(2) to the addresses set forth in any written notices of
address changes delivered to the Reorganized Debtors after the
date of any related proof of claim; or (3) to the addresses
reflected on the Schedules of Assets and Liabilities Filed by
the Debtors if no proof of Claim or proof of Interest is Filed
and the Reorganized Debtors have not received a written notice
of a change of address; and (b) in the case of the holder of a
Senior Note, by the Indenture Trustee to the latest mailing
address maintained of record by the pertinent Indenture
Trustee.
b. UNDELIVERABLE DISTRIBUTIONS.
i. HOLDING AND INVESTMENT OF UNDELIVERABLE PROPERTY.
If the distribution to the holder of any Claim or
Interest other than the holder of a Senior Note is
returned to the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing
Agent as undeliverable, no further distribution shall
be made to such holder unless and until the
Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent are
notified in writing of such holder's then current
address. Subject to section 7.7(b)(ii), undeliverable
distributions shall remain in the possession of the
Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent pursuant
to this section until such time as a distribution
becomes deliverable.
Unclaimed Cash (including interest, dividends and
other consideration, if any, distributed on or
received for undeliverable Weatherford Common Stock)
shall be held in trust in a segregated bank account
in the name of Reorganized Dailey International, for
the benefit of the potential claimants of such funds,
and shall be accounted for separately. Such funds
shall be held in interest-bearing accounts if
practicable, and the parties entitled to such funds
shall be entitled to their Pro Rata share of any
interest earned on such funds.
Undeliverable Weatherford - Old DII Equity
Consideration shall be held in trust for the benefit
of the potential claimants of such consideration. The
Disbursing Agent shall hold in trust a number of
shares sufficient to provide for unclaimed amounts of
such securities.
ii. DISTRIBUTION OF UNDELIVERABLE PROPERTY AFTER IT
BECOMES DELIVERABLE AND FAILURE TO CLAIM
UNDELIVERABLE PROPERTY. Any holder of an Allowed
Claim or Interest other than a holder of a Senior
Note who is entitled to but does not assert a claim
for an undeliverable distribution held by the
Reorganized Debtors, or the Disbursing Agent, within
two (2) years after the Effective Date shall no
longer have any claim to or interest in such
undeliverable distribution, and shall be forever
barred from receiving any distributions under this
Plan. In such cases, any Cash held for distribution
on account of such Claims shall be
DEBTORS' JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION Page 28
37
delivered to the Reorganized Debtors, and any
undeliverable Weatherford - Old DII Equity
Consideration shall be returned to Weatherford.
c. FAILURE TO PRESENT CHECKS. Checks issued in respect of
distributions under the Plan shall be null and void if not
presented for payment by the drawee bank within 60 days after
the date of issuance. Any amounts returned to the Reorganized
Debtors in respect of such checks shall be held by the
Reorganized Debtors. Requests for re-issuance of any such
check may be made directly to the Reorganized Debtors by the
holder of the Allowed Claim with respect to which such check
originally was issued, in which case a replacement check in
the same amount as the original, unpresented check shall be
issued. Any claim in respect of such voided check is required
to be made before the second anniversary of the Effective
Date, after which time all Claims in respect of void checks
and the underlying distributions shall be discharged and
forever barred from assertion against the Reorganized Debtors
and their property.
7.8 COMPLIANCE WITH TAX REQUIREMENTS. In connection with the Plan, to
the extent applicable, the Reorganized Debtors shall comply with all withholding
and reporting requirements imposed on them by any governmental unit, and all
distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such withholding and
reporting requirements. The Weatherford - Senior Note Holder consideration will
be allocated first to principal and then, to the extent such consideration
exceeds the principal amount of the Claim, to accrued but unpaid interest.
7.9 SETOFFS. Unless otherwise provided in a Final Order or in this
Plan, the Debtors may, but shall not be required to, offset against any Claim
and the payments to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of such Claim, any
claims of any nature whatsoever the Debtors may have against the holder of such
Claim or its predecessor, but neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of
any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtor of any
such claims the Companies may have against such holder or its predecessor.
7.10 FRACTIONAL INTERESTS. The calculation of any percentage
distribution of Weatherford Common Stock to be made to holders of certain
Allowed Claims and Interests as provided elsewhere in this Plan may
mathematically entitle the holder of such an Allowed Claim or Interest to a
fractional interest in such Weatherford Common Stock. For purposes of applying
this section, the holders of Allowed Claims or Interests under or evidenced by
Old Securities shall, in the case of Old Securities held in street name, mean
the beneficial holders thereof as of the Effective Date.
In lieu of fractional shares of Weatherford Common Stock, a Person who
would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share shall receive Cash,
without interest, in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Fair

ARTICLE VIII
TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES
8.1 ASSUMPTION OF ALL EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND LEASES NOT REJECTED. The
Plan constitutes and incorporates a motion by the Debtors to assume, as of the
Effective Date, all pre-petition executory contracts and unexpired leases to
which the Debtors are a party (including the Acquisition Agreement, the
Technology Agreement and the Lawrence Leases, as modified by the Lawrence/Dailey
Lease Modification Agreements), except for any executory contract or unexpired
lease that (a) has been previously assumed or rejected pursuant to a Final
Order, (b) is the subject of a pending contested motion for authority to assume
the contract or lease Filed by the Debtors prior to the Confirmation Date, or
(c) is identified on the Plan Supplement. The Plan Supplement shall be filed on
or before ten (10) days prior to the hearing to consider Confirmation of this
Plan and will include a list of all executory contracts or unexpired leases that
the Debtors intend to reject pursuant to the Plan (together, the "Rejected
Contracts"). Each assumed executory contract or assumed unexpired lease
(together, the "Assumed Contracts") shall, pursuant to the Plan, be assumed
without further order of Court upon Confirmation of this Plan. Each Rejected
Contract shall, pursuant to the Plan, be rejected without further order of the
Court upon Confirmation of this Plan.
8.2 CURE PAYMENTS. Any Cure Payment for each Assumed Contract shall be
made (i) in Cash on the Effective Date, or (ii) on such other terms as agreed to
by the Reorganized Debtors and the non- debtor parties to such Assumed Contract.
In the event of a dispute regarding (i) the amount of any Cure Payment, (ii) the
ability of the Reorganized Debtors to provide adequate assurance of future
performance under the Assumed Contract, or (iii) any other matter pertaining to
assumption (or assumption and assignment), the Cure Payment required by section
365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made by the Reorganized Debtors
following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving such
assumption.
8.3 BAR DATE FOR FILING OF REJECTION CLAIMS. Any Rejection Claim
arising from the rejection under this Plan of a Rejected Contract must be Filed
within thirty (30) days after the mailing of notice of Confirmation. Any
Rejection Claim that is not filed within such time frame shall be forever barred
and unenforceable against the Debtors, the Estates, the Reorganized Debtors, any
of their affiliates, successors and assignees, and their properties and barred
from receiving any distribution under this Plan. Any Allowed Rejection Claim
shall be treated in this Plan as a general unsecured Claim against the Debtor
that is a party to the Rejected Contract.
8.4 CHANGE IN CONTROL CONTRACTS. On the Effective Date, all Change in
Control Contracts will be deemed rejected. Any non-Debtor party to a rejected
Change in Control Contract will have an allowed Rejection Claim in Class 4A,
pursuant to section 502(b)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, equal to the compensation
provided by such party's employment agreement, without acceleration, for one
year following the Petition Date plus any unpaid compensation, without
acceleration, as of the Petition Date. All non-Debtor parties to rejected Change
in Control Contracts, except James D. Lawrence, will enter into consulting
contracts with Reorganized Dailey International on the Effective Date. Each such
consulting contract shall have a term of one year and provide for compensation
payable to the non-Debtor party equal to the difference between the payment in
respect of that party's Rejection Claim and the aggregate amount which would
have been payable if a change of control severance payment had been due
immediately prior to the commencement of the Reorganization Case. James D.
Lawrence will
DEBTORS' JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION Page 30
39
receive a bonus from Reorganized Dailey International on the Effective Date
equal to the difference between the payment he receives on account of his
Rejection Claim and the aggregate amount of severance that would have been
payable to him if a change of control severance payment had been due immediately
prior to the commencement of the Reorganization Case.

of any Claims by or against the Debtors or any other person, or to prejudice in
any manner the rights of the Debtors or any other person in any further
proceedings involving the Debtors.
15.4 GOVERNING LAW. Except to the extent the Bankruptcy Code, the
Bankruptcy Rules or the Delaware General Corporation Law are applicable, the
rights and obligations arising under the Plan shall be governed by, and
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas,
without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
15.5 TIME. In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by
this Plan, the day of the act, event, or default from which the designated
period of time begins to run shall not be included. The last day of the period

inaccessible, in which event the period runs until the end of the next day which
is not one of the aforementioned days. When the period of time prescribed or
allowed is less than eight days, intermediate days that are not Business Days

due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment will instead be made,
without interest, on the next Business Day.
15.7 HEADINGS. The headings used in this Plan are inserted for

any entity named or referred to in the Plan shall be binding on, and shall inure
to the benefit of, any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign of
such entity.
15.9 SEVERABILITY OF PLAN PROVISIONS. If prior to Confirmation any term
or provision of the Plan, which does not govern the treatment of Claims or
Interests or the conditions of the Effective Date or which is not governed by
the terms of the Acquisition Agreement or documents related thereto, is held by
the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court
shall have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it
valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the
original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void, or
unenforceable, and such term or provision shall then be applicable as altered or
interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration or interpretation, the
remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan will remain in full force and
effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated by such holding,
alteration, or interpretation. The Confirmation Order shall constitute a
judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of the
Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the
foregoing, is valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms.
15.10 NO ADMISSIONS. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed as an admission by the Debtors
with respect to any matter set forth herein, including, without limitation,
liability on any Claim or the propriety of any Claims classification.
