 Exhibit 10.2 
 FORM OF COMMERCIAL PAPER ISSUING AND PAYING AGENT 
 AGREEMENT

 Agreement, dated as of                 ,
2012 (this “Agreement”), between                 (“Issuing and Paying Agent”) and Noble Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by
shares, having an office at Suite 3D, Landmark Square, 64 Earth Close, P.O. Box 31327, Georgetown, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, BWI (the “Company”). 
 WITNESSETH: 
 THAT WHEREAS, the Company wishes to appoint Issuing
and Paying Agent as its agent in connection with the issuance and payment of its short-term promissory notes described below and Issuing and Paying Agent wishes to accept such appointment, each on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereby agree
as follows: 
 Section 1. Appointment and Acceptance 

The Company hereby appoints Issuing and Paying Agent as its agent for the Company in connection with the issuance and payment of Notes (as
defined below), and Issuing and Paying Agent agrees to act as such upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 

Section 2. Form of Notes 
 The Company’s short-term promissory notes to be issued by the Company hereunder shall mean promissory notes of the Company, offered for sale in a transaction which is exempt from registration under
either (i) Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and having maturities of 397 days or less, or (ii) Section 3(a)(3), or 3(a)(2) of the 1933 Act and having maturities of 270 days or
less, and will be book-entry notes only represented by a master note issued by the Company in connection with the book-entry commercial paper program of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or other depository (book-entry notes herein
called the “Notes” and individually a “Note”). 
 Section 3. Issuance of Notes; Authorized
Agents 
  

	 	(A)	Pursuant to the Direct for Securities On Line User Agreement (the “User Agreement”) with Issuing and Paying Agent, Issuing and Paying Agent will accept
issuance and payment instructions for the Notes through Direct for Securities-Issuing and Paying Agent North America (“CIPANA”) from certain officers and employees of the Company, dealers, or others authorized by the Company to access
CIPANA (the “Authorized Agents”). 

 If an Authorized Agent specifies that a Note shall be issued in book-entry form represented
by a Master Note, the Authorized Agent shall transmit its instructions through CIPANA in accordance with the standard prevailing book-entry Note program procedures of the DTC. The release by an Authorized Agent of the issuance instructions to the
DTC shall constitute the issuance of a book-entry Note. 
  

	 	(B)	The Authorized Agents shall not instruct Issuing and Paying Agent to issue any Note with a maturity date which is (i) greater than the tenor allowable under the
applicable law or (ii) a day on which Issuing and Paying Agent’s or, the appropriate depository’s offices in New York, New York are not open for business. If applicable under this Agreement, Extendible Commercial Notes
(“ECNs”) shall have maturities of 397 days or less. 

  

	 	(C)	The Company, or in the case of its dealers, the dealer, will supply Issuing and Paying Agent with an incumbency certificate listing the names of the Authorized Agents
together with specimens of their signatures. Until Issuing and Paying Agent receives a subsequent incumbency certificate from the Company or the dealer, as the case may be, Issuing and Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely on the last such
certificate delivered to it for purposes of determining the Authorized Agents. 

 Section 4. Delivery
of Notes and Payment for Note 
  

	 	(A)	All Notes shall be delivered in accordance with DTC rules. 

  

	 	(B)	All funds to be used in payment for Notes are to be credited to the Company’s account
number                 at Issuing and Paying Agent (the “Company’s Account”). This account may be changed upon written instruction from the Company,
accepted by Issuing and Paying Agent. 

 Section 5. Payment of Notes at Maturity 

Issuing and Paying Agent agrees to effect payment on the Company’s behalf by debiting the Company’s Account in the amount of the
face value amount of such Note, plus interest, if applicable, and to enter appropriate notations of payment. The Company agrees to maintain a sufficient credit balance in said account to pay each Note at maturity. 

The Company acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Issuing and Paying Agent to extend credit, grant financial accommodation, or
otherwise advance funds to the Company for the purpose of making any such payments or part thereof or otherwise effecting such transactions. 

  
 2 

 Section 6. Instructions  

 

	 	(A)	The Company understands that all instructions are to be in writing, directed to Issuing and Paying Agent’s Agency and Trust Department. Instructions transmitted
through computer terminals (including CIPANA) or by facsimile shall be considered written instructions for the purpose of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(B)	All instructions with respect to the issuance of Notes must be given via computer terminal (including CIPANA) by 1:00 p.m. New York time in order for the Notes to be
issued on the same day. 

  

	 	(C)	Prepayment instructions and cancellations of a previous issuance instruction will be accepted for book-entry issuances from an Authorized Agent if received by Issuing
and Paying Agent by 2:00 p.m. New York time and, in the case of facsimile instructions, only after a confirming telephone call back to another Authorized Agent of the entity which gave the instruction. Regarding ECNs, notice that the Company will
not redeem any Notes on the relevant Initial Redemption Date (“as defined in the applicable Extendible Commercial Note Announcement”) must be received in writing by Issuing and Paying Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York time, on such Initial
Redemption Date. 

  

	 	(D)	If Issuing and Paying Agent acts on any instruction it believes in good faith to have been sent by an Authorized Agent, Issuing and Paying Agent shall not, provided it
complies with this Section 6, be responsible if that instruction is not an authorized instruction of the Company or is not in the form the Company sent or intended to send (whether due to fraud, distortion or otherwise) and the Company shall
indemnify Issuing and Paying Agent against any loss, liability claim or expense (including reasonable legal fees) it may incur in connection with its acting in accordance with that instruction. 

 

	 	(E)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any and all communications (both text and attachments) by or from the Issuing and Paying Agent that the Issuing
and Paying Agent in its sole discretion deems to contain confidential, proprietary, and/or sensitive information and sent by electronic mail will be encrypted. The recipient (the “Email Recipient”) of the email communication will be
required to complete a one-time registration process. Information and assistance on registering and using the encryption technology can be found at Issuing and Paying Agent’s secure website at,
                or by calling                 (in the U.S.)

	 	(iii)	The offer and sale by the Company of such Notes will (a) constitute exempt transactions under Section 4(a)(2) or (b) involve exempt securities under
Section 3(a)(3) or 3(a)(2) of the 1933 Act and, accordingly, registration of the Notes under the 1933 Act will not be required. Qualification of an indenture with respect to the Notes under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, will not
be required in connection with the offer, issuance, sale or delivery of the Notes.

connection with, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or the Notes.

before and after giving effect to such issuance the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 7(A) hereof remain true and correct on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent such
representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date).

negligence or willful misconduct. The Company shall not be liable hereunder to any Indemnified Person regarding any settlement, compromise or entry of judgment with respect to any claim, loss, damage or liability unless such settlement, compromise
or entry of judgment is consented to by the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 Section 13. Termination 

This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon 30 days prior written notice to the other. Termination of this Agreement shall not

the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to Notes outstanding, as of the termination date, until such Notes have matured and been paid by the Company, but shall have no obligation with respect to the issuance of Notes after such
termination date.

subject matter hereof and supersedes in all respects all prior proposals, negotiations, conversations, discussions and agreements between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which
