Collateral:                           DnB NOR Markets shall at all times ensure
                                      that it has satisfactory collateral for
                                      the due performance of the Buyer's
                                      obligations, cfr. article 9-5 of the
                                      Norwegian Securities Trading Act. The
                                      collateral shall be furnished in the form
                                      of a cash deposit and the Buyer must sign
                                      a declaration of pledge. The amount of
                                      the collateral shall at all time meet DnB
                                      NOR Markets' requirements.

                                      Upon entry into the contract the
                                      collateral shall comprise 20% of the Total
                                      Purchase Price. For the duration of the
                                      Contract additional collateral shall be
                                      furnished that corresponds to the
                                      unrealised loss the forward contract
                                      entails for the Buyer, calculated as the
                                      Total Purchase Price minus the value of
                                      the Underlying Shares, if such loss equals
                                      more than 25% of the value of the
                                      collateral pledged on entry into this
                                      contact. The value of the Shares shall be
                                      computed on the basis of the stock market
                                      price or a value set by DnB NOR Markets as
                                      Calculation Agent.

                                      The Buyer shall furnish the required
                                      additional collateral on the same day that
                                      Buyer receives notice from DnB NOR Markets
                                      that the current collateral is
                                      insufficient. If such additional
                                      collateral is not furnished that day, this
                                      constitutes an event of Default and the
                                      Buyer is entitilet to carry out such
                                      measures as set out in this contract, cfr.

                                      If the realisation of the pledged

                                      the company that issued the Underlying

                                      to represent to the other party on the
                                      date on which it enters into a Contract
                                      that (absent a written agreement between
                                      the parties that expressly imposes
                                      affirmative obligations to the contrary
                                      for that Contract):

                                      has made its own independent decisions to
                                      enter into that Contract and as to
                                      whether that Contract is appropriate or
                                      proper for it based upon its own

                                      advisers as it has deemed necessary. It
                                      is not relying on any communication
                                      (written or oral) of the other party as
                                      investment advice or a recommendation to
                                      enter into that Contract; it being
                                      understood that information and

                                      conditions of a Contract shall not be
                                      considered investment advice or a
                                      recommendation to enter into that
                                      Contract. No communication (written or
                                      oral) received from the other party shall
                                      be deemed to be an assurance or guarantee
                                      as to the expected results of that
                                      Contract.

                                      and understands and accepts, the terms,

                                      is also capable of assuming, and assumes,
                                      the risk of that Contract. The relevant
                                      balance on the collateral account does
                                      not constitute an upper limit for loss
                                      the Buyer could incur and the Byers
                                      liability for the Contract is not limited
                                      to this amount.

                                      according to laws and/or regulations as
                                      they apply from time to time.

e) Governing Law:                     Any disputes under the Contract shall be
                                      decided according to Norwegian law with
                                      the Oslo municipal court as the agreed

================================================================================

Dear Sirs / Madams:

The purpose of this letter agreement (this "Confirmation") is to confirm the
terms and conditions of the Transaction entered into between Nordea Bank Finland
Plc (Nordea) and SEADRILL LIMITED ("Counterparty") on the Trade Date specified
below (the "Transaction"). This Confirmation constitutes a "Confirmation" as
referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below.

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2000 ISDA Definitions (the "Swap
Definitions") and in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the "Equity
Definitions", and together with the Swap Definitions, the "Definitions"), in
each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association,
Inc., are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency
between the Swap Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions
will govern. In the event of any inconsistency between either set of Definitions
and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern. In the event of any
inconsistency between this Confirmation and the Definitions or the Master
Agreement, this Confirmation will govern

References in the Swap Definitions to the term "Swap Transaction" shall be
deemed to be references to the term "Transaction" for the purposes of this
Confirmation.

1.   This Confirmation supplements, forms part of, and is subject to, the ISDA
     Master Agreement, as amended and supplemented from time to time (the
     "Agreement"), between you and us. All provisions contained in the Agreement
     govern this Confirmation except as expressly modified below.

     If we have not yet executed an ISDA Master Agreement, this Confirmation
     evidences a binding agreement between you and us as to the terms of the
     Transactions to which this Confirmation relates. In addition, you and we
     agree to use all reasonable efforts promptly to negotiate, execute and
     deliver an agreement in the form of the ISDA Master Agreement, with such
     modifications as you and we will in good faith agree. Upon the execution by
     you and us of such an agreement, this Confirmation will supplement, form a
     part of, and be subject to that agreement. All provisions contained in or
     incorporated by reference in that agreement upon its execution will govern
     this Confirmation except as expressly modified below.

     Until we execute and deliver that agreement, this Confirmation, together
     with all other documents referring to the ISDA Form (each a "Confirmation")
     confirming transactions (each a "Transaction") entered into between us
     (notwithstanding anything to the contrary in a Confirmation), shall
     supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of
     the ISDA Form as if we had executed an agreement in such form (but without
     any Schedule except for the election of English law as the governing law)
     on the Trade Date of the first such Transaction between us. In the event of
     any inconsistency between the provisions of that agreement and this
     Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of this Option
     Agreement.
