If an employee who has previously been designated as a Participant for a particular Plan Year takes a leave of absence during such Plan Year, all of such Participant’s rights to a Reward for such Plan Year shall be forfeited, unless the Committee (with respect to a Participant who is a Senior Executive) or the CEO (with respect to any other Participant) shall determine that such Participant’s Reward for such Plan Year shall be prorated based upon that portion of the Plan Year during which he or she was an active Participant, in which case the prorated portion of the Reward shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1.
Each Participant shall be assigned to a Participant Category at the time he or she becomes a Participant for a particular Plan Year. If a Participant thereafter incurs a change in status due to promotion, demotion, reassignment or transfer, (i) the Committee, in the case of the CEO or other Senior Executive,
4

or (ii) the CEO, or his or her delegate, in the case of any other Participant, may approve such adjustment in such Participant’s Reward Opportunity as deemed appropriate under the circumstances (including termination of participation in the Plan for the remainder of the Plan Year), such adjustment to be made on a pro rata basis for the balance of the Plan Year effective with the first day of the month following such approval, unless some other effective date is specified. All such approvals shall be documented in writing and filed with the Plan records for the applicable Plan Year.
3.3 No Right to Participate. Except as provided in Sections 3.1 and 3.2, no Participant or other employee of the Company or an Affiliate shall, at any time, have a right to participate in the Plan for any Plan Year, notwithstanding having previously participated in the Plan.

Article V
REWARD DETERMINATIONS
5.1 Performance Measures. CVA shall be the primary Performance Measure in determining Performance Goals for any Plan Year. In addition, appropriate CVA Drivers applicable to particular Participants may also be used as Performance Measures.
5.2 Performance Requirements. Prior to the last day of February of each Plan Year, (i) the Committee shall approve the Performance Goals and the CEO shall approve appropriate CVA Drivers applicable to certain Participants and (ii) the Committee shall establish a Reward Schedule which aligns the level of achievement of applicable Performance Goals with Reward Opportunities, such that the level of achievement of the pre‑established Performance Goals at the end of the Plan Year will determine the actual Reward.
5.3 Reward Determinations. After the end of each Plan Year, (i) the Committee shall determine the extent to which the Performance Goals (other than CVA Drivers) have been achieved and (ii) the CEO shall determine the extent to which the applicable CVA Drivers have been achieved, and the amount of the Reward shall be computed for each Participant in accordance with the Reward Schedule.
5.4 Reward Opportunities. The established Reward Opportunities may vary in relation to the Participant Categories and within the Participant Categories. In the event a Participant changes Participant Categories during a Plan Year, the Participant’s Reward Opportunities shall be adjusted in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 3.2.
5.5 Discretionary Adjustments. Once established, Performance Goals will not be changed during the Plan Year. However, if the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that there has been (i) a change in the business, operations, corporate or capital structure, (ii) a change in the manner in which business is conducted or (iii) any other material change or event which will impact one or more Performance Goals in a manner the Committee did not intend, then the Committee may, reasonably contemporaneously with such change or event, make such adjustments as it shall deem appropriate and equitable in the manner of computing the relevant Performance Measures applicable to such Performance Goal or Goals for the Plan Year; provided, however, that the CEO shall be authorized, subject to the review and oversight of the Committee, to make adjustments in the manner of computing one or more CVA Drivers if, when evaluated in accordance with the standards set forth in the preceding sentence, he or she shall deem such adjustments to be appropriate and equitable.
5.6 Discretionary Bonuses. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, make such other or additional bonus payments to a Participant as it shall deem appropriate.

DISTRIBUTION OF REWARDS
6.1 Form and Timing of Payment. Except as otherwise provided below, the amount of each Reward shall be paid in cash on the Payment Date. In the event of termination of a Participant’s employment prior to the Payment Date for any reason other than death (in which case payment shall be
6

made in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article VII), the amount of any Reward (or prorated portion thereof) payable pursuant to the provisions of Sections 7.1 or 7.2 shall be paid in cash on the Payment Date.
6.2 Elective Deferral. Nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude a Participant’s election to defer receipt of a percentage of his or her Reward beyond the time such amount would have been payable hereunder pursuant to the Halliburton Elective Deferral Plan or other similar plan.
6.3 Tax Withholding. The Company or employing entity through which payment of a Reward is to be made shall have the right to deduct from any payment hereunder any amounts that Federal, state, local or foreign tax laws require with respect to such payments.
Article VII
TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
7.1 Termination of Service During Plan Year. In the event a Participant’s employment is terminated prior to the last business day of a Plan Year for any reason other than death, approved retirement (normal or early) or disability (as determined by the CEO or his or her delegate), all of such Participant’s rights to a Reward for such Plan Year shall be forfeited, unless the Committee (with respect to a Participant who was the CEO or other Senior Executive) or the CEO (with respect to any other Participant) shall determine that such Participant’s Reward for such Plan Year shall be prorated based upon that portion of the Plan Year during which he or she was a Participant, in which case the prorated portion of the Reward shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1. In the case of death during the Plan Year, the prorated amount of such Participant’s Reward, if any, shall be paid to the Participant’s estate, or if there is no administration of the estate, to the heirs at law, on the Payment Date, or as soon thereafter as practicable. In the case of a Participant’s disability or approved retirement (normal or early), the prorated amount of a Participant’s Reward shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1. The amount payable pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be prorated through the end of the month of termination of employment.
7.2 Termination of Service After End of Plan Year But Prior to the Payment Date. If a Participant’s employment is terminated after the end of the applicable Plan Year, but prior to the Payment Date, for any reason other than termination for Cause, the amount of any Reward applicable to such Plan Year shall be paid to the Participant in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1, except in the case of death, in which case the amount of the Reward then unpaid shall be paid to such Participant’s estate, or if there is no administration of the estate, to the heirs at law, as soon as practicable.
If a Participant’s employment is terminated for Cause, all of such Participant’s rights to a Reward applicable to such Plan Year shall be forfeited.
7

Article VIII
RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS AND BENEFICIARIES
8.1 Status as a Participant or Beneficiary. Neither status as a Participant or Beneficiary shall be construed as a commitment that any Reward will be paid or payable under the Plan.
8.2 Employment. Nothing contained in the Plan or in any document related to the Plan or to any Reward shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue as an employee or in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate or constitute any contract or agreement of employment for a specific term or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or an Affiliate to reduce such person’s compensation, to change the position held by such person or to terminate the employment of such person, with or without cause.
8.3 Nontransferability. No benefit payable under, or interest in, this Plan may 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 a benefit payable under, or interest in, this Plan or of such rights contrary to the provisions of the Plan, the benefit payable under, or interest in, this Plan and such rights shall immediately become null and void.
8.4 Nature of Plan. No Participant, Beneficiary or other person shall have any right, title or interest in any fund or in any specific asset of the Company or any Affiliate by reason of any Reward hereunder. There shall be no funding of any benefits which may become payable hereunder. Nothing contained in the Plan (or in any document related thereto), nor the creation or adoption of the Plan, nor any action taken pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall create, or be construed to create, a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or an Affiliate and any Participant, Beneficiary or other person. To the extent that a Participant, Beneficiary or other person acquires a right to receive payment with respect to a Reward hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or other employing entity, as applicable. All amounts payable under the Plan shall be paid from the general assets of the Company or employing entity, as applicable, and no special or separate fund or deposit shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any employee any right to participate in the Plan except in accordance herewith.
8

Article IX
CORPORATE CHANGE
With respect to a Corporate Change that occurs after the end of a Plan Year but prior to the Payment Date, a Participant shall be entitled to an immediate cash payment equal to the Reward earned for such Plan Year. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Participant’s Qualifying Termination, as of the date of the Participant’s termination of service all performance measures upon which an outstanding Reward Opportunity is contingent shall be deemed achieved and the Participant shall receive a payment equal to the target amount of the Reward Opportunity he or she would have been entitled to receive, without proration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, settlement of Rewards will be delayed until the scheduled payment date to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code. The term “Qualifying Termination” will apply with respect to any Reward Opportunity for a Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 2019.
Article X
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Committee may, at any time, terminate or, from time to time amend, modify or suspend the Plan; provided, however, that, without the prior consent of the Participants affected, no such action may adversely affect any rights or obligations with respect to any Rewards theretofore earned for a particular Plan Year, whether or not the amounts of such Rewards have been computed and whether or not such Rewards are then payable.
Article XI
MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 Governing Law. The Plan and all related documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof, except to the extent preempted by federal law. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern all matters with regard to arbitrability.
11.2 Severability. If any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof; instead, each provision shall be fully severable and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if said illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein.
11.3 Successor. All obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.
11.4 Section 409A of the Code. It is intended that the provisions of this Plan satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and that the Plan be operated in a manner consistent with such requirements to the extent applicable. Therefore, the Committee may make adjustments to the Plan and may construe the provisions of the Plan in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if a Participant is a “specified employee”
9

within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and if any payment under the Plan is deferred compensation that is paid as a result of the Participant’s separation from service with the Company (other than death), such amount shall be payable on the first to occur of (i) the date that is six months after the Participant’s termination, (ii) the date of the Participant’s death, or (iii) such earlier date that otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
11.5 Effective Date. This amendment and restatement of the Plan was approved by the Board on February 13, 2019. If the stockholders of the Company approve the Amended and Restated Stock and Incentive Plan at the 2019 Annual Meeting, the Plan as amended and restated herein shall become effective as of January 1, 2019 and shall remain in effect until such time as it may be terminated or amended pursuant to Article X. If the stockholders of the Company fail to approve the Amended and Restated Stock and Incentive Plan at the 2019 Annual Meeting, the Plan as amended and restated herein shall not become effective, and the Plan in its form prior to this amendment and restatement shall continue in effect.
