9.2 Indemnifications.

(a) Subject to Sections 9.1, 9.4 and 9.6 hereof, Weatherford US (solely with respect to the Weatherford US Business) and Weatherford CA (solely with respect to the Weatherford Canadian Business) hereby agree to indemnify and hold the Schlumberger Entities, as applicable, and their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Schlumberger Indemnified Parties”) and the JV Companies, as applicable, and their directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents, attorneys, representative, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against:

(i) any and all losses, liabilities, obligations and damages (individually, a “Loss” and, collectively, “Losses”) based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure of any representations or

warranty of the Weatherford Entities set forth in this Agreement or in any Weatherford Document, to be true and correct in all respects at the date hereof or at the Closing Date;

(ii) any and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from the breach of any covenant or other agreement on the part of the Weatherford Entities under this Agreement or any Weatherford Document;

(iii) any and all Losses based upon or arising directly from any Weatherford Excluded Asset or any Weatherford Excluded Liability (other than Losses relating to Taxes for which indemnification provisions are set forth in Section 9.5(a)); and

(iv) any and all notices, actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, assessments, judgments, costs, penalties and expenses, including attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Expenses”) incident to any and all Losses with respect to which indemnification is provided hereunder or Section 9.5(a).

(b) Subject to Sections 9.1, 9.4 and 9.6 hereof, STC (solely with respect to the Schlumberger US Business) and SCL (solely with respect to the Schlumberger Canadian Business) hereby agree to indemnify and hold the Weatherford Entities, as applicable, and their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Weatherford Indemnified Parties”) and the Company Indemnified Parties harmless from and against:

(iv) any and all Expenses incident to any and all Losses with respect to which indemnification is provided hereunder or Section 9.5(b).

9.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) In the event that any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted or that any claim or demand (“Claim”) shall be asserted by a third party in respect of which payment may be sought under Section 9.2 hereof (regardless of the limitations set forth in Section 9.4), the indemnified party shall reasonably and promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory

to the indemnified party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder. If the indemnifying party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, it shall within fifteen (15) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Claim so requires) notify the indemnified party of its intent to do so. If the indemnifying party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, the indemnified party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Claim at the expense of the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any Claim, the indemnified party may participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.3 to the contrary, neither the indemnifying party nor the indemnified party shall, without the written consent of the other party, settle or compromise any indemnifiable Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment unless the claimant and such party provide to such other party an unqualified release from all liability in respect of the indemnifiable Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a settlement offer solely for money damages is made by the applicable third party claimant, and the indemnifying party notifies the indemnified party in writing of the indemnifying party’s willingness to accept the settlement offer and, subject to the applicable limitations of Sections 9.4, pay the amount called for by such offer, and the indemnified party declines to accept such offer, the indemnified party may continue to contest such indemnifiable Claim, free of any participation by the indemnifying party, and the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such indemnifiable Claim that the indemnifying party has an obligation to pay hereunder shall be limited to the lesser of (A) the amount of the settlement offer that the indemnified party declined to accept plus the Losses of the indemnified party relating to such indemnifiable Claim through the date of its rejection of the settlement offer or (B) the aggregate Losses of the indemnified party with respect to such indemnifiable Claim. If the indemnifying party makes any payment on any indemnifiable Claim, the

indemnifying party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the indemnified party to any insurance benefits or other Claims of the indemnified party with respect to such indemnifiable Claim.

(b) After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to a Claim hereunder, the indemnified party shall forward to the indemnifying party notice of any sums due and owing by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter.

9.4 Limitations on Indemnification for Breaches of Representations and Warranties.

(a) An indemnifying party shall not have any liability under Section 9.2(a)(i) or Section 9.2(b)(i) hereof unless the aggregate amount of Losses and Expenses to the indemnified parties finally determined to arise thereunder based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct, other than the Fundamental Representations, exceeds $5,000,000 (the “Basket”) and, in such event, the indemnifying party shall be required to pay the entire amount of such Losses and Expenses.

(b) Neither the Weatherford Entities nor the Schlumberger Entities shall be required to indemnify any Person under Sections 9.2(a)(i) or 9.2(b)(i) for an aggregate amount of Losses exceeding $350,000,000 (the “Cap”) in connection with Losses related to the breach of any representation and warranty of the Weatherford Entities or the Schlumberger Entities in Articles V and VI, respectively other than for the breach of any Fundamental Representation; provided, that if a Loss is subject to indemnification under both (x) Section 9.2(a)(i) or Section 9.2(b)(i) and (y) Section 9.2(a)(iii) or Section 9.2(b)(iii), then the Cap shall not apply.

(c) Except with respect to the first sentence of Section 5.6 and Section 6.6, for purposes of calculating Losses hereunder, any materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifications in the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall be ignored.

9.5 Tax Indemnification.

(a) The Weatherford Entities hereby agree to be liable for and to indemnify and hold the Schlumberger Indemnified Parties and the Company Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all Losses and Expenses in respect of (i) all Taxes relating to the Weatherford Business or the Weatherford Contributed Assets with respect to any Taxable period, or portion thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date; (ii) all Taxes of the Weatherford Entities or any member of a consolidated, combined or unitary group of which either of the Weatherford Entities is or was a member, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6(a) (or any predecessor or successor thereof or any analogous or similar provision under state, local or foreign Law); (iii) any Transfer Taxes allocated to the Weatherford Entities pursuant to Section 7.12(c); (iv) any failure by either of the Weatherford Entities to timely pay any and all Taxes or Transfer Taxes required to be borne by the Weatherford Entities pursuant to this Agreement; and (v) any Weatherford Successor Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Weatherford Entities shall not

indemnify nor hold the Schlumberger Indemnified Parties or the Company Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any Losses or Expenses in respect of Taxes relating to the Weatherford Business or the Weatherford Contributed Assets with respect to any Taxable period, or portion thereof, beginning after the Closing Date.

(b) The Schlumberger Entities hereby agree to be liable for and to indemnify and hold the Weatherford Indemnified Parties and the Company Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all Losses and Expenses in respect of (i) all Taxes relating to the Schlumberger Business or the Schlumberger Contributed Assets with respect to any Taxable period, or portion thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date; (ii) all Taxes of the Schlumberger Entities or any member of a consolidated, combined or unitary group of which either of the Schlumberger Entities is or was a member, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6(a) (or any predecessor or successor thereof or any analogous or similar provision under state, local or foreign Law); (iii) any Transfer Taxes allocated to the Schlumberger Entities pursuant to Section 7.12(c); (iv) any failure by either of the Schlumberger Entities to timely pay any and all Taxes or Transfer Taxes required to be borne by the Schlumberger Entities pursuant to this Agreement; and (v) any Schlumberger Successor Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Schlumberger Entities shall not indemnify nor hold the Weatherford Indemnified Parties or the Company Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any Losses or Expenses in respect of Taxes relating to the Schlumberger Business or the Schlumberger Contributed Assets with respect to any Taxable period, or portion thereof, beginning after the Closing Date.

(c) For purposes of this Section 9.5 and clause (e) of the definition of Excluded Liabilities, in the case of a taxable period that includes the Closing Date, Taxes shall be allocated to the periods before and after the Closing Date as follows: (i) in the case of Taxes such as property taxes, such Taxes shall be allocated to periods before and after the Closing Date on a per diem basis and (ii) in the case of Taxes based on net or gross income, or transactional taxes such as sales taxes, the portion of such Taxes allocable to the period before the Closing Date shall be computed on the assumption that the taxable period ended on the Closing Date.

9.6 No Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no party shall, in any event, be liable to any other Person for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages of such other Person, including loss of future revenue, income or profits, diminution of value or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach hereof, except for an indemnifying party’s obligation to an indemnified party for consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages of any third party.

9.7 Exclusive Remedy; Negligence of Indemnified Parties. The indemnification obligations of the parties under this Article IX shall be the exclusive remedy for any claim by any party against any other party based on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall be effective regardless of by whom asserted, and regardless of whether any Claim or Loss results solely or in part from the active, passive or concurrent negligence (but not gross negligence) of any of the parties to be indemnified; provided, however, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this

Agreement, that this Section 9.7 shall not apply to liability for fraud or willful breach (it being understood that, for purposes of this Agreement, “willful breach” shall mean a material breach that is the consequence of an omission by, or act undertaken by or caused by, the breaching party with the knowledge that the omission or taking or causing of such act would cause a breach of this Agreement).
