    On _____,
____ (the “Date of Grant”), the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
(the “Committee”) of McDermott International, Inc. (the “Company”) selected you
to receive a grant of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) under the Company’s 2009
McDermott International, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”).  The provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by
reference.

    

    Any
reference or definition contained in 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 legal representatives and beneficiaries.  The term
“Company” as used in this Agreement with reference to employment shall include
subsidiaries of the Company.  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 the beneficiary, estate, or personal
representative, to whom any rights under this Agreement may be transferred by

such person.

    

    Restricted Stock
Units

    

    RSU
Award.  You have been awarded the number of RSUs shown on the
attached Notice of Grant.  Each RSU represents a right to receive a
share of Company common stock on the Vesting Date (as set forth in the “Vesting
Requirements” paragraph below) provided the vesting requirements set forth in
this agreement have been satisfied.

    

    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 in one-third (1/3) increments on the first, second and third
anniversaries of the Date of Grant.

    

    If your
employment is terminated prior to the third anniversary of the Date of Grant due
to “Retirement,” 25% of the then outstanding RSUs will vest provided your
termination date is on or after the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, and
50% of the then outstanding RSUs will vest provided your termination date is on
or after the second anniversary of the Date of Grant.  For this
purpose, “Retirement” means a voluntary termination of employment after
attaining age 60 and completing 10 years of service with the Company or its
subsidiaries, or an involuntary termination due to reduction in
force.

    

    All
outstanding RSUs shall become vested if you terminate employment due to death or
disability, or upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control” as defined in the
Plan.

    

    The
Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for additional
vesting.

    

    Forfeiture of
RSUs.  RSUs which are not and will not become vested upon your
termination of employment shall, coincident therewith, terminate and be of no
force or effect.

    

    In the
event that (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 grant of RSUs are forfeited, terminated and withdrawn immediately
upon such conviction or notice of such determination.  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.  RSUs shall be paid in shares of Company common stock,
which shall be distributed as soon as administratively practicable, but in no
event later than 30 days, after the applicable Vesting Date.

    

    Taxes

    

    You will
realize income on the grant of RSUs in accordance with the tax laws of the
jurisdiction that is applicable to you.

    

    Any
statutory minimum tax withholding requirement will be satisfied by withholding
shares having an aggregate fair market value on the applicable Vesting Date
equal to the amount of such required tax withholding.  You may arrange
to pay all of the amount of such required tax withholding in cash, in lieu of
share withholding, by contacting the principal Human Resources officer of the
Company, in writing, at least 60 days prior to the applicable Vesting
Date.

    

    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.

    

    Securities and Exchange
Commission Requirements

    

    If you
are a Section 16 insider, this type of transaction must be reported on a Form 4
before the end of the second (2nd)
business day following the Date of Grant.  Please be aware that if you
are going to reject the grant, you should do so immediately after the Date of

the action of the Company in establishing the Plan, nor any action taken by it,

    On _____,

(the “Committee”) of McDermott International, Inc. (the “Company”) selected you
to receive a grant of Performance Shares under the Company’s 2009 McDermott
International, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  The
provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference.

    

    Any
reference or definition contained in 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 legal representatives and beneficiaries.  The term

used in any provision of this Agreement under circumstances where the provision

will or by the laws of descent and distribution, it shall be deemed to include
such person.

    Performance
Shares

    

    Performance Shares
Award.  You have been awarded an initial grant (the “Initial
Grant”) of Performance Shares.  This grant represents a right to
receive shares of common stock of the Company, calculated as described below,
provided the applicable performance measures and vesting requirements set forth
in this agreement have been satisfied.  No shares are awarded or
issued to you on the Initial Grant Date.

    

    Vesting
Requirements.  Except as provided in the following paragraph,
Performance Shares do not provide you with any rights or interest therein until
they become vested on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Vesting
Date”), provided you are still employed by the Company or one of its
subsidiaries.

    

    In the
event you terminate employment prior to the third anniversary of the Date of
Grant due to “Retirement,” 33% of the Initial Grant will continue to vest
provided your termination date is on or after the first anniversary of the Date
of Grant, and 66% of the Initial Grant will continue to vest provided your
termination date is on or after the second anniversary of the Date of
Grant.

    

    For this
purpose, the term “Retirement” means (a) voluntary termination of employment
after attaining age 60 and completing at least 10 years of service with the
Company or its subsidiaries, or (b) involuntary termination in connection with a
reduction in force.

    

    In the
event your employment terminates by reason of your death or disability prior to
the third anniversary of the Date of Grant, 100% of the Initial Grant shall
continue to vest.

    The
Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for additional
vesting.

    

    Forfeiture of Performance
Shares.  Except as otherwise provided above, Performance Shares
which are not vested at your termination of employment for any reason shall,
coincident therewith, be forfeited.

    

    In the
event that (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 grant of Performance Units are forfeited,
terminated and withdrawn immediately upon such conviction or notice of such
determination.  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.

    

    Number of Performance
Shares.  The number of Performance Shares of your Initial Grant
in which you will vest, if any, shall be determined based one-half on the
Cumulative Operating Income of the Company and one-half on the Company’s Total
Shareholder Return relative to the Total Shareholder Return of our Peer Group
(defined below), each over the Performance Measurement Period as illustrated in
the schedules set forth below.  The “Performance Measurement Period”
means the period beginning on January 1, 2009 and ending on December 31,
2011.  The maximum number of Performance Shares in which you can vest
is 200% of your Initial Grant.

    

    Cumulative Operating
Income

    

    The term
“Cumulative Operating Income” means the Company’s operating income determined in
accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for the
Performance Measurement Period.  The Committee, in its discretion, may
adjust the GAAP results for unusual or non-recurring items.  The
percentage of Performance Shares in your Initial Grant in which you will vest
based on this performance measure is determined based on the schedule set forth
below.  Vested percentages between the amounts shown will be
calculated by linear interpolation.

100%

    

    The
vested percentage of the one half of the Performance Shares in your Initial
Grant that is based on Cumulative Operating Income will be zero if the
Cumulative Operating Income as of December 31, 2011 is below $___
million.  In no event will the vested percentage of this portion of
your Initial Grant be greater than 100% of your Initial Grant.

    

    

    Relative Total Shareholder
Return

    

    “Total
Shareholder Return” means A- B + C,
where

                                                                  B

    A = the
average closing stock price for the 20 day period ending on December 31,
2011,

    B = the
average closing stock price for the 20 day period ending on January 1, 2009,
and

    C =
dividends paid during the period beginning on January 1, 2009 and ending on
December 31, 2011, if any.

    

    The Total
Shareholder Return for the Company and for the Company’s “Peer Group” will be
calculated in accordance with the formula set forth above.  For this
purpose, “Peer Group” means the companies in the custom peer group used in the
performance graph included in our annual report on Form-10K for the year ended
December 31, 2008.  The Committee may adjust the composition of the
Peer Group in consideration of extraordinary corporate events affecting
individual companies in the Peer Group, such as merger, acquisition, insolvency,
dissolution or the like. The percentage of Performance Shares in your Initial
Grant in which you will vest based on the Company’s Total Shareholder Return
relative to the Total Shareholder Return of its proxy peer group is determined
in accordance with the schedule set forth below.  Vested percentages
between the amounts shown will be calculated by linear
interpolation.

100%

    

    The
vested percentage of the one-half of the Performance Shares in your Initial
Grant that is based on relative Total Shareholder Return will be zero if the
Company’s Total Shareholder Return ranks lower than the ___ percentile relative
to the proxy peer group.  In no event will the vested percentage of
this portion of your Initial Grant be greater than 100% of your Initial
Grant.  Notwithstanding the Company’s percentile rank, if the
Company’s Total Shareholder Return ranks first or second among the companies in
the Peer Group during the applicable measurement period, the vested percentage
of this portion of your award will be 100% of your Initial Grant.

    

    Payment of Performance
Shares.  Except as otherwise provided below in the section
entitled “Change in Control,” you (or your beneficiary, if applicable) will
receive one share of common stock of the Company for each Performance Share that
vests. Shares shall be distributed as soon as administratively practicable after
the Vesting Date.

    

    Change in
Control

    

    If a
Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) of the Company occurs, all
outstanding Performance Shares granted hereunder shall immediately
vest.  The number of Performance Shares that vest in connection with a
Change in Control shall be the greater of (i) 100% of the Initial Grant or (ii)
the vested percentage determined in accordance with the schedules set forth
above, with a Vesting Date as of the date such Change in Control occurs and
based on (1) Adjusted Cumulative Operating Income earned as of the end of the
fiscal quarter coincident with or immediately prior to the date the Change in
Control occurs and Adjusted Cumulative Operating Income targets with respect to
one-half of the Initial Grant, and (2) relative Total Shareholder Return
determined as the date the Change in Control occurs with respect to the
remaining one-half of the Initial Grant.  The Adjusted Cumulative
Operating Income target shall be determined by multiplying the targets set forth
above by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months from January
1, 2009 through the end of the fiscal quarter coincident with or immediately
prior to the date the Change in Control occurs and the denominator of which is
36.  Shares of common stock shall be distributed as soon as
administratively possible, but in no event more than 30 days following the date
of the Change in Control.

    

    Taxes

    

    You will
realize income on the grant of Performance Shares in accordance with the tax
laws of the jurisdiction applicable to you.  By acceptance of this
letter you agree that, upon vesting in the shares, any statutory minimum
required income or employment tax withholding will be satisfied by withholding
shares having an aggregate fair market value on the Vesting Date equal to the
amount of such required tax withholding.  You may arrange to pay the
amount of any such required tax withholding in cash, in lieu of share
withholding, by contacting the principal Human Resources officer of the Company,
in writing, at least 60 days prior to the Vesting Date.

    

    Transferability

    

    Performance
Shares 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.

    

    Securities and Exchange
Commission Requirements

    

    If you
are a Section 16 insider, this grant of Performance Shares is not reportable on
a Form 4 unless and until they become vested.  At that time, the
number of Performance Shares ultimately awarded to you must be reported on a
Form 4 before the end of the second (2nd)
business day following the Vesting Date or your date of retirement, as
applicable.  Please be aware that if you are going to reject the
grant, you should do so immediately after the Date of Grant.  Please
advise Kathy Peres and Renee Hack immediately by e-mail, fax or telephone if you
intend to reject this grant.
