Re: SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc.

Form 10-12B

Filed December 14, 2016

File No. 001-37966

Dear Ms. Block:

On behalf of SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. (“SEACOR Marine” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, we submit in electronic form for filing the accompanying Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form 10 (the “Registration Statement”) of the Company, together with the Information Statement incorporated therein by reference (the “Information Statement”) and other exhibits thereto. The Information Statement has been marked to indicate changes to the Information Statement included as an exhibit to Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on February 9, 2017.

Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement and the related Information Statement reflect the responses of the Company to comments received from the Staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) in a letter from Susan Block, dated February 24, 2017 (the “Comment Letter”). The discussion below is presented in the order of the numbered comments in the Comment Letter. Certain capitalized terms set forth in this letter are used as defined in the Information Statement. For your convenience, references in the responses to page numbers are to the blacklined version of the Information Statement sent under separate cover to the Staff.

The Company has asked us to convey the following as its responses to the Staff:

Exhibit 99.1

Information Statement

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition, page 69

Impairments, page 71

We note your response to prior comment 8; however, we were unable to locate disclosure of the specific assumptions used in your estimates in preparing the undiscounted future cash flows for the vessel impairment analysis. Please tell us and disclose the significant assumptions used in reviewing vessels for impairment, including, but not limited to, utilization rates, average charter rates, and average daily operating expenses. Also include the historical period of time (e.g. 1, 3, 5, 10 years) upon which this information is based, and provide the basis for the period of time for the amounts used, and why you consider these amounts to be reasonable. Finally, tell us how the amounts used in your analysis compare to actual amounts experienced currently and over the last period.

Response to Comment 1

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has included additional disclosure in the Information Statement related to its impairment analysis. The Company has informed us that for those vessel classes and individual vessels not impaired in 2016, estimates of future undiscounted cash flows held constant at market levels experienced in 2016 would recover their current carrying values over their expected remaining useful lives. For those vessel classes and individual vessels that were impaired in 2016, estimates of future undiscounted cash flows were deemed insufficient to recover their carrying value and impairment charges were recorded to reduce their carrying values to estimated fair values established by independent appraisers and other market data. Please see pages 96-97and F-20-F-21 of the Information Statement.

Consolidated and Combined Results of Operations, page 72

We note your response to prior comment 9. Please revise to provide disclosure regarding the limitations of the usefulness of the non-GAAP measure, “Direct Vessel Profit”, to emphasize that the excluded costs (i.e., costs of leased-in equipment, administrative and general) are essential to support the operations of your vessels. Also in this regard, the presentation of the reconciliation of the non-GAAP measure to its most comparable GAAP measure should begin with operating income, and then list the adjustments to arrive at “Direct Vessel Profit.” Please revise.

Response to Comment 2

The Company has removed the presentation of consolidated Direct Vessel Profit from the Information Statement.


3.	Please explain to us in more detail why it is reasonable to include the revenues derived from leased-in equipment while excluding their related costs and expenses in your non-GAAP presentation.

Response to Comment 3

The Company has removed the presentation of consolidated Direct Vessel Profit from the Information Statement.


4.	Please revise to provide a statement disclosing the reason(s) why management believes that presentation of the non-GAAP measure “Direct Vessel Profit” provides useful information to investors regarding the company’s financial condition and results of operations in accordance with Item 10(e)(1)(i)(C).

Response to Comment 4

The Company has removed the presentation of consolidated Direct Vessel Profit from the Information Statement.

Gain (Losses) on Asset Dispositions and Impairments, page 81

You state in the first paragraph of your response to comment 10 that you generally do not evaluate impairment on a specific vessel by vessel basis. However, we note your disclosure on page F-41 you determined that one mini-supply vessel, one specialty vessel, 13 anchor handling towing supply vessels, eight supply vessels and 13 liftboats, in which there is sufficient uncertainty as to whether or not their carrying values would be recovered as of September 30, 2016. In that regard, explain to us how you can pinpoint the vessels failing the step 1 or undiscounted cash flows part of the impairment test while you do not evaluate impairment on a specific vessel by vessel basis.

Response to Comment 5

The Company has informed us that for most of its vessels, the Company performs the analysis required by ASC 360 on a vessel class basis as described in the response to Comment No. 1. The Company has informed us that for vessels not grouped by class, including retired and out of service vessels and other unique vessels, it performs the analysis on a vessel by vessel basis. The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and would like to inform the Staff that the number of vessels that failed step 1 was intended to indicate the number of vessels in aggregate within the asset classes that failed and not individual vessels that were evaluated separately. To prevent further confusion, the Company removed the number of vessels included in the fleets with recorded impairment.

We thank the Staff for its attention to the Company’s submission and we look forward to hearing from you regarding the Registration Statement and the related Information Statement. If I can be of any assistance during the Staff’s review of the enclosed draft Registration Statement, please contact me, collect, by telephone at (212) 530-5301 or by facsimile at (212) 822-5301.

Section 2.7 State Securities Laws

Prior to the Distribution Date, SEACOR and SEACOR Marine shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate under the securities or blue sky laws of states or other political subdivisions of the United States of America in order to effect the Distribution.

Section 2.8 Listing Application; Notice to NYSE

(a)Except as otherwise specified in any Ancillary Agreement, (i) in the event that at any time before or after the Distribution Date, SEACOR or SEACOR Marine identifies any SEACOR Marine Liability for which SEACOR is a guarantor or obligor, SEACOR Marine shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have, as soon as reasonably practicable, SEACOR removed as guarantor of or obligor for any such Liability of SEACOR Marine, and (ii) in the event that at any time before or after the Distribution Date, SEACOR or SEACOR Marine identifies any SEACOR Liability for which any member of the SEACOR Marine Group is a guarantor or obligor, SEACOR shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have, as soon as reasonably practicable, any such member of the SEACOR Marine Group removed as guarantor of or obligor for any such Liability of SEACOR.

(b)If either Party is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required removal as set forth in Section 2.9(a), the guarantor or obligor shall continue to be bound as such and, unless not permitted by Law or the terms thereof, the applicable Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the relevant beneficiary to cause one of its Affiliates, as agent or subcontractor for such guarantor or obligor to pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of the relevant guarantor or obligor thereunder from and after the date hereof.

(c)If (i) SEACOR Marine is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required removal as set forth in Section 2.9(a), or (ii) SEACOR Marine Liabilities arise from and after the Effective Time but before SEACOR, if it is a guarantor or obligor with reference to any such SEACOR Marine Liability, is removed pursuant to Section 2.9(a), then (x) SEACOR shall be indemnified by SEACOR Marine for all Liabilities incurred by it in its capacity as guarantor or obligor and (y) SEACOR Marine shall pay to SEACOR a fee in respect of any guarantees that remain in place after the Distribution Date, at the rate of 0.5% (50 basis points) per annum of the aggregate amount guaranteed by SEACOR (or any member of the SEACOR Group) from time to time. Without limiting the foregoing, SEACOR Marine shall, or shall cause a member of the SEACOR Marine Group to, reimburse SEACOR as soon as practicable (but in no event later than 30 days) following delivery by SEACOR to SEACOR Marine of notice of a payment made pursuant to this Section 2.9 in respect of SEACOR Marine Liabilities.

(d)If (i) SEACOR is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required removal as set forth in Section 2.9(a), or (ii) SEACOR Liabilities arise from and after the Effective Time but before SEACOR Marine, if it is a guarantor or obligor with reference to any such SEACOR Marine Liability, is removed pursuant to Section 2.9(a), then SEACOR Marine shall be indemnified by SEACOR for all Liabilities incurred by it in its capacity as guarantor or obligor. Without limiting the foregoing, SEACOR shall, or shall cause a member of the SEACOR Group to, reimburse SEACOR Marine as soon as practicable (but in no event later than 30 days) following delivery by SEACOR Marine to SEACOR of notice of a payment made pursuant to this Section 2.9 in respect of SEACOR Liabilities.

(e)In the event that at any time before or after the Distribution Date SEACOR identifies any letters of credit, interest rate or foreign exchange contracts, surety bonds or other contracts (excluding guarantees) that relate to the SEACOR Marine Business but for which a member of the SEACOR group has contingent, secondary, joint, several or other Liability of any nature whatsoever, SEACOR Marine shall, at its expense, take such actions and enter into such agreements and arrangements as SEACOR may reasonably request to effect the release or substitution of SEACOR (or a member of the SEACOR Group).

(f)In the event that at any time before or after the Distribution Date SEACOR Marine identifies any letters of credit, interest rate or foreign exchange contracts, surety bonds or other contracts (excluding guarantees) that relate primarily to the SEACOR Business but for which a member of the SEACOR Marine Group has contingent, secondary, joint, several or other Liability of any nature whatsoever, SEACOR shall, at its expense, take such actions and enter into such agreements and arrangements as SEACOR Marine may reasonably request to effect the release or substitution of SEACOR Marine (or a member of the SEACOR Marine Group).

(g)At and after the Effective Time, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, any consent, substitution or amendment required to novate, assign or extinguish all SEACOR Marine Liabilities and SEACOR Liabilities of any nature whatsoever transferred under this Agreement or an Ancillary Agreement, or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of the assignor so that in each such case, SEACOR (or an appropriate member of the SEACOR Group) shall be solely responsible for the SEACOR Liabilities and SEACOR Marine (or an appropriate member of the SEACOR Marine Group) shall be solely responsible for the SEACOR Marine Liabilities; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor (except for filing fees or other similar charges) to any Third Party from whom such consent, substitution, amendment or release is requested. Whether or not any such consent, substitution, amendment or release is obtained, nothing in this Section 2.9 shall in any way limit the obligations of the parties under Article III. If, as and when it becomes possible to delegate, assign, novate or extinguish any SEACOR Marine Liabilities or SEACOR Liabilities in accordance with the terms hereof, the Parties shall promptly sign all such documents and perform all such other acts as may be necessary to give effect to such delegation, novation, extinction or other release; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor.

Section 2.10 Corporate Names; Trademarks

Section 2.11 Ancillary Agreements

Prior to the Distribution Date, each of SEACOR and SEACOR Marine shall enter into the Ancillary Agreements and any other agreements in respect of the Distribution reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

Section 2.12. Acknowledgment by SEACOR Marine

SEACOR Marine, on behalf of itself and all members of the SEACOR Marine Group, acknowledges, understands and agrees that, except as expressly set forth herein or in any Ancillary Agreement, (a) none of SEACOR or any other Person has, in this Agreement or in any other agreement or document, or otherwise, made any representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, to SEACOR Marine or any member of the SEACOR Marine Group or to any director, officer, employee or agent thereof in any way with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the business, assets, condition or prospects (financial or otherwise) of, or any other matter involving, the assets, Liabilities or businesses of SEACOR or any member of the SEACOR Group, SEACOR Marine or any member of the SEACOR Marine Group, any SEACOR Marine Assets, any SEACOR Marine Liabilities or the SEACOR Marine Business, and (b) none of SEACOR or any other Person has made or makes any representation or warranty with respect to the Distribution or the entering into of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Except as expressly set forth herein or in any other Ancillary Agreement, SEACOR Marine and each member of the SEACOR Marine Group shall bear the economic and legal risk that the SEACOR Marine Assets shall prove to be insufficient or that the title of any member of the SEACOR Marine Group to any SEACOR Marine Assets shall be other than good and marketable and free from encumbrances. The provisions of any related assignment agreement or other related documents are expressly subject to this Section 2.12 and to Section 2.13.

Section 2.13 Release

SEACOR Marine agrees that for itself and for its predecessors, Subsidiaries, departments, divisions and sections and for their successors, Affiliates, heirs, assigns, executors, administrators, Representatives, partners and stockholders (individually, each a “Releasor” and collectively, the “Releasors”), in consideration for the obligations and agreements of SEACOR hereunder, that, effective as of the Effective Time, it shall, through no further act of such Releasee, release, waive and forever discharge SEACOR and its predecessors, Subsidiaries, departments, divisions, sections, successors, Affiliates, heirs, assigns, executors, administrators, Representatives, partners and stockholders (individually, each a “Releasee” and collectively, the “Releasees”) from, and shall, in addition to other obligations under Article III, indemnify and hold harmless all such Persons against and from, all Liabilities of every name and nature, in law or equity, known or unknown, which against any Releasee, a Releasor ever had, now has or hereafter can, shall or may have by reason of any matter, act, omission, conduct, transaction or occurrence from the beginning of the world up to and including the Distribution Date for, upon, by reason of, asserted in or arising out of, or related to:

(a)the management of the business and affairs of SEACOR Marine (and its predecessors, Subsidiaries and Affiliates) and the SEACOR Marine Business on or prior to the Distribution Date;

(b)except as otherwise expressly provided under any Ancillary Agreement, the terms of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Distribution, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of SEACOR Marine; and

(c)except as otherwise expressly provided under any Ancillary Agreement, any other decision that may have been made, or any action taken, relating to SEACOR Marine (and its predecessors, subsidiaries and Affiliates) or the Distribution.

The term “Releasee” is expressly intended to include any person who served as an incorporator, director, officer, employee, agent or attorney of SEACOR Marine on or prior to the Distribution Date at the request of SEACOR.

For the avoidance of doubt, the purpose of this Section 2.13 is to make clear the intent of the Parties that, following the Distribution Date, the only Liability that any Releasee shall have to any Releasor shall be its obligation to perform its obligations under and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and any other agreements to which the Releasee and the Releasor are parties and there shall be no Liability in respect of any event, occurrence, action or inaction on or prior to the Distribution Date. The release in this Section 2.13 shall not extend to any Liabilities owed by a Releasee to a Releasor in the Releasor’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or other Representative or stockholder of Releasee nor shall it release any Liabilities or obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements or any other agreements to which the Releasee and the Releasor are parties.

(a)From and after the Effective Time, (i) SEACOR shall, and shall cause each member of the SEACOR Group to, assume, pay, perform and discharge all SEACOR Liabilities in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice and (ii) SEACOR Marine shall, and shall cause each member of the SEACOR Marine Group to, assume, pay, perform and discharge all SEACOR Marine Liabilities in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice.

To the extent reasonably requested to do so by the other Party, each Party agrees to execute and deliver such documents, in a form reasonably satisfactory to such Party, as may be reasonably necessary to evidence the assumption of any Liabilities hereunder.

Section 2.15 Further Assurances

ARTICLE III

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 3.1 Indemnification by SEACOR

Except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement from and after the Distribution Date, SEACOR shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the SEACOR Marine Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses of the SEACOR Marine Indemnitees to the extent arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with (a) the SEACOR Liabilities or alleged SEACOR Liabilities, including any breach by and member of the SEACOR Group of any provision of this Section 3.1 and (b) any breach by any member of the SEACOR Group of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to address, and should not be interpreted to address, the matters specifically and expressly covered by the Ancillary Agreements unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides that this Agreement applies to any matter in such Ancillary Agreement.

Section 3.2 Indemnification by SEACOR Marine

Except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement, from and after the Distribution Date, SEACOR Marine shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the SEACOR Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses of the SEACOR Indemnitees to the extent arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with (a) the SEACOR Marine Liabilities or alleged SEACOR Marine Liabilities, including any breach by any member of the SEACOR Marine Group of any provision of this Section 3.2 and (b) any breach by any member of the SEACOR Marine Group of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to address, and should not be interpreted to address, the matters specifically and expressly covered by the Ancillary Agreements unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides that this Agreement applies to any matter in such Ancillary Agreement.

Section 3.3 Procedures for Indemnification

(a)

(i) If a claim or demand is made by a Third Party against a SEACOR Marine Indemnitee or a SEACOR Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) (a “Third-Party Claim”) as to which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall notify the Party which is or may be required pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 hereof to make such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third-Party Claim promptly (and in any event by the date (the “Outside Notice Date”) that is the 15^th Business Day after receipt by such Indemnitee of written notice of the Third-Party Claim); provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(ii) Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof), copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim. Notice under this Section 3.3 shall be provided in accordance with Section 5.6. For the avoidance of doubt, knowledge of a Third Party Claim by a Person who is an officer or director of both SEACOR and SEACOR Marine shall not constitute notice for purposes of this Section 3.3.

(iii) If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses and irrevocably acknowledges without condition or reservation its obligation to fully indemnify the Indemnitee therefor, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnitee. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall, within 30 days (or sooner if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires), notify the Indemnitee of its intent to do so, and the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter not be liable to the Indemnitee for legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel to represent such Indemnitee if, in such Indemnitee’s reasonable judgment, (A) a conflict of interest between such Indemnitee and such Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such claim which would make representation of both such parties by one counsel inappropriate or (B) the Third-Party Claim involves substantially different defenses for the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee, and in such event the fees and expenses of such single separate counsel shall be paid by such Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, subject to the proviso of the preceding sentence, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnitee for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense thereof (other than during the period prior to the time the Indemnitee shall have given notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above).

(iv) If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, in no event will the Indemnitee admit any Liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall have the right to settle, compromise or discharge such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party if the Indemnitee releases the Indemnifying Party from its indemnification obligation hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim and such settlement, compromise or discharge would not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnitee will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the Liability in connection with such Third Party Claim and releases the Indemnitee completely in connection with such Third Party Claim and that would not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnitee and does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnitee. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election to do so as provided herein, such Indemnitee may compromise, settle or defend such Third

Party Claim; provided that the Indemnitee shall not compromise or settle such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent is not to be unreasonably withheld.

(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (and shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnitee in defending such Third Party Claim) if the Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the Indemnitee which the Indemnitee reasonably determines, after conferring with its counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages. If such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Third Party Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages.

(b)In the event of payment by an Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third Party Claim. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right or claim.

(c)SEACOR Marine shall, and shall cause the other SEACOR Marine Indemnitees to, and SEACOR shall, and shall cause the other SEACOR Indemnitees to, cooperate as may reasonably be required in connection with the investigation, defense and settlement of any Third Party Claim. In furtherance of this obligation, the Parties agree that if an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to compromise or settle any Third Party Claim, SEACOR or SEACOR Marine, as the case may be, shall use its reasonable best efforts to make available to the other Party, upon written request, the former and then current directors, officers, employees and agents of SEACOR or any member the SEACOR Marine Group (as applicable) as witnesses and any Records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such Person, Records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with such defense, settlement or compromise. At the request of an Indemnifying Party, an Indemnitee shall enter into a reasonably acceptable joint defense agreement.

(d)The remedies provided in this Article III shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

Section 3.4 Indemnification Payments

(a)Indemnification required by this Article III shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or an Indemnifiable Loss is incurred. If the Indemnifying Party fails to make an indemnification payment required by this Article III within 30 days after receipt of a bill therefore or notice that an Indemnifiable Loss has been incurred, the Indemnifying Party shall also be required to pay interest on the amount of such indemnification payment, from the date of receipt of the bill or notice of the Indemnified Loss to but not including the date of payment, at the Applicable Rate.

(b)The amount of any claim by an Indemnitee under this Agreement shall be reduced to reflect any insurance proceeds actually received (net of costs or any mandatory premium increases) by any Indemnitee that result from the Indemnifiable Losses that gave rise to such indemnity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnitee will be obligated to seek recovery for any Indemnifiable Losses from any Third Party before seeking indemnification under this Agreement and in no event will an Indemnifying Party's obligation to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement be conditioned upon the status of the recovery of any offsetting amounts from any such Third Party.

(c)For all Tax purposes and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Parties hereto shall treat any payment made pursuant to this Article III as a capital contribution or a distribution, as the case may be, immediately prior to the Distribution.

ARTICLE IV

ACCESS TO INFORMATION

Section 4.1 Provision of Corporate Records

(a)Except as specifically provided in Article III (in which event the provisions of such Article will govern), at all times from and after the Distribution Date, upon the prior written request by SEACOR Marine for specific and identified agreements, documents, books, records or files including accounting and financial records (collectively, “Records”) which relate to SEACOR Marine or the conduct of the SEACOR Marine Business up to the Effective Time, or which SEACOR Marine determines are reasonably necessary or advisable in order for SEACOR Marine to prepare its financial statements and any reports or filings to be made with any Governmental Authority, SEACOR shall arrange, as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request, to provide appropriate copies of such Records (or the originals thereof if SEACOR Marine has a reasonable need for such originals) in the possession or control of SEACOR, but only to the extent such items are not already in the possession or control of the requesting Party.

(b)Except as specifically provided in Article III (in which event the provisions of such Article will govern), at all times from and after the Distribution Date, upon the prior written request by SEACOR for specific and identified Records which relate to SEACOR or the conduct of the SEACOR Business up to the Effective Time, or which SEACOR determines are reasonably necessary or advisable (i) for use in any Action or in to satisfy audit, accounting, claims, regulatory, litigation or other similar legal or regulatory requirements or (ii) to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements imposed on SEACOR or its Affiliates (including without limitation under applicable securities and tax laws) by a Governmental Authority, SEACOR Marine shall arrange, as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request, to provide appropriate copies of such Records (or the originals thereof if SEACOR has a reasonable need for such originals) in the possession or control of SEACOR Marine or any of the SEACOR Marine Subsidiaries, but only to the extent such items are not already in the possession or control of the requesting Party.

Section 4.2 Access to Information

Except as specifically provided in Article III (in which event the provisions of such Article will govern), from and after the Distribution Date, each of SEACOR and SEACOR Marine shall afford to the other and its authorized Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, subject to appropriate restrictions for classified, privileged or confidential information, to the Representatives, properties, and Records, in the possession of or in the control of the non-requesting Party and its Subsidiaries insofar as such access is reasonably required by the requesting Party and relates to such other Party or the conduct of its business prior to the Effective Time.

Section 4.3 Witnesses; Documents and Cooperation in Actions

(a)At all times from and after the Distribution Date, each of SEACOR and SEACOR Marine shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other, upon reasonable written request, its and its Subsidiaries’ former and then current Representatives as witnesses and any Records within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that such Persons or Records may reasonably be required in connection with the prosecution or defense of any Action in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved. This provision shall not apply to any Action brought by one Party against another Party (as to which production of documents and witnesses shall be governed by applicable discovery rules).

(b)Without limiting any provision of this Section 4.3, the Parties shall, and shall cause the members of their respective Groups to, cooperate and consult to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Actions.

(c)In connection with any matter contemplated by this Section 4.3, the Parties will enter into a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement so as to maintain to the extent practicable any applicable attorney-client privilege or work product immunity of any member of the SEACOR Group and any member of the SEACOR Marine Group.

Section 4.4 Confidentiality

(a)SEACOR and the SEACOR Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and SEACOR Marine and the SEACOR Marine Subsidiaries on the other hand, shall not use or permit the use of and shall keep, and shall cause their respective Representatives to keep, confidential all information concerning the other Party in their possession, their custody or under their control to the extent such information, (i) relates to or was acquired during the period up to the Effective Time, (ii) relates to any Ancillary Agreement, (iii) is obtained in the course of performing services for the other Party pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement or (iv) is based upon or is derived from information described in the preceding clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), and each Party shall not (without the prior written consent of the other) otherwise release or disclose such information to any other Person, except such Party’s auditors, attorneys, consultants and advisors, unless compelled to disclose such information by judicial or administrative process or unless such disclosure is required by Law and such Party has used commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other affected Party or Parties prior to such disclosure. Each Party shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to hold confidential any information concerning or owned by the other Party or such Party’s Group, if it exercises the same care as it takes to preserve confidentiality for its own similar information. The covenants in this Section 4.4 shall survive the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall continue indefinitely; provided, however, that the covenants in this Section 4.4 shall terminate with respect to any information not constituting a trade secret under applicable Law on the fourth anniversary of the Distribution Date (but any such termination shall not terminate or otherwise limit any other covenant or restriction regarding the disclosure or use of such information under any Ancillary Agreement or other agreement, instrument or legal obligation). This Section 4.4 shall not apply to information (a) that has been in the public domain through no fault of such Party, (b) that has been later lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party, provided that such source is not and was not bound by a confidentiality agreement, (c) the use or disclosure of which is permitted by this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement entered into pursuant hereto, (d) that is immaterial and its disclosure is required as part of the conduct of that Party’s business and would not reasonably be expected to be detrimental to the interests of the other Party or (e) that the other Party has agreed in writing may be so used or disclosed.

(b)If any Party, or any member of such Party’s Group, either determines that it is required to disclose pursuant to applicable Law, or receives any demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide,

information of the other Party (or any member of such Party’s Group) that is subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 4.4(a), such Party shall notify the other Party prior to disclosing or providing such information and shall cooperate at the expense of the requesting Party in seeking any reasonable protective arrangements requested by such other Party. Subject to the foregoing, the Person that received such request may thereafter disclose or provide such information if and to the extent required by such Law or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority; provided, however, that the Person shall only disclose such portion of the information as required to be disclosed or provided.

Section 4.5 Privileged Matters

Except as may be otherwise provided in an Ancillary Agreement, the Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Distribution Date have been and will be rendered for the benefit of SEACOR, the members of the SEACOR Group and the members of the SEACOR Marine Group, and that each of the members of the SEACOR Group, and each of the members of the SEACOR Marine Group should be deemed to be the client for the purposes of asserting all privileges which may be asserted under applicable Law. To allocate the interests of each Party in the information as to which any Party is entitled to assert a privilege, the Parties agree as follows:

(a)SEACOR shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information which relates solely to the SEACOR Business (other than with respect to Liabilities as to which SEACOR Marine is required to provide indemnification under Article III), whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of SEACOR, SEACOR Marine or any member of either Party’s Group. SEACOR shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting SEACOR Liabilities, or other Liabilities as to which it is required to provide indemnification under Article III, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of SEACOR, SEACOR Marine or any member of either Party’s Group.

(b)SEACOR Marine shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information which relates solely to the SEACOR Marine Business (other than with respect to Liabilities as to which SEACOR is required to provide indemnification under Article III), whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of SEACOR, SEACOR Marine or any member of either Party’s Group. SEACOR Marine shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information which relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting SEACOR Marine Liabilities, or other liabilities as to which it is required to provide indemnification under Article III, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other proceedings initiated against or by SEACOR Marine, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of SEACOR Marine or under the control of SEACOR, SEACOR Marine or any member of either Party’s Group.

(c)The Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege, with equal right to assert or waive, subject to the restrictions in this Section 4.5, with respect to all privileges not allocated pursuant to the terms of Sections 4.5(a) and (b).

(d)No Party may waive any privilege which could be asserted under any applicable Law, and in which the other Party has a shared privileged, without the consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except to the extent reasonably required in connection with any Third-Party Claims or as provided in subsection (e) below. Consent shall be in writing, or shall be deemed to be granted unless written objection is made within 20 days after notice upon the other Party requesting such consent.

(e)In the event of any litigation or dispute between or among the Parties, any Party and a Subsidiary of the other Party, or a Subsidiary of one Party and a Subsidiary of the other Party, either such Party may waive a privilege in which the other Party has a shared privilege, without obtaining the consent of the other Party, provided, however, that such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of information with respect to the litigation or dispute between the Parties and/or their Subsidiaries, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to any Third-Party Claims.

The amount of each quarterly installment shall (A) for Tranche A be calculated from the Initial Payment Date and be in an amount of 1/40th of all Advances outstanding on the Initial Payment Date and (B) for Tranche B be in an amount of 1/40th of the Total Tranche B Amount based on the Fair Market Value of the Vessel to which such Tranche relates (and if the Fair Market Value of the second Vessel is not then available, assuming the same Fair Market Value for both Vessels), and to the extent Tranche B is not fully drawn on any repayment date, such installment shall be in the form of a commitment reduction of the same amount, and in the case of both Tranche A and Tranche B, a balloon payment, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owed by any Security Party shall be paid on the Final Payment Date. Prior to the Initial Payment Date, the Facility Agent shall provide the Borrowers with a repayment schedule which shall be attached as an exhibit hereto and be made a part hereof. Such repayment schedule shall be updated by the Facility Agent after each Advance made subsequent to the Facility providing the initial repayment schedule with the last such update to be provided once the entire Loan is drawn or at the end of the Availability Period, whichever is earlier. Each such schedule shall be delivered to the Borrowers and the Lenders and attached as an exhibit hereto replacing the prior delivered schedule, and be made a part hereof.

5.2 Voluntary Prepayment. Subject to delivery of the notices and the minimum payment amounts required by this Section 5.2, the Borrowers may, at their option, on any Banking Day, prepay all or any portion of the Loan. The Borrowers shall compensate the Lenders for any loss, cost (including breakage costs) or expense incurred by them as a result of a prepayment made on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.5 or 5.5, as the case may be. Prepayments shall be without penalty or premium, other than the amounts payable under Section 5.5. Any prepayment shall be in a minimum amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or the full amount of the Loan then outstanding. The Borrowers shall deliver to the Facility Agent notice of such prepayment not less than five (5) Banking Days prior to the date on which the Borrowers intend to make such prepayment (which notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the date and amount

of prepayment). Any amount prepaid may not be redrawn and shall be applied against scheduled repayments, including the balloon payment on the Final Payment Date, on a pro rata basis.

5.3 Borrower’s Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligations to pay each Creditor hereunder and under the Note shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which any or all of the Borrowers may have or have had against any Creditor.

5.4 Mandatory Prepayment; Sale or Loss; cancellation of Shipbuilding Contract; cancellation of a Material Vendor Contract. Upon (a) the sale of a Vessel, (b) the cancellation of any Shipbuilding Contract, (c) the date that one hundred and eighty (180) days after the cancellation of any Material Vendor Contract, unless such Material Vendor Contract is replaced with a contract reasonably acceptable to the Lenders within such one hundred and eighty (180) day period, or (d) the earlier of (x) ninety (90) days after the actual, constructive or compromised loss of a Vessel, or two hundred and seventy (270) days after the requisition of title, nationalization, confiscation or expropriation of a Vessel or (y) the date on which the insurance proceeds in respect of such loss are received by a Borrower, the Borrowers shall repay the Loan in an amount equal to the then outstanding amount of the Loan as it pertains to such Vessel (including accrued but unpaid interest). At the Borrowers’ option, an amount equal to the mandatory prepayment due under this Section 5.4 may be held by the Lenders as cash collateral in an interest bearing account, with interest (if any) for the benefit of the Borrowers until the end of the then current Interest Period, at which time such amount shall be applied towards the mandatory prepayment of the Loan. Any amount prepaid may not be redrawn and shall be applied against scheduled repayments, including the balloon payment on the Final Payment Date, on a pro rata basis.

5.5 Interest and Costs with Prepayments/Application of Prepayments. Any prepayment of the Loan made hereunder (including, without limitation, those made pursuant to Section 5) shall be subject to the condition that on the date of prepayment by or on behalf of the Borrowers all accrued interest to the date of such prepayment shall be paid in full or portions thereof being prepaid, together with any and all costs or expenses of any Lender in connection with any breaking of funding for prepayments other than on the last day of the applicable Interest Period (as certified by the Facility Agent, which certification shall, absent any manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers). All prepayments of the Loan shall be applied towards the remaining installments on a pro rata basis. No amounts pre-paid or repaid will be available for re-borrowing.


6.	INTEREST AND RATE

6.1 Applicable Rate. The Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders (on a joint and several basis) interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan for the period commencing on the Closing Date until but not including the stated maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or the date of prepayment thereof at the Applicable Rate, which shall be the rate per annum

which is equal to the aggregate of (a) LIBOR for the relevant Interest Period (provided that, if LIBOR is below zero, LIBOR shall be deemed to be zero), plus (b) the Margin plus (c) Mandatory Costs, if any. The Margin for each interest payment shall be determined by reference to twelve (12) months trailing EBITDA at the time of determination; provided, however, that no change in the Margin shall be effective until three (3) Banking Days after the date on which the Facility Agent receives or was entitled to receive the financial statements and the corresponding Compliance Certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 9.1(d). The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders in writing of the Applicable Rate as and when determined. Each such determination, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers. The Borrowers covenant and agree to pay interest on the Advances on the last day of each Interest Period and, if any Interest Period exceeds three months, on each three month anniversary of the date of the commencement of such Interest Period. It is hereby agreed that (x) prior to the end of the Availability Period, the Interest Periods relating to each Tranche shall be consolidated so that there shall be no more than six (6) Interest Periods in the aggregate in effect at any time applicable to the Loan and (y) after the end of the Availability Period, the Interest Periods relating to each Tranche shall be consolidated so that there shall be no more than two (2) Interest Periods in the aggregate in effect at any time applicable to the Loan.

6.2 Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Borrowers agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Loan and any other outstanding amount under the Transaction Documents shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In addition, each of the Borrowers hereby promises to pay interest at the Default Rate on any other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Transaction Document which shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), for the period commencing on the due date thereof until but not including the date the same is paid. Any interest at the Default Rate (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of the then applicable Interest Period but will remain immediately due and payable.

6.3 Interest Notice. The Borrowers shall give the Facility Agent an Interest Notice specifying the Interest Period selected at least three (3) Banking Days prior to the end of any then existing Interest Period, which notice the Facility Agent agrees to forward on to all Lenders as soon as practicable. If at the end of any then existing Interest Period the Borrowers fail to give an Interest Notice, the relevant Interest Period shall be three (3) months. No Interest Period may extend beyond the Final Payment Date. The Borrowers’ right to select an Interest Period shall be subject to the restriction that no selection of an Interest Period shall be effective unless each Lender is satisfied that the necessary funds will be available to such Lender for such period. The delivery of an Interest Notice shall be deemed to constitute a warranty by each of the Borrowers (a) that the representations and warranties stated in Section 2 (updated mutatis mutandis) and stated in the other Transaction Documents are true and correct on and as of the date of the Drawdown Notice and will be true and correct as if made on the date of such Interest Notice and (b) that no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

6.4 Maximum Interest. Anything in this Agreement or the Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the interest rate on the Loan shall in no event be in excess of the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law.


7.	PAYMENTS

7.1 Place of Payments, No Set Off. All payments to be made hereunder by each of the Borrowers shall be made to the Facility Agent, not later than 11 a.m. New York time (any payment received after 3 p.m. New York time shall be deemed to have been paid on the next Banking Day) on the due date of such payment, at its office located at 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166, USA or to such other office of the Facility Agent as the Facility Agent may direct, without set-off or counterclaim and free from, clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes except as compelled by law, provided, however, that if any of the Borrowers shall at any time be compelled by law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any amounts payable to the Lenders hereunder, then such Borrower shall pay such additional amounts in Dollars as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Lenders after withholding or deduction shall equal the amounts which would have been received if such withholding or deduction were not required and, in the event any withholding or deduction is made, whether for Taxes or otherwise, such Borrower shall promptly send to the Facility Agent such documentary evidence with respect to such withholding or deduction as may be required from time to time by the Lenders.

7.2 Tax Credits. If a Lender obtains the benefit of a credit against the liability thereof for federal income taxes imposed by any taxing authority for all or part of the Taxes as to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts as aforesaid, then such Lender shall pay an amount to the relevant Borrower which such Lender determines will leave it (after such payment) in the same position as it would have been had the Tax payment not been made by such Borrower. Each Lender agrees that in the event that Taxes are imposed on account of the situs of its loans hereunder, such Lender, upon acquiring knowledge of such event, shall, if commercially reasonable and if, in the opinion of such Lender, it is not prejudicial to it, shift such loans on its books to another office of such Lender so as to avoid the imposition of such Taxes. Nothing contained in this clause shall in any way prejudice the right of the Lenders to arrange their tax affairs in such way as they, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. In particular, a Lender shall not be required to obtain such tax credit, if this interferes with the way such Lender normally deals with its tax affairs.

7.3 Exclusion of Gross-up for Taxes. None of the Borrowers shall be required to pay any additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 7.1 to the extent that:

(a) the applicable Lender was not an original party to this Agreement and under applicable law (after taking into account relevant treaties and assuming that such Lender has provided all forms it may legally and truthfully provide) on the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement, withholding of Taxes would have been required on such payment, provided that this exclusion shall not apply to the extent such withholding does not exceed the withholding that would have been applicable if such payment had been made to the applicable Lender that was an original party to this Agreement;

(b) the applicable Lender has changed its lending office and under applicable law (after taking into account relevant treaties and assuming that such Lender has provided all forms it may legally and truthfully provide) on the date such Lender changed its lending office, withholding of Taxes would have been required on such payment, provided that this exclusion shall not apply to the extent such withholding does not exceed the withholding that would have been applicable to such payment and with respect to which such Lender would have been entitled to receive additional amounts pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof if such Lender had never changed its lending office; or

(c) withholding would not have been required on such payment if such Lender had complied with its obligations to deliver certain tax forms pursuant to Section 7.4 below.

7.4 Delivery of Tax Forms.

(a) On or prior to the date hereof (or in the case of a transferee Lender, the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement), and thereafter when reasonably requested by a Borrower, each Lender or transferee that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Facility Agent two properly completed and duly executed copies of (as applicable) IRS Form W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI or W-8IMY or, upon request of a Borrower or the Facility Agent, any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, in each case claiming a reduced rate (which may be zero) of U.S. federal withholding tax under Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code with respect to payments of interest hereunder as such Non-U.S. Lender may properly claim. In addition, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, such Non-U.S. Lender shall, on or prior to the date hereof (or in the case of a transferee Lender, the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement), and thereafter when reasonably requested by a Security Party, provide to the Facility Agent in addition to the IRS Form W-8 required above a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of such Security Party and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to such Security

Party (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code), and such Non-U.S. Lender agrees that it shall promptly notify the Facility Agent in the event any representation in such certificate is no longer accurate; and

(b) In the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is a party to this Agreement on the date hereof and that fails to provide an IRS Form W-8ECI or the certificate described in the last sentence of Section 7.4(a) with respect to a Security Party that is a U.S. person, the IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8IMY provided by such Non-U.S. Lender on or prior to the date hereof shall claim the benefits of an income tax treaty providing for no U.S. federal withholding tax under Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code with respect to payments of interest hereunder with respect to such Security Party.

7.5 FATCA Information.

(a) Subject to paragraph (c) below, each FATCA Relevant Party, within ten (10) Banking Days of a reasonable request by another FATCA Relevant Party, shall:


(i)	confirm to that other party whether it is a FATCA Exempt Party or is not a FATCA Exempt Party; and

(ii)

supply to the requesting party (with a copy to all other FATCA Relevant Parties) such other form or forms (including IRS Form W-8 or Form W-9 or any successor or substitute form, as applicable) and any other documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA (including its applicable “pass-thru percentage” or other information required under FATCA or other official guidance including intergovernmental agreements) as the requesting party reasonably requests for the purpose of determining whether any payment to such party may be subject to any FATCA Deduction.

(b) If a FATCA Relevant Party confirms to any other FATCA Relevant Party that it is a FATCA Exempt Party or provides an IRS Form W-8 or W-9 showing that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not, or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that party shall so notify all other FATCA Relevant Parties reasonably promptly.

(c) Nothing in this Section 7.5 shall obligate any FATCA Relevant Party to do anything which would or, in its reasonable opinion, might constitute a breach of any law or regulation, any policy of that party, any fiduciary duty or any duty of confidentiality, or to disclose any confidential information (including, without limitation, its tax returns and calculations); provided that nothing in this paragraph shall excuse any FATCA Relevant Party from providing a true, complete and correct IRS Form W-8 or W-9 (or any successor or substitute form where applicable). Any information provided on such IRS Form W-8 or W-9 (or any successor or substitute forms) shall not be treated as confidential information of such party for purposes of this paragraph.

(d) If a FATCA Relevant Party fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with the provisions of this agreement or the provided information is insufficient under FATCA, then:


(i)	such party shall be treated as if it were a FATCA Non-Exempt Party; and


(ii)	if that party failed to confirm its applicable pass-thru percentage then such party shall be treated for the purposes of any Transaction Document (and payments made thereunder) as if its applicable pass-thru percentage is 100%,

until (in each case) such time as the party in question provides sufficient confirmation, forms, documentation or other information to establish the relevant facts.

7.6 FATCA Withholding.

(a) A FATCA Relevant Party making a payment to any FATCA Non-Exempt Party shall make such FATCA Deduction as it determines is required by law and shall render payment to the IRS within the time allowed and in the amount required by FATCA.

(b) If a FATCA Deduction is required to be made by any FATCA Relevant Party to a FATCA Non-Exempt Party, the amount of the payment due from such FATCA Relevant Party to such FATCA Non-Exempt Party shall be reduced by the amount of the FATCA Deduction reasonably determined to be required by such FATCA Relevant Party.

(c) Each FATCA Relevant Party shall promptly upon becoming aware that a FATCA Deduction is required with respect to any payment owed to it (or that there is any change in the rate or basis of a FATCA Deduction) notify each other FATCA Relevant Party accordingly, and no Security Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction.

(d) Within thirty days of making either a FATCA Deduction or any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, the party making such FATCA Deduction shall deliver to the Facility Agent for delivery to the party on account of whom the FATCA Deduction was made evidence reasonably satisfactory to that party that the FATCA Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the IRS.

(e) A FATCA Relevant Party who becomes aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to another FATCA Relevant Party (or that there is any change in the rate or basis of such FATCA Deduction) shall notify that party and the Facility Agent.

(f) The Facility Agent shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to a Lender which relates to a payment by the Security Parties (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such a FATCA Deduction) notify the Security Parties and the relevant Lender.

7.7 FATCA Mitigation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a FATCA Deduction is or will be required to be made by any party under Section 7.6 in respect of a payment to any FATCA Non-Exempt Lender, the FATCA Non-Exempt Lender may either:


(i)	transfer its entire interest in the Loan to a U.S. branch or Affiliate, or


(ii)	nominate one or more transferee lenders who upon becoming a Lender would be a FATCA Exempt Party, by notice in writing to the Facility Agent and the Borrowers specifying the terms of the proposed transfer, and cause such transferee lender(s) to purchase all of the FATCA Non-Exempt Lender’s interest in the Loan.

7.8 Computations; Banking Day.

(a) All computations of interest and fees shall be made by the Facility Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Facility Agent or the Lenders of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Banking Day, such payment shall be due and payable on the next succeeding Banking Day unless the next succeeding Banking Day falls in the following calendar month, in which case it shall be payable on the immediately preceding Banking Day.

Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignment fee referred to above and any written consent to such assignment required, the Facility Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to this Agreement, the Facility Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

10.4. In addition, any Lender may at any time, with the written consent of the Borrowers (at the Borrowers’ sole discretion, provided, however, that such consent from the Borrowers is not required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrowers or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Facility Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

10.5. In the event that a Lender changes its lending office such Lender shall pay the Facility Agent a fee of $3,750.


11.	ILLEGALITY, INCREASED COST, NON-AVAILABILITY, ETC

11.1 Illegality. In the event that by reason of any change in or introduction of any applicable law, regulation or regulatory requirement or in the interpretation thereof, a Lender has a reasonable basis to conclude that it has become unlawful for any Lender to maintain or give effect to its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall inform the Facility Agent and each of the Borrowers to that effect, whereafter the liability of such Lender to make its portion of the Loan available shall forthwith cease and the Borrowers shall be required either to repay to such Lender that portion of the Loan advanced by such Lender within sixty (60) days or, if such Lender so agrees, to repay such portion of the Loan to the Lender on the last day of the calendar month in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 11.7. In any such event, but without prejudice to the aforesaid obligations of each Borrower to repay such portion of the Loan, each Borrower and the relevant Lender shall negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing on terms for making such portion of the Loan available from another jurisdiction or otherwise restructuring such portion of the Loan on a basis which is not unlawful.

11.2 Increased Costs. If, after the date of this Agreement, any change in or introduction of applicable law, regulation or regulatory requirement (including any applicable law, regulation or regulatory requirement which relates to capital adequacy or liquidity controls or which affects the manner in which a Lender allocates capital resources under this Agreement), or in the interpretation or application thereof by any governmental or other authority, shall:


(i)	subject any Lender to any Taxes with respect to its income from the Loan, or any part thereof; or

(ii)

change the basis of taxation to a Lender of payments of principal or interest or any other payment due or to become due pursuant to this Agreement (other than a change in the basis effected by the jurisdiction of organization of such Lender, the jurisdiction of the principal place of business of such Lender, the United States of America, the State or City of New York or any governmental subdivision or other taxing authority having jurisdiction over such Lender (unless such jurisdiction is asserted by reason of the activities of the Security Parties) or such other jurisdiction where the Loan may be payable, or under FATCA), or


(iii)	impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirements or require the making of any special deposits against or in respect of any assets or liabilities of, deposits with or for the account of, or loans by, a Lender,


(iv)	impose on any Lender any other condition affecting the Loan or any part thereof,

and the result of the foregoing is either to increase the cost to such Lender of making available or maintaining the Loan or any part thereof or to reduce the amount of any payment received by such Lender, then and, in any such case, if such increase or reduction, in the opinion of such Lender, materially affects the interests of such Lender under or in connection with this Agreement:

(b) such Lender shall notify the Facility Agent and each Borrower of the happening of such event, and

(c) each Borrower agrees forthwith upon demand to pay to such Lender such amount as such Lender certifies to be necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or such reduction in respect of the relevant Tranche.

11.3 Market disruption. The following provisions of Sections 11.4 and 11.5 apply if:

(a) LIBOR is not available for an Interest Period on the date of determination of LIBOR; or

(b) at least one (1) Banking Day before the start of an Interest Period, the Lenders having Commitments amounting to 66 2/3% or more of the Loan notify the Facility Agent that such Lenders are unable to borrow Dollars from leading banks in the London Interbank Market in the ordinary course of business at published rates during the Interest Period.

11.4 Notification of market disruption. The Facility Agent shall promptly notify each of the Borrowers and each of the Lenders, stating the circumstances falling within Section 11.3 which have caused its notice to be given (the “Market-Disruption Notification”); provided, however, that the level of detail of the Market-Disruption Notification shall be in the Facility Agent’s discretion and the Market-Disruption Notification itself shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

11.5 Alternative rate of interest during market disruption. For so long as the circumstances falling within Section 11.3 are continuing, the rate of interest on each Lender’s share of that Tranche for the Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of (i) the higher of (a) the Facility Agent’s prime lending rate and (b) one-half percent (1/2%) above the Federal Funds Effective Rate, (ii) the Margin, and (iii) Mandatory Costs, if any.

11.6 Lender’s Certificate Conclusive. A certificate or determination notice of a the Facility Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, as to any of the matters referred to in this Section 11 shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.

11.7 Compensation for Losses. Where the Loan or any portion thereof is to be repaid by any of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 11,the Borrowers agree simultaneously with such repayment to pay to the relevant Lenders all accrued interest to the date of actual payment on the amount repaid and all other sums then payable by the Borrowers to the relevant Creditor pursuant to this Agreement, together with such amounts as may be necessary and are certified by the relevant Lender to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any actual loss, premium or penalties incurred or to be incurred thereby on account of funds borrowed to make, fund or maintain the Loan or such portion thereof for the remainder (if any) of the then current Interest Period or Interest Periods, if any, but otherwise without penalty or premium.


12.	CURRENCY INDEMNITY

12.1 Currency Conversion. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing a judgment in any court in any country, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (the “judgment currency”) an amount due in Dollars under any Transaction Document, then the conversion shall be made, in the discretion of the Facility Agent, at the rate of exchange prevailing either on the date of default or on the day before the day on which the judgment is given or the order for enforcement is made, as the case may be (the “conversion date”), provided that the Creditors shall not be entitled to recover under this Section 12.1 any amount in the judgment currency which exceeds at the conversion date the amount in Dollars due under any Transaction Document.

12.2 Change in Exchange Rate. If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the conversion date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, each relevant Borrower shall pay such additional amounts (if any, but, in any event, not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the judgment currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount then due under the Transaction Documents in Dollars; any excess over the amount due received or collected by any Lender shall be remitted to the relevant Borrower.

12.3 Additional Debt Due. Any amount due from the Borrowers under this Section 12 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under or in respect of the Transaction Documents.

12.4 Rate of Exchange. The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 12 means the rate at which the Facility Agent in accordance with its normal practices is able on the relevant date to purchase Dollars with the judgment currency and includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with such purchase.

Such taxes and, if any, interest and penalties related thereto as may become payable after the date hereof shall be paid immediately by the Borrowers to the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee or the Lenders, as applicable, when liability therefor is no longer contested by the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee or the Lenders or reimbursed immediately by the Borrowers to the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee or the Lenders after payment thereof (if the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee of the Lenders, in their sole discretion, choose to make such payment).

14.1 Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

The service, as herein provided, of such summons or other legal process in any such action or proceeding shall be deemed personal service and accepted by the relevant Borrower as such, and shall be legal and binding upon the relevant Borrower for all the purposes of any such action or proceeding. Final judgment (a certified or exemplified

copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and of the amount of any indebtedness of any Borrower to the Lenders) against a Borrower in any such legal action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment. Each of the Borrowers will advise the Facility Agent promptly of any change of address for the purpose of service of process. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Creditors may bring any legal action or proceeding in any other appropriate jurisdiction.

14.3 WAIVER OF IMMUNITY. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY OF THE BORROWERS HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM SUIT, JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION, EXECUTION OF A JUDGMENT, OR FROM ANY OTHER LEGAL PROCESS OR REMEDY) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, EACH OF THE BORROWERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT.

14.4 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED BY AND AMONG EACH OF THE BORROWERS AND EACH OF THE CREDITORS THAT EACH OF THEM HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY HERETO AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS.


15.	THE FACILITY AGENT / THE SECURITY TRUSTEE.

15.1 Appointment of Agent. Each of the Lenders and the Swap Banks hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee, respectively, to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee, respectively by the terms hereof and thereof. Neither the Facility Agent, nor the Security Trustee nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under any Transaction Document or in connection therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

15.2 Security Trustee as Trustee. Each of the Creditors (other than the Security Trustee) irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Security Trustee as trustee on its behalf with regard to (i) the security, powers, rights, titles, benefits and interests (both present and future) constituted by and conferred on the Creditors or any of them or for the benefit thereof under or pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, the benefit of all covenants, undertakings, representations, warranties and obligations given, made or undertaken to any Creditor in the Transaction Documents), (ii) all moneys, property and other assets paid or transferred to or vested in any Creditor or any agent of any Creditor or received or recovered by any Creditor or any agent of any Creditor pursuant to, or in connection with, the Transaction Documents whether from the Borrowers or the Guarantors or any other person and (iii) all money, investments, property and other assets at any time representing or deriving from any of the foregoing, including all interest, income and other sums at any time received or receivable by any Creditor or any agent of any Creditor in respect of the same (or any part thereof).

To secure the payment of all sums of money from time to time owing to the Creditors under the Transaction Documents, and the performance of the covenants of the Borrowers and any other Security Party herein and therein contained, and in consideration of the premises and of the covenants herein contained and of the extensions of credit by the Creditors, the Security Trustee does hereby declare that it will hold as such trustee in trust for the benefit of the Creditors, from and after the execution and delivery thereof, all of its right, title and interest as mortgagee in, to and under the Mortgages and its right, title and interest as assignee and secured party under the other Transaction Documents (the right, title and interest of the Security Trustee in and to the property, rights and privileges described above, from and after the execution and delivery thereof, and all property hereafter specifically subjected to the security interest of the indenture created hereby and by the Transaction Documents by any amendment hereto or thereto are herein collectively called the “Estate”); TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Estate unto the Security Trustee and its successors and assigns forever, BUT IN TRUST, NEVERTHELESS, for the equal and proportionate benefit and security of the Creditors and their respective successors and assigns without any priority of any one over any other, UPON THE CONDITION that, unless and until an Event of Default under this Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, the relevant Security Party shall be permitted, to the exclusion of the Security Trustee, to possess and use the Vessels. IT IS HEREBY COVENANTED, DECLARED AND AGREED that all property subject or to become subject hereto is to be held, subject to the further covenants, conditions, uses and trusts hereinafter set forth, and each of the Borrowers and the Relevant Parents, for itself and its respective successors and assigns, hereby covenants and agrees to and with the Security Trustee and its successors in said trust, for the equal and proportionate benefit and security of the Creditors as hereinafter set forth.

The Security Trustee hereby accepts such appointment and the trusts imposed upon it as Security Trustee by this Agreement and the Security Trustee covenants and agrees to perform the same as herein expressed and agrees to receive and disburse all monies constituting part of the Estate in accordance with the terms hereof. Neither the Security Trustee nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under this Agreement, the Note or the other Transaction Documents or in connection therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

15.3 Distribution of Payments. Whenever any payment is received by the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee from any of the Borrowers for the account of the Lenders, or any of them, whether of principal or interest on the Note, commissions, fees under Section 13, or otherwise, it will thereafter cause like funds relating to such payment to be promptly distributed ratably to the Lenders according to their respective Commitments, in each case to be applied according to the terms of this Agreement. Unless the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date when any payment is due hereunder that the Borrowers will not make any payment on such date, the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment to the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, on the relevant date and the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders on such date a corresponding amount relating to such payment ratably to the Lenders according to their respective Commitments. If and to the extent that the Borrowers shall not have so made such payment available to the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, the Lenders and the Borrowers (but without duplication) severally agree to repay to the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Lenders until the date such amount is repaid to the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, as calculated by the Facility Agent or Security Trustee to reflect its cost of funds.

15.4 Holder of Interest in Note. The Facility Agent may treat each Lender as the holder of all of the interest of such Lender in the Note unless and until the Facility Agent has received a copy of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement evidencing the transfer of all or any part of such Lender’s interest in the Loan.

15.5 No Duty to Examine, Etc. The Facility Agent shall not be under a duty to examine or pass upon the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any instrument, document or communication furnished pursuant to this Agreement or in connection therewith or in connection with any other Transaction Document and the Facility Agent shall be entitled to assume that the same are valid, effective and genuine, have been signed or sent by the proper parties and are what they purport to be.

15.6 Facility Agent and Security Trustee as Lenders. With respect to that portion of the Loan made available by it, each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall include the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee in their capacity as Lenders. Each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with, any of the Borrowers as if it were not the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be.

15.7 Obligations of Facility Agent and Security Trustee. The obligations of each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee, respectively, under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are only those expressly set forth herein and therein.

(a) Neither the Facility Agent nor the Security Trustee shall at any time be under any duty to investigate whether an Event of Default, or a Default, has occurred or to investigate the performance of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents by the Borrower.

(b) Promptly upon receipt thereof by the Facility Agent, the Facility Agent shall furnish each Lender with a copy of all financial reports and notices delivered to it by each of the Borrowers hereunder.

15.8 Discretion of Facility Agents and Security Trustee. Each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee, respectively, shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights which may be vested in it by, and with respect to taking or refraining from taking any action or actions which it may be able to take under or in respect of the Transaction Documents, unless the Facility Agent or Security Trustee, as the case may be, shall have been instructed by the Majority Lenders to exercise such rights or to take or refrain from taking such action; provided, however, that neither the Facility Agent nor the Security Trustee shall be required to take any action which (in the Facility Agent’s and/or the Security Trustee’s sole discretion) may expose such Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.

(a) Each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee shall in all cases be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders (or, where expressly required hereby, all the Lenders), and any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such instructions shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

15.9 Assumption re Event of Default. Except as otherwise provided in Section 15.15, the Facility Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the Facility Agent has been notified by any of the Borrowers of such fact or has been notified by a Lender that such Lender considers that an Event of Default or such an event (specifying in detail the nature thereof) has occurred and is continuing. In the event that the Facility Agent shall have been notified by any party in the manner set forth in the preceding sentence of any Event of Default or of any Default, the Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and shall take action and assert such rights and/or advise the Security Trustee to take such action or assert such rights under the Transaction Documents as the Majority Lenders shall request in writing.

15.10 No Liability of Agents and the Lenders. Neither the Facility Agent, nor the Security Trustee nor any Lender nor any Swap Bank shall be under any liability or responsibility whatsoever:

(a) to any Borrower or any other person or entity as a consequence of any failure or delay in performance by, or any breach by, any other Lender or any other person of any of its or their obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents;

(b) to any Lender or Lenders or any Swap Bank as a consequence of any failure or delay in performance by, or any breach by any of the Borrowers of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; or

(c) to any Lender or Lenders or any Swap Bank for any statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or in any document or instrument delivered in connection with the transaction

hereby contemplated; or for the validity, effectiveness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any document or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions hereby contemplated.

15.11 Indemnification of Facility Agent and Security Trustee. The Lenders agree to indemnify each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee (to the extent not reimbursed by any of the Borrowers), pro rata according to the respective amounts of their interests in the Loan, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in investigating claims and defending itself against such liabilities) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against, the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, any action taken or omitted by the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, hereunder or thereunder or the preparation, administration, amendment or enforcement of, or waiver of any provision of, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, except that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Facility Agent’s or Security Trustee’s, as the case may be, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

15.12 Consultation with Counsel. Each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee may consult with legal counsel selected by the Facility Agent or Security Trustee, as the case may be and shall not be liable for any action taken, permitted or omitted by it in good faith in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

15.13 Resignation. Each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee may resign at any time by giving sixty (60) days’ written notice (the “Resignation Effective Date”) thereof to the Lenders and each of the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Facility Agent or Security Trustee, as the case may be. If no successor Facility Agent or Security Trustee, as the case may be, shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within sixty (60) days after the retiring Facility Agent’s or Security Trustee’s, as the case may be, giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Facility Agent or Security Trustee, as the case may be, may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Facility Agent or Security Trustee, as the case may be, which shall be a bank or trust company of recognized standing. The appointment by the Majority Lenders of any successor to the Facility Agent or Security Trustee shall (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) be subject to the prior written consent of each of the Borrowers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. After any resignation of the Facility Agent or Security Trustee hereunder, the provisions of this Section 15 shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted by it while acting as Facility Agent or Security Trustee, as the case may be. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

15.14 Representations of Lenders. Each Lender represents and warrants to each other Lender, the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee that:

(i)

in making its decision to enter into this Agreement and to make its Commitment available hereunder, it has independently taken whatever steps it considers necessary to evaluate the financial condition and affairs of each of the Borrowers, that it has made an independent credit judgment and that it has not relied upon any statement, representation or warranty by any other Lender the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee; and


(ii)	so long as any portion of its Commitment remains outstanding, it will continue to make its own independent evaluation of the financial condition and affairs of each of the Borrowers.

15.15 Notification of Event of Default. If the Facility Agent has received a notice from any Borrower or any Lender about the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such Default or Event of Default.

If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Note or the Security Documents, or otherwise) on account of the amounts advanced and owing to it (other than pursuant to Sections 11.2 or 11.7 or otherwise in respect of any gross up for Taxes pursuant to Section 7.1) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the amounts advanced obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the amounts advanced owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each of the Borrowers agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this

Section 15.16 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

17.	MISCELLANEOUS

17.1 Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Facility Agent and each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held (including, but not limited to, the Operating Account) and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Facility Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any of the Borrowers against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under the Transaction Documents, irrespective of whether the Facility Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The Facility Agent and each Lender agrees promptly to notify each Borrower after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Facility Agent and each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 17.1 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that the Facility Agent, such Lender, the Security Trustee and their respective Affiliates may have. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 17 or elsewhere herein, the Facility Agent may not discriminate against the Lenders generally in favor of its own interests when exercising setoff rights against amounts received from any Borrower hereunder, including any amount in the Operating Account.

17.2 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement but no failure or delay on the part of any of the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee or the Lenders to exercise any power or right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee or the Lenders of any power or right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

17.3 Unenforceable, etc., Provisions–Effect. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document would, if given effect, be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law applicable in any relevant jurisdiction, said provision shall not be enforceable against any of the Borrowers, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions herein or therein contained shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

17.4 References. References herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules are to be construed as references to sections of, exhibits to, and schedules to, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents as applicable, unless the context otherwise requires.

17.5 Further Assurances.

Any and all prior understandings and agreements heretofore entered into between the Security Parties on the one part, and any of the Lenders, on the other part, relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, whether written or oral are superseded by and merged into this Agreement and the other agreements (the forms of which are exhibited hereto) to be executed and delivered in connection herewith to which the Security Parties and the Lenders, the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee, as the case may be, are parties, which alone fully and completely express the agreements between the Security Parties and the Lenders.

17.7 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto. Neither this Agreement, the Note, any of the Security Documents nor any Interest Rate Agreement nor any terms hereof or thereof may be waived or amended unless such waiver or amendment is approved by each of the Borrowers and the Majority Lenders, provided that no such waiver or amendment shall, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (i) reduce the Margin or the interest rate or extend the time of a scheduled payment of principal or interest or fees on the Loan or reduce the principal amount of the Loan or any fees hereunder, (ii) increase or decrease the Commitment of any Lender or subject any Lender to any additional obligation (it being understood that a waiver of any Event of Default, other than a payment default, or any mandatory repayment of the Loan shall not constitute a change in the terms of any Commitment of any Lender), (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 10 (Assignment), Section 14 (Applicable Law, Jurisdiction and Waiver) and this Section 17.7, (iv) amend the definition of “Majority Lenders” or any other definition referred to in this Section 17.7, (v) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (vi) waive any late fee more than twice during the term of the Loan, any such waiver to be for a maximum of ten (10) days, or (vii) release any Security Party from any of its obligations under any Transaction Document except as expressly provided herein or in such Transaction Document; provided, further, that approval by all Lenders shall be required for any amendment or waivers with respect to Section 5.4 of this Agreement. All amendments approved by the Majority Lenders under this Section 17.7 must be in writing and signed by each of the Borrowers, each of the Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders and, if applicable, each Lender affected thereby and any such amendment

shall be binding on all the Lenders; provided, however, that any amendments or waivers with respect to Section 5.4 of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by each of the Borrowers and all of the Lenders.

17.8 Assumption re Event of Default. The Lenders shall be entitled to assume that no Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the Lenders have been notified by a Borrower of such fact. In the event that any Lender shall have been notified, in the manner set forth in the preceding sentence, by a Borrower of any Event of Default or Default, such Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent in writing, and the Majority Lenders may take action and assert such rights under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document or as provided for under applicable law as they determine are appropriate.

17.9 Indemnification. Neither any Creditor nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Borrower for any action taken or not taken thereby in connection herewith in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each of the Borrowers hereby severally agrees, on a joint and several basis, to indemnify the Creditors, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements of every nature and character (other than taxes) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of the execution or delivery of the Transaction Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby including, without limitation, (a) any actual or proposed use by a Borrower of the proceeds of any of the relevant Tranche, (b) the reversal or withdrawal of any provisional credits granted by the Facility Agent upon the transfer of funds from lock box, bank agency, concentration accounts or otherwise under any cash management arrangements with any Borrower, (c) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort, or any other theory, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereof, (d) any civil penalty or fine assessed by OFAC or another Governmental Authority against, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof by, the Facility Agent or any other Creditor as a result of conduct of the Borrowers, any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof or any Related Party thereof that violates a Sanctions Law or Anti-Money Laundering Law or (e) with respect to the Borrowers and their respective properties and assets, the violation of any Environmental Law, the presence, disposal, escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, release or threatened release of any Materials of Environmental Concern or any action, suit, proceeding or investigation brought or threatened with respect to any Materials of Environmental Concern relating to any circumstance or occurrence arising in relation to, or during the time of, the management, use, control ownership or operation of property or assets by such Borrower (including, but not limited to, claims with respect to wrongful death, personal injury or damage to property), in each case including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding; provided, however, the relevant Borrower shall not be responsible for any liabilities, losses, damages and/or expenses under this Section 17.9 caused by an Indemnitee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing indemnification shall not apply to the extent that any claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits or costs arise with respect to any Vessel from and after such time as any Creditor (or any designee thereof) takes possession or control of such Vessel (except to the extent that any such matter arising under subsection 17.9(e) hereof relates to any circumstance or occurrence arising prior to such time). In litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Creditors and their Affiliates shall be entitled to select their own counsel and, if arising after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Borrowers agree to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. To the extent that the respective interests of the Creditors in such litigation do not, and reasonably could not be expected to, conflict (such determination of existing or potential conflict to be made by the Creditors using their reasonable good faith judgment), the Creditors shall make reasonable efforts to use common counsel in connection with such litigation and the preparation therefor. If, and to the extent that the obligations of a Borrower under this Section 17.9 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrowers hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law.

17.10 USA Patriot Act Notice; Bank Secrecy Act. The Facility Agent hereby notifies each of the Security Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56, signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “Patriot Act”), and the policies and practices of the Facility Agent, each of the Creditors is required to obtain, verify and record certain information and documentation that identifies each of the Security Parties, which information includes the name and address of each of the Security Parties and such other information that will allow the Creditors to identify each of the Security Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act. In addition, each of the Security Parties shall comply, and cause any of its subsidiaries to comply, with all applicable Bank Secrecy Act laws and regulations, as amended.

17.11 CEA Eligible Contract Participant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document, no Security Party shall be deemed to guarantee, become jointly and severally obligated for or pledge assets in support of a “swap,” as defined in Section 1(a)(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) of another Security Party in favor of the Swap Bank if at the time that swap is entered into, such Security Party is not an “eligible contract participant” as defined in Section 1(a)(18) of the CEA.

17.12 Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be deemed as effective as delivery of an originally executed counterpart. In the event that any of the Borrowers delivers an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission, such Borrower shall also deliver an originally executed counterpart as soon as practicable, but the failure of such Borrower to deliver an originally executed counterpart of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of this Agreement.

17.13 Headings. In this Agreement, section headings are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be taken into account in the interpretation of this Agreement.

17.14 Publication. The Facility Agent or the Mandated Lead Arranger may, at its option and sole expense, publish information about its participation (including its arranger and agent role) in the Loan and for such purpose only, use the logo and trademark of any of the Borrowers and the Guarantors.

17.15 Joint and Several Liability.

(a) All obligations, covenants, representations, warranties and undertakings in or pursuant to the Transaction Documents assumed, given, made or entered into by the Borrowers shall, unless otherwise expressly provided, be assumed, given, made or entered into by the Borrowers jointly and severally. The failure by a Borrower to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party shall constitute a failure by the other Borrowers in the performance of their obligations under the Transaction Documents. Each Borrower shall be responsible for the performance of the obligations of the other Borrowers under the Transaction Documents;

(b) The Lenders may, but only through the Facility Agent, take action against any of the Borrowers and/or release or compromise in whole or in part the liability of the other Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or grant any time or other indulgence to any of the Borrowers, in each case without affecting the liability of the other Borrowers;

(c) Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the Transaction Documents to which it is, or is to be, a party notwithstanding that the other Borrowers which are intended to sign or to be bound may not do so or be effectually bound and notwithstanding that any of the Transaction Documents may be invalid or unenforceable against the other Borrowers, whether or not the deficiency is known to any Lender;

(d) None of the obligations or liabilities of the Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be discharged or reduced by reason of:


(i)	the insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, administration, receivership, amalgamation, reconstruction or other incapacity of any person whatsoever or any change of name or style or constitution of a Borrower or any other person liable;

(ii)

any Lender granting any time, indulgence or concession to, or compounding with, discharging, releasing or varying the liability of, a Borrower or any other person liable or renewing, determining, varying or increasing, any accommodation, facility or transaction or otherwise dealing with the same in any manner whatsoever, or concurring in, accepting, varying any compromise, arrangement or settlement or omitting to claim or enforce payment from a Borrower or any other person liable; or


(iii)	anything done or omitted which but for this provision might operate to exonerate the Borrowers or any of them;

(e) Each Borrower agrees that any rights which it may have at any time during the term of the Loan by reason of the performance of its obligations under the Transaction Documents to be indemnified by any other Borrower and/or to take the benefit of any security taken by the Agent pursuant to the Transaction Documents shall be exercised in such manner and on such terms as the Facility Agent may require or as provided in this Agreement. Each of the Borrowers agrees to hold any sums received by it as a result of its having exercised any such right on trust for the Facility Agent absolutely; and

(f) Each Borrower agrees that it will not at any time during the term of the Loan claim any set off or counterclaim against any other Borrower in respect of any liability owed to it by that other Borrower under or in connection with the Transaction Documents, nor prove in competition with any of the Lenders in any liquidation of (or analogous proceeding in respect of) any other Borrower in respect of any payment made under the Transaction Documents or in respect of any sum which includes the proceeds of realisation of any security held by the Facility Agent for the repayment of the Loan.

as joint and several borrowers in favor of

DNB BANK ASA, NEW YORK BRANCH

as Facility Agent

[·], 2015

PROMISSORY NOTE

U.S. $[80,500,000] [ ], 2015

New York, New York

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, FALCON GLOBAL LLC, FALCON PEARL LLC AND FALCON DIAMOND LLC, each a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, as joint and several borrowers (each, a “Borrower” and together, the “Borrowers”), with offices at c/o SEACOR Marine LLC, 7910 Main St., 2nd Floor, Houma, Louisiana 70360, hereby promise to pay to the order of DNB Bank ASA, New York Branch, as facility agent for the Creditors (the “Facility Agent”), at its office at 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166, or as it may otherwise direct, the principal sum of [Eighty Million Five Hundred Thousand] Dollars ($[80,500,000]) from time to time outstanding made by the Lenders to the Borrowers pursuant to that certain senior secured term loan agreement dated as of the [·] day of [·], 2015 (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), by and among, inter alios, (i) the Borrowers, (ii) the Facility Agent and security trustee, (iii) DNB Markets, Inc., Clifford Capital Pte. Ltd. and NIBC Bank N.V., as mandated lead arrangers, (iii) DNB Markets, Inc., as book runner, and (v) the financial institutions identified on Schedule 1 to the Loan Agreement (together with any bank or financial institution which becomes a lender pursuant to Section 10 of the Loan Agreement, the “Lenders”), as consented to and agreed by, inter alios, the Guarantors. The Borrowers shall repay the indebtedness represented by this Note as provided in Section 5 of the Loan Agreement. This Note may be prepaid on such terms as provided in the Loan Agreement.

Unless otherwise defined herein, words and expressions used herein (including those in the foregoing paragraph) and defined in the Loan Agreement shall have the same meaning herein as therein defined.

The Borrowers shall also pay interest on the Loan from the date of drawdown until payment in full at the rates determined from time to time in accordance with Section 6 of the Loan Agreement, which provisions are incorporated herein with full force and effect as if they were fully set forth herein. Any principal payment not paid when due, whether on an installment payment date or by acceleration, shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. All interest shall accrue and be calculated on the actual number of days elapsed and on the basis of a 360-day year.

Both principal and interest are payable in Dollars to the Facility Agent, for the account of the Lenders, as the Facility Agent may direct, in immediately available same day funds.

If this Note or any payment required to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Banking Day, the due date thereof shall be extended until the next following Banking Day and interest shall be payable during such extension at the rate applicable immediately prior thereto, unless such next following Banking Day falls in the following calendar month, in which case the due date thereof shall be adjusted to the immediately preceding Banking Day.

This Note is the Note referred to in the Loan Agreement and is entitled to the security and benefits therein provided, including, but not limited to, such security as provided in the relevant Security Documents and any other relevant Transaction Document. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 8 of the Loan Agreement, the principal hereof and accrued interest hereon may be declared to be (or, with respect to certain Events of Default, automatically shall become) immediately due and payable.

In the event that any holder of this Note shall institute any action for the enforcement or the collection of this Note, there shall be immediately due and payable, in addition to the unpaid balance hereof, all late charges and all costs and expenses of such action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

Each Borrower hereby waives presentment, protest, demand for payment, diligence, notice of dishonor and of nonpayment, and any and all other notices or demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note, hereby waives and renounces all rights to the benefits of any statute of limitations and any moratorium, appraisement, exemption and homestead now provided or which may hereafter be provided by any federal or state statute, including, without limitation, exemptions provided by any federal or state statute, including, without limitation, exemptions provided by or allowed under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency laws, both as to itself and as to all of its property, whether real or personal, against the enforcement and collection of the obligations evidenced by this Note and any and all extensions, renewals and modifications hereof and hereby consents to any extensions of time, renewals, releases of any party this Note, waiver or modification that may be granted or consented to by the holder of this Note.

Each Borrower agrees that its respective liabilities hereunder are absolute and unconditional without regard to the liability of any other party and that no delay on the part of the holder hereof in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right hereunder preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.

If at any time this transaction would be usurious under applicable law, then regardless of any provision contained in the Loan Agreement or this Note or any other agreement made in connection with this transaction, it is agreed that (a) the total of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted for, charged or received upon the Loan Agreement, this Note or any other agreement shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum rate of interest authorized by applicable law, if any, and any excess shall be credited to the Borrowers and (b) if the Lenders elect to accelerate the maturity of, or if the Borrowers prepay the indebtedness described in this Note, any amounts which because of such action would constitute interest may never include more than the maximum rate of interest authorized by applicable law and any excess interest, if any, provided for in the Loan Agreement, in this Note or otherwise, shall be credited to the Borrowers automatically as of the date of acceleration or prepayment.

THE UNDERSIGNED AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, THE FACILITY AGENT, HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY HERETO OR ANY BENEFICIARY HEREOF ARISING IN RESPECT OF ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS NOTE.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

[Signature Page Follows]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrowers have executed and delivered this Note on the date and year first above written.
