On September 3, 2021, NexTier Completion Solutions Inc.

The initial Note bears interest at rate of 5.25% per annum. Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor. The Master Agreement and each Note contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on further encumbrance of the collateral subject to the applicable loans under the Master Agreement.
