Ladies and Gentlemen:

Weatherford International, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), proposes to sell to you and the other initial purchasers named in Schedule I hereto (each, an “Initial Purchaser” and, collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), for whom you are acting as representative (in such capacity, the “Representative”), $600,000,000 principal amount of its 9.875% senior notes due 2025 (the “Notes”). As used herein, the term “Securities” collectively refers to the Notes and the Guarantees (as defined below). The Securities are to be issued under an Indenture, dated June 18, 2007 (the “Base Indenture”), as heretofore amended and supplemented by the Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Supplemental Indentures, and as to be amended and supplemented by a Sixth Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”), to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below), among the Company, the Guarantors (as defined below) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Trustee”) (the Base Indenture, as so amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”), and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis (the “Guarantees”) by Weatherford International plc, an Irish public limited company (the “Parent Guarantor”), and Weatherford International Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“Weatherford Bermuda” and, together with the Parent Guarantor, the “Guarantors”), as set forth in the Indenture.

The holders of the Securities will be entitled to the benefits of a registration rights agreement, to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers, pursuant to which the Company and the Guarantors will agree to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), under the circumstances set forth therein, (i) a registration statement under the Act (as defined below) relating to another series of debt securities of the Company with terms substantially identical to the Notes (the “Exchange Notes”) to be offered in exchange for the Notes (the “Exchange Offer”) and (ii) to the extent required by the Registration Rights Agreement, a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act relating to the resale by certain holders of

the Notes, and in each case, to use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective. The Exchange Notes and the Guarantees attached hereto are herein collectively referred to as the “Exchange Securities.”

The Company understands that the Initial Purchasers propose to make an offering of the Securities on the terms and in the manner set forth herein and in the Pricing Disclosure Package (as defined below) and agrees that the Initial Purchasers may resell, subject to the conditions set forth herein, all or a portion of the Securities to purchasers (the “Subsequent Purchasers”) on the terms set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package (the first time when sales of the Securities are made is referred to as the “Time of Sale”). The Securities are to be offered and sold to or through the Initial Purchasers without being registered with the Commission under the Act, in reliance upon exemptions therefrom. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities and the Indenture, investors who acquire the Securities will be deemed to have agreed that the Securities may only be resold or otherwise transferred, after the date hereof, if such Securities are registered for sale under the Act or if an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act is available (including the exemptions afforded by Rule 144A under the Act (“Rule 144A”) or Regulation S under the Act (“Regulation S”)).

The Company has prepared and delivered to the Initial Purchasers a Preliminary Offering Memorandum, dated February 21, 2018 (the “Preliminary Memorandum”), and has prepared and delivered to the Initial Purchasers a Pricing Supplement, dated February 21, 2018 (the “Pricing Supplement”), describing the terms of the Securities, each for use by each Initial Purchaser in connection with its solicitation of offers to purchase the Securities. The Preliminary Memorandum and the Pricing Supplement are herein referred to as the “Pricing Disclosure Package.” Promptly after this Agreement is executed and delivered, the Company will prepare and deliver to the Initial Purchasers a Final Offering Memorandum dated the date hereof (the “Final Memorandum”).

The Company hereby confirms its agreements with the Initial Purchasers as follows:

1.Representations and Warranties. The Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally represent and warrant to, and agree with, the Initial Purchasers as set forth below in this Section 1 (references in this Section 1 to the “Offering Memorandum” are to (x) the Pricing Disclosure Package in the case of representations and warranties made as of the date hereof and (y) the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum in the case of representations and warranties made as of the Closing Date).

(a)Subject to compliance by the Initial Purchasers with the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 hereof and with the procedures set forth in Section 8 hereof, it is not necessary in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers and to each Subsequent Purchaser in the manner contemplated by this Agreement and the Offering Memorandum to register the Securities under the Act or, until such time as the Exchange Securities are issued pursuant to an effective registration statement, to qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act (as defined below).

(b)None of the Company, its affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Act) (each, an “Affiliate”), or any person acting on its or any of their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom the Company makes no representation or warranty) has, directly or indirectly, solicited any offer to buy or offered to sell, or will, directly or indirectly, solicit any offer to buy or offer to sell, in the United States or to any United States citizen or resident, any security which is or would be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the Securities to be registered under the Act. None of the Company, its Affiliates, or any person acting on its or any of their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom the Company makes no representation or

warranty) has engaged or will engage, in connection with the offering of the Securities, in any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502 under the Act. With respect to those Securities sold in reliance upon Regulation S, (i) none of the Company, its Affiliates or any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom the Company makes no representation or warranty) has engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts within the meaning of Regulation S and (ii) each of the Company and its Affiliates and any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom the Company makes no representation or warranty) has complied and will comply with the offering restrictions set forth in Regulation S.

(c)The Securities are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A and will not be, at the Closing Date, of the same class as securities listed on a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Exchange Act (as defined below) or quoted in a U.S. automated interdealer quotation system.

Each such communication by the Company, the Guarantors or their agents and representatives pursuant to clause (iii) of the preceding sentence (each, a “Company Additional Written Communication”), when taken together with the Pricing Disclosure Package, did not as of the Time of Sale, and at the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that this representation, warranty and agreement shall not apply to statements in or omissions from each such Company Additional Written Communication made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers expressly for use in any Company Additional Written Communication.

(c)Upon original issuance by the Company, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the Act, the Notes (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, other than the Exchange Notes) shall bear a legend in substantially the form set forth under “Transfer Restrictions” in the Preliminary Memorandum.

Following the sale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers to Subsequent Purchasers pursuant to the terms hereof, the Initial Purchasers shall not be liable or responsible to the Company for any losses, damages or liabilities suffered or incurred by the Company, including any losses, damages or liabilities under the Act, arising from or relating to any resale or transfer of any Security.

9.Indemnification and Contribution.

(a)Each of the Company and the Guarantors agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its Affiliates, directors, officers and employees, and each person who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Communication or the Final Memorandum, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or

arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that each of the Company and the Guarantors will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and the Guarantors by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser specifically for inclusion therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser consists of the information described as such in Section 9(b) hereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company or the Guarantors may otherwise have.

(b)Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors, each of their respective directors or members and each person who controls the Company or the Guarantors within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Guarantors to such Initial Purchaser, but only with reference to written information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company and the Guarantors by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which each Initial Purchaser may otherwise have. Each of the Company and the Guarantors acknowledges that the statements set forth (i) in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Securities and (ii) under the heading “Plan of Distribution,” in the last three paragraphs before the heading “-Other Relationships” in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser for inclusion in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Communication or the Final Memorandum.

(c)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be

legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party; provided, however, that an indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one such separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 9(a) or (b) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days before such settlement is entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request or disputed in good faith the indemnified party’s entitlement to such reimbursement prior to the date of such settlement. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent: (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include an admission of fault by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d)In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company, the Guarantors and each Initial Purchaser severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company, the Guarantors and such Initial Purchaser may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and by such Initial Purchaser, on the other, from the offering of the Securities. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company, the Guarantors and each Initial Purchaser severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and of such Initial Purchaser, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by them, and benefits received by each Initial Purchaser shall be deemed to be equal to the total discount received by such Initial Purchaser, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Final Memorandum. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company or the Guarantors, on the one hand, or any Initial Purchaser, on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company, the Guarantors and each Initial Purchaser agree that it would

not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), in no event shall any Initial Purchaser be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discount received by such Initial Purchaser with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each person who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, affiliate and agent of such Initial Purchaser shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each person who controls the Company or the Guarantors within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director or member of the Company or the Guarantors shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Guarantors, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

10.Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment (i) (A) trading in the Parent Guarantor’s Ordinary Shares or any securities of the Parent Guarantor shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange or (B) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or in The NASDAQ Stock Market shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on either of such exchanges, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal, Bermuda, Ireland or New York State authorities, (iii) there shall have occurred a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representative, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Preliminary Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement or the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

11.Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities, rights of contribution and other statements of the Company, the Guarantors or their respective officers and of the Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser or the Company, the Guarantors or any of the officers, directors, employees, affiliates or controlling persons referred to in Section 9 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 9 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

12.Recognition of Bail-In.

(a)Notwithstanding and to the exclusion of any other term of this Agreement or any other agreements, arrangements or understanding between the Initial Purchasers and the Company and the Guarantors, the Company and each of the Guarantors acknowledges and accepts that a BRRD Liability arising under this Agreement may be subject to the exercise of Bail-in Powers by the Relevant Resolution Authority, and acknowledges, accepts, and agrees to be bound by:

Each of the Company and the Guarantors agrees that it will not claim that any Initial Purchaser has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to either the Company or the Guarantors, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Initial Purchaser hereunder, such Initial Purchaser agrees to pay to the Company or such Guarantor, as applicable, an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to such Initial Purchaser hereunder.
