(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall appoint a Person authorized to act as exchange agent in connection with the Transactions, which Person shall be selected by Parent and the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) and shall act on behalf of the holders of Company Common Shares entitled to the Merger Consideration, and enter into an exchange agent agreement with the Exchange Agent reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company for the purpose of (i) exchanging Certificates or Uncertificated Shares for the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Company Common Shares and (ii) effecting the contribution in kind of newly issued shares of HoldCo to Parent against the issuance of new Parent Registered Shares, as contemplated by Section 2.01(b) of each of the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter.

Common Shares, as consideration for the deliveries by the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.01(b) of each of the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter, and for exchange in accordance with this Section 2.03 through the Exchange Agent, (A) Parent Registered Shares issued pursuant to Section 2.02(a), (B) cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.02(a) and (C) the cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail or otherwise deliver to each holder of Company Common Shares who has the right to receive the Merger Consideration hereunder: (i) a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which shall specify that, in respect of any Certificate, risk of loss and title shall pass only upon receipt thereof (or of an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) by the Exchange Agent or, in the case of Uncertificated Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the Letter of Transmittal, and shall be in such form and have such other customary provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably specify, (ii) any notice required pursuant to the Cayman Companies Law, and (iii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates held by any holder of Company Common Shares represented by Certificates. In the event a holder of Company Common Shares does not deliver to the Exchange Agent a duly executed and completed Letter of Transmittal and does not deliver the Certificate(s) (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof), where applicable, such Person shall not be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration relating to such Certificate or Uncertificated Share unless and until such Person delivers a duly executed and completed Letter of Transmittal and Certificate(s) (or an affidavit loss in lieu thereof), as applicable, to the Exchange Agent. Each Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall at any time after the Effective Time represent only the right to receive, upon compliance with these requirements, the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.02 and this Section 2.03. The delivery of a duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal is a condition to each holder of Company Common Shares receiving any portion of the Merger Consideration.

(c) Upon the Exchange Agent’s receipt of a duly executed and completed Letter of Transmittal and the surrender of the Certificates (or an affidavit loss in lieu thereof), as applicable, the Exchange Agent shall deliver, in accordance with Section 2.02(a), to such holder of Company Common Shares (i) the Merger Consideration and (ii) cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Registered Shares and any dividends and distributions with respect to the Share Consideration as contemplated in Section 2.06 or Section 2.03(g) for each Company Common Share.

Parent, the Company and the Exchange Agent may agree on transfer procedures in addition to or different from the procedures set forth above in order to effect the exchange and payment contemplated in this Section 2.03.

(d) If any portion of the Merger Consideration (or cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Registered Shares or any dividends and distributions with respect to the Share Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.06 or Section 2.03(g)) is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Company Common Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) all documents reasonably requested by the Exchange Agent shall be provided, and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(e) The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article 2 upon conversion of any Company Common Shares shall be deemed to have been delivered and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Common Shares. From and after the Effective Time, subject to the Cayman

Companies Law in the case of Dissenting Shares, all holders of Company Common Shares shall cease to have any rights as shareholders of the Company other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration (and cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Registered Shares or any dividends and distributions with respect to the Share Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.06 or Section 2.03(g)) into which the shares represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares have been converted pursuant to this Agreement. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration or transfers of Company Common Shares.

(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the former holders of Company Common Shares as of the one year anniversary of the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent. Any former shareholders of the Company who have not theretofore complied with this Article 2 or the Letter of Transmittal and instructions shall thereafter look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Applicable Laws), as general creditors thereof, for payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of each Company Common Share as such shareholder held prior to the Effective Time as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary, none of Parent, HoldCo, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Company Common Shares for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any portion of the Merger Consideration to be paid in accordance with this Article 2 that remains undistributed to any former holder of Company Common Shares, as of immediately prior to the date on which the Merger Consideration that would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, shall, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, automatically become the property of the Surviving Company, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g) Following the compliance by the holders of Company Common Shares with the requirements of this Section 2.03, Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, without interest, to the Person in whose name the Parent Registered Shares constituting the Share Consideration have been registered, (i) in connection with the payment of the Share Consideration, (A) the amount of any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares to which such Person is entitled pursuant to Section 2.06, and (B) the aggregate amount of all dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such Parent Registered Shares with a record date on or after the Effective Time that were paid prior to the time of such compliance, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date after the payment of the Merger Consideration, the amount of all dividends or other distributions payable with respect to whole Parent Registered Shares constituting the Share Consideration with a record date on or after the Effective Time and prior to the time of such compliance and with a payment date subsequent to the time of such compliance. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Registered Shares constituting the Share Consideration, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.06, shall be paid to the holder of any Company Common Shares with respect to such Company Common Shares prior to such holder’s compliance with the requirements of this Section 2.03.

(h) The payment of any transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred solely by a holder of Company Common Shares in connection with the Merger, and the filing of any related Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Taxes and fees, shall be the sole responsibility of such holder.

Section 2.04 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding Section 2.02, and to the extent available under the Cayman Companies Law including following an exercise of the drag-along rights set forth in Article 6 of the Company Memorandum and Articles of Association in accordance with Section 6.06, Company Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost its rights to dissent from the Merger in accordance with Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares shall be canceled and cease to exist, and the holders of Dissenting

Shares shall only be entitled to receive the payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law. If, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or otherwise loses the right to appraisal with respect to such shares, in any case pursuant to the Cayman Companies Law, such shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice (and in any event within two Business Days) of any notices of objection, notices of approval, notices of dissent, demands for appraisal or demands for fair value or written offers under Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law received by the Company, attempted withdrawals of such notices or demands or offers and any other instruments served pursuant to Applicable Law of the Cayman Islands and received by the Company relating to its shareholders’ rights to dissent from the Merger or fair value rights and (ii) the opportunity to direct all communications, negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such notice or demand for appraisal under the Cayman Companies Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any offers or payment with respect to any exercise by a shareholder of its rights to dissent from the Merger or any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands. In the event that any written notices of objection to the Merger are served by any shareholders of the Company pursuant to Section 238(2) of the Cayman Companies Law, the Company shall serve written notice of the authorization of the Merger on such shareholders pursuant to Section 238(4) of the Cayman Companies Law within 20 days of the approval of the Merger by shareholders of the Company at the Company Shareholder Meeting.

Section 2.05 Adjustments. Without limiting or affecting any of the provisions of Section 6.01 or Section 7.01, if, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the issued and outstanding shares of the Company or Parent shall occur as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, share split (including reverse share split), merger, combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, subdivision or other similar transaction, or any share dividend thereon with a record date during such period, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to eliminate the effect of such event on the Merger Consideration or any such other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.06 Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no fractional Parent Registered Shares shall be issued in the Merger.

If the Exchange Agent, Parent or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, so withholds and pays over any amounts so withheld to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the Exchange Agent, Parent or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 2.08 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Company, Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such amount as the Surviving Company, Parent or the Exchange Agent may determine is reasonably necessary, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent (or if subsequent to the termination of the Exchange Fund and subject to Section 2.03(f), Parent) will pay, in exchange

for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration be paid in respect of the Company Common Shares represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 2.

Section 2.09 Fair Value. Parent, HoldCo, Merger Sub and the Company agree that the Merger Consideration represents the fair value (or more than the fair value) of the Company Common Shares for the purposes of Section 238(8) of the Cayman Companies Law.

(a) Section 4.20(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter contains a true, correct and complete list separately identifying each Company Non-U.S. Employee Plan and each Company U.S. Employee Plan (each a “Company Employee Plan”).

(b) Each Company Employee Plan has been administered in accordance with its terms and is in compliance with all Applicable Laws, except for instances that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

(c) (i) Each Company Employee Plan that is intended to qualify for favorable Tax benefits under the Applicable Laws of any jurisdiction has, to the knowledge of the Company, been operated and maintained in a manner to remain so qualified, and (ii) to the knowledge of the Company no condition exists and no event has occurred that could reasonably be expected to result in the loss or revocation of such status. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination or wind-up of, or withdrawal from, any Company U.S. Employee Plan that is a “pension plan” as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA or any Company Non-U.S. Retirement Plan, and, to the knowledge of the Company, no condition exists and no event has occurred that would reasonably be expected to constitute grounds under Applicable Laws to terminate, wind-up or appoint a trustee to administer any such Company U.S. Employee Plan or Company Non-U.S. Retirement Plan. To the knowledge of the Company, all benefits, contributions and premiums relating to each Company Employee Plan have been timely paid or made in accordance with the terms of such Company Employee Plan and the terms of all Applicable Laws and no request by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has been made to waive or defer payment of any benefits, contributions or premiums that would otherwise be required to be made to any Company Employee Plan. No claim, action, litigation, proceeding, audit, examination, investigation or administrative proceeding has been made, commenced or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened with respect to any Company Employee Plan (other than routine claims for benefits payable in the ordinary course) that would reasonably be expected to result in a material liability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither the Company, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any other Person has engaged in any prohibited transaction with any Company Employee Plan that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any material Tax or penalty for which the Company could reasonably be expected to incur any material liability. Except to the extent it would not reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to the Company and its Subsidiaries, individually or in the aggregate, all required consents and releases necessary or desirable in connection with the amendment, modification or termination of any Company Employee Plan (or any plan, program or arrangement that would be a Company Employee Plan if it had not been amended, modified or terminated), have been validly obtained and are fully effective. With respect to each Company Employee Plan, no event has occurred and no condition or circumstance has existed that could result in an increase in the benefits under or the expense of maintaining any such Company Employee Plan from the level of benefits or expense incurred for the most recent fiscal year ended thereof, except for any such increase as would not be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. No Company Employee Plan has assets that include securities issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. No Company Employee Plan provides for the payment of material severance, termination, change in control or similar-type payments or benefits.

(d) Except as would not result in any material liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, each Company Employee Plan which is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) that the Company is a party to with any employee subject to U.S. income Tax either is not subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code or has been operated and administered in compliance in all material respects with Section 409A of the Code.

(e) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in any material liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, each Company U.S. Employee Plan that is a “group health plan” as defined in Section 733(a)(1) of ERISA (a “Company Health Plan”) (i) is currently in compliance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Pub. L. No. 111-148 (“PPACA”) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, Pub. L. No. 111-152 (“HCERA” and together with PPACA, the “Healthcare Reform Laws”), and (ii) has been in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Healthcare Reform Laws since January 1, 2012; and, to the knowledge of the Company, no event has occurred, and no condition or circumstance exists, that would reasonably be expected to subject the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any Company Health Plan to penalties or excise taxes under Sections 4980D, 4980H, or 4980I of the Code. Neither the Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred or expects to incur any material liability (including additional contributions, fines, taxes or penalties) as a result of a failure to administer or operate any Company U.S. Employee Plan that is a “group health plan” (as

such term is defined in Section 607(1) of ERISA or Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code) in compliance with the applicable requirements of Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA or Section 4980B of the Code (“COBRA”).

(f) None of the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has, within the preceding six year period, ever maintained or contributed to, or had any obligation to contribute to, any material Company U.S. Employee Plan.

(g) None of the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred, and no Circumstance exists that would reasonably be expected to result in, any unsatisfied liability of the Company and its Subsidiaries under Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA arising in connection with any Company U.S. Employee Plan covered or previously covered by Title IV of ERISA or such Sections 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA. No Company U.S. Employee Plan is a “multiple employer plan” (within the meaning of the Code or ERISA).

(h) The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities attributable to employees and former employees of the Company and for which the Company is or may be liable under each Company Non-U.S. Employee Plan that provides pension, retirement or other similar benefits (each, a “Company Non-U.S. Retirement Plan”), determined as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal year of the Company, on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of the assets of such Company Non-U.S. Retirement Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities.

(i) No Company Employee Plan provides for post-employment or retiree health, life insurance and/or other welfare benefits, and the Company does not have any obligation to provide any such benefits to any retired or former employees or active employees following such employees’ retirement or termination of service, other than any such plan the cost of which is borne by the employee. There are no liabilities of the Company with respect to any Company Employee Plan that are not properly accrued and reflected in the financial statements in accordance with applicable accounting rules. No condition or circumstance exists that would prevent the amendment or termination of any Company Employee Plan.

(j) The execution of, and performance of, the Transactions will not (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events) (i) constitute an event under any Company Employee Plan that will or may result in any payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise), acceleration, forgiveness of indebtedness, vesting, distribution, increase in benefits or obligation to fund benefits with respect to any employee or consultant of the Company and its Subsidiaries or trigger the right of any employee to terminate any employment relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries, or (ii) result in the triggering or imposition of any restrictions or limitations on the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to amend or terminate any Company Employee Plan.

Section 5.12 Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) Section 5.12(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter contains a true, correct and complete list separately identifying each Parent Non-U.S. Employee Plan and each Parent U.S. Employee Plan (each a “Parent Employee Plan”). Parent has delivered or made available to the Company true, correct and complete copies, together with all amendments, of each Parent Employee Plan that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.

(b) Each Parent Employee Plan has been administered in accordance with its terms and is in compliance with all Applicable Laws, except for instances that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Parent.

(c) (i) Each Parent Employee Plan that is intended to qualify for favorable Tax benefits under the Applicable Laws of any jurisdiction has, to the knowledge of Parent, been operated and maintained in a manner to remain so qualified, and (ii) to the knowledge of Parent no condition exists and no event has occurred that could reasonably be expected to result in the loss or revocation of such status. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination or wind-up of, or withdrawal from, any Parent U.S. Employee Plan that is a “pension plan” as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA or any Parent Retirement Plan, and, to the knowledge of Parent, no condition exists and no event has occurred that would reasonably be expected to constitute grounds under Applicable Laws to terminate, wind-up or appoint a trustee to administer any such Parent U.S. Employee Plan or Parent Retirement Plan. To the knowledge of Parent, all benefits, contributions and premiums relating to each Parent Employee Plan have been timely paid or made in accordance with the terms of such Parent Employee Plan and the terms of all Applicable Laws and no request by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries has been made to waive or defer payment of any benefits, contributions or premiums that would otherwise be required to be made to any Parent Employee Plan. No claim, action, litigation, proceeding, audit, examination, investigation or administrative proceeding has been made, commenced or, to the knowledge of Parent, threatened with respect to any Parent Employee Plan (other than routine claims for benefits payable in the ordinary course) that would reasonably be expected to result in a material liability of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither Parent, nor, to the knowledge of Parent, any other Person has engaged in any prohibited transaction with any Parent Employee Plan that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any material Tax or penalty for which Parent could reasonably be expected to incur any material liability. Except to the extent it would not reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to Parent and its Subsidiaries, individually or in the aggregate, all required consents and releases necessary or desirable in connection with the amendment, modification or termination of any Parent Employee Plan (or any plan, program or arrangement that would be a Parent Employee Plan if it had not been amended, modified or terminated), have been validly obtained and are fully effective. With respect to each Parent Employee Plan, no event has occurred and no condition or circumstance has existed that could result in an increase in the benefits under or the expense of maintaining any such Parent Employee Plan from the level of benefits or expense incurred for the most recent fiscal year ended thereof, except for any such increase as would not be material to Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. No Parent Employee Plan has assets that include securities issued by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. No Parent Employee Plan provides for the payment of severance, termination, change in control or similar-type payments or benefits.

(d) Except as would not result in any material liability to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, each Parent Employee Plan which is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) that Parent is a party to with any employee subject to U.S. income Tax either is not subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code or has been operated and administered in compliance in all material respects with Section 409A of the Code.

(e) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in any material liability to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, each Parent U.S. Employee Plan that is a “group health plan” as defined in Section 733(a)(1) of ERISA (a “Parent Health Plan”) (i) is currently in compliance with the Healthcare Reform Laws, and (ii) has been in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Healthcare Reform Laws since January 1, 2012; and, to

the knowledge of Parent, no event has occurred, and no condition or circumstance exists, that would reasonably be expected to subject Parent, any of its Subsidiaries, or any Parent Health Plan to penalties or excise taxes under Sections 4980D, 4980H, or 4980I of the Code. Neither Parent nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred or expects to incur any material liability (including additional contributions, fines, taxes or penalties) as a result of a failure to administer or operate any Parent U.S. Employee Plan that is a “group health plan” (as such term is defined in Section 607(1) of ERISA or Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code) in compliance with the applicable requirements of COBRA.

(f) None of Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has, within the preceding six year period, ever maintained or contributed to, or had any obligation to contribute to, any Parent U.S. Employee Plan.

(g) None of Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred, and no Circumstance exists that would reasonably be expected to result in, any unsatisfied liability of Parent and its Subsidiaries under Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA arising in connection with any Parent U.S. Employee Plan covered or previously covered by Title IV of ERISA or such Sections 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA. No Parent U.S. Employee Plan is a “multiple employer plan” (within the meaning of the Code or ERISA).

(h) The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities attributable to employees and former employees of Parent and for which Parent is or may be liable under each Parent Employee Plan that provides pension, retirement or other similar benefits (each, a “Parent Retirement Plan”), determined as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal year of Parent, on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, are funded at no less than the minimum legally required level of each jurisdiction in which the plan is registered and are properly reflected by adequate reserves included in the consolidated financial statements of Parent included in or incorporated by reference into the Parent SEC Documents.

(i) No Parent Employee Plan provides for post-employment or retiree health, life insurance and/or other welfare benefits, and Parent does not have any obligation to provide any such benefits to any retired or former employees or active employees following such employees’ retirement or termination of service, other than any such plan the cost of which is borne by the employee. There are no liabilities of Parent with respect to any Parent Employee Plan that are not properly accrued and reflected in the financial statements in accordance with applicable accounting rules. No condition or circumstance exists that would prevent the amendment or termination of any Parent Employee Plan.

(j) The execution of, and performance of, the Transactions will not (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events) (i) constitute an event under any Parent Employee Plan that will or may result in any payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise), acceleration, forgiveness of indebtedness, vesting, distribution, increase in benefits or obligation to fund benefits with respect to any employee or consultant of Parent and its Subsidiaries or trigger the right of any employee to terminate any employment relationship with Parent and its Subsidiaries, or (ii) result in the triggering or imposition of any restrictions or limitations on the right of Parent any of its Subsidiaries to amend or terminate any Parent Employee Plan.

Section 5.13 Absence of Certain Changes. Since the Parent Balance Sheet Date until the date of this Agreement, there has not been any Circumstance that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Parent. Since the Parent Balance Sheet Date (a) the business of Parent and its Subsidiaries has been conducted in the ordinary course consistent with past practice in all material respects and (b) there has not been any action taken by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that, if taken without the Company’s prior written consent during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, would constitute a breach of Section 7.01.

Section 5.14 No Undisclosed Material Liabilities. There are no liabilities or obligations of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, of any kind whatsoever, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise, other than (a) liabilities or obligations disclosed and provided for in the Parent Balance Sheet or in the notes thereto, (b) liabilities or obligations incurred in connection with the Transactions, (c) liabilities or obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice since the Parent Balance Sheet Date and which have not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Parent, (d) liabilities or obligations that have not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Parent.

(i) the Company, directly or indirectly through advisors, agents or other intermediaries, may (A) engage in negotiations or discussions with any Third Party and its Representatives that, subject to the Company’s compliance with Section 6.04(a), has made after the date of this Agreement a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board reasonably believes will lead to a Superior Proposal and (B) furnish to such Third Party or its Representatives or financing sources non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided that all such information (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to Parent) is provided or made available to Parent, as the case may be, prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Third Party;

(ii) Subject to compliance with Section 6.04(d), the Company Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change following receipt of a Superior Proposal;

in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) only if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under any Applicable Law.

In addition, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company Board from complying with Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal so long as any action taken or statement made to so comply is consistent with this Section 6.04; provided that any such action taken or statement made that relates to an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company Board reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such statement or in connection with such action.

(c) Required Notices. The Company Board shall not take any of the actions referred to in Section 6.04 unless the Company shall have delivered to Parent a prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to take such action, and, after taking such action, the Company shall continue to advise Parent on a prompt basis of the status and terms of any discussions and negotiations with the Third Party. In addition, the Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) after receipt by the Company (or, if received by any of the Company’s Representatives, after the Company is informed by such Representative) of any Acquisition Proposal, any indication that a Third Party is considering making an Acquisition Proposal or any request for information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Third Party that may be considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall provide such notice orally and in writing and shall identify the Third Party making, and the terms and conditions of, any such Acquisition Proposal, indication or request. The Company shall keep Parent informed, on a prompt basis, of the status, terms of any discussions and details of any such Acquisition Proposal, indication or request, and shall promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours after receipt) provide to Parent copies of all correspondence and written materials that describe any terms or conditions of any Acquisition Proposal sent or provided to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of the Company’s compliance with this Section 6.04(c).

(d) “Last Look”. Further, the Company Board shall not make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Acquisition Proposal (or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i)), unless (i) the Company promptly notifies Parent, in writing at least three Business Days before taking that action, of its intention

to do so, attaching in the case of an Adverse Recommendation Change to be made following receipt of a Superior Proposal, the most current version of any proposed agreement under which such Superior Proposal is proposed to be consummated and the identity of the Third Party making the Acquisition Proposal, and (ii) Parent does not make, within three Business Days after its receipt of that written notification, an offer that in the case of any Adverse Recommendation Change to be made following receipt of a Superior Proposal, is at least as favorable to the shareholders of the Company as such Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new written notification from the Company and a new three Business Day period under this Section 6.04(d)).

(e) Definition of Superior Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide, unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal for at least 62.5% of the outstanding Company Common Shares or at least 62.5% of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on terms that the Company Board determines in good faith by a majority vote, after considering the written advice of a financial advisor of internationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel and taking into account all of the applicable terms, conditions, impacts and all legal, financial, regulatory, fiduciary and other aspects of such Acquisition Proposal, including the identity of the Third Party making the proposal, any break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to consummation, are more favorable from a financial point of view to the Company’s shareholders than as provided under this Agreement (taking into account any proposal by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.04(d)), which the Company Board determines is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms, and either (i) for which financing, if a cash transaction (whether in whole or in part), is then fully committed or reasonably expected by the Company Board to be available or (ii) the Company Board determines, after considering the advice of a financial advisor of internationally recognized reputation, that the Third Party making such Acquisition Proposal has sufficient cash on hand to consummate the Acquisition Proposal without financing.

(f) Obligation to Terminate Existing Discussions. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party and its Representatives and its financing sources conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

(ii) a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Parent, HoldCo or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause the conditions set forth in Section 9.03(a) or Section 9.03(b) not to be satisfied and to be incapable of being satisfied by the End Date.

The Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01 (other than pursuant to Section 10.01(a)) shall give notice of such termination to the other Party.

Section 10.02 Effect of Termination. Except as provided in Section 10.03, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.01, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect without liability of any Party (or any shareholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such Party) to the other Parties; provided that if such termination shall result from a Willful Breach, such Party shall be fully liable for any and all liabilities and damages (which the Parties acknowledge and agree shall not be limited to reimbursement of expenses or out-of-pocket costs) incurred or suffered as a result of such failure. The provisions of this Section 10.02 and Sections 6.05(c), 10.03, 11.06, 11.07, 11.08, 11.09 and 11.10 shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01.

Section 10.03 Expenses; Termination Fees.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(iv), then Parent shall pay to the Company $60,000,000 (such amount being the parties’ reasonable estimate of the Expenses of the Company) within one Business Day after such termination.

(d) If (i) this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i), Section 10.01(b)(iii) or Section 10.01(c)(iii) and at the time of termination all conditions to the consummation of the Merger set forth in Article 9, other than the condition set forth in Section 9.01(a), have been satisfied or waived, (ii) an Acquisition Proposal shall have been made (or, in the case of termination by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(iii), publicly announced) after the date of this Agreement and not withdrawn prior to the Company Shareholder Meeting or the applicable breach, as the case may be, and (iii) within 12 months following the date of such termination, the Company or any Subsidiary enters into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (which is thereafter consummated) or an Acquisition Proposal shall have been consummated (provided that for purposes of this clause (e), each reference to “15%” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be a reference to “62.5%”), then the Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee after the consummation of the applicable transaction.

(e) Any payment of the Company Termination Fee shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent to the Company.

(f) Each Party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 10.03 are an integral part of this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Parent, HoldCo, Merger Sub and the Company would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company fails to promptly pay any applicable amount when due pursuant to this Section 10.03, and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent, HoldCo or Merger Sub, as applicable, commences a Proceeding that results in a judgment against the Company for the fee set forth in this Section 10.03 or any portion of such fee, then the Company shall pay to Parent all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Parent, its Affiliates and Representatives in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount at the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence or in the case of fraud, Parent, HoldCo and Merger Sub agree that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Company Termination Fee is payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 10.03 and such Company Termination Fee is paid in full, Parent, HoldCo and Merger Sub shall be precluded from any other remedy against the Company, at law or in equity or otherwise, and neither Parent, HoldCo nor Merger Sub shall seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, shareholders or Affiliates or their respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions.

(g) Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Company a fee equal to $132,500,000 (the “Parent Termination Fee”) if this Agreement is terminated (i) by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i) (in the case of termination by Parent, only under circumstances in which the Company has a concurrent right to

terminate pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i)) and, as of the End Date, one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 9.01(d) (or, with respect to matters addressed in Section 9.01(d), Section 9.01(c)) shall not have been satisfied or waived and all other conditions set forth in Article 9 to the obligation of Parent to consummate the Merger have been satisfied or waived (other than any such conditions that by their nature cannot be satisfied until the Closing Date but subject to such conditions being capable of being satisfied or waived by Parent if the Closing Date were the date of termination), or (ii) by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(ii) in the event a Regulatory Impediment relates to an Antitrust Law; provided that, solely in the case of Section 10.03(g)(ii), Parent shall have no obligation to pay, or cause to be paid, to the Company the Parent Termination Fee if (A) there shall have been a Willful Breach of this Agreement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) the condition set forth in Section 9.02(d) shall not have been satisfied. The Parent Termination Fee shall be paid within one Business Day after such termination by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company to Parent. Each Party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 10.03(g) are an integral part of this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Parent, HoldCo, Merger Sub and the Company would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if Parent fails to promptly pay any applicable amount when due pursuant to this Section 10.03(g), and, in order to obtain such payment, the Company commences a Proceeding that results in a judgment against Parent for the fee set forth in this Section 10.03(g) or any portion of such fee, then Parent shall pay to the Company all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Company, its Affiliates and Representatives in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount at the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence or in the case of fraud, the Company agrees that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Parent Termination Fee is payable by Parent pursuant to this Section 10.03(g) and such Parent Termination Fee is paid in full, the Company shall be precluded from any other remedy against Parent, at law or in equity or otherwise, and the Company shall not seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against Parent or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, shareholders or Affiliates or their respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions.

good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

This VOTING AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is dated as of [], 2018, by and among Transocean Ltd., a Swiss corporation (“Parent”), and the shareholders of Ocean Rig UDW Inc., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), listed on the signature pages hereto (each, a “Shareholder” and collectively, the “Shareholders”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company is considering whether to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Parent, Transocean Oceanus Holdings Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Holdco”), and Transocean Oceanus Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“Merger Sub”), substantially in the form of the draft, dated September 3, 2018, previously furnished to the Shareholders (the “Merger Agreement”).

WHEREAS, the Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger, pursuant to which each Company Common Share (other than Company Common Shares held by the Company as treasury shares or owned by any Subsidiary of the Company or Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time and the Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive (i) 1.6128 fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Shares and (ii) $12.75 in cash, without interest.

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, each Shareholder is the legal or beneficial owner of the number of Company Common Shares set forth on Exhibit A hereto (together with such additional Company Common Shares that become legally or beneficially owned by such Shareholder, whether by purchase, share dividend, distribution, split-up, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares or the like, conversion of convertible securities or otherwise, after the date hereof, the “Company Owned Shares”).

WHEREAS, as a condition to Parent’s willingness to enter into and perform its obligations under the Merger Agreement, Parent has required that each Shareholder agree, and each Shareholder has agreed, to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration given to each party hereto, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Agreement to Vote.

1.1 Agreement to Vote Company Owned Shares. Each Shareholder hereby agrees that, from the date of execution of the Merger Agreement until the earliest of (i) the time that the Company Shareholder Approval has been obtained and (ii) termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.1 (the “Company Voting Period”), at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company at which the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including the Merger) is

to be voted upon, however called, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or in connection with any written consent of the shareholders of the Company, such Shareholder shall be present (in person or by proxy, or cause to be present) and vote (or cause to be voted), or give written consent (or cause written consent to be given) covering, all of its Company Owned Shares at such time:

(a) in favor of (A) approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, (B) any other matter necessary or appropriate to consummate the Transactions, and (C) the approval of any proposal to adjourn or postpone the meeting to a later date, if there are not sufficient votes for the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement, any of the Transactions or any other matter necessary or appropriate to consummate the Transactions on the date on which such meeting is held; and

(b) against (A) any Acquisition Proposal or any other action, proposal, agreement or transaction made in opposition to or competition with, or inconsistent with, the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, and (B) any other action, proposal, agreement or transaction that would reasonably be expected, or the effect of which would reasonably be expected, to prevent, nullify, materially impede, interfere with, frustrate, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the timely consummation of the Transactions or the performance by the Shareholder of its obligations under this Agreement, including (1) any extraordinary dividend or distribution by the Company, (2) any material change in the capital structure or corporate structure or business of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, (3) any merger agreement or merger (other than the Merger Agreement and the Merger), consolidation, combination, material business transaction, sale of assets, reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, or any other action or transaction involving the Company, (4) any election of new members to the Company Board, other than the re-election of the members of the Company Board who are serving as directors of the Company on the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Existing Directors”) or any new member(s) whose nomination(s) is approved by a majority of the Existing Directors, and (5) any amendment of the Company’s organizational documents.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 1.1 shall not require any Shareholder to be present (in person or by proxy) or vote (or cause to be voted), or give written consent (or cause written consent to be given) covering, any of its Company Owned Shares to amend, modify or waive any provision of the Merger Agreement in a manner that would (i) decrease the amount or change the form of the Merger Consideration, (ii) impose any material restrictions or additional material conditions on the payment of the Merger Consideration to shareholders of the Company or (iii) extend the End Date.

1.2 Agreement to Vote Parent Owned Shares. Each Shareholder hereby agrees that, from the date of execution of the Merger Agreement until the earliest of (i) the time that the Parent Shareholder Approval has been obtained and (ii) termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.1 (the “Parent Voting Period”), at any meeting of the shareholders of Parent at which the Parent Shareholder Approval and the Merger Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including the Merger) are to be voted upon, however called, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, such

Shareholder shall be present (in person or by proxy, or cause to be present) and vote (or cause to be voted), all of its Parent Owned Shares (as defined below) which such Shareholder beneficially owns as of the record date for such meeting at such time in favor of (A) the Authorized Share Capital, (B) the Parent Share Issuance, (C) the related amendments to Parent’s articles of association in connection therewith, (D) any other Transactions (as necessary) and (E) one or more “routine” matters under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the proposals referred to in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) being collectively referred to as the “Parent Proposals”). Parent hereby agrees to provide each Shareholder with at least ten (10) calendar days’ advance notice of the record date for any shareholder meeting of the Parent held during the Parent Voting Period. For purposes of this Agreement, “Parent Owned Shares” means the Parent Registered Shares beneficially owned by such Shareholder as of the date hereof together with such additional Parent Registered Shares that become beneficially owned by such Shareholder, whether by purchase, share dividend, distribution, split-up, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares or the like, conversion of convertible securities or otherwise, after the date hereof less any Parent Registered Shares that have been Transferred pursuant to a Permitted Transfer.

2. Representations and Warranties of Shareholders. Each Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent, as of the date of this Agreement, as of the Company Shareholder Meeting, and, if such Shareholder beneficially owns any Parent Registered Shares as of the Parent Shareholder Meeting, as of the Parent Shareholder Meeting, as follows:

2.1 Power; Due Authorization; Binding Agreement. Such Shareholder has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation by such Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership or other applicable action on the part of such Shareholder, and no other proceedings on the part of such Shareholder are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Shareholder and, assuming the due and valid authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of such Shareholder, enforceable against such Shareholder in accordance with its terms, except that (i) such enforcement may be subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Applicable Laws, now or hereafter in effect, relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) equitable remedies of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

2.2 Ownership of Shares.

(i) The Company Owned Shares set forth opposite such Shareholder’s name on Exhibit A hereto as adjusted for Company Owned Shares Transferred pursuant to a Permitted Transfer are owned legally or beneficially by such Shareholder, free and clear of any Liens (including any restriction on the right or power to vote, consent with respect to, or otherwise dispose of the Company Owned Shares, other than pursuant to this Agreement), except for any Liens that (x) could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to materially impair the ability of such Shareholder to perform fully its obligations hereunder on a timely basis or (y) are incurred with Parent’s prior written consent (“Permitted Liens”). For the avoidance of doubt, the fact that such

Shareholder’s Company Owned Shares may be loaned by such Shareholder as part of customary securities lending arrangements shall constitute a Permitted Lien so long as such Shareholder is entitled to vote any such loaned Company Owned Shares at any shareholder meeting of the Company held during the Voting Period (including by recalling such loaned Company Owned Shares prior to the record date for such meeting as necessary). Parent hereby agrees to provide each Shareholder with at least ten (10) calendar days’ advance notice of the record date for any shareholder meeting of the Company held during the Company Voting Period. Other than the restrictions in favor of Parent pursuant to this Agreement, any Permitted Liens, any transfer restrictions of general applicability under applicable securities laws, or as disclosed by such Shareholder on a Schedule 13D filed with respect to the Company Common Shares, as amended as of the date hereof, such Shareholder has, and at any shareholder meeting of the Company held during the Company Voting Period to vote regarding the Merger Agreement and the Transactions such Shareholder will have, either (A) sole voting power and sole dispositive power with respect to the matters set forth in Section 1.1 in respect of all of the Company Owned Shares of such Shareholder or (B) voting power and dispositive power with respect to the matters set forth in Section 1.1 in respect of all of the Company Owned Shares of such Shareholder that is shared with one or more of the other Shareholders hereto or their respective transferees in accordance with Section 4.1 of this Agreement.

(ii) As of the date hereof, except for the Company Owned Shares set forth on Exhibit A hereto, such Shareholder does not legally or beneficially own any (a) common, ordinary or restricted shares or any other voting securities of the Company, (b) securities of the Company convertible into or exchangeable for common shares, preferred shares or voting securities of the Company or (c) options, warrants or other rights to acquire from the Company any common shares, preferred shares or any other voting securities of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for common shares, preferred shares or voting securities of the Company, or rights the value of which is linked to the price or value of any common shares, preferred shares or voting securities of the Company. Except for this Agreement, any Permitted Liens or as disclosed by such Shareholder on a Schedule 13D filed with respect to the Company Common Shares, as amended as of the date hereof, none of the Company Owned Shares is subject to any voting trust or other agreement, arrangement, understanding or instrument with respect to the voting of, or exercise of voting power with respect to, or the Transfer (as defined below) of, such shares.

or direct the voting of such securities, or (z) any transaction that has the same effect as any of the foregoing.

2.3 Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Shareholder does not, and the performance by such Shareholder of its obligations under this Agreement will not, (i) conflict with or violate any Applicable Law with respect to such Shareholder or by which any of its assets or properties (including any Company Owned Shares or Parent Owned Shares) are bound or (ii) conflict with, result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or require payment under, or result in the creation of any Lien on the properties or assets of such Shareholder pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which the Shareholder is a party or by which such Shareholder or any of its assets or properties (including any Company Owned Shares or Parent Owned Shares) are bound, except for any of the foregoing as could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to materially impair the ability of such Shareholder to perform fully its obligations hereunder on a timely basis. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Shareholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by such Shareholder will not, require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any (A) Governmental Authority, except for filings that may be required to be made with the SEC under the Exchange Act or (B) third party (including with respect to individuals, trusts, any co-trustee or beneficiary).

2.4 Acknowledgment. Such Shareholder understands and acknowledges that Parent is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon such Shareholder’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

3. Representations and Warranties of Parent. Parent hereby represents and warrants to each of the Shareholders, as of the date of this Agreement, as of the Company Shareholder Meeting, and as of the Parent Shareholder Meeting as follows: (a) Parent has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; (b) the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation by Parent of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Parent, and no other proceedings on the part of Parent are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; and (c) this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Parent and, assuming the due and valid authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Parent.

(ii) During the Company Voting Period, each Shareholder will not, and will not permit any Person under such Shareholder’s control to, (a) solicit proxies or become a “participant” in a “solicitation” (as such terms are defined in Rule 14a1 under the Exchange Act) (A) with respect to an Opposing Proposal or (B) seeking votes or consents against the approval or adoption of the Merger Agreement or the Transactions, (b) initiate a shareholders’ vote with respect to an Opposing Proposal or (c) except by virtue of this Agreement, become a member of a “group” (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any voting securities of the Company with respect to an Opposing Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Opposing Proposal” means any of the actions or proposals described in clause (b) of Section 1.1.

(iii) During each of the Company Voting Period and the Parent Voting Period, each Shareholder agrees that it will not take any action designed to, or that has the effect of, frustrating, delaying or impeding the ability of the Company to obtain the approval or adoption of the Merger Agreement or the Transactions, including the Merger, or frustrating, delaying or impeding the ability of Parent to obtain the approval or adoption of the Parent Proposals.

(iv) During each of the Company Voting Period and the Parent Voting Period, each Shareholder agrees that it will not bring, commence, institute, maintain, prosecute, participate in or voluntarily aid any Proceeding in law or in equity, in any court or before any Governmental Authority, which alleges that the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement by the Company, Parent, Holdco or Merger Sub or the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions by the Company Board or the board of directors or

similar governing body, as applicable, of Parent, Holdco or Merger Sub, breaches any fiduciary duty of such governing body or any member thereof or which otherwise challenges the Merger Agreement and the Transactions.

6.8 Venue.

(a) Subject to Section 6.7, each of the parties irrevocably agrees that any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal (a “Proceeding”), arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party against any other party shall be brought and determined in the court of any New York federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York; provided, however, that if such federal court does not have jurisdiction, then any New York state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York (collectively, the “Chosen Courts”). Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits itself and its property in any Proceeding to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, (iii) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such Chosen Courts, (iv) agrees that any actions or proceedings arising in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought, tried and determined only in the Chosen Courts, (v) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such Proceeding in any such Chosen Courts or that such Proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same and (vi) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Chosen Courts. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any Proceeding in the Chosen Courts shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law. Each of the parties further agrees that notice as provided herein

(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(c) EACH PARTY HERETO EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE WAIVERS IN SECTION 6.8(A) AND SECTION 6.8(B) ARE INTENDED TO BE IRREVOCABLE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND OF THE U.S.

Upon such a determination, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

6.13 Other. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Shareholder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the parties as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the parties are in any

6.14 Disclosure. Each Shareholder (i) consents to and authorizes the publication and disclosure by Parent and the Company of such Shareholder’s identity and holding and legal or beneficial ownership of the Company Owned Shares and the nature of its commitments and obligations under this Agreement in any press release and in any disclosure required by the SEC or other Governmental Authority, including the Registration Statement and the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement to either of them, and (ii) agrees promptly to give to Parent and the Company any additional information Parent or the Company may reasonably request for the preparation of any such disclosure documents so long as such information is required by Applicable Law to be disclosed therein.

6.18 [Shareholder Capacity. Each Shareholder is executing and entering into this Agreement solely in such Shareholder’s capacity as a shareholder of the Company, and not in such Shareholder’s capacity as a director, officer, employee, agent or consultant of the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall in any way restrict a director of the Company in the taking of any actions (or failure to act) in his or her capacity as a director of the Company, or in the exercise of his or her fiduciary duties as a director of the Company, or prevent or be construed to create any obligation on the part of any director or officer of the Company from taking any action in his or her capacity as such director, and no action taken solely in the capacity as a director of the Company shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement.]1

Final Form of Agreement

VOTING AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT

This VOTING AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is dated as of [], 2018, by and among Ocean Rig UDW Inc., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), and the shareholder of Transocean Ltd., a Swiss corporation (“Parent”), listed on the signature pages hereto (the “Shareholder”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Parent is considering whether to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with the Company, Transocean Oceanus Holdings Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Holdco”), and Transocean Oceanus Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“Merger Sub”), substantially in the form of the draft, dated September 3, 2018, previously furnished to the Shareholder (the “Merger Agreement”).

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Shareholder is the legal or beneficial owner of the number of Parent Registered Shares set forth on Exhibit A hereto (together with such additional Parent Registered Shares that become legally or beneficially owned by the Shareholder, whether by purchase, share dividend, distribution, split-up, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares or the like, conversion of convertible securities or otherwise, after the date hereof, the “Parent Owned Shares”).

WHEREAS, as a condition to the Company’s willingness to enter into and perform its obligations under the Merger Agreement, the Company has required the Shareholder agree, and the Shareholder has agreed, to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration given to each party hereto, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Agreement to Vote Parent Owned Shares. The Shareholder hereby agrees that, from the date of execution of the Merger Agreement until the earliest of (i) the time that the Parent Shareholder Approval has been obtained and (ii) termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.1 (the “Parent Voting Period”), at any meeting of the shareholders of Parent at which the Parent Shareholder Approval is to be voted upon, however called, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the Shareholder shall be present (in person or by proxy, or cause to be present) and vote (or cause to be voted), all of its Parent Owned Shares (as defined below) which the Shareholder beneficially owns as of the record date for such meeting at such time in favor of (A) the Authorized Share Capital, (B) the Parent Share

Issuance, (C) the related amendments to Parent’s articles of association in connection therewith, (D) any other Transactions (as necessary) and (E) one or more “routine” matters under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the proposals referred to in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) being collectively referred to as the “Parent Proposals”); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 1.1 shall require any Shareholder beneficially owning any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Parent Registered Shares to convert, exercise or exchange such securities.

2. Representations and Warranties of the Shareholder. The Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to the Company, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Parent Shareholder Meeting, as follows:

2.1 Power; Due Authorization; Binding Agreement. The Shareholder has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation by the Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership or other applicable action on the part of the Shareholder, and no other proceedings on the part of the Shareholder are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Shareholder and, assuming the due and valid authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Shareholder, enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms, except that (i) such enforcement may be subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Applicable Laws, now or hereafter in effect, relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) equitable remedies of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

2.2 Ownership of Shares.

(i) The Parent Owned Shares set forth opposite the Shareholder’s name on Exhibit A hereto are owned legally or beneficially by the Shareholder, free and clear of any Liens (including any restriction on the right or power to vote, consent with respect to, or otherwise dispose of the Parent Owned Shares, other than pursuant to this Agreement), except for any Liens that (x) could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to materially impair the ability of the Shareholder to perform fully its obligations hereunder on a timely basis or (y) are incurred with the Company’s prior written consent (“Permitted Liens”). For the avoidance of doubt, the fact that the Shareholder’s Parent Owned Shares may be loaned by the Shareholder as part of customary securities lending arrangements shall constitute a Permitted Lien so long as the Shareholder is entitled to vote any such loaned Parent Owned Shares at any shareholder meeting of Parent held during the Parent Voting Period (including by recalling such loaned Parent Owned Shares prior to the record date for such meeting as necessary). The Company hereby agrees to provide the Shareholder with at least ten (10) calendar days’ advance notice of the record date for any shareholder meeting of Parent held during the Parent Voting Period. Other than the restrictions in favor of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, any Permitted Liens, any transfer restrictions of general applicability under applicable securities laws, or as disclosed by the Shareholder on a Schedule 13D filed with respect to the Parent Registered Shares, as amended as of the date hereof, the Shareholder has, and at any shareholder meeting of Parent

Except for this Agreement, any Permitted Liens or as disclosed by the Shareholder on a Schedule 13D filed with respect to the Parent Registered Shares, as amended as of the date hereof, none of the Parent Owned Shares is subject to any voting trust or other agreement, arrangement, understanding or instrument with respect to the voting of, or exercise of voting power with respect to, or the Transfer (as defined below) of, such shares.

For purposes of this Agreement, to “Transfer” any securities shall mean (a) to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, encumber, distribute, gift or otherwise dispose of (including by merger or otherwise by operation of law) such securities or any interest in such securities, (b) to tender such securities in any tender or exchange offer, or (c) to create or permit to exist any Liens (other than Permitted Liens), or (d) enter into any contract, option, agreement or other arrangement or understanding with respect to any of the actions contemplated by the preceding clauses (a) through (c); provided that any conversion, exercise or exchange of any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Parent Registered Shares by any Shareholder shall not constitute a Transfer to the extent the Parent Registered Shares underlying such security continue to be beneficially owned by the Shareholder following such conversion, exercise or exchange. The term “sell,” “sale” or any derivatives thereof used in this Agreement with respect to any securities of the Company shall include (w) any sale, transfer or disposition of legal or beneficial ownership, or both, of such securities, (x) any short sale with respect to such securities, (y) any swap transaction, option, warrant, forward purchase or sale transaction, futures transaction, cap transaction, floor transaction, collar transaction or any other similar transaction (including any option with respect to any such transaction) or combination of any such transactions, in each case involving such securities and (1) has, or would reasonably be expected to have, the effect of reducing or limiting the Shareholder’s economic interest in such securities or (2) grants a third party the right to vote or direct the voting of such securities, or (z) any transaction that has the same effect as any of the foregoing; provided that any conversion, exercise or exchange of any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Parent Registered Shares by any Shareholder shall not constitute a sale to the extent the Parent Registered Shares underlying such security continue to be beneficially owned by the Shareholder following such conversion, exercise or exchange.

2.3 Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder does not, and the performance by the Shareholder of its obligations under this Agreement will not, (i) conflict with or violate any Applicable Law with respect to the Shareholder or by which any of its assets or properties (including any Parent Owned Shares) are bound or (ii) conflict with, result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or require payment under, or result in the creation of any Lien on the properties or assets of the Shareholder pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which the Shareholder is a party or by which the Shareholder or any of its assets or properties (including any Parent Owned Shares) are bound, except for any of the foregoing as could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to materially impair the ability of the Shareholder to perform fully its obligations hereunder on a timely basis. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder will not, require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any (A) Governmental Authority, except for filings that may be required to be made with the SEC under the Exchange Act or (B) third party (including with respect to individuals, trusts, any co-trustee or beneficiary).
