2

“(a) Types and Coverage. The Shipowner will, at its own expense, when and so long as this Mortgage shall be outstanding, insure or cause to be insured the Vessel against the risks indicated below, in addition to such other risks which would be covered by experienced and responsible owners of similar vessels engaged in similar operations in places and under conditions comparable to those in which the Vessel is employed from time to time and possessing financial and operating characteristics similar to the Shipowner (“Similar Companies”) in accordance with the usual and customary practices of Similar Companies, and keep it insured, in the aggregate, in lawful money of the United States, for not less than the higher of (i) the amount of coverage that would be obtained by Similar Companies on the Vessel or (ii) an amount
8
with respect to such Vessel when aggregated with the coverage on all other Drilling Rigs and Lift Boats equals at least USD 190,000,000 (net of any and all deductibles), or, if less, for the amount of insurance coverage offered to the Shipowner by insurers for windstorm and other insurable perils, provided such insurance premiums are commercially viable for the Shipowner. Such insurance shall be on the basis of “new for old” with no deduction for depreciation and shall cover marine and war risk perils, on hull and machinery (including excess value), and shall be maintained in the broadest forms available in the American, British or equivalent insurance markets for vessels of the same type as the Vessel, provided that the premiums for the insurance coverage offered by insurers for windstorm and other insurable perils are commercially viable for the Shipowner, and provided that war risk insurance shall only be required if the Vessel operates outside of the United States territorial waters in the Gulf of Mexico, and provided further that the premiums for the insurance coverage offered by insurers for war risk insurance are commercially viable for the Shipowner. The Shipowner shall also obtain such workmen’s compensation or longshoremen’s and harbor worker’s insurance as shall be required by applicable law, including endorsements for Outer Continental Shelf operations, borrowed servant, voluntary compensation, and in rem claims. In addition, the Shipowner shall maintain or cause to be maintained protection and indemnity insurance, including coverage for contractual liability (unless contractual liability is covered under the general liability policy), contractual and legal wreck removal, crew coverage, salvage, general average, care, pollution, custody and control coverage through underwriters or associations reasonably acceptable to the Mortgagee in an amount commercially available from insurers provided that the premiums for the insurance coverage offered by insurers are commercially viable for the Shipowner. The Shipowner shall at all times during which the Vessel is operating within the jurisdiction of the United States of America, maintain or cause to be maintained insurance or post bond or maintain or cause to be maintained approved evidence of financial responsibility with respect to the Vessel to cover the actual cost of removal of discharged oil for which the Shipowner or the Vessel may be held strictly liable (or held liable due to the negligence of the Shipowner, any charterer or any other Person) under the Clean Water Act of 1977, OPA or the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, or under any other federal or state law which, in the future, may apply to the Vessel or to the Shipowner; and the Shipowner shall maintain insurance covering similar pollution risks or liabilities incident thereto under any law, regulation, or judicial decision of any foreign jurisdiction or jurisdictions or
9
political subdivision thereof applicable to the Shipowner, the Vessel, or its operations.”
(b) The Agent, Borrower and each Shipowner, as applicable, acknowledge and agree that Section 1.15(b) of each of the Mortgages is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, as follows:
“(b) Deductibles. All insurance required to be carried by the Shipowner pursuant to this Section 1.15 shall include a per occurrence deductible or self-insured retention amount not in excess of the amount which experienced and responsible owners of similar vessels engaged in similar operations in places and under conditions comparable to those in which the Vessel is employed from time to time and possessing financial and operating characteristics similar to the Shipowner.”
(c) The Agent, Borrower and each Shipowner, as applicable, acknowledge and agree that Section 1.15(c) of each of the Mortgages is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, as follows:
(c) Insurers; Provisions. The policy or policies of insurance shall be issued by responsible underwriters reasonably acceptable to the Mortgagee, shall contain conditions, terms, stipulations and insuring covenants reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee and shall be kept in full force and effect by the Shipowner so long as this Mortgage shall be outstanding, subject always to such insurance being available to the Shipowner at commercially viable premiums. All insurance policies, binders and other interim insurance contracts (with the exception of Workers’ Compensation, U.S. Longshoremen & Harbor Workers Compensation and Maritime Employers Liability) shall be executed and issued in the name of the Shipowner, shall name the Mortgagee and the Lenders in a manner such that they are afforded the stature of additional insureds, and shall provide that loss shall be payable to the Mortgagee for distribution by it to itself and the Shipowner as their interests may appear. The Mortgagee shall permit all insurance proceeds to be applied in the manner set forth in this Mortgage and in the Credit Agreement. All insurance policies shall provide (i) for at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice to be given to the Mortgagee by the underwriters or association or the Shipowner’s insurance broker in the event of cancellation or reduction in amount or material change in coverage or (ii) for at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to be given to the Mortgagee by the underwriters or association or the Shipowner’s insurance broker in the event of the failure of the Shipowner to pay any premium or call which would suspend coverage under the policy or the payment of a claim thereunder or (iii) for at least seven (7)
10
days’ prior notice to be given to the Mortgagee by the underwriters or association or the Shipowner’s insurance broker in the event of cancellation under the war risks insurance and (iv) that (A) there shall be no recourse against the Mortgagee (or its assignee) for the payment of premiums or commissions and (B) if such policies provide for the payment of club calls, assessments or advances, there shall be no recourse against the Mortgagee (or its assignee) for the payment thereof.
The foregoing amendments to the Mortgages shall govern the obligations of each Shipowner, the Borrower, and the Agent with respect to any future mortgage required to be delivered under the Credit Agreement.
6. Annex I to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated by deleting such Annex in its entirety and inserting replacement Annex I attached hereto as Attachment 1 in its place.
7. Exhibit D to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated by deleting such Exhibit in its entirety and inserting new Exhibit D attached hereto as Attachment 2 in its place.
8. Exhibit E-3 to the Credit Agreement (the Form of First Preferred Ship Mortgage) is hereby amended to conform to the changes in Section 5 of this Amendment.
9. Exhibit E-5 to the Credit Agreement (the Form of First Naval Ship Mortgage) is hereby amended to conform to the changes in Section 5 of this Amendment.
