including any substitute or successor thereto (the “Committee”), has awarded you TARP Restricted
Stock Units (“RSUs”), based on the Committee’s assessment of your performance. This award
agreement (this “Award Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions of your award (this
“Award”).

          1. Status of Award; Defined Terms. This Award is being provided to you as an employee
subject to the Determination Memorandum of the Special Master, dated as of October 22, 2009 (the
Determination”). To comply with the Determination and with certain requirements in the applicable
to you under the TARP Standards for Compensation and Corporate Governance, Interim Final Rule, 31
C.F.R. Part 30 (the “Rule”), the Award is intended to be a grant of “long-term restricted stock” as
defined in the Rule. The Award shall be interpreted in accordance with these intentions.
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Award Agreement have the meanings given in
the attached Glossary of Terms.

          2. Award. The number of RSUs subject to this Award is set forth at the end of this
Award Agreement. Each RSU constitutes an unfunded and unsecured promise of AIG to deliver (or
cause to be delivered) to you, subject to the terms of this Award Agreement, cash equal to the Fair
Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Payout Date as provided herein.

          3. Vesting; Payout.

          (a) Vesting. Except as provided in this Paragraph 3 and in Paragraphs 4, 5, 6 and 7,
you shall become vested in the RSUs on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant specified at the
end of this Award Agreement (the “Scheduled Vesting Date”). Except as provided in this Paragraph 3
and Paragraph 6, if your Employment terminates for any reason prior to the Scheduled Vesting Date,
your rights in respect of all of your RSUs shall terminate, and no cash shall be paid in respect of
such RSUs.

          (b) Payment Dates. Subject to Paragraph 8, the RSUs shall not be payable prior to the
Scheduled Vesting Date. Once vested, the RSUs shall become payable on the first date at which:

     (i) With respect to 25% of the RSUs, AIG has repaid at least of 25% of the
aggregate financial assistance received under the Troubled Asset Relief Program
(“TARP”);

     (ii) With respect to an additional 25% of the RSUs (for an aggregate total of
50% of the RSUs), AIG has repaid at least 50% of the aggregate financial assistance
received under TARP;

     (iii) With respect to an additional 25% of the RSUs (for an aggregate
total of 75% of the RSUs), AIG has repaid 75% of the aggregate financial assistance
received under TARP; and

 

 

     (iv) With respect to the remainder of the RSUs, AIG has repaid 100% of
the aggregate financial assistance received under the TARP (such date and the payment dates
set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Paragraph 3(b), each a “Payout Date”).

          (c) Payout. Except as provided in this Paragraph 3 and in Paragraphs 4, 5, 7, 8 and
9, the RSUs shall be paid on or promptly following the Payout Date, and in any case within 30 days
of the Payout Date.

          (d) Death. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement, if you die,
the condition set forth in Paragraph 3(a) shall be waived with respect to your then-unvested RSUs
(such that any then-unvested outstanding RSUs shall vest) and the cash corresponding to your
outstanding RSUs shall be paid to the representative of your estate promptly after the later of
your death and the Payout Date.

          (e) Delay of Payment. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, defer payment of
RSUs or permit you to elect to defer payment of RSUs, in each case in a manner that conforms to the
requirements of Section 409A(a)(4) of the Code.

          4. Termination of RSUs.

          (a) Except as provided in Paragraphs 3(d) and 6, your rights in respect of your outstanding
unvested RSUs shall immediately terminate, and no cash shall be paid in respect of such unvested
RSUs, if at any time prior to the Scheduled Vesting Date your Employment with AIG terminates for
any reason, or you are otherwise no longer actively Employed by AIG.

          (b) Unless the Committee determines otherwise, and except as further provided in Paragraph 5,
your rights in respect of all of your RSUs (whether or not vested) shall immediately terminate, and
no cash shall be paid in respect of such RSUs, if at any time prior to the Payout Date:

          (i) you attempt to have any dispute under this Award Agreement or the Plan resolved in
any manner that is not provided for by Paragraph 15; or

          (ii) any event that constitutes Cause has occurred; or

          (iii) you in any manner, directly or indirectly, (A) Solicit any Client to transact
business with a Competitive Enterprise or to reduce or refrain from doing any business with
AIG or (B) interfere with or damage (or attempt to interfere with or damage) any
relationship between AIG and any such Client or (C) Solicit any person who is an employee
of AIG to resign from AIG or to apply for or accept employment with any Competitive
Enterprise; or

          (iv) you fail to certify to AIG, in accordance with procedures established by the
Committee, that you have complied, or the Committee determines that you have failed to
comply, with all of the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement as of the Payout Date.
By accepting the

-2-

 

payment of cash under this Award Agreement, you shall be deemed to have represented
and certified at such time that you have complied with all the terms and conditions of this
Award Agreement.

          (c) Unless the Committee determines otherwise, if the Payout Date in respect of any of your
outstanding RSUs occurs and you have not complied with the conditions or your obligations under
Paragraph 4(b)(iv), all of your rights with respect to your outstanding RSUs shall terminate
immediately.

          5. Repayment and Clawback.

          (a) If, following the payment of cash, the Committee determines that all terms and conditions
of this Award Agreement in respect of such payment were not satisfied, AIG shall be entitled to
receive, and you shall be obligated to pay AIG immediately upon demand therefor, the amount of cash
paid with respect to the Payout Date, net of any taxes withheld.

          (b) If AIG determines that this Award or any payment made pursuant to this Award was based on
materially inaccurate financial statements (which includes, but is not limited to, statements of
earnings, revenues or gains) or any other materially inaccurate performance metric criteria, then
(i) the RSUs shall be forfeited or, and (ii) following payment of the RSUs, AIG shall be entitled
to receive, and you shall be obligated to repay AIG immediately upon demand therefor, the amount of
cash paid with respect to the Payout Date. The repayment described in clause (ii) of this
Paragraph 5(b) shall be net of any taxes withheld on the original payment to you, except to the
extent that a greater payment is required by the Rule or the Determination. AIG will determine
whether a financial statement or other performance metric criteria is materially inaccurate in
accordance with the standards set forth in § 30.8 of the Rule, or any similar or successor
provision applicable to AIG and in effect from time to time.

          6. Disability.

          (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement, but subject to Paragraph
5(b), if you become subject to Disability, the condition set forth in Paragraph 3(a) shall be
waived with respect to your then outstanding unvested RSUs (such that any then-unvested outstanding
RSUs shall vest) and the cash corresponding to your outstanding RSUs shall be paid to you promptly
after the later of the date you become subject to Disability and the Payout Date, but all other
conditions of this Award Agreement shall continue to apply.

          (b) Without limiting the application of Paragraph 3(b) or Paragraph 3(c), your rights in
respect of any outstanding RSUs that become vested solely by reason of Paragraph 6(a) shall
terminate, and no cash shall be paid in respect of such outstanding RSUs if, following your
becoming subject to Disability and prior to the payment of cash in respect of such outstanding
RSUs, you (i) form, or acquire a 5% or greater equity ownership, voting or profit participation
interest in, any Competitive Enterprise or (ii) associate in any capacity (including, but not

with any Competitive Enterprise.

Award (or any rights and obligations hereunder) may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, assigned,
pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or hedged in any manner (including through the use
of any cash-settled instrument), whether voluntarily or involuntarily and whether by operation of
law or otherwise, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any sale,
exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition in violation of this
Paragraph 7 will be null and void and if this Award is hedged in any manner it will immediately be
forfeited. All of the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement will be binding upon any
permitted successors and assigns.

          (a) You shall be solely responsible for any applicable taxes (including, without limitation,
income and excise taxes) and penalties, and any interest that accrues thereon, incurred in
connection with your Award. Unless you otherwise direct, AIG will satisfy applicable tax
withholdings and make applicable deductions in respect of your Award and pay cash pursuant to
Paragraph 3(c) in respect of the remainder. In the alternative, you may remit cash to AIG (through
payroll deduction or otherwise), in each case in an amount sufficient in the opinion of AIG to
satisfy such withholding obligation.

          (b) With respect to any Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax or other employment
taxes that may be due in respect of your Award, AIG may accelerate the payout of RSUs under this
Award Agreement in order to satisfy such taxes.

reasonable satisfaction of the Committee of any required Consent that the Committee may reasonably
determine to be necessary or advisable.

          (d) No Award granted under this Award Agreement will increase the amounts payable to you
pursuant to AIG’s severance plans and arrangements.

          9. Section 409A. The RSUs are intended to be paid on or promptly following the first

guidance provided in the Rule and in IRS Notice 2009-92 (the “Guidance”).

          10. No Rights to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Award Agreement shall be
construed as giving you any right to continued Employment by AIG or affect any right that AIG may
have to terminate or alter the terms and conditions of your Employment.

limitation, whether you have become subject to Disability), and its interpretations, actions and
determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive.

          13. Amendment. The Committee reserves the right at any time to amend the terms and
conditions set forth in this Award Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such
amendment shall materially adversely affect your rights and obligations under this Award Agreement
without your consent (or the consent of your estate, if such consent is obtained after your death),
and provided, further, that the Committee may not accelerate or postpone the payment of the cash
due in respect of RSUs to occur at a time other than the applicable time provided for in this Award
Agreement or in accordance with Paragraph 9. Any amendment of this Award Agreement shall be in
writing signed by an authorized member of the Committee or a person or persons designated by the
Committee.

          14. Adjustment. Subject to Paragraph 13, the Committee shall, in its sole discretion,

Stock resulting from a recapitalization, spin-off, split-off, stock split, stock dividend,
combination or exchange of shares of Common Stock, merger, consolidation, rights offering,
separation, reorganization or liquidation, or any other change in the corporate structure or shares
of AIG. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, decline to adjust
the terms of this Award if it determines that such adjustment would violate applicable law or
result in adverse tax consequences to you or to AIG.

          15. Arbitration; Choice of Forum.

          (a) Any dispute, controversy or claim between AIG and you, arising out of or relating to or

RELATING TO OR CONCERNING THIS AWARD AGREEMENT THAT IS NOT OTHERWISE ARBITRATED OR RESOLVED
ACCORDING TO PARAGRAPH 15(a) OF THIS AWARD AGREEMENT. This includes any suit, action or proceeding

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude AIG from bringing any action,
suit or proceeding in any other court for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this Paragraph
15.

          (c) The agreement by you and AIG as to forum is independent of the law that may be applied in
the action, suit or proceeding and you and AIG agree to such forum even if the forum may under
applicable law choose to apply non-forum law. You and AIG hereby waive, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, any objection which you or AIG now or hereafter may have to personal
jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any court referred
to in Paragraph 15(b). You and AIG undertake not to commence any action, suit or proceeding arising

in this Paragraph 15. You and (subject to the last sentence of Paragraph 15(b)) AIG agree that, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a final and non-appealable judgment in any such
suit, action or proceeding in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon you and AIG.

connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to or concerning this
Award Agreement which is not arbitrated pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 15(a), who shall

the prosecution or defense of the dispute).

          (f) You recognize and agree that prior to the grant of this Award you have no right to any
benefits hereunder. Accordingly, in consideration of the receipt of this Award, you expressly waive
any right to contest the amount of this Award, terms of this Award Agreement, any determination,

any claim related in any way to the Award including any claim based on any promissory estoppel or
other theory in connection with this Award and your Employment with AIG.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     This Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of the date set forth
on the signature page hereto (the “Effective Date”) by and between Weatherford
International Ltd., a Swiss joint-stock corporation registered in Switzerland, Canton of Zug (the
“Company”), and the individual signing as “Executive” on the signature page hereto (the
“Executive”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has previously determined that it is in the
best interests of the Company and its shareholders to retain the Executive and to induce the
employment of the Executive for the long-term benefit of the Company; and

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ the Executive on the terms set forth below
to provide services to the Company and its Affiliated companies, and the Executive is willing to
accept such continued employment and provide such services on the terms set forth in this
Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable
consideration, the parties hereto do hereby agree that:

1. Certain Definitions.

     (a) “Affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 12b-2 promulgated
under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

     (b) “Annual Bonus” shall mean the Executive’s annual bonus under the
then-current annual incentive plan of the Company and any of its Affiliated companies.

     (c) “Annual Bonus Amount” shall mean the sum of (i) the amount of the Annual
Bonus, if any, paid or provided in any form (whether in cash, securities or any combination
thereof) by the Company or any of its Affiliated companies to or for the benefit of the Executive
for services rendered or labor performed during a fiscal year of the Company and (ii) the amount of
the discretionary bonus or other bonus paid outside of the Company’s annual incentive plan, if any,
paid or provided in any form (whether in cash, securities or any combination thereof) by the
Company or any of its Affiliated companies to or for the benefit of the Executive (it being
understood that if multiple bonuses are paid for any given year, or if a bonus is made in multiple
installments for a year, all such bonuses or installments shall be aggregated as a single payment
for that year in determining the Annual Bonus Amount). The Executive’s Annual Bonus Amount shall be
determined by including any portion thereof that the Executive could have received in cash or
securities in lieu of (i) any elective deferrals made by the Executive pursuant to all nonqualified
deferred compensation plans or (ii) elective contributions made on the Executive’s behalf by the
Company pursuant to a qualified cash or deferred arrangement (as defined in section 401(k) of the
Code) or pursuant to a plan maintained under section 125 of the Code.

     (d) “Applicable Multiple” shall mean the number identified as such on the
signature page hereto.

     (e) “Beneficial Owner” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 13d-3 under
the Exchange Act.

     (f) “Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

 

     (g) “Cause” shall mean:

          (i) the willful and continued failure of the Executive to substantially perform the
Executive’s duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to
physical or mental illness or anticipated failure after the issuance of a Notice of Termination for
Good Reason by the Executive pursuant to Section 4(d)), after a written demand for
substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Board which specifically identifies
the manner in which the Executive has not substantially performed the Executive’s duties; or

          (ii) the Executive willfully engaging in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which
is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company.

     No act, or failure to act, on the part of the Executive shall be considered “willful”
unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable
belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any act,
or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or
upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer or of a more senior officer of the Company or
based upon the advice of counsel for the Company (which may be in-house counsel of the Company or
other counsel employed or engaged by the Company or its Subsidiaries) shall be conclusively
presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best
interests of the Company. The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be
for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution
duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters (3/4) of the entire membership
of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is
provided to the Executive, and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be
heard before the Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive is
guilty of the conduct described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, and specifying the particulars
thereof in detail.

     (h) “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if any event set
forth in any one of the following paragraphs shall have occurred:

          (i) any Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of twenty
percent (20%) or more of either (A) the then outstanding registered shares of the Company (the

benefits provided by the Company and its Affiliated companies to the estates and beneficiaries of

to the expiration of the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further
obligations to the Executive, other than the obligation to pay to the Executive (i) (A) the Accrued
Obligation and (B) the Benefit Obligation in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit
Plans, and (ii) his Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination for periods following his
Separation From Service on the date that is thirty (30) days following the date of the Executive’s
Separation From Service if he is not a Specified Employee or on the date that is six (6) months
following the date of his Separation From Service if he is a Specified Employee.

     (d) Termination by Executive Other Than for Good Reason. If the Executive
voluntarily terminates his employment during and prior to the expiration of the Employment Period
for any reason other than for Good Reason, the Executive’s employment shall terminate without
further obligations to the Executive, other than the obligation to pay to the Executive (i) the
Accrued Obligation, (ii) the Benefit Obligation, (iii) his Annual Base Salary through the Date of
Termination for periods following his Separation From Service, and (iv) the rights provided in
Section 6. The Accrued Obligation shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash
within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination and the Benefit Obligation shall be paid in
accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plans. The Company shall pay to the Executive the amount specified in clause (iii) on the
date that is thirty (30) days following the date of the Executive’s Separation From Service if he is not a
Specified Employee or on the

11

 

date that is six (6) months following the date of his Separation From
Service if he is a Specified Employee.

6. Other Rights.

     (a) Except as provided herein, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the
Executive’s continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by
the Company or any of its Affiliated companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall
anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any plan,
contract or agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliated companies. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, amounts which are vested benefits, which vest according to the terms of
this Agreement or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any Benefit Plans or
any other plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or any
of its Affiliated companies prior to, at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable
in accordance with such plan, policy, practice, program, contract or agreement. If any severance
payments are required to be paid to the Executive in conjunction with severance of employment under
federal, state or local law, the severance payments paid to the Executive under this Agreement will
be deemed to be in satisfaction of any such statutorily required benefit obligations to the extent
that doing so would not result in an acceleration of payment of nonqualified deferred compensation
that is prohibited under Section 409A.

     (b) Solely with respect to the ERP and the SERP, if the Executive’s employment is
terminated for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, and no Change of Control has occurred
or is pending, any ERP or SERP benefits payable shall only be those that are payable, if any, under
the terms of the ERP or SERP as of the Date of Termination.

7. Full Settlement.

     (a) No Rights of Offset. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for
in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may
have against the Executive or others.

     (b) No Mitigation Required. The Company agrees that, if the Executive’s employment
with the Company terminates, the Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt
in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to this
Agreement. Further, except as specified in Section 5(b)(ii), the amount of any payment or
benefit provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the
Executive as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset
against any amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company, or otherwise.

     (c) Legal Fees. The Company agrees to pay promptly as incurred, to the full extent
permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result
of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Company or the Executive of the validity
or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of
performance thereto (including as a result of any contest by the Executive about the amount of any
payment pursuant to this Agreement). The legal fees or expenses that are subject to reimbursement
pursuant to this Section 7(c) shall not be limited as a result of when the fees or expenses
are incurred. The amount of legal fees or expenses that is eligible for reimbursement pursuant to
this Section 7(c) during a given taxable year of the Executive shall not affect the amount
of expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year of
the Executive. The right to reimbursement pursuant to this Section 7(c) is not subject
to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Any amount to which the Executive is entitled to
reimbursement under this

12

 

Section 7(c) during the first six (6) months following the date of
the Executive’s Separation From Service shall be accumulated and paid to the Executive on the date
that is six (6) months following the date of his Separation From Service. All reimbursements by the
Company under this Section 7(c) shall be paid no later than the earlier of (i) the time
periods described above and (ii) the last day of the Executive’s taxable year next following the
taxable year in which the expense was incurred by the Executive.

8. Certain Additional Payments by the Company.

     (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if it shall be
determined that any payment or distribution by the Company or any of its Affiliated companies to or
for the benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, any other plan, agreement or contract or otherwise, but determined
without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 8) (a
“Payment”) would be subject to any additional tax or excise tax imposed by Sections 409A,
457A or 4999 of the Code (and any successor provisions or sections to Sections 409A, 457A and 4999)
or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such
excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to
as the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive shall be entitled to promptly receive from the
Company an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment
by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such
taxes), including without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with
respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount
of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Any Gross Up Payment
shall be made by the Company at least ten (10) days prior to the date that the Executive is
required to remit to the relevant taxing authority any federal, state and local taxes imposed upon
the Executive, including the amount of additional taxes imposed upon the Executive due to the
Company’s payment of the initial taxes on such amounts. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, any amounts to which the Executive would otherwise be entitled under
this Section 8(a) during the first six (6) months following the date of the Executive’s
Separation From Service shall be accumulated and paid to the Executive on the date that is six (6)
months following the date of his Separation From Service. All reimbursements by the Company under
this Section 8(a) be paid no later than the earlier of (i) the time periods described above
and (ii) the last day of the Executive’s taxable year next following the taxable year in which the
expense was incurred by the Executive.

     (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 8(c), all determinations required
to be made under this Section 8, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required
and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such
determination shall be made by PricewaterhouseCoopers or, as provided below, such other certified
public accounting firm as may be designated by the Executive (the “Accounting Firm”) which
shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within fifteen
(15) business days after the receipt of notice from the Executive that there has been a Payment, or
such earlier time as is requested by the Company. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving
as accountant or auditor for the individual, Entity or group effecting the Change of Control, the
Executive shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations
required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm
hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any
Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 8, shall be paid by the Company to
the Executive within five (5) days after the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. Any
determination by the Accounting Firm, absent manifest error, shall be binding upon the Company and
the Executive, subject to the last sentence of Section 8(a), and in no event later than the
payment deadline specified in Section 8(a). As a result of the uncertainty in the
application of section 4999 of the
Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible
that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made
(“Underpayment”),

13

 

consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the
event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 8(c) and the Executive
thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the
amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by
the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive, subject to the last sentence of Section
8(a), and in no event later than the payment deadline specified in Section 8(a).

     (c) The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the IRS that,
if successful, would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment (or an additional
Gross-Up Payment) in the event the IRS seeks higher payment. Such notification shall be given as
soon as practicable, but no later than ten (10) business days after the Executive is informed in
writing of such claim, and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on
which such claim is requested to be paid. The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the
expiration of the thirty (30)-day period following the date on which he gives such notice to the
Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such
claim is due). If the Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such
period that it desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall:

          (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to
such claim;

          (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall
reasonably request in writing from time to time, including without limitation, accepting legal
representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company;

          (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to effectively contest such
claim; and

          (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claims;
provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and
expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred at any time during the period that
ends ten (10) years following the lifetime of the Executive in connection with such proceedings and
shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or
income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such
representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of
this Section 8(c), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such
contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals,
proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may,
at its sole option, either direct the Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or
contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to
determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or
more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if
the Company directs the Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance
the amount of such payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold
the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including
interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to
any imputed income with respect to such advance; and further provided that any extension of the
statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Executive with
respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested
amount. The Company shall not direct the Executive to pay such a claim and sue for a refund if, due
to the prohibitions of section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the
Company may not advance to the Executive the amount necessary to pay such claim. All such
costs and expenses shall be made by the Company at least ten (10) days prior to the date that the
Executive is

14

 

required to pay or incur such costs and expenses. The costs and expenses that are
subject to be paid by the Company pursuant to this Section 8(c) shall not be limited as a
result of when the costs or expenses are incurred. The amounts of costs or expenses that are
eligible for payment pursuant to this Section 8(c)(iv) during a given taxable year of the
Executive shall not affect the amount of costs or expenses eligible for payment in any other
taxable year of the Executive. The right to payment of costs and expenses pursuant to this
Section 8(c)(iv) is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any amounts to which the Executive
would otherwise be entitled under this Section 8(c)(iv) during the first six (6) months
following the date of the Executive’s Separation From Service shall be accumulated and paid to the
Executive on the date that is six (6) months following the date of his Separation From Service. All
reimbursements by the Company under this Section 8(c)(iv) shall be paid no later than the
earlier of (i) the time periods described above and (ii) the last day of the Executive’s taxable
year next following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred by the Executive.

     (d) If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the Company
pursuant to Section 8(c), the Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect
to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying with the requirements of
Section 8(c)) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any
interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the
Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 8(c), a determination is
made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the
Company does not notify the Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund
prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days after such determination, then such advance shall not
be required to be repaid.

     (e) Any provision in this Agreement or any other plan or agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, if the Company is required to pay a Gross-Up Payment pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement and pursuant to the provisions of another plan or agreement, then the Company shall
pay the total of the amounts determined pursuant to this Agreement and the provisions of such other
plan or agreement.

9. Confidential Information. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity
for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating
to the Company or any of its Affiliated companies, and their respective businesses, which shall
have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive’s employment by the Company or any of its
Affiliated companies, provided that it shall not apply to information which is or shall become
public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in
violation of this Agreement), information that is developed by the Executive independently of such
information, or knowledge or data or information that is disclosed to the Executive by a third
party under no obligation of confidentiality to the Company. After termination of the Executive’s
employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such
information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it. In no
event shall an asserted violation of the provision of this Section 9 constitute a basis for
deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement.

10. Disputed Payments And Failures To Pay. If the Company fails to make a payment
under this Agreement in whole or in part as of the payment date specified in this Agreement, either
intentionally or unintentionally, other than with the consent of the Executive, the Company shall
owe the Executive interest on the delayed payment at the applicable Federal rate provided for in
section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code if the Executive (i) accepts the portion (if any) of the payment
that the Company is willing to make
(unless such acceptance will result in a relinquishment of the claim to all or part of the
remaining amount) and (ii) makes prompt and reasonable good faith efforts to collect the remaining
portion of the payment.

15

 

Any such interest payments shall become due and payable effective as of the
applicable payment date(s) specified in Section 5 with respect to the delinquent payment(s)
due under Section 5.

11. Funding. The Executive shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in
or to any assets of the Company or any investments which the Company may make to aid it in meeting
its obligations under this Agreement. The Executive’s right to receive payments under this
Agreement shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.
Immediately prior to a Change in Control, the Company shall create an irrevocable grantor trust
(the “Rabbi Trust”) which shall be subject to the claims of creditors of the Company. In
the event that the Executive is a Specified Employee at the time he incurs a Separation From
Service or at the time the Company determines that it is reasonably likely that the Executive will
incur a Separation From Service in connection with a Change in Control, then immediately upon the
Executive’s Separation From Service or, if earlier, the date on which the Company makes a
determination that the Executive is reasonably likely to incur a Separation From Services in
connection with a Change in Control, the Company shall transfer to the Rabbi Trust cash sufficient
(on an undiscounted basis) to pay the cash amounts specified in Section 5(b)(i), the
estimated amount of the Gross-Up Payment to be made under Section 6 and the Interest
Amount. The cash amounts specified in Section 5(b)(i), the Gross-Up Payment and the
Interest Amount shall be paid from the Rabbi Trust on the dates specified in Sections 5 and
8 herein, provided that the Company shall remain liable to pay any all amounts which for
any reason are not paid from the Rabbi Trust. The trustee of the Rabbi Trust shall be a bank or
trust company selected by the Company and approved by the Executive (in his sole discretion) prior
to the Change in Control.

12. Successors.

     (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and shall not be assignable by the
Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives,
executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

     (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and
its successors and assigns.

     (c) In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the Company,
the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation, amalgamation, scheme of arrangement, exchange offer, operation of law or otherwise
(including any purchase, merger, amalgamation, Corporate Transaction or other transaction involving
the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company)), to all or substantially all of the
Company’s business and/or Company’s Assets to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement
in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no
such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement at
or prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall
entitle the Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as
the Executive would be entitled to hereunder if the Executive were to terminate the Executive’s
employment for Good Reason after a Change of Control, except that, for purposes of implementing the
foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of
Termination. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore
defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as provided above.

16

 

13. Miscellaneous.

     (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF
THE DOMICILE OF THE EXECUTIVE, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS. The captions
of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect. All

require. This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement
executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives.

     (b) All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
given by hand delivery to the other party or by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, addressed: if to the Executive, to the address set forth on the
signature page hereto; and, if to the Company, to: Weatherford International Ltd., Rue
Jean-François Bartholoni 4, 1204 Geneva, Switzerland, Attention: Vice President — Legal; or to
such other address as either party shall have furnished to the other in writing in accordance
herewith. Notices and communications shall be effective when actually received by the addressee.

     (c) The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

     (d) The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such
Federal, state, local or foreign taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any
applicable law or regulation.

     (e) The Executive’s or the Company’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with
any provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any right to the Executive or the Company
may have hereunder, including without limitation, the right of the Executive to terminate
employment for Good Reason shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any
other provision or right of this Agreement.

     (f) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements between the
Company, any of its Affiliates and the Executive relating to the subject matter hereof, including,
without limitation, the Prior Agreements. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and
any other contract, plan, arrangement or understanding between the Executive and the Company (or
any Affiliate of the Company), this Agreement shall control.

     (g) By entering into this Agreement, it is the Company’s intent to fulfill its
obligation to the Executive to agree, execute and enter into an agreement with the Executive prior
to the termination or expiration of the Executive’s current employment agreements with the Company
and Weatherford International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, having the same terms and conditions
as existed in such agreements prior to December 30, 2008, and incorporating such terms and
conditions that are more favorable to the Executive from all agreements existing on January 1,
2009, and the Executive is entering into this Agreement in reliance thereon. In furtherance of the
foregoing, during the 90-day period from the Effective Date either party may propose, and the other
party shall agree to, any reasonable amendments to this Agreement for the purpose of clarifying or
revising any provision(s) herein as may be appropriate to implement the intent expressed in this
clause (g). Failure or refusal of the Company to enter into any reasonable amendment proposed
under this clause (g) by the end of such 90-day period (or, if later, within 10 days
following the Company’s receipt of written notice requesting such reasonable amendment)
shall constitute Good Reason.

17

 

     (h) If the Executive accepts in writing an international assignment to Geneva,
Switzerland, then (i) the office referenced in Section 3(a)(i)(B) of this Agreement shall
be the Company’s executive office in Geneva, Switzerland, and (ii) the provisions of this Agreement
will be applied, to the fullest extent possible, in accordance with the employment laws of
Switzerland, and nothing herein is intended to reduce or diminish the protections afforded by such
laws.
