EXHIBIT 10.8
This Fourth Limited Waiver and Agreement dated as of August 8, 2014, (this "Waiver"), is entered into by CAL DIVE INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), the Subsidiaries of the Borrower party hereto, the lenders party to the Credit Agreement described below, and ABC FUNDING, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent").
INTRODUCTION
A. Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 9, 2014 (as modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"), among the Borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto (collectively, the "Lenders" and individually, a "Lender") and the Administrative Agent.
B. Section 7.11(a) of the Credit Agreement requires that the Borrower not permit the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to be less than 1.00 to 1.00 during the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2014 (the "FCCR Covenant"), and the Borrower has informed the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that it is not in compliance with the FCCR Covenant for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2014 (the "FCCR Covenant Default").
C. Section 7.11(c) of the Credit Agreement requires that the Borrower not permit the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio to be greater than 5.25 to 1.00 during the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2014 (the "Leverage Covenant"), and the Borrower has informed the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that it is not in compliance with the Leverage Covenant for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2014 (the "Leverage Covenant Default").
D. Section 7.11(d) of the Credit Agreement requires that the Borrower not permit Consolidated EBITDA for the four fiscal quarter period ending June 30, 2014 to be less than $30,000,000 (the "EBITDA Requirement"), and the Borrower has informed the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that it is not in compliance with the EBITDA Requirement for the four fiscal quarter period ending June 30, 2014 (the "EBITDA Requirement Default").
E. Section 7.20 of the Credit Agreement prohibits the Borrower from directly or indirectly, requesting Revolving Credit Loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) if the Borrower is not in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.11 of the Credit Agreement (the "Revolving Borrowing Requirement"), and the Borrower has informed the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that it may borrow one or more Revolving Credit Loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement on or before the Limited Waiver Expiration Date (as defined below) such that, after giving effect to such Credit Extension (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement), the aggregate Outstanding Amount (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) of all Revolving Credit Loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement), Swing Line Loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) and L/C Obligations (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) does not exceed $107,940,000 (the "Subject Revolving Borrowings").
F. Each of the FCCR Covenant Default, the Leverage Covenant Default and the EBITDA Requirement Default constitutes an Event of Default under Section 8.01(b) of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the "Financial Covenant Defaults").
G. The Borrower has informed the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that it is not in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 7.11(a), Section 7.11(b) and Section 7.11(c) of the First Lien Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2014 (collectively, the "First Lien Defaults"). The First Lien Defaults constitute Events of Default under Section 8.01(e) of the Credit Agreement (the "Cross-Defaults", and together with the Financial Covenant Defaults, the "Subject Defaults").
H. In connection with the foregoing, the Borrower has requested, and the Lenders have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Waiver, to waive the Subject Defaults and the Revolving Borrowing Requirement with respect to the Subject Revolving Borrowings, in each case, until September 30, 2014 (as such date may be adjusted pursuant to Section 2(h) below, the "Limited Waiver Expiration Date").

Any prepayment permitted pursuant to this Section 2(g) shall not be accompanied by a permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility.
