or in such other capacity or capacities of equivalent status as shall reasonably be nominated by the Board. 


  

	2.2	 Subject to the provisions for termination contained in Clause 13.1 this Agreement shall commence on the
Commencement Date and shall continue until determined by not less than X weeks prior written notice given by either party to the other. For the purpose of this Clause, X shall be equal to one week’s notice for every complete year
of the Executive’s continuous service with the Company or any Group Company up to a maximum of 12 weeks. The date of commencement of the Executive’s continuous service for statutory purposes is 10 October 2011. 



 

	2.3	 The Company may terminate this Agreement without notice at any time including in those circumstances contained
within Clause 13.1 of this Agreement. Subject always to Clause 2.4 below, in circumstances where this Agreement is terminated by the Company other than in accordance with Clause 13.1 below, the Company shall, subject to and conditional upon:
(a) the rules, terms and conditions of the Frank’s International N.V. U.S. Executive Retention and Severance Plan (as amended from 



  
 -4- 













	 	
time to time, the “Retention Plan”); (b) the Executive executing a Settlement Agreement within 14 days of termination of his employment with the Company; and (c) the
Executive’s employment terminating in circumstances where he would be entitled to receive Severance Benefits under the Retention Plan, pay to the Executive Severance Benefits subject to such deductions as are required by law or otherwise
permitted under the Retention Plan, which Severance Benefits would, for the avoidance of doubt, be inclusive of any payments or other benefits to which the Executive would otherwise be entitled in connection with his employment or its termination
(including any payment in lieu of any unexpired portion of his notice period). For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive is a Covered Executive under the Retention Plan, agrees to participate in the Retention Plan and to comply with its terms,
conditions and restrictions and specifically acknowledges and agrees to the restrictions imposed upon him under Sections 11, 12 and 14 of this Agreement. The Company agrees to participate in the Retention Plan as a participating Employer. This
Agreement shall serve as the Executive’s Participation Agreement under the Retention Plan. Capitalised terms used in this Clause 2.3 shall have the meanings given to them in the Retention Plan. If the Company decides not to exercise its rights
under this Clause, the Executive’s sole remedy shall be a claim in damages, which is subject to a duty to mitigate his loss. Any payment the Company may decide to make under this Clause shall be in full and final settlement of all contractual
claims.

payments under Section 3 of the Change in Control Plan (“Change in Control Severance Benefits”), the Company will pay to the Executive Change in Control Severance Benefits, subject to such deductions as are required by law or
otherwise permitted under the Change in Control Plan. The Change in Control Severance Benefits would, for the avoidance of doubt, be inclusive of any payments or other benefits to which the Executive would otherwise be entitled in connection with
his employment or its termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive is a Covered Executive under the Change in Control Plan, agrees to participate in the Change in Control Plan and to comply with its terms, conditions and restrictions and
the Company agrees to participate in the Change in Control Plan as a participating Employer. This Agreement shall serve as the Executive’s Participation Agreement under the Change in Control Plan. If the Executive becomes eligible for change in
Control Severance Benefits under the Change in Control Plan, the outplacement assistance benefits described therein shall consist of outplacement assistance provided for the period beginning on the Termination Date and ending on the last day of the
second calendar year following the Termination Date, or until subsequent employment is obtained, whichever occurs first, and shall not exceed US$ 15,000 in the aggregate. Such outplacement assistance shall be provided through a vendor selected by a
Group Company, with any Group Company providing direct payment to such vendor. Capitalised terms used in this Clause 2.4 shall, unless defined elsewhere in this Agreement, have the meanings given to them in the Change in Control Plan.
