GeoStream in a two-stage transaction. The Master Agreement also provides for an
option beginning two years after the initial closing for KESC to purchase
additional equity in GeoStream, as well as certain requirements at the fourth
and sixth anniversaries of the initial closing for KESC to either purchase
additional shares in GeoStream or to arrange an initial public offering for such
shares.
The first stage of the transaction closed on October 31, 2008, at which time
KESC acquired a 26% interest in GeoStream for cash consideration of
approximately 12.0 million Euros (approximately U.S. $17.4 million). Upon
completion of the second closing on September 1, 2009, KESC acquired the
additional 24% of GeoStream for cash consideration of approximately 11.3 million

the governing bodies of each member of the GeoStream Group.
Equipment Sale to GeoStream
Concurrently with the second closing under the Master Agreement, Key Energy
Pressure Pumping Services, LLC, a Texas limited liability company and
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("KEPPS"), and GK Drilling Tools Leasing
Company Ltd., a Cyprus company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of GeoStream ("GK
Drilling"), entered into a Master Equipment Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated
September 1, 2009 (the "Sale Agreement"), and executed seven Addenda to such
agreement, each also dated September 1, 2009 (each, an "Addendum" and,
collectively, the "Addenda"). Pursuant to the Sale Agreement and Addenda, GK
Drilling has agreed to purchase certain equipment from KEPPS between September
and December 2009, including two workover rigs, two drilling rigs, cementing
equipment and fishing tools for approximately $23.0 million, as well as a
preliminarily identified third drilling rig for an additional estimated
$4.4 million.
The Sale Agreement and Addenda provide that approximately $10.5 million of the
purchase price related to two of the drilling rigs will be seller-financed. This
seller-financed amount will be represented by one or more interest bearing
promissory notes issued by GK Drilling in favor of KEPPS. The promissory notes
will be payable in equal annual installments over an approximate five and half
year period, with the balance of principal and interest due on the sixth
anniversary of issuance.
The remainder of the purchase price for the equipment is payable by GK Drilling
in cash. Approximately 11.3 million Euros is held by KEPPS as earnest money for
this portion of the purchase price. Other than the amount being seller-financed,
upon delivery of the equipment set forth in each Addendum and the satisfaction
of certain other conditions set forth in the Sale Agreement, the purchase price
for the equipment will be first credited against the earnest money, and any
remaining balance will then be payable in cash directly by GK Drilling to KEPPS.
The purchase price for all equipment under the Sale Agreement and Addenda is in
U.S. Dollars, and the amount credited against the earnest money will be based on
the Euro to U.S. Dollar exchange rate on the date of each equipment's delivery.
