 11.5 Confidentiality. Each of the parties hereto agrees that all matters relating to this Agreement and the other
Operative Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby including all information delivered to any Participant or its authorized representatives pursuant to the terms of the Operative Documents or obtained in connection with an inspection of
the Platform, shall be kept strictly confidential, including, without limitation, the substance of its commercial terms, and any disclosure of such matters shall be made only with the prior written consent of the other parties hereto that are
affected by such disclosure. The Lessee agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that the obligations of each of the parties hereto in this Section 11.5 are several (and not joint or joint and several) obligations, it being understood
that none of the parties hereto shall in any way be liable for the breach or purported breach of this Section 11.5 by anyone other than itself. The obligations of each of the parties hereto under this Section 11.5 shall not apply to
any confidential information (i) that becomes part of the public domain (through publication, the issuance of a patent disclosing such information or otherwise) independently of any act of any such party that was prohibited by this Section
11.5, or (ii) when identical or substantially similar information is received by any of the parties hereto, without restriction as to its disclosure or use, from a Person who, to the actual knowledge or reasonable belief of such party, was not
prohibited from disclosing such confidential information by any duty of confidentiality arising by contract or law. Any breach of this Section 11.5 by any party hereto shall not entitle the Lessee or any Affiliate thereof to any right of
setoff against any amounts due or to become due to such party pursuant to any Operative Document. The obligations of the Lessor Trustee and the Indenture Trustee under this Section 11.5 are in their individual capacities. The obligations set
forth in this Section shall survive any termination or rescission of this Agreement and the other Operative Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this Section shall prevent, or require the consent of any party to, any disclosure:

  
 (a) required pursuant to an order under
applicable laws, rules or regulations, pursuant to an injunction, pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process, pursuant to arbitration or as may otherwise be required or requested by any Governmental Rule or Governmental Authority; 
  
 (b) to examiners or self regulatory organizations
(including, without limitation, the National Association of Securities Dealers’ or the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), to any auditors, counsel, insurance brokers or other independent experts, and to any prospective purchaser
of any Note or all or part of the Undivided Interest; provided, however, that prior to any disclosure to any such prospective purchaser, such prospective purchaser shall have executed a confidentiality agreement whereby such Person
agrees to be bound by the confidentiality restrictions contained in this Section 11.5; 
  
 (c) to Affiliates of such Person in the ordinary course of the disclosing party’s normal administration of its officers; 

 

 Participation Agreement

 (d) to a prospective assignee or other transferee of such party’s interest that has
executed a confidentiality agreement whereby such assignee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality restrictions contained in this Section 11.5; 
  
 (e) to Murphy and Dominion but, in each case, only to the extent deemed by the Lessee or the Guarantor to be advisable or necessary for
Murphy to perform its obligations as Operator of the Platform pursuant to the Joint Operating Agreement, provided that no disclosure may be made (except as otherwise provided herein) under any circumstances to any such Person if such
disclosure in any way relates to: (i) any financial term or condition provided in any Operative Document or otherwise relating to any party to the Operative Documents, (ii) any terms or provisions relating to indemnification under Section 12,
or (iii) any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Tax Indemnity Agreement (it being understood that for purposes of this Section 11.5(e), the Lessee shall be permitted to disclose all matters relating to the Lessee Bill of Sale, the
Joint Operating Agreement, the Federal Leases or the Support Agreement to Murphy and Dominion, or to their respective successors in interest); or 
  
 (f) by any party or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, accountants, attorneys and other advisors, agents and
representatives to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, of the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are
provided to any of them relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure provided, however, that no such person shall disclose any other information that is not relevant to understanding the tax treatment and tax structure of
the transactions contemplated hereby (including the identity of any party and any information that could lead another to determine the identity of any party), or any other information to the extent that such disclosure could result in a violation of
any federal or state securities law. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Joint
Operating Agreement, and any amendment thereto, may be disclosed to any person by the Lessee or the Guarantor. 
  
 11.6 Assumption of Notes. Each of the Owner Participant, the Lessor, each Loan Participant and the Indenture Trustee agrees that if, pursuant to
Section 6.1(b) or 7A of the Lease, the Lessee elects to purchase the Undivided Interest, the Lessee may, so long as no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, elect to assume the obligations of
the Lessor under the Notes and under the Indenture by giving notice of such election at least 90 days prior to the applicable purchase date in accordance with Section 3.04 of the Indenture. In addition, if the Lessee elects to so assume, the
Lessee shall provide to the Indenture Trustee, each Loan Participant, the Lessor and the Owner Participant the Officer’s Certificate required under Section 3.04(a) and (b) of the Indenture and shall otherwise comply with the
conditions set forth in Section 3.04 of the Indenture applicable to it. In the event that the Relevant Amendment becomes effective, this Agreement and the other Operative Documents shall be deemed amended as provided in the Relevant Amendment
and upon such assumption the Lessor shall be released from all of its obligations under the Operative Documents except as may be expressly provided in the Relevant Amendment and the Lessor and the Owner Participant shall be satisfied as to form and
substance with such release. 
  

 Participation Agreement

 11.7 Financing Agent. Except with respect to Excepted Payments and Excepted Rights, the parties
hereto agree that, for so long as the Lien of the Indenture is still in effect, the Indenture Trustee shall act as the “Financing Agent” under the Joint Operating Agreement and the Consent and Agreement with respect to the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Documents, at the written direction of the Majority in Interest of Holders of Notes. Thereafter the Lessor shall act as the “Financing Agent” under the Joint Operating Agreement and the Consent and Agreement.

  
 11.8 Movement of Platform. The parties hereto agree and
acknowledge that, pursuant to the terms of the Joint Operating Agreement, the Platform shall not be moved from the Contract Area to another location outside Block 338 in the Contract Area without the consent of, among others, the Indenture Trustee
(who shall act with respect to such matter at the written direction of the Majority in Interest of Holders of Notes) and the Owner Participant (which consent shall be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as each such Person may reasonably
require). 
  
 11.9 Tax Deferred Exchanges. From time to
time, the Owner Participant may propose to enter into an Exchange Transaction. Each of the parties hereto, agrees to cooperate with the Owner Participant and take such action and deliver such documents as the Owner Participant may from time to time
reasonably require in connection with the consummation of such Exchange Transaction; provided, that, in the case of the Loan Participants, they are not, in the reasonable judgment of the Majority in Interest of Holders of Notes, adversely
affected thereby and will not bear any expense or incur any liability in connection therewith or as a result thereof, and that, in the case of all parties, no such party will provide any assurance that any such Exchange Transaction proposed, and
documented as requested, by the Owner Participant will satisfy the requirements for a tax-deferred exchange, the determination that the Owner Participant’s proposed Exchanged Transaction will satisfy such requirements being solely the
responsibility of the Owner Participant. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the parties hereto in connection with any proposed Exchange Transaction shall be payable by the Owner Participant. If the parties hereto consent to any action
requested by the Owner Participant to be taken in connection with any Exchange Transaction, the Lessor shall take such action. As used herein, an “Exchange Transaction” shall mean the transfer by the Owner Participant of the Undivided
Interest (or any portion thereof) pursuant to Section 13 of the Participation Agreement, and the acquisition of a replacement property (or properties) by the Owner Participant, in a manner which the Owner Participant believes will satisfy the
requirements for tax-deferred exchanges of property under Section 1031 or 1033 of the Code (including, without limitation, through the transfer of properties, or contract rights thereto, to and from certain intermediaries). The Lessor or the Owner
Participant shall reimburse the Lessee for all amounts paid to the Loan Participants or the Indenture Trustee in respect of Claims in connection with any Exchange Transaction to which the Lessee is required to indemnify any such Person in accordance
with Section 12 (unless any such Claim is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lessee).

Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), (v) the imposition of any Lien (or incurrence of any liability to refund or pay over any amount as a result of any Lien) on the Platform or the Undivided Interest or any part thereof (other
than Owner Participant’s Liens, Lessor’s Liens and Indenture Trustee’s Liens which are solely attributable to such Indemnitee), (vi) any violation of Section 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1)(A)-(D) of the Code as a result of the

provide any Acceptable Letter of Credit or (viii) the Owner Participant Response; provided, however, except as expressly set forth in clause (vi) above, the Lessee shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnitee under this

contract of such Indemnitee (unless (A) such willful misconduct, gross negligence, misrepresentation or breach of contract is caused solely by any Lessee Person or (B) such willful misconduct, gross negligence, misrepresentation or breach of
contract is imputed to such Indemnitee by reason of its interest in the Undivided Interest), (IT BEING THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES THAT THE EXCLUSION IN THIS CLAUSE (2) DOES NOT EXCLUDE INDEMNIFICATION RESULTING FROM SUCH INDEMNITEE’S
OWN NEGLIGENCE), (3) any Transaction Expense (other than any Transaction Expense that the Lessee is obligated to pay pursuant to Section 2.9), (4) in the case of (A) Claims under the Indenture in respect of the Lessor Trustee, any Claim

Officer’s Certificate delivered by it pursuant thereto or to the extent resulting from a violation of law by such Indemnitee (other than any violation caused by any Lessee Person or imputed to an Indemnitee solely by reason of its interest in
the Undivided Interest), unless such violation of law or breach is the result of or attributable to the failure of any other party to comply with its obligations under any Operative Document (other than, in the case of the Owner Participant, such a
failure by the Lessor Trustee as a result of the written direction or instruction of the Owner Participant in violation of the Operative Documents and, in the case of any Loan Participant, such a failure by the Indenture Trustee as a result of the

such Section 6.3 would be otherwise entitled to indemnification from the Lessee under this Section 12.1, (10) in the case of any Indemnitee other than the Owner Participant, to the extent attributable to the failure on the part of the
Indenture Trustee or the Lessor Trustee, as the case may be, to distribute in accordance with the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be, any amounts received and distributable by it thereunder, (11) in the case of the Owner
Participant, to the extent attributable to the failure on the part of the Lessor Trustee to distribute in accordance with the Trust Agreement any amounts received and distributable by it thereunder, (12) any Claim to the extent resulting from the

Event of Default is continuing or (ii) pursuant to any replacement, removal or repair by the Lessee of all or any portion of the Platform). The obligation to provide indemnities in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.1 shall survive
the termination of the Lease or any other Operative Document or the sale or transfer by the Owner Participant of its Beneficial Interest. 
  
 (b) Notices. If the Lessee shall obtain Actual Knowledge of any action, suit, proceeding or written notice of any Claim indemnified against under
this Section 12.1, the Lessee shall give prompt notice thereof to the appropriate Indemnitee or Indemnitees, as the case may be, and if any Indemnitee shall obtain Actual Knowledge of any action, suit, proceeding or written notice of any
Claim indemnified against under this Section 12.1, such Indemnitee shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lessee, if Lessee has not already provided such notice to such Indemnitee, provided that the failure of such Indemnitee to so
notify the Lessee shall not result in any liability to such Indemnitee and shall not affect the Lessee’s indemnification obligations under this Section 12.1 to such Indemnitee except to the extent of any increase in the amount of such
Claim resulting from such failure or to the extent the Lessee is materially adversely affected in its ability to contest such Claim as a result of such failure. 
  

(c) Contests. Subject to the rights of insurers under policies of insurance maintained pursuant to Section 13 of the Lease, the Lessee
shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to investigate, and the right, in its sole discretion, to defend or contest by appropriate proceedings or compromise, any Claim for which indemnification is sought under this Section 12.1,
and the Indemnitee shall cooperate, at the Lessee’s expense, with all reasonable requests of the Lessee in connection therewith (except that no Indemnitee shall be required to provide any information requested by the Lessee that is in violation
of any Governmental Rule or any confidentiality restriction applicable to such Indemnitee and, in all cases, shall exclude any tax return or material related to the calculation of Owner Participant’s Net Economic Return); provided that
the Lessee shall not have the right without the consent of the Indemnitee to defend, contest or compromise any Claim with respect to such Indemnitee (i) if a Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
or if after the commencement of such contest rights by the Lessee, a Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indemnitee shall have notified the Lessee that such right has been withdrawn, (ii)
if such proceeding involves any material danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Undivided Interest or any part thereof, or (iii) if such Claim involves the possibility of criminal sanctions or criminal liability or a reasonable possibility of
material civil penalty to such Indemnitee, in which event the Indemnitee shall be entitled to control and assume 
  

 Participation Agreement 
  
 60 

 responsibility for the defense of such Claim at the expense of the Lessee, provided that there shall only be one
common counsel for all Loan Participants and the Indenture Trustee and one common counsel for the Lessor and the Owner Participant, unless in each case any such Person reasonably determines that an actual or potential conflict of interest exists;
provided further that the Lessee shall acknowledge in writing its obligation to indemnify such Indemnitee as a condition to assuming control of such contest, provided that such acknowledgment of obligation to indemnify will not
be binding if the contest is resolved in a manner which indicates that the Lessee would not be liable in the absence of such acknowledgment. The Lessee will provide the Indemnitee with such information not within the control of such Indemnitee, as
is in the Lessee’s control or is reasonably available to the Lessee, which such Indemnitee may reasonably request and shall otherwise cooperate with such Indemnitee so as to enable such Indemnitee to investigate or defend any Claim. The Lessee,
at its expense, shall keep the Indemnitee which is the subject of such proceeding fully apprised of the status of such proceeding and shall provide such Indemnitee with all information with respect to such proceeding as such Indemnitee shall
reasonably request. In the event an Indemnitee has assumed control of any such proceeding, it, at the Lessee’s expense, shall keep the Lessee fully apprised of the status of such proceeding and shall provide the Lessee with all information,
including the receipt of all settlement offers, with respect to such proceeding as the Lessee shall reasonably request. If the Lessee or the insurers under a policy of insurance maintained by the Lessee undertake the defense of an Indemnitee with
respect to a Claim, no additional legal fees or expenses of such Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such claim shall be indemnified hereunder unless such fees or expenses were incurred at the request of the Lessee or such insurers;
provided that, if (i) in the opinion of counsel to such Indemnitee an actual or potential conflict of interest exists where it is advisable for such Indemnitee to be represented by separate counsel or (ii) such Indemnitee has been indicted or
otherwise charged in a criminal complaint, or, in the opinion of such Indemnitee such indictment or charge is possible, in connection with a Claim not excluded by Section 12.1(a) and such Indemnitee informs the Lessee that such Indemnitee
desires to be represented by separate counsel, the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Lessee. Subject to the requirements of any policy of insurance, an Indemnitee may participate at its own expense in any
judicial proceeding controlled by the Lessee pursuant to the preceding provisions and such participation shall not constitute a waiver of the right to receive the indemnification provided in this Section 12.1. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, except as otherwise provided in the following sentence, during the continuance of a Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default, the Lessee shall not compromise any Claim without the consent of the applicable
Indemnitee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, unless such Claim does not involve the possibility of criminal liability and is simultaneously discharged. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.1, to
the extent the defense or settlement of any non-criminal Claim in respect of which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder is governed by the terms of the Joint Operating Agreement, such defense or settlement shall be governed by the
Joint Operating Agreement; provided, that the defense or settlement of such Claim in accordance with the Joint Operating Agreement shall not limit the Lessee’s obligations to indemnify such Claim pursuant to this Section 12.1.

  
 (d) Subrogation. Upon payment in full of any Claim by
the Lessee pursuant to this Section 12.1 to or on behalf of an Indemnitee, the Lessee, without any further action, shall be subrogated to any and all claims that such Indemnitee may have in respect of the matters against which such indemnity
was given (other than Claims under any insurance policies maintained by 
  

 Participation Agreement 
  
 61 

 such Indemnitee); provided that the Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of rights
of subrogation under this Section 12.1(d) until all of the obligations of the Lessee under the Operative Documents to which it is a party have been indefeasibly paid in full. Such Indemnitee agrees to cooperate, at the Lessee’s expense,
with the Lessee and to execute such further instruments reasonably requested by the Lessee to permit the Lessee to pursue such Claims. 
  
 (e) Refunds. Upon receipt by any Indemnitee of a repayment or reimbursement of all or any part of any Claim for which the Lessee shall have paid to
any Indemnitee or for which the Lessee shall have reimbursed any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 12.1, such Indemnitee shall pay to the Lessee, as promptly as practicable after the receipt thereof, the amount of such repayment or
reimbursement plus the amount of any tax savings realized by such Indemnitee as a result of such payment made to the Lessee, but not in excess of the amount of all prior payments made by the Lessee pursuant to this Section 12.1 with respect
to such Claim less the amount of all prior refunds paid by such Indemnitee with respect to such Claim pursuant to this subsection (e). 
  
 (f) Waiver. The Lessee hereby waives and releases any claim (except any claim relating solely to the Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct) now or hereafter existing against any Indemnitee arising out of death or personal injury to personnel of the Lessee (including it directors, officers, employees, agents and servants), loss of damage to property of the Lessee or its
Affiliates, or the loss of use of any property of the Lessee or its Affiliates, which may result from or arise out of the condition, use or operation of the Platform during the Lease Term, including any latent or patent defect whether or not
discoverable. 
  
 12.2 General Tax Indemnification. (a)(1)
Payment of Taxes. The Lessee agrees that each payment of Rent pursuant to the Lease shall be free of all withholding with respect to Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes), and in the event that the Lessee shall be required by applicable law to
make any such withholding for any such payment, (x) Rent payable shall be increased so that after making all required withholdings the Tax Indemnitee receives an amount equal to the Rent it would have received had such withholdings not been made,
(y) the Lessee shall make any such withholdings and (z) the Lessee shall pay the full amount withheld to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable law. Each Tax Indemnitee also agrees (subject to the proviso in Section
12.2(f)) to reimburse the Lessee for any amounts withheld for which such Tax Indemnitee obtains a credit or refund, within 30 days after receipt of such credit or refund. 
  
 (2) Indemnity. Except as provided in Section 12.2(b), the Lessee agrees to pay, and to indemnify,
protect, defend, save and keep harmless each Tax Indemnitee, on an After-Tax Basis, whether or not any or all of the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated in whole or in part, from and against any and all taxes, impositions, fees, levies,
assessments, duties, withholdings, governmental claims or other charges of any nature whatsoever (together with any related interest, fines, penalties or additions to tax), including, without limitation, rental, income, withholding, sales, use,
transfer, leasing, personal property, excise, receipts, franchise, value-added, stamp, filing, recording, documentation or license taxes, however imposed or asserted, by any United States federal, state or local government or taxing authority
(including any possession or territory thereof) or any foreign government or taxing authority or subdivision thereof, or 
  

 Participation Agreement

 any international taxing authority or any subdivision or taxing authority of any thereof (all the
foregoing being herein collectively called “Taxes” or, separately, a “Tax”), upon or with respect to (i) the Platform, the Undivided Interest or any portion thereof or interest therein, (ii) the acquisition, purchase, sale,
financing, leasing, subleasing, sub-subleasing and sub-subsubleasing, ownership, maintenance, repair, redelivery, alteration, insuring, control, use, operation, manufacture, assembly, delivery, possession, repossession, location, storage,
importation, exportation, refinancing, refunding, transfer of title, registration, reregistration, transfer of registration, return or other disposition thereof of all or any part of the Platform, the Undivided Interest or any portion thereof or
interest therein, (iii) the rental payments (including, without limitation, all Base Rent and Supplemental Rent), receipts or earnings arising from the Platform, the Undivided Interest or any portion thereof or interest therein, or payable pursuant
to the Lease, or any other payment or right to receive payment pursuant to the Operative Documents (including, without limitation, any payment of principal, interest, Swap Breakage Amount, discount or premium on or with respect to the Notes), (iv)
any modification or replacement, removal or repair of the Platform or a Component or Replacement Component, (v) the Joint Operating Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents and any other documents contemplated hereby or thereby and

the Operative Documents.

Estate, the Lease or any portion of any of the foregoing, or any interest arising out of the Operative Documents or the Notes; provided, however, that this Section 12.2(b)(2) shall not apply to any transfer that (A) with respect
to any Participant, and its respective Affiliates, officers, directors, agents, and employees, occurs after a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or, in the case of any other Tax Indemnitee, relates to the exercise of remedies in
connection with a Lease Event of Default; (B) results from an Event of Loss or from any other destruction, damage, theft, or governmental taking, confiscation, seizure, or requisition of or to the Platform or any material part thereof that does not

 (4) Taxes on a Tax Indemnitee that result from (A) the willful misconduct, gross negligence, or fraud of such Tax Indemnitee (IT BEING THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES THAT THE EXCLUSION IN THIS CLAUSE (4) DOES NOT EXCLUDE

Operative Documents, unless any such breach, inaccuracy or failure is caused by or results from any act, failure to act, or breach of representation, warranty, or covenant by any Lessee Person or any other party to the Operative Documents or the
Joint Operating Agreement; 
  
 (5) Taxes on a Tax
Indemnitee that result from (A) the failure of such Tax Indemnitee to file tax returns properly and on a timely basis or to claim a deduction or credit to which it is entitled or (B) the failure of such Tax Indemnitee to comply with certification,
reporting or other similar requirements of the jurisdiction imposing such Tax; provided, however, that the exclusions set forth in subclauses (A) and (B) shall not apply if any such failure is the result of (x) the failure of the
Lessee to (I) perform its obligations under Section 12.2(c) or to perform its duties and responsibilities pursuant to any of the Operative Documents or the Joint Operating Agreement, (II) timely and properly notify such Tax Indemnitee of the
applicable filing, certification, reporting or other similar requirements (including the availability of any deduction or credit other than with respect to any Taxes described as not indemnifiable in Section 12.2(b)(1)), or (III) provide
reasonable assistance in complying with any such requirement; or (y) a determination by the Owner Participant in good faith that taking any action required in clause (A) in order to obtain a deduction or credit or (B) of this subsection, and
in either case, which action is not otherwise required by law could result in any unindemnified adverse consequences or risk of unindemnified adverse consequences to the Lessor, the Lessor Trustee, the Trust Estate, or the Owner Participant or its
respective Affiliates, officers, directors, agents or employees; 
  

 Participation Agreement 
  
 64 

 (6) Taxes which are attributable to any period or circumstance occurring after the

Operative Documents, or (C) Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payments that are due after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease and which are attributable to a period or circumstance occurring prior to or simultaneously with such
expiration or earlier termination;

such Section;

 (11) any Taxes imposed on a transferee or subsequent
transferee to the extent of the excess of such Taxes over the total amount of the Taxes of the same or similar nature that would have been imposed had there not been a transfer by the initial Tax Indemnitee after the Closing Date (except in the case
of a transfer by the Owner Participant or the Lessor which is described in clauses (A), (B), (C) or (E) of Section 12.2(b)(2) above) of (i) an interest in the Undivided Interest, or of a beneficial interest in the

Document to which such Tax Indemnitee is a party which amendment is not consented to by the Lessee in writing or required by the Operative Documents (unless such amendment occurs as the result of a Lease Event of Default); 
  
 (16) any Tax (other than a Tax imposed on the Owner
Participant, the Lessor or the Lessor Trustee) in the nature of an intangible tax, or similar tax upon or with respect to the value of the interest of the Indenture Estate, as the case may be, in any of the Notes imposed by any government or taxing
authority; 
  
 (17) To the extent indemnified
under Section 12.1(a)(vii), Taxes resulting from any violation of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; or 
  
 (18) any Tax imposed by way of withholding on the gross income of a Tax Indemnitee by a U.S. federal, state or local jurisdiction unless,
and to the extent, such Tax is attributable to (i) the Lessee, any Person acting on behalf of the Lessee, or any person using the Undivided Interest (other than the Owner Participant or the Lessor) or relocating the Platform, or any portion thereof,
to such jurisdiction; (ii) the Platform’s location on the Closing Date if other than the location certified by the Lessee on the Closing Date; or (iii) a change in applicable treaty or law on or after the closing Date; provided that this
exclusion shall not apply to Taxes (i) that are sales, use, rental, property, stamp, document filing, license, ad valorem, value added, franchise or doing business Taxes or (ii) which are imposed upon a Tax Indemnitee (A) which acquired its interest
in the overall transaction contemplated by the Operative Documents pursuant to a transfer from a Tax Indemnitee during the existence of a Lease Event of Default or (B) as the result of a Lease Event of Default. 
  
 If the Lessee is required to pay any indemnity hereunder on an After-Tax Basis, none of the
exclusions in Section 12.2(b)(1) through (18) above shall be read to exclude any Taxes that are necessary to pay such indemnity on an After-Tax Basis. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or any other Operative Document to the
contrary, Lessee acknowledges and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Owner Participant, the Lessor and the Lessor Trustee (in their respective trust and individual capacities) on an After-Tax Basis against any and all withholding Taxes
(inclusive of any interest and penalties imposed for any failure to timely withhold such Taxes) imposed on or with respect to any amounts paid to a Loan Participant or any successor, assignee or Affiliate thereof, as an indemnified Tax for purposes
of this Section 12.2, unless such withholding is a result of the Owner Participant, the Lessor or the Lessor Trustee not being a United States person for United States federal income tax purposes. If a Tax (including any related interest,
fines, penalties or addition to Tax) (other than, in the case of the Owner Participant, the Lessor and the Lessor Trustee, withholding taxes referred to in the previous sentence) results from a breach or inaccuracy of any Tax Indemnitee of any of
its representations, warranties or covenants, or the failure to perform or observe any agreements under the Operative Documents, unless, in the case of the Owner Participant and its respective Affiliates, officers, directors, agents and employees,
any such breach, inaccuracy or failure is caused by or results from any act, failure to act or breach of representation, warranty or covenant, or the failure to perform any agreement of any Lessee Person or any other party to the Operative Documents
or the Joint Operating Agreement and the Lessee is required to indemnify 
  

 Participation Agreement 
  
 66 

 another Tax Indemnitee against the imposition of such Tax, then the Tax Indemnitee whose breach or failure resulted in
the imposition of such Tax shall, within 30 days after receipt of notice of payment of the Tax and appropriate payment documentation with respect thereto, pay to the Lessee an amount which equals the amount paid by the Lessee with respect to or as a
result of such Tax. Notwithstanding any provision of the Operative Documents to the contrary, the Lessee agrees (i) to indemnify and hold harmless each Tax Indemnitee on an After-Tax Basis for any Taxes imposed by any United States federal, state or
local jurisdiction or by any non-United States jurisdiction in connection with, resulting from or that would not have been imposed but for the removal of the Platform or any portion thereof from United States territorial waters during the Lease
Term, whether or not such removal is permitted by the Operative Documents; and (ii) to indemnify the Owner Participant against income, franchise and withholding taxes (other than such taxes imposed by the U. S. Internal Revenue Code) imposed by (x)
any jurisdiction to which the Platform is relocated after the Closing Date and (y) any jurisdiction in which the Platform is located on the Closing Date if other than the location certified by the Lessee on the Closing Date, in the case of either
(x) or (y) only to the extent of the excess of such taxes imposed by such jurisdiction over the amount that would have been imposed by such jurisdiction had the Platform not been in such location. 
  
 The provisions of this Section 12.2(b) shall not apply to any Taxes
imposed in respect of the receipt or accrual of any payment made by the Lessee pursuant to Section 12.1 hereof, this Section 12.2 or pursuant to the Tax Indemnity Agreement. 
  
 (c) Reports. If any report, return, certification or statement is required to be filed with respect to any Tax that
is subject to indemnification under this Section 12.2, the Lessee shall timely prepare and file the same (except for (i) any report, return or statement relating to any net income Taxes described in Section 12.2(b)(1), except that, in
such case, the Lessee shall timely provide information necessary to file such report, return or statement (but only to the extent the Lessee collects and maintains such information in the ordinary course of its operations if the relevant Tax
Indemnitee otherwise collects and maintains such information in the ordinary course of its operations) or (ii) any other report, return, certification or statement which the Tax Indemnitee has notified the Lessee that the Tax Indemnitee intends to
prepare and file); provided that such Tax Indemnitee shall have furnished the Lessee, at the Lessee’s expense, with such information reasonably necessary to prepare and file such returns as is within such Tax Indemnitee’s control.
The Lessee shall either file such report, return, certification or statement (so as to show the ownership of the Undivided Interest for tax purposes in the Owner Participant or the Lessor, as applicable) and send a copy of such report, return,
certification or statement to the Owner Participant and the Lessor, or, where not so permitted to file, shall notify the Owner Participant and the Lessor of such requirement within a reasonable period of time prior to the due date for filing
(without regard to any applicable extensions) and prepare and deliver such report, return, certification or statement to the Owner Participant and the Lessor. In addition, within a reasonable time prior to the time such report, return, certification
or statement is to be filed the Lessee shall, to the extent permitted by law, cause all billings of such Taxes to be made to each Tax Indemnitee in care of the Lessee, make payment thereof and furnish written evidence of such payment. The Lessee
shall furnish promptly upon written request such data, records and documents as any Tax Indemnitee may reasonably require of the Lessee to enable such Tax Indemnitee to comply with requirements of any taxing jurisdiction arising out of such Tax
Indemnitee’s participation in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, requirements relating to Taxes described in Section 12.2(b)(1).

 (d) Payments. Any Tax indemnified hereunder shall be paid directly when due to the applicable
taxing authority if direct payment is permitted, or shall be reimbursed to a Tax Indemnitee on demand if paid by such Tax Indemnitee in accordance herewith. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 12.2, all amounts payable to a Tax
Indemnitee hereunder shall be paid promptly in immediately available funds, but in no event later than the later of (i) 10 Business Days after the date of such demand or (ii) 3 Business Days before the date the Tax to which such amount payable
hereunder relates is due or is to be paid (ignoring extension of time) and shall be accompanied by a written statement (which written statement shall, at the Lessee’s request, as long as payment is not delayed, be verified by a nationally
recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Lessee and the Tax Indemnitee, such verification to be at the Lessee’s expense unless such accountants determine that the amount payable by the Lessee is less than 90 percent of
the amount shown on such written statement, in which event such expense will be paid by the Tax Indemnitee) describing in reasonable detail the Tax and the computation of the amount payable. In the case of a Tax subject to indemnification under this
Section 12.2 which is properly subject to a contest in accordance with Section 12.2(e), the Lessee (1) shall be obligated to make any advances with respect to such Tax whenever required under Section 12.2(e) and (ii) shall pay
such Tax (in the amount finally determined to be owing in such contest) on an After-Tax Basis prior to the latest time permitted by the relevant taxing authority for timely payment after a Final Determination. 
  
 (e) Contests; Refunds. (i) In the event a taxing jurisdiction makes a
claim with respect to any Tax for which the Lessee is liable under this Section 12.2 (a “Tax Claim”), the Lessee may cause the applicable Tax Indemnitee to contest such Tax Claim as set forth herein. In the event any Tax
Indemnitee receives notice of a Tax Claim or potential Tax Claim which is indemnifiable under this Section 12.2, such Tax Indemnitee (i) shall promptly notify the Lessee thereof, but the failure to give such notice shall not diminish the
Lessee’s obligation hereunder, except to the extent that the Lessee’s right to contest such Tax Claim or potential Tax Claim is foreclosed thereby and (ii) shall not take any action with respect to such Tax Claim or potential Tax Claim
without the consent of the Lessee for 30 days after notifying the Lessee unless the failure to take action could result in the imposition of penalties or fines or material danger of sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien on, the
Platform or the Undivided Interest or any portion thereof or interest therein. If requested by the Lessee in writing within 30 days of receipt of such notice (or, if sooner, on or before the last date upon which the contest of such Tax can
practicably be initiated in good faith, provided that the Tax Indemnitee’s notice to the Lessee discloses such date), such Tax Indemnitee shall, provided that (I) it has received an indemnity satisfactory to it whereby the Lessee
shall have agreed to pay and shall pay to such Tax Indemnitee on an After-Tax Basis all reasonable costs, expenses, losses, legal and accountants’ fees and disbursements, and all penalties, fines, additions to tax and interest in connection
with contesting such Tax Claim and (II) no Lease Event of Default or Lease Default described in Section 15 (a), (b), (c), (f) or (g) of the Lease shall have occurred and be continuing, and at the expense of the
Lessee, contest or permit the Lessee to contest the imposition of any Tax Claim by (1) resisting payment thereof, if such Tax Indemnitee in its reasonable discretion determines that there is a reasonable basis for doing so, (2) not paying the same
except under protest, if protest is necessary and proper, or (3) if payment shall be made, using reasonable efforts to 
  

 Participation Agreement 
  
 68 

 obtain a refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings; provided, however, that (i)
in no event will such Tax Indemnitee be required to contest or permit a contest or continue to contest any Tax Claim unless such Tax Indemnitee and the Owner Participant shall have reasonably determined that the action to be taken will not result in
(a) any material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any lien (except if the Lessee shall have adequately bonded such lien, or otherwise made provision to protect the interests of such Tax Indemnitee and the Owner Participant in
a manner reasonably satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee and the Owner Participant) on, the Platform, the Undivided Interest, any part thereof or interest therein or (b) any risk of criminal penalties and (ii) if such contest shall involve payment of
the Tax Claim, the Lessee shall have advanced to such Tax Indemnitee the amount of such payment plus interest, penalties and additions to tax with respect thereto on an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify the Tax Indemnitee, on an After-Tax
Basis, for any adverse tax consequences resulting from such advance. If permitted by applicable law, the Lessee may contest, at its own expense, the imposition of any Tax Claim if (i) the provisos in the preceding sentence are satisfied, (ii) the
Lessee shall have delivered to the Tax Indemnitee a written acknowledgment of its liability under this Section 12.2 for such Taxes (provided, however, that the Lessee will not be bound by its acknowledgment of liability if the
contest is resolved on the basis of a written decision of the adjudicator that clearly indicates the basis for the conclusion that the Lessee has no liability under this Section 12.2 with respect to such Tax, unless the Lessee’s conduct
of the contest has materially prejudiced the Tax Indemnitee), (iii) the participation of the Tax Indemnitee is not required, (iv) no Tax return of the Tax Indemnitee is held open as a result of such contest, (v) the Tax Indemnitee may not be
reasonably viewed as having actual or potential liability for Taxes not indemnifiable by the Lessee hereunder relating to the contest (vi) the Tax Indemnitee has determined in good faith that permitting the Lessee to control such contest will not
otherwise materially adversely affect the business affairs of the Tax Indemnitee and (vii) such contest does not involve a Tax Claim with respect to net income Taxes, franchise Taxes or Taxes imposed by way of withholding. In no event shall a Tax
Indemnitee be required to appeal an adverse judicial determination to the United States Supreme Court. In any contest controlled by a Tax Indemnitee, the Tax Indemnitee shall consult in good faith with the Lessee concerning the method and forum of
such contest, but the Tax Indemnitee shall retain the ultimate control over such contest. The Lessee shall have control over any contest conducted by the Lessee pursuant to the terms hereof but shall consult in good faith with the Tax Indemnitee
concerning the method and forum of such contest. The Lessee shall keep the Tax Indemnitee fully informed as to the nature, conduct and results of any contest conducted in the name of the Tax Indemnitee. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Section 12.2 to the contrary, no Tax Indemnitee shall be required to contest any Tax Claim unless such Tax Indemnitee shall have received an opinion of such independent tax counsel as may be selected by the Lessee and reasonably acceptable to
the Tax Indemnitee, furnished at the Lessee’s sole expense, to the effect that there is a reasonable basis for the Tax Indemnitee to contest such Tax Claim. A Tax Indemnitee shall not make, accept or enter into a settlement or other compromise
with respect to any Taxes indemnified pursuant to this Section 12.2 (which proceeding the Tax Indemnitee is required to continue), or forego or terminate any such proceeding with respect to Taxes indemnified pursuant to this Section
12.2, without the prior written consent of the Lessee provided that the Lessee shall have acknowledged that the contest is with respect to a Tax Claim that would result in a Tax indemnifiable under this Section 12.2.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Tax Indemnitee refuses to contest any Tax Claim or effects a settlement or compromise of 
  

 Participation Agreement 
  
 69 

 any such Tax that the Tax Indemnitee is required to contest or is required not to settle or compromise or otherwise
terminates any such contest in violation of the terms hereof without such prior written consent of the Lessee (but not with respect to any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Tax Indemnitee to contest such Tax Claim), such
Tax Indemnitee shall be deemed to have waived its right to any indemnity payment by the Lessee that would otherwise be payable by the Lessee pursuant to this Section 12.2 in respect of such Tax Claim and any other tax claim the contest of
which may be effectively precluded by such settlement or compromise, and shall have no further obligation or liability to the Lessee with respect to such contest or settlement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 12.2 to the
contrary, the Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to contest any claim if the subject matter thereof shall be of a continuing nature and shall have previously-been decided adversely by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to the contest
provisions of this Section 12.2, unless there shall have been a change in law (or interpretation thereof) or a change in facts after the date with respect to which such previous contest shall have been decided, and the Tax Indemnitee shall
have received, at the Lessee’s expense, an opinion of independent tax counsel selected by the Lessee and reasonably acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee to the effect that as a result of such change in law (or interpretation thereof) or a change
in facts, there is substantial authority (applying the principles of Section 6662 (d) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder) for the position asserted by the Tax Indemnitee in such contest. 
  
 (ii) Upon receipt by any Tax Indemnitee of a repayment or
refund of all or any part of any Tax which the Lessee shall have paid for, or advanced to, such Tax Indemnitee or for which the Lessee shall have reimbursed such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 12.2, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to
the Lessee, as promptly as practicable after the receipt thereof, the amount of such repayment or refund plus any interest received by, or credited to, such Tax Indemnitee on such amounts net of Taxes thereon plus the amount of any net tax savings
actually realized by such Tax Indemnitee as a result of the payment made to the Lessee; provided, however, that: (A) such Tax Indemnitee shall not be obligated to make such payment with respect to any net tax savings to the extent that
the amount of such payment would exceed (x) all prior indemnity payments (excluding costs and expenses incurred with respect to contests) made by the Lessee with respect to such Tax pursuant to this Section 12.2 and less (y) the amount of all
prior payments by such Tax Indemnitee to the Lessee hereunder with respect to such Tax (but any such excess shall be applied against, and reduce pro tanto, any future payment due such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 12.2); (B) if
there is (1) a subsequent loss of any such tax savings or refund realized by the Tax Indemnitee or (2) a reduction of an amount otherwise payable to a Tax Indemnitee hereunder as a result of any such tax savings or refund, such loss or reduction
shall be treated as a Tax for which the Lessee must indemnify such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 12.2 without regard to the exclusions set forth in Sections 12.2(b) and 12.2(c), other than the exclusions set forth in
Sections 12.2(b)(4)(A), (7) and (13); and (C) no payment shall be made by any Tax Indemnitee while a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
  
 (f) Tax Savings. If, by reason of any payment made to or for the account of a Tax Indemnitee by the Lessee pursuant
to this Section 12.2, such Tax Indemnitee at any time realizes a reduction in any Taxes for which the Lessee is not required to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee 
  

 Participation Agreement 
  
 70 

 pursuant to this Section 12.2 and which was not taken into account previously in computing such payment by the
Lessee to or for the account of such Tax Indemnitee, then such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the Lessee an amount equal to such actual reduction in Taxes, plus the amount of any additional reduction in Taxes of such Tax Indemnitee
attributable to the payment made by such Tax Indemnitee to the Lessee pursuant to this sentence. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, (A) such Tax Indemnitee shall not be obligated to make such payment with respect to any net tax savings to the
extent that the amount of such payment would exceed (x) all prior indemnity payments (excluding costs and expenses incurred with respect to contests) made by the Lessee with respect to such Tax pursuant to this Section 12.2 and less (y) the
amount of all prior payments by such Tax Indemnitee to the Lessee hereunder with respect to such Tax (but any such excess shall be applied against, and reduce pro tanto, any future payment due such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section
12.2); (B) if there is a (i) subsequent loss of any such tax savings or refund realized by the Tax Indemnitee or any tax savings taken into account for purposes of determining “After-Tax Basis” or (ii) a reduction of an amount
otherwise payable to a Tax Indemnitee hereunder as a result of any such tax savings or refund, such loss or reduction shall be treated as a Tax for which the Lessee must indemnify such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 12.2 without,
regard to the exclusions set forth in Sections 12.2(b) and 12.2(c), other than the exclusions set forth in Sections 12.2(b)(4)(A), (7) and (13); and (C) no payment shall be made by any Tax Indemnitee while a Lease
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
  
 (g)
Definition of Owner Participant. For purposes of this Section 12.2, the term “Owner Participant” and the term Tax Indemnitee as applied to the Owner Participant shall include any member of an affiliated group, within the
meaning of Section 1504 of the Code (or any successor provision thereof), of which the Owner Participant is, or may become, a member, if consolidated, joint or combined returns are filed for such affiliated group for federal, state or local income
tax purposes. The Owner Participant undertakes on behalf of such other members of its affiliated group to perform or cause to be performed all obligations of such affiliated group hereunder. 
  
 12.3 No Guaranty. Nothing in Section 12.1 or 12.2 shall
be construed as a guaranty by the Lessee of the useful life or residual value in the Undivided Interest or as a guaranty of the Notes. 
  
 SECTION 13 
  
 TRANSFER OF OWNER PARTICIPANT’S INTEREST 
  
 13.1 Restrictions on Transfer. Without the prior written consent of, so long as the Lease shall be in effect, the Lessee, and, so long as the Lien
of the Indenture shall be in effect, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, assign, convey or otherwise transfer (whether by consolidation, merger, sale of assets or otherwise) any of its right, title or
interest in and to the Trust Estate, this Agreement, the Trust Agreement or any other Operative Document except in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 13; provided, however, and notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary (but subject to the penultimate paragraph of Section 13.2), in the case of any transfer that occurs while a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) the conditions to transfer set
forth in 
  

 Participation Agreement 
  
 71 

 Sections 13.2(a), (c) and (e) shall not apply, and (ii) (A) the conditions to transfer set forth in
Section 13.2(d) shall be modified such that the notice requirements specified in clause (i) therein shall not apply and (B) the conditions to transfer set forth in Section 13.2(f) shall be modified such that the Lessee shall not
be entitled to require that the opinion referred to in said Section be in form and substance satisfactory to the Lessee. 
  
 13.2 Permitted Transfers. The Owner Participant may transfer all, but not less than all, of its right, title and interest in and to the Trust
Estate (whether or not the same shall then have been pledged or mortgaged under the Indenture, but subject to the Lien of the Indenture if then in effect) and in and to this Agreement and the other Operative Documents to any Person (a
“Transferee”) only in compliance with and upon satisfaction of the following conditions (except as otherwise provided in Section 13.1): 
  

(a) the Transferee (i) shall be, or shall be an Affiliate of, a financial institution, leasing company or other institutional investor
that is not a Competitor of the Lessee having a tangible net worth at the time of at least $75,000,000 (or shall provide a guaranty in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee and the Indenture Trustee of all its obligations under
the Operative Documents to which it is a party by an entity having a tangible net worth at the time of at least $75,000,000), or (ii) shall be an Affiliate of the Owner Participant that either (x) has a tangible net worth of at least $75,000,000 or
(y) has its obligations under the Operative Documents guaranteed by the Owner Participant (or if at the time of transfer the Owner Participant’s obligations are guaranteed pursuant to an OP Guaranty by any OP Guarantor which meets the foregoing
tangible net worth requirement) pursuant to a guaranty in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee and the Indenture Trustee; 
  
 (b) no such transfer shall violate any provision of, or create a relationship which would be in violation of, any applicable Governmental
Rules, including, without limitation, applicable securities laws, any agreement to which the Owner Participant or the Transferee is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound or any Governmental Actions; 
  
 (c) the Transferee shall enter into an agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit A; 
  
 (d) the transferring Owner Participant shall have provided 10 Business Days prior written notice of such transfer to the Lessor, the Indenture Trustee, each Loan Participant and the Lessee, which notice shall specify (i) such information
and be accompanied by evidence as shall be necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Owner Participant, to establish compliance with this Section 13 and Section 12.7 of the Trust Agreement and (ii) the name and address (for the
purpose of giving notice as contemplated by the Operative Documents) of the Transferee; 
  
 (e) the transferring Owner Participant shall pay or cause to be paid all reasonable fees, out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and costs
(including, without limitation, reasonable legal and other professional fees and expenses) incurred by the Lessor, the Loan Participants, the Indenture Trustee or the Lessee in connection with any 
  

 Participation Agreement 
  
 72 

 transfer pursuant to this Section 13 (other than fees and expenses incurred by any such Person in
unsuccessfully challenging, through any action, suit or proceeding, the Owner Participant’s right to make such transfer); 
  
 (f) the transferring Owner Participant or the Transferee shall have delivered to the Lessor and the Lessee and, if the Lien of the
Indenture shall then be in effect, the Indenture Trustee, an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them, as to the due authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability of the agreement referred to in
clause (c) of this Section 13.2 and any guaranty referred to in clause (a) of this Section 13.2, and as to the matters referred to in clause (b) of this Section 13.2; and 
  
 (g) the Transferee shall be a “United States
Person” as defined in the Code. 
  
 Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, if the transfer occurs when a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Transferee must not be insolvent, the Transferee must not be an affiliate of the Owner Participant and the agreement effecting such transfer
must contain provisions having the same effect as Sections 1, 2(a), 3, 8 and 9 (other than 9(f)) of the form of assignment and assumption agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A. 
  
 The Owner Participant shall be entitled to reasonably rely on any financial
statements, certificates or other documents delivered by any such Transferee in connection with any transfer hereunder. 
  
 13.3 [Intentionally Omitted]. 
  
 13.4 Effect of Transfer. From and after any transfer effected in accordance with this Section 13, the Owner Participant making such transfer
shall be released from its liability hereunder and under the other Operative Documents to which it is or is to be a party and under the Support Agreement in respect of any obligations to be performed on or after the date of such transfer;
provided, that in no event shall any such transfer or assignment waive or release the transferor from any liability on account of any breach existing immediately prior to such transfer of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or
obligations set forth in the Operative Documents or for any fraudulent or willful misconduct. Upon any transfer by the Owner Participant in accordance with this Section 13, the Transferee shall be deemed an “Owner Participant” for
all purposes of the Operative Documents and each reference herein to the Owner Participant making such transfer shall thereafter be deemed a reference to such Transferee for all purposes. In addition, except in the case of a transfer to an Affiliate
of the Owner Participant in which Section l3.2(a)(ii)(y) shall apply, upon any transfer made in accordance with this Section 13, the OP Guarantor, if any, shall be released as to liability (except as to liability with respect to which
the transferor Owner Participant is not released as provided in the proviso in the first sentence of this Section 13.4) in respect of any obligations to be performed on or after the date of transfer. Any transfer that is not in accordance
with this Section 13 shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall be null and void; provided that the failure by the transferring Owner Participant to provide 10 Business Days prior written notice of a transfer in accordance with
Section 13.2(d) shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement if such failure is cured within 5 days after the earlier of receipt by the Owner Participant of written notice thereof from the 
  

 Participation Agreement 
  
 73 

 Lessee or the date the Owner Participant obtains Actual Knowledge of such failure; and provided further
that the failure by the Owner Participant to pay fees and expenses in accordance with Section 13.2(e) shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement if such failure is cured within 5 days after the earlier of receipt by the Owner Participant
of written notice thereof from the Lessee, the Lessor Trustee, the Loan Participants or the Indenture Trustee or the date the Owner Participant obtains Actual Knowledge of such failure. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, if, after a
Transferee has become an Owner Participant, it is determined that such Transferee shall have failed to comply with the conditions to transfer set forth in this Section 13, such Transferee shall promptly cure any such failed condition(s) or
transfer all of its interest acquired hereunder to another Person so that such transfer shall be in compliance with this Section 13.

Market Sales Value of the Undivided Interest, determined as of the Closing Date; 
  

 Participation Agreement 
  
 74 

 (d) the aggregate amount of such Additional Notes shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the

aggregate amount that may be drawn on an Acceptable Letter of Credit shall not exceed on each such date the equity portion of such spread before the issuance of the Additional Notes; 
  
 (h) (i) the fees and expenses in respect of any such Additional Notes (including, without limitation, the
fees and expenses of counsel to each of the parties hereto) shall be borne by the Lessee and (ii) there shall be no adverse effect on the Owner Participant’s Net Economic Return; 
  
 (i) the issuance and sale by the Lessor of the Additional Notes shall be in accordance with and subject to
the conditions set forth in Section 2.08 of the Indenture (including, without limitation, the condition that such Additional Notes may not rank senior in any respect (but shall rank pari passu) to all other Notes issued under the Indenture);

  
 (j) the Production Handling Agreement shall

 (f) the identity of the Owner Participant having not been
disclosed in offering materials used in connection with such Refunding pursuant to a public offering or a private offering under Rule 144A and each of the Owner Participant and Lessor shall not: (i) incur liability as the “issuer”,
“obligor” or “underwriter” for Federal or state securities law purposes, or (ii) be the “issuer”, “obligor” or “underwriter” for Federal securities law purposes, and the offering materials (including

 (l) without limiting the foregoing, the terms and conditions
of the Refunding will not be any less favorable taken as a whole to the Owner Participant than the terms and conditions of the Refunded Notes;

determines not to proceed with such proposed Refunding pursuant to this Section 15.

 15.4 Refunding; Refinancing. The Notes may not be refunded or
refinanced without the prior written consent of the Lessee. 
  
 SECTION 16 
  
 BENEFICIAL INTEREST PURCHASE OPTION

  
 16.1 Option to Purchase. In the event and at the time
that the Lessee has the right to purchase all of Lessor’s right, title and interest in and to the Undivided Interest pursuant to Section 6.1(b) of the Lease, the Lessee in lieu of consummating such purchase may elect to purchase (or cause its
designee (which may be an Affiliate of the Lessee) to purchase) the right, 
  

 Participation Agreement 
  
 78 

 title and interest of the Owner Participant in and to the Trust Estate (the “Beneficial Interest”) at a
purchase price equal to the excess of (a) the applicable purchase price payable under Section 6.1(b) of the Lease, over (b) the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Notes as of the applicable purchase date (after giving effect to the
payment of all amounts required to be paid by the Lessee pursuant to Section 16.2(b)) (the “Beneficial Interest Purchase Price”). It is intended among the parties hereto that the purchase of the Beneficial Interest by the
Lessee (or its designee, which may be an Affiliate of the Lessee) shall not effect a merger of the Lessee’s interest, as lessee, in the Lease and the beneficial interest in the Trust Estate to be purchased by the Lessee. Such purchase shall be
consummated pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement, to be mutually agreed upon by the Lessee, as purchaser, and Owner Participant, as seller, including provisions which shall at a minimum preserve the Owner Participant’s rights
which are expressly stated to survive any purchase and terminate as of the effective date thereof all of the Owner Participant’s obligations which are not expressly stated in such assignment and assumption agreement to survive such purchase and
shall provide, in a manner in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner Participant, for the complete release of the Owner Participant from all of its obligations under the Operative Documents. 
  
 16.2 Notice of Election; Manner of Purchase, Transfer After Purchase.
(a) In order to exercise its right to purchase (or cause a designee to purchase) the Beneficial Interest pursuant to Section 16.1, the Lessee shall notify the Owner Participant, the Loan Participants and the Indenture Trustee irrevocably in
writing no later than 30 days prior to the applicable purchase date under Section 6.1 of the Lease that it desires to purchase the Beneficial Interest. 
  
 (b) On the date of purchase, upon receipt by the Owner Participant of the Beneficial Interest Purchase Price, and all other amounts due or distributable
to the Owner Participant on or prior to such date of purchase (without giving effect to any applicable grace periods), the Owner Participant shall transfer the Beneficial Interest, free and clear of all Owner Participant’s Liens and all
Lessor’s Liens described in Section 11.1(a)(ii), to the Lessee (or its designee) pursuant to an instrument of conveyance in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant and the Lessee. 
  
 (c) Each of the Participants, the Lessor, the Lessor Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee, at the expense of the Lessee, will cause to be promptly and duly taken, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further acts, documents and assurances as the Lessee may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and
purposes of this Section 16 and the transactions contemplated hereby. 
  
 (d) As a condition to the Lessee’s right to purchase (or cause its designee to purchase) the Beneficial Interest pursuant to Section 16.1 (unless the Lessee shall assume the obligations of the Lessor
pursuant to the next sentence), on the date of purchase the Lessee shall have provided to the Indenture Trustee an opinion of counsel, dated the date of purchase, which, subject to usual or customary exceptions, shall be to the effect that upon
consummation of such purchase, this Agreement, the Trust Agreement and the Lease constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Lessee, enforceable against the Lessee in accordance with its terms except as the same may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general principles of equity, and except as limited by applicable laws that may affect the remedies provided for in the
Lease, 
  

 Participation Agreement 
  
 79 

 which laws, however, do not in the opinion of such counsel make the remedies provided for in the Lease inadequate for the
practical realization of the rights and benefits provided for in the Lease. In the event the Lessee is unable to provide such opinion, concurrently with the purchase of the Beneficial Interest the Lessee shall assume the obligations of the Lessor in
respect of the Notes and under the Indenture in accordance with and with the effect provided in Section 3.04 of the Indenture and Section 11.6 hereof.

 17.11 Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. Any legal action or proceeding with
respect to this Agreement or any other Operative Document to which any party hereto is a signatory or against any such party or against the Indenture Estate or Trust Estate may be brought, at the option of any such party, in any of the courts in the
State of New York or the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the County of New York, and each party hereto hereby unconditionally accepts the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each party hereto irrevocably
waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any of the aforesaid courts and any claim it may now or hereafter have that any such action or proceeding has been brought in an
inconvenient forum. Each party hereto further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforesaid courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail to such party’s
address for notices specified herein. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF ANY
OPERATIVE DOCUMENT. The Lessee and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints CT Corporation System, as its agent for service of process in connection with any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of the Participation Agreement and the other
Operative Documents (other than the Joint Operating Agreement or the Federal Leases, except to the extent any such suit, action or proceeding is directly or indirectly related to the rights of the Owner Participant, the Lessor, the Loan
Participants, the Indenture Trustee and the Lessor Trustee) or the subject matter hereof or thereof, and the Lessee and the Guarantor hereby agree that each such Person will at all times maintain a duly authorized agent to receive service of
process. 
  
 17.12 Instructions. By their respective
execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Owner Participant and each Loan Participant hereby instructs the Lessor Trustee and the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver this Agreement. 
  
 17.13 True Lease; Intention of Parties. It is the intention of each
party hereto that (a) for income tax purposes, the Operative Documents be interpreted so as to treat the Lessee as the lessee of the Undivided Interest, the Owner Participant as the owner of the Undivided Interest and the Loan Participants as
secured lenders under the Indenture and (b) it will file its income tax returns in a manner consistent with clause (a) hereof except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Governmental Authorities. The Lease is intended to be a
“Finance Lease” under Article 2A of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York and a “true lease” for federal income tax purposes. 
  
 17.14 Confirmation of Enjoyment. In furtherance of Section 9.1 of the Lease, each Participant, the Indenture
Trustee (in its individual and trust capacities) and the Trust Company covenants and agrees that, so long as no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Lease has not been duly declared or deemed declared in default and,
notwithstanding default by any Loan Participant, the Indenture Trustee, the Lessor, the Trust Company or the Owner Participant under any Operative Document, that such Person or its successors or assigns shall not (and shall not permit any Affiliate
or other Person claiming by, through or under it, or acting at its direction or instruction, to) interfere with Lessee’s continued possession, use and operation of, and enjoyment of, the Undivided Interest and the Platform. 
  

 Participation Agreement

 17.15 Interest Rate Swap. It is expressly understood and agreed by and among all of the parties
hereto that on or before the Closing Date, and upon the issuance of any Additional Note, each Loan Participant (or an affiliate thereof acting on behalf of such Loan Participant) may enter into an interest rate swap agreement (or an internal swap)
and, if the interest rate swap is not an internal swap, with a swap counterparty reasonably acceptable to the Lessee and the Owner Participant (a “Swap Agreement”), a copy of the Confirmation (or deemed Confirmation, in the case of
an internal swap) for which will be furnished by the initial Loan Participant to the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee, the Lessor and the Lessee. 
  
 17.16 Voting Rights Under the Consent and Agreement. Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Lease Event of Default, the Guarantor hereby agrees
and consents to the Financing Agent exercising the voting rights described in Section 2 of the Consent and Agreement.

 ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT 
  
 Date:                     
  
 TO: [                    ] 
  
 We refer to the Participation Agreement, dated as of June 17, 2005 (the
“Participation Agreement”), among SPINNAKER FR SPAR CO., L.L.C., as Lessee, SPINNAKER EXPLORATION COMPANY, L.L.C., as Guarantor, BANC OF AMERICA LEASING & CAPITAL, LLC, as Owner Participant, SOCIETE GENERALE FINANCIAL
CORPORATION, as Loan Participant, SPINNAKER FRONT RUNNER STATUTORY TRUST 2005-1, as Lessor, WELLS FARGO BANK NORTHWEST, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, not in its individual capacity, except to the extent expressly set forth therein, but solely as Indenture
Trustee under the Indenture, and WILMINGTON TRUST COMPANY, not in its individual capacity, except to the extent expressly set forth therein, but solely as Lessor Trustee. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in
Appendix A to the Participation Agreement. 
  
 1. Pursuant to
Section 13.2(d) of the Participation Agreement, notice is hereby given that, effective upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions to transfer set forth in Section 13 of the Participation Agreement and any additional conditions agreed to by
Transferor and Transferee (each as defined below) (the date upon which such conditions have been satisfied is hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Date”), the undersigned
                     (“Transferor”) hereby sells, assigns, conveys, transfers and otherwise sets over unto
                     (together with its successors and permitted assigns, “Transferee”), and Transferee hereby
unconditionally purchases from Transferor all of Transferor’s present and future right, title and interest in and to the Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement and the other Operative Documents to which Transferor is a party
(collectively, the “Equity Agreements”) and to the Trust Estate and Undivided Interest and any proceeds therefrom, reserving to Transferor (but not to the exclusion of Transferee), however, all Transferor’s rights as an
Indemnitee. The rights so transferred collectively are called the “Transferred Interest”. 
  
 2. Transferor and Transferee hereby confirm that upon such transfer, (a) Transferee assumes and undertakes, and covenants and agrees that it will pay,
perform and discharge, all of the duties and obligations of the Owner Participant arising or accruing on or after the Effective Date with respect to the Transferred Interest (thereby excluding any duties or obligations required to be performed by
Transferor before the Effective Date) under the Equity Agreements and any of the other Operative Documents by which the Owner Participant is bound, and (b) Transferee shall be entitled to all rights and benefits of the Owner Participant with respect
to such Transferred Interest under the Operative Documents as though Transferee had been the Owner Participant as of the execution and delivery of Transferor of the Trust Agreement (the “Delivery Date”), other than with respect to
rights and benefits properly allocable to the period between the Delivery Date and the Effective Date. 
  
 Participation Agreement 

 3. Transferee hereby confirms that, on and after the Effective Date, it shall be deemed a party to each
of the Equity Agreements, and that it shall be bound thereby as if therein named as “Owner Participant” with respect to the Transferred Interest. 
  
 As between Transferor and Transferee, on the Effective Date, Transferor will be relieved of and Transferee will thereupon assume all obligations of
Transferor with respect to the Transferred Interest (other than with respect to obligations properly allocable to the period between the Delivery Date and the Effective Date). 
  
 4. In furtherance of the transfer effected by this Assignment and Assumption Agreement, Transferor hereby constitutes and
appoints Transferee its true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of Transferee or in the name of Transferor but on behalf of, for the benefit of and at the expense of Transferee: (a) to collect for the account of
Transferee all items sold, assigned, conveyed, transferred or otherwise set over to Transferee pursuant to this Assignment and Assumption Agreement, (b) to institute and prosecute, in the name of Transferor or otherwise, but at the expense of
Transferee, all proceedings that Transferee deems proper in order to collect, assert or enforce any claim, right or title of any kind in or to the items so sold, assigned, conveyed, transferred or otherwise set over, (c) to defend and compromise at
the expense of Transferee any and all actions, suits or proceedings as to the title or interest in all or any portion of the Transferred Interest, and (d) to do all such acts and things in relation thereto at the expense of Transferee as Transferee
reasonably deems advisable. Transferor hereby acknowledges that this appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable by Transferor in any manner or for any reason or by virtue of any dissolution of Transferor. 
  
 5. Transferor hereby covenants and agrees promptly to pay over to Transferee
any amounts (including any sums payable as interest in respect thereof) received by it that, under paragraph 1, have been assigned to Transferee, and Transferee hereby covenants and agrees promptly to pay over to Transferor any amounts (including
any sums payable as interest in respect thereof) received by it that, under paragraph 1, have not been assigned by Transferor to Transferee. 
  
 6. Each party hereto agrees that it shall, at the expense of the party requesting the same, at any time and from time to time, promptly and duly execute
and deliver any and all further instruments and documents and take such further action that reasonably may be required in order to obtain the full benefits of this Assignment and Assumption Agreement and to implement the rights and powers herein
granted. 
  
 7. Transferor hereby represents and warrants that it
has, and by this Assignment and Assumption Agreement does convey to Transferee, all right, title and interest originally acquired by it in the Transferred Interest, free and clear of any Owner Participant’s Liens. 
  
 8. Transferee hereby represents that it is acquiring the Transferred Interest
and the other rights, titles and interests hereby transferred to it, for its own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for the sale in connection with, any distribution of any such interest; except that Transferee reserves
the right to transfer or assign all of the Transferred Interest to the extent permitted by the Participation Agreement. 
  
 Participation Agreement 
  

 A-2 

 9. Transferee hereby represents and warrants that: 
  
 (a) Due Organization. It is a
[                    ], duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
[                    ] and has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Assignment and
Assumption Agreement and the Equity Agreements to which it will become a party as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Authorization; Execution; Enforceability. The execution, delivery and performance by Transferee of this Assignment and Assumption Agreement and
the performance by Transferee of its obligations hereunder and under the Equity Agreements to which it will become a party as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of
Transferee and do not and will not require the consent or approval of any [                    ] of Transferee, and, assuming the due
authorization, execution and delivery hereof by Transferor, are the legal, valid and binding obligations of Transferee, enforceable against Transferee in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by the application of general equitable principles which may limit the availability of certain remedies. 
  
 (c) No Violation. The execution and delivery by Transferee of this
Assignment and Assumption Agreement and the performance by Transferee of its obligations hereunder and under the Equity Agreements do not and will not, (i) violate its constituent documents, (ii) assuming that Transferee does not become subject to
regulation by any Governmental Authority solely by reason of the execution, delivery and performance of its obligations hereunder and under the Equity Agreements and not as a result of its or any of its Affiliate’s business or other activities
other than the activities engaged in solely by reason of the transactions contemplated hereunder and under the Equity Agreements, contravene any provision of any Governmental Rule or Governmental Action applicable to it, provided that no
representation or warranty is made with respect to ERISA (except as set forth in Section 9(j)), or (iii) contravene any provision of, or constitute any default or require any consent under, any provision of any material indenture, mortgage,
contract or other instrument to which Transferee is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound. 
  
 (d) Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by Transferee of this Assignment and Assumption Agreement nor the consummation by
Transferee of any of the transactions contemplated hereby nor the performance by Transferee of any of its obligations hereunder or under the Equity Agreements requires the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to or registration with, or the
taking of any other action in respect of, any Governmental Authority of [jurisdiction of Transferee’s location] or New York, other than those (i) that have been obtained, taken or made, (ii) that are not required on the date hereof, or (iii)
for which the failure to obtain, take or make will not have a material adverse effect on the ability of Transferee to perform any of its obligations hereunder or under the Equity Agreements (it being understood that Transferee makes no
representation or warranty with respect to any Governmental Rule pertaining to the Platform, the Undivided Interest or the use thereof). 
  
 Participation Agreement 
  

 A-3 

 (e) Qualified Transferee. Transferee meets the requirements of Sections 13.2(a) and 13.2(g) of the
Participation Agreement. 
  
 (f) Transferee Liens. The
execution, delivery and performance by Transferee of this Assignment and Assumption Agreement and the Operative Documents to which it is or will become a party will not subject the Transferred Interest to any Owner Participant’s Liens
attributable to the Transferee. 
  
 (g) Securities Laws.
The transfer of the Transferred Interest to Transferee will not violate any provision of, or create a relationship that would be in violation of, the Securities Act or any “Blue Sky” or securities laws of any relevant state or other
jurisdiction. 
  
 (h) Default. As a result of the transfer
contemplated hereby, no Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default attributable to Transferee shall exist. 
  
 (i) ERISA. No part of the funds provided by the Transferee to acquire and hold the interests to be purchased by it under this Assignment and
Assumption Agreement constitutes assets (within the meaning of ERISA and any applicable rules and regulations thereunder) of any (a) employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, (b) employee benefit plan or individual retirement account or
arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code or (c) entity the assets of which include plan assets (within the meaning of 29 CFR 2510.3-101) by reason of a plan’s investment in such entity. 
  
 10. All notices to, requests of, demands on and other communications with
Transferee shall be made in the manner (and shall be deemed given as) set forth in Section 17.3 of the Participation Agreement to Transferee at:

requests that, upon completion of the remaining actions required under Section 13.2 of the Participation Agreement, each addressee of this Assignment and Assumption Agreement execute and deliver to Transferor its written confirmation that such
actions have been completed, provided that the receipt of such confirmation by Transferor shall not be a precondition to the validity or enforceability of this Assignment and Assumption Agreement or the transfer of the Transferred Interest.

  
 12. Each of the Lessee, the Holders, the Indenture Trustee and
the Lessor Trustee, together with their respective successors and permitted assigns, is and shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of this Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and may rely upon the representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements contained herein and is entitled to enforce this Assignment and Assumption Agreement directly and in its own name and enforce any rights or claims of the parties hereto.

constitute but one and the same instrument.

appraisal with respect to such amount, value or period. If required by the terms of the applicable Operative Documents, such parties shall first attempt to agree on such matter. If such parties are unable to agree on such matter within the time
period specified in the applicable Operative Document, or if such parties are not required to attempt to agree, such parties shall thereupon consult for the purpose of selecting a mutually acceptable Independent appraiser. If within 10 days from the
date the parties are required to so consult, they are unable to agree upon the appointment of a mutually acceptable Independent appraiser, then each of such parties shall appoint an Independent appraiser within 10 days, and such Independent

Independent appraisers fail to reach an agreement, the determination of the appraiser that differs most from the second highest determination shall be excluded (unless such difference is less than ten percent from either of the other
determinations), the remaining two determinations shall be averaged (or all three shall be averaged, if the third determination is not discarded due to the preceding parenthetical) and such average shall constitute the determination of the

parties from a panel of arbitrators having familiarity with assets similar to the assets comprised by the Platform. The determination of the appraisers so chosen shall be given within 30 days of the appointment of such third appraiser, and, to the
extent such determination relates to the calculation of the Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Sales Value under the Lease, the appraisers shall, in making such determination, apply methodologies consistent (after taking into account then
current facts and circumstances) with those applied in connection with the Final Appraisal. Fees and expenses of the appraisers appointed in connection with an Appraisal Procedure shall be paid by the Lessee. The timetable for any Appraisal

 PRODUCTION PLATFORM LEASE AGREEMENT 
 2005-1 
  
 This PRODUCTION PLATFORM LEASE AGREEMENT dated as of June 17, 2005 is entered into between Spinnaker Front Runner Statutory Trust 2005-1, a Delaware statutory trust, as Lessor (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the
“Lessor”), and Spinnaker FR Spar Co., L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Lessee”). 
  
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
  
 WHEREAS, pursuant to this Lease, the Lessor desires to lease the Undivided
Interest to the Lessee and the Lessee desires to lease the Undivided Interest from the Lessor; 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

  
 SECTION 1 
  
 DEFINITIONS; INTERPRETATION 
  
 For the purposes hereof, capitalized terms used herein (including those used
in the preamble and in the foregoing recital) and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in Appendix A to the Participation Agreement dated as of even date herewith among Spinnaker Exploration Company, L.L.C., the
Lessor, and others, which Appendix A shall for all purposes constitute a part of this Agreement and shall be subject to amendment in accordance with the terms hereof. 
  
 SECTION 2 
  
 LEASE OF UNDIVIDED INTEREST; ETC. 
  
 2.1 Undivided Interest. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Lease, the Lessor agrees to lease and, upon delivery of Lease
Supplement No. 1, leases the Undivided Interest to the Lessee, and the Lessee agrees to lease and, upon acceptance of Lease Supplement No. 1, leases the Undivided Interest from the Lessor, for the Initial Lease Term and, subject to the exercise by
the Lessee or the Lessor of the renewal option or options as provided in Section 5, the Renewal Term or Renewal Terms. 
  
 2.2 Personal Property. The parties hereto stipulate and agree that the Platform, the Undivided Interest and the Lessor’s Share of all
Modifications to the Platform and every portion thereof is severed, and shall be and remain severed, to the maximum extent permitted by law, from any real estate or real property or immovable property underneath the Platform, even if physically
attached thereto. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the parties agree that (i) the Platform, the Undivided Interest and all such Modifications shall constitute movable personal property and shall not be or become fixtures, component parts or
otherwise part of the real estate or real property or immovable property underneath the Platform or of any other real or 

					
	 	 	 	 	Spinnaker
	 	 	 	 	Lease Agreement 2005-l

  
  

 immovable property and (ii) this Lease is a lease of “movables” subject to and governed by, for some purposes,
the internal law of Louisiana, including, without limitation, its Lease of Movables Law (La. R.S. 9:3301, et seq.), and Book III, Title IX, of the Louisiana Civil Code, and not the immovable property law of the State of Louisiana. The
Lessee will not enter into or be a party to any lease, deed of trust or mortgage of any real or immovable property on which any portion of the Platform is or is to be located or enter into any other agreement which, in each case, grants to any other
Person any right to any portion of the Platform by reason of such portion being an accession to or component part of any real or immovable property owned by such Person to the extent such lease or mortgage would constitute a Lien on the Platform or
the Undivided Interest that is not a Permitted Lien. 
  
 2.3
Description. The Lessee represents and warrants that the Platform is described in Exhibit A and the Undivided Interest is described in Exhibit B. 
  
 SECTION 3 
  
 RENT 
  
 3.1 Base Rent. (a) For the Initial Lease Term, the Lessee agrees to pay or cause to be paid Base Rent to the Lessor, payable on each Base Rent
Payment Date commencing with the first Base Rent Payment Date to occur on September 20, 2005, such installment on any Base Rent Payment Date to be in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Lessor’s Cost multiplied by (ii) the applicable Base
Rent Percentage, in accordance with Schedule 1, Part 1, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4 hereof. The term “Base Rent” is intended to constitute “fixed rent” (as such term is defined in Treasury
Regulation § 1.467-1(h)(3)); 
  
 (b) Base Rent shall accrue
for the use of the Undivided Interest, and shall be allocated to each Rental Period, in accordance with the Base Rent allocation for each Rental Period determined by multiplying the Lessor’s Cost by the percentage set forth opposite such Rental
Period on Schedule 1, Part 2, (the “Allocated Rent”) subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4 hereof. Notwithstanding that Base Rent is and shall remain payable in accordance with Section 3.1(a), the
Lessor and the Lessee agree that the Allocated Rent for the Undivided Interest allocated pursuant to this Section 3.1(b) shall represent and be the amount of Base Rent for which Lessee becomes liable on account of the use of the Undivided
Interest for each calendar year, in whole or in part, of the Lease Term, it being agreed that the total amount of Base Rent payable as set forth on Schedule 1, Part 1 for the Initial Lease Term is equal to the total amount of the
Allocated Rent as specified on Schedule 1, Part 2 (taking into consideration any Lessor Section 467 Interest and any Lessee Section 467 Interest accrued with respect to any Section 467 Loan) for the Initial Lease Term; 
  
 (c) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the allocation of Base
Rent to each Base Rent Payment Date as provided in Section 3.1(b) constitutes a specific allocation of fixed rent within the meaning of Treasury Regulations §1.467-1(c)(2)(ii)(A), with the effect that (because of the differences in
timing between Schedule 1, Part 1 and Schedule 1, Part 2 pursuant to Treasury Regulations §§1.467-1(d) and 1.467-2) the Lessor and the Lessee, on any federal income tax returns filed by either of them (or on any
return on which their income is included), shall accrue the amounts of Allocated Rent determined in accordance with Section 3.1(b) and set 
  

					
	 	 	 	 	Spinnaker
	 	 	 	 	Lease Agreement 2005-l

 -2- 

 forth for each Base Rent Payment Date in the column under the caption “Base Rent Allocation Amount” on Schedule
1, Part 2. Because there shall be from time to time a difference between (i) the cumulative amount of Base Rent paid by the Lessee (as set forth in Section 3.1(a)) and (ii) the cumulative amount of Base Rent allocated pursuant to Section
3.1(b), there shall exist a loan for purposes of Section 467 of the Code, the amount of which is as set forth on “column (F)” on Schedule 1, Part 3 under the caption “Section 467 Loan Balance” (the “Section 467
Loan”) determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations §1.467-4. If the applicable amount of the Section 467 Loan set forth in column (F) on Schedule 1, Part 3 reflects an excess of the cumulative amount of Base Rent paid pursuant
to Section 3.1(a) over the cumulative amount of Allocated Rent accrued (in accordance with Treasury Regulations §1.467-1(d)(2)) pursuant to Section 3.1(b), such amount, as appropriately adjusted for Lessor Section 467 Interest or Lessee
Section 467 Interest (the “Lessor Section 467 Loan Balance”), represents a loan from the Lessee to the Lessor for income tax purposes; if the applicable amount of the Section 467 Loan set forth in column F on Schedule 1, Part 3
reflects an excess of the cumulative amount of Allocated Rent accrued pursuant to Section 3.1(b) over the cumulative amount of Base Rent paid pursuant to Section 3.1(a), such amount, as appropriately adjusted for Lessor Section 467
Interest or Lessee Section 467 Interest (the “Lessee Section 467 Loan Balance,” and together with the Lessor Section 467 Loan Balance, the “Section 467 Loan Balance” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
§1.467-4(a)), represents a loan from the Lessor to the Lessee for income tax purposes and is shown in parentheses. If there shall be a Lessor Section 467 Loan Balance, the Lessor shall deduct interest expense and the Lessee shall accrue
interest income, in each case, in an amount equal to the amount set forth in column (D) under the caption “Interest” for the applicable period on Schedule 1, Part 3 (the “Lessor Section 467 Interest”). If there shall be a
Lessee Section 467 Loan Balance, the Lessor shall accrue interest income and the Lessee shall deduct interest expense, in each case, in an amount equal to the amount set forth in parentheses for the applicable period in column (D) on Schedule 1,
Part 3 (the “Lessee Section 467 Interest”). All Section 467 Loan Balances, Lessor Section 467 Interest and Lessee Section 467 Interest are already included as part of Base Rent and Termination Value and are payable as a portion of
the amounts determined pursuant to Section 3.1(a) and set forth on Schedule 1, Part 1 or as determined by multiplying the Lessor’s Cost by the percentage set forth opposite such Termination Value Determination Date under the heading
“Termination Value” in column (E) on Schedule 2, as applicable. 
  
 Upon
any Lease Termination Date prior to the expiration of the Initial Lease Term, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) any remaining Lessor Section 467 Loan Balance and any interest accrued thereon shall be repaid by the Lessor to the
Lessee upon such termination in any case where Base Termination Value or Termination Value is not payable by the Lessee, (ii) any remaining Lessee Section 467 Loan Balance and any interest accrued thereon shall be repaid by the Lessee to the Lessor
upon such termination in any case where Base Termination Value or Termination Value is not payable by the Lessee, and (iii) if the Fixed Price Purchase Option is not exercised, any remaining Lessor Section 467 Loan Balance shall be repaid by the
Lessor to the Lessee on the expiration of the Initial Lease Term. 
  
 3.2 Supplemental Rent. The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor, for its own account, or to the Person entitled thereto, as provided herein or in any other Operative Document, any and all Supplemental Rent promptly as the same shall become
due and payable, and in the event of any failure on the part of the Lessee to pay any Supplemental Rent due to any party to the Operative 
  

					
	 	 	 	 	Spinnaker
	 	 	 	 	Lease Agreement 2005-l

 -3- 

 Documents, the Lessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided for herein in the case of nonpayment of Base
Rent. The Lessee will also pay as Supplemental Rent an amount equal to (A) any Swap Breakage Amount to the extent then due and payable by the initial Loan Participant on each date such amount becomes due and payable and (B) all other costs,
expenses, fees and other amounts to the extent then due and payable by Lessor under the Indenture on the dates such amounts become due and payable. 
  
 3.3 Method of Payment. Except as provided in Section 14.1(b), all Rent payable to the Lessor shall be paid to the Lessor’s account
specified in Schedule 1 to the Participation Agreement or to such other account at such other place as the Lessor shall specify in writing to the Lessee at least five Business Days prior to the due date thereof. All Supplemental Rent payable to any
Person other than the Lessor pursuant to any Operative Document shall be paid directly to such Person as provided in such Operative Document. Each payment of Rent shall be made by the Lessee in immediately available funds, on or before 11:00 a.m.,
New York time at the required place of receipt, on the scheduled date on which such payment shall be due, unless such scheduled date shall not be a Business Day in which case such payment shall be due and payable on the next succeeding Business Day
with the same force and effect as if made on such scheduled date and provided such payment is made on such next succeeding Business Day unless such Business Day occurs in the next calendar month, in which case such payment shall be due on the
immediately preceding Business Day with no adjustment for interest from the amount of such payment from such scheduled date. 
  
 3.4 Late Payment. If any Rent shall not be paid when due, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor (or, in the case of Supplemental Rent, to the Lessor
for its own account or to the Person entitled thereto as provided herein or in such other Operative Document), as Supplemental Rent, interest (to the maximum extent permitted by law) on such overdue amount from and including the due date thereof to
but excluding the date of payment thereof (unless payment is made after 12:00 noon, New York time at the place of receipt, in which event such date of payment shall be included) at the Overdue Rate. 
  
 3.5 Minimum Payment. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Lease (including, without limitation, Section 4) or any other Operative Document, (a) the amount of Base Rent payable on each Base Rent Payment Date, as the same may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 (excluding, in each case, any
portion thereof constituting an Excepted Payment), shall be at least equal to the aggregate amount of scheduled principal and accrued interest due and payable on the Notes Outstanding on such Base Rent Payment Date, and (b) the amount of Fixed Price
Purchase Amount, Base Termination Value and Termination Value (and any Section 467 Loan Balance or other amounts payable by reference thereto), as of any date, as each such amount may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 (but excluding, in each
case, any portion thereof constituting an Excepted Payment) together with any Base Rent payable on or prior to such date and attributable to the period prior to such date, shall be at least equal to the aggregate amount of principal and accrued
interest which would be due and payable on the Notes Outstanding on such date assuming such date was the date such payment was due on the Notes in respect of any payment by the Lessee of Fixed Price Purchase Amount, Base Termination Value or
Termination Value.

 (b) The amount of Supplemental Rent payable on any date, exclusive of any portion thereof that is an
Excepted Payment, shall be at least equal to the Swap Breakage Amount, costs and expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee and all other amounts due and payable (other than principal and accrued interest) on the Notes Outstanding on such date.

  
 3.6 Net Lease; No Setoff; Etc. This Lease is a net
lease and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, the obligation of the Lessee to pay Rent hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional and, to the extent allowed by applicable law, shall not be affected by any circumstance of any
character, including, without limitation: (a) counterclaim, setoff, deduction, defense, abatement, compensation, confusion, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction; (b) any defect in the condition, design, quality or fitness for use of the
Undivided Interest, the Platform or any part of either thereof or interest therein or redhibitory defect therein; (c) any damage to, removal, abandonment, salvage, loss, scrapping or destruction of or any requisition or taking of, the Undivided
Interest, the Platform or any part thereof or interest therein; (d) any restriction, prevention, interruption or curtailment of or interference with any use, operation or possession of the Undivided Interest, the Platform or any part thereof or
interest therein; (e) any defect in, or any Lien on, title to the Undivided Interest, the Platform or any part thereof or interest therein; (f) any change, waiver, extension, indulgence or other action or omission in respect of any obligation or
liability of the Lessee or the Lessor; (g) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to the Lessee, the Indenture Trustee, the Lessor, the Owner Participant, any
OP Guarantor, any Loan Participant, any Holder or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Lease by any trustee or receiver of any Person mentioned above, or by any court; (h) any claim that the Lessee has or might have against any
Person, including, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee, any Loan Participant, the Lessor, the Owner Participant, any OP Guarantor or any Holder (but this Section 3.6 shall not constitute a waiver of any such claim); (i) any failure on
the part of the Lessor, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Participant, any OP Guarantor, any Loan Participant, any Holder or any other Person to perform or comply with any of the terms hereof or of any other agreement; (j) any invalidity or
unenforceability or disaffirmance of this Lease or any provision hereof or any of the other Operative Documents or any provision of any thereof, whether against or by the Lessee or otherwise; or (k) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether similar
or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether or not the Lessee shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing. Except as expressly provided herein, the Lessee, to the maximum extent permitted by law, waives all rights now or hereafter conferred
by statute or otherwise to quit, terminate or surrender this Lease, or to any diminution or reduction of Rent payable by the Lessee hereunder. All payments by the Lessee of Base Rent, Base Termination Value, Termination Value or Fixed Price Purchase
Amount (or any amounts payable by reference thereto) made hereunder as required hereby shall be final absent manifest error, and the Lessee shall not seek to recover any such payment or any part thereof for any reason whatsoever absent manifest
error. If this Lease shall be terminated in whole or in part for any reason whatsoever the Lessee shall, except as expressly provided herein, nonetheless pay to the Lessor (or, in the case of Supplemental Rent, to the Person entitled to such
Supplemental Rent as specified herein or in the appropriate Operative Document) an amount equal to each Rent payment at the time and in the manner that such payment would have become due and payable under the terms of this Lease if it had not been
terminated in whole or in part. Nothing contained in this Section 3.6 shall be construed as (a) a guaranty of (i) the value of the Undivided Interest or the Platform upon the expiration or termination of the Initial Lease Term or any

 Renewal Term, (ii) the useful life of the Platform or (iii) payment of any of the Notes, or (b) a prohibition of
assertion of any claim against any manufacturer, supplier, dealer, vendor, contractor, subcontractor or installer with respect to the Platform or (c) a waiver by the Lessee of its right to assert and sue upon any claims it may have against any other
Person in one or more separate actions. 
  
 3.7 [Intentionally
Omitted]. 
  
 3.8 [Intentionally Omitted]. 
  
 3.9 Applicability of Payments from Acceptable Letter of Credit.
Anything to the contrary notwithstanding in this Lease or in any other Operative Document, a drawing under any Acceptable Letter of Credit shall be applied against the Equity Portion of unpaid Base Rent and indemnities as either becomes due and
owing and the parties hereto shall treat the proceeds of such drawing as a prepayment of Base Rent (other than those applied as the payment of indemnities) by the Lessee in accordance with Section 467 of the Code and the Regulations thereunder and
the Base Rent, Fixed Price Purchase Amount, Base Termination Value Percentages, Termination Value Percentages, Section 467 Loan Balance, Lessor Section 467 Interest and Lessee Section 467 Interest shall be adjusted in a manner consistent with
Section 4 of the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Section 16.1(g) is applicable, the drawing (to the extent not previously applied hereunder) shall be applied in accordance with Section 16.1(g). 
  
 SECTION 4

 case, subject to the following provisions of this Section 4 and to the provisions of Section 3.5, the Base
Rent Percentages and the Base Rent Allocations shall be appropriately adjusted (A) in the case of an adjustment pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii)(A), (iv) or (v) above, prior to the Closing Date and (B) in the
case of an adjustment pursuant to clause (iii)(B), (vi) or (vii) above, after the Closing Date (provided that as a condition to any adjustment pursuant to clause (iii)(B) above, the Owner Participant shall, on or
prior to the Closing Date, deliver to the Lessee a list of all such proposed amendments along with a description in reasonable detail of the economic impact on the Owner Participant’s Net Economic Return and any necessary adjustments therefor
and such adjustment shall be finalized and first effective on the first Base Rent Payment Date occurring at least 30 days after such enactment; provided further that if any such proposed amendment does not appear on such list, such
proposed amendment shall not be the basis of any adjustment, even if subsequently adopted), in each case so as to (x) first, preserve the Owner Participant’s Net Economic Return and (y) to the extent consistent with clause (x),
second, minimize the Net Present Value of Base Rent, and (iii) third, minimize Termination Value factors to the extent possible consistent with clauses (x) and (y) above. 
  
 (b) At the sole request of the Lessee, any adjustment pursuant hereto may
incorporate a revised amortization schedule for the Notes, which amortization schedule shall be structured to preserve the Owner Participant’s Net Economic Return while, to the extent consistent therewith, minimizing the Net Present Value of
Base Rent in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 4.1; provided that no such adjustment shall increase the average life to maturity, or the maturity date, of any of the Notes from that set forth in the Pricing
Assumptions. 
  
 (c) In connection with any such adjustment to the
Base Rent Percentages and the Base Rent Allocations made pursuant to this Section 4.1, appropriate corresponding adjustments shall be made to the Fixed Price Purchase Amount, Base Termination Value Percentages, Termination Value Percentages,
Allocated Rent, Section 467 Loan Balance, Lessor Section 467 Interest and Lessee Section 467 Interest; provided that the Fixed Price Purchase Amount shall not be reduced below the expected Fair Market Sales Value of the Undivided Interest as
of the Fixed Price Purchase Option Date (and shall continue to satisfy the Owner Participant’s requirements that the present value, as of the Fixed Price Purchase Option Date of the sum of (i) Base Rent accruing after such date during the
Initial Lease Term plus (ii) the estimated fair market value of the Undivided Interest on the Lease Termination Date plus (iii) any other reasonably determinable costs which would be avoided by the exercise of the Fixed Price Purchase Option, in
each case determined using the Guarantor’s weighted average cost of capital as the discount rate, shall be less than the Fixed Price Purchase Amount), or, if the adjustment is more than one year after the Closing Date and if the appraised
amount is higher, as set forth in an appraisal delivered in connection with such adjustment. 
  
 (d) On or prior to the time of closing on the Closing Date, the Base Rent Percentages will be adjusted upward or downward to reflect tax law changes described in clause (iii)(A) of Section 4.1(a),
subject to the conditions therein. If such adjustment, together with any future adjustments that would result from the adoption of any proposed amendments under clause (iii)(B) of Section 4.1(a) (subject to the conditions therein),
would cause an increase in the implicit interest rate that discounts the Base Rent payable through the Fixed Price Purchase Option Date and the Fixed Price Purchase Amount (taking into account the Lessor’s Section 467 Loan Balance) with respect
to the Lessor’s Cost by two hundred (200) or more basis points,

 Lessee shall have the option to terminate this Lease. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event the Lessee
elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 4.1(d), Lessee shall be obligated to pay all Transaction Expenses and upon payment of such Transaction Expenses, this Lease and Lessee’s obligations hereunder shall terminate.

  
 4.2 Limitations on Adjustments. (a) Any adjustment of
the Base Rent Percentages pursuant to this Section 4 shall be computed by the Owner Participant in a manner so as to satisfy the requirements of (i) Section 3.5 hereof and (ii) Revenue Procedures 2001-28 and 2001-29 (to the extent then
in effect) and Section 467 of the Code and any regulations effective or proposed thereunder and will not, in the opinion of independent tax counsel selected by the Owner Participant and reasonably acceptable to the Lessee, cause this Lease to be a
“disqualified leaseback or long-term agreement” within the meaning of Section 467 of the Code and such regulations; and provided that no adjustment of the Base Rent Percentages pursuant to this Section 4 will result in the
Allocated Rent for the Rental Period beginning on the Closing Date and ending 90 days (or the last day of the third month, if earlier) thereafter being other than zero. 
  
 (b) In making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, each of the Pricing Assumptions and the other assumptions
and methods of calculation (including tax and appraisal constraints) employed in the calculation of the Base Rent Percentages, Base Termination Value Percentages, Termination Value Percentages, Fixed Price Purchase Amount, Allocated Rent, Section
467 Loan Balance, Lessor Section 467 Interest and Lessee Section 467 Interest each as set forth in the applicable schedules attached hereto on the Closing Date, other than Pricing Assumptions and such other assumptions that have changed or proven to
be incorrect (as such Pricing Assumptions shall have been modified by previous adjustments under this Section 4) shall be used consistently with the assumptions and methods of calculation originally employed in the calculation of such
percentages and amounts, subject to the constraints specifically provided herein. 
  
 4.3 Timing of Adjustments. All adjustments to be made pursuant to this Section 4 shall be made as soon as practicable after the event giving rise to the adjustment and shall in each case be made in
respect of installments of Base Rent accruing on and after the date such adjustment is made; provided that all adjustments to the Base Termination Value Percentages and Termination Value Percentages shall be effective immediately. 

 
 4.4 Confirmation of Adjustments. (a) The amount of any adjustment
pursuant to this Section 4 shall be determined by the Owner Participant, which shall provide to the Lessee, the Lessor and the Indenture Trustee notice of such adjustment accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate of the Owner Participant,
which Officer’s Certificate shall set forth the amount of and the reason for any such adjustment and which shall confirm that such adjustment was made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4. Such adjustment shall become
effective as of the date set forth therein (determined in accordance with Section 4.3 (subject to later revision, if any, pursuant to Section 4.4(b))) upon delivery by the Owner Participant to the Lessee of such notice and
Officer’s Certificate. 
  
 Within 20 Business Days after
receipt of such notice and Officer’s Certificate, the Lessee may request that such adjustment be verified by a nationally recognized, independent public accounting firm selected by the Lessee and reasonably acceptable to the Owner Participant.
In

 such verification process, such accounting firm shall be given access by the Owner Participant to the assumptions,
methods, computations, programs and files utilized by the Owner Participant in calculating such proposed adjustment and employed in the calculation of the Base Rent Percentages, Base Termination Value Percentages, Termination Value Percentages,
Fixed Price Purchase Amount, Allocated Rent, Section 467 Loan Balance, Lessor Section 467 Interest and Lessee Section 467 Interest, subject to the execution of such confidentiality agreements as the Owner Participant shall reasonably request (which
agreements shall prohibit disclosure of the Owner Participant’s assumptions, methodology, computations, programs or files to any third party, including the Lessee). Such accounting firm shall be entitled only to verify the mathematical
calculations made by the Owner Participant and shall not be entitled to interpret the provisions of this Lease. Under no circumstances shall such accounting firm or any other Person be entitled to review the tax returns of the Owner Participant. Any
revised adjustment resulting from such verification shall become effective with respect to the next Base Rent Payment Date after such verification has been concluded, and shall take into account any underpayment or overpayment resulting from an
earlier effectiveness of the original adjustment. 
  
 (b) Such
verification by such accounting firm shall be at the expense of the Lessee unless such verified adjustment results in a readjustment in favor of the Lessee that exceeds ten (10) basis points in the Net Present Value of Base Rent, in which case such
verification shall be at the expense of the Owner Participant. Such determination by the Owner Participant, or, if so requested in accordance with Section 4.4(b), such verified adjustment, as the case may be, shall be conclusive and binding.

  
 4.5 Further Assurances. At the time any adjustment is
made pursuant to this Section 4, the parties hereto shall, at the Lessee’s expense, enter into a Lease Supplement to reflect such adjustment and shall enter into such amendments and supplements to the other Operative Documents and do
such further acts as may be reasonably required in order to effectuate such adjustment; provided that such adjustment shall become effective as provided in Section 4.4 without regard to the date on which such Lease Supplement is
executed and delivered. 
  
 SECTION 5 
  
 RENEWAL 
  
 5.1 Renewal Terms. There are two sets of renewal periods (each a “Renewal Period”). Each Renewal
Period will have three successive Fair Market Renewal Terms, each with a term equal to one-third ( 1/3) of the
applicable Adjusted Remaining Useful Life of the Platform for such Renewal Period. Lessee shall have the right to renew this Lease for up to three (3) successive Fair Market Renewal Terms for the Renewal Period commencing immediately after the end
of the Initial Lease Term and for three additional successive Fair Market Renewal Terms for the Renewal Period commencing immediately after the third Fair Market Renewal Term of the first Renewal Period. Lessee’s right to renew this Lease for
each successive Fair Market Renewal Term is conditioned upon the Lessee having elected the immediately preceding Fair Market Renewal Term and having given written notice of its election in accordance with Section 5.3. Anything to the contrary
notwithstanding, it shall be a condition to the renewal of this Lease for any Renewal Term that (a) the appraiser appointed pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof 
  

					
	 	 	 	 	Spinnaker
	 	 	 	 	Lease Agreement 2005-l

 -9- 

 shall have determined that at the end of each Renewal Period there remains 20% residual value in the Undivided Interest,
(b) the Lessee shall provide security to the Lessor, in form, substance and amount, satisfactory to the Owner Participant, in its sole discretion, (c) no Lease Event of Default or Significant Lease Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of
the time that any Preliminary Notice is delivered by the Lessee to the Lessor and (d) no Lease Default and no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the commencement of any such Renewal Term. 
  
 5.2 Renewal Rent. All of the terms and provisions of this Lease shall
be applicable during any Renewal Term, except that the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor as Base Rent in arrears on each Base Rent Payment Date during any Fair Market Renewal Term an amount equal to the Fair Market Rental Value of the Undivided
Interest, as determined in accordance with Section 5.3. 
  
 5.3 Notice; Determination of Fair Market Sales Value; Determination of Fair Market Rental Value; Determination of Adjusted Remaining Useful Life. (a) At any time at least 365 days but not more than 540 days prior to the expiration of
the Initial Lease Term or any Renewal Term, if applicable, the Lessee shall give to the Lessor irrevocable notice (the “Preliminary Notice”) of its election to exercise either its election to select a Fair Market Renewal Term pursuant to
Section 5.1 or a purchase option pursuant to Section 6.1(a). At any time at least 270 days but no more than 360 days prior to the expiration of the Initial Lease Term or a Renewal Term then in effect, the Lessee shall give to the Lessor irrevocable
notice (the “Final Notice”) specifying which such option it is exercising. Promptly after receipt by the Lessor of the Preliminary Notice, the Lessee and the Lessor shall attempt to agree upon the Fair Market Sales Value of the Undivided
Interest as of such expiration and, if appropriate, the Fair Market Rental Value of the Undivided Interest as of such expiration and the Fair Market Sales Value of the Undivided Interest as of the end of the proposed Renewal Term. If the Lessor and
the Lessee shall fail to agree within 30 days after the giving of such Preliminary Notice, the Lessor shall provide to the Lessee the Lessor’s calculation of such amounts within 60 days after the giving of such Preliminary Notice and, within 30
days of the Lessee’s receipt of notice of such amounts from Lessor, the Lessee shall either (i) notify the Lessor of the Lessee’s agreement with such proposed amounts indicated in such notice or (ii) notify the Lessor that the Lessee does
not agree with one or both of the proposed amounts, in which case the amount or amounts for which no agreement has been reached shall be determined pursuant to the Appraisal Procedure. 
  
 (b) The Adjusted Remaining Useful Life shall be determined for each Renewal Period as set forth below. Promptly after
receipt by the Lessor of a Preliminary Notice that the Lessee intends to exercise its renewal option pursuant to Section 5.1 upon the expiration of the Initial Lease Term or upon the expiration of the third successive Fair Market Rental Term,
as the case may be, the Lessee and the Lessor shall attempt to agree upon an independent appraiser for the purpose of determining the then-residual value and the then-remaining economic useful life of the Platform, provided that the
appraiser’s determination of such remaining economic useful life shall be reduced by the greater of (a) 20% of the appraised remaining economic useful life and (b) a period of three years (each determination by such appraiser (as so reduced)
being referred to as the “Adjusted Remaining Useful Life”). If the Lessee and the Lessor shall fail to agree on an appraiser within 30 days after the delivery of such Preliminary Notice, such appraiser shall be appointed pursuant to
the Appraisal Procedure. Failure by the Lessee to

	 	 	 	 	Lease Agreement 2005-l

 -10- 

 provide any Preliminary Notice or Final Notice referred to in this Section 5.3 within the applicable time periods
specified herein shall be deemed to constitute an irrevocable election by the Lessee not to exercise its renewal option pursuant to Section 5.1 or its purchase option pursuant to Section 6.1(a). 
  
 5.4 Base Termination Values and Termination Values. Concurrently with
the Lessee’s exercise of an option to renew this Lease pursuant to Section 5.1, Schedules 2 and 3 shall be modified by the Owner Participant in order to provide for Base Termination Values and Termination Values for the
Undivided Interest applicable during the relevant Renewal Term. Such Base Termination Values and Termination Values shall be reduced on a straight line basis for the remaining economic useful life of the Platform, from the Fair Market Sales Value of
the Undivided Interest as of the beginning of the Renewal Term to the Fair Market Sales Value of the Undivided Interest at the end of the Renewal Term (each as determined in accordance with Section 5.3 and, if applicable, the Appraisal
Procedure); and, in connection therewith, Base Rent payments and the Allocated Rent for the period to which such Base Rent payments relate shall each always be equal. 
  
 SECTION 6 
  
 PURCHASE OPTIONS 
  
 6.1 Purchase Options. Subject to Sections 6.2 and 6.3, the Lessee shall have the right to purchase all, but not less than all, of the
Lessor’s right, title and interest in and to the Undivided Interest: 
  
 (a) on the date of expiration of the Initial Lease Term or any Renewal Term, at a purchase price, in immediately available funds, equal to the Fair Market Sales Value of the Undivided Interest as of such date;
provided, however, that Lessee may not elect to purchase the Undivided Interest on such date of expiration if there has occurred and is continuing a Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default; or 
  
 (b) on the Fixed Price Purchase Option Date, at a purchase
price, in immediately available funds, equal to the Fixed Price Purchase Amount plus all Base Rent due and owing prior to the date of such payment, plus all Supplemental Rent due and owing on or prior to the date of such payment plus the Swap
Breakage Amount, if any, plus, on such Fixed Price Purchase Option Date, the Lessee Section 467 Loan Balance, if any, on such Date (as adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof). Upon payment of such amounts, and after Lessee has paid all other
amounts due and payable to Lessor and each other Person payable under the Operative Documents (and any payment of interest on the amount calculated pursuant to this Section 6.1(b) at the Overdue Rate from the date specified for payment until
actually paid if not paid on the date so specified) the Lessor shall pay to the Lessee the Lessor Section 467 Loan Balance on such Date (as adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof) (all amounts set forth in the preceding two sentences of this
clause (b), the “Purchase Price”); provided, however, Lessee may not elect the Fixed Price Purchase Option if on the Fixed Price Purchase Option Date there has occurred and is continuing a Significant Lease Default or
Lease Event of Default.

 6.2 Notice of Election; Manner of Purchase; Transfer After Purchase. (a) Notice of an election to
exercise a purchase option pursuant to Section 6.1(a) shall be given in the manner provided in Section 5.3. Upon Lessee having given Final Notice of its election to purchase the Undivided Interest pursuant to Section 6.1(a),
Lessee will be unconditionally obligated to purchase the Undivided Interest on the expiration date set forth in the Final Notice in accordance with Section 6.1(a). 
  
 (b) In order to exercise its Fixed Price Purchase Option pursuant to Section 6.1(b), the Lessee shall, at any time
between September 20, 2011 and December 20, 2011, give irrevocable notice to the Lessor in writing of its election to exercise such purchase option. Upon having given such notice, the Lessee will be unconditionally committed to purchase the
Undivided Interest on the Fixed Price Purchase Option Date for the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 6.1(b) and Section 6.3, if applicable. 
  
 (c) [Reserved]. 
  
 (d) On the date of purchase of all of Lessor’s right, title and interest in and to the Undivided Interest pursuant to this Section 6, the
Lessor shall transfer all right, title and interest of the Lessor in and to the Undivided Interest, as is and where is, to the Lessee, free and clear of Lessor’s Liens and Owner Participant’s Liens but otherwise without any representation
or warranty, upon payment by the Lessee to the Lessor of the Purchase Price therefor in accordance with Section 6.1(b), and the Lessor shall, at the Lessee’s expense, execute and deliver to the Lessee a bill of sale and such other
instruments or documents as the Lessee may reasonably request to evidence the valid consummation of such transfer and shall, at the Lessee’s expense, take such actions under Section 6.03 of the Indenture as the Lessee may reasonably request.

  
 (e) Failure by the Lessee to provide any notice referred to in
subsections (b) or (c) of this Section 6.2 within the applicable time periods specified therein shall be deemed to constitute an irrevocable election by the Lessee not to exercise the applicable purchase option set forth
therein. 
  
 6.3 Assumption of Notes. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 and subject to compliance with Section 3.04 of the Indenture, if in connection with a purchase by the Lessee of all of Lessor’s right, title and interest in and to the Undivided Interest pursuant
to Section 6.1(b), the Lessee shall assume the Notes pursuant to Section 11.6 of the Participation Agreement, the obligation of the Lessee to pay the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 6.1(b), shall be satisfied by such assumption of
the Notes to the extent of the principal amount of and accrued but unpaid interest (other than overdue interest), if any, on the Notes so assumed and payment of the remaining portion of the Purchase Price in cash. 
  
 SECTION 7 
  
 EARLY TERMINATION FOR OBSOLESCENCE 
  

7.1 Decision. If the Managing Member of the Lessee shall have determined in good faith that the Undivided Interest is obsolete, uneconomic or
surplus to the needs of the Lessee for any reason including, without limitation, by reason of burdensome Governmental Rules, and 
  

					
	 	 	 	 	Spinnaker
	 	 	 	 	Lease Agreement 2005-l

 -12- 

 shall have delivered (together with the Obsolescence Termination Notice) an Officer’s Certificate certifying as to
the foregoing to the Owner Participant, the Lessor and the Indenture Trustee, then the Lessee may elect to terminate this Lease with respect to the Undivided Interest in accordance with this Section 7 on any Termination Value Determination
Date occurring at least six months following the date upon which Lessee delivered the Obsolescence Termination Notice, provided that no such termination for obsolescence shall occur prior to the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date.

  
 7.2 Notice of Termination. In order to exercise its
right to terminate this Lease as provided in this Section 7, the Lessee shall provide the Lessor, the Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee with notice (the “Obsolescence Termination Notice”) in writing at least 180
days but not more than 270 days prior to the Termination Value Determination Date as of which the Lessee is electing to terminate this Lease with respect to the Undivided Interest (the “Termination Date”), such notice to specify the
Termination Date and the Termination Value of the Undivided Interest on such date. Unless the Lessor shall have elected to retain the Undivided Interest pursuant to Section 7.4, the Lessee may, at its option by written notice to the Lessor,
the Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee at any time prior to the 30th day prior to the Termination Date,
revoke any such notice of termination, in which event this Lease shall not terminate and the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lessor, the Owner Participant, each Loan Participant and the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith
shall be borne by the Lessee; provided, however, that the Lessee shall have no obligation to so reimburse the Lessor or the Owner Participant if such notice of revocation is given (or deemed to have been given pursuant to the
penultimate sentence of Section 7.4) as a result of the Lessor’s failure to make the payments required to be made by it under Section 7.4; and, provided, further, and anything to the contrary notwithstanding, that
the Lessee may revoke any such notice of termination on only three occasions. 
  
 7.3 Sale of Undivided Interest; Termination Payment. (a) Subject to Section 7.4, the Lessee shall, as nonexclusive agent for the Lessor, use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit bids for the cash
purchase of all of the Lessor’s right, title and interest in and to the Undivided Interest on the Termination Date. The Lessor may also solicit bids for the cash purchase of all of the Lessor’s right, title and interest in and to the
Undivided Interest on the Termination Date independent of the Lessee. The Lessee or the Lessor, as the case may be, shall certify in writing to the other party within ten days after the Lessee’s or the Lessor’s, as the case may be, receipt
of each bid the amount and terms of each bid received by it and the name and address of the Person submitting such bid. Subject to Section 7.4, in the event that the Lessee or the Lessor shall have obtained any such bids from any Person
(other than the Lessee or an Affiliate of the Lessee) the Lessor shall sell all of its right, title and interest in and to the Undivided Interest on the Termination Date to such Person which shall have submitted the highest bona fide
cash bid. Upon payment to the Lessor of the purchase price in immediately available funds (and all other amounts due pursuant to the next sentence) on the Termination Date, the Lessor shall sell to the highest bona fide bidder all
right, title and interest of the Lessor in and to the Undivided Interest “as is” and “where is”, free and clear of Lessor’s Liens and Owner Participant’s Liens but otherwise without representation, warranty or recourse.
This Lease and the obligations of the Lessee hereunder (other than those obligations which are expressly stated to survive termination of this Lease) shall terminate concurrently with such sale and such payment and the payment of the amounts
described in the immediately succeeding sentence. As a condition to the sale of the 
  

					
	 	 	 	 	Spinnaker
	 	 	 	 	Lease Agreement 2005-l

 -13- 

 Undivided Interest pursuant to the second preceding sentence, the Lessee shall pay on the Termination Date to the Lessor,
in immediately available funds, the sum of (i) the excess, if any, of Base Termination Value computed as of the Termination Date over the net sales price (i.e., reduced by any costs, expenses and sales, transfer or similar Taxes incurred by
the Lessor in connection with such sale) realized by the Lessor for the Undivided Interest (which shall in no event be a negative number), plus (ii) the amount set forth for the date of payment in the column captioned Lessee Section 467 Loan
Balance on Schedule 2 related to Base Termination Value (as adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof), plus (iii) all Base Rent due and owing prior to the Termination Date, plus (iv) all Supplemental Rent due and owing on or
prior to the date of such payment, including the Swap Breakage Amount, if any. Upon payment of the amounts described in (i) through (iv), and after Lessee has paid all other amounts due and payable to Lessor and each other Person payable under the
Operative Documents (and any payment of interest on the amount calculated pursuant to this Section 7.3(a) at the Overdue Rate from the date specified for payment until actually paid if not paid on the date so specified) the Lessor shall pay
to the Lessee the amount set forth for such Termination Date in the column captioned Lessor Section 467 Loan Balance on Schedule 2 (as adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof). On the Termination Date, the Lessor shall, at the Lessee’s
expense, execute and deliver to such Person a bill of sale or assignment and such other instruments and documents as such Person or the Lessee may reasonably request to evidence the valid consummation of such transfer and shall, at the Lessee’s
expense, take such actions under Section 6.03 of the Indenture as the Lessee may reasonably request. The Lessee shall not enter into any transaction with the purchaser (or transferee thereof) of the Undivided Interest whereby the Lessee or any
Affiliate of the Lessee becomes an owner, lessee, operator or user of the Undivided Interest during the period from the Termination Date to the second anniversary of the Termination Date. 
  
 (b) In the event that (i) the Lessee shall have exercised (or shall be deemed to have exercised pursuant to the penultimate
sentence of Section 7.4) its right to revoke its notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.2 or (ii) the highest bona fide bidder under Section 7.3(a) shall have failed to purchase all of the Lessor’s right,
title and interest in and to the Undivided Interest pursuant to Section 7.3(a), then, unless the Lessor shall have retained the Undivided Interest pursuant to Section 7.4, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. 

 
 7.4 Retention of Undivided Interest by Lessor. The Lessor may elect
to retain rather than sell the Undivided Interest pursuant to Section 7.3(a) by giving irrevocable notice to the Lessee and the Indenture Trustee no earlier than 65 days nor later than 45 days prior to the Termination Date. If the Lessor so
elects to retain the Undivided Interest, on the Termination Date (a) the Lessor shall pay to the Indenture Trustee an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes then Outstanding to the date of
payment, and (b) the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor or the Person entitled thereto as provided in the Operative Documents the amounts described in Section 7.3(a)(ii), plus the amount described in Section 7.3(a)(iii), plus
the amount described in Section 7.3(a)(iv). Upon payment of the amounts described in (i) through (iv), and after Lessee has paid all other amounts due and payable to Lessor and each other Person payable under the Operative Documents (and any
payment of interest on the amount calculated pursuant to this Section 7.4 at the Overdue Rate from the date specified for payment until actually paid if not paid on the date so specified) the Lessor shall pay to the Lessee the amount set
forth for such Termination Date in the column captioned Lessor Section 467 Loan Balance on Schedule 2 (as adjusted pursuant to Section 4 
  

					
	 	 	 	 	Spinnaker
	 	 	 	 	Lease Agreement 2005-l

 -14- 

 hereof). Upon payment of the amounts due pursuant to the preceding sentence, this Lease and the obligations of the Lessee
hereunder (other than those obligations which are expressly stated to survive the termination of this Lease) shall terminate, and the Lessor shall, at the Lessee’s expense, execute and deliver to the Lessee on the Termination Date such
instruments as the Lessee shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of this Lease. In the event the Lessor fails to pay the amounts specified in clause (a) of the second sentence of this Section 7.4 or the Lessee fails to
pay the amounts specified in clause (b) of such sentence, the Lessee shall be deemed to have revoked its notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.2. If the Lessor shall fail to perform any of its obligations pursuant to this
Section 7.4 and as a result thereof this Lease shall not be terminated on a proposed Termination Date, the Lessor shall thereafter no longer be entitled to exercise its election to retain the Undivided Interest and the Lessee may at its
option thereafter submit a new Obsolescence Termination Notice pursuant to Section 7.2.

 7A.1 Burdensome Buyout
Event. If a Burdensome Buyout Event shall have occurred and be continuing and provided no Lease Event of Default or Significant Lease Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessee shall have the right, by irrevocable written

purchase price equal to the sum of: (A) the greater of (1) the Base Termination Value on Schedule 2 (as adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof) computed as of such Base Termination Value Determination Date, and (2) the Fair Market Sales
Value of the Undivided Interest in the Platform, which in no case shall be a negative number, plus (B) the amount set forth for such Base Termination Value Determination Date in the column captioned Lessee Section 467 Loan Balance on
Schedule 2 (as adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof) relating to Base Termination Values, plus (C) plus all Base Rent due and owing prior to the date of such payment, plus (D) all Supplemental Rent due and owing on or
prior to the date of such payment, including the Swap Breakage Amount, if any. Upon payment of the amounts described in (A) through (D), and after Lessee has paid all other amounts due and payable to Lessor and each other Person payable under the
Operative Documents (and any payment of interest on the amount calculated pursuant to this Section 7A.1 at the Overdue Rate from the date specified for payment until actually paid if not paid on the date so specified) the Lessor shall pay to
the Lessee the amount set forth for such Termination Date in the column captioned Lessor Section 467 Loan Balance on Schedule 2 (as adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof). The Lessor hereby agrees that all costs and expenses of the Lessor,
the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee and each Holder which arise as a result of a Burdensome Buyout Event shall be paid by the Lessee.

 7A.2 Burdensome Buyout Payment; Transfer. If the Lessee elects to terminate this Lease and
purchase all (but not less than all) of the Undivided Interest pursuant to Section 7A.l, upon payment to the Lessor of an amount equal to the applicable Termination Value for the Undivided Interest and all other amounts described in
Section 7A.1 plus all other amounts due and owing by the Lessee to the Lessor and any other Person pursuant to the Participation Agreement and the other Operative Documents, all of the Lessor’s right, title and interest in and to the
Undivided Interest shall be deemed automatically to have been transferred to the Lessee or its designee, “as-is” and “where-is” without recourse or warranty of any kind, except with respect to the absence of Lessor’s Liens
and Owner Participant’s Liens thereon. In connection with such transfer, the Lessor shall, at the Lessee’s expense, execute and deliver to the Lessee such instruments and documents as the Lessee may reasonably request to evidence the valid
consummation of such transfer and shall, at the Lessee’s expense, take such actions under Section 6.03 of the Indenture as the Lessee may reasonably request. 
  
 7A.3 Assumption of Notes. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 7A.1 and 7A.2 and subject to
compliance with Section 3.04 of the Indenture, if in connection with a purchase by the Lessee of all of Lessor’s right, title and interest in and to the Undivided Interest pursuant to Section 7A.2, the Lessee shall assume the Notes
pursuant to Section 11.6 of the Participation Agreement, the obligation of the Lessee to pay the purchase price pursuant to Section 7A.2 shall be satisfied by such assumption of the Notes to the extent of the principal amount of and accrued
but unpaid interest (other than overdue interest), if any, on the Notes so assumed and payment of the remaining portion of the purchase price in cash. 
  
 SECTION 8 
  
 RELINQUISHMENT OF POSSESSION AND USE OF UNDIVIDED INTEREST 
  
 (a) Return of Undivided Interest. Unless the Lease Term shall end pursuant to Section 12 or the Lessee shall have exercised its renewal
option pursuant to Section 5 or the Lessee shall have purchased the Undivided Interest pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 7A hereof and paid the purchase price and other amounts required thereby, the Lessee shall, at its own expense
and subject to the terms and conditions of the Joint Operating Agreement and the Support Agreement, relinquish possession and use of the Undivided Interest by returning such Undivided Interest to the Lessor or any transferee or assignee of the
Lessor upon the expiration or termination of the Lease Term, and shall deliver such documents, instruments and certificates (including, without limitation, an assignment of any permits as described in the list referred to in clause (iv) of
Section 8(b) below) as the Lessor shall request in connection with such return; provided, however, that, so long as no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessee shall have the
option, on one occasion, to extend the date of the return of the Undivided Interest for a period up to 60 days (the “Return Extension Period”), if at the time of the scheduled expiration of the Lease Term the Lessee requires such
Return Extension Period in order to complete the drilling of a well connected to the Platform; provided further, however, for the avoidance of doubt, the Lessee hereby agrees that the Lessee’s right to elect the Return
Extension Period shall not extend the time for payment of any amounts due and payable in connection with the scheduled expiration of the Lease Term. If the Lessee elects to exercise the option for a Return Extension Period, it shall be a condition
to the exercise of such option that the Lessee gives irrevocable written notice of same to the Lessor, the Owner

of the Undivided Interest for the Return Extension Period and (y) the average daily Base Rent during the last year of the Lease Term multiplied by the total number of days in the Return Extension Period. Upon the return of the Undivided Interest
from the Lessee to the Lessor or any assignee or transferee of the Lessor, the Platform shall be: (i) safely afloat and securely moored; (ii) free and clear of all Liens other than the Liens described in clauses (b) (other than Indenture

twenty-four months prior to the date of return; (viii) with all class, United States Coast Guard, MMS (or any successor thereof) and other Governmental Authority certificates, permits and approvals which are required by Governmental Rules, and all
such certificates, permits and approvals shall be valid and the Lessee shall be in compliance (except to the extent that any non-compliance would result in a de minimis effect on the value, utility or remaining original economic useful
life of the Undivided Interest), in each case, with all of the terms and conditions thereof on the Lease Termination Date; (ix) capable of performing on a sustained basis at the levels set forth in the Design Basis, as modified from time to time to
take into account the requirements of Sections 11.3 and 11.4; (x) in compliance (except to the extent that any non-compliance would result in a de minimis effect on the value, utility or remaining original economic useful
life of the Undivided Interest) with all then-applicable Governmental Rules (including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws); and (xi) with respect to its moorings if the mooring life (as determined by the Return Engineer pursuant to
Section 8(b)(i)) is less than (A) the remaining original economic useful life of the Platform as determined by the Final Appraisal or (B) the Adjusted Remaining Useful Life of the Platform as determined pursuant to Section 5.3, as
applicable, of the Platform, such moorings shall be refurbished or replaced (at the election of the Lessee and at its cost and expense) such that the mooring life will equal or exceed such remaining original economic useful life or the Adjusted
Remaining Useful Life (as determined pursuant to Section 5.3), as the case may be, of the Platform.

on the value, utility or remaining original economic useful life of the Undivided Interest) with and in the condition and state of repair and maintenance required by all then applicable Governmental Rules and Classification Society standards and the
requirements of Section 8(a), together with such inspection reports, tests, and other data reasonably adequate to substantiate the conclusion reached in such report and using methods generally accepted in the prudent offshore industry, or, if

if the Lessee, the Lessor, the Owner Participant and, if the Lien of the Indenture has not been discharged, a Majority in Interest of Holders of Obligations are unable to select a mutually acceptable Person to prepare any such report at least 210
days prior to the Lease Termination Date, such selection shall be made, at the cost and expense of the Lessee, by the New York City office of the American Arbitration Association or any organization successor thereto, upon the request of any such
parties from a panel of arbitrators having familiarity with assets similar to the Platform and reputable individuals or entities that prepare the applicable report(s). With respect to clause (i) above, the engineer’s or surveyor’s

 (c) Survival. The obligations of the Lessee under this Section 8 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

  
 SECTION 9 
  
 ENJOYMENT; DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES 
  
 9.1 Enjoyment. Unless a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Lessor agrees not to take any action which interferes with the use or enjoyment by the Lessee of the Undivided Interest. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lessor (for itself and its successors and assigns, it being agreed that
the following provisions of this sentence run with the Undivided Interest and shall be binding on any transferee or assignee of the whole or any part of the Undivided Interest) hereby waives the right to bring any action for partition of the
Platform or the Lessor’s interest therein and hereby covenants that, for so long as there are Front Runner Reserves, the Lessor shall not (i) resort to any action at law or in equity to partition the Platform, or (ii) interfere in any manner
with the use and enjoyment, to the extent provided in the Joint Operating Agreement, by the Operator of the Platform. The Other Undivided Interests shall be third-party beneficiaries of the Lessor’s waiver and covenants contained in the
immediately preceding sentence. The Lessor agrees that any assignee or transferee of the Undivided Interest shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of the second preceding sentence. No breach of this Section 9.1 shall in any way
limit or otherwise impair the provisions of Section 3.6 hereof and the sole remedies available to the Lessee or any third party beneficiary thereof are a suit for monetary damages and/or specific performance. In addition, the Lessor (for
itself and its successors and assigns) agrees that the Undivided Interest will be bound by the terms of the Joint Operating Agreement. 
  
 9.2 Disclaimer of Warranties. None of the Trust Company, in its individual or trust capacity, the Lessor or the Owner Participant makes any
representations or warranties whether written, oral or implied, with respect to the Undivided Interest, the Platform, or any part thereof, except as expressly set forth in Section 6 or 8 of the Participation Agreement or in any Officer’s
Certificate of the Trust Company, the Lessor or the Owner Participant, in each case delivered pursuant to the Participation Agreement. As between the Lessor and the Lessee, execution by the Lessee of this Lease shall be conclusive proof of the
Lessee’s acceptance of the Undivided Interest for all purposes hereof and of the commencement of this Lease with respect thereto and that the Undivided Interest is satisfactory to the Lessee in all respects. THE LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE
LESSOR IS NOT A MANUFACTURER OR DEALER IN PROPERTY OF THE KIND OF THE PLATFORM, THE COMPONENTS THEREOF OR THE UNDIVIDED INTEREST AND THE LESSOR LEASES AND THE LESSEE TAKES THE

 UNDIVIDED INTEREST AND EACH PART THEREOF AS IS AND WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS (WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE), AND PATENT
AND LATENT REDHIBITORY DEFECTS, AND SUBJECT TO ALL APPLICABLE LAWS (INCLUDING ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS) AND NONE OF THE TRUST COMPANY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL OR TRUST CAPACITY, NOR THE LESSOR NOR THE OWNER PARTICIPANT SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE, AND THE TRUST
COMPANY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL AND TRUST CAPACITY AND THE OWNER PARTICIPANT AND THE LESSOR HEREBY DISCLAIM, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OTHER THAN THOSE REFERRED TO IN THE SECOND PRECEDING SENTENCE, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO ANY MATTER
WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE DESIGN OR CONDITION OF THE PLATFORM OR ANY PART THEREOF, THE MERCHANTABILITY THEREOF OR THE FITNESS THEREOF FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, THE ABILITY OF THE PLATFORM TO PERFORM ANY FUNCTION, TITLE TO THE
PLATFORM, THE UNDIVIDED INTEREST OR ANY PART OF EITHER THEREOF, THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP THEREOF OR CONFORMITY THEREOF TO SPECIFICATIONS, OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ANY LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE. THE
LESSEE CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS SELECTED THE PLATFORM AND EACH PART THEREOF ON THE BASIS OF ITS OWN JUDGMENT AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS RELIANCE IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH SELECTION UPON ANY STATEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES MADE BY THE TRUST COMPANY,
THE LESSOR OR THE OWNER PARTICIPANT. The provisions of this Section 9.2 have been negotiated and, except as expressly set forth in Sections 6 and 8 of the Participation Agreement or in any Officer’s Certificate of the Lessor, the Trust
Company or the Owner Participant, the foregoing provisions are intended to be a complete exclusion and negation of any representation or warranty by the Trust Company, the Lessor or the Owner Participant, express or implied, with respect to this
Lease, the Platform, the Undivided Interest or any part thereof that may arise pursuant to any law now or hereafter in effect or otherwise. Nothing contained in this Section 9.2 shall be construed as a waiver of any warranty or other claim
against any manufacturer, supplier, dealer, vendor, contractor, subcontractor or installer or any other Person. Without limiting anything contained in Section 13 of this Lease, the Lessee shall bear risk of loss and shall bear financial
responsibility for any loss or damage to the Undivided Interest. 
  
 9.3 Enforcement of Warranties. The Lessor hereby appoints and constitutes the Lessee its agent and attorney-in-fact during the Lease Term to assert and enforce, from time to time, in its sole discretion, in the name and for the
account of the Lessor and the Lessee, as their interests may appear, but in all cases at no cost or expense to the Lessor, whatever claims and rights the Lessor may have as the lessor of the Undivided Interest against any manufacturer, supplier,
dealer, contractor, subcontractor, installer or vendor of any Component or Replacement Component of the Platform; provided, however, so long as a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Lease shall have
been declared in default pursuant to Section 16.1, such power of attorney shall, at the option of the Lessor, terminate and the Lessor may assert, at the Lessee’s sole cost and expense, such claims and rights.

 SECTION 10 
  
 LIENS 
  
 The Lessee will not, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens on or with respect to all or any part of the Undivided
Interest, title thereto or any interest therein, other than Permitted Liens, and the Lessee promptly, at its own expense, will take such actions as may be necessary duly to discharge any such Lien not excepted above. 
  
 SECTION 11 
  
 OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND LAWFUL USE; MODIFICATIONS; 
 REPLACEMENTS; PERSONNEL; SALVAGE; FUEL; IDENTIFICATION 
  
 11.1 Operation, Maintenance; Lawful Use. The Lessee shall, or shall cause the Operator to, at its own expense, at all times during the Lease Term,
operate and maintain (or cause the Operator thereof to operate and maintain) the Platform in accordance with the Lessee’s established inspection, maintenance, rebuild and repair programs (and without discriminating against the Platform based on
the leased, rather than owned, status of the Undivided Interest or otherwise, including, without limitation, any discrimination with respect to the installation of Modifications required by Governmental Rules that may be phased in over a period of
time that commences prior to and extends beyond the end of the Lease Term) so as to keep the Undivided Interest (a) in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, (b) in compliance in all material respects with all applicable
Governmental Rules and Governmental Actions, including, but not limited to, those of the United States Coast Guard, the MMS and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (or any successor thereof), and the requirements of any insurance
policy required to be maintained pursuant to Section 13 hereof; provided, however, that the Lessee shall not be obligated to comply with any Governmental Rule or Governmental Action (i) whose application or validity is being
contested diligently and in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (ii) compliance with which shall have been excused or exempted by a nonconforming use permit, waiver, extension or forbearance exempting it from such Governmental Rule or
Governmental Action but only to the extent that the Lessee’s noncompliance is in accordance therewith and the Lessee shall nevertheless be required to comply with such Governmental Rule or Governmental Action if such nonconforming use permit,
waiver, extension or forbearance would not be effective to exempt the Lessor or its designee from compliance with such Governmental Rule or Governmental Action upon the return of the Undivided Interest in accordance with Section 8, or (iii)
if failure of compliance (individually and in the aggregate with all other instances of continuing noncompliance by the Lessee) would result in no material adverse consequences to the Lessee; provided, further, that, in the case of
each of clauses (i) through (iii) of the foregoing proviso, neither such failure of compliance nor such contest shall result in any material risk or danger of (1) the sale, forfeiture or loss of any material part of or interest in the
Platform or the Undivided Interest, the Trust Estate or the Indenture Estate or title thereto or interest therein, (2) any interference with the payment of Rent when due, or (3) the imposition of any criminal liability or any material civil
liability or penalty on the part of, or any other material adverse effect on, the Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Trust Estate, any Loan Participant, the Indenture Estate or the Undivided Interest, (c) in compliance with recognized and prudent
operations and maintenance standards for other

 comparable platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, (d) in compliance with the American Petroleum Institute guidelines for
inspection and repair of platforms, (e) in compliance in all material respects with all manufacturers’ warranties and (f) in such condition as will entitle the Platform to maintain its classification as a “Maltese Cross A1 Floating
Offshore Installation” or such other classification used by the Classification Society for similar offshore facilities, provided that the standards for such other classification shall, in all material respects, be equal to or higher than
those for an “A1 Floating Offshore Installation”. The Lessee, at all times, shall have in effect (or cause the Operator thereof to have in effect) a prudent maintenance program for the Platform and the Components, Replacement Components,
if any, equipment, moorings and risers thereof and renew the sacrificial anodes and coatings of the Platform and ballast tanks when necessary, but at least as frequently as may be required to maintain classification without recommendations affecting
class by the Classification Society and as may be required by Governmental Rules, including, without limitation, Environmental Laws. The Lessee shall furnish to the Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Participant promptly upon receipt
thereof copies of all Classification Society reports and surveys in respect of the Undivided Interest in the Platform. The Lessee agrees that the Undivided Interest will be used solely in the conduct of its business or the business of its permitted
assignee, transferee or sublessee and will at all times be and remain in the possession and control of the Lessee or such assignee, transferee or sublessee. 
  
 11.2 [Intentionally Omitted]. 
  
 11.3 Required Modifications. The Lessee shall, or shall cause the Operator to, at its own expense (subject to Section 11.6), make (or cause
to be made) all Severable and Nonseverable Modifications to the Platform as may be required from time to time to meet the requirements of Section 11.1 or to maintain the insurance coverage of Section 13 (a “Required
Modification”), unless the Lessee shall have made an irrevocable election to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 7.2; provided, that if for any reason this Lease is not terminated on the applicable Termination Date, the
provisions of this Section 11.3 shall be automatically reinstated. The Lessee shall complete (or cause to be completed) all Modifications in a good and workmanlike manner, with reasonable dispatch and in a manner which does not decrease the
value of the Platform or decrease the remaining economic useful life or decrease the utility of the Platform or cause the Platform to become “limited use property” within the meaning of Revenue Procedure 2001-28 or 2001-29. 
  
 11.4 Optional Modifications. Subject to the terms of the Tax Indemnity
Agreement, the Lessee, at its own expense, may make (or cause to be made) such other Severable and Nonseverable Modifications to the Platform or any component thereof not required by Section 11.3 (“Optional Modifications”)
except that no Optional Modification shall (i) have a material adverse effect on the then current value, the utility, the residual value or the remaining economic useful life of the Platform, (ii) cause the Platform to become “limited use
property” within the meaning of Revenue Procedure 2001-28 or 2001-29, (iii) alter the primary function of the Platform (namely to drill for and/or produce oil and gas), taken as a whole, from that for which it was designed and intended or (iv)
violate (a) any applicable Governmental Rules or Governmental Actions, (b) any requirements of any insurance policy required to be maintained pursuant to Section 13 hereof, (c) any manufacturers’ warranties or (d) the provisions of this

 11.5 Title to Modifications; Purchase Option for Certain Severable Modifications. (a) Title to the
Lessor’s Share of all Required Modifications shall immediately vest in the Lessor and shall automatically become part of the Platform and the Undivided Interest and become subject to this Lease and to the Lien of the Indenture. So long as no
Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lessee may remove (or cause to be removed), subject to clause (c) below, any Severable Modification that is not a Required Modification; provided,
however, that the Lessee shall promptly repair any damage to the Platform from such removal. 
  
 (b) Title to the Lessee’s Share of any Nonseverable Modification that is an Optional Modification shall be immediately vested in Lessor. Title to the
Lessee’s Share of all Severable Modifications that are Optional Modifications shall immediately and automatically vest in the Lessee. 
  
 (c) If Lessee, at its cost, causes Severable Modifications that are not Required Modifications to be made to the Platform and such Severable Modifications
have not been removed by Lessee or purchased by Lessor at the Lease Termination Date, upon return and surrender of the Undivided Interest, at Lessor’s option, title to the undivided interest in such Severable Modifications shall thereupon pass
to Lessor at no cost to Lessor upon surrender of the Undivided Interest or Lessor may with the consent of the Other Undivided Interests, cause, at Lessee’s expense, such Severable Modifications to be removed upon surrender of the Undivided
Interest. 
  
 11.6 Payment for Modifications. If the Lessee
intends to seek financing for the cost of any Severable Modification that is a Required Modification, the Lessee shall first provide the Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Participant with written notice of such Modification at least 45
days prior to the date of such proposed financing. The cost of the Lessor’s Share of such Modification may be financed through the issuance of Additional Notes to the extent permitted under Section 14 of the Participation Agreement and subject
to the conditions set forth therein. 
  
 11.7 Replacement of
Components; Title to Components; Removal of Property. Subject to the terms of the Tax Indemnity Agreement, any Component or Replacement Component may be removed and replaced with a Replacement Component and so long as no Lease Default or Lease
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon such replacement, the Lessee (or its designee) shall be entitled to retain the amount of the net proceeds of any sale or disposition of any such removed Component or Replacement Component. Any
such Replacement Components shall be free and clear of all Liens, except Permitted Liens, and in as good operating condition as, and with a current value, residual value, utility and economic useful life at least equal to, the Components or
Replacement Components replaced, assuming such replaced Components or Replacement Components were in at least the condition and repair required to be maintained hereunder and shall not, individually or in the aggregate, adversely affect the
Platform’s current value, residual value, utility or economic useful life. Immediately upon any Replacement Component becoming incorporated in the Platform, without further act, (i) title to the Lessor’s Share of such Replacement Component
thereupon shall vest in the Lessor or such Person as shall be designated by the Lessor, (ii) the Lessor’s Share of such Replacement Component shall become subject to the Lien of the Indenture and to this Lease and shall be 
  

					
	 	 	 	 	Spinnaker
	 	 	 	 	Lease Agreement 2005-l

 -23- 

 deemed a part of the Undivided Interest for all purposes thereof and hereof to the same extent as the Lessor’s Share
of the Component or Replacement Component it replaced, and (iii) title to the Lessor’s Share of such removed Component or Replacement Component shall vest in the Lessee or such Person as shall be designated by the Lessee and shall be free and
clear of all rights of the Lessor and the Indenture Trustee and shall no longer be deemed a Component or a Replacement Component hereunder. If, at any time during the Lease Term, the Lessee shall conclude that any property included in the Platform
is obsolete, redundant or unnecessary and can be removed without diminution of the then current value, residual value or utility of the Platform or reduction of the remaining economic useful life of the Platform (as measured immediately prior to
such removal) and without causing the Platform to become “limited use property” within the meaning of Revenue Procedure 2001-28 or 2001-29, the Lessee may remove (or cause to be removed) such property; provided that, if such removed
property is sold for in excess of $100,000, the Lessor’s Share of the proceeds from such sale shall be paid by the Lessee to the Lessor within a reasonable period after the Lessee’s receipt of such sale proceeds and shall be held as part
of the Indenture Estate. 
  
 11.8 [Intentionally Omitted].

  
 11.9 [Intentionally Omitted]. 
  
 11.10 Fuel, Oil, Etc. The Lessor acknowledges that such fuel,
lubricating oil and unbroached consumable stores as may be on board the Platform at the time of its delivery to the Lessee hereunder and allocable to the Undivided Interest will be the property of the Lessee. 
  
 11.11 Identification of Platform. Neither the Lessor nor the Lessee
shall take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the Platform to cease to be entitled to the same classification that the Platform had from the Classification Society on the Closing Date (subject to any reduction in classification
resulting from the age of the Platform). Except as otherwise directed by the Lessor, the Lessee shall prevent the name of any Person other than that of the Lessee or any Affiliate thereof (and the other owners and secured parties with respect to the
Other Undivided Interests) from being placed on any part of the Platform as a designation that reasonably might be interpreted as a claim of ownership or right to possession or use thereof. 
  
 11.12 [Intentionally Omitted]. 
  
 11.13 Required Filings. The Lessee shall prepare and file in a timely
fashion, or where the Lessor shall be required to file, the Lessee shall prepare or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Lessor within a reasonable time prior to the date for filing, any reports with respect to the Undivided Interest, or the
condition or operation thereof, that shall be required to be filed with any Governmental Authority in order to comply with any Governmental Rule or Governmental Action. 
  
 11.14 Repair of Platform. In the event of any damage to the Platform which does not constitute an Event of Loss,
subject to Section 11.7, the Lessee shall, at no expense to the Lessor, as soon as commercially practicable, but in any event prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, repair, restore or rebuild (or shall cause to be repaired, restored or
rebuilt) the damaged or destroyed property so that upon completion of such repair, restoration or rebuilding, the value,

 EVENT OF LOSS 
  
 12.1 Notice of Event of Loss. If an Event of Loss shall occur, the Lessee shall promptly notify the Lessor, the Owner Participant and the Indenture
Trustee of the occurrence thereof.

election to either: 
  
 (i) (A) except as
provided in clause (i)(B) below, pay to the Lessor as compensation for such Event of Loss, on the Termination Value Determination Date immediately following the date of such election, the Termination Value for the Undivided Interest as of such

 12.3 Application of Payments Upon an Event of Loss. (a) All payments (other than insurance
proceeds, which shall be governed by Section 13 hereof) received by the Lessor or by the Lessee from any Governmental Authority or other Person as compensation for, or as a result of, an Event of Loss as to which Section l2.2(a)(i)
applies shall be applied as follows: 
  
 (i) all
such payments received at any time by the Lessee shall be promptly paid to the Indenture Trustee, unless the Lien of the Indenture shall have been discharged pursuant to the terms thereof, in which case such payments shall be paid to the Lessor, for
application pursuant to the following provisions of this Section 12.3(a), except that, so long as no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessee may retain any amounts that the Lessor would at the
time be obligated to pay to the Lessee as reimbursement under the provisions of subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) hereof; 
  
 (ii) so much of such payments as shall not exceed the amount required to be paid by the Lessee pursuant to Section 12.2(a)(i)
hereof attributable to the applicable Base Termination Value shall be applied to reduce the Lessee’s obligation to pay such amount unless such amount already shall have been paid by the Lessee and, if such amount already shall have been paid by
the Lessee, shall be applied to reimburse the Lessee for its payment thereof unless a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
  
 (iii) so much of such payments, if any, as shall exceed the amount required to be paid by the Lessee
pursuant to Section 12.2(a)(i) hereof attributable to the applicable Base Termination Value shall be allocated between the Lessee and the Lessor in accordance with their respective interests in the Platform; provided, however,
that if a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such amount shall be handled as provided in Section 12.5 hereof. 
  

(b) All payments received at any time by the Lessor or the Lessee from any Governmental Authority or other Person (other than insurance proceeds, which
shall be governed by Section 13 hereof) with respect to any such loss, theft or destruction of, or damage to, the Platform constituting an Event of Loss as to which Section 12.2(a)(ii) applies shall be paid over to the Indenture
Trustee (unless the Lien of the Indenture shall have been discharged pursuant to the terms thereof, in which case such payment shall be paid to, or retained by, the Lessor) for application pursuant to the following provisions of this Section
12.3(b). If the Lessee receives proceeds that are to be paid to the Lessor or the Indenture Trustee, it shall hold such proceeds in trust for the Person entitled thereto and immediately pay such proceeds to such Person entitled thereto. So long
as no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such proceeds shall be paid over to the Lessee or as the Lessee may direct from time to time as the replacement of the Platform progresses to pay (or reimburse the
Lessee for) the cost of such replacement, so long as prior to each such payment the Lessee shall have furnished evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant that the amount of such proceeds received and not yet disbursed by the
Indenture Trustee or the Lessor, as the case may be, on account of such loss, theft, destruction or damage, are sufficient to pay the estimated cost of completing such replacement. Payment of such proceeds shall be made only against actual
expenditures or invoices from third parties in respect thereof and only upon the written request of the Lessee, accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor and (unless the Lien of the Indenture shall have been discharged pursuant
to the terms thereof) the Indenture Trustee that the replacement of the Platform has been completed or is being completed in accordance with Section 11, that all filings and recordations so as to protect the right, title and interest of the
Lessor and the Indenture Trustee therein have been made, that the Lessee has made actual cash

amounts thereof, that no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder and that there are no Liens other than Permitted Liens on or in respect of the Platform. Upon the written request of the Lessee to the Lessor
and (unless the Lien of the Indenture shall have been discharged pursuant to the terms thereof) the Indenture Trustee, accompanied by evidence (reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant, the Lessor and (unless the Lien of the Indenture shall
have been discharged pursuant to the terms thereof) the Indenture Trustee), that such replacement of the Platform has been completed and the costs thereof paid in full and that there are no Liens other than Permitted Liens on the Platform, the
balance, if any, of such proceeds shall, unless a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be paid over or assigned to the Lessee or as the Lessee may direct. Unless a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, all such proceeds, including any interest accrued thereon (less the actual out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred in the collection thereof), actually received by the Lessee or returned to it pursuant
to the terms of this Lease on account of any such loss, theft, destruction or damage other than an Event of Loss, or on account of an Event of Loss as to which Section 12.2(a)(ii) applies, and not to be held in trust and turned over to the
Lessor or the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 12.3(b) shall be applied by the Lessee to restore the Platform to the condition required by Section 11 and the balance remaining, if any, shall be retained by the Lessee.

payment shall be paid to, or retained by, the Lessor) to the extent of the Platform for application pursuant to the following provisions of this Section 12.4. If the Lessee receives proceeds that are to be paid to the Lessor or the Indenture
Trustee, it shall hold such proceeds in trust for the Person entitled thereto and immediately pay such proceeds to such Person entitled thereto. So long as no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such
proceeds shall be paid over to the Lessee or as the Lessee may direct from time to time as replacement of the Platform progresses to pay (or reimburse the Lessee for) the cost of such replacement so long as prior to each such payment the Lessee
shall have furnished evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant and, so long as the Lien of the Indenture is in effect, the Indenture Trustee, that the amount of such proceeds received and not yet disbursed by the Indenture Trustee or
the Lessor, as the case may be, on account of such condemnation, confiscation, seizure or requisitioning, are sufficient to pay the remaining estimated costs of completing such replacement. Payment of such proceeds shall be made only against actual
expenditures or invoices from third parties in respect thereof and only upon the written request of the Lessee, accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor and (unless the Lien of the Indenture shall have been discharged pursuant
to the terms thereof) the Indenture Trustee that the replacement of the Platform has been completed or is being completed in accordance with Section 11 hereof, that all filings and recordations so as to protect the right, title and interest
of the Lessor and the Indenture Trustee therein have been made, that the Lessee has made actual cash expenditures or, in the case of third parties, binding commitments thereof, for such

of the Platform has been completed and the costs thereof paid in full and that there are no Liens other than Permitted Liens on or in respect of the Platform, the balance, if any, of such proceeds, including any interest earned thereon, shall, so
long as no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be allocated between the Lessee and the Lessor in accordance with their respective interests in the Platform. Unless a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, all such proceeds (less the actual out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred in the collection thereof) actually received by the Lessee or returned to it pursuant to the terms of this Lease on account of
any such condemnation, confiscation, seizure or requisitioning other than an Event of Loss, or on account of an Event of Loss as to which Section 12.2(a)(ii) applies, and not to be held in trust and turned over to the Lessor or the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to this Section 12.4 shall be applied by the Lessee to restore the Platform to the condition required by Section 11 and the balance remaining, if any, shall be allocated between the Lessee and the Lessor in accordance
with their respective interests in the Platform. 
  
 12.5 Lease
Default or Lease Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under the Operative Documents, as long as any Lease Default or any Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any amount that otherwise would be

the Lien of the Indenture is still in effect) as security for the obligations of the Lessee under this Lease and, subject to the Indenture, applied against the Lessee’s payment obligations hereunder when and as they become due and payable and,
at such time thereafter as no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall be continuing, such amount shall, to the extent not theretofore applied as provided herein or in the Indenture, be paid promptly to the Lessee or as it may direct.

of any stay or similar law or otherwise at a time when a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), then, if the Lessor shall draw on the Letter of Credit (or any other letter of credit naming the Lessor and/ or the Owner Participant as
a beneficiary as contemplated by Section 10.14 of the Participation Agreement) then in effect, to the extent any proceeds of such draw have not previously been applied pursuant to Section 3.9, such proceeds shall be applied towards the

drawing under any Letter of Credit shall not, in and of itself, effect a termination of this Lease or modify or reduce in any respect the Lessee’s obligation to continue (x) paying Base Rent as and when due (as adjusted pursuant to Section
4, including in accordance with Section 3.9), and (y) performing each and all of the Lessee’s obligations under this Lease as if no such declaration of a Lease Event of Default and/or demand for payment had been made; or

 16.3 Louisiana Specific Remedies. In the event that this Lease shall be deemed a finance lease under Chapter 9 of the Louisiana Commercial Laws and
for purposes of foreclosure under Louisiana foreclosure process procedures, the following shall apply. Should a Lease Event of Default occur, Lessor shall be entitled to foreclose under this Agreement under ordinary or executory process procedures,
and to cause the Undivided Interest, Platform, Lessor’s Undivided Share of all Modifications to the Platform and any and all other property leased to Lessee by Lessor (collectively referred to in this Section 16.3 as the “Leased
Property”) to be immediately seized wherever found, and sold with or without appraisal, in regular session of court or in vacation, in accordance with applicable Louisiana law, without the necessity of further demanding payment from Lessee,
or of notifying Lessee or placing Lessee in default. For purposes of foreclosure under Louisiana executory process procedures, Lessee confesses judgment and acknowledges to be indebted to Lessor up to the full amount of all of the payment
obligations (referred to in this Section 16.3 as the “Lease Obligations”) set forth in this Lease, in principal, interest, costs, expenses, attorney’s fees and other fees and charges, and all other amounts set forth in
this Lease. To the extent permitted under applicable Louisiana law, Lessee additionally waives: (1) the benefit of appraisal as provided under Articles 2332, 2336, 2723 and 2724 of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure, and all other laws with
regard to appraisal upon judicial sale; (2) the demand and three (3) days’ delay as provided under Articles 2639 and 2721 of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure; (3) the notice of seizure as provided under Articles 2293 and 2721 of the
Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure; (4) the three (3) days’ delay provided under Articles 2331 and 2722 of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure; and (5) all other benefits provided under Articles 2331, 2722 and 2723 of the Louisiana Code of
Civil Procedure and all other Articles not specifically mentioned above. Lessee further agrees that any declaration of fact made by authentic act before a Notary Public and two witnesses by a person declaring that such facts are within his or her
knowledge shall constitute authentic evidence of such facts for purposes of foreclosure under applicable Louisiana law. Lessee further agrees that Lessor may appoint a keeper of the Leased Property in the event of foreclosure pursuant to La. R.S.
9:5136, et seq. All expenses relating to the sale or other disposition of the Leased Property, including without limitation, Lessor’s attorney’s fees and expenses of retaking, holding, insuring, preparing for the sale and
selling the Leased Property, shall become part of the Lease Obligations contemplated by this Lease and shall be payable upon demand, with interest, from the date of expenditure until Lessor is paid in full. Lessee further agrees that all of the
remedies provided herein are and shall be cumulative in nature and nothing under this Lease shall limit or restrict the remedies available to Lessor following a Lease Event of Default. 
  
 16.4 Remedies Cumulative. To the extent permitted by applicable law and except as provided herein, no remedy under
Section 16.1 is intended to be exclusive, but each remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy provided under Section 16.1 or otherwise available to the Lessor at law or in equity. No express or implied waiver by the
Lessor of any Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Lease Default or Lease Event of Default. The failure or delay of the Lessor in exercising any rights granted it
hereunder upon the occurrence of any of the contingencies set forth herein shall not constitute a waiver of any such right upon the 
  

					
	 	 	 	 	Spinnaker
	 	 	 	 	Lease Agreement 2005-l

 -44- 

 continuation or recurrence of any such contingencies or similar contingencies and any single or partial exercise of any
particular right by the Lessor shall not exhaust the same or constitute a waiver of any other right provided herein. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Lessee hereby waives any rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise
which may enable it to cancel, quit or surrender this Lease, except as otherwise provided herein, or which may require the Lessor to sell, lease or otherwise use the Undivided Interest in mitigation of the Lessor’s damages as set forth in
Section 16.1 or which may limit or modify any of the Lessor’s rights and remedies provided in Section 16.1. 
  
 In the event the Lessor terminates this Lease pursuant to any provision of this Section 16 pursuant to which Base Termination Value (or an amount
determined by reference to Base Termination Value) is not paid, the amounts otherwise payable by the Lessee hereunder shall be increased by the amount (as a payment for accrued but unpaid Base Rent) of the Lessee Section 467 Loan Balance set forth
on Schedule 2 opposite the relevant Base Termination Value Determination Date and upon payment of all such amounts payable by the Lessee hereunder and after Lessee has paid all other amounts due and payable to Lessor and each other person
payable under the Operative Documents, the Lessor shall pay to the Lessee (as a rebate of prepaid Base Rent) the amount set forth for such Base Termination Value Determination Date in the column captioned Lessor Section 467 Loan Balance of
Schedule 2 (as adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof); provided, however, that to the extent that such payment or rebate does not precisely reflect the difference between Base Rent allocated and Base Rent paid as of the
date Base Rent ceases to accrue, the amounts due hereunder shall be further adjusted to ensure that the aggregate amount of Base Rent paid equals the aggregate amount of Base Rent allocated as of the date Base Rent ceases to accrue. 
  
 SECTION 17 
  
 NOTICES 
  
 All communications, notices and consents provided for in this Lease Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given in person or by courier, or mailed by
registered or certified first class mail, return receipt requested, or overnight courier, addressed as set forth in Schedule 17.3 to the Participation Agreement or at such other address as any such Person may from time to time designate by notice
duly given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 17 to the other parties hereto. Any notice delivered by hand shall become effective when delivered. Any notice delivered by courier service or mail shall become effective on the
date of receipt (which may be established, without limitation, by reference to evidence of delivery provided by such courier service or by the mail return receipt). 
  
 SECTION 18 
  
 RIGHT TO PERFORM FOR LESSEE 
  
 18.1 Lessor’s Right to Perform for Lessee. If the Lessee shall fail to make any payment to be made by it hereunder or shall fail to perform or
comply with any of its other agreements contained herein or in any other Operative Document relating to the Undivided Interest or this Lease, following written notice to the Lessee, the Lessor may, but shall not be 
  

					
	 	 	 	 	Spinnaker
	 	 	 	 	Lease Agreement 2005-l

 -45- 

 obligated to, make such payment or perform or comply with such agreement, and the amount of such payment and the amount
of all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such payment or the performance of or compliance with such agreement, as the
case may be, together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate, shall be deemed Supplemental Rent for the Undivided Interest, payable by the Lessee within 5 Business Days’ demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
foregoing, the provisions of this Section 18.1 shall in no event restrict any of Lessor’s rights following the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default, it being agreed and understood that Lessor shall be entitled to exercise all of its
remedies pursuant to Section 15 upon the occurrence of any such event. 
  
 18.2 Performance by Guarantor and Sublessees. Any final and indefeasible payment by the Guarantor of any amount payable by the Lessee under any Operative Document shall constitute, as between the Lessee and the
Lessor, payment of such amount by the Lessee for all purposes of this Lease (including, without limitation, Section 15) and any performance by the Guarantor or any sublessee under any Operative Document shall constitute, as between the Lessee
and the Lessor, performance by the Lessee of such obligation for all purposes of this Lease; it being understood that with regard to any payment made in cash by the Guarantor or any sublessee, the Lessee will not be considered to be in default under
this Lease unless and until such time that such payment is determined to be either not final or not indefeasible. 
  
 SECTION 19 
  
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 19.1 Amendments in Writing.
Neither this Lease nor any of the terms hereof may be amended, supplemented, waived or modified orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change is sought. 
  
 19.2 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Lease which may
be determined by competent authority to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without invalidating or rendering unenforceable any remaining
provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto hereby waive any
provision of law which renders any provision hereof invalid or unenforceable in any respect. 
  
 19.3 Governing Law. THIS LEASE SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW
YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, BUT EXCLUDING TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL OTHER CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES AND CHOICE OF LAW RULES OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE.

 19.4 Headings. The division of this Lease into sections, the provision of a table of contents and
the insertion of headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Lease. 
  
 19.5 Counterpart Execution. This Lease may be executed in any number of counterparts and by each of the parties hereto on separate counterparts,
all such counterparts together constituting but one and the same instrument, with the counterpart containing the receipt therefor executed by the Indenture Trustee on or immediately following the signature page thereof being deemed the
“original chattel paper executed counterpart” and all other counterparts being deemed duplicates. For purposes of recordation, Lessor and Lessee agree that certain information set forth on Schedules 1 through 3 may be omitted
from the counterpart presented for filing. 
  
 19.6 Successors
and Assigns. This Lease, including the terms and provisions hereof, shall be binding upon the Lessor and the Lessee and their respective successors and assigns and inure to the benefit of the Lessor and the Lessee and their respective successors
and permitted assigns. 
  
 19.7 Investment of Security
Funds. Any amounts held by the Lessor as security hereunder or under any other Operative Document that would be payable to the Lessee upon satisfaction of any applicable conditions shall be invested and reinvested by the Lessor (or, so long as
the Undivided Interest shall be subject to the Lien of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee), from time to time in Permitted Investments at the written direction of the Lessee. Neither the Lessor nor the Indenture Trustee shall have any liability
for any loss resulting from any investment required to be made other than by reason of its willful misconduct or gross negligence. Any net income or gain realized as a result of any such investment or reinvestment shall be applied at the same time,
on the same conditions and in the same manner as the amounts in respect of which such income or gain was realized are required to be distributed in accordance with the provisions hereof, or of any other Operative Document pursuant to which such
amounts were required to be held. The Lessee shall be responsible for any net loss realized as a result of any such investment or reinvestment and shall reimburse the Lessor (or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be) therefor on demand. Any
Permitted Investment may be sold or otherwise reduced to cash (without regard to maturity) by the Lessor or the Indenture Trustee whenever necessary to make any application as required by the terms of this Lease or any other Operative Document.

  
 19.8 Immunities; Satisfaction of Undertakings; Successor
Lessor Trustee. Each of the representations, warranties, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Lessor are made and intended not as personal representations, warranties, undertakings and agreements by or for the purpose or
with the intention of binding the Trust Company personally but are made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust Estate, and this Lease is executed and delivered by the Trust Company solely in the exercise of the powers expressly
conferred upon it as trustee under the Trust Agreement; and no personal liability or responsibility is assumed hereunder by, or at any time shall be enforceable against, the Trust Company or any successor in trust on account of any representation,
warranty, undertaking or agreement hereunder of the Trust Company, either expressed or implied, all such personal liability, if any, being expressly waived by the Lessee; provided, however, that (a) the Lessee or any Person claiming
by, through 
  

					
	 	 	 	 	Spinnaker
	 	 	 	 	Lease Agreement 2005-l

 -47- 

 or under it, making claim hereunder, may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, look to the Trust Estate for
satisfaction of such liability or responsibility and (b) the Trust Company or its successor in trust, as applicable, shall be personally liable for its own gross negligence and willful misconduct and for the matters described in clauses (i) through
(v) of Section 7.1 of the Trust Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each time a successor Lessor Trustee is appointed in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, such successor Lessor Trustee shall, without further
act, succeed to all the rights, duties, immunities and obligations of its predecessor Lessor Trustee hereunder and under the other Operative Documents, and the predecessor Lessor Trustee shall be released from all further duties and obligations
hereunder and under the other Operative Documents, all without the necessity of any consent or approval by the Lessee and without in any way altering the terms of this Lease or such other Operative Documents or the obligations of the Lessee
hereunder or thereunder. The Lessee, at its expense, upon receipt of written notice of the appointment of a successor Lessor Trustee in accordance with the Operative Documents, promptly shall make such modifications and changes to reflect such
appointment as reasonably shall be requested by such successor Lessor Trustee in such insurance policies, schedules, certificates and other instruments relating to the Undivided Interest or this Lease or the other Operative Documents, all in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to such successor Lessor Trustee. 
  
 19.9 Performance of Obligations to Indenture Trustee and Holders. After the Undivided Interest shall no longer be subject to the Lien of the Indenture, the provisions of this Lease which require or permit any action by, any consent,
approval or authorization of, the furnishing of any document, paper or information to, or the performance of any other obligation to, any Indenture Trustee or any Holder shall not be effective, and the Sections hereof containing such provisions
shall be read as though there were no such references to any such requirements or permissions. 
  
 19.10 True Lease. This Lease is intended as and shall constitute an agreement of lease and nothing herein shall be construed as conveying to the Lessee any right, title or interest in or to the Undivided
Interest other than as lessee hereunder, it being expressly understood by the parties hereto that the foregoing does not constitute a covenant, representation or warranty of the Lessee. 
  
 19.11 Memorandum of Lease. The Lessor and the Lessee have executed and delivered the Memorandum of Lease for the
purpose of recordation in the Immovable Property Records of Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes, Louisiana; in order to give notice of all of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease. The Memorandum of Lease is not intended and is not to be
construed to amend or in any way modify any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Lease. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, the Lessor and the Lessee shall execute, deliver and cause to be recorded a termination of the
Memorandum of Lease at Lessee’s expense.

 EXHIBIT A

 Platform Lease 
  
 DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION OF PLATFORM 
  
 Description of
Platform 
  
 The spar facility is a mini-truss Spar hull configuration,
supporting a topsides structure which is attached to the upper side of the truss hull above the level of the sea and waves. The topsides include the production equipment, a helideck, and accommodations for the operating crew. The facility is moored
in place by nine (9) line wire and chain mooring system. 
  
 The process facility
includes three-phase separation, gas dehydration, and compression capabilities and is designed for maximum production of 60,000 barrels of oil per day and 110 million cubic feet of gas per day. 
  
 The hull section of the spar consists of a ‘hard tank’ section, truss section and
‘soft tank’ section. The hard tank is 94 feet in diameter and provides the buoyancy while the soft tank section is the lowermost part of the hull and is used to help ballast the spar. The truss is a structural section connecting the hard
and soft tanks. The overall length of the hull is 586 feet with the top 50 feet above the water line. 
  
 The topsides of the spar consists of three main decks approximately 160 ft. x 120 ft. each. The uppermost deck, the drilling deck, sits about 140 ft. above sea level. The drilling deck is designed to support a
portable 1500 HP workover and completion drilling set, including associated power generators, drilling fluid processing machinery, and temporary accommodations for associated crew. If major drilling activity is required, the spar can be moved 350
feet to the side in order to position a drilling rig over the wells. The two lower decks (cellar deck and production deck) contain processing equipment necessary to process well fluids to pipeline quality. The living quarters on the topsides can
accommodate 26 persons. 
  
 Below the spar are eight risers that terminate with
dry trees in a center wellbay within the topsides. The risers are held vertical by means of an air can system near the top of each riser. 
  
 Location of Platform 
  
 The Front Runner IPS is a floating production facility located in Green Canyon Block 338, over the existing wells, in approximately 3,300 feet of water in federal Outer
Continental Shelf waters off the coast Louisiana (Terrebonne and Lafourche Parishes). Green Canyon Block 338 is located on the Minerals Management Service OCS Official Protraction Diagram at NG 15-3.
