WHEREAS, Oil States and Civeo have entered into the Separation and Distribution Agreement dated , 2014 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”) in connection with the separation of the Civeo Business from Oil States (the “Separation”) and the distribution of Civeo Common Stock to stockholders of Oil States (the “Distribution”);

WHEREAS, the Separation and Distribution Agreement also provides for the execution and delivery of certain other agreements, including this Agreement, in order to facilitate and provide for the separation of Civeo and its Subsidiaries from Oil States; and

WHEREAS, in order to ensure an orderly transition under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Parties agree that it will be advisable for the Oil States Group to provide to the Civeo Group certain information technology services described herein for a transitional period.

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 are acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows:

Article I
Services

1.01 Provision of Services.

(a) Oil States agrees to provide, or to cause its Affiliates to provide, the services (the “Services”) set forth on the exhibits attached hereto (as such exhibits may be amended or supplemented pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, collectively, the “Service Exhibits”) to Civeo for the respective periods and on the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the respective Service Exhibits.

(b) The parties hereto acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services. Accordingly, as promptly as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, Civeo agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to make a transition of each Service to its own internal organization or to obtain alternate third-party sources to provide the Services.

(c) Subject to Section 2.03 and Section 2.04 and the obligations of Oil States under this Agreement to provide Services shall terminate with respect to each Service on the end date specified in the applicable Service Exhibit (the “End Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that Civeo may determine from time to time that it does not require all the Services set out on one or more of the Service Exhibits or that it does not require such Services for the entire period up to the applicable End Date. Accordingly, Civeo may terminate any Service, in whole or in part, upon notification to Oil States in writing of any such determination. Upon termination of a Service, there shall be no liability on the part of either party with respect to that Service, other than that such termination shall not (i) relieve either party of any liabilities resulting from any pre-termination breach hereof by such party in the performance of such terminated Service, (ii) relieve either party of any payment obligation with respect to such Service arising prior to the date of such termination or (iii) affect any rights arising as a result of any such breach or termination.

1.02 Standard of Service.

(a) Oil States shall furnish the Services in accordance with applicable Law and, except as specifically provided in the Service Exhibits, (i) in the same or a similar manner as such Services were provided to Civeo with respect to the Civeo Business preceding the date hereof and (ii) in good faith and with reasonable care, using substantially the same degree of skill and attention that Oil States uses in performing the same or similar services for itself and its Affiliates, and not, in any event, exercising less than a commercially reasonable degree of care. Subject to Section 1.03, Oil States agrees to assign sufficient resources and qualified personnel as are reasonably required to perform the Services in accordance with the standards set forth in the preceding sentence.

(b) Oil States shall use reasonable best efforts to provide or cause to be provided the Services to Civeo in amounts up to the amount necessary for Civeo to operate the Civeo Business at the capacity at which Civeo operated prior to the date of this Agreement.

(c) Except as set forth in this Agreement (including any such Service Exhibit) or in any contract entered into hereunder, Oil States makes no representations and warranties of any kind, implied or expressed, with respect to the Services, including, without limitation, no warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, which are specifically disclaimed. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement does not create a fiduciary relationship, partnership, joint venture or relationships of trust or agency between the parties and that all Services are provided by Oil States or its Affiliate as an independent contractor.

1.03 Third-Party Service Providers. It is understood and agreed that Oil States has been retaining, and will continue to retain, third-party service providers to provide some of the Services to Civeo. In addition, Oil States shall have the right to hire other third-party subcontractors to provide part of any Service hereunder; provided, however, that in the event such subcontracting is inconsistent with past practices, the Seller shall obtain the prior written consent of Civeo to hire such subcontractor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Oil States shall in all cases retain responsibility and remain liable for the provision of Services to Civeo by any third party or by any of Oil States’ Affiliates. Without the prior written consent of Civeo, Oil States shall not enter into any new agreement or contract with any third party to provide any Services hereunder pursuant to which Civeo or any of its Affiliates would remain liable following the date of termination of such Service hereunder.

1.04 Access to Premises.

(a) In order to enable the provision of the Services by Oil States, Civeo agrees to provide to Oil States’ and its Affiliates’ employees and any third-party service providers or subcontractors who provide Services, at no cost to Oil States, access to the facilities, assets and books and records of Civeo, in all cases to the extent necessary for Oil States to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Oil States agrees that all of its and its Affiliates’ employees and any third-party service providers and subcontractors, when on the property of Civeo or when given access to any equipment, computer, software, network or files owned or controlled by Civeo, shall conform to the policies and procedures of Civeo concerning health, safety and security as in effect on the date of this Agreement, and as modified hereafter if made known to Oil States in advance in writing.

Article II
Compensation

2.01 Responsibility for Wages and Fees. For such time as any employees of Oil States or any of its Affiliates are providing the Services to Civeo under this Agreement, (a) such employees will remain employees of Oil States or such Affiliate, as applicable, and shall not be deemed to be employees of Civeo for any purpose, and shall remain subject to the sole control, direction and supervision of Oil States or Affiliate, as applicable, and (b) Oil States or such Affiliate, as applicable, shall be solely responsible for the payment and provision of all wages, bonuses and commissions, employee benefits, including severance and worker’s compensation, and the withholding and payment of applicable Taxes relating to such employment.

2.02 Terms of Payment and Related Matters.

(ii) Payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be made within 30 days after the date of receipt of an Invoice by Civeo from Oil States.

2.03 Extension of Services. If Civeo requests in a notice to Oil States that any of the Services be performed following the applicable End Date, then Oil States shall be obligated to perform such Services for a period of one month (or such shorter period as is requested by Civeo) following the End Date, and the applicable fee for such Services provided after the End Date shall be an amount equal to the fee for such Services set out in the relevant Service Exhibits. Except as required by the immediately preceding sentence, the parties agree that Oil States shall not be obligated to perform any of the Service after the applicable End Date; provided, however, that if Civeo desires and Oil States agrees to continue to perform any of the Services after the applicable End Date, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree to the terms of such extension, including the amount Civeo shall pay Oil States for such continued Services, provided further, however, that Oil States shall be under no obligation whatsoever to perform any of the Services after the End Date. Services performed by Oil States after the applicable End Date in accordance with this Section 2.03 shall continue to constitute Services under this Agreement and be subject in all respects to the provisions of this Agreement for the duration of the agreed-upon extension period.

2.04 Terminated Services. Upon termination or expiration of any or all Services pursuant to this Agreement, or upon the termination of this Agreement in its entirety, Oil States and its Affiliates shall have no further obligation to provide the applicable terminated Services.

Oil States shall continue performing the Services in accordance with this Agreement pending resolution of any dispute.

2.06 No Right of Setoff. Each of the parties hereby acknowledges that it shall have no right under this Agreement to offset any amounts owed (or to become due and owing) to the other party, whether under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise, against any other amount owed (or to become due and owing) to it by the other party.

3.01 Termination of Agreement. Subject to Section 3.04, this Agreement shall terminate in its entirety (i) on the date upon which Oil States or its Affiliates shall have no continuing obligation to perform any Services as a result of each of their expiration or termination in accordance with Section 1.01(c) or Section 3.02 or (ii) in accordance with Section 3.03.

3.02 Breach.

In the event the Disclosing Party cannot obtain a protective order for all or part of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed by applicable Law, the Receiving Party shall only disclose such Confidential Information that it is advised by its counsel in writing that it is legally bound to disclose under such applicable Law.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Confidential Information” shall not include any information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate: (i) was publicly known at the time of disclosure to it, or has become publicly known through no act of the Receiving Party or its Representatives in breach of this Section ; (ii) was rightfully received from a third party without a duty of confidentiality; or (iii) was developed by it independently without any reliance on the Confidential Information.

(c) Upon demand by the Disclosing Party at any time, or upon expiration or termination of this Agreement with respect to any Service, the Receiving Party agrees promptly to return or destroy, at the Disclosing Party’s option, all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession or control. If such Confidential Information is destroyed, an authorized officer of the Receiving Party shall certify to such destruction in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party shall not be required to destroy copies of the Confidential Information which may be electronically archived in connection with its automatic backup storage and/or document retention policies; provided, however, that all such material shall remain subject to the confidentiality obligations in this Agreement.
