Section 1.5. Note Guarantee.

1.5.1 Guarantee.

(a) Subject to this Section 1.5.1, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

(i) the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantor will be obligated to pay the same immediately. The Guarantor agrees that its Note Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under its Note Guarantee are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes or the Trustee with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Note Guarantee will not be discharged with respect to the Notes except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture.

(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantor, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantor’s Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

(d) The Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders with respect to the Notes in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby with respect to the Notes. The Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI of the Base Indenture for the purposes of the Guarantor’s Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI of the Base Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of the Guarantor’s Note Guarantee.

1.5.2 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of the Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to its Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of the Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of the Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

1.5.3 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee. The terms of the Note Guarantee set forth in Section 1.5.1 do not require the Guarantor to evidence its Note Guarantee through any notation of such Note Guarantee endorsed by an Officer of the Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. This Second Supplemental Indenture will be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by one of its Officers.

The Note Guarantee set forth in Section 1.5.1 hereof will remain in full force and effect without any requirement to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.

If an Officer of the Guarantor whose signature is on this Second Supplemental Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates any Note, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Second Supplemental Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor.

1.5.4 Releases.

Upon legal defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to the Notes in accordance with Article VIII of the Base Indenture or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, the Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations with respect to the Notes under its Note Guarantee to the extent set forth in the Indenture.

If the Guarantor is not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 1.5.4 the Guarantor will remain liable for the full amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Notes and for the other obligations of the Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in this Section 1.5.

Section 1.6. Selection of Notes to be Redeemed. This Section 1.6 shall replace Section 3.2 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes only.

If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Certificated Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of Global Notes, Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary) unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements. The Trustee will not be liable for selections made by it as contemplated in this Section.

Section 1.7. Notice of Redemption.

Section 3.3 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended with respect to the Notes only by changing, in the first sentence thereof, the number “30” to the number “10”.

Section 1.8. Redemption Upon Changes in Tax Law. This Section 1.8 shall replace Section 3.10 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes only.

The Company or the Guarantor may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at its discretion at any time upon giving not fewer than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice to the Holders of such Notes (which notice will be irrevocable), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the date fixed by the Company or Guarantor, as applicable, for redemption (a “Tax Redemption Date”) and all Additional Amounts (if any) then due and which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise (subject to the right of Holders of such Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date and Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof), if on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of such Notes, the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, is or would be required to pay Additional Amounts, and the Company or Guarantor cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available to it (for avoidance of doubt, in the case of the Guarantor, by causing the payment to be made by the Company), and the requirement arises as a result of:

(a) any amendment to, or change in, or change in the enforcement or interpretation of, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of a Relevant Tax Jurisdiction which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Issue Date (or, if the applicable Relevant Tax Jurisdiction became a Relevant Tax Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, such later date), or

(b) any amendment to, or change in, an official interpretation or application of such laws, regulations or rulings (including by virtue of a holding, judgment, order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published administrative practice) which amendment or change becomes effective on or after the Issue Date (or, if the applicable Relevant Tax Jurisdiction became a Relevant Tax Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, such later date).

Neither the Company nor the Guarantor, as applicable, will give any such notice of redemption earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company or Guarantor, as applicable, would be obligated to make such payment or withholding if a payment in respect of the Notes was then due, and the obligation to pay Additional Amounts must be in effect at the time such notice is given. Prior to giving any notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, will deliver to the Trustee an opinion of independent tax counsel to the effect that there has been such amendment or change which would entitle the Company or the Guarantor to redeem such Notes hereunder. In addition, before the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, gives notice of redemption of such Notes as described above, it will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the Company or Guarantor, as applicable, cannot avoid its obligation to pay Additional Amounts by the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, taking reasonable measures available to it.

The Trustee will accept and shall be entitled to rely on such Officer’s Certificate and opinion of counsel as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions precedent as described above, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Notes.

The foregoing will also apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor person to the Company or the Guarantor is incorporated, organized or resident for tax purposes and any political subdivision thereof or therein.

Section 1.9. Amendments to Base Indenture.

1.9.1 Execution and Authentication. Pursuant to Section 9.1(7) of the Base Indenture, the first three paragraphs of Section 2.3 of the Base Indenture are hereby amended and restated with respect to the Notes and each other Series of Securities issued after the date hereof as follows:

An Officer of the Company shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual, facsimile or other electronic signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid.

A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual, facsimile or other electronic signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

1.9.2 Notices. Pursuant to Section 9.1(1) of the Base Indenture, the notice information for the Trustee in Section 10.1 of the Base Indenture shall be replaced in its entirety as follows:

Requests may be made to: Schlumberger Limited, 5599 San Felipe Street, 17^th Floor, Houston, Texas 77057 Attention: Vice President and Treasurer.

5. Optional Redemption. At the Company’s option, the Notes may be redeemed or purchased, in each case, in whole or in part at any time or from time to time prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes, as provided in Article III of the Base Indenture (as amended by the Second Supplemental Indenture), Section 1.2 of the Second Supplemental Indenture and in this Section 5.

Prior to March 26, 2030 (three months prior to their Maturity date), the Notes may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Company’s option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

(a) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes then outstanding, and

(b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on such Notes to be redeemed that would have been payable in respect of such Notes calculated as if the Maturity date of such Notes was March 26, 2030 (three months prior to their Maturity date) (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable treasury rate plus 30 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to (but not including) the redemption date.

“treasury rate” means, with respect to any redemption date:

(a) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designed “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the comparable treasury issue (if

A-5

no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining life (as defined below), yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the comparable treasury issue will be determined and the treasury rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month), or

(b) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the comparable treasury issue, calculated using a price for the comparable treasury issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the comparable treasury price for such redemption date.

The treasury rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing on March 26, 2030 (three months prior to their Maturity date), the Notes are redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to (but not including) the redemption date.

“comparable treasury issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by an independent investment banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term (“remaining life”) of the Notes to be redeemed (assuming that such Notes to be redeemed matured on March 26, 2030) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes (assuming that such Notes matured on March 26, 2030).

“comparable treasury price” means (1) the average of four reference treasury dealer quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest reference treasury dealer quotations, or (2) if the independent investment banker obtains fewer than four such reference treasury dealer quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“independent investment banker” means Citigroup Global Markets Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC or SG Americas Securities, LLC, or, if these firms are unwilling or unable to select the comparable treasury issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company.

“reference treasury dealer” means (1) Citigroup Global Markets Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC or SG Americas Securities, LLC and their respective successors, provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City (a “primary

A-6

treasury dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another primary treasury dealer, and (2) any other primary treasury dealer selected by the independent investment banker after consultation with the Company.

“reference treasury dealer quotations” means, with respect to each reference treasury dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the independent investment banker, of the bid and asked prices for the comparable treasury issue (express in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the independent investment banker at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no obligation to determine or calculate any rate, price or amount in respect of any optional redemption under the Indenture.

The Notes will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

6. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

7. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered Holders have rights under the Indenture.

8. Repayment to the Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon written request any excess money or Government Obligations (or proceeds therefrom) held by them at any time upon the written request of the Company.

Subject to the requirements of any applicable abandoned property laws, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal, premium (if any), interest or any Additional Amounts that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such payment shall have become due. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and the Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, those Holders may not, however, waive any Default or Event of Default in any payment on any Note.

The Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantee may be amended or supplemented, and waivers may be obtained, with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, such Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, such Notes, except a payment Default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantee may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, such Notes).

10. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default for the Company’s Notes occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(f) or (g) of the Base Indenture), the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may require the Company to pay immediately the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes. If an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.l(f) or (g) of the

A-8

Base Indenture occurs with respect to the Company (or with respect to the Guarantor), the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Company’s Notes will become immediately due and payable without any action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

11. Trustee May Hold Notes. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
