 INDENTURE, dated as of February 10, 2016 among Offshore Group Investment Limited, a Cayman
Islands exempted company (the “Company”), the Guarantors (as defined herein) and U.S. Bank National Association, not in its individual capacity but solely as trustee (together with its successors and assigns, in such capacity, the
“Trustee”) and not in its individual capacity but solely as collateral agent (together with its successors and assigns, in such capacity, the “Noteholder Collateral Agent”). 

The Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Noteholder Collateral Agent agree as follows for the benefit of each other and for the equal
and ratable benefit of the Holders (as defined herein) of the 10% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”): 

ARTICLE 1 
 DEFINITIONS AND
INCORPORATION 
 BY REFERENCE 

Section 1.01 Definitions. 

“Acceptable Security Interest” in any Property means a Lien which (a) exists in favor of the Noteholder Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties; (b) has the Required Priority other than Permitted Liens having priority under Legal Requirements; (c) secures the Note Obligations; (d) is perfected; and (e) is enforceable
against the Note Party that created such security interest in each case, subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreements in effect. 

“Account Control Agreement” means, with respect to any deposit account of any Note Party that is held with a bank that is not
the Noteholder Collateral Agent, an agreement or agreements in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Noteholder Collateral Agent governing any such deposit accounts of such Note Party pursuant to which the security interest of the
Noteholder Collateral Agent in such deposit account shall be perfected. 
 “Acquired Debt” means, with respect to any
specified Person: 
 (1) Indebtedness of any other Person existing at the time such other Person is merged with or into or
became a Subsidiary of such specified Person (regardless of the form of the applicable transaction by which such Person became a Subsidiary) or expressly assumed in connection with the acquisition of assets from any such Person, whether or not such
Indebtedness is incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such other Person merging with or into, or becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of, such specified Person or of such Indebtedness being incurred in connection with the acquisition of
assets; and 
 (2) Indebtedness secured by a Lien encumbering any asset acquired by such specified Person. 

Acquired Debt will be deemed to be incurred on the date the acquired Person becomes a Subsidiary or the later of the date such Indebtedness is incurred or the
date of the related acquisition of assets from such Person. 
 “Additional Notes” means Notes (other than the
Initial Notes) issued after the Issue Date in accordance with this Indenture in accordance with Section 2.01 (“Form and Dating”), Section 2.02 (“Execution and Authentication”) and Section 4.08 (“Incurrence of
Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock”) hereof, as part of the same class as the Initial Notes. 

“Additional Vessel” means a drilling rig or drillship or other vessel that is used or useful in the Permitted
Business; provided that upon the consummation of a Vessel Asset Sale where all of the interests in any such Additional Vessel are sold, leased, conveyed or otherwise disposed of in a transaction that complies with the terms of this Indenture,
including Section 4.07 (“Restricted Payments”), Section 4.18 (“Asset Sales”) and Section 5.01 (“Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets”), such Additional Vessel shall not thereafter constitute an
Additional Vessel hereunder. 
 “Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For purposes of this definition, “control,” as used with respect to any Person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of
the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by agreement or otherwise; provided that beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the Voting Stock of a
Person will be deemed to be control. For purposes of this definition, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with” have correlative meanings. 






 “Affiliate Transactions” has the meaning set forth in Section 4.11
(“Transactions with Affiliates”). 
 “Applicable Procedures” means, with respect to any transfer or exchange of
or for beneficial interests in any Global Note, the rules and procedures of the Depositary, Euroclear and Clearstream that apply to such transfer or exchange. 

“Asset Sale” means: 

(1) the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of any assets or rights (except under an Internal Charter or Drilling
Contract); provided that the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be governed by Section 4.17 (“Offer to
Repurchase Upon Change of Control”) and/or Section 5.01 (“Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets”) hereof, and not by Section 4.18 (“Asset Sales”) hereof; 

(2) the issuance of Equity Interests in any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or the sale of Equity Interests in any of the
Company’s Subsidiaries other than statutory or directors qualifying shares; and 
 (3) an Involuntary Transfer. 

Notwithstanding the preceding, none of the following items will be deemed to be an Asset Sale: 

(1) any single transaction or series of related transactions that involves assets having a Fair Market Value or that results in
generating Net Proceeds, in either case, of less than $10.0 million; 
 (2) a transfer of Equity Interests or other assets
between or among the Company and any of the Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (3) an issuance of Equity Interests by a Restricted
Subsidiary to the Company or to another Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (4) the sale or lease or other disposition of products,
services or accounts receivable in the ordinary course of business and any sale or conveyance or other disposition of damaged, worn-out or obsolete assets in the ordinary course of business; 

(5) the sale or other disposition of cash or Cash Equivalents; 

(6) a Restricted Payment that does not violate Section 4.07 (“Restricted Payments”) hereof or a Permitted
Investment; and 
 (7) any transfer of property in connection with a sale and leaseback transaction other than a sale and
leaseback of a Vessel. 
 “Authorized Representative” means (i) in the case of the Secured Convertible Note
Obligations, the Secured Convertible Trustee and (ii) in the case of the Credit Agreement Obligations, the Credit Agreement Agent. 

“Bankruptcy Code” means Title 11, United States Code, as may be amended from time to time. 

“Bankruptcy Law” means the Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors. 

“Beneficial Owner” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except
that in calculating the beneficial ownership of any particular “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), such “person” will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such
“person” has the right to acquire by conversion or exercise of other securities, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only after the passage of time. The terms “Beneficially Owns” and “Beneficially
Owned” have a corresponding meaning.

hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples
of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 The Company may issue Additional Notes from time to time after the Issue Date, provided such issuance

(b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note
Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interest in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in certificated form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and

redemptions and transfer of Notes. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the
direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 (“Transfer and Exchange”) hereof.

System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream will be applicable to transfers of beneficial

 Section 2.02 Execution and
Authentication. 
 At least two Officers must sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be
valid. 
 A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence
that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed
by two separate Officers (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for
issuance by the Company pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 (“Replacement Notes”) hereof. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate
Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as the Trustee to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the
Company. 
 Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Company will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
(“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or
more co-registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional Paying Agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar
without notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee
shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

The Company will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit
of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default
continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other
than the Company or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying
Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 
 Section 2.05
Holder Lists. 
 The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of
the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other
times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the
Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by
the Company for Certificated Notes if: 
 (1) the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is
unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the date of such notice

Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (1), (2) or (3) above, Certificated Notes shall be issued in such names as the
Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 (“Replacement Notes”) and 2.10 (“Temporary Notes”) hereof. Every Note authenticated and
delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section or Section 2.07 (“Replacement Notes”) or 2.10 (“Temporary Notes”) hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the

been exchanged for Certificated Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with
Section 2.11 (“Cancellation”) hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest
in another Global Note or for Certificated Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Custodian at the direction of
the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be
increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

 29 







 (2) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a
Global Note or to a Holder of a Certificated Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other
than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10 (“Temporary Notes”), 3.06 (“Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part”), 3.10 (“Offer to Purchase by
Application of Excess Proceeds”), 4.17 (“Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control”), 4.18 (“Asset Sales”), and 9.05 (“Notation on or Exchange of Notes”) hereof). 

(3) The Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or
in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 
 (4) All Global Notes and Certificated Notes
issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Certificated Notes will be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or
Certificated Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 (5) None of the Trustee, the Registrar nor
the Company will be required: 
 (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning
at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 (“Selection of Notes to be Redeemed or Purchased”) hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection; 

(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed
portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or 
 (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a Record Date
and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 
 (6) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any
Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other
purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (7) The Trustee
will authenticate Global Notes and Certificated Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 (“Execution and Authentication”) hereof. 

(8) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section
to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile. 
 (9) Neither the Trustee nor any agent of
the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. 
 (10) The Trustee shall
have no responsibility or obligation to any Participant or Indirect Participant or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the books or records, or the acts or omissions, of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member
thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any Participant or Indirect Participant or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice or the payment of any amount under or with respect to
such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in
the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its Participants or Indirect Participants. 
 (11) The Trustee shall
have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers
between or among Participants or Indirect Participants in any 

  
 30 







 
Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of
this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
 Section 2.07
Replacement Notes. 
 If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee
or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the (i) the Trustee to protect the Trustee and (ii) the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating
agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note. 
 Every
replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 

Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes. 
 The
Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture, and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 (“Treasury Notes”) hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(c) (“Optional Redemption”) hereof. 

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 (“Replacement Notes”) hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee
receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. 
 If the principal amount of any Note is
considered paid under Section 4.01 (“Payment of Notes”) hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money
sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest. 

Section 2.09 Treasury Notes. 
 In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under
direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent,
only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, no Person shall be deemed or presumed to have any such controlling interest, or to be under
common control of any other Person with the Company or any Guarantor, solely as a result of (i) such Person and/or such other Person being or becoming a party to the Shareholders Agreement (including exercising its rights thereunder) or
(ii) such Person and/or such other Person being a Beneficial Owner of more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock, unless, in the case of the preceding clause (ii), such Person and/or such other Person (as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) has the power, directly or indirectly, to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Company, whether through the ownership of the Voting Stock of the Company, by contract
(excluding for such purposes the Shareholders Agreement), or otherwise (excluding for all such purposes any shares of the Company’s Voting Stock held by any other party subject to the Shareholders Agreement attributable to such Person or such
other Person as a result of the Shareholders Agreement). Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall promptly furnish to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held
by or for the account of any of the Company or any Guarantor, and the Trustee shall be entitled to accept and rely upon such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed
therein are outstanding for the purpose of any determination. 

  
 31 







 Section 2.10 Temporary Notes. 

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order,
will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without
unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 
 Holders
of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. 
 Section 2.11 Cancellation. 

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes
surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee (and no one else) will cancel promptly all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy canceled
Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act and the Trustee). Certification of the destruction or cancellation of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Company upon written request. The Company may not issue new
Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.12 Default Interest. 

The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal,
premium, if any, and interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) from time to time on demand at the rate equal to 1% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful to the Persons who are
Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided as set forth in the Notes and consistent with Section 4.01 (“Payment of Notes”) hereof (“Default Interest”). The Company will notify the
Trustee in writing of the amount of Default Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and interest payment date; provided that no
such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related interest payment date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of
the Company) will mail or cause to be sent to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related interest payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 

Section 2.13 Persons Deemed Owners. 

The Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. Only Holders have rights under this Indenture and the Notes. 

Section 2.14 Interest Payment Date; Record Date. 

Interest on outstanding Notes will accrue at the rate of 10% per year and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30
and December 31 of each year, commencing on June 30, 2016 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). The Company will make each interest payment to the Holders of record on the immediately preceding June 15 and
December 15 (each, a “Record Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of
a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 
 Section 2.15 Restricted Security. 

Each Restricted Security shall bear the restrictive legend set forth in Section 2.06(f)(2) (“Transfer and Exchange”) (the
“Restricted Security Legend”). Notes representing Restricted Securities may only be transferred in compliance with the restrictions set forth in the Restricted Security Legend.

 ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION AND PURCHASE 
 Section 3.01
Notices to Trustee. 
 If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07
(“Optional Redemption”), it must furnish to the Trustee, at least 35 days (unless the Trustee permits a shorter period) but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth: 

(1) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur; 

(2) the Redemption Date; 

(3) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; and 

(4) the redemption price. 

Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased. 

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis, by lot
to the extent practicable or by such other method in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary. 
 In the event of partial
redemption or purchase, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 35 (unless the Trustee permits a shorter period) nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date or
Purchase Date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase. 
 The Trustee will promptly
notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected
will be in minimum amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall
be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. 

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.10 (“Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds”) hereof, at least 30 days but
not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall send (or transmit otherwise in accordance with the procedure of DTC), a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that
redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article 8 or Article 10 hereof.

 The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state: 

(1) the Redemption Date; 

(2) the redemption price; 

(3) if the Notes are being redeemed in part: 

(A) that the Trustee shall select Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis, by lot to the extent practicable or by such
other method in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, and in any case, not in parts of less than $1,000; and 

  
 33 







 (B) the portion of the principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed and that,
after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such Notes, a Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note (and in the case of global notes, in accordance with the Applicable
Procedures of DTC); 
 (4) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

(5) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; 

(6) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to
accrue on and after the Redemption Date; 
 (7) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which
the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; 
 (8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy
of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and 
 (9) if any such redemption or notice is
subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, that in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice
may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed. 

At the Company’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense;
provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date (or a shorter period as agreed to by the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and
attaching the form of notice as an exhibit thereto. 
 Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance with Section 3.03 (“Notice of Redemption”) hereof, Notes called for redemption
become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may, at the Company’s option and discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of
an Equity Offering or Change of Control, as the case may be. 
 Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. 

No later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the Redemption Date or Purchase Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying
Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or
the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. 

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the Redemption Date or Purchase Date, interest will cease
to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid
to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Record Date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Company to comply
with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Redemption Date or Purchase Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful, on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the
rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 (“Payment of Notes”) hereof. 

  
 34 







 Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the
Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. 

Section 3.07 Optional Redemption. 

(a) At any time prior to the maturity date of the Notes, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at one time or
from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, the applicable Redemption Date, subject to
the rights of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date in respect of then outstanding Notes. 

Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for
redemption on the applicable Redemption Date. 
 (b) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the
provisions of Sections 3.01 (“Notices to Trustee”) through 3.06 (“Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part”) hereof. 

Section 3.08 [Reserved]. 
 Section 3.09
Mandatory Redemption Upon Event of Loss of a Vessel. 
 Subject to the terms of, and the relative priorities and related rights set
forth in, the Intercreditor Agreements: 
 (a) Upon the occurrence or happening of any Event of Loss, the Company shall be required to
redeem Notes and other Pari Passu Obligations containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to a redemption upon an Event of Loss in an amount equal to the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu
Obligations that may be purchased out of the Event of Loss Proceeds received in respect of such loss (rounded to the nearest $1,000) upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Holders, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes redeemed to the applicable Redemption Date. Such notice shall contain the information required by Section 3.01 (“Notices to Trustee”) hereof. 

(b) The Company shall deliver the redemption notice to the Holders within 30 days of the receipt of any Event of Loss Proceeds. If the
aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Obligations exceeds the amount of Event of Loss Proceeds, the Noteholder Collateral Agent shall select Notes and such other Pari Passu Obligations to be redeemed on a pro rata basis (or
as near to a pro rata basis as permitted by the Applicable Procedures). All Event of Loss Proceeds received in respect of an Event of Loss shall be required to be deposited in a deposit account controlled by the Noteholder Collateral Agent and held
as Collateral subject to a Lien under the Collateral Agreements pending their application to redemption of Notes and such other Pari Passu Obligations and, from such deposit account, the Noteholder Collateral Agent may withdraw funds to deploy the
Event of Loss Proceeds in compliance with the foregoing. Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 (“Notices to
Trustee”) through 3.06 (“Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part”) hereof. 
 Section 3.10 Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess
Proceeds. 
 Subject to the terms of, and the relative priorities and related rights set forth in, the Intercreditor Agreements, in the
event that, pursuant to Section 4.18 (“Asset Sales”) hereof, the Company shall be required to commence an Asset Sale Offer (the “Offer to Purchase”), it will follow the procedures specified below and in Sections
4.18(c), (d), (e) and (f) (“Asset Sales”): 
 (a) The Offer to Purchase shall be made to all Holders and all holders of
Pari Passu Obligations containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets. 

  
 35 







 (b) The Offer to Purchase will remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days
following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). 

(c) No later than three Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company
will apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and such other Pari Passu Obligations (on a pro rata basis, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and such
other Pari Passu Obligations tendered in response to the Offer to Purchase. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. 

(d) If the Purchase Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest will
be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Offer to Purchase. 

(e) Upon the commencement of an Offer to Purchase, the Company will send a written notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders. The notice
will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Offer to Purchase. Subject to the last paragraph of this Section 3.10, the notice, which will govern the terms of the Offer to
Purchase, will state: 
 (1) that such Offer to Purchase is being made pursuant to this Section 3.10 and
Section 4.18 (“Asset Sales”) hereof and the length of time such Offer to Purchase will remain open; 
 (2) the
Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date; 
 (3) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will
continue to accrue interest; 
 (4) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment
pursuant to such Offer to Purchase will cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date; 
 (5) that Holders electing to
have a Note purchased pursuant to such Offer to Purchase may elect to have Notes purchased in amounts not less than $1,000 and, thereafter, in integral multiples of $1,000 only; 

(6) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to such Offer to Purchase will be required to surrender the Note,
with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the
notice at least three days before the Purchase Date; 
 (7) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the
Paying Agent receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement
that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; 
 (8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of
Notes and other Pari Passu Obligations surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee will select the Notes and the Company will select other Pari Passu Obligations to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the
principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Obligations surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that no Note of $1,000 or less can be redeemed in part and that minimum denominations of $1,000 in
excess thereof are maintained); and 
 (9) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes
equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer). 
 On or
before the Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, or if less than the
Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for
payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.10 and Section 4.18 (“Asset Sales”). The  

  
 36 







 
Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an
amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order from the Company, will
authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered
by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Offer to Purchase on the Purchase Date. 
 (f)
Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.10, any repurchase pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 (“Notices to Trustee”) through 3.06 (“Notes Redeemed or
Purchased in Part”) hereof as and to the extent applicable as if such repurchase were a redemption provided for therein. 
 The Company
will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to any Offer
to Purchase. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 3.10 or Section 4.18 (“Asset Sales”) of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 3.10 or Section 4.18 (“Asset Sales”) of this Indenture by virtue of such conflict. 

ARTICLE 4 
 COVENANTS 

Section 4.01 Payment of Notes. 
 The
Company will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in this Indenture and the Notes. Principal, premium, and interest will be considered paid on the date due if
the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds, as of 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the due date, money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium,

the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices
and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or
more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or
rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
 The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office

the Guarantors have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her actual knowledge each of the Company and each
Guarantor has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or
Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have actual knowledge and what action the Company or Guarantor is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or
her actual knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action
the Company or Guarantor is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 (b) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company
will deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with
respect thereto. 
 Section 4.05 Taxes. 

The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to file all material tax returns to be filed and to pay, prior to delinquency, all
material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment or make such filing is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of
the Notes. 
 Section 4.06 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

The Company and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or
in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and
each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted. 
 Section 4.07
Restricted Payments. 
 (a) The Company will not, and the Company will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly: 
 (1) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of Equity Interests of
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of the
Company’s or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company and other than dividends or
distributions payable to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary); 
 (2) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire
for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company) any Equity Interests of the Company; 

(3) make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any
Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor that is 

  
 38 







 
contractually subordinated to the Notes or to any Note Guarantee (excluding any intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of such Restricted Subsidiaries that are
Guarantors), except a payment of regularly scheduled interest or principal at the Stated Maturity thereof; or 
 (4) make any
Restricted Investment 
 (all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as
“Restricted Payments”), 
 unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment: 

(1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment;

 (2) the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such
Restricted Payment had been made on the first day of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio test set forth in
Section 4.08(a) (“Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock”) hereof; and 
 (3) such
Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries since the date of this Indenture (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4) and
(9) of subsection (b) of this Section 4.07), is less than the sum, without duplication, of: 
 (A) 50% of the
Consolidated Net Income of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (plus, to the extent deducted in computing such Consolidated Net Income, any interest paid in-kind with respect to the Secured Convertible Notes as set
forth in clause (1)(c) of the definition of Consolidated Interest Expense and, without duplication, the amortization of original issue discount, if any, with respect to such paid-in-kind interest payments on the Secured Convertible Notes) for
the period (taken as one accounting period) from the first day of the first fiscal quarter commencing after the Issue Date to the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at
the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit); plus 

(B) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company after the date of this Indenture as a contribution to its
common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of the
Company that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary of the Company); plus 

(C) to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after the date of this Indenture is sold for cash or otherwise
liquidated or repaid for cash, the lesser of (i) the cash return of capital with respect to such Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any) and (ii) the initial amount of such Restricted Investment; plus 

(D) to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary designated as such after the date of this Indenture is redesignated as a
Restricted Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Company’s Investment in such Subsidiary, as the case may be, as of the date of such redesignation or (ii) such Fair Market Value as
of the date on which such Subsidiary was originally designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture. 
 (b) So
long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, the preceding provisions will not prohibit: 

(1) the payment of any dividend or distribution or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within 60 days after the date
of declaration of the dividend or distribution or giving of the redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of declaration or notice, the dividend, distribution or redemption payment would have complied with the provisions of this
Indenture; 

  
 39 







 (2) the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of the net cash
proceeds of the sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of, Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the contribution of common equity capital to the Company, in each case, within 180 days of such exchange,
sale or contribution; provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment will be excluded from clause (3)(B) of the preceding paragraph; 

(3) the repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Indebtedness of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary that is contractually subordinated to the Notes or to any Note Guarantee with the net cash proceeds from a substantially concurrent incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; 

(4) the payment of any dividend (or, in the case of any partnership or limited liability company, any similar distribution) by
a Restricted Subsidiary to the holders of its Equity Interests on a pro rata basis; 
 (5) the declaration and payment
of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary issued after the date of this Indenture in accordance with the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio test
set forth in Section 4.08(a) (“Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock”); 
 (6)
repurchases of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon exercise of stock options or warrants if such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price of such options or warrants; 

(7) Restricted Payments by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to allow the payment of cash in lieu of the issuance of
fractional shares upon the exercise of options or warrants or upon the conversion or exchange of Capital Stock of any such Person; 

(8) (i) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary held by any current or former officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to any equity subscription agreement, severance agreement, stock option agreement, shareholders’
agreement or similar agreement; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests may not exceed $2.0 million in any twelve-month period (with any portion of such $2.0 million that
is unused in any twelve-month period to be carried forward to successive twelve-month periods and added to such amount), and (ii) any payments pursuant to dividend equivalent rights granted pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan, to the
extent that (x) such payments are treated as Restricted Payments for all purposes hereunder and (y) at the time the related dividend or distribution was declared, or the related redemption notice was given, such payments would have been
permitted to be paid under this Section 4.07; 
 (9) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value
of any Subordinated Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions similar to those described under Section 4.17 (“Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control”) and Section 4.18 (“Asset Sales”); provided that all Notes
tendered by Holders in connection with a Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer, as applicable, have been repurchased, redeemed or acquired for value; and 

(10) the making of any distributions required to be made by the Company on or after the Issue Date pursuant to the Plan of
Reorganization and the Confirmation Order. 
 (c) The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on
the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The Fair Market Value of any assets or
securities that are required to be valued by this Section will be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company whose resolution with respect thereto will be delivered to the Trustee. Such Board of Directors’ determination must be based
upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if the Fair Market Value exceeds 3.5% of the Company’s Consolidated Tangible Assets. 

  
 40 







 (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 4.07 shall
prohibit the conversion of the Secured Convertible Notes into Equity Interests of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Secured Convertible Indenture. 

Section 4.08 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue,
assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), none of the Company or any of the Restricted
Subsidiaries will issue any Disqualified Stock, and the Company will not, and the Company will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock or other shares of preferred stock, if the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis for the
most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or other shares of preferred stock is
issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, in each case determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the Net Proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the
Disqualified Stock or other shares of preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, on the first day of such four-quarter period. 

(b) The provisions of Section 4.08(a) (“Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock”) hereof will not
prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”): 

(1) the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness and letters of credit under a Credit Facility (with
letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and the Guarantors thereunder) in a maximum aggregate principal amount under this clause (1) not to exceed (i) $175.0 million
plus (ii) an amount not to exceed $125.0 million less the Indebtedness represented by the Notes then outstanding; 
 (2)
the incurrence by the Company and any Guarantor of Indebtedness (including any subsequent accretion) represented by the Secured Convertible Notes to be issued on the Issue Date (or that may be issued pursuant to awards granted from time to time
under the Management Incentive Plan in a maximum principal amount not in excess of the maximum principal amount issuable pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan as in effect on the Issue Date and in compliance with the terms of the Secured
Convertible Indenture) and any guarantees thereof; 
 (3) the incurrence by the Company and any Guarantor of Indebtedness
represented by the Notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued on the Issue Date; 
 (4) the incurrence by the Company
or any Restricted Subsidiary of Existing Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of this Section 4.08(b)); 

(5) the incurrence by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations,
mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the
business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, provided that the Company would be able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the ratio set forth in Section 4.08(a) after giving effect to the incurrence of any
such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (5); 
 (6) Indebtedness of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries
incurred and outstanding on or prior to the date on which a new Subsidiary was acquired by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness incurred in contemplation of, or in connection with, the transaction or series of related
transactions pursuant to which such Subsidiary became a Subsidiary of or was otherwise acquired by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary); provided, however, that (a) on the date that such Subsidiary is acquired by, or is
merged into the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, the Company would have been able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the ratio set forth in clause (a) of this Section 4.08 after giving effect to the
incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (6); and (b) the new Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and a Guarantor; 

  
 41 







 (7) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the Net Proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred
under Section 4.08(a) or clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (6) or this clause (7) of this Section 4.08(b), provided that, with respect to any such debt incurred pursuant to Section 4.08(a) or clauses (1) or (2) of this
Section 4.08(b), an authorized representative on behalf of the holders or lenders of such Indebtedness, as applicable, shall execute a joinder, supplement or amendment to the Intercreditor Agreements pursuant which the holders or lenders of
such Indebtedness, as applicable, and any agent, trustee or person or institution holding a similar title therefor shall become bound by, and subject to the terms of, the Intercreditor Agreements; 

(8) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company
and the Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that: 
 (1) if the payee is not the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the Notes and the Note Guarantees; and 

(2) any (A) subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other
than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, or (B) sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness
by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (8); 
 (9) the
incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business; 
 (10) the
guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.08; provided that if the Indebtedness being
guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes, then the guarantee shall be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed; 

(11) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness in respect of workers’ compensation
claims, self-insurance obligations, bankers’ acceptances, and performance and surety bonds in the ordinary course of business; 

(12) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other
financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is covered within five Business Days; 

(13) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness arising from agreements providing for
indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, or guarantees or letters of credit, surety bonds or performance bonds securing any obligations of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to such agreements, in any case
incurred in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or Restricted Subsidiary (other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Restricted Subsidiary for the purpose
of financing such acquisition), so long as the amount does not exceed the gross proceeds actually received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such disposition; 

(14) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or
accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (14), not to exceed $75.0
million; and 

  
 42 







 (15) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness
with respect to equipment mobilization expenditures that are committed to be reimbursed by any Person party to a Drilling Contract in an aggregate amount not to exceed (a) $50.0 million in respect of each Deepwater Vessel and (b) $25.0
million in respect of each Jackup Rig at any time outstanding. 
 None of the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries will
incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of
payment to the Notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness solely by virtue of
being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior Lien basis. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with this
Section 4.08, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (15) above, or is
entitled to be incurred pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 4.08, the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary will be permitted to divide and classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later
re-divide or re-classify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock in any manner that complies with this Section 4.08. The accrual of interest or preferred stock dividends, the accretion or
amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and
the payment of dividends on preferred stock in the form of shares of the same class of preferred stock, Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or
an issuance of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock for purposes of this Section 4.08; provided, in each such case, that the amount of any such accrual, accretion or payment is included in Consolidated Interest Expense of the Company as
accrued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.08, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 4.08 shall not be deemed to be exceeded
solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. 
 The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date
will be: 
 (1) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

 (2) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and 

(3) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of: 

(A) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and 

(B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person. 

Section 4.09 Liens. 
 The Company
will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind on any asset or property now owned or hereafter acquired that secures any Obligations under
any Indebtedness (except Permitted Liens). 
 Section 4.10 Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become
effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to: 
 (1) pay
dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company
or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries; 

  
 43 







 (2) make loans or advances to the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries;
or 
 (3) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries. 

However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: 

(1) any Credit Facility, provided that the encumbrances and restrictions contained therein, including any related
collateral documents, and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment
restrictions than those contained in the Credit Agreement; 
 (2) agreements governing Existing Indebtedness as in effect on
the Issue Date and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings,
replacements or refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the date of this Indenture; 

(3) this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees; 

(4) applicable law, rule, regulation or order; 

(5) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Equity Interests of a Person acquired by the Company or any of the Restricted
Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Equity Interests was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any
Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be
incurred; 
 (6) customary non-assignment provisions in contracts and licenses entered into in the ordinary course of
business; 
 (7) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business, mortgage financings and
Capital Lease Obligations that impose restrictions on the property purchased or mortgaged or leased of the nature described in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph; 

(8) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of any Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that
Restricted Subsidiary pending the sale or other disposition; 
 (9) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that
the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced; 

(10) Liens permitted to be incurred under Section 4.09 (“Liens”) that limit the right of the debtor to dispose
of the assets subject to such Liens; 
 (11) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in
joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements, which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of such agreements; 

(12) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary
course of business; 
 (13) restrictions contained in, or in request of, Hedging Obligations permitted to be incurred by this
Indenture; 

  
 44 







 (14) any customary encumbrances or restrictions imposed pursuant to any agreement
of the type described in the definition of “Permitted Investments”; and 
 (15) the Secured Convertible Indenture
or the Secured Convertible Notes and related guarantees. 
 Section 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or
sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for
the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”) unless: 

(1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or any applicable Restricted Subsidiary
than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or any applicable Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person or, if there is no such comparable transaction, on terms that are fair and reasonable to the Company
and any applicable Restricted Subsidiary and reflect an arms’ length negotiation; and 
 (2) the Company delivers to the
Trustee: 
 (A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate
consideration in excess of $5.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.11 and that such Affiliate
Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company; and 
 (B)
with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Company or any applicable Restricted Subsidiary of such
Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing. 

(b) The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior
paragraph: 
 (1) any employment agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or director indemnification agreement or any
similar arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto; 

(2) payment of reasonable directors’ fees to Persons who are not otherwise Affiliates of the Company; 

(3) transactions between or among the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(4) loans or advances to employees of the Company in the ordinary course of business not to exceed $5.0 million in the

(6) Restricted Payments that do not violate Section 4.07 (“Restricted Payments”); 

(7) any agreement as in effect on the Issue Date immediately following, and after giving effect to, the consummation of the
Plan of Reorganization, or any amendments, renewals or extensions of any such agreement (so long as such amendments, renewals or extensions are not less favorable to the Holders); and 

  
 45 







 (8) payments under the Plan of Reorganization as is in effect on the Issue Date.

 Section 4.12 Business Activities. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except
to such extent as would not be material to the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 
 Section 4.13 Additional Note
Guarantees. 
 (a) For so long as the Credit Agreement is outstanding, the Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries,
other than a Guarantor, to guarantee the payment of any Credit Facility of the Company or any other Guarantor unless, within 20 Business Days of the date on which such Subsidiary becomes subject to this Section 4.13(a), the Company: 

(1) causes such Subsidiary to: 

(A) execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Subsidiary will become a Guarantor; and 

(B) execute amendments to or otherwise accede to or join the Collateral Agreements and cause the same to be perfected pursuant
to which it becomes subject to the obligations of a Guarantor thereunder and pledge its assets, including the Equity Interests it owns in any of its Subsidiaries, pursuant to the Collateral Agreements; 

and 
 (2) delivers
an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory in form to the Trustee. 
 (b) If at any time after the Credit Agreement ceases to be
outstanding, (i) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries acquire or create another Restricted Subsidiary other than an Immaterial Subsidiary, (ii) any Restricted Subsidiary that constitutes an Immaterial Subsidiary ceases to constitute
an Immaterial Subsidiary, (iii) any Subsidiary of the Company that is not already a Guarantor guarantees any Credit Facility or owns any Vessel, (iv) any Subsidiary of the Company that is not already a Guarantor is the subject of a
Contract Winning Trigger or (v) any Subsidiary of the Company that is not already a Guarantor becomes an Internal Charterer, then, within 20 Business Days of the date on which such Subsidiary becomes subject to this Section 4.13(b), the
Company shall: 
 (1) cause such Subsidiary to: 

(A) execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Subsidiary will become a Guarantor; and 

(B) execute amendments to or otherwise accede to or join the Collateral Agreements and cause the same to be perfected pursuant
to which it becomes subject to the obligations of a Guarantor thereunder and pledge its assets, including the Equity Interests it owns in any of its Subsidiaries, pursuant to the Collateral Agreements; 

and 
 (2) deliver
an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory in form to the Trustee, 
 provided that to the extent a Subsidiary of the Company became a
Guarantor solely due to clause (iv) above, such Subsidiary shall be released from its Note Guarantee and related pledge following the occurrence of a Contract Unwind Trigger provided the conditions to that release are satisfied. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such Subsidiary shall be required to provide any such Note Guarantee to the extent that the granting of such
guarantee would be a violation of applicable laws. 

  
 46 







 Each Note Guarantee may be released in accordance with Section 11.05. 

Section 4.14 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

(a) The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if: 

(1) the Company could make the Restricted Payment which is deemed to occur upon such designation in accordance with
Section 4.07 (“Restricted Payments”) equal to the appropriate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries in such Subsidiary at the time of such designation; 

(2) such Restricted Subsidiary meets the definition of an “Unrestricted Subsidiary”; 

(3) the designation would not constitute or cause (with or without the passage of time) a Default or Event of Default or no
Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation; and 
 (4) the Company delivers to the Trustee
a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by
Section 4.07 (“Restricted Payments”). 
 If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate
Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will
reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 (“Restricted Payments”) or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company. 

If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary designated as such would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or
any other Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the definition of an “Unrestricted Subsidiary,” then such Subsidiary will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such
Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.08 (“Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred
Stock”), the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary will be in default of such covenant. 
 In connection with the occurrence
of a Contract Unwind Trigger, the Company may cause an applicable Restricted Subsidiary to be designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary if it meets the conditions set forth in this Section 4.14(a). 

(b) The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if: 

(1) the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries could incur the Indebtedness which is deemed to be incurred upon such
designation under Section 4.08 (“Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock”), equal to the total Indebtedness of such Subsidiary calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred on the first
day of the four-quarter reference period; 
 (2) the designation would not constitute or cause a Default or Event of Default;
and 
 (3) the Company delivers to the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of Company giving
effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions, including the incurrence of Indebtedness under Section 4.08 (“Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of
Preferred Stock”). 
 The Company shall be required to designate each applicable Subsidiary that is required to provide a Note Guarantee
pursuant to Section 4.13 hereof to become a Restricted Subsidiary and shall cause each such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor and pledge its assets and property as Collateral pursuant to Section 4.13


  
 47 







 
(“Additional Note Guarantees”) and shall be required to comply with the conditions set forth in this clause (b) of this Section 4.14 in connection therewith within 20 Business
Days or as soon as practicable where applicable local law requires additional time for compliance with applicable legal requirements. 
 Section 4.15
Payments for Consent. 
 The Company will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any of their respective
Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless
such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 

Section 4.16 Reports. 
 (a) Whether
or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, commencing on the date on which the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 is due, the Company will furnish to the
Holders or cause the Trustee to furnish to the Holders of Global Notes, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations: 

(1) all quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K that would be required to be filed with the SEC on such
forms if the Company were required to file such reports under the Exchange Act (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015); 

(2) all current reports on Form 8-K that would be required to be filed with the SEC on such form if the Company were required
to file such reports under the Exchange Act; and 
 (3) in a footnote to the Company’s financial statements included in
quarterly or annual reports to be filed or furnished pursuant to clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 4.16(a), the financial information required to comply with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act. 

All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports.
Each annual report on Form 10-K will include a report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements by the Company’s certified independent accountants. In addition, the Company will post the reports on its website within the time
periods specified in the rules and regulations applicable to such reports and the Company will file a copy of each of the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 4.16(a) with the SEC for public availability within
those time periods (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing). The Company will be deemed to have furnished such reports referred to above to the Trustee and Holders if the Company has filed such reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system
(or any successor system) and such reports are publicly available. 
 If at any time the Company is not subject to the periodic reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Company will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 4.16(a) with the SEC within the time periods specified by the SEC for registrants
that are non-accelerated filers unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. The Company will not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept the
Company’s filings for any reason, the Company will post the reports referred to in the preceding paragraphs on its website (or otherwise make available to the Noteholders) within the time periods that would apply to non-accelerated filers if
the Company were required to file those reports with the SEC. 
 (b) The quarterly and annual reports and financial information
required by Section 4.16(a) will include a Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (the “MD&A”) of the Company, which shall include a discussion and analysis of the Company
and the Restricted Subsidiaries. If the Board of Directors of the Company has designated any of the Restricted Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by Section 4.16(a) will
include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and also in the MD&A, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries
separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

  
 48 







 The Company agrees that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, it will use commercially
reasonable efforts to hold and participate in quarterly conference calls with Holders of the Notes and securities analysts relating to the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries. 

(c) In addition, the Company and the Guarantors agree that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, if at any time they are not required
to file with the SEC the reports required by the preceding paragraphs, they will furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4)
under the Securities Act. 
 (d) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee shall be for informational purposes
only, and the Trustee’s receipt thereof shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company, compliance with any of their covenants hereunder
(as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
 (e) Documents filed by us with the SEC via the
EDGAR system will be deemed filed with the Trustee as of the time such documents are filed via EDGAR. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall
not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely
exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
 Section 4.17 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 

(a) Subject to the terms of, and the relative priorities and related rights set forth in, the Intercreditor Agreements, if a Change of
Control occurs, each Holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to a minimum amount of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to a change of control offer (a
“Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in this Indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall offer a payment (the “Change of Control Payment”) in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.
Within ten (10) Business Days following any Change of Control, the Company shall send a notice to the Trustee and each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating: 

(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.17 and that all Notes tendered will be
accepted for payment; 
 (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later
than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 
 (3) that any Note
not tendered will continue to accrue interest; 
 (4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of
Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the
Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third
Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if
the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount
of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and 

(7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the
unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000. 

  
 49 







 The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture by virtue
of such compliance. 
 (b) On or before the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: 

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; 

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes
properly tendered; and 
 (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an
Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company. 

The Paying Agent shall promptly send to each Holder properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee
shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such Note will be in a principal
amount of $1,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. 

The provisions described above that require the Company to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable
whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable. 
 The Company shall not be required to make a Change of
Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made
by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has previously been given pursuant to this Indenture as described above under Article 3 unless and until
there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price, provided that following the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company may not redeem the Notes in accordance with Section 3.07 (“Optional Redemption”) prior
to the making of a Change of Control Offer. 
 Section 4.18 Asset Sales. 

(a) The Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset
Sale unless: 
 (1) the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of the
Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; 

(2) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of
cash; provided, however, that to the extent that any disposition in such Asset Sale was of Collateral, the non-cash consideration received is pledged as Collateral under the Collateral Agreements contemporaneously with such sale, in
accordance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture; and 
 (3) in the case of a Vessel Asset Sale of a Deepwater
Vessel, the Company would, immediately after giving pro forma effect thereto, including the application of the net proceeds therefrom, as if the same had occurred on the first day of the applicable four-quarter period, (A) be permitted
to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.08(a) (“Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock”), or (B) have a Consolidated
Interest Coverage Ratio that is no worse than the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio immediately prior to such Vessel Asset Sale. 

  
 50 







 For purposes of this Section 4.18, each of the following will be deemed to be cash: 

(A) any liabilities, as shown on the Company’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets so long as the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary are
released from further liability; 
 (B) any securities, Notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such
Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of the receipt thereof, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; 

(C) any stock or assets of the kind referred to in clauses (2) or (4) of paragraph (b) of this
Section 4.18; and 
 (D) any Designated Non-cash Consideration, when taken together with all other Designated Non-cash
Consideration received pursuant to this clause (D) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed 2.0% of the Company’s Consolidated Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair
Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value). 

Any Asset Sale pursuant to an Involuntary Transfer shall not be required to satisfy the conditions set forth in clauses (1), (2) and
(3) of this Section 4.18(a). 
 (b) Subject to the terms of, and the relative priorities and related rights set forth in the
Intercreditor Agreements, within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale (including, without limitation, an Involuntary Transfer), the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply such Net
Proceeds: 
 (1) to repay Indebtedness of the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries, including Notes and permanent
reductions of Obligations under any Credit Facility (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto); 

(2) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business of the Company,
if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, such Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary; 

(3) to make a capital expenditure for the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries; or 

(4) to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in the
Company’s Permitted Business; 
 provided that clauses (2) through (4) above shall be deemed to be satisfied if a bona fide binding
contract committing to make the investment, acquisition or expenditure referred to herein is entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, with a Person within such 360-day period and such Net Proceeds are
subsequently applied in accordance with such contract within one year and six months following the date of such Asset Sale. In the event any such contract is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Proceeds are applied in
connection therewith, then such Net Proceeds must be applied as set forth herein and if such termination or cancellation occurs later than the 360-day period, shall constitute Excess Proceeds as set forth in Section 4.18(c). 

(c) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 4.18 will
constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Company shall, within ten (10) Business Days thereof, make an offer (the “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders
and all holders of other Pari Passu Obligations containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes
and such other Pari Passu Obligations that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. 

  
 51 







 (d) The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. 
 (e) If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of
an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements; provided that pending any such application, the proceeds of the Asset Sale, whether
assets, property or cash, are subject to a Lien under the Collateral Agreements. 
 (f) If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other
Pari Passu Obligations tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and the Company shall select such other Pari Passu Obligations to be purchased on a pro rata basis,
provided that applicable denominations of the Notes are preserved. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. 

The Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into or suffer to exist any agreement (other than
the Indenture Documents, the Credit Agreement Documents, the Secured Convertible Collateral Agreements and the Intercreditor Agreements, similar documents entered into in accordance with the Indenture, and collateral documents creating Liens
permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09 provided that such collateral documents do not contain terms materially less favorable to the Holders than those contained in the Collateral Agreements) that would place any restriction
of any kind (other than pursuant to law or regulation) on the ability of the Company to make an Asset Sale Offer. 
 The Company shall
comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale
Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have
breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 
 Section 4.19 Impairment of Security
Interest. 
 Neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be permitted to take any action, or omit to take any action, which action or
omission might or would have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Noteholder Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes except as expressly set forth in, or
permitted by, the Indenture Documents and the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Neither the Company nor the Guarantors shall be permitted to take any action or otherwise attempt to enforce any claim (other than the Credit Agreement Obligations or
obligations arising under any other Credit Facility entered into in accordance with the terms of this Indenture) or maritime Lien (other than the Liens created by the Credit Agreement Collateral Agreements or other instruments giving rise to any
such Lien entered into in accordance with this Indenture) against any Vessel that has priority over any claim or Lien of the Noteholder Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes in respect of any Collateral, including any such
claims or Liens arising under Ship Mortgages. 
 Any release of Collateral in accordance with Section 12.03 (“Release of
Collateral”) and the Collateral Agreements and the Credit Agreement Collateral Agreements will not be deemed to impair the security under the Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof, and any appraiser or other expert may rely on
such provision in delivering a certificate requesting release. 
 Section 4.20 Withholding Taxes. 

(a) All payments made on behalf of the Company or any Guarantor under or with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees must be made
free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) imposed or
levied by or on behalf of any Specified Tax Jurisdiction or by any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax (or the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any successor of the Company or any Guarantor) (hereinafter
“Taxes”), unless the Company or the applicable Guarantor, as applicable, are so required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof by the relevant government authority or agency.


  
 52 







 (b) If the Company or any Guarantor (or any successor of any of them), as applicable, are
so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantee, the Company or such Guarantor (or any successor of any of them), as applicable, will be required
to pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each Holder (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount the Holder
would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to payments made to a Holder (such Holder in such capacity, an “Excluded
Holder”) in respect of a Beneficial Owner: 
 (1) which is subject to such Taxes by reason of its being
connected with any Specified Tax Jurisdiction, including such Holder or beneficial owner being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having, or having had, a
permanent establishment therein, otherwise than by the mere holding of Notes, the enforcement of rights under the indenture or the receipt of payments thereunder (or under the related Note Guarantee); 

(2) which presents any Note for payment of principal more than 30 days after the later of (x) the date on which payment
first became due and (y) if the full amount payable has not been received by the Trustee on or prior to such due date, the date on which, the full amount payable having been so received, notice to that effect shall have been given to the
Holders by the Trustee, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting such Note for payment on the last day of the applicable 30-day period; 

(3) which failed duly and timely to comply with a reasonable, timely request of the Company to provide, to the extent it is
legally entitled to do so, information, documents or other evidence concerning the Holder’s nationality, residence, entitlement to treaty benefits, identity or connection with any Specified Tax Jurisdiction, if and to the extent that due and
timely compliance with such request would have reduced or eliminated any Taxes as to which Additional Amounts would have otherwise been payable to such Holder but for this clause (3); 

(4) except as specifically provided in this Section 4.20, on account of any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer,
personal property or other similar Tax; 
 (5) which is a fiduciary, a partnership or not the Beneficial Owner of any payment
on a Note, if and to the extent that any beneficiary or settlor of such fiduciary, any partner in such partnership or the Beneficial Owner of such payment (as the case may be) would not have been entitled to receive Additional Amounts with respect
to such payment if such beneficiary, settlor, partner or Beneficial Owner had been the Holder of such Note; 
 (6) on account
of Taxes imposed on a payment to an individual or to the benefit of an individual and required to be made pursuant to the European Council Directive 2003/48/EC, European Council Directive 2014/48/EU or any other directive implementing the
conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26 and 27, 2000 on the taxation of savings income, or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, those directives; 

(7) to the extent the Additional Amount relates to any Taxes imposed on a Note presented for payment by or on behalf of a
Holder who would have been able to avoid that withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Note to another Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union; 

(8) on account of or pursuant to an agreement described in Section 1471(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “U.S. Tax Code”), or otherwise pursuant to Section 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Tax Code, any current or future regulations or agreements thereunder, official interpretations thereof, or any laws, rules or
practices implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto; or 
 (9) any combination of the foregoing numbered clauses of
this Section. 

  
 53 







 (c) The Company or any applicable Guarantor (or any successor of any of them), as applicable,
will also make such withholding or deduction and remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority as and when required in accordance with applicable law. The Company or any applicable Guarantor (or any successor of any of them),
as applicable, will furnish to the Trustee, within 30 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Company or such Guarantor (or any successor of any of them),
as applicable: 
 (1) in such form as provided in the normal course by the taxing authority imposing such Taxes and as is
reasonably available to the Company or such Guarantor (or any successor of any of them), as applicable; and 
 (2) certified
by such taxing authority (or, if no such certification is available from such taxing authority, then by means of an Officers’ Certificate from the Company or such Guarantor (or any successor of any of them), as applicable). 

The Trustee shall thereafter make such evidence available to the Holders upon written request. 

(d) The Company or any Guarantor (or any successor of any of them), as applicable, will upon written request of each Holder (other than a
Holder that is an Excluded Holder with respect to a given payment due hereunder), reimburse each such Holder for the amount of: 

(1) any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Holder as a result of payments made under or with respect to the Notes, the
Note Guarantee, a Mortgage or other Security Agreement, as applicable; and 
 (2) any Taxes imposed with respect to any such
reimbursement under the immediately preceding clause (1), but excluding any Taxes on such Holder’s net income, so that the net amount received by such Holder after such reimbursement will not be less than the net amount the Holder would have
received if Taxes (other than such Taxes on such Holder’s net income) on such reimbursement had not been imposed. 
 (e) Whenever in
this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, (i) the payment of principal, (ii) purchase or redemption prices in connection with a purchase or redemption of Notes, (iii) interest or (iv) any other amount payable on or with
respect to any of the Notes, or any payment pursuant to the Note Guarantee, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this section to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts
are, were or would be payable in respect thereof. 
 (f) The foregoing obligations shall survive any defeasance or discharge of this
Indenture. 
 (g) The Company or the Guarantors will pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any other excise or
property taxes, charges or similar levies that are imposed by any Specified Tax Jurisdiction from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of the Notes, the Note Guarantee or a Mortgage or other Collateral Agreement or any other document
or instrument in relation thereto, or the receipt of any payments with respect to the Notes, the Note Guarantee, a Mortgage or other Security Agreement. 

Section 4.21 Vessel Transfers and Partial Vessel Sales. 

(a) The Company and the Guarantors shall be permitted to transfer all of the legal title to a Vessel from one existing Guarantor to another
existing Guarantor (or to an entity that simultaneously with such transfer becomes a Guarantor) subject to all of the existing security that is Collateral covering such Vessel remaining in place and upon completion of the following: 

(1) the Company shall give the Noteholder Collateral Agent written notice of any such proposed transfer not fewer than 14 days
prior to the anticipated date of such transfer; 
 (2) the bill of sale or other instrument of transfer will explicitly state
that the transfer is subject to the assumption or continuance of the existing Ship Mortgage in full force and effect; 

  
 54 







 (3) the relevant Vessel will be duly re-registered in the name of the transferee
Guarantor under the laws and flag of the relevant jurisdiction simultaneously with such transfer and evidence thereof delivered to the Noteholder Collateral Agent on such date; 

(4) if appropriate in the opinion of the legal counsel described in clause (7) of this Section 4.21, an instrument of
assumption of mortgage will be executed by the transferee Guarantor and the Noteholder Collateral Agent and registered promptly with such transfer with the appropriate authorities of the Vessel’s jurisdiction of registry, or any such other
instrument required to perfect a Ship Mortgage in favor of the Noteholder Collateral Agent as required by the Vessel’s jurisdiction of registry; 

(5) simultaneously with such transfer, the transferee Guarantor shall acknowledge in writing to the Noteholder Collateral Agent
that the Ship Mortgage and all other Collateral relating to the Vessel remains in full force and effect and is ratified and confirmed by the transferee Guarantor; 

(6) on the same date of such transfer, the Company and the transferee Guarantor shall deliver to the Noteholder Collateral
Agent a certificate of ownership and encumbrance or similar certificate issued by the jurisdiction of registration of the Vessel evidencing re-registration in the name of the transferee Guarantor and the continuance of the Ship Mortgage in favor of
the Noteholder Collateral Agent; and 
 (7) the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Noteholder Collateral Agent on the
same date of such transfer a legal opinion from outside counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Noteholder Collateral Agent to the following effect (i) the Vessel is duly registered (preliminarily registered, if the jurisdiction is Panama) in
the name of the transferee Guarantor with the appropriate authorities of the Vessel’s jurisdiction of registry; (ii) the Ship Mortgage constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the transferee Guarantor and remains duly
registered as a Required Priority Lien or ship mortgage in favor of the Noteholder Collateral Agent with priority dating back to the date on which such Ship Mortgage was initially registered in favor of the Noteholder Collateral Agent; (iii) an
assumption of the Ship Mortgage by the transferee Guarantor has been duly registered (preliminarily registered if the jurisdiction is Panama) (or an opinion that such an assumption is not required to maintain the status of the mortgage or the
assumption by the transferee Guarantor of all obligations of the mortgagor thereunder); (iv) all Collateral relating to the Vessel constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations of the transferee Guarantor; (v) all filings and consents
with respect to such transfer in the relevant jurisdictions have been obtained or made; and (vi) such transfer is in compliance with the terms of this Indenture. Such legal opinion shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Noteholder Collateral Agent. The counsel issuing such opinion may rely on local counsel admitted to practice in the jurisdiction of registration of the Vessel with respect to matters governed by the laws of such jurisdiction. If the Vessel
transferred is registered under the laws and flag of Panama, the Company shall also deliver to the Noteholder Collateral Agent an opinion of Panamanian counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Noteholder Collateral Agent not later than five
(5) months after the date of transfer confirming that such Vessel has been permanently registered in the name of the transferee Guarantor and that any assumption of Ship Mortgage or other instrument required to be filed has been permanently
recorded. 
 (b) The Company and the Guarantors shall be permitted to transfer partial interests in a Vessel in a transaction that complies
with the terms of this Indenture, including Section 4.07 (“Restricted Payments”), Section 4.18 (“Asset Sales”) and Section 5.01 (“Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets”) and upon completion of the
following:

fewer than 14 days prior to the anticipated date of such transfer; 
 (2) any bill of sale or other instrument of partial
transfer shall state on its face that the interest transferred is subject to the lien of the relevant Ship Mortgage; 
 (3)
the relevant Vessel will be duly re-registered in the joint names of the transferor Guarantor and the transferee showing the individual percentage interest held by each under the laws and flag of the relevant jurisdiction simultaneously with such
transfer and evidence thereof delivered to the Noteholder Collateral Agent on such date; 
 (4) simultaneously with such
transfer the transferee will acknowledge in writing to the Noteholder Collateral Agent that it takes its interest subject to the Ship Mortgage; 

  
 55 







 (5) on the same date of such transfer, the Company shall deliver to the
Noteholder Collateral Agent a certificate of ownership and encumbrance or similar certificate issued by the jurisdiction of registration of the Vessel evidencing (x) re-registration in the joint names of the transferor Guarantor and the
transferee and (y) the continuance of the Ship Mortgage in favor of the Noteholder Collateral Agent; and 
 (6) the
Company shall cause to be delivered to the Noteholder Collateral Agent on the same date of such transfer a legal opinion from outside counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Noteholder Collateral Agent to the following effect (i) the Vessel is
duly registered (preliminarily registered if the jurisdiction is Panama) in the joint names of the transferor Guarantor and the transferee with the appropriate authorities of the Vessel’s jurisdiction of registry; (ii) the Ship Mortgage
continues to constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the transferor Guarantor and remains duly registered as a Required Priority Lien or ship mortgage in favor of the Noteholder Collateral Agent with priority dating back to the date on

filings and consents with respect to such transfer in the relevant jurisdictions have been obtained or made; and (v) such transfer is in compliance with the terms of this Indenture. Such legal opinion shall be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Noteholder Collateral Agent. The counsel issuing such opinion may rely on local counsel admitted to practice in the jurisdiction of registration of the Vessel with respect to matters governed by the laws of such jurisdiction. If
the Vessel transferred is registered under the laws and flag of Panama, the Company shall also deliver to the Noteholder Collateral Agent an opinion of Panamanian counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Noteholder Collateral Agent not later than five
(5) months after the date of transfer confirming that such Vessel has been permanently registered in the joint names of the transferor Guarantor and the transferee. 

Section 4.22 Earnings Accounts. 
 (a)
Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, cause all Earnings paid or payable to any Note Party under each Drilling Contract to be deposited into one or more Earnings Accounts,
and each Earnings Account shall at all times be in the name of a Note Party and shall be subject to an Account Control Agreement (or other comparable arrangements under applicable laws effective to perfect the Lien of the Noteholder Collateral Agent
under applicable Legal Requirements (and otherwise on terms acceptable to the Noteholder Collateral Agent)) (in each case except for (i) accounts established and used exclusively for the purpose of funding payroll, payroll taxes and other
compensation and benefits to employees and (ii) Foreign Deposit Accounts; provided that no such Foreign Deposit Account shall have a cash balance greater than $5,000,000 at any time, and all such Foreign Deposit Accounts, collectively,
shall not have a cash balance greater than $25,000,000 in the aggregate at any time, in each case, for more than ten (10) consecutive Business Days); provided that, if the terms of a Drilling Contract, Permitted Third Party Charter, or
any applicable Legal Requirements require that any such Earnings be paid to a non-United States bank account by the counterparty to such Drilling Contract or Permitted Third Party Charter, as applicable, this covenant shall not be deemed violated if
funds standing to the credit of such account are transferred as soon as reasonably practicable after deposit thereof in the jurisdiction in which the account is located to an account that qualifies as an Earnings Account. 

Section 4.23 Suspension of Covenants. 

(a) If on any date following the Issue Date, (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and
(ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture then, beginning on that day (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant
Suspension Event”), the following covenants will be suspended (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”): 

(1) Section 4.07; 

(2) Section 4.08; 

(3) Section 4.10; 

(4) Section 4.11; 

(5) Section 4.13; 

  
 56 







 (6) Section 4.18; and 

(7) clause (4) of Section 5.01(a). 

(b) In the event that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for
any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an
Investment Grade Rating, then the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to events from any such Reversion Date until the maturity of the Notes unless
there is a subsequent Covenant Suspension Event. The period of time between any Covenant Suspension Event and any Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the “Suspension Period.” 

(c) On any Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or preferred stock issued, during the Suspension Period
will be classified as having been incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.08(a) or one of the clauses set forth under Section 4.08(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or preferred stock would be permitted to be
incurred or issued thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness incurred or issued prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date); provided that to the extent such Indebtedness,
Disqualified Stock or preferred stock would not be so permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.08(a) such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it
is classified as permitted under clause (3) of Section 4.08(b). Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 will be made as though the covenant set forth in
Section 4.07 had been in effect since the Issue Date and prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will not reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments
under Section 4.07(a). 
 (d) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate notifying the Trustee of
any Covenant Suspension Event or the commencement of any Suspension Period and certifying that such suspension complied with the foregoing provisions. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee shall assume the Suspended Covenants apply and are in
full force and effect. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate notifying the Trustee of any occurrence of a Reversion Date. After any such notice of the occurrence of a Reversion Date, the Trustee shall assume the
Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect. 
 (e) No Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred on the
Reversion Date with respect to the Suspended Covenants as a result of any actions taken by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period. Within 30 days of such Reversion Date, the Company must comply with the terms
of Section 4.13 (“Additional Note Guarantees”). 
 (f) Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated,
the failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (including any action taken or omitted to be taken with respect thereto) or after the Suspension Period based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period
will not give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture. In addition, without causing a Default or Event of Default, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall be permitted to honor any contractual commitments with respect to
the Suspended Covenants entered into during a Suspension Period following a Reversion Date; provided that such contractual commitments were entered into during the Suspension Period and not in contemplation of a reversion of the Suspended
Covenants. 
 (g) For purposes of Section 4.18 (“Asset Sales”), on the Reversion Date, any unutilized Excess Proceeds
amount will be reset to zero.

of the properties or assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01 (“Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets”)
hereof, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made, shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from
and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the successor Person and not to the
Company), and may exercise every right and power of the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as Company herein; provided, however, that the predecessor Company shall not be
relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes except in the case of a sale of all of the Company’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ assets in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the
provisions of, Section 5.01 (“Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets”) hereof.

Section 6.02 Acceleration. 
 In the
case of an Event of Default specified in clause (10) or (11) of Section 6.01 (“Events of Default”) hereof, with respect to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, all outstanding Notes will become due and
payable immediately in cash without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to
be due and payable immediately in cash. 
 Section 6.03 Other Remedies. 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any remedy available pursuant to applicable law to collect the payment
of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay
or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf
of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes
(including in connection with a redemption or an offer to purchase right of Holders pursuant to Article 3); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an
acceleration and its consequences, including any related Payment Default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for
every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.05 Control by Majority. 

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be
unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the Trustee in 

  
 60 







 
personal liability and the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. The Trustee may also withhold from Holders of the Notes
notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, interest or premium. 

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. 

In case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under
this Indenture at the request or direction of any Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of
principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 

(1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing; 

(2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue
the remedy; 
 (3) such Holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any
loss, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the
request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (5) Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. 
 A Holder of a Note may
not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note. 

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if
any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be
impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry
of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien. 

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee or Noteholder Collateral Agent. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) (“Events of Default”) hereof occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee or the Noteholder Collateral Agent may recover judgment (a) in its own name and (b)(1) in the case of the Trustee, as Trustee of an express trust or (2) in the case of the Noteholder Collateral Agent, as collateral agent on behalf
of the Holders, in each case against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as
shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Noteholder Collateral Agent and their respective agents, advisors and counsel. 

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee shall be authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have
the claims of the Trustee or the Noteholder Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Noteholder Collateral Agent and their respective agents, advisors and
counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the 

  
 61 







 
Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and any custodian or trustee in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee or the Noteholder Collateral Agent, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent
to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Noteholder Collateral Agent and their respective agents, advisors and
counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or the Noteholder Collateral Agent under the Collateral Agreements and Section 7.07 (“Compensation and Indemnity”) hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents, advisors and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 (“Compensation and Indemnity”) hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be
denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether
in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee or the Noteholder Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

Section 6.10 Priorities. 
 Subject to
the terms of, and the relative priorities and related rights set forth in, the Intercreditor Agreements, if the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order: 

First: to the Trustee, the Noteholder Collateral Agent, the Paying Agent and the Registrar for amounts due under
Section 7.07 (“Compensation and Indemnity”) hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee or the Noteholder Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and the costs
and expenses of collection (including reasonable fees and expenses of their respective agents, advisors and counsel; 

Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably,
without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any and interest, respectively; and 

Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section. 

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee or the Noteholder Collateral
Agent, as the case may be, for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee or the Noteholder Collateral Agent, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and
the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This
Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee or the Noteholder Collateral Agent, as the case may be, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 (“Rights of Holders to Receive Payment”) hereof, or a suit by Holders of
more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

 Section 7.01 Duties of
Trustee. 
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in

Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel
will be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 

(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed
with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be

 (f) The
Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it against the losses, liabilities and expenses that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 

  
 63 







 (g) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

(h) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default, except failure of the Company to
cause to be made any of the payments required to be made to the Trustee, unless the a Responsible Officer shall be specifically notified by a writing of such default by the Company or by the Holders of at least 25% aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding delivered to the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and, in the absence of such notice so delivered the Trustee may conclusively assume no Default or Event of Default exists. 

(i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be
indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, including without limitation, as Noteholder Collateral Agent, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 

(j) The permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties. 

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any
Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue
as Trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA) or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 (“Eligibility; Disqualification”) and 7.11 (“Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Company”) hereof. 
 Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Collateral
Agreements, the Notes or the Collateral, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it will not
be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the
sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. 
 Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall transmit to Holders a notice of
the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs or if discovered later than 90 days, promptly after such discovery. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any
Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes. 

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes. 

(a) Within 60 days after each December 15th beginning with the December 15th following the Issue Date, and for so long as Notes
remain outstanding, the Trustee will transmit to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months
preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee will also transmit all reports as required by TIA § 313(c). 

(b) A copy of each report at the time of its transmission to the Holders will be transmitted by the Trustee to the Company and filed by the
Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange. 

  
 64 







 Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. 

(a) The Company will pay to the Trustee, Noteholder Collateral Agent, Paying Agent and Registrar (each, an “Indemnified
Party”) from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture, the Collateral Agreements and services hereunder and thereunder; provided that the compensation set forth in any written fee agreement executed
in connection herewith shall be deemed reasonable. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a Trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse each Indemnified Party promptly upon request for all
reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s agents,
advisors and counsel. 
 (b) The Company and the Guarantors will indemnify the Indemnified Party against any and all losses,
liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements, including the costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of
its counsel) of enforcing this Indenture against the Company and the Guarantors (including this Section) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The
Indemnified Party will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder or under
the Collateral Agreements. The Company or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Indemnified Party will cooperate in the defense. Each Indemnified Party may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of
such counsel if (i) the Company shall have failed to assume the defense thereof or employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, or (ii) the Trustee has been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more defenses
available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company. Neither the Company, any Guarantor nor any Indemnified Party need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld. 
 (c) The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture and the termination of the Collateral Agreements or the earlier resignation or removal of such Indemnified Party. 
 (d) To secure
the Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section, each Indemnified Party will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money, Collateral or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, or the
Noteholder Collateral Agent in its capacity as Noteholder Collateral Agent, except, in the case of the Trustee, that held in trust to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on particular Notes pursuant to Article 8 hereof. Such Lien will
survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of such Indemnified Party. 
 (e) When an
Indemnified Party incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(10) or (11) (“Events of Default”) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and
expenses of its agents, advisors and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 (f) The
Trustee will comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 
 Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. 

(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section. 
 (b) The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust
hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 (“Eligibility; Disqualification”) hereof; 

  
 65 







 (2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is
entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (3) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the
Trustee or its property; or 
 (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

(c) If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company will promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the
Company. 
 (d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(e) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10
(“Eligibility; Disqualification”) hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(f) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will transmit a notice of its succession to
Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07
(“Compensation and Indemnity”) hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 (“Compensation and Indemnity”) hereof will continue for the
benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another
corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee. As soon as practicable, the successor Trustee shall transmit a notice of its succession to the Company and the Holders. Any such successor must
nevertheless be eligible and qualified under the provisions of Section 7.10 (“Eligibility; Disqualification”) hereof. 
 Section 7.10
Eligibility; Disqualification. 
 There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate Trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 
 This Indenture will
always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310 (b). 

Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 

The Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or
been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 Section 7.12 Trustee in Other Capacities; Noteholder
Collateral Agent and Paying Agent. 
 References to the Trustee in Sections 7.01(b) and (f) (“Duties of Trustee”), 7.02
(“Rights of Trustee”), 7.03 (“Individual Rights of Trustee”), 7.04 (“Trustee’s Disclaimer”), 7.07 (“Compensation and Indemnity”), and 7.08 (“Replacement of Trustee”) shall be understood to
include the Trustee when acting in its other capacities under this 

  
 66 







 
Indenture, including, without limitation, as Paying Agent and Noteholder Collateral Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, such Sections shall be read to apply to
the Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agreements, mutatis mutandis, in addition to this Indenture. The privileges, rights, indemnities, immunities and exculpatory provisions contained in this Indenture shall apply to the Trustee,
whether it is acting under this Indenture, the other Indenture Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements. 
 ARTICLE 8 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Company may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate,
elect to have either Section 8.02 (“Legal Defeasance and Discharge”) or 8.03 (“Covenant Defeasance”) hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 (“Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance”) hereof
of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 (“Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance”) hereof, be deemed
to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose,
“Legal Defeasance” means that the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be
“outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 (“Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions”) hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses
(1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if
any, on, such Notes (including in connection with any redemption or purchase of Notes pursuant to Article 3) when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.05 (“Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in
Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions”) hereof; 
 (2) the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes under
Article 2 and Section 4.02 (“Maintenance of Office or Agency”) hereof concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and
money for security payments held in trust; 
 (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the
Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (4) this Section and Section 8.02
(“Legal Defeasance and Discharge”) of this Indenture. 
 Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its
option under this Section 8.02 (“Legal Defeasance and Discharge”) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 (“Covenant Defeasance”) hereof. 

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 (“Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance”) hereof of the
option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 (“Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance”) hereof, be released from
each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.07 (“Restricted Payments”), 4.08 (“Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock”), 4.09 (“Liens”), 4.10 (“Dividend and Other
Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries”), 4.11 (“Transactions with Affiliates”), 4.12 (“Business Activities”), 4.13 

  
 67 







 
(“Additional Note Guarantees”), 4.14 (“Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries”), 4.15 (“Payments for Consent”), 4.16 (“Reports”), 4.17
(“Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control”), 4.18 (“Asset Sales”), 4.19 (“Impairment of Security Interest”) and 4.20 (“Withholding Taxes”) hereof and clause (a)(4) of Section 5.01 (“Merger,
Consolidation, or Sale of Assets”) and Article 12 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 (“Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance”) hereof are satisfied
(hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in
connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Company and the
Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by
reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 (“Events of Default”) hereof, but,
except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 (“Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance”) hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 (“Covenant Defeasance”), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 (“Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance”)
hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(6), Section 6.01(8) and Section 6.01(9) (“Events of Default”) hereof will not constitute Events of Default. 

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 (“Legal Defeasance and Discharge”)
or 8.03 (“Covenant Defeasance”) hereof: 
 (1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for
the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, as affirmed in a writing delivered
to the Trustee by a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium on, the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the
applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular Redemption Date; 

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that (a) the
Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and
based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on
the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the
Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times
as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (4) no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under,
any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound; 

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under,
any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound; 

(6) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company
with the intent of preferring the Holders over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company or others; and 

  
 68 







 (7) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 

Section 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 

Subject to Section 8.06 (“Repayment to Company”) hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the
proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying Trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 (“Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance”) hereof in respect
of the outstanding Notes will be (i) held in trust, (ii) at the written direction of the Company, such money may be invested, prior to maturity of the Notes, in Government Securities, and (iii) applied by the Trustee, in accordance
with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become
due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable
Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 (“Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance”) hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for
the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver
or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 (“Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance”) hereof which, in the opinion
of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) (“Conditions to Legal or Covenant
Defeasance”) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

Section 8.06 Repayment to Company. 

Subject to any unclaimed property law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held
by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money or
Government Securities, and all liability of the Company as Trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; 
 provided, however, that the Trustee or
such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times or The Wall Street Journal, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 

Section 8.07 Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Sections
8.02 (“Legal Defeasance and Discharge”) or 8.03 (“Covenant Defeasance”) hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Sections 8.02 (“Legal Defeasance and
Discharge”) or 8.03 (“Covenant Defeasance”) hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Sections 8.02 (“Legal Defeasance and Discharge”) or 8.03
(“Covenant Defeasance”) hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company
will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

(5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;

(9) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions. 

In addition, the consent of Holders representing at least two-thirds of outstanding Notes will be required to release all or substantially all of the
Collateral otherwise than in accordance with this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements. 
 Section 9.03 Compliance with TIA. 

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes will be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the
TIA as then in effect. 

  
 71 







 Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a
Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a
Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms
and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the
Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only
those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. 

Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in
exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

 Section 9.06 Trustee and Noteholder Collateral Agent to Sign Amendments, etc. 

The Trustee and/or the Noteholder Collateral Agent will sign any amendment or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if
the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee and/or the Noteholder Collateral Agent. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors
of the Company approves it. In executing any amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee and/or the Noteholder Collateral Agent, as the case may be, will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 (“Duties of Trustee”)
hereof) will be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04 (“Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent”) hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and other Indenture Documents, as applicable, and that such amendment or supplemental indenture is the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Company and any Guarantors party thereto, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof. 

ARTICLE 10 
 SATISFACTION AND
DISCHARGE 
 Section 10.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. 

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, and the Trustee, upon receipt from
the Company of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture, when: 
 (1) either: 

(A) all Notes that have been authenticated (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes
for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

(B) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the sending
of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to 

  
 72 







 
be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as
will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of
maturity or redemption; 
 (2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit or
shall occur as a result of such deposit (except a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any
material instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound; 

(3) the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture and not provided for
by the deposit required by clause (1) of this Section 10.01; and 
 (4) the Company has delivered irrevocable
instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause
(B) of clause (1) of this Section, the provisions of Sections 10.02 (“Application of Trust Money”) and 8.06 (“Repayment to Company”) hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section will be deemed to discharge
those provisions of Section 7.07 (“Compensation and Indemnity”) hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

Section 10.02 Application of Trust Money. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.05 (“Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous
Provisions”) hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 (“Satisfaction and Discharge”) hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for
whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 10.01
(“Satisfaction and Discharge”) hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and
any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.01 (“Satisfaction and Discharge”) hereof; provided that if the Company
has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or
Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE 11 

NOTE GUARANTEES

jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees on a senior secured basis to the extent, with respect to security, set forth in Article 12 and the Collateral Agreements, to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to
the Trustee and the Noteholder Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral Agreements or the obligations of the Company hereunder or
thereunder, that: 
 (1) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when
due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and

promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. 

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and
severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability
of the Notes, any Collateral Agreement or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the
Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims
with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by
complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 
 (c) If any Holder, the Noteholder Collateral Agent or
the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the
Trustee, the Noteholder Collateral Agent or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect. 

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations
guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Trustee, on the other hand,
(1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect
of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the
Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee. 

(e) Each Guarantor who is or becomes an Internal Charterer by signing this Indenture or pursuant to a supplemental indenture agrees to execute
and deliver an Earnings Assignment and an Insurance Assignment. 
 Section 11.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 

(a) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note
Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law or foreign law to the
extent applicable to any Note Guarantee, and with respect to any Guarantor organized under the laws of Malaysia, the amount of the Note Obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor (and the value of any assets provided by such Guarantor as security for
the Note Obligations) shall be in, but not in excess of, the maximum amount permitted by any Legal Requirement applicable to such Guarantor, including, but not limited to, the Malaysian Financial Services Act of 2013, as amended, and any rules,
regulations, or rulings promulgated by Bank Negara Malaysia (or any successor central bank of Malaysia). To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such
Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of each such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections
from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 11 to the extent relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of such
Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a 

  
 74 







 
fraudulent transfer or conveyance or being otherwise unenforceable under relevant law, and the amount of the Note Obligations guaranteed by a Guarantor organized under the laws of Malaysia (and
the value of any assets provided by such Guarantor as security for such Note Obligations) shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not violate any Legal Requirement applicable to such Guarantor, including, but
not limited to, the Malaysian Financial Services Act of 2013, as amended, and any rules, regulations, or rulings promulgated by Bank Negara Malaysia (or any successor central bank of Malaysia).

Indenture Document to which it is a party shall, in all circumstances, be limited to an amount equal to the Polish Limitation Amount.

 In the event that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries creates or
acquires any Subsidiary after the Issue Date, if required by Section 4.13 (“Additional Note Guarantees”) hereof, the Company will cause such Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.13 (“Additional Note

Minority Interest Holder shall explicitly acknowledge to the Noteholder Collateral Agent that the Vessel Minority Interest Holder takes such interest subject to the relevant Ship Mortgage; and

distributions due and owing and made in respect of such Vessel; provided that this clause (iii) shall be subject to the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) and shall not modify or limit the application of any provision

 80

will be required to be deposited in a deposit account controlled by the Company and held as Collateral subject to the Liens pending its application or use in compliance with Section 4.18 (“Asset Sales”) and, from such deposit account,
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may withdraw funds to deploy the proceeds of an Asset Sale in compliance with Section 4.18 (“Asset Sales”); and (b) to the extent that any disposition in such Asset Sale was of Collateral,
the non-cash consideration received is pledged as Collateral under the Collateral Agreements substantially simultaneously with such sale, in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements; 

(3) upon legal or covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Notes as provided in Sections 8.02, (“Legal

(5) with respect to any assignment of rights under the respective terminated Internal Charter only, upon the occurrence of an
Internal Charter Unwind Trigger; 
 (6) if any Guarantor is released from its Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of
this Indenture (including by virtue of such Guarantor ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary), that Guarantor’s assets will also be released from the Liens securing its Note Guarantee and the other Obligations; or 

(7) as provided in the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. 

(b) In addition to the foregoing, the Company and the Guarantors will comply with the provisions of TIA § 314. To the extent
applicable, the Company and the Guarantors will comply with TIA § 314(d), relating to the release of property or securities or relating to the substitution therefor of any property or securities to be subjected to the Lien of the security
documents. Any certificate or opinion required by TIA § 314(d) may be made by an Officer of the Company except in cases where TIA § 314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent Person, which Person will be an
independent engineer, appraiser or other expert selected by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, the Company will not be required to comply with all or any portion of TIA § 314(d) if it determines,
in good faith based on advice of counsel, that under the terms of TIA § 314(d) and/or any interpretation or guidance as to the meaning thereof of the SEC, including “no action” letters or exemptive orders, all or any portion of TIA
§ 314(d) is inapplicable to one or a series of released Collateral. 
 (c) With respect to any release of Collateral, except as
otherwise provided in the Intercreditor Agreements, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements to such release have been met,
and any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, the Noteholder Collateral Agent shall, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, execute, deliver or
acknowledge such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements, including the Intercreditor Agreements. Neither the Trustee nor the Noteholder
Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel, and the Trustee and the Noteholder Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to release any such
Lien and security interest, or execute and deliver any such instrument of release, satisfaction or termination, unless and until (i) it receives such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel or (ii) the Intercreditor Agreements
expressly provides for automatic release of Collateral under this Indenture. 
 (d) For the purposes of the TIA or otherwise under the
Indenture, the release of any Collateral from the terms of the Collateral Agreements shall not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent the Collateral is released pursuant
to this Indenture, the Collateral Agreements or the Credit Agreement Collateral Agreements. 
 Section 12.04 Form and Sufficiency of Release.

 In the event that the Company or any Guarantor has sold, exchanged, or otherwise disposed of or proposes to sell, exchange or otherwise
dispose of any portion of the Collateral that may be sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of by the Company or any Guarantor to any Person other than the Company or a Guarantor, and the Company or any


  
 81 







 
Guarantor requests in writing that the Noteholder Collateral Agent furnish a written disclaimer, release or quit-claim of any interest in such property under this Indenture and the Collateral
Agreements, the Noteholder Collateral Agent shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company or such Guarantor (in proper form prepared by the Company or such Guarantor) such an instrument without representation or warranty promptly after
satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein for delivery of any such release. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, all purchasers and grantees of any property or rights purporting to be released herefrom shall be entitled to rely upon any
release executed by the Noteholder Collateral Agent hereunder as sufficient for the purpose of this Indenture and as constituting a good and valid release of the property therein described from the Lien of this Indenture or of the Collateral
Agreements. 
 Section 12.05 Authorization of Actions to be Taken by the Noteholder Collateral Agent Under the Collateral Agreements. 

Subject to the provisions of the applicable Collateral Agreements and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Trustee and each Holder, by
acceptance of any Notes, agrees that (a) the Noteholder Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreements, the Collateral Agreements, and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance
with the terms thereof, (b) the Noteholder Collateral Agent shall, at the written direction of Holders of at least 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class, take all actions as directed in order
to (i) enforce any of the terms of the Collateral Agreements and the Intercreditor Agreements and (ii) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations and other Note Obligations of the Company and the
Guarantors hereunder and under the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Intercreditor Agreements, the Collateral Agreements and the other Indenture Documents and (c) the Noteholder Collateral Agent shall have power to institute and to maintain such
suits and proceedings as Holders of at least 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may instruct it in writing to take to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any act that may be unlawful or
in violation of the Collateral Agreements or this Indenture, and suits and proceedings as the Holders may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Trustee and the Holders or any other Second Lien Secured Party in
the Collateral (including the power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if
the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security interest thereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholder Collateral Agent, the Holders, the Trustee or any other Second Lien Secured
Party). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time the Noteholder Collateral Agent may, at the expense of the Company, request the direction of the Holders with respect to any such actions and upon receipt of the written consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, shall take, or instruct the Noteholder Collateral Agent in writing to take, such actions; provided that all actions so taken shall, at all times, be in conformity
with the requirements of this Indenture and the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. The Noteholder Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the rights contained in and shall be protected by the provisions contained in Article 7 of this Indenture.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements, neither the Trustee nor the Noteholder Collateral Agent shall be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing,
registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC financing or continuation
statements or similar documents or instruments), nor shall the Trustee or the Noteholder Collateral Agent be responsible for, and neither the Trustee nor the Noteholder Collateral Agent makes any representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness
or priority of any of the Collateral Agreements or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby. 
 Section 12.06
Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Collateral Agreements. 
 The Noteholder Collateral Agent is authorized to
receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the Collateral Agreements and to the extent not prohibited under the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, for turnover to the Trustee to make
further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10 (“Priorities”) and the other provisions of this Indenture. 

Section 12.07 Replacement of Noteholder Collateral Agent. 

A resignation or removal of the Noteholder Collateral Agent and appointment of a successor Noteholder Collateral Agent may be effected pursuant
to the terms of the Security Agreement.

be applied to repay, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire any Indebtedness of any Person, other than as permitted or required by this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements. 

(b) To the extent that any agreement, instrument, Mortgage or other document is required to be delivered to give effect to and perfect the

property pursuant to the Collateral Agreements to become part of the Collateral subject to the Liens and shall perfect such Liens as soon as practicable but not later than 20 Business Days or as soon as practicable where applicable local law
requires additional time for compliance with applicable legal requirements; and such Liens shall be released upon the occurrence of a Contract Unwind Trigger, provided that no assets or property have been transferred or sold, directly or
indirectly, by the Company or a Guarantor to such applicable Subsidiary that is subject to Section 4.18 (“Asset Sales”). 

(d) From and after the time the Credit Agreement and any other Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is senior to the
Lien securing the Notes, ceases to be outstanding, the Company will pledge, and will cause any of its relevant Subsidiaries to pledge, as soon as practicable, all of their Equity Interests in P.T. Vantage Drilling Company Indonesia as Collateral
subject to the Liens for the benefit of the Noteholder Collateral Agent under the applicable Collateral Agreements, and will deliver such other instruments and execute such other documents as may be reasonably required to perfect such Liens. 

  
 83

 [Back of Note] 

10% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2020 

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 

(1) INTEREST. Offshore Group Investment Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”),
promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at a rate of 10% per annum, from the Issue Date until maturity. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing
on June 30, 2016, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent Interest Payment Date or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance;
provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a Record Date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such
next succeeding Interest Payment Date. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal, premium, if any, and interest (without regard to any applicable grace period),
from time to time on demand at a rate equal to 1% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The
Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. All references to “interest” shall mean the initial interest rate borne by the Notes plus any
Default Interest. If there has been no demand that the Company pay Default Interest, the Company shall pay Default Interest, if any, in the same manner as other interest, and on the same dates as set forth in the Notes and in the Indenture dated as
of [•], 2016 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Noteholder Collateral Agent. 

(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close
of business on June 15 or December 15 immediately preceding the next Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date. The Notes will be payable as to principal,
premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of
Holders; provided that (1) payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire
transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent and (2) such payment by check may only be paid so long as no event of default under the Indenture is continuing. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The principal of the Notes shall be payable only upon surrender of any Note at the specified offices of the Paying Agent. If the due date for payment of the
principal in respect of any Note is not a Business Day at the place in which it is presented for payment, the Holder thereof shall not be entitled to payment of the amount due until the next succeeding Business Day at such place. 

(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as
Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity; provided that no Event of Default is continuing. 






 (4) INDENTURE AND COLLATERAL AGREEMENTS. The terms of the Notes include
those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such
terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the Indenture, the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder. Holders are entitled to
the benefits of the Collateral Agreements. 
 Each Guarantor (which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture)
has, jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed, to the extent set forth in, and subject to, the Indenture (a) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes, whether at maturity, by
acceleration, redemption or otherwise, the due and punctual payment of interest on overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and the due and punctual performance of all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the
Trustee all in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in
accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. The obligations of the Guarantors to the Holders and to the Trustee pursuant to the Note Guarantees and the Indenture, and the
limitations thereon, are expressly set forth in Article 11. 
 (5) RANKING. This Note shall constitute a senior
obligation of the Company and the Obligation of the Company under the Indenture and this Note shall be secured pursuant to the Collateral Agreements. The Indenture and this Note are entered into with the benefit of and subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreements, and the rights and benefits of the Second Lien Secured Parties hereunder are limited by and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements including as to payment priority. 

(6) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 

(a) If and to the extent permitted by the Intercreditor Agreements, at any time prior to the Maturity Date of the Notes, the
Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at one time or from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date in respect of then outstanding Notes. 

(b) Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions
thereof called for redemption on the applicable Redemption Date. 
 (7) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. Subject to the terms of,
and the relative priorities and related rights set forth in the Intercreditor Agreements, the Company may be required to make a mandatory redemption pursuant to Section 3.09 (“Mandatory Redemption Upon Event of Loss of a Vessel”) of
the Indenture. 






 (8) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER. 

Subject to the terms of, and the relative priorities and related rights set forth in the Intercreditor Agreements, if a Change
of Control occurs, the Company will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to minimum amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000) of each Holder’s
Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due
on the relevant Interest Payment Date (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within ten (10) Business Days following any Change of Control or, at the Company’s option, prior to such Change of Control but after public
announcement thereof, the Company will send a notice to each Holder and the Trustee setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture. 

Subject to the terms of, and the relative priorities and related rights set forth in the Intercreditor Agreements, if the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company consummates an Asset Sale pursuant to Section 4.18 (“Asset Sales”) of the Indenture, the Company, in circumstances specified in the Indenture, may be required to commence an offer to
all Holders and all holders of Pari Passu Obligations containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets (an “Asset Sale Offer”)
pursuant to Section 3.10 (“Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds”) of the Indenture to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Obligations that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds
at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. Holders that are the
subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related Purchase Date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase”
attached to the Notes. 
 (9) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be delivered at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection
with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.

 (10) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations
of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish
appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note
selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the
period between a Record Date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date. 
 (11) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The
registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. Only Holders have rights under the Indenture and this Note. 

(12) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees and
the Collateral Agreements may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, voting as a single class, and any existing Default or Event or Default or







 
compliance with the Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Collateral Agreements may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes, voting as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Collateral Agreements may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency and
to effect certain other changes as set forth in the Indenture. 
 (13) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If any Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of
Default specified in clause (10) or (11) of Section 6.01 and of the Indenture, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except
as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of
the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or premium, if any,) if it determines that withholding notice is to their benefit. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences
under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with
the Indenture, and the Company is required, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default. 

(14) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept
deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 

(15) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, shareholder or
stockholder of the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the
Collateral Agreements or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for
issuance of the Notes. 
 (16) AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature
of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. 
 (17) ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a
Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

Restricted Security Legend, by its acceptance thereof, (A) authorizes and consents to and appoints the Company as its agent for the sole purpose of delivering such electronic messages, executing and delivering such instruments and taking such
other actions, on such holder’s behalf, as the Depository or the Trustee may require to effect and (B) upon 






 
the request of the Company, agrees to deliver such electronic messages, execute and deliver such instruments and take such other actions as the Depository or the Trustee may require, or as shall
otherwise be necessary to effect, the removal of the Restricted Security Legend set forth on the face of such Note (including by means of the exchange of all or the portion of such Restricted Security evidencing such Note for a certificate
evidencing such Note that does not bear such Restricted Security Legend) in accordance with the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws.]1 

(19) CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification
Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed
on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

(b) If the Shipowner shall fail or neglect to furnish proper security or otherwise to release such Vessel from libel, arrest, levy, seizure or
attachment within the time period required by Section 2.9(a) above, the Mortgagee or any Person acting on behalf of the Mortgagee may furnish security to release such Vessel and by so doing shall not be deemed to cure the default of the
Shipowner unless and until the Shipowner shall have reimbursed the Mortgagee from all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by the Mortgagee or such third party acting at the direction of the Mortgagee in procuring
such release, including for any security so furnished. 
 Section 2.10 (a) Except while such Vessel is undergoing repairs, maintenance

is customary with respect to the operation in the drilling industry of any vessel similar to the Vessel in the Gulf of Mexico)) and (C) in forms, in each case, which are substantially equivalent to the coverage reflecting the customary and
prudent practice of other responsible and experienced Persons of similar size and established reputation engaged in the same or similar operation of vessels similar to the Vessel and placed through brokers and with financially sound and reputable
insurance companies, underwriters, funds, mutual insurance associations, war risks and protection and indemnity risk associations or clubs of recognized standing;

Mortgagee shall be permitted to retain Willis Limited (or other independent insurance advisor of reputable standing) as Insurance Advisor (the “Insurance Advisor”) who will from to time at the request of the Mortgagee advise whether
the Shipowner’s insurances meet the requirements of this Mortgage or what additional or other insurances may be advisable from time to time to protect the interests of the Mortgagee in the Vessel, and the Mortgagee shall be entitled to rely
without further inquiry or determination and shall be fully protected in so relying on such Insurance Advisor’s advice. All fees and expenses of the Insurance Advisor shall be paid by the Shipowner. The Shipowner covenants and agrees that
neither it nor any affiliate of it will place any insurances required to be maintained by it under this Mortgage through the Insurance Advisor, provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Insurance Advisor can place on the Mortgagee’s behalf
the insurances described in Section 2.19(e). 
 (c) The insurances shall include the following terms and conditions: 

(i) while being operated, the Vessel shall always be covered against marine perils and all risks of loss or damage, including
loss, damage, fire and such other perils as are customary in the industry, in accordance with Section 2.19(a)(i) with English, American or Norwegian hull clauses with reasonable deductibles as determined by the Shipowner but in no event in

all risks covered under the rules of such association or club and with reasonable deductibles provided therein; 
 (iv) the
Vessel shall also be insured against protection and indemnity risks and liabilities, including, without limitation, the Vessel’s full tonnage and insurance against liability for pollution or the spillage or leakage of oil or other cargo by the
Vessel, unless such risk is fully covered by the entry of the Vessel into an international group protection

and indemnity association, in an aggregate amount equal to at least $500,000,000, and by the entry of the Vessel in a protection and indemnity association or club belonging to the International
Group of Protection and Indemnity Clubs (the “International Group”), but in any event shall be in an amount recommended by the Insurance Advisor in its reasonable discretion;

insurances, nor cancel the insurance for reason of non-payment of premiums for other vessels under such fleet cover or of premiums for such other insurances, and shall undertake to issue a separate policy or policies in respect of the Vessel if and
when so requested by the Mortgagee; and 
 (vi) if the Mortgagee determines solely based upon the advice of the Insurance

recommended by the Insurance Advisor.

insurance required by this Section 2.19 shall be those reasonably determined by the Insurance Advisor and recommended to the Mortgagee in writing. The Mortgagee shall have no duty or obligation to investigate or otherwise inquire into the
recommendations made by the Insurance Advisor in connection with obtaining such insurance.

defined in the Second Lien Indenture) mortgaged to the Mortgagee as security for the Secured Obligations or, if less, in an amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Secured Obligations plus all other “Secured Obligations”
as defined in each mortgage over such other “Vessels.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the insurances required under this clause shall be payable to the mortgagee under the First Mortgage until the occurrence of the Discharge of First Lien
Obligations (as defined in the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement). 
 (f) In the case of all marine and war risk hull and machinery
policies and all protection and indemnity insurances (including insurance against liability for pollution or the spillage or leakage of cargo), the Shipowner will cause the Mortgagee to be named an additional insured without liability for premiums
or calls payable under the insurances. 

  
 10 







 (g) The Shipowner will cause all policies and certificates of entry with respect to insurance
required hereby for the Vessel to contain a loss payable clause which shall be on substantially the terms set forth in Schedule I attached to the second priority Insurance Assignment (or, if such terms are not obtainable, then such terms as shall,
in the opinion of the Insurance Advisor be the best otherwise attainable), in the case of all marine and war risk hull and machinery (including excess values) policies and all protection and indemnity and liability and oil pollution liability
insurance, and which shall: (i) in the case of protection and indemnity insurance, provide for payment to the Shipowner or its order unless the payment is to indemnify the Mortgagee from or reimburse the Mortgagee for any loss, damage or
expense incurred by it or unless and until the insurers or associations receive notice from the Mortgagee that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Mortgage, in which event all payments shall be made to the Mortgagee,
provided, that the insurer may in all events make payments directly to third parties to whom liability has been established in discharge of guaranties issued by the insurer or claims against the Shipowner or insurer, and (ii) in the case of all
other insurance, provide for payment in accordance with the terms of Subsection (i) of this Section 2.19. 
 (h) In
addition, the Shipowner will, at its cost and expense, (i) assign to the Mortgagee, and will cause all Internal Charterers to assign to the Mortgagee, by the second priority Insurance Assignment, all of the Shipowner’s and, as applicable,
each Internal Charterer’s right, title and interest in and to each policy and contract of insurance (including all entries in protection and indemnity or war risk associations) with respect to the insurance required hereby and furnish, or cause
its brokers to furnish, written notice of such assignment to all insurers, underwriters, clubs and associations with respect to such insurance, and (ii) cause the insurance brokers and club managers to hold to the order of the Mortgagee the
originals of all policies, contracts, binders, insurance slips, cover notes and certificates of entry relating to the Vessel and to deliver certified copies thereof to the Mortgagee and to execute and deliver to the Mortgagee a letter of undertaking
in connection with the above mentioned insurances and entries.

the relevant loss payable clause payable directly to the Shipowner or not, shall be applied by the Shipowner in making good the loss or damage in respect of which it has been paid or paid to the Shipowner in reimbursement of moneys expended by it
for such purpose, except that any loss in excess of $15,000,000 shall be paid to the Mortgagee and held by the Mortgagee, provided that the Mortgagee shall pay out of such insurance proceeds costs and expenses in connection with the Shipowner’s
repair of the Vessel so that the Vessel is restored to the condition required by this Mortgage. Such proceeds shall be paid by the Mortgagee in the amounts and to the Persons certified from time to time by the Shipowner in one or more certificates
from a Responsible Officer of the Shipowner delivered to the Mortgagee as properly payable in connection with the repair of the Vessel; and 

(B) any claim in respect of protection and indemnity insurance shall be paid directly to the Person to which the liability
covered by such insurance was incurred or to the Shipowner in reimbursement of moneys expended by it in satisfaction of such liability. 

  
 11 







 (ii) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, any claim under
any such insurance and entry (other than in respect of an Event of Loss) shall be paid to the Mortgagee. The Mortgagee agrees to apply any such amount received in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. 

(iii) Whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred, any claim under any such insurance and entry in respect of an
Event of Loss shall be paid to the First Mortgagee for distribution under the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, and, after the First Mortgage shall have been released by the First Mortgagee, to the Mortgagee for distribution in accordance with
the terms of the Second Lien Indenture.

 Subject to the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and
subject and subordinate always to the prior rights of the First Mortgagee under the First Mortgage any loss covered by this paragraph (i) which is paid to the Mortgagee but which might have been paid, in accordance with the provisions of this
Subsection, directly to the Shipowner or others, shall be paid by the Mortgagee to or as directed by the Shipowner. The Mortgagee agrees that all payments to the Mortgagee of losses covered by this Subsection shall be applied by the Mortgagee in

(j) In the event that any claim or Lien is asserted against the Vessel for loss, damage or expense which is covered by insurance required
hereunder (other than in the event of an Event of Loss of the Vessel), and it is necessary for the Shipowner to obtain a bond or supply other security to prevent arrest of the Vessel or to release the Vessel from arrest on account of such claim or
Lien, the Mortgagee, on request of the Shipowner or its agent, shall, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, assign to any Person executing a surety or guaranty bond or other agreement to save or release the Vessel
from such arrest, all right, title and interest of the Mortgagee in and to said insurance (excluding any protection and indemnity insurance under which the Mortgagee is a named insured) covering said loss, damage or expense, as collateral security
to indemnify against liability under said bond or other agreement, which assignment shall be made in such form as the Shipowner shall instruct the Mortgagee. 

  
 12

agent thereof) with respect to all insurance required hereby to agree in writing for the benefit of the Mortgagee that each policy or contract issued by such insurance company, underwriter, club or fund shall not lapse, expire, terminate or be
cancelled for any reason whatsoever without at least seven (7) Business Days’ prior facsimile or email notice to the Mortgagee addressed as provided in Section 4.10. 

(l) The Shipowner agrees that it will not do or permit or willingly allow to be done any act by which any insurance or entry required by this
Section 2.19 may be suspended, impaired or cancelled, and that it will not permit or allow the Vessel to undertake any voyage, or perform any drilling contract, or run any risk or transport any cargo which may not be permitted by the

Gulf of Mexico. 
 (m) The Shipowner will not cause or permit the Vessel to operate in or undertake a voyage to or to sail in any area which
has been declared a war area by the relevant underwriters and insurance companies and has been included in the list of exclusions from time to time in effect attached to the war risks insurance policies in the form of the war risks trading
warranties, without first notifying thereof the Mortgagee and the war risks underwriters of the Vessel and paying any additional insurance premiums required. The Shipowner agrees that it will promptly furnish to the Mortgagee evidence of payment of
such additional premiums. 
 (n) The Shipowner will comply with and satisfy in all material respects all of the provisions of any applicable
Legal Requirement, convention, regulation, proclamation or order concerning financial responsibility for liabilities imposed on the Shipowner or the Vessel with respect to pollution by any state or nation or political subdivision thereof and will
maintain all certificates or other evidence of financial responsibility as may be required by any such Legal Requirement, convention, regulation, proclamation or order with respect to the trade which the Vessel is from time to time engaged in and

 (o) Any insurance placed through a “captive” insurer, or an unrated local insurer through which all or
a part of the insurance is required to be placed under the local Legal Requirements of the jurisdiction in which the Vessel may be located from time to time, or cover reinsured will be in form and substance recommended by the Insurance Advisor in
its reasonable discretion and in any event such insurance will: 
 (i) be on the same terms as the original insurances and
will include the provisions of this Section 2.19 (including but not limited to an assignment of such insurances or reinsurances to the Mortgagee as set forth in Section 2.19(h) of this Mortgage); 

  
 13 







 (ii) provide that notwithstanding any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation,
dissolution or similar proceedings of or affecting the reinsured that the reinsurers’ liability will be to make such payments as would have fallen due under the relevant policy of reinsurance if the reinsured had (immediately before such
bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceedings) discharged its obligations in full under the original insurance policies in respect of which the then relevant policy of reinsurance has been effected; and 

(iii) contain a “cut-through” clause in the following form (or a form otherwise recommended by the Insurance Advisor
in its reasonable discretion): 
 “It is hereby declared and agreed that if [ ● ], a
[ ● ] (“[ ● ]”), as Insurer (or any successor to [●] as insurer) under the insurance policy (the “Policy”) between
[ ● ], as Insurer, and [ ● ] and U.S. Bank National Association, as Mortgagee, as Assured, fails for any reason to pay in full all or any portion of any losses payable in
respect of the insured vessel (the “Vessel”) under the Policy, or in any event upon written notice by the said Assureds of an Event of Default under the Mortgage, then all such losses (or such portion thereof) shall be paid directly
by the reinsurers (collectively, the “Reinsurers”) identified from time to time under any and all reinsurance agreements (the “Reinsurance Agreements”) providing for reinsurance under the Policy with respect to the
Vessel to such Assureds, as the respective interests of the Assureds may appear under the Policy, but only for the proportions subscribed by the Reinsurers and provided that the Reinsurers have not already made payment in full for their proportion
in accordance with the terms of the Reinsurance Agreements and the Policy.” 
 (p) At all times during which the Vessel is operating
within the jurisdiction of the United States of America, the Shipowner shall maintain with respect to the Vessel: 
 (i)
insurance or post bonds or maintain approved evidence of financial responsibility (including, without limitation, qualification as a “qualified self-insurer” by the United States Coast Guard) with respect to the Vessel to cover the actual

(33 U.S.C. § 2701 et seq.), as amended, or the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, as amended, or under any other applicable Legal Requirement, including, without limitation, any Environmental Law, of any Governmental Authority that, now or in
the future, may apply to the Shipowner or the Mortgagee, the Vessel or its operations; and 
 (ii) such worker’s
compensation or longshoremen’s and harbor workers’ insurance as shall be required by applicable Legal Requirements, including endorsements for foreign and outer continental shelf operations, borrowed servant, voluntary compensation and

the Mortgagee, certified true copies of all original class records held by the Classification Society relating to the Vessel; 
 (b) to
allow the Mortgagee (or its agents), at any time and from time to time if an Event of Default (in the sole opinion of the Mortgagee) has occurred and is continuing, to inspect the original class and related records of the Shipowner and the Vessel at
the offices of the Classification Society and to take copies of them; and 
 (c) following receipt of a written request from the Mortgagee:

 (i) to advise of any facts or matters which may result in or have resulted in a change, suspension, discontinuance,
withdrawal or expiry of the Vessel’s class under the rules or terms and conditions of the Classification Society; 

(ii) to confirm that the Shipowner is not in default of any of its contractual obligations or liabilities to the Classification
Society and, without limiting the foregoing, that it has paid in full all fees or other charges due and payable to the Classification Society; 

(iii) if the Shipowner is in default of any of its contractual obligations or liabilities to the Classification Society, to
specify to the Mortgagee in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances of such default, the consequences thereof, and any remedy period agreed or allowed by the Classification Society; and 

(iv) to notify the Mortgagee immediately in writing if the Classification Society receives notification from the Shipowner or
any other Person that the Vessel’s Classification Society is to be changed. 
 Notwithstanding the above instructions and undertaking
given for the benefit of the Mortgagee, the Shipowner shall continue to be responsible to the Classification Society for the performance and discharge of all its obligations and liabilities relating to or arising out of or in connection with the
contract it has with the Classification Society, and nothing herein or therein shall be construed as imposing any obligation or liability of the Mortgagee to the Classification Society in respect thereof. 

The Shipowner shall further notify the Classification Society that all the foregoing instructions and authorizations shall remain in full
force and effect until revoked or modified by written notice to the Classification Society received from the Mortgagee, and that the Shipowner shall reimburse the Classification Society for all its costs and expenses incurred in complying with the
foregoing instructions.

 Section 3.2 Any sale of the Vessel or any interest therein made by the Mortgagee after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to this Mortgage, whether under the power of sale hereby granted or any judicial proceedings, shall operate to divest all right, title and interest of any nature whatsoever of the
Shipowner in and to the Vessel or such interest therein sold, as the case may be, and shall bar any claim from the Shipowner, its successors and assigns, and all Persons claiming by, through or under them. No purchaser shall be bound to inquire
whether notice has been given, or whether any default has occurred, or as to the propriety of the sale, or as to the application of the proceeds thereof. In the case of any such sale, subject and subordinate always to the prior rights of the First
Mortgagee under the First Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall apply such proceeds in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. At any such sale, the Mortgagee may bid for and purchase such property and upon compliance with the

vested with full irrevocable power and authority to make, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, in the name and on behalf of the Shipowner, a good conveyance of the title to the Vessel so sold. In the event of any
sale of the Vessel under any power herein contained, the Shipowner will, if and when required by the Mortgagee, execute such form of conveyance of such Vessel and other related documents as the Mortgagee may specify. The powers and authority granted

far as may be permitted by law, all freights, hire, earnings, issues, revenues, income and profits of the Vessel and all amounts due from underwriters under any insurance thereon as payments of losses or as return premiums or otherwise, salvage
awards and recoveries of the Vessel, recoveries in general average or otherwise in respect of the Vessel, and all other sums in respect of the Vessel, due or to become due at the time of the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of
Default, or in respect of any insurance thereon, from any Person whomsoever, and to make, give and execute in the name of the Shipowner acquittances, receipts, releases or other discharges for the same, whether under seal or otherwise, and to
endorse and accept in the name of the Shipowner all checks, notes, drafts, warrants, agreements and other instruments in writing with respect to the foregoing. The powers and authority granted to the Mortgagee herein have been given for a valuable
consideration and are hereby declared to be irrevocable. 
 Section 3.5 Whenever any right to enter and take possession of the Vessel
accrues to the Mortgagee, it may require the Shipowner to deliver, and the Shipowner shall on demand, at its own cost and expense, deliver to the Mortgagee such Vessel as demanded. If any legal proceedings shall be taken to enforce any right of

operation thereof. 
 Section 3.6 Subject and subordinate always to the prior rights of the First Mortgagee under the First Mortgage,
the Shipowner authorizes and empowers the Mortgagee or its appointees or any of them to, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, appear in the name of the Shipowner, its successors and assigns, in any court of any
country or nation of the world where a suit is pending against the Vessel because of or on account of an alleged lien against such Vessel from which such Vessel has not been released and to take such proceedings as to them or any of them may deem
necessary towards the defense of such suit and the purchase or discharge of such lien, and all expenditures made or incurred by them or any of them for the purpose of such defense or purchase or discharge shall be a debt due from the Shipowner, its
successors and assigns, to the Mortgagee, and shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage in like manner and extent as if the amount and description thereof were written herein. 

Section 3.7 Subject and subordinate always to the prior rights of the First Mortgagee under the First Mortgage, the Shipowner covenants
that at any time that any Secured Obligations shall be due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise), the same shall be paid in accordance with the Second Lien Indenture and any other Second Lien Note Documents, as applicable; and in case
the Shipowner fails to pay or cause to be paid the same when due in accordance with the Second Lien Indenture, the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, and such other Second Lien Note Documents as applicable, and that failure constitutes an Event of


  
 18 







 
Default thereunder, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to recover judgment for the whole amount so due and unpaid, together with such further amounts as shall be provided by the Notes and such other
Second Lien Note Documents, as applicable, and any applicable Legal Requirement. All moneys collected by the Mortgagee under this Section 3.7 shall be applied by the Mortgagee in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Indenture and
any other Second Lien Note Document. 
 Section 3.8 Each and every power and remedy herein given to the Mortgagee shall be cumulative
and shall be in addition to every other power and remedy herein given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, in admiralty, by statute or under the Second Lien Indenture or any other Second Lien Note Document or other agreement, and each and
every power and remedy whether herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy
by the Mortgagee shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other power or remedy. No delay or omission by the Mortgagee in the exercise of any right or power or in the pursuance of any remedy
accruing upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any such right, power or remedy; nor shall the acceptance by the Mortgagee of any security
or of any payment of or on account of the Secured Obligations be construed to be a waiver of any right that the Mortgagee may have hereunder after the occurrence and during the continuance of such Event of Default or any other Event of Default,
including any subsequent Event of Default of the same or a different nature. Despite anything contained herein to the contrary, this Mortgage is subject and subordinate always to the First Mortgage and all provisions hereof shall be construed
accordingly, and the rights and powers granted to the Mortgagee herein are subordinate to the corresponding rights and powers granted to the First Mortgagee under the First Mortgage and may not be exercised in such a manner as to impair or prejudice
such rights and powers under the First Mortgage. Further, despite anything contained herein to the contrary, so long as the First Mortgage is outstanding, the Mortgagee may exercise the remedies or powers expressed herein only under the conditions
set forth in the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. 
 Section 3.9 If at any time prior to any sale of or consummation of foreclosure
proceedings on the Vessel by the Mortgagee after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default in accordance herewith, the Shipowner offers to cure such Event of Default and to pay all expenses, advances, fees and damages to the
Mortgagee arising from such Event of Default to the extent provided for in the Second Lien Indenture or any other Second Lien Note Documents, including all costs and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee upon the exercise by the Mortgagee of its rights
hereunder as a result of such Event of Default, then the Mortgagee may, but shall be under no obligation to, accept such offer, cure and payment and restore the Shipowner to its former position, but such action shall not affect any rights which the
Mortgagee may have hereunder after the occurrence and during the continuance of any subsequent Event of Default or impair any rights consequent thereon. 

Section 3.10 In case the Mortgagee shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry
or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Mortgagee, then and in every such case the Shipowner and the Mortgagee shall be restored to


  
 19 







 
their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the property subject or intended to be subject to this Mortgage, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Mortgagee shall continue as
if no such proceedings had been taken. 
 Section 3.11 Subject to the prior rights of the First Mortgagee under the First Mortgage and
to the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, unless otherwise specified herein or in the Second Lien Indenture, any cash proceeds received by the Mortgagee from the sale of, collection of, or other realization upon any part of the Vessel
or related collateral or any other amounts received by the Mortgagee hereunder, including the net earnings of any charter operation or other use of the Vessel by the Mortgagee under any of the powers specified in Article I and/or Article
II shall be applied to the Secured Obligations. Amounts applied to the Secured Obligations shall be applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in and in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Indenture.
Any surplus cash collateral or cash proceeds held by the Mortgagee after payment in full of the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the Shipowner or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. 

Section 3.12 Unless and until one or more Events of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Shipowner (a) shall be suffered and
permitted to retain actual possession and use of the Vessel and (b) shall have the right, from time to time, in its discretion, and without application to the Mortgagee, and without obtaining a release thereof by the Mortgagee, to dispose of,
free from the lien hereof, any boilers, engines, generators, drilling machinery and equipment, pumps and pumping equipment, machinery, masts, spars, sails, rigging, boats, anchors, cables, chains, tackle, outfit, apparel, furniture, fittings,
equipment, spares, fuel, stores or any other appurtenances of the Vessel, provided such item of property is replaced and such Vessel is maintained in the condition required herein, and such replacement item, if any, shall forthwith become subject to
the lien of this Mortgage as a second naval mortgage thereon. 
 Section 3.13 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Mortgage, the amount of any Secured Obligations that are secured by the Shipowner’s rights in the Vessel or any related collateral or subject to a Lien in favor of the Mortgagee hereunder or under any other Second Lien Note Document shall be
limited to the extent, if any, required so that the Liens granted under this Mortgage shall not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any comparable provision of any other applicable Legal
Requirement or to being set aside or annulled under any applicable Legal Requirement relating to fraud on creditors. In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any Secured Obligations that are subject to the Lien on the Vessel and
related collateral hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation or contribution which the Shipowner may have under any Second Lien Note Document, any other agreement or
applicable Legal Requirement shall be taken into account.

“NOTICE OF MORTGAGE 
 This Vessel is subject
to a Second Priority Ship Mortgage to U.S. Bank National Association, as the Mortgagee. Under the terms of said Mortgage, neither the Shipowner, any charterer, the master of this Vessel nor any other Person has any right, power or authority to

 5 







 
Covenants, the First Mortgage and other Permitted Liens to be discharged (except to the extent that the claim giving rise to such lien shall concurrently be contested by the Shipowner in good
faith by appropriate proceedings that shall not affect the release of such Vessel) and will promptly notify the Mortgagee thereof in the manner aforesaid. 

(b) If the Shipowner shall fail or neglect to furnish proper security or otherwise to release such Vessel from libel, arrest, levy, seizure or
attachment within the time period required by Section 2.9(a) above, the Mortgagee or any Person acting on behalf of the Mortgagee may furnish security to release such Vessel and by so doing shall not be deemed to cure the default of the
Shipowner unless and until the Shipowner shall have reimbursed the Mortgagee from all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by the Mortgagee or such third party acting at the direction of the Mortgagee in procuring
such release, including for any security so furnished. 
 Section 2.10 (a) Except while such Vessel is undergoing repairs, maintenance
or is in lay up, the Shipowner will at all times and without cost or expense to the Mortgagee maintain and preserve, or cause to be maintained and preserved, the Vessel (i) in good running order and repair so that the Vessel shall be tight,
staunch, strong and well and sufficiently tackled, apparelled, furnished, equipped and in every respect seaworthy and (ii) in at least as good a working order and condition as when this Deed of Covenants was executed, ordinary wear and tear
excepted; and will keep the Vessel, or cause her to be kept, in such condition as will entitle her to such classification rating with a Classification Society that companies engaged in the operation of vessels of the same type, size, age and flag as
the Vessel maintain respecting their vessels with such Classification Society. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Vessel is affected by any loss or damage or any condemnation or taking of such Vessel or a portion or component thereof, the
Shipowner shall make all necessary repairs and replacements to the Vessel, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to materially change the value or usefulness of the Vessel. The Shipowner will furnish the Mortgagee on the
date hereof and annually thereafter a certificate issued by such Classification Society evidencing that such classification is maintained. The Shipowner will not change the Classification Society. 

(b) The Mortgagee shall have the right at any time, upon reasonable notice, to inspect or survey the Vessel to ascertain its condition and to
satisfy itself that the Vessel is being properly repaired and maintained, and the Shipowner shall cause to be made all such repairs, without expense to the Mortgagee, as such inspection or survey may show to be required to maintain the
classification of the Vessel required under this Section 2.10. The Shipowner shall also permit the Mortgagee to inspect the Vessel’s logs, whenever requested, upon reasonable notice, and shall promptly furnish the Mortgagee with
full information regarding any casualties or other accidents or damage to the Vessel involving an amount in excess of $1,000,000. 

Section 2.11 (a) The Vessel shall, and the Shipowner covenants that it will, at all times comply with all applicable Legal Requirements,
and the Vessel shall have on board as and when required thereby certificates showing compliance therewith. 
 (b) The Shipowner will not
make, or permit to be made, any change in the structure or type of the Vessel or change in the rig of the Vessel, if any such change could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the value of the Vessel. 

  
 6 







 (c) The Shipowner may, in the ordinary course of maintenance, repair or overhaul of the Vessel,
remove any item of property constituting a part of such Vessel, provided such item of property is replaced to the extent necessary to maintain such Vessel in the condition required herein. Any such replacement item of property shall, without
necessity of further act hereunder, become part of such Vessel and subject to the Mortgage and this Deed of Covenants. 
 (d) The Shipowner
agrees to give the Mortgagee at least ten (10) days prior written notice (or notice of such shorter period as the Mortgagee may agree) of the actual date and place of any scheduled drydocking or survey and three (3) days’ notice (or
notice of such shorter period as the Mortgagee may agree) of the actual date and place of any unscheduled drydocking or survey in order that the Mortgagee may have representatives present if desired. The Shipowner agrees that it will provide
evidence to the Mortgagee that the expense of such drydocking or survey or work to be done thereat is within the Shipowner’s financial ability and will not result in a claim or Lien (other than Permitted Liens) against the Vessel in violation
of the provisions of this Deed of Covenants. 
 Section 2.12 The Shipowner will at all reasonable times afford the Mortgagee or its
authorized representatives full and complete access to the Vessel for the purpose of inspecting the Vessel and its cargo and papers and, at the request of the Mortgagee, the Shipowner will deliver for inspection copies of all material contracts and
documents relating to the Vessel, whether on board or not. 
 Section 2.13 The Shipowner will remain the registered owner of the
Vessel. Without giving at least 60 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Mortgagee, the Shipowner will not change the name, official or patent number, the home port or class of the Vessel. The Shipowner will not change the flag of the
Vessel. 
 Section 2.14 The Shipowner will not sell, mortgage or transfer the Vessel except in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the Second Lien Note Documents. The Shipowner will not charter the Vessel on a demise or bareboat basis to any Person who is not an Internal Charterer (except pursuant to a Permitted Third Party Charter); provided, that to the extent
the Shipowner so demises or bareboat charters the Vessel to an Internal Charterer pursuant to an Internal Charter, it will: (a) cause such Internal Charterer to become a Guarantor and to execute the appropriate Second Lien Note Documents
(including, but not limited to, a second priority Insurance Assignment) required to be executed by Guarantors in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Indenture, and (b) cause the Internal Charterer to execute and deliver a second
priority Earnings Assignment in favor of the Mortgagee respecting any earnings of the Vessel payable to the Internal Charterer. The Shipowner will cause all freights, hires or other earnings of the Vessel payable to it or to any Internal Charterer
to be paid to an Earnings Account in accordance with the terms of the Earnings Assignment respecting the Vessel given by the Shipowner. Any Earnings Assignment shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. 

Section 2.15 The Shipowner agrees that, if the Shipowner fails to perform covenants or obligations under this Deed of Covenants,
including, without limitation, its obligations with respect to insurance, the discharging of Liens, taxes, dues, assessments, governmental charges, fines, penalties lawfully imposed, repairs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and other obligations
that are not Permitted Liens, the Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, perform the 

  
 7 







 
Shipowner’s obligations under this Deed of Covenants, and any reasonable expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in performing the Shipowner’s obligations shall be paid by the Shipowner
within 10 Business Days of demand. Any such performance by the Mortgagee may be made by the Mortgagee in reasonable reliance on any statement, invoice or claim, without inquiry into the validity or accuracy thereof. The amount and nature of any
expense of the Mortgagee hereunder shall be conclusively established by a certificate of any officer of the Mortgagee absent manifest error, and such amount shall be included in the Secured Obligations, secured by the Mortgage and this Deed of
Covenants. 
 Section 2.16 The Shipowner will fully perform, and cause any Internal Charterer or charterer under a Permitted Third
Party Charter, respectively, to fully perform, (a) any Internal Charter of the Vessel between the Shipowner and the Internal Charterer, (b) any Permitted Third Party Charter, and (c) all Drilling Contracts or other contracts which may
be entered into with respect to the Vessel. 
 Section 2.17 In the event that at any time and from time to time this Deed of Covenants
or any provisions hereof shall be deemed invalidated in whole or in part by reason of any present or future Legal Requirements or any decision of any Governmental Authority, then the Shipowner, forthwith will execute such other and further
assurances and documents as are reasonably necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Deed of Covenants. 
 Section 2.18 Subject and
subordinate always to the prior rights of the First Mortgagee under the First Mortgage, in the event of the requisition of the Vessel by any Governmental Authority or by anyone else, in each case provided such action does not constitute an Event of
Loss (as hereinafter defined), the Shipowner will give prompt written notice thereof to the Mortgagee, and any payments in respect thereof shall be paid to the Shipowner, and the Shipowner shall cause any such payment to be applied to the Secured
Obligations to the extent required, and in accordance with, the terms of the Second Lien Indenture and the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement as applicable. 

Section 2.19 (a) Subject and subordinate always to the prior rights of the First Mortgagee under the First Mortgage and any first
priority assignment of insurance in favor of the First Mortgagee, the Shipowner will at all times and at its own cost and expense (and the Shipowner represents and warrants that all insurance carried and maintained in respect of the Vessel meets,
and as long as the Mortgage is effective will continue to meet, the standards set forth in Section 2.19(a)(i) below): 

(i) cause to be carried and maintained in respect of the Vessel insurance (A) payable in Dollars in amounts (and with
co-insurance and deductibles), (B) against all risks (including, without limitation, marine hull and machinery (including excess value) insurance, protection and indemnity insurance, drilling, towage, confiscation, expropriation, loss of hire,
war and terrorist risks, liability arising out of pollution and the spillage or leakage of cargo and cargo liability insurance (with named windstorm coverage exclusions in the Gulf of Mexico unless the Insurance Advisor advises that such named
windstorm coverage is available in the Gulf of Mexico on a commercially reasonable basis and is customary with respect to the operation in the drilling industry of any vessel similar to the Vessel in the Gulf of Mexico)) and (C) in forms, in
each case, 

  
 8 







 
which are substantially equivalent to the coverage reflecting the customary and prudent practice of other responsible and experienced Persons of similar size and established reputation engaged in
the same or similar operation of vessels similar to the Vessel and placed through brokers and with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, underwriters, funds, mutual insurance associations, war risks and protection and indemnity risk
associations or clubs of recognized standing; 
 (ii) renew all such insurances as they expire and so as to ensure that there
is no gap in coverage, keep the Mortgagee advised of the progress of such renewals, and provide evidence of such renewal in writing to the Mortgagee within seven days of renewal; 

(iii) punctually pay all premiums, calls, contributions or other sums payable in respect of the insurances and produce all
relevant receipts when so required by the Mortgagee, and all insurances shall provide that there shall be no recourse against the Mortgagee for unpaid premiums, club calls, assessments or advances; 

(iv) cause each insurance company, underwriter, club or fund (or an authorized agent thereof) to agree in writing to mark their
records and to advise the Mortgagee at least seven (7) business days prior to the lapse of each policy or contract issued by such insurance company, underwriter, club or fund by expiration, termination, failure to renew or otherwise for any
reason whatsoever and of any default in payment of any premium in respect of any insurances with respect to the Vessel. The Mortgagee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any such lapse of insurance in the absence of receipt of notice from such
brokers or insurance company. If such insurances are not maintained in full force and effect, then the Mortgagee, at its option, may procure such insurance at the Shipowner’s expense; 

(v) deliver to the Mortgagee copies of all cover notes, binders, policies and certificates of entry in protection and indemnity
associations, and all endorsements and riders amendatory thereof, in respect of the insurances maintained in connection with the Vessel; 

(vi) cause the insurances to provide for a deductible amount not in excess of $5,000,000 per occurrence; 

(vii) provide to the Mortgagee promptly after receiving them copies of any communications relating to (A) non-payment of
premiums and cancellation of the insurances and (B) the imposition of any exclusion or qualification or other material modification of the insurances; and 

(viii) do all things necessary and provide all documents, evidence and information within its power which may be necessary to
enable the Mortgagee to collect or recover any moneys which may at any time become due in respect of the insurances. 
 (b) As long as the
Second Lien Indenture remains in effect and has not been terminated, the Mortgagee shall be permitted to retain Willis Limited (or other independent insurance advisor of reputable standing) as Insurance Advisor (the “Insurance
Advisor”) who 

  
 9 







 
will from to time at the request of the Mortgagee advise whether the Shipowner’s insurances meet the requirements of this Deed of Covenants or what additional or other insurances may be
advisable from time to time to protect the interests of the Mortgagee in the Vessel, and the Mortgagee shall be entitled to rely without further inquiry or determination and shall be fully protected in so relying on such Insurance Advisor’s
advice. All fees and expenses of the Insurance Advisor shall be paid by the Shipowner. The Shipowner covenants and agrees that neither it nor any affiliate of it will place any insurances required to be maintained by it under this Deed of Covenants
through the Insurance Advisor, provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Insurance Advisor can place on the Mortgagee’s behalf the insurances described in Section 2.19(e). 

(c) The insurances shall include the following terms and conditions: 

(i) while being operated, the Vessel shall always be covered against marine perils and all risks of loss or damage, including
loss, damage, fire and such other perils as are customary in the industry, in accordance with Section 2.19(a)(i) with English, American or Norwegian hull clauses with reasonable deductibles as determined by the Shipowner but in no event in
excess of $5,000,000. When and while the Vessel is laid up, in lieu of the aforesaid hull insurance, port risk insurance may be taken out thereon by the Shipowner under forms of policies recommended by the Insurance Advisor in its reasonable
discretion for the Vessel; 
 (ii) for the purposes of insurance against Event of Loss, the Vessel and its equipment and
appurtenances shall be insured for and valued (for the avoidance of doubt being an agreed/assessed value as between the assured and the insurers) in accordance with Section 2.19(a)(i); 

(iii) the Vessel shall be covered against war and terrorist risks (including risks, whether or not regarded as war risks,
excluded by the “Free of Capture and Seizure” clauses in the standard form of marine policy) in accordance with English, American or Norwegian clauses and incorporating protection and indemnity clauses and with crew war risk insurance
being effected separately, and the Vessel shall be covered for “strikes, riots and civil commotion” risk. Such risks may, at the option of the Shipowner, be insured by entering the Vessel in a reputable war risk association or club against
all risks covered under the rules of such association or club and with reasonable deductibles provided therein; 
 (iv) the
Vessel shall also be insured against protection and indemnity risks and liabilities, including, without limitation, the Vessel’s full tonnage and insurance against liability for pollution or the spillage or leakage of oil or other cargo by the
Vessel, unless such risk is fully covered by the entry of the Vessel into an international group protection and indemnity association, in an aggregate amount equal to at least $500,000,000, and by the entry of the Vessel in a protection and
indemnity association or club belonging to the International Group of Protection and Indemnity Clubs (the “International Group”), but in any event shall be in an amount recommended by the Insurance Advisor in its reasonable
discretion; 

  
 10 







 (v) if any of the insurances referred to in this Section 2.19 form
part of a fleet cover, the Shipowner shall procure that the brokers shall undertake to the Mortgagee that such brokers shall neither set off against any claims in respect of the Vessel any premiums due in respect of other vessels under such fleet
cover or any premiums due for other insurances, nor cancel the insurance for reason of non-payment of premiums for other vessels under such fleet cover or of premiums for such other insurances, and shall undertake to issue a separate policy or
policies in respect of the Vessel if and when so requested by the Mortgagee; and 
 (vi) if the Mortgagee determines solely
based upon the advice of the Insurance Advisor that the insurances do not reasonably protect the interests of the Mortgagee in the Vessel, it will consult with the Shipowner and the Insurance Advisor in order to agree to any changes to the
insurances that may be appropriate to protect the interest of the Mortgagee in relation to the Vessel, provided that if the Mortgagee and the Shipowner are unable to agree upon which changes may be appropriate, the Shipowner will comply with any
further requirements relating to insurance recommended by the Insurance Advisor. 
 (d) The amount, types of coverage, the insurance
provider(s) and all other issues related to the insurance required by this Section 2.19 shall be those reasonably determined by the Insurance Advisor and recommended to the Mortgagee in writing. The Mortgagee shall have no duty or
obligation to investigate or otherwise inquire into the recommendations made by the Insurance Advisor in connection with obtaining such insurance. 

(e) At the Shipowner’s expense, the Mortgagee will obtain, for and on behalf of the Mortgagee and the Secured Parties, mortgagee’s
interest insurance, mortgagee’s additional perils (pollution) insurance, and, when applicable, mortgagee’s rights insurance or similar coverage, and providing coverage in an amount not to exceed the aggregate amounts obtained under the
hull policies, increased value policies, and accelerated cost of construction policies (if any) for the Vessel and all other “Vessels” (as defined in the Second Lien Indenture) mortgaged to the Mortgagee as security for the Secured
Obligations or, if less, in an amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Secured Obligations plus all other “Secured Obligations” as defined in each mortgage over such other “Vessels.” Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the insurances required under this clause shall be payable to the mortgagee under the First Mortgage until the occurrence of the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (as defined in the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement). 

(f) In the case of all marine and war risk hull and machinery policies and all protection and indemnity insurances (including insurance
against liability for pollution or the spillage or leakage of cargo), the Shipowner will cause the Mortgagee to be named an additional insured without liability for premiums or calls payable under the insurances. 

(g) The Shipowner will cause all policies and certificates of entry with respect to insurance required hereby for the Vessel to contain a loss
payable clause which shall be on substantially the terms set forth in Schedule I attached to the second priority Insurance Assignment (or, if such terms are not obtainable, then such terms as shall, in the opinion of the Insurance Advisor be
the best otherwise attainable), in the case of all marine and war risk hull 

  
 11 







 
and machinery (including excess values) policies and all protection and indemnity and liability and oil pollution liability insurance, and which shall: (i) in the case of protection and
indemnity insurance, provide for payment to the Shipowner or its order unless the payment is to indemnify the Mortgagee from or reimburse the Mortgagee for any loss, damage or expense incurred by it or unless and until the insurers or associations
receive notice from the Mortgagee that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Deed of Covenants, in which event all payments shall be made to the Mortgagee, provided, that the insurer may in all events make payments
directly to third parties to whom liability has been established in discharge of guaranties issued by the insurer or claims against the Shipowner or insurer, and (ii) in the case of all other insurance, provide for payment in accordance with
the terms of Subsection (i) of this Section 2.19. 
 (h) In addition, the Shipowner will, at its cost and expense,
(i) assign to the Mortgagee, and will cause all Internal Charterers to assign to the Mortgagee, by the second priority Insurance Assignment, all of the Shipowner’s and, as applicable, each Internal Charterer’s right, title and
interest in and to each policy and contract of insurance (including all entries in protection and indemnity or war risk associations) with respect to the insurance required hereby and furnish, or cause its brokers to furnish, written notice of such
assignment to all insurers, underwriters, clubs and associations with respect to such insurance, and (ii) cause the insurance brokers and club managers to hold to the order of the Mortgagee the originals of all policies, contracts, binders,
insurance slips, cover notes and certificates of entry relating to the Vessel and to deliver certified copies thereof to the Mortgagee and to execute and deliver to the Mortgagee a letter of undertaking in connection with the above mentioned
insurances and entries. 
 (i) Subject to the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and subject and subordinate always to the
prior rights of the First Mortgagee under the First Mortgage, the proceeds of any insurances or entries referred to in this Section 2.19 shall be applied as follows: 

(i) Until the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default: 

(A) any claim under any such insurance (other than in respect of an Event of Loss), whether such claim is under the terms of
the relevant loss payable clause payable directly to the Shipowner or not, shall be applied by the Shipowner in making good the loss or damage in respect of which it has been paid or paid to the Shipowner in reimbursement of moneys expended by it
for such purpose, except that any loss in excess of $15,000,000 shall be paid to the Mortgagee and held by the Mortgagee, provided that the Mortgagee shall pay out of such insurance proceeds costs and expenses in connection with the Shipowner’s
repair of the Vessel so that the Vessel is restored to the condition required by this Deed of Covenants. Such proceeds shall be paid by the Mortgagee in the amounts and to the Persons certified from time to time by the Shipowner in one or more
certificates from a Responsible Officer of the Shipowner delivered to the Mortgagee as properly payable in connection with the repair of the Vessel; and 

(B) any claim in respect of protection and indemnity insurance shall be paid directly to the Person to which the liability
covered by such insurance was incurred or to the Shipowner in reimbursement of moneys expended by it in satisfaction of such liability. 

  
 12 







 (ii) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, any claim under
any such insurance and entry (other than in respect of an Event of Loss) shall be paid to the Mortgagee. The Mortgagee agrees to apply any such amount received in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. 

(iii) Whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred, any claim under any such insurance and entry in respect of an
Event of Loss shall be paid to the First Mortgagee for distribution under the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, and, after the First Mortgage shall have been released by the First Mortgagee, to the Mortgagee for distribution in accordance with
the terms of the Second Lien Indenture. 
 (iv) The Mortgagee agrees to deliver such proceeds to the Noteholder Collateral
Agent for application of such proceeds to the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Second Lien Indenture, subject the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement . Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Mortgagee shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to negotiate any claim in respect of an Event of Loss. 
 Subject to the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement
and subject and subordinate always to the prior rights of the First Mortgagee under the First Mortgage any loss covered by this paragraph (i) which is paid to the Mortgagee but which might have been paid, in accordance with the provisions of
this Subsection, directly to the Shipowner or others, shall be paid by the Mortgagee to or as directed by the Shipowner. The Mortgagee agrees that all payments to the Mortgagee of losses covered by this Subsection shall be applied by the Mortgagee
in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, and, after the First Mortgage shall have been released by the First Mortgagee in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Indenture. 

(j) In the event that any claim or Lien is asserted against the Vessel for loss, damage or expense which is covered by insurance required
hereunder (other than in the event of an Event of Loss of the Vessel), and it is necessary for the Shipowner to obtain a bond or supply other security to prevent arrest of the Vessel or to release the Vessel from arrest on account of such claim or
Lien, the Mortgagee, on request of the Shipowner or its agent, shall, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, assign to any Person executing a surety or guaranty bond or other agreement to save or release the Vessel
from such arrest, all right, title and interest of the Mortgagee in and to said insurance (excluding any protection and indemnity insurance under which the Mortgagee is a named insured) covering said loss, damage or expense, as collateral security
to indemnify against liability under said bond or other agreement, which assignment shall be made in such form as the Shipowner shall instruct the Mortgagee. 

(k) The Shipowner will cause each insurance company, underwriter, club or fund (or an authorized agent thereof) with respect to all insurance
required hereby to agree in writing for the benefit of the Mortgagee that each policy or contract issued by such insurance company, underwriter, club or fund shall not lapse, expire, terminate or be cancelled for any reason whatsoever without at
least seven (7) business days’ prior facsimile or email notice to the Mortgagee addressed as provided in Section 4.8. 

  
 13 







 (l) The Shipowner agrees that it will not do or permit or willingly allow to be done any act by
which any insurance or entry required by this Section 2.19 may be suspended, impaired or cancelled, and that it will not permit or allow the Vessel to undertake any voyage, or perform any drilling contract, or run any risk or transport
any cargo which may not be permitted by the policies in force, without having previously insured the Vessel by additional coverage to extend to such voyages, risks or cargoes. The Shipowner agrees to give the Mortgagee prompt notice of the proposed
location of the Vessel in the Gulf of Mexico, and confirm to the Mortgagee that the insurance coverage meets the requirements of this Deed of Covenants. While the Vessel is located in the Gulf of Mexico, the insurances may contain named windstorm
coverage exclusions in the Gulf of Mexico unless the Insurance Advisor advises that such named windstorm coverage is available in the Gulf of Mexico on a commercially reasonable basis and is customary with respect to the operation in the drilling
industry of any vessel similar to the Vessel in the Gulf of Mexico. 
 (m) The Shipowner will not cause or permit the Vessel to operate in
or undertake a voyage to or to sail in any area which has been declared a war area by the relevant underwriters and insurance companies and has been included in the list of exclusions from time to time in effect attached to the war risks insurance
policies in the form of the war risks trading warranties, without first notifying thereof the Mortgagee and the war risks underwriters of the Vessel and paying any additional insurance premiums required. The Shipowner agrees that it will promptly
furnish to the Mortgagee evidence of payment of such additional premiums. 
 (n) The Shipowner will comply with and satisfy in all material
respects all of the provisions of any applicable Legal Requirement, convention, regulation, proclamation or order concerning financial responsibility for liabilities imposed on the Shipowner or the Vessel with respect to pollution by any state or
nation or political subdivision thereof and will maintain all certificates or other evidence of financial responsibility as may be required by any such Legal Requirement, convention, regulation, proclamation or order with respect to the trade which
the Vessel is from time to time engaged in and the cargo carried by it. 
 (o) Any insurance placed through a “captive” insurer,
or an unrated local insurer through which all or a part of the insurance is required to be placed under the local Legal Requirements of the jurisdiction in which the Vessel may be located from time to time, or cover reinsured will be in form and
substance recommended by the Insurance Advisor in its reasonable discretion and in any event such insurance will: 
 (i) be
on the same terms as the original insurances and will include the provisions of this Section 2.19 (including but not limited to an assignment of such insurances or reinsurances to the Mortgagee as set forth in Section 2.19(h)
of this Mortgage); 
 (ii) provide that notwithstanding any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or similar
proceedings of or affecting the reinsured that the reinsurers’ liability will be to make such payments as would have fallen due under the relevant 

  
 14 







 
policy of reinsurance if the reinsured had (immediately before such bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceedings) discharged its obligations in full under the original
insurance policies in respect of which the then relevant policy of reinsurance has been effected; and 
 (iii) contain a
“cut-through” clause in the following form (or a form otherwise recommended by the Insurance Advisor in its reasonable discretion): 

“It is hereby declared and agreed that if [ ● ], a [ ● ]
(“[ ● ]”), as Insurer (or any successor to [ ● ] as insurer) under the insurance policy (the “Policy”) between [ ● ], as Insurer, and [ ● ] and U.S.
Bank National Association, as Mortgagee, as Assured, fails for any reason to pay in full all or any portion of any losses payable in respect of the insured vessel (the “Vessel”) under the Policy, or in any event upon written notice
by the said Assureds of an Event of Default under the Deed of Covenants, then all such losses (or such portion thereof) shall be paid directly by the reinsurers (collectively, the “Reinsurers”) identified from time to time under any
and all reinsurance agreements (the “Reinsurance Agreements”) providing for reinsurance under the Policy with respect to the Vessel to such Assureds, as the respective interests of the Assureds may appear under the Policy, but only
for the proportions subscribed by the Reinsurers and provided that the Reinsurers have not already made payment in full for their proportion in accordance with the terms of the Reinsurance Agreements and the Policy.” 

(p) At all times during which the Vessel is operating within the jurisdiction of the United States of America, the Shipowner shall maintain
with respect to the Vessel: 
 (i) insurance or post bonds or maintain approved evidence of financial responsibility
(including, without limitation, qualification as a “qualified self-insurer” by the United States Coast Guard) with respect to the Vessel to cover the actual cost of removal of discharged oil for which the Shipowner or the Mortgagee may be
held strictly liable (or held liable due to negligence of the Shipowner or any other Person) under the Clean Water Act of 1977, as amended, the Oil Pollution Act 1990 (33 U.S.C. § 2701 et seq.), as amended, or the Outer Continental Shelf Lands
Act, as amended, or under any other applicable Legal Requirement, including, without limitation, any Environmental Law, of any Governmental Authority that, now or in the future, may apply to the Shipowner or the Mortgagee, the Vessel or its
operations; and 
 (ii) such worker’s compensation or longshoremen’s and harbor workers’ insurance as shall be
required by applicable Legal Requirements, including endorsements for foreign and outer continental shelf operations, borrowed servant, voluntary compensation and in rem claims. 

Section 2.20 Subject and subordinate always to the prior rights of the First Mortgagee under the First Mortgage, the Shipowner hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally grants to the Mortgagee a power of attorney permitting the Mortgagee and representatives thereof to examine the class records of the Vessel at any time, and, without cost or expense to the Mortgagee, the Shipowner
will irrevocably and unconditionally instruct and authorize the Classification Society of the Vessel as follows, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the Classification Society a written undertaking to the Mortgagee: 

(a) to send to the Mortgagee, following receipt of a written request from the Mortgagee, certified true copies of all original class records
held by the Classification Society relating to the Vessel; 

  
 15 







 (b) to allow the Mortgagee (or its agents), at any time and from time to time if an Event of
Default (in the sole opinion of the Mortgagee) has occurred and is continuing, to inspect the original class and related records of the Shipowner and the Vessel at the offices of the Classification Society and to take copies of them; and 

(c) following receipt of a written request from the Mortgagee: 

(i) to advise of any facts or matters which may result in or have resulted in a change, suspension, discontinuance, withdrawal
or expiry of the Vessel’s class under the rules or terms and conditions of the Classification Society; 
 (ii) to
confirm that the Shipowner is not in default of any of its contractual obligations or liabilities to the Classification Society and, without limiting the foregoing, that it has paid in full all fees or other charges due and payable to the
Classification Society; 
 (iii) if the Shipowner is in default of any of its contractual obligations or liabilities to the
Classification Society, to specify to the Mortgagee in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances of such default, the consequences thereof, and any remedy period agreed or allowed by the Classification Society; and 

(iv) to notify the Mortgagee immediately in writing if the Classification Society receives notification from the Shipowner or
any other Person that the Vessel’s Classification Society is to be changed. 
 Notwithstanding the above instructions
and undertaking given for the benefit of the Mortgagee, the Shipowner shall continue to be responsible to the Classification Society for the performance and discharge of all its obligations and liabilities relating to or arising out of or in
connection with the contract it has with the Classification Society, and nothing herein or therein shall be construed as imposing any obligation or liability of the Mortgagee to the Classification Society in respect thereof. 

The Shipowner shall further notify the Classification Society that all the foregoing instructions and authorizations shall
remain in full force and effect until revoked or modified by written notice to the Classification Society received from the Mortgagee, and that the Shipowner shall reimburse the Classification Society for all its costs and expenses incurred in
complying with the foregoing instructions. 
 Section 2.21 The Shipowner covenants that it will at all times comply in all material
respects with the International Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention adopted by the International Maritime Organization. The Shipowner shall 

  
 16 







 
take, or cause to be taken, all reasonable precautions to prevent illegal drugs or drug paraphernalia from being used or kept on board the Vessel and, if applicable, otherwise comply with the
Zero Tolerance anti-drug policy of the United States government. 
 ARTICLE III. 

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 

Section 3.1 If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then, in each and every such case the Mortgagee shall have the
right, subject and subordinate always to the prior rights of the First Mortgagee under the First Mortgage, to make such demands and take such actions as are permitted by the Second Lien Note Documents, including, without limitation, to: 

(a) declare immediately due and payable all of the Secured Obligations (in which case all of the same shall be immediately due) (provided, no
such declaration shall be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred under a particular Second Lien Note Document that triggers an automatic enforcement of rights under such Second Lien Note Document) and bring suit at law, in equity or in
admiralty, as it may be advised, to recover judgment for the Secured Obligations and satisfy the same out of the Vessel; 
 (b) exercise all
of the rights and remedies in foreclosure with respect to the Vessel and otherwise given to mortgagees by the provisions of any applicable Legal Requirements; 

(c) take and enter into possession of the Vessel, at any time, wherever the same may be, without court decision or other legal process and
without being responsible for loss or damage, and the Shipowner or other Person in possession forthwith upon demand of the Mortgagee shall surrender to the Mortgagee possession of the Vessel and the Mortgagee may, without being responsible for loss
or damage (except to the extent caused by the Mortgagee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct), hold, lay up, lease, charter, operate or otherwise use such Vessel for such time and upon such terms as it may deem to be for its best advantage,
and demand, collect and retain all hire, freights, earnings, issues, revenues, income, profits, return premiums, salvage awards or recoveries, recoveries in general average, and all other sums due or to become due in respect of such Vessel or in
respect of any insurance thereon from any Person whomsoever, accounting only for the net profits, if any, arising from such use of the Vessel and charging upon all receipts from the use of the Vessel or from the sale thereof by court proceedings or
pursuant to Section 3.1(e) below, all costs, expenses, charges, damages or losses by reason of such use (including attorney’s fees); provided, that the Mortgagee shall be obligated to provide the Shipowner only with a final
accounting; and if at any time the Mortgagee shall avail itself of the right herein given it to take possession of the Vessel, the Mortgagee shall have the right to dock the Vessel for a reasonable time at any dock, pier or other premises of the
Shipowner without charge, or to dock them at any other place at the cost and expense of the Shipowner, and the Mortgagee shall have the right to require the Shipowner to deliver, and the Shipowner shall on demand, at its own cost and expense,
deliver to the Mortgagee the Vessel as demanded; and the Shipowner hereby irrevocably instructs the master of the Vessel so long as the Mortgage and this Deed of Covenants is outstanding to deliver the Vessel to the Mortgagee as demanded; 

  
 17 







 (d) inspect and make copies of all original class records held by the Classification Society
relating to such Vessel; and/or 
 (e) without being responsible for loss or damage, other than loss or damage due to its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct, sell such Vessel, at any place and at such time as the Mortgagee may specify and in such manner and such place (whether by public or private sale) as the Mortgagee may deem advisable (without necessity of bringing
the Vessel to the place designated for such sale), free from any claim by the Shipowner in admiralty, in equity, at law or by statute, after first giving notice of the time and place of any public sale with a general description of the property in
the following manner: 
 (i) by publishing such notice for twenty (20) consecutive days in a daily newspaper of general
circulation published in New York City; 
 (ii) if the place of sale should not be New York City, then also by publication of
a similar notice in a daily newspaper, if any, published at the place of sale; and 
 (iii) by mailing a similar notice to
the Shipowner at its last known address on the day of first publication; 
 and notice of the time and place of any private sale by mailing such notice to
the Shipowner at its last known address. 
 Section 3.2 Any sale of the Vessel or any interest therein made by the Mortgagee after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to the Mortgage and this Deed of Covenants, whether under the power of sale hereby granted or any judicial proceedings, shall operate to divest all right, title and interest of
any nature whatsoever of the Shipowner in and to the Vessel or such interest therein sold, as the case may be, and shall bar any claim from the Shipowner, its successors and assigns, and all Persons claiming by, through or under them. No purchaser
shall be bound to inquire whether notice has been given, or whether any default has occurred, or as to the propriety of the sale, or as to the application of the proceeds thereof. In the case of any such sale, subject and subordinate always to the
prior rights of the First Mortgagee under the First Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall apply such proceeds in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. At any such sale, the Mortgagee may bid for and purchase such property and
upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor. 

Section 3.3 Subject and subordinate always to the prior rights of the First Mortgagee under the First Mortgage, the Mortgagee is hereby
appointed attorney-in-fact of the Shipowner to execute and deliver to any purchaser referred to in Section 3.2, and is hereby vested with full irrevocable power and authority to make, after the occurrence and during the continuation of
an Event of Default, in the name and on behalf of the Shipowner, a good conveyance of the title to the Vessel so sold. In the event of any sale of the Vessel under any power herein contained, the Shipowner will, if and when required by the
Mortgagee, execute such form of conveyance of such Vessel and other related documents as the Mortgagee may specify. The powers and authority granted to the Mortgagee herein have been given for a valuable consideration and are hereby declared to be
irrevocable. 

  
 18 







 Section 3.4 Subject and subordinate always to the prior rights of the First Mortgagee under
the First Mortgage, the Mortgagee is hereby appointed attorney-in-fact of the Shipowner in the name of the Shipowner to, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, demand, collect, receive, compromise and sue for, so
far as may be permitted by law, all freights, hire, earnings, issues, revenues, income and profits of the Vessel and all amounts due from underwriters under any insurance thereon as payments of losses or as return premiums or otherwise, salvage
awards and recoveries of the Vessel, recoveries in general average or otherwise in respect of the Vessel, and all other sums in respect of the Vessel, due or to become due at the time of the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of
Default, or in respect of any insurance thereon, from any Person whomsoever, and to make, give and execute in the name of the Shipowner acquittances, receipts, releases or other discharges for the same, whether under seal or otherwise, and to
endorse and accept in the name of the Shipowner all checks, notes, drafts, warrants, agreements and other instruments in writing with respect to the foregoing. The powers and authority granted to the Mortgagee herein have been given for a valuable
consideration and are hereby declared to be irrevocable. 
 Section 3.5 Whenever any right to enter and take possession of the Vessel
accrues to the Mortgagee, it may require the Shipowner to deliver, and the Shipowner shall on demand, at its own cost and expense, deliver to the Mortgagee such Vessel as demanded. If any legal proceedings shall be taken to enforce any right of
Mortgagee under the Mortgage or this Deed of Covenants, the Mortgagee shall be entitled as a matter of right to the appointment of a receiver of such Vessel and of the freights, hire, earnings, issues, revenues, income and profits due or to become
due and arising from the operation thereof. 
 Section 3.6 Subject and subordinate always to the prior rights of the First Mortgagee
under the First Mortgage, at any time after the Secured Obligations shall have become due and payable, the Mortgagee shall be entitled (but not bound) by writing executed as a deed or under the hand of any director or officer of the Mortgagee to
appoint any Person or Persons to be a receiver and/or manager of the Vessel (the “Receiver”) or any part thereof (with power to authorise any joint receiver and/or manager to exercise any power independently of any other joint
receiver and/or manager) and may from time to time fix his remuneration, and may remove any Receiver so appointed and appoint another in his place. Any Receiver so appointed shall be the agent of the Shipowner and the Shipowner shall be solely
responsible for his acts or defaults and for his remuneration, and such receiver and/or manager so appointed shall have all powers conferred by the Conveyancing and Law of Property Act (Ch. 138) and, in addition, power on behalf of and at the cost
of the Shipowner to do or omit to do anything which the Shipowner could do or omit to do in relation to the Vessel any part thereof and in particular (but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) any such receiver and/or manager may
exercise all the powers and discretions conferred on the Mortgagee by the Mortgage and this Deed of Covenants. 
 Section 3.7 Neither
the Mortgagee nor any Receiver shall be liable as mortgagee in possession in respect of the Vessel to account or be liable for any loss upon realisation or for any neglect or default of any nature whatsoever in connection therewith for which a
mortgagee in possession may be liable as such. 

  
 19 







 Section 3.8 Upon any sale of the Vessel or any share or interest therein by the Mortgagee,
or by any Receiver, the purchaser shall not be bound to see or enquire whether the Mortgagee’s power of sale has arisen in the manner provided in this Deed of Covenants and the sale shall be deemed to be within the power of the Mortgagee (or
the Receiver, as the case may be) and the receipt of the Mortgagee (or the Receiver, as the case may be) for the purchase money shall effectively discharge the purchaser who shall not be concerned with the manner of application of the proceeds of
sale or be in any way answerable therefor and the sale shall operate to divest the Shipowner of all rights, title and interest of any nature whatsoever in the Vessel and to bar any such interest of the Shipowner and all Persons claiming through or
under the Shipowner. 
 Section 3.9 Section 19 of the Conveyancing and Law of Property Act or the equivalent provisions of any
subsequent amending or consolidating act shall not apply to this Deed of Covenants. The statutory power of sale shall be exercisable at any time after the money owing on this security shall have become payable without regard to Section 22 of
the Conveyancing and Law of Property Act which section shall not apply to this security or any sale made by virtue thereof. 

Section 3.10 Subject and subordinate always to the prior rights of the First Mortgagee under the First Mortgage, the Shipowner authorizes
and empowers the Mortgagee or its appointees or any of them to, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, appear in the name of the Shipowner, its successors and assigns, in any court of any country or nation of the
world where a suit is pending against the Vessel because of or on account of an alleged lien against such Vessel from which such Vessel has not been released and to take such proceedings as to them or any of them may deem necessary towards the
defense of such suit and the purchase or discharge of such lien, and all expenditures made or incurred by them or any of them for the purpose of such defense or purchase or discharge shall be a debt due from the Shipowner, its successors and
assigns, to the Mortgagee, and shall be secured by the lien of the Mortgage and this Deed of Covenants in like manner and extent as if the amount and description thereof were written herein. 

Section 3.11 Subject and subordinate always to the prior rights of the First Mortgagee under the First Mortgage, the Shipowner covenants
that at any time that any Secured Obligations shall be due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise), the same shall be paid in accordance with the Second Lien Indenture and any other Second Lien Note Documents, as applicable; and in case
the Shipowner fails to pay or cause to be paid the same when due in accordance with the Second Lien Indenture, the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, and such other Second Lien Note Documents as applicable, and that failure constitutes an Event of
Default thereunder, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to recover judgment for the whole amount so due and unpaid, together with such further amounts as shall be provided by the Notes and such other Second Lien Note Documents, as applicable, and any
applicable Legal Requirement. All moneys collected by the Mortgagee under this Section 3.11 shall be applied by the Mortgagee in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Indenture and any other Second Lien Note Document. 

Section 3.12 Each and every power and remedy herein given to the Mortgagee shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other
power and remedy herein given or now or 

  
 20 







 
hereafter existing at law, in equity, in admiralty, by statute or under the Second Lien Indenture and any other Second Lien Note Document or other agreement, and each and every power and remedy
whether herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy by the Mortgagee shall
not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other power or remedy. No delay or omission by the Mortgagee in the exercise of any right or power or in the pursuance of any remedy accruing upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any such right, power or remedy; nor shall the acceptance by the Mortgagee of any security or of any payment
of or on account of the Secured Obligations be construed to be a waiver of any right that the Mortgagee may have hereunder after the occurrence and during the continuance of such Event of Default or any other Event of Default, including any
subsequent Event of Default of the same or a different nature. Despite anything contained herein to the contrary, the Mortgage and this Deed of Covenants are subject and subordinate always to the First Mortgage and all provisions hereof shall be
construed accordingly, and the rights and powers granted to the Mortgagee herein are subordinate to the corresponding rights and powers granted to the First Mortgagee under the First Mortgage and may not be exercised in such a manner as to impair or
prejudice such rights and powers under the First Mortgage. Further, despite anything contained herein to the contrary, so long as the First Mortgage is outstanding, the Mortgagee may exercise the remedies or powers expressed herein only under the
conditions set forth in the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. 
 Section 3.13 If at any time prior to any sale of or consummation of
foreclosure proceedings on the Vessel by the Mortgagee after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default in accordance herewith, the Shipowner offers to cure such Event of Default and to pay all expenses, advances, fees and
damages to the Mortgagee arising from such Event of Default to the extent provided for in the Second Lien Indenture or any other Second Lien Note Documents, including all costs and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee upon the exercise by the
Mortgagee of its rights hereunder as a result of such Event of Default, then the Mortgagee may, but shall be under no obligation to, accept such offer, cure and payment and restore the Shipowner to its former position, but such action shall not
affect any rights which the Mortgagee may have hereunder after the occurrence and during the continuance of any subsequent Event of Default or impair any rights consequent thereon. 

Section 3.14 In case the Mortgagee shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under the Mortgage or this Deed of
Covenants by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Mortgagee, then and in every such case the Shipowner and the Mortgagee shall
be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the property subject or intended to be subject to the Mortgage or this Deed of Covenants, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Mortgagee shall continue as if no such
proceedings had been taken. 
 Section 3.15 Subject to the prior rights of the First Mortgagee under the First Mortgage and to the
terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, unless otherwise specified herein or in the Second Lien Indenture, any cash proceeds received by the Mortgagee from the sale of, collection of, or other realization upon any part of the Vessel or
related collateral or any other 

  
 21 







 
amounts received by the Mortgagee hereunder, including the net earnings of any charter operation or other use of the Vessel by the Mortgagee under any of the powers specified in Article I and/or
Article II shall be applied to the Secured Obligations. Amounts applied to the Secured Obligations shall be applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in and in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Indenture.
Any surplus cash collateral or cash proceeds held by the Mortgagee after payment in full of the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the Shipowner or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. 

Section 3.16 Unless and until one or more Events of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Shipowner (a) shall be suffered and
permitted to retain actual possession and use of the Vessel and (b) shall have the right, from time to time, in its discretion, and without application to the Mortgagee, and without obtaining a release thereof by the Mortgagee, to dispose of,
free from the lien hereof, any boilers, engines, generators, drilling machinery and equipment, pumps and pumping equipment, machinery, masts, spars, sails, rigging, boats, anchors, cables, chains, tackle, outfit, apparel, furniture, fittings,
equipment, spares, fuel, stores or any other appurtenances of the Vessel, provided such item of property is replaced and such Vessel is maintained in the condition required herein, and such replacement item, if any, shall forthwith become subject to
the lien of the Mortgage and this Deed of Covenants as a second priority statutory mortgage thereon. 
 Section 3.17 Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Deed of Covenants, the amount of any Secured Obligations that are secured by the Shipowner’s rights in the Vessel or any related collateral or subject to a Lien in favor of the Mortgagee hereunder or under any
other Second Lien Note Document shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that the Liens granted under the Mortgage or this Deed of Covenants shall not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United
States or any comparable provision of any other applicable Legal Requirements or to being set aside or annulled under any applicable Legal Requirement relating to fraud on creditors. In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any
Secured Obligations that are subject to the Lien on the Vessel and related collateral hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation or contribution which the Shipowner may have
under any Second Lien Note Documents, any other agreement or applicable Legal Requirements shall be taken into account.
