act of negligence of Tenant, or any of its agents. Tenant, as a material part
of the consideration to Landlord, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property
or injury to persons in, upon, or about the Demised Premises from any cause and
Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord unless said
damage or injury is caused by negligence of Landlord or its agents.

10. INSURANCE - GENERAL LIABILITY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.

(a) General liability. Tenant shall at all times during
the term hereof and at its own cost and expense, procure and continue in force
bodily injury liability and property damage liability insurance against

be named as additional insureds.

Page 3
51
(b) Property coverage. During the entire Term hereof,
Landlord shall procure and maintain in full force and effect with respect to

Such insurance, at Landlord's election, may include, but is not limited to,
sprinkler leakage, vandalism and malicious mischief coverage, and any other
endorsements required by the holder of any fee or leasehold mortgage.

11. DAMAGE TO OR DESTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS. If the improvements
on said premises shall be damaged or rendered untenable, or unusable, by fire
or other casualty, Landlord shall, within sixty (60) days from the date of such
damage or destruction, commence to repair or replace said improvements and the
same shall be completed with due diligence. If such repair or replacement has
not been completed within ninety (90) days of such damage, Tenant may terminate
this Lease, as of the date of such damage, upon thirty (30) days written notice
to Landlord. Landlord covenants and agrees that in the event of destruction or
damage of the building, improvements or any part thereof, and as often as any
building or improvement on said Premises shall be destroyed or damaged by fire,
windstorm or other casualty, Landlord shall rebuild, replace or repair the same
in such manner that the buildings and/or improvements so rebuilt and repaired
shall be of at least the same value as the buildings and/or improvements upon
the Demised Premises immediately prior to such damage or destruction.
Provided, however, anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, in
the case of any damage or destruction occurring during the term hereof, to the
extent of fifty percent (50%) or more of the insurable value of the building,
Landlord may, at Landlord's option, (to be evidenced by notice in writing given
to Tenant with thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such damage or
destruction), in lieu of repairing or replacing such building and related
improvements owned by Landlord, such building and related improvements and any
insurance proceeds shall be retained by Landlord.

12. REMEDIES OF LANDLORD. If the rental provided for in paragraph
No. 3 or the Additional Rental provided for in paragraph No. 4 is not paid by
Tenant on the day when the same shall become due and payable, and shall
continue in default for a period of ten (10) days after written notice thereof
by Landlord to Tenant, or if Tenant shall default in the performance of any of
the other agreements, conditions, covenants or terms herein contained, or if
Tenant shall abandon the Leased Premises for a period of ten (10) days or more,
or if a petition or answer for reorganization of Tenant or the then owner of
Tenant's interest hereunder, shall be approved by any court or judge thereof,
or if Tenant, or the then owner of Tenant's interest hereunder, shall be
adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt, or if Tenant, or the then owner of Tenant's
interest hereunder, shall make a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or shall take any benefit under any insolvency or bankruptcy act, or
have a receiver or trustee or other fiduciary appointed for its property, or if
Tenant's leasehold interest shall be taken on execution or other process of
law, or if this lease, or the estate of Tenant hereunder, shall be transferred
or pass to or devolve upon any other person, firm, association or corporation,
except in the manner provided hereunder, then and in any of said events,
Landlord, or those claiming under it, may, immediately, or at any time
thereafter, have the right to terminate and end this Lease, and the term hereby
granted, as well as all of the right, title and interest of Tenant hereunder,
by giving Tenant twenty (20) days

Page 4
52
notice in writing; and it is agreed that upon the expiration of the term fixed
in said notice, if the said non-payment, default or other cause of termination
specified in such notice shall not have been made good or removed, this Lease
and the term hereby granted, as well as all of the right, title and interest of
Tenant hereunder shall at the option of Landlord, or those claiming under it,
wholly cease and expire in the same manner and with the same force and effect
as if the expiration of time specified in such notice were the end of the term
herein originally demised; and Landlord, and those claiming under it, may
immediately, or at any time thereafter, and without further notice and demand,
enter upon the Demised Premises or any part thereof, and repossess the same as
of its first and former estate, and expel Tenant and those claiming under it,
and remove its or their effects without being taken or deemed guilty of any
manner of trespass, and without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise
be used for arrears of rent or any breach of Tenant's covenants, and that upon
entry as aforesaid, said Lease shall be terminated; and Tenant agrees that,
notwithstanding the termination of this Lease and possession regained by
Landlord, Tenant will indemnify Landlord against all loss of rent which may
accrue to it by reason of such termination, during the remainder of the
original term. In the event Landlord does not exercise the rights provided for
above, it may accept rent from a receiver, trustee or other officer in
possession of the Demised Premises for the term of such occupancy without
impairing or affecting in any way the rights of Landlord against Tenant
hereunder. Any neglect or failure to enforce the right of forfeiture of this
Lease or re- entry upon breach of any of the conditions, covenants, terms and
agreements herein contained, shall not be deemed a waiver of such right upon
any subsequent breach of any such or any other condition, covenant, term and/or
agreement herein contained. If a writ of attachment or execution is levied on
this Lease, Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days in which to cause the
attachment or execution to be removed. If any involuntary proceeding in
bankruptcy is brought against Tenant, or if a receiver is appointed, tenant
shall have sixty (60) days in which to have the involuntary proceeding
dismissed or the receiver removed. If Tenant fails to perform any provision of
this Lease, other than payment of rent when due, and if such failure to perform
is not cured within twenty (20) days after notice has been given by Landlord to
Tenant, Tenant shall be in default. If the default cannot reasonably be cured
within twenty (20) days, Tenant shall not be in default of this Lease if Tenant
commences to cure the default within the twenty (20) day period and diligently
and in good faith continues to cure the default. Notices given under this
Article shall specify the alleged default and the applicable provisions, and
shall demand that Tenant perform the provisions of this Lease or pay the rent
that is in arrears, as the case may be, within the applicable period of time,
or quit the Premises. No such notice shall be deemed a forfeiture or a
termination of this Lease unless Landlord so elects in the notice.

13. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Tenant agrees not to sell, assign,
mortgage, pledge, or in any manner transfer this Lease or any estate or
interest thereunder and not to sublet the Premises or any part or parts thereof
without the previous consent of Landlord in each instance, said consent not to
be unreasonably withheld by Landlord. Any such assignment shall not release
the Tenant from its obligations hereunder.

Page 5
53
14. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Tenant shall, at its own cost and
expense, comply with all of the requirements of all municipal, state and
federal authorities now in force, or which may hereafter be in force,
pertaining to the said premises, and shall faithfully observe in the use of the
premises all municipal ordinances and state and federal statutes now in force
or which may hereafter be in force. The judgment of any court of competent
jurisdiction, or the admission of Tenant in any action or proceedings against
Tenant, whether Landlord be a part thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any
such ordinance or statute in the use of the Premises shall be conclusive of
that fact as between Tenant and Landlord.

15. EMINENT DOMAIN. In the event that all or substantially all
the Demised Premises shall be appropriated or taken under the power of eminent
domain by any public or quasi-public authority, this Lease shall terminate and
expire as of the date of such taking and Tenant shall thereupon be released
from any liability thereafter accruing hereunder. "Appropriation or taking" by
eminent domain as used herein also includes a voluntary conveyance under threat
of eminent domain proceedings.

In any eminent domain proceedings, Tenant and Landlord shall be
entitled to prosecute claims in any condemnation proceedings for the value of
their respective interests.

In the event more than twenty percent (20%) of the ground floor area
of the building or more than twenty percent (20%) of the parking area is taken
under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public authority, or
if by reason of any appropriation or taking, regardless of the amount so taken,
the remainder of the building or parking and common area is not one undivided
parcel of property or is not suitable, in Tenant's reasonable judgment, for
operation as a general business, office and warehouse, or if right of ingress
or egress is taken so that the Premises will not be suitable for the purposes
for which it has been leased, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate
this Lease as to such location as of the date of such taking upon giving to
Landlord notice in writing of such election within thirty (30) days after such
appropriation or taking. In the event of such termination, both parties shall
thereupon be released from any liability thereafter accruing hereunder.
Landlord agrees, immediately after it receives information as to the intention
of any such authority to appropriate or take, to give to Tenant notice in
writing thereof.

If this Lease is terminated in either manner herein above provided,
each party shall be entitled to any award made to it in such proceedings but
the rent shall be prorated as of the date of Tenant's quitting occupancy of the
Demised Premises and Landlord agrees to refund to Tenant any unearned rent paid
in advance as to such location.

Each party agrees to execute and deliver to the other all instruments
that may be required to effectuate the provisions of this paragraph.

Page 6
54
16. LIENS. In addition to the statutory landlord's lien, Landlord
shall have at all times a valid contractual lien and/or security interest for
all rentals and other sums of money becoming due hereunder from Tenant, upon
all goods, wares, equipment, fixture, furniture and other personal property of
Tenant situated on the above described premises, and such property shall not be
removed therefrom without the consent of Landlord until all arrearage in rent
as well as any and all other sums of money then due to Landlord hereunder shall
first have been paid and discharged. Upon occurrence of an event of default by
Tenant, Landlord may, in addition to any other remedies provided herein or by
law, enter upon the demised premises and take possessions of any and all goods,
wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture and other personal property of Tenant
situated on the premises without liability for trespass or conversion, and sell
the same with or without notice at public or private sale, with or without
having such property at the sale, at which Landlord or his assigns may
purchase, and apply the proceeds thereof, less any and all expenses connected
with the taking of possession and sale of the property, as a credit against any
sums due by Tenant to Landlord. Any surplus shall be paid to Tenant, and
Tenant agrees to pay any deficiency forthwith.

17. SIGNS. Any sign or signage desired by Tenant shall have prior
approval by Landlord as to size, design and location and shall be at Tenant's
sole cost and expense. Tenant shall remove any such sign upon termination of
the lease and shall return the Premises to their condition prior to the
placement of said sign.

18. NOTICES. Whenever, under this Lease, a provision is made for
any demand, notice or declaration of any kind, or where it is deemed desirable
or necessary by either party to give or serve any such notice, demand or
declaration to the other, it shall be in writing and either served personally
or sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, with
postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

19. CONSENT OF LANDLORD AND TENANT. Wherever in this Lease the
Landlord or Tenant is required to give its consent or approval to any action on
the part of the other, such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

In the event of failure to give any such consent, the other party
shall be entitled to specific performance by law and shall have such other
remedies as are reserved to it under this Lease, but in no event shall Landlord
or Tenant be responsible in monetary damages for such failure to give consent
unless said failure is withheld maliciously or in bad faith.

authorized representatives to enter the premises at all reasonable times for
the purpose of inspection, maintenance, repairs, making additions or
alterations to the premises.

21. MISCELLANEOUS.

A. One or more waivers of a breach of any covenant, term
or condition of this Lease by either party shall not be construed by the other
party as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or
condition. The consent or approval of either party to or of any act by the
other party of a nature requiring consent or approval shall not be deemed to
waive or render unnecessary consent to or approval of any subsequent similar
act.

B. Nothing herein contained, either in the method of
computing rent or otherwise, shall create between the parties hereto, or
otherwise, be relied upon by others as creating, any relationship or
partnership, association, joint venture, or otherwise. The sole relationship
of the parties hereto shall be that of Landlord and Tenant.

C. The terms and agreements as contained in this Lease
shall apply to, run in favor of, and shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto, and also their respective heirs, executors,

D. It is understood that there are no oral agreements or
representations between the parties hereto affecting this Lease, and this Lease
supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements,
brochures, agreements or representations and understandings, if any, between

extension thereof, or upon any earlier termination of such term, surrender and
yield up to Landlord the building, and other improvements on the Demised
Premises in good order, condition and state of repair, reasonable wear and tear
and the provisions of Article 6 hereof excepted.

F. If Tenant continues to occupy the Premises after the
last day of the term hereby created, or after the last day of any extension of
said term, and the Landlord elects to accept said rent thereafter, a tenancy
from month to month only shall be created under and subject to all other
provisions contained herein, at a minimum monthly rent equal to one and
one-half (1-1/2) times the fair rental value during the final year of the lease
as the same may be extended from time to time. The current fair value of the
minimum monthly rental is $5,500.00 per month.

G. The article titles herein are for convenience only
and do not in any way define, limit or construe the contents of such articles.

H. It is agreed that if any provision of this lease
shall be determined to be void by any Court of competent jurisdiction, then
such determination shall not affect any other provision of this Lease and all
such other provisions shall remain in full force and effect; and it is the
intention of the parties hereto that if any provision of this Lease is capable
of two constructions, one of which would render the provision void and the
other of which would render the provision valid, then the provision shall have
the meaning which renders it valid.

I. This Lease shall be construed and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of Texas with venue in Midland County,
Texas. All rentals due hereunder shall be payable at ▇.▇. ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇,

allocation for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ obligations set forth herein) Pool has agreed to pay
for the Shares in the Purchase Agreement and the covenants set forth herein,
the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS. Capitalized terms not expressly defined

2. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS BY ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges

3. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and
agrees that all Confidential Information known or obtained by
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, whether before or after the date hereof, is the property of
the Company. Therefore, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will not
disclose to any unauthorized Persons or use for his own account or for
the benefit of any third party any Confidential Information, without
Pool's written consent, unless and to the extent that the Confidential
Information is or becomes generally known to and available for use by
the public other than as a result of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ fault. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
agrees to deliver to Pool at the time of execution of this Agreement,
and at any other time Pool may request, all documents, memoranda,
notes, plans, records, reports, and other documentation, models,
components, devices, or computer software, whether embodied in a disk
or in other form (and all copies of all of the foregoing), relating to
the businesses, operations, or affairs of the Company and any other
Confidential Information that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may then possess or have under
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ control as of the termination date of the Agreement.

4. NONCOMPETITION. As an inducement for Pool's
affiliate to enter into the Stock Purchase Agreement and the
consideration to be paid under this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that:

(a) Except as may be required under that certain
Consulting Contract between Pool and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ dated October
16, 1997, for a period of three (3) years after the Closing
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will not, directly or by his personal efforts
through another entity anywhere in the state of Texas:

(i) engage or invest in, own, manage,
operate, finance, control, or participate in the
ownership, management, operation, or control of, be
employed by, associated with, or in any manner
connected with, lend ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ name or any similar
name to, lend ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ credit to, or render
services or advice to, any business whose products or
activities compete in whole or in part with the
products or activities of the Company or Pool;
provided, however, that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may purchase or
otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) five
percent of any class of securities of any enterprise
(but without otherwise participating in the
activities of such enterprise) if such securities are
listed on any national or regional securities
exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
agrees that this covenant is reasonable with respect
to its duration, geographical area, and scope.
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall be
deemed to prohibit ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ from maintaining his
ownership interest in and activities related to the
businesses described in Exhibit A, attached hereto so
long as such does not have a significant competitive
impact on Pool or the Company; and

(ii) either for himself or any other
Person, (A) induce or attempt to induce any employee
of Company or Pool to leave the employ of the Company
or Pool, (B) in any way interfere with the
relationship between the Company or Pool and any
employee of the Company or Pool, (C) employ, engage
as an employee or independent contractor, any
employee of the Company or Pool, or (D) induce or
attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee,
or business relation of the Company or Pool to cease
doing business

61
with the Company or Pool, or in any way interfere
with the relationship between any customer, supplier,
licensee, or business relation of the Company or
Pool; and

(iii) either for himself or any other
Person, solicit the business of any Person known to
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to be a customer of the Company or Pool,
whether or not ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ had personal contact with
such Person, with respect to products or activities
which compete in whole or in part with the products
or activities of the Company or Pool.

(b) In the event it is finally determined that
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has breached any covenant set forth in Subsection
4(a) of this Agreement, the term of such covenant will be
extended by the period of the duration of such breach; and

5. REMEDIES. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ breaches the covenants set
forth in Sections 3 or 4 of this Agreement:

(a) Pool shall notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ of any alleged
breach within ten (10) days of its occurrence, or when Pool
should have reasonably discovered such alleged breach, and the
nature and extent of the alleged breach in sufficient detail
for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to be fully apprised of such alleged breach;

(b) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have thirty (30) days from
receipt of such notice to cure such alleged breach or
demonstrate that no such breach has occurred;

(c) In the event such alleged breach is not
resolved under Subsection 5(b), then either party may invoke
the Dispute Resolution provisions described in Section 9.12 of
the Purchase Agreement, which provisions are incorporated
herein by reference and made a part hereof as if copied
verbatim herein; and

(d) In the event that it is finally determined
that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has breached this Agreement, Pool and the
Company will be entitled to the following:

(i) Damages from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; and

(ii) In addition to its right to damages
and any other rights it may have, to obtain
injunctive or other equitable relief to
restrain any breach or threatened breach or
otherwise to specifically enforce the
provisions of Sections 3 and 4 of this
Agreement, it being agreed that money damages
alone would be inadequate to compensate the
Pool and the Company and would be an
inadequate remedy for such breach.

The rights and remedies of the parties to this
Agreement are cumulative and not alternative.

62
6. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement will be
binding upon Pool, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and will inure to the benefit of
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ heirs and personal representatives and of
Pool and the Company and their affiliates, successors and assigns as
long as such entities remain in the Pool Energy Services Co. group of
entities controlled by Pool Energy Services Co. and control of Pool
Energy Services Co. remains unchanged.

7. This Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of
the noncompetition provisions in Section 4.

8. WAIVER. Neither the failure nor any delay by any
party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this
Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege,
and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or
privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right,
power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or
privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no
claim or right arising out of this Agreement can be discharged by one
party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim
or right unless in writing signed by the party to be charged
therewith; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be
applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and
(c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver
of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving
such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand
as provided in this Agreement.

9. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be governed by
the laws of the State of Texas without regard to conflicts of laws
principles.

10. SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible each provision and
term of this Agreement will be interpreted in a manner to be effective
and valid, but if any provision or term of this Agreement is held to
be prohibited by applicable law or invalid, then such provision or
term will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity, without invalidating or affecting in any manner whatsoever
the remainder of such provision or term or the remaining provisions or
terms of this Agreement. If any of the covenants set forth in Section
4 of this Agreement are held to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against
public policy, such covenants will be considered divisible with
respect to scope, time, and geographic area, and in such lesser scope,
time and geographic area, will be effective, binding and enforceable
against ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

11. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one
or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original
copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be
deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.

12. SECTION HEADINGS, CONSTRUCTION. The headings of
Sections in this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will
not affect its construction or interpretation. All references to
"Section" or "Sections" refer to the corresponding Section or Sections
of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. All words used in this
Agreement will be construed to be of such gender or number as the
circumstances require. Unless otherwise expressly provided, the word
"including" does not limit the preceding words or terms.

13. NOTICES. All notices, consents, waivers, and other
communications under this Agreement must be in writing and will be

amendment.
