/or the cumulative rate of inflation during the five (5) year term immediately preceding the adjustment, the rates for both shall be established by a mutually agreeable arbitrator.

The adjustment, if any, to be made after the first five (5) years of occupancy under the initial term of this agreement shall be agreed upon by the parties and, in the case of any extended term of this agreement, within thirty (30) days of the date of Sea-Land’s notice of its desire to exercise its option pursuant to Article 2 hereof to extend the agreement for an additional five (5) year period. If the parties are unable to agree upon a fair annual users fee within said periods, either party may terminate this agreement


PREFERENTIAL USE AGREEMENT WITH SEA-LAND SERVICE, INC.		PAGE 7

and such termination shall not be considered a default or forfeiture hereunder nor will any penalties be applied.

C. The charges provided herein shall be paid Anchorage by Sea-Land in monthly installments with each installment representing payment for the preceeding month’s tonnage. Such payments shall become due 15 days following the Port of Anchorage’s submission of an invoice to Sea-Land.

The monthly payment of charges hereunder shall be accompanied by a report in a form satisfactory to the Port Director summarizing all cargo loaded and discharged to and from Sea-Land’s vessels at the premises. Anchorage may from time to time inspect Sea-Land’s records and accounts relating to the loading and discharging of cargo in order to verify the accuracy of Sea-Land’s reports and the amount of payment due.

4. Use Of Premises:

Policies, procedures and rules established in the Port of Anchorage Tariff control all Sea-Land activities within the Port except as specifically identified in this agreement.

Sea-Land is engaged in transportation services and shall use the premises in the furtherance of its business which use shall include, but not be confined to, the receiving, delivery, handling and storage of cargo, the docking of vessels including vessels of its affiliated companies and the loading and discharging of cargo to and from such vessel, including, but not limited to, cargo in containers. In the event any local, state or federal ordinance or law shall prevent Sea-Land from engaging in the aforementioned activities, at the premises, or if Sea-Land is denied reasonable


PREFERENTIAL USE AGREEMENT WITH SEA-LAND SERVICE, INC.		PAGE 8

convenient access over areas owned or controlled by Anchorage for the movement of its tractors, trailers, or chassis between the premises and public streets and highways, Sea-Land may, at its option, with thirty (30) days written notice to Anchorage, terminate this agreement without penalty.

Sea-Land shall keep the dock clear of equipment and material except those vehicles, equipment or material necessary to efficiently perform the receiving, delivery or handling of freight or the loading or discharging of vessels. Vehicles shall be parked in accordance with such reasonable rules as may be established by the Port Director.

5. Dredging and Repairs/Maintenance:

Anchorage shall be responsible for all required maintenance dredging at or around the pier including any dredging required between the pier and channels maintained by the United States Government to a minimum depth of 30 feet draft at mean low water. Anchorage will pay the cost of any structural repairs to the pier, piling or bulkheads other than repairs made necessary by the negligence of Sea-Land, its affiliates, agents, employees or licensees.

Future maintenance dredging costs exceeding $50,000 per year incurred by or charged to the Port of Anchorage will be reimbursed by Port users, including Sea-Land.

6. Hold Harmless Agreement & Liability Insurance:

Sea-Land shall indemnify and save Anchorage harmless from any and all liability, claims, suits, judgements, expenses, counsel fees or payments of any kind on account of injury or death to any person or persons, or damage to any property arising from Sea-Land’s, its


PREFERENTIAL USE AGREEMENT WITH SEA-LAND SERVICE, INC.		PAGE 9

affiliates, employees or agents, use of the premises and the improvements and equipment located thereon, whether such injuries occur upon said premises or not and at its own sole expense Sea-Land shall defend Anchorage against any such claims, law suits, proceedings or judgments; provided however, the liabilities and claims arising out of the negligence of Anchorage or its agents, invitees or other tenants, are excepted from this Hold Harmless Agreement.

During the term of this agreement, Sea-Land at its sole expense, shall provide and maintain Employers Liability and Workers Compensation as required by Alaska State Statutes and the Federal Longshoremen and Harbor Workers Act and the Federal Maritime Liability Law (▇▇▇▇▇ Act), public liability and property damage insurance with respect to the premises with limits of at least $500,000 for comprehensive general liability, $500,000 for comprehensive vehicle liability and 2,000,000 for excess liability insurance. All required policies shall include Anchorage as a co-insured and Sea-Land shall furnish the Anchorage Municipal Attorney with a copy of the policy. Anchorage shall have the rights to require reasonable increases to the limits of coverage specified above at each five (5) years renewal, if any, of this agreement.

7. Assignment:

Sea-Land shall not, either directly or indirectly, assign, hypothecate, encumber or transfer this agreement or any interest therein, or license the use of same in whole or in part, without written consent of Anchorage which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.


PREFERENTIAL USE AGREEMENT WITH SEA-LAND SERVICE, INC.		PAGE 10

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this article, Sea-Land may without the prior permission of Anchorage, assign this agreement in whole, but not in part, to a subsidiary, affiliated, controlled or controlling corporation, or a corporation with which Sea-Land is merged.

8. Destruction of Premises:

Whenever the premises or any essential part thereof shall be destroyed by fire, earthquake or other casualty or cause, this agreement shall terminate in the case of total destruction; and in the case of partial destruction or damage, so as to make a portion of the premises unusable, this agreement shall terminate with respect to such damaged or destroyed portion, or at Sea-Land’s option, the agreement may be terminated in its entirety. In the event this agreement is terminated by virtue of total destruction to the premises or Sea-Land elects to terminate the agreement due to partial destruction or damage, no preferential users charge or other payments shall accrue to Anchorage after such destruction or after receipt of Sea-Land’s written notice that it desires to terminate the agreement in the case of partial destruction or damage. In the event the premises are partially destroyed or damaged, and Sea-land does not elect to terminate this agreement, the preferential users charge and other payments shall be abated in proportion to the extent that said premises are not tenable and usable by Sea-Land. Should Sea-Land elect not to terminate this agreement, Anchorage will, with reasonable diligence and dispatch restore the premises, as near as practical, to their former condition, and Sea-Land’s obligations to pay preferential users charges and other sums shall


PREFERENTIAL USE AGREEMENT WITH SEA-LAND SERVICE, INC.		PAGE 11

be reinstated immediately upon use or completion of such improvements to the premises.

9. Forfeiture:

This agreement is made upon the condition that if the payments which Sea-land herein agrees to pay, or any part thereof, shall be unpaid on the date on which the same shall become due, or if default be made in any of the terms, agreements, conditions or covenants herein contained on the part of Sea-Land and such conditions remain uncured or payments remain unpaid beyond the expiration of written notice of default as provided in this article, this agreement shall become forfeited, and Anchorage may exercise all rights of entry and re-entry upon the premises. Sea-Land shall not be considered in default as to any provisions of this agreement where such default is the result of, or pursuant to, any process, order or decree of any court or regulatory body or because of a work stoppage arising from a labor dispute. No default shall be declared by Anchorage as to any breach which may be cured or obviated by Sea-land until the expiration of thirty (30) days after written notice by Anchorage to Sea-land of such default and if, during such thirty (30) day period, such default shall have been cured or obviated; provided, that only ten (10) days written notice shall be required in the case of a default in the payments of sums herein provided to be paid by Sea-Land; and provided further that, except for failure to make payments of money when due, no default shall be declared by Anchorage if Sea-Land shall commence to cure or obviate such default prior to the expiration of such notice period and shall prosecute such work to completion with reasonable diligence, even though performance of


PREFERENTIAL USE AGREEMENT WITH SEA-LAND SERVICE, INC.		PAGE 12

such term agreement, condition or covenant shall not have been effected or completed strictly within the period during which the same should have been effected or completed,

Sea-Land shall not be considered in default as to any provisions of this agreement if the non-payment of sums as provided in this agreement is occasioned by Anchorage’s failure to repair and maintain the premises as provided in Article 5 in a good, and workable condition; or if Anchorage fails to maintain the other convenants set forth herein.

10. Right to Entry as Agent:

In any case in which provision is made herein for the termination of this agreement by Anchorage, due to forfeiture or default by Sea-land, Anchorage in lieu of declaring a forfeiture may enter upon the premises. To such end, Sea-Land hereby irrevocably appoints Anchorage its agent to remove any and all persons or property on said premises and place any such property in storage for the account of and at the expense of Sea-Land. In such case, Anchorage may lease or otherwise dispose of the premises upon such terms as to it may seem proper, and if a sufficient sum shall not be realized thereby, after paying expenses of such leasing or disposal to satisfy the sums herein agreed to be paid by Sea-Land, Sea-Land agrees to pay any such deficiency. Sea-Land further agrees to save Anchorage harmless from any losses or damage or claim arising out of the action of Anchorage in pursuance of this paragraph.

No mention in this agreement of any specific right or remedy shall preclude Anchorage from exercising any other right or from having any other remedy to which it may otherwise be entitled at law


PREFERENTIAL USE AGREEMENT WITH SEA-LAND SERVICE, INC.		PAGE 13

or inequity, and, but not by way of limitation, Anchorage shall be entitled to the benefit of all public local laws and public general laws of Alaska respecting the speedy recovery of lands and tenements held over by tenants or proceedings in forcible entry and detainer.

1. Paragraph 1 of the Preferential Usage Agreement entitled “Description of Premises”, is amended to read as follows:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the parties’ mutual undertakings, and other valuable consideration do hereby agree as follows:

Anchorage hereby grants Sea-Land preferential berthing rights at the Port of Anchorage dock for 135 vessel calls per calendar year.

AMENDMENT TO PREFERENTIAL USAGE

AGREEMENT WITH SEA-LAND SERVICE, INC.

Page 2

in a schedule filed by Sea-Land with the Port Director at least 15 days in advance. Sea-Land will promptly advise the Port Director of all schedule changes. Preferential berthing rights shall apply whether the berth is occupied by another vessel or not. Any other vessel, barge or craft, occupying the berth at the time Sea-Land’s vessel arrives in the period of 6 hours before and 24 hours after the scheduled arrival time, shall be immediately removed from the facility at no cost to Sea-Land.

Sea-Land shall make every reasonable effort to vacate the berth within 48 hours after time of arrival and mooring at the facility and shall net remain after this time unless a longer period is approved by the Port Director. In the event the arrival of Sea-Land’s vessel is delayed by more than 24 hours or is premature by more than 6 hours, Sea-Land shall immediately advise the Port Director who shall make every reasonable effort to conclude satisfactory alternative berthing arrangements.

Anchorage reserves secondary rights to occupy portions of the berth not occupied by Sea-Land’s vessel; provided, however, that Anchorage’s use of the facility shall not unreasonably interfere with Sea-Land’s preferential berthing rights ; or the loading or discharging of cargo to or from Sea-Land’s vessels; or the docking, undocking or mooring of Sea-Land’s vessels. Anchorage further reserves to itself the right to use all the berth when net occupied by Sea-Land’s vessel. The term “Sea-Land’s vessel” as used herein shall apply to vessels owned

or operated by Sea-Land, its affiliated companies and to vessels which either Sea-Land or an affiliated company space charters. In. the event Sea-Land shall, at any time during the term of this Agreement, decide to increase the frequency of its vessel calls at the Port of Anchorage, Sea-Land shall immediately advise Anchorage of such fact and Anchorage shall make every reasonable effort to accommodate Sea-Land’s additional vessels at the Port of Anchorage Dock.

2. Paragraph 3 of the Preferential Usage Agreement entitled “Payments” is amended to read as follows:

Sea-Land hereby agrees to pay Anchorage as full compensation wharfage and dockage rates as follows:

A. Wharfage rates – in consideration for Anchorage granting Sea-Land permission to handle (including, but not limited to receiving, loading, discharging or delivering) cargo over the facilities of the Port of Anchorage, including use of the premises pursuant to Article 1:

(i) For each ton of cargo up to 400,000 tons per calendar year, Sea-Land shall pay the sum of $1.79 per ton; for each ton of cargo in excess of 400,000 tons, up to 500,000 tons per calendar year, See-Land shall pay the sum of $1.685 per ton; for each ton of cargo in excess of 500,000 tons, up to 600,000 tons per calendar year, Sea-Land shall pay the sum of $1.75 per ton; and for each ton in excess of 600,000 tons per calendar year, Sea-Land shall pay the sum of $1.50 per ton. In the event

AMENDMENT TO PREFERENTIAL USAGE

AGREEMENT WITH SEA-LAND SERVICE, INC.

Page 4

Anchorage determines at the end of any calendar year that Sea-Land had handled less than 500,000 tons in that calendar year, Anchorage shall ▇▇▇▇ Sea-Land pursuant to the preceding rates for that amount of tonnage necessary to total 500,000 tons. In the event Anchorage determines at the end of any calendar year that the total annual combined tonnage handled by Sea-Land and the other major container carrier at the Port of Anchorage totals less than 1,000,000 in that calendar year, the rates to be applied during the remaining period of the five year term shall be subject to renegotiation. If the parties are unable to agree upon rates within thirty (30) days of the end of the calendar year, either party may terminate this agreement and such termination shall not be considered a default or forfeiture hereunder nor will any penalties be applied. All references to tons shall mean tons of 2,000 pounds each.

B. Dockage rates – in consideration for Anchorage granting Sea-Land permission to dock at the Port of Anchorage, including use of the premises pursuant to Article I, Sea-Land agrees to pay the dockage rates set forth in Appendix B attached hereto. Such rates shall apply regardless of any change in tariff dockage rates.

C. Transshipment cargo (i.e., cargo delivered to Anchorage for transfer to another vessel) shall be taken as a single through movement and shall be included only one time for purpose of determining the wharfage rate.

D. After each five (5) years of effectiveness of this agreement, the annual user charges as provided in Part A and B above shall be reviewed by the parties and when costs and land values have changed, the parties shall renegotiate the annual users charges to be applied during each successive five (5) year period of this agreement. In the negotiations to establish the annual users charges for the subsequent or succeeding five (5) year period, the parties shall take into consideration the character of the property, its value, the fair rental value of similar land improvements devoted to similar use, the terms, conditions and restrictions of this agreement and any other factors or data necessary for proper determination of fair annual users charges.

greater than 120 percent (120%) of the annual users charges in effect during the five (5) year term immediately preceding such period of adjustment may be negotiated. If the parties fail to reach agreement on Sea-Land’s profitability and/or the cumulative rate of inflation during the five (5) year term immediately preceding the adjustment, the rates for both shall be established by a mutually agreeable arbitrator.

The adjustment, if any, to be made prior to any extended term of this agreement shall be agreed upon by the parties within thirty (30) days of the date of Sea-Land’s notice of its desire to exercise its option pursuant to Article 2 hereof to extend the agreement for an additional five (5) year period. If the parties are unable to agree upon fair annual users fees within said period, either party may terminate this agreement and such termination shall not be considered a default or forfeiture hereunder nor will any penalties be applied.

E. Except for any annual deficit charge pursuant to Part A above, the charges provided for herein shall be paid to Anchorage by Sea-Land in monthly installments with each installment representing payment for the preceeding month’s wharfage and dockage.

summarizing all cargo loaded and discharged to and from Sea-Land’s vessels at the premises. Anchorage may from time to time inspect Sea-Land’s records and accounts relating to the loading and discharging of cargo in order to verify the accuracy of Sea-Land’s reports and the amount of payment due.

3. The following paragraph is added to the Preferential Usage Agreement as paragraph 16:

Claim Resolution. Sea-Land agrees to take such actions as are reasonably necessary for the timely resolution of claims against Sea-Land for damages occurring on Port of Anchorage premises including, but not limited to:

(a)

Promptly notifying the Port Operations Manager of any claim; and

(b)

In the event that a settlement cannot be reached between the Port Operations Manager and the Sea-Land Marine Manager, Anchorage, or their designees, within 72 hours after the receipt of the claim by Sea-Land, reference of the claim to a Damage Resolution Committee composed of the Port Director and Sea-Land’s General Manager, Alaska. Such Committee will convene within 7 2 hours after receipt by the Committee of the claim unless a latter time is mutually agreed to by both parties. If the Committee fails to resolve the claim, the claim shall be resolved by a mutually agreeable arbitrator; the costs of arbitration shall be equally borne by the parties.

4. Except as specifically provided to the contrary herein, all terms and conditions of the parties’ original 1986 Preferential Usage Agreement shall remain unchanged by this Amendment. Any clause, term or provision of the original 1986

Agreement which is in conflict with this Amendment shall be disregarded and this Amendment shall be deemed controlling.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual undertakings, and other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

1.	Article 1 of the PUA, entitled “Description of Premises”, is amended in its’ entirety to read as follows:

For and in consideration of the faithful performance by CSX of the agreements, covenants, terms and conditions hereof, and the payments herein agreed to be made by CSX. MOA agrees to furnish and otherwise make available to CSX for its preferential use as defined below, the following described premises situated within the Municipality of Anchorage, together with all improvements located thereon as follows:

MOA grants CSX preferential berthing rights at the Port of Anchorage dock for One hundred fifty-six (156) vessel calls per calendar year. The berthing area reserved for CSX under the PUA consists of Nine hundred twenty (920) feet on Terminal 2 (hereinafter “Facility”) as more particularly described in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated by reference.

The term “Preferential Berthing Rights”, for purposes of the PUA, means CSX shall be accorded the preferential right to berth vessels One hundred fifty-six (156) times each calendar year at the Facility, immediately upon the vessel’s arrival in the harbor of Anchorage, Alaska, during the period of three (3) hours before and twenty-four (24) hours after the established arrival times set forth in a schedule filed by CSX with the Port Director at least fifteen (15) days in advance. CSX shall promptly advise the Port Director of all schedule changes. Preferential Berthing Rights shall apply whether the berth is occupied by another vessel or not. Any other vessel, barge or craft, occupying the berth at the time a CSX vessel arrives in the period of three (3) hours before and twenty-four (24) hours after the scheduled arrival time shall be immediately removed from the Facility, at no cost to CSX.

CSX shall make reasonable effort to vacate the berth within thirty-six (36) hours after docking at the Facility and shall not remain after this time unless a longer period is approved by the Port Director. In the event the arrival of a CSX vessel is delayed more than twenty-four (24) hours or is premature more than three (3) hours, CSX shall immediately advise the Port Director, who shall make every reasonable effort to assist with berthing arrangements.

MOA reserves secondary rights to occupy portions of the berth not occupied by a CSX vessel; provided, however, that MOA use of the Facility shall not unreasonably interfere with:

CSX Preferential Berthing Rights; or

The loading or discharging of cargo to or from CSX vessels: or

The docking, undocking or the process of maneuvering a CSX vessel to or from the dock.

MOA further reserves the right to use the berth when not occupied by a CSX vessel. The term “CSX vessel” shall apply to vessels operated by CSX, its affiliated companies, and to vessels on which either CSX or an affiliated company charters space. In the event CSX decides, at any time during this PUA, to increase the frequency of vessel calls at the Port of Anchorage, CSX shall immediately notify MOA. MOA shall make every reasonable effort to accommodate additional CSX vessels at the Port of Anchorage dock.

2.	Article 3 of the PUA, entitled “Payments”, is amended in its’ entirety to read as follows:

CSX shall pay MOA wharfage and dockage rates, including use of all facilities and premises described in Paragraph 1 above, as follows:

Wharfage rates. CSX may handle cargo including, but not limited to receiving, loading, discharging or delivering, over the facilities of the Port of Anchorage, including use of the premises pursuant to Article 1 at the following rates:

(i)

The annual 2001 wharfage rate shall be $1,544,978 divided into twelve (12) equal monthly payments, to be remitted on the first day of each month.

(ii)

The annual wharfage rate shall be adjusted, during the term of this third renewal period, based on number of revenue loads in the previous year. A revenue load is defined as:

Any container passing over the Port of Anchorage’s dock which either originates or terminates in the Alaska railbelt for which CSX receives compensation, including ALPAR loads.

The revenue load rate of $25.99 per load is determined by dividing the 2001 annual wharfage charge of $1,544,978 by the 59,439 revenue loads in the year 2000. The annual wharfage rate for the next year shall be adjusted to the total of the number of CSX revenue loads for the previous year multiplied by revenue load rate of $25.99. (Example: The 2002 annual wharfage charge shall be determined by multiplying the number of 2001 revenue loads by $25.99.)

Dockage rates. CSX may dock at the Port of Anchorage, including use of the premises pursuant to Article 1 at a dockage rate of $1,113.00 per twelve (12) hour period. Dockage charges shall be paid to MOA by CSX in monthly installments, with each installment representing payment for the preceding month’s dockage. Such dockage rate shall apply regardless of any change by MOA in tariff dockage rates for other users during the term of this third renewal period.

Transshipment cargo. CSX cargo delivered to Anchorage for transfer to another vessel shall be taken as a single through-movement and shall be included only one time for purposes of determining wharfage rate.

After each five (5) year period of this PUA, the annual user charges provided in Paragraph A and B above shall be reviewed by the parties. When costs, land values, and the rate of inflation changes, the parties shall renegotiate the annual user charges to be applied to each subsequent five (5) year period. In the negotiations to establish the annual user charges for a subsequent five (5) year period, the parties shall take into consideration the character of the property, its market value, the fair rental value of similar land improvements devoted to similar use, the terms, conditions and restrictions of this PUA, and any other factors or data necessary for proper determination of fair annual user charges.

Third Amendment to PUA

CSX Lines of Alaska, LLC

Page 4 of 8

The renegotiated annual user charges for a subsequent five (5) year period shall be no less than eighty percent (80%) nor more than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the annual users charges in effect during the five (5) year term immediately preceding such adjustment.

The adjustment, if any, shall be agreed upon by the parties within thirty (30) days of the date of CSX’s notice to exercise an option to extend the PUA for an additional five (5) year period pursuant to Article 2. If the parties are unable to agree upon an annual user fee within said period, either party may terminate this PUA and such termination shall not be considered a default or forfeiture nor shall any penalties be applied.

Except for any annual deficit charge pursuant to Paragraph A above, the charges provided for herein shall be paid to MOA by CSX in monthly installments, with each installment representing payment for the preceding month’s dockage. All payments, including any deficit charge, shall be due fifteen (15) days following the Port of Anchorage’s delivery of an invoice to CSX.

Monthly payment of charges must be accompanied by a report, in a form satisfactory to the Port Director, summarizing all cargo loaded and discharged to and from CSX vessels at the premises. MOA may from time to time inspect CSX records and accounts relating to the loading and discharging of cargo in order to verify the accuracy of CSX reports and the amount of payment due.

3.	The rates quoted in Paragraph 2 above shall commence on January 1, 2001 and continue through December 31, 2005

4.	Article 5 of the PUA, entitled “Dredging and Repairs/Maintenance”, is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

MOA shall be responsible for all required maintenance dredging at or around the pier, including any dredging required between the pier and channels maintained by the U. S. Government, to a minimum depth of 30 feet draft at mean low water. MOA shall pay the cost of any structural repairs to the pier, piling or bulkheads other than repairs made necessary by the acts, errors, omissions or negligence of CSX, its affiliates, agents, employees or licensees.
