or proceeding made or brought by any person who or which is not a party to this Agreement or who or which is not an affiliate of any Party to this Agreement (such claim, a “Third-Party Claim”), punitive damages, and all costs or
expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses incurred in respect of Third-Party Claims or claims between the Parties hereto (collectively, “Damages”), to the extent incurred or suffered as a
result of or arising out of (i) the failure of any representation or warranty made by SES in Clause 6 to be true and correct as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date or (ii) breach of any covenant herein; provided,
however, that SES will not be liable to Zhongmo under this Clause 8(b) unless the aggregate amount of Damages exceeds US$100,000, and then only for those Damages in excess of such amount; provided, further, that the liability of

of or arising out of (i) the failure of any representation or warranty made by Zhongmo in Clause 5 to be true and correct as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date or (ii) breach of any covenant herein; provided,
however, that Zhongmo will not be liable under this Clause 8(c) unless the aggregate amount of Damages exceeds US$100,000 and then only for those Damages in excess of such amount; provided, further, that the liability of Zhongmo

 (d) If any person who or which is entitled to seek indemnification under Clauses 8(b) or
8(c) (an “Indemnified Party”) receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Third-Party Claim against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the person against whom or which such indemnification is being sought (an
“Indemnifying Party”) is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party will give such Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than twenty days after
receipt of such written notice of such Third-Party Claim. Such notice by the Indemnified Party will describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, will include copies of all available material written evidence thereof and will indicate the
estimated amount, if reasonably estimable, of the Damages that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will have the right to participate in, or, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume,
the defense of any Third-Party Claim at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel (which will be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party), and the Indemnified Party will cooperate in good
faith in such defense. 
 (e) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against any third party
claim for which it is entitled to indemnification from such Indemnifying Party under this Clause 8 with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing
within fifteen days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of Damages the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from,
arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the extent provided in Clauses 8(b) or 8(c), (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the
Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill their indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Third-Party Claim involves only money damages and does
not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third-Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or
practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, and (v) the Indemnifying Party diligently conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim. 
 So long as the Indemnifying Party has undertaken to conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Clause 8(e), (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its
sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written
consent of the Indemnifying Party, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party informed as to the status of the claim for which it is providing a defense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that
(A) any of the conditions in this Clause 8(e) is or becomes unsatisfied; (B) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to defend such action within thirty days after the
Indemnifying Party received notice of the Third-Party Claim; (C) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded, based upon written advice of counsel, that it has defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those
available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party with respect to such different defenses); or (D) representation of such
Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding, then the
Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any
consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith) and, the Indemnifying Party will be responsible for the Indemnified Party’s costs of defending against the Third-Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses),
and the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for the entirety of the Damages the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third-Party Claim.

 (f) Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of Damages which does not result from a
Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) will be asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party a written notice thereof. The Indemnifying Party will have a period of twenty days within which to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If
the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such twenty day period, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which event the Indemnified Party will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the
Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement or at law. 
 (g) A failure to give timely notice

providing such information; (ii) Contractor shall not be required to provide any information to the extent Contractor is restricted from doing so by any applicable law or any confidentiality obligations to Third Parties; and (iii) the

provides for benefits or terms more favorable than those contained in this Agreement for similar services, under similar contract terms and using similar equipment, this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified to provide Company with such more
favorable benefits and terms. 
 2.6 Preferred Contractor. For any Work that the Company subjects to a competitive bid,
Company shall give Contractor the right to bid for any such Work, and for any Work not subjected to a competitive bid, Contractor shall be given the first right to quote for any such Work. At any time, Company shall be free to acquire competitive
bids from competing service providers, including Contractor, for Work. In the absence of a formal tender, all bidding standards shall be comparable to Contractor’s customary bidding standards, with such bidding process clearly identifying the
health, safety, security, and environmental services to be provided, equipment and manpower standards and terms. If a Third Party bid for Work, which satisfied the bidding standards, is lower than the bid offered by Contractor for such Work,
Contractor shall have the right to perform such Work at a discounted price equal to ninety-nine percent (99%) of the price of such lower bid, and such discounted price shall presumptively establish the price applicable to that Service or
Material, if lower than the pricing under the Pricing Book Terms, including any agreed upon discounts. During Phase II (as defined below) for any particular Service or Material, if Contractor does not exercise its right to perform the Work at a
price equal to ninety-nine percent (99%) of the lowest bid for economic reasons and not for reasons of equipment or personnel availability, then Company shall be free to utilize Third Party service providers for such Work and for the duration
of performance under the applicable Work Order or Drilling Contract, as applicable. Contractor shall have the right to audit Company’s books and records, subject to prior notice by Contractor to Company and conducted during Company’s
normal working hours, to confirm compliance with this Section 2.6. 

  
 6 

 2.7 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Company shall not be
considered in breach of this Agreement in the event that Company is prohibited from solely approving Contractor for any Work by reason of any of Company’s obligations existing under any of the agreements set forth on Schedule 2.7.
Provided, however, notwithstanding the provisions of such agreements, if Contractor would otherwise have the right to perform the Work hereunder, Company agrees that it will seek approval from any applicable joint or operating committee under any
such agreements for Contractor to perform such Work.

to ensure that any equipment, personnel and capacity to perform Work that is owned by Contractor as of the Effective Date and that is available, and not committed to provide services to Third Parties at the Effective Date, remains available to

within three (3) business days of receiving the dispute in a good faith effort to resolve the dispute. If the dispute still cannot be resolved by such management level representatives within five (5) business days of receiving same, then
the dispute together with all particulars, will be forwarded to an executive officer of Company and Contractor for resolution. If such individuals are unable to resolve the dispute within two (2) business days of receiving the competing

this Agreement pursuant to this Section 15.2(a).
