The initial designees of Riverstone shall be Ken Babcock and Brett Staffieri. The initial designees of the Schlumberger Parties shall be Simon Ayat and James McDonald. The Company agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (including with respect to any applicable fiduciary duties under Delaware law), that taking all Necessary Action to effectuate the above will include (A) any person designated pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board for election at any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, (B) nominating and recommending such individual to be elected as a director as provided herein, (C) soliciting proxies or consents in favor thereof, and (D) without limiting the foregoing, otherwise using its reasonable best efforts to cause such nominee to be elected to the Board, including providing at least as high a level of support for the election of such nominee as it provides to any other individual standing for election as a director.

(b) So long as the members of the Board are allocated among separate classes of directors, any director designated by Riverstone pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (each, a “Riverstone Director”) will be designated to the class as mutually agreed upon by Riverstone and the Company, and any director designated by the Schlumberger Parties pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (each, a “Schlumberger Director”) will be designated to the class as mutually agreed upon by the Schlumberger Parties and the Company; provided that, in all cases, the number of directors in each class shall be as nearly equal in number as is reasonably possible.

(c) So long as Riverstone is entitled to designate a nominee pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) or Section 2.1(a)(ii), Riverstone will have the right to remove such Riverstone Director (with or without cause), from time to time and at any time, from the Board, exercisable upon written notice to the Company, and the Company will take all Necessary Action to cause such removal.

(d) So long as the Schlumberger Parties are entitled to designate a nominee pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii) or Section 2.1(a)(iv), the Schlumberger Parties will have the right to remove any such Schlumberger Director (with or without cause), from time to time and at any time, from the Board, exercisable upon written notice to the Company, and the Company will take all Necessary Action to cause such removal.

(e) In the event that a vacancy is created on the Board at any time by the death, disability, resignation or removal of a Riverstone Director or a Schlumberger Director, then (i) Riverstone, with respect to a vacancy created by the death, disability, resignation or removal of a Riverstone Director, or (ii) the Schlumberger Parties, with respect to a vacancy created by the death, disability, resignation or removal of a Schlumberger Director, will be entitled to designate an individual who is reasonably acceptable to the Governance Committee and qualifies as an Independent Director, to fill the vacancy so long as the total number of persons that will serve on the Board as designees of Riverstone or the Schlumberger Parties, as applicable, immediately following the filling of such vacancy, will not exceed the total number of persons Riverstone or the Schlumberger Parties, as applicable, is entitled to designate pursuant to Section 2.1(a) on the date of such replacement designation. The Company, the Schlumberger Parties and Riverstone will take all Necessary Action to cause such replacement designee to become a member of the Board.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1, the Company, Riverstone and the Schlumberger Parties agree that, subject to continued approval of the Governance Committee of his qualifications as a director and Riverstone and its Affiliates collectively Beneficially Owning at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, Ken Babcock shall not be required to resign from the Board if Riverstone and its Affiliates collectively do not Beneficially Own at least the number of shares of Common Stock as such Persons owned immediately prior to the Closing.

2.2 Restrictions on Other Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights granted to Riverstone and the Schlumberger Parties to designate members of the Board are additive to, and not intended to limit in any way, the rights that Riverstone, the Schlumberger Parties or any of their respective Affiliates may have to nominate, elect or remove directors under the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or the Delaware General Corporation Law.
