                                                                  EXECUTION COPY

                             PLAN SUPPORT AGREEMENT

     This PLAN SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into as
of June 18, 2003, by and among (i) Petroleum Geo-Services ASA ("PGS"), (ii) the
persons identified on Schedule 1-A (collectively, the "Supporting Noteholders"),
(iii) the persons identified on Schedule 1-B (collectively, the "Supporting
TPrS"), (iv) the persons identified on Schedule 1-C (collectively, the
"Supporting Banks", together with the Supporting Noteholders and the Supporting
TPrS, the "Supporting Creditors"), and (v) the persons identified on Schedule
1-D (collectively, the "Supporting Shareholders", together with the Supporting
Noteholders, the Supporting TPrS and the Supporting Banks, the "Supporting Third
Parties"; PGS and the Supporting Third Parties, collectively, the "Parties" and
each individually, a "Party"), each of whom is a signatory to this Agreement.

                                    RECITALS

WHEREAS:

     A. PGS issued from time to time the several series of notes described on
Schedule 2-A (collectively, the "Notes");

     B. PGS guaranteed certain trust preferred securities, and certain PGS
affiliates entered into certain documentation, relating to the trust preferred
securities, described on Schedule 2-B (collectively, the "Trust Preferred
Securities");

     C. PGS is a borrower under the credit facilities described on Schedule 2-C
(the "Bank Facilities");

     D. PGS issued from time to time certain publicly traded ordinary shares
that currently trade on the Norwegian Stock Exchange (the "Shares", together
with the Notes, the Trust Preferred Securities, and the Bank Facilities, the
"Relevant Documents");

     E. PGS is currently contemplating a restructuring (the "Restructuring") of
the financial obligations set forth in the Relevant Documents through the
prosecution of a chapter 11 case (the "Chapter 11 Case"; the court adjudicating
the Chapter 11 Case is referred to as the "Bankruptcy Court")

     F. The Supporting Noteholders, Supporting Banks and Supporting TPrS have
formed an ad hoc committee, fairly chosen by such creditors, and representative
of all the creditor claims to be impaired pursuant to the Term Sheet (the "ad
hoc Committee"). The members of the ad hoc Committee are set forth on Schedule
1-E.

     G. The Parties have reached an agreement in principle on the terms and
conditions for the Restructuring which agreement is summarized in that certain
"Petroleum Geo-Services ASA Summary of Proposed Terms for Balance Sheet
Restructuring" (the "Term Sheet") attached

<PAGE>

hereto as Exhibit A; the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Sheet are
expressly incorporated herein and made a part hereof;

     H. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the best way to proceed
to effectuate the Restructuring is to do so in a way that would:

     1. maximize the value of PGS, its subsidiaries and all of their operations
        for the benefit of all interested persons; and

     2. minimize the disruption to PGS and its subsidiaries resulting from the
        commencement of the Chapter 11 Case, by seeking to conclude the Chapter
        11 Case as quickly as possible;

     I. The Parties desire to express to each other their mutual support and
commitment in respect of the matters discussed in the Term Sheet; and

     J. In expressing such support and commitment, the Parties do not desire and
do not intend in any way to derogate from or diminish the solicitation
requirements of applicable securities and bankruptcy laws, the fiduciary duties
of PGS under Norwegian law or as a debtor in possession, or the fiduciary duties
of any Supporting Creditor who is appointed to the official committee of
unsecured creditors (the "Creditors' Committee") in the Chapter 11 Case.

                                    AGREEMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby
agree as follows:

     1. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Term Sheet.

     2. Term Sheet Conditions. Without limiting the conditions set forth herein,
each Party's agreement to this Agreement and support for the Term Sheet is
expressly conditioned on satisfaction of each of the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement. To the extent any such conditions involve a time period
or an outside date for satisfaction, the Parties acknowledge and agree that time
is of the essence with respect to each such condition.

     3. PGS Support. PGS believes that the implementation of the terms set forth
in the Term Sheet will best facilitate the Restructuring and that consummation
of the settlements described in the Term Sheet is in its best interests and in
the best interests of its creditors and other parties in interest. Accordingly,
PGS hereby expresses its intention to file and seek confirmation of a plan of
reorganization (the "PGS Plan") consistent with the terms and provisions of the
Term Sheet. Without limiting the foregoing, PGS undertakes and commits, for so
long as this Agreement remains in effect:

                                       2

     conditions precedent to this Agreement, subject to obtaining sufficient
     creditor support to implement the Restructuring;

          b. to submit for, and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain at the
     earliest practicable date, Bankruptcy Court approval of a disclosure
     statement (as approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the "Disclosure Statement")
     in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the ad hoc Committee;

          c. to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit the requisite votes
     in favor of, and to obtain confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court at the
     earliest practicable date of, the PGS Plan consistent with the Term Sheet

     Committee and approval by the Bankruptcy Court of the settlements set forth
     in the Term Sheet;

          d. subject to any requirements under Norwegian law, not to pursue,
     propose or support, or encourage the pursuit, proposal or support of, any
     plan of reorganization for PGS, or any PGS subsidiary or affiliate, that is
     not consistent with the Term Sheet and the PGS Plan (for the avoidance of
     doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit or restrict PGS
     from filing a Norwegian composition proceeding);

          e. to otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to
     be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things,
     necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to
     consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by the Term
     Sheet and by the PGS Plan at the earliest practicable date (including
     opposing any appeal of the order confirming the PGS Plan);

          f. to convene one or more general meetings of shareholders of PGS,
     either by annual general meeting or at an extraordinary general meeting,
     and propose and recommend the shareholder resolutions necessary to

     decrease and/or increase, as appropriate, the share capital of PGS, a
     resolution to issue the new ordinary shares, a resolution to amend the
     articles of association of PGS, a resolution to change the composition of
     the board of directors of PGS and such other resolutions as may be
     reasonably required to implement the Term Sheet;

          g. support and otherwise use their reasonable best efforts to have the
     ad hoc Committee recognized and appointed by the United States Trustee for
     the Southern District of New York (the "US Trustee") as the Creditors'
     Committee in the Chapter 11 Case pursuant to 11 U.S.C.ss.1102(b); and

          h. to pay, or procure the payment of, before the filing of the Chapter
     11 Case, all reasonable prepetition fees and expenses of PGS, the
     Supporting Third Parties and the Indenture Trustee for the Noteholders and
     the Indenture Trustee for the TPrS (collectively, the "Indenture Trustees")
     relating to the Restructuring, and of their legal and financial advisors
     relating to the Restructuring, outstanding at the time of such filing

                                       3

     reasonable postpetition fees and expenses of PGS, the Supporting Third
     Parties and the Indenture Trustees in the Chapter 11 Case, and of their
     legal and financial advisors in the Chapter 11 Case, upon the consummation
     of the PGS Plan;

in all events, expressly subject to the exercise by PGS and its officers and
directors of their respective fiduciary duties. Except with respect to the
payment of prepetition fees set forth in paragraph 3.h., the commitment set
forth in 3.a. is a condition precedent to each and every other commitment set
forth in this paragraph 3.

     4. Supporting Third Parties' Claims and Support. Each Supporting Noteholder
represents and warrants, on a several but not joint basis, that, as of the date
hereof, it is the legal or beneficial holder of, or holder of investment
authority over, the Notes identified on its signature page hereto (collectively,
such Supporting Noteholder's "Relevant Notes") and has or will have the
authority to vote or direct the voting of claims relating to the Relevant Notes.
Each Supporting TPrS represents and warrants, on a several but not joint basis,
that, as of the date hereof, it is the legal or beneficial holder of, or holder
of investment authority over, the Trust Preferred Securities identified on its

Preferred Securities") and has or will have the authority to vote or direct the
voting of claims relating to the Relevant Trust Preferred Securities. Each
Supporting Bank represents and warrants, on a several but not joint basis, that,

Supporting Shareholder represents and warrants, on a several but not joint
basis, that, as of the date hereof, it is the legal or beneficial holder of the
number of shares of PGS identified on its signature page hereto (collectively,
such Supporting Shareholder's "Relevant Shares"; all Supporting Third Parties'
Relevant Notes, Relevant Trust Preferred Securities, Relevant Debt and Relevant
Shares, collectively, the "Relevant Interests")) and has or will have the
authority to vote or direct the voting of Relevant Shares. Each Supporting Third
Party believes that consummation of the PGS Plan consistent with the Term Sheet
is in its best interests. Accordingly, each Supporting Third Party will support
the PGS Plan consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, those contained in paragraph 8 relating to the
Backstop Agreement (as defined in paragraph 8 below)). Without limiting the
foregoing, each Supporting Third Party commits to, for so long as this Agreement
remains in effect:

          a. support the PGS Plan and use its reasonable best efforts to
     facilitate the filing and confirmation of the PGS Plan at the earliest
     practicable date;

          b. not pursue, propose, support, vote to accept or encourage the
     pursuit, proposal or support of, any chapter 11 plan, or other
     restructuring or reorganization for PGS, or any PGS subsidiary or
     affiliate, directly or indirectly in any jurisdiction, that is not
     consistent with the Term Sheet and the PGS Plan;

                                       4

     under Norwegian law), or prosecute any objection to oppose or object to the
     PGS Plan or to the Disclosure Statement, and not to take any action that
     would delay approval or confirmation, as applicable, of the Disclosure
     Statement and the PGS Plan; provided, however, that the Supporting Third
     Party may object to the disclosure statement solely on the basis that it
     does not contain adequate information as required by section 1125 of the
     Bankruptcy Code;

          e. support and use its reasonable best efforts to have the ad hoc
     Committee recognized and appointed by the US Trustee as the Creditors'
     Committee in the Chapter 11 Case pursuant to 11 U.S.C.ss.1102(b);

          f. only in the case of the Supporting Banks and any Supporting

     proposal to take any enforcement action;

          g. only in the case of the Supporting Shareholders, to vote in favor

     New York, as indenture trustee (the "Oslo Seismic Notes"), (i) shall not
     take any action, or direct the indenture trustee thereof to take any
     action, contrary to those actions set forth above in this paragraph 4; and
     (ii) shall not transfer its holdings of the Oslo Seismic Notes unless the
     transferee agrees to be bound by this Agreement;

          i. in the event PGS files for a forced composition (tvangsakkord)

<PAGE>

     affiliates, support the PGS Plan and not take any action inconsistent with
     the purposes of this Agreement;

in each case consistent with the terms and provisions of the Term Sheet and this
Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if any Supporting Creditor is appointed to and serves on the
Creditors' Committee, the terms of this Agreement shall not be construed to
limit such Supporting Creditor's exercise of its fiduciary duties in its role as
a member of the Creditors' Committee, and any exercise of such fiduciary duties
shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of the terms of this Agreement.

     5. Acknowledgement.

          a. No Solicitation. While the Supporting Third Parties commit herein
     to support the PGS Plan and it is their intention to vote in favor of the
     PGS Plan, this Agreement is not and shall not be deemed to be a
     solicitation for consent to the PGS Plan. The acceptance of the Supporting
     Third Parties will not be solicited until the Supporting Third Parties have
     received the Disclosure Statement and the related ballots in forms approved
     by the Bankruptcy Court. The foregoing shall in no way limit any Party's
     rights under paragraph 19.

          b. No Norwegian Filing. Each Supporting Third Party hereby
     acknowledges that PGS intends to file the Chapter 11 Case without
     concurrently filing for (a) voluntary composition (gjeldsforhandlinger),
     (b) forced composition (tvangsakkord) or (c) bankruptcy (konkurs) under
     Norwegian law (each of (a), (b) and (c) being a "Norwegian Filing") and
     accordingly each Supporting Third Party agrees that: (i) PGS does so with
     its consent (and this Agreement shall be evidence of such consent for the
     purposes of section 283a, first paragraph, item (2), of the Criminal Act
     (Straffeloven) of May 22, 1902 of the Kingdom of Norway); and (ii) it will
     not seek to hold the directors or officers of PGS personally liable
     (whether under the Public Limited Companies Act of 1997 of the Kingdom of
     Norway or otherwise) for any loss that it, or any other creditor of PGS,
     may suffer as a result of PGS so filing the Chapter 11 Case and thereafter
     pursuing confirmation and consummation of the PGS Plan without concurrently
     making a Norwegian Filing and/or as a result of the confirmation and
     consummation of the PGS Plan (or assist any other creditor of PGS to do the
     same) and/or for not making a Norwegian Filing as of the date hereof or
     during the period this Agreement is effective and/or for making a Norwegian
     Filing during the effective period of this Agreement. PGS agrees to
     indemnify and hold harmless each Supporting Third Party, and their
     respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and
     attorneys-in-fact (each an "Indemnified Person") from and against any and
     all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands,
     actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements
     (including any reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) of any kind or
     nature whatsoever that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or
     asserted against any such Indemnified Person in any way relating to or
     arising out of or in connection with any acknowledgment or consent provided
     in this paragraph 5.b.

          c. Full Satisfaction of Claims. Each Supporting Third Party
     acknowledges and agrees that, upon consummation of the PGS Plan and subject
     to the terms of the PGS

                                       6
<PAGE>

     Plan, the distributions to and treatment of each such Supporting Third
     Party under the PGS Plan shall be in full and complete satisfaction of any
     and all rights that it may have in respect of its Relevant Interest and PGS
     shall be released and discharged from any and all further obligations in
     respect of such Relevant Interests.

          d. Norwegian Filing. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 10.f. of
     this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that if, in the opinion
     of PGS, a forced composition filing (tvangsakkord) under Norwegian law is
     required or appropriate (such filing events may include, without
     limitation, situations where (i) the implementation of the Restructuring
     under Chapter 11 is not feasible or possible, (ii) PGS is under an
     obligation under Norwegian law to file for such a composition, (iii) such a
     composition filing may serve as a defense against a hostile creditor action
     against PGS in Norway or elsewhere, and (iv) the implementation of the
     Restructuring through Chapter 11 would be better accomplished with a
     simultaneous or subsequent such composition filing), then (1) the Parties
     will cooperate for such a filing to take place to implement the terms of
     this Agreement, as far as applicable and possible, and (2) PGS will notify
     the ad hoc Committee three business days in advance of such a composition
     filing, unless such notification is impossible or otherwise would be
     unreasonable under the circumstances. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit
     or restrict PGS from filing for forced composition (tvangsakkord) under
     Norwegian law.

     6. Limitations on Transfer. Each Supporting Third Party hereby agrees not
to (a) sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or otherwise dispose, directly or
indirectly their right, title or interest in respect of the Relevant Interests,
in whole or in part, or any interest therein (collectively, the "Relevant
Claims"), or (b) grant any proxies, deposit any of its claims into a voting
trust, or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any such Relevant Claim
(clauses (a) and (b), collectively, a "Transfer") unless the recipient of such
Relevant Claim (a "Transferee") agrees in writing (such writing, a "Transferee
Acknowledgment"), prior to such Transfer, to be bound by this Agreement in its
entirety without revisions (including with respect to any and all claims or
interests it already may hold against or in PGS prior to such Transfer) and to
be bound by that certain side letter dated the date hereof among the parties
hereto. Upon the execution of the Transferee Acknowledgment, the Transferee
shall be deemed to constitute a Supporting Noteholder, a Supporting TPrS, a
Supporting Bank, or a Supporting Shareholder, as the case may be. Any Transfer
that does not comply with this paragraph shall be void ab initio. In the event
of a Transfer, the transferor shall, within three business days, provide written
notice of such transfer to PGS, together with a copy of the Transferee
Acknowledgment. No Supporting Bank, Supporting TPrS, Supporting Noteholder or
Supporting Shareholder may create any subsidiary or affiliate for the sole
purpose of acquiring any Bank Facilities, Trust Preferred Securities, Notes, or
Shares without first causing such subsidiary or affiliate to become a party
hereto, and a party to that certain side letter referred to in the first
sentence of this paragraph 6, as a Supporting Bank, Supporting TPrS, Supporting
Noteholder or a Supporting Shareholder, as the case may be.

     7. Further Acquisition of Notes, Trust Preferred Securities, Shares and
Bank Facilities. This Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude any
Supporting Third Party from acquiring additional Notes, Trust Preferred
Securities, Shares or claims in respect of the Bank Facilities. However, any
such Notes, Trust Preferred Securities, Shares and claims so acquired shall,
whether or not the Supporting Third Party holds any Relevant Interests at the
time of the

                                       7
<PAGE>

acquisition, automatically be deemed to be "Relevant Interests" and to be
subject to all of the terms of this Agreement hereof.

     8. Backstop Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the
agreement, the terms of which are to be negotiated and agreed with the
Supporting Shareholders, governing the terms of the participation by the
Supporting Shareholders in the backstop of the equity purchase as contemplated
by Section D of the Term Sheet (the "Backstop Agreement") shall include the
following provisions: (i) each Supporting Shareholder shall purchase a number of
ordinary shares of PGS as reorganized under the PGS Plan (the "New Shares")
equivalent to at least 25% of its commitment, with the total commitment of the
Supporting Shareholders aggregating 30% of the New Shares (the "Committed
Shares"); (ii) all holders of Shares (including Supporting Shareholders) shall
have the right to purchase a number of New Shares equaling its pro rata interest
of the remaining 75% of the Committed Shares (after giving effect to paragraph
8.i., such pro rata interest to be calculated as the quotient of the number of
Shares held by the holder on a cut-off date (the "Cut-off Date") to be
determined and the total number of Shares issued and outstanding on the Cut-off
Date; (iii) any Committed Shares not purchased in accordance with paragraph
8.ii. by holders of Shares other than the Supporting Shareholders shall be
purchased by the Supporting Shareholders; (iv) any acceptances of the offered
New Shares without payment (or proper payment arrangements) at the time of
acceptance shall be rejected; (v) the right to purchase Committed Shares shall
not be transferable, the purchase right can only be exercised for the number of
Committed Shares calculated under paragraph 8.ii, and no over-subscription of
New Shares shall be allowed; (v) the rights offering shall be communicated (to
the extent permitted and by and in the manner required in the relevant
jurisdiction(s)) to all holders of Shares as of the Cut-off Date, with the
notice specifying the period the rights offering shall be held open and that
payment shall be required to be made at the time such holder exercises its right
of acceptance.

     9. Condition to each Party's Obligations. Each Party's obligations under
this Agreement are subject to the execution of this Agreement by each of the
following persons:

               (i)   PGS;

               (ii)  the Supporting Noteholders who shall represent not less
                     than 56% in principal amount outstanding of the Notes;

               (iii) the Supporting TPrS;

                     represent not less than 50% in principal amount outstanding
                     under each of the Bank Facilities.

     final, non-appealable, order, this Agreement to be unenforceable;

          d. the most current PGS Plan and the Disclosure Statement on file with
     the Bankruptcy Court (and any amendments, supplements and documents related
     to such pleadings) shall not be consistent with the Term Sheet or otherwise
     in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to both a simple majority in
     number of the Supporting Noteholders that are members of the ad hoc

     any representation or warranty of any Party made or deemed made herein is
     incorrect in any material respect on or as of the date made or deemed made
     and such default (unless it is a willful misrepresentation) shall continue
     unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the earlier of (i) the
     date upon which the relevant Party knew of such failure or (ii) the date
     upon which written notice thereof is given by any Party to the other

     11. Termination of this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of a Termination
Event, this Agreement shall terminate as follows:

          a. immediately upon the occurrence of the Termination Event set forth
     in paragraph 10.e. unless, prior to the expiration of the date referenced
     therein, such date is extended in writing by each of (i) PGS, (ii) the
     Special ad hoc Committee Members, and (iv) the holders of a simple majority
     in number of the Relevant Shares (the "Required Shareholders,"
     collectively, with PGS and the Special ad hoc Committee Members, the
     "Required Parties");

          b. upon the occurrence, and following written notice by either PGS or
     the Special ad hoc Committee Members of such occurrence, of any of the
     Termination Events set forth in paragraphs 10.a., 10.b., 10.c., 10.d.,
     10.f., 10.i., or 10.j. of this Agreement (provided that (i) a breaching
     party shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement on account of its
     own breach of paragraphs 10.i. and 10.j. of this Agreement, and (ii) PGS
     shall be entitled to a 10-day grace period following receipt of a
     termination notice pursuant to paragraphs 10.b. and 10.d. to cure any such
     alleged Termination Event); or

          c. 30 calendar days after the occurrence of the Termination Event
     described in paragraph 10.g. of this Agreement, unless either (i) the
     occurrence of the event giving rise to the Termination Event is no longer
     continuing on such 30th day or (ii) the Special ad hoc Committee Members
     shall have waived in writing such Termination Event.

     12. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to
paragraphs 10 and 11, all obligations hereunder shall terminate and shall be of
no further force and effect; provided however, that any claim for breach of this
Agreement, other than a claim for breach of the representation set out in
paragraph 13.f., shall survive termination and all rights and remedies with
respect to such claims shall not be prejudiced in any way; but provided further,
that the breach of this Agreement by one or more Supporting Third Parties shall
not create any rights or remedies against any non-breaching Supporting Third
Party unless such non-breaching Supporting Third Party has participated in or
aided and abetted the breach by the breaching Supporting Third Party/Parties.
Except as set forth above in this paragraph 12 and for the obligations set forth
in paragraphs 5.b., 5.c. (with respect to paragraph 5.c. only, solely after the
consummaton of the PGS Plan and not a termination of this Agreement), and 14
hereof, upon such termination or upon consummation of the PGS Plan, any
obligations of the non-breaching Parties set forth in this Agreement shall be
null and void ab initio and all claims, causes of action, remedies, defenses,
setoffs, rights or other benefits of such non-breaching Parties shall be fully
preserved without any estoppel, evidentiary or other effect of any kind or
nature whatsoever.

     13. Representations and Warranties. PGS and each Supporting Third Party, on
a several but not joint basis, represents and warrants to each other Party that
the following statements are true, correct and complete as of the date hereof
and to the extent applicable to such party:

                                       10
<PAGE>

          a. Corporate Power and Authority. If not a natural person, it is duly
     organized, validly existing, and, if applicable, in good standing under the
     laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and has all requisite
     corporate, partnership or other power and authority to enter into this
     Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated by, and perform
     its respective obligations under, this Agreement.

          b. Authorization. If not a natural person, the execution and delivery
     of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder have
     been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership or other
     action on its part.

          c. Binding Obligation. This Agreement has been duly executed and
     delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation,
     enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof.

          d. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by it (when
     such performance is due) of this Agreement do not and shall not (i) violate
     any provision of law, rule or regulation applicable to it, or, if
     applicable, any of its subsidiaries or its certificate of incorporation or
     bylaws or other organizational documents or those of any of its
     subsidiaries or (ii) except with respect to PGS, conflict with, result in a
     breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a
     default under any material contractual obligation to which it or, if
     applicable, any of its subsidiaries is a party.

          e. Adequate Information. Although none of the Parties intends that
     this Agreement should constitute, and they each believe it does not
     constitute, a solicitation and acceptance of the PGS Plan, they each
     acknowledge and agree that, regardless of whether its Relevant Interests
     constitute "securities" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933,
     (i) each of the Supporting Third Parties is an "accredited investor" as
     such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and, in
     the case of Supporting Creditors, a "qualified institutional buyer" as such
     term is defined in Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 and (ii)
     adequate information was provided by PGS and its affiliates to each
     Supporting Third Party in order to enable it to make an informed decision
     such that, were this Agreement to be construed as or deemed to constitute
     such a solicitation and acceptance, such solicitation was (i) in compliance
     with any applicable nonbankruptcy law, rule, or regulation governing the
     adequacy of disclosure in connection with such solicitation, or (ii) if
     there is not any such law, rule, or regulation, solicited after disclosure
     to such holder of "adequate information" as such term is defined in section
     1125(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

          f. Accuracy of Information. Accuracy of Information Provided. PGS
     represents that, to the best of their knowledge, after reasonable inquiry,
     (i) information provided to the Supporting Creditors by PGS in connection
     with the Restructuring, including without limitation, the Business Plan
     (defined below), does not contain any material misstatement of fact, nor
     does it fail to state a fact necessary to make the information not
     materially misleading and (ii) the statements made by PGS in the various
     representations set forth herein are true and accurate.

                                       11
<PAGE>

          g. Operation of Business Pending Chapter 11 Filing. PGS represents
     that pending the Chapter 11 filing, PGS undertakes, to the extent within
     PGS' control and except as otherwise agreed to by the ad hoc Committee, to
     operate the business of PGS and its subsidiaries in material compliance
     with that certain business plan provided to the Supporting Creditors dated
     on or about January 15, 2003 (the Business Plan"), except as otherwise
     disclosed in the press release announcing this Agreement.

     14. Confidentiality. PGS and each Supporting Third Party agrees to use its
reasonable best efforts to maintain the confidentiality of (a) the individual
identities of the Supporting Third Parties and (b) the individual holdings of
the Supporting Third Parties; provided, however, that such information may be
disclosed (i) to the Parties' respective directors, trustees, executives,
officers, auditors, and employees and financial and legal advisors or other
agents (collectively referred to herein as the "Representatives" and
individually as a "Representative"), (ii) to persons in response to, and to the
extent required by, (x) any subpoena, or other legal process or other disclosure
required by law or (y) the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, any
bank regulatory agency or any other regulatory agency or authority. If any Party
or its Representative receives a subpoena or other legal process as referred to
in clause (ii)(x) above in connection with the Agreement, such Party shall
provide the other Parties with prompt written notice of any such request or
requirement, to the fullest extent permissible and practicable under the
circumstances, so that the other Parties may seek a protective order or other
appropriate remedy or waiver of compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions in this paragraph 14, (i) PGS may
disclose (a) the existence of and nature of support evidenced by this Agreement
in one or more public releases that have first been sent to counsel for the
Supporting Noteholders and counsel for the Supporting Banks for review and
comment, and (b) in the context of any such releases, the aggregate holdings of
the Supporting Third Parties (but, as indicated above, not their identities or
their individual holdings), (ii) any Party hereto may disclose the identities of
the Parties hereto and their individual holdings in any action to enforce this
Agreement or in an action for damages as a result of any breaches hereof, (iii)
any Party hereto may disclose, to the extent consented to in writing by a
Supporting Third Party, such consenting Supporting Third Party's identity and
individual holdings and (iv) to the extent required by the Bankruptcy Code,
Bankruptcy Rules, Local Rules of the Bankruptcy Court or other applicable rules,
regulations or procedures of the Bankruptcy Court or the Office of the United
States Trustee, PGS may disclose the individual identities of the Supporting
Third Parties in a writing that has first been sent to counsel for the
Supporting Noteholders and counsel for the Supporting Banks for review and
comment on such notice that is reasonable under the circumstances.

     15. Preparation of Restructuring Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, including specifically any obligation of a
Party to use efforts to cause an event to occur by the "earliest practical
date," the obligations of the Parties hereunder shall be expressly subject to
the preparation of definitive documents relating to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Term Sheet, including without limitation,
(a) the PGS Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the order confirming the PGS Plan,
and any related ballots, releases and settlement documents, (b) all other
agreements, instruments, orders or other documents necessary or appropriate to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Term Sheet or
the PGS Plan, and (c) any "first day" orders and motions; each of

                                       12
<PAGE>

the documents referred to in subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this paragraph 15
must be reasonably acceptable to the ad hoc Committee.

      16. Amendment or Waiver. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein,
this Agreement may not be modified, amended or supplemented without the prior
written consent of the Required Parties. No waiver of any of the provisions of
this Agreement shall be deemed or constitute a waiver of any other provision of
this Agreement, whether or not similar, nor shall any waiver be deemed a
continuing waiver.

CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT
REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISION WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF
THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. By its execution and delivery of this
Agreement, each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees for itself that any legal action, suit or proceeding against it with
respect to any matter under or arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such
action, suit or proceeding, may be brought in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York. By execution and delivery of this
Agreement, each of the Parties hereto irrevocably accepts and submits itself to
the nonexclusive jurisdiction of each such court, generally and unconditionally,
with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding, and waives any objection it
may have to venue or the convenience of the forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing

     19. Specific Performance. This Agreement, including without limitation the
Parties' agreement herein to support the PGS Plan and to facilitate its
confirmation, is intended as a binding commitment enforceable in accordance with
its terms. It is understood and agreed by each of the Parties hereto that money
damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any
Party and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and
injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy of any such breach.

     20. Cooperation. Each Party shall cooperate with the other Parties to do or
cause to be done all things as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to
confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent and purpose of this
Agreement and shall not take any action contrary to the essential intent and
principles of this Agreement.

     21. Resignation or Removal of ad hoc Committee Members/Substitution of the
Creditors' Committee. If a Supporting Bank or a Supporting Noteholder or either
of the Trustees, as the case may be, that is a member of the ad hoc Committee
resigns or for any other reason is removed as a member of such Committee, the
remaining Supporting Noteholders (in the case of resignation or removal of a
Supporting Noteholder or any of the Trustees) or the remaining Supporting Banks
(in the case of resignation or removal of a Supporting Bank) on the ad hoc
Committee shall be entitled to select a replacement for such resigning member,
provided such replacement agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. At
any time following the formation of the Creditors' Committee, upon the agreement
in writing by the Creditors' Committee to be bound by this Agreement and on
written notice to PGS, the ad hoc Committee may elect to have the Creditors'
Committee substituted in place of the ad hoc Committee in this Agreement and
whereafter the Creditors' Committee shall automatically have all the rights and
obligations of the ad hoc Committee pursuant to this Agreement. Following any
such election, the ad hoc Committee shall be deemed dissolved and the Creditors'
Committee shall send notice of such dissolution to PGS.

     22. Voting. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all votes of the
ad hoc Committee or the Creditors' Committee (following substitution pursuant to
paragraph 21 above) under this Agreement shall be made by a simple majority vote
of all of the members of the ad hoc Committee or Creditors' Committee at the
time, as the case may be, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

     23. Headings. The headings of the sections, paragraphs and subsections of
this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the
interpretation hereof.

     24. Interpretation. This Agreement is the product of negotiations of the
Parties, and in the enforcement or interpretation hereof, is to be interpreted
in a neutral manner, and any presumption with regard to interpretation for or
against any Party by reason of that Party having drafted or caused to be drafted
this Agreement, or any portion hereof, shall not be effective in regard to the
interpretation hereof.

     25. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to
the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, assigns (including,
but not limited to, Transferees under paragraph 6 above), heirs, executors,
administrators and representatives.

     26. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Unless expressly stated herein, this
Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of the Parties hereto and no other
person or entity shall be a third-party beneficiary hereof.

     27. No Waiver of Participation and Reservation of Rights. Except as
expressly provided in this Agreement and in any amendment among the Parties,
nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair or
restrict the ability of each of the Parties to protect and preserve its rights,
remedies and interests, including without limitation, its claims against any of
the other Parties (or their respective affiliates or subsidiaries) or its full
participation in any bankruptcy case filed by PGS or any of its affiliates and
subsidiaries. If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or in the PGS
Plan are not consummated, or if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, the
Parties fully reserve any and all of their rights.

     28. No Admissions. This Agreement shall in no event be construed as or be
deemed to be evidence of an admission or concession on the part of any Party of
any claim or fault or liability or damages whatsoever. Each of the Parties
denies any and all wrongdoing or liability of any kind and does not concede any
infirmity in the claims or defenses which it has asserted or could assert.

     29. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall
constitute one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of
this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed signature page of this Agreement.

     30. Representation by Counsel. Each Party acknowledges that it has been
represented by, or provided a reasonable period of time to obtain access to and
advice by, counsel with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.
Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would provide any Party
with a defense to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement against such
Party based upon lack of legal counsel shall have no application and is
expressly waived.

     31. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto,
including, without limitation, the Term Sheet, constitute the entire agreement
between the Parties and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements,
representations, warranties and understandings of the Parties, whether oral,
written or implied, as to the subject matter hereof.

     32. Several not Joint. The agreements, representations and obligations of
the Parties under this Agreement are, in all respects, several and not joint

     33. Tax Shelter Regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, any Party to this Agreement (and any employee, representative, or
other agent of any Party to this Agreement) may disclose to any and all persons,
without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the
transactions contemplated by the Term Sheet or the PGS Plan and all

                                       15
<PAGE>

materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are

Plan, including the identity of any Party to this Agreement (or its employees,
representatives or agents) or other information that could lead any person to
determine such identity or (B) any information to the extent such disclosure
could result in a violation of any federal or state securities laws.

                           PETROLEUM GEO-SERVICES ASA
            SUMMARY OF PROPOSED TERMS FOR BALANCE SHEET RESTRUCTURING

The following (this "Term Sheet") is an outline of (i) the key terms and
provisions of a plan of reorganization (the "Restructuring") for Petroleum
Geo-Services ASA ("PGS") and (ii) in connection therewith, the key terms for the
resolution, settlement and treatment under such plan or plans of, among other
things, the claims and causes of action (as defined and described more fully
below) of the Noteholders, Banks, Trust Preferreds and PGS Equity Holders.

This Term Sheet is subject to finalization and execution of a Plan Support
Agreement (the "PSA") to which this Term Sheet is intended to be attached as
Exhibit A. This Term Sheet is not intended to be legally binding upon any party
until execution of the PSA. Upon execution of the PSA, this Term Sheet is
intended to be binding on the signatories to the PSA in accordance with, and
subject to, the terms of the PSA. No vote in favor of any PGS plan, whether or
not it includes the terms and conditions set forth herein, is being solicited by
or agreed to by this Term Sheet.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, this Term Sheet is
being provided as part of settlement discussions and, as a result, shall be
treated as such pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and all bankruptcy and
state law equivalents.

     Parties

     PGS:                Petroleum Geo-Services ASA

     Noteholders:        Holders of PGS's $250m 6 1/4% notes due 2003, $360m
                         7 1/2% notes due 2007, $200m 6 5/8% notes due 2008,
                         $450m 71/8% notes due 2028 and $200m 8.15% notes due
                         2029 (the "Notes")

     Banks:              Banks under PGS's $250m bridge facility and $430m
                         revolving credit facility (the "Bank Facilities")

     Trust Preferreds:   Holders of $144.750m PGS Trust I trust preferred
                         securities. (PGS Trust I holds as its only asset
                         $148.169m junior subordinated debt securities issued by
                         PGS)

     PGS Equity Holders: Pre-Restructuring holders of ordinary shares in PGS
                         (including ADR holders) [record date to be determined]

     Noteholders and Banks (the "Holders") will receive equity and debt
     consideration as set out in Package A and Package B below. Holders may
     freely elect to allocate their claim between Package A or Package B or a
     combination of both. To the extent Package B is oversubscribed (i.e.
     Holders of claims consisting of more than $1.46 billion elect Package B),
     then:

     (1)  the amount of Term Loan distributed to the Holders to the extent that
          they select Package A would be reduced to an amount equal to the
          amount of Holder's claims electing for Package A multiplied by 475/680
          (the "Issued Term Loan").

     (2)  the amount of Senior A Notes issued under Package B to be distributed
          to the Holders to the extent that they select Package B would be
          increased to an amount equal to $350m (amount issued assuming a full
          subscription of Package B) plus the amount of unissued

                                                                     FINAL DRAFT

PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL

          Package A Debt ($475m less the Issued Term Loan) multiplied by
          400/475. In addition to this amount of Senior A Notes, Package B will
          consist of $250 million of Senior B Notes, $85 million of net cash
          proceeds of the offering to the Equity Investors and 61% of the
          ordinary share capital of PGS immediately after PGS's plan of
          reorganisation under chapter 11 becomes effective ("Completion"), all
          to be distributed pro rata to the Holders of Package B.

     To the extent Package A is oversubscribed (i.e. Holders of claims
     consisting of more than $680 million elect Package A), then:

     (1)  The amount of Senior A Notes and Senior B Notes to be distributed to
          the Holders electing Package B would be reduced to an amount equal to
          the amount of claims electing Package B multiplied by 350/1460 and
          250/1460 for the Senior A and B Notes respectively.

     (2)  The amount of Term Loan issued under Package A to be distributed to
          the Holders electing Package A would be increased by the combined
          reduction in the principal amount of Senior A Notes and Senior B Notes
          to be distributed multiplied by 475/400.

     Facility type:          Senior term loan facility

     Guarantors:             Facility to be unsecured. All direct and indirect

                             to the extent reasonable in the context of a
                             cost/benefit analysis of providing any such
                             guarantee) to guarantee the facility. A "Material

C.   Trust Preferreds

D.   PGS Equity Holders

     If PGS Equity Holders vote in favour of the Restructuring then, on
     Completion, PGS Equity Holders will receive a gift of, or otherwise
     receive, 4% of ordinary share capital of PGS (as such share capital is
     composed immediately post-Restructuring). The gift will be implemented
     through a mechanism to be agreed.

     PGS Equity Holders will also have the right on Completion to buy from the
     Package B Holders (mechanics to be agreed) for $85m in cash (net of any
     underwriting or other fees) such number of ordinary shares issued to the
     Package B Holders under Section B above which, when added to the ordinary
     shares gifted to the PGS Equity Holders under the above paragraph, would
     result in the PGS Equity Holders owning 34% of the ordinary share capital
     of PGS immediately after Completion (this right being backstopped by
     certain major PGS Equity Holders (the "Equity Investors") and or their
     affiliates on terms to be agreed who will take up these rights in lieu of
     any PGS Equity Holders who do not wish to do so). For the avoidance of
     doubt the rights of the PGS Equity Holders to obtain 34% of the ordinary
     share capital under this paragraph will not be affected by changes to
     Holders' allocations as a result of any over- or under-subscription of Term
     Loan.

     Individual Package B Holders will have the option to designate whether they
     wish to sell their equity to PGS Equity Holders/Equity Investors, in which
     case, to the extent possible, the equity of such Package B Holders will be
     sold to the PGS Equity Holders/Equity Investors first, with any shortfall
     being made up by non-designating Package B Holders selling their equity pro
     rata.

E.   Other Creditors of PGS

     For the avoidance of doubt all other creditors of PGS and the group
     (including trade creditors, lessors (including UK defeased lessors), PGS
     Multi Client Seismic preferred securities holders, Oslo Seismic noteholders
     and contingent creditors) will be unimpaired by the Restructuring, unless
     otherwise agreed.

F.   Miscellaneous Provisions

     Facilities and Notes:        chapter 11 filing date, including any pro rata
                                  portion of interest accrued to the Noteholders
                                  and the Banks but not then due, will be paid
                                  to the Noteholders and the Banks to bring them
                                  both current as at the filing date.

                                  an additional recovery (such payment being
                                  made pro rata to the Banks and the Noteholders

                                  Excess Cash at the time of Completion shall be
                                  calculated on a basis consistent with both the

                                  This calculation will be subject to adjustment

                                  A reserve account of $30m shall be established
                                  by PGS, the balance of which shall be applied

                                  vote of a simple majority of the board, such

                                  2003, then the additional recovery shall

                                  would have been payable by PGS if Completion
                                  had occurred on 31 October 2003, provided that
                                  such payment shall not be made to the extent
                                  that it would reduce cash of the group to $50m

                                  The calculation of Excess Cash shall include
                                  any cash held as collateral for
                                  bid/performance bonds ("Bonds") which the
                                  Company will release at Completion. The
                                  Company will release such cash collateral by
                                  replacing Bonds or cash collateral with new
                                  Bonds at Completion using either (A) a secured

                                  banks or financial institutions. If PGS
                                  requires a DIP facility to provide the Bonds
                                  during the chapter 11, PGS intends to seek
                                  such DIP facility from the Banks, provided
                                  that the Banks are prepared to provide such a
                                  DIP facility on commercially competitive
                                  terms. PGS will seek an exit facility if
                                  necessary on the same terms.

     Excess Cash Adjustment:      Following completion of the audit of PGS's
                                  financial year 2003 figures, and after review
                                  by PwC, an adjustment will be made, subject to
                                  agreeing an appropriate de minimis threshold,

                                  calculated above to reconcile that additional
                                  recovery to the additional recovery that would
                                  otherwise have been payable had it instead
                                  been calculated based on the pro rata amount
                                  of the actual "TOTAL RECEIPTS" for financial
                                  year 2003 (e.g. 10/12 of the TOTAL RECEIPTS

                                  were calculated as at 31 October 2003).

                                   SCHEDULE A

                                STATEMENT OF WORK

BACKGROUND:

The Proponent has already developed a 40 kW fuel cell engine for use in
light-duty vehicle applications. The engine, which includes the fuel cell stack
and the balance of plant components, has been successfully integrated into a
prototype fuel cell vehicle, which is currently being demonstrated by a major
automobile manufacturer. Furthermore, the Proponent has been very successful in
developing and marketing a series of Automatic Fuel Cell Test Stations to auto
manufacturers and research organizations around the world. The proponent is also
developing a variety of small, large and portable fuel cell generators for use
in different applications, from stationary and back up power supply, to military
operations. Consequently, the Proponent has demonstrated the relevant expertise
to undertake this project.

OBJECTIVE/PURPOSE:

Hydrogenics Corporation (the Proponent) intends to pursue the commercial
opportunities that exist around the world for fuel cell powered transit bus
engines. Currently, there is an early demand for fuel cell powered transit buses
as part of government sponsored demonstration projects in Asia, Europe, North
and South America. In the future, this demand is expected to ramp-up
significantly as legislative requirements (California) for zero-emission
vehicles kick-in, and other governments move to procurement-based initiatives
for fuel cell buses.

Hydrogenics through this project, will develop a suitable prototype fuel cell
system, which will include all the necessary balance of plant components. The
fuel cell system will be developed for use as an advanced power-plant in urban
transit buses, and in particular, will be designed for use as part of a
hybrid-electric bus configuration. The fuel cell system will be set-up to work
in unison with a regenerative braking system that will employ high-voltage
ultra-capacitors. The regenerative braking system will capture most of the
energy that is normally lost as friction and heat in braking and will store this
energy electrically in ultra-capacitors. The combination of these two
technologies on a fuel cell bus should improve the overall energy efficiency of
the bus by up to 25%. (The ultra-capacitors will replace the batteries that are
normally used with regenerative braking systems. Batteries, due to their
re-charging profile, can only recover up to 10% of the energy lost to braking,
and also have a much higher weight penalty.) The regenerative braking system
based on ultra-capacitors lowers the power requirements for the fuel cell
system, because a significant portion of the power required for accelerating
from a stop, can be supplied by the ultra-capacitors. At present, there are no
fuel cell powered hybrid-electric transit buses in existence, nor are any under
development as far as is known, that feature ultra-capacitors with regenerative
braking. The fuel cell system and ultra-capacitor/regenerative braking system
developed through this project will be the first of its kind designed for use in
urban transit buses. The other innovative is where the fuel cell system and
ultra-capacitors will actually be located within the transit bus. In the fuel
cell buses that have been demonstrated to date, the fuel cell system is located
at the back of the bus in the engine compartment. Consequently, the weight of
the fuel cell system in this location along with the weight of the roof-top
storage tanks, has added to the axle loadings, in-turn putting the buses out of
compliance with weight regulations. Hydrogenics, will design the fuel cell
system and the ultra-capacitor portion of the regenerative braking system, so
that some of the fuel cell modules and ultra-capacitors may be located in
different locations within the bus. This approach will put these power systems
closer to where the power is required, and will permit the weight of these
systems to be distributed throughout the bus thus reducing the axle loadings of
the bus. The location of these systems in the bus will also be done in a manner
to facilitate service and maintenance requirements.

DESCRIPTION/SCOPE:

The Proponent will engage in the development of a 180 kW fuel cell system,
employing proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell technology and the necessary
balance of plant components. The fuel cell system will be designed to work with
a regenerative braking system that employs ultra-capacitors. This project, will
include the following tasks:

1.       Design and construct of a 180 kW fuel cell engine module, using proton
         exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. The system will contain the
         following major components:

         a)       fuel cell stacks

         b)       balance of plant materials and components

         c)       automatic controls and diagnostic systems

         d)       power conditioning unit

         e)       safety systems

2.       Test and verify the operation of the fuel cell stacks.

3.       Test and verify the operation of the 180 kW fuel cell engine module

4.       Integrate the ultra-capacitors with the necessary power electronics and
         associated controls into a 40 foot transit bus

5.       Integrate a hybrid-electric drive system into a 40 foot urban transit
         bus

6.       Integrate a compressed hydrogen (5,000) psi storage system into a 40
         foot urban transit bus.

BENEFITS:

The proposed fuel cell power engine will be offered for use in zero-emission
transit buses. The engine should be commercially available starting in the 2008
time frame. Once adopted, the technology should result in an accumulative
reduction of 1 Mt of CO2 emissions by 2020. The potential for job and wealth
creation in Canada is also substantial. Research and development jobs will
created immediately as a result of the Project. Competition will also be created
to other fuel cell engine developers, such as, International Fuel Cells, Ballard
Power Systems and Nuvera. New competition will help drive the innovation
process, by bringing new approaches forward, by reducing costs, and by speeding
up commercialization efforts, which in-turn will benefit everyone, including the
fuel cell industry.
