RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT
AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK
The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Xxxxx Xxxxxx
Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to the Xxxxx Xxxxxx Incorporated
2002 Director & Officer Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), hereby awards to you, effective as
of the Grant Date set forth above (the “Grant Date”), that number of shares (the “Shares”) of the
Company’s Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), set forth above as
Restricted Stock on the following terms and conditions:
During the Restricted Period, the Shares of Restricted Stock will be evidenced by entries in
the stock register of the Company reflecting that such Shares of Restricted Stock have been issued
in your name. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Restricted Period” means the period
designated by the Committee during which the Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred,
pledged, or otherwise encumbered.
The Shares that are awarded hereby to you as Restricted Stock shall be subject to the
prohibitions and restrictions set forth herein with respect to the sale or other disposition of
such Shares and the obligation to forfeit and surrender such Shares to the Company (the “Forfeiture
Restrictions”). The Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to the Shares that are awarded hereby
in accordance with the following schedule provided that your employment with the Company and its
Affiliates has not terminated prior to the applicable lapse date:
| (a) | on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, the Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to one-third of the Shares subject to this Agreement; and | ||
| (b) | on each succeeding anniversary of the Grant Date, the Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to an additional one-third of the Shares subject to this Agreement, so that on the third anniversary of the Grant Date the Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to all of the Shares subject to this Agreement. |
If a Change in Control of the Company occurs or your employment with the Company and all Affiliates
terminates before the third anniversary of the Grant Date, your rights to the Shares of Restricted
Stock under this Agreement will be determined as provided in the Terms and Conditions of Restricted
Stock Award Agreements (dated January 19, 2010) (the “Terms and Conditions”).
The Shares of Restricted Stock awarded hereby may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged,
hypothecated or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of (other than by will or the
applicable laws of descent and distribution) to the extent then subject to the Forfeiture
Restrictions. Any such attempted sale, assignment, pledge, exchange, hypothecation, transfer,
encumbrance or disposition in violation of this Agreement shall be void and the Company Group shall
not be bound thereby. Further, the Shares awarded hereby that are no longer subject to
Forfeiture Restrictions may not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner that would
constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws. You also agree that (a)
the Company may refuse to cause the transfer of the Shares to be registered on the stock register
of the Company if such proposed transfer would in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Company constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities law and (b) the
Company may give related instructions to the transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the
transfer of the Shares.
Upon the lapse of the Forfeiture Restrictions with respect to Shares awarded hereby the
Company shall cause to be delivered to you a stock certificate representing such Shares, and such
Shares shall be transferable by you (except to the extent that any proposed transfer would, in the
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, constitute a violation of applicable federal or
state securities law).
The Shares that may be issued under the Plan are registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under a Registration Statement on Form S-8. A Prospectus describing the Plan and the
Shares and the Terms and Conditions can be found on the Xxxxx Xxxxxx Direct website at
xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. You may obtain a copy of the Plan Prospectus by requesting it from the
Company.
Capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in
the Plan or the Terms and Conditions.
In accepting the award of Shares of Restricted Stock set forth in this Agreement you accept
and agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, this Agreement and the Terms and
Conditions.

OF
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENTS
(January 19, 2010)
These Terms and Conditions are applicable to a restricted stock award granted pursuant to the
Xxxxx Xxxxxx Incorporated 2002 Director & Officer Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and are
incorporated as part of the Restricted Stock Award Agreement setting forth the terms of such
restricted stock award (the “Agreement”).
| 1. | TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT/CHANGE IN CONTROL. The following provisions will apply in the event your employment with the Company and all Affiliates (collectively, the “Company Group”) terminates, or a Change in Control of the Company occurs, before the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Third Anniversary Date”) under the Restricted Stock Award Agreement awarded to you (the “Agreement”): |
1.1 Termination Generally. If your employment with the Company Group terminates on
or before the Third Anniversary Date for any reason other than one of the reasons described
in Sections 1.2 through 1.5 below, the Forfeiture Restrictions then applicable to the Shares
of Restricted Stock shall not lapse and the number of Shares of Restricted Stock then
subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions shall be forfeited to the Company on the date your
employment terminates.
1.2 Potential or Actual Change in Control.
(i) Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason in Connection With a Potential
Change in Control Before the Third Anniversary Date. If (a) the Company Group
terminates your employment without Cause on or before the Third Anniversary Date
prior to a Change in Control of the Company (whether or not a Change in Control ever
occurs) and such termination is at the request or direction of a Person who has
entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which would
constitute a Change in Control of the Company or is otherwise in connection with or
in anticipation of a Change in Control of the Company (whether or not a Change in
Control ever occurs) or (b) you terminate your employment with the Company Group for
Good Reason on or before the Third Anniversary Date prior to a Change in Control of
the Company (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs), and such termination
or the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason occurs at the request or
direction of a Person who has entered into an agreement with the Company the
consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control of the Company or is
otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control of the
Company (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs), then all remaining
Forfeiture Restrictions shall immediately lapse on the date of the termination of
your employment relationship.
1
(ii) Employment Not Terminated Before a Change in Control on or Before the Third
Anniversary Date. If a Change in Control of the Company occurs on or before the
Third Anniversary Date and your employment with the Company Group does not terminate
before the date the Change in Control of the Company occurs, then all remaining
Forfeiture Restrictions shall immediately lapse on the date the Change in Control of
the Company occurs.
1.3 Divestiture of Business Unit. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Agreement or these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, if the Company Group divests its
ownership of a business unit of the Company or one or more Affiliates (a “Unit”) and your
employment with the Company Group terminates in connection with such divestiture (other than
for Cause or death or due to your becoming permanently disabled within the meaning of
Section 1.4), the Forfeiture Restrictions shall immediately lapse as to that number of
Shares of Restricted Stock that are then subject to Forfeiture Restrictions on the date of
the termination of your employment relationship with the Company Group equal to:
(1) multiplied by (2) divided by (3)
where (1) is the number of Shares of Restricted Stock that are then subject to Forfeiture
Restrictions on the date of the termination of your employment relationship with the Company
Group, (2) is the number of days during the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending
on the date your employment relationship with the Company Group and all of its Affiliates is
terminated, and (3) is the number of days during the period commencing on the Grant Date and
ending on the Third Anniversary Date. The Forfeiture Restrictions then applicable to all
the remaining Shares of the Restricted Stock after the application of the previous
provisions of this Section 1.3 shall not lapse and such Shares of Restricted Stock shall be
immediately forfeited to the Company. A “Divestiture” includes the disposition of a Unit to
an entity that the Company does not consolidate in its financial statements, whether the
disposition is structured as a sale or transfer of stock (or other ownership interest), a
merger, a consolidation or a sale or transfer of assets, or a combination thereof, provided
that a “Divestiture” shall not include a disposition that constitutes a Change in Control.
1.4 Disability. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or these Terms
and Conditions to the contrary, if you become permanently disabled before the Third
Anniversary Date and while in the active employ of one or more members of the Company Group,
all remaining Forfeiture Restrictions shall immediately lapse on the date of the termination
of your employment due to your becoming permanently disabled. For purposes of this Section
1.4, you will be “permanently disabled” if you qualify for long-term disability benefits
under a long-term disability program sponsored by the Company.
1.5 Death. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or these Terms and
Conditions to the contrary, if you die before the Third Anniversary Date and while in the
active employ of one or more members of the Company Group, all remaining Forfeiture
Restrictions shall immediately lapse on the date of the termination of your employment due
to death.

| 2. | PROHIBITED ACTIVITY. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms and Conditions or the Agreement, if you engage in a “Prohibited Activity,” as described below, while employed by one or more members of the Company Group or within two years after the date your employment with the Company Group terminates, then your right to receive the Shares, to the extent still outstanding at that time, shall be completely forfeited. A “Prohibited Activity” shall be deemed to have occurred, as determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion, if you divulge any non-public, confidential or proprietary information of the Company or of its past, present or future affiliates (collectively, the “Xxxxx Xxxxxx Group”), but excluding information that (a) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of your public use, disclosure, or fault, or (b) becomes available to you on a non-confidential basis after your employment termination date from a source other than a member of the Xxxxx Xxxxxx Group prior to the public use or disclosure by you, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation. |
| 3. | TAX WITHHOLDING. To the extent that the receipt of the Shares of Restricted Stock or the lapse of any Forfeiture Restrictions results in income, wages or other compensation to you for any income, employment or other tax purposes with respect to which the Company has a withholding obligation, you shall deliver to the Company at the time of such receipt or lapse, as the case may be, such amount of money as the Company may require to meet its obligation under applicable tax laws or regulations, and, if you fail to do so, the Company is authorized to withhold from the Shares awarded hereby or from any cash or stock remuneration or other payment then or thereafter payable to you any tax required to be withheld by reason of such taxable income, wages or compensation including (without limitation) Shares of the Restricted Stock sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligation based on the last per share sales price of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding the date that the withholding obligation arises, as reported in the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions. |
| 4. | NONTRANSFERABILITY. The Agreement is not transferable by you otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. |
| 5. | CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS AND REORGANIZATIONS. The existence of the Shares of Restricted Stock shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or any company the stock of which is awarded pursuant to the Agreement to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in its capital structure or its business, engage in any merger or consolidation, issue any debt or equity securities, dissolve or liquidate, or sell, lease, exchange or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its assets or business, or engage in any other corporate act or proceeding. |

| 6. | RIGHTS REGARDING DISTRIBUTIONS MADE BY THE COMPANY DURING THE RESTRICTED PERIOD. During the Restricted Period, (a) any securities of the Company distributed by the Company in respect of the Shares of Restricted Stock will be evidenced by entries in the appropriate securities register of the Company reflecting that such securities of the Company, if any, have been issued in your name (the “Retained Company Securities”) and (b) any securities of any company other than the Company or any other property (other than regular cash dividends) distributed by the Company in respect of the Shares of Restricted Stock will be evidenced in your name by such certificates or in such other manner as the Company determines (the “Retained Other Securities and Property”) and shall bear a restrictive legend to the effect that ownership of such Retained Other Securities and Property and the enjoyment of all rights appurtenant thereto, are subject to the restrictions, terms, and conditions provided in the Plan, the Agreement and these Terms and Conditions. The Retained Company Securities and the Retained Other Securities and Property (collectively, the “Retained Distributions”) shall be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as are applicable to the Shares of Restricted Stock. |
| 7. | RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO SHARES OF RESTRICTED STOCK AND RETAINED DISTRIBUTIONS DURING RESTRICTED PERIOD. You shall have the right to vote the Shares of Restricted Stock awarded to you and to receive and retain all regular cash dividends (which will be paid currently and in no case later than the end of the calendar year in which the dividends are paid to the holders of the Common Stock or, if later, the 15th day of the third month following the date the dividends are paid to the holders of the Common Stock), and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of the Common Stock, with respect to such Shares of Restricted Stock, with the exception that (a) you shall not be entitled to delivery of a stock certificate or certificates representing such Shares of Restricted Stock until the Forfeiture Restrictions applicable thereto shall have lapsed, (b) the Company shall retain custody of all Retained Distributions made or declared with respect to the Shares of Restricted Stock until such time, if ever, as the Forfeiture Restrictions applicable to the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which such Retained Distributions shall have been made, paid, or declared shall have lapsed, and such Retained Distributions shall not bear interest or be segregated in separate accounts and (c) you may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, exchange, encumber, or dispose of the Shares of Restricted Stock or any Retained Distributions during the Restricted Period. During the Restricted Period, the Company may, in its sole discretion, issue certificates for some or all of the Shares of Restricted Stock, in which case all such certificates shall be delivered to the Corporate Secretary of the Company or to such other depository as may be designated by the Committee as a depository for safekeeping until the forfeiture of such Shares of Restricted Stock occurs or the Forfeiture Restrictions lapse. When requested by the Company, you shall execute such stock powers or other instruments of assignment as the Company requests relating to transfer to the Company of all or any portion of such Shares of Restricted Stock and any Retained Distributions that are forfeited in accordance with the Plan, the Agreement and these Terms and Conditions. |

| 8. | EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP. For purposes of the Agreement, you shall be considered to be in the employment of the Company Group as long as you have an employment relationship with the Company Group. The Committee shall determine any questions as to whether and when there has been a termination of such employment relationship, and the cause of such termination, under the Plan and the Committee’s determination shall be final and binding on all persons. | |

| 11. | SECURITIES ACT LEGEND. If you are an officer or affiliate of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, you consent to the placing on any certificate for the Shares of an appropriate legend restricting resale or other transfer of the Shares except in accordance with such Act and all applicable rules thereunder. |

| 13. | DATA PRIVACY. The Company’s Human Resources Department in Houston, Texas (U.S.A.) administers and maintains the data regarding the Plan, the awardees and the restricted stock granted to awardees for all employees in the Company Group worldwide. | |
