NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the respective covenants and agreements set forth below, the Parties agree to this Agreement as follows:

1. EMPLOYMENT TERM AND DUTIES

1.1 Term of Employment. Effective as of the Effective Date, the Company hereby agrees to continue to employ Executive as its Chief Executive Officer, and Executive hereby agrees to accept such employment, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and expiring as of July 15, 2017 (the “Basic Term”) (unless sooner terminated as hereinafter set forth). The Basic Term shall be automatically extended by one year commencing on the first (1st) anniversary date and on each subsequent anniversary date thereafter (each such date being a “Renewal Date”), unless and until at least ninety (90) days prior to a Renewal Date either party hereto gives written notice to the other that the Basic Term should not be further extended after the next Renewal Date (a “Notice of Non-Renewal”), in which event the Termination Date shall be the Renewal Date next following receipt of the Notice of Non-Renewal. For the removal of any doubt, unless the Company provides Executive with written notice of its intention not to renew this Agreement at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Basic Term or before the Renewal Date, this Agreement shall automatically renew for an additional one-year period commencing on the first (1st) day after each anniversary date. The period of time commencing on the Effective Date until the Agreement has been terminated as set forth herein shall be referred to as the “Employment Period.”

1.2 Duties as Executive of the Company. Executive shall, subject to the supervision of the Board, have general executive management and control of the Company in the ordinary course of its business with all such powers with respect to such management and control as may be reasonably incident to such responsibilities. Executive shall devote his full time and attention to diligently attending to the business of the Company during the Employment Period. During the Employment Period, Executive shall not directly or indirectly render any services of a business, commercial, or professional nature to any other person, firm, corporation, or organization, whether for compensation or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Board. However, Executive shall have the right to (i) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees, provided that the Board must approve Executive’s service on more than two (2) outside corporate boards, (ii) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach at educational institutions, and (iii) engage in such activities as may be appropriate in order to manage his personal investments so long as all such activities do not materially interfere or conflict with the performance of his duties to the Company hereunder. The conduct of such activity shall not be deemed to materially interfere or conflict with Executive’s performance of his duties until Executive has been notified in writing thereof and given a reasonable period in which to cure the same.

1.3 Place of Performance. Executive’s place of performance shall be mutually determined by Executive and the Company. During the Employment Period, the Company shall maintain executive offices for Executive in Houston, Texas, or in the location where Executive is assigned if Executive is employed for overseas employment. During the Employment Period, the Company shall provide Executive with an office and staff consistent with the practices of the Company in effect during Executive’s Basic Term of Employment.

1.4 Fiduciary Duty. Executive acknowledges and agrees that he owes a fiduciary duty to the Company and further agrees to make full disclosure to the Company of all business opportunities pertaining to the Company’s business and shall not act for his own benefit concerning the subject matter of his fiduciary relationship.

1.5 Compliance. Executive agrees that he will not take any action in violation of United States laws or other laws applicable to Executive’s employment, including, but without limited to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act of 2010, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

2. COMPENSATION AND RELATED MATTERS

2.1 Base Salary. Executive shall receive a base salary (the “Base Salary”) paid by the Company at the annual rate of $595,000 (Five Hundred Ninety-Five Thousand Dollars), payable in accordance with the Company’s general payment practices, but no less frequently than monthly, in substantially equal installments, with the opportunity for increases from time to time thereafter in accordance with the Company’s regular executive compensation practices.

2.2 Bonus Payments. For each full fiscal year of the Company that begins and ends during the Employment Period, Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual cash bonus in such amount as shall be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) based on the achievement by the Company and Executive of performance goals established by the Compensation Committee for each such fiscal year; provided, that the “Target Annual Bonus” shall be no less than 100% of Executive’s Base Salary. The Compensation Committee shall establish objective criteria to be used to determine the extent to which performance goals have been satisfied.

2.3 Expenses. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by him in accordance with the policies and procedures established by the Compensation Committee for the Company’s senior executive officers in performing services hereunder, provided that Executive properly accounts for such expenses in accordance with the Company’s policies and procedures.

2.4 Automobiles. The Company shall provide Executive with an automobile allowance of $1,500 per month, consistent with the practices of the Company.

2.5 Business, Travel and Entertainment Expenses. The Company shall promptly reimburse Executive for all business, travel and entertainment expenses consistent with Executive’s titles and the practices of the Company.

2.6 Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks of vacation per year. Vacation not taken during the applicable fiscal year (but not in excess of three weeks) shall be carried over to the next following fiscal year, subject to the Company’s then current practices.

2.7 Welfare, Pension and Incentive Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period, Executive (and his eligible spouse and dependents) shall be entitled to participate in all the welfare benefit plans and programs maintained by the Company from time-to-time for the benefit of its senior executives, including, without limitation, all medical, hospitalization, dental, disability, accidental death and dismemberment and travel accident insurance plans and programs.

OFFSHORE GROUP INVESTMENT LIMITED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

Page 3 of 29

in all pension, retirement, savings and other employee benefit plans and programs maintained from time-to-time by the Company for the benefit of its senior executives, other than any annual cash incentive plan.

2.8 Dues. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay or promptly reimburse Executive for annual dues for membership in professional organizations, to the extent that such dues are for the purpose of Executive maintaining continuing educational requirements and/or professional licenses directly related to the position in which Executive is employed.

2.9 Other Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to participate in or receive benefits under any compensatory employee benefit plan or other arrangement made available by the Company now or in the future (“Other Benefits”) to its senior executive officers and key management employees, subject to and on a basis consistent with the terms, conditions, and overall administration of such plan or arrangement. Nothing paid to Executive under any plan or arrangement presently in effect or made available in the future shall be deemed to be in lieu of the Base Salary payable to Executive pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement. The Company shall not make any changes in any employee benefit plans or other arrangements in effect on the date hereof or subsequently in effect in which Executive currently or in the future participates (including, without limitation, each pension and retirement plan, supplemental pension and retirement plan, savings and profit sharing plan, stock or unit ownership plan, stock or unit purchase plan, stock or unit option plan, life insurance plan, medical insurance plan, disability plan, dental plan, health and accident plan, or any other similar plan or arrangement) that would adversely affect Executive’s rights or benefits thereunder, unless such change occurs pursuant to a program applicable to substantially all executives of the Company and does not result in a proportionately greater reduction in the rights of or benefits to Executive as compared with any other executive of the Company. The Company shall recommend that Executive receive an annual award of restricted stock and/or stock options in the Company in the amount of approximately Two Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,100,000) based on market studies of industry executives, but Executive recognizes and agrees that future years could vary significantly as market conditions and industry compensation trends change and nothing herein shall require the Company or the Board to make any grant in any particular amount. If there is a Change of Control (as herein defined), any Stock Awards (as herein defined) which Executive has received under this Agreement, other than the Initial Award (as defined herein), shall vest immediately. The Initial Award shall be governed by the applicable award agreement.

2.10 Perquisites. Executive shall be entitled to receive the perquisites and fringe benefits appertaining to an executive officer of the Company, in accordance with any practice established by the Compensation Committee.

2.11 Proration. Any payments or benefits payable to Executive hereunder in respect of any calendar year during which Executive is employed by the Company for less than the entire year, unless otherwise provided in the applicable plan or arrangement, shall be prorated in accordance with the number of days in such calendar year during which he is so employed.

2.12 Insurance. The Company may, from time to time, apply for and take out, in its own name and at its own expense, naming itself or one or more of its affiliates as the designated beneficiary (which it may change from time to time), policies for life, health, accident, disability

or other insurance upon Executive in any amount or amounts that it may deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interest. Executive agrees to aid the Company in procuring such insurance by submitting to medical examinations and by completing, executing and delivering such applications and other instruments in writing as may reasonably be required by an insurance company or companies to which any application or applications for insurance may be made by or for the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this definition of Change of Control, for purposes of this Agreement other than the vesting of Stock Awards under Sections 2.9 and 3.4.2, a Change of Control shall not be deemed to occur unless such event or events would also be a “change in the ownership or effective control of the corporation or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the corporation” under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5).

D. “Disability” shall mean a disability suffered by Executive because he (i) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, or (ii) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Company.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated during the Employment Period by Executive for Good Reason, if one of the forgoing events shall occur without the written consent of Executive. Any such termination pursuant to this Section shall be made by Executive providing written notice to the Company specifying the event relied upon for such termination and given within sixty (60) days after such event. Any termination pursuant to this Section shall be effective thirty (30) days after the date Executive has given the Company such written notice setting forth the grounds for such termination with specificity. However, Good Reason shall exist with respect to an above specified matter only if such matter is not corrected by the Company within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such written notice of such matter from Executive, and in no event shall a termination by Executive more than ninety (90) days following the date of the event described above be a termination for Good Reason due to such event.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, and for the avoidance of doubt, upon Retirement, Executive shall be entitled exclusively to the benefits provided in Section 3.10 hereof, and under no circumstances shall Retirement constitute a Termination Without Cause, or a Termination by Executive with Good Reason.

OFFSHORE GROUP INVESTMENT LIMITED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

Page 8 of 29

3.2 Notice to Cure. Executive may not be terminated for Cause unless and until there has been delivered to Executive written notice from the Board supplying the particulars of Executive’s acts or omissions that the Board believes constitute Cause, a reasonable period of time (not less than thirty (30) days) has been given to Executive after such notice to either cure the same or to meet with the Board, with his attorney if so desired by Executive, and following which the Board by action of not less than two-thirds of its members (excluding Executive for purposes of determining such majority) furnishes to Executive a written resolution specifying in detail its findings that Executive has been terminated for Cause as of the date set forth in the notice to Executive.

3.3 Good Faith Belief. For purposes of this Agreement, no act or failure to act by Executive shall be considered “willful” if such act is done by Executive in the good faith belief that such act is or was to be beneficial to the Company or one or more of its businesses or subsidiaries or affiliates, or such failure to act is due to Executive’s good faith belief that such action would be materially harmful to the Company or one of its businesses. Executive’s actions resulting in a violation of law, including but not limited to laws specified in Section 1.5, shall not constitute a good faith belief for purposes of this Section or this Agreement. Cause shall not exist unless and until the Company has delivered to Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by not less than two-thirds of the Board (excluding Executive for purposes of determining such majority) at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose after reasonable (but in no event less than thirty (30) days’) notice to Executive and an opportunity for Executive, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board, finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board that “Cause” exists, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. This Section shall not prevent Executive from challenging in an arbitration proceeding the Board’s determination that Cause exists or that Executive has failed to cure any act (or failure to act) that purportedly formed the basis for the Board’s determination.

3.4 Termination Without Cause or Termination For Good Reason: Benefits. If Executive’s employment is terminated either by the Company without Cause, but not because of Executive’s Disability or death, or by Executive for Good Reason, if Executive executes and delivers to the Company a Release Agreement in accordance with Section 3.9.4, Executive shall receive the payments and benefits described in this Section 3.4 unless Executive is entitled to benefits under Section 3.8 below.

3.4.1. Base Salary and Annual Bonus. The Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to three (3) times the sum of Executive’s annual Base Salary and Target Annual Bonus, which shall be paid in substantially equal installments in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices commencing on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date through the third (3rd) anniversary of the Termination Date, provided that the first such payment shall include any amounts that would have otherwise been paid during the period from the Termination Date through the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date.

3.4.2. Stock Awards. If there is a Change of Control, termination without Cause or termination for Good Reason, any equity-based awards under any long-term incentive plans or programs as Company may adopt from time to time (“Stock Awards”) which Executive has received shall vest immediately, provided, however, that the

OFFSHORE GROUP INVESTMENT LIMITED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

Page 9 of 29

foregoing shall not apply to the initial Stock Awards granted to Executive pursuant to the Offshore Group Investment Limited 2016 Management Incentive Plan (the “MIP”) in connection with and at the time of the Company’s emergence from its 2015 chapter 11 bankruptcy and any Petrobras Litigation Award granted under the MIP (collectively, the “Initial Award”), which shall be governed in accordance with the applicable award agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Stock Awards (other than the Initial Award) that are performance-based shall vest according to the Stock Award’s “target level,” provided that such performance-based Stock Awards may vest at a higher level upon a Change of Control, subject to the further determination of the Compensation Committee.

3.4.3. Expenses. All accrued compensation and unreimbursed expenses through the Termination Date. Such amounts shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date.

3.4.4. Mitigation. Executive shall be free to accept other employment during such period, and there shall be no offset of any employment compensation earned by Executive in such other employment during such period against payments due Executive under this Section 3, and there shall be no offset in any compensation received from such other employment against the Base Salary set forth above.

3.5 Termination In Event of Death: Benefits. If Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of Executive’s death during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate, except as provided herein, without further obligation to Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement, other than for payment of all accrued compensation which shall be paid as otherwise provided in this Agreement, unreimbursed expenses which shall be reimbursed in accordance with the Company’s reimbursement policy, the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits through the date of death, one (1) year’s Base Salary, and such cash bonus or Stock Award, other than the Initial Award, as Executive would otherwise have been awarded in that calendar year if Executive’s death had not occurred. Such Base Salary shall be paid to Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within ninety (90) days after the date of death. Such cash bonus, if any, shall be paid to Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, at such time that such cash bonus would have been paid if Executive had remained employed. Such Stock Award, if any, shall be granted to Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, as of Executive’s date of death. With respect to the provision of Other Benefits, the term Other Benefits as used in this Section shall include, without limitation, and Executive’s estate and/or beneficiaries shall be entitled to receive, benefits at least equal to the most favorable benefits provided by the Company to the estates and beneficiaries of other executive level employees of the Company under such plans, programs, practices, and policies relating to death benefits, if any, as in effect with respect to other executives and their beneficiaries at any time during the one hundred twenty (120) day period immediately preceding the date of death. Additionally, all Stock Awards, other than the Initial Award (which shall be governed by the applicable award agreement), shall be vested immediately and shall be exercisable for the lesser of one year after the date of such vesting or the remaining term of such option.

3.6 Termination In Event of Disability: Benefits. If Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of Executive’s Disability during the Employment Period, this Agreement

OFFSHORE GROUP INVESTMENT LIMITED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

Page 10 of 29

shall terminate, except as provided herein, without further obligation to Executive under this Agreement, other than for payment of all accrued compensation which shall be paid as otherwise provided in this Agreement, unreimbursed expenses which shall be reimbursed in accordance with the Company’s reimbursement policy, the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits through the Termination Date, one (1) year’s Base Salary, and such cash bonus or Stock Award, other than the Initial Award, as Executive would otherwise have been awarded in that calendar year if Executive’s termination had not occurred. Such Base Salary shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum in cash within ninety (90) days after the Termination Date. Such cash bonus, if any, shall be paid to Executive at such time that such cash bonus would have been paid if Executive had remained employed. Such Stock Award, if any, shall be granted as of Executive’s Termination Date. In addition, all outstanding Stock Awards, other than the Initial Award (which shall be governed by the applicable award agreement), shall vest immediately upon such termination due to Disability and shall be exercisable from the Termination Date for the remainder of their term.

3.7 Voluntary Termination by Executive and Termination for Cause: Benefits. Executive may terminate his employment with the Company without Good Reason by giving written notice of his intent and stating an effective Termination Date at least ninety (90) days after the date of such notice; provided, however, that the Company may accelerate such effective date by paying Executive through the proposed Termination Date and also vesting awards that would have vested but for this acceleration of the proposed Termination Date and also vesting awards that would have vested but for this acceleration of the proposed Termination Date. Upon such a termination by Executive, except as provided in Section 5, or upon termination for Cause by the Company, this Agreement shall terminate and the Company shall pay to Executive all accrued compensation, unreimbursed expenses and the Other Benefits through the Termination Date. Such amounts shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date. In addition, all unvested stock options shall terminate and all vested options will terminate one hundred twenty (120) days after the Termination Date or, if sooner, upon the expiration of the remaining term of such option.

3.8 Change of Control: Benefits.

3.8.1. If (a) Executive’s employment is terminated either (i) by the Company without Cause, but not because of Executive’s Disability or death, or (ii) by Executive for Good Reason, (b) Executive’s Termination Date is during the period beginning six (6) months immediately preceding a Change of Control and ending twenty-four months after the date of the Change of Control, provided that if Executive’s Termination Date is prior to the date of a Change of Control such termination is an Anticipatory Termination and (c) Executive executes and delivers to the Company a Release Agreement in accordance with Section 3.9.4, Executive shall receive the following payments and benefits in lieu of any payments or benefits under Section 3.4.1 herein:

(i) Base Salary and Annual Bonus. The Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to the sum of Executive’s Base Salary plus Executive’s Average Bonus Amount, multiplied by three (3). For purposes of this Section 3.8.1, “Average Annual Bonus” means the amount equal to the annual average of the annual bonuses earned in respect of a fiscal year of the Company that was paid or payable to

OFFSHORE GROUP INVESTMENT LIMITED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

Page 11 of 29

Executive by the Company and any affiliate for each of the three fiscal years of the Company that immediately precede the fiscal year in which the Change of Control occurs, but not less than the greater of (A) Executive’s highest annual target bonus during any of such three preceding fiscal years or (B) Executive’s targeted bonus for the fiscal year in which the Change of Control occurs. Such amounts shall be paid on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date, provided, however, that if Executive’s termination of employment is an Anticipatory Termination, such amount shall be paid on the sixtieth (60th) day immediately following the Change of Control and shall be reduced by any payment previously made under Section 3.4.1.

(ii) Accelerated Vesting of Stock Awards. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in (A) the award agreement for the Stock Award or (B) the plan under which the Stock Award was granted, with respect to Executive, each outstanding Stock Award held by Executive immediately before the Termination Date and not yet exercised or forfeited (as the case may be) will automatically accelerate and become fully vested, exercisable, and nonforfeitable as of the Termination Date, or in the event of an Anticipatory Termination as of the date of the occurrence of the Change of Control (in each case, to the extent the Stock Award was not already fully vested and exercisable at such time), to the same extent as though all requisite time had passed to fully vest the Stock Award or cause it to become exercisable or nonforfeitable. This Section 3.8.1(ii) shall not apply to the Initial Award, which shall be governed by the terms of the applicable award agreement.

(iii) Outplacement Assistance. The Company shall provide Executive with outplacement services, for a twelve (12) month period commencing on the Termination Date, or in the event of an Anticipatory Termination the date of the occurrence of the Change of Control, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $20,000. The Company shall establish reasonable procedures for the designation, review and approval of outplacement services, as well as for the payment or reimbursement of the charges for such services.

3.9.1. Notice of Termination. Any termination of Executive’s employment by the Company or by Executive during the Employment Period (other than pursuant to Section 3.5) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice indicating the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under that provision.

3.9.2. Termination Date. “Termination Date” shall mean (i) if Executive’s employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death, (ii) if Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 3.6, thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination (provided that Executive does not return to the substantial performance of his duties on a full-time basis during such thirty (30) day period), (iii) if Executive’s employment is terminated voluntarily without Good Reason, the date determined in accordance with Section 3.7, and (iv) if Executive’s employment is terminated for any other reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given or any later date (within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice) set forth in such Notice of Termination.

OFFSHORE GROUP INVESTMENT LIMITED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

Page 13 of 29

Executive must return the executed Release Agreement and any applicable revocation period must lapse within sixty (60) days of the Termination Date. The Company shall also execute the Release Agreement; provided, however, that the Company may, in its sole discretion, waive the requirement that the Release Agreement be executed by Executive and the Company as a condition to Executive’s receipt of the Termination Benefits. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, unless the Company has waived the requirement for Executive and the Company to execute the Release Agreement (as provided in the preceding sentence), no Termination Benefits shall be payable or provided by the Company unless and until the Release Agreement has been executed by Executive, has not been revoked, and is no longer subject to revocation by Executive. The Termination Benefits shall be paid or provided by the Company at the end of such 60-day period, but only if the Release Agreement has been properly executed by Executive and is not revocable, and has not been revoked, at that time, regardless of the date on which the Release Agreement was actually executed by Executive. If the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence are not satisfied by Executive, the Termination Benefits hereunder shall be forfeited.

3.10 Vesting of Benefits Upon Retirement. Upon Retirement of Executive, all Stock Awards granted to Executive through the date of Retirement shall vest in accordance with Section 3.4.2, other than the Initial Award (which shall be governed by the applicable award agreement).

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit by or from the Company or any of its affiliates or successors to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise would be subject to the Excise Tax (as hereinafter defined in Section 3.11.6) (all such payments and benefits being collectively referred to herein as the “Payments”), then except as otherwise provided in Section 3.11.2, the Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) or eliminated (as further provided for in Section 3.11.3) to the extent the Independent Tax Advisor (as hereinafter defined in Section 3.11.5) shall reasonably determine is necessary so that no portion of the Payments shall be subject to the Excise Tax.

3.11.2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.11.1, if the Independent Tax Advisor reasonably determines that Executive would receive, in the aggregate, a greater amount of the Payments on an after-tax basis (after including and taking into account all applicable federal, state, and local income, employment and other applicable taxes and the Excise Tax) if the Payments were not reduced or eliminated pursuant to Section 3.11.1, then no such reduction or elimination shall be made notwithstanding that all or any portion of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax.

3.11.3.3 then by reducing or eliminating the portion of the Payments otherwise due to or for the benefit of Executive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and which are payable in cash;

3.11.3.4 then by reducing or eliminating the portion of the Payments otherwise due that represent equity-based compensation, such reduction or elimination to be made in reverse chronological order with the most recent equity-based compensation awards reduced first; and

3.11.3.5 then by reducing or eliminating the portion of the Payments otherwise due to or for the benefit of Executive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and which are not payable in cash.

3.11.4.

5.16 Court Review. If any court determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration or geographical scope of, or scope of activities restrained by, such provision, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision, as the case may be, and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable.

10.1 Separation from Service. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any amounts payable to Executive under this Agreement in connection with a termination of Executive’s employment that would be considered “non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, in no event shall a termination of employment be considered to have occurred under this Agreement unless such termination constitutes Executive’s “separation from service” with the Company as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), and any successor provision thereto (“Separation from Service”).

B. The determination of whether Executive is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code as of the time of his Separation from Service shall be made by the Company in accordance with the terms of Section 409A of the Code, and applicable guidance thereunder (including without limitation Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) and any successor provision thereto).

10.3 Section 409A; Separate Payments. This Agreement is intended to be written, administered, interpreted and construed in a manner such that no payment or benefits provided under the Agreement become subject to (a) the gross income inclusion set forth within Section 409A(a)(1)(A) of the Code or (b) the interest and additional tax set forth within Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code (collectively, “Section 409A Penalties”), including, where appropriate, the construction of defined terms to have meanings that would not cause the imposition of Section 409A Penalties. Notwithstanding the preceding, in no event shall the Company be required to provide a tax gross up payment to or otherwise reimburse Executive with respect to Section 409A Penalties. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), each payment that Executive may be eligible to receive under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate and distinct payment and shall not collectively be treated as a single payment.

10.4 In-kind Benefits and Reimbursements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Company policy with respect to such payments, in-kind benefits and reimbursements provided under this Agreement during any tax year of Executive shall not affect in-kind benefits or reimbursements to be provided in any other tax year of Executive and are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, reimbursement requests must be timely submitted by Executive and, if timely submitted, reimbursement payments shall be made to Executive as soon as administratively practicable following such submission in accordance with the Company’s policies regarding reimbursements, but (except as provided below in Section 10.5) in no event later than the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. This Section 10.4 shall only apply to in-kind benefits and reimbursements that would result in taxable compensation income to Executive.

10.5 Reformation. If any provision of this Agreement would cause Executive to occur any additional tax under Code Section 409A, the parties will in good faith attempt to reform the provision in a manner that maintains, to the extent possible, the original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provision of Code Section 409A.

11. ENFORCEABILITY

The agreements contained in the restrictive covenant provisions of Section 5 this Agreement are independent of the other agreements contained herein.

12. SURVIVABILITY

The agreements contained in Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

13. ASSIGNMENT

This Agreement cannot be assigned by Executive. The Company may assign this Agreement only to a successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Company provided such successor expressly agrees in writing reasonably satisfactory to Executive to assume and perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession and assignment had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such written agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a material breach of this Agreement.

14. BINDING AGREEMENT

Executive understands that his obligations under this Agreement are binding upon Executive’s heirs, successors, personal representatives, and legal representatives.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement specifically does not release any claim or cause of action by or on behalf of Executive (or his beneficiary) with respect to (a) Executive’s right to indemnification or to be held harmless pursuant to applicable corporate governance documents, director and officer indemnification agreements and/or applicable laws, (b) any outstanding restricted stock award, other outstanding equity award or equity interest in Vantage Drilling Company, or (c) any claim for accrued compensation or employee benefits from Vantage Drilling Company that have not been assumed by the Company.

17. WAIVER

No waiver by either party to this Agreement of any right to enforce any term or condition of this Agreement, or of any breach hereof, shall be deemed a waiver of such right in the future or of any other right or remedy available under this Agreement. Executive’s or the Company’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision hereof or any other provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any right Executive or the Company may have hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of Executive to terminate employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 3.1.E. hereof (subject to the requirements of Section 3.1.E. hereof), shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.

18. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be void invalid, unenforceable, or against public policy, such provisions shall be deemed severable from the Agreement, and the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain unaffected and in full force and effect. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

19. ARBITRATION

In the event any dispute arises out of Executive’s employment with or by the Company, or separation/termination therefrom, whether as an employee, which cannot be resolved by the Parties to this Agreement, such dispute shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). If the Parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, a list of seven (7) arbitrators will be requested from AAA, and the arbitrator will be selected using alternate strikes with Executive striking firm. The cost of the arbitration will be shared equally by Executive and the Company; provided, however, the Company shall promptly reimburse Executive for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any dispute in an amount up to, but not exceeding 20 percent of Executive’s Base Salary unless such termination was for Cause in which event Executive shall not be entitled to reimbursement unless and until it is determined he was terminated other than for Cause. Arbitration of such disputes is mandatory and in lieu of any and all civil causes of action and lawsuits either party may have against the other arising out of Executive’s employment with the Company, or separation therefrom. Such arbitration shall be held in Houston, Texas. This provision shall not, however, preclude the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce Section 5 of this Agreement.

20. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

The terms and provisions contained herein shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to Executive’s employment with the Company during the Employment Period. This Agreement replaces and supersedes the Previous Agreement and any and all existing agreements entered into between Executive and the Company relating generally to the same subject matter, if any, and shall be binding upon Executive’s heirs, executors, administrators, or other legal representatives or assigns.
