1. The Company hereby grants to the individual named above (the Awardee) an Award of Restricted Stock Units each equal in value to one share of Common Stock of the Company. This award constitutes a right to receive shares in the future and does not represent any current interest in the shares subject to the award.

This award shall not vest whenever the delivery of shares under it would be a violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation.

The Award will fully vest and 100 percent of the restricted stock units will be deemed to be earned and shares will be issued, without restrictions, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as such term is defined in the Plan) provided, however, that no issuance of shares will be made until February 4, 2012 unless the Change in Control also qualifies as a change in the ownership or effective control of Murphy Oil Corporation, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of its assets, as determined under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

4. In the event of any relevant change in the capitalization of the Company subsequent to the date of this grant and prior to its vesting, the number of units will be adjusted to reflect that change.

An amount equivalent to these dividends and/or other distributions shall be paid to the holder upon the issuance of shares and payment of the award. Any such payment (unadjusted for interest) shall be made in whole shares of the $1.00 par value Common Stock of the Company and in cash equal to the value of any fractional shares.
