-53-

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 5.9 shall limit the ability of any Commitment Party to consult with the Company, to appear and be heard, or to file objections, concerning any matter arising in the Chapter 11 Cases to the extent not inconsistent with the Restructuring Support and Lock-Up Agreement.

New Seadrill shall remove the Legend (or restrictive notation, as applicable) set forth above from the certificates evidencing any such shares (or the share register or other appropriate New Seadrill records, in the case of uncertified shares), upon request, at any time after the restrictions described in such Legend cease to be applicable, including, as applicable, when such shares may be sold under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. New Seadrill may reasonably request such opinions, certificates or other evidence that such restrictions no longer apply as a condition to removing the Legend.

The communications contemplated by this Section 5.13 may be made by the Company or a Filing Party on an outside counsel-only basis or subject to other agreed upon confidentiality safeguards. The obligations in this Section 5.13 shall not apply to filings, correspondence, communications or meetings with Antitrust Authorities unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Plan or the other Definitive Documents.

These indemnification provisions shall be in addition to any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to the Indemnified Persons.

Section 7.2 Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding for which such Indemnified Person is indemnified pursuant to Section 7.1 (an “Indemnified Claim”), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made hereunder against the Indemnifying Party in respect thereof, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided, that (a) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have hereunder except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and (b) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Person otherwise than on account of this Article VII. In case any such Indemnified Claims are brought against any Indemnified Person and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein, and, at its election by providing written notice to such Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person; provided, that if the parties (including any impleaded parties) to any such Indemnified Claims include both such Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party and based on advice of such Indemnified Person’s counsel there are legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Person shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Indemnified Claims. Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Person of its election to so assume the defense of such Indemnified Claims with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to

such Indemnified Person for expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof or participation therein (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless (i) such Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel representing the Indemnified Persons who are parties to such Indemnified Claims (in addition to one local counsel in each jurisdiction in which local counsel is required)), (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person to represent such Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after the Indemnifying Party has received notice of commencement of the Indemnified Claims from, or delivered on behalf of, the Indemnified Person, (iii) after the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Indemnified Claims, the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to defend such claim and provides written notice of such determination and the basis for such determination, and such failure is not reasonably cured within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice, or (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company Parties shall have sole control over any Tax controversy or Tax audit and shall be permitted to settle any liability for Taxes of the Debtors.

If any settlement of any Indemnified Claims is consummated with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such Indemnified Claims, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment to the extent such Losses are otherwise subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Party hereunder in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, this Article VII. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall be granted or withheld, conditioned or delayed in the Indemnified Person’s sole discretion), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Indemnified Claims in respect of which indemnity or contribution has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability on the claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnified Claims and (ii) such settlement does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

Section 7.4 Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution, if a claim for indemnification pursuant to these indemnification provisions is made but is found by a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, even though the express provisions hereof provide for indemnification in such case, then the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, shall contribute to the losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements to which

the Indemnified Persons may be subject in accordance with the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, and also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Persons collectively and in the aggregate, on the other hand, in connection with the statements, acts or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements and the relevant equitable considerations shall also be considered. No person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other person who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Indemnified Persons shall be obligated to contribute any amount hereunder that exceeds the amount of fees previously received by such Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 7.5 Survival and Exclusive Remedy. Neither expiration nor termination of the Commitment Parties’ commitments under this Agreement or funding or repayment of the New Secured Notes or Equity Securities shall affect these indemnification provisions which shall remain operative and continue in full force and effect. With respect to the matters set forth in Section 7.1, the remedies set forth in this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to those matters set forth in Section 7.1 and each of the Commitment Parties, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law and all rights, claims and causes of action it or any of its respective Affiliates may have against the Indemnifying Parties with respect to the subject matter therein, regardless.

(d) At Closing, the Company Parties shall pay to each Commitment Party and, as applicable, to each Commitment Party’s attorneys, accountants, advisors, financial advisors, consultants and other professionals, all Expenses, including all monthly fees and expenses of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx and Moelis & Company, in each case incurred from the Investment Agreement Effective Date to the Closing Date that exceed the Expense Reimbursement (“Incremental Expenses”). To the extent Expenses incurred through the Closing Date are less than the retainers paid pursuant to this Section 9.4, the applicable Commitment Parties shall refund such excess amounts of such retainers to the Company Parties at Closing.

Section 9.5 Further Agreements.

(a) Each of the fees and expenses set out herein shall be fully earned, nonrefundable and non-avoidable and shall be paid in full in cash by the Company, free and clear of any withholding or deduction for any U.S. or Bermuda Taxes, on the date of payment set forth in this Agreement, unless required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any U.S. or Bermuda Tax from any such payment for any reason other than the failure of the recipient of any such payment to provide applicable documentation (that such recipient is legally entitled to provide) that would make such deduction or withholding inapplicable, then the Company shall make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable law and the sum payable by Company shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, as of the date hereof, it does not anticipate or have actual knowledge of any withholding or deduction for any Taxes other than U.S. or Bermuda with respect to the fees and expenses set forth in this Agreement. If the Company concludes that withholding or deduction may be necessary for Taxes other than U.S. or Bermuda, the Company shall promptly notify the Commitment Party with respect to which withholding or deduction may be required, and the Company shall use its best efforts and cooperate with such Commitment Party to minimize or eliminate any such withholding or deduction; provided, that, in the event such withholding or deduction is ultimately determined to be required, the Company shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, shall promptly pay over any such withheld or deducted amount to the applicable Governmental Entity, and the amounts so withheld or deducted shall be treated as paid pursuant to this Agreement. The Company agrees that all such fees and expenses are provided at fair value in exchange for the commitments provided by the recipients (or their representatives) to the Company. The provisions for the payment of the fees and expenses are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without these provisions the Commitment Parties would not have entered into this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan (including any amendments, supplements or modifications thereto) or the Confirmation Order (and any amendments, supplements or modifications thereto) or an affirmative vote to accept the Plan submitted by any Commitment Party, nothing contained in the Plan (including any amendments, supplements or modifications thereto) or Confirmation Order (including any amendments, supplements or modifications thereto) shall alter, amend or modify the rights of the Commitment Parties under this Agreement unless such alteration, amendment or modification has been made in accordance with Section 10.7.

Section 10.4 Governing Law; Venue. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. BY ITS EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES FOR ITSELF THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING AGAINST IT WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER ARISING UNDER OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING, MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT, AND BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS AND SUBMITS ITSELF TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING.

Section 10.13 Publicity. At all times prior to the Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company and the Commitment Parties shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases (and provide each other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such release) or otherwise making public announcements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, it being understood that nothing in this Section 10.13 shall prohibit any Party from filing any motions or other pleadings or documents with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases and or filings with any other court of competent jurisdiction in the Ancillary Proceedings, as applicable.

-78-

Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, and notwithstanding the fact that certain of the Parties may be partnerships or limited liability companies, each Party covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any Party’s Affiliates, or any of such Party’s Affiliates’ or other respective Related Parties in each case other than the Parties to this Agreement and each of their respective successors and permitted assignees under this Agreement, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any of the Related Parties, as such, for any obligation or liability of any Party under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or liabilities or their creation; provided, however, nothing in this Section 10.15 shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of any Party hereto or any of their respective successors or permitted assigns for any breach or violation of its obligations under this Agreement or such other documents or instruments. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Parties will have any recourse, be entitled to commence any proceeding or make any claim under this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby except against any of the Parties or their respective successors and permitted assigns, as applicable.

Section 10.16 Enforceability of Agreement. Each of the Parties to the extent enforceable, waives any right to assert that the exercise of termination rights under this Agreement is subject to the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and expressly stipulates and consents hereunder to the prospective modification of the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code for purposes of exercising termination rights under this Agreement, to the extent the Bankruptcy Court determines that such relief is required. If any Company Party asserts that the automatic stay prevents the exercise of any termination rights by any Commitment Parties, then this Agreement shall terminate automatically without any further action or notice by any Party.

Section 10.17 Relationship Among Parties. None of the Commitment Parties shall have any fiduciary duty, any duty of trust or confidence in any form, or other duties or responsibilities to each other, any Company Party, or any of the Company Party’s respective creditors, equityholders or other stakeholders.

Registration Rights Agreement Term Sheet

SEADRILL LIMITED

Registration Rights Term Sheet¹

This indicative summary of terms and conditions (this “Registration Rights Term Sheet”) is for discussion purposes only. This Registration Rights Term Sheet does not constitute an agreement or an offer to enter into an agreement to purchase equity securities or the rights associated with such equity securities described herein or otherwise. Such an agreement will arise only under definitive documentation (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) duly executed by the parties in accordance with its terms and is further subject to, among other things, the final order of the Bankruptcy Court confirming the Plan and the effectiveness of the Plan. This Registration Rights Term Sheet does not attempt to describe all of the terms, conditions and requirements that would pertain to the purchase of equity securities or the rights associated with such equity securities described herein, but rather is intended to outline certain basic items around which the equity investment will be structured. This Registration Rights Term Sheet is not intended to limit the scope of discussion or negotiation of any and all matters whether or not set forth herein. All dollar amounts, where not otherwise specified, are in United States dollars.

Issuer:		Seadrill Limited, a Bermuda company, or New Seadrill Limited, a Bermuda company (such entity, the “Issuer”)
Investor Parties to Registration Rights Agreement:		Hemen Investments Limited, a Cyprus holding company (“Hemen”) Centerbridge Credit Partners L.P. (along with certain of its affiliates, “Centerbridge”) Certain funds and/or accounts that are managed, advised or sub-advised by each of Aristeia Capital L.L.C., GLG Partners LP, Saba Capital Management LP and Whitebox Advisors, LLC or such Person’s affiliate(s), in each case, that are signatories to the Investment Agreement (collectively, the “Select Commitment Parties”).
Registration Rights
Exemption from SEC Registration:		The Equity Securities issued and sold pursuant to the Investment Agreement will be issued and sold in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or another exemption thereunder, and will therefore be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
Registrable Securities:		“Registrable Securities” means each of the following: (a) any Equity Securities issued to the Commitment Parties as contemplated by the Investment Agreement (including any Equity Securities owned by any of the Commitment Parties as a result of, or issuable upon, the conversion, exchange or exercise of options, warrants and other

¹  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Registration Rights Term Sheet have the meanings given to such terms in the Investment Agreement.

		securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for (at any time or upon the occurrence of any event or contingency and without regard to any vesting or other conditions to which such securities may be subject) such Equity Securities; (b) any other Equity Securities acquired or owned by any of the Commitment Parties prior to the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement, or acquired or owned by any of the Commitment Parties after the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement if such Commitment Party is an Affiliate of the Issuer and (c) any Equity Securities issued or issuable to any of the Commitment Parties with respect to the Registrable Securities by way of stock or unit dividend or stock or unit split or in connection with a combination of shares or units, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization or otherwise and any Equity Securities, as the case may be, issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof; provided that any such Registrable Securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities when (i) a Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities has been declared effective under the Securities Act by the SEC and such Registrable Securities have been disposed of pursuant to such effective Registration Statement, (ii) such Registrable Securities are sold in a private transaction in which the transferor’s rights under the Registration Rights Agreement are not assigned to the transferee of such securities, (iii) the date on which such Registrable Securities have been disposed of pursuant to Rule 144 or (iv) the date on which such Registrable Securities cease to be outstanding.
Restrictions on Transfer:		Absent registration under the Securities Act, sales of Registrable Securities may be made pursuant to one or more exemptions under the Securities Act, including Rule 144A, Regulation S and Rule 144 under the Securities Act (subject to holding periods and limitations on sales by affiliates) and, if applicable, in accordance with applicable non-U.S. securities laws. The Issuer shall at all times use commercially reasonable efforts to make available information necessary to comply with Rule 144 and Rule 144A under the Securities Act with respect to resales of Registrable Securities to the extent required to enable holders of Registrable Securities to sell without registration within the limitations of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 and Rule 144A.
Registration Rights2:		The Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file an initial registration statement on Form F-13 with the SEC within five (5) Business Days following the date of the entry of the confirmation order (the “Confirmation Order”) of the Bankruptcy Court confirming the Plan (the “Registration Statement Filing Date”), which will cover the sale, resale or other distribution on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities (the “Resale Registration Statement”).

²  Note: Similar detail to be agreed in respect of Oslo listing following discussions with Norwegian counsel to the company to the extent applicable.

³ Note: Form of registration statement to be confirmed.

2

		The Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC (the “Registration Statement Effectiveness”) and to effectuate the transactions set forth herein as soon as reasonably practicable following the Registration Statement Filing Date. It is understood that in the event the Issuer becomes a WKSI or is otherwise eligible to use Form F-3, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Resale Registration Statement on Form F-1 into a Resale Registration Statement on Form F-3 as soon as reasonably practicable. If the Issuer thereafter becomes ineligible to use Form F-3, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file and obtain an effective Resale Registration Statement on Form F-1 as soon as reasonably practicable. The Issuer shall inform all the shareholders named in the Resale Registration Statement of its effectiveness on the same Business Day as effectiveness is obtained and shall file a final prospectus under Rule 424 with the SEC to the extent required. The Issuer shall maintain the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement until the date on which all of the Registrable Securities covered by the Resale Registration Statement have been sold. The plan of distribution of the Resale Registration Statement shall provide for customary means of disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by the Resale Registration Statement.
Underwritten shelf takedown, demand and piggy back registration rights:		(a) Hemen, (b) Centerbridge and (c) the Select Commitment Parties (each, a “Qualified Holder”) may request to sell all or a portion of its Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering (including block trades) that is registered pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement (“Underwritten Shelf Takedown”), subject to the priority allocations as set forth below; provided, however, that no Qualified Holder shall be entitled to make a demand for any Underwritten Shelf Takedown unless such Qualified Holder holds at least 5% of the outstanding Equity Securities, calculated at the time of such demand, but shall be entitled to piggyback registration rights as set forth herein. In connection with one or more Underwritten Shelf Takedowns relating to the first $200 million4 of Registrable Securities, any cutback in connection with such offering shall be allocated as follows: (i) Hemen shall be entitled to 54% of the Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, (ii) Centerbridge shall be entitled to 6% of the Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown and (iii) the Select Commitment

⁴ Note: This should correspond to the amount that is actually purchased ($200m less whatever is taken up in the $25m equity rights offering).

3

Parties shall be entitled to 40% of the Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (such securities, the “Priority Shares”). Thereafter (i.e., following the sale of the first $200 million⁵ of Registrable Securities), any cutback in connection with an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall be allocated on a pro rata basis based off the Registrable Securities attributable to the aggregate New Secured Notes purchased by each Commitment Party at Closing. The holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering, subject to the Issuer’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and determine the sale price.

In addition to the above registration rights for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns, (i) each Qualified Holder that holds at least 5% of the outstanding Equity Securities, calculated at the time of such demand, shall receive unlimited demand resale registration rights (if there is no effective Resale Registration Statement and the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement would otherwise require that the Resale Registration Statement be effective) and (ii) each Qualified Holder shall receive unlimited piggyback registration rights. The demand and piggyback registration rights shall be transferable (A) in connection with any private sale transaction of Registrable Securities of $25 million or more and (B) in connection with any transfer of Registrable Securities to an affiliate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not be required to effect (x) more than four (4) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns (together with any demand registrations) in any 12-month period; (y) an Underwritten Shelf Takedown or demand registration within sixty (60) days (or such longer period specified in any applicable lock-up agreement entered into with underwriters) after the consummation of a previous Underwritten Shelf Takedown or demand registration or (z) any Underwritten Shelf Takedown or demand registration if the aggregate proceeds expected to be received from the sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be sold in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown or demand registration, in the good faith judgment of the managing underwriter(s) therefor (or the Issuer if such demand registration is not underwritten), is less than $50 million.

Subject to the cutback provisions set forth above, for any piggyback registration that is an underwritten offering initiated by the Issuer for a primary offering, if the managing underwriter(s) advise the Issuer in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included exceeds the number of securities which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, the

⁵ Note: This should correspond to the amount that is actually purchased ($200m less whatever is taken up in the $25m equity rights offering).

4

		Issuer shall include in such registration the maximum amount of securities that would not have such adverse effect: (i) first, the securities offered by the Issuer; (ii) second, the Priority Securities; (iii) third, up to the full amount of the Registrable Securities requested to be included, reduced pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the amount of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder; and (iv) fourth, any other securities to be included pursuant to a registration request from such other holders in such proportions as the Issuer and those holders may agree. The Issuer shall have the right to select the managing underwriter(s) for any offering initiated by the Issuer under which the Qualified Holders have piggyback rights, reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of Registrable Securities, if any, to be included in such offering, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In any underwritten offering, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into customary underwriting agreements with the managing underwriter(s) including, without limitation, supporting, and paying the fees for, the Issuer’s independent certified public accountant to provide comfort letters to the underwriters and agreeing to all other customary provisions in similar underwritten offerings.
Listing:		The Issuer shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Confirmation Order and prior to the Effective Date, submit listing applications to the Oslo Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange (or an alternate “national securities exchange” (within the meaning of the Exchange Act), as reasonably determined by the Issuer’s board in consultation with the Commitment Parties) for the listing thereon of the Equity Securities. The Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause the Equity Securities to be listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange and (ii) cause the Equity Securities to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (or an alternate “national securities exchange” (within the meaning of the Exchange Act), as reasonably determined by the Issuer’s board in consultation with the Commitment Parties) and registered under the Exchange Act concurrently with the Registration Statement Effectiveness.
Fees and Expenses of Registration and Listing:		To be borne by the Issuer (other than underwriting fees, discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes of a selling shareholder). The Issuer will pay reasonable and documented fees and expenses within 30 calendar days of receipt of the applicable invoice of one single special counsel to represent all of the participating Qualified Holders (“Investors’ Counsel”) selected: (i) in the case of an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requesting such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; and (ii) in the case of a Piggyback Registration, the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Piggyback Registration.

5

Lock-Up:		In connection with the first (and, for the avoidance of doubt, only the first) public/underwritten offering (regardless of whether such offering is a primary or secondary offering and including an Underwritten Shelf Takedown), each Qualified Holder agrees that it shall not, during the 60 days after the pricing (the “Lock-Up Period”), directly or indirectly, offer, pledge, assign, encumber, announce the intention to sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of their Acquired Equity Securities, Granted Equity Securities or Equity Securities issued to such Qualified Holder in connection with the Structuring Fee to any Person; provided, however, that the Lock-Up Period shall not apply to the following: (i) the Equity Securities issued to a Commitment Party in exchange for such party’s Unsecured Notes under the Plan (i.e., the 1145 exempt Equity Securities); (ii) resales of a maximum of 15% of the applicable Commitment Party’s Equity Securities as of the Closing Date pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement; (iii) a tender offer for the Equity Securities approved by the Board of Directors of the Issuer; (iv) sales to the Issuer pursuant to an authorized share repurchase program in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act; (v) Registrable Securities included in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown; (vi) transfers of Equity Securities between affiliate entities of a Commitment Party; or (vii) sales of Equity Securities pursuant to such registered offering. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) the Lock-Up Period shall not apply to any Equity Securities sold under one or more exemptions from registration under the Securities Act, but shall apply to sales on the Oslo Stock Exchange and (b) before the commencement of, and after the termination or expiration of, the Lockup Period, there shall be no restrictions on the ability of any Qualified Holder to resell its Registrable Securities through the Resale Registration Statement in non-underwritten offerings. The Lock-Up Period may be extended for up to an additional 30 days (for an aggregate of 90 days), at the reasonable request of the managing underwriters/ lead book-runner/ manager.
Review and Comment:		In connection with an Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Piggyback Registration, at least 5 Business Days before filing a registration statement (other than the initial registration statement, in which case such period shall be at least 15 Business Days), prospectus, prospectus supplement or an amendment to the foregoing with the SEC, the Issuer shall furnish Investors’ Counsel with such documents, and such documents are subject to the reasonable review, comment and approval of such counsel before filing.
Holder Information:		Holders seeking registration of Registrable Securities will be required to timely provide customary information to allow the Issuer to list such holders as selling securityholders in a registration statement or prospectus.

6

Indemnification:		Customary cross-indemnification and contribution provisions by the Issuer, on the one hand, and the Commitment Parties, on the other hand.
Other Covenants:		Such other covenants and agreements as are customary for registration rights agreements that the Issuer and the Commitment Parties shall mutually agree.
Removal of Legends:		Substantially consistent with Section 5.12 of the Investment Agreement as applied to the Registrable Securities.
Successors and Assigns:		The Issuer may assign its rights and obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement with the consent of the Commitment Parties holding a majority of the Registrable Securities on the Closing Date in connection with a sale or acquisition of the Issuer in which the successor or acquiring person agrees in writing to assume all of the Issuer’s rights and obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. Each Commitment Party may assign its rights under the Registration Rights Agreement to any affiliate of such Commitment Party without the Issuer’s consent; provided that such transferee shall be required to become a party to the Registration Rights Agreement.
Amendments:		Amendments or modifications to the Registration Rights Agreement, and any waivers under the Registration Rights Agreement, shall require the consent of: (i) Hemen and Centerbridge and (ii) Select Commitment Parties holding 2/3rds of the Registrable Securities held by all Select Commitment Parties.
Governing Law:		New York.

Form of Rights Offering Procedures

SEADRILL LIMITED

DEBT RIGHTS OFFERING PROCEDURES

The New Seadrill Common Stock and the NSNCo New Secured Notes (collectively, the “Debt Rights Offering Securities”) are distributed and issued (the “Debt Rights Offering”) without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof, Regulation D and/or Regulation S.

None of the Subscription Rights (defined below) or Debt Rights Offering Securities issuable upon exercise of such rights distributed pursuant to these Debt Rights Offering Procedures have been or, at the time of original issuance, will be registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state.

No Subscription Rights may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, participated, donated or otherwise encumbered or disposed of, directly or indirectly (including through derivatives, options, swaps, forward sales or other transactions in which any person receives the right to own or acquire any current or future interest in the Subscription Rights, the Debt Rights Offering Securities, the Applicable Claims (defined below) and any related claims) (each of the above, a “Transfer”); provided, however, that holding securities attesting ownership of Subscription Rights in an account with a broker-dealer where the broker-dealer holds a security interest or other encumbrance over property in the account generally, which security interest or other encumbrance is released upon transfer of such securities, shall not constitute a “Transfer” for purposes hereof.

No Debt Rights Offering Securities may be sold or transferred except pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state.

These Debt Rights Offering Procedures are being distributed and communicated only to Eligible Holders (defined below). The Debt Rights Offering Securities are available only to, and any invitation, offer or agreement to purchase will be entered into only with Eligible Holders. Any person who is not a Eligible Holder should not act or rely on this document or any of its contents.

The distribution or communication of these Debt Rights Offering Procedures and the issue of the Debt Rights Offering Securities in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. No action has been taken or will be taken to permit the distribution or communication of these Debt Rights Offering Procedures in any jurisdiction where any action for that purpose may be required. Accordingly, these Debt Rights Offering Procedures may not be distributed or communicated, and the Debt Rights Offering Securities may not be subscribed, purchased or issued, in any jurisdiction except in

circumstances where such distribution, communication, subscription, purchase or issue would comply with all applicable laws and regulations without the need for the issuer to take any action or obtain any consent, approval or authorization therefor except for any notice filings required under U.S. federal and applicable state securities laws.

Each Rights Offering Security issued upon exercise of a Subscription Right, and each certificate issued in exchange for or upon the transfer, sale or assignment of any such Debt Rights Offering Securities, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

[Additional Jurisdiction Legends to Come if Applicable]

In any member state of the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) that has implemented the EU Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”), these Debt Rights Offering Procedures are only addressed to and only directed at qualified investors in that Relevant Member State within the meaning of the EU Prospectus Directive. These Debt Rights Offering Procedures have been prepared on the basis that all offers of Debt Rights Offering Securities within the EEA will be made pursuant to an exemption under the EU Prospectus Directive from the requirement to produce a prospectus for offer of securities. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make any subscription of Debt Rights Offering Securities within any EEA member state should only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises to publish a prospectus or a supplement to a prospectus under the EU Prospectus Directive for such offer. Neither Seadrill Limited, NSNCo nor any person acting on their behalf has authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of Debt Rights Offering Securities through any financial intermediary, other than as may be contemplated herein. The expression “EU Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State), and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State and the expression “2010 PD Amending Directive” means Directive 2010/73/EU.

The Debt Rights Offering is being conducted in good faith and in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code. In accordance with Section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, a debtor or any of its agents that participate, in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, in the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of a security offered or sold under the plan of the debtor, of an affiliate participating in a joint plan with the debtor, or of a newly organized successor to the debtor under the plan, is not liable, on account of such participation, for violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the offer, issuance, sale or purchase of securities.

iv

Pursuant to the Plan, if Class B3, D3 or F3, constituting the General Unsecured Claims against Seadrill, NADL, and Sevan, vote as a class to accept the Plan, the Subscription Agent will transmit to Holders of claims of each class that voted to accept the Plan (the “Applicable Claims”) as of the Record Date a certification form (an “Eligibility Certificate”) to determine if such Holder is an Eligible Holder (defined below) permitted to participate in the Debt Rights Offering.

An “Eligible Holders” is a Holder of an Applicable Claim as of the Record Date that is:

(1) an “Accredited Investor” (as defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act) and, if that person is in a Member State of the EEA that has implemented the EU Prospectus Directive, is a “qualified investor” in that Relevant Member State within the meaning of the EU Prospectus Directive; or

(2) is a “Qualified Investor” (defined below) that is not a “U.S. Person” (as defined by Rule 902 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act).

The term “Qualified Investor” means:

(1) a non-U.S. Person in a Member State of the EEA, that is a “qualified investor” in that Relevant Member State within the meaning of the EU Prospectus Directive; or

(2) a non-U.S. Person not in a Member State of the EEA, that is lawfully entitled subscribe and purchase the Debt Rights Offering Securities under all applicable securities laws and regulations (whether pursuant to an applicable exemption or otherwise), without the need for any registration, the filing or publication of any prospectus or other action by the issuer.

Each Eligible Holder, seeking to participate in the Debt Rights Offering is required to return the applicable Eligibility Certificate to the Subscription Agent so as to be actually received by the Subscription Agent by the Eligibility Certificate Deadline ([•], 2017 at 5:00 p.m. New York City time) and is required to certify therein to the ownership of an Applicable Claim and status as an Eligible Holder.

Only those Holders of Applicable Claims that certify that they are Eligible Holders will have the opportunity to participate in the Debt Rights Offering. Holders of Applicable Claims that do not return the applicable Eligibility Certificate will be deemed to relinquish and waive any right to participate in the Debt Rights Offering.

Pursuant to the Plan (and in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of these Debt Rights Offering Procedures, the Subscription Form and the Subscription Agreement), if Class B3, D3 or F3, constituting the General Unsecured Claims against Seadrill, NADL, and Sevan, vote as a class to accept the Plan, each Eligible Holder of an Applicable Claim will receive subscription rights to subscribe for its pro rata share of Debt Rights Offering Securities (the “Subscription Rights”), provided that the Debt Commitment Parties have agreed not to receive Subscription Rights on account of their Applicable Claims against Seadrill, NADL, and Sevan held as of the Agreement Effective Date (as defined in the Restructuring Support and

The Debtors may extend the Subscription Expiration Deadline with the consent of the Required Commitment Parties (as defined in the Investment Agreement), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, or as required by law.

3. Delivery of Subscription Agreement

In all cases, Eligible Holders that are Debt Commitment Parties must deliver their payment of the applicable Purchase Price payable for the Debt Rights Offering Securities elected to be purchased by such Eligible Holder directly to the Subscription Agent no later than the Backstop Funding Deadline.

In the event that the funds received by the Subscription Agent from any Eligible Holder do not correspond to the Purchase Price payable for the Debt Rights Offering Securities elected to be purchased by such Eligible Holder, the number of the Debt Rights Offering Securities deemed to be purchased by such Eligible Holder will be the lesser of (i) the amount of the Debt Rights Offering Securities elected to be purchased by such Eligible Holder and (ii) an amount of the Debt Rights Offering Securities determined by dividing the amount of the funds received by the Purchase Price.

The cash paid to the Subscription Agent in accordance with these Debt Rights Offering Procedures will be deposited and held by the Subscription Agent in a segregated escrow account designed in escrow agreements mutually satisfactory to each of the Debt Commitment Parties and the Debtors until administered in connection with the settlement of the Debt Rights Offering on the Effective Date. The Subscription Agent may not use such cash for any other purpose prior to the Effective Date and may not encumber or permit such cash to be encumbered with any lien or similar encumbrance.

To the extent DTC is unwilling or unable to make the Debt Rights Offering Securities eligible on the DTC system, the Debt Rights Offering Securities will be issued directly to the Eligible Holder or its designee and such Eligible Holder or its designee will be the holder of record.

8. Minimum Denominations; No Fractional Shares

All allocations (including each Eligible Holder’s Debt Rights Offering Securities) will be calculated and rounded down to the nearest whole share or minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, as applicable.

9. Validity of Exercise of Subscription Rights

All questions concerning the timeliness, viability, form and eligibility of any exercise of Subscription Rights will be determined in good faith by the Debtors in consultation with the Required Commitment Parties and, if necessary, subject to a final and binding determination by the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors may waive any defect or irregularity in, or permit such defect or irregularity to be corrected within such time as they may determine in good faith, or reject, the purported exercise of any Subscription Rights. Subscription Agreements will be deemed not to have been received or accepted until all irregularities have been waived or cured within such time as the Debtors determine in good faith.

In so doing, and subject to the consent of the Required Commitment Parties, the Debtors may execute and enter into agreements and take further action that the Debtors determine in good faith are necessary and appropriate to effectuate and implement the Debt Rights Offering and the issuance of the Debt Rights Offering Securities. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed so as to permit the Debtors to modify the terms of any executed and delivered Subscription Agreement without the consent of the Eligible Holder party thereto.

The Debtors shall undertake reasonable procedures to confirm that each participant in the Rights Offering is in fact an Eligible Holder, including but not limited to, requiring such participant to validly and timely complete an Eligibility Certificate, requiring additional certifications by such participant to that effect and other diligence measures as the Debtors deem reasonably necessary.

Questions relating to the Debt Rights Offering should be directed to the Subscription Agent at the following phone number: [•].
