KIND, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SEAWORTHINESS OR CONFORMITY TO ANY REPRESENTATION OR DESCRIPTION), ARE MADE BY THE SERVICE PROVIDER WITH RESPECT TO THE

may be assisting in the provision of Services hereunder are or may be at-will employees and, in any event, may terminate or be terminated from employment with the Service Provider or any of the other members of the Paragon Group providing Services
hereunder at any time for any reason. The Noble Group Service Coordinator may require, on behalf of the Service Recipient, that any person providing Services to the Noble Group under this Agreement (whether or not an employee of the Service Provider
or any other member of the Paragon Group) be replaced with another person reasonably acceptable to the Noble Group Coordinator. 

Section 2.6 Conflict with Laws; Business Ethics. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) none of the

Services. The Service Recipient agrees to notify the Service Provider in writing of any amendment or modification of the Business Code and provide a copy of the same within three (3) Business Days of such amendment or modification.

 ARTICLE III 

CHARGES 

Section 3.1 Charges. Charges for Services rendered under this Agreement will be calculated in accordance with this Article and
paid monthly in accordance with Article IV. The Charges will consist of (a) charges calculated by reference to a rig operating statement for each applicable Noble Rig, reflecting the contract drilling and Allocated Shore-Based Costs for such
Noble Rig during a calendar month (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not include any Delayed Accrued Expenses) including the Payable Accrued Expenses for such calendar month (the “Rig Invoices”) which will be in the form set
forth in Exhibit C attached hereto, and (b) the applicable Non-Brazilian Rig Personnel Charge for such calendar month (collectively, the “Charges”). Subject to any adjustments provided for in this Agreement, the Service
Provider shall be entitled to retain any Customer Revenues paid under the Local Services Agreements. The Charges with respect to each Noble Rig for any calendar month will equal the excess of (A) one hundred six percent (106%) of
the total amount reflected on the applicable Rig Invoice less (B) Customer Revenues received with respect to such Noble Rig during such calendar month (as so calculated, the “Noble Rig Monthly Charges”). The Charges with
respect to any applicable Non-Brazilian Rig Personnel Charges for any calendar month will equal one hundred six percent (106%) of the Non-Brazilian Rig Personnel Charges for such calendar month (as so calculated, the “Other Rig Monthly
Charges” and, together with the Noble Rig Monthly Charges, the “Monthly Charges”). For the avoidance of doubt, (i) no Charges relating to any services provided with respect to periods prior to the Effective Date will
be passed through under this Agreement and (ii) Noble shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses related to the termination of any Paragon employees. In the event that the Noble Dave Beard enters a shipyard prior to the
assignment of the Dave Beard Charter from PONBV to NDNBV II, PONBV shall enter into any shipyard contract reasonably requested by Noble Cayman and shall pass through all costs under such contract to the Service Recipient as Charges pursuant to this
Agreement. For any shipyard contract entered into pursuant to this Section 3.1, the Parties will cooperate to ensure that such shipyard contract provides indemnification obligations on substantially the same terms as those provided in Article
VIII of this Agreement. 
 Section 3.2 Taxes. The contract drilling and shore-based costs reflected on the Rig Invoices for any
calendar month shall include all Brazilian Indirect Taxes (grossed-up for any incremental indirect taxes as a result of the reimbursement) imposed on the Service Provider or its Affiliates to the extent such Taxes accrue in such month and are
attributable to the performance of the Services or receipt of the Charges, but shall in no case include (i) any Brazilian Indirect Taxes allocable to Noble under Article II of the Tax Sharing Agreement or (ii) any Brazilian Indirect Taxes
that are Delayed Accrued Expenses. 
 ARTICLE IV 

PAYMENT 

Section 4.1 Payment Matters. The Monthly Charges shall be invoiced monthly, within fifteen (15) days after the end of
the applicable month, in arrears in a single statement for each applicable Noble Rig and separate statements for any Non-Brazil Rig Personnel Charges (each a “Monthly Statement” and, collectively, the “Monthly
Statements”) prepared by the Service Provider or an Affiliate and shall be in the form set forth in Exhibit E hereto. Service Recipient (as specified in the 

  
 8 








 
applicable Monthly Statement) shall pay the amount set forth in the applicable Monthly Statement to a Paragon Group entity designated by the Paragon Group Service Coordinator in the applicable
invoice (which shall initially be PONBV or Limitada, as applicable) no later than thirty (30) days after the Noble Group’s receipt of such Monthly Statement (each date of such payment, a “Monthly Payment Date”). Each
Monthly Statement shall set forth in reasonable detail, for the calendar month covered by such Monthly Statement: (i) the applicable Rig Invoice for such calendar month, (ii) any applicable credit or debit for exchange rate differences in
respect of the preceding Monthly Statement and (iii) any Advance Amounts received with respect to such calendar month (as defined below) that are to be credited against the Monthly Charges. In addition, a Monthly Statement shall be provided
that includes an invoice for any applicable Non-Brazil Rig Personnel Charges for such calendar month. All amounts shown on the Monthly Statements will be denominated in Brazilian Reals and paid in either Brazilian Reals or US Dollars, at the Service
Recipient’s option, by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If payment is made in US Dollars, the Service Provider shall, or shall cause, all amounts received in payment to be to be converted into Brazilian Reals within three
(3) Business Days of receipt of the payment. To the extent that the Real to Dollar conversion rate on the date the Service Provider converts the applicable payment into Brazilian Reals differs from the conversion rate on the applicable Monthly
Payment Date, the Service Provider shall reflect such difference as an additional charge (if the value of the Real against the Dollar rises) or credit (if the value of the Dollar against the Real rises), as the case may be, on the following
month’s Monthly Statement; provided, however, that the Service Provider will not be entitled to add any additional charges (if applicable) in respect of any conversion rate differences on the following Monthly Statement if the Service
Provider has not converted the applicable payment into Brazilian Reals within the time set forth herein and, in the event that such conversion would have resulted in a positive adjustment for the Noble Group, the Noble Group will be entitled to a
credit or refund (as applicable) as if the Service Provider had converted the applicable payment within the allotted time. 
 The Service
Provider will provide Noble Cayman with a funding request every two weeks on the applicable Monday (the “Advance Requests”) for reasonably projected cash needs for the Services to be provided in the following two weeks with respect
to each Noble Rig (the “Advance Amounts”). All amounts shown on the Advance Requests will be denominated in Brazilian Reals and Noble Cayman shall cause such amounts to be paid in either Brazilian Reals or US Dollars, at Noble
Cayman’s option, by wire transfer of immediately available funds within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such Advance Request (each date of such payment, an “Advance Payment Date”). If payment is made in US Dollars,
the Service Provider shall, or shall cause, all amounts received in payment to be to be converted into Brazilian Reals within three (3) Business Days of receipt of the payment. To the extent that the Real to Dollar conversion rate on the date
the Service Provider converts the applicable payment into Brazilian Reals differs from the conversion rate on the applicable Advance Payment Date, the Service Provider shall reflect such difference as an additional charge (if the value of the Real
against the Dollar rises) or credit (if the value of the Dollar against the Real rises), as the case may be, on the subsequent Advance Request; provided, however, that the Service Provider will not be entitled to add any additional charges
(if applicable) in respect of any conversion rate differences on the subsequent Advance Request if the Service Provider has not converted the applicable payment into Brazilian Reals within the time set forth herein and, in the event that such
conversion would have resulted in a positive adjustment for the Noble Group, the Noble Group will be entitled to a credit or refund (as applicable) as if the Service Provider had converted the applicable payment within the allotted time. In the
event any Advance Amounts received by the Service Provider that relate to periods prior to the Effective Date were in excess of the amounts needed by the Service Provider for such periods, the Service Provider shall offset such amounts against the
Charges to be paid hereunder in the next applicable Monthly Statement or promptly refund such amounts. 

  
 9 








 Each Rig Invoice shall reflect any Delayed Accrued Expenses with respect to the applicable Noble
Rig, but such amounts shall only be payable by the Noble Group pursuant to Section 4.2. 
 Section 4.2 Delayed Accrued Expenses
and Payable Accrued Expenses.  
 Upon payment of any Delayed Accrued Expenses by the Service Provider, the Service Provider shall
invoice Noble Cayman providing reasonable evidence of the payment by the Service Provider of such Delayed Accrued Expenses. Noble Cayman, or its applicable Affiliate, shall pay the amount set forth in such invoice no later than thirty (30) days
after Noble Cayman’s receipt of such invoice. Ninety (90) days following the exit of each Noble Rig from Brazilian waters and upon the termination of this Agreement, Paragon shall credit on the next following invoice for the other Noble
Rigs still in Brazil (or refund, as applicable) the Noble Group for any Payable Accrued Expenses that any member of the Noble Group has paid to the Service Provider but that the Service Provider has not actually paid. Such credit or refund shall be
without prejudice to the Service Provider’s right to indemnity with respect to any future payment of the liability associated therewith. 

Section 4.3 Payment Procedures. 

Any amount due from the Service Recipient under this Agreement that is not paid in full on or before the date such payment is due will incur a
delayed payment charge on the unpaid amount from the original due date until the date paid at a per annum rate of interest equal to the Late Interest Rate. 

In the event there is any dispute with respect to a Monthly Statement, the Service Recipient shall make the payment for all non-disputed
amounts in accordance herewith. The Service Recipient will be entitled to withhold any disputed amounts without interest until such dispute is resolved and the Service Provider shall continue to provide the Services during the pendency of any
dispute. When such dispute is resolved, the Service Provider will issue a credit/debit memo in accordance with the outcome of the dispute resolution. 

Except as provided on Exhibit E, the Service Recipient shall be responsible for all transfer taxes, excises, fees or other charges
(including any sales, use, goods and services, value added or similar taxes) imposed or assessed on the Service Recipient or its Affiliates on payments made pursuant to this Agreement. The Service Recipient shall be entitled to deduct and withhold
taxes required by any Governmental Requirements to be withheld on payments made pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent any amounts are so withheld, the Service Recipient shall (i) pay, in addition to the amount otherwise due to the Service
Provider under this Agreement, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Service Provider will equal the full amount the Service Provider would have received had no such deduction or withholding
been required, (ii) pay such deducted and withheld amount to the proper Governmental Authority, and (iii) promptly provide to the Service Provider evidence of such payment to such Governmental Authority.

described in clause (ii) above and the rights set forth in Section 8.4 shall constitute the Service Recipient’s sole and exclusive rights and remedies for a breach by the Service Provider hereunder (including any breach caused by an
Affiliate of the Service Provider or any Permitted Subcontractor). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Service Recipient shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to the Service Provider if the
Service Recipient has a good faith reason to believe that the Service Provider has breached any of the provisions of Section 2.6. 

Section 7.2 Termination for Bankruptcy. In the event that a Party shall (i) file a petition in bankruptcy, (ii) become
or be declared insolvent, or become the subject of any proceedings (not dismissed within sixty (60) calendar days) related to its liquidation, insolvency or the appointment of a receiver, (iii) make an assignment on behalf of all or
substantially all of its creditors, or (iv) take any corporate action for its winding up or dissolution, then a Party from the other Group shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice in accordance with

	 	(D)	Indemnification Procedures. 

  

	 	(i)	Third-Party Claim. The Service Recipient’s indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 8.1(A) and the Service Provider’s indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 8.1(B), in each case,
with respect to Damages claimed or asserted against a person claiming indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) by a third party (that third-party claim or assertion, a “Claim”), are subject to
the following terms and conditions: 

  

	 	(1)	The Indemnified Party shall, with reasonable promptness after the Indemnified Party has notice of a Claim, (A) notify the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the
existence of that Claim and (B) transmit to the Indemnifying Party a notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing, in reasonable detail, the nature of the Claim, and copies of any papers served with respect to such Claim. Within thirty
(30) calendar days after receipt of any Claim Notice (the “Election Period”), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party (A) whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its potential liability to the Indemnified
Party under this Article VIII with respect to such Claim and (B) whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at its sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified
Party within the Election Period that the Indemnifying Party disputes its potential liability with respect to such Claim, any Damages resulting from such Claim shall be payable by the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement. The Indemnified Party is
hereby authorized, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (but only if the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement), to file, during the Election Period, any motion, answer or other pleadings that the
Indemnified Party shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party. 

  

	 	(2)	 If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Election Period that the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the
Claim, then this Section 8.1(D)(i)(2) shall apply (but not otherwise) and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, at its sole cost and expense (if it is determined that the Indemnified




  
 15 









	 	
Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement), such Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted diligently by the Indemnifying Party to a final
conclusion or settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Section 8.1(D)(i)(2). The Indemnified Party may, at its own cost and expense, participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Claim
controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 8.1(D)(i)(2). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.1(D)(i)(2) to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party may not, without the express written consent of the Indemnified
Party, agree to any compromise or settlement which does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all Damages. 

  

	 	(3)	If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Election Period that the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Claim or if the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense
of the Claim but fails to satisfy its obligations under Section 8.1(D)(i)(2), then this Section 8.1(D)(i)(3) shall apply (but not otherwise) and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the
Indemnifying Party (if it is determined that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement), the Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted diligently by the Indemnified Party to a final
conclusion or settled at the discretion of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement of such defense and proceedings, provided that the Indemnifying
Party shall not be liable for any such compromise or settlement unless such compromise or settlement is made with the Indemnifying Party’s express written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The
Indemnifying Party may, at its own cost and expense, participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Claim controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.1(D)(i)(3). 


 

	 	(4)	 Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.1(D)(i) to the contrary, to the extent (A) the Indemnifying Party has delivered a notice to the
Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party disputes its potential liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article VIII and (B) such 



  
 16 









	 	
dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the defense pursuant to Section 8.1(D)(i)(2) or
Section 8.1(D)(i)(3), and the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all of those costs and expenses. 

  

	 	(ii)	No Third-Party Claim. In the event any Indemnified Party claims indemnification against any Indemnifying Party under this Agreement but that claim for indemnification does not involve a Claim, the Indemnified
Party shall (A) notify the Indemnifying Party and (B) transmit to the Indemnifying Party a notice (an “Indemnity Notice”) describing, in reasonable detail, the nature of the claim. Within thirty (30) calendar days
after receipt of any Indemnity Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its potential liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article VIII. If the Indemnifying Party does not
notify the Indemnified Party within such 30-day period that the Indemnifying Party disputes its potential liability with respect to such Indemnity Notice, any Damages resulting from such Indemnity Notice shall be payable by the Indemnifying Party
under this Agreement. 

  

	 	(iii)	The provisions of this Section 8.1(D) are in all cases subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 and elsewhere in this Agreement. 


Section 8.2 Limitations on Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL
EITHER PARTY, THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT
OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL NOT LIMIT EACH PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS FOR LIABILITIES TO
THIRD PARTIES AS SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE VIII. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS ARTICLE VIII, “CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES” MEANS ANY EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, REMOTE OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING IN RESPECT OF LOST
PROFITS OR REVENUES). 
 Section 8.3 Limited Recourse. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, (A) NO
AFFILIATE OF ANY PARTY WILL HAVE ANY LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH A PARTY’S FAILURE TO PERFORM ANY TERM, COVENANT, CONDITION OR PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND (B) IN PURSUING ANY REMEDY FOR


  
 17 








 
ANY PARTY’S BREACH OF ANY TERM, COVENANT, CONDITION OR PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OF 

ANY DUTY OR STANDARD OF CONDUCT BASED ON NEGLIGENCE, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR PERSONAL INJURY OR OTHER TORT OR VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE
GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS, OR OTHERWISE, THE OTHER PARTY WILL NOT HAVE RECOURSE AGAINST ANY PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEFAULTING OR BREACHING PARTY ITSELF NOR AGAINST ANY ASSETS OTHER THAN THE ASSETS OF THE DEFAULTING OR BREACHING PARTY ITSELF. 

Section 8.4 Limitation on Remedies. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that: 

 

	 	(A)	In the event the Service Provider fails to provide the Services (or a portion thereof) in accordance herewith, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Service Recipient shall be (i) to make a claim for indemnification
pursuant to Section 8.1(D) (if available), (ii) to have the Service (or relevant portion) reperformed, without having to reimburse the Service Provider for its direct internal cost of such reperformance, (iii) to withhold payment for
such Service (or relevant portion thereof), (iv) to the extent applicable, to have the right to terminate the Agreement under Section 7.1 or (v) pursue its rights under Section 11.12. The Service Recipient may pursue more than
one remedy at the same time but ultimately may not recover more than once. Such rights are the Service Recipient’s sole remedy for any non-performance, inadequate performance, faulty performance or other failure or breach by the Service
Provider under or relating to this Agreement. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THIS SECTION 8.4(a), THE SERVICE RECIPIENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THE SERVICE RECIPIENT MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO CLAIM, COLLECT OR RECEIVE DAMAGES,
TO ENFORCE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OR TO PURSUE ANY OTHER REMEDY AVAILABLE IN CONTRACT, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY IN THE EVENT OF ANY NON-PERFORMANCE, INADEQUATE PERFORMANCE, FAULTY PERFORMANCE OR OTHER FAILURE OR
BREACH BY THE SERVICE PROVIDER UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE EXCEPT ONLY TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE SERVICE PROVIDER OR ITS AFFILIATES. 


 

	 	(B)	 Without limiting the generality of any other provision hereof, it is not the intent of the Service Provider or its Affiliates to render professional
advice or opinions, whether with regard to tax, legal, treasury, finance, intellectual property, employment or other matters; the Service Recipient shall not rely on any Service rendered by or on behalf of the Service Provider or its Affiliates for
such professional advice or opinions; and notwithstanding the Service Recipient’s receipt of any proposal, recommendation or suggestion in any way relating to tax, legal, treasury,




  
 18 









	 	
finance, intellectual property, employment or any other subject matter, the Service Recipient shall seek all third-party professional advice and opinions as it may desire or need, and in any
event the Service Recipient shall be solely responsible for and assume all risks associated with the Services, except to the limited extent set forth in this Section; and, with respect to any software or documentation within the Services, the
Service Recipient shall use such software and documentation internally and for their intended purpose only, shall not distribute, publish, transfer, sublicense or in any manner make such software or documentation available to other organizations or
persons, and shall not act as a service bureau or consultant in connection with such software. 

  

	 	(C)	A material inducement to the provision of the Services is the limitation of liability, damages and recourse set forth herein and the release and indemnity provided by the Service Recipient. 


Section 8.5 Express Negligence. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSED THEREIN, THE INDEMNITY, RELEASES AND LIMITATIONS ON
DAMAGES, RECOURSE AND LIABILITIES IN THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ARTICLES II AND VIII) ARE INTENDED TO BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST THE PARTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXPRESS TERMS AND SCOPE THEREOF, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE.

determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the court, administrative agency or arbitrator shall interpret this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as

available.

 22 








 Section 11.13 Construction. This Agreement shall be construed as if jointly drafted
