series may be established by a supplemental indenture executed by the Company, the Guarantor and
the Trustee; and



     WHEREAS, the Company and the Guarantor propose to create under the Indenture two new series of
Securities, which will be guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantees as set forth in
Article Fourteen of the Original Indenture (as made applicable to the Notes, defined herein,
pursuant to this Second Supplemental Indenture); and



     WHEREAS, all acts and things necessary to make the Notes, when executed by the Company and
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee as provided in the Original Indenture and this Second
Supplemental Indenture, the valid and binding obligations of the Company, to make the Guarantees of
such Notes by the Guarantor the valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, and to make this
Second Supplemental Indenture a valid and binding agreement in accordance with the Original
Indenture, have been done or performed;



     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, agreements and obligations set forth herein
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all
Holders of the Notes, as follows:



ARTICLE 1

Relation to Indenture; Definitions




     SECTION 1.01. Relation to Indenture.



     With respect to the Notes and the Guarantees thereof by the Guarantor, this Second
Supplemental Indenture constitutes an integral part of the Indenture.

otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Original Indenture.

to be designated as the Company’s 9.625% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”) and the Company’s
9.875% Senior Notes due 2039 (the “2039 Notes” and together with the 2019 Notes, the “Notes”). The
Notes shall be substantially



Second Supplemental Indenture




 









 




in the forms attached as Exhibit A hereto, in each case, with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the
Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or
endorsements placed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate or as may be required or
appropriate to comply with any laws or with any rules made pursuant thereto or with the rules of
any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or traded,
or to conform to general usage, or as may, consistently with the Indenture, be determined by the
officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution thereof.




     The Notes shall be executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the provisions of,
and shall in all respects be subject to, the terms, conditions and covenants of the Original
Indenture as supplemented by this Second Supplemental Indenture (including the forms of Note set
forth as Exhibit A hereto (the terms of which are incorporated in and made a part of this
Second Supplemental Indenture for all intents and purposes)).



     SECTION 2.02. Amount.



     The aggregate principal amount of the Notes which may be authenticated and delivered pursuant
hereto is unlimited. The Trustee shall initially authenticate and deliver Notes for original issue
in initial aggregate principal amounts of up to $1,000,000,000 of the 2019 Notes and up to
$250,000,000 of the 2039 Notes upon delivery to the Trustee of a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Notes. The Company may, from time to time, without notice to
or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, increase the principal amount of the Notes under the
Indenture and issue such increased principal amount (or any portion thereof), in which case any
additional Notes so issued will have the same form and terms (other than the date of issuance and,
under certain circumstances, the date from which interest thereon will begin to accrue), and will
carry the same right to receive accrued and unpaid interest, as the Notes previously issued, and
such additional Notes will form a single series with the Notes previously issued.



     SECTION 2.03. Stated Maturity and Denominations.



     The Stated Maturity of the 2019 Notes shall be March 1, 2019, and the Stated Maturity of the
2039 Notes shall be March 1, 2039. The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons
in denominations of U.S. $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.



     SECTION 2.04. Interest and Interest Rates.



     The rate or rates at which the Notes shall bear interest, the date or dates from which such
interest shall accrue, the Interest Payment Dates on which any such interest shall be payable and
the Regular Record Date for any interest payable on any Interest Payment Date, in each case, shall
be as set forth in the form of applicable Note set forth as Exhibit A hereto.



     SECTION 2.05. Place of Payment.



     As long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall maintain an office or agency in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where Notes may be presented for payment.



     SECTION 2.06. Optional Redemption.



     At its option, the Company may redeem either series of the Notes, in whole or in part, in
principal amounts of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, at any time or
from time to time, at the applicable redemption price determined as set forth in the form of
applicable Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, in accordance with the terms set forth in the
Note and in accordance with Article Eleven of the Original Indenture.



     SECTION 2.07. Unconditional Guarantee.



     Article Fourteen of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented by this Second
Supplemental Indenture) shall be applicable to the Notes, and accordingly, as more fully set forth
in such Article Fourteen, the Guarantor fully, irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely
guarantees to the Holders of Notes and to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal
of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, and all other



Second Supplemental Indenture




2









 




Indenture Obligations, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the
Stated Maturity, upon redemption or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise.




     To further evidence the Guarantees of the Notes, the Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation
of such Guarantees in substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto, in each case,
with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or
permitted by the Indenture, shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee and executed by either manual or facsimile signature of an officer of the Guarantor. The
Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantees of the Notes shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding any failure to endorse on any such Note a notation relating to the Guarantee
thereof.



ARTICLE 3

Other Amendments to Indenture




     SECTION 3.01. Amendments to Indenture



     The amendments contained in this Section 3.01 shall apply to the Notes only and not to any
other series of Securities issued under the Indenture. Such amendments shall be effective only for
so long as there remain outstanding any Notes. The Original Indenture is hereby amended, subject
to the preamble of this Section 3.01 and with respect to the Notes only, by adding the following as
a new Section 10.10 thereto:



     Section 10.10 Change of Control Repurchase at the Option of Holders




     (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, Holders of
Securities will have the right to require the Company to make an offer (the “Change
of Control Offer”) to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Securities at a purchase price in
cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities repurchased plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities repurchased, to the date of
purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of
Control Triggering Event, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder of
Securities describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of
Control Triggering Event and stating:




     (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this
Section 10.10 and that all Securities tendered will be accepted for payment;




     (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier
than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed
(the “Change of Control Payment Date”);




     (3) that any Securities not tendered will continue to accrue interest;




     (4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of
Control Payment, all Securities accepted for payment pursuant to the Change
of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control
Payment Date;




     (5) that Holders electing to have any Securities repurchased pursuant
to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Securities,
with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the
Securities completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying
Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business
on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;




     (6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the
Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second
Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram,
telex, facsimile, transmission or letter setting forth the name of the
Holder, the principal amount of Securities delivered for purchase, and a
statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the
Securities purchased; and



Second Supplemental Indenture




3









 






     (7) that Holders whose Securities are being purchased only in part will
be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased
portion of the Securities surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be
equal to $2,000 in principal amount or in any integral multiple of $1,000 in
excess thereof.




     The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange
Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those
laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the
Securities as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that
the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of
this Section 10.10 (or compliance with this Section 10.10 would constitute a
violation of any such laws or regulations), the Company will comply with the
applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached
its obligations under this Section 10.10 by virtue of such conflicts.




     (b) On or before the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will be
required, to the extent lawful, to:




     (1) accept for payment all Securities or portions of Securities
properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;




     (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of
Control Payment in respect of all Securities or portions of Securities
properly tendered; and




     (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities
properly accepted.




     The Paying Agent will promptly (but in any case not later than five days after
the Change of Control Payment Date) mail to each Holder of Securities properly
tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Securities, and the Trustee will
promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each
Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the
Securities surrendered, if any; provided that each new Security will be in a
principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The
Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as
soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.




     If Holders of not less than 95% in aggregate principal amount of a series of
outstanding Securities validly tender and do not withdraw such Securities in a
Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of
Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described below, purchases all of such
Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company will have
the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more
than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer
described above, to redeem such Securities that remain outstanding following such
purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to the applicable Change of Control
Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.




     (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.10, the Company
will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to a series of
Securities upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (1) a third party makes the
Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with
the requirements set forth in this Section 10.10 and purchases all Securities
properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice
of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 11.4 with respect to a redemption
of all such Securities then outstanding pursuant to Article Eleven, unless and until
there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

applicable:

director, without objection to such nomination).

CUSIP No. 947075 AF4




     Weatherford International Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (herein called the “Company”), for
value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of
                     United States Dollars on the maturity date shown above, and to pay interest thereon, at
the annual rate of interest shown above, from the original issue date shown above or from the most
recent Interest Payment Date (as hereinafter defined) to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for, payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year (each, an “Interest
Payment Date”) and at such maturity date, commencing on the first such date after the original
issue date hereof, except that if such original issue date is on or after a Regular Record Date (as
defined below) but before the next Interest Payment Date, interest payments will commence on the
second Interest Payment Date following the original issue date.



     The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment
Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the person in whose name this Note is
registered at the close of business on the “Regular Record Date” for any such Interest Payment
Date, which shall be the fourteenth calendar day (whether or not a Business Day) preceding the
applicable Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for,
and any interest payable on such defaulted interest (to the extent lawful), will forthwith cease to
be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and shall be paid to the person in whose name
this Note is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such
defaulted interest to be fixed by the Company, notice of which shall be given to Holders of Notes
not less than 14 days prior to such special record date. Payment of the principal of and interest
on this Note will be made at the agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in New York, New
York and at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose, in United States

[REVERSE OF NOTE]




WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL LTD.




9.625% Senior Note due 2019




     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (which term includes
any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to) designated as its 9.625%
Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”), issued or to be issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of
October 1, 2003, between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, a New York banking
corporation, as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under such
Indenture), as amended and supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture thereto dated as of
January 8, 2009 (such Indenture, as so amended and supplemented being referred to herein as the
“Indenture”). The terms of this Note include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of
the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. Reference is hereby
made to the Indenture and all further supplemental indentures thereto for a statement of the
respective rights, limitation of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered.



     As provided in the Indenture, Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different
series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may
bear interest, if any, at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions, if
any, may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds, if any, may be subject to
different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided or
permitted. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof.



     This Note is the general, unsecured, senior obligation of the Company and is guaranteed
pursuant to a guarantee (the “Guarantee”) by Weatherford International, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Guarantor”).



     The Notes are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by
mail, at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company at a Redemption Price
equal to the greater of: (a) 100% of the principal amount of Securities then outstanding to be
redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date; or (b) the sum of the
present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities then
outstanding to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of
the redemption date), discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (computed based on a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 50 basis
points (0.50%), as calculated by an Independent Investment Banker, plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon to the redemption date; but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to
such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor
Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face
hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.



     “Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date: (a) the yield, under the
heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most
recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is
published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes
yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the
caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury
Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining life, as defined below,
yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue
will be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such
yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or (b) if such release (or any
successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not
contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the
Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as
a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption
date. The Adjusted Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third business day preceding the
redemption date.



     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an
Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the
Securities to be redeemed that would be used, at the time of selection and in accordance with
customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable
maturity to the remaining term of such Securities.



Second Supplemental Indenture




A-1-4









 





     “Comparable Treasury Price” means (1) the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations
for the redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, or (2) if an Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.



     “Independent Investment Banker” means Banc of America Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc.,
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co. or UBS Securities LLC or any of their
respective successors, as designated by us, or if all such firms are unwilling or unable to serve
as such, an independent investment and banking institution of national standing appointed by the
Company.



     “Reference Treasury Dealer” means: (a) Banc of America Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc.,
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co. and UBS Securities LLC and each of their
respective successors; provided that, if any such Reference Treasury Dealer ceases to be a primary
U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States (Primary Treasury Dealer), the Company will
substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (b) up to two other Primary Treasury Dealer
selected by the Company.



     “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer
and any redemption date, the average, as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, of the bid
and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its
principal amount) quoted in writing to an Independent Investment Banker at 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.



     In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Security or Securities of this
series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder
hereof upon the cancellation hereof.



     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the Guarantor and the rights of
the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the
Company and the Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal
amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company and the Guarantor with certain
provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.
Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Security issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent
or waiver is made upon this Note.



     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note at the times, place(s) and rate, and
in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.



     This Global Security or portion hereof may not be exchanged for Definitive Securities of this
series except in the limited circumstances provided in the Indenture. The holders of beneficial
interests in this Global Security will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive
Securities except as described in the Indenture and will not be considered the Holders thereof for
any purpose under the Indenture.



     The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of U.S. $2,000
and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like
aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.



     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith.



     Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee
and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and
none of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.

Indenture), or (b) need not comply with certain restrictive covenants of the Indenture, in each
case if the Company or the Guarantor deposits, in trust, with the Trustee money or U.S. Government
Obligations (or a combination thereof) which through the payment of interest thereon and principal
thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money, in an amount sufficient to pay all the
principal of and interest on the Notes, but such money need not be segregated from other funds

principal amount) quoted in writing to an Independent Investment Banker at 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.



     In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Security or Securities of this
series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder
hereof upon the cancellation hereof.



     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the Guarantor and the rights of
the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the
Company and the Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal
amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company and the Guarantor with certain
provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.
Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Security issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent
or waiver is made upon this Note.



     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note at the times, place(s) and rate, and
in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.



     This Global Security or portion hereof may not be exchanged for Definitive Securities of this
series except in the limited circumstances provided in the Indenture. The holders of beneficial
interests in this Global Security will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive
Securities except as described in the Indenture and will not be considered the Holders thereof for
any purpose under the Indenture.



     The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of U.S. $2,000
and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like
aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.



     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith.



     Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee
and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and
none of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.

creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator,
shareholder, member, officer, manager or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company

Indenture), or (b) need not comply with certain restrictive covenants of the Indenture, in each
case if the Company or the Guarantor deposits, in trust, with the Trustee money or U.S. Government
Obligations (or a combination thereof) which through the payment of interest thereon and principal
thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money, in an amount sufficient to pay all the
principal of and interest on the Notes, but such money need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law.

unless the Trustee shall have failed to act after notice of an Event of Default and written request
by Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of a series of the Securities and the offer to the
Trustee of indemnity satisfactory to it; however, such provision does not affect the right to sue
for enforcement of any overdue payment on any Security.
