To be eligible to receive Benefits under the Plan, an individual must (i) be classified as (a) executive grade under the Company’s payroll system categories on the Employment Termination Date or (b) a Grandfathered Participant on the Employment Termination Date, (ii) incur an Involuntary Termination and (iii) execute and deliver to the Plan Administrator a Release Agreement provided to the Participant by the Plan Administrator by the deadline specified by the Plan Administrator. An individual who is classified by the Company as an independent contractor is not eligible to participate in the Plan (even if he is subsequently reclassified by the Internal Revenue Service or a court as a common law employee of the Company and the Company acquiesces to the reclassification).

The Company shall provide a Participant who has satisfied the eligibility requirements of Section 3 the Benefits described below. No Benefits will be deemed to have accrued prior to a Participant’s Employment Termination Date, and no rights to Benefits will be deemed to have vested until the occurrence of an Involuntary Termination.

Further details of the Benefits described in this Section 4 are provided in Exhibit A . Subject to the provisions of Section 13, the Plan Administrator may, from time to time, modify the Benefits to reflect changes in the compensation grade system or for changes in the Benefits approved by the Board.

The Committee or its delegate may, in its sole discretion, determine that a Participant who incurs a demotion shall continue to be treated as if he or she were in a specified Salary Band set forth in Exhibit A solely for purposes of the Plan, regardless of such Participant’s actual Salary Band, but in no event will such a Participant be eligible for a benefit greater than the level of benefits that applied to him or her immediately prior to his or her demotion. Any determination provided for in this paragraph shall be communicated to the Participant in writing.

(a) Base Compensation . The Company will pay the Participant a cash severance benefit based on the Participant’s Base Compensation at the Employment Termination Date, with the amount of the Base Compensation benefit determined in accordance with the relevant provisions of Exhibit A. The amount of the Participant’s cash severance benefit will depend upon the Company’s classification of the Participant for compensation purposes in the Company’s salary grade system. Notwithstanding the measurement of Base Compensation on an annual basis, a Participant’s Base Compensation for the month in which the Participant’s Employment Termination Date occurs will be used in determining the Base Compensation benefit. A Participant’s Base Compensation severance benefit will be paid in a single sum cash payment in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.

(b) Outplacement . Each Participant shall be entitled to outplacement assistance at the expense of the Company determined in accordance with the relevant provisions of Exhibit A and this Section 4(b). No cash will be paid in lieu of outplacement fees and costs. All fees for outplacement assistance shall be paid by the

Company directly to the provider of the outplacement assistance services. The in-kind outplacement assistance services that are provided pursuant to this Section 4(c) shall not be provided beyond the last day of the Participant’s second taxable year following the Participant’s taxable year in which the Participant incurs a Separation From Service.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall provide a Participant who is employed primarily outside of the United States such Benefits as the Plan Administrator determines taking into consideration any prohibitions or restrictions and any statutorily mandated severance benefits applicable to the Participant, with the intent of providing such Participant Benefits that are generally comparable to the Benefits provided to Participants who are employed primarily in the United States. It is the express intent of the Company that any Benefits paid to such a Participant will be in lieu of any statutorily-mandated severance benefits (or other employment termination related benefits), including, but not limited to, gratuities and similar benefits.

5.1 Other Benefit Programs.

The Company will pay the Participant, or cause the Participant to be paid, any other compensation and employee benefits to which he is entitled in accordance with the terms of the applicable compensation and employee benefit arrangements. Nothing in this Section 5.1 shall be construed to mean that a Participant is entitled to any benefits under any particular compensation or employee benefit arrangement.

5.2 Perquisites; Company Property; Expense Account.

(a) Perquisites . A Participant’s perquisites and perquisite allowance shall terminate effective as of the Participant’s Employment Termination Date. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value of the club memberships to be purchased does not exceed the amount of the dollar limitation in effect under section 402(g)(1) of the Code at the time of the Participant’s Separation From Service, a Participant may, at his option, purchase any of his club memberships held in the Company’s name at the fair market value and on the terms mutually agreed by the Participant and the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator will determine the fair market value of any such membership.

(b) Company Property . No later than the Participant’s Employment Termination Date (unless the Plan Administrator agrees otherwise in writing), the Participant shall return to the Company any company-owned property, including, but not limited to, credit cards, documents, files, computers, cellular telephones, personal digital assistants and any other company property of any kind or nature, in Participant’s possession as of his Employment Termination Date.

(c) Expense Account . Within 30 days after the Participant’s Employment Termination Date and in accordance with the Company’s then current expense reimbursement policy, the Participant will prepare and submit a final expense account reimbursement request for expenses incurred prior to his Employment Termination Date. The Company shall reimburse eligible expenses promptly but in no event later than the

last day of the Participant’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the Participant incurred the expense. The Participant’s right to reimbursement pursuant to this Section 5.2(c) shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

If the Participant is not a Specified Employee and the Participant has timely signed and delivered to the Plan Administrator the Release Agreement furnished to the Participant by the deadline established by the Plan Administrator, the Company shall pay the Participant the cash Benefits described in clause (a) of Section 4 in a single sum cash payment on the date that is 90 days after the date of the Participant’s Separation From Service. A Participant will not be permitted to specify the year in which his payment will be made. If the Participant is a Specified Employee and the Participant has timely signed and delivered to the Plan Administrator the Release Agreement furnished to the Participant by the deadline established by the Plan Administrator, the Company shall pay the Participant the cash Benefits described in clause (a) of Section 4 in a single sum cash payment on the date that is six months after the date of the Participant’s Separation From Service. Whether the Participant is or is not a Specified Employee, the Participant will not be paid the cash Benefits described in clause (a) of Section 4, and the Participant shall forfeit any right to such payments, unless (i) the Participant has signed and delivered to the Plan Administrator the Release Agreement furnished to the Participant and (ii) the period for revoking such Release Agreement shall have expired (in the case of both clause (i) and clause (ii)) prior to the earlier of the deadline established by the Plan Administrator or the applicable payment date (the date that is 90 days after the Participant’s Separation From Service if the Participant is not a Specified Employee or the date that is six months after the date of the Participant’s Separation From Service if the Participant is a Specified Employee).

The Company may withhold from any Benefits paid under the Plan all foreign, federal, and state and local income taxes required to be withheld, and all FICA and other employment taxes required to be withheld; provided that no taxes shall be withheld before Benefits are otherwise scheduled to be paid under the Plan.

8.1 Reduction for Other Severance Benefits . The amount of the Benefits to which a Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan shall be reduced by the amount, if any, of any other severance payments payable to the Participant by the Company under any other plan, program or individual contractual arrangement; provided, however , that there shall be no such reduction to the extent that such reduction would result in an acceleration of payment of nonqualified deferred compensation that is prohibited under Section 409A.

8.2 Non-Exclusivity of Rights . Nothing in the Plan shall prevent or limit the Participant’s continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided by the Company for which the Participant may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or reduce such rights as the Participant may have under any agreements with the

Company or any of its subsidiaries, except as otherwise provided in Section 8.1. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Participant is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan or program of the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be payable in accordance with such plan or program.

8.3 Statutory Severance . If any benefits obligations are required to be paid to a Participant in conjunction with severance of employment under the laws of the country where the Participant is employed or under federal, state or local law, the Benefits paid to the Participant will be deemed to be in satisfaction of any statutorily required benefit obligations to the extent that doing so would not result in an acceleration of payment of nonqualified deferred compensation that is prohibited under Section 409A.

If a Participant dies after his Employment Termination Date but before the Participant receives full payment of the Benefits to which he is entitled, any unpaid Benefits will be paid to the Participant’s surviving spouse, or if the Participant does not have a surviving spouse, to the Participant’s estate. Such payment shall be made within 30 days after the death of the Participant.

In consideration for the payment of the Benefits to the Participant, the Participant shall not engage in any of the activities described in this Section 10.

10.1 Non-Solicitation . During the period commencing with the Participant’s Employment Termination Date and ending on the first anniversary of such date, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly,

(a) interfere with the relationship of the Company or any Affiliate with, or endeavor to entice away from the Company or any Affiliate, any individual or entity who was or is a material customer or material supplier of, or maintained a material business relationship with the Company or its Affiliates;

(b) establish (or take preliminary steps to establish) a business with, or cause or attempt to cause others to establish (or take preliminary steps to establish) a business with, any employee or agent of the Company or any of its Affiliates, if such business is or will compete with the Company or any of its Affiliates; or

(c) employ, engage as a consultant or adviser, or solicit the employment, engagement as a consultant or adviser, of any employee or agent of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or cause or attempt to cause any individual or entity to do any of the foregoing.

10.2 Confidential Information . During the course of the Participant’s employment with the Company, the Participant may have had access to or received Confidential Information. Each Participant is obligated to keep confidential all such Confidential Information, except that any Participant may disclose the Confidential Information (i) in connection with enforcing his

rights under the Plan or if compelled by law, and in either case, the Participant shall provide written notice to the Company prior to the disclosure or (ii) if the Company provides written consent prior to the disclosure.

The Plan is only a general corporate commitment of the Company, and each Participant must rely upon the general credit of the Company for the fulfillment of its obligations hereunder. Under all circumstances, the rights of Participants to any asset held by the Company will be no greater than the rights expressed in the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee by the Company that the assets of the Company will be sufficient to pay any Benefit under the Plan or would place the Participant in a secured position ahead of general creditors of the Company. The Participants are only unsecured creditors of the Company with respect to their Benefits, and the Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Company to make Benefit payments in the future. No specific assets of the Company have been or shall be set aside, or shall in any way be transferred to a trust or shall be pledged in any way for the performance of the Company's obligations under the Plan which would remove such assets from being subject to the general creditors of the Company.

12.1 Plan Administrator. Baker Hughes shall be the “plan administrator” and the “named fiduciary” for purposes of ERISA. The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator.

12.2 Records and Procedures. The Plan Administrator shall keep appropriate records of its proceedings and the administration of the Plan and shall make available for examination during business hours to any Participant, former Participant or the beneficiary of any Participant or former Participant such records as pertain to that individual’s interest in the Plan. If a Committee is performing duties as the Plan Administrator, the Committee shall designate the individual or individuals who shall be authorized to sign for the Plan Administrator and, upon such designation, the signature of such individual or individuals shall bind the Plan Administrator.

12.3 Self-Interest of Plan Administrator. Neither the members of a Committee nor any individual Plan Administrator shall have any right to vote or decide upon any matter relating solely to himself under the Plan or to vote in any case in which his individual right to claim any benefit under the Plan is particularly involved. In any case in which the any Committee member or individual Plan Administrator is so disqualified to act, the other members of the Committee shall decide the matter in which the Committee member or individual Plan Administrator is disqualified.

12.4 Compensation and Bonding. Neither the members of a Committee nor any individual Plan Administrator shall receive compensation with respect to their services on the Committee or as Plan Administrator. To the extent required by applicable law, or required by the Company, neither the members of a Committee nor any individual Plan Administrator shall furnish bond or security for the performance of their duties hereunder.

12.5 Plan Administrator Powers and Duties. The Plan Administrator shall supervise the administration and enforcement of the Plan according to the terms and provisions hereof and shall have all powers necessary to accomplish these purposes, including, but not by way of limitation, the right, power, and authority:

(a) to make rules, regulations, and bylaws for the administration of the Plan that are not inconsistent with the terms and provisions hereof, and to enforce the terms of the Plan and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Plan Administrator;

(b) to construe in its discretion all terms, provisions, conditions, and limitations of the Plan;

(c) to correct any defect or to supply any omission or to reconcile any inconsistency that may appear in the Plan in such manner and to such extent as it shall deem in its discretion expedient to effectuate the purposes of the Plan;

(d) to employ and compensate such accountants, attorneys, investment advisors, and other agents, employees, and independent contractors as the Plan Administrator may deem necessary or advisable for the proper and efficient administration of the Plan;

(e) to determine in its discretion all questions relating to eligibility;

(f) to determine whether and when a Participant has incurred an Involuntary Termination; and

(g) to make a determination in its discretion as to the right of any individual to a Benefit under the Plan and to prescribe procedures to be followed by Participants, former Participants or beneficiaries in obtaining Benefits hereunder.

12.6 Reliance Upon Documents, Instruments, etc. The Plan Administrator may rely upon any certificate, statement or other representation made by or on behalf of the Company, any employee or any Participant, which the Plan Administrator in good faith believes to be genuine, and on any certificate, statement, report or other representation made to it by any agent or any attorney, accountant or other expert retained by it or the Company in connection with the operation and administration of the Plan.

The Board shall have the right to amend or terminate the Plan, in whole or in part, for any reason; provided, however, no amendment or termination of the Plan after a Participant’s Employment Termination Date shall affect the Benefits payable to the Participant.

14.1 Claims Review Procedures . When a Benefit is due, the Participant (or the person entitled to Benefits under Section 9) should submit a claim to the office designated by the Plan Administrator to receive claims. Under normal circumstances, the Plan Administrator will

make a final decision as to a claim within 60 days after receipt of the claim. If the Plan Administrator notifies the claimant in writing during the initial 60-day period, it may extend the period up to 120 days after the initial receipt of the claim. The written notice must contain the circumstances necessitating the extension and the anticipated date for the final decision. If a claim is denied during the claims period, the Plan Administrator must notify the claimant in writing, and the written notice must set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant:

(a) the specific reason or reasons for the denial;

(b) specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based;

(c) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

(d) an explanation of the Plan claims review procedures and time limits, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review.

If a decision is not given to the Participant within the claims review period, the claim is treated as if it were denied on the last day of the claims review period.

14.2 Claims Appeals Procedures. For purposes of this section the Participant or the person entitled to Benefits under Section 9 are referred to as the “claimant”). If the claim of the claimant made pursuant to Section 14.1 is denied and he wants a review, he must apply to the Plan Administrator in writing. That application can include any arguments, written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim for benefits. In addition, the claimant is entitled to receive on request and free of charge reasonable access to and copies of all information relevant to the claim. For this purpose, “relevant” means information that was relied on in making the benefit determination or that was submitted, considered or generated in the course of making the determination, without regard to whether it was relied on, and information that demonstrates compliance with the Plan’s administrative procedures and safeguards for assuring and verifying that Plan provisions are applied consistently in making benefit determinations. The Plan Administrator must take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether the information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. The claimant may either represent himself or appoint a representative, either of whom has the right to inspect all documents pertaining to the claim and its denial. The Plan Administrator can schedule any meeting with the claimant or his representative that it finds necessary or appropriate to complete its review.

The request for review must be filed within 90 days after the denial. If it is not, the denial becomes final. If a timely request is made, the Plan Administrator must make its decision, under normal circumstances, within 60 days of the receipt of the request for review. However, if the Plan Administrator notifies the claimant prior to the expiration of the initial review period, it may extend the period of review up to 120 days following the initial receipt of the request for a

review. All decisions of the Plan Administrator must be in writing and must include the specific reasons for its action, the Plan provisions on which its decision is based, and a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits, and a statement of the claimant’s right to bring an action under section 502(a) of ERISA If a decision is not given to the claimant within the review period, the claim is treated as if it were denied on the last day of the review period.

Within 60 days of receipt by a claimant of a notice denying a claim under the preceding paragraph, the claimant or his or her duly authorized representative may request in writing a full and fair review of the claim by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may extend the 60-day period where the nature of the benefit involved or other attendant circumstances make such extension appropriate. In connection with such review, the claimant or his or her duly authorized representative may review pertinent documents and may submit issues and comments in writing. The Plan Administrator shall make a decision promptly, and not later than 60 days after the Plan’s receipt of a request for review, unless special circumstances (such as the need to hold a hearing) require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than 120 days after receipt of a request for review. The decision on review shall be in writing and shall include specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based.

15.1 Adoption Procedure.

(a) Except to the extent that an Affiliate specifically determines otherwise by appropriate action of its board of directors or noncorporate counterpart, as evidenced by a written instrument executed by an authorized officer of such entity (approved by the board of directors or noncorporate counterpart of the Affiliate), each Affiliate shall participate in the Plan and shall be bound by all the terms, conditions and limitations of the Plan. The Plan Administrator and the Affiliate may agree to incorporate specific provisions relating to the operation of the Plan that apply to the Affiliate.

(b) The provisions of the Plan may be modified so as to increase the obligations of an adopting Affiliate only with the consent of such Affiliate, which consent shall be conclusively presumed to have been given by such Affiliate unless the Affiliate gives Baker Hughes written notice of its rejection of the amendment within 30 days after the adoption of the amendment.

(c) The provisions of the Plan shall apply separately and equally to each adopting Affiliate and its employees in the same manner as is expressly provided for Baker Hughes and its employees, except that the power to appoint or otherwise affect the Plan Administrator and the power to amend or terminate the Plan shall be exercised by Baker Hughes. The Plan Administrator shall act as the agent for each Affiliate that adopts the Plan for all purposes of administration thereof.

(d) Any Affiliate may, by appropriate action of its board of directors or noncorporate counterpart, terminate its participation in the Plan. Moreover, the Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, terminate an Affiliate’s participation in the Plan at any time.

(e) The Plan will terminate with respect to any Affiliate if the Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate or revokes its adoption of the Plan by resolution of its board of directors or noncorporate counterpart evidenced by a written instrument executed by an authorized officer of the Affiliate. If the Plan terminates with respect to any Affiliate, the employees of that Affiliate will no longer be eligible to be Participants in the Plan.

(f) The Plan as maintained by the Affiliates shall constitute a single plan rather than a separate plan of each Affiliate.

15.2 No Joint Venture Implied. The document which evidences the adoption of the Plan by an Affiliate shall become a part of the Plan. However, neither the adoption of the Plan by an Affiliate nor any act performed by it in relation to the Plan shall ever create a joint venture or partnership relation between it and any other Affiliate.

If the Company fails to make a payment in whole or in part by of the payment deadline specified in the Plan, either intentionally or unintentionally, other than with the consent of the Participant, the Participant shall make prompt and reasonable good faith efforts to collect the remaining portion of the payment. The Company shall pay any such unpaid benefits due to the Participant, together with interest on the unpaid benefits from the date of the payment deadline specified in the Plan at the annual rate of 120 percent of the rate specified in section 1274(b)(2)(8) of the Code within ten business days of discovering that the additional monies are due and payable.

The Company shall hold harmless and indemnify the Participant on a fully grossed-up after tax basis from and against (i) any and all taxes imposed under Section 409A by any taxing authority as a result of the Company’s failure to comply with this Section 16, and (ii) all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’, and experts’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Participant due to a tax audit or litigation addressing the existence or amount of a tax liability described in clause (i); and (iii) the amount of additional taxes imposed upon the Participant due to the Company’s payment of the initial taxes and expenses described in clauses (i) and (ii).

17.6 Governing Law . All provisions of the Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Texas, except to the extent preempted by federal law and except to the extent that the conflicts of laws provisions of the State of Texas would require the application of the relevant law of another jurisdiction, in which event the relevant law of the State of Texas will nonetheless apply, with venue for litigation being in Houston, Texas.

BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
OF
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENTS

These Terms and Conditions are applicable to a restricted stock unit award granted pursuant to the Baker Hughes Incorporated 2002 Director & Officer Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “ Plan ”) and are incorporated as part of the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement setting forth the terms of such restricted stock unit award (the “ Agreement ”).

1.1              Termination Generally . If you incur a Termination of Employment on or before the Second Anniversary Date for any reason other than one of the reasons described in Sections 1.2 through 1.5 below, the Forfeiture Restrictions then applicable to the Restricted Stock Units will not lapse and the number of Restricted Stock Units then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions will be forfeited to the Company on the date of your Termination of Employment.

1.2              Potential or Actual Change in Control .

(i)                 Termination of Employment Without Cause or for Good Reason in Connection With a Potential Change in Control on or Before the Second Anniversary Date . If you incur a Termination of Employment without Cause on or before the Second Anniversary Date prior to a Change in Control of the Company (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) and such Termination of Employment is at the request or direction of a Person who has entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control of the Company or is otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control of the Company (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) or (b) you incur a Termination of Employment for Good Reason on or before the Second Anniversary Date prior to a Change in Control of the Company (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs), and such Termination of Employment or the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason occurs at the request or direction of a Person who has entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control of the Company or is otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control of the Company (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs), then all remaining Forfeiture Restrictions will immediately lapse on the date of your Separation From Service if you are not a Specified Employee or on the date that is six months following your Separation From Service if you are a Specified Employee. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Separation From Service” has the meaning ascribed to that term in

Section 409A and “Specified Employee” means a person who is, as of the date of the person’s Separation From Service, a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, taking into account the elections made and procedures established in resolutions adopted by the Administrative Committee of Baker Hughes. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Section 409A” means section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the Department of Treasury rules and regulations issued thereunder.

(ii)               Termination of Employment Does Not Occur Before a Change in Control on or Before the Second Anniversary Date . If a Change in Control of the Company occurs on or before the Second Anniversary Date and you do not incur a Termination of Employment before the date the Change in Control of the Company occurs, then all remaining Forfeiture Restrictions will lapse at the time specified below. All remaining Forfeiture Restrictions will lapse on the date the Change in Control of the Company occurs if the Change in Control of the Company qualifies as a change in the ownership or effective control of the corporation, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the corporation, within the meaning of Section 409A, or (b) on the Second Anniversary Date, if the Change in Control of the Company does not so qualify.

1.3              Divestiture of Business Unit Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, if the Company Group divests its ownership of a business unit of the Company or one or more Affiliates (a “ Unit ”) and your Termination of Employment in connection with such divestiture (other than for Cause or death or due to your becoming permanently disabled within the meaning of Section 1.4), the Forfeiture Restrictions will lapse at the time specified below as to that number of Restricted Stock Units that are then subject to Forfeiture Restrictions on the date of your Termination of Employment equal to:

(1) multiplied by (2) divided by (3)

where (1) is the number of Restricted Stock Units that are then subject to Forfeiture Restrictions on the date of your Termination of Employment, (2) is the number of days during the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the date of your Termination of Employment, and (3) is the number of days during the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the Second Anniversary Date. Such Forfeiture Restrictions specified in the preceding sentence will lapse on the date the Change in Control of the Company occurs if the Change in Control of the Company qualifies as a change in the ownership or effective control of the corporation, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the corporation, within the meaning of Section 409A, or (b) on the Second Anniversary Date, if the Change in Control of the Company does not so qualify. The Forfeiture Restrictions then applicable to all the remaining Restricted Stock Units after the application of the previous provisions of this Section 1.3 will not lapse and such Restricted Stock Units will be immediately forfeited to the Company. A “ Divestiture ” includes the disposition of a Unit to an entity that the Company does not consolidate in its financial statements, whether the disposition is structured as a sale or transfer of stock (or other ownership interest), a merger, a consolidation or a sale or transfer of assets, or a combination thereof, provided that a “ Divestiture ” will not include a disposition that constitutes a Change in Control.

1.4              Disability . Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, if you become permanently disabled before the Second Anniversary Date and while in the active employ of one or more members of the Company Group, all remaining Forfeiture Restrictions will immediately lapse on the date of your Termination of Employment due to your becoming permanently disabled. For purposes of this Section 1.4, you will be “ permanently disabled ” if you (a) are unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, or (b) are, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Company Group.
