US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE
FOR US AND NON-US EMPLOYEES
AGREEMENT by and between KBR, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and _____________ (“Employee”) made effective as of ____________________ (the “Grant Date”).
To carry out the purposes of the KBR, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”), by affording Employee the opportunity to purchase shares of common stock of the Company (“Stock”), and in consideration of the mutual agreements and other matters set forth herein and in the Plan, the Company and Employee hereby agree to the following terms set forth herein. Except as defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the same meanings ascribed to them under the Plan.
1.Grant of Option. The Company hereby irrevocably grants to Employee the right and option (“Option”) to purchase an aggregate of _______ shares of Stock at the option price indicated below, on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference as a part of this Agreement. This Option shall not be treated as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
2.Option Price. The purchase price of Stock to be paid by Employee pursuant to the exercise of this Option shall equal the closing sale price per share for KBR, Inc. as reported in composite transactions for the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. on the Grant Date (the “Exercise Price”).
3.Exercise of Option. Subject to the earliest expiration of this Option as herein provided, this Option may be exercised by providing notice of exercise in the manner specified by the Company from time to time. Exercise of this Option must occur during the regular trading hours in which the Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange or other principal exchange on which the Stock is then traded. Except as otherwise provided below, this Option shall not be exercisable for more than a percentage of the aggregate number of shares of Stock offered by this Option determined by the number of full years from the Grant Date to the date of such exercise, in accordance with the following schedule:
Number of Full Years | Percentage of Stock That May Be Purchased | |
Less than 1 year | 0% | |
1 year | 33 ⅓% | |
2 years | 66 ⅔% | |
3 years | 100% |
However, Company shall seek recovery of any benefits provided hereunder to Employee if such recovery is required by any clawback policy adopted by the Company, which may be amended from time to time, including, but not limited to, any clawback policy adopted to
1
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE
satisfy the minimum clawback requirements adopted under the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the regulations thereunder or any other applicable law.
This Option is not transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a “qualified domestic relations order” as defined by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and may be exercised during Employee’s lifetime only by Employee, Employee’s guardian or legal representative or a transferee under a qualified domestic relations order. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Option or of such rights contrary to the provisions hereof or in the Plan, or upon the levy of any attachment or similar process upon this Option or such rights, this Option and such rights shall immediately become null and void. This Option may be exercised only while Employee remains an employee of the Company, subject to the following exceptions:
(a) If Employee’s employment with the Company terminates by reason of disability (disability being defined as being physically or mentally incapable of performing either the Employee’s usual duties as an Employee or any other duties as an Employee that the Company reasonably makes available and such condition is likely to remain continuously and permanently, as determined by the Company or employing Subsidiary), this Option may be exercised in full by Employee (or Employee’s estate or the person who acquires this Option by will or the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise by reason of the death of Employee) at any time during the period ending on the earlier of the Expiration Date (as defined below) or the third anniversary of the date of Employee’s termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Employee’s termination of employment by reason of disability occurs during the first six months following the Grant Date, this Option may be exercised in full at any time during the period ending on the earlier of the Expiration Date or the fourth anniversary of the date of Employee’s termination of employment.
(b) If Employee dies while in the employ of the Company, Employee’s estate, or the person who acquires this Option by will or the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise by reason of the death of Employee, may exercise this Option in full at any time during the period ending on the earlier of the Expiration Date or the third anniversary of the date of Employee’s death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Employee dies during the first six months following the Grant Date, this Option may be exercised in full at any time during the period ending on the earlier of the Expiration Date or the fourth anniversary of the date of Employee’s termination of employment.
(c) If Employee’s employment with the Company terminates by reason of normal retirement at or after age 65, this Option may be exercised by Employee at any time during the period ending on the Expiration Date, but only as to the number of shares of Stock Employee was entitled to purchase on the date of such exercise in accordance with the schedule set forth above. In connection with the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company by reason of early retirement, applicable management of the Company and/or business unit/group may recommend to the Committee or its delegate, as applicable, that this Option be retained. In such event, the Committee or its delegate, as the case may be, shall consider such recommendation and
2
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE
may, in the Committee’s or such delegate’s sole discretion, approve the retention of this Option following such early retirement, in which case the Option may be exercised by Employee at any time during the period ending on the Expiration Date, but only as to the number of shares of Stock Employee was entitled to purchase on the date of such exercise in accordance with the schedule set forth above. If, after retirement as set forth above, Employee should die, this Option may be exercised in full by Employee’s estate (or the person who acquires this Option by will or the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise by reason of the death of the Employee) during the period ending on the earlier of the Expiration Date or the third anniversary of the date of Employee’s death.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in Employee’s jurisdiction that likely would result in the favorable retirement treatment that applies to the Option under the Plan being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, Employee shall not be entitled to exercise this Option at any time prior to the Expiration Date upon Employee’s attainment of age 65 while still employed by the Company. Instead, the Employee shall be entitled to exercise this Option at any time prior to the Expiration Date when Employee's employment is terminated for any reason with at least 25 years of service at the Company or employing Subsidiary (or such lesser number of years of service under special circumstances as may be determined in the Committee’s (or its delegate’s) sole discretion) subject, however, to this being considered nondiscriminatory by legal counsel and to the Committee's (or its delegate’s) sole discretion to approve such extension of exercisability.
(d) If Employee’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than those set forth in subparagraphs (a) through (c) above, this Option may be exercised by Employee at any time during the period of 30 days following such termination, or by Employee’s estate (or the person who acquires this Option by will or the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise by reason of the death of the Employee) during a period of six months following Employee’s death if Employee dies during such 30-day period, but in each case only as to the number of shares of Stock Employee was entitled to purchase hereunder upon exercise of this Option as of the date Employee’s employment so terminates.
This Option shall not be exercisable in any event prior to the expiration of six months from the date of grant hereof or after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant hereof (the “Expiration Date”) notwithstanding anything hereinabove contained. The purchase price of Stock as to which this Option is exercised shall be paid in full at the time of exercise in cash (in the form and manner prescribed by the Company). At Employee’s request or the request of another person entitled to exercise this Option, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee in its discretion may selectively approve “cashless exercise” arrangements with a brokerage firm under which such brokerage firm, on behalf of Employee or such other person exercising this Option, shall pay to the Company or its designee the Exercise Price of this Option or of the portion being exercised, and the Company or its designee, pursuant to an irrevocable notice from Employee or such other person exercising this Option, shall promptly deliver the shares being purchased to such firm. No fraction of a share of Stock shall be issued by the Company upon exercise of this Option or accepted by the Company in payment of the purchase price thereof; rather, Employee shall provide
3
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE
a cash payment for such amount as is necessary to effect the issuance and acceptance of only whole shares of Stock. Unless and until a certificate or certificates representing such Stock shall have been issued by the Company to Employee, Employee (or the person permitted to exercise this Option in the event of Employee’s death) shall not be or have any of the rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Company with respect to Stock acquirable upon an exercise of this Option.
4. Withholding of Tax. Employee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, Employee’s employer (“Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Employee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Employee (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains Employee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer. Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Option, including but not limited to, the grant, vesting, exercise of this Option, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of this Option to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Employee is subjected to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Employee agrees to pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Employee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(a)withholding from Employee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Employee by the Company and/or the Employer; or
(a) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon exercise of this Option either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Employee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or
(b) withholding in shares of Stock to be issued upon exercise of this Option.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Employee will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the shares of Stock. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Stock, for tax purposes, Employee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject
4
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE
to this Option, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
Employee agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer, including through withholding from Employee's wages or other cash compensation paid to Employee by Company and/or the Employer, any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Employee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Stock or the proceeds of the sale of the shares of Stock, if Employee fails to comply with Employee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Paragraph 4, Employee’s liability with respect to Tax-Related Items shall be subject to any international tax assignment agreement then in effect between Employee and the Company, the Employer or any of their respective affiliates or any tax policies or procedures applicable to the Employee’s home country, and in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Paragraph 3 and the terms of such international tax assignment agreement or such tax policies or procedures, the terms of such international tax assignment agreement or such tax policies or procedures, as applicable, shall control.
5. Status of Stock. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Stock pursuant to any Option at any time, when the offering of the shares of Stock covered by such Option has not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and such other country, federal or state laws, rules or regulations as the Company deems applicable and, in the opinion of legal counsel for the Company, there is no exemption from the registration. The Company intends to use its best efforts to ensure that no such delay will occur. In the event exemption from registration under the Act is available upon an exercise of this Option, Employee (or the person permitted to exercise this Option in the event of Employee’s death or incapacity), if requested by the Company to do so, will execute and deliver to the Company in writing an agreement containing such provisions as the Company may require to ensure compliance with applicable U.S., state, local or foreign securities laws.
Employee agrees that the shares of Stock which Employee may acquire by exercising this Option will not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner which would constitute a violation of any applicable securities laws, whether federal, state, local or foreign. Employee also agrees (i) that the certificates representing the shares of Stock purchased under this Option may bear such legend or legends as the Company deems appropriate in order to ensure compliance with applicable securities laws, (ii) that the Company may refuse to register the transfer of the shares of Stock purchased under this Option on the stock transfer records of the Company if such proposed transfer would in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company constitute a violation of any applicable securities law and (iii) that the Company may give related instructions to its transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the transfer of the Stock purchased under this Option.
6. Employment Relationship. For purposes of this Agreement, Employee shall be considered to be in the employment of the Company as long as Employee remains an employee of the Company, a Parent Corporation or Subsidiary of the Company, or a corporation or a Parent Corporation or subsidiary of such corporation assuming or substituting a new option for this Option. Any question as to whether and when there has been a termination of such employment,
5
US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE
and the cause of such termination, shall be determined by the Committee or its delegate, as appropriate, and such determination shall be final.
7. Data Privacy Notice and Consent. Employee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Employee’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Option grant materials by and among, as applicable, Employee’s employer, the Company, and its Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Employee’s participation in the Plan.
Employee understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about Employee, including, but not limited to, Employee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of Stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Options or any other entitlement to shares of Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Employee’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). Employee understands that Data will be transferred to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Employee understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than Employee’s country. Employee understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting Employee’s local human resources representative. Employee authorizes the Company, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering, and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing Employee’s participation in the Plan. Employee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Employee’s participation in the Plan.
Employee understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing Employee’s local human resources representative. Further, Employee understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Employee does not consent, or if Employee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, Employee's employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing Employee's consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Employee Options or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, Employee understands that refusal or withdrawal of consent may affect Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Employee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Employee understands that Employee may contact Employee’s local human resources representative.

Terms and Conditions of Option Grant
SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR OPTION GRANT
IN CERTAIN COUNTRIES
This Addendum includes special country-specific terms that apply to residents in countries listed below. This Addendum is part of the Agreement. Unless otherwise provided below, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan and the Agreement.
This Addendum also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which Employee should be aware with respect to Employee’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of February 2014. Such laws are often complex, change frequently, certain individual exchange control reporting requirements may apply upon exercise of Employee’s Option and/or sale of shares of Stock and results may be different based on the particular facts and circumstances. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Employee does not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of Employee’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time Employee’s Options vest, the Employee exercises his or her Option or Employee sells shares of Stock acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to Employee’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Employee of any particular result. Accordingly, Employee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in Employee’s country may apply to Employee’s situation.
If Employee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the country in which Employee is working, or if Employee transfers employment after the Options are granted to Employee, the information contained in this Addendum for the country Employee works in at the time of grant may not be applicable to Employee and the Company, in its discretion, determines to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to Employee. If Employee transfers residency and/or employment to another country or is considered a resident of another country listed in the Addendum after the Option is granted to Employee, the terms and/or information contained for that new country (rather than the original grant country) may be applicable to Employee.

Manner of Exercising Option.
The following provision supplements Paragraph 3 of the Agreement:
Due to regulatory requirements, Employee understands that Employee will be restricted to the cashless sell-all method of exercise. To complete a cashless sell-all exercise, Employee understands that Employee needs to instruct his or her broker to: (i) sell all of the shares of Stock issued upon exercise; (ii) use the proceeds to pay the Exercise Price, brokerage fees and any applicable Tax‑Related Items; and (iii) remit the balance in cash to Employee. Employee will not be permitted to hold shares of Stock after exercise.

Due to fluctuations in the Stock price and/or the U.S. Dollar/PRC exchange rate between the cashless sell-all exercise date and (if later) when the proceeds can be converted into local currency, the proceeds that Employee receives may be more or less than the market value of the shares of Stock on the cashless sell-all exercise date (which is the amount relevant to determining Employee’s tax liability).

The Company may deliver the proceeds to Employee in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid in U.S. dollars, Employee understands that he or she will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the proceeds are converted to local currency, there may be delays in delivering the proceeds to Employee and due to fluctuations in the Stock trading price and/or the U.S. dollar/PRC exchange rate between the exercise date and (if later) when the proceeds can be converted into local currency, the proceeds that Employee receives may be more or less than the market value of the shares of Stock on the exercise date (which is the amount relevant to determining his or her tax liability). Employee agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the cashless sell-all exercise date and the time the proceeds are

Withholding of Taxes.
The following section supplements Paragraph 4 of the Agreement.
Notwithstanding Paragraph 4 of the Agreement, Employee agrees that if he or she does not pay or the Employer or the Company does not withhold from Employee the full amount of Tax-Related Items that Employee owes due to the exercise of the Option, or the release or assignment of the Option for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Option (the “Taxable Event”) within 90 days after the Taxable Event, or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Xxxxxxxx) Xxx 0000, then the amount of income tax that should have been withheld shall constitute a loan owed by Employee to the Employer, effective 90 days after the Taxable Event. Employee agrees that the loan will bear interest at Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) official rate and will be immediately due and repayable by Employee, and the Company and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by withholding the funds from salary, bonus or any other funds due to Employee by the Employer, by withholding in shares of Stock issued upon exercise of the Option or from the cash proceeds from the sale of shares of Stock or by demanding cash or a cheque from Employee. Employee also authorizes the Company to delay the issuance of any shares of Stock to Employee unless and until the loan is repaid in full.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Employee is an officer or executive director (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that Employee is an officer or executive director and the amount necessary to satisfy Tax-Related Items is not collected from or paid by Employee within 90 days of the Taxable Event, any uncollected amounts of income tax may constitute a benefit to Employee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. Employee acknowledges that Employee ultimately will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer (as appropriate) for the value of any national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit. Employee acknowledges that the Company or the Employer may recover any such additional income tax and national insurance contributions at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Paragraph 4 of the Agreement.
