transfer, to an entity which is not part of the Group. 

  

	3.3	If a Dealing Restriction would prevent the Award Holder acquiring and/or selling Shares on the date that an Award would otherwise Vest, it shall Vest on the first date that the relevant Dealing Restriction is lifted.

  

	3.4	For the purposes of this Plan, an Award Holder shall cease to be employed by a Relevant Company when he gives notice or is given notice of the termination of his employment such that he will no longer be an employee of
a Relevant Company, provided that there are no arrangements for him to commence a new employment with any other Relevant Company. If employment terminates in other circumstances without notice, an Award Holder shall cease to be employed by a
Relevant Company on the date of termination. 

  

	3.5	An Award that Vests under Clause 3.2b., 3.2c., 3.2d., 3.2e or 3.2f above (or is treated as if it had Vested for the purposes of Rule 7 below) shall only Vest pro rata on the basis of the proportion of the period
commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the Vesting Date falling prior to the event; PROVIDED THAT the Board may in its discretion determine that the Award shall Vest in full or otherwise more fully than pro rata. Any part of the Award
that does not Vest under this Clause 3.5 shall lapse. 

  

	3.6	Where an Award Holder ceases to be employed by a Relevant Company for a reason other than death or becoming a Good Leaver, his Award shall lapse and become incapable of Vesting at the end of the 30 day period during
which the Board may determine that he is a Good Leaver pursuant to Clause 1.1; PROVIDED THAT where this Clause 3.6 applies to an Award, where there is an event that would otherwise give rise to Vesting under Clause 3.2, the Award in question
shall not Vest unless and until the Board determines that the Award Holder is a Good Leaver. 

  

	3.7	By accepting any benefit in respect of an Award, the Award Holder agrees that the Tax Liability shall be satisfied by the retention and sale of an appropriate number of Vested Shares on his behalf unless he otherwise
pays to the Company or other person nominated for this purpose an amount equal to the Tax Liability or agrees an alternative method for satisfaction of the Tax Liability with the Company. 

 

	4.	DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS 

  

	4.1	Subject to Clause 4.2, Dividend Equivalents shall accrue in relation to dividends on the Shares that are declared and have a record date falling during the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the date that
an Award is satisfied. 

  

	4.2	No Dividend Equivalents shall accrue in respect of any dividend that the Board has deemed to be a Special Dividend. 

  

	4.3	Each Dividend Equivalent is a notional amount of cash equal to the amount of the dividend declared and paid on a Share (so that the aggregate Dividend Equivalents accruing to an Award shall be a cash amount equal to the
dividend declared and paid on a Share multiplied by the number of shares under Award). 

  

	4.4	An Award Holder shall have no entitlement to actual dividends on the Shares comprised in his Award. 

  

	4.5	Subject to Clause 4.6 below, accrued Dividend Equivalents shall be satisfied by the Company making or procuring a cash payment (reduced to take account of any Tax Liability) to an Award Holder each year in the January
payroll following the date on which the Company pays the related interim or final dividend in respect of Shares (with the first payment no earlier than January 2015), PROVIDED THAT if an Award Holder ceases to be employed by a Relevant
Company other than by reason of death or as a Good Leaver any accrued but unpaid Dividend Equivalents shall immediately lapse. 

  
 4 

	4.6	If an Award Vests early under Clause 3.2b., 3.2c., 3.2d, 3.2e or 3.2f above, a Dividend Equivalent payment by reference to dividends declared and having a record date falling during the period commencing on the prior
31 December and ending on the date the Vested Award is satisfied shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within sixty days of the Award Vesting. 

 

	5.	SATISFACTION OF AWARDS 

  

	5.1	An Award Holder shall not be entitled to vote, to receive dividends or to have any other rights of a shareholder of the Company in respect of Shares comprised in an Award until the issue or transfer of the Shares to
him. 

  

	5.2	The Company shall, not later than sixty days after an Award Vests, allot and issue, transfer or procure the transfer to the Award Holder of such number of Shares as has Vested (subject to the right to withhold and sell
Shares to satisfy any Tax Liability under Clause 3.7). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Award Holder is a Canadian taxpayer at any time during the period commencing at the start of the period the Award is for (or, if earlier, on the Date of
Grant) and ending on the date the Award is satisfied, an Award shall be satisfied no later than three years after the end of the calendar year in which the services in respect of the Award were rendered. 

 

	5.3	A Vested Award may only be satisfied by issuing Shares if and to the extent that arrangements to issue the Shares paid up as to nominal value are made. 

 

	5.4	Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 5.2, the Company reserves the right upon Vesting of an Award to make a cash payment in lieu of issuing Shares in circumstances where the Board considers that an issue or transfer
of Shares to an Award Holder would have a materially adverse effect having regard to legal, tax, regulatory or other circumstances of the Group or the Award Holder. The cash payment will be calculated based on the closing market price of the Shares
as in the “over-the-counter” market in Norway by the Norwegian Securities Dealers Association, known as the Norwegian OTC List, or, if the Shares are listed on a recognized stock exchange, the closing market price quoted by such exchange
on the date the Award Vests. 

  

	5.5	Shares allotted under this Plan on Vesting of an Award shall rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares for the time being in issue save as regards any rights attaching by reference to a record date prior to the
date on which the vested Award is satisfied. 

  

	5.6	In the event that the Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange, and for so long as the Shares are listed on any such stock exchange, the Company shall apply to the appropriate
authorities of such stock exchange(s) for all Shares issued or allotted under this Plan to be admitted for trading on such stock exchange on par with the other Shares. In the event that the Shares are not listed on an appointed stock exchange
(pursuant to section 2(9) of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, as amended from time to time), then the Company shall be required to apply for the consent of the Bermuda Monetary Authority to the issue, allotment or transfer of Shares under this
Plan upon the Vesting of an Award. The Award Holder shall provide such information to the Company so as to enable such application to proceed as is required by the Bermuda Monetary Authority. 

 

	5.7	Shares received under this Plan will be subject to the Insider Trading Regulations of the Company or any other relevant Dealing Restrictions. 

 

	6.	ADJUSTMENTS TO AWARD RIGHTS 

  

	6.1	In the event of any variation in the share capital of the Company (including without limitation a capitalisation, rights issue, open offer, sub-division, consolidation or reduction of capital, a capital distribution,
demerger or other event having a material impact on the value of the Shares), the Board may make such adjustments with regard to the aggregate number of Shares subject to any Award and the terms of any Award as it considers fair and reasonable.

  

	6.2	The Board shall give notice in writing to each Award Holder affected by any adjustment made pursuant to Clause 6.1 specifying the date on which such adjustment takes effect and may, at its discretion, deliver to him a
revised Award Certificate in respect of his Award. 

  

	7.	WINDING-UP 

  

	7.1	If notice is given by the Board to the shareholders of the Company of the intention to propose the passing of a shareholders’ resolution for the voluntary winding-up of the
Company, notice of the same shall also be given by the Board to the Award Holders. 

  
 5 

	7.2	In such event each Award Holder will be entitled to participate in the assets available in the winding-up pari passu with the shareholders of the Company as if he were a
shareholder in relation to such number of Shares to which he would have been entitled had his Award so Vested on a pro-rata basis (as provided in Clause 3.5 above and subject to the same proviso that the Board may in its discretion determine that
the Award shall be treated as if it had Vested in full or otherwise more fully than pro rata). Any part of the Award that does not Vest under this Clause 7.2 shall lapse on the commencement of the winding-up.

  

	7.3	Awards shall lapse immediately on a compulsory winding-up of the Company. 

  

	8.	VARIATION OF THE PLAN 

  

	8.1	The Board may at any time alter or add to the Rules in any respect, provided that: 

  

	 	a.	the Board may not cancel an Award except where (i) the Award Holder has breached the provisions of Clause 9.6 or (ii) the Award Holder has previously agreed; and 

 

	 	b.	the Board may not modify the terms of an Award already granted in a manner materially adverse to the Award Holder except with the consent of the Award Holder. 

 

	8.2	The Board shall give notice in writing to each Award Holder of any alteration or addition made pursuant to this Clause 8 and may, at its discretion, deliver to each Award Holder a revised Award Certificate in respect of
his Award. 

  

	9.	GENERAL PROVISIONS 

  

	9.1	The Board may from time to time make and vary such regulations and establish such procedures for the administration and implementation of this Plan as it thinks fit including, without limitation, delegating the exercise
of its powers and discretions in relation to this Plan to any one or more persons and appointing or engaging specialist service providers for the operation and administration of this Plan.

such information for all purposes relating to the operation of this Plan including, without limitation, making information available to any relevant tax authority or to any other person as the Company or other person considers reasonable. An Award
Holder further agrees that agents of the Company or the Group, wherever located, may process data concerning his participation in this Plan and transmit it outside the Award Holder’s country of residence. 

 

	9.5	The rights and obligations of an Eligible Person or Award Holder under the terms on which the Eligible Person or Award Holder holds his office or employment with a Relevant Company shall not be affected by his
participation in this Plan or by any right he may have to participate and this Plan shall not give rise to any rights to compensation or damages in connection with the termination of an office or employment for any reason whatsoever. Benefits under

a corporation organized under the laws of Norway, with head office at Finnestadveien 28, 4001 Stavanger, Norway (“North Atlantic”). 

WHEREAS, North Atlantic is responsible for the day to day management of the business of North Atlantic Drilling Ltd. and its subsidiary companies ( the
“North Atlantic Group”); and 
 WHEREAS, Seadrill is responsible for the day to day management of the business of Seadrill Limited and its

 WHEREAS North Atlantic performs drilling activities within the North Atlantic Region (as defined below), and
has special expertise to undertake drilling activities in the harsh environment prevalent in the North Atlantic Region; and 
 WHEREAS Seadrill has
reorganized its activities in the North Atlantic Region and, as part of such reorganization, it is in both Parties’ current best interest that drilling activities within the North Atlantic Region be primarily developed by North Atlantic, and
that drilling activities outside the North Atlantic Region be primarily developed by members of the Seadrill Group other than North Atlantic; and 
 WHEREAS
the Parties wish to enter into this Agreement to set forth the rules that shall govern their relationship with regard to the drilling activities that each of them shall undertake within and outside the North Atlantic Region. 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and obligations herein contained, the Parties agree as follows:

Opportunity, should North Atlantic not exercise the North Atlantic Preemptive Right. In such notification, Seadrill will grant to North Atlantic a reasonable term for North Atlantic to exercise the North Atlantic Preemptive Right, taking into

require otherwise, such term to be granted by Seadrill shall not be shorter than thirty (30) days nor longer than ninety (90) days 
 1.3 The
absence of a response by North Atlantic within the stipulated term of the notification, confirming that it is already taking the required actions for the North Atlantic Business Opportunity and detailing such actions, will be construed as a waiver

 2.1 In case North Atlantic identifies a business opportunity for the
North Atlantic Group for drilling activities outside the North Atlantic Region (“Seadrill Business Opportunity”), North Atlantic undertakes to grant to Seadrill, the preemptive right to participate in the Seadrill Business Opportunity

Seadrill Business Opportunity that North Atlantic would like to pursue, North Atlantic will notify Seadrill of such Seadrill Business Opportunity and the intent of North Atlantic to pursue the Seadrill Business Opportunity, should Seadrill not
exercise the Seadrill Preemptive Right. In such notification, North Atlantic will grant to Seadrill a reasonable term for Seadrill to exercise the Seadrill Preemptive Right, taking into consideration, in establishing such term, the time necessary to

 2.3 The absence of a response by Seadrill within the
stipulated term of the notification, confirming that it is already taking the required actions for the Seadrill Business Opportunity and detailing such actions, will be construed as a waiver by Seadrill of the Preemptive Right, and North Atlantic
shall be, as of such term, free to pursue the Business Opportunity.
