March 15, 2014 and the 2019 Notes shall mature on
March 15, 2019 (in each case, its “ Stated

2.04
Interest and Interest Rates . Each 2014 Note shall bear
interest at the rate of 8.625% per annum and each 2019 Note shall
bear interest at the rate of 9.750% per annum. Interest shall be
payable to the persons in whose name a Note is registered on the
fifteenth calendar day immediately preceding the applicable
Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day) (the “

is registered on the Regular Record Dates. Interest shall also be
payable at maturity of any Note.
If
an Interest Payment Date with respect to the Notes would otherwise
fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment
Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day with
respect to the Notes and no interest shall accrue or be payable on
such next succeeding Business Day for the period from and after
such original Interest Payment Date to such next succeeding
Business Day.
Except
as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, interest
payments shall be in the amount of interest accrued, from the most
recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has
been paid, from March 19, 2009 to, but excluding, the Interest
Payment Date.
2.06
Paying Agent and Security Registrar . The Company authorizes
and appoints the Trustee as the sole paying agent (the “
Paying Agent ”) with respect to the Notes
represented by Global Securities, without prejudice to the
Company’s authority to appoint additional paying agents from
time to time
pursuant to the
Original Indenture. The Company authorizes and appoints the Trustee
as the sole Security Registrar with respect to the
Notes.
2.07
No Sinking Fund . The Company is not required to make
mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the
Notes.
2.08

to time, by the Company mailing notice to the registered address of
each Holder of such series of Notes being redeemed at least
30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the
redemption. The Redemption Price shall be equal to accrued interest
thereon to the Redemption Date plus the greater of (1) 100% of
the principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed or (2) the

debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of
such Notes.
“
Comparable Treasury Price ” means, with respect

the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Trustee after
consultation with the Company.
“
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations ” means,
with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption
Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and
asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each
case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to
the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer, at 3:30 p.m., New
York time on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption
Date.
“
Reference Treasury Dealers ” means J.P. Morgan
Securities Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC and the Primary
Treasury Dealer selected by Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC and their
affiliates which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers,
and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of
J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC and the
Primary Treasury Dealer selected by Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC
or any of their respective affiliates shall cease to be a primary

principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such
Redemption Date.
Unless
the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and
accrued interest, on and after the Redemption Date interest will
cease to accrue on the Notes thereof called for redemption. In the
event that any Redemption Date is not a Business Day, the Company
will pay the Redemption Price on the next Business Day without any
interest or other payment due to the delay.
2.09 Change of
Control Repurchase Event . If a Change of Control Repurchase
Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to a series of Notes,
unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes
pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof, the Company will make an
offer to each Holder of such Notes to repurchase all or any part
(in amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash
equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes
repurchased to the date of repurchase (the “ Change of
Control Payment ”). Within 30 days following the
consummation of any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the
Company’s option, prior to the consummation of any Change of
Control (as defined below), but after the public announcement of an
impending Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each
Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or
transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of
Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase such Notes on
the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no
earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the
date such notice is mailed (the “ Change of Control
Payment Date ”). The notice shall, if mailed prior to
the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the
offer to repurchase is conditioned on the Change of Control
Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date
specified in the notice.
The
Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “ Exchange
Act ”), and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable
in connection with the repurchase of Notes of such series as a
result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that
the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with
the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes, the
Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and will not be deemed to have breached the
Company’s obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase
Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such
conflict.
On
the Change of Control Repurchase Payment Date, the Company will, to
the extent lawful: (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of
Notes (in amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof) properly tendered pursuant to the Company’s
Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an
amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all
Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn; and
(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the
Notes properly accepted, together with an Officers’
Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being
purchased by the Company.
The
Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of properly tendered
Notes the repurchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee will
promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by
book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to
any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided ,
that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000 above that amount.
The
Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon
a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an
offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with
the requirements for a Change of Control Offer made by the Company,
and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not
withdrawn under its Change of Control Offer. In the event that such
third party terminates or defaults on its Change of Control Offer,
the Company will be required to make a Change of Control Offer
treating the date of such termination or default by such third
party as though it were the date of the Change of Control
Repurchase Event.

Section 2.09, the terms set forth below shall have the
following respective meanings:
“
Below Investment Grade Rating Event ” means
with respect to a series of the Notes the ratings on such series of
Notes are lowered by each of the Rating Agencies and such series of
Notes are rated below Investment Grade by each of the Rating
Agencies on any date from the date of the first public notice of an
arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end
of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of a
Change of Control (which period shall be extended following the
consummation of a Change of Control so long as the rating of such
series of Notes is under publicly announced consideration for
possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies); provided
that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by
virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to
have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and
thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for
purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event
hereunder) if any of the Rating Agencies making the reduction in
rating to which this definition would otherwise apply does not
announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at
its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part,
of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result
of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or
not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the
time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event).
“

than the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries; (2) the
consummation of any transaction or series of related transactions
(including, without limitation, any merger, amalgamation,

or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, becomes the beneficial
owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then
outstanding Voting Stock of the Company, measured by voting power
rather than number of shares; (3) the Company consolidates,
amalgamates or enters into an arrangement with, or merge with or
into, any Person, or any Person consolidates, amalgamates or enters
into an arrangement with, or merges with or into, the Company, in
any such event pursuant to a transaction or series of transactions
in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or the
Voting Stock of such other Person is converted into or exchanged
for cash, securities or other property, other than any such
transaction where the shares of the Company’s Voting Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or
are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock
of the surviving Person immediately after giving effect to such
transaction; (4) the first day on which a majority of the
members of the Company’s Board of Directors is not comprised
of Continuing Directors; or (5) the adoption of a plan
relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution.

holding company are substantially the same as the holders of the
outstanding Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to that
transaction or (z) the shares of the Company’s Voting
Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute,

Stock of the holding company immediately after giving effect to
such transaction.

occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade
Rating Event.
“
Continuing Directors ” means, as of any date of
determination, any member of the Board of Directors of the Company
who (1) was a member of such Board of Directors on the date of
the issuance of the Notes; or (2) was nominated for election
or elected to such Board of Directors with the approval of a
majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such Board
of Directors at the time of such
nomination,
election or appointment (either by a specific vote or by approval
of the Company’s proxy statement in which such member was
named as a nominee for election as a director).
“
Investment Grade ” means a rating of Baa3 or
better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor

organization” within the meaning of
Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act, selected by

Smith
International, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing
under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the
“Company”, which term includes any successor Person
under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received
hereby promises to pay to
,
or registered assigns, the principal sum of
Dollars
($ )
(which amount may from time to time be increased or decreased by
adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for
the Depositary, in accordance with the rules and procedures of the
Depositary) on March 15, 2014, and to pay interest thereon
from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has
been paid or duly provided for, or if no interest has been paid,
from and including the date of issuance, semiannually in arrears in
cash on March 15 and September 15 in each year,
commencing
at the rate of 8.625% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid
or made available for payment. Interest will be computed on the
basis of a 360 day year comprised of twelve 30 day
months.
The
interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be
paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on
the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the
fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a Business Day), immediately
preceding such Interest Payment Date. In the event that any
Interest
Payment Date is
not a Business Day, interest shall be paid on the next Business Day
without any interest or other payment due to the delay. Any such
interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith
cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and
may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or
one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of
business on a subsequent record date for the payment of such
defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall
be given to Holders of Securities not less than 10 days prior
to such subsequent record date, or be paid at any time in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon
such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully
provided in said Indenture. Payment of the principal of and
interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of
the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York, in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the
time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private
debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company
payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of
the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the
Security Register. If this Security is a Global Security, then
notwithstanding the foregoing, each such payment will be made in
accordance with the procedures of the Depositary as then in
effect.
Reference
is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth
on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all
purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this
place.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this
Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture
or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

This

aggregate principal amount to $300,000,000, issued under an
indenture dated as of September 8, 1997 (herein called the
“Original Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank
of New York Mellon (formerly The Bank of New York), as Trustee
(herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any
successor trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by a first
supplemental indenture, dated as of March 19, 2009, between the
Company and the Trustee (the “First Supplemental
Indenture” and, together with the Original Indenture, the
“Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities
thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the
Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are
to be, authenticated and delivered.
The
Securities will bear interest, payable on each Interest Payment
Date to Holders of record on the fifteenth calendar day (whether or
not a Business Day) immediately preceding such Interest Payment
Date, at 8.625% per annum until March 15, 2014 or the
cancellation of the Securities. In the event that any Interest
Payment Date is not a Business Day, interest shall be paid on the
next Business Day without any interest or other payment due to the
delay.
The
Securities are the Company’s unsecured senior obligation and

unsecured senior indebtedness. The Securities are redeemable, in
whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, by the Company
