Civeo Corporation
(Amended and Restated as of May 12, 2016)
Civeo Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Civeo US”), adopted the 2014 Equity Participation Plan of Civeo Corporation (the “Plan”), effective May 30, 2014 (the “Effective Date”). In connection with a corporate reorganization, the Plan was amended and restated on July 17, 2015 to reflect that Civeo Corporation, a limited company organized under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, and formerly known as Civeo Canadian Holdings ULC (the “Company”), assumed all the responsibilities of Civeo US under the Plan and will make all future grants of Awards under the Plan. The Plan was amended and restated effective May 12, 2016 to make certain design changes and to increase the number of shares reserved under the Plan.
The purposes of the Plan are as follows:
(1)To provide an additional incentive for Employees, Directors and consultants to further the growth, development and financial success of the Company by personally benefiting through the ownership of Company shares and/or rights which recognize such growth, development and financial success.
(2)To enable the Company to obtain and retain the services of Employees, Directors and consultants considered essential to the long range success of the Company by offering them an opportunity to own shares in the Company and/or rights which will reflect the growth, development and financial success of the Company.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
a.Not Transferable
. Except as provided below, Options, SARs, Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares, Performance Awards, Dividend Equivalents or Share Payments under the Plan may not be sold, pledged, assigned, or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a QDRO, unless and until such rights or awards have been exercised, or the shares underlying such rights or awards have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such shares have lapsed. No Option, SAR, Restricted Share, Deferred Share, Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent or Share Payment or interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Optionee, Grantee or Restricted Shareholder or his successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence. An Optionee may, with the consent of the Committee, transfer a Non-Qualified Option to such family members and persons as may be permitted by this Committee, subject to such restrictions and limitations, if any, that the Committee, in its discretion, may impose on such transfer.
During the lifetime of the Optionee or Grantee, only he may exercise an Option or other right or award (or any portion thereof) granted to him under the Plan unless it has been disposed of pursuant to a QDRO. After the death of the Optionee or Grantee, any exercisable portion of an Option or other right or award may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Option Agreement or other agreement, be exercised by his personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Optionee’s or Grantee’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.
b.Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan
. This Plan may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Board or the Committee. However, without approval of the Company’s shareholders given within twelve months before or after the action by the Committee, no action of the Committee may, except as provided in Section 9.3, increase the limits imposed in Section 2.1 on the maximum number of shares which may be issued under the Plan or reduce the exercise price of an Option or SAR, and no action of the Committee may be taken that would otherwise require shareholder approval as a matter of applicable law, regulation
16
or rule. No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the holder of Options, SARs, Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares, Performance Awards, Dividend Equivalents or Share Payments, materially alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Options, SARs, Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares, Performance Awards, Dividend Equivalents or Share Payments theretofore granted or awarded, unless the award itself otherwise expressly so provides. No Options, SARs, Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares, Performance Awards, Dividend Equivalents or Share Payments may be granted or awarded during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan, and in no event may any Incentive Option be granted under the Plan after the first to occur of the following events:

(1)the number and kind of Common Shares (or other securities or property) with respect to which Options, SARs, Performance Awards, Dividend Equivalents or Share Payments may be granted under the Plan, or which may be granted as Restricted Shares or Deferred Shares (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 2.1 on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued and adjustments of the award limits described in Section 2.1(b)),

(4)In its discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, the Committee may provide, either by the terms of such Option, SAR, Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent, or Share Payment, or Restricted Shares or Deferred Shares or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event, that upon such event, such option, right or award be assumed by the successor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;
(5)In its discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, the Committee may make adjustments in the number and type of Common Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Options, SARs, Performance Awards, Dividend Equivalents, or Share Payments, and in the number and kind of outstanding Restricted Shares or Deferred Shares and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding options, rights and awards and options, rights and awards which may be granted in the future;

(iii)If the Optionee or Grantee is identified by the Company as a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code on the date on which the Optionee or Grantee has a “separation from service” (other than due to death) within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h), any Award payable or settled on account of a separation from service that is deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be paid or settled on the earliest of (1) the first business day following the expiration of six months from the Optionee’s or Grantee’s separation from service, (2) the date of the Optionee’s or Grantee’s death, or (3) such earlier date as complies with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

21
Directors or consultants of the Company or any Subsidiary or (ii) to grant or assume options or other rights otherwise than under the Plan in connection with any proper corporate purpose including but not by way of limitation, the grant or assumption of options in connection with the acquisition by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of the business, stock or assets of any corporation, partnership, entity or association.
