PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
Grant Date: <<Grant Date>>
Grantee (“Employee”): <<Participant Name>>
Aggregate Number of Performance Share Units Subject to Award (the “Plan Amount”): <<Number_Units>>
This PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made as of <<Grant Date>>, between HALLIBURTON COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and <<Participant Name>> (“Employee”).
1.Award of Units. As a participant in the 2024 cycle (the “2024 Cycle”) of the Halliburton Company Performance Unit Program (the “PUP”), which has been established under the Halliburton Company Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), fifty percent of Employee’s payout for the 2024 Cycle will be in the form of shares of Company common stock, par value USD 2.50 per share (“Stock”). Accordingly, Employee is hereby awarded the number of units equal to the Plan Amount, evidencing the right to receive shares of Stock, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the PUP. The units granted pursuant to this Agreement are referred to as the “Performance Share Units”.
2.PUP and Plan Incorporated. Employee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the PUP and Plan and agrees that this award of Performance Share Units shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the PUP and Plan, including future amendments thereto. The PUP and Plan are 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 PUP and Plan.
3.Determination of the Final Number of Performance Share Units.
(a)Performance Goals and Measures. The 2024 Cycle describes how the final number of Performance Share Units will be calculated according to this Agreement. The final number of Performance Share Units will be between 0% and 250% of the Plan Amount (the “Final Award”) and will be based on the Compensation Committee’s (the “Committee”) determination of (1) the Company’s relative average Return on Capital Employed and (2) a relative Total Shareholder Return modifier (collectively, the “Performance Goals”) over the Performance Period.
(b)Performance Period. The 2024 Cycle begins on January 1, 2024 and ends on December 31, 2026 (the “Performance Period”).
(c)Timing. After the close of the Performance Period, but in no event later than 60 days following the last day of the Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the extent to which the Performance Goals have been achieved in accordance with the 2024 Cycle and will determine the Final Award. Employee must be continuously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company at all times from the Grant Date until the end of the Performance Period in order to receive the Final Award. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Committee determines that the level of achievement of the Performance Goals does not meet the minimum threshold requirement specified in the 2024 Cycle, then all Performance Share Units will be forfeited.
4.Forfeiture of Performance Share Units.
(a)General. Except as provided in this Section 4, if Employee does not remain continuously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company until the end of the Performance Period, Employee will have no rights under this Agreement and all the Performance Share Units will be forfeited as of his or her 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 Employee shall not be considered to be actively providing services 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.
(b)Death or Disability. If Employee’s employment with the Company terminates due to death or disability (as determined by the Company) on or before the final day of the Performance Period, then the Company will cause a prorated number of Performance Share Units to be issued to Employee. The pro-rated amount will be equal to the product of (1) and (2) where (1) is the amount Employee would have received under this Agreement based on the actual results of the Performance Goals as determined by the Committee if Employee’s employment with the Company had not been terminated due to Employee’s death or disability and (2) is a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days Employee was employed during the Performance Period as of the Termination Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Performance Period. On the date of settlement pursuant to Section 5, payment will be made to Employee, Employee’s legal representative, or the person to whom Employee’s rights pass to by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
(c)Retirement. In the event of Employee’s retirement (as determined by the Company), Employee will, for no consideration, forfeit all Performance Share Units unless, upon the recommendation of applicable management of the Company and/or business unit, the Committee or its delegate, as appropriate, may, in the Committee’s or such delegate’s sole discretion, approve a pro-rated amount of Performance Share Units. The pro-rated amount will be equal to the product of (1) and (2) where (1) is the amount Employee would have received under this Agreement based on the actual results of the Performance Goals as determined by the Committee if Employee had not retired and (2) is a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days Employee was employed during the Performance Period as of the date of retirement and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Performance Period. Payment will be made to Employee on the date of settlement pursuant to Section 5.
(4)Settlement of Performance Share Units. Payment of any Final Award shall be made as soon as administratively practicable but in no event later than 75 days after the end of the Performance Period. Settlement of Final Awards are intended to be in the form of shares of Stock; provided however, that settlement may be made by a cash payment in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock that correspond to the Final Award 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. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, any Final Award shall be immediately forfeited if, at the time such payment would otherwise be made, Employee is in violation of Section 5 of this Agreement, or, where applicable, of any non-solicitation or non-competition covenant of any other written agreement between Employee and the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliated company, including, but not limited to, any employment agreement.
The Company may require Employee to sell such shares of Stock immediately or within a specified period following Employee’s termination of employment (in which case Employee hereby agrees that the Company shall have the authority to issue sale instructions in relation to such shares of Stock on Employee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization).
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 agrees that (a) the Company’s Confidential Business Information constitutes valuable, special, and unique assets

that the Company uses in its business to obtain a competitive advantage over its competitors; and (b) the protection of such Confidential Business Information against unauthorized disclosure and Employee’s use thereof is of critical importance to the Company in maintaining its competitive position. Employee also acknowledges and agrees that any unauthorized use or disclosure of such Confidential Business Information or other confidential information would cause irreparable harm to the Company. In consideration of the foregoing, Employee thereby agrees that 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 Company or its affiliates, including the vendors, consultants, joint ventures, or customers of the Company, except to the extent needed to carry out Employee’s obligations to the Company 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 one year immediately thereafter, Employee will not, other than on behalf of the Company, directly or indirectly, as a proprietor, partner, employee, agent or otherwise:
(1)Solicit, directly or indirectly, or cause or permit others to solicit, directly or indirectly, any person (i) formerly employed by the Company during the six (6) month period immediately preceding or following the termination of Employee’s employment (“Former Employee”) or (ii) employed by the Company (“Current Employee”). The term “solicit” includes, but is not limited to, the following (regardless of whether done directly or indirectly): (a) requesting that a Former or Current Employee change employment; (b) informing a Former or Current Employee that an opening exists elsewhere; (c) assisting a Former or Current Employee in finding employment elsewhere; (d) inquiring if a Former or Current Employee “knows of anyone who might be interested” in a position elsewhere; (e) inquiring if a Former or Current Employee might have an interest in employment elsewhere; (f) informing others of the name or status of, or other information about, a Former or Current Employee; or (g) any other similar conduct, the intended or actual effect of which is that a Former Employee affiliates with another employer or a Current Employee leaves the employment of the Company.
(2)Anywhere in the world, directly or indirectly, either (a) solicit, encourage, or induce to terminate or reduce its business with the Company, or (b) provide any products and/or services that compete directly with products and/or services provided, marketed, and/or under development by the Company at any time during the two (2) years preceding the termination of Employee’s employment, in both cases, to any person or entity who paid or engaged the Company for products and/or services, or who received the benefit of the Company’s products and/or services, or with whom Employee had any substantial dealings while Employee was employed by the Company, during the two (2) years preceding Employee’s termination of employment with the Company.
(3)Engage, directly or indirectly, either as a proprietor, stockholder, partner, director, officer, member, employee, consultant, or otherwise, in any existing or future business operating in North America or in any of the ten countries outside of North America that produced the highest revenues for the Company in the year preceding Employee’s termination of employment that offers, sells, or provides equipment, products or services that compete with the Company’s equipment, products or services (each, a “Competitive Business”). Nothing in this Section 5 shall prohibit Employee and Employee’s affiliates from owning, as passive investors, in the aggregate not more than five percent of equity securities of any Competitive Business.

(4) 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.
(5)Otherwise interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt relations between the Company and any of its employees, contractors, vendors, third party business affiliates, or consultants.
Employee agrees that (a) the covenants contained in this Agreement are necessary for the protection of the Company’s business, goodwill, customer and employee relationships and Confidential Business Information, and (b) the compensation and other consideration received by Employee, including the Performance Share Units, are based on Employee’s agreement to such covenants. Employee represents and warrants that the time, scope of activity and geographic area restricted by this Agreement are reasonable, especially in the view of the worldwide scope of the business operations of the Company, Employee’s position and responsibilities with the Company, and the nature of the Confidential Business Information, that the enforcement of those restrictions contained in this Agreement would not be unduly burdensome to or impose any undue hardship on Employee, and that Employee will be able to earn a reasonable living while abiding by such covenants.
(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:

(d)Confidential Business Information. As used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential Business Information” means any and all of the Company’s trade secrets, confidential and/or proprietary information, and all other information and data that is not generally known to third persons who could derive economic value from its use or disclosure, including, but not limited to, the Company’s strategies, methods, products, software, designs, drawings, books, records, data, and technical information concerning its products, equipment, services and processes, procurement procedures and pricing techniques; the methods though which the Company identifies, hires, trains and compensates its employees; details regarding the Company’s employees, including their compensation, contact information, and their performance and conduct; methods to locate and qualify contractors, vendors and third party affiliates; the identity of and other information (such as credit and financial data) concerning the Company’s contractors, vendors and third party affiliates; the individuals, and their contact Information, at contractors, vendors and third party affiliates with whom the Company has dealt; the amounts and types of goods and/or services purchased in the past from contractors, vendors and third party affiliates; the amounts paid for such past purchases; the identity of the Company’s customers; the individuals, and their contact information, at customers with whom Employee has dealt; the amounts and types of products and services purchased in the past by such customers; the amount paid for such past purchases, the timing of such past purchases, and the method of payment for such past purchases; the Company’s plans for future products and services; the details of any ongoing or planned negotiations for future products and services; and the Company’s plans for the future, including without limitation plans for its products and services, for geographic and customer markets, and for marketing, promoting, selling, distributing and providing its products and services.
6.Shareholder Rights and Dividends. Employee shall have no rights to dividends, dividend equivalents or any other rights of a shareholder with respect to the Performance Share Units unless and until such time as the award has been settled by the transfer of shares of Stock to Employee. Upon settlement of the Final Award, any dividends Employee would have earned had he or she held the amount of Stock equal to the Final Award amount for the duration of the Performance Period will be paid in cash to Employee.
7.No Fractional Shares. All provisions of this agreement concern whole shares of Stock. If the application of any provision of this agreement would yield a fractional share of Stock, such fractional shares will be rounded down to the next whole share of Stock.
8.Non-Transferability. The Performance Share 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 Performance Share Units or of such rights contrary to the provisions hereof or in the PUP or the Plan, the Performance Share Units 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 PUP 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 Performance Share Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired, 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 Performance Share 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.
Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Employee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Employee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from Employee’s wages or other cash compensation payable to Employee by the Company and/or the Employer; (ii) withholding from the shares of Stock to be delivered upon settlement of the Performance Share Units or other awards granted to Employee having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld; (iii) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the Performance Share Units, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Employee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or (iv) permitting Employee to tender to the Company cash (including check, bank draft or money order delivered to the Company’s Stock Plan Administrator) or, if allowed by the Committee, shares of Stock previously acquired by Employee having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Employee is subject to Section 16 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld from the shares of Stock to be delivered upon settlement of the Performance Share Units.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates (as determined by the Company in good faith and in its sole discretion) or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates. In the event of over-withholding, Employee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in shares of Stock), or if not refunded, Employee may seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, Employee may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or the Employer. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding from the shares of Stock to be delivered upon settlement of the Performance Share Units, for tax purposes, Employee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the Performance Share Units, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. Employee will have no further rights with respect to any shares of Stock that are retained by the Company pursuant to this provision.
Employee agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Employee’s participation in the PUP that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver shares of Stock or proceeds from the sale of shares of Stock until arrangements satisfactory to the Company have been made in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
10.Status of Shares of Stock. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Stock pursuant to any Performance Share Units at any time, when the offering of the shares of Stock covered by such Performance Share 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 settlement of the Performance Share 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.
Employee agrees that the shares of Stock which Employee may acquire upon settlement of the Performance Share Units will not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner which would constitute a violation of any applicable U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. securities laws. Employee also agrees (i) that the Company may refuse to register the transfer of the shares of Stock acquired under the Performance Share Units on the stock transfer records of the Company if such proposed transfer would in the opinion of counsel to the Company constitute a violation of any applicable securities law, and (ii) that the Company may give related instructions to its transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the transfer of the shares of Stock acquired under the PUP.
11.Nature of Grant. In accepting the Performance Share Units, Employee acknowledges and agrees that:
(1)the PUP 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 PUP);
(2)the grant of the Performance Share Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of performance share units, or benefits in lieu of performance share units, even if performance share units or other awards have been granted in the past;
(3)all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(4)Employee’s participation in the PUP is voluntary;
(5)the Performance Share Units and Employee’s participation in the PUP 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);
(6)unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Performance Share Units and any shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the Performance Share 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;
(7)the Performance Share Units and any shares of Stock acquired under the PUP 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;
(8)the final number of Performance Share Units earned under this Agreement is unknown, and the number may be zero if the Committee determines that the level of achievement of the Performance Goals does not meet the minimum threshold requirement specified for the 2024 Cycle, in which case all of the Performance Share Units will be forfeited for no consideration;
(9)the future value of the shares of Stock underlying the Performance Share Units is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(10)upon settlement of the Performance Share Units, the value of such shares of Stock may increase or decrease in value;
(11)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Performance Share 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 Performance Share Units, Employee agrees not to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer;
(12)the Performance Share Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement not otherwise specifically provided for in the PUP or provided by the Company in its discretion, to have the Performance Share 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
(13)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 Performance Share Units or any amounts due to Employee pursuant to the settlement of the Performance Share Units or the subsequent sale of any shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the Performance Share Units.
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 the Performance Share 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 PUP. 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.
Employee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Employee’s Data as described in this Agreement and any other grant materials by and among, as necessary and applicable, the Company and any of its Subsidiaries or affiliated companies, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Employee’s participation in the PUP.
Employee understands that Data will be transferred to the stock brokerage or other financial or administrative services firm designated by the Company (the “Stock Plan Administrator”) which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the PUP. Employee authorizes the Company, the Company’s Stock Plan Administrator and any other possible recipients that may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the PUP to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing Employee’s participation in the PUP. Further, Employee understands that Employee is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Employee does not consent, or if Employee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, Employee’s service status and career will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing Employee’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Employee the Performance Share Units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, Employee understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect Employee’s ability to participate in the PUP.
13.Insider Trading; Market Abuse Laws. By participating in the PUP, 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.
14.Electronic Delivery and Participation. 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 PUP. By accepting this grant, whether electronically or otherwise, Employee also hereby consents to participate in the PUP 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 PUP and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the Performance Share Units be drawn up in English. Employee acknowledges that Employee is sufficiently proficient in English, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, so as to allow Employee to understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement. To the extent Employee has been provided with a copy of this Agreement, the PUP, 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.
16.Not a Public Offering. The award of the Performance Share 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 Performance Share 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 PUP. Acquiring shares of Stock involves a degree of risk. Before deciding to participate in the PUP, Employee should carefully consider all risk factors relevant to the acquisition of shares of Stock under the PUP and carefully review all of the materials related to the Performance Share Units and the PUP. 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 PUP 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 PUP, on the Performance Share Units, and on any shares of Stock acquired under the PUP, 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.

of the PUP or resolutions adopted in furtherance of the PUP, including, without limitation, the right to make certain determinations and elections with respect to the Performance Share 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.
(a)Except as set forth in Paragraph 21(c), 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.
(b)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.
(c)If Employee’s ongoing (not temporary or business travel) assignment is in California, Colorado, Louisiana or North Dakota, then Paragraph 5 shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of California, Colorado, Louisiana or North Dakota, respectively.
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 Employee’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if 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 covenant in Paragraph 5 of 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.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be duly executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.
