3.2 Reduction of Basic Benefit Accruals. The Committee may reduce the percentage of the Basic Benefit Accrual upon written notice to a Participant. Such reduction shall apply only as to Plan Years following such notice, or in the case of a new Participant, beginning on the date that the Participant first receives credit under Section 3.1.

III-1

ARTICLE IV

ACCOUNT

4.1 Establishing a Participant’s Account. The Committee shall establish an Account for each Participant in a special Foreign Deferred Compensation Ledger which shall be maintained by the Company. The Account shall reflect the amount of the Company’s obligation to the Participant at any given time.

4.2 Basic Benefit Account. The Basic Benefit shall be credited to each Participant’s Basic Benefit Account as of the last day of each month of each Plan Year for the accrual attributable to Compensation paid during that month.

4.3 Gauge for Determining Benefits. Except as specified in Section 4.4, the Basic Benefit credits described in Section 4.2 shall be credited in non-monetary units equal to the number of whole Common Shares that could have been purchased at a price equal to the average closing sale price of a Common Share during the calendar month for which the credit is made as reported by the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed, if the Common Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, or the average of the bid and asked price of a Common Share during such month as reported in the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation National Market System (or successor system) listing if the Common Shares are not then listed on a national securities exchange, provided that if no such closing price or quotes are so reported during that month or if, in the discretion of the Committee, another means of determining the fair market value of the Common Shares for such month shall be necessary and advisable, the Committee may provide for another means of determining such value and in monetary units for any amount that is less than the value of a whole share. Any monetary unit credited to an Account will be added to the next such amount credited to the Account and converted into a non-monetary unit as quickly as possible.

IV-1

The value of each unit credited to an Account and therefore the ultimate value of the deferred compensation payable to each Participant will increase or decrease in proportion to the change in the value of a Common Share between the date of the initial crediting of a unit and the date that the unit is valued for distribution under Article VI of the Plan.

4.4 Adjustments for the Grant Spin-Off and Grant Merger. Following the Grant Spin-Off, each Participant’s Account was deemed credited with one non-monetary unit equal to one share of Grant Stock for every one non-monetary unit equal to one share of common stock of the Sponsor that was deemed to be credited to his Account as of the date of the Grant Spin-Off or subsequently credited to his Account for Compensation earned through the date of the Grant Spin-Off. Effective April 22, 2008, units equal to shares of Grant Stock deemed credited to Participants’ Accounts were converted into a certain number of units equal to NOV Shares. Upon the Grant Merger, the Committee credited to a Participant’s Account non-monetary units equal to NOV Shares in an amount equal to the number of units representing shares of Grant Stock credited to the Participant’s Account multiplied by .781546.

IV-2

ARTICLE V

VESTING

Upon his Retirement, death or Disability, a Participant will have a 100 percent nonforfeitable interest in the Basic Benefit credited to his Account together with any increase or decrease in the accruals as a result of the change in the value of the non-monetary units after they have been initially credited, except for the events of forfeiture described in Section 6.7. In addition, a Participant’s interest in the Basic Benefit credited to his Account together with any increase or decrease in the accruals as a result of the rise in the value of the non-monetary units after they have been initially credited shall vest on the Vesting Date at the rate set out in the vesting schedule below, subject to earlier vesting upon the occurrence of a Change of Control as provided in this Article V or upon termination of the Plan as provided in Section 9.3 and except for events of forfeiture described in Section 6.7.


Completed Years of Service

Less than one year		0
One but less than two		20
Two but less than three		40
Three but less than four		60
Four but less than five		80

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Basic Benefit and Company Match credited to a Participant’s Account together with any increase or decrease in the accruals as a result of the rise in the value of the non-monetary units after they have been initially credited will, to the extent not previously vested, be fully and immediately 100% vested.

DISTRIBUTIONS

6.1 Death. Upon the death of a Participant, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall receive the value of the amounts credited to the Participant’s Accounts in the Foreign Deferred Compensation Ledger determined under Section 6.9, and the distribution shall be made in Common Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that NOV Shares were deemed credited to the Participant’s Account in connection with the Grant Merger, the Committee may cause NOV Shares to be distributed to his Beneficiary or Beneficiaries. The distribution shall be made within 30 days after the Participant’s death.

Each Participant, upon notification of his participation in the Plan, shall file with the Committee a designation of a Beneficiary to whom distributions otherwise due the Participant shall be made in the event of his death prior to the distribution of the amount credited to his Accounts in the Foreign Deferred Compensation Ledger. The designation will be effective upon receipt by the Committee of a properly executed form which the Committee has approved for that purpose. The Participant may from time to time revoke or change any designation of Beneficiary by filing another approved Beneficiary designation form with the Committee. If there is no valid designation of Beneficiary on file with the Committee at the time of the Participant’s death, or if all of the Beneficiaries designated in the last Beneficiary designation have predeceased the Participant or otherwise ceased to exist, the Beneficiary will be the Participant’s spouse, if the spouse survives the Participant, or otherwise the Participant’s estate. Any Beneficiary designation that designates any person or entity other than the Participant’s spouse must be consented to in writing by the spouse in a form acceptable to the Committee in order to be effective.

VI-1

6.2 Disability. Upon the Disability of a Participant, the Participant shall receive the value of the amounts credited to the Participant’s Accounts in the Foreign Deferred Compensation Ledger determined under Section 6.9, and the distribution shall be made in Common Shares.

The distribution shall be made within 90 days after the Participant incurs a Disability.

6.3 Retirement. Upon the Retirement of a Participant, the Participant shall receive the value of the Section 409A Exempt Amounts credited to his Accounts in the Foreign Deferred Compensation Ledger determined under Section 6.9, and the distribution shall be made in Common Shares.

The distribution shall be made within 90 days after the Participant’s Retirement.

6.4 Termination Prior to Death, Disability or Retirement. Upon a Participant’s termination from the employ of the Company prior to death, Disability or Retirement, the Participant shall receive the portion of the Section 409A Exempt Amounts credited to his Accounts in the Foreign Deferred Compensation Ledger, determined under Section 6.9, which is vested under Article V, and the distribution shall be made in Common Shares.

The distribution shall be made within 90 days after the Participant’s termination. Any amounts not then vested shall be forfeited.

VI-2

6.5 Separation From Service. In the event of the termination of a Participant’s employment with the Company (for any reason other than death or Disability), he shall be entitled to receive the portion of the Section 409A Amounts credited to his Accounts in the Foreign Deferred Compensation Ledger, determined under Section 6.9, which is vested under Article V. The distribution of such Section 409A Amounts shall be made within 30 days after the Participant’s Separation From Service if he is not a Specified Employee or on the date that is six months following the date of the Participant’s Separation From Service. Any distribution under this Section 6.5 shall be made in Common Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that units representing NOV Shares were deemed credited to the Participant’s Account in connection with the Grant Merger, the Committee may cause NOV Shares to be distributed to him. Any Section 409A Amounts credited to a Participant’s Accounts that are not vested at the time of the Participant’s Separation From Service shall be forfeited.

6.6 Specified Time. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if the death of the Participant, the Disability of the Participant, the termination of employment of the Participant, or the Separation From Service of the Participant, as applicable, does not occur before January 1, 2017, then any Section 409A Amounts (including shares) deemed credited to the Participant’s Accounts in the Deferred Compensation Ledger determined under Section 6.9 shall be distributed to the Participant on January 1, 2017. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that units representing NOV Shares were deemed credited to the Participant’s Account in connection with the Grant Merger, the Committee may cause NOV Shares to be distributed to him.

6.7 Forfeiture for Cause. If the Committee finds, after full consideration of the facts presented on behalf of both the Company and a former Participant, that the Participant was

VI-3

discharged by the Company for fraud, embezzlement, theft, commission of a felony, proven dishonesty in the course of his employment by the Company which damaged the Company, or for disclosing trade secrets of the Company, the entire amount credited to his Accounts in the Foreign Deferred Compensation Ledger shall be forfeited even though it may have been previously vested under Article V. The decision of the Committee as to the cause of a former Participant’s discharge and the damage done to the Company shall be final. No decision of the Committee shall affect the finality of the discharge of the Participant by the Company in any manner.

6.8 Responsibility for Distributions and Withholding of Taxes. The Committee shall furnish information to the Company last employing the Participant concerning the amount and form of distribution to any Participant entitled to a distribution so that the Company may make the distribution required. It will also calculate the deductions, if any, from the amount of the benefit paid under the Plan for any taxes required to be withheld by any government or similar authority and will cause them to be withheld and paid to the appropriate authority. If a Participant earns deferred compensation under the Plan while in the service of more than one Company, each Company for which the Participant worked shall pay the amount attributable to the period the Participant was in the service of that Company.

6.9 Distribution Determination Date. For purposes of all distributions described in this Article VI, the determination date shall be the date of the actual distribution to the Participant or his Beneficiary, and the number of shares issued shall be equal to the vested non-monetary units credited to the Participant’s Accounts.

(d) to designate the persons eligible to become Participants;

(e) to determine all controversies relating to the administration of the Plan, including but not limited to:

(f) to delegate by written notice those clerical and recordation duties of the Committee, as it deems necessary or advisable for the proper and efficient administration of the Plan.

7.4 Committee Discretion. The Committee in exercising any power or authority granted under the Plan or in making any determination under the Plan shall perform or refrain from performing those acts using its sole discretion and judgment. Any decision made by the Committee or any refraining to act or any act taken by the Committee in good faith shall be final and binding on all parties and shall not be subject to de novo review.

ARTICLE VIII

ADOPTION BY SUBSIDIARIES

8.1 Procedure for and Status After Adoption. Any Subsidiary may, with the approval of the Committee, adopt the Plan by appropriate action of its board of directors. The terms of the Plan will apply separately to each Subsidiary adopting the Plan and its Participants in the same manner as is expressly provided for the Sponsor and its Participants except that the powers of the Board of Directors and the Committee under the Plan shall be exercised by the Board of Directors alone. The Sponsor and each Subsidiary that adopts the Plan shall bear the cost of providing plan benefits for its own Participants. It is intended that the obligation of the Sponsor and each Subsidiary with respect to its Participants shall be the sole obligation of the Company that is employing the Participant and shall not bind any other Company.

8.2 Termination of Participation By Adopting Subsidiary. Any Subsidiary that adopts the Plan may, by appropriate action of its board of directors, terminate its participation in the Plan. The Committee may, in its discretion, also terminate a Subsidiary’s participation in the Plan at any time. The termination of the participation in the Plan by a Subsidiary shall not, however, affect the rights of any Participant who is working or has worked for the Subsidiary as to amounts and/or units previously standing to his credit in his Accounts in the Foreign Deferred Compensation Ledger.

VIII-1

ARTICLE IX

AMENDMENT AND/OR TERMINATION

9.1 Amendment or Termination of the Plan. The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the Plan at any time by an instrument in writing without the consent of any adopting Company or any Participant.

9.2 No Retroactive Effect on Awarded Benefits. No amendment shall affect the rights of any Participant to the amounts and/or units then standing to his credit in his Accounts in the Foreign Deferred Compensation Ledger. However, the Board of Directors shall retain the right to change at any time and in any manner the method of calculating all Basic Benefits to be accrued in the future, and the gauge to be used to determine future increases or decreases in amounts accrued after the date of the amendment.

9.3 Effect of Termination. If the Plan is terminated, all amounts of Basic Benefits accrued by the Company and credited to a Participant’s Accounts shall immediately vest as if the Participant were entitled to and did retire on the date the Plan terminated. Distribution of Section 409A Exempt Amounts would then commence in accordance with Section 6.3. However, the forfeiture provisions of Section 6.7 would continue to apply until the actual date of distribution. Distribution of Section 409A Amounts shall not be accelerated pursuant to the termination of the Plan.

ARTICLE X

PAYMENT

10.1 Payments Under This Agreement Are the Obligation of the Company. The Company shall be liable for all benefits due the Participants under the Plan.

10.2 Participants Must Rely Only on General Credit of the Company. The Plan is only a general corporate commitment, and each Participant must rely upon the general credit of the Company and the Parent for the fulfillment of its obligations under the Plan. Under all circumstances, the rights of Participants to any asset held by the Company or the Parent shall be no greater than the rights expressed in this Agreement. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee by the Company or the Parent that the assets of the Company or the Parent will be sufficient to pay any benefits under the Plan or would place the Participant in a secured position ahead of general creditors and judgment creditors of the Company or the Parent.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Limitation of Rights. Nothing in the Plan will be construed:

(a) to give any employee of any Company any right to be designated a Participant in the Plan;

(b) to give a Participant any right with respect to the Basic Benefit accrued except in accordance with the terms of the Plan;

(d) to evidence any agreement or understanding, expressed or implied, that the Company will employ a Participant in any particular position or for any particular remuneration; or

(e) to give a Participant or any other person claiming through him any interest or right under the Plan other than that of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

11.2 Distribution to Minor or Incapacitated Person. If the Committee determines that any person to whom a payment is due is a minor or unable to care for his affairs because of physical or mental disability, it shall have the authority to cause his payments under the Plan to be made to his parent, legal guardian, spouse, brother, sister or other person whom the Committee determines. The Committee shall not be responsible to oversee the application of those payments. Payments made pursuant to this power shall be a complete discharge of all liability under the Plan and the obligations of the Company and the Committee.

11.3 Nonalienation of Benefits. No right or benefit provided in the Plan shall be transferable by the Participant except, upon his death, to a named Beneficiary as provided in the Plan. No right or benefit under the Plan shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale,

XI-1

assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber, or charge the same shall be void. No right or benefit under the Plan shall in any manner be liable for or subject to any debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled to such benefits. If any Participant or any Beneficiary becomes bankrupt or attempts to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any right or benefit under the Plan, that right or benefit shall, in the discretion of the Committee, cease. In that event, the Committee may have the Company hold or apply the right or benefit or any part of it to the benefit of the Participant or Beneficiary, his or her spouse, children or other dependents or any of them in any manner and in any proportion the Committee believes to be proper in its sole and absolute discretion, but is not required to do so.

11.4 Reliance Upon Information. The Committee shall not be liable for any decision or action taken in good faith in connection with the administration of the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any decision or action taken by the Committee when it relies upon information supplied it by any officer of the Company, the Company’s legal counsel, the Company’s independent accountants or other advisors in connection with the administration of the Plan shall be deemed to have been taken in good faith.

11.5 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of the Plan is held to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, the rest of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

11.6 Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee or a Participant shall be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered or sent by mail (postage prepaid) to the principal office of the Company or to the residential mailing address of the

XI-2

Participant. Notice shall be deemed to be given as of the date of hand delivery or if delivery is by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark.

11.7 Gender and Number. If the context requires it, words of one gender when used in the Plan will include the other genders, and words used in the singular or plural will include the other.

11.8 Compliance with Section 409A. Except with respect to Section 409A Exempt Amounts, the Plan shall be operated in compliance with Section 409A and the provisions of the Plan shall be construed in accordance with Section 409A. Except with respect to Section 000X Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, the terms of this Agreement reflect the manner in which the Plan has been operated in good faith compliance with Section 409A since January 1, 2005.
