to the Company thereof: (A) the Executive’s principal office location is moved to, and continues to be, a location more than
fifty (50) miles from its current location as of the Effective Date (it being understood that travel shall not be considered a
move or relocation); (B) Executive’s position, powers, duties and responsibilities under Section 2 above are and continue
to be materially reduced without her written agreement, or (C) her compensation and benefits payable are and continue to be eliminated
or materially reduced without her written agreement. Unless the Executive gives the Company a written notice setting forth the
basis of the occurrence of the Good Reason event in reasonable detail within ninety (90) days of the Executive’s knowledge

Reason, such event will cease to be an event constituting Good Reason.

Termination Without Cause; Termination for Good Reason. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment
hereunder at any time without Cause, and the Executive may terminate her employment hereunder at any time for Good Reason. In such
event, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum payment equal to the Termination Amount. The lump sum payment shall be

signs a waiver and release agreement in the form provided by the Company and such waiver and release becomes effective and irrevocable
in its entirety prior to such date. If the waiver and release does not become effective and irrevocable on or prior to the payment
date set forth in the preceding sentence, the Company shall have no further obligations pursuant to Sections 4(e) or 4(g).

 

    4

     

    

 

(f)      
Change of Control.

 

(i)                
If a Change of Control occurs during the Employment Period Executive’s employment shall be terminated, and the Company
shall pay to the Executive a lump sum amount equal to the Termination Amount; provided that the Termination Amount shall be calculated
using the rates in effect on the Change of Control Date. The lump sum payment shall be made within thirty (30) days following the
Change of Control Date without any action by the Executive. For purposes of determining the Company’s obligations under this
Section 4(f), the date on which a Change of Control is effective shall be referred to as the “Change of Control Date.”

 

(ii)              
For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall mean a “change in control event”
within the meaning of the default rules under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations
and guidance promulgated thereunder (Section 409A). The obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 4(f)
shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the Executive’s employment or any resignation of such employment by the
Executive pursuant to this Section 4(f).

 

(g)     
Benefit Continuation. If the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Sections 4(c), 4(e) or 4(f),

benefit plans available to the Company’s executive officers on similar terms and conditions as active executives, from the
Termination Date until the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Termination Date; provided, however, that
the continuation of such benefits shall be subject to the respective terms of the applicable plan, in effect from time to time,
and the timely payment by the Executive of her applicable share of the applicable premiums in effect from time to time and, except
with respect to a termination of employment pursuant to Section 4(f), that the Executive signs a waiver and release agreement in
the form provided by the Company and such waiver and release becomes effective and irrevocable in its entirety. The benefit continuation
provided pursuant to this Section 4(g) shall satisfy the Company’s obligation to provide continuation coverage under COBRA.
To the extent that reimbursable medical and dental care expenses constitute deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A,
the Company shall reimburse the medical and dental care expenses as soon as practicable consistent with the Company’s practice,
but in no event later than the last day of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which such expenses are incurred.
This is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any retirement health benefit program to which the Executive may otherwise be entitled.

		12.	Section 409A.

 

(a)     
If any amounts that become due under Section 4 of this Agreement constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation”
within the meaning of Section 409A, payment of such amounts shall not commence until the Executive incurs a “Separation from
Service” (as defined in Section 12(c), below) if and only if necessary to avoid accelerated taxation or tax penalties in
respect of such amounts.

 

(b)     
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is a “Specified Employee”
(as defined in Section 12(c), below) she shall not be entitled to any payments upon a Separation from Service until the earlier

interest and penalties under Section 409A, and/or (iii) maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the

not be subject to interest and penalties under Section 409A.

year.

or the Company’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision hereof or any other provision of this Agreement
or the failure to assert any right that the Executive or the Company may have hereunder, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement. Similarly, the waiver by any party hereto of a breach
of any provision of this Agreement by the other party will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach
by such other party.

hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement may be assigned by the Company. The Executive

		(i)	I will promptly disclose and describe
to the Company all Inventions which I may solely or jointly conceive, develop, or reduce to practice during the Agreement Period (i)
which relate, at the time of conception, development or reduction to practice of the Invention, to the Company’s business
or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, (ii) which were developed, in whole or in part, on the Company’s
time or with the use of any of the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities or Trade Secrets, or (iii) which resulted from
any work I performed for the Company (the “Company Inventions”). I assign all my right, title and interest worldwide
in the Company Inventions and in all intellectual property rights based upon the Company Inventions. However, I do not assign or
agree to assign any Inventions relating in any way to the Company business or demonstrably anticipated research and development
which were made by me prior to my employment, consultancy, and/or tenure as an independent contractor with the Company, which Inventions,
if any, are identified on Appendix “A” to this Agreement. Appendix “A” contains no confidential information.
I have no rights in any Inventions other than the inventions specified in Appendix “A”. If no such list is attached,
I have no such Inventions or I grant an irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to the Company to make, use
and sell Inventions developed by me prior to my employment, consultancy, and/or tenure as an independent contractor with the Company.

  

		(ii)	I recognize that Inventions relating to my activities while working for the Company and conceived
or made by me, along or with others, within one (1) year after termination of the Agreement Period may have been conceived in significant
part while I was retained by the Company. Accordingly, I agree that such Inventions shall be presumed to have been conceived during
my employment, consultancy, and/or tenure as an independent contractor with the Company and assign such Inventions to the Company
as a Company Invention unless and until I have established the contrary. I agree to disclose promptly in writing to the Company
all Inventions made or conceived by me for one (1) year after the Agreement Period, whether or not I believe such Inventions are
subject to this Agreement, to permit a determination by the Company as to whether or not the Inventions should be the property
of the Company. Any such information will be received in confidence by the Company.

 

		3.3	Nonassignable Inventions. This Agreement does not apply to an invention which qualifies
fully as a nonassignable invention under the laws of the State of Florida.

 

		4.	Trade Secrets

 

4.1       Use
and Return of Proprietary Information and Trade Secrets:

 

		(i)	I agree that under no circumstance and at no time shall any of the Proprietary Information and
Trade Secrets be taken from the Company’s premises unless critical to the performance of my duties as an employee, consultant
or independent contractor, as applicable, during the 

 

    4

     

    

 

			Agreement Period and that under no circumstances and at no time shall any of the Proprietary Information and Trade Secrets be duplicated, in whole or in part, without the express written permission of the Company, which permission may be granted or denied in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion;

 

		(ii)	I agree that, upon termination of my employment (if applicable) and/or tenure as an independent
contractor with the Company for any reason (regardless of whether or not the Company retains me as a consultant) or at any other
time upon the Company’s request, I shall return to Company, without retaining any copies, all Proprietary Information and
Trade Secrets, as well as all other Company’s documents and other materials, which are in my possession regardless of the
form in which any such materials are kept;

 

		(iii)	I covenant and agree that all right, title and interest in any Proprietary Information and Trade
Secrets shall be and shall remain the exclusive property of the Company and shall be and hereby are vested and assigned by me to
the Company. I agree to promptly disclose to the Company all Proprietary information and Trade Secrets developed in whole or in
part by me within the scope of this Agreement. In relation to my employment, consultancy, and/or tenure as an independent contractor
or the performance of this Agreement, I have created or may create certain work product for the Company that may be copyrighted
or copyrightable under the laws of the United States. To the extent that any such work product is created, I will be considered
to have created a Work Made for Hire as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, and the Company shall have the sole right to the copyright.
In the event that any such work product created by me does not qualify as a Work Made for Hire, I hereby assign the copyright and
all rights, throughout the world, in and to the work product to the Company, as provided for in paragraph (v) below. I agree to
turn over to the Company all physical manifestations of the Proprietary Information and Trade Secrets in my possession or under
my control at the request of the Company;

 

		(iv)	I acknowledge that all documents, in hard copy or electronic form, received, created or used by
me in connection with my employment, consultancy, and/or tenure as an independent contractor with the Company are and will remain
the property of the Company. I agree to return all such documents (including all copies) promptly upon the termination of my employment,
consultancy, and/or tenure as an independent contractor, certify that no other documents remain, and agree that, during or after
my employment, consultancy, and/or tenure as an independent contractor, I will not, under any circumstances, without the written
consent of the Company, disclose those documents to anyone outside the Company or use those documents for any purpose other than
the advancement of the Company’s interests;

 

    5

     

    

 

		(v)	I agree to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in every proper
way to secure the Company’s rights in the work product (including Proprietary Information and/or Trade Secrets) and any rights
relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect
thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments which the Company shall
deem proper or necessary in order to apply for, register, obtain, maintain, defend, and enforce such rights and in order to assign
and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns, and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such
work product and any rights relating thereto, and testifying in a suit or other proceeding relating to such work product and any
rights relating thereto. I further agree that my obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in my power to do so,
any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this Agreement. In connection with my execution of this Agreement,
I hereby irrevocably grant to the Company an irrevocable power of attorney designating and appointing the Company’s duly
authorized officer as my agent and attorney in fact, should I become unable because of my mental or physical incapacity or for
any other reason, to sign any documents with respect to any work product including, without limitation, permitting the Company
to apply for or pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or copyright registrations covering such work product.
In connection with such power of attorney, I permit the agent to act for and on my behalf and stead to execute and file any papers,
oaths and to do all other lawfully permitted acts with respect to such work product with the same legal force and effect as if
executed or done by me.

 

		4.2	Defense of Trade Secrets Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, I understand and
acknowledge that the Company has informed me that an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal
or state trade secret law for (i) the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government
official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (ii) the disclosure
of a trade secret that is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding if such filing is made under
seal. Additionally, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, I understand and acknowledge that the Company has informed me that
an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade
secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the individual files any
document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to a court order.

 

		5.	Competitive Employment

 

		5.1	Prohibited Competitive Activities. During the Agreement Period, including any extensions
thereof (as applicable), I agree that I will not directly or indirectly own, manage, work for, provide services to, obtain financial
interest in, control or participate in

			the ownership, management or control
                                         of, or be employed or engaged by or otherwise affiliated or associated as a consultant,

                                         proprietorship, firm, association or other entity that is engaged in any manner in the
                                         business of the Company.

 

 

		5.2	Other Prohibited Activities. I further agree that during the same period I will not directly
or indirectly own, manage, work for, provide services to, obtain financial interest in, control or participate in the ownership,
management or control of, or be employed or engaged by or otherwise affiliated or associated as a consultant, director, agent,
independent contractor or otherwise with any business entity that is not engaged in the business of the Company in any market in
which the Company conducts business or provides services where such other business entity could utilize or gain a business or economic
advantage through the use of Proprietary Information, Trade Secrets, my training by the Company, my relationship with the Company’s
customers, suppliers, vendors, clients or investors or prospective customers, suppliers, vendors, clients or investors or the Company’s
goodwill.

 

		5.3	Permitted Investment Activity. I may make passive investments in publicly traded entities
not to exceed 3% of the outstanding voting securities of such public entity, provided, however, that such investment do not prevent
me from abiding by this Agreement, including this Paragraph 5.

agree to perform, during and after the Agreement Period, all acts deemed necessary or desirable by the Company to permit and assist

in the registration and enforcement of applicable patents and copyrights or other legal proceedings.

 

		8.	No Conflicting Obligations

 

My
performance of this Agreement does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge
or data acquired by me prior to my employment, consultancy, and/or tenure as an independent contractor with the Company. I will
not disclose, induce, or permit the Company to, either directly or indirectly, use, any confidential or proprietary information
or material belonging to any previous employer or other person or entity. I am not a party to any other agreement that will interfere
with my full compliance with this Agreement. I will not enter into any agreement, whether written or oral, conflicting with the
provisions of this Agreement.

to report good faith suspected violations of law to applicable government agencies, including the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission, National Labor Relation Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission
or any other applicable federal, state or local governmental agency, in accordance with the provisions of any “whistleblower”
or similar provisions of local, state or federal law.  You may report such suspected violations of law, even if such action
would require you to share the Company’s Proprietary Information or Trade Secrets with the government agency, provided that
any such Proprietary Information is protected to the maximum extent permissible and any such information constituting Trade Secrets
is filed only under seal in connection with any court proceeding.  Lastly, nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement

Notwithstanding
the termination of the Agreement Period, this Agreement shall survive such termination and continue in accordance with its terms
and conditions. Unless provided otherwise in a written contract with the Company, this Agreement does not in any way restrict my
right or the right of the Company to terminate my employment, consultancy, and/or tenure as an independent contractor at any time,
for any reason or for no reason.

A breach
of any of the promises or agreements contained herein will result in irreparable and continuing damage to the Company for which

and such other relief as may be proper (including monetary damages, if appropriate).

The
waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by me will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any
other or subsequent breach by me.

If
any part of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, that part will be amended to achieve as nearly as possible the same
economic effect as the original provision and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force.

Dear John:

 

The Board of Directors
(the “Board”) of KLX Energy Services Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) has approved your appointment
as Non-Executive Chairman (“Chairman”) of the Board for the period commencing on May 1, 2020 and ending on the
final date of your current Board term or, if earlier, the date of your resignation or removal from the Board (such period, the
 “Term”). During the Term, you shall render such services as are customarily associated with the position of
Chairman and such other services as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably require of you consistent with such position.

 

During the Term, as
compensation for performing your services as Chairman, you shall receive an annual cash retainer equal to $250,000, which retainer
shall be earned on a monthly basis, and paid by the Company on a quarterly basis in arrears not later than the 15th day following
the end of each calendar quarter. Upon termination of the Term for any reason, you shall be paid any earned but unpaid portion
of the retainer for any completed months in the applicable calendar quarter. During the Term, you shall be eligible to receive
annual equity awards under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan or any successor plan thereto that are substantially consistent
with those granted to other non-employee members of the Board, as such equity awards may be determined from time to time by the
Board. During the Term, your outstanding restricted shares shall continue to remain outstanding subject to their terms.

 

During the Term, you
shall be entitled to any rights and benefits pursuant to the Company’s travel policy (including, without limitation, business
use of the Company’s corporate aircraft, provided that you coordinate with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer prior
to any such use) and any other benefits made available to non-employee members of the Board generally, and shall receive reimbursement
for all reasonable and necessary travel, business entertainment, and other out-of-pocket business expenses incurred or expended
by you in connection with the performance of your duties hereunder in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions
of, the Company’s expense reimbursement policy. In addition, you shall be eligible to be indemnified by the Company for any
claim arising out of or in connection with your service as Chairman in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company indemnifies
each of its non-employee members of the Board.

 

You shall at all
times during the Term be treated as an independent contractor and shall be responsible for the payment of all taxes with
respect to all amounts paid to you as compensation for the services provided hereunder. Accordingly, the Company will not
deduct from compensation paid to you any federal, state or local income taxes, disability insurance, social security or other
payroll taxes, payments for unemployment compensation or any other type of withholding.

 

     

     

    

 

This letter (“Letter”)
is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and is intended as
a complete and exclusive statement of the terms and conditions thereof and supersedes and replaces all prior negotiations and agreements
between the parties hereto, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as otherwise expressly set
forth herein, you shall not be eligible for any other compensation or benefits for your services during the Term.

 

This Letter shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to the principles of conflicts of law. This Letter may be amended,
modified or superseded, and any of the terms hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto.
The Company may assign its rights and obligations under this Letter to any successor to all or substantially all of the business
or the assets of the Company (by merger or otherwise). This Letter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of you, the Company,
and each of your and its respective successors, assigns and legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees,
devisees, and legatees, as applicable. None of your rights or obligations may be assigned or transferred by you, other than your
rights to payments hereunder, which may be transferred only by will or operation of law.

 

     

     

    

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF,
the parties have duly executed this Letter as of the date first written above.
