2.02    Participation. Participation in the Plan shall be determined annually by the Committee or its delegates. Each individual approved for participation in the Plan shall be notified in writing of his or her selection, and of his or her Performance Goals and related Award Opportunities, as soon as practicable after such Performance Goals and Award Opportunities are approved.

2.03    Partial Plan Year Participation. The Committee may allow an individual who becomes eligible after the beginning of a Plan Year to participate in the Plan for that Plan Year. In such a case, the Participant’s Final Award shall normally be reduced, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, to reflect the fact that the Participant has not been eligible to participate in the Plan for the entire Plan Year. Until the Committee specifies otherwise, such procedures shall be as follows: Normally, the reduction shall be effected by taking into account the Participant’s compensation (within the meaning of his Award Opportunity) for only the portion of the Plan Year in which he is eligible to participate in the Plan; provided, however, that if the Participant has an Award Opportunity that is based upon annualized compensation determined as of a particular date, his Final Award shall be prorated based upon the number of full months of participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may authorize an unreduced Final Award. Unless the Chief Executive Officer of Baker Hughes or the Committee specifically determines otherwise, an individual who becomes an Eligible Employee on or after October 1 of a Plan Year shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan for such Plan Year.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not withdraw its approval for participation in the Plan during the pendency of a Potential Change in Control and for a period of six (6) months after the cessation thereof.

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

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

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

3.04    Adjustment of Performance Goals. The Committee shall have the right to adjust the Performance Goals (either up or down) during the Plan Year if it determines that external changes or other unanticipated business conditions have materially affected the fairness of the goals and unduly influenced the ability to meet them.

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

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

In determining the Final Award, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may increase or decrease calculated amounts to reflect factors regarding performance during the Plan Year which were not, in the sole opinion of the Committee, appropriately reflected in the Final Award calculation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5.03    Unclaimed Benefits. In the case of a benefit payable on behalf of a Participant or former Participant, if the Plan Administrator is unable, after reasonable efforts, to locate the Participant, the former Participant or the beneficiary to whom such benefit is payable, upon the Plan Administrator’s determination thereof, such benefit shall be forfeited to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if subsequent to any such forfeiture the Participant, the former Participant or beneficiary to whom such benefit is payable makes a valid claim for such benefit, such forfeited benefit (without any adjustment for earnings or loss) shall be restored to the Plan by the Company and paid in accordance with the Plan.

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

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

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

7.01    Payment of Amounts. In the event of a death of a Participant prior to the Payment Date of a Final Award, the Participant’s Final Award will be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary on the Payment Date.

7.02    Designation of Beneficiaries. The beneficiary or beneficiaries who shall receive payment of a Participant’s benefit in the event of his death shall be as follows:

(i)    If a Participant or former Participant leaves a surviving spouse, his benefit shall be paid to such surviving spouse; or

(ii)    If a Participant or former Participant leaves no surviving spouse, his benefit shall be paid to such Participant’s or former Participant’s executor or administrator, or to his heirs at law if there is no administration of such Participant’s or former Participant’s estate.

8.01    General. The provisions of this Article VIII shall apply and supersede any contrary provisions of the Plan in the event of a Change in Control.

8.02    CIC Committee. If a Change in Control or Potential Change in Control occurs, all references in the Plan to “Committee” shall at that point be deemed to be references to the CIC Committee.

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

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

8.05    Payment of Expected Value Awards and Tax-Gross Up for Delayed Payment. If a Participant is entitled to a Final Award payment pursuant to Section 8.03, the Company shall pay the Participant such Final Award within five days following the date of the Change in Control.

If for any reason the Company fails to timely pay a Participant the amounts due him pursuant to this Article VIII, the Company shall pay the Participant additional compensation in such amount as is necessary to put the Participant in the same federal income tax position he would have been in had the payment not been subject to Section 409A. Such additional compensation shall be paid to the Participant at the same time as the delinquent Final Award payment is paid to the Participant but in any event no later than the last day of the Participant’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the Participant remits his federal income taxes to the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the Final Award.

At any time during its term of office, and for

any reason, any member of a Committee or any individual serving as Plan Administrator may be removed by the Board.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(f)    to determine whether and when a Participant has incurred a Separation From Service, and the reason for such termination; and

(g)    to make a determination in its discretion as to the right of any individual to a benefit under the Plan and to prescribe procedures to be followed by distributees in obtaining benefits hereunder.

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

9.07    Claims Review Procedures; Claims Appeals Procedures.

(a)    Claims Review Procedures. When a benefit is due, the Participant, or the person entitled to benefits under the Plan, should submit a claim to the office designated by the Plan Administrator to receive claims. Under normal circumstances, the Plan Administrator will make a final decision as to a claim within 90 days after receipt of the claim. If the Plan Administrator notifies the claimant in writing during the initial 90‑day period, it may extend the period up to 180 days after the initial receipt of the claim. The written notice must contain the circumstances necessitating the extension and the anticipated date for the final decision. If a claim is denied during the claims period, the Plan Administrator must notify the claimant in writing, and the written notice must set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant:

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

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

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

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

(b)    Claims Appeals Procedures. For purposes of this Section 9.07 the Participant or the person entitled to benefits under the Plan is referred to as the “claimant.” If a claimant’s claim made pursuant to Section 9.07(a) is denied and he wants a review, he must apply to the Plan Administrator in writing. That application can include any arguments, written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim for benefits. In addition, the claimant is entitled to receive on request and free of charge reasonable access to and copies of all information relevant to the claim. For this purpose, “relevant” means information that was relied on in making the benefit determination or that was submitted, considered or generated in the course of making the determination, without regard to whether

it was relied on, and information that demonstrates compliance with the Plan’s administrative procedures and safeguards for assuring and verifying that Plan provisions are applied consistently in making benefit determinations. The Plan Administrator must take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether the information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. The claimant may either represent himself or appoint a representative, either of whom has the right to inspect all documents pertaining to the claim and its denial. The Plan Administrator can schedule any meeting with the claimant or his representative that it finds necessary or appropriate to complete its review.

The request for review must be filed within 90 days after the denial. If it is not, the denial becomes final. If a timely request is made, the Plan Administrator must make its decision, under normal circumstances, within 60 days of the receipt of the request for review. However, if the Plan Administrator notifies the claimant prior to the expiration of the initial review period, it may extend the period of review up to 120 days following the initial receipt of the request for a review. All decisions of the Plan Administrator must be in writing and must include the specific reasons for its action, the Plan provisions on which its decision is based, and a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits. If a decision is not given to the claimant within the review period, the claim is treated as if it were denied on the last day of the review period.

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

9.08    Company to Supply Information. The Company shall supply full and timely information to the Plan Administrator, including, but not limited to, information relating to each Participant’s base salary, age, Retirement, death, or other cause of Separation From Service and such other pertinent facts as the Plan Administrator may require. When making a determination in connection with the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely upon the aforesaid information furnished by the Company.

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

10.01    Adoption Procedure.

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

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

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

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

(e)    The Plan will terminate with respect to any Affiliate if the Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate or revokes its adoption of the Plan by resolution of its board of directors or noncorporate counterpart evidenced by a written instrument executed by an authorized

officer of the Affiliate. If the Plan terminates with respect to any Affiliate, the employees of that Affiliate will no longer be eligible to be Participants in the Plan.

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

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

11.01    Plan Not Contract of Employment. The adoption and maintenance of the Plan shall not be deemed to be a contract between the Company and any individual or to be consideration for the employment of any individual. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to (0) give any individual the right to be retained in the employ of the Company, (0) restrict the right of the Company to discharge any individual at any time, (0) give the Company the right to require any individual to remain in the employ of the Company, or (0) restrict any individual’s right to terminate his employment at any time.

11.02    Funding. Plan benefits are a contractual obligation of the Company which shall be paid out of the Company’s general assets. The Plan is unfunded and Participants are merely unsecured creditors of the Company with respect to their benefits under the Plan.

11.03    Alienation of Interest Forbidden. The interest of a Participant, former Participant or his beneficiary or beneficiaries hereunder may not be sold, transferred, assigned, or encumbered in any manner, either voluntarily or involuntarily, and any attempt so to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, or charge the same shall be null and void; neither shall the benefits hereunder be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any individual to whom such benefits or funds are payable, nor shall they be an asset in bankruptcy or subject to garnishment, attachment or other legal or equitable proceedings. The provisions of this Section 11.03 shall not apply to a Domestic Relations Order.

11.04    Withholding. All credits to a Participant’s or former Participant’s Accounts and payments provided for hereunder shall be subject to applicable withholding and other deductions as shall be required of the Company under any applicable local, state or federal law.

11.05    Amendment and Termination. The Compensation Committee of the Board may from time to time, in its discretion, amend, in whole or in part, any or all of the provisions of the Plan on behalf of any Company; provided, however, that no amendment may be made that would impair the rights of a Participant or former Participant with respect to amounts already credited to his Accounts. The Board may terminate the Plan at any time. If the Plan is terminated, the amounts credited to a Participant’s or former Participant’s Account shall be paid to such Participant, or former

Participant, or his designated beneficiary at the time(s) specified in Articles V, VII and VIII, as applicable.

11.06    Severability. If any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof; instead, each provision shall be fully severable and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if said illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein.

11.07    Arbitration. Any controversy arising out of or relating to the Plan, including without limitation, any and all disputes, claims (whether in tort, contract, statutory or otherwise) or disagreements concerning the interpretation or application of the provisions of the Plan, the Company’s employment of the Participant, or former Participant, and the termination of that employment, shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Employee Benefit Plan Claims Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) then in effect. No arbitration proceeding relating to the Plan may be initiated by either the Company or the Participant, or former Participant, unless the claims review and appeals procedures specified in Section 9.07 have been exhausted. Within ten business days of the initiation of an arbitration hereunder, the Company and the Participant, or former Participant, will each separately designate an arbitrator, and within 20 business days of selection, the appointed arbitrators will appoint a neutral arbitrator from the panel of AAA National Panel of Employee Benefit Plan Claims Arbitrators. The arbitrators shall issue their written decision (including a statement of finding of facts) within 30 days from the date of the close of the arbitration hearing. The decision of the arbitrators selected hereunder will be final and binding on both parties. This arbitration provision is expressly made pursuant to and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16 (or replacement or successor statute). Pursuant to Section 9 of the Federal Arbitration Act, the Company and any Participant agrees that any judgment of the United States District Court for the District in which the headquarters of Baker Hughes is located at the time of initiation of an arbitration hereunder shall be entered upon the award made pursuant to the arbitration. Nothing in this Section 11.07 shall be construed to, in any way, limit the scope and effect of Article IX. In any arbitration proceeding full effect shall be given to the rights, powers, and authorities of the Plan Administrator under Article IX.

11.08    Compliance With Section 409A. To the extent applicable, the Plan shall be operated in compliance with Section 409A and the provisions of the Plan shall be interpreted by the Plan Administrator in a manner that is consistent with this intention.

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

11.10    Recoupment in Certain Situations. If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under applicable securities laws, the Participant who is then a current or former executive officer of the Company shall forfeit and must repay to the Company any compensation awarded under the Plan for Performance Periods commencing on or after January 1,

2014, to the extent specified in any of the Company’s compensation recoupment policies established or amended (now or in the future) in compliance with the rules and standards of the Securities and Exchange Commission Committee under or in connection with Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Further, if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due in whole or in part to the Participant’s misconduct, the current or former Participant shall forfeit and must repay to the Company any compensation awarded under the Plan for Performance Periods commencing on or after January 1, 2014, to the extent required by the Board in accordance with the terms of the Company’s compensation recoupment policy as in effect on January 23, 2014.
