CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of TechnipFMC plc (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements usually relate to future events, market growth and recovery, growth of our New Energy business and anticipated revenues, earnings, cash flows, or other aspects of our operations or operating results. Forward-looking statements are often identified by the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “foresee,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “may,” “estimate,” “outlook”, “commit,” “target,” and similar expressions, including the negative thereof. The absence of these words, however, does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, beliefs, and assumptions concerning future developments and business conditions and their potential effect on us. While management believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate.
All of our forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties (some of which are significant or beyond our control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. Known material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements include those set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, unpredictable trends in the demand for and price of oil and natural gas; competition and unanticipated changes relating to competitive factors in our industry, including ongoing industry consolidation; our inability to develop, implement and protect new technologies and services and intellectual property related thereto; the cumulative loss of major contracts, customers or alliances and unfavorable credit and commercial terms of certain contracts; disruptions in the political, regulatory, economic and social conditions, or public health crisis in the countries where we conduct business; unexpected geopolitical events, armed conflicts, and terrorism threats; the refusal of the Depository Trust Company to act as depository and clearing agency for our shares; the impact of our existing and future indebtedness; a downgrade in our debt rating; the risks caused by our acquisition and divestiture activities; additional costs or risks from increasing scrutiny and expectations regarding sustainability matters; uncertainties related to our investments, including those related to energy transition; the risks caused by fixed-price contracts; our failure to timely deliver our backlog; our reliance on subcontractors, suppliers and our joint venture partners; a failure or breach of our IT infrastructure or that of our subcontractors, suppliers or joint venture partners, including as a result of cyber-attacks; risks of pirates and maritime conflicts endangering our maritime employees and assets; any delays and cost overruns of capital asset construction projects for vessels and manufacturing facilities; potential liabilities inherent in the industries in which we operate or have operated; our failure to comply with existing and future laws and regulations, including those related to environmental protection, climate change, health and safety, labor and employment, import/export controls, currency exchange, bribery and corruption, taxation, privacy, data protection and data security; uninsured claims and litigation against us; the additional restrictions on dividend payouts or share repurchases as an English public limited company; tax laws, treaties and regulations and any unfavorable findings by relevant tax authorities; significant changes or developments in U.S. or other national trade policies, including tariffs and the reactions of other countries thereto; potential departure of our key managers and employees; adverse seasonal, weather, and other climatic conditions; unfavorable currency exchange rates; risk in connection with our defined benefit pension plan commitments; and our inability to obtain sufficient bonding capacity for certain contracts. We caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of our forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.

TECHNIPFMC PLC AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of TechnipFMC plc and its consolidated subsidiaries (“TechnipFMC,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pertaining to interim financial information. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Our accounting policies are in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with these accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate results could differ from our estimates.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial condition and operating results as of and for the periods presented. Revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these condensed consolidated financial statements may not be representative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Recently Issued Accounting Standards under GAAP
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB") issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires significant additional disclosures about income taxes, primarily focused on the disclosure of income taxes paid and the rate reconciliation table. The new guidance will be applied prospectively and is effective in the 2025 annual period and in 2026 for interim periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which requires public business entities to provide disaggregated disclosures of income statement expenses in the footnotes. This includes detailed breakdowns of expenses such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. The new guidance will be applied prospectively (with retrospective application permitted) and is effective in the 2027 annual period and in 2028 for interim periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the related disclosures.
We assessed ASUs and disclosure requirements not listed above and determined that they either were not applicable or were not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
NOTE 3. REVENUE
The majority of our revenue is from long-term contracts associated with designing and manufacturing products and systems and providing services to customers involved in the exploration and production of oil and natural gas.
Disaggregation of Revenue
Revenues are disaggregated by geographic location and contract types.
The following tables present total revenue by geography for each reportable segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, costs, and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts (contract assets), and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts (contract liabilities) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any expected contract losses are recorded in the period in which they become probable.
Contract Assets - Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under long-term contracts when revenue is recognized over time and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not just subject to the passage of time. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts are generally classified as current.
Contract Liabilities - We sometimes receive advances or deposits from our customers, before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities.
The following table provides information about net contract liabilities as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| (In millions) | June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||||||||||||
| Contract assets | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
| Contract liabilities | ( | ( | ||||||||||||
| Net contract liabilities | $ | ( | $ | ( | ||||||||||
The increase in our contract assets from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025 was primarily due to the timing of project milestones.
The increase in our contract liabilities was primarily driven from an overall portfolio and client mix enabling an acceleration of client cash payments in advance.
In order to determine revenue recognized in the period from contract liabilities, we first allocate revenue to the individual contract liability balance outstanding at the beginning of the period until the revenue exceeds that balance. Any subsequent revenue we recognize increases the contract asset balance. Revenue recognized for the
three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 that was included in the contract liabilities balance as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $340.8 million and $368.6 million, respectively, and $950.0 million and $848.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Net revenue recognized from our performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods had a favorable impact of $51.7 million and $16.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 we had a favorable impact of $71.1 million and $16.8 million, respectively.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no projects with individually material impacts. One project was materially and favorably impacted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 by $62.8 million and $86.3 million, respectively, as a result of improved performance in the delivery and was offset by individually immaterial net negative impacts of $46.6 million and $69.5 million, respectively.
12
Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations
Remaining unsatisfied performance obligations (or “order backlog”) represent the transaction price for products and services for which we have a material right, but work has not been performed. The transaction price of the order backlog includes the base transaction price, variable consideration, and changes in transaction price. The order backlog table does not include contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed. The transaction price of order backlog related to unfilled, confirmed customer orders is estimated at each reporting date.

NOTE 4. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Management’s determination of our reporting segments was made on the basis of our strategic priorities within each segment and the differences in the products and services we provide, which corresponds to the manner in which our Chair and Chief Executive Officer, as our chief operating decision maker, reviews and evaluates operating performance and allocates resources. We operate under two reporting segments, Subsea and Surface Technologies:
•Subsea - designs and manufactures products and systems, performs engineering, procurement, and project management, and provides services used by oil and gas companies involved in offshore exploration and production of oil and natural gas.
•Surface Technologies - designs, manufactures, and supplies technologically advanced wellhead systems and pressure control products used in well completion and stimulation activities for oilfield service companies. We also provide installation, flowback and other services for exploration and production companies.
Segment operating profit is defined as total segment revenue less segment operating expenses. Income from equity method investments is included in segment operating profit. The following items have been excluded in computing segment operating profit: corporate staff expense, foreign exchange gains (losses), net interest income (expense), and income taxes.

NOTE 6. RECEIVABLES
We manage our receivables portfolios using published default risk as a key credit quality indicator for our loans and receivables. Our loans receivables and other are related to sales of long-lived assets or businesses, loans to related parties for capital expenditure purposes, or security deposits for lease arrangements.

Credit Losses
For contract assets and trade receivables, we have elected to calculate an expected credit loss based on loss rates from historical data. We develop loss-rate statistics on the basis of the amount written-off over the life of the financial assets and contract assets and adjust these historical credit loss trends for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment to determine lifetime expected losses.
For loans receivables and other securities at amortized cost, we evaluate whether these securities are considered to have low credit risk at the reporting date using available, reasonable, and supportable information.

Credit Facilities and Debt
Revolving Credit Facility - On February 16, 2021, we entered into a credit agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), which provided for a $1.0 billion three-year senior secured multi-currency revolving credit facility, including a $450.0 million letter of credit sub-facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).
On April 24, 2023, we entered into a fifth amendment (the “Amendment No. 5”) to the Credit Agreement, which increased the commitments available to the Company to $1.25 billion and extended the term to five years from the date of the Amendment No. 5. The Credit Agreement also provides for a $250.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. We incurred $16.7 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the Amendment No. 5. These debt issuance costs are deferred and are included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. The deferred debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the Credit Agreement.
On June 23, 2025, we entered into a sixth amendment (“Amendment No. 6”) to the Credit Agreement, which amended or removed certain representations and warranties to allow the Credit Agreement to serve as a liquidity backstop for commercial paper and certain funds transactions.
Availability of borrowings under the Credit Agreement is reduced by outstanding commercial paper and letters of credit issued against the facility. As of June 30, 2025, there were no letters of credit or commercial paper outstanding, and our availability under the Credit Agreement was $1.25 billion.
18
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the following rates, plus an applicable margin, depending on currency:
•U.S. dollar-denominated loans bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a base rate or an adjusted rate linked to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Adjusted Term SOFR”).
•British pound-denominated loans bear interest on an adjusted rate linked to the Sterling Overnight Index Average Rate ("SONIA").
•Euro-denominated loans bear interest on an adjusted rate linked to the Euro interbank offered rate.
After the upgrade to ‘Baa3/BBB’, the rate for Term Benchmark (as defined in the Credit Agreement) loans is 1.50 % and the rate for base rate loans is 0.50 % effective from June 28, 2024. The Credit Agreement is subject to customary representations and warranties, covenants, events of default, mandatory repayment provisions, and financial covenants.
Commercial Paper - On June 23, 2025, we entered into commercial paper dealer agreements (each a “Dealer Agreement”) with two dealers (each, a “Dealer” and, collectively, the “Dealers”) for our $1.0 billion commercial paper program (the “Program”). Under the Program, we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes (the “Notes”) pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Amounts available under the Program may be borrowed, repaid and re‑borrowed from time to time, with the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding under the Program at any time not to exceed $1.0 billion. The Notes have maturities of up to 364 days from date of issuance and rank at least pari passu with our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. Our available capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility is reduced by any outstanding commercial paper issued against the facility.
On July 10, 2025, S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) assigned a rating of ‘A-3’ to our short-term debt and commercial paper program.
Letter of Credit Facility - On April 24, 2023, the Company entered into a new $500 million five-year senior secured performance letters of credit facility (the “Performance LC Credit Agreement”). The commitments under the Performance LC Credit Agreement may be increased to $1.0 billion, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions precedent. The Performance LC Credit Agreement permits the Company and its subsidiaries to have access to performance letters of credit denominated in a variety of currencies to support the contracting activities with counterparties that require or request a performance or similar guarantee. It contains substantially the same customary representations and warranties, covenants, events of default, mandatory repayment provisions, and financial covenants as the Credit Agreement and benefits from the same guarantees and security as the Credit Agreement on a pari passu basis.
2021 Notes - On January 29, 2021, we issued $1.0 billion of 6.50 25.7 million of debt issuance costs in connection with issuance of the 2021 Notes. These debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the term and are included in long-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The outstanding balance of the 2021 Notes as of June 30, 2025 is $202.9 million.
On March 7, 2024, S&P upgraded TechnipFMC to investment grade, raising its rating to ‘BBB-’ from ‘BB+’ for both the issuer credit as well as the issue-level ratings on the Company’s senior unsecured notes. On June 27, 2024, Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) assigned a first-time investment grade long-term issuer default rating of ‘BBB-’ for TechnipFMC. As a result of the S&P and Fitch investment grade ratings and the satisfaction of certain other conditions precedent, the Investment Grade Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has occurred and the collateral securing the Credit Agreement and the Performance LC Credit Agreement was released.
On January 23, 2025, Moody’s upgraded TechnipFMC to ‘Baa3’ from ‘Ba1’, while maintaining a positive outlook, for the issue-level ratings on the Company’s 2021 Notes.
As of June 30, 2025, TechnipFMC was in compliance with all debt covenants.
19
Bank borrowings - Include term loans issued in connection with financing for certain of our vessels and amounts outstanding under our foreign committed credit lines.
Foreign committed credit - We have committed credit lines at many of our international subsidiaries for immaterial amounts. We utilize these facilities for asset financing and to provide a more efficient daily source of liquidity. The effective interest rates depend upon the local national market.
NOTE 12. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
On April 22, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share, payable on June 4, 2025 to shareholders and represents $0.20 per share on an annualized basis. The cash dividends paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were $20.6 million and $41.6 million, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were $21.5 million and $43.2 million, respectively.
On October 23, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $1.0 billion in share repurchases, increasing the Company’s total authorization under our share repurchase program to $1.8 billion of outstanding ordinary shares. Pursuant to this program, we repurchased $250.1 million and $500.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $100.0 million and $250.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
Based upon the remaining repurchase authority of $594.4 million and the closing stock price as of June 30, 2025, approximately 17.3 million ordinary shares could be subject to repurchase. Since the initial share repurchase authorization in July 2022, we have purchased an aggregate amount of $1,205.6 million of ordinary shares through June 30, 2025.

NOTE 13. SUPPLIER FINANCE PROGRAM OBLIGATIONS
We facilitate a supply chain finance program (“SCF”) that is administered by a third-party financial institution, which allows qualifying suppliers to sell their receivables from the Company to the SCF bank. These participating suppliers negotiate their outstanding receivable(s) directly with the SCF bank. We are not a party to those agreements, and the terms of our payment obligations are not impacted by a supplier’s participation in the SCF. We agree to pay the SCF bank based on the original invoice amounts and maturity dates as consistent with our accounts payables.
All outstanding amounts related to suppliers participating in the SCF are recorded within accounts payable, trade in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the associated payments are included in operating activities within our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the amounts due to suppliers participating in the SCF were $124.8 million and $121.2 million, respectively.
NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Contingent liabilities associated with guarantees - In the ordinary course of business, we enter into standby letters of credit, performance bonds, surety bonds, and other guarantees with financial institutions for the benefit of our customers, vendors, and other parties. The majority of these financial instruments expire within five years . Management does not expect any of these financial instruments to result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Guarantees made by our consolidated subsidiaries consisted of the following:
| (In millions) | June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||||
Financial guarantees(a) | $ | $ | |||||||||
Performance guarantees(b) | |||||||||||
| Maximum potential undiscounted payments | $ | $ | |||||||||
(a)Financial guarantees represent contracts that contingently require a guarantor to make payments to a guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying agreement that is related to an asset, a liability, or an equity security of the guaranteed party. These tend to be drawn down only if there is a failure to fulfill our financial obligations.
(b)Performance guarantees represent contracts that contingently require a guarantor to make payments to a guaranteed party based on another entity's failure to perform under a non-financial obligating agreement. Events that trigger payment are performance-related, such as failure to ship a product or provide a service.
We believe the ultimate resolution of our known contingencies will not materially adversely affect our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Contingent liabilities associated with legal and tax matters - We are involved in various pending or potential legal and tax actions or disputes in the ordinary course of our business. These actions and disputes can involve our agents, suppliers, clients, and venture partners, and can include claims related to payment of fees, service quality, and ownership arrangements, including certain put or call options. We are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions because of their inherent uncertainty. However, we believe that the most probable, ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Contingent liabilities associated with liquidated damages - Some of our contracts contain provisions that require us to pay liquidated damages if we are responsible for the failure to meet specified contractual milestone dates and the applicable customer asserts a conforming claim under these provisions. These contracts define the conditions under which our customers may make claims against us for liquidated damages. Based upon the evaluation of our performance and other commercial and legal analysis, management believes we have appropriately recognized probable liquidated damages as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and that the ultimate resolution of such matters will not materially affect our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 15. INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $106.5 million and $59.2 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 28.4 % and 24.1 %, respectively.
The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $193.5 million and $108.9 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 32.0 % and 23.9 %, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was largely due to the change in geographical profit mix year-over-year in addition to accruals for uncertain tax positions and taxes on undistributed earnings.
Our effective tax rate can fluctuate depending on our country mix of earnings, since our foreign earnings are generally subject to higher tax rates than in the United Kingdom.
NOTE 16. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
For purposes of mitigating the effect of changes in exchange rates, we hold derivative financial instruments to hedge the risks of certain identifiable and anticipated transactions and recorded assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The types of risks hedged are those relating to the variability of future earnings and cash flows caused by movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our policy is to hold derivatives only for the purpose of hedging risks associated with anticipated foreign currency purchases and sales created in the normal course of business, and not for speculative purposes.
Generally, we enter into hedging relationships such that changes in the fair values or cash flows of the transactions being hedged are expected to be offset by corresponding changes in the fair value of the derivatives. For derivative instruments that qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss of the derivative, which does not include the time value component of a forward currency rate, is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, any change in the fair value of those instruments is reflected in earnings in the period such change occurs.
We hold the following types of derivative instruments:
Foreign exchange rate forward contracts - The purpose of these instruments is to hedge the risk of changes in future cash flows of anticipated purchase or sale commitments denominated in foreign currencies and recorded assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2025, we held the following material net positions:

| Total liabilities | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Equity securities - The fair value measurement of our traded securities is based on quoted prices that we have the ability to access in public markets.
Money market and stable value funds - These funds are valued at the net asset value of the shares held at the end of the quarter, which is based on the fair value of the underlying investments using information reported by our investment advisor at quarter-end. These funds include fixed income and other investments measured at fair value. Certain investments that are measured at fair value using net asset value per share (or its equivalent) have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative financial instruments - We use the income approach as the valuation technique to measure the fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments on a recurring basis. This approach calculates the present value of the future cash flow by measuring the change from the derivative contract rate and the published market indicative currency rate, multiplied by the contract notional values. Credit risk is then incorporated by reducing the derivative’s fair value in asset positions by the result of multiplying the present value of the portfolio by the counterparty’s published credit spread. Portfolios in a liability position are adjusted by the same calculation; however, a spread representing our credit spread is used. Our credit spread, and the credit spread of other counterparties not publicly available, are approximated by using the spread of similar companies in the same industry, of similar size, and with the same credit rating.
We currently have no credit-risk-related contingent features in our agreements with the financial institutions that would require us to post collateral for derivative positions in a liability position. See Note 16 for further details.
Other fair value disclosures
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable, short-term debt, debt associated with our bank borrowings, credit facilities, as well as amounts included in other current assets and other current liabilities that meet the definition of financial instruments, approximate fair value.
Fair value of debt - We use a market approach to determine the fair value of our fixed-rate debt using observable market data, which results in a Level 2 fair value measurement. The estimated fair value of our private placement notes and senior notes was $483.7 million and $666.0 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Credit risk - By their nature, financial instruments involve risk, including credit risk, for non-performance by counterparties. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk primarily consist of trade receivables and derivative contracts. We manage the credit risk on financial instruments by transacting only with what management believes are financially secure counterparties, requiring credit approvals and credit limits and monitoring counterparties’ financial condition. Our maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty is limited to the amount drawn and outstanding on the financial instrument. Allowances for losses on trade receivables are established based on collectability assessments. We mitigate credit risk on
26
derivative contracts by executing contracts only with counterparties that consent to a master netting agreement, which permits the net settlement of gross derivative assets against gross derivative liabilities.
NOTE 18. DISPOSAL OF MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS BUSINESS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
On March 11, 2024, we completed the sale of equity interests and assets of the Company’s Measurement Solutions business (the “MSB”) for cash proceeds of $186.1 million. As part of the Surface Technologies segment, MSB encompassed terminal management solutions and metering products and systems and included engineering and manufacturing locations in North America and Europe.
We recorded transaction costs associated with the sale of $5.2 million, during the three months ended March 31, 2024. These transaction costs are included within restructuring, impairment, and other charges in our condensed consolidated statement of income.
FMC Technologies (UK) Pension Plan Buy-In
During 2024, two of the U.K. pension plans entered into a buy-in contract for all their members. Under the buy-in contract terms, the responsibility to pay pension benefits still rests with the plans and the obligation is still recorded by the Company. In July 2024, the U.K. Court of Appeal upheld a ruling of the U.K. High Court in Virgin Media Ltd v. NTL Pension Trustees II Ltd case, a matter that we were not a party to or involved in. The court ruled that certain historical amendments purportedly made to Virgin Media’s U.K. defined benefit plan were legally invalid because they had not been accompanied by necessary actuarial confirmation.
Following this ruling, the U.K. Government has confirmed that it will introduce legislation to address the issues arising from the judgment. The proposed legislation is expected to allow affected pension plans to retrospectively obtain written actuarial confirmation that historic benefit changes complied with the necessary statutory requirements. We are currently monitoring legislative progress, further guidance and legal challenges to assess any potential implications for our U.K. pension plans.
NOTE 19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 22, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share, payable on September 3, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange on August 19, 2025. The ex-dividend date is August 19, 2025.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was signed into law in the United States. Key provisions of the OBBBA include permanent extension of once-temporary provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA), along with the introduction of other significant changes that may impact the Company. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of the OBBBA on our consolidated financial statements, including the potential remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Overall Outlook – Economic growth is expected to continue in 2025, although it remains vulnerable to persistent inflationary pressures, global trade tensions, and regional conflicts. Central banks continue to navigate a balance between growth and price stability — with progress uneven across regions. At the same time, economic sanctions and other measures imposed to end persistent geopolitical conflicts create additional risks to global energy markets, underscoring the strategic importance of energy security worldwide.
We maintain a positive long-term outlook for both oil and natural gas given anticipated growth in energy demand. Growth in near-term oil supply is likely to be supported by OPEC+ as member nations restore previously curtailed production. However, affordability and energy security remain major considerations. Our long-term outlook is further supported by our clients’ prioritization of the development of conventional oil and natural gas resources, while also progressing energy transition efforts.
We believe that offshore and Middle East markets will maintain investment preference for operators, with deepwater attracting a growing share of global capital flows, driven by much-improved economic returns and broad access to these resources. We also expect an increasing role for technology innovation in the delivery of both conventional and new energy supply. In that context, TechnipFMC is well positioned to translate our technological, operational, and financial strength into value for our clients, employees, and shareholders.
In 2024, we announced a differentiated set of awards, with three integrated Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Installation (iEPCI™) projects all representing first-of-its-kind solutions. The Mero 3 HISEP® project was our first iEPCI™ for Petrobras and the first to utilize subsea processing to capture carbon dioxide (“CO2”) directly from the well stream for injection back into the reservoir, all on the seafloor. The Shell Sparta project was our first iEPCI™ to employ a 20,000-psi production system in the Paleogene play in the Gulf of America. And finally, we were awarded the first iEPCI™ encompassing an all-electric subsea system for carbon capture and storage from the Northern Endurance Partnership, a joint venture between bp, Equinor, and TotalEnergies. Each of these projects provides a unique solution to an industry challenge and exemplifies our differentiated technology portfolio that is creating new market opportunities for our company in existing offshore basins.
As evidenced by these awards, we believe that offshore will play a meaningful role in the development of renewable energy resources and the reduction of carbon emissions. Our efforts are focused on three main pillars: greenhouse gas (GHG) removal, offshore floating renewables, and hydrogen solutions. We are also building on our partnerships as we look to expand our position as the leading architect for offshore energy.
In our New Energy business, we announced a new collaboration agreement in 2024 to deliver the industry’s first full water-column solution for offshore floating wind. Together with Prysmian, the leader in cabling solutions for the energy transition, we will combine our expertise in system design and integration capabilities in dynamic offshore applications to provide an iEPCI™ solution for the offshore floating wind market. We continue to create unique opportunities where we can leverage our onshore and offshore expertise and demonstrated project execution capabilities into leadership positions in evolving energy markets.
Subsea – Innovative approaches to subsea projects, like our iEPCI™ solution, have improved project economics through more efficient design and installation of the entire subsea field architecture. Our integrated commercial model, iEPCI™, brought together the complementary work scopes of the SPS with the SURF, and installation vessels. iEPCI™ created a new market and helped expand the deepwater opportunity set for our clients and has grown to represent nearly one-third of the addressable subsea market.
As the subsea industry continues to evolve, we are driving simplification, standardization, and industrialization to reduce cycle times and further reduce costs. An example of this is Subsea 2.0®, our pre-engineered configurable product offering. This technology simplifies projects by leveraging a Configure-to-Order (CTO) model that further accelerates time to first production while driving greater efficiencies for TechnipFMC.
28
With Subsea 2.0® and CTO, we have designed an architecture, process, tools, and culture that are scalable and transformational to the future of our company. Subsea 2.0® has allowed us to redefine our sourcing strategy and transform our manufacturing flow, resulting in up to 25 percent lower product cost and a shortened 12-month delivery time for subsea production equipment — savings that are both real and sustainable. This has paved the way for other products within our portfolio to adopt a similar operating model, enabling an enterprise-wide way of working.
Given the significant improvement in project economics, more offshore discoveries can be developed economically below today’s oil prices. We believe these fundamental changes are sustainable, as a result of new business models and technology pioneered by our company.
There is also momentum in new offshore frontiers as nations look to expand economic growth through the development of more recent resource discoveries. In late 2024, we were awarded an iEPCI™ contract for TotalEnergies’ GranMorgu project — the first subsea development in Suriname. In Namibia, there have been multiple discoveries, and operators have initiated appraisal drilling campaigns. We believe additional countries will seek to develop deepwater resources in other new frontiers during this decade, yielding additional inbound orders well beyond those projects currently in discussion.
Offshore development is likely to remain a significant part of many of our customers’ portfolios, not only because of improved economics, but because of the size and accessibility of these resources. We estimate over 35 MMBD of new oil production will be required by 2040 to meet future energy demand. Approximately 10 MMBD of the increase is expected to come from new deepwater production, which is significantly above the current level of offshore production.
After securing $20.2 billion of Subsea orders over the past two calendar years, our unique visibility into the market gives us confidence we will exceed $10 billion of inbound in the current year — ensuring we deliver on our guidance of $30 billion over the three-years ending 2025. These orders are expected to include a more diversified mix of opportunities and further market adoption of our Subsea 2.0® CTO platform and iEPCI™ commercial model. We also foresee the expanding reach of Subsea Services, derived from an aging installed base that continues to grow.
As we look beyond the current year, client discussions remain focused on future project activity as they seek to secure the quality capacity needed to execute their offshore developments. Our visibility into this pipeline of longer-term opportunities is supported by a growing list of named projects identified for potential final investment decision that extend beyond the historical planning horizon. This gives us confidence that activity will remain strong through the end of the decade.
Surface Technologies – International markets comprise a significant portion of segment revenue, representing over 60 percent in 2024. We continue to benefit from our exposure to the North Sea, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East. TechnipFMC’s unique capabilities in these markets — which demand higher-specification equipment and local presence, including a services footprint — provide a platform for us to extend our leadership in these geographies.
North American activity is among the most susceptible to lower commodity prices given the relatively high cost of development in the region. For TechnipFMC, our surface activities on U.S. land are expected to represent just five percent of total Company revenue in 2025.
Investment in international markets is less cyclical, as most activities are undertaken by national oil companies with long-term investment horizons and a lower cost of development. This is most evident in the Middle East, where we have made the investment needed to assist our customers in achieving their desired growth in production. This represents a differentiated growth opportunity for our company.

Revenue
Revenue increased by $209.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher Subsea revenue which increased by $207.2 million. This growth was driven by the conversion of a higher backlog, up 11.1% as of December 31, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023, resulting in increased activity across iEPCITM , flexible supply and services activities, particularly in Brazil, Israel, Norway and Nigeria. Surface Technologies revenue increased by $1.9 million for the same comparable period, reflecting a $19.0 million increase from higher activity in the Middle East, Europe and other international markets. This increase was largely offset by a $17.1 million decline in revenue due to lower activity in North America and Latin America.
Gross Profit
Gross profit (revenue less cost of sales) increased to $593.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $500.9 million in the prior-year period. Subsea gross profit increased year-over-year by $87.6 million, of which $45.2 million was due to volume increase and $42.4 million due to favorable activity mix. Surface Technologies gross profit increased year-over-year by $5.9 million, primarily due to $15.2 million of gross profit growth from higher activity in the Middle East and Europe, partially offset by lower activity in North America and other international markets, which collectively decreased gross profit by $9.3 million.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expense was largely unchanged year-over-year.
Restructuring, impairment and other expenses
We incurred $16.4 million of restructuring, impairment and other expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2025, that was primarily attributable to $18.2 million of business transformation initiatives within Surface Technologies, offset by $1.8 million in other credits.
30
Other Expense, Net
Other income (expense), net, includes gains and losses associated with the remeasurement of net monetary assets and liabilities, gains and losses on sales of property, plant and equipment, and non-operating gains and losses. The net expense decreased $33.4 million year-over-year, primarily due to a $29.8 million reduction in foreign currency losses, resulting from the impact of hedge positions.
Income from Equity Affiliates
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded income from equity method affiliates of $10.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The year-over-year increase was driven by higher operational activity of our joint ventures.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense of $14.4 million decreased by $7.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to the net decrease in outstanding debt.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $106.5 million and $59.2 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 28.4% and 24.1%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was largely due to the change in geographical profit mix year-over-year in addition to accruals for uncertain tax positions and taxes on undistributed earnings.

Revenue
Revenue increased by $400.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to higher Subsea revenue which increased by $408.6 million. This growth was driven by the conversion of a backlog, up 11.1% higher as of December 31, 2024, when compared to December 31, 2023, resulting in increased revenue activity across iEPCI™, flexible supply and services activities, particularly in Norway, Indonesia, Israel, Brazil and Nigeria. Surface Technologies revenue decreased by $7.9 million for the same comparable period, reflecting a $42.0 million decrease from lower activity in North America, Europe, Latin America, Africa and the sale of MSB. This decrease was partially offset by a $34.1 million increase in revenue from higher activity in the Middle East.
Gross Profit
Gross profit (revenue less cost of sales) increased to $1,058.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $842.3 million in the prior-year period. Subsea gross profit increased year-over-year by $209.0 million, of which $128.4 million was due to favorable activity mix and $80.6 million due to volume increase. Surface Technologies gross profit increased by $5.8 million compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $26.8 million improvement in the Middle East and Europe, partially offset by lower activity in North America, the other international markets and the sale of MSB during the six months ended June 30, 2024, which collectively decreased gross profit by $21.0 million.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $22.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by higher employee costs in support of increased business activities.
32
Restructuring, impairment and other expenses
We incurred $17.6 million of restructuring, impairment and other expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2025, that was primarily attributable to $16.4 million of business transformation initiatives within Surface Technologies.
Other Expense, Net
Other income (expense), net, includes gains and losses associated with the remeasurement of net monetary assets and liabilities, gains and losses on sales of property, plant and equipment, and non-operating gains and losses. The net decrease in expense of $16.1 million was driven by a decrease in foreign currency loss of $22.2 million, which was partially offset by an increase in miscellaneous other non-operating charges.
Gain on disposal of Measurement Solutions business
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized a gain of $75.2 million from the sale of equity interests and assets of MSB.
Income from Equity Affiliates
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded income from equity method affiliates of $19.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively, driven by an increase in operational activity of our joint ventures.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense of $24.3 million decreased by $9.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to the reduction in outstanding debt.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $193.5 million and $108.9 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 32.0% and 23.9%, respectively.

Subsea revenue increased by $207.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, driven by increased backlog in 2024 related to higher energy demand and upstream spending, further aided by our unique commercial offerings. $170.2 million of the increase in revenue was from Brazil, $72.0 million from Israel, $53.8 million from Norway and $53.6 million from Nigeria, driven by higher iEPCI™, flexible supply and services activities. The rest of the world contributed a net decrease of $142.4 million primarily due to completion of projects in the United States of $143.4 million.
33
Subsea operating profit for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $102.6 million compared to the prior-year period. This was largely due to favorable activity mix, which contributed $42.4 million, and higher volume which added $45.2 million. Operating expenses decreased by $15.0 million, driven by greater cost efficiency relative to the prior year.

This increase was largely offset by a $17.1 million decline in revenue due to lower activity in North America and Latin America.
Surface Technologies operating profit decreased by $7.2 million compared to the prior-year period, primarily driven by $15.5 million of higher restructuring and impairment costs incurred in the second quarter of 2025. Excluding this item, operating profit increased by $8.3 million compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to improved profitability through growth and enhanced operational efficiency in the Middle East and Europe.

Subsea operating profit for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $193.9 million compared to the prior-year period. This was largely due to favorable activity mix, which contributed $128.4 million, and higher volume, which added $80.6 million.

This decrease was partially offset by a $34.1 million increase in revenue from higher activity in the Middle East.
Surface Technologies operating profit decreased by $80.4 million, compared to the same period in 2024, and was primarily driven by the $75.2 million gain on the sale of MSB during the first quarter of 2024 and $16.4 million higher restructuring and impairment costs recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Excluding these exceptional items, operating profit increased by $11.2 million compared to the same period in 2024.

The remaining backlog was composed of various projects in the rest of the world.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Most of our cash is managed centrally and flows through bank accounts controlled and maintained by TechnipFMC globally in various jurisdictions to best meet the liquidity needs of our global operations.
Net Cash - Net cash is a non-GAAP financial measure reflecting cash and cash equivalents, net of debt. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our capital structure and financial leverage. We believe net cash is a meaningful financial measure that may assist investors in understanding our financial condition and recognizing underlying trends in our capital structure. Net cash should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, cash and cash equivalents as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity.
The following table provides a reconciliation of our cash and cash equivalents to net cash, utilizing details of classifications from our condensed consolidated balance sheets:

Cash Flows
Operating cash flows - Operating activities provided $785.9 million and $104.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and, 2024, respectively. The increase of $681.7 million in cash from operating activities was primarily due to increased volume and an improved mix of projects resulting in strong cash collections, advance payments from customers to support the higher business activity and the fluctuations in derivative assets and liabilities.
Investing cash flows - Investing activities used $140.8 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $87.1 million provided during the same period in 2024. The decrease of $227.9 million in cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to $186.1 million in proceeds received from the sale of MSB during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and an increase in capital expenditures of $42.6 million in 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024.
36
Financing cash flows - Financing activities used $880.8 million and $417.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $462.9 million in cash used by financing activities was mainly due to an increase of $250.1 million in share repurchases and an increase in debt repayments of $176.2 million in 2025, primarily for the repayment of the 5.75% 2020 Private Placement Notes, which matured during the period.
Debt and Liquidity
We are committed to maintaining a capital structure that provides sufficient cash resources to support future operating and investment plans. We maintain a level of liquidity sufficient to allow us to meet our cash needs in both the short term and long term.
Availability of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is reduced by outstanding commercial paper and letters of credit issued against the facility. As of June 30, 2025, there were no letters of credit or commercial paper outstanding, and our availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $1,250.0 million.
As of June 30, 2025, TechnipFMC was in compliance with all debt covenants. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for further detail.
Credit Ratings - Our credit ratings with Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) are ‘BBB-’ for our long-term unsecured, guaranteed debt (2021 Notes) and ‘BBB-’ for our 2012 long-term unsecured debt (the 2012 Private Placement Notes). Our credit rating with Moody’s is ‘Baa3’ for our long-term unsecured, guaranteed debt. See Note 11 for further details regarding our debt.
On March 7, 2024, S&P upgraded TechnipFMC to investment grade, raising its rating to ‘BBB-’ from ‘BB+’ for both the issuer credit as well as the issue-level ratings on the Company’s senior unsecured notes. On June 27, 2024, Fitch assigned a first-time investment grade long-term issuer default rating of ‘BBB-’ for TechnipFMC. As a result of the S&P and Fitch investment grade ratings and the satisfaction of certain other conditions precedent, the Investment Grade Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has occurred and the collateral securing the Credit Agreement and the Performance LC Credit Agreement was released.
On January 23, 2025, Moody’s upgraded TechnipFMC to ‘Baa3’ from ‘Ba1’, while maintaining a positive outlook, for the issue-level ratings on the Company’s 2021 Notes.
On July 10, 2025, S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) assigned a rating of ‘A-3’ to our short-term debt and commercial paper program.
Dividends - On April 22, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share, payable on June 4, 2025 to shareholders and represents $0.20 per share on an annualized basis. The cash dividends paid during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $41.6 million. We intend to pay dividends on a quarterly basis, subject to review and approval by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion.
On July 22, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share, payable on September 3, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange on August 19, 2025. The ex-dividend date is August 19, 2025.
Share Repurchase - We repurchased $500.2 million of ordinary shares during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Since the initial share repurchase authorization in July 2022, we have purchased an aggregate amount of $1,205.6 million of ordinary shares through June 30, 2025. Based upon the remaining repurchase authority of $594.4 million and the closing stock price as of June 30, 2025, approximately 17.3 million ordinary shares could be subject to repurchase. All shares repurchased were immediately cancelled.
Credit Risk Analysis
For the purposes of mitigating the effect of the changes in exchange rates, we hold derivative financial instruments. Valuations of derivative assets and liabilities reflect the fair value of the instruments, including the values associated with counterparty risk. These values must also take into account our credit standing, thus including the valuation of the derivative instrument and the value of the net credit differential between the counterparties to the derivative contract. Adjustments to our derivative assets and liabilities related to credit risk were not material for any period presented.
37
The income approach was used as the valuation technique to measure the fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments on a recurring basis. This approach calculates the present value of the future cash flow by measuring the change from the derivative contract rate and the published market indicative currency rate, multiplied by the contract notional values. Credit risk is then incorporated by reducing the derivative’s fair value in asset positions by the result of multiplying the present value of the portfolio by the counterparty’s published credit spread. Portfolios in a liability position are adjusted by the same calculation; however, a spread representing our credit spread is used.
Our credit spread, and the credit spread of other counterparties not publicly available, are approximated using the spread of similar companies in the same industry, of similar size, and with the same credit rating. See Notes 16 and 17 for further details.
At this time, we have no credit-risk-related contingent features in our agreements with the financial institutions that would require us to post collateral for derivative positions in a liability position.
Financial Position Outlook
We are committed to a strong balance sheet. We continue to maintain sufficient liquidity to support the needs of the business through growth, cyclicality, and unforeseen events. We continue to maintain and drive sustainable leverage to preserve access to capital throughout the cycle. Our capital expenditures can be adjusted and managed to match market demand and activity levels. Projected capital expenditures do not include any contingent capital that may be needed to respond to contract awards. In maintaining our commitment to sustainable leverage and liquidity, we expect to be able to continue to generate cash flow available for investment in growth and distribution to shareholders through the business cycle.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved in various pending or potential legal actions or disputes in the ordinary course of our business. These actions and disputes can involve our agents, suppliers, clients, and joint venture partners and can include claims related to payment of fees, service quality, and ownership arrangements, including certain put or call options. Management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions because of their inherent uncertainty. However, management believes that the most probable, ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to such Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that, in issuing, amending, renewing or extending any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of a Borrower deemed made pursuant to Section 4.02 unless, at least one Business Day prior to the time such Letter of Credit is issued, amended, renewed or extended (or, in the case of an automatic renewal permitted pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, at least one Business Day prior to the time by which the election not to extend must be made by the applicable Issuing Bank), the Required Lenders shall have notified the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02(a) or 4.02(b) would not be satisfied if such Letter of Credit were then issued, amended, renewed or extended (it being understood and agreed that, in the event any Issuing Bank shall have received any such notice, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit until and unless it shall be satisfied that the events and circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to exist). (e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, then the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement (i) not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the applicable Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or (ii) if such notice has not been received by such Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, unless such Borrower has notified the applicable Issuing Bank that it will reimburse such LC Disbursement by the required date and time, such Borrower shall, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, be deemed to have requested, and such Borrower does hereby request in such event that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing. In the case of any such reimbursement in dollars with respect to a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify such Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the draft so paid promptly following the determination thereof. If such Borrower fails to reimburse any LC Disbursement by the time specified above in this paragraph, then the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender, as the case may be, of the applicable LC Disbursement, the currency and amount of the payment then
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 71 TechnipFMC | Internal due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof, as applicable. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the amount then due from such Borrower in the currency of the applicable LC Disbursement, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the applicable Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from a Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Borrowing as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision thereof or hereof, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, a Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit, any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to a Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by a Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 72 TechnipFMC | Internal without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and any such acceptance or refusal shall be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct. (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall, within the time allowed by applicable law or the specific terms of the Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail) of such demand for payment if such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section. (h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the such Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement in full, at (i) in the case of any LC Disbursement denominated in dollars, the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans and (ii) in the case of an LC Disbursement denominated in any Alternative Currency, a rate per annum determined by the applicable Issuing Bank (which determination will be conclusive absent manifest error) to represent its cost of funds plus the Applicable Rate used to determine interest applicable to Term Benchmark Loans; provided that, if the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement in full when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been made, on the date on which the applicable Borrower reimburses the applicable LC Disbursement in full. (i) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day on which the Company receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash and in the currency of each applicable Letter of Credit equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01. The Borrowers also shall deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(b) or 2.20(c). Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits,
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 73 TechnipFMC | Internal which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Notwithstanding the terms of any Security Document, moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to (i) the consent of the Required Lenders and (ii) in the case of any such application at a time when any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (but only if, after giving effect thereto, the remaining cash collateral shall be less than the aggregate LC Exposure of all the Defaulting Lenders), the consent of each Issuing Bank), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Total Revolving Exposure would not exceed the Total Commitments and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(c), such amount shall be returned to the Borrowers to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Consolidated Cash Balance as of the end of the month would not exceed $350,000,000. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.20(c), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, no Issuing Bank shall have any exposure in respect of any outstanding Letter of Credit that is not fully covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or the remaining cash collateral and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. (j) Designation of Additional Issuing Banks. The Company may, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Lender of an appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, executed by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and such designated Lender and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank, as applicable, under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder. (k) Termination or Resignation of an Issuing Bank. The Borrowers may terminate the appointment of any Issuing Bank as an “Issuing Bank” hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such Issuing Bank acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the tenth Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof; provided that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (or its Affiliates) shall have been reduced to zero. At the time any such termination shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 74 TechnipFMC | Internal the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit. Any Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving 30 days prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Borrowers. After the resignation of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend, renew or increase any existing Letter of Credit. (l) Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) reasonably prior to the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the stated amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which a Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the currency and amount of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. (m) LC Exposure Determination. For all purposes of this Agreement, the amount of a Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination. (n) Applicability of ISP and UCP; Governing Law. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP or UCP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit and (iii) each Letter of Credit shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York. SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of such
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 75 TechnipFMC | Internal Borrower and designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement denominated in dollars as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.05(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and such Borrower severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the applicable Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to (A) in the case of Loans denominated in dollars, ABR Loans and (B) in the case of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, the interest rate applicable to the subject Loan pursuant to Section 2.13. If the applicable Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.03 and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.03. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type (provided that Term Benchmark Borrowings denominated in an Alternative Currency may not be converted into ABR Borrowings) or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Company may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Company was requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower.
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 76 TechnipFMC | Internal (c) Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Term Benchmark Borrowing or an RFR Borrowing; and (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.” If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. (e) If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing in dollars prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be deemed to have an Interest Period that is one month. If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing in an Alternative Currency prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Term Benchmark Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected that such Term Benchmark Borrowing shall automatically be continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing in its original Agreed Currency with an Interest Period of one month at the end of such Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default under clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing with respect to a Borrower, or if any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, has notified the Borrowers of the election to give effect to this sentence on account of such other Event of Default, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, (x) each Term Benchmark Borrowing and each RFR Borrowing, in each case denominated in dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (y) each Term Benchmark Borrowing and each RFR Borrowing, in each case denominated in an Alternative Currency shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that, if the
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 77 TechnipFMC | Internal Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Agreed Currency other than dollars shall either be (A) converted to an ABR Borrowing denominated in dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) at the end of the Interest Period, as applicable, therefor or (B) prepaid at the end of the applicable Interest Period in full; provided that if no election is made by the Borrower by the earlier of (x) the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice and (y) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Term Benchmark Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (A) above. SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date. (b) The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 and (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Total Revolving Exposure would exceed the Total Commitments. (c) The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination or reduction of the Commitments delivered under this paragraph may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promise to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Lender on the Maturity Date. (b) The records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of each Borrower in respect of Loans, LC Disbursements, interest and fees due or accrued hereunder; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 78 TechnipFMC | Internal any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (c) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender in substantially the form of Exhibit J attached hereto (each, a “Note”). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by a Note in such form payable to such payee and its registered assigns. SECTION 2.10. [Reserved]. SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. (a) Each Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to Section 2.16. (b) In the event and on each occasion that (i) the Total Revolving Exposure exceeds the Total Commitments (other than as a result of any revaluation of the Dollar Equivalent of Loans or the LC Exposure on any Revaluation Date in accordance with Section 1.06) or (ii) the Total Revolving Exposure exceeds 105% of the Total Commitments solely as a result of any revaluation of the Dollar Equivalent of Loans or the LC Exposure on any Revaluation Date in accordance with Section 1.06, the Borrowers shall prepay Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.05(i)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. (c) If, at any time prior to the Investment Grade Date while Loans are outstanding, the Consolidated Cash Balance exceeds $350,000,000 as of the last calendar day of any month, then the Borrowers shall, within three (3) Business Days, prepay Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, and if any excess remains after prepaying all outstanding Borrowings, the Borrowers shall deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.05(i) on a pro rata basis with the Performance LC Facility (based on the LC Exposure hereunder and the aggregate outstanding face amount of Performance Credit Instruments at such time) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. (d) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings under this Section, the Borrowers shall, subject to the next sentence, select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment delivered pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section. (e) The Company and/or the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic imaging) of any prepayment hereunder (i)(A) in the case of prepayment of (1) a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in dollars, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (2) an RFR Borrowing denominated in dollars, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, five U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of prepayment, (B) in the case of prepayment of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Euros, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of

Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that if a notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13. SECTION 2.12. Fees. (a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender for the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Commitments terminate (or are otherwise reduced to zero), a commitment fee which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender.

Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 90 TechnipFMC | Internal Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such documentation or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.17, a Lender shall not be required to provide any documentation pursuant to this Section 2.17(e) that such Lender is not legally eligible to provide. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.17(e). (f) Additional United Kingdom Withholding Tax Matters. (i) Subject to paragraph (ii) below, each UK Treaty Lender and each UK Borrower which makes a payment to such UK Treaty Lender shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make such payment without UK Withholding Tax. (ii) (A) A Lender which becomes or became (as applicable) a Lender hereunder on or before the Fifth Amendment Effective Date that (x) holds a passport under the HM Revenue & Customs DT Treaty Passport scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to each UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent in Schedule 2.01 hereto; and (B) a Lender which becomes a Lender hereunder after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date that (1) holds a passport under the HM Revenue & Customs DT Treaty Passport scheme and (2) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to each UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent in the documentation which it executes on becoming a party as a Lender, and (C) Upon satisfying either clause (A) or (B) above, such Lender shall have satisfied its obligation under paragraphs (e)(i) and (f)(i) above. (iii) If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (f)(ii) above, each UK Borrower shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing with respect to such Lender; provided that, if: (A) each UK Borrower making a payment to such Lender has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender; or (B) each UK Borrower making a payment to such Lender has made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender but: (1) such Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 91 TechnipFMC | Internal (2) HM Revenue & Customs has not given such UK Borrower authority to make payments to such Lender without UK Withholding Tax within 60 days of the date of such Borrower DTTP Filing; or (3) HM Revenue & Customs has given the Borrower authority to make payments to that Lender without UK Withholding Tax but such authority has subsequently been revoked or expired, and in each case, such UK Borrower has notified that Lender in writing of either (A), (B)(1), (B)(2) or (B)(3) above, then such Lender and such UK Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without UK Withholding Tax. (iv) If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (f)(ii) above, no UK Borrower shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s Commitment(s) or its participation in any Loan unless the Lender otherwise agrees. (v) Each UK Borrower shall, promptly on making a Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of such Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant Lender. (vi) A UK Non-Bank Lender which is a party to this Agreement on the Fifth Amendment Effective Date shall give a UK Tax Confirmation when entering into this Agreement. A UK Non-Bank Lender shall promptly notify any UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the UK Tax Confirmation. (vii) Each UK Treaty Lender shall notify the Borrowers and Administrative Agent if it determines in its sole discretion that it is ceases to be entitled to claim the benefits of UK Treaty with respect to payments made by any UK Borrower hereunder. (viii) Each Lender shall indicate, in Schedule 2.01 or, as the case may be, the documentation which it executes on becoming a Lender, which of the following categories it falls in in respect of a UK Borrower: (A) Not a Qualifying Lender; (B) A Qualifying Lender (other than a UK Treaty Lender); or (C) A UK Treaty Lender (on the assumption that all procedural formalities have been completed). If a Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this paragraph (viii), then such Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each UK Borrower) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 92 TechnipFMC | Internal applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform each UK Borrower). Such Lender shall also specify, in the documentation which it executes upon becoming a Lender or otherwise in writing delivered to the Administrative Agent, whether it is incorporated or acting through a lending office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, the documentation which a Lender executes on becoming a party as a Lender shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this paragraph (viii). (ix) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations with respect to a Loan or changes its lending office in respect of such Loan, and as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, a Loan Party would be obliged to make a payment to the successor or assign or Lender acting through its new lending office under Section 2.15 in respect of a UK Withholding Tax, then such successor or assign or Lender acting through its new lending office is only entitled to receive payment under that Section to the same extent as the assigning or transferring Lender, or Lender acting through its previous lending office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. This paragraph (ix) shall not apply in respect of an assignment or transfer made in the ordinary course of the primary syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein. (g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would place such indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted or withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts in respect of such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Loan Document Obligations. (i) VAT
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 93 TechnipFMC | Internal (i) All amounts expressed to be payable under a Loan Document by any party to a Credit Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Credit Party to any party under a Loan Document and such Credit Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that party must pay to such Credit Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Credit Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that party). (ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Credit Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Credit Party (the “Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration): (A) (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this paragraph (A) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and (B) (where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT. (iii) Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Credit Party for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Credit Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Credit Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority. (iv) Any reference in this clause Section 2.17(i) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Value Added Tax Act 1994). (v) In relation to any supply made by a Credit Party to any party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Credit Party, that party must promptly provide
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 94 TechnipFMC | Internal such Credit Party with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Credit Party’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply. (j) For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs; Application of Proceeds. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without any defense, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to such account or accounts as may be specified by the Administrative Agent, except that payments required to be made directly to any Issuing Bank shall be so made, payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Agreement, no payment shall be made by a Guarantor organized under the Laws of France on an account opened with a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan or LC Disbursement shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made in the currency of such Loan or LC Disbursement; all other payments hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in dollars. (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and shall purchase (for cash at face value)
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 95 TechnipFMC | Internal participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the aggregate amount of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any Eligible Assignee. The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the applicable Overnight Rate. (e) [Reserved]. (f) All proceeds of Collateral and all other amounts received by the Administrative Agent after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and all or any portion of the Loans shall have been accelerated hereunder pursuant to Section 7.01, shall, upon election by the Administrative Agent or at the direction of the Required Lenders, be applied, first, on a pro rata basis, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent, second, to pay interest due and payable in respect of any Loans, on a pro rata basis, third, to the payment of any other Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party on a pro rata basis, and fourth, to the Borrowers or as the Borrowers shall direct. SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Loan Party is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or any amount payable by a Guarantor organized under the Laws of France becomes not deductible from that Guarantor’s taxable income for French tax purposes by reason of that amount being paid or accrued to a Recipient incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through a lending office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction or paid to an account opened in the name of or for the benefit of that
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 96 TechnipFMC | Internal Recipient in a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Company) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future or avoid such non-tax deductibility for French income tax purposes and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not be inconsistent with its internal policies or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation. (b) If (i) any Lender has requested compensation under Section 2.15, (ii) the Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or (iii) any Lender has become a Defaulting Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation); provided that (A) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee or the Borrowers, (C) the Borrowers or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b), (D) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (E) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender under paragraph (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply. SECTION 2.20. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: (a) in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Lender, commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a); (b) the Loans and Commitments of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 97 TechnipFMC | Internal amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof; (c) in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Lender, if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then: (i) all or any part of the LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Sections 2.05(e) and 2.05(f)) of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments; provided that no reallocation under this clause (i) shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation; (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that has not been reallocated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; (iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay participation fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure for so long as such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized; (iv) if any portion of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and 2.12(b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and (v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all participation fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and (d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 98 TechnipFMC | Internal Credit unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be fully covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any such issued, amended, renewed or extended Letter of Credit will be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). In the event that (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a direct or indirect parent company of a Lender shall occur following the Effective Date and for so long as such Bankruptcy Event or Bail-In Action shall continue or (ii) any applicable Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the applicable Borrower or the applicable Lender, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder. In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company and each applicable Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused the applicable Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further that, except as otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from a Defaulting Lender to a non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. SECTION 2.21. Increase in Commitments. (a) At any time and from time to time, commencing on the Fifth Amendment Effective Date and ending on the Maturity Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company shall have the right to increase the Total Commitments on one or more occasions by obtaining additional Commitments (each such additional Commitment, a “Commitment Increase”), either from one or more of the Lenders or another lending institution; provided that (i) any such request for a Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 (or such lesser amount agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), (ii) after giving effect thereto, the Total Commitments (including such additional Commitments) shall not exceed $1,750,000,000, (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks shall approve the identity of any new Lender, such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld, (iv) any such new Lender shall assume all of the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder, and (v) the procedures described in Section 2.21(b) shall be satisfied. Nothing contained in this Section 2.21 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder at any time.

509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 134 TechnipFMC | Internal ARTICLE VIII The Administrative Agent SECTION 8.01. Administrative Agent Matters. (a) Each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent (without prejudice to the right of the Administrative Agent to designate any sub-agent, co-agent or trustee to serve as collateral agent or security trustee) under the Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America, each of the Secured Parties hereby grants to the Administrative Agent (including any sub-agent, co-agent or trustee designated by the Administrative Agent) any required powers of attorney to execute any Security Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Secured Party’s behalf. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. (b) The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Secured Party as any other Secured Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the other Secured Parties. (c) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion, could expose the Administrative Agent to liability or be contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, and (iii) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers, any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 135 TechnipFMC | Internal capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment). The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (D) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (E) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by the Borrowers or any Lender or Issuing Bank as a result of, any determination of the Revolving Exposure or the component amounts thereof. (d) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof). The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. (e) The Administrative Agent may perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including, for the avoidance of
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 136 TechnipFMC | Internal doubt, the role of collateral agent and/or security trustee) by or through any one or more sub- agents, co-agents or trustees appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent, co-agent or trustee except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. (f) Subject to the terms of this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time from its capacity as such. In connection with such resignation, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to resign to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrowers (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by the Borrowers and such successor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrowers, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Security Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent (or any applicable sub-agent or security trustee) shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent (or such sub-agent or security trustee), shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this paragraph (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Security Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 137 TechnipFMC | Internal such Person (and as far as payments by a Guarantor organized under the Laws of France are concerned, no payment shall be made on an account opened with a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction) and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (a) above. (g) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. (h) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and funding its Loans on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, this Agreement and each other Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date and shall be deemed to have consented to and approved the each Security Document to be entered into by the Administrative Agent after the Effective Date pursuant to Section 5.15. The Lenders, each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party irrevocably (i) authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into or amend (A) the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, (B) any Secured SCF Intercreditor Agreement with any representative of the holders of Secured SCF Obligations that are permitted to be secured by a Lien on the Collateral as permitted under this Agreement and (C) any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, in each case for the purpose of adding the holders of such Indebtedness (or their representative) as a party thereto and otherwise causing such Indebtedness to be subject thereto and (ii) and consents to the Administrative Agent and agrees not to assert any claims against the Administrative Agent or any successor thereof arising from the role of the Administrative Agent or such successor under the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, any such Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any such Secured SCF Intercreditor Agreement, so long as it is acting in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, such Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or such Secured SCF Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable (it being understood that any action taken by the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of, or with the negative consent of, the Required Lenders shall be an action that is undertaken in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents). Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 138 TechnipFMC | Internal Agent’s authority to enter into any such Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or Secured SCF Intercreditor Agreement or amend the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or any such Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or Secured SCF Intercreditor Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(h). (i) Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender in accordance with Section 9.08 or with respect to a Lender’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent, co-agent or trustee designated by it as collateral agent or security trustee) on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent(s) designated by it as collateral agent or security trustee) on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent, co-agent or trustee designated by it as collateral agent or security trustee), as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Loan Document Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent, co-agent or trustee designated by it as collateral agent or security trustee) on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition. (j) The Secured Cash Management Obligations, the Secured Hedging Obligations, the Secured LC Facility Obligations and the Secured SCF Obligations shall be secured and guaranteed pursuant to the Loan Documents only to the extent that, and for so long as, the other Obligations are so secured and guaranteed. No person shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document solely as a result of the existence of Secured Cash Management Obligations, Secured Hedging Obligations, Secured LC Facility Obligations or Secured SCF Obligations owed to it. For the avoidance of doubt, no release of Collateral or Guarantors effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall require the consent of any holder of Secured Cash Management Obligations, Secured Hedging Obligations, Secured LC Facility Obligations or Secured SCF Obligations. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a provider of Cash Management Services or a party to any Hedging Agreement, Secured LC Facility or Secured Supply Chain Financing shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent (without prejudice to the Administrative Agent’s right to designate any sub-agent, co-agent or trustee as collateral agent or security trustee) under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 140 TechnipFMC | Internal instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

(p) To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Loan Document an amount equal to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from any amount paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender and/or Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. (iii) The Borrowers and each other Loan Party hereby agree that (A) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender or Issuing Bank that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender and/or Issuing Bank with respect to such amount and (B) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party. (iv) Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.01(r) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

SECTION 9.14. Release of Liens and Guarantees. Subject to the reinstatement provisions set forth in the New York-Law Guarantee or any Security Document, a Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, and all security interests created by the Security Documents in Collateral owned by such Guarantor shall be automatically released, upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary; provided that, if so required by this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction and the terms of such consent shall not have provided otherwise. Upon any sale or other transfer by any Loan Party (other than to the Borrowers or any other Loan Party) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest created under any Security Document in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02, the security interests in such Collateral created by the Security Documents shall be automatically released. Upon the earlier to occur of (i) payment in full of the Loan Document Obligations (other than contingent amounts not yet due), expiration or termination of all Commitments and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than those collateralized or back-stopped on terms reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank) and reimbursement of all LC Disbursements and (ii) the Investment Grade Date, the Guarantees made by the Guarantors pursuant to the New York-Law Guarantee and the security interests granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Security Documents shall be terminated; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary Guarantees any other Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $75,000,000 on the Investment Grade Date or at any time thereafter, then the Company and/or
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 161 TechnipFMC | Internal such Restricted Subsidiary shall be required to Guarantee the Obligations and no such Guarantee shall be released on the Investment Grade Date or thereafter except as expressly set forth herein (such Guarantees, the “Investment Grade Retained Credit Support”). In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release (except as expressly contemplated herein with respect to Investment Grade Credit Support). Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. Each of the Secured Parties irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to effect the releases set forth in this Section, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such officer’s certificates as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence compliance with the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents (including the Administrative Agent’s authority hereunder) and the Secured Parties acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent may rely, without independent investigation on such certificates. SECTION 9.15. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Loan Party that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, and each Loan Party agrees to provide such information from time to time to such Lender, such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, as applicable. SECTION 9.16. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree, and acknowledge their Subsidiaries’ understanding, that no Credit Party will have any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each Credit Party is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s-length contractual counterparty to the Borrowers with respect to the Loan Documents and the transaction contemplated therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrowers or any other person. The Borrowers agree that they will not assert any claim against any Credit Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, the Borrowers acknowledge and agree that no Credit Party is advising the Borrowers as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. The Borrowers shall consult with their own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making their own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrowers with respect thereto. The Borrowers further acknowledge and agree, and acknowledge their Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any Credit Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, you and other companies with which you may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 162 TechnipFMC | Internal Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion. In addition, the Borrowers acknowledge and agree, and acknowledge their Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which you may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from you by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with you in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies. You also acknowledge that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to you, confidential information obtained from other companies. SECTION 9.17. Non-Public Information. (a) Each Lender acknowledges that all information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent pursuant to or in connection with, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain MNPI. Each Lender represents to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that (i) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of MNPI and that it will handle MNPI in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including Federal, State and foreign securities laws, and (ii) it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain MNPI in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, State and foreign securities laws. (b) The Borrowers and each Lender acknowledge that, if information furnished by the Borrowers pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement is being distributed by the Administrative Agent through the Platform, (i) the Administrative Agent may post any information that the Borrowers have indicated as containing MNPI solely on that portion of the Platform as is designated for private side Lender representatives and (ii) if the Borrowers have not indicated whether any information furnished by it pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement contains MNPI, the Administrative Agent reserves the right to post such information solely on that portion of the Platform as is designated for private side Lender representatives. The Borrowers agree to clearly designate all information provided to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the Borrowers that is suitable to be made available to public side Lender representatives, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such designation by the Borrowers without liability or responsibility for the independent verification thereof. SECTION 9.18. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 163 TechnipFMC | Internal (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority. SECTION 9.19. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): (a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. (b) As used in this Section 9.19, the following terms have the following meanings:
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 164 TechnipFMC | Internal “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party. “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82 (b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D). SECTION 9.20. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with usual and customary banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices in the United States of America on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of such Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Credit Party hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender, the applicable Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender, the applicable Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender, the applicable Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, such Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender, the applicable Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender, the applicable Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 2.18, each Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to promptly remit such excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). SECTION 9.21. Borrower Representative. Each of the U.S. Borrower and FinanceCo hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including with respect to (i) the giving and receipt of notices (including any Borrowing Request) and (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, each of the U.S. Borrower and FinanceCo hereby acknowledges that
509265-2360-19308-ACTIVE.66444598.5 165 TechnipFMC | Internal any amendment or other modification to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be effected as set forth in Section 9.02, that no consent of the U.S. Borrower or FinanceCo shall be required to effect any such amendment or other modification and that the U.S. Borrower and FinanceCo shall be bound by this Agreement or any other Loan Document (to which it is already a party) as so amended or modified.
