with certain standstill rights, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements set forth herein and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by each of the Parties hereto, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 

 Agreement 

Section 1. Board Observation Rights. 

(a) During the period commencing upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement and ending on the Board Rights Termination Date (defined
below), the Crestwood Entities shall grant the Purchasers, collectively, the option and right, exercisable, upon written approval of a majority of the then outstanding Preferred Units held, directly or indirectly, by the Purchasers (in the
aggregate), by delivering a written notice signed by such Purchasers of such appointment to the Crestwood Entities (the “Observer Notice”), to appoint a single representative, who shall be employed by one of the Purchasers (or their
Affiliates) at the time of such appointment (the “Board Observer”), to attend all meetings (including telephonic) of the full Board in an observer capacity. The Observer Notice shall be delivered to the Crestwood Entities prior to
the Board Observer’s attendance of any meeting of the full Board. The Board Observer shall not constitute a member of the Board and shall not be entitled to vote on, or consent to, any matters presented to the Board. For the avoidance of doubt,
the Board Observer shall have no right to attend any meeting of any committee of the full Board (each, a “Committee”); provided, however, the Crestwood Entities shall (i) give the Board Observer written notice of
the applicable meeting or action taken by written consent of such Committee at the same time and in the same manner as notice is given to the members of such Committee and (ii) with respect to the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee
of the Board, provide the Board Observer with copies of all written materials and other information (including, without limitation, copies of minutes of meetings or written consents of such Committee) given to the members of the Audit Committee and
the Compensation Committee in connection with such meetings or actions taken by written consent at the same time such materials and information are furnished to such members of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. 

(b) The Crestwood Entities shall (i) give the Board Observer written notice of the applicable meeting or action taken by written consent
at the same time and in the same manner as notice is given to the members of the Board, (ii) provide the Board Observer with copies of all written materials and other information (including, without limitation, copies of minutes of meetings or
written consents of the full Board) given to the members of the Board in connection with such meetings or actions taken by written consent at the same time such materials and information are furnished to such members of the Board, and
(iii) provide the Board Observer with all rights to attend (whether in person or by telephone or other means of electronic communication as solely determined by the Board Observer) such meetings as a member of the Board. The Board Observer
shall agree to maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information and proceedings of the Board and to enter into, comply with, and be bound by, in all respects, the terms and conditions of a confidentiality agreement, substantially in the
form attached hereto as Annex A (the “Confidentiality Agreement”); provided, however, upon request from a Purchaser or such Purchaser’s Affiliates, the Board Observer shall provide, on a confidential basis, such
non-public material and information to such Purchaser and their Affiliates; provided that such Purchaser and their Affiliates have agreed to comply with and be bound by, in all respects, the Confidentiality Agreement. For the avoidance of
doubt, the recipient of such confidential information from the Board Observer (whether a Purchaser or a Purchaser Affiliate) may further provide such information to (i) any other Purchaser or Purchaser Affiliate and (ii) any legal counsel
that has been engaged by such recipient to discuss such matters or information; provided, that any such 

 
recipient in clause (i) or (ii) agrees and acknowledges in writing that they are bound by the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Affiliates” shall have the same meaning ascribed therefor in the Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding any rights to be granted or provided to the Board Observer hereunder, the Crestwood Entities reserve the right to exclude the
Board Observer from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if the Board reasonably determines, in good faith, that such access would (A) prevent the members of the Board from engaging in attorney-client privileged communication or
(B) result in a conflict of interest with any Purchaser; provided, however, that such exclusion shall be limited to the portion of the material and/or meeting that is the basis for such exclusion and shall not extend to any
portion of the material and/or meeting that does not involve or pertain to such exclusion. The Purchaser then employing the Board Observer agrees to indemnify the Crestwood Entities from any and all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses
of any kind or nature whatsoever arising from the breach by the Board Observer of the confidentiality obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement or this Section 1. 

(c) The rights contained in this Section 1 shall immediately cease and terminate on the earlier of such date (such earlier date,
the “Board Rights Termination Date”) as the Purchasers and their respective Affiliates no longer own (i) at least 75% of the Purchased Units (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or (ii) a number of Preferred Units,
which, if they were converted into Common Units at the then applicable Conversion Ratio (as defined in Amendment No. 3), subject to appropriate adjustments for splits, combinations and other similar transactions, would be equal to 5% or more of
the total number of Common Units then outstanding. From and after the Board Rights Termination Date, the rights of the Purchasers in Sections 1(a) and 1(b) shall cease. 

Section 2. Board Designation Rights. 

(a) If the Class A Preferred Distribution Amount (as such term is defined in Amendment No. 3) is not paid in full in cash to the
holders of outstanding Preferred Units (as such term is defined in Amendment No. 3) for two consecutive calendar quarters that commence after the Initial Distribution Period (as defined in Amendment No. 3) (such failure, the
“Designation Right Triggering Event”), then, until the Designation Right Termination Event (defined below), the Purchasers shall have the option and right, exercisable, upon written approval of a majority of the then outstanding
Preferred Units held, directly or indirectly, by the Purchasers (in the aggregate), by delivering a written notice of such designation to the Crestwood Entities, to designate one person to serve on the Board (the “Purchaser Designated
Director”) and the Crestwood Entities shall take all actions necessary or advisable to effect the foregoing; provided, however, that such Purchaser Designated Director shall, in the reasonable judgment of the General Partner,
(i) have the requisite skill and experience to serve as a director of a public company, (ii) not be prohibited from serving as a director pursuant to any rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) or any national securities exchange on which the Partnership’s Common Units are listed or admitted to trading, and (iii) not be an employee or director of any Competitor (as defined below). For purposes of
the immediately preceding sentence the term “Competitor” shall mean any person or entity that (a) is an operating company (and not a financial institution) and (b) engages in the midstream energy business or otherwise
provides similar services or engages in similar business as the Partnership. The Purchasers agree upon the Partnership’s request to timely provide the Partnership with accurate and complete 

 
information relating to the Purchaser Designated Director as may be required to be disclosed by the Partnership under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Prior to a Designation Right Termination Event (as defined below), the Purchaser Designated Director may be removed or replaced by the Purchasers at any time and by Crestwood
Midstream Holdings LP, the sole member of the General Partner, for “cause” (as defined below), but not by any other Party; and any vacancy occurring by reason of the death, disability, resignation, removal or other cessation of a
person serving as Purchaser Designated Director, shall be filled solely by the Purchasers. As used herein, “cause” means that the Purchaser Designated Director (i) is prohibited from serving as a director under any rule or regulation
of the Commission or any national securities exchange on which the Partnership’s Common Units are listed; (ii) while serving as the Purchaser Designated Director is convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction of a felony; (iii) a
court of competent jurisdiction has entered, a final, non-appealable judgment finding the Purchaser Designated Director liable for actual fraud or willful misconduct against the Partnership (including, but not limited to, intentionally or wilfully
failing to observe the obligation of confidentiality contained in Section 1(b) of this Agreement); (iv) is determined to have acted intentionally or in bad faith in a manner that results in a material detriment to the assets,
business or prospects of the Partnership or (v) is terminated, removed or resigns for any reason from his or her position, if any, with any such Purchaser at which the Purchaser Designated Director is then employed. Any action by the Purchasers
to designate, remove or replace a Purchaser Designated Director shall be evidenced in writing furnished to the Crestwood Entities, shall include a statement that the action has been approved by the Purchasers and shall be executed by or on behalf of
the Purchasers. While serving as a Purchaser Designated Director, a Purchaser Designated Director (i) shall be entitled to vote on any matter on which independent members of the Board are entitled to vote on (unless prohibited by the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the New York Stock Exchange), provided, however, in connection with any matter that could adversely affect the rights, powers, privileges, preferences, duties or obligations of the
Preferred Units, the Purchaser Designated Director shall consult with all Purchasers that hold, directly or indirectly, then outstanding Preferred Units, prior to such Purchaser Designated Director approving such matter in his or her capacity as a
Board member; and (ii) shall be entitled to compensation commensurate with that of an independent member of the Board and reimbursed for reasonable expenses. 

(b) Upon payment by the Partnership to the Purchasers of all accrued but unpaid distributions on the Preferred Units then outstanding (a
“Designation Right Termination Event”), the right of the Purchasers to designate a Purchaser Designated Director shall automatically terminate and the Purchasers shall cause the Purchaser Designated Director then serving as a member
of the Board, promptly upon (and in any event within two (2) Business Days following) receipt of a written request from the Partnership, to resign as a member of the Board. If the Purchaser Designated Director does not resign upon such request,
then a majority of the other director(s) then serving on the Board may remove the Purchaser Designated Director as a member of the Board. 

Section 3. Limitation of Liability; Indemnification; Business Opportunities. 

(a) At all times while the Purchaser Designated Director is serving as a member of the Board, and following any such Purchaser Designated
Director’s death, resignation, removal or other cessation as a director in such former Purchaser Designated Director’s capacity as a former 

 
director, the Purchaser Designated Director shall be entitled to (i) the same modification and restriction of traditional fiduciary duties, (ii) the same safe harbors for resolving
conflicts of interest transactions and (iii) all rights to indemnification and exculpation, in each case, as are then made available to any other member of the Board. 

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the Board Observer shall have (i) no fiduciary duty to the Crestwood Entities or to any Limited Partner
(as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and (ii) no obligations to the Crestwood Entities under this Agreement, except as described in Section 1 of this Agreement, or to any Limited Partner. 

(c) At all times while the Purchaser Designated Director is serving as a member of the Board or the Board Observer is serving in such capacity
in accordance with Section 1 of this Agreement, such Purchaser Designated Director or Board Observer, the Purchasers and their respective Affiliates may engage in, possess an interest in, or trade in the securities of, other business
ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business of the Crestwood Entities, and the Crestwood Entities, the Board and their Affiliates shall have no rights by virtue of this Agreement in and
to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture, even if competitive with the business of the Crestwood Entities, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. None of the Purchaser Designated
Director, the Board Observer, the Purchasers or their respective Affiliates shall be obligated to present any investment opportunity to the Crestwood Entities even if such opportunity is of a character that the Crestwood Entities or any of their
respective subsidiaries might reasonably be deemed to have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so, and each of the Purchaser Designated Director, the Board Observer, the Purchasers or their respective
Affiliates shall have the right to take for such person’s own account (individually or as a partner or fiduciary) or to recommend to others any such investment opportunity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser Designated Director and
the Board Observer shall be subject to, and comply with, the requirement to maintain confidential information pursuant to this Agreement. 

(d) The Crestwood Entities shall purchase and maintain (or reimburse the Purchaser Designated Director for the cost of) insurance
(“D&O Insurance”), on behalf of the Purchaser Designated Director, against any liability that may be asserted against, or expense that may be incurred by, such Purchaser Designated Director in connection with Crestwood
Entities’ activities or such Purchaser Designated Director’s activities on behalf of the Crestwood Entities, regardless of whether the Crestwood Entities would have the power to indemnify such Purchaser Designated Director against such
liability under the provisions of the Partnership Agreement or the First Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the General Partner (the “GP LLC Agreement. Such D&O Insurance shall provide coverage commensurate
with that of an independent member of the Board. 
 (e) For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser Designated Director shall constitute an
“Indemnitee,” as such term is defined under the Partnership Agreement and the GP LLC Agreement. 

 Section 4. Standstill. 

(a) During the period commencing on the Initial Closing Date and ending on the third anniversary thereof, without the prior written consent of
the Partnership (provided that such consent shall not be required in the event of fraud or gross negligence on the part of the Partnership or the General Partner), the holders of Preferred Units and their Affiliates will not, directly or indirectly:

 (i) Enter into any transaction the effect of which would be to “short” any securities of the Partnership; 

(ii) Call (or participate in a group calling) a meeting of the limited partners of the Partnership for the purpose of removing
(or approving the removal of) the General Partner as the general partner of the Partnership and/or electing a successor general partner of the Partnership; 

(iii) “Solicit” any “proxies” (as such terms are used in the rules and regulations of the Commission) or
votes for or in support of (A) the removal of the General Partner as the general partner of the Partnership or (B) the election of any successor general partner of the Partnership, or take any action the direct effect or purpose of which
would be to induce limited partners of the Partnership to vote or provide proxies that may be voted in favor of any action contemplated by either of sub-clauses (A) or (B) of this Section 4(a)(iii); 

(iv) Seek to advise or influence any person (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with respect to
the voting of any limited partner interests of the Partnership in connection with the removal (or approving the removal) of the General Partner as the general partner of the Partnership and/or the election of a successor general partner of the
Partnership; 
 (v) Issue, induce or assist in the publication of any press release, media report or other publication in
connection with the potential or proposed removal of the General Partner as the general partner of the Partnership and/or the election of a successor general partner of the Partnership; 

(vi) Instigate or encourage any third party to do any of the foregoing; or 

(vii) If the General Partner is removed as the general partner of the Partnership, participate in any way in the management,
ownership and/or control of the managing general partner or the successor general partner’s operation of the Partnership, other than participation by a Purchaser Designated Director or Board Observer, as described in Sections 1 and
2 of this Agreement. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the foregoing shall not in any way
limit the right of the Purchasers or their Affiliates to vote their limited partner interests in the Partnership at any meeting of limited partners of the Partnership so long as there has been no breach of Section 4(a) of this Agreement;
and (ii) for purposes of Section 4(a) of this Agreement, “Affiliates” of GSO COF II Holdings Partners LP shall include any fund managed or advised by GSO Capital Partners LP or its Affiliates; provided,
however, that, in each such case, such fund falls within the credit business of The Blackstone Group LP. 

 Section 5. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the Parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete
and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the Parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings other than those set forth or referred to herein with
respect to the rights granted by Crestwood Entities or any of their Affiliates or the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates set forth herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof.

supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time, unless otherwise specified. The word “including” shall mean “including but not limited to” and shall not be construed to limit any general statement that it follows to the
specific or similar items or matters immediately following it. Whenever any determination, consent or approval is to be made or given by a Party, such action shall be in such Party’s sole discretion, unless otherwise specified in this
Agreement. If any provision in this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, not binding or unenforceable, (i) such provision shall be fully severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, not binding
or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and (ii) the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the
original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. When calculating the period of time before

period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day. Any words imparting the singular number only shall include the plural and vice versa. The words such as “herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereof” and
“hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear unless the context otherwise requires. The division of this Agreement into Sections and other subdivisions and the insertion of
headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect or be utilized in construing or interpreting this Agreement. 
 (d)
Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this
Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty 

 
made in or in connection with this Agreement), will be construed in accordance with and governed by the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles of conflicts of Laws. Any action
against any Party relating to the foregoing shall be brought in any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located within the State of Delaware, and the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any
federal or state court located within the State of Delaware over any such action. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the Parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. 
 (e) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES, AND
AGREES TO CAUSE ITS AFFILIATES TO WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (i) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (ii) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR
INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. EACH OF THE PARTIES
TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT
WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. 
 (f) No Waiver;
Modifications in Writing. 
 (i) Delay. No failure or delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right,
power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies
provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to a Party at law or in equity or otherwise. 

(ii) Specific Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, waiver, consent, modification or termination of
any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed by each of the Parties hereto affected by such amendment, waiver, consent, modification or termination. Any amendment, supplement or modification of or to any provision of this
Agreement, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement and any consent to any departure by a Party from the terms of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or
given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement, no notice to or demand on a Party in any case shall entitle such Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any investigation by or on
behalf of any Party shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. 

 (g) Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different Parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute one and the same
agreement. 
 (h) Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and
their respective successors and permitted assigns, but will not be assignable or delegable by any Party hereto without the prior written consent of each of the other Parties; provided, that the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not
be effective or binding upon a Purchaser that has transferred all of its Preferred Units to a third-party and, upon such transfer, the rights of such Purchaser under this Agreement shall terminate and cease. 

(i) Independent Counsel. Each of the Parties acknowledges that it has been represented by independent counsel of its choice throughout
all negotiations that have preceded the execution of this Agreement and that it has executed the same with consent and upon the advice of said independent counsel. Each Party and its counsel cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this
Agreement and the documents referred to herein, and any and all drafts relating thereto will be deemed the work product of the Parties and may not be construed against any Party by reason of its preparation. Accordingly, any rule of Law or any legal
decision that would require interpretation of any ambiguities in this Agreement against the Party that drafted it is of no application and is hereby expressly waived. 

(j) Specific Enforcement. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that monetary damages would not adequately compensate an injured
Party for the breach of this Agreement by any Party, that this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable and that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement shall be the proper subject of a temporary or permanent injunction or restraining
order without a requirement of posting bond. Further, each Party hereto waives any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for such breach or threatened breach. 

(k) Transfer of Board Rights; Aggregation. The option and right to appoint a Board Observer or Purchaser Designated Director granted to
the Purchasers by the Partnership under Sections 1 and 2, respectively, of this Agreement, may be transferred or assigned by any Purchaser to one or more of its Affiliates, subject to the transfer restrictions provided in
Section 4.7(d) of the Partnership Agreement, provided, however, that (a) the Partnership is given written notice prior to any said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of each of the transferee or assignee and
identifying the securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred or assigned and (b) each such transferee or assignee assumes in writing responsibility for its portion of the obligations of such Purchaser under this
Agreement. All Preferred Units held or acquired by Persons (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) who are Affiliates of one another shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights and applicability
of any obligations under this Agreement. 

 (l) Further Assurances. Each of the Parties hereto shall, from time to time and without
further consideration, execute such further instruments and take such other actions as any other Party hereto shall reasonably request in order to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

that certain Board Representation and Standstill Agreement (the “Board Representation and Standstill Agreement”), dated as of June [•], 2014, by and among Crestwood Midstream GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
“General Partner”),Crestwood Midstream Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership” and, together with the General Partner, the “Crestwood Entities”), Magnetar Financial LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (“Magnetar”), GSO COF II Holdings Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“GSO”) and GE Structured Finance, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GE” and, together
with Magnetar and GSO, the “Purchasers”), the Purchasers have exercised their right to appoint the undersigned as an observer (the “Board Observer”) to the board of directors of the General Partner (the
“Board”), although the individual serving as the Board Observer may be changed from time to pursuant to the terms of the Board Representation and Standstill Agreement and upon such other individual signing a confidentiality
agreement in substantially the form hereof. The Board Observer acknowledges that at the meetings of the Board and at other times the Board Observer may be provided with and otherwise have access to non-public information concerning the Crestwood
Entities and their Affiliates. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the respective meanings ascribed therefor in the Board Representation and Standstill Agreement. In consideration for and as a condition to the
Crestwood Entities furnishing access to such information, the Board Observer hereby agrees to the terms and conditions set forth in this letter agreement (the “Agreement”): 

1. As used in this Agreement, subject to Paragraph 3 below, “Confidential Information” means any and all non-public financial
or other non-public information concerning the Crestwood Entities and their Affiliates that may hereafter be disclosed to the Board Observer by the Crestwood Entities, their Affiliates or by any of their directors, officers, employees, agents,
consultants, advisors or other representatives (including financial advisors, accountants or legal counsel) (the “Representatives”) of the Crestwood Entities, including, without limitation, all notices, minutes, consents, materials,
ideas or other information (to the extent constituting information concerning the Crestwood Entities and their Affiliates that is non-public financial or other non-public information) provided to the Board Observer. 

 2. Except to the extent permitted by this Paragraph 2 or by Paragraph 3 or 4, the Board Observer
shall keep such Confidential Information strictly confidential; provided, that the Board Observer may, upon request from a Purchaser or such Purchaser’s Affiliates, share Confidential Information with such Purchaser or such
Purchaser’s Affiliates so long as such individuals or entities agree to comply with, and be bound by, in all respects, the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the recipient of such Confidential Information from the Board
Observer may further provide such Confidential Information to (i) any other Purchaser or Purchaser Affiliate and (ii) any legal counsel that has been engaged by such recipient to discuss such matters or Confidential Information; provided,
that any such recipient in clause (i) or (ii) above agrees and acknowledges in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. The Board Observer may not record the proceedings of any meeting of the Board by means of an electronic
recording device. 
 3. The term “Confidential Information” does not include information that (i) is or becomes generally
available to the public other than (a) as a result of a disclosure by the Board Observer in violation of this Agreement or (b) in violation of a confidentiality obligation to the Crestwood Entities known to the Board Observer, (ii) is
or becomes available to the Board Observer on a non-confidential basis from a source not known to have an obligation of confidentiality to the Crestwood Entities, (iii) was already known to the Board Observer at the time of disclosure, or
(iv) is independently developed by the Board Observer without reference to any Confidential Information disclosed to the Board Observer. 

4. In the event that the Board Observer is legally required or compelled to disclose the Confidential Information, the Board Observer shall use
reasonable best efforts, to the extent permitted and practicable, to provide the Crestwood Entities with prompt prior written notice of such requirement so that the Crestwood Entities may seek, at such entities sole expense and cost, an appropriate
protective order. If in the absence of a protective order, the Board Observer is nonetheless legally required or compelled to disclose Confidential Information, the Board Observer may disclose only the portion of the Confidential Information or
other information that it is so legally required or compelled to disclose. 
 5. All Confidential Information disclosed by the Crestwood
Entities or their Representatives to the Board Observer is and will remain the property of the Crestwood Entities, so long as such information remains Confidential Information. 

6. It is understood and acknowledged that neither the Crestwood Entities nor any Representative makes any representation or warranty as to the
accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or any component thereof. 
 7. It is further understood and agreed that money
damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by the Board Observer and that the Crestwood Entities shall be entitled to seek specific performance or any other appropriate form of equitable relief as a remedy for any such
breach in addition to the remedies available to the Crestwood Entities at law. 
 8. This Agreement is personal to the Board Observer, is not
assignable by the Board Observer and may be modified or waived only in writing. This Agreement is binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. 

 9. If any provision of this Agreement is not enforceable in whole or in part, the remaining
provisions of this Agreement will not be affected thereby. No failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder operates as a waiver thereof, nor does any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder. 
 10. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OR CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISION (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER
THAN THE STATE OF DELAWARE. 
 11. This Agreement and all obligations herein will automatically expire three (3) years from the date
the Board Observer ceases to act as Board Observer. 
 12. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be
deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement, and all of which, when taken together, will constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile or electronic transmission constitutes
effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement. Signatures of the parties transmitted by facsimile or electronic transmission will be deemed to be their original signatures for
any purpose whatsoever.

(ii) resulting from, relating to, or arising in connection with the use, ownership or operation of the RAC Contributed Assets on or prior to the Closing Date or transfer of the RAC Contributed Assets hereunder). RAC represents and warrants that

the Effective Date.

Schedules (collectively, the “GES Excluded Assets”). For the avoidance of doubt, the GES Excluded 

  
 7 

 
Assets shall remain the property of GES, SWOP and WSS, as applicable, and GES and the Company shall cooperate and use all reasonable efforts to separate the GES Excluded Assets and the GES
Contributed Assets during the period between the Effective Date and the Closing Date. The Company shall not assume any liabilities related to the GES Excluded Assets. 

2.5 Issuance of Shares. In exchange for the contribution of the Contributed Assets, the Company hereby agrees to issue the GES Shares to
GES and the RAC Shares to RAC and assume the GES Assumed Liabilities and the RAC Assumed Liabilities. The Shares shall be the total consideration paid by and required of the Company with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

rights hereby conveyed. Each Contributor covenants and agrees that in the event that title to (a) any property, assets or rights (including Assigned Contracts or Assumed Liabilities) covered in this Agreement cannot be transferred or assigned

the date hereof, and as of the Closing Date, except to the extent that the representation or warranty is limited to a specific period of time, to the Company, subject to such qualifications and exceptions set forth on the GES Disclosure Schedules
attached hereto as Annex A (the “GES Disclosure Schedules”): 
 4.1 Title to and Adequacy of GES
Contributed Assets. GES has good, complete and marketable title to all of the GES Contributed Assets, free and clear of all Liens of any kind or nature whatsoever, other than Permitted Liens. All of the GES Contributed Assets are in the
exclusive possession and control of GES and GES has the unencumbered right to use, and the right to transfer to the Company in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, all of the GES Contributed Assets without interference from
and free of the rights and claims of all others. The GES Contributed Assets are all of the assets other than the Excluded Assets necessary for the conduct of the Business as currently conducted; provided, however, that GES makes no
representations or warranties as to the sufficiency of the GES Contributed Assets to operate the Business to the extent that the Company does not have adequate working capital. 

4.2 No Prior Assignment. Except for the Permitted Liens, GES has not previously assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered
or granted any right, license or interest in, to or under the GES Contributed Assets, or any portion thereof. 
 4.3 Organization; Good
Standing; Qualification and Power. GES is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to
own, lease or otherwise hold its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted. GES is duly licensed or qualified to transact business as a foreign limited liability company and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in
which the nature of the business transacted by it or the character of the properties owned or leased by it requires such licensing or qualification, except for those jurisdictions where the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing
would not have a material adverse effect on the business, condition (financial or otherwise), properties, assets, results of operations or liabilities of GES taken as a whole, or impair the ability of GES to close the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement (a “GES Material Adverse Effect”). 
 4.4 Authorization. GES has full limited liability company power
and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to purchase the GES Shares, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Any and all limited liability company action on the part of GES and its officers, managers and
members necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the performance of all obligations of GES hereunder and thereunder, has been taken. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered and
constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of GES, enforceable against GES in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other Laws of general application
affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) as limited by Laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies. As used in this Agreement, “Law” means
any applicable constitutional provisions, statute, act, code, common law, regulation, rule, ordinance, order, decree, ruling, proclamation, resolution, judgment, decision, declaration, or interpretation or advisory opinion or letter of a domestic,
foreign or international Governmental Authority, in each case which has the force of law. 

  
 12 

 4.5 Consents. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration,
qualification, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or Person is required on the part of GES in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by GES of this Agreement, and the purchase and receipt of the GES Shares by GES. As used in
this Agreement, “Governmental Authority” means any federal, state, local or foreign government or any court, arbitral tribunal, administrative or regulatory agency, or other governmental authority, agency or instrumentality. As used
in this Agreement, “Person” means any natural person, corporation, limited partnership, general partnership, limited liability company, joint stock company, joint venture, association, company, estate, trust, bank trust company,
land trust, business trust, or other organization, whether or not a legal entity, custodian, trustee-executor, administrator, nominee or entity in a representative capacity. 

4.6 Compliance with Other Instruments. GES is not in violation, breach or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) of
(i) any provision of its certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement or similar organizational documents, (ii) any provision of any mortgage, indenture or other evidence of indebtedness to which it is a party or by
which it is bound, or (iii) any judgment, decree, order, writ, federal or state statute, rule or regulation, license or permit of any Governmental Authority applicable to it except, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii), as would not
reasonably be expected to have a GES Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery and performance by GES of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (a) result in, with or without the passage of time or
giving of notice or both, any breach or default under, or acceleration of, or give rise to any right of termination, rescission, or acceleration or modification of, any provision of its certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement
or similar organizational documents, or any material mortgage, contract, lease, agreement, instrument, or indenture to which it is a party, or any judgment, decree, order, writ, statute, rule or regulation, license or Permit by which it is bound or
(b) result in the creation of any mortgages, pledges, security interests, liens, charges, claims, restrictions, easements or other encumbrances of any nature (“Liens”) upon any of the properties or assets of GES, other than
Permitted Liens. For the purpose of this Agreement, “Permitted Liens” means, collectively, (x) Liens that are specifically disclosed on Section 4.6 of the GES Disclosure Schedules, (y) liens for Taxes which are
not yet due, or (z) liens for mechanics, materialmen, laborers, employees, suppliers or similar liens arising by operation of law for amounts which are owed, but not yet due. 

4.7 Compliance with Laws; Permits. The GES Permits set forth on Section 2.1(e) of the GES Disclosure Schedules are all of
the material franchises, permits, licenses, authorizations, approvals and other rights and privileges from Governmental Authorities that GES is required to have in order to own, lease and otherwise hold its properties and assets and to conduct the
Business as presently conducted. All GES Permits are valid and in full force and effect. GES has not received any written communication, nor, to the Knowledge of GES has there been any oral communication or any threat, that any Governmental
Authority intends to cancel or terminate any GES Permit. Neither GES nor, to the Knowledge of GES, any of its managers, members, officers, employees, agents or consultants, is in violation of any law applicable to GES. To the extent that any GES
Permits are not assignable, GES agrees to cooperate with the Company in its efforts to obtain licenses and permits required to operate the Business. 

  
 13 

 4.8 Real Estate. 

(a) GES has provided to the Company copies of all surveys, environmental reports and studies and other documents related to the Real Estate in
the possession of GES. Except for Permitted Liens and the Permitted Exceptions, GES has good and marketable title to the Real Estate free and clear of all options, rights of first offer, rights of first refusal, leases, covenants, conditions,
easements, agreements, claims, and other Liens of every kind and there exists no restriction on the use or transfer of the Real Estate. 

(b) Except as set forth in Section 4.8(b) of the GES Disclosure Schedules, to the Knowledge of GES, there are no material defects
to the Real Estate, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and all Improvements are sufficient for the operation of the Business as currently conducted thereon. All Improvements located on, and the use presently being made of, the Real Estate comply with
all applicable zoning and building codes, ordinances and regulations and all applicable fire, environmental, occupational safety and health standards and similar standards established by Law, including Environmental Laws, except where non-compliance
does not have a GES Material Adverse Effect, and use thereof by the Company to conduct the Business following Closing, in a substantially similar manner as conducted by GES prior to Closing, will not result in any violation of any such code,

4.17 Investment Representations. 

(a) GES is experienced in evaluating and investing in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it can bear the
economic risk of a complete loss of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the GES Shares. GES has not been formed for the
specific purpose of acquiring the GES Shares. GES is familiar with the business and financial condition and operations of the Company and has had access to such information concerning the Company and the GES Shares as it deems necessary to enable it
to make an informed investment decision concerning the purchase or acquisition of the GES Shares. With the assistance of GES’s own professional advisors, to the extent that GES has deemed appropriate, GES has made its own legal, Tax, accounting
and financial evaluation of the merits and risks of an investment in the GES Shares and the consequences of this Agreement. GES has considered the suitability of the GES Shares as an investment in light of its own circumstances and financial
condition. 
 (b) GES is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 501 of Regulation
D, as presently in effect (“Reg D”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). GES agrees to furnish any additional information requested by the Company or any of its representatives or
Affiliates to assure compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the purchase and sale of the GES Shares. 

(c) The GES Shares to be acquired by GES under this Agreement will be acquired for investment for GES’s own account, not as a nominee or
agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof. GES has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise transferring or distributing the GES Shares. GES does not presently have any contract,
undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the GES Shares. 

  
 20 

 (d) GES understands that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the
Company, and that no public market may ever exist for the GES Shares. 
 (e) GES confirms that it is not relying on any communication
(written or oral) of the Company or any of its representatives or Affiliates, as investment advice or as a recommendation to purchase or acquire the GES Shares. It is understood that information and explanations related to the terms and conditions
of the GES Shares provided by the Company or any of its representatives or Affiliates shall not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to purchase or acquire the GES Shares, and that neither the Company nor any of its representatives or
Affiliates is acting or has acted as an advisor to GES in deciding to invest in the GES Shares. GES acknowledges that neither the Company nor any of its representatives or Affiliates has made any representation regarding the proper characterization
of the GES Shares for purposes of determining GES’s authority to invest in the GES Shares. 
 (f) GES understands that the GES Shares
have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities Laws or blue sky Laws by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend in part upon the investment intent of GES and of the other
representations made by GES in this Agreement. GES understands that the Company is relying upon the representations and agreements contained in this Agreement (and any supplemental information) for the purpose of determining whether this transaction
meets the requirements for such exemptions. GES further understands that as such the GES Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations, such Shares
may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances as provided by applicable Law. In this connection, GES represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently
in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. Consequently, GES understands that GES must bear the economic risks of the investment in the GES Shares for an indefinite period of time. GES understands
that no federal or state agency or other Governmental Authority has passed upon the merits or risks of an investment in the GES or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness or advisability of an investment in the GES Shares. 

(g) GES agrees: (A) that it will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer or otherwise dispose of the GES Shares or any interest therein,
or make any offer or attempt to do any of the foregoing, except pursuant to a registration of the GES Shares under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities Laws, or in a transaction which is exempt from the registration provisions of
the Securities Act and all applicable state securities Laws; (B) that any certificates, book entry notations or document representing the GES Shares may bear a legend making reference to the foregoing restrictions; and (C) that the Company
and its Affiliates shall not be required to give effect to any purported transfer of such GES Shares except upon compliance with the foregoing restrictions. 

  
 21 

 (h) GES acknowledges that neither the Company nor any other Person offered to sell the GES
Shares to it by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising, including but not limited to: (A) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over
television or radio or (B) any seminar or meeting whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising. 

(i) GES confirms that the Company has not (A) given any guarantee or representation as to the potential success, return, effect or
benefit (either legal, regulatory, Tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of an investment in the GES Shares or (B) made any representation to the Buyer regarding the legality of an investment in the Securities under applicable legal
investment or similar laws or regulations. In deciding to purchase the Securities, the Buyer is not relying on the advice or recommendations of the Company and the Buyer has made its own independent decision that the investment in the Securities is
suitable and appropriate for the Buyer. 
 (j) GES will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in effect in any jurisdiction in
which GES purchases, acquires or sells GES Shares and obtain any consent, approval or permission required for such purchases, acquisitions or sales under the laws and regulations of any jurisdiction to which GES is subject or in which GES makes such
purchases, acquisitions or sales, and the Company shall have no responsibility therefor. 
 (k) There is no suit, action or legal,
administrative or arbitration proceeding (including any citations, complaints, consent orders, compliance schedules or other similar enforcement orders), claim or action or any governmental investigation pending against GES or, to the Knowledge of
GES, threatened against GES that questions or challenges GES’s participation, or right to participate in, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

4.18 Corrupt Practices. Neither GES nor any manager, member, director, officer, agent, employee or, to the Knowledge of GES, any other
person associated with or acting on behalf of GES has used any funds of GES for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expense relating to political activity, made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or
domestic governmental official or employee; violated or is in violation of any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “FCPA”), or has made any illegal bribe,
rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment; and GES has conducted the Business in material compliance with the FCPA and analogous state laws and has instituted and maintains policies and procedures designed to ensure, and
which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued material compliance therewith.

(a) The contracts set forth in Section 2.1(b) of the GES Disclosure Schedules and in Section 4.19 of the GES
Disclosure Schedules are correct and complete lists of the agreements, contracts, commitments and understandings, written or oral, to which GES is a party or is subject, and which relate in any respect to the Rig Contract or the Business

5.1 Title to and Adequacy of RAC Contributed Assets. RAC has good, complete and marketable title to all of the RAC Contributed Assets,
free and clear of all Liens of any kind or nature whatsoever. All of the RAC Contributed Assets are in the exclusive possession and control of RAC and RAC has the unencumbered right to use, and the right to transfer to the Company in accordance with

 26 

 
company and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business transacted by it or the character of the properties owned or leased by it requires such licensing or
qualification, except for those jurisdictions where the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the business, condition (financial or otherwise), properties, assets, results of operations
or liabilities of RAC, or impair the ability of RAC to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a “RAC Material Adverse Effect”). 

5.4 Authorization. RAC has full limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to purchase the RAC
Shares, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Any and all limited liability company action on the part of RAC and its officers, managers and members necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this
Agreement, and the performance of all obligations of RAC hereunder and thereunder, has been taken. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of RAC, enforceable against RAC

Laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies. 
 5.5 Compliance with Laws.
Neither RAC, nor, to the Knowledge of RAC, any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or consultants, is in violation of any Law applicable to RAC, and the issuance of all membership interests in RAC has been in compliance with all applicable

(whether or not shown on any Tax Return) relating to the RAC Contributed Assets that are due and payable have been timely paid (subject to all applicable extensions). 

  
 27 

 (c) Except for Taxes not yet due and payable, (i) there are no Liens for unpaid Taxes upon
the RAC Contributed Assets, and (ii) no claim for unpaid Taxes has been made by any Tax authority that could give rise to any such Lien. 

(d) RAC is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and will continue to be classified as a partnership for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, at all times through the Closing. 
 5.9 Investment Representations. 

(a) RAC is experienced in evaluating and investing in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it can bear the
economic risk of a complete loss of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the RAC Shares. RAC has not been formed for the
specific purpose of acquiring the RAC Shares. RAC is familiar with the business and financial condition and operations of the Company and has had access to such information concerning the Company and the RAC Shares as it deems necessary to enable it
to make an informed investment decision concerning the purchase or acquisition of the RAC Shares. With the assistance of RAC’s own professional advisors, to the extent that RAC has deemed appropriate, RAC has made its own legal, Tax, accounting
and financial evaluation of the merits and risks of an investment in the RAC Shares and the consequences of this Agreement. RAC has considered the suitability of the RAC Shares as an investment in light of its own circumstances and financial
condition. 
 (b) RAC is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 501 of Reg D under
the Securities Act. RAC agrees to furnish any additional information requested by the Company or any of its representatives or Affiliates to assure compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the purchase and
sale of the RAC Shares. 
 (c) The RAC Shares to be acquired by RAC under this Agreement will be acquired for investment for RAC’s own
account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof. Subject to distributions being made to the members of RAC pursuant to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability
Company Agreement of RAC, neither RAC nor any member of RAC has the present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise transferring or distributing the RAC Shares. RAC does not presently have any contract, undertaking,
agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the RAC Shares. 

(d) RAC understands that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company, and that no public market may ever
exist for the RAC Shares. 
 (e) RAC confirms that it is not relying on any communication (written or oral) of the Company or any of its
representatives or Affiliates, as investment advice or as a recommendation to purchase or acquire the RAC Shares. It is understood that information and explanations related to the terms and conditions of the RAC Shares provided by the Company or any
of its representatives or Affiliates shall not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to purchase or acquire the RAC Shares, and that neither the Company nor 

  
 28 

 
any of its representatives or Affiliates is acting or has acted as an advisor to RAC in deciding to invest in the RAC Shares. RAC acknowledges that neither the Company nor any of its
representatives or Affiliates has made any representation regarding the proper characterization of the RAC Shares for purposes of determining RAC’s authority to invest in the RAC Shares. 

(f) RAC understands that the RAC Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities Laws or blue sky Laws
by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend in part upon the investment intent of RAC and of the other representations made by RAC in this Agreement. RAC understands that the Company is relying upon the representations
and agreements contained in this Agreement (and any supplemental information) for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements for such exemptions. RAC further understands that as such the RAC Shares are characterized
as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations, such Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances as provided by
applicable Law. In this connection, RAC represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. Consequently, RAC
understands that RAC must bear the economic risks of the investment in the RAC Shares for an indefinite period of time. RAC understands that no federal or state agency or other Governmental Authority has passed upon the merits or risks of an
investment in the RAC or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness or advisability of an investment in the RAC Shares. 

(g) RAC agrees: (A) that it will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer or otherwise dispose of the RAC Shares or any interest therein,
or make any offer or attempt to do any of the foregoing, except pursuant to a registration of the RAC Shares under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities Laws, or in a transaction which is exempt from the registration provisions of
the Securities Act and all applicable state securities Laws; (B) that any certificates, book entry notations or document representing the RAC Shares may bear a legend making reference to the foregoing restrictions; and (C) that the Company
and its Affiliates shall not be required to give effect to any purported transfer of such RAC Shares except upon compliance with the foregoing restrictions. 

(h) RAC acknowledges that neither the Company nor any other Person offered to sell the RAC Shares to it by means of any form of general
solicitation or advertising, including but not limited to: (A) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or (B) any seminar or
meeting whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising. 
 (i) RAC confirms that the Company has not
(A) given any guarantee or representation as to the potential success, return, effect or benefit (either legal, regulatory, Tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of an investment in the RAC Shares or (B) made any representation to the
Buyer regarding the legality of an investment in the Securities under applicable legal investment or similar laws or regulations. In deciding to purchase the Securities, the Buyer is not relying on the advice or recommendations of the Company and
the Buyer has made its own independent decision that the investment in the Securities is suitable and appropriate for the Buyer. 

  
 29 

 (j) RAC will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in effect in any jurisdiction in
which RAC purchases, acquires or sells RAC Shares and obtain any consent, approval or permission required for such purchases, acquisitions or sales under the laws and regulations of any jurisdiction to which RAC is subject or in which RAC makes such
purchases, acquisitions or sales, and the Company shall have no responsibility therefor. 
 (k) There is no suit, action or legal,
administrative or arbitration proceeding (including any citations, complaints, consent orders, compliance schedules or other similar enforcement orders), claim or action or any governmental investigation pending against RAC or, to the Knowledge of
RAC, threatened against RAC that questions or challenges RAC’s participation, or right to participate in, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 7.2 Agreement to Indemnify by GES. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 7.2, GES shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its
successors and assigns, representatives and Affiliates, and each of its directors, officers, partners, members, managers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Company Group”) from and against all claims, actions or causes of
action, assessments, demands, losses, damages, judgments, fines, settlements, liabilities, costs, Taxes and expenses, including interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys’, experts’ and accounting fees and expenses of any nature
whatsoever (collectively, “Damages”), asserted against, suffered by, imposed upon or incurred by any member of the Company Group to the extent caused by, arising out of or resulting from (i) a breach of any representation or
warranty of GES contained herein, (ii) a breach of any covenant or agreement of GES contained herein or (iii) the GES Retained Liabilities. The indemnity provided for in this Section 7.2 is not limited to third-party claims
against members of the Company Group. Except in the case of fraud, the indemnification provided in this Section 7.2 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company with respect to breaches of any representation or warranty of GES
contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GES shall not be liable for Damages for any matter described under Section 7.2(a)(i) unless the total of all Damages in respect of claims made under this Section 7.2(a)(i) by
the Company Group for indemnification from GES shall exceed $1,800,000.00 in the aggregate (the “GES Threshold”), and then for the entire amount of such Damages, including the Threshold; provided, however, that such
limitation shall not apply in the case of fraud or with respect to a breach of any Fundamental GES Representation. The maximum aggregate amount for which GES shall be liable to the Company Group for all Damages for any matter described under this
Section 7.2(a)(i) shall not exceed $18,000,000.00 (the “GES Cap”); provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply in the case of fraud or with respect to a breach of any Fundamental GES
Representation. Except for Damages arising from third-party claims for Damages payable in cash, which shall be payable by GES solely in cash, GES shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to satisfy any indemnification obligation under this
Section 7.2 by payment in cash or by the forfeiture of the number of GES Shares equal to (y) the amount of the indemnification obligation owed by GES, divided by (z) the Per Share Fair Market Value of the GES Shares at the time
such indemnification obligation is owed to the Company. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, GES shall indemnify and
hold harmless each of the members of the Company Group from and against any and all Damages (including reasonable costs of investigation) asserted against, suffered by, imposed upon or incurred by each of the members of the Company Group arising out
of or based upon (i) the failure of the Rule 144A Offering to comply with the Securities Act and all applicable federal and state securities and blue sky Laws or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact
contained in the Company Offering Materials or in any amendment or supplement thereto or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, except insofar as such Damages arise out of or are based upon 

  
 34 

 
any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that has been made therein or omitted therefrom in reliance upon and in conformity with the information relating to the
Company or the Business furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Company expressly for use in connection with the Company Offering Materials. 

7.3 Agreement to Indemnify by RAC. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 7.3, RAC shall indemnify, defend and
hold harmless the Company Group from and against all Damages asserted against, suffered by, imposed upon or incurred by any member of the Company Group to the extent caused by, arising out of or resulting from (a) a breach of any representation
or warranty of RAC contained herein, (b) a breach of any covenant or agreement of RAC contained herein or (c) the RAC Retained Liabilities. The indemnity provided for in this Section 7.3 is not limited to third-party claims
against members of the Company Group. Except in the case of fraud, the indemnification provided in this Section 7.3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company with respect to breaches of any representation or warranty of RAC
contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, RAC shall not be liable for Damages for any matter described under Section 7.3(a) unless the total of all Damages in respect of claims made under this Section 7.3(a) by the
Company Group for indemnification from RAC shall exceed, in the aggregate, 5% of the Aggregate Value of the RAC Contributed Assets (the “RAC Threshold”) and then for the entire amount of the Damages, including the RAC Threshold;
provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply in the case of fraud or with respect to a breach of any Fundamental RAC Representation. The maximum aggregate amount for which RAC shall be liable to the Company Group for all
Damages for any matter described under this Section 7.3(a) shall not exceed 50% of the Aggregate Value of the RAC Contributed Assets (the “RAC Cap”); provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply
in the case of fraud or with respect to a breach of any Fundamental RAC Representation. Any indemnification obligation of RAC under this Section 7.3 shall be satisfied in full by the forfeiture of the number of RAC Shares equal to
(i) the amount of the indemnification obligation owed by RAC, divided by (ii) the Per Share Fair Market Value of the RAC Shares at the time such indemnification obligation is owed to the Company. The amounts of the RAC Threshold and the
RAC Cap shall be definitively determined and set forth on Exhibit H at the Closing. 
 7.4 Per Share Fair Market Value.
For the purpose of this Agreement, “Per Share Fair Market Value” shall be determined as follows: 
 (i) If
the Company’s common stock is publicly traded at the date on which the Per Share Fair Market Value is to be determined, the Per Share Fair Market Value shall equal the average closing price for the Company’s common stock for the thirty
(30) trading days immediately preceding the date on which Per Share Fair Market Value is to be determined. 
 (ii) If
the Company’s common stock is not publicly traded on the date of such determination, the Per Share Fair Market Value shall be determined by an agreement between the Company and GES or RAC, as applicable (the “Indemnifying
Party”), within fifteen (15) days after the date in question; provided, however, if the Company and the Indemnifying Party are unable to agree upon such valuation within such time period, the Per Share Fair Market Value
shall be determined by an appraisal firm mutually selected by the 

  
 35 

 
Company and the Indemnifying Party, which appraisal shall be binding on both the Company and the Indemnifying Party. In the event the Company and the Indemnifying Party are unable to agree on the
selection of an appraisal firm within ten (10) days, then each party shall, within ten (10) days thereafter, select an appraisal firm to appraise the Per Share Fair Market Value of the common stock of the Company, and the two selected
appraisers shall select a third appraiser. All three appraisers shall have experience in appraising businesses similar in type and nature to the Company for at least ten (10) years. Each appraisal firm so selected shall furnish the Company and
the Indemnifying Party with a written appraisal within thirty (30) days of its selection, setting forth its determination of the Per Share Fair Market Value as of the date of the indemnification obligation is owed to the Company. Such appraisal
shall assume that the operation of the Company’s assets shall be the highest and best use thereof, and the appraisal shall include value for any intangible assets of the Company, such as goodwill. The Per Share Fair Market Value shall be agreed
upon by the three appraisers; provided, however, that if the three appraisers cannot agree upon such value, then the valuations of each of the three appraisers shall be submitted to the Company and the Indemnifying Party and the Per
Share Fair Market Value shall be determined as follows: 
 (A) If any two or more of the appraisers are able to agree on the
Per Share Fair Market Value, then such value shall be the Per Share Fair Market Value. 
 (B) If no two appraisers agree upon
such value, then the Per Share Fair Market Value shall be determined in the following manner: 
 (1) If the highest value
set by one appraiser is not more than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the next lower value set by another appraiser and the lowest value set by one appraiser is not less than ninety percent (90%) of the next higher value set by another
appraiser, then the values set by the three appraisers shall be added together and divided by three, and the amount resulting shall represent the Per Share Fair Market Value. 

(2) If the highest value set by one appraiser is more than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the next lower value set by
another appraiser, then the highest value shall be reduced to an amount equal to said one hundred ten percent (110%) figure; and if the lowest value set by one appraiser is less than ninety percent (90%) of the next higher value set by
another appraiser, then the lowest value shall be increased to an amount equal to said ninety percent (90%) figure. The three values, adjusted as provided above, shall be added together and divided by three, and the amount resulting shall
represent the Per Share Fair Market Value. 

  
 36 

 7.5 Conditions of Indemnification by Each Contributor. The obligations and liabilities of
each Contributor to indemnify the Company Group under Section 7.2 or 7.3, as applicable, resulting from the assertion of any Damages by third parties shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: 

(a) The indemnified party will give the indemnifying party prompt notice of any such claim, and the indemnifying party will undertake the
defense thereof by representatives of its own choosing reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, provided that failure to provide such notice will not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder unless and to the extent it is
actually prejudiced by such failure to receive such notice. If the indemnifying party, within twenty (20) days after notice of any such claim, fails to give notice of its intent to defend such claim, the indemnified party will (upon further
notice to the indemnifying party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the indemnifying party. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.5 to the contrary, (i) an indemnified party shall have the right, at its own
cost and expense, to participate in the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim (except if there exists an actual or potential conflict of interest between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, such participation, including the
reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel, shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not, without the written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment (x) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party a release from all
liability in respect of such claim or (y) as a result of which injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the indemnified party, and (iii) the indemnified party shall have the right to control the defense or settlement
of that portion of any claim which seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief against the indemnified party; provided, however, that in connection with the defense or settlement of the portion of such claim which seeks
equitable relief, the indemnified party shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party.

with respect to RAC, the “RAC Group”) from and against all Damages asserted against, suffered by, imposed upon or incurred by any member of the GES Group or the RAC Group to the extent caused by a breach of any covenant, agreement,
representation or warranty of the Company contained herein. The indemnity provided for in this Section 7.7 is not limited to third-party claims against members of the GES Group or the RAC Group. Except in the case of fraud, the

the Company by GES and RAC (the “Company Threshold”), and then for the entire amount of the Damages, including the Company Threshold; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply in the case of fraud, with
respect to a breach of any Fundamental Company Representation or with respect to any covenant or agreement of the Company pertaining to Taxes. The maximum aggregate amount for which the Company shall be liable to the Contributors for all Damages
hereunder shall not exceed 50% of the aggregate value contributed to the Company by GES and RAC (the “Company Cap”); provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply in the case of fraud, with respect to a
breach of any Fundamental Company Representation or with respect to any covenant or agreement of the Company pertaining to Taxes. The amounts of the Company Threshold and the Company Cap shall be definitively determined and set forth on
Exhibit I at the Closing. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company shall indemnify and hold
harmless each of the members of each of the GES Group and the RAC Group from and against any and all Damages (including reasonable costs of investigation) asserted against, suffered by, imposed upon or incurred by the members of each of the GES

untrue statement of material fact contained in the Company Offering Materials or in any amendment or supplement thereto or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such Damages arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that has been made therein or omitted therefrom in
reliance upon and in conformity with the information relating to the Company, the Business, the GES Group or the RAC Group furnished in writing by or on behalf of either the GES Group or the RAC Group expressly for use in connection with the Company
Offering Materials. 
 7.8 Conditions of Indemnification by the Company. The obligations and liabilities of the Company to indemnify
the GES Group and the RAC Group under Section 7.7 resulting from the assertion of any Damages by third parties shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: 

(a) The indemnified party will give the indemnifying party prompt notice of any such claim, and the indemnifying party will undertake the
defense thereof by representatives of its own choosing reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, provided 

  
 38 

 
that failure to provide such notice will not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder unless and to the extent it is actually prejudiced by such failure to receive such notice.
If the indemnifying party, within twenty (20) days after notice of any such claim, fails to give notice of its intent to defend such claim, the indemnified party will (upon further notice to the indemnifying party) have the right to undertake
the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of indemnifying party. 
 (b) Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 7.8 to the contrary, (i) an indemnified party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim (except if there exists an actual or
potential conflict of interest between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, such participation, including the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel, shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party), (ii) the
indemnifying party shall not, without the written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment (x) which does not include
as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party a release from all liability in respect of such claim or (y) as a result of which injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed
against the indemnified party, and (iii) the indemnified party shall have the right to control the defense or settlement of that portion of any claim which seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief against the indemnified party;
provided, however, that in connection with the defense or settlement of the portion of such claim which seeks equitable relief, the indemnified party shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party.

type and with the coverage limits that are substantially comparable to the insurance policies currently carried by GES to insure the GES Contributed Assets to be in full force and effect as of the Closing Date. 

9.5 Title and Survey. 

(a) GES has delivered to the Company a preliminary title commitment (the “Title Commitment”), sufficient for the issuance of
a TLTA Owner Policy of Title Insurance with respect to the Real Estate in the amount of $3,900,000.00 (the “Title Policy”), issued by American Title Company of Houston, 2000 Bering Drive, Suite 1000, Houston, Texas 77057 (the
“Title Company”) as agent for First American Title Insurance Company (the “Title Underwriter”), together with true, correct and legible copies of all instruments referred to therein as conditions or exceptions to
title. The Company will have ten (10) days after receipt of the last of the Title Commitment, legible copies of documents evidencing title exceptions, and the Updated Survey (defined below) to object in writing to matters disclosed in the Title
Commitment other than the standard printed exceptions contained in the promulgated form of the Title Commitment. The Company’s failure to object under this paragraph within the time allowed will constitute a waiver of the Company’s right
to object, except that the requirements in Schedule C of the Title Commitment will not be deemed to have been waived. If objections hereunder are made by the Company within the time allowed, GES shall notify the Company within five (5) days of
receipt of such objections as to whether GES intends to cure such objections, in which event GES shall have ten (10) days after the date of such notice to the Company to cure such objections. If GES has not notified the Company within five
(5) days of receipt of the Company’s objections under this paragraph of its intent to cure such objections or if GES elects not to cure all of such objections, the Company shall have only the right, by giving notice thereof to GES within
ten (10) days of the expiration of GES’s reply period or receipt of GES’s election not to cure the Company’s objections, (a) to terminate this Agreement, or (b) to waive such objections under this paragraph and proceed
to Closing. In the event the Company does not give such election notice within said ten (10) days period, the Company shall be deemed to have elected option (b) above. Should GES elect to cure the Company’s objections and fail to do
so within the time allowed hereunder, the Company may elect to extend the Closing Date as necessary to allow GES to cure such objections, or to terminate this Agreement, 

  
 43 

 
or to waive such objections and proceed to Closing under the provisions as stated herein. Those exceptions that appear in the Title Commitment and conditions shown on the Updated Survey (defined
below), in each case as accepted by the Company pursuant to the terms of Section 9.5, shall constitute the “Permitted Exceptions”; provided, however, that the term “Permitted Exceptions” shall not
include any Liens or title defects that GES is obligated to cure hereunder or agrees to cure before the Closing. 
 (b) GES has delivered to
the Company a Texas Society of Professional Surveyors Category 1A, Condition II, as-built survey for the Real Estate (“Original Survey”). The Company may, at the Company’s sole discretion and expense, have prepared by a Texas
registered land surveyor, and deliver to GES, not later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, an updated survey of the Real Estate (“Updated Survey”) and metes and bounds field note description thereof, properly
certified to the Company and the Title Company. The Original Survey and the Updated Survey (collectively, the “Surveys”), shall: (i) identify the Real Estate by metes and bounds or platted lot description; (ii) show that
such Survey was made and staked on the ground with corners permanently marked; (iii) set forth the dimensions and total area of the Real Estate; (iv) show the location of all Improvements, highways, streets, roads, railroads, rivers,
creeks, or other waterways, fences, easements, and rights of way on the Real Estate with all easements and rights of way referenced to their recording information; and (v) show any discrepancies or conflicts in boundaries, any visible
encroachments, and any portion of the Real Estate lying within the 100-year floodplain as shown on the current Federal Emergency Management Agency map. The Company may within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of each Survey object in writing
to any matter that constitutes a defect or encumbrance to title on such Survey or if such Survey shows any part of the Real Estate to lie in a 100-year floodplain area. The Company’s failure to object under this paragraph within the time
allowed will constitute a waiver of the Company’s right to object, except that the requirements in Schedule C of the Title Commitment will not be deemed to have been waived. The Company’s failure to make an objection with regard to the
Original Survey shall constitute a waiver of the Company’s right to make the same objection to the Updated Survey. If objections hereunder are made by the Company within the time allowed, such objections shall be dealt with in accordance with
the provisions of Section 9.5(a). The legal description used in the Updated Survey and approved by the Company and GES shall be utilized in the Deed and other documents and schedules related to this Agreement, including Schedule
2.1(e) of the GES Disclosure Schedules (which schedule shall, notwithstanding Section 4.23, be updated with such description from the Updated Survey that is so approved). 

(c) At the Closing, the Company shall, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, obtain the Title Policy with respect to the Real Estate.
The Title Policy shall show fee simple title to the Real Estate vested in the Company, subject only to: (a) current real estate Taxes not yet due and payable, the liability for which is apportioned pursuant to Section 9.9; and
(b) the Permitted Exceptions. 
 9.6 Offering Materials. 

(a) The Company shall promptly provide to GES, when available, copies of all materials and documents related to and prepared in connection
with the Rule 144A Offering and any other sale of interests in the Company before the Closing Date, including, 

  
 44 

 
without limitation, any and all organizational documents of the Company (the “Company Offering Materials”). The Closing shall be subject to the review and approval of the Company
Offering Materials by GES, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
 (b) RAC shall promptly provide to GES, when
available, copies of all materials and documents related to and prepared in connection with the sale of any of its equity interests, including, without limitation, any and all organizational documents of RAC (the “RAC Offering
Materials”). The Closing shall be subject to the review and approval of the RAC Offering Materials by GES and the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

9.7 Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Close. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each party hereto covenants and agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and will fully cooperate with the other parties hereto for such purpose. 
 (b) The Company
and each Contributor agrees to immediately notify the other parties to the Agreement of any event, fact or circumstance of which such party becomes aware that could reasonably be expected to result in the failure of a condition set forth in
Sections 10 or 11 to be satisfied and, if such condition is curable, to allow such party a reasonable opportunity to satisfy such condition. 

9.8 Confidentiality of Materials. 

(a) The parties hereto agree with respect to all technical, commercial and other information that is furnished or disclosed by any other party
hereto, including information regarding such party’s (and its subsidiaries’ and Affiliates’) organization, personnel, business activities, customers, policies, assets, finances, costs, sales, revenues, technology, rights, obligations,
liabilities and strategies (“Information”), that, unless and until the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall have been consummated, (a) such Information is confidential and/or proprietary to the furnishing/disclosing
party and entitled to and shall receive treatment as such by the receiving party; (b) the receiving party will hold in confidence and not disclose nor use (except in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) any such
Information, treating such Information with the same degree of care and confidentiality as it accords its own confidential and proprietary Information; provided, however, that the receiving party shall not have any restrictive obligation with
respect to any Information which (i) is available to the general public, (ii) is or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act or omission of the receiving party or any third party that the receiving party knows, after reasonable
inquiry, has a duty of confidentiality to such disclosing party with respect to such information, or (iii) is known by the receiving party without any proprietary restrictions by the furnishing/disclosing party at the time of receipt of such
Information; and (c) all such Information furnished to a party hereto by any other party hereto, unless otherwise specified in writing, shall remain the property of the furnishing/disclosing party and, in the event this Agreement is terminated,
shall be returned to it, together with any and all copies made thereof, upon request for such return by it (except for documents submitted to a Governmental Authority with the consent of the furnishing/disclosing party or upon subpoena and which
cannot be 

  
 45 

 
retrieved with reasonable effort) and in the case of (x) oral information furnished to any party by the other which shall have been reduced to writing by the receiving party and (y) all
internal documents of any party describing, analyzing or otherwise containing Information furnished by the other party, all such writings and documents shall be destroyed, upon request, in the event this Agreement is terminated, and each party shall
confirm in writing to the other compliance with any such request. 
 (b) Each party hereto acknowledges that the remedy at law for any
breach by either party of its obligations under this Section 9.8 is inadequate and that the other parties shall be entitled to equitable remedies, including an injunction, in the event of breach by such party. 

(c) Reference is hereby made to that certain Non-Disclosure Agreement dated October 14, 2011 by and between GES and the Company, as
successor-in-interest to Independence Contract Drilling, LLC (the “Non-Disclosure Agreement”). In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Non-Disclosure Agreement, the terms of the Non-Disclosure
Agreement shall govern. 
 9.9 Non-Solicitation. 

(a) During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date (the
“Restricted Period”), none of GES, SWOP and WSS (each, a “GES Company”), and collectively, the “GES Companies”), shall (and each shall cause its Affiliates not to) directly, or indirectly through
another Person, (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company (or any of its Affiliates) to leave his or her employment, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company (or any of its Affiliates) and any such
employee, (ii) hire any person who was an employee of the Company (or any of its Affiliates) at any time during the six-month period immediately prior to the date on which such hiring would take place, or (iii) call on, solicit or service
any customer, charterer, lessor, vendor, licensee, licensor or other business relation of the Company in order to induce or attempt to induce such Person to cease doing or decrease their business with the Company or its Affiliates, or in any way
interfere with the relationship between any such customer, charterer, lessor, vendor, licensee, licensor or other business relation of the Company or its Affiliates (including making any negative statements or communications about the Company or its
Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this Section 9.9(c) shall not apply to the employees of any shareholders of the Company and shall not prohibit (Y) the employment of employees of the Company
who solicit any of the GES Companies for employment or (Z) the solicitation of employees through general advertising (e.g., newspaper or internet), or the hiring of employees responding to such general advertising. Furthermore, for the
avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 9.9 (c) shall prohibit any of the GES Companies from doing business with any vendors of the Company in the normal course of business. 

(b) During the Restricted Period, the Company shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) directly, or indirectly through another

such employee, (ii) hire any person who was an employee of the GES 

  
 46 

 
Companies (or any of their Affiliates) at any time during the six-month period immediately prior to the date on which such hiring would take place, or (iii) with respect to the GES Affiliate
Businesses, call on, solicit or service any customer, charterer, lessor, vendor, licensee, licensor or other business relation of the GES Companies in order to induce or attempt to induce such Person to cease doing or decrease their business with
the GES Companies or their Affiliates, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, charterer, lessor, vendor, licensee, licensor or other business relation of the GES Companies or their Affiliates (including making any
negative statements or communications about the GES Companies or their Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this Section 9.9(b) shall not apply to (A) the employees of any members of IDM Group,

doing business with any vendors of the GES Companies in the normal course of business. 
 (c) If, at the time of enforcement of any of the
provisions of this Section 9.9, a court determines that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under the circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under
the circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area. The parties further agree that such court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope or geographical area permitted by
Law. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the restricted periods set forth in Section 9.9(a) or

(e) If either GES or the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of
Section 9.8 or this Section 9.9 (the “Restrictive Covenants”), the non-breaching party shall have the right and remedy (i) to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court of
competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury to such party and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to the non-breaching party; and
(ii) to require the breaching party to account for and pay over to the non-breaching party any profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by the breaching party as the result of any transactions constituting a
breach of the Restrictive Covenants. Each of the rights and remedies set forth herein shall be independent of the others, severally enforceable, and in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the non-breaching
party at law or in equity. 
 (f) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Restrictive Covenants shall not apply
to Lime Rock Management, L.P. and its Affiliates or 4D Global Energy Advisors S.A.S. and its Affiliates.

the GES Contributed Assets (collectively, “GES Transfer Taxes”). GES, RAC, and the Company agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any GES Transfer Taxes, and to obtain any certificate or
other document from any Tax authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any GES Transfer Taxes. GES at its own expense shall file, or cause to be filed, all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with
respect to any GES Transfer Taxes. GES, RAC, and the Company shall each cooperate with one another in the preparation of any necessary Tax Returns and other related documentation with respect to GES Transfer Taxes (including any exemption
certificates and forms as each may request to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce) or make a report with respect to GES Transfer Taxes). 

(b) RAC Transfer Taxes. The Company shall pay and be responsible for any Transfer Taxes imposed on, or resulting from, the transfer of
any of the RAC Contributed Assets (collectively, “RAC Transfer Taxes”). GES, RAC, and the Company agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any RAC Transfer Taxes, and to obtain any
certificate or other document from any Tax authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any RAC Transfer Taxes. The Company at its own expense shall file, or cause to be filed, all necessary Tax Returns and
other documentation with respect to any RAC Transfer Taxes. GES, RAC, and the Company shall each cooperate with one another in the preparation of any necessary Tax Returns and other related documentation with respect to RAC Transfer Taxes (including
any exemption certificates and forms as each may request to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce) or make a report with respect to RAC Transfer Taxes). 

(c) Property Taxes on GES Contributed Assets. With respect to any Property Taxes, including payments in-lieu-of Property Taxes,
assessed on any of the GES Contributed Assets for a Straddle Period, the liability for such Property Taxes shall be prorated on a daily basis between GES and the Company as of the Closing Date, (i) with GES being liable for the portion of such
Property Taxes equal to the product of (1) the amount of such Property Taxes for the entirety of the Straddle Period, multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on and including
the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period, and (ii) with the Company being liable for the remainder of such Property Taxes. Prior to the Closing Date, GES and the Company shall jointly, in
good faith, estimate the amount of Property Taxes for which GES is liable with regard to Straddle Periods pursuant to this Section 9.10(c) (the “Estimated Property Taxes”), and GES shall make a cash payment at the
Closing to the Company for the amount of the Estimated Property Taxes. If the Property Taxes for a Straddle Period cannot be reasonably determined prior to the Closing because the applicable Tax rate or assessment with respect to the applicable
Assets is not fixed for such Straddle Period, the amount of Estimated Property Taxes shall be determined based upon the amount of the applicable Property Taxes for the preceding Tax year; provided, that GES and the Company shall recalculate
and reprorate said Property Taxes and payments and make the necessary adjustments and payments promptly upon the issuance, and on the basis, of the actual Property Tax bills received for such Straddle Period. 

  
 48 

 (d) Property Taxes on RAC Contributed Assets. With respect to any Property Taxes,
including payments in-lieu-of Property Taxes, assessed on any of the RAC Contributed Assets for a Straddle Period, the liability for such Property Taxes shall be the responsibility of the Company. 

(e) Tax Cooperation. The Company and each Contributor shall, with respect to the matters contemplated in this Agreement, (i) each
assist the other parties as may reasonably be requested by the other in the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Return (including any claim for a Tax refund); (ii) each assist the other as may reasonably be requested by the other in
connection with any proceeding with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns; (iii) each retain and make available to the other any information, records, or other documents relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns as may reasonably be requested by the
other; (iv) each provide the other with any information as may reasonably be requested by the other in order to allow them to comply with any information reporting or withholding requirements contained in the Code or other applicable Laws; and
(v) each provide the other with such certificates or forms, and timely execute any Tax Return, that are reasonably necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or reduction in) any GES Transfer Tax or RAC Transfer Tax. In addition,
the Company and the Contributors each will retain until the applicable statutes of limitations (including any extensions) have expired copies of all Tax Returns (including supporting work schedules, and other records or information that may be
relevant to such Tax Returns) and other Tax records relating to the Contributed Assets and the Business in its possession and will not destroy or otherwise dispose of any such Tax Returns or records without first providing the other with a
reasonable opportunity to review and copy or retain the same. 
 (f) Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal income tax purposes (and state,
local, and foreign Tax purposes where applicable), GES, RAC, and the Company intend for the GES Contribution, the RAC Contribution, and the Rule 144A Offering to be treated as a single integrated transaction that qualifies as a transaction described
in Section 351 of the Code. Each of GES, RAC, and the Company shall report and file (and shall cause its Affiliates to report and file) its respective U.S. federal income tax returns (and state, local, and foreign Tax Returns where applicable)
in all respects and for all purposes consistent with such intent and treatment. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, neither GES, RAC, nor the Company shall take any position, or allow its respective Affiliates to take any position,
whether in any applicable Tax Return, audit, examination, claim, adjustment, litigation or other proceeding with respect to U.S. federal income tax (and state, local, or foreign Tax purposes where applicable), which is inconsistent with such intent
and treatment.

performance of this Contract due to events beyond its reasonable control including, but not limited to, changes in law or regulations, exchange rate fluctuations, or changes in the prices of raw
materials from the date of Quote, Seller shall submit evidence of the increase and Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the increased costs. Seller shall have the right to submit evidence of escalation without regard to the 3% threshold, if Buyer delays

	3.	Delivery 

 3.1 Date: EXW Delivery Date
shall be as listed in Exhibit B (“Delivery Date”). 
 3.2 Risk of Loss: Risk of loss of Rig transfers to Buyer upon
delivery of Rig to Buyer or Buyer’s designated carrier or other representative in accordance with the provisions of §3.3; provided, however, that title to Rig shall not pass from Seller to Buyer until the Sales Price is paid in full.

 3.3 Delivery: Delivery of Rig shall be EXW, not packed for export. 
 3.4 Notice of Completion and Inspection: Seller shall provide Buyer with 30 days prior notice of the Rig’s expected completion date (“Completion Date”), and Buyer shall have 10 days
after Completion Date (meaning the date on which Rig is ready for delivery to the carrier in disassembled form) to inspect and accept Rig or to raise objections that Rig, in whole or in part, does not meet Technical Specifications (as defined in
§5.1). If Buyer fails to raise objections in writing during the inspection period, Rig is deemed accepted and delivery is deemed to have occurred. If Buyer timely raises an objection, §3.7 will apply to corrections. Buyer shall accept the
scope of supply pursuant to Exhibit D. 
 3.5 Testing: Incorporated into Technical Specifications (as defined in §5.1) is the
protocol of components testing for Rig, and Buyer shall have the right to have a representative present at any testing. 
 3.6 Buyer
Representatives at Inspections: In the event Buyer desires to have a representative present for pre-operational testing in Seller’s plant, Buyer shall notify Seller and request that Seller notify Buyer five business days in advance of any
testing. If Buyer’s representative after Seller’s delivery of prior notice of the location and time of the testing of Rig is absent during any testing, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the results of the testing. 

3.7 Opportunity to Cure: In the event that Buyer timely raises objections in accordance with §3.4 that Rig does not meet Technical Specifications,
Seller shall have a reasonable period of time to correct any defect, and Completion Date shall be delayed to reflect the new Completion Date, if applicable. Buyer will be entitled to inspect any correction work and to request further testing and/or
further work to remedy defects as may be necessary until Rig meets Technical Specifications. Seller shall be responsible for all costs of testing and any necessary cures.

reimburse Seller for all work performed (regardless of the state of completion) and shall pay to Seller (a) the net cost of all materials, transportation, insurance, and handling for which Seller has made firm contracts prior to Seller’s
receipt of Buyer’s cancellation notice and which cannot be cancelled and (b) all amounts paid in settlement or termination of claims of subcontractors and suppliers and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in effecting cancellation
(including all restocking charges and demobilization costs). For any parts, equipment or components for which Buyer has reimbursed Seller or funded in full through down payment, shall be transferred at Buyer’s cost for shipping and delivery as
soon as reasonably possible to Buyer. 
  

	4.	Changes

or modification to this Contract. 
 4.2 Consent by Buyer or Seller may only be established by written consent executed by a designated
representative as identified in Exhibit F. No individual or official not named on Exhibit F is authorized to execute a modification to this Contract, and the Parties specifically acknowledge and agree that no apparent authority may be
relied on in modifying this Contract. 
 4.3 If Buyer requests and Seller agrees to a modification or change to Rig that results in a change in
the Completion Date, the Parties agree to a reasonable extension of the estimated Completion Date to reflect the new expected date of completion. All requested changes shall be documented in accordance with Exhibit E. 

 

	5.	Technical Specifications 

 5.1 All
specifications (“Technical Specifications”) delivered in connection with this Contract shall be set forth in Quote.

Price and/or a change in the expected Completion Date and/or the Delivery Date. 
  

	6.	Documentation 

 Seller shall produce to
Buyer all required final documentation (“Documentation”) as set out in Exhibit C. 
  

	7.	Packing/Shipping 

 7.1 Buyer shall engage
a third-party contractor responsible for packing all Rig in accordance with Buyer’s requirements. 
 7.2 Seller shall not be responsible or
liable for packaging Rig for shipment or for shipping Rig. 

	8.	Warranty of Workmanship and Materials 

8.1 New equipment manufactured by Seller is warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship and to conform to the specifications contained
herein for a period of 12 months from Delivery Date or 18 months from the Completion Date, whichever period expires first, provided Buyer subjects the new equipment to the operating conditions specified by Buyer when the order is placed and in
accordance with Seller’s operating and maintenance instructions, if any, and storage requirements, if any. Remanufactured equipment provided by Seller is warranted for 12 months from Completion Date. THIS IS SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE
WARRANTY. If a defect in Rig appears within a designated warranty period, and Buyer has given written notice within such warranty period (or 30 days after expiration of such warranty period in the event a defect in Rig appears within 30 days of
expiration of such warranty period), Seller will promptly repair or replace the part, at Seller’s option, by shipping a similar part FOB shipping point or, at Seller’s option, refund an equitable portion of the Sales Price. Seller may
require the return of the defective part within 60 days of failure to a designated Seller location, transportation prepaid to establish Buyer’s claim. No allowance will be made for repairs undertaken without Seller’s prior written consent.
This warranty applies only to equipment manufactured by Seller and excludes standard equipment maintenance items, hoses, and expendables. Any descriptions of equipment, drawings, specifications, and any samples, models, bulletins, or similar
material, used in connection with this sale are for the sole purpose of identifying equipment and are not to be construed as an express warranty that Rig will conform to the description. Any field advisory or installation support is advisory only.
EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY PROVIDED ABOVE, THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES AND NONE SHALL BE IMPLIED IN LAW OR OTHERWISE INCLUDING THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, CONFORMITY TO MODELS OR SAMPLES, DILIGENCE, AND
WORKMANLIKE SERVICE. SELLER’S WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS AND PURCHASER’S REMEDIES ARE SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY AS STATED IN THIS ARTICLE 8. Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for breach of warranty under this Article 8, whether
based upon warranty, contract or tort, including negligence, will be to proceed under this warranty. All liability of Seller shall terminate 12 months from Delivery Date or 18 months from the Completion Date, whichever period expires first.

 8.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of §8.1, the Warranty shall not apply to any part of Rig that: 

 

	a.	has been altered or repaired by anyone other than Seller or Seller’s duly authorized representative; 

 

	b.	has been used or maintained other than in accordance with Documentation; 

  

	c.	has been misused or damaged due to the unreasonable use, negligence, or accident of Buyer, Buyer’s customer, or any other person or entity;

  

	d.	has been unreasonably used by Buyer, Buyer’s customer, or any other person or entity after any person or entity knew or should have known of the defect; or

  

	e.	is considered expendable in nature and expires as a result of normal wear and tear in the use of Rig.

 

  
 Domestic Drilling Rig
Contract (DRC 04-2010) 

 8.3 To the extent that Seller has received from the manufacturer thereof a warranty with term and scope
similar to the warranties provided to Seller herein, and such warranties are assignable from Seller to Buyer, any portion of Rig sold to Buyer pursuant to this Contract but not manufactured by Seller is not warranted to any extent by Seller, but
Seller shall assign to Buyer, without recourse, any warranties furnished to Seller by the vendors or manufacturers of that equipment to the extent any warranties are assignable by Seller. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in any resulting dispute
Buyer may have with any vendors or manufacturers, provided Seller shall not be obligated to incur any costs or initiate any litigation. 
 8.4
Seller’s liability for any breach of Warranty shall be limited to: 
  

	a.	causing Rig to perform in accordance with this Contract and Technical Specifications by repairing or replacing (at Seller’s option) any defective Rig; or

  

	b.	reimbursing Buyer for the cost of repair or replacement in accordance with the provisions of §8.6. 

8.5 If Seller advises Buyer that Seller is able to perform the warranty work, as described in §8.4, Buyer or owner/operator is obligated to allow
the warranty work to be performed by Seller at Seller’s cost. In the event Seller determines that the repair or replacement is not a valid warranty claim, Buyer or owner/operator shall be charged for the parts, labor, and other trip expenses,
including per diem rates where applicable, at Seller’s then current published rates, subject to Buyer’s right to contest the warranty determination in accordance with Article 11. 

8.6 In the event Seller advises Buyer or the owner/operator that Seller is unable to perform the warranty work, as described in §8.4, Buyer or
owner/operator may elect to cause the necessary warranty repairs or replacements to be made by a third party. In this event, Seller’s sole obligation shall be to reimburse Buyer for the reasonable costs incurred by Buyer for the repairs or
replacements. If Buyer elects to proceed under the provisions of this §8.6, Buyer shall, as soon as possible (but in any event prior to the commencement of the repairs or replacements), notify Seller of the time, place, and estimated cost of
the repairs or replacements. Seller shall have the right to verify, at its sole cost and expense, by its own representative, the nature and extent of the defects complained of prior to the time that the repairs or replacements are made, and if, in
fact, no breach of the warranty has occurred, Buyer shall pay to Seller a per diem fee equal to Seller’s then current labor rate schedule and the reasonable expenses incurred by the representative, subject to Buyer’s right to contest the
warranty determination in accordance with Article 11. Seller does not warrant the work of others who conduct repairs or replacements. 
 8.7 The
remedies provided above for breach of the warranty are exclusive. In no event shall the obligation of Seller to repair or replace (or to reimburse Buyer for the cost of repairing or replacing) defective parts be construed to require Seller to repair
or replace (or to reimburse Buyer for the cost of repairing or replacing) more than the original purchase price of the part that is found to be defective. Rig, as a whole,

 
shall not be construed to be a “part” for the purposes of the preceding sentence and this Contract. 
 8.8 Seller shall have no obligation or liability for any breach of the warranty unless (a) the date of discovery of the defect or failure of Rig to perform in accordance with this Contract or
Technical Specifications was prior to the expiration of the designated warranty period set forth in §8.1 and (b) Buyer shall have provided Seller with written notice of the defect or failure within 30 days of discovery. 

8.9 Buyer represents that it reviewed Technical Specifications and is satisfied that Rig meets its operating requirements. 

8.10 Seller offers no warranties for structural design or operating performance of Rig manufactured pursuant to drawings, designs, or specifications of
Buyer or a third party acting for Buyer. 
 8.11 Seller may subcontract all orders. 

 

	9.	Limitations of Liability 

 9.1 Neither
Buyer nor Seller shall be liable for any special, indirect, speculative or consequential damages of any type or character (including, but not limited to, loss of profit, use, or production) arising from or related in any way to this Contract or its
performance. 
 9.2 To the full extent of applicable law and not specifically found elsewhere in this Contract, Seller’s total liability,
in the aggregate, to Buyer or any entity claiming by, through, or under Buyer for any Claims from any cause or causes including, but not limited to, any breach of contract or warranty or negligence or strict liability shall not exceed the Sales
Price of Rig provided by Seller. 
  

	10.	Indemnification

performance of this Contract, the Parties’ indemnity obligations shall apply to events at any geographic location where this Contract is being performed by Buyer or Seller or, following the Delivery Date, where Rig is being used by or for the
benefit of Buyer.

COMPANIES AND ITS AND THEIR AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, EMPLOYEES, INSURERS, INVITEES, OFFICERS, OWNERS, REPRESENTATIVES, OR STOCKHOLDERS (“BUYER’S GROUP”) HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL CAUSES OF ACTION, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, DEMANDS, LIABILITY,
LOSSES, AND SUITS OF EVERY TYPE AND CHARACTER, INCLUDING ALL LITIGATION EXPENSES, COURT COSTS, AND ATTORNEY’S FEES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THE RIG OR THIS CONTRACT (“CLAIMS”) ARISING IN FAVOR OF SELLER OR ITS PARENT,
SUBSIDIARY, OR AFFILIATED COMPANIES AND ITS AND THEIR AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, EMPLOYEES, INSURERS, INVITEES, OFFICERS, OWNERS, REPRESENTATIVES, OR STOCKHOLDERS (“SELLER’S GROUP”) THAT ARE ASSERTED FOR PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, OR LOSS OF

BUYER’S USE OR OPERATION OF RIG AFTER THE DELIVERY DATE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY MEMBER OF SELLER’S GROUP OR OTHERS MAY BE WHOLLY, CONCURRENTLY, OR SOLELY NEGLIGENT OR OTHERWISE AT FAULT (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO A

2.4 In the event Seller’s costs increase more than 3% during

 performance of this Contract due to events beyond its reasonable control including, but not limited to,
changes in law or regulations, exchange rate fluctuations, or changes in the prices of raw materials from the date of Quote, Seller shall submit evidence of the increase and Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the increased costs. Seller shall have the
right to submit evidence of escalation without regard to the 3% threshold, if Buyer delays execution of this Contract or work on Rig for a total of more than 20 days in the aggregate. 
 2.5 Buyer and Seller agree that, in addition to the payment of the Sales Price, Buyer shall be entitled to the payment of a Contingent Bonus, calculated and payable subject to and in accordance with the
terms of Annex I hereto. 
  

	3.	Delivery 

 3.1 Date: EXW Delivery Date
shall be as listed in Exhibit B (“Delivery Date”). 
 3.2 Risk of Loss: Risk of loss of Rig transfers to Buyer upon
delivery of Rig to Buyer or Buyer’s designated carrier or other representative in accordance with the provisions of §3.3; provided, however, that title to Rig shall not pass from Seller to Buyer until the Sales Price is paid in full.

 3.3 Delivery: Delivery of Rig shall be EXW, not packed for export. 
 3.4 Notice of Completion and Inspection: Seller shall provide Buyer with 30 days prior notice of the Rig’s expected completion date (“Completion Date”), and Buyer shall have 10 days
after Completion Date (meaning the date on which Rig is ready for delivery to the carrier in disassembled form) to inspect and accept Rig or to raise objections that Rig, in whole or in part, does not meet Technical Specifications (as defined in
§5.1). If Buyer fails to raise objections in writing during the inspection period, Rig is deemed accepted and delivery is deemed to have occurred. If Buyer timely raises an objection, §3.7 will apply to corrections. Buyer shall accept the
scope of supply pursuant to Exhibit D. 
 3.5 Testing: Incorporated into Technical Specifications (as defined in §5.1) is the
protocol of components testing for Rig, and Buyer shall have the right to have a representative present at any testing.

Seller shall have a reasonable period of time to correct any defect, and Completion Date shall be delayed to reflect the new Completion Date, if applicable. Buyer will be entitled to inspect any correction work and to request further testing and/or
further work to remedy defects as may be necessary until Rig meets Technical Specifications. Seller shall be responsible for all costs of testing and any necessary cures.

	7.	Packing/Shipping 

 7.1 Buyer shall engage
a third-party contractor responsible for packing all Rig in accordance with Buyer’s requirements.

	8.	Warranty of Workmanship and Materials 

8.1 New equipment manufactured by Seller is warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship and to conform to the specifications contained
herein for a period of 12 months from Delivery Date or 18 months from the Completion Date, whichever period expires first, provided Buyer subjects the new equipment to the operating conditions specified by Buyer when the order is placed and in
accordance with Seller’s operating and maintenance instructions, if any, and storage requirements, if any. Remanufactured equipment provided by Seller is warranted for 12 months from Completion Date. THIS IS SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE
WARRANTY. If a defect in Rig appears within a designated warranty period, and Buyer has given written notice within such warranty period (or 30 days after expiration of such warranty period in the event a defect in Rig appears within 30 days of
expiration of such warranty period), Seller will promptly repair or replace the part, at Seller’s option, by shipping a similar part FOB shipping point or, at Seller’s option, refund an equitable portion of the Sales Price. Seller may
require the return of the defective part within 60 days of failure to a designated Seller location, transportation prepaid to establish Buyer’s claim. No allowance will be made for repairs undertaken without Seller’s prior written consent.
This warranty applies only to equipment manufactured by Seller and excludes standard equipment maintenance items, hoses, and expendables. Any descriptions of equipment, drawings, specifications, and any samples, models, bulletins, or similar
material, used in connection with this sale are for the sole purpose of identifying equipment and are not to be construed as an express warranty that Rig will conform to the description. Any field advisory or installation support is advisory only.
EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY PROVIDED ABOVE, THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES AND NONE SHALL BE IMPLIED IN LAW OR OTHERWISE INCLUDING THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, CONFORMITY TO MODELS OR SAMPLES, DILIGENCE, AND
WORKMANLIKE SERVICE. SELLER’S WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS AND PURCHASER’S REMEDIES ARE SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY AS STATED IN THIS ARTICLE 8. Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for breach of warranty under this Article 8, whether based
upon warranty, contract or tort, including negligence, will be to proceed under this warranty. All liability of Seller shall terminate 12 months from Delivery Date or 18 months from the Completion Date, whichever period expires first. 

8.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of §8.1, the Warranty shall not apply to any part of Rig that: 

 

	a.	has been altered or repaired by anyone other than Seller or Seller’s duly authorized representative; 

 

	b.	has been used or maintained other than in accordance with Documentation; 

  

	c.	has been misused or damaged due to the unreasonable use, negligence, or accident of Buyer, Buyer’s customer, or any other person or entity;

  

	d.	has been unreasonably used by Buyer, Buyer’s customer, or any other person or entity after any person or entity knew or should have known of the defect; or

  

	e.	is considered expendable in nature and expires as a result of normal wear and tear in the use of Rig.

 

  
 Domestic Drilling Rig
Contract (DRC 04-2010) 

 8.3 To the extent that Seller has received from the manufacturer thereof a warranty with term and scope
similar to the warranties provided to Seller herein, and such warranties are assignable from Seller to Buyer, any portion of Rig sold to Buyer pursuant to this Contract but not manufactured by Seller is not warranted to any extent by Seller, but
Seller shall assign to Buyer, without recourse, any warranties furnished to Seller by the vendors or manufacturers of that equipment to the extent any warranties are assignable by Seller. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in any resulting dispute
Buyer may have with any vendors or manufacturers, provided Seller shall not be obligated to incur any costs or initiate any litigation. 
 8.4
Seller’s liability for any breach of Warranty shall be limited to: 
  

	a.	causing Rig to perform in accordance with this Contract and Technical Specifications by repairing or replacing (at Seller’s option) any defective Rig; or

  

	b.	reimbursing Buyer for the cost of repair or replacement in accordance with the provisions of §8.6. 

8.5 If Seller advises Buyer that Seller is able to perform the warranty work, as described in §8.4, Buyer or owner/operator is obligated to allow
the warranty work to be performed by Seller at Seller’s cost. In the event Seller determines that the repair or replacement is not a valid warranty claim, Buyer or owner/operator shall be charged for the parts, labor, and other trip expenses,
including per diem rates where applicable, at Seller’s then current published rates, subject to Buyer’s right to contest the warranty determination in accordance with Article 11. 
 8.6 In the event Seller advises Buyer or the owner/operator that Seller is unable to perform the warranty work, as described in §8.4, Buyer or owner/operator may elect to cause the necessary warranty
repairs or replacements to be made by a third party. In this event, Seller’s sole obligation shall be to reimburse Buyer for the reasonable costs incurred by Buyer for the repairs or replacements. If Buyer elects to proceed under the provisions
of this §8.6, Buyer shall, as soon as possible (but in any event prior to the commencement of the repairs or replacements), notify Seller of the time, place, and estimated cost of the repairs or replacements. Seller shall have the right to
verify, at its sole cost and expense, by its own representative, the nature and extent of the defects complained of prior to the time that the repairs or replacements are made, and if, in fact, no breach of the warranty has occurred, Buyer shall pay
to Seller a per diem fee equal to Seller’s then current labor rate schedule and the reasonable expenses incurred by the representative, subject to Buyer’s right to contest the warranty determination in accordance with Article 11. Seller
does not warrant the work of others who conduct repairs or replacements. 
 8.7 The remedies provided above for breach of the warranty are
exclusive. In no event shall the obligation of Seller to repair or replace (or to reimburse Buyer for the cost of repairing or replacing) defective parts be construed to require Seller to repair or replace (or to reimburse Buyer for the cost of
repairing or replacing) more than the original purchase price of the part that is found to be defective. Rig, as a whole,

 
shall not be construed to be a “part” for the purposes of the preceding sentence and this Contract. 
 8.8 Seller shall have no obligation or liability for any breach of the warranty unless (a) the date of discovery of the defect or failure of Rig to perform in accordance with this Contract or
Technical Specifications was prior to the expiration of the designated warranty period set forth in §8.1 and (b) Buyer shall have provided Seller with written notice of the defect or failure within 30 days of discovery. 

8.9 Buyer represents that it reviewed Technical Specifications and is satisfied that Rig meets its operating requirements. 

8.10 Seller offers no warranties for structural design or operating performance of Rig manufactured pursuant to drawings, designs, or specifications of
Buyer or a third party acting for Buyer. 
 8.11 Seller may subcontract all orders. 

 

	9.	Limitations of Liability

Buyer nor Seller shall be liable for any special, indirect, speculative or consequential damages of any type or character (including, but not limited to, loss of profit, use, or production) arising from or related in any way to this Contract or its
performance. 
 9.2 To the full extent of applicable law and not specifically found elsewhere in this Contract, Seller’s total liability,
in the aggregate, to Buyer or any entity claiming by, through, or under Buyer for any Claims from any cause or causes including, but not limited to, any breach of contract or warranty or negligence or strict liability shall not exceed the Sales
Price of Rig provided by Seller.

Form of Transition Services Agreement 

 TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT 

THIS TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of
                 (the “Effective Date”), by and between INDEPENDENCE CONTRACT DRILLING, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”) and GLOBAL ENERGY SERVICES OPERATING, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GES”). The Company and GES may hereinafter be referred to together as the “Parties” and
individually as a “Party”. 
 RECITALS: 

WHEREAS, The Company and GES, among others, have entered that certain Asset Contribution and Share Subscription Agreement (the
“Contribution Agreement”) dated as of November 23, 2011 providing for GES to contribute the GES Contributed Assets (all capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in the
Contribution Agreement); and 
 WHEREAS, during the Transition Period (as defined herein), GES will require the use of a portion
of the Real Estate, certain services provided by the Company while it establishes operations at a new location, and access to the Company’s information technology system (“IT System”) to extract information that is unrelated to
the post-Closing operations of the Company; and 
 WHEREAS, during the Transition Period, the Company will require certain
services provided by GES; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company is willing to provide GES (i) access to and use of a portion of the
Real Estate and (ii) those certain services contemplated by this Agreement during the Transition Period; and 
 WHEREAS,
GES is willing to provide the Company with those certain services contemplated by this Agreement during the Transition Period; 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 
 1.
Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on the Closing Date and shall continue for a period ending on the last day of the six (6) month period commencing on the Closing Date (the “Transition Period”),
subject, however, to earlier termination in accordance with the provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party shall have the right to extend the Transition Period for an additional ninety (90) days by
(i) providing written notice to the other Party at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the initial term of the Transition Period or (ii) extending the term of the Lease (as defined herein) in accordance with its terms.

 2. Use of the Real Estate. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and GES shall enter
into a lease agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as 

 
Exhibit A (the “Lease”), with customary terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to both Parties, pursuant to which the Company shall lease to GES one-half (1/2)
of the portion of the Real Estate commonly referred to as “Building 5”, substantially all of the shop space in the portion of the Real Estate commonly referred to as “Building 3” and a portion of the Real Estate commonly referred
to as the “Yard”. Subject to the terms of the Lease, the use and occupancy of the Real Estate by GES will not unreasonably interfere with or prevent the use and occupancy of the Real Estate by the Company for the purposes and in the manner
that the Real Estate was previously used and occupied by GES in connection with the operation of the Business. 
 3. Shared
Services. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company and GES shall share certain services during the Transition Period, as further listed on Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Shared
Services”). From time to time, the Parties may mutually agree to include additional services to be shared upon mutually agreeable terms and conditions, and may amend Exhibit B accordingly. 

4. Transition Services Provided by the Company. During the Transition Period, the Company shall provide GES with certain services
as follows: 
 4.1 Company Transition Services. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company shall
provide those certain Shared Services required to support the business of GES and its affiliates, Southwest Oilfield Products, Inc. and SWOP Acquisition, LLC d/b/a GES Well Servicing Systems (collectively, the “GES Post-Closing
Business”), during the Transition Period in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices (collectively, the “Company Transition Services”) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such
Company Transition Services to ensure uninterrupted continuity of the GES Post-Closing Business. Except as specifically set forth herein or as otherwise set forth in the Contribution Agreement, the Company shall have no responsibility or liability
for the operation of the GES Post-Closing Business. 
 4.2 Performance. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Company shall provide the Company Transition Services, to the extent practicable, in the same manner in which such services were provided by GES to the GES Post-Closing Business prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Parties acknowledge that business conditions may require adjustments to the manner in which the Company provides the Company Transition Services in order to achieve continuity of the GES Post-Closing Business during the Transition Period.

 4.3 Company Transition Services Involving IT System. The Company acknowledges that certain proprietary information
owned by GES that is unrelated to the post-Closing operations of the Company is stored on the Company’s IT System, which is being transferred to the Company in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, including, without limitation, the engineering database of GES, the website server of GES and QSI, Traverse and AutoCAD programs and files (collectively, “GES IT”). The Company shall
provide Michael Stansberry (the “GES Representative”), and certain other representatives of GES designated by the GES Representative and approved by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed), with sufficient access to the Company’s IT System, 

  
 2 

 
and provide assistance with the efforts of GES to (i) extract the GES IT, (ii) transfer the business records of GES from the Company’s IT System to the information technology
system of GES and (iii) permit the GES Post-Closing Business to be conducted consistent with past practice in the ordinary course of business prior to the Closing Date. Nevertheless, each of GES and the Company agree that the Company’s IT
System may contain sensitive or proprietary information, or may be subject to obligations of confidentiality with third Parties, in which case the Company agrees to provide access to the extent reasonably practicable without implicating or
jeopardizing any of the foregoing concerns or issues. The Company reserves the right to have representatives physically present to monitor and supervise any access to the Company’s IT System. GES agrees to promptly, but in no event later than
thirty (30) days after its receipt of a written invoice from the Company, reimburse Company for any out of pocket costs associated with the these efforts. 
 4.4 Warranty Claim Services. In addition to the Company Transition Services, the Company shall provide all services required to repair or otherwise address any and all warranty claims related to
the GES Contributed Assets that arise from the Business prior to the Closing Date (“Warranty Claim Services”). The Company shall perform the Warranty Claim Services, to the extent practicable, in the same manner in which such
services were provided by GES to the Business prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, GES shall reimburse the Company for any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such
Warranty Claim Services within thirty (30) days of its receipt of a written invoice from the Company for such costs and expenses, subject to Section 6.3. 
 4.5 Limitation of Liability. Except in the case of bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Company, the Company’s sole liability and GES’s sole remedy for any breach of the
Company’s obligation to provide Company Transition Services, the Warranty Claim Services or any obligations of the Company with respect to GES IT, in each case in accordance with this Section 4, shall be for the Company to perform
or re-perform such Company Transition Services at no cost to GES.

Transition Period, GES shall provide the Company with certain services as follows: 
 5.1 GES Transition Services.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, GES shall provide to the Company those certain Shared Services required to support the Business during the Transition Period in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices
(collectively, the “GES Transition Services”) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such GES Transition Services to ensure uninterrupted continuity of the Business. Except as specifically set forth herein or as
otherwise set forth in the Contribution Agreement, GES shall have no responsibility or liability for the operation of the Business. 
 5.2 Performance. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, GES shall provide the GES Transition Services, to the extent practicable, in the same manner in which such services were
provided by GES to the Business prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that business conditions may require adjustments to the manner in which the GES provides the GES Transition Services in order to
achieve continuity of the Business during the Transition Period. 

  
 3 

 5.3 Contract Management Services. To the extent that GES is unable to contribute or
assign on the Closing Date any contracts or agreements that are among the GES Contributed Assets, GES shall use all reasonable efforts to maintain such contracts and agreements in the same manner as prior to the Closing Date and shall cooperate with
the Company in its efforts to transfer such contracts and agreements to the Company (the “Contract Management Services”). Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company shall reimburse GES for any and all costs
and expenses incurred by GES in connection with such Contract Management Services within thirty (30) days of its receipt of a written invoice from GES for such costs and expenses, subject to Section 6.3. 

5.4 Limitation of Liability. Except in the case of bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of GES, GES’s sole liability

Company.

the Company the percentage share for the applicable service as set forth in the column titled “Percentage GES Share” on Exhibit B attached hereto; provided, however, to the extent

hereto; provided, however, to the extent Exhibit B designates that the costs and expenses related to a Shared Service are calculated “Hourly By Job”, the Company shall pay to GES all of the costs and
expenses incurred for each specific job performed by GES. Any payments made by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be made within no more than fifteen (15) days after the date of receipt by the Company of GES’s invoice.

than once during the Transition Period, to audit the books and records of the other Party at any time during normal business hours; provided that the Party requesting such audit shall provide at least five (5) days prior written notice

reasonable costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) arising from or relating to the actions of the Company (to the extent such costs and expenses are incurred in accordance with the terms hereof) in connection with the provision of the
Company Transition Services, the Warranty Claim Services or any obligations of the Company with respect to GES IT, except relating to any bad faith or willful misconduct by the Company.

 13.4 Amendments. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived only by an instrument in writing signed by
the Party against which enforcement of such amendment or waiver is sought. Any waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement or any breach hereof shall not operate as a waiver of any other such term, condition or breach, and no failure to

enforceability and to give effect to the original intent of the Parties to the extent possible.

 EXHIBIT F 

Terms of the Registration Rights Agreement 

 EXHIBIT F 

Terms of the Registration Rights Agreement 
 1. Form of Agreement: Subject to the descriptions and other provisions summarized below, the form of the Registration Rights Agreement to be entered into by the Company with holders of GES Shares
and RAC Shares (each a “Holder”) will be substantially similar to the terms of a registration rights agreement to be entered into between the Company and FBR Capital Markets & Co. (“FBR”) for the benefit of
FBR and the purchasers of shares of common stock of the Company to be initially resold by FBR to qualified institutional buyers (the “144A Investors”) in the Rule 144A Offering. 

2. Demand Registrations: 

Number of demand registrations: Three in aggregate, one to GES and two to RAC, which may be assigned to affiliates of 4D and Lime Rock
(who will become Holders for purposes of the Registration Rights Agreement) and may be exercised at any time after the first anniversary of the effective date of the shelf registration statement for the 144A Investors or initial public offering of
Independence. 
 Intervals between demand registrations or shelf takedowns: One year unless otherwise agreed by the Company.

 Registration will be deemed to be a demand registration if the registration statement becomes effective (unless it does not
remain effective for at least 90 days), unless the Company fails to satisfy any underwriters’ closing conditions or all shares requested to be registered under such registration statement are not registered. 

The Holder or Holders requesting registration will select the underwriters, subject to any contractual obligations the Company has under
its advisory agreement with FBR. 
 3. Piggyback Registrations. 
 Holders will be entitled to an initial piggyback registration under any shelf registration statement filed on behalf of the 144A Investors, subject to any disproportionate cutback in the number of such
Holders’ shares registered under such shelf registration statement in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. 
 Further piggyback registrations by the Holders will be unlimited, subject to any disproportionate cutback in the number of such Holders’ shares registered under such shelf registration statement(s)
in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. 
 The priority of any Holder in any cutback described above
will be behind the Company and behind the 144A Investors for any initial public offering or other underwritten offering of the shares of the common stock of the Company. 

 4. Company Deferral Rights. 
 The Company will have the right to defer a registration or takedown of a shelf registration for up to 60 days in any 12-month period for material non-public events or if the Company is conducting or is
about to conduct an offering. 
 5. Expenses. 
 The Company will pay the costs of registration, consents, “comfort letter” and any Company counsel opinions. Other expenses are Holder expenses (selling Holder’s legal expenses, any
“blue sky” registration and related expenses and commissions or spreads paid to underwriters, dealers or other agents on such Holder’s shares). 
 6. Lockup Agreements. 
 Each Holder will agree to 180-day lock-up periods
pursuant to the purchase/placement agent agreement between the Company and FBR. 
 Each Holder will agree not to effect any
public sale or distribution of equity securities of the Company (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities), including under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, during the period that begins 10 days prior to and ends 60 days after
any Holder registration or sale or offering by the Company. 
 7. Suspension of Offering. 

Upon notice, each Holder will suspend its use of any prospectus/registration statement and any distribution of shares of common stock of
the Company until the Company has cured any misstatement or omission. 
 8. Termination. 

Registration rights will terminate at the earlier of (a) seven years from the closing date of the initial public offering by the
Company or, (b) with respect to any Holder, the date that all registrable securities held by such Holder may be sold in a three-month period without registration pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. 

9. Indemnification. 
 The
Company will agree to customary indemnities, except for information furnished by any Holder for inclusion in any registration statement or related document, in which case such Holder will indemnify the Company.
