THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT, including the Appendices attached hereto (this “Agreement”), dated as of __________, 2014 (the “Date of Grant”), is made by and between Key Energy Services, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and the employee named in the Award Summary delivered in connection with this grant (the “Participant”).
R E C I T A L S:
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Key Energy Services, Inc. 2014 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which awards of Restricted Stock of the Company may be granted; and
WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to grant the award of restricted shares of Common Stock provided for herein (the “Restricted Stock 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 mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.Grant of Restricted Stock Award.  Pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Plan, the Company hereby issues to the Participant on the Date of Grant the Restricted Stock Award consisting of, in the aggregate, «Shares» shares of Restricted Stock of the Company (hereinafter called the “Restricted Shares”) having the rights and subject to the restrictions set out in this Agreement and the Plan.  The Restricted Shares shall vest in accordance with Section 4 hereof.
2.Incorporation by Reference.  The provisions of the Plan including, without limitation, Sections 11, 12, 14.5, 14.6, and 14.7 thereof, are hereby incorporated herein by reference.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and any capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the definitions set forth in the Plan.  To the extent that this Agreement is silent with respect to, or in any way inconsistent with, the terms of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern and this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly.  The Committee shall have the authority to interpret and construe the Plan and this 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 Agreement.
3.Restrictions.  Except as provided in the Plan or this Agreement, the restrictions on the Restricted Shares are that they will be forfeited by the Participant and all of the Participant’s rights to such shares shall immediately terminate without any payment or consideration by the Company, in the event of (i) the Participant’s termination of employment during the Restricted Period (as defined below), except as otherwise provided in Section 4, or (ii) any sale, assignment, transfer, hypothecation, pledge or other alienation of such Restricted Shares made or attempted during the Restricted Period, whether voluntary or involuntary, and if involuntary whether by process of law in any civil or criminal suit, action or proceeding, whether in the nature of an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, without the written consent of the Board.

4.Vesting.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the restrictions described in Section 3 above will lapse on the date or dates, as the case may be, set forth on Exhibit A to this Agreement (each a “Vesting Date,” and, with respect to each Restricted Share, the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on the applicable Vesting Date for such share, the “Restricted Period”); provided, that, the Participant is still in Continuous Service with the Company on such Vesting Date.  
(a)Death, Disability.  The Restricted Period shall expire and all restrictions will lapse with respect to 100% of the Restricted Shares upon the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service due to death or Disability prior to the Vesting Date.
(b)Termination Following a Change in Control.  The Restricted Period shall expire and all restrictions will lapse with respect to 100% of the Restricted Shares upon termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service by the Company without Cause that occurs prior to the Vesting Date and upon, or within 24 months following, a Change in Control.  
(c)Effect of Individual Employment Agreement.  Notwithstanding any provision herein, if the Participant and the Company or one of its Affiliates are parties to an employment agreement that provides that the Participant is entitled to vesting of equity-based incentives if the Participant’s Continuous Service terminates under specified circumstances, then the Restricted Stock Award will vest in accordance with the  provisions of the employment agreement upon termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service under the circumstances described therein.  If  the Participant and the Company or one of its Affiliates are parties to an employment agreement that provides for vesting solely on account of a change in control (as defined in the employment agreement) without regard to whether a termination of Continuous Service occurs, the Participant hereby waives the Participant’s right to accelerated vesting solely on account of a change in control under such provision as applicable to the Restricted Stock Award and hereby acknowledges that, notwithstanding any provision of the employment agreement to the contrary, the Restricted Shares shall not become vested solely on account of a change in control.  This waiver shall supersede the otherwise applicable provisions of the employment agreement.
(d)Termination of Continuous Service.  Except as otherwise set forth in Section 4(a), (b) or (c) above, if the Participant’s Continuous Service terminates for any reason at any time prior to the Vesting Date, the unvested Restricted Shares will be forfeited and all of the Participant’s rights to such shares of Common Stock shall immediately terminate.  
(e)Disputes.  If the Participant’s Continuous Service terminates prior to the Vesting Date, and there exists a dispute between the Participant and the Company or the Committee as to the satisfaction of the conditions to the lapse of the restrictions or the terms and conditions of the grant, the Restricted Shares shall remain subject to the restrictions until the resolution of such dispute, except that any distributions that may be payable to the holders of record of Common Stock as of a date during the period from termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service to the resolution of such dispute shall:
(i)     to the extent to which such distributions would have been payable to the Participant on the Restricted Shares under the terms hereof, be held by the Company as part of its general funds, and shall be paid to or for the account of the Participant only upon, and in the event of, a resolution of such dispute in a manner favorable to the Participant, and then only with respect to such of the Restricted Shares as to which such resolution shall be so favorable, subject to compliance with  Section 409A of the Code, if applicable, or an exception thereunder, and
(ii)    be retained by the Company in the event of a resolution of such dispute in a manner unfavorable to the Participant only with respect to such of the Restricted Shares as to which such resolution shall be so unfavorable.

(a)Tax Withholding.  All shares of Common Stock and other payments under this Agreement are subject to applicable foreign, federal, state, or local tax withholding, and the Company shall have the right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant any such tax withholding amounts.  Shares of Vested Restricted Stock shall be withheld to satisfy applicable tax withholding with respect to such shares, up to the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by applicable law, unless, to the extent permitted by the Committee, the Participant elects to satisfy such withholding obligation in another manner, consistent with procedures established by the Committee.  
(b)Section 83(b) of the Code.

If the Participant fails to make such payments, the Company or its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such Restricted Shares.
6.Rights as Shareholders; Dividends.  The Participant shall be the record owner of the Restricted Shares unless and until such shares of Common Stock are cancelled or rescinded pursuant to the terms of the Plan or sold or otherwise disposed of, and as record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights, if any, with respect to the Restricted Shares and the right to receive dividends, if any, while the Restricted Shares are held in custody.
7.Certificates.  Reasonably promptly following the Date of Grant, the Company shall either cause to be issued to the Participant a certificate in respect of the Restricted Shares or reflect ownership thereof in book-entry form on the Company’s books and records.
