This TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (together with the Schedules hereto, this “Agreement”) is entered into as of [ ], 2010, by and between XxXxxxxxx International, Inc., a Panamanian corporation (“McDermott”), and The Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxx Company, a Delaware corporation (“B&W”).
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of McDermott has determined that it would be appropriate and desirable for McDermott to distribute (the “Distribution”) on a pro rata basis to the holders of outstanding shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of McDermott all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of B&W owned by McDermott;
WHEREAS, in order to effectuate the foregoing, McDermott and B&W have entered into a Master Separation Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Master Separation Agreement”), which provides, among other things, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, for the separation of the respective businesses of McDermott and B&W and the Distribution, and the execution and delivery of certain other agreements, including this Agreement, in order to facilitate and provide for the foregoing; and
WHEREAS, in order to provide for an orderly transition under the Master Separation Agreement, it will be advisable for McDermott, through members of the MII Group, to provide to B&W certain services described herein for a transitional period.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

SERVICES
Section 2.1 Services.
(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, McDermott, acting directly and/or through its Affiliates and their respective employees, agents, contractors or independent third parties designated by any of them, agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or to cause to be provided services to the B&W Group as set forth in Schedules A through N (including any Additional Services provided in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof, all such services are collectively referred to herein as the “Services”).
(b) At all times during the performance of the Services, all Persons performing such Services (including agents, temporary employees, independent third parties and consultants) shall be construed as being independent from the B&W Group, and such Persons shall not be considered or deemed to be employees of any member of the B&W Group nor entitled to any employee benefits of B&W as a result of this Agreement. The responsibility of such Persons is to perform the Services in accordance with this Agreement and, as necessary, to advise the applicable member of the B&W Group in connection therewith, and such Persons shall not be responsible for decision-making on behalf of any member of the B&W Group. Such Persons shall not be required to report to management of any member of the B&W Group nor be deemed to be under the management or direction of any member of the B&W Group. B&W acknowledges and agrees that, except as may be expressly set forth herein as a Service (including any Additional Services provided in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof) or otherwise expressly set forth in the Master Separation Agreement or an Ancillary Agreement, no member of the MII Group shall be obligated to provide, or cause to be provided, any service or goods to any member of the B&W Group.
2
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, McDermott and members of the MII Group shall not be required to perform Services hereunder or take any actions relating thereto that conflict with or violate any applicable law, contract, license, authorization, certification or permit or XxXxxxxxx’x Code of Business Conduct or other governance policies, as they may be amended from time to time.
Section 2.2 Service Coordinators. Each party will nominate in writing a representative to act as the primary contact with respect to the provision of the Services and the resolution of disputes under this Agreement (each such person, a “Service Coordinator”). The initial Service Coordinators shall be Xx. Xxxx Xxxxxxxx (for XxXxxxxxx) and Mr. Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx (for B&W) (or their designated delegates) for each of McDermott and B&W, respectively. The Service Coordinators shall meet as expeditiously as possible to resolve any dispute hereunder; and any dispute that is not resolved by the Service Coordinators within 45 days shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article V of the Master Separation Agreement. Each party hereto may treat an act of a Service Coordinator of the other party hereto which is consistent with the provisions of this Agreement as being authorized by such other party without inquiring behind such act or ascertaining whether such Service Coordinator had authority to so act; provided, however, that no such Service Coordinator shall have authority to amend this Agreement. McDermott and B&W shall advise each other promptly (in any case no more than three Business Days) in writing of any change in their respective Service Coordinators, setting forth the name of the replacement, and stating that the replacement Service Coordinator is authorized to act for such party in accordance with this Section 2.2.
Section 2.3 Additional Services. B&W may request additional Services (the “Additional Services”) from McDermott by providing written notice. Upon the mutual written agreement as to the nature, cost, duration and scope of such Additional Services, McDermott and B&W shall supplement in writing the Schedules hereto to include such Additional Services. Subject to the other limitations in this Agreement, including the provisions in Section 2.6, but notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3, in addition to providing the Services specified in the Schedules, McDermott, acting directly and/or through its Affiliates and their respective employees, agents, contractors or independent third parties designated by any of them, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or to cause to be provided additional, de minimis administrative support services to the B&W Group as may be requested by any member of the B&W Group from time to time, at no cost beyond the amounts set forth in the Schedules (as the amounts set forth in the Schedules contemplate such additional, de minimis administrative support services); provided, however, that, for any such additional services to be considered de minimis for purposes of this sentence, such additional services shall not require the attention of (i) any one employee of any member of the McDermott Group for more than 2 hours in any single calendar month or (ii) any group of employees of any one or more members of the McDermott Group for more than 30 hours in any single calendar month. Except where the context otherwise indicates or requires, any such additional services referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be “Services” under this Agreement.
Section 2.4 Third Party Services. McDermott shall have the right to hire third-party subcontractors to provide all or part of any Service hereunder; provided, that McDermott shall consult in good faith with B&W regarding the proposed hiring of any third-party subcontractor that has not previously been involved in the activities relating to such Service prior to the date
3
hereof; provided, further, that, in the event such subcontracting is inconsistent with the practice applied by McDermott generally from time to time within its own organization, McDermott shall give notice to B&W of its intent to subcontract any portion of the Services and B&W shall have 20 days (or such lesser period set forth in the notice as may be practicable in the event of exigent circumstances) to determine, in its sole discretion, whether to permit such subcontracting or whether to cancel such Service in accordance with Article VI hereof. If B&W opts to cancel a Service pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, it shall not be liable to McDermott pursuant to Section 6.1 for any costs or expenses McDermott or any member of the MII Group remains obligated to pay to the third-party subcontractor identified in the notice provided by McDermott as described above. McDermott shall not be required to give notice of its intent to subcontract Services to any party listed on Exhibit 2.4 hereto, nor shall B&W have any right to cancel any Service subcontracted to any such listed party pursuant to this Section 2.4 (provided, that this sentence shall not prevent B&W from cancelling any Service pursuant to Section 6.1).
Section 2.5 Standard of Performance; Limitation of Liability.
(a) The Services to be provided hereunder shall be performed with the same general degree of care, at the same general level and at the same general degree of accuracy and responsiveness, as when performed within the McDermott organization (including, for this purpose, B&W and its subsidiaries) prior to the date of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that McDermott and the members of the MII Group are not professional providers of the types of services included in the Services and that McDermott personnel performing Services have other responsibilities and will not be dedicated full-time to performing Services hereunder.
(b) In the event McDermott or any member of the MII Group fails to provide, or cause to be provided, the Services in accordance with the standard of service set forth in Section 2.5(a) or Section 2.5(c), the sole and exclusive remedy of B&W shall be, at B&W’s sole discretion, within 90 days from the date that McDermott or such member of the MII Group first fails to provide such Service, to not pay for such Service; provided that in the event McDermott defaults in the manner described in clause (ii) of Section 7.1, B&W shall have the further rights set forth in Article VII.
(c) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 2.5, NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR CONFORMITY TO ANY REPRESENTATION OR DESCRIPTION), ARE MADE BY MCDERMOTT OR ANY MEMBER OF THE MII GROUP WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SUCH REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY WAIVED AND DISCLAIMED. B&W (ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF EACH OTHER MEMBER OF THE B&W GROUP) HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT B&W OR ANY MEMBER OF THE B&W GROUP MAY OTHERWISE HAVE FOR ANY LOSSES, TO ENFORCE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OR TO PURSUE ANY OTHER REMEDY AVAILABLE IN CONTRACT, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY IN THE EVENT OF ANY NON-PERFORMANCE, INADEQUATE PERFORMANCE, FAULTY PERFORMANCE OR OTHER FAILURE OR BREACH BY MCDERMOTT OR ANY MEMBER OF THE MII
4
GROUP UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, NOTWITHSTANDING THE NEGLIGENCE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT OR ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) OF MCDERMOTT OR ANY MEMBER OF THE MII GROUP OR ANY THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER AND WHETHER DAMAGES ARE ASSERTED IN CONTRACT OR TORT, UNDER FEDERAL, STATE OR NON U.S. LAWS OR OTHER STATUTE OR OTHERWISE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER SHALL NOT EXTEND TO COVER, AND MCDERMOTT SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, SUCH LOSSES CAUSED BY THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF MCDERMOTT OR ANY MEMBER OF THE MII GROUP. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MII GROUP BE LIABLE TO THE B&W GROUP WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR AMOUNTS IN THE AGGREGATE EXCEEDING THE AGGREGATE SERVICE CHARGES PAID HEREUNDER BY THE B&W GROUP.
Section 2.6 Service Boundaries and Scope. Except as provided in a Schedule for a specific Service: (a) McDermott shall be required to provide, or cause to be provided, the Services only at the locations such Services are being provided by any member of the MII Group for any member of the B&W Group immediately prior to the Distribution Date; provided, however, that, to the extent any such Service is to be provided by an employee of McDermott who works in the corporate headquarters of McDermott, such Service shall, to the extent feasible, only be provided by such employee from the corporate headquarters of McDermott; and (b) the Services shall be available only for purposes of conducting the business of the B&W Group substantially in the manner it was conducted immediately prior to the Distribution Date. Except as provided in a Schedule for a specific Service, in providing, or causing to be provided, the Services, McDermott shall not be obligated to: (i) maintain the employment of any specific employee or hire additional employees or third-party service providers; (ii) purchase, lease or license any additional equipment (including computer equipment, furniture, furnishings, fixtures, machinery, vehicles, tools and other tangible personal property), software or other assets, rights or properties; (iii) make modifications to its existing systems or software; (iv) provide any member of the B&W Group with access to any systems or software other than those to which it has authorized access immediately prior to the Distribution Date; or (v) pay any costs related to the transfer or conversion of data of any member of the B&W Group. B&W acknowledges (on its own behalf and on behalf of the other members of the B&W Group) that the employees of McDermott or any other members of the MII Group who may be assisting in the provision of Services hereunder are at-will employees and, as such, may terminate or be terminated from employment with McDermott or any of the other members of the MII Group providing Services hereunder at any time for any reason. In no event shall McDermott or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective employees or agents be required to perform any Services or take any other actions hereunder that conflict with any applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt and except as may hereafter be designated as Additional Services in accordance with Section 2.3, the Services do not include any services required for or as the result of any business acquisitions, divestitures, start-ups or terminations by the B&W Group. To the extent B&W desires McDermott to provide any services in connection with any such acquisitions, divestitures, start-ups or terminations, B&W shall follow the procedures for requesting Additional Services pursuant to Section 2.3.
5
Section 2.7 Cooperation. McDermott and B&W shall cooperate with one another and provide such further assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the provision of Services hereunder.
Section 2.8 Transitional Nature of Services; Changes. Subject to Sections 2.3 and 2.5, the parties acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services and that McDermott may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services.
Section 2.9 Access. During the term of this Agreement and for so long as any Services are being provided to B&W by McDermott, B&W will provide McDermott and its authorized representatives reasonable access, during regular business hours upon reasonable notice, to B&W and its employees, representatives, facilities and books and records as McDermott and its representatives may reasonably require in order to perform such Services.
ARTICLE III
SERVICE CHARGES
Section 3.1 Compensation. Subject to the specific terms of this Agreement, the compensation to be received by McDermott for each Service provided hereunder will be the fees set forth on the Schedule relating to the particular Service, subject to any escalation provided for on such Schedule. In consideration for the provision of a Service, each member of the B&W Group receiving such Service shall pay to McDermott or, at the election of McDermott, the member of the MII Group providing such Service, the applicable fee for such Service as set forth on the attached Schedules.
ARTICLE IV
PAYMENT
Section 4.1 Payment. Except as otherwise provided in a Schedule for a specific Service, charges for Services shall be invoiced monthly by McDermott or, at its option, the member of the MII Group providing the Service. Except as otherwise provided in a Schedule for a specific Service, B&W shall make the corresponding payment no later than 60 days after receipt of the invoice. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, B&W shall remit funds in payment of invoices provided hereunder either by wire transfer or ACH (Automated Clearing House) in accordance with the payment instructions set forth in Schedule 4.1. Each invoice shall be directed to the B&W Service Coordinator or such other person designated in writing from time to time by such Service Coordinator. The invoice shall set forth in reasonable detail the Services rendered and the invoice amount for the Services rendered for the period covered by such invoice. Interest will accrue on any unpaid amounts at ten percent (10%) per annum (compounded monthly) or, if less, the maximum non-usurious rate of interest permitted by applicable law, until such amounts, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, are paid in full. All timely payments under this Agreement shall be made without early payment discount. Any preexisting obligation to make payment for Services provided hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement. If McDermott incurs any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including any incremental license fees incurred by McDermott in connection with performance of the Services and any travel expenses incurred at the request or with the consent of B&W) or remits funds to a third-party on behalf of B&W, in either case in connection with
6
the rendering of Services, then McDermott shall include such amount on its monthly invoice to B&W, with reasonable supporting documentation, and B&W shall reimburse that amount to McDermott pursuant to this Section 4.1 as part of its next monthly payment.
Section 4.2 Payment Disputes. B&W may object to any amounts for any Service at any time before, at the time of, or after payment is made, provided such objection is made in writing to McDermott within 120 days following the date of the disputed invoice. B&W shall timely pay the disputed items in full while resolution of the dispute is pending; provided, however, that McDermott shall pay interest at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum (compounded monthly) on any amounts it is required to return to B&W upon resolution of the dispute. Payment of any amount shall not constitute approval thereof. The Service Coordinators shall meet as expeditiously as possible to resolve any dispute. Any dispute that is not resolved by the Service Coordinators within 45 days shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution and arbitration procedures set forth in Article V of the Master Separation Agreement. Neither party (or any member of its respective Group) shall have a right of set-off against the other party (or any member of its respective Group) for billed amounts hereunder. Upon written request, McDermott will provide to B&W reasonable detail and support documentation to permit B&W to verify the accuracy of an invoice.
Section 4.3 Review of Charges; Error Correction. McDermott shall maintain accurate books and records (including invoices of third parties) related to the Services sufficient to calculate, and allow B&W to verify, the amounts owed under this Agreement. From time to time until 120 days following the termination of this Agreement, B&W shall have the right to review, and McDermott shall provide access to, such books and records to verify the accuracy of such amounts, provided that such reviews shall not occur more frequently than once per calendar quarter. Each such review shall be conducted during normal business hours and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the operations of McDermott. If, as a result of any such review, B&W determines that it overpaid any amount to McDermott, then B&W may raise an objection pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2. B&W shall bear the cost and expense of any such review. McDermott shall make adjustments to charges as required to reflect the discovery of errors or omissions in charges.
Section 4.4 Taxes. All transfer taxes, excises, fees or other charges (including value added, sales, use or receipts taxes, but not including a tax on or measured by the income, net or gross revenues, business activity or capital of a member of the MII Group), or any increase therein, now or hereafter imposed directly or indirectly by law upon any fees paid hereunder for Services, which a member of the MII Group is required to pay or incur in connection with the provision of Services hereunder (“Tax”), shall be passed on to B&W as an explicit surcharge and shall be paid by B&W in addition to any Service fee payment, whether included in the applicable Service fee payment, or added retroactively. If B&W submits to McDermott a timely and valid resale or other exemption certificate acceptable to McDermott and sufficient to support the exemption from Tax, then such Tax will not be added to the Service fee payable pursuant to Article III; provided, however, that if a member of the MII Group is ever required to pay such Tax, B&W will promptly reimburse McDermott for such Tax, including any interest, penalties and attorney’s fees related thereto. The parties will cooperate to minimize the imposition of any Taxes.
7
Section 4.5 Records. McDermott shall maintain true and correct records of all receipts, invoices, reports and such other documents relating to the Services hereunder in accordance with its standard accounting practices and procedures, consistently applied. McDermott shall retain such accounting records and make them available to B&W’s authorized representatives and auditors for a period of not less than one year from the close of each fiscal year of McDermott; provided, however, that McDermott may, at its option, transfer such accounting records to B&W upon termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE V
TERM
Section 5.1 Term. Subject to Articles VI and VII, the MII Group shall provide the specific Services to the B&W Group pursuant to this Agreement for the time period set forth on the Schedule relating to the specific Service. In accordance with the Master Separation Agreement and Article VI of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in a Schedule for a specific Service, B&W shall undertake to provide to itself and members of the B&W Group, and to terminate as soon as reasonably practicable, the Services provided to the B&W Group hereunder. Except as otherwise provided in a Schedule for a specific Service or group of related Services, all Services provided for hereunder shall terminate on March 31, 2011. Except as otherwise expressly agreed or unless sooner terminated, this Agreement shall commence upon the Distribution Date and shall continue in full force and effect between the parties for so long as any Service set forth in any Schedule hereto is being provided to B&W or members of the B&W Group and this Agreement shall terminate upon the cessation of all Services provided hereunder; provided that Articles I, IV, VIII, IX and XI and Section 2.5(c) will survive the termination of this Agreement and any such termination shall not affect any obligation for the payment of Services rendered prior to termination.
ARTICLE VI
DISCONTINUATION OF SERVICES
Section 6.1 Discontinuation of Services. Unless otherwise provided in the relevant Schedule for a particular Service, at any time after the Distribution Date, B&W may, without cause and in accordance with the terms and conditions hereunder and the Master Separation Agreement, request the discontinuation of one or more specific Services by giving McDermott at least 30 days’ prior written notice; provided, however, that any such discontinuation will not affect the amounts payable to McDermott hereunder unless (and then only to the extent that) the charges for the discontinued Services have been separately identified in the applicable Schedule. B&W shall be liable to McDermott for all costs and expenses McDermott or any member of the MII Group remains obligated to pay in connection with any discontinued Service or Services, except in the case of a Service terminated by B&W pursuant to clause (ii) of the first sentence of Section 7.1 hereof. The parties shall cooperate as reasonably required to effectuate an orderly and systematic transfer to the B&W Group of all of the duties and obligations previously performed by McDermott or a member of the MII Group under this Agreement.
Section 6.2 Procedures Upon Discontinuation or Termination of Services. Upon the discontinuation or termination of a Service hereunder, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect with respect to such Service, except as otherwise provided in a Schedule for a specific
8
Service and except as to obligations accrued prior to the date of discontinuation or termination; provided, however, that Articles I, IV, VIII, IX and XI and Section 2.5(c) of this Agreement shall survive such discontinuation or termination. Each party and the applicable member(s) of its respective Group shall, within 60 days after discontinuation or termination of a Service, deliver to the other party and the applicable member(s) of its respective Group originals of all books, records, contracts, receipts for deposits and all other papers or documents in its possession which pertain exclusively to the business of the other party and relate to such Service; provided that a party may retain copies of material provided to the other party pursuant to this Section 6.2 as it deems necessary or appropriate in connection with its financial reporting obligations or internal control practices and policies.
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
Section 7.1 Termination for Default. In the event (i) of a failure of B&W to pay for Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) any party shall default, in any material respect, in the due performance or observance by it of any of the other terms, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, then (1) if the non-defaulting party is McDermott, McDermott shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to immediately terminate the Service with respect to which the default occurred, and (2) if the non-defaulting party is B&W, B&W shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to immediately terminate the Service with respect to which the default occurred, in either case if the defaulting party has failed to cure the default within 30 days of receipt of the written notice of such default. B&W’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Article VII and the rights set forth in Section 2.5 shall constitute B&W’s sole and exclusive rights and remedies for a breach by McDermott hereunder (including any breach caused by an Affiliate of McDermott or other third party providing a Service hereunder).
ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION AND WAIVER
Section 8.1 Waiver of Consequential Damages. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, REMOTE OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING IN RESPECT OF LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL NOT LIMIT EACH PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS FOR LIABILITIES TO THIRD PARTIES AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE MASTER SEPARATION AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT.
Section 8.2 Services Received. B&W hereby acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) the Services to be provided hereunder are subject to and limited by the provisions of Section 2.5, Article VII and the other provisions hereof, including the limitation of remedies available to B&W that restricts available remedies resulting from a Service not
9
provided in accordance with the terms hereof to non-payment and, in certain limited circumstances, the right to terminate this Agreement;
(b) the Services are being provided solely to facilitate the transition of B&W to a separate company as a result of the Distribution, and McDermott and its Affiliates do not provide any such Services to non-Affiliates;
(c) it is not the intent of McDermott and the other members of the MII Group to render, nor of B&W and the other members of the B&W Group to receive from McDermott and the other members of the MII Group, professional advice or opinions, whether with regard to tax, legal, treasury, finance, employment or other business and financial matters, or technical advice, whether with regard to information technology or other matters; B&W shall not rely on, or construe, any Service rendered by or on behalf of McDermott as such professional advice or opinions or technical advice; and B&W shall seek all third-party professional advice and opinions or technical advice as it may desire or need, and in any event B&W shall be responsible for and assume all risks associated with the Services, except to the limited extent set forth in Section 2.5 and Article VII;
(d) with respect to any software or documentation within the Services, B&W shall use such software and documentation internally and for their intended purpose only, shall not distribute, publish, transfer, sublicense or in any manner make such software or documentation available to other organizations or persons, and shall not act as a service bureau or consultant in connection with such software; and
(e) a material inducement to XxXxxxxxx’x agreement to provide the Services is the limitation of liability and the release provided by B&W in this Agreement.
ACCORDINGLY, EXCEPT WITH REGARD TO THE LIMITED REMEDIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, B&W SHALL ASSUME ALL LIABILITY FOR AND SHALL FURTHER RELEASE, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD MCDERMOTT, ANY MEMBER OF THE MII GROUP AND THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND AGENTS (ALL AS INDEMNIFIED PARTIES) FREE AND HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL LOSSES RESULTING FROM, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES, HOWSOEVER ARISING AND WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF MCDERMOTT, ANY MEMBER OF THE MII GROUP OR ANY THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER, OTHER THAN THOSE LOSSES CAUSED BY THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF MCDERMOTT OR ANY MEMBER OF THE MII GROUP.

Such Services will be provided at the same level they are being provided for McDermott employees in similar positions in the Singapore sales office. For the avoidance of doubt, other than in relation to these specific services, the Services do not include any employee administration functions, e.g., issuing employee salaries or bonuses to such B&W employees, nor do they include access to the McDermott network.
As indicated above, McDermott will provide IT user support assistance to B&W personnel located at XxXxxxxxx’x AsiaPac Headquarters office in Singapore (11 Lorong 0 Xxx Xxxxx (Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx)) as requested by such B&W personnel, the B&W Help Desk, other B&W IT management, including assistance with PC hardware and software, printing, and general network connectivity (“User Support Services”).

Schedule K
Services for MPLS and Facility Access in Houston
Description of Services to be Provided:
Support services described in this schedule are those required to support the overall transition of information technology services, particularly with respect to the connectivity, security and integrity of required information and telecommunications systems, including firewall structure management and the distribution, forwarding and separation of e-mail (collectively, the “MPLS Services”), and further to provide for transitional information and telecommunications support and access for B&W employees resident in XxXxxxxxx’x Houston facilities following the Distribution Date, including use of computers, phones, and other access requirements (collectively, the “Facility-Related Services”). Such Services will be provided at the same level they are being provided to McDermott employees in similar positions in XxXxxxxxx’x Houston facilities.
MPLS Services: As of the Distribution Date, McDermott will provide the following support services, with the cooperation of B&W:
• | Information Systems Connectivity and Security—McDermott will work with B&W to separate the contractual relationship with Verizon under which information systems connectivity and security (the “Information Network”) is provided. The parties anticipate that McDermott will acquire the coverage in the Houston and international regions provided under the Verizon relationship, and B&W will acquire coverage in all other regions. To the extent such separation is not completed as of the Distribution Date, the parties will cooperate through their respective Service Coordinators to complete such separation as commercially reasonable. To the extent either party needs access to the Information Network of the other party after the Distribution Date, then during the MPLS Transition Period, each party will provide the other party with reasonable access to their respective Information Networks to the extent necessary to facilitate the overall transition of information technology services. As each party no longer requires access to the Information Network of the other party with respect to specific functions, systems or services, such party’s access will be terminated. The process for such termination will be as follows: At such time as a party no longer needs access to the Information Network of the other party with respect to a particular function, system or service, then the Service Coordinator for the party no longer requiring access will provide notice to the other party’s Service Coordinator. Access management will be implemented through the relevant firewall rules. The Service Coordinators will promptly confer and reasonably determine how the firewall rules should be modified to implement the access changes. The Service Coordinator for the party owning the Information Network to which access is being restricted shall coordinate the implementation of the new firewall rules with Verizon or other service provider. |
16
As part of the above Services, B&W will be allowed to continue its current use of the 131.184.46.n/24 subnet on the internet for a maximum period of twelve (12) months after the Distribution Date. During this use period, B&W will migrate off this and any other 000.000.0.0/00 subnet. Any public/internet routing or provider changes required by B&W during this period will be accommodated and auctioned by McDermott. To maintain application access while any IT transition services are being provided by either party pursuant to a Transition Services Agreement, both McDermott and B&W will maintain the current IP addressing space on their internal networks: B&W will maintain exclusive use of the 10.0.0.0 to 10.127.255.255 range and McDermott the 10.128.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 range. B&W will not expand its use of any 131.184.0.0 subnet internally or externally without prior consent of McDermott.
In addition, McDermott will provide connectivity between the B&W and McDermott networks, with both B&W and McDermott maintaining a back-to-back firewall solution allowing free and open access to applications covered under a Transition Services Agreement. Any rule changes made to these firewalls will be communicated in advance and agreed upon by both companies. B&W and McDermott will be responsible for maintaining the uptime of each firewall and the updates to routing tables on their respective networks. It is intended that rules sets on the firewalls will adopt a least access posture, i.e., only allowing IP address and TCP ports required to support application access.
