KBR

BENEFIT RESTORATION PLAN




W I T N E S S E T H:




          WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Halliburton Company (“Halliburton”) has previously adopted
the Halliburton Company Benefit Restoration Plan, as most recently amended and restated effective
January 1, 2004, for the benefit of its employees and the employees of its subsidiaries to aid such
employees in making more adequate provision for their retirement; and




          WHEREAS, Halliburton determined that it would be appropriate and desirable for Halliburton to
separate the business and assets of KBR, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, from the
business and assets of Halliburton and its other subsidiaries through an initial public offering of
the common stock of the Company; and




          WHEREAS, Halliburton plans to take action which will result in the Company and its
subsidiaries ceasing to be a member of the Halliburton controlled group; and




          WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide benefits for certain of its new employees including
certain current employees who had previously participated in the HAL Plan, as hereafter defined;
and




          WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the HAL Plan, each Employer thereunder was liable for the
benefits related to its employees, and the Company and the Employers hereunder desire to continue
to provide to such employees an opportunity to make deferrals of certain amounts, consistent with
the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the “Code”); and




          WHEREAS, the provisions of the HAL Plan, as amended through the Effective Date, will remain in
effect for all deferrals prior to the Effective Date; and




          WHEREAS, the Company desires to preserve the material terms of the HAL Plan as in effect on
December 31, 2004 (the “Grandfathered Plan”) in order that the Grandfathered Plan qualify as a
grandfathered plan for purposes of Section 409A of the Code; and




          WHEREAS, certain provisions applicable solely to the Grandfathered Plan are preserved in
Appendix A, for purposes of determining the terms applicable to amounts deferred under the
Grandfathered Plan, which provisions shall be substituted for the corresponding provisions
contained herein.




          NOW THEREFORE, the HAL Plan, including the Grandfathered Plan, is hereby continued for
Participants with the terms set forth below, and is hereby renamed the KBR Benefit Restoration Plan
to read as follows, effective as of the Effective Date:

162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Administration of the Plan




          (A) The Compensation Committee shall appoint a Committee to administer, construe and interpret
the Plan. Such Committee, or such successor Committee as may be duly appointed by the
Compensation Committee, shall serve at the pleasure of the Compensation Committee. Decisions of the
Committee, with respect to any matter involving the Plan, shall be final and binding on the
Company, its shareholders, each Employer and all officers and other executives of the Employers.
For purposes of ERISA, the Committee shall be the Plan “administrator” and shall be the “named
fiduciary” with respect to the general administration of the Plan.




          (B) The Committee shall maintain complete and adequate records pertaining to the Plan,
including but not limited to Participants’ Accounts, amounts transferred to the Trust, reports from
the Trustee and all other records which shall be necessary or desirable in the proper
administration of the Plan. The Committee shall furnish the Trustee such information as is required
to be furnished by the Committee or the Company pursuant to the Trust Agreement.




          (C) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee against any and
all expenses and liabilities arising out of his or her administrative functions or fiduciary
responsibilities, including any expenses and liabilities that are caused by or result from an act
or omission constituting the negligence of such member in the performance of such functions or
responsibilities, but excluding expenses and liabilities that are caused by or result from such
member’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Expenses against which such member shall be
indemnified hereunder shall include, without limitation, the amounts of any settlement or judgment,
costs, counsel fees, and related charges reasonably incurred in connection with a claim asserted or
a proceeding brought or settlement thereof.




          (D) The Committee may designate any Subsidiary as an Employer by written instrument delivered
to the Secretary of the Company and the designated Employer. Such written instrument shall specify
the effective date of such designated participation, may incorporate specific provisions relating
to the operation of the Plan which apply to the designated Employer only and shall become, as to
such designated Employer and its employees, a part of the Plan. Each designated Employer shall be
conclusively presumed to have consented to its designation and to have agreed to be bound by the
terms of the Plan and any and all amendments thereto upon its submission of information to the
Committee required by the terms of or with respect to the Plan; provided, however, that the terms
of the Plan may be modified so as to increase the obligations of an Employer only with the consent
of such Employer, which consent shall be conclusively presumed to have been given by such Employer
upon its submission of any

3









 








information to the Committee required by the terms of or with respect to the Plan. Except as
modified by the Committee in its written instrument, the provisions of this Plan shall be
applicable with respect to each Employer separately, and amounts payable hereunder shall be paid by
the Employer which employs the particular Participant, if not paid from the Trust Fund.




          (E) No member of the Committee shall have any right to vote or decide upon any matter relating
solely to himself or herself under the Plan or to vote in any case in which his or her individual
right to claim any benefit under the Plan is particularly involved. In any case in which an
Committee member is so disqualified to act and the remaining members cannot agree, the Compensation
Committee shall appoint a temporary substitute member to exercise all the powers of the
disqualified member concerning the matter in which he or she is disqualified.




ARTICLE IV  




Allocations Under the Plan;

Participation in Plan; Selection for Awards




          (A) The Committee shall determine for each Allocation Year which Participants’ allocations of
Employer contributions (other than matching contributions) under qualified defined contribution
plans sponsored by the Employers have been reduced for such Allocation Year by reason of the
application of Section 401 (a)(17) or Section 415 of the Code, or any combination of such Sections,
or by reason of elective deferrals under the KBR Elective Deferral Plan, and shall allocate to the
credit of each such Participant under the Plan an amount equal to the amount of such reductions
applicable to such Participant. In addition, the Committee shall allocate to the credit of each
Participant under the Plan the amount of Employer matching contributions that would have been
allocated to such Participant’s account under Employer’s qualified defined contribution plan with
respect to (i) the amount of such Participant’s compensation (as such term is defined in
Employer’s qualified defined contribution plan) deferred under the KBR Elective Deferral Plan for
such Allocation Year and (ii) the amount of such compensation not so deferred that is in excess of
the compensation limit under Section 401 (a)(17) of the Code for such Allocation Year.




          (B) Pursuant to proposed Treasury Regulation §1.409A-2(b)(5)(i), the Compensation Committee
will allocate to the credit of a Participant under the Plan all or any part of any remuneration
payable by the Employer to such Participant which would otherwise be treated as excessive employee
remuneration within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code for any Allocation Year, rather than
paying such excessive remuneration to such Participant.




          (C) Allocations to Participants under the Plan shall be made by crediting their respective
Account on the books of their Employers as of the last day of the Allocation Year, except that an
allocation under Paragraph (B) shall be credited to a Participant on the date the amount would have
been paid to the Participant had it not been deferred pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph (B).
Accounts of Participants shall also be credited with interest as of the last day of each Allocation
Year, at the rate set forth in Paragraph (D) below, on the average monthly credit balance of the
Account being calculated by using the balance of each Account on the first day of each month. Prior
to Termination of Service, the annual interest shall accumulate as a part of the Account balance.
After Termination of Service, the annual interest for such

4









 








Allocation Year shall be paid as more particularly set forth hereinafter in Article VII,
Paragraph (D).




          (D) Interest shall be credited on amounts allocated to Participants’ Account at the rate of
10% per annum.




ARTICLE V




Non-Assignability of Awards



No Participant shall have any right to commute, encumber, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of
or alienate any present or future right or expectancy which he or she may have at any time to
receive payments of any allocations made to such Participant, all such allocations being expressly
hereby made non-assignable and non-transferable; provided, however, that nothing in the Article
shall prevent transfer (A) by will, (B) by the applicable laws of descent and distribution or (C)
pursuant to an order that satisfies the requirements for a “qualified domestic relations order” as
such term is defined in section 206(d)(3)(B) of the ERISA and section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Code,
including an order that requires distributions to an alternate payee prior to a Participant’s
“earliest retirement age” as such term is defined in section 206(d)(3)(E)(ii) of the ERISA and
section 414(p)(4)(B) of the Code. Attempts to transfer or assign by a Participant (other than in
accordance with the preceding sentence) shall, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee
after consideration of such facts as it deems pertinent, be grounds for terminating any rights of
such Participant to any awards allocated to but not previously paid over to such Participant.




ARTICLE VI




Vesting



All amounts credited to a Participant’s Account shall be fully vested and not subject to forfeiture
for any reason except as provided in Article V.




ARTICLE VII




Distribution of Awards




          (A) Upon Termination of Service of a Participant the Committee (i) shall certify to the
Trustee or the treasurer of the Employer, as applicable, the amount credited to the Participant’s
Account on the books of each Employer for which the Participant was employed at a time when he or
she earned an award hereunder, and (ii) shall determine whether the payment of the amount credited
to the Participant’s Account under the Plan is to be paid directly by the applicable Employer, from
the Trust Fund, if any, or by a combination of such sources (except to the extent the provisions of
the Trust Agreement if any, specify payment from the Trust Fund).




          (B) Any amount payable under Paragraph (A) above shall be paid in a single lump sum payment
upon Termination of Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a “specified employee”
within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, any payment payable as a result of the
Employee’s termination of employment (other than death or Disability)

5









 








shall not be payable before the earlier of (i) the date that is six months after the
Employee’s termination of employment, (ii) the date of the Employee’s death, or (iii) the date that
otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 409A. For purposes of the Plan, a Participant
shall be a “specified employee” for the twelve-month period beginning on April 1 of a Plan Year if
the Participant is a “key employee” as defined in Section 416(i) of the Code (without regard to
Section 416(i)(5) of the Code) as of December 31 of the preceding Plan Year.




          (C) The Trustee or the treasurer of the Employer, as applicable, shall make payment of awards
in the manner required by Paragraph (B) above, subject to all of the other terms and conditions of
this Plan and the Trust Agreement, if any. This Plan shall be deemed to authorize the payment of
all or any portion of a Participant’s award from the Trust Fund, to the extent such payment is
required by the provisions of the Trust Agreement, if any.




          (D) Interest on any payment to be paid to a specified employee under Paragraph (B) above that
is delayed because of Section 409A shall be paid with the final payment. In such case, the
interest is accrued on an annual basis, and the “specified employee” will be entitled to the
prorated portion of such annual interest, as calculated up until the actual date of payout pursuant
to this Paragraph.




          (E) If a Participant shall die while in the service of an Employer, or after Termination of
Service and prior to the time when all amounts payable to him or her under the Plan have been paid
to such Participant, any remaining amounts payable to the Participant hereunder shall be payable to
the estate of the Participant. The Committee shall cause the Trustee or the treasurer of the
Employer, as applicable, to pay to the estate of the Participant all of the benefits then standing
to his or her credit in a lump sum.




          (F) If the Plan is terminated pursuant to the provisions of Article X, the Compensation
Committee may, at its election and in its sole discretion, cause the Trustee or the treasurer of
the Employer, as applicable, to pay to all Participants all of the awards then standing to their
credit in the form of lump sum payments, provided such distribution is in compliance with the
requirements of Section 409A.




ARTICLE VIII




Nature of Plan



This Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Employers to make benefit payments in the future and
Participants have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Employers. Further, the adoption
of this Plan and any setting aside of amounts by the Employers with which to discharge their
obligations hereunder shall not be deemed to create a trust; legal and equitable title to any funds
so set aside shall remain in the Employers, and any recipient of benefits hereunder shall have no
security or other interest in such funds. Any and all funds so set aside shall remain subject to
the claims of the general creditors of the Employers, present and future. This provision shall not
require the Employers to set aside any funds, but the Employers may set aside such funds if they
choose to do so.





6









 








ARTICLE IX




Funding of Obligation



Article VIII above to the contrary notwithstanding, the Employers may fund all or part of their
obligations hereunder by transferring assets to a domestic trust if the provisions of the trust
agreement creating the Trust require the use of the Trust’s assets to satisfy claims of an
Employer’s general unsecured creditors in the event of such Employer’s insolvency and provide that
no Participant shall at any time have a prior claim to such assets. Any transfers of assets to a
trust may be made by each Employer individually or by the Company on behalf of all Employers. The
assets of the Trust shall not be deemed to be assets of this Plan.




ARTICLE X




Amendment or Termination of Plan



The Compensation Committee shall have the power and right from time to time to modify, amend,
supplement, suspend or terminate the Plan as it applies to each Employer, provided that no such
change in the Plan may deprive a Participant of the amounts allocated to his or her Account or be
retroactive in effect to the prejudice of any Participant and the interest rate applicable to
amounts credited to Participants’ Accounts for periods subsequent to Termination of Service shall
not be reduced below 6% per annum. Any such modification, amendment, supplement, suspension or
termination shall be in writing and signed by a member of the Compensation Committee.




ARTICLE XI




General Provisions




          (A) No Participant shall have any preference over the general creditors of an Employer in the
event of such Employer’s insolvency.




          (B) Nothing contained herein shall be construed to give any person the right to be retained in
the employ of an Employer or to interfere with the right of an Employer to terminate the employment
of any person at any time.




          (C) If the Committee receives evidence satisfactory to it that any person entitled to receive
a payment hereunder is, at the time the benefit is payable, physically, mentally or legally
incompetent to receive such payment and to give a valid receipt therefor, and that an individual or
institution is then maintaining or has custody of such person and that no guardian, committee or
other representative of the estate of such person has been duly appointed, the Committee may direct
that such payment thereof be paid to such individual or institution maintaining or having custody
of such person, and the receipt of such individual or institution shall be valid and a complete
discharge for the payment of such benefit.




          (D) Payments to be made hereunder may, at the written request of the Participant, be made to a
bank account designated by such Participant, provided that deposits to

7









 






the credit of such Participant in any bank or trust company shall be deemed payment into his
or her hands.




          (E) Wherever any words are used herein in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, they shall
be construed as though they were also used in another gender in all cases where they would so
apply, and whenever any words are used herein in the singular or plural form, they shall be
construed as though they were also used in the other form in all cases where they would so apply.




          (F) THIS PLAN SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS EXCEPT TO
THE EXTENT PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW.




          (G) It is intended that the provisions of this Plan satisfy the requirements of Section 409A
and that the Plan be operated in a manner consistent with such requirements to the extent
applicable. Therefore, the Committee may make adjustments to the Plan and may construe the
provisions of the Plan in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A.




ARTICLE XII




Effective Date



This Plan shall be effective from the Effective Date and shall continue in force during subsequent
years unless amended or revoked by action of the Compensation Committee.

APPENDIX A



Articles XIII and XIV of the Plan are referred to as the “Grandfathered Plan”. The Grandfathered
Plan contains the provisions governing the deferrals of accounts earned and vested by Participants
on or before December 31, 2004. This Appendix A preserves the material terms of the Grandfathered
Plan as in effect on December 31, 2004, and is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A
as to grandfathered amounts. The provisions of this Appendix A shall apply to, and be effective
only with respect to, the deferral of earned and vested amounts under the Grandfathered Plan before
January 1, 2005, and the interest on the Trust Fund pursuant to Section (B) of Article XIII, below,
and credited at any time. The Plan provides for separate accounting of such amounts deferred,
earned, and vested before January 1, 2005, and such interest on the Trust Fund.



No amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to amend this Appendix A and the relevant provisions of
the Plan in effect prior to such amendment unless otherwise specifically set forth therein.
Pursuant to Section 1.409A-6(a)(4) of the Proposed Treasury Regulations, a modification is material
“if a benefit or right existing as of October 3, 2004 is materially enhanced or a new material
benefit or right is added....”



The provisions of the Plan applicable to the Grandfathered Plan Accounts shall be administered in a
manner consistent with the Grandfathered Plan and Appendix A. Wherever the Plan has added,
changed, or otherwise altered any terms of the Grandfathered Plan that were in effect on December
31, 2004, in a manner that would constitute a material modification, as described above, such
changes will be disregarded in the administration of the Grandfathered Plan Accounts herein.




ARTICLE XIII




Allocations Under the Plan; 

Participation in the Plan; Selection for Awards




          (A) There shall be no further allocations to any Participant under the Grandfathered Plan.




          (B) Interest shall be credited on amounts allocated to Participants’ Account at the rate of
10% per annum.




ARTICLE XIV




Distribution of Awards




          (A) Upon Termination of Service of a Participant the Committee (i) shall certify to the
Trustee or the treasurer of the Employer, as applicable, the amount credited to the Participant’s
Account on the books of each Employer for which the Participant was employed at a time when he or
she earned an award hereunder, and (ii) shall determine whether the payment of the amount credited
to the Participant’s Account under the Plan is to be paid directly by the




10









 







applicable Employer, from the Trust Fund, if any, or by a combination of such sources (except
to the extent the provisions of the Trust Agreement if any, specify payment from the Trust Fund)
and (iii) shall determine and certify to the Trustee or the treasurer of the Employer, as
applicable, the method of payment of the amount credited to a Participant’s Account, selected by
the Committee from among the following alternatives:





               (1) single lump sum payment upon Termination of Service;




               (2) payment of one-half of the Participant’s balance upon Termination of
Service, with payment of the additional one-half to be made on or before the last
day of a period of one year following Termination;




               (3) in monthly installments over a period not to exceed ten years with such
payments to commence upon Termination of Service.


The above notwithstanding, if the total amount credited to the Participant’s Account upon
Termination of Service is less than $50,000, such amount shall always be paid in a single lump sum
payment upon Termination of Service.




          (B) Interest on the second half of a payment under Paragraph (A)(2) above shall be paid with
the final payment, while interest on payments under Paragraph (A)(3) above may be paid at each year
end or may be paid as a part of a level monthly payment computed by the Committee through the use
of such methodologies as the Committee shall select from time to time for such purpose.




          (C) If a Participant shall die while in the service of an Employer, or after Termination of
Service and prior to the time when all amounts payable to him or her under the Plan have been paid
to such Participant, any remaining amounts payable to the Participant hereunder shall be payable to
the estate of the Participant. The Committee shall cause the Trustee or the treasurer of the
Employer, as applicable, to pay to the estate of the Participant all of the awards then standing to
his or her credit in a lump sum or in such other form of payment consistent with the alternative
methods of payment set forth above as the Committee shall determine after considering such facts
and circumstances relating to the Participant and his or her estate as it deems pertinent.




          (D) If the Plan is terminated pursuant to the provisions of Article X, the Compensation
Committee may, at its election and in its sole discretion, cause the Trustee or the treasurer of
the Employer, as applicable, to pay to all Participants all of the awards then standing to their
credit in the form of lump sum payments.
