of such Offeror relating to the Offered Assets and reasonably requested by the Offeree. 
 (b) As soon as practicable, but in
any event, within 60 calendar days after receipt of the Offer, the Offeree shall notify the Offeror in writing that either:

advisor, as applicable, will be divided equally between the Offeror and the Offeree. 
 (iii) Upon receipt of such
determination, the Offeree will have the right, but not the obligation: 
 (A) to purchase the Offered Assets for fair
market value (taking into account, among other things, the anticipated cash flows under the associated drilling contracts), acquisition price or Construction Price, as applicable, and in each case including any applicable Break-up Costs, and on the
other terms determined by the investment banking firm, rig broker or other expert advisor, as soon as commercially practicable after determinations have been made; or

any rights of first refusal and similar agreements of the parties to such agreements to purchase the Offered Assets. The Offeror hereby covenants and agrees to use its reasonable efforts to obtain any such consents required to be obtained by it in
connection with the transfer of the Offered Assets pursuant to this Article IV; provided, however, that in obtaining any antitrust or competition-related regulatory consent, nothing in this Agreement shall require any Transocean
Entity or Company Group Member to dispose of any of its assets, limit its freedom of action with respect to any of its businesses or consent to any disposition of its assets or limits on its freedom of action with respect to any of its businesses.

 (f) In determining the fair market value, as applicable, and/or other terms in accordance with Section 4.1(c),
the investment banking firm, rig broker or other expert advisor: (i) shall determine only those items upon which the Parties have not agreed, (ii) shall assume that all other terms of the transaction are the terms upon which the Parties
agree, (iii) shall take into account, among other things, the anticipated cash flows under the drilling contract(s) associated with the Offered Assets, (iv) shall apply no discount for illiquidity or minority interests; (v) shall have

failure of such Company Group Member, immediately after the Closing Date, to be the owner of such valid leasehold interests or fee ownership interests in and to the applicable Contribution Assets as are necessary to enable such Company Group Member
to own and operate the applicable Contribution Assets in substantially the same manner that such Contribution Assets were owned and/or operated by the applicable Transocean Entities immediately prior to the respective dates on which each such
Contribution Asset was acquired by such Company Group Member, (ii) without limiting the generality of the other provisions hereof, any judicial determination substantially to the effect that the Transocean Entity that Transferred any
Contribution Asset to such Company Group Member pursuant to the Contribution Agreement did not receive reasonably equivalent value in exchange therefor or was rendered insolvent by reason of such Transfer or (iii) the failure of such Company
Group Member to have by the Closing Date any consent or governmental permit necessary to allow such Company Group Member to own or operate the applicable Contribution Assets in substantially the same manner that such Contribution Assets were owned
and/or operated by the applicable Transocean Entities immediately prior to the respective dates on which each such Contribution Asset was acquired by such Company Group Member, in each of clauses (b)(i) and (b)(iii) above, to the
extent that Transocean is notified by the Company of such Liabilities within three years after the Closing Date; (c) all Tax liabilities attributable to the ownership and operation of the applicable Contribution Assets prior to the Closing
Date, including any such Tax liabilities of the applicable Transocean Entities that may result from the consummation of the formation transactions for such Company Group Member to the extent that Transocean is notified by the Company of any such Tax
liabilities within the applicable statute of limitations plus 60 days, but excluding any Taxes reserved on the books of such Company Group Member on the Closing Date; and (d) lost revenues arising out of the failure of such Company Group Member
to receive an operating dayrate from Chevron for Discoverer Clear Leader, up to $100 million, for the period commencing on the Closing Date through the date of completion of the scheduled 2014 special periodic survey.

 Section 7.2 Macondo Well Incident and Related Matters. Subject to the provisions of
Sections 7.3 and 7.4, Transocean Inc. shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company Group from and against (i) any Liabilities (other than Taxes) arising out of the Macondo well incident that occurred in the U.S. Gulf of
Mexico on April 20, 2010 (to the extent such Liabilities arising out of the Macondo well incident arose prior to the Closing Date) and (ii) any Liabilities (other than Taxes) arising out of the failure of any of the Transocean Entities to
comply with (x) the Consent Decree, (y) the EPA Agreement or (z) any similar decree or agreement that requires any Company Group Member to comply with requirements and that arises out of the Macondo well incident. For the avoidance of
doubt, such indemnity (i) shall be limited to any Liabilities arising out of (x) the affiliation of the Company Group and its assets with the Transocean Entities or (y) the involvement, if any, of the Company Group and its assets in
the Macondo well incident and (ii) specifically shall not include any Liabilities arising from any Law or customer requests or requirements or otherwise generally applicable to other drilling contractors. 

Section 7.3 Limitation Regarding Indemnification. 

(a) The aggregate liability of Transocean under Section 7.1(a) above shall not exceed $10,000,000. Furthermore, no
claim may be made against Transocean for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1(a), unless the aggregate dollar amount of all claims for indemnification pursuant to such section shall exceed $500,000, in which case Transocean shall be
liable for claims for indemnification only to the extent such aggregate amount exceeds $500,000. Any claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1(a) contained on Schedule 7.3 are not subject to the limitations in this
Section 7.3(a). 
 (b) IN NO EVENT SHALL
ANY PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION HEREUNDER COVER OR INCLUDE ANY
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, 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 VII. 

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, there is no monetary cap on the amount of indemnity coverage provided by any indemnifying party
under Sections 7.1(b), 7.1(c) and 7.2. 
 (d) THE FOREGOING
INDEMNITIES ARE INTENDED TO BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST THE PARTIES IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE EXPRESS TERMS AND SCOPE THEREOF NOTWITHSTANDING ANY EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE
RULE OR ANY SIMILAR DIRECTIVE THAT WOULD PROHIBIT OR OTHERWISE LIMIT
INDEMNITIES BECAUSE OF THE SOLE, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY OR FAULT OF ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES. 

  
 23 







 Section 7.4 Indemnification Procedures. 

(a) The Parties entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (the “Indemnified
Parties”) agree that within a reasonable period of time after they become aware of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII, they will provide notice thereof in writing to the
Party against whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim.  

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect
to) any claims brought against the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates that are covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article VII, including the selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and
the settling of any such matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such settlement shall be entered into without the consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the Indemnified Party unless it
includes a full release of the Indemnified Party from such matter or issues, as the case may be. 
 (c) The Indemnified
Parties agree to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party with respect to all aspects of the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article VII, including the prompt furnishing to the Indemnifying Party of
any correspondence or other notice relating thereto that the Indemnified Parties may receive, permitting the names of the Indemnified Parties to be utilized in connection with such defense, the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any
files, records or other information of the Indemnified Parties that the Indemnifying Party considers relevant to such defense and the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any employees of the Indemnified Parties; provided,
however, that in connection therewith Indemnifying Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the Indemnified Parties and further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records and
other information furnished by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 7.4. In no event shall the obligation of the Indemnified Parties to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence be
construed as imposing upon the Indemnified Parties an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection with the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article VII; provided, however, that the
Indemnified Parties may, at their own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such defense. The Indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the Indemnified Parties reasonably informed as to the
status of any such defense (including providing such counsel with such information related to any such defense as such counsel may reasonably request) but the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain sole control over such defense. 

In determining the amount of any Liabilities for which any Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this
Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (a) any insurance proceeds realized by the Indemnified Parties, and such correlative insurance benefit shall be net of any incremental insurance premium that becomes due and
payable by the Indemnified Parties as a result of such claim, (b) all amounts recovered by the Indemnified Parties under contractual indemnities from third Persons, and (c) any Liabilities occurring after such time as any Indemnified Party
became aware of such violations, events or conditions and, with the exercise of reasonable diligence or effort, such Liabilities could have been mitigated. The 

  
 24 







 
Indemnified Parties hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to realize any applicable insurance proceeds or amounts recoverable under such contractual indemnities; provided,
however, that the costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Indemnified Parties in connection with such efforts shall be promptly reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party in advance of any determination
of whether such insurance proceeds or other amounts will be recoverable.

deemed to be delivered at the time of mail room receipt, if sent by mail or hand delivery, by the time of successful transmission, if sent by fax, or on the read receipt email if sent by email. 

Section 9.2 Construction Rules. 

(a) A reference to an Article, Section or Schedule shall mean an Article or Section of, or a Schedule to, this Agreement unless
otherwise explicitly set forth. The titles and headings herein are for reference purposes only and shall not in any manner limit the construction of this Agreement which shall be considered as a whole. 

(b) The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used in this Agreement shall be deemed
in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” 
 (c) The words “hereof,”
“herein” and “herewith” and words of similar import will, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. 

(d) The word “or” when used in this Agreement will not be exclusive. 

  
 25 







 (e) Words in the singular when used in this Agreement will be held to include the
plural. 
 (f) Unless specifically stated otherwise, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement or required to be paid
pursuant to this Agreement are expressed in and shall be paid in United States Dollar funds. 
 Section 9.3 Binding Effect;
Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective legal representatives and successors. Neither Party may assign its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement without the consent
of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 Section 9.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede all prior written and oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements and understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof. 

Section 9.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of
Texas (except that the provisions of Article VII shall instead be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales) without regard to principles of conflicts of laws thereof that would result in the application of
the laws of any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 9.6 Counterparts. This Agreement, including the documents referred to herein, may
be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. 

Section 9.7 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and is not intended to confer
upon any other Person, except for any Person entitled to indemnification under Article VII. 
 Section 9.8 Severability. If any
term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a nonappealable decision by a court, administrative agency or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and
provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party. Upon such
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
possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible. If any sentence in this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so
broad as is enforceable. 
 Section 9.9 Failure or Indulgence Not Wavier; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part
of any Party in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such
right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement or the Exhibits attached hereto are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. 

  
 26 







 Section 9.10 Amendment. No change or amendment will be made to this Agreement except
by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties; provided, however, that the Company may not, without the prior approval of the Conflicts Committee, agree to any amendment or modification of this Agreement that, in
the reasonable discretion of the Board, will adversely affect the holders of common units of the Company. 
 Section 9.11 Specific
Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the Party or the Parties who are or are to be thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific
performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of their rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all 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 and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements
for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived. 
 Section 9.12 Construction. This Agreement shall be
construed as if jointly drafted by the Parties and, except as set forth in this Section 9.12, no rule of construction or strict interpretation shall be applied against any Party. THE PARTIES
EACH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT WERE DETERMINED IN
THE CONTEXT OF A PARENT-SUBSIDIARY RELATIONSHIP AND ARE NOT INTENDED
TO BE COMPARABLE TO TERMS THE COMPANY GROUP COULD HAVE OBTAINED FROM
AN UNAFFILIATED THIRD PARTY. 
 Section 9.13 Relationship of
Parties. Each Company Group Member understands and agrees that the Transocean Entities’ relationship to such Company Group Member under this Agreement is strictly a contractual arrangement on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, that no fiduciary, trust, partnership, joint venture, agency or advisory relationship exists between any Transocean Entity and such Company Group Member and that such Company Group Member hereby waives any and all rights that it may
otherwise have under applicable Law to make any claims or take any action against any Transocean Entity or any of its Affiliates based on any theory of agency, fiduciary duty, relationship of trust or other special standard of care. 

Section 9.14 Further Assurances. From time to time, each Party agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents, and will
provide such additional information and assistance as either Party may reasonably require to carry out the terms of this Agreement. 

Section 9.15 Termination. Upon a Change of Control of TPHL or of the Company, the provisions of Articles II, III,
IV, V and VI applicable to the Company shall terminate immediately. Upon a Change of Control of Transocean, the provisions of Articles II, III, IV, V and VI applicable to Transocean shall
terminate at the time that is the later of (a) the date on which all of the Company’s outstanding Subordinated Units (as defined in the LLC Agreement) have converted to Common Units (as defined in the LLC Agreement) and (b) the date
of the Change of Control of Transocean. The Parties agree that Article VII and any limitations on liability or responsibility and any exculpatory, disclaimer, waiver or similar provisions will survive the termination of this Agreement. 

  
 27 







 Section 9.16 Further Assurances. From time to time, each Party agrees to execute and
deliver such additional documents, and will provide such additional information and assistance as either Party may reasonably require to carry out the terms of this Agreement. 

Section 9.17 Forum for Disputes. Any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement must be instituted
in a state or federal court located in the State of Texas (assuming such court has jurisdiction). The Parties waive any objections they may have to such venue and irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such action, suit or
proceeding. 
 Section 9.18 Compliance with Transocean Agreements and Policies. 

(a) So long as the Transocean Entities collectively own at least 50% of the membership interests in the Company, the Company,
for itself and on behalf of all other Company Group Members, covenants and agrees that it will not take or fail to take any action or enter into any commitment or agreement which may reasonably be anticipated to result, with or without notice and
with or without lapse of time or otherwise, in a breach, contravention or default by it or any of its Affiliates of (i) any provisions of applicable Law, including provisions pertaining to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, (ii) any provision of Transocean’s Articles of Association or Organizational Regulations, (iii) any provision of Transocean’s Code of Integrity or (iv) any credit
agreement, indenture or other material agreement (including agreements relating to covenants not to compete) binding upon Transocean, Transocean Inc. or any other Transocean Entity. 

(b) The Company and Transocean agree to provide to each other any information and documentation requested by the other for the
purpose of evaluating and ensuring compliance with Section 9.18(a).
