FORM OF WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

For the Purchase of Up to [•] Shares of Common Stock

of

KLX ENERGY SERVICES HOLDINGS, INC.

1. Warrant. This Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (this “Warrant”), issued on March 12, 2025 (the “Issuance Date”), hereby certifies that, for value received by KLX Energy Services Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), [•], a [•] ( “Holder”), as registered owner of this Warrant, is entitled, at any time or from time to time on or after the Issuance Date and at or before 4:00 p.m., Central Time, on March 12, 2030 (the “Expiration Time”), but not thereafter, to subscribe for, purchase and receive, in whole or in part, up to [•] shares of Common Stock (as may be adjusted pursuant to Article 6, the “Warrant Shares”), at a price per Warrant Share of $0.01 (as may be adjusted pursuant to Article 6, the “Exercise Price”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

2. Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article 2 below.

2.1 Exercise Form. In order to exercise this Warrant, the form of Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Annex A (the “Exercise Form”) must be duly executed and completed and delivered to the Company in facsimile copy or e-mail attachment, together with this Warrant for the surrender and cancellation thereof (to the extent described below), and if a cash exercise is elected, payment of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares being purchased payable in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company or by certified check or official bank check (each date on which all such items are delivered to the Company, an “Exercise Date”). No ink-original Exercise Form shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Exercise Form be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of


Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. Any rights represented hereby that have not been exercised by the Expiration Time shall become and be void without further force or effect, and all rights to exercise this Warrant represented hereby shall cease and expire at the Expiration Time. If the date on which the Expiration Time is set to occur is not a Business Day, then the Expiration Time shall be deemed to be extended to 4:00 p.m., Central Time, on the next succeeding Business Day.

2.2 Cashless Exercise. Holder may elect in its sole discretion to exercise this Warrant through a cashless exercise in lieu of paying the Exercise Price in cash, pursuant to which Holder shall be entitled to receive the number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:

 

  

X =

  

Y (A-B)

  
           A     

Where  X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to Holder by the Company

Y = the number of Warrant Shares that Holder elects to purchase under this Warrant (as of the date of such calculation)

A = the Per Share Price (as of the date of such calculation)

B = the Exercise Price (as may be adjusted pursuant to Article 6).

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrant Shares may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrants. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to the foregoing sentence.

3. Delivery of Warrant Shares.

3.1 As promptly as reasonably practicable on or after an Exercise Date, and in any event within two (2) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to issue book-entry interests representing the number of Warrant Shares exercised on such Exercise Date to the account designated by Holder in the Exercise Form. Such issuance and delivery shall be made without charge to Holder for any issue or transfer tax (other than any such taxes in respect of any transfer by Holder to another person occurring contemporaneously therewith), Transfer Agent fee or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance, all of which such taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company.

3.2 Legend. Other than as provided below, the Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall bear a legend as follows:

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS, AND, IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, SUCH SECURITIES MAY ONLY BE TRANSFERRED IF THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED DOCUMENTATION REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.”

 

2


If this Warrant is exercised and (A) there is then an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to, or resale of the Warrant Shares by, Holder, or (B) the Warrant Shares are (x) eligible for resale by Holder pursuant to Rule 144 at the time of sale of such Warrant Shares or (y) eligible for resale by Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, then the Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system. The Company shall, at the request of Holder, promptly deliver all the necessary documentation to cause the Transfer Agent to promptly remove all restrictive legends from any of the Warrant Shares pursuant to the foregoing, and promptly deliver or cause its legal counsel to promptly deliver to the Transfer Agent the necessary legal opinions or instruction letters required by the Transfer Agent, if any, to promptly effectuate the foregoing, subject to receipt of customary representation letters from Holder and, if applicable, its broker.

4. Transfer.

4.1 General Restrictions. Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate (“Transfer”) this Warrant, in whole or in part, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and the terms of this Warrant. In order to make any Transfer, Holder must deliver to the Company the form of Notice of Transfer attached hereto as Annex B (the “Transfer Form”), duly executed and completed by Holder, together with this Warrant for the surrender and cancellation thereof and remit the payment of all transfer taxes, if any, payable in connection therewith. Within two (2) Business Days of the Company’s receipt of such Transfer Form, this Warrant and reasonably satisfactory evidence of the remittal of payment for all applicable transfer taxes, if any, the Company shall transfer the rights under this Warrant, in whole or in part, on the books of the Company, cancel this Warrant and execute and deliver a new warrant or warrants of like tenor to the appropriate Transferee(s) expressly evidencing the right to purchase the aggregate number of Warrant Shares Transferred pursuant to this Section 4.1 (subject to the execution thereof by such Transferee(s)) and, if applicable, to Holder in accordance with Section 5.1.

4.2 Restrictions Imposed by the Securities Act. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise hereof shall not be Transferred unless and until: (a) the Company has received an opinion of counsel for Holder reasonably acceptable to the Company that the securities may be transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the availability of which is established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company (provided that no such opinion of counsel shall be required in connection with sales of Warrant Shares under Rule 144 of the Securities Act); or (b) a registration statement or a post-effective amendment to a registration statement relating to the offer and sale of such securities has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the Commission and compliance with applicable state securities law has been established to the Company’s satisfaction, acting reasonably and in good faith.

5. New Warrants to be Issued.

5.1 Partial Exercise or Transfer. Subject to the restrictions in Article 4, this Warrant may be exercised or Transferred in whole or in part. In the event that the exercise or the Transfer hereof is in part only, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, together with the duly executed Exercise Form or Transfer Form, as applicable, and funds sufficient to pay any Exercise Price and/or transfer tax, the Company shall cause to be delivered to Holder without charge a new warrant of like tenor to this Warrant in the name of Holder evidencing the right of Holder to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder as to which this Warrant has not been exercised or Transferred (subject to Holder’s execution thereof).

5.2 Lost Certificate. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, including a certification by Holder thereof, and of reasonably satisfactory indemnification or the posting of a bond, the Company shall execute and deliver a new warrant of like tenor and date (subject to Holder’s execution thereof). Any such new warrant executed and delivered as a result of such loss, theft, mutilation or destruction shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation on the part of the Company.

6. Adjustments.

6.1 Adjustments to Number of Warrant Shares. In the event that the Company (a) pays a dividend in shares of Common Stock or makes a distribution in shares of Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent security payable in shares of Common Stock to holders of its outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivides (by any split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares Common Stock, or (c) combines (by any combination, reverse split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then the remaining number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant in full immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution, subdivision, or combination shall be proportionately adjusted such that Holder will thereafter receive upon exercise in full of this Warrant the aggregate number of Warrant Shares that Holder would have owned immediately following such action if this Warrant had been exercised in full immediately before the record date, if any, for such action. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.

6.2 Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 6.1 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants or securities or other property pro rata to all (or substantially all) of the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (“Purchase Rights”), then Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which Holder would have acquired if Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record date is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights.

6.3 Extraordinary Transactions. If the Company effects any Extraordinary Transaction, then upon consummation of such Extraordinary Transaction, this Warrant shall automatically become exercisable for the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets which Holder would have owned immediately after the consummation of such Extraordinary Transaction if Holder had exercised in full this Warrant immediately before the consummation of such Extraordinary Transaction. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon the consummation of such Extraordinary Transaction, then Holder shall be given the same choice as to such consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Extraordinary Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if this Section 6.3 applies to transaction, Section 6.1 shall not apply.

6.4 Adjustments to Exercise Price. Upon any adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant pursuant to this Article 6, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted concurrently therewith to equal the product of (a) the Exercise Price (as it may have been previously adjusted pursuant to this Section 6.4) and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Warrant Shares subject to issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant in full before giving effect to such adjustment, and the denominator of which is the total number of Warrant Shares subject to issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant as so adjusted pursuant to this Article 6.

 

4


6.5 No Changes in Form of Warrant. This Warrant need not be amended or modified because of any adjustment pursuant to this Article 6, and any Warrant issued after the occurrence of an event requiring an adjustment under this Article 6 may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of Warrant Shares as are stated in this Warrant, subject to Section 5.1. The acceptance by Holder of the issuance of any new warrant reflecting a required or permissive change shall not be deemed to waive any rights to an adjustment occurring after the Issuance Date or the computation thereof.

6.6 Elimination of Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of any fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up or down, as the case may be, to the nearest whole number of Warrant Shares or other securities, properties or rights.

7. Reservation; Listing. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, such number of Warrant Shares as shall be issuable upon the full exercise of this Warrant. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price therefor (whether in cash or by the cashless exercise procedure described in Section 2.2), in accordance with the terms hereof, all Warrant Shares and other securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Warrant Shares shall be issued at less than their par value. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause all Warrant Shares to be approved for listing, subject to official notice of issuance, on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock has been listed.

8. Registration Requirements.

8.1 The Company agrees that, within 90 calendar days following the Issuance Date, the Company shall file with the Commission a shelf registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the Warrant Shares on a delayed and continuous basis, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter and maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until the earlier of such time as (a) all of the Warrant Shares have been sold thereunder and (b) all of the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale without restriction and without the need for current public information pursuant to Rule 144(b) under the Securities Act; provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to include the resale of the Warrant Shares in the Registration Statement is contingent upon Holder furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding Holder, the securities of the Company held by Holder and the intended method of disposition of the Warrant Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Warrant Shares, and executing such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to the registration of the Warrant Shares but Holder shall pay any and all underwriting commissions and the expenses of any legal counsel selected by Holder to represent it in connection with the sale of the Warrant Shares.

8.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may, upon written notice to Holder, (a) delay the filing of the Registration Statement, (b) delay requesting effectiveness of such Registration Statement or (c) if such Registration Statement has already become effective, suspend the use of any prospectus which is a part of the Registration Statement if the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such use or filing would: (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate organization, financing, securities offering or other similar transaction involving the Company or its subsidiaries; (ii) require premature disclosure of material non-public information regarding the Company and its subsidiaries (“Non-Public Information”) that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to materially comply with requirements under the Securities Act or the

 

5


Exchange Act (each of items (a) through (c) above, an “Allowed Delay”); provided that the Company shall promptly (A) notify Holder in writing of the commencement of an Allowed Delay, and (B) advise Holder in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of such Allowed Delay (in which event Holder shall discontinue sales of Warrant Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement but Holder may settle any contracted sales of Warrant Shares), in both cases which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding the Company; provided, further, that in no event shall the Company delay or suspend under this Section 8.2 for a period that, in aggregate, exceeds 90 calendar days during any 180-day period or 120 calendar days during any 365-day period. Upon notice by the Company to Holder of any determination to delay the filing of the Registration Statement, delay requesting effectiveness of the Registration Statement or suspend the use of any prospectus which is a part of the Registration Statement, Holder shall keep the fact of any such suspension strictly confidential and shall not use or disclose such notice or information to any Person other than Holder’s legal counsel or as required by applicable Law. Upon disclosure of such information or the termination of the condition described above, the Company shall provide prompt notice to Holder and shall promptly terminate any suspension of sales it has put into effect and shall take such other actions to permit registered sales of Warrant Shares as contemplated in this Article 8.

8.3 The Company shall promptly advise Holder: (A) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; (B) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information; (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (D) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Warrant Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (E) subject to the provisions in this Warrant, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not, when so advising Holder of such events, provide Holder with any Non-Public Information other than to the extent that providing notice to Holder of the occurrence of the events listed in clauses (A) through (E) above constitutes Non-Public Information or subjects the Holder to any duty of confidentiality. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement if such order should be issued. Except for such times as the Company is permitted under this Warrant to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement as contemplated by this Warrant, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable and as applicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Warrant Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

8.4 The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by Law, Holder, its directors, and officers, employees, and agents, and each Person who controls Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and each Affiliate of Holder (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act), to the extent Holder is a seller under the Registration Statement, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any

 

6


Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Holder expressly for use therein. Holder agrees, in connection with any Registration Statement under which Holder is a seller, severally and not jointly with any other Holder, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained (or not contained, in the case of an omission) in any information or affidavit so furnished by or on behalf of Holder expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of Holder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Holder upon the sale of the Warrant Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Any Person entitled to indemnification herein 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 prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent. An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. The indemnification provided for under this Warrant shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, employee, agent, Affiliate or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Warrant or Warrant Shares. If the indemnification provided under this Article 8 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made (or not made, in the case of an omission) by, or relates to information supplied (or not supplied, in the case of an omission) by or on behalf of, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Article 8, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection

 

7


with any investigation or proceeding. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Article 8 from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Any contribution pursuant to this Article 8 by any seller of Warrant Shares shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Warrant Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will any party be liable for consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages in connection with this Warrant.
