Section 6.02 Indemnification by SMHI.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article VI, after the Closing, SMHI shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the OTM Group and its Affiliates (collectively, the “OTM Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any of the OTM Indemnified Parties, to the extent arising out of or resulting from any breach of any SMHI General Representation or SMHI Fundamental Representation.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, SMHI shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any OTM Indemnified Party against, or reimburse any OTM Indemnified Party for, any Losses unless a valid notice of a claim is duly delivered by such OTM Indemnified Party to SMHI prior to the expiration of the SMHI General Representations or SMHI Fundamental Representations, as applicable.

Section 6.03 Indemnification by OTM.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article VI, after the Closing, OTM shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the SEACOR Marine Group and its Affiliates (collectively, the “SEACOR Marine Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any of the SEACOR Marine Indemnified Parties, to the extent arising out of or resulting from any breach of any OTM General Representation.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, OTM shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any SEACOR Marine Indemnified Party against, or reimburse any SEACOR Marine Indemnified Party for, any Losses unless a valid notice of a claim is duly delivered by such SEACOR Marine Indemnified Party to OTM prior to the expiration of the OTM General Representations.

Section 6.04 Procedures.

(a) A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), shall promptly notify the party or parties liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any pending or threatened claim or demand that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to such right of indemnification (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third Party Claim”), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or demand; provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure, it being agreed that notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 6.01 for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(b) Upon receipt of a notice of a Third Party Claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 6.04(a), the Indemnifying Party will be entitled, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within 20 Business Days of the receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party); provided, that (i) the Indemnifying Party allows the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense, (ii) such Third Party Claim does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief that would be binding upon the Indemnified Party, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of such Third Party Claim actively. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 6.04(b), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume and control such defense, but the Indemnifying Party may nonetheless participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. SMHI shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim, including by furnishing books and records and personnel and witnesses, as appropriate for any defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense and control of a Third Party Claim, it shall be authorized to consent to a settlement or compromise of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, in its sole discretion and without the Consent of any Indemnified Party; provided, that such compromise, settlement or judgment (x) does not involve any injunctive relief or finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party and (y) by its terms unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party completely in respect of such Third Party Claim without any cost whatsoever to the Indemnified Party. No Indemnified Party will Consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to a Third Party Claim without the prior written Consent of the Indemnifying Party.

Section 6.05 Exclusive Remedy and Release. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, except as set forth in Section 7.12 and with respect to any claim of Fraud, the indemnification provisions of Section 6.02 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties for any Losses (including any Losses from claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or otherwise) that each Party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement by any Party, or any failure by any Party to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement that, by its terms, was to have been performed, or complied with, under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties hereby irrevocably waive any right of rescission they may otherwise have or to which they may become entitled.

Section 6.06 Additional Indemnification Provisions. With respect to each indemnification obligation contained in this Agreement, all Losses shall be (a) net of any Tax benefits actually realized by the Indemnified Party in connection with the incurrence of such Loss and (b) net of any third-party insurance or indemnity, contribution or similar proceeds that have been actually recovered by the Indemnified Party in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification (it being agreed that if third-party insurance or indemnification, contribution or similar proceeds in respect of such facts are recovered by the Indemnified Party subsequent to the Indemnifying Party’s making of an indemnification payment in satisfaction of its applicable indemnification obligation, such proceeds shall be promptly remitted to the Indemnifying Party to the extent of the indemnification payment made), and the Indemnified Party shall use, and cause its Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to seek full recovery under all insurance and indemnity, contribution or similar provisions covering such Loss to the same extent as it would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder. Upon making any payment to the Indemnified Party for any indemnification claim pursuant to this Article VI, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to any rights which the Indemnified Party may have against any third parties with respect to the subject matter underlying such indemnification claim, and the Indemnified Party shall assign any such rights to the Indemnifying Party. For purposes of this Section 6.06, a Tax benefit shall be deemed to have been actually realized if, and to the extent, the hypothetical Tax liability, if any, of the Indemnified Party (or any affiliated, combined, consolidated or unitary group of which the Indemnified Party is a member) for any taxable year, calculated without taking into account any Tax items attributable to the Loss, exceeds the actual Tax liability, if any, of the Indemnified Party (or any affiliated, combined, consolidated or unitary group of which the Indemnified Party is a member) for such taxable year, calculated by taking into account any Tax items attributable to such Loss.

Section 6.07 Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including this Article VI), neither Party shall be liable to the other Party or its Affiliates, whether in contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or otherwise, at Law or in equity, and “Losses” shall not include any amounts for any consequential, special, incidental, indirect, punitive or similar damages whatsoever (including lost profits, diminution of equity value, or damages calculated on multiples of earnings or other similar equity valuation approaches); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.07 shall prevent any OTM Indemnified Party or SEACOR Marine Indemnified Party from being indemnified pursuant to this Article VI for all components of awards against them in claims by third parties, including components of such awards to such third parties relating to consequential, special, incidental, indirect, punitive or similar damages (including lost profits, diminution of value, or damages calculated on multiples of earnings or other metrics approaches).

Section 6.08 Mitigation. Each of the Parties agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder; provided that neither Party will be required to initiate or exhaust any Proceedings (including any collection claims or Proceedings under any insurance policies) against any Person as a condition for such Party to demand indemnification for Losses pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

EXCEPT FOR ANY REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE III, ARTICLE IV OR IN ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, THE SEACOR MARINE TRANSFERRED EQUITY INTERESTS, THE OTM TRANSFERRED EQUITY INTERESTS, AND THE OTM TRANSFERRED ASSETS ARE BEING ACQUIRED “AS IS, WHERE IS,” AND THE PARTIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES AND REPRESENTATIVES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO LIABILITIES, OPERATIONS, TITLE, CONDITION, VALUE, OR QUALITY OF THE ASSETS OF THE JV ENTITIES, THE SEACOR MARINE GROUP, THE OTM GROUP OR THEIR RESPECTIVE BUSINESSES OR ANY PART THEREOF OR THE PROSPECTS (FINANCIAL AND OTHERWISE) AND RISKS OF THE PARTIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES AND REPRESENTATIVES AS THEY RELATE TO THE SEACOR MARINE TRANSFERRED EQUITY INTERESTS, THE OTM TRANSFERRED EQUITY INTERESTS, AND THE OTM TRANSFERRED ASSETS, AND THE PARTIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES AND REPRESENTATIVES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM, AND HEREBY WAIVE, ON BEHALF OF THEMSELVES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES AND REPRESENTATIVES, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, USAGE, OR SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR THE SUFFICIENCY OR CONDITION OF ASSETS OF THE JV ENTITIES, THE SEACOR MARINE GROUP, THE OTM GROUP OR THEIR RESPECTIVE BUSINESSES OR ANY PART THEREOF, OR AS TO THE WORKMANSHIP THEREOF, OR THE ABSENCE OF ANY DEFECTS THEREIN, WHETHER LATENT OR PATENT, OR COMPLIANCE WITH AND LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE USE, PRESENCE, DISPOSAL OR RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES AND ANY LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER OR WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE, COMPENSATION, AND LIABILITY ACT OR ANY OTHER ANALOGOUS FEDERAL, STATE OR FOREIGN LAW OR REGULATION), IN EACH CASE EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE III, ARTICLE IV OR IN ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT.

(b) The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached or threatened to be breached, and further agree that monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, each Party agrees, on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives, that, in the event of any non-performance or other breach or threatened breach by any Party of any of provision of this Agreement, the other Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief, and to enforce specifically the provisions of this Agreement, to prevent such non-performance or other breach or threatened breach of the such provisions.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases any and all causes of action or Proceedings that may otherwise be brought in equity or at Law, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Contracting Party or otherwise impose Liability or other obligation of any Contracting Party on any Non-Recourse Party, whether granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, Control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise and (b) each Contracting Party disclaims any reliance upon any Non-Recourse Party with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to this Agreement.
