below:

     (a) the tenth anniversary of the Award Date;

     (b) if Optionee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated by the

written notice provided to the Company as set forth in Section 5. Such written notice shall (a)
state the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised, (b)
be accompanied by cash or shares of Common Stock (not subject to limitations on transfer) or a
combination of cash and Common Stock payable to Pride International, Inc. in the full amount of the
purchase price for any shares of Common Stock being acquired and (c) be accompanied by cash or
Common Stock in the full amount of all federal and state withholding or other employment taxes
applicable to the taxable income of such Participant resulting from such exercise (or instructions
to satisfy such withholding obligation by withholding Option Shares in accordance with Section 8);
provided, however, that any shares of Common Stock delivered in payment of the option price that
are or were the subject of an award under the Plan must be shares that the Optionee has owned for a
period of at least six months prior to the date of exercise. For the purpose of determining the
amount, if any, of the purchase price satisfied by payment in Common Stock, such Common Stock shall
be valued at its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Optionee agrees that he will
not exercise the option granted pursuant hereto, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any
option shares pursuant to this Option Agreement, if the exercise of the Option or the issuance of
such shares would constitute a violation by the Optionee or by the Company of any provision of any
law or regulation of any governmental authority or any stock exchange or transaction quotation
system. The Optionee agrees that, unless the options and shares covered by the Plan have been
registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), the Company may, at its
election, require the Optionee to give a representation in writing in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company to the effect that he is acquiring such shares for his own account for
investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of such shares
or any part thereof.

     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.

 

 

	 	5.	 	Notices

     Notice of exercise of the Option must be made in the following manner, using such forms as the
Company may from time to time provide:

     (a) by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, to Pride International,
Inc., Attn: Corporate Secretary, 5847 San Felipe, Suite 3300, Houston, Texas 77057, in which case
the date of exercise shall be the date of mailing; or

     (b) by hand delivery or otherwise to Pride International, Inc., Attn: Corporate Secretary,
5847 San Felipe, Suite 3300, Houston, Texas 77057, in which case the date of exercise shall be the
date when receipt is acknowledged by the Company.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the address of the Company is changed prior
to the date of any exercise of this Option, notice of exercise shall instead be made pursuant to
the foregoing provisions at the Company’s current address.

     Any other notices provided for in this Agreement or in the Plan shall be given in writing and
shall be deemed effectively delivered or given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by
the Company to the Optionee, five days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid,
addressed to the Optionee at the address specified at the end of this Agreement or at such other
address as the Optionee hereafter designates by written notice to the Company.

	 	6.	 	Assignment of Option

     Subject to the approval of the Committee, in its sole discretion, the Option may be
transferred by the Optionee to (i) the children or grandchildren of the Optionee (“Immediate Family
Members”), (ii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members
(“Immediate Family Member Trusts”) or (iii) a partnership or partnerships in which such Immediate
Family Members have at least 99% of the equity, profit and loss interests (“Immediate Family Member
Partnerships”). Subsequent transfers of transferred Options shall be prohibited except by will or
the laws of descent and distribution, unless such transfers are made to the original Optionee or a
person to whom the original Optionee could have made a transfer in the manner described herein. No
transfer shall be effective unless and until written notice of such transfer is provided to the
Committee, in the form and manner prescribed by the Committee. Following transfer, any such
Options shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable
immediately prior to transfer, and, except as otherwise provided herein, the term Optionee shall be
deemed to refer to the transferee.

     After the death of the Optionee, exercise of the Option shall be permitted only by the
Optionee’s executor or the personal representative of the Optionee’s estate (or by his assignee, in
the event of a permitted assignment) and only to the extent that the option was exercisable on the
date of the Optionee’s death.

	 	7.	 	Stock Certificates

     Certificates representing the Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of the Option will
bear all legends required by law and necessary or advisable to effectuate the

 

 

provisions of the Plan and this Option. The Company may place a “stop transfer” order against shares of the
Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option until all restrictions and
conditions set forth in the Plan or this Agreement and in the legends referred to in this Section 7
have been complied with.

	 	8.	 	Withholding

     No certificates representing shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder shall be delivered to
or in respect of an Optionee unless the amount of all federal, state and other governmental
withholding tax requirements imposed upon the Company with respect to the issuance of such shares
of Common Stock has been remitted to the Company or unless provisions to pay such withholding
requirements have been made to the satisfaction of the Committee. The Committee may make such
provisions as it may deem appropriate for the withholding of any taxes which it determines is
required in connection with this Option. The Optionee may pay all or any portion of the taxes
required to be withheld by the Company or paid by the Optionee in connection with the exercise of
all or any portion of this Option by delivering cash, or, with the Committee’s approval, by
electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock, or by delivering previously owned
shares of Common Stock, having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld or
paid. The Optionee may only request withholding Option Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to
the statutory minimum withholding amount. The Optionee must make the foregoing election on or
before the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. If the Optionee is subject to
the short-swing profits recapture provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, any such
election shall be subject to such other restrictions as may be established by the Committee in
order that satisfaction of withholding tax obligations with shares of Common Stock might be exempt
from the operation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act in whole or in part.

	 	9.	 	Shareholder Rights

     The Optionee shall have no rights of a shareholder with respect to shares of Common Stock
subject to the Option unless and until such time as the Option has been exercised and ownership of
such shares of Common Stock has been transferred to the Optionee.

	 	10.	 	Successors and Assigns

     This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Optionee, the
Company and their respective permitted successors and assigns (including personal representatives,
heirs and legatees), except that the Optionee may not assign any rights or obligations under this
Agreement except to the extent and in the manner expressly permitted herein.

	 	11.	 	No Employment Guaranteed

     No provision of this Option Agreement shall confer any right upon the Optionee to continued
employment with the Company or any Subsidiary.

 

 

	 	12.	 	Governing Law

     This Option Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws
of the State of Texas.

	 	13.	 	Amendment

     This Agreement cannot be modified, altered or amended except by an agreement, in writing,
signed by both the Company and the Optionee.
