1.    Grant of Awards. The Company hereby grants to the Grantee Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) as set forth herein, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan. RSUs granted under this Agreement that are not subject to the achievement of performance goals are referred to herein as “Time-Vesting RSUs.” RSUs granted under this Agreement that are subject to the achievement of performance goals are referred to herein as “Performance RSUs.” This Agreement shall constitute the Award Terms for purposes of the Plan.

2.    Form of Payment and Vesting.

(a)    Time-Vesting RSUs. Each Time-Vesting RSU granted under this Agreement shall, subject to the vesting schedule set forth above and the other terms herein, represent the right to receive a payment of one share of Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share in the aggregate on each Vesting Date). Any Time-Vesting RSUs that become vested shall thereafter be payable in accordance with Section 2(c).

(b)    Performance RSUs. Each Performance RSU granted under this Agreement shall, subject to the attainment of certain performance goals set forth in this Agreement and the other terms herein, represent the right to receive a payment of one share of Stock. The attached Schedule A specifies the financial performance goals (“Performance Goals”) required to be attained during the performance period designated above (the “Performance Period”) in order for the Performance RSUs to become eligible to vest, provided that, in determining the number of Performance RSUs eligible to vest, the Committee shall at all times during or after the Performance Period have the right in its sole discretion to reduce or eliminate the number of Performance RSUs that would otherwise be eligible to vest as a result of the performance as measured against the Performance Goal (“Negative Discretion”). Any Performance RSUs that vest in accordance with this Agreement shall thereafter be payable in accordance with Section 2(c). Any Performance RSUs that do not become eligible to vest pursuant to this Agreement or that otherwise do not vest pursuant to this Agreement shall be immediately forfeited.

(c)    Timing and Manner of Payment after Vesting of RSUs.

(i)    No later than two and one-half (2 ¹⁄₂) months following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the actual level of attainment of the Performance Goal for the Performance Period. On the basis of the Committee’s determination, the Committee will determine the number of Performance RSUs eligible to vest as calculated in accordance with the percentile matrix set forth in Schedule A, subject to the Committee’s Negative Discretion and rounded down to the nearest whole share. The number of Performance RSUs determined by the Committee to be eligible to vest through such process shall constitute the number of Performance RSUs in which the Grantee shall vest under this Award.

(ii)    With regard to Performance RSUs subject to this Award, the “Vesting Date” shall be the date that the Committee determines the vesting of Performance RSUs in accordance with this Section 2(c). With regard to Time-Vesting RSUs subject to this Award, the “Vesting Date” shall be the applicable date set forth for such Time-Vesting RSUs on the first page of this Agreement.

(iii)    Within thirty (30) days following each Vesting Date of a Time-Vesting RSU pursuant to this Section 2(c) and within two and one-half (2 ¹⁄₂) months following the end of the Performance Period with regard to vested Performance RSUs, the Company shall deliver to the account of the Grantee a number of shares of Stock (either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as determined by the Company in its discretion) equal to the number of RSUs subject to this Award that vest on the applicable Vesting Date, less withholding pursuant to Section 7(e) of the Plan, unless such RSUs terminated or are forfeited prior to the applicable Vesting Date pursuant to this Agreement or the Plan or unless the Company has elected in its discretion to settle such vested RSUs in cash in lieu

2

of Stock. The Company’s obligation to deliver shares of Stock or otherwise make payment with respect to vested RSUs is subject to the condition precedent that the Grantee or other person entitled under the Plan to receive any shares of Stock with respect to the vested RSUs deliver to the Company any representations or other documents or assurances required pursuant to Section 7(j) of the Plan. Neither the Grantee nor any of the Grantee’s successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives shall have any further rights or interests with respect to any RSUs that are paid or that terminate pursuant to this Agreement or the Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to issue shares of Stock in payment of the RSUs unless such issuance and such payment shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and the requirements of any applicable stock exchange.

(iv)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 3 of this Agreement, the vesting schedules in this Agreement require continued employment or service with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries through the applicable Vesting Date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable portion of this Award and the rights and benefits under this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3 of this Agreement, employment or service for only a portion of the vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Grantee to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or services as provided in this Agreement or under the Plan.

(v)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to settle any vested RSU by cash payment in lieu of Stock. If the Company elects to settle any RSU in cash, the amount of cash to be paid by the Company in settlement shall be determined by multiplying (a) the number of vested RSUs to be settled in cash, less any withholding pursuant to Section 7(e) of the Plan, by (b) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock as of the applicable Vesting Date.

3.    Termination of Award. This Award is subject to termination as follows:

(a)    Termination of Employment by the Company without Cause. Upon termination of the Grantee’s employment by the Company or its Subsidiary without Cause on or after [2 years after Grant Date] but prior to the Vesting Date for Performance RSUs, then this Award of Performance RSUs shall remain outstanding and the number of Performance RSUs to vest shall be determined in accordance with the process set forth in Section 2, provided that the resulting number of vested Performance RSUs will be reduced by 50% (and the remainder of this Award of Performance RSUs will be forfeited).

(b)     Termination of Employment On Account of Retirement. Upon the Grantee’s retirement (as defined below) prior to the Vesting Date for Performance RSUs, then this Award of Performance RSUs shall remain outstanding and the number of Performance RSUs to vest shall be determined in accordance with the process set forth in Section 2, provided that the resulting number of vested Performance RSUs will be reduced pro rata to correspond with the portion of the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on [last day of Performance Period] that has elapsed as of the effective date of the Grantee’s retirement (and the remainder of this Award of Performance RSUs will be forfeited).

3

For purposes of this Section 3(b), “retirement” means the termination of employment with the Company and each of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates by the Grantee on or after reaching age 63; provided that the Grantee’s employment is not terminated for Cause and provided further that such termination will constitute a retirement for these purposes only if, at least one year prior to the Grantee’s desired retirement date, the Grantee delivers a written notice (by any means, including by email) to the VP - Human Resources or other employee within the Human Resources Department of the Company that (x) indicates the Grantee intends to retire and (y) specifies an intended retirement date.

(c)    Other Termination. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 3(a) or 3(b) above, if the Grantee’s employment with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries terminates prior to a Vesting Date for any reason, the unvested portion of this Award shall be forfeited as of the date of such termination of employment.

4.    Dividend and Voting Rights.

(a)    Limitation on Rights. The RSUs are bookkeeping entries only. Notwithstanding Section 5(b) of the Plan, the Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, no dividend rights (except as expressly provided in Section 4(b) below with respect to Dividend Equivalent Rights) and no voting rights with respect to the RSUs or any shares of Stock underlying or issuable in respect of the RSUs until such shares of Stock are actually issued to and held of record by the Grantee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding Section 5(b) of the Plan, no adjustments will be made for dividends or other rights of a holder for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance of the stock certificate or book entry evidencing such shares of Stock (except as expressly provided in Section 4(b) below with respect to Dividend Equivalent Rights).

(b)    Dividend Equivalent Rights Distributions. As of any date that the Company pays a special cash dividend on its Stock prior to vesting of any RSUs subject to this Award, the Company shall credit the Grantee with a dollar amount equal to (i) the per share special cash dividend paid by the Company on its Stock on such date, multiplied by (ii) the total number of unvested RSUs subject to this Award that are outstanding on the record date for that dividend (a “Dividend Equivalent Right”). With respect to Performance RSUs, the number of RSUs that are outstanding shall be based on the target number of Performance RSUs. Any Dividend Equivalent Rights credited pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(b) shall be subject to the same vesting, payment and other terms, conditions and restrictions as the original RSUs to which they relate; provided, however, that the amount of any vested Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be paid to the Grantee only in cash. No crediting of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be made pursuant to this Section 4(b) with respect to any RSUs that, as of the record date for that dividend, have either been paid pursuant to Section 2(c)(v) or have terminated or been forfeited pursuant to this Agreement. No crediting of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be made pursuant to this Section 4(b) with respect to any regular or ordinary cash dividends.

5.    RSU Award Subject to Plan. This Award is granted under and subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and

4

the Plan, the Plan shall control unless specifically stated otherwise in this Agreement. In the event of any ambiguity in this Agreement, any term that is not defined in this Agreement, or any matters as to which this Agreement is silent, the Plan shall govern.

The Grantee agrees that, during the Performance Period and at all times thereafter, the Grantee shall not reveal or utilize Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) that the Grantee acquired during the course of or as a result of the Grantee’s employment with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries and that relates to (x) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (y) Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ customers, employees, agents or vendors. The Grantee acknowledges that all such Confidential Information is commercially valuable and is the property of the Company.

For purposes hereof, “Confidential Information” shall mean information, knowledge or data (whether or not a trade secret or protected by laws pertaining to intellectual property and including, without limitation, information relating to data, finances, marketing, pricing, profit margins, claims, legal matters, loss control, marketing and business plans and strategies, software, processing, vendors, administrators, customers or prospective customers, products, brokers and employees), other than information, knowledge or data that (x) has previously been disclosed to the public, or is in the public domain, other than as a result of the Grantee’s breach of this Section 6(a) or other obligation of confidentiality, or (y) is known or generally available to the public.

(b)    Solicitation of Employees. The Grantee covenants and agrees that during the Grantee’s employment and for a period of two (2) years after the termination of the Grantee’s employment, whether such termination occurs at the insistence of the Company or the Grantee (for whatever reason), the Grantee shall not, individually or jointly with others, directly or indirectly:

(i)    recruit, hire, encourage, or attempt to recruit or hire, alone or by assisting others, any employees of the Company or former employees of the Company with whom the Grantee worked, had business contact, or about whom the Grantee gained non-public or Confidential Information (hereinafter, “Company’s employees or former employees”);

5

(ii)    contact or communicate with Company’s employees or former employees for the purpose of inducing, assisting, encouraging and/or facilitating Company’s employees or former employees to terminate their employment with the Company or find employment or work with another person or entity;

For purposes of this covenant, “former employees” shall refer to employees who are not employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at the time of the attempted recruiting or hiring, but were employed by, or working for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at any time in the six (6) months prior to the time of the attempted recruiting or hiring and/or interference.

(c)    Competition. The Grantee covenants and agrees that during the Grantee’s employment and for a period of one (1) year after the termination of the Grantee’s employment, whether such termination occurs at the insistence of the Company or the Grantee (for whatever reason), the Grantee shall not, individually or jointly with others, directly or indirectly, perform services for, prepare or take steps to prepare to perform services for, or otherwise have any involvement with (other than in connection with performing services pursuant to Grantee’s employment), in each case, whether as an officer, director, partner, consultant, security holder, owner, employee, independent contractor or otherwise, any entity that competes (whether directly or indirectly) with the Company or its Subsidiaries in the Business (as hereinafter defined) anywhere in the world as of the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries (any such entity, a “Competitor”); provided, however, that the Grantee may in any event own up to a 2% passive ownership interest in any public entity or through a private, non-operating investment vehicle and may become employed by or otherwise affiliated with a Competitor if the Grantee works in a business unit thereof that does not compete with the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the Business and the Grantee does not communicate about the Business with any employee in a business unit of such Competitor that does so compete with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. For purposes hereof, the term “Business” shall mean the offshore oil and gas drilling business. Upon the written request of the Grantee, the Company’s President will reasonably determine whether a business or other entity constitutes a “Competitor” for purposes of this Section 6(c); provided that the President may require the Grantee to provide such information as the Company reasonably determines to be necessary to make such determination; and provided, further that the current and continuing effectiveness of such determination may be conditioned upon the accuracy of such information, and upon such other factors as the Company may reasonably determine.

(d)    Equitable Relief. The Grantee agrees that any actual or threatened breach of covenants set forth in this Section 6 could cause the Company irreparable harm. Therefore, in the event of any actual or threatened breach by the Grantee, the Company shall be entitled to seek and obtain, through any court with jurisdiction over the matter and the Grantee, temporary, preliminary and/or permanent equitable/injunctive relief restraining the Grantee from violating such provisions and to seek, in addition, money damages, together with any and all other remedies available under applicable law.

(e)    Forfeiture for Breach. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if the Grantee breaches or otherwise fails to comply with any of the obligations contained in this Section 6, as applicable, in addition to all rights the Company and its Subsidiaries have under this Agreement and any other agreement, at law or in equity, any and all RSUs that have not become vested and settled before such breach or failure to comply shall expire at that time, may not become vested or settled after such time and will be forfeited at such time without any payment therefor.

7.    Section 409A Compliance. It is the intention of the Company and the Grantee that all payments, benefits and entitlements received by the Grantee under this Agreement be provided in a manner that does not impose any additional taxes, interest or penalties on the Grantee with respect to such payments, benefits and entitlements under Section 409A of the Code, and its implementing regulations (“Section 409A”), and the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intent.
