NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the covenants and agreements set forth below and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

Article I
General principles for allocation of liabilities

Section 1.1 General Principles.

(a) Each member of the OS Group and each member of the Civeo Group shall take any and all reasonable action as shall be necessary or appropriate so that active participation in the OS Benefit Plans by all Civeo Group Employees shall terminate in connection with the Distribution as and when provided under this Agreement (or, if not specifically provided under this Agreement, as of the Effective Time).

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, effective as of the Distribution Date, one or more members of the Civeo Group (as determined by Civeo) shall assume or continue the sponsorship of, and no member of the OS Group shall have any further Liability with respect to or under, the following agreements, obligations and Liabilities, and Civeo shall indemnify each member of the OS Group, and the officers, directors, and employees of each member of the OS Group, and hold them harmless with respect to such agreements, obligations or Liabilities:

(i) any and all individual agreements entered into between any member of the OS Group or Civeo Group and any Civeo Group Employee or Former Civeo Group Employee;

(ii) any and all agreements entered into between any member of the OS Group or Civeo Group and any individual who is a consultant or an independent contractor providing services primarily for the benefit of the Civeo Business;

(iii) any and all collective bargaining agreements, collective agreements and trade union or works council agreements entered into between any member of the OS Group or Civeo Group and any labor union, trade union, works council or other representative of Civeo Group Employees (it being acknowledged and understood that Civeo shall be responsible for completing all successor employer applications, if any, with respect to agreements and for obtaining all required certifications with respect to such applications);

(iv) any and all wages, salaries, incentive compensation (as the same may be modified by this Agreement), commissions, bonuses, payment owed for any vacation or paid time off entitlement and any other compensation or benefits payable to or on behalf of any Civeo Group Employees or Former Civeo Group Employees on or after the Distribution Date, without regard to when such wages, salaries, incentive compensation, commissions, bonuses, or other compensation or benefits are or may have been earned;

(v) any and all Liabilities and other obligations relating to any Benefit Plan that is sponsored, maintained or contributed to exclusively by a member or members of the Civeo Group or for the benefit of one or more Civeo Group Employees or Former Civeo Group Employees (whether or not such Liabilities relate to Civeo Group Employees or Former Civeo Group Employees);

(vi) any and all expenses and obligations related to relocation, repatriation, transfers or similar items incurred by or owed to any Civeo Group Employees or Former Civeo Group Employees that have not been paid prior to the Distribution Date;

(vii) any and all immigration-related, visa, work application or similar rights, obligations and Liabilities related to any Civeo Group Employees and Former Civeo Group Employees;

(viii) any employment tax, superannuation, employment insurance, pension plan or similar Liabilities incurred or owed with respect to Civeo Group Employees and Former Civeo Group Employees; and

(ix) any and all Liabilities and obligations whatsoever with respect to claims made by, on behalf of, or with respect to any Civeo Group Employees, Former Civeo Group Employees or independent contractors providing services primarily for the Civeo Business including any such Liability or obligation in connection with any labor or employment practice, workers’ compensation claims, labor or employment Laws (including the Alberta Human Rights Act), employee benefit plan, program or policy not otherwise expressly retained or assumed by any member of the OS Group pursuant to this Agreement, including such Liabilities relating to actions or omissions of or by any member of the Civeo Group or any officer, director, employee or agent thereof on or prior to the Distribution Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, if applicable Law requires Civeo or a member of the Civeo Group to enter into new agreements with the applicable Civeo Group Employee in order to assume new, equivalent and contractual obligations that would permit Civeo to satisfy the terms of Section 1.1(b) above, then Civeo or a member of the Civeo Group shall enter into such agreements.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, effective as of the Effective Time, no member of the Civeo Group shall have any further Liability for, and Oil States shall indemnify each member of the Civeo Group, and the officers, directors, and employees of each member of the Civeo Group, and hold them harmless with respect to any and all Liabilities and obligations whatsoever with respect to, claims made by or with respect to any OS Group Employees and Former OS Group Employees in connection with any employee benefit plan, program or policy not otherwise retained or assumed by any member of the Civeo Group pursuant to this Agreement, including such Liabilities relating to actions or omissions of or by any member of the OS Group or any officer, director, employee or agent thereof on, prior to or after the Distribution Date.

(b) Evidence of Prior Service. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, but subject to applicable Law, upon reasonable request by one Party to the other Party, the first Party will provide to the other Party copies of any records available to the first Party to document such service, plan participation and membership of such Employees and cooperate with the first Party to resolve any discrepancies or obtain any missing data for purposes of determining benefit eligibility, participation, vesting and determination of level of benefits with respect to any Employee.

Section 1.3 Plan Administration.

(a) Transition Services. The Parties acknowledge that the OS Group or the Civeo Group may provide administrative services for certain of the other Party’s benefit programs for a transitional period under the terms of the Transition Services Agreement. The Parties agree to enter into a business associate or comparable agreement (if required by HIPAA or other applicable health information or privacy Laws) in connection with such Transition Services Agreement.

(b) Participant Elections and Beneficiary Designations. All participant elections and beneficiary designations made under any plan sponsored by a member of the OS Group prior to the Effective Time with respect to which Assets or Liabilities are transferred or allocated to plans maintained by a member of the Civeo Group in accordance with this Agreement shall continue in effect under the applicable Civeo Benefit Plan, including deferral, investment and payment form elections, dividend elections, coverage options and levels, beneficiary designations and the rights of alternate payees under qualified domestic relations orders, to the extent allowed by applicable Law.

Section 1.5 No Duplication or Acceleration of Benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or any Transfer Document, no participant in the Civeo 401(k) Plan, Civeo Welfare Plans or other Benefit Plans of Civeo shall receive benefits that duplicate benefits provided by the corresponding OS Benefit Plan or arrangement. Furthermore, unless expressly provided for in this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or in any Transfer Document or required by applicable Law, no provision in this Agreement shall be construed to create any right to accelerate vesting or entitlements to any compensation or Benefit Plan on the part of any OS Group Employee, Former OS Group Employee, OS Director, Civeo Group Employee or Former Civeo Group Employee.

Section 1.6 No Expansion of Participation. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, as otherwise determined or agreed to by OS and Civeo, as required by applicable Law, or as explicitly set forth in a Civeo Benefit Plan, a Civeo Group Employee shall be entitled to participate in the Civeo Benefit Plans only to the extent that such Employee was entitled to participate in the corresponding OS Benefit Plan or Benefit Plan sponsored by a member of the Civeo Group as in effect immediately prior to the Distribution Date, with it being the intent of the Parties that this Agreement does not result in any expansion of the number of Civeo Group Employees participating or the participation rights therein that they had prior to the Effective Time.

(a) Oil States and Civeo shall take any and all reasonable actions as shall be necessary and appropriate to further the provisions of this Article IV, including, to the extent practicable, providing written notice or similar communication to each Employee who holds one or more awards granted under the OS Equity Plan informing such Employee of (i) the actions contemplated by this Article IV with respect to such awards and (ii) whether (and during what time period) any “blackout” period shall be imposed upon holders of awards granted under the OS Equity Plan during which time awards may not be exercised or settled, as the case may be.

(b) From and after the Distribution, (i) a grantee who has outstanding awards under the OS Equity Plan or the Civeo New Equity Plan shall be considered to have been employed by the applicable plan sponsor before and after the Distribution for purposes of (x) vesting and (y) determining the date of termination of employment as it applies to any such award and (ii) for purposes of determining whether any “change of control” has occurred with respect to any OS Equity Award or Civeo Equity Award, (x) a “change of control” shall only be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any award that is held by an OS Group Employee upon a “change of control” of Oil States and (y) a “change of control” shall only be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any award that is held by a Civeo Group Employee upon a “change of control” of Civeo.

(c) No award described in this Article IV, whether outstanding or to be issued, adjusted, substituted or cancelled by reason of or in connection with the Distribution, shall be adjusted, settled, cancelled, or exercisable, until in the judgment of the administrator of the applicable plan or program such action is consistent with all applicable Laws, including federal securities Laws. Any period of exercisability will not be extended on account of a period during which such an award is not exercisable pursuant to the preceding sentence.

(d) The adjustment or conversion of OS Equity Awards pursuant to this Article IV is intended to be effectuated in a manner so as to result in each Adjusted OS Equity Award, OS RSA or Civeo Equity Award, as applicable, having an aggregate “fair value” and an “intrinsic value” (in each case, within the meaning of ASC 718 and determined in accordance therewith), as of immediately following the Distribution, that shall not be materially greater than the fair value and intrinsic value of the related OS Equity Award immediately prior to the Distribution.

(e) The adjustment or conversion of OS Equity Awards shall be effectuated in a manner that is intended to avoid the imposition of any penalty or other taxes on the holders thereof pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

Section 4.2 Restricted Stock.

(a) Rather than participate in the Distribution, each OS RSA that is outstanding, unvested and held by an OS Group Employee, Former OS Group Employee, OS Director, Civeo Director or Former Civeo Group Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (an “OS Employee RSA”) shall, following the Effective Time, remain outstanding and the holder thereof shall receive, in lieu of any shares of Civeo Common Stock otherwise distributable in respect of such OS Employee RSA upon the Distribution, an additional number of OS RSAs (the “Additional OS RSAs”) equal to the Additional OS RSA Number. The Additional OS RSAs shall be granted under the same terms and conditions as the related OS Employee RSA. Following the Effective Time, the OS Employee RSAs and Additional OS RSAs shall remain subject to the same terms and conditions as applicable to the OS Employee RSA prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Rather than participate in the Distribution, each OS RSA that is outstanding, unvested and held by a Civeo Group Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Civeo Employee RSA”) shall be cancelled upon the Effective Time and such holder shall be entitled to receive as soon as practicable following the Effective Time, a number of restricted shares of Civeo Common Stock under the Civeo New Equity Plan equal to the Civeo Share Number (a “Civeo RSA”). Each Civeo RSA described in the preceding sentence shall be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions after the Effective Time as the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Civeo Employee RSA immediately prior to the Effective Time (including vesting); provided, however, that from and after the Effective Time the vesting of each Civeo RSA shall be determined based upon continued service with the Civeo Group rather than the OS Group.

Section 4.3 Stock Options.

(a) Each OS Option whether or not exercisable that is outstanding and held by an OS Group Employee, Former OS Group Employee, OS Director, Civeo Director or Former Civeo Group Employee (an “OS Employee Option”) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, upon the Effective Time, be adjusted such that (i) the number of shares of OS Common Stock subject to such OS Employee Option is the Adjusted OS Share Number (following such adjustment, the OS Employee Option shall be an “Adjusted OS Option”) and (ii) the per share exercise price of such Adjusted OS Option is the OS Adjusted Exercise Price. Other than as described in the preceding sentence, following the Effective Time, the Adjusted OS Option shall remain subject to the same terms and conditions as applicable to the OS Employee Option prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Each OS Option whether or not exercisable that is outstanding and held by a Civeo Group Employee (a “Civeo Employe Option”) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, upon the Effective Time, be converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Civeo Common Stock granted under the Civeo New Equity Plan equal to the Civeo Share Number (a “Civeo Option”) with an exercise price per share of Civeo Common Stock equal to the Civeo Adjusted Exercise Price. Each Civeo Option described in the preceding sentence shall be subject to the same terms and conditions after the Effective Time as the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Civeo Employee Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (including vesting); provided, however, that from and after the Effective Time the vesting and exercisability of each Civeo Option shall be determined based upon continued service with the Civeo Group rather than the OS Group.

(c) The adjustments described in this Section 4.3 with respect to OS Options shall be effected in a manner that is consistent with Section 409A of the Code and, with respect to any OS Options “incentive stock options”, in a manner consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code.

(b) Performance-Based Deferred Stock Awards.

(i) Each OS PSU that is outstanding and held by an OS Group Employee, Former OS Group Employee, OS Director, Civeo Director or Former Civeo Group Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (an “OS Employee PSU”) shall, upon the Effective Time, be converted into a number of time-vested OS RSAs equal to the Adjusted OS Share Number. Other than as described in the preceding sentence, following the Effective Time, the resulting OS RSAs shall remain subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as applicable to the OS PSU prior to the Effective Time; provided, however that from and after the Effective Time no further “Performance Objectives” shall apply and the vesting of such OS RSAs shall be determined based solely upon continued service with the OS Group and provided, further that such OS RSAs shall have such other rights as are generally applicable to other OS RSAs (including, without limitation, any such rights relating to voting and dividends).

(ii) Each OS PSU that is outstanding and held by a Civeo Group Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Civeo Employee PSU”) shall, upon the Effective Time, be terminated at the Effective Time with the holder thereof entitled to receive, as soon as practicable following the Effective Time, a number of time-vested Civeo RSAs granted pursuant to the Civeo New Equity Plan equal to the Civeo Share Number.

Other than as described in the preceding sentence, following the Effective Time the Adjusted OS Phantom Stock Award shall remain subject to the same terms and conditions as applicable to the OS Phantom Stock Award prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Each OS Phantom Stock Award, that is outstanding and held by a Civeo Group Employee or Former Civeo Group Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Civeo Employee Phantom Stock Award”) shall, upon the Effective Time, be converted into a cash-settled phantom stock award with respect to a number of shares of Civeo Common Stock equal to the Civeo Share Number (a “Civeo Phantom Stock Award”).

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including the treatment of supplemental and deferred compensation plans, outstanding long-term incentive awards and annual incentive awards as described herein), Oil States and Civeo agree to negotiate in good faith regarding the need for any treatment different from that otherwise provided herein to ensure that (i) a federal income tax deduction for the payment of such supplemental or deferred compensation or long-term incentive award, annual incentive award or other compensation is, to the extent prescribed under the terms of the applicable plan and award agreement, not limited by reason of Section 162(m) of the Code, and (ii) the treatment of such supplemental or deferred compensation or long-term incentive award, annual incentive award or other compensation does not cause the imposition of a penalty tax under Section 409A of the Code.

Section 4.7 Liabilities for Settlement of Awards.

Civeo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such registration statement to be kept effective (and the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses required thereby to be maintained) as long as any Civeo RSAs, Civeo Options, Civeo DSAs and Civeo PSUs remain outstanding.

Section 4.9 Tax Reporting and Withholding for Equity-Based Awards. Oil States (or one of its Subsidiaries) will be responsible for all income, payroll, or other tax reporting related to income of OS Group Employees, Former OS Group Employees or Former Civeo Group Employees from equity-based awards outstanding under the OS Equity Plans, and Civeo (or one of its Subsidiaries) will be responsible for all income, payroll, or other tax reporting related to income of Civeo Group Employees from equity-based awards outstanding under the Civeo New Equity Plan.

Furthermore, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Distribution Date, Oil States and Civeo (each acting directly or through their respective Affiliates) shall, to the extent necessary, file IRS Form 5310-A regarding the transfer of Assets and Liabilities from the OS 401(k) Plan to the Civeo 401(k) Plan as discussed in this Article VI.

Article VII
Nonqualified DEFERRED Compensation Plans

Section 7.1 Establishment of Civeo Deferred Compensation Plan. As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date and in no event later than December 31, 2014, Civeo shall, or shall cause another Civeo Entity to, establish and adopt a deferred compensation plan for its key employees and directors (the “Civeo Deferred Compensation Plan”) to provide each Civeo Group Employee, Civeo Director or Former Civeo Group Employee who was a participant in the OS Deferred Compensation Plan as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Civeo Deferred Compensation Beneficiaries”) benefits following the establishment of such Civeo Deferred Compensation Plan which are substantially similar to those available to such person under the OS Deferred Compensation Plan as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, the Civeo Group Employees, Civeo Directors and Former Civeo Group Employees shall cease to actively participate in the OS Deferred Compensation Plan and shall not be entitled to defer additional amounts or receive additional benefits (other than earnings on amounts already-deferred) pursuant to the OS Deferred Compensation Plan. The Parties agree that, for purposes of the OS Deferred Compensation Plan, the employment of a Civeo Deferred Compensation Beneficiary shall not be considered to have terminated (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such Civeo Deferred Compensation Beneficiary shall not be deemed to have incurred a “separation from service”) as a result of the Distribution or the transfer of employment from Oil States (or an OS Entity) to Civeo (or a Civeo Entity), and such employment shall only be considered to terminate for purposes of the Civeo Deferred Compensation Plan when the employment of such Civeo Deferred Compensation Beneficiary with the Civeo Group terminates in accordance with the terms of the Civeo Deferred Compensation Plans and applicable Laws.

Section 7.2 Transfer of Liability and Responsibility. As soon as practicable and not later than 30 days following the date upon which the Civeo Deferred Compensation Plan is established, Civeo or a member of the Civeo Group shall assume all of the Liabilities and obligations in respect of Civeo Deferred Compensation Beneficiaries under the OS Deferred Compensation Plan (the date of such assumption, the “Deferred Compensation Transfer Date”). From and after the Deferred Compensation Transfer Date, Civeo or a member of the Civeo Group shall have sole responsibility for the administration of the Civeo Deferred Compensation Plan and the payment of benefits thereunder to or on behalf of Civeo Deferred Compensation Beneficiaries, and no member of the OS Group shall have any Liability or responsibility therefor. Oil States shall have sole responsibility for the administration of the OS Deferred Compensation Plan and the payment of benefits thereunder to or on behalf of OS Group Employees and Former OS Group Employees, and no member of the Civeo Group shall have any liability or responsibility therefor. During the period commencing on the Distribution Date and ending on the Deferred Compensation Transfer Date, deferred compensation amounts attributable to amounts deferred by Civeo Deferred Compensation Beneficiaries prior to the Effective Time shall remain under the OS Deferred Compensation Plan and Oil States shall be primarily responsible for the payment of all such benefits thereunder to Civeo Deferred Compensation Beneficiaries; provided, however that in the event that OS or a member of the OS Group incurs any such Liabilities, Civeo or a member of the Civeo Group shall indemnify and hold harmless OS and the OS Group for all such Liabilities and provided, further that in the event that there is a payment of benefits pursuant to the OS Deferred Compensation Plan to a Civeo Deferred Compensation Beneficiary, such Liabilities shall be reduced by the portion of the Assets held in the OS Grantor Trust attributable to such OS Deferred Compensation Beneficiary’s benefit (as reasonably determined by Oil States). The Parties acknowledge the complexity of the implementation of the transfers of Assets and Liabilities described in this Article VII and agree to cooperate in good faith to implement the assignment to, and assumption by, the Civeo Group of the Assets and Liabilities relating to the OS Deferred Compensation Plan as set forth herein. In the event the Parties mutually agree that an alternative procedure for implementing this Article VII is appropriate and consistent with the principles set forth in this Article VII, such alternative procedure shall be followed.

Section 7.3 Continuation of Deferral Elections. As of the Distribution Date, Civeo (acting directly or through members of the Civeo Group) shall, or shall cause the appropriate member of the Civero Group to, assume and recognize (or continue to recognize) all current deferral elections applicable to Civeo Deferred Compensation Beneficiaries, with all such amounts deferred thereunder during the period from and after the Distribution Date treated as having been deferred pursuant to the Civeo Deferred Compensation Plan.

Section 7.4 Grantor Trusts. Prior to the Deferred Compensation Transfer Date, Civeo shall, or shall cause a member of the Civeo Group to, adopt a grantor trust in a form that is substantially comparable to the OS Grantor Trust as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Civeo Grantor Trust”). Subject to obtaining any required consents, in connection with the assumption of the Liabilities under the OS Deferred Compensation Plan in respect of Civeo Deferred Compensation Beneficiaries, Oil States shall (or shall cause a member of the OS Group to), on the Deferred Compensation Transfer Date, transfer Assets to the Civeo Grantor Trust in an amount equal to the funded percentage of such Liabilities (as reasonably determined by Oil States) as of the Effective Time less any Assets used to fund benefits payable to Civeo Deferred Compensation Beneficiaries during the period commencing on the Distribution Date and ending on the Deferred Compensation Transfer Date. Oil States and Civeo agree to cooperate in good faith to obtain any consents required to effectuate the transfer of Assets set forth in this Section 7.4.

Section 7.5 Section 409A. The Parties agree in good faith to discharge their respective obligations pursuant to this Article VII in a manner that is consistent with the terms of the OS Deferred Compensation Plan and applicable Laws (including Section 409A of the Code). In the event the Parties determine that the actions described in this Article VII may result in a Civeo Deferred Compensation Beneficiary becoming subject to additional taxes pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, the Parties agree to cooperate in good faith to modify the procedures described in this Article VII to prevent such Civeo Deferred Compensation Beneficiary from becoming subject to such additional tax.

Article VIII
Welfare Plans

Section 8.1 Establishment of Civeo Welfare Plans. On or prior to the Effective Time, Civeo shall, or shall cause another Civeo Entity to, establish and adopt Civeo Welfare Plans which will provide welfare benefits to each Civeo Group Employee and Former Civeo Group Employee and who is, as of the Effective Time a participant in any of the OS Welfare Plans (and their eligible spouses and dependents, as the case may be) (collectively, the “Civeo Welfare Plan Participants”) under terms and conditions that are substantially similar to the OS Welfare Plans. Coverage and benefits under the Civeo Welfare Plans shall then be provided to the Civeo Welfare Plan Participants on an uninterrupted basis under the newly established Civeo Welfare Plans which shall contain substantially the same terms and conditions as in effect under the corresponding OS Welfare Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time. Civeo Welfare Plan Participants shall cease to be eligible for coverage under the OS Welfare Plans at the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, Civeo Welfare Plan Participants shall not participate in any OS Welfare Plans after the time set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, and OS Group Employees and Former OS Group Employees shall not participate in any Civeo Welfare Plans at any time.

Section 8.2 Transitional Matters Under Civeo Welfare Plans.

(a) Liability for Claims Incurred. Oil States or a member of the OS Group shall be liable for all claims for benefits (other than short-term disability, medical and flexible spending accounts) by Civeo Welfare Plan Participants under the OS Welfare Plans arising out of occurrences on or prior to the Effective Time. Oil States or a member of the OS Group shall be liable for claims for short-term disability benefits by Civeo Welfare Plan Participants under OS Welfare Plans with respect to payments otherwise due on or prior to the Effective Time. Oil States or a member of the OS Group shall be liable for claims for medical benefits by Civeo Welfare Plan Participants under the OS Welfare Plans with respect to services and treatment rendered on or prior to the Effective Time. Civeo or a member of the Civeo Group shall be liable for all other Welfare Plan coverages for Civeo Welfare Plan Participants under the Civeo Welfare Plans for which Oil States or a member of the OS Group is not liable, as set forth above.

(b) Credit for Deductibles and Other Limits. With respect to each Civeo Welfare Plan Participant, each Civeo Welfare Plan will give credit for the plan year in which the Distribution Date occurs for any amount paid, number of services obtained or provider visits by such Civeo Welfare Plan Participant toward deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums, limits on number of services or visits, or other similar limitations to the extent such amounts are taken into account under the corresponding OS Welfare Plan. For purposes of any life-time maximum benefit limit payable to a Civeo Welfare Plan Participant under any Civeo Welfare Plan, the Civeo Welfare Plan will recognize any expenses paid or reimbursed by an OS Welfare Plan with respect to such participant prior to the Effective Time to the same extent such expense payments or reimbursements would be recognized in respect of an active plan participant under the applicable OS Welfare Plan.

(c) COBRA. At and after the Effective Time, Civeo shall assume all Liabilities and other obligations under COBRA (and shall provide any required covereage under the Civeo Welfare Plans) with respect to all Civeo Group Employees and Former Civeo Group Employees (and, in either case, their qualifying beneficiaries) who, as of the day prior to the Distribution Date, were covered under an OS Welfare Plan pursuant to COBRA or who have a COBRA qualifying event (as defined in Section 4980B of the Code) prior to the Distribution Date.

Section 8.3 Benefit Elections and Designations and Continuity of Benefits.

(a) Benefit Elections and Designations. As of the Distribution Date (or such other date provided for under Section 8.3(b)), Civeo shall cause each Civeo Welfare Plan to recognize and give effect to all elections and designations (including all coverage and contribution elections and beneficiary designations) made by each Civeo Welfare Plan Participant under, or with respect to, the corresponding OS Welfare Plan for the plan year in which the Distribution occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.3(a) will prohibit Civeo from soliciting or causing the solicitation of new election forms or beneficiary designations from Civeo Welfare Plan Participants to be effective under the Civeo Welfare Plan as of the Distribution Date or any time thereafter.

(b) Additional Details Regarding Flexible Spending Accounts. Pursuant to Section 8.1, (i) at or prior to the Effective Time, Civeo shall, or shall cause another Civeo Entity to, establish and adopt Civeo Welfare Plans which will provide health care flexible spending account and dependent care flexible spending account benefits to Civeo Welfare Plan Participants (each a “Civeo FSA”) and (ii) Civeo Welfare Plan Participants shall cease to be eligible to participate in the health care flexible spending account and dependent care flexible spending account plans of Oil States (each, an “OS FSA”). For purposes of claims incurred by Civeo Welfare Plan Participants under the OS FSAs and Civeo FSAs, respectively, claims incurred on or prior to the Distribution Date shall be the responsibility of Oil States under the OS FSAs and claims incurred after the Distribution Date shall be the responsibility of Civeo and the Civeo FSAs. In addition, no later than seventy five (75) days following the Distribution Date, Civeo shall provide a cash reimbursement payment to each Civeo Welfare Plan Participant equal to (i) the amount, if any, by which (x) the aggregate payroll deductions in respect of such Civeo Welfare Plan Participant under the OS FSAs for the year in which the Distribution Date occurs exceeds (y) the aggregate claims filed under the OS FSAs by such Civeo Welfare Plan Participant as of the date that is thirty (30) days following the Distribution Date, less (ii) all required tax withholding on such amount.

(c) Employer Non-elective Contributions. As of immediately after the Effective Time, Civeo shall cause any Civeo Welfare Plan that constitutes a “cafeteria plan” under Section 125 of the Code to recognize and give effect to all non-elective employer contributions credited toward coverage of a Civeo Welfare Plan Participant under the corresponding OS Welfare Plan that is a cafeteria plan under Section 125 of the Code for the applicable plan year.

(d) Waiver of Conditions or Restrictions. Unless prohibited by applicable Law or a Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Civeo Welfare Plans will waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions, service conditions, waiting period limitations or evidence of insurability requirements that would otherwise be applicable to the Civeo Welfare Plan Participant following the Effective Time to the extent that such participant had previously satisfied such limitation under the corresponding OS Welfare Plan.

Section 8.4 Insurance Contracts. To the extent any OS Welfare Plan is funded through the purchase of an insurance contract or is subject to any stop loss contract, Oil States and Civeo will cooperate and use their commercially reasonable efforts to replicate such insurance contracts for Civeo (except for desired design changes or to the extent changes are required under applicable state insurance Laws or filings by the respective insurers) and to maintain any pricing discounts or other preferential terms for both Oil States and Civeo for a reasonable term. Neither Party shall be liable for failure to obtain such insurance contracts, pricing discounts, or other preferential terms for the other Party. Each Party shall be responsible for any additional premiums, charges, or administrative fees that such Party may incur pursuant to this Section 8.4.

Section 8.5 Third-Party Vendors. Except as provided below, to the extent any OS Welfare Plan is administered by a third-party vendor, Oil States and Civeo will cooperate and use their commercially reasonable efforts to replicate any contract with such third-party vendor for Civeo and to maintain any pricing discounts or other preferential terms for both Oil States and Civeo for a reasonable term. Neither Party shall be liable for failure to obtain such pricing discounts or other preferential terms for the other Party. Each Party shall be responsible for any additional premiums, charges, or administrative fees that such Party may incur pursuant to this Section 8.5.

Article IX
Workers’ Compensation and Unemployment Compensation

Section 9.1 Civeo Workers’ and Unemployment Compensation. Effective as of the Effective Time, (a) the Civeo Entity employing each Civeo Group Employee shall have (and, to the extent it has not previously had such obligations, such Civeo Entity shall assume) the obligations for all claims and Liabilities relating to workers’ compensation and unemployment compensation benefits for all Civeo Group Employees employed by that Civeo Entity and (b) Civeo shall cause a member of the Civeo Group to assume all obligations for all claims and Liabilities relating to workers’ compensation and unemployment compensation benefits for all Former Civeo Group Employees. Effective as of the Effective Time, Civeo, acting through the Civeo Entity employing each Civeo Group Employee, will be responsible for (a) obtaining workers’ compensation insurance, including providing all collateral required by the insurance carriers and providing all notices to Civeo Group Employees required by applicable workers’ compensation Laws and (b) establishing new or transferred unemployment insurance employer accounts, policies and claims handling contracts with the applicable government agencies. To the extent that such unemployment insurance coverage cannot be either assigned to or obtained by Civeo or a Civeo Entity, in respect of unemployment claims and Liabilities otherwise to be assumed by Civeo or a Civeo Entity pursuant to this Section 9.1, Oil States shall remain primarily liable for such claims and Liabilities, but Civeo shall indemnify and hold harmless Oil States for any such claims and Liabilities. If the preceding sentence applies, then at one or more mutually agreed upon dates, Oil States shall determine in good faith the present value of such claims and Liabilities and Civeo shall reimburse Oil States for that amount.

Section 9.2 Assignment of Contribution Rights. Oil States will transfer and assign (or cause another member of the OS Group to transfer and assign) to a member of the Civeo Group all rights to seek contribution or damages from any applicable third party (such as a third party who aggravates an injury to a worker who makes a workers’ compensation claim) with respect to any workers’ compensation claim for which Civeo is responsible for pursuant to this Article IX.

Section 9.3 Collateral. On and after the Distribution Date, Civeo (acting directly or through a member of the Civeo Group) shall be responsible for providing all collateral required by insurance carriers in connection with workers’ compensation claims for which Liability is allocated to the Civeo Group under this Article IX.

Section 9.4 Cooperation. Civeo and Oil States shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance costs are not adversely affected for either of them by reason of the Distribution.

Article X

Section 10.1 Establishment of Civeo Severance Program. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, Civeo shall, or shall cause another Civeo Entity to, establish and adopt a change in control severance program (or, in the discretion of Civeo, individual arrangements) which provides for each Civeo Group Employee who was a participant in the OS CIC Severance Plan as of immediately prior to the Effective Time to receive severance benefits following the Effective Time at such levels and subject to such terms as the board of directors of Civeo determines in its reasonable discretion. As of the Effective Time, the Civeo Group Employees shall no longer participate in the OS CIC Severance Plan.

Section 10.2 Liability for Severance. As of the Effective Time, Oil States shall have no Liability or obligation under any OS Group severance plan (including, without limitation, the OS CIC Severance Plan) or policy with respect to Civeo Group Employees or Former Civeo Group Employees.

Civeo will continue to apply the appropriate leave of absence policies applicable to inactive Civeo Group Employees who are on an approved leave of absence as of the Effective Time. Leaves of absence taken by Civeo Group Employees prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to have been taken as employees of a member of the Civeo Group.

Section 11.4 Collective Bargaining Agreements. The OS Group shall have no further Liability for or under any collective bargaining agreements, collective agreements, multiemployer plans, pension and welfare plans and arrangements, labor union, trade union or works council agreements entered into with any member of the OS Group, any union, works council or representative (if any) of any Civeo Group Employee and such agreements, plans, and arrangements shall, to the extent permitted under applicable Law and their respective terms, be assigned from the applicable OS Entity to Civeo (or a Civeo Entity designated by Civeo) effective as of the Effective Time and Civeo shall cooperate in submitting and completing any required successor employer application, or similar application or notice, in order to effectuate any such assignment.

Section 11.5 Restrictive Covenants in Employment and Other Agreements. To the fullest extent permitted by the agreements described in this Section 11.5 and applicable Law, Oil States shall assign, or cause an applicable member of the OS Group to assign (including through notification to employees, as applicable), to Civeo or a member of the Civeo Group, as designated by Civeo, all agreements containing restrictive covenants (including confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation provisions) between a member of the OS Group and a Civeo Group Employee, with such assignment to be effective as of the Effective Time. To the extent that assignment of such agreements is not permitted, effective as of the Effective Time, each member of the Civeo Group shall be considered to be a successor to each member of the OS Group for purposes of, and a third-party beneficiary with respect to, all agreements containing restrictive covenants (including confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation provisions) between a member of the OS Group and a Civeo Group Employee, such that each member of the Civeo Group shall enjoy all the rights and benefits under such agreements (including rights and benefits as a third-party beneficiary), with respect to the business operations of the Civeo Group; provided, however, that in no event shall Oil States be permitted to enforce such restrictive covenant agreements against Civeo Group Employees for action taken in their capacity as employees of a member of the Civeo Group.

Clause (c) of the preceding sentence to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent that any such legal action is brought by an OS Group Employee or Former OS Group Employee and relates to employment or the provision of services with respect to both the business activities of a member of the Civeo Group and the business activities of a member of the OS Group (excluding the Civeo Group), reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in responding to such legal action shall be allocated among the Parties based upon the relative levels of service provided between the Civeo Business and the businesses of the OS Group other than the Civeo Business. Further notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any legal action relates to a putative or certified class of plaintiffs, which includes both OS Group Employees (or Former OS Group Employees) and Civeo Group Employees (or Former Civeo Group Employees) and such action involves employment or benefit plan related claims, reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in responding to such legal action shall be allocated among the Parties equitably in proportion to a reasonable assessment of the relative proportion of Employees included in or represented by the putative or certified plaintiff class.

Each Party shall be responsible for taking such actions as are deemed necessary and appropriate to comply with its own fiduciary responsibilities and shall fully release and indemnify the other Party for any Liabilities caused by the failure to satisfy any such responsibility.

Section 13.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the documents referenced herein (including the Separation Agreement, the Transfer Documents and the plans and agreements referenced herein), constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior written and oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements and understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any conflicts between the provisions of this Agreement and the Separation Agreement or any Transfer Document shall be addressed in the manner set forth in Sections 5.6 and 5.7 of the Separation Agreement.

Section 13.8 Binding Effect; No Third-Party Beneficiaries; Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and should not be deemed to confer upon any third parties any remedy, claim, Liability, reimbursement, cause of action, or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to amend any employee benefit plan or affect the applicable plan sponsor’s right to amend or terminate any employee benefit plan pursuant to the terms of such plan. The provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Parties, and no current or former Employee, officer, director, or independent contractor or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party to be bound thereby. No failure or delay on the part of any Party in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement contained herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercises thereof or of any other right.

Section 13.12 Counterparts. This Agreement, including the Schedules hereto and the other documents referred to herein, may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 13.13 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement or the Schedules attached hereto is determined by a non-appealable decision by a court, administrative agency, or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the court, administrative agency, or arbitrator shall interpret this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible. If any sentence in this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

Section 13.14 Governing Law. This Agreement (and any claims or disputes arising out of or related hereto or thereto or to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or to the inducement of any party to enter herein and therein, whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct, or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, or otherwise) shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware irrespective of the choice of laws principles of the State of Delaware, including all matters of validity, construction, effect, enforceability, performance, and remedies.

Section 13.15 Dispute Resolution. The procedures set forth in Article IV of the Indemnification and Release Agreement shall apply to any dispute, controversy or claim (whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise) that arises out of or relates to this Agreement, any breach or alleged breach hereof, the transactions contemplated hereby (including all actions taken in furtherance of the transactions contemplated hereby on or prior to the date hereof), or the construction, interpretation, enforceability, or validity hereof.

Section 13.16 Performance.
