been available to the KBR Group at the end of such year had the KBR Group Members not been included in the Consolidated Return and the Combined Returns (the “KBR Stand-Alone Attributes”), the value of such shortfall, to the extent such
shortfall is attributable to the use of the KBR Group’s Tax Attributes by ESG Group Members, shall be reflected in the intercompany accounts as an amount payable by Halliburton to KBR. If the amount of the KBR Allocated Attributes is greater
than the KBR Stand-Alone Attributes, the value of such excess, to the extent such excess is attributable to the use of Tax Attributes of ESG Group Members by KBR Group Members during such year, shall be reflected in the intercompany accounts as an
amount payable by KBR to Halliburton. For this purpose, a Tax Attribute shall be treated as used by ESG Group Members or KBR Group Members only to the extent that such Tax Attribute is necessary to reduce the ESG Group Federal Income Tax Liability
or KBR Group Federal Income Tax Liability (computed in accordance with Section 3.03 or 3.04) for such year. In calculating the KBR Stand-Alone Attributes, the utilization of any Tax Attribute carryforward by KBR Group Members shall be subject

Allocated Attributes”) as of the end of such year and shall inform KBR of such determination.

Attributes is less than the amount of Tax Attributes (as reasonably determined by Halliburton) that would have been available to the ESG Group at the end of such year had the ESG Group Members not been included in the Consolidated Return and the
Combined Returns (the “ESG Stand-Alone Attributes”), the value of such shortfall, to the extent such shortfall is attributable to the use of the ESG Group’s Tax Attributes by KBR Group Members, shall be reflected in the intercompany

value of such shortfall, to the extent such shortfall is attributable to the use of the KBR Group’s Tax Attributes by ESG Group Members, shall be paid by Halliburton to KBR within thirty (30) days of the date the KBR Allocated Attributes
are determined. If the amount of the KBR Allocated Attributes for the Pre-Deconsolidation Period is greater than the amount of the KBR Stand-Alone Attributes, the value of such excess, to the extent such excess is attributable to the use of Tax
Attributes of ESG Group Members by KBR Group Members during such period, shall be paid by KBR to Halliburton within thirty (30) days of the date the KBR Allocated Attributes are determined. For this purpose, a Tax Attribute shall be treated as
used by ESG Group Members or KBR Group Members only to the extent that such Tax Attribute is necessary to reduce the ESG Group Federal Income Tax Liability or KBR Group Federal Income Tax Liability (computed in accordance with Section 5.03 or
5.04) for such year. In calculating the KBR Stand-Alone Attributes, the utilization of any Tax Attribute carryforward by KBR Group Members shall be subject to the limitation described in Section 5.04(f) hereof. For purposes of this section, the

Combined Group as a result of a Final Determination, Halliburton shall calculate (i) the change to the KBR Group Federal Income Tax Liability or KBR Group Combined Tax Liability and (ii) any change to the Allocated Attributes and/or the
Stand-Alone Attributes of the KBR Group and such changes shall be properly reflected in payments from Halliburton to KBR, or from KBR to Halliburton, as the case may be.

 (i) In the event any Restructuring Taxes are attributable to a Tainting Act of KBR or any member of the KBR Group, then KBR shall pay and
shall indemnify and hold harmless Halliburton from and against any and all Restructuring Taxes and from and against any costs whatsoever connected with such Taxes, including, but not limited to, fees, interest, penalties, and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees. For purposes of this Section 5.12(a)(i), a Restructuring Tax is attributable to a Tainting Act if (1) such Tax would not have been imposed but for the Tainting Act, or (2) the Tainting Act would have
independently caused the imposition of such Tax; provided, however, that in no event shall a Restructuring Tax be considered attributable to a Tainting Act to the extent such Tax would not have been incurred but for a breach by Halliburton of any
warranty, representation or covenant contained in Article VII hereof.

 Tax Sharing Agreement 
 Between Halliburton Co. and KBR, Inc. 
  

 (ii) An indemnification payment required to be made by one Party pursuant to
Section 5.12(a) hereof shall be paid in immediately available funds within thirty (30) days after receiving a written demand from the other Party for such payment; however, no Party shall make a written demand for an indemnification
payment attributable to Restructuring Taxes under Section 5.12(a) hereof until such Tax liability is established by a Final Determination. Any indemnification payment required to be made by either Party under Section 5.12(a) hereof which
is not paid timely shall bear interest (compounded daily) at the Federal short-term rate or rates established pursuant to Section 6621 of the Code for the period during which such payment is due but unpaid. 
 (b) Dual Consolidated Losses. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, whether before or during the Deconsolidation Year, to the
extent a member of the KBR Group is responsible for a triggering event (as defined in Treasury Regulations § 1.1503-2(g)(2)(iii)(A)) that causes Halliburton to recapture and report as income for any Tax period the amount of a dual consolidated
loss (as defined in Treasury Regulations § 1.1503-2), KBR shall pay to Halliburton on a timely basis any Tax attributable to the recapture of such dual consolidated loss. KBR hereby assumes all liability for any such Tax and shall indemnify and
hold harmless Halliburton and any member of the Halliburton Group for such liability; provided, however, to the extent any such recapture is attributable to a triggering event resulting from the Spinoff, KBR shall not be liable for any Tax resulting
from such recapture. 
 (c) Group Relief. 
 (i) In the event a Final Determination causes Halliburton or any member of the ESG Group to recognize additional income directly as a result of the reduction of a KBR Group Relief Tax Attribute, then KBR shall pay to
Halliburton, on a timely basis, the amount of additional Tax incurred by Halliburton or any member of the ESG Group that is directly attributable to the loss of the KBR Group Relief Tax Attribute. KBR shall not be required to indemnify Halliburton
or any member of the ESG Group for a reduction in the KBR Group Relief Tax Attribute that results from the Spinoff. 
 (ii) No later than 90
days following the filing of any U.K. Tax Return, Halliburton shall pay to KBR an amount equal to the product of: (x) the aggregate amount of Group Relief that was surrendered to Halliburton or any member of the ESG Group multiplied by
(y) the highest U.K. Corporation Tax rate applicable to corporations at the time the Group Relief was surrendered by the KBR Group. 
 (iii) The provisions of Section 3.14, this Section 5.12(c) and Section 6.05 are intended to be the exclusive governing provisions with respect to indemnification and compensation rights and obligations among the parties
relating to U.K. Group Relief. 
 (d) Refunds. Each Party shall be entitled to retain or be paid all refunds of Tax received, whether
in the form of payment, credit or otherwise, from any Tax Authority with respect to any Tax for which such Party is responsible under this Article V. 
 (e) Allocation of Taxable Items. Halliburton shall determine the amounts of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit of the KBR Group for the Pre-Deconsolidation Period that are 
  

 - 20 - 










 Tax Sharing Agreement 
 Between Halliburton Co. and KBR, Inc. 
  

 properly includible in the Consolidated Return for the taxable year which includes the Deconsolidation Date. For all
relevant purposes of this Agreement, the members of the KBR Group and each KBR Combined Group shall cease to be members of the Consolidated Group as of the end of the Deconsolidation Date, and the KBR Group shall cause the book of account of the KBR
Group to be closed for accounting and Tax purposes as of the end of the Deconsolidation Date in accordance with Halliburton’s direction. In determining consolidated taxable income for the taxable period that ends on the Deconsolidation Date,
the income and other items of the KBR Group shall be determined in good faith by Halliburton in accordance with Treasury Regulations §§ 1.1502-76(b)(1), 1.1502-76(b)(2)(i) and 1.1502-76(b)(2)(iv) and no election shall be made under §
1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii)(D) to ratably allocate items. However, an allocation shall be made in good faith by Halliburton under Treasury Regulations § 1.1502-76(b)(2)(iii) if such allocation is determined by Halliburton in good faith to be necessary
to appropriately allocate items in the event the Deconsolidation Date occurs on any date other than the last day of any month. 
 (f)
Foreign Tax Credit True-Up. With respect to the Deconsolidation Year, no later than ninety (90) days following the filing of a Consolidated Return, an amended Consolidated Return or a final settlement with the U.S. Internal Revenue
Service, Halliburton shall determine the aggregate amount of the “Foreign Tax Credit Adjustment.” The Foreign Tax Credit Adjustment shall be equal to (x) the aggregate amount of foreign Taxes paid or accrued by members of the KBR
Group and allowable as foreign tax credits for United States federal income tax purposes for the period commencing January 1, 2001, and ending on the Deconsolidation Date (the “KBR Foreign Taxes”), minus (y) the sum of
(i) the aggregate amount during such period of KBR Foreign Taxes used to reduce (either as a deduction or credit) the KBR Group’s Federal Income Tax Liability pursuant to Section 3.04 and Section 5.04 hereof, (ii) the
aggregate amount during such period of credit that the KBR Group received with respect to KBR Foreign Taxes pursuant to Section 3.09 and Section 5.09 hereof, and (iii) the aggregate amount during such period of KBR Foreign Taxes
allocated to the KBR Group upon Deconsolidation pursuant to Treasury Regulations § 1.1502-79(d). If such Foreign Tax Credit Adjustment is a positive amount, Halliburton shall pay such amount to the KBR Group. The payment in the preceding
sentence shall be due within ninety (90) days following the earlier of (a) the filing of the federal income Tax Return on which Halliburton realizes a benefit for the KBR Foreign Taxes or (b) the filing of the federal income Tax
Return on which KBR could have utilized the foreign tax credits, were KBR in possession of such foreign tax credits. For purposes of this agreement, a benefit for KBR Foreign Taxes is considered to be realized by Halliburton only when all available
Halliburton/ESG Group foreign tax credits (except ESG Group foreign tax credits carried back) have been utilized. If the amount determined pursuant to this Section 5.12(f) is a negative amount, the KBR Group shall pay such amount to
Halliburton. If such negative amount is the result of a foreign tax credit carried forward pursuant to Treasury Regulations § 1.1502-79(d), such payment shall be due no sooner than ninety (90) days following the filing of the federal
income Tax Return on which the KBR Group realizes the benefit associated with the foreign tax credit carryforward. 
 (g) KBR Group Tax
Losses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to tax years beginning on or after the Effective Date and ending prior to or on the Deconsolidation Date, no later than ninety (90) days following the filing
of a Consolidated Return, an amended Consolidated Return or a final settlement with the IRS, 
  

 - 21 - 










 Tax Sharing Agreement 
 Between Halliburton Co. and KBR, Inc. 
  

 Halliburton shall determine the aggregate amount of the “Loss Adjustment.” The Loss Adjustment shall be an
amount equal to: (x) the aggregate amount of Tax Attributes of the KBR Group reflected on the Consolidated Return that are net operating losses or net capital losses for the period commencing on the Effective Date through the Deconsolidation
Date (the “KBR Losses”) multiplied by thirty-five percent (35%); minus (y) the sum of: (i) the aggregate amount during such period of reduction of the KBR Group’s U.S. federal income tax liability pursuant to
Section 3.04 and Section 5.04 hereof resulting from the KBR Losses, (ii) the aggregate amount during such period of credit that the KBR Group received with respect to the KBR Losses pursuant to Section 3.09 and Section 5.09
hereof, and (iii) the aggregate amount during such period of KBR Losses allocated to the KBR Group upon Deconsolidation pursuant to Treasury Regulations §§ 1.1502-21 and 1.1502-22(b) multiplied by thirty-five percent (35%). If the
Loss Adjustment pursuant to the preceding sentence is a positive amount, Halliburton shall pay to KBR an amount equal to the Loss Adjustment when Halliburton realizes a tax benefit from using the KBR Losses. Such payment shall be reduced by an
amount equal to the tax benefit that Halliburton otherwise would have realized by the use of a Tax Attribute of a member of the ESG Group (a “Displaced ESG Tax Attribute”) that would have been used if the KBR Losses had not been included
in the Consolidated Return or final settlement with the IRS. When a Displaced ESG Tax Attribute is used, Halliburton shall then pay KBR an amount equal to the tax benefit realized from the use of the Displaced ESG Tax Attribute by Halliburton. For
purposes of this Section 5.12(g), Displaced ESG Tax Attributes shall be considered used and Halliburton shall be treated as recognizing a tax benefit from such use (i) when they are applied to a Consolidated Return of the Halliburton
Affiliated Group or ESG Group to reduce the consolidated tax liability of the Halliburton Affiliated Group or ESG Group; or (ii) when they are allocated to a member of the Halliburton Affiliated Group or ESG Group that is no longer consolidated
with the Halliburton Affiliated Group or ESG Group. Payments required under this Section 5.12(g) shall be made within 90 days of filing a Consolidated Return where Halliburton has realized the tax benefit from using KBR Losses or a Displaced
ESG Tax Attribute. 
 Section 5.13 Tax Attributes of KBR Not Carried Back. With respect to any Tax Attributes incurred by the KBR
Group in a Post-Deconsolidation Period, KBR shall not, and shall cause each member of the KBR Group to not, elect to carry back Tax Attributes to a Pre-Deconsolidation Period. In the event the applicable Tax law requires a Tax Attribute of the KBR
Group arising in a Post-Deconsolidation Period to be carried back to a Pre-Deconsolidation Period Tax Return of Halliburton or other member of the Halliburton Group (such Tax Attribute being a “Required Tax Attribute Carryback”), KBR shall
notify Halliburton of such Required Tax Attribute Carryback sixty (60) days prior to the date such Tax Return must be filed and KBR shall timely provide Halliburton with all information reasonably necessary to properly account for such Required
Tax Attribute Carryback on such Tax Return. If a Required Tax Attribute Carryback that is reported on a Tax Return filed by Halliburton or other member of the Halliburton Group produces an actual Tax savings to Halliburton or other member of the
Halliburton Group, Halliburton shall pay KBR an amount equal to such savings within sixty (60) days following the filing of such Tax Return.

 (iii) In the event that a judgment of the United States Tax Court or other court of competent jurisdiction results in an adverse
determination with respect to the KBR Restructuring Issue, and Halliburton notifies KBR that it does not intend to appeal such KBR Restructuring Issue, then KBR shall have the right to cause Halliburton to appeal from such adverse determination at
KBR’s expense. 
 (iv) KBR and its representatives, at KBR’s expense, shall be entitled to participate in

 ARTICLE
VII. 
 WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS; INDEMNITY 
 Section 7.01 Warranties and Representations Relating to Actions of Halliburton and KBR. Each of Halliburton and KBR warrants and represents
to the other that: 
 (a) it is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware
and has all requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties, to carry on its business as presently conducted and to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; 
 (b) it has duly and validly taken all corporate action necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; 
 (c) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by it and constitutes its
legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms subject, as to the enforcement of remedies, to (i) applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement or
creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect and (ii) to general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity; and 
 (d) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or the compliance with any of the provisions
of this Agreement will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach of any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws, (ii) breach, violate or result in a default under any of the terms of any agreement or other instrument or
obligation to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets may be bound, or (iii) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to it or affecting any of its properties or assets.

 Section 7.02 Warranties and Representations Relating to the Distribution. 
 (a) In General. Each of the Parties represents that, as of the date of this Agreement, it knows of no fact (after due inquiry) that may cause the
Tax treatment of the Distribution to be other than a distribution of KBR stock with respect to which no gain or loss is recognized by Halliburton, KBR or their respective stockholders pursuant to Section 355 and related provisions of the Code
and relevant Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (such distribution a “Tax Free Spinoff”). 
 (b) No Contrary Plan.
Each of the Parties represents that it has no plan or intent to take any action which is inconsistent with the treatment of the Distribution as a Tax Free Spinoff.

 Between Halliburton Co. and KBR, Inc. 
  

 Section 7.03 Covenants Relating to the Tax Treatment of the Distribution. 
 (a) In General. The Parties intend the Distribution to qualify as a Tax Free Spinoff. 
 (i) During the Restricted Period, KBR shall not permit or take any action within its control (including entering into any agreement,
understanding or arrangement or any negotiations with respect to any transactions or series of transactions) that, or fail to take any action within its control the failure of which, would cause the Distribution to fail to qualify as a Tax Free
Spinoff (any such action or failure to act, a “Disqualifying Action”). 
 (ii) For the avoidance of doubt, and
without limitation, Disqualifying Actions include (1) KBR causing or permitting to be caused a change in its Control or (2) KBR ceasing the active conduct of a trade or business within the meaning of Section 355(b) of the Code to the
extent the existence of such trade or business was necessary to a conclusion reached by the IRS in the Private Letter Ruling or a conclusion reached by Tax Counsel in the Tax Opinion, unless Halliburton consents in writing to such action, unless
expressly required or permitted pursuant to the Master Separation Agreement or Master Separation and Distribution Agreement (as applicable), or unless, for actions after the Distribution Date, KBR first obtains, and permits Halliburton to review,
either a supplemental ruling from the IRS or an opinion from a nationally recognized law firm reasonably acceptable to Halliburton, in either case, to the effect that such action or non-action referred to in this Section 7.03(a)(ii) will not
affect the qualification of the Distribution as a Tax Free Spinoff. 
 (iii) During the Restricted Period, except for
transactions contemplated by the Master Separation Agreement or Master Separation and Distribution Agreement (as applicable), KBR shall not take any action within its control, taken alone or together with any other action (including entering into
any agreement, understanding or arrangement or any negotiations with respect to any transactions or series of transactions), that, or fail to take any action within its control the failure of which, would result in a more than immaterial possibility
that the Distribution would be treated as part of a plan pursuant to which one or more persons acquire directly or indirectly KBR stock representing a “50-percent or greater interest” within the meaning of Section 355(e)(4) of the
Code (any such action or failure to act, a “Potential Disqualifying Action”), unless, prior to the taking of the Potential Disqualifying Action, KBR delivers to Halliburton either a private letter ruling from the IRS reasonably acceptable
to Halliburton (a “Subsequent Ruling”) or an opinion from a nationally recognized law firm reasonably acceptable to Halliburton (a “Subsequent Opinion”), in either case, to the effect that the Potential Disqualifying Action would
not cause the Distribution to cease to qualify as a Tax Free Spinoff. 
 (iv) For the avoidance of doubt, and without
limitation, each of the following constitutes a Potential Disqualifying Action pursuant to Section 7.03(a)(iii) hereof: 
 (1) The merger or consolidation of KBR with or into any other corporation; 
  

 - 28 - 










 Tax Sharing Agreement 
 Between Halliburton Co. and KBR, Inc. 
  

 (2) The liquidation or partial liquidation of KBR (within the meaning of such terms
as defined in Section 346 and Section 302, respectively, of the Code); 
 (3) The sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of KBR’s assets (within the meaning of Rev. Proc. 77-37, 1977-2 C.B. 568) in a single transaction or series of related transactions; 
 (4) The redemption or other repurchase of any of KBR’s capital stock (other than in connection with future employee benefit plans or pursuant to a future market purchase program involving five (5) percent or
less of its publicly traded stock); or 
 (5) The change in KBR’s equity structure (including stock issuances, pursuant
to the exercise of options, the vesting of restricted stock units or otherwise, option grants, the adoption of, or authorization of shares under a stock option plan, grants of restricted stock or stock units, capital contributions or acquisition);
provided, however, that stock issuances pursuant to and awards under the KBR, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan or the Transitional Stock Adjustment Plan related to conversions of awards made with respect to Halliburton stock shall not be
considered a change in KBR’s equity structure for purposes of this Section 7.03(a)(iv)(5); 
 unless such action is expressly
required or permitted pursuant to the Master Separation Agreement or Master Separation and Distribution Agreement (as applicable) or unless KBR first delivers to Halliburton a Subsequent Ruling or a Subsequent Opinion, both reasonably acceptable to
Halliburton, in either case, to the effect that the action would not cause the Distribution to cease to qualify as a Tax Free Spinoff. 
 (b)
Notice of Events That Could Affect the Tax Treatment of the Distribution and Right to Enjoin. 
 (i) Subject to
Section 7.03(b)(iii) hereof, until the first day after the second anniversary of the Distribution, KBR shall give Halliburton at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of KBR’s intention to effect any transaction with respect to
KBR’s capital structure, whether through issuance, redemption or otherwise if and to the extent there is more than an immaterial possibility that such transaction would constitute a Disqualifying Action. Each such notice shall set forth the
necessary terms and conditions of the proposed transaction, including, as applicable, the nature of any related action proposed to be taken, the approximate number of shares proposed to be issued, redeemed or transferred (directly or indirectly, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 355(e) of the Code), all with sufficient particularity to enable Halliburton to review and comment on the effect of such transaction with respect to Section 355(e) of the Code. Because the damages
that may result to Halliburton will be difficult to quantify, in the event Halliburton obtains an opinion from a nationally recognized law firm that the proposed transaction described in this Section 7.03(b)(i) would more likely than not
constitute a Disqualifying Action, Halliburton shall have the right to enjoin KBR from

 Between Halliburton Co. and KBR, Inc. 
  

 entering into such transaction, and upon ten (10) business days prior written notice from
Halliburton of its desire to enjoin such transaction, KBR shall not enter into such transaction; provided, however, that Halliburton will not waive its right to recover damages for breach of this Agreement if KBR is not enjoined from engaging in the
proposed transaction. 
 (ii) If KBR receives a Subsequent Opinion or Subsequent Ruling, KBR shall notify Halliburton and (if
Halliburton is not otherwise provided a copy) provide Halliburton promptly with a copy of such Subsequent Opinion or Subsequent Ruling, but in any event with ten (10) business days after the receipt of the Subsequent Opinion or Subsequent
Ruling. 
 (iii) Notice shall not be required under Section 7.03(b)(i) hereof with respect to the grant and/or exercise
of any stock option, stock, stock-based compensation or other employment related arrangements arising in the ordinary course of business that have customary terms and conditions consistent with past practice (a “Compensatory Transaction”)
if the Compensatory Transaction satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulations § 1.355-7(d)(8), or, if in the case of options, if (A) the exercise price is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the stock subject to the
option on the date of grant or issuance and (B) such option does not have a readily ascertainable fair market value within the meaning of Treasury Regulations § 1.83-7. 
 (iv) Each Party shall furnish the other with a copy of any document of information that reasonably could be expected to affect treatment
of the Distribution as a Tax Free Spinoff. 
 (v) All information provided by any Party to the other Party pursuant to this
Section 7.03(b) shall be kept confidential pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 8.12 hereof. 
 (c) Cooperation
Relating to the Tax Treatment of the Distribution. 
 (i) Each Party shall cooperate with the other and shall take such
actions reasonably requested by such other Party in connection with obtaining either a Subsequent Ruling or Subsequent Opinion. Such cooperation shall include providing any information, representations and/or covenants reasonably requested by the
requesting Party to enable such Party to obtain, or maintain the validity of, either a Subsequent Ruling or Subsequent Opinion. From and after any date on which a Party makes any representation or covenant to counsel for the purpose of obtaining a
Subsequent Opinion or to the IRS for the purpose of obtaining a Subsequent Ruling and until the first day after the second anniversary (or such later date as may be agreed upon at the time such representations and/or covenants are made) of the date
of such Subsequent Ruling or Subsequent Opinion, the party making such representation or covenant shall take no action that would have caused such representation to be untrue or covenant to be breached unless Halliburton determines, in its
reasonable discretion, which discretion shall be exercised in good faith solely to ensure that the Distribution constitutes a Tax Free Spinoff, that such action would not cause the Distribution to fail to qualify as a Tax Free Spinoff.

 (ii) KBR shall not file any request for a Subsequent Ruling with respect to the
treatment of the Distribution as a Tax Free Spinoff without the prior written consent of Halliburton, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, if a favorable Subsequent Ruling would be reasonably likely to have an adverse effect
on Halliburton. 
 (d) Each Party agrees that it will not take any position on a Tax Return that is inconsistent with the treatment of the
Distribution as a Tax Free Spinoff. 
 (e) Each Party agrees (i) not to take any action reasonably expected to result in an increased
Tax liability to the other Party under this Agreement and (ii) to take any action reasonably requested by the other Party that would reasonably be expected to result in a Tax benefit or avoid a Tax detriment to such other Party; provided, in
either such case, that the taking or refraining to take such action does not result in any additional cost not fully compensated for by the other Party or any other adverse effect to such Party. The Parties hereby acknowledge that the preceding
sentence is not intended to limit, and therefore shall not apply to, the rights of the parties with respect to matters otherwise covered by this Agreement. 
 (f) For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including, but not limited to, Section 7.14), KBR will be responsible for any Taxes of a member of the Halliburton Group
arising from the change of Control of KBR even if (i) Halliburton or KBR, (ii) one or more officers or directors acting on behalf of Halliburton or KBR, or (iii) another person or persons with the implicit or explicit permission of
one or more officers or directors of Halliburton or KBR held discussions with third parties for the sale of the stock of KBR prior to the Distribution. 
 (g) For the avoidance of doubt, KBR will not be responsible for any Taxes of a member of the Halliburton Group arising from the change of Control of Halliburton. 
 Section 7.04 Spinoff Indemnification. 
 (a) In General. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Article VII shall govern all matters among the Parties hereto related to an Indemnified Liability (as defined in Section 7.05 below) and an
Indemnity Amount (as defined in Section 7.07 below). 
 (b) Indemnification Obligation. If either Party breaches any warranty,
representation or covenant set forth in Sections 7.02, 7.03, 7.13 or 7.14 of this Agreement and the Distribution shall fail to qualify as a Tax Free Spinoff as a result of such breach, then such Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall
indemnify and hold harmless the other Party against any and all federal, state, local and foreign Taxes, interest, penalties and additions to Tax imposed upon or incurred by Halliburton, the Halliburton Group, KBR or the KBR Group, as the case may
be (each such party an “Indemnified Party”), as a result of the failure of the Distribution to qualify as a Tax Free Spinoff, to the extent provided herein.

 Between Halliburton Co. and KBR, Inc. 
  

 Section 7.05 Indemnified Liability –Spinoff. For purposes of this Agreement, the
term “Indemnified Liability” means any liability imposed upon or incurred by (1) Halliburton or any member of the Halliburton Group, for which Halliburton or any other member of the Halliburton Group is indemnified and held harmless
under Section 7.04(b), or (2) KBR or any member of the KBR Group, for which KBR or any other member of the KBR Group is indemnified and held harmless under Section 7.04(b). 
 Section 7.06 Amount of Indemnified Liability for Income Taxes – Spinoff. The amount of an Indemnified Liability for a federal, state,
local or foreign Tax incurred by an Indemnified Party based on or determined with reference to income shall be deemed to be the amount of Tax computed by multiplying (i) the Tax Authority’s highest effective Tax rate applicable to the
Indemnified Party for the character of the Tax Item subject to Tax as a result of the failure of the Distribution to qualify as a Tax Free Spinoff for the taxable period in which the Distribution occurs, times (ii) the gain or income of the
Indemnified Party which is subject to Tax in the Tax Authority’s jurisdiction as a result of such failure, and (iii) in the case of a state, times the percentage representing the extent to which such gain or income is apportioned or
allocated to such state; provided, however, that in the case of a state Tax determined as a percentage of Federal income Tax liability, the amount of Indemnified Liability shall be deemed to be the amount of Tax computed by multiplying (x) that
state’s highest effective rate applicable to the Indemnified Party for the character of the Tax Item subject to Tax as a result of the failure of the Distribution to qualify as a Tax Free Spinoff for the taxable period in which the Distribution
occurs, times (y) the gain or income of the Indemnified Party which is subject to federal income Tax as a result of such failure, times (z) the percentage representing the extent to which the gain or income required to be recognized on the
Distribution is apportioned to such state. 
 Section 7.07 Indemnity Amount – Spinoff. With respect to any Indemnified
Liability, the amount which the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party as indemnification (the “Indemnity Amount”) shall be the sum of (i) the amount of the Indemnified Liability, as determined under Section 7.06,
(ii) any penalties and interest imposed with respect to the Indemnified Liability and (iii) an amount such that when the sum of the amounts set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and this clause (iii) of this Section 7.07 are
reduced by all Taxes imposed as a result of the receipt of such sum, (taking into account any related current credits or deductions available to the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates under any law or Tax Authority) the reduced amount is
equal to the sum of the amounts set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 7.07. 
 Section 7.08 Additional
Indemnity Remedy – Spinoff. Each of the Parties recognizes that any failure by it to comply with its obligations under this Article VII may result in additional Taxes which could cause irreparable harm to Halliburton, its shareholders, the
Halliburton Group, and/or KBR and the KBR Group, and that such entities may be inadequately compensated by monetary damages for such failure. Accordingly, if (A) (i) a Party shall fail to comply with any obligation under this Article VII
which would be reasonably foreseeable to result in any additional Taxes and (ii) such Party shall fail to provide the other Party with an opinion from a nationally recognized law firm, such opinion, upon timely review being approved by the
other Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), that the failure to comply with such obligation will not result in any increase in Taxes of Halliburton, its 
  

 - 32 - 










 Tax Sharing Agreement 
 Between Halliburton Co. and KBR, Inc. 
  

 shareholders, any member of the Halliburton Group, on the one hand, or KBR or any member of the KBR Group, on the
other hand, as the case may be, or if (B) it is probable in the written legal opinion of a nationally recognized law firm that the failure by such Party to comply with any such obligation under this Article VII will result in an Indemnified
Liability under this Agreement and the Indemnifying Party fails to provide Adequate Assurances to the Indemnified Party of its ability to pay the Indemnity Amount under this Agreement, then Halliburton or KBR, as the case may be, shall be entitled
to injunctive relief in the manner described in Section 8.03 hereof, in addition to all other remedies. 
 Section 7.09
Calculation of Indemnity Payments. Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement, to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has an indemnification or payment obligation to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnified
Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with its calculation of the amount of such obligation. The documentation of such calculation shall provide sufficient detail to permit the Indemnifying Party to reasonably understand the calculation. All
indemnification payments shall be made to the Indemnified Party or to the appropriate Tax Authority as specified by the Indemnified Party within the time prescribed for payment in this Agreement, or if no period is prescribed, within thirty
(30) days after delivery by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party of written notice of an indemnification obligation, or if the Tax liability giving rise to an Indemnified Liability is contested pursuant to Section 6.01(c) of
this Agreement, within thirty (30) days of a Final Determination with respect to such Indemnified Liability. Any disputes with respect to indemnification payments shall be resolved in accordance with Section 8.11 below. 
 Section 7.10 Prompt Performance. All actions required to be taken by any Party under this Agreement shall be performed within the time
prescribed for performance in this Agreement, or if no period is prescribed, such actions shall be performed promptly. 
 Section 7.11
Interest. Payments pursuant to this Agreement that are not made within the period prescribed in Section 7.09 shall bear interest (compounded daily) from and including the date immediately following the last date of such period through
and including the date of payment at a rate equal to the Federal short-term rate or rates established pursuant to Section 6621 of the Code for the period during which such payment is due but unpaid. 
 Section 7.12 Tax Records. The Parties to this Agreement hereby agree to retain and provide on proper demand by any Tax Authority (subject to
any applicable privileges) the books, records, documentation and other information relating to any Tax Return until the later of (a) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any extension, waiver or mitigation
thereof), (b) the date specified in an applicable records retention agreement entered into with the IRS, (c) a Final Determination made with respect to such Tax Return and (d) the final resolution of any claim made under this
Agreement for which such information is relevant. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, no Party may destroy any such records without the approval of all other Parties to this Agreement as described in section 6.02 hereof.

 Section 7.15 Continuing Covenants. Each Party agrees (1) not to take any
action reasonably expected to result in a new or changed Tax Item that is detrimental to the other Party and (2) to take any action reasonably requested by the other Party that would reasonably be expected to result in a new or changed Tax Item

construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed in the State of Delaware. 
 Section 8.11 Resolution of Certain Disputes. Any disagreement between the Parties with respect to any matter that is the subject of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any disagreement with respect to any calculation

information to any other person, except its auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other consultants and advisors who shall be advised of the provisions of this Agreement. Each Party shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to

any such invalidity or unenforceability in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. All other remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for
the particular jurisdiction and all other jurisdictions. 
 Section 8.16 Entire Agreement; Termination of Prior Agreements.

 (a) This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other
agreements, whether or not written, in respect of any Tax between or among any member or members of the Halliburton Group, on the one hand, and any member or members of the KBR Group, on the other hand. All such other agreements, including, but not
