3. Responsibility for Taxes. 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 the Restricted Stock Units, including but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Stock acquired pursuant to such settlement 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 the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Employee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, 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
2
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding 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
(b) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units 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
(c) withholding in shares of Stock to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.
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 may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Stock, for tax purposes, Employee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the 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 the 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 Stock or the proceeds of the sale 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 3, 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.
4. 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 award for this Award. Without limiting the scope of the preceding sentence, it is expressly provided that Employee shall be considered to have terminated employment with the Company at the time of the termination of the “Subsidiary” status under the Plan of the entity or other organization that employs Employee. Any question as to whether and when there has been a termination of such employment, and the cause of such termination, shall be determined by the Committee, or its delegate, as appropriate, and its determination shall be final.
5. Committee’s Powers. No provision contained in this Agreement shall in any way terminate, modify or alter, or be construed or interpreted as terminating, modifying or altering any of the powers, rights or authority vested in the Committee or, to the extent delegated, in its delegate pursuant to the terms of the Plan or resolutions adopted in furtherance of the Plan, including, without limitation, the right to make certain determinations and elections with respect to the Restricted Stock Units.

6. Data Privacy Notice and Consent.
(a) Declaration of Consent. By accepting the Restricted Stock Units via the Company’s acceptance procedure, Employee is declaring that he or she agrees with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Data by the Company and the transfer of Data to the recipients mentioned below, including recipients located in countries which may not have a similar level of protection from the perspective of the data protection laws in Employee’s country.
(b) Data Collection and Usage. The Company and the Employer may collect, process and use certain personal information about Employee, including, but not limited to, Employee’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Employee’s favor (“Data”), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is Employee’s consent.
(c) Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers Data, or parts thereof, to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and may share Data with different service providers that serve in a similar manner. Employee acknowledges and understands that the Company’s service provider will open an account for Employee to receive and trade shares of Stock acquired under the Plan and that Employee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition of Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(d) International Data Transfers. The Company and its service provider, are based in the United States. Employee understands that his or her country may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the laws of the United States. For example, the European Commission has issued only a limited adequacy finding with respect to the United States that applies solely if and to the extent that companies self-certify and remain self-certified under the EU/U.S. Privacy Shield program. As a result, in the absence of appropriate safeguards such as standard data protection clauses, the processing of Employee’s Data in the United States or, as the case may be, other countries might not be subject to substantive data processing principles or supervision by data protection authorities. In addition, Employee might not have enforceable rights regarding the processing of his or her Data in such countries. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of Data is Employee’s consent.
(e) Data Retention. The Company will hold and use the Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Employee’s participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, labor, securities and exchange control laws.
(f) Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and Employee is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. Employee understands that he or she may withdraw consent at any time with future effect for any or no reason. If Employee does not consent, or if Employee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, Employee’s salary from or employment and career with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to offer Restricted Stock Units to Employee or administer or maintain Employee’s participation in the Plan.
(g) Data Subject Rights. Employee understands that data subject rights vary depending on the applicable law and that, depending on where Employee is based and subject to the conditions set out in the applicable law, Employee may have, without limitation, the rights to (i) request access or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) rectification of incorrect Data, (iii) deletion of Data, (iv) restrictions on processing of Data, (v) portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in Employee’s jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data. To receive clarification regarding
4
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
these rights or to exercise these rights, Employee understands that he or she can contact Employee’s local human resources representative.
By clicking the “Accept” or similar button implemented into the relevant web page or platform, Employee declares, without limitation, his or her consent to the data processing operations described in this Agreement. Employee understands and acknowledges that he or she may withdraw consent at any time with future effect for any or no reason as described in sub-section (f) above. |

(h) the future value of the Stock is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(i) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units resulting from Employee ceasing to provide employment or other services to the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever, and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Employee is employed or the terms of Employee’s employment agreement, if any);

(l) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Restricted Stock Units and the Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units, and the income and value of the same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, services Employee may provide as a director of a Subsidiary; and
(m) neither the Company, the Employer nor any Subsidiary of the Company shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Employee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or of any amounts due to Employee pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any shares of Stock acquired upon settlement.
8. No Advice Regarding Grant.

Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Grant
SPECIAL PROVISIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
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 2020. Such laws are often complex, change frequently, certain individual exchange control reporting requirements may apply upon vesting of Restricted Stock Units and/or sale 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 Restricted Stock Units vest 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 should 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 Restricted Stock Units 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, may determine 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 Restricted Stock Units are granted to Employee, the terms and/or information contained for that new country (rather than the original grant country) may be applicable to Employee.

In addition to the information set out in the Agreement, including this Addendum, Employee is also being provided with copies of the following documents:
(a) | the Plan; and |
(b) | the Plan prospectus. |
(collectively, the “Additional Documents”). The Additional Documents provide further information to help Employee make an informed investment decision about participating in the Plan. Neither the Plan nor the Plan prospectus is a prospectus for the purposes of the Corporations Act.

The information herein is general information only. It is not advice or information that takes into account any Employees’ objectives and financial situation.
Employees should consider obtaining their own financial product advice from a person who is licensed by ASIC to give such advice.
Risk Factors for Australian Residents.
Employee should have regard to risk factors relevant to investment in securities generally and, in particular, to the holding of shares of Stock. For example, the price at which a share of Stock is quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) may increase or decrease due to a number of factors. There is no guarantee that the price of a share of Stock will increase. Factors which may affect the price of a share of Stock include fluctuations in the domestic and international market for the listed stocks, general economic conditions, including interest rates, inflation rates, legislation or regulation, the nature of the markets in which the Company operates and general operational and business risks.
More information about potential factors that could affect the Company’s business and financial results is included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings the Company may make from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Copies of these reports are available at xxxx://xxx.xxx and upon request to the Company.
In addition, Employee should be aware that the Australian dollar value of the shares of Stock Employee may acquire under the Plan will be affected by the U.S./Australian dollar exchange rate. Participating in the Plan involves risks related to fluctuations in this rate of exchange.

Common Stock in a U.S. Corporation.
Common stock of a U.S. corporation is analogous to ordinary shares of an Australian corporation. Each holder of a share of Stock is entitled to one vote. Further, shares of Stock are not liable to any further calls for payment of capital or for other assessment by the Company and have no sinking fund provisions, pre-emptive rights, conversion rights or redemption provisions.
Ascertaining the Market Price of Shares.
Employee may ascertain the market price of a share of Stock by obtaining the current trading price of a share on the NYSE at xxxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxx/xxxxx under the ticker “KBR”. The Australian dollar equivalent of that price can be obtained at: xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx/xxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx-xxxxx.xxxx.
This will not be a prediction of the market price of an individual share when such shares are acquired under the Plan or of the applicable exchange rate on the acquisition date.

Restricted Stock Units Payable Only in Stock.
The following provision supplements Paragraph 2(e) of the Agreement:
Notwithstanding any discretion in the Plan or anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the award of Restricted Stock Units does not provide any right for Employee to receive a cash payment and shall be paid in shares of Stock only.
Foreign Account/Asset Tax Reporting Information.
Employee may be required to report his or her specified foreign property on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of his or her specified foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time in the year. Foreign specified property includes cash, any shares of Stock issued to Employee upon vesting and settlement of the Award as well as the Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units must be reported - generally at a nil cost - if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign property that Employee holds. If shares of Stock are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”). The ACB would normally equal the fair market value of the shares of Stock issued to Employee upon vesting and settlement of the Award, but if Employee owns other shares, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares. The Form T1135 is required for every year during which foreign specified property exceeds C$100,000 and must be filed with Employee’s annual tax return.
Termination of Employment.
The following provision supplements Paragraph 7(j) of the Agreement:
For purposes of this Award and except as expressly required by applicable legislation, in the event of Employee’s termination of employment for any reason (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, Employee’s right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that is the earliest of (1) the date upon which Employee’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated; (2) the date Employee is no longer actively providing services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (3) the date Employee receives written notice of termination of employment from the Employer, regardless of any notice period or period of pay in lieu of such notice required under applicable laws (including, but not limited to statutory law, regulatory law and/or common law); in the event that the date Employee is no longer actively providing services cannot be reasonably determined under the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Restricted Stock Units (including whether Employee may be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).
Securities Law Information.
Employee is permitted to sell shares of Stock acquired under the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided that the sale of such shares takes place outside Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed (i.e., the New York Stock Exchange).
