 Exhibit 10.6 
 ATWOOD OCEANICS, INC. 
 RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD

 AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT 
 2007 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 
 This is an Amended and Restated
Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated the 21st day of December 2010, between ATWOOD OCEANICS, INC. (the “Company”) and Mark Mey (“Restricted Stock Award Recipient”). 

Recitals: 
 The Company
has adopted its 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Plan”) for the awarding to Participants (as defined in the Plan) shares of Common Stock of the Company as restricted stock.
Pursuant to said Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors has approved and ratified the execution of this Agreement between the Company and the Restricted Stock Award Recipient. It is understood and agreed that
neither the award of restricted stock nor the execution of this Agreement shall create any right of the Recipient to remain in the employ of the Company, and that the Company retains the right to terminate such employment at will, for due cause or
otherwise. Any term not defined herein shall have the meaning given in the Plan. 
 On August 11, 2010, the Restricted
Stock Award Recipient and the Company entered into a Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the “Prior Award Agreement”) whereby the Company awarded 12,500 shares of restricted Common Stock, $1.00 par value of the Company (“Shares”)
to the Restricted Stock Award Recipient (the “Restricted Stock Award”), subject to performance measures, goals and milestones relating to the Restricted Stock Award to be established by the Committee by December 15, 2010 (the
“Performance Measures”). The Restricted Stock Award Recipient and the Company now wish to amend and restate the terms of the Prior Award Agreement to reflect the Performance Measures as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto which have now
been determined in good faith by the Restricted Stock Award Recipient and the Committee. This Agreement hereby amends and restates the Prior Award Agreement in its entirety. 







 Agreement: 
  

	 	1.	The Company has awarded to the Restricted Stock Award Recipient the Restricted Stock Award of 12,500 Shares. The Restricted Stock Award has a restriction and vesting
period of four (4) years (the “Restriction Period”) and is subject to achievement of the performance measures, goals and milestones (the “Performance Measures”) set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. During the Restriction
Period, the Restricted Stock Award Recipient may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Stock Award. At the end of the Restriction Period, the restrictions imposed by the Committee shall lapse with
respect to those Shares of the Restricted Stock Award calculated as vested by the Performance Measures, and such Shares shall vest. All other Shares included in the Restricted Stock Award shall be forfeited. 


 

	 	2.	The Restricted Stock Award is subject to acceleration of vesting and lapse of restrictions upon death, disability or Retirement as set forth in Section 10.2 of the
Plan. 

  

	 	3.	During the Restriction Period, if any dividends or other distributions are paid in Shares, the Restricted Stock Award Recipient shall receive such additional Shares,
but all such Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Shares included in the Restricted Stock Award with respect to which they were paid. 

  

	 	4.	The employment of the Restricted Stock Award Recipient, as it relates to the Restriction Period, shall be deemed to continue during any leave of absence which has been
authorized by the Company Group. 

  

	 	5.	Any adjustments to the Shares included in the Restricted Stock Award shall be made pursuant to Article IX of the Plan. 


 

	 	6.	Subject to the provisions of the Plan, in the event of a Change of Control, the Restricted Stock Award shall be immediately vested, fully earned and exercisable, and
the Restriction Period shall terminate immediately. 









	 	7.	Nothing herein contained shall affect the right of the Restricted Stock Award Recipient to participate in and receive benefits under and in accordance with the then
current provisions of any pension, insurance, profit sharing or other welfare plan or program of the Company Group. 

  

	 	8.	The Restricted Stock Award Recipient shall not be entitled to any of the rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Company in respect of any Shares included in the
Restricted Stock Award until a certificate or certificates representing such Shares shall have been actually issued and delivered to him. 

  

	 	9.	The Restricted Stock Award is subject to, and the Company and Restricted Stock Award Recipient agree to be bound by, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, except
that no amendment to the Agreement shall adversely affect the Restricted Stock Award Recipient’s rights under the Agreement without his consent. A copy of the Plan in its present form is available for inspection during business hours by the
Restricted Stock Award Recipient at the Company’s principal office. 

  

	 	10.	Upon lapse of the Restriction Period and/or vesting of the Restricted Stock Award, the Company Group may be required to withhold federal or local tax with respect to
the realization of compensation. Any federal or local tax withholding requirements with respect to the realization of compensation must be fully satisfied by the Restricted Stock Award Recipient upon the lapse of the Restriction Period and/or
vesting by delivering to the Company, on behalf of the Company Group, cash in an amount determined by the Company Group to be sufficient to satisfy any such withholding requirement. 


 

	 	11.	This Agreement has been executed and delivered the day and year first above written at Houston, Texas, and the interpretation, performance and enforcement of this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflicts of laws.
