17, 2013, March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2014, the “Term Loan Agreement”). The Term Loan Agreement provides
for a $20.0 million senior secured second-lien term loan facility (the “Term Facility”).
On December 14, 2012,
the Borrowers also entered into an amended and restated revolving credit and security agreement with PNC Bank, National Association,
as administrative agent and the initial lender (as amended on April 9, 2013, October 17, 2013, March 31, 2014 and December 31,
2014, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). The Revolving Credit Agreement currently provides for a $13.5 million
committed asset-based revolving credit facility (after taking into consideration the Fifth Revolving Facility Amendment (as defined
and discussed below)), with a sublimit for letters of credit (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the
Term Facility, the “Credit Facilities”).
Fifth Term Loan Amendment
On April 6, 2015, the
Borrowers entered into the Fifth Amendment to Term Loan and Security Agreement and Forbearance Agreement (the “Fifth Term
Loan Amendment”) to, among other things, (1) amend the maturity date of the Term Facility from September 30, 2015 to
November 30, 2015; and (2) amend the capital expenditures covenant to limit capital expenditures to $350,000 for the period January1,
2015 through May 31, 2015.
In addition, the Fifth

a Termination Event (as defined in the Fifth Term Loan Amendment) or (b) 5:00 pm Houston time on May 31, 2015, the lenders under
the Term Facility agree to forbear from commencing any Enforcement Action (as defined in the Fifth Term Loan Amendment) as a result
of certain Existing Defaults (as defined in the Fifth Term Loan Amendment) or the Borrowers’ failure to comply with either
the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant or minimum EBITDA covenant in the Term Loan Agreement for the quarter ended March 31,
2105, so long as the Borrowers (1) have at least $5,000,000 in EBITDA, measured monthly on a trailing twelve-month basis (with
an add-back for a one-time severance payment of $2,520,120, less principal payments, previously made to Stephen Cope); (2) have
a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0, measured monthly on a trailing twelve-month basis (with an add-back for a
one-time severance payment of $2,520,120, less principal payments, previously made to Stephen Cope); (3) furnish the agent and
lenders with a Forbearance Compliance Certificate, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the agent and lenders, within
thirty days after the end of each month; and (4) diligently pursue options that would cause or enable the repayment in full of
all obligations under the Revolving Facility, including by pursuing a financing commitment from a third party financing source.
The Fifth Term Loan
Amendment also provides that the agent under the Term Facility may take action to preserve its rights in the collateral securing
the Term Facility.
In connection with
the amendments and forbearance agreement described above, the Borrowers are required to continue to comply with the 2015 cost reduction
plan approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Fifth Revolving Facility
Amendment
On April 6, 2015, the
Borrowers entered into the Fifth Amendment to Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement and Forbearance Agreement
(the “Fifth Revolving Facility Amendment”) to, among other things, (1) amend the maturity date of the Revolving
Facility from March 31, 2015 to May 31, 2015; (2) amend the capital expenditures covenant to limit capital expenditures to $350,000
for the period January1, 2015 through May 31, 2015; (3) increase the Applicable Margin for revolving advances to 6.50% (from 5.50%);
and (4) reduce the maximum amount for revolving advances to $13,500,000 (from $15,000,000).
In addition, the Fifth
Revolving Facility Amendment provides that during the period beginning March 31, 2015 and ending on the earlier of (a) the occurrence
of a Termination Event (as defined in the Fifth Revolving Facility Amendment) or (b) 5:00 pm Houston time on May 31, 2015, the
lenders under the Revolving Facility agree to forbear from commencing any Enforcement Action (as defined in the Fifth Revolving
Facility Amendment) as a result of certain Existing Defaults (as defined in the Fifth Revolving Facility Amendment) or Borrowers’
failure to comply with either the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant or minimum EBITDA covenant in the Revolving Credit Agreement
for the quarter ended March 31, 2105, so long as the Borrowers (1) have at least $5,000,000 in EBITDA, measured monthly on a trailing
twelve-month basis (with an add-back for a one-time severance payment of $2,520,120, less principal payments, previously made to
Stephen Cope); (2) have a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0, measured monthly on a trailing twelve-month basis
(with an add-back for a one-time severance payment of $2,520,120, less principal payments, previously made to Stephen Cope); (3)
furnish the agent and lenders with a Forbearance Compliance Certificate, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the agent
and lenders, within thirty days after the end of each month; and (4) diligently pursue options that would cause or enable the repayment
in full of all obligations under the Revolving Facility, including by pursuing a financing commitment from a third party financing
source.
The Fifth Revolving
Facility Amendment also provides that the agent under the Revolving Facility may take action to preserve its rights in the collateral
securing the Revolving Facility, decrease or increase any advance rates from time to time in agent’s credit judgment, or
increase, modify the amount, timing or purpose of any reserves as agent deems proper from time to time in agent’s credit
judgment.
In connection with
the amendments and forbearance agreement described above, the Borrowers (1) are required to continue to comply with the 2015 cost
reduction plan approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and (2) were required to affirm and acknowledge the imposition
of a $500,000 reserve against availability under the Revolving Facility (as of November 13, 2014) and the imposition of an additional
reserve in the amount of $50,000 per week starting November 17, 2014, until such time as the agent may determine in its sole Credit
Judgment (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement).

TO AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT AND FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”)
is entered into as of April 6, 2015, but effective for all purposes as of March 31, 2015 (the “Fifth Amendment Effective
Date”), among INTEGRATED DRILLING EQUIPMENT, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“IDE”
and “Borrowing Agent”), INTEGRATED DRILLING EQUIPMENT COMPANY HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (“Holdings”), and Integrated Drilling Equipment Holdings
Corp., formerly known as Empeiria Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Empeiria,”
and collectively with IDE and Holdings, “Borrowers”), each of the financial institutions which are now
or which hereafter become a party hereto (individually, each a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”)
and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“PNC”), as agent for Lenders (PNC, in such capacity, the “Agent”).
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given them in the Credit Agreement (as defined
below).
RECITALS
A. Borrowers, Agent
and the Lenders are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of December 14,
2012 (as amended by the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated April 9, 2013, the
Second Amendment to Amendment and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated October 17, 2013, the Third Amendment
to Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated March 31, 2014, the Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated
Revolving Credit and Security Agreement and Forbearance Agreement dated December 31, 2014 (the “Fourth Amendment”),
and as further amended, restated, joined, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”).
B. Under the terms
of that certain Notice of Imposition of Reserves and Reservation of Rights dated November 13, 2014 from Agent to Borrower (“Notice
of Reserves”) (i) a reserve in the amount of $500,000 has been imposed against the amount available to be drawn as
Revolving Advances and (ii) commencing November 17, 2014 and continuing weekly thereafter until such time as the Agent may determine
otherwise in its sole Credit Judgment, an additional reserve has been imposed in the amount of $50,000 per week; furthermore, any
such reserves may be increased or modified by the Agent as it deems proper and necessary from time to time in its Credit Judgment.
C. Under the terms
of the Fourth Amendment, the “Forbearance Period” (as defined in the Fourth Amendment) is scheduled to expire at 5:00
pm Houston time on March 31, 2015.
D. Certain Events
of Default under Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement have occurred and are continuing as a result of (i) Borrowers’
failure to comply with the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio set forth in Section 6.5(b) for each of June,
July, August, September and October of 2014, (ii) the incurrence of debt under the Stephen Cope Notes (as defined below) and the
making of any payments in respect of the Stephen Cope Notes (as defined below), all of which actions are prohibited under Section
7.8 (Indebtedness) of the Credit Agreement, and (iii) the failure to make any payments when due in respect of the Stephen
Cope Notes, which would constitute a failure to pay Material Indebtedness pursuant to Section 10.12(c) of the Credit
Agreement (collectively, the “Existing Defaults”).
E. The Obligations
under the Credit Agreement are scheduled to mature on March 31, 2015, and Borrowers have requested that Agent and Lenders
extend the stated term of the Credit Agreement until May 31, 2015.
F. Borrowers, Agent,
and Lenders are willing to agree to, subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment, (i) reduce the Maximum Revolving Advance
Amount, (ii) increase the Applicable Margin for Revolving Advances, (iii) provide that Agent and Lenders continue to forbear from

acknowledge that the existence of the Forbearance Period will not toll or otherwise extend any cure period applicable to such Event
of Default; and
(f)
Agent may prepare and deliver to Borrowers, any other obligor or any other Person any notice, demand or other instruction
