NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2010

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Babcock & Wilcox Operations of McDermott International, Inc. (the “Company”) represent a combined reporting entity comprised of the assets and liabilities in managing and operating the Power Generation Systems and Government Operations segments of McDermott International, Inc. (“MII”) in addition to two captive insurance companies which have been combined and contributed to The Babcock & Wilcox Company (“B&W”) in conjunction with the spin-off of B&W by MII.

On July 2, 2010, MII’s Board of Directors approved the spin-off of B&W through the distribution of shares of B&W common stock to holders of MII common stock. The distribution of B&W common stock was made on July 30, 2010, and consisted of one share of B&W common stock for every two shares of MII common stock to holders of MII common stock as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the record date, July 9, 2010. Cash was paid in lieu of any fractional shares of B&W common stock. B&W became a separate publicly traded company, and MII did not retain any ownership interest in us. A registration statement on Form 10 describing the spin-off was filed by B&W with the Securities and Exchange Commission and was declared effective on July 8, 2010.

We have presented our condensed combined financial statements in U.S. Dollars in accordance with the interim reporting requirements of Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Financial information and disclosures normally included in our financial statements prepared annually in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. Readers of these financial statements should, therefore, refer to the condensed combined financial statements and notes included in our Form 10 for the year ended December 31, 2009. We have included all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation.

We use the equity method to account for investments in entities that we do not control, but over which we have significant influence. We generally refer to these entities as “joint ventures.” We have eliminated all significant intercompany transactions and accounts. We have evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of this report. We present the notes to our condensed combined financial statements on the basis of continuing operations, unless otherwise stated.

Certain corporate and general and administrative expenses, including those related to executive management, tax, accounting, legal and treasury services, and certain employee benefits, have been allocated based on a level of effort calculation. Our management believes such allocations are reasonable. However, the associated expenses reflected in the accompanying combined statements of income may not be indicative of the actual expenses that would have been incurred had the combined businesses been operating as an independent public company for the periods presented. Following the spin-off from MII, B&W will perform these functions using internal resources or services provided by third parties, certain of which may be provided by MII during a transitional period pursuant to a transition services agreement.

Hereinafter, “MII” shall mean McDermott International, Inc., a Panamanian corporation. Unless the context otherwise indicates, “we,” “us” and “our” mean B&W and its combined subsidiaries.

Before our separation from MII, we entered into a Master Separation Agreement and several other agreements with MII to effect the separation and distribution of our common stock to MII stockholders and provide a framework for B&W’s relationship with MII. These agreements govern the relationship between MII and B&W subsequent to the completion of the spin-off and provide for the allocation between B&W and MII of MII’s assets, liabilities and obligations attributable to periods prior to the spin-off. Because the terms of our separation from MII and these agreements were entered into in the context of a related-party transaction, these terms may not be comparable to terms that would be obtained in a transaction between unaffiliated parties.

Master Separation Agreement

The Master Separation Agreement between us and MII contains the key provisions relating to the separation of our business from MII and the distribution of our shares of common stock. The master separation agreement identifies the assets that were transferred, liabilities that were assumed and contracts that were assigned to us by MII or by us to MII in the spin-off and describes how these transfers, assumptions and assignments occurred. Under the master separation agreement we are indemnifying MII and its remaining subsidiaries against various claims and liabilities related to the past operation of our business.

Tax Sharing Agreement

We and a subsidiary of MII have entered into an agreement providing for the sharing of taxes incurred before and after the distribution, various indemnification rights with respect to tax matters and restrictions to preserve the tax-free status of the distribution to MII. Under the terms of the tax sharing agreement, we are generally responsible for any taxes imposed on us or MII and its subsidiaries in the event that certain transactions related to the spin-off fail to qualify for tax-free treatment. However, if these transactions fail to qualify for tax-free treatment because of actions or failures to act by MII or its subsidiaries, a subsidiary of MII would be responsible for all such taxes.

Transition Services Agreements

Under certain transition services agreements we and MII are providing each other certain transition services on an interim basis. Such services include accounting, human resources, information technology, legal, risk management, tax and treasury. In consideration for such services, we and MII each pay fees to the other for the services provided, and those fees generally in amounts intended to allow the party providing the services to recover its direct and indirect costs incurred in providing those services. The transition service agreements contain customary mutual indemnification provisions.

We operate in two business segments: Power Generation Systems and Government Operations , further described as follows:

•

Our Power Generation Systems segment supplies boilers fired with fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas, or renewable fuels such as biomass, municipal solid waste and concentrated solar energy. In addition, we supply commercial nuclear steam generators and components, environmental equipment and components, and related services to customers in different regions around the world. We design, engineer, manufacture, supply, construct and service large utility and industrial power generation systems, including boilers used to generate steam in electric power plants, pulp and paper making, chemical and process applications and other industrial uses.

•

Our Government Operations segment manufactures nuclear components and provides various services to the U.S. Government, including uranium processing, environmental site restoration services and management and operating services for various U.S. Government-owned facilities. These services are provided to the DOE, including the National Nuclear Security Administration, the Office of Nuclear Energy, the Office of Science and the Office of Environmental Management.

The combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. Furthermore, these results do not necessarily reflect what the combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had the combined businesses operated as an independent public company during the periods presented, including changes in its operations and capitalization as a result of the spin-off from MII. For further information, refer to the condensed combined financial statements and the related footnotes included in the Form 10.

Comprehensive Loss

The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss included in parent equity are as follows:


	June 30, 2010			December 31, 2009
	(Unaudited) (In thousands)
Currency translation adjustments	$	24,232		$	31,728
Net unrealized loss on investments		(204	)		(375	)
Net unrealized loss on derivative financial instruments		(4,889	)		(5,758	)
Unrecognized losses on benefit obligations		(451,593	)		(572,169	)

Accumulated other comprehensive loss	$	(432,454	)	$	(546,574	)

Inventories

The components of inventories are as follows:


	June 30, 2010		December 31, 2009
	(Unaudited) (In thousands)
Raw materials and supplies	$	71,258	$	71,207
Work in progress		6,791		6,381
Finished goods		19,814		21,056

Total inventories	$	97,863	$	98,644

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

At June 30, 2010, we had restricted cash and cash equivalents totaling $19.2 million, $8.7 million of which was held in restricted foreign accounts, $3.5 million of which was held as cash collateral for letters of credit, $4.0 million of which was held for future decommissioning of facilities, $2.9 million of which was held in other restricted accounts and $0.1 million of which was held to meet reinsurance reserve requirements of our captive insurer.

Warranty Expense

We accrue estimated expense to satisfy contractual warranty requirements when we recognize the associated revenue on the related contracts. In addition, we make specific provisions where we expect the actual warranty costs to significantly exceed the accrued estimates. Such specific provisions could have a material effect on our combined financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The following summarizes the changes in the carrying amount of our accrued warranty expense:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2010			2009
	(Unaudited) (In thousands)
Balance at beginning of period	$	115,055		$	119,722
Additions and adjustments		4,291			13,210
Charges		(4,566	)		(8,459	)

Balance at end of period	$	114,780		$	124,473

Research & Development

Research and development activities are related to development and improvement of new and existing products and equipment and conceptual engineering evaluation for translation into practical applications. We charge to cost of operations the costs of research and development unrelated to specific contracts as incurred. Substantially all of these costs are in our Power Generation Systems segment and include costs related to the development of carbon capture and sequestration technologies and our modular and scalable nuclear reactors, B&W mPower ^TM . For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 our net research and development expense included in cost of operations totaled approximately $33.3 million and $20.5 million, respectively.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to the topic Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This update adds new fair value disclosures for certain transfers of investments between Level 1 and Level 2 measurements and clarifies existing disclosures regarding valuation techniques. On January 1, 2010, we adopted this revision. The adoption of this revision did not have an impact on our condensed combined financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued a revision to the topic Consolidation. This revision clarifies the scope of partial sale and deconsolidation provisions related to acquisitions and noncontrolling interests. On January 1, 2010, we adopted this revision. The adoption of this revision did not have an impact on our condensed combined financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued a revision to the topic Consolidation. This revision was subsequently amended in December 2009 and February 2010. These revisions expand the scope of this topic and amend guidance for assessing and analyzing variable interest entities. These revisions were effective on January 1, 2010 and had no impact on our condensed combined financial statements.

New Accounting Standards

In January 2010, the FASB issued a revision to the topic Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This revision sets forth new rules on providing enhanced information for Level 3 measurements. The disclosure provisions under this revision will be effective for us in 2011, in both interim and annual disclosures. We do not expect the adoption of this revision to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Other than as described above, there have been no material changes to the recent pronouncements discussed in the Form 10.

NOTE 2 – BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

In January 2010, we acquired the net assets of Gotaverken Miljo AB (GMAB), a flue gas cleaning and energy recovery company based in Gothenburg, Sweden for approximately $8.6 million.

On April 2, 2010, we acquired the electrostatic precipitator aftermarket and emissions monitoring business units of GE Energy, a division of General Electric Company, for approximately $22.0 million. This acquisition includes GE Energy’s electrostatic precipitator replacement parts and mechanical components product lines, performance-enhancing hardware, controls and software, remote diagnostics equipment and emissions monitoring products and services. These products and services are used by a wide variety of power generation and industrial customers to monitor and control particulates and other emissions from power plants, factories and other facilities. These business units maintain offices in the United States in Kansas City, Missouri, Folkston, Georgia, Newport News, Virginia and Hatfield, Pennsylvania, as well as locations in Germany, India and China.

We expect to finalize our purchase price allocations for both of these acquisitions by the end of 2010.

NOTE 3 – PENSION PLANS AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Other than as noted below, there have been no material changes during the period covered by this Form 10-Q in the status of the legal proceedings disclosed in Note 9 to the condensed combined financial statements in the Form 10.

Investigations and Litigation

Since January 2010, six suits (including the McMunn Litigation described in the Form 10) involving over 60 plaintiffs have been filed against Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group, Inc. (“B&W PGG”), Babcock & Wilcox Technical Services Group, Inc., formerly known as B&W Nuclear Environmental Services, Inc. (together with B&W PGG, the “B&W Parties”) and Atlantic Richfield Company, a subsidiary of BP plc (“ARCO”) in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (the “Apollo and Parks Township Litigation”). The plaintiffs in the Apollo and Parks Township Litigation allege, among other things, that they suffered personal injuries and property damage as a result of alleged radioactive and non-radioactive releases relating to the operation, remediation and/or decommissioning of two former nuclear fuel processing facilities located in Apollo and Parks Township, Pennsylvania. Those facilities previously were owned by Nuclear Materials and Equipment Company, a former subsidiary of ARCO (“NUMEC”) which was acquired by B&W PGG. The plaintiffs in the Apollo and Parks Township Litigation seek compensatory and punitive damages. It is possible that additional, similar lawsuits will be filed.

At the time of ARCO’s sale of NUMEC to B&W PGG, B&W PGG received an indemnity and hold harmless agreement from ARCO from claims or liabilities arising as a result of pre-closing NUMEC or ARCO actions.

We intend to vigorously defend these matters, and believe that in the event of liability, if any, the claims alleged in the Apollo and Parks Township Litigation will be resolved within the limits of coverage of our insurance policies and/or the ARCO indemnity.

NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Our foreign operations give rise to exposure to market risks from changes in foreign exchange rates. We use derivative financial instruments (primarily foreign currency forward-exchange contracts) to reduce the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on our operating results. We use these instruments primarily to hedge our exposure associated with revenues or costs on our long-term contracts and other cash flow exposures that are denominated in currencies other than our operating entities’ functional currencies. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

We enter into derivative financial instruments primarily as hedges of certain firm purchase and sale commitments denominated in foreign currencies. We record these contracts at fair value on our combined balance sheets. Depending

on the hedge designation at the inception of the contract, the related gains and losses on these contracts are either deferred in parent equity (deficit) as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, until the hedged item is recognized in earnings, or offset against the change in fair value of the hedged firm commitment through earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value and any portion excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are immediately recognized in earnings. The gain or loss on a derivative instrument not designated as a hedging instrument is also immediately recognized in earnings. Gains and losses on derivative financial instruments that require immediate recognition are included as a component of other income (expense) – net in our condensed combined statements of income.

We have designated all of our forward contracts as cash flow hedging instruments. The hedged risk is the risk of changes in functional-currency-equivalent cash flows attributable to changes in spot exchange rates of forecasted transactions related to long-term contracts and certain capital expenditures. We exclude from our assessment of effectiveness the portion of the fair value of the forward contracts attributable to the difference between spot exchange rates and forward exchange rates. At June 30, 2010, we had deferred approximately $4.9 million of net losses on these derivative financial instruments in accumulated other comprehensive loss. We expect to recognize approximately $1.4 million of this amount in the next 12 months.

At June 30, 2010, all of our derivative financial instruments consisted of foreign currency forward-exchange contracts. The notional value of our forward contracts totaled $281.1 million at June 30, 2010, with maturities extending to June 2013. These instruments consist primarily of contracts to purchase or sell Canadian Dollars. The fair value of these contracts was in a net liability position totaling $4.1 million at June 30, 2010, and all of the contracts were Level 2 in nature. The value of these derivative assets and liabilities is computed by discounting the projected future cash flow amounts to present value using market-based observable inputs, including foreign exchange forward and spot rates, interest rates and counterparty performance risk adjustments. We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments. However, when possible, we enter into International Swaps and Derivative Association, Inc. agreements with our hedge counterparties to mitigate this risk. We also attempt to mitigate this risk by using major financial institutions with high credit ratings and limit our exposure to hedge counterparties based on their credit ratings. The counterparties to all of our derivative financial instruments are financial institutions included in our credit facility described in Note 6 to the condensed combined financial statements included in Form 10. Our hedge counterparties have the benefit of the same collateral arrangements and covenants as described under these facilities.

The following tables summarize our derivative financial instruments at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

Other Financial Instruments

We used the following methods and assumptions in estimating our fair value disclosures for our other financial instruments, as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents . The carrying amounts that we have reported in the accompanying combined balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values.

Long-term and short-term debt . We base the fair values of debt instruments on quoted market prices. Where quoted prices are not available, we base the fair values on the present value of future cash flows discounted at estimated borrowing rates for similar debt instruments or on estimated prices based on current yields for debt issues of similar quality and terms.

The estimated fair values of our financial instruments are as follows:

NOTE 9 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

We are party to transactions with MII and its subsidiaries occurring in the normal course of operations.

Certain corporate and general and administrative expenses have been allocated to MII and and its subsidiaries based on a level of effort calculation. We allocated expense of $17.6 million and $23.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Our note receivable from affiliate of $42.6 million at December 31, 2009 was settled in April 2010 for $43.8 million. This interest-bearing loan was executed by Babcock & Wilcox Canada, Ltd., a subsidiary of B&W PGG, with J. Ray McDermott Canada Holding, Ltd. (“JRMCHL”) for up to 60 million Canadian Dollars. The actual amount funded to JRMCHL under this agreement was $45.2 million. We included in interest income $0.5 million and $0.3 million relative to this note receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

As a result of the spin-off, there were numerous related party transactions that impacted our equity. These are discussed below.

Dividend – In June 2010 we paid a dividend of $100 million to MII to maintain appropriate working capital needs. This amount was based on a determination by the MII board of directors after a review of the MII consolidated cash position and the respective foreseeable working capital and liquidity requirements for each of MII and B&W following the spin-off.

Intercompany transactions – In connection with the spin-off, the majority of receivable and payable balances with MII and its subsidiaries were non-cash settled. Capital in excess of par increased by $441.9 million for the settlement of these intercompany balances , which includes settlement of a note payable of approximately $277.8 million, including accrued interest, issued to McDermott Kft., Budapest, Zug branch, the registered branch of McDermott Group Financing Limited Liability Company. We included in interest expense $8.7 million and $11.5 million relative to this loan in the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Transfer of tax balances – In connection with the spin-off, certain tax assets and liabilities were transferred between us and a subsidiary of MII. The net result of these transfers was an increase in our tax liability of and a reduction in capital in excess of par of approximately $29.5 million.

Transfer of pension liability – In connection with the spin-off, the pension liability pertaining to certain legacy employees of subsidiaries included in MII’s Offshore Oil and Gas Construction segment was transferred to MII, along with the corresponding subsidiary holding these liabilities. This transfer was recorded as a capital contribution and resulted in a net increase in our equity of $92.3 million, which includes a reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $93.3 million and a reduction in capital in excess of par of $1.0 million. Our condensed combined balance sheets include a reduction of $92.3 million in our pension liability.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed combined financial statements and the notes thereto included under Item 1 and the audited combined financial statements and the related notes included in our Form 10 filed with the Securities and exchange commission and declared effective on July 8, 2010 (as amended through the time of such effectiveness, the “Form 10”).

In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise indicates, “we,” “us” and “our” mean B&W and its combined subsidiaries.

We are including the following discussion to inform our existing and potential security holders generally of some of the risks and uncertainties that can affect our company and to take advantage of the “safe harbor” protection for forward-looking statements that applicable federal securities law affords.

From time to time, our management or persons acting on our behalf make forward-looking statements to inform existing and potential security holders about our company. These statements may include projections and estimates

concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future backlog, revenues, income and capital spending. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “goal” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. In addition, sometimes we will specifically describe a statement as being a forward-looking statement and refer to this cautionary statement.

These forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that relate to, or statements that are subject to risks, contingencies or uncertainties that relate to:

•

effects of the spin-off, including with respect to taxes;

•

future levels of revenues, operating margins, income from operations, net income or earnings per share;

•

anticipated levels of demand for our products and services;

•

future levels of capital, environmental or maintenance expenditures;

•

the success or timing of completion of ongoing or anticipated capital or maintenance projects;

•

expectations regarding the acquisition or divestiture of assets;

•

our ability to obtain surety bonding capacity;

•

our ability to obtain appropriate insurance and indemnities;

•

timing for bringing the operations of Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc. back online;

•

the potential effects of judicial or other proceedings on our business and businesses, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows; and

•

the anticipated effects of actions of third parties such as competitors, or federal, foreign, state or local regulatory authorities, or plaintiffs in litigation.

In addition, various statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including those that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report; we disclaim any obligation to update these statements unless required by securities law, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These risks, contingencies and uncertainties relate to, among other matters, the following:

•

general economic and business conditions and industry trends;

•

general developments in the industries in which we are involved;

•

decisions on spending by the U.S. Government and electric power generating companies;

•

the highly competitive nature of most of our operations;

•

cancellations of and adjustments to backlog and the resulting impact from using backlog as an indicator of future earnings;

•

our ability to perform projects on time, in accordance with the schedules established by the applicable contracts with customers;

•

the ability of our suppliers to deliver raw materials in sufficient quantities and in a timely manner;

•

volatility and uncertainty of the credit markets;

•

our ability to comply with covenants in our credit agreements and other debt instruments and availability, terms and deployment of capital;

•

the impact of our unfunded pension liabilities on liquidity, and our ability to fund such liabilities in the future, including our ability to continue being reimbursed by the U.S. Government for a portion of our pension funding obligations, which is contingent on maintaining our government contracts ;

•

the continued availability of qualified personnel;

•

the operating risks normally incident to our lines of business, including the potential impact of liquidated damages;

•

changes in, or our failure or inability to comply with, government regulations;

•

adverse outcomes from legal and regulatory proceedings;

•

impact of potential regional, national and/or global requirements to significantly limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the future;

•

changes in, and liabilities relating to, existing or future environmental regulatory matters;

•

rapid technological changes;

•

the realization of deferred tax assets, including through a reorganization MII completed in December 2006;

•

the consequences of significant changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates;

•

difficulties we may encounter in obtaining regulatory or other necessary approvals of any strategic transactions;

•

the risks associated with integrating businesses we acquire;

•

the risk we might not be successful in updating and replacing current key financial and human resources legacy systems with enterprise systems;

•

social, political and economic situations in foreign countries where we do business;

•

the possibilities of war, other armed conflicts or terrorist attacks;

•

the effects of asserted and unasserted claims;

•

our ability to obtain surety bonds, letters of credit and financing;

•

our ability to maintain builder’s risk, liability, property and other insurance in amounts and on terms we consider adequate and at rates that we consider economical;

•

the aggregated risks retained in our captive insurance subsidiary; and

•

the impact of the loss of insurance rights as part of the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy settlement concluded in 2006 involving several of our subsidiaries.

We believe the items we have outlined above are important factors that could cause estimates in our financial statements to differ materially from actual results and those expressed in a forward-looking statement made in this report or elsewhere by us or on our behalf. We have discussed many of these factors in more detail elsewhere in this report and in the Form 10. These factors are not necessarily all the factors that could affect us. Unpredictable or unanticipated factors we have not discussed in this report could also have material adverse effects on actual results of matters that are the subject of our forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update our description of important factors each time a potential important factor arises, except as required by applicable securities laws and regulations. We advise our security holders that they should (1) be aware that factors not referred to above could affect the accuracy of our forward-looking statements and (2) use caution and common sense when considering our forward-looking statements.

GENERAL

Spin-Off Transaction

Capital Intensive Business Segments

In general, we operate in capital-intensive industries and rely on large contracts for a substantial amount of our revenues. We are currently exploring growth strategies across our segments through acquisitions to expand and complement our existing businesses. As we pursue these opportunities, we expect they would be funded by cash on hand, external financing (including debt), equity or some combination thereof.

Accounting for Contracts

As of June 30, 2010, in accordance with the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, we have provided for our estimated costs to complete all of our ongoing contracts. However, it is possible that current estimates could change due to unforeseen events, which could result in adjustments to overall contract costs. The risk on fixed-priced contracts is that revenue from the customer does not rise to cover increases in our costs. It is possible that current estimates could materially change for various reasons, including, but not limited to, fluctuations in forecasted labor productivity or steel and other raw material prices. In some instances, we guarantee completion dates related to our projects. Increases in costs on our fixed-price contracts could have a material adverse impact on our combined results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Alternatively, reductions in overall contract costs at completion could materially improve our combined results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Power Generation Systems Segment

Our Power Generation Systems segment’s overall activity depends mainly on the capital expenditures of electric power generating companies and other steam-using industries. Several factors influence these expenditures, including:

•

prices for electricity, along with the cost of production and distribution;

•

prices for coal and natural gas and other sources used to produce electricity;

•

demand for electricity, paper and other end products of steam-generating facilities;

•

availability of other sources of electricity, paper or other end products;

•

requirements for environmental improvements;

•

impact of potential regional, state, national and/or global requirements to significantly limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the future;

•

level of capacity utilization at operating power plants, paper mills and other steam-using facilities;

•

requirements for maintenance and upkeep at operating power plants and paper mills to combat the accumulated effects of wear and tear;

•

ability of electric generating companies and other steam users to raise capital; and

•

relative prices of fuels used in boilers, compared to prices for fuels used in gas turbines and other alternative forms of generation.

On July 14, 2010 Babcock & Wilcox Nuclear Energy, Inc. and Bechtel Power Corporation entered into a formal alliance to design, license and deploy the world’s first commercially viable Generation III++ small modular nuclear power plant.

Government Operations Segment

The revenues of our Government Operations segment are largely a function of defense spending by the U.S. Government. As a supplier of major nuclear components for certain U.S. Government programs, this segment is a significant participant in the defense industry. With its specialized capabilities of full life-cycle management of special nuclear materials, facilities and technologies, our Government Operations segment participates in the cleanup, operation and management of the nuclear sites and weapons complexes maintained by the U.S. Department of Energy.

We have brought back on line substantially all of the suspended operations of our Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc. subsidiary. The production operations are now fully operational. We expect to bring the commercial development line back on line by the end of January 2011.

For a summary of the critical accounting policies and estimates that we use in the preparation of our unaudited condensed combined financial statements, see the Form 10. There have been no material changes to these policies during the six months ended June 30, 2010, except as disclosed in Note 1 of the notes to condensed combined financial statements included in this report.

Revenues decreased approximately 6%, or $43.6 million, to $688.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $732.1 million in the corresponding period of 2009. In the second quarter of 2010, as compared to the second quarter of 2009, our Power Generation Systems segment experienced a $48.6 million, or 10%, reduction in its revenues attributable primarily to a $26.5 million decrease in revenues from our new-build steam generation business, which principally consists of our utility, industrial and renewable boiler products and services, and a $22.9 million decrease in our aftermarket services business, primarily related to our repair, alteration and maintenance activities. Our Government Operations segment generated a 2%, or $5.8 million increase in its revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the corresponding period of 2009, primarily attributable to increased volume in the manufacture of nuclear components for certain U.S. Government programs and recovery work.

Operating income decreased $4.9 million to $85.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $90.6 million in the corresponding period of 2009. The operating income of our Power Generation Systems segment decreased $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2010, as compared to the second quarter of 2009. The operating income of our Government Operations Systems segment decreased by $7.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the corresponding period of 2009.

Power Generation Systems

Revenues decreased approximately 10%, or $48.6 million, to $422.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $471.0 million in the corresponding period of 2009. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $26.5 million decrease in revenues from our new-build steam generation business, which principally consists of our utility, industrial and renewable boiler products operations. In addition, we experienced a $22.9 million decrease in our aftermarket services business, primarily related to a reduction in our repair, alteration and maintenance activities. The main driver for these decreases in revenues was a significant decrease in orders in 2009 and particularly in the last six months of 2009. These reductions in orders booked followed a Federal Appeals Court’s overturning of the Clean Air Interstate Rule, the Clean Air Mercury Rule and the Industrial Boiler Rule on Maximum Achievable Control Technology. The overturning of these rules and regulations, along with the uncertainty concerning any new legislation or replacement rules or regulations, has caused many of our major customers, principally electric utilities, to delay making substantial capital expenditures for new plants, as well as upgrades to existing power plants. In addition, considerations surrounding greenhouse gas limits under consideration by the U.S. Congress and the EPA have delayed the construction of new coal-fired power plants in the United States. We currently believe, as the EPA finalizes the revised rules and regulations (which we anticipate may be released in final form by mid 2011), our U.S. customers will increase their expenditures on environmental equipment to bring their operating, coal-fired power plants into compliance with the new emissions limits. When the final EPA rules are released, we expect that our bookings from new environmental equipment for those existing plants will begin to increase with revenue and operating income to follow normal project cycles. It is also possible that some of our customers may elect to close down their least efficient coal-fired boilers, and, as a result, our revenues and operating income from upgrade and retrofit activities from those customers may decline.

Operating income decreased $4.0 million to $39.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $43.8 million in the corresponding period of 2009. We experienced decreases in our new-build steam generation and aftermarket services businesses totaling $15.6 million, primarily attributable to the reductions in revenues discussed above. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in operating income totaling $6.0 million from our new- build environmental business, which includes the manufacture and sale of scrubber products, particle control products and our selective catalytic reduction systems applications. These increases were primarily attributable to the effects of timing on projects completed in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the corresponding period of 2009. In addition, in the three months ended June 30, 2010, we experienced an increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses totaling $7.7 million primarily attributable to our acquisition of the electrostatic precipitator aftermarket and emissions monitoring business units of GE Energy, a division of General Electric Company, and increases in our selling and marketing expenses. In the three months ended June 30, 2010, we also experienced an increase in our research and development expense totaling $6.0 million primarily attributable to development work on the B&W mPower ^TM initiative. These reductions in operating income were partially offset by the incurrence of lower warranty expense totaling $11.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2009. Our provisions for warranty in the three months ended June 30, 2009 included additional warranty provisions related to specific corrective items. In addition, we experienced an increase in income of investees totaling $6.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the corresponding 2009 period, primarily attributable to improved results in our joint venture in China from improved margins due to reductions in costs on purchases of materials.

Government Operations

Revenues increased approximately 2%, or $5.8 million, to $267.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $261.4 million in the corresponding period of 2009, primarily attributable to increased volume in the manufacture of nuclear components for certain U.S. Government programs ($25.6 million) and increased revenues from our management and operating contracts at two government sites. These increases were partially offset by lower volumes in the manufacture of components for a commercial uranium enrichment project ($11.9 million) and lower volumes in commercial manufacturing ($9.0 million).

Operating income decreased $7.0 million to $50.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $57.5 million in the corresponding period of 2009, primarily attributable to favorable contract cost adjustments related to a downblending contract at our Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc. subsidiary in the three months ended June 30, 2009. We also experienced lower volumes in the manufacture of components for a commercial uranium enrichment project. These decreases were partially offset by increased contract productivity and volume in the manufacture of nuclear components for certain U.S. Government programs and increased fees earned from our

management and operating contracts at several government sites. Our equity in income of investees increased $1.3 million to $10.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $8.7 million in the corresponding period of 2009, primarily attributable to higher fees earned at two of our government sites, partially offset by lower results at our facility in Idaho.

Corporate

Unallocated corporate expenses decreased $6.0 million to $4.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $10.7 million for the corresponding period in 2009, primarily attributable to reduced stock based compensation expense, lower compensation expenses attributable to reductions in headcount, and lower expenses associated with systems development activities in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the corresponding period of 2009.

Other Income Statement Items

Interest expense decreased $2.3 million to $4.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to a decrease in interest expense attributable to forgiveness of our intercompany borrowings.

Other expense – net decreased by $3.6 million to expense of $3.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 from expense of $7.5 million for the corresponding period of 2009, primarily due to higher currency translation exchange losses incurred in the second quarter of 2009.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the provision for income taxes increased $1.0 million to $29.6 million, while income before provision for income taxes increased $0.3 million to $77.3 million. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately 38.3%, as compared to 37.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Income before provision for income taxes, provision for income taxes and effective tax rates for our U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions are as shown below:


	Income before Provision for Income Taxes				Provision for Income Taxes				Effective Tax Rate

Total	$	77,295	$	77,034	$	29,583	$	28,574	38.27	%	37.09	%

We are subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 35% on our U.S. operations, plus the applicable state income taxes on our profitable U.S. subsidiaries. Our non-U.S. earnings are subject to tax at various tax rates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2010 vs. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009

The Babcock & Wilcox Operations of McDermott International, Inc. (Combined)

Revenues decreased approximately 11%, or $166.2 million, to $1,350.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $1,517.1 million in the corresponding period of 2009. Our Power Generation Systems segment experienced a 17%, or $167.5 million reduction in its revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2009, attributable primarily to decreases in its new-build environmental business, and decreases in its aftermarket services business, primarily related to our repair, alteration and maintenance activities. Our Government Operations segment revenues increased by $1.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the corresponding period of 2009.

Operating income decreased $61.5 million to $124.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $185.9 million in the corresponding period of 2009. The operating income of our Power Generation Systems segment decreased $52.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the corresponding period in 2009. The operating income of our Government Operations segment decreased $16.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the corresponding period in 2009.

Power Generation Systems

Revenues decreased approximately 17%, or $167.5 million, to $832.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $999.6 million in the corresponding period of 2009. This decrease was primarily attributable to decreases totaling $86.7 million in our new-build environmental business and our selective catalytic reductions systems applications, and decreases totaling $75.3 million in our aftermarket services business, primarily related to a reduction in repair, alteration and maintenance activities. These decreases in revenues were partially offset by increases in revenues from our nuclear service and nuclear steam generator operations. The main driver for these decreases in revenues was a significant decrease in orders in 2009 and particularly in the last six months of 2009. These reductions in orders booked followed a Federal Appeals Court’s overturning of the Clean Air Interstate Rule, the Clean Air Mercury Rule and the Industrial Boiler Rule on Maximum Achievable Control Technology. The overturning of these rules and regulations, along with the uncertainty concerning any new legislation or replacement rules or regulations, has caused many of our major customers, principally electric utilities, to delay making substantial capital expenditures for new plants, as well as upgrades to existing power plants. In addition, considerations surrounding greenhouse gas limits under consideration by the U.S. Congress and the EPA have delayed the construction of new coal-fired power plants in the United States. We currently believe, as the EPA finalizes the revised rules and regulations (which we anticipate may be released in final form by mid 2011), our U.S. customers will increase their expenditures on environmental equipment to bring their operating, coal-fired power plants into compliance with the new emissions limits. When the final EPA rules are released, we expect that our bookings from new environmental equipment for those existing plants will begin to increase with revenue and operating income to follow normal project cycles. It is also possible that some of our customers may elect to close down their least efficient coal-fired boilers, and, as a result, our revenues and operating income from upgrade and retrofit activities from those customers may decline. These decreases were partially offset by increases in revenues from our nuclear service and nuclear steam generator operations.

Operating income decreased $52.9 million to $49.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $102.0 million in the corresponding period of 2009. We experienced decreases in our new-build environmental business totaling $16.3 million, our new-build steam generation business totaling $22.3 million and our aftermarket services business totaling $13.5 million, primarily attributable to the decreases in revenues discussed above. In addition, we experienced an increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses totaling $13.2 million, primarily attributable to our acquisition of the electrostatic precipitator aftermarket and emissions monitoring business units of GE Energy, a division of General Electric Company, and increases in our selling and marketing expenses. We also experienced an increase in our research and development expense totaling $13.6 million, primarily attributable to development work on the B&W mPower ^TM initiative. These factors were partially offset by the incurrence of lower warranty expense totaling $7.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 2009. Our provisions for warranty in the 2009 period included additional warranty provisions related to specific corrective items. In addition we experienced an increase in income of investees totaling $8.9 million primarily attributable to improved results in our joint venture in China from improved margins due to reductions in costs on purchases of materials.

Government Operations

Revenues increased approximately 0.4%, or $1.9 million, to $520.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $518.5 million in the corresponding period of 2009, primarily attributable to increased volumes in the manufacture of nuclear components for certain U.S. Government programs ($57.7 million) and increased revenues from our management and operating contracts at two government sites. These factors were partially offset by lower volumes in the manufacture of components for a commercial uranium enrichment project ($30.8 million) and lower volumes in commercial manufacturing ($24.5 million).

Operating income decreased $16.7 million to $86.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $103.2 million for the corresponding period of 2009, primarily attributable to production delays and lower productivity at our NFS facility. In December 2009, we temporarily suspended the operations of NFS in consultation with the NRC following the occurrence of two separate incidents that we reported to the NRC in October and November 2009. The October 2009 incident involved the generation of excessive heat and a hazardous gas at a

specialized cleaning station. The incident was caused by the processing of a small amount of uranium-aluminum material in nitric acid. This incident resulted in some damage to piping, but did not result in any injuries to personnel or offsite releases of chemical or radioactive material. The November 2009 incident involved a fire in a glovebox enclosure. The incident was caused by a reaction between fluorine gas in a cylinder of uranium and the fiberglass backing of the teflon lining of a vent hose attached to the cylinder within the glovebox enclosure. This incident resulted in damage to a hose and a faceplate within the glove box enclosure, but did not result in any injuries to personnel or offsite releases of chemical or radioactive material. Inspections conducted separately by the NRC, our existing nuclear liability underwriter and us revealed specific modifications necessary to improve Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc.’s overall safety performance. The suspended operations included production operations, the commercial development line and the highly enriched uranium down-blending facility. These operations are in the process of being brought back on line through a phased restart, which we commenced in March 2010 following completion of a third-party review and NRC review of the modifications that were implemented. The production operations are now fully operational. We began bringing the highly enriched uranium down-blending facility back on line, through a phased restart, in May 2010, and the facility is now substantially fully operational. We expect to bring the commercial development line back on line by the end of January 2011. That line represented less than 0.5% of our combined revenues in 2009. The impact of the shutdown on operating income was approximately $10.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. In addition, we experienced lower volumes in the manufacture of components for a commercial uranium enrichment project and increased general and administrative expenses. In addition, the six months ended June 30, 2009 included favorable contract cost adjustments related to a downblending contract. These factors were partially offset by increased contract productivity and volumes in the manufacture of nuclear components for certain U.S. Government programs and increased fees earned from our management and operating contracts at several government sites. Our equity in income from investees increased $2.1 million to $19.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $17.4 million in the corresponding period of 2009, primarily attributable to higher fees earned at two of our government sites, partially offset by lower results at our facility in Idaho.

Corporate

Unallocated corporate expenses decreased $8.1 million to $11.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $19.3 million for the corresponding period in 2009, primarily attributable to reduced stock based compensation expense, lower compensation expenses attributable to reductions in headcount, and lower expenses associated with systems development activities in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the corresponding period of 2009.

Other Income Statement Items

Interest income decreased $1.5 million to $0.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to reduced cash and investment balances and lower average interest rates on our investments.

Interest expense decreased $1.5 million to $10.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to a decrease in interest expense attributable to forgiveness of our intercompany borrowings.

Other expense – net decreased by $2.5 million to expense of $7.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 from expense of $9.5 million for the corresponding period of 2009, primarily due to higher currency exchange losses incurred in 2009.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the provision for income taxes decreased $21.5 million to $42.8 million, while income before provision for income taxes decreased $58.9 million to $107.4 million. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately 39.9%, as compared to 38.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Income before provision for income taxes, provision for income taxes and effective tax rates for our U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions are as shown below:


	Income before Provision for Income Taxes				Provision for Income Taxes				Effective Tax Rate
	For the six months ended June 30,
	2010		2009		2010		2009		2010		2009

Backlog

Backlog is not a measure recognized by generally accepted accounting principles. It is possible that our methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to methods used by other companies. We generally include expected revenue in our backlog when we receive written confirmation from our customers and is subject to the budgetary and appropriation cycle of the U.S. Government as it relates to our Government Operations segment. Backlog may not be indicative of future operating results, and projects in our backlog may be cancelled, modified or otherwise altered by customers.


	June 30, 2010		December 31, 2009
	(Unaudited) (In millions)
Power Generation Systems	$	1,816	$	1,974
Government Operations		2,554		2,766


Total Backlog	$	4,370	$	4,740

Of the June 30, 2010 backlog, we expect to recognize revenues as follows:


	2010		2011		Thereafter
	(Unaudited) (In approximate millions)
Power Generation Systems	$	540	$	580	$	696
Government Operations		510		790		1,254


Total Backlog	$	1,050	$	1,370	$	1,950

At June 30, 2010, Government Operations backlog with the U.S. Government was $2.5 billion, which was substantially fully funded. Only $32.8 million had not been funded as of June 30, 2010.

We believe the current worldwide credit and economic environment and short-term uncertainty regarding environmental regulations has affected our customers in the electric utility industry more than our other customers. As these factors affect electrical consumption and customer demand, our bookings during the first half of 2010 were lower than recent periods. While we have not experienced significant delays on existing projects in our Power Generation Systems’ backlog, we have experienced increasing delays in expected bookings on new planned projects, particularly for new power generation and environmental equipment and services.

At June 30, 2010, Power Generation Systems backlog with the U.S. Government was $9.3 million, all of which was fully funded.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Government Operations and Power Generation Systems

On May 3, 2010, our subsidiary Babcock & Wilcox Investment Company (“BWICO”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders and letter of credit issuers, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement provides for revolving credit borrowings and issuances of letters of credit in an aggregate outstanding amount of up to $700 million, and the credit facility is scheduled to mature on May 3, 2014. The proceeds of the Credit Agreement are available for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes of our Government Operations and Power Generation Systems segments. The Credit Agreement includes procedures for additional financial institutions to become lenders, or for any existing lender to increase its commitment thereunder, subject to an aggregate maximum of $850 million for all revolving loan and letter of credit commitments under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by substantially all of BWICO’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. Upon the completion of the spin-off of The Babcock & Wilcox Company, substantially all of The Babcock & Wilcox Company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that are not already guarantors under the Credit Agreement became guarantors. Obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by first-priority liens on certain assets owned by BWICO and the guarantors (other than BWX Technologies, Inc. (“BWXT”) and its subsidiaries). Upon completion of the spin-off of The Babcock & Wilcox Company, The Babcock & Wilcox Company and its wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that became guarantors under the Credit Agreement granted liens on certain assets owned by them. If the corporate rating of B&W and its subsidiaries from Moody’s is Baa3 or better (with a stable outlook or better), the corporate family rating of B&W and its subsidiaries from S&P is BBB- or better (with a stable outlook or better), and certain other conditions are met, the liens securing obligations under the Credit Agreement will be released, subject to reinstatement upon the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement requires only interest payments on a quarterly basis until maturity. The borrower under the Credit Agreement may prepay all loans under the Credit Agreement at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary LIBOR breakage costs), subject to certain notice requirements.

The Credit Agreement contains customary financial covenants relating to leverage and interest coverage and includes covenants that restrict, among other things, debt incurrence, liens, investments, acquisitions, asset dispositions, dividends, prepayments of subordinated debt, mergers, and capital expenditures. At June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all of the covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the borrower’s option at either the Eurodollar rate plus a margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.50% per year or the base rate (the highest of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, the 30-day Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%, or the administrative agent’s prime rate) plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% per year. The applicable margin for revolving loans varies depending on the credit ratings of the Credit Agreement. The borrower under the Credit Agreement is charged a commitment fee on the unused portions of the Credit Agreement, and that fee varies between 0.375% and 0.625% per year depending on the credit ratings of the Credit Agreement. Additionally, the borrower under the Credit Agreement is charged a letter of credit fee of between 2.50% and 3.50% per year with respect to the amount of each financial letter of credit issued under the Credit Agreement and a letter of credit fee of between 1.25% and 1.75% per year with respect to the amount of each performance letter of credit issued under the Credit Agreement, in each case depending on the credit ratings of the Credit Agreement. The borrower under the Credit Agreement also pays customary issuance fees and other fees and expenses in connection with the issuance of letters of credit under the Credit Agreement. In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, BWICO paid certain upfront fees to the lenders thereunder, and BWICO paid certain arrangement and other fees to the arrangers and agents of the BWICO Credit Agreement. At June 30, 2010, there were no borrowings outstanding but letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement totaled $261.7 million. At June 30, 2010, there was $438.3 million available for borrowings or to meet letter of credit requirements under the Credit Agreement. If there had been borrowings under this facility, the applicable interest rate at June 30, 2010 would have been 4.75 % per year.

Based on the current credit ratings of the Credit Agreement, the applicable margin for Eurodollar-rate loans is 2.50%, the applicable margin for base-rate loans is 1.50%, the letter of credit fee for financial letters of credit is 2.50%, the letter of credit fee for performance letters of credit is 1.25%, and the commitment fee for unused portions of the Credit Agreement is 0.375%. The Credit Agreement does not have a floor for the base rate or the Eurodollar rate.

At June 30, 2010, Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc., a subsidiary of BWXT, had $3.5 million in letters of credit issued by various commercial banks on its behalf. The obligations to the commercial banks issuing such letters of credit are secured by cash, short-term certificates of deposit and certain real and intangible assets.

Certain foreign subsidiaries of Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group, Inc. (“B&W PGG”) have credit arrangements with various commercial banks for the issuance of bank guarantees. The aggregate value of all such bank guarantees as of June 30, 2010 was $15.0 million.

MII, B&W PGG and Babcock & Wilcox Holdings, Inc. jointly executed general agreements of indemnity in favor of surety underwriters relating to surety bonds those underwriters issued in support of our Power Generation Systems segment contracting activity. As of June 30, 2010, bonds issued under these arrangements in support of contracts totaled approximately $106.4 million. Any claim successfully asserted against such surety by one or more of the bond obligees would likely be recoverable from MII, B&W PGG and Babcock & Wilcox Holdings, Inc. under the indemnity agreement.

Other

In aggregate, our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents and investments decreased by $226.1 million to $332.2 million at June 30, 2010 from $558.3 million at December 31, 2009, primarily due to a $100 million cash dividend paid to MII in connection with the spin-off, cash used in operating activities, capital expenditures and business acquisitions.

Our working capital, excluding cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents, increased by $262.3 million to a negative $150.9 million at June 30, 2010 from a negative $413.2 million at December 31, 2009, primarily due to the increase in the net amount of contracts in progress and advance billings on contracts and the settlement of intercompany payables with MII and its subsidiaries.

Our net cash used in operations was $56.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $164.2 million of cash provided for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This increase in cash used was primarily attributable to our net contracts in progress and advance billings on contracts position.

Our net cash used in investing activities decreased by $3.1 million to $18.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $21.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to acquisitions in the current period, offset by a decrease in restricted cash and cash received from the settlement of a note receivable in 2010.

Our net cash used in financing activities increased by $144.8 million to $152.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $8.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009. This increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to dividends paid in connection with the spin-off transaction and repayment of an intercompany loan in 2010.

At June 30, 2010, we had restricted cash and cash equivalents totaling $19.2 million, $8.7 of which was held in restricted foreign accounts, $3.5 million of which was held as cash collateral for letters of credit, $4.0 million of which was held for future decommissioning of facilities, $2.9 million of which was held in other restricted accounts and $0.1 million was held to meet reinsurance reserve requirements of our captive insurer.

At June 30, 2010, we had investments with a fair value of $72.6 million. Our investment portfolio consists primarily of investments in government obligations and other highly liquid money market instruments.

Our investments are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a component of other comprehensive loss. Our net unrealized gain (loss) on investments was in an unrealized loss position totaling $0.2 million at June 30, 2010. At December 31, 2009, we had unrealized losses on our investments totaling $0.4 million.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our exposures to market risks have not changed materially from those disclosed in the Form 10.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) adopted by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Our disclosure controls and procedures were developed through a process in which our management applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding the control objectives. You should note that the design of any system of disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon various assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and we cannot assure you that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Based on the evaluation referred to above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2010 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

For the avoidance of doubt: (A) Liabilities that are B&W Liabilities pursuant to the definition set forth in clause (ix) of the immediately preceding sentence shall not be excluded from the definition of B&W Liabilities simply because such B&W Liabilities are attributable to, relate to, arose out of or resulted from operations or Assets no longer owned by MII, B&W or their respective Subsidiaries as of the Distribution Time (e.g., previously sold, disposed or lost operations or Assets); (B) the designation in this Agreement of any Liability as a B&W Liability shall be binding on the B&W Group, notwithstanding that such Liability may arise out of, directly or indirectly, the negligence, strict liability or other legal fault of any one or more members of the MII Group; and (C) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or an

Ancillary Agreement, the designation in this Agreement of Liabilities as B&W Liabilities or MII Liabilities is only for purposes of allocating responsibility for such Liabilities as between the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and shall not affect any obligations to, or give rise to any rights of, any third parties.

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 2.3 shall be construed as (i) a warranty or representation as to the validity or scope of the B&W Intellectual Property; (ii) a warranty or representation that the B&W Business does not or will not infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party; (iii) a warranty or representation that the B&W Intellectual Property constitutes all intellectual property the B&W Group may need for the conduct of the B&W Business; (iv) an agreement to defend any member of the B&W Group against actions or suits of any nature brought by any third parties regarding the B&W Intellectual Property or the intellectual property rights of such third party; (v) a warranty or representation as to the validity or scope of the MII Intellectual Property; (vi) a warranty or representation that the MII Business does not or will not infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party; (vii) a warranty or representation that the MII Intellectual Property constitutes all intellectual property the MII Group may need for the conduct of the MII Business; or (viii) an agreement to defend any member of the MII Group against actions or suits of any nature brought by any third parties regarding the MII Intellectual Property or the intellectual property rights of such third party.

Section 2.4 Instruments of Transfer and Assumption . MII and B&W agree that (a) transfers of Assets required to be transferred by this Agreement shall be effected by delivery by the transferring entity to the transferee of (i) with respect to those Assets that constitute stock, certificates endorsed in blank or evidenced or accompanied by stock powers or other instruments of transfer endorsed in blank, against receipt, (ii) with respect to any real property interest or any improvements thereon, a general warranty deed with general warranty of limited application limiting recourse and remedies to title insurance and warranties by predecessors in title and (iii) with respect to all other Assets, such good and sufficient instruments of contribution, conveyance, assignment and transfer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to MII and

B&W, as shall be necessary, in each case, to vest in the designated transferee all of the title and ownership interest of the transferor in and to any such Asset, and (b) to the extent necessary, the assumption of the Liabilities contemplated pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be effected by delivery by the transferee to the transferor of such good and sufficient instruments of assumption, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to MII and B&W, as shall be necessary for the assumption by the transferee of such Liabilities. MII and B&W agree that, to the extent that the documents described in clause (a)(i), (ii) and (iii) and clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence have not previously been delivered in connection with any Prior Transfers, the documents relating to such Prior Transfers shall be delivered by the appropriate Party or Subsidiary thereof. Each Party also agrees to deliver to the other Party such other documents, instruments and writings as may be reasonably requested by the other Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or by Prior Transfers.

Section 2.5 No Representations or Warranties . Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or in an Ancillary Agreement, B&W and MII understand and agree that no member of the MII Group is making any representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, to B&W or any member of the B&W Group in any way as to the B&W Business, the B&W Assets, the B&W Liabilities or the MII Intellectual Property licensed to B&W and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.3(b); and, no member of the B&W Group is making any representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, to MII or any member of the MII Group in any way as to the MII Business, the MII Assets, the MII Liabilities or the B&W Intellectual Property licensed to MII and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.3(b). WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING (x) THE TRANSFERS, LICENSES AND ASSUMPTIONS REFERRED TO IN THIS ARTICLE II (INCLUDING PRIOR TRANSFERS) HAVE BEEN, OR WILL BE, MADE WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY NATURE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AT COMMON LAW, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, RELATING TO (A) THE VALUE OR FREEDOM FROM ENCUMBRANCE OF, ANY ASSETS, (B) THE CONDITION OR SUFFICIENCY OF ANY ASSETS (INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MARKETABILITY, TITLE, VALUE, FREEDOM FROM ENCUMBRANCE OR OF CONFORMITY TO MODELS OR SAMPLES OF MATERIALS, OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IN OR ON, OR DISPOSED OR DISCHARGED FROM, SUCH ASSETS), (C) THE NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY PATENT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT OF ANY THIRD PARTY, (D) ANY OTHER MATTER CONCERNING ANY ASSETS OR (E) AS TO THE LEGAL SUFFICIENCY TO CONVEY TITLE TO ANY ASSETS, and (y) the instruments of transfer or assumption referred to in this Article II shall not include any representations and warranties other than as specifically provided herein. MII and B&W hereby acknowledge and agree that ALL ASSETS TRANSFERRED OR LICENSED PURSUANT TO THIS ARTICLE II AND ALL ASSETS INCLUDED IN PRIOR TRANSFERS ARE BEING OR WERE TRANSFERRED “AS IS, WHERE IS.” To the extent that the instruments of transfer and assumption with respect to any Prior Transfers are inconsistent with this Section 2.5, the B&W Group and the MII Group agree that the inconsistent provisions of such instruments are hereby amended and superseded by the provisions of this Section 2.5. To the extent reasonably requested by a member of either Group, each Party will, or will cause its Subsidiaries to, execute any documents necessary to evidence such amendment.

Section 2.6 Agreements . Prior to the Distribution Time, MII and B&W shall execute and deliver (or shall cause their appropriate Subsidiaries to execute and deliver, as applicable) the agreements between them designated as follows:

(i) the Omnibus Restructuring,

(ii) the MII Transition Services Agreement,

(iii) the B&W Transition Services Agreement,

(iv) the SAP-HCM Transition Services Agreement,

(v) the Hyperion Transition Services Agreement,

(vi) the Quantum Transition Services Agreement,

(vii) the Employee Matters Agreement,

(viii) the Tax Sharing Agreement,

(ix) the Assumption and Loss Allocation Agreement,

(x) the Captive Insurance Novation and Assumption Agreements, and

(xi) such other written agreements, documents or instruments as the Parties may agree are necessary or desirable and which specifically state that they are Ancillary Agreements within the meaning of this Agreement

(collectively, the “Ancillary Agreements”).

Section 2.7 Transfers Not Effected Prior to the Distribution Time . To the extent that any transfers contemplated by this Article II shall not have been consummated as of the Distribution Time, the Parties shall cooperate to effect such transfers as promptly following the Distribution Time as shall be practicable. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the transfer of any Assets or the assumption of any Liabilities that by their terms or operation of Law cannot be transferred or assumed; provided, that the B&W Group and the MII Group shall cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary consents or approvals for the transfer of all Assets and the assumption of all Liabilities contemplated to be transferred or assumed pursuant to this Article II and shall, even in the absence of necessary consents or approvals, transfer the equitable ownership of Assets when such a transfer is permitted. In the event that any such transfer of Assets or assumption of Liabilities has not been consummated effective as of the Distribution Time (or such earlier time as any such Asset may have been acquired or Liability assumed), the Party retaining such Asset or Liability shall thereafter hold such Asset in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto (at the expense of the Party entitled thereto) and retain such Liability for the account of the Party by whom such Liability is to be assumed pursuant hereto, and take such other action as may be reasonably requested by the Party to which such Asset is to be transferred, or by whom such Liability is to be assumed, as the case may be, in order to place such Party, insofar as reasonably

possible, in the same position as would have existed had such Asset or Liability been transferred or assumed as contemplated hereby. Without limiting any other duty of a Party holding any Asset in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto, such Party shall take all reasonable actions that it deems necessary to preserve the value of that Asset. As and when any such Asset becomes transferable or such Liability can be assumed, such transfer or assumption shall be effected forthwith, without the payment of any further consideration therefor. Subject to the foregoing, the Parties agree that, as of the Distribution Time (or such earlier time as any such Asset may have been acquired or Liability assumed), each Party shall be deemed to have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership over all of the Assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incident thereto, and shall be deemed to have assumed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all of the Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto, which such Party is entitled to acquire or required to assume pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(iv) any Liability that such Person may have pursuant to the Non-Debtor Affiliate Settlement Agreement, dated as of February 21, 2006, to which MII and various members of the B&W Group are parties; or

(v) any Liability the release of which would result in the release of any Person other than an Indemnitee; provided that the Parties agree not to bring suit or permit any of their Subsidiaries to bring suit against any Indemnitee with respect to such Liability.

(d) B&W shall not make, and shall not permit any member of the B&W Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or indemnification, against MII or any member of the MII Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 3.1(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 3.1(a).

(e) It is the intent of each of MII and B&W by virtue of the provisions of this Section 3.1 to provide for a full and complete release and discharge of all Liabilities existing or arising from all acts and events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur and all conditions existing or alleged to have existed at or before the Distribution Time, between or among B&W or any member of the B&W Group, on the one hand, and MII or any member of the MII Group, on the other hand (including any contractual agreements or arrangements existing or alleged to exist between or among any such members at or before the Distribution Time), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.1(c). At any time, at the reasonable request of the other Party, each Party shall cause each member of its respective Group to execute and deliver releases reflecting the provisions hereof.

Section 3.2 Termination of Intercompany Agreements . Without limiting the generality of Section 3.1(e) and subject to the provisions of Section 3.1(c), each of the Parties agrees that, except for this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (including any amounts owed with respect to such agreements), all Intercompany Agreements and all other intercompany arrangements and course of dealings, whether or not in writing and whether or not binding or in effect immediately prior to the Distribution Time, shall terminate immediately prior to the Distribution Time unless the Parties thereto otherwise agree in writing after the date of this Agreement.

Section 3.3 Indemnification by B&W . Except as provided in Sections 3.5 and 3.6, B&W shall, and in the case of clauses (a), (b) and (c) below shall in addition cause the Appropriate Member of the B&W Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless MII, each member of the MII Group and their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, and all stockholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the MII Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns (collectively, the “MII Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses of the MII Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following (without duplication):

(a) the failure of B&W or any other member of the B&W Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any B&W Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms, whether prior to, at or after the Distribution Time;

(b) any B&W Liability;

(c) any breach by B&W or any member of the B&W Group of any provision of this Agreement or of any of the Ancillary Agreements, subject (in the case of each of the Ancillary Agreements) to any limitations of liability provisions and other provisions applicable to any such breach set forth therein; and

(d) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to all Information contained in the Registration Statement or the Information Statement (other than Information regarding MII provided by MII in writing to B&W expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Information Statement);

in each case, regardless of when or where the loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening giving rise to the Loss took place, or whether any such loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening is known or unknown, or reported or unreported and regardless of whether such loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening giving rise to the Loss existed prior to, on or after the Distribution Date or relates to, arises out of or results from actions, inactions, events, omissions, conditions, facts or circumstances occurring or existing prior to, on or after the Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of clause (d) of the first sentence of this Section 3.3 and clause (d) of the first sentence of Section 3.4, the only information provided by MII in writing to B&W expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Information Statement is the information appearing under the caption “The Spin-Off—Reasons for the Spin-Off” in the Information Statement included in the Registration Statement, as amended through the date of this Agreement. As used in this Section 3.3, “Appropriate Member of the B&W Group” means the member or members of the B&W Group, if any, whose acts, conduct or omissions or failures to act caused, gave rise to or resulted in the Loss from and against which indemnity is provided. In support of its indemnification obligations related to third-party casualty claims, B&W shall maintain throughout the existence of its indemnity obligations hereunder commercial general liability insurance in an amount not less than $350 million with responsible and reputable insurers and shall cause the MII Indemnities to be named thereon as additional insureds to the extent of the insured contractual indemnity obligations expressly assumed or undertaken by B&W under this Agreement.

Section 3.4 Indemnification by MII . Except as provided in Sections 3.5 and 3.6, MII shall, and in case of clauses (a), (b) and (c) below shall in addition cause the Appropriate Member of the MII Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless B&W, each member of the B&W Group and their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, and all stockholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the B&W Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns (collectively, the “B&W Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses of the B&W Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following (without duplication):

(a) the failure of MII or any other member of the MII Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any MII Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms, whether prior to, at or after the Distribution Time;

(b) any MII Liability;

(c) any breach by MII or any member of the MII Group of any provision of this Agreement or of any of the Ancillary Agreements, subject (in the case of each of the Ancillary Agreements) to any limitations of liability provisions and other provisions applicable to any such breach set forth therein; and

(d) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, solely with respect to information regarding MII provided by MII in writing to B&W expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Information Statement;

in each case, regardless of when or where the loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening giving rise to the Loss took place, or whether any such loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening is known or unknown, or reported or unreported and regardless of whether such loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening giving rise to the Loss existed prior to, on or after the Distribution Date or relates to, arises out of or results from actions, inactions, events, omissions, conditions, facts or circumstances occurring or existing prior to, on or after the Distribution Date. As used in this Section 3.4, “Appropriate Member of the MII Group” means the member or members of the MII Group, if any, whose acts, conduct or omissions or failures to act caused, gave rise to or resulted in the Loss from and against which indemnity is provided. In support of its indemnification obligations related to third-party casualty claims, MII shall maintain throughout the existence of its indemnity obligations hereunder commercial general liability insurance in an amount not less than $350 million with responsible and reputable insurers and shall cause the B&W Indemnities to be named thereon as additional insureds to the extent of the insured contractual indemnity obligations expressly assumed or undertaken by MII under this Agreement.

Section 3.5 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds.

(a) The Parties intend that any Loss subject to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Article III (an “Indemnifiable Loss”) will be net of Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Loss. Accordingly, the amount which either Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnitee”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in reduction of the related Loss. If an Indemnitee receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Loss and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds, then the Indemnitee will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payments received over the amount of the Indemnity Payments that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds recovery had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payments were made. The Indemnitee shall use and cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover any proceeds of insurance policies to which the Indemnitee is entitled with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss. The existence of a claim by an Indemnitee for insurance or against a third party in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss shall not, however,

delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained in this Article III and otherwise determined to be due and owing by an Indemnifying Party; rather, the Indemnifying Party shall make payment in full of such amount so determined to be due and owing by it against a concurrent written assignment by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party of the portion of the claim of the Indemnitee for such insurance or against such third party equal to the amount of such payment. The Indemnitee shall use and cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Indemnifying Party in recovering or to recover on behalf of the Indemnifying Party, any Insurance Proceeds to which the Indemnifying Party is entitled with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss as a result of such assignment. The Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its counsel all employees, books and records, communications, documents, items or matters within its knowledge, possession or control that are necessary, appropriate or reasonably deemed relevant by the Indemnifying Party with respect to the recovery of such Insurance Proceeds; provided, however, that subject to Section 6.5 hereof, nothing in this sentence shall be deemed to require a Party to make available books and records, communications, documents or items which (i) in such Party’s Good Faith Judgment could result in a waiver of any Privilege with respect to a third party even if B&W and MII cooperated to protect such Privilege as contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) such Party is not permitted to make available because of any Law or any confidentiality obligation to a third party, in which case such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek a waiver of or other relief from such confidentiality restriction. Unless the Indemnifying Party has made payment in full of any Indemnifiable Loss, such Indemnifying Party shall use and cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover any Insurance Proceeds to which it or such Affiliate is entitled with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss.

(b) An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claims shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or any other third party shall be entitled to a “windfall” (i.e., a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement) by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof.

Section 3.6 Indemnification Obligations Net of Taxes . The Parties intend that any Loss subject to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Article III will be net of Taxes. Accordingly, the amount which an Indemnifying Party is required to pay to an Indemnitee will be adjusted to reflect any tax benefit to the Indemnitee from the underlying Loss and to reflect any Taxes imposed upon the Indemnitee as a result of the receipt of such payment. Such an adjustment will first be made at the time that the indemnity payment is made and will further be made, as appropriate, to take into account any change in the liability of the Indemnitee for Taxes that occurs in connection with the final resolution of an audit by a taxing authority. For purposes of this Section 3.6, the value of any tax benefit to the Indemnitee from the underlying Loss shall be an amount equal to the product of (x) the amount of any present or future deduction allowed or allowable to the Indemnitee by the Code, or other applicable Law, as a result of such Loss and (y) the highest statutory rate applicable under Section 11 of the Code, or other applicable Law. Except with respect to any indemnity payment for Losses relating to a

breach of the Tax Sharing Agreement, which indemnity payments shall be treated in accordance with Section 4.7 of the Tax Sharing Agreement, and to the extent permitted by Law, the Parties will treat any indemnity payment as a capital contribution made by MII to B&W or as a distribution made by B&W to MII, as the case may be, on the date of this Agreement.

Section 3.7 Procedures for Indemnification of Third Party Claims.

(a) If an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the MII Group or the B&W Group of any claims or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (each such claim or Action being a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.4, or any other Section of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnitee shall promptly give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof. Any such notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnitee or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 3.7(a) shall not relieve the applicable Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article III, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party does not dispute its potential liability to the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and to settle or compromise in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 3.7), at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any Third Party Claim. Within 30 days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 3.7(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such Third Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee of its election whether the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for defending such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such notice of election within the 30-day period shall be deemed a rejection of the opportunity to assume responsibility. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such non-defending Person, except that the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnitee (i) for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim (other than during any period in which the Indemnitee shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 3.7(a)) or (ii) to the extent that such engagement of counsel is as a result of a conflict of interest, as reasonably determined in the Good Faith Judgment of the Indemnitee.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.7: (i) MII will have the right to defend or assume the defense of, and/or settle or compromise (or seek to settle or compromise or to reject any proposed settlement or compromise), the Action described on Schedule 1.1(g), any Future B&W Disclosure Claim asserted in whole or in part against any member of the MII Group or any of their respective current or former officers, directors, employees or Affiliates and any claim asserted by a third party which

may give rise to any Liability described in clause (viii) of the definition of B&W Liabilities herein (other than subclause (A) in the proviso thereof); and (ii) MII may settle or compromise such Action or claim without the consent of B&W, if such settlement or compromise provides for a release of the applicable member of the B&W Group to at least the same extent as MII and does not involve any monetary damages (including monetary fines or penalties) to be imposed on B&W or any other member of the B&W Group or injunctive relief to be imposed on B&W or any other member of the B&W Group.

(d) A Party’s defense of any Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 3.7(b) or (c) includes the right (after consultation with the other Party following at least ten Business Days’ written notice thereof) to compromise, settle or consent to the entry of any judgment or determination of liability concerning such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 3.7(c), the Party defending the Third Party Claim shall not compromise, settle or consent to the entry of judgment or determination of liability concerning any Third Party Claim without prior written approval by the other Party (which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if the terms or conditions of such compromise, settlement or consent would, (i) impose injunctive relief on the other Party or any of its Affiliates or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of the other Party (as reflected in a written objection delivered by the other Party to the defending Party within the period of ten Business Days following receipt of the written notice described above in this Section 3.7(d)), have a material adverse financial impact or a material adverse effect upon the ongoing operations of such other Party (taken together with its Subsidiaries). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.7, unless otherwise specifically agreed to by the Parties in writing (which agreement may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), neither Party shall enter into any compromise or settlement or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the third party of a release of both the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party from all further liability concerning such Third Party Claim.

(e) If the Party having the right to elect to defend a particular Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 3.7(b) elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to defend a particular Third Party Claim, the other Party may defend such Third Party Claim without any prejudice to its rights to indemnification from the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article III. In such case, such other Party shall have the right to compromise, settle or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim as provided in Section 3.7(d) without the consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(f) The Indemnifying Party shall bear all costs and expenses of defending any Third Party Claim; provided, however, that (A) if both Parties may be Indemnifying Parties with respect to such Third Party Claim but only one Party is defending such Third Party Claim, the non-defending Party shall reimburse the defending Party promptly upon demand by the defending Party for the non-defending Party’s proportionate share, allocated based on each Party’s proportionate responsibility for the Indemnifiable Loss pursuant to this Agreement, of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the defending Party’s defense of such Third Party Claim, and (B) if

both Parties may be Indemnifying Parties with respect to such Third Party Claim and both Parties are defending such Third Party Claim, the Parties shall effect such reimbursements necessary so that each Party bears its proportionate share, allocated based on each Party’s proportionate responsibility for the Indemnifiable Loss pursuant to this Agreement, of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(g) The non-defending or co-defending Party shall make available to the other Party and its counsel all employees, books and records, communications, documents, items or matters within its knowledge, possession or control that are necessary, appropriate or reasonably deemed relevant by the other Party with respect to such defense; provided, however, that subject to Section 6.5 hereof, nothing in this Section 3.7(g) shall be deemed to require a Party to make available books and records, communications, documents or items which (i) in such Party’s Good Faith Judgment could result in a waiver of any Privilege with respect to a third party even if B&W and MII cooperated to protect such Privilege as contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) such Party is not permitted to make available because of any Law or any confidentiality obligation to a third party, in which case such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek a waiver of or other relief from such confidentiality restriction.

(h) With respect to any Third Party Claim in which both Parties are, or reasonably may be expected to be, named as parties, or that otherwise implicates both Parties to a material degree, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with respect to such Third Party Claim and maintain a joint defense in a manner that will preserve applicable Privileges.

(i) Upon final judgment, determination, settlement or compromise of any Third Party Claim, and unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, the Indemnifying Party shall pay promptly on behalf of the Indemnitee, or to the Indemnitee in reimbursement of any amount theretofore required to be paid by it, all amounts required to be paid by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article III with respect to such claim as determined by such final judgment, determination, settlement or compromise.

Section 3.8 Additional Matters.

(a) Any claim on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party. Any such notice shall describe the claim in reasonable detail. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of 30 days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to make payment. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such Party as contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(b) In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee in respect of any rights, defenses or claims of such Indemnitee relating to such Third Party Claim. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party as may reasonably be required in connection with the prosecution of any subrogated right, defense or claim, and its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party.

(c) In the event of an Action involving a Third Party Claim in which the Indemnitee is a named defendant, if either the Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party shall so request, the Parties shall endeavor to cause the Indemnitee not to remain a named defendant, if reasonably practicable.

(d) Except as expressly provided herein, the indemnity obligations under this Article III shall apply notwithstanding any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee and shall apply without regard to whether the Loss for which indemnity is claimed hereunder is based on strict liability, absolute liability or any other theory of liability or arises as an obligation for contribution.

(e) THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE RELEASE FROM LIABILITIES AND INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER AND UNDER THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS MAY INCLUDE RELEASE FROM LIABILITIES AND INDEMNIFICATION FOR LOSSES RESULTING FROM, OR ARISING OUT OF, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY AND IN WHOLE OR IN PART, AN INDEMNITEE’S OWN NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL FAULT.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge and agree that indemnification for Losses (including Taxes) incurred as a result of any breach of the Tax Sharing Agreement shall be governed by this Article III.

Section 3.9 Contribution . If the indemnification provided for in this Article III is unavailable to an Indemnitee in respect of any Losses for which indemnification is provided for herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, shall contribute to the Losses paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Indemnifiable Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of B&W and each other member of the B&W Group, on the one hand, and MII and each other member of the MII Group, on the other hand, in connection with the circumstances which resulted in such Indemnifiable Loss. For purposes of this Section 3.9, with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss relating to matters covered by Section 3.3(d) or 3.4(d) or otherwise relating to misstatements or omissions under securities or antifraud Laws, the relative fault of a member of the B&W Group, on the one hand, and of a member of the MII Group, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact (i) relates to a member of the B&W Group or a member of the MII Group and (ii) relates to information that was supplied by a member of the B&W Group or a member of the MII Group.

Section 3.10 Remedies Cumulative . The remedies provided in this Article III shall be cumulative and, subject to the provisions of Article V, shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

Section 3.11 Survival of Indemnities . The rights and obligations of each of MII and B&W and their respective Indemnitees under this Article III shall survive the Distribution Date indefinitely, unless a specific survival or other applicable period is expressly set forth herein, and shall survive the sale or other transfer by any Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

Section 3.12 Limitation of Liability . EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY MEMBER OF THE MII GROUP OR THE B&W GROUP OR THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER MEMBER OF THE MII GROUP OR THE B&W GROUP FOR ANY EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, REMOTE OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING IN RESPECT OF LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL NOT LIMIT EACH PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS FOR LIABILITIES TO THIRD PARTIES AS SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE III OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT.

ARTICLE IV

THE DISTRIBUTION

Section 4.1 Delivery to Distribution Agent . Subject to Section 4.3, on or prior to the Distribution Date MII will authorize Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as distribution agent (the “Distribution Agent”), for the benefit of holders of record of MII Common Stock at the close of business on the Record Date (the “Record Holders”) to effect the book-entry transfer of all outstanding shares of B&W Common Stock and will order the Distribution Agent to effect the Distribution at the Distribution Time in the manner set forth in Section 4.2.

Section 4.2 Mechanics of the Distribution.

(a) On the Distribution Date, MII will direct the Distribution Agent to distribute, effective as of the Distribution Time, to each Record Holder a number of shares of B&W Common Stock equal to the number of shares of MII Common Stock held by such Record Holder multiplied by the Distribution Multiple, except that the Distribution Agent will not issue any fractional shares of B&W Common Stock and will distribute cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 4.2(b). All such shares of B&W Common Stock to be so distributed shall be distributed as uncertificated shares registered in book-entry form through the direct registration system. No certificates therefor shall be distributed. MII shall cause the Distribution Agent to deliver an account

statement to each holder of B&W Common Stock reflecting such holder’s ownership thereof. All of the shares of B&W Common Stock distributed in the Distribution will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(b) MII will direct the Distribution Agent to determine, as soon as is practicable after the Distribution Date, the number of fractional shares, if any, of B&W Common Stock allocable to each Record Holder entitled to receive B&W Common Stock in the Distribution and to promptly aggregate all the fractional shares and sell the whole shares obtained thereby, in open market transactions or otherwise, at the then-prevailing trading prices, and to cause to be distributed to each Record Holder, in lieu of any fractional share, each Record Holder’s ratable share of the proceeds of the sale, after making appropriate deductions of the amounts required to be withheld for federal income tax purposes and after deducting an amount equal to all brokerage charges, commissions and transfer taxes attributed to the sale.

(c) Any B&W Common Stock or cash in lieu of fractional shares with respect to B&W Common Stock that remains unclaimed by any Record Holder on the first anniversary of the Distribution Date will be delivered to B&W. B&W will hold the B&W Common Stock or cash for the account of the Record Holder and any Record Holder will look only to B&W for the B&W Common Stock or cash, if any, in lieu of fractional shares, subject in each case to applicable escheat or other abandoned property Laws.

(d) B&W shall mail or cause to be mailed to the Record Holders, on or prior to the Distribution Date, the Information Statement.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2, the rights of holders of restricted stock of MII shall be as provided in the Employee Matters Agreement.

Section 4.3 Conditions Precedent to Consummation of the Separation and the Distribution . Neither the Separation, the Distribution nor the related transactions set forth in this Agreement or in any of the Ancillary Agreements will become effective unless the following conditions have been satisfied or waived by MII, in its sole and absolute discretion, at or before the Distribution Time:

(a) the private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service dated May 21, 2010 and any supplemental rulings received before the date of this Agreement will continue to be in effect;

(b) MII will have received an opinion from Baker Botts L.L.P. (which opinion will rely upon the effectiveness of the private letter ruling (and any supplemental rulings) referred to in Section 4.3(a)), dated the Distribution Date, in form and substance acceptable to MII substantially to the effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) certain transactions to be effected in connection with the Separation qualify as reorganizations under Sections 355 and/or 368 of the Code or as complete liquidations under Section 332(a) of the Code, and (ii) the Distribution and such transactions will qualify for tax-free treatment to MII and to B&W;

(d) the Registration Statement will have become effective, and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall be in effect or, to the knowledge of either MII or B&W, threatened by the SEC;

(e) the actions and filings necessary or appropriate under applicable federal or state securities Laws and state blue sky Laws in connection with the Distribution will have been taken;

(f) the NYSE will have approved B&W’s Common Stock for listing, subject to official notice of issuance;

(g) the Ancillary Agreements will have been executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto and no party to any of the Ancillary Agreements will be in material breach of any Ancillary Agreement;

(h) all Consents required to be received or made before the Distribution may take place will have been received or made and be in full force and effect, and this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements will not have been terminated and will not violate, conflict with or result in a breach (with or without the passage of time) of any Law or any material agreements of MII; and

(i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree, or ruling issued by a Governmental Authority, and no statute (as interpreted through orders or rules of any Governmental Authority duly authorized to effectuate the statute), rule, regulation or executive order promulgated or enacted by any Governmental Authority will be in effect preventing, or materially limiting the benefits of, the Separation or the Distribution.

Each of the conditions set forth in this Section 4.3 is for the benefit of MII, and MII may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine whether to waive any condition, in whole or in part. Any determination made by MII concerning the satisfaction or waiver of any or all of the conditions in this Section 4.3 will be conclusive and binding on the Parties. The satisfaction of those conditions will not create any obligation on the part of MII to B&W or any other Person to effect the Separation or the Distribution or in any way limit MII’s right to terminate as set forth in Section 7.2 or alter the consequences of any termination from those specified in Section 7.2.

ARTICLE V

ARBITRATION; DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 5.1 General. Except as otherwise specifically provided in any Ancillary Agreement, the procedures for negotiation and binding arbitration set forth in this Article V shall apply to any dispute, controversy or claim (whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise) that arises out of or relates to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, any breach or alleged breach hereof or thereof, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including all actions taken in furtherance of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby on or prior to the date

hereof), or the construction, interpretation, enforceability or validity hereof or thereof (a “Dispute”). Each Party agrees on behalf of itself and each member of its respective Group that the procedures set forth in this Article V shall be the sole and exclusive remedy in connection with any Dispute and irrevocably waives any right to commence any Action in or before any Governmental Authority, except (i) as expressly provided in Section 5.7(b), (ii) as provided for under the Arbitration Act, and (iii) as required by applicable Law. Each Party on behalf of itself and each member of its respective Group irrevocably waives any right to any trial by jury and any right to any trial in a court with respect to any Dispute to which this Section 5.1 applies. As used in the following provisions of this Article V, any reference to “party” or “parties” shall mean and refer to a party or parties involved in a Dispute.

Section 5.2 Negotiation.

(a) It is the intent of the Parties to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to resolve expeditiously any Dispute that may arise on a mutually acceptable negotiated basis. In furtherance of the foregoing, any party involved in a Dispute may deliver a notice (an “Escalation Notice”) demanding an in-person meeting involving representatives of the parties at a senior level of management of the parties (or if the parties agree, of the appropriate strategic business unit or division within such entity). A copy of any such Escalation Notice shall be given to the General Counsel, or, if one does not exist, the President or Chief Executive Officer, of each party involved in the Dispute (which copy shall state that it is an Escalation Notice pursuant to this Agreement). Any agenda, location or procedures for such discussions or negotiations between the parties may be established by the parties from time to time; provided, however, that the parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to meet within 20 days of the Escalation Notice. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.3(a), during the period from the date hereof through the first anniversary of the Distribution Date, in the event the parties involved in a Dispute do not resolve the Dispute in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2(a) within 60 days after the delivery of the Escalation Notice with respect to such Dispute, the Dispute shall be referred to the Board of Directors of each of MII and B&W, which shall each be requested to select a subcommittee thereof to meet to resolve the Dispute within 45 days of such referral, and no party involved in a Dispute may deliver an Arbitration Demand Notice pursuant to Section 5.3(a) until after such 45-day period has elapsed. Any resolution of a Dispute pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be memorialized in a writing signed by both parties.

(b) The parties may, by mutual consent, select a mediator to aid the parties in their discussions and negotiations. Any opinion expressed by the mediator shall be strictly advisory and shall not be binding on the parties, nor shall any opinion expressed by the mediator be admissible in any arbitration proceedings. Costs of any mediation shall be borne equally by the parties involved in the Dispute, except that each Party shall be responsible for its own expenses. Mediation is not a prerequisite to a demand for arbitration under Section 5.3.

Section 5.3 Demand for Arbitration.

(a) Any Dispute that has not been resolved after the delivery of the related Escalation Notice, and as to which an Arbitration Notice is provided in accordance with the immediately following sentence, shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration pursuant to the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), except as modified by the provisions of this Article V. At any time after 30 days from the delivery of an Escalation Notice, any party involved in the related Dispute (regardless of whether such party delivered the Escalation Notice) may deliver a notice demanding arbitration of such Dispute (an “Arbitration Demand Notice”). In the event that any party shall deliver an Arbitration Demand Notice to another party, such other party may itself deliver an Arbitration Demand Notice to such first party with respect to any related Dispute with respect to which the Applicable Deadline has not passed without the requirement of delivering an Escalation Notice. No party may assert that the failure to resolve any matter during any discussions or negotiations, the course of conduct during the discussions or negotiations or the failure to agree on a mutually acceptable time, agenda, location or procedures for the meeting, in each case, as contemplated by Section 5.2, is a prerequisite to a demand for arbitration under this Section 5.3. In the event that any party delivers an Arbitration Demand Notice with respect to any Dispute that is the subject of any then pending arbitration proceeding or of a previously delivered Arbitration Demand Notice, all such Disputes shall be resolved in the arbitration proceeding for which an Arbitration Demand Notice was first delivered unless the arbitrators in their sole discretion determine that it is impracticable or otherwise inadvisable to do so.

(b) Except as may be expressly provided in any Ancillary Agreement, any Arbitration Demand Notice may be given until one year after the later of the occurrence of the act or event giving rise to the underlying claim or the date on which such act or event was, or should have been, in the exercise of reasonable due diligence, discovered by the party asserting the claim (as applicable and as it may in a particular case be specifically extended by the parties in writing, the “Applicable Deadline”). In the case of a Third Party Claim, the Applicable Deadline shall be one year after the date on which the MII Group or the B&W Group, as the case may be, receives notice or otherwise learns of the assertion of the claim against it. Any discussions, negotiations or mediations between the Parties pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise will not toll the Applicable Deadline unless expressly agreed in writing by the Parties. Each of the Parties agrees on behalf of itself and each member of its Group that if an Arbitration Demand Notice with respect to a Dispute is not given prior to the expiration of the Applicable Deadline, as between or among the Parties and the members of their Groups, such Dispute will be barred, and any right to bring any Action with respect to, or otherwise to pursue, any such barred Dispute is hereby irrevocably waived. Subject to Section 5.8, upon delivery of an Arbitration Demand Notice pursuant to Section 5.3(a) prior to the Applicable Deadline, the Dispute shall be decided by arbitrators in accordance with the rules set forth in this Article V. This Section 5.3(b) shall not be deemed to extend any notice period set forth in Section 3.7.

Section 5.4 Arbitrators.

(a) The party delivering the Arbitration Demand Notice shall, within five days of the date of such notice, notify the AAA and the other parties in writing describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Dispute. The arbitration shall be conducted before three neutral arbitrators. Each party shall, within 20 days of the date of the Arbitration Demand Notice, select one arbitrator. The parties shall mutually agree upon a third arbitrator. If the third arbitrator is not selected within 30 days of the date of the Arbitration Demand Notice, the two arbitrators already selected shall select the third arbitrator. In the event that any arbitrator is or becomes unable to serve, his or her replacement will be selected in the same manner described above. The extent, if any, to which testimony previously given shall be repeated or as to which any replacement arbitrator elects to rely on the stenographic record (if there is one) of such testimony shall be determined by the arbitrators. The vote of two of the three arbitrators shall be required for any decision under this Article V.

(b) The arbitrators will set a time for the hearing of the matter, which will commence no later than 180 days (or the soonest Business Day thereafter) after the date of appointment of the third arbitrator pursuant to Section 5.4(a) above, and which hearing will be no longer than 15 days (unless in the judgment of the arbitrators the matter is unusually complex and sophisticated and thereby requires a longer time, in which event such hearing shall be no longer than 20 days). The arbitrators shall use their best efforts to reach a final decision and render the same in writing to the parties not later than 60 days after the last hearing date, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. Failure of the arbitrators to do so, however, shall not be a basis for challenging the decision. An arbitrator dissenting from a decision or portion thereof may issue a dissent from the decision or portion thereof in writing, stating the reasons therefor.

Section 5.5 Hearings . Within the time period specified in Section 5.4(b), the matter shall be presented to the arbitrators at a hearing by means of written submissions of memoranda and verified witness statements, filed simultaneously, and responses, if necessary in the judgment of the arbitrators or both the Parties. Live direct and cross-examination will be permitted upon request of any party. The arbitrators shall actively manage the arbitration with a view to achieving a just, speedy and cost-effective resolution of the Dispute. The arbitrators may, in their discretion, set time and other limits on the presentation of each party’s case, its memoranda or other submissions, and refuse to receive any proffered evidence, which the arbitrators, in their discretion, find to be cumulative, unnecessary, irrelevant or of low probative nature. The decision of the arbitrators will be final and binding on the parties, and judgment thereon may be had and will be enforceable in any court having jurisdiction over the parties. Arbitration awards will bear interest at an annual rate of the Prime Rate plus 2% per annum, subject to any maximum amount permitted by applicable Law. To the extent that the provisions of this Agreement and the AAA Rules conflict, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

Section 5.6 Discovery and Certain Other Matters.

(a) Any party involved in a Dispute subject to this Article V may request limited document production from the other party or parties of specific and expressly relevant documents. Any such discovery shall be conducted expeditiously and shall not cause the hearing provided for in Section 5.5 to be adjourned except upon consent of all parties involved in the applicable Dispute or upon an extraordinary showing of cause demonstrating that such adjournment is necessary to permit discovery essential to a party to the proceeding. Interrogatories or other forms of discovery (other than the document production and depositions set forth above) shall not occur except by consent of the parties involved in the applicable Dispute. Disputes concerning the scope of document production or depositions and enforcement of the document production or deposition requests will be determined by written agreement of the parties involved in the applicable Dispute or, failing such agreement, will be referred to the arbitrators for resolution. All discovery requests will be subject to the parties’ rights (and the rights of any witness) to claim any applicable Privilege. The arbitrators will adopt procedures to protect the proprietary rights of the parties and to maintain the confidential treatment of the arbitration proceedings (except as may be required by Law).

(b) The arbitrators shall have full power and authority to determine issues of arbitrability but shall otherwise be limited to interpreting or construing the applicable provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and will have no authority or power to limit, expand, alter, amend, modify, revoke or suspend any condition or provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; it being understood, however, that the arbitrators will have full authority to implement the provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and to fashion appropriate remedies for breaches of this Agreement; provided that the arbitrators shall not have (i) any authority in excess of the authority a court having jurisdiction over the parties and the Dispute would have absent these arbitration provisions or (ii) any right or power to award exemplary, punitive, special, indirect, consequential, remote or speculative damages (including in respect of lost profits or revenues) or treble damages (provided that this clause (ii) shall not limit the award of any such damages to the extent they are included in any Liabilities to third parties as to which the provisions of this Article V are applicable). It is the intention of the Parties that in rendering a decision the arbitrators should give effect to the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and follow applicable Law (it being understood and agreed that this sentence shall not give rise to a right of judicial review of the arbitrators’ award).

(c) If a party fails or refuses to appear at and participate in an arbitration hearing after due notice, the arbitrators may hear and determine the controversy upon evidence produced by the appearing party. Any decision rendered under such circumstances shall be as valid and enforceable as if the parties had appeared and participated fully at all stages.

(d) Without limiting the generality of Section 6.6, each party shall bear its own expenses in connection with any arbitration under this Article V; provided, that the parties shall share equally the fees and expenses of the third arbitrator.

Section 5.7 Certain Additional Matters.

(a) Any arbitration award shall be an award with a holding in favor of or against a party and shall include findings as to facts, issues or conclusions of law (including with respect to any matters relating to the validity or infringement of patents or patent applications) and shall include a statement of the reasoning on which the award rests. The award must also be in adequate form so that a judgment of a court may be entered thereupon. Judgment upon any arbitration award hereunder may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any award shall not be vacated or appealed except on the bases of (i) the award being procured by fraud or corruption, (ii) an arbitrator being partial or corrupt, (iii) the arbitrators wrongfully refusing to postpone a hearing or hear evidence, or (iv) the arbitrators exceeding the scope of the power granted to them in this Agreement.

(b) Regardless of whether an Escalation Notice has been delivered, at any time prior to the time at which arbitrators are appointed pursuant to Section 5.4, any party may seek one or more temporary restraining orders or other injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction if necessary in order to preserve and protect the status quo. Neither the request for, nor the grant or denial of, any such temporary restraining order or other injunctive relief shall be deemed a waiver of the right or obligation to arbitrate as set forth herein, and the arbitrators may dissolve, continue or modify any such order after their appointment. Any such temporary restraining order or other injunctive relief shall remain in effect until the first to occur of the expiration of the order in accordance with its terms or the dissolution thereof by the arbitrators.

(c) Except as required by applicable Law, the parties shall hold, and shall cause their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and other representatives to hold, the existence, content and result of discussions, negotiations, mediation or arbitration under this Article V in confidence in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.9 and except as may be required in order to enforce any award. Each of the parties shall request that any mediator or arbitrator comply with such confidentiality requirement.

Section 5.8 Continuity of Service and Performance . Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the parties will continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article V with respect to all matters not subject to such Dispute.

Section 5.9 Law Governing Arbitration Procedures . The interpretation of the provisions of this Article V, only insofar as they relate to the agreement to arbitrate and any procedures pursuant thereto, shall be governed by the Arbitration Act and other applicable U.S. federal Law. In all other respects, the interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed as set forth in Section 7.10.

ARTICLE VI

COVENANTS AND OTHER MATTERS

Section 6.1 Other Agreements . In addition to the specific agreements, documents and instruments annexed to this Agreement, MII and B&W agree to execute or cause to be executed by the appropriate parties and deliver, as appropriate, such other agreements, instruments and other documents as may be reasonably requested by either Party and necessary or desirable in order to effect the purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 6.2 Further Instruments . Subject to Section 2.5, at the request of B&W or MII and without payment of any further consideration, the other Party will execute and deliver, and will cause its applicable Subsidiaries to execute and deliver, to the requesting Party and its Subsidiaries such other instruments of transfer, conveyance, assignment, substitution and confirmation and take such action as the requesting Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order more effectively to transfer, convey and assign to the requesting Party and its Subsidiaries and confirm the requesting Party’s and its Subsidiaries’ title to all of the Assets, rights and other things of value contemplated to be transferred to the requesting Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, any documents referred to therein and any Prior Transfers, to put the requesting Party and its Subsidiaries in actual possession and operating control thereof and to permit the requesting Party and its Subsidiaries to exercise all rights with respect thereto (including rights under Contracts and other arrangements as to which the consent of any third party to the transfer thereof shall not have previously been obtained). At the request of B&W or MII and without payment of any further consideration, the other Party will execute and deliver, and will cause its applicable Subsidiaries to execute and deliver, to the requesting Party and its Subsidiaries all instruments, assumptions, novations, undertakings, substitutions or other documents and take such other action as the requesting Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to have the other Party fully and unconditionally assume and discharge the Liabilities contemplated to be assumed by such Party under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, any document in connection herewith or the Prior Transfers and to relieve the B&W Group or the MII Group, as applicable, of any Liability or obligation with respect thereto and evidence the same to third parties. Neither MII nor B&W shall be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend money other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees. Furthermore, each Party, at the request of another Party, shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do and perform such other acts and things as may be necessary or desirable for effecting completely the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Prior Transfers.

Section 6.3 Provision of Books and Records . Subject to the provisions of this Section 6.3, MII shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver or make available or cause to be delivered or made available to B&W all B&W Books and Records in the possession of the MII Group, and B&W shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver or make available or cause to be delivered or made available to MII all MII Books and Records in the possession of the B&W Group. The foregoing shall be limited by, or subject to, the following:

(a) To the extent any document can be subdivided without unreasonable effort or cost into two portions, one of which constitutes a B&W Book and Record and the

other of which constitutes a MII Book and Record, such document shall be so subdivided and the appropriate portions shall be delivered or made available to the Parties.

(b) Each Party may retain copies of books and records delivered or made available to the other, subject to holding in confidence in accordance with Section 6.9 Information contained in such books and records.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the first sentence of this Section 6.3, for a period beginning on the Distribution Date and continuing in perpetuity, if either MII or B&W identifies any MII Books and Records then in the possession of a member of the B&W Group or any B&W Books and Records then in the possession of a member of the MII Group, as applicable, MII or B&W, as the case may be, shall or shall cause any such MII Books and Records or B&W Books and Records to be conveyed, assigned, transferred and delivered, or otherwise made available, to the entity identified by B&W or MII, as the case may be, as the appropriate transferee.

(d) Each Party may refuse to furnish any Information if so doing, in such Party’s Good Faith Judgment, could result in a waiver of any Privilege with respect to a third party even if B&W and MII cooperated to protect such Privilege as contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Neither Party shall be required to deliver or make available to the other books and records or portions thereof which are subject to any applicable Law or confidentiality agreements which would by their terms prohibit such delivery; provided, however, if requested by the other Party, such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek a waiver of or other relief from such confidentiality restriction.

(f) To the extent any B&W Books and Records or MII Books and Records are subject to restrictions or limitations set forth the Employee Matters Agreement, such restrictions and limitations shall apply to such B&W Books and Records or MII Books and Records, notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the documents described on Schedule 6.3 shall be subject to the specific provisions set forth on Schedule 6.3.

Section 6.4 Agreement For Exchange of Information.

(a) Subject to any limitations or restrictions pursuant to any applicable Law or pursuant to the provisions set forth on Schedule 6.3, from and after the Distribution Date for a period of ten years, each of MII and B&W agrees to provide or make available, or cause to be provided or made available, to each other as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor, any Information in the possession or under the control of such Party that the requesting Party reasonably needs (i) to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements, requests or Laws imposed on the requesting Party (including under applicable securities Laws) by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the requesting Party, (ii) for use in any pending or threatened judicial, regulatory, arbitration, mediation or other proceeding or investigation or in order to satisfy audit requirements (whether in connection with audits conducted by independent

accounting firms, internal audits, or audits conducted by third parties entitled to do so by Contract, including customers and vendors), or in connection with accounting, claims, regulatory, litigation or other similar requirements, except in the case of a Dispute subject to Article V brought by one Party against the other Party (which shall be governed by such discovery rules as may be applicable under Article V), (iii) to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any Contract with a third party that is not an Affiliate, employee or agent of the requesting Party, or (iv) for any other significant business need as mutually determined in good faith by the Parties; provided, however, that in the event that either Party determines that any such provision (or making available) of Information is reasonably likely to be commercially detrimental or violate any Law or agreement, the Parties shall take reasonable measures to permit the compliance with such obligations in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence; provided, that this Section 6.4(a) shall not limit any Party’s ability to implement such Party’s records retention policies (including the record destruction provisions thereof). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for so long as MII (or any successor thereto) is required to reflect any financial information with respect to the B&W Entities in any of MII’s reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act, B&W shall: (i) upon request, provide certifications of its chief executive officer and its chief financial officer substantially similar in form and substance to the certifications provided to MII or its executive officers in the last 12 months preceding the Distribution Date with respect to periodic reporting of assets, liabilities and financial results of the operations conducted by the B&W Entities; (ii) provide reasonable access to the books and records of the B&W Entities to permit MII’s independent auditors to audit or review, as applicable, any such financial information to be reflected in any such reports filed with the SEC; and (iii) consent to the inclusion (or incorporation by reference) of any financial statements reflecting any such financial information in any of MII’s reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act or in any registration statements filed by MII with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933.

(b) Any Information owned by a Party that is provided or made available to a requesting Party pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall be deemed to remain the property of the Party providing or making available such Information. Unless specifically set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such Information.

(c) The Party requesting the Information under this Section 6.4 will reimburse the other Party for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of gathering, compiling and copying the Information.

(d) Except as otherwise agreed in writing, or as otherwise provided in any Ancillary Agreement, each Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to retain in accordance with such Party’s record retention policies in effect from time to time (which will comply with all applicable Laws) all significant Information in the Party’s possession or under its control relating to the business, Assets or Liabilities of the other Party’s Group, and, before destroying or disposing of any Information relating to the business, Assets or Liabilities of the other Party’s Group, (i) the Party proposing to dispose of or destroy the Information will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide

no less than 90 days’ prior written notice to the other Party, specifying the Information proposed to be destroyed or disposed of and (ii) if, before the scheduled date for the destruction or disposal, the other Party requests in writing that any of the Information proposed to be destroyed or disposed of be delivered or made available to the other Party, the Party proposing to dispose of or destroy the Information will promptly arrange for the delivery or making available of the requested Information to or at a location specified by, and at the expense of, the requesting Party; provided, that each Party may destroy or dispose of any Information that the other Party has previously copied.

(e) Except as otherwise provided for herein or in any Ancillary Agreement, neither Party shall have any liability to the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates in the event that any Information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Section 6.4 is found to be inaccurate or incomplete (including by misstatement or omission), in the absence of willful misconduct or fraud by the Party providing such Information.

(f) The rights and obligations granted under this Section 6.4 are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or confidential treatment of Information set forth in this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement.

(g) Each Party shall, except in the case of a dispute subject to Article V brought by one Party against another Party (which shall be governed by such discovery rules as may be applicable under Article V or otherwise), use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other Party, upon written request, (i) the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of such Party’s Group for fact finding, consultation and interviews and as witnesses to the extent such Persons may reasonably be required in connection with any Actions (other than Actions in which both MII or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and B&W or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, as the case may be, are parties and may be adverse to one another in such Action) in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved relating to the conduct of the B&W Business or the MII Business and (ii) any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with any judicial proceeding or other proceeding in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such judicial proceeding or other proceeding is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder. The requesting Party shall bear all costs and expenses in connection therewith.

Section 6.5 Preservation of Legal Privileges; Attorney Representation.

(a) MII and B&W recognize that the members of their respective Groups possess and will possess information and advice that has been previously developed but is legally protected from disclosure under legal privileges, such as the attorney-client privilege or work product exemption and other concepts of legal privilege (“Privilege”).

Each Party recognizes that it shall be jointly entitled to the Privilege with respect to such privileged information and that each shall be entitled to maintain and use for its own benefit all such information and advice, but both Parties shall ensure that such information is maintained so as to protect the Privileges with respect to the other Party’s interest. MII and B&W agree that their respective rights and obligations to maintain, preserve, assert or waive any or all Privileges belonging to either Party with respect to the B&W Business or the MII Business shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 6.5. With respect to matters relating to the MII Business, MII shall have sole authority in perpetuity to determine whether to assert or waive any or all Privileges, and B&W shall take no action (or permit any of its Subsidiaries to take action) without the prior written consent of MII that could, in MII’s Good Faith Judgment, result in any waiver of any Privilege that could be asserted by MII or any of its Subsidiaries under applicable Law and this Agreement. With respect to matters relating to the B&W Business, B&W shall have sole authority in perpetuity to determine whether to assert or waive any or all Privileges, and MII shall take no action (or permit any of its Subsidiaries to take action) without the prior written consent of B&W that could, in B&W’s Good Faith Judgment, result in any waiver of any Privilege that could be asserted by B&W or any of its Subsidiaries under applicable Law and this Agreement. The rights and obligations created by this Section 6.5 shall apply to all Information as to which MII or B&W or their respective Subsidiaries would be entitled to assert or has asserted a Privilege without regard to the effect, if any, of the Separation and Distribution (“Privileged Information”). Privileged Information of MII includes (i) any and all Privileged Information existing prior to the Distribution regarding the MII Business but which after the Distribution is in the possession of B&W or any of its Subsidiaries; (ii) all communications subject to a Privilege occurring prior to the Distribution between counsel for MII or any of its Subsidiaries (including in-house counsel and former in-house counsel who are employees of B&W) and any person who, at the time of the communication, was an employee of MII or any of its Subsidiaries, regardless of whether such employee is or becomes an employee of B&W or any of its Subsidiaries; and (iii) all Privileged Information generated, received or arising after the Distribution that refers or relates to Privileged Information generated, received or arising prior to the Distribution. Privileged Information of B&W includes (i) any and all Privileged Information existing prior to the Distribution regarding the B&W Business but which after the Distribution is in the possession of MII or any of its Subsidiaries; (ii) all communications subject to a Privilege occurring prior to the Distribution between counsel for B&W or any of its Subsidiaries (including in-house counsel and former in-house counsel who are employees of MII or its Subsidiaries) and any person who, at the time of the communication, was an employee of B&W or any of its Subsidiaries, regardless of whether such employee is or becomes an employee of MII or any of its Subsidiaries; and (iii) all Privileged Information generated, received or arising after the Distribution that refers or relates to Privileged Information generated, received or arising prior to the Distribution.

(b) Upon receipt by MII or B&W, as the case may be, of any subpoena, discovery or other request from any third party that actually or arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information of the other or if MII or B&W, as the case may be, obtains knowledge that any current or former employee of MII or B&W, as the case may be, has received any subpoena, discovery or other request from any third

party that actually or arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information of the other, MII or B&W, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other of the existence of the request and shall provide the other a reasonable opportunity to review the Privileged Information and to assert any rights it may have under this Section 6.5 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of Privileged Information. MII or B&W, as the case may be, will not produce or disclose to any third party any of the other’s Privileged Information under this Section 6.5 unless (A) the other has provided its express written consent to such production or disclosure, or (B) a court of competent jurisdiction has entered an order not subject to interlocutory appeal or review finding that the Information is not entitled to protection from disclosure under any applicable Privilege, doctrine or rule.

(c) MII’s transfer of B&W Books and Records and other Information to B&W, MII’s agreement to permit B&W to obtain Information existing prior to the Distribution, B&W’s transfer of MII Books and Records and other Information to MII, and B&W’s agreement to permit MII to obtain Information existing prior to the Distribution are made in reliance on MII’s and B&W’s respective agreements, as set forth in Section 6.9 and this Section 6.5, to maintain the confidentiality of such Privileged Information and to take the steps provided herein for the preservation of all Privileges that may belong to or be asserted by MII or B&W, as the case may be. The access to Privileged Information being granted pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to Section 6.4(g) hereof and the disclosure to B&W and MII of Privileged Information relating to the B&W Business or the MII Business pursuant to this Agreement in connection with the Separation and Distribution shall not be asserted by MII or B&W to constitute, or otherwise be deemed, a waiver of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Section 6.5 or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to reduce, minimize or condition the rights granted to MII and B&W in, or the obligations imposed upon MII and B&W by, this Section 6.5.

(d) MII, on behalf of itself and on behalf of each other member of the MII Group, hereby waives any conflict of interest with respect to any attorney who is or becomes an officer or employee of B&W or any of its Subsidiaries resulting from such person being an officer or employee of MII or any of its Subsidiaries (including B&W and its Subsidiaries) at any time prior to the Distribution and agrees to allow such attorney to represent B&W and its Subsidiaries in any transaction or dispute with respect to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and transactions between the Parties and their Subsidiaries and other Affiliates which commence following the Distribution Date. B&W, on behalf of itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, hereby waives any conflict of interest with respect to any attorney who is or becomes an officer or employee of MII or any other member of the MII Group resulting from such person being an officer or employee of B&W or any of its Subsidiaries at any time prior to the Distribution and agrees to allow such attorney to represent MII or any other member of the MII Group in any transaction or dispute with respect to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and transactions between the Parties and their Subsidiaries and other Affiliates which commence following the Distribution Date. In furtherance of the

foregoing, each member of the MII Group and each member of the B&W Group will, upon request, execute and deliver a specific waiver as may be appropriate in connection with a particular transaction or dispute under the applicable rules of professional conduct in order to effectuate the general waiver set forth above.

Section 6.6 Payment of Expenses . Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, each Party will bear its own expenses in connection with the Separation, the Distribution and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.7 Surety Instruments. On or after the Distribution Date, if any letters of credit, financial or surety bonds issued by third parties or other similar financial instruments issued by third parties (collectively, “Surety Instruments”) for the account of MII or any of its Subsidiaries issued on behalf of or for the benefit of the B&W Business are outstanding, B&W shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to replace such Surety Instruments as promptly as practicable with Surety Instruments that (x) are issued for B&W’s own account or the account of any of its Subsidiaries (or any combination thereof), (y) are acceptable to the beneficiary or beneficiaries thereof and (z) neither impose any Liabilities, directly or indirectly, on MII or any of its Subsidiaries nor encumber or otherwise restrict, directly or indirectly, any Assets of MII or any of its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, if, after using commercially reasonable efforts, B&W and its Subsidiaries are unable to obtain access to a third-party surety arrangement immediately after the Distribution Time, then MII shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit B&W and its Subsidiaries to maintain access to the existing surety arrangements to which MII is a party and pursuant to which Surety Instruments for the benefit of the B&W Business are outstanding as of the Distribution Time, for a period of time that does not extend beyond 720 days following the Distribution Date, to the extent permitted pursuant to MII’s credit facilities, as the same may hereafter be amended or replaced; provided, however, that (for so long as MII may have any obligation under or in respect of any additional Surety Instruments that may be issued in accordance with this sentence pursuant to the existing surety arrangements described in the foregoing provisions of this sentence, as they may hereafter be amended or otherwise modified from time to time) in no event shall (i) B&W and its Subsidiaries utilize pursuant to this sentence, at any point in time, aggregate bonding capacity under such existing surety arrangements in excess of $200 million (with any Surety Instruments outstanding as of the Distribution Date not being taken into account to determine if this limit has been reached), and (ii) any Surety Instrument issued pursuant to this sentence have a term that exceeds five years; provided, further, that (i) the ability of B&W and its Subsidiaries to access such existing surety arrangements shall terminate immediately upon B&W ceasing to maintain a corporate rating of BB- or higher by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P) and Ba3 or higher by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody’s) and (ii) neither B&W nor any of its Subsidiaries shall access any such existing surety arrangements during any period following B&W’s receipt of notice from, or a public announcement by, either S&P or Moody’s that such rating agency is considering a possible ratings change below the level specified in the immediately preceding clause (i) unless and until such rating agency has advised B&W in writing that such ratings agency is no longer considering such a ratings change. From and after the Distribution Time: B&W shall (i) directly pay to the Person issuing any Surety Instrument pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence any surety fees or other fees or costs charged with respect to such Surety Instruments; (ii) promptly pay to MII upon written request

amounts equal to any out-of-pocket or other expenses incurred by MII or any of its Subsidiaries (including any expenses recorded pursuant to the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees ) arising from or relating to any Surety Instruments described in the second sentence of this Section 6.7 or any actions taken by MII in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.7; and (iii) indemnify and hold harmless MII and each of its Subsidiaries from and against any other Losses arising from or relating to any Surety Instruments described in the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.7, as set forth in Section 3.3. B&W shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into, renew or extend the term of, increase its obligations under, or transfer to a third party, any loan, lease, Contract or other obligation in connection with which MII or any of its Subsidiaries has issued, or caused to be issued, any Surety Instruments which remain outstanding. The Parties agree that neither MII nor any of its Subsidiaries will have any obligation to renew any Surety Instruments issued on behalf of a member of the B&W Group after the expiration of any such Surety Instruments, provided that nothing in this Section 6.7 shall prevent MII from renewing any Surety Instrument. If B&W is unable to replace any of the Surety Instruments within ten days after a Change of Control of B&W, B&W will cause letters of credit to be issued to MII (or, as applicable, the Subsidiaries of MII that are directly or contingently liable with respect thereto) by one or more financial institutions reasonably acceptable to MII to provide, in each case, MII (or, as applicable, its Subsidiaries) with prompt cash reimbursement, in full, in the event of any draw, cash call or other event giving rise to any payment obligation on the part of MII or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any such Surety Instrument, for so long as such Surety Instruments remain outstanding or in effect. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and acknowledged that the performance obligations of the Parties under this Section 6.7 are subject to the limitations on liability set forth in Section 3.12.

Section 6.8 Guarantee Obligations . MII and B&W shall cooperate and B&W shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to terminate, or to cause B&W, one of its Subsidiaries, or one of its Affiliates (other than, if applicable, MII or any of its Subsidiaries) to be substituted in all respects for MII and any of its Subsidiaries in respect of, all obligations of MII or any of its Subsidiaries under any loan, financing, lease, Contract or other obligation (other than Surety Instruments governed by Section 6.7) in existence as of the Distribution Time pertaining to the B&W Business for which MII or any of its Subsidiaries is or may be liable as guarantor (“MII Guarantees”). If such a termination or substitution is not effected by the Distribution Time, (i) B&W shall indemnify and hold harmless the MII Group for any Losses arising from or relating to MII Guarantees and (ii) neither MII nor any of its Subsidiaries will have any obligation to renew any MII Guarantees after the expiration of such MII Guarantees. To the extent that MII or any of its Subsidiaries have performance obligations under any MII Guarantee, B&W will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) perform such obligations on behalf of MII and its Subsidiaries or (ii) otherwise take such action as reasonably requested by MII so as to put MII and its Subsidiaries in the same position as if B&W, and not MII and its Subsidiaries, had performed or were performing such obligations. If B&W is unable to be substituted in all respects for any of the MII Guarantees within ten days after a Change of Control of B&W, B&W will cause letters of credit to be issued to MII (or, as applicable, the Subsidiaries of MII that are directly or contingently liable with respect thereto) by one or more financial institutions reasonably acceptable to MII to provide, in each case, MII (or, as applicable, its Subsidiaries) with prompt cash reimbursement, in full, in the event of any event giving rise to any payment

obligation on the part of MII or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any such MII Guarantee, for so long as such MII Guarantees remain outstanding or in effect.

Section 6.9 Confidentiality.

(a) MII and B&W shall hold and shall cause the members of the MII Group and the B&W Group, respectively, to hold, and shall each cause their respective officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence and not to disclose or release without the prior written consent of the other Party, any and all Confidential Information (as defined herein); provided, that the Parties may disclose, or may permit disclosure of, Confidential Information (i) to their respective auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other appropriate consultants and advisors who have a need to know such information and are informed of their obligation to hold such information confidential to the same extent as is applicable to the Parties and in respect of whose failure to comply with such obligations, MII or B&W, as the case may be, will be responsible or (ii) to the extent any member of the MII Group or the B&W Group is compelled to disclose any such Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or, in the opinion of legal counsel, by other requirements of Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made pursuant to clause (ii) above, MII or B&W, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other of the existence of such request or demand and shall provide the other a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, which both Parties will cooperate in seeking to obtain. In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Party whose Confidential Information is required to be disclosed shall or shall cause the other Party to furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed. As used in this Section 6.9, “Confidential Information” shall mean all proprietary, technical or proprietary, operational Information (including proprietary Information relating to the ages, birth dates, social security numbers, health-related matters or other confidential matters concerning employees or former employees) of one Party which, prior to or following the Distribution Time, has been disclosed by MII or members of the MII Group, on the one hand, or B&W or members of the B&W Group, on the other hand, to, or otherwise has come into the possession of, the other, including pursuant to the access provisions of Section 6.4 hereof or any other provision of this Agreement or by virtue of employees of the MII Group becoming employees of the B&W Group as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent that such Information can be shown to have been (a) in the public domain through no fault of such Party (or, in the case of MII, any other member of the MII Group or, in the case of B&W, any other member of the B&W Group) or (b) later lawfully acquired from other sources by the Party (or, in the case of MII, such member of the MII Group or, in the case of B&W, such member of the B&W Group) to which it was furnished; provided, however, in the case of (b) that such sources did not provide such Information in breach of any confidentiality obligations).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) MII and the other members of the MII Group, on the one hand, and B&W and the other members of the B&W Group, on the other hand, shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations

hereunder with respect to Confidential Information if they exercise the same degree of care (but no less than a reasonable degree of care) as they take to preserve confidentiality for their own similar Information and (ii) confidentiality obligations provided for in any agreement between MII or any other member of the MII Group, or B&W or any other member of the B&W Group, on the one hand, and any employee of MII or any other member of the MII Group, or B&W or any other member of the B&W Group, on the other hand, shall remain in full force and effect. Confidential Information of MII or any other member of the MII Group, on the one hand, or B&W or any other member of the B&W Group, on the other hand, in the possession of and used by the other as of the Distribution Time may continue to be used by such Person in possession of the Confidential Information in and only in the operation of the MII Business or the B&W Business, as the case may be, and may be used only so long as the Confidential Information is maintained in confidence and not disclosed in violation of Section 6.9(a). Such continued right to use may not be transferred to any third party unless the third party purchases all or substantially all of the business and Assets of MII or B&W, or any Asset of MII or B&W in which the relevant Confidential Information is used or employed, in one transaction or in a series of related transactions, and such prospective purchaser executes a written agreement with B&W or MII, as the case may be (which agreement shall be fully and directly enforceable by B&W or MII, respectively), in which such Party agrees to be bound in perpetuity by the terms of this Section 6.9.

Section 6.10 Insurance.

(a) The Parties intend by this Agreement that, to the extent permitted under the terms of any applicable insurance policy, B&W, each other member of the B&W Group and each of their respective directors, officers and employees will be successors in interest and will have and be fully entitled to continue to exercise all rights that any of them may have as of the Distribution Time (with respect to events occurring before the Distribution Time) as a Subsidiary, Affiliate, division, director, officer or employee of MII before the Distribution Time under any policy of insurance issued to MII or any member of the MII Group by any third-party insurance carrier not affiliated with MII or under any agreements related to such policies executed and delivered before the Distribution Time, including any rights that B&W, any other member of the B&W Group or any of its or their respective directors, officers, or employees may have as an insured or additional named insured, Subsidiary, Affiliate, division, director, officer or employee to avail itself, himself or herself of any policy of insurance or any agreements related to the policies in effect before the Distribution Time, with respect to events occurring before the Distribution Time. In addition, for a period of six years from and after the Distribution Date, MII shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the “tail coverage” described in Schedule 6.10, provided that each of MII and B&W shall bear one-half of (i) the premiums paid or payable with respect to such coverage and (ii) amounts actually incurred as retention amounts under such coverage.

(b) After the Distribution Time, MII (and each other member of the MII Group) and B&W (and each other member of the B&W Group) shall not, without the consent of B&W or MII, respectively (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), provide any insurance carrier with a release or amend, modify or

waive any rights under any insurance policy or agreement if such release, amendment, modification or waiver thereunder would materially adversely affect any rights of any member of the Group of the other Party with respect to insurance coverage otherwise afforded to such other Party for pre-Distribution claims; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not (A) preclude any member of any Group from presenting any claim or from exhausting any policy limit, (B) require any member of any Group to pay any premium or other amount or to incur any Liability or (C) require any member of any Group to renew, extend or continue any policy in force. Subject to Section 6.5, each of MII and B&W will share such Information as is reasonably necessary in order to permit the other to manage and conduct its insurance matters in an orderly fashion.

(d) No member of the MII Group or any MII Indemnitee will have any Liabilities whatsoever as a result of the insurance policies and practices of MII or any other member of the MII Group as in effect at any time before the Distribution Time, including as a result of (i) the level or scope of any insurance, (ii) the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, (iii) the terms and conditions of any policy, or (iv) the adequacy or timeliness of any notice to any insurance carrier with respect to any claim or potential claim.

(e) Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 6.10(b), in no event will MII, any other member of the MII Group or any MII Indemnitee have any Liability or obligation whatsoever to any member of the B&W Group if any insurance policy or other contract of insurance is terminated or otherwise ceases to be in effect for any reason, is unavailable or inadequate to cover any Liability of any member of the B&W Group for any reason whatsoever or is not renewed or extended beyond the current expiration date.

(f) This Agreement is not intended as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance and will not be construed to waive any right or remedy of any members of the MII Group in respect of any insurance policy or any other contract or policy of insurance.

(g) Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to restrict any member of the B&W Group from acquiring at its own expense any other insurance policy in respect of any Liabilities or covering any period.

(h) To the extent that any insurance policy provided for the reinstatement of policy limits, and both MII and B&W desire to reinstate such limits, the cost of reinstatement will be shared by MII and B&W as the Parties may agree. If either Party, in its sole discretion, determines that such reinstatement would not be beneficial, that Party shall not contribute to the cost of reinstatement and will not make any claim thereunder nor otherwise seek to benefit from the reinstated policy limits.

(i) For purposes of this Agreement, “Covered Matter” shall mean any matter, whether arising before or after the Distribution Time, with respect to which any member of the B&W Group or any of their respective directors, officers or employees may seek to exercise any right under any MII policy of insurance or related agreement pursuant to this Section 6.10. If B&W receives notice or otherwise learns of any Covered Matter, B&W shall promptly give MII written notice thereof. Any such notice shall describe the Covered Matter in reasonable detail. With respect to each Covered Matter (other than any such Covered Matter with respect to which any member of the MII Group or any of their respective directors, officers or employees may seek to exercise any right under any MII policy of insurance or related agreement), B&W shall have sole responsibility for reporting the claim to the insurance carrier and managing and defending the claim (collectively, “Claims Administration”); provided that B&W shall provide MII with at least ten days’ prior written notice before settling or seeking settlement authority from any MII insurance underwriter for an amount equal to or exceeding $5 million with respect to any such Covered Matter. Except as provided above in this Section 6.10(i), MII shall have responsibility for Claims Administration with respect to Covered Matters.

(j) B&W agrees that, from and after the Distribution Time: (i) B&W will be responsible for submitting (or causing another member of the B&W Group to submit) to ACE American Insurance Company or its applicable affiliates (collectively, “ACE”) any insurance claims under any of the Existing Policies (as defined in the Assumption and Loss Allocation Agreement) with respect to any B&W Liabilities for which insurance coverage is available under any of the Existing Policies; (ii) B&W will (or will cause another member of the B&W Group to) duly and timely submit each insurance claim referred to in the immediately preceding clause (i) to ACE; and (iii) in the event B&W or another member of the B&W Group fails to duly and timely submit any such insurance claim, B&W hereby authorizes MII to submit (on behalf of each applicable member of the B&W Group) such insurance claim, if the underlying liability relates to a B&W Liability as to which B&W has agreed to indemnify the members of the MII Group pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6.10(j), submitting an insurance claim includes tendering notice of a third-party claim and such other acts as are necessary to comply with the policyholder’s responsibilities under the Existing Policy with respect to the applicable Loss.

Exhibit 3.1

RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

THE BABCOCK & WILCOX COMPANY

The Babcock & Wilcox Company (the “ Corporation ”), a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), hereby adopts this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which accurately restates and integrates the provisions of the existing Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation as heretofore amended (as so amended, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and further amends the Certificate of Incorporation as provided herein, and does hereby further certify that:

1. The name of the Corporation is The Babcock & Wilcox Company. The original certificate of incorporation of the Corporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 8, 2010.

2. The Board of Directors of the Corporation and the sole stockholder of the Corporation have duly adopted this Restated Certificate of Incorporation in accordance with the provisions of Sections 242 and 245 of the DGCL.

3. The Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

F IRST : The name of the Corporation is The Babcock & Wilcox Company.

S ECOND : The address of the registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware is 1209 Orange Street, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle. The name of the Corporation’s registered agent at that address is The Corporation Trust Company.

T HIRD : The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful business, act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any successor statute (the “ DGCL ”).

F OURTH : The aggregate number of shares of capital stock which the Corporation will have authority to issue is 325,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (“ Common Stock ”), and 75,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share (“ Preferred Stock ”). The Corporation may issue shares of any class of its capital stock for such consideration and for such corporate purposes as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “ Board of Directors ”) may from time to time determine. Each share of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote.

The Preferred Stock may be divided into and issued from time to time in one or more series as may be fixed and determined by the Board of Directors. The relative rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock of each series will be such as are stated in any resolution or

resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors setting forth the designation of that series and fixing and determining the relative rights and preferences thereof, any such resolution or resolutions being herein called a “Directors’ Resolution.” The Board of Directors hereby is authorized to fix and determine the powers, designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other rights (including, without limitation, voting powers, full or limited, preferential rights to receive dividends or assets on liquidation, rights of conversion or exchange into Common Stock, Preferred Stock of any series or other securities, any right of the Corporation to exchange or convert shares into Common Stock, Preferred Stock of any series or other securities, or redemption provisions or sinking fund provisions) as between series and as between or among series of Preferred Stock and as between the Preferred Stock or any series thereof and the Common Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, all as shall be stated in a Directors’ Resolution, and the shares of Preferred Stock or any series thereof may have full or limited voting powers, or be without voting powers, all as shall be stated in a Directors’ Resolution.

Consistent with this Article FOURTH and applicable law, any of the voting powers, designations, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions of any series of Preferred Stock may be dependent on facts ascertainable outside this Certificate of Incorporation (this “ Certificate of Incorporation ”) or any amendment hereto, or outside resolutions of the Board of Directors pursuant to authority expressly vested in it by this Certificate of Incorporation. Except as applicable law or this Certificate of Incorporation otherwise may require, the terms of any series of Preferred Stock may be amended without consent of the holders of any other series of Preferred Stock or of any class of capital stock of the Corporation.

No stockholder will, by reason of the holding of shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation, have a preemptive or preferential right to acquire or subscribe for any shares or securities of any class, whether now or hereafter authorized, which may at any time be issued, sold or offered for sale by the Corporation, unless a Directors’ Resolution specifically so provides with respect to a series of Preferred Stock.

Cumulative voting of shares of any class or series of capital stock having voting rights is prohibited unless specifically provided for in a Directors’ Resolution with respect to a series of Preferred Stock. Furthermore, the Common Stock is not convertible, redeemable or assessable, or entitled to the benefits of any sinking fund.

F IFTH : (a) Directors. The business and affairs of the Corporation will be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. In addition to the authority and powers conferred on the Board of Directors by the DGCL or by the other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors hereby is authorized and empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject to the provisions of the DGCL, this Certificate of Incorporation and any Bylaws of the Corporation; provided, however , that no Bylaws hereafter adopted, or any amendments thereto, will invalidate any prior act of the Board of Directors that would have been valid if such Bylaws or amendment had not been adopted.

(b) Number, Election, Classification and Terms of Directors . The number of directors which will constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed from time to time exclusively

by, and may be increased or decreased from time to time exclusively by, the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the directors then in office (subject to such rights of holders of a series of shares of Preferred Stock to elect one or more directors pursuant to any provisions contained in a Directors’ Resolution with respect to such series), but in any event will not be less than three. The directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, will be divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. Each director will serve for a term ending on the third annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation following the annual meeting of stockholders at which that director was elected; provided, however, that the directors first designated as Class I directors will serve for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders next following the end of the calendar year 2010, the directors first designated as Class II directors will serve for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders next following the end of the calendar year 2011, and the directors first designated as Class III directors will serve for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders next following the end of the calendar year 2012. Each director will hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders at which that director’s term expires and, the foregoing notwithstanding, each director will serve until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

At each annual election, the directors chosen to succeed those whose terms then expire will be of the same class as the directors they succeed, unless, by reason of any intervening changes in the authorized number of directors, the Board of Directors shall have designated one or more directorships whose term then expires as directorships of another class in order more nearly to achieve equality of number of directors among the classes.

In the event of any change in the authorized number of directors, each director then continuing to serve as such will nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which he or she is a member until the expiration of his or her current term, or his or her prior death, resignation or removal. The Board of Directors will specify the class to which a newly created directorship will be allocated.

Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Corporation so provide.

(c) Removal of Directors . No director of the Corporation may be removed from office as a director by vote or other action of the stockholders or otherwise, except for cause or a Board Determination (as defined below), and then only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation generally entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. Except as applicable law otherwise provides and unless the Board of Directors has made a determination that removal is in the best interests of the Corporation (in which case a finding of cause is not required for removal), which determination shall require the affirmative vote of at least eighty percent (80%) of the directors then in office at any meeting of the Board of Directors called for that purpose (a “Board Determination”), “cause” for the removal of a director will be deemed to exist only if the director whose removal is proposed: (i) has been convicted, or has been granted immunity to testify in any proceeding in which another has been convicted, of a felony by a court of competent jurisdiction and that conviction is no longer subject to direct appeal; (ii) has been found to have been grossly negligent or guilty of misconduct in the

performance of his duties to the Corporation in any matter of substantial importance to the Corporation by (A) the affirmative vote of at least eighty percent (80%) of the directors then in office at any meeting of the Board of Directors called for that purpose or (B) a court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) has been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be mentally incompetent, which mental incompetency directly affects his ability to serve as a director of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever holders of outstanding shares of one or more series of Preferred Stock are entitled to elect members of the Board of Directors voting separately as a class pursuant to the provisions applicable in the case of arrearages in the payment of dividends or other defaults contained in the Directors’ Resolution providing for the establishment of any series of Preferred Stock, any such director of the Corporation so elected may be removed in accordance with the provisions of that Directors’ Resolution. The foregoing provisions of this Article FIFTH are subject to the terms of any series of Preferred Stock with respect to the directors to be elected solely by the holders of such series of Preferred Stock.

(d) Vacancies . Except as a Directors’ Resolution providing for the establishment of any series of Preferred Stock may provide otherwise, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, removal or other cause will be filled by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or by the sole remaining director. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence will hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until that director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Except as a Directors’ Resolution providing for the establishment of any series of Preferred Stock may provide otherwise with respect to directors elected pursuant to any provisions contained in a Directors’ Resolution with respect to such series, no decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors will shorten the term of any incumbent director.

(e) Amendment of Bylaws . The Board of Directors shall have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation. Any adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws of the Corporation by the Board of Directors shall require the approval of at least a majority of the directors then in office. The stockholders shall also have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation at any annual meeting before which such matter has been properly brought in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation, or at any special meeting if notice of the proposed amendment is contained in the notice of said special meeting; provided , however , that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to adopt, amend or repeal any provision of the Bylaws of the Corporation.

(f) Certain Amendments . Notwithstanding anything in this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation to the contrary, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to

vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to alter, amend or adopt any provision inconsistent with, or to repeal, this Article FIFTH or Article SIXTH.

S IXTH : From and after the first date as of which the Corporation has a class or series of capital stock registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as a Directors’ Resolution may establish with respect to any series of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing by those stockholders. Except as applicable law requires, or as a Directors’ Resolution may prescribe, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by (i) the Chairman of the Board of Directors or (ii) the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution at least a majority of the entire Board of Directors approves by an affirmative vote, and no such special meeting may be called by any other person or persons.

S EVENTH : No director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions will not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (a) for any breach of that director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the DGCL, as the same exists or as that provision hereafter may be amended, supplemented or replaced, or (d) for any transactions from which that director derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is amended after the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided herein, will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by that law, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Article SEVENTH by the stockholders of the Corporation will be prospective only and will not have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of a director of the Corporation arising out of or related to any event, act or omission that occurred prior to such repeal or modification.

E IGHTH : Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between the Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between the Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of the Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof, or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code, or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code, order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If the majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders, of the Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of the Corporation as a consequence of that compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization will, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of the Corporation, as the case may be, and also on the Corporation.

4. This Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this certificate to be executed this 2 ^nd day of July, 2010.

AMENDED AND RESTATED

BYLAWS

THE BABCOCK & WILCOX COMPANY

EFFECTIVE AS OF JULY 2, 2010

The Board of Directors of The Babcock & Wilcox Company (the “ Corporation ”) by resolution has duly adopted these Amended and Restated Bylaws (these “ Bylaws ”) to govern the Corporation’s internal affairs.

ARTICLE I

STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1.1 Annual Meetings . If required by applicable law, the Corporation will hold an annual meeting of the holders of its capital stock (each, a “ Stockholder ”) for the election of directors of the Corporation (each, a “ Director ”) at such date, time and place as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “ Board ”) by resolution may designate from time to time. The Corporation may transact any other business, or act on any proposal, at an annual meeting which has properly come before that meeting in accordance with Sections 1.10 or 2.10.

Section 1.2 Special Meetings . Any of the following may call special meetings of Stockholders for any purpose or purposes at any time and designate the date, time and place of any such meeting: (i) the Chairman of the Board (the “ Chairman ”); and (ii) the Board pursuant to a resolution that at least a majority of the total number of Directors approves by an affirmative vote. Except as the restated certificate of incorporation of the Corporation (as amended from time to time and including each certificate of designation, if any, respecting any class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation which has been executed, acknowledged and filed in accordance with applicable law, the “ Certificate of Incorporation ”) or applicable law otherwise provides, no other person or persons may call a special meeting of Stockholders. Business transacted at any special meeting of Stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

Section 1.3 Notice of Meetings . By or at the direction of the Chairman, the chief executive officer of the Corporation (the “ CEO ”) or the secretary of the Corporation (the “ Secretary ”) whenever Stockholders are to take any action at a meeting, the Corporation will give a notice of that meeting to the Stockholders entitled to vote at that meeting which states the place, date, the means of remote communications, if any, by which Stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at the meeting, and hour of that meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which that meeting is called. Unless the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or applicable law otherwise provides, the Corporation will give the notice of any meeting of Stockholders not less than ten nor more than 60 days before the date of that meeting. Written notice may be given personally, by mail or by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the Stockholder to whom the notice is given, to the fullest extent allowed under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any successor statute (the “ DGCL ”). Notice of any meeting of Stockholders need not be given to any Stockholder (a) if waived by such Stockholder in writing in accordance with Section 7.6 or (b) to

-1-

whom (i) notice of two consecutive annual meetings, and all notices of meetings or of the taking of action by written consent without a meeting to such person during the period between such two consecutive annual meetings, or (ii) all, and at least two, payments (if sent by first-class mail) of dividends or interest on securities during a 12-month period, in either case (i) or (ii) above, have been mailed addressed to such person at such person’s address as shown on the records of the Corporation and have been returned undeliverable; provided, however, that the exception in (b)(i) shall not be applicable to any notice returned as undeliverable if the notice was given by electronic transmission. If any person to whom notice need not be given in accordance with clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence shall deliver to the Corporation a written notice setting forth such person’s then current address, the requirement that notice be given to such person shall be reinstated. Attendance at a meeting of the Stockholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when a Stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting (and so expresses such objection at the beginning of the meeting) to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting has not been called or convened in accordance with applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

Section 1.4 Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record .

(a) Registered Holders as Owners. Unless otherwise provided under Delaware law, the Corporation may regard the person in whose name any shares issued by the Corporation are registered in the stock transfer records of the Corporation at any particular time (including, without limitation, as of a record date fixed pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 1.4) as the owner of those shares at that time for purposes of voting those shares, receiving distributions thereon or notices in respect thereof, transferring those shares, exercising rights of dissent with respect to those shares, entering into agreements with respect to those shares, or giving proxies with respect to those shares; and neither the Corporation nor any of its officers, Directors, employees or agents shall be liable for regarding that person as the owner of those shares at that time for any of those purposes.

(b) Record Date . In order that the Corporation may determine the Stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board by resolution may fix a record date, which record date: (i) must not precede the date on which the Board adopts that resolution; (ii) in the case of a determination of Stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of Stockholders or adjournment thereof, will, unless applicable law otherwise requires, not be more than 60 nor less than ten days before the date of that meeting; and (iii) in the case of any other action, will not be more than 60 days prior to that other action. If the Board does not fix a record date: (i) the record date for determining Stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Stockholders will be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived in accordance with Section 7.6 of these Bylaws, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; and (ii) the record date for determining Stockholders for any other purpose will be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of Stockholders of record entitled

-2-

to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Stockholders will apply to any adjournment of that meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Section 1.5 List of Stockholders Entitled To Vote . The Secretary will prepare and make, at least ten days before each meeting of Stockholders, a list of the Stockholders entitled to vote at that meeting which complies with the requirements of Section 219 of the DGCL as in effect at that time.

Section 1.6 Adjournments . Any meeting of Stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time by the Chairman or presiding officer of the meeting or by the Stockholders or their proxies in attendance to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business it might have transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment the Board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, the Corporation will give, in accordance with Section 1.3, notice of the adjourned meeting to each Stockholder of record and entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting.

Section 1.7 Quorum . Except as the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or applicable law otherwise provides: (i) at each meeting of Stockholders the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of shares of stock having a majority of the votes the holders of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting could cast will be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum; and (ii) the holders of capital stock of the Corporation so present and entitled to vote at any duly convened meeting at which the necessary quorum has been ascertained may continue to transact business until that meeting adjourns notwithstanding any withdrawal from that meeting of shares of capital stock counted in determining the existence of that quorum. Any shares subject to “broker non-votes” shall be considered present at the meeting with respect to the determination of a quorum but shall not be considered as votes cast with respect to matters as to which no authority is granted. In the absence of a quorum, the Chairman or presiding officer of the meeting or the Stockholders so present may, by majority vote, adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner Section 1.6 provides until a quorum attends. Shares of its own capital stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity (each, an “ Entity ”), if the Corporation, directly or indirectly, holds a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors (or the equivalent) of that other Entity, will be neither entitled to vote nor counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing will not limit the right of the Corporation to vote shares of capital stock, including but not limited to its own capital stock, it holds in a fiduciary capacity.

Section 1.8 Organization . The Chairman will chair and preside over any meeting of Stockholders at which he or she is present. The Board will designate the chairman and presiding officer over any meeting of Stockholders from which the Chairman is absent. In the absence of such designation by the Board, the chairman of the meeting will be chosen at the meeting. The Secretary will act as secretary of meetings of Stockholders, but in his or her absence from any such meeting the chairman of that meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of that meeting. The chairman of any meeting of Stockholders will announce at that

-3-

meeting the date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter on which the Stockholders will vote at that meeting.

Section 1.9 Voting by Stockholders .

(a) Voting on Matters Other than the Election of Directors. With respect to any matters as to which no other voting requirement is specified by the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote required for Stockholder action shall be that of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. Any shares subject to broker non-votes shall not be considered as shares entitled to vote as to matters with respect to which no authority has been granted. In the case of a matter submitted for a vote of the Stockholders as to which a Stockholder approval requirement is applicable under the Stockholder approval policy of any stock exchange or quotation system on which the capital stock of the Corporation is traded or quoted, the requirements (to the extent applicable to the Corporation) of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), or any provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Internal Revenue Code ”), in each case for which no higher voting requirement is specified by the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the vote required for approval shall be the requisite vote specified in such Stockholder approval policy, Rule 16b-3 or Internal Revenue Code provision, as the case may be (or the highest such requirement if more than one is applicable). For the approval or ratification of the appointment of independent public accountants (if submitted for a vote of the Stockholders), the vote required for approval shall be a majority of the votes cast on the matter. For this purpose, abstentions shall not be considered as votes cast.

(b) Voting in the Election of Directors. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in the election of Directors at a meeting of Stockholders at which a quorum is present.

Section 2.5 Organization . The Chairman will chair and preside over meetings of the Board at which he or she is present.

Section 2.8 Quorum; Vote Required for Action . At all meetings of the Board, the presence in person of a majority of the total number of Directors then in office will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the participation by a Director in any meeting of the Board will constitute that Director’s presence in person at that meeting unless that Director expressly limits that participation to objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business at that meeting on the ground that the meeting has not been called or convened in accordance with applicable law or these Bylaws. Except in cases in which the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws otherwise provide, the vote of a majority of the Directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present will be the act of the Board.

In addition to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10, a Stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, to the extent such requirements apply to the Corporation, with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.10.

ARTICLE III

BOARD COMMITTEES

Section 3.1 Board Committees . (a) The Board may designate one or more Board committees consisting of one or more of the Directors. The Board may designate one or more Directors as alternate members of any Board committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of that committee.

The Board by resolution may elect a chairman of any Board committee. The election or appointment of any Director to a Board committee will not create any contract rights of that Director, and the Board’s removal of any member of any Board committee will not prejudice any contract rights that member otherwise may have.

(c) Each other Board committee the Board may designate pursuant to Section 3.1(a) will, subject to applicable provisions of law, have and may exercise all the powers and authorities of the Board to the extent the Board resolution designating that committee so provides.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.1 General . The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in effect on the date of effectiveness of these Bylaws, and to such greater extent as applicable law may thereafter permit, indemnify and hold each Indemnitee (as this and all other capitalized words used in this Article VI not previously defined in these Bylaws are defined in Section 6.15 hereof) harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, costs, claims, damages and, subject to Section 6.2, Expenses arising out of any event or occurrence related to the fact that Indemnitee is or was a Director or an officer of the Corporation or is or was serving in another Corporate Status.

Section 6.2 Expenses . If Indemnitee is, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, he or she shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to any Matter in such Proceeding, the Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf relating to such Matter. The termination of any Matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such Matter. To the extent that the Indemnitee is, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding, he or she shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection therewith.

Section 6.3 Advances . In the event of any threatened or pending Proceeding in which Indemnitee is a party or is involved and that may give rise to a right of indemnification under this Article VI, following written request to the Corporation by Indemnitee, the Corporation shall promptly pay to Indemnitee amounts to cover Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon the receipt by the Corporation of (i) a written undertaking executed by or on behalf of Indemnitee providing that Indemnitee will repay the advance if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as provided in this Article VI and (ii) satisfactory evidence as to the amount of such Expenses.

Section 6.4 Request for Indemnification . To obtain indemnification, Indemnitee shall submit to the Secretary a written claim or request. Such written claim or request shall contain sufficient information to reasonably inform the Corporation about the

-16-

nature and extent of the indemnification or advance sought by Indemnitee. The Secretary shall promptly advise the Board of such request.

Section 6.5 Determination of Entitlement; No Change of Control . If there has been no Change of Control at or before the time the request for indemnification is submitted, Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be determined in accordance with Section 145(d) of the DGCL. If entitlement to indemnification is to be determined by Independent Counsel, the Corporation shall furnish notice to Indemnitee, within ten days after receipt of the request for indemnification, specifying the identity and address of Independent Counsel. The Indemnitee may, within 14 days after receipt of such written notice, deliver to the Corporation a written objection to such selection. Such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of Independent Counsel and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis for such assertion. If there is an objection to the selection of Independent Counsel, either the Corporation or Indemnitee may petition the Court for a determination that the objection is without a reasonable basis or for the appointment of Independent Counsel selected by the Court.

Section 6.6 Determination of Entitlement; Change of Control . If there has been a Change of Control at or before the time the request for indemnification is submitted, Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be determined in a written opinion by Independent Counsel selected by Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall give the Corporation written notice advising of the identity and address of the Independent Counsel so selected. The Corporation may, within 14 days after receipt of such written notice of selection, deliver to the Indemnitee a written objection to such selection. Indemnitee may, within 14 days after the receipt of such objection from the Corporation, submit the name of another Independent Counsel and the Corporation may, within seven days after receipt of such written notice, deliver to the Indemnitee a written objection to such selection. Any objections referred to in this Section 6.6 may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of Independent Counsel and such objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis for such assertion. Indemnitee may petition the Court for a determination that the Corporation’s objection to the first or second selection of Independent Counsel is without a reasonable basis or for the appointment of Independent Counsel of a person selected by the Court.

Section 6.7 Procedures of Independent Counsel . If a Change of Control shall have occurred before the request for indemnification is sent by Indemnitee, Indemnitee shall be presumed (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article VI) to be entitled to indemnification upon submission of a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof, and thereafter the Corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome the presumption in reaching a determination contrary to the presumption. The presumption shall be used by Independent Counsel as a basis for a determination of entitlement to indemnification unless the Corporation provides information sufficient to overcome such presumption by clear and convincing evidence or the investigation, review and analysis of Independent Counsel convinces him or her by clear and convincing evidence that the presumption should not apply.

Except in the event that the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel, if the person or persons empowered under Section 6.5 or 6.6

-17-

hereof to determine entitlement to indemnification shall not have made and furnished to Indemnitee in writing a determination within 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification unless Indemnitee knowingly misrepresented a material fact in connection with the request for indemnification or such indemnification is prohibited by applicable law. The termination of any Proceeding or of any Matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article VI) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. A person who acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan of the Corporation shall be deemed to have acted in a manner not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.

For purposes of any determination hereunder, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, if his or her action is based on the records or books of account or other records of the Corporation or another enterprise or on information, opinions, reports or statements presented to him or her or to the Corporation by any of the Corporation’s officers, employees or Directors, or committees of the Board, or by any other person as to matters the person reasonably believes are in such other person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 6.7 shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, limited liability company, association, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise for which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this paragraph shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which an Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standards of conduct for determining entitlement to rights under this Article.

Section 6.8 Independent Counsel Expenses . The Corporation shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred acting pursuant to this Article VI and in any Proceeding to which it is a party or witness in respect of its investigation and written report and shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed. No Independent Counsel may serve if a timely objection has been made to his or her selection until a court has determined that such objection is without a reasonable basis.

-18-

Section 6.9 Adjudication . In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 6.5 or 6.6 hereof that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Article VI; (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof; (iii) Independent Counsel has not made and delivered a written opinion determining the request for indemnification (a) within 90 days after being appointed by the Court, (b) within 90 days after objections to his or her selection have been overruled by the Court or (c) within 90 days after the time for the Corporation or Indemnitee to object to his or her selection; or (iv) payment of indemnification is not made within five days after a determination of entitlement to indemnification has been made or is deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 6.5, 6.6 or 6.7 hereof, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by the Court of his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses. In the event that a determination shall have been made that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 6.9 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. If a Change of Control shall have occurred, in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 6.9, the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be. If a determination shall have been made or is deemed to have been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 6.9, or otherwise, unless Indemnitee knowingly misrepresented a material fact in connection with the request for indemnification, or such indemnification is prohibited by law.

The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 6.9 that the procedures and presumptions of this Article VI are not valid, binding and enforceable. If the Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 6.9, seeks a judicial adjudication to enforce his or her rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Article VI, and if he or she prevails therein, then Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Corporation, and shall be indemnified by the Corporation against, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in such judicial adjudication. If it shall be determined in such judicial adjudication that Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification or advancement of Expenses sought, then the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication or arbitration shall be prorated.

Section 6.10 Participation by the Corporation . With respect to any Proceeding: (a) the Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense; (b) except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Corporation (jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified) will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee; and (c) the Corporation shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Article VI for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. After receipt of notice from the Corporation to Indemnitee of the Corporation’s election to assume the defense thereof, the Corporation will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Article VI for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof other than as otherwise provided below. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his or her own counsel in such action, suit, proceeding or investigation but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Corporation of its assumption of the

-19-

defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Corporation, or Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there is a conflict of interest between the Corporation and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action, or the Corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel employed by Indemnitee shall be subject to indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Article VI. The Corporation shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought in the name of or on behalf of the Corporation or as to which Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there is a conflict of interest between the Corporation and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action. The Corporation shall not settle any action or claim in any manner which would impose any limitation or unindemnified penalty on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 6.11 Nonexclusivity of Rights . The rights of indemnification and advancement of Expenses as provided by this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled to under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of Stockholders or a resolution of Directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article VI or any provision hereof shall be effective as to any Indemnitee for acts, events and circumstances that occurred, in whole or in part, before such amendment, alteration or repeal. The provisions of this Article VI shall be binding upon the Corporation, its successors and assigns and shall continue as to an Indemnitee whose Corporate Status has ceased for any reason and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, administrators or personal representatives. Neither the provisions of this Article VI nor those of any agreement to which the Corporation is a party shall be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in this Article VI as having the right to receive indemnification or is not a party to any such agreement, but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the DGCL.

Section 6.12 Insurance and Subrogation . The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under applicable law.

The Corporation shall not be liable under this Article VI to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if, but only to the extent that, Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

In the event of any payment hereunder, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action reasonably requested by the Corporation to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Corporation to bring suit to enforce such rights.

Section 6.13 Severability . If any provision or provisions of this Article VI shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the validity,

-20-

legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and, to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article VI shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

Section 6.14 Certain Actions Where Indemnification Is Not Provided . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, no person shall be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Article VI with respect to any Proceeding, or any Matter therein, brought or made by such person against the Corporation.

Any communication required or permitted to the Corporation shall be addressed to the Secretary and any such communication to Indemnitee shall be addressed to Indemnitee’s address as shown on the Corporation’s records unless he or she specifies otherwise and shall be personally delivered, delivered by U.S. Mail, or delivered by commercial express overnight delivery service.

Whenever any notice is required to be given to any Stockholder or Director under the provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to that notice or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, will be equivalent to the giving of that notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting will constitute a waiver of notice of that meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Stockholders, the Board or any Board committee need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws so require.

Section 7.7 Resignations . Any Director or officer of the Corporation may resign at any time. Any such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified in that resignation, or, if that resignation does not specify any time, at the time of its receipt by the Chairman, the CEO or the Secretary. The acceptance of a resignation will not be necessary to make it effective, unless that resignation expressly so provides.

Section 7.8 Books, Reports and Records . The Corporation shall keep books and records of account and shall keep minutes of the proceedings of the Stockholders, the Board and each committee of the Board. Each Director and each member of any committee designated by the Board shall, in the performance of his or her duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith on the books of account or other records of the Corporation and on information, opinions, reports or statements presented to him or her or to the Corporation by any of the Corporation’s officers, employees or other Directors, or committees of the Board, or by any other person as to matters the Director or member reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or behalf of the Corporation.

Section 7.9 Facsimile Signatures . In addition to the provisions for the use of facsimile signatures elsewhere specifically authorized in these Bylaws, facsimile signatures of the Chairman, any other Director, or any officer or officers of the Corporation may be used whenever and as authorized by the Board.
