Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall terminate automatically and all of the obligations of the Parties hereunder shall be of no further force or effect in the event that: (i) the Restructuring is consummated in accordance with this Agreement and the Term Sheet; (ii) the Restructuring is

not consummated in accordance with this Agreement and the Term Sheet by November 30, 2019, as such date may be extended upon written notice by the Supermajority Noteholders³ to the Debtors to such later date as indicated thereby; or (iii) the Debtors and the Required Consenting Noteholders mutually agree to such termination in writing.

12.Effect of Termination. The earliest date on which termination of this Agreement as to a Party is effective in accordance with Sections 8, 9, 10, or 11 of this Agreement shall be referred to, with respect to such Party, as a “Termination Date.” Upon the occurrence of a Termination Date, the obligations of the Parties as to whom this Agreement is terminated under this Agreement shall be terminated effective immediately, and such Parties shall be released from all commitments, undertakings, agreements, and obligations; provided, however, that each of the following shall survive any such termination: (a) any claim for breach of this Agreement that occurs prior to such Termination Date, and all rights and remedies with respect to such claims shall not be prejudiced in any way; (b) the Debtors’ obligations in Section 15 of this Agreement, solely with respect to fees and expenses that accrued prior to the Termination Date; and (c) Sections 12, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 32 and 37 of this Agreement; provided, further that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the right to terminate this Agreement shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any material obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the occurrence of the applicable Termination Event. The automatic stay applicable under section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall not prohibit a Party from taking any action necessary to effectuate the termination of this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with the terms hereof.

13.Transfers of Claims and Interests.

(a)

No Consenting Noteholder shall (i) sell, transfer, assign, pledge, grant a participation interest in, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of its right, title, or interest in respect of any of such Consenting Noteholder’s Notes Claims against any Debtor, as applicable, in whole or in part, or (ii) deposit any of such Consenting Noteholder’s claims against any Debtor, as applicable, into a voting trust, or grant any proxies, or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any such claims or interests (the actions described in Clauses (i) and (ii) are collectively referred to herein as a “Transfer” and the Consenting Noteholder making such Transfer is referred to herein as the “Transferor”), unless such Transfer is to another Consenting Noteholder or any other entity (a “Transferee”) that first agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by executing and delivering to the Debtors a Transferee Joinder substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Transferee Joinder”). With respect to claims against or interests in a Debtor held by the relevant Transferee upon consummation of a Transfer in accordance herewith, such Transferee is deemed to make all of the representations, warranties, and covenants of a Consenting Noteholder set forth in this Agreement as of the date of such

³ “Supermajority Noteholders” shall mean, subject to Section 28, the Consenting Noteholders, holding at least 75% of the principal amount outstanding of all Notes Claims held by the Consenting Noteholders.

Transfer. Upon compliance with the foregoing, the Transferor shall be deemed to relinquish its rights (and be released from its obligations, except for any claim for breach of this Agreement that occurs prior to such Transfer and any remedies with respect to such claim) under this Agreement to the extent of such transferred rights and obligations. Any Transfer made in violation of this Section 13 shall be deemed null and void ab initio and of no force or effect, regardless of any prior notice provided to the Debtors and/or any Consenting Noteholder, and shall not create any obligation or liability of any Debtor or any other Consenting Noteholder to the purported transferee.


(b)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the foregoing Clause

(a) of this Section 13 shall not preclude any Consenting Noteholder from transferring Notes Claims to affiliates of such Consenting Noteholder (each, a “Consenting Noteholder Affiliate”), which Consenting Noteholder Affiliate shall be automatically bound by this Agreement upon the transfer of such Notes Claims; and (ii) a Qualified Marketmaker⁴ that acquires any of the Notes Claims with the purpose and intent of acting as a Qualified Marketmaker for such Notes Claims shall not be required to execute and deliver to counsel a Transferee Joinder or otherwise agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement if such Qualified Marketmaker transfers such Notes Claims (by purchase, sale, assignment, participation, or otherwise) to a Consenting Noteholder or a Transferee (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the requirement that such Transferee execute a Transferee Joinder).

14.Further Acquisition of Claims or Interests. Except as expressly set forth in Section 13 of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as precluding any Consenting Noteholder from acquiring additional Notes Claims against or interests in any Debtors; provided, however, that any such claims or interests shall automatically be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Upon any such further acquisition by a Consenting Noteholder, such Consenting Noteholder shall promptly notify the Debtors in writing.

15.Fees and Expenses. The Debtors shall pay or reimburse all reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses (regardless of whether such fees and expenses were incurred before or after the Petition Date and in each case, in accordance with (and when due under) any applicable engagement letter or fee reimbursement letter with the Debtors) of the following professionals and advisors to an ad hoc committee of Noteholders (the “Noteholder Committee”): (a) Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP and one local law firm in each relevant jurisdiction outside of the United States and England & Wales, as legal counsel to the Noteholder Committee, and (b) Evercore, as the financial advisor retained on behalf of the Noteholder

⁴ As used herein, the term “Qualified Marketmaker” means an entity that (a) holds itself out to the public or the applicable private markets as standing ready in the ordinary course of business to purchase from customers and sell to customers claims against the Weatherford Parties (or enter with customers into long and short positions in claims against the Weatherford Parties), in its capacity as a dealer or market maker in claims against the Weatherford Parties and (b) is, in fact, regularly in the business of making a market in claims against issuers or borrowers (including debt securities or other debt).

Committee; provided, however, that the reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP that have accrued and are unpaid as of May 14, 2019 shall be paid on or before May 17, 2019 and provided, further however, that all outstanding invoices of the Noteholder Committee’s professionals and advisors shall be paid in full immediately by the Petition Date.

16.Consents and Acknowledgments. Each Party irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is not and shall not be deemed to be a solicitation for consents to the Plan. The acceptance of the Plan by each of the Consenting Noteholders will be solicited pursuant to the Disclosure Statement and related ballots in accordance with applicable law, and subject to sections 1125, 1126, and 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code. This Agreement does not constitute, and shall not be deemed to constitute, an offer for the purchase, sale, exchange, hypothecation, or other transfer of securities for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other federal, state, or provincial law or regulation.

(viii)

other than pursuant to this Agreement, the claims and interests identified on Annex A are free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, charge, claim, equity, option, proxy, voting restriction, right of first refusal, or other limitation on disposition or encumbrance of any kind, that would adversely affect in any material way such Consenting Noteholder’s performance of its obligations contained in this Agreement at the time such obligations are required to be performed;

As of their respective dates (or, if amended prior to the date hereof, as of the date of such amendment), each of the Company Reports, as amended, complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and

18.Survival of Agreement. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is being executed in connection with negotiations concerning a financial restructuring of the Weatherford Parties and in contemplation of chapter 11 filings by the Debtors, and the exercise of the rights granted in this Agreement after the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be a violation of the automatic stay provisions of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code.

19.Settlement. This Agreement and the Restructuring are part of a proposed settlement of matters that could otherwise be the subject of litigation among the Parties. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408, any

applicable state rules of evidence and any other applicable law, foreign or domestic, this Agreement, the exhibits attached hereto, the Plan, and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce the terms of this Agreement or the exhibits attached hereto (as applicable).

20.Relationship Among Parties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the duties and obligations of the Consenting Noteholders under this Agreement shall be several, not joint, with respect to each Consenting Noteholder. No Party shall have any responsibility by virtue of this Agreement for any trading by any other entity, and it is hereby expressly acknowledged by the Consenting Noteholders, on the one hand, and the Debtors, on the other, that they are in privity with each other and that no Consenting Noteholder is in privity with any other Consenting Noteholder in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Consenting Noteholders represent and warrant that as of the date hereof and for so long as this Agreement remains in effect, the Consenting Noteholders have no agreement, arrangement, or understanding with respect to acting together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting, or disposing of any equity securities of the Debtors. No prior history, pattern, or practice of sharing confidences among or between the Parties shall in any way affect or negate this Agreement, and each Consenting Noteholder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Consenting Noteholder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken by any Consenting Noteholder pursuant hereto is intended to constitute the Consenting Noteholders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that any Consenting Noteholder is in any way acting in concert or as a member of a “group” with any other Consenting Noteholder or Consenting Noteholders within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

21.Specific Performance. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages may be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy of any such breach of this Agreement, including, without limitation, an order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder.

22.Governing Law and Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to such state’s choice of law provisions which would require or permit the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees for itself that any legal action, suit, or proceeding against it with respect to any matter arising under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit, or proceeding shall be brought in the federal or state courts located in New York City, in New York County and in the State of New York, and each of their respective appellate courts, and by executing and delivering this Agreement, each of the Parties irrevocably accepts and submits itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any such action, suit, or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing consent to New York jurisdiction, upon the commencement of any Chapter 11 Cases and until the effective date of the Plan, each Party agrees

that the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction of all matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. By executing and delivering this Agreement, and upon commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the personal jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court solely for purposes of any action, suit, proceeding, or other contested matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered or order entered in any such action, suit, proceeding, or other contested matter.

23.WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH OF THE PARTIES WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM, OR DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, BETWEEN ANY OF THE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATING TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN ANY OF THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. INSTEAD, ANY DISPUTES RESOLVED IN COURT SHALL BE RESOLVED IN A BENCH TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY.

24.Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and subject to Section 13 of this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any Party hereto, without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto, and then only to a person or entity that has agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is intended to and shall bind and inure to the benefit of each of the Parties and each of their respective permitted successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, and representatives.

25.No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Unless expressly stated herein, this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of the Parties and no other person or entity shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

26.Notices. All notices (including, without limitation, any notice of termination or breach) and other communications from any Party hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered by courier service or messenger; registered, certified or overnight mail; e-mail, or facsimile to the other Parties at the applicable addresses below, or such other addresses as may be furnished hereafter by notice in writing. Any notice of termination or breach shall be delivered to all other Parties.

27.Entire Agreement. This Agreement (and the exhibits and schedules attached hereto) constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, and supersedes all prior negotiations, discussions, promises, representations, warranties, agreements, and understandings, whether written or oral, between or among the Parties with respect thereto; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any confidentiality agreement executed by any Consenting Noteholder shall survive this Agreement and shall continue to be in full force and effect in accordance with its terms; provided, further, that the Parties intend to enter into the Definitive Documentation after the date hereof to consummate the Restructuring.

28.Amendments. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may not be modified, amended, or supplemented, and no term or provision hereof or thereof waived, without the prior written consent of the Debtors and the Required Consenting Noteholders, provided that,

(i) the written consent of each Consenting Noteholder and the Debtors shall be required for any amendments, amendments and restatements, modifications, or other changes to Section 10 and this

Section 28 and (ii) the written consent of each Consenting Noteholder and the Debtors shall be required for any amendment or modification of the defined term “Required Consenting Noteholders”.

29.Reservation of Rights.


(a)	Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict the ability of any Party to protect and preserve its rights, remedies, and interests, including without limitation, its claims against any of the other Parties.

(a)

Without limiting Clause (a) of this Section 29 in any way, if the Restructuring are not consummated in the manner and on the timeline set forth in this Agreement, or if this Agreement is terminated for any reason in accordance with its terms, nothing shall be construed herein as a waiver by any Party of any or all of such Party’s rights, remedies, claims, and defenses and the Parties expressly reserve any and all of their respective rights, remedies, claims, and defenses, subject to Section 19 of this Agreement. This Agreement, the Plan, and any related document shall in no event be construed as or be deemed to be evidence of an admission or concession on the part of any Party of any claim or fault or liability or damages whatsoever. Each of the Parties denies any and all wrongdoing or liability of any kind and does not concede any infirmity in the claims or defenses which it has asserted or could assert.

30.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall constitute the same instrument, and the counterparts may be delivered by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf).

31.Public Disclosure. Under no circumstances may any Party make any public disclosure of any kind that would disclose either: (i) the holdings of any Consenting Noteholder (including Annex A, which shall not be publicly disclosed or filed) or (ii) the identity of any Consenting Noteholder without the prior written consent of such Consenting Noteholder or the order of a Bankruptcy Court or other court with competent jurisdiction.

32.Creditors’ Committee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Consenting Noteholder is appointed to, and serves on an official committee of creditors in the Chapter 11 Cases, the terms of this Agreement shall not be construed so as to limit such Consenting Noteholder’s exercise of its fiduciary duties arising from its service on such committee; provided, however, that service as a member of a committee shall not relieve such Consenting Noteholder of its obligations to affirmatively support the Restructuring on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Term Sheet on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

33.Severability. If any portion of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, unenforceable, void or voidable, or violative of applicable law, the remaining portions of this Agreement insofar as they may practicably be performed shall remain in full force and effect and binding on the Parties.

34.Additional Parties. Without in any way limiting the provisions hereof, additional Noteholders may become Parties by executing and delivering to the other Parties a duly executed counterpart hereof. Such additional Parties shall become Consenting Noteholders under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

35.Time Periods. If any time period or other deadline provided in this Agreement expires on a day that is not a Business Day, then such time period or other deadline, as applicable, shall be deemed extended to the next succeeding Business Day.

36.Headings. The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Agreement.

37.Interpretation. This Agreement is the product of negotiations among the Parties, and the enforcement or interpretation hereof, is to be interpreted in a neutral manner, and any presumption with regard to interpretation for or against any Party by reason of that Party having drafted or caused to be drafted this Agreement or any portion hereof, shall not be effective in regard to the interpretation hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise specified:

(a) each term, whether stated in the singular or the plural, shall include both the singular and the plural, and pronouns stated in the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine, and the neuter gender; (b) all references herein to “Articles,” “Sections,” and “Exhibits” are references to Articles, Sections, and Exhibits of this Agreement; and (c) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” and “hereto,” refer to this Agreement in its entirety rather than to a particular portion of this Agreement. The phrase “reasonable best efforts”, “commercially reasonable best efforts”, “commercially reasonable efforts” or words or phrases of similar import as used herein shall not be deemed to require any party to enforce or exhaust their appellate rights in any court of competent jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Court.

38.Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. All rights, powers, and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any right, power, or remedy thereof by any Party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power, or remedy by such Party. The failure of any Party hereto to exercise any right, power, or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon strict compliance by any other Party hereto with its obligations hereunder, and any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof, shall not constitute a waiver by such Party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power, or remedy or to demand such strict compliance.
