THIS TWENTY-SECOND AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE (this “Amendment”) is entered into between CRESCENT 1301 MCKINNEY, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”), and KEY ENERGY SERVICES, INC., a Maryland corporation (“Tenant”), with reference to the following:
A.Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Office Lease dated effective as of January 20, 2005; that certain First Amendment to Office Lease dated March 15, 2005; that certain Second Amendment to Office Lease dated June 24, 2005; that certain Commencement Letter dated as of September 28, 2005; that certain Third Amendment to Office Lease dated November 30, 2005; that certain Fourth Amendment to Office Lease dated March 30, 2006; that certain Fifth Amendment to Office Lease dated March 31, 2006; that certain Sixth Amendment to Office Lease dated June 7, 2006; that certain Seventh Amendment to Office Lease dated August 9, 2006; that certain Eighth Amendment to Office Lease dated October 31, 2006; that certain Commencement Letter dated January 16, 2007; that certain Ninth Amendment to Office Lease dated January 11, 2008; that certain Tenth Amendment to Office Lease dated March 27, 2008 (the “Tenth Amendment”); that certain Eleventh Amendment to Office Lease dated April 9, 2008; that certain Twelfth Amendment to Office Lease dated May 12, 2008; that certain Thirteenth Amendment to Office Lease dated June 20, 2008 (the “Thirteenth Amendment”); that certain Fourteenth Amendment to Office Lease dated October 20, 2011; that certain Fifteenth Amendment to Office Lease dated October 25, 2011 (the “Fifteenth Amendment”); that certain Sixteenth Amendment to Office Lease dated March 6, 2012; that certain Seventeenth Amendment to Office Lease dated April 23, 2012; that certain Eighteenth Amendment to Office Lease dated July 23, 2012; that certain Nineteenth Amendment to Office Lease dated August 31, 2012; that certain Twentieth Amendment to Office Lease dated December 17, 2012; and that certain Twenty-First Amendment to Office Lease dated April 3, 2014 (the “Twenty-First Amendment”) (as amended, the “Lease”), currently covering approximately 96,992 square feet of Rentable Square Footage on floors 15, 16, 17 and 18 (the “Premises”) of the building located at 1301 McKinney, Houston, Texas (the “Building”).

B.Tenant desires to release and surrender to Landlord a portion of the Premises consisting of approximately 7,234 square feet of Rentable Square Footage on floor 15 of the Building (the “Reduction Space”), as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes, leaving the balance of the Premises, consisting of approximately 89,758 square feet of Rentable Square Footage on floors 15, 16, 17 and 18 of the Building (the “Remaining Premises”).  Landlord is willing to accept the release and surrender of the Reduction Space on the terms and conditions set forth below.

C.Landlord and Tenant now desire to further amend the Lease as set forth below.  Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Amendment, capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the same meanings as in the Lease.

FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1.Space Reduction.  The Lease is amended to provide that, effective as of 11:59 p.m. on April 30, 2015 (the “Reduction Date”), (a) the Reduction Space shall be subtracted from the Premises, (b) the floor plan drawings with respect to the portion of the Premises located on floor 15 of the Building attached as Exhibit A-1 to the Tenth Amendment, Exhibit A-2 attached to the Thirteenth Amendment and Exhibit A-1 attached to the Fifteenth Amendment shall be deleted and replaced with Exhibit A-1 attached to this Amendment (the “Floor 15 Portion of the Remaining Premises”), and (c) the term, “Premises,” as used in the Lease shall mean and include approximately 89,758 square feet of Rentable Square Footage on floors 15, 16, 17 and 18 of the Building, being the Rentable Square Footage of the Remaining Premises.  As of the Reduction Date, (i) Tenant shall no longer have any right to occupy and/or use the Reduction Space, (ii) the Lease shall be deemed terminated with respect to the Reduction Space except for the continuing Rent obligation set forth in Paragraph 3 below, (iii) except for the continuing Rent obligation set forth in Paragraph 3 below, neither Tenant nor Landlord shall have any further liability or obligation to the other with respect to the Reduction Space, except for those items that survive the termination of the Lease pursuant to its terms and except as specifically set forth in this Amendment.  Additionally, Tenant shall have no further option to surrender a portion of the Premises pursuant to Paragraph 4 of the Twenty-First Amendment.

(a)On the Reduction Date, the Reduction Space shall be surrendered by Tenant to Landlord as required under Article 29 of the Lease.

(b)Landlord may prohibit access by Tenant to the Reduction Space after the Reduction Date by changing the locks to the Reduction Space or by any other means permitted by the Lease, at law or in equity.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Amendment, Tenant may remain in the Reduction Space on a month-to-month basis for up to two (2) months (the “Permitted Holdover Period”) so long as Tenant provides written notice to Landlord no later than thirty (30) days’ prior to the Reduction Date.  If Tenant timely delivers such notice, Tenant’s possession of the Reduction Space during the Permitted Holdover Period shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Lease.

3.Rent.  Notwithstanding the reduction of the Premises by the Reduction Space as of the Reduction Date, Tenant shall continue to pay Rent (inclusive of Base Rent, the OE Payment and the management fee) for the Reduction Space for the period commencing on the Reduction Date and expiring on June 30, 2016, except that Tenant shall receive for such period a credit against Base Rent equal to $15.00 per square foot of Rentable Square Footage per annum, which credit shall be ratably applied over the aforesaid eighteen (18) month period.

Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not undertaken to perform any modification, alteration or improvement to the Remaining Premises.  TENANT WAIVES (a) ALL CLAIMS DUE TO DEFECTS IN THE REMAINING PREMISES, THE BUILDING AND/OR THE PROPERTY AND (b) ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE OF SUITABILITIY, HABITABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

7.ERISA Matters.  Tenant represents that (a) neither Tenant nor any entity controlling or controlled by Tenant owns a five percent (5%) or more interest (within the meaning of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 84-14) in JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”) or any of JPMorgan’s affiliates, and (b) neither JPMorgan, nor any of its affiliates, owns a five percent (5%) or more interest in Tenant or any entity controlling or controlled by Tenant.

8.Consent.  This Amendment is subject to, and conditioned upon, any required consent or approval being unconditionally granted by Landlord’s mortgagee(s).  If any such consent shall be denied, or granted subject to an unacceptable condition, this Amendment shall be null and void and the Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

Tenant represents and warrants that it has not been represented by any broker or agent in connection with the execution of this Amendment except Partners Commercial Realty, L.P. d/b/a NAI Houston.

Landlord’s acceptance, execution and return of this Amendment shall constitute Landlord’s agreement to waive Tenant’s failure to meet such deadline.

11.Miscellaneous.  This Amendment shall become effective only upon full execution and delivery of this Amendment by Landlord and Tenant.
