        Execution Version
Section 1.5Ranking of the Notes; Subordination. The Company agrees and each Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees, that payments of the Note Obligations will be (i) senior in right of payment to any indebtedness of the Company that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, and (ii) effectively subordinated to any existing or future indebtedness of the Company that is secured by Liens on assets to the extent of the value of such assets.
Section 1.6Pre-Funded Warrants. To the extent that issuance of any number of shares of Common Stock would cause any Holder’s beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock to exceed the Maximum Percentage (as defined in the Notes), the Company shall, in lieu of issuing such shares of Common Stock that would cause such Holder’s beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock to exceed the Maximum Percentage, issue to such Holder Pre-Funded Warrants (in substantially the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C) to acquire up to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would cause such Holder’s beneficial ownership to exceed the Maximum Percentage.

The respective obligations of each Purchaser under the Transaction Documents to which the Purchasers are party to are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under the Transaction Documents. The failure or waiver of performance under this Agreement by any Purchaser, or on its behalf, does not excuse performance by any other Purchaser. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture, or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by any Transaction Document. Except as otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents, each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including the rights arising out of the Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase Notes pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment in the Notes or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel and, to the extent deemed necessary or desirable, has obtained the advice of its own financial, tax, accounting, and other advisors in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.
Section 1.8Additional Purchasers. The Company may in its discretion add additional Purchasers to this Agreement with all the rights and obligations of a Purchaser if such additional Purchaser, if not already a party to this Agreement, shall have executed and delivered to the Company a joinder agreement in the form approved by the Company and such other documents or instruments as may be required in the Company’s reasonable judgment to effect such admission. The Company shall amend Schedule 2.1 to this Agreement to reflect the admission of any additional Purchaser or the purchase of Additional Notes by any existing Purchaser.

Except for any confidentiality agreements that may have been entered into by and between such Purchaser and the Company, there are no other agreements by, among or between such Purchaser and any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (other than the Transaction Documents), and there are no promises or inducements for future transactions by, among or between such Purchaser and any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company and any of its Affiliates, on the other hand.

(c)Short Selling Acknowledgement and Agreement. Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges, severally and not jointly with any other Purchaser, that the Commission currently takes the position that coverage of Short Sales of securities “against the box” prior to the effective date of a registration statement is a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act. Each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, that it will not engage in any Short Sales that result in the disposition of the Common Stock acquired pursuant to a conversion of the Notes by the Purchaser until such time as the Shelf Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is declared or deemed effective by the Commission.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 1.6Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.

INDEMNIFICATION, COSTS, AND EXPENSES
Section 1.1Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold the Purchasers, their Affiliates, and any of their respective Representatives, successors, stockholders, and partners (each, a “Purchaser Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, and liabilities, joint or several (including any investigation, legal, and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit, or proceeding or any claim asserted) (collectively, “Losses”), to which any Purchaser Indemnitee may become subject to the extent resulting from, due to, or based upon the Purchasers having entered into this Agreement or agreeing to purchase the Notes and the issuance of the Notes or the Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes.
Section 1.2Indemnification by Purchasers. Each Purchaser severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold the Company, its Affiliates, any of its or their Affiliates, and any of its or their respective Representatives, successors, stockholders and partners (each, a “Company Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all Losses to which any Company Indemnitee may become subject to the extent resulting from, due or are based upon (i) any inaccuracy in, breach of, or failure to comply with, any representation, warranty, or covenant made to the Company in this Agreement or any Transaction Document by such Purchaser, or (ii) any information furnished by such Purchaser in writing to the Company expressly for use in any preliminary prospectus, prospectus or issuer free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act) relating thereto, any amendment or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein; provided that the liability of each Purchaser shall be in proportion to, and shall be limited to, such Purchaser’s Notes Purchase Price.
Section 1.3Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.
(a)Any Person entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII shall: (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not limit the rights of such Person or relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 above unless and only to the extent that failure to give such notice materially prejudices the indemnifying party; and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and any indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any Person entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim at the expense of such indemnified person, unless (x) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses or (y) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person. If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party when permitted under this Article VIII, the indemnified party shall be entitled to assume and control such defense and to settle and agree to pay in full such claim without the consent of the indemnifying party without prejudice to the ability of the indemnified party to enforce its claim for indemnification against the indemnifying party under this Article VIII.
(b)Except as otherwise provided in the preceding paragraph, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions hereof, such indemnifying party shall not settle or otherwise compromise the applicable claim (i) unless (A) such settlement or compromise contains a full and unconditional release of the indemnified party and (B) such settlement or compromise does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the indemnified party or (ii) if such settlement or compromise provides for injunctive or other non-monetary relief, in each case, unless the indemnified party otherwise consents in writing. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one (1) counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party, a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such additional counsel or counsels.

Article IX
REGISTRATION, EXCHANGE AND REPLACEMENT OF NOTES
Section 1.1Registration of Notes. The Company shall keep at its principal executive office a register for the registration of issuances, transfers, and exchanges of the Notes and the Pre-Funded Warrants (the “Register”). The Register shall contain the names and addresses of the Person in whose name the Notes and the Pre-Funded Warrants have been issued (including the name and address of each permitted transferee), the amount of Pre-Funded Warrants, and the principal amounts, PIK Interest payments, and accrued and unpaid interest owing to each Holder pursuant to the terms hereof and under the Notes from time to time. The entries and calculations in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Company and the Holders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Holder hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Holder at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
Section 1.2Transfer and Exchange of Notes. Upon request by a Holder of a Note or Pre-Funded Warrant, and such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.2, the Company shall register the transfer or exchange of the Note or the Pre-Funded Warrant. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder shall present or surrender to the Company the Notes or Pre-Funded Warrants duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing. In addition, the requesting Holder shall provide (i) an opinion of counsel to such Holder in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration of such transfer or exchange is not required under the Securities Act and (ii) any additional certifications, documents, and information, as applicable, required pursuant to the following provisions of this Section 9.2. Each such new Note or new Pre-Funded Warrant shall be payable to such Person as such Holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of note or form of pre-funded warrant specified for the Notes and Pre-Funded Warrants hereunder. Each such new Note or Pre-Funded Warrant shall be dated and (in the case of a Note) bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.
(a)Limited Transferability of Notes and Pre-Funded Warrants. No Holder may offer, sell, or otherwise transfer any Notes or Pre-Funded Warrants except to an Affiliate of such Holder or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and, in each case, any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and any other applicable jurisdiction and subject to the approval of the Company.
(b)Note Purchase Agreement Legend. Each Note and Pre-Funded Warrant (and all Notes and Pre-Funded Warrants issued in exchange therefor or substitution therefor) shall bear the legend in substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC. THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THE NOTES/PRE-FUNDED WARRANTS ARE SUBJECT IN ALL RESPECTS TO THE RESTRICTIONS IN THE NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT.
(c)Common Stock Legend. Until such time as the Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Notes or the Pre-Funded Warrants has been registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act, or the Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Notes or the Pre-Funded Warrants is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes will bear the following restrictive legend:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES

19

        Execution Version
UNDER SUCH ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER AND, IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SUCH ACT OR THE ISSUER HAS RECEIVED DOCUMENTATION REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT.
(d)General Provisions Relating to Transfer and Exchange.
(i)No service charge shall be made to the Holder for registration of the transfer or exchange of any Note or Pre-Funded Warrant, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar Governmental Authority charge payable in connection therewith.
(ii)All Notes or Pre-Funded Warrants issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange in Notes or Pre-Funded Warrants shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt (in the case of Notes), and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Notes or Pre-Funded Warrants surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder of a Note or Pre-Funded Warrant shall be entitled to receive confidential information of the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the entry by such Holder and the Company into a mutually agreeable confidentiality agreement with respect to such confidential information.
(iii)Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note or Pre-Funded Warrant, the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note or Pre-Funded Warrant is registered as the absolute owner of such Note or Pre-Funded Warrant for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest (in the case of Notes) and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.
(iv)All certifications, certificates, and opinions of counsel required to be submitted to the Company pursuant to this Section 9.2 to effectuate a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by electronic transmission.
Section 1.3Replacement of Notes and Pre-Funded Warrants. If any mutilated Note or Pre-Funded Warrant is surrendered to the Company, and the Company receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss, or theft of any Note or Pre-Funded Warrant, the Company shall issue a replacement Note or Pre-Funded Warrant. If required by the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Company to protect the Company and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note or Pre-Funded Warrant is replaced. Every replacement Note and Pre-Funded Warrant is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionally with all other Notes and Pre-Funded Warrants duly issued hereunder. The provisions of this Section 9.3 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Notes or Pre-Funded Warrants.
