ENSCO INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED
6.75% NOTES DUE NOVEMBER 15, 2007
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the
Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be issued in one or more
series under an Indenture, dated as of November 20, 1997 (herein called the
"Indenture"), between the Company and Bankers Trust Company, as Trustee (herein
called the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the
Indenture), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations
of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the
Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and
are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series
designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to
$150,000,000.
The Securities of this series may be redeemed at any time at the option of
the Company, in whole or from time to time in part, at a price equal to 100% of
the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
Redemption Date plus the Make-Whole Premium, if any (the "Redemption Price").
The amount of the Make-Whole Premium with respect to any Security of this series
(or portion thereof) to be redeemed will be equal to the excess, if any, of: (i)
the sum of the present values, calculated as of the Redemption Date, of: (A)
each interest payment that, but for such redemption, would have been payable on
the Security (or portion thereof) being redeemed on each Interest Payment Date
occurring after the Redemption Date (excluding any accrued interest for the
period prior to the Redemption Date); and (B) the principal amount that, but for
such redemption, would have been payable at the final maturity of the Security
(or portion thereof) being redeemed; over (ii) the principal amount of the
Security (or portion thereof) being redeemed. The present values of interest and
principal payments referred to in clause (i) above will be determined in
accordance with generally accepted principles of financial analysis. Such
present values will be calculated by discounting the amount of each payment of
interest or principal from the date that each such payment would have been
payable, but for the redemption, to the Redemption Date at a discount rate equal
to the Treasury Yield (as defined below) plus 15 basis points.
The Make-Whole Premium shall be calculated by an independent investment
banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company; provided,
that if the Company fails to make such appointment at least 45 Business Days
prior to the Redemption Date, or if the institution so appointed is unwilling or
unable to make such calculation, such calculation shall be made by Xxxxxxx,
Sachs & Co. or, if such firm is unwilling or unable to make such calculation, by
an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by
the Trustee (in any such case, an "Independent Investment Banker").
For purposes of determining the Make-Whole Premium, "Treasury Yield" means
a rate of interest per annum equal to the weekly average yield to maturity of
United States Treasury Notes that have a constant maturity that corresponds to
the remaining term to maturity of the Securities of this series, calculated to
the nearest 1/12th of a year (the "Remaining Term"). The Treasury Yield shall
be determined as of the third Business Day immediately preceding the applicable
Redemption Date. The weekly average yields of United States Treasury Notes
shall be determined by reference to the most recent statistical release
published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated "H.15 (519)
Selected Interest Rates" or any successor release (the "H.15 Statistical
Release"). If the H.15 Statistical Release sets forth a weekly average yield
for United States Treasury Notes having a constant maturity that is the same as
the Remaining Term, then the Treasury Yield shall be equal to such weekly
average yield. In all other cases, the Treasury Yield shall be calculated by
interpolation, on a straight-line basis, between the weekly average yields on
the United States Treasury Notes that have a constant maturity closest to and
greater than the Remaining Term and the United States Treasury Notes that have a
constant maturity closest to and less than the Remaining Term (in each case
as set forth in the H.15 Statistical Release). Any weekly average yields so
calculated by interpolation shall be rounded to the nearest 1/100th of 1%, with
any figure of 1/200% or above being rounded upward. If weekly average yields for
United States Treasury Notes are not available in the H.15 Statistical Release
or otherwise, then the Treasury Yield shall be calculated by interpolation of
comparable rates selected by the Independent Investment Banker.
Periodic interest installments with respect to which the Interest Payment
Date is on or prior to any Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of
record at the close of business on the relevant record dates referred to herein,
all as provided in the Indenture.
Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60
days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Securities of this series to
be redeemed at his address appearing in the Securities Register. Securities of
this series in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only
in whole multiples of $1,000. On and after the Redemption Date interest will
cease to accrue on Securities of this series or on the portions thereof called
for redemption, as the case may be.
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all Securities at
the time Outstanding to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of
all Securities of this series, and specified percentages in principal amount of
all Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the holders of all
Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the
Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.
Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive
and binding upon such Holder and upon the registration of transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Security.
The Indenture contains provisions for the legal defeasance at any time of
the entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security upon compliance by the
Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to
this Security. Upon compliance with such provisions, the Company shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness on this Security and
the Company's obligation to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on this Security shall cease, terminate and be completely discharged.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder
of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for
any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee
shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with
such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60
days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The
foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of his Security
for the
enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest
hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or
of the Indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder, alter or impair the
right of the Holder, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times,
place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or
agency of the Company in any place where the principal of (and premium, if any)
and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series,
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount
of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue; and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
