Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.6 to the Global Disclosure
Letter, the ROV Business Assumed Contracts may be assigned to
Oceaneering without any authorization, consent, approval,
permission or license of, or filing with, any other Person.

    5.7     Licenses and Permits.  The Permits listed in Schedule
1.1(d) to the Global Disclosure Letter constitute all the Permits
held by Global or any Global Affiliate that primarily relate to
the ROV Business and, except as set forth in Schedule 5.7 to the
Global Disclosure Letter, constitute all material Permits
necessary under applicable Laws, including applicable
Environmental Laws, for Global and the Global Affiliates to own,
operate, maintain and use the ROV Business Assets in the manner
in which they are now, and during the preceding 12 months have
been, operated, maintained and used.  Each of such Permits and
the rights of Global or any Global Affiliate with respect thereto
are valid and subsisting, in full force and effect and
enforceable by Global or such Global Affiliate.  Global or the
applicable Global Affiliate (depending on the holder thereof) is
now and has at all times in the past 12 months been in compliance
with the terms of such Permits except, in each case, where
failure to remain in compliance would not (i) have a Material
Adverse Effect on the ROV Business Assets or (ii) result in any
Lien on any of the ROV Business Assets after the Effective Time.
None of such Permits has been or, to the knowledge of Global, is
threatened to be revoked, canceled, suspended or modified.

    5.8     Compliance with Law.  Global and the Global Affiliates
have operated the ROV Business Assets in compliance with all
applicable Laws, including Environmental Laws, the Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act and the Export Administration Act and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder except, in each
case, where failure to comply would not have a Material Adverse
Effect on the ROV Business Assets.  Neither Global nor any Global
Affiliates, nor any officer, employee or agent thereof has any
agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether written or oral)
to make any payment, contribution or gift to a Governmental
Entity or third Person that would, if applicable to such Person,
constitute a violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or
any applicable Law nor is any ROV Assumed Business Contract or
Permit primarily  related to the ROV Business dependent on any
such payment, contribution or gift.  Neither Global nor any
Global Affiliate is a "national" of a "designated foreign
country" (or a Person defined as a "designated foreign
country") within the definitions in the Foreign, Cuban or
Iranian Assets Control Regulations of the United States Treasury
Department, 31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended, or any
regulation or ruling issued thereunder.

    5.9     LitigationError! Bookmark not defined..  Except as
described in Schedule 5.9 to the Global Disclosure Letter, there
is no Action pending or, to the knowledge of Global, threatened
against or which otherwise relates to the ROV Business Assets or
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Neither Global,
any Global Affiliates nor any of the ROV Business Assets is
subject to any outstanding order, writ, injunction or decree that
would have a Material Adverse Effect on the ownership, use or
value of the ROV Business Assets or would prevent or delay the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

    5.10    Brokers.  Neither Global, the Global Affiliates, nor
any of their respective officers, directors or employees has
employed any financial advisor, broker or lender or incurred any
liability for any financial advisory, brokerage or finder's fee
or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby.

    6.3     Protection of Value of Diving Business Assets.  Because
of Oceaneering's access to the Diving Business' confidential
information and trade secrets, Oceaneering would be in a unique
position to divert business from the Diving Business and to
commit irreparable damage to the Diving Business were Oceaneering
to be allowed to compete with the Diving Business or to commit
any of the other acts prohibited by this Section  6.3;
Oceaneering acknowledges that the enforcement of said restrictive
covenants against Oceaneering will not impose any undue burden
upon Oceaneering, that none of said restrictive covenants is
unreasonable as to period or geographic area, and that the
ability to enforce said restrictive covenants against Oceaneering
is a material inducement to the decision of Global to consummate
the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.  Oceaneering
acknowledges that Global would not purchase the Diving Business
Assets but for the agreements and covenants of Oceaneering
contained in this Section 6.3.  Accordingly, Oceaneering
covenants and agrees as follows:

        (a)     Covenant.  Oceaneering shall not, and will cause
its Affiliates not to, at any time prior to October 1, 2005,
(i) use any assets owned, leased or operated by Oceaneering
or any of its Affiliates to perform commercial diving
services (other than for the United States Navy or for ship
and marine vessel inspection, cleaning, repair and
maintenance) in the waters of Australia, New Zealand, India,
Egypt, South and Southeast Asia and China as well as the
Persian Gulf and the Red Sea, as more particularly set out
in Appendix III (the "Geographic Area"), or (ii) acquire
or maintain more than a one-third equity ownership or
profits interest in any Person (other than any special
purpose entity formed for the purpose of completing a single
contract or a series of related contracts with any customer
of Oceaneering or that special purpose entity) that
generates (A) at the time of the acquisition more than 12.5%
of its revenues or (B) at any time after such acquisition
through October 1, 2005, more than the greater of (1) 33% of
its revenues for any calendar year and (2) $5 million of
revenues for any calendar year, in the case of (A) or (B)
from commercial diving services (other than for the United
States Navy or for ship and marine inspection, cleaning,
repair, and maintenance) in the Georgraphic Area;  provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Oceaneering
or any of its Affiliates from subcontracting for commercial
diving services in the Geographic Area in connection with
any work performed for its customers; and provided, further,
that the foregoing provision shall not apply to any business
acquired by Oceaneering or any of its Affiliates after the
date hereof that has conducted diving services in the
Geographic Area during the 12 months preceding such
acquisition so long as (i) the total revenues of the
subsequently acquired business (taken together with any
related business acquired in the same transaction or a
series of related transactions (collectively, the
"Subsequently Acquired Business")) for the then most
recently completed period of 12 consecutive calendar months
that are attributable to commercial diving services in the
Geographic Area are less than 12.5% of the total revenues of
the Subsequently Acquired Business for that 12-month period
and (ii) the total consideration paid for the Subsequently
Acquired Business is equal to or exceeds $50 million.

	(b)	Solicitation of Business.  Until October 1, 2005,
Oceaneering shall not, and will cause its Affiliates not to
solicit or assist any other Person to solicit to perform
commercial diving services in the Geographic Area other than
for Global or its Affiliates (except to the extent of the
exceptions set forth in clause (a) above).

	(c)	Confidential Information.  From and after the date
of this Agreement, Oceaneering shall, and shall cause its
Affiliates to, keep secret and retain in strictest
confidence, and shall not, directly or indirectly, use in
the Geographic Area for the benefit of any Person other than
Oceaneering (including for this purpose, any Person who
controls Oceaneering), Global and their respective
Affiliates and customers all confidential matters and trade
secrets known relating to the Diving Business, including
customer lists, pricing policies, operational methods and
marketing plans or strategies, and shall not divulge,
disclose or make assessable to any Person outside of
Oceaneering (including for this purpose, any Person who
controls Oceaneering), Global and their respective
Affiliates any such information except upon Global's express
prior written consent.

        (d)     Rights and Remedies upon Breach.  If Oceaneering
breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the
provisions of this Section 6.3, Global shall have the
following rights and remedies:

                (i)     the right and remedy to have the restrictive
covenants in this Section 6.3 specifically enforced by
any court having equity jurisdiction and Oceaneering
acknowledges and agrees that any such breach or
threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to
Global and that monetary damages will not provide an
adequate remedy to Global; and

                (ii)    the right and remedy to require Oceaneering
to indemnify Global against any losses, damages, costs
and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
court costs, which may be incurred by it and which
result from or arise out of or relate to any such
breach or threatened breach of the restrictive
covenants in this Section 6.3.

	(e)	Severability of Covenants.  If any court of
competent jurisdiction determines that any of the
restrictive covenants in this Section 6.3, or any part
thereof, is invalid or unenforceable with respect to
Oceaneering, the remainder of the restrictive covenants in
this Section 6.3 shall not thereby be affected and shall be
given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions.
If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any
of the restrictive covenants in this Section 6.3, or any
part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration of
such provision or the area covered thereby, such court shall
have the power to reduce the duration or area of such
provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall
then be enforceable and shall be enforced.  Oceaneering
hereby waives any and all right to attack the validity of
the restrictive covenants in this Section 6.3 on the grounds
of the breadth of their geographic scope or the length of
their term.

	(f)	Enforceability in Jurisdictions.  Each of
Oceaneering and Global intends to and does hereby consent to
and subject itself to the jurisdiction of the courts of any
jurisdiction within the Geographic Area to enforce the
restrictive covenants in this Section 6.3.  If the courts of
any one or more of such jurisdictions hold the restrictive
covenants in this Section 6.3 unenforceable by reason of the
breadth of such scope or otherwise, it is the intention of
Global and Oceaneering that such determination not bar or in
any way affect the right of Global to the relief provided
above in the courts of any other jurisdiction within the
geographical scope of such covenants, as to breaches of such
covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, such
covenants as they relate to each jurisdiction being, for
this purpose, severable into diverse and independent
covenants.

    6.4     Protection of Value of ROV Purchased Assets.  Because
of Global's access to the ROV Business' confidential information
and trade secrets, Global would be in a unique position to divert
business from the ROV Business and to commit irreparable damage
to the ROV Business were Global to be allowed to compete with the
ROV Business or to commit any of the other acts prohibited by
this Section 6.4; Global acknowledges that the enforcement of
said restrictive covenants against Global will not impose any
undue burden upon Global, that none of said restrictive covenants
is unreasonable as to period or geographic area, and that the
ability to enforce said restrictive covenants against Global is a
material inducement to the decision of Oceaneering to consummate
the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.  Global
acknowledges that Oceaneering would not purchase the ROV Business
Assets but for the agreements and covenants of Global contained
in this Section 6.4.  Accordingly, Global covenants and agrees as
follows:

        (a)     Covenant.  Global shall not, and will cause its
affiliates not to, at any time prior to October 1, 2005, (i)
use any assets owned, leased or operated by Global or any of
its Affiliates to perform ROV Services in the Geographic
Area or (ii) acquire or maintain more than a one-third
equity ownership or profits interest in any Person (other
than any special purpose entity formed for the purpose of
completing a single contract or a series of related
contracts with any customer of Global or that special
purpose entity) that generates (A) at the time of the
acquisition more than 12.5% of its revenues or (B) at any
time after such acquisition through October 1, 2005, more
than the greater of (1) 33% of its revenues for any calendar
year and (2) $5 million of revenues for any calendar year,
in the case of (A) or (B) from ROV Services in the
Georgraphic Area;  provided, however, that the foregoing
shall not prohibit Global or any of its Affiliates from
subcontracting for ROV Services in the Geographic Area in
connection with any work performed for its customers, and
provided, further, that the foregoing provision shall not
apply to any business acquired by Global or any of its
Affiliates after the date hereof that has conducted ROV
Services in the Geographic Area during the 12 months
preceding such acquisition so long as (i) the total revenues
of the subsequently acquired business (taken together with
any related business acquired in the same transaction or a
series of related transactions (collectively, the
"Subsequently Acquired Business")) for the then most
recently completed period of 12 consecutive calendar months
that are attributable to ROV Services in the Geographic Area
are less than 12.5% of the total revenues of the
Subsequently Acquired Business for that 12-month period and
(ii) the total consideration paid for the Subsequently
Acquired Business is equal to or exceeds $50 million.

	(b)	Solicitation of Business.  Until October 1, 2005,
Global shall not, and will cause its Affiliates not to,
solicit or assist any other Person to solicit to perform ROV
Services in the Geographic Area other than for Oceaneering
or its Affiliates (except to the extent of the exceptions
set forth in clause (a) above).

	(c)	Confidential Information.  From and after the date
of this Agreement, Global shall, and shall cause its
Affiliates to, keep secret and retain in strictest
confidence, and shall not, directly or indirectly, use in
the Geographic Area for the benefit of any Person other than
Global (including for this purpose, any Person who controls
Global), Oceaneering and their respective Affiliates and
customers all confidential matters and trade secrets known
relating to the ROV Business, including customer lists,
pricing policies, operational methods and marketing plans or
strategies, and shall not divulge, disclose or make
assessable to any Person outside of Global (including for
this purpose, any Person who controls Global), Oceaneering
and their respective Affiliates any such information except
upon Oceaneering's express prior written consent.

        (d)     Rights and Remedies upon Breach.  If Global
breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the
provisions of this Section 6.4, Oceaneering shall have the
following rights and remedies:

                (i)     the right and remedy to have the restrictive
covenants in this Section 6.4 specifically enforced by
any court having equity jurisdiction and Global
acknowledges and agrees that any such breach or
threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to
Oceaneering and that monetary damages will not provide
an adequate remedy to Oceaneering; and

                (ii)    the right and remedy to require Global to
indemnify Oceaneering against any losses, damages,
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
fees and court costs, which may be incurred by it and
which result from or arise out of or relate to any such
breach or threatened breach of the restrictive
covenants in this Section 6.4.

	(e)	Severability of Covenants.  If any court of
competent jurisdiction determines that any of the
restrictive covenants in this Section 6.4, or any part
thereof, is invalid or unenforceable with respect to Global,
the remainder of the restrictive covenants in this Section
6.4 shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full
effect, without regard to the invalid portions. If any court
of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the
restrictive covenants in this Section 6.4, or any part
thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration of such
provision or the area covered thereby, such court shall have
the power to reduce the duration or area of such provision
and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be
enforceable and shall be enforced.  Global hereby waives any
and all right to attack the validity of the restrictive
covenants in this Section 6.4 on the grounds of the breadth
of their geographic scope or the length of their term.

	(f)	Enforceability in Jurisdictions.  Each of
Oceaneering and Global intends to and does hereby consent to
and subject itself to the jurisdiction of the courts of any
jurisdiction within the Geographic Area to enforce the
restrictive covenants in this Section 6.4.  If the courts of
any one or more of such jurisdictions hold the restrictive
covenants in this Section 6.4 unenforceable by reason of the
breadth of such scope or otherwise, it is the intention of
Global and Oceaneering that such determination not bar or in
any way affect the right of Oceaneering to the relief
provided above in the courts of any other jurisdiction
within the geographical scope of such covenants, as to
breaches of such covenants in such other respective
jurisdictions, such covenants as they relate to each
jurisdiction being, for this purpose, severable into diverse
and independent covenants.

    6.5     Assignment of Contracts.  To the extent that the
assignment of any Diving Business Assumed Contract or ROV
Business Assumed Contract shall require the consent of any other
Person, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to
assign the same if the attempted assignment would constitute a
breach thereof.  Oceaneering and Global agree each to use
reasonable efforts in each case to obtain such consent to the
assignment as promptly as possible.  If any such required consent
is not obtained, the parties hereto will cooperate in any
reasonable arrangement designed to provide for the assigning
party the benefit of such Diving Business Assumed Contract or ROV
Business Assumed Contract which it is denied or deprived of as a
result of the failure to obtain such consent.  Such "reasonable
arrangement" may include subcontracting to perform obligations
under the applicable Diving Business Assumed Contract or ROV
Business Assumed Contract on terms substantially similar to the
Diving Business Assumed Contract or ROV Business Assumed
Contract.

    6.6     Taxes and Expenses.

	(a)	Each party shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes
incurred by it or its Affiliates arising out of or in
connection with the transactions effected pursuant to this
Agreement or any of the Supplemental Asset Acquisition
Agreements and all Transfer Taxes related to property or
assets transferred by it.

	(b)	Oceaneering shall pay or cause Oceaneering
Affiliates to pay all Taxes with respect to the Diving
Business and the Diving Business Assets that are payable or
become payable after the date hereof with respect to periods
ending on or prior to the Effective Time (irrespective of
when the relevant Tax period ends).  Global shall pay all
Taxes with respect to the ROV Business and ROV Business
Assets that are payable or become payable with respect to
periods ending on or prior to the Effective Time
(irrespective of when the relevant Tax period ends).
Subject to Section 6.8, the determination of the portion of
any Taxes payable with respect to periods on or prior to the
Effective Time shall be made, in the case of ad valorem,
property or similar Taxes, by allocating such Taxes on a per
diem basis, and, in the case of all other Taxes, by assuming
that the period on or prior to the Effective Time
constitutes a separate taxable period and by taking into
account the actual taxable events occurring during such
period.

	(c)	Except as may otherwise be specifically provided
herein, each party shall be responsible for its own
expenses, including without limitation the fees of
accountants and attorneys, which are incurred in connection
with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions herein contemplated.

    6.7     Access to Records After Closing.  Oceaneering and
Global agree that, so long as any of the books and records
retained by Oceaneering and any Oceaneering Affiliate relating to
the Diving Business Assets or retained by Global and any Global
Affiliate relating to the ROV Business Assets remain in
existence, the other party shall have the right to inspect and,
at its expense, to make copies of the same at any time during
business hours for any proper purpose upon written request
therefor stating with reasonable particularity the books or
records to which access is sought provided that such access does
not violate any confidentiality obligation of the party
possessing such books and records or result in the loss or waiver
of any privilege to refuse to disclose such information in any
Action, with any determination as to whether the provisions of
any such requested information would result in such a violation,
loss or waiver to be made on a reasonable basis by the party from
whom the information is requested.  For a period of five years
following the date of this Agreement, the parties hereto will
not, without first having offered to deliver the same to the
other party, destroy or permit the destruction of any of such
books and records.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties
shall not have any obligation to make available or provide copies
to each other of any consolidated, combined, unitary or similar
Tax return or report filed by such party or any of its
Affiliates, or any related material.

    6.8     Allocation of Revenues from Assumed Contracts.  The
parties shall allocate all amounts paid under each Diving
Business Assumed Contract and ROV Business Assumed Contract which
is not a "day rate" contract based upon the percentage-of-
completion of each such contract at the Effective Time.  With
respect to contracts referenced in the preceding sentence (a) if
invoices sent prior to the Effective Time, together with payments
received by the party assigning the contract exceed the total
payments to be made under the contract multiplied by the
percentage-of-completion (calculated in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles) at the Effective Time,
then such party shall within 30 days of the Effective Time pay to
the party assuming the contract an amount in U.S. dollars equal
to such excess, and (b) if invoices sent prior to the Effective
Time, together with payments received by the party assigning the
contract are less than the total payments to be made under the
contract multiplied by the percentage-of-completion (calculated
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles)
at the Effective Time, then the assuming party shall within 30
days of receipt of payment pay to the assuming party an amount in
U.S. dollars equal to such shortfall.  In the case of Diving
Business Assumed Contracts and ROV Business Assumed Contracts
that are "day rate" contracts, payments attributable to work
days prior to the Effective Time shall be paid over to or
retained by the assigning party and payments attributable to work
days after the Effective Time shall be paid over to or retained
by the assuming party.  The parties shall use their best efforts
to cause the income from such contracts to be allocated for Tax
purposes to periods on or prior to the Effective Time in a manner
consistent with this Section 6.8.

    6.9     Transition Assistance.

	(a)	To provide for a smooth transition of the Diving
Business Assets operations to Global, Oceaneering agrees (to
the extent it may do so without violating any applicable
lease, license or other agreement) to provide during the 30
days after the Effective Time general administration
services, including accounting, invoicing, information and
data processing systems (together with the personnel
necessary to provide such service) in connection with the
Diving Business to the extent requested by Global and
reasonably necessary to prevent disruptions in the provision
of services to customers and suppliers and the employment
and payment of employees and agents.  Global will promptly
reimburse Oceaneering for all out-of-pocket costs incurred
in connection with providing these services.

	(b)	To provide for a smooth transition of the ROV
Business Assets operations to Oceaneering, Global agrees (to
the extent it may do so without violating any applicable
lease, license or other agreement) to provide during the 30
days after the Effective Time general administration
services, including accounting, invoicing, information and
data processing systems (together with the personnel
necessary to provide such service) in connection with the
ROV Business to the extent requested by Oceaneering and
reasonably necessary to prevent disruptions in the provision
of services to customers and suppliers and the employment
and payment of employees and agents.  Oceaneering will
promptly reimburse Global for all out-of-pocket costs
incurred in connection with providing these services.

	(a)	From and after the Closing, the parties hereto
will, and (where applicable) will cause their respective
Affiliates to, (i) negotiate and document mutually
acceptable (A) lease assignments with respect to the Diving

obtain all consents of the lessors (where applicable) of
those respective facilities as are necessary to give full
force and effect to each such lease assignment, lease,
sublease or other facility sharing arrangement.

	(b)	With respect to each Diving Business Transferred
Facility, until such time as a lease assignment (as
contemplated by Section 6.10(a)) pertaining to that facility
becomes effective, Global will (i) reimburse Oceaneering and
its Affiliates for any costs or expenses they incur with
respect to that facility (A) pursuant to pre-existing lease
obligations (including, without limitation, rent), (B) for
operating costs of the facility, or (C) at the request of
Global, in each case within 30 days after receipt of an
invoice therefor accompanied by reasonable evidence of the
amount and payment of such sum, and (ii) indemnify and hold
harmless Oceaneering and its Affiliates from and against any
and all Losses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including,
without limitation, Losses which may be incurred by
Oceaneering or any of its Affiliates, agents, employees or
invitees) arising out of, resulting from or otherwise
relating to any use or possession of any of the Diving
Business Transferred Facilities after the Effective Time.

	(c)	With respect to the Diving Business Shared
Facilities and the ROV Business Shared Facility, the general
terms that will be applicable to the respective leases,
subleases or other facility sharing arrangements are as set
forth on Exhibit 6.10(c)(i) hereto and certain of the
specific terms that will be applicable to those leases,
subleases or facility sharing arrangements are as set forth
in Exhibit 6.10(c)(ii).

	(d)	With respect to each of the Diving Business Shared
Facilities and the ROV Business Shared Facility, to the

and (ii) hereto) immediately following the Effective Time
and, until such time as a lease, sublease or other
appropriate facility sharing arrangement (as contemplated by
Section 6.10(a)) pertaining to that facility becomes
effective, the parties hereto will, or (where applicable)
will cause their respective Affiliates to, comply, to the
greatest extent possible, with the terms set forth in
Exhibit 6.10(c)(i) hereto and the applicable terms set forth
in Exhibit 6.10(c)(ii) hereto (including, without limitation
the payment of rent, provision of the indemnification and
termination rights set forth therein).

	(e)	From and after the Closing, the parties hereto
will, and (where applicable) will cause their respective
Affiliates to, negotiate and document a mutually acceptable
ROV Services Agreement providing for the provision of ROV
Services to Global and its Affiliates in the Geographic Area
on the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit 6.10(e).

    6.11    Preferred Provider.     Until October 1, 2005 Oceaneering
agrees that Global and its Affiliates shall be the preferred
provider of commercial diving services to Oceaneering and its
Affiliates in the Geographic Area and in accordance with this
status, Oceaneering will use reasonable efforts to ensure that
Global or its Affiliates will be given an opportunity to provide
commercial diving services to, or in connection with, any project
controlled by or awarded to, Oceaneering or its Affiliates in the
Geographic Area.  In those circumstances where Oceaneering or its
Affiliates are in a position to influence the selection of the
provider of commercial diving services to be used on a specific
project in the Geographic Area, and where Global is willing and
able to supply commercial diving services for such project,
Oceaneering agrees to, and to cause its Affiliates to, recommend
the use of Global's commercial diving services for such project.
Further, Global and Oceaneering agree to cooperate in the
Geographic Area to pursue joint opportunities for their
respective businesses.

    6.12    Further Assurances.

consideration, Oceaneering shall, and shall cause each of
the Oceaneering Affiliates to, perform all acts and execute,
acknowledge and deliver such additional assignments,
transfers, consents and other documents and instruments as
Global may reasonably request, in each case, to vest in
Global or its Affiliates and to protect Global or its
Affiliates' right, title and interest in, and enjoyment of,
the Diving Business Assets free of any Liens.

	(b)	After the Closing, and for no further
consideration, Global shall, and shall cause each of the
Global Affiliates to, perform all acts and execute,
acknowledge and deliver such additional assignments,
transfers, consents and other documents and instruments as
Oceaneering may reasonably request, in each case, to vest in
Oceaneering or its Affiliates and to protect Oceaneering or
its Affiliates' right, title and interest in, and enjoyment
of, the ROV Business Assets free of any Liens.


                          ARTICLE VII
          SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS; INDEMNIFICATION

    7.1     Survival of Representations.  The representations and
warranties of the parties or of their Affiliates set forth in
this Agreement or in any other Oceaneering Document or Global
Document shall survive the Closing, notwithstanding any
investigations or on behalf of any of the parties hereto or any
of their respective Affiliates; provided that (i) the
representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.9 and 5.9
shall survive until the third anniversary of the date of this
Agreement and shall then expire, (ii) the representations and
warranties set forth in Sections 4.3 and 5.3 shall survive until

in Sections 4.2, 4.4(a), 5.2 and 5.4(a) shall survive
indefinitely and (iv) all other representations and warranties of
the parties or their Affiliates in this Agreement or in any other
Oceaneering Document or Global Document shall survive until the

pursuant to this Section 7.1, unless written notice of a claim
based on such representation and warranty shall have been
delivered to the Indemnitee prior to such expiration, no claim
may be brought based on the breach of such representation and
warranty.

Oceaneering shall indemnify and hold Global and its
directors, officers, employees and Affiliates ("Global
Indemnitees") harmless from and against any Losses of any

Oceaneering Affiliates to deliver to and vest in Global

                (iv)    any obligation or liability of Oceaneering or

                (v)     the ownership, management, operation or use

    7.3     Notice and Participation.

	(a)	If a claim, demand or Action is asserted by a
third Person against any Person indemnified pursuant to this
Article VII (each an "Indemnitee"), and if such Indemnitee
intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under this
Article VII (which claim, demand or Action is herein called
a "Third Party Claim"), the Indemnitee shall promptly, and
in any event within 15 days of the assertion of such Third
Party Claim, deliver notice (a "Claim Notice") to each
Person from whom indemnification is sought (the
"Indemnitor") for such Third Party Claim which notice
shall (i) state with reasonable particularity the nature of
the Third Party Claim, (ii) set forth an estimate of the
amount of damages or other Losses attributable to the Third
Party Claim to the extent feasible (which estimate shall not
be conclusive of the final amount of that claim) and the
basis for the Indemnitee's request for indemnification under
this Agreement and (iii) attach a copy of all papers served
with respect to that Third Party Claim (if any).  Except as
set forth in the last sentence of Section 7.1, the failure
to promptly deliver a Claim Notice to the Indemnitor shall
not relieve the Indemnitor of any obligation which the
Indemnitor might have to the Indemnitee with respect to the
related Third Party Claim except to the extent (and only to
the extent) such failure prejudices the Indemnitor's defense
of the Third Party Claim.  In the event of any Third Party
Claim, Indemnitor, at its option, may assume (with legal
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee) at its sole
cost and expense the defense of any Third Party Claim by
written notice to the Indemnitee within 30 days after
receipt of any Claim Notice if (i) it acknowledges to the
Indemnitee in writing its obligations to indemnify the
Indemnitee with respect to all elements of such Third Party
Claim, and (ii) the Third Party Claim involves only money
damages and does not seek injunctive or equitable relief;
provided that Indemnitee shall have the right at its own
expense to participate jointly with, but not control,
Indemnitor in the defense of any such Third Party Claim.  If
Indemnitor elects to undertake the defense of any Third
Party Claim hereunder, Indemnitee shall cooperate with
Indemnitor in the defense or settlement of the Third Party
Claim.  The Indemnitor shall not without the prior written
consent of the Indemnitee (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) be entitled to settle any
Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment
which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the
giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnitee of
an unconditional release from all liability in respect of
such Third Party Claim.

	(b)	If the Indemnitor, by the thirtieth day after
receipt of any Claim Notice in regards to a Third Party
Claim (or, if earlier, by the tenth day preceding the day on
which an answer or other pleading must be served in order to
prevent judgment by default in favor of the person asserting
the Third Party Claim) does not acknowledge its obligation
to indemnify Indemnitee, fails to notify the Indemnitee that
the Indemnitor elects to defend the Indemnitee or elects to
defend the Indemnitee but fails to prosecute actively and in
good faith the defense of such Third Party Claim, the
Indemnitee may defend against and control the proceedings
regarding such claim, and the Indemnitor shall be entitled
to participate in (but not control) the defense of such
action, with its counsel and at its own expense.  The
Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise any Third Party
Claim for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder,
without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnitor has
delivered a written notice to the Indemnitee to the effect
that the Indemnitor disputes its potential liability to the
Indemnitee under this Article VII and if that dispute is
resolved in favor of the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor shall
not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the
Indemnitee's defense pursuant to this Section 7.3 or of the
Indemnitor's participation therein at the Indemnitee's
request, and the Indemnitee shall reimburse the Indemnitor
in full for all reasonable costs and expenses of such
litigation.

	(c)	If any Indemnitee believes there exists any claim
(other than a claim that involves a Third Party Claim) with
respect to which any Indemnitor is obligated to provide
indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(b), or
pursuant to any other specific indemnification covenant
contained in this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall give the
Indemnitor written notice thereof (an "Indemnity Notice")
which notice shall state with reasonable particularity the
circumstances giving rise to such Claim and shall specify,
if known, the amount of the Losses for which indemnification
is sought.  Any such claim shall be conclusive against the
Indemnitor in all respects 60 days after receipt by the
Indemnitor of the Indemnity Notice with respect thereto in
accordance with this Section 7.3(c), unless within such
period the Indemnitor sends the Indemnitee a notice
disputing the propriety of the claim.  Such notice of
dispute shall describe the basis for such objection and the
amount of the claim as to which the Indemnifying Party does
not believe should be subject to indemnification.  If the
Indemnitor disputes that claim, that dispute shall be
resolved by proceedings in an appropriate court of competent
jurisdiction if the parties do not reach a settlement of
that dispute within 60 days after written notice of that
dispute is given by the Indemnitor.

    7.4 Indemnification of Negligence of Indemnitee.  The
indemnification provided in this Article VII shall be
applicable whether or not the Losses are contributed to
by the negligence or fault of the Indemnitee.

    7.5     Indemnification Threshold and Limitations; Exclusive
Remedy.  Except in cases of fraud, knowing or willing
misrepresentation or gross negligence, (a) neither the Global
Indemnitees on the one hand, nor the Oceaneering's Indemnitees on
the other hand shall be entitled to make any claim for
indemnification under Section 7.2(a)(i) or 7.2(b)(i),
respectively, unless and until the aggregate of all Losses
suffered by them and for which indemnification under such
provision is sought exceeds $50,000, and in such event such
Person shall be entitled to indemnification only for the amount
of Losses in excess of the $50,000 threshold, (b) Oceaneering
shall not have any obligation under Sections 7.2(a)(i) and (ii)
in respect of Losses in excess of $5,000,000, and in no event
shall Oceaneering be responsible or liable to Global hereunder in
respect of any Losses that are, in the nature of cost of money,
loss of use of capital or revenue or damage to reputation or any
special, punitive or consequential damages, (c) Global shall not
have any obligation under Sections 7.2(b)(i) and (ii) in respect
of Losses in excess of $5,000,000, and in no event shall Global
be responsible or liable to Oceaneering hereunder in respect of
any Losses that are, in the nature of cost of money, loss of use
of capital or revenue or damage to reputation or any special,
punitive or consequential damages.  Except as provided in
Sections 6.3(d) and 6.4(d), the remedies provided in this
Article VII shall be the exclusive remedy for damages (whether at
law or in equity) and other Losses with respect to claims
resulting from or relating to any misrepresentation, breach of
warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement
contained in this Agreement or otherwise relating to the
transactions that are the subject of this Agreement.

    7.6     Payment.  Payments of all amounts owing by an
Indemnitor pursuant to this Article VII relating to a Third Party
Claim shall be made within five Business Days after (i) the
settlement of that Third Party Claim, (ii) the expiration of the
period for appeal of a final adjudication of that Third Party
Claim or (iii) if Indemnitor has not previously acknowledged in
writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee, the
expiration of the period for appeal of a final adjudication of
the Indemnitor's liability to the Indemnitee under this Agreement
in respect of that Third Party Claim.  Payments of all other
amounts owing by an Indemnitor hereunder shall be made at such
time as the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall mutually agree,
but in any event within five Business Days after the expiration
of the period for appeal of a final adjudication of the
Indemnitor's liability to the Indemnitee under this Agreement in
cash in U.S. Dollars, together with interest from the date that
the Indemnitee initially requested such payment until the date of
actual payment, at an annual rate equal to the prime interest
rate then generally in effect on the date of payment as set forth
in The Wall Street Journal.

                            ARTICLE VIII
