12.

Section 409A. Any amounts payable with respect to the Restricted Stock Units are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code in reliance on the short-term deferral exemption set forth in the final regulations issued thereunder. If any amounts payable with respect to the Restricted Stock Units are determined to be subject to Section 409A of the Code, such payments may only be made under this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by Section 409A of the Code. All payments to be made upon a termination of employment may only be made upon a “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each payment shall be treated as a separate payment. In no event may the Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year in which the payments under this Agreement will be made. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Participant is a “specified employee” as defined by Section 409A of the Code, then if and to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code, any payment with respect to the Restricted Stock Units upon a separation from service will not be made before the date that is six (6) months after the Participant separates from service or such earlier date permitted by Section 409A of the Code.

 

13.

No Right to Continuous Service. Nothing herein alters the at-will nature of the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed by implication or otherwise to impose any limitation on any right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate the Participant’s Continuous Service at any time.

  otherwise assisting in an action or proceeding by any Governmental Authorities relating to a possible violation of law, including providing documents or other confidential information to Governmental Authorities; or (iv) receiving an award for information provided to the SEC or any other Governmental Authority.

3.    Definition of Confidential Information. As used herein, “Confidential Information” means all non-public or proprietary information of, or related to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, all designs, ideas, concepts, improvements, product developments, discoveries and inventions, whether patentable or not, that (i) are acquired by or disclosed to the Participant during the period that the Participant is or has been employed or affiliated with the Company or any of its subsidiaries (whether acquired or disclosed during business hours or otherwise and whether acquired or disclosed on the Company’s premises or otherwise) or (ii) relate to the businesses or properties, products or services of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (including all such information relating to technical information, including engineering and scientific research, development, methodology, devices and processes; formulas and chemical compositions; blueprints, designs and drawings; financial information, budgets, projections and results; business and marketing plans, strategies, and programs; employee and contractor lists and records; business methods, and operating and production procedures; pricing, sales data, prospect and customer lists and information; supplier and vendor lists and information; terms of commercial contracts, as well as all such information relating to corporate opportunities, operations, future plans, methods of doing business, business plans, strategies for developing business and market share, research, financial and sales data, pricing terms, evaluations, opinions, interpretations, acquisition prospects, the identity of customers or acquisition targets or their requirements, the identity of key contacts within customers’ organizations or within the organization of acquisition prospects, or marketing and merchandising techniques, prospective names and marks).

4.    Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

 

  a.

In granting the Restricted Stock Unit Award to the Participant, the Company provides the Participant a further incentive to build the Company’s goodwill and links the Participant’s interests to the Company’s long-term business interests. As an inducement for the Company to grant the Restricted Stock Unit Award and enter into this Agreement,


  and in order to protect the Confidential Information, and the Company’s and its subsidiaries goodwill, the Participant voluntarily agrees to the covenants set forth in this Section 4(a). The Participant agrees and acknowledges that the limitations and restrictions set forth herein, including the geographical and temporal restrictions on certain activities, are reasonable in all respects and not oppressive and are material and substantial part of the Company’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, and are intended and necessary to protect the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ Confidential Information, goodwill, and substantial and legitimate business interests.

 

  b.

The Participant agrees that during the Prohibited Period, the Participant shall not, without prior written approval of the Company, directly or indirectly, for the Participant, or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person or entity of whatever nature:

 

  i.

engage in or carry on within the Market Area in competition with the Company or any of its subsidiaries in any aspect of the Business, which prohibition shall prevent the Participant from directly or indirectly: (A) owning, managing, operating, becoming an officer or director of any person or entity primarily engaged in, or planning to primarily engage in, the Business in the Market Area in competition, or anticipated competition, with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (B) in the Market Area, joining, becoming employee or consultant of, or otherwise being affiliated with any person or entity primarily engaged in, or planning to primarily engage in, the Business in the Market Area in competition, or anticipated competition, with the Company or any of its subsidiaries (in each case, with respect to this clause (B), in any capacity in which the Participant’s duties are the same or similar to those performed for the Company or any of its subsidiaries) – for purposes of this provision, “primarily engage” means that at least twenty percent (20%) of the gross revenue of a person or entity’s business is from business directly competitive with the Business;

 

  ii.

appropriate any Business Opportunity of, or relating to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries located in the Market Area;

 

  iii.

within the Market Area, solicit, canvass, approach, encourage, entice or induce any customer or supplier of the Company or any of its subsidiaries with whom or which the Participant had contact in the last 24 months of his or her employment with the Company or its subsidiaries or about whom or which the Participant obtained Confidential Information to cease or lessen such customer’s or supplier’s business with the Company or any of its subsidiaries in the Business; or

 

  iv.

solicit, canvass, approach, encourage, entice or induce any employee or contractor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate his, her or its employment or engagement therewith, excluding general advertisements and solicitations not targeted at the employees or contractors of the Company or its subsidiaries.

 

  v.

Notwithstanding the above-referenced limitations in Sections 4(b)(i), 4(b)(ii) and 4(b)(iii), such limitations shall not apply following the termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company and (as applicable) any of its


  subsidiaries in those portions of the Market Area located within the State of Oklahoma. Instead, the Participant agrees that, during the portion of the Prohibited Period that occurs after the Participant is no longer employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the restrictions on the Participant’s activities within those portions of the Market Area located within the State of Oklahoma (in addition to those restrictions set forth in Sections 1 and 4(b)(iv) herein) shall be as follows: the Participant will not directly or indirectly solicit the sale of goods, services, or a combination of goods and services from the established customers of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries.

 

  c.

For purposes of this Section 4, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

  i.

Business” means the business and operations that are the same or similar to those performed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries and for which the Participant obtained Confidential Information or had direct or indirect responsibilities during the period of the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which business and operations include (if Participant obtained Confidential Information or had direct or indirect responsibilities with respect to such business and operations on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries during the period of his or her employment): rig-based and coiled tubing-based well maintenance and workover services, well completion and recompletion services, fluid management services, and fishing and rental services.

 

  ii.

Business Opportunity” shall mean any commercial, investment or other business opportunity relating to the Business.

 

  iii.

Market Area” means: onshore land areas in the Continental United States in (a) each county in which the Participant was based or performed material services on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; and (b) each of the following basins and oil and gas shale plays: Bakken, Barnett, Denver-Julesberg, Eagle Ford, Fayetteville, Granite Wash, Haynesville, Marcellus, Mississippi Lime, Niobrara, Permian, Powder River, SCOOP, STACK, Tuscaloosa, Williston, and Woodford; provided, however, a basin or play shall not be included within the Market Area if: (1) the Participant had no direct or indirect responsibilities with respect to such basin or play during the last 24 months of the Participant’s employment or engagement with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (2) the Participant obtained no Confidential Information with respect the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ Business in such basin or play.

 

  iv.

Prohibited Period” shall mean the period during which the Participant is employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries and continuing for a period of twelve (12) months following the date that the Participant is no longer employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

5.    Return of Confidential Information. Upon the termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and at any other time upon request of


the Company, the Participant shall promptly surrender and deliver to the Company all documents (including electronically stored information) and all copies thereof and all other materials of any nature containing or pertaining to all Confidential Information (including any Company-issued computer, mobile devise or other equipment) in the Participant’s possession, custody or control and the Participant shall not retain any such document or other materials or property.

6.    Specific Performance. Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Company and its subsidiaries as a result of a breach of the foregoing covenants, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused to the Company and its subsidiaries for which it would have no other adequate remedy, the Participant agrees that the Company and each of its subsidiaries shall be entitled to enforce the foregoing covenants, in the event of a breach, by injunctions and restraining orders and that such enforcement shall not be the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ exclusive remedy for a breach but instead shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Company and its subsidiaries, at law and equity.

7.    Severability. The covenants in this Appendix A to the Agreement are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant (or any portion thereof) shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant (or portion thereof). Moreover, in the event any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the Participant and the Company that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which the arbitrator deems reasonable and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed.

8.    Third-Party Beneficiaries. Each of the Company’s subsidiaries that is not a signatory hereto shall be a third-party beneficiary of the Participant’s representations, covenants and obligations set forth in this Appendix A and shall be entitled to enforce such representations, covenants and obligations as if a party hereto.
