that BHI reasonably requests in order to determine the amount of Taxes due on any Payment Date with respect to a Joint Return. J. Ray U.S. shall provide such information no later than 15 Business Days before such Payment Date. In the event that J.
Ray U.S. fails to provide information within the time period described in this Section 3.1(b)(ii) in the form reasonably requested by BHI to permit the timely payment of such Taxes, the indemnification principles of Section 3.1(b)(i) shall
apply with respect to any penalties, interest or other payments assessed against any member of either Group by reason of any resulting delay in paying such Taxes. 

(iii) Assistance. At the written request of BHI, J. Ray U.S. shall take (at its own cost and
expense), and shall cause the members of the J. Ray Group to take (at their own cost and expense), any reasonable action (e.g., filing a ruling request with the relevant Tax Authority or executing a limited power of attorney) that is
reasonably necessary in order for BHI or any other member of the B&W Group to prepare, file, amend or take any other action with respect to a Joint Return. In the event that J. Ray U.S. fails to take, or cause to be taken, any such requested
action, the indemnification principles of Section 3.1(b)(i) shall apply with respect to any penalties, interest or other payments assessed against any member of either Group by reason of a failure to take any such requested action.

(i) allocate Tax Items between a Joint Return and any related Separate Return for which J. Ray U.S. is responsible pursuant to Section 3.2(a) that are filed with respect to the same Tax Year in a manner that is consistent with the
reporting of such Tax Items on such related Separate Return and (ii) make any applicable elections required under applicable Tax Law (including, without limitation, under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)) necessary to effect
such allocation.

provide to the Preparer any information about members of the Non-Preparer’s Group that the Non-Preparer then has in its possession, or that is then in the possession of its Group, and that the Preparer reasonably requests in order to properly
and timely file all Separate Returns for which the Preparer is responsible pursuant to Section 3.2(a) or (b). Such information shall be provided within the time period prescribed by Section 3.1(b) for the provision of information for Joint
Returns. In the event that the Non-Preparer fails to provide information within the time period described in Section 3.1(b) and in the form reasonably requested by the Preparer to permit the timely filing of a Separate Return, the
indemnification principles of Section 3.1(b)(i) shall apply with respect to any penalties, interest or other payments assessed against any member of either Group by reason of any resulting delay in filing such return.

prepared and filed, including the elections, methods of accounting, positions, conventions and principles of taxation to be used, and the manner in which any Tax Item shall be reported, (ii) whether any extensions

shall cooperate (and shall cause their Affiliates to cooperate) so as to permit MII to discharge any applicable Tax withholding and Tax reporting obligations, including the appointment of BHI or one or more of its Affiliates as the withholding and
reporting agent if MII or one or more of its Affiliates is not otherwise required or permitted to withhold and report under applicable Tax Law.

Adjustments. The initial determination of the amount of any payment that one Party is required to make to another under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of the Tax Return as filed, or, if the Tax to which the payment relates is not
reported in a Tax Return, on the basis of the amount of Tax initially paid to the Tax Authority. The amounts paid under this Agreement will be redetermined, and additional payments relating to such redetermination will be made, as appropriate, if as

business day, as of 11:00 a.m. New York, NY time on the first business day following the Due Date). Such rate shall be redetermined at the beginning of each calendar quarter following such Due Date. Such interest will be payable at the same time as
the payment to which it relates and shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days for which due. 

Section 4.5 Payments by or to Other Group Members. When appropriate under the circumstances to reflect the
underlying liability for a Tax or entitlement to a Tax refund or Tax Benefit, a payment which is required to be made by or to J. Ray U.S. or BHI may be made by or to another member of the J. Ray Group or the B&W Group, as appropriate, but
nothing in this Section 4.5 shall relieve J. Ray U.S. or BHI of its obligations under this Agreement.

to be made by one Party to the other Party pursuant to this Article IV shall be made by electronic, same day wire transfer. Payments shall be deemed made when received. If the indemnifying Party fails to make a payment to the indemnified Party
within the time period set forth in this Article IV, the indemnifying Party shall pay to the indemnified Party, in addition to interest that accrues pursuant to Section 4.4, any costs or expenses, including any breakage costs, incurred by the
indemnified Party to secure such payment or to satisfy the indemnifying Party’s portion of the obligation giving rise to the indemnification payment. 

Section 4.7 Tax Consequences of Payments. For all Tax purposes and to the extent permitted by applicable Tax Law,
the Parties shall treat any payment made pursuant to this Agreement as a capital contribution by BHI to J. Ray U.S. or a distribution by J. Ray U.S. to BHI, as the case may be, immediately prior to the Internal Distribution. If any such payment (or
portion thereof) causes, directly or indirectly, an increase in the Taxes owed by the recipient (or any of the members of its Group) under one or more applicable Tax Laws through withholding or otherwise, the payor’s payment obligation (or
portion thereof) under this Agreement shall be grossed up to take into account any additional Taxes that may be owed by the recipient (or any of the members of its Group) as a result of such payment. In the event that a Tax Authority asserts that J.
Ray U.S.’s or BHI’s treatment of a payment pursuant to this Agreement should be other than as required pursuant to this Section 4.7, J. Ray U.S. or BHI, as appropriate, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to contest such
assertion.

with Tax matters, including provision of relevant documents and information in their possession and making available to each other, as reasonably requested and available, personnel (including officers, employees and agents of the Parties or their

Group to) cooperate and use reasonable efforts to assist the Requesting Party in obtaining, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, a Supplemental Tax Opinion from Tax Counsel. Within 30 Business Days after receiving an invoice from the other
Party therefor, the Requesting Party shall reimburse such Party for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Party and the members of its Group in connection with obtaining or requesting a Supplemental Ruling or in connection with
assisting the Requesting Party in obtaining a Supplemental Tax Opinion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, J. Ray U.S. shall not be required to file any Supplemental IRS Submission unless BHI represents to J. Ray U.S. that (i) it has reviewed the
Supplemental IRS Submission and (ii) all information and representations, if any, relating to any member of the B&W Group contained in the Supplemental IRS Submissions are true, correct and complete in all material respects.

 ARTICLE VI 

TAX RECORDS 

Section 6.1 Retention of Tax Records. Each of J. Ray U.S. and BHI shall preserve, and shall cause the members of
its Group to preserve, all Tax Records that are in its possession or in the possession of any member of its Group, and that could affect the liability of any member of the other Group for Taxes, for as long as the contents thereof may become
material in the administration of any matter under applicable Tax Law, but in any event until the later of (i) the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitation, as extended and (ii) 7 years after the Internal Distribution Date.

member of the J. Ray Group or with respect to a Tax Contest relating to such return. J. Ray U.S. shall make available, and cause the members of the J. Ray Group to make available, to members of the B&W Group for inspection and copying that
portion of any Tax Record in their possession at the time of any request therefor that relates to Tax Years that begin on or before the Internal Distribution Date and which is reasonably necessary for the preparation of a Joint Return or Separate

 (a) J. Ray U.S. and BHI shall hold and shall cause the members of the
J. Ray Group and the B&W Group, respectively, to hold, and shall each cause their respective officers, employees, accountants, counsel, consultants, advisors and agents to hold, in strict confidence and not to disclose or release without the
prior written consent of the other Party, any and all Confidential Information (as defined herein); provided, that the Parties may disclose, or may permit disclosure of, Confidential Information (i) as may be necessary in connection with the
filing of Tax Returns or any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes, to their respective accountants, auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other appropriate consultants and advisors who have a need to know such
information and are informed of their obligation to hold such information confidential to the same extent as is applicable to the Parties and in respect of whose failure to comply with such obligations, J. Ray U.S. or BHI, as the case may be, will
be responsible or (ii) to the extent any member of the J. Ray Group or the B&W Group is compelled to disclose any such Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or, in the opinion of legal counsel, by other requirements
of law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made pursuant to clause (ii) above, J. Ray U.S. or BHI, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other of the
existence of such request or demand and shall provide the other a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, which both Parties will cooperate in seeking to obtain. In the event that such appropriate protective
order or other remedy is not obtained, the Party whose Confidential Information is required to be disclosed shall or shall cause the other Party to furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally
required to be disclosed. As used in this Section 6.3, “Confidential Information” shall mean all proprietary, technical or operational information, data or material of one Party which, prior to or following the Internal Distribution
Date, has been disclosed by J. Ray U.S. or members of the J. Ray Group, on the one hand, or BHI or members of the B&W Group, on the other hand, in written, oral (including by recording), electronic, or visual form to, or otherwise has come into
the possession of, the other, including pursuant to the access provisions of Section 3.1(b), Section 3.2(c), Section 6.2 or Section 7.3 hereof or any other provision of this Agreement or by virtue of employees of one Group
becoming employees of the other Group as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Master Separation Agreement (except to the extent that such Information can be shown to have been (a) in the public domain through no fault of such Party
(or, in the case of J. Ray U.S., any other member of the J. Ray Group or, in the case of BHI, any other member of the 

 

 12 

 
B&W Group) or (b) later lawfully acquired from other sources by the Party (or, in the case of J. Ray U.S., such member of the J. Ray Group or, in the case of BHI, such member of the
B&W Group) to which it was furnished; provided, however, in the case of (b) that such sources did not provide such Information in breach of any confidentiality obligations). 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) J. Ray U.S. and the other members
of the J. Ray Group, on the one hand, and BHI and the other members of the B&W Group, on the other hand, shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations hereunder with respect to Confidential Information if they exercise the same degree of
care (but no less than a reasonable degree of care) as they take to preserve confidentiality for their own similar Information and (ii) confidentiality obligations provided for in any agreement between J. Ray U.S. or any other member of the J.
Ray Group, or BHI or any other member of the B&W Group, on the one hand, and any employee of J. Ray U.S. or any other member of the J. Ray Group, or BHI or any other member of the B&W Group, on the other hand, shall remain in full force and
effect. Confidential Information of J. Ray U.S. or any other member of the J. Ray Group, on the one hand, or BHI or any other member of the B&W Group, on the other hand, in the possession of and used by the other as of the Internal Distribution
Date may continue to be used by such Person in possession of the Confidential Information in and only in the operation of such Person’s business, and may be used only so long as the Confidential Information is maintained in confidence and not
disclosed in violation of this Section 6.3. Such continued right to use may not be transferred to any third party unless the third party purchases all or substantially all of the business and assets of J. Ray U.S. or BHI, or any asset of J. Ray
U.S. or BHI in which the relevant Confidential Information is used or employed, in one transaction or in a series of related transactions, and such prospective purchaser executes a written agreement with J. Ray U.S. or BHI, as the case may be (which
agreement shall be fully and directly enforceable by J. Ray U.S. or BHI, respectively), in which such Party agrees to be bound in perpetuity by the terms of this Section 6.3. 

ARTICLE VII 
 TAX
CONTESTS

or threatened Tax audit, assessment, proceeding or other Tax Contest of which it becomes aware relating to (i) Taxes for which it may be indemnified by the other Party hereunder, (ii) the qualification of the Internal Distribution as a
tax-free transaction described under Sections 368(a)(1)(D) and 355 of the Code, (iii) the qualification of the F Reorganization as a tax-free transaction described under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, (iv) the qualification of the

Related Separation Transactions. Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any
Tax Authority in respect of any such matters. If (i) an indemnified Party has knowledge of an asserted Tax liability with respect to a matter for which it is to be indemnified hereunder, (ii) such Party fails to give the indemnifying Party
prompt notice of such asserted Tax liability and (iii) the indemnifying Party has the right, pursuant to Section 7.2, to control the Tax Contest relating to such Tax liability, then (A) if the indemnifying Party is precluded from
contesting the asserted Tax liability as a result of the failure to give prompt notice, the indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the indemnified Party for any Taxes arising out of such asserted Tax liability and (B) if the
indemnifying Party is not precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability, but such failure to give prompt notice results in a monetary detriment to the indemnifying Party, then any amount which the indemnifying Party is otherwise required to
pay the indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of such detriment. 

Section 7.2 Control of Tax Contests. 

(a) General Rule. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.2, each Party shall be the

Joint Return. J. Ray U.S. shall be the Controlling Party with respect to any Tax Contest involving a Tax reported on a Joint Return where such Tax relates exclusively to a member of the J. Ray Group.

any Tax Benefit it utilizes to reduce Taxes pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i), unless BHI is required to pay J. Ray U.S. for the use of such Tax Benefit pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii). 

(d) Non-Controlling Party Participation Rights. With respect to a Tax Contest of any Tax Return
which involves a Tax liability for which the Non-Controlling Party may be liable, or a Tax Benefit to which the Non-Controlling Party may be entitled, under this Agreement, (i) the Non-Controlling Party shall, at its own cost and expense, be
entitled to participate in such Tax Contest, (ii) the Controlling Party shall keep the Non-Controlling Party reasonably informed and consult in good faith with the Non-Controlling Party and its Tax advisors with respect to any issue relating to
such Tax Contest, (iii) the Controlling Party shall provide the Non-Controlling Party with copies of all correspondence, notices and other written materials received from any Tax Authority and shall otherwise keep the Non-Controlling Party and
its Tax advisors advised of significant developments in the Tax Contest and of significant communications involving representatives of the Tax Authority, (iv) the Non-Controlling Party may request that the Controlling Party take a position in
respect of such Tax Contest, and the Controlling Party shall do so provided that (A) there exists substantial authority for such position (within the meaning of the accuracy-related penalty provisions of Section 6662 of the Code) and
(B) the adoption of such position would not reasonably be expected to increase the Taxes or reduce the Tax Benefits allocated to the Controlling Party pursuant to Article II of this Agreement (unless the Non-Controlling Party agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Controlling Party from such increase in Taxes or reduction in Tax Benefits), (v) the Controlling Party shall provide the Non-Controlling Party with a copy of any written submission to be sent to a Taxing
Authority prior to the submission thereof and shall give serious and good faith consideration to any comments or suggested revisions that the Non-Controlling Party or its Tax advisors may have with respect thereto and (vi) there will be no
settlement, resolution or closing or other agreement with respect thereto without the consent of the Non-Controlling Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

Section 7.3 Cooperation. At the written request of the Controlling Party, the Non-Controlling Party shall provide
to the Controlling Party any information about members of the Non-Controlling Party’s Group that the Non-Controlling Party then has in its possession, or that is then in the possession of its Group, and that the Controlling Party reasonably
requests in order to handle, settle or contest the Tax Contest. At the request of the Controlling Party, the Non-Controlling Party shall take any action (e.g., executing a limited power of attorney) that is reasonably necessary in order for the
Controlling Party to handle, settle or contest the Tax Contest. BHI shall assist J. Ray U.S., and J. Ray U.S. shall assist BHI, in taking any remedial actions that are necessary or desirable to minimize the effects of any adjustment made by a Tax
Authority. The Controlling Party shall reimburse the Non-Controlling Party for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in complying with this Section 7.3. The Controlling Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the
Non-Controlling Party for any additional Taxes resulting from the Tax Contest, if the Non-Controlling Party fails to cooperate in accordance with this Section 7.3.

External Distribution qualifying, or preclude the External Distribution from qualifying, as a tax-free transaction (except with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares) described under Section 355 of the Code or (iv) would be
inconsistent with the treatment of the Related Separation Transactions, or that would increase any tax imposed on the parties thereto.

VIII, following the Effective Time, BHI shall not, and shall cause the members of the B&W Group not to, and J. Ray U.S. shall not, and shall cause the members of the J. Ray Group not to, take any action that, or fail to take any action the

 Section 9.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple
counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 

Section 9.7 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 9.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the
substantive laws of the State of Texas, without regard to any conflicts of law provisions thereof that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. 

Section 9.9 Performance Guarantees. J. Ray U.S. and BHI shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantee the
performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates. 

Section 9.10 Construction. This Agreement shall be construed as if jointly drafted by J. Ray U.S. and BHI and no
rule of construction or strict interpretation shall be applied against either Party. In this Agreement, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, words used in the singular include the plural and words used in the plural include the singular;
and if a word or phrase is defined in this Agreement, its other grammatical forms, as used in this Agreement, shall have a corresponding meaning. Whenever the context requires, the gender of all words used in this Agreement includes the masculine,
feminine and the neuter. Unless the context otherwise requires, the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation,” and the word “or”
shall have the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” The words “shall” and “will” are used interchangeably in this Agreement and have the same meaning. Relative to the determination of any period of time
hereunder, “from” means “from and including,” “to” means “to but excluding” and “through” means “through and including.” All references herein to a specific time of day in this Agreement
shall be based upon Central Standard Time or Central Daylight Savings Time, as applicable, on the date in question. Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, such number shall refer to calendar days unless Business Days are specified. As
used in this Agreement, the words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “hereto” and words of similar import shall be deemed references to this Agreement as a whole and not to any
particular Section or other provision of this Agreement. The titles to Articles and headings of Sections contained in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to be a part of or to affect the
meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 Section 9.11 Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL
ANY MEMBER OF THE J. RAY GROUP OR THE B&W GROUP OR THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES BE LIABLE FOR ANY EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, REMOTE OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING IN RESPECT OF LOST PROFITS OR
REVENUES), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 

Section 9.12 Termination. 

(a) This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Internal Distribution Date by and in the
sole discretion of J. Ray U.S. without the approval of BHI. In the event of termination pursuant to this Section 9.12, neither Party shall have any liability of any kind to the other Party under this Agreement. 

 

 16 

 (b) This Agreement shall otherwise terminate at such time as
all obligations and liabilities of the Parties have been satisfied. The obligations and liabilities of the Parties arising under this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until all such obligations have been satisfied and such
liabilities have been paid in full, whether by expiration of time, operation of law or otherwise. 
 Section
9.13 Authority. Each of the Parties represents to the other that (a) it has the corporate or other requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, (b) the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by it has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other actions, (c) it has duly and validly executed and delivered this Agreement on or prior to the Internal Distribution Date and (d) this Agreement creates legal,
valid and binding obligations, enforceable against it in accordance with its respective terms subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general
equity principles. 
 Section 9.14 Predecessors or Successors. Any reference to J. Ray U.S., BHI, MII, a
Person or a Subsidiary in this Agreement shall include any predecessors or successors (e.g., by merger or other reorganization, liquidation or conversion) of J. Ray U.S., BHI, MII, such Person or such Subsidiary, respectively. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, BHI (not McDermott Investments, LLC) shall be the successor to McDermott Incorporated.

 TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT 

This TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (together with the Schedules hereto, this “Agreement”) is entered into as of
[                    ], 2010, by and between McDermott International, Inc., a Panamanian corporation (“McDermott”), and The
Babcock & Wilcox Company, a Delaware corporation (“B&W”). 
 WHEREAS, the Board of
Directors of McDermott has determined that it would be appropriate and desirable for McDermott to distribute (the “Distribution”) on a pro rata basis to the holders of outstanding shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of
McDermott all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of B&W owned by McDermott;

dated as of the date hereof (the “Master Separation Agreement”), which provides, among other things, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, for the separation of the respective businesses of McDermott and B&W and the
Distribution, and the execution and delivery of certain other agreements, including this Agreement, in order to facilitate and provide for the foregoing; and 

WHEREAS, in order to provide for an orderly transition under the Master Separation Agreement, it will be advisable for
McDermott, through members of the MII Group, to provide to B&W certain services described herein for a transitional period. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and for other

 ARTICLE II 

SERVICES 

Section 2.1 Services. 

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, McDermott, acting directly and/or
through its Affiliates and their respective employees, agents, contractors or independent third parties designated by any of them, agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or to cause to be provided services to the B&W Group as
set forth in the Schedules (including any Additional Services provided in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof, all such services are collectively referred to herein as the “Services”). 

(b) 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 B&W Group, and such Persons shall not be considered or deemed to be employees of any member of the B&W Group nor
entitled to any employee benefits of B&W as a result of this Agreement. The responsibility of such Persons is to perform the Services in accordance with this Agreement and, as necessary, to advise the applicable member of the B&W Group in
connection therewith, and such Persons shall not be responsible for decision-making on behalf of any member of the B&W Group. Such Persons shall not be required to report to management of any member of the B&W Group nor be deemed to be under
the management or direction of any member of the B&W Group. B&W acknowledges and agrees that, except as may be expressly set forth herein as a Service (including any Additional Services provided in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof) or
otherwise expressly set forth in the Master Separation Agreement or an Ancillary Agreement, no member of the MII Group shall be obligated to provide, or cause to be provided, any service or goods to any member of the B&W Group. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, McDermott and members of the MII Group
shall not be required to perform Services hereunder or take any actions relating thereto that conflict with or violate any applicable law, contract, license, authorization, certification or permit or McDermott’s Code of Business Conduct or
other governance policies, as they may be amended from time to time. 
 Section 2.2 Service Coordinators.
Each party will nominate in writing a representative to act as the primary contact with respect to the provision of the Services and the resolution of disputes under this Agreement (each such person, a “Service Coordinator”). The initial
Service Coordinators shall be [            ] and [            ] (or their designated delegates) for each of McDermott and
B&W, respectively. 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 45 days shall be resolved in accordance with the
dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article V of the Master Separation Agreement. Each party hereto may treat an act of a Service Coordinator of the other party hereto which is consistent with the provisions of this Agreement as being
authorized by such other party 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. McDermott and B&W shall advise each other promptly (in any case no more than three 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 party in accordance with this Section 2.2. 

Section 2.3 Additional Services. B&W may request additional Services (the “Additional Services”)
from McDermott by providing written notice. Upon the mutual written agreement as to the nature, cost, duration and scope of such Additional Services, McDermott and B&W shall supplement in writing the Schedules hereto to include such Additional
Services. Subject to the other limitations in this Agreement, including the provisions in 
  

 2 

 
Section 2.6, but notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3, in addition to providing the Services specified in the Schedules, McDermott, acting directly and/or
through its Affiliates and their respective employees, agents, contractors or independent third parties designated by any of them, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or to cause to be provided additional, de minimis administrative
support services to the B&W Group as may be requested by any member of the B&W Group from time to time, at no cost beyond the amounts set forth in the Schedules (as the amounts set forth in the Schedules contemplate such additional, de
minimis administrative support services); provided, however, that, for any such additional services to be considered de minimis for purposes of this sentence, such additional services shall not require the attention of (i) any one employee of
any member of the McDermott Group for more than 2 hours in any single calendar month or (ii) any group of employees of any one or more members of the McDermott Group for more than 30 hours in any single calendar month. Except where the context
otherwise indicates or requires, any such additional services referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be “Services” under this Agreement. 

Section 2.4 Third Party Services. McDermott shall have the right to hire third-party subcontractors to provide all
or part of any Service hereunder; provided, that McDermott shall consult in good faith with B&W regarding the proposed hiring of any third-party subcontractor that has not previously been involved in the activities relating to such Service prior
to the date hereof; provided, further, that, in the event such subcontracting is inconsistent with the practice applied by McDermott generally from time to time within its own organization, McDermott shall give notice to B&W of its intent to
subcontract any portion of the Services and B&W shall have 20 days (or such lesser period set forth in the notice as may be practicable in the event of exigent circumstances) to determine, in its sole discretion, whether to permit such
subcontracting or whether to cancel such Service in accordance with Article VI hereof. If B&W opts to cancel a Service pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, it shall not be liable to McDermott pursuant to Section 6.1 for any costs
or expenses McDermott or any member of the MII Group remains obligated to pay to the third-party subcontractor identified in the notice provided by McDermott as described above. McDermott shall not be required to give notice of its intent to
subcontract Services to any party listed on Exhibit 2.4 hereto, nor shall B&W have any right to cancel any Service subcontracted to any such listed party pursuant to this Section 2.4 (provided, that this sentence shall not prevent B&W
from cancelling any Service pursuant to Section 6.1). 
 Section 2.5 Standard of Performance; Limitation
of Liability. 
 (a) The Services to be provided hereunder shall be performed with the same
general degree of care, at the same general level and at the same general degree of accuracy and responsiveness, as when performed within the McDermott organization (including, for this purpose, B&W and its subsidiaries) prior to the date of
this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that McDermott and the members of the MII Group are not professional providers of the types of services included in the Services and that McDermott personnel performing Services have other responsibilities
and will not be dedicated full-time to performing Services hereunder. 
 (b) In the event
McDermott or any member of the MII Group fails to provide, or cause to be provided, the Services in accordance with the standard of service set forth in Section 2.5(a) or Section 2.5(c), the sole and exclusive remedy of B&W shall be,
at B&W’s sole discretion, within 90 days from the date that McDermott or such member of the MII Group first fails to provide such Service, to not pay for such Service; provided that in the event McDermott defaults in the manner
described in clause (ii) of Section 7.1, B&W shall have the further rights set forth in Article VII. 

(c) 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, OR CONFORMITY TO ANY REPRESENTATION OR DESCRIPTION), ARE MADE BY MCDERMOTT OR ANY MEMBER OF THE MII GROUP WITH RESPECT TO THE
SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SUCH REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY WAIVED AND DISCLAIMED. B&W (ON 

 

 3 

 
ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF EACH OTHER MEMBER OF THE B&W GROUP) HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT B&W OR ANY MEMBER OF THE B&W GROUP MAY OTHERWISE HAVE FOR ANY LOSSES, 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 MCDERMOTT OR ANY MEMBER OF THE MII GROUP
UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, NOTWITHSTANDING THE NEGLIGENCE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT OR ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) OF MCDERMOTT OR ANY MEMBER OF THE MII GROUP OR ANY THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER AND WHETHER DAMAGES ARE
ASSERTED IN CONTRACT OR TORT, UNDER FEDERAL, STATE OR NON U.S. LAWS OR OTHER STATUTE OR OTHERWISE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER SHALL NOT EXTEND TO COVER, AND MCDERMOTT SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, SUCH LOSSES CAUSED BY THE WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT OF MCDERMOTT OR ANY MEMBER OF THE MII GROUP. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MII GROUP BE LIABLE TO THE B&W GROUP WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR AMOUNTS IN
THE AGGREGATE EXCEEDING THE AGGREGATE SERVICE CHARGES PAID HEREUNDER BY THE B&W GROUP. 
 Section 2.6
Service Boundaries and Scope. Except as provided in a Schedule for a specific Service: (a) McDermott shall be required to provide, or cause to be provided, the Services only at the locations such Services are being provided by any member
of the MII Group for any member of the B&W Group immediately prior to the Distribution Date; provided, however, that, to the extent any such Service is to be provided by an employee of McDermott who works in the corporate headquarters of
McDermott, such Service shall, to the extent feasible, only be provided by such employee from the corporate headquarters of McDermott; and (b) the Services shall be available only for purposes of conducting the business of the B&W Group
substantially in the manner it was conducted immediately prior to the Distribution Date. Except as provided in a Schedule for a specific Service, in providing, or causing to be provided, the Services, McDermott shall not be obligated to:
(i) maintain the employment of any specific employee or hire additional employees or third-party service providers; (ii) purchase, lease or license any additional equipment (including computer equipment, furniture, furnishings, fixtures,
machinery, vehicles, tools and other tangible personal property), software or other assets, rights or properties; (iii) make modifications to its existing systems or software; (iv) provide any member of the B&W Group with access to any
systems or software other than those to which it has authorized access immediately prior to the Distribution Date; or (v) pay any costs related to the transfer or conversion of data of any member of the B&W Group. B&W acknowledges (on
its own behalf and on behalf of the other members of the B&W Group) that the employees of McDermott or any other members of the MII Group who may be assisting in the provision of Services hereunder are at-will employees and, as such, may
terminate or be terminated from employment with McDermott or any of the other members of the MII Group providing Services hereunder at any time for any reason. In no event shall McDermott or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective employees
or agents be required to perform any Services or take any other actions hereunder that conflict with any applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt and except as may hereafter be designated as Additional Services in accordance with Section 2.3,
the Services do not include any services required for or as the result of any business acquisitions, divestitures, start-ups or terminations by the B&W Group. To the extent B&W desires McDermott to provide any services in connection with any
such acquisitions, divestitures, start-ups or terminations, B&W shall follow the procedures for requesting Additional Services pursuant to Section 2.3. 

Section 2.7 Cooperation. McDermott and B&W shall cooperate with one another and provide such further
assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the provision of Services hereunder. 

Section 2.8 Transitional Nature of Services; Changes. Subject to Sections 2.3 and 2.5, the parties acknowledge the
transitional nature of the Services and that McDermott may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services. 
  

 4 

 Section 2.9 Access. During the term of this Agreement and for so long
as any Services are being provided to B&W by McDermott, B&W will provide McDermott and its authorized representatives reasonable access, during regular business hours upon reasonable notice, to B&W and its employees, representatives,
facilities and books and records as McDermott and its representatives may reasonably require in order to perform such Services. 

ARTICLE III 

SERVICE CHARGES 

Section 3.1 Compensation. Subject to the specific terms of this Agreement, the compensation to be received by
McDermott for each Service provided hereunder will be the fees set forth on the Schedule relating to the particular Service, subject to any escalation provided for on such Schedule. In consideration for the provision of a Service, each member of the
B&W Group receiving such Service shall pay to McDermott or, at the election of McDermott, the member of the MII Group providing such Service, the applicable fee for such Service as set forth on the attached Schedules. 

ARTICLE IV 

PAYMENT 

Section 4.1 Payment. Except as otherwise provided in a Schedule for a specific Service, charges for Services shall
be invoiced monthly by McDermott or, at its option, the member of the MII Group providing the Service. Except as otherwise provided in a Schedule for a specific Service, B&W shall make the corresponding payment no later than 60 days after
receipt of the invoice. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, B&W shall remit funds in payment of invoices provided hereunder either by wire transfer or ACH (Automated Clearing House) in accordance with the payment instructions set forth
in Schedule 4.1. Each invoice shall be directed to the B&W Service Coordinator or such other person designated in writing from time to time by such Service Coordinator. The invoice shall set forth in reasonable detail the Services rendered and
the invoice amount for the Services rendered for the period covered by such invoice. Interest will accrue on any unpaid amounts at ten percent (10%) per annum (compounded monthly) or, if less, the maximum non-usurious rate of interest permitted
by applicable law, until such amounts, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, are paid in full. All timely payments under this Agreement shall be made without early payment discount. Any preexisting obligation to make payment for
Services provided hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement. If McDermott incurs any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including any incremental license fees incurred by McDermott in connection with performance of the Services and
any travel expenses incurred at the request or with the consent of B&W) or remits funds to a third-party on behalf of B&W, in either case in connection with the rendering of Services, then McDermott shall include such amount on its monthly
invoice to B&W, with reasonable supporting documentation, and B&W shall reimburse that amount to McDermott pursuant to this Section 4.1 as part of its next monthly payment. 

Section 4.2 Payment Disputes. B&W may object to any amounts for any Service at any time before, at the time
of, or after payment is made, provided such objection is made in writing to McDermott within 120 days following the date of the disputed invoice. B&W shall timely pay the disputed items in full while resolution of the dispute is pending;
provided, however, that McDermott shall pay interest at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum (compounded monthly) on any amounts it is required to return to B&W upon resolution of the dispute. Payment of any amount shall not constitute
approval thereof. The Service Coordinators shall meet as expeditiously as possible to resolve any dispute. Any dispute that is not resolved by the Service Coordinators within 45 days shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution and
arbitration procedures set forth in Article V of the Master Separation Agreement. Neither party (or any member of its respective Group) shall have a right of set-off against the other party (or any member of its respective Group) for billed
amounts hereunder. Upon written request, McDermott will provide to B&W reasonable detail and support documentation to permit B&W to verify the accuracy of an invoice. 

 

 5 

 Section 4.3 Review of Charges; Error Correction. McDermott shall
maintain accurate books and records (including invoices of third parties) related to the Services sufficient to calculate, and allow B&W to verify, the amounts owed under this Agreement. From time to time until 120 days following the termination
of this Agreement, B&W shall have the right to review, and McDermott shall provide access to, such books and records to verify the accuracy of such amounts, provided that such reviews shall not occur more frequently than once per calendar
quarter. Each such review shall be conducted during normal business hours and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the operations of McDermott. If, as a result of any such review, B&W determines that it overpaid any amount to
McDermott, then B&W may raise an objection pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2. B&W shall bear the cost and expense of any such review. McDermott shall make adjustments to charges as required to reflect the discovery of errors or
omissions in charges. 
 Section 4.4 Taxes. All transfer taxes, excises, fees or other charges (including
value added, sales, use or receipts taxes, but not including a tax on or measured by the income, net or gross revenues, business activity or capital of a member of the MII Group), or any increase therein, now or hereafter imposed directly or
indirectly by law upon any fees paid hereunder for Services, which a member of the MII Group is required to pay or incur in connection with the provision of Services hereunder (“Tax”), shall be passed on to B&W as an explicit surcharge
and shall be paid by B&W in addition to any Service fee payment, whether included in the applicable Service fee payment, or added retroactively. If B&W submits to McDermott a timely and valid resale or other exemption certificate acceptable
to McDermott and sufficient to support the exemption from Tax, then such Tax will not be added to the Service fee payable pursuant to Article III; provided, however, that if a member of the MII Group is ever required to pay such Tax, B&W will
promptly reimburse McDermott for such Tax, including any interest, penalties and attorney’s fees related thereto. The parties will cooperate to minimize the imposition of any Taxes. 

Section 4.5 Records. McDermott shall maintain true and correct records of all receipts, invoices, reports and such
other documents relating to the Services hereunder in accordance with its standard accounting practices and procedures, consistently applied. McDermott shall retain such accounting records and make them available to B&W’s authorized
representatives and auditors for a period of not less than one year from the close of each fiscal year of McDermott; provided, however, that McDermott may, at its option, transfer such accounting records to B&W upon termination of this
Agreement. 
 ARTICLE V 

TERM 

Section 5.1 Term. Subject to Articles VI and VII, the MII Group shall provide the specific Services to the B&W
Group pursuant to this Agreement for the time period set forth on the Schedule relating to the specific Service. In accordance with the Master Separation Agreement and Article VI of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in a Schedule for a
specific Service, B&W shall undertake to provide to itself and members of the B&W Group, and to terminate as soon as reasonably practicable, the Services provided to the B&W Group hereunder. Except as otherwise provided in a Schedule for
a specific Service or group of related Services, all Services provided for hereunder shall terminate on March 31, 2011. Except as otherwise expressly agreed or unless sooner terminated, this Agreement shall commence upon the Distribution Date
and shall continue in full force and effect between the parties for so long as any Service set forth in any Schedule hereto is being provided to B&W or members of the B&W Group and this Agreement shall terminate upon the cessation of all
Services provided hereunder; provided that Articles I, IV, VIII, IX and XI and Section 2.5(c) will survive the termination of this Agreement and any such termination shall not affect any obligation for the payment of Services rendered prior to
termination.

 ARTICLE VI 

DISCONTINUATION OF SERVICES 

Section 6.1 Discontinuation of Services. Unless otherwise provided in the relevant Schedule for a particular
Service, at any time after the Distribution Date, B&W may, without cause and in accordance with the terms and conditions hereunder and the Master Separation Agreement, request the discontinuation of one or more specific Services by giving
McDermott at least 30 days’ prior written notice; provided, however, that any such discontinuation will not affect the amounts payable to McDermott hereunder unless (and then only to the extent that) the charges for the discontinued Services
have been separately identified in the applicable Schedule. B&W shall be liable to McDermott for all costs and expenses McDermott or any member of the MII Group remains obligated to pay in connection with any discontinued Service or Services,
except in the case of a Service terminated by B&W pursuant to clause (ii) of the first sentence of Section 7.1 hereof. The parties shall cooperate as reasonably required to effectuate an orderly and systematic transfer to the B&W
Group of all of the duties and obligations previously performed by McDermott or a member of the MII Group under this Agreement. 

Section 6.2 Procedures Upon Discontinuation or Termination of Services. Upon the discontinuation or termination of
a Service hereunder, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect with respect to such Service, except as otherwise provided in a Schedule for a specific Service and except as to obligations accrued prior to the date of discontinuation or
termination; provided, however, that Articles I, IV, VIII, IX and XI and Section 2.5(c) of this Agreement shall survive such discontinuation or termination. Each party and the applicable member(s) of its respective Group shall, within 60
days after discontinuation or termination of a Service, deliver to the other party and the applicable member(s) of its respective Group originals of all books, records, contracts, receipts for deposits and all other papers or documents in its
possession which pertain exclusively to the business of the other party and relate to such Service; provided that a party may retain copies of material provided to the other party pursuant to this Section 6.2 as it deems necessary or
appropriate in connection with its financial reporting obligations or internal control practices and policies. 
 ARTICLE VII

 DEFAULT 

Section 7.1 Termination for Default. In the event (i) of a failure of B&W to pay for Services in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) any party shall default, in any material respect, in the due performance or observance by it of any of the other terms, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, then (1) if
the non-defaulting party is McDermott, McDermott shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to immediately terminate the Service with respect to which the default occurred, and (2) if the non-defaulting party is B&W, B&W shall have
the right, at its sole discretion, to immediately terminate the Service with respect to which the default occurred, in either case if the defaulting party has failed to cure the default within 30 days of receipt of the written notice of such
default. B&W’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Article VII and the rights set forth in Section 2.5 shall constitute B&W’s sole and exclusive rights and remedies for a breach by McDermott hereunder (including
any breach caused by an Affiliate of McDermott or other third party providing a Service hereunder). 
 ARTICLE VIII 

INDEMNIFICATION AND WAIVER 

Section 8.1 Waiver of Consequential Damages. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
FOR ANY EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, 
  

 7 

 
CONSEQUENTIAL, REMOTE OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING IN RESPECT OF LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE) ARISING
IN ANY WAY OUT 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 AGREEMENT, THE MASTER SEPARATION AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT. 
 Section
8.2 Services Received. B&W hereby acknowledges and agrees that: 
 (a) the Services to
be provided hereunder are subject to and limited by the provisions of Section 2.5, Article VII and the other provisions hereof, including the limitation of remedies available to B&W that restricts available remedies resulting from a Service
not provided in accordance with the terms hereof to non-payment and, in certain limited circumstances, the right to terminate this Agreement; 

(b) the Services are being provided solely to facilitate the transition of B&W to a separate company
as a result of the Distribution, and McDermott and its Affiliates do not provide any such Services to non-Affiliates; 

(c) it is not the intent of McDermott and the other members of the MII Group to render, nor of B&W and
the other members of the B&W Group to receive from McDermott and the other members of the MII Group, professional advice or opinions, whether with regard to tax, legal, treasury, finance, employment or other business and financial matters, or
technical advice, whether with regard to information technology or other matters; B&W shall not rely on, or construe, any Service rendered by or on behalf of McDermott as such professional advice or opinions or technical advice; and B&W
shall seek all third-party professional advice and opinions or technical advice as it may desire or need, and in any event B&W shall be responsible for and assume all risks associated with the Services, except to the limited extent set forth in
Section 2.5 and Article VII; 
 (d) with respect to any software or documentation within the
Services, B&W 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; and 

(e) a material inducement to McDermott’s agreement to provide the Services is the limitation of
liability and the release provided by B&W in this Agreement. 
 ACCORDINGLY, EXCEPT WITH
REGARD TO THE LIMITED REMEDIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, B&W SHALL ASSUME ALL LIABILITY FOR AND SHALL FURTHER RELEASE, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD MCDERMOTT, ANY MEMBER OF THE MII GROUP AND THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND
AGENTS (ALL AS INDEMNIFIED PARTIES) FREE AND HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL LOSSES RESULTING FROM, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES, HOWSOEVER ARISING AND WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF MCDERMOTT, ANY MEMBER
OF THE MII GROUP OR ANY THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER, OTHER THAN THOSE LOSSES CAUSED BY THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF MCDERMOTT OR ANY MEMBER OF THE MII GROUP. 

Section 8.3 Express Negligence. THE INDEMNITY, RELEASES AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY 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 NOTWITHSTANDING ANY EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE RULE OR ANY SIMILAR DIRECTIVE THAT WOULD PROHIBIT OR OTHERWISE LIMIT
INDEMNITIES BECAUSE OF THE NEGLIGENCE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT OR ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) OR OTHER FAULT OR STRICT LIABILITY OF ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

Section 9.1 Confidentiality. B&W and McDermott each acknowledge and agree that the terms of Section 6.9
of the Master Separation Agreement shall apply to information, documents, plans and other data made available or disclosed by one party to the other in connection with this Agreement. B&W and McDermott each acknowledge and agree that any third
party Information (to the extent such Information does not constitute McDermott Books and Records) provided by any member of the B&W Group to any member of the MII Group after the Distribution Date in connection with the provision of the
Services by any member of the MII Group, or generated, maintained or held in connection with the provision of the Services by any member of the MII Group after the Distribution Date, in each case that primarily relates to the B&W Business, the
B&W Assets, or the B&W Liabilities, shall not be considered Privileged Information of McDermott or Confidential Information of McDermott. 

Section 9.2 System Security. 

(a) If any party hereto is given access to the other party’s computer systems or software
(collectively, the “Systems”) in connection with the Services, the party given access (the “Availed Party”) shall comply with all of the other party’s system security policies, procedures and requirements that have been
provided to the Availed Party in advance and in writing (collectively, “Security Regulations”), and shall not tamper with, compromise or circumvent any security or audit measures employed by such other party. The Availed Party shall access
and use only those Systems of the other party for which it has been granted the right to access and use. 

(b) Each party hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that only those of its personnel
who are specifically authorized to have access to the Systems of the other party gain such access, and use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access, use, destruction, alteration or loss of information contained therein,
including notifying its personnel of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement and of the Security Regulations. 

(c) If, at any time, the Availed Party determines that any of its personnel has sought to circumvent, or
has circumvented, the Security Regulations, that any unauthorized Availed Party personnel has accessed the Systems, or that any of its personnel has engaged in activities that may lead to the unauthorized access, use, destruction, alteration or loss
of data, information or software of the other party hereto, the Availed Party shall promptly terminate any such person’s access to the Systems and immediately notify the other party hereto. In addition, such other party hereto shall have the
right to deny personnel of the Availed Party access to its Systems upon notice to the Availed Party in the event that the other party hereto reasonably believes that such personnel have engaged in any of the activities set forth above in this
Section 9.2(c) or otherwise pose a security concern. The Availed Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other party hereto in investigating any apparent unauthorized access to such other party’s Systems.

 ARTICLE X 

FORCE MAJEURE 

Section 10.1 Performance Excused. Continued performance of a Service may be suspended immediately to the extent
caused by any event or condition beyond the reasonable control of the party suspending such performance (and not involving any willful misconduct of such party), including acts of God, pandemics, floods, fire, earthquakes, labor or trade
disturbances, strikes, war, acts of terrorism, civil commotion, electrical shortages or blackouts, breakdown or injury to computing facilities, compliance in good faith with any Law (whether or not it later proves to be invalid), unavailability of
materials or bad weather (a “Force Majeure Event”). B&W shall not be obligated to pay any amount for Services that it does not receive as a result of a Force Majeure Event (and 

 

 9 

 
the parties hereto shall negotiate reasonably to determine the amount applicable to such Services not received). In addition to the reduction of any amounts owed by B&W hereunder, during the
occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, to the extent the provision of any Service has been disrupted or reduced, during such disruption or reduction, (a) B&W may replace any such affected Service by providing any such Service for itself or
engaging one or more third parties to provide such Service at the expense of B&W and (b) McDermott shall cooperate with, provide such information to and take such other actions as may be reasonably required to assist such third parties to
provide such substitute Service. 
 Section 10.2 Notice. The party claiming suspension due to a Force
Majeure Event will give prompt notice to the other of the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event giving rise to the suspension and of its nature and anticipated duration. 

Section 10.3 Cooperation. Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the parties shall cooperate with each
other to find alternative means and methods for the provision of the suspended Service. 
 ARTICLE XI 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 11.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the documents referenced herein (including the Master
Separation Agreement), constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior written and oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements and understandings with
respect to the subject matter hereof. To the extent any provision of this Agreement conflicts with the provisions of the Master Separation Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to control with respect to the subject matter
hereof. 
 Section 11.2 Binding Effect; No Third-Party Beneficiaries; Assignment. This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other person or entity any rights, benefits or
remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be assigned by either party hereto, except with the prior written consent of the other party hereto. 

Section 11.3 Amendment; Waivers. No change or amendment may be made to this Agreement except by an instrument in
writing signed on behalf of both of the parties hereto. Either party hereto may, at any time, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations
and warranties of the other contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (iii) waive compliance by the other with any of the agreements, covenants or conditions contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid
only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. No failure or delay on the part of either party hereto 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, covenant or agreement contained herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. 

Section 11.4 Notices. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices, claims, certificates, requests,
demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be duly given (i) when personally delivered or (ii) if mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, on the date the
return receipt is executed or the letter is refused by the addressee or its agent or (iii) if sent by overnight courier which delivers only upon the signed receipt of the addressee, on the date the receipt acknowledgment is executed or refused
by the addressee or its agent or (iv) if sent by facsimile or electronic mail, on the date confirmation of transmission is received (provided that a copy of any notice delivered pursuant to this clause (iv) shall also be sent pursuant to
clause (i), (ii) or (iii)), addressed to the attention of the addressee’s General Counsel at the address of its principal executive office or to such other address or facsimile number for a party hereto as it shall have specified by like
notice. 
  

 10 

 Section 11.5 Counterparts. This Agreement, including the Schedules
hereto and the other documents referred to herein, may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 

Section 11.6 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement or the 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 hereto. 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 11.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the
substantive laws of the State of Texas, without regard to any conflicts of law provisions thereof that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. 

Section 11.8 Performance. Each party hereto shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of,
all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by any Subsidiary or Affiliate of such party. 

Section 11.9 Relationship of Parties. This Agreement does not create a fiduciary relationship, partnership, joint
venture or relationship of trust or agency between the parties. The parties hereto agree that McDermott (and any other member of the MII Group which performs Services hereunder) is an independent contractor in the performance of Services for the
B&W Group under this Agreement. 
 Section 11.10 Regulations. All employees of McDermott and the
members of the MII Group shall, when on the property of B&W, conform to the rules and regulations of B&W concerning safety, health and security which are made known to such employees in advance in writing. 

Section 11.11 Construction. This Agreement shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the parties hereto and no
rule of construction or strict interpretation shall be applied against either party. In this Agreement, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, words used in the singular include the plural and words used in the plural include the singular;
and if a word or phrase is defined in this Agreement, its other grammatical forms, as used in this Agreement, shall have a corresponding meaning. Whenever the context requires, the gender of all words used in this Agreement includes the masculine,
feminine and the neuter. Unless the context otherwise requires, the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation,” and the word “or”
shall have the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” The words “shall” and “will” are used interchangeably in this Agreement and have the same meaning. Relative to the determination of any period of time
hereunder, “from” means “from and including,” “to” means “to but excluding” and “through” means “through and including.” All references herein to a specific time of day in this Agreement
shall be based upon Central Standard Time or Central Daylight Savings Time, as applicable, on the date in question. Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, such number shall refer to calendar days unless Business Days are specified. Any
reference herein to any Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule means such Article or Section of, or such Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement, as the case may be, and references in any Section or definition to any clause means such clause of such
Section or definition. As used in this Agreement, the words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “hereto” and words of similar import shall be deemed references to this Agreement as a
whole and not to any particular Section or other provision of this Agreement. The titles to Articles and headings of Sections contained in this Agreement, in any Exhibit or Schedule and in the table of contents to this Agreement have been inserted
for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

the extent specifically agreed by the parties and neither party shall have any liability or further obligation to the other party under this Agreement.
