establish the price applicable to that Service or Material, if lower than the pricing under the Pricing Book Terms, including any agreed upon discounts. If Contractor does not exercise its right to perform the Work at a price equal to ninety-nine
percent (99%) of the lowest bid for economic reasons and not for reasons of equipment or personnel availability, then Company shall be free to utilize Third Party service providers for such Work and for the duration of performance under the
applicable Work Order or Drilling Contract, as applicable. Contractor shall have the right to audit Company’s books and records, subject to prior notice by Contractor to Company and conducted during Company’s normal working hours, to
confirm compliance with this Section 2.6.

considered in breach of this Agreement in the event that Company is prohibited from solely approving Contractor for any Work by reason of any of Company’s obligations existing under any of the agreements set forth on Schedule 2.7.

such agreements for Contractor to perform such Work.
