<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the Civil Code of the Republic of Panama (the &#147;PCC&#148;), an agent is indemnified against liability incurred in acting without
fault or imprudence on behalf of the agent&#146;s principal. It is the opinion of Arias, Fabrega&nbsp;&amp; Fabrega, McDermott&#146;s Panamanian counsel (&#147;Panamanian Counsel&#148;), that this provision would apply to indemnify directors and
officers against liability incurred in connection with the performance of their duties. According to Panamanian Counsel, Panamanian law does not recognize the concept of actions brought by stockholders in the right of the corporation against
directors or officers (i.e., derivative actions). Directors can be held liable to the corporation or stockholders only on demand made by resolution of the stockholders. </P>

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Panama Law
Under the Civil Code of the Republic of Panama (the "PCC"), an agent is indemnified against liability incurred in acting without
fault or imprudence on behalf of the agent's principal. It is the opinion of Arias, Fabrega & Fabrega, McDermott's Panamanian counsel ("Panamanian Counsel"), that this provision would apply to indemnify directors and
officers against liability incurred in connection with the performance of their duties. According to Panamanian Counsel, Panamanian law does not recognize the concept of actions brought by stockholders in the right of the corporation against
directors or officers (i.e., derivative actions). Directors can be held liable to the corporation or stockholders only on demand made by resolution of the stockholders.
By-Laws of McDermott
Article VI of the
Amended and Restated By-laws of McDermott provides for the indemnification of officers and directors as follows:
ARTICLE
VI—INDEMNIFICATION
Section 1. Each person (and the heirs, executors and administrators of such person) who is or was a director
and/or officer of the Company, whether elected or appointed (each such person being an "Indemnitee"), shall in accordance with Section 2 of this Article VI be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law in effect on the date of amendment and restatement of these By-Laws, and to such greater extent as applicable law may thereafter permit, including against any and all losses, liabilities, costs, damages and reasonable
expenses that may be paid or incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with or resulting from any actual or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding (whether brought by or in the right of the Company or otherwise), civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, or in connection with an appeal relating thereto, in which such Indemnitee may become
2
involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of such Indemnitee being or having been a director or officer of the Company or, if such Indemnitee shall be serving or shall have served in such
capacity at the request of the Company, as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity whether or not such Indemnitee continues to be such at the time such liability or
expense shall have been paid or incurred, provided such Indemnitee acted, in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company and in addition, in criminal actions or proceedings, had
no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. As used in this ARTICLE VI, the terms, "liability" and "expense" shall include, but shall not be limited to, counsel fees and disbursements and amounts of
judgments, fines or penalties against, and amounts paid in settlement by, such director or officer. The termination of any actual or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding, civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by judgment,
settlement (whether with or without court approval), conviction or upon a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that such Indemnitee did not meet the standards of conduct set forth in this
Section 1.
Section 2. Every Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 1 of this ARTICLE VI with
respect to any claim, action, suit or proceeding of the character described in such Section 1 in which he or she may become in any way involved as set forth in such Section 1, if (i) he or she has been wholly successful on the merits
or otherwise in respect thereof, or (ii) the Board of Directors acting by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to (or who have been wholly successful with respect to) such claim, action, suit or proceeding,
finds that such Indemnitee has met the standards of conduct set forth in such Section 1 with respect thereto, or (iii) a court determines that he or she has met such standards with respect thereto, or (iv) independent legal counsel
(who may be the regular counsel of the Company) deliver to the Company their written advice that, in their opinion, he or she has met such standards with respect thereto.
Section 3. For every such Indemnitee who has become or been threatened to become, a party to any actual or threatened claim, action, suit
or proceeding of any kind that might give right to such Indemnitee to indemnification under Section 1 of this Article VI (each, a "Matter"), the Company will advance all expenses reasonably incurred by or on behalf of that Indemnitee
in connection with that Matter, provided that Indemnitee shall have delivered an undertaking by or on behalf of that person to repay to the Company any expenses so advanced if it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Company under that Section 1 in respect of those expenses. The Company will accept any such undertaking of any such Indemnitee without regard to the financial ability of such Indemnitee to make such payment. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 3 will not require the Company to advance expenses with respect to any Matter initiated by or on behalf of any such Indemnitee against the Company or any of its subsidiaries, whether as an initial action or by
counter or similar claim, without the prior approval of the Board of Directors. The provisions of this Section 3 shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any person entitled to the benefits of this
Section 3. No amendment to this Section 3, directly or by amendment to any other provision of these By-Laws, shall have any retroactive effect with respect to any Matter arising from or based on any act or omission to act by any person
which occurs prior to the effectiveness of that amendment.
Section 4. The Company, by adoption of a resolution of the Board of
Directors, may indemnify and advance expenses to a person who is an employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company including any such person who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of any
other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity to the same extent and subject to the same conditions under which it may indemnity and advance expenses to an Indemnitee under this ARTICLE VI.
3
Section 5. The rights of indemnification under this ARTICLE VI shall be in addition to any
rights to which any such Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law.
Section 6. If any provision or
provisions of this ARTICLE VI shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and, to the
fullest extent possible, the provisions of this ARTICLE VI shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
Other Indemnification Arrangements
Additionally, McDermott's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation contain a provision that eliminates the personal liability of
each director to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of the director's fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for (i) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption or (iv) any transaction from
which that director derived an improper personal benefit. As a result, stockholders may be unable to recover monetary damages against directors for negligent or grossly negligent acts or omissions in violation of their duty of care.
McDermott also maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance for its directors and officers that protects them from certain
losses arising from claims or charges made against them in their capacities as directors or officers of McDermott.
Agreements McDermott
may enter into with underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of securities of McDermott may contain provisions relating to the indemnification of McDermott's officers and directors

Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
Provided, however,
that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference in
this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
5
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
