Grantee), an employee of the Company or its Subsidiary, regarding an award (Award) of {# of
shares} shares of Common Stock (as defined in the Hydril Company 2000 Incentive Plan (the Plan))

Committee thereunder and are in effect on the date hereof. Except as defined herein, capitalized
terms shall have the same meanings ascribed to them under the Plan. For purposes of this
Restricted Stock Agreement: (a) Causemeans (i) the Grantees willful and continued failure to substantially
perform his duties with the Company or any such actual or anticipated failure after the
Grantees issuance of a notice of termination of Employment, after a written demand for
substantial performance is delivered to the Grantee by the Committee, which demand
specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that the Grantee has not
substantially performed his duties, (ii) upon the Grantees willful participation in conduct
which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise, or
(iii) upon there being substantial evidence that the Grantee is guilty of a crime classified
as a felony (or the equivalent thereof) under applicable law, or that the Grantee has been
convicted of such a crime. For purposes of this definition, no act, or failure to act, on
the Grantees part shall be deemed willful unless done, or omitted to be done, by the
Grantee not in good faith. (b) Change in Controlshall be conclusively deemed to have occurred if (and only if)
any of the following events shall have occurred: (a) after the date the Plan is approved by
the Board any person (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the United
States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time (the Exchange Act)),
other than a person who is a Nonemployee Director of the Company on the date the Plan is
approved by the Board or any person controlled by such a Nonemployee Director, becomes the
beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 35% or more of the combined voting
power of the Companys then outstanding voting securities without prior approval of a least
two-thirds of the members of the Board in office immediately prior to such persons
attaining such percentage interest; (b) the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation,
sale of assets or other reorganization, or a proxy contest, as a consequence of which
members of the Board in office immediately prior to such transaction or event thereafter
constitute less than a majority of the members of the board of directors or comparable
governing body of the entity that is the survivor

of such transaction or event or, in the case of sale of assets, the entity that is the
successor to the business of the Company; or (c) during any period of two consecutive years,
individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board (including for this
purpose any new member whose election or nomination for election by the Companys
stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the members then still in
office who were members at the beginning of such period) cease for any reason to constitute
at least a majority of the Board. (c) Disabilitymeans incapacity due to a physical or mental illness which continues
for a period of more than six (6) months, as determined by the Committee. (d) Employmentmeans employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 2. Vesting Schedule. (a) This Award shall vest with respect to 60% of the aggregate number of shares of

however, that the Grantee must be in continuous Employment from the Grant Date through the
applicable anniversary date in order for additional Restricted Stock to vest on such
anniversary. (b) All shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Award shall vest, irrespective of
the limitations set forth in subparagraph (a) above, provided that the Grantee has been in
continuous Employment since the Grant Date, upon the occurrence of: (i) a Change in Control; or (ii) the Grantees termination of Employment by reason of death or Disability. 3. Forfeiture of Award. Except as provided in any other agreement between the Grantee and the
Company, if the Grantees employment terminates other than by reason of death or Disability, all
