W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Company has duly authorized the issuance from time to time of its debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness (the “Securities”), which are to be issued in one or more series, and has heretofore made, executed and delivered to the Trustee an Indenture dated as of November 15, 2019 (the “Original Indenture”) pursuant to which the Securities are issuable;
WHEREAS, Sections 2.01, 2.03 and 9.01 of the Original Indenture provide that the form or terms of any series of Securities may be established in a supplemental indenture, and the Company desires to establish in this First Supplemental Indenture both the form and terms of a separate series of Securities designated as its 5.15% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”); and
WHEREAS, all things necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture, to establish the Notes as provided for in this First Supplemental Indenture, and to make the Original Indenture, as supplemented with respect to the Notes by this First Supplemental Indenture and as it may otherwise be supplemented thereafter with applicability to the Notes (the Original Indenture, as so supplemented, being sometimes referred to herein as the “Indenture”), a valid agreement of the Company, in accordance with its terms, have been done;
NOW, THEREFORE, that, for and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Notes by the Holders, the Company and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree, solely for the equal and proportionate benefit of the respective Holders from time to time of Notes, as follows:
Article I
SUPPLEMENT OF THE ORIGINAL INDENTURE
Section 1.01Supplement to Article I of the Original Indenture.

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to: (1) the average of the yields for the five Business Days prior to the Calculation Date (as defined below), under the heading that represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication that is published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities, adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities” for the
1
maturity corresponding to the Optional Redemption Comparable Treasury Issue; provided that, if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining term of the Notes, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Optional Redemption Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month; or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published on the Calculation Date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Optional Redemption Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Optional Redemption Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Optional Redemption Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date (the “Calculation Date”). The Company (or its designee) will (a) determine the Adjusted Treasury Rate and the Make-Whole Redemption Price with respect to any redemption on the third Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, and (b) prior to such Redemption Date file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Adjusted Treasury Rate and the Make-Whole Redemption Price and showing the calculation of such in reasonable detail.
“Attributable Debt” means, with respect to any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction as of any particular time, the present value discounted at the rate of interest implicit in the terms of the lease of the obligations of the lessee under such lease for net rental payments during the remaining term of the lease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a “Change of Control” if, as a result of such transaction, (i) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of a holding company and (ii) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following such transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction.

“Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” means the total assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the most recent fiscal quarter end for which a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and the Subsidiaries is available, minus all current liabilities (excluding the current portion of any long-term debt) of the Company and the Subsidiaries reflected on such balance sheet and minus total goodwill and other intangible assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries reflected on such balance sheet, all calculated on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP (which calculation shall give pro forma effect to any acquisition by or disposition of assets of the Company or any Subsidiaries involving the payment or receipt by the Company or any Subsidiaries, as applicable, of consideration (whether in the form of cash or non-cash consideration) in excess of $25,000,000 that has occurred since the end of such fiscal quarter, as if such acquisition or disposition had occurred on the last day of such fiscal quarter).
“Definitive Note” means a certificated Note registered in the name of the Holder thereof and issued in accordance with Sections 2.08, 2.12 and 2.17 of the Original Indenture, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Form of Note”), except that such Note shall not bear the Global Security legend set forth in the Form of Note and shall not have the “Schedule of Exchanges of Securities” attached thereto or other provisions marked therein as applicable only to a Global Security.

The Notes shall be issued upon original issuance in whole in the form of one or more Global Securities (the “Global Notes”). The Depository Trust Company and the Trustee are hereby designated as the Depositary and the Security Custodian, respectively, for the Global Notes under the Indenture. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Form of Note”). The terms of the Notes set forth on Exhibit A hereto are incorporated by reference herein as if set forth herein in their entirety.

(d)The Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes shall be treated as a single series for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments and redemptions; provided, however, that in the event that any Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such non-fungible Additional Notes shall be issued with a separate CUSIP number and ISIN so they are distinguishable from the Initial Notes.
(e)The Notes shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.03(b) of the Original Indenture (and shall not constitute Rule 144A Securities).

5.15% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2029
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of 5.15% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Securities”) of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-UTI Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).
1.Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at 5.15% per annum. The Company will pay interest semiannually on May 15 and November 15 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent Interest Payment Date on which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from November 15, 2019; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Security is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof (each, a “Record Date”) and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be May 15, 2020. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and premium (if any) from time to time at a rate equal to the interest rate then in effect; it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
2.Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of business on the Record Date next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Securities are canceled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this Security to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay the principal of, premium (if any) on and interest on the Securities in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Such amounts shall be payable at the offices of the Trustee (as defined below). Payments in respect of Global Securities shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder thereof. In all other cases, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments in respect of a Definitive Note in certificated form shall be made by wire transfer to a Dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if the Holder of such Definitive Note elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect in accordance with the Indenture (as defined below).
3.Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”), the trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Subsidiary of the Company may act in any such capacity.
A-5
4.Indenture. The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture, dated as of November 15, 2019 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee, as amended and supplemented with respect to the Securities by the First Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of November 15, 2019 and as it may otherwise be amended and supplemented thereafter with applicability to the Securities (the Base Indenture, as so amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”). The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of execution of the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms and for the definitions of capitalized terms used but not defined herein. The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Company limited to $350,000,000 in aggregate principal amount; provided, however, that the authorized aggregate principal amount of the Securities may be increased before or after the issuance of any Securities by a Board Resolution (or action pursuant to a Board Resolution) to such effect. The Base Indenture provides for the issuance of other series of debt securities (including the Securities, the “Debt Securities”) thereunder.
5.Future Subsidiary Guarantees. The Securities shall be entitled to the benefits of a Guarantee by each Subsidiary of the Company that becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the Indenture. As of the Issue Date, there are no Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Subsidiary of the Company that becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the Indenture will fully, unconditionally and absolutely guarantee to the Holders and to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities and all other amounts due and payable under the Indenture and the Securities by the Company, when and as such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms of the Securities and the Indenture, subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture. In the event of a default in payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or, subject to the Indenture, by the Holders, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, directly against any Subsidiary Guarantor to enforce its Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor.
6.Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Securities are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. Neither the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be required to register the transfer or exchange of (a) any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part, or (b) any Security during the period beginning 15 Business Days before the giving of notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed or a notice of a Change of Control Offer and ending at the close of business on the day of transmission.
A-6
7.Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Security shall be treated as its owner for all purposes.
8.Redemption. The Securities are subject to redemption, in whole at any time and in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, in principal amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above such amount (provided that the unredeemed portion of any Security redeemed in part may not be less than $2,000), upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice as provided in the Indenture, at a Redemption Price equal to (i) if the Redemption Date is prior to August 15, 2029, the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon that would be due if the Securities matured on August 15, 2029 (exclusive of the interest accrued to the Redemption Date) computed by discounting such payments to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at a rate equal to the sum of the Adjusted Treasury Rate for such Securities plus 50 basis points; or (ii) if the Redemption Date is on or after August 15, 2029, 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus, in each of clauses (i) and (ii), accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).
9.Amendments and Waivers. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of all series affected by such amendment or supplement (acting as one class), and any existing or past Default or Event of Default under, or compliance with any provision of, the Indenture may be waived (other than any continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium (if any) on or interest on the Securities) by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of any series or of all series (acting as one class) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Without the consent of any Holder, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities or waive any provision of either: (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; (ii) if required, to provide for the assumption of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture in the case of the merger, consolidation, amalgamation or sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of assets of the Company substantially as an entirety; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; (iv) to provide any security for, any guarantees of or additional obligors or guarantors on, the Securities or the related Guarantees, if any, or release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guarantee in the manner provided in the Indenture; (v) to comply with any requirement in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; (vi) to add to the covenants of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities, or to surrender any right or power conferred by the Indenture upon the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor; (vii) to add any additional Events of Default with respect to all or any series of the Debt Securities; (viii) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture, provided that the Holders of outstanding Securities are not adversely affected in any material respect; (ix) to supplement any of the provisions of the Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of the Securities pursuant to the Indenture; or (x) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities and to add
A-7
to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts thereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of the Indenture.
The right of any Holder to participate in any consent required or sought pursuant to any provision of the Indenture (and the obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to obtain any such consent otherwise required from such Holder) may be subject to the requirement that such Holder shall have been the Holder of record of any Securities with respect to which such consent is required or sought as of a date identified by the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor in a notice furnished to Holders in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
Without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not (i) reduce the amount of Debt Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; (ii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Security; (iii) reduce the principal of or premium on, or change the Stated Maturity of, any Security; (iv) reduce the premium, if any, payable upon the redemption of any Security or change the time at which any Security may or shall be redeemed; (v) change the coin or currency in which any Security or any premium or interest with respect thereto is payable; (vi) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal of or premium (if any) or interest on any Security, except as provided in the Indenture; (vii) make any change in the percentage of principal amount of Debt Securities necessary to waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or make any change in the provision for modification; or (viii) waive a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium (if any) or interest on the Securities.
A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of the Base Indenture, as supplemented from time to time, which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Debt Securities under the Base Indenture, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under the Indenture of the Holders of Debt Securities of any other series.
10.Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are defined in the Indenture and generally include: (i) default for 30 days in payment of any interest on the Securities; (ii) default in any payment of principal of or premium, if any, on the Securities as and when due and payable; (iii) default by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor in compliance with any of its other covenants or agreements in, or provisions of, the Securities or in the Indenture which shall not have been remedied within 60 days after written notice by the Trustee or by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (or, in the event that other Debt Securities issued under the Base Indenture are also affected by the default, then 25% in principal amount of all outstanding Debt Securities so affected); (iv) certain events involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that, considered in the aggregate as a single Subsidiary, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or (v) any Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that, considered in the aggregate as a single Subsidiary, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in
A-8
full force and effect with respect to Securities (except as otherwise provided in the Indenture). If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities (or, in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (iii) above, if outstanding Debt Securities of other series are affected by such Default, then at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities so affected), may declare the principal of and interest on all the Securities (or such Debt Securities) to be immediately due and payable, except that in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (iv) above, all outstanding Debt Securities under the Base Indenture become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. The amount due and payable upon the acceleration of any Security is equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of payment. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require security or indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities (or affected Debt Securities) may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing default (except a default in payment of principal, premium or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests. The Company must furnish annual compliance certificates to the Trustee.
11.Discharge Prior to Maturity. The Indenture with respect to the Securities shall be discharged and canceled upon the payment of all of the Securities and shall be discharged except for certain obligations upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of any combination of funds and Government Obligations sufficient for such payment.
12.Trustee Dealings with Company or Subsidiary Guarantors, if any. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any such Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.
13.No Recourse Against Others. The Trustee, and each Holder of a Security by its acceptance hereof, will be deemed to have agreed in the Indenture that no director, manager, member, officer, employee, stockholder, partner, unitholder or other owner of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee or any Affiliate of the foregoing entities shall have any liability in respect of the obligations of the Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee under the Indenture, the Securities or any related Guarantees by reason of his, her or its status. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issuance of Securities.
14.Authentication. This Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
15.CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Securities as a convenience to the Holders of the Securities.
