Item 1.01              Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 2, 2011, Cameron International Corporation (the “Company”) completed the public offering of $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.50% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”), $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.95% Senior Notes due 2041 (the “2041 Notes”) and $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Floating Rate Notes” and, together with the 2021 Notes and the 2041 Notes, the “Notes”) pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and RBS Securities Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein. The Company filed a copy of the Underwriting Agreement as Exhibit 1.1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 25, 2011. The issuance and sale of the Notes were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to purchase or redeem the Company’s 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 and for general corporate purposes.

 

The Company issued the Notes pursuant to the Indenture, dated June 26, 2008 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented with respect to the 2021 Notes by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated June 2, 2011 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”), as further supplemented with respect to the 2041 Notes by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated June 2, 2011 (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture”), and as further supplemented with respect to the Floating Rate Notes by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated June 2, 2011 (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the Third Supplemental Indenture and the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), in each case between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee.

 

The Company will pay interest on the 2021 Notes and the 2041 Notes on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2011.  The 2021 Notes will mature on June 1, 2021 and the 2041 Notes will mature on June 1, 2041.  The Company may redeem some of the 2021 Notes and the 2041 Notes from time to time or all of the 2021 Notes and the 2041 Notes at any time at the redemption prices set forth in the Third Supplemental Indenture and the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, respectively.

 

The Company will pay interest on the Floating Rate Notes on March 2, June 2, September 2 and December 2 of each year, beginning on September 2, 2011 at an initial rate of 3-month LIBOR, determined as of two London business days prior to June 2, 2011, which rate will be reset quarterly on March 2, June 2, September 2 and December 2 of each year, plus 0.93% per annum, as specified in the Fifth Supplemental Indenture.  The Floating Rate Notes will mature on June 2, 2014.  The Floating Rate Notes are not redeemable by the Company prior to their maturity.

 

The holders of the Notes may require the Company to redeem the Notes if the Notes are rated below investment grade following certain events that constitute a change of control of the Company.  The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank equally with all of the Company’s other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt.  The Notes are not guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries and will effectively rank junior to any secured debt of the Company and all existing and future debt and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries.

 

The Notes offering was made pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-151838), which became effective upon its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 23, 2008. A Prospectus Supplement dated May 25, 2011 relating to the Notes and supplementing the Prospectus dated June 23, 2008 was filed with the SEC on May 27, 2011 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) under the Securities Act.

 

Copies of the Base Indenture, the Third Supplemental Indenture, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture are attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, Exhibit 4.2, Exhibit 4.3 and Exhibit 4.4, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Indenture in this Current Report on Form 8-K is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Indenture.

THIS THIRD SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE dated as of June 2, 2011 (this “Supplemental Indenture”) between Cameron International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or the “Issuer”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”),

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, the Issuer has heretofore entered into an Indenture, dated as of June 26, 2008 (the “Original Indenture”), with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee;

 

WHEREAS, the Original Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, is herein called the “Indenture”;

 

WHEREAS, under Sections 201, 301 and 901 of the Original Indenture, the form and terms of a new series of Securities may at any time be established by a supplemental indenture executed by the Issuer and the Trustee;

 

WHEREAS, the Issuer proposes to create under the Indenture a new series of Securities; and

 

WHEREAS, all conditions necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture and to make it a valid and binding obligation of the Issuer have been done or performed.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements and obligations set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I
ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW SERIES

 

Section 1.01.         Establishment of New Series.

(e)           No Additional Amounts shall be payable in relation to the Notes.

 

(f)            If and to the extent that the provisions of the Original Indenture are duplicative of, or in contradiction with, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture shall govern.

 

ARTICLE II
DEFINITIONS

Bankruptcy Act” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar United States federal or state law (or any similar foreign law) for the relief of debtors.

 

The term “capital stock” of any Person means and includes any and all shares, rights to purchase, warrants or options (whether or not currently exercisable), participations or other equivalents of or interests in (however designated) the equity (which includes, but is not limited to, common stock, preferred stock and partnership and joint venture interests) of such Person (excluding any debt securities that are convertible into, or exchangeable for, such equity).

 

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the rating on the Notes is lowered by each of the Rating Agencies and the Notes are rated below Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the first public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the consummation of a Change of Control (which period shall be extended following the consummation of a Change of Control so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies);  provided that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if any of the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply does not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event).

 

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:

 

(1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger, amalgamation, arrangement or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and those of the Subsidiaries of the Company taken as a whole to any “person” or “group” (as those terms are

 

2



 

used for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or one or more of the Subsidiaries of the Company;

 

(2) the consummation of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any merger, amalgamation, arrangement or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of a majority of the then outstanding Voting Stock of the Company, measured by voting power rather than number of shares;

 

(3) the Company consolidates, amalgamates or enters into an arrangement with, or merges with or into, any Person, or any Person consolidates, amalgamates or enters into an arrangement with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction or series of transactions in which any of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company or the Voting Stock of such other Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of Voting Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving or resulting Person (including any newly formed holding company that owns or controls at least a majority of the Voting Stock of the Company or such other Person) immediately after giving effect to such transaction;

 

(4) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company is not comprised of Continuing Directors; or

 

(5) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be considered to be a Change of Control under clause (2) above if (a) the Company becomes a direct or indirect Wholly Owned Subsidiary of a holding company and (b) (y) immediately following that transaction, the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of the holding company are substantially the same as the holders of the Voting Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to that transaction or (z) the shares of Voting Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the holding company immediately after giving effect to such transaction.

 

“Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.

 

“Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Company’s Board of Directors who (1) was a member of such Board of Directors on the date of the issuance of the Notes; or (2) was nominated for election, elected or appointed to such Board of Directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination, election or appointment (either by a specific vote or by approval of our proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director).

 

3



 

“Global Security” or “Global Note” means a Note that is executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction, all in accordance with the Indenture, which shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and which shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all the Outstanding Notes or any portion thereof.

“Issue Date” means the date on which the Notes are initially issued under the Indenture.

 

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service Inc., or any successor to the rating agency business thereof.

 

“Notes” has the meaning assigned to it in Section 1.01(a) hereof, and includes both the Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes.

“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of McGraw-Hill, Inc., or any successor to the rating agency business thereof.

 

“Voting Stock” means, with respect to any Person, capital stock of any class or kind the holders of which are ordinarily, in the absence of contingencies, entitled to vote for the election of directors (or persons performing similar functions) of such Person, even if the right so to vote has been suspended by the happening of such a contingency.

(a)           Article Ten of the Original Indenture is hereby supplemented, but only in relation to the Notes, by the addition of the following new Section 1010 at the end of Article Ten:

 

Section 1010.  Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon Change of Control Repurchase Event.

 

(1)  Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless the Company has exercised its right pursuant to the provisions of numbered paragraph 5 on the reverse side of the form of Note set forth in Exhibit A to redeem the Notes, the Company shall make an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (in amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).

 

(2)  Within 30 days following the consummation of any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to the consummation of any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of an impending Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by the Notes and described in the notice. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

 

(3)  The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 1010, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

 

1.     Interest; Additional Interest.  Cameron International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 4.50% per annum from June 2, 2011 until maturity.  The Issuer shall pay interest semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each such year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”).  Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a Regular Record Date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be December 1, 2011.  The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Act) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the same rate; and it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Act) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

 


(2)  To be included only if the Note is issued in global form.

 

A-2



 

2.     Method of Payment.  The Issuer shall pay interest on the Notes (except Defaulted Interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the May 15 or November 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 307 of the Original Indenture with respect to Defaulted Interest, and the Issuer shall pay principal (and premium, if any) of the Notes upon surrender thereof to the Trustee or a Paying Agent on or after the Stated Maturity thereof.  The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose (which initially is c/o Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, 201 Main Street, Suite 301, Fort Worth, Texas 76102) or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, (a) each Global Security and (b) all other Notes aggregating at least $1,000,000 in principal amount the Holder of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the paying agent to an account in the United States on or prior to the applicable record date.  Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

 

3.     Paying Agent and Registrar.  Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Security Registrar.  The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Security Registrar without notice to any Holder.  The Issuer may act in any such capacity.

 

4.     Indenture.  The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of June 26, 2008 (the “Original Indenture”), as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 2, 2011 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”) between the Issuer and the Trustee.  The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb).  The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms.  To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.  The Notes are the obligation of the Issuer, initially in aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000.  The Issuer may issue an unlimited principal amount of Additional Notes under the Indenture.  Any such Additional Notes that are actually issued shall be treated as issued and outstanding Notes (and as the same series (with identical terms other than with respect to the issue date, issue price and first payment of interest) as the initial Notes for the purposes indicated in Section 3.02 of the Supplemental Indenture).

 

5.     Optional Redemption.  (a)  At its option, the Issuer may choose to redeem all or any portion of the Notes, at once or from time to time.

 

(b)           To redeem the Notes prior to March 1, 2021, the Issuer must pay a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date)

 

A-3



 

from the Redemption Date to June 1, 2021 computed by discounting such payments to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a rate equal to the sum of the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 25 basis points, plus in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). To redeem the Notes on or after March 1, 2021, the Issuer must pay a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

 

For purposes of determining the Redemption Price, the following definitions shall apply:

 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed 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 a comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed.

 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, for any Redemption Date, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date.

 

“Independent Investment Banker”  means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.

 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated or their affiliates which are primary U.S. government securities dealers, and their respective successors;  provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

 

“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 (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual or equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming 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.

 

A-4



 

6.             Mandatory Redemption.  Except as set forth in Section 5.01 of the Supplemental Indenture, the Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes or to repurchase them at the option of the Holders.

 

7.             Notice of Redemption.  Notice of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.  Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.  On and after the Redemption Date interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption and with respect to which the Redemption Price has been paid.

 

8.     Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.  The Notes are in registered form without coupons 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 Security Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes or other governmental charges imposed in relation thereto.

 

9.     Persons Deemed Owners.  The registered Holder of a Note shall be treated as its owner for all purposes.

 

10.   Amendment, Supplement and Waiver.  Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities of each series affected thereby, any existing default relating to the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes, and the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities may on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities waive any other default under the Indenture.  Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture may be amended or supplemented for any of the purposes set forth in Section 901 of the Indenture, including to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company herein and in the Notes, to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights under the Indenture of any Holder of the Notes in any material respect, to comply with the requirements of the Commission to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, to evidence or provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture of a successor or additional Trustee, to add to the covenants of the Issuer or any additional Events of Default, to secure the Notes or to establish the form or terms of any other series of Securities.

 

11.   Events of Defaults and Acceleration.  Events of Default with respect to the Notes include: (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes when due at Stated Maturity, upon redemption or otherwise; (iii) default in the performance or breach of any covenant or warranty of the Company in the Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty

 

A-5



 

referred to in clause (i) or (ii) or included in the Indenture for the sole benefit of a series of Securities other than the Notes), and continuance of such default for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected thereby a written notice specifying such default and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” under the Indenture; and (iv) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to the Issuer.  If any Event of Default referred to in clause (i) or (ii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable.  If an Event of Default referred to in clause (iii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities of all series affected by such default, including the Notes, may declare all such Securities to be due and payable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default referred to in clause (iv), all Outstanding Securities shall become due and payable without further action or notice.  Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture.

 

12.   Authentication.  This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

THIS FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE dated as of June 2, 2011 (this “Supplemental Indenture”) between Cameron International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or the “Issuer”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”),

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, the Issuer has heretofore entered into an Indenture, dated as of June 26, 2008 (the “Original Indenture”), with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee;

 

WHEREAS, the Original Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, is herein called the “Indenture”;

 

WHEREAS, under Sections 201, 301 and 901 of the Original Indenture, the form and terms of a new series of Securities may at any time be established by a supplemental indenture executed by the Issuer and the Trustee;

 

WHEREAS, the Issuer proposes to create under the Indenture a new series of Securities; and

 

WHEREAS, all conditions necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture and to make it a valid and binding obligation of the Issuer have been done or performed.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements and obligations set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I
ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW SERIES

 

Section 1.01.         Establishment of New Series.

(e)           No Additional Amounts shall be payable in relation to the Notes.

 

(f)            If and to the extent that the provisions of the Original Indenture are duplicative of, or in contradiction with, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture shall govern.

 

ARTICLE II
DEFINITIONS

Bankruptcy Act” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar United States federal or state law (or any similar foreign law) for the relief of debtors.

 

The term “capital stock” of any Person means and includes any and all shares, rights to purchase, warrants or options (whether or not currently exercisable), participations or other equivalents of or interests in (however designated) the equity (which includes, but is not limited to, common stock, preferred stock and partnership and joint venture interests) of such Person (excluding any debt securities that are convertible into, or exchangeable for, such equity).

 

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the rating on the Notes is lowered by each of the Rating Agencies and the Notes are rated below Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the first public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the consummation of a Change of Control (which period shall be extended following the consummation of a Change of Control so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies);  provided that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if any of the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply does not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event).

 

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:

(2) the consummation of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any merger, amalgamation, arrangement or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of a majority of the then outstanding Voting Stock of the Company, measured by voting power rather than number of shares;

 

(3) the Company consolidates, amalgamates or enters into an arrangement with, or merges with or into, any Person, or any Person consolidates, amalgamates or enters into an arrangement with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction or series of transactions in which any of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company or the Voting Stock of such other Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of Voting Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving or resulting Person (including any newly formed holding company that owns or controls at least a majority of the Voting Stock of the Company or such other Person) immediately after giving effect to such transaction;

 

(4) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company is not comprised of Continuing Directors; or

 

(5) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

“Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.

 

“Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Company’s Board of Directors who (1) was a member of such Board of Directors on the date of the issuance of the Notes; or (2) was nominated for election, elected or appointed to such Board of Directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination, election or appointment (either by a specific vote or by approval of our proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director).

 

3



 

“Global Security” or “Global Note” means a Note that is executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction, all in accordance with the Indenture, which shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and which shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all the Outstanding Notes or any portion thereof.

Section 5.01.         Covenants of the Company.

 

(a)           Article Ten of the Original Indenture is hereby supplemented, but only in relation to the Notes, by the addition of the following new Section 1010 at the end of Article Ten:

 

Section 1010.  Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon Change of Control Repurchase Event.

 

(1)  Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless the Company has exercised its right pursuant to the provisions of numbered paragraph 5 on the reverse side of the form of Note set forth in Exhibit A to redeem the Notes, the Company shall make an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (in amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).

 

(2)  Within 30 days following the consummation of any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to the consummation of any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of an impending Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by the Notes and described in the notice. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

 

(3)  The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 1010, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not

 

6



 

be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 1010 by virtue of such conflict.

 

(4)  On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

 

(i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of the Notes (in amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

 

(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn; and

 

(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted, together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.

 

(5)  The Paying Agent for the Notes shall promptly mail to each Holder of properly tendered Notes the repurchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided, that each new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 above that amount.

 

(6)  The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.  In the event that such third party terminates or defaults on its Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to make a Change of Control Offer treating the date of such termination or default by such third party as though it were the date of the Change of Control Repurchase Event.

 

ARTICLE VI

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

 

1.     Interest; Additional Interest.  Cameron International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 5.95% per annum from June 2, 2011 until maturity.  The Issuer shall pay interest semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each such year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”).  Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a Regular Record Date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be December 1, 2011.  The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Act) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the same rate; and it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Act) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

 


(2)  To be included only if the Note is issued in global form.

 

A-2



 

2.     Method of Payment.  The Issuer shall pay interest on the Notes (except Defaulted Interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the May 15 or November 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 307 of the Original Indenture with respect to Defaulted Interest, and the Issuer shall pay principal (and premium, if any) of the Notes upon surrender thereof to the Trustee or a Paying Agent on or after the Stated Maturity thereof.  The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose (which initially is c/o Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, 201 Main Street, Suite 301, Fort Worth, Texas 76102) or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, (a) each Global Security and (b) all other Notes aggregating at least $1,000,000 in principal amount the Holder of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the paying agent to an account in the United States on or prior to the applicable record date.  Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

 

3.     Paying Agent and Registrar.  Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Security Registrar.  The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Security Registrar without notice to any Holder.  The Issuer may act in any such capacity.

 

4.     Indenture.  The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of June 26, 2008 (the “Original Indenture”), as supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 2, 2011 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”) between the Issuer and the Trustee.  The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb).  The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms.  To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.  The Notes are the obligation of the Issuer, initially in aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000.  The Issuer may issue an unlimited principal amount of Additional Notes under the Indenture.  Any such Additional Notes that are actually issued shall be treated as issued and outstanding Notes (and as the same series (with identical terms other than with respect to the issue date, issue price and first payment of interest) as the initial Notes for the purposes indicated in Section 3.02 of the Supplemental Indenture).

 

5.     Optional Redemption.  (a)  At its option, the Issuer may choose to redeem all or any portion of the Notes, at once or from time to time.

 

(b)           To redeem the Notes prior to December 1, 2040, the Issuer must pay a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date)

 

A-3



 

from the Redemption Date to June 1, 2041 computed by discounting such payments to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a rate equal to the sum of the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 25 basis points, plus in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). To redeem the Notes on or after December 1, 2040, the Issuer must pay a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

 

For purposes of determining the Redemption Price, the following definitions shall apply:

 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed 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 a comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed.

 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, for any Redemption Date, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date.

 

“Independent Investment Banker”  means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.

 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated or their affiliates which are primary U.S. government securities dealers, and their respective successors;  provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

 

“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 (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual or equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming 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.

 

A-4



 

6.             Mandatory Redemption.  Except as set forth in Section 5.01 of the Supplemental Indenture, the Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes or to repurchase them at the option of the Holders.

 

7.             Notice of Redemption.  Notice of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.  Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.  On and after the Redemption Date interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption and with respect to which the Redemption Price has been paid.

 

8.     Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.  The Notes are in registered form without coupons 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 Security Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes or other governmental charges imposed in relation thereto.

 

9.     Persons Deemed Owners.  The registered Holder of a Note shall be treated as its owner for all purposes.

 

10.   Amendment, Supplement and Waiver.  Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities of each series affected thereby, any existing default relating to the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes, and the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities may on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities waive any other default under the Indenture.  Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture may be amended or supplemented for any of the purposes set forth in Section 901 of the Indenture, including to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company herein and in the Notes, to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights under the Indenture of any Holder of the Notes in any material respect, to comply with the requirements of the Commission to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, to evidence or provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture of a successor or additional Trustee, to add to the covenants of the Issuer or any additional Events of Default, to secure the Notes or to establish the form or terms of any other series of Securities.

 

11.   Events of Defaults and Acceleration.  Events of Default with respect to the Notes include: (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes when due at Stated Maturity, upon redemption or otherwise; (iii) default in the performance or breach of any covenant or warranty of the Company in the Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty

 

A-5



 

referred to in clause (i) or (ii) or included in the Indenture for the sole benefit of a series of Securities other than the Notes), and continuance of such default for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected thereby a written notice specifying such default and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” under the Indenture; and (iv)  certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to the Issuer.  If any Event of Default referred to in clause (i) or (ii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable.  If an Event of Default referred to in clause (iii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities of all series affected by such default, including the Notes, may declare all such Securities to be due and payable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default referred to in clause (iv), all Outstanding Securities shall become due and payable without further action or notice.  Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture.

 

12.   Authentication.  This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

(3) the Company consolidates, amalgamates or enters into an arrangement with, or merges with or into, any Person, or any Person consolidates, amalgamates or enters into an arrangement with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction or series of transactions in which any of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company or the Voting Stock of such other Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of Voting Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving or resulting Person (including any newly formed holding company that owns or controls at least a majority of the Voting Stock of the Company or such other Person) immediately after giving effect to such transaction;

CAMERON INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

 

Floating Rate Senior Note due 2014

 

Cameron International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to                     , or registered assigns, the principal sum of $                     Dollars [or such greater or lesser amount as may be endorsed on the Schedule attached hereto](1) on June 2, 2014, and to pay interest thereon from June 2, 2011, or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly on March 2, June 2, September 2 and December 2 in each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) (or if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, except that if such Business Day is in the immediately succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day), commencing September 2, 2011, at an initial rate of 3-month LIBOR, determined as of two London business days prior to June 2, 2011 (the “original issue date”), plus 0.93% per annum, which interest rate will be reset quarterly on March 2, June 2, September 2 and December 2 of each year, as applicable, commencing September 2, 2011 (each, an “interest reset date”) at a rate of 3-month LIBOR, determined as of the interest determination date (as defined below) immediately preceding the interest reset date for each interest reset period (as defined below), plus 0.93% per annum. The “initial interest period” will be the period from and including the original issue date to but excluding the initial interest reset date. Thereafter, each “interest reset period” will be the period from and including the immediately preceding interest reset date to but excluding the immediately succeeding interest reset date; provided that the final interest reset period will be the period from and including the interest reset date immediately preceding the maturity date to but excluding the maturity date. If any interest reset date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the interest reset date will be postponed to the immediately succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if that Business Day is in the immediately succeeding calendar month, the interest reset date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.

 

The interest rate in effect on each day will be (1) if that day is an interest reset date, the interest rate determined as of the interest determination date (as defined below) immediately preceding such interest reset date or (2) if that day is not an interest reset date, the interest rate determined as of the interest determination date immediately preceding the most recent interest reset date or the original issue date, as the case may be.

 

Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. The interest rate applicable to each interest reset period commencing on the related interest reset date, or the original issue date in the case of the initial interest period, will be the rate determined as of the applicable interest determination date. The “interest determination date” will be the

 


(1)  To be included only if the Note is issued in global form.

 



 

second London business day immediately preceding the original issue date, in the case of the initial interest reset period, and thereafter the applicable interest reset date.

 

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, or its successor appointed by the Company, will act as calculation agent. Three-month LIBOR will be determined by the calculation agent as of the applicable interest determination date in accordance with the following provisions:

 

(1) LIBOR is the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars for the 3-month period commencing on the second London business day immediately following such interest determination date, which appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (as defined below) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the applicable interest determination date. “Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page” means the display designated on page “LIBOR01” on Reuters Screen (or such other page as may replace the LIBOR01 page on that service, any successor service or such other service or services as may be nominated by the British Bankers’ Association for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits). If no rate appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, LIBOR for such interest determination date will be determined in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (2) below.

 

(2) With respect to an interest determination date on which no rate appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such interest determination date, the calculation agent shall request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market selected by the calculation agent (after consultation with the Company) to provide the calculation agent with a quotation of the rate at which deposits of U.S. dollars having a three-month maturity, commencing on the second London business day immediately following such interest determination date, are offered by it to prime banks in the London interbank market as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such interest determination date in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR for such interest determination date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations as calculated by the calculation agent. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR for such interest determination date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such interest determination date by three major banks selected by the calculation agent (after consultation with the Company) for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks having a three-month maturity commencing on the second London business day immediately following such interest determination date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the calculation agent are not quoting such rates as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR for such

 



 

interest determination date will be LIBOR determined with respect to the immediately preceding interest determination date.

 

All percentages resulting from any calculation of any interest rate will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all dollar amounts will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.

 

Promptly upon such determination, the calculation agent will notify the Company and the Trustee (if the calculation agent is not the Trustee) of the interest rate for the new interest reset period. Upon request of a Holder of Notes, the calculation agent will provide to such Holder the interest rate in effect on the date of such request and, if determined, the interest rate for the next interest reset period.

 

All calculations made by the calculation agent for the purposes of calculating interest shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders and the Company, absent manifest error.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the interest rate on this Note shall in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.

 

If the maturity date of this Note is not a Business Day, the Company will pay interest, if any, and principal and premium, if any, on the next day that is a Business Day at such place of payment as if payment were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and after such date to the immediately succeeding Business Day.

 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel for Cameron International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with respect to certain legal matters in connection with the registration by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the proposed offer and sale by the Company of $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Notes”), $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) and $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.95% Senior Notes due 2041 (the “2041 Notes” and, together with the 2014 Notes and the 2021 Notes, the “Notes”), to be issued and sold pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated May 25, 2011 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and among the Company, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co., Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and RBS Securities Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”).

 

The Notes are being offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated May 25, 2011, (the “Prospectus Supplement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) on May [26], 2011, to a prospectus dated June 23, 2008 (such prospectus, as amended and supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, the “Prospectus”), included in a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-151838) (the “Registration Statement”), which Registration Statement became effective upon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act.

 

The Notes are to be issued pursuant to an Indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated June 26, 2008, by and among the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented and amended by the Third Supplemental Indenture (herein so called), the Fourth Supplemental Indenture (herein so called) and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture (herein so called and, together with the Third Supplemental Indenture and the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the “Supplemental Indentures”), each dated June 2, 2011, establishing the forms and terms of the Notes. The Base Indenture, as so supplemented and amended by the Supplemental Indentures, is referred to as the “Indenture.”

We have examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the certificate of incorporation of the Company, as amended through the date hereof, (ii) certain resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the registration of the Notes and related matters, (iii) certain resolutions adopted by the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, (iv) the Registration Statement, (v) the Prospectus, (vi) the Base Indenture and each of the Supplemental Indentures, (vii) the Underwriting Agreement and (viii) such other certificates, instruments and documents as we consider appropriate for purposes of the opinions hereafter expressed. In addition, we reviewed such questions of law as we considered appropriate.

 

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that, assuming the Notes have been duly authenticated by the Trustee and paid for by the Underwriters as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, the Notes will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

 

The opinion expressed herein is qualified in the following respects:

 

A.            As to any facts material to the opinion contained herein, we have made no independent investigation of such facts and have relied, to the extent that we deem such reliance proper, upon certificates of public officials and officers or other representatives of the Company.

 

B.           We have assumed that (i) all information contained in all documents submitted to us for review is accurate and complete, (ii) all signatures on all documents examined by us are genuine, (iii) all documents submitted to us as originals are originals and all documents submitted to us as copies conform to the originals of those documents, (iv) each certificate from governmental officials reviewed by us is accurate, complete and authentic and all public records are accurate and complete, (v) each natural person signing any document has the legal capacity to do so, (vi) each person signing in a representative capacity any document reviewed by us had the legal capacity to do so and (vii) all Notes will be issued and sold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Prospectus and the Underwriting Agreement.

 

C.            The opinion expressed herein is limited in all respects to the federal laws of the United States of America, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Constitution of the State of Delaware (including all applicable statutory provisions and reported judicial decisions interpreting those laws) and the laws of the State of New York, and we are expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction, domestic or foreign.

D.            The opinion is qualified to the extent that the enforceability of any document, instrument or security may be limited by or subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer or conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and general equitable or public policy principles.

 

E.             We express no opinions concerning (i) the validity or enforceability of any provisions contained in the Indenture or the Notes that purport to waive or not give effect to rights to notices, defenses, subrogation or other rights or benefits that cannot be effectively waived under applicable law or (ii) the enforceability of indemnification provisions to the extent they purport to relate to liabilities resulting from or based upon negligence or any violation of federal or state securities or blue sky laws.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion of counsel as Exhibit 5.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company dated on or about the date hereof, to the incorporation by reference of this opinion of counsel into the Registration Statement and to the reference to our Firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus. In giving such consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission issued thereunder.

 

 

 

Very truly yours,
