TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Ensco plc, a public limited company
incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (the “Company”), has adopted
the Ensco plc 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). In furtherance of the
purposes of the Plan and pursuant thereto, a Restricted Share Award has been
granted to the Participant as specifically described in the Terms and Conditions
Acceptance Agreement (the “Acceptance Agreement”) which must be executed by the
Participant by the date specified in the Acceptance Agreement to reflect his or
her acceptance of the following Terms and Conditions:
1.Award of Restricted Shares. The Company hereby grants an award (the “Award”)
to the Participant, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth
in the Plan and those specified herein, the number of Shares specified in the
Acceptance Agreement (the “Restricted Shares”), which Shares shall be fully paid
up.
The Acceptance Agreement and the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth
herein, including the Appendix attached hereto, shall collectively constitute
the Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) for this Award of Restricted Shares.
2.    Restrictions; Restriction Period; Vesting. The Restricted Shares awarded
hereunder may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or
disposed of in any manner during the Restriction Period, which begins on the
Date of Grant and ends with respect to a portion of the Restricted Shares on the
vesting dates specified in this Section 2, other than by the executor or
administrator of the Participant’s estate in the event of the Participant’s
death. The Restricted Shares awarded hereunder shall not be assignable by
operation of law or subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any
attempted sale, pledge, assignment, hypothecation, transfer or other disposition
of the Restricted Shares contrary to the provisions of this Agreement or the
Plan and the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the
Restricted Shares shall be null and void and without force or effect. No
transfer of the Restricted Shares by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Company shall
have been furnished written notice thereof and an authenticated copy of the will
and/or such other evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the
validity of the transfer. The transfer to the executor or administrator of the
Participant’s estate shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs
and successors of the Participant.
These restrictions shall be released, and all right, title and interest to the
Restricted Shares shall vest in the Participant, at the rate of thirty-three and
one-third percent (33-1/3%) of the original number of Restricted Shares (subject
to adjustment pursuant to Section 11(a) of the Plan) per year on the successive
anniversaries of the Date of Grant (each, a “Vesting Date”) and shall be fully
vested on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant. The vesting and the waiver
of the restrictions on the Restricted Shares shall be subject to acceleration on
the terms and conditions stated in the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Plan and in Section 5 hereof. Restricted Shares shall become “Vested Shares”
upon release of the restrictions on the Vesting Date with respect to such
Shares.
3.    Deposit of Restricted Shares; Release of Shares. Restricted Shares shall
be held (i) in escrow by the designee of the Company until the Vesting Date with
respect to such Shares, or (ii) pursuant to such other arrangement in order to
ensure compliance with the restrictions. Any such designee shall be considered
the Plan “Administrator” with respect to any and all duties, responsibilities
and functions delegated to it by the Company. Subject to prior compliance with
Section 10 below, once Restricted Shares granted hereby become Vested Shares,
the Plan Administrator shall arrange for the transfer of such Vested Shares to
the Participant.
4.    Rights with Respect to Restricted Shares. The Participant shall have the
right to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the
Restricted Shares and may exercise full voting rights in connection with such
Shares. All rights with respect to, or in connection with, the Restricted Shares
shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant.
5.    Termination of Employment.
(a)    If the Participant ceases to perform Services for the Company and its
Subsidiaries as a result of his or her Retirement on or after his or her Normal
Retirement Age during the Restriction Period, all of the restrictions remaining
on all of the Restricted Shares shall be automatically waived on such
Participant’s actual normal retirement date and all of such Restricted Shares
shall become Vested Shares.
(b)    If the Participant ceases to perform Services for the Company and its
Subsidiaries as a result of his or her termination of employment by the Company
without Cause (as defined below) or by the Participant for Good Reason (as
defined below) during the Restriction Period, then the restrictions remaining on
20% of the total number of Restricted Shares governed by this Agreement shall be
automatically waived on such Participant’s termination of employment and that
20% of the Restricted Shares governed hereby shall become Vested Shares.
(c)    If the Participant is unable to continue to perform Services for the
Company and its Subsidiaries by reason of his or her death or Permanent and
Total Disability during the Restriction Period, the restrictions remaining on
the Restricted Shares shall be automatically waived on the date of such
Participant’s death or Participant’s termination date due to Permanent and Total
Disability to the extent that such restrictions would have terminated
automatically on the three anniversary dates of the Date of Grant next
succeeding such Participant’s date of death or Participant’s termination date
due to Permanent and Total Disability (to the extent a Vesting Date) and all of
the Restricted Shares with respect to which such restrictions are hereby waived
shall become Vested Shares. If a Participant’s employment is terminated during
the Restriction Period because of his or her death, any earlier payment provided
by the Company in settlement of this Award shall be made to the executor or
administrator of the Participant’s estate. All remaining Restricted Shares that
are still subject to restrictions shall be forfeited automatically and returned
to the Ensco plc Employee Benefit Trust (the “Trust”) or retained by the
Administrator in an account on behalf of the Trust, unless this forfeiture
provision is waived in accordance with the Plan.
(d)    Except as provided in Section 5(e) hereof, if the Participant ceases to
perform Services for the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason other than
Retirement on or after

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

his or her Normal Retirement Age, Permanent and Total Disability, or death
during the Restriction Period, all remaining Restricted Shares that are still
subject to restrictions on the date his or her Services cease shall be forfeited
automatically and returned to the Trust or retained by the Administrator in an
account on behalf of the Trust, unless, in the event of an involuntary
termination of the Participant’s Services, this forfeiture provision is waived.
In the case of such waiver, all of the restrictions with respect to such
Restricted Shares are hereby waived and the Restricted Shares shall become
Vested Shares. By accepting this Award, the Participant hereby agrees that, and
shall be taken to have authorized that, any director or officer of the Company
may take such steps and execute such documents as such director or officer shall
consider necessary or desirable to procure the transfer of the Shares to the
trustees of the Trust or an account held for benefit of the trustees of the
Trust. Without limitation, the Participant irrevocably appoints any director or
officer of the Company as his or her attorney to procure the transfer of shares
to the trustees of the Trust or an account held for benefit of the trustees of
the Trust.
(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the provisions of this
Section 5(e), in the event of a Change in Control (as defined below) and the
subsequent termination of the Participant’s Services with the Company and its
Subsidiaries by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries without Cause, or the
subsequent termination of the Participant’s Services with the Company and its
Subsidiaries by the Participant within thirty (30) days of his or her discovery
of the occurrence of one or more events which constitute Good Reason, in either
case within two (2) years following such Change in Control, all of the
restrictions remaining on all of the Restricted Shares shall be automatically
waived on the date his or her Services terminates, and all of such Shares shall
become Vested Shares. In the event of the occurrence of any event which
constitutes Good Reason and in the event the Participant wishes to resign from
his or her employment on the basis of the occurrence of such event, the
Participant shall give notice of his or her proposed resignation, and the
successor corporation shall have a period of thirty (30) days following its
receipt of such notice to remedy the breach or occurrence giving rise to such
proposed resignation. In the event the successor corporation fails to so remedy
said breach or occurrence by expiration of said thirty (30)-day period, the
Participant shall be deemed to have resigned from his or her employment for Good
Reason pursuant to this Section 5(e) and shall be treated as if his or her
employment has been terminated without Cause and he or she shall be entitled to
the treatment of his or her Restricted Shares described in this Section 5(e).
For purposes of this Section 5(e), a “Change in Control” shall have the meaning
set forth in the employment agreement entered into between the Participant and
the Company dated May 3, 2014 (the “Employment Agreement”)
For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” is defined as a termination of
employment by the Company for any reason enumerated in Section 18.1(a) through
(l) of the Employment Agreement.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall have the meaning set forth
in the Employment Agreement.
6.    Effect of Company Blackout Periods. The Company has established the Ensco
Securities Trading Policy and Procedure (the “Policy”) relative to disclosure
and trading on inside information as described in the Policy. Under the Policy,
directors, officers and managers (as defined in the Policy) of the Company are
prohibited from trading Company securities during certain “blackout periods” as
described in the Policy. In respect to any Participant subject to the Policy, if
the date on which any Restriction Period will lapse and as a result of which
Restricted Shares will

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

become Vested Shares falls within a blackout period imposed by the Policy, the
date described in this sentence shall automatically be extended by this Section
6 to the second U.S. business day immediately following the last day of the
applicable blackout period. The Committee shall interpret and apply the
extension automatically provided by the preceding sentence to ensure that in no
event shall any Restriction Period lapse during an imposed blackout period. If,
however, the Policy is subsequently amended after the Date of Grant of this
Award, the automatic extension of any date in accordance with the preceding
sentences shall be rescinded or otherwise adjusted automatically in accordance
with the Policy, as amended, and the Committee shall interpret this Section 6 to
ensure its compliance with the Policy, as amended.
7.    Employment Relationship. For purposes of this Agreement, the Participant
shall be considered to be in the employment of the Company or a Subsidiary, as
applicable, as long as the Participant continues performing Services for the
Company or a Subsidiary and the relationship between the Participant and the
Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, is the legal relationship of employer
and employee within the meaning of Section 3401(c) of the Code or according to
local employment laws in any non-U.S. jurisdiction in which the Participant is
employed, as applicable. Any question as to whether and when there has been a
termination of such continuous Services as an Employee for purposes of this
Agreement, and the cause of such termination for purposes of this Agreement,
shall be determined by the Committee, and its determination shall be final,
conclusive and binding.
8.    Nature of Grant. In accepting this Award, the Participant acknowledges,
understands and agrees that:
(a)    The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary
in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the
Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan.
(b)    The grant of this Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create
any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Shares or
benefits in lieu of Restricted Shares, even if Restricted Shares or other awards
have been granted in the past.
(c)    All decisions with respect to future grants of Restricted Shares or other
awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.
(d)    This Award and the Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not
create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or
service contract with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and shall not
interfere with the ability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as
applicable, to terminate the Participant’s employment or service relationship
(if any).
(e)    The Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan.
(f)    This Award and the Shares subject to this Award are not intended to
replace any pension rights or compensation.
(g)    This Award and the Shares subject to this Award, and the income and value

end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or
welfare benefits or similar payments.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(h)    The future value of the Shares subject to this Award is unknown,
indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty.
(i)    No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from
forfeiture of this Award resulting from the Participant ceasing to provide
employment or other services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (for any
reason whatsoever, whether or not is later found to be invalid or in breach of
employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the
terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any). In consideration of
the grant of this Award to which the Participant is otherwise not entitled, the
Participant irrevocably agrees other than in the event of Company’s breach of
this Agreement, to (i) not institute any claim against the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement, (ii) waive the ability, if any,
to bring any such claim and (iii) release the Company and its Subsidiaries from
any such claim. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by
a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the
Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim
and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or
withdrawal of such claim.
(j)    Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its
discretion, this Award and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not
create any entitlement to have this Award or any such benefits transferred to,
or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out, or substituted
for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Shares; and
(k)    The following provisions apply only if the Participant is providing
services outside the United States:
(i)    this Award and the Shares subject to this Award are not part of normal or
expected compensation or salary for any purpose; and
(ii)    the Participant acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the
Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the
value of this Award or any amounts due to the Participant with respect to the
settlement of this Award or any subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant
to this Award.
9.    Tax Consequences; No Advice Regarding Grant. The issuance of Vested Shares
released from the forfeiture restrictions will have tax consequences for a
Participant who is subject to U.S. federal taxation under the Code. The Award,
the issuance of Restricted Shares and/or the issuance of Vested Shares released
from the forfeiture restrictions may also have tax consequences for Participants
who are subject to taxation in other jurisdictions.
The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the
Company making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan or the
acquisition or sale of the Shares subject to this Award.
THE PARTICIPANT IS HEREBY ADVISED TO CONSULT WITH HIS OR HER OWN PERSONAL TAX,
LEGAL AND FINANCIAL ADVISERS REGARDING HIS OR HER PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN AND
ANY TAX OR OTHER CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS AWARD.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.    Tax Withholding. To the extent that the Participant is subject to
withholding of federal, state, or local income taxes and/or other taxes or
social insurance contributions imposed by the country of residence or
citizenship of the Participant or the country or residence of the Company or its
Subsidiary which has the legal relationship of employer and employee with the
Participant or is obligated to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the
Company’s tax equalization or hypothetical tax policies or specific agreements
relating thereto (the “Employee Taxes”), the Participant shall, at such time as
the value of any Shares or other amounts received pursuant to this Award first
becomes includable in the gross income of the Participant for such Employee
Taxes or the time that a withholding obligation arises for the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries with respect to this Award, as applicable, pay to the Company
or its designee, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee or its
designee regarding payment of, any and all such Employee Taxes required to be
withheld with respect to such income and, if applicable, any amounts owed to the
Company or its Subsidiaries under its tax equalization or hypothetical tax
policies or specific agreements relating thereto.
Regardless of any action the Company or any of its Subsidiaries take with
respect to the Employee Taxes, the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate
liability for all Employee Taxes is and remains the Participant’s responsibility
and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and a Subsidiary. The
Participant further acknowledges that the Company and its Subsidiaries (i) make
no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Employee Taxes
in connection with any aspect of this Award, including, but not limited to, the
grant or vesting of the Restricted Shares, the release of the restrictions to
which the Restricted Shares are subject, any waiver of the forfeiture provisions
applicable to the Restricted Shares, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired
pursuant to this Award, and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit
to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect
of this Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Employee
Taxes or achieve any particular tax result.
Subject in each case to approval by the Committee or its designee and Section 6
hereof as well as compliance with all applicable law, the Participant may elect
to have any withholding obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary satisfied,
in whole or in part, by (i) selling to the Trust a number of Shares that would
otherwise be released from the restrictions on a Vesting Date, such number of
Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the Shares are
sold) equal to the statutory prescribed amount of the withholding due or other
applicable withholding amount as determined by the Company, (ii) authorizing the
Company’s designee to sell a number of Shares with an aggregate Fair Market
Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the
statutory prescribed amount of the withholding due or other applicable
withholding amount as determined by the Company, and/or (iii) paying to the
Company or a Subsidiary the amount of Employee Taxes in cash, check or other
cash equivalent. In the absence of any election by the Participant, any
withholding obligation for Employee Taxes shall be satisfied pursuant to clause
(i) of the immediately preceding sentence.
The Company may refuse to release the Restricted Shares from the forfeiture
restrictions if the Participant fails to comply with the obligations in
connection with Employee Taxes.
11.    Return of Proceeds. If (i) the Participant engages in an activity that
competes with the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries within one
(1) year after (A) the Participant’s voluntarily resignation or Retirement from
his or her position as an Employee, or (B) his or her status as an Employee was
terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary for Cause (as defined in Section 5(e)
hereof) (either event constituting a “Termination” for purposes of this Section
11), and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii) Restricted Shares held by the Participant had vested within one (1) year of
the date of Termination; then the Participant shall remit to the Company, or its
designee, within five (5) business days of receipt of written demand therefor,
an amount in good funds equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares computed
as of the Vesting Date of such Shares.
12.    Compliance with Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or
this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from any registration,
qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the Shares, the Company
shall not be required to deliver any Shares issuable upon lapse of the
forfeiture restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares prior to (i) the
completion of any registration or qualification of the Shares under any local,
state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or
regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any
other governmental regulatory body, or (ii) obtaining any approval or other
clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which
registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute
discretion, deem necessary or advisable. The Participant understands that the
Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the SEC or
any state or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from
any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the Shares. Further, the
Participant agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the
Plan and this Agreement without the Participant’s consent to the extent that the
Company deems it to be necessary or advisable to comply with securities or other
laws applicable to issuance of Shares pursuant to this Agreement.
13.    Data Privacy. The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously
consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of
the Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other
Award materials by and among, as applicable, the Participant’s employer, the
Company and its Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing,
administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
The Participant understands that the Company and the Participant’s employer may
hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not
limited to, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of
birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary,
nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details
of all Awards or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised,
vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, for the exclusive
purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).
The Participant understands that Data will be transferred to Merrill Lynch and
Computershare or such other stock plan service providers as may be selected by
the Company in the future, which are assisting the Company with the
implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In addition, Data may
be transferred to the trustee of the Trust established in connection with the
Plan. The Participant understands that the recipients of Data may be located in
the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the
United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the
Participant’s country. If the Participant resides outside the United States, the
Participant understands that the Participant may request a list with the names
and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting the
Participant’s local human resources representative. The Participant authorizes
the Company, Merrill Lynch, Computershare and any other possible recipients
which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing,
administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and
transfer Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of
implementing, administering

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant
understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement,
administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. If the
Participant resides outside the United States, the Participant understands that
the Participant may, at any time, view Data, request additional information
about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to
Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by
contacting in writing the Participant’s local human resources representative.
Further, the Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents
herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if
the Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment
status or service and career with the Company and its Subsidiaries will not be
adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing the
Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the
Participant Restricted Shares or other equity awards or administer or maintain
such awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing
his or her consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the
Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Participant’s refusal to
consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may
contact his or her local human resources representative.
14.    Electronic Delivery and Participation. The Company may, in its sole
discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future
participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents
to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in
the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by
the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
15.    Language. If the Participant has received this Agreement or any other
document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and
if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version,
the English version will take precedence.
16.    Notices. Notices delivered under this Agreement shall be delivered to the
Company at its principal office (Attention: General Counsel and Secretary), and
to the Participant at such address as the Participant shall designate in writing
to the Company.
17.    Binding Effect and Interpretation. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of any successors to the Company or to the Participant.
In the event of conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the
Plan shall control. All undefined capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meaning assigned to them in the Plan. The Board or the Committee shall have the
authority to construe the terms of this Agreement, and such determinations shall
be final and binding on the Participant and the Company and its Subsidiaries.
The Participant may obtain a copy of the Plan on the Merrill Lynch Benefits
Online® website or by contacting the Corporate Compensation Department in
Houston.
18.    Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any
one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable,
in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and
enforceable.
19.    Governing Law. This Agreement and all actions hereunder shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without
regard to conflict of laws principles thereof.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

20.    Waiver. The Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of
breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a
waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by
the Participant or any other Participant.
21.    Appendix. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, this Award
shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any Appendix
to this Agreement for the Participant’s country. Moreover, if the Participant
relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the special terms
