                                         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

                                        market price or a value set by DnB NOR

                                        insufficient. If such additional
                                        collateral is not furnished that day,

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.
