LOAN AGREEMENT
This Loan Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated effective as of June 5, 2018 (the “Effective Date”) and is between HANA INVESTMENTS CO. WLL, a company existing under the laws of Bahrain (“Lender”) and NATIONAL ENERGY SERVICES REUNITED CORP., a corporation existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Borrower,” and together with Lender, the “Parties” and each, a “Party”).
1. The Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to loan to Borrower the amount of $50,000,000.00 in a single advance and in immediately available funds (including all renewals, extensions or modifications, the “Loan”) by 11 a.m. (Houston CST time) on [●], 2018 (the “Drawdown Date”), and Borrower unconditionally agrees to repay to Lender the principal amount of the Loan together with all unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts payable hereunder on or before December 17, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”). The period from the date that Lender funds the Loan through and including the Maturity Date is referred to herein as the “Loan Term.”
a. Prepayment.
(i) Borrower may prepay all or any portion of the principal outstanding together with all interest accrued thereon and unpaid at any time and from time to time, upon irrevocable notice delivered to Lender no later than 11 a.m. (Houston CST time), five Business Day prior thereto, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment; provided that, in addition to the amounts so prepaid, Borrower shall pay the Transaction Fee (as defined below) on such prepayment date. Any such prepayment(s) shall be made in cash or Conversion Shares (subject to the terms set forth in Section 2(b)), at the election of Lender, on such prepayment date(s) and shall be applied to the principal amount outstanding hereunder until paid in full, and then to interest.
(ii) In the event that Borrower shall make a public offering of its securities, Lender may elect in its sole discretion to require Borrower to prepay the Loan, and upon the giving of written notice thereof to Borrower, Borrower shall within one day, prepay in cash the full principal amount of the Loan then outstanding, together with any other amounts payable under this Agreement, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided that such prepayment shall not prohibit the right of Lender to participate in the purchase of Borrower’s securities made pursuant to such public offering.
b. Interest.
(i) Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan from the Drawdown Date until the Loan is paid in full in cash or upon Conversion pursuant to Section 2 hereof, at the higher of (A) an amount equal to $4,000,000 prorated based on the number of days outstanding between the Effective Date and the Maturity Date, and (B) at a rate per annum equal to One Month ICE LIBOR (as defined below), adjusted monthly on the first day of each calendar month, plus a margin of 2.25%. Interest shall be due and payable, at the election of Lender, in cash or Conversion Shares (subject to the terms set forth in Section 2(b)) on the Maturity Date or the Conversion Date, as applicable, or if the Loan is prepaid earlier, on such prepayment date. The term “One Month ICE LIBOR” shall mean the One Month London InterBank Offered Rate in U.S. Dollars as calculated and published by the Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration Ltd. (“ICE,” or the successor thereto if ICE is no longer making a London Interbank Offered Rate available) and in effect on the first day of each calendar month. The One Month ICE LIBOR shall be obtained by Lender from an intermediary rate reporting source such as Bloomberg, L.P. Interest at the One Month ICE LIBOR shall be computed on the basis of a calendar month (28, 29, 30 or 31 days, as the case may be), and shall accrue on the actual number of days any principal balance hereof is outstanding.

(ii) The Loan may be extended beyond the Maturity Date at the election of Lender and on terms to be agreed by the Parties. If the Maturity Date is not extended and the Loan is not repaid on the Maturity Date, any amounts required to be paid by Borrower hereunder (including principal, interest payable on the Loan pursuant to Section 1(b)(i), the Transaction Fee (to the extent the Transaction Fee has not been paid) and other amounts otherwise payable to Lender) remaining unpaid after such amounts are due (the “Overdue Amount”), shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to One Month ICE LIBOR, adjusted monthly on the first day of each calendar month, plus a margin of 2.25% and an additional 1% per annum from the Maturity Date until such Overdue Amount shall be paid in full. Such interest shall be payable in arrears on the date such Overdue Amount shall be paid in full and on demand and, at the election of Lender, shall be paid in cash or Conversion Shares.
2. Conversion of Debt to Equity.
a. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have the right and option at any time prior to the payment in full of the principal amount outstanding hereunder and the interest thereon, to exchange Borrower’s payment obligation as to the then-outstanding principal balance for the Conversion Shares (the “Conversion Option”) by delivering to Borrower (the “Conversion Deliverables”) (A) written notice of Lender’s election to exercise the Conversion Option, (B) a counterpart of this Agreement bearing the signatures of Lender and Borrower, marked “PAID” and initialed by Lender on the first page, (C) a counterpart of Lender’s acceptance of the Conversion Shares, bearing Lender’s signature and (D) evidence of compliance with applicable U.S. securities law and regulations, including any legend on the certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares as required. The date of delivery of the Conversion Deliverables for conversion of Borrower’s payment obligation of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan to the Conversion Shares in strict compliance with the terms of this Section 2 is referred to herein for all purposes as the “Conversion.” “Conversion Shares” means the number of shares of common stock of Borrower that, at $11.244 per share, constitutes a value equivalent to the principal amount outstanding hereunder plus all interest accrued thereon, as of the date of the Conversion (the “Conversion Date”). Borrower’s right to prepay the Loan shall terminate upon receipt of the Conversion Deliverables.
b. If at any time, and after giving effect to, Lender’s exercise of the Conversion Option, the ownership by Lender of the total outstanding shares of Borrower would constitute 20% or more of the total outstanding shares of Borrower (the “Conversion Limitation”), then at the election of Lender (i) Borrower shall, to the extent such vote is required by applicable regulations or stock exchange rules, submit the proposed Conversion for shareholder approval in accordance with applicable regulations within 30 days of such election, or (ii) the Conversion shall be limited to the number of shares of common stock of Borrower that, together with all other shares of Borrower’s common stock owned by Lender at the time of Conversion, comprise 19.99% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock of Borrower, and any outstanding principal balance not converted to stock shall continue to accrue interest under Section 1(b) above and be paid in cash.
c. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, at any time prior to the payment in full of the principal amount outstanding hereunder and the interest thereon, the number of outstanding shares of Borrower shall have changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, tender or exchange offer, readjustment or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend or stock distribution thereon shall be declared with a record date within said period, the value of the Conversion Shares shall be appropriately adjusted to provide Lender the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the value of the Conversion Shares exceed $11.244 per share after giving effect to such adjustment in accordance with this Section 2(c), (ii) Borrower shall be prohibited from issuing any shares unless such shares are issued at or above fair market value and in a transaction duly approved by the Board of Directors of Borrower and, to the extent that any fairness opinion has been obtained, Lender shall by its terms be allowed to rely thereon and (iii) nothing in this Section 2(c) shall permit Borrower to take any action with respect to its securities that is expressly prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.
