PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary provides a brief overview of certain information from this prospectus, but may not contain all the information that may be important to you. You should read this entire prospectus before making an investment decision. You should carefully consider the information set forth under “Risk Factors.” In addition, certain statements include forward-looking information which involve risks and uncertainties. Please read “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

In this prospectus, we use the term “old notes” to refer to the $775,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 11 ¹/₂% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2015 that were issued on April 10, 2012, and the term “exchange notes” to refer to the $775,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 11 ¹/₂% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2015 that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and are being offered in exchange for the old notes as described in this prospectus. References to the “notes” in this prospectus include both the old notes and the exchange notes. As used in this prospectus, unless the context otherwise requires, (i) “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Vantage Drilling Company and its subsidiaries (including the issuer) on a consolidated basis, (ii) the “parent” refers to Vantage Drilling Company, only and not to any of its subsidiaries, and (iii) the “issuer” refers to Offshore Group Investment Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability and the issuer of the notes.

The issuer previously issued $1.225 billion in aggregate principal amount of notes under the Indenture. The old notes were issued as “additional notes” under the Indenture. The notes initially issued under the Indenture and the old notes are, and the exchange notes will be, a single series of securities under the Indenture.

Our Company

We are an international offshore drilling company focused on operating a fleet of modern, high specification drilling units. Our principal business is to contract drilling units, related equipment and work crews, primarily on a dayrate basis to drill oil and natural gas wells for our customers. We also provide construction supervision services for, and will operate and manage, drilling units owned by others. Through our fleet of drilling units, we are a provider of offshore contract drilling services to major, national and independent oil and natural gas companies, focused primarily on international markets. Our fleet of owned and managed drilling units is currently comprised of four jackup rigs in operation and three drillships, two of which are in operation and one of which is under construction. In addition, in May 2011, we executed a turnkey construction contract with DSME to construct an ultra-deepwater drillship, to be named the Tungsten Explorer, at the DSME yard in South Korea. We expect the Tungsten Explorer to be delivered in the second quarter of 2013. We are also overseeing the construction of one additional drillship for a third party. Our ordinary shares are listed on the NYSE Amex under the symbol “VTG.”

The Exchange Offer

On April 10, 2012, we completed a private offering of $775,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the old notes and the guarantees thereof. As part of this private offering, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the old notes. You are entitled to exchange in the exchange offer your old notes for exchange notes which are identical in all material respects to the old notes except that:

• The exchange notes have been registered under the Securities Act and will be freely tradable by persons who are not affiliated with us;

• The exchange notes are not entitled to registration rights which are applicable to the old notes under the registration rights agreement; and

• Our obligation to pay additional interest on the old notes due to the failure to consummate the exchange offer by a prior date does not apply to the exchange notes.

The following is a summary of the exchange offer.

Exchange Offer We are offering to exchange up to $775,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our exchange notes and the guarantees thereof that have been registered under the Securities Act for an equal amount of our old notes.

Expiration Date; Withdrawal of Tenders The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                     , 2012, unless we decide to extend it. We do not currently intend to extend the expiration date.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer The exchange offer is subject to customary conditions, which we may waive. Please read “The Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” for more information regarding the conditions to the exchange offer.

Procedures for Tendering Old Notes Unless you comply with the procedures described under the caption “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering—Guaranteed Delivery,” you must do one of the following on or prior to the expiration of the exchange offer to participate in the exchange offer:

• tender your old notes by sending the certificates for your old notes, in proper form for transfer, a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, with any required signature guarantees, and all other documents required by the letter of transmittal, to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as registrar and exchange agent, at the address listed under the caption “The Exchange Offer—Exchange Agent;” or

• tender your old notes by using the book-entry transfer procedures described below and transmitting a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, with any required signature guarantees, or an agent’s message instead of the letter of transmittal, to the exchange agent. In order for a book-entry transfer to constitute a valid tender of your old notes in the exchange offer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as registrar and exchange agent, must receive a confirmation of book-entry transfer of your old notes into the exchange agent’s

4

account at The Depository Trust Company prior to the expiration of the exchange offer. For more information regarding the use of book-entry transfer procedures, including a description of the required agent’s message, please read the discussion under the caption “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering—Book-Entry Transfer.”

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures If you are a registered holder of the old notes and wish to tender your old notes in the exchange offer, but:

• the old notes are not immediately available,

• time will not permit your old notes or other required documents to reach the exchange agent before the expiration of the exchange offer, or

• the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed prior to the expiration of the exchange offer,

then you may tender old notes by following the procedures described under the caption “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering—Guaranteed Delivery.”

Special Procedures for Beneficial Owners If you are a beneficial owner whose old notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender your old notes in the exchange offer, you should promptly contact the person in whose name the old notes are registered and instruct that person to tender on your behalf.

If you wish to tender in the exchange offer on your own behalf, prior to completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering the certificates for your old notes, you must either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the old notes in your name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the person in whose name the old notes are registered.

Withdrawal; Non-Acceptance You may withdraw any old notes tendered in the exchange offer at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                     , 2012. If we decide for any reason not to accept any old notes tendered for exchange, the old notes will be returned to the registered holder at our expense promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer. In the case of old notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at The Depository Trust Company, any withdrawn or unaccepted old notes will be credited to the tendering holder’s account at The Depository Trust Company. For further information regarding the withdrawal of tendered old notes, please read “The Exchange Offer—Withdrawal Rights.”

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations The exchange of the exchange notes for the old notes in the exchange offer should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For more information, please see “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

5

Use of Proceeds The issuance of the exchange notes will not provide us with any new proceeds. We are making this exchange offer solely to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement.

Fees and Expenses We will pay all of our expenses incident to the exchange offer.

Exchange Agent We have appointed Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as exchange agent for the exchange offer. You can find the address, telephone number and fax number of the exchange agent under the caption “The Exchange Offer—Exchange Agent.”

Resales of Exchange Notes Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC, as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties that are not related to us, we believe that the exchange notes you receive in the exchange offer may be offered for resale, resold or otherwise transferred by you without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act so long as:

• the exchange notes are being acquired in the ordinary course of business;

• you are not participating, do not intend to participate, and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the exchange notes issued to you in the exchange offer;

• you are not our affiliate; and

• you are not a broker-dealer tendering old notes acquired directly from us for your account.

The SEC has not considered this exchange offer in the context of a no-action letter, and we cannot assure you that the SEC would make similar determinations with respect to this exchange offer. If any of these conditions are not satisfied, or if our belief is not accurate, and you transfer any exchange notes issued to you in the exchange offer without delivering a resale prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or without an exemption from registration of your exchange notes from those requirements, you may incur liability under the Securities Act. We will not assume, nor will we indemnify you against, any such liability. Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for old notes, where the old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. Please read “Plan of Distribution.”

Please read “The Exchange Offer—Resales of Exchange Notes” for more information regarding resales of the exchange notes.

Effect on Holders of Old Notes As a result of the making of, and upon acceptance for exchange of all validly tendered old notes pursuant to the terms of, the exchange offer, we will have fulfilled a covenant contained in the registration

6

rights agreement and, accordingly, we will not be obligated to pay additional interest as described in the registration rights agreement. If you are a holder of old notes and do not tender your old notes in the exchange offer, you will continue to hold such old notes and you will be entitled to all the rights and limitations applicable to the old notes in the indenture, except for any rights under the registration rights agreement that by their terms terminate upon the consummation of the exchange offer.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange All untendered old notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided for in the old notes and in the indenture. In general, the old notes may not be offered or sold unless registered under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Other than in connection with the exchange offer, we do not currently anticipate that we will register the old notes under the Securities Act.

7

Terms of the Exchange Notes

The exchange notes will be identical to the old notes except that the exchange notes are registered under the Securities Act and will not have restrictions on transfer, registration rights or provisions for additional interest and will contain different administrative terms. The exchange notes will evidence the same debt as the old notes, and the same indenture will govern the exchange notes and the old notes. Because the exchange notes will be registered, the exchange notes will not be subject to transfer restrictions, and holders of old notes that have tendered and had their old notes accepted in the exchange offer will have no registration rights.

The following summary contains basic information about the exchange notes and is not intended to be complete. It does not contain all the information that is important to you. For a more complete understanding of the exchange notes, please refer to the section of this prospectus entitled “Description of the Exchange Notes.”

Issuer Offshore Group Investment Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability.

Notes Offered $775,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 11 ¹/₂% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2015.

Maturity Date The exchange notes will mature on August 1, 2015.

Interest The exchange notes will bear interest at an annual rate of 11 ¹/₂%. Interest on outstanding exchange notes will be payable semi-annually, in arrears, on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 2012. Interest on the exchange notes will accrue from February 1, 2012.

Guarantees The exchange notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by parent and each of the issuer’s existing and future subsidiaries, including any existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee any credit agreement, and by certain of parent’s other subsidiaries. See “Description of the Exchange Notes—Note Guarantees.”

Security The exchange notes and the guarantees will be secured by a first priority security interest in the Emerald Driller, the Sapphire Driller, the Topaz Driller, the Aquamarine Driller, the Platinum Explorer and the Titanium Explorer. The notes and the guarantees will also be secured by certain other assets of the issuer and the guarantors (other than parent) and by a pledge of the stock of the issuer and the guarantors (other than parent).

Ranking The exchange notes will:

• be the issuer’s senior secured obligations;

• rank equal in right of payment with all of the issuer’s existing and future senior indebtedness; and

• rank senior in right of payment to all of the issuer’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness.

8

The guarantees of each guarantor will:

• be senior secured obligations of that guarantor;

• rank equal in right of payment with all of that guarantor’s existing and future senior indebtedness, including guarantees; and

• rank senior in right of payment to all of that guarantor’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness.

At December 31, 2011, the issuer and the restricted subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, would have had outstanding approximately $2.0 billion of senior indebtedness consisting of the exchange notes, and the parent and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, would have had outstanding approximately $2.0 billion of senior indebtedness, consisting of the exchange notes and the F3 Capital Note. For more information, see “Description of the Exchange Notes.”

Intercreditor Agreement After completion of the exchange offer, the issuer or any guarantor may seek to enter into a credit agreement. If the issuer or any guarantor enters into any such credit agreement in the future whose borrowings are secured by liens on collateral, the issuer, the guarantors, the trustee, the credit agreement collateral agent on behalf of the credit agreement secured parties and the noteholder collateral agent on behalf of the exchange notes secured parties will enter into an intercreditor agreement which will define the rights of such parties with respect to the collateral. We expect that any intercreditor agreement will provide, among other things, that all indebtedness under the indenture governing the exchange notes and certain other indebtedness permitted under the indenture and all other obligations related to such indebtedness and owing under the documents relating to such indebtedness will be secured by first priority liens on the collateral, which liens are intended to be pari passu with the first priority liens thereon that will secure obligations under any credit agreement.

Optional Redemption On or after February 1, 2013, the issuer may redeem some or all of the exchange notes at redemption prices that decrease over time, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date as described under the heading “Description of the Exchange Notes—Redemption & Offer to Purchase—Optional Redemption.”

Prior to February 1, 2013, the issuer may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the exchange notes with the net proceeds of one or more equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 111.500% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption; provided that, following such redemption, at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes originally issued under the indenture remains outstanding, and the redemption occurs within 45 days of the date of the closing of such sale.

9

In addition, the issuer may, at its option, redeem some or all of the exchange notes at any time prior to February 1, 2013 by paying a “make-whole” premium.

Special Mandatory Redemption The issuer will be required to make a special mandatory redemption upon a total loss of a vessel.

Redemption upon a Change in Tax Law The issuer will have the option to redeem the exchange notes, in whole but not in part, at any time, at a redemption price of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the exchange notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, if the issuer or any guarantor have become or would become obligated to pay certain amounts as a result of the imposition of withholding taxes on the exchange notes as a result of a change in the laws of any jurisdiction in which the issuer or any guarantor is organized or otherwise considered by a taxing authority to be a resident for tax purposes or from or through which the issuer or any guarantor make a payment on the notes or any guarantee.

Change of Control Offer If parent or the issuer experiences a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the exchange notes), each holder of exchange notes will have the right to require the issuer to repurchase all or any part of its exchange notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

Asset Sale Offer If the issuer or any restricted subsidiary engages in certain asset sales, within 360 days of such sale, the issuer generally must use the net cash proceeds from such sales to repay outstanding debt (other than any credit agreement that we may enter into after the closing of this offering), to acquire another company in its industry, to make capital expenditures or to invest in its business, or the issuer must make an offer to purchase a principal amount of the exchange notes equal to the excess net cash proceeds. The purchase price of each note so purchased will be 100% of its principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date.

Excess Cash Flow Offer Subject to certain conditions, for any semi-annual period ending June 30 and December 31, commencing June 30, 2011, in which the issuer’s ratio of total Indebtedness to Consolidated Cash Flow (as such terms are defined in the indenture governing the exchange notes) is greater than or equal to 2.5 to 1, the issuer must make an offer to purchase exchange notes with the greater of (i) 75% of the issuer’s excess cash flow (as defined in the indenture governing the exchange notes) and (ii) $30.0 million, in each case, at 101% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. In any semi-annual period in which such ratio is less than 2.5 to 1, the issuer must make an offer to purchase exchange notes with 50% of the issuer’s excess cash flow; provided that the issuer will not be required to make an excess cash flow offer in any semi-annual period referred to in this sentence if the excess cash flow for such semi-annual period is less than $5.0 million.

Certain Covenants The indenture governing the exchange notes, among other things, limits the issuer’s and any restricted subsidiaries’ ability and, in certain cases, the ability of parent to:

• pay dividends, redeem subordinated indebtedness or make other restricted payments;

• incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock;

• create or incur liens;

• incur dividend or other payment restrictions affecting restricted subsidiaries;

• consummate a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of their assets;

• enter into transactions with affiliates;

• transfer or sell assets;

• engage in business other than their current business and reasonably related extensions thereof;

• issue capital stock of certain subsidiaries; or

• take or omit to take any actions that would adversely affect or impair in any material respect the collateral securing the exchange notes and the guarantees.

These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. See “Description of the Exchange Notes—Certain Covenants.”

No Public Market The notes are new issues of securities and there is currently no established market for them. Accordingly, a market for the notes, or, if issued, the exchange notes, may not develop, or if one does develop, it may not provide adequate liquidity. The initial purchasers advised us that they intend to make a market for the notes as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. However, the initial purchasers are not obligated to do so and may discontinue any such market making activities without any notice.

Form and Denomination The new notes may be issued only in registered form. The new notes will initially be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The new notes initially sold by the initial purchasers will be represented by permanent global notes in fully registered form, deposited with a custodian for and registered in the name of a nominee of DTC. Beneficial interests in the global notes will be shown on, and transfers will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC and its participants. Except as described herein, notes in certificated form will not be issued in exchange for the global notes or interests therein.

Risk Factors You should consider carefully all of the information set forth in this offering memorandum and, in particular, you should evaluate the risks described under “Risk Factors” before deciding to invest in the new notes.

Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges

The following table sets forth our historical consolidated ratio of earning to fixed charges for the periods shown:

	Year ended December 31								Six Months Ended June 30,
	2008		2009		2010		2011		2012
Ratio of earnings to fixed charges		—		—		—		—		—

For the purposes of determining the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings are defined as pre-tax income from continuing operations plus fixed charges and amortization of capitalized interest less capitalized interest. Fixed charges are the sum of (a) interest expensed and capitalized, (b) amortized premiums, discounts and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness and (c) an estimate of the interest within rental expense. Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $51.9 million $12.5 million, $74.5 million, $73.2 million and $25.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, December 31, 2009, December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011 and for the six months ended June 30, 2012 respectively. We had no preferred shares outstanding as of the end of any of the periods shown.

Risk Factors

Investing in the exchange notes involves substantial risk. Please read “Risk Factors,” beginning on page 13 of this prospectus for a discussion of certain factors that you should consider before participating in the exchange offer.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the exchange notes involves a number of risks. You should carefully consider the risks described below and other information in this prospectus before deciding to tender your old notes and participate in the exchange offer. Some of the following factors relate principally to our business and the industry in which we operate. Other factors relate principally to the exchange notes offered hereby. The risks and uncertainties described below are not intended to be exhaustive but represent the risks that we believe are material. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or which we currently deem immaterial, may also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results and could therefore affect your investment in the exchange notes.

Risk Related to the Exchange Offer

If you do not properly tender your old notes, you will continue to hold unregistered old notes and your ability to transfer those notes will be adversely affected.

We will only issue exchange notes in exchange for old notes that you timely and properly tender. Therefore, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery of the old notes and you should carefully follow the instructions on how to tender your old notes. Neither we nor the exchange agent is required to inform you of any defects or irregularities with respect to your tender of old notes. Please read “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering” and “Description of the Exchange Notes.”

If you do not exchange your old notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer, you will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer of your old notes described in the legend on the certificates for your old notes. In general, you may only offer or sell the old notes if they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or offered and sold under an exemption from these requirements. We do not plan to register any sale of the old notes under the Securities Act. For further information regarding the consequences of tendering your old notes in the exchange offer, please read “The Exchange Offer—Consequences of Failure to Exchange Outstanding Securities.”

You may find it difficult to sell your exchange notes.

Although the exchange notes will be registered under the Securities Act, the exchange notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Because there is no public market for the exchange notes, you may not be able to resell them.

We cannot assure you that an active market will exist for the exchange notes or that any trading market that does develop will be liquid. If an active market does not develop or is not maintained, the market price and liquidity of the exchange notes may be adversely affected. If a market for the exchange notes develops, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price. The trading market for the exchange notes may be adversely affected by:

• changes in the overall market for non-investment grade securities;

• changes in our financial performance or prospects;

• the financial performance or prospects for companies in our industry generally;

• the number of holders of the exchange notes;

• the interest of securities dealers in making a market for the exchange notes; and

• prevailing interest rates and general economic conditions.

Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to substantial volatility in prices. The market for the exchange notes, if any, may be subject to similar volatility. Prospective investors in the exchange notes should be aware that they may be required to bear the financial risks of such investment for an indefinite period of time.

13

Some holders who exchange their old notes may be deemed to be underwriters.

If you exchange your old notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the exchange notes, you may be deemed to have received restricted securities and, if so, will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction.

Risks Related to the Notes

Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health and prevent parent and the issuer from fulfilling obligations under the notes.

As of March 31, 2012, on a consolidated basis, we had total senior indebtedness, net of discount, outstanding of approximately $2.0 billion consisting of the notes and the F3 Capital Note. Subject to the restrictions in the indenture governing the notes, we may incur additional indebtedness. Our high level of indebtedness could have important consequences for an investment in us and significant effects on our business. For example, our level of indebtedness and the terms of our debt agreements may:

• make it more difficult for us to satisfy our financial obligations under our indebtedness and our contractual and commercial commitments and increase the risk that we may default on our debt obligations;

• prevent us from raising the funds necessary to repurchase notes tendered to us if there is a change of control or in connection with an excess cash flow offer, which would constitute a default under the indenture governing the notes;

• require us to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to pay interest and principal on the notes and other debt, which would reduce the funds available for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;

• limit our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other investments, or general corporate purposes, which may limit our ability to execute our business strategy;

• heighten our vulnerability to downturns in our business, our industry or in the general economy and restrict us from exploiting business opportunities or making acquisitions;

• place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to those of our competitors that may have proportionately less debt;

• limit management’s discretion in operating our business;

• limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business, the industry in which we operate or the general economy; and

• result in higher interest expense if interest rates increase and we have outstanding floating rate borrowings.

Each of these factors may have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and viability. Our ability to satisfy our other debt obligations will depend on our future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors affecting our company and industry, many of which are beyond our control.

The parent and the issuer may still be able to incur substantially more debt after the issuance of the notes. This could exacerbate the risks associated with their substantial leverage.

Even with our existing level of debt, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial amounts of additional secured and unsecured indebtedness in the future, including debt under future credit facilities, some or all of which may be secured on a first priority basis. As a result, any such debt could be secured by assets that

14

secure the notes and the note guarantees which could dilute the value of the collateral securing the notes and the note guarantees or could be secured by assets of a subsidiary of the parent that is not a guarantor of the notes which would be effectively senior to the notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing any such debt. As of March 31, 2012, we would have the ability to incur additional indebtedness under the indenture for the notes, including up to $25.0 million of additional indebtedness under any credit agreement that may be entered into by us. Although the terms of the notes and any future credit facilities limit our ability to incur additional debt, these terms do not and will not prohibit us from incurring substantial amounts of additional debt for specific purposes or under certain circumstances. For example, the indenture governing the notes allows us to issue additional notes under certain circumstances, which additional notes will also be guaranteed by the guarantors and will share in the collateral that secures the notes and guarantees. We may also incur other additional indebtedness secured by liens that rank equal to those securing the notes in which case, the holders of that debt will be entitled to share equally with the holders of the notes in any proceeds distributed in connection with our winding up, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization or dissolution of the issuer. If new debt is added to our and our subsidiaries’ current debt levels, the related risks that we and they now face could intensify and could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial leverage.

The parent and the issuer may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to meet their debt service and other obligations, including the notes, due to events beyond their control.

The ability of parent and the issuer to generate cash flows from operations and to make scheduled payments on or refinance their indebtedness, including the notes, and to fund working capital needs and planned capital expenditures will depend on the ability of parent’s subsidiaries, including the issuer, to generate cash in the future. The future financial performance of parent and its subsidiaries will be affected by a range of economic, financial, competitive, business and other factors that they cannot control, such as general economic and financial conditions in their industry, the economy generally or other risks summarized here. A significant reduction in operating cash flows could increase the need for additional or alternative sources of liquidity and could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and the ability to service the debt and other obligations of parent and the issuer, including the notes. If parent or the issuer is unable to service their debt or to fund their other liquidity needs, we may be forced to adopt an alternative strategy that may include actions such as reducing or delaying capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing our indebtedness, seeking additional capital, or any combination of the foregoing. If parent or the issuer raises additional debt, it would increase interest expense, leverage and operating and financial costs. Neither parent nor the issuer can assure you that any of these alternative strategies could be effected on satisfactory terms, if at all, or that they would yield sufficient funds to make required payments on the notes and other indebtedness of parent and the issuer or to fund their other liquidity needs. Reducing or delaying capital expenditures or selling assets could delay future cash flows. In addition, the terms of existing or future debt agreements, including the indenture governing the notes, may restrict us from adopting any of these alternatives.

The failure to generate sufficient cash flow or to achieve any of these alternatives could significantly adversely affect the value of the notes and the ability of parent and the issuer to pay amounts due under the notes. If for any reason parent or the issuer is unable to meet their debt service and repayment obligations, including under the notes, parent or the issuer, as applicable, would be in default under the terms of the agreements governing their indebtedness, which would allow creditors at that time to declare all outstanding indebtedness to be due and payable. This would likely in turn trigger cross-acceleration or cross-default rights under their applicable debt agreements. Under these circumstances, lenders could compel parent or the issuer, as applicable, to apply all of their available cash to repay borrowings or they could prevent parent or the issuer from making payments on the notes. In addition, these lenders could then seek to foreclose on the assets of parent or the issuer to the extent such assets are collateral for the borrowings. If the amounts outstanding under existing and future debt agreements of parent or the issuer, including the notes, were to be accelerated, or were the subject of foreclosure actions, neither parent nor the issuer can assure you that their assets would be sufficient to repay in full the money owed to the lenders or to their other debt holders, including you as a noteholder.

15

The parent and the issuer are holding companies and are dependent upon cash flow from subsidiaries to meet their obligations.

The parent and the issuer currently conduct their operations through, most of their assets are owned by, and their operating income and cash flow are generated by, their subsidiaries. As a result, cash from their subsidiaries is the principal source of funds necessary to meet their obligations under the notes and any future debt service obligations. Contractual provisions or laws, as well as their subsidiaries’ financial condition and operating requirements, may limit their ability to obtain cash from subsidiaries that they require to meet their debt service obligations, including payments on the notes. Applicable tax laws may also subject such payments to them by their subsidiaries to further taxation.

The inability to transfer cash from their subsidiaries may mean that, even though they may have sufficient resources on a consolidated basis to meet their obligations they may not be permitted to make the necessary transfers from their subsidiaries to meet such obligations.

The indenture governing the notes imposes significant operating and financial restrictions on parent and the issuer that may prevent parent and the issuer from capitalizing on business opportunities and restrict their ability to take some actions.

The indenture governing the notes contains covenants that restrict the ability of parent and the issuer to take various actions, such as:

• paying dividends, redeeming subordinated indebtedness or making other restricted payments;

• incurring or guaranteeing additional indebtedness or, with respect to restricted subsidiaries or any other subsidiary guarantor, issuing preferred stock;

• creating or incurring liens;

• incurring dividend or other payment restrictions affecting restricted subsidiaries;

• consummating a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all their assets;

• entering into transactions with affiliates;

• transferring or selling assets;

• engaging in business other than our current business and reasonably related extensions thereof;

• issuing capital stock of certain subsidiaries; and

• taking or omitting to take any actions that would adversely affect or impair in any material respect the collateral securing our indebtedness.

The parent and the issuer may also be prevented from taking advantage of business opportunities that arise because of failure to meet certain ratios or because of the limitations imposed on them by the restrictive covenants under the indenture governing the notes. In addition, the restrictions contained in the indenture governing the notes may also limit the ability of parent and the issuer to plan for or react to market conditions, meet capital needs or otherwise restrict their activities or business plans and adversely affect their ability to finance their operations, enter into acquisitions, execute their business strategy, effectively compete with companies that are not similarly restricted or engage in other business activities that would be in the interest of parent and the issuer. In the future, parent and the issuer may also incur debt obligations that might subject them to additional and different restrictive covenants that could affect their financial and operational flexibility. The parent and the issuer cannot assure you that they will be granted waivers or amendments to these agreements if for any reason they are unable to comply with these agreements, or that they will be able to refinance their debt on acceptable terms or at all.

The ability of parent and the issuer to comply with these covenants will likely be affected by events beyond their control, and neither parent nor the issuer can assure you that they will satisfy those requirements. A breach of any

16

of these provisions could result in a default under the existing and future debt agreements of parent or the issuer, including the indenture governing the notes, which could allow all amounts outstanding thereunder to be declared immediately due and payable. This would likely in turn trigger cross-acceleration and cross-default rights under the indenture governing the notes and the terms of our other indebtedness outstanding at such time. If the amounts outstanding under the notes or any other indebtedness outstanding at such time, were to be accelerated or were the subject of foreclosure actions, neither parent nor the issuer can assure you that their assets would be sufficient to repay in full the money owed to the lenders or to other debt holders, particularly because some of the assets of parent will be excluded from the collateral securing the notes.

The issuer may not be able to repurchase the notes with cash upon a change of control or in connection with an offer to repurchase the notes as a result of an asset sale or an excess cash flow offer as required by the indenture.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the notes), the issuer will be required to offer to repurchase all of the outstanding notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, up to, but not including the date of repurchase. In addition, in connection with certain asset sales and excess cash flow offers, we will be required to offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, in the case of an asset sale offer, or 101% of the principal amount in the case of an excess cash flow offer, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, up to, but not including the date of repurchase. The issuer may not have sufficient funds available to repurchase all of the notes tendered pursuant to any such offer and any other debt that would become payable upon a change of control or in connection with such an asset sale offer or excess cash flow offer. Any of the future debt agreements of parent or the issuer may also limit their ability to repurchase the notes until all such debt is paid in full. If the issuer fails to purchase the notes, it would be a default under the indenture, which would in turn likely trigger a default under our existing and any future debt agreements. In addition, the occurrence of a change of control may also constitute an event of default under our existing and any future debt agreements. In that event, parent or the issuer would need to cure or refinance the applicable debt agreements before making an offer to purchase. Moreover, the issuer and parent anticipate that any future credit facility may restrict, and any future indebtedness they incur may restrict, the ability of the issuer to repurchase the notes, including following a change of control. The issuer and parent may be unable to repay all of that indebtedness or obtain a waiver of that type. Any requirement to offer to repurchase outstanding notes may therefore require the issuer and parent to refinance other outstanding debt, which may not be able to be done on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. These repurchase requirements may also delay or make it more difficult for others to obtain control of the issuer and parent.

Certain important corporate events, such as takeovers, recapitalizations, restructurings, mergers or similar transactions, may not constitute a change of control under the indenture governing the notes and thus would not permit the holders of the notes to require the issuer to repurchase the notes. In addition, the definition of change of control includes a phrase relating to the sale or other transfer of “all or substantially all” of the properties or assets of parent, the issuer and the restricted subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or issuer and the restricted subsidiaries, taken as a whole. There is no precise definition of this phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty in ascertaining whether a particular transaction would involve a disposition of “all or substantially all” of the assets of parent, the issuer and the restricted subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the issuer and the restricted subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and therefore it may be unclear as to whether a change of control has occurred and whether the holders of the notes have the right to require the issuer to repurchase such notes.

Additionally, the exercise by the holders of notes of their right to require the issuer to repurchase the notes upon an asset sale or excess cash flow offer could cause a default under our existing and any future debt agreements if the issuer is then prohibited by the terms of the applicable debt agreements from making the asset sale offer or excess cash flow offer under the indenture. In the event an asset sale occurs at a time when the issuer is prohibited from purchasing notes, the issuer could seek the consent of its other applicable lenders to the purchase

17

of notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If the issuer does not obtain a consent or repay those borrowings, the issuer will remain prohibited from purchasing notes. In that case, the issuer’s failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an event of default under the indenture, which would, in turn, likely constitute a default under the other indebtedness of the issuer and parent.

Not all of parent’s subsidiaries are be restricted subsidiaries or guarantors of the notes, and parent is not be subject to all of the covenants of the indenture.

Not all of parent’s subsidiaries are restricted subsidiaries under the indenture governing the notes or guarantors of the notes, which means that these excluded parent subsidiaries are not be subject to the restrictive covenants and other provisions of the indenture and the collateral agreements. In addition, although parent has provided a guarantee of the notes, it is only subject to some covenants and other provisions of the indenture. For example, parent is not subject to the restricted payments and asset sales covenants. One consequence of this structure is that parent and these excluded parent subsidiaries may engage in transactions that increase their credit risk. For example, parent could invest in entities and/or create new excluded parent subsidiaries to construct or purchase drillships or jackup rigs, such as parent has with the Tungsten Explorer, or have such subsidiaries finance the purchase of construction of drillships or jackup rigs with debt, equity or equity linked securities. The parent may also engage in certain transactions otherwise limited by the indenture and, as a result, parent’s guarantee would not be as strong as it otherwise would be absent such transactions. In addition, in the event of a liquidation, insolvency, bankruptcy or foreclosure relating to these excluded parent subsidiaries, the holders of the notes may only have recourse to the assets of these companies by virtue of parent’s guarantee and parent’s ownership of the equity of these companies, which means the holders of the notes will be effectively or structurally subordinated to holders of debt and other senior ranking instruments of these companies. As a result, holders of notes will only be able to look to the issuer, the restricted subsidiaries and any other subsidiary guarantors, as supported by parent’s guarantee, as the credit structure supporting the notes.

There may not be sufficient collateral to pay all or any portion of the notes.

The notes and the guarantees are secured by first priority liens on the Emerald Driller, the Sapphire Driller, the Topaz Driller, the Aquamarine Driller, the Platinum Explorer and the Titanium Explorer. The notes and the guarantees are also secured by certain other of the issuer’s and the guarantors’ (other than parent’s) assets, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, and by a pledge of stock of the issuer and the guarantors (other than parent).

Neither parent nor the issuer can assure you that the value of the collateral securing the notes and the guarantees would be sufficient to pay any amounts due under the notes following their acceleration. The value of the collateral at any time will depend on market and other economic conditions, including the availability of suitable buyers for the collateral. By its nature, some of the collateral may be illiquid and may have no readily ascertainable market value. The value of the assets pledged as collateral for the notes could be impaired in the future as a result of changing economic conditions, competition or other future trends. If the issuer or any guarantor enters into a credit agreement, the collateral may be shared on a pari passu basis with some of the credit facility obligations.

With respect to some of the collateral securing the notes and the guarantees, the collateral agent’s security interest and ability to foreclose will also be limited by the need to meet certain requirements, such as obtaining third party consents, paying court fees that may be based on the principal amount of the notes and making additional filings. If we are unable to obtain these consents, pay such fees or make these filings, the security interests may be invalid and the holders will not be entitled to the collateral or any recovery with respect thereto. We cannot assure you that any such required consents, fee payments or filings can be obtained on a timely basis or at all. These requirements may limit the number of potential bidders for certain collateral in any foreclosure and may delay any sale, either of which events may have an adverse effect on the sale price of the collateral. Therefore, the practical value of realizing on the collateral may, without the appropriate consents, fees and filings, be limited.

18

In the event of a foreclosure, liquidation, bankruptcy or a similar proceeding, neither the issuer nor parent can assure you that the proceeds from any sale or liquidation of the collateral will be sufficient to pay the obligations under the notes, in full or at all, after first satisfying the obligations in full under contractually senior claims or other claims that may have legal priority over the holders of the notes. If the proceeds of any sale of collateral are not sufficient to repay all amounts due on the notes, the holders of the notes (to the extent not repaid from the proceeds of the sale of the collateral) would have only an unsecured claim against the remaining assets of parent and the issuer and, in the context of a bankruptcy case by or against parent and the issuer, the holders of the notes may not be entitled to receive interest payments or reasonable fees, costs or charges due under the notes, and may be required to repay any such amounts already received by such holder.

In addition, the liens on all of the collateral that is to secure the notes may not be properly perfected. Accordingly, there may not be sufficient collateral to pay all or any of the amounts due on the notes. Any claim for the difference between the amount, if any, realized by holders of the notes from the sale of the collateral securing the notes, the guarantees and the obligations under the notes will rank equally in right of payment with all of our unsecured senior indebtedness and other obligations, including trade payables.

To the extent that third parties in the future may also enjoy first priority liens on a pari passu basis (and, subject to the possible future intercreditor agreement, may rank senior to the notes in effect in some respects), such third parties may have rights and remedies with respect to the collateral subject to such liens that, if exercised, could adversely affect the value of the collateral. The indenture governing the notes does not require that parent and the issuer maintain the current level of collateral or maintain a specific ratio of indebtedness to asset values. The indenture governing the notes allows parent and the issuer to incur debt in addition to the notes that may be secured (mainly with respect to letters of credit, hedging arrangements, capital leases, mortgage financings and purchase money indebtedness) by the same collateral that secures the notes on a pari passu basis with the notes (and, subject to the possible future intercreditor agreement, may rank senior to the notes in effect in some respects). Thus, the incurrence of this debt may have the effect of diluting your ability to recover payment in full from the then existing pool of collateral. Releases of collateral from the liens securing the notes will be permitted under some circumstances and may not require the collateral to be replaced.

The collateral is subject to casualty risks.

The parent and the issuer are obligated under the indenture and collateral agreements governing the notes to maintain adequate insurance or otherwise insure against hazards as is customarily done by companies having assets of a similar nature in the same or similar localities. There are, however, certain losses that may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable, in whole or in part. As a result, it is possible that the insurance proceeds will not compensate parent and the issuer fully for the loss of the collateral. If there is a total or partial loss of any of the pledged collateral, neither parent nor the issuer can assure you that any insurance proceeds received by them or any of the guarantors will be sufficient to satisfy all of their secured obligations, including the notes.

Rights of holders of notes in the collateral may be adversely affected by bankruptcy proceedings.

The right of the collateral agent for the notes to repossess and dispose of the collateral securing the notes and the guarantees upon acceleration is likely to be significantly impaired by federal bankruptcy law if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced by or against parent or the issuer prior to or possibly even after the collateral agent has repossessed and disposed of the collateral. Under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, a secured creditor, such as the collateral agent for the holders of the notes, is prohibited from repossessing its security from a debtor in a bankruptcy case, or from disposing of security repossessed from a debtor, without bankruptcy court approval. Moreover, bankruptcy law permits the debtor to continue to retain and to use collateral, and the proceeds, products, rents or profits of the collateral, even though the debtor is in default under the applicable debt instruments, provided that the secured creditor is given “adequate protection.” The meaning of the term “adequate protection” may vary according to circumstances, but it is intended in general to protect the value of

19

the secured creditor’s interest in the collateral and may include cash payments or the granting of additional security, if and at such time as the court in its discretion determines, for any diminution in the value of the collateral as a result of the stay of repossession or disposition or any use of the collateral by the debtor during the pendency of the bankruptcy case. In view of the broad discretionary powers of a bankruptcy court, it is impossible to predict how long payments under the notes could be delayed following commencement of a bankruptcy case, whether or when the collateral agent would repossess or dispose of the collateral, and whether or to what extent holders of the notes would be compensated for any delay in payment of loss of value of the collateral through the requirements of “adequate protection.” Furthermore, in the event the bankruptcy court determines that the value of the collateral is not sufficient to repay all amounts due on the notes, the holders of the notes would have “undersecured claims” as to the difference. U.S. federal bankruptcy laws do not permit the payment or accrual of interest, costs and attorneys’ fees for “undersecured claims” during the debtor’s bankruptcy case. Additionally, the trustee’s ability to foreclose on the collateral on your behalf may be subject to the consent of third parties, prior liens and practical problems associated with the realization of the trustee’s security interest in the collateral. Moreover, the debtor or trustee in a bankruptcy case may seek to void an alleged security interest in collateral for the benefit of the bankruptcy estate. It may successfully do so if the security interest is not properly perfected or was perfected within a specified period of time (generally 90 days) prior to the initiation of such proceeding. Under such circumstances, a creditor may hold no security interest and be treated as holding a general unsecured claim in the bankruptcy case. It is impossible to predict what recovery (if any) would be available for such an unsecured claim if the issuer or parent became a debtor in a bankruptcy case. While U.S. bankruptcy law generally invalidates provisions restricting a debtor’s ability to assume and/or assign a contract, there are exceptions to this rule which could be applicable in the event that the issuer or parent become subject to a U.S. bankruptcy proceeding.

There also can be no assurance that courts outside of the United States would recognize the U.S. bankruptcy court’s jurisdiction. Accordingly, difficulties may arise in administering a U.S. bankruptcy proceeding against the issuer or any of the guarantors with property located outside of the United States, and any orders or judgments of a bankruptcy court in the United States may not be enforceable in any foreign jurisdiction in which the issuer or any of the guarantors are organized. The rights of the trustee to enforce remedies may be significantly impaired by the restructuring or liquidation provisions of applicable jurisdictional bankruptcy laws, insolvency and other restructuring legislation if the benefit of such legislation is sought with respect to the issuer or parent. Further, the holders of the notes may receive in exchange for their claims a recovery that could be substantially less than the amounts of their claims (potentially even nothing), and any such recovery might consist of illiquid securities.

Any future pledge of collateral may be avoidable in bankruptcy.

Any future pledge of collateral in favor of the trustee or collateral agent, including pursuant to security documents delivered after the date of the indenture governing the notes, may be avoidable by the pledgor (a debtor in possession) or by its trustee in bankruptcy if certain events or circumstances exist or occur, including, among others, if:

• the pledgor is insolvent at the time of the pledge;

• the pledge permits the holder of the notes to receive a greater recovery than if the pledge had not been given; and

• a bankruptcy proceeding in respect of the pledgor is commenced within 90 days following the pledge, or, in certain circumstances, a longer period.

A financial failure by parent, the issuer or any of parent’s other subsidiaries may result in the assets of any or all of those entities becoming subject to the claims of all creditors of those entities.

A financial failure by parent, the issuer or any of parent’s other subsidiaries could affect payment of the notes if a bankruptcy court were to substantively consolidate parent, the issuer and some or all of parent’s other subsidiaries. If a bankruptcy court substantively consolidated parent, the issuer and some or all of parent’s other

20

subsidiaries, the assets of each entity would become subject to the claims of creditors of all entities. Such a ruling would expose holders of notes not only to the usual impairments arising from bankruptcy, but also to potential dilution of the amount ultimately recoverable because of the larger creditor base. Furthermore, a forced restructuring of the notes could occur through the “cramdown” provisions of the U.S. bankruptcy code. Under those provisions, the notes could be restructured over holders’ objections as to their interest rate, maturity and other general terms.

Rights of holders of notes in the collateral may be adversely affected by the failure to perfect liens on the collateral or on collateral acquired in the future.

The failure to properly perfect liens on the collateral could adversely affect the collateral agent’s ability to enforce its rights with respect to the collateral for the benefit of the holders of the notes. In addition, applicable law requires that certain property and rights acquired after the grant of a general security interest or lien can only be perfected at the time such property and rights are acquired and identified. There can be no assurance that the trustee or the collateral agent will monitor, or that the issuer or parent will inform the trustee or the collateral agent of, the future acquisition of property and rights that constitute collateral, and that the necessary action will be taken to properly perfect the security interest in such after-acquired collateral. The trustee and the collateral agent for the notes have no obligation to monitor the acquisition of additional property or rights that constitute collateral or the perfection of any security interests therein. Such failure may result in the loss of the practical benefits of the liens thereon or of the priority of the liens securing the notes against third parties.

If the issuer, parent or any future guarantors were to become subject to a bankruptcy proceeding after the issue date of the notes, any liens recorded or perfected after the issue date of the notes would face a greater risk of being invalidated than if they had been recorded or perfected on the issue date. If a lien is recorded or perfected after the issue date, it may be treated under bankruptcy law as if it were delivered to secure previously existing debt. In bankruptcy proceedings commenced within 90 days of lien perfection, a lien given to secure previously existing debt is materially more likely to be avoided as a preference by the bankruptcy court than if delivered and promptly recorded on the issue date of the notes. Accordingly, if the issuer, parent or any future guarantors were to file for bankruptcy after the issue date of the notes and the liens had been perfected less than 90 days before commencement of such bankruptcy proceeding, the liens securing the notes may be especially subject to challenge as a result of having been delivered after the issue date of the notes. To the extent that such challenge succeeded, you would lose the benefit of the security that the collateral was intended to provide.

In addition, the Panamanian recording procedure that governs the part of the collateral that constitute Panamanian ship mortgages provides for a provisional registration of the Panamanian ship mortgages with the Panamanian ship registry valid for a six-month period. Prior to the end of that six-month period, the Panamanian ship mortgages must be translated into Spanish and protocolized by a Panamanian notary in order to be permanently registered with the Panamanian ship registry with a priority relation-back date to the date of the provisional registration. We are responsible for the permanent registration of the Panamanian ship mortgages in Panama, and if we fail to complete that permanent registration within the six-month period, the security constituted by the Panamanian ship mortgages will lapse and will no longer be valid or enforceable.

There are circumstances other than repayment or discharge of the notes under which the collateral securing the notes and guarantees will be released automatically, without holders’ consent or the consent of the trustee under the indenture governing the notes.

Under various circumstances, some of the collateral securing the notes will be released automatically, including:

• a sale, transfer or other disposal of such collateral in a transaction not prohibited under the indenture governing the notes;

• with respect to a contract unwind trigger (as such term is defined in the indenture governing the notes);

• with respect to the collateral held by a guarantor, upon the release of such guarantor from its guarantee;

21

• to the extent required in accordance with any intercreditor agreement; and

• to the extent we have defeased or satisfied and discharged the indenture governing the notes.

In addition, a guarantee will be automatically released in connection with a sale of such guarantor or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of that guarantor, in each case, in a transaction not prohibited under the indenture governing the notes. The indenture governing the notes also permits the board of directors of parent to designate one or more of our restricted subsidiaries that is a guarantor of the notes as an unrestricted subsidiary. If the board of directors of parent designates a subsidiary guarantor as an unrestricted subsidiary, all of the liens on any collateral owned by such subsidiary or any of its subsidiaries and any guarantees of the notes by such subsidiary or any of its subsidiaries will be released under the indenture governing the notes. Designations of any unrestricted subsidiary will reduce the aggregate value of the collateral securing the notes to the extent that liens on the assets of the unrestricted subsidiary and its subsidiaries are released. In addition, the creditors of the unrestricted subsidiary and its subsidiaries will have claims to the assets of the unrestricted subsidiary and its subsidiaries that are senior to any claims of the holders of notes.

Foreclosing on the collateral located outside the United States may be difficult due to the laws of certain jurisdictions.

Most or all of the collateral securing the notes is located outside of the United States. If the issuer defaults under the indenture or if a guarantor defaults under its guarantee, the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the notes may direct the trustee to instruct the collateral agent to bring a foreclosure action against the defaulting party. We cannot assure you that the collateral or the guarantors will be located in a jurisdiction having effective or favorable foreclosure procedures and lien priorities. Any foreclosure proceedings could be subject to lengthy delays resulting in increased custodial costs, deterioration in the condition of the collateral and substantial reduction of the value of such collateral. In addition, some jurisdictions may not provide a legal remedy for the enforcement of mortgages on the collateral.

Our vessels that are part of the collateral will be operated by us worldwide, as our business demands. Consequently, the respective laws of each jurisdiction where a vessel is actually located at the time the noteholder collateral agent may seek to enforce the ship mortgage will govern the foreclosure proceedings and distribution of proceeds. Such laws may vary significantly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Furthermore, all or some of those laws and procedures may be less favorable to mortgagees than those in other jurisdictions and may be less favorable than those applicable in the United States. The costs of enforcement in foreign jurisdictions, particularly if proceedings are ongoing simultaneously against vessels in different jurisdictions, can be high and can include fees based on the face amount of the mortgage(s) being enforced. Foreign court proceedings can also be slow and have unexpected procedural hurdles. Priorities accorded maritime lien claims and ship mortgages can vary in foreign jurisdictions, and some jurisdictions prefer certain local claimants (such as local suppliers of operating necessaries) to foreign claimants, such as the noteholder agent or mortgagee.

Consequently there are no assurances that the noteholder collateral agent will be able to enforce any one or more of the ship mortgages covering vessels that are located outside the United States.

U.S. federal, state and foreign fraudulent transfer laws may permit a court to void the notes and the guarantees, subordinate claims in respect of the notes and the guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received. If this occurs, noteholders may not receive any payments on the notes.

U.S. federal, state and foreign fraudulent transfer and conveyance statutes may apply to the issuance of the notes and the incurrence of any guarantees. Under U.S. federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer or conveyance laws, which may vary from state to state and be different from other applicable foreign jurisdictions, the notes or guarantees could be voided as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance if (1) the issuer or any of the guarantors, as applicable, issued the notes or incurred the guarantees with the intent of

22

hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors or (2) the issuer or any of the guarantors, as applicable, received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration in return for either issuing the notes or incurring the guarantees and, in the case of (2) only, one of the following is also true at the time thereof:

• the issuer or any of the guarantors, as applicable, were insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of the issuance of the notes or the incurrence of the guarantees;

• the issuance of the notes or the incurrence of the guarantees left the issuer or any of the guarantors, as applicable, with an unreasonably small amount of capital to carry on the business;

• the issuer or any of the guarantors intended to, or believed that the issuer or such guarantor would, incur debts beyond the issuer’s or such guarantor’s ability to pay such debts as they mature; or

• the issuer or any of the guarantors was a defendant in an action for money damages, or had a judgment for money damages docketed against the issuer or such guarantor if, in either case, after final judgment, the judgment is unsatisfied.

A court would likely find that the issuer or a guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the notes or such guarantee if the issuer or such guarantor did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the issuance of the notes or the applicable guarantee. As a general matter, value is given for a transfer or an obligation if, in exchange for the transfer or obligation, property is transferred or an antecedent debt is secured or satisfied. A debtor will generally not be considered to have received value in connection with a debt offering if the debtor uses the proceeds of that offering to make a dividend payment or otherwise retire or redeem equity securities issued by the debtor.

The issuer cannot be certain as to the standards a court would use to determine whether or not it or the guarantors were solvent at the relevant time or, regardless of the standard that a court uses, that the issuance of the guarantees would not be further subordinated to the other debt of the issuer or of the guarantors. Generally, however, an entity would be considered insolvent if, at the time it incurred indebtedness:

• the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all its assets;

• the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

• it could not pay its debts as they become due.

If a court were to find that the issuance of the notes or the incurrence of the guarantee was a fraudulent transfer or conveyance, the court could void the payment obligations under the notes or such guarantee or further subordinate the notes or such guarantee to presently existing and future indebtedness of the issuer or of the related guarantor, or require the holders of the notes to repay any amounts received with respect to such guarantee. In the event of a finding that a fraudulent transfer or conveyance occurred, noteholders may not receive any repayment on the notes. Further, the voidance of the notes could result in an event of default with respect to other debt of parent and its subsidiaries that could result in acceleration of such debt.

Although each guarantee entered into by a guarantor contains a provision intended to limit that guarantor’s liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer, this provision may not be effective to protect those guarantees from being voided under fraudulent transfer law, or may reduce that guarantor’s obligation to an amount that effectively makes its guarantee worthless.

In addition, different or additional fraudulent conveyance laws may exist in foreign jurisdictions which could result in the liens being avoided.

23

If the guarantees by the subsidiary guarantors are not enforceable, the notes would be effectively subordinated to all liabilities of the subsidiary guarantors, including trade payables.

The notes currently have no established trading market, and an active trading market may not develop for the notes, which could affect the liquidity and value of the notes and you may not be able to sell the notes readily, or at all, or at or above the price that you paid.

The notes have no established trading market. The issuer has not applied, and does not intend to apply, for the notes to be listed on any securities exchange or to arrange for quotation on any automated dealer quotation system. The initial purchasers have advised parent and the issuer that they intend to make a market in the notes, but are not obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making in the notes at any time, in their sole discretion. Even with this prospectus, parent and the issuer cannot assure you that an active trading market will develop for the notes, or if one does develop, that it will be liquid. If the notes are traded, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending on prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, parent’s and the issuer’s credit ratings, parent’s and the issuer’s operating performance and financial condition and other factors. If an active trading market does not develop, the market price and liquidity of the notes may be adversely affected. As a result, parent and the issuer cannot ensure you that you will be able to sell any of the notes at a particular time, at attractive prices, or at all. Thus, you may be required to bear the financial risk of your investment in the notes indefinitely.

If a trading market were to develop, future trading prices of the notes may be volatile and will depend on many factors, including:

• the operating performance and financial condition or prospects of parent and the issuer;

• the prospects for companies in the industry of parent and the issuer generally;

• the number of holders of the notes;

• prevailing interest rates;

• the interest of securities dealers in making a market for them;

• the market for similar securities and the overall securities market; and

• the ability of the issuer to complete the offer to exchange the notes.

In addition, the market for non-investment grade debt has historically been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of securities similar to the notes. Any such disruptions could adversely affect the prices at which you may sell your notes. In addition, subsequent to their initial issuance, the notes may trade at a discount from the initial offering price depending on the prevailing interest rates, the market for similar notes, our performance and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. As a result, we cannot ensure you that you will be able to sell any of the notes at a particular time, at attractive prices, or at all. Thus, you may be required to bear the financial risk of your investment in the notes indefinitely.

The trading prices for the notes and the availability, costs and terms and conditions of our debt will be directly affected by our credit rating.

The notes are, and any of our future debt instruments may be, publicly rated by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, or S&P, and other independent rating agencies. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. These public debt ratings may affect our ability to raise debt. Any future downgrading of the notes or our debt by Moody’s and S&P or another rating agency may affect the cost and terms and conditions of our financings and could adversely affect the value and trading price of the notes.

Credit rating agencies continually revise their ratings for companies that they follow, including us. Any ratings downgrade could adversely affect the trading price of the notes or the trading market for the notes to the extent a

24

trading market for the notes or the exchange notes, if they are issued develops. The condition of the financial and credit markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future.

The issuer, parent and any current or future guarantors could incur additional secured indebtedness in the future on a pari passu basis with the notes.

The indenture governing the notes permits the issuer, parent and any current or future guarantors of the notes to incur additional indebtedness secured by a lien on the collateral that secures the notes, including letters of credit and hedging arrangements. If the issuer, parent or any of their current or future restricted subsidiaries incur in the future any additional indebtedness that is secured on a pari passu basis with the notes, the holders of that debt and the counterparties to hedging arrangements will be entitled to share ratably with the holders of the notes in any proceeds of such shared collateral distributed in connection with any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up of the issuer and the parent, subject to the terms of the possible future intercreditor agreement which provides that holders of letters of credit may rank senior to the notes in effect in some respects.

Foreclosing on collateral that is easily transported may be difficult.

The Emerald Driller, the Sapphire Driller, the Topaz Driller, the Aquamarine Driller, the Platinum Explorer, and the Titanium Explorer are highly mobile and are or may be located in international waters outside the jurisdiction of any court. This may make it difficult for the collateral agent to bring a successful foreclosure action against such collateral because it may be difficult for the collateral agent or officials of the applicable government or agency to physically seize such collateral and engage in a foreclosure sale.

Maritime liens may arise and take priority over the liens securing the notes.

The laws of various jurisdictions in which the Emerald Driller, the Sapphire Driller, the Topaz Driller, the Aquamarine Driller, the Platinum Explorer, and the Titanium Explorer may operate may give rise to the existence of maritime liens which may take priority over the ship mortgages and other liens securing the notes and the guarantees. Such liens may arise in support of, among other things, claims by unpaid ship repairers remaining in possession of such collateral, claims for salvage, claims for damage caused by a collision, claims for seamen’s wages and other employment benefits and claims for pilotage, as well as potentially claims for necessary goods and services supplied to such collateral. This list should not be regarded as definitive or exhaustive, as the categories of claims giving rise to maritime liens, and the ranking of such liens, vary from one jurisdiction to another. Maritime liens can attach without any court action, notice, registration or documentation and accordingly their existence cannot necessarily be identified.

Because the issuer and parent are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited.

Both the issuer and parent are exempted companies incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and substantially all of their assets are located outside the United States. In addition, most of parent’s and the issuer’s directors and executive officers are nationals or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and all or a substantial portion of their assets may be located outside the United States. Further, enforcement of the note guarantees issued and the collateral pledged may be subject to certain limitations under Cayman Islands law. As a result, it may be difficult for holders of notes to effect service of process within the United States upon parent’s directors or executive officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the U.S. courts against parent’s directors or executive officers.

The corporate affairs of parent and the issuer are governed by their memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Law (2011 Revision) (as the same may be supplemented or amended from time to time) of the

25

Cayman Islands, and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of holders of the notes to take action against directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of directors under Cayman Islands law are, to a large extent, governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws thus providing significantly less protection to investors as compared to the United States, and some states, such as Delaware, which have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.

The Cayman Islands courts are also unlikely:

• to recognize or enforce against parent and the issuer judgments of courts of the United States based on certain civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws; and

• to impose liabilities against parent and the issuer, in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, based on certain civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.

Additionally, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States. There is no statutory recognition in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the Cayman Islands will in certain circumstances recognize and enforce a non-penal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without re-examination of the merits at common law, provided such judgment:

• is final and conclusive;

• is one in respect of which the federal court of the United States had jurisdiction over the defendant according to Cayman Islands conflict of law rules;

• is either for a liquidated sum not in respect of penalties or taxes or a fine or similar fiscal or revenue obligations or, in certain circumstances, for in personam non-monetary relief; and

• was neither obtained in a manner, nor is of a kind enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.

The Grand Court of the Cayman Islands may stay proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

Because the issuer does not have any independent officers, it will rely upon officers and affiliates of parent to identify and evaluate its prospective drilling contracts.

The issuer does not have any employees and will rely entirely on parent’s employees to manage its business and operate its assets. The parent and its affiliates are not obligated to present issuer with potential drilling contracts and are not restricted from competing with the issuer for potential contracts or other future assets not securing the notes. Because parent controls the issuer and all of the other guarantors, the issuer will not be able to pursue or enter into any contract unless parent causes it to do so.

Risks Related to our Business and Industry

Our business is difficult to evaluate due to our limited operating history and our prospects will be dependent on our ability to meet a number of challenges.

Because we have a limited operating history, you may not be able to evaluate our future prospects accurately. Our prospects will be primarily dependent on our ability to maintain customer drilling contracts for our drilling units and other factors listed below. If we are not able to successfully meet these challenges, our prospects, business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.

26

A small number of customers account for a significant portion of our revenues, and the loss of one or more of these customers could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from a few customers. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, two customers accounted for approximately 41% and 13%, respectively, of our revenue. Upon commencement of the Petrobras contract for the Titanium Explorer, we expect that Petrobras will become a major customer for the current fiscal year. Our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected if any one of these customers interrupt or curtail their activities, fail to pay for the services that have been performed, terminate their contracts, fail to renew their existing contracts or refuse to award new contracts and we are unable to enter into contracts with new customers on comparable terms. The loss of any of our significant customers could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We are exposed to the credit risks of our key customers, including certain affiliated companies, and certain other third parties, and nonpayment or nonperformance by these customers and other parties could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

We are subject to risks of loss resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our customers, including certain companies owned by or associated with our affiliates. Under the construction supervision contract for the Cobalt Explorer, a drillship for which construction was suspended in June 2009, F3 Capital owes us approximately $3.0 million for services rendered in 2009 before the suspension of this contract. Any material nonpayment or nonperformance by these entities, other key customers and certain other third parties could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. If any key customers or other parties default on their obligations to us, our financial results and condition could be adversely affected. Additionally, if we are unable for whatever reason to deliver the Titanium Explorer to Petrobras or Petrobras does not accept delivery of the Titanium Explorer prior to commencement of the associated drilling contract, our financial position, results of operations and cashflows could be adversely impacted. Furthermore, some of our customers and other parties may be highly leveraged and subject to their own operating and regulatory risks.

A material or extended decline in expenditures by oil and natural gas exploration and production companies due to a decline or volatility in oil and natural gas prices, a decrease in demand for oil and natural gas, or other factors, would adversely affect our business.

Our business, including the utilization rates and dayrates we achieve for our owned and managed drilling units, depends on the level of activity in oil and natural gas exploration, development and production expenditures of our customers. Oil and natural gas prices and customers’ expectations of potential changes in these prices significantly affect this level of activity. Commodity prices are affected by numerous factors, including the following:

• changes in global economic conditions;

• the demand for oil and natural gas;

• the cost of exploring for, producing and delivering oil and natural gas;

• expectations regarding future prices;

• advances in exploration, development and production technology;

• the ability of OPEC to set and maintain production levels and pricing;

• the availability and discovery rate of new oil and natural gas reserves in offshore areas;

• the rate of decline of existing and new oil and natural gas reserves;

• the level of production in non-OPEC countries;

• domestic and international tax policies;

• the development and exploitation of alternative fuels;

27

• weather;

• blowouts and other catastrophic events;

• governmental laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations;

• the policies of various governments regarding exploration and development of their oil and natural gas reserves;

• volatility in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against other currencies; and

• the worldwide military and political environment, uncertainty or instability resulting from an escalation or additional outbreak of armed hostilities or other crises in significant oil and natural gas producing regions or further acts of terrorism.

In addition to oil and gas prices, the offshore drilling industry is influenced by additional factors, including:

• the availability of competing offshore drilling vessels;

• the level of costs for associated offshore oilfield and construction services;

• oil and gas transportation costs;

• the discovery of new oil and gas reserves;

• the cost of non-conventional hydrocarbons; and

• regulatory restrictions on offshore drilling.

Any of these factors could reduce demand for our services and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

In addition, Gulf of Mexico drilling activity has been curtailed due to regulatory restrictions following the Macondo blowout in early 2010. A prolonged decline in demand for drilling services may materially erode dayrates and utilization rates for drilling units, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and could have a significant negative impact on the market price of our securities.

Our jackup drilling contracts are generally short-term, and we could experience reduced profitability if customers reduce activity levels, terminate or seek to renegotiate drilling contracts with us, or if market conditions dictate that we enter into contracts that provide for payment based on a footage or turnkey basis, rather than on a dayrate basis.

Many jackup drilling contracts are short-term, and oil and natural gas companies tend to reduce activity levels quickly in response to downward changes in oil and natural gas prices. Due to the short-term nature of most of our jackup drilling contracts, a decline in market conditions can quickly affect our business if customers reduce their levels of operations. During depressed market conditions, a customer may no longer need a unit that is currently under contract or may be able to obtain a comparable unit at a lower dayrate. As a result, customers may seek to renegotiate the terms of their existing drilling contracts or avoid their obligations under those contracts. In addition, our customers may have the right to terminate, or may seek to renegotiate, existing contracts if we experience downtime, operational problems above the contractual limit or safety-related issues, if the drilling unit is a total loss, if the drilling unit is not delivered to the customer within the period specified in the contract or in other specified circumstances, which include events beyond the control of either party.

Some of our current jackup drilling contracts, and some drilling contracts that we may enter into in the future, may include terms allowing customers to terminate contracts without cause, with little or no prior notice and without penalty or early termination payments. In addition, we could be required to pay penalties, which could be material, if some of these contracts are terminated due to downtime, operational problems or failure to deliver. Some of the contracts with customers that we enter into in the future may be cancellable at the option of the

28

customer upon payment of a penalty, which may not fully compensate us for the loss of the contract. Early termination of a contract may result in a drilling unit being idle for an extended period of time. The likelihood that a customer may seek to terminate a contract is increased during periods of market weakness. Under most of our contracts, it is an event of default if we file a petition for bankruptcy or reorganization, which would allow the customer to terminate such contract.

Currently, our drilling contracts are dayrate contracts, where we charge a fixed rate per day regardless of the number of days needed to drill the well. While we plan to continue to perform services on a dayrate basis, market conditions may dictate that we enter into contracts that provide for payment based on a footage basis, where we are paid a fixed amount for each foot drilled regardless of the time required or the problems encountered in drilling the well, or enter into turnkey contracts, where we agree to drill a well to a specific depth for a fixed price and bear some of the well equipment costs. These types of contracts are riskier for us than a dayrate contract as we would be subject to downhole geologic conditions in the well that cannot always be accurately determined and subject us to greater risks associated with equipment and downhole tool failures. Unfavorable downhole geologic conditions and equipment and downhole tool failures may result in significant cost increases or may result in a decision to abandon a well project which would result in us not being able to invoice revenues for providing services. Any such termination or renegotiation of contracts and unfavorable costs increases or loss of revenue could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Lower prices for oil and natural gas reduces demand for our services and could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and profitability.

A slowdown in economic activity caused by the recession initially reduced worldwide demand for energy and resulted in lower oil and natural gas prices. Benchmark crude prices peaked at over $140 per barrel in July 2008 and then declined dramatically to approximately $45 per barrel at year-end 2008. During 2009 and 2010, the benchmark for crude prices fluctuated between the mid $30’s per barrel and low $90’s per barrel. Since mid-2011, the benchmark for crude prices fluctuated between the mid $70’s per barrel and low $100’s per barrel. Demand for our services depends on oil and natural gas industry activity and expenditure levels that are directly affected by trends in oil and natural gas prices. In addition, demand for our services is particularly sensitive to the level of exploration, development and production activity of, and the corresponding capital spending by, oil and natural gas companies. Any prolonged reduction in oil and natural gas prices could depress the near-term levels of exploration, development, and production activity. Perceptions of longer-term lower oil and natural gas prices by oil and natural gas companies could similarly reduce or defer major expenditures given the long-term nature of many large-scale development projects. Lower levels of activity result in a corresponding decline in the demand for our services, which could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and profitability. Additionally, these factors may adversely impact our financial position if they are determined to cause an impairment of our long-lived assets.

Failure to deliver the Titanium Explorer may have a material and adverse effect on our business.

We have secured a drilling contract for the Titanium Explorer with Petrobras. However, if the Titanium Explorer is not acceptable to our customer, or if we are unable to deliver the Titanium Explorer or an acceptable replacement drillship to Petrobras by the commencement date deadline, our drilling contract may be cancelled and/or we may be required to pay damages to our customer, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects could be materially adversely affected.

29

Construction projects are subject to risks, including delays and cost overruns, which could have an adverse impact on our liquidity and results of operations.

As part of our growth strategy we may contract from time to time for the construction of drilling units or may enter into agreements to manage the construction of drilling units for others. Construction projects are subject to the risks of delay or cost overruns inherent in any large construction project, including costs or delays resulting from the following:

• unexpected long delivery times for, or shortages of, key equipment, parts and materials;

• shortages of skilled labor and other shipyard personnel necessary to perform the work;

• unforeseen increases in the cost of equipment, labor and raw materials, particularly steel;

• unforeseen design and engineering problems;

• unanticipated actual or purported change orders;

• work stoppages;

• latent damages or deterioration to hull, equipment and machinery in excess of engineering estimates and assumptions;

• failure or delay of third-party service providers and labor disputes;

• disputes with shipyards and suppliers;

• delays and unexpected costs of incorporating parts and materials needed for the completion of projects;

• financial or other difficulties at shipyards;

• adverse weather conditions; and

• inability to obtain required permits or approvals.

If we experience delays and costs overruns in the construction of drilling units due to certain of the factors listed above, it could also adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The Titanium Explorer is scheduled for commencement of drilling with Petrobras in the third quarter of 2012. Delays in the delivery of this unit to Petrobras would result in the delay in contract commencement, resulting in financial penalties and a loss of expected revenue to us, and may also cause the customer to terminate or shorten the term of the drilling contract for the unit pursuant to applicable late delivery clauses. In the event this occurs, we may not be able to secure a replacement unit that is acceptable to the customer.

Our business is affected by local, national and worldwide economic conditions and the condition of the oil and natural gas industry.

There has historically been a strong correlation between the development of the world economy and demand for energy, including oil and gas. A reduction in economic activity for the world economy could reduce the overall demand for oil and gas and for our services. Such changes could adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows beyond what might be offset by the simultaneous impact of possibly higher oil and gas prices. In addition, future economic conditions or the expectation for future economic conditions may cause many oil and natural gas production companies to reduce or delay expenditures in order to reduce costs, which in turn may cause a further reduction in the demand for drilling services.

Our industry is highly competitive, cyclical and subject to intense price competition. Due to our limited operating history, we may be at a competitive disadvantage.

The offshore contract drilling industry is highly competitive, and contracts have traditionally been awarded on a competitive bid basis. The technical capabilities, availability and pricing of a drilling unit are often the primary factors in determining which qualified contractor is awarded a job. Other key factors include a contractor’s

30

reputation for service, safety record, environmental record, technical and engineering support and long-term relationships with major, national and independent oil and natural gas companies. Our competitors in the offshore contract drilling industry generally have larger, more diverse fleets, longer operating histories with established safety and environmental records over a measurable period of time and long-term relationships with customers. This provides our competitors with competitive advantages that may adversely affect our efforts to contract our drilling units on favorable terms, if at all, and correspondingly negatively impact our financial position and results of operations. Additionally, we are at a competitive disadvantage to those competitors that are better capitalized because they are in a better position to withstand the effects of a downturn in our industry.

The offshore contract drilling industry, historically, has been very cyclical with periods of high demand, limited supply and high dayrates alternating with periods of low demand, excess supply and low dayrates. Many offshore drilling units are highly mobile. Competitors may move drilling units from region to region in response to changes in demand. It is currently estimated that 24 newly constructed jackup rigs will be entered into service between March 2012 and December 2012 and 17 deepwater rigs are scheduled for delivery through 2012. This could result in an excess supply of rigs in the markets in which we operate. Periods of low demand and excess supply intensify competition in the industry and often result in some drilling units becoming idle for long periods of time. Our limited operating history may put us at a competitive disadvantage and, as a result, our drilling units may become idle. Prolonged periods of low utilization and dayrates, or extended idle time, could result in the recognition of impairment charges on our drilling units if cash flow estimates, based upon information available to management at the time, indicate that the carrying value of the drilling units may not be recoverable.

There may be limits to our ability to mobilize drilling units between geographic markets and the time and costs of such drilling unit mobilizations may be material to our business.

The offshore contract drilling market is generally a global market as drilling units may be mobilized from one market to another market. However, geographic markets can, from time to time, have material fluctuations in costs and risks as the ability to mobilize drilling units can be impacted by several factors including, but not limited to, governmental regulation and customs practices, the significant costs to move a drilling unit, availability of tow boats, weather, political instability, civil unrest, military actions, and the technical capability of the drilling units to operate in various environments. Any increase in the supply of drilling units in the geographic areas in which we operate, whether through new construction, refurbishment or conversion of drilling units from other uses, remobilization or changes in the law or its application, could increase competition and result in lower dayrates and/or utilization, which would adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, while a drilling unit is being mobilized from one geographic market to another, we may not be paid by the customer for the time that the drilling unit is out of service. Also, we may mobilize the drilling unit to another geographic market without a customer contract which will result in costs not reimbursable by future customers.

Our business involves numerous operating hazards, and our insurance and contractual indemnity rights may not be adequate to cover our losses.

Our operations are subject to the usual hazards inherent in the drilling and operation of oil and natural gas wells, such as blowouts, reservoir damage, loss of production, loss of well control, punchthroughs, craterings, fires and pollution. The occurrence of these events (such as events similar to the 2010 incident in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico involving the Macondo well) could result in the suspension of drilling or production operations, claims by the operator and others affected by such events, severe damage to, or destruction of, the property and equipment involved, injury or death to drilling unit personnel, environmental damage and increased insurance costs. We may also be subject to personal injury and other claims of drilling unit personnel as a result of our drilling operations. Operations also may be suspended because of machinery breakdowns, abnormal operating conditions, failure of subcontractors to perform or supply goods or services and personnel shortages.

In addition, our operations will be subject to perils peculiar to marine operations, including capsizing, grounding, collision and loss or damage from severe weather. Severe weather could have a material adverse effect on our

31

operations. Our drilling units could be damaged by high winds, turbulent seas, or unstable sea bottom conditions, which could potentially cause us to curtail operations for significant periods of time until such damages are repaired.

Damage to the environment could result from our operations, particularly through oil spillage or extensive uncontrolled fires. We may also be subject to property, environmental, natural resource and other damage claims by host governments, oil and natural gas companies and other businesses operating offshore and in coastal areas, as well as claims by individuals living in or around coastal areas.

As is customary in our industry, the risks of our operations are partially covered by our insurance and partially by contractual indemnities from our customers. However, insurance policies and contractual rights to indemnity may not adequately cover losses, and we may not have insurance coverage or rights to indemnity for all risks. Moreover, pollution and environmental risks generally are not fully insurable. If a significant accident or other event resulting in damage to our drilling units, including severe weather, terrorist acts, war, civil disturbances, pollution or environmental damage, occurs and is not fully covered by insurance or a recoverable indemnity from a customer, it could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our offshore drilling operations could be adversely impacted by the Macondo well incident and the resulting changes in regulation of offshore oil and gas exploration and development activity.

Offshore drilling operations in the United States and elsewhere could be adversely impacted by the Macondo well incident in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and the resulting changes in regulation of offshore oil and gas exploration and development activities. After the Macondo well incident, the U.S. Department of the Interior implemented a six-month moratorium/suspension on certain drilling activities in water depths greater than 500 feet in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. While the moratorium has since been lifted, new requirements with respect to development and production activities in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico have been imposed and the approval of applications to drill in both deepwater and shallow-water areas have been delayed until it is confirmed that those requirements have been met. These new requirements relate to the design of wells and testing of the integrity of wellbores, the use of drilling fluids, the functionality and testing of well control equipment, including blowout preventers, and other safety regulations.

Currently we do not have operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. However, the Titanium Explorer is currently scheduled to commence drilling operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico in 2012 pursuant to a drilling contract with Petrobras.

At this time, we cannot predict the full impact of the Macondo well incident and resulting changes in the regulation of offshore oil and gas exploration and development activity on our operations or contracts or what actions may be taken by our customers, other industry participants or the U.S. or other governments in response to the incident. Further legislative or regulatory enactments may impose new requirements for well control and blowout prevention equipment that could increase our costs and cause delays in our operations due to unavailability of associated equipment.

Customers may be unable or unwilling to indemnify us.

Consistent with standard industry practice, our customers generally assume liability for and indemnify us against well control and subsurface risks under our dayrate contracts, and we do not separately purchase insurance for such indemnified risks. These risks are those associated with the loss of control of a well, such as blowout or cratering (for example, the recent incident in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico involving the Macondo well), the cost to regain control or redrill the well and associated pollution. In the future, we may not be able to obtain agreements from customers to indemnify us for such damages and risks or the indemnities that we do obtain may be limited in scope and duration, including with respect to indemnification for punitive damages, which may not be enforceable. Additionally, even if our customers agree to indemnify us, there can be no assurance that they will necessarily be financially able to indemnify us against all of these risks.

32

Our insurance coverage may not be adequate if a catastrophic event occurs.

As a result of the number and significance of catastrophic events in the offshore drilling industry in recent years, such as hurricanes and spills in the Gulf of Mexico, insurance underwriters have increased insurance premiums and increased restrictions on coverage and have made other coverages, such as Gulf of Mexico windstorm coverage, unavailable.

While we believe we have reasonable policy limits of property, casualty, liability, and business interruption insurance, including coverage for acts of terrorism, with financially sound insurers, we cannot guarantee that our policy limits for property, casualty, liability, and business interruption insurance, including coverage for severe weather, terrorist acts, war, civil disturbances, pollution or environmental damage, would be adequate should a catastrophic event occur related to our property, plant or equipment, or that our insurers would have adequate financial resources to sufficiently or fully pay related claims or damages. When any of our coverage expires, or when we seek coverage in the future, we cannot guarantee that adequate coverage will be available, offered at reasonable prices, or offered by insurers with sufficient financial soundness. The occurrence of an incident or incidents affecting any one or more of our drilling units could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and future results of operations if asset damage and/or our liability were to exceed insurance coverage limits or if an insurer was unable to sufficiently or fully pay related claims or damages.

Our international operations are subject to additional political, economic and other uncertainties not generally associated with domestic operations.

A primary component of our business strategy is to operate in international oil and natural gas producing areas. Our international operations are subject to a number of risks inherent in any business operating in foreign countries, including:

• political, social and economic instability, war and acts of terrorism;

• government corruption;

• potential seizure, expropriation or nationalization of assets;

• damage to our equipment or violence directed at our employees, including kidnappings;

• piracy;

• increased operating costs;

• complications associated with repairing and replacing equipment in remote locations;

• repudiation, modification or renegotiation of contracts;

• limitations on insurance coverage, such as war risk coverage in certain areas;

• import-export quotas;

• confiscatory taxation;

• work stoppages;

• unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

• wage and price controls;

• imposition of trade barriers;

• imposition or changes in enforcement of local content laws;

• restrictions on currency or capital repatriations;

• currency fluctuations and devaluations; and

• other forms of government regulation and economic conditions that are beyond our control.

33

Our financial condition and results of operations could be susceptible to adverse events beyond our control that may occur in the particular country or region in which we are active. Additionally, we may experience currency exchange losses where, at some future date, revenues are received and expenses are paid in nonconvertible currencies or where we do not hedge exposure to a foreign currency. We may also incur losses as a result of an inability to collect revenues because of a shortage of convertible currency available in the country of operation, controls over currency exchange or controls over the repatriation of income or capital.

Many governments favor or effectively require that drilling contracts be awarded to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. These practices may result in inefficiencies or put us at a disadvantage when bidding for contracts against local competitors.

Our offshore contract drilling operations are subject to various laws and regulations in countries in which we operate, including laws and regulations relating to the equipment and operation of drilling units, currency conversions and repatriation, oil and natural gas exploration and development, taxation of offshore earnings and earnings of expatriate personnel, the use of local employees and suppliers by foreign contractors and duties on the importation and exportation of drilling units and other equipment. Governments in some foreign countries have become increasingly active in regulating and controlling the ownership of concessions and companies holding concessions, the exploration for oil and natural gas and other aspects of the oil and natural gas industries in their countries. In some areas of the world, this governmental activity has adversely affected the amount of exploration and development work done by major oil and natural gas companies and may continue to do so. Operations in less developed countries can be subject to legal systems which are not as mature or predictable as those in more developed countries, which can lead to greater uncertainty in legal matters and proceedings.

Our business is subject to numerous governmental laws and regulations, including those that may impose significant costs and liability on us for environmental and natural resource damages.

Many aspects of our operations are affected by governmental laws and regulations that may relate directly or indirectly to the contract drilling industry, including those requiring us to control the discharge of oil and other contaminants into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of natural resources. Countries where we currently operate have environmental laws and regulations covering the discharge of oil and other contaminants and protection of the environment in connection with operations. Additionally, any operations and activities in the United States and its territorial waters will be subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations, including the Clean Water Act, the OPA, the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, the Clean Air Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and MARPOL. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of remedial obligations, the denial or revocation of permits or other authorizations and the issuance of injunctions that may limit or prohibit our operations.

Laws and regulations protecting the environment have become more stringent in recent years and may in certain circumstances impose strict liability, rendering us liable for environmental and natural resource damages without regard to negligence or fault on our part. These laws and regulations may expose us to liability for the conduct of, or conditions caused by, others or for acts that were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time the acts were performed. The application of these requirements, the modification of existing laws or regulations or the adoption of new laws or regulations curtailing exploratory or development drilling for oil and natural gas could materially limit future contract drilling opportunities or materially increase our costs. In addition, we may be required to make significant capital expenditures to comply with laws and regulations. Furthermore, some financial institutions are imposing, as a condition to financing, requirements to comply with additional non-governmental environmental and social standards in connection with operations outside the United States, such as the Equator Principles, a credit risk management framework for determining, assessing and managing environmental and social risk in project finance transactions. Such additional standards could impose significant new costs on us, which may materially and adversely affect us.

34

Changes in U.S. federal laws and regulations, or in those of other jurisdictions where we operate, including those that may impose significant costs and liability on us for environmental and natural resource damages, may adversely affect our operations.

If the U.S. government amends or enacts new federal laws or regulations, our potential exposure to liability for operations and activities in the United States and its territorial waters may increase. Although the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 provides federal caps on liability for pollution or contamination, future laws and regulations may increase our liability for pollution or contamination resulting from any operations and activities we may have in the United States and its territorial waters including punitive damages and administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Although we currently have no operations in the United States, we are contracted to operate the Titanium Explorer in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. In addition, other jurisdictions where we operate may also modify their laws and regulations in a manner that would increase our liability for pollution and other environmental damage.

New technology and/or products may cause us to become less competitive.

The offshore contract drilling industry is subject to the introduction of new drilling techniques and services using new technologies, some of which may be subject to patent protection. As competitors and others use or develop new technologies, we may be placed at a competitive disadvantage. Further, we may face competitive pressure to implement or acquire certain new technologies at a substantial cost. Some of our competitors have greater financial, technical and personnel resources that may allow them to access technological advantages and implement new technologies before we can. We cannot be certain that we will be able to implement new technology or products on a timely basis or at an acceptable cost. Thus, our inability to effectively use and implement new and emerging technology may have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our financial condition may be adversely affected if we are unable to identify and complete future acquisitions, fail to successfully integrate acquired assets or businesses we acquire, or are unable to obtain financing for acquisitions on acceptable terms.

The acquisition of assets or businesses that we believe to be complementary to our drilling operations is an important component of our business strategy. We believe that acquisition opportunities may arise from time to time, and that any such acquisition could be significant. At any given time, discussions with one or more potential sellers may be at different stages. However, any such discussions may not result in the consummation of an acquisition transaction, and we may not be able to identify or complete any acquisitions. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that any announcement or consummation of an acquisition would have on the trading price of our securities. Our business is capital intensive and any such transactions could involve the payment by us of a substantial amount of cash. We may need to raise additional capital through public or private debt or equity financings to execute our growth strategy and to fund acquisitions. Adequate sources of capital may not be available when needed on favorable terms. If we raise additional capital by issuing additional equity securities, existing shareholders may be diluted. If our capital resources are insufficient at any time in the future, we may be unable to fund acquisitions, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could harm our business.

Any future acquisitions could present a number of risks, including:

• the risk of using management time and resources to pursue acquisitions that are not successfully completed;

• the risk of incorrect assumptions regarding the future results of acquired operations;

• the risk of failing to integrate the operations or management of any acquired operations or assets successfully and timely; and

• the risk of diversion of management’s attention from existing operations or other priorities.

35

If we are unsuccessful in completing acquisitions of other operations or assets, our financial condition could be adversely affected and we may be unable to implement an important component of our business strategy successfully. In addition, if we are unsuccessful in integrating our acquisitions in a timely and cost-effective manner, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Operating and maintenance costs will not necessarily fluctuate in proportion to changes in operating revenues.

We do not expect operating and maintenance costs to necessarily fluctuate in proportion to changes in operating revenues. Operating revenues may fluctuate as a function of changes in dayrates. However, costs for operating a drilling unit are generally fixed or only semi-variable regardless of the dayrate being earned. In addition, should the drilling units incur idle time between contracts, we would typically maintain the crew to prepare the drilling unit for its next contract and would not reduce costs to correspond to the decrease in revenue. During times of moderate activity, reductions in costs may not be immediate as the crew may be required to prepare the drilling units for stacking, after which time the crew will be reduced to a level necessary to maintain the drilling unit in working condition with the extra crew members assigned to active drilling units or dismissed. In addition, as drilling units are mobilized from one geographic location to another, the labor and other operating and maintenance costs can vary significantly. Equipment maintenance expenses fluctuate depending upon the type of activity the drilling unit is performing and the age and condition of the equipment. Contract preparation expenses vary based on the scope and length of contract preparation required and the duration of the firm contractual period over which such expenditures are amortized.

The loss of some of our key executive officers and employees could negatively impact our business prospects.

Our future operational performance depends to a significant degree upon the continued service of key members of our management as well as marketing, sales and operations personnel. The loss of one or more of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business. We believe our future success will also depend in large part upon our ability to attract, retain and further motivate highly skilled management, marketing, sales and operations personnel. We may experience intense competition for personnel, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to retain key employees or that we will be successful in attracting, assimilating and retaining personnel in the future.

Failure to employ a sufficient number of skilled workers or an increase in labor costs could hurt our operations.

We require skilled personnel to operate and provide technical services to, and support for, our drilling units. In periods of increasing activity and when the number of operating units in our areas of operation increases, either because of new construction, re-activation of idle units or the mobilization of units into the region, shortages of qualified personnel could arise, creating upward pressure on wages and difficulty in staffing. The shortages of qualified personnel or the inability to obtain and retain qualified personnel also could negatively affect the quality and timeliness of our work. In addition, our ability to expand operations depends in part upon our ability to increase the size of the skilled labor force.

While we believe that we currently have adequate internal control procedures in place, we are still exposed to potential risks from the requirement that we evaluate our internal controls under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

We have evaluated our internal controls systems in order to allow management to report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, our internal controls, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We have performed the system and process evaluation and testing required to comply with the management certification requirements of, and preparing for the auditor attestation under, Section 404. As a

36

result, we have incurred additional expenses and a diversion of management’s time. While we have been able to fully implement the requirements relating to internal controls and all other aspects of Section 404 in a timely fashion, we cannot be certain that our internal control over financial reporting will be adequate in the future to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. If we are not able to maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting, we may be susceptible to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the SEC. Any such action could adversely affect our financial results and the market price of our securities.

Changes in tax laws, treaties or regulations, effective tax rates or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our tax returns could adversely affect our financial results.

Our future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by changes in tax laws, treaties and regulations, both internationally and domestically. Tax laws, treaties and regulations are highly complex and subject to interpretation. We are subject to changing tax laws, treaties and regulations in and between the countries in which we operate. Our income tax expense is based upon the interpretation of the tax laws in effect in various countries at the time that the expense was incurred. A change in these tax laws, treaties or regulations, or in the interpretation thereof, could result in a materially higher tax expense or a higher effective tax rate on our worldwide earnings. If any country successfully challenges our income tax filings based on our structure or the presence of our operations there, or if we otherwise lose a material dispute, our effective tax rate on worldwide earnings could increase substantially and our financial results could be materially adversely affected.

We could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws.

The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA, and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to non-U.S. officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Our policies mandate compliance with these laws. We operate in many parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption to some degree and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices. Despite our extensive training and compliance program, we cannot assure you that our internal control policies and procedures will always protect us from improper acts committed by our employees or agents. Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our business and operations. We may be subject to competitive disadvantages to the extent that our competitors are able to secure business, licenses or other preferential treatment by making payments to government officials and others in positions of influence or using other methods that U.S. and non-U.S. laws and regulations prohibit us from using.

In order to effectively compete in some foreign jurisdictions, we utilize local agents and seek to establish joint ventures with local operators or strategic partners. Although we have procedures and controls in place to monitor internal and external compliance, if we are found to be liable for FCPA or similar non-U.S. law violations (either due to our own acts or omissions, or due to the acts or omissions of others, including actions taken by our agents and our strategic or local partners, even though our agents and partners may not be subject to the FCPA), we could suffer from civil and criminal penalties or other sanctions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Our related party transactions with F3 Capital and its affiliates may cause conflicts of interests that may adversely affect us.

We have entered into, and may, in the future, enter into various transactions and agreements with F3 Capital and its affiliates. F3 Capital has no fiduciary duty to make decisions in our best interest. F3 Capital is entitled to vote our ordinary shares that it owns in accordance with its interests, which may be contrary to our interests and those of other shareholders, subject to certain agreements it entered into with us in conjunction with the acquisition of the Titanium Explorer. F3 Capital and its other affiliates are not limited in their ability to compete with us and

37

are not obligated to offer us business opportunities or to offer to sell additional assets to us. We believe that the transactions and agreements that we have entered into with F3 Capital are on terms that are at least as favorable as could reasonably have been obtained at such time from third parties. However, these relationships could create, or appear to create, potential conflicts of interest when our board of directors is faced with decisions that could have different implications for us and F3 Capital or its affiliates. The appearance of conflicts, even if such conflicts do not materialize, might adversely affect the public’s perception of us, as well as our relationship with other companies and our ability to enter into new relationships in the future, which may have a material adverse effect on our ability to do business. In addition, conflicts of interest may arise between us and F3 Capital and its affiliates. F3 Capital may favor its own interests over our interests and those of other shareholders and there is no assurance that F3 Capital will not bring legal action against us to preserve its own interests.

F3 Capital, which as a result of its ownership of parent’s ordinary shares, has a significant influence over us.

As of March 19, 2012, on a fully diluted basis, F3 Capital owned approximately 32.8% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares, including shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options and shares reserved under our Long-Term Incentive Plan. Through his ownership of F3 Capital, Hsin-Chi Su, a former director of the Company, has significant influence over matters such as the election of our directors, control over our business, policies and affairs and other matters submitted to our shareholders. As discussed above, the interests of F3 Capital and our shareholders may differ, and F3 Capital is under no fiduciary duty to consider the interests of our company or our shareholders.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

The following table sets forth our historical consolidated ratio of earning to fixed charges for the periods shown:

	Year ended December 31								Six Months Ended June 30,
	2008		2009		2010		2011		2012
Ratio of earnings to fixed charges		—		—		—		—		—

For the purposes of determining the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings are defined as pre-tax income from continuing operations plus fixed charges and amortization of capitalized interest less capitalized interest. Fixed charges are the sum of (a) interest expensed and capitalized, (b) amortized premiums, discounts and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness and (c) an estimate of the interest within rental expense. Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $51.9 million $12.5 million, $74.5 million, and $73.2 million and $25.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, December 31, 2009, December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011 and for the six months ended June 30, 2012 respectively. We had no preferred shares outstanding as of the end of any of the periods shown.

• the exchange notes being issued in the exchange offer will not contain the registration rights contained in the old notes.

Expiration, Extension and Amendment

The expiration time of the exchange offer is 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on                     , 2012. However, we may, in our sole discretion, extend the period of time for which the exchange offer is open and set a later expiration date for the exchange offer. The term “expiration time” as used herein means the latest time and date to which we extend the exchange offer. If we decide to extend the exchange offer period, we will then delay acceptance of any old notes by giving oral or written notice of an extension to the holders of old notes as described below. During any extension period, all old notes previously tendered will remain subject to the exchange offer and may be accepted for exchange by us. Any old notes not accepted for exchange will be returned to the tendering holder after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

Our obligation to accept old notes for exchange in the exchange offer is subject to the conditions described below under “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.” We may decide to waive any of the conditions in our sole reasonable discretion. Furthermore, we reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer, and not to accept for exchange any old notes not previously accepted for exchange, upon the occurrence of any of the conditions of the exchange offer specified below under the same heading. We will give oral or written notice of any extension, amendment, non-acceptance or termination to the holders of the old notes as promptly as practicable. If we materially change the terms of the exchange offer, we will resolicit tenders of the old notes, file a post-effective amendment to the prospectus and provide notice to you. If the change is made less than five business days before the expiration of the exchange offer, we will extend the offer so that the holders have at least five business days to tender or withdraw. We will notify you of any extension by means of a press release or other public announcement no later than 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the first business day after the previously scheduled expiration time.

Procedures for Tendering

Valid Tender

Except as described below, a tendering holder must, prior to the expiration time, transmit to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the exchange agent, at the address listed below under the caption “—Exchange Agent”:

• a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, including all other documents required by the letter of transmittal; or

• if old notes are tendered in accordance with the book-entry procedures listed below, an agent’s message transmitted through the Depository’s Automated Tender Offer Program, referred to as ATOP.

In addition, you must:

• deliver certificates, if any, for the old notes to the exchange agent at or before the expiration time;

• deliver a timely confirmation of the book-entry transfer of the old notes into the exchange agent’s account at the Depository, the book-entry transfer facility, along with the letter of transmittal or an agent’s message; or

• comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

The term “agent’s message” means a message, transmitted by the Depository to, and received by, the exchange agent and forming a part of a book-entry confirmation, that states that the Depository has received an express acknowledgment that the tendering holder agrees to be bound by the letter of transmittal and that we may enforce the letter of transmittal against such holder.

If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder of old notes, the letter of transmittal must be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer or exchange in satisfactory form duly executed by the registered holder with the signature guaranteed by an eligible institution. The old notes must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate powers of attorney. In either case, the old notes must be signed exactly as the name of any registered holder appears on the old notes.

If the letter of transmittal or any old notes or powers of attorney are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, these persons should so indicate when signing. Unless waived by us, proper evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to so act must be submitted.

By tendering, each holder will represent to us that, among other things, the person is not our affiliate, the exchange notes are being acquired in the ordinary course of business of the person receiving the exchange notes, whether or not that person is the holder, and neither the holder nor the other person has any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the exchange notes. Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for old notes, where such old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. Please read “Plan of Distribution.”

The method of delivery of old notes, letters of transmittal and all other required documents is at your election and risk, and the delivery will be deemed made only upon actual receipt or confirmation by the exchange agent. If the delivery is by mail, we recommend that you use registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to assure timely delivery. Holders tendering through the Depository’s ATOP system should allow sufficient time for completion of the ATOP procedures during the normal business hours of the Depository on such dates.

42

No old notes, agent’s messages, letters of transmittal or other required documents should be sent to us. Delivery of all old notes, agent’s messages, letters of transmittal and other documents must be made to the exchange agent. Holders may also request their respective brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or nominees to effect such tender for such holders.

If you are a beneficial owner whose old notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, and wish to tender, you should promptly instruct the registered holder to tender on your behalf. Any registered holder that is a participant in the Depository’s ATOP system may make book-entry delivery of the old notes by causing the Depository to transfer the old notes into the exchange agent’s account. The tender by a holder of old notes, including pursuant to the delivery of an agent’s message through the Depository’s ATOP system, will constitute an agreement between such holder and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the letter of transmittal.

All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, time of receipt and withdrawal of the tendered old notes will be determined by us in our sole reasonable discretion or by the exchange agent, which determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all old notes not validly tendered or any old notes which, if accepted, would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the absolute right to waive any irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular old notes. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of this exchange offer, including the instructions in the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of old notes must be cured within such time as we shall determine. Although we intend to notify you of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of old notes, none of us, the exchange agent, or any other person shall be under any duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of old notes, nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of old notes will not be deemed to have been made until such irregularities have been cured or waived. Any old notes received by the exchange agent that are not validly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned without cost to such holder by the exchange agent, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, as soon as practicable following the expiration date of the exchange offer.

Although we have no present plan to acquire any old notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any old notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to purchase or make offers for any old notes after the expiration date of the exchange offer, from time to time, through open market or privately negotiated transactions, one or more additional exchange or tender offers, or otherwise, as permitted by law, the indenture and our other debt agreements. Following consummation of this exchange offer, the terms of any such purchases or offers could differ materially from the terms of this exchange offer.

Signature Guarantees

Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed, unless the old notes surrendered for exchange are tendered:

• by a registered holder of the old notes who has not completed the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions” on the letter of transmittal, or

• for the account of an “eligible institution.”

If signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal are required to be guaranteed, the guarantees must be by an “eligible institution.” An “eligible institution” is an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the registrar for the notes within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act.

43

Book-Entry Transfer

The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account for the old notes at the Depository for purposes of the exchange offer. Any financial institution that is a participant in the Depository’s system may make book-entry delivery of old notes by causing the Depository to transfer those old notes into the exchange agent’s account at the Depository in accordance with the Depository’s procedure for transfer. The participant should transmit its acceptance to the Depository at or prior to the expiration time or comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below. The Depository will verify this acceptance, execute a book-entry transfer of the tendered old notes into the exchange agent’s account at the Depository and then send to the exchange agent confirmation of this book-entry transfer. The confirmation of this book-entry transfer will include an agent’s message confirming that the Depository has received an express acknowledgment from this participant that this participant has received and agrees to be bound by the letter of transmittal and that we may enforce the letter of transmittal against this participant.

Delivery of exchange notes issued in the exchange offer may be effected through book-entry transfer at the Depository. However, the letter of transmittal or facsimile of it or an agent’s message, with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, must:

• be transmitted to and received by the exchange agent at the address listed under “—Exchange Agent” at or prior to the expiration time; or

• comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

Delivery of documents to the Depository in accordance with the Depository’s procedures does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.

Guaranteed Delivery

If a registered holder of old notes desires to tender the old notes, and the old notes are not immediately available, or time will not permit the holder’s old notes or other required documents to reach the exchange agent before the expiration time, or the procedures for book-entry transfer described above cannot be completed on a timely basis, a tender may nonetheless be made if:

• the tender is made through an eligible institution;

• prior to the expiration time, the exchange agent receives by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery from such eligible institution a properly and validly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery, substantially in the form provided by us:

1. stating the name and address of the holder of old notes and the amount of old notes tendered,

2. stating that the tender is being made, and

3. guaranteeing that within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration time, the certificates for all physically tendered old notes, in proper form for transfer, or a book-entry confirmation, as the case may be, and a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, or an agent’s message, and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal will be deposited by the eligible institution with the exchange agent; and

• the certificates for all physically tendered old notes, in proper form for transfer, or a book-entry confirmation, as the case may be, and a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, or an agent’s message, and all other documents required by the letter of transmittal, are received by the exchange agent within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the date of execution of the notice of guaranteed delivery.

44

Determination of Validity

We will determine, in our sole reasonable discretion, all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility of old notes tendered for exchange. This discretion extends to the determination of all questions concerning the timing of receipts and acceptance of tenders. These determinations will be final and binding. We reserve the right to reject any particular old note not properly tendered or of which our acceptance might, in our judgment or our counsel’s judgment, be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive any defects or irregularities or conditions of the exchange offer as to any particular old note either before or after the expiration time, including the right to waive the ineligibility of any tendering holder. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer as to any particular old note either before or after the applicable expiration time, including the letter of transmittal and the instructions to the letter of transmittal, shall be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of old notes must be cured within a reasonable period of time.

Neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity in any tender of old notes. Moreover, neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person will incur any liability for failing to give notifications of any defect or irregularity.

Acceptance of Old Notes for Exchange; Issuance of Exchange Notes

Promptly after the expiration time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the exchange offer, we will accept all old notes properly tendered and issue the exchange notes, and return any old note not accepted for exchange. For purposes of an exchange offer, we will be deemed to have accepted properly tendered old notes for exchange when, as and if we have given oral or written notice to the exchange agent, with prompt written confirmation of any oral notice.

For each old note accepted for exchange, the holder will receive a new note having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered old note. As a result, registered holders of exchange notes issued in the exchange offer on the relevant record date for the first interest payment date following the completion of the exchange offer will receive interest accruing from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the old notes or, if no interest has been paid on the old notes, from February 1, 2012. Old notes that we accept for exchange will cease to accrue interest from and after the date of completion of the exchange offer. Under the registration rights agreement, we may be required to make additional payments in the form of additional interest to the holders of the old notes under circumstances relating to the timing of the exchange offer.

In all cases, issuance of exchange notes for old notes will be made only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of:

• certificate for the old notes, or a timely book-entry confirmation of the old notes, into the exchange agent’s account at the book-entry transfer facility;

• a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal or an agent’s message; and

• all other required documents.

Unaccepted or non-exchanged old notes will be returned without expense to the tendering holder of the old notes. In the case of old notes tendered by book-entry transfer in accordance with the book-entry procedures described above, the non-exchanged old notes will be credited to an account maintained with the Depository as promptly as practicable after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer. For each old note accepted for exchange, the holder of the old note will receive an exchange note having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered outstanding note.

45

Interest Payments on the Exchange Notes

The exchange notes will bear interest from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the old notes for which they were exchanged. Accordingly, registered holders of exchange notes on the relevant record date for the first interest payment date following the completion of the exchange offer will receive interest accruing from the most recent date to which interest has been paid. Old notes accepted for exchange will cease to accrue interest from and after the date of completion of the exchange offer and will be deemed to have waived their rights to receive the accrued interest on the old notes.

Withdrawal Rights

Tender of old notes may be properly withdrawn at any time before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date of the exchange offer.

For a withdrawal to be effective with respect to old notes, the exchange agent must receive a written notice of withdrawal before the expiration time delivered by hand, overnight by courier or by mail, at the address indicated under “—Exchange Agent” or, in the case of eligible institutions, at the facsimile number, or a properly transmitted “Request Message” through the Depository’s ATOP system. Any notice of withdrawal must:

• specify the name of the person, referred to as the depositor, having tendered the old notes to be withdrawn;

• identify the old notes to be withdrawn, including certificate numbers and principal amount of the old notes;

• contain a statement that the holder is withdrawing its election to have the old notes exchanged;

• other than a notice transmitted through the Depository’s ATOP system, be signed by the holder in the same manner as the original signature on the letter of transmittal by which the old notes were tendered, including any required signature guarantees, or be accompanied by documents of transfer to have the trustee with respect to the old notes register the transfer of the old notes in the name of the person withdrawing the tender; and

• specify the name in which the old notes are registered, if different from that of the depositor.

If certificates for old notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the exchange agent, then, prior to the release of these certificates the withdrawing holder must also submit the serial numbers of the particular certificates to be withdrawn and signed notice of withdrawal with signatures guaranteed by an eligible institution, unless this holder is an eligible institution. If old notes have been tendered in accordance with the procedure for book-entry transfer described below, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at the book-entry transfer facility to be credited with the withdrawn old notes.

Any old notes properly withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange. Exchange notes will not be issued in exchange unless the old notes so withdrawn are validly re-tendered.

Properly withdrawn old notes may be re-tendered by following the procedures described under “—Procedures for Tendering” above at any time at or before the expiration time.

We will determine all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility, including time of receipt, of notices of withdrawal.

46

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the exchange offer, or any extension of the exchange offer, we will not be required to accept for exchange, or to exchange, any old notes for any exchange notes, and, as described below, may terminate the exchange offer, whether or not any old notes have been accepted for exchange, or may waive any conditions to or amend the exchange offer, if any of the following conditions has occurred or exists:

• there shall occur a change in the current interpretation by the staff of the SEC which permits the exchange notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer in exchange for old notes to be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by the holders (other than broker-dealers and any holder which is an affiliate) without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that such exchange notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holders’ business and such holders have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the exchange notes;

• any action or proceeding shall have been instituted or threatened in any court or by or before any governmental agency or body seeking to enjoin, make illegal or delay completion of the exchange offer or otherwise relating to the exchange offer;

• any law, statute, rule or regulation shall have been adopted or enacted which, in our judgment, would reasonably be expected to impair our ability to proceed with such exchange offer;

• a banking moratorium shall have been declared by United States federal or New York State authorities;

• trading on the New York Stock Exchange or generally in the United States over-the-counter market shall have been suspended, or a limitation on prices for securities imposed, by order of the SEC or any other governmental authority;

• an attack on the United States, an outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States, or any declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war shall have occurred;

• a stop order shall have been issued by the SEC or any state securities authority suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part or proceedings shall have been initiated or, to our knowledge, threatened for that purpose or any governmental approval has not been obtained, which approval we shall, in our sole reasonable discretion, deem necessary for the consummation of such exchange offer; or

• any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in our business or financial affairs or any of our subsidiaries has occurred which is or may be adverse to us or we shall have become aware of facts that have or may have an adverse impact on the value of the old notes or the exchange notes, which in our sole judgment in any case makes it inadvisable to proceed with such exchange offer and/or with such acceptance for exchange or with such exchange.

If any of the foregoing events or conditions has occurred or exists, we may, subject to applicable law, terminate the exchange offer, whether or not any old notes have been accepted for exchange, or may waive any such condition or otherwise amend the terms of such exchange offer in any respect. Please read “—Expiration, Extension and Amendment” above.

If any of the above events occur, we may:

• terminate the exchange offer and promptly return all tendered old notes to tendering holders;

• complete and/or extend the exchange offer and, subject to your withdrawal rights, retain all tendered old notes until the extended exchange offer expires;

• amend the terms of the exchange offer; or

• waive any unsatisfied condition and, subject to any requirement to extend the period of time during which the exchange offer is open, complete the exchange offer.

47

We may assert these conditions with respect to the exchange offer regardless of the circumstances giving rise to them. All conditions to the exchange offer, other than those dependent upon receipt of necessary government approvals, must be satisfied or waived by us before the expiration of the exchange offer. We may waive any condition in whole or in part at any time in our sole reasonable discretion. Our failure to exercise our rights under any of the above circumstances does not represent a waiver of these rights. Each right is an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time. Any determination by us concerning the conditions described above will be final and binding upon all parties.

If a waiver constitutes a material change to the exchange offer, we will promptly disclose the waiver by means of a prospectus supplement that we will distribute to the registered holders of the old notes, and we will extend the exchange offer for a period of five to ten business days, as required by applicable law, depending upon the significance of the waiver and the manner of disclosure to the registered holders, if the exchange offer would otherwise expire during the five to ten business day period.

Resales of Exchange Notes

Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC, as described in no-action letters issued to third parties that are not related to us, we believe that exchange notes issued in the exchange offer in exchange for old notes may be offered for resale, resold or otherwise transferred by holders of the exchange notes without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, if:

• the exchange notes are acquired in the ordinary course of the holder’s business;

• the holders have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the exchange notes;

• the holders are not “affiliates” of ours within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act; and

• the holders are not a broker-dealer who purchased old notes directly from us for resale pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption under the Securities Act.

However, the SEC has not considered the exchange offer described in this prospectus in the context of a no-action letter. The staff of the SEC may not make a similar determination with respect to the exchange offer as in the other circumstances. Each holder who wishes to exchange old notes for exchange notes will be required to represent that it meets the above four requirements.

Any holder who is an affiliate of ours or who intends to participate in the exchange offer for the purpose of distributing exchange notes or any broker-dealer who purchased old notes directly from us for resale pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption under the Securities Act:

• cannot rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC mentioned above;

• will not be permitted or entitled to tender the old notes in the exchange offer; and

• must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any secondary resale transaction.

Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for old notes must acknowledge that the old notes were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and agree that it will deliver a prospectus that meets the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Please read “Plan of Distribution.” A broker-dealer may use this prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, in connection with the resale of exchange notes received in exchange for old notes that the broker-dealer acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities.

48

Any holder that is a broker-dealer participating in the exchange offer must notify the exchange agent at the telephone number set forth in the enclosed letter of transmittal and must comply with the procedures for broker-dealers participating in the exchange offer. We have not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any person to distribute the exchange notes to be received in the exchange offer.

In addition, to comply with state securities laws, the exchange notes may not be offered or sold in any state unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification, with which there has been compliance, is available. The offer and sale of the exchange notes to “qualified institutional buyers,” as defined under Rule 144A of the Securities Act, is generally exempt from registration or qualification under the state securities laws. We currently do not intend to register or qualify the sale of exchange notes in any state where an exemption from registration or qualification is required and not available.

Exchange Agent

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, has been appointed as the exchange agent for the exchange offer. All executed letters of transmittal and any other required documents should be directed to the exchange agent at the address or facsimile number set forth below. Questions and requests for assistance, requests for additional copies of this prospectus or of the letter of transmittal and requests for notices of guaranteed delivery should be directed to the exchange agent addressed as follows:

WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Delivery by Registered or Certified Mail:	Facsimile Transmissions: (Eligible Institutions Only)	Overnight Delivery or Regular Mail:
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association Corporate Trust Operations MAC N9303-121 P.O. Box 1517 Minneapolis, MN 55480	(612) 667-6282 To Confirm by Telephone or for Information Call: (800) 344-5128	Wells Fargo Bank, National Association Corporate Trust Operations MAC N9303-121 Sixth & Marquette Avenue Minneapolis, MN 55479

Delivery of the letter of transmittal to an address other than as set forth above or transmission of such letter of transmittal via facsimile other than as set forth above does not constitute a valid delivery of the letter of transmittal.

Fees and Expenses

We will pay the expenses of soliciting tenders pursuant to this exchange offer. We have agreed to pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse it for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the exchange offer. We will also pay brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in forwarding copies of this prospectus and related documents to the beneficial owners of old notes, and in handling or tendering for their customers. We will not make any payment to brokers, dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer.

Holders who tender their old notes for exchange will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes on the exchange. If, however, exchange notes are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of the old notes tendered, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of old notes in connection with the exchange offer, then the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted with the letter of transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder.

49

Transfer Taxes

We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of old notes under the exchange offer. The tendering holder, however, will be required to pay any transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other person, if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of old notes under the exchange offer.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange Outstanding Securities

Holders who desire to tender their old notes in exchange for exchange notes registered under the Securities Act should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. Neither the exchange agent nor us is under any duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to the tenders of old notes for exchange.

Old notes that are not tendered or are tendered but not accepted will, following the completion of the exchange offer, continue to be subject to the provisions in the indenture regarding the transfer and exchange of the old notes and the existing restrictions on transfer set forth in the legend on the old notes set forth in the indenture for the notes. Except in limited circumstances with respect to specific types of holders of old notes, we will have no further obligation to provide for the registration under the Securities Act of such old notes. In general, old notes, unless registered under the Securities Act, may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

We do not currently anticipate that we will take any action to register the old notes under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws. Upon completion of the exchange offer, holders of the old notes will not be entitled to any further registration rights under the registration rights agreement, except under limited circumstances. Holders of the exchange notes issued in the exchange offer and any old notes which remain outstanding after completion of the exchange offer will vote together as a single class for purposes of determining whether holders of the requisite percentage of the class have taken certain actions or exercised certain rights under the indenture.

Accounting Treatment

We will record the exchange notes at the same carrying value as the old notes, as reflected in our accounting records on the date of the exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes. The expenses of the exchange offer will be amortized over the term of the exchange notes.

Other

Participation in the exchange offer is voluntary, and you should consider carefully whether to accept. You are urged to consult your financial and tax advisors in making your own decision on what action to take.

We may in the future seek to acquire untendered old notes in open market or privately negotiated transactions, through subsequent exchange offers or otherwise. We have no present plans to acquire any old notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any untendered old notes.

50

USE OF PROCEEDS

The exchange offer is intended to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the exchange notes in the exchange offer. In consideration for issuing the exchange notes as contemplated by this prospectus, we will receive old notes in a like principal amount. The form and terms of the exchange notes are identical in all respects to the form and terms of the old notes, except that the transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest provisions relating to the old notes do not apply to the exchange notes. Old notes surrendered in exchange for the exchange notes will be retired and cancelled and will not be reissued. Accordingly, the issuance of the exchange notes will not result in any change in our outstanding indebtedness.

DESCRIPTION OF OTHER INDEBTEDNESS

The following summarizes the terms of the F3 Capital Note. The only outstanding indebtedness of parent and its subsidiaries (other than the issuer) is the indebtedness under the F3 Capital Note, which is described below. The issuer and its subsidiaries have no indebtedness other than the notes.

On July 30, 2010, we completed the acquisition of the remaining 55% ownership interest in Mandarin Drilling Corporation (the owner of the Platinum Explorer) which we did not own pursuant to the Share Sale and Purchase Agreement dated July 6, 2010 between us and F3 Capital for total consideration of $139.7 million, consisting of (i) approximately $79.7 million in cash, including $64.2 million paid directly to DSME for installment payments on the Platinum Explorer, and (ii) the F3 Capital Note described below.

The F3 Capital Note bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum, accruing and compounding daily, and will mature 90 months after July 30, 2010, the issue date. The F3 Capital Note includes a contingent convertible feature, subject to shareholder vote. We originally valued the F3 Capital Note based on our then weighted average cost of capital resulting in a discounted present value of $27.8 million. The F3 Capital Note would have become convertible into our ordinary shares upon approval by our shareholders at a conversion price of $1.10 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution covenants. At our shareholder’s meeting in January 2011, shareholders did not approve the conversion of the F3 Capital Note. There is also a preemptive right covenant that provides F3 Capital with the right to purchase a pro-rata portion of any equity or convertible debt that we offer so long as the F3 Capital Note is outstanding if the price of the equity and convertible debt that we offer is less than the conversion price of the F3 Capital Note. Under the terms of the F3 Capital Note, if convertible, any principal amount that F3 Capital elects to convert would be reduced by any amounts owed by F3 Capital to Vantage International Management Co. or Vantage Deepwater Company. If we do not repay the F3 Capital Note on its scheduled maturity date or upon the occurrence of certain customary default provisions, the interest rate on any amounts outstanding under the F3 Capital Note will rise to 10% per annum.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EXCHANGE NOTES

The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements. It does not restate those agreements in their entirety. We urge you to read those agreements because they, and not this description, will define your rights as holders of the exchange notes. Copies of the Indenture, the Note Guarantees and the Collateral Agreements are available as set forth below under “—Additional Information.” You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description below under the subheading “—Certain Definitions.” Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined below under the subheading “—Certain Definitions” have the meaning assigned to them in the Indenture. In this description, the “Issuer” refers only to Offshore Group Investment Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability, and any successor, and not to Vantage Drilling Company.

The Issuer previously issued $1.225 billion in aggregate principal amount of notes under the Indenture, which we refer to as the “existing notes” in this Description of Notes, consisting of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of initial notes issued on July 30, 2010 and $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of additional notes issued on June 1, 2011. A portion of the net proceeds from these issuances of notes were used to consummate transactions related to the acquisition of the Platinum Explorer and the acquisition of the Aquamarine Driller. Because these transactions have been consummated, we have updated this Description of Notes as appropriate to reflect the completion of these transactions. The Indenture will still contain provisions relating to the acquisition of the Platinum Explorer and the acquisitions related to the Aquamarine Driller, but these are no longer reflected in this Description of Notes since they have no further effect.

The old notes were issued as “additional notes” under the Indenture. The existing notes issued under the Indenture and the old notes are, and the exchange notes will be, a single series of securities under the Indenture. To the extent provided herein, the Indenture is subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act” or “TIA”). The terms of the notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act.

On March 30, 2012, we successfully completed a concurrent consent solicitation described in this prospectus.

Brief Description of the Notes and the Note Guarantees

The Issuer will issue the exchange notes under the Indenture with the Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee and Noteholder Collateral Agent. The terms of the exchange notes will include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA.

The exchange notes will be:

• senior secured obligations of the Issuer;

• pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior Indebtedness of the Issuer, including the existing notes;

• senior in right of payment to any existing and future subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer;

• secured on a first priority basis with the existing notes by substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and the Guarantors (other than Parent), subject to certain exceptions and Permitted Liens; and

• and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Guarantors.

52

The notes will be guaranteed with the existing notes on a senior secured basis by Parent, by each of the Issuer’s existing and future Subsidiaries, including any existing and future Subsidiaries that guarantee Obligations under any Credit Agreement, and by certain of Parent’s other Subsidiaries. Each guarantee of the exchange notes will be:

• senior secured obligations of that Guarantor;

• pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior Indebtedness of that Guarantor, including the guarantees related to the existing notes;

• senior in right of payment to any existing and future subordinated Indebtedness of that Guarantor; and

• secured on a first priority basis with the existing notes by substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (other than Parent), subject to certain exceptions and Permitted Liens.

None of the Excluded Parent Subsidiaries will be Restricted Subsidiaries or Guarantors, except under limited circumstances as set forth under the “Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries” and “Additional Note Guarantees” covenants.

At March 31, 2012, after giving effect to this offering and the other related transactions as described under “Use of Proceeds,” the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, would have had outstanding approximately $2.0 billion of senior indebtedness consisting of the notes, and Parent and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, would have had outstanding approximately $2.0 billion of senior indebtedness consisting of the notes, the F3 Capital Note and short-term debt. In addition, the Issuer and the Guarantors would have the ability to incur additional Indebtedness, including additional Indebtedness and letters of credit under any Credit Agreement not to exceed $25.0 million pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

The registered holder of a note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered holders will have rights under the Indenture.

Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries

As of the close of the offering, all of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries will be “Restricted Subsidiaries. Under the circumstances described below under the caption “—Certain Covenants—Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries,” the Board of Directors of Parent will be permitted to designate certain of the Restricted Subsidiaries or newly created or acquired Subsidiaries, if any, as Unrestricted Subsidiaries. Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to many of the restrictive covenants in the Indenture and will not guarantee the notes.

Principal, Amortization Schedule and Interest

The Issuer issued $775.0 million in aggregate principal amount of old notes in this offering at an offering price of 108%, plus accrued and unpaid interest from February 1, 2012. The Issuer may issue additional notes under the Indenture from time to time in the future. Any issuance of additional notes will be subject to all of the covenants in the Indenture, including the covenant described below under the caption “—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.” The notesand any additional notes subsequently issued under the Indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The Issuer will issue notes in a minimum denomination of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.

Interest on the notes will accrue at the rate of 11 1/2% per year and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing, with respect to the old notes, on August 1, 2012. Interest on overdue principal and interest will accrue at a rate that is 2.0% higher than the then applicable interest rate on the notes. The Issuer will make each interest payment to the holders of record on the immediately preceding January 15 and July 15. Interest on the notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has

53

already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. For the avoidance of doubt, all references to “interest” mean the initial interest rate borne by the notes and any increases in that rate to the extent overdue interest accrues on the notes, any Default Interest as set forth under “-Events of Default and Remedies” and Additional Interest pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes

If a holder of notes has given wire transfer instructions to the Issuer, the Issuer will pay all principal of, and interest and premium on, that holder’s notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on the notes will be made at the office or agency of the paying agent and registrar unless the Issuer elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the noteholders at their address set forth in the register of holders.

Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association will initially act as paying agent and registrar. The Issuer may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the holders of the notes, and the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.

Transfer and Exchange

A holder may transfer or exchange notes in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. The registrar and the Trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of notes. Holders will be required to pay all taxes due on transfer. The Registrar will not be required to transfer or exchange any note selected for redemption. Also, the Issuer will not be required to transfer or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a selection of notes to be redeemed.

Note Guarantees

The notes will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by Parent and by each of the Issuer’s existing and future Subsidiaries, including any existing and future Subsidiaries that guarantee Obligations under any Credit Agreement, and by certain of Parent’s other Subsidiaries. Such Note Guarantees will be joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that Note Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—U.S. federal, state and foreign fraudulent transfer laws may permit a court to void the notes and the Note Guarantees, subordinate claims in respect of the notes and the Note Guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received. If this occurs, noteholders may not receive any payments on the notes.” If the Note Guarantee of a Guarantor is determined to be a fraudulent conveyance, holders of the notes may not receive any payment on the notes.

A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary, unless:

(1) immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(2) either:

(a) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under the Indenture and its Note Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee; or

(b) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements,

54

provided, however, that the transfer, sale or other disposition, directly or indirectly, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Guarantors as a whole will be governed by the “Merger, Consolidation; Sale of Assets” and “Asset Sales” covenants and may be subject to the “Change of Control” covenant.

The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released:

(1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer, a Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the “Merger, Consolidation; Sale of Assets” or “Asset Sales” covenants and complies with the Collateral Agreements;

(2) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer, a Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the “Asset Sales” provisions of the Indenture and complies with the Collateral Agreements;

(3) if Parent or the Issuer designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture; or

(4) upon legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture as provided below under the captions “—Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance” and “—Satisfaction and Discharge.”

Security

Collateral Agreements

The notes, the Note Guarantees and all other Obligations under the Indenture will be secured by a first priority Lien on the Equity Interests of the Issuer and substantially all of the existing and future property and assets of the Issuer and the Guarantors (other than Parent), including the following:

(1) the Emerald Driller, the Sapphire Driller, the Topaz Driller, the Aquamarine Driller, the Platinum Explorer, and the Titanium Explorer, as mortgaged under those certain Ship Mortgages dated the Issue Date or, in the case of the Platinum Explorer, the Aquamarine Driller and the Titanium Explorer, thereafter;

(2) all other assets of the Issuer and the Guarantors (other than Parent), which will include accounts receivable (and supporting obligations related to the payment or performance thereof), general intangibles and equipment;

(3) assignments of all insurance in respect of the Vessels and other applicable insurance of the Issuer and the Guarantors in respect of other Collateral;

(4) assignments of the earnings of the Issuer or any Guarantor or Internal Charterer that is party to a Drilling Contract;

(5) the Dragonquest Construction Assignment;

(6) the Equity Interests of the Guarantors (other than Parent);

(7) assignment of the Earnings Account.

We do not expect that the Collateral will include an assignment of the Drilling Contracts related to the Vessels because, as a general matter, the counterparties to these kind of contracts do not allow their assignment. However, the Collateral will include an assignment of the earnings from such Drilling Contracts (including the Petrobras Drilling Contract) and such earnings will be deposited into the Earnings Account, which will also be assigned as part of the Collateral. The Collateral also will not include de minimus or immaterial assets for which perfection of the security interests in such assets could not be obtained without unreasonable cost and expense or under applicable law.

55

The Liens will secure the payment and performance when due of all of the Obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under the Indenture, the notes, the Note Guarantees and the Collateral Agreements, in each case as provided in the Collateral Agreements. The Issuer and the Guarantors will cause the earnings derived from all Drilling Contracts to be deposited into the Earnings Account.

If property of a type constituting Collateral is acquired by the Issuer or any Guarantor (other than Parent) that is not automatically subject to a Lien or perfected security interest under the Collateral Agreements or there is a new Guarantor, then the Issuer or such Guarantor will, as soon as practicable after such property’s acquisition or such Subsidiary becoming a Guarantor and in any event within 10 business days, provide Liens having first priority over such property (or, in the case of a new Guarantor, all of its assets constituting the type that is Collateral) in favor of the Noteholder Collateral Agent and deliver certain certificates (including in the case of real property, title insurance) in respect thereof as required by the Indenture or the Collateral Agreements and take all necessary steps to perfect the security interest represented by such Liens.

So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and certain other terms and conditions, the Issuer and the Guarantors will be entitled to receive all cash dividends, principal, interest and other payments made upon or with respect to the Collateral pledged by them and to exercise any voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral pledged by them, except in connection with a sale of any such Collateral which shall be governed by the Intercreditor Agreement and the Indenture, including the “Merger, Consolidation; Sale of Assets” and “Asset Sales” covenants and the provisions of the Collateral Agreements as set forth under “—Release of Liens.”

Subject to the Collateral Agreements and the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default:

(1) all rights of the Issuer and the Guarantors to exercise such voting or other consensual rights will cease, and all such rights will become vested in the Noteholder Collateral Agent, which, to the extent permitted by law, will have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights;

(2) all rights of the Issuer and the Guarantors to receive all cash dividends, principal, interest and other payments made upon or with respect to the Collateral will cease and such cash dividends, principal, interest and other payments will be paid to the Noteholder Collateral Agent; and

(3) the Noteholder Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral or any part of the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Agreements.

The Trustee will distribute all funds received by the Noteholder Collateral Agent for the benefit of the holders of the notes in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements.

The Noteholder Collateral Agent will determine the circumstances and manner in which the Collateral will be disposed of, including, but not limited to, the determination of whether to release all or any portion of the Collateral from the Liens created by the Collateral Agreements and whether to foreclose on the Collateral following a Default or Event of Default.

Intercreditor Agreement

If the Issuer and the Guarantors enter into any Credit Agreement in the future and the Indebtedness thereunder is secured by Liens on Collateral, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent on behalf of the Credit Agreement Secured Parties, and the Noteholder Collateral Agent on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties will enter into an Intercreditor Agreement, which will define the rights of such parties with respect to the Collateral. The following description is a summary of the principal terms that we expect to be contained in any Intercreditor Agreement, rather than a complete and definitive description of such terms. There is no assurance that the Issuer and the Guarantors will enter into any such Intercreditor Agreement on these terms, and the terms of any such Intercreditor Agreement could be more beneficial to the holders of any Credit Agreement Liens compared to

56

those summarized below. By purchasing notes, each holder of notes will be deemed to have authorized the Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Trustee to enter into an Intercreditor Agreement with the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent on terms substantially the same as those summarized below.

Notes Obligations Pari Passu with Credit Agreement Obligations

We expect that any Intercreditor Agreement will provide, among other things, that all Indebtedness under the Indenture and certain other Indebtedness permitted under the Indenture and all other Obligations related to such Indebtedness and owing under the documents relating to such Indebtedness (collectively, “Notes Obligations”) will be secured by first priority Liens on the Collateral, which Liens are intended to be pari passu with the first priority Liens thereon that will secure Credit Agreement Obligations under any Credit Agreement pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, subject to the provisions of this section. Such Credit Agreement Obligations will be entitled to the benefit of the Intercreditor Agreement to the extent that the aggregate principal amount thereof does not exceed the maximum principal amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer and the Guarantors are entitled to incur under any Credit Agreement pursuant to the Indenture (the “Maximum Credit Agreement Amount”).

Relative Priorities

We expect that the Intercreditor Agreement will provide that notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Lien securing the notes or the Note Guarantees (a “Notes Lien”) or any Lien or Collateral securing the Credit Agreement Lien Obligations (a “Credit Agreement Lien”), and notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law or the provisions of any Indenture Document or any agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or governing any Notes Obligations (collectively, the “Notes Debt Documents”) or any other circumstance whatsoever, each Agent (i.e., the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent and the Noteholder Collateral Agent), for itself and on behalf of the Secured Parties (i.e., the holders of the Credit Agreement Lien Obligations and the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent (collectively, the “Credit Agreement Secured Parties”)) and the holders of notes and Note Guarantees, the trustee and the Noteholder Collateral Agent (collectively, the “Notes Secured Parties”)) on whose behalf it acts in such capacity therefor, will agree that, so long as the Credit Agreement Obligations have not been discharged, any Credit Agreement Liens then or thereafter held by or for the benefit of any Credit Agreement Secured Party will be equal in all respects with any and all Notes Liens and such Liens will be and remain equal in all respects for all purposes, whether or not any such Liens are subordinated in any respect to any other Liens securing any other obligation or any other Person and whether or not any such Liens are voided, avoided, invalidated, lapsed or unperfected, subject to the provisions of this section.

Prohibition on Contesting Liens; Additional Collateral

We expect that the Intercreditor Agreement will provide that (a) each Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Parties on whose behalf it acts in such capacity therefor, will agree that it will not, and will waive any right to contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any insolvency or liquidation proceeding), the priority, validity, perfection or enforceability of any Credit Agreement Lien or any Notes Lien, as the case may be; provided that nothing in the Intercreditor Agreement will be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Agent or any other Secured Party to enforce the Intercreditor Agreement to the extent provided thereby and (b) if the Issuer or any Guarantor grants any additional Liens upon any assets to secure (i) any Credit Agreement Obligations, it must substantially concurrently grant a Lien upon such assets as security for the notes or the Note Guarantee of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, provided that, the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or any Credit Agreement Secured Party shall not be required to permit the grant of any Lien upon any cash, certificate of deposit, deposit account, money market account, or other such liquid assets as security for the notes or the Note Guarantee, in each case to the extent that any such cash, certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, money market accounts, or other such liquid assets are on deposit or maintained with the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or any Credit Agreement Secured Party to secure the Credit Agreement Obligations, and (ii) the notes or Note Guarantee of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, it must substantially concurrently grant a Lien upon such assets as security for the Credit Agreement Lien Obligations.

57

Exercise of Rights and Remedies; Standstill

We expect that under the Intercreditor Agreement, the Noteholder Collateral Agent will initially be the controlling agent. As such, we expect that the Intercreditor Agreement will provide that the Noteholder Collateral Agent will, at all times prior to the payment in full in cash of the Notes Obligations, have the exclusive right to enforce rights and exercise remedies with respect to the Collateral, or to commence or seek to commence any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies, in each case, without any consultation with or the consent of the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or any other Credit Agreement Secured Party and no Credit Agreement Secured Party will have any such right; provided, however, that (a) the Credit Agreement Secured Parties will be entitled to take certain actions to preserve and protect their claims and interests with respect to the Credit Agreement Obligations, to create, prove, preserve and protect the validity, enforceability, perfection and priority of the Collateral and actions that unsecured creditors are entitled to take (which in any event cannot be in contravention to the limitations imposed on the Credit Agreement Secured Parties in the Intercreditor Agreement), in each case, to the extent set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement; (b) after a period of 180 days has elapsed since the date on which the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent has delivered to the Noteholder Collateral Agent written notice of the acceleration by the Credit Agreement Secured Parties of the Credit Agreement Obligations (the “Standstill Period”), the Credit Agreement Secured Parties may enforce or exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral subject to the following clause (c); and (c) that notwithstanding the expiration of the Standstill Period or anything to the contrary in any the Intercreditor Agreement, in no event may the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or any other Credit Agreement Secured Party enforce or exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral or take any other enforcement action, if the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent has been delivered a written notice from the Noteholder Collateral Agent that the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any other Notes Secured Party shall have commenced and shall be diligently pursuing the enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to all or a material portion of the Collateral.

Automatic Release of Notes Liens

We expect that the Intercreditor Agreement will provide that if, in connection with (i) any disposition of any Collateral permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement Debt Documents and the Notes Debt Documents or (ii) the enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral, including any disposition of Collateral, the Noteholder Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Notes Secured Parties, (x) releases any of the Notes Liens, or (y) releases any Guarantor from its obligations under its guarantee of the Notes Obligations (in each case, “Release”), other than any such Release granted following the discharge of Notes Obligations and termination of commitments under the Notes Debt Documents, then the Credit Agreement Liens on such Collateral will be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released, and the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent will, for itself and on behalf of the other Credit Agreement Secured Parties, promptly execute and deliver to the Noteholder Collateral Agent, the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, such termination statements, releases and other documents as the Noteholder Collateral Agent, the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, may reasonably request to effectively confirm such Release and as may be otherwise reasonably required under applicable law to consummate such Release and any related transactions.

Waterfall

We expect that the Intercreditor Agreement will provide that any Collateral or proceeds thereof received by any Secured Party in connection with any disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral upon the enforcement or exercise of any right or remedy will be turned over to the applicable Agent and applied as follows:

• first, to the payment of the Credit Agreement Obligations to the extent that such Credit Agreement Obligations shall be entitled to the benefit of the Intercreditor Agreement;

• second, after the discharge of Credit Agreement Obligations permitted under the Intercreditor Agreement has occurred, to the payment of the Notes Obligations; and

58

• third, after the discharge of Credit Agreement Obligations has occurred and the notes and Note Guarantees have been paid in full in cash, any surplus Collateral or proceeds then remaining will be returned to the Issuer, the applicable Guarantor or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Payment Over

We expect that the Intercreditor Agreement will provide that so long as the discharge of Notes Obligations has not occurred, any Collateral or any proceeds thereof received by the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or any other Credit Agreement Secured Party in connection with any disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral upon the enforcement or the exercise of any right or remedy with respect to the Collateral by the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent, or in connection with any insurance policy claim or any condemnation award (or deed in lieu of condemnation) with respect to the Collateral, as contemplated under certain provisions of the Indenture or by any other means (whether as a matter of law or otherwise), will be segregated and held in trust and forthwith transferred or paid over to the Noteholder Collateral Agent in the same form as received for application in accordance with the subheading “—Waterfall” above, together with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

Post-petition Interest

Neither the Noteholder Collateral Agent nor any other Notes Secured Party may oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or any other Credit Agreement Secured Party for allowance in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding of Credit Agreement Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses. Neither the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent nor any other Credit Agreement Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any other Notes Secured Party for allowance in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding of Notes Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Notes Lien of the Noteholder Collateral Agent on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties on the Collateral (after taking into account the value of the Credit Agreement Liens of the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent on behalf of the Credit Agreement Secured Parties on the Collateral).

Release of Liens

The Issuer and the Guarantors will be entitled to releases of assets included in the Collateral from the Liens securing Obligations under the Indenture under any one or more of the following circumstances:

(1) upon the full and final payment and performance of all Obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under the notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees and the Collateral Agreements;

(2) with respect to any asset constituting Collateral (other than the Capital Stock of the Issuer), if such Collateral is sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the terms of the covenant entitled “Asset Sales” and the Collateral Agreements and the Issuer has delivered to the Noteholder Collateral Agent an officers’ certificate certifying to such effect; provided that (a) any cash received from a disposition of Collateral will be required to be deposited in a deposit account controlled by the Issuer and held as Collateral subject to the Liens pending its application or use in compliance with the Asset Sales covenant and, from such deposit account, Parent, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may withdraw funds to deploy the proceeds of an Asset Sale in compliance with the Asset Sales covenant; and (b) to the extent that any disposition in such Asset Sale was of Collateral, the non-cash consideration received is pledged as Collateral under the Collateral Agreements substantially simultaneously with such sale, in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements;

(3) upon legal or covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the notes as provided below under the captions “—Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance” and “—Satisfaction and Discharge”;

59

(4) with respect to an applicable Subsidiary, upon the occurrence of a Contract Unwind Trigger;

(5) with respect to any assignment of rights under the respective terminated Internal Charter only, upon the occurrence of an Internal Charter Unwind Trigger; or

(6) if any Guarantor is released from its Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture (including by virtue of such Guarantor ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary), that Guarantor’s assets will also be released from the Liens securing its Note Guarantee and the other Obligations.

In addition to the foregoing, the Issuer and the Guarantors will comply with the provisions of TIA Section 314. To the extent applicable, the Issuer and the Guarantors will comply with TIA Section 313(b), relating to reports, and TIA Section 314(d), relating to the release of property or securities or relating to the substitution therefor of any property or securities to be subjected to the Lien of the security documents. Any certificate or opinion required by TIA Section 314(d) may be made by an officer of the Issuer except in cases where TIA Section 314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent Person, which Person will be an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert selected or reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, neither Parent nor the Issuer will be required to comply with all or any portion of TIA Section 314(d) if it determines, in good faith based on advice of counsel, that under the terms of TIA Section 314(d) and/or any interpretation or guidance as to the meaning thereof of the SEC, including “no action” letters or exemptive orders, all or any portion of TIA Section 314(d) is inapplicable to one or a series of released Collateral.

No Impairment of the Security Interests

Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor will be permitted to take any action, or omit to take any action, which action or omission might or would have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Noteholder Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the holders of the notes except as expressly set forth in the Indenture or the Collateral Agreements.

Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor will take any action or otherwise attempt to enforce any claim or maritime lien against any Vessel that has priority over any claim or Lien of the Noteholder Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the holders of the notes in respect of any Collateral, including any such claims or Liens arising under Ship Mortgages.

The Indenture provides that any release of Collateral in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements will not be deemed to impair the security under the Indenture, and that any appraiser or other expert may rely on such provision in delivering a certificate requesting release so long as all other provisions of the Indenture with respect to such release have been complied with.

Further Assurances

Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor will enter into (a) any agreement that requires the proceeds received from any sale of Collateral to be applied to repay, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire any Indebtedness of any Person, other than as permitted or required by the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements or (b) any amendment to, or other agreement in respect of, the Dragonquest Construction Contract to the extent that any such amendment or agreement would be materially adverse to the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or the holders of the notes.

To the extent that any instrument, Mortgage or other document is required to be delivered to give effect to and perfect the Liens (including with respect to the Titanium Explorer when title thereto becomes legally vested in the applicable Guarantor), the Issuer and the Guarantors will be required to use their commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such instruments, Mortgages and/or other documents as soon as possible but in no event later than 10 business days following the Issue Date or, if an asset is acquired or delivered after the Issue Date, not later than 10 business days after such acquisition or delivery date.

60

Upon the occurrence of a Contract Winning Trigger, Parent or the Issuer shall cause the applicable Subsidiary to pledge its assets and property pursuant to the Collateral Agreements to become part of the Collateral subject to the Liens and shall perfect such Liens as soon as practicable but not later than 10 business days after the date of such Contract Winning Trigger; and such Liens shall be released upon the occurrence of a Contract Unwind Trigger, provided that no assets or property have been transferred or sold, directly or indirectly, by the Issuer or a Guarantor to such applicable Subsidiary that is subject to the “Asset Sales” covenant.

Parent and the Issuer shall, and they shall cause any Guarantor to, at its sole cost and expense:

(i) execute and deliver all such agreements and instruments and take all further action as the Noteholder Collateral Agent or the Trustee shall reasonably request to more fully or accurately describe the property intended to be Collateral or the obligations intended to be secured by the Collateral Agreements; and

(ii) file any such notice filings or other agreements or instruments as may be reasonably necessary or desirable under applicable law to perfect the Liens created by the Collateral Agreements.

In addition, the Ship Mortgages will contain customary mortgagor representations and covenants, including, but not limited to, Bahamian or Panamanian provisional and permanent registration, as applicable, limiting maritime liens, chartering, use and maintenance, class record inspection, insurance, and vessel management.

Authorization of Actions to Be Taken

Each holder of notes, by its acceptance thereof, will be deemed to have consented and agreed to the terms of each Collateral Agreement, as originally in effect and as amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time in accordance with its terms or the terms of the Indenture, to have authorized and directed the Noteholder Collateral Agent to enter into the Collateral Agreements to which it is a party, and to have authorized and empowered the Noteholder Collateral Agent to bind the holders of the notes as set forth in the Collateral Agreements to which it is a party and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights and powers thereunder, including entering into amendments permitted by the terms of the Indenture or the Collateral Agreements.

Certain Bankruptcy and Other Collateral Limitations

The ability of the Noteholder Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the holders of the notes to realize upon the Collateral may be subject to certain bankruptcy law limitations in the event of a bankruptcy. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—Rights of holders of notes in the collateral may be adversely affected by bankruptcy proceedings.” The ability of the Noteholder Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the holders of the notes to foreclose on the Collateral may be subject to lack of perfection, the requirement of third party consents, local law, including those of foreign jurisdictions, prior Liens and practical problems such as lack of jurisdiction over a Vessel due to its physical location, associated with the realization of the Noteholder Collateral Agent’s Lien on the Collateral. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—Because the issuer and parent are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited.”

The Liens on some of the additional Collateral securing Obligations under the Indenture were not perfected as of the issue date of the old notes. For example, the Titanium Explorer was not delivered to the relevant Guarantor by the issue date of the old notes and some of the instruments and other documents, such as account control agreements and Mortgages, required to perfect or enhance the priority of a perfected security interest in certain types of Collateral (e.g., the Titanium Explorer, the earnings from the Petrobras Drilling Contract, deposit accounts and securities accounts) were not delivered on or prior to the issue date of the old notes. For so long as, and to the extent, these Liens remain unperfected, holders of the notes may not be able to realize the full value of the security interest in such Collateral if their position as secured creditors is challenged by another party.

61

Additionally, the Noteholder Collateral Agent may need to evaluate the impact of the potential liabilities before determining to foreclose on the Vessels, on any assignment of Equity Interests or on any Collateral consisting of any real property because a secured creditor that holds a Lien on any thereof may be held liable under environmental laws for the costs of remediating or preventing releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances from vessels or at such real property. Consequently, the Noteholder Collateral Agent may decline to foreclose on such Collateral or exercise remedies available if it does not receive indemnification to its satisfaction from the holders of the notes.

Subject to the restrictions on incurring Indebtedness and granting Liens in respect thereof in the Indenture, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Restricted Subsidiaries will also have the right, among other things, to incur Indebtedness, including, without limitation, Capital Lease Obligations and mortgage and purchase money obligations and acquire assets with the proceeds of such Indebtedness, which assets could be subject to Liens that secures such Indebtedness. To the extent third parties’ hold Liens (whether or not such Liens are Permitted Liens), such third parties may have rights and remedies with respect to the property subject to such Liens that, if exercised, could adversely affect the value of the Collateral or the Noteholder Collateral Agent’s remedies. By its nature, some or all of the Collateral will be illiquid and may have no readily ascertainable market value and any sale of such Collateral separately from the assets of the Issuer and the Guarantors as a whole may not be feasible. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Collateral can be sold in a short period of time, if at all. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—There may not be sufficient collateral to pay all or any portion of the notes.” The enforceability of any of the arrangements set forth in any intercreditor agreement may be subject to the application of insolvency laws outside the United States. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—Foreclosing on the collateral located outside the United States may be difficult due to the laws of certain jurisdictions.”

Withholding Taxes

All payments made on behalf of the Issuer or any Guarantor under or with respect to the notes or the Note Guarantees must be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Specified Tax Jurisdiction or by any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax (or the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any successor of the Issuer or any Guarantor) (hereinafter “Taxes”), unless the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor, as applicable, are required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof by the relevant government authority or agency. If the Issuer or any Guarantor (or any successor of any of them), as applicable, are so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the notes or the Note Guarantee, the Issuer or such Guarantor (or any successor of any of them), as applicable, will be required to pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each holder (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount the holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to payments made to a holder (an “Excluded Holder”) in respect of a beneficial owner (i) which is subject to such Taxes by reason of its being connected with any Specified Tax Jurisdiction otherwise than by the mere holding of notes or the receipt of payments thereunder (or under the related Note Guarantee), (ii) which presents any note for payment of principal more than 30 days after the later of (x) the date on which payment first became due and (y) if the full amount payable has not been received by the Trustee on or prior to such due date, the date on which, the full amount payable having been so received, notice to that effect shall have been given to the holders by the Trustee, except to the extent that the holder would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting such note for payment on the last day of the applicable 30-day period, (iii) which failed duly and timely to comply with a reasonable, timely request of the Issuer to provide information, documents or other evidence concerning the holder’s nationality, residence, entitlement to treaty benefits, identity or connection with any Specified Tax Jurisdiction or any political subdivision or authority thereof, if and to the extent that due and timely compliance with such request would have reduced or eliminated any Taxes as to which Additional Amounts would have

62

otherwise been payable to such holder but for this clause (iii), (iv) on account of any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or other similar Tax, (v) which is a fiduciary, a partnership or not the beneficial owner of any payment on a note, if and to the extent that any beneficiary or settlor of such fiduciary, any partner in such partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment (as the case may be) would not have been entitled to receive Additional Amounts with respect to such payment if such beneficiary, settlor, partner or beneficial owner had been the holder of such note, (vi) on account of Taxes imposed on a payment to an individual and required to be made pursuant to the European Union Directive on the taxation of savings, which was adopted on June 3, 2003, or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, that directive, (vii) to the extent the Additional Amount relates to any Taxes imposed on a note presented for payment by or on behalf of a holder who would have been able to avoid that withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant note to another paying agent in a member state of the European Union, or (viii) any combination of the foregoing numbered clauses of this proviso. The Issuer or any applicable Guarantor (or any successor of any of them), as applicable, will also make such withholding or deduction and remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority as and when required in accordance with applicable law. The Issuer or any applicable Guarantor (or any successor of any of them), as applicable, will furnish to the Trustee, within 30 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Issuer or such Guarantor (or any successor of any of them), as applicable, (i) in such form as provided in the normal course by the taxing authority imposing such Taxes and as is reasonably available to the Issuer or such Guarantor (or any successor of any of them), as applicable, and (ii) certified by such taxing authority (or, if no such certification is available from such taxing authority, then by means of an officer’s certificate from the Issuer or such Guarantor (or any successor of any of them), as applicable). The Trustee shall thereafter make such evidence available to the holders upon request. The Issuer or any Guarantor (or any successor of any of them), as applicable, will upon written request of each holder (other than an Excluded Holder), reimburse each such holder for the amount of (i) any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such holder as a result of payments made under or with respect to the notes, the Note Guarantee or a mortgaged Vessel, as applicable, and (ii) any Taxes imposed with respect to any such reimbursement under the immediately preceding clause (i), but excluding any Taxes on such holder’s net income, so that the net amount received by such holder after such reimbursement will not be less than the net amount the holder would have received if Taxes (other than such Taxes on such holder’s net income) on such reimbursement had not been imposed.

Whenever in the Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, (a) the payment of principal, (b) purchase or redemption prices in connection with a purchase or redemption of notes, (c) interest or (d) any other amount payable on or with respect to any of the notes, or any payment pursuant to the Note Guarantee, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this section to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

The foregoing obligations shall survive any defeasance or discharge of the Indenture.

The Issuer or the Guarantors will pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise in any jurisdiction from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of the notes, the Note Guarantee or a Mortgage or other Collateral Agreement or any other document or instrument in relation thereto, or the receipt of any payments with respect to the notes, the Note Guarantee or a Mortgage or other Collateral Agreement, excluding such taxes, charges or similar levies imposed by any jurisdiction outside of any Specified Tax Jurisdiction, the jurisdiction of incorporation of any successor of the Issuer or any jurisdiction in which a paying agent is located, and has agreed to indemnify the holders for any such taxes paid by such holders.

Redemption & Offer to Purchase

Optional Redemption

Optional Redemption Prior to February 1, 2013. At any time prior to February 1, 2013, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes, at one time or from time to time, issued

63

under the Indenture at a redemption price equal to 111.500% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the applicable Redemption Date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that:

(1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of notes originally issued under the Indenture (excluding notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and

(2) the redemption occurs within 45 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

Optional Redemption On and After February 1, 2013. On or after February 1, 2013, the Issuer may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at one time or from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the notes redeemed, to the applicable Redemption Date, if redeemed during the periods indicated below, subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date:

For the Period Below	Percentage
From February 1, 2013 to July 31, 2013		108.625	%
From August 1, 2013 to July 31, 2014		105.750	%
August 1, 2014 and thereafter		100.000	%

Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable Redemption Date.

Optional Redemption Prior to February 1, 2013. At any time prior to February 1, 2013, the Issuer may also, at its option, redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at one time or from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date in respect of then outstanding notes.

Optional Redemption for Changes in Withholding Taxes

At any time, the Issuer may redeem all, but not less than all, of the notes, on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in the event that the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, has become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the notes, any Additional Amounts as a result of a change in or an amendment to the laws (including any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of any Specified Tax Jurisdiction (or any relevant jurisdiction, political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), or any change in or amendment to any official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after the date of the Indenture, and the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, cannot avoid such obligation by taking reasonable measures available to them; provided that, (1) the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith that the aggregate amount of such Additional Amounts would create additional annual costs in excess of 0.50% of the aggregate principal amount of notes then outstanding; and (2) (a) no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the notes or the Note Guarantee were then due, and (b) at the time any such redemption notice is given, such obligation to pay Additional Amounts must remain in effect. Prior to any redemption of the notes, the Issuer will be required to deliver to the Trustee (i) an officer’s certificate stating that (x) the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, cannot avoid obligations to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to them and (y) the

64

Issuer is otherwise entitled to effect such redemption and attaching the resolutions of the Board of Directors of Parent as to additional annual costs described above and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing stating that the Issuer would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change in tax laws or regulations and, in the case of (i) and (ii), stating that the conditions precedent to the right of redemption have occurred. No such notice of redemption may be given more than 60 days before or more than 270 days after the Issuer or any Guarantors, as the case may be, first becomes liable or aware of the liability to pay any Additional Amounts as a result of a change or amendment described above.

Special Mandatory Redemption

Total Loss of a Vessel

If there is a total loss of a Vessel, then, upon the occurrence or happening of any such event, the Issuer shall be required to redeem notes equal in principal amount to the insurance proceeds received in respect of such loss (rounded to the nearest $1,000) issued under the Indenture upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes redeemed to the applicable Redemption Date.

Change of Control

If a Change of Control occurs, each holder of notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to a minimum amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000) of that holder’s notes pursuant to a change of control offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in the Indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will offer a payment (the “Change of Control Payment”) in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes repurchased to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within ten business days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will mail a notice to the Trustee and each holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase notes on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice. The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

On or before the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful:

(1) accept for payment all notes or portions of notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(2) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all notes or portions of notes properly tendered; and

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the notes properly accepted together with an officers’ certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of notes or portions of notes being purchased by the Issuer.

The paying agent will promptly mail to each holder of notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

65

The provisions described above that require the Issuer to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of the Indenture are applicable. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the holders of the notes to require that the Issuer repurchase or redeem the notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.

The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to the Indenture as described above under the caption “—Redemption & Offer to Purchase,” unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of the properties or assets of (a) Parent, the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole or (b) the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of notes to require the Issuer to repurchase its notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of (a) Parent, the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole or (b) the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in either case, to another Person or group may be uncertain.

The Change of Control provisions of the notes may in certain circumstances make it more difficult or discourage a sale or takeover of the Issuer or Parent and, thus, the removal of incumbent management. Subject to the limitations discussed below, the Issuer and/or Parent could, in the future, enter into certain transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or other recapitalizations, that would not constitute a Change of Control under the Indenture, but that could increase the amount of Indebtedness outstanding at such time or otherwise affect the Issuer’s or Parent’s capital structure or credit ratings. Restrictions on the Issuer’s and Parent’s ability to incur additional Indebtedness are contained in the “Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” and “Restricted Payments” covenants. Such restrictions in the Indenture can be waived only with the consent of holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes then outstanding. Except for the limitations contained in such covenants, however, the Indenture does not contain any covenants or provisions that may afford holders of the notes protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction.

Future agreements governing Indebtedness of Parent, the Issuer or their respective Subsidiaries may contain prohibitions of certain events, including events that would constitute a Change of Control or an Asset Sale and including repurchases or other prepayments in respect of the notes. The exercise by the holders of notes of their right to require the Issuer to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control or Asset Sale, in connection with an Excess Cash Flow Offer or upon a Special Mandatory Redemption could cause a default under these other agreements, even if the Change of Control or Asset Sale, the requirement to make an Excess Cash Flow Offer or the event giving rise to the Special Mandatory Redemption itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchases or redemption on Parent, the Issuer or their respective Subsidiaries. In the event a Change of Control, Asset Sale, the requirement to make an Excess Cash Flow Offer or event giving rise to the Special Mandatory Redemption occurs at a time when the Issuer is prohibited from purchasing or redeeming notes, the Issuer could seek the consent of its other applicable debt holders or lenders to purchase the notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If the Issuer does not obtain a consent or repay those borrowings, the Issuer will remain prohibited from purchasing notes. In that case, the Issuer’s failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture, which could, in turn, constitute a default under other Indebtedness of the Issuer. Finally, the Issuer’s ability to pay cash to the holders of notes upon a repurchase or redemption may be limited by the Issuer’s then existing financial resources. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—The Issuer may not be able to repurchase the notes with cash upon a change of control or in connection with an offer to repurchase the notes as a result of an asset sale or an excess cash flow offer as required by the indenture.”

66

Asset Sales

The Issuer will not, and neither Parent nor the Issuer will permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, consummate the sale, lease (except under an Internal Charter or a Drilling Contract), conveyance or other disposition of any Vessel or any right to a Vessel or a construction contract respecting the construction of a Vessel. In addition, the Issuer will not, and neither Parent nor the Issuer will permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, consummate any other Asset Sale unless:

(1) the Issuer or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(2) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash; provided, however, to the extent that any disposition in such Asset Sale was of Collateral, the non-cash consideration received is pledged as Collateral under the Collateral Agreements contemporaneously with such sale, in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture.

For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(a) any liabilities, as shown on the Issuer’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets so long as the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary are released from further liability;

(b) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are contemporaneously, subject to ordinary settlement periods, converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and

(c) any stock or assets of the kind referred to in clauses (2) or (4) of the next paragraph of this covenant. Any Asset Sale pursuant to an Involuntary Transfer shall not be required to satisfy the conditions set forth in clauses (1) and (2) of the first paragraph of this covenant.

Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale (including, without limitation, an Involuntary Transfer), the Issuer or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply such Net Proceeds:

(1) to repay Indebtedness, including notes and permanent reductions of Obligations under any Credit Agreement, but excluding repayment of revolving Obligations under any Credit Agreement;

(2) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business of the Issuer, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, such Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;

(3) to make a capital expenditure for the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(4) to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in the Issuer’s Permitted Business.

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Issuer may invest the Net Proceeds in cash and Cash Equivalents.

Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the third paragraph of this covenant will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Issuer will, within five business days thereof, make an offer (the “Asset Sale Offer”) to all holders of notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the notes containing provisions similar to those

67

set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements; provided that pending any such application, the proceeds of the Asset Sale, whether assets, property or cash, are subject to a Lien under the Collateral Agreements. If the aggregate principal amount of notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the notes and the Issuer shall select such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

The Issuer will not, and neither Parent nor the Issuer will permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into or suffer to exist any agreement that would place any restriction of any kind (other than pursuant to law or regulation) on the ability of the Issuer to make an Asset Sale Offer.

The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of the Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

Excess Cash Flow Offer

After the end of each semi-annual period ending June 30 and December 31 with respect to which the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries have Excess Cash Flow (commencing with the semi-annual period ending June 30, 2011), the Issuer shall offer to repurchase all or any part of that holder’s notes, in minimum amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000, at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of repurchase), with (a) for any semi-annual period in which the ratio of total Indebtedness to Consolidated Cash Flow for the Issuer is greater than or equal to 2.5 to 1, the greater of (i) the amount that is equal to 75% of such Excess Cash Flow of the Issuer and (ii) $30.0 million, or (b) for any semi–annual period in which the ratio of total Indebtedness to Consolidated Cash Flow for the Issuer is less than 2.5 to 1, the amount that is 50% of such Excess Cash Flow of the Issuer (less the face amount of any open market purchases and any redemptions of notes pursuant to the Indenture made during such semi-annual period).

Within (a) 60 days after the end of any semi-annual period ending on June 30 and (b) 105 days after the end of any semi-annual period ending on December 31, in each case, for which an Excess Cash Flow Offer is required to be made in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the Issuer will send a notice to each holder of notes and the Trustee describing the offer to repurchase notes with Excess Cash Flow (the “Excess Cash Flow Offer”) and offering to purchase notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent. The Issuer will be required to purchase notes validly tendered in response to an Excess Cash Flow Offer in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture and such notice. The Issuer will not be required to make an Excess Cash Flow Offer in any semi-annual period referred to in clause (b) of the preceding paragraph if the Excess Cash Flow for such relevant semi-annual period is less than $5.0 million. With respect to each Excess Cash Flow Offer, the Issuer will be entitled to reduce the applicable amount of the Excess Cash Flow Offer (the “Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount”) with respect theretofore by the aggregate repurchase price of any notes repurchased by the Issuer in the open market or redeemed by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture (to the extent such amount has not previously reduced any Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount). If the aggregate principal amount of notes tendered pursuant to an Excess Cash Flow Offer exceeds the

68

Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount, the Trustee will select the notes to be accepted for purchase on a pro rata basis. If the aggregate repurchase price of notes tendered pursuant to an Excess Cash Flow Offer is less than the applicable Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount, the Issuer may, subject to the other provisions of the Indenture, use any such Excess Cash Flow for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture.

The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of notes pursuant to an Excess Cash Flow Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with these provisions of the Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their obligations under these provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

Selection and Notice

If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select notes for redemption on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee considers fair and appropriate, unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange or depositary requirements.

No notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notices of redemption may not be conditional.

If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that note will state the portion of the principal amount of that note that is to be redeemed. A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original note will be issued in the name of the holder of notes upon cancellation of the original note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on notes or portions of notes called for redemption.

Certain Covenants

Restricted Payments

The Issuer will not, and neither Parent nor the Issuer will permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(1) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of Equity Interests of the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of the Issuer’s, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries’ or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer’s Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer and other than dividends or distributions payable to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary);

(2) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Issuer) any Equity Interests of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer;

(3) make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness of the Issuer that is contractually subordinated to the notes or to any Note Guarantee (excluding any intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Issuer and any of the Restricted Subsidiaries) or any Indebtedness of any Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary (excluding any intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Issuer and any of the Restricted Subsidiaries), except a payment of regularly scheduled interest or principal at the Stated Maturity thereof; or

69

(4) make any Restricted Investment

(all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

(1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment;

(2) the Issuer would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made on the first day of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the applicable ratio of Indebtedness to Consolidated Cash Flow test set forth in clause (b) of the first paragraph of the “Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” covenant; and

(3) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries since the date of the Indenture (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4), (6), (7) and (8) of the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

(a) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries on a combined or consolidated basis, as the case may be, for the period (taken as one accounting period) from the first day of the first fiscal quarter commencing after the date of the Indenture to the end of the Issuer’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit); plus

(b) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Issuer since the date of the Indenture as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Issuer (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of the Issuer that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary of the Issuer); plus

(c) to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after the date of the Indenture is sold for cash or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash, the lesser of (i) the cash return of capital with respect to such Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any) and (ii) the initial amount of such Restricted Investment; plus

(d) to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary designated as such after the date of the Indenture is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary after the date of the Indenture, the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of Parent’s or the Issuer’s Investment in such Subsidiary, as the case may be, as of the date of such redesignation or (ii) such Fair Market Value as of the date on which such Subsidiary was originally designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the date of the Indenture; plus

(e) 50% of any dividends received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary after the date of the Indenture from an Unrestricted Subsidiary, to the extent that such dividends were not otherwise included in the Consolidated Net Income of the Issuer for such period.

So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, the preceding provisions will not prohibit:

(1) the payment of any dividend or distribution or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend or distribution or giving of the redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of declaration or notice, the dividend, distribution or redemption payment would have complied with the provisions of the Indenture;

70

(2) the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Issuer) of, Equity Interests of the Issuer (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the substantially concurrent contribution of common equity capital to the Issuer; provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment will be excluded from clause (3)(b) of the preceding paragraph;

(3) the repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is contractually subordinated to the notes or to any Note Guarantee with the net cash proceeds from a substantially concurrent incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

(4) the payment of any dividend (or, in the case of any partnership or limited liability company, any similar distribution) by a Restricted Subsidiary to the holders of its Equity Interests on a pro rata basis;

(5) the declaration and payment of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary issued after the date of the Indenture in accordance with the applicable ratio of Indebtedness to Consolidated Cash Flow test set forth in clause (b) of the first paragraph of the “Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” covenant;

(6) Permitted Parent Payments; and

(7) Permitted Operating Expense and Tax Reimbursements.

The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The Fair Market Value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant will be determined by the Board of Directors of Parent whose resolution with respect thereto will be delivered to the Trustee. Such Board of Directors’ determination must be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if the Fair Market Value exceeds $10.0 million.

Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock

Neither Parent nor the Issuer will, and neither of them will permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any Other Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), none of Parent, the Issuer, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any Other Guarantor will issue any Disqualified Stock and the Issuer will not, and neither Parent nor the Issuer will permit, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any Other Guarantor to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that:

(a) Parent may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, if the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.0 to 1; or

(b) the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock or other shares of preferred stock, if the ratio of total Indebtedness to Consolidated Cash Flow for the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or other shares of preferred stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been less than 2.5 to 1,

in each case determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or other shares of preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, on the first day of such four-quarter period.

71

The first paragraph of this covenant will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

(1) the incurrence by the Issuer and the Guarantors of (a) additional Indebtedness and letters of credit under a Credit Agreement (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Issuer and the Guarantors thereunder) and (b) additional notes and related Note Guarantees issued under the Indenture in a maximum aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) not to exceed $25.0 million;

(2) the incurrence by the Issuer and any Guarantor of Indebtedness represented by the notes and the related Note Guarantees issued on the Issue Date and the exchange notes and related Note Guarantees to be issued pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement;

(3) the incurrence by Parent of Existing Indebtedness;

(4) the incurrence by Parent of the F3 Capital Note on the Issue Date in the principal amount not to exceed $60.0 million and the payment, or accretion, of interest on the F3 Capital Note pursuant to the terms of such F3 Capital Note;

(5) the incurrence by the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries, in an aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (5), not to exceed $5.0 million at any time outstanding; provided that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur an additional $5.0 million of Capital Lease Obligations at any one time outstanding to the extent that any operating leases are redesignated as Capital Lease Obligations for accounting purposes;

(6) Indebtedness of (a) Parent or (b) the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries incurred and outstanding on or prior to the date on which a new Subsidiary was acquired by Parent, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness incurred in contemplation of, or in connection with, the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Subsidiary became a Subsidiary of or was otherwise acquired by Parent, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary); provided, however, that (a) on the date that such Subsidiary is acquired by, or is merged into the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, Parent or the Issuer, as applicable, would have been able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the applicable ratio set forth in clause (a) or (b), as the case may be, of the first paragraph of this covenant after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (6); and (b) the new Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and a Guarantor;

(7) the incurrence by Parent, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by the Indenture to be incurred under the first paragraph of this covenant or clause (2), (3), (4) or this clause (7);

(8) the incurrence by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

(a) if the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the notes and the Note Guarantees; and

(b) any (i) subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, or (ii) sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, will be deemed, in each

72

case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (8);

(9) the incurrence by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business;

(10) the guarantee by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this covenant; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the notes, then the guarantee shall be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;

(11) the incurrence by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness in respect of workers’ compensation claims, self-insurance obligations, bankers’ acceptances, and performance and surety bonds in the ordinary course of business;

(12) the incurrence by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is covered within five business days;

(13) the incurrence by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness arising from agreements providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, or guarantees or letters of credit, surety bonds or performance bonds securing any obligations of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to such agreements, in any case incurred in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or Restricted Subsidiary (other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Restricted Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition), so long as the amount does not exceed the gross proceeds actually received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such disposition;

(14) the incurrence by Parent, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (14), not to exceed $10.0 million;

(15) the incurrence, from time to time in one or more offerings, by Parent of up to $125,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness convertible into ordinary shares of Parent, the proceeds of which will be used to invest in Parent’s business; and

(16) the incurrence by the Issuer and the Guarantors of additional Indebtedness represented by additional notes not to exceed $775.0 million in aggregate principal amount and the related Note Guarantees for the purpose of consummating the Dragonquest Transactions (such additional notes are also referred to in this prospectus as the “old notes”).

None of Parent, the Issuer, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any Other Guarantor will incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Parent, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary or Other Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior Lien basis.

For purposes of determining compliance with this “Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” covenant, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (14) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, Parent, the Issuer or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this covenant. The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in

73

accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant; provided, in each such case, that the amount of any such accrual, accretion or payment is included in Consolidated Interest Expense of the Issuer as accrued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that Parent, the Issuer or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

(1) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

(2) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

(3) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

(a) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

(b) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

Liens

Neither Parent nor the Issuer will, and neither of them will permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any Other Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.

Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries

Neither Parent nor the Issuer will, and neither of them will permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any Other Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or Other Guarantor to:

(1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries;

(2) make loans or advances to the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(3) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries.

However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(1) any Credit Agreement, provided that the encumbrances and restrictions contained therein, including any related collateral documents, and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in the Indenture;

(2) agreements governing Existing Indebtedness as in effect on the Issue Date and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the date of the Indenture;

(3) the Indenture, the notes and Note Guarantees;

(4) applicable law, rule, regulation or order;

74

(5) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of the Indenture to be incurred;

(6) customary non-assignment provisions in contracts and licenses entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(7) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business, mortgage financings and Capital Lease Obligations that impose restrictions on the property purchased or mortgaged or leased of the nature described in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph;

(8) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of any Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending the sale or other disposition;

(9) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

(10) Liens permitted to be incurred under the provisions of the covenant described above under the caption “—Liens” that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

(11) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements, which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of such agreements;

(12) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; and

(13) restrictions contained in, or in request of, Hedging Obligations permitted to be incurred by the Indenture.

Merger, Consolidation; Sale of Assets

Neither Parent nor the Issuer will, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not Parent or the Issuer, as applicable, is the surviving Person); or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of, with respect to Parent, the Issuer, the Restricted Subsidiaries and the Other Guarantors taken as a whole, or, with respect to the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in each case, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless:

(1) either: (a) Parent or the Issuer, as applicable, is the surviving Person; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than Parent or the Issuer, as the case may be) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is a Person organized or existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands, the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia or, in the case of Parent, any other similar jurisdiction so long as neither the laws of any such jurisdiction nor any such transaction would adversely affect the holders of the notes;

(2) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than Parent or the Issuer, as applicable) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of Parent or the Issuer, as applicable, under the notes, Note Guarantees and the other Obligations under the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Collateral Agreements, or

75

applicable, pursuant to a supplemental indenture or an amendment thereto, as applicable, in each case reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Noteholder Collateral Agent, as applicable (it being agreed that if the Issuer merges with or into Parent, Parent must assume all such obligations of the Issuer), provided that, if such Person is a limited liability company or a limited partnership, then Parent, the Issuer or such Person shall have the notes assumed or issued, on a joint and several basis, with a corporation in which it owns 100% of the Equity Interests;

(3) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(4) except with respect to a transaction solely between or among Parent, the Issuer, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any Other Guarantor, Parent, the Issuer or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than Parent or the Issuer), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made would, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred on the first day of the applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the applicable ratio of Indebtedness to Consolidated Cash Flow test set forth in the first paragraph of the “Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” covenant.

In addition, the Issuer will not, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of the properties and assets of it and the Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions to any other Person.

This “Merger, Consolidation; Sale of Assets” covenant will not apply to any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets between or among the Issuer and any Restricted Subsidiary. Clauses (3) and (4) of the first paragraph of this covenant will not apply to a merger of the Issuer with an Affiliate solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in another jurisdiction.

Transactions with Affiliates

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer and any Restricted Subsidiary (each, an “Issuer Affiliate Transaction”). In addition, Parent will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries, which shall be subject to the preceding sentence) to, make any payment to, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries, which shall be subject to the preceding sentence) (each, a “Parent Affiliate Transaction”) unless:

(1) the Parent Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to Parent or the relevant Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by Parent or such Subsidiary with an unrelated Person or, if there is no such comparable transaction, on terms that are fair and reasonable to Parent or such Subsidiary and reflect an arms’ length negotiation; and

(2) Parent delivers to the Trustee:

(a) with respect to any Parent Affiliate Transaction or series of related Parent Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of Parent set forth in an officers’ certificate certifying that such Parent Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant and that such Parent Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of Parent; and

(b) with respect to any Parent Affiliate Transaction or series of related Parent Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $15.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to Parent or such Subsidiary of such Parent Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing.

76

The following items will not be deemed to be Issuer Affiliate Transactions or Parent Affiliate Transactions, as applicable, and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph:

(1) any employment agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto;

(2) payment of reasonable directors’ fees to Persons who are not otherwise Affiliates of Parent;

(3) transactions between or among the Issuer and/or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any Other Guarantor;

(4) transactions between or among Parent and/or any of its Subsidiaries (excluding transactions involving the Issuer, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any Other Guarantor);

(5) loans or advances to employees of Parent in the ordinary course of business not to exceed $1.0 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding;

(6) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) that is an Affiliate of the Issuer solely because the Issuer owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;

(7) Restricted Payments that do not violate the provisions described above under the caption “—Restricted Payments”;

(8) any agreement as in effect on the Issue Date or any amendments, renewals or extensions of any such agreement (so long as such amendments, renewals or extensions are not less favorable to the holders of the notes);

(9) transactions between or among any Excluded Parent Subsidiary, on the one hand and Parent and any of its other Subsidiaries (excluding transactions involving the Issuer, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any Other Guarantor), on the other hand, provided that such transaction is entered into in the ordinary course of business and on an arm’s length basis and that any such transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of Parent pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of Parent set forth in an officers’ certificate; and

(10) the Dragonquest Acquisition with Valencia and any other applicable Affiliate of Valencia, provided that Parent receives an opinion that the purchase price to be paid to Valencia in the Dragonquest Acquisition is fair to the disinterested stockholders of Parent from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing, and based on such opinion, the Board of Directors of Parent approves the Dragonquest Acquisition.

Business Activities

Neither Parent nor the Issuer will, and neither of them will permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any Other Guarantor to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Additional Note Guarantees

If (a) the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries acquire or create another Subsidiary, (b) Parent acquires or creates another Subsidiary to directly or indirectly own the Equity Interests of the Issuer, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any Other Guarantor, (c) any Subsidiary of the Issuer that is not already a Guarantor guarantees any Credit Agreement or owns any Vessel, (d) any Subsidiary of Parent or the Issuer that is not already a Guarantor is the subject of a Contract Winning Trigger or (e) any Subsidiary of Parent or the Issuer that is not

77

already a Guarantor becomes an Internal Charterer after the Issue Date, then Parent or the Issuer, as applicable, will (1) cause that Subsidiary to (a) execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to which it will become a Guarantor, (b) execute amendments to the Collateral Agreements and cause the same to be perfected pursuant to which it becomes subject to the obligations of a Guarantor thereunder and pledge its assets, including the Equity Interests it owns in any of its Subsidiaries, pursuant to the Collateral Agreements and (c) execute an amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement to join that agreement in the same way and capacity as the other Guarantors and (2) deliver an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, in each case within 20 business days of the date on which the Subsidiary was acquired or created or otherwise becomes subject to this covenant; provided that any applicable Subsidiary may be released from its Note Guarantee and related pledge following the occurrence of a Contract Unwind Trigger provided the conditions to that release are satisfied. In addition, to the extent any such Subsidiary (x) is not already a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Issuer and (y) does not constitute an Other Guarantor, Parent shall cause the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary to be transferred to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary within 20 business days of such Subsidiary executing a Note Guarantee.

Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries

(1) The Board of Directors of Parent may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if:

(a) the Issuer could make the Restricted Payment which is deemed to occur upon such designation by the “Restricted Payments” covenant equal to the appropriate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by Parent, the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries in such Subsidiary at the time of such designation;

(b) such Restricted Subsidiary meets the definition of an “Unrestricted Subsidiary”;

(c) the designation would not constitute or cause (with or without the passage of time) a Default or Event of Default or no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation; and

(d) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of Parent giving effect to such designation and an officers’ certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by the “Restricted Payments” covenant.

If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by Parent, the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the “Restricted Payments” covenant or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Issuer.

If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary designated as such would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any other Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the definition of an “Unrestricted Subsidiary,” then such Subsidiary will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of the Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under the “Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” covenant, the Issuer or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary will be in default of such covenant.

In connection with the occurrence of a Contract Unwind Trigger, Parent or the Issuer may cause an applicable Restricted Subsidiary to be designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary if it meets the conditions set forth in clause (1) of this covenant.

(2) The Board of Directors of Parent may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary or Subsidiary of Parent to be a Restricted Subsidiary if:

(a) the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries could incur the Indebtedness which is deemed to be incurred upon such designation under the “Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” covenant, equal to the total Indebtedness of such Subsidiary calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period;

78

(b) the designation would not constitute or cause a Default or Event of Default; and

(c) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of Parent giving effect to such designation and an officers’ certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions, including the incurrence of Indebtedness under the covenant “Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” covenant.

Parent or the Issuer shall be required to designate each applicable Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary and a Guarantor and pledge its assets and property as Collateral pursuant to the Additional Note Guarantees covenant, upon the occurrence of a Contract Winning Trigger and shall be required to comply with the conditions set forth in this clause (2) in connection therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, no direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent may become a Restricted Subsidiary for purposes of the Indenture if such Subsidiary is a Subsidiary of Parent but not the Issuer.

Payments for Consent

Neither Parent nor the Issuer will, and neither of them will permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, any Other Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any holder of notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture or the notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all holders of the notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

Reports

Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any notes are outstanding, Parent or the Issuer will furnish to the holders of notes or cause the Trustee to furnish to the holders of notes, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations:

(1) all quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K that would be required to be filed with the SEC on such forms if Parent or the Issuer were required to file such reports under the Exchange Act;

(2) all current reports on Form 8-K that would be required to be filed with the SEC on such form if Parent or the Issuer were required to file such reports under the Exchange Act; and

(3) in a footnote to Parent’s financial statements included in quarterly or annual reports to be filed or furnished pursuant to clauses (1) and (2) of this paragraph, the financial information required to comply with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act.

All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports. Each annual report on Form 10-K will include a report on the Issuer’s consolidated financial statements by Parent’s certified independent accountants. In addition, Parent will post the reports on its website within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations applicable to such reports and Parent will file a copy of each of the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the SEC for public availability within those time periods (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing). Parent will be deemed to have filed such reports with the Trustee if Parent has filed such reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system.

If at any time the Issuer is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, Parent or the Issuer will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in the preceding paragraphs of this covenant with the SEC within the time periods specified by the SEC for registrants that are non-accelerated filers unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. Neither Parent nor the Issuer will take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept Parent’s or the Issuer’s filings for any reason, Parent or the Issuer will post the reports referred to in the preceding paragraphs on its website within the time periods that would apply to non-accelerated filers if Parent or the Issuer were required to file those reports with the SEC.

79

Parent agrees that, for so long as any notes remain outstanding, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to hold and participate in quarterly conference calls with holders of the notes and securities analysts relating to the financial condition and results of operations of Parent, the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries.

The quarterly and annual reports and financial information required by the preceding paragraphs will include a Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (the “MD&A”) of Parent, which shall include a discussion and analysis of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries. If the Board of Directors of Parent has designated any of the Restricted Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraphs will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and also in the MD&A of the financial condition and results of operations of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

In addition, the Issuer and the Guarantors agree that, for so long as any notes remain outstanding, if at any time they are not required to file with the SEC the reports required by the preceding paragraphs, they will furnish to the holders of notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee shall be for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt thereof shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including Parent or the Issuer, compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on officers’ certificates).

Documents filed by us with the SEC via the EDGAR system will be deemed filed with the Trustee as of the time such documents are filed via EDGAR. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on officers’ certificates).

Events of Default and Remedies

Each of the following is an “Event of Default”:

(1) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest with respect to the notes;

(2) default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the notes;

(3) failure by Parent, the Issuer, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any Other Guarantor, as the case may be, to timely offer to purchase, purchase and pay for notes as required by the provisions described under “—Redemption & Offer to Purchase—Change of Control,” “—Redemption & Offer to Purchase—Asset Sales,” or “—Redemption & Offer to Purchase—Excess Cash Flow Offer,” or to comply with the provisions described under “—Certain Covenants—Restricted Payments,” “—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” or “—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation; Sale of Assets”;

(4) failure by Parent to comply with the obligations set forth in clause (B)(VI) of the second paragraph of the definition of Parent Consolidated Cash Flow within 90 days from the date of occurrence of the event giving rise to the obligations thereunder;

(5) failure by Parent, the Issuer, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any Other Guarantor for 60 days after notice to the Issuer by the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding voting as a single class to comply with any of the other agreements in the Indenture (120 days with respect to the “Reports” covenant subject to the following paragraph);

80

(6) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by Parent, the Issuer, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any Other Guarantor (or the payment of which is guaranteed by Parent, the Issuer, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any Other Guarantor), whether such Indebtedness now exists, or is created after the date of the Indenture, if that default:

(a) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or

(b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity,

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $15.0 million or more;

(7) failure by Parent, the Issuer, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any Other Guarantor to pay final judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of $15.0 million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days after the due date thereof;

(8) breach by the Issuer or any Guarantor of any material representation or warranty or agreement in the Collateral Agreements, the repudiation by the Issuer or any Guarantor of any of its obligations under the Collateral Agreements or the unenforceability of the Collateral Agreements against the Issuer or any Guarantor for any reason;

(9) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee; and

(10) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in the Indenture with respect to Parent, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary, or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary.

Notwithstanding the above, if the Issuer elects, by giving written notice to the Trustee, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with the “Reports” covenant, and/or for failure to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the TIA will, for the 60 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the notes at an annual rate equal to 0.25% of the principal amount of the notes then outstanding over such portion of the 60-day period immediately following such Event of Default during which such Event of Default is continuing (such additional interest, “Default Interest”). In the event the Issuer does not elect to pay the Default Interest, upon an Event of Default to this covenant, the notes will be subject to acceleration as provided above. Any Default Interest that accrues on all outstanding notes from and including the date on which an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with the “Reports” covenant and/or for any failure to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the TIA first occurs to, but not including, the 60th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to such failure shall have been cured or waived) and will be payable in the same manner as any Additional Interest. On such 60th day (or earlier, if the Event of Default relating to such failure is cured or waived prior to such 60th day) such additional interest will cease to accrue and the notes will be subject to acceleration, as provided above, if the Event of Default is continuing. This provision will not affect the rights of holders of notes in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. For all purposes of the Indenture, references to interest means interest under the notes and any Default Interest payable pursuant to this paragraph.

In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to Parent, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, all outstanding notes will become due and payable immediately without

81

further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes may declare all the notes to be due and payable immediately.

Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from holders of the notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, interest or premium.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any holders of notes unless such holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, when due, no holder of a note may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the notes unless:

(1) such holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(2) holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) such holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;

(4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(5) holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the holders of all of the notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium on, or the principal of, the notes.

The Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture. Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders

No present, past or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of Parent, the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary or any Other Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of Parent, the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary or any Other Guarantor under the notes, the Indenture or the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Agreements or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of notes by accepting a note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

82

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

The Issuer may at any time, at the option of the Board of Directors of Parent evidenced by a resolution set forth in an officers’ certificate, elect to have all of its obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Note Guarantees (“Legal Defeasance”) except for:

(1) the rights of holders of outstanding notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium on, such notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;

(2) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the notes concerning issuing temporary notes, registration of notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and

(4) the Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance provisions of the Indenture.

In addition, the Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors released with respect to certain covenants (including its obligation to make Change of Control Offers, Asset Sale Offers and Excess Cash Flow Offers) that are described in the Indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”) and thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events) described under “—Events of Default and Remedies” will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the notes.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

(1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium on, the outstanding notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether the notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (a) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the date of the Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel will confirm that, the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;

83

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than the Indenture) to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;

(6) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an officers’ certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the holders of notes over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or others; and

(7) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Satisfaction and Discharge

The Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all notes issued thereunder, when:

(1) either:

(a) all notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed notes that have been replaced or paid and notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuer, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(b) all notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

(2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;

(3) the Issuer or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under the Indenture; and

(4) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under the Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Issuer must deliver an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Amendment, Supplement and Waiver

Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the Indenture, the notes, the Note Guarantees and the Collateral Agreements may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes).

84

Without the consent of each holder of notes affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not (with respect to any notes held by a non-consenting holder):

(1) reduce the principal amount of notes whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any note or alter the provisions with respect to the purchase or redemption of the notes (other than provisions relating to the covenants described above under “—Redemption & Offer to Purchase”);

(3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any note;

(4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium on, the notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the notes by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

(5) make any note payable in money other than that stated in the notes;

(6) make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of holders of notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium on, the notes;

(7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any note (other than a payment required by one of the covenants described above under the caption “—Redemption & Offer to Purchase”);

(8) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or the Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of the Indenture;

(9) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

The consent of holders representing at least two-thirds of outstanding notes will be required to release all or substantially all of the Collateral otherwise than in accordance with the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements.

Notwithstanding the preceding, without the consent of any holder of notes, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture, the notes, the Note Guarantees, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Collateral Agreements:

(1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

(2) to provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of certificated notes;

(3) to provide for the assumption of the Issuer’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to holders of notes and Note Guarantees in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s or such Guarantor’s assets, as applicable;

(4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the holders of notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such holder;

(5) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA;

(6) to conform the text of the Indenture, the Collateral Agreements, the notes or the Note Guarantees to any provision of this Description of Notes to the extent that such provision in this Description of Notes was intended to be set forth, verbatim or in substance, a provision of the Indenture, the Collateral Agreements, the notes or the Note Guarantees;

85

(7) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the appointment under the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements of a successor Trustee or Noteholder Collateral Agent;

(8) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Indenture, the Collateral Agreements, the notes and the Note Guarantees, provided that the actions pursuant to this clause will not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the notes in any material respect, as determined in good faith by the Issuer;

(9) to enter into additional or supplemental Collateral Agreements;

(10) to release Collateral when permitted or required by the Indenture or the Collateral Agreements;

(11) to provide for the issuance of additional notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture as of the date of the Indenture;

(12) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the notes;

(13) to enter into, and to perfect security interests and Liens granted therein, the Collateral Agreements and transactions contemplated thereby respecting Bahamian registration of the Titanium Explorer and its mortgaging after the Issue Date; or

(14) to accept and consent to, and to take all steps to perfect a security interest under, Collateral Agreements to be granted subsequent to the Issue Date respecting the Dragonquest Construction Contract, Drilling Contracts and Internal Charters.

Concerning the Trustee

If the Trustee becomes a creditor of the Issuer or any Guarantor, the Indenture limits the right of the Trustee to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions. However, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee (if the Indenture has been qualified under the TIA) or resign.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The Indenture provides that in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of any holder of notes, unless such holder has offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

Governing Law

The Indenture provides that it, the notes, the Note Guarantees, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Collateral Agreements will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Additional Information

Anyone who receives this prospectus may obtain a copy of the Indenture or the Collateral Agreements without charge by writing to the Issuer at 777 Post Oak Boulevard, Suite 800, Houston, Texas 77056; Attention: General Counsel.

Book Entry, Delivery and Form

The exchange notes, like the old notes, initially will be represented by one or more exchange notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Global Notes”). The Global Notes will be deposited upon issuance with the Trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), in New York, New York, and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, in each case, for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in DTC as described below. Through and including the 40th day after the later of the commencement of this offering and the closing of this offering (such period through and including such 40th day, the “Restricted Period”), beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Notes may be held only through the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, S.A. (“Clearstream”) (as indirect participants in DTC), unless transferred to a person that takes delivery through a Global Note in accordance with the certification requirements described below.

Except as set forth below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged for definitive notes in registered certificated form (“Certificated Notes”) except in the limited circumstances described below. See “—Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes.” Except in the limited circumstances described below, owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of notes in certificated form.

Depository Procedures

The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream are provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them. The Issuer takes no responsibility for these operations and procedures and urges investors to contact the system or their participants directly to discuss these matters.

DTC has advised the Issuer that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the “Participants”) and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between the Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the initial purchasers), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC’s system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the “Indirect Participants”). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect Participants. The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants.

DTC has also advised the Issuer that, pursuant to procedures established by it:

(1) upon deposit of the Global Notes, DTC will credit the accounts of the Participants designated by the initial purchasers with portions of the principal amount of the Global Notes; and

(2) ownership of these interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership of these interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the Participants) or by the Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interest in the Global Notes).

All interests in a Global Note, including those held through Euroclear or Clearstream, may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC. Those interests held through Euroclear or Clearstream may also be subject to the procedures and requirements of such systems. The laws of some states require that certain Persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note to such Persons will be limited to that extent. Because DTC can act only on behalf of the Participants, which in turn act on behalf of the Indirect Participants, the ability of a Person having beneficial

87

interests in a Global Note to pledge such interests to Persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests.

Except as described below, owners of interests in the Global Notes will not have notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or “holders” thereof under the Indenture for any purpose.

Payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on a Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable to DTC in its capacity as the registered holder under the Indenture. Under the terms of the Indenture, the Issuer and the Trustee will treat the Persons in whose names the notes, including the Global Notes, are registered as the owners of the notes for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:

(1) any aspect of DTC’s records or any Participant’s or Indirect Participant’s records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interest in the Global Notes) or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC’s records or any Participant’s or Indirect Participant’s records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes; or

(2) any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its Participants, or Indirect Participants.

DTC has advised the Issuer that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the notes (including principal and interest), is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the payment on the payment date unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant Participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the principal amount of the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial owners of notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the Trustee or the Issuer. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of the Participants or the Indirect Participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the notes, and the Issuer and the Trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes.

Transfers between the Participants will be effected in accordance with DTC s procedures, and will be settled in same-day funds, and transfers between participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.

Subject to compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the notes described herein, cross-market transfers between the Participants, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC’s rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by their respective depositaries; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (Brussels time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its respective depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant Global Note in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositories for Euroclear or Clearstream.

DTC has advised the Issuer that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the Global Notes and

88

only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an Event of Default under the notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange the Global Notes for legended notes in certificated form, and to distribute such notes to its Participants.

None of the Issuer, the Trustee and any of their respective agents will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes

A Global Note is exchangeable for Certificated Notes if:

(1) DTC (a) notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, the Issuer fails to appoint a successor depositary;

(2) the Issuer, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of the Certificated Notes; or

(3) there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the notes and DTC requests such exchange.

In addition, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be exchanged for Certificated Notes upon prior written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of DTC in accordance with the Indenture. In all cases, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests in Global Notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures) and will bear the applicable restrictive legend unless that legend is not required by applicable law.

Exchange of Certificated Notes for Global Notes

Certificated Notes may not be exchanged for beneficial interests in any Global Note unless the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in the Indenture) to the effect that such transfer will comply with the appropriate transfer restrictions applicable to such notes.

Same Day Settlement and Payment

The Issuer will make payments in respect of the notes represented by the Global Notes (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC or its nominee. The Issuer will make all payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, with respect to Certificated Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holders of the Certificated Notes or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each such holder’s registered address. The notes represented by the Global Notes are expected to be eligible to trade in DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary market trading activity in such notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds. The Issuer expects that secondary trading in any Certificated Notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.

Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or Clearstream participant purchasing an interest in a Global Note from a Participant will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream participant, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear and Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. DTC has advised the Issuer that cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a Global Note

89

by or through a Euroclear or Clearstream participant to a Participant will be received with value on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following DTC’s settlement date.

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to the exchange of the exchange notes for the old notes, but does not purport to be a complete analysis for all potential tax effects. The summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Treasury Regulations, Internal Revenue Service rulings and pronouncements and judicial decisions now in effect, all of which may be subject to change at any time by legislative, judicial or administrative action. These changes may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a holder of the exchange notes. The description does not consider the effect of any applicable foreign, state, local or other tax laws or estate or gift tax considerations. Each holder is encouraged to consult, and depend on, his own tax advisor in analyzing the particular tax consequences of exchanging such holder’s old notes for the exchange notes, including the applicability and effect of any federal, state, local and foreign tax laws.

The exchange of the exchange notes for the old notes will not be a taxable event to a holder for United States federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, a holder will have the same adjusted issue price, adjusted basis and holding period in the exchange notes as it had in the old notes immediately before the exchange.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of exchange notes received in exchange for old notes where such old notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for 120 days after the consummation of the exchange offer, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available upon request to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale.

We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of exchange notes by broker-dealers. Exchange notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the exchange notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such exchange notes. Any broker-dealer that resells exchange notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such exchange notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of exchange notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The enclosed letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the holders of the notes) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the old notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud, willful default, willful neglect, dishonesty or the consequences of committing a crime. Our memorandum and articles of association provide for indemnification of our officers and directors for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud or willful default.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is theretofore unenforceable.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our memorandum and articles of association may discourage securityholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our securityholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

Item 22. Undertakings.

(a) Each undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

4. That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(c) Each undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(d) Each undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
