PERFORMANCE GOALS

FOR PERFORMANCE UNIT AWARDS GRANTED IN 2014 UNDER

THE BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED 2002 DIRECTOR & OFFICER

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN AND

THE BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED 2002 EMPLOYEE

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

 

  1. 2014 Performance Unit Program

The Performance Unit Program, a component compensation program established under each of the Baker Hughes Incorporated 2002 Director & Officer Long-Term Incentive Plan and the Baker Hughes Incorporated 2002 Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “ PUP” ), provides for cash awards for participants if performance goals are met during the term of the PUP. The performance goals are related to the Company’s achievement as compared to a peer group of companies. Achievement is measured over multiple performance periods from the beginning of 2014 to the end of 2016. Twenty-five percent of the Total Unit Value is determined based upon one year performance relative to certain specified performance criteria during each of 2014, 2015, and 2016. The final twenty-five percent of the Total Unit Value is calculated at the end of 2016 based upon the cumulative performance of the Company over the three-year performance period 2014 through 2016.

 

LOGO

 

  2. Performance Goals for the Performance Period

For Performance Unit Awards granted by BHI in 2014 under the Plan, the performance goals are based upon the Company’s (1) change in Revenue as compared to the Peer Group, and (2) Return on Capital Employed or ROCE as compared to the Peer Group measured in absolute terms as well as the percentage growth in ROCE as compared to the Peer Group. For each performance goal, if the Company’s performance as compared to the Peer Group is the highest, the Company’s performance rank shall be first.

(a) One Year Performance Periods

Revenue Growth. For the 2014 Performance Period, the 2015 Performance Period and the 2016 Performance Period, the Company’s One Year Interval Percentage Increase in Revenue for its 2014, 2015 and 2016 fiscal years, respectively, shall be compared against the One Year Interval Percentage Increase in Revenue for all members of the Peer Group.

Return on Capital Employed. For the 2014 Performance Period, the 2015 Performance Period and the 2016 Performance Period, the Company’s ROCE for its 2014, 2015 and 2016 fiscal years, respectively, shall be compared against the ROCE for all members of the Peer Group during the applicable Current Period, as an absolute measure. In addition, as a relative measure, for the 2014 Performance Period, the 2015 Performance Period and the 2016 Performance Period, the Company’s One Year Interval Percentage Increase in ROCE for its 2014, 2015 and 2016 fiscal years, respectively, shall be compared against the One Year Interval Percentage Increase in ROCE for all members of the Peer Group.

 

(b) Three-Year Performance Period

Revenue Growth. For the Three-Year Performance Period, the Three-Year Percentage Increase in Revenue of the Company shall be compared against the Three-Year Percentage Increase in Revenue for all members of the Peer Group as of December 31, 2016.

Return on Capital Employed. For the Three-Year Performance Period, the sum of the ROCE of the Company for the 2014 Performance Period, the 2015 Performance Period and the 2016 Performance Period shall be compared against the sum of the ROCE

for each member of the Peer Group for the 2014 Performance Period, the 2015 Performance Period and the 2016 Performance Period, as an absolute measure. For the relative measure in the Three-Year Performance Period, the Three-Year Percentage Increase in ROCE of the Company shall be compared against the Three-Year Percentage Increase in ROCE for all members of the Peer Group as of December 31, 2016.

 

  3. Payout Percentage Based on Peer Group Ranking

For the Revenue Growth metric and ROCE metrics, the Unit Value earned during an applicable performance period (the 2014 Performance Period, the 2015 Performance Period, the 2016 Performance Period or the Three-Year Performance Period)     for each of the three performance goals is $25.00 times the payout percentage listed in the applicable chart below. The average of the $25.00 Unit Value Amounts earned during a performance period is used to determine the Period Unit Value for the performance period. The payout under each Performance Unit will be based on 12 measures (three Peer Group Ranking results achieved during four discrete performance periods.)

 

2014, 2015, 2016, and Three-Year Performance Period

 

Peer Group Rank in Revenue Growth

   5th     4th     3rd     2nd     1st  

Payout Percentage

     0     45     90     135     200

 

3


The payout percentage for ROCE will be based on a combination of the company’s rank in absolute ROCE as well as the company rank in percentage growth in ROCE.

 

LOGO

In the example below, for illustrative purposes, Year 1 Revenue growth rank was 5 th and 0 percent of $25.00 is $0. ROCE absolute rank was 2 nd and the ROCE rank in Growth was 2 nd , so the matrix above indicates a payout percentage of 135%, and 135% percent of $25.00 is $33.75. The Period Unit Value based upon the performance in Year 1 is $16.88. For each Performance Unit awarded, the sum of the Period Unit Values for each of the performance periods equals the Total Unit Value.

 

LOGO

Note that levels of achievement contained in the foregoing example are not forecasts by the Company of its expected levels of achievement. Rather, the levels of achievement for purposes of the illustrative example were selected at random.

If the Peer Group is reduced by merger(s) or otherwise during the term of the Three-Year Performance Period the Committee shall make such adjustments to the Unit Value Amount chart as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion. Such adjustments shall not increase the amounts that would have been payable under the Unit Value Amount chart absent such adjustments.

 

  4. Peer Group

The Peer Group is as follows for the performance periods ending in 2014, 2015, and 2016, and for the Three-Year Performance Period.

PERFORMANCE GOALS

FOR PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AWARDS GRANTED IN 2014 UNDER

THE BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED 2002 DIRECTOR & OFFICER

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

 

1. 2014 Performance Share Unit Program Overview

The Performance Share Unit Program, a component compensation program established under the Baker Hughes Incorporated 2002 Director & Officer Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2014 PSUP”), provides for equity awards for participants if certain performance goals are met during the term of the 2014 PSUP.

The amount that may be paid to a Participant under a Performance Share Unit Award will be determined under a two-step calculation. Under the first step, the number of Initial Performance Share Units awarded to a Participant under a Performance Share Unit Award will be preliminarily adjusted as specified herein based upon the achievement of Return on Capital Employed and Revenue growth operational performance goals that are consistent with the goals established for non-officer employees under the 2014 cash-based performance unit programs under the Baker Hughes Incorporated 2002 Director & Officer Long-Term Incentive Plan and the Baker Hughes Incorporated Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan. The resulting preliminarily adjusted units are referred to as “Preliminarily Adjusted Units.” Under the second step, the Preliminarily Adjusted Units will be further adjusted as specified herein based upon relative Total Shareholder Return performance. The final amount of the adjusted units is referred to as the “Final Adjusted Units.” A Participant will be entitled to be awarded one share of the Company’s Common Stock for each of the Participant’s Final Adjusted Units.

Operational Performance for Purposes of Determining Preliminarily Adjusted Units

Certain adjustments to a Participant’s Initial Performance Share Units are made based upon operational performance goals for purposes of determining the amount of a Participant’s Preliminarily Adjusted Units. The operational performance goals are related to the Company’s achievement as compared to a peer group of companies. Achievement of the operational performance goals is measured over multiple performance periods from the beginning of 2014 to the end of 2016. The amount of a Participant’s Preliminarily Adjusted Units is determined by multiplying the number of Initial Performance Share Units awarded to the Participant under a Performance Share Award by an aggregate preliminary payout percentage referred to as the “Total Unit Modifier.” Twenty-five percent of the Total Unit Modifier is determined based upon one-year performance relative to certain specified performance criteria during each of 2014, 2015, and 2016. The final twenty-five percent of the Total Unit Modifier is calculated at the end of 2016 based upon the cumulative performance of the Company over the three-year performance period 2014 through 2016.

LOGO

Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) Performance

Certain final adjustments to a Participant’s Preliminarily Adjusted Units are made based on relative TSR performance goals. The relative TSR performance goals are related to the Company’s TSR performance compared to the Philadelphia Stock Exchange Oil Service Sector Index (or OSX), over the Three-Year Performance Period.

 

  2. Performance Goals for the Performance Period

Operational Performance

For purposes of determining the amount of a Participant’s Preliminarily Adjusted Units under the 2014 PSUP, the performance goals are based upon the Company’s (1) change in Revenue as compared to the Peer Group, and (2) Return on Capital Employed or ROCE as compared to the Peer Group measured in absolute terms as well as the percentage growth in ROCE as compared to the Peer Group. For each performance goal, if the Company’s performance as compared to the Peer Group is the highest, the Company’s performance rank shall be first.

(a) One Year Performance Periods

Revenue Growth . For the 2014 Performance Period, the 2015 Performance Period and the 2016 Performance Period, the Company’s One Year Interval Percentage Increase in Revenue for its 2014, 2015 and 2016 fiscal years, respectively, shall be compared against the One Year Interval Percentage Increase in Revenue for all members of the Peer Group.

Return on Capital Employed. For the 2014 Performance Period, the 2015 Performance Period and the 2016 Performance Period, the Company’s ROCE for its 2014, 2015 and 2016 fiscal years, respectively, shall be compared against the ROCE for all members of the Peer Group during the applicable Current Period, as an absolute measure. In addition, as a relative measure, for the 2014 Performance Period, the 2015 Performance Period and the 2016 Performance Period, the Company’s One Year Interval Percentage Increase in ROCE for its 2014, 2015 and 2016 fiscal years, respectively, shall be compared against the One Year Interval Percentage Increase in ROCE for all members of the Peer Group.

 

(b) Three-Year Performance Period

Return on Capital Employed. For the Three-Year Performance Period, the sum of the ROCE of the Company for the 2014 Performance Period, the 2015 Performance Period and the 2016 Performance Period shall be compared against the sum of the ROCE for each member of the Peer Group for the 2014 Performance Period, the 2015 Performance Period and the 2016 Performance Period, as an absolute measure. For the relative measure in the Three-Year Performance Period, the Three-Year Percentage Increase in ROCE of the Company shall be compared against the Three-Year Percentage Increase in ROCE for all members of the Peer Group as of December 31, 2016.

Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) Performance

Three-Year Performance Period

For the Three-Year Performance Period, the Three-Year Total Shareholder Return of the Company shall be compared against the Three-Year Total Shareholder Return (TSR) for all members of the OSX Index as of December 31, 2016. TSR will be determined using the average share price during the 20-business day period ending on the first and last business day of Performance Period, assuming that any dividends paid are reinvested as of the ex-dividend date.

 

  3. Payout Percentage Adjustments Based on Peer Group Ranking

Operational Performance

For the Revenue Growth metric, the Preliminary Payout Percentage for an applicable performance period (the 2014 Performance Period, the 2015 Performance Period, the 2016 Performance Period or the Three-Year Performance Period) for each of the three performance goals is 25% times the payout percentage listed below.

 

2014, 2015, 2016, and Three-Year Performance Period

 

Peer Group Rank in Revenue Growth

   5 th     4 th     3rd     2 nd     1 st  

Payout Percentage

     0     45     90     135     200

 

4


The Preliminary Payout Percentage for ROCE will be based on a combination of the Company’s rank in absolute ROCE as well as the Company’s rank in percentage growth in ROCE.

 

LOGO

The average of the Preliminary Payout Percentages for the Revenue Growth and ROCE performance for a performance period is used to determine the Average Preliminary Payout Percentage for the performance period.

The sum of the Average Preliminary Payout Percentages is the Total Unit Modifier.

The Participant’s Initial Performance Share Units multiplied by the Total Unit Modifier equals the Participant’s Preliminarily Adjusted Units.

In the example below, for illustrative purposes, Year 1 Revenue growth rank was 5 th and 0% of 25% is 0%. ROCE absolute rank was 2 nd and the ROCE rank in Growth was 2 nd , so the matrix above indicates a payout percentage of 135%, and 135% percent of 25% is 33.75%. The Average Preliminary Payout Percentage based upon the performance in Year 1 is 16.88%. The sum of the Average Preliminary Payout Percentages for each of the performance periods equals the Total Unit Modifier.

 

LOGO

Note that levels of achievement contained in the foregoing example are not forecasts by the Company of its expected levels of achievement. Rather, the levels of achievement for purposes of the illustrative example were selected at random.

If the Peer Group is reduced by merger(s) or otherwise during the term of the Three-Year Performance Period the Committee shall make such adjustments to the above unit modifier chart as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion. Such adjustments shall not increase the amounts that would have been payable under the above unit modifier chart absent such adjustments.

Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) Performance

The final number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock to be paid under a Performance Share Unit Award granted in 2014 earned will be calculated by adjusting the Participant’s Preliminary Adjusted Units upwards or downwards based on the Company’s relative TSR performance compared to the OSX Index. The adjustment will be based on the table below.

 

TSR Percentile Rank

   TSR
Modifier

Less than 25th Percentile

   -30%

25th Percentile

   -15%

50th Percentile

   0%

75th Percentile or Greater

   30%

For Example:

The total award earned is calculated by first multiplying the number of Initial Performance Share Units granted by the Total Unit Modifier. The resulting product, the Preliminarily Adjusted Units, is then multiplied by the TSR Modifier. The sum of (1) the Preliminarily Adjusted Units and (2) the product of the Preliminarily Adjusted Units and the TSR Multiplier is the Final Adjusted Units. Each Final Adjusted Unit represents a right to receive one share of the Company’s Common Stock.

Assume the following:

 

    A participant was granted 10,000 Initial Performance Share Units

 

    The Company’s operational performance resulted in a Total Unit Modifier of 111.26%

 

    The Company’s relative TSR was at the 75 th percentile of the OSX Index resulting in 30% TSR Modifier

The total award earned = 10,000 x 111.26% x 1.30% = 14,464 Performance Share Units

ARTICLE II

PARTICIPATION

2.01 Eligibility. Eligibility for participation in the Plan shall be limited to those Key Employees who, by the nature and scope of their position, contribute to the overall results or success of the Companies.

2.02 Participation. Participation in the Plan shall be determined annually based upon the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer of Baker Hughes and the approval of the Committee. Employees approved for participation shall be notified in writing of their selection, and of their Performance Goals and related Award Opportunities, as soon after approval as is practicable.

2.03 Partial Plan Year Participation. The Committee may, upon recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer of Baker Hughes, allow an individual who becomes eligible after the beginning of a Plan Year to participate in the Plan for that Plan Year. In such a case, the Participant’s Final Award shall normally be reduced, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, to reflect the fact that the Participant has not been eligible to participate in the Plan for the entire Plan Year. Until the Committee specifies otherwise, such procedures shall be as follows: Normally, the reduction shall be effected by taking into account the Participant’s compensation (within the meaning of his Award Opportunity) for only the portion of the Plan Year in which he is eligible to participate in the Plan; provided, however, that if the Participant has an Award Opportunity that is based upon annualized compensation determined as of a particular date, his Final Award shall be prorated based upon the number of full months of participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, based upon the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer of Baker Hughes, authorize an unreduced Final Award.

ARTICLE III

AWARD OPPORTUNITIES AND

PERFORMANCE GOALS

3.01 Award Opportunities. The Committee shall establish, in writing, over achievement, expected value, and entry value incentive award levels (the “ Award Opportunities ”) for each Participant who is eligible to participate in the Plan for the Performance Period. The established Award Opportunities may vary in relation to the responsibility level of the Participant. Except in the case of a Covered Employee, if a Participant changes job levels or salary grades during the Plan Year, the Award Opportunities may be adjusted by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to reflect the amount of time at each job level and/or in each salary grade.

3.02 Performance Goals. The Committee shall establish, in writing, Performance Goals for each Participant for a Plan Year. A Performance Goal may be based on one or more business criteria that apply to the Participant, one or more business units of Baker Hughes and the Affiliates, or Baker Hughes and the Affiliates as a whole, with reference to one or more of the following: earnings per share, total shareholder return, cash return on capitalization, increased revenue, revenue ratios, net income, stock price, market share, return on equity, return on assets, return on capital, return on capital compared to cost of capital, return on capital employed, return on invested capital, shareholder value, net cash flow, operating income, earnings before interest and taxes, cash flow, cash flow from operations, cost reductions, cost ratios, Profit After Tax and Baker Value Added. Performance Goals may also be based on performance relative to a peer group of companies. Unless otherwise stated, a Performance Goal need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a particular business criterion and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to specific business criteria). All items of gain, loss, or expense for the Performance Period, and such other items utilized in measuring the achievement of Performance Goals for the Performance Period, determined to be extraordinary, unusual in nature, infrequent in occurrence, related to the acquisition or disposal of a business, or related to a change in accounting principle, all as determined in accordance with standards established by Opinion No. 30 of the Accounting Principles Board (APB Opinion No. 30), other applicable accounting rules, or consistent with Baker Hughes policies and practices for measuring the achievement of Performance Goals on the date the Committee establishes the Performance Goals may be included or excluded in calculating whether a Performance Goal has been achieved. In the case of a Participant other than a Participant who is or during the Performance Period may become a Covered Employee, nonfinancial objectives may also be included in a Participant’s Performance Goals but may not represent more than 25 percent of the Participant’s expected value Award Opportunity. No Participant who is a Covered Employee, or who the Committee expects may become a Covered Employee during the next three Plan Years, may have any portion of his Final Award based on nonfinancial, subjective Performance Goals.

3.03 Time of Establishment of Award Opportunities and Performance Goals. Performance Goals and Award Opportunities for a Participant for a Plan Year must be established by the Committee prior to the earlier to occur of (a) 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the Performance Goal relates or (b) the lapse of 25 percent of the period of service, and in any event while the outcome is substantially uncertain.

 

- 10 -


3.04 Adjustment of Performance Goals. The Committee shall have the right to adjust the Performance Goals (either up or down) during the Plan Year if it determines that external changes or other unanticipated business conditions have materially affected the fairness of the goals and unduly influenced the ability to meet them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such adjustment shall be made with respect to an individual who is a Covered Employee to the extent the same is considered an upward discretionary increase in the amount of the Final Award for such individual (within the meaning of Section 162(m)).

3.05 Individual Award Cap. Effective for Final Awards earned for Performance Periods commencing on and after January 1, 2006, the maximum annual Final Award any individual may receive under the Plan is $4,000,000.

ARTICLE IV

FINAL AWARD DETERMINATIONS

4.01 Final Award Determinations. As soon as practicable after the end of each Plan Year, Final Awards shall be computed for each Participant as determined by the Committee. The Committee shall certify in writing the extent to which the Performance Goals established pursuant to Section 3.02 and any other material terms of an award were in fact satisfied.

In determining the Final Award, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may increase or decrease calculated amounts to reflect factors regarding performance during the Plan Year which were not, in the sole opinion of the Committee, appropriately reflected in the Final Award calculation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Final Award to an individual who is a Covered Employee will not be subject to upward discretionary adjustment by the Committee. Downward discretionary adjustment for Covered Employees will be permitted.

4.02 Separation From Service Due to Death, Disability, or Retirement or Involuntary Termination of Employment. If a Participant incurs a Separation From Service by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, or he incurs an Involuntary Termination of Employment, the Final Award, determined in accordance with Section 4.01, shall be reduced so that it reflects only participation prior to the Separation From Service. This reduction shall be determined in a manner consistent with Section 2.03.

4.03 Employment Transfers . If a Participant transfers from one division to another division within Baker Hughes and the Affiliates, the Final Award for the Participant’s services performed for each division will be reduced in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. Normally, the reduction shall be effected by taking into account the Participant’s compensation (within the meaning of his Award Opportunity) for only the portion of the Plan Year in which he performed services for the applicable division. However, if the Participant has an Award Opportunity that is based upon annualized compensation determined as of a particular date, his Final Award shall normally be prorated based upon the number of full months of participation during which he performed services for the applicable division. The Final Award will be determined as soon as practicable after the end of the Plan Year and will be based upon the financial results at the close of the Plan Year. The Final Award will be paid at the same time the other Final Awards for the applicable division are paid. If a Participant is eligible for a Final Award in his new position with a different division, the Final Award for services performed for the new division will be based upon the Award Opportunities established by the Committee based upon the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer of Baker Hughes.

 

- 11 -


4.04 Disposition of Business. If the Participant’s employer or division is disposed of during the Plan Year and such disposition does not qualify as a Change in Control, payment of the Participant’s Final Award shall be determined in accordance with the following alternatives:

(a) If the acquirer offers employment to the Participant and assumes the obligations under the Plan, either directly or indirectly, and the Participant accepts such offer of employment, the Participant’s Final Award will not be forfeited but the Company shall not be obligated to pay the Final Award and such obligation shall be that of the acquiring party in accordance with the Final Award parameters.

(b) If the acquirer does not assume the obligations under the Plan, whether or not the Participant is offered and accepts employment, then the Participant’s Final Award will not be forfeited and the Participant will receive a prorated Final Award for the portion of the Plan Year that the Participant was employed by the Company prior to the date of the consummation of the sale of the Company or division, to be paid at the same time other Final Awards are paid under the Plan. The computation shall be made on the basis of the number of whole months rounded to the nearest whole month of the Plan Year that the Participant was in active service with the Company.

(c) If the acquirer offers employment to the Participant and assumes the obligations under the Plan, either directly or indirectly, and the Participant rejects such employment, the Participant shall forfeit his Final Award for the Performance Period then in progress pursuant to Section 4.05.

4.05 Separation From Service for Other Reasons. Except as specified in Article X or Section 4.04, if a Participant incurs a Separation From Service for any reason other than Retirement, Disability, Involuntary Termination of Employment or death, all of the Participant’s rights to any unpaid Final Award shall be forfeited.

ARTICLE V

P AYMENT OF BENEFITS

5.01 Time of Payment of Final Award. Except as specified in Article VIII, a Participant’s Final Award, to the extent not forfeited pursuant to Article VI, shall be paid to him on March 15 following the Performance Period (the “ Payment Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a Participant has elected to defer payment of his Final Award under the Supplemental Retirement Plan, such portion of his Final Award shall not be paid earlier than the deferral date selected under the Supplemental Retirement Plan.

5.02 Form of Payment of Benefits. All benefit payments shall be made in cash.

5.03 Unclaimed Benefits. In the case of a benefit payable on behalf of a Participant or former Participant, if the Plan Administrator is unable, after reasonable efforts, to locate the Participant, the former Participant or the beneficiary to whom such benefit is payable, upon the Plan Administrator’s determination thereof, such benefit shall be forfeited to the Company.

 

- 12 -


Notwithstanding the foregoing, if subsequent to any such forfeiture the Participant, the former Participant or beneficiary to whom such benefit is payable makes a valid claim for such benefit, such forfeited benefit (without any adjustment for earnings or loss) shall be restored to the Plan by the Company and paid in accordance with the Plan.

5.04 Statutory Benefits. If any benefit obligations are required to be paid under the Plan to a Participant or former Participant in conjunction with severance of employment under the laws of the country where the Participant or former Participant is employed or under federal, state or local law, the benefits paid to a Participant or former Participant pursuant to the provisions of the Plan will be deemed to be in satisfaction of any statutorily required benefit obligations.

5.05 Payment to Alternate Payee Under Domestic Relations Order . Plan benefits that are awarded to an Alternate Payee in a Domestic Relations Order shall be paid to the Alternate Payee at the time and in the form directed in the Domestic Relations Order. The Domestic Relations Order may provide for an immediate lump sum payment to an Alternate Payee. A Domestic Relations Order may not otherwise provide for a time or form of payment that is not permitted under the Plan. A Domestic Relations Order will be disregarded to the extent it awards an Alternate Payee benefits in excess of the applicable Participant’s or former Participant’s Account balance under the Plan.

ARTICLE VI

FORFEITURE OF BENEFITS

Except as specified in Section 4.04 or Article VIII, if a Participant incurs a Separation From Service for any reason other than Retirement, death, Disability or Involuntary Termination of Employment before the time a payment to him is to be made under Article V, he shall forfeit the payment and all amounts then deemed credited to his Accounts.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control during a Performance Period, (i) Final Awards for the Performance Period shall be computed for each Participant pursuant to Section 4.01 (assuming for this purpose that the Performance Goals established pursuant to Section 3.02 herein have been achieved to the extent required to earn the expected value Award Opportunity), and (ii) the Company shall pay to each Participant an amount equal to the Final Award so determined multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of the Participant’s months of participation during the Performance Period through the date of Change of Control (rounded up to the nearest whole month), and the denominator of which is twelve.

8.04 Termination of Employment Prior to Change in Control or Following Certain Changes in Control . Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary (other than the last sentence of this Section 8.04), a Participant shall be entitled to receive the payment described in Section 8.03 for a Performance Period if (i) such Participant’s employment is terminated by Baker Hughes or an Affiliate during the Performance Period without Cause prior to a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) and such termination was at the request or direction of a Person who has entered into an agreement with Baker Hughes or an Affiliate the consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control, (ii) such Participant resigns during the Performance Period for Good Reason prior to a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) and the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason occurs at the request or direction of the Person described in clause (i), or (iii) such Participant’s employment is terminated by Baker Hughes or an Affiliate during the Performance Period without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason and such termination or the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason is otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs).

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;

If the Plan Administrator notifies the claimant in writing during the initial 90-day period, it may extend the period up to 180 days after the initial receipt of the claim. The

 

- 16 -


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:

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

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

(3) 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.

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.

(b) Claims Appeals Procedures . For purposes of this Section 9.07 the Participant or the person entitled to benefits under the Plan is referred to as the “claimant.” If a claimant’s claim made pursuant to Section 9.07(a) 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. 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.

 

- 17 -


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.

9.08 Company to Supply Information . The Company shall supply full and timely information to the Plan Administrator, including, but not limited to, information relating to each Participant’s base salary, age, Retirement, death, or other cause of Separation From Service and such other pertinent facts as the Plan Administrator may require.

9.09 Indemnity. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Baker Hughes shall indemnify and save harmless the Board, each member of the Committee, each delegate of the Committee or the Board and the Plan Administrator against any and all expenses, liabilities and claims (including legal fees incurred to investigate or defend against such liabilities and claims) arising out of their discharge in good faith of responsibilities under or incident to the Plan. Expenses and liabilities arising out of willful misconduct shall not be covered under this indemnity. This indemnity shall not preclude such further indemnities as may be available under insurance purchased by Baker Hughes or provided by Baker Hughes under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, as such indemnities are permitted under applicable law.

Subject to certain stockholder approval described below, the Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to the Restricted Stock Units that are awarded hereby in accordance with the following schedule provided that your employment with the Company and its Affiliates has not terminated prior to the applicable lapse date: (a) on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, the Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to one-third of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Agreement; and (b) on each succeeding anniversary of the Grant Date, the Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to an additional one-third of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Agreement, so that on the third anniversary of the Grant Date the Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to all of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, the Forfeiture Restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock Units shall not lapse unless, prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date, the stockholders of the Company approve the increase in shares reserved for issuance under the Plan from 10,000,000 to 20,000,000 shares. If a Change in Control of the Company occurs or your employment with the Company and all Affiliates terminates before the third anniversary of the Grant Date, your rights to the Restricted Stock Units under this Agreement will be determined as provided in the attached Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements (the “Terms and Conditions”). Upon the lapse of the Forfeiture Restrictions applicable to a Restricted Stock Unit that is awarded hereby, the Company shall issue to you one share of the Company’s Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), in exchange for such Restricted Stock Unit and thereafter you shall have no further rights with respect to such Restricted Stock Unit. The Company shall cause to be delivered to you a stock certificate representing those shares of the Common Stock issued in exchange for Restricted Stock Units awarded hereby, and such shares of the Common Stock shall be transferable by you (except to the extent that any proposed transfer would, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, constitute a violation of applicable federal or state securities law).


LOGO

If during the period you hold any Restricted Stock Units awarded hereby the Company pays a dividend in cash with respect to the outstanding shares of the Common Stock (a “Cash Dividend”), then the Company will credit to an account established for you by the Company under the Plan (the “Account”) an amount equal to the product of (a) the Restricted Stock Units awarded hereby that have not been forfeited to the Company or exchanged by the Company for shares of the Common Stock and (b) the amount of the Cash Dividend paid per share of the Common Stock (the “Dividend Equivalent Credit”). The Company shall pay to you, in cash, an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalent Credits credited to the Account with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit on the date the Forfeiture Restrictions applicable to that Restricted Stock Unit lapse (and in no case later than the end of the calendar year in which the Forfeiture Restrictions applicable to that Restricted Stock Unit lapse or, if later, the 15th day of the third month following the date the Forfeiture Restrictions applicable to that Restricted Stock Unit lapse). If during the period you hold any Restricted Stock Units awarded hereby the Company pays a dividend in shares of the Common Stock with respect to the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, then the Company will increase the Restricted Stock Units awarded hereby that have not then been exchanged by the Company for shares of the Common Stock by an amount equal to the product of (a) the Restricted Stock Units awarded hereby that have not been forfeited to the Company or exchanged by the Company for shares of the Common Stock and (b) the number of shares of the Common Stock paid by the Company per share of the Common Stock (collectively, the “Stock Dividend Restricted Stock Units”). Each Stock Dividend Restricted Stock Unit will be subject to same Forfeiture Restrictions and other restrictions, limitations and conditions applicable to the Restricted Stock Unit for which such Stock Dividend Restricted Stock Unit was awarded and will be exchanged for shares of the Common Stock at the same time and on the same basis as such Restricted Stock Unit. The Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of (other than by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution). Any such attempted sale, assignment, pledge, exchange, hypothecation, transfer, encumbrance or disposition in violation of this Agreement shall be void and the Company Group shall not be bound thereby. Any shares of the Common Stock issued to you in exchange for Restricted Stock Units awarded hereby may not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner that would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws. You also agree that (a) the Company may refuse to cause the transfer of any such shares of the Common Stock to be registered on the stock register of the Company if such proposed transfer would in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities law and (b) the Company may give related instructions to the transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the transfer of such shares of the Common Stock.

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 employment with the Company Group terminates 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 shall 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 the termination of your employment relationship with the Company Group 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 the termination of your employment relationship with the Company Group, (2) is the number of days during the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the date your employment relationship with the Company Group and all of its Affiliates is terminated, and (3) is the number of days during the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the Third Anniversary Date. Such Forfeiture Restrictions specified in the preceding sentence shall 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 Third 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 shall not lapse and such Restricted Stock Units shall 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 ” shall not include a disposition that constitutes a Change in Control.

2. PROHIBITED ACTIVITY. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms and Conditions or the Agreement, if you engage in a “Prohibited Activity,” as described below, while employed by one or more members of the Company Group or within two years after the date your employment with the Company Group terminates, then your right to receive the shares of the Common Stock, to the extent still outstanding at that time, shall be completely forfeited. A “ Prohibited Activity ” shall be deemed to have occurred, as determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion, if you divulge any non-public, confidential or proprietary information of the Company or of its past, present or future affiliates (collectively, the “ Baker Hughes Group ”), but excluding information that (a) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of your public use, disclosure, or fault, or (b) becomes available to you on a non-confidential basis after your employment termination date from a source other than a member of the Baker Hughes Group prior to the public use or disclosure by you, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation.
