	 	(b)	A sale, consolidation, merger, or acquisition in which the Company becomes accountable to, or a part of, a newly created company or controlling organization where at

	 	(c)	A sale or other disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. 

“Good Reason” shall mean any of the following events: 

 

	 	(a)	Assignment to Employee by XATA of duties which are inconsistent with Employee’s position, duties, responsibilities, and status with XATA, except in connection with
the termination of his employment for Disability (as defined below) or Cause, or 

  

	 	(b)	Any failure to XATA to continue in effect Employees then current compensation, unless such compensation is reduced as part of a Companywide reduction for similar
executives. 

 2. Termination and Severance 

If (a) XATA terminates Employee’s employment for any reason other than a Cause, or (b) Employee is terminated within
six-months following a Change of Control for other than Cause, or (c) Employee terminates his employment for Good Cause, XATA, or its successor entity shall: 
  

	 	(i)	pay Employee as severance pay each month for twelve (12) consecutive months following his termination or resignation his monthly base salary in effect at the time
of separation, less customary withholdings, beginning one (1) month after termination, and; 

  

	 	(ii)	reimbursement for outplacement services for a period of six (6) months not to exceed $10,000.00, and; 

	 	(iii)	if Employee timely elects to continue his group health and dental insurance coverage pursuant to applicable COBRA/continuation law and the terms of the respective
benefit plans, pay on Employee’s behalf the premiums for such coverage for the lesser of twelve (12) months or such time as Employee’s COBRA/continuation rights expire. 

Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, XATA may terminate Employee’s employment without notice if the termination is
based on any of the following events that constitute Cause: 
  

	 	(a)	Any conviction or nolo contendere plea by Employee to a felony or gross misdemeanor, or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or any public conduct by Employee that
has or can reasonably be expected to have a detrimental effect on XATA; or 

  

	 	(b)	Any fraud, misappropriations or embezzlement, breach of confidentiality, noncompetition, fiduciary duty or other obligation to Company, by Employee or intentional
material damage to the property or business of XATA. 

 In the event of a termination for Cause, and not withstanding any contrary
provision otherwise stated, Employee shall receive only his base salary earned through the date of termination. 
 XATA may,
subject to applicable law, terminate this Agreement by giving Employee two (2) months notice if Employee, due to sickness or injury, is prevented from carrying out his essential job functions for a period of six (6) months or longer. In
the event of such termination, Employee shall receive only that compensation earned through the date of termination; provided, however, that Employee shall be entitled to all or a portion of any bonus due Employee pursuant to any bonus plan or
arrangement established prior to termination, to the extent earned or performed based upon the requirements or criteria of such plan or arrangement, as the Board shall in good faith determine. 

Employee’s employment and this Agreement will be deemed terminated upon the death of the Employee. In the event of such termination,
Employee shall receive only compensation earned through the date of termination provided, however, that Employee shall be entitled to all or a portion of any bonus due Employee pursuant to any bonus plan or arrangement established prior to
termination, to the extent earned or performed based upon the requirements or criteria of such plan or arrangement, as the Board shall in good faith determine. 
 3. Miscellaneous

hereunder, or any compensation due to him hereunder, to any other person or entity. This Agreement may be assigned by XATA and XATA shall require any successors or assigns to expressly assume and agree to perform XATA’s obligations under this
Agreement.

 DEFINITIONS AND INCORPORATION 

BY REFERENCE 

Section 1.01 Definitions. 
 “Acquisition” means the merger of Complete with and into Merger Sub pursuant to the Merger Agreement. 
 “Additional Assets” means (1) any property or assets (other than Indebtedness, Capital Stock and working capital assets) used or useful in a Related Business, (2) the Capital
Stock of a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the acquisition of such Capital Stock by Superior Energy, Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary or (3) Capital Stock constituting a minority interest in any Person that at
such time is a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that any such Restricted Subsidiary described in clauses (2) and (3) above is primarily engaged in a Related Business. 

“Additional Notes” has the meaning ascribed to it in the second introductory paragraph of this Indenture. 

“Additional Interest” means any and all additional interest payable in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement
with respect to the Notes. 
 “Affiliate” of any specified Person means (1) any other Person, directly or
indirectly, controlling or controlled by, or (2) under direct or indirect common control with, such specified Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect to any Person means the power to direct the

foregoing. For purposes of Sections 4.07, 4.10 and 4.11 hereto only, “Affiliate” shall also mean any beneficial owner of Capital Stock representing 10% or more of the total voting power of the Voting Stock (on a fully diluted basis) of

redemption date, the greater of: 
 (a) 
 (1) 1.0% of the principal amount of the Note; and 
 (2) the excess
of: (a) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of the Note at December 15, 2016, (such redemption price being set forth in the table appearing in Section 3.07 hereof) plus (ii) all required
interest payments due on the Note through December 15, 2016, (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such redemption date plus 50 basis points; over

 (b) the then-outstanding principal amount of the Note, if greater. 

“Asset Disposition” means any sale, transfer or other disposition (or series of related sales, leases, transfers or

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Issuer may not issue any Additional

systems. If such interests are held through Euroclear or Clearstream, Euroclear and Clearstream shall hold such interests in the applicable Regulation S Global Note on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in their
respective names on the books of their respective depositaries. Such depositaries, in turn, shall hold such interests in the applicable Regulation S Global Note in customers’ securities accounts in the depositaries’ names on the books of
DTC.

regarding the maximum principal amount to be represented by a single certificate. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Custodian, as

Notes may have notations, endorsements or legends required by law, stock exchange rule or usage, in addition to those set forth on Exhibit A and Exhibit B and in Section 2.01(d). Issuer shall approve any notation, endorsement or legend on the
Notes. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A and Exhibit B are part of the terms of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their
execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to be bound by such terms.

in part, to the DTC, its successors or its respective nominees, except as set forth in Section 2.01(e)(v) and 2.01(f). If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the
Trustee shall (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other
Global Note. Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, shall, upon transfer or exchange,
cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, shall thereafter be subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in
such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest. 
 (iii) Members of, or participants in, DTC (“Agent
Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by DTC or by the Custodian, as the custodian of DTC, or under such Global Note, and DTC may be treated by Issuer, the Trustee and any
agent of Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any
written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of DTC governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of a beneficial interest in any Global
Note. 

  
 37 

 (iv) In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interest in a Global
Note pursuant to Section 2.01(f) to beneficial owners who are required to hold Definitive Notes, the Custodian shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the
principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more Definitive Notes of like tenor and amount. 

(v) In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 2.01(f), such Global Note shall
be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, to each beneficial owner identified by DTC in exchange for its beneficial interest in such
Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. 
 (vi) The registered Holder
of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

 (vii) Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in
such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (b) any Holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, and that ownership of a beneficial interest
in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. 
 (f) Definitive Notes. (i) Except as
provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes shall not be entitled to receive Definitive Notes. If required to do so pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, beneficial owners may obtain Definitive Notes in exchange for their
beneficial interests in a Global Note upon written request in accordance with DTC’s and the Registrar’s procedures. In addition, Definitive Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a
Global Note if (A) DTC notifies Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, at a time when DTC is required to be so registered in
order to act as depositary, and in each case a successor depositary is not appointed by Issuer within 90 days of such notice or, (B) Issuer in its sole discretion executes and delivers to the Trustee and Registrar an Officers’ Certificate
stating that such Global Note shall be so exchangeable or (C) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from DTC. In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in the second
preceding sentence or in clause (A), (B) or (C) of the preceding sentence, Issuer shall promptly make available to the Registrar a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes. 

(ii) Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.01(e)(iv) or
(v) shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.06(d), bear the applicable legend regarding transfer restrictions applicable to the Definitive Note set forth in Section 2.01(d). 

  
 38 

 (iii) If a Definitive Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global
Note, the Trustee shall (x) cancel such Definitive Note, (y) record an increase in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (z) in the event that such transfer or exchange
involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Definitive Note, Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, to the transferring Holder a new Definitive Note representing the principal
amount not so transferred. 
 (iv) If a Definitive Note is transferred or exchanged for another Definitive Note, (x) the
Trustee shall cancel the Definitive Note being transferred or exchanged, (y) Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more new Definitive Notes in authorized denominations having an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled Definitive Note (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee
or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Definitive Note, Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the
Holder thereof, one or more Definitive Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Definitive Notes, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.

 Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication. 

At least one Officer must sign the Notes for Issuer by manual or facsimile signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be
valid. 
 A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive
evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and
delivery of this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery: (1) Initial Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $800,000,000, (2) subject to the terms of this
Indenture, Additional Notes for original issue in an unlimited principal amount, and (3) Exchange Notes for issue only in an exchange offer pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or upon resale under an effective Shelf Registration
Statement, and only in exchange for Initial Notes or Additional Notes of an equal principal amount and (4) under the circumstances set forth in Section 2.06(e), Initial Notes in the form of an Unrestricted Global Note, in each case upon a
written order of Issuer signed by one Officer (the “Authentication Order”). Such Authentication Order shall specify whether the Notes shall be in the form of Definitive Notes or Global Notes, the amount of the Notes to be
authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes, Additional Notes or Exchange Notes. 

  
 39 

 In case Issuer or any Guarantor, pursuant to Article 5 or Section 10.04, as applicable,
shall be consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such consolidation,
or surviving such merger, or into which Issuer or any Guarantor shall have been merged, or the Person which shall have received a conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto
with the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 10.04, as applicable, any of the Notes authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition may (but shall not be required),
from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Notes executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the
Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon the Authentication Order of the successor Person, shall authenticate and make available for delivery Notes as specified in such order for the purpose of such
exchange. If Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section 2.02 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Notes, such successor Person, at the
option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Notes at the time outstanding for Notes authenticated and delivered in such new name. 
 Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent. 
 Issuer will maintain
an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep
a register of the Notes (“Notes Register”) and of their transfer and exchange. Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the
term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this
Indenture. If Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

Issuer initially appoints DTC to act as depositary with respect to the Global Notes. 

Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

 Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

Issuer will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit
of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by Issuer in making any such payment.

  
 40 

 
While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to
the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in
a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to Issuer, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 

Section 2.05 Holder Lists. 
 The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA §
312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, Issuer will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as
the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders and Issuer shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). 
 Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange. 
 (a) A Holder may transfer
a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) to another Person or exchange a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) for another Note or Notes of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Registrar a written request therefor stating the name of
the proposed transferee or requesting such an exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other document required by this Section 2.06. The Registrar shall promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of
this Section 2.06 by noting the same in the register maintained by the Registrar for the purpose, and no transfer or exchange shall be effective until it is registered in such register. The transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial
interest therein) may only be made in accordance with this Section 2.06 and Section 2.01(e) and 2.01(f), as applicable, and, in the case of a Global Note (or a beneficial interest therein), the applicable rules and procedures of DTC,
Euroclear and Clearstream. The Registrar shall refuse to register any requested transfer or exchange that does not comply with this paragraph. Any action with respect to transfers and exchanges of the Notes pursuant to this Section 2.06 may be
taken by the Registrar whenever the Trustee may do so, and each reference in this Section 2.06 to the Trustee shall include the Registrar. 
 (b) Transfers of Rule 144A Notes and Institutional Accredited Investor Notes. The following provisions shall apply with respect to any proposed registration of transfer of a Rule 144A Note or
an Institutional Accredited Investor Note prior to the date which is one year after the later of the date of its original issue and the last date on which Issuer or any Affiliate of Issuer was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto)
(the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”): 
 (1) a registration of transfer of a
Rule 144A Note or an Institutional Accredited Investor Note or a beneficial interest therein to a QIB shall be made upon the representation of the transferee in the form as set forth on the reverse of the Note that it is purchasing for its own
account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a “qualified institutional buyer” 

  
 41 

 
within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding Issuer as the
undersigned has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided
by Rule 144A; provided that no such written representation or other written certification shall be required in connection with the transfer of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to a transferee in the form of a beneficial
interest in that Rule 144A Global Note in accordance with this Indenture and the applicable procedures of DTC. 

(2) a registration of transfer of a Rule 144A Note or an Institutional Accredited Investor Note or a beneficial
interest therein to an Institutional Accredited Investor shall be made upon receipt by the Registrar of a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.07 from the proposed transferee and, if requested by Issuer, the delivery of
an Opinion of Counsel, certification and/or other information satisfactory to it; and 
 (3) a registration of
transfer of a Rule 144A Note or an Institutional Accredited Investor Note or a beneficial interest therein to a Non-U.S. Person shall be made upon receipt by the Registrar of a certificate substantially in the form set forth in
Section 2.08 from the proposed transferee and, if requested by Issuer, the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel, certification and/or other information satisfactory to it. 
 (c) Transfers of Regulations S Notes. The following provisions shall apply with respect to any proposed transfer of a Regulation S Note prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period: 

(1) a transfer of a Regulation S Note or a beneficial interest therein to a QIB shall be made upon the representation of
the transferee, in the form of assignment on the reverse of the certificate, that it is purchasing the Note for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a
“qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A, is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding Issuer as the undersigned has requested
pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A; 

(2) a transfer of a Regulation S Note or a beneficial interest therein to an Institutional Accredited Investor shall be
made upon receipt by the Registrar of a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.07 from the proposed transferee and, if requested by Issuer or the Trustee, the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certification and/or other
information satisfactory to each of them; and 
 (3) a transfer of a Regulation S Note or a beneficial interest
therein to a Non-U.S. Person shall be made upon receipt by the Registrar of a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.08 hereof from the proposed transferee and, if requested by Issuer, receipt by the Registrar of an
Opinion of Counsel, certification and/or other information satisfactory to Issuer. 

  
 42 

 After the expiration of the Restricted Period, interests in the Regulation S Note may be
transferred in accordance with applicable law without requiring the certification set forth in Section 2.07, Section 2.08 or any additional certification. 
 (d) Restricted Notes Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing a Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear a Restricted Notes Legend.
Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing a Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear a Restricted Notes Legend unless (i) Initial Notes are being exchanged for Exchange Notes in an exchange
offer pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, in which case the Exchange Notes shall not bear a Restricted Notes Legend, (ii) an Initial Note is being transferred pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or other effective
registration statement, (iii) Initial Notes are being exchanged for Notes that do not bear the Restricted Notes Legend in accordance with Section 2.06(e) or (iv) there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Issuer and the Trustee to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. Any Additional Notes sold in a registered
offering shall not be required to bear the Restricted Notes Legend. 
 (e) Automatic Exchange from Global Note Bearing
Restricted Notes Legend to Global Note Not Bearing Restricted Notes Legend. Upon Issuer’s satisfaction that the Restricted Notes Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, beneficial
interests in a Global Note bearing the Restricted Notes Legend (a “Restricted Global Note”) may be automatically exchanged into beneficial interests in a Global Note not bearing the Restricted Notes Legend (an “Unrestricted
Global Note”) without any action required by or on behalf of the Holder (the “Automatic Exchange”) at any time on or after the date that is the 366th calendar day after (A) with respect to the Notes issued on the Issue
Date or (B) with respect to Additional Notes, if any, the issue date of such Additional Notes, or, in each case, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (the “Automatic Exchange Date”). Upon
Issuer’s satisfaction that the Restricted Notes Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, Issuer may pursuant to the rules and procedures (i) provide written notice to DTC at least fifteen
(15) calendar days prior to the Automatic Exchange Date, instructing DTC to exchange all of the outstanding beneficial interests in a particular Restricted Global Note to the Unrestricted Global Note, which Issuer shall have previously
otherwise made eligible for exchange with the DTC, (ii) provide prior written notice (the “Automatic Exchange Notice”) to each Holder at such Holder’s address appearing in the register of Holders at least fifteen
(15) calendar days prior to the Automatic Exchange Date (the “Automatic Exchange Notice Date”), which notice must include (w) the Automatic Exchange Date, (x) the section of this Indenture pursuant to which the
Automatic Exchange shall occur, (y) the “CUSIP” number of the Restricted Global Note from which such Holder’s beneficial interests shall be transferred and the (z) “CUSIP” number of the Unrestricted Global Note
into which such Holder’s beneficial interests shall be transferred and (iii) on or prior to the Automatic Exchange Date, deliver to the Agent for authentication one or more Unrestricted Global Notes, duly executed by Issuer, in an
aggregate principal amount equal 

  
 43 

 
to the aggregate principal amount of Restricted Global Notes to be exchanged. At Issuer’s request on no less than five (5) calendar days’ notice prior to the Automatic Exchange
Notice Date, the Trustee with a copy to the Agent, shall deliver, in Issuer’s name and at its expense, the Automatic Exchange Notice to each Holder at such Holder’s address appearing in the register of Holders. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Section 2.06(e), during the fifteen (15) day period prior to the Automatic Exchange Date, no transfers or exchanges other than pursuant to this Section 2.06(e) shall be permitted without the prior written consent
of Issuer. As a condition to any Automatic Exchange, Issuer shall provide, and the Trustee and the Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, an Officers’ Certificate in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the Agent to the effect that the
Automatic Exchange shall be effected in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Restricted Notes Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act
and that the aggregate principal amount of the particular Restricted Global Note is to be transferred to the particular Unrestricted Global Note by adjustment made on the records of the Custodian to reflect the Automatic Exchange. Upon such exchange
of beneficial interests pursuant to this Section 2.06(e), the aggregate principal amount of the Global Notes shall be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Custodian to reflect the relevant increase or decrease in the
principal amount of such Global Note resulting from the applicable exchange. The Restricted Global Note from which beneficial interests are transferred pursuant to an Automatic Exchange shall be canceled following the Automatic Exchange. 

(f) Retention of Written Communications. The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written
communications received pursuant to Section 2.01 or this Section 2.06. Issuer shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable
prior written notice to the Registrar. 
 (g) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Notes. 

(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, Issuer shall, subject to the other terms and conditions of this
Article 2, execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes and Global Notes at the Registrar’s request. 
 (2) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange, but Issuer may require the Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax assessments or similar
governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.06, 2.07, 2.09, 3.06, 4.10, 4.14, or 9.05).

 (3) Issuer (and the Registrar) shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note
(A) for a period beginning (1) 15 days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redeem Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (2) 15 days before an interest payment date
and ending on such interest payment date or (B) called for redemption or tendered (and not withdrawn) for repurchase in connection with a Change of Control Offer, an Asset Disposition Offer or other tender offer, except the unredeemed or
untendered portion of any Note being redeemed or tendered in part. 

  
 44 

 (4) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note,
Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Note and
for all other purposes whatsoever, including without limitation the transfer or exchange of such Note, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the
contrary. 
 (5) Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to
Section 2.01(f) shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.06(d), bear the applicable legend regarding transfer restrictions applicable to the Definitive Note set forth in Section 2.01(d). 

(6) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt
and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 
 (h)
No Obligation of the Trustee. (1) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in, DTC or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC
or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any notice (including any
notice of redemption or purchase) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to
Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only
through DTC subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC. The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial
owners. 
 (1) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance
with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among DTC participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global
Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial
compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. The Trustee shall not have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by DTC.

 Upon

 Taxpayer ID Number:
                                     

The undersigned represents and warrants to you that: 
 1. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”))
purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000 principal amount of the Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with,
any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risk of our investment in the Notes and we invest in or purchase securities
similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We and any accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment. 
 2. We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and
on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is one year after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which Issuer or any affiliate
of Issuer was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) to Issuer or any Subsidiary thereof, (b) pursuant to an effective

reliance on Rule 144A, (d) pursuant to offers and sales to Non-U.S. Persons that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (e) to an institutional “accredited investor”
within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor,” in each case in a minimum principal
amount of Notes of $250,000 for investment purposes and not with a view to or for offer or sale in connection with any distribution in violation of the Securities Act or (f) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in
compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale shall not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to
clause (e) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to Issuer and the Registrar, which shall provide, among other things, that the
transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act) and that it is acquiring such Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in
violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that Issuer and the Registrar reserve the right prior to any offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clauses (d), (e) or
(f) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications and/or other information satisfactory to Issuer and the Trustee.

 7.125% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”) 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

In connection with our proposed sale of $[        ] aggregate principal amount of the Notes, we
confirm that such sale has been effected pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and, accordingly, we represent that:

 Very truly yours,

By:                      
                                   

                      
                                        

 Authorized Signature 
 Section 2.09 Replacement Notes. 
 If any mutilated Note is
surrendered to the Trustee or Issuer and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, Issuer will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement
Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and Issuer to protect Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any
authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. Issuer may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note. 
 Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of Issuer and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

 Section 2.10 Outstanding Notes. 
 The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note
effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.10 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in this Section 2.10, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because Issuer or an Affiliate
of Issuer holds the Note; however, Notes held by Issuer or a Subsidiary of Issuer shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(a) hereof. 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.

 If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and
interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) holds, on a redemption
date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest. 

  
 49 

 Section 2.11 Treasury Notes. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes
owned by Issuer or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with Issuer or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the
purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded. 

Section 2.12 Temporary Notes. 
 Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be
substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, Issuer will prepare and the Trustee will
authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 
 Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the
benefits of this Indenture. 
 Section 2.13 Cancellation. 

Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes
surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of canceled Notes
(subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

Section 2.14 Defaulted Interest. 
 If Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who
are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the
date of the proposed payment. Issuer will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At
least 15 days before the special record date, Issuer (or, upon the written request of Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of Issuer) will mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related
payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 
 Section 2.15 CUSIP, Common Code and ISIN Numbers.

 Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP,” “Common Code” and “ISIN” numbers and, if so, the
Trustee shall use “CUSIP,” “Common Code” and “ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption or purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice

  
 50 

 
may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption or purchase and that reliance may be
placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such CUSIP, Common Code and ISIN numbers. Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in
writing of any change in the CUSIP, Common Code and ISIN numbers. 
 ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT 
 Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee. 
 If Issuer elects to redeem
Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth: 

 

	 	(1)	the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur; 

 

	 	(2)	the redemption date; 

  

	 	(3)	the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; and 

  

	 	(4)	the redemption price. 

Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased. 

In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the
requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not listed, then on a pro rata basis (to the extent practicable), by lot or by such similar method in accordance with the
procedures of DTC. No Note of $2,000 in original principal amount or less will be redeemed in part. 
 In the event of partial
redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding
Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase. 
 Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or
whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed or purchased.
Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. 

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, Issuer will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice

  
 51 

 
of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address or otherwise delivered in accordance with the procedures of DTC, except that redemption notices may be mailed
more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 11 hereof. 

The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state: 

(1) the redemption date; 
 (2) the redemption price; 
 (3) if any Note is being redeemed in
part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the
original Note; 
 (4) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

(5) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; 

(6) that, unless Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to
accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (7) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture
pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and 
 (8) that no representation is made
as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. 
 At
Issuer’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that Issuer has delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date, an
Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. Notices of redemption may not be conditional. 

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 
 Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of
redemption may not be conditional. 
 Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. 

On or prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City Time on the Business Day prior to the redemption or purchase date, Issuer will deposit with the
Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest and Additional 

  
 52 

 
Interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by
Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. 

If Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to
accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall
be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of Issuer to
comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the
rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. 
 Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in
Part. 
 Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, Issuer will issue and, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. 

Section 3.07 Optional Redemption. 
 (a) At any time prior to December 15, 2014, Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture at a redemption price of
107.125% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to but excluding the redemption date, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
interest payment date, with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings; provided that: 
 (1)
at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes (which includes issued Additional Notes, if any) issued under this Indenture (excluding Notes held by Superior Energy and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence
of such redemption; and 
 (2) the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Public
Equity Offering. 
 (b) On or after December 15, 2016, Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 30
nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed to but excluding the applicable
redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on December 15 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date:

  
 53 

					
	 Year
	  	Percentage	 
	 2016
	  	 	103.563	% 
	 2017
	  	 	102.375	% 
	 2018
	  	 	101.188	% 
	 2019 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 At any time prior to December 15, 2016, Issuer may also redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued
and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to but excluding the applicable date of redemption, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. 

Unless Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for
redemption on the applicable redemption date. 
 (c) Except pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the Notes will not be
redeemable at Issuer’s option prior to December 15, 2016. 
 (d) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07
shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof. The redemption price shall be determined by the Issuer. 
 Section 3.08 Mandatory Redemption. 
 Except as set forth under
Section 3.10, Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. However, under the circumstances in Sections 4.10 and 4.14 hereof, Issuer may be required to offer to purchase the Notes.
Issuer may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of this Indenture. 
 Section 3.09 Offer to Purchase by Application of Net Available Cash. 
 In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, Issuer is required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an “Asset Disposition Offer”), it will follow the
procedures specified below. 
 The Asset Disposition Offer shall be made to all Holders and, to the extent required under the
terms of outstanding pari passu Indebtedness of Issuer, to the holders of such other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase
or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets. The Asset Disposition Offer will remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is
required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than three Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), Issuer will apply all Net Available Cash (the “Offer
Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (on a pro 

  
 54 

 
rata basis, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Disposition Offer. Payment for any Notes so
purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. 
 If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest
record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no
additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer. 
 Upon the
commencement of an Asset Disposition Offer, Issuer will send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders
to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Disposition Offer, will state: 
 (1) that the Asset Disposition Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of time the Asset Disposition Offer will remain open; 

(2) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date; 

(3) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest; 

(4) that, unless Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Disposition
Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date; 
 (5) that Holders electing to have a Note
purchased pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof only; 
 (6) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Disposition Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase”
attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to Issuer, DTC, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date; 

(7) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if Issuer, DTC or the Paying Agent, as the case may be,
receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such
Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; 
 (8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of
Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, Issuer will select the Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis

  
 55 

 
based on the principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by Issuer so that only Notes in denominations of
$2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased); and 
 (9) that Holders whose Notes
were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer). 
 On or before the Purchase Date, Issuer will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the
Asset Disposition Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes
or portions thereof were accepted for payment by Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. Issuer, DTC or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date)
mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by Issuer for purchase, and Issuer will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from Issuer,
will authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or
delivered by Issuer to the Holder thereof. Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Asset Disposition Offer on the Purchase Date. 
 Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof. 

Section 3.10 Special Mandatory Redemption. 
 All of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes shall be subject to mandatory redemption by the Issuer if (i) the Merger Agreement has been terminated or (ii) the Acquisition has
not been completed on or before May 31, 2012 (each, a “Special Mandatory Redemption Event”), at a redemption price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes, to but not including, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined below). 
 If a Special Mandatory Redemption Event occurs, the Issuer shall cause a notice of a Special Mandatory Redemption (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Notice”) in the form of Exhibit D
hereto to be delivered to the Trustee within three Business Days following the occurrence of such Special Mandatory Redemption Event. Concurrently with the delivery of the Special Mandatory Redemption Notice, the Issuer shall request the Trustee to,
at the Issuer’s expense, mail (by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC) a notice, which shall be delivered to the Trustee with the Special Mandatory Redemption Notice,
setting forth (i) that a Special Mandatory Redemption Event has occurred, (ii) the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (which shall be no later than 5 Business Days after the request to the Trustee to deliver such notice to the Holders of
the Special 

  
 56 

 
Mandatory Redemption Event), (iii) the Special Mandatory Redemption Price (inclusive of accrued interest through but not including Special Mandatory Redemption Date), (iv) the name and
address of the Paying Agent and (v) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. Within three Business Days after the Trustee’s mailing of such
notice of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event, the Issuer shall perform the Special Mandatory Redemption (the date of such redemption, the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”) and shall pay to the Paying Agent, at or prior to 11:00
a.m. (New York City time) on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, cash sufficient to permit all outstanding Notes to be redeemed on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price.

COVENANTS 

Section 4.01 Payment of Notes. 
 Issuer will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes. Principal, premium,
if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the due date money deposited by Issuer
in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due. Issuer will pay all Additional Interest, if any, in the same manner on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the

 Issuer will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to 1% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. 
 Issuer will
maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon
Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time Issuer fails to maintain any such
required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 

Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any
or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

 Issuer hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or
agency of Issuer in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof.

(a) Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, Superior Energy will furnish
(without exhibits) to the Holders or cause the Trustee to furnish to the Holders, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations: 
 (1) all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if Superior Energy were required to file reports; and 

(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if Superior Energy were required to
file such reports. 
 All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and
regulations applicable to such reports. Each annual report on Form 10-K will include a report on Superior Energy’s consolidated financial statements by Superior Energy’s certified independent accountants. In addition, Superior Energy will
file a copy of each of the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations applicable to such reports (unless the SEC will not accept such
a filing) and will post the reports on its website within those time periods. Issuer will at all times comply with TIA § 314(a). 
 Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information
contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 

If, at any time, Superior Energy is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, Superior
Energy will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in the preceding paragraphs with the SEC within the time periods specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. Superior Energy will not take any action for the purpose of
causing the SEC not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept Superior Energy’s filings for any reason, Superior Energy will post the reports referred to in the preceding paragraphs on its website
within the time periods that would apply if Superior Energy were required to file those reports with the SEC.

as any Notes remain outstanding, if at any time they are not required to file with the SEC the reports required by paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 4.03, Issuer and the Guarantors will furnish to the Holders and to securities
analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

days after the end of each fiscal year (commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011), an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of Issuer and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been
made under the supervision of the signing Officer with a view to determining whether Issuer has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that
to the best of his or her knowledge Issuer has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this
Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of
his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action
Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 (b) So long as not contrary to the then current recommendations of
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the year-end financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.03 above shall be accompanied by a written statement of Superior Energy’s independent public accountants (who shall
be a firm of established national reputation) that in making the examination necessary for certification of such financial statements, nothing has come to their attention that would lead them to believe that Superior Energy has violated any
provisions of Article 4 or Article 5 hereof or, if any such violation has occurred, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof, it being understood that such accountants shall not be liable directly or indirectly to any Person for any
failure to obtain knowledge of any such violation. 
 (c) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, Issuer will deliver to
the Trustee, forthwith, and in any event not later than 10 days after any Officer becomes aware of any event that this giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would become a Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying
such Default or Event of Default and what action Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 Section 4.05
Taxes. 
 Issuer will pay, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material
taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders. 

Section 4.06 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 
 Issuer and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage
of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and Issuer and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby

 Section 4.07 Limitation on Restricted
Payments. 
 (a) Each of Superior Energy and Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly
or indirectly, to make a Restricted Payment if at the time Superior Energy, Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary makes such Restricted Payment:

the sum of (without duplication):

its Subsidiaries for the benefit of their employees) or the fair market value of the consideration (if other than cash) from such issue or sale of Capital Stock and 100% of any capital cash contribution received by Superior Energy from its
stockholders subsequent to May 2, 2001; plus

of any other property, distributed by Superior Energy upon such conversion or exchange); plus 

  
 60 

 (D) an amount equal to the sum of (i) the net reduction in the
Investments (other than Permitted Investments) made by Superior Energy, Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in any Person resulting from repurchases, repayments or redemptions of such Investments by such Person, proceeds realized on the sale of such

(ii) to the extent such Person is an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the portion (proportionate to Issuer’s equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the fair market value of the net assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time such
Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the foregoing sum shall not exceed, in the case of any such Person or Unrestricted Subsidiary, the amount of Investments (excluding Permitted Investments)

be excluded from the calculation of amounts under clause (3)(B) of paragraph (a) above; 
 (2) any
purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Obligations made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Refinancing Indebtedness which is permitted

 (3) any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Disqualified Stock
of Issuer, Superior Energy or any Restricted Subsidiary made by exchange for, or out of the Net Cash Proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Disqualified Stock of Issuer, Superior Energy or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be,
so long as such refinancing Disqualified Stock is permitted to be Incurred pursuant to the Section 4.09 and constitutes Refinancing Indebtedness; provided, however, that such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other
acquisition or retirement shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

or contributions shall be excluded from the calculation of amounts under clause (c)(ii) of paragraph (1) above), and (iii) the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by Issuer, Superior Energy or their Restricted
Subsidiaries after the Issue Date; provided, further, however, that such repurchases and other acquisitions shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

provided, however, that such amounts shall be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments; 

(9) repurchase of Capital Stock deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options if such Capital Stock represents a
portion of the exercise price thereof; provided, however, that such repurchases shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments; 
 (10) redemption of the Existing Exchangeable Securities and the Complete Existing Securities in accordance with the indentures governing such Indebtedness provided, however, that such redemptions shall be

of the amount of Restricted Payments. 
 The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the fair market value
on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by Superior Energy, Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair market value of any
assets or securities that are required to be valued by this Section 4.07 will be determined by the Board of Directors of Superior Energy whose resolution with respect thereto will be delivered to the Trustee.

 Section 4.08 Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted
Subsidiaries. 
 (a) Each of Superior Energy and Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to,
create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to 
 (1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to Superior Energy, Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by,
its profits, or pay any Indebtedness or other obligations owed to Superior Energy, Issuer or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries (it being understood that the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior
to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on Common Stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock); 
 (2) make any loans or advances to Superior Energy, Issuer or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to Superior Energy, Issuer or any
Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness Incurred by Superior Energy, Issuer or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or 

(3) sell, lease or transfer any of its property or assets to Superior Energy, Issuer or any of their Restricted
Subsidiaries (it being understood that such transfers shall not include any type of transfer described in clause (1) or (2) above).

referenced in clause (ii) of the definition of “Credit Agreement”; 
 (2) any encumbrance or
restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to an agreement relating to any Indebtedness Incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary on or prior to the date on which such Restricted Subsidiary was acquired by Superior Energy or Issuer,
as the case may be (other than Indebtedness Incurred as consideration in, or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate, the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Restricted
Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by Issuer), and outstanding on such date; 
 (3) any
encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement effecting a Refinancing of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clause (1) or (2) of this Section 4.08(b) or this clause (3) or contained in any
amendment to an agreement referred to in clause (1) or (2) of this Section 4.08(b) or this clause (3); provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary contained in any
such refinancing agreement or amendment are no more restrictive than the encumbrances and restrictions with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary contained in such predecessor agreements; 

  
 64 

 (4) any such encumbrance or restriction consisting of customary
non-assignment provisions in leases governing leasehold interests to the extent such provisions restrict the transfer of the lease or the property leased thereunder; 

(5) in the case of clause (3) of Section 4.08(a) hereof, restrictions contained in security agreements or
mortgages securing Indebtedness of Superior Energy, Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent such restrictions restrict the transfer of the property subject to such security agreements or mortgages; 

(6) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, limited
liability agreements, joint operating agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business, which limitation is applicable only to the assets
that are the subject of such agreements; 
 (7) restrictions imposed by customers on cash or other amounts
deposited by them pursuant to contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

Superior Energy, Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (10) encumbrances and restrictions contained in
contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business, not relating to any Indebtedness, and that do not, individually or in the aggregate, detract from the value of, or from the ability of Superior Energy, Issuer and their Restricted
Subsidiaries to realize the value of, property or assets of Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in any manner material to Superior Energy, Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; 

(11) encumbrances or restrictions contained in, or in respect of, Hedging Obligations permitted under this Indenture from
time to time; 
 (12) encumbrances or restrictions contained in agreements related to Secured Indebtedness
otherwise permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09 and any corresponding Liens permitted to be Incurred under the provisions of Section 4.12 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens; and

 (13) other Indebtedness Incurred or Preferred Stock issued by a Guarantor in accordance with Section 4.09
that, in the good faith judgment of Senior Management, are not more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those applicable to Issuer or Superior Energy in this Indenture or the Credit Agreement on the Issue Date (which results in encumbrances or
restrictions at a Restricted Subsidiary level comparable to those applicable to Issuer) or (y) other Indebtedness Incurred or Preferred Stock issued by a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, in each case permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the Issue

  
 65 

 
Date pursuant to Section 4.09; provided that with respect to clause (y), such encumbrances or restrictions will not materially affect Issuer’s ability to make anticipated
principal and interest payments on the Notes (in the good faith judgment of Senior Management). 
 (c) Superior Energy will not
create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on its ability to (i) make capital contributions or other Investments in Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or pay any Indebtedness owed
to Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) make any loans or advances to Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or (iii) transfer any of its property or assets to Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, except: 

(1) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to any Debt Facilities and any other agreement in effect at or entered into on
the Issue Date, as well as the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement referenced in clause (ii) of the definition of “Credit Agreement”; and 
 (2) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement effecting a Refinancing of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in the immediately preceding clause (1) of this
Section 4.08(c) or this clause (2) or contained in any amendment to an agreement referred to in the immediately preceding clause (1) of this Section 4.08(c) of this clause (2); provided, however, that the encumbrances and
restrictions with respect to Superior Energy contained in any such refinancing agreement or amendment are no more restrictive in any material respect than the encumbrances and restrictions with respect to Superior Energy contained in such
predecessor agreements. 
 Section 4.09 Limitation on Indebtedness. 

(a) Each of Superior Energy and Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur, directly or indirectly, any
Indebtedness; provided, however, that Superior Energy, Issuer and any Subsidiary Guarantor may Incur Indebtedness if, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which consolidated financial statements of
Superior Energy and its Subsidiaries have been provided to the Holders pursuant to this Indenture immediately preceding the date of such Incurrence would have exceeded 2.0 to 1 and no Default would have occurred and be continuing, in each case
determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been Incurred at the beginning of such four quarter period. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph (a), so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, Superior Energy, Issuer and their
Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur, to the extent provided below, the following Indebtedness: 
 (1) Indebtedness
Incurred by Superior Energy, Issuer and any Subsidiary Guarantor under Debt Facilities; provided, however, that after giving effect to such Incurrence, the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness Incurred under this clause
(1) (with letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances, if any, being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of Issuer thereunder) and then 

  
 66 

 
outstanding does not exceed the greater of (A) $1.2 billion and (B) the amount equal to 27.5% of Consolidated Tangible Assets as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which
consolidated financial statements of Superior Energy and its Subsidiaries have been provided to the Holders pursuant to this Indenture immediately preceding the date of such Incurrence; 

(2) the Incurrence by Superior Energy, Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of intercompany Indebtedness between or among
Superior Energy, Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that: 
 (a) if Issuer is the obligor on
Indebtedness owing to a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the Notes; 

(b) if a Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary is the obligee, such Indebtedness is
expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor; and 
 (c)(i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Capital Stock that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than Superior Energy, Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) any
sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not Superior Energy, Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an Incurrence of such Indebtedness by Superior Energy, Issuer or such
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (2); 
 (3) Indebtedness
consisting of the Notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued on the date of this Indenture and the Exchange Notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement; 

(4) Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date (other than Indebtedness described in clause (1), (2) or (3) of
this paragraph (b)); 
 (5) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary Incurred and outstanding on or prior to the
date on which such Subsidiary was acquired by Superior Energy or Issuer, as the case may be (other than Indebtedness Incurred in connection with, or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate, the transaction
or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Subsidiary became a Subsidiary or was acquired by Superior Energy or Issuer, as the case may be); provided, however, that on the date of such acquisition and after giving pro
forma effect thereto, either (1) Issuer would have been able to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 4.09; or (2) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio is higher than immediately
prior to such acquisition; 
 (6) Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to
paragraph (a) or pursuant to clause (3), (4) or (5) of this paragraph (b) or this clause (6); provided, however, that to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness directly or indirectly Refinances Indebtedness of a Subsidiary
Incurred pursuant to clause (5) of this paragraph (b), such Refinancing Indebtedness shall be Incurred only by such Subsidiary; 

  
 67 

 (7) Hedging Obligations entered into in the ordinary course of business of
Superior Energy, Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and not for speculative purposes; 
 (8) Indebtedness
Incurred solely in respect of banker’s acceptances, letters of credit, performance and surety bonds, insurance contracts and completion guarantees and other reimbursement obligations (to the extent that such Incurrence does not result in the
Incurrence of any obligation for the payment of borrowed money of others), in each case Incurred in the ordinary course of business; 
 (9) the Incurrence by Superior Energy, Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case,
Incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the acquisition or cost of design, construction, installation, improvement or the carrying cost of assets used in the business of Superior Energy, Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, whether
through the direct purchase of assets or the Capital Stock of any Person owning such assets, in an aggregate principal amount, including all Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any
Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (9), not to exceed the greater of (A) $200.0 million or (B) 4.5% of Consolidated Tangible Assets as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which consolidated financial statements of
Superior Energy and its Subsidiaries have been provided to the Holders pursuant to this Indenture immediately preceding the date of such Incurrence (or the equivalent thereof, measured at the time of each Incurrence, in applicable foreign currency)
at any time outstanding; 
 (10) Indebtedness arising from any agreement providing for indemnities, Guarantees,
purchase price adjustments, holdbacks, contingency payment obligations based on the performance of the acquired or disposed assets or similar obligations (other than Guarantees of Indebtedness) Incurred by any Person in connection with the
acquisition or disposition of assets; 
 (11) in-kind obligations relating to net oil or natural gas balancing
positions arising in the ordinary course of business; 
 (12) the guarantee by Issuer or any of the Guarantors of
Indebtedness of Superior Energy, Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that was permitted to be Incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with
the Notes or the relevant Note Guarantee, then the Guarantee shall be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed; 

(13) the Incurrence by Foreign Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding
pursuant to this clause (13), including all Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (13), not to exceed the

  
 68 

 
greater of (A) $150.0 million and (B) the amount equal to 20% of Foreign Subsidiary Total Tangible Assets as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which consolidated
financial statements of Superior Energy and its Subsidiaries have been provided to the Holders pursuant to this Indenture immediately preceding the date of such Incurrence (or the equivalent thereof, measured at the time of each Incurrence, in
applicable foreign currency); and 
 (14) Indebtedness of Superior Energy, Issuer and any Restricted Subsidiary
in an aggregate principal amount which, together with all other Indebtedness of such Persons outstanding on the date of such Incurrence (other than Indebtedness permitted by clauses (1) through (13) of this Section 4.09(b) or
Section 4.09(a)) does not exceed $150.0 million. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Superior Energy and Issuer
will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, Incur any Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.09(b) if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or indirectly, to Refinance any Subordinated Obligations of Superior Energy, Issuer or any
Subsidiary Guarantor unless such Indebtedness shall be subordinated to the Notes or the relevant Note Guarantee, as applicable, to at least the same extent as such Subordinated Obligations. 

(d) Each of Superior Energy and Issuer will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to Incur any Indebtedness (including
indebtedness permitted to be Incurred by Section 4.09(b)) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Issuer or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of
payment to the Notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Issuer or such
Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a first or junior Lien basis. 
 (e) For purposes
of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted debt described in clauses (1) through (14) of this
Section 4.09(b), or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a), Issuer will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its Incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in
any manner that complies with this Section 4.09; provided that all Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date under the Credit Agreement after giving effect to the application of the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes, and all
Indebtedness (or the portion thereof) Incurred under Section 4.09(b)(1) shall be deemed Incurred under Section 4.09(b)(1) and not Section 4.09(a) or Section 4.09(b)(4) of this covenant and may not later be reclassified. The
accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a
change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock
for purposes of this Section 4.09. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that Superior Energy, Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall
not be deemed to be exceeded 

  
 69 

 
solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency
from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 

(f) The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be: 

(1) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

 (2) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and 

(3) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

 (a) the fair market value of such assets at the date of determination; and 

(b) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person. 

Section 4.10 Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock. 

(a) Each of Superior Energy and Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any
Asset Disposition unless: 
 (1) Superior Energy, Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be,
receives consideration at the time of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the fair market value (including as to the value of all non-cash consideration) as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Superior Energy, an Officer of
Superior Energy, an Officer of Issuer or an Officer of such Restricted Subsidiary with responsibility for such transaction, which determination shall be conclusive evidence of compliance with this provision, of the shares and assets subject to such
Asset Disposition; 
 (2) in the case of an Asset Disposition for consideration exceeding $50.0 million, the fair
market value is determined, in good faith, by the Board of Directors of Superior Energy, and evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors of Superior Energy set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee; 

(3) either (a) at least 75% of the consideration thereof received by Superior Energy, Issuer or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Temporary Cash Investments or (b) the fair market value (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received without giving
effect to subsequent changes in value) of all forms of consideration other than cash or Temporary Cash Investments received for all Asset Dispositions since the Issue Date does not exceed in the aggregate an amount equal to 10% of Consolidated
Tangible Assets at the time each determination is made; and 

  
 70 

 (4) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset
Disposition is applied by Superior Energy, Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, within 365 days after its receipt, at its option: 
 (A) to repay Secured Indebtedness under a Debt Facility; 
 (B) to
acquire Additional Assets or to make capital expenditures in a Related Business; and 
 (C) to the extent of the
balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with clauses (A) and (B), to make an offer to the Holders (and to holders of other Indebtedness of Issuer that is pari passu with the Notes) to purchase Notes (and such
other Indebtedness of Issuer) pursuant to and subject to the conditions contained in this Indenture; 
 provided, however, that in
connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to clause (A) or (C) above, Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary shall permanently retire such Indebtedness and shall cause the related loan commitment, if any,
to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased. Pending application of Net Available Cash pursuant to this Section 4.10, such Net Available Cash shall be invested in Temporary Cash
Investments or used to reduce loans outstanding under any revolving credit facility existing under a Debt Facility. 
 For the
purposes of this Section 4.10, the following are deemed to be cash or Temporary Cash Investments: (i) the assumption of Obligations of Superior Energy, Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any of their Subordinated Obligations)
and the release of Superior Energy, Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from all liability on such Obligations in connection with such Asset Disposition, (ii) any securities received by Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary
from the transferee that are promptly converted by Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days after the receipt thereof (to the extent of cash received) and (iii) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by Superior
Energy, Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Disposition having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (iii) that is at that time outstanding,
not to exceed the greater of (x) $60.0 million and (y) 1.5% of Consolidated Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration
being measured at the time received without giving effect to subsequent changes in value). 
 The requirement of
Section 4.10(a)(4) shall be deemed to be satisfied if an agreement (including a lease) committing to make the acquisitions or expenditures referred to therein is entered into by Superior Energy, Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary within the time
period specified in such clause and such Net Available Cash is subsequently applied in accordance with such agreement within six months following such agreement. 
 Any Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions that is not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.10(a)(4)(A) or (B) within the time period set forth therein will be deemed to constitute
“Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $60.0 

  
 71 

 
million, Issuer will make an Asset Disposition Offer to all Holders and, to the extent required under the terms of outstanding pari passu Indebtedness of Issuer, to the holders of such
outstanding pari passu Indebtedness, to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness of Issuer in an amount equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof at a purchase price of
100% of their principal amount (or, in the event such other pari passu Indebtedness of Issuer was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), without premium, plus accrued but unpaid interest and Additional
Interest (or, in respect of such other pari passu Indebtedness of Issuer, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Indebtedness of Issuer) to but excluding the purchase date in accordance with the procedures set forth
in Section 3.09. Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to such Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition by making an offer with respect to such Net Available Cash prior to the expiration of the application period.

 To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such pari passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset
Disposition Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to compliance with other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or
the pari passu Indebtedness surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee or the applicable Registrar shall select the Notes and Issuer or agent for such pari passu Indebtedness shall select
such pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount (or accreted value) of the Notes or such pari passu Indebtedness tendered. Upon completion of any such Asset Disposition Offer, the amount
of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 
 Each of Superior Energy and Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the
requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof and this Section 4.10. To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of Section 3.09 hereof and this Section 4.10, each of Superior Energy and Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have
breached its obligations under Section 3.09 hereof and this Section 4.10 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations. Upon the occurrence of an Investment Grade Rating Event, this Section 4.10 will cease to
apply to Issuer and will no longer have effect. 
 Section 4.11 Limitation on Affiliate Transactions.

 (a) Each of Superior Energy and Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into or permit to
exist any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property, employee compensation arrangements or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of Issuer or Superior Energy (an
“Affiliate Transaction”) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate consideration in excess of $5 million unless: 
 (1) the terms of the Affiliate Transaction are no less favorable to Superior Energy, Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained at the time of the Affiliate Transaction in
arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not an Affiliate; and 

  
 72 

 (2) Issuer delivers to the trustee: 

(i) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate
consideration in excess of at least $20 million but equal to or less than $40 million, an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) above; and 

(ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate
consideration in excess of $40 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of Superior Energy set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) above and that such Affiliate
Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of its Board of Directors. 
 (b) The provisions of
Section 4.11(a) will not prohibit: 
 (1) a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment, in each case
permitted to be made pursuant to Section 4.07 hereof. 
 (2) any employment, equity award, equity option or
equity appreciation agreement or plan, agreement or other similar compensation plan entered into by Superior Energy, Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business; 

(3) loans or advances to officers, directors and employees for moving, entertainment and travel expense, drawing accounts
and similar expenditures for other business purposes, in each case, in the ordinary course of business of Superior Energy, Issuer or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(4) maintenance in the ordinary course of business of customary benefit programs or arrangements for employees, officers
or directors, including health and life insurance plans, deferred compensation plans and retirement or savings and similar plans; 
 (5) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date, as these agreements may be amended, modified, supplemented, extended or renewed from time to time, so long as any such amendment, modification,
supplement, extension or renewal is not more disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect in the good faith judgment of Senior Management (except to the extent the arrangement is valued in excess of $40.0 million, in which case, in the
good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of Superior Energy), when taken as a whole, than the terms of the agreements in effect on the Issue Date; 
 (6) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of the business of Superior Energy, Issuer
and their Restricted Subsidiaries and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture; provided that in the reasonable 

  
 73 

 
determination of Senior Management (except to the extent the arrangement is valued in excess of $40.0 million, in which case, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of Superior
Energy), such transactions are on terms that are no less favorable to Superior Energy, Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could have been obtained at the time of such transactions in a comparable transaction by Superior
Energy, Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; 
 (7) any transaction with a Restricted
Subsidiary or joint venture or similar entity (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) which would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because Superior Energy, Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls
such Restricted Subsidiary, joint venture or similar entity; 
 (8) reasonable fees and reasonable compensation
paid to, and indemnity and similar arrangements provided on behalf of, officers, directors and employees of Superior Energy, Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent such fees and compensation are reasonable and customary; 

(9) any Affiliate Transaction between Issuer and a Restricted Subsidiary or between Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(10) the issuance or sale of any Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of Superior Energy; and 

(11) transactions where the rates or charges involved, and related terms of payment, are determined by competitive bids
and the interest of the Affiliate arises solely from such Person’s status as a non-employee member of the Board of Directors of Superior Energy and which otherwise comply with clauses (1) and (2), as applicable, of the preceding paragraph
(a). 
 Section 4.12 Limitation on Liens. 

Each of Superior Energy and Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, Incur or permit to
exist any Lien securing any Indebtedness of any kind except for Permitted Liens of any nature whatsoever on any of its properties or assets (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired,
which Lien is securing Indebtedness, unless contemporaneously with the Incurrence of such Liens: 
 (1) in the
case of Liens securing Subordinated Obligations, the Notes and related Note Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; or 

(2) in all other cases, the Notes and related Note Guarantees are equally and ratably secured or are secured by a Lien on
such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens. 

  
 74 

 Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to the preceding sentence shall
provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of each of the Liens described in clauses (1) and (2) above. 

Section 4.13 Corporate Existence. 
 (a) Subject to Article 5 hereof, Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect: 

(1) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance
with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of Issuer or any such Subsidiary; and 
 (2) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of Issuer and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or
the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Indenture, prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which the Acquisition is consummated in accordance with the Merger Agreement or (ii) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms and
Notes are redeemed by the Issuer pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof, Superior Energy (i) shall not permit the Issuer to, and the Issuer shall not, undertake any business activities other than those of a finance Subsidiary (which for the
avoidance of doubt shall be limited to holding the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and fees and expenses from the issuance, until such funds are applied towards the
purchase price for the Acquisition and any activities incidental thereto) and (ii) other than Investments in Temporary Cash Investments, shall not permit the Issuer to, and the Issuer shall not, consummate any acquisition or divestiture nor
make any Investment or Restricted Payment, nor Incur or Guarantee any Indebtedness whatsoever, nor shall the Issuer prepay, defease, redeem or otherwise retire for value any Indebtedness (irrespective of whether any of the foregoing transactions
would be permitted under Sections 4.07 or 4.09 hereof or the definition of “Permitted Investment” or any other provision of this Indenture). Upon the consummation of the Acquisition, this Section 4.13(b) shall automatically and
without any action by any of the parties hereto, cease to be of any force or effect. 
 Section 4.14 Offer to Repurchase
Upon Change of Control. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each a “Change of
Control”), each Holder shall have the right to require that Issuer repurchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Additional Interest, if any, to but excluding the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date): 

(1) any “person” (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the beneficial
owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of Superior Energy or Issuer; 

  
 75 

 (2) individuals who on the Issue Date constituted the Board of Directors of
Superior Energy together with any new directors whose election by such Board of Directors or whose nomination for election by the stockholders of Superior Energy, as the case may be, was approved by a vote of majority of the directors of Superior
Energy then still in office who were either directors on the Issue Date or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors then in office; 

(3) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of either Issuer or Superior Energy; 

(4) the merger or consolidation of Issuer or Superior Energy, as the case may be, with or into another Person or the
merger of another Person with or into Issuer or Superior Energy, as the case may be, other than a transaction following which, in the case of a merger or consolidation transaction, securities that represented 100% of the Voting Stock of Issuer or
Superior Energy, as the case may be, immediately prior to such transaction (or other securities into which such securities are converted as part of such merger or consolidation transaction) constitute at least a majority of the voting power of the
Voting Stock of the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation transaction; or 
 (5) the direct or
indirect sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all the assets of Issuer or Superior Energy and their
respective Subsidiaries taken as a whole, as the case may be (in each case, determined on a consolidated basis) to another Person. 
 (b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, Issuer will mail a notice to each Holder or otherwise give notice in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, with a copy to the Trustee (the
“Change of Control Offer”) stating: 
 (1) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such
Holder has the right to require us to purchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to but
excluding the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”) (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date); 

(2) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control (including information with respect to pro forma
historical income, cash flow and capitalization after giving effect to such Change of Control); 
 (3) the
purchase date (which shall be no earlier than 10 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 

  
 76 

 (4) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest; 

(5) that, unless Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant
to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (6)
that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by
book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(7) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of
business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that
such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and 
 (8) that Holders whose Notes are
being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof. 
 Issuer will comply with the requirements of Section 14(e) under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws
and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change in Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict
with the provisions of Section 4.10 hereof or this Section 4.14, Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.14 by virtue of such
compliance. 
 (c) On the Change of Control Payment Date, Issuer will, to the extent lawful: 

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (of $2,000 or larger integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof)

any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any
accrued and unpaid interest to the Change of Control Payment Date will be paid on the relevant interest payment date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date. 

(d) Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the
Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under
such Change of Control Offer or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a
Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer. 

(e) The provisions described in this Section 4.14 may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes.

Section 4.16 Reserved. 
 Section 4.17 Payments for Consent. 
 Issuer will not and
Superior Energy will not, and will not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment

who, upon request, confirm that they are “qualified institutional buyers,” and consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement to amend. 

Section 4.18 Future Guarantors. 
 Superior Energy and Issuer will cause each Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a borrower under the Credit Agreement or that Guarantees, on the Issue Date or any time thereafter, the Obligations under the
Credit Agreement or any other Indebtedness of Issuer or any Guarantor to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture to this Indenture pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will irrevocably and unconditionally Guarantee, on a
joint and several basis, the full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) in respect of the Notes on a senior basis and all

  
 78 

 
other Obligations under this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Superior Energy and Issuer shall not be required to cause Merger Sub (as the surviving corporation following the
consummation of the Acquisition) and any of the Restricted Subsidiaries acquired by Superior Energy as a result of the Acquisition which will be required to Guarantee the Obligations under this Indenture by virtue of this Section 4.18 to comply
with this Section 4.18 until the expiration of 15 days following the consummation of the Acquisition. 
 Section 4.19
Termination of Covenants when Notes Rated Investment Grade. From and after the occurrence of an Investment Grade Rating Event, Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.17, 4.18, 5.01 (other than Section 5.01(a)(1) and
5.01(b)(1)) and Section 6.01(7) will cease to apply to each of Superior Energy, Issuer and their Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and will no longer have effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the occurrence of an
Investment Grade Rating Event, the remaining covenants and agreements contained herein will continue to apply to each of Superior Energy, Issuer and their Restricted Subsidiaries and Section 4.20 hereof will apply to Superior Energy, Issuer and
their Restricted Subsidiaries and become effective upon the occurrence of such an Investment Grade Rating Event. For the avoidance of doubt, such covenants and provisions shall not be reinstated even if the Notes are subsequently assigned a rating
below an Investment Grade Rating by either or both Rating Agencies. 
 Section 4.20 Limitation on Secured Indebtedness
when Notes Rated Investment Grade 
 Upon the occurrence of an Investment Grade Rating Event, this Section 4.20 will
apply to Superior Energy, Issuer and their Subsidiaries and become effective upon the occurrence of such an Investment Grade Rating Event: 
 (a) If Superior Energy, Issuer or any Subsidiary Incurs any Secured Indebtedness (other than Investment Grade Rating Event Permitted Liens), Superior Energy, Issuer or such Subsidiary, as the case may be,
will secure the notes equally and ratably with (or, at its option, prior to) the Indebtedness so secured until such time as such Indebtedness is no longer secured by a Lien; or 

(b) if any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary Incurs or Guarantees any Indebtedness of any kind (with the exception of the Incurrence of
Indebtedness (other than a Guarantee of Indebtedness of Superior Energy, Issuer or a Domestic Subsidiary) by a Foreign Subsidiary), such Subsidiary will guarantee the Notes on a full and unconditional senior basis, 

unless, in the case of clause (a), the aggregate amount of all Secured Indebtedness and the Attributable Debt of all Sale/Leaseback Transactions and, in
the case of clause (b), Indebtedness so Incurred or Guaranteed by a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary would not exceed, in the aggregate, 12.5% of Consolidated Tangible Assets (such calculation to exclude from the numerator any Indebtedness secured by
Investment Grade Rating Event Permitted Liens). 
 Promptly upon the occurrence of an Investment Grade Rating Event, the Issuer shall deliver an
Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee which notifies the Trustee of such Investment Grade Rating Event, and sets forth the provisions under this Indenture which cease to apply to any such Person. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon such
Officers’ Certificate until it has received notice to the contrary.

that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, transfer, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the “Issuer” shall 

  
 81 

 
refer instead to the Successor Issuer and not to Issuer), and may exercise every right and power of Issuer under this Indenture with the same effect as if such Successor Issuer had been named as
Issuer herein; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes except in the case of a sale of all of Issuer’s assets in a transaction that is subject

Energy, Issuer or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of this Indenture, if that default: 

(A) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Indebtedness which aggregates
$30.0 million or more prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or 

(B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity;

  
 82 

 and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the
principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $30.0 million or more, provided that in connection with any series of the Convertible
Notes, (a) any conversion of such Indebtedness by a holder thereof into shares of Common Stock, cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, (b) the rights of holders of such Indebtedness to convert into shares of Common
Stock, cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock and (c) the rights of holders of such Indebtedness to require any repurchase by Superior Energy or Issuer of such Indebtedness in cash upon a fundamental change shall not, in
itself, constitute an Event of Default under this clause (6); 
 (7) any judgment or decree for the payment of
money in excess of $30.0 million (excluding amounts covered by reputable and creditworthy insurance companies) is entered against Issuer, Superior Energy or a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary, remains outstanding for a period of 60 consecutive days following such judgment and is not discharged, waived or stayed within 10 days after notice; or 

(8) Superior Energy, Issuer or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law: 
 (A) commences a voluntary case; 
 (B) consents to the entry of an
order for relief against it in an involuntary case; 
 (C) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or
for all or substantially all of its property; 
 (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;
or 
 (E) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; 

(9) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 

(A) is for relief against Superior Energy, Issuer or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary
or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; 
 (B) appoints a custodian of Superior Energy, Issuer or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute
a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of Superior Energy, Issuer or any of their 

  
 83 

 
Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or 

(C) orders the liquidation of Superior Energy, Issuer or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant
Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; 
 and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or 
 (10) except as permitted by this Indenture or the Note Guarantee, any Note Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and
effect (other than in accordance with the terms of the Note Guarantee), or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee. 

However, a default under clauses (4), (5), (7) and (10) above will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify Issuer, Superior Energy or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, of the default and Issuer, Superior Energy or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the
case may be, does not cure such default within the time specified after receipt of such notice. 
 Section 6.02
Acceleration. 
 In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (8) or (9) of Section 6.01
hereof, with respect to Superior Energy, Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become
due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to
be due and payable immediately. 
 Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. 

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of
all of the Holders, rescind an acceleration and its consequences, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium or Additional Interest, if
any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 
 Section 6.03 Other
Remedies. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect
the payment of principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in
exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 

  
 84 

 Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of
the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, or interest
on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences,
including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture;
but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 6.05
Control by Majority. 
 Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it, subject to 7.02(e). However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that
conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 
 Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. 
 A Holder may pursue a remedy
with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if: 
 (1) such Holder gives to the Trustee written notice that
an Event of Default is continuing; 
 (2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders offer
and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 

(5) during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not
give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request. 

  
 85 

 A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a
Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note. 
 Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive
Payment. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive
payment of principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 
 If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust
against Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 The Trustee is
authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any
money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the
making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in
any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to
receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

  
 86 

 Section 6.10 Priorities. 

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment
of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 
 Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and Additional Interest, if any and interest, respectively; and 
 Third: to Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. 
 Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. 
 In any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to
pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made
by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes. 
 ARTICLE 7 
 TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee. 

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this

 (f) The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with Issuer. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other

Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee or security against the losses, liabilities and expenses that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 

(f) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee from Issuer or the Holders of at
least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, and such notice references the specific Default or Event of Default, the Notes and this Indenture.

 89 

 
or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and
hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. 

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. 
 The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with Issuer or any Affiliate of Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA) or resign.
Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof. 

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 
 The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for Issuer’s use of the proceeds from

obtains knowledge. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible
Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders. 
 Section 7.06
Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes. 
 (a) Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the
May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee will mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no
event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as
required by TIA § 313(c). 
 (b) A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders will be mailed by the
Trustee to Issuer and filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange. 

  
 90 

 Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. 

(a) Issuer will pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder.
The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. Issuer will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it
in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 (b) Issuer and the Guarantors will jointly and severally indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against Issuer and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by Issuer,
the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or
bad faith. The Trustee will notify Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify Issuer will not relieve Issuer or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. Issuer or such Guarantor
will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and Issuer will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither Issuer nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made
without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (c) The obligations of Issuer and the Guarantors under
this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the payment in full of the Notes. 
 (d) To secure Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the
Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 (e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01 (8) or (9) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services
(including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 (f) The Trustee will comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 
 Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. 
 (a) A resignation or
removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. 

  
 91 

 (b) The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby
created by so notifying Issuer. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and Issuer in writing. Issuer may remove the Trustee if: 

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof; 

(2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under
any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (3) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

 (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

(c) If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, Issuer will promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by Issuer.

 (d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Trustee, Issuer, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(e) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with
Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (f) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and
the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as
Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08,
Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another
corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee.

 ARTICLE 8 
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

Issuer may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate,
elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 
 Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 
 Upon
Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have
been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal
Defeasance means that Issuer and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding”
only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) through (4) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this
Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium
and Additional Interest, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof; 
 (2) Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof; 
 (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and 

(4) this Article 8. 

  
 93 

 Subject to compliance with this Article 8, Issuer may exercise its option under this
Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 
 Section 8.03
Covenant Defeasance. 
 Upon Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this
Section 8.03, Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.07, 4.08,
4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.17, 4.18 and 4.20 hereof and clause (3) of Section 5.01(a) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter,
“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with
such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that,
with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly,
by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of
Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the
option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) (with respect to clause (3) of Section 5.01(a)) through 6.01(6) hereof will not constitute
Events of Default. 
 Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof: 

(1) Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars,
non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm, or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of,
premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on, the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and Issuer must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such
stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date; 
 (2) in the case of an election under
Section 8.02 hereof, Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that: 
 (A) Issuer
has received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or 

  
 94 

 (B) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the
applicable federal income tax law, 
 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm
that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same
times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (3) in the case of an election
under Section 8.03 hereof, Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(4) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default
or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or
by which Issuer or any Guarantor is bound; 
 (5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in
a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 

(6) Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by Issuer with
the intent of preferring the Holders over the other creditors of Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of Issuer or others; and 

(7) Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
 Section 8.05
Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 Subject to
Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the
“Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any Paying Agent (including Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and
interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

  
 95 

 Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or
assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the
account of the Holders. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to Issuer
from time to time upon the request of Issuer any money or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed
in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 8.06 Repayment to Issuer. 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium or
Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to Issuer on its request or (if then held
by Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all
liability of Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of Issuer cause to be published once, in the
New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to Issuer. 
 Section 8.07 Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with
Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations
under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such
money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note following the
reinstatement of its obligations, Issuer will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 ARTICLE 9 
 AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 
 Section 9.01 Without Consent of
Holders. 
 Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or
supplement this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees without the consent of any Holder: 
 (1) to cure
any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; 
 (2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of
certificated Notes; 
 (3) to provide for the assumption of Issuer’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to
the Holders of the Notes and Note Guarantees by a Successor Issuer or Successor Guarantor pursuant to Article 5 or Article 10 hereof; 
 (4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder; 

(5) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the
TIA; 
 (6) to conform the text of this Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of
notes” section of the Offering Memorandum, to the extent that such provision in that “Description of notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes; 

(7) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of
the date hereof; or 
 (8) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee
with respect to the Notes. 
 Upon the request of Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the
execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 and Section 9.06 hereof, the Trustee will join with Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of any
amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended
or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 

  
 97 

 Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders. 

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, Issuer and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture and the Notes and the
Note Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation,
consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment
of the principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Note
Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation,
consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.10 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

 Upon the request of Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such
amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the
Trustee will join with Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture. 
 It is not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent
approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective,
Issuer will mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any
such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance
by Issuer with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a
non-consenting Holder): 
 (1) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment,
supplement or waiver; 

  
 98 

 (2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or
alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption (including the special mandatory redemption required under Section 3.10 hereof) of the Notes (except as provided herein with respect to Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.14 hereof);

 (3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Note;

 (4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or premium or Additional Interest, if
any, or interest on, the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such
acceleration); 
 (5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes; 

(6) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to
receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes; 
 (7)
waive a redemption payment (including the payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof) with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Sections 3.09, 4.10 or 4.14 hereof); 

(8) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture; or 
 (9) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

 Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes will be set forth in a amended or supplemental indenture that complies with
the TIA as then in effect. 
 Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of
a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of
a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its
terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for determining which
Holders consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver. If Issuer fixes a record date, the record date shall be fixed at (i) the later of 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders
furnished to the Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to Section 2.05 or (ii) such other date as Issuer shall designate. 

  
 99 

 Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. Issuer in
exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 
 The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of
the Trustee. Issuer may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors of Issuer approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01
hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE 10 
 NOTE GUARANTEES 
 Section 10.01 Guarantee. 

(a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably, fully and unconditionally guarantees,
as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the
obligations of Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: 
 (1) the principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if
any, and interest on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations
of Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder (including interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to Issuer or a Guarantor
whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding) will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and 

(2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will
be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. 

  
 100

 Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for
whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against Issuer, any action
to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the
event of insolvency or bankruptcy of Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the
obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 
 (c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise
to return to Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent
theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled
to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and
the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and
payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the
rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee. 
 (e) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that any Guarantor that makes a payment on
the obligations under the Guarantees shall be entitled, upon payment in full of all obligations under the Guarantees, to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment
based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP. The provisions of this Section 10.01(e) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor to the
Trustee and the Holders, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder. 

  
 101

 Section 10.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note
Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to
any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such
maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws (including, without limitation, any guarantees under the Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the Existing Notes), and after
giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such
Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 Section 10.03 Guarantors to
Sign Indenture.  
 To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby
agrees that this Indenture (or a supplemental indenture to this Indenture) shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an Officer of such Guarantor. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note
Guarantee will be valid nevertheless. 
 Upon execution of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture by the Subsidiary
Guarantors, the Guarantees set forth in this Indenture shall be deemed duly delivered, without any further action by any Person, on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantors. Following the Issue Date, the delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the
authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 In the event that Superior Energy, Issuer or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, if required by Section 4.18 hereof, Issuer will
cause such Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.18 hereof and this Article 10, to the extent applicable. 

Section 10.04 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. 

Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05 hereof, no Subsidiary Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than Issuer or another Guarantor, unless: 

(1) immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; 

  
 102

 (2) if such entity remains a Subsidiary Guarantor, the resulting, surviving
or transferee Person (the “Successor Guarantor”) is a Person (other than an individual) organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia; 

(3) the Successor Guarantor, if not already a Subsidiary Guarantor, expressly assumes all the obligations of such
Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture, the Notes and its Note Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and assumes by
written agreement all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Registration Rights Agreement; and 

(4) if such Subsidiary Guarantor does not continue as a Subsidiary of Issuer or Superior Energy, the net proceeds of such
sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture. 
 In case of any such
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the Successor Guarantor, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee and the due and punctual
performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such Successor Guarantor will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor.
Such Successor Guarantor thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by Issuer and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note
Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had
been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 
 Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding clauses
(1) through (4) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into Issuer or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a
Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to Issuer or another Guarantor. 
 Section 10.05
Releases. 
 (a) In the event of any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of a Subsidiary
Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) Superior Energy, Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of Issuer or Superior Energy, then such Subsidiary
Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee; provided that the sale or other disposition, and the application of the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition, comply with the applicable provisions
of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof. 
 (b) In the event of any sale or other disposition
of all or substantially all of the assets of a Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not 

  
 103

 
(either before or after giving effect to such transaction) Superior Energy, Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of Issuer or Superior Energy, then the corporation acquiring the property will be
released and relieved of any obligations under the applicable Note Guarantee; provided that the sale or other disposition, and the application of the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition, comply with the applicable provisions of
this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof. 
 Upon delivery by Issuer to the Trustee of an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof, the Trustee will execute any
documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee in accordance with the foregoing Sections 10.05(a) and (b). 

(c) Upon designation by Issuer of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture, such Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee. 

(d) Upon Legal Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article
11 hereof, each Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee. 
 (e) Upon the occurrence
of an Investment Grade Rating Event, if such Subsidiary Guarantor does not have outstanding Indebtedness, and it does not guarantee Indebtedness of Issuer, Superior Energy or any other Guarantor, in each case in excess of a De Minimis Amount, such
Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee. 
 Any Guarantor not released from its
obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 10.05 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor
under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10. 
 ARTICLE 11 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 Section 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. 
 This Indenture will
be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when: 
 (1) either:

 (a) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or
paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to Issuer, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

  
 104

 (b) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation
have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust
funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and
discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 

(2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or
Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by
which Issuer or any Guarantor is bound; 
 (3) Issuer or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums
payable by it under this Indenture; and 
 (4) Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under
this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be. 
 In addition, Issuer must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause
(b) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by
their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 Section 11.02 Application of Trust
Money. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as
the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium and Additional Interest, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application,
Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred 

  
 105

 
pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement
of its obligations, Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE] 

SESI, L.L.C. 

7.125% Senior Notes due 2021 
 Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. 
 1. Interest 
 SESI, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (such
limited liability company, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate of 7.125% per
annum, which shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from December 6, 2011. The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified herein, and it shall pay
interest on overdue installments of interest (including Additional Interest) at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

The Issuer shall make each interest payment in cash semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year,
commencing on June 15, 2012, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) to Holders of record of Notes on the immediately preceding June 1 and
December 1. 
 In addition to the rights provided to Holders under the Indenture, Holders of Registrable Securities shall
have all rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of December 6, 2011, among the Issuer, Superior Energy, the Subsidiary Guarantors named therein and the other parties named on the signature pages thereto (the
“Registration Rights Agreement”), including the right to receive Additional Interest in certain circumstances. If applicable, Additional Interest shall be paid to the same Persons, in the same manner and at the same times as regular
interest. 
 2. Method of Payment 
 By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which any principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note is due and payable, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent a
sum sufficient in immediately available funds to pay such principal, premium or interest when due. Interest on any Note which is payable, and is timely paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment date shall be paid to the Person in whose name
such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the preceding June 1 and December 1 at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.03 of the
Indenture. The principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of Paying Agent or Registrar designated by the Issuer maintained for such purpose in the United States or at such other office or
agency of the Issuer as may be maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Indenture; provided, however, that, at the option of the Issuer, the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes may be
paid by (i) check mailed to addresses of the Persons entitled thereto as such 

  
 A-4

 
addresses shall appear on the Notes Register or (ii) wire transfer to an account located in the United States maintained by the payee, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph.
Payments in respect of Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder or Holders thereof. 

3. Paying Agent and Registrar 
 The Issuer initially appoints The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes. The Issuer may change any Registrar or Paying Agent without prior notice to the
Holders. The Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or transfer agent. 
 4. Indenture 

The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of December 6, 2011 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time
in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”). The terms of the Notes include those stated in the
Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “Act”). The Notes are subject to all
terms and provisions of the Indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the
Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 
 The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer. The aggregate principal
amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is unlimited. This Note is one of the 7.125% Senior Notes, Series A, due 2021 referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include (i) $800,000,000 principal amount of the
Issuer’s 7.125% Senior Notes, Series A, due 2021 issued under the Indenture on December 6, 2011 (the “Initial Notes”), (ii) if and when issued, additional 7.125% Senior Notes, Series A, due 2021 or 7.125% Senior
Notes, Series B, due 2021 of the Issuer that may be issued from time to time under the Indenture subsequent to December 6, 2011 (the “Additional Notes”) as provided in Section 2.1(a) of the Indenture and
(iii) if and when issued, the Issuer’s 7.125% Senior Notes, Series B, due 2021 that may be issued from time to time under the Indenture in exchange for Initial Notes or Additional Notes in an offer registered under the Securities Act as
provided in the Registration Rights Agreement (herein called “Exchange Notes”). The Initial Notes, the Additional Notes and the Exchange Notes shall be considered collectively as a single class for all purposes of the Indenture. The
Indenture imposes certain limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness and issuance of disqualified stock and preferred stock, the making of restricted payments, the sale of assets and subsidiary stock, the incurrence of certain liens, entering
into transactions with affiliates, the making of payments for consents, the entering into of agreements that restrict distribution from restricted subsidiaries, the consummation of mergers and consolidations and the activities of the Issuer prior to
the consummation of the Acquisition. The Indenture also imposes requirements with respect to the provision of financial information and the provision of guarantees of the Notes by certain subsidiaries. Upon the occurrence of an Investment Grade
Rating Event, certain covenants will no longer be in effect. Certain restrictions on the Issuer will cease to be in effect upon the consummation of the Acquisition. 

  
 A-5

 5. Guarantees 
 To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest (including post-filing or post-petition interest) on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Issuer under
the Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, the Guarantors have unconditionally guaranteed (and future
guarantors, together with the Guarantors, shall unconditionally Guarantee), jointly and severally, such obligations on a senior unsecured basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. 
 6. Redemption 
 Prior to December 15, 2014, the Issuer may, at
its option, upon notice as described under Section 3.03 of the Indenture, on one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price equal to 107.125% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, thereon, if any, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on the relevant interest payment date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings; provided that (a) at least 65% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under the
Indenture on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes that are issued under the Indenture after the Issue Date remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption and (b) each such redemption occurs within 90 days of the
date of closing of each such Public Equity Offering. 
 On and after December 15, 2016, the Issuer may redeem the Notes,
in whole or in part, upon notice as described under Section 3.03 of the Indenture, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth in the table below, plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment
date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on December 15 of each of the years indicated in the table below: 
  

					
	 Period
	  	Percentage	 
	 2016
	  	 	103.563	% 
	 2017
	  	 	102.375	% 
	 2018
	  	 	101.188	% 
	 2019 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph 6 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections
3.01 through 3.06 of the Indenture. 

  
 A-6

 At any time prior to December 15, 2016, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the
Notes, upon notice as described in Section 3.03 of the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium (as defined below) as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and
Additional Interest, if any, to but excluding the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

 “Applicable Premium” means, as determined by the Issuer, with respect to any Note on any redemption date,
the greater of: 
 (a) 
 (1) 1.0% of the principal amount of the Note; and 
 (2) the excess
of: (a) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of the Note at December 15, 2016, (such redemption price being set forth in the table appearing above) plus (ii) all required interest payments due on
the Note through December 15, 2016, (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such redemption date plus 50 basis points; over 

(b) the then-outstanding principal amount of the Note, if greater. 

“Treasury Rate” means, as of any redemption date, the yield to maturity as of such redemption date of United States
Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) that has become publicly available at least two business days prior to the redemption date (or, if such
Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to December 15, 2016; provided, however, that if the period from the
redemption date to December 15, 2016, is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year will be used. 

Except as set forth in the following sentence and in paragraph 7 below, the Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or
sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. In the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated or the Acquisition is not completed on or before May 31, 2012, the Issuer shall redeem on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date all of the
outstanding Notes at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes to, but not including, Special Mandatory Redemption Date. 

7. Repurchase Provisions 
 If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently mailed a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described in Section 3.07 of the
Indenture, each Holder shall have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase from each Holder all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to
101% of the aggregate principal amount 

  
 A-7

 
thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the
relevant interest payment date as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture. 
 In addition, under the
circumstances set forth in Section 4.10 of the Indenture, the Issuer shall be required to make an offer to purchase Notes with the Excess Proceeds of certain Asset Dispositions. 
 8. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 
 The Notes shall be issuable
only in fully registered form, without coupons, and only in denominations of principal amount of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar
may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of
or exchange of any Note (A) for a period beginning (1) 15 days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redeem Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (2) 15 days before an
interest payment date and ending on such interest payment date or (B) called for redemption or tendered (and not withdrawn) for repurchases in connection with a Change of Control Offer, an Asset Disposition Offer or other tender offer, except
the unredeemed or untendered portion of any Note being redeemed or tendered in part. 
 9. Persons Deemed Owners 

The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 

10. Unclaimed Money 

If money for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall
pay the money back to the Issuer at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an abandoned
property law designates another person and not to the Trustee for payment. 
 11. Defeasance 

Subject to certain exceptions and conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Issuer at any time may terminate some or all of its
obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Issuer deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

  
 A-8

 12. Amendment, Supplement, Waiver 

Subject to certain exceptions contained in the Indenture, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended, or default may be waived, with the
consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture, any Note Guarantee and the Notes as
provided in the Indenture. 
 13. Defaults and Remedies 
 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer or certain Restricted Subsidiaries) occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee by notice to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of,
premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest), if any, and any other monetary obligations on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium and accrued and unpaid interest
(including Additional Interest) and any other monetary obligations shall be due and payable immediately. If a bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Superior Energy, the Issuer or certain Restricted Subsidiaries occurs and is continuing, the
principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest) and any other monetary obligations on all the Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of
the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences. 

14. Trustee Dealings with the Issuer 
 Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, Subsidiary
Guarantors or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 
 15. No Recourse Against Others

 An incorporator, director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their parent
companies, solely by reason of this status, shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are a part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes. 
 16. Authentication 
 This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee
authenticates the Note.

and not as tenants in common), CUST (= custodian) and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE] 

SESI, L.L.C. 

7.125% Senior Notes due 2021 
 Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. 
 1. Interest 
 SESI, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (such
limited liability company, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate of 7.125% per annum,
which shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from December 6, 2011. The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified herein, and it shall pay interest on
overdue installments of interest (including Additional Interest) at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

The Issuer shall make each interest payment in cash semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year,
commencing on June 15, 2012, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) to Holders of record of Notes on the immediately preceding June 1 and
December 1. 
 2. Method of Payment 
 By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which any principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note is due and payable, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent a
sum sufficient in immediately available funds to pay such principal, premium or interest when due. Interest on any Note which is payable, and is timely paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment date shall be paid to the Person in whose name
such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the preceding June 1 and December 1 at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.03 of the
Indenture. The principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of Paying Agent or Registrar designated by the Issuer maintained for such purpose in the United States or at such other office or
agency of the Issuer as may be maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Indenture; provided, however, that, at the option of the Issuer, the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes may be
paid by (i) check mailed to addresses of the Persons entitled thereto as such addresses shall appear on the Notes Register or (ii) wire transfer to an account located in the United States maintained by the payee, subject to the last
sentence of this paragraph. Payments in respect of Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder or
Holders thereof. 

  
 B-3

 3. Paying Agent and Registrar 

The Issuer initially appoints The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes. The Issuer may
change any Registrar or Paying Agent without prior notice to the Holders. The Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or transfer agent. 
 4. Indenture 
 The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated
as of December 6, 2011 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the
“Trustee”). The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date
of the Indenture (the “Act”). The Notes are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms. To the extent any provision of this Note
conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 
 The
Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is unlimited. This Note is one of the 7.125% Senior Notes, Series B, due 2021 referred to in
the Indenture. The Notes include (i) $800,000,000 principal amount of the Issuer’s 7.125% Senior Notes, Series A, due 2021 issued under the Indenture on December 6, 2011 (the “Initial Notes”), (ii) if and when
issued, additional 7.125% Senior Notes, Series A, due 2021 or 7.125% Senior Notes, Series B, due 2021 of the Issuer that may be issued from time to time under the Indenture subsequent to December 6, 2011 (the “Additional
Notes”) as provided in Section 2.1(a) of the Indenture and (iii) if and when issued, the Issuer’s 7.125% Senior Notes, Series B, due 2021 that may be issued from time to time under the Indenture in exchange for Initial
Notes or Additional Notes in an offer registered under the Securities Act as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement (herein called “Exchange Notes”). The Initial Notes, the Additional Notes and the Exchange Notes shall be
considered collectively as a single class for all purposes of the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness and issuance of disqualified stock and preferred stock, the making of restricted payments, the
sale of assets and subsidiary stock, the incurrence of certain liens, entering into transactions with affiliates, the making of payments for consents, the entering into of agreements that restrict distribution from restricted subsidiaries, the
consummation of mergers and consolidations and the activities of the Issuer prior to the consummation of the Acquisition. The Indenture also imposes requirements with respect to the provision of financial information and the provision of guarantees
of the Notes by certain subsidiaries. Upon the occurrence of an Investment Grade Rating Event, certain covenants will no longer be in effect. Certain restrictions on the Issuer will cease to be in effect upon the consummation of the Acquisition.

  
 B-4

 5. Guarantees 
 To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest (including post-filing or post-petition interest) on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Issuer under
the Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, the Guarantors have unconditionally guaranteed (and future
guarantors, together with the Guarantors, shall unconditionally Guarantee), jointly and severally, such obligations on a senior unsecured basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. 
 6. Redemption 
 Prior to December 15, 2014, the Issuer may, at
its option, upon notice as described under Section 3.03 of the Indenture, on one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price equal to 107.125% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, thereon, if any, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on the relevant interest payment date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings; provided that (a) at least 65% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under the
Indenture on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes that are issued under the Indenture after the Issue Date remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption and (b) each such redemption occurs within 90 days of the
date of closing of each such Public Equity Offering. 
 On and after December 15, 2016, the Issuer may redeem the Notes,
in whole or in part, upon notice as described under Section 3.03 of the Indenture, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth in the table below, plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment
date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on December 15 of each of the years indicated in the table below: 
  

					
	 Period
	  	Percentage	 
	 2016
	  	 	103.563	% 
	 2017
	  	 	102.375	% 
	 2018
	  	 	101.188	% 
	 2019 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph 6 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections
3.01 through 3.06 of the Indenture. 
 At any time prior to December 15, 2016, the Issuer may redeem all or a
part of the Notes, upon notice as described in Section 3.03 of the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium (as defined

  
 B-5

 
below) as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to but excluding the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of Holders
of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. 
 “Applicable
Premium” means, as determined by the Issuer, with respect to any Note on any redemption date, the greater of: 
 (a)

 (1) 1.0% of the principal amount of the Note; and 

(2) the excess of: (a) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of the Note at
December 15, 2016, (such redemption price being set forth in the table appearing above) plus (ii) all required interest payments due on the Note through December 15, 2016, (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption
date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such redemption date plus 50 basis points; over 
 (b)
the then-outstanding principal amount of the Note, if greater. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, as of any redemption
date, the yield to maturity as of such redemption date of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) that has become publicly available
at least two business days prior to the redemption date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to December 15,
2016; provided, however, that if the period from the redemption date to December 15, 2016, is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one
year will be used. 
 Except as set forth in the following sentence and in paragraph 7 below, the Issuer is not required to
make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. In the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated or the Acquisition is not completed on or before May 31, 2012, the Issuer shall redeem on the Special Mandatory
Redemption Date all of the outstanding Notes at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes to, but not including, Special Mandatory Redemption Date.

 7. Repurchase Provisions 
 If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently mailed a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described in Section 3.07 of the
Indenture, each Holder shall have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase from each Holder all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to
101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest
payment date as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture. 

  
 B-6

 In addition, under the circumstances set forth in Section 4.10 of the
Indenture, the Issuer shall be required to make an offer to purchase Notes with the Excess Proceeds of certain Asset Dispositions. 

8. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 
 The Notes shall be issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and only in denominations of principal amount of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may
transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax and fees required by law or
permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange of any Note (A) for a period beginning (1) 15 days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redeem Notes and ending at the
close of business on the day of such mailing or (2) 15 days before an interest payment date and ending on such interest payment date or (B) called for redemption or tendered (and not withdrawn) for repurchases in connection with a
Change of Control Offer, an Asset Disposition Offer or other tender offer, except the unredeemed or untendered portion of any Note being redeemed or tendered in part. 
 9. Persons Deemed Owners 
 The registered Holder of this Note may be
treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 
 10. Unclaimed Money 

If money for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall
pay the money back to the Issuer at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an abandoned
property law designates another person and not to the Trustee for payment. 
 11. Defeasance 

Subject to certain exceptions and conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Issuer at any time may terminate some or all of its
obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Issuer deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

 12. Amendment, Supplement, Waiver 
 Subject to certain exceptions contained in the Indenture, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended, or default may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Notes. Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture, any Note Guarantee and the Notes as provided in the Indenture. 

  
 B-7

 13. Defaults and Remedies 

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the
Issuer or certain Restricted Subsidiaries) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee
at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest), if any, and any other monetary obligations on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a
declaration, such principal, premium and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest) and any other monetary obligations shall be due and payable immediately. If a bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Superior Energy, the
Issuer or certain Restricted Subsidiaries occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest) and any other monetary obligations on all the Notes shall become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with
respect to the Notes and its consequences. 
 14. Trustee Dealings with the Issuer 

Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, Subsidiary Guarantors or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 
 15. No Recourse Against Others 
 An incorporator, director, officer,
employee or stockholder of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their parent companies, solely by reason of this status, shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Notes, the
Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are a part of the consideration
for the issuance of the Notes. 
 16. Authentication 
 This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee authenticates the Note. 

17. Abbreviations 

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by
the entirety), JT TEN (= joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= custodian) and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

redemption or purchase and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
