DRESSER-RAND GROUP INC.

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR

RESTRICTED STOCK

These Standard Terms and Conditions apply to any Award of restricted Common Shares (the “Restricted
Shares”) granted to an employee of the Company under the Dresser-Rand Group Inc. 2008 Stock
Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), on or after January 1, 2010, which are evidenced by a
Grant Notice or an action of the Committee that specifically refers to these Standard Terms and
Conditions.

	1.	 	TERMS OF RESTRICTED SHARES

Dresser-Rand Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) has granted to the Grantee
named in the Grant Notice provided to said Grantee herewith (the “Grant Notice”) an award
of a number of Restricted Shares (the “Award”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par
value per share specified in the Grant Notice. The Award is the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, these Standard Terms and Conditions, and the
Plan, each as amended from time to time. For purposes of these Standard Terms and
Conditions and the Grant Notice, any reference to the Company shall, unless the context
requires otherwise, include a reference to any Affiliate, as such term is defined in the
Plan. Capitalized terms not defined in this document have the meaning given to them in Plan
or Grant Notice.

	2.	 	VESTING OF RESTRICTED STOCK

The Restricted Shares are subject to forfeiture and may not be sold, assigned, transferred,
pledged or otherwise directly or indirectly encumbered or disposed of (collectively,
“Transferred”) until the expiration of a “Period of Restriction” specified in the Grant
Notice. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Period of Restriction shall expire on each
of the dates set forth in the Grant Notice as long as the Grantee remains an employee of
the Company or other service provider to the Company on the applicable vesting date.

Notwithstanding anything contained in these Standard Terms and Conditions to the contrary:

	 	A.	 	If the Grantee’s employment terminates by reason of death or Disability
during the Period of Restriction, a pro rata portion of the Restricted Shares subject
to the next vesting date shall become nonforfeitable, and unless otherwise determined
by the Committee, the remaining Restricted Shares shall be forfeited as of the date of
such termination. For this purpose, “pro-rata portion” means a percentage, where the
numerator is the number of days between (a) the later of the grant date or last
vesting date and (b) the Grantee’s termination, and the denominator is the number of
days between (y) the later of the grant date or the last vesting date and (z) the
final vesting date.

 

 

 

	 	B.	 	Subject to Section 8, if the Grantee’s employment terminates due to the
Grantee’s Retirement (as defined in Section 16.F below), the Restricted Shares shall
continue to vest and become nonforfeitable under the schedule described in the Grant
Notice; provided, however, that if the Grantee’s Retirement is less than twelve (12)
months after the Grant Date, only the following portion of the Restricted Shares shall
continue to vest under the schedule described in the Grant Notice: (x) the number of
Restricted Shares granted hereunder, (y) multiplied by a fraction, (I) the numerator
of which is the number of full days from the Grant Date through the date of
Retirement, and (II) the denominator of which is 365. The remaining Restricted Shares
shall be forfeited as of the date of such Retirement.

	 	C.	 	If the Grantee’s employment terminates for any reason other than death,
Disability or Retirement, any Restricted Shares held by the Grantee for which the
Period of Restriction has not then expired shall be forfeited as of the date of such
termination.

	3.	 	RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER/LEGEND

The Grantee shall have the right to vote the Restricted Shares, but shall otherwise enjoy
none of the rights of a stockholder (including the right to receive dividends or equivalent
payments) during the Period of Restriction.

The Restricted Shares shall be registered in the Grantee’s name on the Grant Date through a
book entry credit in the records of the Company’s transfer agent, but shall be recorded as
restricted non-dividend paying shares of Common Shares until the expiration of the Period
of Restriction. Upon the expiration of the Period of Restriction with respect to any
Restricted Shares, the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to record such shares as
unrestricted. In the event any stock certificates are issued in respect of the Restricted
Shares during the Period of Restriction, such certificates shall bear a restrictive legend
determined by the Committee until the expiration of the Period of Restriction with respect
to such shares.

	4.	 	CHANGE IN CONTROL

Unless otherwise provided in an employment, severance or other agreement between the
Company and the Grantee, the Committee shall determine the effect of a Change in Control on
the Restricted Shares. Without limitation, the Committee may provide for the acceleration
of vesting of, or the lapse of transfer or other similar restrictions on, any unvested
Restricted Shares or for the assumption or substitution of Restricted Shares by the
Grantee’s employer (or the parent or an Affiliate of such employer) or other service
recipient that engages the Grantee immediately following the Change in Control.

	5.	 	RESTRICTIONS ON RESALES OF SHARES

The Company may impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines
appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by the Grantee or other subsequent
transfers by the Grantee of any Restricted Shares, including without limitation (a)
restrictions under an insider trading policy, (b) restrictions designed to delay and/or
coordinate the timing and manner of sales by the Grantee and other holders and (c)
restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other
transfers.

	6.	 	INCOME TAXES

The Company shall not instruct the transfer agent to remove the restrictions applicable to
any Restricted Shares at the expiration of the Period of Restriction unless and until the
Grantee has made arrangements satisfactory to the Committee to satisfy applicable
withholding tax obligations. Unless otherwise permitted by the Committee, withholding
shall be effected by withholding Common Shares that vest on the applicable vesting date.
The Grantee acknowledges that the Company shall have the right to deduct any taxes required
to be withheld by law in connection with the vesting of the Restricted Shares from any
amounts payable by it to the Grantee (including, without limitation, future cash wages).

	7.	 	NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARD

The Grantee represents and warrants that the Restricted Shares are being acquired by the
Grantee solely for the Grantee’s own account for investment and not with a view to or for
sale in connection with any distribution thereof. The Grantee further understands,
acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, prior to their
vesting, the Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise
directly or indirectly encumbered or disposed of except to the extent expressly permitted
hereby and at all times in compliance with the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission thereunder, and in
compliance with applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and non-U.S. securities
laws. Unless permitted by the Committee, prior to their vesting, the Restricted Shares may
not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated by the
Grantee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

	8.	 	RESTRICTED ACTIVITIES

	 	A.	 	By accepting the Restricted Shares, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that
(i) the Company is engaged in a highly competitive business; (ii) the Company has
expended considerable time and resources to develop goodwill with its customers,
vendors, and others, and to create, protect, and exploit its Confidential Information
(as defined in Section 16.B below); (iii) the Company must continue to prevent the
dilution of its goodwill and unauthorized use or disclosure of its Confidential
Information to avoid irreparable harm to its legitimate business interests; (iv)
the Grantee’s participation in or direction of the Company’s day-to-day operations
and strategic planning are an integral part of the Company’s continued success and
goodwill; (v) in the period between the Grantee’s notice to the Committee of the
Grantee’s Retirement and the date of the Grantee’s Retirement (the “Transition
Period”), the Grantee will participate in identifying a successor, transitioning
his or her responsibilities to and training a successor, and engaging in other
transition activities (the “Transition Process”); (vi) given the Grantee’s position
and responsibilities, including during the Transition Period, he or she necessarily
will be relying on and/or creating Confidential Information that belongs to the
Company and enhances the Company’s goodwill; during the Transition Process will be
transmitting Confidential Information to his or her successor; and in carrying out
his or her responsibilities, including during the Transition Process, the Grantee
in turn will be relying on the Company’s goodwill and the disclosure by the Company
to him or her of Confidential Information; (vii) the Grantee will have access to
Confidential Information, including concerning the Transition Process, that could
be used by any competitor of the Company in a manner that would irreparably harm
the Company’s competitive position in the marketplace and dilute its goodwill;
(viii) the Grantee’s engaging in any of the Restricted Activities during the
Restriction Period would result in the inevitable disclosure or use of Confidential
Information for the Competitor’s benefit or to the detriment of the Company; (ix)
the Grantee will return to the Company upon Retirement all the Confidential
Information, in whatever form or media and all copies thereof, in his or her
possession, custody, or control; (x) by giving advance notice of his or her
Retirement, the Grantee represents that he or she will not engage in the Restricted
Activities; (xi) the Company is relying on such representation in providing the
Grantee continuing access to Confidential Information and authorizing him or her to
engage in the Transition Process and other activities that will create new and
additional Confidential Information during the Transition Period; and (xi) absent
the Grantee’s agreement to this Section 8, the Company would not authorize the
Grantee to participate in the Transition Process and engage in other activities
that provide access to or create new and additional Confidential Information in an
unfettered fashion; and would not provide for the continued vesting of the
Restricted Shares upon Retirement as provided for in Section 2.

	 	B.	 	The Company, by granting the Restricted Shares, and the Grantee, by accepting
the Restricted Shares, thus acknowledge and agree that during the remaining term of
the Grantee’s employment with the Company, including the Transition Period, the
Grantee (i) will receive Confidential Information that is unique, proprietary, and
valuable to the Company; (ii) will rely on and/or create Confidential Information that
is unique, proprietary, and valuable to the Company; and (iii) will benefit, including
without limitation by way of increased earnings and earning capacity,
from the goodwill the Company has generated and from the Confidential Information.

	 	C.	 	Accordingly, in consideration of the promises of the Company set out in
Section 8.B, the Restricted Shares, and the extended vesting of the Restricted Shares
upon Retirement as provided for in Section 2, the Grantee agrees that:

	 	1.	 	He or she will not engage in any of the Restricted Activities
(as defined in Section 16.D below) during the Restriction Period (as defined
in Section 16.E below);

	 	2.	 	If he or she engages in, or threatens to engage in, any of
the Restricted Activities during the Restriction Period or otherwise violates
his or her obligations under this Section 8, then (x) the Restricted Shares
held by the Grantee shall immediately be forfeited and canceled (regardless of
whether then vested or unvested) and (y) with respect to any Restricted Shares
that have been Transferred, the Grantee shall, at the Company’s option,
immediately pay to the Company the fair market value of the Restricted Shares
at the time of vesting;

	 	3.	 	If he or she engages in, or threatens to engage in, any of
the Restricted Activities during the Restriction Period or otherwise violates
his or her obligations under this Section 8, the Company would not have an
adequate remedy at law and would be irreparably harmed and, accordingly, that
the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief, including preliminary and
permanent injunctions and specific performance, in the event the Grantee
engages or threatens to engage in any of the Restricted Activities during the
Restriction Period or otherwise violates his or her obligations under this
Section 8, without the necessity of posting any bond or proving special
damages or irreparable injury; and

	 	4.	 	Neither Section 8.C.2 nor Section 8.C.3 constitute the
Company’s exclusive remedy for a breach or threatened breach of the Grantee’s
obligations under this Section 8, but shall be in addition to all other
remedies available to the Company at law or equity.

 

5

 

	 	D.	 	By accepting the Restricted Shares, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that
(i) the restrictions contained in this Section 8 are ancillary to an otherwise
enforceable agreement, including without limitation the mutual promises and
undertakings set out in Section 8.A and B, the Restricted Shares, and the continued
vesting of all or a portion of the Restricted Shares upon Retirement as provided for
in Section 2; (ii) the Company’s promises and undertakings set out in these Standard
Terms and Conditions, and in particular Section 8.B, the Grant Notice, and the Plan,
and the Grantee’s position and responsibilities with the Company and his or her
promises and undertakings set out in Section 8.A, give rise to the Company’s
interest in restricting the Grantee’s post-Retirement activities; (iii) such
restrictions are designed to enforce the Grantee’s promises and undertakings set
out in Section 8.A and his or her common-law obligations and duties owed to the
Company; (iv) the restrictions are reasonable and necessary, are valid and
enforceable, and do not impose a greater restraint than necessary to protect the
Company’s goodwill, Confidential Information, and other legitimate business
interests; (v) he or she will immediately notify the Company in writing should he
or she believe or be advised that the provisions of this Section 8 are not, or
likely are not, valid and enforceable; (vi) he or she will not challenge the
enforceability of this Section 8; (vii) absent the Grantee’s agreement to this
Section 8, the Company would not authorize the Grantee to participate in the
Transition Process and engage in other activities that provide access to or create
new and additional Confidential Information in an unfettered fashion; and would not
provide for the continued vesting of all or a portion of the Restricted Shares upon
Retirement as provided for in Section 2.

	 	E.	 	The provisions of Section 2 providing for the continued vesting of all or a
portion of the Restricted Shares upon Retirement and this Section 8 are mutually
dependent and not severable, and the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company
would not provide for the continued vesting of all or a portion of the Restricted
Shares upon Retirement as provided for in Section 2 but for the Grantee’s promises set
out in and the enforceability of this Section 8. Accordingly, if Section 8 or any
part of it is ever declared to be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable in any
respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the Grantee agrees that (x) the
Restricted Shares held by the Grantee shall immediately be forfeited and canceled
(regardless of whether then vested or unvested) and (y) with respect to any Restricted
Shares that have been Transferred, the Grantee shall, at the Company’s option,
immediately pay to the Company the fair market value of the Restricted Shares at the
time of vesting; provided that if the scope of the restrictions in this Section 8 as
to time, geography, or scope of activities are deemed by court of competent
jurisdiction to exceed the limitations permitted by applicable law, the Grantee and
the Company agree that the restrictions so deemed shall be, and are, automatically
reformed to the maximum limitation permitted by such law.

remainder of these Standard Terms and Conditions shall not be affected except to the extent
necessary to reform or delete such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision.

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

These Standard Terms and Conditions apply to any Award of restricted stock units granted to an
employee or a nonemployee director of the Company under the Dresser-Rand Group Inc. 2008 Stock
Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), on or after January 1, 2011, which are evidenced by a
Grant Notice or an action of the Committee that specifically refers to these Standard Terms and
Conditions.

	1.	 	TERMS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

Dresser-Rand Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) has granted to the Grantee
named in the Grant Notice provided to said Grantee herewith (the “Grant Notice”) an award of
a number of restricted stock units (the “Award”) specified in the Grant Notice. Each
restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s Common
Shares, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Shares”), upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, these Standard Terms and Conditions, and the Plan,
each as amended from time to time. For purposes of these Standard Terms and Conditions and
the Grant Notice, any reference to the Company shall, unless the context requires otherwise,
include a reference to any Affiliate, as such term is defined in the Plan. Capitalized terms
not defined in this document have the meaning given to them in Plan or Grant Notice.

	2.	 	VESTING OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

The Award shall not be vested as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice and shall
be forfeitable unless and until otherwise vested pursuant to the terms of the Grant Notice
and these Standard Terms and Conditions. After the Grant Date, subject to termination or
acceleration as provided in these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Plan, the Award
shall become vested as described in the Grant Notice with respect to that number of
restricted stock units as set forth in the Grant Notice. Notwithstanding anything contained
in these Standard Terms and Conditions to the contrary:

	 	A.	 	If the Grantee’s employment or other service terminates by reason of death or
Disability before all of the restricted stock units have vested, a pro rata portion of
the Restricted Stock Units subject to the next vesting date shall become vested, and,
unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the remaining Restricted Stock Units
shall be forfeited and canceled as of the date of such termination. For purposes of
this Section 2.A., “pro-rata portion” means a percentage, where the numerator is number
of days between (a) the later of the grant date or last vesting date and (b) the
Grantee’s termination, and the denominator is the number of days between (y) the later
of the grant date or the last vesting date and (z) the final vesting date.

 

 

 

	 	B.	 	Subject to Section 9, if the Grantee’s employment or other service terminates
due to the Grantee’s Retirement (as defined in Section 17.F below), the Restricted
Stock Units shall continue to vest under the schedule described in the Grant Notice;
provided, however, that if the Grantee’s Retirement is less than twelve (12) months
after the Grant Date, only the following portion of the Award shall continue to vest
under the schedule described in the Grant Notice: (x) the number of restricted stock
units granted hereunder, (y) multiplied by a fraction, (I) the numerator of which is
the number of full days from the Grant Date through the date of Retirement, and (II)
the denominator of which is 365. The remaining Restricted Stock Units shall be
forfeited and canceled as of the date of such Retirement.

	 	C.	 	If the Grantee’s employment or other service terminates for any reason other
than death, Disability or Retirement, any then unvested Restricted Stock Units held by
the Grantee shall be forfeited and canceled as of the date of such termination.

	3.	 	SETTLEMENT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

Vested Restricted Stock Units shall be settled by the delivery to the Grantee or a
designated brokerage firm of one Share per vested Restricted Stock Unit as soon as
reasonably practicable following the vesting of such Restricted Stock Units, and in all
events no later than March 15 of the year following the year of vesting (unless earlier
delivery is required by Section 409A of the Code or delivery is deferred pursuant to a
nonqualified deferred compensation plan in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A
of the Code). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent required to comply with Section
409A of the Code, if the Grantee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section
409A of the Code, the delivery of Shares shall be delayed until the six-month anniversary of
the Grantee’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A).

	4.	 	RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER

The Grantee shall have no voting rights or the right to receive any dividends with respect
to Common Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units unless and until such Common Shares are
reflected as issued and outstanding shares on the Company’s stock ledger.

	5.	 	CHANGE IN CONTROL

Unless otherwise provided in an employment, severance or other agreement between the Company
and the Grantee, the Committee shall determine the effect of a Change in Control on the
Restricted Stock Units. Without limitation, the Committee may provide for the acceleration
of vesting of, or the lapse of transfer or other similar restrictions on, any unvested
Restricted Stock Units, for a cash payment based on the Change in Control Price in
settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, or for the assumption or substitution of
Restricted Stock Units by the Grantee’s employer (or the parent or an Affiliate of such
employer) or other service recipient that engages the Grantee immediately following the
Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Section 409A of the
Code applies to the Restricted Stock Units, any such action shall be consistent with the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

	6.	 	RESTRICTIONS ON RESALES OF SHARES

The Company may impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines
appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by the Grantee or other subsequent
transfers by the Grantee of any Common Shares issued in respect of vested Restricted Stock
Units, including without limitation (a) restrictions under an insider trading policy, (b)
restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by the
Grantee and other holders and (c) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm
for such resales or other transfers.

	7.	 	INCOME TAXES

The Company shall not deliver shares in respect of any Restricted Stock Units unless and
until the Grantee has made arrangements satisfactory to the Committee to satisfy applicable
withholding tax obligations. Unless otherwise permitted by the Committee, withholding shall
be effected by withholding Common Shares issuable in connection with the delivery of the
Restricted Stock Units. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company shall have the right to
deduct any taxes required to be withheld by law in connection wit the delivery of the
Restricted Stock Units from any amounts payable by it to the Grantee (including, without
limitation, future cash wages).

	8.	 	NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARD

The Grantee represents and warrants that the Restricted Stock Units are being acquired by
the Grantee solely for the Grantee’s own account for investment and not with a view to or
for sale in connection with any distribution thereof. The Grantee further understands,
acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Restricted Stock
Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise directly or indirectly
encumbered or disposed of except to the extent expressly permitted hereby and at all times
in compliance with the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and
regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission thereunder, and in compliance with
applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and non-U.S. securities laws. Unless

	9.	 	RESTRICTED ACTIVITIES

	 	A.	 	By accepting the Restricted Stock Unit, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees
that (i) the Company is engaged in a highly competitive business; (ii) the Company has
expended considerable time and resources to develop goodwill with its customers,
vendors, and others, and to create, protect, and exploit its Confidential Information
(as defined in Section 17.B below); (iii) the Company must continue to prevent the
dilution of its goodwill and unauthorized use or disclosure of its Confidential
Information to avoid irreparable harm to its legitimate business interests; (iv) the
Grantee’s participation in or direction of the Company’s day-to-day operations and
strategic planning are an integral part of the Company’s
continued success and goodwill; (v) in the period between the Grantee’s notice to
the Committee of the Grantee’s Retirement and the date of the Grantee’s Retirement
(the “Transition Period”), the Grantee will participate in identifying a successor,
transitioning his or her responsibilities to and training a successor, and engaging
in other transition activities (the “Transition Process”); (vi) given the Grantee’s
position and responsibilities, including during the Transition Period, he or she
necessarily will be relying on and/or creating Confidential Information that belongs
to the Company and enhances the Company’s goodwill; during the Transition Process
will be transmitting Confidential Information to his or her successor; and in
carrying out his or her responsibilities, including during the Transition Process,
the Grantee in turn will be relying on the Company’s goodwill and the disclosure by
the Company to him or her of Confidential Information; (vii) the Grantee will have
access to Confidential Information, including concerning the Transition Process,
that could be used by any competitor of the Company in a manner that would
irreparably harm the Company’s competitive position in the marketplace and dilute
its goodwill; (viii) the Grantee’s engaging in any of the Restricted Activities
during the Restriction Period would result in the inevitable disclosure or use of
Confidential Information for the Competitor’s benefit or to the detriment of the
Company; (ix) the Grantee will return to the Company upon Retirement all the
Confidential Information, in whatever form or media and all copies thereof, in his
or her possession, custody, or control; (x) by giving advance notice of his or her
Retirement, the Grantee represents that he or she will not engage in the Restricted
Activities; (xi) the Company is relying on such representation in providing the
Grantee continuing access to Confidential Information and authorizing him or her to
engage in the Transition Process and other activities that will create new and
additional Confidential Information during the Transition Period; and (xi) absent
the Grantee’s agreement to this Section 9, the Company would not authorize the
Grantee to participate in the Transition Process and engage in other activities that
provide access to or create new and additional Confidential Information in an
unfettered fashion; and would not provide for the continued vesting of the
Restricted Stock Unit upon Retirement as provided for in Section 2.

	 	B.	 	The Company, by granting the Restricted Stock Unit, and the Grantee, by
accepting the Restricted Stock Unit, thus acknowledge and agree that during the
remaining term of the Grantee’s employment with the Company, including the Transition
Period, the Grantee (i) will receive Confidential Information that is unique,
proprietary, and valuable to the Company; (ii) will rely on and/or create Confidential
Information that is unique, proprietary, and valuable to the Company; and (iii) will
benefit, including without limitation by way of increased earnings and earning
capacity, from the goodwill the Company has generated and from the Confidential
Information.

	 	C.	 	Accordingly, in consideration of the promises of the Company set out in Section
9.B, the Restricted Stock Unit, and the continued vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit
upon Retirement as provided for in Section 2, the Grantee agrees that:

	 	1.	 	He or she will not engage in any of the Restricted Activities
(as defined in Section 17.D below) during the Restriction Period (as defined in
Section 17.E below);

	 	2.	 	If he or she engages in, or threatens to engage in, any of the
Restricted Activities during the Restriction Period or otherwise violates his
or her obligations under this Section 9, then (x) the Restricted Stock Units
held by the Grantee that have not been settled shall immediately be forfeited
and canceled (regardless of whether then vested or unvested) and (y) with
respect to any Restricted Stock Units that have been settled, the Grantee shall
immediately pay to the Company the fair market value of the Shares associated
with the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units at the time of vesting;

	 	3.	 	If he or she engages in, or threatens to engage in, any of the
Restricted Activities during the Restriction Period or otherwise violates his
or her obligations under this Section 9, the Company would not have an adequate
remedy at law and would be irreparably harmed and, accordingly, that the
Company shall be entitled to equitable relief, including preliminary and
permanent injunctions and specific performance, in the event the Grantee
engages or threatens to engage in any of the Restricted Activities during the
Restriction Period or otherwise violates his or her obligations under this
Section 9, without the necessity of posting any bond or proving special damages
or irreparable injury; and

	 	4.	 	Neither Section 9.C.2 nor Section 9.C.3 constitute the
Company’s exclusive remedy for a breach or threatened breach of the Grantee’s
obligations under this Section 9, but shall be in addition to all other
remedies available to the Company at law or equity.

	 	D.	 	By accepting the Restricted Stock Unit, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees
that (i) the restrictions contained in this Section 9 are ancillary to an otherwise
enforceable agreement, including without limitation the mutual promises and
undertakings set out in Section 9.A and B, the Restricted Stock Unit, and the continued
vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit upon Retirement as provided for in Section 2; (ii)
the Company’s promises and undertakings set out in these Standard Terms and Conditions,
and in particular Section 9.B, the Grant Notice, and the Plan, and the Grantee’s
position and responsibilities with the Company and his or her promises and undertakings
set out in Section 9.A, give rise to the Company’s interest in restricting the
Grantee’s post-Retirement activities; (iii) such restrictions are designed to enforce
the Grantee’s promises and undertakings set out in Section 9.A and his or her
common-law obligations and duties owed to the Company; (iv) the restrictions are
reasonable and necessary, are valid and enforceable, and do not impose a greater
restraint than necessary to protect the Company’s goodwill, Confidential Information,
and other legitimate business interests; (v) he or she will immediately notify the
Company in writing should he or she believe or be advised that the provisions of this
Section 9 are not, or likely
are not, valid and enforceable; (vi) he or she will not challenge the enforceability
of this Section 9; (vii) absent the Grantee’s agreement to this Section 9, the
Company would not authorize the Grantee to participate in the Transition Process and
engage in other activities that provide access to or create new and additional
Confidential Information in an unfettered fashion and would not provide for the
continued vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit upon Retirement as provided for in
Section 2.

 

5

 

	 	E.	 	The provisions of Section 2 providing for the continued vesting of the
Restricted Stock Unit upon Retirement and this Section 9 are mutually dependent and not
severable, and the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company would not provide
for the continued vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit upon Retirement as provided for
in Section 2 but for the Grantee’s promises set out in and the enforceability of this
Section 9. Accordingly, if Section 9 or any part of it is ever declared to be illegal,
invalid, or otherwise unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent
jurisdiction, then the Grantee agrees that (x) the Restricted Stock Units held by the
Grantee that have not been settled shall immediately be forfeited and canceled
(regardless of whether then vested or unvested) and (y) with respect to any Restricted
Stock Units that have been settled, the Grantee shall immediately pay to the Company
the fair market value of the Shares associated with the settlement of the Restricted
Stock Units at the time of vesting; provided that if the scope of the restrictions in
this Section 9 as to time, geography, or scope of activities are deemed by court of
competent jurisdiction to exceed the limitations permitted by applicable law, the
Grantee and the Company agree that the restrictions so deemed shall be, and are,
automatically reformed to the maximum limitation permitted by such law.
