the Company, and each person controlling,  controlled by or under common control
with the  Company  within the  meaning of  Section 15 of the  Securities  Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act or the Rules and  Regulations,  harmless from and
against any and all loss, claim, damage,  liability,  cost or expense whatsoever
(including,  but not  limited  to, any and all  reasonable  legal fees and other
expenses and disbursements incurred in connection with investigating,  preparing
to defend or defending any action, suit or proceeding,  including any inquiry or
investigation,  commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever or in appearing
or preparing  for  appearance  as a witness in any action,  suit or  proceeding,
including  any  inquiry,   investigation  or  pretrial   proceeding  such  as  a
deposition) to which the Company or such  indemnified  person of the Company may
become  subject  under the  Securities  Act,  the  Exchange  Act,  the Rules and
Regulations,  or any other  federal  or state law or  regulation,  common law or
otherwise,  arising  out  of or  based  upon  (i)  the  material  breach  of any
representation,  warranty,  covenant or agreement made by the Placement Agent in
this  Agreement,  or (ii) any false or  misleading  information  provided to the
Company  in  writing  by  one  of  the  Placement  Agent's  indemnified  persons
specifically for inclusion in the Offering Materials or (iii) any application or
other document or written communication executed by the Placement Agent or based

     C. The Investor hereby agrees that it will indemnify and hold the Placement
Agent and each officer, director, shareholder, employee or representative of the
Placement  Agent,  and each person  controlling,  controlled  by or under common
control  with the  Placement  Agent  within  the  meaning  of  Section 15 of the
Securities  Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or the Rules and  Regulations,
harmless from and against any and all loss, claim,  damage,  liability,  cost or
expense whatsoever (including,  but not limited to, any and all reasonable legal
fees  and  other  expenses  and   disbursements   incurred  in  connection  with
investigating,  preparing to defend or defending any action, suit or proceeding,
including any inquiry or  investigation,  commenced or threatened,  or any claim
whatsoever  or in  appearing  or preparing  for  appearance  as a witness in any
action,  suit or proceeding,  including any inquiry,  investigation  or pretrial
proceeding  such  as  a  deposition)  to  which  the  Placement  Agent  or  such
indemnified  person  of  the  Placement  Agent  may  become  subject  under  the
Securities  Act,  the  Exchange  Act,  the Rules and  Regulations,  or any other
federal or state law or regulation,  common law or otherwise,  arising out of or
based  upon (i) the  conduct  of the  Investor  or its  officers,  employees  or
representatives  in its  acting  as the  Investor  for the  Offering,  (ii)  the
material breach of any representation,  warranty,  covenant or agreement made by
the  Investor  in the  Offering  Materials,  or (iii)  any  false or  misleading
information provided to the Placement Agent by one of the Investor's indemnified
persons.

     D. The Placement  Agent hereby  agrees that it will  indemnify and hold the
Investor and each officer, director, shareholder,  employee or representative of
the Investor, and each person controlling, controlled by or under common control
with the  Investor  within the  meaning of Section 15 of the  Securities  Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act or the Rules and  Regulations,  harmless from and
against any and all loss, claim, damage,  liability,  cost or expense whatsoever
(including,  but not  limited  to, any and all  reasonable  legal fees and other
expenses and disbursements incurred in connection with investigating,  preparing
to defend or defending any action, suit or proceeding,  including any inquiry or
investigation,  commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever or in appearing
or preparing  for  appearance  as a witness in any action,  suit or  proceeding,
including  any  inquiry,   investigation  or  pretrial   proceeding  such  as  a
deposition) to which the Investor or such indemnified person of the Investor may
become  subject  under the  Securities  Act,  the  Exchange  Act,  the Rules and
Regulations,  or any other  federal  or state law or  regulation,  common law or
otherwise,   arising  out  of  or  based  upon  the   material   breach  of  any
representation,  warranty,  covenant or agreement made by the Placement Agent in
this Agreement.

     E. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of commencement
of any  action  covered  by  Section  7(A),  (B),  (C) or (D),  the  party to be
indemnified shall,  within five (5) business days, notify the indemnifying party
of the  commencement  thereof;  the omission by one (1) indemnified  party to so
notify the indemnifying  party shall not relieve the  indemnifying  party of its
obligation to indemnify any other  indemnified  party that has given such notice
and shall not relieve the  indemnifying  party of any liability  outside of this
indemnification  if not  materially  prejudiced  thereby.  In the event that any
action is brought against the indemnified  party, the indemnifying party will be
entitled to participate  therein and, to the extent it may desire, to assume and
control  the  defense  thereof  with  counsel  chosen by it which is  reasonably
acceptable to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to
such  indemnified  party of its election to so assume the defense  thereof,  the
indemnifying  party  will not be liable to such  indemnified  party  under  such
Section  7(A),  (B),  (C), or (D) for any legal or other  expenses  subsequently

                                       10
<PAGE>
incurred by such indemnified  party in connection with the defense thereof,  but
the  indemnified  party may, at its own expense,  participate in such defense by
counsel  chosen by it,  without,  however,  impairing the  indemnifying  party's
control  of  the  defense.   Subject  to  the  proviso  of  this   sentence  and
notwithstanding  any other  statement  to the  contrary  contained  herein,  the
indemnified  party or  parties  shall  have the right to choose its or their own
counsel  and  control  the  defense  of any  action,  all at the  expense of the
indemnifying  party  if (i) the  employment  of such  counsel  shall  have  been
authorized in writing by the  indemnifying  party in connection with the defense
of  such  action  at  the  expense  of  the  indemnifying  party,  or  (ii)  the
indemnifying  party shall not have employed counsel  reasonably  satisfactory to
such  indemnified  party to have charge of the  defense of such action  within a
reasonable  time  after  notice of  commencement  of the  action,  or (iii) such
indemnified  party or parties shall have reasonably  concluded that there may be
defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those
available  to one  or  all  of the  indemnifying  parties  (in  which  case  the
indemnifying  parties  shall not have the right to direct  the  defense  of such
action on behalf of the  indemnified  party or parties),  in any of which events
such  fees  and  expenses  of one  additional  counsel  shall  be  borne  by the
indemnifying party; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in
connection with any one action or separate but substantially  similar or related
actions in the same jurisdiction  arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstance,  be liable for the  reasonable  fees and expenses of more than one
separate  firm of attorneys  at any time for all such  indemnified  parties.  No
settlement of any action or  proceeding  against an  indemnified  party shall be
made without the consent of the indemnifying party.

     F. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances
in which the  indemnification  provided  for in  Section  7(A) or 7(B) is due in
accordance  with  its  terms  but  is for  any  reason  held  by a  court  to be
unavailable  on grounds of policy or  otherwise,  the Company and the  Placement
Agent shall contribute to the aggregate losses,  claims, damages and liabilities
(including  legal or other expenses  reasonably  incurred in connection with the
investigation  or defense of same) which the other may incur in such  proportion
so that the  Placement  Agent  shall be  responsible  for  such  percent  of the
aggregate of such losses,  claims,  damages and  liabilities  as shall equal the
percentage of the gross  proceeds  paid to the  Placement  Agent and the Company
shall be responsible for the balance;  provided,  however, that no person guilty
of  fraudulent  misrepresentation  within the  meaning  of Section  11(f) of the
Securities  Act shall be  entitled to  contribution  from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  For purposes of this Section 7(F),
any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Placement
Agent, or any partner, director, officer, employee,  representative or any agent
of any  thereof,  shall have the same rights to  contribution  as the  Placement
Agent and each person  controlling,  controlled by or under common  control with
the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20
of the  Exchange  Act and each  officer of the Company and each  director of the
Company  shall have the same rights to  contribution  as the Company.  Any party
entitled to contribution will,  promptly after receipt of notice of commencement
of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim
for  contribution  may be made against the other party under this Section  7(D),
notify such party from whom  contribution may be sought,  but the omission to so
notify  such party shall not  relieve  the party from whom  contribution  may be
sought from any  obligation  they may have  hereunder  or otherwise if the party
from whom contribution may be sought is not materially prejudiced thereby.

                                       11
<PAGE>
     G. The indemnity and  contribution  agreements  contained in this Section 7
shall  remain  operative  and  in  full  force  and  effect  regardless  of  any
investigation  made by or on behalf of any indemnified person or any termination
of this Agreement.

     H. The Company hereby waives,  to the fullest extent  permitted by law, any
right to or claim of any punitive,  exemplary,  incidental,  indirect,  special,
consequential or other damages (including,  without limitation, loss of profits)
against the Placement Agent and each officer, director, shareholder, employee or
representative of the placement agent and each person controlling, controlled by
or under common  control with the Placement  Agent within the meaning of Section
15 of the  Securities  Act or  Section 20 of the  Exchange  Act or the Rules and
Regulations  arising out of any cause whatsoever (whether such cause be based in
contract,    negligence,   strict   liability,   other   tort   or   otherwise).
Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary  contained  herein,  the  aggregate
liability  of the  Placement  Agent  and each  officer,  director,  shareholder,
employee or representative  of the Placement Agent and each person  controlling,
controlled  by or under  common  control  with the  Placement  Agent  within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or
the Rules and  Regulations  shall not exceed the  compensation  received  by the
Placement Agent pursuant to Section 2 hereof. This limitation of liability shall
apply  regardless of the cause of action,  whether  contract,  tort  (including,
without  limitation,  negligence)  or breach of  statute  or any other  legal or
equitable obligation.

     8. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES.

     The Company  hereby agrees to bear all of the expenses in  connection  with
the Offering, including, but not limited to the following: filing fees, printing

 HERCULES OFFSHORE, INC. 
  
 STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT 
  

THIS AGREEMENT is made as of the Effective Date (as set forth on the Summary of Stock Option Grant) between HERCULES OFFSHORE, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and Optionee pursuant to the Hercules Offshore 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). 
  
 WHEREAS, the Board, or a Committee designated by the Board, has authority to grant Options under the Plan to Employees and directors of the Company; and

  
 WHEREAS, the Board or the Committee, as appropriate, has
determined to award Optionee the Option described in this Agreement; 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Optionee agree as follows: 
  
 1. Effect of Plan and Authority of Board or Committee. This Agreement and the Option granted hereunder are subject to the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. The Board or the Committee is authorized to make all
determinations and interpretations with respect to matters arising under the Plan, this Agreement and the Option granted hereunder. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings given them in the Plan or in the
Summary of Stock Option Grant, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference for all purposes. 
  
 2. Grant of Option. On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Summary of Stock Option Grant and the Plan, as of the Effective
Date, the Company hereby grants to Optionee the option to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock set forth on the Summary of Stock Option Grant at the Exercise Price per share set forth on the Summary of Stock Option Grant (the
“Option”). The Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option, as provided in the Summary of Stock Option Grant. It is agreed that the exercise price is at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share
of Common Stock on the Effective Date (110% of Fair Market Value if the Option is intended to be an ISO and if Optionee owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, within the meaning
of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code). 
  
 3. Exercisability and
Restrictions. 
  
 (a) Subject to the
provisions of Section 3(b) and (c), this Option may be exercised in installments on the vesting dates in the Vesting Schedule set forth on the Summary of Stock Option Grant. Each installment shall be exercisable, as to all or part of the shares
covered by the installment, at any time or times after the respective vesting date for such installment and until the expiration or termination of the Option. 

 (b) Upon exercise of all or any portion of the Option prior to a Conversion Transaction,
Optionee shall be required, as a condition to such exercise, to execute and become a party to the Company’s Operating Agreement to the extent Optionee is not already a party thereto. 
  
 (c) Upon exercise of all or any portion of the Option in
accordance with this Agreement and the Plan, Optionee may not sell, assign or transfer for a period of one year following such exercise a portion of the shares of Common Stock received upon such exercise equal to the Restriction Shares (as defined
below). The restriction in this Section 3(c) shall terminate immediately in the event that (x) Optionee’s employment or service with the Company ceases for any reason whatsoever, or (y) there is a Change in Control of the Company.
“Restriction Shares” shall mean a number of shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the product of (A) 50% times (B) the After-Tax Value (as defined below) of the exercise in question by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a
share of Common Stock as of the date of exercise. “After-Tax Value” shall mean the (x) the aggregate Fair Market Value of all shares received upon the applicable exercise of the Option, minus (y) the aggregate exercise price paid
for all shares upon the applicable exercise of the Option, minus (z) the amount of taxes owed by Optionee as a result of such exercise of the Option. 
  
 4. Term. 
  
 (a) Term of Option. This Option may not be exercised after the expiration of 10 years from the Effective Date (five years from the
Effective Date if Optionee owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code). 
  
 (b) Early Termination. Except as provided below, this
Option may not be exercised unless Optionee shall have been in the continuous employ or service of the Company or an affiliate of the Company from the Effective Date to the date of exercise of the Option. This Option may be exercised after the date
of Optionee’s termination of employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary only in accordance with the following: 
  
 (i) In the event Optionee’s employment or service is terminated on account of death or permanent or total disability (within the
meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), this Option will automatically vest in full and may be exercised, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, by Optionee or a legal representative of Optionee (in the case of Optionee’s
death), for up to three years from the date of such termination of employment or service, unless the Option, by its terms, expires earlier. 

 (ii) In the event Optionee’s employment or service is terminated by the Company
without “Cause” (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement between Optionee and the Company), this Option will automatically vest in full and may be exercised by Optionee, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part,
for up to three years from the date of such termination of employment or service, unless the Option, by its terms, expires earlier. 
  
 (iii) In the event Optionee’s employment or service is terminated for any reason other than the reasons set forth in subparagraphs
(i) and (ii) of this Section 4(b), this Option may be exercised by Optionee, to the extent then vested, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, for up to three months from the date of such termination of employment or service, unless
the Option, by its terms, expires earlier. 
  
 5. Manner of
Exercise and Payment. This Option shall be exercised by the delivery of a written notice of exercise in a form prescribed by the Board or the Committee to the Company, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the
Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment for such shares. The purchase price for such shares shall be payable to the Company in the manner specified in Section 8 of the Plan. 
  
 6. Withholding Tax. Promptly after demand by the Company, and at its
direction, Optionee shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the applicable withholding taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Option. Such withholding taxes may be paid in cash or, subject to the further provisions of this Section 6 of
this Agreement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option a number of shares of Common Stock having a value equal to the amount of such withholding taxes or by
delivering to the Company a number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (excluding restricted shares still subject to a risk of forfeiture) having a value equal to the amount of such withholding taxes. The value of any shares of Common
Stock so withheld by or delivered to the Company shall be based on the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date on which the tax withholding is to be made. Optionee shall pay to the Company in cash the amount, if any, by which the amount of such
withholding taxes exceeds the value of the shares of Common Stock so withheld or delivered. An election by Optionee to have shares withheld or to deliver shares to pay withholding taxes (an “Election”) must be made at or prior to the time
of exercise of the Option. All Elections shall be made in the same manner as is required for the exercise of the Option and shall be made on a form approved by the Company. 

 7. Delivery of Shares. Delivery of the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock
purchased upon exercise of this Option shall be made promptly after receipt of notice of exercise and full payment of the exercise price and any required withholding taxes. If the Company so elects, its obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of this Option shall be conditioned upon its receipt from the person exercising this Option of an executed investment letter, in form and content satisfactory to the Company and its legal counsel, evidencing the investment intent
of such person and such other matters as the Company may reasonably require. If the Company so elects, the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock, issued upon exercise of this Option shall bear any legends required by
the Company’s Operating Agreement as well as a legend in substantially the following form: 
  
 THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF l933 OR APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS SUCH SHARES ARE FIRST REGISTERED THEREUNDER OR UNLESS THE COMPANY RECEIVES A WRITTEN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH OPINION AND COUNSEL ARE ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, TO THE EFFECT
THAT REGISTRATION THEREUNDER IS NOT REQUIRED. 
  
 8.
Nonassignability. The Option granted hereunder may not be sold, transferred, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, other than by will or pursuant to the applicable laws of descent and distribution. In the case of the
death of Optionee or other person entitled to exercise the Option, the Company may require, as a condition to the transfer of the Option by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution or the exercise thereof, that the person entitled to
exercise the Option execute and deliver to the Company such instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested by the Company to evidence and confirm such person’s right and title to the Option. 
  
 9. Notices. All notices between the parties hereto shall be in
writing. Notices to Optionee shall be given to Optionee’s address as contained in the Company’s records. Notices to the Company shall be addressed to
                         at the principal executive offices of the Company. 
  
 10. Relationship With Contract of Employment. 
  
 (a) The grant of an Option does not form part of Optionee’s entitlement
to remuneration or benefit pursuant to his contract of employment, if any, nor does the existence of a contract of employment between any person and the Company or a Subsidiary give such person any right or entitlement to have an Option granted to
him or any expectation that an Option might be granted to him whether subject to any conditions or at all. 

 (b) The rights and obligations of Optionee under the terms of his contract of employment with the Company
or a Subsidiary, if any, shall not be affected by the grant of an Option. 
  
 (c) The rights granted to Optionee upon the grant of an Option shall not afford Optionee any rights or additional rights to compensation or damages in consequence of the loss or termination of his office or employment
with the Company or a Subsidiary for any reason whatsoever. 
  
 (d) Optionee shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages for any loss or potential loss which he may suffer by reason of being or becoming unable to exercise an Option in consequence of the loss or termination of his office or
employment with the Company or a Subsidiary for any reason (including, without limitation, any breach of contract by his employer) or in any other circumstances whatsoever. 
  
 11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (and not
the principles relating to conflicts of laws) of the State of Delaware, except as superseded by applicable federal law.
