set forth in the Plan, including future amendments thereto, if any, pursuant to the terms thereof, which Plan is incorporated herein by reference as a part of this Agreement.  Except as defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the same meanings ascribed to them under the Plan.





2.           Terms of Restricted Stock Units.  Employee hereby accepts the Restricted Stock Units and agrees with respect thereto as follows:





(a)           Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units.  In the event of termination of Employee’s employment with the Company or employing Subsidiary for any reason other than (i) death

(b)           Assignment of Restricted Stock Units Prohibited.  The Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred, encumbered
or disposed of.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested on the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Corporate Change (as such term is defined in the Plan), or (ii) the date Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated by reason of death or disability (as determined by the Company or employing
Subsidiary).  In the event Employee’s employment is terminated for any other reason, including retirement with the approval of the Company or employing Subsidiary, the Committee which administers the Plan (the “Committee”) or its delegate, as appropriate, may, in the Committee’s or such delegate’s sole discretion, approve the acceleration of the vesting of any or all Restricted Stock Units not theretofore vested, such vesting to be effective on the date of such approval
or Employee’s termination date, if later.

 

(d)           Shareholder Rights.  The Employee shall have no rights to dividends, dividend equivalents or any other rights of a shareholder with respect to shares of Stock subject to this
award of Restricted Stock Units unless and until such time as the award has been settled by the transfer of shares of Stock to the Employee.





(e)           Settlement and Delivery of Stock.  Payment of vested Restricted Stock Units shall be made as soon as administratively practicable after vesting.  Settlement will be
made by payment in shares of Stock or cash in accordance with the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of Stock if counsel to the Company determines that such sale or delivery would violate any applicable law or any rule or regulation of any governmental authority or any rule or regulation of, or agreement of the Company with, any securities exchange or association upon which the Stock is listed or quoted.  The Company shall in no event
be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the delivery of shares of Stock to comply with any such law, rule, regulation or agreement.





Furthermore, Employee understands that the laws of the country in which he/she is working at the time of grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or at the subsequent sale of shares of Stock granted to Employee under this Award (including any rules or regulations governing securities, foreign exchange, tax, labor or other matters)
may subject Employee to additional procedural or regulatory requirements he/she is solely responsible for and will have to independently fulfill in relation to ownership or sale of such shares.

Employee further understands and agrees that the Company and any related company are neither responsible for any foreign exchange fluctuations between Employee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of Stock nor liable for any decrease in the value of Stock.





3.           Withholding of Tax.  The Committee may make such provisions as it may deem appropriate for the withholding of any taxes which it determines is required in connection with this
award of Restricted Stock Units, and, unless otherwise approved by the Committee, the Company shall either (i) reduce the number of shares of Stock that would have otherwise been delivered to Employee by a number of shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld, or (ii) withhold the appropriate amount of any taxes due in accordance with the Company’s payroll procedures applicable to the Employee.





4.           Employment Relationship.  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 the Company
or any Subsidiary, or a corporation or a subsidiary of such corporation assuming or substituting a new award for this award of Restricted Stock Units.  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.





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 or a related company for any particular period of time.  This Agreement shall not interfere in any way with the Company or
a related company’s right to terminate Employee’s employment at any time.  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 Plan or the inclusion of the value of any grants in the calculation of severance payments, if any, upon termination of
employment.





5.           Data Privacy.  In order to perform its obligations under the Plan or for the implementation and administration of such Plan, the Company may collect, transfer, use, process,
or hold certain personal or sensitive data about Employee.  Such data includes, but is not limited to Employee’s name, nationality, citizenship, work authorization, date of birth, age, government or tax identification number, passport number, brokerage account information, address, compensation and equity award history, and beneficiaries’ contact information.

the United States or other countries, such as but not limited to human resources personnel, legal and tax advisors, and brokerage administrators), use, processing, and holding, electronically or otherwise, of his/her personal information in connection with this or any other equity award.  At all times, the Company shall maintain the confidentiality of Employee’s personal information, except to the extent the Company is required to provide such information to governmental agencies or other parties;
such actions will be undertaken by the Company only in accordance with applicable law.





6.           Mode of Communications.  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 or related company 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 website of the Company’s agent administering the Plan.





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.





7.           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.





8.           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.





9.           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, which Program’s last step is final and binding arbitration.
