The Offeror hereby covenants and agrees to use its reasonable efforts to obtain any such consents required to be obtained by it in connection with the transfer of the Offered Assets pursuant to this Article IV; provided, however, that in obtaining any antitrust or competition-related regulatory consent, nothing in this Agreement shall require any Transocean Entity or Company Group Member to dispose of any of its assets, limit its freedom of action with respect to any of its businesses or consent to any disposition of its assets or limits on its freedom of action with respect to any of its businesses.

(f) In determining the fair market value, as applicable, and/or other terms in accordance with Section 4.1(c), the investment banking firm, rig broker or other expert advisor: (i) shall determine only those items upon which the Parties have not agreed, (ii) shall assume that all other terms of the transaction are the terms upon which the Parties agree, (iii) shall take into account, among other things, the anticipated cash flows under the drilling contract(s) associated with the Offered Assets, (iv) shall apply no discount for illiquidity or minority interests; (v) shall have no power to set any terms that would require the payment of consideration other than cash in U.S. dollars without the express agreement of the Offeror and the Offeree; and (vi) shall have no power to require that any Party or its Affiliates provide a guarantee or other support with respect to the associated drilling contract.

(d) THE FOREGOING INDEMNITIES ARE INTENDED TO BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST THE PARTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXPRESS TERMS AND SCOPE THEREOF NOTWITHSTANDING ANY EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE RULE OR ANY SIMILAR DIRECTIVE THAT WOULD PROHIBIT OR OTHERWISE LIMIT INDEMNITIES BECAUSE OF THE SOLE, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR FAULT OF ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

Section 7.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) The Parties entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (the “Indemnified Parties”) agree that within a reasonable period of time after they become aware of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII, they will provide notice thereof in writing to the Party against whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates that are covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article VII, including the selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the settling of any such matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such settlement shall be entered into without the consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the Indemnified Party unless it includes a full release of the Indemnified Party from such matter or issues, as the case may be.

(c) The Indemnified Parties agree to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party with respect to all aspects of the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article VII, including the prompt furnishing to the Indemnifying Party of any correspondence or other notice relating thereto that the Indemnified Parties may receive, permitting the names of the Indemnified Parties to be utilized in connection with such defense, the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any files, records or other information of the Indemnified Parties that the Indemnifying Party considers relevant to such defense and the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any employees of the Indemnified Parties; provided, however, that in connection therewith Indemnifying Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the Indemnified Parties and further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records and other information furnished by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 7.4. In no event shall the obligation of the Indemnified Parties to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence be construed as imposing upon the Indemnified Parties an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection with the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article VII; provided, however, that the Indemnified Parties may, at their own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such defense. The Indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the Indemnified Parties reasonably informed as to the status of any such defense (including providing such counsel with such information related to any such defense as such counsel may reasonably request) but the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain sole control over such defense.

In determining the amount of any Liabilities for which any Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (a) any insurance proceeds realized by the Indemnified Parties, and such correlative insurance benefit shall be net of any incremental insurance premium that becomes due and payable by the Indemnified Parties as a result of such claim, (b) all amounts recovered by the Indemnified Parties under contractual indemnities from third Persons, and (c) any Liabilities occurring after such time as any Indemnified Party became aware of such violations, events or conditions and, with the exercise of reasonable diligence or effort, such Liabilities could have been mitigated. The

 

24


Indemnified Parties hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to realize any applicable insurance proceeds or amounts recoverable under such contractual indemnities; provided, however, that the costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Indemnified Parties in connection with such efforts shall be promptly reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party in advance of any determination of whether such insurance proceeds or other amounts will be recoverable.

The titles and headings herein are for reference purposes only and shall not in any manner limit the construction of this Agreement which shall be considered as a whole.

(c) The words “hereof,” “herein” and “herewith” and words of similar import will, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.

25


(e) Words in the singular when used in this Agreement will be held to include the plural.

Section 9.3 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective legal representatives and successors. Neither Party may assign its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 9.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede all prior written and oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements and understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 9.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas (except that the provisions of Article VII shall instead be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales) without regard to principles of conflicts of laws thereof that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

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

Section 9.7 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and is not intended to confer upon any other Person, except for any Person entitled to indemnification under Article VII.

Section 9.8 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a nonappealable decision by a court, administrative agency or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the court, administrative agency or arbitrator shall interpret this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible. If any sentence in this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

Section 9.9 Failure or Indulgence Not Wavier; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Party in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement or the Exhibits attached hereto are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

 

26


Section 9.10 Amendment. No change or amendment will be made to this Agreement except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties; provided, however, that the Company may not, without the prior approval of the Conflicts Committee, agree to any amendment or modification of this Agreement that, in the reasonable discretion of the Board, will adversely affect the holders of common units of the Company.

Section 9.11 Specific Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the Party or the Parties who are or are to be thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of their rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The Parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived.

Section 9.12 Construction. This Agreement shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Parties and, except as set forth in this Section 9.12, no rule of construction or strict interpretation shall be applied against any Party. THE PARTIES EACH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT WERE DETERMINED IN THE CONTEXT OF A PARENT-SUBSIDIARY RELATIONSHIP AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE COMPARABLE TO TERMS THE COMPANY GROUP COULD HAVE OBTAINED FROM AN UNAFFILIATED THIRD PARTY.

Section 9.13 Relationship of Parties. Each Company Group Member understands and agrees that the Transocean Entities’ relationship to such Company Group Member under this Agreement is strictly a contractual arrangement on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, that no fiduciary, trust, partnership, joint venture, agency or advisory relationship exists between any Transocean Entity and such Company Group Member and that such Company Group Member hereby waives any and all rights that it may otherwise have under applicable Law to make any claims or take any action against any Transocean Entity or any of its Affiliates based on any theory of agency, fiduciary duty, relationship of trust or other special standard of care.

The Parties agree that Article VII and any limitations on liability or responsibility and any exculpatory, disclaimer, waiver or similar provisions will survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

27


Section 9.16 Further Assurances. From time to time, each Party agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents, and will provide such additional information and assistance as either Party may reasonably require to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

Section 9.17 Forum for Disputes. Any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement must be instituted in a state or federal court located in the State of Texas (assuming such court has jurisdiction). The Parties waive any objections they may have to such venue and irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such action, suit or proceeding.

Section 9.18 Compliance with Transocean Agreements and Policies.

(a) So long as the Transocean Entities collectively own at least 50% of the membership interests in the Company, the Company, for itself and on behalf of all other Company Group Members, covenants and agrees that it will not take or fail to take any action or enter into any commitment or agreement which may reasonably be anticipated to result, with or without notice and with or without lapse of time or otherwise, in a breach, contravention or default by it or any of its Affiliates of (i) any provisions of applicable Law, including provisions pertaining to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, (ii) any provision of Transocean’s Articles of Association or Organizational Regulations, (iii) any provision of Transocean’s Code of Integrity or (iv) any credit agreement, indenture or other material agreement (including agreements relating to covenants not to compete) binding upon Transocean, Transocean Inc. or any other Transocean Entity.
