This Warrant Certificate is issued under and in accordance with a Warrant Agreement dated as of August 7, 2017 (the “Warrant Agreement”), between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (in such capacity, the “Warrant Agent”, which term includes any successor Warrant Agent under the Warrant Agreement), and is subject to the terms and provisions contained in the Warrant Agreement, to all of which terms and provisions the Holder of this Warrant Certificate consents by acceptance hereof. The Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Warrant Agreement. A copy of the Warrant Agreement may be obtained for inspection by the Holder hereof upon written request to the Warrant Agent at 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11210, Attention: Relationship Management – Nuverra Environmental Solutions, Inc.

Subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants may be exercised in whole or in part (i) by presentation of this Warrant Certificate with the Election to Purchase attached hereto duly executed and with the simultaneous payment of the Exercise Price in cash (subject to adjustment) to the Warrant Agent for the account of the Company at the office of the Warrant Agent or (ii) by Cashless Exercise. Payment of the Exercise Price in cash shall be made by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of funds to an account designated by the Company for such purpose. Payment by Cashless Exercise shall be made without the payment of cash by reducing the amount of Common Stock that would be obtainable upon the exercise of a Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price in cash so as to yield a number of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Warrant equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant is exercisable as of the Exercise Date (if the Exercise Price were being paid in cash) and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess of the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock on the


Exercise Date over the Exercise Price per share as of the Exercise Date and the denominator of which is the Current Market Value per share of the Common Stock on the Exercise Date.

As provided in the Warrant Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions therein set forth, the Warrants shall be exercisable at any time.

As provided in the Warrant Agreement, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants is subject to adjustment upon the happening of certain events.

The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with the registration of the Transfer or exchange of the Warrant Certificates but not for any exchange or original issuance (not involving a transfer) with respect to Warrant Certificates, the exercise of the Warrants or the Common Stock.

Upon any partial exercise of Certificated Warrants, there shall be countersigned and issued to the Holder hereof a new Warrant Certificate representing those Warrants which were not exercised. This Warrant Certificate may be exchanged at the office of the Warrant Agent by presenting this Warrant Certificate properly endorsed with a request to exchange this Warrant Certificate for other Warrant Certificates evidencing an equal number of Warrants. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants, but the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock on the day immediately preceding the date the Warrant is exercised, multiplied by the fraction of such share of Common Stock that would be issuable on the exercise of any Warrant, computed to the nearest whole cent.

All shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company upon the exercise of the Warrants and payment therefor shall, upon such issue, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable.

The Holder in whose name the Warrant Certificate is registered may be deemed and treated by the Company and the Warrant Agent as the absolute owner of the Warrant Certificate for all purposes whatsoever and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent.
