Exhibit 10.2

SCHLUMBERGER 2013 OMNIBUS STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

 

This Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (as may be amended, the “Agreement”) is granted effective as of [date] by Schlumberger Limited (the “Company”), for the benefit of [__________________] (“Employee”), pursuant to the Schlumberger 2013 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, as may be amended (the “Plan”).  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not defined herein are defined in the Plan.  

 

1.Award.  In consideration of Employee’s continued employment as hereinafter set forth, the Company hereby grants to Employee an award of “Restricted Stock Units.”  The number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this award are set forth in an award notice previously delivered to Employee (the “Award Notice”).  Restricted Stock Units are notional units of measurement denominated in shares of common stock of the Company, $.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”).  Each Restricted Stock Unit represents a hypothetical share of Common Stock, subject to the conditions and restrictions on transferability set forth herein and in the Plan.  

2.Vesting of Restricted Stock Units.  The period of time between the grant date specified in the Award Notice (the “Grant Date”) and the vesting of Restricted Stock Units (and the termination of restrictions thereon) is the “Restricted Period.”

(a)Normal Vesting.  The Restricted Stock Units will vest in a single vesting on the third anniversary of the Grant Date (“Vesting Date”), provided that the Employee has been continuously employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from the Grant Date to the Vesting Date.  Except as provided in Section 2(b) below, if there is any Termination of Employment (as defined in Section 11 below) during the period from and between the Grant Date until and including the Vesting Date, Employee will immediately and automatically forfeit all Restricted Stock Units.  Any questions as to whether and when there has been a Termination of Employment, and the cause of such termination, will be resolved by the Committee (as defined in Section 11 below), and its determination will be final.

(b)Acceleration on Death or Disability.  Upon Termination of Employment by reason of Employee’s death or Disability (as defined in Section 11 below) or upon Employee’s Disability prior to Termination of Employment (as determined by the Committee and within the meaning of Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”)), all Restricted Stock Units that are not vested at that time immediately and automatically will become vested in full.  

(c)Retirement.  Upon Termination of Employment from the Company and its Subsidiaries by reason of Employee’s Retirement (as defined in Section 11 below), the Restricted Stock Units will continue to vest following Termination of Employment as if Employee continued to be employed with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, subject to forfeiture in the discretion of the Committee in the event that Employee engages in Detrimental Activity (as defined in Section 11 below).

3.Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.  If Employee’s Restricted Stock Units vest in accordance with the normal vesting schedule described in the first sentence of Section 2(a) above or pursuant to Section 2(b) above, payment of vested Restricted Stock Units will be made as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event later than 2-1/2 months following the date that the Restricted Stock Units vest (the date of any such payment, the “Settlement Date”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, settle the vested Restricted Stock Units 

 

 

in cash based on the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 11 below) of the shares of Common Stock on the settlement date.

4.Forfeitures of Restricted Stock Units.  

(a)At any time during the Restricted Period, upon a Termination of Employment for any reason that does not result in an acceleration or continuation of vesting pursuant to Section 2, Employee will immediately and automatically forfeit all unvested Restricted Stock Units, without the payment of any consideration.  Upon forfeiture, neither Employee nor any successors, heirs, assigns or legal representatives of Employee will thereafter have any further rights or interest in the unvested Restricted Stock Units.

(b)Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time during the Restricted Period, Employee engages in Detrimental Activity, Employee will immediately and automatically forfeit all Restricted Stock Units without the payment of any consideration. Upon forfeiture, neither Employee nor any successors, heirs, assigns or legal representatives of Employee will thereafter have any further rights or interest in the unvested Restricted Stock Units.

 

5.Restrictions on Transfer.  

(a)Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder to Employee may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise (any of the foregoing, a “Transfer”), other than (i) to the Company as a result of the forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units, or (ii) by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  Payment of Restricted Stock Units after Employee’s death will be made to Employee’s estate or, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Committee, to the person or persons entitled to receive such payment under applicable laws of descent and distribution.

(b)Consistent with the foregoing, no right or benefit under this Agreement will be subject to Transfer, and any such attempt to Transfer, will have no effect and be void.  No right or benefit hereunder will in any manner be liable for or subject to any debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled to such benefits.  If Employee attempts to Transfer any right or benefit hereunder or if any creditor attempts to subject the same to a writ of garnishment, attachment, execution, sequestration, or any other form of process or involuntary lien or seizure, then such attempt will have no effect and be void and immediately upon any such attempt the Restricted Stock Units will terminate and become of no further effect.

6.Rights as a Stockholder.  Employee will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with regard to the Restricted Stock Units.  Rights as a stockholder of the Company will arise only if the Restricted Stock Units are settled in shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3 above.

7.Taxes.  To the extent that the receipt of Restricted Stock Units hereunder or the payment upon lapse of any restrictions results in income to Employee for federal or state income tax purposes or in any other case where the Company holds the view that it is obligated to withhold taxes, Employee shall deliver to the Company immediately prior to the time of such receipt or lapse, as the case may be, such amount of money or shares of Common Stock owned by Employee, at Employee’s election, as the Company may require to meet its obligation under applicable tax laws or regulations, and, if Employee fails to do so, the Company is authorized to withhold for a number of vested Restricted Stock Units or cash or other form of remuneration then or thereafter payable to Employee equal to any tax required to be withheld due to such resulting compensation income.

8.Changes in Capital Structure.  As more fully described in the Plan, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock at any time are changed or exchanged by declaration of a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, or recapitalization, the number and kind of Restricted Stock Units will be appropriately and equitably adjusted so as to maintain their equivalence to the proportionate number of shares.

9.Compliance With Securities Laws.  The Company will not be required to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such issuance would violate the Securities Act of 1933 or any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations or the laws of any other country.  Prior to the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, the Company may require that Employee (or Employee’s legal representative upon Employee’s death or Disability) enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Company may reasonably request in order to comply with applicable securities laws or with this Agreement.

(a)give Employee or any other person or entity any right to be awarded any further Restricted Stock Units (or other form of stock incentive awards) other than in the sole discretion of the Committee;

Employee is deemed to accept the award of Restricted Stock Units under this Agreement and to agree that such award is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan unless Employee provides the Company written notification not later than 10 days after Employee’s receipt of this Agreement of Employee’s rejection of this award of Restricted Stock Units (in which case such awards will be forfeited and Employee will have no further right or interest therein as of such date).

Exhibit 10.3

SCHLUMBERGER 2013 OMNIBUS STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
2016 THREE YEAR PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

This Performance Share Unit Award Agreement (as may be amended, the “Agreement”) is granted effective as of [Date of Grant] by Schlumberger Limited (the “Company”), for the benefit of __________________ (“Employee”), pursuant to the Schlumberger 2013 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, as may be amended (the “Plan”).

1.Award.  In consideration of Employee’s continued employment as hereinafter set forth, the Company hereby grants to Employee an award of “Performance Share Units,” provided that (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement) the final number of Performance Share Units will be determined in accordance with the performance criteria set forth on Attachment I.  The target Performance Share Units subject to this award is set forth in an award notice previously delivered to Employee (the “Award Notice”). The Performance Share Units are notional units of measurement denominated in shares of common stock of the Company, $.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”). Each Performance Share Unit represents a right to receive one share of Common Stock or equivalent value, subject to the conditions and restrictions on transferability set forth herein and in the Plan.  

2.Vesting of Performance Share Units.  The period of time between the grant date specified in the Award Notice (the “Grant Date”) and the vesting of Performance Share Units (and the termination of restrictions thereon) is the “Performance Period.”  The Performance Share Units will vest as follows:

(a)On the first Friday following the first meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) in January 2019 (the “Vesting Date”), a number of Performance Share Units will vest based on the extent to which the Company has satisfied the performance condition set forth on Attachment I to this Agreement, provided that Employee is continuously employed by the Company through the Vesting Date and has not experienced a Termination of Employment as of such date. Except as provided in Sections 2(b) and 2(c) below, if there is any Termination of Employment (as defined in Section 11 below) during the period from and between the Grant Date until and including the Vesting Date, Employee will immediately and automatically forfeit all Performance Share Units.  Any questions as to whether and when there has been a Termination of Employment, and the cause of such termination, will be resolved by the Committee (as defined in Section 11 below), and its determination will be final.

(b)If Employee’s Termination of Employment (as defined in Section 11 below) occurs due to Retirement (as defined in Section 11 below), the Performance Share Units will vest in accordance with Section 2(a) above as if Employee had remained continuously employed by the Company through the Vesting Date.

(c)If Employee’s Termination of Employment (as defined in Section 11 below) occurs due to Special Retirement (as defined in Section 11), Disability (as defined in Section 11 below) or death on or after the first anniversary of the Grant Date, then on the Vesting Date the number of Performance Share Units that will vest is determined by multiplying (i) the number of Performance Share Units that would have vested as determined in accordance Section 2(a) above had Employee’s Termination of Employment not occurred and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapsed between the Grant Date and the date of Employee’s Termination of Employment and the denominator of which is 1095.

(d)If Employee ceases to be employed in a position eligible to receive Performance Share Units pursuant to this Agreement (as determined by the Committee) in its sole and absolute discretion) (an “Eligible Position”) the Performance Share Units will vest in accordance with Section 2(a) above, provided that Employee (x) remains continuously employed by the Company through the Vesting Date or (y) experiences a Qualifying Termination after Employee ceases to be employed in an Eligible Position. For the avoidance of doubt, if Employee experiences a Qualifying Termination (as defined in Section 11 below) after Employee ceases to be employed in an Eligible Position, the provisions of Section 2(b) or 2(c), as applicable, will determine the number of Performance Share Units that will vest on the Vesting Date.  

3.Settlement of Performance Share Units.  Payment of vested Performance Share Units shall be made in shares of Common Stock as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event later than 2-1/2 months following the Vesting Date (the date of any such payment, the “Settlement Date”); provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, settle the vested Performance Share Units in cash based on the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the Settlement Date.

4.Forfeitures of Performance Share Units.

(a)At any time during the Performance Period, upon a Termination of Employment for any reason that does not result in a continuation of vesting pursuant to Section 2, Employee will immediately and automatically forfeit all unvested Performance Share Units, without the payment of any consideration.  Upon forfeiture, neither Employee nor any successors, heirs, assigns or legal representatives of Employee will thereafter have any further rights or interest in the Performance Share Units.

(b)Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time during the Performance Period, Employee engages in Detrimental Activity, Employee will immediately and automatically forfeit all Performance Share Units without the payment of any consideration. Upon forfeiture, neither Employee nor any successors, heirs, assigns or legal representatives of Employee will thereafter have any further rights or interest in the unvested Performance Share Units.

5.Restrictions on Transfer.  

(a)Performance Share Units granted hereunder to Employee may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise (any of the foregoing, a “Transfer”), other than (i) to the Company 

	
 
	
[Form for Employees who did not receive 2013 Transition Award]
	
Page 2 of 9

 

 

as a result of the forfeiture of Performance Share Units, or (ii) by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  Payment of Performance Share Units after Employee’s death will be made to Employee’s estate or, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Committee, to the person or persons entitled to receive such payment under applicable laws of descent and distribution.

(b)Consistent with the foregoing, no right or benefit under this Agreement will be subject to Transfer, and any such attempt to Transfer, will have no effect and be void.  No right or benefit hereunder will in any manner be liable for or subject to any debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled to such benefits.  If Employee attempts to Transfer any right or benefit hereunder or if any creditor attempts to subject the same to a writ of garnishment, attachment, execution, sequestration, or any other form of process or involuntary lien or seizure, then such attempt will have no effect and be void and immediately upon any such attempt the Performance Share Units will terminate and become of no further effect.

6.Rights as a Stockholder.  Employee will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with regard to the Performance Share Units.  Rights as a stockholder of the Company will arise only if the Performance Share Units are settled in shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3 above. 

7.Taxes.  To the extent that the receipt of Performance Share Units hereunder or the payment upon lapse of any restrictions results in income to Employee for federal or state income tax purposes or in any other cases where the Company holds the view that it is obligated to withhold taxes, Employee shall deliver to the Company immediately prior to the time of such receipt or lapse, as the case may be, such amount of money or shares of Common Stock owned by Employee, at Employee’s election, as the Company may require to meet its obligation under applicable tax laws or regulations, and, if Employee fails to do so, the Company is authorized to withhold for a number of Performance Share Units or cash or other form of remuneration then or thereafter payable to Employee equal to any tax required to be withheld due to reason of such resulting compensation income.  The Performance Share Units are intended to be “short-term deferrals” exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and shall be construed and interpreted accordingly.

8.Changes in Capital Structure.  As more fully described in the Plan, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock at any time are changed or exchanged by declaration of a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, or recapitalization, the number and kind of Performance Share Units will be appropriately and equitably adjusted so as to maintain their equivalence to the proportionate number of shares.

9.Compliance With Securities Laws.  The Company will not be required to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such issuance would violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations or the laws of any other country.  Prior to the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, the Company may require that Employee (or Employee’s legal representative upon Employee’s death or Disability) enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Company may reasonably request in order to comply with applicable securities laws or with this Agreement.

ATTACHMENT I
Performance Conditions

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, vesting of the Performance Share Units is conditioned upon the Company achieving an average annual Return on Capital Employed (“ROCE”) greater than 12.5% for the period beginning on January 1, 2016 and ending on December 31, 2018 (the “Measurement Period”).  ROCE is equal to the sum of (i) income from continuing operations before charges and credits and (ii) the after tax impact of net interest expense, divided by the sum of (x) the average quarterly equity, including noncontrolling interests and (y) the average quarterly net debt.

The Average Annual ROCE shall be calculated as the average ROCE for each calendar year contained in the Measurement Period.

The number of Performance Share Units that will vest on the vesting date will be equal to the product of (i) the target Performance Share Units and (ii) the Payout Factor (with any fractional shares rounded up to the next whole share).

The ROCE achieved will be certified by the Committee and will determine the Payout Factor based on the chart below.  The Payout Factor for ROCE achievement levels between points on this chart will be determined by linear interpolation between the values listed.

[Insert ROCE Performance Achievement levels, 

Payout Factor and adjustment rules, if any.]
