A registration fee of $1,942,121.48 was paid in connection with the Registration Statement (333-201181) on Form S-4 of Halliburton
Company, as filed with the Commission on December 19, 2014, to register 519,073,938 shares of common stock. The Registration Statement (333-201181) on Form S-4 was subsequently withdrawn on May 9, 2016, and all of the securities offered

Halliburton Company
3000 N. Sam Houston Parkway E.
Houston, Texas 77032
Ladies and Gentlemen:
At your request, I am rendering this opinion in connection with the proposed issuance of up to 25,000,000 shares of common stock ("Common Stock") of Halliburton Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), pursuant to the Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective as of May 15, 2019, (the "Plan") and pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8.
I have examined instruments, documents, and records which I deemed relevant and necessary for the basis of my opinion hereinafter expressed. In such examination, I have assumed the following: (a) the authenticity of original documents and the genuineness of all signatures; (b) the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies; and (c) the truth, accuracy, and completeness of the information, representations, and warranties contained in the records, documents, instruments and certificates I have reviewed.
Based on such examination, I am of the opinion that the shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company pursuant to the Plan are duly authorized, and when issued and sold as described in the Plan and Registration Statement, will be legally issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the above referenced Registration Statement on Form S-8 and to the use of my name wherever it appears in said Registration Statement. In giving such consent, I do not consider that I am an "expert" within the meaning of such term as used in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued thereunder with respect to any part of the Registration Statement, including this opinion, as an exhibit or otherwise.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Bruce A. Metzinger

1.
|
Grant of Option.
The Company hereby irrevocably grants to Employee the right and option to purchase all or any part of the number of shares of Stock set forth above at the option price indicated below (this “Option”), subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement and the Plan. This Option shall not be treated as an incentive stock option within the meaning of section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
|
2.
|
Plan Incorporated.
Employee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees that this Option shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, including future amendments thereto. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference
as a part of this Agreement. Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the same meaning ascribed to them under the Plan.
|
3.
|
Option Price. The
purchase price of the shares of Stock to be paid by Employee pursuant to the exercise of this Option shall be <<Grant_Price>> per share, which has been determined to be not less than the Fair Market Value of the shares of
Stock on the date of grant set forth above (the “Grant Date”). For purposes of this Agreement, the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.
|
4.
|
Vesting of Option.
Except as otherwise provided herein, this Option shall become exercisable in accordance with the vesting details for this grant displayed in the Distribution Schedule in the Employee’s account at www.NetBenefits.Fidelity.com and so long
as Employee has not ceased to actively provide services as an employee, unless otherwise determined by the Company in its sole discretion. The Option shall become fully exercisable upon Employee’s Qualifying Termination. Any question as
to whether and when there has been a termination of such employment and the cause for such termination, shall be determined by the Committee, or its delegate, as appropriate, and its determination shall be final.
|
5.
|
Exercise of Option.
Subject to the earlier expiration of this Option as herein provided, this Option may be exercised by Employee submitting online or phone instructions to the stock brokerage or other financial or administrative services firm designated
by the Company (the “Stock Plan Administrator”) at any time and from time to time after this Option becomes exercisable.
|
6.
|
Effect of Termination of
Employment. This Option may be exercised only while Employee remains an employee of the Company, subject to the following exceptions:
|
(a)
|
If Employee’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliated companies terminates by reason of disability
(as determined by the Company), this Option may be exercised in full by Employee (or Employee’s estate or the person who acquires this Option by will or the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise by reason of the death of
Employee after termination by reason of disability at any time during the period ending on the earlier of the Expiration Date or the third (3rd) anniversary of Employee’s termination of employment.
|
(b)
|
If Employee’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliated companies terminates by reason of death,
Employee’s estate, or the person who acquires this Option by will or the laws of descent and distribution, may exercise this Option in full at any time during the period ending on the earlier of the Expiration Date or the third (3rd)
anniversary of the date of Employee’s death.
|
(c)
|
If Employee’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliated companies terminates for any other reason,
including retirement, 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 retention of this Option, in which case this Option may be exercised by Employee at any time
during the period ending on the Expiration Date, but only as to the number of shares of Stock Employee was entitled to purchase on the date of such exercise in accordance with Section 4 above. If, after retention of this Option pursuant
to this subparagraph (c) has been approved, Employee should die, this Option may be exercised in full by Employee’s estate (or the person who acquires this Option by will or the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise by reason of
the death of the Employee) during the period ending on the earlier of the Expiration Date or the third (3rd) anniversary of the date of Employee’s death.
|
(d)
|
If Employee experiences a Qualifying Termination, Employee (or Employee’s estate, or the person who acquires this Option by will
or the laws of descent and distribution) may exercise this Option in full at any time prior to the Expiration Date.
|
(e)
|
If Employee’s employment with
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliated companies terminates for any reason and the provisions in subparagraphs (a) through (d) above are not applicable, this Option may be exercised by Employee only on stock market
trading days during the 90 calendar days following Employee’s termination date (which 90 day period shall not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law), or by Employee’s estate (or the person who acquires
this Option by will or the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise by reason of the death of the Employee) during a period of six (6) months following Employee’s death if Employee dies during such 90-day period, but in each case
only as to the number of shares of Stock Employee was entitled to purchase hereunder upon exercise of this Option as of Employee’s termination date, unless otherwise permitted by the Company in its sole discretion.
|
7.
|
Shareholder Rights.
Employee shall have no rights to dividends or any other rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Stock underlying this Option unless and until such time as this Option has been exercised and the shares of Stock have been
issued to Employee.
|
8.
|
Non-Transferability.
This Option 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, and may be
exercised during Employee’s lifetime only by Employee, Employee’s guardian or legal representative, or a transferee under a qualified domestic relations order or similar order. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate
or otherwise dispose of this Option or of such rights contrary to the provisions hereof or in the Plan, this Option and such rights shall immediately become null and void.
|
9.
|
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 this Option,
including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of this Option, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired pursuant to such exercise 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 this Option 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.
|
10.
|
Status of Shares of Stock.
The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Stock pursuant to any Option at any time, when the offering of the shares of Stock covered by such Option 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 an exercise of this Option, Employee (or the person permitted to exercise this Option in
the event of Employee’s death or incapacity), 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.
|
11.
|
Nature of Grant.
Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to constitute or create a contract of employment, nor shall it constitute or create the right to remain associated with or in the employ of the Company and its Subsidiaries or affiliated
companies for any particular period of time. This Agreement shall not interfere in any way with the Company’s right to terminate Employee’s employment at any time. For purposes of this Agreement, Employee shall be considered to be in
the employment of the Company as long as Employee remains an employee of either the Company, any successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary corporation (as defined in section 424 of the Code) of the Company or any successor
corporation. Any question as to whether and when there has been a termination of such employment, and the cause of such termination, shall be determined by the Committee, or its delegate, as appropriate, and its determination shall be
final. Furthermore, this Agreement, the Plan, and any other Plan documents are not part of Employee’s employment contract, if any, and do not guarantee either Employee’s right to receive any future grants under such Agreement or the
Plan or the inclusion of the value of any grants in the calculation of severance payments, if any, upon termination of employment.
|
12.
|
Data Privacy. Employee understands that the Company, its Subsidiaries and affiliated companies and/or the Employer may hold certain personal information
about Employee, specifically: Employee’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number, passport number or other identification number, salary, nationality, and any shares
of Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of this Option or any other entitlement to shares of Stock, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Employee’s favor (“Data”), for the purpose of implementing,
administering and managing the Plan. More information about how the Company collects, processes, protects, and transfers Data, as well as the rights of Employees in relation to their Data, is found in the Employee Privacy Notice
available on HalWorld.
|
13.
|
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 which may affect Employee’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Stock, rights to shares of
Stock (e.g., stock options) 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/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 acknowledges that it is Employee’s responsibility to comply with any
applicable restrictions, and that Employee should therefore consult Employee’s personal advisor on this matter.
|
14.
|
Electronic Delivery.
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. Electronic delivery of a document may be
made via the Company’s email system or by reference to a location on the Company’s intranet or website or a website of the Company’s agent administering the Plan. By accepting this Option, Employee also hereby consents to participate in
the Plan through such system, intranet, or website, including but not limited to the use of electronic signatures or click-through electronic acceptance of terms and conditions.
|
15.
|
English Language.
Employee acknowledges and agrees that it is Employee’s express intent that this Agreement and the Plan and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to this Option be drawn up in
English. To the extent Employee has been provided with a copy of this Agreement, the Plan, or any other documents relating to this Option in a language other than English, the English language documents will prevail in case of any
ambiguities or divergences as a result of translation.
|
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).
|
17.
|
Imposition of Other
Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Employee’s participation in the Plan, on this Option, and on any shares of Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines
it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Employee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
|
18.
|
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 this Option.
|
19.
|
Binding Effect.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors to the Company and all persons lawfully claiming under Employee.
|
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.

avoidance of doubt, Employee’s “Termination Date” for purposes of this Option will be deemed to occur as of the date Employee is no longer actively providing services as an employee and will not be extended by any notice period or

Effect of Termination of
Employment. This Option may be exercised only while Employee remains an employee of the Company, subject to the following exceptions:
|
(a)
|
If Employee’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliated companies terminates by reason of disability
(as determined by the Company), this Option may be exercised in full by Employee (or Employee’s estate or the person who acquires this Option by will or the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise by reason of the death of

|
(b)
|
If Employee’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliated companies terminates by reason of death,
Employee’s estate, or the person who acquires this Option by will or the laws of descent and distribution, may exercise this Option in full at any time during the period ending on the earlier of the Expiration Date or the third (3rd)
anniversary of the date of Employee’s death.
|
(c)
|
If Employee’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliated companies terminates for any other reason,
including retirement, 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 retention of this Option, in which case this Option may be exercised by Employee at any time
during the period ending on the Expiration Date, but only as to the number of shares of Stock Employee was entitled to purchase on the date of such exercise in accordance with Section 4 above. If, after retention of this Option pursuant
to this subparagraph (c) has been approved, Employee should die, this Option may be exercised in full by Employee’s estate (or the person who acquires this Option by will or the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise by reason of
the death of the Employee) during the period ending on the earlier of the Expiration Date or the third (3rd) anniversary of the date of Employee’s death.
|
(d)
|
If Employee experiences a Qualifying Termination, Employee (or Employee’s estate, or the person who acquires this Option by will
or the laws of descent and distribution) may exercise this Option in full at any time prior to the Expiration Date.
|
(e)

the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliated companies terminates for any reason and the provisions in subparagraphs (a) through (d) above are not applicable, this Option may be exercised by Employee only on stock market
trading days during the 90 calendar days following Employee’s Termination Date, or by Employee’s estate (or the person who acquires this Option by will or the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise by reason of the
death of the Employee) during a period of six (6) months following Employee’s death if Employee dies during such 90-day period, but in each case only as to the number of shares of Stock Employee was entitled to purchase hereunder upon
exercise of this Option as of the Termination Date, unless otherwise permitted by the Company in its sole discretion.

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 this Option,

obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of this Option 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.

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 an exercise of this Option, Employee (or the person permitted to exercise this Option in

relationship (as otherwise may be permitted under local law);
|

|
(g)
|

part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, holiday pay, 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;

Company or the Employer;
|
(l)
|
this Option and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement not otherwise

connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of Stock; and
|
(m)
|
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 this Option or any amounts due to Employee pursuant to the exercise of this Option or the subsequent sale of any shares of
Stock acquired upon exercise of this Option.

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 which may affect Employee’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Stock, rights to shares of
Stock (e.g., stock options) 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/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 acknowledges that it is Employee’s responsibility to comply with any
applicable restrictions, and that Employee should therefore consult Employee’s personal advisor on this matter.
|
14.

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,

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.

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,

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.

Shareholder Rights.
Employee shall have no rights to dividends, dividend equivalents or any other rights of a shareholder with respect to the 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 the 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 the
same are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, holiday pay, 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. Employee understands that the Company, its Subsidiaries and affiliated companies and/or the Employer may hold certain personal information about
Employee, specifically: Employee’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number, passport number or other identification number, salary, nationality, and any shares of Stock
or directorships held in the Company, and details of the Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to shares of Stock, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Employee’s favor (“Data”), for the purpose of
implementing, administering and managing the Plan. More information about how the Company collects, processes, protects, and transfers Data, as well as the rights of Employees in relation to their Data, is found in the Employee Privacy
Notice available on HalWorld.
|
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 acknowledges that it is Employee’s responsibility to
comply with any applicable restrictions, and that Employee should therefore consult Employee’s personal advisor on this matter.
|
13.
|
Electronic Delivery.
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. Electronic delivery of a document may be made
via the Company’s email system or by reference to a location on the Company’s intranet or website or a website of the Company’s agent administering the Plan. By accepting this grant, whether electronically or otherwise, Employee also
hereby consents to participate in the Plan through such system, intranet, or website, including but not limited to the use of electronic signatures or click-through electronic acceptance of terms and conditions.
|
14.
|
English Language.
Employee acknowledges and agrees that it is Employee’s express intent that this Agreement and the Plan and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units be
drawn up in English. To the extent Employee has been provided with a copy of this Agreement, the Plan, or any other documents relating to this Award in a language other than English, the English language documents will prevail in case of
any ambiguities or divergences as a result of translation.
|
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”). Moreover, if Employee
transfers to one of the countries included in such Addendum, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to Employee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or
advisable to comply with local law or to facilitate the administration of the Plan (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate Employee’s transfer). 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). The Company has not submitted any registration statement,
prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law), and the award of the Restricted Stock Units is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities. No employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliated companies is permitted to advise Employee on whether he/she should
participate in the Plan. Acquiring shares of Stock involves a degree of risk. Before deciding to participate in the Plan, Employee should carefully consider all risk factors relevant to the acquisition of shares of Stock under the Plan
and carefully review all of the materials related to the Restricted Stock Units and the Plan. In addition, Employee should consult with his/her personal advisor for professional investment advice.
|
17.
|
Repatriation; Compliance with
Law. Employee agrees to repatriate all payments attributable to the shares of Stock and/or cash acquired under the Plan in accordance with applicable foreign exchange rules and regulations in Employee’s country of
employment (and country of residence, if different). In addition, 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).
|
18.
|
Imposition of Other Requirements.
The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Employee’s participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units, and on any shares of Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary
or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Employee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
|
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.
|
20.
|
Binding Effect. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors to the Company and all persons lawfully claiming under Employee.
|
21.
|
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. 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. The Non-Disclosure, Non-Solicit, and Non-Compete in
this Agreement shall be separate, independent and concurrently enforceable with other employee agreements that have been signed by Employee. In the event such provisions of an agreement is determined by an adjudicator as not to be
enforceable, any other concurrently enforceable provisions may still be enforced.
|
24.
|
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.
