                              BJ SERVICES COMPANY
                     SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

                                   ARTICLE I

                                    PURPOSE

     1.1  PURPOSE OF PLAN.  The purpose of the BJ Services Company Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan (the "Plan") is to advance the interests of BJ
Services Company (the "Company"), its subsidiaries and affiliates (hereinafter
sometimes collectively or individually referred to as the "Employer") and its
owners by attracting and retaining in its employ highly qualified individuals
for the successful conduct of its business.  The Employer hopes to accomplish
these objectives by helping to provide for the retirement of its key employees
selected to participate in the Plan.

     1.2  ERISA STATUS.  The Plan is intended to qualify for certain exemptions
under Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), provided for plans that are unfunded and maintained primarily for the
purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or
highly compensated employees.

                                   ARTICLE II

                          DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION

     2.1  DEFINITIONS.  Where the following words and phrases appear in the
Plan, they shall have the respective meanings set forth below, unless their
context clearly indicates to the contrary.

(1)  ACTUARIAL EQUIVALENT.  The lump sum amount that is equal in value to a
     Participant's Pension determined pursuant to Article IV, based on an
     interest rate equal to the average Applicable Interest Rate for the longer
     of (a) the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending upon the month
     preceding the Applicable Date or (b) the five-year period ending on the
     month preceding the Applicable Date (or some other prevailing interest rate
     selected by the Committee) and on mortality rate assumptions determined by
     using the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table (or some other prevailing
     mortality table selected by the Committee).

(2)  APPLICABLE DATE.  The earlier of (a) the date the Participant ceases to
     participate in the Plan, (b) the date the Participant dies, (c) the date
     the Participant becomes disabled, (d) the date of the Participant's
     Termination or (e) in the event the Committee, in its sole discretion,
     determines to pay benefits under the Plan in a lump sum following a Change
     of Control, the date of such Change of Control.

(3)  APPLICABLE INTEREST RATE.  The annual rate of interest on 30-year Treasury
     securities for any month as published by the Federal Reserve Board.

                                       1

(4)  BASE CONTRIBUTION BENEFIT.  The annual benefit derived by accumulating the
     Employer Base Contributions (as such term is defined in the Thrift Plan)
     that would have been made on behalf of a Participant under the Thrift Plan
     (or any predecessor thereto sponsored or maintained by the Employer or any
     predecessor or affiliate thereof) without regard to the limitations imposed
     by the Code at an interest rate for each calendar year equal to the average
     Applicable Interest Rate for the twelve months preceding such calendar year
     (or some other prevailing interest rate selected by the Committee),
     compounded annually to the Applicable Date.  A Participant's Base
     Contribution Benefit shall be adjusted in the event that the Participant's
     Employer Base Contributions under the Thrift Plan are reduced as a result
     of the limitations imposed by the Code and there is no corresponding
     contribution under the SRP Plan.

(5)  BENEFICIARY. The person designated by each Participant, on a form provided
     by the Employer for this purpose, to receive the Participant's distribution
     under Article V in the event of the Participant's death prior to receiving
     complete payment of his Account. In order to be effective under this Plan,
     any form designating a Beneficiary must be delivered to the Committee
     before the Participant's death. In the absence of such an effective
     designation of a Beneficiary, "Beneficiary" means the Participant's spouse,
     or if there is no spouse on the date of the Participant's death, the
     Participant's executor or administrator or heirs at law if there is no
     administration of the Participant's estate.

(6)  BOARD.  The Board of Directors of the Company.

(7)  CHANGE OF CONTROL.  A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred
     upon, and shall mean (a) the acquisition by any individual, entity or group

     "Person") of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
     promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 25% or more of either (i) the then
     outstanding shares of Common Stock, $.10 par value per share, of the
     Company (the "Outstanding Company Common Stock") or (ii) the combined
     voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company
     entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the "Outstanding
     Company Voting Securities"); provided, however, that the following
     acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (A) any acquisition
     directly from the Company (excluding an acquisition by virtue of the
     exercise of a conversion privilege), (B) any acquisition by the Company,
     (C) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan(s) (or related trust(s))
     sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the
     Company, or (D) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a
     reorganization, merger or consolidation, if, immediately following such
     reorganization, merger or consolidation, the conditions described in clause
     (i), (ii) and (iii) of clause (c) of this Section are satisfied; (b) the
     approval by the Company's stockholders of the sale or disposition of all or
     substantially all of the Company's assets or the dissolution or liquidation
     of the Company; or (c) the approval by the stockholders of the Company of a
     reorganization, merger or consolidation, in each case, unless immediately
     following such reorganization, merger or consolidation (i) more than 60%

     corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation and
     the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such
     corporation

     reorganization, merger or consolidation. The "Incumbent Board" shall mean
     individuals who, as of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board,
     constitute the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a
     director subsequent to such date whose election, or nomination for election
     by the Company's stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a
     majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be
     considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board,
     but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial
     assumption of office occurs as a result of either (1) an actual or
     threatened election contest (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of
     Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act), or an actual or

     4.2  NORMAL RETIREMENT BENEFIT.  The benefit in the event of Normal
Retirement shall be equal to the Actuarial Equivalent of the Pension, which
shall be derived from the following formula: Highest Average Compensation times
the lesser of: i) two percent times Years of Service, or ii) sixty percent, the
product of which is multiplied by the Participant's Vested Percentage, the
product of which is then offset in all years by the sum of: i) the Base
Contribution Benefit, ii) the Prior Pension Benefit, and iii) the Social
Security Benefit.  Payment of the Normal Retirement benefit shall begin as of
the Participant's Termination.

     4.3  EARLY RETIREMENT BENEFIT.  The benefit in the event of Early
Retirement shall be equal to the Actuarial Equivalent of the Pension, which
shall be derived from the following formula: Highest Average Compensation times
the lesser of: i) two percent times Years of Service, or ii) sixty percent, the
product of which is multiplied by the Participant's Vested Percentage, reduced
by five percent times the number of years that the Participant's Early
Retirement precedes his eligibility for Normal Retirement, and then offset in
all years by the sum of: i) the Base Contribution Benefit, ii) the Prior Pension
Benefit, and iii) the Social Security Benefit.  Payment of the Early Retirement
benefit shall begin as of the Participant's Termination.

     4.4  PRE-TERMINATION CESSATION OF PARTICIPATION BENEFIT.  The benefit in
the event a Participant ceases to participate in the Plan prior to his
Termination shall be equal to the Actuarial Equivalent of the Pension,
calculated as of the date of such cessation using the Participant's age as of
such date, which shall be derived from the following formula: Highest Average
Compensation times the lesser of: i) two percent times Years of Service, or ii)
sixty percent, the product of which is multiplied by the Participant's Vested
Percentage, reduced by five percent times the number of years that the cessation
of participation precedes his eligibility for Normal Retirement, but no more
than twenty-five percent, and then offset in all years by the sum of: i) the
Base Contribution Benefit, ii) the Prior Pension Benefit, and iii) the Social
Security Benefit. The cessation benefit shall be accumulated at an interest rate
for each calendar year equal to the average Applicable Interest Rate for the
twelve months preceding such calendar year (or some other prevailing interest
rate selected by the Committee) until payment of such benefit begins.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no cessation benefit shall be paid pursuant to
this Section 4.4 unless the Participant's Termination occurs on or after his
eligibility for Early Retirement. Payment of the cessation benefit shall begin
as of the Participant's Termination.

     4.5  PRE-TERMINATION DEATH BENEFIT.  In the event the Participant dies
prior to his Termination but after eligibility for Early Retirement or Normal
Retirement, the benefit payable to his Beneficiary shall be calculated as if the
Participant's Termination was an Early Retirement or Normal Retirement that
occurred on the date of his death.  In the event the Participant dies prior to
his Termination and prior to eligibility for Early Retirement, the benefit
payable to his Beneficiary shall be equal to the Actuarial Equivalent of the
Pension, calculated as of the date the Participant would have become eligible
for Early Retirement, which shall be derived from the following formula: Highest
Average Compensation times the lesser of: i) two percent times Years of Service,
or ii) sixty percent, the product of which is multiplied by the Participant's
Vested Percentage (which shall be 100%), reduced by five percent times the
number of years that the Participant's death precedes his eligibility for Normal
Retirement, but no more than twenty-five percent, and then offset in all years
by the sum of: i) the Base Contribution Benefit, ii) the Prior Pension Benefit,
and iii) the Social Security Benefit, and which shall be discounted at an

                                       6
<PAGE>

interest rate equal to the average Applicable Interest Rate for the longer of
(a) the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending upon the month
preceding the Applicable Date or (b) the five-year period ending on the month
preceding the Applicable Date (or some other prevailing interest rate selected
by the Committee) for the number of years that such Participant's death precedes
the date he would have become eligible for Early Retirement.  Such death benefit
shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as administratively feasible following the
date of the Participant's death

     4.6  POST-TERMINATION DEATH BENEFIT.  In the event the Participant dies
after his Termination but prior to receiving all benefit distributions to which
he was entitled, the remaining benefit distributions shall be paid to his
Beneficiary.

     4.7  DISABILITY BENEFIT.  In the event the Participant becomes disabled as
defined under the terms of the long term disability program provided under the
BJ Services Company, U.S.A. Welfare Benefits Program prior to eligibility for
Normal Retirement, the benefit payable to the Participant shall be equal to the
Actuarial Equivalent of the Pension, calculated as of the date the Participant
would have become eligible for Normal Retirement using the Participant's age as
of such date, which shall be derived from the following formula: Highest Average
Compensation times the lesser of: i) two percent times Years of Service, or ii)
sixty percent, the product of which is multiplied by the Participant's Vested
Percentage (which shall be 100%), and then offset in all years by the sum of: i)
the Base Contribution Benefit, ii) the Prior Pension Benefit, and iii) the
Social Security Benefit.  Payment of such disability benefit shall begin as of
the date the Participant would have become eligible for Normal Retirement.  At
the request of the Participant, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may elect
to pay the disability benefit in a lump sum after the Participant becomes
disabled, but in such event, the benefit payable to the Participant shall be
equal to the Actuarial Equivalent of the Pension derived above (in this Section
4.7), discounted at an interest rate equal to the average Applicable Interest
Rate for the longer of (a) the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending
upon the month preceding the Applicable Date or (b) the five-year period ending
on the month preceding the Applicable Date (or some other prevailing interest
rate selected by the Committee) for the number of years that the date of payment
of the lump sum benefit precedes the date the participant would have become
eligible for Normal Retirement.

     4.8  CHANGE OF CONTROL BENEFIT.

     (a)  In the event of a Termination with respect to which a Participant who
has a Severance Agreement with the Company is eligible to receive benefits
pursuant to his Severance Agreement, a Participant shall receive a Change of
Control benefit that shall be equal to the benefit payable to the Participant
pursuant to Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 or this Section 4.8, as applicable,
determined as if the Participant had continued to work for the Company for three
(3) years following the date of his Termination, thereby resulting in an
additional three (3) Years of Service and an additional three (3) years of age.
If a Participant is not eligible for a benefit pursuant to Sections 4.2, 4.3 or
4.4, the Participant's Change of Control benefit shall be equal to the Actuarial
Equivalent of the Pension, calculated as of the date the Participant would have
become eligible for Early Retirement, which shall be derived from the following
formula: Highest Average Compensation times the lesser of: i) two percent times
Years of Service

                                       7
<PAGE>

(reflecting the three (3) year increase), or ii) sixty percent, the product of
which is multiplied by the Participant's Vested Percentage (which shall be
100%), reduced by five percent times the number of years that the Termination
(reflecting the three (3) year increase) precedes his eligibility for Normal
Retirement, but no more than twenty-five percent, and then offset in all years
by the sum of: i) the Base Contribution Benefit, ii) the Prior Pension Benefit,
and iii) the Social Security Benefit, and which shall be discounted at an
interest rate equal to the average Applicable Interest Rate for the longer of
(a) the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending upon the month
preceding the Applicable Date or (b) the five-year period ending on the month
preceding the Applicable Date (or some other prevailing interest rate selected
by the Committee) for the number of years that such Participant's Termination
(reflecting the three (3) year increase) precedes the date he would have become
eligible for Early Retirement. The Change of Control benefit shall be paid to
such Participant in a lump sum immediately following the date of the
Participant's Termination and, if necessary, shall be eligible for gross-up in
accordance with the provisions of Exhibit A hereto.

     (b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion,
may determine that it is in the best interest of all Participants to pay Change
of Control benefits to all Participants immediately following the Change of
Control.  In such event a Participant's Change of Control benefit shall be equal
to the benefit payable to the Participant pursuant to Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 or
this Section 4.8, as applicable, determined as if the Participant's Termination
had occurred three (3) years after the date of the Change of Control, thereby
resulting in an additional three (3) Years of Service and an additional three
(3) years of age.  Further, with respect to a Participant who has begun
receiving benefit distributions pursuant to the Plan, the benefit in the event
of a Change of Control shall be equal to the Actuarial Equivalent of the
remaining benefit payable to the Participant.  If the Committee decides to pay
Change of Control benefits to all Participants pursuant to this Section, such
Change of Control benefits shall be paid to the Participants in a lump sum
immediately following the date of the Change of Control.

     4.9   NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT; FORFEITURE OF BENEFITS. In consideration
for the acceptance of benefits under this Plan, the Participant agrees that he
or she will not engage in or work for a business that competes with the Company
or any of its subsidiaries, for a period which is the longer of (i) five (5)
years after the Participant's employment with the Company is terminated or (ii)
the period during which the Participant is receiving payments under the Plan.
This prohibition shall not apply if the Participant is eligible to receive
benefits under his Severance Agreement with respect to such Termination.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, a Participant's benefits
under the Plan shall be forfeited if the Participant terminates his employment
and during the period which is the longer of (i) five (5) years thereafter or
(ii) the period during which the Participant is receiving payments under the
Plan, the Participant engages in or is employed by a business that competes with
the Company or any of its subsidiaries; provided, however, that no such
forfeiture shall occur if, with respect to such Termination, the Participant is
eligible to receive benefits under his Severance Agreement.  It is a condition
to receipt of benefits under the Plan that the Participant execute the
acknowledgement of non-competition agreement attached to this Plan as Exhibit B.

                                    Vesting

     The Participant's Vested Percentage shall be zero percent prior to the
later of (i) his fifty-fifth birthday or (ii) the date he completes five full
Years of Service and one hundred percent on or after such date; provided,
however, that in the event of the Participant's death or disability (as defined

shall be one hundred percent.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                              Payment of Benefits

     6.1  PAYMENT OF BENEFITS.  Subject to rules established by the Committee,
the Participant may elect to receive the benefit to which he is entitled under
the Plan in equal annual installments for a period of from five (5) to thirty
(30) years. These installments shall be calculated by applying the average
Applicable Interest Rate for the longer of (a) the period beginning on the
Effective Date and ending upon the month preceding the Applicable Date or (b)
the five-year period ending on the month preceding the Applicable Date (or some
other prevailing interest rate selected by the Committee) to the Actuarial
Equivalent of the Participant's benefit as determined under the appropriate
section of Article IV herein so that the present value of the installments shall
be equal to such Actuarial Equivalent. If no effective election is made, then
payment of the benefit shall be made in ten (10) equal annual installments, or
in the sole discretion of the Committee, in a lump sum.

     6.2  BENEFIT DISTRIBUTION ELECTIONS.  Subject to rules established by the
Committee, a Participant may file a benefit distribution election directing how
his benefit shall be paid following his Termination. Such benefit distribution
election must be made on a form supplied by the Employer for that purpose. Such
benefit distribution election must be filed either: i) at the time of enrollment
in the Plan, or ii) at any subsequent time; provided, however, that such
subsequent election shall not be effective until the date that is twelve months
after the date such subsequent election is filed, except that no such limit
shall apply in the event of death. In the event the Participant files more than
one benefit distribution election, the last effective benefit distribution
election shall control. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Committee,
in its sole discretion, has the right to pay the benefit to the Participant in a
lump sum.

     6.3  REEMPLOYMENT OF PARTICIPANTS.  If a Participant who was to receive or
had begun to receive payment of his benefit under the Plan is reemployed by the
Employer on a full-time basis, the payment of his benefit shall be suspended
during the period of such reemployment. Upon termination of any Participant's
reemployment, the Participant's benefit shall be paid over the remainder of the
period elected by the Participant; provided however, that if the Participant was
selected to participate in the Plan pursuant to Article III during such period
of reemployment, such Participant's benefit shall be recomputed pursuant to the
applicable provisions of the Plan to include service completed during the
Participant's period of reemployment, but the amount thereof shall be reduced by
an amount which is the Actuarial

                                       9

Equivalent of the accumulated value of the benefit payments, if any, such
Participant received prior to his reemployment.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                                   Committee

          7.1      AUTHORITY.  The Committee shall have the authority, subject
to the provisions of the Plan, to establish, adopt and revise such rules and
regulations and to make all such determinations relating to the Plan as it may
deem necessary or appropriate for the administration of the Plan.  The Committee
may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in
this Plan or any agreement or document related to this Plan in the manner and to
the extent the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to carry this Plan into
effect.  The Committee's interpretation of the Plan, and all decisions and
determinations by the Committee with respect to the Plan, shall be final and
binding on all parties.

          7.2      DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY.  The Committee may delegate any of
its powers or responsibilities to one or more members of the Committee or any
other person or entity.

          7.3      PROCEDURES.  The Committee may establish procedures to
conduct its operations and to carry out its rights and duties under the Plan.

          7.4      COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES.  The members of the Committee
shall serve without compensation for their services, but all expenses of the
Committee and all other expense incurred in administering the Plan shall be paid
by the Company.

          7.5      INDEMNIFICATION.

          (a)  The Company shall indemnify the members of the Committee and/or
any of their delegates against the reasonable expenses, including attorneys'
fees, actually and appropriately incurred by them in connection with the defense
of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal thereto, to
which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or
failure to act under or in connection with the Plan (including any action or
failure to act constituting negligence) and against all amounts paid by them in
settlement thereof  and against all amounts paid by them in satisfaction of a
judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters
as to which it shall be adjudged in a suit of final adjudication that such
Committee member is liable for gross negligence, fraud, deliberate dishonesty or
willful misconduct in the performance of his duties.

          (b) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation)
shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be
sought pursuant to this Section 7.5, such person (the "Indemnified Party") shall
promptly notify the Company in writing.  No indemnification provided for in
Section 7.5(a) shall be available to any party who shall fail to give notice as
provided in this Section 7.5(b) if the Company was unaware of the proceeding to
which such notice would have related and was prejudiced by the failure to give
such notice, but the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Company
from any liability which it may have

                                       10
<PAGE>

to the Indemnified Party for contribution or otherwise than on account of the
provisions of Section 7.5(a). In case any such proceeding shall be brought
against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the Company of the
commencement thereof, the Company shall be entitled to participate therein and,
to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
satisfactory to such Indemnified Party and shall pay as incurred the fees and
disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such
proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel
at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall pay as
incurred the fees and expenses of the counsel retained by the Indemnified Party
in the event (i) the Company and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually
agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such
proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Company and the
Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It
is understood that the Company shall not, in connection with any proceeding or
related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees
and expenses or more than one separate firm for all such Indemnified Parties.
Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Company shall not
be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the
plaintiff, the Company agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and
against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                           Amendment and Termination

     The Company retains the power to amend the Plan or to terminate the Plan at
any time by action of the Board.  Further, the Committee, in its sole
discretion, may amend the Plan at any time  No such amendment or termination
shall adversely affect any Participant or Beneficiary with respect to his right
to receive a benefit in accordance with Article IV, determined as of the later
of the date that the Plan amendment or termination is adopted or the date such
Plan amendment or termination is effective, unless the affected Participant or
Beneficiary consents to such amendment or termination.  Finally, the Company
shall not enter into a transaction with another party that would constitute a
Change of Control without securing the agreement of the other party to assume
the Plan following the consummation of such transaction.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                 Miscellaneous

          9.1      PLAN DOES NOT AFFECT THE RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEE.  Nothing
contained in this Plan shall be deemed to give any Participant the right to be
retained in the employment of the Employer, to interfere with the rights of the
Employer to discharge any Participant at any time or to interfere with a
Participant's right to terminate his employment at any time.

          9.2      NONALIENATION AND NONASSIGNMENT.  Except for debts owed the
Employer by a Participant or Beneficiary, no amounts payable or to become
payable under the Plan to a Participant or Beneficiary shall be subject in any
manner to anticipation, alienation, sale,

                                       11
<PAGE>

transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, whether voluntary,
involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, and any attempt to so anticipate,
alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same by a
Participant or Beneficiary prior to distribution as herein provided shall be
null and void.

          9.3      TAX WITHHOLDING.  The Employer shall have the right to deduct
from any payments to a Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan any taxes
required by law to be withheld with respect to such payments.  In addition, the
Employer shall have the right to deduct from any Participant's base salary any
applicable employment taxes or other required withholdings with respect to a
Participant.

          9.4      SETOFFS.  As a condition to the receipt of any benefits
hereunder, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require a Participant or
Beneficiary to first execute a written authorization, in the form established by
the Committee, authorizing the Employer to offset from the benefits otherwise
due hereunder any and all amounts, debts or other obligations, of any kind or
nature, owed to the Employer by the Participant.  Where such written
authorization has been so executed by a Participant, benefits hereunder shall be
reduced accordingly.  The Committee shall have full discretion to determine the
application of such offset and the manner in which such offset will reduce
benefits under the Plan.

          9.5       NUMBER AND GENDER.  Wherever appropriate herein, words used
in the singular shall be considered to include the plural and words used in the
plural shall be considered to include the singular. The masculine gender, where
appearing in the Plan, shall be deemed to include the feminine gender.

          9.6       HEADINGS.  The headings of Articles and Sections herein are
included solely for convenience, and if there is any conflict between such
headings and the text of the Plan, the text shall control.

          9.7       APPLICABLE LAW.  Except to the extent preempted by federal
law, the terms and provisions of the Plan shall be construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Texas.

          9.8       SUCCESSORS.  The Plan shall be binding upon the Employer and
its successors and assigns, in accordance with its terms.

          9.9       CLAIMS PROCEDURE.  A Participant or Beneficiary may make a
claim for Plan benefits by filing a written application for benefits with the
Committee. Such application shall set forth the nature of the claim and any
other information that the Committee may reasonably request. The Committee shall
notify the applicant of its determination with respect to such claim within a
reasonable time after receipt of the claim, which shall not exceed 90 days
unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the
claim. If such an extension is required, written notice of the extension shall
be furnished to the applicant prior to the end of the initial period. The
extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension
of time, and the date by which a final decision is expected to be rendered.

                                       12
<PAGE>

  Notice of a claim denial, in whole or in part, shall be set forth in a manner
calculated to be understood by the applicant and shall contain the following:

(a)  The specific reason or reasons for the denial; and

(b)  A specific reference to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial
     is based; and

(c)  A description of any additional material or information necessary for the
     applicant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or
     information is necessary; and

(d)  An explanation of the Plan's claims review procedure.

     Participants shall be given timely written notice of the time limits set
forth herein for determinations on claims, appeal of claim denial and decisions
on appeal.  If notice of a claim determination is not provided within the
applicable time frame described above, the claim shall be deemed denied and the
applicant may appeal the denial as set forth below.

     If a written claim results in a claim denial, either in whole or in part,
the Participant or Beneficiary has the right to appeal.  The appeal must be in
writing.  The administrative process for appealing a claim is:

     Upon receipt of a claim denial, a Participant may file a written request,
including any additional information supporting the claim, for reconsideration
by the Committee within 60 days of receiving notification that the claim is
denied.

     The Committee normally shall render a decision no later than 60 days
following receipt of the request for review.  Under special circumstances, the
decision may be delayed up to 120 days following receipt of the request for
review.  If such an extension is required, the Participant will be advised in
writing before the extension begins.

     The Committee will provide written notice of its final determination.  The
notice will include specific reasons for the decision, be written in a manner
calculated to be understood by the Participant and make specific reference to
the Plan provisions on which it is based.

     An appeal will not be considered if it is not filed within the applicable
period of time. If a decision on an appeal is not provided within any applicable
time frame described above, the claim shall be deemed denied on appeal.

     At any stage in the appeals process, the Participant or Beneficiary or his
or her designated representative may review pertinent documents, including
copies of the Plan document and information relating to the applicant's
entitlement to such benefit, and submit issues and comments in writing.

     9.10  ARBITRATION.   (a)  Except as otherwise provided in subparagraph (b)
below, any dispute or controversy arising out of or in connection with this Plan
as to the existence, construction, validity, interpretation or meaning,
performance, non-performance, enforcement,

                                       13
<PAGE>

operation, breach, continuance or termination thereof shall be submitted to
arbitration pursuant to the following procedure:

          (i) Either the Plan or the Participant may demand such arbitration in
writing after the controversy arises, which demand shall include the name of the
arbitrator appointed by the party demanding arbitration, together with a
statement of the matter in controversy.

          (ii) Within 15 days after such demand, the other party shall name an
arbitrator, or in default thereof, such arbitrator shall be named by the
Arbitration Committee of the American Arbitration Association, and the two
arbitrators so selected shall name a third arbitrator within 15 days or, in lieu
of such agreement on a third arbitrator by the two arbitrators so appointed, a
third arbitrator shall be appointed by the Arbitration Committee of the American
Arbitration Association.

          (iii)  The Company shall bear all arbitration costs and expenses.

          (iv) The arbitration hearing shall be held at a site in Houston,
Texas, to be agreed to by a majority of the arbitrators on 10 business days
prior written notice to the parties.

          (v) The arbitration hearing shall be concluded within 10 days unless
otherwise ordered by a majority of the arbitrators, and the award thereon shall
be made within 10 days after the close of the submission of evidence.  An award
rendered by a majority of the arbitrators appointed pursuant to this Section
9.10 shall be final and binding on all parties to the proceeding, and judgment
on such award may be entered by either party in the highest court, state or
federal, having jurisdiction.

          (b) During the pendency of any dispute or controversy pursuant to this
Section 9.10, any payments under the Plan shall be suspended until the dispute
is finally resolved.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant shall be
entitled to be reimbursed on a current basis for any expenses reasonably
incurred for attorneys' fees and disbursements in bringing such action and shall
be entitled to specific performance of such right, and Participant may commence
a legal action to enforce such right.  The Company shall promptly (and in no
event later than ten (10) business days after demand) reimburse the Participant
for any expenses reasonably incurred for attorneys' fees and disbursements in
bringing such action.

          Amounts paid under this Section 9.10 are in addition to benefits
provided under this Plan and shall not be offset against or reduce any other
benefits provided under this Plan.

     (c) Except as otherwise provided, the parties stipulate that the provisions
hereof shall be a complete defense to any suit, action or proceeding instituted
in any federal, state or local court or before any administrative tribunal with
respect to any controversy or dispute arising during the period of this
Agreement and which is arbitrable as herein set forth.  The arbitration
provisions hereof shall, with respect to such controversy or dispute, survive
the termination of this Plan.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, BJ Services Company has caused this Plan to be executed
by its duly authorized officer, effective as provided herein.

                                   BJ SERVICES COMPANY

                                   By:
                                      -------------------------------------
                                      Title:
                                      Date:

                                       15
<PAGE>

Exhibit A

          (a) Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if it shall
be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company or any other
person to or for the benefit of the Participant (whether paid or payable or
distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of the Plan or otherwise, but
determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Exhibit
A) (a "Payment") would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of
the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Participant with
respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and
penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then
the Company shall pay, in accordance with paragraph (b), an additional payment
(a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment by the Participant
of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such
taxes), including, without limitation, any income or other taxes (and any
interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon
the Gross-Up Payment, the Participant retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment
equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.

          (b) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (c), all determinations
required to be made under this Exhibit A, including whether and when a Gross-Up
Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions
to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by an
independent public accounting firm with a national reputation that is selected
by the Participant (the "Accounting Firm") which shall provide detailed
preliminary calculations both to the Company and to the Participant within 15
business days after the receipt of notice from the Company that there has been a
Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Participant and shall
provide the actual amount of the Gross-Up Payment each year.  In the event that
the Accounting firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual,
entity or group effecting the Change of Control of the Company, the Participant
shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the
determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred
to as the Accounting Firm hereunder).  All fees and expenses of the Accounting
Firm shall be borne solely by the Company.  (The Company shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Participant, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or
income or other tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto)
imposed on the Participant as a result of such payment of fees and expenses.)
Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Exhibit A, shall be paid by
the Company on behalf of the Participant to the applicable tax authorities prior
to the time any such payments are due to be paid to the Internal Revenue
Service.  If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the
Participant, it shall furnish Employee with a written opinion that failure to
report the Excise Tax on Employee's applicable federal income tax return would
not result in the imposition of a negligence or similar penalty.  Any
determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the
Participant provided, however, that such determination may be changed to reflect
the outcome of a dispute under paragraph (c).  As a result of the uncertainty in
the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial
determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up
Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made
("Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations required to be made
hereunder.  If the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to paragraph (c) and
the Participant thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the
Accounting Firm

                                       16
<PAGE>

shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such
Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the
Participant.

          (c) The Participant shall notify the Company in writing of any claim
(including any threatened tax lien related to or based upon any such claim) by
the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by
the Company of the Gross-Up Payment.  Such notification shall apprise the
Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is
requested to be paid.  The Participant shall not pay such claim prior to the
expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which the Participant
gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that
any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due or such tax lien would be
imposed).  If the Company notifies the Participant in writing prior to the
expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim (or threatened
lien), the Participant shall:

          (1) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the
Company relating to such claim (or threatened lien);

          (2) take such action in connection with contesting such claim (or
threatened lien) as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to
time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect
to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company;

          (3) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to
contest such claim (or threatened lien); and

          (4) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to
such claim (or threatened lien);

provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and
expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection
with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Participant harmless, on an
after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income or other tax (including interest
and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation
and payment of costs and expenses.  Without limitation on the foregoing
provisions of this paragraph (c), the Company shall control all proceedings
taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or
forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences
with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option,
either direct the Participant to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or
contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Participant agrees to
prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in
a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the
Company shall determine (but in no event shall the Company permit or direct the
Participant to allow a tax lien to be imposed on the Participant's property);
provided, further, that if the Company directs the Participant to pay such claim
and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to
the Participant, on an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold the
Participant harmless on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income or
other tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with
respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to
such

                                       17
<PAGE>

advance; and further provided that any extension of the statute of limitations
relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Participant with
respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to
such contested amount. In addition, the Company's control of the contest shall
be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable
hereunder and the Participant shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the
case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other
taxing authority.

          (d) If after the receipt by the Participant of an amount advanced by
the Company pursuant to paragraph (c), the Participant becomes entitled to
receive any refund with respect to such claim, the Participant shall (subject to
the Company's complying with the requirements of paragraph (c)) promptly pay to
the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or
credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto).  If after the receipt by the
Participant of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to paragraph (c), a
determination is made that the Participant shall not be entitled to any refund
with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the Participant in
writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration
of 30 days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and
shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset,
to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.

          (e) Any provision in the Plan, this Exhibit A, or any other plan or
agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Company is required to pay a
Gross-Up Payment pursuant to the provisions of this Exhibit A and pursuant to
the provisions of another plan or agreement, then the Company shall pay the
greater of the amount determined pursuant to this Exhibit A or the amount
determined pursuant to the provisions of such other plan or agreement, but in no
event shall the Company pay amounts pursuant to both provisions.

                                       18

Exhibit B

Acknowledgement of Non-Compete Agreement

          The undersigned Participant acknowledges that it is a condition of
receipt of benefits under the BJ Services Company Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan that the Participant agrees as follows.  The Participant agrees
that he or she will not engage in or work for a business that competes with BJ
Services Company or any of its subsidiaries for a period that is the longer of
(i) five (5) years after the Participant's employment with the Company is
terminated or (ii) the period during which the Participant is receiving payments
under the Plan.  This prohibition shall not apply if the Participant is eligible
to receive benefits under his or her Severance Agreement with respect to such
Termination.
