16. | Compliance with Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Stock pursuant to any Option, at any time, if the offering of the shares of Stock covered by such Option, or the exercise of an Option by an Employee, violates or is not in compliance with any laws, rules or regulations of the United States or any state or country. Employee agrees to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries and affiliated companies, as may be required to allow the Company and any of its Subsidiaries and affiliated companies to comply with local laws, rules and/or regulations in Employee’s country of employment (and country of residence, if different). Finally, Employee agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with Employee’s personal obligations under local laws, rules and/or regulations in Employee’s country of employment and country of residence, if different). |

20. | Governing Law and Forum. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas without regard to principles of conflict of laws, except to the extent that it implicates matters which are the subject of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which matters shall be governed by the latter law. For purposes of resolving any dispute that may arise directly or indirectly from this Agreement, the parties hereby agree that any such dispute that cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted for resolution through the Halliburton Dispute Resolution Program, pursuant to which the last step is final and binding arbitration. |
21. | Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more of the provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Agreement shall be reformed and construed so that it would be enforceable to the maximum extent legally possible, and if it cannot be so reformed and construed, as if such unenforceable provision, or part thereof, had never been contained herein. |
22. | Waiver. The waiver by the Company with respect to Employee’s (or any other participant’s) compliance with any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by such party of a provision of this Agreement. |

1. | Award of Units. Pursuant to the Halliburton Company Stock and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), Employee is hereby awarded the aggregate number of units subject to award set forth above evidencing the right to receive an equivalent number of shares of Company common stock, par value USD 2.50 per share (“Stock”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan. The units granted pursuant to this Agreement that are referred to as the “Restricted Stock Units”. |
2. | Plan Incorporated. Employee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees that this award of Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, including future amendments thereto.

3. | Vesting of Restricted Stock Units; Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units. |
(a) | Vesting Schedule. The Restricted Stock Units shall vest in accordance with the vesting details for this grant displayed in the Distribution Schedule in Employee’s account at www.NetBenefits.Fidelity.com, provided that Employee has been continuously and actively employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and affiliated companies from the date of this Agreement through the applicable vesting date. |
(b) | Accelerated Vesting. The Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested on the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Corporate Change (as such term is defined in the Plan), or (ii) the date Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated by reason of death or disability (as determined by the Company). In the event Employee’s employment is terminated for any other reason, including retirement (as determined by the Company), upon the recommendation of applicable management of the Company and/or business unit, the Committee which administers the Plan (the “Committee”) or its delegate, as appropriate, may, in the Committee’s or such delegate’s sole discretion, approve the acceleration of the vesting of any or all Restricted Stock Units, such vesting to be effective on the date of such approval or Employee’s Termination Date (as defined below), if later. |
(c) | Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units. In the event of a termination of Employee’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliated companies for any reason except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, Employee shall, for no consideration, forfeit all Restricted Stock Units to the extent they are not fully vested as of the Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, “Termination Date” for purposes of this award will be deemed to occur as of the date Employee is no longer actively providing services as an employee, unless otherwise determined by the Company in its sole discretion, and no vesting shall continue during any notice period that may be specified under contract or applicable law with respect to such termination, including any “garden leave” or similar period, except as may otherwise be permitted in the Company’s sole discretion. |
4. | Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, payment shall be made as soon as administratively practicable but in no event later than 60 days after the vesting date. The Company, in its sole discretion, may provide for settlement in the form of: |

(b) | a cash payment in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock that correspond to the vested Restricted Stock Units, to the extent that settlement in shares of Stock (i) is prohibited under local law, (ii) would require Employee, the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliated company to obtain the approval of any governmental or regulatory body in Employee’s country of employment (or residence, if different), (iii) would result in adverse tax consequences to Employee, the Company, or any Subsidiary or affiliated company, or (iv) is administratively burdensome. |
5. | Non-Disclosure, Non-Solicit and Non-Compete Covenants. To further align Employee’s interests with the Company’s long-term business interests, including the preservation of the Company’s goodwill and the protection of the Confidential Business Information (as defined below) that Employee has obtained and will, necessarily continue to receive and rely on, Employee and the Company hereby agree to the following: |
(a) | Non-Disclosure of Confidential Business Information. Employee will not at any time during employment by the Company, and for so long thereafter as the pertinent information or documentation remains confidential, use (either for the benefit of Employee or the benefit of others), publish, disclose, claim ownership of, communicate, divulge or send to others, access, or take, any Confidential Business Information or any confidential information of the vendors, consultants, affiliates, joint ventures, or customers of the Company, except as required in the conduct of the Company’s business, or as otherwise authorized in writing by the Company. Employee acknowledges and agrees that any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Business Information or other confidential information would cause irreparable harm to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement does not prevent Employee from: (i) making a good faith report of possible violations of applicable law to the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental agency or entity; or (ii) making disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of applicable law or receiving any award for information provided under such whistleblower provisions. |
(b) | Non-Solicit and Non-Compete. During Employee’s employment with the Company and for twelve (12) months immediately thereafter, Employee will not, other than on behalf of the Company, directly or indirectly, as a proprietor, partner, employee, agent or otherwise: |
(i) | Solicit or hire any Company employee, contractor, or consultant to work for, or provide goods or services to, any other company or organization. For the purpose of this provision, “Company employee, contractor, or consultant” means any individual or entity who or which was employed or retained by, or provided goods or services to, the Company within the last twelve (12) months of Employee’s employment by the Company. |
(ii) | Sell, attempt to sell, or assist in the effort of anyone else who sells or attempts to sell, any products or services which compete with products or services offered by Company to any actual or prospective customer of the Company with whom or with which Employee dealt at any time during the last twelve (12) months of Employee’s employment by the Company or about whom Employee has any Confidential Business Information. |
(iii) | Participate in, work for, or provide services, in the Territory in which Employee was employed, to any person or entity that is, or is actively planning to be, a “Competitive Business.” The “Territory in which Employee was employed” shall include, but not be limited to (1) Employee’s geographical area of responsibility, (2) a zone of 150 miles radius from a facility, location or office of the Company in which Employee was employed during the last eighteen (18) months of Employee’s employment at the Company, and (3) all locations from which Employee regularly performed Employee’s job functions or performed significant job functions, during the last eighteen (18) months of Employee’s employment at the Company. The term “Competitive Business” shall mean any business (however organized or conducted) that competes with a business in which the Company is engaged or in which the Company was actively planning to engage, at any time during the last twelve (12) months of Employee’s employment by the Company, provided that Employee was involved with or had access to Confidential Business Information regarding such business. This restriction does not prohibit Employee from working for a person or entity, even if a Competitive Business, in a capacity unrelated to the work that Employee performed for the Company, provided Employee and any new employer first provide the Company with adequate written assurances of the steps taken to ensure the protection, and to prevent the use or disclosure, of Confidential Business Information. |
(iv) | Act in any capacity for or with any Competitive Business, or for or with any of their agents, if in such capacity Employee would, because of the nature of his/her role with such Competitive Business and Employee’s knowledge of Confidential Business Information, inevitably use and/or disclose any Confidential Business Information in his/her work for, or on behalf of, the Competitive Business or its agent. |
(v) | Otherwise interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt relations between the Company and any of its employees, contractors, or consultants. |
(c) | State Specific Limitations. Employee and the Company hereby further agree that, in spite of anything in the Agreement to the contrary, if and to the extent Employee works for the Company, not including temporary assignments or business travel, in the states mentioned below, the restrictions in Paragraph 5(b) will be revised as set forth below. During any portion of Employee’s employment with the Company when Employee is not assigned to one of the states listed below, this Agreement shall be enforceable in its entirety: |
(i) | California and North Dakota: The only provisions of Paragraph 5(b) that will apply during Employee’s ongoing (not temporary or business travel) assignment in California or North Dakota shall be subparagraph (i) and, to the extent necessary to protect the Company’s trade secrets, subparagraphs (iv) and (v). |
(ii) | Oklahoma: The only provisions of Paragraph 5(b) that will apply during Employee’s ongoing (not temporary or business travel) assignment in Oklahoma shall be subparagraph (i), and to the extent necessary to prevent the direct solicitation of the sale of goods and/or services from the customers of the Company, subparagraph (ii), and to the extent necessary to protect the Company’s trade secrets, subparagraphs (iv) and (v). |
(iii) | Louisiana: The provisions of Paragraph 5(b) will apply during Employee’s ongoing (not temporary or business travel) assignment in Louisiana in the following Louisiana parishes and municipalities: Acadia, Bienville, Bossier, Caddo, Calcasieu, Cameron, Iberia, Lafayette, Lafourche, Orleans, Plaquemines, Rapides, St. Mary, St. Martin, Terrebonne, and Vermilion. |

6. | Shareholder Rights. Employee shall have no rights to dividends, dividend equivalents or any other rights of a shareholder with respect to shares of Stock subject to this award of Restricted Stock Units unless and until such time as the award has been settled by the transfer of shares of Stock to Employee. |
7. | Non-Transferability. The Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated, encumbered, disposed of, or otherwise transferred, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a “qualified domestic relations order” as defined by the Code or Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or similar order. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Stock Units or of such rights contrary to the provisions hereof or in the Plan, the Restricted Stock Units and such rights shall immediately become null and void. |
8. | Withholding of Tax. Employee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Subsidiary or affiliated company that employs Employee (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social contributions, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account, hypothetical tax or other tax-related items related to Employee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Employee or deemed by the Company or the Employer in their discretion to be an appropriate charge to Employee even if legally applicable to the Company or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains Employee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer, if any. Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired pursuant to such vesting and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Employee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. |
9. | Status of Shares of Stock. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Stock pursuant to any Restricted Stock Units at any time, when the offering of the shares of Stock covered by such Restricted Stock Unit has not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or such other country, U.S. federal or state laws, rules or regulations as the Company deems applicable and, in the opinion of legal counsel for the Company, there is no exemption from the registration. The Company intends to use reasonable efforts to ensure that no such delay will occur. In the event exemption from registration under the Act is available upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, Employee, if requested by the Company to do so, will execute and deliver to the Company in writing an agreement containing such provisions as the Company may require to assure compliance with applicable securities laws. |
10. | Nature of Grant. In accepting the Restricted Stock Units, Employee acknowledges and agrees that: |
(a) | the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time (subject to any limitations set forth in the Plan); |
(b) | the grant of the Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of restricted stock units, or benefits in lieu of restricted stock units, even if restricted stock units or other awards have been granted in the past; |
(c) | all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; |
(d) | Employee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; |
(e) | the Restricted Stock Units and Employee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment contract with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliated companies and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company or the Employer, as applicable, to terminate Employee’s employment relationship (as otherwise may be permitted under local law); |
(f) | unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Restricted Stock Units and any shares of Stock acquired upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, any service Employee may provide as a director of any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company; |
(g) | the Restricted Stock Units and any shares of Stock acquired under the Plan and the income and value of same are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company; |
(h) | the future value of the shares of Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty; |
(i) | upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the value of such shares of Stock may increase or decrease in value; |
(j) | no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units resulting from termination of Employee’s employment (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws or later found invalid) and, in consideration of the Restricted Stock Units, Employee agrees not to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer; |
(k) | the Restricted Stock Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement not otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or provided by the Company in its discretion, to have the Restricted Stock Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company, nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of Stock; and |
(l) | neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliated companies shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Employee’s local currency and the U.S. dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or any amounts due to Employee pursuant to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any shares of Stock acquired upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units. |
11. | Data Privacy.

12. | Insider Trading; Market Abuse Laws. By participating in the Plan, Employee agrees to comply with the Company’s policy on insider trading. Employee further acknowledges that, depending on Employee’s or his or her broker’s country of residence or where the shares of Stock are listed, Employee may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws that may affect Employee’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Stock, rights to shares of Stock (e.g., restricted stock units) or rights linked to the value of shares of Stock, during such times Employee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company as defined by the laws or regulations in Employee’s country. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders Employee places before he or she possessed inside information. Furthermore, Employee could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) ”tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Employee understands that third parties include fellow employees. Any restriction under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy.

Employee agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in lieu of receiving documents in paper format, to accept electronic delivery of any documents that the Company and its Subsidiaries or affiliated companies may deliver in connection with this grant and any other grants offered by the Company, including prospectuses, grant notifications, account statements, annual or quarterly reports, and other communications.

15. | Addendum. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in the Country-Specific Addendum to this Agreement (the “Addendum”).

The Addendum constitutes part of this Agreement. |
16. | Not a Public Offering. The award of the Restricted Stock Units is not intended to be a public offering of securities in Employee’s country of employment (or country of residence, if different).

Finally, Employee agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with Employee’s personal obligations under local laws, rules and/or regulations in Employee’s country of employment and country of residence, if different). |
18. | Imposition of Other Requirements.

19. | Committee’s Powers. No provision contained in this Agreement shall in any way terminate, modify or alter, or be construed or interpreted as terminating, modifying or altering any of the powers, rights or authority vested in the Committee or, to the extent delegated, in its delegate, pursuant to the terms of the Plan or resolutions adopted in furtherance of the Plan, including, without limitation, the right to make certain determinations and elections with respect to the Restricted Stock Units. |

For purposes of resolving any dispute that may arise directly or indirectly from this Agreement, the parties hereby agree that any such dispute that cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted for resolution through the Halliburton Dispute Resolution Program, pursuant to which the last step is final and binding arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that in addition to any other rights or remedies they may have, that either party shall be entitled, if it so elects, to institute a proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction to obtain a preliminary injunction (with each waiving the other’s obligation, if any, to post bond) in order to prevent activities in violation of the Agreement and to maintain the status quo pending resolution of the parties’ dispute in accordance with the Halliburton Dispute Resolution Program. |
22. | U.S. Federal Defend Trade Secrets Act Notice. Employee is hereby notified in accordance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 that Employee will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any U.S. federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a U.S. federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. If Employee files a lawsuit for retaliation against the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Employee may disclose the Company’s trade secrets to the Employee’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the Employee files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. |
23. | Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more of the provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Agreement shall be reformed and construed so that it would be enforceable to the maximum extent legally possible, and if it cannot be so reformed and construed, as if such unenforceable provision, or part thereof, had never been contained herein.
