(a) Subject to Section 2.1(d), SEACOR shall provide to ERA any or all of the Services listed and described on Schedule A and such other Services as may from time to time be agreed between the parties in writing and added to Schedule A. Each Service shall be provided for the fee set forth for such Service on Schedule A or as the parties may otherwise agree in writing, in every case, all of the Services shall be provided in accordance with the terms, limitations and conditions set forth herein and on

Schedule A. For the avoidance of doubt, SEACOR shall have no obligation to provide services other than those set forth in Schedule A, and SEACOR shall have no obligation to provide additional services.

(b) Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the Services shall be performed by SEACOR for ERA in a manner that is substantially the same as the manner and level of support in which such Services were generally performed by SEACOR for ERA during the twelve (12) months prior to the date of this Agreement, and ERA shall use such Services for substantially the same purposes and in substantially the same manner as ERA had used such Services during the twelve (12) months prior to the date hereof unless otherwise mutually agreed.

(c) It is understood that SEACOR shall not be required to use its own funds or to otherwise pay for any goods or services purchased or required by ERA from third parties or for any other payment obligation of ERA.

(d) SEACOR may, in its sole discretion, engage a third party service provider or consultant (i) to provide the Services or (ii) to provide services to SEACOR. In the event SEACOR procures such services for SEACOR’s own benefit, upon ninety (90) days’ notice to ERA, SEACOR shall have no obligation to provide the Services pursuant to this Agreement to the extent such services (A) replace the Services or (B) result in the displacement, replacement, or termination of a material portion of the resources or personnel utilized by SEACOR to provide the Services hereunder; provided, however, that in the event that SEACOR procures such services from a third party, SEACOR may, in its sole discretion, opt to permit ERA to be a service recipient under the applicable SEACOR services or outsourcing agreement on terms and conditions to be determined by SEACOR in its sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, SEACOR shall have no obligation to permit ERA to be a service recipient under any such third party agreement, and SEACOR shall have no obligation to make any arrangements whatsoever to replace Services that SEACOR has no obligation to provide to ERA as a result of the terms and conditions of this Section 2.1(d).

2.2 Use of Services. SEACOR shall be required to provide the Services only to ERA in connection with the conduct by ERA of its business. ERA shall not resell any of the Services to any Person whatsoever or permit the use of the Services to any Person other than in connection with the conduct of ERA’s business in the ordinary course, consistent with past practices.

2.3 Personnel. SEACOR shall furnish all personnel reasonably necessary to provide the Services.

2.6 Representations and Warranties. Each party hereto represents and warrants that (a) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation; (b) it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; and (c) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by it and the performance by it of its obligations hereunder have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action.

SECTION 3

PAYMENT; WARRANTY; TAXES

3.1 Fees and Payment. At the end of each calendar month, ERA shall pay SEACOR the monthly fee calculated in accordance with the itemized fees set forth on Schedule A hereto for such month, in consideration for all Services provided by SEACOR to ERA under this Agreement during such month. The fee listed in Schedule A for those Services set forth in Section II of the table in Schedule A (“Network & Infrastructure” Services) shall be payable in full if any of the Services in such category are performed by SEACOR. For clarity, any termination of one or more Service category in Section II of the table set forth in Schedule A (“Network & Infrastructure” Services) shall not result in a reduction in such corresponding fee unless all Services categories in Section II of the table set forth in Schedule A are terminated, in which case the fee shall be reduced to zero because the applicable Services have been terminated in their entirety.

3.2 Adjustments. SEACOR shall have the right to make certain adjustments to the fees in accordance with the terms and conditions of Schedule A. In addition, ERA shall reimburse SEACOR for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by SEACOR at the request of ERA in connection with providing Services hereunder (other than compensation to SEACOR’s officers and employees engaged in rendering such Services to ERA). After the end of each calendar month, SEACOR shall deliver to ERA an invoice for the monthly fee payable with respect to Services provided by SEACOR under this Agreement, plus all expenses in respect of which SEACOR seeks reimbursement hereunder.

3.3 Payment. Statements will be rendered each calendar month by SEACOR to ERA for the Services delivered during the preceding month, and each such statement shall set forth in reasonable detail a description of such Services and the amounts charged therefor and shall be payable thirty (30) days after the date thereof. Statements not paid within such thirty (30) day period, unless such invoice is being challenged by ERA in good faith, shall be subject to late charges for each month or portion thereof the statement is overdue, calculated as the lesser of (a) the then current prime rate, plus one percentage point, or (b) the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, with respect to each Services category identified in Schedule A, ERA shall not be entitled to withhold more than one month’s worth of fees for the applicable Services category as disputed fees, and ERA shall pay to SEACOR within thirty (30) days after the date of the applicable statement any aggregate disputed fees in excess of one month’s fees for such Services category, in each case pending the resolution of the applicable dispute.

3.4 Disclaimer of Warranty. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES TO BE PURCHASED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE FURNISHED AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SEACOR DOES NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY THAT ANY SERVICE COMPLIES WITH ANY LAW OR REGULATION, DOMESTIC OR FOREIGN.

3.5 Taxes. In addition to the fees required to be paid by ERA to SEACOR for the Services provided hereunder, ERA shall pay all sales or use, withholding, VAT and other similar taxes properly assessed with respect to the receipt or use of the Services. ERA shall remit to the appropriate tax authorities (the “Tax Authorities”) any taxes required to be withheld by law from any fees payable to SEACOR hereunder. ERA shall submit to SEACOR evidence of payment of any such withholding tax to the Tax Authorities. In the event that SEACOR receives any credit, deduction or refund of such withholding tax from the Tax Authorities, it shall (a) promptly provide a copy of the certificate from the Tax Authorities showing the receipt of such credit, deduction or refund, and (b) provide ERA a credit for such amount against future monthly fees payable by ERA to Seller.

3.6 Software and Systems Transition; Certain Related Costs. ERA shall be solely responsible for procuring for its own benefit any equipment, software, services, consents, licenses, and any other assets and rights that may be required for ERA to operate its business following the expiration or termination of this Agreement or any Service. ERA may request that SEACOR transfer certain software licenses to ERA in connection with the transition contemplated in this Agreement, which request SEACOR may grant or reject in SEACOR’s sole discretion. In the event SEACOR agrees in its discretion to transfer certain licenses to ERA pursuant to an ERA request for such transfer, ERA shall pay directly or reimburse SEACOR for, as applicable with respect to each such software license, (a) SEACOR’s unamortized license fees and maintenance fees, (b) ERA’s prorated portion (as determined in good faith by SEACOR) of SEACOR’s costs and expenses to implement the software that is the subject of the license being transferred to ERA, and (c) any transfer fee, consent fee, or other similar fee or surcharge imposed by any third party who has the right to approve any such transfer or to require payment of any such amount in connection with the applicable transfer.

ERA shall bear SEACOR’s costs and expenses associated with the return of such documents. At its expense, SEACOR may make a copy of such books, records or files for its legal files. In the event SEACOR needs access to such books, records or files for legal or tax reasons, ERA shall cooperate with SEACOR to make such books, records or files available to SEACOR at SEACOR’s expense.

4.6 Effect of Termination. Sections 3.5, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 5.1, 5.3, 6 and 7 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. With respect to each Service, following any termination thereof, ERA shall be required to pay SEACOR the aggregate amount of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably and actually incurred by SEACOR arising out of or in connection with such termination, which shall include (without limitation), in each case as determined by SEACOR acting in good faith, (a) any severance costs paid by SEACOR as a result of such termination, (b) any unamortized prepaid expenses paid by SEACOR (e.g., software license, license renewal, or consent fees; prepaid travel or facilities fees) to the extent such expenses were incurred on an incremental, out-of-pocket basis by SEACOR in connection with SEACOR’s performance of any of its obligations set forth in this Agreement, including the performance of the Services, and (c) a pro-rata allocation of any capital expenditures incurred by SEACOR (i) to acquire new assets (including leased assets) or services to be utilized by SEACOR employees, agents, subcontractors, consultants or service providers in connection with SEACOR’s performance of the Services or (ii) to transition SEACOR’s then-current technology or operations utilized in SEACOR’s performance of the Services to a new or revised technology product, technology standard, facility, service provider or solution methodology, or regulatory requirement. With respect to out-of-pocket costs for which SEACOR is seeking reimbursement pursuant to this Section 4.6, SEACOR shall set forth such costs in reasonable detail in a written statement provided by SEACOR to ERA.

LIABILITIES

6.1 Consequential and Other Damages. Neither party shall be liable to the other party, whether in contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability), or otherwise, for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages whatsoever (including, to the extent such damages may be limited by contract under applicable law, punitive damages), which in any way arise out of, relate to, or are a consequence of, its performance or nonperformance hereunder, or the provision of or failure to provide any Service hereunder, including but not limited to loss of profits.
