RECITALS

          WHEREAS, Employee and the Company are parties to that certain Employment Agreement made and

sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

	1.	 	Term.

          The term of Employee’s employment under this Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date
and shall expire on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Term of
Employment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing definition of Term of Employment, Employee’s
employment may be sooner terminated as hereinafter provided, and if so terminated, the Term of

	(a)	 	Employee agrees to serve Employer as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of
Employer and in such other executive capacities commensurate with the position of Chief
Financial Officer as may be requested from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer of
Employer (the “CEO”). The CEO may not delegate his or her authority under this clause
(a) to other individuals employed by or working with Employer.
	 
	(b)	 	Employee shall have all of the powers, authority, duties and responsibilities usually
incident to the position and role of Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and
shall perform such other reasonable duties, consistent with such position. Employee shall
report to, and receive and implement all legal and ethical directions and guidelines from the
CEO.
	 
	(c)	 	During the Term of Employment, Employee shall devote himself to work on behalf of Employer

all times while Employee is employed by Employer, Employee shall abide by all legal written
Employer policies.

Confidential Information and Covenant Not to Compete.

-1-

 

	3.1	 	Confidential Information.

	 	(i)	 	In consideration of the benefits received by Employee under this Agreement
which he otherwise would not have had but for his entry into this Agreement, Employee
hereby agrees that at all times while Employee is employed by Employer, whether during
the Term of Employment or thereafter if Employee becomes an employee at will, and
thereafter, he will not, without the written consent of the CEO, disclose to any
person, enterprise, entity or association or otherwise use or exploit for himself or
others any “Confidential Information”.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	The term “Confidential Information” shall mean all proprietary or confidential
information or knowledge of or regarding Employer, whether of a technical,
operational, economic, or other nature, and including any trade secrets (including
customer lists, identities, contacts and pricing information, know-how, formulas,
patterns, inventions, engineering records or data, interpretive or analytical
information or data, drilling logs, operating agreements and related records, records
of research, proposals, manuals, compilations, programs, devices, methods, processes,
techniques, processes, budgets or other financial information, and any other records or
information that derive independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being
generally known to and not being readily ascertained by proper means by persons other
than the holders, licensees, or other authorized holders thereof who can obtain
economic value from its disclosure or use).
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee may utilize Confidential Information
to the extent required by his performance of assigned duties for Employer or which:

	 	(a)	 	was known to Employee or the public prior to disclosure to
Employee in the course of his employment by Employer;
	 
	 	(b)	 	becomes generally known to the public through no fault of
Employee;
	 
	 	(c)	 	is lawfully obtained by Employee from another source not under
obligation to Employer regarding disclosure of such information; or
	 
	 	(d)	 	is developed after the termination of his employment and
independently by Employee or others without access to or reliance on any
Confidential Information.

	3.2	 	Return of Confidential Information.
	 
	 	 	Upon termination of employment with Employer, whether during the Term
of Employment or thereafter if Employee becomes an employee at will,
Employee will deliver to Employer all tangible displays and
repositories of Confidential Information including without limitation
trade secrets and other materials or records or writings of any other
type (including any copies thereof) made, used or obtained by Employee
in connection with his employment by Employer or its predecessor in
interest prior to or subsequent to the execution of this Agreement.
Employer
agrees to provide Employee with reasonable assistance from Employer’s IT personnel in order
to facilitate return of information residing on Employee’s personal computer, PDA or other
device. Employee agrees that all inventions, improvements in any of
the Employer’s methods of

-2-

 

	 	 	conducting its businesses or innovations (in each case, including, by way of expansion
and not limitation, policies, procedures, products, improvements, software, ideas and
discoveries, whether or not patentable or copyrightable) conceived or made by him during any
time of his employment by Employer prior to or subsequent to the execution of this Agreement
belong to the Employer and to the extent Employee participated in the creation of any of the
foregoing he did so on a work for hire basis. Upon termination of his Employment with
Employer, Employee shall promptly disclose such inventions, improvements or innovations to
the CEO or his/her designee and perform all actions reasonably requested by the CEO or
his/her designee to establish and confirm such ownership by Employer and to protect the
intellectual property of Employer contained therein or represented thereby.

	3.3	 	Covenant Not to Compete.
	 
	 	 	Employee hereby agrees that:

	 	(i)	 	Employer agrees to furnish and Employee acknowledges that in his capacity as an
Employee, he will receive and/or have access to valuable and confidential information
as defined in Section 3.1 (ii) as required to perform his duties for Employer. In
consideration for the valuable and confidential information, during the Term of
Employment and until the later of (a) the first (1st) anniversary of the
date of termination of Employee’s employment whether by Employee’s resignation or by
Employer’s termination of the relationship, and (b) such time as Employee is no longer
receiving any payments from Employer pursuant to this Agreement (and as a condition to
Employee receiving any such payments) (collectively, the “Non-Compete Period”),
Employee shall not within Texas, Wyoming, Canada, Mexico or the Parishes of Louisiana
listed in the attached Schedule, (i) perform any duties similar in nature to the duties
performed by Employee for the Employer for any competitor of the Business, as defined
below, of Employer, whether as an employee, officer, principal, member, advisor, agent,
partner, director, owner, or consultant of such competitor. For purposes of this
Agreement, “competitor” is defined as a company where more than twenty-five percent
(25%) of the company’s revenues are derived from a business line that directly competes
with a business line of the Company, and the Company’s business line generates more
than fifteen percent (15%) of annual revenues. It is the intention of Employer and
Employee that insofar as the Agreement affects the Parishes of Louisiana listed in the
attached Schedule, that it be enforceable under La R.S. 23:921; and the parties agree
that within the Parishes listed on the attached Schedule, the Agreement should be
interpreted to fully comply with La. R.S. 23:921.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	With respect to the preceding paragraph, Employee shall not be deemed to be an
owner of a competitor of the Business of Employer where Employee’s ownership interest
is less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding stock or membership units.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	During the Term of Employment and during the Non-Compete Period, and as a
condition to Employee receiving any payments from Employer pursuant to this Agreement
to
which Employee otherwise would not have been entitled after Employee is no longer
employed by Employer, Employee shall not:

	 	(a)	 	solicit or employ any person for employment by Employee or
Employee’s employer if such person is (i) employed by Employer at that time, or
(ii) who has

-3-

 

	 	 	 	left the employment, other than through termination, of Employer
for sixty (60) days or less, for any employment position or investment
opportunity where such position or opportunity would either interfere with or
compete against the Business;
	 
	 	(b)	 	otherwise induce any person to discontinue his or her
employment with Employer;
	 
	 	(c)	 	request any present or future customer or supplier of Employer
to curtail or cancel its business with Employer; or
	 
	 	(d)	 	unless otherwise required by law, disclose to any person, firm
or corporation any details of organization or business affairs of Employer, any
names of past or present customers of Employer or any other non-public
information concerning Employer.

	 	(iv)	 	Employee understands that the provisions of Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 may limit
his ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the business of Employer, but
as an executive officer of Employer, he nevertheless agrees and hereby acknowledges
that:

	 	(a)	 	such provisions do not impose a greater restraint than is
necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of Employer;
	 
	 	(b)	 	such provisions contain reasonable limitations as to time and
scope of activity to be restrained; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	the consideration provided hereunder, including without
limitation of any amounts or benefits contemplated to be provided to Employee
hereunder following Employee’s termination of employment other than for Cause
or by Employee’s resignation, is sufficient to compensate Employee for the
restrictions contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2, or 3.3 hereof.

	 	(v)	 	In consideration of the foregoing, and in light of Employee’s education,
skills, and abilities, Employee agrees that he will not assert that, and it should not
be considered that, any provisions of Sections 3.1, 3.2, or 3.3 hereof are otherwise
void, voidable, or unenforceable or should be voided or held unenforceable.
	 
	 	(vi)	 	The unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect the provisions
of any other covenant. If it is judicially determined that any provision of this
Section 3.3 or any part thereof is unenforceable under applicable law(s) (statute,
common law, or otherwise), then the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be
modified to the extent necessary to render it enforceable, while leaving the remaining
portions intact. Employee and Employer further agree that in the event the said
non-competition covenant should be
held by any court or other constituted legal authority to be effective in any
particular area or jurisdiction only if said covenant is modified to limit its
duration or scope, then the parties shall thereupon consider such non-competition
covenant to be amended and modified with respect to that particular area or
jurisdiction so as to comply with the order of any such court or other constituted
legal authority, and, as to all other jurisdictions or

-4-

 

	 	 	 	political subdivisions
thereof, the said non-competition covenant shall remain in full force and effect as
originally written.
	 
	 	 	 	By agreeing to this contractual modification prospectively at this time, the parties
intend to make Section 3.3 enforceable under the law(s) of all applicable states so
that the entire agreement not to compete or to solicit and any other provisions of
this Agreement as prospectively modified shall remain in full force and effect and
shall not be rendered void or illegal. Thus, if for any reason, the Agreement should
be found to be unenforceable in one jurisdiction, the separate and severable
covenants of Section 3.3 covering the other jurisdictions will remain in full force
and effect.
	 
	 	(vii)	 	For the purposes of this Section 3, the business of Employer is described as
follows: Employer engages in the design, manufacture, remanufacture, sale and
distribution of oilfield products and services to customers in the business of drilling
and completion of new oil and gas wells and the work-over of existing wells through
strategically located facilities in North America and world-wide (the
“Business”).

	3.4	 	Executive Nature of Employment.
	 
	 	 	Employee acknowledges and agrees that his duties with Employer are of
an executive nature and that he is a member of Employer’s management
group. Employee agrees that the remedy at law for any breach by him of
any of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 3 will
be inadequate and that in the event of any such breach, Employer may,
in addition to the other remedies which may be available to it at law,
obtain injunctive relief prohibiting Employee (together with all those
persons associated with him) from the breach of such covenants and
agreements.
	 
	3.5	 	Consideration.
	 
	 	 	Each of the covenants of this Section 3 are given by Employee as part
of the consideration for this Agreement and as an inducement to
Employer to enter into this Agreement and accept the obligations
hereunder.
	 
	3.6	 	Application to Subsidiaries
	 
	 	 	For purposes of this Section 3 and of Section 2 hereof, the term
“Employer” shall include Employer and any and all of Employer’s
subsidiaries or ventures, or any affiliates’ of Employer (as such term
is defined under the Securities Act of 1933), whether currently
existing or hereafter formed; provided, however, that in no event will
this Section 3.6 permit re-assignment of Employee to a similar
position at Employer’s subsidiaries or ventures or affiliates in
replacement of Employee’s position at Employer.
	 
	3.7	 	Assignment of Intellectual Property Rights.
	 
	 	 	Employee agrees that all ideas, concepts, processes, discoveries,
devices, machines, tools, materials, designs, improvements,
inventions, computer software and other things of value

-5-

 

	 	 	(hereinafter
collectively referred to as “intangible rights”), whether patentable
or not, which are conceived, made, invented or suggested either by him
alone or in collaboration with others while employed by Employer
(whether prior to the entry into this Agreement or otherwise) and
relating to the Business and whether or not during regular working
hours, shall be promptly disclosed in writing to Employer and shall be
the sole and exclusive property of Employer. Employee hereby assigns
all of his right, title and interest in and to all such intangible
rights and to any trade secrets developed by Employee from and after
the original hire date to Employer and its successors or assigns.
Employee further agrees to execute, from time to time upon the request
of Employer, such documentation as may be required by Employer to
confirm Employee’s intent to so assign and transfer such rights and
property, including such rights and property which may not presently
exist but which may exist at a later date.
	 
	 	 	In the event that any of said intangible rights shall be deemed by
Employer to be patentable or otherwise registerable under any Federal,
state or foreign law, Employee further agrees that at the expense of
Employer, he will execute all documents and do all things necessary,
advisable or proper to obtain patents therefor or registration
thereof, and to vest in Employer full title thereto.
	 
	4.	 	Base Salary and Benefits.

	 	4.1.	 	Base Salary.
	 
	 	 	 	During the Term of Employment, Employer
shall pay Employee a base salary at the
rate of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars
($300,000) per annum payable in equal
installments at least as frequently as
semi-monthly and subject to payroll
deductions as may be necessary or
customary in respect of Employer’s
salaried employees in general. Such salary
shall be subject to adjustment under the
Employer’s periodic compensation review
procedure which shall take into account
such factors as job responsibilities,
performance and cost of living
considerations. In no event shall such
salary be adjusted to less than initial
amount set forth above.
	 
	 	4.2.	 	Vacations.
	 
	 	 	 	During the Term of Employment, Employee
shall be entitled to vacation of the
greater of four (4) weeks per year or the
amount of time provided under the vacation
policy applicable to employees of Employer
generally, as amended from time to time.
	 
	 	4.3	 	Annual Bonus.
	 
	 	 	 	For each fiscal year of the Employer
during the Term of Employment, Employee
will be eligible for an annual bonus to be
awarded, if at all, based on the
achievement of annual incentive
performance targets established annually
by the Board or a committee thereof within
ninety (90) days of the beginning of each
fiscal year, unless the Compensation
Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) has determined that a
delay in payment of bonuses generally is appropriate and reasonable. To be entitled
to receive a bonus, the Employee must be employed by the Company at the time the
annual bonus is paid. The annual bonus payable to Employee for each fiscal year
during the Term of Employment shall be determined by the Compensation Committee and
shall be consistent with the general terms established for other executive officers
of the Company reflecting appropriate threshold, target and maximum payouts as
determined by the Compensation

-6-

 

	 	 	 	Committee. The Compensation Committee will determine
whether the performance goals have been met for a fiscal year and the amount of any
annual bonus for such fiscal year.

	 	4.4	 	Long Term Incentive Awards.
	 
	 	 	 	Employee shall be eligible for a long-term incentive award in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the Employer’s 2002 Stock Incentive Plan. Employee’s
long-term incentive award shall be based on such incentive performance target(s) as
may be established from time to time by the Board or a committee thereof, in its
sole discretion. The maximum long-term incentive award payable, if any, to Employee
during the Term of Employment shall be (100%), of his target award, if the
performance goals for such award are met in full or exceeded. The long term
incentive award payable, if any, to Employee, shall be paid in any combination of
stock options, restricted stock or other equity-based awards as the Compensation
Committee may determine. The value of stock options, restricted stock or other
equity-based awards shall be determined by the Board or a committee thereof.
	 
	 	4.5	 	Medical Insurance and Other Benefits 
	 
	 	 	 	During the Term of Employment, Employer shall provide Employee with such eligibility
to participate in benefit programs, including medical, hospital, and life insurance,
as is provided, and at the same cost as generally provided to other employees of
Employer. Employee also shall be entitled to participate in all other benefit
programs which are maintained by Employer and available to its executive officers
generally and under the same terms as available to Employer’s executive officers
generally. Employee acknowledges that he shall have no vested rights under or in
respect of his participation in any such program except as expressly provided under
the terms thereof. Employee will be entitled to participate in Employer’s 401(k)
Savings and Retirement Plan, applicable to employees or executives of Employer
generally.

	5.	 	Expenses.
	 
	 	 	In accordance with its policy, as in effect from time to time,
Employer will pay or reimburse Employee for such reasonable travel,
entertainment, use of a cellular phone, or other expenses as he may
reasonably incur during the Term of Employment in the performance of
his duties hereunder, but only to the extent that Employee shall
furnish Employer with such evidence that such expenses were incurred
as Employer may from time to time reasonably require or request in
accordance with its policies.
	 
	6.	 	Death or Total Disability of Employee.
	 
	 	 	If Employee dies or becomes totally disabled during the Term of
Employment, the Term of Employment shall automatically terminate and
Employer’s obligation to compensate Employee under this Agreement
shall in all respects cease, except that Employer shall pay Employee,
within thirty (30) days of such death or termination of employment due
to disability (or sooner if required by law), an amount equal to any
Base Salary earned but unpaid (“Accrued

-7-

 

	 	 	Compensation”) as of the time
of such death or disability and Employee shall be entitled to such
other benefits provided for under Section 4 subject to the terms of
such Employer plans or programs (“Accrued Benefits”).
	 
	 	 	For purposes of this Section, Employee shall reasonably be deemed
“totally disabled” as of the time the CEO or his/her designee shall
find, on the basis of medical evidence satisfactory to the CEO or
his/her designee, that, as a result of a mental or physical condition,
Employee is unable to perform his normal duties of employment
hereunder or is prevented from engaging in the same level of
performance as he engaged in prior to the onset of such condition,
giving effect to any reasonable accommodations which can be made by
Employer, and that such disability is likely to continue for a
substantial period of time.
	 
	7.	 	Termination for Cause.
	 
	 	 	Employee’s employment may be terminated by Employer for “Cause”, as
described below. Upon such termination, Employer’s obligation to
compensate Employee shall in all respects cease, except that Employer
shall pay Employee, within thirty (30) days of such termination (or
sooner if required by law), any Accrued Compensation as of the time of
such termination and Employee shall be entitled to any Accrued
Benefits as of the time of such termination when and if provided to be
paid by the applicable program or plan. The term “Cause” includes, but
is not limited to, any one or more of the following occurrences:

	 	(a)	 	Employee’s material breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 3.1 and
3.2 of this Agreement;
	 
	 	(b)	 	Employee’s conviction of, or any plea of nolo contendere to, a felony
punishable by imprisonment;
	 
	 	(c)	 	Employee’s commission of an act of fraud with respect to the business and
affairs of Employer, its subsidiaries or affiliates, or their customers, whether prior
or subsequent to the date hereof upon Employer or any of its subsidiaries, ventures or
affiliates;
	 
	 	(d)	 	Employee’s willful failure or refusal to perform his duties as required by this
Agreement; provided that, the termination of Employee’s employment pursuant to this
subparagraph (d) shall not constitute valid termination for Cause unless Employee shall
first have received written notice from the Board stating with specificity the nature
of such failure or refusal in the performance of duties;
	 
	 	(e)	 	Gross negligence, theft of Employer’s, subsidiary’s or affiliate’s property, or
the theft of any property of any customers or suppliers, material violation by Employee
of any duty of loyalty to Employer, or any other material misconduct on the part of
Employee; or
	 
	 	(f)	 	Material violation of any written employee policy promulgated by Employer or
its subsidiary or affiliate and applicable to Employee, as in effect at that time,
including, without limitation, the receipt of any kick-back or side payment from any
customer, supplier or vendor.

	 	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as provided below, termination of Employee’s
employment by Employee for any reason, shall be treated the same as a termination for Cause

-8-

 

	 	 	and shall be effective as of the effective date of such resignation, but acceptance of such
resignation by Employer shall not be deemed a waiver of any right of Employer under this
Agreement. If Employee (i) through the action of Employer, (a) ceases to hold the title of
Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer reporting directly to the CEO or (b) is
transferred to any place other than within the Houston, Texas metropolitan area (unless such
cessation or transfer is the result of events which would otherwise entitle Employer to
terminate Employee for cause under this Section 7), such circumstances shall be deemed a
termination other than for Cause; provided, however, that Employee within ninety (90) days
of the occurrence of such event must notify the Employer of such occurrence, and if within
thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice the Employer has failed to remedy the
condition, Employee must resign and his resignation shall be deemed a termination other than
for Cause and have the effect set forth in Section 8 below.

	8.	 	Other Termination by Employer.

	 	(a)	 	Employer may terminate Employee’s employment at any time for any reason or for
no reason at all, and Employer’s obligation to compensate Employee under this Agreement
shall in all respects cease upon such termination, except that, and provided that
Employee shall not have been terminated for Cause, as described in Section 7 above:

	 	(i)	 	Employer shall pay Employee, within thirty (30) days of such
termination (or sooner if required by law), any Accrued Compensation and any
expenses reimbursable pursuant to Section 5 as of the time of such termination;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Employee shall be entitled to any Accrued Benefits as of the
time of such termination when and if provided to be paid by the applicable
program or plan. In addition, subject to Employee’s timely execution (and
non-revocation) of the form of Release Agreement described in Section 10(a),
Employee shall be entitled to reimbursement of the payment of premiums required
to continue Employee’s group health care coverage pursuant to the Consolidated
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 (“COBRA”) until the earlier
of (a) the date his COBRA continuation coverage ceases or (b) for twelve (12)
months after the date of his termination of employment;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Subject to Employee’s timely execution (and non-revocation) of
the form of Release Agreement described in Section 10(a) within sixty (60) days
of the date of Employee’s termination, Employer shall pay to Employee within
seventy-five
(75) days of Employee’s termination (i) a severance benefit consisting of a
single lump sum cash payment equal to the larger of (a) his annual base
salary or (b) the base salary he would have been paid over the remaining
Term of Employment and (ii) (a) the higher of one times the sum of the
Employee’s target annual incentive bonus for the calendar year in which the
termination of employment occurs or (b) the actual incentive bonus received
by the Employee for the calendar year that preceded the year in which the
termination of employment occurs. The payment to Employee of the severance
benefit shall be conditioned upon the effectiveness of the Release Agreement
which shall be substantially in the form of the attached hereto as Exhibit
“B”;

-9-

 

	 	(iv)	 	The unvested portion of all stock options or restricted stock
of Employer held by Employee shall immediately vest and become exercisable, or
payable, as the case may be, except that any shares of restricted stock, the
vesting of which are subject to the achievement of performance criteria, shall
vest only to the extent such award becomes “earned” based on the achievement of
the applicable performance criteria, with vesting on the date the achievement
of the criteria is determined by the Board, but not later than March
15th following the end of the applicable year; and
	 
	 	(v)	 	Employee’s contingent performance bonus under the Employer’s
annual cash bonus plan for the fiscal year in which Employee’s date of
termination occurs shall be determined at the end of the fiscal year in
accordance with the terms of the bonus plan and performance criteria for such
contingent bonus award, and to the extent such bonus is earned bonus on the
achievement of the performance criteria, the amount (days in the year lapsed as
of Employee’s termination over 365) of such “earned” bonus shall be paid to
Employee in a lump sum on the normal payment date for such annual bonuses under
the plan, but not later than the March 15th following the end of the
fiscal year of termination of employment.

	 	(b)	 	Except as may be required by state or federal law, Employee shall not be
entitled to any other compensation or benefits whatsoever if Employee’s employment is
terminated pursuant to this Section 8.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed that Employer’s obligation to make
the payments contemplated in this Section 8(a)(ii) and 8(a)(iii) is subject to
Employee’s compliance with the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement, subject to
the requirements to the contrary of any state or federal law.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Employee shall not have a termination of employment for purposes of this
Agreement unless such termination constitutes a “separation from service” for purposes
of Section 409A of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder.
	 
	 	(e)	 	This Agreement is not intended to provide payments or benefits that would
constitute a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code
and related regulations and Treasury pronouncements (“Section 409A”), and the Agreement
shall be interpreted accordingly.

	9.	 	Change of Control

	 	(a)	 	A Change of Control (“Change of Control”) shall mean the closing of a
transaction or series of transactions in which either:

	 	(i)	 	More than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company or,
	 
	 	(ii)	 	All or substantially all of the assets of the Company are
transferred to a party that was not a significant stockholder, member, or
partner in the Company or any of

-10-

 

	 	 	 	its subsidiaries, ventures or affiliates prior
to such transaction or series of transactions.

	 	(b)	 	Subject to Section 9(a), if at any time within twelve (12) months following a
Change of Control, the Employee incurs a termination of employment by the Employer
without cause, or resigns his employment for Good Reason, then subject to Employee’s
timely execution (and non-revocation) of the form of Release Agreement described in
Section 10(a) within sixty (60) days of the date of Employee’s termination, the
Employer shall pay to Employee within seventy-five (75) days of Employee’s termination:

	 	(i)	 	Two times the sum of the Employee’s base salary as of the
termination of employment; plus
	 
	 	(ii)	 	The higher of one times the sum of the Employee’s target annual
incentive bonus for the calendar year in which the Change of Control occurs; or
the actual incentive bonus received by the Employee for the calendar year that
preceded the year in which the Change of Control occurs.

	 	(c)	 	In addition, subject to Section 9(a), all outstanding stock options and other
equity-based compensation awards held by the Employee at the time of his termination of
employment shall automatically vest in full; provided, however, that restricted stock
awards granted to Employee which are subject to meeting performance goals shall only
vest upon determination that such goals were met as of the date of termination of
employment.
	 
	 	(d)	 	In addition, Employer shall pay Employee, within thirty (30) days of such
termination of employment (or sooner if required by law), any Accrued Compensation and

effect with respect to each of the parties and their respective heirs, executors,
personal representatives, successors or permitted assigns. Nothing in Section 10 shall

employment for Cause.

otherwise contravene or be invalid under the laws of any
state or other jurisdiction where it is applicable but
for such contravention or invalidity, such contravention
or invalidity shall not invalidate all of the provisions
of this Agreement, but rather this Agreement shall be
reformed and construed, insofar as the laws of that state
or jurisdiction are concerned, as not containing the
provision or provisions, but only to the extent that they

RELEASE AGREEMENT

     This Release Agreement (this “Agreement”) constitutes the release referred to in that
certain Employment Agreement dated as of April ___, 2010 (the “Employment Agreement”), by
and among James M. Mitchell (“Employee”) and T-3 Energy Services, Inc.(the

expenses including attorneys’ fees incurred in these matters; (xvii) any and all rights, benefits
or claims Employee may have under any employment contract, incentive or deferred compensation plan
or equity-based plan with Company Party (collectively, the “Released Claims”). In no event
shall the Released Claims include (a) any claim which arises after the date of this Agreement, or
(b) any claim to vested benefits under an employee benefit plan. This Agreement is not intended to
indicate that any such claims exist or that, if they do exist, they are meritorious. Rather,
Employee is simply agreeing that, in exchange for the consideration recited in the first sentence
of this paragraph, any and all potential claims of this nature that Employee may have against the
Company Parties, regardless of whether they actually exist, are expressly settled, compromised and
waived. By signing this Agreement, Employee is bound by it. Anyone who succeeds to Employee’s
rights and responsibilities, such as heirs or the executor of Employee’s estate, is also bound by
this Agreement. This release also applies to any claims brought by any person or agency or class
action under which Employee may have a right or benefit.

     THIS RELEASE INCLUDES MATTERS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE SOLE OR PARTIAL NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER GROSS OR
SIMPLE) OR OTHER FAULT, INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY, OF ANY OF THE COMPANY PARTIES.

     (b) Employee agrees not to bring or join any lawsuit against any of the Company Parties in any
court relating to any of the Released Claims. Employee represents that Employee has not brought or
joined any lawsuit or filed any charge or claim against any of the Company Parties in any court or
before any government agency and has made no assignment of any rights Employee has asserted or may
have
against any of the Company Parties to any person or entity, in each case, with respect to any
Released Claims.

 

 

     By executing and delivering this Agreement, Employee acknowledges that:

     (i) Employee has carefully read this Agreement;

     (ii) Employee has had at least 21 / 45 days (the “Consideration Period”) to
consider this Agreement before the execution and delivery hereof to the Company;

     (iii) Employee has been and hereby is advised in writing that Employee may, at
Employee’s option and expense, discuss this Agreement with an attorney of Employee’s choice
and that Employee has had adequate opportunity to do so;

     (iv) Employee fully understands the final and binding effect of this Agreement; the
only promises made to Employee to sign this Agreement are those stated in the Employment
Agreement and herein; and Employee is signing this Agreement voluntarily and of Employee’s
own free will, and that Employee understands and agrees to each of the terms of this
Agreement.

     (v) Employee must return this Agreement to the Company prior to the end of the
Consideration Period.

     Payment shall be made to Employee pursuant to Section 8(a) or Section 9 of the Agreement
within seventy-five (75) days of the effective date of his termination of employment, but only if
Employee has executed the Release Agreement as set forth in Exhibit B and such Release Agreement
has become irrevocable. In addition, if on his termination of employment Employee is a “specified
employee”, as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder, the Employer shall not make or begin to make any payments to Employee until the first
(1st) day that is six (6) months after Employee’s termination, other than any payment
that qualifies as a “short-term deferral” under Section 409A or qualifies as an exempt separation
payment, as provided in Treasury Regulations Sec. 409A-1(b)(9) — the “two-year, two-time rule”.
Any payments that are so delayed as provided above shall be paid to Employee in a single payment on
the first day that is six months after his termination of employment (or death if earlier).

     Notwithstanding the initial effectiveness of this Agreement, Employee may revoke the delivery
(and therefore the effectiveness) of this Agreement within the seven (7) day period beginning on
the date Employee delivers this Agreement to the Company (such seven day period being referred to
herein as the (“Release Revocation Period”). To be effective, such revocation must be in
writing signed by Employee and must be delivered to the Company before 11:59 p.m., Houston, Texas
time, on the last day of the Release Revocation Period. If an effective revocation is delivered in
the foregoing manner and time frame, this Agreement shall be of no force or effect and shall be
null and void ab initio. No consideration shall be paid if this Agreement is revoked by
Employee in the foregoing manner.

Executed on this      day of                     , 20     .

Group, whether by a sale or pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other business combination or
otherwise in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, or (ii) of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company (any transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) is
referred to herein as a “Sale of the Business”) then, such Controlling Group may, at its option,
require each other Shareholder (collectively, the “Remaining Shareholders”) to sell all of the
Shares (and all securities then convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares)
beneficially owned by each of the Remaining Shareholders in such Sale of the Business at the same
price (net of any consideration still to be paid for Shares upon the exercise of options, warrants
or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares) and on the same
terms (including the same form or forms of consideration) and conditions as shall be applicable to
the Shares sold by the Controlling Group (the “Drag- Along Terms”).

          (b) Any Controlling Group desiring to exercise the rights specified in this Article 3 shall so
exercise by giving written notice to each of the Remaining Shareholders of the intent of

 

 

the Controlling Group to exercise such rights. Such notice (the “Drag-Along Notice”) shall be
given not later than the first to occur of (i) the day on which such Controlling Group shall enter
into a binding commitment to consummate the Sale of the Business and (ii) 10 days prior to the date
upon which a Sale of the Business is proposed to be consummated. Such notice shall specify in
reasonable detail the Drag-Along Terms. Upon the request of such Controlling Group, following
receipt of such notice each Remaining Shareholder shall sign an agreement for the Sale of the
Business with the third party buyer, which agreement shall contain usual and customary terms,
provisions, representations and conditions, and such Remaining Shareholder shall be obligated to
sell its Shares on the Drag-Along Terms; provided, that such Controlling Group shall not consummate
the Sale of the Business if the Shares which the Remaining Shareholders are entitled to sell are
not purchased or otherwise paid for on the Drag Along Terms (other than as a result of (i) a breach
of this Agreement by a Remaining Shareholder or (ii) the exercise of rights pursuant to
Section 3.1(e) hereof).

          (c) At the closing of a Sale of the Business, if required by such Controlling Group, each
Remaining Shareholder shall deliver a certificate or certificates for its Shares, free and clear of
all encumbrances of any nature whatsoever and duly endorsed or with duly executed stock powers, and
shall take any other action reasonably requested by such Controlling Group to consummate the Sale
of the Business.

          (d) In connection with any Sale of the Business as contemplated by this Section 3.1, each
Shareholder agrees to vote in favor of such Sale of the Business.

          (e) If any Remaining Shareholder does not agree with the Drag-Along Terms, then, within 5 days
of the Drag-Along Notice, such Remaining Shareholder can elect, and the Company will cooperate, to
have such remaining Shareholder’s shares valued by a written appraisal within 30 days of a person
qualified to value such Shares as shall be selected by the Board of Directors, with the consent of
the such Remaining Shareholder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The
appraiser must be qualified by training and experience to perform business appraisals of private
corporations. The written appraisal shall determine the value of such Shares, applying a discount
of 20% to reflect the minority status of such Shares, as of the date of the Drag-Along Notice,
excluding any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the Sale of the Business and the
appraisal shall be binding upon the Company, Seren, the Shareholders and any assignee or
transferee. If the per Share appraisal of such Shares exceeds 10% of the per Share price set forth
in the Drag-Along Terms, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to such Remaining Shareholder
such per Share price as determined by the appraisal and reimburse such Remaining Shareholder for
the expense of the appraiser’s fee and otherwise the expense of such appraisal shall be paid by
such Shareholder.

ARTICLE 4.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

     Section 4.1. Piggyback Registration.

          (a) After the establishment of a Public Market for the Shares, if the Company at any time
proposes to register any Shares under the Securities Act (other than a registration on

 

 

Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to similar effect) for sale for cash to the public under
the Securities Act, the Company will each such time give written notice to each Shareholder of its
intention to so register and of the rights of the Shareholders under this Section 4.1, at least 30
days (the “Notice Date”) prior to the anticipated filing date of the registration statement
relating to such registration. Such notice shall offer each such Shareholder the opportunity,
subject to Section 4.1(c) hereof, to include in such registration statement the Registrable Shares
(as defined in Section 4.1(e) hereof) held by such Shareholder. Upon the written request of any
Shareholder made within 10 days after the receipt of the Company’s notice (which request by such
Shareholder shall specify the number of Registrable Shares intended to be disposed of by such
Shareholder), the Company will use its reasonable efforts to include in the proposed registration
all Registrable Shares which the Company has been so requested to register by such Shareholders, to
the extent required to permit the disposition of such Registrable Shares so requested to be
registered by the Shareholders.

          (b) If, at any time after giving such written notice of its intention to register any Shares
and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such
registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register the Shares, the Company
may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Shareholders and thereupon
the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Shares requested by any
Shareholder to be included in such registration statement pursuant to this Section 4.1.

          (c) If the registration referred to in the first sentence of Section 4.1(a) is to be in whole
or part an underwritten registration, and the managing underwriter(s) advise the Company in writing
that in their good faith opinion such offering would be materially and adversely affected by the
inclusion therein of the number of Shares requested to be included therein, the Company shall
include Shares in such registration in the following order (i) first, Shares to be sold by the
Company shall be included in the registration and (ii) second, Registrable Shares requested to be
included by Shareholders pursuant to Section 4.1(a) shall be included on a pro rata basis based on
the relative number of Registrable Shares owned by them.

          (d) The Company shall not be required under this Section 4.1 to effect any “demand”
registration or any registration incidental to the registration of any of its securities in
connection with mergers, acquisitions, exchange offers, subscription offers, dividend reinvestment
plans or stock option or other executive or employee benefit or compensation plans.

          (e) For purposes of this Section 4.1, “Registrable Shares” means all of the Shares
beneficially owned by the Shareholders except that Shares shall not constitute Registrable Shares
with respect to a proposed offer or sale thereof to the extent that: (i) a registration statement
with respect to the sale of such Shares shall have become effective under the Securities Act and
such Shares shall have been disposed of in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth in
such registration statement or (ii) as of the Notice Date, the Shareholder beneficially owning such
Shares has a then-present ability to sell such Shares pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act, or any successor rule to similar effect (it being agreed and understood that those
Shares which cannot be sold at such time because of volume or manner of sale limitations applicable
with respect

 

 

to the sale of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144, such successor rules or other applicable
securities laws, shall be deemed Registrable Shares).

          (f) The Company will pay all expenses incurred in connection with each registration of Shares
pursuant to this Section 4.1, except that each Shareholder having Shares registered pursuant to
this Section 4.1 shall pay all fees and expenses of such Shareholder’s counsel and the underwriting
discounts, commissions and similar fees, and transfer taxes applicable to the sale of the Shares of
such Shareholder included in such registration.

          (g) Each Shareholder making a request for registration pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall
(i) furnish to the Company such information regarding its Shares as the Company may request and as
shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration and (ii) if requested by the
underwriter(s), execute and deliver an underwriting agreement in the customary form of the managing
underwriter of such offering and containing such terms and provisions as are customary in
transactions of this type.

          (h) The parties hereto agree that the restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 1.1 and
the right of first refusal set forth in Section 1.2 shall not be applicable to sales by any
Shareholder, and the tag-along rights set forth in Section 2.1 shall not be applicable to any sales
by a Controlling Shareholder or any Permitted Winn Transferee, in a public offering pursuant to a
registration statement under the Securities Act as long as such offering results in the
establishment of a Public Market for the Shares or there is then a Public Market for the Shares.

          (i) If any registration referred to in the first sentence of Section 4.1(a) is to be in whole
or part an underwritten public offering, each Shareholder agrees not to effect any public sale or
distribution, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144, or any successor provision, under the
Securities Act, of any Shares and not to effect any such public sale or distribution of any other
equity security of the Company or of any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable
for any equity security of the Company (in each case, other than as part of such underwritten
public offering) during the seven days prior to, and during the 90-day period which begins on, the
effective date of such registration statement (except as part of such registration);
provided, that each Shareholder has received written notice of such registration at least
five business days prior to the anticipated beginning of the seven- day period referred to above.

          (j) In the case of each registration contemplated by this Section 4.1, the Company shall keep
the Shareholders of Registrable Shares requested to be included in the registration (the
“Requesting Shareholders”) advised as to the initiation of proceedings for such registration and as
to the completion thereof, and will advise each such Requesting Shareholder, upon request, of the
progress of such proceedings. In addition, the Company will follow procedures customarily observed
by issuers in registered public offerings, and accord to each Requesting Shareholder all rights
(including, without limitation, the right to perform appropriate “due diligence”) customarily
accorded to selling Shareholders in secondary distributions and to managing underwriters if the
transaction in question is an underwritten public offering. At the expense of the Company, the
Company will (a) keep such registration current and effective by such action as may be necessary or

 

 

appropriate, including, without limitation, the filing of post-effective amendments and
supplements to any registration statement or prospectus, for such period as is necessary to permit
the sale and distribution of the Registrable Shares included in such registration pursuant thereto;
provided, that such period shall not exceed 90 days, (b) take all necessary action under
any applicable blue sky or other state securities laws to permit such sale and/or distribution, all
as reasonably requested by a Requesting Shareholder, (c) comply with applicable requirements of all
regulatory entities, including, without limitation, the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc., (d) furnish each Requesting Shareholder such number of registration statements, prospectuses,
supplements, amendments, offering circulars and other documents incidental thereto as such
Requesting Shareholder from time to time may reasonably request, (e) list all Registrable Shares
included in such registration on each securities exchange on which shares of the same class are
then listed and (f) furnish (or cause to be furnished) to each Requesting Shareholder, all
undertakings, agreements, certificates, opinions, financial statements and “comfort letters” of the
sort customarily provided to selling Shareholders in secondary distributions and to the managing
underwriters if the transaction in question is an underwritten public offering.

          (k) The Company will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Requesting Shareholder whose
Registrable Shares are included in any registration contemplated by this Section 4.1 and each
underwriter of such Registrable Shares, and each Person (as hereafter defined), if any, who
controls each such Requesting Shareholder and underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act,
and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and Affiliates (as hereafter
defined) (each, an “Indemnified Person”), to the fullest extent enforceable under applicable law
against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of
or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in such
registration statement, prospectus, supplement, amendment, offering circular or other document
related to any registration, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will
reimburse each such indemnified Person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with investigating and/or defending (and/or preparing for any investigation or defense
of) any such claim, loss, damage, liability, action or violation; provided, that the
Company will not be liable in any such case to any such Indemnified Person if, but only to the
extent that, any such claim, loss, damage, liability, action, violation or expense is finally
determined to arise out of or result from any untrue statement in or omission from written
information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by such Indemnified Person and
stated to be specifically for use therein. Each Requesting Shareholder will, if Registrable Shares
held by such Requesting Shareholder are included in a registration effected pursuant to this
Section 4.1, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers
who signs the related registration statement, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue
statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, supplement,
amendment, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and such directors, officers or Persons for any
legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with

 

 

investigating and/or defending (and/or preparing for any investigation or defense of) any such
claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that
such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) was made in
(or omitted from) such registration statement, prospectus, supplement, amendment, offering circular
or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by an instrument duly executed by such Requesting Shareholder and stated to be specifically
for use therein; provided, that the liability of any such Requesting Shareholder under this
Section 4.1(k) shall be limited to the net sales proceeds actually received by such Requesting
Shareholder as a result of the sale by it of securities in such registration. The covenants
contained in this Section 4.1(k) shall survive the date upon which none of the Shares shall be
outstanding and the termination of this Agreement. As used herein, (i) “Affiliate” shall have the
meaning given such term under Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act and (ii) “Person” shall
mean an individual, a corporation, an association, a joint-stock company, a limited liability
company, a business trust or other similar organization, a partnership, a joint venture, a trust,
an unincorporated organization or a government or any agency, instrumentality or political
subdivision thereof.

          (l) As used herein, a “Public Market for the Shares” shall exist when at least 15% of the
Shares then outstanding have been sold pursuant to one or more effective registration statements
under the Securities Act, and the Shares are publicly traded in the over-the-counter market or
NASDAQ Stock Market or are listed on a national securities exchange.
