Mr. Mark Mey

Dear Mr. Mey,

This employment agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and Transocean Offshore Deepwater Drilling Inc. (“TODDI”) supersedes all prior arrangements and the terms and conditions of your existing employment agreement with you and TODDI dated May 27, 2015. All references in this Agreement to “Transocean” or “Company” shall mean Transocean Ltd. and its affiliates.

Effectiveness: This Agreement is effective September 1, 2016, subject to the approval of the terms of this Agreement by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Transocean Ltd (the “Board”).

Title: You will continue to serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Transocean Ltd.

Reporting: You will continue report to the President and Chief Executive Officer of Transocean Ltd.

Remuneration and other Benefits: The compensation and benefits described in this Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the underlying policies and/or plan documents and award agreements governing such compensation or benefits. In the event of any discrepancy, the underlying policies, plan documents or award agreements prevail.

Base Salary: Your annual gross base salary continues to be $760,000 and is paid on the Company’s U.S. Dollar payroll in accordance with normal Transocean payroll policy (the “Base Salary”). Your annual gross base salary will be reviewed each year by the Committee and communicated to you in writing.

Performance Award and Cash Bonus Plan of Transocean Ltd.: In addition to your Base Salary, you will be eligible to participate in the Performance Award and Cash Bonus Plan or any successor plan (the “AIP”) in accordance with its applicable

terms and to the extent determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Your 2016 annual bonus target will be 85% of your actual Base Salary earned in 2016. Your annual bonus target is not a promise, right or entitlement to receive any bonus or a bonus of a certain amount. Rather, you will have an opportunity to earn a percentage of your annual bonus target based on Transocean’s performance relative to a set of pre-determined performance metrics, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. This means that your actual bonus may range from 0%-200% of your annual bonus target as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The annual bonus will be paid in accordance with the terms of the AIP. Your actual annual bonus target and the terms of the AIP may change over time as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and any changes will be communicated to you in writing. For the avoidance of doubt, the Committee retains absolute discretion in determining your bonus and may rely on factors relating specifically to your performance which may result in a bonus calculated differently than for other AIP participants.

Benefits: You will be eligible to participate in the benefit programs provided for U.S. National Resident employees.

Clawback: You agree that any compensation paid for your service with the Company under this Agreement shall be subject to forfeiture or reimbursement by you upon first request by the Company if shareholder approval is not obtained at the general meeting of shareholders of the Company to which the respective proposal of the Board regarding the compensation for the Company’s Executive Management Team has been submitted.

Payment of Taxes: You are responsible for payment of any taxes and the filing of any tax returns required pursuant to your employment with

Transocean. You will be required to annually submit certain information to Transocean’s current tax advisors.

The Company undertakes to use commercially reasonable efforts to structure and deliver the compensation and benefits outlined in this Agreement in such a way as to avoid taxation and penalties under Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Transocean shall not be responsible for any adverse tax consequences to which you may be subject, including any taxation or other penalties under Section 409A.
