PURCHASE PRICE AND CLOSING

2.1Place and Date.

The day on which the Domestic Closing occurs is herein referred to as the “Closing Date,” and the effective time of the Domestic Closing shall be 11:59 p.m. EST on the Closing Date. The closings of the sale and purchase of the Foreign Assets (the “Foreign Closings”) shall take place on the Closing Date at such places and such times as may be specified in the respective Foreign Acquisition Agreements, or on such other date and time as the parties mutually agree in writing.

5

2.2Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Assets and the Shares to be sold and purchased hereby is SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($750,000,000) (the “Closing Purchase Price”), as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement (including after the Closing pursuant to Section 2.6 and Exhibit F) (collectively, with the Closing Purchase Price, the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price will be paid or caused to be paid by Acquiror, for its own account and for the account of each of the Buyers, to Weatherford for its account and for the account of each of the Sellers in accordance with this Agreement and the Foreign Acquisition Agreements. The Purchase Price shall be paid by the wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account or accounts as per written instructions of Weatherford given to Acquiror at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the timing of the Foreign Closings, the full Closing Purchase Price shall be paid by Acquiror or one or more Buyers to Weatherford or an Asset Seller as of the date of Domestic Closing, subject to the requirements of Section 1.4(b) as it relates to Foreign Closings occurring after such date. Acquiror and Buyers shall comply with withholding tax obligations, if any, imposed in connection with the payment of Purchase Price, including the Closing Purchase Price. Any withholding tax paid over by Acquiror and Buyers to Governmental Authorities shall be treated as a payment of the Purchase Price and the amount otherwise payable by Acquiror and Buyers to Weatherford and the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of such withholding tax. If Acquiror or any Buyer determines that it needs to withhold any portion of the Purchase Price, Acquiror shall provide Weatherford with reasonable notice and shall work in good faith with Weatherford to reduce or eliminate the need to withhold. For the avoidance of doubt, Acquiror and Buyers will not be required to gross-up the Purchase Price for any such withholding tax.

2.3Assumption of Liabilities.

(a)At the respective Closings for the Assets, Acquiror or another Buyer shall assume and agree to pay, honor and discharge when due all Liabilities to the extent relating to or arising out of the operation of the Business by Acquiror or its Affiliates after the Closing or the ownership of the Assets or the Shares from and after the Closing (other than the items set forth in clauses (v) or (vii) which in whole or in part relate to operations of the Business on or prior to Closing), but excluding the Excluded Liabilities (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”) including:

(i)all Liabilities set forth on Schedule 2.3 hereto;

(ii)all Liabilities of the Asset Sellers under the Assigned Contracts (x) to the extent attributable to the period from and after the Closing and (y) up to the Aggregate Pre-Closing Contract Liability Amount with respect to any Liabilities arising under the Assigned Contracts attributable to the period prior to Closing;

(iii)all agreements, contracts, commitments and other instruments entered into by the Asset Sellers in the Ordinary Course of Business in connection with the Business, including orders and other contracts for the purchase or sale of Inventory or the sale of products or services, and that are not set forth on Schedule 1.1(ii), but only to the extent that such contracts do not provide for payments for goods or services by the Asset Sellers in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate with respect to any such contract (collectively, the

6

“Unscheduled Contracts”), and all Liabilities thereunder (x) to the extent attributable to the period from and after the Closing and (y) up to the Aggregate Pre-Closing Contract Liability Amount with respect to any Liabilities arising thereunder attributable to the period prior to Closing;

(iv)all Product Liability-Acquirors;

2.5Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a)Acquiror and Weatherford shall cooperate to determine the allocation of the Purchase Price (prior to adjustments) among the various Sellers of the Assets and Share Sellers in advance of the Closing Date. To the extent that the Acquiror and Weatherford do not agree to such allocation prior to the Closing Date, the Acquiror and Weatherford shall cooperate following the Closing Date to make such determination, provided that if within one hundred and eighty days (180) of the Closing Date the parties are unable to agree as to such allocation, each party shall allocate the Purchase Price among the various Sellers of the Assets and Share Sellers as each such party determines in its own discretion.

(b)To the extent that Acquiror and Weatherford agree to an allocation of the Purchase Price that is paid to a Seller of any Asset, Acquiror and Weatherford shall cooperate following the Closing Date to allocate such portion of the Purchase Price and the applicable Assumed Liabilities of such Seller among the various Assets sold by such Seller, provided that if within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the Closing Date the parties are unable to agree as to such allocation, each party shall allocate the applicable portion of the Purchase Price and applicable Assumed Liabilities among the various Assets as each party determines in its own discretion.

(c)Any adjustments to the Purchase Price hereunder shall be allocated among the various Asset Sellers and Share Sellers consistently with the basis for any such adjustment as mutually agreed by the Acquiror and Weatherford, provided that if the Acquiror and Weatherford cannot agree to the allocation of such adjustment, each party shall allocate such adjustment as each party determines in its own discretion.

(d)To the extent that Acquiror and Weatherford agree to an allocation under Section 2.5(a) or Section 2.5(b) or Section 2.5(c), Acquiror and Weatherford shall, and shall cause their applicable Affiliates, to file all relevant Returns consistently with such agreed allocation. To the extent that any such allocation is challenged by any Taxing Authority during the course of any audit or other legal proceedings, the Acquiror or Weatherford, as the case may be, shall provide reasonable notice to the other party of such challenge.

2.6Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a)Within 120 days after the Closing Date, Acquiror will prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to Weatherford a combined balance sheet of the Business acquired pursuant hereto and the Foreign Acquisition Agreements as of the Closing (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) and a proposed statement of the Net Working Capital prepared therefrom (the “Closing Statement”). The Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement (i) will reflect, respectively, the financial position of the Business acquired pursuant hereto and the Foreign Acquisition Agreements on a combined basis and the components and calculation of the Net Working Capital, in each case as of the Closing and (ii) will be prepared and determined as of the Closing consistent with Weatherford’s policies, procedures, practices and methodologies set forth on Schedule 3.1.4(b). The Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date determined in accordance with this Section 2.6 is referred to herein as the “Closing Working Capital Balance.” The portion of the Closing Working Capital Balance relating to

9

Inventories located at the sites described on Exhibit E shall be prepared based on a physical inventory performed by Weatherford and Acquiror at such sites, which shall be carried out in accordance with the procedures, including the measurement procedures, specified in Schedule 3.1.4(b), and shall be commenced on or about the Closing Date and shall be completed within five Business Days after the Closing Date.

(b)If, within 60 days after the date of Acquiror’s delivery of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement, Weatherford determines in good faith that the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement have not been prepared or determined in accordance with this Agreement, Weatherford may give written notice to Acquiror within such 60 day period (i) setting forth Weatherford’s proposed changes to the Closing Date Balance Sheet as prepared by Acquiror and the determination by Weatherford of the Closing Working Capital Balance and (ii) specifying in reasonable detail Weatherford’s basis for disagreement with Acquiror’s preparation and determination of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Balance. The failure by Weatherford to so express disagreement and provide such notice within such 60 day period will constitute acceptance of Acquiror’s preparation of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and computation of the Closing Working Capital Balance. If Acquiror and Weatherford are unable to resolve any disagreement between them with respect to the preparation of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the determination of the Closing Working Capital Balance within 15 days after the giving of notice by Weatherford to Acquiror of such disagreement, the dispute may be referred by Acquiror or Weatherford for determination to the Houston, Texas office of Grant Thornton LLP (or, if they are unable or unwilling to serve, another mutually acceptable internationally recognized accounting firm (the “Accountants”)). Within 15 days of such referral, each party shall submit, in writing, detailed briefs to the Accountants setting forth their position, and the Accountants shall make a written determination as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after the date on which the dispute is referred to the Accountants. The Accountants will not disclose either party’s position to the other party. Neither Acquiror nor Weatherford shall be entitled to respond to the brief provided by the other party to the Accountants. The Accountants may ask and receive responses in writing from one or both parties in order to clarify such party’s position. The Accountants are authorized to select only the Closing Working Capital Balance as presented by Acquiror or Weatherford and shall not select any other amount as the Closing Working Capital Balance. The costs and expenses of the Accountants shall be borne by the party against whom the dispute is decided. No party will disclose to the Accountants, and the Accountants will not consider for any purposes, any settlement discussions or settlement offer made by any party. The decision of the Accountants shall be final and binding on the parties.

(c)During the period that Weatherford’s advisors and personnel are conducting their review of Acquiror’s preparation of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and determination of the Closing Working Capital Balance until the final determination of the Closing Working Capital Balance, Weatherford and its Representatives will have reasonable access during normal business hours to the work papers prepared by or on behalf of Acquiror and its Representatives in connection with Acquiror’s preparation of the Closing Statement and determination of the Closing Working Capital Balance; provided,however, that Weatherford will conduct such review in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the businesses of Acquiror.

10

(d)Any amounts collected with respect to any accounts receivable of the Business that are included in the Net Working Capital but that are reserved against and excluded from computing the Net Working Capital as of Closing (the “Reserved Accounts Receivable”) prior to the final determination of the Closing Working Capital Balance in accordance with this Section 2.6 will be included as a current asset in the calculation of the Closing Working Capital Balance to the extent so collected prior to such determination. If, prior to the one year anniversary of the date of the Domestic Closing, the Acquiror or any of its Affiliates collects any Reserved Accounts Receivable that were not added back to the Closing Working Capital Balance in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, then the Acquiror or its Affiliates will promptly remit all such amounts to Weatherford. During the one year period after the date of the Domestic Closing, Acquiror or its Affiliates shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with their own respective collection practices in collecting any such Reserved Accounts Receivable; provided that the Acquiror or its Affiliates will not be required to expend amounts for any third party out-of-pocket costs or expenses to collect such Reserved Accounts Receivable, unless Weatherford or its Affiliates agrees in writing to reimburse the Acquiror or its Affiliates for all such amounts.

2.7Adjustments to Purchase Price.

(a)Upon the final determination of the Closing Working Capital Balance, the parties shall make the following adjustments:

(i)If the Closing Working Capital Balance exceeds the Working Capital Target by $1,000,000 or more, then the Purchase Price will be increased by, and Acquiror will pay to Weatherford, the amount of the difference between the Closing Working Capital Balance and the Working Capital Target.

(ii)If the Closing Working Capital Balance is less than the Working Capital Target by $1,000,000 or more, then the Purchase Price will be decreased by, and Weatherford will pay to Acquiror, the amount of the difference between the Working Capital Target and the Closing Working Capital Balance.

(b)Any payment in respect of an adjustment required to be made under Section 2.7 will be made by Acquiror or Weatherford, as applicable, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one account specified by Acquiror or Weatherford in writing, within five Business Days following the final determination with respect to the Closing Working Capital Balance.

2.8Consent of Third Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any instrument, contract, lease, licenses, permit or other agreement or arrangement or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an assignment or transfer or an attempt to make such an assignment or transfer without the consent or approval of a third party would constitute a breach or violation thereof or affect adversely the rights of the Buyers or the Asset Sellers thereunder and such consent or approval has not been obtained by the Closing; and any transfer or assignment to the Buyers by the Asset Sellers of any interest under any such instrument, contract, lease, licenses permit or other

11

agreement or arrangement that requires the consent of a third party shall be made following the Closing subject to such consent or approval being obtained. In the event any such consent or approval is not obtained on or prior to the Closing Date, Weatherford shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain any such approval or consent as soon as reasonably possible after the Closing Date, and Weatherford will cooperate with Acquiror and the other Buyers in any lawful arrangement to provide that Acquiror or another Buyer shall receive the interest of the Asset Sellers in the benefits under any such instrument, contract, lease or permit or other agreement or arrangement, including performance by the Asset Sellers, as agent, provided that the Acquiror or another Buyer shall pay or satisfy the corresponding expenses and Liabilities for the enjoyment of such benefit to the extent the Acquiror or another Buyer would have been responsible therefor hereunder if such consent or approval had been obtained.

2.9Tax Treatment.All adjustments to the Purchase Price under Section 2.7 shall be treated for Tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price to the extent permitted under applicable Law and shall be allocated as provided in Section 2.5.

2.10Proration Procedures.Following the Closing, Weatherford and Acquiror agree to the following proration procedures relating to processing costs and expenses that are allocable in part to each of the parties:

(i)If Weatherford or its Affiliates, on the one hand, or Acquiror or its Affiliates, on the other hand, receives an invoice for expenses that are allocable partly to it and partly to the other party based on the allocation of Liabilities set forth in Sections 2.3 and 2.4, the recipient shall pay such invoice in full promptly and shall promptly advise the other party that such invoice has been received and shall request the appropriate reimbursement from the other party. The party owing such reimbursement shall pay such reimbursement to the other party within fifteen (15) days after receipt of an invoice for the reimbursable amount, together with a copy of the original invoice and such other party’s calculation of the reimbursement amount.

(ii)Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever time permits, Weatherford or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Acquiror or its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to consult with each other in determining each party’s appropriate allocable share of any payment or expense due and shall remit or pay, as applicable, the allocable share to the party entitled to or responsible for, as applicable, under this paragraph for such payment or the paying of such expense in a timely fashion.

(d)At Closing, Weatherford shall, or cause one or more of its Affiliates to, enter into such agreements and other arrangements (including sublicenses and subleases), to the extent permitted by applicable Law and not prohibited by the applicable Weatherford Master Agreement, with Acquiror and/or the other Buyers as are reasonably necessary to ensure that Acquiror and/or the other Buyers receive until three months after the Closing, or as otherwise provided in an Ancillary Agreement, whichever is later, benefits under the Weatherford Master Agreements that are substantially same as the benefits received by Weatherford or its Affiliates with respect to the Business prior to the Closing.

4.9Letters of Credit, Guaranties. Promptly after the Closing, Acquiror shall, and will cause each other Buyer to, use their reasonable efforts to be substituted for Weatherford, the Asset Sellers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates (other than the Target Companies) on the guaranties and letters of credit set for the performance guarantees, warranty bonds, advance payments guarantees and tender guarantees related to the Business as set forth on Schedule 4.9, which schedule may be updated prior to the Closing to reflect any guaranties and letters of credit for such items entered into after the date hereof in the Ordinary Course of Business in accordance with the provisions of this

41

Agreement (collectively, the “Surety Obligations”), in each case so that Weatherford, the Asset Sellers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates are relieved of all liability with respect thereto. To the extent that either Acquiror or the Buyers are not substituted for Weatherford, the Asset Sellers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates on, or Weatherford, the Asset Sellers and such Subsidiaries and Affiliates are not relieved of, such liability under the Surety Obligations, Acquiror shall reimburse Weatherford, the Asset Sellers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates for all out-of-pocket amounts paid by Weatherford, the Asset Sellers under such Surety Obligations, provided that Weatherford, the Asset Sellers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall take such actions as the Buyers may reasonably direct (at the cost of the Buyers) to defend such obligations.

4.10Foreign Acquisition Agreements; Closings. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of the respective Foreign Acquisition Agreements, Weatherford will, and will cause each Asset Seller and Share Seller to, and Acquiror will, and will cause each other Buyer to, perform all of its agreements and obligations under, and use all commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the transactions contemplated by, each Foreign Acquisition Agreement and each other Ancillary Agreement to which it is now or hereafter a party, in each case by the Closing Date. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement, notwithstanding the provisions of any Foreign Acquisition Agreement, that no purchase and sale contemplated by any Foreign Acquisition Agreement shall be consummated earlier than simultaneously with the Domestic Closing. Accordingly, each of the parties hereto will take such action as may be necessary to ensure that no Closing under any Foreign Acquisition Agreement occurs prior to the Domestic Closing.

4.11Required Consents and Approvals.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use (and cause its Affiliates to use) its commercially reasonable efforts (subject to, and in accordance with, applicable Law) to take promptly, or cause to be taken promptly, all actions, and to do promptly, or cause to be done promptly, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including (i) taking of all actions reasonably necessary or advisable to cause the closing conditions to the other party’s obligations set forth in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 to be satisfied or fulfilled at or prior to Closing, (ii) obtaining all necessary actions or Governmental Approvals from any Governmental Authority and making all necessary registrations and filings and taking all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Authority, (iii) obtaining all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties and all consents, approvals and waivers from third parties reasonably requested by Acquiror to be obtained by Weatherford in respect of the Contracts in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or this Agreement, (iv) defending any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (v) executing and delivering any additional instruments necessary to consummate transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that prior to the Closing in no event shall Weatherford, any of its Affiliates, or Acquiror or any of its Affiliates be required to pay or commit to pay any material fee, material penalties or other material consideration to any landlord or other third party to obtain any consent, approval or waiver required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated

42

hereby under any Contracts (other than those payable pursuant to the terms of any such Contract), waive any condition to such party’s obligation to consummate the Closing or waive any right of such party under this Agreement.

(b)Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided and without limiting the foregoing, Weatherford and Acquiror shall (i) if the required filings of the parties under the HSR Act and/or the Competition Act have not already been made, make their respective filings as soon as practically possible and thereafter make any other required submissions under the HSR Act and/or the Competition Act; provided, that Acquiror shall pay the related filing fees under the HSR Act and the Competition Act on filing, subject to an obligation of Weatherford to reimburse Acquiror for 50% of such filing fee, but in no event in excess of $62,500; (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in (x) determining whether any filings are required to be made with, or consents, permits, authorizations, waivers or approvals are required to be obtained from, any third parties or other Governmental Authority in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and (y) timely making all such filings and timely seeking all such consents, permits, authorizations or approvals (and split any costs associated with such filings equally); (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all other actions and do, or cause to be done, all other things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including taking all such further action as reasonably may be necessary to resolve such objections, if any, as the United States Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, state antitrust enforcement authorities, the Competition Bureau or competition authorities of any other nation or other jurisdiction or any other Person may assert under Regulatory Law with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with result to the transactions contemplated hereby so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible; (iv) promptly inform the other party upon receipt of any material communication from the United States Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, the Competition Bureau or any other Governmental Authority regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (v) subject to applicable legal limitations and the instructions of any Governmental Authority, keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated thereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications received by Weatherford or Acquiror, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, from any third party and/or any Governmental Authority with respect to such transactions. Weatherford and Acquiror shall permit legal counsel for the other party reasonable opportunity to review in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, any proposed written communication to any Governmental Authority. Each of Weatherford and Acquiror agrees not to (A) participate in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental Authority in connection with the proposed transactions unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate, (B) extend any waiting period under the HSR Act and/or the Competition Act without the prior written consent of the other party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (C) enter into any agreement with any Governmental

43

Authority not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party.

(c)In furtherance and not in limitation of the agreements of the parties contained in this Section 4.11, if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding, including any proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Regulatory Law, each of Weatherford and Acquiror shall cooperate in all respects with each other and shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using their commercially reasonable efforts to (x) propose, negotiate, commit to and effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divesture or disposition of assets or businesses of Acquiror or its Affiliates (including the assets and operations making up the Business), provided that any such sale, divestiture or disposition shall not be required to be effective unless and until the transactions contemplated hereunder are consummated and (y) otherwise take or commit to take actions after the Closing Date that would limit Acquiror’s or its Affiliates’ freedom of action with respect to, or their ability to retain, one or more of its Affiliates’ businesses, product lines or assets, in each case as may be required in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order which would have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Section 4.11 shall limit a party’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 so long as such party has, prior to such termination, complied with its obligations under this Section 4.11.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.11 or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates be required to agree to (A) any prohibition of or limitation on its or their ownership (or any limitation that would affect its or their operation) of any portion of their respective businesses or assets, including after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (B) divest, hold separate or otherwise dispose of any portion of its or their respective businesses or assets, including after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (C) any limitation on its or their ability to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (D) any other limitation on its or their ability to effectively control their respective businesses or any limitation that would affect its or their ability to control their respective operations, including after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (any such action or limitation described in clauses (A) through (D) of this sentence, a “Restriction”), other than Restrictions (1) that solely apply to the Business from and after the Closing (such restrictions, “Target Restrictions”) and (2) that, individually or in the aggregate with all other Target Restrictions, would not have caused a reduction of the Business’s consolidated revenues, during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2014, of 15% of such consolidated revenues (such amount, the “Target Amount”) or more during such period had such Target Restrictions been in place at any point during such 12-month period, and would not reasonably be expected to cause such a reduction of the Business’s consolidated revenues for the 12-month period beginning with the first full calendar month following the Closing of

44

the Target Amount or more had such Target Restrictions been in place at any point during such 12-month period.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Acquiror will be entitled to the proceeds of any divestiture or Target Restriction required pursuant to this Section 4.11 and if such divestiture or other Target Restriction occurs or is imposed prior to Closing, the Business will be entitled to and will hold the proceeds thereof at Closing (and shall not be taken into account for purposes of the Closing Working Capital).

Neither Weatherford, on the one hand, nor Acquiror, on the other hand, shall, without the prior written consent of the other party, take any action or refrain from taking any action the intended result of which is to prevent or materially impede, interfere with or unreasonably delay, the transactions contemplated hereby. In furtherance of the foregoing, from time to time after the Closing Date, the parties hereto agree to (i) furnish upon request to each other such further assurances, information, documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and assumption and (ii) do such things and promptly execute, acknowledge, and deliver any such further

45

assurances, documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and assumption, in each case that the other party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement.

Except in connection with an indemnified claim under this Agreement (in which case the indemnifying party shall bear such costs), the party requesting any such books and records and other documents, information or employees shall bear all of the out of pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with providing such books and records and other documents, information or employees. All information received pursuant to this Section 4.15 shall be kept confidential by the party obtaining such information, subject to any disclosure that is required to be made by such party in order to comply with applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any securities exchange upon which its securities are traded.

4.16Control of Operations.

4.18Update of Schedules

(a)From time to time up to the Closing, Weatherford shall promptly supplement or amend any Schedule that it has delivered in response to ARTICLE III with respect to:

(i)any matter first existing or occurring following the date hereof that (i) if existing or occurring at or prior to the date hereof would have been required to be set forth or be described in the Schedule or (ii) is necessary to correct any information in such Schedule that has been rendered inaccurate thereby; or

46

(ii)any matter first existing or occurring prior to the date of this agreement that was not previously set forth in such Schedule.

Except as described in Section 3.1.12(b), no supplement or amendment to any such Schedule shall have any effect for the purpose of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2(a). No supplement or amendment to any schedule delivered pursuant to Section 4.18(a) shall (i) limit Seller’s indemnification obligations regardless of whether or not the transactions contemplated herein are consummated or (ii) in any way limit the ability of Acquiror from making a claim for breach of this Agreement.

4.19Casualty Loss. If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any part of the Assets or assets of any Target Company are damaged or impaired by fire, act of God, or any other casualty or are taken by any condemnation event and if (i) in the case of a casualty event, the cost of restoring such damage or impairment to a condition reasonably comparable to the condition immediately prior to such casualty event or (ii) in the case of a condemnation event, the condemnation value therefor, as the case may be, would reasonably be expected to exceed $2,500,000, Weatherford shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) promptly repair or replace any assets damaged or lost on account thereof, (ii) pay over any net insurance proceeds or any net condemnation award received by Weatherford or its Affiliates with respect to such casualty event or condemnation event to the Acquiror or its Affiliates promptly after Closing to the extent not expended by Weatherford or its Affiliates in connection with any such repair or replacement, and (iii) if any such repair or replacement is not completed as of the applicable Domestic Closing or Foreign Closing, cooperate with Acquiror or its applicable Buyer, at its reasonable request, in pursing any insurance claims or condemnation awards related to such casualty event or condemnation event. For avoidance of doubt, the failure to complete any such repair or replacement of such assets relating to such casualty event or condemnation event shall not be a condition to the obligation of Acquiror to consummate the transactions contemplated under this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.2 so long as the conditions set forth in Sections 5.2(a), (b) and (d) have been satisfied (or otherwise waived by Acquiror).

4.20Customer Visits.

execute and provide, and shall cause the Sellers to apply for, execute and provide, to the Buyers, all exemption certificates, forms, elections or rulings (including any resale certificates) as may be necessary or appropriate, and otherwise to cooperate, to establish any available exemption from (or otherwise reduce) Transfer Taxes that may be provided for under applicable Law.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Acquiror and Buyers shall be liable for 100% of any value added or goods and services Taxes (and any interest, penalties, or other surcharges imposed thereon) resulting from any transaction effected pursuant to this Agreement, the Foreign Acquisition Agreements, the Share Transfer Agreements, and Ancillary Agreements (collectively, “VAT and GST Taxes”).

(d)The parties hereto agree to treat all transfers in each jurisdiction as transfers of a going concern business to the maximum extent allowed by applicable Law and, where necessary or appropriate, apply for any rulings or approvals required to obtain such treatment.

6.3Straddle Period. For purposes of this Agreement, if any Tax (or Tax refund) relates to a Straddle Period (other than Transfer Taxes and VAT and GST Taxes described in Section 6.2), the parties shall use the following conventions for determining the portion of such Tax (or Tax refund) that relates to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning on the day after the Closing Date: (a) in the case of income Taxes, sales Taxes, employment Taxes, withholding Taxes, and other similar Taxes, such Taxes shall be apportioned between the portion of the Straddle Period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning on the day after the Closing Date as if a separate Return with respect to such Taxes was filed for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on (and including) the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology”; and (b) in the case of ad valorem property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, such Taxes shall be apportioned between the portion of the Straddle Period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning on the day after the Closing Date based on the number of days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the number of days in the portion of the Straddle Period beginning on the day after the Closing Date. For purposes of clause (a), any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions) shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date based on the relative number of days in such portion of the Straddle Period as compared to the number of days in the entire Straddle Period.

6.4Returns.

(a)Subject to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement, Weatherford, at its sole cost and expense, shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Returns of each Target Company (whether due on, before or after the Closing Date) relating to Pre-Closing Tax Periods (“Weatherford Prepared Returns”), but excluding Returns relating to Straddle Periods. Each Weatherford Prepared Return shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past Tax practices, Tax procedures and Tax accounting methods, except to the extent otherwise required by Law. At least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of any Weatherford Prepared Return, Weatherford shall provide a draft of such Tax Return to Acquiror for Acquiror’s review and comment.

filed. To the extent that such Return needs to be filed by the applicable Target Company after the Closing Date, Acquiror shall cause the applicable Target Company to properly sign and file such Return.

(b)Subject to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement, Acquiror, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause each Target Company to prepare and timely file all Returns of each Target Company due after the Closing Date that are not Weatherford Prepared Returns (the “Acquiror Prepared Returns”). To the extent that an Acquiror Prepared Return relates to a Straddle Period, such Return shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past Tax practices, Tax procedures and Tax accounting methods, except to the extent otherwise required by Applicable Law. At least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of any Acquiror Prepared Return that relates to a Straddle Period, Acquiror shall provide a draft of such Return to Weatherford for Weatherford’s review and comment. Acquiror shall cause the applicable Target Company to incorporate any reasonable comments made by Weatherford in the Return that is to be actually filed.

(c)Acquiror shall not, and shall not allow any Target Company to amend any Return of any Target Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or otherwise initiate (or agree to) any other Weatherford Tax Matter without the prior written consent of Weatherford.

6.5Tax Contest.

(a)If any Taxing Authority issues to Acquiror or any Affiliate of Acquiror (i) a notice of its intent to audit or conduct another legal proceeding that could give rise to a Retained Tax or (ii) a notice of deficiency for a Retained Tax, Acquiror shall notify Weatherford of the receipt of such communication from the Taxing Authority within fifteen (15) days of receipt; provided. however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not excuse Weatherford from its responsibility for such Retained Tax except to the extent (and only to the extent) that Weatherford has actually been prejudiced by such failure.

(b)If there is any audit or other legal proceeding relating to a Retained Tax that is imposed on a Target Company or Acquiror or other Buyer (a “Tax Contest”), Weatherford shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, upon notice to the Acquiror, to control or participate in such Tax Contest to the extent such Retained Tax is for a Pre-Closing Tax Period and Weatherford shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, upon notice to the Acquiror, to participate in such audit or proceedings to the extent such Retained Tax is for a Straddle Period. Acquiror shall not settle or abandon, or allow any Target Company or other Affiliate to settle or abandon a Tax Contest (whether or not Weatherford controls or participates in such Tax Contest) without the prior written consent of Weatherford, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld., conditioned or delayed Notwithstanding the foregoing, Weatherford (or its designee) shall solely control any audit or other proceedings relating to a Retained Tax that is imposed on Weatherford or any Seller and any audit or other proceedings relating to any Tax with respect to any consolidated, combined, or unitary group the common parent of which is Weatherford or any Seller or any affiliate of Weatherford (excluding any such group that consists solely of Target Companies). With respect to any Tax Contest or any audit or other proceeding that Weatherford controls pursuant to this Section 6.5(b), Weatherford shall not settle or abandon, or allow any Seller or other Affiliate to settle or abandon such Tax Contest

54

or audit or other proceeding without the prior written consent of Acquiror, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

6.6Tax Refunds. All refunds for any Retained Taxes (including all refunds of any Target Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period) (whether in the form of cash received or a credit or offset against Taxes otherwise payable) to the extent not included in the Closing Working Capital Balance shall be for the benefit of Weatherford. To the extent that Acquiror, the Target Companies or any of the Buyers or any of their Affiliates receive a refund that is for the benefit of Weatherford, Acquiror shall pay the amount of such refund (and any interest received from the Taxing Authority with respect to such refund) to an account or accounts designated by Weatherford. The amount due to Weatherford shall be payable ten (10) days after receipt of the refund from the applicable Taxing Authority (or, if the refund is in the form of a credit or offset, ten (10) days after the due date of the Return claiming such credit or offset). If the aggregate amount of Tax accruals and reserves included in the Closing Working Capital Balance, as finally determined, exceeds the aggregate amount of Taxes actually paid after the Closing by Acquiror or the Target Companies or any of their affiliates to Taxing Authorities for Pre-Closing Tax Periods, the excess shall be treated as a refund of Taxes. Acquiror shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, to take all commercially reasonable actions requested by Weatherford to timely claim any refunds that will give rise to a payment under this Section 6.6. All payments under this Section 6.6 shall be treated for Tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price to the extent permitted under applicable Law and shall be allocated as provided in Section 2.5.

ARTICLE VII

EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

7.1Employment of Asset Sellers’ Employees.

(a)Subject to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement, Weatherford will, and will cause its Affiliates and each Asset Seller and each of its and their respective Affiliates to, cause the Employees employed by an Asset Seller or any other Weatherford Affiliate (other than a Target Company) to be available for hire by Acquiror or the Buyers. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Weatherford will, and will cause each Asset Seller or other Weatherford Affiliate (other than the Target Companies) to, make available to Acquiror such information relating to the Employees as Acquiror may reasonably request in connection with the hiring of such individuals by Acquiror or Buyer. For a period of eighteen months from the Closing Date, Weatherford will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly solicit, offer to employ, employ or retain the services of, or otherwise interfere with the relationship of any Buyer or its Affiliate with, any Transferred Employee; provided, that Weatherford shall be permitted to hire for employment any Transferred Employee who is involuntarily terminated by Acquiror or any of its Affiliates following the Closing; and provided, further that the phrase “solicit for employment” shall not be deemed to include general solicitations of employment not specifically directed toward any Transferred Employees (whether through advertisements, recruiting firms that aren’t specifically targeting any Transferred Employees or other means).

(b)Effective as of the Closing Date and subject to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement, Acquiror will, or will cause each applicable other Buyer or its Affiliate

55

to, offer employment to the Employees listed on Schedule 7.1 on terms that, and for a period of one year after the Closing Date, provide for reasonably comparable positions and with base wages or salaries, bonus opportunities and other employee benefits (other than defined benefit pension plans and equity-based plans) that are substantially similar in the aggregate to those currently provided to such Employees by Weatherford or its Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that Acquiror will not offer any equity-based plans relating to Weatherford or any of its Affiliates. “Transferred Employees” means those Employees of the Asset Sellers or other Weatherford Affiliate (other than a Target Company) who accept Acquiror’s or Buyer’s offer of employment and commence employment with Acquiror or Buyer, or who are employees of any of the Target Companies on the Closing Date.

(c)Neither Acquiror nor its Affiliates shall have responsibility for (i) Liabilities in respect of any Employees who do not become Transferred Employees or (ii) Liabilities for Transferred Employees to the extent that such Liabilities arose or existed prior to the time the Transferred Employee became employed by Acquiror or one of its Affiliates, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including under this Section 7.1(c) and Section 2.3.

(d)Weatherford and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for funding and/or paying any benefits under all of the Employee Plans, including any termination benefits and other employee entitlements accrued under any Employee Plan, and neither Acquiror nor any of its Affiliates shall have any Liabilities with respect to any Employee or Employee Plan or any claim thereof or related thereto, except to the extent expressly provided in this ARTICLE VII or reflected in the Closing Working Capital Balance with respect to the Transferred Employees. From and after the Closing, Weatherford shall remain solely responsible for any and all Liabilities in respect of the Employees, including the Transferred Employees and their beneficiaries and dependents, relating to or arising in connection with or as a result of (i) the employment or the actual or constructive termination of employment of any such Employee by any Asset Seller or other Weatherford Affiliate (other than the Target Companies), or (ii) the participation in or accrual of benefits or compensation under, or the failure to participate in or to accrue compensation or benefits under, any Employee Plan or other employee or retiree benefit or compensation plan, program, practice, policy, agreement or arrangement of any Asset Seller or other Weatherford Affiliate (other than the Target Companies) prior to the Closing except, in any such case, to the extent any such Liability is specifically assumed by any Buyer pursuant to this ARTICLE VII. Each of Lubrizol and Weatherford agree and shall abide by the terms and conditions of that certain letter agreement dated November 29, 2014 relating to payments to certain employees of Integrity Delaware, LLC.

(e)Acquiror will, or will cause each applicable other Buyer to, cause each Transferred Employee to be credited with service as of the Closing Date for all purposes under each of such Acquiror’s employee benefit plans to the extent such Transferred Employee’s service with the Asset Sellers or other Weatherford Affiliate (other than the Target Companies) prior to the Closing Date was so credited for all purposes other than benefit accrual under a defined benefit pension plan, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits.

56

(f)The Employees listed on Schedule 7.1(f) as updated prior to the Closing Date are not actively at work on the Closing Date (each, an “Inactive Employee”) and shall not, as of the Closing Date, be Transferred Employees. Weatherford represents and warrants that Schedule 7.1(f) as of the date of this Agreement lists, and as of the Closing Date will list, each Inactive Employee’s name, title, reason for absence and expected return date. Weatherford and its Affiliates shall be liable for, and shall hold Acquiror, the other Buyers and their respective Affiliates harmless from and against all Liabilities in respect of any Inactive Employee. In the event that an Inactive Employee returns to work at any time during the ninety (90) day period following the Closing, subject to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement, Acquiror or another Buyer or its Affiliate shall offer employment to such individual, and if he or she accepts such employment he or she shall be a Transferred Employee upon the date he or she begins employment with Acquiror or one of its Affiliates for purpose of this Agreement.

(g)After the Domestic Closing, Weatherford shall cause all of the payment obligations for the amounts described in Section 2.4(m) to be discharged with respect to the applicable Employees in accordance with the contracts, agreements, arrangements or policies, as applicable, that give rise to such obligations.

7.2Defined Contribution Plan. Subject to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement, Acquiror shall, or shall cause the applicable Buyer to, cause a qualified defined contribution retirement plan in which the Transferred Employees will be participants following the Closing Date to accept a rollover contribution from the Weatherford International, LLC 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Seller 401(k) Plan”) from any Transferred Employee who elects to make such a contribution.

7.3Welfare and Fringe Benefit Plans. Subject to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement, Acquiror shall, or shall cause the other Buyers to, provide the Transferred Employees and their dependents and beneficiaries coverage under any welfare and fringe benefit plans, programs, policies or arrangements established by Acquiror or the other Buyers for such Transferred Employees (the “Transferred Employee Welfare Benefit Plans”) effective as of each Transferred Employee’s first day of employment with Acquiror or the Buyers. In connection therewith, the Acquiror shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of the Transferred Employee Welfare Benefit Plans, subject to the approval of any applicable insurance carrier, to (i) recognize the co-payments and deductible expenses of the Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents and (ii) waive all pre-existing condition exclusions and limitations of the Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents. Subject to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement, Weatherford and its Affiliates shall provide Acquiror with information pertaining to the hire date, recognized credited service amount, seniority date and participation, vesting and, as applicable, benefit accrual period of service, deductible and out-of-pocket amounts for each of the Transferred Employees.

57

7.4No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing express or implied by this Agreement shall confer upon any Employee, or legal representative thereof, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or benefits for any specified period, of any nature or kind whatsoever, under or by reason of this Agreement. In no event shall the terms of this Agreement be deemed to: (i) establish, amend, or modify any Employee Plan; (ii) alter or limit the ability of Weatherford or any of its Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any Employee Plan or alter or limit the ability of Acquiror or any of its Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any other benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement after the Closing Date; or (iii) confer upon any current or former employee, officer, director or consultant of the Business, including any Employee, any right to employment or continued employment or continued service with the Business, or constitute or create an employment agreement with any employee.

7.5Equity Based Awards. Prior to or at the Closing, Weatherford shall immediately vest and, at the option of Weatherford or its Affiliates, cancel and cash out any Transferred Employee in any outstanding stock option, performance share, restricted stock or similar equity-based compensation plan or arrangement.

7.6Foreign National Employees. Subject to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement, Acquiror shall assume responsibility for, including the immigration-related obligations of, the foreign national employees of Weatherford US, L.P. that are identified on Schedule 7.6, subject to their obtaining proper work authorization from the Department of Homeland Security.

58

satisfaction of any of the conditions in Section 5.3 becomes impossible prior to the Outside Date (other than as a result of the failure of Weatherford, any Asset Seller or Share Seller to comply with its obligations under this Agreement), and Weatherford has not expressly waived such condition in writing on or before termination of this Agreement; or

(e)by either Acquiror or Weatherford if there shall be any applicable Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise prohibited or if consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby would violate any non-appealable order of any Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction.

9.2Indemnification.

(a)By Weatherford. Weatherford agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless each of Acquiror, the other Buyers, the Target Companies (from and after the Closing) and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisers, Representatives and Affiliates (collectively, the “Acquiror Indemnitees”) from and against, and pay or reimburse the Acquiror Indemnitees for, any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, fines, costs, proceedings,

59

deficiencies or damages, including reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees incurred in the investigation or defense of any of the same (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from:

(i)any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Weatherford or its Affiliates in this Agreement, in any Foreign Acquisition Agreement as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of such date (except for representation and warranties made as of a specified date, then as of such specified date);

(ii)any failure of Weatherford, its Affiliates, any Asset Seller or Share Seller to perform any covenant or agreement hereunder, under any Foreign Acquisition Agreement; and

(iii)subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.2(i), any Excluded Liabilities; and

For purposes of determining the amount of any Losses (but not for the purpose of determining the existence of any breach, misrepresentation or inaccuracy) with respect to any representation or warranty of Weatherford, any qualification as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect or words of similar import set out in any such representation or warranty shall be disregarded.

Except with respect to Fundamental Representations, Retained Taxes, Environmental Liabilities and Costs, and the items set forth on Schedules 3.1.5, 3.1.8, 3.1.9(a), 3.1.18(b), 3.1.19, 3.1.20(d), 3.1.21(b), 3.1.21(c), 3.1.21(d), and 3.1.22 (including for the avoidance of doubt, any amendments in the Schedules to this Agreement prior to Closing under Section 4.18 relating to the foregoing provisions), Weatherford shall not be required to indemnify the Acquiror Indemnitees with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to (i) Section 9.2(a)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all claims against Weatherford under such clause exceed $7,500,000 less the Incurred Pre-Closing Contract Liabilities or (ii) Section 9.2(a)(iii) unless and until the aggregate amount of all claims against Weatherford under such clause exceed $3,000,000 less the Incurred Pre-Closing Contract Liabilities (the “Deductible”), and with respect to each of clauses (i) and (ii), only for such excess amount. Except with respect to Fundamental Representations, Weatherford shall not be obligated to provide indemnification in excess of fifteen percent (15%) of the Purchase Price for all indemnifiable claims under Section 9.2(a)(i). Except with respect to Fundamental Representations, no claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) for any individual item where the claim for Losses related thereto, aggregated with all claims arising out of the same or similar facts or circumstances, is less than $50,000, and if such claim (as so aggregated) does not exceed such amount, the amount of such claim shall not be taken into account in determining whether, or to the extent to which, the Deductible has been exceeded. Except with respect to Section 9.2(a)(iii), the aggregate liability of Weatherford to the Acquiror Indemnitees under Section 9.2(a) shall not exceed seventy-fifty percent (75%) of the Purchase Price.

Acquiror Indemnitees shall not be entitled to make any claim under this Section 9.2(a) in respect of any matter to the extent that such matter has been taken into account as a liability or reduction to the final Closing Working Capital Balance determined in accordance with Section 2.6.

60

(b)By Acquiror. Acquiror agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless each of Weatherford, Asset Sellers, the Share Sellers and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisers, Representatives and Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses resulting from:

(i)the breach of any representation or warranty made by Acquiror or its Affiliates in this Agreement, in any Foreign Acquisition Agreement as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of such date (except for representation and warranties made as of a specified date, then as of such specified date);

(ii)any failure of any Buyer or its Affiliates to perform any covenant or agreement hereunder, in any Foreign Acquisition Agreement;

(iii)the Assumed Liabilities; and

(iv)other than the Excluded Liabilities, the operation of the Business by any Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates following the Closing Date.

(c)Exclusive Remedy. Other than (i) as set forth in Section 4.5, (ii) with respect to any claim for fraud or willful misconduct that any indemnified party may have under applicable Law, and (iii) the Ancillary Agreements, after the Closing, indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the parties hereto with respect to matters arising under this Agreement of any kind or nature, including for any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty, covenant, or other provision contained in this Agreement, and the parties hereto hereby waive and release any other rights, remedies, causes of action, or claims that either of them have or that may arise against any other party with respect thereto.

(d)Mitigation. Each party shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate any of its Losses to the extent required under applicable Laws upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including taking such actions and pursuing claims against third parties that may be responsible or otherwise liable for such Losses. Each of the parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate with the others with respect to resolving any Losses to the extent required under applicable Laws with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder; provided, however, that such party shall not be required to make such efforts if they would be detrimental in any material respect to such party.

(e)Notice of Claims. If a claim for Losses (a “Claim”) is to be made by a party entitled to indemnification hereunder against the indemnifying party, the party claiming such indemnification shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying party as soon as practicable after the party entitled to indemnification becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Losses for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 9.2; provided, however, that the failure to provide such written notice shall not excuse the indemnifying party from any of its obligations under this Section 9.2 except to the extent (and only to the extent) that such failure shall have caused the Losses for which the indemnifying

61

party is obligated to be greater than such Losses would have been had the indemnified party given the indemnifying party prompt notice hereunder.

(f)Defense of Third Party Claims. If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed by a third party against any party entitled to the benefit of indemnity hereunder with respect thereto, written notice thereof shall be given to the indemnifying party as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 15 calendar days after the service of the citation or summons). The failure of any indemnified party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been damaged by such failure as described in the proviso to Section 9.2(e). After such notice, if (1) the indemnifying party shall acknowledge in writing to the indemnified party that the indemnifying party is obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder to indemnify the indemnified party in connection with such lawsuit or action, and (2) such third party claim is solely for monetary losses, then the indemnifying party shall be entitled, if it elects to do so, at its own cost, risk and expense, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action, (ii) to employ and engage legal counsel of its own choice, but, in any event, reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party, to handle and defend the same unless the named parties to such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and the indemnified party has been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, in which event the indemnified party shall be entitled, at the indemnifying party’s cost, risk and expense, to separate counsel of its own choosing. The indemnifying party shall not, without the written consent of the indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (x) settle or compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the indemnified party from all Liability in respect of such Claim or (y) settle or compromise any Claim if the settlement imposes equitable remedies or obligations on the indemnified party other than financial obligations for which such indemnified party will be fully indemnified hereunder. No Claim which is being defended in good faith by the indemnifying party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be settled or compromised by the indemnified party without the written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

If the indemnifying party fails to assume the defense of such lawsuit or action within 30 calendar days after receipt of the Claim Notice or is not permitted to assume such defense pursuant to this Section 9.2(f), the indemnified party against which such lawsuit or action has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the indemnifying party) have the right to undertake, at the indemnifying party’s cost and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such lawsuit or action on behalf of and for the account and risk of the indemnifying party; provided, however, that such lawsuit or action shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the indemnified party settles or compromises such lawsuit or action without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will bear no Liability hereunder for or with respect to such lawsuit or action unless the indemnifying party unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed its consent. In the event either party assumes the defense of a particular lawsuit or action in the

62

manner contemplated above, the party assuming such defense will keep the other party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. The indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action effected pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 9.2 and for any final judgment (subject to any right of appeal), and the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party from and against any Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment. Each of the parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate with the other party to allow the other party to fulfill its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, including by making available employees with knowledge, and documentation, relevant to the indemnifiable claim, provided that the indemnifying party shall be liable for the indemnified party’s out-of-pocket expenses in this regard. To the extent of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 9.2(f) and the provisions of Section 6.5 with respect to a Tax Contest, the provisions of Section 6.5 shall control.

(g)Additional Agreements. (A) To the extent that any Losses that are subject to indemnification under this Agreement are covered by insurance, the amount of any indemnity payment shall be net of the Net Proceeds of any insurance policy paid to the indemnified party with respect to such Losses, (B) any indemnification under this Agreement shall be decreased by the amount of any Tax Benefit and (C) any Losses that are subject to indemnification under this Agreement shall be decreased to the extent that such Losses are reflected as a reserve or accrual in the Closing Working Capital Balance. For purposes of this Section 9.2(g), “Net Proceeds” shall mean the insurance proceeds actually recovered under the applicable insurance policy, less any expenses of recovery, deductibles, and/or co-payments. If any amounts are reimbursed under insurance coverage subsequent to indemnification under this ARTICLE IX, the indemnified party shall reimburse the indemnifying party in an amount equal to the amounts subsequently received by the indemnified party or its Affiliates under insurance coverage (net of the expenses of recovery). For purposes of this Section 9.2(g), to the extent a Tax Benefit is not realized in the year in which the indemnity payment is required to be made, the indemnified party (or any Affiliate thereof) shall pay to the indemnifying party (or any Affiliate thereof) the amount of such Tax Benefit when it is realized. Losses shall be determined after taking into account any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by the indemnified party from any third party with respect thereto, less any costs and expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection therewith, including an obligation to reimburse the indemnifying party in an amount equal to the amount subsequently received by the indemnified party or its Affiliates from any third party (net of the costs and expenses incurred by the indemnified party or its Affiliates in connection with any such recovery).

Exhibit 99.1

WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL PLC

UNAUDTED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On December31,2014, Weatherford International plc (“Weatherford”) closed the previously announced sale of its engineered chemistry and Integrity drilling fluids businesses to an affiliate of The Lubrizol Corporation, a Berkshire Hathaway company (“Lubrizol”), for a purchase price of $750 million, subject to a customary post-closing working capital adjustment. In connection with the closing, the United States and Canadian portions of the businesses have been transferred to Lubrizol, while the remaining foreign portions of the businesses will be transferred throughout 2015. Weatherford may also receive a potential increase of $75 million from an earnout tied to the post-closing performance of the disposed businesses during the twelve month period after the closing date. The sale includes manufacturing, storage, research and development facilities, additives and chemicals inventories, and patented technologies and processes for application in engineered chemistry treatments for stimulation and drilling operations.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of Weatherford International plc as of September 30, 2014 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were derived from our historical condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations gives effect to the disposition of the engineered chemistry and Integrity drilling fluids businesses as if the disposition occurred on January 1, 2013. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet assumes the disposition of the engineered chemistry and Integrity drilling fluids businesses occurred on September 30, 2014. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements and accompanying notes.

The pro forma adjustments are based on the best information available and assumptions that management believes are factually supportable and reasonable; however, such adjustments are estimates and subject to change. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated information is for illustrative and informational purposes only and is not intended to reflect what our condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations would have been had the disposition occurred on the dates indicated and is not necessarily indicative of our future condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The pro forma adjustments remove the engineered chemistry and Integrity drilling fluids assets, liabilities and results of operations, and give effect to the following items:

• An adjustment to reflect the net cash proceeds used to repay debt and the gain on the sale of the engineered chemistry and Integrity drilling fluids businesses;

• An adjustment to interest expense associated with the repayment of company debt;

• An adjustment to reflect the tax impact on the gain from the sale of engineered chemistry and Integrity drilling fluids businesses; and

• An adjustment to reflect accrued liabilities for estimated professional fees and closing costs related to the sale of the engineered chemistry and Integrity drilling fluids businesses.

Our unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations do not include adjustments for all of the costs of operating after the disposition of the engineered chemistry and Integrity drilling fluids businesses, since they are not factually supportable and recurring.

News Release

Weatherford Completes Sale of Engineered Chemistry and Drilling Fluids Businesses

and Monetizes Proserv Interest

BAAR, Switzerland, December31,2014 – Weatherford International plc (NYSE: WFT) closed the previously announced sale of the Company's engineered chemistry and Integrity drilling fluids businesses to an affiliate of The Lubrizol Corporation, a Berkshire Hathaway company, for a purchase price of $750 million, subject to a customary post-closing working capital adjustment. Weatherford may also receive a potential increase of $75 million from an earnout tied to the post-closing performance of the disposed businesses during the twelve month period after the closing date. Cash proceeds from the sale will be used to repay or repurchase debt.

In addition, on December 23, 2014, the Company completed the disposition of all of its shares of Proserv Group Inc. (“Proserv”). As previously announced, Proserv was acquired by affiliates of investor Riverstone Holdings LLC, in partnership with Proserv management. Proceeds received by Weatherford were used to repay or repurchase debt.

Bernard J. Duroc-Danner, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Weatherford stated: “We are pleased with the closing of these transactions. The divestments are another step in Weatherford’s previously announced plans to monetize the company’s non-core businesses. These transactions bring our total realized cash divestiture proceeds to over $1.7 billion for 2014, significantly exceeding our previously stated divestment target of $1 billion. With these proceeds, the level of debt that Weatherford carries at year end will be well below our own targets and de-risks the company substantially ahead of a cyclically challenged year in the industry.”
