CAMERON INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

Effective Date:  January 1, 2013

Performance Period:  2013, 2014 and 2015

This PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Award Agreement”) is between the employee named in the attached Notice of Grant of Award (“Participant”) and Cameron International Corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit (“PRSU”) Award granted to Participant by the Company under the Cameron International Corporation 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (as Amended and Restated) (the "Plan").  For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Employer” means the entity (the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company each such subsidiary or affiliate, a “Subsidiary”) that employs the Participant on the applicable date. All capitalized terms not defined in this Award Agreement shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan.

This Award covers the performance during the years 2013, 2014 and 2015 (the “Performance Period”). That portion of the Target Award which can be earned by performance based on Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) is subject to performance against a yearly ROIC goal for each of these three years.   That portion of the Award which can be earned by performance based on Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) is subject to a TSR goal for the three-year period.

This Award is performance based, and performance will be measured against the goals specified in your Notice of Grant of Award for TSR for the three-year period and for ROIC for 2013. Subsequent communications will specify the ROIC goals for each of the years 2014 and 2015.  The actual number of units earned under the Award and the actual value of the Award will be determined by performance against goals during the Performance Period and can range between 0 and 200% of the Target Award.

1.           Effective Date and Issuance of PRSUs.

(a)         The Company has granted to the Participant, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, an award of PRSUs (the “Award”) effective as of January 1, 2013.

(b)         This Award is a commitment to issue one share of Cameron common stock (“Shares”) for each PRSU actually earned pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement.  If Participant completes, signs, and returns one copy of the Award Agreement to the Company in Houston, Texas, U.S.A.

(c)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the PRSUs in the form of (i) a cash payment to the extent settlement in Shares (1) is prohibited under local law, (2) would require the Participant or the Company to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different), or (3) is administratively burdensome; or (ii) Shares, but require the Participant to immediately sell such Shares (in which case, this Award Agreement shall give the Company the authority to issue sales instructions on the Participant's behalf).

3.           Vesting Schedule.  The Award, to the extent earned, will become vested in 2016 upon the determination of actual performance achieved against goals by the Compensation Committee following completion of the Performance Period (the “Scheduled Vesting Date”), provided there has been continuous employment of the Participant by the Company and or Subsidiary from the date of Grant to the Scheduled Vesting Date, subject to the provisions of Sections 4(c) and 5 below.

(a)  Notwithstanding any other agreement between the Company and the Participant, upon termination of employment in connection with a “Change in Control” of the Company, the Award granted hereunder shall immediately become vested.

(b)         “Change in Control” for the purposes of this Award, shall mean the earliest date on which:

Anything else in this definition to the contrary notwithstanding, no Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred by virtue of any transaction which results in the Participant, or a group of Persons which includes the Participant, acquiring more than 20% of either the combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding voting securities or the voting securities of any other corporation or entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, whether by way of merger, consolidation, sale of such assets or otherwise.

(c)          For the purposes of this Award Agreement, a termination in connection with a Change in Control shall mean a Change in Control shall have occurred and there has occurred a termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or Subsidiary either by the Company of Subsidiary without “Cause”, as defined herein, or by the Participant’s for “good reason” during the effective period.

	
  

	
(i)

	
The “Effective Period” shall mean for the purposes of this Award Agreement the period from the earliest date to occur of any of the following:  (1) any of the events set forth under the definition of Change in Control shall have occurred, (2) the receipt by the Company of a Schedule 13D stating the intention of any person to take actions which if accomplished, would constitute a Change in Control; (3) the public announcement by any person of its intention to take any such action, in each case without regard for any contingency or condition which has not been satisfied on such date; (4) the agreement by the Company to enter into a transaction which, if consummated, would result in a Change in Control; or (5) consideration by the Board of a transaction which, if consummated, would result in a Change in Control.

If, however, an Effective Date occurs with respect to a proposed transaction which ceased to be actively considered but for which active consideration is received, the Effective Date with respect to the Change in Control that ultimately occurs shall be that date upon which consideration was revived and ultimately carried through to consummation and two years following the beginning of the period and the Change in Control.

(ii)

	
“Good Reason” for the purposes of the Award Agreement shall mean the following:  (1) a change in the Participant’s status, title(s) or positions(s) with the Company, including as an officer of the Company, which in the Participant’s reasonable judgment, does not represent a promotion, with commensurate adjustment of compensation, from the Participant’s status, title(s) and positions(s) immediately prior to the Effective Date; or the assignment to the Participant’s of any duties or responsibilities which, in the Participant’s reasonable judgment, are in consistent with such status, title(s) or positions(s); or any removal of the Participant’s from or any failure to reappoint or reelect the Participant’s to such position(s); provided that the circumstances described in this item (1) do not apply if as a result of the Participant’s Death, Retirement or Disability or following receipt by the Participant’s of written notice from the Company of the termination of the Participant’s employment for Cause; (2) a reduction by the Company any time after the Effective Date in the Participant’s then current base salary; (3) the failure by the Company to continue to effect any Plan in which the Participant’s were participating immediately prior to the Effective Date other than as a result of the normal expiration or amendment of any such Plan in accordance with its terms; or the taking of any action; or the failure to act, by the Company which would adversely affect the Participant’s continued participation in any such Plan on at least as favorable a basis to the Participant’s as is the case immediately prior to the Effective Date or which would materially reduce the Participant’s benefits under any such Plan or deprive the Participant’s of any material benefit enjoyed by you immediately prior to the Effective Date, except with the Participant’s express written consent; or (4) the relocation of the principal place of your employment to a location 25 mile further from the Participant’s principal residence without the Participant’s express written consent.

6.           Delivery of Shares.

(a)          Employed through Scheduled Vesting Date.  If the Participant is continuously employed with the Company or Subsidiary through the Scheduled Vesting Date the number of Shares equal to the number of PRSUs that have vested shall be delivered within 30 days following the Scheduled Vesting Date.

Upon termination of employment in connection with a Change in Control that also constitutes a “change in control event” within the meaning of U.S. Department of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) (a “Section 409A CIC”),  the number of Shares equal to the Participant’s vested PRSUs shall be delivered within 30 days following such Section 409A CIC or such termination, which is the later to occur.  Upon the occurrence of a change in control that is not a Section 409A CIC, the Shares underlying the Participant’s vested PRSUs shall be delivered within 30 days following the Change in Control or such termination, whichever is the later to occur.

(d)          Payment Net of Withholding Taxes. All payments of Awards are subject to the provisions of Section 10, hereof.  The Shares which the Award entitles the Participant to receive shall be delivered to the Participant, subject to withholding as provided in Section 12 below.

7.           Restrictions on Transfer.  Except as provided by the Plan, neither this Award nor any PRSUs covered hereby may be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, hypothecated or pledged by the Participant other than to the Company as a result of forfeiture of the units as provided herein.

8.           No Voting Rights.   The PRSUs granted pursuant to this Award, whether or not vested, will not confer any voting rights upon the Participant, unless and until the Award is paid in Shares.

9.           Changes in Capitalization. The PRSUs granted pursuant to this Award shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan relating to adjustments to corporate capitalization, provided, however, that in the event of any reorganization, recapitalization, dividend or distribution (whether in cash, shares or other property, other than a regular cash dividend), stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in corporate structure affecting the Shares underlying the PRSUs subject to this Award, the Award shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change, but only so far as is necessary to maintain the proportionate interest of the Participant and preserve, without exceeding, the value of such Award.

10.         Covenant Not To Compete, Solicit or Disclose Confidential Information.

(a)         The Participant acknowledges that the Participant is in possession of and has access to confidential information, including material relating to the business, products and/or services of the Company and that he or she will continue to have such possession and access during employment by the Company.  The Participant also acknowledges that the Company’s business, products and services are highly specialized and that it is essential that they be protected, and, accordingly, the Participant agrees that as partial consideration for the Award granted herein that should the Participant engage in any “Detrimental Activity,” as defined below, at any time during his or her employment or during a period of one year following his or her termination the Company shall be entitled to: (i) recover from the Participant the value of any portion of the Award that has been paid; (ii) seek injunctive relief against the Participant; (iii) recover all damages, court costs, and attorneys’ fees incurred by the Company in enforcing the provisions of this Award, and (iv) set-off any such sums to which the Company is entitled hereunder against any sum which may be owed the Participant by the Company.

(b)         “Detrimental Activity” for the purposes hereof, other than with respect to involuntary termination without cause, termination in connection with or as a result of a “Change in Control” (as defined in Section 10(b) hereof), or termination following a reduction in job responsibilities, shall include: (i) rendering of services for any person or organization, or engaging directly or indirectly in any business, which is or becomes competitive with the Company; (ii) disclosing to anyone outside the Company, or using in other than the Company’s business, without prior written authorization from the Company, any confidential information including material relating to the business, products or services of the Company acquired by the Participant during employment with the Company; (iii) soliciting, interfering, inducing, or attempting to cause any employee of the Company to leave his or her employment, whether done on Participant’s own account or on account of any person, organization or business which is or becomes competitive with the Company, or (iv) directly or indirectly soliciting the trade or business of any customer of the Company.  “Detrimental Activity” for the purposes hereof with respect to involuntary termination without cause, termination in connection with or as a result of a “Change in Control”, or termination following a reduction in job responsibilities, shall include only part (ii) of the preceding sentence.

11.        Nature of Grant.

In accepting the award of PRSUs, Participant acknowledges that:

(a)         The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Award Agreement.

(b)         The grant of PRSUs is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive an award or benefits in lieu of an award in the future; future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.

(c)         The Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan.

(d)         A PRSU is an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Participant’s employer (“Employer”), and which is outside the scope of the Participant's employment contract, if any.

(e)         The PRSUs are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or the Employer.

(f)         The PRSUs will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company; and furthermore, the PRSUs will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any Subsidiary.

(g)         This Agreement shall not confer upon the Participant any right to continuation of employment by the Employer, nor shall this Agreement interfere in any way with the Employer’s right to terminate the Participant's employment at any time, as may be permitted under local law.

 

  

7

  

(h)         The future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.

(i)           If the PRSUs vest and the Participant obtains Shares, the value of those Shares acquired may increase or decrease in value.

(j)           In consideration of the grant of the PRSUs, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the PRSUs, or diminution in value of the PRSUs or Shares acquired upon settlement of the PRSUs, resulting from termination of the Participant's employment (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer (if different) from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting this Award, the Participant will be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Participant's entitlement to pursue such claim.

(k)          In the event of involuntary termination of Participant’s employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), Participant’s right to receive the PRSUs and vest under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that Participant is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); furthermore, in the event of involuntary termination of employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), Participant’s right to receive Shares pursuant to the PRSUs after termination of employment, if any will be measured by the date of termination of Participant’s active employment and will not be extended by a notice period mandated under local law; the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively employed for purposes of the award of the PRSUs.

(l)           The PRSUs and benefits under the Plan, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger, take-over or transfer of liability.

12.         Notices.  All notices required or permitted under this Award Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or by mailing the same by registered or certified mail postage prepaid, to the other party.  Notice given by mail as below set out shall be deemed delivered at the time and on the date the same is postmarked.

Notices to the Company should be addressed to:

Cameron International Corporation

1333 West Loop South, Suite 1700

Houston, Texas 77027

Attention:  Corporate Secretary

Telephone:  713-513-3322

13.         Tax and Social Insurance Withholding.

(a)         Regardless of any action the Company or Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax (including foreign, federal, state and local taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to him or her (“Tax-Related Items”), Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by Participant is and remains his or her responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or Employer.  Participant further acknowledges that the Company or Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the PRSUs, including the grant of the PRSUs, the vesting of the PRSUs, the conversion of the PRSUs into Shares or the receipt of any equivalent cash payment, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired at vesting, and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the PRSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for the Tax-Related Items.

 

  

8

  

(b)         Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event (“Tax Date”), as applicable, Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, Participant authorized the Company, Employer or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:  (i) accept a cash payment in U.S. Dollars in the amount of the Tax-Related Items, (ii) withhold whole Shares which would otherwise be delivered to Participant having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, or withhold an amount of cash from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation which would otherwise be payable to Participant by the Company or from any equivalent cash payment received upon vesting of the PRSUs, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation, (iii) withhold from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon issuance of the PRSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization), or (iv) a cash payment to the Company by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company to whom Participant has submitted an irrevocable notice of sale.

(c)         To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares due to him or her at vesting, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of Participant’s participation in the Plan.  Finally, Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to issue Shares to the Participant if Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described herein.

14.        Repatriation; Compliance with Laws. If The Participant is resident or employed outside of the United States, the Participant may be required to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends and any proceeds derived from the sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the PRSUs) in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in the Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different). It is the Participant’s responsibility to comply with all foreign exchange rules and all other local compliance requirements that he or she may be subject to with respect to his or her participation in the Plan.  In addition, the Participant is required to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be necessary to allow the Company and its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different). The Participant is also required to take any and all actions as may be necessary to comply with the Participant's personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different).

15.        Securities Matters. The Company shall not be required to deliver any Shares until the requirements of any federal, state or foreign securities or other laws, rules or regulations (including the rules of any securities exchange) as may be determined by the Company to be applicable are satisfied. If the Participant is resident or employed outside of the United States, neither the grant of the PRSUs under the Plan nor the issuance of the underlying Shares upon settlement of the PRSUs is intended to be a public offering of securities in the Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different). The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings to the local securities authorities in jurisdictions outside of the United States unless otherwise required under local law.

16.        Legal Requirements and Risks. No employee of the Company or a Subsidiary is permitted to advise the Participant on whether the Participant should acquire Shares under the Plan. Acquiring Shares involves a degree of risk. Before deciding to acquire Shares pursuant to the PRSUs, the Participant should carefully consider all risk factors relevant to the acquisition of Shares under the Plan and the Participant should carefully review all of the materials related to the PRSUs and the Plan. In addition, the Participant should consult with the Participant's own financial advisor and legal advisor for professional investment advice.

17.        Electronic Delivery/Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the PRSUs by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

18.        Consent to Collection, Processing and Transfer of Personal Data.

 

(a)         Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the Company and the Employer (if different) hereby notify the Participant of the following in relation to the Participant's personal data and the collection, processing and transfer of such data in relation to the Company’s grant of this Award and the Participant's participation in the Plan. The collection, processing and transfer of the Participant's personal data are necessary for the Company’s administration of the Plan and the Participant's participation in the Plan. The Participant's denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal data may affect the Participant's participation in the Plan. The Participant voluntarily acknowledges and consents (where required under applicable law) to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described herein.

(b)         The Company and the Employer (if different) hold certain personal information about the Participant, including the Participant's name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all awards or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant's favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). The Data may be provided by the Participant or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and Employer (if different) will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant's participation in the Plan. The Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures strictly correlated to the purposes for which Data are collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations in the Participant's country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought.

Notifications.

This Appendix also includes country-specific information of which Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan.  The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2013.  Such laws are often complex and change frequently.  As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant does not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that he or she vests in the RSUs and Shares are issued to him or her or the Shares issued upon vesting of the RSUs are sold.

 

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Participant of any particular result.  Accordingly, Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to his or her particular situation.  Finally, please note that if Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the country in which he or she is currently working, or transfers employment after grant, the information contained in the Appendix may not be applicable.

Labor Law Acknowledgement and Policy Statement.

In accepting the RSUs, Participant expressly recognizes that the Company with registered offices in the United States of America, is solely responsible for the administration of the Plan and that Participant’s participation in the Plan and acquisition of Shares does not constitute an employment relationship between Participant and the Company since Participant is participating the Plan on a wholly commercial basis.

Participant further understands that Participant’s participation in the Plan is as a result of a unilateral and discretionary decision of the Company; therefore, the Company reserves the absolute right to amend and/or discontinue Participant’s participation at any time without any liability to Participant.

 

Finally, Participant hereby declares that Participant does not reserve to himself or herself any action or right to bring any claim against the Company for any compensation or damages regarding any provision of the Plan or the benefits derived under the Plan, and Participant therefore grants a full and broad release to the Company, its Subsidiary, Affiliates, branches, representation offices, its shareholders, officers, agents or legal representatives with respect to any claim that may arise.
