ARTICLE VII
STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS

Section 7.1    SEACOR Stock Incentive Plans.  The Parties shall take all actions necessary or appropriate so that each outstanding SEACOR Option and SEACOR Restricted Share granted under any SEACOR Stock Incentive Plan held by an individual shall be adjusted as set forth in this Article VII, as applicable.  The adjustments set forth below shall be the sole adjustments with respect to SEACOR Options and SEACOR Restricted Shares in connection with the Distribution and the other transactions contemplated by the Distribution Agreement, and such adjustments will be consistent with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the applicable stock exchange listing standards.  The Distribution shall not constitute a “change in control” or “change of control” under any award agreement, employment agreement or SEACOR Stock Incentive Plan.

Section 7.2    SEACOR Marine Stock Incentive Plan.  Prior to the Distribution, SEACOR Marine shall adopt an equity incentive plan (the “SEACOR Marine Stock Incentive Plan”) with a share reserve of up to 10% of SEACOR Marine’s fully diluted common shares outstanding (taking into account any applicable note conversion).  Following the adoption of the SEACOR Marine Stock Incentive Plan, and prior to the Distribution, SEACOR or its applicable Subsidiary shall approve, in its capacity as the sole shareholder of SEACOR Marine, the SEACOR Marine Stock Incentive Plan.  The terms and conditions of any awards made prior to or in connection with the Distribution under the SEACOR Marine Stock Incentive Plan (including, without limitation, the form award agreements and the allocation of awards) shall be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of SEACOR.

Section 7.3    SEACOR Options.  Except as set forth on Schedule 7.3, as of the Effective Time, outstanding SEACOR Options will be adjusted as described below:
Upon the Distribution, the number of shares of SEACOR Common Stock subject to each SEACOR Option will be adjusted to equal the product of (A) the number of shares of SEACOR Common Stock subject to such SEACOR Option immediately prior to the Distribution, multiplied by (B) the “Adjustment Ratio” and rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares (the “Post-Adjustment Shares”).  The numerator of the Adjustment Ratio is the last published “regular way” closing trading price of a share of SEACOR Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) prior to the Distribution, and the denominator of the Adjustment Ratio is the last published “ex-dividend” closing trading price of a share of SEACOR Common Stock on the NYSE prior to the Distribution.  For purposes of the Adjustment Ratio, (i) “regular way” trading price means the price of SEACOR Common Stock traded with the entitlement to the SEACOR Marine Common Stock to be issued in the Distribution and (ii) "ex-dividend" trading price means the price of SEACOR Common Stock traded without the entitlement to the SEACOR Marine Common Stock to be issued in the Distribution.
Upon the Distribution, the exercise price of each such SEACOR Option will be adjusted to equal (A) minus (B), where (A) is the last published “ex-dividend” closing trading price of a share of SEACOR Common Stock on the NYSE prior to the Distribution and (B) is the product of (1) the last “regular way” closing trading price of SEACOR Common Stock prior to the Distribution minus the exercise price of each SEACOR Option, multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of SEACOR Options to purchase SEACOR Common Stock outstanding prior to the Distribution, and the denominator of which is the number of Post-Adjustment Shares, and rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
For holders of SEACOR Options who are not SEACOR Marine Employees, all other terms and conditions of such SEACOR Options will remain the same, including, without limitation, continued vesting pursuant to the current terms of the options.  For holders of SEACOR Options who are SEACOR Marine Employees, the vesting of such SEACOR Options (as adjusted) will be accelerated upon the Distribution. SEACOR Options held by SEACOR Marine Employees shall remain exercisable for a period of 90 days following the date of the Distribution (the “Post-Distribution Exercise Period”).  Any SEACOR Options held by SEACOR Marine Employees that have not been exercised by the end of the Post-Distribution Exercise Period shall immediately terminate at the end of such period and shall immediately be canceled for no consideration in respect thereof.

Section 7.4    SEACOR Restricted Shares.  Except as set forth on Schedule 7.4, upon the Distribution:
(a) Individuals Other than SEACOR Marine Employees.  Holders of SEACOR Restricted Shares (other than individuals who are SEACOR Marine Employees) will each receive, for every one share of SEACOR Common Stock that such individual holds immediately prior to the Distribution, a dividend of one fully vested share of SEACOR Marine Common Stock multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is 17,671,356 and the denominator of which is the number of shares of SEACOR Common 


5





Stock outstanding on the Distribution Date.  The other terms and conditions of such individual’s SEACOR Restricted Shares will remain the same for such SEACOR Restricted Shares including, without limitation, continued vesting pursuant to the current terms of the awards.  In lieu of fractional shares, each holder that would otherwise receive a fractional share shall be paid an amount in cash (without interest) in accordance with Section 2.1(b) of the Distribution Agreement.
(b) SEACOR Marine Employees.  Each SEACOR Marine Employee who is a holder of SEACOR Restricted Shares immediately prior to the Distribution will receive, for every one share of SEACOR Common Stock that such individual holds immediately prior to the Distribution, a dividend of one share of SEACOR Marine Common Stock (subject to the immediately following sentence), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is 17,671,356 and the denominator of which is the number of shares of SEACOR Common Stock outstanding on the Distribution Date (each such share, a “SEACOR Marine Restricted Dividend”).  Each SEACOR Marine Restricted Dividend will continue to be subject to the same terms applicable to the SEACOR Restricted Share to which such SEACOR Marine Restricted Dividend relates, including, without limitation, continued vesting pursuant to the current terms of the awards (prior to the vesting acceleration set forth in the sentence that immediately follows), except that, for purposes of effectuating this Section 7.4(b), a SEACOR Marine Employee’s service with SEACOR Marine or any of its subsidiaries shall be deemed to be service with SEACOR.
Immediately prior to the Distribution, the restrictions applicable to each SEACOR Restricted Share (excluding the SEACOR Marine Restricted Dividends) held by a SEACOR Marine Employee shall lapse.

Section 7.5    SEACOR Common Stock Under SEACOR’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
		
	(a)
	Under SEACOR’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan, eligible participants may elect to purchase shares of SEACOR Common Stock at a purchase price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of SEACOR Common Stock on the opening or closing date of the applicable offering period.  Following the Distribution, SEACOR’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan will relate only to SEACOR Common Stock (without regard to the dividend of SEACOR Marine Common Stock) and the opening purchase price for each share of SEACOR Common Stock will be adjusted to reflect the change in value in SEACOR Common Stock following the Distribution, determined as follows.


		
	(b)
	For purposes of any SEACOR Employee Stock Purchase Plan offering period in effect as of the Effective Time, the opening purchase price of each such share of SEACOR Common Stock shall equal (A) the original opening purchase price of a share of SEACOR Common Stock on the first day of the offering period, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the last published “ex-dividend” closing trading price of a share of SEACOR Common Stock on the NYSE prior to the Distribution, and the denominator of which is the last published “regular way” closing trading price of a share of SEACOR Common Stock on the NYSE prior to the Distribution, and rounded up to the nearest whole cent.


		
	(c)
	As of the Effective Time, SEACOR Marine Employees and any other employees of SEACOR Marine or its Subsidiaries will cease participation in SEACOR’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan and will be repaid any contributions to SEACOR’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan that have not been used to purchase shares of SEACOR Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.



Section 7.6    Registration Requirements.  SEACOR Marine agrees that it shall file, and shall use reasonable efforts to maintain on a continuous basis, one or more effective registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any applicable rules or regulations thereunder, with respect to the shares of SEACOR Marine Common Stock authorized for issuance under the SEACOR Marine Stock Incentive Plan.  SEACOR agrees that it shall use reasonable efforts to continue to maintain one or more effective registration statements under the Securities Act and any applicable rules or regulations thereunder, with respect to the shares of SEACOR Common Stock authorized for issuance under the SEACOR Stock Incentive Plans.

SCHEDULE 7.3
SEACOR Option Exceptions
SEACOR Options held by Messrs. Evan Behrens, Andrew R. Morse and R. Christopher Regan will be afforded the treatment described for SEACOR Marine Employees under the Employee Matters Agreement, except that (a) the Post-Distribution Exercise Period will not apply to their respective SEACOR Options and (b) each of their respective SEACOR Options will instead remain exercisable for the full original ten-year term applicable to such SEACOR Options.

SCHEDULE 7.4
SEACOR Restricted Share Exceptions
SEACOR Restricted Shares held by Mr. Evan Behrens will be afforded the treatment described for SEACOR Marine Employees under the Employee Matters Agreement.
