EXECUTION VERSION


TRANSITIONAL AND FRAMEWORK SERVICES AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT IS DATED 30 NOVEMBER 2017 AND MADE BETWEEN:

(1)
Fugro N.V., a public limited liability company incorporated in the Netherlands, with seat in Leidschendam, and registered address at Veurse Achterweg 10, 2264 SG Leidschendam, the Netherlands, registered with the trade register of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce with number 27120091 ("Fugro");
and
(2)
Global Marine Systems Limited, a private limited liability company incorporated and registered in England and Wales with company number 01708481 whose registered address is at Ocean House, 1 Winsford Way, Boreham Interchange, Chelmsford CM2 5PD, United Kingdom ("GMSL"),
BACKGROUND:
(A)
The Parties and Global Marine Holdings LLC ("Global") entered into a business purchase agreement on 11 October 2017 ("BPA"), pursuant to which GMSL acquired Fugro's trenching business (the "Trenching Business") and Fugro obtained an (indirect) equity interest in Global (the "Transaction").
(B)
As part of the Transaction, GMSL agreed to enter into a service 'framework agreement' with Fugro under which Fugro would be the 'preferred provider' (at market pricing) for a range of survey, marine site investigation, asset integrity, ROV (operation) and other services needed by GMSL ("Framework Services"). GMSL agreed to commit to take on a pre-agreed set of these services upon completion of the Transaction and for the duration set out in this Agreement.
(C)
GMSL is also prepared to work with both its joint-venture partner in Huawei Marine Networks Co., Ltd. (a turnkey fiber-optics installation contractor operating on a world-wide basis - owned forty-nine percent (49%) by GMSL) ("Huawei JV") and its joint-venture partner in SB Submarine Systems Co. Limited (China) ("SBSS JV") to explore the possibility of establishing a similar framework agreement.
(D)
GMSL and Fugro agree to cooperate on future work prospects in the "non-trenching", "non-cable laying" market in the event Fugro requires additional vessel capacity.
(E)
Finally, Parties agreed that GMSL needs certain transitional services in connection with the Transaction and Fugro is willing to provide these Transitional Services at cost plus 10% unless otherwise agreed within the relevant Transitional Service Agreement.


(F)
It is acknowledged that the Parties are each in good faith committed to maximising the opportunities to trade throughout the Term, which includes the intention to enter into Framework Services Agreements where that is commercially beneficial for both Parties.
(G)
If GMSL or any of its Affiliates request a Service from Fugro, and Fugro is able to provide such Services pursuant to the terms set forth in this Agreement, Fugro and the relevant party will enter into a separate Service Agreement in accordance with this Agreement.
THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

1
DEFINITIONS
1Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule 1 (Definitions).
2
TRANSITIONAL SERVICES
2.1
Master Transitional Services Agreement
This Agreement is a master agreement. Each Transitional Service Agreement shall be construed as a separate and independent agreement for each Transitional Service provided thereunder, which incorporates the terms of this Agreement, except as such terms may be expressly varied by the terms of a specific Transitional Service Agreement whereby the terms of the Transitional Service Agreement shall prevail.
2.2
Services
2.2.1
This Agreement governs the overall relationship of the Parties in relation to the Transitional Services.
2.2.2
Schedule 1 (Agreed Transitional Services) includes the agreed form Transitional Service Agreements in respect of the Transitional Services that the Fugro Group will provide to the GMSL Group and Fugro and GMSL shall procure that these Transitional Service Agreements will be executed by the Provider and the relevant Recipient at or as soon as possible after the Effective Date.
2.2.3
This Agreement governs the overall relationship of the Parties in relation to the Transitional Services and until the last date of the Transition Period:

6 of 30



EXECUTION VERSION



(a)
each relevant Affiliate identified as Provider or Recipient shall, and each of the Parties shall, provide or receive or procure each of those Affiliates to provide or receive, as applicable, the relevant Transitional Services in accordance with the terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement, including the principles set forth in Clause 2.3 (Principles) and the relevant Transitional Service Agreement;
(b)
each Party shall, and shall procure that its relevant Affiliate identified as Provider or Recipient will, comply with the terms of this Agreement and the relevant Transitional Service Agreement; and
(c)
each Party shall be entitled to enjoy the benefit conferred on each of its relevant Affiliates identified as Provider under this Agreement and the relevant Transitional Service Agreement for and on behalf of such Provider.
2.3
Principles
2.3.1
The Transitional Services, with the exception of the service consisting of the sublease of the Aberdeen office facilities and parking or as specifically contemplated in any Transitional Service Agreement, will be carried out in accordance with the following principles:
(a)
the term during which any Transitional Service will need to be rendered will be kept as short as reasonably possible and will not extend beyond the relevant Transitional Service Term, unless agreed in writing between the Parties; and
(b)
GMSL shall procure that each Recipient will take all reasonable measures to be able to operate without the relevant Transitional Service provided to it as soon as reasonably possible, including making reasonable investments in respect thereof and entering into agreements on market terms with other service providers, when reasonably practicable.
2.3.2
The Parties shall apply the principles set out in Clause 2.3.1 in good faith and with a view to keep the Transition Period as short as possible (save as otherwise specifically contemplated in a Transitional Service Agreement). Such principles do not override any of the other provisions of this Agreement but shall serve as guiding principles to solve any unregulated matters and disagreements.


2.4
Standard of Transitional Services
2.4.1
Each Provider shall, and Fugro shall ensure that its Affiliates that act as Provider shall, ensure that the Transitional Services provided pursuant to this Agreement are provided:
(a)
on a 'cost-plus 10%' basis (unless otherwise agreed within the relevant Transitional Service Agreement);
(b)
with the scope, in the volumes, with the frequency, at a quality level and in a manner, that is in substantially the same form, to substantially the same extent, on substantially the same overall standards and quality and on substantially the same terms and conditions, in each case, as the Transitional Services it provided in the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the Effective Date, except as otherwise set out in the relevant Transitional Service Agreements;
(c)
with reasonable skill and care; and
(d)
in accordance with applicable Law.
2.4.2
Unless agreed otherwise in writing, no Provider shall be under any obligation to supply any extension of any Transitional Service beyond the standard and scope of such Transitional Service, nor any Transitional Service at a level of demand which exceeds the level of demand for that Transitional Service or similar service, during the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the Effective Date. No Provider shall be required to provide any Transitional Service to the extent that doing so would be contrary to any applicable Law.
2.4.3
If any Provider changes the standard and scope of any service it provides in its own business or to any of its Affiliates which is of a similar nature to any Transitional Service, such Provider may make similar changes to the standard and scope of such Transitional Service, provided that (a) such Provider shall notify the relevant Recipient in writing regarding the change within a reasonable period, in advance, and, unless otherwise agreed in writing, (b) the standard and scope of such changed Transitional Service is not, when considered as a whole, materially lower than the standard and scope of the Service provided prior to such modifications.
2.5
Relationship with Third Party Suppliers
2.5.1
Subject to Clauses 2.5.2 and 2.5.3 to the extent it relates to the provision of a Transitional Service by a Provider to the relevant Recipient, the Provider may exclusively manage its relationship with Third Party Suppliers and a Recipient shall not discuss the provision of a Transitional Service with any Third Party Supplier, except (i) with prior written consent of the relevant Provider or (ii) to

8 of 30



EXECUTION VERSION


the extent required to do so by a competent court, judicial or regulatory authority or to enable the Recipient to comply with its obligations under applicable Law.
2.5.2
Nothing in this Clause 2.5 (Relationship with Third Party Suppliers) will be interpreted as restricting any approach to a Third Party Supplier by a Recipient to discuss or agree service delivery after the Transition Period.
2.5.3
If a Third Party Supplier is in breach of a Third Party Agreement or does not rectify an issue relating to the provision of the Transitional Services for which it is responsible, the Parties shall cooperate and use their reasonable efforts to identify a resolution to such breach or issue and shall, subject to the terms and conditions of such Third Party agreement and the relevant Transitional Service Agreement, consult with each other to determine who will be responsible for any costs, expenses, fees, or charges incurred in relation to such resolution and who may bring any cause of action against the Third Party Supplier for such breach or failure to rectify, in each case insofar as it relates to the Recipient.
2.5.4
The Provider shall regularly disclose to the Recipient the amounts charged by Third Party Suppliers. Where Third Party Suppliers increase their charges in relation to services that are necessary for the provision of a Transitional Service, other than charges for Third Party Consents, such Provider may, subject to: (i) disclosure of the relevant terms to the Recipient; (ii) the Provider having used reasonable efforts to negotiate with the Third Party Supplier to minimise or eliminate the increase in charges; and (iii) the Provider having provided reasonable prior notice to and consultation with, the Recipient, charge the Recipient for such part of the increase as reasonably attributable to the Transitional Services (in addition to the Charges), as long as the relevant Services are provided. Charge increases of more than 10% require the Recipient's prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Recipient does not approve, the Recipient may terminate the Transitional Service by giving one month's notice and after having reimbursed the Provider for the Recipient's equitable part of the costs incurred by the Provider in connection with such termination.
2.6
Third Party Consents
2.6.1
The Parties shall cooperate and use their best endeavours to obtain in writing all Third Party Consents, including extensions, necessary for the provision of the Services.


2.6.2
Each Recipient shall provide the relevant Provider with such assistance as such Provider may reasonably require to obtain any Third Party Consents.
2.6.3
A Recipient shall pay for any fees, charges or costs imposed by a Third Party Supplier relating to the provision or extension of any Third Party Consent in relation to a Service exclusively provided to such Recipient. For Services that are not exclusively provided to such Recipient, the Recipient shall bear such equitable portion of the cost as is attributable to the Service provided to such Recipient.
2.6.4
Where:
(a)
Third Party Consent is required in order for a Provider to provide any (part of a) Transitional Service; and
(b)
(i) such consent has not been obtained and the relevant Third Party Supplier has notified the Provider that it does not consent to the provision of that (part of the) Transitional Service; (ii) such consent expires before the end of the relevant Transitional Service Term; or (iii) the relevant Third Party Supplier has notified the Provider that it has terminated or revoked such consent,
the Provider shall be excused from providing the relevant (part of the) Transitional Service. In such event, the Provider shall notify the relevant Recipient as soon as reasonably practicable and the Parties shall use reasonable endeavours to put in place alternative arrangements to enable the Provider to provide services that are similar in all material respects to the Transitional Service for which the Third Party Consent was required. The cost of putting such alternative arrangements in place, where they are put in place exclusively for the Recipient, shall be borne by the Recipient. If the Parties cannot jointly solve the issue or agree on an alternative arrangement following good faith discussions, the Recipient will have the right to put in place alternative arrangements at its cost. If and to the extent the Provider ceases to provide the relevant (part of the) Service there shall be an equitable reduction in the Charges to reflect any cost savings to the Provider as a result of such cessation.
3
FRAMEWORK SERVICES
3.1
Master Framework Services Agreement
This Agreement is a master agreement. Each Framework Services Agreement shall be construed as a separate and independent agreement for each Framework Service provided thereunder, which incorporates the terms of this Agreement, except as such terms may be expressly varied or supplemented by the terms of a specific Framework Service Agreement, whereby the terms of such Framework Services Agreement shall prevail, provided that in case of a conflict between Clause 3 (Framework Services), 8.3.2 or 9.2 (Liquidated damages) (the "Prevailing Clauses") and a provisions of a Framework Service Agreement, the relevant Prevailing Clause shall apply. Such

10 of 30



EXECUTION VERSION


supplemental terms shall include all terms and conditions specific to and customary for each such Framework Service. Parties shall procure that their relevant Affiliates act in accordance with the foregoing agreement.
3.2
Obligation to request an offer from Fugro
3.2.1
During the Initial Framework Term, and subject to Clause 3.2.4, the Fugro Group will hold preferred provider status for the Framework Services, with the rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement.
3.2.2
During the Initial Framework Term and to the extent a Framework Service cannot be provided under an existing Framework Service Agreement, the GMSL Group shall advise Fugro of the scope and specifications of any additional Framework Service(s) required by any GMSL Group Company as soon as reasonably possible but in any event at the same time as a request (for a proposal) for the relevant Framework Service(s) is made with any Third Party.
3.2.3
For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not restrict the GMSL Group from simultaneously requesting a proposal or offer for the relevant Framework Service(s) from a Third Party.
3.2.4
GMSL’s obligations under this Clause 3.2, Clause 3.3 and Clause 9.2 shall cease to apply per relevant Framework Service if (a) Fugro is in persistent breach of Clause 3.5 and such breach is material to the provision of the relevant Framework Service, and (b) Fugro has been given written notice by GMSL of such breach containing details of the breach and has subsequently not remedied the relevant breach within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of such notice.
3.3
Preferred services provider arrangement
3.3.1
Subject to Clauses 3.3.2 and 3.3.4, if the GMSL Group wishes to acquire a Framework Service, the GMSL Group shall acquire such Framework Service from the Fugro Group during the Initial Framework Term, as further identified in Clause 6.2, and shall enter into a Framework Service Agreement with the relevant member of the Fugro Group for such Framework Service, except if:
(a)
a Third Party made an offer to provide such Framework Service (or a similar service) on equivalent or more favourable terms and conditions, and at similar or better quality, at a price that is at least 5% (five percent) lower than offered by the relevant Fugro Group Company; or


(b)
Fugro has notified GMSL that no Fugro Group Company is able or willing to provide the requested Framework Service; or
(c)
neither Fugro nor any Fugro Group Company responds to the GMSL Group’s request for a Framework Service within fifteen (15) Business Days after the GMSL Group’s offer or request is issued; or
(d)
GMSL withdraws its request and elects not to proceed,
in which case no GMSL Group Company shall have any obligation to acquire such Framework Service from any Fugro Group Company.
3.3.2
If GMSL, acting reasonably and in good faith, determines that the pricing offered by a Fugro Group Company exceeds the price specified in Clause 3.3.1(a) for a Framework Service (or similar service) comparable in scope and standards of quality and with equivalent or more favourable terms and conditions, it will provide notice of this to Fugro with reasonable documented supporting evidence which allows Fugro to assess the details of the more favourable offer or proposal made by the relevant Third Party, provided that nothing in this Clause shall oblige GMSL to breach any obligation of confidentiality it owes to a Third Party.
3.3.3
If Fugro decides to revise its pricing and match the quality of work and pricing offered by the relevant Third Party in accordance with the foregoing sub-clause, the relevant GMSL Group Company shall accept such revised offer and acquire the relevant Framework Service from Fugro. In the latter case, no member of the GMSL Group shall request such Third Party for a revised offer in respect of the relevant Framework Service.
3.3.4
If the Fugro Group elects not to revise its pricing offered in accordance with Clause 3.3.2, the GMSL Group will be released from the obligation of Clause 3.3.1 in respect of the requested Framework Service. The foregoing release will not release the GMSL Group from the obligation to acquire any Framework Service required thereafter (including any Framework Service that in an earlier case was not carried out by Fugro) from the Fugro Group on a preferred basis during the term of the Agreement, as further identified in Clause 6.2.
3.3.5
Nothing in this Agreement shall bar or prohibit the GMSL Group from performing any of the services which are the same or similar to the relevant Framework Service within its organisation.

EXECUTION VERSION


3.3.6
The Parties shall in good faith discuss Failed Bids (as defined below) in accordance with Clause 11.2.
3.4
Framework Service Agreements
3.4.1
Schedule 4 (Agreed Framework Service Agreements) includes the agreed form Framework Service Agreements in respect of the Framework Services that the Fugro Group will in any event provide to the GMSL Group and Fugro and GMSL shall procure that these Framework Service Agreements will be executed by the Provider and the relevant Recipient at or as soon as possible after the Effective Date.
3.4.2
If any additional Framework Service cannot be provided under an existing Framework Agreement, Parties shall, or shall cause that their relevant Affiliates, enter into a new Framework Service Agreement to the extent possible in similar form as the Framework Service Agreements included in Schedule 4 (Agreed Framework Service Agreements) or, to the extent Parties determine in good faith that the foregoing would not be appropriate in respect of the relevant Framework Service, a form based on the standard contracts for the UK offshore oil & gas industry as published by Logic or similar bodies.
3.5
Standard of Framework Services
3.5.1
Fugro shall, and shall ensure that each Provider shall, provide the Framework Services in accordance with:
(a)
that level of skill, care, prudence, judgment, foresight, integrity and diligence that would be reasonably expected of a Third Party provider of services similar to the Framework Services; and
(b)
applicable Law.
4
VESSEL SERVICES
Each Party agrees to inform the other Party in case it requires any additional vessel capacity and is or should reasonably be aware that the other Party has vessel capacity with the required specifications. The informed Party may, subject to availability, elect to offer the required vessel capacity at its terms and conditions to the informing Party. The informing Party may subsequently, in its sole discretion and without any obligation, elect to use the vessel offered by the informed Party on the offered terms and conditions so offered. For the avoidance of doubt and subject to the foregoing, each Party shall use reasonable best endeavours to make use of the other Party's vessel capacity if possible and required.


5
HUAWEI JOINT VENTURE AND SBSS JOINT VENTURE
GMSL shall use reasonable efforts to procure that the Huawei JV and the SBSS JV enter into a similar framework agreement with Fugro or another member of the Fugro Group pursuant to which the Fugro Group becomes the 'preferred provider' (at market pricing) of the Huawei JV and the SBSS JV for Framework Services. GMSL shall in any event use reasonable efforts to procure that Fugro (i) can as soon as reasonably possible after the Effective Date periodically showcase its services to the management of the Huawei JV and the SBSS JV, (ii) may tender for any service required by the Huawei JV and the SBSS JV that a member of the Fugro Group can provide and, in the case the relevant member of the Fugro Group’s offer of services is substantially similar or better in scope, terms and conditions (including price) as any competing offer, GMSL shall use its decision and management powers in the Huawei JV or SBSS JV (as applicable) to procure, so far as it is able given such powers and subject to any fiduciary duties that any director appointed by GMSL to the boards of such companies may have, that the Huawei JV or SBSS JV (as applicable) award any such tender to the relevant member of the Fugro Group.
6
TERM
6.1
Commencement
This Agreement will become effective on the Effective Date. Application of section 7:408 of the Dutch Civil Code is excluded.
6.2
Expiry
6.2.1

(a)
with regard to any obligation connected to the Transitional Services, including, but without limitation, any obligation stemming from Clause 2 (Transitional Services), and subject to Clause 6.3: on the expiry of the last Transitional Service Term ("Transition Period"); and
(b)
with regard to any obligation connected to the Framework Services, including, but without limitation, any obligation stemming from Clause 3 (Framework Services): on the last date of the Framework Term, subject to the provision of Clause 6.4.
6.2.2
Expiry of this Agreement will not cause the expiry or termination of any Framework Service Agreement in effect prior to the date of expiry of this Agreement. Any such Framework Agreement will expire on the date set out therein.

14 of 30



EXECUTION VERSION


6.3
Transitional Service Term extension
If within twenty (20) Business Days prior to the expiry of a Transitional Service Term, GMSL notifies Fugro that the relevant Recipient is not, having used all reasonable efforts to do so, able to operate without the relevant Transitional Service and the Fugro Group can reasonably provide such Transition Service, the Parties shall in good faith agree an extension to that Transitional Service Term, which Fugro shall not unreasonably refuse.
6.4
Framework Term extension
The Parties may extend the Framework Term of this Agreement for successive terms consisting of twelve (12) months each (the "Framework Extension Term"), by mutual agreement at least twenty (20) Business Days before the end of the then-current term.
7
TERMS OF SERVICES
7.1
Charges for the Services
7.1.1
Unless explicitly agreed otherwise in the relevant Service Agreement, the monthly Charge is the aggregate amount monthly charged under each Service Agreement.
7.1.2
Charges will be fixed for the term stated within the relevant Service Agreement except to the extent the Parties agree to vary the Charges in writing or as provided for in Clause 2.5.4 and 7.1.3. Subject to Clause 2.5.4, any increase or decrease in Charges will not take effect until twenty (20) Business Days after the adjustment to the Charges has been agreed or otherwise taken to have occurred by the Parties.
7.1.3
Any Provider must promptly notify the relevant Recipient if it considers, acting reasonably, that any change to the Service required by a Recipient will materially increase or decrease the costs to the Provider of providing such Service.
7.1.4
A notice under Clause 7.1.3 must set out the Provider's reasonable calculation of any adjustment to the Charges to reflect the actual and proportionate increase or decrease in the cost in providing the Service as a result of the change on a pass-through basis and with any mark-up together with evidence to substantiate the increase or decrease.
7.2
No withholding and gross-up
All sums payable under this Agreement and the Service Agreements shall be paid gross, free and clear of all Tax Deductions, save only as may be required by Law. If a payor is required by Law to make a Tax Deduction under this Agreement or a Service


Agreement, the amount of the payment will be increased to an amount which, after making the required Tax Deduction, leaves the recipient in the same after-Tax position as it would have been, had no Tax Deduction been required. For the avoidance of doubt, this Clause 7.2 (No withholding and gross-up) does not apply to any income or trade Tax due by the Recipient in respect of any sum payable under or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or a Service Agreement. The payor and the recipient shall cooperate to minimise any Tax Deduction to the extent legally permissible.
7.3
VAT
7.3.1
All amounts stated in this Agreement are exclusive of VAT, if any. If any VAT (other than reverse charge VAT) is chargeable on any delivery of Services under this Agreement or a Service Agreement, the Recipient shall pay to the Provider, in addition to the Charge, an amount equal to the amount of the applicable VAT against delivery of an invoice that is appropriate and valid under the applicable VAT rules.
7.3.2
Each Party, Provider and Recipient shall cooperate to minimise any VAT due on invoices to the extent legally permitted.
7.4
Invoicing and payment terms
7.4.1
The Provider shall invoice the Recipient for each Service.
7.4.2
In case of recurring fixed charge services, the Provider shall invoice on a monthly basis at the beginning of the month in which the service is to be provided.
7.4.3
In case of variable cost charges, the Provider shall invoice every two (2) weeks, after each two (2) week period in which the relevant Service was delivered or performed.
7.4.4
The Recipient shall notify the relevant Provider as soon as reasonably possible if it considers the invoice incorrect, together with the reasons thereof, and may only withhold payment of any amounts that it disputes in good faith.
7.4.5
The Recipient shall pay all undisputed invoice amounts within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of such invoice.
7.5
Validity of any Service Agreement
7.5.1
No Service Agreement has any legal effect until each party to the Service Agreement has validly signed such agreement.

16 of 30



EXECUTION VERSION


7.5.2
If a Service Agreement is signed in counterparts, these counterparts will count as one agreement.
8
TERMINATION
8.1
Termination for cause
Without detracting from Clause 8.2 (Termination for breach), each Party may terminate this Agreement and each Provider and each Recipient may terminate any Service Agreement in accordance with Clause 8.7 (Notice of termination) in the event that:
(a)
the other Party has ceased to exist or has been dissolved other than for the sake of a business merger; or
(b)
the other Party has been declared bankrupt or has been granted suspension of payments by an irrevocable court decision, unless such Party gives reasonable assurance that it will and will be able to continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
8.2
Termination for breach
8.2.1
Without detracting from Clause 8.1 (Termination for cause), each Party may terminate this Agreement (in whole or in part) if the other Party is in material breach of any obligation under this Agreement in accordance with Clause 8.7 (Notice of termination), provided that:

Fugro shall have the right to audit the firewall, and may use automated tools to verify that the firewall is in accordance with Fugro’s standards.
14.3
Temporary disconnection
If Fugro reasonably believes that actions by the GMSL Group or the GMSL Group’s use of or access to the Computer Systems or the Fugro Network, in each case in breach of this Agreement, are causing a material adverse impact on the business operations of any member of the Fugro Group (by way of example only, an inability to conduct critical operations as a result of a computer virus), Fugro shall, after taking such other alternative actions as, in the circumstances, could reasonably have been expected of Fugro to consider and take, have the right to temporarily disconnect the relevant member(s) of the GMSL Group from the relevant parts of the Fugro Network. In this case, both Parties shall use their reasonable endeavours to take steps such that the problems in question are brought to an end.

The Employer and the Host are referred to herein individually as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties".

WHEREAS, the Host is engaged in the business of Offshore Trenching Services (the "Business");

WHEREAS, the Employer employs personnel possessing skills that could assist the Host in the performance of its Business;

WHEREAS, the Host desires to utilize on a full time, temporary basis personnel of the Employer identified in Exhibit 1 to this Agreement (each a “Secondee”) to perform the duties described in Exhibit 1 to this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Employer and the Host desire to set forth the terms and conditions by which a Secondee is seconded to the Host by the Employer.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Employer and the Host hereby agree as follows:

1.    SECONDMENT

The Employer shall second the Secondee to the Host in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (the “Secondment”). The Secondment shall be on a full time basis and commence on the date set forth in Exhibit 1 and continue thereafter for the period of time set forth in Exhibit 1 to this Agreement (the “Secondment Period”). If applicable, the Host shall provide, at its cost without reimbursement from the Employer, roundtrip transportation for the Secondee from the Secondee’s point of origin to the location specified by the Host in Exhibit 1 where the Secondee shall perform his or her duties for the Host (the Secondment Location”). During the Secondment Period, the Secondee shall perform the duties for the Host described in Exhibit 1 under the supervision and control of the Host. The Secondee shall at all times be and remain an employee of the Employer, but shall, during the Secondment Period, report to and act upon the instructions of the Host. Accordingly, the Host assumes full responsibility for the acts of the Secondee during the Secondment Period. The Secondee shall resume the performance of his or her duties for the Employer when the Secondment Period ends.

2.    PAYMENT

2.1 Payroll and Benefits.



During the Secondment Period, (a) the Secondee shall remain on the payroll of the Employer and continue to be eligible for and accrue benefits under those employment benefits plans of the Employer in which the Secondee participated immediately prior to the Secondment (the “Plans”); and (b) the Employer shall continue to compensate the Secondee in the same amount and manner as before the Secondment including the withholding and payment of taxes and, to the extent permitted by the Plans and by applicable law, provide the benefits to which the Secondee is entitled pursuant to the Plans, in each case, in a timely manner.

2.2 Reimbursement of Secondee Costs.

The Host agrees to pay to the Employer the agreed daily hire rate as specified within Exhibit 1 herein and any actual out-of-pocket expenses (documented cost plus ten percent (+10%)) that are incurred by the Secondee or the Employer in the course of the Secondee’s performance of his or her duties and paid for or reimbursed by the Employer all as reasonably determined by the Employer using its usual methods of cost accounting.

2.3 Invoicing.

On the first business day of each month, the Employer shall submit to the Host an invoice setting out the daily hire charges and any out of pocket expenses incurred as a result of the performance of the Secondee during the preceding month and all in accordance with Clause 2.2 above. Subject to the following sentence, the Host shall pay each invoice no later than thirty (30) days after its receipt thereof by wire transferring to the Employer’s bank account designated in the invoice immediately available funds equal to the amount set forth in such invoice. The Host may deduct from any invoiced amount any amounts to be reimbursed by the Employer to the Host pursuant to Section 5 whereupon the Host shall pay the revised invoiced amount in the manner provided for in this subsection.

3.    RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE EMPLOYER AND THE HOST

3.1 Employer Rights and Obligations.

The Employer shall perform all obligations which may be imposed on it by law or otherwise in its capacity as employer of the Secondee. The Employer shall determine in its sole discretion the compensation and benefits that are provided to the Secondee during the Secondment Period. The Host shall have no right to terminate the employment of the Secondee with the Employer, but may, for just cause, request that the Employer replace the Secondee with another employee of the Employer. The Employer may, at any time and in its discretion, terminate the employment of the Secondee during the Secondment Period.

3.2 Compliance with Laws.

The Host shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations to permit the Secondee to legally work for the Host during the Secondment Period including, if required, obtaining visas, work permits, taxpayer identification numbers, driver’s licenses or other documentation.

35. GLOBAL NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEM

Insert new Clause 35 as follows:

35.1. The CONTRACTOR has no control over any part and shall not be liable to the COMPANY GROUP in respect of the WORK to the extent that such failure of performance is due to the failure of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems space and ground segments ("GNSS"), as described below. For the avoidance of doubt, any warranty provided herein shall specifically exclude the GNSS.

35.2. COMPANY acknowledges as follows:

(a) GNSS has been developed and is operated by the United States Department of Defence and the Russian Federal Space Agency (“the GNSS Operators”) and if the level of performance of the GNSS is impaired or ceases operation due to any act or omission of the GNSS Operators and/or any other authority and/or regulatory body which may now or later have responsibility for any aspects of the GNSS, then CONTRACTOR shall not be held responsible for any such act or omission, regardless of whether a complete or partial withdrawal or modification of the GNSS results; and

(b) Differential GNSS (“DGNSS”) relies upon the availability of normal uninterrupted satellite and telecommunications services; power supplies (including electrical supplies); equipment which may be owned or controlled by COMPANY or third parties (other than members of CONTRACTOR GROUP), and to the extent that the unavailability of such services, supplies or equipment affects the performance of the WORK, the CONTRACTOR shall not be liable therefor.

35.3. COMPANY agrees that the CONTRACTOR shall not be liable to COMPANY for, and indemnifies CONTRACTOR GROUP from and against, any loss or damage or other liability suffered or incurred by COMPANY GROUP arising out of or in connection with the provision of or failure to provide DGNSS; or the unavailability, malfunctioning, interruption or other defect in such services, supplies or equipment referred to in this clause hereof for which third parties or COMPANY are responsible pursuant to Clause 35.2 above. No such unavailability, malfunctioning, interruption, non-operation or other defect shall relieve COMPANY of any of its obligations in the CONTRACT.
