2.    Payment of Accrued Amounts; FY17 Bonus; Pro Rated FY 2018 Bonus.

(a)    The Company shall pay Executive his accrued and unpaid base salary through the Termination Date, in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll schedule and procedures for its executives and applicable law. In addition, the Company shall reimburse Executive for any eligible business expenses incurred prior to the Termination Date to which he is otherwise entitled to reimbursement in accordance with the provisions of applicable Company policy and applicable law. Executive shall be entitled to payment of an annual bonus with respect to the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, in accordance with the Company’s FY 2017 Annual Incentive Compensation Plan, in an amount equal to $80,992, which shall be paid to the Executive at the time such bonuses are paid to the Company’s active employees.

Exhibit A hereto lists Executive’s outstanding performance cash awards granted in June 2015 and June 2016 which shall be payable to Executive on July 25, 2017 based upon achievement of “target” level performance criteria.

6.    Deferred Compensation. Company and Executive acknowledge that Executive’s rights under the Bristow Group Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended and restated effective as of August 1, 2008 (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), are not intended to be affected by this Agreement, except that Executive’s termination of employment with the Company will terminate any obligation of the Company to make future contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan for Executive’s benefit. Company and Executive also acknowledge that pursuant to the provisions of the Deferred Compensation Plan, Executive is not entitled to any contribution for the plan year ending December 31, 2017. Executive’s benefit under the Deferred Compensation Plan shall be paid to Executive on January 2, 2018, pursuant to the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan and in compliance with the six-month delay requirement under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

Continued group health coverage shall be subject to imputed tax on Executive in accordance with applicable law.

8.    Transition Services. The Company shall pay to Executive on July 25, 2017 the additional compensation of $35,416.67 so long as Executive provides diligent assistance with the transition of Executive’s duties during the thirty days following the Termination Date (the

“Transition Period”). The Transition Period may be extended by the mutual written agreement of the Executive and the Company. Executive will make himself available, upon reasonable request by the Company during the Transition Period, to answer questions or provide guidance to Company employees on ongoing projects and responsibilities. However, Executive shall be free to engage in consulting services for others, provided, however, such other activities shall not interfere with his rendering transition services to the Company.

9.    Outplacement. The Company shall provide to Executive outplacement services in accordance with the current Human Resources’ practice for a period starting on the Termination Date and ending on the earlier of (a) June 8, 2018 and (b) the date that the Executive begins employment with a different company.

10.    Release. Executive acknowledges that this Agreement provides Executive with rights and privileges to which Executive would not otherwise be entitled in the absence of the execution of a waiver and release, and, in exchange for the same, Executive agrees to take action to timely execute a full and complete release of claims against the Company, its affiliates, officers and directors in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Release”).

11.    Covenants. The Executive recognizes that the Company’s willingness to enter into this Agreement is based in material part on the Executive’s agreement to the provisions of this Section 11, and that the Executive’s breach of the provisions of this Section 11 could materially damage the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Restricted Period” referenced herein shall mean the twelve-month period of time immediately following the Termination Date.

TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HERETO KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE IN

(g)    Severability. It is the desire of the parties hereto that this Agreement be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and should any provision contained herein be held unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the parties hereby agree and consent that such provision shall be reformed to create a valid and enforceable provision to the maximum extent permitted by law; provided, however, if such provision cannot be reformed, it shall be deemed ineffective and deleted herefrom without affecting any other provision of this Agreement. This Agreement should be construed by limiting and reducing it only to the minimum extent necessary to be enforceable under then applicable law.

(h)    Construction. The headings and captions of this Agreement are provided for convenience only and are intended to have no effect in construing or interpreting this Agreement. The language in all parts of this Agreement shall be in all cases construed according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against the Company or Executive.

(j)    Nonwaiver. No failure or neglect of either party hereto in any instance to exercise any right, power or privilege hereunder or under law shall constitute a waiver of any other right, power or privilege or of the same right, power or privilege in any other instance.

(k)    Notices. Any notice, request, consent or approval required or permitted to be given under this Agreement or pursuant to law shall be sufficient if in writing, and if and when sent by certified or registered mail, with postage prepaid, to Executive’s residence,[ ], or to the Company’s principal office, as the case may be.

(l)    Section 409A.

(i)    Interpretation. Each payment under this Agreement is intended to be (1) exempt from Section 409A of the Code, the regulations and other binding guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”), including, but not limited to, by compliance with the short-term deferral exemption as specified in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(4), or (2) compliant with Section 409A, and the provisions of this Agreement will be administered, interpreted and construed accordingly. Payments under this Agreement in a series of installments shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments for purposes of Section 409A.

(ii)    Separation from Service. Executive shall be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” with the Company and its affiliates within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h)(1)(ii) as of the Termination Date.

(iii)    Specified Employee. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, payments and benefits payable under this Agreement due to a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A that are deferred compensation subject to (and not otherwise exempt from) Section 409A that would otherwise be paid or provided during the six-month period commencing on the date of Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, shall be deferred until the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.

(iv)    Reimbursements. To the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A, (1) all expenses or other reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or prior to the last day of the second taxable year following Executive’s “separation from service” pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(B), (B) any right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (C) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year.

(v)    Unfunded Status. Amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be unfunded for purposes of Section 409A. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to payments due under the Agreement, any such accounts shall be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience. No provision of this Agreement shall require the Company to purchase assets, place assets in a trust or segregate assets in connection with amounts due under the Agreement. Any obligation of the Company to Executive under this Agreement shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created by this Agreement.

(m)    No Duty to Mitigate. In no event shall Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not Executive obtains other employment.

(n)    Director’s and Officer’s Insurance. The Company shall provide Executive with Director’s and Officer’s insurance coverage, including indemnification and reimbursement of attorney’s fees, on terms no less favorable than the terms of the coverage provided to similarly situated current and former directors and officers of the Company. In the event this Section 12(n) is challenged (other than by Executive or Executive’s representatives), Executive’s reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred in connection therewith shall be reimbursed by the Company.

(o)    Non-Disparagement; Letters of Recommendation; References. The Company agrees that it will refrain from disclosing, communicating or publishing any Disparaging Information about Executive to third parties, whether such disclosures, communications, or publications are made on behalf of the Company directly or indirectly through its affiliates or its or their respective officers, directors or employees. Disparaging Information shall have the same definition as contained in Exhibit B, Release, article 4.

(p)    iPad and iPhone. The Company agrees that Executive may retain his Company-provided iPad and iPhone in his possession as of the Termination Date. The Company shall continue to maintain and pay for the coverage plans, including all related

fees, taxes and expenses, that were in effect on the Termination Date for the Executive’s iPad and iPhone for the entirety of the Transition Period.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the date set forth below, but effective as of the Termination Date.

Pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement and Release In Full effective as of June 8, 2017 (the “Termination Date”), between Bristow Group Inc. (the “Company”) and me (the “Separation Agreement”), and in consideration of the payments made to me and other benefits to be received by me pursuant thereto, I, E. Chipman Earle, do freely and voluntarily enter into this RELEASE (the “Release”), which shall become effective and binding on the eighth day following my signing this Release as provided herein (the “Waiver Effective Date”). It is my intent to be legally bound, according to the terms set forth below.

In exchange for the payments and other benefits to be provided to me by the Company pursuant to Section 2 through Section 9 of the Separation Agreement (the “Separation Benefits”), none of which I would have otherwise been entitled to if I had not executed this Release, I hereby agree and state as follows:

1.    I, individually and on behalf of my heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns, release, waive, and discharge the Company, its predecessors, successors, parents, subsidiaries, merged entities, operating units, affiliates, divisions, insurers, administrators, trustees, and the agents, representatives, officers, directors, shareholders, employees and attorneys of each of the foregoing (hereinafter “Released Parties”), from all claims, debts, liabilities, demands, obligations, promises, acts, agreements, costs, expenses, damages, actions, and causes of action, whether in law or in equity, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising from my employment and termination from employment with the Company, including but not limited to any and all claims pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Civil Rights Act of 1991 (42 U.S.C. § 2000e, et seq.), which prohibits discrimination in employment based on race, color, national origin, religion or sex; the Civil Rights Act of 1866 (42 U.S.C. §§1981, 1983 and 1985), which prohibits violations of civil rights; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, and as further amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (29 U.S.C. §621, et seq.), which prohibits age discrimination in employment; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (29 U.S.C. § 1001, et seq. ), which protects certain employee benefits; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (42 U.S.C. § 12101, et seq.), which prohibits discrimination against the disabled; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (29 U.S.C. § 2601, et seq.), which provides medical and family leave; the Fair Labor Standards Act (29 U.S.C. § 201, et seq.), including the wage and hour laws relating to payment of wages; and all other federal, state and local laws and regulations prohibiting employment discrimination. This Release also includes, but is not limited to, a release of any claims for breach of contract, mental pain, suffering and anguish, emotional upset, impairment of economic opportunities, unlawful interference with employment rights, defamation, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, fraud, wrongful termination, wrongful discharge in violation of public policy, breach of any express or implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, that the Company has dealt with me unfairly or in bad faith, and all other common law contract and tort claims.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, I am not waiving any rights or claims under the Separation Agreement or that may arise after this Release is signed by me. Moreover, this Release does not apply to any claims or rights which, by operation of law, cannot be waived, including the right to file an administrative charge or participate in an administrative investigation or proceeding; however, by signing this Release I disclaim and waive any right to share or participate in any monetary award resulting from the prosecution of such charge or investigation or proceeding. Nothing in this Release shall affect in any way my rights of indemnification and directors and officers liability insurance coverage provided to me pursuant to the Company’s (or any Company affiliate’s or subsidiary’s) certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other constituent documents, and/or pursuant to any other agreements or policies including, without limitation, directors’ and officers’ insurance policies in effect prior to the Termination Date, which shall continue in full force and effect, in accordance with their terms, following the Waiver Effective Date. Nothing in this Release shall affect my rights as a shareholder of the Company. Nothing in this release will affect my vested benefits under any pension benefit plan or any benefits that are vested or any claim accrued under the terms of a health benefit plan. Nothing contained in this Release, including the confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions, limits my ability to file a charge or complaint with a federal, state or local governmental agency or commission, my ability to communicate with any government agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any government agency, or my right to receive an award for information provided to any government agencies.

2.    I forever waive and relinquish any right or claim to reinstatement to active employment or service with the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, parent, and successors. I further acknowledge that the Company has no obligation to rehire or return me to active duty or service at any time in the future.

3.    I acknowledge that all agreements applicable to my employment respecting non-solicitation, non-recruitment, and the confidential or proprietary information of the Company shall continue in full force and effect as described in the Separation Agreement.

4.    I agree for a period of one year from the Waiver Effective Date not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, communicate, or publish any intentionally disparaging, negative, harmful, or disapproving information, written communications, oral communications, electronic or magnetic communications, writings, oral or written statements, comments, opinions, facts, or remarks, of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively, “Disparaging Information”), concerning or related to any of the Released Parties. I understand and acknowledge that this non-disparagement clause prevents me from disclosing, communicating, or publishing, directly or indirectly, any Disparaging Information concerning or related to the Released Parties. Further, I acknowledge that in executing this Agreement, I have knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived any free speech, free association, free press or First Amendment to the United States Constitution (including, without limitation, any counterpart or similar provision or right under the Texas Constitution or any other state constitution which may be deemed to apply) rights to disclose, communicate, or publish Disparaging Information concerning or related to the Released Parties. I also understand and agree that I have had a reasonable period of time to consider this non-disparagement clause, to review

the non-disparagement clause with my attorney, and to consent to this clause and its terms knowingly and voluntarily. I further acknowledge that this non-disparagement clause is a material term of this Release. If I breach this paragraph 4, the Company will not be limited to a damages remedy, but may seek all other equitable and legal relief including, without limitation, a temporary restraining order, temporary injunctive relief, a permanent injunction, and its attorneys’ fees and costs, against me and any other persons, individuals, corporations, businesses, groups, partnerships or other entities acting by, through, under, or in concert with me. I further acknowledge that if I breach this paragraph 4 or Section 10 of the Separation Agreement, the Company shall have no further obligation to pay or provide any unpaid Separation Benefits. Nothing in this Waiver and Release shall, however, be deemed to prevent me from testifying fully and truthfully in response to a subpoena from any court or from responding to investigative inquiry from any governmental agency or during interviews of audit committee counsel related to or in anticipation of government investigations.

5.    I hereby acknowledge and affirm as follows:

(a)    I have been advised to consult with an attorney prior to signing this Release.

(b)    I have been extended a period of at least 30 days in which to consider this Release.

(c)    I understand that for a period of seven days following my execution of this Release, I may revoke the Release by notifying the Company, at 2103 City West Blvd., 4th Floor, Houston, Texas 77042, Attention: Vicki Shackelford, in writing, of my desire to do so. I understand that after the seven-day period has elapsed and I have not revoked this Release, it shall then become effective and enforceable.

(d)    Except as provided in the Separation Agreement, I acknowledge that I have received payment for all wages and other compensation due up to the Termination Date, including any reimbursement for any and all business related expenses. I further acknowledge that the Separation Benefits are consideration to which I am not otherwise entitled under any Company plan, program, or prior agreement.

(e)    I certify that I have returned all property of the Company, including but not limited to, laptops, keys, credit cards, parking and building passes, files, lists, and documents of all kinds regardless of the medium in which they are maintained. This provision does not apply to my Company-provided iPad or iPhone.

(f)    I have carefully read the contents of this Release and I understand its contents. I am executing this Release voluntarily, knowingly, and without any duress or coercion.

6.    I acknowledge that this Release shall not be construed as an admission by any of the Released Parties of any liability whatsoever, or as an admission by any of the Released Parties of any violation of my rights or of any other person, or any violation of any order, law, statute, duty or contract.

7.    In the event that any provision of this Release should be held void, voidable, or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.

8.    I hereby declare that this Release and the Separation Agreement constitute the entire and final settlement between me and the Company, superseding any and all prior agreements, and that the Company has not made any promise or offered any other agreement, except those expressed in this Release and the Separation Agreement, to induce or persuade me to enter into this Release.

9.    I understand that in order to be effective this Release must be executed by me, without subsequent revocation, and delivered to the Company such that the Waiver Effective Date occurs on or before the date that is in conformity with the time frames described in paragraph 5 of this Release.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have signed this Release on the 14^th day of July, 2017.
