 4. Vesting. Except as otherwise provided herein, the restrictions described in
Section 3 above will lapse with respect to ________ of the Restricted Stock Units on [each of] the _____ anniversary of __________ (the “Vesting Commencement Date”), [the _____________ anniversary of the Vesting Commencement
Date and the _____________ anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date] ([each] such date, [a] [the] “Vesting Date”); provided, that, the Participant is still employed by the Company (“Continuous
Service”) on the applicable Vesting Date. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee in its discretion, if the Participant’s Continuous Service terminates for any reason at any time prior to a Vesting Date, the outstanding

Initial PSU Vesting Date as defined in that certain Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Company and the Participant (which shall be deemed to be a Vesting Date hereunder), all restrictions will
lapse with respect to 100% of the outstanding unvested Restricted Stock Units; provided, that, the Participant is still in Continuous Service as of such Initial PSU Vesting Date. 

5. Tax Withholding. The Participant shall be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate, and the Company or any Affiliate

Stock, other securities or other property) of any required withholding taxes in respect of the RSU Award and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Committee or the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of
such withholding and taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall permit the Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, the foregoing withholding liability by having the Company withhold from the number of shares of Common Stock
otherwise issuable or deliverable pursuant to the settlement of this RSU Award a number of shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability. 

6. Representations; Rights as Shareholder. The Participant represents, warrants acknowledges and agrees that (i) the

purchaser or other transferee to whom such shares have been so transferred.

SUPERIOR ENERGY SERVICES, INC. 

2021 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN 

EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

 This Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made, effective as of the _______ day of _________, _____ (the
“Date of Grant”), between Superior Energy Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and _________ (the “Participant”). 

RECITALS: 

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Superior Energy Services, Inc. 2021 Management Incentive Plan (as it may be amended from time to
time, the “Plan”) pursuant to which awards of Restricted Stock Units may be granted; and 
 WHEREAS, the Board and
Committee have determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to grant the performance-based vesting Restricted Stock Units provided for herein (the “PSU Award”) to the Participant in recognition of
the Participant’s services to the Company, such grant to be subject to the terms set forth herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration for the services rendered by the Participant to the Company and the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1. Grant of Performance Stock Units. Pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan, the Company hereby issues to the Participant on the
Date of Grant an award consisting of, in the aggregate, ________ Restricted Stock Units (the “Performance Stock Units”) having the rights and subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan. The Performance
Stock Units shall vest in accordance with Section 4 hereof. 
 2. Incorporation by Reference. The provisions of the Plan
are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Award Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and any capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Award
Agreement shall have the definitions set forth in the Plan. The Committee shall have the authority to interpret and construe the Plan and this Award Agreement and to make any and all determinations thereunder, and its decision shall be binding and
conclusive upon the Participant and his or her legal representative in respect of any questions arising under the Plan or this Award Agreement. 

3. Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Award Agreement, the Performance Stock Units may not be
assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall result in such Performance Stock Units
being automatically cancelled by the Company. In such case, all of the Participant’s rights to such Performance Stock Units shall immediately terminate.

 4. Vesting. 

(a) Generally. Except as otherwise provided herein, the restrictions described in Section 3 above will lapse with
respect to a percentage of the Performance Stock Units upon the Company achieving the hurdles with respect to the price per share of Common Stock (the “Share Price”) set forth in the table below (each, a
“Hurdle” and, collectively, the “Hurdles”), in each case, as measured on a cumulative basis upon the occurrence of each Applicable Corporate Transaction (as defined below) in accordance with Section 4(c) below
(each such date, a “Vesting Date”); provided, that, the Participant is still employed by the Company (“Continuous Service”) on each applicable Vesting Date. The percentage of Performance Stock Units
vesting between the Hurdles reflected in the table below shall be determined based on straight-line linear interpolation. For the avoidance of doubt, no Performance Stock Units shall vest until the Share Price is at least equal to $[50.00]. The
first Vesting Date to occur shall be referred to as the “Initial PSU Vesting Date”. 
  

					
	 Share Price Hurdles
	  	% of Performance Stock Units Vesting	 
	 $[50.00]
	  	 	[25	]% 
	 $[55.00]
	  	 	[40	]% 
	 $[60.00]
	  	 	[55	]% 
	 $[65.00]
	  	 	[70	]% 
	 $[70.00]
	  	 	[80	]% 
	 $[75.00]
	  	 	[90	]% 
	 $[80.00]
	  	 	[100	]% 

 (b) Termination of Continuous Service. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee
in its discretion, if the Participant’s Continuous Service terminates for any reason at any time prior to an applicable Vesting Date (including the Initial PSU Vesting Date), the outstanding unvested Performance Stock Units will be
automatically forfeited for no consideration and all of the Participant’s rights to such Performance Stock Units shall immediately terminate. 

(c) Determination of Share Price. Share Price will be measured only upon the occurrence of an Applicable Corporate
Transaction and will be calculated as set forth in this Section 4(c). In the case of an Applicable Corporate Transaction in which the Company is an acquirer (an “Acquiring Corporate Transaction”), Share Price for purposes of
the Hurdles will be calculated based on (x) the Fair Market Value of the equity of the company or the assets (net of assumed liabilities), in each case, acquired in the Acquiring Corporate Transaction divided by (y) the number of shares of
Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding as of the consummation of such Acquiring Corporate Transaction calculated on a fully-diluted basis (e.g., taking into 

  
 2 

 
account shares that are issuable upon vesting of Performance Stock Units and Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan) or, if such Acquiring Corporate Transaction is subsequent to an
Acquiring Corporate Transaction, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding as of the consummation of the first Acquiring Corporate Transaction following the Date of Grant calculated on a
fully-diluted basis (e.g., taking into account shares that are issuable upon vesting of Performance Stock Units and Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan), in each case, as determined by the Committee or, if requested by the
Participant, a qualified third-party (e.g., a CFA or CPA). In the case of an Applicable Corporate Transaction in which the Company is a seller (a “Divestiture Corporate Transaction”), Share Price for purposes of the Hurdles
will be calculated based on (x) the Fair Market Value of the Divestiture Corporate Transaction divided by (y) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding as of the consummation of such
Divestiture Corporate Transaction calculated on a fully-diluted basis (e.g., taking into account shares that are issuable upon vesting of Performance Stock Units and Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan) as determined by the
Committee or, if requested by the Participant, a qualified third-party (e.g., a CFA or CPA). In the case of both an Acquiring Corporate Transaction and a Divestiture Corporate Transaction, Share Price shall be measured on the consummation of
each such Applicable Corporate Transaction, subject to adjustment as a result of distributions and/or dividends made to stockholders of record after the Date of Grant and the impact of Applicable Corporate Transactions on the Share Price. The Share
Price for purposes of the Hurdles shall be measured cumulatively after the occurrence of the first Applicable Corporate Transaction upon the occurrence of each subsequent Applicable Corporate Transaction; provided, that to the extent a Divestiture
Corporate Transaction follows an Acquiring Corporate Transaction with respect to the same asset or business, Share Price shall only be achieved on the subsequent Divestiture Corporate Transaction to the extent, and only by the amount that, the Share
Price on such Divestiture Corporate Transaction exceeds the Share Price on such Acquiring Corporate Transaction. 
 (d)
Applicable Corporate Transaction. For purposes of this Agreement, “Applicable Corporate Transaction” means any of the following involving the Company or any subsidiary of the Company: (i) a sale or other disposition of
the Company’s assets, including any such transaction involving the sale of equity of a Company subsidiary, (ii) a merger or reverse merger (or similar transaction) involving all or substantially all of the Company’s assets,
(iii) a sale of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock by the Company’s two key stockholders of at least 50% of their collective investments in the Company that occurs prior to the End Date (as defined below), or
(iv) the acquisition by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company of a business or assets which constitute a business. 

(e) End Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all Performance Stock Units that are outstanding and
unvested on __________ (the “End Date”) will terminate on the End Date and be cancelled without consideration and the Participant’s rights to such Performance Stock Units shall immediately terminate. 

  
 3 

 5. Tax Withholding. The Participant shall be required to pay to the Company or
any Affiliate, and the Company or any Affiliate shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold, from any cash, Common Stock, other securities or other property deliverable under any Award or from any compensation or other amounts owing to
the Participant, the amount (in cash, Common Stock, other securities or other property) of any required withholding taxes in respect of the PSU Award and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Committee or the Company to
satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding and taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall permit the Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, the foregoing withholding liability by having the Company withhold from
the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable or deliverable pursuant to the settlement of this PSU Award a number of shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability. 

6. Representations; Rights as Shareholder. The Participant represents, warrants acknowledges and agrees that (i) the
Participant is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Section 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act and acquiring the Performance Stock Units and underlying Common Stock for and on behalf of the Participant, for
investment purposes, and not with a view to distribution in violation of the Securities Act; (ii) the Participant understands that there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Performance Stock Units and the Common Stock
underlying the Performance Stock Units and, on the Date of Grant and for an indefinite period following the Date of Grant, there will be no public market for the Common Stock and, accordingly, it may not be possible for the Participant to liquidate
the Common Stock in case of emergency, if at all; (iii) the Common Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be resold unless registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is
available; (iv) the Participant has been given the opportunity to examine all documents and to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the Company and its representatives concerning the Company and its subsidiaries, the Company’s
organizational documents, the terms and conditions of the acquisition of the Common Stock underlying the Performance Stock Units, and the Plan and to obtain any additional information which Participant deems necessary; (v) the Participant has

Units by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. 
 7. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The grant of this
PSU Award and the issuance and transfer of the Common Stock underlying the Performance Stock Units upon settlement of this PSU Award shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Participant with all applicable requirements of securities
laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the shares of Common Stock may be listed at the time of such issuance or transfer. 

8. Stop-Transfer Instructions. The Participant agrees that, to ensure compliance with the restrictions imposed by this Award
Agreement, the Company may issue appropriate “stop-transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.
