Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as amended. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor provisions for forward-looking information. Some of the statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. The words "believe," "may," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "expect" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future financial performance and results of operations.
We have based these statements on our assumptions and analyses in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. Forward-looking statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results, and actual future results could differ materially from those described in such statements. While it is not possible to identify all factors, factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially include the risks and uncertainties disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K contained in Part I under "Risk Factors" and the risk factors and other cautionary statements contained in our other filings with the SEC.
Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Any of these factors, or a combination of these factors, could materially and adversely affect our future financial condition or results of operations and the ultimate accuracy of the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of our future performance, and our actual results and future developments may differ materially and adversely from those projected in the forward-looking statements. We caution against putting undue reliance on forward-looking statements or projecting any future results based on such statements or on present or prior earnings levels. In addition, each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement.

KBR, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information or notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and should be read together with our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2021 and the results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
There are many factors that may affect the accuracy of our cost estimates and ultimately our future profitability. These include, but are not limited to, the availability and costs of resources (such as labor, materials and equipment), productivity and
weather. We generally realize both lower and higher than expected margins on projects in any given period. We recognize revisions of revenues and costs in the period in which the revisions are known. This may result in the recognition of costs before the recognition of related revenue recovery, if any. Our significant accounting policies are detailed in "Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies" of our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We have evaluated all events and transactions occurring after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements were issued and have included the appropriate disclosures.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of KBR, Inc. and the subsidiaries it controls, including VIEs where it is the primary beneficiary. We account for investments over which we have significant influence, but not a controlling financial interest, using the equity method of accounting. See Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our equity investments and VIEs. All material intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Segment Reorganization
Effective January 1, 2021, we implemented a strategic change to the structure of our internal organization and transitioned from a three-core business segment model to a two-core business segment model comprised of Government Solutions and Sustainable Technology Solutions. The new Sustainable Technology Solutions segment is anchored by our innovative, proprietary process technologies. It also includes our highly synergistic advisory practice focused on energy transition and net-zero carbon emission consulting as well as the technology-led industrial solutions focused on innovative digital operations and maintenance ("O&M") solutions and advanced remote operations capabilities to improve throughput, reliability and environmental sustainability. Infusing high-end, sustainability expertise, client relationships and innovative, technology-led O&M solutions into Sustainable Technology Solutions is expected to increase resilience, generate new opportunities, simplify the business model and better position us to deliver its offerings across a broader industrial base.
Effective January 1, 2021, we reorganized our reportable segments and businesses as follows:
•Government Solutions includes the following four business units: Defense & Intel, formerly the Defense Systems Engineering and Centauri businesses; Science & Space, formerly called Space & Mission Solutions; Readiness & Sustainment, formerly called Logistics; and International.
•Sustainable Technology Solutions, includes Energy Solutions segment, Technology Solutions segment, and Non-strategic Business segment, with the exception of our Australian infrastructure business which moved to GS International in our Government Solutions segment.
•Other
We have presented our segment results reflecting these changes for all periods presented. See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on our segments.
The following should be read together with Revenue Recognition in our significant accounting policies as detailed in "Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies" of our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Revenue Recognition
Contract Types
The Company performs work under contracts that broadly consists of fixed-price, cost-reimbursable, time-and-materials, or a combination of the three.
Fixed-price contracts include both lump-sum and unit-rate contracts. Under lump-sum contracts, we perform a defined scope of work for a specified fee to cover all costs and any profit element. Lump-sum contracts entail significant risk to us because they require us to predetermine the work to be performed, the project execution schedule and all the costs associated with the scope of work. Unit-rate contracts are essentially fixed-price contracts with the only variable being units of work to be performed. Although fixed-price contracts involve greater risk than cost-reimbursable contracts, they also are potentially more profitable because the owner/customer pays a premium to transfer project risks to us.
Time-and-materials contracts typically provide for negotiated fixed hourly rates for specified categories of direct labor. The rates cover the cost of direct labor, indirect expense and fee. These contracts can also allow for reimbursement of cost of material plus a fee, if applicable. In US Government contracting, this type of contract is generally used when there is uncertainty of the extent or duration of the work to be performed by the contractor at the time of contract award or it is not possible to anticipate costs with any reasonable degree of confidence. With respect to time-and-materials contracts, we assume the price risk because our costs of performance may exceed negotiated hourly rates. In commercial and non-US government contracting, this contract is generally used for defined and non-defined scope contracts where there is a higher degree of uncertainty and risks as to the scope of work. These types of contracts may also provide for a guaranteed maximum price where the total cost plus the fee cannot exceed an agreed upon guaranteed maximum price or not-to-exceed provisions.
Under cost-reimbursable contracts, the price is generally variable based upon our actual allowable costs incurred for materials, equipment, reimbursable labor hours, overhead, and general and administrative expenses. Profit on cost-reimbursable contracts may be in the form of a fixed fee or a mark-up applied to costs incurred, or a combination of the two. The fee may also be an incentive fee based on performance indicators, milestones or targets and can be based on customer discretion or in form of an award fee determined based on customer evaluation of the Company's performance against contractual criteria. Cost-reimbursable contracts may also provide for a guaranteed maximum price where the total fee plus the total cost cannot exceed an agreed upon guaranteed maximum price. Cost-reimbursable contracts are generally less risky because the owner/customer retains many of the project risks, however it generally requires us to use our best efforts to accomplish the scope of the work within a specified time and budget. Cost-reimbursable contracts with the U.S. government are generally subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and are competitively priced based on estimated or actual costs of providing the contractual goods or services. The FAR provides guidance on types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services provided to the U.S. government and its agencies. Pricing for non-U.S. government agencies and commercial customers is based on specific negotiations with each customer.
See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our revenue by contract type.

Note 2. Business Segment Information
We provide a wide range of professional services and the management of our business is heavily focused on major projects or programs within each of our reportable segments. At any given time, government programs and joint ventures represent a substantial part of our operations. We are organized into two core business segments, Government Solutions and Sustainable Technology Solutions and one non-core business segment as described below:
Government Solutions. Our Government Solutions business segment provides full life-cycle support solutions to defense, space, aviation and other programs and missions for military and other government agencies primarily in the U.S., U.K. and Australia. KBR services cover the full spectrum from research and development, through systems engineering, intel, cyber analytics, space domain awarenesses, test and evaluation, systems integration and program management, to operations support, readiness and logistics.
Sustainable Technology Solutions. Our Sustainable Technology Solutions business segment is anchored by our innovative, proprietary process technologies that span ammonia/syngas/fertilizers, chemical/petrochemicals, clean refining and circular process/circular economy solutions. STS also includes our highly synergistic advisory and consulting practice focused on energy transition and net-zero carbon emission consulting, our high-end engineering and professional services offerings, as well as our technology-led industrial solutions focused on innovative digital operations and maintenance solutions and advanced remote operations capabilities to improve throughput, reliability, environmental sustainability, and ultimately profitability. From early planning through scope definition, advanced technologies and project life-cycle support, our STS business segment works closely with customers to provide what we believe is the optimal approach to maximize their return on investment.
Other. Our non-core Other segment includes corporate expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses not allocated to the business segments above.

Performance Obligations and Contract Liabilities
We recognized revenue from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods of $18 million and $28 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
On March 31, 2021, we had $11.6 billion of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize approximately 30% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue within one year, 34% in years two through five, and 36% thereafter. Revenue associated with our remaining performance obligations to be recognized beyond one year includes performance obligations related to the Aspire Defence and Fasttrax projects, which have contract terms extending through 2041 and 2023, respectively. Remaining performance obligations does not include variable consideration that was determined to be constrained as of March 31, 2021.
We recognized revenue of $107 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which was previously included in the contract liability balance at December 31, 2020.

Note 4. Acquisitions
Centauri Platform Holdings, LLC
On October 1, 2020, we acquired Centauri for $830 million subject to certain working capital, net debt and other post-closing adjustments, if applicable. As of March 31, 2021, the estimated fair values of net assets acquired were preliminary, with possible updates primarily in our finalization of our tax returns and settlement of net working capital adjustments with the seller. The Company recognized goodwill of $576 million primarily related to future growth opportunities based on an expanded service offering from intellectual capital and a highly skilled assembled workforce and other expected synergies from the combined operations. Intangible assets of $226 million were recognized and comprised of customer relationships and backlog, which will be amortized over a weighted-average period of 13 years. There were no changes to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities as reported in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For U.S. tax purposes, the transaction is treated as a stock deal. As a result, there is no step-up in tax basis and the goodwill and stepped-up acquired intangibles were not deductible for tax purposes.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized direct, incremental costs related to this acquisition of $1 million, which are included in "Acquisition and integration related costs" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The acquired Centauri business contributed $132 million of revenues and $17 million of gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
The following supplemental pro forma, combined financial information has been prepared from historical financial statements that have been adjusted to give effect to the acquisition of Centauri as though it had been acquired on January 1, 2019. Pro forma adjustments were primarily related to the amortization of intangibles, interest on borrowings related to the acquisition, significant nonrecurring transactions and acquisition related transaction costs. Accordingly, this supplemental pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of the combined company would have been had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2019, nor is it indicative of future results of operations.

Scientific Management Associates (Operations) Pty Ltd
On March 6, 2020, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities related to the government defense business of Scientific Management Associates (Operations) Pty Ltd ("SMA"). The acquired business of SMA provides technical training services to the Royal Australian Navy and is reported within our GS business segment. We accounted for this transaction using the acquisition method under ASC 805, Business Combinations. The agreed-upon purchase price for the acquisition was $13 million, less purchase price adjustments totaling $4 million resulting in net cash consideration paid of $9 million. We recognized goodwill of $12 million arising from the acquisition, which relates primarily to future growth opportunities to expand services provided to the Royal Australian Navy. During Q1 2021, contingent consideration liability that was recorded at the time of acquisition was settled for $1 million.
Note 5. Cash and Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and equivalents include cash balances held by our wholly owned subsidiaries as well as cash held by joint ventures that we consolidate. Joint venture and the Aspire project cash balances are limited to specific project activities and are not available for other projects, general cash needs or distribution to us without approval of the board of directors of the respective entities. We expect to use this cash for project costs and distributions of earnings.
The components of our cash and equivalents balance are as follows:

As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, the predominant component of change orders, customer claims and estimated recoveries of claims against suppliers and subcontractors above relates to our 30% proportionate share of unapproved change orders and claims associated with the Ichthys LNG Project discussed below.
KBR intends to vigorously pursue approval and collection of amounts due under all unapproved change orders and claims, against the clients and recoveries from subcontractors. Further, there are additional claims that KBR believes it is entitled to recover from its client and from subcontractors which have been excluded from estimated revenues and profits at completion as appropriate under U.S. GAAP. These commercial matters may not be resolved in the near term. Our current estimates for the above unapproved change orders, client claims and estimated recoveries of claims against suppliers and subcontractors may prove inaccurate and any material change could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Ichthys LNG Project
Project Status
We have a 30% ownership interest in the JKC joint venture, which was contracted to perform the engineering, procurement, supply, construction and commissioning of onshore LNG facilities for a client in Darwin, Australia (the "Ichthys LNG Project"). The contract between JKC and its client is a hybrid contract containing both cost-reimbursable and fixed-price (including unit-rate) scopes. We, along with our joint venture partners, are jointly and severally liable to the client.
The construction and commissioning of the Ichthys LNG Project is complete and all performance tests have been successfully performed. The entire facility, including two LNG liquefaction trains, cryogenic tanks and the combined cycle power generation facility, has been handed over to the client and is producing LNG. JKC is in the process of completing administrative close-out activities and continues to progress the various legal and commercial disputes with the client, suppliers and other third parties as further described below.
Unapproved Change Orders and Claims Against Client
Under the cost-reimbursable scope of the contract, JKC has entered into commercial contracts with multiple suppliers and subcontractors to execute various scopes of work on the project. Certain of these suppliers and subcontractors have made contract claims against JKC for recovery of costs and extensions of time to progress the works under the scope of their respective contracts due to a variety of issues related to alleged changes to the scope of work, delays and lower than planned subcontractor productivity. In addition, JKC has incurred costs related to scope increases and other factors and has made claims to its client for matters for which JKC believes it is entitled to reimbursement under the contract.
JKC believes any amounts paid or payable to the suppliers and subcontractors in settlement of their contract claims related to the cost-reimbursable scope are an adjustment to the contract price, and accordingly JKC has made claims for contract price adjustments under the cost-reimbursable scope of the contract between JKC and its client. However, the client disputed some of these contract price adjustments and subsequently withheld certain payments. In order to facilitate the continuation of work under the contract while JKC worked to resolve this dispute, the client agreed to a contractual mechanism (“Funding Deed”) in 2016 providing funding in the form of an interim contract price adjustment to JKC and consented to settlement of subcontractor claims as of that date related to the cost-reimbursable scope. While the client reserved its contractual rights under this funding mechanism, settlement funds (representing the interim contract price adjustment) have
been paid by the client. JKC in turn settled these subcontractor claims which have been funded through the Funding Deed by the client.
In October 2018, JKC received a favorable ruling in a separate arbitration related to the Funding Deed. The ruling determined a contract interpretation in JKC's favor, to the effect that delay and disruption costs payable to subcontractors under the cost-reimbursable scope of the EPC contract are for the client's account and are reimbursable to JKC. However, the client did not agree with the impact of the arbitration award and, accordingly, we initiated the Funding Deed proceeding referenced below to obtain further determination from the arbitration tribunal.
In September 2020, JKC (1) sought a Summary Determination from the arbitration tribunal effecting a stay of the repayment date of December 31, 2020 (“Sunset Date”); and (2) presented specific legal arguments to ultimately resolve the Funding Deed without the need for a full factual enquiry.
In a partial award in December 2020, the arbitration tribunal held that it could not decide the merits of the Funding Deed issue without hearing further evidence on factual issues. No determination was reached as to the actual position on entitlement and no decision has been rendered on reimbursable subcontractor settlement costs covered by the Funding Deed. In reaching this decision the arbitration tribunal also decided in its partial award that it did not have authority to stay JKC’s repayment of the funds under the Funding Deed following the passage of the Sunset Date. As the issues raised in the Funding Deed arbitration remained unresolved as of March 31, 2021, JKC could be required to refund sums funded by the client under the terms of the Funding Deed. JKC continues to assert that the subcontractor settlement sums were properly incurred and represent reimbursable costs.
In January 2021, the client demanded that JKC repay the Funding Deed amount and notified its intention to commence legal actions against JKC including claims on the parent company guarantees. The client also submitted an application to the arbitration tribunal asserting various legal theories and requesting immediate repayment of the Funding Deed. JKC opposed the application on the grounds that in seeking such relief, the client was asserting new claims that are not part of the current arbitration. The arbitration tribunal agreed with JKC that these were new claims and declined to order immediate repayment. However, the arbitration tribunal directed the parties to incorporate the new claims into the existing consolidated arbitration process. There are no hearing dates set for these matters.
Our proportionate share of the total amount of the contract price adjustments under the Funding Deed included in the unapproved change orders and claims related to JKC discussed above was $158 million and $157 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These amounts are subject to currency fluctuation risk and possible applicable taxes.
In September and October 2017, additional settlements pertaining to suppliers and subcontractors under the cost-reimbursable scope of the contract were presented to the client. The client consented to these settlements and paid for them but reserved its contractual rights. In reliance, JKC in turn settled these claims with the associated suppliers and subcontractors. The formal contract price adjustments for these settlements remained pending at March 31, 2021. However, unlike amounts funded under the Funding Deed, there is no requirement to refund these amounts to the client by a certain date.
There has been deterioration of paint and insulation on certain exterior areas of the plant. The client previously requested and funded paint remediation for a portion of the facilities. JKC’s profit estimate at completion includes a portion of revenues and costs for these remediation activities. Revenue for the client-funded amounts are included in the table above. In the first quarter of 2019, the client demanded repayment of the amounts previously funded to JKC. JKC is disputing the client's demand. The client has also requested a proposal to remediate any remaining non-conforming paint and insulation, but JKC and its client have not resolved the nature and extent of the non-conformances, the method and degree of remediation that was and is required, or who is responsible. We believe the remaining remediation costs will be material given the plant is now operating and there will be several operating constraints on any such works.
In addition, JKC has started proceedings against the paint manufacturer and initiated claims against the subcontractors. JKC has also made demands on insurance policies in respect of these matters. JKC believes that project insurance should significantly limit any exposure it has on painting and insulation damages. Proceedings and claims against the paint manufacturer, certain subcontractors and insurance policies are ongoing. As the principal insured, it is incumbent upon the client to pursue the insurance claims with diligence. JKC is urging the client to meet its contractual obligations.
Combined Cycle Power Plant
Pursuant to JKC's fixed-price scope of its contract with its client, JKC awarded a fixed-price EPC contract to a subcontractor for the design, construction and commissioning of the Combined Cycle Power Plant (the "Power Plant"). The
subcontractor was a consortium consisting of General Electric and GE Electrical International Inc. and a joint venture between UGL Infrastructure Pty Limited and CH2M Hill (collectively, the "Consortium"). On January 25, 2017, JKC received a Notice of Termination from the Consortium, and the Consortium ceased work on the Power Plant and abandoned the construction site. JKC believes the Consortium materially breached its subcontract and repudiated its obligation to complete the Power Plant, plus undertook actions making it more difficult and more costly for the works to be completed by others after the Consortium abandoned the site. Subsequently, the Consortium filed a request for arbitration with the ICC asserting that JKC repudiated the contract. The Consortium also sought an order that the Consortium validly terminated the subcontract. JKC has responded to this request, denying JKC committed any breach of its subcontract with the Consortium and restated its claim that the Consortium breached and repudiated its subcontract with JKC and is liable to JKC for all costs to complete the Power Plant.
In March 2017, JKC prevailed in a legal action against the Consortium requiring the return of materials, drawings and tools following their unauthorized removal from the site by the Consortium. After taking over the work, JKC discovered incomplete and defective engineering designs, defective workmanship on the site, missing, underreported and defective materials and the improper termination of key vendors/suppliers. JKC's investigations also indicate that progress of the work claimed by the Consortium was over-reported. JKC has completed the Consortium's work and the incurred costs significantly exceed the awarded fixed-price subcontract value. JKC's cost to complete the Power Plant includes re-design efforts, additional materials and significant re-work.
JKC is pursuing recourse against the Consortium to recover all of the costs to complete the Power Plant, plus the additional interest, and/or general damages by all means inclusive of calling bank guarantees provided by the Consortium partners. In April 2018, JKC prevailed in a legal action to call bank guarantees (bonds) and received funds totaling $52 million. Each of the Consortium partners has joint and several liability with respect to all obligations under the subcontract. JKC intends to pursue recovery of all additional amounts due from the Consortium via various legal remedies available to JKC.
Costs incurred to complete the Power Plant that have been determined to be probable of recovery from the Consortium under U.S. GAAP have been included as a reduction of cost in our estimate of profit at completion. The estimated recoveries exclude interest, liquidated damages and other related costs which JKC intends to pursue recovery from the Consortium. Amounts expected to be recovered from the Consortium are included in the table above at the beginning of this Note 6.
As of March 31, 2021, JKC's claims against the Consortium were approximately $1.8 billion (net of bonds and remaining lump sum contract value) for recovery of JKC's costs. The opening hearing of the power plant arbitration was held in April 2021. The final hearing is expected to be held in April and May 2022. The previous hearing dates were vacated due to the COVID-19 delay and the current dates may continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
JKC asked the Australian courts to require the parent company guarantors of the Consortium to issue payment to JKC in advance of the completion of the arbitration proceedings. The court concluded that the parent companies are responsible for Consortium’s liability resulting from the arbitration outcome, but they are not required to pay in advance of the arbitration. JKC continues to pursue the resolution of this matter and will seek collection from the Consortium and their parent guarantors who are all jointly and severally liable for any damages owed to JKC.
To the extent JKC is unsuccessful in prevailing in the Arbitration or the Consortium members are unable to satisfy their financial obligations in the event of a decision favorable to JKC, we would be responsible for our pro-rata portion of unrecovered costs from the Consortium. This could have a material adverse impact on the profit at completion of the overall contract and thus on our consolidated statements of operations and financial position.
Other Matters
JKC is entitled to an amount of profit and overhead (“TRC Fee”) which is a fixed percentage of the target reimbursable costs ("TRC") under the reimbursable component of the contract which was to be agreed by JKC and its client. At the time of the contract, JKC and its client agreed to postpone the fixing of the TRC until after a specific milestone in the project had been achieved. Although the milestone was achieved, JKC and its client have been unable to reach agreement on the TRC. This matter was taken to arbitration in 2017. A decision was issued in December 2017 concluding that the TRC should be determined based on project estimate information available at April 2014. JKC has included an estimate for the TRC Fee in its determination of profit at completion at March 31, 2021, based on the contract provisions and the decision from the December 2017 arbitration. JKC has submitted the revised estimate of the TRC Fee to the client. The parties have not agreed to the revised estimate, and JKC has started an additional arbitration on this dispute.
In late 2019, the International Chamber of Commerce consolidated the Funding Deed arbitration, TRC arbitration and certain other claims asserted by JKC along with claims asserted by its client. Pursuant to a recent procedural order, the client is
expected to file a detailed statement of its claim in August 2021. The arbitration panel has been constituted but a hearing date has not been scheduled.
Ichthys Project Funding
As a result of the ongoing disputes with the client and pursuit of recoveries against the Consortium through the Arbitration, we have funded our proportionate share of the working capital requirements of JKC to complete the project. We made investment contributions to JKC of approximately $484 million on an inception-to-date basis to fund project execution activities.
If we experience unfavorable outcomes associated with the various legal and commercial disputes, our total investment contributions could increase which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and cash flows. Further, if either of our joint venture partners in JKC do not fulfill their responsibilities under the JKC joint venture agreement or subcontract, we could be exposed to additional funding requirements as a result of the nature of the JKC joint venture agreement.
As of March 31, 2021, we had $164 million in letters of credit outstanding in support of performance and warranty guarantees provided to the client.
All of the Ichthys LNG project commercial matters are complex and involve multiple interests, including the client, joint venture partners, suppliers and other third parties. Ultimate resolution may not occur in the near term and could be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our current estimates for resolving these matters may prove inaccurate and, if so, any material change could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
See Note 8 "Equity Method Investments and Variable Interest Entities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding our equity method investment in JKC.
Note 7. Restructuring Charges
During 2020, our management initiated and approved a broad restructuring plan in response to the dislocation of the global energy market resulting from the decline in oil prices and the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the plan, management approved strategic business restructuring activities and decided to discontinue pursuing certain projects, principally lump-sum EPC and commoditized construction services. The restructuring plan was designed to refine our market focus, optimize costs, and improve operational efficiencies. The restructuring charges were substantially completed in 2020 and the details of the restructuring charges and asset impairments incurred through fiscal year 2020 are provided in the table below. No additional charges were incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Note 8. Equity Method Investments and Variable Interest Entities
We conduct some of our operations through joint ventures, which operate through partnerships, corporations and undivided interests and other business forms and are principally accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Additionally, the majority of our joint ventures are VIEs.

(a)Investments include $3 million and $24 million in funding contributions to JKC for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively.
(b)During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized an impairment of $13 million associated with our investment in a joint venture project located in the Middle East, and a $6 million impairment related to other equity method investments.
Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities
For the VIEs in which we participate, our maximum exposure to loss consists of our equity investment in the VIE, any amounts owed to us for services we may have provided to the VIE, and any amounts that we may be contractually or constructively obligated to fund in the future reduced by any unearned revenues on the project. Our maximum exposure to loss may also include our obligation to fund our proportionate share of any future losses incurred. As of March 31, 2021, we do not project any material losses related to these joint venture projects. Where our performance and financial obligations are joint and several to the client with our joint venture partners, we may be further exposed to losses above our ownership interest in the joint venture.
The following summarizes the total assets and total liabilities as reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to our unconsolidated VIEs in which we have a significant variable interest but are not the primary beneficiary.

Senior Credit Facility
On July 2, 2020, we amended our Senior Credit Facility to consist of a $1 billion revolving credit facility ("Revolver"), a $275 million Loan A, ("Term Loan A") of which a portion is denominated in Australian dollars, and a $520 million Term Loan B ("Term Loan B"), with an aggregate capacity of $1.795 billion. The Revolver and Term Loan A mature in February 2025 and Term Loan B matures in February 2027.
The interest rates with respect to the Revolver and Term Loan A are based on, at the Company's option, adjusted LIBOR plus an additional margin or base rate plus additional margin. The interest rate with respect to the Term Loan B is LIBOR plus 2.75%. Additionally, there is a commitment fee with respect to the Revolver.
The details of the applicable margins and commitment fees under the amended Senior Credit Facility are based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio as follows:

The Term Loan A provides for quarterly principal payments of 0.625% of the aggregate principal amount commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2020, increasing to 1.25% starting with the quarter ending June 30, 2022. The Term Loan B provides for quarterly principal payments of 0.25% of the initial aggregate principal amounts commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2020.
The Senior Credit Facility contains financial covenants of a maximum consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as such terms are defined in the Senior Credit Facility). Our consolidated leverage ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter may not exceed 4.25 to 1 through 2021, reducing to 4.00 to 1 in 2022 and 3.75 to 1 in 2023. Our consolidated interest coverage ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2020 and thereafter, may not be less than 3.00 to 1. As of March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with our financial covenants related to our debt agreements.
Convertible Senior Notes
Convertible Senior Notes. On November 15, 2018, we issued and sold $350 million of 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the "Convertible Notes") pursuant to an indenture between us and Citibank, N.A., as trustee. The Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations and bear interest at 2.50% per year, and interest is payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The Convertible Notes mature on November 1, 2023 and may not be redeemed by us prior to maturity.
The Convertible Notes are convertible into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our
common stock, at our election. It is our current intent and policy to settle the principal balance of the Convertible Notes in cash
and any excess value upon conversion in shares of our common stock. The initial conversion price of the Convertible Notes is approximately $25.51 (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances), based on the initial conversion rate of 39.1961 Common Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes. Prior to May 1, 2023, the Convertible Notes will be convertible only upon the occurrence of certain events and during certain periods, and thereafter, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. During 2021, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per Common Share, which exceeded our per share dividend threshold and adjusted the conversion rate to 39.3668 at a strike price of $25.40 as of March 31, 2021. The impact of dilution on our earnings per share from Convertible Notes is measured using the “treasury stock method”. As of March 31, 2021, the "if-converted" value of the Convertible Notes exceeded the $350 million principal amount by approximately $179 million.
The net carrying value of the equity component related to the Convertible Senior Notes was $57 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The amount of interest cost recognized relating to the contractual interest coupon was $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The amount of interest cost recognized relating to the amortization of the discount and debt issuance costs was $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The effective interest rate on the liability component was 6.50% as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Convertible Notes Call Spread Overlay. Concurrent with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, we entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (the "Note Hedge Transactions") and warrant transactions (the "Warrant Transactions") with the option counterparties. These transactions represent a Call Spread Overlay, whereby the cost of the Note Hedge Transactions we purchased to cover the cash outlay upon conversion of the Convertible Notes was reduced by the sales price of the Warrant Transactions. Each of these transactions is described below.
The Note Hedge Transactions cost an aggregate $62 million and are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution of common stock and/or offset the cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount upon conversion of the Convertible Notes in the event that the market price of our common stock is greater than the strike price of the Note Hedge
Transactions, which was initially $25.51 (subject to adjustment), corresponding approximately to the initial conversion price of the Convertible Notes. The Note Hedge Transactions were accounted for by recording the cost as a reduction to "Additional paid-in capital" based on the Note Hedge meeting certain scope exceptions provided under ASC Topic 815.
We received proceeds of $22 million for the Warrant Transactions, in which we sold net-share-settled warrants to the option counterparties in an amount equal to the number of shares of our common stock initially underlying the Convertible Notes, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The original strike price of the warrants is $40.02 per share. The Warrant Transactions could have a dilutive effect to our stockholders to the extent the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the Warrant Transactions, exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants. The Warrant Transactions have been accounted for by recording the proceeds received as "Additional paid-in capital".
The Note Hedge Transactions and the Warrant Transactions are separate transactions, in each case entered into by us with the option counterparties, and are not part of the terms of the Convertible Notes and will not affect any holder's rights under the Convertible Notes.
Senior Notes
On September 30, 2020, we issued and sold $250 million aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "Senior Notes") pursuant to an indenture among us, the guarantors party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as trustee. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our obligations under the Senior Credit Facility and certain other indebtedness. The net proceeds from the offering was approximately $245 million, after deducting fees and estimated offering expenses and were used to finance a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Centauri and pay related fees and expenses. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 30 and September 30 of each year, beginning on March 30, 2021, and the principal is due on September 30, 2028.
At any time prior to September 30, 2023, we may redeem all or part of the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the redemption date, plus a specified “make-whole premium.” On or after September 30, 2023 we may redeem all or part of the Senior Notes at our option, at the redemption prices set forth in the Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the redemption date. At any time prior to September 30, 2023, we may redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 104.750% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the redemption date. If we undergo a change of control, we may be required to make an offer to holders of the Senior Notes to repurchase all of the Senior Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees
In connection with certain projects, we are required to provide letters of credit, surety bonds or guarantees to our customers in the ordinary course of business as credit support for contractual performance guarantees, advanced payments received from customers and future funding commitments. As of March 31, 2021, we had $1 billion in a committed line of credit under the Senior Credit Facility and $415 million of uncommitted lines of credit to support the issuance of letters of credit. As of March 31, 2021, with respect to our Senior Credit Facility, we had $260 million of outstanding borrowings previously issued to fund the acquisition of Centauri and $107 million of outstanding letters of credit. With respect to our $415 million of uncommitted lines of credit, we had utilized $206 million for letters of credit as of March 31, 2021. The total remaining capacity of these committed and uncommitted lines of credit was approximately $842 million. Of the letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility, none have expiry dates beyond the maturity date of the Senior Credit Facility. Of the total letters of credit outstanding, $169 million relate to our joint venture operations where the letters of credit are posted using our capacity to support our pro-rata share of obligations under various contracts executed by joint ventures of which we are a member.
Nonrecourse Project Debt
Fasttrax Limited, a consolidated joint venture in which we indirectly own a 50% equity interest with an unrelated partner, was awarded a concession contract in 2001 with the U.K. MoD to provide a Heavy Equipment Transporter Service to the British Army. Fasttrax Limited operates and maintains 91 HETs for a term of 22 years. The purchase of the HETs by the joint venture was financed through two series of bonds secured by the assets of Fasttrax Limited and subordinated debt from the joint venture partners. The secured bonds are an obligation of Fasttrax Limited and are not a debt obligation of KBR as they are nonrecourse to the joint venture partners. Accordingly, in the event of a default on the notes, the lenders may only look to the assets of Fasttrax Limited for repayment.
The secured bonds were issued in two classes consisting of Class A 3.5% Index Linked Bonds in the amount of £56.0 million and Class B 5.9% Fixed Rate Bonds in the amount of £20.7 million. Semi-annual payments on both classes of bonds will continue through maturity in March 2021. The subordinated notes payable to each of the partners initially bear interest at 11.25% increasing to 16.00% over the term of the notes until maturity in 2025. For financial reporting purposes, only our partner's portion of the subordinated notes appears in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 11. Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was approximately 25% and 1% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, was primarily impacted by the rate differential on our foreign earnings including equity losses for which no tax benefit is available. The three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily impacted by impairment and restructuring charges incurred during the period. Excluding the tax impact of the non-deductible goodwill and asset impairment charges, our tax rate was 26% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Our estimated annual effective rate for 2021 is 25% excluding the effects of discrete items. Our estimated annual effective rate is subject to change based on the actual jurisdictions where our 2021 earnings are generated.
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $219 million and $220 million, respectively. The decrease of $1 million and $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was due to the reversal of certain valuation allowances related to the utilization of foreign tax credits during these periods resulting from changes in the amount and character of forecasted income. The remaining valuation allowance is primarily related to foreign tax credit carryforwards and foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards that, in the judgment of management, are not more likely than not to be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income, in the appropriate character and source, during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or within the remaining carryforward period. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment.
The utilization of the unreserved foreign tax credit carryforwards is based on our ability to generate income from foreign sources of approximately $681 million prior to their expiration. The utilization of other net deferred tax assets, excluding those associated with indefinite-lived intangible assets, is based on our ability to generate U.S. forecasted taxable income of approximately $600 million. Changes in our forecasted taxable income, in the appropriate character and source, as well as jurisdiction, could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets.
The provision for uncertain tax positions included in "Other liabilities" and "Deferred income taxes" on our condensed consolidated balance sheets was $96 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Note 12. Claims and Accounts Receivable
Our claims and accounts receivable balance not expected to be collected within the next 12 months was $31 million and $30 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Claims and accounts receivable primarily reflect claims filed with the U.S. government related to payments not yet received for costs incurred under various U.S. government cost reimbursable contracts within our GS business segment. These claims relate to disputed costs or contracts where our costs have exceeded the U.S. government's funded value on the task order and included in the amount is $1 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The remaining assets and liabilities associated with the previously issued Form 1s issued by the U.S. government questioning or objecting costs billed to them are immaterial to our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 as a result of an unfavorable FKTC containers claim ruling. See Note 13 "U.S. Government Matters" for additional information. The amount also includes $30 million and $29 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, related to contracts where our reimbursable costs have exceeded the U.S. government's funded values on the underlying task orders or task orders where the U.S. government has not authorized us to bill. We believe the remaining disputed costs will be resolved in our favor, at which time the U.S. government will be required to obligate funds from appropriations for the year in which resolution occurs.
Note 13. U.S. Government Matters
We provide services to various U.S. governmental agencies, including the U.S. DoD, NASA, and the Department of State. We may have disagreements or experience performance issues on our U.S. government contracts. When performance issues arise under any of these contracts, the U.S. government retains the right to pursue various remedies, including challenges to expenditures, suspension of payments, fines and suspensions or debarment from future business with the U.S. government. The negotiation, administration and settlement of our contracts are subject to audit by the DCAA. The DCAA serves in an advisory role to the DCMA, which is responsible for the administration of the majority of our contracts. The scope of these audits includes, among other things, the validity of direct and indirect incurred costs, provisional approval of annual billing rates, approval of annual overhead rates, compliance with the FAR and CAS, compliance with certain unique contract clauses and audits of certain aspects of our internal control systems. Based on the information received to date, we do not believe any completed or ongoing government audits will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Legacy U.S. Government Matters
Between 2002 and 2011, we provided significant support to the U.S. Army and other U.S. government agencies in support of the war in Iraq under the LogCAP III contract. We have been in the process of closing out the LogCAP III contract since 2011, and we expect the contract closeout process to continue for at least another year. As a result of our work under LogCAP III, there are claims and disputes pending between us and the U.S. government which need to be resolved in order to close the contract. The contract closeout process includes resolving objections raised by the U.S. government through a billing dispute process referred to as Form 1s and MFRs. We continue to work with the U.S. government to resolve these issues and are engaged in efforts to reach mutually acceptable resolution of these outstanding matters. However, for certain of these matters, we have filed claims with the ASBCA or the COFC. We also have matters related to ongoing litigation or investigations involving U.S. government contracts. We anticipate billing additional labor, vendor resolution and litigation costs as we resolve the open matters in the future.
The Company established a reserve for unallowable costs associated with open government matters related to the heritage KBR U.S. Government Services business in the amounts of $33 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and are recorded in “Other liabilities.”
Investigations, Qui Tams and Litigation
The following matters relate to ongoing litigation or federal investigations involving U.S. government contracts. Many of these matters involve allegations of violations of the FCA, which prohibits in general terms fraudulent billings to the U.S. government. Suits brought by private individuals are called "qui tams." We believe the costs of litigation and any damages that may be awarded in the FKTC matters described below are billable under the LogCAP III. All costs billed under LogCAP III are subject to audit by the DCAA for reasonableness.
First Kuwaiti Trading Company arbitration. In April 2008, FKTC, one of our LogCAP III subcontractors providing housing containers, filed for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association all its claims under various LogCAP III subcontracts. After complete hearings on all claims, the arbitration panel awarded FKTC $17 million plus interest for claims involving damages on lost or unreturned vehicles. In addition, we determined that we owe FKTC $32 million in connection
with other subcontracts provided we are reimbursed for these same costs by the U.S. government. We lost our claims against the government as referenced below and have exercised our offset or clawback rights as against FKTC in the arbitration. FKTC does not agree with our right of offset and a final hearing will be needed to resolve this issue and our other counterclaims against FKTC. No dates have been set for the final hearing on these matters. Management accrued an amount that it feels is adequate to cover either liability as determined by the panel or a negotiated settlement with FKTC on this matter.
Howard qui tam. In March 2011, Geoffrey Howard and Zella Hemphill filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois alleging that KBR mischarged the government $628 million for unnecessary materials and equipment. In October 2014, the DOJ declined to intervene and the case was partially unsealed. Depositions of some DCMA and KBR personnel have taken place and more were expected to occur in early 2020 but have been postponed due to COVID-19. KBR and the relators filed various motions including a motion to dismiss by KBR. Although KBR's motion to dismiss was not granted, it remains an option on appeal. The deadline for all fact discovery and depositions has been extended due to COVID-19 travel restrictions and related delays and discovery continues. We believe the allegations of fraud by the relators are without merit and, as of March 31, 2021, no amounts have been accrued.
DOJ False Claims Act complaint - Iraq Subcontractor. In January 2014, the DOJ filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois against KBR and two former KBR subcontractors, including FKTC, alleging that three former KBR employees were offered and accepted kickbacks from these subcontractors in exchange for favorable treatment in the award and performance of subcontracts to be awarded during the course of KBR's performance of the LogCAP III contract in Iraq. The complaint alleges that as a result of the kickbacks, KBR submitted invoices with inflated or unjustified subcontract prices, resulting in alleged violations of the FCA and the Anti-Kickback Act. The DOJ's investigation dates back to 2004. We self-reported most of the violations and tendered credits to the U.S. government as appropriate. On May 22, 2014, FKTC filed a motion to dismiss, which the U.S. government opposed. Following the submission of our answer in April 2014, the U.S. government was granted a Motion to Strike certain affirmative defenses in March 2015. We do not believe this limits KBR's ability to fully defend all allegations in this matter.
Discovery for this complaint is now mostly complete. On March 30, 2020, the Court granted KBR’s motion to transfer the case to the Southern District of Texas and the court recently ruled on various discovery motions allowing one additional deposition to take place. KBR and the U.S government have filed various dispositive motions which remained under consideration by the Court for an extended period. In March 2021, while granting some of KBR’s motions for summary judgment, the court also concluded that we breached the FCA as a matter of law as to several subcontracts. We have filed for two motions for reconsideration, one addressing the ruling on KBR’s motion for summary judgment and one addressing the U.S. government’s motion. As of March 31, 2021, we have accrued our best estimate of probable loss related to an unfavorable settlement of this matter in "Other liabilities" on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Other matters
KBR Contract Claim on FKTC containers. KBR previously filed a claim before the ASBCA to recover the costs paid to FKTC to settle its requests for equitable adjustment. The DCMA had disallowed the majority of those costs. Those contract claims were stayed in 2013 at the request of the DOJ so that they could pursue the FCA case referenced above. Those claims were reinstated in 2016. We tried our contract appeal in September 2017. In November 2018, we received an unfavorable ruling from the ASBCA disallowing all of our costs paid to FKTC. KBR's motion for reconsideration by a senior panel of judges at the ASBCA was denied. KBR filed its brief on appeal in September 2019. Oral arguments occurred in May 2020 and a decision was issued on September 1, 2020. Although the court agreed with KBR that the wrong legal standard was applied by the trial court, the appellate court made its own fact findings on damages based on an incomplete record and denied KBR any recovery. KBR filed a motion for rehearing which was denied and therefore the dispute with the U.S. government has concluded. As of March 31, 2021, we believe our recorded accruals are adequate to resolve this matter.
Note 14. Other Commitments and Contingencies
Unaoil Investigation. We previously disclosed that the DOJ, SEC, and the SFO had been conducting investigations of Unaoil, a Monaco based company, in relation to international projects involving several global companies, including KBR. As previously disclosed, the DOJ and SEC have informed us that their investigations with regard to KBR are closed. The SFO has now informed us that its investigation into KBR’s UK subsidiaries is also closed.
Chadian Employee Class Action. In May 2018, former employees of our former Chadian subsidiary, Subsahara Services, Inc. ("SSI"), filed a class action suit claiming unpaid damages arising from the ESSO Chad Development Project for Exxon Mobil Corporation ("Exxon") dating back to the early 2000s. Exxon is also named as a defendant in the case. The SSI employees previously filed two class action cases in or around 2005 and 2006 for alleged unpaid overtime and bonuses. The
Chadian Labour Court ruled in favor of the SSI employees for unpaid overtime resulting in a settlement of approximately $25 million which was reimbursed by Exxon under its contract with SSI. The second case for alleged unpaid bonuses was ultimately dismissed by the Supreme Court of Chad.
The current case claims $122 million in unpaid bonuses characterized as damages rather than employee bonuses to avoid the previous Chadian Supreme Court dismissal and a 5-year statute of limitations on wage-related claims. SSI’s initial defense was filed and a hearing was held in December 2018. A merits hearing was held in February 2019. In March 2019, the Labour Court issued a decision awarding the plaintiffs approximately $34 million including a $2 million provisional award. Exxon and SSI have appealed the award and requested suspension of the provisional award which was approved on April 2, 2019. Exxon and SSI filed a submission to the Court of Appeal on June 21, 2019 and filed briefs at a hearing on February 28, 2020. The plaintiffs failed to file a response on March 13, 2020 and a hearing was scheduled for April 17, 2020. The hearing was postponed due to COVID-19 but took place on September 18, 2020. On October 9, 2020 the appellate court of Moundou awarded the plaintiffs approximately $19 million. SSI filed an appeal of this decision to the Chadian Supreme Court on December 28, 2020. SSI’s request for suspension on the enforceability of the award from the Chadian Supreme Court was granted on January 4, 2021 and therefore there is no current risk of enforcement of the judgment.
At this time, we do not believe a risk of material loss is probable related to this matter. SSI is no longer an existing entity in Chad or the United States. Further, we believe any amounts ultimately paid to the former employees related to this adverse ruling would be reimbursable by Exxon based on the applicable contract.
North West Rail Link Project. We participate in an unincorporated joint venture with two partners to provide engineering and design services in relation to the operations, trains and systems of a metro rail project in Sydney, Australia. The project commenced in 2014 and during its execution encountered delays and disputes resulting in claims and breach notices submitted to the joint venture by the client. Since November 2018, the client has submitted multiple claims alleging breach of contract and breach of duty by the joint venture in its execution of the services, claiming losses and damages of up to approximately $300 million Australian dollars. We currently believe the gross amount of the claims significantly exceeds the client’s entitlement as well as the joint venture’s limits of liability under the contract and that the claims will be covered by project-specific professional indemnity insurance subject to deductibles.
In August 2019, the client advised that it has filed legal proceedings in the Supreme Court of New South Wales to preserve its position with regards to statute of limitations. The joint venture was served a notice of proceedings in November 2019 and an initial hearing was expected to occur in April 2020 but was postponed. The client submitted an amended statement on May 28, 2020 claiming damages of $301 million Australian dollars but did not provide any detail to support that sum. KBR has a 33% participation interest in the joint venture and the partners have joint and several liability with respect to all obligations under the contract. As of March 31, 2021, we have reserved an amount that is immaterial for this matter. However, it is reasonably possible that we may ultimately be required to pay material amounts in excess of reserves. At this time, fact discovery and expert review are still ongoing. Additionally, we have not received substantiation of the client’s alleged damages and therefore, a more precise estimate cannot be made at this time. The joint venture, joint venture insurers, and client are engaged in discussions concerning potential resolution of the claims.

Note 16. Share Repurchases
Authorized Share Repurchase Program
On February 25, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a plan to repurchase up to $350 million of our outstanding shares of common stock, which replaced and terminated the August 26, 2011 share repurchase program. As of December 31, 2019, $160 million remained available under this authorization. On February 19, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized an increase of approximately $190 million to our share repurchase program, returning the authorization level to $350 million. As of March 31, 2021, $303 million remains available for repurchase under this authorization. The authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular number of shares of common stock and may be commenced, suspended or discontinued without prior notice. The share repurchases are intended to be funded through the Company's current and future cash flows and the authorization does not have an expiration date.
Withheld to Cover Program
We have in place a "withheld to cover" program, which allows us to withhold common shares from employees in connection with the settlement of income tax and related benefit withholding obligations arising from the issuance of share-based equity awards under the KBR, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan.
The table below presents information on our share repurchases activity under this program:

Note 17. Income (loss) per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive income (loss) per share includes additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares with a dilutive effect had been issued using the treasury stock method.
A reconciliation of the number of shares used for the basic and diluted income per share calculations is as follows:

For purposes of applying the two-class method in computing income (loss) per share, there was $0.3 million net earnings allocated to participating securities, or a negligible amount per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021. There was no net earnings allocated to participating securities for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The diluted income (loss) per share calculation did not include 0.4 million and 1.1 million antidilutive weighted average shares for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Note 18. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Risk Management
Fair value measurements. The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or inputs derived from observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The carrying amount of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, as reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying values and estimated fair values of our financial instruments that are not required to be recorded at fair value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets are provided in the following table.

The following disclosures for foreign currency risk and interest rate risk includes the fair value hierarchy levels for our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Foreign currency risk. We conduct business globally in numerous currencies and are therefore exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. We may use derivative instruments to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not use derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes. We generally utilize foreign exchange forwards and currency option contracts to hedge exposures associated with forecasted future cash flows and to hedge exposures present on our balance sheet.
As of March 31, 2021, the gross notional value of our foreign currency exchange forwards and option contracts used to hedge balance sheet exposures was $91 million, all of which had durations of 16 days or less. We also had approximately
$3 million (gross notional value) of cash flow hedges which had durations of 4 months or less. The cash flow hedges are primarily related to the British Pound.
The fair value of our balance sheet and cash flow hedges included in "Other current assets" and "Other current liabilities" on our condensed consolidated balance sheets was immaterial at March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020. The fair values of these derivatives are considered Level 2 under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, as they are based on quoted prices directly observable in active markets.
The following table summarizes the recognized changes in fair value of our balance sheet hedges offset by remeasurement of balance sheet positions. These amounts are recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented. The net of our changes in fair value of hedges and the remeasurement of our assets and liabilities is included in "Other non-operating income (expense)" on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Interest rate risk. We use interest rate swaps to reduce interest rate risk and to manage net interest expense by converting our LIBOR-rate based loans into fixed-rate loans. In October 2018, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of $500 million, which are effective beginning October 2018 and mature in September 2022. Under the October 2018 swap agreements, we receive a one-month LIBOR rate and pay a monthly fixed rate of 3.055% for the term of the swaps. In March 2020, we entered into additional swap agreements with a notional value of $400 million, which are effective beginning October 2022 and mature in January 2027. Under the March 2020 swap agreements, we will receive a one-month LIBOR rate and pay a monthly fixed rate of 0.965% for the term of the swaps. Our interest rate swaps are reported at fair value using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the interest rate swaps at March 31, 2021 was a $14 million net liability, of which $15 million is included in "Other current liabilities," $7 million is included in "Other liabilities," and $8 million is included in "Other assets." The unrealized net losses on these interest rate swaps was $14 million and is included in "AOCL" as of March 31, 2021. The fair value of the interest rate swaps at December 31, 2020 was a $33 million liability, of which $15 million is included in "Other current liabilities" and $18 million is included in "Other liabilities." The unrealized net losses on these interest rate swaps was $33 million and included in "AOCL" as of December 31, 2020.
Credit Losses. We are exposed to credit losses primarily related to our professional services, project delivery, and technologies offered in our STS business segment. We do not consider our GS business segment to be at risk for credit losses because substantially all services within this segment are provided to agencies of the U.S., U.K. and Australian governments. We determined our allowance for credit losses by using a loss-rate methodology, in which we assessed our historical write-off of receivables against our total receivables and contract asset balances over several years. From this historical loss-rate approach, we also considered the current and forecasted economic conditions expected to be in place over the life of our receivables and contract assets.
We monitor our ongoing credit exposure through an active review of our customers’ receivables balance against contract terms and due dates. Our activities include timely performance of our accounts receivable reconciliations, assessment of our aging of receivables, dispute resolution and payment confirmation. We also monitor any change in our historical write-off of receivables utilized in our loss-rate methodology and assess for any forecasted change in market conditions to adjust our credit reserve.
At March 31, 2021, our STS business segment that is subject to credit risk reported approximately $312 million of financial assets consisting primarily of accounts receivable and contract assets, net of allowances of $14 million. Although there continues to be an economic disruption resulting from the impact of COVID-19, changes in our credit loss reserve was not material for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Based on an aging analysis at March 31, 2021, 84% of our accounts receivable related to this segment were outstanding for less than 90 days.
Sales of Receivables. From time to time, we sell certain receivables to unrelated third-party financial institutions under various accounts receivable monetization programs. One such program is with MUFG Bank, Ltd. (“MUFG”) under a Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (the “RPA”), which provides the sale to MUFG of certain of our designated eligible receivables, with a significant portion of such receivables being owed by the U.S. government. The receivables sold under the agreements do not allow for recourse for any credit risk related to our customers if such receivables are not collected by the third-party financial institutions. The Company accounts for these receivable transfers as a sale under ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, as the receivables have been legally isolated from the Company, the financial institution has the right to pledge or exchange the assets received and we do not maintain effective control over the transferred accounts receivable. Our only continuing involvement with the transferred financial assets is as the collection and servicing agent. As a result, the accounts receivable balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets is presented net of the transferred amount. The Company has derecognized $602 million of accounts receivables from the balance sheet under these agreements, of which certain receivables totaling $594 million were sold under the MUFG RPA as of March 31, 2021. We did not factor any material receivables in the prior year. The fair value of the sold receivables approximated their book value due to their short-term nature. The fees incurred are presented in “Other non-operating (loss) income” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Activity for third-party financial institutions consisted of the following:

Note 19. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
New accounting pronouncements requiring implementation in future periods are discussed below.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of the Interbank Offered Rate Transition on Financial Reporting to provide optional relief from applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. In addition, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Scope, to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the future impact of adoption of this standard.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt-Debt Conversion and other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Equity's Own Equity. This guidance simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments. This guidance also eliminates the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings per share for certain convertible instruments and requires the use of the if-converted method. ASU 2020-06 is effective for us for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and for interim periods within those annual periods, and can be applied utilizing either a modified or full retrospective transition method. We are currently evaluating the future impact of adoption of this standard.

Additional information relating to the Centauri acquisition is described in Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Business Environment and Trends
Government Outlook
The fiscal 2021 and President Biden's proposed fiscal 2022 spending budgets prioritize a national security strategy that continues the restoration of military readiness, furthers a national security strategy to confront near peer threats around the world, enhances the DoD’s cybersecurity strategy and cyber warfare capabilities, increases the priority of military space superiority, and directs innovation to meet long-range emerging threats. The budget includes a number of measures to
strengthen emerging technologies including cyber-science and technologies, artificial intelligence, directed energy, hypersonics, and biotechnologies. The proposed fiscal 2022 national security budget outlines spending of $753 billion, a 1.6% increase over the fiscal 2021 amounts, and includes $715 billion for the Department of Defense. President Biden’s fiscal 2022 non-defense discretionary spending proposal includes a 16% increase in funding to solve some of the most pressing challenges the nation faces, including the pandemic, climate change and racial inequity. Additionally, the budget request includes a 6.5% increase in funding for NASA to support the continuation of scientific research and exploration as well as increased funding across all agencies to tackle climate change.
Furthermore, President Biden's proposed infrastructure plan, the American Jobs Plan, calls for meaningful investment in research and development on emerging technologies expected to define the coming decades and drive military innovation in areas such as quantum computing, artificial intelligence and microelectronics. Additionally, the plan seeks significant investment to secure the domestic supply chain for critical assets and components.
In Q2 2021, President Biden announced the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan by September 11, 2021. We believe the overall impact will not be material to our financial results in fiscal year 2021.
Internationally, our Government Solutions work is performed primarily for the U.K. Ministry of Defence and the Australian Department of Defence. The U.K. government was committed to spend £188 billion on defense over the coming four years, an increase of £24 billion or 14%. Recognizing the importance of strong defense and the role the U.K. plays across the globe, the U.K. has prioritized investment in military research and investment in key areas to advance and develop capabilities around artificial intelligence, cyber security and space superiority. The Australian government continues to increase defense spending, with particular focus on enhancing regional security, modernizing defense capabilities, strengthening cyber defenses and promoting broader economic stability.
With defense and civil budgets driven in part by political instability, military conflicts, aging platforms and infrastructure
and the need for technology advances, we expect continued opportunities to provide solutions and technologies to mission critical work aligned with our customers’ and our nation’s critical priorities.
Commercial Outlook
Long-range commercial market fundamentals are supported by global population growth, global expansion of the middle class, and acceleration of demand for energy transition and renewable energy sources for which momentum continues, even amidst COVID-19 disruptions. Clients continue to prioritize investment in solutions to increase end-product flexibility and energy efficiency and to reduce their environmental footprint. As companies continue to commit to near-term carbon neutrality and longer-range net-zero carbon emissions, we expect spending to continue in areas such as decarbonization; carbon capture, sequestration and utilization; biofuels; and circular economy. Further, leading companies across the world are proactively evaluating clean energy alternatives, including hydrogen and green ammonia which complements KBR's proprietary process technology and capabilities.
Our Business
KBR's business is organized into two core and one non-core business segments as follows:
Core business segments
• Government Solutions
• Sustainable Technology Solutions
Non-core business segment

Interest expense decreased slightly during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to lower weighted-average interest rates as a result of the refinancing of our Senior Credit Facility in February 2020 partially offset by increased expense associated with borrowings to finance the acquisition of Centauri. See Note 10 "Debt and Other Credit Facilities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to weakening of the U.S. Dollar during the quarter on certain intercompany liability positions denominated in foreign currencies.

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021, reflects a 25% tax rate as compared to a 1% tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The difference between the effective tax rate of 25% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the statutory rate was caused by the rate differential on our foreign earnings including equity losses for which no tax benefit is available. The effective tax rate of 1% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily impacted by non-deductible impairment and restructuring charges incurred during the period. Excluding the tax impact of the impairment and restructuring charges, our tax rate would have been 26% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. See Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on income taxes.

GS revenues increased by $182 million, or 19%, to $1.2 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $982 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by revenues of $132 million from Centauri acquired in October 2020 followed by continued growth and increased work in our Readiness & Sustainment, Defense & Intel, and Australian government businesses. These increases were partially offset by lower volume associated with the successful completion of non-recurring services on our Aspire program.
GS gross profit decreased by $13 million, or 10%, to $116 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $129 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by lower volume on the Aspire program, partially offset by gross profits from Centauri.
GS equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased by $2 million to $7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily driven by better performance of joint ventures in the U.K. and Australia.
Sustainable Technology Solutions
STS revenues decreased by $258 million, or 46%, to $297 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $555 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. STS gross profit decreased by $5 million, or 9%, to $52 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $57 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decreases in revenues and gross profit were primarily driven by the completion or near completion of low margin projects, following KBR's decisions to exit certain elements of the STS business in 2020.
STS equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased by $9 million to $5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to a $4 million loss in the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase is primarily due to a non-recurring favorable resolution of a matter and better performance driven by higher ammonia pricing in our joint ventures.
Backlog of Unfilled Orders
Backlog generally represents the dollar amount of revenues we expect to realize in the future as a result of performing work on contracts and our pro-rata share of work to be performed by unconsolidated joint ventures. We generally include total expected revenues in backlog when a contract is awarded under a legally binding agreement. In many instances, arrangements included in backlog are complex, nonrepetitive and may fluctuate over the contract period due to the release of contracted work in phases by the customer. Additionally, nearly all contracts allow customers to terminate the agreement at any time for convenience. Certain contracts provide maximum dollar limits, with actual authorization to perform work under the contract agreed upon on a periodic basis with the customer. In these arrangements, only the amounts authorized are included in backlog. For projects where we act solely in a project management capacity, we only include the expected value of our services in backlog.
We define backlog, as it relates to U.S. government contracts, as our estimate of the remaining future revenue from existing signed contracts over the remaining base contract performance period (including customer approved option periods) for which work scope and price have been agreed with the customer. We define funded backlog as the portion of backlog for which funding currently is appropriated, less the amount of revenue we have previously recognized. We define unfunded backlog as the total backlog less the funded backlog. Our GS backlog does not include any estimate of future potential delivery orders that might be awarded under our government-wide acquisition contracts, agency-specific indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts, or other multiple-award contract vehicles nor does it include option periods that have not been exercised by the customer.
Within our GS business segment, we calculate estimated backlog for long-term contracts associated with the U.K. government's PFIs based on the aggregate amount that our client would contractually be obligated to pay us over the life of the project. We update our estimates of the future work to be executed under these contracts on a quarterly basis and adjust backlog if necessary.
We have included in the table below our proportionate share of unconsolidated joint ventures' estimated backlog. Because these projects are accounted for under the equity method, only our share of future earnings from these projects will be recorded in our results of operations. Our proportionate share of backlog for projects related to unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $2.5 billion at March 31, 2021, and $2.4 billion at December 31, 2020. Our backlog included in the table below for projects related to consolidated joint ventures with noncontrolling interests includes 100% of the backlog associated with those joint ventures and totaled $49 million and $52 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
The following table summarizes our backlog by business segment as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively:

We estimate that as of March 31, 2021, 27% of our backlog will be executed within one year. Of this amount, 86% will be recognized in revenues on our condensed consolidated statement of operations and 14% will be recorded by our unconsolidated joint ventures. As of March 31, 2021, $82 million of our backlog relates to active contracts that are in a loss position.
As of March 31, 2021, 13% of our backlog was attributable to fixed-price contracts, 48% was attributable to PFIs, 28% was attributable to cost-reimbursable contracts, and 11% was attributable to time-and-materials contracts. For contracts that contain fixed-price, cost-reimbursable, and time-and-materials components, we classify the individual components as either fixed-price, cost-reimbursable, or time-and-materials according to the composition of the contract; however, for smaller contracts, we characterize the entire contract based on the predominant component. As of March 31, 2021, $9.4 billion of our GS backlog was currently funded by our customers.
As of March 31, 2021, we had approximately $4.7 billion of priced option periods for U.S. government contracts that are not included in the backlog amounts presented above.
The difference between backlog of $14.6 billion and the remaining performance obligation as defined by ASC 606 of $11.6 billion is primarily due to our proportionate share of backlog related to unconsolidated joint ventures which is not included in our remaining performance obligation. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for discussion of the remaining performance obligation.
Transactions with Joint Ventures
We perform many of our projects through incorporated and unincorporated joint ventures. In addition to participating as a joint venture partner, we often provide engineering, procurement, construction, operations or maintenance services to the joint venture as a subcontractor. Where we provide services to a joint venture that we control and therefore consolidate for financial reporting purposes, we eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses on such transactions. In situations where we account for our interest in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting, we do not eliminate any portion of our subcontractor revenues or expenses. We recognize the profit on our services provided to joint ventures that we consolidate and joint ventures that we record under the equity method of accounting primarily using the percentage-of-completion method. See Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information. The information discussed therein is incorporated by reference into this Part I, Item 2.
Legal Proceedings
Information relating to various commitments and contingencies is described in Notes 6, 13 and 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the information discussed therein is incorporated by reference into this Part I, Item 2.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is provided by available cash and equivalents, cash generated from operations, our Senior Credit Facility and access to financial markets. Our operating cash flow can vary significantly from year to year and is affected by the mix, terms,
timing and stage of completion of our projects. We often receive cash in the early phases of our larger fixed-price projects, technology projects, and those of our consolidated joint ventures in advance of incurring related costs. On reimbursable contracts, we may utilize cash on hand or availability under our Senior Credit Facility to satisfy any periodic operating cash requirements for working capital as we incur costs and subsequently invoice our customers.
STS services projects generally require us to provide credit support for our performance obligations to our customers in the form of letters of credit, surety bonds or guarantees. Our ability to obtain new project awards in the future may be dependent on our ability to maintain or increase our letter of credit and surety bonding capacity, which may be further dependent on the timely release of existing letters of credit and surety bonds. As the need for credit support arises, letters of credit will be issued under our $1 billion Revolver under our Senior Credit Facility. Letters of credit may also be arranged with our banks on a bilateral, syndicated or other basis.
As discussed in Note 10 "Debt and Other Credit Facilities" of our condensed consolidated financial statements, we amended our Senior Credit Facility on July 2, 2020 to consist of a $1 billion revolving credit facility ("Revolver"), a $275 million Loan A, ("Term Loan A") of which a portion is denominated in Australian dollars, and a $520 million Term Loan B ("Term Loan B"), with an aggregate capacity of $1.795 billion. The Revolver and Term Loan A mature in February 2025 and Term Loan B matures in February 2027. We believe that existing cash balances, internally generated cash flows, availability under our Senior Credit Facility and other lines of credit are sufficient to support our business operations for the next 12 months. As of March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all financial covenants related to our debt agreements.
Cash and equivalents totaled $445 million at March 31, 2021, and $436 million at December 31, 2020, and consisted of the following:

Our cash balances are held in numerous accounts throughout the world to fund our global activities. Domestic cash relates to cash balances held by U.S. entities and is largely used to support project activities of those businesses as well as general corporate needs such as the payment of dividends to shareholders, repayment of debt and potential repurchases of our outstanding common stock.
Our international cash balances may be available for general corporate purposes but are subject to local restrictions, such as capital adequacy requirements and maintaining sufficient cash balances to support our U.K. pension plan and other obligations incurred in the normal course of business by those foreign entities. Repatriations of our undistributed foreign earnings are generally free of U.S. tax but may incur withholding and/or state taxes. We consider our future U.S. and non-U.S. cash needs as 1) our anticipated foreign working capital requirements, including funding of our U.K. pension plan, 2) the expected growth opportunities across all geographical markets and 3) our plans to invest in strategic growth opportunities, which may include acquisitions around the world, including whether foreign earnings are permanently reinvested.
During the quarter ending March 31, 2021, we changed our permanent reinvestment assertion on the unremitted earnings, as well as all current and future earnings in a wholly owned subsidiary in India. We determined that the past unremitted earnings of $30 million$30 million is available for future repatriation for deployment in the U.S. Accordingly, we have recorded the income tax expense expected with the future repatriation in the quarter. In addition, we changed our permanent reinvestment assertion on all current and future earnings in our subsidiaries in Saudi Arabia. The income tax expense associated with the current and future earnings will be reflected in the interim and annual periods in which the earnings are generated.
Joint venture cash and Aspire Defence project cash balances reflect the amounts held by joint venture entities that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes. These amounts are limited to those entities' activities and are not readily available for general corporate purposes; however, portions of such amounts may become available to us in the future should there be a distribution of dividends to the joint venture partners. We expect that the majority of the joint venture cash balances will be utilized for the corresponding joint venture projects.
As of March 31, 2021, substantially all of our excess cash was held in commercial bank time deposits or interest bearing short-term investment accounts with the primary objectives of preserving capital and maintaining liquidity.

Operating Activities. Cash provided by operations totaled $50 million in the first three months of 2021 as compared to net income of $48 million. Cash flows from operating activities result primarily from earnings and are affected by changes in operating assets and liabilities which consist primarily of working capital balances for projects. Working capital levels vary from year to year and are primarily affected by the Company's volume of work. These levels are also impacted by the mix, stage of completion and commercial terms of projects. Working capital requirements also vary by project depending on the type of client and location throughout the world.
The primary components of our working capital accounts are accounts receivable, contract assets, accounts payable and contract liabilities. These components are impacted by the size and changes in the mix of our cost reimbursable, time-and-materials, and fixed price projects, and as a result, fluctuations in these components are not uncommon in our business.
Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities totaled $22 million in the first three months of 2021 and was primarily due to our acquisition of a technology license, our investment in a plastics recycling technology, and funding our proportionate share of JKC's ongoing legal and commercial costs. See Note 6 for further discussion of the legal and commercial costs.
Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities totaled $22 million in the first three months of 2021 and was primarily due to approximately $14 million of dividend payments to common shareholders, $4 million repayment on our finance lease obligations, $3 million in payments on borrowings related to our Senior Credit Facility. See Note 10 "Debt and Other Credit Facilities" for further discussion of our Senior Credit Facility.
Future sources of cash. We believe that future sources of cash include cash flows from operations (including accounts receivable monetization arrangements), cash derived from working capital management, and cash borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility.
Future uses of cash. We believe that future uses of cash include working capital requirements, joint venture capital calls, capital expenditures, dividends, pension funding obligations, repayments of borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility, share repurchases and strategic investments including acquisitions. Our capital expenditures will be focused primarily on facilities and equipment to support our businesses. In addition, we will use cash to make payments under leases and various other obligations, including potential litigation payments, as they arise.
Other factors potentially affecting liquidity
Ichthys LNG Project. In reference to Note 6 "Unapproved Change Orders, and Claims, Against Clients and Estimated Recoveries of Claims Against Suppliers and Subcontractors” to our condensed consolidated financial statements, JKC has included in its project estimates-at-completion significant revenues associated with unapproved change orders and claims against the client as well as estimated recoveries of claims against suppliers and subcontractors. The client has reserved their contractual rights on certain amounts previously funded to JKC and may seek recoveries of those amounts, including calling the performance and warranty letters of credit. In January 2021, the client demanded that JKC repay the Funding Deed amount and notified JKC of its intention to commence legal actions against JKC including claims on the parent company guarantees. JKC is opposing the client’s payment demand and believes that the client has not complied with the contract requirements to make these sums repayable. JKC believes the subcontractor settlement sums were properly incurred and represent reimbursable cost.
JKC incurred substantial costs to complete the power plant under the fixed-price portion of the Ichthys LNG contract. JKC believes these costs are recoverable from the Consortium who abandoned their contractual obligation to complete the power plant as the original subcontractor. We have initiated arbitrations and other legal proceedings to recover these costs which may take several years to resolve. As a result, we funded our proportionate share of JKC's capital requirements to complete the power plant as these legal proceedings progress.
We made investment contributions to JKC of approximately $484 million to fund our proportionate share of the project execution activities on an inception-to-date basis. We continue to fund our proportionate share of ongoing legal and commercial costs. JKC's obligations to the client are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the joint venture partners. Negotiations and legal proceedings with the client and the subcontractors are ongoing, the goal of which is to minimize these expected outflows. If we experience unfavorable outcomes associated with the various legal and commercial disputes, our total investment contributions could increase which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and cash flows.
As of March 31, 2021, we had $164 million in letters of credit outstanding in support of performance and warranty guarantees provided to the client.
U.K. pension obligation. We have recognized on our condensed consolidated balance sheet a funding deficit of $363 million (measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation as of September 30, 2020) for our frozen defined benefit pension plans. The total amount of employer pension contributions paid for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $11 million and primarily related to our defined benefit plan in the U.K. The funding requirements for our U.K. pension plan are determined based on the U.K. Pensions Act of 1995. Annual minimum funding requirements are based on a binding agreement with the trustees of the U.K. pension plan that is negotiated on a triennial basis which is slated to commence in 2021 and is required to be completed by April 2022. The current agreement calls for minimum annual contributions of £33 million ($46 million at current exchange rates) until the next valuation. In the future, pension funding may increase or decrease depending on changes in the levels of interest rates, pension plan asset return performance and other factors. A significant increase in our funding requirements for the U.K. pension plan could result in a material adverse impact on our financial position.
Credit Agreement and Senior Credit Facility
Information relating to our Senior Credit Facility is described in Note 10 "Debt and Other Credit Facilities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the information discussed therein is incorporated by reference into this Part I, Item 2.
Senior Notes
Information relating to our Senior Notes is described in Note 10 "Debt and Other Credit Facilities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the information discussed therein is incorporated by reference into this Part I, Item 2.
Convertible Senior Notes
Information relating to our Convertible Senior Notes is described in Note 10 "Debt and Other Credit Facilities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the information discussed therein is incorporated by reference into this Part I, Item 2.
Nonrecourse Project Debt
Information relating to our nonrecourse project debt is described in Note 10 "Debt and Other Credit Facilities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the information discussed therein is incorporated by reference into this Part I, Item 2.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees. In the ordinary course of business, we have entered into various arrangements providing financial or performance assurance to customers on behalf of certain consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries, joint ventures and other jointly executed contracts. Such off-balance sheet arrangements include letters of credit, surety bonds and corporate guarantees to support the creditworthiness or project execution commitments of these entities and
typically have various expiration dates ranging from mechanical completion of the project being constructed to a period beyond completion in certain circumstances such as for warranties. We have also guaranteed that certain projects, once completed, will achieve specified performance standards. If the project subsequently fails to meet guaranteed performance standards, we may incur additional costs, pay liquidated damages or be held responsible for the costs incurred by the client to achieve the required performance standards. The potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under an outstanding performance arrangement is typically the remaining estimated cost of work to be performed by or on behalf of third parties. For cost reimbursable contracts, amounts that may become payable pursuant to guarantee provisions are normally recoverable from the client for work performed under the contract. For lump-sum or fixed-price contracts, the performance guarantee amount is the cost to complete the contracted work, less amounts remaining to be billed to the client under the contract. Remaining billable amounts could be greater or less than the cost to complete the project. If costs exceed the remaining amounts payable under the contract, we may have recourse to third parties, such as owners, subcontractors or vendors for claims.
In our joint venture arrangements, the liability of each partner is usually joint and several. This means that each joint venture partner may become liable for the entire risk of performance guarantees provided by each partner to the customer. Typically each joint venture partner indemnifies the other partners for any liabilities incurred in excess of the liabilities the other party is obligated to bear under the respective joint venture agreement. We are unable to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under outstanding performance guarantees related to joint venture projects due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, the nature and extent of any contractual defaults by our joint venture partners, resource availability, potential performance delays caused by the defaults, the location of the projects, and the terms of the related contracts. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in Part I of our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding our fixed-price contracts and operations through joint ventures and partnerships.
In certain limited circumstances, we enter into financial guarantees in the ordinary course of business, with financial institutions and other credit grantors, which generally obligate us to make payment in the event of a default by the borrower. These arrangements generally require the borrower to pledge collateral to support the fulfillment of the borrower’s obligation. We account for both financial and performance guarantees at fair value at issuance in accordance with ASC 460-10 Guarantees and, as of March 31, 2021, we had no material guarantees of the work or obligations of third parties recorded.
We have committed and uncommitted lines of credit available to be used for letters of credit. As of March 31, 2021, our total capacity under these committed and uncommitted lines of credit was approximately $1.4 billion, of which $313 million had been utilized. Information relating to our letters of credit is described in Note 10 "Debt and Other Credit Facilities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the information discussed therein is incorporated by reference into this Part I, Item 2. Other than discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not engaged in any material off-balance sheet financing arrangements through special purpose entities.
On October 1, 2020, the Company borrowed $260 million on the Senior Credit Facility to fund the acquisition of Centauri. See Note 4 “Acquisitions.”

There have been no material changes to our discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates from those set forth in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2020, which discussion is incorporated herein by reference.
See Note 1 "Basis of Presentation" to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the potential impact of new accounting standards on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Cash and equivalents are deposited with major banks throughout the world. We invest excess cash and equivalents in short-term securities, primarily time deposits and money market funds, which carry a fixed rate of return. We have not incurred any credit risk losses related to deposits of our cash and equivalents.
Foreign Currency Risk. Because of the global nature of our business, we are exposed to market risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We have historically attempted to limit exposure to foreign currency fluctuations through provisions requiring the client to pay us in currencies corresponding to the currency in which cost is incurred. In addition to this natural hedge, we may use foreign exchange forward contracts and options to hedge material exposures when forecasted foreign currency revenues and costs are not denominated in the same currency and when efficient markets exist. These derivatives are generally designated as cash flow hedges and are carried at fair value. We do not enter into derivative
financial instruments for trading purposes or make speculative investments in foreign currencies. We recorded a net loss of $6 million and net gain of $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, in "Other non-operating income (expense)" on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The net loss of $6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 consisted primarily of unfavorable foreign currency movements on certain intercompany balance positions denominated in British Pounds and European Euros resulting in foreign currency loss of approximately $7 million, net of $1 million related to changes in the fair value of balance sheet hedges.
We use derivative instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts and options, to hedge foreign currency risk related to non-functional currency assets and liabilities on our balance sheet. Each period, these balance sheet hedges are marked to market through earnings and the change in their fair value is largely offset by remeasurement of the underlying assets and liabilities. The fair value of these derivatives was not material to our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021. Information relating to fair value measurements is described in Note 18 "Financial Instruments and Risk Management" to our condensed consolidated financial statements, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.
Interest Rate Risk. We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates for the Revolver and term loan borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility. We had $260 million of borrowings outstanding under the Revolver and $798 million outstanding under the term loan portions of the Senior Credit Facility as of March 31, 2021. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at variable rates as described in Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
We manage interest rate exposure by entering into interest rate swap agreements pursuant to which we agree to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated on an agreed-upon notional principal amount. In October 2018, we entered into interest rate swap agreements covering $500 million of notional value of our outstanding term loans. Under these swap agreements, we receive a one month LIBOR rate and pay an average monthly fixed rate of 3.055% for the term of the swaps that expire in September 2022. In March 2020, we entered into additional swap agreements covering notional value of $400 million of our outstanding loans which are effective beginning October 2022. Under these swap agreements, we will receive a one-month LIBOR rate and pay an average monthly fixed rate of 0.965% for the term of the swaps that expire in January 2027. The swap agreements were designated as cash flow hedges at inception in accordance with ASC Topic 815 Accounting for Derivative and Hedging Transactions. The total fair value of these derivative instruments was a net liability of approximately $14 million as of March 31, 2021.
At March 31, 2021, we had fixed rate debt aggregating $1.1 billion and variable rate debt aggregating $558 million, after taking into account the effects of the interest rate swaps. Our weighted average interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 3.74%. If interest rates were to increase by 50 basis points, pre-tax interest expense would increase by approximately $3 million in the next twelve months net of the impact from our swap agreements, based on outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2021.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2021, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

BENEFIT RESTORATION PLAN
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Halliburton Company (“Halliburton”) has previously adopted the Halliburton Company Benefit Restoration Plan, as most recently amended and restated effective January 1, 2004, for the benefit of its employees and the employees of its subsidiaries to aid such employees in making more adequate provision for their retirement; and
WHEREAS, Halliburton determined that it would be appropriate and desirable for Halliburton to separate the business and assets of KBR, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, from the business and assets of Halliburton and its other subsidiaries through an initial public offering of the common stock of the Company; and
WHEREAS, Halliburton plans to take action which will result in the Company and its subsidiaries ceasing to be a member of the Halliburton controlled group; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide benefits for certain of its new employees including certain current employees who had previously participated in the HAL Plan, as hereafter defined; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the HAL Plan, each Employer thereunder was liable for the benefits related to its employees, and the Company and the Employers hereunder desire to continue to provide to such employees an opportunity to make deferrals of certain amounts, consistent with the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the “Code”); and
WHEREAS, the provisions of the HAL Plan, as amended through the Effective Date, will remain in effect for all deferrals prior to the Effective Date; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to preserve the material terms of the HAL Plan as in effect on December 31, 2004 (the “Grandfathered Plan”) in order that the Grandfathered Plan qualify as a grandfathered plan for purposes of Section 409A of the Code; and
WHEREAS, certain provisions applicable solely to the Grandfathered Plan are preserved in Appendix A, for purposes of determining the terms applicable to amounts deferred under the Grandfathered Plan, which provisions shall be substituted for the corresponding provisions contained herein.
NOW THEREFORE, the HAL Plan, including the Grandfathered Plan, is hereby continued for Participants with the terms set forth below, and is hereby renamed the KBR Benefit Restoration Plan to read as follows, effective as of the Effective Date:

Purpose of the Plan
The purpose of the KBR Benefit Restoration Plan is to provide a vehicle to restore qualified plan benefits which are reduced as a result of limitations on contributions imposed under the Internal Revenue Code or due to participation in other company sponsored plans and to defer compensation that would otherwise be treated as excessive employee remuneration within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Administration of the Plan
(i)The Compensation Committee shall appoint a Committee to administer, construe and interpret the Plan. Such Committee, or such successor Committee as may be duly appointed by the Compensation Committee, shall serve at the pleasure of the Compensation Committee. Decisions of the Committee, with respect to any matter involving the Plan, shall be final and binding on the Company, its shareholders, each Employer and all officers and other executives of the Employers. For purposes of ERISA, the Committee shall be the Plan "administrator" and shall be the "named fiduciary" with respect to the general administration of the Plan.
(ii)The Committee shall maintain complete and adequate records pertaining to the Plan, including but not limited to Participants' Accounts, amounts transferred to the Trust, reports from the Trustee and all other records which shall be necessary or desirable in the proper administration of the Plan. The Committee shall furnish the Trustee such information as is required to be furnished by the Committee or the Company pursuant to the Trust Agreement.
(iii)The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee against any and all expenses and liabilities arising out of his or her administrative functions or fiduciary responsibilities, including any expenses and liabilities that are caused by or result from an act or omission constituting the negligence of such member in the performance of such functions or responsibilities, but excluding expenses and liabilities that are caused by or result from such member’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Expenses against which such member shall be indemnified hereunder shall include, without limitation, the amounts of any settlement or judgment, costs, counsel fees, and related charges reasonably incurred in connection with a claim asserted or a proceeding brought or settlement thereof.
(iv)The Committee may designate any Subsidiary as an Employer by written instrument delivered to the Secretary of the Company and the designated Employer. Such written instrument shall specify the effective date of such designated participation, may incorporate specific provisions relating to the operation of the Plan which apply to the designated Employer only and shall become, as to such designated Employer and its employees, a part of the Plan. Each designated Employer shall be conclusively presumed to have consented to its designation and to have agreed to be bound by the terms of the Plan and any and all amendments thereto
upon its submission of information to the Committee required by the terms of or with respect to the Plan; provided, however, that the terms of the Plan may be modified so as to increase the obligations of an Employer only with the consent of such Employer, which consent shall be conclusively presumed to have been given by such Employer upon its submission of any information to the Committee required by the terms of or with respect to the Plan. Except as modified by the Committee in its written instrument, the provisions of this Plan shall be applicable with respect to each Employer separately, and amounts payable hereunder shall be paid by the Employer which employs the particular Participant, if not paid from the Trust Fund.
(v)No member of the Committee shall have any right to vote or decide upon any matter relating solely to himself or herself under the Plan or to vote in any case in which his or her individual right to claim any benefit under the Plan is particularly involved. In any case in which an Committee member is so disqualified to act and the remaining members cannot agree, the Compensation Committee shall appoint a temporary substitute member to exercise all the powers of the disqualified member concerning the matter in which he or she is disqualified.
ARTICLE IV.
Allocations Under the Plan;
Participation in Plan; Selection for Awards
(i)The Committee shall determine for each Allocation Year which Participants' allocations of Employer contributions (other than matching contributions) under qualified defined contribution plans sponsored by the Employers have been reduced for such Allocation Year by reason of the application of Section 401 (a)(17) or Section 415 of the Code, or any combination of such Sections, or by reason of elective deferrals under the KBR Elective Deferral Plan, and shall allocate to the credit of each such Participant under the Plan an amount equal to the amount of such reductions applicable to such Participant. In addition, the Committee shall allocate to the credit of each Participant under the Plan the amount of Employer matching contributions that would have been allocated to such Participant’s account under Employer’s qualified defined contribution plan with respect to (i) the amount of such Participant's compensation (as such term is defined in Employer’s qualified defined contribution plan) deferred under the KBR Elective Deferral Plan for such Allocation Year and (ii) the amount of such compensation not so deferred that is in excess of the compensation limit under Section 401 (a)(17) of the Code for such Allocation Year.
(ii)Allocations to Participants under the Plan shall be made by crediting their respective Account on the books of their Employers as of the last day of the Allocation Year. Accounts of Participants shall also be credited with interest as of the last day of each Allocation Year, at the rate set forth in Paragraph (C) below, on the average monthly credit balance of the Account being calculated by using the balance of each Account on the first day of each month. Prior to Termination of Service, the annual interest shall accumulate as a part of the Account balance. After Termination of Service, the annual interest for such Allocation Year shall be paid as more particularly set forth hereinafter in Article VII, Paragraph (D).
(iii)Interest shall be credited on amounts allocated to Participants' Account at the rate of 10% per annum.
ARTICLE V.
Non-Assignability of Awards
No Participant shall have any right to commute, encumber, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of or alienate any present or future right or expectancy which he or she may have at any time to receive payments of any allocations made to such Participant, all such allocations being expressly hereby made non-assignable and non-transferable; provided, however, that nothing in the Article shall prevent transfer (A) by will, (B) by the applicable laws of descent and distribution or (C) pursuant to an order that satisfies the requirements for a "qualified domestic relations order" as such term is defined in section 206(d)(3)(B) of the ERISA and section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Code, including an order that requires distributions to an alternate payee prior to a Participant's "earliest retirement age" as such term is defined in section 206(d)(3)(E)(ii) of the ERISA and section 414(p)(4)(B) of the Code. Attempts to transfer or assign by a Participant (other than in accordance with the preceding sentence) shall, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee after consideration of such facts as it deems pertinent, be grounds for terminating any rights of such Participant to any awards allocated to but not previously paid over to such Participant.
ARTICLE VI.
Vesting
All amounts credited to a Participant’s Account shall be fully vested and not subject to forfeiture for any reason except as provided in Article V.
ARTICLE VII.
Distribution of Awards
(i)Upon Termination of Service of a Participant the Committee (i) shall certify to the Trustee or the treasurer of the Employer, as applicable, the amount credited to the Participant's Account on the books of each Employer for which the Participant was employed at a time when he or she earned an award hereunder, and (ii) shall determine whether the payment of the amount credited to the Participant's Account under the Plan is to be paid directly by the applicable Employer, from the Trust Fund, if any, or by a combination of such sources (except to the extent the provisions of the Trust Agreement if any, specify payment from the Trust Fund).
(ii)Any amount payable under Paragraph (A) above shall be paid in a single lump sum payment upon Termination of Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, any payment payable as a result of the Participant’s Termination of Service (other than death or disability (as defined under Section 409A of the Code)) shall not be payable before the earlier of (i) the date
that is six months after the Participant’s Termination of Service, (ii) the date of the Employee’s death, or (iii) the date that otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 409A. For purposes of the Plan, a Participant shall be a “specified employee” for the twelve-month period beginning on April 1 of a Plan Year if the Participant is a “key employee” as defined in Section 416(i) of the Code (without regard to Section 416(i)(5) of the Code) as of December 31 of the preceding Plan Year.
(iii)The Trustee or the treasurer of the Employer, as applicable, shall make payment of awards in the manner required by Paragraph (B) above, subject to all of the other terms and conditions of this Plan and the Trust Agreement, if any. This Plan shall be deemed to authorize the payment of all or any portion of a Participant’s award from the Trust Fund, to the extent such payment is required by the provisions of the Trust Agreement, if any.
(iv)Interest on any payment to be paid to a specified employee under Paragraph (B) above that is delayed because of Section 409A shall be paid with the final payment. In such case, the interest is accrued on an annual basis, and the “specified employee” will be entitled to the prorated portion of such annual interest, as calculated up until the actual date of payout pursuant to this Paragraph.
(v)If a Participant shall die while in the service of an Employer, or after Termination of Service and prior to the time when all amounts payable to him or her under the Plan have been paid to such Participant, any remaining amounts payable to the Participant hereunder shall be payable to the estate of the Participant. The Committee shall cause the Trustee or the treasurer of the Employer, as applicable, to pay to the estate of the Participant all of the benefits then standing to his or her credit in a lump sum.
(vi)If the Plan is terminated pursuant to the provisions of Article X, the Compensation Committee may, at its election and in its sole discretion, cause the Trustee or the treasurer of the Employer, as applicable, to pay to all Participants all of the awards then standing to their credit in the form of lump sum payments, provided such distribution is in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A.
ARTICLE VIII.
Nature of Plan
This Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Employers to make benefit payments in the future and Participants have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Employers. Further, the adoption of this Plan and any setting aside of amounts by the Employers with which to discharge their obligations hereunder shall not be deemed to create a trust; legal and equitable title to any funds so set aside shall remain in the Employers, and any recipient of benefits hereunder shall have no security or other interest in such funds. Any and all funds so set aside shall remain subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Employers, present and future. This provision shall not require the Employers to set aside any funds, but the Employers may set aside such funds if they choose to do so.
ARTICLE IX.
Funding of Obligation
Article VIII above to the contrary notwithstanding, the Employers may fund all or part of their obligations hereunder by transferring assets to a domestic trust if the provisions of the trust agreement creating the Trust require the use of the Trust’s assets to satisfy claims of an Employer’s general unsecured creditors in the event of such Employer’s insolvency and provide that no Participant shall at any time have a prior claim to such assets. Any transfers of assets to a trust may be made by each Employer individually or by the Company on behalf of all Employers. The assets of the Trust shall not be deemed to be assets of this Plan.
ARTICLE X.
Amendment or Termination of Plan
The Compensation Committee shall have the power and right from time to time to modify, amend, supplement, suspend or terminate the Plan as it applies to each Employer, provided that no such change in the Plan may deprive a Participant of the amounts allocated to his or her Account or be retroactive in effect to the prejudice of any Participant and the interest rate applicable to amounts credited to Participants’ Accounts for periods subsequent to Termination of Service shall not be reduced below 6% per annum. Any such modification, amendment, supplement, suspension or termination shall be in writing and signed by a member of the Compensation Committee.
ARTICLE XI.
General Provisions
(i)No Participant shall have any preference over the general creditors of an Employer in the event of such Employer’s insolvency.
(ii)Nothing contained herein shall be construed to give any person the right to be retained in the employ of an Employer or to interfere with the right of an Employer to terminate the employment of any person at any time.
(iii)If the Committee receives evidence satisfactory to it that any person entitled to receive a payment hereunder is, at the time the benefit is payable, physically, mentally or legally incompetent to receive such payment and to give a valid receipt therefor, and that an individual or institution is then maintaining or has custody of such person and that no guardian, committee or other representative of the estate of such person has been duly appointed, the Committee may direct that such payment thereof be paid to such individual or institution maintaining or having custody of such person, and the receipt of such individual or institution shall be valid and a complete discharge for the payment of such benefit.
(iv)Payments to be made hereunder may, at the written request of the Participant, be made to a bank account designated by such Participant, provided that deposits to the credit of such Participant in any bank or trust company shall be deemed payment into his or her hands.
(v)Wherever any words are used herein in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, they shall be construed as though they were also used in another gender in all cases where they would so apply, and whenever any words are used herein in the singular or plural form, they shall be construed as though they were also used in the other form in all cases where they would so apply.
(vi)THIS PLAN SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW.
(vii)It is intended that the provisions of this Plan satisfy the requirements of Section 409A and that the Plan be operated in a manner consistent with such requirements to the extent applicable.

Decisions of the Committee, with respect to any matter involving the Plan, shall be final and binding on the Company, its shareholders, each Employer and all officers and other executives of the Employers.

Such written instrument shall specify the effective date of such designated participation, may incorporate specific provisions relating to the operation of the Plan which apply to the designated Employer only and shall become, as to such designated Employer and its employees, a part of the Plan.

upon its submission of information to the Committee required by the terms of or with respect to the Plan; provided, however, that the terms of the Plan may be modified so as to materially increase the obligations of an Employer only with the consent of such Employer, which consent shall be conclusively presumed to have been given by such Employer upon its submission of any information to the Committee required by the terms of or with respect to the Plan. Except as modified by the Committee in its written instrument, the provisions of this Plan shall be applicable with respect to each Employer separately, and amounts payable hereunder shall be paid by the Employer which employs the particular Participant, if not paid from the Trust Fund.
(v)No member of the Committee shall have any right to vote or decide upon any matter relating solely to himself or herself under the Plan or to vote in any case in which his or her individual right to claim any benefit under the Plan is particularly involved. In any case in which a Committee member is so disqualified to act and the remaining members cannot agree, the Compensation Committee shall appoint a temporary substitute member to exercise all the powers of the disqualified member concerning the matter in which he or she is disqualified.
ARTICLE IV.
Allocations Under the Plan;
Participation in Plan; Selection for Awards
(i)The Committee shall determine for each Allocation Year which Participants' allocations of Employer contributions (other than matching contributions) under qualified defined contribution plans sponsored by the Employers have been reduced for such Allocation Year by reason of the application of Section 401 (a)(17) or Section 415 of the Code, or any combination of such Sections, or by reason of elective deferrals under the KBR Elective Deferral Plan, and shall allocate to the credit of each such Participant under the Plan an amount equal to the amount of such reductions applicable to such Participant. In addition, the Committee shall allocate to the credit of each Participant under the Plan the amount of Employer matching contributions that would have been allocated to such Participant’s account under Employer’s qualified defined contribution plan with respect to (i) the amount of such Participant's compensation (as such term is defined in Employer’s qualified defined contribution plan) deferred under the KBR Elective Deferral Plan for such Allocation Year and (ii) the amount of such compensation not so deferred that is in excess of the compensation limit under Section 401 (a)(17) of the Code for such Allocation Year.
(ii)Allocations to Participants under the Plan shall be made by crediting their respective Account on the books of their Employers as of the last day of the Allocation Year. Accounts of Participants shall also be credited with interest as of the last day of each Allocation Year, at the rate set forth in Paragraph (C) below, on the average monthly credit balance of the Account being calculated by using the balance of each Account on the first day of each month. Prior to Termination of Service, the annual interest shall accumulate as a part of the Account balance. After Termination of Service, the annual interest for such Allocation Year shall be paid as more particularly set forth hereinafter in Article VII, Paragraph (D).
(iii)Interest shall be credited on amounts allocated to Participants' Account at the rate of 10% per annum.
ARTICLE V.
Non-Assignability of Awards
No Participant shall have any right to commute, encumber, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of or alienate any present or future right or expectancy which he or she may have at any time to receive payments of any allocations made to such Participant, all such allocations being expressly hereby made non-assignable and non-transferable; provided, however, that nothing in the Article shall prevent transfer (A) by will, (B) by the applicable laws of descent and distribution or (C) pursuant to an order that satisfies the requirements for a "qualified domestic relations order" as such term is defined in section 206(d)(3)(B) of the ERISA and section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Code, including an order that requires distributions to an alternate payee prior to a Participant's "earliest retirement age" as such term is defined in section 206(d)(3)(E)(ii) of the ERISA and section 414(p)(4)(B) of the Code. Attempts to transfer or assign by a Participant (other than in accordance with the preceding sentence) shall, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee after consideration of such facts as it deems pertinent, be grounds for terminating any rights of such Participant to any awards allocated to but not previously paid over to such Participant.
ARTICLE VI.
Vesting
All amounts credited to a Participant’s Account shall be fully vested and not subject to forfeiture for any reason except as provided in Article V.
ARTICLE VII.
Distribution of Awards
(i)Upon Termination of Service of a Participant the Committee (i) shall certify to the Trustee or the treasurer of the Employer, as applicable, the amount credited to the Participant's Account on the books of each Employer for which the Participant was employed at a time when he or she earned an award hereunder, and (ii) shall determine whether the payment of the amount credited to the Participant's Account under the Plan is to be paid directly by the applicable Employer, from the Trust Fund, if any, or by a combination of such sources (except to the extent the provisions of the Trust Agreement if any, specify payment from the Trust Fund).
(ii)Any amount payable under Paragraph (A) above shall be paid in a single lump sum payment upon Termination of Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of the Plan, all Participants shall be “specified employees” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and any payments payable as a result of the Participant’s Termination of Service (other than death or disability (as defined under Section 409A of the
Code)) shall not be payable before the earlier of (i) the date that is six months after the Participant’s Termination of Service, (ii) the date of the Employee’s death, or (iii) the date that otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 409A.
(iii)The Trustee or the treasurer of the Employer, as applicable, shall make payment of awards in the manner required by Paragraph (B) above, subject to all of the other terms and conditions of this Plan and the Trust Agreement, if any. This Plan shall be deemed to authorize the payment of all or any portion of a Participant’s award from the Trust Fund, to the extent such payment is required by the provisions of the Trust Agreement, if any.
(iv)Interest on any payment to be paid to a specified employee under Paragraph (B) above that is delayed because of Section 409A shall be paid with the final payment. In such case, the interest is accrued on an annual basis, and the “specified employee” will be entitled to the prorated portion of such annual interest, as calculated up until the actual date of payout pursuant to this Paragraph.
(v)If a Participant shall die while in the service of an Employer, or after Termination of Service and prior to the time when all amounts payable to him or her under the Plan have been paid to such Participant, any remaining amounts payable to the Participant hereunder shall be payable to the estate of the Participant. The Committee shall cause the Trustee or the treasurer of the Employer, as applicable, to pay to the estate of the Participant all of the benefits then standing to his or her credit in a lump sum.
ARTICLE VIII.
Nature of Plan
This Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Employers to make benefit payments in the future and Participants have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Employers. Further, the adoption of this Plan and any setting aside of amounts by the Employers with which to discharge their obligations hereunder shall not be deemed to create a trust; legal and equitable title to any funds so set aside shall remain in the Employers, and any recipient of benefits hereunder shall have no security or other interest in such funds. Any and all funds so set aside shall remain subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Employers, present and future. This provision shall not require the Employers to set aside any funds, but the Employers may set aside such funds if they choose to do so.
ARTICLE IX.
Funding of Obligation
Article VIII above to the contrary notwithstanding, the Employers may fund all or part of their obligations hereunder by transferring assets to a domestic trust if the provisions of the trust agreement creating the Trust require the use of the Trust’s assets to satisfy claims of an Employer’s general unsecured creditors in the event of such Employer’s insolvency and provide that no Participant shall at any time have a prior claim to such assets. Any transfers of assets to a
trust may be made by each Employer individually or by the Company on behalf of all Employers. The assets of the Trust shall not be deemed to be assets of this Plan.
ARTICLE X.
Amendment or Termination of Plan
The Compensation Committee shall have the power and right from time to time to modify, amend, supplement, suspend or terminate the Plan as it applies to each Employer, provided that amendments to the Plan (a) that are required to comply with applicable law or (b) that facilitate Plan administration without increasing benefits under the Plan to any Participants may be made by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”), or his designee. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, no such change in the Plan may deprive a Participant of the amounts allocated to his or her Account or be retroactive in effect to the prejudice of any Participant and the interest rate applicable to amounts credited to Participants’ Accounts for periods subsequent to Termination of Service shall not be reduced below 6% per annum. Any such modification, amendment, supplement, suspension or termination shall be in writing and signed by a member of the Compensation Committee or its designee (or the CEO, or his designee, as applicable).
ARTICLE XI.
General Provisions
(i)No Participant shall have any preference over the general creditors of an Employer in the event of such Employer’s insolvency.
(ii)Nothing contained herein shall be construed to give any person the right to be retained in the employ of an Employer or to interfere with the right of an Employer to terminate the employment of any person at any time.
(iii)If the Committee receives evidence satisfactory to it that any person entitled to receive a payment hereunder is, at the time the benefit is payable, physically, mentally or legally incompetent to receive such payment and to give a valid receipt therefor, and that an individual or institution is then maintaining or has custody of such person and that no guardian, committee or other representative of the estate of such person has been duly appointed, the Committee may direct that such payment thereof be paid to such individual or institution maintaining or having custody of such person, and the receipt of such individual or institution shall be valid and a complete discharge for the payment of such benefit.
(iv)Payments to be made hereunder may, at the written request of the Participant, be made to a bank account designated by such Participant, provided that deposits to the credit of such Participant in any bank or trust company shall be deemed payment into his or her hands.
(v)Wherever any words are used herein in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, they shall be construed as though they were also used in another gender in all cases where they would so apply, and whenever any words are used herein in the singular or plural form, they
shall be construed as though they were also used in the other form in all cases where they would so apply.
(vi)THIS PLAN SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW.
(vii)It is intended that the provisions of this Plan satisfy the requirements of Section 409A and that the Plan be operated in a manner consistent with such requirements to the extent applicable. Therefore, the Committee may make adjustments to the Plan and may construe the provisions of the Plan in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A.
(H) All deferrals and payments provided for hereunder shall be subject to applicable withholding and other deductions as shall be required of the Employer under any applicable local, state or federal law.

US EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
Employee with Confidential Information, Employee has voluntarily agreed to the covenants set forth in this Paragraph 10. Employee agrees and acknowledges that the limitations and restrictions set forth herein, including geographical and temporal restrictions on certain competitive activities, are reasonable in all respects, do not interfere with public interests, will not cause Employee undue hardship, and are material and substantial parts of this Agreement intended and necessary to prevent unfair competition and to protect the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ trade secrets and other Confidential Information, goodwill and legitimate business interests.
(b)During the Prohibited Period (as defined below), Employee shall not, without the prior written approval of the Company, directly or indirectly, for Employee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person or entity of any nature:
(i) engage in or participate within the Market Area (as defined below) in competition with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any aspect of the Business (as defined below), which prohibition shall prevent Employee from directly or indirectly: (A) owning, managing, operating, or being an officer or director of, any business that competes with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the Market Area, or (B) joining, becoming an employee or consultant of, or otherwise being affiliated with, any person or entity engaged in, or planning to engage in, the Business in the Market Area in competition, or anticipated competition, with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any capacity (with respect to this clause (B)) in which Employee’s duties or responsibilities are the same as or similar to the duties or responsibilities that Employee had on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or involve direct or indirect oversight over such duties or responsibilities;
(ii) appropriate any Business Opportunity of, or relating to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries located in the Market Area;
(iii) solicit, canvass, approach, encourage, entice or induce any customer or supplier of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for whom or which Employee had responsibility in the final 12 months prior to the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company to cease or lessen such customer’s or supplier’s business with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or
(iv) solicit, canvass, approach, encourage, entice or induce any employee or contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate his, her or its employment or engagement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(i) the covenants set forth in this Paragraph 10 shall not apply to restrict any of Employee’s activities within the State of California, including if Employee is a California resident; and
US EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
(ii) the covenants set forth in Paragraphs 10(b)(i), 10(b)(ii) shall not apply with respect to any activities conducted within Washington, D.C., as such covenants shall not apply with respect to individuals’ performance of work in Washington, D.C.;
provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing exceptions under this Paragraph 10(c) shall not limit any other obligations that Employee owes to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any other agreements or applicable laws, including (without limitation) with respect to the protection of Confidential Information.
(d)If Employee is an attorney at law or licensed lawyer in any jurisdiction, none of the restrictions set forth in this Paragraph 10 shall be interpreted or applied in a manner to prevent or restrict Employee from practicing law, as it is the intent of this Paragraph 10 to create certain limitations on Employee’s business activities only, and not to create limitations that would restrict Employee from practicing law. If Employee is an attorney at law or licensed to practice law, Employee acknowledges and agrees that, both during Employee’s employment with the Company and thereafter, Employee shall be bound by all ethical and professional obligations (including those with respect to conflicts of interest and confidentiality) that may arise from Employee’s provision of legal services to, and acting as legal counsel for, the Company and (as applicable) its Subsidiaries.
(e)Employee agrees, both during and after Employee’s employment with the Company, not to use or disclose any Confidential Information other than for the benefit of the Company or its Subsidiaries in the course of Employee’s duties for the Company or its applicable Subsidiary. All trade secrets, non-public information, designs, ideas, concepts, improvements, product developments, discoveries and inventions, whether patentable or not, that are conceived, made, developed or acquired by or disclosed to Employee, individually or in conjunction with others, in connection with Employee’s employment with the Company or otherwise during the time that Employee is or has been employed or engaged by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (whether during business hours or otherwise and whether on the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ premises or otherwise), that relate to the Companies’ or its Subsidiaries’ businesses or properties, products or services (including all such information relating to corporate opportunities, operations, future plans, methods of doing business, business plans, formulas, strategies for developing business and market share, research, financial and sales data, pricing terms, evaluations, opinions, interpretations, acquisition prospects, the identity of customers or their requirements, research and development information, the identity of key contacts within customers’ organizations or within the organization of acquisition prospects, or marketing and merchandising techniques, prospective names and marks) is defined as “Confidential Information”. For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or wrongful act of Employee or Employee’s agents; (ii) was available to Employee on a non-confidential basis before its disclosure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (iii) becomes
US EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
available to Employee on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other obligation with respect to confidentiality to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing Paragraph 10(e), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict Employee from lawfully (i) initiating communications directly with, cooperating with, providing information to, causing information to be provided to, or otherwise assisting in an investigation by, any governmental authority (in each instance regarding a possible violation of any law); (ii) responding to any inquiry or legal process directed to Employee from any such governmental authority; (iii) testifying, participating or otherwise assisting in an action or proceeding by any such governmental authority relating to a possible violation of law or (iv) making any other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any applicable law. Additionally, pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (x) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (y) is made to Employee’s attorney in relation to a lawsuit for retaliation against Employee for reporting a suspected violation of law or (z) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Nothing in this Agreement requires Employee to obtain prior authorization before engaging in any conduct described in this paragraph, or to notify the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that Employee has engaged in any such conduct.
(g)Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Company and its Subsidiaries as a result of a breach or threatened breach of the covenants set forth in this Paragraph 10, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused to the Company and its Subsidiaries for which they would have no other adequate remedy, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to enforce the foregoing covenants, in the event of a breach or threatened breach, by injunctions and restraining orders from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The aforementioned equitable relief shall not be the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ exclusive remedy for a breach but instead shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Company and each of its Subsidiaries at law and equity.
(h)The covenants in this Paragraph 10, and each provision and portion hereof, are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant (or portion thereof) shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant (or portion thereof). Moreover, in the event any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the
US EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which such arbitrator or court deems reasonable, and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed.
(i)The following terms shall have the following meanings:
(i) “Business” shall mean the business and operations that are the same or similar to those performed by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries for which Employee provides services or about which Employee obtains Confidential Information during Employee’s employment with the Company.
(ii) “Business Opportunity” shall mean any commercial, investment or other business opportunity relating to the Business.
(iii) “Market Area” shall mean: (i) during that portion of the Prohibited Period that exists during which Employee is employed by the Company, any geographic area or market where Employee provides, or has provided, services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and (ii) during that portion of the Prohibited Period that exists following the date that Employee is no longer employed by the Company, any geographic area or market where Employee provided services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the date Employee is no longer employed by the Company or during the 12 months prior to such date.
(iv) “Prohibited Period” shall mean the period during which Employee is employed by the Company and continuing for a period of 12 months following the date that Employee is no longer employed by the Company; provided, however, with respect to a termination of employment with the Company on or after the date upon which a Corporate Change occurs, the Prohibited Period shall end on the date of such termination of employment with respect to the obligations under Paragraphs 10(b)(i) and 10(b)(ii).
11.Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any provision in this Agreement would result in the imposition of an applicable tax under Section 409A of the Code and related regulations and United States Department of the Treasury pronouncements (“Section 409A”), that provision will be reformed to avoid imposition of the applicable tax and no action taken to comply with Section 409A shall be deemed to adversely affect Employee’s rights under this Agreement.

Settlement will be made in the form of shares of Stock equal in number to the number of Restricted Stock Units with respect to which payment is being made on the applicable date; provided, however, that payment for a vested Restricted Stock Unit shall be made at the time provided above solely in cash (in lieu of in the form of a share of Stock) in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value as of the vesting date of such Restricted Stock Unit if there are an insufficient number of shares available for delivery under the Plan at the time of such settlement as determined
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
by the Committee or its delegate in the Committee’s or such delegate’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of Stock if counsel to the Company determines that such sale or delivery would violate any applicable law or any rule or regulation of any governmental authority or any rule or regulation of, or agreement of the Company with, any securities exchange or association upon which the Stock is listed or quoted.
vi.Recovery of Benefits. The Company shall seek recovery of any benefits provided hereunder to Employee if such recovery is required by any clawback policy adopted by the Company, which may be amended from time to time, including, but not limited to, any clawback policy adopted to satisfy the minimum clawback requirements adopted under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the regulations thereunder or any other applicable law.
3.Responsibility for Taxes. Employee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company, or if different, Employee’s employer (“Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Employee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Employee (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains Employee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer. Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Stock acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Employee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Employee agrees to pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Employee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
i.withholding from Employee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Employee by the Company and/or the Employer; or
ii.withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Employee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
iii.withholding in shares of Stock to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Employee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Stock, for tax purposes, Employee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
Employee agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer, including through withholding from Employee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Employee by the Company and/or the Employer, any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Employee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Stock or the proceeds of the sale of Stock, if Employee fails to comply with Employee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Paragraph 3, Employee’s liability with respect to Tax-Related Items shall be subject to any international tax assignment agreement then in effect between Employee and the Company, the Employer or any of their respective affiliates or any tax policies or procedures applicable to the Employee’s home country, and in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Paragraph 3 and the terms of such international tax assignment agreement or such tax policies or procedures, the terms of such international tax assignment agreement or such tax policies or procedures, as applicable, shall control.
4.Employment Relationship. For purposes of this Agreement, Employee shall be considered to be in the employment of the Company as long as Employee remains an employee of the Company, a Parent Corporation or Subsidiary of the Company, or a corporation or a Parent Corporation or subsidiary of such corporation assuming or substituting a new award for this Award. Without limiting the scope of the preceding sentence, it is expressly provided that Employee shall be considered to have terminated employment with the Company at the time of the termination of the “Subsidiary” status under the Plan of the entity or other organization that employs Employee. Any question as to whether and when there has been a termination of such employment, and the cause of such termination, shall be determined by the Committee, or its delegate, as appropriate, and its determination shall be final.
5.Committee’s Powers. No provision contained in this Agreement shall in any way terminate, modify or alter, or be construed or interpreted as terminating, modifying or altering any of the powers, rights or authority vested in the Committee or, to the extent delegated, in its delegate pursuant to the terms of the Plan or resolutions adopted in furtherance of the Plan, including, without limitation, the right to make certain determinations and elections with respect to the Restricted Stock Units.
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
6.Data Privacy Notice and Consent.
i.Declaration of Consent. By accepting the Restricted Stock Units via the Company’s acceptance procedure, Employee is declaring that he or she agrees with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Data by the Company and the transfer of Data to the recipients mentioned below, including recipients located in countries which may not have a similar level of protection from the perspective of the data protection laws in Employee’s country.
ii.Data Collection and Usage. The Company and the Employer may collect, process and use certain personal information about Employee, including, but not limited to, Employee’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Employee’s favor (“Data”), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is Employee’s consent.
iii.Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers Data, or parts thereof, to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and may share Data with different service providers that serve in a similar manner. Employee acknowledges and understands that the Company’s service provider will open an account for Employee to receive and trade shares of Stock acquired under the Plan and that Employee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition of Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan.
iv.International Data Transfers. The Company and its service provider, are based in the United States. Employee understands that his or her country may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the laws of the United States. For example, the European Commission has issued only a limited adequacy finding with respect to the United States that applies solely if and to the extent that companies self-certify and remain self-certified under the EU/U.S. Privacy Shield program. As a result, in the absence of appropriate safeguards such as standard data protection clauses, the processing of Employee’s Data in the United States or, as the case may be, other countries might not be subject to substantive data processing principles or supervision by data protection authorities. In addition, Employee might not have enforceable rights regarding the processing of his or her Data in such countries. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of Data is Employee’s consent.
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
v.Data Retention. The Company will hold and use the Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Employee’s participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, labor, securities and exchange control laws.
vi.Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and Employee is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. Employee understands that he or she may withdraw consent at any time with future effect for any or no reason. If Employee does not consent, or if Employee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, Employee’s salary from or employment and career with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to offer Restricted Stock Units to Employee or administer or maintain Employee’s participation in the Plan.
vii.Data Subject Rights. Employee understands that data subject rights vary depending on the applicable law and that, depending on where Employee is based and subject to the conditions set out in the applicable law, Employee may have, without limitation, the rights to (i) request access or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) rectification of incorrect Data, (iii) deletion of Data, (iv) restrictions on processing of Data, (v) portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in Employee’s jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, Employee understands that he or she can contact Employee’s local human resources representative.

By clicking the “Accept” or similar button implemented into the relevant web page or platform, Employee declares, without limitation, his or her consent to the data processing operations described in this Agreement. Employee understands and acknowledges that he or she may withdraw consent at any time with future effect for any or no reason as described in sub-section (vi) above.

7.Nature of Grant. By accepting the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, the Employee acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
i.the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature, and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
ii.the grant of Restricted Stock Units is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded in the past;
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
iii.all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Units or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
iv.the grant of Restricted Stock Units and Employee’s participation in the Plan will not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or service contract with the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary of the Company and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate Employee’s employment or service relationship (if any);
v.Employee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;
vi.the Restricted Stock Units and the Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units, and the income and value of the same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
vii.the Restricted Stock Units and the Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units, and the income and value of the same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy or end-of-service payments, holiday-pay, bonuses, long-service awards, leave-related payments, pension or retirement benefits, or similar mandatory payments;
viii.the future value of the Stock is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
ix.no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units resulting from Employee ceasing to provide employment or other services to the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever, and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Employee is employed or the terms of Employee’s employment agreement, if any);
x.in the event of termination of Employee’s employment or other services (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid, or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Employee is employed or the terms of Employee’s employment agreement, if any), unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, Employee’s right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that Employee is no longer actively providing services and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., active services would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Employee is employed or the terms of Employee’s employment agreement, if any); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Employee is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Award (including whether Employee may still be considered to be providing services while on an approved leave of absence);
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
xi.unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Restricted Stock Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Restricted Stock Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of the Company;
xii.unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Restricted Stock Units and the Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units, and the income and value of the same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, services Employee may provide as a director of a Subsidiary; and
xiii.neither the Company, the Employer nor any Subsidiary of the Company shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Employee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or of any amounts due to Employee pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any shares of Stock acquired upon settlement.
8.No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Employee’s participation in the Plan, or Employee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Stock. Employee should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
9.Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors to the Company and all persons lawfully claiming under Employee.
10.Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Non-Disclosure.
A.Following the date Employee enters into this Agreement, the Company and/or its Subsidiary(ies) shall provide Employee access to Confidential Information (as defined below). Such Confidential Information shall be for use only during Employee’s employment with the Company, and as an express incentive for the Company to enter into this Agreement and to grant to Employee the Restricted Stock Units (which grant, Employee acknowledges, shall further align Employee’s interests with the long-term business interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries) and provide Employee with Confidential Information, Employee has voluntarily agreed to the covenants set forth in this Paragraph 10. Employee agrees and acknowledges that the limitations and restrictions set forth herein, including geographical and temporal restrictions on certain competitive activities, are reasonable in all respects, do not interfere with public interests, will not cause Employee undue hardship, and are material and substantial parts of this Agreement intended and necessary to prevent unfair competition and to protect the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ trade secrets and other Confidential Information, goodwill and legitimate business interests.
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
B.During the Prohibited Period (as defined below), Employee shall not, without the prior written approval of the Company, directly or indirectly, for Employee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person or entity of any nature:
(i) engage in or participate within the Market Area (as defined below) in competition with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any aspect of the Business (as defined below), which prohibition shall prevent Employee from directly or indirectly: (A) owning, managing, operating, or being an officer or director of, any business that competes with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the Market Area, or (B) joining, becoming an employee or consultant of, or otherwise being affiliated with, any person or entity engaged in, or planning to engage in, the Business in the Market Area in competition, or anticipated competition, with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any capacity (with respect to this clause (B)) in which Employee’s duties or responsibilities are the same as or similar to the duties or responsibilities that Employee had on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or involve direct or indirect oversight over such duties or responsibilities;
(ii) appropriate any Business Opportunity of, or relating to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries located in the Market Area;
(iii) solicit, canvass, approach, encourage, entice or induce any customer or supplier of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for whom or which Employee had responsibility in the final 12 months prior to the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company to cease or lessen such customer’s or supplier’s business with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or
(iv) solicit, canvass, approach, encourage, entice or induce any employee or contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate his, her or its employment or engagement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
C.Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:
(i) the covenants set forth in this Paragraph 10 shall not apply to restrict any of Employee’s activities within the State of California, including if Employee is a California resident; and
(ii) the covenants set forth in Paragraphs 10(b)(i), 10(b)(ii) shall not apply with respect to any activities conducted within Washington, D.C., as such covenants shall not apply with respect to individuals’ performance of work in Washington, D.C.;
provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing exceptions under this Paragraph 10(c) shall not limit any other obligations that Employee owes to the Company
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
or any of its Subsidiaries under any other agreements or applicable laws, including (without limitation) with respect to the protection of Confidential Information.
D.If Employee is an attorney at law or licensed lawyer in any jurisdiction, none of the restrictions set forth in this Paragraph 10 shall be interpreted or applied in a manner to prevent or restrict Employee from practicing law, as it is the intent of this Paragraph 10 to create certain limitations on Employee’s business activities only, and not to create limitations that would restrict Employee from practicing law. If Employee is an attorney at law or licensed to practice law, Employee acknowledges and agrees that, both during Employee’s employment with the Company and thereafter, Employee shall be bound by all ethical and professional obligations (including those with respect to conflicts of interest and confidentiality) that may arise from Employee’s provision of legal services to, and acting as legal counsel for, the Company and (as applicable) its Subsidiaries.
E.Employee agrees, both during and after Employee’s employment with the Company, not to use or disclose any Confidential Information other than for the benefit of the Company or its Subsidiaries in the course of Employee’s duties for the Company or its applicable Subsidiary. All trade secrets, non-public information, designs, ideas, concepts, improvements, product developments, discoveries and inventions, whether patentable or not, that are conceived, made, developed or acquired by or disclosed to Employee, individually or in conjunction with others, in connection with Employee’s employment with the Company or otherwise during the time that Employee is or has been employed or engaged by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (whether during business hours or otherwise and whether on the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ premises or otherwise), that relate to the Companies’ or its Subsidiaries’ businesses or properties, products or services (including all such information relating to corporate opportunities, operations, future plans, methods of doing business, business plans, formulas, strategies for developing business and market share, research, financial and sales data, pricing terms, evaluations, opinions, interpretations, acquisition prospects, the identity of customers or their requirements, research and development information, the identity of key contacts within customers’ organizations or within the organization of acquisition prospects, or marketing and merchandising techniques, prospective names and marks) is defined as “Confidential Information”. For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or wrongful act of Employee or Employee’s agents; (ii) was available to Employee on a non-confidential basis before its disclosure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (iii) becomes available to Employee on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other obligation with respect to confidentiality to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
F.Notwithstanding the foregoing Paragraph 10(e), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict Employee from lawfully (i) initiating
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
communications directly with, cooperating with, providing information to, causing information to be provided to, or otherwise assisting in an investigation by, any governmental authority (in each instance regarding a possible violation of any law); (ii) responding to any inquiry or legal process directed to Employee from any such governmental authority; (iii) testifying, participating or otherwise assisting in an action or proceeding by any such governmental authority relating to a possible violation of law or (iv) making any other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any applicable law. Additionally, pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (x) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (y) is made to Employee’s attorney in relation to a lawsuit for retaliation against Employee for reporting a suspected violation of law or (z) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Nothing in this Agreement requires Employee to obtain prior authorization before engaging in any conduct described in this paragraph, or to notify the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that Employee have engaged in any such conduct.
G.Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Company and its Subsidiaries as a result of a breach or threatened breach of the covenants set forth in this Paragraph 10, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused to the Company and its Subsidiaries for which they would have no other adequate remedy, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to enforce the foregoing covenants, in the event of a breach or threatened breach, by injunctions and restraining orders from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The aforementioned equitable relief shall not be the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ exclusive remedy for a breach but instead shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Company and each of its Subsidiaries at law and equity.
H.The covenants in this Paragraph 10, and each provision and portion hereof, are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant (or portion thereof) shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant (or portion thereof). Moreover, in the event any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which such arbitrator or court deems reasonable, and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed.
I.The following terms shall have the following meanings:
(i) “Business” shall mean the business and operations that are the same or similar to those performed by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries for which Employee provides services or about which Employee
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
obtains Confidential Information during Employee’s employment with the Company.
(ii) “Business Opportunity” shall mean any commercial, investment or other business opportunity relating to the Business.
(iii) “Market Area” shall mean: (i) during that portion of the Prohibited Period that exists during which Employee is employed by the Company, any geographic area or market where Employee provides, or has provided, services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and (ii) during that portion of the Prohibited Period that exists following the date that Employee is no longer employed by the Company, any geographic area or market where Employee provided services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the date Employee is no longer employed by the Company or during the 12 months prior to such date.
(iv) “Prohibited Period” shall mean the period during which Employee is employed by the Company and continuing for a period of 12 months following the date that Employee is no longer employed by the Company; provided, however, with respect to a termination of employment with the Company on or after the date upon which a Corporate Change occurs, the Prohibited Period shall end on the date of such termination of employment with respect to the obligations under Paragraphs 10(b)(i) and 10(b)(ii).
11.Compliance with Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the shares of Stock, the Company shall not be required to deliver any shares issuable upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the shares under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. Employee understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the shares with the SEC or any state or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the shares. Further, Employee agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and the Agreement without Employee’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of shares.
12.Other Agreements. The terms of this Agreement shall be subject to, and shall not modify, the terms and conditions of any employment, severance, and/or change-in-control agreement between the Company (or a Subsidiary) and Employee concerning equity-based awards (“Other Agreement”), except that, notwithstanding anything in such Other Agreement to the contrary, any normal retirement age of 65 or other retirement-based vesting
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
provisions in such Other Agreement shall be of no force or effect for purposes of the vesting of these Restricted Stock Units.
13.Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas, U.S.A., except to the extent that it implicates matters that are the subject of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which matters shall be governed by the latter law notwithstanding any conflicts of laws principles that may be applied or invoked directing the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Exclusive venue for any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this Agreement, relating to it or arising from it, or dispute resolution proceeding arising hereunder for any claim or dispute, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of Houston, Harris County, Texas, notwithstanding any conflicts of laws principles that may direct the jurisdiction of any other court, venue, or forum, including the jurisdiction of Employee’s home country.
14.Language. Employee acknowledges and represents that he or she is proficient in the English language or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, as to allow Employee to understand the terms of this Agreement and any other documents related to the Plan. If Employee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the translated version is different from the English version, the English version will control.
15.Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. Employee acknowledges that, depending on Employee’s country of residence or the country of residence of Employee’s broker, Employee may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect Employee’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Stock, rights to shares of Stock (e.g., Restricted Stock Units) or rights linked to the value of shares of Stock during such times as Employee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company, as defined by the laws or regulations in Employee’s country. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders placed by Employee before Employee possessed inside information. Furthermore, Employee could be prohibited from (i) disclosing inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Keep in mind third parties include fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. Employee acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to be informed of and compliant with such regulations, and Employee should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.
16.Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
17.Severability. If one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed null and void; however, to the extent permissible by law, any provisions which could be deemed null and void shall first be construed, interpreted or revised retroactively to permit this Agreement to be construed so as to foster the intent of this Agreement and the Plan.
18.Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any provision in this Agreement would result in the imposition of an applicable tax under Section 409A of the Code and related regulations and United States Department of the Treasury pronouncements (“Section 409A”), that provision will be reformed to avoid imposition of the applicable tax and no action taken to comply with Section 409A shall be deemed to adversely affect Employee’s rights under this Agreement.
19.Addendum. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the special terms and provisions set forth in the Addendum to this Agreement for Employee’s country. Moreover, if Employee relocates to one of the countries included in the Addendum, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to Employee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Addendum constitutes part of this Agreement.
20.Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Employee’s participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units and on any shares of Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Employee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
21.Waiver. Employee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or any subsequent breach by Employee or any other Employee.
22.Foreign Asset/Account Reporting, Exchange Control Requirements. Certain foreign asset and/or foreign account reporting requirements and exchange controls may affect Employee’s ability to acquire or hold shares of Stock under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan in a brokerage or bank account outside Employee’s country. Employee may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in Employee’s country. Employee may also be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of Employee’s participation in the Plan to Employee’s country through a designated bank or broker and/or within a certain time after receipt. Employee is responsible for complying with any applicable regulations and should consult his or her personal legal and tax advisors for any details.

Addendum
KBR, INC.
Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Grant
SPECIAL PROVISIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
IN CERTAIN COUNTRIES
This Addendum includes special country-specific terms that apply to residents in countries listed below. This Addendum is part of the Agreement. Unless otherwise provided below, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan and the Agreement.
This Addendum also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which Employee should be aware with respect to Employee’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of February 2020. Such laws are often complex, change frequently, certain individual exchange control reporting requirements may apply upon vesting of Restricted Stock Units and/or sale of Stock and results may be different based on the particular facts and circumstances. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Employee does not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of Employee’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time Employee’s Restricted Stock Units vest or Employee sells shares of Stock acquired under the Plan.

(collectively, the “Additional Documents”). The Additional Documents provide further information to help Employee make an informed investment decision about participating in the Plan. Neither the Plan nor the Plan prospectus is a prospectus for the purposes of the Corporations Act.

General Information Only.
The information herein is general information only. It is not advice or information that takes into account any Employees’ objectives and financial situation.
Employees should consider obtaining their own financial product advice from a person who is licensed by ASIC to give such advice.
Risk Factors for Australian Residents.
Employee should have regard to risk factors relevant to investment in securities generally and, in particular, to the holding of shares of Stock. For example, the price at which a share of Stock is quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) may increase or decrease due to a number of factors. There is no guarantee that the price of a share of Stock will increase. Factors which may affect the price of a share of Stock include fluctuations in the domestic and international market for the listed stocks, general economic conditions, including interest rates, inflation rates, legislation or regulation, the nature of the markets in which the Company operates and general operational and business risks.
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (ADDENDUM)
More information about potential factors that could affect the Company’s business and financial results is included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings the Company may make from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Copies of these reports are available at http://sec.gov and upon request to the Company.
In addition, Employee should be aware that the Australian dollar value of the shares of Stock Employee may acquire under the Plan will be affected by the U.S./Australian dollar exchange rate. Participating in the Plan involves risks related to fluctuations in this rate of exchange.
Common Stock in a U.S. Corporation.
Common stock of a U.S. corporation is analogous to ordinary shares of an Australian corporation. Each holder of a share of Stock is entitled to one vote. Further, shares of Stock are not liable to any further calls for payment of capital or for other assessment by the Company and have no sinking fund provisions, pre-emptive rights, conversion rights or redemption provisions.
Ascertaining the Market Price of Shares.
Employee may ascertain the market price of a share of Stock by obtaining the current trading price of a share on the NYSE at https://www.nyse.com/index under the ticker “KBR”. The Australian dollar equivalent of that price can be obtained at: http://www.rba.gov.au/statistics/frequency/exchange-rates.html.
This will not be a prediction of the market price of an individual share when such shares are acquired under the Plan or of the applicable exchange rate on the acquisition date.
Tax Information.
The Plan is a plan to which subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies (subject to conditions in the Act).

Foreign Account/Asset Tax Reporting Information.
Employee may be required to report his or her specified foreign property on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of his or her specified foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time in the year.

The ACB would normally equal the fair market value of the shares of Stock issued to Employee upon vesting and settlement of the Award, but if Employee owns other shares, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares.

In accepting the award of Restricted Stock Units, Employee expressly recognizes that KBR, Inc., with registered offices at 601 Jefferson Street, Suite 3400, Houston, Texas 77002, U.S.A., is solely responsible for the administration of the Plan and that Employee’s participation in the Plan and acquisition of shares of Stock does not constitute an employment relationship between Employee and KBR, Inc. since Employee is participating in the Plan on a wholly commercial basis and Employee’s sole employer is a Subsidiary of the Company in Mexico (“KBR-Mexico”), not KBR, Inc. in the U.S. Based on the foregoing, Employee expressly recognizes that the Plan and the benefits that Employee may derive from participation in the Plan do not establish any rights between Employee and Employee’s employer, KBR-Mexico, and do not form part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by KBR-Mexico and any modification of the Plan or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of Employee’s employment.

9.Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas, U.S.A., except to the extent that it implicates matters that are the subject of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which matters shall be governed by the latter law notwithstanding any conflicts of laws principles that may be applied or invoked directing the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Exclusive venue for any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this Agreement, relating to it or arising from it, or dispute resolution proceeding arising hereunder for any claim or dispute, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of Houston, Harris County, Texas, notwithstanding any conflicts of laws principles that may direct the jurisdiction of any other court, venue, or forum, including the jurisdiction of Employee’s home country.
10.Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Non-Disclosure.
A.Following the date Employee enters into this Agreement, the Company and/or its Subsidiary(ies) shall provide Employee access to Confidential Information (as defined below). Such Confidential Information shall be for use only during Employee’s employment with the Company, and as an express incentive for the Company to enter into this Agreement and to grant to Employee the Performance Stock Units (which grant, Employee acknowledges, shall further align Employee’s interests with the long-term business interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries) and provide Employee with Confidential Information, Employee has voluntarily agreed to the covenants set forth in this Paragraph 10. Employee agrees and acknowledges that the limitations and restrictions set forth herein, including geographical and temporal restrictions on certain competitive activities, are reasonable in all respects, do not interfere with public interests, will not cause Employee undue hardship, and are material and substantial parts of this Agreement intended and necessary to prevent unfair competition and to protect the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ trade secrets and other Confidential Information, goodwill and legitimate business interests.
B.During the Prohibited Period (as defined below), Employee shall not, without the prior written approval of the Company, directly or indirectly, for Employee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person or entity of any nature:
(i) engage in or participate within the Market Area (as defined below) in competition with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any aspect of the Business (as defined below), which prohibition shall prevent Employee from directly or indirectly: (A) owning, managing, operating, or being an officer or director of, any business that competes with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the Market Area, or (B) joining, becoming an employee or consultant of, or otherwise being affiliated with, any person or entity engaged in, or planning to engage in, the Business in the Market Area in competition, or anticipated competition, with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any capacity (with respect to this clause (B)) in which Employee’s duties or responsibilities are the same as or similar to the duties or responsibilities that
US EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
Employee had on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or involve direct or indirect oversight over such duties or responsibilities;
(ii) appropriate any Business Opportunity of, or relating to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries located in the Market Area;
(iii) solicit, canvass, approach, encourage, entice or induce any customer or supplier of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for whom or which Employee had responsibility in the final 12 months prior to the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company to cease or lessen such customer’s or supplier’s business with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or
(iv) solicit, canvass, approach, encourage, entice or induce any employee or contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate his, her or its employment or engagement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
C.Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:
(i) the covenants set forth in this Paragraph 10 shall not apply to restrict any of Employee’s activities within the State of California, including if Employee is a California resident; and
(ii) the covenants set forth in Paragraphs 10(b)(i), 10(b)(ii) shall not apply with respect to any activities conducted within Washington, D.C., as such covenants shall not apply with respect to individuals’ performance of work in Washington, D.C.;
provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing exceptions under this Paragraph 10(c) shall not limit any other obligations that Employee owes to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any other agreements or applicable laws, including (without limitation) with respect to the protection of Confidential Information.
D.If Employee is an attorney at law or licensed lawyer in any jurisdiction, none of the restrictions set forth in this Paragraph 10 shall be interpreted or applied in a manner to prevent or restrict Employee from practicing law, as it is the intent of this Paragraph 10 to create certain limitations on Employee’s business activities only, and not to create limitations that would restrict Employee from practicing law. If Employee is an attorney at law or licensed to practice law, Employee acknowledges and agrees that, both during Employee’s employment with the Company and thereafter, Employee shall be bound by all ethical and professional obligations (including those with respect to conflicts of interest and confidentiality) that may arise from Employee’s provision of legal services to, and acting as legal counsel for, the Company and (as applicable) its Subsidiaries.
US EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
E.Employee agrees, both during and after Employee’s employment with the Company, not to use or disclose any Confidential Information other than for the benefit of the Company or its Subsidiaries in the course of Employee’s duties for the Company or its applicable Subsidiary. All trade secrets, non-public information, designs, ideas, concepts, improvements, product developments, discoveries and inventions, whether patentable or not, that are conceived, made, developed or acquired by or disclosed to Employee, individually or in conjunction with others, in connection with Employee’s employment with the Company or otherwise during the time that Employee is or has been employed or engaged by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (whether during business hours or otherwise and whether on the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ premises or otherwise), that relate to the Companies’ or its Subsidiaries’ businesses or properties, products or services (including all such information relating to corporate opportunities, operations, future plans, methods of doing business, business plans, formulas, strategies for developing business and market share, research, financial and sales data, pricing terms, evaluations, opinions, interpretations, acquisition prospects, the identity of customers or their requirements, research and development information, the identity of key contacts within customers’ organizations or within the organization of acquisition prospects, or marketing and merchandising techniques, prospective names and marks) is defined as “Confidential Information”. For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or wrongful act of Employee or Employee’s agents; (ii) was available to Employee on a non-confidential basis before its disclosure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (iii) becomes available to Employee on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other obligation with respect to confidentiality to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
F.Notwithstanding the foregoing Paragraph 10(e), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict Employee from lawfully (i) initiating communications directly with, cooperating with, providing information to, causing information to be provided to, or otherwise assisting in an investigation by, any governmental authority (in each instance regarding a possible violation of any law); (ii) responding to any inquiry or legal process directed to Employee from any such governmental authority; (iii) testifying, participating or otherwise assisting in an action or proceeding by any such governmental authority relating to a possible violation of law or (iv) making any other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any applicable law. Additionally, pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (x) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (y) is made to Employee’s attorney in relation to a lawsuit for retaliation against Employee for reporting a suspected violation of law or (z) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.
US EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
Nothing in this Agreement requires Employee to obtain prior authorization before engaging in any conduct described in this paragraph, or to notify the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that Employee has engaged in any such conduct.
G.Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Company and its Subsidiaries as a result of a breach or threatened breach of the covenants set forth in this Paragraph 10, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused to the Company and its Subsidiaries for which they would have no other adequate remedy, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to enforce the foregoing covenants, in the event of a breach or threatened breach, by injunctions and restraining orders from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The aforementioned equitable relief shall not be the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ exclusive remedy for a breach but instead shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Company and each of its Subsidiaries at law and equity.
H.The covenants in this Paragraph 10, and each provision and portion hereof, are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant (or portion thereof) shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant (or portion thereof). Moreover, in the event any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which such arbitrator or court deems reasonable, and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed.
I.The following terms shall have the following meanings:
(i) “Business” shall mean the business and operations that are the same or similar to those performed by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries for which Employee provides services or about which Employee obtains Confidential Information during Employee’s employment with the Company.
(ii) “Business Opportunity” shall mean any commercial, investment or other business opportunity relating to the Business.
(iii) “Market Area” shall mean: (i) during that portion of the Prohibited Period that exists during which Employee is employed by the Company, any geographic area or market where Employee provides, or has provided, services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and (ii) during that portion of the Prohibited Period that exists following the date that Employee is no longer employed by the Company, any geographic area or market where Employee provided services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the date Employee is no longer employed by the Company or during the 12 months prior to such date.
US EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
(iv) “Prohibited Period” shall mean the period during which Employee is employed by the Company and continuing for a period of 12 months following the date that Employee is no longer employed by the Company; provided, however, with respect to a termination of employment with the Company on or after the date upon which a Corporate Change occurs, the Prohibited Period shall end on the date of such termination of employment with respect to the obligations under Paragraphs 10(b)(i) and 10(b)(ii).
11.Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any provision in this Agreement would result in the imposition of an applicable tax under Section 409A of the Code and related regulations and United States Department of the Treasury pronouncements (“Section 409A”), that provision will be reformed to avoid imposition of the applicable tax and no action taken to comply with Section 409A shall be deemed to adversely affect Employee’s rights under this Agreement.

INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
v.Payment for Vested Performance Stock Units. Payment for vested Performance Stock Units shall be made as soon as administratively practicable after vesting, but in no event later than thirty days after the vesting date. Settlement will be made in the form of shares of Stock equal in number to the number of Performance Stock Units with respect to which payment is being made on the applicable date; provided, however, that payment for a vested Performance Stock Unit shall be made at the time provided above solely in cash (in lieu of in the form of a share of Stock) in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value as of the vesting date of such Performance Stock Unit if there are an insufficient number of shares available for delivery under the Plan at the time of such settlement as determined by the Committee or its delegate in the Committee’s or such delegate’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of Stock if counsel to the Company determines that such sale or delivery would violate any applicable law or any rule or regulation of any governmental authority or any rule or regulation of, or agreement of the Company with, any securities exchange or association upon which the Stock is listed or quoted.
vi.Recovery of Benefits. The Company shall seek recovery of any benefits provided hereunder to Employee if such recovery is required by any clawback policy adopted by the Company, which may be amended from time to time, including, but not limited to, any clawback policy adopted to satisfy the minimum clawback requirements adopted under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the regulations thereunder or any other applicable law.
3.Responsibility for Taxes. Employee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company, or if different, Employee’s employer (“Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Employee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Employee (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains Employee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer. Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Performance Stock Units, including but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Performance Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Stock acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Performance Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Employee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Employee agrees to pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Employee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
i.withholding from Employee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Employee by the Company and/or the Employer; or
ii.withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the Performance Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Employee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or
iii.withholding in shares of Stock to be issued upon settlement of the Performance Stock Units.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Employee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Stock, for tax purposes, Employee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the vested Performance Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
Employee agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer, including through withholding from Employee's wages or other cash compensation paid to Employee by the Company and/or the Employer, any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Employee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Stock or the proceeds of the sale of Stock, if Employee fails to comply with Employee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Paragraph 3, Employee’s liability with respect to Tax-Related Items shall be subject to any international tax assignment agreement then in effect between Employee and the Company, the Employer or any of their respective affiliates or any tax policies or procedures applicable to the Employee’s home country, and in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Paragraph 3 and the terms of such international tax assignment agreement or such tax policies or procedures, the terms of such international tax assignment agreement or such tax policies or procedures, as applicable, shall control.
4.Employment Relationship. For purposes of this Agreement, Employee shall be considered to be in the employment of the Company as long as Employee remains an employee of the Company, a Parent Corporation or Subsidiary of the Company, or a corporation or a Parent Corporation or subsidiary of such corporation assuming or substituting a new award for this Award. Without limiting the scope of the preceding sentence, it is expressly provided that Employee shall be considered to have terminated employment with the Company at the time of the termination of the “Subsidiary” status under the Plan of the entity or other organization that employs Employee. Any question as to whether and when there has been a termination of
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
such employment, and the cause of such termination, shall be determined by the Committee, or its delegate, as appropriate, and its determination shall be final.
5.Committee’s Powers. No provision contained in this Agreement shall in any way terminate, modify or alter, or be construed or interpreted as terminating, modifying or altering any of the powers, rights or authority vested in the Committee or, to the extent delegated, in its delegate pursuant to the terms of the Plan or resolutions adopted in furtherance of the Plan, including, without limitation, the right to make certain determinations and elections with respect to the Performance Stock Units.
6.Data Privacy Notice and Consent.
i.Declaration of Consent. By accepting the Performance Stock Units via the Company’s acceptance procedure, Employee is declaring that he or she agrees with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Data by the Company and the transfer of Data to the recipients mentioned below, including recipients located in countries which may not have a similar level of protection from the perspective of the data protection laws in Employee’s country.
ii.Data Collection and Usage. The Company and the Employer may collect, process and use certain personal information about Employee, including, but not limited to, Employee’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Performance Stock Units or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Employee’s favor (“Data”), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is Employee’s consent.
iii.Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers Data, or parts thereof, to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and may share Data with different service providers that serve in a similar manner. Employee acknowledges and understands that the Company’s service provider will open an account for Employee to receive and trade shares of Stock acquired under the Plan and that Employee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition of Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan.
iv.International Data Transfers. The Company and its service provider, are based in the United States. Employee understands that his or her country may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the laws of the United States. For example, the European Commission has issued only a limited adequacy finding with respect to the United States that applies solely if and to the extent that companies
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
self-certify and remain self-certified under the EU/U.S. Privacy Shield program. As a result, in the absence of appropriate safeguards such as standard data protection clauses, the processing of Employee’s Data in the United States or, as the case may be, other countries might not be subject to substantive data processing principles or supervision by data protection authorities. In addition, Employee might not have enforceable rights regarding the processing of his or her Data in such countries. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of Data is Employee’s consent.
v.Data Retention. The Company will hold and use the Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Employee’s participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, labor, securities and exchange control laws.
vi.Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and Employee is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. Employee understands that he or she may withdraw consent at any time with future effect for any or no reason. If Employee does not consent, or if Employee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, Employee’s salary from or employment and career with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to offer Performance Stock Units to Employee or administer or maintain Employee’s participation in the Plan.
vii.Data Subject Rights. Employee understands that data subject rights vary depending on the applicable law and that, depending on where Employee is based and subject to the conditions set out in the applicable law, Employee may have, without limitation, the rights to (i) request access or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) rectification of incorrect Data, (iii) deletion of Data, (iv) restrictions on processing of Data, (v) portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in Employee’s jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, Employee understands that he or she can contact Employee’s local human resources representative.

By clicking the “Accept” or similar button implemented into the relevant web page or platform, Employee declares, without limitation, his or her consent to the data processing operations described in this Agreement. Employee understands and acknowledges that he or she may withdraw consent at any time with future effect for any or no reason as described in sub-section (vi) above.

xii.unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Performance Stock Units and the Stock underlying the Performance Stock Units, and the income and value of the same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, services Employee may provide as a director of a Subsidiary; and

8.No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Employee's participation in the Plan, or Employee's acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Stock.

9.Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors to the Company and all persons lawfully claiming under Employee.
10.Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Non-Disclosure.
A.Following the date Employee enters into this Agreement, the Company and/or its Subsidiary(ies) shall provide Employee access to Confidential Information (as defined below). Such Confidential Information shall be for use only during Employee’s employment with the Company, and as an express incentive for the Company to enter into this Agreement and to grant to Employee the Performance Stock Units (which grant, Employee acknowledges, shall further align Employee’s interests with the long-term business interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries) and provide Employee with Confidential Information, Employee has voluntarily agreed to the covenants set forth in this Paragraph 10. Employee agrees and acknowledges that the
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
limitations and restrictions set forth herein, including geographical and temporal restrictions on certain competitive activities, are reasonable in all respects, do not interfere with public interests, will not cause Employee undue hardship, and are material and substantial parts of this Agreement intended and necessary to prevent unfair competition and to protect the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ trade secrets and other Confidential Information, goodwill and legitimate business interests.
B.During the Prohibited Period (as defined below), Employee shall not, without the prior written approval of the Company, directly or indirectly, for Employee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person or entity of any nature:
(i) engage in or participate within the Market Area (as defined below) in competition with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any aspect of the Business (as defined below), which prohibition shall prevent Employee from directly or indirectly: (A) owning, managing, operating, or being an officer or director of, any business that competes with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the Market Area, or (B) joining, becoming an employee or consultant of, or otherwise being affiliated with, any person or entity engaged in, or planning to engage in, the Business in the Market Area in competition, or anticipated competition, with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any capacity (with respect to this clause (B)) in which Employee’s duties or responsibilities are the same as or similar to the duties or responsibilities that Employee had on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or involve direct or indirect oversight over such duties or responsibilities;
(ii) appropriate any Business Opportunity of, or relating to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries located in the Market Area;
(iii) solicit, canvass, approach, encourage, entice or induce any customer or supplier of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for whom or which Employee had responsibility in the final 12 months prior to the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company to cease or lessen such customer’s or supplier’s business with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or
(iv) solicit, canvass, approach, encourage, entice or induce any employee or contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate his, her or its employment or engagement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
C.Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:
(i) the covenants set forth in this Paragraph 10 shall not apply to restrict any of Employee’s activities within the State of California, including if Employee is a California resident; and
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
(ii) the covenants set forth in Paragraphs 10(b)(i), 10(b)(ii) shall not apply with respect to any activities conducted within Washington, D.C., as such covenants shall not apply with respect to individuals’ performance of work in Washington, D.C.;
provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing exceptions under this Paragraph 10(c) shall not limit any other obligations that Employee owes to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any other agreements or applicable laws, including (without limitation) with respect to the protection of Confidential Information.
D.If Employee is an attorney at law or licensed lawyer in any jurisdiction, none of the restrictions set forth in this Paragraph 10 shall be interpreted or applied in a manner to prevent or restrict Employee from practicing law, as it is the intent of this Paragraph 10 to create certain limitations on Employee’s business activities only, and not to create limitations that would restrict Employee from practicing law. If Employee is an attorney at law or licensed to practice law, Employee acknowledges and agrees that, both during Employee’s employment with the Company and thereafter, Employee shall be bound by all ethical and professional obligations (including those with respect to conflicts of interest and confidentiality) that may arise from Employee’s provision of legal services to, and acting as legal counsel for, the Company and (as applicable) its Subsidiaries.
E.Employee agrees, both during and after Employee’s employment with the Company, not to use or disclose any Confidential Information other than for the benefit of the Company or its Subsidiaries in the course of Employee’s duties for the Company or its applicable Subsidiary. All trade secrets, non-public information, designs, ideas, concepts, improvements, product developments, discoveries and inventions, whether patentable or not, that are conceived, made, developed or acquired by or disclosed to Employee, individually or in conjunction with others, in connection with Employee’s employment with the Company or otherwise during the time that Employee is or has been employed or engaged by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (whether during business hours or otherwise and whether on the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ premises or otherwise), that relate to the Companies’ or its Subsidiaries’ businesses or properties, products or services (including all such information relating to corporate opportunities, operations, future plans, methods of doing business, business plans, formulas, strategies for developing business and market share, research, financial and sales data, pricing terms, evaluations, opinions, interpretations, acquisition prospects, the identity of customers or their requirements, research and development information, the identity of key contacts within customers’ organizations or within the organization of acquisition prospects, or marketing and merchandising techniques, prospective names and marks) is defined as “Confidential Information”. For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or wrongful act of Employee or Employee’s agents; (ii) was available to Employee on a non-confidential basis before its disclosure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (iii) becomes
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
available to Employee on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other obligation with respect to confidentiality to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
F.Notwithstanding the foregoing Paragraph 10(e), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict Employee from lawfully (i) initiating communications directly with, cooperating with, providing information to, causing information to be provided to, or otherwise assisting in an investigation by, any governmental authority (in each instance regarding a possible violation of any law); (ii) responding to any inquiry or legal process directed to Employee from any such governmental authority; (iii) testifying, participating or otherwise assisting in an action or proceeding by any such governmental authority relating to a possible violation of law or (iv) making any other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any applicable law. Additionally, pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (x) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (y) is made to Employee’s attorney in relation to a lawsuit for retaliation against Employee for reporting a suspected violation of law or (z) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Nothing in this Agreement requires Employee to obtain prior authorization before engaging in any conduct described in this paragraph, or to notify the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that Employee have engaged in any such conduct.
G.Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Company and its Subsidiaries as a result of a breach or threatened breach of the covenants set forth in this Paragraph 10, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused to the Company and its Subsidiaries for which they would have no other adequate remedy, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to enforce the foregoing covenants, in the event of a breach or threatened breach, by injunctions and restraining orders from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The aforementioned equitable relief shall not be the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ exclusive remedy for a breach but instead shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Company and each of its Subsidiaries at law and equity.
H.The covenants in this Paragraph 10, and each provision and portion hereof, are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant (or portion thereof) shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant (or portion thereof). Moreover, in the event any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which such arbitrator or court deems reasonable, and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed.
I.The following terms shall have the following meanings:
(i) “Business” shall mean the business and operations that are the same or similar to those performed by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries for which Employee provides services or about which Employee obtains Confidential Information during Employee’s employment with the Company.

(iv) “Prohibited Period” shall mean the period during which Employee is employed by the Company and continuing for a period of 12 months following the date that Employee is no longer employed by the Company; provided, however, with respect to a termination of employment with the Company on or after the date upon which a Corporate Change occurs, the Prohibited Period shall end on the date of such termination of employment with respect to the obligations under Paragraphs 10(b)(i) and 10(b)(ii).
11.Compliance with Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the shares of Stock, the Company shall not be required to deliver any shares issuable upon settlement of the Performance Stock Units prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the shares under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. Employee understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the shares with the SEC or any state or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the shares.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas, U.S.A., except to the extent that it implicates matters that are the subject of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which matters shall be governed by the latter law notwithstanding any conflicts of laws principles that may be applied or invoked directing the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Exclusive venue for any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this Agreement, relating to it or arising from it, or dispute resolution proceeding arising hereunder for any claim or dispute, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of Houston, Harris County, Texas, notwithstanding any conflicts of laws principles that may direct the jurisdiction of any other court, venue, or forum, including the jurisdiction of Employee’s home country.
14.Language. Employee acknowledges and represents that he or she is proficient in the English language or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, as to allow Employee to understand the terms of this Agreement and any other documents related to the Plan. If Employee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the translated version is different from the English version, the English version will control.
15.Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. Employee acknowledges that, depending on Employee’s country of residence or the country of residence of Employee’s broker, Employee may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect Employee’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Stock, rights to shares of Stock (e.g., Performance Stock Units) or rights linked to the value of shares of Stock during such times as Employee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company, as defined by the laws or regulations in Employee’s country. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders placed by Employee before Employee possessed inside information. Furthermore, Employee could be prohibited from (i) disclosing inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Keep in mind third parties include fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy.

Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
17.Severability. If one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed null and void; however, to the extent permissible by law, any provisions which could be deemed null and void shall first be construed, interpreted or revised retroactively to permit this Agreement to be construed so as to foster the intent of this Agreement and the Plan.
18.Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any provision in this Agreement would result in the imposition of an applicable tax under Section 409A of the Code and related regulations and United States Department of the Treasury pronouncements (“Section 409A”), that provision will be reformed to avoid imposition of the applicable tax and no action taken to comply with Section 409A shall be deemed to adversely affect Employee’s rights under this Agreement.

The Addendum constitutes part of this Agreement.
20.Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Employee’s participation in the Plan, on the Performance Stock Units and on any shares of Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Employee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

affect Employee’s ability to acquire or hold shares of Stock under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan in a brokerage or bank account outside Employee’s country. Employee may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in Employee’s country. Employee may also be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of Employee’s participation in the Plan to Employee’s country through a designated bank or broker and/or within a certain time after receipt.

Addendum
KBR, INC.
Terms and Conditions of Performance Stock Unit Grant
SPECIAL PROVISIONS OF PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS
IN CERTAIN COUNTRIES
This Addendum includes special country-specific terms that apply to residents in countries listed below. This Addendum is part of the Agreement. Unless otherwise provided below, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan and the Agreement.
This Addendum also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which Employee should be aware with respect to Employee’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of February 2020. Such laws are often complex, change frequently, certain individual exchange control reporting requirements may apply upon vesting of Performance Stock Units and/or sale of Stock and results may be different based on the particular facts and circumstances. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Employee does not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of Employee’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time Employee’s Performance Stock Units vest or Employee sells shares of Stock acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to Employee’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Employee of any particular result. Accordingly, Employee should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in Employee’s country may apply to Employee’s situation.
If Employee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the country in which Employee is working, or if Employee transfers employment after the Performance Stock Units are granted to Employee, the information contained in this Addendum for the country Employee works in at the time of grant may not be applicable to Employee and the Company, in its discretion, may determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to Employee. If Employee transfers residency and/or employment to another country or is considered a resident of another country listed in the Addendum after the Performance Stock Units are granted to Employee, the terms and/or information contained for that new country (rather than the original grant country) may be applicable to Employee.

The offer of Performance Stock Units under the Plan to Australian resident employees is intended to comply with the provisions of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (“Corporations Act”), Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) Regulatory Guide 49 and ASIC Class Order 14/1000.
Additional Documents.
In addition to the information set out in the Agreement, including this Addendum, Employee is also being provided with copies of the following documents:
(a)the Plan; and
(b)the Plan prospectus.
(collectively, the “Additional Documents”). The Additional Documents provide further information to help Employee make an informed investment decision about participating in the Plan. Neither the Plan nor the Plan prospectus is a prospectus for the purposes of the Corporations Act.
Employee should not rely upon any oral statements made in relation to this offer. Employee should rely only upon the statements contained in the Agreement, including this Addendum, and the Additional Documents when considering participation in the Plan.
General Information Only.
The information herein is general information only. It is not advice or information that takes into account any Employees’ objectives and financial situation.
Employees should consider obtaining their own financial product advice from a person who is licensed by ASIC to give such advice.
Risk Factors for Australian Residents.
Employee should have regard to risk factors relevant to investment in securities generally and, in particular, to the holding of shares of Stock. For example, the price at which a share of Stock is quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) may increase or decrease due to a number of factors. There is no guarantee that the price of a share of Stock will increase. Factors which may affect the price of a share of Stock include fluctuations in the domestic and international market for the listed stocks, general economic conditions, including interest rates, inflation rates, legislation or regulation, the nature of the markets in which the Company operates and general operational and business risks.
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (ADDENDUM)
More information about potential factors that could affect the Company’s business and financial results is included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings the Company may make from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Copies of these reports are available at http://sec.gov and upon request to the Company.
In addition, Employee should be aware that the Australian dollar value of the shares of Stock Employee may acquire under the Plan will be affected by the U.S./Australian dollar exchange rate. Participating in the Plan involves risks related to fluctuations in this rate of exchange.
Common Stock in a U.S. Corporation.
Common stock of a U.S. corporation is analogous to ordinary shares of an Australian corporation. Each holder of a share of Stock is entitled to one vote. Further, shares of Stock are not liable to any further calls for payment of capital or for other assessment by the Company and have no sinking fund provisions, pre-emptive rights, conversion rights or redemption provisions.
Ascertaining the Market Price of Shares.
Employee may ascertain the market price of a share of Stock by obtaining the current trading price of a share on the NYSE at https://www.nyse.com/index under the ticker “KBR”. The Australian dollar equivalent of that price can be obtained at: http://www.rba.gov.au/statistics/frequency/exchange-rates.html.
This will not be a prediction of the market price of an individual share when such shares are acquired under the Plan or of the applicable exchange rate on the acquisition date.
Tax Information.
The Plan is a plan to which subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies (subject to conditions in the Act).
Exchange Control Information.

Notwithstanding any discretion in the Plan or anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the award of Performance Stock Units does not provide any right for Employee to receive a cash payment and shall be paid in shares of Stock only.
Foreign Account/Asset Tax Reporting Information.
Employee may be required to report his or her specified foreign property on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of his or her specified foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time in the year. Foreign specified property includes cash, any shares of Stock issued to Employee upon vesting and settlement of the Award as well as the Performance Stock Units. Performance Stock Units must be reported - generally at a nil cost - if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign property that Employee holds. If shares of Stock are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”). The ACB would normally equal the fair market value of the shares of Stock issued to Employee upon vesting and settlement of the Award, but if Employee owns other shares, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares. The Form T1135 is required for every year during which foreign specified property exceeds C$100,000 and must be filed with Employee’s annual tax return.

Acknowledgement of the Agreement.
In accepting the award of Performance Stock Units, Employee acknowledges that Employee has received a copy of the Plan, has reviewed the Plan and the Agreement in their entirety and fully understands and accepts all provisions of the Plan and the Agreement. Employee further acknowledges that Employee has read and specifically and expressly approves the terms and conditions of Paragraph 7 of the Agreement, in which the following is clearly described and established:
(1) Employee’s participation in the Plan does not constitute an acquired right.
(2) The Plan and Employee’s participation in the Plan are offered by the Company on a wholly discretionary basis.
(3) Employee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary.
(4) The Company and its Subsidiaries are not responsible for any decrease in the value of the underlying shares of Stock.
Labor Law Acknowledgement and Policy Statement.
In accepting the award of Performance Stock Units, Employee expressly recognizes that KBR, Inc., with registered offices at 601 Jefferson Street, Suite 3400, Houston, Texas 77002, U.S.A., is solely responsible for the administration of the Plan and that Employee’s participation in the Plan and acquisition of shares of Stock does not constitute an employment relationship between Employee and KBR, Inc. since Employee is participating in the Plan on a wholly commercial basis and Employee’s sole employer is a Subsidiary of the Company in Mexico (“KBR-Mexico”), not KBR, Inc. in the U.S. Based on the foregoing, Employee expressly recognizes that the Plan and the benefits that Employee may derive from participation in the Plan do not establish any rights between Employee and Employee’s employer, KBR-Mexico, and do not form part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by KBR-Mexico and any modification of the Plan or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of Employee’s employment.

PERFORMANCE AWARD AGREEMENT
Grant Date:____________
Re: Performance Unit Grant
I am pleased to inform you that KBR, Inc. (the “Company”) has granted you Performance Units under the Company’s 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”) subject to the terms and conditions in the Plan and as set forth in this Performance Award Agreement, including any exhibits attached hereto (collectively, the “Agreement”) as follows:
1. Grant of Performance Units.
The number of Performance Units granted to you as a Performance Award under the Plan is _______. Each Performance Unit shall have a target value of $1.00. The actual value, if any, of a Performance Unit at the end of the Performance Period (as defined in Exhibit A) will, subject to Paragraph 3 below, be determined based on the level of achievement during the Performance Period of the performance objectives set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which is made a part hereof for all purposes. Eighty percent of the Performance Units shall be “Tranche One PUs” and twenty percent of the Performance Units shall be “Tranche Two PUs.”
2. Terms of Performance Units.
(a) Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in subparagraphs (b) and (d) below, you will vest in the Performance Units earned (if any) for the Performance Period only if you are an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary on the date such earned Performance Units are paid, as provided in Paragraph 3 below.
In addition, except as otherwise provided in subparagraphs (b) and (d) below, you shall, for no consideration, forfeit all of the Tranche Two PUs on December 31, 2021, if the Committee that administers the Plan (the “Committee”) determines, in its sole discretion, that calendar year 2021 was not a successful year for the Company. Any such determination by the Committee shall be made on or before March 31, 2022.
(b) Death, Disability or Retirement. Unless otherwise provided in an agreement pursuant to Paragraph 14, if you cease to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary as a result of (i) your death, (ii) your permanent disability (disability being defined as being physically or mentally incapable of performing either your usual duties as an employee or any other duties as an employee that the Company reasonably makes available and such condition is likely to remain continuously and permanently, as determined by the Company or employing Subsidiary), or (iii) your retirement with the approval of (A) the Committee if you are a “senior executive of the Company” (as defined below) or (B) the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) if you are not a senior executive of the Company (with such approval to be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH ONLY)
Committee or the CEO, as applicable), then, in any such case, a prorata portion of your Performance Units that become “earned”, if any, as provided in Exhibit A, will become vested; provided, however, that if the Tranche Two PUs have been forfeited pursuant to the last two sentences of subparagraph (a) above prior to the occurrence of an event described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this sentence, then the Tranche Two PUs shall remain forfeited, no portion of the Tranche Two PUs will vest upon the occurrence of any such event, and the prorata portion of your Performance Units that become “earned”, if any, and that may become vested pursuant to this sentence shall be determined based solely upon the Tranche One PUs. The “prorata portion” that becomes vested shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period in which you were an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Performance Period. If your termination for the above reasons is after the end of the Performance Period but before payment of the Performance Units earned, if any, for such Performance Period, you will be fully vested in any such earned Performance Units that have not yet been forfeited and which are still outstanding. “Senior executive of the Company” for purposes of this Agreement shall mean (i) the CEO and (ii) any regular, full-time employee of the Company or an affiliate who (A) is an officer of the Company required to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (B) is an officer of the Company who reports directly to the CEO, (C) is the Chief Accounting Officer of the Company, or (D) is the highest ranking management position (with at least a title of Director or above) with direct oversight over internal audits of the Company.
(c) Other Terminations. If you terminate employment from the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason other than as provided in subparagraph (b) above or subparagraph (d) below or if you breach any of the covenants set forth in Paragraph 6, all unvested Performance Units held by you shall be forfeited without payment immediately upon such termination or the occurrence of such breach (as applicable).
(d) Corporate Change. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, unless otherwise provided in an agreement pursuant to Paragraph 14, your Performance Units shall become fully vested at the maximum earned percentage provided in Exhibit A upon your Involuntary Termination or termination for Good Reason within two years following a Corporate Change (as provided in the Plan) (a “Double Trigger Event”) during the Performance Period; provided, however, that if the Tranche Two PUs have been forfeited pursuant to the last two sentences of subparagraph (a) above prior to the occurrence of a Double Trigger Event, then the Tranche Two PUs shall remain forfeited, no portion of the Tranche Two PUs will vest upon the occurrence of the Double Trigger Event, and the portion of your Performance Units that become vested pursuant to this sentence shall be determined based solely upon the Tranche One PUs. If a Double Trigger Event occurs after the end of the Performance Period and prior to payment of the earned Performance Units, you will be 100% vested in your earned Performance Units that have not yet been forfeited and which are still outstanding upon the Double
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH ONLY)
Trigger Event and payment will be made in accordance with the results achieved for the Performance Period ended as provided in Exhibit A.
For purposes of this Agreement, employment with the Company includes employment with a Subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly provided that you shall be considered to have terminated employment with the Company at the time of the termination of the “Subsidiary” status under the Plan of the entity or other organization that employs you.
3. Payment of Vested Performance Units. As soon as administratively practicable after the end of the Performance Period, but no later than the March 15th following the end of the Performance Period, or with respect to a Double Trigger Event occurring prior to the end of the Performance Period, the date of the Double Trigger Event (but no later than the March 15th following the calendar year in which occurs the date of the Double Trigger Event), you shall be entitled to receive from the Company a payment in cash equal to the product of the Payout Percentage (as defined in Exhibit A) and the sum of the target values of your vested Performance Units; provided, however, that such payment amount may be reduced, but not increased, by any amount (including a reduction resulting in a payment of $0) in the sole discretion of (a) the Committee if you are a senior executive of the Company or (b) the CEO if you are not a senior executive of the Company (provided, further, that any such discretion to reduce such payment amount may not be exercised by the Committee or the CEO, as applicable, at any time after the occurrence of a Corporate Change). Except as provided in Exhibit A with respect to a Double Trigger Event, if the performance thresholds set forth in Exhibit A are not met, no payment shall be made with respect to the Performance Units, whether or not vested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the amount paid to you by the Company in any year with respect to Performance Units earned hereunder exceed the applicable limit under Article V of the Plan.
4. Recovery of Payment of Vested Performance Units. If, within the three-year period beginning on the date that you receive a payment pursuant to Paragraph 3, the basis upon which the performance measurements were achieved during any calendar year of the Performance Period changes because of any restatement of or revision to the Company’s financial results, shareholder return, or any other performance measure for the same calendar year, regardless of fault, and the value of the Performance Units earned at the end of the Performance Period is determined to have resulted in an overpayment based on such calendar year’s restated or revised financial results, shareholder return or other performance measure, the Committee (or the CEO if you are not a senior executive of the Company) may, in its sole and absolute discretion, seek recovery of the amount of the Performance Award determined to be an overpayment or hold the overpayment as debit against future Awards for up to a three-year period following the end of the Performance Period. In addition, the Company may seek recovery of any benefits provided to you under this Agreement if such recovery is required by any clawback policy adopted by the Company, which may be amended from time to time, including, but not limited to, any clawback policy adopted to satisfy the minimum clawback requirements adopted under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the regulations thereunder or any other applicable law or securities exchange listing standard.
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH ONLY)
The Company reserves the right, without your consent, to adopt any such clawback policy, including, but not limited to, such clawback policies applicable to this Performance Award with retroactive effect.
5. Limitations Upon Transfer. All rights under this Agreement shall belong to you and may not be transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise), other than by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution or, if you are exclusively subject to the laws of the United States, pursuant to a “qualified domestic relations order” (as defined by the Code), and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of such rights contrary to the provisions in this Agreement or the Plan, or upon the levy of any attachment or similar process upon such rights, such rights shall immediately become null and void.
6. Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Non-Disclosure.
(a) Following the date you enter into this Agreement, the Company and/or its Subsidiary(ies) shall provide you access to Confidential Information (as defined below). Such Confidential Information shall be for use only during your employment with the Company, and as an express incentive for the Company to enter into this Agreement and to grant to you the Performance Units (which grant, you acknowledge, shall further align your interests with the long-term business interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries) and provide you with Confidential Information, you have voluntarily agreed to the covenants set forth in this Paragraph 6. You agree and acknowledge that the limitations and restrictions set forth herein, including geographical and temporal restrictions on certain competitive activities, are reasonable in all respects, do not interfere with public interests, will not cause you undue hardship, and are material and substantial parts of this Agreement intended and necessary to prevent unfair competition and to protect the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ trade secrets and other Confidential Information, goodwill and legitimate business interests.
(b) During the Prohibited Period (as defined below), you shall not, without the prior written approval of the Company, directly or indirectly, for yourself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person or entity of any nature:
(i) engage in or participate within the Market Area (as defined below) in competition with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any aspect of the Business (as defined below), which prohibition shall prevent you from directly or indirectly: (A) owning, managing, operating, or being an officer or director of, any business that competes with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the Market Area, or (B) joining, becoming an employee or consultant of, or otherwise being affiliated with, any person or entity engaged in, or planning to engage in, the Business in the Market Area in competition, or anticipated competition, with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any capacity (with respect to this clause (B)) in which your duties or responsibilities are the same as or similar to the duties or responsibilities that you had on behalf of the Company or any of its
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH ONLY)
Subsidiaries, or involve direct or indirect oversight over such duties or responsibilities;
(ii) appropriate any Business Opportunity of, or relating to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries located in the Market Area;
(iii) solicit, canvass, approach, encourage, entice or induce any customer or supplier of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for whom or which you had responsibility in the final 12 months prior to the termination of your employment with the Company to cease or lessen such customer’s or supplier’s business with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or
(iv) solicit, canvass, approach, encourage, entice or induce any employee or contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate his, her or its employment or engagement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

(ii) the covenants set forth in Paragraphs 6(b)(i), 6(b)(ii) shall not apply with respect to any activities conducted within Washington, D.C., as such covenants shall not apply with respect to individuals’ performance of work in Washington, D.C.;
provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing exceptions under this Paragraph 6(c) shall not limit any other obligations that you owe to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any other agreements or applicable laws, including (without limitation) with respect to the protection of Confidential Information.
(d) If you are an attorney at law or licensed lawyer in any jurisdiction, none of the restrictions set forth in this Paragraph 6 shall be interpreted or applied in a manner to prevent or restrict you from practicing law, as it is the intent of this Paragraph 6 to create certain limitations on your business activities only, and not to create limitations that would restrict you from practicing law. If you are an attorney at law or licensed to practice law, you acknowledge and agree that, both during your employment with the Company and thereafter, you shall be bound by all ethical and professional obligations (including those with respect to conflicts of interest and confidentiality) that may arise from your provision of legal services to, and acting as legal counsel for, the Company and (as applicable) its Subsidiaries.
(e) You agree, both during and after your employment with the Company, not to use or disclose any Confidential Information other than for the benefit of the Company or its Subsidiaries in the course of your duties for the Company or its applicable Subsidiary. All trade secrets, non-public information, designs, ideas,
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH ONLY)
concepts, improvements, product developments, discoveries and inventions, whether patentable or not, that are conceived, made, developed or acquired by or disclosed to you, individually or in conjunction with others, in connection with your employment with the Company or otherwise during the time that you are or have been employed or engaged by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (whether during business hours or otherwise and whether on the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ premises or otherwise), that relate to the Companies’ or its Subsidiaries’ businesses or properties, products or services (including all such information relating to corporate opportunities, operations, future plans, methods of doing business, business plans, formulas, strategies for developing business and market share, research, financial and sales data, pricing terms, evaluations, opinions, interpretations, acquisition prospects, the identity of customers or their requirements, research and development information, the identity of key contacts within customers’ organizations or within the organization of acquisition prospects, or marketing and merchandising techniques, prospective names and marks) is defined as “Confidential Information”. For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or wrongful act of you or your agents; (ii) was available to you on a non-confidential basis before its disclosure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (iii) becomes available to you on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other obligation with respect to confidentiality to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing Paragraph 6(e), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict you from lawfully (i) initiating communications directly with, cooperating with, providing information to, causing information to be provided to, or otherwise assisting in an investigation by, any governmental authority (in each instance regarding a possible violation of any law); (ii) responding to any inquiry or legal process directed to you from any such governmental authority; (iii) testifying, participating or otherwise assisting in an action or proceeding by any such governmental authority relating to a possible violation of law or (iv) making any other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any applicable law. Additionally, pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, you shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (x) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (y) is made to your attorney in relation to a lawsuit for retaliation against you for reporting a suspected violation of law or (z) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Nothing in this Agreement requires you to obtain prior authorization before engaging in any conduct described in this paragraph, or to notify the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that you have engaged in any such conduct.
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH ONLY)
(g) Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Company and its Subsidiaries as a result of a breach or threatened breach of the covenants set forth in this Paragraph 6, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused to the Company and its Subsidiaries for which they would have no other adequate remedy, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to enforce the foregoing covenants, in the event of a breach or threatened breach, by injunctions and restraining orders from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The aforementioned equitable relief shall not be the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ exclusive remedy for a breach but instead shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Company and each of its Subsidiaries at law and equity.
(h) The covenants in this Paragraph 6, and each provision and portion hereof, are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant (or portion thereof) shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant (or portion thereof). Moreover, in the event any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which such arbitrator or court deems reasonable, and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed.
(i) The following terms shall have the following meanings:
(i) “Business” shall mean the business and operations that are the same or similar to those performed by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries for which you provide services or about which you obtain Confidential Information during your employment with the Company.
(ii) “Business Opportunity” shall mean any commercial, investment or other business opportunity relating to the Business.
(iii) “Market Area” shall mean: (i) during that portion of the Prohibited Period that exists during which you are employed by the Company, any geographic area or market where you provide, or have provided, services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and (ii) during that portion of the Prohibited Period that exists following the date that you are no longer employed by the Company, any geographic area or market where you provided services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the date you are no longer employed by the Company or during the 12 months prior to such date.
(iv) “Prohibited Period” shall mean the period during which you are employed by the Company and continuing for a period of 12 months following the date that you are no longer employed by the Company; provided, however, with respect to a termination of employment with the Company on or after the date upon which a Corporate Change occurs, the Prohibited
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH ONLY)
Period shall end on the date of such termination of employment with respect to the obligations under Paragraphs 6(b)(i) and 6(b)(ii).
7. Withholding of Tax. You acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, your employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (1) do not make representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Performance Units including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or payout of the Performance Units; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the Performance Units or any aspect of the Performance Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or your Employer or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (a) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or your Employer, or (b) withholding from the payout of the Performance Units.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Performance Units. You agree to pay the Company or the Employer, including through withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company or the Employer, any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver the cash settlement, or any other form of pay-out for the Performance Units, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Paragraph 7, your liability with respect to Tax-Related Items shall be subject to any international tax assignment agreement then in effect between you and the Company, the Employer or any of their respective affiliates or any tax policies or procedures applicable to your home country, and in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Paragraph 7 and the terms of such international tax
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH ONLY)
assignment agreement or such tax policies or procedures, the terms of such international tax assignment agreement or such tax policies or procedures, as applicable, shall control.
8. Nature of Grant. In accepting the Performance Units, you acknowledge, understand and agree that: (a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan; (b) the grant of the Performance Units is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Performance Units, or benefits in lieu of Performance Units, even if Performance Units have been granted in the past; (c) all decisions with respect to future Performance Units or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (d) the grant of Performance Units and your participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or service contract with the Company, your Employer, or any Subsidiary and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate your employment or service relationship (if any); (e) you are voluntarily participating in the Plan; (f) the Performance Units, and the income and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; (g) the Performance Units, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, holiday-pay, bonuses, long-service awards, leave-related payments, pension or retirement benefits or similar mandatory payments; (h) the future value of the Performance Units is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; (i) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the forfeiture of the Performance Units resulting from you ceasing to provide employment or other services to the Company or your Employer (for any reason whatsoever whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any); (j) in the event of involuntary termination of your active employment or other services (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, your right to vest in the Performance Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively providing services and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., active services would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), except as expressly provided herein, and that the Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Performance Units (including whether you may still be considered to be providing services while on an approved leave of absence); (k) unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Performance Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Performance Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of the Company; (l) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Performance Units, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, services you may
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH ONLY)
provide as a director of a Subsidiary; (m) if you are requested to make repayment under Paragraph 4, you will make repayment immediately; and (n) the following provisions apply only if you are providing services outside the United States: (i) the Performance Units, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose; and (ii) neither the Company, the Employer nor any Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between your local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Performance Units or the subsequent payout of the Performance Units.
9. No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan. You should consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
10. Data Privacy.
i.Declaration of Consent. By accepting the Performance Units via the Company’s acceptance procedure, you are declaring that you agree with the data processing practices described herein and consent to the collection, processing and use of Data by the Company and the transfer of Data to the recipients mentioned below, including recipients located in countries which may not have a similar level of protection from the perspective of the data protection laws in your country.
ii.Data Collection and Usage. The Company and the Employer may collect, process and use certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company and details of all Performance Units, whether vested or unvested, held in your favor (“Data”), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is your consent.
iii.Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company may select a service provider to assist in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan and the Company may share Data with such service provider. In such case, you may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider(s), which will be a condition of your ability to participate in the Plan.
iv.International Data Transfers. The Company is based in the United States, which means that it will be necessary for Data to be transferred to, and processed in, the United States. You understand that your country may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the laws of the United States. For example, the European Commission has issued only a limited adequacy finding with respect to the United States that applies solely if and to the extent that companies self-certify and remain self-certified under the EU/U.S. Privacy Shield program. As a result, in the absence of appropriate safeguards such as standard data protection clauses, the processing of your Data in the United States or, as the case may be, other countries might not be subject to substantive data processing principles or supervision by data protection
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH ONLY)
authorities. In addition, you might not have enforceable rights regarding the processing of your Data in such countries. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of Data is your consent.
v.Data Retention. The Company will hold and use the Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, labor and exchange control laws.
vi.Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. You understand that you may withdraw consent at any time with future effect for any or no reason. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your salary from or employment and career with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to offer Performance Units to you or administer or maintain your participation in the Plan.
vii.Data Subject Rights. You understand that data subject rights vary depending on the applicable law and that, depending on where you are based and subject to the conditions set out in the applicable law, you may have, without limitation, the rights to (i) request access or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) rectification of incorrect Data, (iii) deletion of Data, (iv) restrictions on processing of Data, (v) portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, you understand that you can contact your local human resources representative.

By clicking the “Accept” or similar button implemented into the relevant web page or platform, you declare, without limitation, your consent to the data processing operations described in this Agreement. You understand and acknowledge that you may withdraw consent at any time with future effect for any or no reason as described in sub-section (vi) above.

11. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Company or upon any person lawfully claiming under you.
12. Modification. Except to the extent permitted by the Plan, any modification of this Agreement will be effective only if it is in writing and signed by each party whose rights hereunder are affected thereby.
13. Plan Controls. This grant is subject to the terms of the Plan, which are hereby incorporated by reference. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall be the controlling document. Capitalized terms used herein or in Exhibit A and not otherwise defined herein or in Exhibit A shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH ONLY)
14. Other Agreements. The terms of this Agreement shall be subject to and governed by, and shall not modify, the terms and conditions of any employment, severance, and/or change-in-control agreement between the Company (or a Subsidiary) and you (“Other Agreement”), except that, notwithstanding anything in such Other Agreement to the contrary, any normal retirement age of 65 or other retirement-based vesting, payment or benefit provisions in such Other Agreement shall be of no force or effect for all purposes of the Performance Units granted under this Agreement.
15. Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any document related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
16. Severability. If one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed null and void; however, to the extent permissible by law, any provisions which could be deemed null and void shall first be construed, interpreted or revised retroactively to permit this Agreement to be construed so as to foster the intent of this Agreement and the Plan.
17. Language. You acknowledge and represent that you are proficient in the English language or have consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, as to allow you to understand the terms of this Agreement and any other documents related to the Plan. If you have received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the translated version is different from the English version, the English version will control.
18. Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas, U.S.A., except to the extent that it implicates matters that are the subject of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which matters shall be governed by the latter law notwithstanding any conflicts of laws principles that may be applied or invoked directing the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. The parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of Houston, Harris County, Texas, as exclusive venue for any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this Agreement, relating to it or arising from it, or dispute resolution proceeding arising hereunder for any claim or dispute, notwithstanding any conflicts of laws principles that may direct the jurisdiction of any other court, venue, or forum, including the jurisdiction of the employee’s home country.
19. Compliance with Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the Performance Units, the Company shall not be required to deliver any payment from the payout of the Performance Units prior to the completion of any registration or qualification under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH ONLY)
and Exchange Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval, the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. You understand that the Company is under no obligation to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for payout of the Performance Units. Further, you agree that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and the Agreement without your consent to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable law prior to the payout of the Performance Units.
20. Exhibit B. Notwithstanding any provisions in this document, the Performance Units shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit B to this Agreement for your country. Moreover, if you relocate to one of the countries included in Exhibit B, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to you, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. Exhibit B constitutes part of this Agreement.
21. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on your participation in the Plan and on the Performance Units, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require you to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
22. Waiver. You acknowledge that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by you or any other participant.
23. Foreign Asset/Account Reporting, Exchange Control Requirements. Certain foreign asset and/or foreign account reporting requirements and exchange controls may affect your ability to hold cash received from participating in the Plan in a brokerage or bank account outside your country. You may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in your country. You may also be required to repatriate funds received as a result of your participation in the Plan to your country through a designated bank or broker and/or within a certain time after receipt. You are responsible for complying with any applicable regulations and you should consult your personal legal and tax advisors for any details.

EXHIBIT A
To Performance Award Agreement
Performance Goals
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, the provisions of this Exhibit A shall determine the extent, if any, that the Performance Units become “earned” and payable.
I. Performance Period
The Performance Period shall be the period beginning January 1, 2021, and ending December 31, 2023.
II. Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”)
The payment of a Performance Unit will be determined, in part, based on the comparison of (i) the average of the TSRs (as defined below) of the Company’s common stock measured at the end of each calendar quarter during the Performance Period, with each quarter’s TSR indexed back to the beginning of the calendar year in which such calendar quarter occurs, to (ii) the average of the TSRs of each of the common stocks of the members of the Peer Group measured at the end of each calendar quarter during the Performance Period, with each quarter’s TSR indexed back to the beginning of the calendar year in which such calendar quarter occurs.
“TSR” or “Total Shareholder Return” shall mean, with respect to a calendar quarter, the change in the price of a share of common stock from the beginning of the calendar year in which such calendar quarter occurs (as measured by the simple average of the closing prices of a share of such stock trading during regular trading hours for the last twenty trading days preceding the beginning of such calendar year) until the end of the applicable calendar quarter to be measured during the Performance Period (as measured by the simple average of the closing prices of a share of such stock trading during regular trading hours for the last twenty trading days of the calendar quarter), adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends (if any) through the purchase of common stock at the closing price on the corresponding dividend payment date, which shall be the ex-dividend date, and rounded to the first decimal place. Dividends per share paid other than in the form of cash shall have a value equal to the amount of such dividends reported by the issuer to its shareholders for purposes of Federal income taxation.
A.Average TSR
The average TSR for a company for the Performance Period shall be the sum of the TSRs of the company measured at the end of each calendar quarter during the Performance Period, divided by 12. The average TSR for a company during the Performance Period shall be calculated based on the following formula:

B.Peer Group and TSR Payout
Once the average TSR for the Company during the Performance Period is calculated, the average TSR for each company in the Peer Group shall be calculated.
The Peer Group shall consist of the following companies (including KBR, Inc.):
Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation ManTech International Corporation
CACI International Inc Parsons Corporation
Fluor Corporation Perspecta Inc.
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. Science Applications International Corporation
Leidos Holdings, Inc Unisys Corporation
No company shall be added to, or removed from, the Peer Group during the Performance Period, except that a company shall be removed from the Peer Group if during such period (i) such company ceases to maintain publicly available statements of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP, (ii) such company is not the surviving entity in any merger, consolidation, or other reorganization (or survives only as a subsidiary of an entity other than a previously wholly owned entity of such company), or (iii) such company sells, leases, or exchanges all or substantially all of its assets to any other person or entity (other than a previously wholly owned entity of such company).
If one or more Peer Group companies are removed from the Peer Group, then the percentiles and TSR payouts will adjust for the change in “n” of the formula provided below; provided, however, that the adjustment must require at least a 90.0 percentile to receive the maximum TSR payout and at least a 20.0 percentile to receive the threshold TSR payout. After the average TSR is determined for the Company and each company in the Peer Group, the Company’s average TSR rank among the average TSRs for the Peer Group for the Performance Period and the Company’s applicable TSR payout percentage shall be determined by the following formula:

US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH ONLY) (EXHIBIT A)
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing or Part IV. of this Exhibit A, if on the Grant Date you are an employee of the Company or any employing Subsidiary of the Company who is either the CEO or a direct report to the CEO and the Company’s average TSR (as determined pursuant to Part II.A. of this Exhibit A) at the end of the Performance Period is negative (i.e., an index below 100), then no payment hereunder with respect to the TSR performance measure will exceed the Target (100%) payout under the TSR Peer Group Percentile and TSR Payout Table above; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply if, pursuant to the first sentence of Paragraph 2(d) of the Agreement, your outstanding Performance Units become fully vested at the maximum earned percentage provided in Exhibit A (200%) upon a Double Trigger Event occurring during the Performance Period.
III. Cumulative Net Income and Job Income Sold (“JIS”)
The payment of a Performance Unit will be determined, in part, based on the Cumulative Net Income Percentage. The “Cumulative Net Income Percentage” shall be determined as follows:
(i) if Cumulative Net Income exceeds $0, then the Cumulative Net Income Percentage shall equal 200%; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to an exercise of negative discretion, the Committee has determined that, if Cumulative Net Income exceeds $0, then in no event shall the Cumulative Net Income Percentage exceed the Average JIS Payout Ratio (subject to the last sentence of Part IV. of this Exhibit A);
(ii) if Cumulative Net Income does not exceed $0 and if the Average JIS Payout Ratio (determined by excluding all Excluded Projects from the determination of JIS and Target JIS) exceeds 0%, then the Cumulative Net Income Percentage shall equal the Average JIS Payout Ratio (determined by excluding all Excluded Projects from the determination of JIS and Target JIS and subject to the last sentence of Part IV. of this Exhibit A); and
(iii) if neither clause (i) nor (ii) above applies, then the Cumulative Net Income Percentage shall equal 0% (subject to the last sentence of Part IV. of this Exhibit A).
For purposes of Part III. of this Exhibit A, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Achieved JIS” means, with respect to a calendar year during the Performance Period, a percentage (rounded to one decimal place) determined by multiplying 100% by the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the JIS for such calendar year by (ii) the Target JIS for such calendar year.
“Average JIS Payout Ratio” means the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the JIS Payout Ratios for each of the three calendar years in the Performance Period by (ii) three.
“Cumulative Net Income” means the Company’s aggregate net income as reflected in its Form 10-Ks for the three years included in the Performance Period, adjusted to exclude: restructuring
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH ONLY) (EXHIBIT A)
charges; and one-time, non-operating related events, including, but not limited to, goodwill or intangible impairments, losses on the sale of assets, asset impairments, related to lawsuits, or related to the bankruptcy of a client that owes the Company money for services performed.
“Excluded Project” means a liquefied natural gas project determined by the Committee to have an individual value of $500 million or more of gross revenue.
“JIS” means, with respect to a calendar year, the Company’s and its consolidated subsidiaries job income from (i) new projects awarded during such calendar year and (ii) earnings growth, contract amendments (increases or decreases), or scope adjustments (increases or decreases) during such calendar year to projects existing on the first day of such calendar year. For clarity, JIS will exclude foreign exchange fluctuations (increases or decreases) and loss adjustments, if any, on existing contracts. To clarify further, job income adjustments reflected in item (ii) also apply to new projects awarded during the calendar year. For each calendar year, JIS shall be determined without regard to any Excluded Project; provided, however, that at the end of the Performance Period, except as otherwise provided in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Part III. of this Exhibit A, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion (which discretion may be (x) exercised differently with respect to the holder of this Performance Award and any other holder or holders of a similar type Award and (y) applied for purposes of determining the JIS and Target JIS applicable to an applicable calendar year within the Performance Period without being applied for purposes of determining the Target JIS for any other calendar year within the Performance Period), determine that JIS for such calendar year will be determined by including the Excluded Projects. In addition, for each calendar year, JIS shall be determined without regard to any business unit and/or business line that is discontinued prior to the end of the calendar year.
“JIS Payout Ratio” means, with respect to a calendar year during the Performance Period, the amount determined in accordance with the following table:

If Achieved JIS for the calendar year is between the Target Percentage and the Maximum Percentage under the first row of the table above, then the JIS Payout Ratio for such calendar year shall be determined by linear interpolation between Target (100%) and Maximum (200%) based on the Achieved JIS result. Each JIS Payout Ratio determined by linear interpolation shall be rounded to one decimal place.

“Maximum Percentage” means, with respect to a calendar year during the Performance Period, a percentage established by the Committee as the Maximum Percentage for such calendar year, which percentage shall be greater than the Target Percentage established by the Committee for such calendar year; provided, however, that for purposes of clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Part III. of this Exhibit A, the “Maximum Percentage” for each calendar year during the Performance Period shall be 120%.
“Target JIS” means, with respect to a calendar year during the Performance Period (such calendar year being a “Performance Year”), the JIS for the calendar year immediately preceding the Performance Year (such immediately preceding calendar year being the “Reference Year”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a business unit or business line is discontinued during a Performance Year, then the applicable Target JIS shall be redetermined to exclude job income for the applicable Reference Year that is attributable to such business unit or business line. Further, if, subject to the provisions of clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Part III. of this Exhibit A, the Committee determines in its discretion to determine JIS for a Performance Year by including Excluded Projects, then the related Target JIS for such Performance Year shall be redetermined by including Excluded Projects in the determination of the JIS for the Reference Year.
“Target Percentage” means, with respect to a calendar year during the Performance Period, a percentage established by the Committee as the Target Percentage for such calendar year, which percentage shall be greater than the Threshold Percentage and less than the Maximum Percentage established by the Committee for such calendar year; provided, however, that for purposes of clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Part III. of this Exhibit A, the “Target Percentage” for each calendar year during the Performance Period shall be 90%.
“Threshold Percentage” means, with respect to a calendar year during the Performance Period, a percentage established by the Committee as the Threshold Percentage for such calendar year, which percentage shall be less than the Target Percentage established by the Committee for such calendar year; provided, however, that for purposes of clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Part III. of this Exhibit A, the “Threshold Percentage” for each calendar year during the Performance Period shall be 60%.

For a result (the “Performance Percentage”) between Threshold and Target or Target and Maximum in Column B, the Performance Percentage earned shall be determined by linear interpolation between maximum and threshold based on the result achieved for the performance measure.
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH ONLY) (EXHIBIT A)
The “target” value of a Performance Unit is $1.00; its maximum value is $2.00 per unit if the maximum performance objective for the performance measure in Column B in the table above and the maximum Cumulative Net Income Percentage are achieved, and the Performance Unit value will be zero if the threshold performance objective for the performance measure in Column B in the table above is not achieved and the Cumulative Net Income Percentage is 0%. The value of an “earned” Performance Unit shall be determined by multiplying its “target” value of $1.00 by the Payout Percentage for the Performance Period, subject to reduction as provided in Paragraph 3 of the Agreement. The “Payout Percentage” for the Performance Period shall be equal to the sum of (i) the product of 50% and the Cumulative Net Income Percentage and (ii) the product obtained by multiplying Column A by the Column B Performance Percentage result for the TSR performance measure.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise provided in an agreement pursuant to Paragraph 14 of the Agreement, for purposes of determining the Payout Percentage for payment upon a Double Trigger Event occurring prior to the end of the Performance Period, (i) the Column B result for the TSR performance measure shall be deemed to have been met at the maximum level (200%) and (ii) the Cumulative Net Income Percentage shall be deemed to have been met at the maximum level (200%).
V. Adjustments to Performance Measurements for Significant Events
If, after the beginning of the Performance Period, there is a change in accounting standards required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the performance results shall be adjusted by the Company’s independent accountants as appropriate to disregard such change. In addition, the results of the Company or a peer group company shall be adjusted to reflect any stock splits or other events described in Article XIII of the Plan.
VI. Committee Certification
As soon as reasonably practical following the end of the Performance Period, but in no event later than the March 15th following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee shall review and determine the performance results for the Performance Period and certify those results in writing. No Performance Units earned and vested shall be payable prior to the Committee’s certification; provided, however, Committee certification shall not apply in the event of a Double Trigger Event, unless otherwise provided in an agreement pursuant to paragraph 14 of the Agreement.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS OF PERFORMANCE UNITS
IN CERTAIN COUNTRIES
This Exhibit B includes special country-specific terms that apply to residents in countries listed below. This Exhibit B is part of the Agreement. Unless otherwise provided below, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan and the Agreement.
This Exhibit B also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan. The information is based on the exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of April 2020. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. Note certain individual exchange control reporting requirements may apply upon vesting of the Performance Units and results may be different based on the particular facts and circumstances. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you do not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time your Performance Units vest or your Performance Units are settled under the Plan.
In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure you of any particular result. Accordingly, you should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation.
If you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the country in which you are working or if you transfer employment after the Performance Units are granted to you, the information contained in this Exhibit B for the country you work in at the time of grant may not be applicable to you and the Company, in its discretion, may determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to you. If you transfer residency and/or employment to another country or are considered a resident of another country listed in this Exhibit B after the Performance Units are granted to you, the terms and/or information contained for that new country (rather than the original grant country) may be applicable to you.

PERFORMANCE AWARD AGREEMENT
Grant Date:____________
Re: Performance Unit Grant
I am pleased to inform you that KBR, Inc. (the “Company”) has granted you two classes of performance units (one class being referred to as the “JIS Performance Units,” the other class being referred to as the “TSR Performance Units,” and the two classes collectively referred to as the “Performance Units”) under the Company’s 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”), subject to the terms and conditions in the Plan and as set forth in this Performance Award Agreement, including any exhibits attached hereto (collectively, the “Agreement”) as follows:
1. Grant of Performance Units.
The number of JIS Performance Units granted to you as a Performance Award under the Plan is _______. Each JIS Performance Unit shall have a target value of $1.00. The actual value, if any, of a JIS Performance Unit at the end of the Performance Period (as defined in Exhibit A) will, subject to Paragraph 3 below, be determined based on the level of achievement during the Performance Period of the JIS-related performance objectives set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which is made a part hereof for all purposes.
The target number of TSR Performance Units granted to you as a Performance Award under the Plan is _______. Each TSR Performance Unit represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock (“Stock”). The number of TSR Performance Units subject to this Agreement may be adjusted upward or downward in accordance with the level of achievement during the Performance Period of the TSR-related performance objectives set forth in Exhibit A hereto. You shall have no right to dividend equivalents with respect to any of the Performance Units.
Eighty percent of each class of the Performance Units shall be “Tranche One PUs” and twenty percent of each class of the Performance Units shall be “Tranche Two PUs.”
2. Terms of Performance Units.
(a) Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in subparagraphs (b) and (d) below, you will vest in the Performance Units earned (if any) for the Performance Period only if you are an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary on the date such earned Performance Units are paid, as provided in Paragraph 3 below.
In addition, except as otherwise provided in subparagraphs (b) and (d) below, you shall, for no consideration, forfeit all of the Tranche Two PUs on December 31, 2021, if the Committee that administers the Plan (the “Committee”) determines, in its sole discretion, that calendar year 2021 was not a successful year for the Company. Any such determination by the Committee shall be made on or before March 31, 2022.
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH/STOCK)
(b) Death, Disability or Retirement. Unless otherwise provided in an agreement pursuant to Paragraph 14, if you cease to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary as a result of (i) your death, (ii) your permanent disability (disability being defined as being physically or mentally incapable of performing either your usual duties as an employee or any other duties as an employee that the Company reasonably makes available and such condition is likely to remain continuously and permanently, as determined by the Company or employing Subsidiary), or (iii) your retirement with the approval of the Committee (with such approval to be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Committee), then, in any such case, a prorata portion of each class of your Performance Units that become “earned,” if any, as provided in Exhibit A, will become vested; provided, however, that if the Tranche Two PUs have been forfeited pursuant to the last two sentences of subparagraph (a) above prior to the occurrence of an event described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this sentence, then the Tranche Two PUs shall remain forfeited, no portion of the Tranche Two PUs will vest upon the occurrence of any such event, and the prorata portion of each class of your Performance Units that become “earned”, if any, and that may become vested pursuant to this sentence shall be determined based solely upon the Tranche One PUs. The “prorata portion” that becomes vested shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period in which you were an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Performance Period. If your termination for the above reasons is after the end of the Performance Period but before payment of the Performance Units earned, if any, for such Performance Period, you will be fully vested in any such earned Performance Units that have not yet been forfeited and which are still outstanding.
(c) Other Terminations. If you terminate employment from the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason other than as provided in subparagraph (b) above or subparagraph (d) below or if you breach any of the covenants set forth in Paragraph 6, all unvested Performance Units held by you shall be forfeited without payment immediately upon such termination or the occurrence of such breach (as applicable).
(d) Corporate Change. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, unless otherwise provided in an agreement pursuant to Paragraph 14, your Performance Units shall become fully vested at the maximum earned percentage provided in Exhibit A upon your Involuntary Termination or termination for Good Reason within two years following a Corporate Change (as provided in the Plan) (a “Double Trigger Event”) during the Performance Period; provided, however, that if the Tranche Two PUs have been forfeited pursuant to the last two sentences of subparagraph (a) above prior to the occurrence of a Double Trigger Event, then the Tranche Two PUs shall remain forfeited, no portion of the Tranche Two PUs will vest upon the occurrence of the Double Trigger Event, and the portion of your Performance Units that become vested pursuant to this sentence shall be determined based solely upon the Tranche One PUs. If a Double Trigger Event occurs after the end of the Performance Period and prior to payment of the earned
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH/STOCK)
Performance Units, you will be 100% vested in your earned Performance Units that have not yet been forfeited and which are still outstanding upon the Double Trigger Event and payment will be made in accordance with the results achieved for the Performance Period ended as provided in Exhibit A.
For purposes of this Agreement, employment with the Company includes employment with a Subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly provided that you shall be considered to have terminated employment with the Company at the time of the termination of the “Subsidiary” status under the Plan of the entity or other organization that employs you.
3. Payment of Vested Performance Units. As soon as administratively practicable after the end of the Performance Period, but no later than the March 15th following the end of the Performance Period, or with respect to a Double Trigger Event occurring prior to the end of the Performance Period, the date of the Double Trigger Event (but no later than the March 15th following the calendar year in which occurs the date of the Double Trigger Event), you shall be entitled to receive from the Company (a) a payment in cash equal to the product of the “Cumulative Net Income Percentage” (as defined in Exhibit A) and the sum of the target values of your vested JIS Performance Units and (b) a payment in a number of shares of Stock (rounded to the nearest wholes share) equal to the product of the “TSR Payout Percentage” (as determined in accordance with Exhibit A) and your vested target TSR Performance Units; provided, however, that such payment amounts may be reduced, but not increased, by any amount (including a reduction resulting in a payment of $0 and zero shares of Stock) in the sole discretion of the Committee and, in the case of any such reduction, the Committee shall determine the allocation of such reduction between the payments otherwise provided for in clauses (a) and (b) above (provided that any such discretion to reduce such payment amounts may not be exercised by the Committee at any time after the occurrence of a Corporate Change). Except as provided in Exhibit A with respect to a Double Trigger Event, if the performance thresholds set forth in Exhibit A with respect to a class of Performance Units are not met, no payment shall be made with respect to such class of Performance Units, whether or not vested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the amount paid to you by the Company in any year with respect to Performance Units earned hereunder exceed any applicable limit under Article V of the Plan. Further, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of Stock if counsel to the Company determines that such delivery would violate any applicable law or any rule or regulation of any governmental authority or any rule or regulation of, or agreement of the Company with, any securities exchange or association upon which the Stock is listed or quoted.
4. Recovery of Payment of Vested Performance Units. If, within the three-year period beginning on the date that you receive a payment pursuant to Paragraph 3, the basis upon which the performance measurements were achieved during any calendar year of the Performance Period changes because of any restatement of or revision to the Company’s financial results, shareholder return, or any other performance measure for the same calendar year, regardless of fault, and the value of the Performance Units earned at the end of the Performance Period is determined to have resulted in an overpayment based on such calendar year’s restated or revised financial results, shareholder return or other

performance measure, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, seek recovery of the amount of the Performance Award determined to be an overpayment or hold the overpayment as debit against future Awards for up to a three-year period following the end of the Performance Period. In addition, the Company may seek recovery of any benefits provided to you under this Agreement if such recovery is required by any clawback policy adopted by the Company, which may be amended from time to time, including, but not limited to, any clawback policy adopted to satisfy the minimum clawback requirements adopted under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the regulations thereunder or any other applicable law or securities exchange listing standard. The Company reserves the right, without your consent, to adopt any such clawback policy, including, but not limited to, such clawback policies applicable to this Performance Award with retroactive effect.
5. Limitations Upon Transfer. All rights under this Agreement shall belong to you and may not be transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise), other than by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution or, if you are exclusively subject to the laws of the United States, pursuant to a “qualified domestic relations order” (as defined by the Code), and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of such rights contrary to the provisions in this Agreement or the Plan, or upon the levy of any attachment or similar process upon such rights, such rights shall immediately become null and void.
6. Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Non-Disclosure.
(a) Following the date you enter into this Agreement, the Company and/or its Subsidiary(ies) shall provide you access to Confidential Information (as defined below). Such Confidential Information shall be for use only during your employment with the Company, and as an express incentive for the Company to enter into this Agreement and to grant to you the Performance Units (which grant, you acknowledge, shall further align your interests with the long-term business interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries) and provide you with Confidential Information, you have voluntarily agreed to the covenants set forth in this Paragraph 6. You agree and acknowledge that the limitations and restrictions set forth herein, including geographical and temporal restrictions on certain competitive activities, are reasonable in all respects, do not interfere with public interests, will not cause you undue hardship, and are material and substantial parts of this Agreement intended and necessary to prevent unfair competition and to protect the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ trade secrets and other Confidential Information, goodwill and legitimate business interests.
(b) During the Prohibited Period (as defined below), you shall not, without the prior written approval of the Company, directly or indirectly, for yourself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person or entity of any nature:
(i) engage in or participate within the Market Area (as defined below) in competition with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any aspect of the Business (as defined below), which prohibition shall prevent you from
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH/STOCK)
directly or indirectly: (A) owning, managing, operating, or being an officer or director of, any business that competes with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the Market Area, or (B) joining, becoming an employee or consultant of, or otherwise being affiliated with, any person or entity engaged in, or planning to engage in, the Business in the Market Area in competition, or anticipated competition, with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any capacity (with respect to this clause (B)) in which your duties or responsibilities are the same as or similar to the duties or responsibilities that you had on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or involve direct or indirect oversight over such duties or responsibilities;
(ii) appropriate any Business Opportunity of, or relating to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries located in the Market Area;
(iii) solicit, canvass, approach, encourage, entice or induce any customer or supplier of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for whom or which you had responsibility in the final 12 months prior to the termination of your employment with the Company to cease or lessen such customer’s or supplier’s business with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or
(iv) solicit, canvass, approach, encourage, entice or induce any employee or contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate his, her or its employment or engagement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:
(i) the covenants set forth in this Paragraph 6 shall not apply to restrict any of your activities within the State of California, including if you are a California resident; and
(ii) the covenants set forth in Paragraphs 6(b)(i), 6(b)(ii) shall not apply with respect to any activities conducted within Washington, D.C., as such covenants shall not apply with respect to individuals’ performance of work in Washington, D.C.;
provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing exceptions under this Paragraph 6(c) shall not limit any other obligations that you owe to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any other agreements or applicable laws, including (without limitation) with respect to the protection of Confidential Information.
(d) If you are an attorney at law or licensed lawyer in any jurisdiction, none of the restrictions set forth in this Paragraph 6 shall be interpreted or applied in a manner to prevent or restrict you from practicing law, as it is the intent of this Paragraph 6 to create certain limitations on your business activities only, and not to create limitations that would restrict you from practicing law. If you are an attorney at law or licensed to practice law, you acknowledge and agree that, both during your
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH/STOCK)
employment with the Company and thereafter, you shall be bound by all ethical and professional obligations (including those with respect to conflicts of interest and confidentiality) that may arise from your provision of legal services to, and acting as legal counsel for, the Company and (as applicable) its Subsidiaries.
(e) You agree, both during and after your employment with the Company, not to use or disclose any Confidential Information other than for the benefit of the Company or its Subsidiaries in the course of your duties for the Company or its applicable Subsidiary. All trade secrets, non-public information, designs, ideas, concepts, improvements, product developments, discoveries and inventions, whether patentable or not, that are conceived, made, developed or acquired by or disclosed to you, individually or in conjunction with others, in connection with your employment with the Company or otherwise during the time that you are or have been employed or engaged by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (whether during business hours or otherwise and whether on the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ premises or otherwise), that relate to the Companies’ or its Subsidiaries’ businesses or properties, products or services (including all such information relating to corporate opportunities, operations, future plans, methods of doing business, business plans, formulas, strategies for developing business and market share, research, financial and sales data, pricing terms, evaluations, opinions, interpretations, acquisition prospects, the identity of customers or their requirements, research and development information, the identity of key contacts within customers’ organizations or within the organization of acquisition prospects, or marketing and merchandising techniques, prospective names and marks) is defined as “Confidential Information”. For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or wrongful act of you or your agents; (ii) was available to you on a non-confidential basis before its disclosure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (iii) becomes available to you on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other obligation with respect to confidentiality to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing Paragraph 6(e), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict you from lawfully (i) initiating communications directly with, cooperating with, providing information to, causing information to be provided to, or otherwise assisting in an investigation by, any governmental authority (in each instance regarding a possible violation of any law); (ii) responding to any inquiry or legal process directed to you from any such governmental authority; (iii) testifying, participating or otherwise assisting in an action or proceeding by any such governmental authority relating to a possible violation of law or (iv) making any other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any applicable law. Additionally, pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, you shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (x) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH/STOCK)
indirectly, or to an attorney and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (y) is made to your attorney in relation to a lawsuit for retaliation against you for reporting a suspected violation of law or (z) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Nothing in this Agreement requires you to obtain prior authorization before engaging in any conduct described in this paragraph, or to notify the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that you have engaged in any such conduct.
(g) Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Company and its Subsidiaries as a result of a breach or threatened breach of the covenants set forth in this Paragraph 6, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused to the Company and its Subsidiaries for which they would have no other adequate remedy, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to enforce the foregoing covenants, in the event of a breach or threatened breach, by injunctions and restraining orders from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The aforementioned equitable relief shall not be the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ exclusive remedy for a breach but instead shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Company and each of its Subsidiaries at law and equity.
(h) The covenants in this Paragraph 6, and each provision and portion hereof, are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant (or portion thereof) shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant (or portion thereof). Moreover, in the event any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which such arbitrator or court deems reasonable, and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed.
(i) The following terms shall have the following meanings:
(i) “Business” shall mean the business and operations that are the same or similar to those performed by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries for which you provide services or about which you obtain Confidential Information during your employment with the Company.
(ii) “Business Opportunity” shall mean any commercial, investment or other business opportunity relating to the Business.
(iii) “Market Area” shall mean: (i) during that portion of the Prohibited Period that exists during which you are employed by the Company, any geographic area or market where you provide, or have provided, services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and (ii) during that portion of the Prohibited Period that exists following the date that you are no longer employed by the Company, any geographic area or market where you
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH/STOCK)
provided services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the date you are no longer employed by the Company or during the 12 months prior to such date.
(iv) “Prohibited Period” shall mean the period during which you are employed by the Company and continuing for a period of 12 months following the date that you are no longer employed by the Company; provided, however, with respect to a termination of employment with the Company on or after the date upon which a Corporate Change occurs, the Prohibited Period shall end on the date of such termination of employment with respect to the obligations under Paragraphs 6(b)(i) and 6(b)(ii).
7. Withholding of Tax. You acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, your employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (1) do not make representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Performance Units including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or payout of the Performance Units, the subsequent sale of any Stock that may be issued under this Agreement and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the Performance Units or any aspect of the Performance Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or your Employer or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (a) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or your Employer, or (b) withholding from the payout of the Performance Units; provided, however, that if you receive shares of Stock pursuant to Paragraph 3, then withholding with respect to such shares shall be in the form of shares of Stock.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Performance Units or, if applicable, any Stock that may have been issuable under this Agreement. You agree to pay the Company or the Employer, including through withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH/STOCK)
by the Company or the Employer, any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver the cash settlement, or any other form of pay-out for the Performance Units, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Paragraph 7, your liability with respect to Tax-Related Items shall be subject to any international tax assignment agreement then in effect between you and the Company, the Employer or any of their respective affiliates or any tax policies or procedures applicable to your home country, and in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Paragraph 7 and the terms of such international tax assignment agreement or such tax policies or procedures, the terms of such international tax assignment agreement or such tax policies or procedures, as applicable, shall control.
8. Nature of Grant. In accepting the Performance Units, you acknowledge, understand and agree that: (a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan; (b) the grant of the Performance Units is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Performance Units, or benefits in lieu of Performance Units, even if Performance Units have been granted in the past; (c) all decisions with respect to future Performance Units or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (d) the grant of Performance Units and your participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or service contract with the Company, your Employer, or any Subsidiary and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate your employment or service relationship (if any); (e) you are voluntarily participating in the Plan; (f) the Performance Units, and the income and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; (g) the Performance Units, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, holiday-pay, bonuses, long-service awards, leave-related payments, pension or retirement benefits or similar mandatory payments; (h) the future value of the Performance Units and any Stock that may be issued under this Agreement is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; (i) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the forfeiture of the Performance Units resulting from you ceasing to provide employment or other services to the Company or your Employer (for any reason whatsoever whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any); (j) in the event of involuntary termination of your active employment or other services (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, your right to vest in the Performance Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively providing services and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., active services would not include any contractual notice period or
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH/STOCK)
any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), except as expressly provided herein, and that the Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Performance Units (including whether you may still be considered to be providing services while on an approved leave of absence); (k) unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Performance Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Performance Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of the Company; (l) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Performance Units, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, services you may provide as a director of a Subsidiary; (m) if you are requested to make repayment under Paragraph 4, you will make repayment immediately; and (n) the following provisions apply only if you are providing services outside the United States: (i) the Performance Units, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose; and (ii) neither the Company, the Employer nor any Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between your local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Performance Units or the subsequent payout of the Performance Units or sale of any shares of Stock that may be issued under this Agreement.
9. No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan. You should consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
10. Data Privacy.
i.Declaration of Consent. By accepting the Performance Units via the Company’s acceptance procedure, you are declaring that you agree with the data processing practices described herein and consent to the collection, processing and use of Data by the Company and the transfer of Data to the recipients mentioned below, including recipients located in countries which may not have a similar level of protection from the perspective of the data protection laws in your country.
ii.Data Collection and Usage. The Company and the Employer may collect, process and use certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company and details of all Performance Units, whether vested or unvested, held in your favor (“Data”), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is your consent.
iii.Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company may select a service provider to assist in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan and the Company may share Data with such service provider. In such case, you may
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH/STOCK)
be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider(s), which will be a condition of your ability to participate in the Plan.
iv.International Data Transfers. The Company is based in the United States, which means that it will be necessary for Data to be transferred to, and processed in, the United States. You understand that your country may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the laws of the United States. For example, the European Commission has issued only a limited adequacy finding with respect to the United States that applies solely if and to the extent that companies self-certify and remain self-certified under the EU/U.S. Privacy Shield program. As a result, in the absence of appropriate safeguards such as standard data protection clauses, the processing of your Data in the United States or, as the case may be, other countries might not be subject to substantive data processing principles or supervision by data protection authorities. In addition, you might not have enforceable rights regarding the processing of your Data in such countries. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of Data is your consent.
v.Data Retention. The Company will hold and use the Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, labor and exchange control laws.
vi.Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. You understand that you may withdraw consent at any time with future effect for any or no reason. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your salary from or employment and career with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to offer Performance Units to you or administer or maintain your participation in the Plan.
vii.Data Subject Rights. You understand that data subject rights vary depending on the applicable law and that, depending on where you are based and subject to the conditions set out in the applicable law, you may have, without limitation, the rights to (i) request access or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) rectification of incorrect Data, (iii) deletion of Data, (iv) restrictions on processing of Data, (v) portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, you understand that you can contact your local human resources representative.

In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall be the controlling document. Capitalized terms used herein or in Exhibit A and not otherwise defined herein or in Exhibit A shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.
14. Other Agreements. The terms of this Agreement shall be subject to and governed by, and shall not modify, the terms and conditions of any employment, severance, and/or change-in-control agreement between the Company (or a Subsidiary) and you (“Other Agreement”), except that, notwithstanding anything in such Other Agreement to the contrary, any normal retirement age of 65 or other retirement-based vesting, payment or benefit provisions in such Other Agreement shall be of no force or effect for all purposes of the Performance Units granted under this Agreement.
15. Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any document related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
16. Severability. If one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed null and void; however, to the extent permissible by law, any provisions which could be deemed null and void shall first be construed, interpreted or revised retroactively to permit this Agreement to be construed so as to foster the intent of this Agreement and the Plan.
17. Language. You acknowledge and represent that you are proficient in the English language or have consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, as to allow you to understand the terms of this Agreement and any other documents related to the Plan. If you have received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the translated version is different from the English version, the English version will control.
18. Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas, U.S.A., except to the extent that it implicates matters that are the subject of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which matters shall be governed by the latter law notwithstanding any conflicts of laws principles that may be applied or invoked directing the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. The parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH/STOCK)
exclusive jurisdiction of Houston, Harris County, Texas, as exclusive venue for any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this Agreement, relating to it or arising from it, or dispute resolution proceeding arising hereunder for any claim or dispute, notwithstanding any conflicts of laws principles that may direct the jurisdiction of any other court, venue, or forum, including the jurisdiction of the employee’s home country.
19. Compliance with Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the Performance Units, the Company shall not be required to deliver any payment from the payout of the Performance Units prior to the completion of any registration or qualification under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval, the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. You understand that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify any shares of Stock that may be required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement with the SEC or any state or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for payout of the Performance Units. Further, you agree that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and the Agreement without your consent to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable law prior to the payout of the Performance Units.
20. Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. You acknowledge that, depending on your country of residence or the country of residence of your broker, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect your ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Stock required to be issued under this Agreement, rights to shares of such Stock or rights linked to the value of such shares of Stock during such times as you are considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company, as defined by the laws or regulations in your (or your broker’s) country. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders you place before you possessed inside information. Furthermore, you could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Keep in mind third parties include fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to be informed of and compliant with such regulations, and you are hereby advised to speak to your personal advisor on this matter.
21. Exhibit B. Notwithstanding any provisions in this document, the Performance Units shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit B to this Agreement for your country. Moreover, if you relocate to one of the countries included in Exhibit B, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to you, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH/STOCK)
necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. Exhibit B constitutes part of this Agreement.
22. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on your participation in the Plan, on the Performance Units and on any shares of Stock that may be issued under this Agreement, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require you to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
23. Waiver. You acknowledge that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by you or any other participant.
24. Foreign Asset/Account Reporting, Exchange Control Requirements. Certain foreign asset and/or foreign account reporting requirements and exchange controls may affect your ability to acquire or hold cash and/or, if applicable, shares of Stock received from participating in the Plan in a brokerage or bank account outside your country. You may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in your country. You may also be required to repatriate sales proceeds or other funds received as a result of your participation in the Plan to your country through a designated bank or broker and/or within a certain time after receipt. You are responsible for complying with any applicable regulations and you should consult your personal legal and tax advisors for any details.

US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH/STOCK) (EXHIBIT A)
EXHIBIT A
To Performance Award Agreement
Performance Goals
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, the provisions of this Exhibit A shall determine the extent, if any, that the Performance Units become “earned” and payable.
I. Performance Period
The Performance Period shall be the period beginning January 1, 2021, and ending December 31, 2023.
II. Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”)
The payment of a TSR Performance Unit will be determined based on the comparison of (i) the average of the TSRs (as defined below) of the Company’s common stock measured at the end of each calendar quarter during the Performance Period, with each quarter’s TSR indexed back to the beginning of the calendar year in which such calendar quarter occurs, to (ii) the average of the TSRs of each of the common stocks of the members of the Peer Group measured at the end of each calendar quarter during the Performance Period, with each quarter’s TSR indexed back to the beginning of the calendar year in which such calendar quarter occurs.
“TSR” or “Total Shareholder Return” shall mean, with respect to a calendar quarter, the change in the price of a share of common stock from the beginning of the calendar year in which such calendar quarter occurs (as measured by the simple average of the closing prices of a share of such stock trading during regular trading hours for the last twenty trading days preceding the beginning of such calendar year) until the end of the applicable calendar quarter to be measured during the Performance Period (as measured by the simple average of the closing prices of a share of such stock trading during regular trading hours for the last twenty trading days of the calendar quarter), adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends (if any) through the purchase of common stock at the closing price on the corresponding dividend payment date, which shall be the ex-dividend date, and rounded to the first decimal place. Dividends per share paid other than in the form of cash shall have a value equal to the amount of such dividends reported by the issuer to its shareholders for purposes of Federal income taxation.
A.Average TSR
The average TSR for a company for the Performance Period shall be the sum of the TSRs of the company measured at the end of each calendar quarter during the Performance Period, divided by 12. The average TSR for a company during the Performance Period shall be calculated based on the following formula:

US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH/STOCK) (EXHIBIT A)
B.Peer Group and TSR Payout
Once the average TSR for the Company during the Performance Period is calculated, the average TSR for each company in the Peer Group shall be calculated.
The Peer Group shall consist of the following companies (including KBR, Inc.):
Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation ManTech International Corporation
CACI International Inc Parsons Corporation
Fluor Corporation Perspecta Inc.
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. Science Applications International Corporation
Leidos Holdings, Inc Unisys Corporation
No company shall be added to, or removed from, the Peer Group during the Performance Period, except that a company shall be removed from the Peer Group if during such period (i) such company ceases to maintain publicly available statements of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP, (ii) such company is not the surviving entity in any merger, consolidation, or other reorganization (or survives only as a subsidiary of an entity other than a previously wholly owned entity of such company), or (iii) such company sells, leases, or exchanges all or substantially all of its assets to any other person or entity (other than a previously wholly owned entity of such company).
If one or more Peer Group companies are removed from the Peer Group, then the percentiles and TSR payouts will adjust for the change in “n” of the formula provided below; provided, however, that the adjustment must require at least a 90.0 percentile to receive the maximum TSR payout and at least a 20.0 percentile to receive the threshold TSR payout. After the average TSR is determined for the Company and each company in the Peer Group, the Company’s average TSR rank among the average TSRs for the Peer Group for the Performance Period and the Company’s applicable “TSR Payout Percentage” shall be determined by the following formula:

US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH/STOCK) (EXHIBIT A)
The TSR Payout Percentage and related payout shall be subject to reduction as provided in Paragraph 3 of the Agreement.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, (a) unless otherwise provided in an agreement pursuant to Paragraph 14 of the Agreement, the TSR Payout Percentage shall equal 200% for payment in connection with a Double Trigger Event as provided in Paragraph 2(d) of the Agreement, and (b) if on the Grant Date you are an employee of the Company or any employing Subsidiary of the Company who is either the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or a direct report to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s average TSR (as determined pursuant to Part II.A. of this Exhibit A) at the end of the Performance Period is negative (i.e., an index below 100), then no payment hereunder with respect to the TSR performance measure will exceed the Target (100%) payout under the TSR Peer Group Percentile and TSR Payout Percentage Table above; provided, however, that this clause (b) shall not apply if, pursuant to the first sentence of Paragraph 2(d) of the Agreement, your outstanding Performance Units become fully vested at the maximum earned percentage provided in Exhibit A (200%) upon a Double Trigger Event occurring during the Performance Period.
III. Cumulative Net Income and Job Income Sold (“JIS”)
A. JIS Determinations in General
The payment of a JIS Performance Unit will be determined based on the Cumulative Net Income Percentage. The “Cumulative Net Income Percentage” shall be determined as follows:
(i) if Cumulative Net Income exceeds $0, then the Cumulative Net Income Percentage shall equal 200%; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to an exercise of negative discretion, the Committee has determined that, if Cumulative Net Income exceeds $0, then in no event shall the Cumulative Net Income Percentage exceed the Average JIS Payout Ratio (subject to the last sentence of Part III. of this Exhibit A);
(ii) if Cumulative Net Income does not exceed $0 and if the Average JIS Payout Ratio (determined by excluding all Excluded Projects from the determination of JIS and Target JIS) exceeds 0%, then the Cumulative Net Income Percentage shall equal the Average JIS Payout Ratio (determined by excluding all Excluded Projects from the determination of JIS and Target JIS and subject to the last sentence of Part III. of this Exhibit A); and
(iii) if neither clause (i) nor (ii) above applies, then the Cumulative Net Income Percentage shall equal 0% (subject to the last sentence of Part III. of this Exhibit A).
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH/STOCK) (EXHIBIT A)
For purposes of Part III. of this Exhibit A, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Achieved JIS” means, with respect to a calendar year during the Performance Period, a percentage (rounded to one decimal place) determined by multiplying 100% by the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the JIS for such calendar year by (ii) the Target JIS for such calendar year.
“Average JIS Payout Ratio” means the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the JIS Payout Ratios for each of the three calendar years in the Performance Period by (ii) three.
“Cumulative Net Income” means the Company’s aggregate net income as reflected in its Form 10-Ks for the three years included in the Performance Period, adjusted to exclude: restructuring charges; and one-time, non-operating related events, including, but not limited to, goodwill or intangible impairments, losses on the sale of assets, asset impairments, related to lawsuits, or related to the bankruptcy of a client that owes the Company money for services performed.
“Excluded Project” means a liquefied natural gas project determined by the Committee to have an individual value of $500 million or more of gross revenue.
“JIS” means, with respect to a calendar year, the Company’s and its consolidated subsidiaries job income from (i) new projects awarded during such calendar year and (ii) earnings growth, contract amendments (increases or decreases), or scope adjustments (increases or decreases) during such calendar year to projects existing on the first day of such calendar year. For clarity, JIS will exclude foreign exchange fluctuations (increases or decreases) and loss adjustments, if any, on existing contracts. To clarify further, job income adjustments reflected in item (ii) also apply to new projects awarded during the calendar year. For each calendar year, JIS shall be determined without regard to any Excluded Project; provided, however, that at the end of the Performance Period, except as otherwise provided in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Part III. of this Exhibit A, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion (which discretion may be (x) exercised differently with respect to the holder of this Performance Award and any other holder or holders of a similar type Award and (y) applied for purposes of determining the JIS and Target JIS applicable to an applicable calendar year within the Performance Period without being applied for purposes of determining the Target JIS for any other calendar year within the Performance Period), determine that JIS for such calendar year will be determined by including the Excluded Projects. In addition, for each calendar year, JIS shall be determined without regard to any business unit and/or business line that is discontinued prior to the end of the calendar year.
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH/STOCK) (EXHIBIT A)
“JIS Payout Ratio” means, with respect to a calendar year during the Performance Period, the amount determined in accordance with the following table:

|
200%
|
* If Achieved JIS for the calendar year is between the Threshold Percentage and the Target Percentage under the first row of the table above, then the JIS Payout Ratio for such calendar year shall be determined by linear interpolation between Threshold (25%) and Target (100%) based on the Achieved JIS result. If Achieved JIS for the calendar year is between the Target Percentage and the Maximum Percentage under the first row of the table above, then the JIS Payout Ratio for such calendar year shall be determined by linear interpolation between Target (100%) and Maximum (200%) based on the Achieved JIS result. Each JIS Payout Ratio determined by linear interpolation shall be rounded to one decimal place.
“Maximum Percentage” means, with respect to a calendar year during the Performance Period, a percentage established by the Committee as the Maximum Percentage for such calendar year, which percentage shall be greater than the Target Percentage established by the Committee for such calendar year; provided, however, that for purposes of clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Part III. of this Exhibit A, the “Maximum Percentage” for each calendar year during the Performance Period shall be 120%.
“Target JIS” means, with respect to a calendar year during the Performance Period (such calendar year being a “Performance Year”), the JIS for the calendar year immediately preceding the Performance Year (such immediately preceding calendar year being the “Reference Year”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a business unit or business line is discontinued during a Performance Year, then the applicable Target JIS shall be redetermined to exclude job income for the applicable Reference Year that is attributable to such business unit or business line. Further, if, subject to the provisions of clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Part III. of this Exhibit A, the Committee determines in its discretion to determine JIS for a Performance Year by including Excluded Projects, then the related Target JIS for such Performance Year shall be redetermined by including Excluded Projects in the determination of the JIS for the Reference Year.
“Target Percentage” means, with respect to a calendar year during the Performance Period, a percentage established by the Committee as the Target Percentage for such calendar year, which percentage shall be greater than the Threshold Percentage and less than the Maximum Percentage established by the Committee for such calendar year; provided, however, that for purposes of clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Part III. of this
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH/STOCK) (EXHIBIT A)
Exhibit A, the “Target Percentage” for each calendar year during the Performance Period shall be 90%.
“Threshold Percentage” means, with respect to a calendar year during the Performance Period, a percentage established by the Committee as the Threshold Percentage for such calendar year, which percentage shall be less than the Target Percentage established by the Committee for such calendar year; provided, however, that for purposes of clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Part III. of this Exhibit A, the “Threshold Percentage” for each calendar year during the Performance Period shall be 60%.
B. Determination of the “Earned” Value of JIS Performance Units
The “target” value of a JIS Performance Unit is $1.00; its maximum value is $2.00 per unit if the maximum Cumulative Net Income Percentage is achieved, and the JIS Performance Unit value will be zero if the Cumulative Net Income Percentage is 0%. The value of an “earned” JIS Performance Unit shall be determined by multiplying its “target” value of $1.00 by the Cumulative Net Income Percentage for the Performance Period, subject to reduction as provided in Paragraph 3 of the Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise provided in an agreement pursuant to Paragraph 14 of the Agreement, the Cumulative Net Income Percentage shall be deemed to have been met at the maximum level (200%) in connection with a Double Trigger Event as provided in Paragraph 2(d) of the Agreement.
IV. Adjustments to Performance Measurements for Significant Events
If, after the beginning of the Performance Period, there is a change in accounting standards required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the performance results shall be adjusted by the Company’s independent accountants as appropriate to disregard such change. In addition, the results of the Company or a peer group company shall be adjusted to reflect any stock splits or other events described in Article XIII of the Plan.
V. Committee Certification
As soon as reasonably practical following the end of the Performance Period, but in no event later than the March 15th following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee shall review and determine the performance results for the Performance Period and certify those results in writing. No Performance Units earned and vested shall be payable prior to the Committee’s certification; provided, however, Committee certification shall not apply in the event of a Double Trigger Event, unless otherwise provided in an agreement pursuant to paragraph 13 of the Agreement.

EXHIBIT B
KBR, INC.
Terms and Conditions of Performance Unit Grant
SPECIAL PROVISIONS OF PERFORMANCE UNITS
IN CERTAIN COUNTRIES
This Exhibit B includes special country-specific terms that apply to residents in countries listed below. This Exhibit B is part of the Agreement. Unless otherwise provided below, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan and the Agreement.
This Exhibit B also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan. The information is based on the exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of February 2020. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. Note certain individual exchange control reporting requirements may apply upon vesting of the Performance Units and results may be different based on the particular facts and circumstances. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you do not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time your Performance Units vest or your Performance Units are settled under the Plan.
In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure you of any particular result. Accordingly, you should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation.
If you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the country in which you are working or if you transfer employment after the Performance Units are granted to you, the information contained in this Exhibit B for the country you work in at the time of grant may not be applicable to you and the Company, in its discretion, may determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to you. If you transfer residency and/or employment to another country or are considered a resident of another country listed in this Exhibit B after the Performance Units are granted to you, the terms and/or information contained for that new country (rather than the original grant country) may be applicable to you.

This offer document sets out information regarding the grant of Performance Units to Australian resident employees of the Company and its Australian Subsidiary(ies). The offer of Performance Units under the Plan to Australian resident employees is intended to comply with the provisions of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (“Corporations Act”), Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) Regulatory Guide 49 and ASIC Class Order 14/1000.
Additional Documents.
In addition to the information set out in the Agreement, including this Exhibit B, you are also being provided with copies of the following documents:
(a)the Plan; and
(b)the Plan prospectus.
(collectively, the “Additional Documents”). The Additional Documents provide further information to help you make an informed investment decision about participating in the Plan. Neither the Plan nor the Plan prospectus is a prospectus for the purposes of the Corporations Act.
You should not rely upon any oral statements made in relation to this offer. You should rely only upon the statements contained in the Agreement, including this Exhibit B, and the Additional Documents when considering participation in the Plan.
General Information Only.
The information herein is general information only. It is not advice or information that takes into account your objectives and financial situation.
You should consider obtaining your own financial product advice from a person who is licensed by ASIC to give such advice.
Risk Factors for Australian Residents.
You should have regard to risk factors relevant to investment in securities generally and, in particular, to the holding of shares of Stock. For example, the price at which a share of Stock is quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) may increase or decrease due to a number of factors. There is no guarantee that the price of a share of Stock will increase. Factors which may affect the price of a share of Stock include fluctuations in the domestic and international market for the listed stocks, general economic conditions, including interest rates, inflation rates, legislation or regulation, the nature of the markets in which the Company operates and general operational and business risks.
More information about potential factors that could affect the Company’s business and financial results is included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings the Company may make from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Copies of these reports are available at http://sec.gov and upon request to the Company.
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (CASH/STOCK) (EXHIBIT B)
In addition, you should be aware that the Australian dollar value of the shares of Stock you may acquire under the Plan will be affected by the U.S./Australian dollar exchange rate. Participating in the Plan involves risks related to fluctuations in this rate of exchange.
Common Stock in a U.S. Corporation.
Common stock of a U.S. corporation is analogous to ordinary shares of an Australian corporation. Each holder of a share of Stock is entitled to one vote. Further, shares of Stock are not liable to any further calls for payment of capital or for other assessment by the Company and have no sinking fund provisions, pre-emptive rights, conversion rights or redemption provisions.
Ascertaining the Market Price of Shares.
You may ascertain the market price of a share of Stock by obtaining the current trading price of a share on the NYSE at https://www.nyse.com/index under the ticker “KBR”. The Australian dollar equivalent of that price can be obtained at: http://www.rba.gov.au/statistics/frequency/exchange-rates.html.
This will not be a prediction of the market price of an individual share when such shares are acquired under the Plan or of the applicable exchange rate on the acquisition date.
Tax Information.
The Plan is a plan to which subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies (subject to conditions in the Act).
Exchange Control Information.
Exchange control reporting is required for cash transactions exceeding AUD10,000 and for international fund transfers. The Australian bank assisting with the transaction will file the report for you. If there is no Australian bank involved in the transfer, you will have to file the report.

KBR, INC. 2006 STOCK AND INCENTIVE PLAN
Securities Law Information.
The Agreement, the Plan and all other materials you may receive regarding participation in the Plan do not constitute advertising or the offering of securities in Bahrain, nor do they constitute an allotment of securities in Bahrain. Any Stock issued upon settlement of the Performance Units will be deposited into a Company-designated brokerage account outside Bahrain. In no event will Stock be issued or delivered in Bahrain. The issuance of Stock pursuant to the Performance Units described herein has not and will not be registered in Bahrain and, hence, the Stock described herein may not be admitted or used for offering, placement or public circulation in Bahrain. Accordingly, you may not make any public advertising or announcements regarding the Performance Units or Stock in Bahrain, promote Stock to legal entities or individuals in Bahrain, or sell Stock directly to other legal entities or individuals in Bahrain. Any disposition or sale of Stock must take place outside Bahrain.

Foreign Account/Asset Tax Reporting Information.
You may be required to report your specified foreign property on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of your specified foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time in the year. Foreign specified property includes cash, any shares of Stock issued to you upon vesting and settlement of your Award as well as the Performance Units. Performance Units must be reported - generally at a nil cost - if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign property that you hold. If shares of Stock are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”). The ACB would normally equal the fair market value of the shares of Stock issued to you upon vesting and settlement of your Award, but if you own other shares, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares. The Form T1135 is required for every year during which your foreign specified property exceeds C$100,000 and must be filed with your annual tax return.
Termination of Employment.
The following provision supplements Paragraph 8(j) of the Agreement:
For purposes of this Award and except as expressly required by applicable legislation, in the event of your termination of employment for any reason (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, your right to vest in the Performance Units, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that is the earliest of (1) the date upon which your employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated; (2) the date you are no longer actively employed by or providing services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (3) the date you receive written notice of termination of employment from the Employer, regardless of any notice period or period of pay in lieu of such notice required under applicable laws (including, but not limited to statutory law, regulatory law and/or common law); in the event that the date you are no longer actively providing services cannot be reasonably determined under the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively employed for purposes of the Performance Units (including whether you may be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).
The following provisions shall apply if you are a resident of Quebec:
Data Privacy.
This provision supplements Paragraph 10 of the Agreement:
You hereby authorize the Company and representatives of any Subsidiary to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or not, involved in the administration and operation of the Plan. You further authorize the Company and any Subsidiary and the administrators of the Plan to disclose and discuss the Plan with their advisors. You further authorize the Company and any Subsidiary to record such information and to keep such information in your file.
