 Dear Costas, 
 Marlborough Software Development Holdings Inc. (“MSDH”) is pleased to
formally offer you the position of Vice President of Engineering, reporting to Pinhas Romik, MSDH’s President and Chief Executive Officer (subject to the terms and conditions herein, the “Offer”). 

You will be paid on a bi-weekly basis, at a rate of $7,615.38 per pay period. For purposes of determining your life insurance benefits, which MSDH will
provide you; this amount is the equivalent of an annual base salary of $198,000. All employment is “at will” and not for any definite period of time. Furthermore, nothing in this letter should be construed as a contract of employment or
any type of guarantee of employment for any specified duration. 
 You will be generally eligible to participate in the MSDH Equity Incentive
Plan and receive grants of equity compensation as may be approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of MSDH from time to time and at their discretion, though the Compensation Committee has not formulated any definitive plans
relative to this at this time. You will be eligible for our standard benefits package, as it may be determined or modified from time to time. This currently includes, upon election, contributory comprehensive medical and dental coverage, effective

 MSDH hereby agrees to assume, effective as of the date of the spin-off (“Spin-Off”) of MSDH to the
shareholders of Bitstream pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 10, 2011, between Bitstream, Monotype Imaging Holdings, Inc. and Birch Acquisition Corporation (the “Merger Agreement”) all rights and obligations
of Bitstream under the Severance Agreement by and between Bitstream and Costas Kitsos dated as of April 15, 2010 (the “Severance Agreement”). By signing below you acknowledge and agree to such agreement and assumption by MSDH as of
such date. MSDH and you hereby agree to amend the Severance Agreement, as so assumed, as of the Spin-Off date, to extend the current term of the Severance Agreement until April 15, 2014. For the avoidance of doubt, as of the effective date of
such assumption by MSDH, all provisions of the Severance Agreement, including those related to automatic renewals, shall remain and are in full force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the Spin-Off date the Severance Agreement shall
remain in effect and shall be applicable to Bitstream and its subsidiaries as a whole, and to you as an executive officer of Bitstream. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, by signing below, as of the effective date of assumption of the Severance Agreement by Bitstream, you hereby waive and
release your right to payment of any Severance Benefits (as defined in the Severance Agreement) under the Severance Agreement as a result of any of the following circumstances (the “Excluded Circumstances”) (i) as a result of the
termination of your employment by Bitstream or by you in connection with joining MSDH and/or the Spin-Off and (ii) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement including the Spin-Off, including, without limitation,
any claim that your employment with Bitstream has been or will be terminated or that the position and terms of your employment as described in this Offer, or any change in your rights and responsibilities as an employee of MSDH and not of Bitstream,
would otherwise permit you to resign for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Severance Agreement) or constitute an actual or constructive termination by Bitstream without cause, all of which claims are hereby released and waived as against
MSDH and Bitstream. Bitstream is an intended third party beneficiary of such waiver and release. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, other than as
set forth above, the Severance Agreement, as so assumed, remains in full force and effect and you shall be entitled to any and all Severance Benefits under the conditions set forth in the Severance Agreement upon any future Change in Control of MSDH
which is unrelated to the Merger Agreement, the Spin-Off and the transactions contemplated thereby. The parties agree that upon the effective date of the assumption of the Severance Agreement by MSDH, all references to the “Company”
therein shall be deemed to refer to MSDH and not Bitstream. 
 Additionally, effective upon the date of the Spin-Off, and in the absence of a
Change of Control transaction relative to MSDH under the Severance Agreement, in the event that your employment by MSDH is terminated by MSDH without Cause (as defined in the Severance Agreement) or you resign your employment for “Good
Reason” (as defined in the Severance Agreement) (other than the Excluded Circumstances) within thirty (30) of any event that constitutes Good Reason and has not been cured by MSDH within ten (10) days of written notice

thereof to MSDH, you shall be entitled to receive severance equal to the severance to which you would be entitled under the Severance Agreement as though a Change in Control had occurred. In the
event that you become entitled to severance under the Severance Agreement following a Change in Control of MSDH, this paragraph shall not apply and you shall only receive your severance under the Severance Agreement. The severance provisions set
forth in this paragraph shall expire on April 15, 2014. After such date, your severance benefits absent a Change in Control shall be in accordance with the then effective MSDH severance policy for executive officers or such other severance
benefits as shall have been granted to you by the Company in writing. While any such benefits would be determined on a discretionary basis, it is the current intention of the MSDH to define and implement a general executive severance policy prior to
April 15, 2015. 
 This letter sets forth all of the terms of MSDH’s offer to you. If, in accepting this offer, you are relying on any
other statements or representations (including accommodations) you believe have been made to you on behalf of MSDH, please record them on this letter when you return it to me. If you record any statements or representations on this letter, you
should not rely on such statement or representations unless we confirm to you in writing that they are part of our offer. 
 We are confident
that you will make a significant contribution to MSDH, and we look forward to welcoming you as a member of the MSDH Team. Please acknowledge the above and your acceptance of such by signing and returning this letter to me at your earliest
convenience. 
 Very truly yours,

total obligations of the lessee for rental payments (other than amounts required to be paid on account of taxes, maintenance, repairs, insurance, assessments, utilities, operating and labor costs and other items that do not constitute payments for
property rights) during the remaining term of the lease included in such Sale/Leaseback Transaction (including any period for which such lease has been extended). In the case of any lease that is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a
penalty, such net amount shall be the lesser of the net amount determined assuming termination upon the first day such lease may be terminated (in which case the net amount shall also include the amount of the penalty, but no rent shall be

 “Capitalized Lease Obligations” of any Person means the obligations of such Person to pay rent or other amounts under any lease of (or other arrangement conveying the right to use) real
or personal property, or a combination thereof, which obligations are required to be classified and accounted for as capital leases on a balance sheet of such Person under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and the amount
of such obligations shall be the capitalized amount thereof determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

(ii) all goodwill, trade names, trademarks, patents, unamortized debt discount and expense and other like intangible assets, all as set forth on the most recent quarterly balance sheet of the Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries and
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. 
 “Funded
Indebtedness” means all Indebtedness (including Indebtedness incurred under any revolving credit, letter of credit or working capital facility) that by its terms matures on, or that is renewable at the option of any obligor thereon to, a

such Person, (vi) all Indebtedness of others secured by a Lien on any asset of such Person, whether or not such Indebtedness is assumed by such Person (provided that if the obligations so secured have not been assumed in full by such Person or
are not otherwise such Person’s legal liability in full, then such obligations shall be deemed to be in an amount equal to the greater of (a) the lesser of (1) the full amount of such obligations and (2) the fair market value of
such assets, as determined in good faith by the board of directors of such Person, which determination shall be evidenced by a resolution of such board of directors, and (b) the amount of obligations as have been assumed by such Person or that
are otherwise such Person’s legal liability), and (vii) all Indebtedness of others (other than endorsements in the ordinary course of business) guaranteed by such Person to the extent of such guarantee.

made by Barclays Capital Inc. or, if that firm is unwilling or unable to make the calculation, by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Trustee (in any such case, the “Independent Investment
Banker”).

Directors, is of material importance to the business of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, but no such jackup, semisubmersible, drillship, submersible or other mobile offshore drilling unit, or portion thereof, shall be deemed of

“Tax Additional Amounts” has the meaning set forth in Section 312 of the Indenture (as added by Section 2.2 of
this Fourth Supplemental Indenture). 
 “Taxing Jurisdiction” has the meaning set forth in Section 312 of
the Indenture (as added by Section 2.2 of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture). 
 “Treasury Yield” means a
rate of interest per annum equal to the weekly average yield to maturity of United States Treasury Notes that have a constant maturity that corresponds to the remaining terms to maturity of the applicable series of Notes, calculated to the nearest
1/12th of a year (the “Remaining Term”). The Treasury Yield shall be determined as of the third Business Day immediately before the applicable Redemption Date. 

The weekly average yields of United States Treasury Notes will be determined by referring to the most recent statistical release
published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated “H.15(519) Selected Interest Rates” or any successor release (the “H.15 Statistical Release”). If the H.15 Statistical Release contains a weekly average
yield for United States Treasury Notes having a constant maturity that is the same as the Remaining Term, then the Treasury Yield will be equal to that weekly average yield. In all other cases, the Treasury Yield will be calculated by interpolation,
on a straight-line basis, between the weekly average yields on the United States Treasury Notes that have a constant maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Term and the United States Treasury Notes that have a constant maturity closest
to and less than the Remaining Term (in each case as set forth in the H.15 Statistical Release). Any weekly average yields as calculated by interpolation will be rounded to the nearest 1/100th of 1% with any figure of 1/200% or above being rounded
upward. If weekly average yields for United States Treasury Notes are not available in the H.15 Statistical Release or otherwise, then the Treasury Yield will be calculated by interpolation of comparable rates selected by the Independent Investment
Banker. 
 “Withholding Tax” has the meaning set forth in Section 312 of the Indenture (as added by
Section 2.2 of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture). 

  
 7 

 2.2 Amendments to Article Three of the Original Indenture (Tax Additional Amounts).
Article Three of the Original Indenture is hereby amended in respect of, and applicable to, the Notes and only in respect of, and applicable to, the Notes by adding the following section as Section 312: 

SECTION 312. Tax Additional Amounts. 
 The Company shall pay any amounts due with respect to the payments on the Notes without deduction or withholding for any and all present and future withholding taxes, levies, imposts and charges (each, a
“Withholding Tax”) imposed by or for the account of the Cayman Islands or any other jurisdiction in which the Company is resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or taxing authority of such jurisdiction (the
“Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. If such deduction or withholding is at any time required, the Company will (subject to compliance by such Holder with any relevant administrative
requirements) pay each Holder additional amounts (“Tax Additional Amounts”) as will result in such Holder’s receipt of such amounts as it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. 

If the Taxing Jurisdiction requires the Company to deduct or withhold any Withholding Tax, the Company will (subject to
compliance by a Holder with any relevant administrative requirements) pay such Tax Additional Amounts in respect of principal amount, Redemption Price and interest (if any) in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the Indenture;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to: 
 (a) any Withholding Tax that would not be
payable or due but for the fact that (1) the Holder of a Note (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary of, member or shareholder of, such Holder, if such Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) is a domiciliary, national or
resident of, or engaging in business or maintaining a permanent establishment or being physically present in, the Taxing Jurisdiction or otherwise having some present or former connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction other than the holding or
ownership of the Note or the collection of principal amount, Redemption Price and interest (if any), in accordance with the terms of the Note and the Indenture or the enforcement of the Note or (2) where presentation is required, the Note was
presented more than 30 days after the date such payment became due or was provided for, whichever is later; 

(b) any Withholding Tax attributable to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise, personal property or
similar tax, levy, impost or charge; 
 (c) any Withholding Tax attributable to any tax, levy, impost or charge
that is payable otherwise than by withholding from payment of principal amount, Redemption Price and interest (if any); 

  
 8 

 (d) any Withholding Tax that would not have been imposed but for the failure
to comply with certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the relevant tax authority of the Holder or beneficial owner of a Note, if
(1) this compliance is required by statute or by regulation as a precondition to relief or exemption from such Withholding Tax and (2) at least 30 days prior to the first scheduled payment date for which compliance will be required, the
Guarantor has notified Holders or beneficial owners of Notes that they must comply with such certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements; 

(e) to the extent a Holder of a Note is entitled to a refund or credit in the Taxing Jurisdiction of amounts required to
be withheld by such Taxing Jurisdiction; or 
 (f) any combination of the instances described in (a) through
(e). 
 With respect to clause (e), above, in the absence of evidence satisfactory to the Company, the Company may conclusively
presume that a Holder of the Note is entitled to a refund or credit of all amounts required to be withheld. The Company shall not be required to pay any Tax Additional Amounts to any Holder of a Note who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than
the sole beneficial owner of the Note to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner thereof, would not have been entitled to the payment of such Tax Additional
Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder of the Note. 
 The Guarantor shall, with
respect to its Guarantee of the Notes, pay Tax Additional Amounts, subject to the above requirements and limitations, with respect to any Withholding Tax imposed by or for the account of any Taxing Jurisdiction with respect to any payments made
under the Guarantee. 
 The Guarantor shall furnish to the Trustee documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee
evidencing the payment of any Withholding Taxes with respect to payments on the Notes. Copies of such receipts will be made available to the Holders of the Notes or beneficial owners of the Notes upon written request. 

Tax Additional Amounts shall be treated as Additional Amounts for purposes of the Indenture. All references in the Indenture or the Notes
to “interest” shall include (without duplication) any Tax Additional Amounts due with respect thereto.

the Original Indenture is hereby amended in respect of, and applicable to, the Notes and only in respect of, and applicable to, the Notes by (a) amending and restating in their entirety Sections 1004 through 1006 as set forth below, and
(b) adding thereto the following new Sections 1008 and 1009: 
 SECTION 1004. Existence. 

Subject to Article Eight, each of the Company and the Guarantor will do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, whether corporate or otherwise. 
 SECTION 1005. Statement by Officers
as to Default. 
 Each of the Company and the Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the

Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, during such year and of performance under this Indenture has been made under the supervision of the signers thereof and whether or not to the best of their knowledge, based upon such review, the Company or

after the time for such compliance the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected by such omission (acting as one class) shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance
or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the
Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

 SECTION 1008. Limitations on Liens. 

The Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, issue, assume or guarantee any Indebtedness for
borrowed money secured by any Lien upon any Principal Property or any shares of stock or indebtedness of any Subsidiary of the Guarantor that owns or leases a Principal Property (whether such Principal Property, shares of stock or indebtedness are
now owned or hereafter acquired) without making effective provision whereby the Notes (together with, if the Guarantor shall so determine, any other Indebtedness or other obligation) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or, at the option of
the Guarantor, prior to) the Indebtedness so secured for so long as such Indebtedness is so secured. The foregoing restrictions do not, however, apply to Indebtedness secured by Permitted Liens. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries may, without securing the Notes, issue, assume or
guarantee secured Indebtedness that would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions in an aggregate principal amount that, together with all other such Indebtedness of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries that would otherwise be subject to
the foregoing restrictions (including Indebtedness permitted to be secured under clause (i) under the definition of Permitted Liens but excluding Indebtedness permitted to be secured under clauses (ii) through (xiv) thereunder) and
the aggregate amount of Attributable Indebtedness deemed outstanding with respect to Sale/Leaseback Transactions (other than those in connection with which the Guarantor has voluntarily retired any of the Notes, any Pari Passu Indebtedness or any
Funded Indebtedness pursuant to clause (c) of Section 1009 hereof), does not at any one time exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. 
 SECTION 1009. Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions. 
 The
Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction with any Person (other than the Guarantor or a Subsidiary of the Guarantor) unless: (a) the Guarantor or such Subsidiary would be
entitled to incur Indebtedness in a principal amount equal to the Attributable Indebtedness with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction secured by a Lien on the property subject to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 1008
hereof without equally and ratably securing the Notes pursuant to such covenant; (b) after the date of first issuance of the Notes hereunder and within a period commencing nine months prior to the consummation of such Sale/Leaseback Transaction
and ending nine months after the consummation thereof, the Guarantor or such Subsidiary shall have expended for property used or to be used in the ordinary course of business of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries an amount equal to all or a portion
of the net proceeds of such Sale/Leaseback Transaction and the Guarantor shall have elected to designate 

  
 13 

 such amount as a credit against such Sale/Leaseback Transaction (with any such amount not
being so designated to be applied as set forth in clause (c) below or as otherwise permitted); or (c) the Company or the Guarantor, during the nine-month period after the effective date of such Sale/Leaseback Transaction, shall have
applied to either (i) the voluntary defeasance or retirement of any Notes, any Pari Passu Indebtedness or any Funded Indebtedness or (ii) the acquisition of one or more Principal Properties at fair value, an amount equal to the greater of
the net proceeds of the sale or transfer of the property leased in such Sale/Leaseback Transaction and the fair value, as determined by the Guarantor Board of Directors, of such property as of the time of entering into such Sale/Leaseback
Transaction (in either case adjusted to reflect the remaining term of the lease and any amount expended by the Guarantor as set forth in clause (b) above), less an amount equal to the sum of the principal amount of Notes hereunder, Pari Passu
Indebtedness and Funded Indebtedness voluntarily defeased or retired by the Company or the Guarantor plus any amount expended to acquire any Principal Properties at fair value, within such nine-month period and not designated as a credit
against any other Sale/Leaseback Transaction entered into by the Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Guarantor during such period.

 (4) default in the performance or
breach of any covenant of the Company or of the Guarantor in this Indenture (other than a covenant default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section 501 specifically dealt with or that has expressly been included in this
Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Securities other than the Notes), which default or breach continues uncured for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company or the
Guarantor, as the case may be, by the Trustee or to the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes a written notice specifying such default or breach and
requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

reorganization or similar law of another country or political subdivision of such country, or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the Company or the Guarantor, or the filing by the Company or the Guarantor,
of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable U.S. federal, state or similar law of another country or political subdivision of such country, or the consent by the Company or the Guarantor to the filing of
such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Company or the Guarantor or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by the
Company or the Guarantor of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by the Company or the Guarantor in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or 

and 
 (b) adding immediately
after clause (7) of Section 501 of the Original Indenture the following new clauses (8) and (9), which shall constitute additional Events of Default with respect to the Notes as contemplated by clause (7) of Section 501:

any default in payment of such Indebtedness (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) (after expiration of any applicable grace periods and presentation of any debt instruments, if required), if the aggregate amount of all such Indebtedness (other than
Non-Recourse Indebtedness) that has been so accelerated and with respect to which there has been such a default in payment shall exceed $25,000,000 and there has been a failure to obtain rescission or annulment of all such accelerations or to
discharge all such defaulted indebtedness within 20 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Guarantor by the Trustee or to the Guarantor and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of all

selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and that may provide for
the selection for redemption (in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary) of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of
such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or of the principal amount of global Securities of such series. 

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar in writing of the Securities selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed
only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. 
 SECTION 1105.
Deposit of Redemption Price. 
 On or before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Company
shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in a trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Notes
that are to be redeemed on that date. 
 SECTION 1106. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. 

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become
due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Notes shall cease to accrue interest. Upon surrender of any such Note for
redemption in accordance with said notice, such Notes shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price. 

  
 16 

 If any Notes called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the Redemption Price thereof shall accrue interest at the rate of 2.50% per annum in the case of the 2017 Notes, 3.95% per annum in the case of the 2022 Notes and 5.25% per annum in the case of the 2042 Notes.

(such guarantee being the “Guarantee”) to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture and the

of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due by the Company of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantor shall be obligated to pay the same immediately. The
Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be full and unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Indenture or the Notes thereunder, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or
consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions of the Indenture or the Notes thereunder, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute
a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance
of the obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture.

respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of the Guarantee or the Indenture; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon,
such right of subrogation until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all Notes issued under the Indenture shall have been paid in full.

the account of any Taxing Jurisdiction with respect to any payments made under the Guarantee.

and Delivery of Guarantee. To evidence the Guarantee set forth in Section 3, the Company and the Guarantor hereby agree that a notation of such Guarantee shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, that such
notation of such Guarantee shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, and shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by an officer thereof. 
 The Guarantor hereby agrees that the Guarantee set forth in Section 3 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of the Guarantee.

 Section 5. Limitation on Individual Liability. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement
contained in this Fourth Supplemental Indenture or the Guarantee, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any incorporator, member, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of
the Guarantor, the Company or any successor Person, either directly or through the Guarantor or the Company, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being
expressly understood that this Fourth Supplemental Indenture and the obligations issued hereunder are solely corporate obligations, and that no such personal liability whatever shall attach to, or is or shall be incurred by, the incorporators,
members, shareholders, officers or directors, as such, of the Guarantor, the Company or any successor Person, or any of them, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or
agreements contained in this Fourth Supplemental Indenture or in the Guarantee or implied therefrom; and that any and all such personal liability of every name and nature, either at common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, of, and any

contained in this Fourth Supplemental Indenture or in the Guarantee or implied therefrom, are hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture and the issuance of
the Guarantee. 
 Section 6. Miscellaneous. 

6.1 The Trustee. The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the Company and the Trustee shall not assume
responsibility for, or be liable in respect of, the correctness thereof. The Trustee makes no representation as to, and shall not be liable or responsible for, the validity or sufficiency of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture.

Inc. as its agent for service of process in the United States and agrees that service of process with respect to any legal claim arising under the Indenture or the Notes may be effected by service upon the Corporate Secretary or other officer of
Noble Drilling Services Inc. at its principal office in the United States. Each of the Company and the Guarantor will at all times keep such a designated agent for service in the United States and will notify the Trustee of any change thereof.

 6.5 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or based upon the Indenture or any Notes may be instituted in any state or Federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, United States of America, waives, to the extent it may effectively do so, any
objection which it may have now or hereafter to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding. Each of the Company and the
Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by law, any immunity to jurisdiction to which it may otherwise be entitled (including, without limitation, immunity to pre-judgment attachment, post-judgment attachment and execution) in
any legal suit, action or proceeding against it arising out of or based on the Indenture, the Notes or the transactions contemplated by the Indenture. The provisions of this Section 6.4 are intended to be effective upon the execution of this
