WHEREAS, all things necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Third
Supplemental Indenture, to establish the Notes as provided for in this Third Supplemental
Indenture, and to make the Original Indenture, as supplemented with respect to the Notes including

SECTION 3.16 Covenant to Comply with Securities Laws upon Purchase of Notes




In connection with any offer to purchase or purchase of Notes under Section 3.12, the

cash, together with interest on such cash as hereinafter provided (subject to the provisions
of Section 7.07), held by them for the payment of a Change in Control Purchase Price or

neither the Paying Agent nor the Trustee shall be under any liability for interest on any
money received by it pursuant to this Indenture.

City time, on the Business Day following a Change in Control Purchase Date, money sufficient
to pay the Change in Control Purchase Price of the Notes to be purchased as of the Change in
Control Purchase Date, then (i) the Change in Control Purchase Price for such Notes shall be
deemed paid and (ii) after such Change in Control Purchase Date, such Notes shall cease to
be outstanding, interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue and all other rights of the
Holder of such Notes shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Change in Control
Purchase Price upon delivery of the Note in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture), whether or not such Notes are delivered
to the Paying Agent.

SECTION 1.03 Supplement to Article IV of the Original Indenture. Article IV of the Original Indenture is
supplemented with respect to the Notes by inserting the following new Sections at the end thereof:



SECTION 4.08 Limitation on Liens




The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, issue, assume
or guarantee any Indebtedness for borrowed money secured by any Lien upon any Principal
Property or any shares of stock or Indebtedness of any Subsidiary that owns or leases a
Principal Property (whether such Principal Property, shares of stock or Indebtedness are now
owned or hereafter acquired) without making effective provision whereby the Notes (together
with, if the Company shall so determine, any other Indebtedness or other obligation of the
Company or any Subsidiary) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or, at the option of
the Company, prior to) the Indebtedness so secured for so long as such Indebtedness is so
secured. The foregoing restrictions will not, however, apply to Indebtedness secured by
Permitted Liens.




Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries may, without securing
the Notes, issue, assume or guarantee Indebtedness that would otherwise be subject to the
foregoing restrictions in an aggregate principal amount that, together with all other such
Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries that would otherwise be subject to the
foregoing restrictions (not including Indebtedness permitted to be secured under the
definition of Permitted Liens) and the aggregate amount of Attributable Indebtedness deemed
outstanding with respect to Sale/Leaseback Transactions (other than Sale/Leaseback
Transactions in connection with which the Company has voluntarily retired any of the
Securities, any Pari Passu Indebtedness or any Funded Indebtedness pursuant to Section
4.09(c)) does not at any one time exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.



SECTION 4.09 Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions




The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, enter into any
Sale/Leaseback Transaction with any Person (other than the Company or a Subsidiary) unless:




(a) the Company or such Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Indebtedness in a
principal amount equal to the Attributable Indebtedness with respect to such
Sale/Leaseback Transaction secured by a Lien on the property subject to such
Sale/Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 4.08 without equally and ratably
securing the Notes, pursuant to Section 4.08;




(b) after the Issue Date of the Notes and within a period commencing nine
months prior to the consummation of such Sale/Leaseback Transaction and ending nine
months after such consummation, the Company or any Subsidiaries
shall have expended for property used or to be used in the ordinary course of
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries an amount equal to all or a portion of
the net proceeds of such Sale/Leaseback Transaction and the Company shall have
elected to designate such amount as a credit against such Sale/Leaseback Transaction
(with any such amount not being so designated to be applied as set forth in clause
(c) below or as otherwise permitted); or


 


12









 






(c) the Company, during the nine-month period after the effective date of such
Sale/Leaseback Transaction, shall have applied to the voluntary defeasance or
retirement of any Securities, any Pari Passu Indebtedness or any Funded Indebtedness
an amount equal to the greater of the net proceeds of the sale or transfer of the
property leased in such Sale/Leaseback Transaction and the fair value, as determined
by the Board of Directors of the Company and evidenced by a Board Resolution, of
such property at the time of entering into such Sale/Leaseback Transaction (in
either case adjusted to reflect the remaining term of the lease and any amount
expended by the Company as set forth in clause (b) above).



SECTION 1.04 Supplement to Article IX of the Original Indenture. Section 9.02 of the Original Indenture is
supplemented with respect to the Notes by deleting the word “or” at the end of clause (9) thereof,
replacing the period at the end of clause (10) thereof with “; or” and adding the following new
clause (11) to such Section:




(11) materially and adversely affect the right provided in Article III
to require the Company to repurchase Notes in accordance with Section 3.12.



SECTION 1.05 Effect of Article 1. The supplements to the Original Indenture set forth in Article 1 of this
Third Supplemental Indenture affect only the provisions of the Original Indenture as such
provisions relate to the Notes, the series of Securities comprised of the Notes and the rights,
remedies and obligations of the Company, the Holders of Notes, the Trustee and other Persons set
forth in the Original Indenture as such rights, remedies and obligations relate to the Notes.

not be less than $2,000), upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice as provided in
the Indenture, at a Redemption Price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the
Notes to be redeemed, (ii) the amount, if any, by which the sum of the present values of the
Remaining Scheduled Payments thereon (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption
Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, exceeds the principal amount of
the Notes to be redeemed, and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.



(b) The Company shall have no obligation to redeem, purchase or repay Notes pursuant to any
sinking fund or analogous provision or, except as provided in Section 3.12 of the Indenture, at the

[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]




PRIDE INTERNATIONAL, INC.



[67/8% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2020]*

[77/8% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2040]**




This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of [67/8
% Senior Notes due 2020]* [77/8
% Senior
Notes due 2040]** (the “Securities”) of Pride International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”).



1. Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at
[67/8%]*[77/8%]** per annum. The Company will pay interest semiannually on February 15 and August 15
of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the
next succeeding Business Day. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent Interest
Payment Date on which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from August 6, 2010;
provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Security is
authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof (each, a “Record Date”) 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 February 15, 2011.
The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and premium (if any) from time to time at a
rate equal to the interest rate then in effect; it shall pay interest on overdue installments of
interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time at the same rate to the
extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve
30-day months.



2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted
interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of business on the
Record Date next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Securities are canceled after
such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this
Security to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay the principal of,
premium (if any) on and interest on the Securities in money of the United States of America that at
the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Such amounts shall be
payable at the offices of the Trustee (as defined below); provided that, at the option of the
Company, the Company may pay such amounts (1) by wire transfer with respect to Global Securities or
(2) by check payable in such money mailed to a Holder’s registered address with respect to any
Securities.



3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Trustee”), the
trustee under the Indenture (as defined below), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The
Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or additional paying agent without
notice to any Holder. The Company or any Subsidiary of the Company may act in any such capacity.


 


A-3









 





4. Indenture. The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture, dated as of July 1, 2004
(the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee, as amended and supplemented with
respect to the Securities including by the Third Supplemental Indenture
thereto, dated as of August 6, 2010 and as it may otherwise be supplemented thereafter with
applicability to the Securities (the Base Indenture, as so amended and supplemented, the
“Indenture”). The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made
part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”), as
in effect on the date of execution of the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such terms,
and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms and for the
definitions of capitalized terms used but not defined herein. The Securities are unsecured general
obligations of the Company limited to $[900,000,000]*[300,000,000]** in aggregate principal amount;
provided, however, that the authorized aggregate principal amount of the Securities may be
increased before or after the issuance of any Securities by a Board Resolution (or action pursuant
to a Board Resolution) to such effect; provided further, however, that the authorized aggregate
principal amount of the Securities may be increased only if the additional Securities issued will
be fungible with the original Securities for United States federal income tax purposes. The Base
Indenture provides for the issuance of other series of debt securities (including the Securities,
the “Debt Securities”) thereunder.



5. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Securities are in registered form without coupons
in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of
Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The
Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by
the Indenture. Neither the Company, the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be required to register
the transfer or exchange of (a) any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part, except
the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part, or (b) any Security during the
period beginning 15 Business Days before the mailing of notice of redemption of Securities to be
redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing.



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



7. Purchase by the Company at the Option of the Holder upon a Change in Control. Upon the
terms and subject to the conditions of the Indenture, if any Change in Control resulting in a
Rating Decline with respect to the Securities occurs, the Company shall, at the option of each
Holder of the Securities, purchase all Securities for which a Change in Control Purchase Notice
shall have been delivered as provided in the Indenture and not withdrawn, as of the Change in
Control Purchase Date specified therein, for a Change in Control Purchase Price equal to 101% of
the principal amount of such Securities, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon through
and including the Change in Control Purchase Date (subject to the right of Holders on a Record Date
to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). The Change in Control Purchase
Price shall be paid in cash.



Holders of Securities have the right to withdraw any Change in Control Purchase Notice by
delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal prior to the close of business on the
Change in Control Purchase Date in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.


 


A-4









 





If cash sufficient to pay the Change in Control Purchase Price of all Securities or portions
thereof to be purchased as of the Change in Control Purchase Date is deposited with the Paying
Agent on the Business Day following the Change in Control Purchase Date, then interest ceases to
accrue on such Securities (or portions thereof) after the Change in Control Purchase Date and the
Holders thereof shall have no other rights as such (other than the right to receive the Change in
Control Purchase Price upon surrender of such Security). No interest on the Securities to be
purchased will be payable by the Company on any Interest Payment Date subsequent to the Business
Day following the Change in Control Purchase Date, if the requirements of the immediately preceding
sentence are satisfied.



8. Redemption. The Securities are subject to redemption, in whole at any time and in part
from time to time, at the option of the Company, in principal amounts of $1,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 above such amount (provided that the unredeemed portion of any Security
redeemed in part may not be less than $2,000), upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior
notice as provided in the Indenture, at a Redemption Price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the
principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, (ii) the amount, if any, by which the sum of the
present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments thereon (excluding accrued and unpaid interest
to the Redemption Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, exceeds
the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest
thereon to the Redemption Date.



9. Amendments and Waivers. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Indenture or
the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of all series affected by such
amendment or supplement (acting as one class), and any existing or past Default or Event of Default
under, or compliance with any provision of, the Indenture may be waived (other than any continuing
Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium (if any) on or interest on
the Securities) by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Debt Securities of any series or of all series (acting as one class) in accordance with the terms
of the Indenture. Without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or
supplement the Indenture or the Securities or waive any provision of either: (i) to cure any
ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; (ii) if required, to provide for the assumption of
the obligations of the Company under the Indenture in the case of the merger, consolidation or
sale, lease, conveyance, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of
certificated Securities or to provide for the issuance of bearer Securities (with or without
coupons); (iv) to provide any security for, or to add any guarantees of or additional obligors on,
the Securities; (v) to comply with any requirement in order to effect or maintain the qualification
of the Indenture under the TIA; (vi) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the
Holders of the Securities, or to surrender any right or power conferred by the Indenture upon the
Company; (vii) to add any additional Events of Default with respect to all or any series of the
Debt Securities; (viii) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture, provided
that no outstanding Security is adversely affected in any material respect; (ix) to supplement any
of the provisions of the Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the
defeasance and discharge of the Securities pursuant to the Indenture; or (x) to evidence and
provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture
by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities and to add to or change any of the
provisions of the Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration
of the trusts thereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of the Indenture.

The right of any Holder to participate in any consent required or sought pursuant to any
provision of the Indenture (and the obligation of the Company to obtain any such consent otherwise
required from such Holder) may be subject to the requirement that such Holder shall have been the
Holder of record of any Securities with respect to which such consent is required or sought as of a
date identified by the Company in a notice furnished to Holders in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture.



Without the consent of each Holder affected, the Company may not (i) reduce the amount of Debt
Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; (ii) reduce the rate
of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Security; (iii)
reduce the principal of or premium on, or change the Stated Maturity of, any Security; (iv) reduce
the premium, if any, payable upon the redemption of any Security or change the time at which any
Security may or shall be redeemed; (v) change the coin or currency in which any Security or any
premium or interest with respect thereto is payable; (vi) impair the right to institute suit for
the enforcement of any payment of principal of or premium (if any) or interest on any Security,
except as provided in the Indenture; (vii) make any change in the percentage of principal amount of
Debt Securities necessary to waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or make any
change in the provision for modification; (viii) waive a continuing Default or Event of Default in
the payment of principal of or premium (if any) or interest on the Securities or (ix) materially
and adversely affect the right provided in the Indenture to require the Company to repurchase
Securities as described in paragraph 7 of this Security.



A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of the
Base Indenture, as supplemented from time to time, which has expressly been included solely for the
benefit of one or more particular series of Debt Securities under the Base Indenture, or which
modifies the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series with respect to such covenant
or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under the Indenture of the Holders of
Debt Securities of any other series.



10. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are defined in the Indenture and generally
include: (i) default for 30 days in payment of any interest on the Securities; (ii) default in any
payment of principal of or premium, if any, on the Securities when due and payable; (iii) default
by the Company in compliance with any of its other covenants or agreements in, or provisions of,
the Securities or in the Indenture which shall not have been remedied within 60 days after written
notice by the Trustee or by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding (or, in the event that other Debt Securities issued under the Base Indenture are also
affected by the default, then 25% in principal amount of all outstanding Debt Securities so
affected); or (iv) certain events involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the
Company. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least
25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities (or, in the case of an Event of Default
described in clause (iii) above, if outstanding Debt Securities of other series are affected by
such Default, then at least 25% in


 


A-6









 





principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities so affected), may declare the principal of and interest
on all the Securities (or such Debt Securities) to be immediately due and payable, except that in
the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization of the Company, all outstanding Debt Securities under the Base Indenture become due
and payable immediately without further action or notice. The amount due and payable upon the
acceleration of any Security is equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest
to the date of payment. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided
in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the
Indenture or the Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the then outstanding Securities (or affected Debt Securities) may direct the Trustee in
its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing
default (except a default in payment of principal, premium or interest) if it determines that
withholding notice is in their interests. The Company must furnish annual compliance certificates
to the Trustee.




11. Discharge Prior to Maturity. The Indenture with respect to the Securities shall be
discharged and canceled upon the payment of all of the Securities and shall be discharged except
for certain obligations upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of any combination of funds
and U.S. Government Obligations sufficient for such payment.



12. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may
become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform
services for the Company or any of its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or any
such Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.



13. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee, stockholder, partner or other
owner of the Company or the Trustee, as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of
the Company under the Securities or for any obligations of the Company or the Trustee under the
Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their
creation. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver
and release shall be part of the consideration for the issue of Securities.



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



15. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the
Securities as a convenience to the Holders of the Securities. No representation is made as to the
accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Securities and reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed thereon.



16. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an
assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=
joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and
