<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Delaware corporations may indemnify their directors and officers, as well as other employees
and individuals, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation such as
a derivative action) if the individuals acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A
similar standard of care applies to actions by or in the right of the corporation, except that
indemnification extends only to expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in connection with
defense or settlement of such an action, and Delaware law requires court approval before any
indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation.

expenses to, and hold harmless, each of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved
in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was one of
our directors or officers or, while serving as one of our directors or officers, is or was serving
at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect
to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
except as otherwise provided in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, we will be required
under our certificate of incorporation and bylaws to indemnify, or advance expenses to, an
indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such indemnitee only if
the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the indemnitee was authorized by our board
of directors.

indemnify the applicable Contractual Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law
in the event that such Contractual Indemnitee, by reason of such Contractual Indemnitee&#146;s
relationship with us, was, is or is threatened to be made a party to or participant in any
threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, other than an action or proceeding by us or

assessed on the Contractual Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan) and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Contractual Indemnitee in connection with
such action or proceeding, provided that such Contractual Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a
manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, provided that he or she also had no reasonable cause
to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. We will also be obligated to indemnify such

indemnification against such expenses will nevertheless be made by us if and to the extent that the
court in which such action or proceeding has been brought or is pending determines that, despite
the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Contractual
Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Indemnification Agreements also provide for the advancement of all reasonable expenses
incurred by such Contractual Indemnitee in connection with any action or proceeding covered by the
Indemnification Agreement. The Contractual Indemnitee will be required to repay any amounts so
advanced if, and to the extent that, it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to
be indemnified by us against such expenses. The Contractual Indemnitee will further be required to
return any such advance to us which remains unspent at the conclusion of the action or proceeding
to which the advance related.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the Indemnification Agreements provide that we will use all commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain in effect during the entire period for which we are
obligated to indemnify a Contractual Indemnitee under his or her Indemnification Agreement, one or
more insurance policies providing our directors and officers coverage for losses from wrongful acts
and omissions and to ensure our performance of our indemnification obligations under each
Indemnification Agreement.

the payment by GulfMark of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person
of GulfMark 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,
GulfMark 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 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
General
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws generally provide that we will indemnify our
directors and officers to the full extent permitted by applicable law.
Indemnification and Insurance
Delaware corporations may indemnify their directors and officers, as well as other employees
and individuals, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation such as
a derivative action) if the individuals acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A
similar standard of care applies to actions by or in the right of the corporation, except that
indemnification extends only to expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with
defense or settlement of such an action, and Delaware law requires court approval before any
indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify and advance
expenses to, and hold harmless, each of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved
in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was one of
our directors or officers or, while serving as one of our directors or officers, is or was serving
at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect
to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including
attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
except as otherwise provided in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, we will be required
under our certificate of incorporation and bylaws to indemnify, or advance expenses to, an
indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such indemnitee only if
the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the indemnitee was authorized by our board
of directors.
On February 24, 2010, we entered into indemnification agreements (collectively, the
"Indemnification Agreements") with each of our directors and certain of our officers (each, a
"Contractual Indemnitee"). Pursuant to the indemnification agreements, we will be obligated to
indemnify the applicable Contractual Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law
in the event that such Contractual Indemnitee, by reason of such Contractual Indemnitee's
relationship with us, was, is or is threatened to be made a party to or participant in any
threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, other than an action or proceeding by us or
in our right, against all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines (including any excise taxes
assessed on the Contractual Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan) and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Contractual Indemnitee in connection with
such action or proceeding, provided that such Contractual Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a
manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, provided that he or she also had no reasonable cause
to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. We will also be obligated to indemnify such
Contractual Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in the event that such
Contractual Indemnitee, by reason of such Contractual Indemnitee's relationship with us, was, is or
is threatened to be made a party to or participant in any threatened, pending or completed action
or proceeding brought by us or in our right to procure a judgment in our favor, against all
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such Contractual Indemnitee in connection with such
action or proceeding, provided that such Contractual
3
Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to our best interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, no indemnification against
expenses incurred by such Contractual Indemnitee in connection with such an action or proceeding
brought by us or in our right will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which
such Contractual Indemnitee is adjudged to be liable to us or if applicable law prohibits such
indemnification being made; provided, however, that, in such event, if applicable law so permits,
indemnification against such expenses will nevertheless be made by us if and to the extent that the
court in which such action or proceeding has been brought or is pending determines that, despite
the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Contractual
Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.
The Indemnification Agreements also provide for the advancement of all reasonable expenses
incurred by such Contractual Indemnitee in connection with any action or proceeding covered by the
Indemnification Agreement. The Contractual Indemnitee will be required to repay any amounts so
advanced if, and to the extent that, it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to
be indemnified by us against such expenses. The Contractual Indemnitee will further be required to
return any such advance to us which remains unspent at the conclusion of the action or proceeding
to which the advance related.
In addition, the Indemnification Agreements provide that we will use all commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain in effect during the entire period for which we are
obligated to indemnify a Contractual Indemnitee under his or her Indemnification Agreement, one or
more insurance policies providing our directors and officers coverage for losses from wrongful acts
and omissions and to ensure our performance of our indemnification obligations under each
Indemnification Agreement.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a) GulfMark 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 Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the 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 the 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 Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
a 20 percent 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 the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the registration
statement;
5
Provided, however
, that 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 with
or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by GulfMark
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, 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) GulfMark hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of its annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in the 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.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, GulfMark has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by GulfMark of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person
of GulfMark 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,
GulfMark 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 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
