ESTABLISHMENT AND INTENT.

 

The purpose of this Annual Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) is to promote the interests of Civeo Corporation (the “Company”) and its stockholders by motivating the key employees of the Company and its affiliates to produce outstanding results, encouraging superior performance, increasing productivity, and aiding in the ability to attract and retain such key employees through annual cash bonus opportunities. This Plan was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) on [●] and by Oil States International, Inc., as the Company’s sole stockholder, on [●]. The Plan is intended to provide the Company with the ability to grant qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m)(4)(c) of the Code, and shall be administered and interpreted with respect to bonus awards intended to qualify as such so to ensure such compliance.

 

2.

PLAN GUIDELINES.

 

The administration of the Plan and any potential financial remuneration to come as a result of its implementation is subject to the determination by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) that the performance goals for the applicable periods have been achieved. The Plan is an additional compensation program designed to encourage Plan participants (“Participants”) to exceed specified objective performance targets for the designated period. Payments under the Plan will be made upon approval by the Company’s Compensation Committee after it reviews the performance results for the designated period. The maximum bonus that shall be payable under bonus awards that the Compensation Committee intends to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under section 162(m) of the Code granted to any single Participant during any 12-month period may not exceed $4,000,000.

PERFORMANCE TARGETS.

 

3.1        Designation of Performance Targets. The Compensation Committee shall determine the performance target or targets to be used for each calendar year (a “Plan Year”) for determining the bonuses to be paid as a result of this Plan. Performance targets may be based on Company, regional, business units and/or individual achievements, or any combination of the same or on such other factors as the Compensation Committee may determine. Different performance targets may be established for different Participants for any Plan Year. Satisfactory results as determined by the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, must be achieved in order for a performance payment to occur under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of bonuses intended to constitute “performance based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), the performance targets under the Plan shall be limited to those set forth in Section 3.3.

 

 
 

 

 

3.2        Performance Targets. The performance targets for any award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code shall be with respect to one or more of the following: (i) net income; (ii) pre-tax income; (iii) operating income; (iv) cash flow; (v) earnings per share; (vi) earnings before any one or more of the following items: interest, taxes, depreciation or amortization; (vii) return on equity; (viii) return on invested capital or assets; (ix) cost reductions or savings; (x) funds from operations and (xi) appreciation in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. Which objectives to use with respect to an award, the weighting of the objectives if more than one is used, and whether the objective is to be measured against a Company-established budget or target, an index or a peer group of companies, shall be determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion at the time of grant of the award. A performance target under this Section 3.3 need not be based on an increase or a positive result and may include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses.

 

3.3       Equitable Adjustment to Performance Targets. The performance target applicable to any Participant for a Plan Year shall be subject to equitable adjustment at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee to reflect the occurrence of any significant events during the Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall such adjustment be made with respect to any performance target of a bonus award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code to the extent such adjustment would cause the bonus to cease to meet the requirements of “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

PARTICIPANTS.

 

Employees of the Company and its affiliates eligible to participate in the Plan shall be designated by the Compensation Committee as Participants.

PERFORMANCE PAY.

 

A Participant’s designated target bonus for a Plan Year shall be determined under criteria established or approved by the Compensation Committee for that Plan Year. In the discretion of the Compensation Committee, different target bonuses may be established for Participants. Care will be used in communicating to any Participant his performance targets and potential performance amount for a Plan Year. The amount of target bonus, if any, a Participant may receive for any Plan Year will depend upon the performance level achieved for that Plan Year, as determined by the Compensation Committee. Payment of a performance bonus for any Plan Year shall be made no later than the fifteenth day of the third month following the end of such Plan Year.

 

6.

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

 

A Participant's termination of employment for any reason prior to a performance payment will result in the Participant’s forfeiture of any right, title or interest in a performance payment under the Plan, unless and to the extent waived by the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion; provided, that no such forfeitures shall be waived to the extent such waiver would cause a bonus award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code to fail to do so.
