Operating Agreement

Under the First Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of the Company, dated October 24, 2012, the Company agreed to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws any Common Units, Sub Units or other limited liability company interests proposed to be sold by Seadrill Member LLC or any of its affiliates (including Seadrill Limited) or their assignees if an exemption from the registration requirements is not otherwise available or advisable. These registration rights continue for two years following any withdrawal or removal of Seadrill Member LLC as the Seadrill Member of the Company. The Company is obligated to pay all expenses incidental to the registration, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions.

Under the Operating Agreement, if, at any time, the Seadrill Member and its affiliates own more than 80% of the Common Units and Sub Units then outstanding, the Seadrill Member has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the remaining Common Units at a price equal to the greater of (1) the average of the daily closing prices of the Common Units over the consecutive twenty trading days preceding the date three days before notice of exercise of the call right is first mailed and (2) the highest price paid by the Seadrill Member or any of its affiliates for Common Units during the ninety-day period preceding the date such notice is first mailed.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Seadrill Limited agreed to sell its subsidiary that owns the tender rig T-16 to the Company for a total purchase price of $200 million, less approximately $93 million of debt outstanding under the credit facility secured by the T-16.
