Exhibit 10.41




BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT




AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS



     The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors 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, effective as
of the Grant Date set forth above (the “Grant Date”), that number of restricted stock units set
forth above (the “Restricted Stock Units”), on the following terms and conditions:



     The Restricted Stock Units that are awarded hereby to you shall be subject to the prohibitions
and restrictions set forth herein with respect to the sale or other disposition of such Restricted
Stock Units and the obligation to forfeit and surrender such Restricted Stock Units to the Company
(the “Forfeiture Restrictions”). The Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to the Restricted
Stock Units that are awarded hereby in accordance with the following schedule provided that your
employment with the Company and its Affiliates has not terminated prior to the applicable lapse
date:




	 	(a)	 	on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, the Forfeiture Restrictions shall
lapse as to one-third of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Agreement; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	on each succeeding anniversary of the Grant Date, the Forfeiture Restrictions
shall lapse as to an additional one-third of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this
Agreement, so that on the third anniversary of the Grant Date the Forfeiture
Restrictions shall lapse as to all of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this
Agreement.




If a Change in Control of the Company occurs or your employment with the Company and all Affiliates
terminates before the third anniversary of the Grant Date, your rights to the Restricted Stock
Units under this Agreement will be determined as provided in the attached Terms and Conditions of
Award Agreements (dated January 19, 2010) (the “Terms and Conditions”).




     Upon the lapse of the Forfeiture Restrictions applicable to a Restricted Stock Unit that is
awarded hereby, the Company shall issue to you one share of the Company’s Common Stock, $1.00 par
value per share (the “Common Stock”), in exchange for such Restricted Stock Unit and thereafter you
shall have no further rights with respect to such Restricted Stock Unit. The Company shall cause
to be delivered to you a stock certificate representing those shares of the Common Stock issued in
exchange for Restricted Stock Units awarded hereby, and such shares of the Common Stock shall be
transferable by you (except to the extent that any proposed transfer would, in the opinion of
counsel satisfactory to the Company, constitute a violation of applicable federal or state
securities law).



     If during the period you hold any Restricted Stock Units awarded hereby the Company pays a
dividend in cash with respect to the outstanding shares of the Common Stock (a “Cash Dividend”),
then the Company will credit to an account established for you by the Company



 









 




under the Plan (the “Account”) an amount equal to the product of (a) the Restricted Stock
Units awarded hereby that have not been forfeited to the Company or exchanged by the Company for
shares of the Common Stock and (b) the amount of the Cash Dividend paid per share of the Common
Stock (the “Dividend Equivalent Credit”). The Company shall pay to you, in cash, an amount equal
to the Dividend Equivalent Credits credited to the Account with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit
on the date the Forfeiture Restrictions applicable to that Restricted Stock Unit lapse (and in no
case later than the end of the calendar year in which the Forfeiture Restrictions applicable to
that Restricted Stock Unit lapse or, if later, the 15th day of the third month following the date
the Forfeiture Restrictions applicable to that Restricted Stock Unit lapse).




     If during the period you hold any Restricted Stock Units awarded hereby the Company pays a
dividend in shares of the Common Stock with respect to the outstanding shares of the Common Stock,
then the Company will increase the Restricted Stock Units awarded hereby that have not then been
exchanged by the Company for shares of the Common Stock by an amount equal to the product of (a)
the Restricted Stock Units awarded hereby that have not been forfeited to the Company or exchanged
by the Company for shares of the Common Stock and (b) the number of shares of the Common Stock paid
by the Company per share of the Common Stock (collectively, the “Stock Dividend Restricted Stock
Units”). Each Stock Dividend Restricted Stock Unit will be subject to same Forfeiture Restrictions
and other restrictions, limitations and conditions applicable to the Restricted Stock Unit for
which such Stock Dividend Restricted Stock Unit was awarded and will be exchanged for shares of the
Common Stock at the same time and on the same basis as such Restricted Stock Unit.



     The Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or
otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of (other than by will or the applicable laws of
descent and distribution). Any such attempted sale, assignment, pledge, exchange, hypothecation,
transfer, encumbrance or disposition in violation of this Agreement shall be void and the Company
Group shall not be bound thereby.



     Any shares of the Common Stock issued to you in exchange for Restricted Stock Units awarded
hereby may not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner that would constitute a violation of
any applicable federal or state securities laws. You also agree that (a) the Company may refuse to
cause the transfer of any such shares of the Common Stock to be registered on the stock register of
the Company if such proposed transfer would in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company
constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities law and (b) the Company may
give related instructions to the transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the transfer of
such shares of the Common Stock.



     The shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan are registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under a Registration Statement on Form S-8. A Prospectus
describing the Plan and the shares of Common Stock and the Terms and Conditions can be found on
the Baker Hughes Direct website at www.bakerhughesdirect.com. You may obtain a
copy of the Plan Prospectus by requesting it from the Company.



     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 Restricted Stock Units 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.

BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED




TERMS AND CONDITIONS

OF

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENTS

(January 19, 2010)




     These Terms and Conditions are applicable to a restricted stock unit award granted pursuant to
the Baker Hughes Incorporated 2002 Director & Officer Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and are
incorporated as part of the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement setting forth the terms of such
option (the “Agreement”).




	1.	 	TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT/CHANGE IN CONTROL. The following provisions will apply in the
event your employment with the Company and all Affiliates (collectively, the “Company Group”)
terminates, or a Change in Control of the Company occurs, before the third anniversary of the
Grant Date (the “Third Anniversary Date”) under the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement
awarded to you (the “Agreement”):
	 
	 	 	1.1 Termination Generally. If your employment with the Company Group terminates on
or before the Third Anniversary Date for any reason other than one of the reasons described
in Sections 1.2 through 1.5 below, the Forfeiture Restrictions then applicable to the
Restricted Stock Units shall not lapse and the number of Restricted Stock Units then
subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions shall be forfeited to the Company on the date your
employment terminates.






	 	 	1.2 Potential or Actual Change in Control.






(i) Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason in Connection With a Potential
Change in Control on or Before the Third Anniversary Date. If (a) the Company
Group terminates your employment without Cause on or before the Third Anniversary
Date prior to a Change in Control of the Company (whether or not a Change in Control
ever occurs) and such termination is at the request or direction of a Person who has
entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which would
constitute a Change in Control of the Company or is otherwise in connection with or
in anticipation of a Change in Control of the Company (whether or not a Change in
Control ever occurs) or (b) you terminate your employment with the Company Group for
Good Reason on or before the Third Anniversary Date prior to a Change in Control of
the Company (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs), and such termination
or the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason occurs at the request or
direction of a Person who has entered into an agreement with the Company the
consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control of the Company or is
otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control of the
Company (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs), then all remaining
Forfeiture Restrictions shall immediately lapse on the date of your Separation From
Service if you are not a Specified Employee or on the date that is six months
following your Separation From Service if you are a Specified Employee. For
purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Separation From Service” has the meaning
ascribed to that term in Section 409A and “Specified Employee” means a person who
is, as of the date of the person’s Separation From Service, a “specified



1









 







employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, taking into account the elections made
and procedures established in resolutions adopted by the Administrative Committee of
Baker Hughes. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Section 409A” means
section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the Department of
Treasury rules and regulations issued thereunder.




(ii) Employment Not Terminated Before a Change in Control on or Before the Third
Anniversary Date. If a Change in Control of the Company occurs on or before the
Third Anniversary Date and your employment with the Company Group does not terminate
before the date the Change in Control of the Company occurs, then all remaining
Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse at the time specified below. All remaining
Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse on the date the Change in Control of the Company
occurs if the Change in Control of the Company qualifies as a change in the
ownership or effective control of the corporation, or in the ownership of a
substantial portion of the assets of the corporation, within the meaning of Section
409A, or (b) on the Third Anniversary Date, if the Change in Control of the Company
does not so qualify.




1.3 Divestiture of Business Unit Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Agreement or these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, if the Company Group divests its
ownership of a business unit of the Company or one or more Affiliates (a “Unit”) and your
employment with the Company Group terminates in connection with such divestiture (other
than for Cause or death or due to your becoming permanently disabled within the meaning of
Section 1.4), the Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse at the time specified below as to
that number of Restricted Stock Units that are then subject to Forfeiture Restrictions on
the date of the termination of your employment relationship with the Company Group equal
to:



(1) multiplied by (2) divided by (3)





where (1) is the number of Restricted Stock Units that are then subject to Forfeiture
Restrictions on the date of the termination of your employment relationship with the Company
Group, (2) is the number of days during the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending
on the date your employment relationship with the Company Group and all of its Affiliates is
terminated, and (3) is the number of days during the period commencing on the Grant Date and
ending on the Third Anniversary Date. Such Forfeiture Restrictions specified in the
preceding sentence shall lapse on the date the Change in Control of the Company occurs if
the Change in Control of the Company qualifies as a change in the ownership or effective
control of the corporation, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of
the corporation, within the meaning of Section 409A, or (b) on the Third Anniversary Date,
if the Change in Control of the Company does not so qualify. The Forfeiture Restrictions
then applicable to all the remaining Restricted Stock Units after the application of the
previous provisions of this Section 1.3 shall not lapse and such Restricted Stock Units
shall be immediately forfeited to the Company. A “Divestiture” includes the disposition of
a Unit to an entity that the Company does not consolidate in its financial statements,
whether the disposition is structured as a sale or transfer of stock (or other ownership
interest), a merger, a consolidation or a sale or transfer of assets, or a combination
thereof, provided that a “Divestiture” shall not include a disposition that constitutes a
Change in Control.

1.4 Disability. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or these
Terms and Conditions to the contrary, if you become permanently disabled before the Third
Anniversary Date and while in the active employ of one or more members of the Company
Group, all remaining Forfeiture Restrictions shall immediately lapse on the date of the
termination of your employment due to your becoming permanently disabled. For purposes of
this Section 1.4, you will be “permanently disabled” if you (a) are unable to engage in any
substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental
impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a
continuous period of not less than 12 months, or (b) are, by reason of any medically
determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can
be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income
replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an accident and
health plan covering employees of the Company Group.




1.5 Death. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or these Terms and
Conditions to the contrary, if you die before the Third Anniversary Date and while in the
active employ of one or more members of the Company Group, all remaining Forfeiture
Restrictions shall immediately lapse on the date of the termination of your employment due
to death.




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






	3.	 	TAX WITHHOLDING. To the extent that the receipt of the Restricted Stock Units or the lapse
of any Forfeiture Restrictions results in income, wages or other compensation to you for any
income, employment or other tax purposes with respect to which the Company has a withholding
obligation, you shall deliver to the Company at the time of such receipt or lapse, as the case
may be, such amount of money as the Company may require to meet its obligation under
applicable tax laws or regulations, and, if you fail to do so, the Company is authorized to
withhold from any shares of Common Stock issued under the Agreement or from any cash or stock
remuneration or other payment then or thereafter payable to you any tax required to be
withheld by reason of such taxable income, wages or compensation including (without
limitation) shares of the Common Stock sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligation based
on the last per share sales

	 	 	price of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding the date that the
withholding obligation arises, as reported in the New York Stock Exchange Composite
Transactions.
	 
	4 .	 	NONTRANSFERABILITY. The Agreement is not transferable by you otherwise than by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution.
	 
	5 .	 	CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS AND REORGANIZATIONS. The existence of the Restricted Stock Units shall
not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or any company the stock of which is
awarded pursuant to the Agreement to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization,
reorganization or other change in its capital structure or its business, engage in any merger
or consolidation, issue any debt or equity securities, dissolve or liquidate, or sell, lease,
exchange or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its assets or business, or engage in any
other corporate act or proceeding.
	 
	6 .	 	RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS DO NOT AWARD ANY RIGHTS OF A SHAREHOLDER. You shall not have the
voting rights or any of the other rights, powers or privileges of a holder of the Common Stock
with respect to the Restricted Stock Units that are awarded hereby. Only after a share of the
Common Stock is issued in exchange for a Restricted Stock Unit will you have all of the rights
of a shareholder with respect to such share of Common Stock issued in exchange for a
Restricted Stock Unit.
	 
	7 .	 	EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP. For purposes of the Agreement, you shall be considered to be in the
employment of the Company Group as long as you have an employment relationship with the
Company Group. The Committee shall determine any questions as to whether and when there has
been a termination of such employment relationship, and the cause of such termination, under
the Plan and the Committee’s determination shall be final and binding on all persons.
	 
	8 .	 	NOT AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. The Agreement is not an employment agreement, and no provision
of the Agreement shall be construed or interpreted to create an employment relationship
between you and the Company or any Affiliate or guarantee the right to remain employed by the
Company or any Affiliate for any specified term.
	 
	9 .	 	SECURITIES ACT LEGEND. If you are an officer or affiliate of the Company under the
Securities Act of 1933, you consent to the placing on any certificate for shares of the Common
Stock issued under the Agreement an appropriate legend restricting resale or other transfer of
such shares except in accordance with such Act and all applicable rules thereunder.
	 
	10.	 	LIMIT OF LIABILITY. Under no circumstances will the Company or any Affiliate be liable for
any indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages (including lost profits) of any
form incurred by any person, whether or not foreseeable and regardless of the form of the act
in which such a claim may be brought, with respect to the Plan.






	11.	 	DATA PRIVACY. The Company’s Human Resources Department in Houston, Texas (U.S.A.)
administers and maintains the data regarding the Plan, the awardees and the restricted stock
units granted to awardees for all employees in the Company Group worldwide.




4









 






	   	 	The data administered and maintained by the Company includes information that may be
considered personal data, including the name of the awardee, the award granted and the
number of restricted units included in any award (“Employee Personal Data”). From time to
time during the course of your employment in the Company Group, the Company may transfer
certain of your Employee Personal Data to Affiliates as necessary for the purpose of
implementation, administration and management of your participation in the Plan (the
“Purposes”), and the Company and its Affiliates may each further transfer your Employee
Personal Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation,
administration and management of the Plan (collectively, “Data Recipients”). The countries
to which your Employee Personal Data may be transferred may have data protection standards
that are different than those in your home country and that offer a level of data protection
that is less than that in your home country.
	 
	   	 	In accepting the award of the Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Agreement, you hereby
expressly acknowledge that you understand that from time to time during the course of your
employment in the Company Group the Company may transfer your Employee Personal Data to Data
Recipients for the Purposes. You further acknowledge that you understand that the countries
to which your Employee Personal Data may be transferred may have data protection standards
that are different than those in your home country and that offer a level of data protection
that is less than that in your home country.
	 
	   	 	Further, in accepting the award of the Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Agreement,
you hereby expressly affirm that you do not object, and you hereby expressly consent, to the
transfer of your Employee Personal Data by the Company to Data Recipients for the Purposes
from time to time during the course of your employment in the Company Group.
	 
	12.	   	MISCELLANEOUS. The Agreement is awarded pursuant to and is subject to all of the provisions
of the Plan, including amendments to the Plan, if any. In the event of a conflict between
these Terms and Conditions and the Plan provisions, the Plan provisions will control. The
terms “you” and “your” refer to the Participant named in the Agreement. Capitalized terms
that are not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan or the
Agreement.
