interest next preceding such Interest Payment Date. The Regular Record Date for an Interest Payment Date shall be one Business Day prior to such Interest Payment Date. If an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, interest on this Security
shall be payable on the next day that is a Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, and without any interest or other payment with respect to the delay. “Business Day” shall mean a day,
other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in New York, New York.

payment of interest may be paid by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such Person’s last address as it appears in the Security Register or by wire transfer to such account as may have been designated by such Person. Payment of

 [Reverse of Note] 
 WELLS FARGO & COMPANY 
 MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES K

 Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue 
 Notes due March 29, 2030 
 This Security is one of a duly authorized
issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture dated as of July 21, 1999, as amended or supplemented from time to time (herein called the
“Indenture”), between the Company and Citibank, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are
to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series of the Securities designated as Medium-Term Notes, Series K, of the Company, which series is limited to an aggregate principal amount or face amount, as applicable, of
$25,000,000,000 or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign or composite currencies. The amount payable on the Securities of this series may be determined by reference to the performance of one or more equity-, commodity- or currency-based
indices, exchange traded funds, securities, commodities, currencies, statistical measures of economic or financial performance, or a basket comprised of two or more of the foregoing, or any other market measure or may bear interest at a fixed rate
or a floating rate. The Securities of this series may mature at different times, be redeemable at different times or not at all, be repayable at the option of the Holder at different times or not at all and be denominated in different currencies.

 Article Sixteen of the Indenture shall not apply to this Security. 

The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons and will be either (a) book-entry securities represented by one
or more Global Securities recorded in the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary or (b) certificated securities issued to and registered in the names of, the beneficial owners or their nominees. 

The Company agrees, to the extent permitted by law, not to voluntarily claim the benefits of any laws concerning usurious rates of
interest against a Holder of this Security. 
 Modification and Waivers 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected, acting together as a class. The Indenture also contains 

  
 5 

 
provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding affected by certain provisions of the Indenture, acting together as a
class, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with those provisions of the Indenture. Certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences may be waived under the Indenture by the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

 Defeasance 
 Section 403 and Article Fifteen of the Indenture and the provisions of clause (ii) of Section 401(1)(B) of the Indenture, relating to defeasance at any time of (a) the entire
indebtedness on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and certain Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, shall not apply to this Security. The remaining provisions of
Section 401 of the Indenture shall apply to this Security. 
 Authorized Denominations 

This Security is issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof which is an
integral multiple of $1,000. 
 Repayment upon Exercise of Survivor’s Option 

The Company has agreed to repay beneficial ownership interests in this Security, if requested by the authorized representative of the
beneficial owner of such beneficial ownership interest following the death of the beneficial owner, so long as the beneficial ownership interest in this Security was acquired by the beneficial owner at least six months prior to the request (the
“Survivor’s Option”). 
 Upon the valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option and the proper tender of a
beneficial ownership interest in this Security for repayment, the Company will repay such beneficial ownership interest in this Security, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the deceased beneficial owner’s
beneficial interest in this Security, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repayment. 
 To be valid, the
Survivor’s Option must be exercised by or on behalf of the Person who has authority to act on behalf of a deceased beneficial owner of this Security under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction (including, without limitation, the personal
representative of or the executor of the estate of the deceased beneficial owner or the surviving joint owner with the deceased beneficial owner). 
 A beneficial owner of this Security is a Person who has the right, immediately prior to such Person’s death, to receive the proceeds from the disposition of such beneficial owner’s interest in
this Security, as well as the right to receive the principal amount of the deceased beneficial owner’s interest in this Security plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. 

  
 6 

 The death of a Person holding a beneficial ownership interest in this Security as a joint
tenant or tenant by the entirety with another Person, or as a tenant in common with the deceased holder’s spouse, will be deemed the death of a beneficial owner of that beneficial ownership interest in this Security, and the entire principal
amount of the deceased beneficial owner’s interest in this Security held in this manner will be subject to repayment by the Company upon exercise of the Survivor’s Option. However, the death of a Person holding a beneficial ownership
interest in this Security as tenant in common with a Person other than such deceased holder’s spouse will be deemed the death of a beneficial owner only with respect to such deceased Person’s interest in this Security, and only the
deceased beneficial owner’s percentage interest in that beneficial ownership interest in the principal amount of this Security will be subject to repayment. 
 The death of a Person who, during his or her lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the beneficial ownership interests in this Security will be deemed the death of the beneficial owner of this
Security for purposes of the Survivor’s Option, regardless of whether that beneficial owner was the registered holder of this Security, if the beneficial ownership interest can be established to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent. A
beneficial ownership interest will be deemed to exist in typical cases of nominee ownership, ownership under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, community property, or other joint ownership arrangements between a
husband and wife. In addition, the beneficial ownership interest in this Security will be deemed to exist in custodial and trust arrangements where one Person has all of the beneficial ownership interest in this Security during his or her lifetime.
In the case of a joint trust, the joint tenant rules above will apply to the respective beneficial ownership interests. 
 The
Company has the discretionary right to limit the aggregate principal amount of this Security as to which exercises of the Survivor’s Option will be accepted by the Company from the authorized representative for any individual deceased
beneficial owner of this Security in any calendar year to $250,000. In addition, the Company will not permit the exercise of the Survivor’s Option for any portion of this Security with a principal amount of less than $1,000, and the Company
will not permit the exercise of the Survivor’s Option if such exercise will result in this Security having a principal amount that is not an integral multiple of $1,000. 
 An otherwise valid election to exercise the Survivor’s Option may not be withdrawn. An election to exercise the Survivor’s Option will be accepted in the order that it was received by the Paying
Agent, except for any beneficial ownership interest in this Security the acceptance of which would contravene the limitation described above. Beneficial ownership interests in this Security accepted for repayment through the exercise of the
Survivor’s Option normally will be repaid on the first Interest Payment Date that occurs 20 or more calendar days after the date of the acceptance. Each tendered beneficial ownership interest in this Security that is not accepted in a calendar
year due to the application of the limitation described in the preceding paragraph will be deemed to be tendered in the following calendar year in the order in which all such beneficial interests were originally tendered. If a beneficial ownership
interest in this Security tendered through a valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option is not accepted, the Paying Agent will deliver a notice by first-class mail to the registered holder, at that registered holder’s last known address as
indicated in the Security Register, that states the reason that the beneficial ownership interest in this Security has not been accepted for repayment. 

  
 7 

 Since this Security is a Global Security, DTC, as depository, or its nominee will be treated
as the holder of this Security and will be the only entity that can exercise the Survivor’s Option. To obtain repayment of this Security pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option, the deceased beneficial owner’s authorized
representative must provide the following items to the broker or other entity through which the beneficial interest in this Security is held by the deceased beneficial owner: 

 

	 	•	 	 appropriate evidence satisfactory to the Paying Agent that: 

 

	 	(a)	the deceased was a beneficial owner of this Security at the time of death and his or her interest in this Security was acquired by the deceased beneficial owner at
least six months prior to the request for repayment, 

  

	 	(b)	the death of the beneficial owner has occurred and the date of death, and 

  

	 	(c)	the representative has authority to act on behalf of the deceased beneficial owner; 

 

	 	•	 	 if the beneficial interest in this Security is held by a nominee or trustee of, or custodian for, or other Person in a similar capacity to, the
deceased beneficial owner, a certificate satisfactory to the Paying Agent from the nominee, trustee, custodian or similar Person attesting to the deceased’s beneficial ownership in this Security; 

 

	 	•	 	 a written request for repayment signed by the authorized representative of the deceased beneficial owner with the signature guaranteed by a member firm
of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States; 

 

	 	•	 	 if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement; 

 

	 	•	 	 tax waivers and any other instruments or documents that the Paying Agent reasonably requires in order to establish the validity of the beneficial
ownership in this Security and the claimant’s entitlement to payment; and 

  

	 	•	 	 any additional information the Paying Agent requires to evidence satisfaction of any conditions to the exercise of the Survivor’s Option or to
document beneficial ownership or authority to make the election and to cause the repayment of this Security. 

 In turn, the
broker or other entity will deliver each of these items to the Paying Agent and will certify to the Paying Agent that the broker or other entity represents the deceased beneficial owner. 

The Company retains the right to limit the aggregate principal amount of this Security as to which exercises of the Survivor’s
Option will be accepted by the Company from the authorized representative for any individual deceased beneficial owner in this Security in any calendar year as described above. All other questions regarding the eligibility or validity of any

  
 8 

 
exercise of the Survivor’s Option will be determined by the Paying Agent, in its sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding on all parties. 

The broker or other entity will be responsible for disbursing payments received from the Paying Agent to the authorized representative.
Forms for the exercise of the Survivor’s Option may be obtained from the Paying Agent. 
 Registration of Transfer

 Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Security at the office or agency of the Company in the City
of Minneapolis, Minnesota, a new Security or Securities of this series, with the same terms as this Security, in authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor, as provided in
the Indenture and subject to the limitations provided therein and to the limitations described below, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith. 

This Security is exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form only if (x) the Depositary notifies the Company that it
is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this Security or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a successor depositary is not appointed within
90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, (y) the Company in its sole discretion determines that this Security shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form and notifies the
Trustee thereof or (z) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented hereby has occurred and is continuing. If this Security is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence, it shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities
in registered form, bearing interest at the same rate, having the same date of issuance, Stated Maturity Date and other terms and of authorized denominations aggregating a like amount. 

This Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary
to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor of the Depositary or a nominee of such successor. Except as provided above, owners of beneficial interests in this Global Security will
not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Securities in definitive form and will not be considered the Holders hereof for any purpose under the Indenture. 
 Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered
as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 Obligation of the Company Absolute 
 No reference herein to the
Indenture and no provision of this Security or the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the
coin or currency, herein prescribed, except as otherwise provided in this Security. 

  
 9 

 No Personal Recourse 
 No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Security, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or
any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the
enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and released. 

Defined Terms 

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture unless
otherwise defined in this Security. 
 Governing Law 
 This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

Executive hereby accepts employment by the Company, as the Company’s Vice President and Treasurer, and the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Key Energy Services, Inc. (the “Parent”). The Executive shall have the
responsibilities, duties and authority commensurate with his positions as the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, including without limitation the general supervision and control over, and responsibility for, the overall financial and

material decrease in the responsibilities, importance, scope or dignity of the Executive’s position compared with those of such position as of the Commencement Date, subject, however, to the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer or, in
certain circumstances, the Board. The Executive will report to the Chief Executive Officer or, in certain circumstances, the Board. Executive will, if appointed or elected, serve as an officer or director of the Company, the Parent, subsidiaries or
affiliates (collectively, the “Key Companies”) and perform all duties incident to such offices.

commencing with January 1, 2015, the term of the Executive’s employment hereunder shall be automatically extended for twelve (12) months (unless sooner terminated in accordance with Section 5 hereof) unless either the Executive
or the Company shall have given written notice (in each case, a “Non-Renewal Notice”) to the other that such automatic extension shall not occur, which Non-Renewal Notice shall have been given no later than ninety
(90) days next preceding the relevant Anniversary Date. (The entire period of employment of Executive, until termination in accordance herewith, is referred to hereby as the “Employment Period”). 

(c) The Executive will devote his full time and his best efforts to the business and affairs of the Company, its Parent, and its
subsidiaries; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 1 shall be deemed to prevent or limit the Executive’s right to: (i) make investments in the securities of any publicly-owned corporation; or (ii) make any
other investments with respect to which he is not obligated or required to, and to which he does not in fact, devote managerial efforts that interfere with his fulfillment 
 of his duties hereunder; or (iii) to serve on boards of directors and to serve in such other positions with non-profit and for-profit organizations as to which the Board may from time to time
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Reference is made to Section 7 hereof, which contains limitations on some of the above activities.

will review the Base Salary on a yearly basis following the end of each fiscal year of the Company to determine if an increase is advisable, and the Base Salary may be increased at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer and the Compensation
Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board, taking into account, among other factors, the Executive’s performance and the performance of the Company. 

(b) The Executive shall be eligible to participate in all of the Company’s cash performance compensation plans (collectively, the
“Performance Cash Compensation Plans”) for the Company’s executives providing for the payment of cash bonuses or other cash incentives payable upon the achievement of goals set forth in the Company’s
strategic plan as developed by the Compensation Committee after consultation with the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive, payable in accordance with the provisions thereof. The performance goals for the Performance Cash Compensation Plans
will be based on objective criteria specified in good faith in advance by the Compensation Committee after consultation with the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive. The Executive shall also receive such bonuses other than pursuant to the
Performance Cash Compensation Plans in such amounts and at such times as the Compensation Committee, after consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, in its discretion determines are appropriate to recognize extraordinary performance by the
Executive. 
 (c) The Executive shall be reimbursed by the Company for reasonable travel, lodging, meal, entertainment and other
expenses incurred by him in connection with performing his services hereunder in accordance with the Company’s reimbursement policies from time to time in effect.

Executive and the Chief Executive Officer.

in any fiscal year during which he is employed hereunder for less than the entire year in accordance with the number of days in such fiscal year in which he is so employed) and subject to the Company’s policies on carryovers. The Executive
shall also be entitled to all paid holidays and personal days given by the Company to its senior management. 
 (c) Nothing
herein contained shall preclude the Executive, to the extent he is otherwise eligible, from participation in all group insurance programs or other fringe benefit plans which the Company may from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion make
available generally to its personnel, or for personnel similarly situated, but the Company shall not be required to establish or maintain any such program or plan except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein. 

5. Termination, Change in Control and Reassignment of Duties. 
 (a) Termination by the Company. The Company shall have the right to terminate the Executive’s employment under this Agreement and the Employment Period for Cause (as defined below) at any time
without obligation to make any further payments to the Executive hereunder except the compensation described in Section 5(g) hereof. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(b) hereof, which Section shall apply in the event the Executive
becomes unable to perform his obligations hereunder by reason of Disability (as defined below), the Company shall have the right to terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder and the Employment Period for any reason other than for Cause
(including, without limitation, by giving the Executive a Non-Renewal Notice pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof) only upon at least ninety (90) days prior written notice to him (provided that, in the event the Company gives the Executive a
Non-Renewal Notice pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof, only the 90-day notice period therein provided shall be required). In the event the Company terminates the Executive’s employment hereunder for any reason other than for Disability or
Cause (including, without limitation, by giving the Executive a Non-Renewal Notice pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof), then for the purpose of effecting a transition during the ninety (90) day notice period of the Executive’s management
functions from the Executive to another person or persons, during such period the Company may reassign the Executive’s duties hereunder to another person or other persons. Such reassignment shall not reduce the Company’s obligations
hereunder to make salary, bonus and other payments to the Executive and to provide other benefits to him during the remainder of his employment and, if applicable, following the termination of employment. Notwithstanding a notice of termination that
does not, when made, specify Cause, the Company may, during the 90 day notice period (the “Cause Review Period”), convert the termination to a Cause termination, subject to the procedural safeguards specified in the next
paragraph. 

  
 3 

 As used in this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean
(i) the failure by the Executive to substantially perform the major functions of his position in a satisfactory manner (other than (A) any such failure resulting from his incapacity due to physical or mental illness or physical injury or
(B) any such actual or anticipated failure after the issuance of a notice of termination by the Executive for Good Reason (as defined below)), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered by the Company to the Executive that
specifically identifies the manner in which the Company believes the Executive has not substantially performed his duties; or (ii) the engaging by the Executive in misconduct that is, or is reasonably likely to be, materially injurious to the
Company, monetarily or otherwise; or (iii) the Executive’s conviction or plea of guilty or no contest to a felony (or to a felony charge reduced to misdemeanor), or, with respect to his employment, to any misdemeanor (other than a traffic
violation) or, with respect to his employment, knowing violation of any federal or state securities or tax laws; or (iv) willful violation of the Key Energy Services, Inc. Policy Prohibiting Insider Trading and Unauthorized Disclosure of
Information and the Supplemental Insider Trading Policy, as amended from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive’s employment shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless (A) reasonable notice shall have
been given to him setting forth in detail the reasons for the Company’s intention to terminate for Cause, and if such termination is pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above and any damage to the Company is curable, only if Executive has
been provided a period of ten (10) business days from receipt of such notice to cease the actions or inactions and otherwise cure such damage, and he has not done so (provided that only one such period needs to be provided in any period of
three (3) consecutive months); (B) an opportunity shall have been provided for the Executive to be heard before the Board; and (C) if such termination is pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, delivery shall have been made to
the Executive of a notice of termination from the Board finding that in the good faith opinion of a majority of the Board (excluding the Executive, if applicable) he was guilty of conduct set forth in clause (i) or (ii) above. 

(b) Termination upon Disability and Temporary Reassignment of Duties Due to Disability; Termination upon Death  

(i) If the Executive becomes totally and permanently disabled during the Employment Period so that he is unable to perform his
obligations hereunder by reasons involving physical or mental illness or physical injury for an aggregate of ninety (90) days (whether or not consecutive) during any period of twelve (12) consecutive months during the Employment Period
(“Disability”), then the Executive’s employment hereunder and the Employment Period may be terminated by the Company within sixty (60) days after the expiration of such ninety (90) day period (whether or not
consisting of consecutive days), such termination to be effective ten (10) days after written notice to the Executive. In the event the Company shall give a notice of termination under this Section 5(b)(i), then the Company may reassign
the Executive’s duties hereunder to another person or other persons. Such reassignment shall not reduce the Company’s obligations hereunder to make salary, bonus and other payments to the Executive and to provide other benefits to him
during the remainder of his employment and, if applicable, following the termination of employment. 

  
 4 

 (ii) During any period that the Executive is totally disabled such that he is unable to
perform his obligations hereunder by reason involving physical or mental illness or physical injury, as determined by a physician chosen by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Executive (or his legal representative), the Company may
reassign the Executive’s duties hereunder to another person or other persons, provided if the Executive shall again be able to perform his obligations hereunder prior to the Company’s termination of the Executive’s employment
hereunder and the Employment Period in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, all such duties shall again be the Executive’s duties. The cost of any examination by such physician shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Executive has been unable to perform his obligations hereunder by reasons involving physical or mental illness or physical injury for an aggregate of ninety (90) days (whether or not consecutive) during any period of twelve
(12) consecutive months during the Employment Period, then a determination by a physician of disability will not be required prior to any such reassignment. Any such reassignment shall not be a termination of employment and in no event shall
such reassignment reduce the Company’s obligation to make salary, bonus and other payments to the Executive and to provide other benefits to him under this Agreement during his employment or, if applicable, following a termination of
employment. 
 (iii) The Executive’s employment hereunder and the Employment Period shall automatically terminate
immediately upon the death of the Executive. 
 (c) Termination by Executive. The Executive’s employment hereunder
and the Employment Period may be terminated by the Executive by giving written notice to the Company as follows: (i) at any time for any reason other than Good Reason (including, without limitation, by giving the Company a Non-Renewal Notice
pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof) by notice of at least ninety (90) days (provided that, in the event the Executive gives the Company a Non-Renewal Notice pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof, only the 90-day notice period therein provided
shall be required); or (ii) at any time for Good Reason, provided that the Executive can only give a notice of resignation for Good Reason in connection with a “Change in Control” of the Parent (as defined in Exhibit B) beginning on
the ninetieth (90th) day after the closing of the transaction or the event constituting a Change in Control. In the event of a termination by the Executive of his employment, the Company may reassign the Executive’s duties hereunder to
another person or other persons. 

  
 5 

 As used herein, “Good Reason” shall mean the continued existence
from the date of the notice from the Executive referred to below until after the expiration of the Cure Period of any one or more of only the following circumstances or conditions: 

(i) A material diminution in the Executive’s Base Compensation, authority, duties or responsibilities, 

(ii) A material diminution in the authority, duties or responsibilities of a supervisor to whom the Executive reports
(including a requirement that the Executive report to another individual rather than to the Board of Directors of the Company), 
 (iii) A material diminution in the budget over which the Executive retains authority, 
 (iv) A material change in the geographic location at which the Executive must perform the services required by this Agreement; or 

(v) Any other action or inaction by the Company that constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. 

The existence of any circumstance or condition shall not constitute Good Reason unless (i) the Executive provided notice to the Company of
the existence of the circumstance or conditions within 90 days of the initial existence of such circumstance or condition, and (ii) the circumstance or condition continued to exist after the last day of the Cure Period. For purposes of this
Section 5(c), the term “Cure Period” means the period of 30 consecutive days beginning on the date notice was given by the Executive of the existence of the circumstance or condition alleged to be Good Reason. 

(d) Severance Compensation. 
 (i) Termination by Executive for Good Reason or by the Company for Non Renewal or Other than for Cause. In the event the Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated (A) by the
Executive for Good Reason or (B) by the Company other than for Cause, for Disability, or upon Notice of Non-Renewal, the Executive shall be entitled, in addition to the other compensation and benefits herein provided for, to severance
compensation in an aggregate amount equal to two (2) times his Base Salary at the rate in effect on the termination date, (but no less than the annual Base Salary specified in Section 2(a)) payable in twenty-four (24) substantially
equal monthly installments commencing at the end of the calendar month in which the termination date occurs. Each monthly installment payment required under this Section 5(d)(i) shall be payable on or about the first day of the month to which
it relates, and the right to any series of separate installment payments under this Section 5(d)(i) shall at all times be a right to a series of separate payments under Treasury Reg. 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii). 

(ii) Termination following Disability. In the event the Executive’s employment should be terminated by the Company as a
result of Disability in accordance with Section 5(b) hereof, then the Executive shall be entitled, in addition to the other compensation and benefits herein provided for, to severance compensation in an aggregate amount equal to one
(1) times his Base Salary at the rate in effect on the termination date, payable in twelve (12) substantially equal monthly installments commencing at the end of the calendar month in which the termination date occurs, reduced by the
amount of any employer-provided disability insurance proceeds actually paid to the Executive or for his benefit during such time period. 

  
 6 

 (iii) If the Executive’s employment is terminated within one (1) year following a
Change in Control of the Parent that is a “change in control event” as defined in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(5) and the Executive is entitled to severance compensation pursuant to Section 5(d)(i) or 5(d)(ii) hereof as a result of
such termination, the severance compensation otherwise payable to the Executive (A) shall be increased by an amount (the “Enhanced Severance Amount”) sufficient, when added to the amount payable under Section 5(d)(i) or 5(d)(ii)
hereof, to cause the total amount payable as the result of such termination to equal three (3) times the Base Salary then in effect plus three (3) times the Executive’s annual target cash bonus as provided in Section 2(b) above
and (B) the Enhanced Severance Amount shall be payable in one lump sum on the effective date of such termination. In the event severance compensation becomes payable in a lump sum pursuant to this Section 5(d)(iii), and if the
Executive’s employment is or has been terminated for Disability, such lump sum shall be reduced by a good faith estimate of the aggregate amount of any disability insurance proceeds which will be actually paid to the Executive or for his
benefit (but only those proceeds from disability insurance provided by the Company to the Executive pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof) during the remaining period over which such severance would otherwise have been paid. 

(iv) Termination for Death. In the event of the Executive’s death during the Employment Period, the Executive’s estate
shall not be entitled to any severance compensation. 
 (v) Termination by Executive other than for Good Reason or by Company
for Cause. In the event of the Executive’s termination by resignation under Section 5(c)(i) (i.e., other than for Good Reason) or by the Company for Cause, the Executive shall not be entitled to any severance under Section 5(d) or
otherwise, any continued benefits under Section 5(f) (other than as required by statute), or any accrued compensation under Section 5(g)(iii) (for prior year bonuses, to the extent specified in that clause). Under the foregoing situations,
the treatment of equity incentives shall be as specified in Section 5(e)(ii), and the Executive shall receive the accrued compensation described in Section 5(g). 
 (vi) Release. Executive agrees that except in the case of a termination resulting from Executive’s death, all payments under Section 5 (d), (e), (f), and (g)(iii) and Section 6 are
conditioned on the Executive’s prior execution and non-revocation of a full release of the Company and its officers, employees, affiliates and subsidiaries for all claims relating to his employment, compensation, and termination and such other
matters as the Company reasonably requests on termination, in a form provided by the Company, which execution shall not occur earlier than the day after termination of the Executive’s employment and not later than 60 days following delivery by
the Company to the Executive of the form for such release; provided, however, that if no form for such release is delivered to the Executive within seven (7) days of the termination of Executive’s employment, this Agreement shall be
applied without regard to this Section 5(d)(vi); and provided further, however, that any Release previously executed under this Section 5(d)(vi) will be null and void if the Company reaches a determination of Cause within the Cause Review
Period. If any amount is payable under this Section 5 because of a separation from service that is not an “involuntary separation from service” as defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(n)(1) or a separation from service which,
pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(n)(2) is entitled to treatment as an “involuntary separation from service” as so defined, and if a form of release is delivered by the Company to the Executive within seven (7) days of such
separation from service, then any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any such amount shall not be payable until the sixtieth day after the date of such separation from service. 

  
 7 

 (vii) For purposes of this Agreement, Executive’s employment will not be considered to
have terminated unless, as a result of a termination, Executive has had a “separation from service” (as that term is defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h)) with the “Key Energy Controlled Group.” The term “Key Energy
Controlled Group” means the group of corporations and trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated) composed of the Company and every entity or other person which together with the Company constitutes a single “service recipient”
(as that term is defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(g)) as the result of the application of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h)(3). 
 (e) Effect of Termination or Change in Control upon Equity-Based Incentives. 
 (i)
In the event the Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated by the Company for any reason other than for Cause or Disability (including, without limitation, by giving the Executive a Non-Renewal Notice pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof),
or in the event the Executive should terminate his employment for Good Reason, then any Equity-Based Incentives held by the Executive which have not vested prior to the effective date of such termination shall immediately vest and shall remain
exercisable until the earlier to occur of (x) the first anniversary of the effective date of such termination and (y) the final stated expiration date of the Equity-Based Incentive. In addition, in the event of such a termination, any
Equity-Based Incentives held by the Executive which have vested prior to the effective date of such termination shall remain exercisable until the earlier to occur of (x) the first anniversary of the effective date of such termination and
(y) the final stated expiration date of the Equity-Based Incentive. 
 (ii) In the event the Executive’s employment
hereunder is terminated by the Company for Cause or is terminated by the Executive other than for Good Reason (including, without limitation, by giving the Company a Non-Renewal Notice pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof), then effective upon the
date such termination is effective, any Equity-Based Incentives which have not vested prior to the effective date of such termination shall be forfeited. Any Equity-Based Incentives held by the Executive entitling the Executive to retain or purchase
securities of the Company which have vested prior to the effective date of such termination shall remain subject to the terms and provisions of the plan and/or the agreement under which they were awarded. 

  
 8 

 (iii) In the event of the Executive’s death while employed by the Company or in the
event that the Executive’s employment should terminate as a result of Disability, then, any Equity-Based Incentives held by the Executive which have not vested prior to the effective date of such termination shall immediately vest and shall
also remain exercisable until the earlier to occur of (x) the first anniversary of the death of the Executive or the effective date of such termination and (y) the final stated expiration date of the Equity-Based Incentives. In addition,
in the event of such death or such a termination, any Equity-Based Incentives held by the Executive which have vested prior to the effective date of such death or termination shall remain exercisable until the earlier to occur of (x) the first
anniversary of the effective date of such death or termination and (y) the final stated expiration date of the Equity-Based Incentives. 
 (iv) In the event of a conflict between the preceding terms and provisions of this Section 5(e) and any other terms and provisions governing any Equity-Based Incentives held (now or in the future) by
the Executive (including without limitation the terms and provisions contained in the agreements and/or plans pursuant to which such Equity-Based Incentives were (or will in the future be) granted), the preceding terms and provisions of this
Section 5(e) shall control; provided, however, that, if an Equity-Based Incentive does not by its terms require any exercise, no requirement of exercise shall be implied from the preceding terms and provisions of this
Section 5(e). 
 (v) Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, the final stated expiration date of an
Equity Based Incentive shall not be extended beyond the tenth anniversary of the date on which such Equity-Based Incentive was granted. 
 (f) Continuation of Benefits. 
 (i) Subject to Section 5(f)(ii)
hereof, in the event that Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated by the Executive for Good Reason or by the Company for Disability or other than for Cause (including, without limitation, by giving the Executive a Non-Renewal Notice
pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof) and not as a result of the death of the Executive, the Executive shall continue to be entitled, at the Company’s expense, to the post-employment benefits under Section 4, if any, that such benefits
provide under their terms for a period of time following the termination date ending on the first to occur of (I) the second anniversary of the termination date, (II) the last date of eligibility under the applicable benefits or (III) the date
on which the Executive commences full-time employment with another employer. The Company will pay the premiums for COBRA health coverage for Executive and his covered family members for the period COBRA provides. At such time as the Company is no
longer required to provide the Executive with life and/or disability insurance, as the case may be, the Executive shall be entitled, at the Executive’s expense, to convert such life and disability insurance, as the case may be, into
individually owned policies, except if and to the extent such conversion is not available from the provider of such insurance. 

(ii) In the event the Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated by the Company within one (1) year of a Change in Control
(other than a termination because of the Executive’s death) or is terminated by the Company other than for Cause in anticipation of a Change in Control, the Company shall pay to the Executive, in lieu of providing the benefits contemplated by
Section 5(f)(i) above, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate reasonable expenses that the Company would incur if it were to provide such benefits for a period of time following the termination date ending on the second anniversary of the
termination date, which amount shall be paid in one lump sum on the date of such termination. 

  
 9 

 (iii) In the event the Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated by reason of
death, the Executive’s spouse and her dependents shall be entitled at the Company’s expense to continued health coverage under COBRA under the Company’s group medical and dental plans applicable to executives (with the Company’s
payment of premiums lasting for a period of twenty-four months or such shorter period as COBRA provides because of replacement coverage). 
 (g) Accrued Compensation. In the event of any termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, the Executive (or his estate) shall be paid (i) any unpaid portion of his Base
Salary through the effective termination date, (ii) for any accrued but unused vacation (payable in an amount equal to the Base Salary divided by 255 and multiplied by the number of accrued but unused vacation days), (iii) any prior fiscal
year bonus earned, but not paid (unless Executive resigns without Good Reason or is terminated for Cause), (iv) any amounts for expense reimbursement and similar items which have been properly incurred in accordance with the provisions hereof
prior to termination and have not yet been paid, including without limitation any sums due under Sections 2(c), 2(d), and 4(c) hereof, and (v) any Gross-Up Payment which may become due under the terms of Section 6 hereof. Such amounts
shall be paid within ten (10) days of the termination date. 
 (h) Director/Officer Resignations. If the
Executive’s employment hereunder shall be terminated by him or by the Company in accordance with the terms set forth herein, then effective upon the date such termination is effective, he will be deemed to have resigned from all positions as an
officer and director of the Company and of any of its Subsidiaries, except as the parties may otherwise agree. 
 6. Tax Consequences Under
Section 409A 
 (a) In the event that any amount arising from this Agreement is includable in Executive’s gross income
for a taxable year of the Executive under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code as the result of the terms of this Agreement and/or the administration of those terms (the “Included Amount”) and a 20% additional tax
is owed under Section 409A, then the Company shall pay to the Executive an amount equal to the 20% additional tax imposed under Section 409A on the Included Amount, together with any underpayment penalties and interest (the
“Additional Tax”) resulting from the inclusion of the additional amount. The Company also will pay the Executive an additional amount necessary to “gross up” the Executive for additional income taxes on the
Additional Tax payment. 
 (b) The payments required by this Section 6 will be made on the earlier of (i) the
thirtieth day following the date on which it is finally determined by a court or administrative agency that the Included Amount was includible in Executive’s income as the result of the application of Section 409A(a)(1)(B) to the Included
Amount; or (ii) the last day of the Executive’s taxable year next following the taxable year in which the Executive remitted the taxes due as the result of the application of Section 409A(a)(1)(B) to the Included Amount. 

  
 10 

 (c) It shall be a condition precedent to the Company’s obligations under this
Section 6 that the Executive (i) has given the Company written notice of any determination by the Executive, or any claim by any taxing authority, that he owes Additional Tax as the result of the inclusion of the Included Amount;
(ii) that such notice was given as soon as practicable but no later than ten (10) business days after the Executive makes such determination or is informed of such claim; (iii) that such notice shall, to the extent Executive has or
may reasonably obtain such information, apprise the Company of the amount of such Additional Tax and the date on which it is required to be paid. If the Company gives the Executive written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date
for payment of such Additional Tax, or within ten (10) business days of having received the foregoing notice from the Executive (whichever is later), that it disagrees with or wishes to contest the inclusion of the Included Amount and/or the
amount of the Additional Tax, the Company and the Executive shall consult with each other and their respective tax advisors regarding the amount and payment of any Additional Tax, and it shall be a further condition precedent to the Company’s
obligations hereunder that the Executive will take all reasonable steps requested by the Company to contest the inclusion of the Included Amount and/or the amount of the Additional Tax resulting from such inclusion, provided that in the event there
is a contest with any taxing authority regarding the inclusion and/or the amount of the Additional Tax, the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest, penalties and legal fees) incurred in connection
with any such contest, and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, to the extent not otherwise paid hereunder, on the Additional Tax (including any interest and penalties with respect thereto) and the Company’s
payment of the Executive’s costs and expenses hereunder. 
 7. Limitation on Competition. 

The Executive acknowledges that he will have continuing access to the financial and other confidential information of the Company. As an
agreement ancillary to the receipt of such information and the other undertakings in this Agreement, the Executive covenants as follows: 
 During the Employment Period, and for such period thereafter (A) as the Executive is entitled to receive severance compensation under this Agreement, or (B) in the event payment of Enhanced
Severance compensation is paid, for a period of three (3) years following the end of the Employment Period, or (C) in the event the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or the Executive terminates his
employment for any reason other than Good Reason (including, without limitation, by giving the Company a Non-Renewal Notice pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof), for a period of twelve months following the Employment Period: 

(a) the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, without the Company’s prior written consent, participate or engage in, whether
as a director, officer, employee, advisor, consultant, investor, lender, stockholder, partner, joint venturer, owner or in any other capacity, any Competitive Business (as defined below) conducted in any Competitive Market Area (as defined below);
provided, however, that the Executive shall not be deemed to be participating or engaging in any such business solely by virtue of his ownership of not more than five percent of any class of stock or other securities which is publicly traded on a
national securities exchange or in a recognized over-the-counter market; 

  
 11 

 (b) the Executive shall not, without the Company’s prior written consent,
(i) solicit (other than by way of generalized employment advertising undertaken in the ordinary course of business) the service of or employ any employee of the Key Companies for the Executive’s own benefit or for the benefit of any person
or entity other than the Key Companies, (ii) induce any such employee to leave employment with the Key Companies, or (iii) employ or cause any other person or entity other than the Key Companies to employ any former employee of the Key
Companies whose termination of employment with the Key Companies occurred less than six (6) months prior to such employment by the Executive or such other person or entity; and 

(c) the Executive shall not, without the Company’s prior written consent, (i) induce or attempt to induce any customer,
supplier or contractor of the Company to terminate or breach any agreement or arrangement with the Key Companies or otherwise to cease doing business with the Key Companies, or (ii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier or
contractor of the Key Companies (including any prospective customer, supplier or contractor which the Key Companies is actively pursuing prior to the Executive’s termination of employment), not to enter into any agreement or arrangement with
the Key Companies or not to do business with the Key Companies. 
 As used herein, the term “Competitive
Business” shall mean any business: (1) that is competitive with any business (A) which was conducted by the Company or any of its affiliated companies on the date of termination of Executive’s employment hereunder or
(B) which, on the date of such termination or during the twelve months immediately preceding such termination, the Company or any of its affiliated companies was actively investigating with a view to conducting or was actively pursuing a plan
to conduct; and (2) from which the Company and such affiliated companies derive (or reasonably expect to derive) annual revenues of not less than $1,000,000. As used herein, the term “Competitive Market Area” shall mean
any geographic market area (1) if the Company or any of its affiliated companies conducted business in such geographic market area during the Employment Period or on the date of termination of Executive’s employment hereunder, or
(2) if, on the date of such termination or during the twelve months immediately preceding such termination, the Company or any of its affiliated companies was actively investigating with a view to conducting business in such geographic market
area or was actively pursuing a plan to conduct business in such geographic market area. 

  
 12 

 The Executive agrees and acknowledges that a portion of the consideration to be paid by the
Company to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement is in consideration of the covenants under this Section 7 and that such consideration is fair and adequate, even though the Executive will not receive any severance compensation in the event
he terminates his employment with the Company other than for Good Reason or the Company terminates his employment for Cause. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that any breach or anticipatory breach by him of any of the provisions of this
Section 7 would cause the Company or its affiliates irreparable injury not compensable by monetary damages alone and that, accordingly, in any such event, the Key Companies shall be entitled to injunctions, both preliminary and permanent,
enjoining or restraining such breach or anticipatory breach without the necessity of showing irreparable injury (and the Executive hereby consents to the issuance thereof without bond by a court of competent jurisdiction). 

8. Confidential Information. 
 The Executive acknowledges that during the course of his employment with the Company he will have access to trade secrets, confidential and proprietary information and know-how of the Key Companies
(“Confidential Information”). Except in the ordinary course of properly performing his duties for the Company, the Executive shall not at any time, without the Company’s prior written consent while employed or after
termination of his employment, disclose, communicate or divulge, or use for the benefit of himself or of any third party, any of the Confidential Information of the Key Companies. In the event the Executive learns during his employment with the
Company any trade secrets, confidential or proprietary information or know-how of any customer, supplier or contractor of the Key Companies, the Executive shall maintain the confidence of such information. 

9. Return of Materials. 

Upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, the Executive shall promptly deliver to the Company or, with the
Company’s consent, destroy all documents and other materials in the Executive’s possession or custody (whether prepared by the Executive or others) that the Executive obtained from the Key Companies or its customer, supplier or contractor
during the Employment Period and which relate to the past, present or anticipated business and affairs of the Key Companies, including without limitation, any Confidential Information. 
 10. Enforceability. 
 If any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed
invalid or unenforceable as written, this Agreement shall be construed, to the greatest extent possible, or modified, to the extent allowable by law, in a manner which shall render it valid and enforceable and any limitation on the scope or duration
of any such provision necessary to make it valid and enforceable shall be deemed to be a part thereof. No invalidity or unenforceability of any provision contained herein shall affect any other portion of this Agreement unless the provision deemed
to be so invalid or unenforceable is a material element of this Agreement, taken as a whole. 

  
 13 

 11. Legal Expenses. 
 The Company shall pay the Executive’s reasonable fees for legal and other related expenses associated with any disputes arising hereunder or under any other agreements, arrangements or understandings
regarding Executive’s employment with the Company (including, without limitation, all agreements, arrangements and understandings regarding bonuses, Equity-Based Incentives, employee benefits or other compensation issues) if either a court of
competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator shall render a final judgment or an arbitrator’s final decision in favor of the Executive on the issues in such dispute, from which there is no further right of appeal. If it shall be determined in such
judicial adjudication or arbitration that the Executive is successful on some of the issues in such dispute, but not all, then the Executive shall be entitled to receive a portion of such legal fees and other expenses as shall be appropriately
prorated. 
 For purposes of this Section 11, the phrase “reasonable fees for legal and other related expenses”
shall mean only the reasonable fees incurred by the Executive for legal and other related expenses, to the extent and only to the extent to which either (a) the reimbursement or payment of such fees and expenses by the Company does not
constitute “compensation” within the meaning of that word where it appears in the phrase “a legally binding right during a taxable year to compensation” in the first sentence of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(1); or (b) the
reimbursement or payment of such fees and expenses by the Company is a settlement or award resolving bona fide legal claims based on wrongful termination, employment discrimination, the Fair Labor Standards Act, or worker’s compensation
statutes, including claims under applicable Federal, state, local, or foreign laws, or for reimbursements or payments of reasonable attorneys fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by a service provider related to such bona fide legal claims
described in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(10).

 No waiver by either party of any breach or nonperformance of any provision or obligation of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other
provision of this Agreement. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the party granting the waiver.

 15. Withholding and Timing of Payments. 

The Executive acknowledges and agrees that any or all payments under this Agreement may be subject to reduction for tax and other required
withholdings. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, if the payment of any amount under this Agreement would cause an amount to be included in Executive’s taxable income under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code because the
timing of such payment is not delayed as provided in Section 409A(a) (2) (B) of the Internal Revenue Code, then any such payment that Executive would otherwise be entitled to during the first six months following the date of
Executive’s separation from service shall be accumulated and paid on the date that is six months after the date of Executive’s separation from service (or if such payment date does not fall on a business day of the Company, the next
following business day of the Company), or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid without causing any amount to be included in the Executive’s taxable income under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

 This
Agreement may be executed in duplicate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one agreement. 
 17. Agreement Complete; Amendments. 
 This Agreement, together with the
Exhibits hereto, the agreements referred to herein, and the instruments, agreements, plans, resolutions and other documents pursuant to which any Equity-Based Incentives are held (now or in the future) by the Executive, constitutes the entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented, canceled or discharged except by a written instrument
executed by both of the parties hereto, provided, however, that the immediately foregoing provision shall not prohibit the termination of rights and obligations under this Agreement which termination is made in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

 18. Benefit of the Successors and Permitted Assigns of the Respective Parties Hereto.

transferable to any other person, firm or corporation without the consent of the other party, except as contemplated hereby; provided, however, in the event of the sale, merger or consolidation of the Company, whether or not the Company is the

Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Executive’s estate, heirs, executors, administrators, personal and legal representatives, distributees, devisees, and legatees. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 18, the
Company shall not be required to take all actions necessary to insure that a buyer, survivor, transferee or transferees of the Company’s assets (“Transferee”) are bound by the provisions of this Agreement and such
Transferee shall not be bound by the obligations of the Company under this Agreement if the Company shall have (a) paid to the Executive or made provision satisfactory to the Executive for payment to him of all amounts which are or may become
payable to him hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof and (b) made provision satisfactory to the Executive for the continuance of all benefits required to be provided to him in accordance with the terms hereof, in each case as if the
Executive had been terminated without Cause in anticipation of a Change in Control.

provisions contained in this Agreement that are intended to survive the termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder and the termination of the Employment Period shall so survive such termination.

provisions regarding the timing of payments shall have an effective date of August 1, 2005, as required by Code Section 409A. 
 The Company and the Executive each acknowledge and agree that this Agreement has been reviewed and negotiated by such party and its or his counsel, who have contributed to its revision, and the normal
