6.70% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2038
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of 6.70% Senior Notes Due 2038 (the “Securities”) of Halliburton Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The Issuer issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of October 17, 2003 (the “Original Indenture”) between the Issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 12, 2008 (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”). Capitalized terms used herein for which no definition is provided herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.
1. Interest. The Issuer promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at 6.70% per annum from September 12, 2008 until maturity. The Issuer will pay interest semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent Interest Payment Date on which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from September 12, 2008;providedthat if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Security is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date;provided,further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be March 15, 2009. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
2. Method of Payment. The Issuer will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of business on the record date next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Securities are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this Security to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer will pay the principal of and interest on the Securities in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Such amounts shall be payable at the offices of the Trustee or any Paying Agent, provided that at the option of the Issuer, the Issuer may pay such amounts (1) by wire transfer with respect to Securities represented by a Global Note or (2) by check payable in such money mailed to a Holder’s registered address with respect to any Security.
3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or additional paying agent without notice to any Holder. The Issuer or any of the Issuer’s subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
4. Indenture. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of execution of the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the
B-5
TIA for a statement of such terms. The Securities are unsecured senior obligations of the Issuer and rank equally with all of the Issuer’s existing and future unsecured indebtedness. The Indenture provides for the issuance of other series of debt securities thereunder.
5. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not exchange or register the transfer of any Securities during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
6. Redemption. No sinking fund is provided for the Securities. At any time and from time to time the Securities will be redeemable, in the Issuer’s sole discretion, in whole or in part, in principal amounts of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof for an amount equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and (ii) as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Securities being redeemed, discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 37.5 basis points. In each case, the Issuer will pay accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. In the event of any such redemption, interest will accrue up to and including the date of redemption. Unless there is a default in payment of the redemption amount, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions thereof called for redemption.
7. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Security shall be treated as its owner for all purposes.
8. Amendments and Waivers. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented by the Issuer and the Trustee with the written consent (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of any one or more series or all series or a solicitation of consents in respect of the Securities of any one or more series or all series, provided that in each case such offer or solicitation is made to all Holders of then outstanding Securities of each such series (but the terms of such offer or solicitation may vary from series to series)) of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of all series under the Indenture affected by such amendment or supplement (acting as one class), and any existing or past Default or Event of Default under, or compliance with any provision of, the Indenture may be waived (other than any continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on the Securities) by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series or of all series (acting as one class) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

(11) evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities and to add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts thereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.08 of the Indenture; or
(12) make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of any series of Securities under the Indenture.
