        <footnote id="F1">On June 7, 2006, Mr. Harrison sold 10,000 shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of vested options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock granted under the Second Amended and Restated Basic Energy Services, Inc. 2003 Incentive Plan. This sale of shares was timely reported by Mr. Harrison on Form 4 on June 9, 2006, but such filing incorrectly reflected the sale of shares as a sale of Common Stock acquired other than in connection with the exercise of vested stock options. This Amendment to Form 4 is being filed to reflect that the June 7, 2006 sale of 10,000 shares of Common Stock was made in connection with the June 7, 2006 exercise of vested options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Options vested in one-third increments on January 1, 2002, 2003 and 2004.</footnote>
