of the Company’s and the Employer’s interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this letter shall preclude you from devoting reasonable periods of time to charitable and community activities, managing personal investment assets
and, subject to Board approval (which will not be unreasonably withheld), serving on boards of other companies (public or private) not in competition with the Company or the Employer, provided that none of these activities interferes with the
performance of your duties hereunder or creates a conflict of interest. 
 Location

Annual Bonus 
 During your employment, you will be
eligible to participate in the Employer’s annual short-term incentive program, which shall provide you with an opportunity to receive an annual, calendar-year bonus, based on corporate and individual performance criteria as may be determined by
the Employer. It is expected that your target bonus opportunity will be 75% of your base salary. You must remain continuously employed through the bonus payment date to be eligible to receive an annual bonus payment for a calendar year. Your bonus
opportunity for the 2021 calendar year will be calculated separately for the period prior to your transition date and for the period after your transition date. 
  





 











 



 
 Equity Grants 

During your employment, you will be eligible to receive annual grants of equity-based incentive awards under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan

receive an initial LTIP award with grant date target value of approximately $465,000 (the “Initial LTIP Award”). It is expected that the Initial LTIP Award will be allocated among time based restricted stock units
(60%) and performance based restricted stock units (40%), in each cased generally subject to your continued service through the relevant vesting dates, and the terms and conditions of the relevant award agreements. You may review the applicable plan

employment will be at-will, meaning that you or the Employer may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice and for any reason or no particular reason.
Although your compensation and benefits may change from time to time, the at-will nature of your employment may only be changed by an express written agreement signed by an authorized officer of the Employer.

The Company maintains an Executive Retention & Severance Plan and an Executive
Change-in-Control Severance Plan for officers and other key personnel in the event that the Company is acquired. The provisions of these plans are set forth in the Plan

A copy of the applicable plans and participation agreements have been enclosed for your review.

Dear Nigel: 
 Dear Mr. Lakey: 

This letter (the “Letter Agreement”) is written in connection with your rights under the Frank’s International N.V. Amended and Restated
U.S. Executive Change-in-Control Severance Plan (the “Plan”), sponsored by Frank’s International, N.V. (the “Company”) for the benefit of its key executives. The Plan provides severance protection to our key
executives during the twenty-four (24) month period immediately following a “Change-in-Control” transaction, provided that an executive must be terminated without “Cause” or resign for “Good Reason,” as each such
term is defined by the Plan. 
 On March 11, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Expro Group Holdings International Limited
(“Expro”) which will result in the merger of Expro with and into a subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). If the Merger is completed, it will constitute a Change-in-Control for the Company under the Plan.
Assuming the Merger is completed, your role with the Company will change in a manner that would allow you to resign for Good Reason under Section 2(d)(i) of the Plan by filing a written notice with the Company during the forty-five
(45) day period following the date the Company’s new management structure becomes effective. 
 We would like to offer you the opportunity to
continue your employment as a key member of the Company’s executive leadership after the Merger in the role of Senior Vice President, Portfolio Advancement. We believe your services in this role will be critical to the success of the Merger and
that you will decide to remain a key executive of the Company following the twelve (12) month integration period for the Merger (the “Integration Period”). 

In order to avoid the uncertainties associated with the limited time period during which you may resign for Good Reason following the date the Merger is
completed (the “Merger Date”), we have decided to offer you a right to receive severance from the Company in an amount equal to the severance benefit you would receive from the Company if you resigned for Good Reason under the
Plan’s terms due to the change in your role following the Merger Date. This would be provided as follows: 
  

	 	•	 	 You will waive your right to resign for Good Reason due to the change in your role from Senior Vice President,
Technology to Senior Vice President, Portfolio Advancement. You will also waive your right to resign for Good Reason under the Plan for any other event which occurs during the Integration Period. This will be deemed to have occurred if you sign this
Letter Agreement. 


  

	 	•	 	 If you continue to provide services to the Company until the end of the Integration Period, you will be permitted
to make a one-time election to resign your employment with the Company during the forty-five (45) day period immediately following the Integration Period. If you elect to resign your employment at that time, you will receive severance benefits
from the Company equivalent to the severance benefits you would have received if you had resigned your employment for Good Reason during the forty-five (45) day period after the Merger Date, provided the calculation of your severance benefits
shall be made at time you resign. These amounts will be paid at the same time and in the same manner as provided by the Plan, the terms of which shall be incorporated into this Letter Agreement by reference. 



  
 



 













 



 
  


	 	•	 	 You will remain eligible to receive severance benefits under the Plan if your employment is terminated by the
Company without “Cause”, as defined by the Plan, during the twenty-four (24) month period following the Merger Date. 


  

	 	•	 	 If you receive severance benefits under the Plan, you will not be entitled to receive any severance benefits
under this Letter Agreement. 


 Please note that your execution of this Letter Agreement will cause any severance benefits you receive
under the Plan or this Letter Agreement, as applicable, to be subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. This will cause the provisions of Section 7(n) of the Plan to apply to any severance benefits you
receive under the Plan or this Letter Agreement in the future and will result in a delay in payment of such amounts until six (6) months following your “separation from service” with the Company. 

If the above correctly reflects our understanding and agreement with respect to the foregoing matters, please so confirm by executing and returning this
Letter Agreement to me. 
 We look forward to hearing from you. 

Sincerely,

 Acceptance of Offer 
 I
have read, understood and accept all the terms of this offer of continued employment with the Company as set forth in the foregoing letter. I have not relied on any agreements or representations, express or implied that are not set forth expressly
in the foregoing letter, and this letter supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the subject matter of this letter.
