The notice must: specify a day (not earlier than 14 days after the date of service of the notice) on or before which and a place where the payment required by the notice is to be made; and state that, if payment is not made by the time and at the place specified, the shares in respect of which the call was made are liable to be forfeited.

Lien on Shares (a) The company has a first and paramount lien on every share and on the proceeds of sale of every share for: (i) any amount due and unpaid in respect of the share which has been called or is payable at a fixed time; (ii) any amounts which remain outstanding on loans made by the company to acquire the share under an employee incentive scheme; (iii) all amounts that the company may be called on by law to pay in respect of the share; and (iv) reasonable interest and expenses incurred by the company in respect of the unpaid amounts. The Directors may at any time exempt a share wholly or in part from the provisions of this rule. (b) (c) The lien extends to all Dividends and entitlements declared in respect of the shares but, if the company registers a transfer of any shares on which it has a lien or charge without giving the transferee notice of any claim it may have at that time, the shares are freed and discharged from the lien or charge of the company in respect of that claim.

At any time before any forfeited share is sold or otherwise disposed of, the Directors may annul the forfeiture of the share on any condition they determine. 16. Disposal of Forfeited Shares Any forfeited share is considered the property of the company and the Directors may sell or otherwise dispose of or deal with the share in any manner they determine and with or without any money paid on the share by any former holder being credited as paid up. 17.

The Directors may authorise a person to do everything necessary to transfer the shares sold to the purchaser of the shares. The validity of the sale of the shares may not be impeached by any person after the transfer has been registered, and the purchaser is not bound to see to the application of the purchase money. The title of the purchaser to the shares is not affected by any irregularity or invalidity in connection with the sale. The purchaser is discharged from liability for any calls which may have been due before the purchase of those shares, unless otherwise agreed. The remedy of any person aggrieved by the sale is in damages only and against the company exclusively. (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) 18.

Interest on Unpaid Amounts If a sum called or otherwise payable to the company in respect of a share is not paid before or on the day for payment, the person from whom the sum is due must pay: (a) (i) interest on the sum from the due date to the time of actual payment at the rate determined by the Directors; and any costs and expenses incurred by the company by reason of non-payment or late payment of the sum.

Constitution of ATWOOD AUSTRALIAN WATERS DRILLING PTY i i Allens Arthur Robinson LTD Transfer of Securities 23. Transfers (a) No transfer of any Securities may be registered unless a proper instrument of transfer, in writing in the usual or common form or in any form the Directors may prescribe or in a particular case accept, signed by the transferor and the transferee and properly stamped (if necessary) is delivered to the company (but the Directors may dispense with the execution of the instrument by the transferee if the Directors think fit). The transferor is considered to remain the holder of the Securities transferred until the name of the transferee is entered on the Securities register. (b) 24. Directors may Refuse to Register Subject to rule 25, the Directors may in their discretion refuse to register any transfer of Securities and may decline to give their reasons and grounds for doing (a) so. (b) Where the Directors resolve to refuse to register a transfer of Securities, the Directors must notify the transferee within two months of the date of lodgement of the transfer with the company. 25. Directors must Register Certain Transfers Despite any other provision of this Constitution, the Directors must register a transfer of Securities in accordance with this Constitution where the transferor or the transferee is a person entitled to the benefit of any mortgage or charge granted in respect of those Securities or any receiver, receiver and manager, agent or attorney appointed or purported to be appointed under that mortgage or charge, or any person who has purchased those Securities as a result of the exercise of a person's rights under that mortgage or charge. 26. Transfer and Certificate (if any) Every transfer must be left for registration at the registered office of the company or any other place the Directors determine. Unless the Directors otherwise determine either generally or in a particular case, the transfer is to be accompanied by the certificate for the Securities to be transferred. In addition, the transfer is to be accompanied by any other evidence which the Directors may require to prove the title of the transferor, the transferor's right to transfer the Securities, execution of the transfer or compliance with the provisions of any law relating to stamp duty.

Transmission on Death (a) Where a Security holder dies: (i) the legal personal representatives of the deceased, where the Security holder was a sole holder or a joint holder holding as a tenant in common; and (ii) the survivor or survivors, where the Security holder was a joint holder, are the only persons recognised by the company as having any title to the Security holder's interest in the Securities of the company (as the case may be). Subject to the Corporations Act, the Directors may require evidence of a Security holder's death as they determine. This rule does not release the estate of a deceased joint holder from any liability in respect of any Security that had been jointly held by the holder with other persons. (b) (c) 28. Transmission by Operation of Law A person (a transmittee) who establishes to the satisfaction of the Directors that the right to any Securities has devolved on the transmittee by will or by operation of law may be registered as a holder in respect of the Securities or may (subject to the provisions in this Constitution relating to transfers) transfer the Securities.

(b) Any Director may cancel any meeting convened by that Director by notice in writing to all persons who were entitled to receive notice of that meeting, except where the cancellation or postponement would be contrary to the Corporations Act.

Notice of General Meetings A notice of a general meeting is to specify the place and time of the meeting, the general nature of the business to be transacted at the meeting and any other matters required by the Corporations Act.

Except as otherwise provided in this Constitution, two Shareholders Present constitutes a quorum.

The general conduct of each general meeting of the company and the procedures to be adopted at the meeting are as determined at, during or prior to the meeting by the Chair. The Chair may make rulings without putting the question (or any question) to the vote if the Chair considers action is required to ensure the orderly conduct of the meeting. At any time the Chair considers it necessary or desirable for the proper and orderly conduct of the meeting, the Chair may demand the cessation of debate or discussion on any business, question, motion or resolution being considered by the meeting and require the business, question, motion or resolution to be put to a vote of the Shareholders Present. (c) (d) (e) (f) Any determination by the Chair in relation to matters of procedure (including any procedural motions moved at, or put to, any meeting) or any other matter arising directly or indirectly from the business is final (including any procedural motions moved at, or put to, any meeting). Any challenge to a right to vote (whether on a show of hands or on a poll) or to a determination to allow or disregard to vote may only be made at the meeting and may be determined by the Chair whose decision is final. If a person purports to cast a vote in contravention of the Corporations Act, the Chair may determine that the vote be disregarded and treated as not having been cast. (9) (h) Nothing contained in this rule limits the powers conferred on a Chair by law. 34. Adjournments During the course of the meeting the Chair may adjourn the meeting or any business, motion, question or resolution being considered or remaining to be considered by the meeting or any debate or discussion either to a later time at the same meeting or to an adjourned meeting to be held at the time and place determined by the Chair. If the Chair exercises a right of adjournment of a meeting under this rule, the Chair has the sole discretion to decide whether to seek the approval of the Shareholders Present to the adjournment and, unless the Chair exercises that discretion, no vote may be taken by the Shareholders Present in respect of the adjournment. No business may be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. 35. Voting at General Meetings (a) Each question submitted to a general meeting is to be decided by a show of hands of the Shareholders Present and entitled to vote, unless a poll is demanded. bctp A0114635705v1 120003924 14.05.2010 Page 11

Constitution of ATWOOD AUSTRALIAN WATERS DRILLING PTY i i Allens Arthur Robinson LTD (b) Unless a poll is demanded, a declaration by the Chair following a vote on a show of hands that a resolution has been passed or lost is conclusive.

The result of a poll may be announced in the manner and at the time (whether during the relevant meeting or afterwards) as the Chair considers appropriate. The result of the poll is the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded. (b) (c) The demand for a poll does not prevent a meeting from continuing for the transaction of any business other than that on which a poll has been demanded.

Constitution of ATWOOD AUSTRALIAN WATERS DRILLING PTY i I Allens Arthur Robinson LTD (b) In relation to a contract or arrangement in which a Director has a material personal interest: the fact that the Director signed the document evidencing the contract or arrangement will not in any way affect its validity; a contract or arrangement made by the company or any related body corporate with a Director may not be avoided merely because the Director is a party to the contract or arrangement or otherwise interested in it; and the Director will not be liable to account to the company for any profit derived in respect of the contract or arrangement merely because of the Director's office or the fiduciary relationship it entails. If a Director has a material personal interest in a matter that relates to the affairs of the company and that interest has been disclosed in accordance with the Corporations Act or is of a type that does not require disclosure: the Director may vote on matters that relate to the interest; and any transactions that relate to the interest may proceed; and the Director can retain benefits from the transaction even though the Director has the interest; and the company cannot avoid the transaction merely because of the existence of the interest.
