Dear ▇▇▇:

     This letter is to memorialize our agreement that you have volunteered to reduce your annualized base salary by 10%, to $208,800. This agreement will constitute an amendment to your Employment Agreement which was executed by you on May 14, 2007 (the “Employment Agreement”). You explicitly acknowledge and agree that the reduction in your base salary has been completely voluntary and will not be considered a “Change in Terms of Service,” as defined in the Employment Agreement.

     Thank you for your continued service to Superior Well Services.

Sincerely,

/s/ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

ACCEPTED AND AGREED:
