EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN TORRENT ENERGY SERVICES, LLC AND LANCE PERRYMAN Dated as of September 16, 2014

its subsidiaries. A violation or threatened violation of this prohibition may be enjoined by the courts. The rights afforded Torrent under this provision are in addition to any and all rights and remedies otherwise afforded by law.

5.                                      Nature of the Restrictions. Perryman agrees and stipulates that the time, geographical area, and scope of restrained activities for the Protective Covenants in Section D of this Agreement are reasonable and enforceable under Texas law, including Texas Business and Commerce Code §§15.50-15.52. The terms and provisions of Section D of this Agreement are intended to be separate and divisible provisions and if, for any reason, any one or more of them is held to be invalid or unenforceable, neither the validity nor the enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement will be affected. As further described in Section E.3 of this Agreement, if a court concludes that any time period, geographical area, or scope of restrained activities specified in Section D of this Agreement is unenforceable, the court is vested with the authority to reduce the time period, geographical area, or scope of restrained activities, and to enforce the Protective Covenants in Section D of this Agreement to the fullest extent the law permits. Additionally, if Perryman violates any of the Protective Covenants contained in Section D of this Agreement, the Non-Competition Period shall be suspended and will not run in favor of Perryman from the time of the commencement of any violation until the time when Perryman ceases the activities causing the violation. Moreover, any subsequent change(s) in the terms or conditions of Perryman’s employment with Torrent will not affect the validity or scope of these Protective Covenants.

6.                                      Survival of Covenants. The Protective Covenants, obligations, and agreements set forth in Sections B, C and D of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason, or the termination or resignation of Perryman for any reason, and shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of action Perryman may have against Torrent, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to Torrent’s enforcement of the Protective Covenants, obligations, and agreements set forth in Sections B, C and D of this Agreement. No modification or waiver of any Protective Covenant, obligation, or agreement contained in Sections B, C and D of this Agreement shall be valid unless the Board approves the waiver or modification in writing.

7.                                      Injunctive Relief. Perryman acknowledges and agrees that the Protective Covenants, obligations, and agreements contained in Sections B, C and D of this Agreement concern special, unique, and extraordinary matters and that a violation of any of the terms of these Protective Covenants will cause Torrent irreparable injury for which adequate remedies at law are not available. Therefore, Perryman agrees that Torrent will be entitled to an injunction, restraining order, or all other equitable relief (without the requirement to post bond) as a court of competent jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to restrain Perryman from committing any violation of the Protective Covenants referred to in Sections B, C and D of this Agreement. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies Torrent may have against Perryman. Torrent and Perryman irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts outlined in Section E.2 regarding the injunctive remedies set forth in this Section D.7 and the interpretation and enforcement of Sections B, C and D insofar as the interpretation and enforcement relate to an application for injunctive relief

13

in accordance with the provisions of this Section D.7. Breach of this Agreement by Torrent shall not preclude injunctive relief for a breach by Perryman.

E.                                    Miscellaneous.

1.                                      Notification of Subsequent Employers. If Perryman in the future seeks or is offered employment by any other company, firm, or person during the Employment Period, Perryman shall provide a copy of this Agreement to the prospective employer before accepting employment with that prospective employer.

2.                                      Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall, in all respects, be interpreted, enforced, and governed under the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of law principles. The Parties agree that the language 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. Venue of any litigation arising from this Agreement or any disputes relating to Perryman’s employment shall be in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, or a state district court of competent jurisdiction in Dallas, County, Texas. Perryman consents to personal jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, or a state district court of competent jurisdiction in Dallas County, Texas for any dispute relating to or arising out of this Agreement or Perryman’s employment, and Perryman agrees that Perryman shall not challenge personal or subject matter jurisdiction in such courts.

3.                                      Severability and Reform. The Parties intend all provisions of this Agreement to be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. If, however, any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future law, such provision shall be fully severable, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision was never a part hereof, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance. In lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid, and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible, and Torrent and Perryman hereby request the court to whom disputes relating to this Agreement are submitted to reform the otherwise unenforceable covenant in accordance with this Section E.3.

4.                                      Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, legal representatives, and permitted assigns (if any). In entering into this Agreement, Torrent is relying on the unique personal services of Perryman; services from another person will not be an acceptable substitute. Except as provided in this Agreement, Perryman may not assign this Agreement or any of the rights or obligations set forth in this Agreement. Any attempted assignment by Perryman in violation of this Section E.4 shall be void. Except as provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement entitles any person other than the Parties to the Agreement to any claim, cause of action, remedy, or right of any kind, including, without limitation, the right to continued employment. Torrent shall not assign its obligations or rights under this Agreement without Perryman’s written consent, provided that Torrent may assign this Agreement to a successor to all or substantially all of the assets of Torrent without Perryman’s consent.

14

5.                                      Cooperation. During the Employment Period and following the termination of Perryman’s employment for any reason, Perryman agrees to cooperate with Torrent at Torrent’s expense in connection with: (i) any internal investigation or administrative, regulatory, or judicial proceeding as reasonably requested by Torrent (including, without limitation, Perryman being available to Torrent upon reasonable notice for interviews and factual investigations, appearing at Torrent’s request to give testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process, volunteering to Torrent all pertinent information, and turning over to Torrent all relevant documents which are or may come into Perryman’s possession, all at times and on schedules that are reasonably consistent with Perryman’s other permitted activities and commitments); and (ii) all matters relating to the winding up of Perryman’s pending work on behalf of Torrent and the orderly transfer of any such pending work as designated by Torrent. Such services will be without additional compensation if Perryman is then employed by Torrent and for an hourly rate, based on Perryman’s Base Salary in effect at the time of his separation from employment, if Perryman is not then employed by Torrent.

6.                                      Waiver. No waiver by either Party to this Agreement of any right to enforce any term or condition of this Agreement, or of any breach hereof, shall be deemed a waiver of such right in the future or of any other right or remedy available under this Agreement.

7.                                      Counterparts. This Agreement and amendments thereto shall be in writing and may be executed in counterparts and delivered by electronic transmission. Each such counterpart shall be deemed an original, but both counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

8.                                      Ambiguities. Any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities shall be resolved against the drafting party shall not apply to the interpretation of this Agreement.

9.                                      Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

10.                               Notices. Any notice or other communication required, permitted, or desired to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and shall be deemed delivered when personally delivered; the next business day, if delivered by overnight courier; the same day, if transmitted by facsimile on a business day before noon, CST; the next business day, if otherwise transmitted by facsimile; and the third business day after mailing, if mailed by prepaid certified mail, return receipt requested, as addressed or transmitted as follows (as applicable):

11.                               Entire Agreement and Amendment. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter in this Agreement. No oral statements or prior written material not specifically incorporated into this Agreement shall be of any force and effect, and no changes in or additions to this Agreement shall be recognized, unless incorporated into this Agreement by written amendment, such amendment to become effective on the date stipulated in it. Perryman acknowledges and represents that in executing this Agreement, he does not rely, has not relied, and specifically disavows any reliance on any communications, promises, statements, inducements, or representation(s), oral or written, by Torrent, except as expressly contained in this Agreement. Any amendment to this Agreement must be signed by all Parties to this Agreement. This Agreement supersedes any prior agreements between Perryman and Torrent concerning the subject matter of this Agreement. The Parties represent that they relied on their own judgment in entering into this Agreement.

12.                               Understand Agreement. Perryman represents and warrants that he has read and understood each and every provision of this Agreement, and he understands that he has the right to obtain advice from legal counsel of his choice, if necessary and desired, in order to interpret any and all provisions of this Agreement, and that he has freely and voluntarily entered into this Agreement.

13.                               Modification of Agreement. This Agreement may not be changed or modified or released or discharged or abandoned or otherwise terminated, in whole or in part, except by an instrument in writing signed by Perryman and a Manager of Torrent other than Perryman and approved in writing by the Board.

14.                               Compliance with Section 409A.

(a)                                 Delay in Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if upon the Termination Date, Perryman is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A and the deferral of any amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement as a result of Perryman’s termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax to Perryman under Section 409A, then Torrent will defer the payment of any such amounts hereunder until the earlier of: (i) the date that is six (6) months following the date of Perryman’s termination of employment with Torrent, or (ii) the date of Perryman’s death, at which time any such delayed amounts will be paid to Perryman in a single lump sum, with interest from the date otherwise payable at the United States prime rate as

16

published in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal on the first publication date coincident with or immediately following the Termination Date.

(b)                                 Overall Compliance. In the event that it is reasonably determined by Torrent or Perryman that, as a result of Section 409A, any of the payments that Perryman is entitled to under the terms of this Agreement or any nonqualified deferred compensation plan (as defined under Section 409A) may not be made at the time contemplated by the terms hereof or thereof, as the case may be, without causing Perryman to be subject to an income tax penalty and interest as a result of failure to comply with or otherwise be exempt from Section 409A, Torrent will make such payment (with interest thereon) on the first day that would not result in Perryman incurring any tax liability under Section 409A; provided, however, that if there is no date upon which such payment could be made without Perryman incurring any tax liability under Section 409A, such payment shall be made as soon as practicable following the determination that Perryman shall incur such tax liability. In addition, other provisions of this Agreement or any other plan notwithstanding, Torrent shall have no right to accelerate any such payment or to make any such payment as the result of an event if such payment would, as a result, be subject to the tax imposed by Section 409A. For purposes of Section 409A, the right to any series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.

(c)                                  Reimbursements. To the extent that any reimbursement or benefit in kind hereunder constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A, such reimbursement or benefit in kind shall be administered in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv). Specifically, (A) the applicable reimbursements and benefits in kind shall be such reimbursements and benefits in kind allowable pursuant to Torrent’s standard policies and procedures as apply to Torrent’s executive employees generally, (B) the amounts reimbursed and in-kind benefits under this Agreement during Perryman’s taxable year may not affect the amounts reimbursed or in-kind benefits provided in any other taxable year, (C) the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made on or before the last day of Perryman’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred, (D) the right to reimbursement or an in-kind benefit is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (E) the right to reimbursement of a specific expense incurred shall terminate one year from the date Perryman incurred such expense.

(d)                                 Interpretation and Reformation. This Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A, to the extent applicable. Without limiting the foregoing, where necessary to ensure compliance with Section 409A, the term “terminate employment” and similar terms shall be interpreted to mean “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. If any provision of this Agreement would cause Perryman to incur any additional tax under Section 409A, the Parties will in good faith attempt to reform the provision in a manner that maintains, to the extent possible, the original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provision of Section 409A.

(e)                                  Consultation with Tax Advisor. Perryman is hereby advised to consult immediately with his own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of this Agreement, including the consequences of Section 409A.

EXHIBIT A TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

EXHIBIT B

PERMITTED ACTIVITIES

I certify that as of the Effective Date of my Employment Agreement, other than investments in Torrent, I have investments or interests in the following private energy-related companies:

I hold an interest in GNC Midstream, a private equity fund which invests in other entities. This interest is approximately a 3% passive interest in GNC Midstream. I am not a manager, officer, director, advisor or consultant to GNC Midstream. I have invested approximately $27,000 in GNC Midstream and have capital commitment obligations in the aggregate of $100,000. GNC Midstream therefore has the right to make capital calls to me of $73,000, and I am obligated to satisfy such capital calls by contributing cash up to such amount to GNC Midstream’s capital. I shall not become a manager, officer, director, advisor or consultant to GNC Midstream nor materially increase its percentage ownership in GNC Midstream through any additional investments other than as noted in the previous sentence without the consent of Torrent’s Board in its sole discretion. I shall also promptly inform the Torrent’s Board if my investment in GNC Midstream creates a conflict of interest with Torrent or Parent.
