Participant’s PIN Number is changed, the new PIN Number will become effective on a date mutually agreed upon by the Authorized Participant and the Creation and Redemption Agent. The Authorized Participant agrees that, absent the Creation and
Redemption Agent’s fraud, willful misconduct or failure to cancel the PIN Number promptly following a written request to do so from the Authorized Participant or the termination of the Authorized Participant Agreement, none of the Trust, the
Trustee or the Creation and Redemption Agent shall be liable for losses incurred by the Authorized Participant as a result of unauthorized use of the Authorized Participant’s PIN Number prior to the time the Authorized Participant provides
notice to the Creation and Redemption Agent of the termination or revocation of authority pursuant to Section 2.03. 
 Section 2.03. Termination of Authority. Upon the termination or revocation of authority of an Authorized Representative by the Authorized Participant, the Authorized Participant shall (i) give immediate written
notice of such fact to the Creation and Redemption Agent and such notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Creation and Redemption Agent; and (ii) request a new PIN Number. The Creation and Redemption Agent shall, as promptly as
practicable, de-activate the PIN Number upon receipt of such written notice. 
 Section 2.04. Verification. The Creation and
Redemption Agent may assume that all instructions issued to it using the Authorized Participant’s PIN Number have been properly placed by Authorized Representatives, unless the Creation and Redemption Agent has actual knowledge to the contrary
or the Authorized Participant has revoked its PIN Number. The Creation and Redemption Agent shall have no duty to verify that an Order has been placed by an Authorized Representative. The Authorized Participant agrees that the Creation and
Redemption Agent shall not be responsible for any losses incurred by the Authorized Participant as a result of an Authorized Representative identifying himself or herself as a different Authorized Representative or an unauthorized person identifying
himself or herself as an Authorized Representative, unless the Creation and Redemption Agent previously received from the Authorized Participant written notice to revoke its PIN Number. 
 ARTICLE III 
 STATUS OF THE AUTHORIZED PARTICIPANT 
 Section 3.01. Clearing Status. The Authorized Participant represents, covenants and warrants that, as of the date of execution of the
Authorized Participant Agreement, and at all times during the term of the Authorized Participant Agreement, the Authorized Participant is and will be entitled to use the clearing and settlement services of each of the national clearing and
settlement organizations through which, in compliance with the Procedures, the transactions contemplated hereby will clear and settle. Any change in the foregoing status of the Authorized Participant shall terminate the Authorized Participant
Agreement and the Authorized Participant shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Creation and Redemption Agent. 
 Section 3.02.
Registration Status. The Authorized Participant represents and warrants that, unless Section 3.03 is applicable to it, it is (i) registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
(ii) qualified to act as a broker or dealer in the states or other jurisdictions where it transacts business to the extent so required by applicable law, (iii) a member in good standing of 
  

 S2-3 

 the NASD and (iv) if required in connection with its activities hereunder, registered as a futures commission
merchant under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended and a member in good standing of the National Futures Association. The Authorized Participant agrees that it will maintain such registrations, qualifications, and membership in good standing and
in full force and effect throughout the term of the Authorized Participant Agreement. The Authorized Participant further agrees to comply with all Federal laws, the laws of the states or other jurisdictions concerned, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable to the Authorized Participant’s transactions in iShares, and with the Constitution, By-Laws and Conduct Rules of the NASD applicable to its activities as an
Authorized Participant, and that it will not offer or sell iShares in any state or jurisdiction where they may not lawfully be offered and/or sold. 
 Section 3.03. Foreign Status. If the Authorized Participant is offering and selling iShares in jurisdictions outside the several states, territories and possessions of the United States and is not otherwise required to be
registered, qualified, or a member of the NASD as set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Authorized Participant nevertheless agrees to observe the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which such offer and/or sale is made (e.g., it will not
offer or sell iShares in any state or jurisdiction where they may not lawfully be offered and/or sold), to comply with the full disclosure requirements of the 1933 Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and to conduct its business in
accordance with the spirit of the NASD Conduct Rules. 
 Section 3.04. Futures Account. The Authorized Participant represents and
warrants that it will arrange to receive any futures contracts owing to the Authorized Participant upon settlement of a Redemption Order at an account it establishes through a member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s associated clearing
organization (which may include such Authorized Participant), and will maintain such an account at all times it is an Authorized Participant. The Authorized Participant will provide notice of such account to the Settlement Agent in the upon request.

 Section 3.05. Compliance with Certain Laws. If the Authorized Participant is subject to the requirements of the Uniting and
Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (“U.S.A. PATRIOT Act”), the Authorized Purchaser is in compliance with the anti-money laundering and related provisions of the U.S.A.
PATRIOT Act. 
 Section 3.06. Authorized Participant Status. 
 a. The Authorized Participant understands and acknowledges that the method by which Baskets of iShares will be created and traded may raise certain issues
under applicable securities laws. For example, because new Baskets of iShares may be issued and sold by the Trust on an ongoing basis, at any point a “distribution”, as such term is used in the 1933 Act, may occur. The Authorized
Participant understands and acknowledges that some activities on its part, depending on the circumstances, may result in its being deemed a participant in a distribution in a manner which could render it a statutory underwriter and subject it to the
prospectus delivery and liability provisions of the 1933 Act. 
 b. The Sponsor shall ensure that the Prospectus contains an accurate and
current listing of Authorized Participants. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 ROLE OF AUTHORIZED PARTICIPANT 
 Section 4.01. Independent Contractor. The Authorized
Participant acknowledges and agrees that for all purposes of the Authorized Participant Agreement, the Authorized Participant will be deemed 
  

 S2-4 

 to be an independent contractor, and will have no authority to act as agent for the Trust or the Trustee in any matter or
in any respect. The Authorized Participant agrees to make itself and its employees available, upon request, during normal business hours to consult with the Trustee, the Sponsor or their designees concerning the performance of the Authorized
Participant’s responsibilities under the Authorized Participant Agreement; provided, however, that the Authorized Participant shall be under no obligation to divulge or otherwise disclose any information that the Authorized Participant
reasonably believes (i) it is under legal obligation not to disclose, or (ii) it is confidential or proprietary in nature. 
 Section 4.02. Rights and Obligations of DTC Participant. In executing the Authorized Participant Agreement, the Authorized Participant agrees in connection with any purchase or redemption transactions in which it acts for an
Authorized Participant Client or for any other DTC Participant or indirect participant, or any other person on whose behalf it holds iShares, that it shall extend to any such party all of the rights, and shall be bound by all of the obligations, of
a DTC Participant in addition to any obligations that it undertakes hereunder or under the Procedures. 
 Section 4.03. Beneficial
Owner Communications. The Authorized Participant agrees, subject to any limitations arising under federal or state securities laws relating to privacy or other obligations it may have to its customers, to assist the Trustee or the Sponsor in
determining the ownership level of each beneficial owner relating to positions in iShares that the Authorized Participant may hold as record holder or that may be held through the Authorized Participant as a DTC Participant. In addition, the
Authorized Participant agrees, in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, at the request of the Sponsor or the Trustee to forward to such beneficial owners written materials and communications received from the requesting party in
sufficient quantities to allow mailing thereof to such beneficial owners, including notices, annual reports, disclosure or other informational materials and any amendments or supplements thereto that may be required to be sent by the Sponsor or the
Trustee to such beneficial owners pursuant to the Trust Agreement or applicable law or regulation, or that the Sponsor or the Trustee reasonably wishes to distribute, at its own expense, to such beneficial owners. 
 ARTICLE V 
 TAX MATTERS 
 Section 5.01. Tax Basis of Assets Contributed Upon Creation. With respect to any Creation of iShares, the Authorized Participant on behalf of
itself and any Authorized Participant Client agrees that any property contributed in consideration for the creation of iShares shall have a basis for tax purposes equal to the fair market value of that property, and acknowledges that the Trust and
Investing Pool will rely upon such fair market value basis for purposes of determining and allocating items of income, gain, loss, deduction, basis and other tax items. 
 Section 5.02. Tax Basis of Basket Constituents Received Upon Redemption. 
 a. With respect to any
Redemption of iShares held by an Authorized Participant for its own account, the Authorized Participant acknowledges that the basis for tax purposes in Basket Constituents that it receives from the Trust in consideration for a redemption of iShares
may be more or less than the 
  

 S2-5 

 fair market value of the Basket Constituents or the Authorized Participant’s basis in the iShares redeemed. The
Authorized Participant will determine its basis for tax purposes in any Basket Constituent it receives from the Trust in consideration for a redemption of iShares by reference to the tax basis of such Basket Constituent on the books of the Investing
Pool immediately prior to the redemption, as such amount is reported to the Authorized Participant by the Settlement Agent, subject to adjustment as required under Section 732 or other applicable law. The Authorized Participant will report any
built-in gain or loss on CERFs that it receives from the Trust on redemption of iShares under the rules of section 1256 of the Code (absent a valid election to do otherwise), and, to the extent applicable, will report any offsetting gain or loss on
the remaining iShares held by the Authorized Participant under the rules of section 475 of the Code. The Authorized Participant acknowledges that such reporting may result in a mismatch in the character or other tax attributes of gain or loss from
CERFs and iShares. 
 b. With respect to any Redemption of iShares held by an Authorized Participant for an Authorized Participant Client,
the Authorized Participant acknowledges on behalf of itself and such Authorized Participant Client that the basis for tax purposes in Basket Constituents received from the Trust in consideration for the redemption of iShares may be more or less than
the fair market value of the Basket Constituents or the Authorized Participant Client’s basis in the iShares redeemed. To the extent that the Authorized Participant reports to an Authorized Participant Client, the Internal Revenue Service or
any other person the basis for tax purposes of any Basket Constituents it receives from the Trust in consideration for a redemption of iShares on behalf of an Authorized Participant Client, the Authorized Participant will determine its basis by
reference to the tax basis of such Basket Constituents on the books of the Investing Pool immediately prior to the redemption, as such amount is reported to the Authorized Participant by the Settlement Agent, subject to adjustment as required under
Section 732 or other applicable law. The Authorized Participant will report any other tax items of an Authorized Participant Client (e.g., basis in iShares, or gain or loss amounts) in a manner consistent with the preceding sentence.

 c. The Authorized Participant acknowledges on behalf of itself and any Authorized Participant Client that, to the extent that such
Participant or Client is subject to the mark-to-market rules of section 475 of the Code, the basis of iShares and of any assets of the Trust and Investing Pool shall be determined for purposes of sections 734(b) and 743(b) of the Code and for the
purposes of the provisions of this Article V by treating such mark-to-market as having no effect on such basis. 
 Section 5.03.
Treatment of Redemptions as Partial or Complete Redemptions. 
 a. The Authorized Participant represents with respect to each
redemption of iShares held by the Authorized Participant for its own account that the receipt of Basket Constituents from the Trust in connection with such redemption is a distribution other than in liquidation of the Authorized Participant’s
interest in iShares (a “partial redemption”), unless it notifies the Trust or its agent prior to the receipt of the Basket Constituents that such distribution is in liquidation of the Authorized Participant’s interest in iShares (a
“complete redemption”). The Authorized Participant acknowledges that the Trust and Investing Pool may report gain or loss and other tax items including the allocation of basis and adjustments to basis in reliance upon the assumption that
any redemption of iShares is a partial redemption unless such notice is timely provided. The Authorized Participant will notify the Trust or its agent within 5 Business Days of the receipt of the Basket Constituents of (i) any gain or loss
arising from a redemption of iShares by the Authorized Participant in exchange for Basket Constituents, and (ii) any difference between the tax basis of such Basket Constituents on the books of the Investing Pool immediately prior to the
redemption, as such amount is reported to the Authorized Participant, and the basis of the distributed Basket Constituents to the Authorized Participant (such gain or loss or basis difference, “section 734(b) items”), in a manner
sufficient for the Investing Pool to adjust the basis of undistributed property held by the Investing Pool under section 734(b) of the Code. 
  

 S2-6 

 b. To the extent that an Authorized Participant acts on behalf of an Authorized Participant Client
in connection with a redemption of iShares, the Authorized Participant will inform the Trust or its agent prior to the receipt of the Basket Constituents of any such redemption that constitutes a complete redemption, to the extent that such
information is available to the Authorized Participant (for example, because the Client redeems all iShares that it holds through the Authorized Participant). The Authorized Participant acknowledges on behalf of itself and any Authorized Participant
Client that redeems iShares that the Trust and Investing Pool may report gain or loss and other tax items including the allocation of basis and adjustments to basis in reliance upon the assumption that any redemption of iShares is a partial
redemption unless such notice is timely provided. The Authorized Participant will make commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Trust and Investing Pool in determining the amount of section 734(b) items, if any, with respect to a redemption of
iShares on behalf of an Authorized Participant Client. 
 Section 5.04. Tax Reporting. 
 a. An Authorized Participant will provide tax reporting information with respect to the Trust and Investing Pool to or for the benefit of taxpayers
for whom the Authorized Participant holds iShares as a nominee as required by law, including under Treasury regulations governing information reporting by widely held fixed investment trusts. 
 b. An Authorized Participant will furnish information to the Trust and Investing Pool with respect to any taxpayer for whom the Authorized Participant
holds iShares as a nominee in the same manner and to the extent that it would be required to furnish such information under Treasury regulation section 1.6031(c)-1T or any successor thereto if iShares were treated as partnership interests in the
Trust and an investor in iShares were treated as a partner of the Trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in addition to any information required by other provisions of this Article V. The Authorized Participant also will comply with any similar
rules requiring nominees that hold interests in a trust on behalf of other persons to provide information to the trust or trustee (or their agents) thererof. 
 c. An Authorized Participant will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any taxpayer for whom the Authorized Participant holds iShares as a nominee has provided IRS Form W-9, W-8BEN, or other forms or
documentation qualifying as a withholding certificate or documentary evidence or other appropriate documentation within the meaning of Treasury regulation section 1.1441-1(c) or any successor thereto, as necessary to establish an exemption from
withholding tax and backup withholding tax with respect to income of the Trust and Investing Pool allocable to such investor. The Authorized Participant will act as an agent of the Trust and Investing Pool in collecting and holding such forms or
documentation, and annually will provide a copy of such forms to the Trust or its agent. Upon reasonable request by the Trust or its agent, the Authorized Participant will provide the originals of such forms or documentation to the extent held by
the Authorized Participant at that time and will assist the Trust in obtaining such original forms or documentation (or, to the extent originals are not available, copies thereof) from investors or other nominees to the extent not held by the
Authorized Participant. The provisions of this Section 5.04(c) of the Authorized Participant Agreement are subject to, and may be modified by, any agreements between the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, and an Authorized Participant separate
and apart from the Authorized Participant Agreement, that provide otherwise. 
  

 S2-7

may be furnished to the Authorized Participant by the Sponsor and such other information and materials as may be approved in writing by the Sponsor. The Authorized Participant understands that the Trust will not be advertised as offering redeemable

the Sponsor, prepare and circulate in the regular course of its business reports, research or similar materials that include information, opinions or recommendations relating to iShares (i) for public dissemination, provided that such reports,
research or similar materials compare the relative merits and benefits of iShares with other products and are not used for purposes of marketing iShares and (ii) for internal use by the Authorized Participant. 
 Section 6.02. Prospectus. 
 a.
The Sponsor will provide, or cause to be provided, to the Authorized Participant copies of the then current Prospectus and any printed supplemental information in reasonable quantities upon request. The Sponsor will notify the Authorized Participant
when a revised, supplemented or amended Prospectus for the iShares is available, and make available to the Authorized Participant copies of such revised, supplemented or amended Prospectus at such time and in such quantities as may be reasonable to
permit the Authorized Participant to comply with any obligation the Authorized Participant may have to deliver such Prospectus to its customers. The Sponsor shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 6.02 when the Authorized Participant
has received such revised, supplemented or amended Prospectus by e-mail, in printable form, with such number of hard copies as may be agreed from time to time by the parties promptly thereafter. 
 b. The Authorized Participant represents and warrants to the Sponsor that it will deliver the then current Prospectus upon any sale by it of iShares

 A-1Sixth Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan

 Exhibit 4.1 
 SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 OMNI ENERGY SERVICES CORP. 
 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
 1. Purpose. The
purpose of the Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) of OMNI Energy Services Corp. (“OMNI”) is to increase stockholder value and to advance the interests of OMNI and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) by
furnishing a variety of economic incentives (the “Incentives”) designed to attract, retain and motivate key employees, officers and directors and to strengthen the mutuality of interests between such employees, officers and directors and
OMNI’s stockholders. Incentives consist of opportunities to purchase or receive shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, of OMNI (the “Common Stock”), on terms determined under the Plan. As used in the Plan, the term
“subsidiary” means any corporation of which OMNI owns (directly or indirectly) within the meaning of Section 425(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), 50% or more of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock. 
 2. Administration. 
 2.1. Composition. The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of OMNI or by a subcommittee thereof (the “Committee”). The Committee shall consist of not fewer than
two members of the Board of Directors, each of whom shall (a) qualify as a “non-employee director” under Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) or any successor rule, and (b) qualify as an
“outside director” under Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 2.2. Authority. The Committee shall have plenary authority to award
Incentives under the Plan, to interpret the Plan, to establish any rules or regulations relating to the Plan that it determines to be appropriate, to enter into agreements with participants as to the terms of the Incentives (the “Incentive
Agreements”) and to make any other determination that it believes necessary or advisable for the proper administration of the Plan. Its decisions in matters relating to the Plan shall be final and conclusive on the Company and participants. The
Committee may delegate its authority hereunder to the extent provided in Section 3 hereof. The Committee shall not have authority to award Incentives under the Plan to directors who are not also employees of the Company (“Outside
Directors”). Outside Directors may receive awards under the Plan only as specifically provided in Section 9 hereof. 
 3. Eligible
Participants. Key employees and officers of the Company (including officers who also serve as directors of the Company) and consultants and advisors to the Company shall become eligible to receive Incentives under the Plan when designated by the
Committee. Employees may be designated individually or by groups or categories, as the Committee deems appropriate. With respect to participants not subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act or Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee may
delegate to appropriate personnel of the Company its authority to designate participants, to determine the size and type of Incentives to be received by those participants and to determine or modify performance objectives for those participants.
Outside Directors may participate in the Plan only as specifically provided in Section 9 hereof. 
 4. Types of Incentives. Incentives
may be granted under the Plan to eligible participants in any of the following forms, either individually or in combination, (a) incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options; (b) restricted stock; and (c) other stock-based
awards (“Other Stock-Based Awards”). 
 5. Shares Subject to the Plan. 
 5.1. Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10.5, a total of 2,750,000 shares of Common Stock are authorized to be issued
under the Plan. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10.5, Incentives with respect to no more than 333,333 may be granted through the Plan to a single participant in one calendar year. In the event that an Incentive granted hereunder
expires or is terminated or cancelled prior to exercise or payment, any shares of Common Stock that were issuable thereunder may again be issued under the Plan. In the event that shares of Common Stock are issued as Incentives under the Plan and
thereafter are forfeited or reacquired by the Company pursuant to rights reserved upon issuance thereof, such forfeited and reacquired shares may again be issued under the Plan. If an Other Stock-Based Award is to be paid in 

 cash by its terms, the Committee need not make a deduction from the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan with
respect thereto. If and to the extent that an Other Stock-Based Award may be paid in cash or shares of Common Stock, the total number of shares available for issuance hereunder shall be debited by the number of shares payable under such Incentive,
provided that upon any payment of all or part of such Incentive in cash, the total number of shares available for issuance hereunder shall be credited with the appropriate number of shares represented by the cash payment, as determined in the sole
discretion of the Committee. Additional rules for determining the number of shares granted under the Plan may be made by the Committee, as it deems necessary or appropriate. 
 5.2. Type of Common Stock. Common Stock issued under the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares or issued shares held as treasury shares. 

6. Stock Options. A stock option is a right to purchase shares of Common Stock from OMNI. Stock options granted under this Plan may be incentive stock
options or non-qualified stock options. Any option that is designated as a non-qualified stock option shall not be treated as an incentive stock option. Each stock option granted by the Committee under this Plan shall be subject to the following
terms and conditions: 
 6.1. Price. The exercise price per share shall be determined by the Committee, subject to adjustment under
Section 10.5; provided that in no event shall the exercise price be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant, except that in connection with an acquisition, consolidation, merger or other extraordinary
transaction, options may be granted at less than the then Fair Market Value in order to replace options previously granted by one or more parties to such transaction (or their affiliates) so long as the aggregate spread on such replacement options
for any recipient of such options is equal to or less than the aggregate spread on the options being replaced. 
 6.2. Number. The number of
shares of Common Stock subject to the option shall be determined by the Committee, subject to Section 5.1 and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10.5. 
 6.3. Duration and Time for Exercise. The term of each stock option shall be determined by the Committee. Each stock option shall become exercisable at such time or times during its term as shall be determined by the
Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may accelerate the exercisability of any stock option at any time, in addition to the automatic acceleration of stock options under Section 10.11. 
 6.4. Manner of Exercise. A stock option may be exercised, in whole or in part, by giving written notice to the Company, specifying the number of shares
of Common Stock to be purchased. The exercise notice shall be accompanied by the full purchase price for such shares. The option price shall be payable in United States dollars and may be paid by (a) cash; (b) uncertified or certified
check; (c) unless otherwise determined by the Committee, by delivery of shares of Common Stock held by the optionee for at least six months, which shares shall be valued for this purpose at the Fair Market Value on the business day immediately
preceding the date such option is exercised; (d) unless otherwise determined by the Committee, by delivering a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker approved by OMNI (with a copy to OMNI) to
promptly deliver to OMNI the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the exercise price; or (e) in such other manner as may be authorized from time to time by the Committee. 
 6.5. Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the following additional provisions shall apply to the grant of stock
options that are intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options (as such term is defined in Section 422 of the Code): 
 A. Any Incentive Stock Option agreement authorized under the Plan shall contain such other provisions as the Committee shall deem advisable, but shall in all events be consistent with and contain or be deemed to contain all provisions
required in order to qualify the options as Incentive Stock Options. 
 B. All Incentive Stock Options must be granted within
ten years from the date on which this Plan is adopted by the Board of Directors. 

 C. Unless sooner exercised, all Incentive Stock Options shall expire no later than ten
years after the date of grant. 
 D. No Incentive Stock Options shall be granted to any participant who, at the time such
option is granted, would own (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the employer corporation or of its parent or subsidiary corporation.

 E. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined with respect to each Incentive Stock Option as of the time such Incentive
Stock Option is granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a participant during any calendar year (under the Plan or any other plan of OMNI or any of its subsidiaries) shall not
exceed $100,000. To the extent that such limitation is exceeded, such options shall not be treated, for federal income tax purposes, as Incentive Stock Options. 
 7. Restricted Stock. 
 7.1. Grant of Restricted Stock. The Committee may award shares of restricted stock to
such officers and key employees as the Committee determines pursuant to the terms of Section 3. An award of restricted stock shall be subject to such restrictions on transfer and forfeitability provisions and such other terms and conditions as
the Committee may determine, subject to the provisions of the Plan. An award of restricted stock may also be subject to the attainment of specified performance goals or targets. To the extent restricted stock is intended to qualify as
performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, it must be granted subject to the attainment of performance goals as described in Section 7.2 below and meet the additional requirements imposed by Section 162(m).

 7.2. Performance-Based Restricted Stock. To the extent that restricted stock granted under the Plan is intended to vest based upon the
achievement of pre-established performance goals rather than solely upon continued employment over a period of time, the performance goals pursuant to which the restricted stock shall vest shall be any or a combination of the following performance
measures: earnings per share, return on assets, an economic value added measure, stockholder return, earnings, stock price, return on equity, return on total capital, safety performance, reduction of expenses or increase in cash flow of OMNI, a
division of OMNI or a subsidiary. For any performance period, such performance objectives may be measured on an absolute basis or relative to a group of peer companies selected by the Committee, relative to internal goals or relative to levels
attained in prior years. The Committee may not waive any of the pre-established performance goal objectives, except that such objectives shall be waived as provided in Section 10.11 hereof, or as may be provided by the Committee in the event of
death, disability or retirement. 
 7.3. The Restricted Period. At the time an award of restricted stock is made, the Committee shall
establish a period of time during which the transfer of the shares of restricted stock shall be restricted (the “Restricted Period”). The Restricted Period shall be a minimum of three years, except that if the vesting of the shares of
restricted stock is based upon the attainment of performance goals, a minimum Restricted Period of one year is permitted. Each award of restricted stock may have a different Restricted Period. The expiration of the Restricted Period shall also occur
as provided under Section 10.3 and under the conditions described in Section 10.11 hereof. 
 7.4. Escrow. The participant
receiving restricted stock shall enter into an Incentive Agreement with the Company setting forth the conditions of the grant. Certificates representing shares of restricted stock shall be registered in the name of the participant and deposited with
the Company, together with a stock power endorsed in blank by the participant. Each such certificate shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
 The transferability of this certificate and the shares of Common Stock represented by it are subject to the terms and conditions
(including conditions of forfeiture) contained in the OMNI Energy Services Corp. Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and an agreement entered into between the registered owner and OMNI Energy Services Corp. thereunder. Copies of the Plan
and the agreement are on file at the principal office of OMNI Energy Services Corp. 

 7.5. Dividends on Restricted Stock. Any and all cash and stock dividends paid with respect to the shares
of restricted stock shall be subject to any restrictions on transfer, forfeitability provisions or reinvestment requirements as the Committee may, in its discretion, prescribe in the Incentive Agreement. 
 7.6. Forfeiture. In the event of the forfeiture of any shares of restricted stock under the terms provided in the Incentive Agreement (including any
additional shares of restricted stock that may result from the reinvestment of cash and stock dividends, if so provided in the Incentive Agreement), such forfeited shares shall be surrendered and the certificates cancelled. The participants shall
have the same rights and privileges, and be subject to the same forfeiture provisions, with respect to any additional shares received pursuant to Section 10.5 due to a recapitalization, merger or other change in capitalization. 
 7.7. Expiration of Restricted Period. Upon the expiration or termination of the Restricted Period and the satisfaction of any other conditions prescribed
by the Committee, the restrictions applicable to the restricted stock shall lapse and a stock certificate for the number of shares of restricted stock with respect to which the restrictions have lapsed shall be delivered, free of all such
restrictions and legends, except any that may be imposed by law, to the participant or the participant’s estate, as the case may be. 
 7.8. Rights as a Stockholder. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and subject to any restrictions on the receipt of dividends that may be imposed in the Incentive Agreement, each participant receiving restricted stock shall have
all the rights of a stockholder with respect to shares of stock during the Restricted Period, including without limitation, the right to vote any shares of Common Stock. 
 8. Other Stock-Based Awards. 
 8.1. Terms of Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee is hereby authorized to
grant to eligible employees an “Other Stock-Based Award”, which shall consist of an award, the value of which is based in whole or in part on the value of shares of Common Stock, that is not an instrument or Award specified in Sections 6
or 7 of the Plan. Other Stock-Based Awards may be awards of shares of Common Stock or may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, shares of Common Stock (including, without
limitation, securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock), as deemed by the Committee, consistent with the purposes of the Plan. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of any such Other
Stock-Based Award and may provide that such awards would be payable in whole or in part in cash. Except in the case of an Other Stock-Based Award granted in assumption of or in substitution for an outstanding award of a company acquired by the
Company or with which the Company combines, the price at which securities may be purchased pursuant to any Other Stock-Based Award granted under this Plan, or the provision, if any, of any such award that is analogous to the purchase or exercise
price, shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the securities to which such award relates on the date of grant. 
 8.2.
Dividend Equivalents. In the sole and complete discretion of the Committee, an Other Stock-Based Award under this Section 8 may provide the holder thereof with dividends or dividend equivalents, payable in cash or shares of Common Stock on a
current or deferred basis. 
 8.3. Performance Goals. Other Stock-Based Awards intended to qualify as “performance-based
compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code shall be paid based upon the achievement of pre-established performance goals. The performance goals pursuant to which Other Stock-Based Awards granted under the Plan shall be earned shall be
any or a combination of the following performance measures: earnings per share, return on assets, an economic value added measure, stockholder return, earnings, stock price, return on equity, return on total capital, safety performance, reduction of
expenses or increase in cash flow of the Company, a division of the Company or a subsidiary. For any performance period, such performance goals may be measured on an absolute basis or relative to a group of peer companies selected by the Committee,
relative to internal goals or relative to levels attained in prior years. The Committee may not waive any of the pre-established performance goal objectives if such Other Stock-Based Award is intended to constitute “performance-based
compensation” under Section 162(m), except that such objectives shall be waived as provided in Section 10.11 hereof, or as may be provided by the Committee in the event of death, disability or retirement. 

 8.4. Not a Stockholder. The grant of an Other Stock-Based Award to a participant shall not create any
rights in such participant as a stockholder of the Company, until the issuance of shares of Common Stock with respect to an award, at which time such stock shall be considered issued and outstanding. 
 9. Stock Options for Outside Directors. 
 9.1. Grant of Options. Upon consummation of the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) of its Common Stock, each Outside Director shall be granted non-qualified options to purchase 3,333 shares of Common Stock. At any
time thereafter that an Outside Director first becomes a member of the Board of Directors of OMNI, such Outside Director shall also be granted non-qualified options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock. In addition, beginning with the 1998
annual meeting of stockholders and for as long as the Plan remains in effect and shares of Common Stock remain available for issuance hereunder, each Outside Director shall be automatically granted a non-qualified stock option to purchase 5,000
shares of Common Stock on the day following the annual meeting of stockholders of OMNI. 
 9.2. Exercisability of Stock Options. The stock
options granted to Outside Directors under this Section 9 shall become exercisable one year after grant and shall expire ten years following the date of grant. 
 9.3. Exercise Price. The exercise price of the options granted upon consummation of the IPO shall be equal to the IPO price. The exercise price of the options granted to Outside Directors thereafter shall be equal to
the Fair Market Value, as defined in the Plan, of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. The exercise price may be paid as provided in Section 6.4 hereof. 
 9.4. Exercise After Termination of Board Service. In the event an Outside Director ceases to serve on the Board, the stock options granted hereunder must be exercised, to the extent otherwise exercisable at the time
of termination of Board service, within three months from termination of Board service; provided, however, that in the event of termination of Board service as a result of death, disability or retirement on or after reaching age 65, the stock
options must be exercised, to the extent exercisable at the time of termination of Board service, within 18 months from the date of termination of Board service; and further provided, that no stock options may be exercised later than ten years after
the date of grant. 
 10. General. 
 10.1. Duration. Subject to Section 10.10, the Plan shall remain in effect until all Incentives granted under the Plan have either been satisfied by the issuance of shares of Common Stock or the payment of cash or been terminated under
the terms of the Plan and all restrictions imposed on shares of Common Stock in connection with their issuance under the Plan have lapsed. 
 10.2. Transferability. No Incentives granted hereunder may be transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered by a participant except: (a) by will; (b) by the laws of descent and distribution; (c) pursuant to a
domestic relations order, as defined in the Code, if permitted by the Committee and so provided in the Incentive Agreement or an amendment thereto; or (d) as to options only, if permitted by the Committee and so provided in the Incentive
Agreement or an amendment thereto, (i) to Immediate Family Members, (ii) to a partnership in which Immediate Family Members, or entities in which Immediate Family Members are the sole owners, members or beneficiaries, as appropriate, are
the sole partners, (iii) to a limited liability company in which Immediate Family Members, or entities in which Immediate Family Members are the sole owners, members or beneficiaries, as appropriate, are the sole members, or (iv) to a
trust for the sole benefit of Immediate Family Members. “Immediate Family Members” shall be defined as the spouse and natural or adopted children or grandchildren of the participant and their spouses. To the extent that an Incentive Stock
Option is permitted to be transferred during the lifetime of the participant, it shall be treated thereafter as a nonqualified stock option. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of Incentives, or levy of
attachment or similar process upon Incentives not specifically permitted herein, shall be null and void and without effect. 

 10.3. Effect of Termination of Employment or Death. Except as provided in Section 9.4 with respect
to Outside Directors, in the event that a participant ceases to be an employee of the Company for any reason, including death, disability, early retirement or normal retirement, any Incentives may be exercised, shall vest or shall expire at such
times as may be determined by the Committee in the Incentive Agreement. The Committee has complete authority to modify the treatment of an Incentive in the event of termination of employment of a participant by means of an amendment to the Incentive
Agreement. Consent of the participant to the modification is required only if the modification materially impairs the rights previously provided to the participant in the Incentive Agreement. 
 10.4. Additional Condition. Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding: (a) the Company may, if it shall determine it necessary or
desirable for any reason, at the time of award of any Incentive or the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any Incentive, require the recipient of the Incentive, as a condition to the receipt thereof or to the receipt of shares of
Common Stock issued pursuant thereto, to deliver to the Company a written representation of present intention to acquire the Incentive or the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant thereto for his own account for investment and not for distribution;
and (b) if at any time the Company further determines, in its sole discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification (or any updating of any such document) of any Incentive or the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant thereto is
necessary on any securities exchange or under any federal or state securities or blue sky law, or that the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with the award of any
Incentive, the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto, or the removal of any restrictions imposed on such shares, such Incentive shall not be awarded or such shares of Common Stock shall not be issued or such restrictions shall not be
removed, as the case may be, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. 
 10.5. Adjustment. In the event of any merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company with any other corporation or corporations, there shall be
substituted for each of the shares of Common Stock then subject to the Plan, including shares subject to restrictions, options or achievement of performance objectives, the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities to which the holders
of the shares of Common Stock will be entitled pursuant to the transaction. In the event of any recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares or other change in the Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock then
subject to the Plan, including shares subject to outstanding Incentives, shall be adjusted in proportion to the change in outstanding shares of Common Stock. In the event of any such adjustments, the purchase price of any option, the performance
objectives of any Incentive, and the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any Incentive shall be adjusted as and to the extent appropriate, in the reasonable discretion of the Committee, to provide participants with the same relative rights
before and after such adjustment. No substitution or adjustment shall require the Company to issue a fractional share under this Plan and the substitution or adjustment shall be limited by deleting any fractional share. 
 10.6. Incentive Agreements. The terms of each Incentive granted to an employee, officer, consultant or advisor shall be stated in an agreement approved
by the Committee. 
 10.7. Withholding. 
 A. The Company shall have the right to withhold from any payments made under the Plan or to collect as a condition of payment, any taxes required by law to be withheld. At any time that a participant is required to
pay to the Company an amount required to be withheld under applicable income tax laws in connection with the issuance of Common Stock, the lapse of restrictions on Common Stock or the exercise of an option, the participant may, subject to
disapproval by the Committee, satisfy this obligation in whole or in part by electing (the “Election”) to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The value of the shares
to be withheld shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld shall be determined (“Tax Date”). 

 B. Each Election must be made prior to the Tax Date. The Committee may disapprove of any
Election, may suspend or terminate the right to make Elections, or may provide with respect to any Incentive that the right to make Elections shall not apply to such Incentive. If a participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the
Internal Revenue Code with respect to shares of restricted stock, an Election is not permitted to be made. 
 10.8. No Continued Employment.
No participant under the Plan shall have any right, because of his or her participation, to continue in the employ of the Company for any period of time or to any right to continue his or her present or any other rate of compensation. 
 10.9. Deferral Permitted. Payment of cash or distribution of any shares of Common Stock to which a participant is entitled under any Incentive shall be
made as provided in the Incentive Agreement. Payment may be deferred at the option of the participant if provided in the Incentive Agreement. 
 10.10. Amendments to or Termination of the Plan. 
 A. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any
portion thereof at any time, provided that no amendment shall be made without stockholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement, including any approval necessary to qualify Incentives as
“performance- based” compensation under Section 162(m) or any successor provision, if such qualification is deemed necessary or advisable by the Committee. 
 B. Any provision of this Plan or any Incentive Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Committee may cause any Incentive granted
hereunder to be cancelled in consideration of a cash payment or alternative Incentive made to the holder of such cancelled Incentive equal in value to such cancelled Incentive. The determinations of value under this subparagraph shall be made by the
Committee in its sole discretion. 
 10.11. Change of Control. 
 A. “Change of Control” shall mean: 
 1. the acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the 1934 Act of
beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act) of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection 1., the following shall not constitute a
Change of Control: 
 (a) any acquisition of Common Stock directly or indirectly from OMNI, or Advantage Capital Companies,

 (b) any acquisition of Common Stock by OMNI, 
 c) any acquisition of Common Stock by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by OMNI or any corporation
controlled by OMNI, or 
 (d) any acquisition of Common Stock by any corporation pursuant to a transaction that complies with
clauses (a), (b) and (c) of subsection (A)(3) of this Section 10.11; or 
 2. individuals who, as of the date
of adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors of OMNI (the “Adoption Date”), constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any
individual becoming a director subsequent to the Adoption Date whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at 

 least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered a member of
the Incumbent Board, unless such individual’s initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies
or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Incumbent Board; or 
 3. Approval by the stockholders of OMNI of a
reorganization, merger or consolidation, or sale or other disposition of all of substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, 
 (a) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of OMNI’s outstanding common stock and
OMNI’s voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors immediately prior to such Business Combination have direct or indirect beneficial ownership, respectively, of more than 50% of the then outstanding shares of
common stock, and more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (which, for purposes of this
paragraph (a) and paragraphs (b) and (c), shall include a corporation which as a result of such transaction controls the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries),
and 
 (b) except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination, no person (excluding any
corporation resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan or related trust of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 30% or more of the then
outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or 30% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation, and 
 (c) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members
of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or 
 4. approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 
 B. Upon a Change of Control, all outstanding options shall automatically become fully exercisable, all restrictions or limitations on any Incentives shall lapse and all performance criteria and other conditions
relating to the payment of Incentives shall be deemed to be achieved or waived by the Company, without the necessity of any action by any person. 
 C. No later than 30 days after the approval by the Board of a Change of Control of the types described in Subsections A.3 and A.4 of this Section 10.11, and no later than 30 days after a Change of Control of the
type described in Subsections A.1 and A.2 of this Section 10.11 of the Plan, the Committee (as the Committee was composed immediately prior to such Change of Control and notwithstanding any removal or attempted removal of some or all of the
members thereof as directors or Committee members), acting in its sole discretion without the consent or approval of any participant, may act to effect one or more of the alternatives listed below and such act by the Committee may not be revoked or
rescinded by persons not members of the Committee immediately prior to the Change of Control: 
 1. require that all
outstanding options be exercised on or before a specified date (before or after such Change of Control) fixed by the Committee, after which specified date all unexercised options shall terminate, 

 2. make such equitable adjustments to Incentives then outstanding as the Committee deems
appropriate to reflect such Change of Control (provided, however, that the Committee may determine in its sole discretion that no adjustment is necessary), or 
 3. provide that thereafter upon any exercise of an option the participant shall be entitled to purchase under such option, in lieu of the
number of shares of Common Stock then covered by such option, the number and class of shares of stock or other securities or property (including, without limitation, cash) to which the participant would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of
the agreement providing for the merger, consolidation, asset sale, dissolution or other Change of Control of the type described in Sections 10.11.A.3 and A.4 of the Plan, if, immediately prior to such Change of Control, the participant had been the
holder of record of the number of shares of Common Stock then covered by such options. 
 10.12. Definition of Fair Market Value. Whenever
“Fair Market Value” of Common Stock shall be determined for purposes of this Plan, it shall be determined as follows: (i) if the Common Stock is listed on an established stock exchange or any automated quotation system that provides
sale quotations, the closing sale price for a share of the Common Stock on such exchange or quotation system on the applicable date; (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed on any exchange or quotation system, but bid and asked prices are quoted
and published, the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices on the applicable date, and if bid and asked prices are not available on such day, on the next preceding day on which such prices were available; and (iii) if the Common Stock is
not regularly quoted, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the applicable date as established by the Committee in good faith. 
 10.13. Loans. In order to assist a participant in acquiring shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Incentive granted under the Plan, the Committee may authorize, subject to the provisions of Regulation G of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, at either the time of the grant of the Incentive, at the time of the acquisition of Common Stock pursuant to the Incentive, or at the time of the lapse of restrictions on shares of restricted stock granted under the Plan, the
extension of a loan to the participant by the Company. The terms of any loans, including the interest rate, collateral and terms of repayment, will be subject to the discretion of the Committee. The maximum credit available hereunder shall be equal
to the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock to be acquired pursuant to the Incentive plus the maximum tax liability that may be incurred in connection with the Incentive. 
 10.14. Tax Benefit Rights. The Committee may grant a tax benefit right (“TBR”) to a participant in the Plan on such terms as the Committee in
its discretion shall determine. A TBR may be granted only with respect to an Incentive granted under the Plan and may be granted concurrently with or after the grant of the Incentive. A TBR shall entitle a participant to receive from the Company an
amount in cash not to exceed the product of the ordinary income, if any, which the participant may realize as the result of the exercise of an option or the grant or vesting of restricted stock or an Other Stock-Based Award (including any income
realized as a result of the related TBR) multiplied by the then applicable highest stated federal and state tax rate for individuals. The Committee shall determine all terms and provisions of the TBR granted hereunder.
