Dear           :

Effective as of                          (the “Award Date”), TODCO (the “Company”)
hereby grants to you            restricted shares (“Restricted Stock”) of the
Company’s Class A Common Stock (“Common Stock”) in accordance with the TODCO
Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Your award is more fully described in
the attached Appendix A, Terms and Conditions of Non-Employee Director
Restricted Stock Award.

Unless otherwise provided in the attached Appendix A, your Restricted Stock
will become 100% and fully vested on the tenth anniversary of the Award Date
(the “Vesting Date”); provided, however, that you must be in continuous service
as a Director of the Company from the Award Date through the Vesting Date in
order for your Restricted Stock to vest. In the event that the Vesting Date is
a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, you will instead obtain that 100% vested right
on the first business day immediately following the Vesting Date.

Your Restricted Stock is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
enclosed Plan, any additional terms and conditions set forth in the attached
Appendix A and the Prospectus for the Plan, and any rules and regulations
adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors.

This award letter and the attachments contain the formal terms and conditions

Terms and Conditions of

Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Award

The restricted shares (“Restricted Stock”) granted to you by TODCO (the
“Company”) of Class A Common Stock (“Common Stock”) of the Company are subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in the TODCO Long-Term Incentive Plan
(the “Plan”), any rules and regulations adopted by the Company’s Board of
Directors (the “Board”), any additional terms and conditions set forth in this
Appendix A which forms a part of the attached award letter to you (“Award
Letter”) and the Prospectus for the Plan. Any terms used in this Appendix A
and not defined in the Award Letter or this Appendix A have the meanings set
forth in the Plan. In the event there is an inconsistency between the terms of
the Plan and this Appendix A, the terms of the Plan will control.

1.  Vesting of Restricted Stock

Unless vested on an earlier date as provided in this Appendix A, the Restricted
Stock granted pursuant to your Award Letter will vest on the Vesting Date as
set forth in your Award Letter.

In certain circumstances described in paragraphs 4 and 5 below, your Restricted
Stock may vest before the Vesting Date.

2.  Restrictions on the Restricted Stock

Until your Restricted Stock has vested, you may not sell, transfer,
assign or pledge the shares. Stock certificates representing your
Restricted Stock will be registered in your name as of the Award Date,
but will be held by the Company on your behalf until such shares vest.
When shares of your Restricted Stock vest, a certificate representing
such shares will be delivered to you (or, in the event of your death, to
your beneficiary under the Plan) as soon as practicable.

3.  Dividends and Voting

You will have the right to vote your Restricted Stock. From the Award
Date, all cash dividends payable with respect to your Restricted Stock
will be paid directly to you at the same time dividends are paid with
respect to all other shares of Common Stock.

 

 

4.  Termination of Service

      (a)  General. The following rules apply to the vesting of your Restricted Stock in
the event of your termination of service as a Director of the Company.

            (i)  Death or Disability. If your service is terminated by reason of death or
disability (as determined by the Board), all of your Restricted Stock will
immediately vest.

            (ii)  Failure to be Re-Elected or Re-Nominated. If your service is terminated
because you fail to be re-elected or re-nominated for service as a Director,
all of your Restricted Stock will immediately vest; provided, however, that
your failure to be re-nominated is not for cause (as determined by the Board).

            (iii)  At the Board’s Request. If you resign as a Director at the request of the
Board based upon a determination made by the Board, in its sole discretion,
that your resignation would be in the best interests of the Company, all of
your Restricted Stock will immediately vest.

            (iv)  Other Termination of Service. If your service terminates for any reason other
than those provided in clauses (i) through (iii) above, any of your shares of
Restricted Stock which have not vested prior to your termination of service
will be forfeited unless otherwise determined by the Board.

      (b)  Board Determinations. The Board shall have absolute discretion to determine
the date and circumstances of termination of your service, and its
determination shall be final, conclusive and binding upon you.

5.  Change in Control

All of your Restricted Stock will vest immediately upon a Change in
Control of the Company.

6.  Income Tax Withholding

You must make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy any
applicable federal, state or local withholding tax liability arising from
the grant or vesting of your Restricted Stock. You can either make a
cash payment to the Company of the required amount or, if you do not make
a Section 83(b) election, you can elect to satisfy your withholding
obligation by having the Company retain a certain number of shares of
Common Stock having a value equal to the amount of your minimum statutory
withholding obligation from the shares otherwise deliverable to you upon
the vesting of your Restricted Stock. If you fail to satisfy your
withholding obligation in a time and manner satisfactory to the Company,
the Company shall have the right to withhold the required amounts payable
to you.

 

 

7.  Restrictions on Resale

Other than the restrictions referenced in paragraph 2, there are no
restrictions imposed by the Plan on the resale of Common Stock acquired
under the Plan. However, under the provisions of the Securities Act of
1933 (the “Securities Act”) and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), resales of Common Stock
acquired under the Plan by certain Directors of the Company who may be
deemed to be “affiliates” of the Company must be made pursuant to an
appropriate effective registration statement filed with the SEC, pursuant
to the provisions of Rule 144 issued under the Securities Act, or
pursuant to another exemption from registration provided in the
Securities Act. The Company has filed an effective registration
statement with the SEC. There are no restrictions imposed by the SEC of
Common Stock acquired under the Plan by persons who are not affiliates of
the Company.

If you have any questions regarding your Restricted Stock award or would like
to obtain additional information about the Plan, please contact the Company’s
General Counsel, TODCO, 2000 W. Sam Houston Parkway South, Suite 800, Houston,
Texas 77042 (telephone (713) 278-6000). Your Award Letter and this Appendix A

dated

Terms and Conditions of

Nonqualified Stock Option Award

The nonqualified stock option (the “Option”) granted to you by TODCO (the
“Company”) to purchase Class A Common Stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) is
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the TODCO Long-Term Incentive
Plan (the “Plan”), any rules and regulations adopted by the Executive
Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”),
any additional terms and conditions set forth in this Appendix A which forms a
part of the attached award letter to you (the “Award Letter”) and the enclosed
Prospectus for the Plan. Any terms used in this Appendix A and not defined in
the Award Letter or this Appendix A have the meanings set forth in the Plan.
In the event there is an inconsistency between the terms of the Plan and this
Appendix A, the terms of the Plan will control.

	1.	 	Exercise Price

You may purchase the Shares of Common Stock covered by the Option for the
Exercise Price stated in your Award Letter.

	2.	 	Term of Option

Your Option expires on the Expiration Date stated in your Award Letter.
However, your Option will terminate prior to the Expiration Date as
provided in paragraph 6 of this Appendix A upon the occurrence of one of
the events described in that paragraph. Regardless of the provisions of
paragraph 6, in no event can your Option be exercised after the
Expiration Date, except that an Option which is outstanding on the date
of your death shall remain outstanding and exercisable until the later of
(i) one year after your death, or (ii) the Expiration Date.

	3.	 	Vesting of Option

	(a)	 	Unless it becomes exercisable on an earlier date as provided
in paragraphs 6 and 7 below, your Option will become exercisable as
set forth in the Schedule in your Award Letter.

 

 

	(b)	 	You may exercise the Option as to all or any part of the shares covered by the Option, at any time on or before the date the Option expires or terminates.

	4.	 	Exercise of Option

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Appendix A and in the Plan,
your Option may be exercised by written notice provided to the Company as
set forth below. Such written notice shall (a) state the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which your Option is being
exercised and (b) be accompanied by a wire transfer, cashier’s check,
cash or money order payable to TODCO in the full amount of the Exercise
Price for any shares of Common Stock being acquired and any appropriate
withholding taxes (as provided in paragraph 8 of this Appendix), or by
other consideration in the form and manner approved by the Committee
pursuant to paragraphs 5 and 8 of this Appendix. If any law or
regulation requires the Company to take any action with respect to the shares specified in such notice, the time for delivery thereof, which
would otherwise be as promptly as possible, shall be postponed for the
period of time necessary to take such action. You shall have no rights
of a shareholder with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to your
Option unless and until such time as your Option has been exercised and
ownership of such shares of Common Stock has been transferred to you.

	5.	 	Satisfaction of Exercise Price

	(a)	 	Payment of Cash or Common Stock. Your Option may be
exercised by payment in cash (including check, bank draft, money
order or wire transfer payable to the Company), in Common Stock, in
a combination of cash and Common Stock or in such other manner as
the Committee in its discretion may provide.
	 
	(b)	 	Payment of Common Stock. The fair market value of any shares of Common Stock tendered as all or part of the Exercise Price
shall be the average of the high and low prices of the Common Stock
as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape for the
date of exercise. The certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock
tendered must be duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock
powers. Only stock certificates issued solely in your name may be
tendered in exercise of your Option. Fractional shares may not be
tendered in satisfaction of the Exercise Price; any portion of the
Exercise Price which is in excess of the aggregate fair market value
of the number of whole shares tendered must be paid in cash. If a
certificate tendered in exercise of the Option evidences more shares
than are required pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence for
satisfaction of the portion of the Exercise Price being paid in
Common Stock, an appropriate replacement certificate will be issued
to you for the number of excess shares.

 

 

	6.	 	Termination of Employment

	(a)	 	General. The following rules apply to your Option in the
event of your death, disability, retirement, or other termination of
service as a director.

	(i)	 	Termination of Service. If your service as a
director terminates for any reason other than death,
disability, retirement, or for the convenience of the Company
(as those terms are used below), your Option will terminate
60 days after termination of your service.
	 
	(ii)	 	Retirement. If your service as a director
terminates by reason of retirement, your Option will
terminate three years after the date of your retirement..
	 
	(iii)	 	Death or Disability. If your service as a
director terminates by reason of death or disability (as
determined by the Committee), your Option will remain
exercisable until the Expiration Date.
	 
	(iv)	 	Convenience of the Company. If your service
as a director is terminated for the convenience of the
Company (as determined by the Committee) or if you retire for
the convenience of the Company (as determined by the
Committee), your Option will remain exercisable until the
Expiration Date.
	 
	(v)	 	Adjustments by the Committee. The Committee
may, in its sole discretion, exercised before or after your
termination of service as a director permit all or any part
of your Option to remain exercisable for such period
designated by it after the time when the Option would have
otherwise terminated as provided in the applicable portion of
this paragraph 6(a), but not beyond the Expiration Date of
your Option.

	(b)	 	Committee Determinations. The Committee shall have
absolute discretion to determine the date and circumstances of
termination of your service as a director, and its determination
shall be final, conclusive and binding upon you.

	7.	 	Change in Control

Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs 3 and 6, upon the occurrence
of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), your Option will remain
exercisable until the Expiration Date.

 

 

	8.	 	Tax Consequences and Withholding

	(a)	 	You should consult the TODCO Long-Term Incentive Plan
Prospectus for a general summary of the federal income tax
consequences of your Option based on currently applicable provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and related regulations.
The summary does not discuss state and local tax laws, which may
differ from the federal tax law. For these reasons, you are urged
to consult your own tax advisor regarding the application of the tax
laws to your particular situation.
	 
	(b)	 	The Option is not intended to be an “incentive stock option,”
as defined in Section 422 of the Code.
	 
	(c)	 	You must make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to
satisfy any applicable federal, state or local withholding tax
liability arising from the grant or exercise of your Option. You
can either make a cash payment to the Company of the required amount
or you can elect to satisfy your withholding obligation by having
the Company retain shares of Common Stock having a value equal to
the amount of your withholding obligation from the shares otherwise
deliverable to you upon the exercise of your Option. You may not
elect to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock having a
value in excess of the minimum statutory withholding tax liability.
If you fail to satisfy your withholding obligation in a time and
manner satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall have the right
to withhold the required amount from your salary or other amounts
payable to you.

	9.	 	Restrictions on Resale

There are no restrictions imposed by the Plan on the resale of shares of
Common Stock acquired under the Plan. However, under the provisions of
the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”),
resales of shares acquired under the Plan by certain officers and
directors of the Company who may be deemed to be “affiliates” of the
Company must be made pursuant to an appropriate effective registration
statement filed with the SEC, pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144
issued under the Securities Act, or pursuant to another exemption from
registration provided in the Securities Act. At the present time, the
Company does not have a currently effective registration statement
pursuant to which such resales may be made by affiliates. There are no
restrictions imposed by the SEC on the resale of shares acquired under
the Plan by persons who are not affiliates of the Company.

 

 

	10.	 	Effect on Other Benefits

Income recognized by you as a result of exercise of the Option will not
be included in the formula for calculating benefits under any of the
Company’s retirement and disability plans or any other benefit plans.

If you have any questions regarding your Option or would like to obtain
additional information about the Plan or the Committee, please contact the
Company’s General Counsel, TODCO, 2000 W. Sam Houston Parkway South, Suite 800,
