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

     (a)     Section  1.1  of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting
in  its  entirety  the defined terms "Consolidated Indebtedness", "Indebtedness"
and  "SPV"  and their


<PAGE>
accompanying  definitions,  and  substituting  in  lieu  thereof  in appropriate
alphabetical  order  the  following  defined terms and accompanying definitions:

          "Consolidated Indebtedness" means all Indebtedness of the Borrower and
     its Subsidiaries that would be reflected on a consolidated balance sheet of
     such  Persons  prepared  in  accordance  with  GAAP.

          "Indebtedness"  means,  for  any  Person, the following obligations of
     such  Person,  without  duplication:  (i)  obligations  of  such Person for
     borrowed  money;  (ii) obligations of such Person representing the deferred
     purchase  price  of  property  or  services other than accounts payable and
     accrued  liabilities  arising  in the ordinary course of business and other
     than amounts which are being contested in good faith and for which reserves
     in  conformity  with  GAAP  have  been  provided; (iii) obligations of such
     Person  evidenced by bonds, notes, bankers acceptances, debentures or other
     similar  instruments of such Person, or obligations of such Person arising,
     whether  absolute  or  contingent, out of letters of credit issued for such
     Person's  account  or  pursuant  to  such  Person's  application  securing
     Indebtedness;  (iv)  obligations  of other Persons, whether or not assumed,
     secured  by Liens (other than Permitted Liens) upon property or payable out
     of  the  proceeds  or  production  from  property now or hereafter owned or
     acquired  by  such  Person,  but only to the extent of such property's fair
     market  value;  (v)  Capitalized  Lease  Obligations  of  such Person; (vi)
     obligations  under  Interest  Rate  Protection Agreements and Currency Rate
     Protection  Agreements,  and (vii) obligations of such Person pursuant to a
     Guaranty  of  any of the foregoing obligations of another Person; provided,
     however,  Indebtedness shall exclude Non-recourse Debt and any Indebtedness
     attributable  to  the  mark-to-market  treatment of obligations of the type
     described  in  clause (vi) in the definition of Indebtedness and any actual
     fair  value adjustment arising from any Interest Rate Protection Agreements
     and  Currency  Rate  Protection  Agreements  that  have  been  cancelled or
     otherwise  terminated  before  their  scheduled expiration, in each case in
     respect of Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Currency Rate Protection
     Agreements  entered  into  in  the  ordinary course of business and not for
     investment  or  speculative  purposes.  For purposes of this Agreement, the
     Indebtedness  of  any  Person  shall  include  the  Indebtedness  of  any
     partnership or joint venture to the extent such Indebtedness is recourse to
     such  Person.

          "SPV"  means  any  Person that is designated by the Borrower as a SPV,
     provided that the Borrower shall not designate as a SPV any Subsidiary that
     owns, directly or indirectly, any other Subsidiary (other than a Subsidiary
     of  SIW  Newco) that has total assets (including assets of any Subsidiaries
     of such other Subsidiary, but excluding any assets that would be eliminated
     in  consolidation  with the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) which equates to
     at  least five percent (5%) of the Borrower's Total Assets, or that had net
     income  (including net income of any Subsidiaries of such other Subsidiary,
     all  before  discontinued  operations  and  income  or  loss resulting from
     extraordinary  items, all determined in accordance


                                        2
<PAGE>
     with  GAAP, but excluding revenues and expenses that would be eliminated in
     consolidation  with  the  Borrower  and  its  Subsidiaries) during the most
     recently  completed fiscal year of the Borrower in excess of the greater of
     (i)  $1,000,000,  and  (ii) fifteen percent (15%) of the net income (before
     discontinued  operations  and  income  or loss resulting from extraordinary
     items)  for  the  Borrower  and  its  Subsidiaries,  all as determined on a
     consolidated  basis  in accordance with GAAP during such fiscal year of the
     Borrower. The Borrower may elect to treat any Subsidiary as a SPV (provided
     such  Subsidiary would otherwise qualify as such), and may rescind any such
     prior  election,  by  giving  written  notice thereof to the Administrative
     Agent  specifying  the  name of such Subsidiary or SPV, as the case may be,
     and the effective date of such election, which shall be a date within sixty
     (60)  days  after  the  date  such notice is given. The election to treat a
     particular  Person  as  a  SPV  may  only  be  made  once.

     (b)     Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
following  new  definitions  of  "Currency  Rate Protection Agreement"  and "SIW
Newco"  in  appropriate  alphabetical  order:

               "Currency  Rate  Protection  Agreement"  shall  mean  any foreign
     currency  exchange and future agreements, arrangements and options designed
     to  protect  against  fluctuations  in  currency  exchange  rates.

               "SIW  Newco"  means  the  Subsidiary of the Borrower organized to
     hold,  together  with  any  Subsidiaries  of  such  Subsidiary,  all  or
     substantially  all  of  the assets of the shallow and inland water business
     segment  of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (including the jackup rig and
     drilling  barge  operations  in  the  U.S.  Gulf of Mexico and the drilling
     operations  in  Trinidad  and  Venezuela),  at such time as there have been
     issued  and  are outstanding publicly traded shares of any such Subsidiary.

3.     Amendment  to  Section  6.6  ("Financial Reports and Other Information").
Section 6.6 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting subsection (e)
of such Section in its entirety and substituting the following subsection (e) in
lieu  thereof:

     (e) Notices of Default, Litigation, Etc. The Borrower will promptly, and in
         -----------------------------------
     any  event  within  five  (5)  Days,  after  an officer of the Borrower has
     knowledge  thereof, give written notice to the Administrative Agent of (who
     will  in  turn provide notice to the Lenders of): (i) the occurrence of any
     Default or Event of Default; (ii) any litigation or governmental proceeding
     of  the  type described in Section 5.4; (iii) any circumstance that has had
     or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iv) the
     occurrence  of any event which has resulted in a breach of, or is likely to
     result  in  a breach of, Sections 6.17 or 6.18; and (v) any notice received
     by  it, any Subsidiary or any SPV from the holder(s) of Indebtedness of the
     Borrower,  any  Subsidiary or any SPV in an amount which, in the aggregate,
     exceeds  $50,000,000,  where  such notice states or claims the


                                        3
<PAGE>
     existence  or occurrence of any default or event of default with respect to
     such  Indebtedness  under  the  terms  of  any  indenture,  loan  or credit
     agreement,  debenture, note, or other document evidencing or governing such
     Indebtedness.


4.     Amendment  to  Section 6.11 ("Indebtedness").  Section 6.11 of the Credit
Agreement  is  hereby  amended by deleting subsection (d) of such Section in its
entirety  and  substituting  the  following  subsection  (d)  in  lieu  thereof:

     Currency  Rate  Protection  Agreements;

5.     Amendment to Section 7.1 ("Events of Default and Remedies").  Section 7.1

     IV  of  ERISA;  or  a  notice of intent to terminate a Plan having Unfunded
     Vested  Liabilities of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in excess of
     $50,000,000  (a  "Material  Plan") is filed under Title IV of ERISA; or the
     PBGC  institutes  proceedings  under  Title  IV of ERISA to terminate or to
     cause  a  trustee  to  be  appointed  to  administer any Material Plan or a
     proceeding  is  instituted  by a fiduciary of any Material Plan against any
     Borrower  or  any  Subsidiary to collect any liability under Section 515 or
     4219(c)(5)  of  ERISA,  and  in  each case such proceeding is not dismissed
     within  thirty  (30)  days  thereafter;  or a condition exists by reason of
     which  the  PBGC would be entitled to obtain a decree adjudicating that any
     Material  Plan must be terminated, and (y) the occurrence of one or more of
     the  matters  in  the  preceding clause (x) could reasonably be expected to
     result  in  liabilities  in  excess  of  $50,000,000;  or

6.     Representations  and Warranties.  The Borrower represents and warrants to
       -------------------------------
the  Lenders  as  follows:

     (a)     All  representations  and  warranties  set  forth  in  the  Credit
Agreement  are true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as
