(As Amended and Restated as of January 1, 2005)

W I T N E S S E T H

     WHEREAS, Smith International, Inc. (the “Company”) maintains the Smith International, Inc.
Second Amended and Restated 1989 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) for the purpose
of providing additional incentives to officers and other valued employees of the Company; and

     WHEREAS, in Section 9.7 of the Plan, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”)
reserved the discretionary right to amend the Plan at any time; and

     WHEREAS, the Board now desires to amend the Plan, to (i) incorporate various requirements of
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), including, but not
limited to, certain transition rules thereunder and (ii) incorporate other provisions and changes
that the Committee deems advisable based on comments received from Institutional Shareholder
Services and the Company’s stockholders;

     NOW, THEREFORE, effective as January 1, 2008, the Plan is hereby amended by this First
Amendment thereto, as follows:

     1. A new Section 1.2(w) is added to the Plan as follows, and as a result, Sections 1.2(w)
through 1.2(uu) are renumbered to be Sections 1.2(x) through 1.2(vv):

     (w) Independent Director. A director who is an “independent director” as
defined in the New York Stock Exchange current listings, or by such other stock exchange as
may be applicable.

     2. Section 1.3(d) is amended by deleting the last sentence thereof and replacing it with the
following:

Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this subsection, (i) no amendment or other
modification of an Incentive Award shall be made to the extent such modification results in
any Stock Option with an exercise price less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on
the date of grant, (ii) no acceleration of the vesting of any Incentive Award shall be made,
except in the event of the Grantee’s death, Disability, or Retirement, or a Change in
Control, or another type of similar circumstance as determined by the Committee, and
(iii) no acceleration of vesting, extension of exercisability or other modification shall be
made that will subject the Grantee to adverse taxation under Code Section 409A.

     3. Section 1.3(g) is deleted in its entirety, and as a result Section 1.3(h) is renumbered to
be Section 1.3(g).

     4. The fourth paragraph of Section 1.4 is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:

     (b) With respect to any Stock Option or SAR granted to a Covered Employee that is
canceled or repriced (which may only occur subject to the approval of the Company’s
stockholders, as required under applicable securities laws and stock exchange requirements),
the number of Shares subject to such Stock Option or SAR shall continue to count against the
maximum number of Shares that may be the subject of Stock Options or SARs granted to such
Covered Employee hereunder and, in this regard, such maximum number shall be determined in
accordance with Code Section 162(m).

64

 

     5. Section 2.4(a) is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

     (a) Grant. The Committee may grant to Employees Stock Appreciation Rights that
are independent of Stock Options. All SARs granted under the Plan are intended to be exempt
from taxation as deferred compensation under Code Section 409A.

     6. Section 2.4(d) is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

     (d) Settlement. Effective for any SARs issued on or after January 1, 2005, upon
exercise of the SAR, the Grantee shall receive an amount equal to the Spread. The Spread,
less applicable withholdings, shall be payable only in Shares, the number of which shall be
determined based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the exercise date, within 30
calendar days after the exercise date. In no event shall any SAR be settled in any manner
other than by delivery of Shares. In addition, the Incentive Agreement under which such
SARs are awarded, or any other agreements or arrangements, shall not provide that the
Company will purchase any Shares delivered as a result of the exercise or vesting of a SAR.
Any SARs issued under the Plan prior to January 1, 2005 shall be subject to the settlement
provisions of the Plan as in effect prior to January 1, 2005, but only to the extent that
such settlement is not considered a payment of deferred compensation that would be subject
to Code Section 409A after December 31, 2004.

     7. Section 3 is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

SECTION 3

COMMON STOCK AWARDS

     3.1 Initial Award

     Each Outside Director shall receive, upon initial election or appointment to the Board,
the grant of a Common Stock Award for the number of Shares as deemed appropriate to provide
equity compensation to such Grantee having a Fair Market Value, effective as of the first
date of such Outside Director’s service on the Board, as determined and voted upon by the
Independent Directors of the Board from time to time in its discretion.

     3.2 Annual Award

     Each Outside Director shall receive an annual Common Stock Award on each Award Date
with respect to service rendered by the Grantee during the 12-month period ending on such
annual Award Date. The Shares subject to the annual Common Stock Award shall be such number
as deemed appropriate to provide equity compensation to such Grantee having a Fair Market
Value as determined by the Independent Directors of the Board from time to time, and
effective as of the Award Date. The Award Date for annual Common Stock Awards shall be made
on the date of the annual Board meeting with respect to the Grantee’s service as an Outside
Director during the 12-month period ending on such annual Award Date. The annual Common
Stock Awards shall not be prorated for partial service of any Outside Director, except as
described in Section 3.3.

     3.3 Termination of Directorship

     If a Termination of Directorship occurs to an Outside Director, then in lieu of the
annual Common Stock Award under Section 3.2, as of the next following annual Award
Date such Outside Director shall be entitled to receive a number of Shares equal to the
nearest whole number of Shares obtained by multiplying the number of Shares having a Fair
Market Value approximately equal to a dollar amount set by the Board from time to time
pursuant to Section 3.2 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days
from the last previous annual Award Date up to and including the date of his Termination of
Directorship, and the denominator of which is the number of days from the last previous
annual Award Date up to and including his next following regularly scheduled annual Award
Date. Such Shares shall be delivered to the Outside Director within thirty (30) days
following the date of his Termination of Directorship.

65

 

     3.4 Issuance of Common Stock

     Within thirty (30) days of the Award Date of a Common Stock Award pursuant to
Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3, the Company shall cause Shares of Common Stock to be
issued in the name of the Grantee.

     3.5 Deferral of Common Stock Award

     At the discretion of the Committee, a Grantee may elect in writing to defer the receipt
of a Common Stock Award; provided, however, that such election be made by the Grantee not
later than by the end of the calendar year that precedes the calendar year in which the
applicable 12-month performance period begins. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, at
the discretion of the Committee, a Grantee who is eligible to receive an initial award
pursuant to Section 3.1 may elect in writing to defer receipt of such initial award
within thirty (30) days after the Grantee first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan
or any other plan maintained by the Company that is an “account balance” plan within the
meaning of, and subject to, Code Section 409A.

     3.6 Subsequent Deferrals

     At the discretion of the Committee, a Grantee may elect in writing to defer the receipt
of a Common Stock Award which has previously been deferred pursuant to Section 3.5;
provided, however, that (i) such election will not take effect until at least twelve (12)
months after the date upon which the election is made by the Grantee, (ii) except in the
case of payment on account of the Grantee’s death or Disability, the payment with respect to
which such election is made must be deferred for a period of not less than five (5) years
from the date the payment would otherwise have been paid, and (iii) such election may not be
made less than twelve (12) months prior to the date the payment was otherwise scheduled to
be made. Any subsequent deferral election made by the Grantee pursuant to this
Section 3.5 must be consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

     8. Section 5.2(c) is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

     (c) Payment. When the restrictions in the Incentive Agreement have been
satisfied, subject to (i) withholding taxes under Section 9.3 with respect to
Employees and (ii) the terms of the Incentive Agreement, Restricted Stock Units shall be
paid in Shares within thirty (30) days after the later of (A) the Vesting Date (as defined
in Section 5.2(b)) or (B) the date that satisfaction of any Performance Criteria for
the Restricted Stock Units have been certified by the Committee but, in either event, not
later than 2-1/2 months following the last day of the calendar year containing the Vesting
Date.

     9. A new Section 9.18 is added to the Plan as follows:

     9.18 Section 409A Compliance

     To the extent that the Plan provides for the payment of amounts that constitute
“nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A, the Plan is intended to comply
with the provisions of Section 409A so as to prevent the inclusion of gross income of any
amounts deferred hereunder in a taxable year that is prior to the taxable year or years in
which such amounts would otherwise be actually distributed and made available to Grantees or
beneficiaries. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, at the discretion of the
Committee, the timing of the payment of any Incentive Award that was issued to the Grantee
prior to December 31, 2007 may, at the election of the Grantee, be charged to an earlier or
later date in accordance with IRS Notice 2006-79, provided that such election is made not
later than by December 31, 2007.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Second Amendment to the Plan is hereby executed on this 23rd day of
October, 2007, to be effective as of January 1, 2008.
