              3. Severance Benefits and Legal Costs  


3.1. In consideration for Executive’s execution of, and required performance under, this Agreement, Ensco shall provide Executive with the cash payments and benefits set out in Section A of Annex A at the times set out therein.  All payments shall be made subject to any necessary deductions for income tax and social security contributions and any other deductions required or authorised to be made by virtue of a statutory provision.

Ensco may commence proceedings to recover such an amount as a debt owing from Executive. Executive agrees that this repayment provision is intended to be a genuine pre-estimate of the loss which may be suffered by Ensco or any Affiliate in such circumstances, and in no way constitutes a penalty.


3.3 Ensco will pay the reasonable costs of the Adviser, being costs incurred by Executive exclusively in connection with the termination of his employment, subject to its receipt of an invoice addressed to Executive and marked payable by Ensco in respect of those costs and subject to a maximum (excluding VAT but including all disbursements) of GBP £1,000. 


3.4 Executive agrees that:


3.4.1. neither the execution of the transaction agreement entered into between Ensco plc and Rowan, dated October 7, 2018, nor the occurrence of the Effective Date will be considered a “Change in Control” for the purposes of the Change in Control Severance Agreement between Executive and Ensco plc, dated January 29, 2016 (the “CiC Agreement”); and


3.4.2.Executive shall have no further entitlement to any payments or benefits under the CiC Agreement and, to the extent Executive receives any payment or benefits under the CiC Agreement (each payment or benefit payable under the CiC Agreement being a “CiC Benefit”): 


 (a) if, subject to Section 3.4.2(b)(iii) below, Executive has not at the date of payment of a CiC Benefit received one or more of the payments or benefits (including any equity-based award or bonus payment) to which he is entitled under this Agreement (each payment or benefit payable under this Agreement being a “Severance Benefit”), the gross value of the relevant Severance Benefits still payable or owed shall be reduced by the gross value of the CiC Benefit received by Executive; and


(b) if at the date on which Executive receives a CiC Benefit either: (i) Executive has received all Severance Benefits; (ii) the gross value of the CiC Benefit exceeds the gross value of the remaining Severance Benefits; or (iii) the gross value of the remaining Severance Benefits cannot sensibly be reduced, he shall pay to Ensco (or another Affiliate, as Ensco may direct) an amount equal to the gross value of the CiC Benefit or, if applicable, an amount equal to the gross value of the CiC Benefit less the gross value of the remaining Severance Benefits. 










            4. Relationship until the Termination Date


4.1 Executive is employed by Ensco in the role of Senior Operations Advisor with effect from the Effective Date. Executive agrees that he will not hold himself out as Senior Vice President – Eastern Hemisphere, and will not make any representations to any person that this is his role. For the avoidance of doubt, this shall include updating any social media account operated by Executive, to reflect this change in role. The Parties agree that until the Continued Payroll Date, Executive will assist the smooth handover to the COO of his previous responsibilities held as Senior Vice President – Eastern Hemisphere (including without limitation the day-to-day operational performance, safety and profitability of all rigs within the Eastern Hemisphere).

If Ensco does offer him work in accordance with Section 4.2(a), he shall be obliged to accept it. Once he has accepted an offer of work: (i) he will be obliged to complete it; and (ii) he will be entitled to a minimum of such breaks as are required by the UK Working Time Regulations 1998;


(c) the provisions of Sections B and C of Annex A shall apply to Executive during the term of his employment and any time thereafter;

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Termination Date is prior to 30 June 2020, Executive shall be entitled to the balance of the Notice Pay that remains unpaid as at the Termination Date, such sum to be included in Executive’s final salary payment, subject to any necessary deductions for income tax and social security contributions. Notwithstanding the applicable exchange rate, Ensco will ensure that the Executive will receive no less than £13,300 per month following exchange rate conversion;


(e) Executive and his spouse shall be eligible for membership of any private health insurance or medical scheme operated by Ensco from time to time, at the level of cover existing as at the date of this Agreement, where it is reasonably practicable for Ensco to procure such benefits at reasonable commercial rates, subject to the eligibility requirements and terms of that scheme and of any related policy of insurance as in force from time to time. Such eligibility shall continue until 1 May 2020. Ensco reserves the right at any time to amend the terms of or withdraw the provision of any benefit under 








this Section 4.2(e). No liability will accrue to Ensco in the event that any of the benefits are unavailable to the Executive by virtue of any conditions or restrictions imposed by the provider of the benefits. Ensco shall be under no obligation to take any action to enforce the terms of or otherwise procure the provision of any benefit to Executive;


(f) Ensco shall continue to pay employer contributions into such pension scheme as is currently available to Executive at the same percentage rate and on the same timetable as currently applies, but such contribution shall be based on Executive’s amended salary as set out in Section 4.2(d) above.;


(g) Executive shall have no entitlement to be granted any cash bonus or award under the Ensco Cash Incentive Plan from the Effective Date or any year thereafter; 


(h) Executive shall have no entitlement to be granted an equity award under the Ensco plc Long-Term Incentive Plan (or any other share option or share award scheme) from the Effective Date or any year thereafter; and

4.3 Executive shall provide on request proof of continued eligibility to work in the UK (or such other jurisdiction as Ensco may require him to work in) at any time during the course of his employment. Executive must inform the Ensco General Counsel as soon as he becomes aware of any change in his status in regard to eligibility to work in the United Kingdom (or such other jurisdiction).


4.4. The provisions of this Section 4 are subject to any changes required to ensure Ensco complies with its duties under English law in respect of Executive’s right to work.


5. Employment Reference.  Ensco shall, within seven (7) days of receipt of a request, provide an employment reference to any potential employers that consider the employment of Executive or seek information concerning the reasons for the departure of Executive, and make a request.  Ensco will provide to any such potential employers the identity of the positions held by Executive and the dates of Executive’s employment with Ensco. This Section is subject to any legal obligations Ensco may have in respect of the contents of a written reference, and to the proviso that Ensco will cease to be obliged to provide a reference, whether written or oral, in the agreed terms if, after the signing of this Agreement, new facts come to Ensco’s attention which make the agreed reference materially incorrect.


6. Tax Consequences  


6.1. Any further tax or social security contributions which may be payable in respect of any payment or benefit provided under this Agreement will be for Executive's own account and Executive agrees with Ensco that, to the extent that Ensco or any Affiliate is obliged to make any payment of, or in respect of, tax or social security contributions or of any fine, penalty or interest ("Taxes") in respect of any payment or benefit provided under this Agreement, Executive will promptly indemnify Ensco or the relevant Affiliate on an after-tax basis in full for any such Taxes (except any fine, penalty or interest charged solely by reason of any fault or delay by Ensco in dealing with an assessment for tax by any relevant authority). Ensco will endeavour to notify Executive at his last known address of any claim or demand that it has received in respect of any such Taxes, and afford Executive a reasonable opportunity and provide Executive with 








reasonable access to any documentation Executive may reasonably require to challenge or dispute such a claim or demand at his own expense.


7. Certain Continuing Obligations.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that the post-termination restrictive covenants and obligations that apply to Executive as set forth in Section B of Annex A shall survive termination of the employment relationship and the execution of this Agreement, and Executive shall continue to fully honor his post-employment obligations.

Executive hereby waives all rights to any further payments or awards under such plans. Any payment of cash or transfer of shares shall be settled subject to any provisions set forth in the applicable plan rules for the withholding or satisfaction of any liability to income tax and social security contributions or, if not otherwise stated, by the withholding of any part of a cash payment/sale of shares on Executive’s behalf sufficient to settle any such liability to income tax and social security contributions.

(d) This confidentiality covenant shall be in addition to, and not limit or restrict in any way, any other confidentiality agreement or other post-employment covenant between Executive and Ensco.

Executive confirms that all writings, records, and other documents and things comprising, containing, describing, discussing, explaining, or evidencing any Confidential Information, and all equipment, computers, mobile phones, components, manuals, parts, keys, tools, and the like, and any other property in Executive’s custody, possession or control that have been obtained by, prepared by, or provided to, Executive by Ensco or any Affiliate in the course or scope of his employment with Ensco (or any Affiliate) shall be and remains the exclusive property of Ensco (or any Affiliate, as applicable), shall not be copied and/or removed from the premises of Ensco or any Affiliate, except in pursuit of the business of Ensco or any Affiliate, and shall be delivered to Ensco or any Affiliate, as applicable, without Executive retaining any copies or electronic versions, by the Termination Date.  


4. To the extent permissible by law or regulatory requirements and to the extent such information is not in the public domain, Executive and Ensco agree to keep the circumstances leading to the termination of the Executive’s employment and the terms (but not the existence) of this Agreement entirely confidential.


5. Executive shall refrain from, either orally or in writing, any criticisms or disparaging comments about Ensco, any Affiliate or any of their directors, officers or employees, or in any way relating to his employment or separation from employment with Ensco. Executive further agrees that he will not take any action which could reasonably be expected to damage the reputation or be detrimental to or otherwise critical of Ensco or any Affiliate or any of their directors, officers or employees. Ensco shall, with effect from the Termination Date, use reasonable endeavors to instruct the executive officers and/or directors of Ensco and Ensco plc to refrain (subject to any legal or regulatory requirements) from any criticisms or disparaging comments (whether orally or in writing) about Executive or in any way relating to his employment or separation from employment with Ensco (or any Affiliate).  


6. The restrictions contained in this Section B of this Annex A will not apply to Executive:


(a) making a disclosure in relation to which he receives specific prior consent from Ensco in accordance with Section B-7 of this Annex A such consent not to be unreasonably refused or delayed; 


(b) making a protected disclosure within the meaning of Part IVA of the Employment Rights Act 1996. For the avoidance of doubt and as a non-exhaustive summary only, a disclosure is protected for these purposes if:


i the Executive has a reasonable belief that the disclosure is made in the public interest and the relevant information disclosed indicates there is, has been, or is likely to be, a criminal offence, a breach of a legal obligation, a miscarriage of justice, danger to the health and safety of an individual or damage to the 








environment – or that any such matter has been or is likely to be deliberately concealed; and


   ii the disclosure is made to an appropriate body, including but not limited to a   regulator or legal adviser;


(c) reporting an offence to a law enforcement agency;


(d) co-operating with a criminal investigation or prosecution; 


(e) complying with an order of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction; 


(f) disclosing information for the purpose of seeking legal, medical or professional advice (provided that those professional advisers are and remain subject to a duty of confidentiality as regards that disclosure);


(g) disclosing information to the relevant tax authorities in respect of Executive’s personal tax affairs;


(h) disclosing information which is in or has come into the public domain other than through an unauthorised disclosure by the Executive; 


(i) in respect of the facts leading up to termination or the terms of this Agreement only, disclosing information to the Executive’s spouse, civil partner or partner (provided that they agree to keep the information confidential); 


(j) in respect of the facts leading up to termination or the terms of this Agreement only, disclosing information to the Executive’s recruitment consultant or a prospective employer to the extent necessary to discuss his employment history; or 


(k) making any disclosures which are required by law or regulatory requirements. 


7. If Executive has any queries in relation to Section B-6 of this Annex A, or in order to seek consent for the purposes of Section B-6(a), these should be directed to the General Counsel of Ensco.
