********************************************************************************

Effective February 29, 2016 (the “Date of Grant”), the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) of BWX Technologies, Inc. (“BWXT”) awarded you a grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan of BWXT, as amended and restated July 1, 2015 (the “Plan”). The provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference.

Any reference or definition contained in this Agreement shall, except as otherwise specified, be construed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and all determinations and interpretations made by the Committee with regard to any question arising hereunder or under the Plan shall be binding and conclusive on you and your legal representatives and beneficiaries. The term “BWXT” as used in this Agreement with reference to employment shall include subsidiaries of BWXT (including unconsolidated joint ventures). Whenever the words “you” or “your” are used in any provision of this Agreement under circumstances where the provision should logically be construed to apply to the beneficiary, estate, or personal representative, to whom any rights under this Agreement may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, it shall be deemed to include such person.

Restricted Stock Units

1.         RSU Award. You have been awarded <shares_awarded>. Each RSU represents a right to receive one share of BWXT common stock on the Vesting Date, as set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement (the “Vesting Requirements” provision).

2.         Vesting Requirements. Subject to Section 3 of this Agreement (the “Forfeiture of RSUs” provision), RSUs do not provide you with any rights or interest therein until they become vested under one or more of the following circumstances (each such circumstance, a “Vesting Date”):

• in one-third (1/3) increments on March 1, 2017, March 1, 2018 and March 1, 2019, provided you are still employed on each date;

• 25% of the then-remaining outstanding RSUs on the date your employment with BWXT terminates if your employment is involuntarily terminated by reason of a Reduction in Force (as defined below) on or after March 1, 2017 and prior to March 1, 2018;

• 50% of the then-remaining outstanding RSUs on the date your employment with BWXT terminates if your employment is involuntarily terminated by reason of a Reduction in Force on or after March 1, 2018 and prior to March 1, 2019;

• 100% of the then-remaining outstanding RSUs on the earliest to occur prior to March 1, 2019: (a) the date of termination of your employment from BWXT due to death, (b) your Disability (as defined in the Plan) or (c) the date a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) is consummated; and

• the Committee may provide for additional vesting under other circumstances, in its sole discretion.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Reduction in Force” means a termination of employment under circumstances that would result in the payment of benefits under the BWX Technologies Employee Severance Plan or a successor plan (as may be amended) whether or not you are a participant in such plan.

3.         Forfeiture of RSUs. RSUs which are not or do not become vested upon your termination of employment shall, coincident therewith, terminate and be of no force or effect.

In the event that (a) you are convicted of (i) a felony or (ii) a misdemeanor involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude, or (b) you engage in conduct that adversely affects or may reasonably be expected to adversely affect the business reputation or economic interests of BWXT, as determined in the sole judgment of the Committee, then all RSUs and all rights or benefits awarded to you under this grant of RSUs are forfeited, terminated and withdrawn immediately upon such conviction or notice of such determination. The Committee shall have the right to suspend any and all rights or benefits awarded to you hereunder pending its investigation and final determination with regard to such matters. The forfeiture provisions of this paragraph are in addition to the provisions under the heading “Clawback Provisions” below.

4.         Settlement of RSUs. If you have not made a permitted deferral election, RSUs shall be settled in shares of BWXT common stock, which shares shall be distributed as soon as administratively practicable after the Settlement Date, but in no event later than March 15 following the end of the calendar year in which the Settlement Date occurs. If you have made a permitted deferral election, shares shall be distributed on the Settlement Date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Settlement Date” means either: (a) the applicable Vesting Date or, in the event you made a permitted deferral election pursuant to the Plan with respect to this grant, (b) the date(s) of the applicable distribution event in accordance with such deferral election.

5.         Dividend, Voting Rights and Other Rights. You shall have no rights of ownership in the shares of BWXT common stock underlying the RSUs and shall have no right to vote such

- 2 -

shares until the date on which the shares are transferred to you pursuant hereto. To the extent that cash dividends are otherwise paid with respect to shares of BWXT common stock, dividend equivalents will be credited with respect to the shares underlying the RSUs and shall vest at the same time as the related RSUs vest. Vested dividend equivalents shall be paid contingent upon the vesting of the related RSUs and paid at the same time the underlying shares are transferred to you with no earnings accruing thereon. Dividend equivalents credited with respect to RSUs that do not vest shall be forfeited at the same time the related RSUs are forfeited.

Taxes

6.         Liability for Tax-Related Items. Regardless of any action BWXT or your employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge and agree that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that BWXT and/or the Employer (i) make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this grant of RSUs, including the grant and vesting of RSUs, subsequent delivery of Shares or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to such RSUs and receipt of any dividend equivalent payments (if any) and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms or any aspect of this grant of RSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items. Prior to the taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you shall pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to BWXT or to the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize BWXT or Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by you by (1) withholding a number of Shares otherwise deliverable equal to the minimum statutory withholding amount, which shall be the default method of withholding absent other agreement which is acceptable to the Committee; (2) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid by BWXT and/or Employer; and/or (3) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the RSUs, either through a voluntary sale or through a sale arranged by BWXT (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization), to the extent permitted by the Committee. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of Shares as described herein, you understand that you will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the settled RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of the settlement of the RSUs.

Transferability

7.         Non-Transferability. RSUs granted hereunder are non-transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order.

Clawback Provisions

8.         Recovery of RSUs. In the event that BWXT is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of BWXT with any financial reporting requirement under the U.S. federal securities laws as a result of fraud (a “Restatement”) and the

- 3 -

Board reasonably determines that you knowingly engaged in the fraud, BWXT will have the right to recover the RSUs granted during the three-year period preceding the date on which the Board or BWXT, as applicable, determines it is required to prepare the Restatement (the “Three-Year Period”), or vested in whole or in part during the Three-Year Period, to the extent of any excess of what would have been granted to or would have vested for you under the Restatement.

9.         Recovery Process. In the event a Restatement is required, the Board, based upon a recommendation by the Committee, will (a) review the RSUs either granted or vested in whole or in part during the Three-Year Period and (b) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, will take reasonable action to seek recovery of the amount of such RSUs in excess of what would have been granted to or would have vested for you under the Restatement (but in no event more than the total amount of such RSUs), as such excess amount is reasonably determined by the Board in its sole discretion, in compliance with Section 409A of the Code. There shall be no duplication of recovery under Article 19 of the Plan and any of 15 U.S.C. Section 7243 (Section 304 of The Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002) and Section 10D of the Exchange Act. The clawback provisions of this Agreement are in addition to the forfeiture provisions contained in Section 3 of this Agreement (under the heading “Forfeiture of RSUs”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, you acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and the award described herein (and any settlement thereof) are subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s clawback policy (if any) as may be in effect from time to time specifically to implement Section 10D of the Exchange Act, and any applicable rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (including applicable rules and regulations of any national securities exchange on which the Shares may be traded) (the “Compensation Recovery Policy”), and that Sections 8 and 9 of this Agreement shall be deemed superseded by and subject to the terms and conditions of the Compensation Recovery Policy from and after the effective date thereof.

Other Information

10.       No Guarantee of Continued Service. Neither the action of BWXT in establishing the Plan, nor any action taken by it, by the Committee or by your employer, nor any provision of the Plan or this Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon you the right to be retained in the employ of BWXT.

11.       Country-Specific Special Terms and Conditions. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the RSUs shall also be subject to the special terms and conditions set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement for your country of residence. Moreover, if you relocate to one of the countries included on Appendix A, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to you, to the extent BWXT determines that the application of such terms and conditions are necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan. Appendix A constitutes part of this Agreement.

• the Plan is established voluntarily by BWXT, is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by BWXT at any time;

• the grant of the RSUs is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of RSUs, or benefits in lieu of RSUs, even if RSUs have been granted repeatedly in the past;

• you are voluntarily participating in the Plan;

5. Dividend Equivalents Settled in Shares or Cash. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any vested dividend equivalents will be settled in cash.
