	3.	WORK 

 This Agreement shall control and govern any and all goods, facilities,
and/or services performed by Contractor to Company under oral or written job orders at any time during the term of this Agreement. Unless the Parties specifically agree otherwise, in a written document which specifically refers to this Agreement,
any goods, facilities, and/or services requested by Company and agreed to be performed and/or provided by Contractor shall be performed and/or provided pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. In the event that any conflict exists between the
provisions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions set forth in any job order, statement, purchase order, published rate schedule, delivery ticket or any other type of memoranda, whether written or oral, between Company and Contractor
pertaining to the subject matter hereof, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. 
  

	4.	INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR RELATIONSHIP 

  

	 	a)	Contractor shall be an independent contractor with respect to performance of all Work hereunder. Except as specifically provided in sub-paragraph (c) hereto, neither Contractor nor anyone employed by Contractor
shall be deemed for any purpose to be the employee, agent, servant, or representative of Company in the performance of any Work or any part thereof pursuant to this Agreement. Company shall have no direction or control of the details of the Work,
Contractor, or Contractor’s employees, agents, and/or subcontractors - Company being interested only in the results obtained. 

  

	 	b)	Notwithstanding the above, the Work contemplated herein must meet the approval of Company and shall be subject to Company’s general right of inspection, including unlimited access to the Work premises, to the
extent necessary to determine that the Work is being performed and/or completed in accordance with the job order. Any portion of the Work found defective or unsuitable shall be removed, replaced, or corrected without additional costs or risks to
Company. 









	 	c)	Despite the provisions of this Section 4, in all cases where employees of Contractor Group (which includes the direct, borrowed, special or statutory employees of Contractor Group as defined in Section 10) are
covered by the Louisiana Worker’s Compensation Act, La. R.S. 23:1021 et seq., Company and Contractor agree that all Work and operations performed by Contractor Group and its employees pursuant to this Agreement are an integral part of and are
essential to the ability of Company to generate Company’s goods, products and/or services for purposes of La. R.S. 23:1061 (A)(1). Furthermore, Company and Contractor agree that Company is the principal or statutory employer of Contractor
Group’s employees for the purposes of La. R.S. 23:1061(A)(3). Irrespective of Company’s status as the principal or statutory employer (as defined in La. R.S. 23:1031(c)) of Contractor Group’s employees, Contractor shall remain
primarily responsible for the payment of Louisiana Worker’s Compensation benefits to Contractor’s and Contractor Group’s employees, and shall not be entitled to seek contribution for any such payments from Company. 


 

	5.	CONTRACTOR’S WORKERS AND EQUIPMENT 

  

	 	a)	All workers furnished by Contractor or Contractor’s subcontractor(s) shall be experienced and qualified for their respective task(s). Contractor, at its own cost and expense, shall provide: 1) the labor and/or
services necessary and appropriate to the performance of the Work in good, safe, and workmanlike manner in accordance with good oilfield servicing practices; and/or 2) the equipment, consumable materials, supplies, tools, and appliances necessary
and appropriate to the performance of the Work free from defect. Contractor shall be solely responsible for any loss and/or damage to such equipment, materials, supplies or tools. 


 

	 	b)	In the event that Contractor employs subcontractor(s) in either the performance of the Work or provision of equipment, Contractor is obligated to inform Company of such use. Company further reserves the right to approve
all such subcontractor(s). If Company consents to such subcontracting, Contractor agrees to require all such subcontractor(s) to comply with all provisions of this Agreement. Contractor further agrees to not charge Company for any materials and/or
equipment not owned by Contractor, such as that rented from third parties, used in the Work without Company’s prior written consent. 

  

	6.	PERFORMANCE OF WORK 

  

	 	a)	Nothing contained herein shall obligate Company to call upon Contractor for the performance of any Work whatsoever. Similarly, Contractor shall not be obligated to accept any Company Work request(s). Further, the
designation of any Work to be performed, and the cessation of such Work, shall be at the sole discretion of Company. 

  

	 	b)	Contractor shall provide continuous adequate protection of the Work and Company property as well as take all necessary precautions to insure the safety of all persons and/or employees on the Work site, including Company
Group, as defined in Section 10. 

  

	 	c)	Contractor is responsible for initiating, maintaining and supervising all necessary Safety and Drug Testing Policies and Procedures (copies of which are to be provided to Company upon request) in connection with the
performance of the Work and comply and cause Contractor’s employees, agents, subcontractors, and others entering on Company’s premises in the performance of the Work, or in connection therewith, to comply with all applicable laws, rules,
ordinances, and/or regulations, whether federal, state, municipal or foreign, which are now or may, in the future, become applicable to the Work. 

  

	 	d)	Contractor shall examine all items furnished by Company which are to be employed in connection with the Work and immediately notify Company of any and all defects sufficient to make the use of any such items unsuitable
or unsafe. If Contractor fails to make such examination or fails to report such defect, Contractor shall be deemed to have assumed all risk and liability for any mishap which may occur by failure of, or defects in, such items. 


 

	7.	PRICES 

  

	 	a)	 The price(s) charged by Contractor for goods, facilities, and/or services provided to Company shall be the lowest of (i) the prices stated on
Contractor’s published schedule of rates and prices, 



  
 2 









	 	
as such rates and prices are in effect on the date on which the services are rendered or the goods or equipment are ordered, (ii) any prices negotiated between Company and Contractor at the
time the Work is provided, or (iii) any prices submitted by Contractor in a bid. Prior to the Parties agreeing on a particular price, Company shall have the right at any time to request and negotiate for prices lower than Contractor’s
published prices and/or to request bids from Contractor and others. 

  

	 	b)	When Contractor’s rate is calculated on a daily basis, twelve (12) hours shall constitute one (1) “day” unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing. When less than a full twelve (12) hour
“day” is worked, Contractor shall be paid only that proportionate part of the rate per “day” which the number of hours worked, computed to the nearest one-half hour, bears to the full twelve (12) hour “day.”


  

	 	c)	Charges for transportation of goods and/or services to and from the Work location shall be calculated from the nearest competitive point to the Work location unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. 


 

	8.	TERMS OF PAYMENT AND BILLING INSTRUCTIONS 

  

	 	a)	All Contractor invoices shall identify (i) the items related to the charges and provide appropriate documentation supporting such charges (including, but not limited to, receipts, time sheets, dates, hours, rate,
labor classifications, and material charges, all with appropriate approvals of Company personnel), (ii) whether prices are the published, negotiated, or bid prices, (iii) charges by, as applicable, block name and number, lease number and
name, or platform name and number, and well number. If Company separately agrees to pay for travel time, Contractor shall identify such time on its invoices separately from other time billed. 


 

	 	b)	All invoices shall be directed to the following address unless otherwise specified by Company: 


Gulfport Energy Corporation 

14313 N. May Ave., Suite 100 

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73134 

Attention: Hien Nguyen 
  

	 	c)	Contractor shall submit invoices only after the invoiced Work is completed unless Company approves other invoicing arrangements at the time it requests the Work. Separate invoices should be submitted for each project
whether drilling, production, or otherwise. Single invoices for multi-wells or multi-projects are not acceptable. Company normally will not make partial payments on invoices. Therefore, if part of an invoice is in error, including any omission of,
or error in information required to be in the invoice (as described above), or is disputed by Company, said invoice will be returned for correction. 

  

	 	d)	Unless Company disputes an item in an invoice or requires any information provided for herein, or the invoice is submitted in improper form, Company shall pay Contractor the full amount of an invoice within sixty
(60) days after its receipt, less any cash discount. Any payment shall be made by Company’s check or draft payable to the order of Contractor, and shall be delivered or mailed to Contractor at Contractor’s address for the delivery of
notices as provided herein. Payment by Company of Contractor’s invoices shall be without prejudice to Company’s rights to subsequently challenge the correctness thereof. 


 

	 	e)	Notwithstanding the approval for payment of any invoices submitted, Company shall have the right to withhold any payments thereon until Contractor shall have furnished (i) verification satisfactory to Company of
Work performed, (ii) verification of satisfactory performance of all goods, equipment, and facilities to which such payment relates, (iii) proof that all claims against Contractor by its suppliers and subcontractors for labor, goods,
equipment, and facilities of any kind furnished in connection with Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement have been fully paid and satisfied, and (iv) proof that all liens, claims and privileges of Contractor’s suppliers and
subcontractors, and claims for injuries to persons or property not covered by insurance, arising out of Work performed or goods, equipment, or facilities furnished in connection with Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement have been fully
released or satisfied.

	9.	INSURANCE 

  

	 	a)	Company and Contractor agree that the indemnity and insurance obligations contained in this Agreement are separate and apart from each other, such that failure to fulfill the indemnity obligations does not alter or
eliminate the insurance obligations or vice versa. Company and Contractor further agree that the insurance obligations shall support but shall not in any way limit the defense and indemnity obligations or liabilities set forth herein. At all times
during the term of this Agreement and at its own cost and expense (including all premiums and deductibles), Contractor shall carry with an insurance company or companies, satisfactory to Company and authorized to do business in all areas of
transportation and operation of this Agreement, insurance coverage of the types and in the minimum amounts provided in Exhibit “A”, attached hereto. 

  

	 	b)	All of Contractor’s insurance policies (whether above specified or not) shall be endorsed to provide that the underwriters waive subrogation (whether by loan receipt, equitable assignment, or otherwise) against
members of Company Group, as defined in Section 10, who shall also be named as additional insured(s) under such policies [except those described as Worker’s Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance in Exhibit
“A” attached hereto] to the full extent of the release, defense and indemnity obligations assumed by Contractor in this Agreement. 

  

	 	c)	Prior to performing Work or services and prior to providing goods, equipment, and/or facilities hereunder, Contractor shall furnish Company with Certificates of Insurance satisfactory to Company, which shall evidence
that the coverages specified in Exhibit “A” attached hereto are in full force and effect and provide that such insurance policies shall not be cancelled, reduced, or materially changed without thirty (30) days prior written notice to
Company. Current Certificates of Insurance shall be provided by Contractor to Company on an ongoing basis without the necessity of Company requesting same. Failure of Company to object to Contractor’s delay or failure to furnish such
Certificates of Insurance or to object to any defect therein shall not be deemed a waiver of Contractor’s obligation to furnish the Certificates of Insurance or the insurance coverage described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto. However,
such failure by Contractor shall allow Company to cancel any Work order or to terminate this Agreement per Section 20 of this Agreement. 

  

	 	d)	Contractor shall require all of its subcontractors to provide such of the coverage provided for in Exhibit “A”, as well as any other coverage, that Contractor considers necessary. However, the fact that any
subcontractor provides any of the coverage provided for in Exhibit “A” or any other coverage that Contract considers necessary shall not itself relieve Contractor of its obligations to provide such coverage. 


 

	10.	INDEMNITY 

  

	 	a)	Company and Contractor recognize that in connection with the operations contemplated by this Agreement, accidents and events may occur in which property is lost, damaged or destroyed and/or in which persons may be
killed or injured or become ill. Company and Contractor further recognize that certain of such risks may be covered by insurance as provided in this Agreement. However, Company and Contractor agree that the indemnity and insurance obligations
contained in this Agreement are separate and apart from each other, such that failure to fulfill the indemnity obligations does not alter or eliminate the insurance obligations or vice versa. The insurance obligations under Section 9 hereof
shall not in any way limit the defense and indemnity obligations of Company and Contractor, as allocated in this Agreement. 

  

	 	b)	For purposes of this Agreement, the “Company Group” shall mean any and all of Company, its owners, affiliates, partners, joint venturers, and contractors and subcontractors of any tier (except Contractor
Group) and each of their officers, directors, employees, representatives, and invitees. 

 CONTRACTOR
AGREES TO RELEASE, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS COMPANY GROUP FROM
AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION, SUITS,
LOSSES, DAMAGES, AND LIABILITIES OF EVERY KIND AND CHARACTER ARISING DIRECTLY
OR INDIRECTLY IN CONNECTION HEREWITH FOR INJURY TO, OR ILLNESS OF,
DEATH OF CONTRACTOR’S EMPLOYEES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, EMPLOYEES
OF CONTRACTOR WHO ARE DEEMED TO BE COMPANY’S STATUTORY EMPLOYEES
OR BORROWED EMPLOYEES UNDER ANY LAW OR JURISPRUDENCE OR UNDER THE
WORKER’S COMPENSATION STATUTES OF ANY JURISDICTION) OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
OF CONTRACTOR.

AND INDEMNIFY COMPANY GROUP FROM AND AGAINST ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, EXPENSE,
CLAIM, FINE OR PENALTY, DEMAND, OR LIABILITY, FOR POLLUTION OR CONTAMINATION,
INCLUDING CONTROL AND REMOVAL THEREOF (COLLECTIVELY, “POLLUTION CLAIMS”), ORIGINATING
FROM SPILLS, LEAKS, OR DISCHARGES OF FUELS, LUBRICANTS, MOTOR OILS, PIPE
DOPE, PAINTS, SOLVENTS, BALLAST, BILGE, SLUDGE, GARBAGE, OR ANY OTHER LIQUID
OR SOLID WHATSOEVER IN POSSESSION OR CONTROL OF CONTRACTOR GROUP WITHOUT

POLLUTION FROM ANY OTHER SOURCES, CONTRACTOR SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE “AT LAW”
TO THE EXTENT OF CONTRACTOR’S NEGLIGENCE UP TO $1,000,000 PER OCCURRENCE,
AND COMPANY SHALL PROTECT, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, SAVE, AND HOLD HARMLESS CONTRACTOR
FROM AND AGAINST ANY POLLUTION CLAIMS OVER $1,000,000 PER OCCURRENCE. INITIATION OF
CLEANUP OPERATIONS BY EITHER PARTY SHALL NOT BE AN ADMISSION OR
ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITY BY SUCH PARTY. 

  

	 	e)	If it is judicially determined that the monetary limits of insurance required hereunder or of the indemnities voluntarily and mutually assumed under this Section 10 (which shall be supported either by equal amounts
of available liability insurance, under which the insurer has no right of subrogation against the indemnities, or voluntarily self-insured in part or whole) exceed the maximum limits permitted under applicable law, the insurance requirements and
indemnities shall automatically be amended to conform to the maximum monetary limits permitted under the law. 

  

	 	f)	NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THIS CONTRACT, (I) ANY
PUNITIVE DAMAGE AWARD SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE OBLIGATION OF
THE PARTY AGAINST WHOM THE AWARD IS ISSUED AND, (II) GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RESPONSIBILITY
OF THE ACTOR. NOTWITHSTANDING SUCH FACT, AN ALLEGATION OF PUNITIVE DAMAGES
OWING BY, OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT ON THE PART OF
AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY, SHALL NOT DIMINISH THE INDEMNITY OR DEFENSE OBLIGATIONS
OF THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY; PROVIDED HOWEVER, THAT ANY DAMAGE AWARDS, TO
THE EXTENT CONSISTING OF PUNITIVE DAMAGES AGAINST, OR ARISING FROM THE
GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY, SHALL BE
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY AND EXCLUDED FROM THE
INDEMNITOR’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER. 

  

	 	g)	IN THE EVENT THAT AN OTHERWISE INDEMNIFIABLE CLAIM UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT IS FOUND BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO BE SUBJECT
TO THE INDEMNITY LIMITATIONS IN THE LOUISIANA OILFIELD ANTI-INDEMNITY ACT, LA. REV.
STAT. ANN. SECTION 9:2780, AS AMENDED, AND FOR SO LONG AS THAT ACT IS
IN FORCE, THEN IT IS AGREED THAT THE ABOVE OBLIGATIONS TO INDEMNIFY
APPLICABLE TO SUCH INDEMNIFIABLE CLAIM ARE LIMITED TO THE EXTENT OF
INDEMNITOR’S COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY.

THAT ALL RELEASE, DEFENSE AND INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS ASSUMED BY THE PARTIES
UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTIONS 10 AND 11
HEREOF, IN THEIR ENTIRETY, BE WITHOUT MONETARY LIMIT AND WITHOUT REGARD
TO THE CAUSE OR CAUSES THEREOF (INCLUDING PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS OR

 5 








 
CONCURRENT, ACTIVE, OR PASSIVE), THE BREACH BY ANY PARTY
OR PARTIES OF ANY CONTRACT, OR ANY STATUTE, RULE, OR THEORY OF
LAW (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, STRICT LIABILITY). THIS AGREEMENT SHALL

DEFENSE AND INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS TO OTHERS. COMPANY’S DEFENSE AND INDEMNITY
OBLIGATIONS TO CONTRACTOR GROUP SHALL NOT INCLUDE CONTRACTOR GROUP’S
