Baker Hughes, a GE company ROIC Performance Share Unit Award Agreement For [●] (“Participant”)
1.Capitalized Terms. Each capitalized term used but not defined in this Award Agreement (including Appendix A) shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Baker Hughes, a GE company 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
2. Grant. The Committee of Baker Hughes, a GE company (the “Company”) has granted Performance Share Units, from time to time with Dividend Equivalents as the Committee may determine (“PSUs”), to the individual named in this Award Agreement (the “Participant”) on [●] (the “Grant Date”). Each PSU entitles the Participant to receive from the Company one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Share”), for which the restrictions set forth in paragraph 4 lapse in accordance with the terms of this Award Agreement, the Plan, any country specific addendums and any rules and procedures adopted by the Committee. The target number of PSUs reflected in the Participant’s Plan account maintained by Fidelity Stock Plan Services (the “Target PSUs”) is the number of PSUs that the Participant may earn if the Performance Condition is satisfied at the target level. The actual number of PSUs that the Participant may earn may be less than or more than the Target PSUs, depending upon actual performance, as specified in paragraph 4.
3. Dividend Equivalents. Until such time as the restrictions lapse or the PSUs are cancelled, whichever occurs first, the Company may establish an amount to be paid to the Participant equal to the number of PSUs subject to restriction times the per Share quarterly dividend payments made to stockholders of the Company’s Shares (“Dividend Equivalent”). The Company will accumulate Dividend Equivalents and will pay the Participant a cash amount equal to the Dividend Equivalents accumulated and unpaid as of the date that the restrictions lapse (without interest) reasonably promptly after such date, and in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the End Date occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any accumulated and unpaid Dividend Equivalents attributable to PSUs that are cancelled will not be paid and are immediately forfeited upon cancellation of the PSUs. The determination regarding the form and type of dividend equivalents will be made by the Committee at the time of grant.
4. Lapse of Restrictions. Restrictions on the PSUs will lapse to the extent that both the Service Condition and the Performance Condition are satisfied, based on the Committee Certification. Subject to paragraphs 5 and 6, the “Service Condition” will be satisfied with respect to the PSUs only if the Participant has been continuously employed by the Company or one of its Affiliates through the End Date, and the “Performance Condition” will be satisfied with respect to between 0% and 150% of the Target PSUs based on the sum of the attainment of Relative Absolute Change ROIC and Relative Cumulative Average ROIC in accordance with Appendix A. After the end of the Performance Period and prior to the issuance or delivery of any Shares pursuant to paragraph 7, the Committee shall certify the extent, if any, to which the Performance Condition was achieved.

(b)“Annual ROIC” of the Company or a Peer for a calendar year or fiscal year, as applicable, means the quotient obtained by dividing the adjusted net income of the Company or such Peer for such year by the Invested Capital of the Company or such Peer for such year.
(c)“Cumulative Average ROIC” means the sum of the Annual ROIC of the Company or a Peer for each calendar year or fiscal year, as applicable, in the Performance Period, divided by 3.
(d)“End Date” means December 31, [●].
(e)“Invested Capital” means the sum of (i) accounts receivable, (ii) inventory, (iii) property, plant and equipment, (iv) accounts payable, (v) goodwill, (vi) intangibles and (vii) progress collections, each as recorded on the balance sheet of the Company or a Peer, as applicable.

(h)“Relative Absolute Change ROIC” means the percentile ranking of the Absolute Change ROIC of the Company in relation to the Absolute Change ROIC of each of the Peers, as calculated by the Committee in good faith applying a reasonable statistical method.
(i) “Relative Cumulative Average ROIC” means the percentile ranking of the Cumulative Average ROIC of the Company in relation to the Cumulative Average ROIC of each of the Peers, as calculated by the Committee in good faith applying a reasonable statistical method.

Exhibit 10.27
(a)Relative Absolute Change ROIC and Relative Cumulative Average ROIC will each be measured independently against the Peers. The average of those results will determine the final Performance Condition attainment. The following table sets forth the percentage of the PSUs for which the Performance Condition will be deemed satisfied based on the attainment of Relative Absolute Change ROIC and Relative Cumulative Average ROIC indicated in the corresponding row of the table:
Relative Absolute Change ROIC / Relative Cumulative Average ROIC (Percentile v. Peers) | Performance Condition Attainment for Relative Absolute Change ROIC / Relative Cumulative Average ROIC | Total Performance Condition Attainment (Average of Relative Absolute Change ROIC Attainment and Relative Cumulative Average ROIC Attainment) |
≥ 75 | 150% | 150% |
50 | 100% | 100% |
25 | 50% | 50% |
0 – 24.9 | 0% | 0% |
(b)If Relative Absolute Change ROIC or Relative Cumulative Average ROIC exceeds the 25th percentile and is less than the 50th percentile, or if Relative Absolute Change ROIC or Relative Cumulative Average ROIC exceeds the 50th percentile and is less than the 75th percentile, the percentage of the PSUs for which the Performance Condition will be deemed satisfied will be subject to straight-line interpolation between the applicable corresponding percentages set forth in the table. For purposes of illustration only, if Relative Absolute Change ROIC is attained at the 35th percentile, resulting in 70% performance attainment, and Relative Cumulative Average ROIC is attained at the 20th percentile, resulting in 0% performance attainment, the percentage of the PSUs for which the Performance Condition will be deemed satisfied will equal 35% (i.e., the average of 70% and 0%).
