Baker Hughes Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the &#147;<I>Company</I>&#148;), hereby
grants to you, the above-named grantee, a performance award which shall entitle
you to receive shares of the Company&#146;s Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share
(the &#147;<I>Common Stock</I>&#148;), pursuant to the Baker Hughes Incorporated 2002 Director &#038;
Officer Long-Term Incentive Plan (the &#147;<I>Plan</I>&#148;), on the following terms and
conditions:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under this Performance Award Agreement (this &#147;<I>Agreement</I>&#148;), you will have
an opportunity to earn shares of Common Stock based upon the Company&#146;s total
shareholder return for the Performance Period (as that term is defined below)
as compared with the total shareholder returns of the companies whose
securities comprised the Morgan Stanley Oil Services Index traded on the
Chicago Board Options Exchange on December&nbsp;31, 2003 (the &#147;<I>Oil Services Index
Companies</I>&#148;).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If (a)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s total shareholder return for the three-year period
ending December&nbsp;31, 2006 (the &#147;<I>Performance Period</I>&#148;), equals or exceeds the
median of the total shareholder returns of the Oil Services Index Companies for
the Performance Period, (b)&nbsp;a Change in Control of the Company has not occurred
on or before December&nbsp;31, 2006, and (c)&nbsp;you remain in the active employ of the
Company and/or one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company through the
last day of the Performance Period, then the Company shall issue to you that
number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x)&nbsp;the number of shares of Common
Stock set forth above as the &#147;<I>Number of Target Shares</I>&#148; for your performance
award, multiplied by (y)&nbsp;the applicable &#147;<I>Percentage Target Earned</I>&#148; factor
specified in the table below.
