officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

interests of Whiting Petroleum Corporation (together with any successor thereto, the &#147;Company&#148;) and its stockholders by providing key employees and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-employee</FONT> directors of the Company and its
Affiliates (as defined below) with an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company, receive monetary payments based on the value of the Company&#146;s shares, or receive other incentive compensation. It is intended that the Plan will
promote continuity of management and increased incentive and personal interest in the welfare of the Company by those key employees who are primarily responsible for shaping and carrying out the long-range plans of the Company and securing the
Company&#146;s continued growth and financial success. In addition, by encouraging stock ownership by directors who are not employees of the Company or its Affiliates, the Company seeks to attract and retain on its Board of Directors persons of
exceptional competence and to provide a further incentive to serve as a director of the Company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(b) <B>Effective Date</B>. The effective

exempt from Section&nbsp;409A of the Code, including proposed, temporary, or final regulations or any other guidance issued by the Secretary of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service with respect thereto. The Company shall have no liability
to a Participant, or any other Person, if an Award that is intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section&nbsp;409A of the Code is not so exempt therefrom or compliant therewith or for any action taken by the Committee or the Company and, in
the event that any amount or benefit under the Plan becomes subject to penalties under Section&nbsp;409A of the Code, responsibility for payment of such penalties shall rest solely with the affected Participants and not with the Company.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Plan or Award Agreement, any payment(s) of &#147;nonqualified deferred compensation&#148; (within the meaning of Section&nbsp;409A of the Code) that are otherwise required to be made under the Plan to a
&#147;specified employee&#148; (as defined under Section&nbsp;409A of the Code) as a result of such employee&#146;s &#147;separation from service&#148; (as defined under Section&nbsp;409A of the Code, and excluding any payments that are not subject
to Section&nbsp;409A of the Code) shall be delayed for the first six (6)&nbsp;months following such separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the specified employee) and shall instead be paid (in a manner set forth in the Award
Agreement) upon expiration of such six (6)-month delay period. Furthermore, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan or Award Agreement, any payment of &#147;nonqualified deferred compensation&#148; (within the meaning of Section&nbsp;409A
of the Code) under the Plan that may be made in installment shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

shall be effective only if agreed to by the Participant or any other person(s) as may then have an interest in the Award, but the Committee need not obtain Participant (or other interested party) consent for the adjustment or cancellation of an
Award pursuant to the provisions of Section&nbsp;4(b) or the modification of an Award to the extent deemed necessary to comply with any applicable law, the listing requirements of any principal securities exchange or market on which the Shares are

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(c) <B>Clawback/Forfeiture/Recoupment of Awards</B>. Any Awards granted pursuant to this Plan, and any Stock issued or cash paid pursuant to

ownership or similar requirements made applicable by law, regulation or listing standards to the Company from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Committee may cancel an Award if the Participant, without the
consent of the Company, (A)&nbsp;has engaged in or engages in activity that is in conflict with or adverse to the interests of the Company or any Affiliate while employed by or providing services to the Company or any Affiliate, including fraud or

thereafter on the vesting, exercise or settlement of such Award, the sale or other transfer of such Award, or the sale of Shares acquired in respect of such Award, and must promptly repay such amounts to the Company. The Committee may also provide
in an Award Agreement that if the Participant receives any amount in excess of what the Participant should have received under the terms of the Award for any reason (including without limitation by reason of a financial restatement, mistake in
calculations or other administrative error), all as determined by the Committee, then the Participant shall be required to promptly repay any such excess amount to the Company. In addition, the Company shall retain the right to bring an action at
equity or law to enjoin the Participant&#146;s activity and recover damages resulting from such activity. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(d) <B>Correction of Defects,

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(a) <B>No Rights to Awards</B>. No Key Employee, Participating Key Employee, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-Employee</FONT> Director or
other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Key Employees, Participating Key Employees, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-Employee</FONT> Directors or holders
or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each Participating Key Employee or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-Employee</FONT> Director. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(b) <B>Withholding</B>. No later than the date as of which tax withholding is first required with respect to any Award under the Plan, the
Participating Key Employee shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee, withholding obligations arising with respect to Awards to Participating Key Employees under the Plan may be settled with Shares (other than Restricted Securities), including Shares that are part of, or are
received upon exercise of, the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement; <I>provided</I>, <I>however</I>, that the amount to be withheld may not exceed the total maximum statutory tax rates associated with the transaction to the extent
needed for the Company to avoid adverse accounting treatment. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and any Affiliate shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right
to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Participating Key Employee. The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for the settling of withholding obligations with Shares, including, without limitation,
the establishment of such procedures as may be necessary to satisfy the requirements of Rule <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">16b-3.</FONT> </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(c) <B>No Guarantee of Tax Treatment</B>. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan, the Company does not guarantee to any Participant or any
other Person with an interest in an Award that (i)&nbsp;any Award intended to be exempt from Code Section&nbsp;409A shall be so exempt, (ii)&nbsp;any Award intended to comply with Code Section&nbsp;409A or Code Section&nbsp;422 shall so comply, or
(iii)&nbsp;any Award shall otherwise receive a specific tax treatment under any other applicable tax law, nor in any such case will the Company or any Affiliate indemnify, defend or hold harmless any individual with respect to the tax consequences
of any Award. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(d) <B>No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements</B>. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any
Affiliate from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(e) <B>Rights and Status of Recipients of Awards</B>. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participating Key Employee the
right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate. Further, the Company or any Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participating Key Employee from employment, free from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise
expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement. The grant of an Award to a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-Employee</FONT> Director pursuant to Section&nbsp;6(a) of the Plan shall confer no right on such
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-Employee</FONT> Director to continue as a director of the Company or any Affiliate. Except for rights accorded under the Plan and under any applicable Award Agreement, Participating Key Employees and <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-Employee</FONT> Directors shall have no rights as holders of Shares as a result of the granting of Awards hereunder. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(f) <B>No Compensation for Benefit Plans</B>. No Award payable under this Plan shall be deemed salary or compensation for the purpose of
computing benefits under any benefit plan or other arrangement of the Company or any Affiliate for the benefit of its employees or directors unless the Company or appropriate Affiliate shall determine otherwise. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(g) <B>Unfunded Status of the Plan</B>. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Plan shall be unfunded and shall not create (or be
construed to create) a trust or a separate fund or funds. The Plan shall not establish any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participating Key Employee, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-Employee</FONT> Director or other Person.
To the extent any Person holds any right by virtue of a grant under the Plan, such right (unless otherwise determined by the Committee) shall be no greater than the right of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. </P>

fractional Shares or other securities or any rights thereto shall be cancelled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(k) <B>Whistleblower
