     This Settlement Agreement and Release of Claims (“Settlement Agreement”) is entered into on
this 3rd day of April, 2009 (“Effective Date”), by and between Kevin P. Collins (“Collins”) and Key
Energy Services, Inc. (“Key”).

     WHEREAS, on or about July 1, 1996, Key granted 50,000 stock options to Collins, with an
exercise price of $8.3125 per share and an expiration date of July 1, 2006, and on or about April
16, 1997, Key granted 20,000 stock options to Collins, with an exercise price of $13.25 per share
and an expiration date of April 16, 2007 (collectively referred to as the “70,000 Options”);

     WHEREAS, in March of 2004, Key announced that it would not be able to complete its Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) 10-K report on a timely basis due to problems in the accounting for
fixed assets and as a result, Key lost its registration statement and certain trading restrictions
were immediately imposed upon it;

     WHEREAS, on or about April 8, 2004, Key advised all option holders, including Collins, that
because Key did not have an effective registration with the SEC, it could not allow the exercise of
stock options;

     WHEREAS, option holders were unable to exercise stock options from April 8, 2004 until
September, 26, 2007; and

     WHEREAS, the 70,000 Options expired before Collins was able to exercise.

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and mutual promises and mutual covenants
contained herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally
bound, the parties agree as follows:

 

 

     1. Consideration. Within ten (10) business days after the Effective Date, Key shall
pay to Collins the total sum of $194,973.75 (the “Settlement Payment”). Payment shall be made by
[INSERT PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS].

     2. Release. Upon execution of this Settlement Agreement and payment of the Settlement
Payment, Collins, individually and on behalf of his spouse, heirs, beneficiaries, agents, estates,
executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and anyone else who
claims rights against Key through or as a result of any relationship with Collins, fully, finally
and forever releases, discharges and covenants not to sue Key, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliated
companies, partners and joint venturers, their respective predecessors, successors,
successors-in-interest and assigns, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
representatives, insurers and attorneys of any of the foregoing from any and all claims, demands
and suits, whether known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, suspected or unsuspected, regardless
of the legal theory, existing now or arising in the future related to the 70,000 Options, but only
with respect to or by reason of any event, known or unknown, which occurred prior to the Effective
Date of this Settlement Agreement.

     3. No Admission of Liability. This Settlement Agreement represents the settlement of
disputed claims and does not constitute and shall not be construed as an admission of liability or
of wrongdoing by either party.

     4. Taxes. Collins understands and agrees that he is fully responsible for all tax
obligations, if any, on any consideration or payment made pursuant to this Settlement Agreement and
that he exclusively shall be liable for the payment of any and all federal, state and local taxes
which may be determined to be due as a result of any consideration or payment made pursuant to this
Settlement Agreement. Collins further agrees to fully indemnify and hold harmless Key

attorneys, have made any promise, representation or warranty, express or implied regarding the tax
consequences of any consideration or payment made to Collins pursuant to this Settlement Agreement.

which is hereby deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
