FOR PERFORMANCE UNIT AWARDS GRANTED IN 2009 UNDER

THE BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED 2002 DIRECTOR & OFFICER

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN AND

THE BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED 2002 EMPLOYEE

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

ADOPTED OCTOBER 21, 2010




     1. 2009 Performance Unit Program.



     The Performance Unit Program, a component compensation program established under each of the
Baker Hughes Incorporated 2002 Director & Officer Long-Term Incentive Plan and the Baker Hughes
Incorporated 2002 Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “PUP”), provides for cash awards for
participants if performance goals are met during the term of the PUP. The performance goals are
related to the Company’s achievement as compared to a peer group of companies. Achievement is
measured over multiple performance periods from the beginning of 2009 to the end of 2011.
Twenty-five percent of the Total Unit Value is determined based upon one-year performance relative
to certain specified performance criteria during each of 2009, 2010, and 2011. The final
25 percent of the Total Unit Value is calculated at the end of 2011 based upon the
cumulative performance of the Company over the three-year performance period 2009 through 2011.








     2. Performance Goals for the Performance Period.



     For Performance Unit Awards granted by BHI in 2009 under the Plan, the performance goals are
based upon the Company’s (1) change in Revenue as compared to the Peer Group, (2) Pre-Tax Operating
Margin for the applicable performance periods as compared to that of the Peer Group, and (3) Return
on Net Capital Employed or RONCE as compared to the Peer Group. For each performance goal, if the
Company’s performance as compared to the Peer Group is the highest, the Company’s performance rank
shall be first.

(a) One-Year Performance Periods.




     (I) Revenue Growth. For each of the 2009 Performance Period, the 2010
Performance Period and the 2011 Performance Period the Company’s One-Year Interval
Percentage Increase in Revenue for its 2009, 2010 and 2011 fiscal years, respectively, shall
be compared against the One-Year Interval Percentage Increase in Revenue for all members of
the Peer Group.



     (II) Pre-Tax Operating Margin. For each of the 2009 Performance Period, the
2010 Performance Period and the 2011 Performance Period, the Company’s Pre-Tax Operating
Margin for its 2009, 2010 and 2011 fiscal years, respectively, shall be compared against the
Pre-Tax Operating Margin for all members of the Peer Group during the applicable Current
Period.



     (III) Return of Net Capital Employed. For each of the 2009 Performance Period,
the 2010 Performance Period and the 2011 Performance Period, the Company’s RONCE for its
2009,
2010 and 2011 fiscal years, respectively, shall be compared against the RONCE for all
members of the Peer Group during the applicable Current Period.



(b) Three-Year Performance Period.




     (I) Revenue Growth. For the Three-Year Performance Period, the Three-Year
Percentage Increase in Revenue of the Company shall be compared against the Three-Year
Percentage Increase in Revenue for all members of the Peer Group as of December 31, 2011.



     (II) Pre-Tax Operating Margin. For the Three-Year Performance Period, the sum
of the Pre-Tax Operating Margin of the Company for the 2009 Performance Period, the 2010
Performance Period and the 2011 Performance Period shall be compared against the sum of the
Pre-Tax Operating Margin of the Company for each member of the Peer Group for the 2009
Performance Period, the 2010 Performance Period and the 2011 Performance Period.



     (III) Return on Net Capital Employed. For the Three-Year Performance Period,
the sum of the RONCE of the Company for the 2009 Performance Period, the 2010 Performance
Period and the 2011 Performance Period shall be compared against the sum of the RONCE for
each member of the Peer Group for the 2009 Performance Period, the 2010 Performance Period
and the 2011 Performance Period.



3. Unit Value Based on Peer Group Ranking.




     The Unit Value earned during an applicable performance period (the 2009 Performance
Period, the 2010 Performance Period, the 2011 Performance Period or the Three-Year
Performance Period) for each of the three performance goals is 25 percent the Unit Value
Amount listed below. The averages of 25 percent Unit Value Amounts earned during a
performance period is used to determine the Period Unit Value for the performance period.
The payout under each Performance Unit will be based on 12 measures (three Peer Group
Ranking results achieved during four discrete performance periods.) Note, in 2009, there
were 7 companies used in the Peer Group, and after 2009, there are 5 companies in the Peer
Group, including Baker Hughes Incorporated.

     In the example below, for illustrative purposes, Year 1 (2009 Performance Period) Revenue
Growth Rank was 5th and 25 percent of $50 is $12.50. Pre-Tax Operating Margin Rank was
2nd and 25
percent of $150 is $37.50. RONCE Rank was 1st and 25 percent of $200 is
$50. The average Unit Value based upon the performance in Year 1 is $33.34. Note, years 2, 3, and
the 3 Year Total use the alternative ranking table for 5 peer companies. For each Performance Unit
awarded, the sum of the Period Unit Value for each of the performance periods equals the Total Unit
Value.








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



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



     4. Peer Group.



     The Peer Group is as follows for the performance periods ending in 2009, 2010, and 2011, and
for the Three-Year Performance Period.
