STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

The Committee is authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Employees on the following terms and conditions:

a) Right to Payment

A Stock Appreciation Right shall confer on the Participant to whom it is granted, upon exercise thereof, a right to receive cash equal to the excess of (i) the FMV Per Share on the date of exercise over (ii) the FMV Per Share on the date of grant (such excess, the “Spread”) with respect to a specified number of LeTourneau Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may provide, in its sole discretion, that the Spread covered by a Stock Appreciation Right may not exceed a specified amount and that the Spread may be paid in LeTourneau Shares. Unless an Award provides otherwise, or the Committee determines otherwise, a vested Stock Appreciation Right may not be exercised by any Participant until a Change in Control has occurred, and such rights to exercise shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as determined by the Committee.

b) Terms

. The Committee shall determine at the date of grant the time or times at which and the circumstances under which a Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised in whole or in part (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), the method of exercise, whether or not a Stock Appreciation Right shall be in tandem or in combination with any other Award and any other terms and conditions of any Stock Appreciation Right.

c) Repricing

. Except as provided in Section 1.3(b), the Committee may grant to holders of outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights, in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of such Stock Appreciation Rights, cash or other Awards, new Stock Appreciation Rights having exercise prices lower (or higher with any required consent) than the exercise price provided in the Stock Appreciation Rights so surrendered and canceled and containing such other terms and conditions as the Committee may deem appropriate.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock Units to Employees, which are rights to receive the Fair Market Value of a specified number of LeTourneau Shares in cash (or in the discretion of the Committee, in LeTourneau Shares) subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine.

a) Award and Restrictions

. Satisfaction of a Restricted Stock Unit shall occur upon expiration of the Restricted Period and such other terms as specified for such Restricted Stock Units by the Committee. In addition, Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions (which may include a risk of forfeiture), if any, as the Committee may impose in its sole discretion, which restrictions may lapse at the expiration of the Restricted Period or at other specified times (including times based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), separately or in combination, as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion to be appropriate or advisable for any Award. Unless an Award provides otherwise, or the Committee determines otherwise, a Restricted Stock Unit shall not be settled until a Change in Control has occurred and such settlement shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as determined by the Committee.

b) Forfeiture

. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee or as may be set forth in any Award or other agreement pertaining to a Restricted Stock Unit, upon termination of Employment during the applicable Restricted Period or portion thereof to which forfeiture conditions apply, all Restricted Stock Units that are at that time subject to forfeiture shall be forfeited; provided, however, that the Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock Units shall be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Committee may in other cases which it determines appropriate or advisable waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units.

c) Performance Goals

. The grant or settlement of the Award may, in the Committee’s discretion, be subject to the achievement of performance goals.

CASH AWARDS

The Committee is hereby authorized to grant to Employees, Cash Awards, which shall consist of a right which (a) is not an Award described in any other Article of the Plan and (b) is denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, cash as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of any such Cash Awards, which shall be contained in the documentation covering such Awards.

CERTAIN PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL AWARDS

a) Vesting and Other General Provisions»

. Awards shall be evidenced by such documentation as determined by the Committee and may be granted on the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Committee may impose on any Award or the exercise thereof, such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine, including any terms requiring forfeiture of Awards in the event of termination of Employment by the Participant and terms permitting a Participant to make elections relating to his Award. The terms, conditions and/or restrictions contained in an Award may differ from the terms, conditions and restrictions contained in any other Award. The Committee may amend an Award; provided, however, that, subject to Section 5.10, no amendment of an Award may, without the consent of the holder of the Award, adversely affect such person’s rights with respect to such Award in any material respect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may amend any Award without the consent of the holder if the Committee deems it necessary to avoid adverse tax consequences to the holder. The Committee shall retain full power and discretion to accelerate or waive, at any time, any term or condition of an Award that is not mandatory under the Plan; provided, however, that, subject to Section 5.10, the Committee shall not have discretion to accelerate or waive any term or condition of an Award if such discretion would cause the Award to have adverse tax consequences to the Participant. Except in cases in which the Committee is authorized to require other forms of consideration under the Plan, or to the extent other forms of consideration must be paid to satisfy the requirements of the law, no consideration other than services may be required for the grant of any Award.

b) Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem and Substitute Awards»

. Subject to the Plan limitations on repricing of Stock Appreciation Rights, Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution or exchange for, any other Award or any award granted under another plan of LeTourneau, any Affiliate or any business entity to be acquired by LeTourneau or an Affiliate, or any other right of a Participant to receive payment from LeTourneau or any Affiliate. Such additional, tandem and substitute or exchange Awards may be granted at any time. If an Award is granted in substitution or exchange for another Award, the Committee shall require the surrender of such other Award for cancellation in consideration for the grant of the new Award. In addition, Awards may be granted in lieu of cash compensation, including in lieu of cash amounts payable under other plans of LeTourneau or any Affiliate. Any such action contemplated under this Section 5.2 shall be effective only to the extent that such action will not cause the holder of the Award to lose the protection of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

c) Term of Awards»

. The term of each Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that in no event shall the term of any such Award exceed a period of 10 years.

d) Form and Timing of Payment under Awards; Plan Status; Plan Liability»

. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award, payments to be made by LeTourneau upon the exercise of an Award or settlement of an Award may be made in a single payment or transfer or in installments. The settlement of any Award may, subject to any limitations set forth in the Award, be accelerated and cash paid in lieu of LeTourneau Shares in connection with such settlement, in the discretion of the Committee or upon occurrence of one or more specified events; provided, however, that the Committee shall not accelerate settlement if such discretion would result in adverse tax consequences to the Participant. In the discretion of the Committee, Awards may be payable in cash or LeTourneau Shares to the extent permitted by the terms of the applicable Award and the Plan. The Plan shall not constitute an “employee benefit plan” for purposes of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. LeTourneau is liable for payment and satisfaction of all Awards hereunder; Rowan has no liability with respect thereto.

e) Vested and Unvested Awards»

. After the satisfaction of all of the terms and conditions set by the Committee with respect to an Award granted to a Participant pursuant to the Plan, cash shall be delivered to such Participant or if so determined by the Committee, LeTourneau Shares. If applicable, the number of LeTourneau Shares which shall be issuable upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by dividing (1) by (2) where (1) is the number of LeTourneau Shares as to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised multiplied by the Spread, and (2) is the FMV Per Share of LeTourneau Shares on the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right. Upon termination, resignation or removal of a Participant under circumstances that do not cause such Participant to become fully vested, any remaining unvested Awards shall either be forfeited to LeTourneau or, if appropriate under the terms of the Award, shall continue to be subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions set by the Committee with respect to such Award.

f) Securities Requirements»

. No LeTourneau Shares will be issued or transferred pursuant to an Award unless and until all then-applicable requirements imposed by applicable securities and other laws, rules and regulations and by any regulatory agencies having jurisdiction and by any stock market or exchange upon which the LeTourneau Shares may be listed, have been fully met. As a condition precedent to the issuance of shares pursuant to the grant or exercise of an Award, LeTourneau may require the grantee to take any reasonable action to meet such requirements. LeTourneau shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the issuance or transfer of shares pursuant to an Award to comply with any law or regulation described in the second preceding sentence.

g) Transferability»

(a) Transfer of Awards. Except as may be otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award or otherwise, no Award and no right under the Plan, contingent or otherwise, will be (i) assignable, saleable or otherwise transferable by a Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order or (ii) subject to any encumbrance, pledge or charge of any nature. No transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to bind Rowan unless the Committee shall have been furnished with a copy of the deceased Participant’s will or such other evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer. Any attempted transfer in violation of this Section 5.7(a) shall be void and ineffective for all purposes.

(b) Ability to Exercise Rights. Except as otherwise specifically provided under the Plan, only the Participant or his guardian (if the Participant becomes disabled), or in the event of his death, his legal representative or beneficiary, may exercise Awards, receive cash payments and deliveries of shares or otherwise exercise rights under the Plan. The legal representative of the Participant’s estate, or the person or persons to whom the Participant’s rights under any Award will pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution, shall be deemed to be the Participant’s beneficiary or beneficiaries of the rights of the Participant hereunder and shall be entitled to exercise such rights as are provided hereunder.

h) Rights as a Stockholder»

. A Participant who has received a grant of an Award or a transferee of such Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any LeTourneau Shares until such person becomes the holder of record. Except as may be otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award or otherwise, no adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such LeTourneau shares are issued.

i) Listing and Registration of LeTourneau Shares»

. LeTourneau, in its discretion, may postpone the issuance and/or delivery of LeTourneau Shares upon any exercise of an Award until completion of such stock exchange listing, registration or other qualification of such shares under any applicable law, rule or regulation as LeTourneau may consider appropriate, and may require any Participant to make such representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of the shares in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

j) Change in Control»

(a) Change in Control. Unless otherwise provided in the Award and as permitted under Code Section 409A, if applicable:

(i) in the event of a Change in Control described in subsection (e) of the definition of Change in Control in Section 1.2, the Committee may accelerate vesting and waive all restrictions and conditions for Restricted Stock Units, however the Committee may not accelerate vesting for Stock Appreciation Rights; and

(ii) in the event of a Change in Control other than as described in subsection (e) of the definition of Change in Control in Section 1.2, the Committee may accelerate vesting and waive all restrictions and conditions for Restricted Stock Units and the Committee may accelerate vesting and the time at which all Stock Appreciation Rights then outstanding may be exercised so that those Awards may be exercised in full for a limited period of time on or before a specified date fixed by the Committee, after which specified date all unexercised Stock Appreciation Rights and all rights of Participants thereunder shall terminate, or the Committee may accelerate vesting and the time at which Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised so that those types of Awards may be exercised in full for their then remaining term.

Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 5.10(a), the Committee shall not be required to take any action described in the preceding provisions of this Section 5.10(a), and any decision made by the Committee, in its sole discretion, not to take some or all of the actions described in the preceding provisions of this Section 5.10(a) shall be final, binding and conclusive with respect to LeTourneau, all Participants and all other interested persons.

(b) Right of Cash-Out. If approved by the Board prior to or within a specified period after such time as a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred, the Board shall have the right for a specified period immediately following the date that the Change in Control is deemed to have occurred to require all, but not less than all, Participants to transfer and deliver to LeTourneau all Awards previously granted to the Participants in exchange for an amount equal to the “cash value” (defined below) of the Awards. Such right shall be exercised by written notice to all Participants. For purposes of this Section 5.10(b), the “cash value” of an Award shall equal the sum of all cash to which the Participant would be entitled upon settlement or exercise of any Award, as if such settlement or exercise occurred immediately prior to the Change in Control. The amount payable to each Participant pursuant to this Section 5.10(b) shall be paid in cash or by check and shall be reduced by any taxes required to be withheld. No acceleration of payment under this Section 5.10(b) shall be made in the event it would result in adverse tax consequences to the Participant under Code Section 409A.

WITHHOLDING FOR TAXES

Any issuance of LeTourneau Shares in payment of any Award under the Plan shall not be made until appropriate arrangements satisfactory to LeTourneau have been made for the payment of any tax amounts (international, federal, state, local or other) that may be required to be withheld or paid by LeTourneau with respect thereto. Such arrangements may, at the discretion of the Committee, include allowing the person to tender to LeTourneau, LeTourneau Shares owned by the person, or to request LeTourneau to withhold LeTourneau Shares being acquired pursuant to the Award, which have an aggregate FMV Per Share as of the date of such withholding that is not greater than the sum of all tax amounts to be withheld with respect thereto at the minimum statutory rate, together with payment of any remaining portion of such tax amounts in cash or by check payable and acceptable to LeTourneau.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the date of an event giving rise to a tax withholding obligation on the part of LeTourneau, the person is an officer or individual subject to Rule 16b-3, such person may direct that such tax withholding be effectuated by LeTourneau withholding the necessary number of LeTourneau Shares (at the minimum statutory tax rate) from such Award payment or exercise.

MISCELLANEOUS

. No Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award; there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards; and the terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.

. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the terms of the Plan and an Award, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of LeTourneau or any Affiliate. Further, LeTourneau or any Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award.

. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with applicable federal law and the laws of the state of Texas, without regard to any principles of conflicts of law.

. Whenever the context requires such, words of the masculine gender used herein shall include the feminine and neuter, and words used in the singular shall include the plural. Section headings as used herein are inserted solely for convenience and reference and constitute no part of the Plan.

. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Participant or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended as necessary to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Participant or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

. The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any shares or other consideration under an Award if, acting in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such shares or such other consideration might violate any applicable law.

. The Committee may condition the grant, exercise or payment of any Award upon such person entering into a stockholders’ or repurchase agreement in such form as approved from time to time by the Board.

. No provision of the Plan shall require or permit LeTourneau, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall LeTourneau maintain separate bank accounts, books, records or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall have no rights under the Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of LeTourneau, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other Employees under general law.

. None of the Board, Rowan, LeTourneau or the Committee makes any commitment or guarantee that any federal, state or local tax treatment will apply or be available to any person participating or eligible to participate hereunder.

. The Awards are intended to comply with or be exempt from Code Section 409A and the provisions of the Award notice will be construed accordingly. If a provision of an Award would result in the imposition of an applicable tax under Code Section 409A, such provision shall be reformed to avoid imposition of the applicable tax if permissible and no such action taken to comply with Code Section 409A shall be deemed to adversely affect the rights or benefits under such Award.

If an Award is intended to comply with Code Section 409A, all payments to be made upon a termination of employment under such Award may only be made upon a “separation from service” under Code Section 409A. For purposes of Code Section 409A, each payment under an Award is treated as a separate payment for purposes of applying Code Section 409A. In no event may the Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment.

If the Participant is deemed to be a “Specified Employee” as of the date of his “Separation from Service” (each as defined in Code Section 409A) as determined by LeTourneau, the payment of any amount under an Award on account of Separation from Service that is deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A and not otherwise exempt from Code Section 409A, shall not be paid before the earliest of (i) the first business day that is at least six months after the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, (ii) the date of the Participant’s death, or (iii) the date that otherwise complies with the requirements of Code Section 409A. This provision shall be applied by accumulating all payments that otherwise would have been paid within six months of the Participant’s Separation from Service and paying such accumulated amounts, without interest, at the earliest date as described in the preceding sentence and any remaining payments due under such Award shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified therein.

. All disputes with respect to an Award or the Plan not otherwise settled by LeTourneau and a Participant (the “Parties”) shall be finally and conclusively resolved through arbitration, instead of through trial before a court. The Parties forgo any right either may have to a jury trial on claims relating in any way to any such dispute. Arbitration shall be the exclusive, final and binding method by which disputes are resolved.

Each of the Parties shall submit a strike list of at least five arbitrator candidates to the other Party. Within 10 calendar days of transmittal of the strike list, each Party may strike any names objected to, number the remaining names, if any, in order of preference, and return the list. From the persons who have been approved by all Parties, and in accordance with the order of mutual preference, the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) shall invite the arbitrator to serve. If all the arbitrators are struck by the Parties, each Party shall provide a second list of at least five arbitrator candidates. Within 10 calendar days of transmittal of the second strike list, each Party may strike two names, and shall rank the remaining candidates in order of preference. If there is more than one candidate remaining after the Parties strike, the candidate with the highest total ranking by the Parties will become the arbitrator. Any ties will be resolved in the favor of the Participant. If a Party does not return the list within the time specified, all candidates shall be deemed acceptable to that Party, and the strike list of the other Party shall be utilized.

No person shall serve as an arbitrator unless he or she is a licensed attorney. No person shall serve as an arbitrator in any matter in which that person has any financial or personal interest. Prior to accepting appointment, the prospective arbitrator shall disclose any circumstance likely to prevent a prompt hearing or create a presumption of bias. If, based on the disclosures made by the prospective arbitrator, either Party objects to the appointment of the arbitrator, the objecting Party must communicate the basis for the objection to AAA and the opposing Party. The non-objecting party may then submit a response. Thereafter, based on the comments submitted by both Parties, AAA may disqualify that person, and its decision shall be conclusive.

The arbitrator shall set the date, time and place of any hearing. Notice of any hearing shall be given at least 10 calendar days in advance, unless the arbitrator determines or the Parties agree that a shorter time is necessary. When determining the location of any hearing, the arbitrator shall select the location, if any, agreed upon by the Parties. If the Parties do not agree on a location, the arbitrator shall select the proposed location bearing the most substantial relationship to the dispute. At the request of AAA or of a Party or on the initiative of the arbitrator, the arbitrator or AAA may notice and hold conferences for the discussion and determination of any matter which will expedite the proceeding. In the discretion of the arbitrator or by agreement of the Parties, conferences and hearings may be conducted by telephone or by written submission, as well as in person.

There shall be no stenographic, audio, or video record of the proceedings unless either requested by one of the Parties or specified by the arbitrator. The Party requesting the record shall bear the entire cost of producing the same, unless the arbitrator, in his/her discretion, based on financial condition, requirement of law, or other good cause, orders otherwise. Copies of the record shall be furnished to all other Parties upon request and upon payment of the cost of reproduction.

The arbitrator shall be the sole judge of the relevancy, materiality, and admissibility of evidence offered. Strict conformity to legal rules of evidence shall not be necessary. However, the arbitrator should be guided by the Federal Rules of Evidence.

The award shall be promptly made by the arbitrator, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties or specified by applicable law, no later than 30 calendar days from the date of the closing of the proceeding or, if applicable, the closing of a reopened proceeding.

All costs, expenses and attorney’s fees shall be borne by the Party incurring them except as otherwise provided by law or in the award of the arbitrator.

Proceedings hereunder and any judicial review of awards shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.
