Corporation Act, or MBCA, the personal monetary liability of a director to us and our shareholders for breach of fiduciary duty of care as a director, except in certain circumstances. If a director of Helix were to breach such fiduciary duty of care
in performing duties as a director, neither we nor our shareholders could recover monetary damages from the director, and the only course of action available to our shareholders would be equitable remedies, such as an action to enjoin or rescind a
transaction involving a breach of the fiduciary duty of care. To the extent certain claims against directors are limited to equitable remedies, this provision of our articles of incorporation may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation
against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty of care. Additionally, equitable remedies may not be effective in many situations. If a shareholder&#146;s only remedy is to enjoin the completion of the board of directors&#146; action, this
remedy would be ineffective if the shareholder does not become aware of a transaction or event until after it has been completed. In such a situation, such shareholder would not have effective remedy against the directors. </FONT></P>

of the former or present official capacity of the person, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding if certain standards are met including that the person has
acted in good faith. &#147;Proceeding&#148; means a threatened, pending or completed civil, criminal, administrative, arbitration or investigative proceeding, including one by or in the right of the corporation. Our by-laws contain detailed terms
regarding such rights of indemnification and reference is made thereto for a complete statement of such indemnification rights. To the extent our by-laws with respect to any indemnification provision are invalidated, then the remaining

provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the claim has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

charges&#148; represent interest incurred (whether expensed or capitalized), amortization of debt expense and that portion of rental expense on operating leases deemed to be the equivalent of interest. You should read the ratio of earnings to fixed

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have computed the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred dividends for each of the following periods on a consolidated basis.
&#147;Earnings&#148; consist of pretax income (loss) from continuing operations before adjustments for noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries or income or loss from equity investees, plus distributed income of equity investees, plus
fixed charges (excluding capitalized interest). &#147;Fixed charges&#148; represent interest incurred (whether expensed or capitalized), amortization of debt expense and that portion of rental expense on operating leases deemed to be the equivalent
of interest. &#147;Preferred Dividends&#148; represent the amount of pre-tax earnings that is required to pay dividends on outstanding preferred securities. You should read the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred dividends in
conjunction with our consolidated and condensed financial statements included in our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>
