The Individual acknowledges and agrees that he has fully complied with such Continuing Obligations at all times before he signs this Agreement and that he intends to, and shall, fully comply with such Continuing Obligations after he signs this Agreement.

3.Final Pay and Benefits. In full accordance with Section 6(a) of the Employment Agreement, the Individual shall receive the following payments and benefits in accordance with the existing policies of the Company, or at the sole discretion of the Company, pursuant to his employment with the Company and his participation in its employee benefit plans:

a.Final Pay and Prorated Bonus. The Individual shall be entitled to payment equal to (i) his regular Base Salary (as defined in the Employment Agreement) through the Separation Date, plus (ii) pay for his accrued unused paid time off as of the Separation Date. These payments are subject to applicable taxes and withholdings and shall be delivered to the Individual on or before six days following the Separation Date. Other than as provided in the previous sentence and in paragraph 4 below, the Individual shall not receive any commissions, bonuses, or other forms or remuneration or compensation in connection with his employment with the Company or any other arrangement with the Company or its affiliates after the Separation Date.

b.Vested under 401(k) Plan and Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. Following the Separation Date, the Individual shall receive distribution of his vested benefits, if any, under the Basic Energy Services 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) in accordance with the terms of the 401(k) Plan or as otherwise required by applicable law. Following the Separation Date, the Individual shall also receive distribution of his vested benefits under the Basic Energy Services, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “EDC Plan”) in accordance with the terms of the EDC Plan or as otherwise required by applicable law.

c. Right to Continue Certain Insurance Benefits. The Individual shall have the right to continue after the Separation Date his group health, dental, and vision insurance benefits, if any, for himself and his dependents, at his own expense in accordance with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”). The Individual should complete an insurance continuation election form, which will be furnished to him under separate cover, and timely return it if he wishes to apply to continue his insurance coverage under COBRA.

d. Reimbursement of Business Expenses. The Individual shall be entitled to receive reimbursement of reasonable business expenses properly incurred by him in accordance with Company policy before the Separation Date. Any such reimbursement must be based on substantiating documentation provided by the Individual within 30 days after the Separation Date. Payment of any such reimbursement shall be made within 30 days of the Individual submitting the substantiating documentation.

e. Settlement in Full of Incentive Awards. As of the Separation Date, the Company had granted the following outstanding incentive awards (the “Incentive Awards”) to the Individual pursuant to the Company’s 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”):

The Individual acknowledges his prior receipt of shares of stock and cash in full satisfaction of the vested portion of the RSA and TPSA, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreements (as defined below), the unvested portion of the Incentive Awards as of the Separation Date shall be forfeited immediately, automatically, and without consideration upon the Separation Date. By signing below, the Individual also acknowledges and agrees that he has no rights in any equity or equity-related interests in the Company or its affiliates other than any stock of the Company owned by the Individual as of the Separation Date either in his capacity as an investor of the Company or as a result of such stock being granted by the Company to him in connection with his employment and vested as of the Separation Date. Finally, the parties acknowledge and agree that all of their post-termination rights and obligations which continue by their terms pursuant to the award agreements entered into between the Individual and the Company with respect to the Incentive Awards (the “Award Agreements”) shall constitute part of the Continuing Obligations for purposes of this Agreement and therefore shall continue

in full force and effect according to their terms notwithstanding the termination of the Individual’s employment with the Company, the termination of the Employment Agreement, or the execution of this Agreement.

4.Severance Benefits. Conditioned on the Individual’s timely execution, return, and non-revocation of this Agreement, the Company shall provide the Individual with the severance benefits described in this paragraph (the “Severance Benefits”): As long as the Individual fully complies with the otherwise applicable Continuing Obligations and does not directly or indirectly utilize such services to circumvent such otherwise applicable Continuing Obligations, the Company agrees to waive any right it may have to assert that the Individual’s employment by, or services to, ProPetro Services, Inc. or its affiliate following the Separation Date violates the non-compete obligations in Section 16 (Non-Competition Restrictions) of the Employment Agreement or any non-competition obligations under the Award Agreements. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the parties acknowledge and agree that all non-solicitation obligations under the Award Agreements shall remain in full force and effect and be included within the Continuing Obligations for purposes of this Agreement.

5.Return of Property and Information. On or before the Separation Date, the Individual shall promptly return to the Company or the other Released Parties (as defined below) any and all items of its or their property, including without limitation keys, all copies of information protected by the Employment Agreement, badge/access card, computers, software, cellular telephones, iPhones, blackberries, other personal digital assistants, equipment, credit cards, forms, files, manuals, correspondence, business records, personnel data, lists of employees, salary and benefits information, customer files, lists of suppliers and vendors, price lists, contracts, contract information, marketing plans, brochures, catalogs, training materials, computer tapes and diskettes or other portable media, computer-readable files and data stored on any hard drive or other installed device, and data processing reports, and any and all other documents or property which he has had possession of or control over during his employment with the Company or its affiliates. By signing below, the Individual hereby consents to permitting the Company or its designee to remove (either directly or via remote wiping) all Confidential Information (as defined in the Employment Agreement) and other property belonging to the Company and its affiliates from any electronic device owned or controlled by him. The Individual’s obligations under this paragraph supplement, rather than supplant, the Continuing Obligations and his obligations under the common law. The Individual’s obligations under this paragraph shall not apply to, and the Individual may retain copies of, personnel, benefit, or payroll documents concerning only him.

The Individual, on behalf of himself and his spouse (if any), other family members, heirs, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), hereby voluntarily, completely, and unconditionally to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law releases, acquits, waives, and forever discharges any and all claims, demands, liabilities, and causes of action of whatever kind or character, whether known, unknown, vicarious, derivative, direct, or indirect (individually a “Claim” and collectively the “Claims”), that he or they, individually, collectively, or otherwise, may have or assert against the Released Parties (as defined below) as of the date the Individual signs this Agreement.

The Individual further represents and warrants that he has not informed the Company or any of the other Released Parties of, and that he is unaware of, any alleged violations of the Company’s standards of business conduct or personnel policies, of the Company’s integrity or ethics policies, or other misconduct by the Company or any of the other Released Parties, that have not been resolved satisfactorily by the Company or the other Released Parties.

10.Remedies; After-Acquired Evidence.

a.Remedies. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Company’s obligation to provide the Severance Benefits to the Individual is subject to the condition that he materially complies with his obligations under this Agreement and the Continuing Obligations. The Company shall have the right to rescind the waiver it provided as part of the Severance Benefits if the Company determines in its sole discretion that the Individual has materially breached any such obligations but all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

a.After-Acquired Evidence. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, if the Company provides the Severance Benefits to the Individual but subsequently acquires evidence and determines in its sole discretion that (i) he has materially breached any of his obligations under this Agreement or the Continuing Obligations; or (ii) a condition existed prior to payment of the Severance Benefits that, had the Company been fully aware of such condition, would have given the Company the right to terminate his employment for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) before such payment, then the Company shall have the right to rescind the waiver it provided as part of the Severance Benefits but all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

a.Non-Exclusive Rights and Remedies. The Company’s rights and remedies under this paragraph shall be in addition to any other available rights and remedies should the Individual breach any applicable obligations as well as rights and remedies available under the Company’s clawback policies or procedures which may provide for forfeiture and/or recoupment of amounts paid or payable under this Agreement.

11.Non-Use and Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. The Individual shall fully comply with his confidentiality and non-disclosure duties included within the Continuing Obligations and shall treat this Agreement as confidential information for purposes of the protections under the Employment Agreement.

12.Insider-Trading Obligations. The Individual acknowledges and agrees that he remains subject to the insider-trading policies and procedures of the Company and its affiliates through the Separation Date and, as such, may not during such period trade in their securities in accordance therewith until any material, nonpublic information he possesses has become public or is no longer material.

14.Jury Trial Waiver. THE INDIVIDUAL HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM AGAINST THE COMPANY OR ANY OF THE OTHER RELEASED PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FOR BREACH OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

15.Authority to Execute. The Individual represents and warrants that he has the authority to execute this Agreement on behalf of all the Releasing Parties.

16.Governing Law; Venue; Severability; Interpretation. This Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties under it shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to any conflict-of-laws principles. Exclusive venue for any Claim between the parties or their affiliates arising out of or related this Agreement is in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction that regularly conducts proceedings in Tarrant County, Texas. Nothing in this Agreement, however, precludes either party from seeking to remove a civil action from any state court to federal court. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable. If any one or more provisions of this Agreement may be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, such provision shall be considered separate, distinct, and severable from the other remaining provisions of this Agreement, such a determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such other remaining provisions, and in all other respects the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be binding and enforceable and remain in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable as written by a court of competent jurisdiction but may be made to be enforceable by limitation, then such provision shall be enforceable to the maximum limit permitted by applicable law. The language of all parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against any of the parties.

17.Assignment. The Individual’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement are personal to him and shall not be assigned to any person or entity without written permission from the Company. The Company may assign this Agreement without the Individual’s further consent. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns.

18.Expiration Date. The Company’s offer of this Agreement shall expire after a period of 21 days after the date the Individual first received this Agreement for consideration (the “Expiration Date”). Changes to this Agreement, whether material or immaterial, do not restart the running of the consideration period. The Individual may accept the offer at any time before the Expiration Date by signing this Agreement in the space provided below and returning it to the attention of Company’s Vice President, Human Resources so that the signed Agreement is received no later than the close of business on the Expiration Date.

19.Limited Revocation Right; Effect of Revocation. After signing this Agreement, the Individual shall have a period of seven days to reconsider and revoke his acceptance of this Agreement if he wishes (the “Revocation Period”). If the Individual chooses to revoke his acceptance of this Agreement, he must do so by providing written notice to the Company’s Vice President, Human Resources before the eighth day after signing this Agreement, in which case this Agreement shall not become effective or enforceable and the Individual shall not receive the Severance Benefits.

20.Effective Date. This Agreement shall become effective and enforceable upon the expiration of seven days after the Individual signs it (the “Effective Date”), provided that he signs the Agreement on or before the Expiration Date and does not revoke his acceptance of the Agreement during the Revocation Period.

21.Knowing and Voluntary Agreement. The Individual acknowledges that (a) he has been advised by this paragraph of his right to consult with an attorney of his choice before signing this Agreement; (b) he has had a reasonable period in which to consider whether to sign this Agreement; (c) he fully understands the meaning and effect of signing this Agreement; and (d) his signing of this Agreement is knowing and voluntary.

22.Independent Consideration; Common-Law Duties. Whether or not expressly stated in this Agreement, all obligations and undertakings the Individual makes and assumes in this Agreement in consideration of the mutual promises and undertakings in this Agreement and the Severance Benefits. In addition, the Individual acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor any of the other Released Parties has any legal obligation to provide the Severance Benefits to him outside of this Agreement.

23.Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Employment Agreement, the LTIP, and the Award Agreements contain and represent the entire agreements of the parties with respect to their subject matters, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, written and oral, between the parties with respect to its subject matters. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed as relieving the Individual of complying with the Continuing Obligations. The Individual agrees that neither the Company nor any of the other Released Parties has made any promise or representation to him concerning this Agreement not expressed in this Agreement, and that, in signing this Agreement, he is not relying on any prior oral or written statement or representation by the Company or any of the other Released Parties outside of this Agreement but is instead relying solely on his own judgment and his attorney (if any).

24.Modification; Waiver. No provision of this Agreement shall be amended, modified, or waived unless such amendment, modification, or waiver is agreed to in writing and signed by the Individual and a duly authorized representative of the Company.

25.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement. The delivery of this Agreement in the form of a clearly legible facsimile or electronically scanned version by e-mail shall have the same force and effect as delivery of the originally executed document.

26.Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Released Parties besides the Company are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and therefore may enforce this Agreement.

27.Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. The payments and benefits provided under this Agreement are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code Section 409A”) and this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with that intent; provided, however, that no persons connected with this Agreement in any capacity, including but not limited to the Company and its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees, makes any representation, commitment or guarantee that any tax treatment, including but not limited to, federal, state and local income, estate and gift tax treatment, will be applicable with respect to any amounts payable under the Agreement or that such tax treatment will apply to the Individual.
