STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR
RESTRICTED STOCK

These Standard Terms and Conditions apply to any Award of restricted Common Shares (the “Restricted Shares”) granted to an employee of the Company under the Dresser-Rand Group Inc. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), on or after January 1, 2010, which are evidenced by a Grant Notice or an action of the Committee that specifically refers to these Standard Terms and Conditions.

1.		TERMS OF RESTRICTED SHARES
		Dresser-Rand Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) has granted to the Grantee named in the Grant Notice provided to said Grantee herewith (the “Grant Notice”) an award of a number of Restricted Shares (the “Award”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share specified in the Grant Notice. The Award is the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, these Standard Terms and Conditions, and the Plan, each as amended from time to time. For purposes of these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Grant Notice, any reference to the Company shall, unless the context requires otherwise, include a reference to any Affiliate, as such term is defined in the Plan. Capitalized terms not defined in this document have the meaning given to them in Plan or Grant Notice.
2.		VESTING OF RESTRICTED STOCK
		The Restricted Shares are subject to forfeiture and may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise directly or indirectly encumbered or disposed of (collectively, “Transferred”) until the expiration of a “Period of Restriction” specified in the Grant Notice. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Period of Restriction shall expire on each of the dates set forth in the Grant Notice as long as the Grantee remains an employee of the Company or other service provider to the Company on the applicable vesting date.
		Notwithstanding anything contained in these Standard Terms and Conditions to the contrary, (i) if the Grantee’s employment terminates by reason of death or Disability during the Period of Restriction, a pro rata portion of the Restricted Shares subject to the next vesting date shall become nonforfeitable, and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the remaining Restricted Shares shall be forfeited as of the date of such termination, (ii) subject to Section 8, if the Grantee’s employment terminates due to the Grantee’s Retirement (as defined in Section 16.F below), the Restricted Shares shall continue to vest and become nonforfeitable under the schedule described in the Grant Notice, and (iii) if the Grantee’s employment terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement, any Restricted Shares held by the Grantee for which the Period of Restriction has not then expired shall be forfeited as of the date of such termination. For purposes of this Section 2, “pro-rata portion” means a

percentage, where the numerator is the number of days between (a) the later of the grant date or last vesting date and (b) the Grantee’s termination, and the denominator is the number of days between (y) the later of the grant date or the last vesting date and (z) the final vesting date.

3.		RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER/LEGEND
		The Grantee shall have the right to vote the Restricted Shares, but shall otherwise enjoy none of the rights of a stockholder (including the right to receive dividends or equivalent payments) during the Period of Restriction.
		The Restricted Shares shall be registered in the Grantee’s name on the Grant Date through a book entry credit in the records of the Company’s transfer agent, but shall be recorded as restricted non-dividend paying shares of Common Shares until the expiration of the Period of Restriction. Upon the expiration of the Period of Restriction with respect to any Restricted Shares, the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to record such shares as unrestricted. In the event any stock certificates are issued in respect of the Restricted Shares during the Period of Restriction, such certificates shall bear a restrictive legend determined by the Committee until the expiration of the Period of Restriction with respect to such shares.
4.		CHANGE IN CONTROL
		Unless otherwise provided in an employment, severance or other agreement between the Company and the Grantee, the Committee shall determine the effect of a Change in Control on the Restricted Shares. Without limitation, the Committee may provide for the acceleration of vesting of, or the lapse of transfer or other similar restrictions on, any unvested Restricted Shares or for the assumption or substitution of Restricted Shares by the Grantee’s employer (or the parent or an Affiliate of such employer) or other service recipient that engages the Grantee immediately following the Change in Control.
5.		RESTRICTIONS ON RESALES OF SHARES
		The Company may impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by the Grantee or other subsequent transfers by the Grantee of any Restricted Shares, including without limitation (a) restrictions under an insider trading policy, (b) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by the Grantee and other holders and (c) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers.
6.		INCOME TAXES
		The Company shall not instruct the transfer agent to remove the restrictions applicable to any Restricted Shares at the expiration of the Period of Restriction unless and until the Grantee has made arrangements satisfactory to the Committee

to satisfy applicable withholding tax obligations. Unless otherwise permitted by the Committee, withholding shall be effected by withholding Common Shares that vest on the applicable vesting date. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company shall have the right to deduct any taxes required to be withheld by law in connection with the vesting of the Restricted Shares from any amounts payable by it to the Grantee (including, without limitation, future cash wages).

7.		NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARD
		The Grantee represents and warrants that the Restricted Shares are being acquired by the Grantee solely for the Grantee’s own account for investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof. The Grantee further understands, acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, prior to their vesting, the Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise directly or indirectly encumbered or disposed of except to the extent expressly permitted hereby and at all times in compliance with the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission thereunder, and in compliance with applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and non-U.S. securities laws. Unless permitted by the Committee, prior to their vesting, the Restricted Shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated by the Grantee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
8.		RESTRICTED ACTIVITIES

A.

By accepting the Restricted Shares, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Company is engaged in a highly competitive business; (ii) the Company has expended considerable time and resources to develop goodwill with its customers, vendors, and others, and to create, protect, and exploit its Confidential Information (as defined in Section 16.B below); (iii) the Company must continue to prevent the dilution of its goodwill and unauthorized use or disclosure of its Confidential Information to avoid irreparable harm to its legitimate business interests; (iv) the Grantee’s participation in or direction of the Company’s day-to-day operations and strategic planning are an integral part of the Company’s continued success and goodwill; (v) in the period between the Grantee’s notice to the Committee of the Grantee’s Retirement and the date of the Grantee’s Retirement (the “Transition Period”), the Grantee will participate in identifying a successor, transitioning his or her responsibilities to and training a successor, and engaging in other transition activities (the “Transition Process”); (vi) given the Grantee’s position and responsibilities, including during the Transition Period, he or she necessarily will be relying on and/or creating Confidential Information that belongs to the Company and enhances the Company’s goodwill; during the Transition Process will be transmitting Confidential Information to his or her successor; and in carrying out his or her responsibilities, including during the Transition Process, the Grantee in

turn will be relying on the Company’s goodwill and the disclosure by the Company to him or her of Confidential Information; (vii) the Grantee will have access to Confidential Information, including concerning the Transition Process, that could be used by any competitor of the Company in a manner that would irreparably harm the Company’s competitive position in the marketplace and dilute its goodwill; (viii) the Grantee’s engaging in any of the Restricted Activities during the Restriction Period would result in the inevitable disclosure or use of Confidential Information for the Competitor’s benefit or to the detriment of the Company; (ix) the Grantee will return to the Company upon Retirement all the Confidential Information, in whatever form or media and all copies thereof, in his or her possession, custody, or control; (x) by giving advance notice of his or her Retirement, the Grantee represents that he or she will not engage in the Restricted Activities; (xi) the Company is relying on such representation in providing the Grantee continuing access to Confidential Information and authorizing him or her to engage in the Transition Process and other activities that will create new and additional Confidential Information during the Transition Period; and (xi) absent the Grantee’s agreement to this Section 8, the Company would not authorize the Grantee to participate in the Transition Process and engage in other activities that provide access to or create new and additional Confidential Information in an unfettered fashion; and would not provide for the continued vesting of the Restricted Shares upon Retirement as provided for in Section 2.

	B.		The Company, by granting the Restricted Shares, and the Grantee, by accepting the Restricted Shares, thus acknowledge and agree that during the remaining term of the Grantee’s employment with the Company, including the Transition Period, the Grantee (i) will receive Confidential Information that is unique, proprietary, and valuable to the Company; (ii) will rely on and/or create Confidential Information that is unique, proprietary, and valuable to the Company; and (iii) will benefit, including without limitation by way of increased earnings and earning capacity, from the goodwill the Company has generated and from the Confidential Information.
	C.		Accordingly, in consideration of the promises of the Company set out in Section 8.B, the Restricted Shares, and the extended vesting of the Restricted Shares upon Retirement as provided for in Section 2, the Grantee agrees that:

	1.		He or she will not engage in any of the Restricted Activities (as defined in Section 16.D below) during the Restriction Period (as defined in Section 16.E below);
	2.		If he or she engages in, or threatens to engage in, any of the Restricted Activities during the Restriction Period or otherwise violates his or her obligations under this Section 8, then (x) the

Restricted Shares held by the Grantee shall immediately be forfeited and canceled (regardless of whether then vested or unvested) and (y) with respect to any Restricted Shares that have been Transferred, the Grantee shall, at the Company’s option, immediately pay to the Company the fair market value of the Restricted Shares at the time of vesting;

	3.		If he or she engages in, or threatens to engage in, any of the Restricted Activities during the Restriction Period or otherwise violates his or her obligations under this Section 8, the Company would not have an adequate remedy at law and would be irreparably harmed and, accordingly, that the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief, including preliminary and permanent injunctions and specific performance, in the event the Grantee engages or threatens to engage in any of the Restricted Activities during the Restriction Period or otherwise violates his or her obligations under this Section 8, without the necessity of posting any bond or proving special damages or irreparable injury; and
	4.		Neither Section 8.C.2 nor Section 8.C.3 constitute the Company’s exclusive remedy for a breach or threatened breach of the Grantee’s obligations under this Section 8, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available to the Company at law or equity.

D.

By accepting the Restricted Shares, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that (i) the restrictions contained in this Section 8 are ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement, including without limitation the mutual promises and undertakings set out in Section 8.A and B, the Restricted Shares, and the continued vesting of the Restricted Shares upon Retirement as provided for in Section 2; (ii) the Company’s promises and undertakings set out in these Standard Terms and Conditions, and in particular Section 8.B, the Grant Notice, and the Plan, and the Grantee’s position and responsibilities with the Company and his or her promises and undertakings set out in Section 8.A, give rise to the Company’s interest in restricting the Grantee’s post-Retirement activities; (iii) such restrictions are designed to enforce the Grantee’s promises and undertakings set out in Section 8.A and his or her common-law obligations and duties owed to the Company; (iv) the restrictions are reasonable and necessary, are valid and enforceable, and do not impose a greater restraint than necessary to protect the Company’s goodwill, Confidential Information, and other legitimate business interests; (v) he or she will immediately notify the Company in writing should he or she believe or be advised that the provisions of this Section 8 are not, or likely are not, valid and enforceable; (vi) he or she will not challenge the enforceability of this Section 8; (vii) absent the Grantee’s agreement to this Section 8, the Company would not authorize the Grantee to participate in the Transition Process and engage in other activities that provide acces to or create new

and additional Confidential Information in an unfettered fashion; and would not provide for the continued vesting of the Restricted Shares upon Retirement as provided for in Section 2.

E.

The provisions of Section 2 providing for the continued vesting of the Restricted Shares upon Retirement and this Section 8 are mutually dependent and not severable, and the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company would not provide for the continued vesting of the Restricted Shares upon Retirement as provided for in Section 2 but for the Grantee’s promises set out in and the enforceability of this Section 8. Accordingly, if Section 8 or any part of it is ever declared to be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the Grantee agrees that (x) the Restricted Shares held by the Grantee shall immediately be forfeited and canceled (regardless of whether then vested or unvested) and (y) with respect to any Restricted Shares that have been Transferred, the Grantee shall, at the Company’s option, immediately pay to the Company the fair market value of the Restricted Shares at the time of vesting; provided that if the scope of the restrictions in this Section 8 as to time, geography, or scope of activities are deemed by court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the limitations permitted by applicable law, the Grantee and the Company agree that the restrictions so deemed shall be, and are, automatically reformed to the maximum limitation permitted by such law.
