Baker Hughes Company TSR Performance Share Unit Award Agreement For [●] (“Participant”)
1.Capitalized Terms. Each capitalized term used but not defined in this Award Agreement (including Appendix A) shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Baker Hughes Company 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
2.    Grant. The Committee of Baker Hughes Company (the “Company”) has granted Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) to the individual named in this Award Agreement (the “Participant”) on [●] (the “Grant Date”).  Each PSU entitles the Participant to receive from the Company one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Share”), for which the restrictions set forth in paragraph 4 lapse in accordance with the terms of this Award Agreement, the Plan, any country specific addendums and any rules and procedures adopted by the Committee. The target number of PSUs reflected in the Participant’s Plan account maintained by Fidelity Stock Plan Services (the “Target PSUs”) is the number of PSUs that the Participant may earn if the Performance Condition is satisfied at the target level.  The actual number of PSUs that the Participant may earn may be less than or more than the Target PSUs, depending upon actual performance, as specified in paragraph 4. Shares may be adjusted or converted into other property or cash pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. 
3.    No Dividend Equivalents. No Dividend Equivalents will be paid to the Participant with respect to the PSUs. 
4.    Restrictions. 
a.    Lapse of Restrictions Generally. Except as specified in paragraph 6(a), restrictions on the PSUs will lapse to the extent that both the Service Condition and the Performance Condition are satisfied, based on the Committee Certification.  Subject to paragraphs 5 and 6, the “Service Condition” will be satisfied with respect to the PSUs only if the Participant has been continuously employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries through the End Date, and the “Performance Condition” will be satisfied with respect to between 0% and 150% of the Target PSUs based on attainment of Relative TSR in accordance with Appendix A. After the end of the Performance Period and prior to the issuance or delivery of any Shares pursuant to paragraph 7, the Committee shall certify the extent, if any, to which the Performance Condition was achieved.
b.    Maximum Value Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Award Agreement to the contrary, if the Final Value of the Shares otherwise issuable on lapse of the restrictions on the PSUs, as determined in accordance with this Award Agreement, exceeds the applicable Maximum Value, the number of Shares issued to the Participant will be reduced so that the Final Value of  the number of Shares issued is equal to such Maximum Value. “Final Value” means the closing price of a Share on the End Date, multiplied by the number of Shares otherwise issuable on lapse of the restrictions applicable to the PSUs (assuming for such purpose that the immediately preceding sentence did not apply). “Maximum Value” means the closing price of a Share on the Grant Date multiplied by the Target PSUs, multiplied by 5.

c.     Negative TSR. Notwithstanding anything in this Award Agreement to the contrary, if (i) the TSR of a Share is negative and (ii) the number of Shares otherwise issuable on lapse of the restrictions applicable to the PSUs, as determined in accordance with this Award Agreement, exceeds the number of Target PSUs, the number of Shares issued to the Participant will equal the number of Target PSUs.  
5.    Termination of Employment. If the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries terminates prior to the End Date, the PSUs shall be immediately cancelled, except as follows:
a.    Employment Termination Due to Death. If the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries terminates prior to the End Date as a result of the Participant’s death, the Service Condition shall be deemed fully satisfied as of the date of such termination, and, subject to paragraph 6(a), the PSUs shall remain subject to the Performance Condition. 
b.    Involuntary Termination Without Cause Following a Change in Control. If the Participant incurs a Separation From Service due to an Involuntary Termination  without Cause during the 12-month period following a Change in Control, the Service Condition shall be deemed to be fully satisfied for all PSUs awarded hereby on the date of the Participant’s Separation From Service if the Participant is not a Specified Employee or on the date that is six months following the Participant’s Separation From Service if the Participant is a Specified Employee.   For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Involuntary Termination” means the Separation From Service of the Participant (i) because the Participant’s position is eliminated, (ii) because the Participant and the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or, upon or following a Change in Control, any of their successors, agree to the Participant's resignation of his or her position at the request of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or, upon or following a Change in Control, any of their successors, or (iii) because  the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or, upon or following a Change in Control, any of their successors, terminates the employment of the Participant without Cause.  For purposes of this Award Agreement, an “Involuntary Termination” does not include (i) a termination of employment for Cause, (ii) the Participant’s death or Disability or retirement or (v) a voluntary termination of employment by the Participant. For purposes of this Award Agreement, “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 employee” within the meaning of Section 409A.  For purposes of this Award Agreement,  “Section 409A” means section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the Department of Treasury rules and regulations issued thereunder.

c.    Employment Termination, Eligibility for Retirement or Occurrence of Total Disability More Than One Year After Grant Date.  If, on or after the first anniversary of the Grant Date and prior to the End Date, the Participant incurs a Separation From Service due to an
