Winchester (the “Executive”) and Seventy Seven Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). 

WHEREAS, the Executive is currently employed by the Company; and 

WHEREAS, the Executive desires to continue to be employed by the Company and the Company desires to continue to employ the Executive, all on
the terms and conditions set forth herein; and 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises and obligations set
forth herein, the parties agree as follows: 
 1.    Term. The Executive’s employment with the Company
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be effective as of September 23, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), and shall continue until the third anniversary of the Effective Date, unless the Executive’s employment is
terminated earlier pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement. If the Executive’s employment is not terminated, or no notice of termination of the Executive’s employment has been provided, pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement prior to
the third anniversary of the Effective Date or each annual anniversary thereafter, this Agreement and the Executive’s employment shall be deemed to be automatically extended, upon the same terms and conditions, for successive periods of one
year. The period during which the Executive is employed by the Company hereunder is hereinafter referred to as the “Employment Term.” 

2.    Position and Duties. 

2.1    Position. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall serve as the President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, reporting to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). In such position, the Executive shall have such duties, authority and responsibility as shall be determined from time to time by the Board,
which duties, authority and responsibility are consistent with the Executive’s position. The Executive shall, if requested, also serve as a member of the Board or as an officer or director of any affiliate of the Company and shall provide
services to affiliates of the Company consistent with his position and duties, in each case for no additional compensation. 

2.2    Duties. During the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall devote
substantially all of his business time and attention to the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder and will not engage in any other business, profession or occupation for compensation or otherwise which would conflict or interfere with
the performance of such services either directly or indirectly without the prior written consent of the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive will be permitted to (a) with the prior written consent of the Board (which consent will
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), act or serve as a director, trustee, committee member or principal of any type of business, civic or charitable organization, and (b) purchase or own less than five percent (5%) of the publicly
traded securities of any publicly traded entity; provided, that, such ownership represents a passive investment and that the Executive is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls, such entity; provided further, that, the
activities described in clauses (a) and (b) do not materially interfere with the performance of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the Company as provided hereunder, including, but not limited to, the obligations set forth in this
Section 2, or otherwise violate the provisions of this Agreement. 

 3.    Place of Performance. The principal place of the
Executive’s employment shall be the Company’s principal executive office currently located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; provided, that, the Executive may be required to travel on routine Company business during the Employment Term. 

4.    Compensation. 

4.1.    Base Salary. Beginning as of the Effective Date, the Company shall pay the Executive an annual rate of
base salary of $845,500 in periodic installments in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices, but no less frequently than monthly. Each calendar year during the Employment Term, the Company will review Executive’s
performance and determine whether to increase the Executive’s annual base salary. The Executive’s annual base salary, as in effect from time to time, is hereinafter referred to as “Base Salary.” 

4.2.    Annual Bonus. The Executive shall have the opportunity to earn an annual bonus (the “Annual
Bonus”) pursuant to the terms of the Company’s bonus plan(s) available to similarly-situated executives of the Company. The timing of any Annual Bonus payment will be in accordance with the terms of such plan and applicable
law. In order to be eligible to earn an Annual Bonus, the Executive must be employed by the Company on the last day of the applicable bonus year. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not apply to the quarterly bonuses paid pursuant
to the 2016 Performance Incentive Compensation Plan (“PICP”). 
 4.3.    Long-Term
Incentives. The Executive shall be eligible to receive annual equity awards or other long-term incentives, if any, on such terms and conditions and in such amounts as determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the
Board. 
 4.4.    Fringe Benefits and Perquisites. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be
entitled to fringe benefits and perquisites consistent with the practices of the Company for similarly-situated executives. 

4.5.    Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all
employee benefit plans, practices and programs maintained by the Company or an affiliate, as in effect from time to time (collectively, “Employee Benefit Plans”), on terms and conditions which are substantially comparable to those
applicable to similarly-situated executives of the Company, in all cases to the extent consistent with applicable law and the terms of the applicable Employee Benefit Plans. The Company reserves the right to amend or cancel any Employee Benefit
Plan at any time in its sole discretion, subject to the terms of such Employee Benefit Plan and applicable law. 

4.6.    Vacation; Paid Time-off. During the Employment
Term, the Executive shall be entitled to 30 paid vacation days per calendar year (prorated for partial years) in accordance with the Company’s vacation policies, as in effect from time to time. The Executive shall receive other paid time-off in accordance with the Company’s policies for similarly-situated executives of the Company as such policies may exist from time to time. 

4.7.    Business Expenses. The Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket business, entertainment and travel expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder in accordance
with the Company’s expense reimbursement policies and procedures and the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

  
 2 

 4.8.    Indemnification.

(a)    In the event that the Executive is made a party or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit, or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), other than any Proceeding initiated by or on behalf of the Executive or the Company related to any contest or dispute between the Executive and
the Company or any of its affiliates with respect to this Agreement or the Executive’s employment hereunder, by reason of the fact that the Executive is or was a director or officer of the Company, or any affiliate of the Company, or is or was
serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, the Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the
maximum extent permitted under applicable law and the Company’s organizational documents from and against any liabilities, costs, claims and expenses, including all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in defense of any Proceeding (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees). Reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Executive in defense of such Proceeding (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) shall be paid or reimbursed by the Company in advance of the final disposition
of such litigation upon receipt by the Company of: (i) a written request for payment; (ii) appropriate documentation evidencing the incurrence, amount and nature of the costs and expenses for which payment is being sought; and (iii) an
undertaking adequate under applicable law made by or on behalf of the Executive to repay the amounts so paid if it shall ultimately be determined that the Executive is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under this Agreement or applicable
law; provided, however, that the timing of any such payments or reimbursements shall be subject to the provisions of Section 21.3 of this Agreement. 

(b)    During the Executive’s employment with the Company and for a period of six (6) years thereafter, the Company
or any successor to the Company shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage to the Executive on terms that are no less favorable than the coverage provided to other
directors and similarly-situated executives of the Company. 
 5.    Termination of Employment. The
Employment Term and the Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by either the Company or the Executive at any time and for any reason; provided, however, that, unless otherwise provided herein, either party shall be required
to give the other party at least 60 days’ advance written notice of any termination of the Executive’s employment during the Employment Term; and provided further that, the Company shall be permitted to relieve the Executive of the
Executive’s duties prior to the Termination Date (and such action shall not constitute Good Reason). Upon termination of the Executive’s employment during the Employment Term, the Executive shall be entitled to the compensation and
benefits described in this Section 5 and the indemnification rights described in Section 4.8 and shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits from the Company or any of its affiliates. 

5.1.    For Cause or Without Good Reason.  

(a)    The Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company for Cause or by the Executive without
Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason during the Employment Term, the Executive shall be entitled to receive: 

(i)    any accrued but unpaid Base Salary and accrued but unused vacation, which amounts shall be paid on the next
scheduled pay date following the Termination Date (as defined below) in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll procedures (or such earlier date required by applicable law); 

  
 3 

 (ii)    any earned but unpaid Annual Bonus with respect to the calendar or
fiscal year ending immediately preceding the Termination Date, which shall be paid on the otherwise applicable payment date except to the extent payment is otherwise deferred pursuant to any applicable deferred compensation arrangement; 

(iii)    reimbursement for unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by the Executive, which shall be subject to
and paid in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy and the terms of this Agreement; and 

(iv)    such employee benefits (including equity compensation), if any, to which the Executive may be entitled under the
express provisions of the Employee Benefit Plans as of the Termination Date; provided, however, that, in no event shall the Executive be entitled to any payments in the nature of severance or termination payments except as specifically
provided herein. 
 Items 5.1(a)(i) through 5.1(a)(iv) are referred to herein collectively as the “Accrued Amounts.” 

(b)    For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: 

(i)    the Executive’s willful and continued failure to perform substantially his duties with the Company and its
affiliates (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness); 
 (ii)    the
Executive’s willful engagement in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company or any of its affiliates; or 

(iii)    the Executive’s material breach of any material obligation under this Agreement. 

For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act on the part of the Executive shall be considered “willful” unless it
is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to
a resolution duly adopted by the Board or upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. 

Termination of the Executive’s employment shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and until the Company delivers to the Executive a
copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the Board (after reasonable written notice is provided to the Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before the
Board), finding that the Executive has engaged in the conduct described in any of (i)-(iii) above. Except for a failure, breach or refusal which, by its nature, cannot reasonably be expected to be cured, the Executive shall have ten (10) business
days from the delivery date of the Notice of Termination within which to cure any acts constituting Cause. The Company may place the Executive on paid leave for up to 60 days while it is determining whether there is a basis to terminate the
Executive’s employment for Cause. Such paid leave will not constitute Good Reason.
 (c)    For purposes of
this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following, in each case during the Employment Term without the Executive’s written consent: 

  
 4 

 (i)    a reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary; 

(ii)    a permanent relocation of the Executive’s principal place of employment by more than 30 miles from the
location in effect immediately prior to such relocation; 
 (iii)    any material breach by the Company of any material
provision of this Agreement; 
 (iv)    the Company’s failure to obtain an agreement from any successor to the
Company to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no succession had taken place, except where such assumption occurs by operation of law; 

(v)    a material diminution in the nature or scope of the Executive’s authority or responsibilities from those
applicable to the Executive as of the Effective Date (or as modified thereafter consistent with this Agreement); or 

(vi)    a material diminution in the duties associated with the positions described in Section 2 as such duties are
constituted as of the Effective Date. 
 The Executive cannot terminate his employment for Good Reason unless he has provided written notice
to the Company of the existence of the circumstances providing grounds for termination for Good Reason within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of such grounds and the Company has had at least thirty (30) days from the date on which such
notice is provided to cure such circumstances. If the Executive does not deliver a Notice of Termination for Good Reason within thirty (30) days after such cure period, then the Executive will be deemed to have waived his right to terminate for
Good Reason with respect to such grounds. 
 5.2.    Without Cause or for Good Reason. The Employment Term
and the Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated (i) by the Executive for Good Reason or (ii) by the Company without Cause (other than on account of the Executive’s death or Disability), which includes the Company’s
termination of employment in connection with a notice of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 1. In the event of such termination of employment during the Employment Term, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the Accrued
Amounts and, subject to the Executive’s compliance with Sections 6 - 9 of this Agreement and satisfaction of the Release Requirements (as defined below) as of the Payment Date (as defined below), the
following: 
 (a)    An amount equal to the sum of the following: (i) two (2) times the sum of the
Executive’s Base Salary for the year in which the Termination Date occurs; plus, (ii) two (2) times the greater of (1) the Executive’s Annual Bonus received for the immediately preceding year or (2) the Executive’s target bonus, if
any, for year in which such termination occurs. Such amount shall be paid in substantially equal monthly installments beginning on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date (the
“Payment Date”) and continuing through the end of the twelve (12)-month period beginning on the Termination Date; 

(b)    twelve (12) months of outplacement services in an amount not to exceed $25,000 by an outplacement firm selected by
the Company to assist the Executive in search of a new position commencing as of the Payment Date; and 
 (c)    if the
Executive timely and properly elects continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), the Company shall reimburse the 

  
 5 

 
Executive for the monthly COBRA premium paid by the Executive for himself and his dependents. Any such reimbursement for the period prior to the Payment Date shall be paid to the Executive
in a lump sum on the Payment Date and any reimbursement for any month (or portion thereof) on and after the Payment Date shall be paid to the Executive on the tenth day of the month immediately following the month in which the Executive timely
remits the premium payment. The Executive shall be eligible to receive such reimbursement until the earliest of: (i) the 18-month anniversary of the Termination Date; (ii) the date the Executive is no longer eligible to receive COBRA
continuation coverage; and (iii) the date on which the Executive becomes eligible to receive substantially similar coverage from another employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company’s making payments under this
Section 5.2(c) would violate the nondiscrimination rules applicable to non-grandfathered group health plans, or result in the imposition of penalties under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and the related regulations and
guidance promulgated thereunder (“PPACA”), the parties agree to reform this Section 5.2(c) in a manner as is necessary to comply with PPACA; and 

(d)    any supplemental matching contributions pursuant to the Company’s deferred compensation plan (the
“401(k) Make-up Plan”) shall become fully vested as of the Payment Date and will be paid or settled in accordance with the terms of the 401(k) Make-up Plan; provided,
however, that any settlement or payment provisions of such 401(k) Make-up Plan that are required under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), shall remain in effect and shall not be
accelerated or further deferred in violation of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”). 
 If the Release Requirements
are not satisfied as of the Payment Date, the Executive will not be entitled to any payments or benefits pursuant this Agreement other than the Accrued Amounts. In the event that a payment or benefit is not subject to Section 409A, the Company,
in its sole discretion, may accelerate the Payment Date with respect to such payment or benefit and such accelerated date shall be the Payment Date for all purposes of this Agreement with respect to such payment or benefit. In addition, if
after the date that the Company begins making severance installment payments pursuant to Section 5.2(a), the Company determines that the Executive has violated any provision in Sections 6-9 of this Agreement, the Company may, in its sole discretion,
declare all remaining severance installment payments due under this Agreement forfeited by the Executive, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may require the Executive to repay to the Company all prior severance installment payments made
to the Executive by the Company. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, the “Release Requirements” shall be satisfied as of any
date if, as of such date, (I) the Executive has executed and returned to the Company a release of claims, in favor of the Company, its affiliates and their respective officers and directors in a form provided by the Company (the
“Release”), with such form including provisions requiring, among other things, the Executive to cooperate with it in future litigation or similar proceedings and clauses protecting the Company from the Executive’s disparagement
of it, or the Executive’s future efforts to secure employment with it, (II) any applicable revocation period has expired, (III) the Executive has not revoked the Release, and (IV) the Release is effective as of such date. 

5.3.    Death or Disability.

(a)    The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death during the
Employment Term (without regard to any Notice of Termination), and the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment on account of the Executive’s Disability. 

(b)    If the Executive’s employment is terminated during the Employment Term on account of the Executive’s
death, the Executive or the Executive’s estate and/or beneficiaries, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Amounts and, the initial equity-based 

  
 6 

 
compensation award granted in September 2016 to the Executive pursuant to the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Initial Equity”) and any supplemental matching contributions
pursuant to the 401(k) Make-up Plan shall become fully vested and will be paid or settled in accordance with their terms; provided, however, that any settlement or payment provisions of such Initial
Equity or 401(k) Make-up Plan that are set forth in the applicable award agreement, plan and other applicable governing documents and that are required under Section 409A shall remain in effect and shall not be accelerated or further deferred
in violation of Section 409A. 
 (c)    If the Executive’s employment is terminated during the Employment Term on
account of the Executive’s Disability, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Amounts and, subject to the Executive’s compliance with Sections 6-9 of this Agreement, the following: 

(i)    An amount equal to two (2) times the Executive’s Base Salary for the year in which the Termination Date
occurs, which amount shall be paid in substantially equal monthly installments beginning on the Payment Date and continuing through the end of the twelve (12)-month period beginning on the Termination Date; and 

(ii)    the Initial Equity and any supplemental matching contributions pursuant to the 401(k) Make-up Plan shall become fully vested and will be paid or settled in accordance with their terms; provided, however, that any settlement or payment provisions of such Initial Equity or 401(k) Make-up Plan
that are set forth in the applicable award agreement, plan and other applicable governing documents and that are required under Section 409A shall remain in effect and shall not be accelerated or further deferred in violation of Section 409A.

 Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all payments made in connection with the Executive’s Disability shall be
provided in a manner which is consistent with federal and state law. 
 (d)    For purposes of this Agreement,
“Disability” shall mean the Executive’s inability, due to physical or mental incapacity, to substantially perform his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement for one hundred eighty (180) days out of any three hundred sixty-five (365) day period. Any question as to the existence of the Executive’s Disability as to which the Executive and the Company cannot agree shall be determined in writing by a qualified independent
physician mutually acceptable to the Executive and the Company. If the Executive and the Company cannot agree as to a qualified independent physician, each shall appoint such a physician and those two physicians shall select a third who shall
make such determination in writing. The determination of Disability made in writing to the Company and the Executive shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement. 

5.4.    Termination in Connection with a Change in Control. Notwithstanding any other provision
contained herein other than Section 5.9, if the Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated during the Employment Term and during the six -month period prior to the effective date of Change in Control or the
24-month period following the effective date of a Change in Control (i) by the Executive for Good Reason or (ii) by the Company without Cause (other than on account of the Executive’s death or
Disability), the Executive shall be entitled to the Accrued Amounts and, subject to the Executive’s compliance with Sections 6-9 of this Agreement and satisfaction of the Release Requirements as of the Payment Date, the Executive shall be
entitled to receive the following: 
 (a)    An amount equal to the sum of the following: (i) 2.99 times the
Executive’s Base Salary for the year in which the Termination Date occurs (or if greater, the year immediately preceding the year in which the Change in Control occurs), plus (ii) 2.99 times the greater of (i) the Executive’s Annual Bonus
received for the immediately preceding year or (ii) the Executive’s 

  
 7 

 
target bonus, if any, for the year in which the Termination Date occurs. Such amount shall be paid in substantially equal monthly installments beginning on the Payment Date and continuing
through the end of the twelve (12)-month period beginning on the Termination Date; provided, that the enhanced severance benefit due under this Section 5.4(a) that is in excess of the severance benefits payable under Section 5.2(a) for a termination
within six months prior to the effective date of a Change in Control that would have been paid for the period from the Termination Date until the Change in Control, shall be paid in a lump sum payment within thirty (30) days following the occurrence
of the Change in Control and the remaining enhanced severance benefit due under this Section 5.4(a) shall be paid in substantially equally monthly installments through the end of the 12-month period beginning on the Termination Date; and 

(b)    if the Executive timely and properly elects continuation coverage under COBRA, the Company shall reimburse the
Executive for the monthly COBRA premium paid by the Executive for himself and his dependents. Such reimbursement shall be paid to the Executive on the tenth day of the month immediately following the month in which the Executive timely remits
the premium payment. Any such reimbursement for the period prior to the Payment Date shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum on the Payment Date and any reimbursement for any month (or portion thereof) on and after the Payment Date shall
paid to the Executive on the tenth day of the month immediately following the month in which the Executive timely remits the premium payment. Executive shall be eligible to receive such reimbursement until the earliest of: (i) the 18-month
anniversary of the Termination Date; (ii) the date the Executive is no longer eligible to receive COBRA continuation coverage; and (iii) the date on which the Executive receives substantially similar coverage from another
employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company’s making payments under this Section 5.4(b) would violate the nondiscrimination rules applicable to non-grandfathered plans, or result in the imposition of penalties under PPACA,
the parties agree to reform this Section 5.4(b) in a manner as is necessary to comply with PPACA; and 

(c)    any supplemental matching contributions pursuant to the 401(k) Make-up
Plan shall become fully and will be paid or settled in accordance with the terms of the 401(k) Make-up Plan; provided, however, that any settlement or payment provisions of such 401(k) Make-up Plan that are required under Section 409A
shall remain in effect and shall not be accelerated or further deferred in violation of Section 409A. 
 If the Release Requirements are not
satisfied as of the Payment Date, the Executive will not be entitled to any payments or benefits pursuant this Agreement other than the Accrued Amounts. In addition, if after the date that the Company begins making severance installment
payments pursuant to Section 5.4(a), the Company determines that the Executive has violated any provision in Sections 6-9 of this Agreement, the Company may, in its sole discretion, declare all remaining severance installment payments due under this
Agreement forfeited by the Executive, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may require the Executive to repay to the Company all prior severance installment payments made to the Executive by the Company.

be, of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity which, as a result of such transaction, owns the Company or all or substantially all the Company’s assets either directly or through one or
more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the FMV Outstanding Equity and the Outstanding Voting Equity, as the case may be; (ii) no Person (excluding any entity
resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such entity resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 40% or more of, respectively, the then

 5.9.    Section 280G. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, this Section 5.9 shall apply in the event of (i) a “change in the ownership or effective control” of the Company or (ii) a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company, each within
the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (collectively, an “Excise Tax Event”). If an Excise Tax Event is consummated, and as a result any payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement, together with any other payments
and benefits which the Executive has the right to receive from the Company or any of its affiliates, would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), then the payments and benefits provided for in
this Agreement shall be either (a) reduced (but not below zero) so that the present value of such total amounts and benefits received by the Executive from the Company and its affiliates will be one dollar ($1.00) less than three times the
Executive’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) and so that no portion of such amounts and benefits received by the Executive shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code,
or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest or penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), or (b) paid in full, whichever produces the
better net after-tax position to the Executive (taking into account any applicable Excise Tax and any other 

  
 10 

 
applicable taxes). The reduction of payments and benefits hereunder, if applicable, shall be made in the following order: (1) by reducing the amounts of any payments or benefits that
would not constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A, to the extent necessary to decrease the payments subject to the Excise Tax, as agreed by the Company and the Executive; (2) next, by reducing, payments or benefits to be paid in cash
hereunder and that constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A in the order in which such payment or benefit would be paid or provided (beginning with such payment or benefit that would be made last in time and continuing, to the extent
necessary, through to such payment or benefit that would be made first in time); and (3) finally, by reducing any non-cash or in-kind benefit to be provided hereunder and that constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A in a similar order to
that described in clause (2). The determination as to whether any such reduction in the amount of the payments and benefits provided hereunder is necessary shall be made by the Company in good faith. If a reduced payment or benefit is made
or provided and through error or otherwise that payment or benefit, when aggregated with other payments and benefits from the Company (or its affiliates) used in determining if a “parachute payment” exists, exceeds one dollar ($1.00) less
than three times the Executive’s base amount, then the Executive shall immediately repay such excess to the Company upon notification that an overpayment has been made. Nothing in this Section 5.9 shall require the Company to be
responsible for, or have any liability or obligation with respect to, the Executive’s Excise Tax liabilities. 

5.10.    Cooperation. The parties agree that certain matters in which the Executive will be involved during
the Employment Term may necessitate the Executive’s cooperation in the future. Accordingly, following the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, to the extent reasonably requested by the Board, the Executive shall
cooperate with the Company in connection with matters arising out of the Executive’s service to the Company; provided that, the Company shall make reasonable efforts to minimize disruption of the Executive’s other activities. The
Company shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation and, to the extent that the Executive is required to spend substantial time on such matters, the Company shall compensate the Executive at an
hourly rate based on the Executive’s Base Salary on the Termination Date, unless such time is as a witness in a legal proceeding, in which case the Company will only pay costs and expenses as permitted by law. 

6.    Confidential Information. The Executive recognizes that the nature of the Executive’s services are
such that the Executive will have access to information that constitutes trade secrets, is of a confidential nature, is of great value to the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “Company Group”) or is the
foundation on which the business of the Company is predicated (“Confidential Information”). The Executive agrees, during his employment and thereafter, not to disclose to any person other than the Company Group’s employees
or the Company Group’s legal counsel or other parties authorized by the Company Group to receive confidential information nor use for any purpose, other than the performance of this Agreement, any Confidential Information. Confidential
Information includes data or material (regardless of form) which is: (a) a trade secret; (b) provided, disclosed or delivered to Executive by the Company, any officer, director, employee, agent, attorney, accountant, consultant or other person
or entity employee by the Company in any capacity, any customer, borrower or business associate of the Company Group or any public authority having jurisdiction over the Company Group of any business activity conducted by the Company Group; or (c)
produced, developed, obtained or prepared by or on behalf of the Executive or the Company Group (whether or not such information was developed in the performance of this Agreement) with respect to the Company Group or any assets, business
activities, officers, directors, employees, borrowers or customers of the foregoing. However, Confidential Information will not include any information, data or material which at the time of disclosure or use was generally available to the
public other than by a breach of this Agreement, was available to the party to whom disclosed on a non-confidential basis by disclosure or access provided by the Company Group or a third party, or was
otherwise developed or obtained independently by the person 

  
 11 

 
to whom disclosed without a breach of this Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, nothing in this Agreement prohibits the Executive from reporting possible violations of federal law or
regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, Congress, and any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the
whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. On request by the Company, the Company will be entitled to a copy of any Confidential Information in the possession of the Executive. The provisions of this Section 6 will survive
the termination, expiration or cancellation of Executive’s employment. The Executive will deliver to the Company all originals and copies of the documents or materials containing Confidential Information. The Executive further agrees
that if the Executive executes additional Company policies or agreements to protect the Confidential Information, this Agreement shall be read in conjunction with any such policies or Agreements to provide the broadest and greatest protection to the
Confidential Information. 
 7.    Protective Covenants. 

7.1.    Acknowledgment. The Executive understands that the nature of the Executive’s position gives him
access to and knowledge of Confidential Information and places him in a position of trust and confidence with the Company Group. The Executive understands and acknowledges that the intellectual services he provides to the Company Group are
unique, special, and extraordinary. The Executive further understands and acknowledges that the Company Group’s ability to reserve these for the exclusive knowledge and use of the Company Group is of great competitive importance and
commercial value to the Company Group, and that improper use or disclosure by the Executive is likely to result in unfair or unlawful competitive activity. 

7.2.    Noncompetition. The Executive covenants and agrees that for a period of twenty-four (24) consecutive
months after the Termination Date, irrespective of the reason for the termination (the “Restricted Period”), the Executive will not directly or indirectly become employed by, provide services to (including, but not limited to, as a
consultant), enter into any business relationship with, or become an owner of a “Company Competitor” as defined as of the Termination Date in the Stockholders Agreement by and among Seventy Seven Energy Inc. and The Other Parties To
This Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2016, and as amended from time to time (“Stockholders Agreement”). The list of Company Competitors as of the Effective Date is set forth in Schedule I of the Stockholders Agreement (which
list, for convenience, has been duplicated as Appendix A to this Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, Company Competitors also include the “Subsidiaries” (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) of the entities listed in Appendix
A. The Executive and the Company agree that Appendix A automatically will be amended upon amendment of Schedule I of the Stockholders Agreement, without further action of the parties. The parties further agree that the geographic scope of
the Executive’s obligations under this Section 7.2 is limited by the geographic scope of the operations of the Company Competitors. Nothing in this Section 7.2 shall be construed as limiting the Executive’s duty of loyalty to the
Company while he is employed by the Company, or any other duty he may otherwise have to the Company while he is employed by the Company. 

7.3.    Nonsolicitation of Employees. The Executive covenants and agrees that during the Restricted Period,
the Executive shall not, individually or jointly with others, directly or indirectly, recruit, hire, encourage, or attempt to recruit or hire, or by assisting others, any employees of the Company Group with whom the Executive worked, had business
contact, or about whom the Executive gained non-public or Confidential Information (hereinafter, “Company Group’s employees or former employees”), nor shall the Executive contact or
communicate with same, other than on behalf or the Company Group, for the purpose of inducing, assisting, encouraging and/or facilitating the Company Group’s employees to terminate their employment with the Company Group or find employment or
work with another person or entity.

  
 12 

 Additionally, the Executive shall not provide or pass along to any person or entity the name,
contact and/or background information about any of the Company Group’s employees or provide references or any other information about them. Additionally, the Executive shall not provide or pass along to the Company Group’s employees
any information regarding potential jobs or entities or persons to work for, including but not limited to, job openings, job postings, or the names or contact information of individuals or companies hiring people or accepting job
applications. Further, the Executive shall not offer employment to or work to any employees of the Company Group’s employees or former employees. For purposes of this covenant “Company Group’s employees or former
employees” shall refer to employees of the Company Group that Executive supervised, was supervised by, or otherwise worked with in any capacity during the twelve (12) month period prior to the Termination Date.

7.4.    Nonsolicitation of Customers. The Executive understands and acknowledges that because of the
Executive’s experience with and relationship to the Company Group, he will have access to and learn about much or all of the Company Group’s customer information and goodwill. “Customer Information” includes, but is not
limited to, names, phone numbers, addresses, e-mail addresses, order history, order preferences, chain of command, pricing information and other information identifying facts and circumstances specific to the
customer and relevant to the oilfield services industry. The Executive understands and acknowledges that loss of this customer relationship and/or goodwill will cause significant and irreparable harm to the Company. The Executive agrees
and covenants, that during the Restricted Period, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit, contact (including but not limited to e-mail, regular mail, express mail, telephone, fax, and instant
message), attempt to contact or meet with the Company’s current customers for purposes of offering or accepting goods or services similar to or competitive with those offered by the Company. 

This restriction shall only apply to: 

(a)    Customers or prospective customers the Executive contacted in any way during the twelve (12) months prior to the
Termination Date. 
 (b)    Customers about whom the Executive has trade secret or confidential information. 

(c)    Customers who became customers during the Executive’s employment with the Company. 

(d)    Customers about whom the Executive has information that is not available publicly. 

7.5.    Reasonableness. The Company and the Executive have attempted to specify a reasonable period of time
and reasonable restrictions to which the provisions of this Section 7 shall apply. The Company and the Executive agree, however, that if a court or agency of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the terms of this Section 7 are not
enforceable because they are overbroad or for any other reason, the provisions of this Section 7 shall be reformed and modified to reflect restrictions that are determined to be reasonable by such court or agency of competent jurisdiction.

8.    Non-disparagement. The Executive agrees and
covenants that he will not at any time make, publish or communicate to any person or entity or in any public forum any defamatory or disparaging remarks, comments or statements concerning the Company Group or its businesses, or any of its employees,
officers, and existing and prospective customers, suppliers, investors and other associated third parties. This Section 8 does not, in any way, restrict or impede the Executive from exercising protected rights to the extent that such
rights cannot be waived by agreement or from complying with any 

  
 13 

 
applicable law or regulation or a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that such compliance does not exceed that required by the law,
regulation or order. The Executive shall promptly provide written notice of any such order to the Company’s General Counsel. The Company agrees and covenants that it shall direct its officers and directors to refrain from making any
defamatory or disparaging remarks, comments or statements concerning the Executive to any third parties. 

9.    Acknowledgement. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the services to be rendered by him to the
Company are of a special and unique character; that the Executive will obtain knowledge and skill relevant to the Company’s industry, methods of doing business and marketing strategies by virtue of the Executive’s employment; and that the
protective covenants and other terms and conditions of this Agreement are reasonable and reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interest of the Company Group. 

10.    Remedies. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Executive of Sections 6 - 9 of this Agreement, the Executive hereby consents and agrees that the Company shall be entitled to seek, in addition to other available remedies, a temporary or permanent injunction or other equitable relief
against such breach or threatened breach from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other
security. The aforementioned equitable relief shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, legal remedies, monetary damages or other available forms of relief. 

11.    Arbitration. The Company and the Executive mutually consent to the final resolution by binding
arbitration in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, of any and all claims or disputes the Company may have against or with the Executive, and/or the Executive may have against or with Company. Arbitration shall be administered exclusively by American
Arbitration Association and shall be conducted consistent with the rules, regulations and requirements thereof for employment disputes as well as any requirements imposed by state law. Any arbitral award determination shall be final and binding
upon the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, expressly excluded from Arbitration are any claims the Executive may have for workers’ compensation benefits or unemployment compensation benefits. Also excluded are claims for
declaratory relief or injunctive relief and/or damages arising from alleged unfair competition or solicitation, theft of trade secrets or business property, or the enforceability or breach of protective covenants. 

12.    Proprietary Rights. 

12.1.    Work Product. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that all writings, works of authorship,
technology, inventions, discoveries, ideas and other work product of any nature whatsoever, that are created, prepared, produced, authored, edited, amended, conceived or reduced to practice by the Executive individually or jointly with others during
the period of his employment by the Company and relating in any way to the business or contemplated business, research or development of the Company (regardless of when or where the Work Product is prepared or whose equipment or other resources is
used in preparing the same) and all printed, physical and electronic copies, all improvements, rights and claims related to the foregoing, and other tangible embodiments thereof (collectively, “Work Product”), as well as any and all
rights in and to copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks (and related goodwill), patents and other intellectual property rights therein arising in any jurisdiction throughout the world and all related rights of priority under international conventions
with respect thereto, including all pending and future applications and registrations therefor, and continuations, divisions, continuations-in-part, reissues, extensions
and renewals thereof (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”), shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. 

  
 14 

 12.2.    Work Made for Hire; Assignment. The Executive
acknowledges that, by reason of being employed by the Company at the relevant times, to the extent permitted by law, all of the Work Product consisting of copyrightable subject matter is “work made for hire” as defined in 17 U.S.C. §
101 and such copyrights are therefore owned by the Company. To the extent that the foregoing does not apply, the Executive hereby irrevocably assigns to the Company, for no additional consideration, the Executive’s entire right, title and
interest in and to all Work Product and Intellectual Property Rights therein, including the right to sue, counterclaim and recover for all past, present and future infringement, misappropriation or dilution thereof, and all rights corresponding
thereto throughout the world. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to reduce or limit the Company’s rights, title or interest in any Work Product or Intellectual Property Rights so as to be less in any respect than that
the Company would have had in the absence of this Agreement. 
 12.3.    Further Assurances; Power of
Attorney. During and after his employment, the Executive agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company to (a) apply for, obtain, perfect and transfer to the Company the Work Product as well as an Intellectual Property Right in the Work
Product in any jurisdiction in the world; and (b) maintain, protect and enforce the same, including, without limitation, executing and delivering to the Company any and all applications, oaths, declarations, affidavits, waivers, assignments and
other documents and instruments as shall be requested by the Company. The Executive hereby irrevocably grants the Company power of attorney to execute and deliver any such documents on the Executive’s behalf in his name and to do all other
lawfully permitted acts to transfer the Work Product to the Company and further the transfer, issuance, prosecution and maintenance of all Intellectual Property Rights therein, to the full extent permitted by law, if the Executive does not promptly
cooperate with the Company’s request (without limiting the rights the Company shall have in such circumstances by operation of law). The power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall not be effected by the Executive’s
subsequent incapacity. 
 12.4.    No License. The Executive understands that this Agreement does not, and
shall not be construed to, grant the Executive any license or right of any nature with respect to any Work Product or Intellectual Property Rights or any Confidential Information, materials, software or other tools made available to him by the
Company. 
 13.    Exit Obligations. Upon voluntary or involuntary termination of the Executive’s
employment, the Executive shall (i) provide or return to the Company any and all Company Group property and all Company Group documents and materials belonging to the Company and stored in any fashion, including but not limited to those that
constitute or contain any Confidential Information or Work Product, that are in the possession or control of the Executive, whether they were provided to the Executive by the Company Group or any of its business associates or created by the
Executive in connection with his employment by the Company; and (ii) delete or destroy all copies of any such documents and materials not returned to the Company that remain in the Executive’s possession or control, including those stored on
any non-Company Group devices, networks, storage locations and media in the Executive’s possession or control. 

14.    Publicity. The Executive hereby irrevocably consents to any and all uses and displays, by the Company
Group and its agents, representatives and licensees, of the Executive’s name, voice, likeness, image, appearance and biographical information in, on or in connection with any pictures, photographs, audio and video recordings, digital images,
websites, television programs and advertising, other advertising and publicity, sales and marketing brochures, books, magazines, other publications, CDs, DVDs, tapes and all other printed and electronic forms and media throughout the world, at any
time during or after the period of his employment by the Company, for all legitimate commercial and business purposes of the Company Group (“Permitted Uses”) without further consent from or royalty, payment or other compensation to
the Executive. The Executive hereby forever waives and releases the Company 

  
 15 

 
Group and its directors, officers, employees and agents from any and all claims, actions, damages, losses, costs, expenses and liability of any kind, arising under any legal or equitable theory
whatsoever at any time during or after the period of his employment by the Company, arising directly or indirectly from the Company Group’s and its agents’, representatives’ and licensees’ exercise of their rights in connection
with any Permitted Uses. 
 15.    Governing Law. This Agreement, for all purposes, shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of law principles; provided, however, that any provisions relating to equity compensation shall also be subject to any federal or state securities laws that may be
applicable and the rules of any stock exchange on which the relevant equity is listed for trading.
 16.    Entire
Agreement. Unless specifically provided or stated herein, this Agreement contains all of the understandings and representations between the Executive and the Company pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not effect the terms and conditions of the cash awards
granted pursuant the PICP. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties specifically acknowledge that this Agreement supersedes any agreements the Executive had with the Company and any of its affiliates or predecessors
relating to the subject matter hereof (including, without limitation, the Employment Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2014, by and between the Company and the Executive). The parties mutually agree that the Agreement can be specifically
enforced in court and can be cited as evidence in legal proceedings alleging breach of the Agreement. 

17.    Modification and Waiver. Other than as set forth in Section 7.2 above with respect to Appendix A, no
provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified unless such amendment or modification is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and by an executive officer of the Company. No waiver by either of the parties of any breach by the
other party hereto of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by the other party hereto shall be deemed a waiver of any similar or dissimilar provision or condition at the same or any prior or subsequent time, nor shall the
failure of or delay by either of the parties in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder operate as a waiver thereof to preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege. 

18.    Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by a court or arbitrator of competent
jurisdiction to be enforceable only if modified, or if any portion of this Agreement shall be held as unenforceable and thus stricken, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement, the balance of which shall continue
to be binding upon the parties with any such modification to become a part hereof and treated as though originally set forth in this Agreement. The parties further agree that any such court or arbitrator is expressly authorized to modify any such
unenforceable provision of this Agreement in lieu of severing such unenforceable provision from this Agreement in its entirety, whether by rewriting the offending provision, deleting any or all of the offending provision, adding additional language
to this Agreement or by making such other modifications as it deems warranted to carry out the intent and agreement of the parties as embodied herein to the maximum extent permitted by law. The parties expressly agree that this Agreement as so
modified by the court or arbitrator shall be binding upon and enforceable against each of them. In any event, should one or more of the provisions of this Agreement be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and if such provision or provisions are not modified as provided above, this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions had not been set forth herein. 

  
 16 

 19.    Captions. Captions and headings of the sections and
paragraphs of this Agreement are intended solely for convenience and no provision of this Agreement is to be construed by reference to the caption or heading of any Section or paragraph. 

20.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

21.    Section 409A. 

21.1.    General Compliance. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A or an exemption thereunder
and shall be construed and administered in accordance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, payments provided under this Agreement may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with
Section 409A or an applicable exemption. Any payments under this Agreement that may be excluded from Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service or as a
short-term deferral shall be excluded from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible. For purposes of Section 409A, each installment payment provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a
separate payment. Any payments to be made under this Agreement upon a termination of employment shall only be made upon a “separation from service” under Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no
representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by
the Executive on account of non-compliance with Section 409A. 

21.2.    Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any payment or benefit
provided to the Executive in connection with his termination of employment is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and the Executive is determined to be a “specified
employee” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(b)(i), then such payment or benefit paid on account of a separation from service shall not be paid until the first payroll date to occur following the
six-month anniversary of the Termination Date (the “Specified Employee Payment Date”) or, if earlier, on the Executive’s death. The aggregate of any payments that would otherwise
have been paid before the Specified Employee Payment Date and interest on such amounts calculated based on the applicable federal rate published by the Internal Revenue Service for the month in which the Executive’s separation from service
occurs shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum on the Specified Employee Payment Date and thereafter, any remaining payments shall be paid without delay in accordance with their original schedule. 

21.3.    Reimbursements and In-Kind Benefits. To the extent required by Section 409A, each reimbursement
or in-kind benefit provided under this Agreement shall be provided in accordance with the following: 

(a)    the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits
provided, during each calendar year cannot affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year; 

(b)    any reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be paid to the Executive on or before the last day of the calendar
year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred; and 
 (c)    any right to reimbursements or in-kind benefits under this Agreement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 

  
 17 

 21.4.    Anti-Substitution. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit provided pursuant to the terms of this Agreement is a direct payment or a substitute or replacement for a right to payment that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation within the
meaning of Section 409A, including, to the extent applicable, amounts payable under another plan or agreement between the employee and the Company or any of its affiliates or predecessors (the “Protected Amount”) the then applicable
payment or benefit to be paid or provided under this Agreement shall be paid or provided at the same time and in the same form as the corresponding Protected Amount. 

22.    Notification to Subsequent Employer. When the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates,
the Executive agrees to notify any subsequent employer of the protective covenants sections contained in this Agreement. The Executive will also deliver a copy of such notice to the Company before the Executive commences employment with any
subsequent employer. In addition, the Executive authorizes the Company to provide a copy of the protective covenants sections of this Agreement to third parties, including but not limited to, the Executive’s subsequent, anticipated or
possible future employer. 
 23.    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and
shall not be assigned by the Executive. Any purported assignment by the Executive shall be null and void from the initial date of the purported assignment. The Company may assign this Agreement to any successor or assign (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company and permitted successors and assigns. 

24.    Notice. Notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by overnight carrier to the parties at the addresses set forth below (or such other addresses as specified by the parties by like notice):

Common Stock; (ii) Awards may be granted to individuals who are subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act only if the Committee is comprised solely of two or more “Non-Employee Directors” as defined in Securities and Exchange
Commission Rule 16b-3 (as amended from time to time, and any successor rule, regulation or statute fulfilling the same or similar function); and (iii) any Award granted to a Covered Employee that is intended to qualify for the
“performance-based compensation” exception under Code Section 162(m) shall be granted only if the Committee is comprised solely of two or more “outside directors” within the meaning of Code Section l62(m) and regulations
pursuant thereto. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Committee shall have full and exclusive power and authority to administer this Plan and to take all actions that are specifically contemplated hereby or are necessary or appropriate in
connection with the administration hereof. The Committee shall also have full and exclusive power to interpret this Plan and to adopt such rules, regulations and guidelines for carrying out this Plan as it may deem necessary or proper, all of which
powers shall be exercised in the best interests of the Company and in keeping with the 

  
 8 

 
objectives of this Plan. Subject to Paragraph 6(c) hereof, the Committee may, in its discretion, (x) provide for the extension of the exercisability of an Award, or (y) in the event of
death, Disability, retirement, termination of employment or service or Change in Control, accelerate the vesting or exercisability of an Award, eliminate or make less restrictive any restrictions contained in an Award, waive any restriction or other
provision of this Plan or an Award or otherwise amend or modify an Award in any manner that is, in either case, (1) not materially adverse to the Participant to whom such Award was granted, (2) consented to by such Participant or
(3) authorized by Paragraph 15(c) hereof; provided, however, that except as expressly provided in Paragraph 8(a) or 8(b) hereof, no such action shall permit the term of any Option or SAR to be greater than 10 years from its Grant
Date. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan or in any Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable to further this Plan’s purposes.
Any decision of the Committee in the interpretation and administration of this Plan shall lie within its sole and absolute discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned. 

(b) Indemnity. No member of the Board or the Committee or officer of the Company to whom the Committee has
delegated authority in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 7 of this Plan shall be liable for anything done or omitted to be done by him, by any member of the Board or the Committee or by any officer of the Company in connection with
the performance of any duties under this Plan, except for his own willful misconduct or as expressly provided by statute. 

(c) Prohibition on Repricing of Awards. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 15 hereof, the terms of outstanding
Award Agreements may not be amended without the approval of the Company’s stockholders so as to (i) reduce the Exercise Price of any outstanding Options or SARs. (ii) cancel any outstanding Options or SARs in exchange for cash or
other Awards when the Exercise Price of the original Options or SARs exceeds the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock, or (iii) take any other action with respect to an Option or SAR that would be treated as a repricing under the
rules and regulations of the principal national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed. 
 7. Delegation
of Authority. The Committee may delegate any of its authority to grant Awards to Employees who are not subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and Consultants, subject to Paragraph 6(a) above, to the Board, to any other committee
of the Board or a member of the Board or an executive officer of the Company, provided such delegation is made in writing and specifically sets forth such delegated authority. The Committee may also delegate to an Authorized Officer authority to
execute on behalf of the Company any Award Agreement. The Committee and the Board, as applicable, may engage or authorize the engagement of a third party administrator to carry out administrative functions under this Plan. Any such delegation
hereunder shall only be made to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 8. Employee Awards. The Committee shall determine the type or types of Employee
Awards to be made under this Plan and shall designate from time to time the Employees who are to be the recipients of such Awards. Each Award shall be embodied in an Award Agreement, which shall contain such terms, conditions and limitations as
shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and, if required by the Committee, shall be signed by the Participant to whom the Award is granted and by an Authorized Officer for and on behalf of the Company. Awards may consist of
those listed in this Paragraph 8 hereof and may be granted singly, in combination or in tandem. Awards may also be made in combination or in tandem with, in replacement of, or as alternatives to, grants or rights under this Plan or any other
plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including the plan of any acquired entity; provided, however, that, except as contemplated in Paragraph 15 hereof, no Option or SAR may be issued in exchange for the cancellation of an Option or
SAR with a higher Exercise Price nor may the Exercise Price of any Option or SAR be reduced. All or part of an Award may be subject to conditions established by the Committee. Upon the termination of employment by a Participant who is an Employee,
any unexercised, unvested or unpaid Awards shall be treated as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement or in any other written agreement the Company has entered into with the Participant. 

(a) Options. An Employee Award may be in the form of an Option. An Option awarded pursuant to this Plan may consist of
either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option. The price at which shares of Common Stock may be purchased upon the exercise of an Option shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date, subject to
adjustment as provided in Paragraph 15 hereof. The term of an Option shall not exceed 10 years from the Grant Date; provided, however, if the term of a Nonqualified Option (but not an Incentive Option) expires at a time when the Company has
imposed a prohibition on trading of the Company’s securities in order to avoid violations of applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law, then such term may be extended by the Committee or pursuant to procedures of the Committee and shall
expire on the 30th day after the expiration of such prohibition on trading. Subject to the foregoing provisions, the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to any Option, including, but not limited to, the term of any Option and the date or
dates upon which the Option becomes vested and exercisable, shall be determined by the Committee. 
 (b) Stock
Appreciation Rights. An Employee Award may be in the form of an SAR. The Exercise Price for an SAR shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date, subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 15 hereof. The
holder of a tandem SAR may elect to exercise either the Option or the SAR, but not both. The exercise period for an SAR shall extend no more than 10 years after the Grant Date; provided, however, if the term of an SAR expires at a time when
the Company has imposed a prohibition on trading of the Company’s securities in order to avoid violations of applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law, then such term may be extended by the Committee or pursuant to procedures of the
Committee and shall expire on the 30th day after the expiration of such prohibition on trading. Subject to the foregoing provisions, the terms, conditions, and limitations applicable to any SAR, including, but not limited to, the term of any SAR and
the date or dates upon which the SAR becomes vested and exercisable, shall be determined by the Committee. 

  
 10

requirements described in this Paragraph 8 hereof. 
 (d) Restricted Stock Unit Awards. An Employee Award may be in
the form of a Restricted Stock Unit Award. The terms, conditions and limitations applicable to a Restricted Stock Unit Award, including, but not limited to, the Restriction Period, shall be determined by the Committee. Subject to the terms of this
Plan, the Committee shall specify in the applicable Award Agreement whether the Restricted Stock Unit shall be settled in the form of cash or in shares of Common Stock (or in a combination thereof) equal to the value of the vested Restricted Stock
Units. 
 (e) Performance Unit Awards. An Employee Award may be in the form of a Performance Unit Award. Each
Performance Unit shall have an initial value that is established by the Committee on the Grant Date. Subject to the terms of this Plan, after the applicable performance period has ended, the Participant shall be entitled to receive settlement of the
value and number of Performance Units earned by the Participant over the performance period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance goals have been achieved. Settlement of earned Performance Units shall
be as determined by the Committee and specified in an Award Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Committee shall specify in the applicable Award Agreement whether the Performance Units shall be settled in the form of cash or in shares
of Common Stock (or in a combination thereof) equal to the value of the earned Performance Units. 
 (f) Cash Awards.
An Employee Award may be in the form of a Cash Award. The terms, conditions and limitations applicable to a Cash Award, including, but not limited to, vesting or other restrictions, shall be determined by the Committee. 

(g) Performance Awards. Without limiting the type or number of Awards that may be made under the other provisions of
this Plan, an Employee Award may be in the form of a Performance Award. The terms, conditions and limitations applicable to an Award that is a Performance Award shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee shall set Performance Goals in its
discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the value and/or amount of Performance Awards that will be paid out to the Participant and/or the portion of an Award that may be exercised. 

(i) Nonqualified Performance Awards. Performance Awards granted to Employees that are not intended to qualify as
qualified performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m) shall be based on achievement of such Performance Goals and be subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Committee or its delegate shall determine. 

  
 11 

 (ii) Qualified Performance Awards. Performance Awards granted to Employees
under this Plan that are intended to qualify as qualified performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m) shall be paid, vested or otherwise deliverable solely on account of the attainment of one or more pre-established, objective
Performance Goals established by the Committee prior to the earlier to occur of (1) 90 days after the commencement of the performance period to which the Performance Goal relates and (2) the lapse of 25% of the performance period to which
the Performance Goal relates, and in any event while the outcome of the Performance Goal is substantially uncertain. A Performance Goal is objective if a third party having knowledge of the relevant facts could determine whether and the extent to
which the goal is met. One or more of such goals may apply to the Employee, one or more business units, divisions or sectors of the Company, or the Company as a whole, and if so desired by the Committee, by comparison with a peer group of companies.
Performance goals may be measured in aggregate or with reference to specific objective measurement units, such as geographic regions, employees or assets. To the extent necessary to qualify as qualified performance-based compensation under Code
Section 162(m), a Performance Goal shall include one or more of the following: aggregate earnings, earnings per share, share price, net income, operating income, gross revenue, cash flows, progress toward debt reduction goals, credit rating
upgrades, meeting geographic expansion goals, objectively identified project milestones, market share, expense levels, operating costs, overhead or other costs, development or use of new technology, acquisitions and divestitures, risk management
activities, asset monetization strategies, environmental compliance and safety and accident rates, return on equity, total or comparative stockholder return, changes in capital structure, work output, cycle time and any of the above goals determined
on an absolute or relative basis or as compared to the performance of a published or special index deemed applicable by the Committee including, but not limited to, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index or a group of comparable
companies. 
 Unless otherwise stated, such a Performance Goal need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a particular
business criterion and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to specific business criteria). In interpreting Plan provisions applicable to Qualified Performance
Awards, it is the intent of this Plan to conform with the standards of Code Section 162(m) and Treasury Regulation § 1.162-27(e)(2)(i), as to grants to Covered Employees and the Committee in establishing such goals and interpreting this
Plan shall be guided by such provisions. Prior to the payment of any compensation based on the achievement of Performance Goals applicable to Qualified Performance Awards, the Committee must certify in writing that applicable Performance Goals and
any of the material terms thereof were, in fact, satisfied. For this purpose, approved minutes of the Committee meeting in which the certification is made shall be treated as such written certification. Subject to the foregoing provisions, the
terms, conditions and limitations applicable to any Qualified Performance Awards made 

  
 12 

 
pursuant to this Plan shall be determined by the Committee. At the time it establishes the Performance Goals, the Committee may provide in any such Performance Award that any evaluation of
performance may include or exclude any of the following events that occurs during a performance period: (a) asset write-downs, (b) litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (c) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting
principles, or other laws or provisions affecting reported results, (d) any reorganization and restructuring programs, (e) unusual, infrequently occurring, nonrecurring or one-time events affecting the Company or its financial statements,
as determined by the Company’s auditors in accordance with applicable accounting standards, (f) acquisitions or divestitures, (g) foreign exchange gains and losses and (h) settlement of hedging activities. 

(iii) Adjustment of Performance Awards. Awards that are intended to be Qualified Performance Awards may not be adjusted
upward. The Committee may retain the discretion to adjust such Performance Awards downward, either on a formula or discretionary basis or any combination, as the Committee determines. 

9. Consultant and Director Awards. The Committee has the sole authority to grant Consultant Awards and Director Awards from time
to time in accordance with this Paragraph 9. Consultant Awards and Director Awards may consist of the forms of Award described in Paragraph 8, with the exception of Incentive Stock Options, may be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem and
shall be granted subject to such terms and conditions as specified in Paragraph 8. Each Consultant Award and Director Award shall be embodied in an Award Agreement, which shall contain such terms, conditions, and limitations as shall be determined
by the Committee, in its sole discretion. 
 10. Award Payment; Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. 

(a) General. The form of the payment of Awards shall be specified in the Award Agreement and may be made in the form of
cash or Common Stock, or a combination thereof, and may include such restrictions as the Committee shall determine, including, but not limited to, in the case of Common Stock, restrictions on transfer and forfeiture provisions. For a Restricted
Stock Award, the certificates evidencing the shares of such Restricted Stock (to the extent that such shares are so evidenced) shall contain appropriate legends and restrictions that describe the terms and conditions of the restrictions applicable
thereto. For a Restricted Stock Unit Award that may be settled in shares of Common Stock, the shares of Common Stock that may be issued at the end of the Restriction Period shall be evidenced by book entry registration or in such other manner as the
Committee may determine. 
 (b) Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. Rights to (1) dividends will be extended to
and made part of any Restricted Stock Award and (2) Dividend Equivalents 

  
 13 

 
may be extended to and made part of any Restricted Stock Unit Award and Performance Unit Award, subject in each case to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Committee may establish;
provided, however, that no such dividends or Dividend Equivalents shall be paid with respect to unvested Stock Awards, including Stock Awards subject to Performance Goals. Dividends or Dividend Equivalents paid with respect to unvested Stock
Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be accumulated and paid to the Participant at the time that such Stock Award vests. Dividends and/or Dividend Equivalents shall not be made part of any Options or SARs. 

11. Option Exercise. The Exercise Price shall be paid in full at the time of exercise in cash or, if set forth in the Award
Agreement and elected by the Participant, the Participant may purchase such shares by means of the Company withholding shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable on exercise of the Award or tendering Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the
date of exercise, or any combination thereof. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine acceptable methods for Participants to tender Common Stock or other Awards. The Committee may provide for procedures to permit the exercise or
purchase of such Awards by use of the proceeds to be received from the sale of Common Stock issuable pursuant to an Award (including cashless exercise and net exercise procedures approved by the Committee involving a broker or dealer approved by the
Committee). The Committee may adopt additional rules and procedures regarding the exercise of Options from time to time, provided that such rules and procedures are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Paragraph 11. 

12. Taxes. The Company shall have the right to deduct applicable taxes from any Award payment and withhold, at the time of
delivery or vesting of cash or shares of Common Stock under this Plan, an appropriate amount of cash or number of shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof for payment of required withholding taxes or to take such other action as may be
necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for withholding of such taxes. The Committee may also permit withholding to be satisfied by the transfer to the Company of shares of Common Stock theretofore owned by the holder of
the Award with respect to which withholding is required. If shares of Common Stock are used to satisfy tax withholding, such shares shall be valued based on the Fair Market Value when the tax withholding is required to be made. 

13. Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination. The Board may amend, modify, suspend or terminate this Plan (and the
Committee may amend an Award Agreement) for the purpose of meeting or addressing any changes in legal requirements or for any other purpose permitted by law, except that (1) no amendment or alteration that would materially adversely affect the
rights of any Participant under any Award previously granted to such Participant shall be made without the consent of such Participant and (2) no amendment or alteration shall be effective prior to its approval by the stockholders of the
Company to the extent stockholders’ approval is otherwise required by applicable legal requirements or the requirements of the securities exchange on which the Company’s stock is listed, including any amendment that expands the types of
Awards available under this Plan, 

  
 14 

 
materially increases the number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards under this Plan, materially expands the classes of persons eligible for Awards under this Plan, materially extends
the term of this Plan, materially changes the method of determining the Exercise Price of Options, deletes or limits any provisions of this Plan that prohibit the repricing of Options or SARs. 

14. Assignability. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or expressly provided for in an Award Agreement, no Award or any
other benefit under this Plan shall be assignable or otherwise transferable except (1) by will or the laws of descent and distribution or (2) pursuant to a domestic relations order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction that is not
contrary to the terms and conditions of this Plan or applicable Award and in a form acceptable to the Committee. The Committee may prescribe and include in applicable Award Agreements other restrictions on transfer. Any attempted assignment of an
Award or any other benefit under this Plan in violation of this Paragraph 14 shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Award may be transferred for value or consideration. 

15. Adjustments. 

(a) The existence of outstanding Awards shall not affect in any manner the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to
make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the capital stock of the Company or its business or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior
preference stock (whether or not such issue is prior to, on a parity with or junior to the Common Stock) or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate
act or proceeding of any kind, whether or not of a character similar to that of the acts or proceedings enumerated above. 

(b) In the event of any subdivision or consolidation of outstanding shares of Common Stock, declaration of a dividend payable
in shares of Common Stock or other stock split, then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock reserved under this Plan, (2) the number of shares of Common Stock covered by outstanding Awards in the form of Common Stock or units denominated
in Common Stock, (3) the Exercise Price or other price in respect of such Awards, (4) the Stock-Based Award Limitations, and (5) the appropriate Fair Market Value and other price determinations for such Awards shall each be
proportionately adjusted by the Committee as appropriate to reflect such transaction. In the event of any other recapitalization or capital reorganization of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation or entity,
the adoption by the Company of any plan of exchange affecting the Common Stock or any distribution to holders of Common Stock of securities or property (other than normal cash dividends or dividends payable in Common Stock), the Committee shall make
appropriate adjustments to (i) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock covered by Awards in the form of Common Stock or units denominated in Common Stock, (ii) the Exercise 

  
 15 

 
Price or other price in respect of such Awards, (iii) the appropriate Fair Market Value and other price determinations for such Awards, and (iv) the Stock-Based Award Limitations to
reflect such transaction; provided that such adjustments shall only be such as are necessary to maintain the proportionate interest of the holders of the Awards and preserve, without increasing, the value of such Awards. 

(c) In the event of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or
liquidation, the Committee may make such adjustments to Awards or other provisions for the disposition of Awards as it deems equitable, and shall be authorized, in its discretion, (1) to provide for the substitution of a new Award or other
arrangement (which, if applicable, may be exercisable for such property or stock as the Committee determines) for an Award or the assumption of the Award, regardless of whether in a transaction to which Code Section 424(a) applies, (2) to
provide, prior to the transaction, for the acceleration of the vesting and exercisability of, or lapse of restrictions with respect to, the Award and, if the transaction is a cash merger, provide for the termination of any portion of the Award that
remains unexercised at the time of such transaction, or (3) to cancel any such Awards and to deliver to the Participants cash in an amount that the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion is equal to the Fair Market Value of such
Awards on the date of such event, which in the case of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall be the excess (if any) of the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on such date over the Exercise Price of such Award. 

(d) No adjustment or substitution pursuant to this Paragraph 15 shall be made in a manner that results in noncompliance with
the requirements of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable. 
 16. Restrictions. No Common Stock or other form of
payment shall be issued with respect to any Award unless the Company shall be satisfied based on the advice of its counsel that such issuance will be in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Certificates evidencing shares of
Common Stock delivered under this Plan (to the extent that such shares are so evidenced) may be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, any securities exchange or transaction reporting system upon which the Common Stock is then listed or to which it is admitted for quotation and any applicable federal or state securities law. The Committee may
cause a legend or legends to be placed upon such certificates (if any) to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 
 17.
Unfunded Plan. This Plan is unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Participants who are entitled to cash, Common Stock or rights thereto under this Plan, any such accounts shall be used merely as a
bookkeeping convenience. The Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by cash, Common Stock or rights thereto, nor shall this Plan be construed as providing for such segregation, nor shall the

  
 16 

 
Company, the Board or the Committee be deemed to be a trustee of any cash, Common Stock or rights thereto to be granted under this Plan. Any liability or obligation of the Company to any
Participant with respect to an Award of cash, Common Stock or rights thereto under this Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created by this Plan and any Award Agreement, and no such liability or obligation of the
Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of the Company. None of the Company, the Board or the Committee shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any obligation that may be
created by this Plan. With respect to this Plan and any Awards granted hereunder, Participants are general and unsecured creditors of the Company and have no rights or claims except as otherwise provided in this Plan or any applicable Award
Agreement. 
 18. Code Section 409A. 

(a) Awards made under this Plan are intended to comply with or be exempt from Code Section 409A, and ambiguous provisions
hereof, if any, shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent. No payment, benefit or consideration shall be substituted for an Award if such action would result in the imposition of taxes under Code Section 409A.
Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if any Plan provision or Award under this Plan would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Code Section 409A, that Plan provision or Award shall be reformed, to the extent
permissible under Code Section 409A, to avoid imposition of the additional tax, and no such action shall be deemed to adversely affect the Participant’s rights to an Award. 

(b) Unless the Committee provides otherwise in an Award Agreement, each Restricted Stock Unit Award, Performance Unit Award or
Cash Award (or portion thereof if the Award is subject to a vesting schedule) shall be settled no later than the 15th day of the third month after the end of the first calendar year in which the Award (or such portion thereof) is no longer subject
to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning of Code Section 409A. If the Committee determines that a Restricted Stock Unit Award, Performance Unit Award or Cash Award is intended to be subject to Code Section 409A,
the applicable Award Agreement shall include terms that are designed to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A. 

(c) If the Participant is identified by the Company as a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) on the date on which the Participant has a “separation from service” (other than due to death) within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h), any Award payable or settled on account of a
separation from service that is deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A shall be paid or settled on the earliest of (1) the first business day following the expiration of six months from the Participant’s separation from
service, (2) the date of the Participant’s death, or (3) such earlier date as complies with the requirements of Code Section 409A. 

  
 17 

 19. Awards to Foreign Nationals and Employees Outside the United States. The
Committee may, without amending this Plan, (1) establish special rules applicable to Awards granted to Participants who are foreign nationals, are employed or otherwise providing services outside the United States, or both, including rules that
differ from those set forth in this Plan, and (2) grant Awards to such Participants in accordance with those rules. 
 20.
Governing Law. This Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by mandatory provisions of the Code or the securities laws of the United States, shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. 
 21. No Right to Continued Participation, Service or
Employment. Unless otherwise set forth in an employment agreement, no person shall have any right to participate in this Plan. Nothing in this Plan or an Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries to terminate any Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the capacity in which he is employed or
otherwise serves the Company or its Subsidiaries. 
 22. Clawback Right. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan,
any Award shall be subject to recovery or clawback by the Company under any clawback policy adopted by the Company. 
 23.
Usage. Words used in this Plan in the singular shall include the plural and in the plural the singular, and the gender of words used shall be construed to include whichever may be appropriate under any particular circumstances of the
masculine, feminine or neuter genders. 
 24. Headings. The headings in this Plan are inserted for convenience of reference
only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Plan. 
 25. Effectiveness. This Plan shall be effective as of
the Effective Date and shall continue in effect for a term of 10 years commencing from the Effective Date, unless earlier terminated by action of the Board.
