Introductory. Parker Drilling Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several Initial Purchasers named in Schedule A (the “Initial Purchasers”), acting severally and not jointly, the respective amounts set forth in such Schedule A of $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 7.50% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”). Goldman, Sachs & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and RBS Securities Inc. have agreed to act as the representatives of the several Initial Purchasers (the “Representatives”) in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes.

The Notes are to be issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of an Indenture, dated as of July 30, 2013 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors (as defined below) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). Securities (as defined below) will be issued only in book-entry form in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”) pursuant to a letter of representations, dated on or before the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2 hereof) (the “DTC Agreement”), among the Company, the Trustee and the Depositary.

The holders of the Notes will be entitled to the benefits of a registration rights agreement, to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below) (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers, pursuant to which the Company and the Guarantors may be required to file with the Commission (as defined below), under the circumstances set forth therein, (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act (as defined below) relating to another series of debt securities of the Company with terms substantially identical to the Notes (the “Exchange Notes”) and the Guarantees (the “Exchange Guarantees”) to

be offered in exchange for the Notes and the Guarantees (the “Exchange Offer”) and (ii) to the extent required by the Registration Rights Agreement, a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act relating to the resale by certain holders of the Notes, and in each case, to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statements to be declared effective. All references herein to the Exchange Notes and the Exchange Offer are only applicable if the Company and the Guarantors are in fact required to consummate the Exchange Offer pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

The payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will initially be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally by the entities listed on the signature pages hereof as “Guarantors” (collectively, the “Guarantors”), pursuant to their guarantees (the “Guarantees”). The Notes and the Guarantees attached thereto are herein collectively referred to as the “Securities”; and the Exchange Notes and the Exchange Guarantees attached thereto are herein collectively referred to as the “Exchange Securities.”

This Agreement, the Indenture, the Securities, the Exchange Securities and the Registration Rights Agreement are referred to in this Agreement collectively as the “Transaction Documents.”

The Company understands that the Initial Purchasers propose to make an offering of the Securities on the terms and in the manner set forth herein and in the Pricing Disclosure Package (as defined below) and agrees that the Initial Purchasers may resell, subject to the conditions set forth herein, all or a portion of the Securities to purchasers (the “Subsequent Purchasers”) on the terms set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package. The Securities are to be offered and sold to or through the Initial Purchasers without being registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the “Securities Act,” which term, as used herein, includes the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder), in reliance upon exemptions therefrom. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities and the Indenture, investors who acquire Securities shall be deemed to have agreed that Securities may only be resold or otherwise transferred, after the date hereof, if such Securities are registered for sale under the Securities Act or if an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available (including the exemptions afforded by Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) or Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”)).

The Company has prepared and delivered to each Initial Purchaser copies of a preliminary Offering Circular, dated July 22, 2013 (the “Preliminary Offering Circular”), and has prepared and delivered to each Initial Purchaser copies of a Pricing Supplement, dated July 25, 2013, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Pricing Supplement”), describing the terms of the Securities, each for use by such Initial Purchaser in connection with its solicitation of offers to purchase the Securities. The Preliminary Offering Circular and the Pricing Supplement are herein referred to as the “Pricing Disclosure Package.” Promptly after this Agreement is executed and delivered, the Company will prepare and deliver to each Initial Purchaser a final Offering Circular dated the date hereof (the “Final Offering Circular”).

All references herein to the terms “Pricing Disclosure Package” and “Final Offering Circular” shall be deemed to mean and include all information filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act,” which term, as used herein, includes the rules

and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder) prior to the Time of Sale and incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package (including the Preliminary Offering Circular) or the Final Offering Circular (as the case may be), and all references herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Final Offering Circular shall be deemed to mean and include all information filed under the Exchange Act after the Time of Sale and incorporated by reference in the Final Offering Circular.

None of the Company, its Affiliates, or any person acting on its or any of their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom the Company makes no representation or warranty) has engaged or will engage, in connection with the offering of the Securities, in any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502 under the Securities Act.

(d) The Pricing Disclosure Package and Offering Circular. Neither the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of the Time of Sale, nor the Final Offering Circular, as of its date or (as amended or supplemented in accordance with Section 3(a), as applicable) as of the Closing Date, contains or will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that this representation, warranty and agreement shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by any Initial Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use in the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Circular or amendment or supplement thereto, as the case may be.

(f) Chief Financial Officer’s Certificate. On the date hereof and on the Closing Date the Initial Purchasers shall have received a written certificate executed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, substantially in the form of Schedule C attached hereto.

(g) Registration Rights Agreement; Officers’ Certificate. The Company and the Guarantors shall have executed and delivered the Registration Rights Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers, and the Initial Purchasers shall have received such executed counterparts.

(h) Additional Documents. On or before the Closing Date, the Initial Purchasers and counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall have received such further information and documents as they may reasonably require for the purposes of enabling them to pass upon the issuance and sale of the Securities as contemplated herein, or in order to evidence the accuracy of any of the representations and warranties, or the satisfaction of any of the conditions or agreements, herein contained.

If any condition specified in this Section 5 is not satisfied when and as required to be satisfied, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representatives by notice to the Company at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, which termination shall be without liability on the part of any party to any other party, except that Sections 4, 6, 8 and 9 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

SECTION 6. Reimbursement of Initial Purchasers’ Expenses. If this Agreement is terminated by the Representatives pursuant to Section 5 or 10(i) hereof, including if the sale to the Initial Purchasers of the Securities on the Closing Date is not consummated because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or to comply with any provision hereof, the Company agrees to reimburse the Initial Purchasers upon demand for all out-of-pocket expenses that shall have been reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with the proposed purchase and the offering and sale of the Securities, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, printing expenses, travel expenses, postage, facsimile and telephone charges.

SECTION 7. Offer, Sale and Resale Procedures. Each of the Initial Purchasers, on the one hand, and the Company and each of the Guarantors, on the other hand, hereby agree to observe the following procedures in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities:

(a) Offers and sales of the Securities will be made only by the Initial Purchasers or Affiliates thereof qualified to do so in the jurisdictions in which such offers or sales are made. Each such offer or sale shall only be made to persons whom the offeror or seller reasonably believes to be Qualified Institutional Buyers or non-U.S. persons outside the United States to whom the offeror or seller reasonably believes offers and sales of the Securities may be made in reliance upon Regulation S upon the terms and conditions set forth in Annex I hereto, which Annex I is hereby expressly made a part hereof.

(b) The Securities will be offered by approaching prospective Subsequent Purchasers on an individual basis. No general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Rule 502 under the Securities Act) will be used in the United States in connection with the offering of the Securities.

(c) Upon original issuance by the Company, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Securities (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, other than the Exchange Securities) shall bear the legend contained in “Transfer Restrictions” in the Preliminary Offering Circular.

(d) Each of the Initial Purchasers represents and agrees that (i) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”)) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the Securities in circumstances in which section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Company and the Guarantors; and (ii) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Securities in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

Following the sale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers to Subsequent Purchasers pursuant to the terms hereof, the Initial Purchasers shall not be liable or responsible to the Company for any losses, damages or liabilities suffered or incurred by the Company, including any losses, damages or liabilities under the Securities Act, arising from or relating to any resale or transfer of any Security other than by or on behalf of such Initial Purchasers.

(a) Indemnification of the Initial Purchasers. Each of the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which such Initial Purchaser, director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company),

insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based: (i) upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Circular (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or (ii) the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and to reimburse each Initial Purchaser and each such director, officer, employee or controlling person for any and all expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by Goldman, Sachs & Co.) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Initial Purchaser or such director, officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply, with respect to an Initial Purchaser, to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Initial Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Circular (or any amendment or supplement thereto). The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Indemnification of the Company and the Guarantors. Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Guarantor, each of their respective directors, officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Company, any Guarantor or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Initial Purchaser), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Circular (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Circular (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Initial Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Company, any Guarantor and each such director, officer or controlling person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Company, any Guarantor or such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Initial Purchasers through the Representatives have

furnished to the Company expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Circular (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth in the second and third sentences of the fifth paragraph, the eighth paragraph and the ninth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Preliminary Offering Circular and the Final Offering Circular. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Initial Purchaser may otherwise have.

(c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party hereunder for contribution or otherwise under this Section 8, except to the extent it is materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) as a result of such failure and this provision shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that the indemnifying party may have to an indemnified party other than under the provisions of this Section 8 and Section 9. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with a single local counsel (in each jurisdiction)), approved by the indemnifying party (Goldman, Sachs & Co. in the case of Sections 8(b) and 9 hereof), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

(d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff (other than a final judgment entered into pursuant to a settlement as to which the indemnifying party did not consent), the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 8, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request or disputed in good faith the indemnified party’s entitlement to such reimbursement prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include any statements as to or any findings of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

SECTION 9. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 hereof is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total discount received by the Initial Purchasers bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or inaccuracy.

The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8 hereof, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 8 hereof with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 9; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 8 hereof for purposes of indemnification.

The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the discount received by such Initial Purchaser in connection with the Securities distributed by it. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective commitments as set forth opposite their names in Schedule A. For purposes of this Section 9, each affiliate, director, officer and employee of an Initial Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each director of the Company or any Guarantor, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantor with the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Guarantors.

SECTION 10. Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representatives by notice given to the Company if at any time: (i) trading or quotation in any of the Company’s securities shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or by the NYSE; (ii) trading in securities generally on either the Nasdaq Stock Market or the NYSE shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such quotation system or stock exchange by the Commission or FINRA; (iii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of federal, New York or Delaware authorities; (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial change or development involving a prospective substantial change in United States’ or international political, financial or economic conditions, as in the judgment of the Representatives is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering sale or delivery of the Securities in the manner and on the terms described in the Pricing Disclosure Package or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities; (v) in the judgment of the Representatives there shall have occurred any Material Adverse Change; or (vi) the Company shall have sustained a loss by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident or other calamity of such character as in the judgment of the Representatives may interfere materially with the conduct of the business and operations of

the Company regardless of whether or not such loss shall have been insured. Any termination pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of (i) the Company or any Guarantor to any Initial Purchaser, except that the Company and the Guarantors shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Sections 4 and 6 hereof, (ii) any Initial Purchaser to the Company, or (iii) any party hereto to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

SECTION 11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Guarantors, their respective officers and the several Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser, the Company, any Guarantor or any of their partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 12. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed, hand delivered, couriered or facsimiled and confirmed to the parties hereto as follows:

Any party hereto may change the address or facsimile number for receipt of communications by giving written notice to the others.

SECTION 13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, and to the benefit of the indemnified parties referred to in Sections 8 and 9 hereof, and in each case their respective successors, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. The term “successors” shall not include any Subsequent Purchaser or other purchaser of the Securities as such from any of the Initial Purchasers merely by reason of such purchase.

SECTION 14. Authority of the Representative. Any action by the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be taken by Goldman, Sachs & Co. on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, and any such action taken by Goldman, Sachs & Co., shall be binding upon the Initial Purchasers.

SECTION 15. Partial Unenforceability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other section, paragraph or provision hereof. If any section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement is for any reason determined to be invalid or unenforceable, there shall be deemed to be made such minor changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

SECTION 16. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE.

SECTION 17. Default of One or More of the Several Initial Purchasers. If any one or more of the several Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on the Closing Date, and the aggregate number of Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Initial Purchasers shall be obligated, severally, in the proportions that the number of Securities set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A bears to the aggregate number of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Initial Purchasers with the consent of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase on the Closing Date. If any one or more of the Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities and the aggregate number of Securities with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate number of Securities to be purchased on the Closing Date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers and the Company for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 4, 6, 8 and 9 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the Initial Purchasers or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, as the case may be, but in no event for longer than seven days in order that the required changes, if any, to the Final Offering Circular or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Initial Purchaser under this Section 17. Any action taken under this Section 17 shall not relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.

SECTION 18. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. Each of the Company and the Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the several Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the Company and the Guarantors are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Initial Purchaser is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, and the Guarantors or their respective affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other party; (iii) no Initial Purchaser has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company and the Guarantors with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Initial Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Company and the Guarantors on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company and the Guarantors except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) the several Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and the Guarantors and that the several Initial Purchasers have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any fiduciary or advisory relationship; and (v) the Initial Purchasers have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Company and the Guarantors have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company, the Guarantors and the several Initial Purchasers, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Company and the Guarantors hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company and the Guarantors may have against the several Initial Purchasers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty.

SECTION 19. PATRIOT Act. In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Initial Purchasers are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Initial Purchasers to properly identify their respective clients.

SECTION 20. General Provisions. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings and negotiations with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each one of which shall be an original,

with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier, facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., a “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof. This Agreement may not be amended or modified unless in writing by all of the parties hereto, and no condition herein (express or implied) may be waived unless waived in writing by each party whom the condition is meant to benefit. The section headings herein are for the convenience of the parties only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, kindly sign and return to the Company the enclosed copies hereof, whereupon this instrument, along with all counterparts hereof, shall become a binding agreement in accordance with its terms.


Very truly yours,

The foregoing Purchase Agreement is hereby confirmed and accepted by the Initial Purchasers as of the date first above written.

In connection with the offering and issuance of $225 million aggregate principal amount of 7.50%Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”) of Parker Drilling Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to a preliminary offering circular dated July 22, 2013 (the “Preliminary Offering Circular”), a Purchase Agreement, dated July 25, 2013 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, and Goldman, Sachs & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and RBS Securities Inc., as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the several purchasers listed on Schedule A thereto, I, Chris Weber, solely in my capacity as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, have been asked to deliver this certificate to the Representatives, on behalf of the Company. Based on my examination of the Company’s financial records and schedules undertaken by myself or members of my staff who are responsible for the Company’s financial accounting matters, I hereby certify, on behalf of the Company and solely in my capacity as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, that:

1. I have read the Preliminary Offering Circular, including the preliminary financial information for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 disclosed in the Preliminary Offering Circular under the caption “Summary—Recent Events—Preliminary Second Quarter Results.”

2. I or members of my staff who are responsible for the Company’s financial and accounting matters supervised the compilation of the Company’s preliminary estimated financial information specified in Annex I hereto (the “Specified Preliminary Financial Information”).

3. I or members of my staff who are responsible for the Company’s financial and accounting matters compared the amounts with respect to the Specified Preliminary Financial Information to the accounting records and financial schedules (collectively, the “Books and Records”) of the Company and found the amounts to be consistent and in agreement with the Company’s Books and Records and based on assumptions that I believed to be reasonable.

4. With respect to the Specified Preliminary Financial Information, nothing has come to my attention that causes me to believe that the financial information contained therein is not true, correct and accurate in all material respects. The Specified Preliminary Financial Information is preliminary and is subject to adjustments that may arise as a result of the completion of customary quarterly closing and review procedures and is inherently uncertain and is subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks.

5. I have reviewed the unaudited interim financial statements of ITS Tubular Services (Holdings) Limited (“ITS”) as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 set forth in the column entitled “ITS Holdings IFRS Historical” on pages 3 and 5 of Exhibit 99.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “8-K”) dated April 22, 2013 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 9, 2013, and the notes related thereto (the “ITS Interim Financials”).

6. I or members of my staff who are responsible for the Company’s financial and accounting matters have reviewed certain accounting records and financial schedules of ITS (the “ITS Books and Records”) in connection with the Company’s steps to integrate the operations and financials of ITS following the Company’s acquisition of ITS on April 22, 2013 and as they relate to the audits of ITS and preparation of pro forma financial information.

7. I or members of my staff who are responsible for the Company’s financial and accounting matters compared the amounts with respect to the ITS Interim Financials to the ITS Books and Records and found the amounts to be consistent and in agreement with the ITS Books and Records and based on assumptions that I believed to be reasonable.

8. Nothing has come to my attention as a result of the review set forth in item 6 above or the comparison set forth in item 7 above that has caused me to believe that (a) the financial information contained in the ITS Interim Financials is not true, correct and accurate in all material respects or (b) any material modifications should be made to the ITS Interim Financials for them to be in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards.

9. Except with respect to the columns entitled “Parker Drilling Historical” and “ITS Holdings IFRS Historical,” I have reviewed the compilation of the following pro forma financial data (collectively, the “Pro Forma Financials”):

10. Nothing came to my attention as a result of my review of the Pro Forma Financials that caused me to believe that the Pro Forma Financials included or incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Offering Circular, as amended and supplemented by the Pricing Disclosure Package, do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X and that the pro forma adjustments have not been properly applied to the historical amounts in the compilation of those statements.

This certificate is solely to assist the Representatives in conducting and documenting their investigation of the affairs of the Company in connection with the offering of the Notes covered by the Preliminary Offering Circular, and the Representatives are entitled to rely on this certificate. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Certificate as of the date first set forth above.

Pricing Term Sheet dated July 25, 2013 to the Preliminary Offering Circular dated July 22, 2013 (the “Preliminary Offering Circular”), of Parker Drilling Company (the “Company”). This Pricing Term Sheet is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Preliminary Offering Circular. The information in this Pricing Term Sheet supplements the Preliminary Offering Circular and supersedes the information in the Preliminary Offering Circular to the extent it is inconsistent with the information in the Preliminary Offering Circular. Capitalized terms used in this Pricing Term Sheet but not defined have the meanings given them in the Preliminary Offering Circular.

Our summary pro forma financial data for the three months ended March 31, 2013 included on pages 13, 14 and 15 of the preliminary offering circular (and the applicable corresponding items in our unaudited pro forma financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013 incorporated by reference into the preliminary offering circular) are revised as follows, due to (a) the reclassification of $435,000 of pro forma interest expense to pro forma operating expense and (b) a separate $592,000 increase in pro forma operating expenses:

We define EBITDA as net income plus income taxes, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for other income and expenses (excluding interest expense), gain on disposition of assets, impairments and other charges, and provision for reduction in carrying value of certain assets.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures that management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess:

We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in this offering circular provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as an analytical tool because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Additionally, because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA with net income and net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for each of the periods indicated.

The securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and are being offered only to (1) “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and (2) outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act, and this communication is only being distributed to such persons.

This communication is not an offer to sell the securities and it is not a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction.

We have reviewed the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Circular and have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company and the Guarantors, with representatives of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and with your representatives and your counsel, at which the contents of the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Circular and related matters were discussed. The purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Circular, and we have not undertaken to verify independently any of the factual matters in such documents. Moreover, many of the determinations required to be made in the preparation of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Circular involve matters of a non-legal nature. Accordingly, we are not passing upon, and do not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements included in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Circular (except to the extent stated in paragraph 12 above). Subject to the foregoing, and on the basis of the information we gained in the course of performing the services referred to above, we advise you that nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that:

(1) the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of the Time of Sale, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or

(2) the Final Offering Circular, as of its date or as of the date hereof, included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

it being understood that in each case we have not been asked to, and do not, express any belief with respect to (a) the financial statements and other financial or accounting information contained or included or incorporated by reference therein or omitted therefrom, or (b) the representations and warranties included and other statements of fact contained in the exhibits to documents incorporated by reference therein.

I am the Deputy General Counsel of Parker Drilling Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and in such capacity I have advised the Company in connection with the purchase today by the several initial purchasers named therein (the “Initial Purchasers”), for whom you are acting as representative, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2013 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedule II hereto (the “Guarantors”) and you, of $225,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 7.50% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”), guaranteed as to payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest by the Guarantors (the “Guarantees). The Notes are issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of July 30, 2013 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (the “Trustee”), relating to the Notes and the Guarantees. I have been requested by the Company to furnish this opinion to you pursuant to Section 5(c) of the Purchase Agreement.

In connection with the opinion set forth below, I have examined copies of (i) the preliminary Offering Circular, dated July 22, 2013 (the “Preliminary Offering Circular”), (ii) the pricing supplement dated July 25, 2013 (the “Pricing Supplement” and together with the Preliminary Offering Circular, the “Pricing Disclosure Package”), (iii) the Final Offering Circular, dated July 25, 2013 (the “Final Offering Circular”), (iv) the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 as filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and incorporated by reference into the Pricing Disclosure Package and Final Offering Circular; (v) the Purchase Agreement; (vi) the Indenture; (vii) the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2013 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among the Company, the Guarantors and you; (vii) the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated December 14, 2012 by and among the Company as Borrower, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative

Agent, the lenders from time to time party thereto and the other persons from time to time party thereto (as amended to date, the “Bank of America Credit Agreement”); (viii) the Term Loan Agreement dated April 18, 2013 by and among the Company as Borrower and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as Administrative Agent and Lender (as amended to date, the “GS Credit Agreement”); (ix) the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, each as amended to the date hereof; and (x) certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company. I also have made such investigations of law and examined originals or copies of such other documents and records as I have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. With your approval, I have relied as to certain matters of fact on information obtained from public officials, officers of the Company and other sources believed by me to be reliable. In the course of the foregoing investigations and examinations, I assumed (i) the genuineness of all signatures on, and the authenticity of, all documents and records submitted to me as originals and the conformity to original documents and records of all documents and records submitted to me as copies; (ii) the truthfulness of all statements of fact set forth in the documents and records examined by me; (iii) the due authorization, execution and delivery by the parties thereto (other than the Company) of all documents and instruments examined by me; and (iv) that, to the extent such documents and instruments purport to constitute agreements of such parties, they constitute valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such parties.

Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth herein, and having due regard for such legal considerations as I deem relevant, I am of the opinion that:

With your concurrence, the foregoing opinions are predicated upon and qualified by the following:

I am a member of the Bar of the State of Texas. All opinions regarding the laws of other jurisdictions are based solely upon my knowledge of the laws of the State of Texas and a general understanding of the statutory laws of the State of Delaware without any review or consideration of

any decisions or opinions of courts or other adjudicative bodies or governmental authority of the State of Delaware. The foregoing opinions are based on and are limited to (i) the statutory laws of the State of Delaware (in each case, without consideration of any judicial or administrative interpretations thereof) and (ii) the applicable laws of the United States of America, in each case, as in effect on the date hereof which, in my experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type provided for in the Purchase Agreement. I express no opinion with respect to the state securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction or with respect to the law of any other jurisdiction. I also express no opinion with respect to the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws.

I am not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Circular and I have not independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements. I have, however, participated in conferences with other officers of the Company, its independent registered public accounting firm, your representatives and your counsel at which the contents of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Circular and related matters were discussed. Based upon such participation, I advise you that no facts have come to my attention that have caused me to believe that the (i) the Final Offering Circular (except for the financial statements, schedules and related data and other financial or accounting data, as to which I have not been asked to comment), as of its date or as of the date hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (iii) the Pricing Disclosure Package (except for the financial statements, schedules and related data and other financial or accounting data, as to which I have not been asked to comment), as of 3:05 p.m., New York City time, on July 25, 2013, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

This opinion is solely for the Initial Purchasers’ benefit, in their capacity as the Initial Purchasers of the Notes, pursuant to Section 5(c) of the Purchase Agreement, and may not be used or relied upon by them in any other capacity or for any other purpose and may not be used or relied upon for any purpose by any other person or entity without my express prior written authorization. Except for the use permitted herein, this opinion may not be quoted, circulated or published, in whole or in part, or otherwise referred to, filed with or furnished to any other person or entity, without my express prior written authorization.

The opinion expressed herein is not an opinion with respect to matters of fact or a guarantee and should not be construed or relied upon as such. The opinion expressed herein is as of the date hereof, and I expressly disclaim any responsibility to update my opinion after the date hereof. This opinion is strictly limited to the matters stated herein, and no other or more extensive opinion is intended, implied or to be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein.

We have acted as Oklahoma counsel to the subsidiaries of Parker Drilling Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), listed on Annex 1 attached hereto (the “Oklahoma Guarantors”) in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2013 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company (including the Oklahoma Guarantors) parties thereto as Guarantors, and Goldman, Sachs & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and RBS Securities Inc., as representatives of the Initial Purchasers (as therein defined). This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 5(c) of the Purchase Agreement.

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement.

In connection with the opinions and statements expressed below, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of each of the following documents (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”):

We have also examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the articles or certificate of incorporation, articles of organization or certificate of limited partnership, as the case may be, and the bylaws, operating agreement or limited partnership agreement, as the case may be, of each of the Oklahoma Guarantors, each as amended and in effect on the date hereof (collectively, the “Organic Documents”), (ii) a certificate of good standing for each of the Oklahoma Guarantors issued [ l ], 2013, by the Oklahoma Secretary of State (collectively, the “Good Standing Certificates”), (iii) resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors or other governing body of each of the Oklahoma Guarantors (or of its manager or general partner), (iv) an officer’s certificate delivered on behalf of each of the Oklahoma Guarantors by its secretary or assistant secretary or by a secretary, assistant secretary or other responsible officer of its manager or general partner (collectively, the “Opinion Certificates”), and (v) an on-line search conducted by a legal assistant of this firm on [ l ], 2013, of the website maintained by the office of the Oklahoma Secretary of State with respect to the existence and good standing of each of the Oklahoma Guarantors. Due to the limited scope of our engagement and of this opinion, we have not examined any other documents or instruments, nor have we conducted any factual investigation of any matter. We have relied, without independent investigation, as to factual matters on the representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents and on the Good Standing Certificates and the Opinion Certificates. It is understood that you have consented to the scope of our examination.

We also made such examination of the laws of the State of Oklahoma and the federal law of the United States of America as we deemed relevant for the purpose of expressing our opinions.

We have assumed (a) the legal capacity of all natural persons executing the Transaction Documents and such other agreements, certificates and documents, (b) the genuineness of all signatures thereon, (c) the authority of all persons signing the Transaction Documents and such other agreements, certificates and documents on behalf of the parties thereto, other than officers and other representatives of the Oklahoma Guarantors, (d) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and (e) the conformity to the original of all copies submitted to us as electronic copies, telecopies, photocopies or conformed copies.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the additional qualifications, limitations and exceptions hereinafter set forth, we are of the opinion that:

C. This opinion is rendered as of the date hereof and based solely upon compilations of the applicable laws as were available to the public on the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in law that may hereafter occur.

D. This opinion is limited to the matters expressly set forth herein, and no opinion is to be inferred or may be implied beyond the matters expressly stated herein.

E. The opinions expressed herein have been rendered at your request, are solely for the benefit of you, the Initial Purchasers and any Subsequent Purchasers who acquire Securities in accordance with the express provisions of the Purchase Agreement, may not be relied upon by you or any other Purchaser for any purpose, and may not be communicated or published by you to any other Person for any purpose or filed with any governmental authority without our prior written approval in each instance. At your request, we hereby consent to reliance hereon by any Purchaser of the Securities made in accordance with the express provisions of the Purchase Agreement, on the condition and understanding that (i) this letter speaks only as of the date hereof, and (ii) any such reliance by a future Purchaser must be actual and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the relevant time, including any changes in law, facts or any other developments known to or reasonably knowable by the Purchaser at such time.

We have acted as special Nevada counsel to Parker Drilling Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and in such capacity have advised the Company and the subsidiaries of the Company listed above (the “Nevada Guarantors”) in connection with the purchase today by you pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2013 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, the Nevada Guarantors, the subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedule II hereto (together with the Nevada Guarantors, the “Guarantors”) and you, as representatives of the several initial purchasers named therein (the “Initial Purchasers”), of $225,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 7.50% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”), guaranteed as to payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest by the Guarantors (the “Guarantees”). The Notes are issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of July 30, 2013 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (the “Trustee”), relating to the Notes and the Guarantees. We have been requested by the Company to furnish this opinion to you pursuant to Section 5(c) of the Purchase Agreement.

In connection with the opinion set forth below, we have examined copies of (i) the preliminary Offering Circular, dated July 22, 2013 (the “Preliminary Offering Circular”), (ii) the pricing supplement dated July 25, 2013 (the “Pricing Supplement” and together with the Preliminary Offering Circular, the “Pricing Disclosure Package”), (iii) the Final Offering Circular, dated July 25, 2013 (the “Final Offering Circular”), (iv) the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 (other than information that is furnished rather than filed in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules) as filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and incorporated by reference into the Pricing Disclosure Package and Final Offering Circular; (v) the Purchase Agreement; (vi) the Indenture; (vii) the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of July [ l ], 2013 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among the Company, the Guarantors and you; (viii) the charter, bylaws or other constitutive documents of each of the Nevada Guarantors, each as amended to the date hereof; and (ix) certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of each of the Nevada Guarantors.

We have performed no other investigation, inquiry, or due diligence, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts may be drawn from our representation in this matter. In the course of the foregoing investigations and examinations, we assumed (i) the genuineness of all signatures on, and the authenticity of, all documents and records submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents and records of all documents and records submitted to us as copies; (ii) the truthfulness of all statements of fact set forth in the documents and records examined by us; (iii) the due authorization, execution and delivery by the parties thereto (other than the Nevada Guarantors) of all documents and instruments examined by us; and (iv) that, to the extent such documents and instruments purport to constitute agreements of such parties, they constitute valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such parties.

Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth herein, and having due regard for such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

The foregoing opinion is, with your approval, based on and is limited to the general corporation law and limited liability law of the State of Nevada and the relevant Federal law of the United States of America.
