Any reference or definition contained in this RSU Grant Agreement (this “Agreement”) shall, except as otherwise specified, be construed in

transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, they shall be deemed to include any such person or estate. This Agreement shall be subject to the Plan and the Company’s Clawback Policy, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and
is incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan. 

Restricted Stock Units 
 RSU
Award. You have been awarded the number of RSUs shown on the Notice of Grant dated March 6, 2014, which is incorporated herein by reference. Each RSU represents a right to receive the value of one Share on the Vesting Date (as set forth in
the “Vesting Requirements” paragraph below), provided the vesting requirements set forth in this Agreement shall have been satisfied. No Shares are awarded or issued to you on the Date of Grant. 

Vesting Requirements. Subject to the “Forfeiture of RSUs” paragraph below, RSUs do not provide you with any rights or interest therein until
they become vested under one or more of the following circumstances (each such date a “Vesting Date”): 
  

	 	•	 	in one-third (1/3) increments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the Date of Grant, provided that you are still employed with the Company on the applicable anniversary; 

 

	 	•	 	25% of the then-remaining outstanding RSUs if your employment with the Company is involuntarily terminated by reason of a Reduction in Force on or after the first anniversary and prior to the second anniversary of the
Date of Grant; 

	 	•	 	50% of the then-remaining outstanding RSUs if your employment with the Company is involuntarily terminated by reason of a Reduction in Force on or after the second anniversary and prior to the third anniversary of the
Date of Grant; and 

  

	 	•	 	100% of the then-remaining outstanding RSUs on the earliest to occur prior to the third anniversary of the Date of Grant of: (1) the date of termination of your employment from the Company due to death,
(2) your Disability, or (3) the date a Change in Control occurs. 

 For purposes of this Agreement, a “Reduction in Force”
shall mean a termination of employment with the Company due to elimination of a previously required position or previously required services, or due to the consolidation of departments, abandonment of facilities or offices, technological change or
declining business activities, where such termination is intended to be permanent; or under other circumstances which the Compensation Committee, in accordance with standards uniformly applied with respect to similarly situated employees, designates
as a reduction in force. 
 Forfeiture of RSUs. RSUs which are not and do not become vested upon your termination of employment with the Company for
any reason shall, coincident therewith, terminate and be of no further force or effect. 
 In the event that, while you are employed by the Company or are
performing services for or on behalf of the Company under any consulting agreement, (a) you are convicted of (i) a felony or (ii) a misdemeanor involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude, or (b) you engage in conduct that
adversely affects or may reasonably be expected to adversely affect the business reputation or economic interests of the Company, as determined in the sole judgment of the Committee, then all RSUs and all rights or benefits awarded to you under this
Agreement shall be forfeited, terminated and withdrawn immediately upon (1) notice to the Committee of such conviction pursuant to (a) above or (2) final determination pursuant to (b) above by the Committee. The Committee shall
have the right to suspend any and all rights or benefits awarded to you hereunder pending its investigation and final determination with regard to such matters. 

Payment of RSUs. In the sole discretion of the Committee, RSUs shall be paid in (i) Shares, (ii) cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the
Shares otherwise deliverable on the Vesting Date, or (iii) any combination thereof, which shall be distributed or paid as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event later than 30 days, after the applicable Vesting Date. 

Taxes 
 You will realize income in
connection with this grant of RSUs in accordance with the tax laws of the jurisdictions applicable to you. You are solely responsible for the taxes associated with the RSUs, and you should consult with and rely on your own tax advisor, accountant or
legal advisor as to the tax consequences to you of this grant. 

 By acceptance of this Agreement, you agree that any amount which the Company is required to withhold on your
behalf, including PAYE, federal or state income tax and employee national insurance contributions or FICA withholding, or pursuant to applicable Company policy, in connection with income realized by you under this Agreement will be satisfied by
withholding cash, whole units or Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to but not exceeding the amount of such required tax withholding, unless the Committee determines to satisfy the statutory minimum withholding obligation by another
method permitted by the Plan. 
 Regardless of the withholding method referred to above, you are liable to the Company for the amount of income tax and
employee national insurance contributions or FICA withholding which the Company is required to withhold in connection with the income realized by you in connection with this Agreement, and you hereby authorize the Company to withhold such amount, in
whole or in part, from subsequent salary payments, without further notice to you, if the withholding method referred to above is not utilized or does not completely cover such required tax withholding. 

Transferability 
 RSUs granted
hereunder are non-transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order.

your standing authorization for us to do so) within the required two (2) business-day deadline.

POLICY NO. 1405-003 — EFFECTIVE DATE: 08/02/13 
  

			
	 SUBJECT:
	  	Clawback Policy
		
	 AFFECTS:
	  	McDermott International, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”)
		
	 PURPOSE:
	  	To govern the clawback of certain compensation awarded to executive officers of the Company.
		
	 POLICY:
	  	 If the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are materially restated within three years of the first public
release or filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of such financial statements, and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) determines, in its reasonable
discretion, that (1) any current or former executive officer (as defined in Rule 3b-7 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Company (an “Executive”) has engaged in intentional misconduct and
(2) such misconduct caused or partially caused the need for such restatement, then the Committee may, within 12 months after such a material restatement, require that the executive forfeit and/or return to the Company all or a portion of the
compensation vested, awarded or received under any bonus award (including pursuant to the Company’s Executive Incentive Compensation Plan), equity award (including any award of stock options, shares of restricted stock, deferred stock units or
restricted stock units) or other award during the period subject to restatement and the 12-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the SEC of the financial statements that were restated (including, with respect to any such
award that is subject to a multi-year vesting period, any compensation vested, awarded or received thereunder during such vesting period if such vesting period includes all or part of such 12-month period); provided, however, that any forfeiture
and/or return of compensation by an Executive under this policy will, in any event, be limited to any portion thereof that the Executive would not have received if the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries had been
reported properly at the time of first public release or filing with the SEC; provided, further, that this policy shall not apply with respect to any restatement of the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as to
which the need for restatement is determined following the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Company’s Director and Executive Officer Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended and restated November 8, 2010).

 
 The vesting, payment or other receipt of any rights or benefits awarded by the Company to
an Executive which are subject to this policy may be suspended pending an investigation and final determination by the Committee with regard to any alleged misconduct that may be subject to a determination by the Committee under this
policy.

			
		
		  	By accepting any award as to which this policy applies, each Executive must agree to the foregoing and agree to forfeit and/or return compensation to the Company as provided by this policy, as the same may be modified by, or
superseded by a replacement policy adopted by, the Committee, as the Committee may deem necessary to comply with regulations issued by the SEC under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The terms of this policy shall in no
way limit the ability of the Company to pursue forfeiture or reclamation of amounts under applicable law as the Compensation Committee may consider appropriate in its reasonable discretion.

 Interpretation Contact for the above policy is the Senior Vice President, Chief Administration Officer and Senior Vice
President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.EX-10.2

(March 6, 2014) 
 The Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) of McDermott International, Inc. (“McDermott” or the “Company”) has selected you to receive a grant of performance shares (“Performance Shares”) under the
2009 McDermott International, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) on March 6, 2014 (the “Date of Grant”). The provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference. 

Any reference or definition contained in this Performance Share Grant Agreement (this “Agreement”) shall, except as otherwise specified, be
construed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and all determinations and interpretations made by the Committee with regard to any question arising hereunder or under the Plan shall be binding and conclusive on you and your
beneficiaries, successors, assigns, estate or personal representatives. The term “Company,” as used in this Agreement with reference to employment or service, shall include subsidiaries of McDermott. Whenever the words “you” or
“your” are used in any provision of this Agreement under circumstances where the provision should logically be construed to apply to any beneficiary, successors, assigns, estate or personal representative to whom any rights under this
Agreement may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, they shall be deemed to include any such person or estate. This Agreement shall be subject to the Plan and the Company’s Clawback Policy, which is attached hereto
as Exhibit A and is incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan. 

Performance Shares 
 Grant of
Performance Shares. You have been awarded a grant of Performance Shares shown on the Notice of Grant dated March 6, 2014, which is incorporated herein by reference. This grant represents a right to receive Shares, calculated as described
below, provided the applicable performance measures and vesting requirements set forth in this Agreement shall have been satisfied. No Shares are awarded or issued to you on the Date of Grant. 

Vesting Requirements. Except as provided below, the Performance Shares do not provide you with any rights or interest therein until they become vested,
if at all, on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Vesting Date”), provided you are then still employed by the Company. 
  

	 	•	Reduction in Force. In the event you terminate employment prior to the third anniversary of the Date of Grant due to a “Reduction in Force,” then: 33% of the Performance Shares will continue to
vest, provided your termination date is on or after the first anniversary of the Date of Grant; and 66% of the Performance Shares will continue to vest, provided your termination date is on or after the second anniversary of the Date of Grant. The
number of Performance Shares that will vest pursuant to the preceding sentence will be determined by multiplying (a) the applicable percentage from the preceding sentence by (b) the total number of Performance Shares that would have
vested, if any, based on actual performance had you remained employed with the Company until the third anniversary of the Date of Grant, as determined in accordance with the schedules set forth under the caption “Earned Award” below.

 For this purpose, the term “Reduction in Force” means an involuntary termination of
employment with the Company due to elimination of a previously required position or previously required services, or due to the consolidation of departments, abandonment of facilities or offices, technological change or declining business
activities, where such termination is intended to be permanent; or under other circumstances which the Committee, in accordance with standards uniformly applied with respect to similarly situated employees, designates as a reduction in force. 

 

	 	•	Death or Disability. 100% of the Performance Shares shall vest on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant in the event of the prior occurrence of either (1) the termination of your employment with
the Company due to death or (2) your Disability, in each case subject to achievement of the applicable performance measures for vesting. The number of Performance Shares that will vest pursuant to the preceding sentence will be the total number
of Performance Shares that would have vested, if any, based on actual performance had you remained employed with the Company until the third anniversary of the Date of Grant, as determined in accordance with the schedules set forth under
“Earned Award” below. 

  

	 	•	Change in Control. If a Change in Control of the Company occurs, the number of Performance Shares that shall immediately vest on the date such Change in Control occurs shall be the greater of (i) 100%
of the Performance Shares or (ii) the vested percentage of Performance Shares determined in accordance with the schedules set forth under “Earned Award” below determined as of the date the Change in Control occurs, with a Vesting Date
as of the date such Change in Control occurs. Shares shall be distributed as soon as administratively practicable after the date of the Change in Control, but in any event no later than 30 days following the date of the Change in Control.

 Forfeiture of Performance Shares. Except as provided above, Performance Shares which are not vested as of the date of your
termination of employment with the Company shall, coincident therewith, terminate and be of no further force or effect. 
 In the event that, while you are
employed by the Company or are performing services for or on behalf of the Company under any consulting agreement, (a) you are convicted of (i) a felony or (ii) a misdemeanor involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude, or
(b) you engage in conduct that adversely affects or may reasonably be expected to adversely affect the business reputation or economic interests of the Company, as determined in the sole judgment of the Committee, then all Performance Shares
and all rights or benefits awarded to you under this Agreement shall be forfeited, terminated and withdrawn immediately upon (1) notice to the Committee of such conviction pursuant to (a) above or (2) final determination pursuant to
(b) above by the Committee. The Committee shall have the right to suspend any and all rights or benefits awarded to you hereunder pending its investigation and final determination with regard to such matters. 

 Earned Award. Except as otherwise provided above, the number of Performance Shares in which you will vest,
if any (the “Earned Award”), shall be determined based on the Company’s aggregate consolidated operating income for the period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending on December 31, 2016, as set forth below: 

 

									
	 Performance
	  	Aggregate Consolidated
Operating Income*	 	  	Award

	 Maximum
	  	>$	210	  	  	 	150	% 
	 Target

	 Threshold
	  	$	150	  	  	 	50	% 
	 < Threshold

	*	In millions 

	**	Award Percentages between the amounts shown will be calculated by linear interpolation. For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum Earned Award will be 150% of the Performance Shares shown on your Notice of Grant.

 Payment of Earned Award. Except as otherwise provided above in the section entitled “Vesting Requirements — Change in
Control,” you (or your estate or beneficiaries, if applicable) will receive one Share for each Performance Share that vests as an Earned Award. Shares shall be distributed as soon as administratively practicable after the Vesting Date, but in
any event no later than 30 days after the applicable Vesting Date or the date a Change in Control occurs.

tax and employee national insurance contributions or FICA withholding, or pursuant to applicable Company policy, in connection with income realized by you under this Agreement will be satisfied by withholding cash, whole Shares having an aggregate
Fair Market Value equal to but not exceeding the amount of such required tax withholding, unless the Committee determines to satisfy the statutory minimum withholding obligation by another method permitted by the Plan. 

Regardless of the withholding method referred to above, you are liable to the Company for the amount of income tax and employee national insurance
contributions or FICA withholding which the Company is required to withhold in connection with the income realized by you in connection with this Agreement, and you hereby authorize the Company to withhold such amount, in whole or in part, from
subsequent salary payments, without further notice to you, if the withholding method referred to above is not utilized or does not completely cover such required tax withholding.

relations order.
