use such Provider Systems internally and for their intended purpose only, shall not distribute, publish, transfer, sublicense or in any manner make such Provider Systems available to other organizations or persons, and shall not act as a service
bureau or consultant in connection with such Provider Systems; (ii) shall comply with all of Provider’s system security policies, procedures and requirements that have been provided to the Company Group (“Security

to the Provider Systems and immediately notify Provider. In addition, Provider shall have the right to deny any employee of the Company Group or other Person acting on the Company Group’s behalf access to the Provider Systems in the event that

apparent unauthorized access to the Provider Systems. 
 (d) Without limiting the generality of any other provision hereof,
the Company Group shall have responsibility under this Agreement for the actions and omissions of both its employees and any other Person acting on its behalf.

the foregoing, neither the Provider nor any of its Affiliates shall be responsible, liable or deemed in breach of this Agreement for any delay or failure in the performance of its obligations under or in connection with this Agreement to the extent

 ARTICLE 4 

PAYMENT TO PROVIDER 

4.1 Intercompany Costs. 

4.1.1 Each calendar month, each applicable Company Group member agrees to reimburse Provider or its designee for the
cost of all direct labor, materials and expenses resulting from the provision of Services hereunder, plus an allocated portion of Provider’s shared and pooled direct costs, indirect costs and general and administrative costs (including costs

 4.1.2 In addition to the reimbursement provided in Section 4.1.1, the applicable

Section 4.1.1, the applicable Transocean Group member shall prepare a statement of Costs and Expenses incurred in providing the Services, setting forth the basis for calculation in such detail as reasonably required. The applicable
Transocean Group member shall then deliver an invoice to the applicable Company Group member for such costs together with the corresponding Services Fee (an “Invoice”).

such Invoice, without any reduction for taxes, except as required by any Governmental Requirement.

make such deduction or withholding, (ii) such Company Group Member shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with such Governmental Requirement, (iii) such Company Group Member
shall promptly furnish to such Transocean Group member the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment, and (iv) the sum payable by such Company Group member to such Transocean Group member shall be increased by such
additional sums as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings of taxes (including deductions and withholdings of taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.1.5), such Transocean Group
member receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings of taxes been made. 

  
 10 








 4.1.6 The applicable Company Group member shall be responsible for and
shall indemnify and hold harmless Provider and its Affiliates against all excise, sales, use, transfer, stamp, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar taxes, and any value added, goods and services or similar recoverable indirect and
other similar taxes (“Transfer Taxes”) imposed on or assessed as a result of the provision of Services by the applicable Transocean Group member. The applicable Transocean Group member shall provide to the applicable Company
Group member evidence of the remittance of the amount of such Transfer Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, copies of any tax returns remitting such amount. 

4.1.7 The Parties shall cooperate and take all commercially reasonable actions to minimize withholding taxes and
Transfer Taxes imposed on payments made pursuant to this Agreement.

the performance of Services hereunder (the “Third Party Costs”), such Transocean Group member shall include the amount of those Third Party Costs, at cost without charging the Services Fee or including any other mark-up thereon
unless required by applicable Transfer Pricing Rules (as determined in Provider’s reasonable discretion), in the next Invoice and the applicable Company Group member shall pay such amounts to the applicable Transocean Group member pursuant to
Section 4.1.4. 
 4.3 Discounts and Benefits. For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the calculation of
the Costs and Expenses or the Third Party Costs hereunder, Provider shall disclose and credit to the applicable member of the Company Group, its respective share of any discounts, commissions and other benefits received by Provider or any of its
employees from third parties as a consequence of the provision of the Services.

Group’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be (i) to make a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 5.3 (if available), (ii) to have the Service (or relevant portion) reperformed, without having to reimburse Provider
for its direct internal cost of such reperformance, (iii) to withhold payment for such Service or (iv) to the extent applicable, to have the right to terminate the Agreement under Section 7.1(c). The Company Group may pursue

Company Group shall not rely on any Service rendered by or on behalf of Provider or its Affiliates for such professional advice or opinions; and notwithstanding the Company Group’s receipt of any proposal, recommendation or suggestion in any
way relating to tax, legal, treasury, finance, intellectual property, employment or any other subject matter, the Company Group shall seek all third-party professional advice and opinions as it may desire or need, and in any event the Company Group
shall be solely responsible for and assume all risks associated with the Services, except to the limited extent set forth in this Article 5; and, with respect to any software or documentation within the Services, the Company Group 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. 
 5.1.3 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 members of the Company Group. 

5.1.4 Without limiting the generality of any other provision hereof, none of Provider nor its Affiliates shall have any
liability or responsibility for any loss of or damage to any of the Company Rigs or any related equipment or parts, which such liability, responsibility and risk shall be for the account of the Company and its Affiliates, Regardless of Cause.

 5.4 Indemnification Procedures.  

5.4.1 Third-Party Claim. The Company Group member’s indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 5.2
and Provider’s indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 5.3, 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: 

(a) The Indemnified Party shall, with reasonable promptness after the Indemnified Party has notice of a Claim, (1) 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 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 5 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.

 (b) 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 5.4.1(b) shall apply (but not otherwise) and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, at its sole cost and expense (if the Indemnified 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 5.4.1(b). 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 5.4.1(b). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.4.1(b) 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. 

  
 14 








 (c) 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 5.4.1(b), then this
Section 5.4.1(c) 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 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 5.4.1(c). 
 (d)
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.4.1 to the contrary, to the extent (1) 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 5 and (B) such dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnifying Party’s defense pursuant to
Section 5.4.1(b) or the Indemnified Party’s defense pursuant to Section 5.4.1(c), and the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all of those costs and expenses. 

5.4.2 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 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 5. 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. The provisions of this Section 5.4 are in all cases subject to the limitations set forth in Sections
5.2, 5.3 and 5.5 and elsewhere in this Agreement. 
 5.5 LIMITATION ON
DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, IN

DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING

the Exhibits referenced or attached hereto, together with the Master Services Agreement dated [            ] among [            ]

other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The Parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss
