 The Service Receiver acknowledges and agrees that, except as may be expressly set forth herein as
a Service (including additional Services to be provided pursuant to Section 2.3 below), no member of the Service Provider Group shall be obligated to provide, or cause to be provided, any service or goods to any member of the Service Receiver

prior to the Effective Date. It is understood and agreed that the employees of the Service Provider and the other members of the Service Provider Group performing the Services are not professional providers to third parties of the types of services
included in the Services and that Service Provider Group employees performing Services have other responsibilities and will not be dedicated full-time to performing Services hereunder. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 2.5, NO
REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY 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
APPLICABLE SERVICE PROVIDER OR ANY MEMBER OF THE SERVICE PROVIDER GROUP WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS, ALL SUCH REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY
WAIVED AND DISCLAIMED, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE, BY THE APPLICABLE SERVICE RECEIVER.

applicable Schedules hereunder in one or more statements (the “Monthly Statements”) prepared by the applicable Service Provider or one or more of its Affiliates and in the form set forth in Exhibit C hereto (with Noble as
Service Provider) or Exhibit D hereto (with Paragon as Service Provider). The recipient of such invoice shall make the corresponding payment no later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the Monthly Statement. Each Monthly

 9 

 
Provider or one or more of its Affiliates incurs any out-of-pocket expenses (including any incremental license fees incurred by the Service Provider in connection with the performance of the
Services and any travel expenses incurred at the request or with the consent of the Service Receiver) or remits funds to a third party on behalf of the Service Receiver, in either case in connection with the rendering of the Services, then the
Service Provider or one or more of its Affiliates shall include such amount on a Monthly Statement to the Service Receiver, with reasonable supporting documentation, and the Service Receiver shall reimburse that amount to the Service Provider or its
Affiliate (as applicable) pursuant to this Section 4.1 as part of its next monthly payment. In the event there is any dispute with respect to a Monthly Statement, the Service Receiver shall make the payment for all non-disputed portions in

is determined that the Service Receiver is entitled to a refund of amounts actually paid by the Service Receiver hereunder, the Service Provider or its Affiliate (as applicable) shall pay the Service Receiver such overpaid amount with interest at
the Late Interest Rate. 
 Any amount due from the Service Receiver 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. 

The Service Receiver 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 Provider or its Affiliates as a result of the provision of Services under this Agreement. The Service Receiver 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 Receiver 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. 

Section 4.2 Reconciliation of Expenses. As expenses to provide the Services may be reconciled over
time, the reconciled amounts (together with interest at the Late Interest Rate from the date such amounts were due and payable to a Party had the reconciliation not been required until the date such amounts are actually paid to such Party, if
applicable), shall be included in the next applicable Monthly Statement.

 ARTICLE VI 

DISCONTINUATION OF SERVICES

in this Agreement or the Schedules hereto, the Service Receiver may, upon thirty (30) calendar days’ advance written notice to the Service Provider, elect to discontinue any individual Service from time to time or this Agreement in its
entirety; provided, that any discontinuation of any Service will not affect the amounts payable to the Service Provider hereunder unless (and then only to the extent that) the charges for the discontinued Services are separately identified in
this Agreement or the applicable Schedule. The Service Receiver shall be liable to the Service Provider for all costs and expenses the Service Provider or any member of the Service Provider Group remains obligated to pay in connection with any
discontinued Service or Services, except in the case of a Service terminated by the Service Receiver pursuant to clause (ii) of the first sentence of Section 7.1. 

ARTICLE VII

pay for Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) of a failure of the Service Provider to perform, or cause to be performed, the Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, which failure described in clause
(ii) above results or could reasonably result in a material adverse impact on the applicable Business of the Service Receiver, then in the case of either clause (i) or clause (ii) the
non-defaulting Party shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement if the defaulting Party has (A) failed to cure the default within forty five (45) days of receipt of the
written notice of default or, (B) if such default is not reasonably susceptible to cure within a 45-day period, failed to take action within forty five (45) days of receipt of the written notice of default reasonably designed to cure such

	 	(C)	Indemnification Procedures. 

  

	 	(i)	Third-Party Claim. The indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 8.1(A) for each Party as a Service Receiver and the indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 8.1(B) for each party as a
Service Provider, 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(C)(i)(2) shall apply (but not otherwise) and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, at its sole 

  
 13 

	 	
cost and expense (if it is determined that 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 8.1(C)(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(C)(i)(2). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.1(C)(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(C)(i)(2), then this Section 8.1(C)(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(C)(i)(3). 

  
 14 

	 	(4)	Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.1(C)(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 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 8.1(C)(i)(2) or the Indemnified Party’s defense pursuant to Section 8.1(C)(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(C) 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

forth in Exhibit B for rigs outside of Brazil or with respect to rigs in transport described in Exhibit B. At the request of the Service Recipient, the Service Provider also shall provide the Services hereunder in respect of any
additional Noble Rig operating under a New Noble Charter. At all times during the performance of the Services, all Persons performing such Services (including agents, temporary employees, independent third parties and consultants) shall be construed
as being independent from the Noble Group, and no such Person shall be considered or deemed to be an employee of any member of the Noble Group nor entitled to any employee benefits of any member of the Noble Group as a result of this Agreement. No
actions of Service Provider employees who are solely associated with the business of Paragon shall be included in the Services. All of such services described in this Section 2.1 are collectively referred to herein as the
“Services”. 
 Section 2.2 Service Coordinators. Each of the Noble Group and the Paragon Group will nominate a
representative to act as the primary contact with respect to the provision of the Services as contemplated by this Agreement (the “Service Coordinators”). The initial Noble

relating to this Agreement other than those day-to-day communications and billings relating to the actual provision of the Services shall be directed to the Service Coordinators in accordance with Section 11.4 hereof. The Service Coordinators
shall meet as expeditiously as possible to resolve any dispute hereunder; and any dispute that is not resolved by the Service Coordinators within forty-five (45) calendar days shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution
procedures set forth in Section 11.3. Each of the Noble Group and the Paragon Group may treat an act of a Service Coordinator of the other Group which is consistent with the provisions of this Agreement as being authorized by such other Group
without inquiring behind such act or ascertaining whether such Service Coordinator had authority to so act; provided, however, that no such Service Coordinator shall have authority to amend this Agreement. Unless otherwise provided herein,
the Noble Group and the Paragon Group shall advise each other promptly (in any case no more than seven Business Days) in writing of any change in their respective Service Coordinators, setting forth the name of the replacement, and stating that the
replacement Service Coordinator is authorized to act for such Group in accordance with this Section 2.2, provided that any new or replacement Paragon Group Service Coordinator shall be subject to the approval of the Noble Group (such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld). 
 Section 2.3 Third-Party Services. Without the prior written consent of the Noble Group
Service Coordinator, the Service Provider shall not have the right to hire third-party subcontractors to provide all or part of any Service hereunder unless (i) the service to be so subcontracted was previously performed by a third-party prior
to the Effective Date or (ii) the Paragon Group will also use such third-party subcontractor to provide such service for its own rigs in Brazil and the subcontracting will not increase the cost of the service to the Noble Group. The Paragon
Group Service Coordinator will provide to the Noble Group Service Coordinator all reasonably requested information regarding any such third-party subcontractors. 

Section 2.4 Standard of Performance. The Services to be provided hereunder shall be performed in accordance with good oilfield
practice for offshore drilling and at the higher of (i) the level and general degree of care provided when the Service Provider and its Affiliates performed such Services within the Noble Group organization prior to the Effective Date and
(ii) any service levels required under the Local Services Agreements. To the extent reasonably possible, the Service Provider shall maintain the crews employed on the Noble Rigs that provided the Services prior to the Effective Date;
provided, however, that the Service Provider shall be entitled to terminate any such employees that are a part of such crews in its sole discretion. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 2.4, NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY
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
SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS, ALL SUCH REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY WAIVED AND DISCLAIMED, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE.

Agreement or a Schedule for a specific Service, the Service Provider shall be required to provide, or cause to be provided, the Services only at the fixed office locations from which the Services were provided prior to the Effective Date and will
not be required to open any additional offices. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or a Schedule for a specific Service, in providing, or causing to be provided, the Services, the Service Provider shall not be obligated to maintain the
employment of any specific employee. The Service Recipient acknowledges (respectively on its own behalf and on behalf of the other members of the Noble Group) that the employees of the Service Provider or any other members of the Paragon Group who
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
Parties nor any Affiliate of any Party shall be required to undertake any actions that would or may place such Party or Affiliate in violation of any Governmental Requirements (including, without limitation, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act) and
(b) the Service Provider acknowledges receipt from the Service Recipient of Noble’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Business Code”), and the Service Provider agrees to comply, and to cause any Affiliate or
Permitted Subcontractor performing any Services to comply, with the Business Code and other governance or other policies of the Noble Group, as they may be amended from time to time, throughout the Service Provider’s performance 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.

respective employees, representatives, facilities, premises and other equipment and books and records as the Service Recipient and its representatives may reasonably require in order to, among other things, monitor the performance of the Services,
verify the calculations of the Charges (as defined below) and any other payments due to Service Provider hereunder, verify compliance with the standards of conduct set forth in Section 2.6 above; and (b) the Service Recipient will provide
the Service Provider and its authorized representatives such access to the Service Recipient and any other member of the Noble Group and their respective employees, representatives, facilities, premises, rigs and other equipment and books and
records as the Service Provider and its representatives may reasonably require in order to perform the Services or fulfill their respective obligations hereunder. The Parties agree that they will retain their books and records during the period set

 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 D hereto. Service 

  
 8 

 
Recipient (as specified in the 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

  
 9 

 
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 or any
amounts collected under the Local Services Agreements that relate to periods prior to the Effective Date were in excess of the amounts needed by the Service Provider for such periods, Noble Cayman may, in its sole discretion, require the Service
Provider to offset such amounts against the Charges to be paid hereunder in the next applicable Monthly Statement or promptly refund such amounts. 

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 D, 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 

  
 10 

 
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.

prior notice from, or any excess payment by, the Service Recipient. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Service Recipient will also have the right to terminate all or any portion of the Services with respect to any Noble Rig prior to the end of the

	 	(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 

  
 15 

	 	
cost and expense (if it is determined that 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 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 

  
 16 

	 	
Indemnified Party under this Article VIII 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 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 

  
 17 

 
PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND (B) IN PURSUING ANY REMEDY FOR 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, 

  
 18 

	 	
recommendation or suggestion in any way relating to tax, legal, treasury, 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.

Schedules attached hereto 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

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 Schedules attached hereto are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

 22 

 Section 11.13 Construction. This Agreement shall be construed as if jointly drafted
by the Service Provider and the Service Recipient and, except as set forth in this Section 11.13, no rule of construction or strict interpretation shall be applied against any Party.
