AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK




     The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Baker Hughes Incorporated, a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), pursuant to the Baker Hughes Incorporated 2002 Director & Officer Long-Term
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), hereby awards to you, the above-named awardee, effective as of the
Date of Award set forth above (the “Date of Award”), that number of shares (the “Shares”) of the
Company’s Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), set forth above as
Restricted Stock on the following terms and conditions:



     During the Restricted Period, the Shares of Restricted Stock will be evidenced by entries in
the stock register of the Company reflecting that such Shares of Restricted Stock have been issued
in your name. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Restricted Period” means the period
designated by the Board during which the Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or
otherwise encumbered.



     The Shares that are awarded hereby to you as Restricted Stock shall be subject to the
prohibitions and restrictions set forth herein with respect to the sale or other disposition of
such Shares and the obligation to forfeit and surrender such Shares to the Company (the “Forfeiture
Restrictions”). The Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to the Shares that are awarded hereby
on the earlier of (a) the date set forth in the following schedule:




	 	(i)	 	on the first anniversary of the Date of Award, the Forfeiture Restrictions
shall lapse as to one-third of the Shares subject to this Agreement; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	on each succeeding anniversary of the Date of Award, the Forfeiture
Restrictions shall lapse as to an additional one-third of the Shares subject to this
Agreement, so that on the third anniversary of the Date of Award the Forfeiture
Restrictions shall lapse as to all of the Shares subject to this Agreement,




and (b) the date of the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company next following the date
of your 72nd birthday, provided in all such instances that your service on the Board has
not terminated prior to the applicable lapse date under (a) or (b) above (the “General Lapse
Date”). If a Change in Control of the Company occurs or you cease to be a member of the Board
before the General Lapse Date, your rights to the Shares of Restricted Stock under this Agreement
will be determined as provided in the attached Terms and Conditions of Award Agreements
dated___(“Terms and Conditions”).




 









 








     The Shares of Restricted Stock awarded hereby may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged,
hypothecated or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of (other than by will or the
applicable laws of descent and distribution) to the extent then subject to the Forfeiture
Restrictions. Any such attempted sale, assignment, pledge, exchange, hypothecation, transfer,
encumbrance or disposition in violation of this Agreement shall be void and the Company shall not
be bound thereby. Further, the Shares awarded hereby that are no longer subject to Forfeiture
Restrictions may not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner that would constitute a
violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws. You also agree that (a) the Company
may refuse to cause the transfer of the Shares to be registered on the stock register of the
Company if such proposed transfer would in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company
constitute a violation of any applicable securities law and (b) the Company may give related
instructions to the transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the transfer of the Shares.



     Upon the lapse of the Forfeiture Restrictions with respect to Shares awarded hereby the
Company shall cause to be delivered to you a stock certificate representing such Shares, and such
Shares shall be transferable by you (except to the extent that any proposed transfer would, in the
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, constitute a violation of applicable securities
law).



     The Shares that may be issued under the Plan are registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under a Registration Statement on Form S-8.



     Capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in
the Plan or the Terms and Conditions.



     In accepting the award of Shares of Restricted Stock set forth in this Agreement you accept
and agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, this Agreement and the Terms and
Conditions.
