   &lt;div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"&gt;We reclassify, from continuing operations to discontinued operations, for all periods
   presented, the results of operations for any component either held for sale or disposed of. We
   define a component as being distinguishable from the rest of our company because it has clearly
   distinguished operations and cash flows. A component may be a reportable segment, an operating
   segment, a reporting unit, a subsidiary, or an asset group. Such reclassifications had no effect on
   our net income or stockholders&amp;#8217; equity.

   &lt;div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"&gt;On August&amp;#160;24, 2009, we completed the spin-off of Seahawk Drilling, Inc., which holds the
   assets and liabilities that were associated with our mat-supported jackup rig business. In the
   spin-off, our stockholders received 100% (approximately 11.6&amp;#160;million shares) of the outstanding
   common stock of Seahawk by way of a pro rata stock dividend. Each of our stockholders of record at
   the close of business on August&amp;#160;14, 2009 received one share of Seahawk common stock for every 15
   shares of our common stock held by such stockholder and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of
   Seahawk common stock to which such stockholder otherwise would have been entitled.

   &lt;div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"&gt;In connection with the spin-off, we made a cash contribution to Seahawk of approximately $47.3
   million to achieve a targeted working capital for Seahawk as of May&amp;#160;31, 2009 of $85&amp;#160;million. We and
   Seahawk also agreed to indemnify each other for certain liabilities that may arise or be incurred
   in the future attributable to our respective businesses. During the third quarter of 2010, we recorded a charge to income
   tax expense for discontinued operations due to the allocation of additional foreign tax credits to Seahawk stemming from
   the finalization of our 2009 income tax return. As of
   September&amp;#160;30, 2010 and December&amp;#160;31, 2009, we had a receivable from Seahawk of $14.1&amp;#160;million and
   $18.8&amp;#160;million, respectively, which is included in &amp;#8220;Other current assets,&amp;#8221; pursuant to a transition
   services agreement and management agreements for the operation of the &lt;i&gt;Pride Wisconsin &lt;/i&gt;and the &lt;i&gt;Pride
   Tennessee &lt;/i&gt;in connection with the spin-off.
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Other Divestitures&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"&gt;In the third quarter of 2008, we entered into agreements to sell our remaining seven land rigs
   for $95&amp;#160;million in cash. The sale of all but one rig closed in the fourth quarter of 2008. We
   leased the remaining rig to the buyer until the sale of that rig closed, which occurred in the
   second quarter of 2009.
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"&gt;In February&amp;#160;2008, we completed the sale of our fleet of three self-erecting, tender-assist
   rigs for $213&amp;#160;million in cash. We operated one of the rigs until mid-April&amp;#160;2009, when we
   transitioned the operations of that rig to the owner.
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"&gt;During the third quarter of 2007, we completed the disposition of our Latin America Land and
   E&amp;#038;P Services segments for $1.0&amp;#160;billion in cash. The purchase price was subject to certain
   post-closing adjustments for working capital and other indemnities. In December&amp;#160;2009, we filed suit
   against the buyer in the federal district court in the Southern District of New York to collect the
   final amount of the working capital adjustment payable by the buyer to us, plus interest, as
   determined in accordance with the purchase agreement, and the buyer made various counterclaims in
   the proceeding. All claims of the parties were settled in the first quarter of 2010, and the
   federal district court dismissed the claims with prejudice on March&amp;#160;10, 2010. From the closing date
   of the sale in the third quarter of 2007 through September&amp;#160;30, 2010, we recorded a total gain on
   disposal of $318.6&amp;#160;million, which included certain valuation adjustments for tax and other
   indemnities provided to the buyer and selling costs incurred by us. We have indemnified the buyer
   for certain obligations that may arise or be incurred in the future by the buyer with respect to
   the business. We believe it is probable that some of these indemnified liabilities will be settled
   with the buyer in cash. Our total estimated gain on disposal of assets includes an $8.3&amp;#160;million
   liability, based on our fair value estimates for the indemnities, and a $6.7&amp;#160;million asset for the
   cash value of tax benefits related to  tax overpayments that the buyer will owe us when
   the benefits are realized. In the first quarter of 2010, we recorded a $6.8&amp;#160;million charge to the
   gain on disposal in connection with the re-measurement of a remaining indemnity that resulted from
   a foreign exchange fluctuation. The expected settlement dates for the remaining tax indemnities may
   vary from within one year to several years. Our final gain may be materially affected by the final
   resolution of these matters.
