This Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Annual Report”) includes certain statements that may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”). Statements contained in all parts of this Annual Report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties that are beyond the control of Innovex International, Inc. (“Innovex”, the “Company” or “we”). You can identify the Company’s
forward-looking statements by the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “project,” “believe” and similar expressions, or by the Company’s
discussion of strategies or trends. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no
assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements include the following types of information and
statements as they relate to the Company:
•
risks related to the Merger (as defined herein) and the acquisition of DWS (as defined herein), including the ultimate outcome and results of
integrating operations; the effects of the Merger and the acquisition of DWS, including the Company’s future financial condition, results of
operations, strategy and plans; potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the completion of the Merger and
the acquisition of DWS; expected benefits from the Merger and the acquisition of DWS and the ability of the Company to realize those benefits;
the significant costs required to integrate operations; whether Merger or acquisition related litigation will occur and, if so, the results of any
litigation, settlements and investigations;
•
the impact of general economic conditions, including inflationary pressures and interest rates, a general economic slowdown or recession or
instability in financial institutions, on economic activity and on our operations;
•
future operating results and cash flow;
•
scheduled, budgeted and other future capital expenditures;
•
planned or estimated cost savings;
•
working capital requirements;
•
the need for and the availability of expected sources of liquidity;
•

effects of pending or future legal proceedings;
•
the effects of existing and future laws and governmental regulations (or the interpretation thereof) on us and our customers;
•
changes in customers’ future product and service requirements that may not be cost effective or within the Company’s capabilities; and
•
future operations, financial results, business plans and cash needs.
These statements are based on assumptions and analysis in light of the Company’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions,
expected future developments and other factors the Company believes were appropriate in the circumstances when the statements were made. Forward-looking
statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could significantly impact expected results, and actual future results could differ
materially from those described in such statements. While it is not possible to identify all factors, the Company continues to face many risks and uncertainties.
Among the factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially are the risks and uncertainties discussed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this
Annual Report and in other filings made by us from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Many of such factors are beyond the
Company’s ability to control or predict. Any of the factors, or a combination of these factors, could materially affect the Company’s future results of operations
and the ultimate accuracy of the forward-looking statements. Management cautions against putting undue reliance on forward-looking statements or projecting
any future results based on such statements or present or prior earnings levels. Every forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular
statement, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement except as may be required by law.

PART I
Item 1. Business.
General
Innovex designs, manufactures, sells and rents mission critical engineered products to the global oil and natural gas industry. Our vision has been to
create a global leader in well-centric products and technologies through organic, customer-linked innovations and disciplined acquisitions to drive leading
returns for our investors.
On September 6, 2024, the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement (as defined in “Recent Developments” within “Item 7. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”) between Innovex Downhole Solutions, Inc. (“Legacy Innovex”) and Dril-Quip, Inc.
(“Dril-Quip”) (the “Merger”) were consummated. Following the Merger, Legacy Innovex became a wholly owned subsidiary of Dril-Quip, and the name “Dril-
Quip, Inc.” was changed to “Innovex International, Inc.”. In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the outstanding shares of common stock, par
value $0.01 per share, of Legacy Innovex (the “Legacy Innovex Common Stock”) were converted into the right to receive 32,183,966 shares of common stock,
par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”). The number of shares of Company Common Stock received for each share of
Legacy Innovex Common Stock by the Legacy Innovex shareholders was equal to 2.0125.
On November 29, 2024, Innovex acquired 80% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Downhole Well Solutions, LLC (“DWS”). The
acquisition was completed simultaneously with the signing of the Equity Purchase Agreement on November 29, 2024. The aggregate purchase price for the
acquisition consisted of $75.1 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments, and 1,918,558 shares of Company Common Stock. The remaining 20% of
the issued and outstanding equity securities of DWS were previously owned by Legacy Innovex, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
For information with respect to the Merger and DWS acquisition, see Note 3. Mergers and Acquisitions to our Consolidated Financial Statements
included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Our products are used across the lifecycle of the well (during the construction, completion, production and intervention phases) and are typically
utilized downhole and consumable in nature. Our products perform a critical well function, and we believe they are chosen due to their reliability and capacity
to save our customers time and lower costs during the well lifecycle. We believe that our products have a significant impact on a well’s performance and
economic profile relative to the price we charge, creating a “Big Impact, Small Ticket” value proposition. Prior to the Merger, we believe our total addressable
market (or “TAM”) in 2023 was $4.5 billion, consisting of a $2.1 billion addressable market in NAM (as defined herein) and a $2.4 billion market in our
International & Offshore regions. Following the Merger, we were able to grow our addressable market both in our NAM and International and Offshore markets
by expanding our product portfolio and gaining access to additional international markets. Pro forma for the Merger, we estimate that our TAM for our
applicable products in 2024 was $8.3 billion, consisting of a $3.6 billion TAM for NAM and a $4.7 billion TAM for our applicable products across
International & Offshore regions. Please see “Business—Market Share Capture” for an explanation of how we calculate our TAM. Many of our products can be
used in a significant portion of our customers’ wells globally, with our most advanced products providing mission critical solutions for some of the most
challenging and complex wells in the world. We have a track record of developing proprietary products to address our customers’ evolving needs, and we
maintain an active pipeline of potential new products across various stages of development. Our business is high margin and capital-light, enabling us to
generate strong returns on invested capital. We have a disciplined history of successfully sourcing and integrating strategic acquisitions.
The U.S. and Canadian onshore (“NAM”) market made up approximately 55% of our 2024 revenue, while the international and offshore
(“International and Offshore”) markets constituted 45%. Within the NAM market, we have a strong presence in the United States and a growing presence in
Canada. Revenue is based on the location where services are provided and products are sold.
The Company makes available, free of charge on its website, its Annual Report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q (in both HTML
and iXBRL formats), current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as

Charter, and Compensation Committee Charter. Changes in or waivers to the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethical Practices involving directors
and executive officers of the Company will be posted on its website.
Overview and Industry Outlook
The NAM market is core to us, and we maintain a robust sales and distribution infrastructure across the region. Our products have broad applicability
in this market, particularly for horizontal or unconventional wells that have become prevalent methods of oil and natural gas development across the region. We
are focused on significantly increasing our revenue in the International and Offshore markets as these regions are typically subject to long-cycle investment
horizons and exhibit relatively less cyclicality than the NAM market. The Middle East, and in particular Saudi Arabia, has been a key source of growth for the
Company. We also operate across Asia, Latin America, Europe and the Gulf of Mexico, among other regions. To enhance our global reach, we have
complemented our locations across these markets with a network of strategic distribution, sales and manufacturing partners.
We are an innovator and have a development process and culture focused on creating proprietary products for our customers. We seek to work with
our customers to solve their operational challenges. We believe that these collaborations have been a source of growth as they have allowed us to develop new
products with anchor customers that have served as an initial revenue base from which to scale. We have a unique culture that we view as having been critical to
our success in the commercialization of new products. We define our culture as “No Barriers.” Our goal is to remove internal barriers that slow the pace of
innovation and empower our employees to be responsive to our customers’ needs, while maintaining a focus on returns for the Company. As a result of our
culture and our commitment to customer responsiveness, we believe that we are more agile and able to innovate faster than our larger competitors.
Based on our TAM estimates, we believe that we are uniquely positioned to grow market share within larger addressable markets after the Merger
with Dril-Quip. On a pro forma basis, including both the revenue and additional market share relating to the Merger and the DWS acquisition, we estimate that
our NAM market share in 2024 was 13% and that our International and Offshore market share was 12%. We estimate that Innovex has grown market share
since inception and believe we are well positioned to continue to capture market share across our geographic markets. In particular, we view the International
and Offshore markets as a significant growth opportunity.
Our organic growth has been complemented by a disciplined acquisition strategy. We view acquisitions as a core competency and have identified a
rich opportunity set of acquisition targets that we believe are seeking to transact. We aim to execute a disciplined acquisition strategy for high-quality
opportunities that meet our stringent investment criteria, as evidenced by the Merger with Dril-Quip and our acquisition of DWS.
We have a broad customer base, ranging from the largest international oil companies (“IOCs”), national oil companies (“NOCs”) and exploration and
production (“E&P”) companies to multinational and regional oilfield service companies. Once a new product has been commercialized or acquired, our global
sales and distribution infrastructure enables us to scale and drive customer adoption quickly.
We believe that we can create value for our stockholders across the industry cycle and view our through-cycle playbook as having helped us
outperform in all market environments. We prioritize protecting the long-term health of the Company through investments in research and development
(“R&D”) and sustaining engineering in our existing portfolio in all market environments. We seek to maintain a conservative balance sheet to preserve
operational and financial flexibility through the industry cycle.
We generate our revenue from three primary sources: sales of products and other associated revenues with product sales, such as freight; rentals of
tools that are used to deploy our consumable products or to provide a critical well function; and services that are typically connected to the well-site deployment
of our engineered products.
Of our 2024 revenue, approximately 80% was generated from product sales, approximately 8% was generated from rental tools and approximately
12% was generated from services.
7
We believe that demand for our products is primarily activity-driven (i.e., correlated with global spending on exploration and production of oil and
natural gas and with general industry activity), and we are not exposed to the highly cyclical capital equipment build cycle for the oil and natural gas industry.
Global spending on oil and natural gas can be measured by the number of wells drilled and oil and natural gas production volumes. According to the global
energy consulting firm Rystad Energy, global E&P capital spending (excluding Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Russia and China) is expected to remain consistent in
2025 relative to 2024. We believe that our diverse product portfolio, operating track record and global footprint position us well to continue gaining market
share.
In the NAM market, Rystad Energy is forecasting a slight decline in E&P capital spending of 2% from 2024 through 2025. NAM unconventional
resources have emerged as a flexible, short-cycle source of oil and natural gas production for E&P operators and a critical component of the global hydrocarbon
supply mix. This is a core market for us as our products have broad applicability and we maintain a robust sales presence as well as service and distribution
infrastructure across the region. We view the NAM market as relatively service intensive and believe E&P operators are prone to adopt the latest technologies.
In the International and Offshore markets, Rystad Energy is forecasting E&P capital spending to slightly grow by 2% from 2024 through 2025,
excluding Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Russia and China. We are focused on continually increasing our market presence in these regions as they are typically subject
to long-cycle investment horizons and exhibit relatively less cyclicality than the NAM market. In addition, we believe that we can benefit from higher barriers
to entry that exist for product and service companies that support the primary end users in our International and Offshore markets, IOCs and NOCs, relative to
the NAM market.
We continue to monitor the current global economic environment, specifically including inflationary pressures, the ability and/or desire of OPEC+
and other producing nations to set and maintain production levels and prices, and the macroeconomic impact of the conflicts in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip, and
any resulting impacts on our financial position and results of operations. Refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” for additional information.
Market Share Capture
We believe that we are well positioned to capture market share across our applicable markets.
We calculate TAM by multiplying the number of applicable wells (as provided by Rystad Energy) for each market where we expect it would be
reasonable for Innovex to seek to sell products by an illustrative price per applicable product by geography. In markets where well data is unavailable, we
provide an estimated market size for each such geography.
We estimate that our TAM for our applicable products across the NAM market in 2024, including the impact of the Merger and the DWS acquisition,
was approximately $3.6 billion and on a pro forma basis we generated approximately $491 million in revenue during 2024, implying a market share of 13%.
Our addressable market grew substantially year over year, but market share declined largely due to the addition of the US Land Wellhead market in which we
have a de minimis market share to but are focused on expanding. Over time our dedicated sales force, innovative engineering organization and responsive
service culture have enabled us to capture more of our customers’ spend on their oil and natural gas well development, defined as “wallet share,” as well as gain
new customers.
We believe we are well positioned to continue to capture more of our growing TAM and increase our implied market share. Across both the United
States and Canada, we believe that there are many opportunities to cross sell our products throughout our diverse customer base and enhance our presence in
select oil and natural gas basins.
Within the International and Offshore markets, we have well established sales and distribution channels across our geographic markets, such as the
Middle East, Asia, Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Gulf of Mexico and throughout other global regions. We estimate that the TAM on a pro forma basis for
our applicable products across these regions in 2024, including the impact of the Merger and the DWS acquisition, was approximately $4.7 billion and on a pro
forma basis we generated approximately $548 million in revenue, implying a market share of approximately 12%. In addition to benefiting from the Merger, we
believe that we were able to grow our market share by utilizing our sales and distribution channels to capture wallet share and push further into geographies
where we were underrepresented.
Our Technology Development Process and Product Portfolio
We view our new technology development and ongoing product advancement initiatives as key to our strategy and believe that we have a repeatable
process to drive organic product innovation to meet our customers’ well design needs. We maintain an engineering team that is focused on R&D as well as
ongoing product enhancements. The engineering team is based in Houston, Texas
8
and has representatives that sit across our global offices. Having a presence near our customers enables us to better understand their challenges, which helps
identify and prioritize our market opportunities and maximizes the value of our engineering resources. Our products are used across the lifecycle of our
customers’ wells. We believe that we are not dependent on any single technology. We are a single point of contact for many of our customers’ needs. Our
product offerings position us to support our customers in solving a range of well-site challenges and diversify our revenue base.
New product development is a key part of our organic growth strategy. We seek to expand our addressable market by introducing new products to
our portfolio. Once a new product has been commercialized, we believe that our global sales and distribution infrastructure enable us to scale and drive
customer adoption quickly. We have an active pipeline of new initiatives across various stages of development.
Across the NAM market, we are pursuing various initiatives related to new product development, including specialty, high-margin products that
complement our existing product families, among others. These products have applicability across various International and Offshore markets, and we will seek
to leverage our global infrastructure and customer relationships to drive sales outside of the NAM market once full commercialization has been achieved.
Within the International and Offshore markets, we are in active conversations with IOCs and NOCs regarding several newly developed products for
the global deepwater and offshore markets. Historically, our customer collaborations have been a source of growth as they have allowed us to develop new
products to meet customer needs and have provided us with an initial revenue base from which to scale market adoption.
We believe that we have curated a portfolio of product families and brands that in aggregate has created brand equity in Innovex.
Intellectual Property and Trade Secrets
Our success depends in part upon our ability to maintain and protect our proprietary technology and conduct our business without infringing the
proprietary rights of others. We rely on a combination of patents, licensing agreements, trade secrets protections, trademarks, copyrights and contractual
restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. We undertake a strategic intellectual property effort focused on building a leading and
defensible portfolio.
We have created a large portfolio of patent properties. As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately 829 U.S. and international patents. Our
patent properties cover our inventions related to our products and other technologies.
We complement our intellectual property portfolio with trade secrets. We are focused on solving our customers’ challenges through direct interface
and customized solutions. This process is enhanced by our team’s deep experience in the markets in which they operate as well as their extensive knowledge
base of product designs, run history and configurations.
We do not know whether our current patent portfolio, or any future patent applications that we may file, will result in a patent being issued with the
scope of the claims we seek, or at all, or whether any patents we may receive will be challenged or invalidated. Even if additional patents are issued, our patents
might not provide sufficiently broad coverage to protect our proprietary rights or to avoid a third-party claim against one or more of our products or
technologies. Refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Technology Advancement” for additional information regarding these and other risks related
to our intellectual property portfolio and their potential effect on us.
The term of individual patents depends on the legal term for patents in the countries in which they are granted. In most countries, including the
United States, the patent term is generally 20 years from the earliest claimed filing date of a nonprovisional patent application in the applicable country. Once a
patent expires, the protection ends, and the claimed invention enters the public domain; that is, anyone can commercially exploit the invention without
infringing the patent.
We also rely upon trademarks to build and maintain the integrity of our brand. We have trademarks registered in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.
We protect our proprietary rights through a variety of methods, including confidentiality and assignment agreements with suppliers, employees,
consultants and others who may have access to our proprietary information. We routinely require our employees, customers, suppliers, consultants, advisors and
potential business partners to enter into confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements before we disclose to them any sensitive or proprietary information
regarding our products, technology or business plans.
9
We require employees, while employed with us, to assign to us all inventions, original works of authorship, mask works, developments, discoveries, concepts,
improvements, designs, discoveries, ideas, trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property they conceive, discover, create, develop or reduce to
practice.
Marketing and Sales
We principally sell or market directly to the ultimate end user of our products, the E&P operator. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023,
we had 1,376 and 1,485, respectively, unique customers that have made at least one purchase in the preceding 12-month period, or active customers. In 2024,
our top ten accounts constituted 35% of revenue. Our top ten customer list includes: NOCs such as Saudi Aramco (our largest end-user in 2024); IOCs such as
Exxon, Chevron, BP and ConocoPhillips; leading independent E&P operators such as Occidental Petroleum, Hess Corporation and EOG Resources; and
multinational oilfield service companies such as Schlumberger and Baker Hughes. When we sell to service companies, it is typically to fill a gap in their product
portfolio or because they have been directed by the E&P operator to utilize our products. Our goal is to develop products that exhibit clear value creation upside
for our customers, including the ultimate end user of our products, typically by saving time and costs during the well lifecycle, while also reducing operational
risks. We operate an integrated business model, whereby we design, engineer, manufacture, sell, rent and supervise the onsite deployment of our products.
Suppliers and Raw Materials
We acquire component parts, services and raw materials from various suppliers, including machining service providers. The prices we pay for our
raw materials may be affected by, among other things, energy, steel and other commodity prices, tariffs and duties on imported materials and foreign currency
exchange rates. Most of the raw materials we use in our manufacturing operations, such as steel in various forms, magnesium and composite
materials/elastomers, are available from many sources. Although our relationships with our existing vendors are important to us, we do not believe that we are
substantially dependent on any individual vendor to supply our required materials or services. The materials and services essential to our business are normally
readily available and, where we use one or a few vendors as a source of any particular materials or services, we believe that we can within a reasonable period
of time make satisfactory alternative arrangements in the event of an interruption of supply from any vendor. We believe that our materials and services vendors
have the capacity to meet additional demand, should we require it.
Manufacturing
To support our global operations, we operate a flexible manufacturing and supply chain model that balances responsiveness with cost and efficiency.
We maintain internal manufacturing and production facilities in Humble, Texas; Houston, Texas; Mineral Wells, Texas; Amelia, Louisiana; Aberdeen,
Scotland; Singapore; Macae, Brazil; Edmonton, Canada, Bac Ninh, Vietnam (acquired in February of 2025) and Dammam, Saudi Arabia. These facilities are
co-located with our engineering teams, where deemed appropriate, to enable rapid prototyping, testing and designing iterations of new products and enhancing
our existing products. We supplement our internal manufacturing with a responsive network of third-party machining resources in the United States to enhance
our capital efficiency. We also maintain strategic relationships with multiple, low-cost manufacturing partners in Asia, and in particular Vietnam, to support our
highest volume products.
These relationships allow us to achieve a competitive cost structure, while preserving high levels of product quality and customer responsiveness.
Going forward, we envision increasing our spend with our low-cost international vendors with an aim of improving our margins and enhancing our
competitiveness.
Competition
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive. To be successful, we must provide services and products that meet the specific needs of our
customers at competitive prices. We compete in all areas of our operations with a number of companies, some of which have financial and other resources
greater than or comparable to ours. Our major competitors across our product lines include Baker Hughes, Halliburton, Schlumberger, TechnipFMC,
Weatherford International, Aker Solutions, and NOV.
We believe that the most significant factors influencing our customers’ decision to utilize our products and services are our technology, service
quality, safety track record and price. While we must be competitive in our pricing, we believe our customers select our products and services based on the
technical attributes of our products and equipment, the level of technical and operational service we provide before, during and after the job and the know-how
derived from our extensive operational track record.
10
Cyclicality
We are substantially dependent on conditions in the oil and natural gas industry, including the level of exploration, development and production
activity of, and the corresponding capital spending by, E&P operators. The level of exploration, development and production activity is directly affected by
trends in oil and natural gas prices, which historically have been volatile.
Declines, as well as anticipated declines, in oil and natural gas prices could negatively affect the level of these activities and capital spending, which
could adversely affect demand for our products and services and, in certain instances, result in the cancellation, modification or rescheduling of existing and
expected orders and the ability of our customers to pay us for our products and services. These factors could have an adverse effect on our revenue and
profitability.
Human Capital Management
Our employees are a critical asset which are key to our innovative culture and overall success. We are focused on our high-performance culture
through attracting, engaging, developing, retaining and rewarding top talent. We strive to enhance the economic and social well-being of our employees and the
communities in which we operate. We are committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive environment for our workforce. As a global company, we seek to hire
locally and employ a workforce that is representative of the end markets in which we operate. We believe that we have been successful in part due to our No
Barriers culture as we believe our culture attracts and retains top industry talent and has been a key ingredient in the success we have achieved. We promote a
culture of innovation and seek to incentivize our employees to create value for our organization. We believe that our culture is unique for the oil and natural gas
industry, and we will seek to remain an employer of choice for top talent.
As of December 31, 2024, we had a total of 2,683 employees. Substantially all of the Company’s employees are not covered by collective bargaining
agreements, and the Company considers its employee relations to be good.
The health, safety, and well-being of our employees is of the utmost importance. We are one of the leaders in our industry with a strong track record
in safety.
We provide employees the option to participate in health and welfare plans, including medical, dental, life, accidental death and dismemberment and
short-term and long-term disability insurance plans.
Environmental, Health and Safety Regulation
Our operations and those of our customers are subject to domestic (including U.S. federal, state and local) and international laws and regulations with
regard to air, land and water quality and other environmental matters. Numerous federal, state and local governmental agencies, such as the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (“EPA”), issue laws and regulations that often require difficult and costly compliance measures that carry substantial administrative, civil
and criminal penalties and may result in injunctive obligations for non-compliance. These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit before
commencing operations, restrict the types, quantities and concentrations of various substances that can be released into the environment in connection with our
operations, limit or prohibit construction or drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands, ecologically or seismically sensitive areas and
other protected areas, require action to prevent or remediate pollution from current or former operations, result in the suspension or revocation of necessary
permits, licenses and authorizations, require that additional pollution controls be installed and impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from our
operations or related to our owned or operated facilities. Liability under such laws and regulations is often strict (i.e., no showing of “fault” is required) and can
be joint and several. Moreover, it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage
allegedly caused by the release of hazardous substances, hydrocarbons or other waste products into the environment. Changes in environmental laws and
regulations occur frequently, and any changes that result in more stringent and costly pollution control or waste handling, storage, transport, disposal or cleanup
requirements could materially adversely affect our operations and financial position, as well as those of our customers and the oil and natural gas industry in
general. We have not experienced any material adverse effect from compliance with these requirements. This trend, however, may not continue in the future.
Changes in standards of enforcement of existing laws and regulations, as well as the enactment and enforcement of new legislation, may require us and our
customers to modify, supplement or replace equipment or facilities or to change or discontinue present methods of operation. Our environmental compliance
expenditures, our capital costs for environmental control equipment and the market for our products may change accordingly.
11
Hazardous Substances and Waste Handling. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) and comparable state statutes, regulate the
generation, transportation, treatment, storage, disposal and cleanup of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. Under the auspices of the EPA, the individual states
administer some or all of the provisions of RCRA, sometimes in conjunction with their own, more stringent requirements. We are required to manage the
transportation, storage and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes generated by our operations in compliance with applicable laws, including RCRA.
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), also known as the Superfund law, imposes joint and
several liability, without regard to fault or legality of conduct, on classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a hazardous
substance into the environment. These persons include the current and former owner or operator of the site where the release occurred, and anyone who
disposed of or arranged for the disposal of a hazardous substance released at the site. We currently own, lease, or operate numerous properties used for
manufacturing and other operations. In the event of a release from these properties, under CERCLA, RCRA and analogous state laws, we could be required to
remove substances and wastes, remediate contaminated property, or perform remedial operations to prevent future contamination, even if the releases are not
from our operations. In addition, neighboring landowners and other third parties may also file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused
by releases into the environment. Any obligations to undertake remedial operations in the future may increase our cost of doing business and may have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Water Discharges. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act (the “Clean Water Act”) and analogous state laws restrict and control the discharge of
pollutants into “Waters of the United States.” Discharges to water associated with our operations require appropriate permits from state agencies and may add
material costs to our operations. The adoption of more stringent criteria in the future may also increase our costs of operation. The Clean Water Act and
analogous state laws provide administrative, civil and criminal penalties for unauthorized discharges and, together with the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, impose
rigorous requirements for spill prevention and response planning, as well as substantial potential liability for the costs of removal, remediation, and damages in
connection with any unauthorized discharges. The scope of waters regulated under the Clean Water Act has fluctuated in recent years. In January 2023, the EPA
and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers finalized a rule that expanded the scope of waters subject to Clean Water Act jurisdiction. In May 2023, the U.S. Supreme
Court narrowed the EPA’s regulation of wetlands under the Clean Water Act and, in September 2023, the EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers published
a final rule conforming their regulations to the decision. However, to the extent the EPA or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers broadly interpret their
jurisdiction, a more expansive approach to the range of properties subject to the Clean Water Act’s jurisdiction may cause a material adverse effect on the
operation costs of customers, thereby potentially reducing demand for our products.
Air Emissions.
The federal Clean Air Act (“CAA”), as amended, and comparable state laws and regulations, regulate emissions of various air
pollutants through the issuance of permits and the imposition of other requirements. The EPA has developed, and continues to develop, stringent regulations
governing emissions of air pollutants at specified sources. New facilities may be required to obtain permits before work can begin, and existing facilities may be
required to obtain additional permits and incur capital costs in order to remain in compliance. These laws and regulations may increase the costs of compliance
for some facilities we own or operate, and federal and state regulatory agencies can impose administrative, civil and criminal penalties for non-compliance with
air permits or other requirements of the federal CAA and associated state laws and regulations. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with all
applicable air emissions regulations and that we hold all necessary and valid construction and operating permits for our operations.
Employee Health and Safety.
We are subject to a number of federal and state laws and regulations, including OSHA and comparable state
statutes, establishing requirements to protect the health and safety of workers. In addition, the OSHA hazard communication standard, the EPA community
right-to-know regulations under Title III of the federal Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act and comparable state statutes require that information
be maintained concerning hazardous materials used or produced in our operations and that this information be provided to employees, state and local
government authorities and the public. Substantial fines and penalties can be imposed and orders or injunctions limiting or prohibiting certain operations may be
issued in connection with any failure to comply with laws and regulations relating to worker health and safety. As of December 31, 2024, we were in
compliance with laws and regulations relating to worker health and safety.
Climate Change. International, national and state governments and agencies are currently evaluating and/or promulgating legislation and
regulations that are focused on restricting GHG emissions. These regulatory measures include, among others, adoption of cap and trade regimes, carbon taxes,
increased efficiency standards and incentives or mandates for renewable energy. Consideration of further legislation or regulation may be impacted by the Paris
Agreement, which was announced by the parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in December 2015 and which calls on
signatories to set progressive GHG emission reduction goals. Although the United States withdrew from the Paris Agreement effective November 4, 2020,
President Biden issued an Executive Order on January 20, 2021 to rejoin the Paris Agreement, which went into effect on February 19, 2021. On April 21, 2021,
the United States announced that it was setting an economy-wide target of reducing its GHG emissions by 50-52% below 2005 levels in 2030. In November
2021, in connection with the 26th Conference of the Parties in
12
Glasgow, Scotland, the United States and other world leaders made further commitments to reduce GHG emissions, including reducing global methane
emissions by at least 30% by 2030 from 2020 levels. More than 150 countries have now signed on to this pledge. Recently, at the 28th Conference of the Parties
in the United Arab Emirates, world leaders agreed to transition away from fossil fuels in a just, orderly and equitable manner and to triple renewables and
double energy efficiency globally by 2030. Additionally, the Biden Administration announced a new climate target for the United States on December 19, 2024,
which includes a 61-66% reduction in economy-wide net GHG emissions by 2035, as compared to 2005 levels. Furthermore, many state and local leaders have
stated their intent to intensify efforts to support the international climate commitments. Though President Trump issued an executive order on January 20, 2025,
directing the United States Ambassador to the United Nations to immediately withdraw from the Paris Agreement, these commitments could further reduce
demand and prices for fossil fuels.
In 2021 and 2022, President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act (the “IRA”), which contain
billions of dollars in incentives for the development of renewable energy, clean hydrogen, clean fuels, electric vehicles, investments in advanced biofuels and
supporting infrastructure and carbon capture and sequestration, among other provisions. Also, in March 2024, the EPA finalized ambitious rules to reduce
harmful air pollutant emissions, including greenhouse gases, from light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles beginning in model year 2027. These incentives and
regulations could accelerate the transition of the economy away from the use of fossil fuels towards lower- or zero-carbon emissions alternatives, which could
decrease demand for, and, in turn, the prices of, the oil and natural gas, which could have a material and adverse impact on demand for our products. In
addition, the IRA imposes the first ever federal fee on the emission of GHGs through a methane emissions charge. The IRA amends the Clean Air Act to
impose a fee on the emission of methane that exceeds an applicable waste emissions threshold from sources required to report their greenhouse gas emissions to
the EPA, including those sources in the offshore and onshore petroleum and natural gas production and gathering and boosting source categories. On November
18, 2024, the EPA published final regulations to facilitate compliance with the methane emissions charge. The methane emissions charge must be paid no later
than August 31 of the year following the reporting period and starts at $900 per ton of methane in 2024, increases to $1,200 in 2025, and will be set at $1,500
for 2026 and each year after. Calculation of the fee is based on certain thresholds established in the IRA. The methane emissions charge could increase our
customers’ operating costs, which could adversely impact our business. However, on January 20, 2025, President Trump signed multiple executive orders
seeking to reverse many of these climate rules and incentives, including pausing the disbursement of funds under the IRA and eliminating the “electric vehicle
mandate.” Despite this shift, numerous proposals have been made and are likely to continue to be made at the international, regional and state levels of
government that are intended to limit GHG emissions by enforceable requirements and voluntary measures.
The EPA has also finalized a series of GHG monitoring, reporting, and emissions control rules for the oil and natural gas industry, and almost one-
half of U.S. states have taken measures to reduce emissions of GHGs, primarily through the development of GHG emission inventories and/or regional GHG
cap-and-trade programs. In addition, states have imposed increasingly stringent requirements related to the venting or flaring of gas during oil and natural gas
operations.
In general, these regulatory changes do not appear to affect us in any material respect that is different, or to any materially greater or lesser extent,
than other companies that are our competitors. However, to the extent our customers are subject to these or other similar proposed or newly enacted laws and
regulations, the additional costs incurred by our customers to comply with such laws and regulations could impact their ability or desire to continue to operate at
current or anticipated levels, which would negatively impact their demand for our products and services. In addition, any new laws or regulations establishing
cap-and-trade or that favor the increased use of non-fossil fuels—such as the IRA—may dampen demand for oil and natural gas production and lead to lower
spending by our customers for our products and services. Similarly, to the extent we are or become subject to any of these or other similar proposed or newly
enacted laws and regulations, we expect that our efforts to monitor, report and comply with such laws and regulations, and any related taxes imposed on
companies by such programs, will increase our cost of doing business and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of
operations. Moreover, any such regulations could ultimately restrict the exploration and production of fossil fuels, which could adversely affect demand for our
products.
In addition, there have also been efforts in recent years to influence the investment community, including investment advisors and certain sovereign
wealth, pension and endowment funds promoting divestment of fossil fuel equities and pressuring lenders to limit funding to companies engaged in the
extraction of fossil fuel reserves. Such environmental activism and initiatives aimed at limiting climate change and reducing air pollution could interfere with
our business activities, operations and ability to access capital. Furthermore, claims have been made against certain energy companies alleging that GHG
emissions from oil and natural gas operations constitute a public nuisance under federal and/or state common law. As a result, private individuals or public
entities may seek to enforce environmental laws and regulations against certain energy companies and could allege personal injury, property damages or other
liabilities. While our business is not a party to any such litigation, we could be named in actions making similar allegations. An unfavorable ruling in any such
case could significantly impact our operations and could have an adverse impact on our financial condition.
13
Hydraulic Fracturing. Many of our customers utilize hydraulic fracturing in their operations. Environmental concerns have been raised regarding
the potential impact of hydraulic fracturing on underground water supplies. These concerns have led to several regulatory and governmental initiatives in the
United States to restrict the hydraulic fracturing process, which could have an adverse impact on our customers’ completion or production activities. For
example, in December 2016, the EPA released its final report on the potential impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water resources, concluding that
“water cycle” activities associated with hydraulic fracturing may impact drinking water resources “under some circumstances,” including water withdrawals for
fracturing in times or areas of low water availability; surface spills during the management of fracturing fluids, chemicals or produced water; injection of
fracturing fluids into wells with inadequate mechanical integrity; injection of fracturing fluids directly into groundwater resources; discharge of inadequately
treated fracturing wastewater to surface waters; and disposal or storage of fracturing wastewater in unlined pits. The EPA has also issued regulations under the
U.S. Clean Air Act governing performance standards, including standards for the capture of air emissions released during hydraulic fracturing, and published on
June 28, 2016 a final rule prohibiting the discharge of wastewater from hydraulic fracturing operations to publicly owned wastewater treatment plants. In some
instances, states and local governments have enacted more stringent hydraulic fracturing restrictions or bans on hydraulic fracturing activities. These and other
similar state and foreign regulatory initiatives, if adopted, would establish additional levels of regulation for our customers that could make it more difficult for
our customers to complete natural gas and oil wells and could adversely affect the demand for our equipment and services, which, in turn, could adversely affect
our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
State and federal regulatory agencies have also recently focused on a possible connection between the operation of injection wells used for oil and
natural gas wastewater disposal and seismic activity. Similar concerns have been raised that hydraulic fracturing may also contribute to seismic activity. When
caused by human activity, such events are called induced seismicity. Developing research suggests that the link between seismic activity and wastewater
disposal may vary by region. In March 2016, the U.S. Geological Survey identified six states with the most significant hazards from induced seismicity,
including Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arkansas. In light of these concerns, some state regulatory agencies have modified their
regulations or issued orders to address induced seismicity, and regulators in some states are seeking to impose additional requirements related to underground
injection activities. For example, the Oklahoma Corporations Commission has implemented a variety of measures, including the adoption of the National
Academy of Science’s “traffic light system,” pursuant to which the agency reviews new disposal well applications and may restrict operations at existing wells.
The Texas Railroad Commission has also implemented measures to assess the potential for seismic activity in the vicinity of disposal wells, and it has restricted
and indefinitely suspended disposal well activities in some cases.
Increased regulation and attention given to induced seismicity could lead to greater opposition to, and litigation concerning, oil and natural gas
activities utilizing hydraulic fracturing or injection wells for waste disposal, which could indirectly impact our business, financial condition and results of
operations. In addition, these concerns may give rise to private tort suits from individuals who claim they are adversely impacted by seismic activity they allege
was induced. Such claims or actions could result in liability for property damage, exposure to waste and other hazardous materials, nuisance or personal
injuries, and require our customers to expend additional resources or incur substantial costs or losses. This could, in turn, adversely affect the demand for our
products.
Although we do not conduct hydraulic fracturing, increased regulation and attention given to the hydraulic fracturing process could lead to greater
opposition to oil and natural gas production activities using hydraulic fracturing techniques. In addition, the adoption of new laws or regulations at the federal,
state, local or foreign level imposing reporting obligations on, or otherwise limiting, delaying or banning, the hydraulic fracturing process or other processes on
which hydraulic fracturing relies, such as water disposal,could make it more difficult to complete oil and natural gas wells, increase our customers’ costs of
compliance and doing business, and otherwise adversely affect the hydraulic fracturing services they perform, which could negatively impact demand for our
products.
Offshore Drilling. Various new regulations intended to improve offshore safety systems and environmental protection have been issued since 2010
that have increased the complexity of the drilling permit process and may limit the opportunity for some operators to continue deepwater drilling in the Gulf of
Mexico, which could have an adverse impact on our customers’ activities. For example, on August 23, 2023, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental
Enforcement (“BSEE”) published a final blowout preventer system sand well control rule that strengthens testing and performance requirements for blowout
preventers and other well control equipment. Additionally, on April 24, 2024, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (“BOEM”) published a final rule to
modify the financial assurance requirements for offshore leaseholders. BOEM estimates that a total of $6.9 billion in new supplemental financial assurance will
be required from lessees and grant holders under this final rule to cover potential costs of decommissioning activities. As such, these new financial assurance
requirements may increase our customers’ operating costs and impact our customers’ ability to obtain leases, thereby, reducing demand for our products.
Additionally, on January 6, 2025, President Biden issued two Presidential Memoranda to ban new offshore oil and gas drilling in most U.S. coastal waters.
Biden’s actions would have withdrawn more than 625 million acres of the U.S. ocean, including the entirety of U.S. East coast, the eastern Gulf of Mexico, the
Pacific off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California, and additional portions of the Northern Bering Sea in Alaska, from
14
future oil and gas leasing, though President Trump reversed the plan with his own executive order on January 20, 2025. Third-party challenges to industry
operations in the Gulf of Mexico may also serve to further delay or restrict activities. For example, in August 2022, the District of Columbia Circuit Court of
Appeals found two oil leases in the Gulf of Mexico were unlawful for failure to properly analyze risk under the National Environmental Policy Act. If the new
regulations, policies, operating procedures and possibility of increased legal liability are viewed by our current or future customers as a significant impairment
to expected profitability on projects or an unjustifiable increase in risk, they could discontinue or curtail their offshore operations, thereby adversely affecting
the demand for our equipment and services, which, in turn, could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operation, or cash flows.
Insurance and Risk Management
We provide products and systems to customers involved in oil and natural gas exploration, development and production. We also provide parts,
repair services and field services associated with installation at all of our facilities and service centers throughout North America, Latin America, Europe, the
Middle East and Asia, as well as at customer sites. Our operations are subject to hazards inherent in the oil and natural gas industry, including accidents,
blowouts, explosions, cratering, fires, oil spills and hazardous materials spills. These conditions can cause personal injury or loss of life, damage to or
destruction of property, equipment, the environment and wildlife, and interruption or suspension of operations, among other adverse effects. In addition, claims
for loss of oil and natural gas production and damage to formations can occur. If a serious accident were to occur at a location where our equipment and services
are being used, it could result in our being named as a defendant to lawsuits asserting significant claims.
Despite our efforts to maintain safety standards, we have suffered accidents in the past, and we anticipate that we could experience accidents in the
future. In addition to the property and personal losses from these accidents, the frequency and severity of these incidents affect our operating costs and
insurability, as well as our relationships with customers, employees and regulatory agencies. Any significant increase in the frequency or severity of these
incidents, or the general level of compensation awards, could adversely affect the cost of, or our ability to obtain, workers’ compensation and other forms of
insurance and could have other adverse effects on our financial condition and results of operations.
We rely on customer indemnifications and third-party insurance as part of our risk mitigation strategy. However, our customers may be unable to
satisfy indemnification claims against them. In addition, we indemnify our customers against certain claims and liabilities resulting or arising from our
provision of goods or services to them. Our insurance may not be sufficient to cover any particular loss or may not cover all losses. We carry a variety of
insurance coverages for our operations, and we are partially self-insured for certain claims, in amounts that we believe to be customary and reasonable.
Historically, insurance rates have been subject to various market fluctuations that may result in less coverage, increased premium costs, or higher deductibles or
self-insured retentions.
Facilities
Our corporate headquarters are located in Humble, Texas. Please refer to “Item 2—Properties” for information with respect to our other facilities. We
believe that our facilities are adequate for our current operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our business and financial performance depends primarily upon the general level of activity in the oil and natural gas industry, including the number of
drilling rigs in operation, the number of oil and natural gas wells being drilled, the volume of production, the number of well completions and the level of
well remediation activity and the corresponding capital expenditures by oil and natural gas companies within North America, the Middle East, Latin
America and Europe, among other global markets. A decline in prices for oil and natural gas may have an adverse effect on our revenue, cash flows,
profitability and growth.
Demand for most of our products and services depends primarily on the level of activity in the oil and natural gas industry in North America, the
Middle East, Latin America and Europe, among other global markets. As a result, our operations are dependent on the levels of activity and capital spending in
oil and natural gas exploration, development and production. A prolonged reduction in oil and natural gas prices would generally depress the level of oil and
natural gas exploration, development, production, and well completion activity and would result in a corresponding decline in the demand for the products and
services that we provide. The significant decline in oil and natural gas prices that occurred in 2020 caused a reduction in our customers’ spending and associated
drilling and completion activities, which had an adverse effect on our revenue. While oil and natural gas prices have since increased, should prices again
decline, similar declines in our customers’ spending would have an adverse effect on our revenue. In addition, a worsening of these conditions may result in a
material adverse impact on certain of our customers’ liquidity and financial position resulting in further spending reductions, delays in the collection of amounts
owing to us and other similar impacts.
Many factors over which we have no control affect the supply of and demand for, and our customers’ willingness to explore, develop and produce oil
and natural gas, and therefore, influence the volumes we can sell and the prices we can charge for our products and services, including:
•
the global supply of, and demand for, oil and natural gas;
•
the level of prices, and expectations about future prices, of oil and natural gas;
•
the level of global oil and natural gas exploration and production;
•
the cost of exploring for, developing, producing and delivering oil and natural gas;
•
the supply of and demand for our products and services;
•
global or national health concerns, including health epidemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic;
•
the expected decline rates of current production;
•
inability to acquire or maintain necessary permits or mining or water rights;
•
the price and quantity of foreign imports;
•
political and economic conditions in oil and natural gas producing countries and regions, including the United States, the Middle East, Africa,
Europe, Latin America and Russia;
•
actions by the members of OPEC+ and other oil-producing countries with respect to oil production levels and announcements of potential
changes in such levels;
•
speculative trading in crude oil and natural gas derivative contracts;
•
the level of consumer product demand;
•
the discovery rates of new oil and natural gas reserves;
•
contractions in the credit market;
•
the strength or weakness of the U.S. dollar;
•
available pipeline and other transportation capacity;
•
the levels of oil and natural gas storage;
•
the proximity and capacity of oil and natural gas pipelines and other transportation facilities;
•
adverse weather conditions and other natural disasters;
16
•
U.S. and non-U.S. tax policy;
•
U.S. and non-U.S. governmental approvals and regulatory requirements and conditions;
•
the continued threat of terrorism and the impact of military and other action, including military action in the Middle East and the Russia-
Ukraine war;
•
technical advances affecting energy consumption;
•
the price and availability of alternative fuels and energy sources;
•
uncertainty in commodities markets and the ability of oil and natural gas producers to raise equity capital and debt financing;
•
acquisition and divestiture activity among oil and natural gas producers;
•
cyclical/seasonal business and dependence upon spending of our customers;
•
competition among oilfield service and equipment providers;
•
changes in transportation regulations that result in increased costs or administrative burdens; and
•
overall domestic and global economic conditions.
These factors and the volatility of the energy markets make it extremely difficult to predict future oil and natural gas price movements with any
certainty. A decline in oil and natural gas prices may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The cyclical nature of the oil and natural gas industry may cause our operating results to fluctuate.
We derive our revenues from companies in the oil and natural gas exploration and production and oilfield services industry, a historically cyclical
industry with levels of activity that are significantly affected by the levels and volatility of oil and natural gas prices. We have experienced, and may in the
future experience, significant fluctuations in operating results as a result of the reactions of our customers to changes in oil and natural gas prices. For example,
prolonged low commodity prices experienced by the oil and natural gas industry during 2015, 2016 and in 2020, combined with adverse changes in the capital
and credit markets, caused many exploration and production companies to reduce their capital budgets and drilling activity. This resulted in a significant decline
in demand for oilfield services and products and adversely impacted the volume of products and services oilfield services companies could sell, and the prices
oilfield services companies could charge for their products and services. In addition, a majority of the revenue we earn is based upon product sales at market
pricing. By selling our products at market pricing, we are exposed to the risks of a rapid reduction in prices and resulting volatility in our revenues.
We are subject to risks relating to existing international operations and expansion into new geographical markets.
We continue to focus on expanding sales globally as part of our overall growth strategy and expect sales from outside the United States to continue to
represent a significant and growing portion of our revenue. Our international operations and global expansion strategy are subject to general risks related to such
operations, including:
•
political, social and economic instability and disruptions;
•
terrorist threats or acts, war and civil disturbances;
•
export controls, economic sanctions, embargoes, import controls, duties and tariffs, and other trade restrictions;
•
the imposition of duties and tariffs and other trade barriers;
•
limitations on ownership and on repatriation or dividend of earnings;
•

If we are unable to successfully manage the risks associated with expanding our global business or adequately manage operational risks of our
existing international operations, these risks could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy into new geographical markets,our reputation, our
business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We often sell and rent products to IOCs and NOCs. Many IOCs and NOCs require products to undergo extensive registration and qualification
processes before such product can be purchased or rented. This process can take several years to complete. We will seek to undergo these registration and
qualification processes for our current and future products, and there is no guarantee our products will successfully complete these processes, or if they do, that
such IOCs or NOCs will purchase or rent such products in the future.
We must comply with export and import controls, economic sanctions and embargoes, anti-boycott, and other international trade laws and any failure to
comply with such laws could subject us to liability and have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We conduct business globally, and our business activities and services are subject to import and export controls, as well as economic sanctions,
embargoes, anti-boycott, and other international trade laws of the United States and other countries. We must comply with U.S. and other applicable export and
import controls, economic sanctions, embargoes, anti-boycott, and other international trade laws, including the U.S. Commerce Department’s Export
Administration Regulations and economic sanctions administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control and the U.S.
Department of State. In addition, the movement of goods, services and technology subjects us to complex legal regimes governing international trade. Our
import activities are governed by unique tariff and customs laws in each of the countries where we import. Further, we must comply with controls on the export
or reexport of certain goods, services and technology, as well as economic sanctions that prohibit or restrict business activities in, with or involving certain
persons, entities or countries. Although we have instituted policies and procedures designed to promote compliance with such controls and laws, violations of
import or export controls, economic sanctions, embargoes, anti-boycott, or other international trade laws could result in negative consequences to us, including
government investigations, sanctions, criminal or civil fines or penalties, more onerous compliance requirements, loss of authorizations or licenses needed to
conduct aspects of our business, default under debt, reputational harm and other adverse consequences. Moreover, if any of our counterparties or jurisdictions
where we do business becomes the target of economic sanctions or other trade restrictions, we may face an array of issues, including, but not limited to, having
to abandon the related project or business, being unable to recoup prior invested time and capital or being subject to lawsuits, investigations or regulatory
proceedings that could be time consuming and expensive to respond to, and which could lead to sanctions, criminal or civil fines or penalties, loss of
authorizations or licenses needed to conduct aspects of our business, default under debt, reputational harm and other adverse consequences. Furthermore, the
laws concerning import and export controls, including record keeping and reporting, economic sanctions, embargoes, anti-boycott, and other international trade
laws are complex and constantly changing and we cannot predict how these laws or their interpretation, administration and enforcement will change over time.
Moreover, they may be adopted, enacted, amended, enforced or interpreted in a manner that could materially impact our operations.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be affected by economic sanctions and export controls, including those targeting Russia.
In response to Russia’s military action in Ukraine in 2022, the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom, among others, have
imposed significant economic sanctions and export control measures on Russia and others supporting Russia’s military and political actions in Ukraine,
including, blocking or “asset freezing” sanctions on designated entities and individuals; restrictions on the Russian energy and financial sectors; blocking
economic activity in certain areas of Ukraine not controlled by the Ukrainian government; prohibitions in relation to investment in Russia; prohibitions and
restrictions relating to Russian origin oil and oil products; and export controls limiting the export of a wide range of goods and technical assistance to Russia. In
response, Russia has implemented counter-sanctions, including restrictions on the divestment from Russian assets by foreign investors and restrictions on the
payments of dividends and transfers of funds out of Russia by foreign investors. Although we have minimal operational exposure in Russia with no revenue for
the year ended December 31, 2024, and we do not intend to commit further capital towards
18
projects in Russia, the full impact of the invasion of Ukraine, including economic sanctions and export controls or additional war or military conflict, as well as
potential responses to them by Russia, is currently unknown and they could adversely affect oil and gas companies, including many of which are our customers,
as well as the global supply chain.
Our operations outside the United States must comply with a number of U.S. and other anti-corruption laws, violations of which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We must comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and similar laws in other countries that generally prohibit companies and
their agents and employees from providing anything of value to a foreign official or other person for the purposes of influencing any act or decision of these
individuals in their official capacity to help obtain or retain business, direct business to any person or corporate entity, or obtain any unfair advantage. We do
business and have operations in a number of developing countries that have relatively underdeveloped legal and regulatory systems compared to more
developed countries. Several of these countries are generally perceived as presenting a higher than normal risk of corruption, or as having a culture in which
requests for improper payments are not discouraged. As a result, we may be subject to risks under the FCPA, the United Kingdom's Bribery Act of 2010 and
similar laws in other countries. Our activities create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by our employees or agents that could be in
violation of anti-corruption laws, even though some of these parties are not subject to our control. We have internal control policies and procedures, including
our Code of Business Conduct and Ethical Practices, and have implemented training and compliance programs for our employees and agents to promote and
achieve compliance with the FCPA and other similar laws. However, we cannot assure that our compliance policies, and procedures, and programs are or will
be sufficient or that our directors, officers, employees, representatives, consultants and agents have not engaged and will not engage in conduct for which we
may be held responsible. We are also subject to the risks that our employees and agents outside of the United States may act or fail to act in violation of such
laws or our compliance policies. Violations of anti-corruption laws may result in severe criminal or civil fines, penalties or sanctions, such as fines,
imprisonment, sanctions, debarment from government contracts, seizure of shipments, loss of import and export privileges, and we may be subject to other
liabilities, more onerous compliance requirements, default under debt, reputational harm and other adverse consequences, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, actual or alleged violations of such laws could be expensive and consume
significant time and attention of senior management to investigate and resolve, as well as damage our reputation and ability to do business, including our ability
to win future business and maintain existing customer and supplier relationships, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our
results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
The scope of our international operations subjects us to risks from currency fluctuations that could adversely affect our liquidity, financial position and
results of operations.
Our non-U.S. operations generate significant revenues and earnings. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may affect product demand and
may adversely affect the profitability in U.S. dollars of the products we provide in international markets where payment for our products is made in the local
currency. We have significant operations in several key International and Offshore markets, including the Middle East, Latin America and Europe, among
others, where we earned approximately 45% of our revenues in 2024. Although not all revenue is priced in local currency, our financial results are affected by
currency fluctuations, and the impact of those currency fluctuations on the underlying economies. We generally do not use financial instruments that expose us
to significant risk involving foreign currency transactions; however, the relative size of our non-U.S. activities has a significant impact on reported operating
results and our net assets. Therefore, as exchange rates change, our results can be materially affected.
In addition, our foreign subsidiaries also hold significant amounts of cash that may be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to adjustment for
foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes of the applicable foreign country if we repatriate that cash to the United States.
Also, we have a diverse supply chain that utilizes international vendors to provide certain services, including machining services, and source raw
materials, component parts and finished products from countries other than that of the intended sale. This practice can give rise to foreign exchange risk.
Policy changes affecting international trade and investments could adversely impact our supply chain, the demand for our products and our competitive
position.
Changes in government policies on international trade and investment can affect the demand for our products and services, impact the competitive
position of our products and services or prevent us from being able to sell or purchase products and services in or from certain countries. Our business benefits
from free trade agreements, and efforts to withdraw from, or substantially modify such agreements, in addition to the implementation of more restrictive trade
policies, such as more detailed inspections, higher tariffs,
19
import or export licensing requirements, economic sanctions, anti-boycott laws, exchange controls or new barriers to entry, could have a material adverse effect
on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. For example, we are experiencing and/or may experience in the future increased tariffs on certain
of our products and product components from China, Mexico and Canada. We have planned and begun to implement various efforts in conjunction with our
supply chain and end market partners to mitigate the impact of the increased tariffs, but we cannot predict how the tariffs and trade policies may change over
time.
We are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions and there are inherent uncertainties in the final determination of our tax liabilities.
As a result of our U.S. and international operations, we are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions. Accordingly, our effective income tax rate and
other tax obligations in the future could be adversely affected by a number of factors, including changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing
statutory tax rates, the mix of business executed in deemed profit regimes compared to book income regimes, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and
liabilities, disagreements with taxing authorities with respect to the interpretation of tax laws and regulations and changes in tax laws. In particular, foreign
income tax returns of foreign subsidiaries and related entities are routinely examined by foreign tax authorities, and these tax examinations may result in
assessments of additional taxes, interest or penalties. We regularly assess all of these matters to determine the adequacy of our tax provision, which is subject to
discretion. If our assessments are incorrect, it could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Moreover, the United States Congress, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development and other government agencies in the other
jurisdictions where we and our subsidiaries do business have had an extended focus on issues related to the taxation of multinational corporations. One example
is in the area of “base erosion and profit shifting,” where payments are made between affiliates from a jurisdiction with high tax rates to a jurisdiction with
lower tax rates. As a result, the tax laws in the United States and other countries in which we and our subsidiaries do business could change on a prospective or
retroactive basis, and such changes could adversely affect us.
A change of control could limit our use of net operating losses.
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 382”) generally imposes an annual limitation on the amount of net
operating losses (“NOLs”) that may be used to offset taxable income when a corporation has undergone an “ownership change” (as determined under Section
382). An ownership change generally occurs if one or more stockholders (or groups of stockholders) who are each deemed to own at least 5% of such
corporation’s stock has increased their ownership by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest ownership percentage within a rolling three-year period.
In the event that an ownership change occurs, utilization of the relevant corporation’s NOLs would be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382,
generally determined, subject to certain adjustments, by multiplying (i) the fair market value of such corporation’s stock outstanding at the time of the
ownership change by (ii) a percentage approximately equivalent to the yield on long-term tax-exempt bonds during the month in which the ownership change
occurs. Any unused annual limitation may be carried over to later years.
As of December 31, 2024, we had an NOL carryforward of approximately $298.8 million, principally consisting of tax attributes acquired from Dril-
Quip and Rubicon. The Rubicon NOLs are subject to a significant limitation, however, we do not believe the Merger resulted in an ownership change under
Section 382, so the $149.5 million of NOLs acquired from Dril-Quip are not limited.
Future changes in our stock ownership, however, could result in an additional ownership change under Section 382. Any such ownership change may
substantially limit our ability to offset taxable income arising after such an ownership change with NOLs or other tax attributes generated prior to such an
ownership change.
We face significant competition that may cause us to lose market share.
The oilfield services industry is highly competitive. The principal competitive factors impacting sales of our products are technology, service quality,
safety track record and price. The market is also fragmented and includes numerous small companies capable of competing effectively in our markets on a local
basis, as well as several large companies that possess substantially greater financial and other resources than we do. Our larger competitors’ greater resources
could allow those competitors to compete more effectively than we can. For instance, our larger competitors may offer products at below-market prices or
bundle ancillary products and services at no additional cost to our customers. We compete with large national and multi-national companies that have longer
operating histories, greater financial, technical and other resources and greater name recognition than we do. Several of our competitors provide a broader array
of products and services and have a stronger presence in more geographic markets.
20
Some jobs are awarded on a bid basis, which further increases competition based on price. Pricing is one of the primary factors in determining which
qualified contractor is awarded a job. The competitive environment may be further intensified by mergers and acquisitions among oil and natural gas companies
or other events that have the effect of reducing the number of available customers. If competition remains the same or increases as a result of future industry
downturns, we may be required to lower our prices, which would adversely affect our results of operations. In the future, we may lose market share or be unable
to maintain or increase prices for our present products or to acquire additional business opportunities, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and services and changes in customer requirements. The
amount of equipment available may exceed demand, which could result in active price competition.
In addition, competition among oilfield equipment providers is affected by each provider’s reputation for safety and quality. We cannot assure that
we will be able to maintain our competitive position.
We are subject to the risk of supplier concentration for certain product lines.
Certain of our product lines, including frac plugs and well intervention tools, depend on a limited number of third-party suppliers and vendors,
including for supplies of certain raw materials. As a result of this concentration in some of our supply chains, our business and operations could be negatively
affected if our key suppliers were to experience significant disruptions affecting the price, quality, availability or timely delivery of their products. The partial or
complete loss of any one of our key suppliers, or a significant adverse change in the relationship with any of these suppliers, through consolidation or otherwise,
would limit our ability to manufacture or sell certain of our products, or require us to depend on costly alternatives, which may impact financial performance.
Our customers’ industries are undergoing continuing consolidation that may impact our results of operations.
The oil and gas industry is rapidly consolidating and, as a result, some of our largest customers have consolidated and are using their size and
purchasing power to seek economies of scale and pricing concessions. This consolidation may result in reduced capital spending by some of our customers or
the acquisition of one or more of our primary customers, which may lead to decreased demand for our products and services. We cannot assure you that we will
be able to maintain our level of sales to a customer that has consolidated or replace that revenue with increased business activity with other customers. As a
result, the acquisition of one or more of our primary customers may have a significant negative impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash
flows. We are unable to predict what effect consolidations in the industry may have on price, capital spending by our customers, our selling strategies, our
competitive position, our ability to retain customers or our ability to negotiate favorable agreements with our customers.
We could lose customers or generate lower revenue, operating profits and cash flows if there are significant increases in the cost of raw materials or if we
are unable to obtain raw materials.
We purchase raw materials, sub-assemblies and components for use in manufacturing operations, which exposes us to volatility in prices for certain
commodities. Significant price increases for these commodities could adversely affect our operating profits. Even if we have multiple suppliers of a particular
raw material, there are occasionally shortages which lead to price increases. Any significant disruption in supply could affect our ability to obtain raw materials
or satisfactory substitutes or could increase the cost of such raw materials or substitutes, which could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial
position and results of operations. Should our current suppliers be unable or unwilling to provide the necessary parts, raw materials or equipment or otherwise
fail to deliver the products timely and in the quantities required, any resulting delays in the provision of our products could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Additionally, like others in our industry, we continue to face inflation in raw materials cost. In addition to general inflationary pressures, adverse
weather may also result in raw materials supply chain disruptions, that can lead to short-term raw material cost inflation. International conflicts or other
geopolitical events, such as the continuing Russia-Ukraine war, may also cause upward pressure on raw materials costs due to transportation disruptions, higher
manufacturing costs, disruptions in supply chains and availability of raw materials, interruptions in manufacturing operation, and heightened inflation. While we
will generally attempt to mitigate the impact of increased raw material prices by endeavoring to make strategic purchasing decisions, broadening our supplier
base and passing along increased costs to customers, there may be a time delay between the increased raw material prices and the ability to increase the prices
of our products. For example, one of our product families depends on alloying elements such as magnesium, with China providing the majority of the world
supply. Prices for alloying elements like magnesium are subject to
21
constant volatility and may increase significantly from time to time. The inability to obtain necessary raw materials on acceptable terms could affect our ability
to meet customer commitments and satisfy demand for certain products. Public health threats, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, severe influenza and other
highly communicable viruses or diseases, in addition to international conflicts or other geopolitical events or extreme weather events could limit access to
vendors and their facilities, or the ability to transport raw materials from our vendors, which would adversely affect our ability to obtain necessary raw materials
for certain of our products or increase the costs of such materials. A significant price increase in or the unavailability of raw materials may result in a loss of
customers and adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, and could result in asset impairments, including an
impairment of the carrying value of our goodwill.
We are exposed to counterparty credit risk. Nonpayment and nonperformance by our customers, suppliers or vendors could adversely impact our
operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Weak economic conditions, volatility in the banking sector and/or widespread financial distress could reduce the liquidity of our customers, suppliers
or vendors making it more difficult for them to meet their obligations to us. Severe financial problems encountered by our customers, suppliers and vendors
could limit our ability to collect amounts owed to us or to enforce the performance of obligations owed to us under contractual arrangements and/or limit our
ability to enter into future contractual arrangements with such customers, suppliers or vendors. Certain of our customers finance their activities through cash
flow from operations, the incurrence of debt or the issuance of equity. In an economic downturn, commodity prices typically decline, and the credit markets and
availability of credit can be expected to be constrained. Additionally, certain of our customers’ equity values could decline. The combination of lower cash flow
due to commodity prices, a reduction in borrowing bases under reserve-based credit facilities and the lack of available debt or equity financing may result in a
significant reduction in our customers’ liquidity and ability to pay or otherwise perform on their obligations to us. Furthermore, some of our customers may be
highly leveraged and subject to their own operating and regulatory risks, which increases the risk that they may default on their obligations to us. Any increase
in the nonpayment and nonperformance by our customers could have an adverse impact on our operating results and could adversely affect our liquidity.In the
event that any of our customers was to enter into bankruptcy, we could lose all or a portion of the amounts owed to us by such customer, and we may be forced
to cancel all or a portion of our contracts with such customer at significant expense to us.
In addition, nonperformance by suppliers or vendors who have committed to provide us with critical products or services could raise our costs or
interfere with our ability to successfully conduct our business. These factors, combined with volatile prices of oil and natural gas, may precipitate a continued
economic slowdown and/or a recession.
We may not be able to satisfy technical requirements, testing requirements or other specifications under contracts and contract tenders.
Our products are used primarily in deepwater, harsh environment and severe service applications. Our contracts with customers and customer
requests for bids typically set forth detailed specifications or technical requirements for our products and services, which may also include extensive testing
requirements. We anticipate that such testing requirements will become more common in our contracts. In addition, scrutiny of the drilling industry has resulted
in more stringent technical specifications for our products and more comprehensive testing requirements for our products to maintain compliance with such
specifications. We cannot assure you that our products will be able to satisfy the specifications or that we will be able to perform the full-scale testing necessary
to prove that the product specifications are satisfied in future contract bids or under existing contracts, or that the costs of modifications to our products to
satisfy the specifications and testing will not adversely affect our results of operations. If our products are unable to satisfy such requirements, or we are unable
to perform any required full-scale testing, our customers may cancel their contracts and/or seek new suppliers, and our business, results of operations, cash
flows or financial position may be adversely affected.
Growth in drilling and completion activity, and our ability to benefit from such growth, could be adversely affected by any significant constraints in
equipment, labor or takeaway capacity in the regions in which we operate.
Growth in drilling and completion activity may be impacted by, among other things, the availability and cost of oil country tubular goods, pipeline
capacity, and material and labor shortages. Should significant growth in activity occur there could be concerns over availability of the equipment, materials and
labor required to drill and complete a well, together with the ability to move the produced oil and natural gas to market. Should significant constraints develop
that materially impact the efficiency and economics of oil and natural gas producers, growth in drilling and completion activity could be adversely affected.
This would have an adverse impact on the demand for our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash
flows.
22
Equipment failures or production curtailments or shutdowns at our manufacturing and production facilities could adversely affect our manufacturing
capability.
Our manufacturing capacity is subject to equipment failures and the risk of catastrophic loss due to unanticipated events, such as fires, explosions and
adverse weather conditions. Our manufacturing processes depend on critical pieces of equipment. Such equipment may, on occasion, be out of service as a
result of unanticipated failures, which could require us to close part or all of the relevant manufacturing and production facility or cause us to reduce production
on one or more of our product lines. Any interruption in manufacturing capability may require us to make significant and unanticipated capital expenditures to
effect repairs,which could have a negative effect on our profitability and cash flows. We carry extra expense coverage; however, recoveries under insurance
coverage that we currently maintain or may obtain in the future may not be sufficient to completely offset the lost revenues or increased costs resulting from a
disruption of our operations. A sustained disruption to our business could also result in delays to or cancellations of customer orders and contractual penalties,
which may also negatively impact our reputation among our customers. Any or all of these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations, financial condition and prospects.
We rely on a few key employees whose absence or loss could adversely affect our business.
Many key responsibilities within our business have been assigned to a small number of employees. We depend on our current senior management for
the implementation of our strategy and the supervision of our day-to-day activities. However, there can be no assurance that these individuals will continue to
make their services available to us in the future. The loss of their services could adversely affect our business. In particular, the loss of the services of one or
more members of our senior management team could disrupt our operations. The loss or diminution of the services of our senior management or an inability to
attract and retain additional senior management personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and
prospects. Further, competition in our industry for personnel with relevant expertise is intense due to the relatively small number of qualified individuals, and
this competition could affect our ability to retain our existing senior management and attract additional suitably qualified senior management personnel. As a
result, the departure of key managers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. We do not
maintain “key person” life insurance policies on any of our employees. As a result, we are not insured against any losses resulting from the death of our key
employees.
If we are unable to employ a sufficient number of skilled and qualified workers, our capacity and profitability could be diminished and our growth potential
could be impaired.
Many of our products are mechanically complex and often must perform in extremely challenging conditions. The design and delivery of our
products requires skilled and qualified technical personnel with specialized skills and experience, and our ability to be productive and profitable will depend
upon our ability to employ and retain skilled workers. In addition, our ability to expand our operations depends in part on our ability to increase the size of our
skilled labor force. The demand for skilled workers is high, and the supply is limited. As a result, competition for experienced personnel is intense, and we face
significant challenges in competing for crews and management with large and well- established competitors. A significant increase in the wages paid by
competing employers could result in a reduction of our skilled labor force, increases in the wage rates that we must pay, or both. If either of these events were to
occur, our capacity and profitability could be diminished and our growth potential could be impaired.
A negative shift in investor sentiment of the oil and natural gas industry has had and could in the future have adverse effects on our customers’ operations,
our business and on our access to investors and financing.
Certain segments of the investor community have developed negative sentiment towards investing in our industry. Equity returns over the last decade
in the sector versus other industry sectors have led to lower oil and natural gas and related services representation in certain key equity market indices. Investors
and lenders may factor historical returns into future investment and financing decisions. In addition, some investors, including investment advisors and certain
sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, university endowments and family foundations, have stated policies to disinvest in the oil and natural gas sector based
on their social and environmental considerations. Certain other stakeholders have also pressured commercial and investment banks and other lenders and
investors to stop financing oil and natural gas production and related infrastructure projects, which adversely affects our customers. Such developments,
including environmental activism and initiatives aimed at limiting climate change and reducing air pollution, could result in downward pressure on the stock
prices of oilfield service companies, including ours. While a substantial number of banks and financing sources remain active in investments related to the oil
and natural gas and oilfield services industries, it is possible that the investment avoidance or limitation theme could expand in the future and restrict access to
capital for our customers and for companies like us.
23
In addition, organizations that provide information to investors on corporate governance and related matters have developed ratings processes for
evaluating companies on their approach to environmental, social and governance matters. Such ratings are used by some investors to inform their investment
and voting decisions. Unfavorable environmental, social and governance ratings and recent activism directed at shifting funding away from companies with
fossil fuel-related assets could lead to increased negative investor sentiment toward our customers and us and to the diversion of investment to other industries,
which could have a negative impact on our business and both our and our customers’ access to and cost of capital. Also, institutional lenders may decide not to
provide funding for fossil fuel energy companies based on climate change-related concerns, which could affect our or our customers’ access to capital for
potential growth projects. Reputational value is based in large part on perceptions of subjective qualities, and even isolated incidents may erode trust and
confidence and have adverse effects on our business and financial results, particularly if they result in adverse publicity or widespread reaction on social media.
Our ability to access capital and credit markets or borrow on affordable terms to obtain additional capital could be limited.
From time to time, we may need to access capital or credit markets to obtain financing. Our ability to access capital or credit markets for financing
could be limited by oil and natural gas prices, our capital structure, our credit ratings, the state of the economy, the health or market perceptions of the oil and
natural gas industry, the liquidity or instability of the capital markets, regional banks or other lending institutions and environmental, social and governance
considerations and other factors. Many of the factors that affect our ability to access capital and credit markets are outside of our control. Among other things,
our lenders may seek to increase interest rates, enact tighter lending standards, refuse to refinance existing debt at maturity at favorable terms or at all and may
reduce or cease to provide funding to us. While we seek to diversify, and evaluate the risk exposure of, the financial institutions with which we do business, we
cannot guarantee that any such institution will not be placed into receivership or otherwise be negatively impacted by the current volatility in the banking sector.
No assurance can be given that we will be able to access capital or credit markets on terms acceptable to us when required to do so, which could have a material
adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The growth of our business through recently completed acquisitions and potential future acquisitions may expose us to various risks, including those
relating to difficulties in identifying suitable, accretive acquisition opportunities and integrating businesses, assets and personnel, as well as difficulties in
obtaining financing for targeted acquisitions and the potential for increased leverage or debt service requirements.
We have pursued and intend to continue to pursue selected, accretive acquisitions of complementary assets and businesses, such as the Merger and
the acquisition of DWS. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including:
•
unanticipated costs and exposure to liabilities assumed in connection with the acquired business or assets, including, but not limited to,
environmental liabilities and title issues;
•
difficulties in integrating the operations and assets of the acquired business and the acquired personnel;
•
complexities associated with managing a larger, more complex, integrated business;
•
limitations on our ability to properly assess and maintain an effective internal control environment over an acquired business;
•
potential losses of key employees, customers and business partners of the acquired business;
•
performance shortfalls at one or both of the companies as a result of the diversion of management’s attention from their day-to-day
responsibilities caused by completing an acquisition and integrating an acquired business into the combined company;
•
risks of entering markets in which we have limited prior experience; and
•
increases in our expenses and working capital requirements.
The process of integrating an acquired business may involve unforeseen costs and delays or other operational, technical and financial difficulties, and
may require a significant amount of time and resources. We may experience difficulties in integrating a future acquired business’s operations into our business
and in realizing expected benefits and synergies from a future acquisition. The integration process may involve unforeseen difficulties and may require a
disproportionate amount of our managerial and financial resources. If we are unable to successfully integrate the operations of future acquired businesses with
our business, we may be unable to achieve consolidation savings and may incur unanticipated costs and liabilities.
24
Our failure to incorporate acquired businesses and assets into our existing operations successfully or to minimize any unforeseen operational
difficulties could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations.
Furthermore, competition for acquisitions may increase the cost of, or cause us to refrain from, completing acquisitions.
In addition, we may not have sufficient capital resources to complete any additional acquisitions. Historically, we have financed our acquisitions
primarily with funding from our equity investors, commercial borrowings and cash generated by operations, as well as equity consideration and debt financing
arrangements. We may incur substantial indebtedness to finance future acquisitions and also may issue equity, debt or convertible securities in connection with
such acquisitions. Debt service requirements could represent a significant burden on our results of operations and financial condition, and the issuance of
additional equity or convertible securities could be dilutive to our existing stockholders. Furthermore, we may not be able to obtain additional financing as
needed or on satisfactory terms.
Our ability to continue to grow through acquisitions and manage growth will require us to continue to invest in operational, financial and
management information systems and to attract, retain, motivate and effectively manage our employees. The inability to effectively manage the integration of
acquisitions could reduce our focus on current operations, which, in turn, could negatively impact our earnings and growth. Our financial position and results of
operations may fluctuate significantly from period to period, based on whether or not significant acquisitions are completed in particular periods.
The failure to integrate successfully the businesses of Dril-Quip and Legacy Innovex could adversely affect the Company’s future results.
The Merger involves the integration of two companies that prior to September 6, 2024, operated independently. The success of the Merger will
depend – in large part – on the ability of the Company to realize the anticipated benefits, including cost savings, among others, from combining the businesses
of Dril-Quip and Legacy Innovex. To realize these anticipated benefits, the businesses of Dril-Quip and Legacy Innovex must be successfully integrated. This
integration will be complex and time-consuming. The failure to integrate successfully and to manage successfully the challenges presented by the integration
process may result in the Company not achieving the anticipated benefits of the Merger.
Company management believes that the Merger will provide operational and financial scale, increasing free cash flow and enhancing the Company’s
corporate returns on invested capital. However, achieving these goals requires, among other things, realization of the targeted cost synergies expected from the
Merger. The anticipated benefits of the Merger and actual operating, technological, strategic and revenue opportunities may not be realized fully or at all, or
may take longer to realize than expected. If the Company is not able to achieve these objectives and realize the anticipated benefits and synergies expected from
the Merger within the anticipated timing or at all, the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected.
The Company has also incurred and will continue to incur significant integration-related costs and there is potential for unknown liabilities,
unforeseen expenses, delays associated with post-Merger integration activities and performance shortfalls of the Company as a result of the diversion of
management’s attention caused by completing the Merger and integrating the companies’ operations. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their
nature, are difficult to estimate accurately at the present time. Additionally, there are a large number of processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies
and systems that must be integrated, including accounting and finance, asset management, benefits, billing, health, safety and environmental, human resources,
maintenance, marketing, payroll and purchasing. The expenses of integrating these systems could, particularly in the near term, exceed the savings that the
Company expects to achieve from the elimination of duplicative expenses and the realization of economies of scale and cost savings.
Inflation could adversely impact our operating results and the global economy.
Inflation affects the costs of goods and services that we use, including raw materials to manufacture our products, as well as transportation and
logistical costs and other external costs and services, Inflation also affects labor costs, which are a significant element of our overall cost structure. If these costs
cannot be passed on to customers, our margins could be reduced.
Inflation also leads to increased interest rates as country monetary policies combat inflation. This can result in reduced economic growth and
recessionary conditions, as well as higher borrowing costs.
Global inflation significantly increased in 2022 and 2021 related to the COVID-19 economic recovery and associated disruptions in global demand,
supply chains/logistics, and labor markets, as well as the war in Ukraine and related significant increase
25
in energy costs. While the global inflation rate began to ease in 2023 and 2024 as a result of central bank policy tightening, core inflation has proved persistent
as a result of the preceding factors, in addition to others such as the escalating number of significant geopolitical conflicts throughout the world.
These inflationary conditions could have a greater impact on our operating results in future years. The pace of inflationary changes can also occur
more quickly than our ability to respond with corresponding price increases and cost optimization or reduction measures. In addition, there may be differences
in inflation rates between countries where we incur the major portion of our costs and other countries where we sell products, which may limit our ability to
recover increased costs. The competitive environment in which we operate may also limit our ability to recover higher costs through increased selling prices.
Disruptions in our supply chain for materials and components and the resulting increase in equipment and logistics costs could adversely affect our
financial performance.
We are subject to risk from fluctuating manufacturing costs of our products based on surging consumer demand. Prices of these manufacturing costs,
including the components and materials of our products, may be affected by supply restrictions or other market factors from time to time. We cannot predict
whether the countries in which the components and materials are sourced, or may be sourced in the future, will be subject to new or additional trade restrictions,
including the likelihood, type or effect of any such restrictions. Trade restrictions, including embargoes, safeguards and customs restrictions against certain
components and materials, as well as labor strikes and work stoppages or boycotts, could increase the cost or reduce or delay the supply of components and
materials available to us and our vendors, which could delay or adversely affect the scope of our projects under develop mentor construction and adversely
affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We have identified and may in the future identify additional material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting, which may not be remedied
in a timely manner and could affect the reliability of our financial statements and have other adverse consequences.
As more fully disclosed in “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” of this Annual Report, Legacy Innovex previously identified two material weaknesses
as Legacy Innovex did not design and maintain effective controls related to the accounting for income taxes at a sufficient level of precision or rigor and failed
to employ personnel with adequate expertise to identify and evaluate complex income tax accounting matters. In addition, Dril-Quip identified a material
weakness wherein Dril-Quip did not design and maintain effective controls over the financial statement classification of inventory write-downs related to
restructurings.
As of December 31, 2024, management concluded that the material weakness previously reported by Dril-Quip had been remediated. Our
management has implemented remediation steps related to the material weaknesses for Legacy Innovex but as of December 31, 2024, these Legacy Innovex
material weaknesses have not been remediated. We continue to seek improvements to enhance our control environment and to strengthen our internal controls
to provide reasonable assurance that our financial statements continue to be fairly stated in all material respects.
Effective internal controls are necessary for the us to provide reliable financial reports, prevent fraud and operate successfully. We cannot assure that
we will not in the future have additional material weaknesses. Should new material weaknesses arise or be discovered in the future, material misstatements
could occur and go undetected in our interim or annual consolidated financial statements. If we fail to remediate any future material weaknesses or maintain
proper and effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, we may be required to restate our financial statements, experience delays in satisfying
our reporting obligations or fail to comply with SEC rules and regulations, which could result in investigations and sanctions by regulatory authorities. Any of
these results could adversely affect our business and the value of our common stock.
Our indebtedness and liquidity needs could restrict our operations and make us more vulnerable to adverse economic conditions.
Our existing and future indebtedness, whether incurred in connection with acquisitions, operations or otherwise, and limited access to liquidity may
adversely affect our operations and limit our growth, and we may have difficulty making debt service payments on such indebtedness as payments become due.
Our level of indebtedness may affect our operations in several ways, including the following:
•
increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
•
the covenants that are contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness could limit our ability to borrow funds, dispose of assets, pay
dividends and make certain investments;
26
•
our debt covenants could also affect our flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in the economy and in our industry;
•
any failure to comply with the financial or other debt covenants, including covenants that impose requirements to maintain certain financial
ratios, could result in an event of default, which could result in some or all of our indebtedness becoming immediately due and payable;
•
our level of debt could impair our ability to obtain additional financing, or obtain additional financing on favorable terms, in the future for
working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate purposes; and
•
our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to enable us to meet our obligations under our indebtedness.
Restrictions in our debt agreements and any future financing agreements may limit our ability to finance future operations, meet capital needs or capitalize
on potential acquisitions and other business opportunities.
The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in existing and future debt agreements could restrict our ability to
finance future operations,
meet capital needs or expand or pursue our business activities. For example, our debt agreements restrict or limit our ability to:
•
grant liens;
•
incur additional indebtedness;
•
engage in a merger, consolidation or dissolution;
•
enter into transactions with affiliates;
•
sell or otherwise dispose of assets, businesses and operations;
•
substantially change the nature of our business; and
•
make acquisitions, capital expenditures or other investments and make dividends or repurchase our stock.
Furthermore, our debt agreements contain certain other operating and financial covenants, including the obligation to satisfy a certain fixed charge
coverage ratio, a leverage ratio and a liquidity requirement. Our ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in our debt agreements may be
affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions. If market or other economic conditions deteriorate, our
ability to comply with these covenants may be impaired. If we violate any of the restrictions, covenants, ratios or tests in our debt agreements, all or a
significant portion of our indebtedness may become immediately due and payable, and our lenders’ commitment to make further loans to us may terminate. We
might not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient funds to make these accelerated payments. Our Credit Facility (as defined herein) is secured by liens on
substantially all of our assets and certain of our future subsidiaries and guarantees from certain of our future subsidiaries, and any acceleration of our debt
obligations could result in a foreclosure on the collateral securing such debt. Our debt agreements also require us to make mandatory prepayments in certain
circumstances, including a requirement to make a prepayment of the term loans with a certain percentage of our excess cash flow each year. This excess cash
flow payment, and other future required prepayments, will reduce our cash available for investment in our business. Any subsequent replacement of our debt
agreements or any new indebtedness could have similar or greater restrictions. Please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Credit Agreement.”
An increase in interest rates would increase the cost of servicing our indebtedness and could reduce our profitability, decrease our liquidity and impact our
solvency.
A number of our existing debt agreements provide for, and our future debt agreements may provide for, debt incurred thereunder to bear interest at
variable rates. As a result, increases in interest rates could increase the cost of servicing such indebtedness and materially reduce our profitability and cash
flows.
Our and our customers’ operations are subject to unforeseen interruptions and hazards inherent in the oil and natural gas industry, for which we or our
customers may not be adequately insured and which could cause us to lose customers and substantial revenue.
Our and our customers’ operations are exposed to the risks inherent to our industry, such as equipment defects, vehicle accidents, fires, explosions,
blowouts, surface cratering, uncontrollable flows of gas or well fluids, pipe or pipeline failures,
27
abnormally pressured formations and various environmental hazards, such as oil spills and releases of, and exposure to, hazardous substances. In addition, our
and our customers’ operations are exposed to potential natural disasters, including blizzards, tornadoes, storms, floods, other adverse weather conditions and
earthquakes. The occurrence of any of these events could result in substantial losses to us or our customers due to injury or loss of life, severe damage to or
destruction of property, natural resources and equipment, pollution or other environmental damage, clean-up responsibilities, regulatory investigations and
penalties or other damage resulting in curtailment or suspension of our operations or our customers’ operations. The cost of managing such risks may be
significant. The frequency and severity of such incidents may affect operating costs, insurability and relationships with customers, employees and regulators.
Our customers may elect not to purchase our products and services if they view our environmental or safety record as unacceptable, which could cause us to
lose customers and substantial revenues.
Our insurance may not be adequate to cover all losses or liabilities we may suffer. Furthermore, we may be unable to maintain or obtain insurance of
the type and amount we desire at reasonable rates. As a result of market conditions, premiums and deductibles for certain of our insurance policies have
increased and could escalate further. In addition, sub-limits have been imposed for certain risks. In some instances, certain insurance could become unavailable
or available only for reduced amounts of coverage. If we were to incur a significant liability for which we are not fully insured, it could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we may not be able to secure additional insurance or bonding that might be
required by new governmental regulations. This may cause us to restrict our operations, which might severely impact our financial position.
We attempt to further limit our liability through contractual indemnification provisions with our customers. Due to competitive market pressures, we
may not be able to successfully obtain favorable contractual provisions, and a failure to do so may increase our risks and costs, which could materially impact
our results of operations. In addition, we cannot assure you that any party that is contractually obligated to indemnify us will be financially able to do so or that
a court will enforce all such indemnities.
A terrorist attack or armed conflict could harm our business.
Terrorist activities, anti-terrorist efforts and other armed conflicts involving the United States could adversely affect the U.S. and global economies
and could prevent us from meeting financial and other obligations. We could experience loss of business, delays or defaults in payments from payors or
disruptions of fuel supplies and markets if pipelines, production facilities, processing plants, refineries or transportation facilities are direct targets or indirect
casualties of an act of terror or war. Such activities could reduce the overall demand for oil and natural gas, which, in turn, could also reduce the demand for our
products. Terrorist activities and the threat of potential terrorist activities and any resulting economic downturn could adversely affect our results of operations,
impair our ability to raise capital or otherwise adversely impact our ability to realize certain business strategies.
We design, manufacture, sell, rent and install products that are used in oil and natural gas exploration, development and production activities, which may
subject us to liability, including claims for personal injury, property damage, environmental contamination and other regulatory fines and penalties should
such equipment fail to perform to specifications.
We provide products and systems to customers involved in oil and natural gas exploration, development and production. Some of our equipment is
designed to operate in high-temperature and/ or high-pressure environments, and some equipment is designed for use in hydraulic fracturing operations.
Because of applications to which our products are exposed, particularly those involving high pressure environments, a failure of such equipment, or a failure of
our customers or their contractors to maintain or operate the equipment properly, could cause damage to the equipment, damage to the property of customers
and others, personal injury and environmental contamination and could negatively impact customer relationships, which could subsequently have an adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows.
Our customers typically assume responsibility for, including control and removal of, all pollution or contamination which may occur during
operations, including that which may result from seepage or any other uncontrolled flow of drilling fluids. Losses due to catastrophic events, such as blowouts,
are generally the responsibility of the customer. However, we may have liability in such cases if we are negligent or commit willful acts. In addition,we
typically have mutual indemnification agreements with customers on a “knock-for-knock” basis, which generally means that we and our customers assume
liability for our respective personnel, subcontractors and property. As a result of this allocation of risk, we may be liable for certain losses, which could be
substantial. Furthermore, despite the general allocation of risk whereby our customers have agreed to assume responsibility for or indemnify us against certain
liabilities, we might not succeed in enforcing such contractual allocation or might incur an unforeseen liability falling outside the scope of such allocation.
Litigation arising from a catastrophic occurrence at a location where our products and equipment are being used may result in our being named as a defendant in
lawsuits asserting large claims. In addition, our customers may be
28
unable to satisfy indemnification claims against them. As a result, we may incur substantial losses which could materially and adversely affect our financial
condition and results of operations.
In addition, we rely on third-party insurance as part of our risk mitigation strategy. However, our insurance may not be adequate to cover our
liabilities. Further, insurance companies may refuse to honor their policies, or insurance may not generally be available in the future, or if available, premiums
may not be commercially justifiable. We could incur substantial liabilities and damages that are either not covered by insurance or that are in excess of policy
limits, or incur liability at a time when we are not able to obtain liability insurance. Such potential liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and cash flows.
Oilfield anti-indemnity provisions enacted by many U.S. states may restrict or prohibit a party’s indemnification of us.
We typically enter into agreements with our customers governing the provision of our services, which usually include certain indemnification
provisions for losses resulting from operations. Such agreements may require each party to indemnify the other against certain claims regardless of the
negligence or other fault of the indemnified party; however, many states place limitations on contractual indemnity agreements, particularly agreements that
indemnify a party against the consequences of its own negligence. Furthermore, certain states, including Louisiana, New Mexico, Texas and Wyoming, have
enacted statutes generally referred to as “oilfield anti-indemnity acts” expressly prohibiting certain indemnity agreements contained in or related to oilfield
services agreements. Such oilfield anti-indemnity acts may restrict or void a party’s indemnification of us, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and cash flows.
Seasonal weather conditions, natural disasters, public health crises, and other catastrophic events outside of our control could severely disrupt normal
operations and harm our business.
Our operations are located in different regions of the United States and around the world. Some of these areas are adversely affected by seasonal
weather conditions, primarily in the winter and spring. Weather-related hazards can exist in almost all the areas where we operate. During periods of heavy
snow, ice or rain, we may be unable to obtain adequate supplies of raw material or fuel or receive products shipped by a third party, and our employees may be
unable to travel to supervise and manage implementation of our products and services, thereby reducing our ability to provide our products and technologies
and generate revenues. The exploration activities of our customers may also be affected during such periods of adverse weather conditions. Additionally,
extended drought conditions in our operating regions could impact our ability or our customers’ ability to source sufficient water or increase the cost for such
water. As a result, a natural disaster or inclement weather conditions could severely disrupt the normal operation of our business
and adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Climate change may exacerbate the likelihood or intensity of such natural disasters or
inclement weather conditions. Furthermore, if the area in which we operate or the market demand for oil and natural gas is affected by a public health crisis, or
other similar catastrophic event outside of our control, our business and results of operations could suffer.
Global climate change may in the future increase the frequency and severity of weather events and the losses resulting therefrom, which could have a
material adverse effect on the economies in the markets in which we operate or plan to operate in the future and therefore on our business.
Our business could be negatively affected by climate-change related physical changes or changes in weather patterns. Severe weather events
affecting platforms or structures may result in a suspension of our customer’s exploration and production activities. In addition, impacts of climate change, such
as sea level rise, coastal storm surge, inland flooding from intense rainfall and hurricane-strength winds may damage our facilities or those of our customers. An
increase in severe weather patterns could result in damages to or loss of our equipment, impact our ability to conduct our operations and/or result in a disruption
of our customers’ operations which could be material to our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Our estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate.
Even if our TAM estimates are accurate or the markets in which we compete achieve the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar
rates, if at all. Market estimates and growth forecasts, including those of Rystad Energy and our management, are uncertain and based on assumptions and
estimates that may be inaccurate. The size of our TAM depends on a number of factors, including changes in the competitive landscape, technological changes,
customer budgetary constraints, changes in business practices, changes in the regulatory environment, changes in economic conditions and the price we can
charge for our products and services. Even if the markets in which we compete meet the size estimates and growth rates we estimate or forecast, our business
could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all, which could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline or be volatile.
29
Impairment in the carrying value of long-lived assets, inventory and intangible assets could negatively affect our operating results.
We evaluate our property and equipment for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable, and we could incur additional impairment charges related to the carrying value of our long-lived assets.
Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We evaluate our property and equipment and definite-lived
intangible assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Should the
review indicate that the carrying value is not fully recoverable, the amount of the impairment loss is determined by comparing the carrying value to the
estimated fair value. We assess recoverability based on undiscounted future net cash flows. Estimating future net cash flows requires us to make judgments
regarding long-term forecasts of future revenues and costs related to the assets subject to review. These forecasts are uncertain in that they require assumptions
about our revenue growth, operating margins, capital expenditures, future market conditions and technological developments. If changes in these assumptions
occur, our expectations regarding future net cash flows may change such that a material impairment could result. We incurred long-lived asset write-downs of
approximately $3.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. These charges are reflected as “Impairment of long-lived assets” in our Consolidated
Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
During 2024, Brent crude oil prices fluctuated, with a high of $93.12 per barrel, a low of $70.31 per barrel. According to the January 2025 release of
the Short-Term Energy Outlook published by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the U.S. Department of Energy, Brent crude oil prices averaged
approximately $81 per barrel in 2024, and the price is forecasted to average $74 per barrel in 2025 and $66 per barrel in 2026. Crude oil prices have fluctuated
considerably in recent years, in large part due to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The conflict between Israel and Hamas may also have an
impact on energy and commodity prices. We are unable to predict the impact that future supply and demand balances, weather events or conflicts may have on
the global economy, our industry or our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Further, continued volatility in market conditions may
further deteriorate the financial performance or future prospects of our operations from current levels, which may result in an impairment of long-lived assets or
inventory and negatively impact our financial results in the period of impairment.
We may be required to recognize a charge against current earnings because of over time method of accounting.
Revenues and profits on long-term project contracts are recognized on an over time basis. We calculate the percent complete and apply the
percentage to determine revenues earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated costs. Accordingly, purchase order price and cost estimates are reviewed
periodically as the work progresses, and adjustments proportionate to the percentage complete are reflected in the period when such estimates are revised. To
the extent that these adjustments result in a reduction or elimination of previously reported profits, we would have to recognize a charge against current
earnings, which could be significant depending on the size of the project or the adjustment.
Risks Related to Environmental and Regulatory Matters
Our operations and the operations of our customers are subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, and future compliance, claims,
and liabilities relating to such matters may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
The nature of our customers’ operations, including the sourcing, handling, transporting and disposing of a variety of fluids and substances, including
hydraulic fracturing fluids, such as produced water, and other regulated substances, air emissions, and wastewater discharges exposes our customers to some
risk of environmental liability, including the release of pollutants from oil and natural gas wells and associated equipment to the environment. Failure of our
customers to properly handle, transport or dispose of these materials or otherwise conduct their operations in accordance with environmental, health and safety
laws could expose such customers to substantial liability for administrative, civil and criminal penalties, cleanup and site restoration costs and liability
associated with the release of such materials, damages to natural resources and other damages, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and cash flows. We are also subject to laws and regulations associated with equipment manufacturing operations, including the processing, and the
related storage, handling, transportation and disposal of raw materials, products and wastes. The cost of compliance with these laws can be significant. We are
required to invest financial and managerial resources to comply with such laws and regulations and anticipate that we will continue to be required to do so in the
future.
30
Additionally, environmental, health and safety laws and regulations have changed in the past, and they may change in the future and become more
stringent. Current and future claims and liabilities with respect to environmental, health and safety laws may have a material adverse effect on both us and our
customers because of potential adverse outcomes, defense costs, diversion of management resources, unavailability of insurance coverage and other factors. If
existing environmental, health and safety requirements or enforcement policies change, we may be required to make significant unanticipated operating
expenditures. For more information, see “Business—Environmental, Health and Safety Regulation.”
Our operations, and those of our customers, are subject to compliance with governmental regulations related to climate change.
Climate change continues to attract considerable public and scientific attention. As a result, numerous proposals have been made and are likely to
continue to be made at the international, national, regional and state levels of government to monitor and limit emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other
greenhouse gases (“GHGs”). These efforts have included consideration of cap-and-trade programs, carbon taxes, GHG reporting and tracking programs and
regulations that directly limit GHG emissions from certain sources.
In the United States, no comprehensive climate change legislation has been implemented at the federal level. However, President Biden established
addressing climate change as a priority of his administration and issued several executive orders addressing climate change. Additionally, in 2021 and 2022,
President Biden signed into law the IRA, which contains billions of dollars in incentives and other provisions to advance the investment, development, and
deployment of alternative energy sources and technologies. Moreover, the EPA has adopted regulations that, among other things, establish construction and
operating permit reviews for GHG emissions from certain large stationary sources, require the monitoring and annual reporting of GHG emissions from certain
petroleum and natural gas system sources in the United States, and together with the Department of Transportation, set GHG emissions and fuel economy
standards for vehicles in the United States. The regulation of methane from oil and natural gas facilities has been subject to uncertainty in recent years. The EPA
previously had promulgated new source performance standards (“NSPS”) imposing limitations on methane emissions from sources in the oil and natural gas
sector. Subsequently, in September 2020, the Trump Administration rescinded those methane standards and removed the transmission and storage segments
from the oil and natural gas source category under the CAA’s NSPS. However, in June 2021, President Biden signed a resolution passed by the U.S. Congress
under the Congressional Review Act nullifying the September 2020 rule, effectively reinstating the prior standards. In March 2024, the EPA published new
final regulations to expand NSPS requirements for oil and natural gas sector sources and establish comprehensive standards of performance and emission
guidelines for methane and volatile organic compound emissions from existing operations in the oil and natural gas sector, including the exploration and
production, transmission, processing, and storage segments. These new standards could result in increased costs for our customers and consequently adversely
affect demand for our products. However, on January 20, 2025, President Trump signed multiple executive orders seeking to reverse these climate incentives,
including pausing the disbursement of funds under the IRA. The same day, President Trump also issued executive orders to encourage fossil fuel production and
exploration on federal lands and waters, while moving away from renewable energy and electric vehicles.
Separately, various states and groups of states have adopted or are considering adopting legislation, regulation or other regulatory initiatives that are
focused on such areas as GHG cap and trade programs, carbon taxes, reporting and tracking programs, and restriction of emissions. For example, several states,
including Pennsylvania and New Mexico, have adopted regulations restricting the emission of methane from exploration and production activities. At the
international level, in December 2015, the United States participated in the 21st Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change in Paris, France. The resulting “Paris Agreement” calls for the parties to undertake “ambitious efforts” to limit the average global temperature
and requires member states to submit non-binding, individually determined reduction goals known as “Nationally Determined Contributions” every five years
after 2020. In April 2021, President Biden announced a goal of reducing the U.S.’s emissions by 50-52% below 2005 levels by 2030. In November 2021, in
connection with the 26th Conference of the Parties in Glasgow, Scotland the United States and other world leaders made further commitments to reduce GHG
emissions, including reducing global methane emissions by at least 30% by 2030 from 2020 levels. More than 150 countries have now signed on to this pledge.
At the 28th Conference of the Parties in the United Arab Emirates, world leaders agreed to transition away from fossil fuels in a just, orderly and equitable
manner and to triple renewables and double energy efficiency globally by 2030. Additionally, the Biden Administration announced a new climate target for the
United States on December 19, 2024, which includes a 61-66% reduction in economy-wide net GHG emissions by 2035, as compared to 2005 levels. Though
President Trump issued an executive order on January 20, 2025, directing the United States Ambassador to the United Nations to immediately withdraw from
the Paris Agreement, international, regional, and state actions to limit GHG emissions could reduce the demand for our products.
Litigation risks are also increasing as a number of entities have sought to bring suit against various oil and natural gas companies in state or federal
court, alleging among other things, that such companies created public nuisances by producing fuels that
31
contributed to climate change or alleging that the companies have been aware of the adverse effects of climate change for some time but defrauded their
investors or customers by failing to adequately disclose those impacts.
There are also increasing financial risks for fossil fuel producers as stockholders currently invested in fossil fuel energy companies may elect in the
future to shift some or all of their investments into non-fossil fuel related sectors. Institutional lenders who provide financing to fossil fuel energy companies
also have become more attentive to sustainable lending practices and some of them may elect not to provide funding for fossil fuel energy companies. There is
also a risk that financial institutions will be required to adopt policies that have the effect of reducing the funding provided to the fossil fuel sector. Limitation of
investments in and financing for fossil fuel energy companies could result in the restriction, delay or cancellation of drilling programs or development or
production activities. Additionally, the SEC published final rules on March 28, 2024 relating to the disclosure of a range of climate-related risks. Several
lawsuits have been filed challenging the rules. In April 2024, the SEC agreed to pause the rules to facilitate an orderly judicial resolution. We are currently
assessing this rule but at this time we cannot predict the costs of implementation or any potential adverse impacts resulting from the rule. To the extent the rules
are implemented, we or our customers could incur increased costs related to the assessment and disclosure of climate-related risks. In addition, enhanced
climate disclosure requirements could accelerate the trend of certain stakeholders and lenders restricting or seeking more stringent conditions with respect to
their investments in certain carbon intensive sectors.
The adoption and implementation of new or more stringent international, federal or state legislation, regulations or other regulatory initiatives that
impose more stringent standards for GHG emissions from the oil and natural gas sector or otherwise restrict the areas in which this sector may produce oil and
natural gas or generate the GHG emissions could result in increased costs of compliance or costs of consuming, and thereby reduce demand for oil and natural
gas, which could reduce demand for our products. Additionally, political, litigation and financial risks may result in our customers restricting or canceling
production activities, incurring liability for infrastructure damages as a result of climatic changes, or impairing their ability to continue to operate in an
economic manner, which also could reduce the demand for our products. One or more of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Finally, many scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of GHG in the atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant
physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, and floods and other climate events that could have an adverse effect on our and
our customers’ operations.
Federal, state and local legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing as well as governmental reviews and investment practices for
such activities may serve to limit future oil and natural gas exploration and production activities and could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations and business.
Various federal, state and local legislative and regulatory initiatives have been, or could be undertaken which could result in additional requirements
or restrictions being imposed on hydraulic fracturing operations. Currently, hydraulic fracturing is generally exempt from federal regulation under the Safe
Drinking Water Act Underground Injection Control (the “SDWA UIC”) program and is typically regulated by state oil and natural gas commissions or similar
agencies. However, certain federal agencies have increased scrutiny and regulation. For example, in late 2016, the EPA released a final report on the potential
impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water resources, concluding that “water cycle” activities associated with hydraulic fracturing may impact drinking
water resources under certain limited circumstances. Additionally, the EPA has asserted regulatory authority pursuant to the SDWA UIC program over
hydraulic fracturing activities involving the use of diesel fuel in the fracturing fluid and issued guidance of such activities. Furthermore, the U.S. Bureau of
Land Management (the “BLM”) published a final rule in 2015 that established stringent standards relating to hydraulic fracturing on federal and Native
American lands. The rule was rescinded by the BLM under the Trump Administration in 2017, but the rescission is currently on appeal to the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and new or more stringent regulations may be promulgated. Similarly, the EPA has adopted rules on the capture of methane and
other emissions released during hydraulic fracturing. In addition to federal regulatory actions, legislation has been introduced, but not enacted, in U.S. Congress
to provide for federal regulation of hydraulic fracturing and to require disclosure of the chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing process.
Separately, many states and local governments have also adopted regulations that impose more stringent permitting, disclosure, disposal and well-
construction requirements on hydraulic fracturing operations, including states where we or our customers operate, such as Texas, Colorado and North Dakota.
States could also elect to place prohibitions on hydraulic fracturing, as several states have already done. In addition, some states have adopted broader sets of
requirements related to oil and natural gas development more generally that could impact hydraulic fracturing activities. Separately, state and federal regulatory
agencies have at times focused on a possible connection between hydraulic fracturing related activities, including the underground injection of wastewater into
disposal wells,and the increased occurrence of seismic activity. Regulators in some states have imposed, or are considering
32
imposing, additional requirements in the permitting of produced water disposal wells or otherwise to assess any relationship between seismicity and the use of
such wells. To the extent any new regulations are adopted to restrict hydraulic fracturing activities or the disposal of fluids associated with such activities, it
may adversely affect our customers and, as a result, demand for our products.
Increased regulation and attention given to the hydraulic fracturing process could lead to greater opposition to, and litigation concerning, oil and
natural gas production activities using hydraulic fracturing techniques. Additional legislation or regulation could also lead to operational delays for our
customers or increased operating costs in the production of oil and natural gas, including from the developing shale plays, or could make it more difficult for
our customers to perform hydraulic fracturing. The adoption of any additional laws or regulations regarding hydraulic fracturing or further restrictions on the
availability of capital for hydraulic fracturing could potentially cause a decrease in the completion of new oil and natural gas wells, increased compliance costs
and time and an associated decrease in demand for our products. Such a decrease could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, consolidated results of
operations, and consolidated financial condition. Moreover, the increased competitiveness of alternative energy sources (such as wind, solar, geothermal,
nuclear, tidal and biofuels) or increased focus on reducing the use of combustion engines in transportation (such as governmental mandates that ban the sale of
new gasoline-powered automobiles) could reduce demand for hydrocarbons and therefore for our products, which would lead to a reduction in our revenues and
adversely affect our financial performance.
Conservation measures, commercial development and technological advances could reduce demand for oil and natural gas and our products.
Fuel conservation measures, alternative fuel requirements, increasing consumer demand for alternatives to oil and natural gas, technological advances
in fuel economy and energy generation devices could reduce demand for oil and natural gas, resulting in reduced demand for oilfield services. The impact of the
changing demand for oil and natural gas services and products may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.
The commercial development of economically viable alternative energy sources and related products (such as electric vehicles, wind, solar,
geothermal, nuclear, tidal, fuel cells and biofuels) could have a similar effect. In addition, certain U.S. federal income tax deductions currently available with
respect to oil and natural gas exploration and development, including the allowance of percentage depletion for oil and natural gas properties, may be eliminated
as a result of proposed legislation. Any future decreases in the rate at which oil and natural gas reserves are discovered or developed, whether due to the passage
of legislation, increased governmental regulation leading to limitations, or prohibitions on exploration and drilling activity, including hydraulic fracturing, or
other factors, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition, even in a stronger oil and natural gas price environment.
Additional restrictions on drilling activities intended to protect certain species of wildlife may adversely affect our ability to conduct completion activities.
In the United States, the Endangered Species Act (the “ESA”) restricts activities that may affect endangered or threatened species or their habitats.
Similar protections are offered to migratory birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (the“MBTA”). To the extent species that are listed under the ESA or
similar state laws, or are protected under the MBTA, inhabit the areas where our customers operate, the operations of our customers could be adversely
impacted. Moreover, drilling activities may be delayed, restricted or precluded in protected habitat areas or during certain seasons, such as breeding and nesting
seasons. The listing of new species under the ESA in the areas where our customers operate similarly has the potential to adversely impact our operations and
demand for our products as a result of restrictions on oil and natural gas activities. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and similar state agencies may also
designate critical or suitable habitat areas that they believe are necessary for the survival of threatened or endangered species. The designation of previously
unidentified endangered or threatened species or their habitat could cause the operations of our customers to become subject to operating restrictions or bans,
and limit future development activity in affected areas.
Demand for our products and services could be reduced by existing and future legislation, regulations and public sentiment related to the transition away
from fossil fuel energy sources.
Regulatory agencies and environmental advocacy groups in the European Union, the United States and other regions or countries have been focusing
considerable attention on the emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases and their role in climate change. There is also increased focus,
including by governments and our customers, investors and other stakeholders, on these and other sustainability and energy transition matters. Existing or future
legislation and regulations related to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, as well as initiatives by governments, nongovernmental organizations, and
companies to conserve energy or promote the use of alternative energy sources, and negative attitudes toward or perceptions of fossil fuel products and their
33
relationship to the environment, may significantly curtail demand for and production of oil and gas in areas of the world where our customers operate, and thus
reduce future demand for our products and services. This may, in turn, adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Our
business, reputation and demand for our stock could be negatively affected if we do not (or are perceived to not) act responsibly with respect to sustainability
matters.
Risks Related to Technology Advancement
To compete in our industry, we must continue to develop new technologies and products to support our operations, secure and maintain patents related to
our current and new technologies and products and protect and enforce our intellectual property rights.
The markets for our products are characterized by continual technological developments. We may face competition in the future from companies
using new technologies and new systems. If we cannot continue to develop and market innovative technologies to meet customers’ requirements, our business
may not expand and grow as planned. For us to keep pace with technological changes and remain competitive, we will need to continue to make significant
investments in new technologies and research and development, including to design and launch new products and services. New technologies may also be
protected by third party patents or other intellectual property rights and therefore may not be available for our use or protection. Further, alternative products
and services may be developed which may compete with or displace our products. We may not be able to successfully differentiate our products from those of
our competitors. Our clients may not consider our proposed products to be of value to them; or if the proposed products are of a competitive nature, our clients
may not view them as superior to our competitors’ products. If we are not able to develop commercially competitive products in a timely manner in response,
our ability to service our customers’ demands may be adversely affected. Our future ability to develop new products and technologies in order to support our
operations depends on our ability to design and produce products that allow us to meet the needs of our customers and third parties on an integrated basis and
obtain and maintain patent protection.
We may encounter resource constraints, technical barriers, or other difficulties that would delay introduction of new products in the future. Our
competitors may introduce new products or obtain patents before we do and achieve a competitive advantage. Additionally, the time and expense invested in
product development may not result in commercial applications. In addition, continuing development or acquisition of new products inherently carries the risk
of inventory obsolescence with respect to our older products.
While we believe that we are not dependent on any one patent to protect our material technology, obtaining patent protection for our products is an
important component of our overall competitive business strategy. We currently hold, as of December 31, 2024, approximately 829 U.S. and international
patent properties, which give the owner of a patent the right to exclude third parties from making, using, selling, and offering for sale the inventions claimed in
the patents in the applicable country. Patent rights do not necessarily grant the owner of a patent the right to practice the invention claimed in a patent, but
merely the right to exclude others from practicing the invention claimed in the patent. Patent laws and their implementation vary throughout the world. Some
foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as U.S. laws. Further, policing the unauthorized use of our intellectual property in
foreign jurisdictions may be difficult. Therefore, our intellectual property rights may not be as strong or as easily enforced outside of the United States. It may
also be possible for a third party to design around our patents. Furthermore, patent rights have territorial limits. Some of our work will be conducted in
international waters and would, therefore, not fall within the scope of any country’s patent jurisdiction. We may not be able to enforce our patents against
infringement occurring in international waters and other “non-covered” territories. Also, we do not have patents in every jurisdiction in which we conduct
business and our patent portfolio will not protect all aspects of our business and may relate to obsolete or unusual methods, which would not prevent third
parties from entering the same market.
We attempt to limit access to and distribution of our technology and trade secrets by customarily entering into confidentiality agreements with our
employees, customers and potential customers and suppliers. However, our rights in our confidential information, trade secrets, and confidential know-how will
not prevent third parties from independently developing similar information. Publicly available information (for example, information in expired issued patents,
published patent applications, and scientific literature) can also be used by third parties to independently develop technology. We cannot provide assurance that
this independently developed technology will not be equivalent or superior to our proprietary technology.
In addition, we may become involved in legal proceedings from time to time to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights. Further, our
intellectual property rights may not have the value that management believes them to have and such value may change over time as we and others develop new
product designs and improvements.
34
If we are unable to obtain patents, licenses and other intellectual property rights covering our products, our operating results may be adversely affected.
Our success depends, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, licenses and other intellectual property rights covering our products. To that end, we
have obtained certain patents and intend to continue to seek patents on some of our inventions, technologies and products. While we have patented some of our
key technologies, we do not patent all of our proprietary technology, even when regarded as patentable. The process of seeking patent protection can be long
and expensive. Further, there can be no assurance that patents will be issued from currently pending or future applications or that, if patents are issued, they will
be of sufficient scope or strength to provide meaningful protection or any commercial advantage to us. In addition, effective copyright and trade secret
protection may be unavailable or limited in certain countries. Litigation, which could demand significant financial and management resources, may be necessary
to enforce our patents or other intellectual property rights. Also, there can be no assurance that we can obtain licenses or other rights to necessary intellectual
property on acceptable terms. Failure to secure adequate protection for our intellectual property rights could result in our competitors offering similar services
and products, potentially resulting in the loss of some of our competitive advantage, which could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition
and operating results.
Patent terms may be inadequate to protect our competitive position for an adequate amount of time.
Patents have a limited lifespan, and the protection patents afford is limited. In the United States, if all maintenance fees are timely paid, the natural
expiration of a patent is generally 20 years from its earliest U.S. non-provisional filing date. Even if patents covering our product are obtained, once the patent
life has expired for patents covering a product, we may be subject to competition from competitive products and services. As a result, our patent portfolio may
not provide us with sufficient rights to exclude others from commercializing products similar or identical to ours.
Technology disputes could negatively impact our operations or increase our costs.
Our products use proprietary technology and equipment, which can involve potential infringement of a third party’s rights, or a third party’s
infringement of our rights, including patent rights. The majority of the intellectual property rights relating to our products are owned by us. However, in the
event that we or one of our customers becomes involved in a dispute over infringement of intellectual property rights relating to equipment or technology
owned or used by us, services performed by us or products provided by us, we may lose access to important equipment or technology or our ability to provide
our products, or we could be required to cease use of some equipment or technology or forced to modify our equipment, technology or products. We could also
be required to pay license fees or royalties for the use of equipment or technology or products. In addition, we may lose a competitive advantage in the event we
are unsuccessful in enforcing our rights against third parties. Regardless of the merits, any such claims may result in significant legal and other costs, including
reputational harm, and may strain our resources. Some of our competitors and current and potential vendors have a substantial amount of intellectual property
related to new equipment and technologies. We cannot guarantee that our equipment, technology or products will not be determined to infringe currently issued
or future issued patents or other intellectual property rights belonging to others, including, without limitation, situations in which our equipment, technology or
products may be covered by patent applications filed by other parties. Technology disputes involving us or our customers or supplying vendors could have a
material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
Our failure to protect our proprietary information and any successful intellectual property challenges against us could materially and adversely affect our
competitive position.
The protection of our intellectual property rights is essential to maintaining our competitive position and recognizing the value of our investments in
technology and intellectual property in our existing and future products. We rely on patent and trade secret protection for certain aspects of our technology, in
part through confidentiality and other written agreements with our employees, consultants and third parties. Through these and other written agreements, we
attempt to control access to and distribution of our intellectual property documentation and other proprietary technology information. Despite our efforts to
protect our proprietary rights, former employees, consultants or third parties may, in an unauthorized manner, attempt to use, copy or otherwise obtain and
market or distribute our intellectual property rights or technology or otherwise develop a product with the same functionality as our technology. Policing
unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights is difficult, and nearly impossible on a worldwide basis. Therefore, we cannot be certain that the steps we
have taken or will take in the future will prevent misappropriation of our technology or intellectual property rights.
We also actively pursue patent protection for our proprietary technology and intellectual property. The process of seeking patent protection can be
long and expensive and we cannot be certain that any currently pending or future applications will actually result in issued patents, or that, even if patents are
issued, they will be respected by third parties. In addition,our competitors may be
35
able to develop technology independently that is similar to ours without infringing on our patents or gaining access to our trade secrets, and this could have a
similar effect on our competitive position.
Intellectual property litigation and threats of litigation are becoming more common in the oilfield services industry. We may in the future be involved
in litigation, in the United States or abroad, to enforce our patents or other intellectual property rights or to protect our trade secrets and know-how. These
actions can require multiple years to come to resolution or settlement, and even if we ultimately prevail, we may be unable to realize adequate protection of our
competitive position. In addition, these actions commonly result in counteractions by the affected third parties to attack the validity of our patents. While we
intend to prosecute these actions vigorously, there is no guarantee of success, and such effort takes significant financial and management resources from the
Company. In the event that one or more of our patents are challenged, a court or the USPTO may invalidate the patent(s) or determine that the patent(s) is not
enforceable, which could harm our competitive position. If our patents are invalidated, or if the scope of the claims in any of these patents is limited by a court
or USPTO decision, we could be prevented from pursuing certain litigation matters or licensing the invalidated or limited portion of such patents. Such adverse
decisions could negatively impact our future, expected revenue. Patent litigation, if necessary or when instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and
divert our management’s attention and resources.
We may be subject to claims that our employees, consultants, or advisors have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their current or former
employers or claims asserting ownership of what we regard as our own intellectual property.
Many of our employees and consultants are currently or were previously employed at other companies in our field, including our competitors or
potential competitors. Although we try to ensure that our employees and consultants do not use the proprietary information or know-how of others in their work
for us, we may be subject to claims that we or these individuals have used or disclosed intellectual property, including trade secrets or other proprietary
information, of any such individual’s current or former employer. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. If we fail in defending any such
claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel. Even if we are successful in defending against
such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management.
In addition, while it is our policy to require our employees and contractors who may be involved in the conception or development of intellectual
property to execute agreements assigning such intellectual property to us, we may be unsuccessful in executing such an agreement with each party who, in fact,
conceives or develops intellectual property that we regard as our own. The assignment of intellectual property rights may not be self-executing, or the
assignment agreements may be breached, and we may be forced to bring claims against third parties or defend claims that they may bring against us to
determine the ownership of what we regard as our intellectual property. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects.
We may be adversely affected by disputes regarding intellectual property rights of third parties.
Third parties from time to time may initiate litigation against us by asserting that the conduct of our business infringes, misappropriates or otherwise
violates intellectual property rights. We may not prevail in any such legal proceedings related to such claims, and our products and services may be found to
infringe, impair, misappropriate, dilute or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of others. If we are sued for infringement and lose, we could be
required to pay substantial damages and/ or be enjoined from using or selling the infringing products or technology. Any legal proceeding concerning
intellectual property could be protracted and costly regardless of the merits of any claim and is inherently unpredictable and could have a material adverse effect
on our financial condition, regardless of its outcome.
If we were to discover that our technologies or products infringe valid intellectual property rights of third parties, we may need to obtain licenses
from these parties or substantially re-engineer our products in order to avoid infringement. We may not be able to obtain the necessary licenses on acceptable
terms, or at all, or be able to re-engineer our products successfully. If our inability to obtain required licenses for our technologies or products prevents us from
selling our products, that could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.
Additionally, we currently license certain third-party intellectual property in connection with our business, and the loss of any such license could
adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.
36
If we are not able to design, develop, and produce commercially competitive products, our business and consolidated results of operations and the value of
our intellectual property could be materially and adversely affected.
The market for our products is characterized by continual technological developments to provide better and more reliable performance and enhanced
product offerings. If we are not able to design, develop, and produce commercially competitive products in a timely manner in response to changes in the
market, customer requirements, competitive pressures, and technology trends, our business and consolidated results of operations and the value of our
intellectual property could be materially and adversely affected. Likewise, if our proprietary technologies, equipment, facilities, or work processes become
obsolete, our business may no longer be competitive, and our consolidated results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
We are subject to cyber security risks. A cyber incident could occur and result in information theft, data corruption, operational disruption and/or financial
loss.
The oil and natural gas industry has become increasingly dependent on digital technologies to conduct certain processing activities. At the same time,
cyber incidents, including deliberate attacks or unintentional events, have increased. The U.S. government has issued public warnings that indicate that energy
assets might be specific targets of cyber security threats. Our technologies, systems and networks, and those of our customers, vendors, suppliers and other
business partners, may become the target of cyber attacks or information security breaches that could result in the unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring,
misuse, loss or destruction of proprietary and other information, or other disruption of our business operations. In addition, certain cyber incidents, such as
surveillance, may remain undetected for an extended period. Our systems for protecting against cyber security risks may not be sufficient. As cyber incidents
continue to evolve, we may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate
any vulnerability to cyber incidents.
We have experienced IT system disruptions and cyber attacks in the past, and a failure of our IT infrastructure and cyber attacks could adversely impact us
in the future.
We depend on our IT systems for the efficient operation of our business. Accordingly, we rely upon the capacity, reliability and security of our IT
hardware and software infrastructure and our ability to expand and update this infrastructure in response to our changing needs. Despite our implementation of
security measures, our systems are vulnerable to damage from computer viruses, natural disasters, incursions by intruders or hackers, failures in hardware or
software, power fluctuations, cyber terrorists and other similar disruptions. Additionally, we rely on third parties to support the operation of our IT hardware and
software infrastructure, and in certain instances, utilize web-based applications. We routinely monitor our systems for IT disruptions and cyber attacks and have
processes in place to detect and remediate vulnerabilities. Nevertheless, we have experienced occasional IT disruptions, cyber attacks and attempted breaches,
including attacks resulting from phishing emails. We responded to and mitigated the impact of these incidents. The failure of our IT systems or those of our
vendors to perform as anticipated for any reason or any significant breach of security could disrupt our business and result in numerous adverse consequences,
including reduced effectiveness and efficiency of operations, inappropriate disclosure of confidential and proprietary information, reputational harm, increased
overhead costs, loss of important information, theft or misappropriation of funds, violation of privacy or other laws, and exposure to litigation or indemnity
claims, including resulting from customer-imposed cyber security controls or other related contractual obligations, which could have a material adverse effect
on our business and results of operations. In addition, we may be required to incur significant costs to protect against damage caused by these disruptions or
security breaches in the future.
Unauthorized access to or modification of, or actions disabling our ability to obtain authorized access to, our customers’ data, other external data,
personal data, or our own data, as a result of a cyber incident, attack or exploitation of a security vulnerability, or loss of control of our clients’ operations could
result in significant damage to our reputation or disruption of the services we provide to our customers or of our customers’ businesses. In addition, allegations,
reports, or concerns regarding vulnerabilities affecting our digital products or services could damage our reputation. This could lead to fewer customers using
our digital products and services, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and future prospects.
In addition, if our systems or third-party products, services, and network systems for protecting against cybersecurity risks prove to be insufficient, we could be
adversely affected by, among other things, loss of or damage to our intellectual property, proprietary or confidential information; loss of customer, supplier, or
our employee data; breach of personal data; interruption of our business operations; disruption of our customers’ businesses; increased legal and regulatory
exposure, including fines and remediation costs; and increased costs required to prevent, respond to, or mitigate cybersecurity attacks. These risks could harm
our reputation and our relationships with our employees, our customers, our suppliers, our alliance partners and other third parties, and may result in claims
against us.
37
Our business is subject to complex and evolving U.S. and foreign laws and regulations regarding privacy and data protection.
The regulatory environment surrounding data privacy and protection is constantly evolving and can be subject to significant change. New laws and
regulations governing data privacy and the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, including the European Union General Data Protection
Regulation and recent California legislation, pose increasingly complex compliance challenges and potentially elevate our costs. Any failure, or perceived
failure, by us to comply with applicable data protection laws could result in proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others, subject us to
significant fines, penalties, judgments and negative publicity, require us to change our business practices, increase the costs and complexity of compliance, and
adversely affect our business. As noted above, we are also subject to the possibility of cyber incidents or attacks, which themselves may result in a violation of
these laws. Additionally, if we acquire a company that has violated or is not in compliance with applicable data protection laws, we may incur significant
liabilities and penalties as a result.
Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock
The market price of our common stock may be volatile.
The trading price of our common stock and the price at which we may sell common stock in the future are subject to large fluctuations in response to
any of the following:
•
limited trading volume in our common stock;
•
quarterly variations in operating results;
•
general financial market conditions;
•
the prices of natural gas and oil;
•
announcements by us and our competitors;
•
our liquidity;
•
changes in government regulations;
•
our ability to raise additional funds;
•
our involvement in litigation; and
•
other events.
A significant reduction by Amberjack of its ownership interests in us could adversely affect us.
We believe that Amberjack Capital Partners, L.P.’s (“Amberjack”) substantial ownership interest in us provides it with an economic incentive to
assist us to be successful. Upon the expiration of the lock-up restrictions on transfers or sales of our securities set forth in the stockholders’ agreement entered
into in connection with the Merger (the “Stockholders Agreement”), Amberjack and its affiliates will not be subject to any obligation to maintain their
ownership interest in us and may elect at any time to sell all or a substantial portion of or otherwise reduce their ownership interest in us. If Amberjack sells all
or a substantial portion of its ownership interests in us, Amberjack may have less incentive to assist in our success and directors associated with Amberjack may
choose to resign from their positions as members of our board of directors. Such actions could adversely affect our ability to successfully implement our
business strategies which could adversely affect our cash flows or results of operations.
Amberjack and its affiliates have the ability to exercise significant influence over certain corporate actions.
Amberjack and its affiliates currently own approximately 42% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders could have
significant influence over the outcome of matters requiring a stockholder vote, including the election of directors, the adoption of any amendment to our bylaws
and the approval of mergers and other significant corporate transactions. Their influence over us may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of
control or may adversely affect the voting and other rights of other stockholders. In addition, pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, subject to certain
exceptions, Amberjack and its affiliates have the right to designate four nominees for election to our board of directors. Finally, if these stockholders were in the
future to sell all or a material number of shares of common stock, the market price of our common stock could be negatively impacted.
38
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of the Company, which may be beneficial to
our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of the
Company that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which you might otherwise receive a premium for your shares. These provisions
could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, thereby depressing the market price of our
common stock. In addition, because our board of directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions may frustrate or
prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our
board of directors. Among other things, these provisions include those establishing:
•
provisions relating to the classification, nomination and removal of our directors;
•
provisions regulating the ability of our stockholders to bring matters for action at annual meetings of our stockholders;
•
provisions requiring the approval of the holders of at least 80% of our voting stock for a broad range of business combination transactions with
related persons; and
•
the authorization given to our board of directors to issue and set the terms of preferred stock.
In addition, Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from
engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. An interested
stockholder includes a person, individually or together with any other interested stockholder, who within the last three years has owned 15% of our voting stock.
Amberjack is not limited in its ability to compete with us. Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, Amberjack and its affiliates are not required
to communicate or offer corporate opportunities to us, and our directors and officers may be permitted to offer certain corporate opportunities to Amberjack
or its affiliates before us.
Amberjack may invest in other companies in the future that may compete with us. Conflicts of interest could arise in the future between us, on the
one hand, and Amberjack, on the other hand, concerning among other things, potential competitive business activities or business opportunities.
Our board of directors includes persons who are also directors and/or officers of members of Amberjack or its affiliates. The Stockholders Agreement
provides that to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and subject to applicable legal requirements and any express agreement, the Company has agreed that
Amberjack and its affiliates and each Amberjack designee to our board of directors that is also a director, officer, employee or other representative of
Amberjack (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) may, and have no duty not to, (i) invest in, carry on and conduct any business of any kind, nature or
description, whether or not such business is competitive with or in the same or similar lines of business as the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) do
business with any client, customer, vendor or lessor of any of the Company or its affiliates, and/or (iii) make investments in any kind of property in which the
Company or its subsidiaries may make investments. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or any other applicable law, the Company renounces any
interest or expectancy to participate in any business, business opportunity, transaction, investment or other matter of any Covered Person as currently conducted
or as may be conducted in the future, and waives any claim against a Covered Person and shall indemnify a Covered Person against any claim that such
Covered Person is liable to the Company or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty or otherwise solely by reason of such Covered Person’s
participation in, or failure to offer or communicate to the Company, its subsidiaries or any controlled affiliates any information regarding, any such business
opportunity.
Our bylaws provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the United States are the exclusive forums for
substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with
us or our directors, officers or employees.
Our bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not
have, or declines to accept, jurisdiction, another state court or a federal court located within the State of Delaware) is the exclusive forum for any claims,
including claims in the right of the Company: (a) that are based upon a violation of a duty by a current or former director, officer, employee or stockholder in
such capacity, or (b) as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction upon the Court of Chancery. This provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty
or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the U.S. federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. The bylaws further provide that the sole
and exclusive forum for any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, to the fullest extent permitted by
39
law, shall be the federal district courts of the United States. The enforceability of similar exclusive federal forum provisions in other companies’ organizational
documents has been challenged in legal proceedings, and while the Delaware Supreme Court has ruled that this type of exclusive federal forum provision is
facially valid under Delaware law, there is uncertainty as to whether other courts would enforce such provisions and that investors cannot waive compliance
with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. These exclusive forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a
judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our
directors, officers, and other employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find either exclusive forum provision in our bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable
in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, and results of operations.
We do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future, and our existing debt agreements
place certain restrictions on our ability to do so.
We do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain
all future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business, and the payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of
directors and will depend upon then-existing conditions, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, investment opportunities,
statutory restrictions on our ability to pay dividends and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, our existing debt agreements place,
and we expect our future debt agreements will place, certain restrictions on our ability to pay cash dividends. Consequently, unless we revise our dividend
policy, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment is if the price of our common stock appreciates. There is no guarantee that the price of our
common stock that will prevail in the market will ever exceed the price that you pay in this offering.
We may issue preferred stock whose terms could adversely affect the voting power or value of our common stock.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will authorize us to issue, without the approval of our stockholders, one or more classes or
series of preferred stock having such designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights, including preferences over our common stock respecting
dividends and distributions, as our board of directors may determine. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred stock could adversely impact the
voting power or value of our common stock. For example, we might grant holders of preferred stock the right to elect some number of our directors in all events
or on the happening of specified events or the right to veto specified transactions. Similarly, the repurchase or redemption rights or liquidation preferences we
might assign to holders of preferred stock could affect the residual value of the common stock.

None.
Item 1C. Cybersecurity.
Innovex maintains a cyber risk management program designed to identify, assess, manage, mitigate, and respond to cybersecurity threats. The
underlying controls of the cyber risk management program are based on recognized best practices and standards for cybersecurity and information technology,
including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) and the Cybersecurity Framework. Innovex has an annual assessment, performed by a
third party, of the Company’s cyber risk management program against the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. Innovex contracts a Cyber Security Operations
Center operating in three locations to provide 24/7 monitoring of its global cybersecurity environment and to coordinate the investigation and remediation of
alerts. An annual incident response drill is in place to prepare support teams in the event of a significant incident. Cyber partners are a key part of Innovex’s
cybersecurity infrastructure. Innovex partners with leading cybersecurity companies and organizations, leveraging third-party technology and expertise. Innovex
engages with these partners to monitor and maintain the performance and effectiveness of products and services that are deployed in Innovex’s environment.
Innovex’s VP of IT reports to Innovex’s Chief Financial Officer and is the head of the Company’s cybersecurity team. The VP of IT is responsible
for assessing and managing Innovex’s cyber risk management program, informs senior management regarding the prevention, detection, mitigation, and
remediation of cybersecurity incidents and supervises such efforts. The cybersecurity team has decades of experience selecting, deploying, and operating
cybersecurity technologies, initiatives, and processes around the world, and relies on threat intelligence as well as other information obtained from
governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by Innovex. The Audit Committee of the board of directors oversees Innovex’s
cybersecurity risk exposures and the steps taken by management to monitor and mitigate cybersecurity risks. The IT department briefs the Audit Committee on
the effectiveness of Innovex’s cyber risk management program, typically on a semiannual basis. In addition, cybersecurity risks are reviewed by the Innovex
board of directors, at least annually, as part of the Company’s corporate risk mapping exercise. Innovex faces risks from cybersecurity threats that could have a
material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or reputation. Innovex has experienced, and will continue to
experience, cyber incidents in the normal course of its business. However, prior cybersecurity incidents have not had a material adverse effect on Innovex’s
business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Technology Advancement—We are subject to
cyber security risks. A cyber incident could occur and result in information theft, data corruption, operational disruption and/or financial loss” and “Item 1A.
Risk Factors—Risks Related to Technology Advancement—We have experienced IT system disruptions and cyber attacks in the past, and a failure of our IT
infrastructure and cyber attacks could adversely impact us in the future.”

Overview
Innovex designs, manufactures, sells and rents mission critical engineered products to the global oil and natural gas industry. Our vision has been to
create a global leader in well-centric products and technologies through organic, customer-linked innovations and disciplined acquisitions to drive leading
returns for our investors. Our products are used across the life cycle of the well (during the construction, completion, production and intervention phases) and
are typically utilized downhole and consumable in nature. Our products perform a critical well function, and we believe they are chosen due to their reliability
and capacity to save our customers time and lower costs during the well lifecycle. We believe that our products have a significant impact on a well’s
performance and economic profile relative to the price we charge, creating a “Big Impact, Small Ticket” value proposition. Many of our products can be used in
a significant portion of our customers’ wells globally, with our most advanced products providing mission critical solutions for some of the most challenging
and complex wells in the world. We have a track record of developing proprietary products to address our customers’ evolving needs, and we maintain an active
pipeline of potential new products across various stages of development.
We are a global company, and for the year ended December 31, 2024, the NAM market made up approximately 55% of our revenue while the
International and Offshore markets constituted 45%. Within the NAM market, we have a strong presence in both the United States and Canada. The NAM
market is core to us, and we maintain a robust sales and distribution infrastructure across the region. Our products have broad applicability in this market,
particularly for horizontal or unconventional wells that have become prevalent methods of oil and natural gas development across the region. We are focused on
significantly increasing our revenue from the International and Offshore markets, as these regions are typically subject to long-cycle investment horizons and
exhibit relatively less cyclicality than the NAM market. The Middle East, and in particular Saudi Arabia, has been a key source of growth for Innovex. We also
operate across Asia, Latin America, Europe and the Gulf of Mexico, among other regions. To enhance our global reach, we have complemented our locations
across these markets with a network of strategic distribution, sales and manufacturing partners.
We are an innovator and have a development process and culture focused on creating proprietary products for our customers. We seek to work with
our customers to solve their operational challenges. We believe that these collaborations have been a source of growth as they have allowed us to develop new
products with anchor customers that have served as an initial revenue base from which to scale. We have a unique culture that we view as having been critical to
our success in the commercialization of new products. We define our culture as “No Barriers.” Our goal is to remove internal barriers that slow the pace of
innovation and empower our employees to be responsive to our customers’ needs, while maintaining a focus on returns for the Company. As a result of our
culture and our commitment to customer responsiveness, we believe that we are more agile and able to innovate faster than our larger competitors.
Based on our TAM estimates, we believe that we are uniquely positioned to grow market share within larger addressable markets after the Merger
with Dril-Quip. On a pro forma basis, excluding the impact of revenue generated by Great North prior to their acquisition by Dril-Quip on July 31, 2023 but
including both the revenue and additional market share relating to the Merger and the DWS acquisition, we estimate that our NAM market share in 2024 was
13% and that our International and Offshore market share was 12%. We estimate Innovex has grown market share since inception and believe we are well
positioned to continue to capture market share across our geographic markets. In particular, we view the International and Offshore markets as a significant
growth opportunity.
Our organic growth has been complemented by a disciplined and contrarian acquisition strategy. We view acquisitions as a core competency and
have identified a rich opportunity set of acquisition targets that we believe are seeking to transact. We aim to execute a disciplined acquisition strategy for high-
quality opportunities that meet our stringent investment criteria.
We have a broad customer base, ranging from the largest IOCs, NOCs, and E&P companies as well as multinational and regional oilfield service
companies. Once a new product has been commercialized or acquired, our global sales and distribution infrastructure enables us to scale and drive customer
adoption quickly.
46
Our business has produced strong returns on invested capital. Please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” within this section for Return on Capital
Employed, which is how we assess the effectiveness of our capital allocation over time. For the year ended December 31, 2024, our net income, income from
operations and Adjusted EBITDA were equivalent to approximately 21%, 7% and 21% of revenue, respectively. Over the same period, capital expenditures
accounted for 2% of revenue, and we earned approximately $49.1 million in income from operations. For the year ended December 31, 2023, our net income,
income from operations, and Adjusted EBITDA were equivalent to approximately 13%, 18% and 24% of revenue, respectively. Over the same period, capital
expenditures accounted for only 3% of revenue, and we earned approximately $97.3 million in income from operations. We believe that our global sales and
distribution network, as well as our manufacturing capacity and vendor network, position us well to drive revenue growth and margin expansion. Please see
“How We Evaluate our Results of Operations” within this section for the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Return on Capital
Employed, and see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” within this section for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Return on
Capital Employed to our most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We believe that we can create value for our stockholders across the industry cycle and view our “through-cycle playbook” as providing a plan for us
to outperform in all market environments. We prioritize protecting the long-term health of the Company through investments in R&D and sustaining
engineering in our existing portfolio in all market environments. We seek to maintain a conservative balance sheet to preserve operational and financial
flexibility through the industry cycle.
Recent Developments
On March 18, 2024, the Company (formerly known as Dril-Quip, Inc.) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”)
with Legacy Innovex, Ironman Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Dril-Quip, and DQ Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Following the Merger, Legacy Innovex became a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, the name of the Company was changed to Innovex International, Inc., and its common stock remained listed on the NYSE. The Merger closed on
September 6, 2024 and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with Legacy Innovex being identified as the accounting acquirer. The
consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of only Legacy Innovex for all periods prior
to the Merger and of the combined company (including activities of Dril-Quip) for all periods subsequent to the Merger.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as of the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of
Legacy Innovex was converted into the right to receive 2.0125 shares of Company Common Stock. The number of shares of Company Common Stock received
by the Legacy Innovex stockholders was equal to 32,183,966. On September 9, 2024, the first trading day following the closing of the Merger, the Company
Common Stock began trading on NYSE under the new ticker symbol “INVX”.
On November 29, 2024, Innovex acquired 80% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of DWS. The acquisition was completed
simultaneously with the signing of the Equity Purchase Agreement on November 29, 2024. The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition consisted of $75.1
million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments, and 1,918,558 shares of Company Common Stock. The remaining 20% of the issued and outstanding
equity securities of DWS were previously owned by Legacy Innovex, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
For information with respect to the Merger and DWS acquisition, see Note 3. Mergers and Acquisitions to our Consolidated Financial Statements
included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
On February 27, 2025, we entered into the Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of February
27, 2025, among the Company, and each party joined thereto from time to time as a guarantor, as guarantors, the financial institutions from time to time party
thereto, as lenders, and PNC Bank, National Association, as the agent for lenders (the “New Credit Agreement”) to replace the Credit Agreement (as defined
herein). The New Credit Agreement provides for a $200 million senior secured revolving credit facility, subject to a borrowing base. The New Credit
Agreement matures on February 27, 2030. The New Credit Agreement, among other things, (i) extended the maturity of the agreement from June 2026 to
February 2030, (ii) increased the maximum revolving amount from $110 million to $200 million, which may, subject to certain conditions, be increased to $250
million, (iii) eliminated the term loan commitment and (iv) provided for an applicable margin for interest on the loans to be based on availability, effective as of
April 1, 2025. The applicable margin under the New Credit Agreement will range from 0.50% to 1.00% for swing loans and alternate base rate revolving loans
and 1.50% to 2.00% for term SOFR revolving loans.
Market Factors and Trends
Our business is driven by the number of oil and natural gas wells drilled worldwide, which, in turn, is tied to the level of global spending of the oil
and natural gas E&P industry. Rystad Energy expects the Brent oil price to gradually decrease to $69 per barrel by
47
2026, and break the downward trend in 2027 with an average level of $74 per barrel. Consequently, global E&P capital spending, excluding Iran, Venezuela,
Cuba, Russia and China, is expected to stay relatively flat through 2025. Rystad Energy also estimates that the annual number of global wells drilled, excluding
Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Russia and China, will decrease 4% from approximately 34,000 in 2023 to approximately 32,600 in 2027. The pace of development
activity is driven by expected well profitability and returns, which, in turn, are influenced by several factors, including current global oil and natural gas supply
and demand balances, current and expected future prices for oil and natural gas and the perceived stability and sustainability of these commodity prices over
time.
The oil and natural gas industry has historically been characterized by volatility in commodity prices and in the level of drilling and production
activity, which are driven by a variety of market forces, including geopolitical instability, climate related initiatives, OPEC+ actions, among others. The global
demand for oil and natural gas has consistently increased historically, and we believe that multiple years of under investment in oil and natural gas development
has left the industry with a limited amount of spare production capacity. Additionally, public E&P operators have adopted a more conservative approach to
capital spending in response to stockholders’ desire for increased return of capital. We believe that these factors have laid a foundation to support oil and natural
gas prices and will lead to a sustained spending cycle and stable activity levels by our customers in the near and medium-term.
Description of Certain Components of Financial Data
Revenues
We generate our revenue from three primary sources: sales of products and other associated revenues with product sales, such as freight; rentals of
tools that are used to deploy our products or to provide a critical well function; and services that are typically connected to the well-site deployment of our
engineered products. We have global operations, with sales generated within both our NAM market operations and our International and Offshore markets.
The Company accounts for more complex, customer specific projects that have relatively longer manufacturing time frames on an over-time basis.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, there were 6 projects representing approximately 0.2% of the Company’s total revenues and approximately 0.2% of its
product revenues that were accounted for using over-time accounting, compared to zero projects for the year ended December 31, 2023. Revenues accounted for
in this manner are generally recognized based upon a calculation of the percentage complete, which is used to determine the revenue earned and the appropriate
portion of total estimated cost of revenues to be recognized. Accordingly, price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as the work progresses, and
adjustments, proportionate to the percentage complete, are reflected in the period when such estimates are revised. Losses, if any, are recorded in full in the
period they become known. Amounts received from customers in excess of revenues recognized are classified as a current liability.
Cost of revenues
Our cost of revenues consists of expenses relating to the manufacture and procurement of our products in addition to the costs of our support
services. Cost of revenues related to manufacturing and procurement of our products includes the cost of components sourced from third-party suppliers and
direct and indirect costs to manufacture and supply products, including labor, materials, machine time, lease expense related to our manufacturing facilities,
freight and other variable manufacturing costs, such as shrinkage, obsolescence variances and revaluation or scrap related to our existing inventory. Our support
services costs include personnel expenses for our field service organization, lease expense related to our operations facilities, threading charges, vehicle
expenses and freight.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expense consists of costs such as sales and marketing, engineering and R&D expenses, general corporate
overhead, compensation expense, IT expenses, safety and environmental expenses, insurance costs, legal expenses and other related administrative functions.
Gain/loss on sale of assets
Gain/loss on sale of assets represents profit recognized on the sale of property and equipment, net.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation related to our tangible assets, including investments in property and equipment, and
amortization of intangible assets, including identified intangible assets related to acquisition purchase price accounting.
48
Impairment of long-lived assets
Impairment of long-lived assets consists of the write down of the carrying value of our long-lived assets to fair value when, as part of our periodic
impairment evaluation performed in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment, we determine that the carrying
value of the asset or asset group is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.
Acquisition costs
Acquisition costs consist of legal, accounting, advisory fees, and other integration costs incurred in connection with the acquisition and integration of
a business.
Interest expense
Interest expense, net primarily consists of interest expense associated with the Term Loan and the Credit Facility (each as defined herein).
Other expense/income, net
Other expense/income, net consists of foreign exchange transaction gains or losses resulting from a change in exchange rates between the functional
currency and the currency in which a foreign currency transaction is denominated and other non-operating items.
Equity method earnings
Equity method earnings consist of our proportional share of the earnings of our previous equity method investee, DWS, along with the associated
amortization of our proportional share of the step up in fair value of the intangible assets acquired. The minority interest requiring equity method accounting
treatment was acquired on May 1, 2023. On November 29, 2024, we purchased the remaining equity interest in DWS and therefore, the earnings of DWS after
November 29, 2024 are fully consolidated as part of the Company. See “Gain on consolidation of equity method investment” below.
Gain on consolidation of equity method investment
As noted in “Equity method earnings” above, on November 29, 2024, we purchased the remaining equity interest in DWS and therefore, the earnings
of DWS after November 29, 2024 are fully consolidated as part of the Company. The Company previously accounted for our ownership interest in DWS as an
equity method investment. Upon increasing our ownership to 100% on the acquisition date, the Company obtained a controlling financial interest and
consolidated the operations of DWS. The purchase of the remaining equity interest in DWS was considered to be an acquisition achieved in stages, whereby the
previously held equity interest was remeasured as of the acquisition date. Based on this analysis, the Company recognized a non-taxable gain on the
remeasurement of the previously held equity method investment within this financial statement line.
Gain on bargain purchase
The Merger resulted in a gain on bargain purchase recognized on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income
due to the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeding the purchase consideration transferred. Upon completion of its preliminary
assessment, the Company concluded that all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been identified and recognized, including any additional assets
and liabilities not previously identified or recognized in the acquisition accounting, and that recording a gain on bargain purchase was appropriate and required
under U.S. GAAP.
Income tax expense
We are subject to income taxes in both the United States and foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. Differences between our effective tax rate and
the U.S. federal income tax rate are primarily due to state taxes, foreign jurisdiction rate differences, permanent differences between book and tax income, and

We use a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze our performance. These metrics are significant factors in assessing our results of
operations and profitability and include:
49
•
Revenues. Our revenues are generated from product sales, renting tools and from providing services related to the utilization of our products.
One of our measures of financial performance is the amount of revenue generated quarterly and annually as revenue is an indicator of overall
business growth for the Company.
•
Operating Income. We track operating income on an absolute dollar basis and as a percentage of revenue. One of our measures of financial
performance is the amount of operating income generated quarterly and annually, as operating income is an indicator of profit derived from our
core business operations.
•
Net Income.
We track net income on an absolute dollar basis and as a percentage of revenue. One of our measures of financial performance is
the amount of net income generated quarterly and annually as net income is an indicator of overall profitability of the Company.
•
Adjusted EBITDA. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) to assess the profitability of our business operations and to
compare our operating performance to our competitors without regard to the impact of financing methods and capital structure and excluding
costs that management believes do not reflect our ongoing operating performance, and for this reason we believe this measure will provide
useful information to investors.
We track Adjusted EBITDA on an absolute dollar basis and as a percentage of revenue, which we refer to as Adjusted EBITDA Margin. We
define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and
amortization, (gain) loss on sale of
assets, impairment of long-lived assets, and other expense (income), net, further adjusted to exclude certain items which we believe are not
reflective of our ongoing performance or which are non-cash in nature. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most
directly comparable GAAP measure, see “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
•
Free Cash Flow. We utilize Free Cash Flow (a non-GAAP measure) to evaluate the cash generated by our operations and results of operations.
We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (or used by) operating activities less capital expenditures, as presented in our Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows. Management believes Free Cash Flow is useful because it demonstrates the cash that was available in the period that
was in excess of our needs to fund our capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow does not represent our residual cash flow available for discretionary
expenditures, as we have non-discretionary expenditures, including, but not limited to, principal payments required under the terms of our
Credit Facility, which are not deducted in calculating Free Cash Flow. For a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to net cash provided by operating
activities, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
•
Return on Capital Employed. We utilize Return on Capital Employed (“ROCE”) (a non-GAAP measure) to assess the effectiveness of our
capital allocation over time and to compare our capital efficiency to our competitors, and for this reason we believe this measure will provide
useful information to investors. We define ROCE as income from operations, before acquisition costs and after tax (resulting in adjusted income
from operations, after tax) divided by average capital employed. Capital employed is defined as the combined values of debt and stockholders’
equity. For a reconciliation of ROCE to income from operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, see “Non-GAAP Financial
Measures” below.
Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and ROCE do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income,
income from operations, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as
measures of our financial performance. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and ROCE may differ from computations of similarly titled
measures of other companies. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, see “Non-GAAP Financial
Measures” below.
Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results of Operations
Our historical financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented may not be comparable, either from period to period or going
forward, due to recent and future acquisitions. One way in which we have grown, and will continue to grow, our operations and financial results is through
strategic acquisitions. In August 2022, Legacy Innovex acquired Pride, a company that complemented our well production and intervention product group. In
May 2023, Legacy Innovex acquired 20% of DWS, a company that manufactures and rents engineered downhole tools designed to improve the performance of
directional and horizontal drilling operations. In March of 2024, Legacy Innovex entered into the Merger Agreement with Dril-Quip, and the Merger was
consummated on September 6, 2024. In November of 2024, we acquired the remaining 80% equity interest in DWS. As a general matter, following an
acquisition, our results of operations are affected by the results of the newly acquired business or operations, the purchase accounting
50
for the acquisition, any debt incurred in connection with the acquisition and expenditures made to integrate the newly acquired business or operations. As a
result of our acquisitions and the consolidation of our operating subsidiaries’ into the Company’s financial results, the periods presented in our historical
financial statements may not be comparable to one another and our future results of operations and financial results may differ. Additionally, as a result of the
Merger, we expect to incur recurring administrative expenses related to being a publicly traded corporation that are not reflected in the historical Legacy
Innovex’s financial statements.

Year Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2023
Revenues. The Company generates revenue from product sales, rental of tools and services. Product sales revenue for the year ended December 31,
2024 was $527.4 million, an increase of $66.6 million from $460.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Rental tools revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2024 was $50.3 million, an increase of $19.0 million from $31.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Service revenue for the year
ended December 31, 2024 was $83.1 million, an increase of $19.7 million from $63.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Our NAM market revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $361.1 million, a decrease of $5.0 million from $366.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 2023, primarily driven by an increase in market share and incremental business operations due to the Merger and DWS acquisition. This
was offset by a reduction in drilling activity in North America due to a decline in the North America land rig count during the comparative periods. Our
International and Offshore market revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $299.7 million, an increase of $110.3 million from $189.4 million for the
year ended December 31, 2023, primarily attributable to increased business operations as a result of the Merger and DWS acquisition.
Cost of revenues. Total cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $428.2 million, an increase of $68.1 million from $360.1
million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The change was primarily attributable to a $46.6 million increase in product cost of goods sold, and a $29.4
million increase in personnel expenses due to the Merger and DWS acquisition. This change was offset by a decrease of a net $11.2 million in variance, scrap
and absorption expense due to reduced costing in lower cost geographies along with increased inventory absorption costs due to the Merger. The remaining
difference is attributable to increases in facilities expense, general manufacturing expenses, and other miscellaneous costs.
51
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $116.2
million, an increase of $43.4 million from $72.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The change was primarily attributable to a $21.2 million
increase in salaries, wages and other payroll costs caused by increased headcounts due to the Merger, a $14.1 million increase in Employee Benefits costs
primarily due to the payout of vested shares due to the closing of the Merger, offset by a decrease in bad debt expenses of $8.5 million primarily due to the
recovery of previously reserved trade receivables, with the remaining change due to increases in professional services costs, business insurance, IT and other
changes in selling, general and administrative expenses.
(Gain) loss on sale of assets. (Gain) loss on sale of assets for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was ($0.7) million and
$0.1 million, respectively. The change during the two periods was due normal variations in property and equipment sales activity.
Depreciation and amortization. Total depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $31.2 million, an increase
of $8.5 million from $22.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The change in depreciation and amortization was primarily due to additional
depreciation for assets acquired related to the Merger, along with a $2.0 million increase in amortization for right of use finance leases due to an increase in our
leases that are classified as finance leases during the comparative periods.
Impairment of long-lived assets. Long-lived asset impairment expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $3.5 million, an increase of $3.2
million from $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The change in long-lived asset impairment expense was due to a significant decrease in the
market price of a right of use asset related to a building lease and a company owned building, which ultimately resulted in an impairment expense of $3.5
million for the combined assets in 2024.
Acquisition costs. Acquisition costs for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $33.3 million, an increase of $31.0 million from $2.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 2023. The change in acquisition costs was primarily due to the costs incurred in connection with the Merger and the acquisition of
DWS.
Interest expense. Total interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $2.4 million, a decrease of $3.1 million from $5.5 million for the
year ended December 31, 2023. The change was primarily due to higher average debt balances outstanding during 2023 as compared to 2024 due to a continual
paydown of our debt through the generation of operational cash flows throughout 2023 and 2024.
Other expense (income), net. Total other expense (income), net for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $0.3 million, a decrease of $0.1 million
from $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, with the change primarily being due to the net change in our foreign currency exchange gains (losses).
Equity method earnings. Equity method earnings consist of the net earnings in DWS, along with the amortization of our proportional ownership
interest in the step up of the fair value of the intangible assets acquired, during the period that DWS was accounted for as an equity method investee. Total
equity method earnings, excluding the amortization of the step up in fair value, for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $3.9 million and $3.9
million, respectively. The amortization of the step up in the fair value of the intangible assets acquired for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $1.3
million and $1.0 million, respectively.
Gain on consolidation of equity method investment. Gain on consolidation of equity method investment for the year ended December 31, 2024 and
2023 was $8.0 million and zero, respectively. The gain on consolidation of equity method investment for the year ended December 31, 2024 was related to the
step acquisition of DWS. See the description for the gain on consolidation of equity method investment within section titled "Description of Certain
Components of Financial Data" for further details.
Gain on bargain purchase. Gain on bargain purchase for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $85.8 million and zero, respectively. The
gain on bargain purchase for the year ended December 31, 2024 was related to the Merger. See the description for the gain on bargain purchase within section
titled "Description of Certain Components of Financial Data" for further details.
Income tax expense. Our operations are subject to U.S. federal income tax at an entity level, as well as various state and franchise taxes. In
addition, our operations located in international jurisdictions are subject to local country income taxes. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31,
2024 was $2.5 million, a decrease of $17.9 million from $20.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The change was primarily driven by changes in
mix of income before income taxes by geography and tax jurisdiction, discrete items recorded in the year, and other non-deductible expenses. For the year
ended December 31, 2024, income before taxes was $142.8 million, an increase of $48.4 million from $94.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023,
primarily due to the effect of the Gain on bargain purchase and the Gain on Consolidation of equity method investment discussed above, which are treated as
permanent discrete adjustments for purposes of calculating income tax expense.
52
Net income. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $140.3 million, an increase of $66.4 million, from net income of $73.9 million
for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily as a result of the factors discussed above.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, acquisition costs consisted of legal, accounting, advisory fees, and other integration costs associated
with the Merger and the acquisition of the remaining equity interest in DWS. For the year ended December 31, 2023, acquisition costs consisted
of legal, accounting, and advisory fees associated with the acquisition of our prior minority ownership interest in DWS along with other
integration related expenses. These acquisition costs are one-time in nature and represent expenses that we do not view as normal operating

ROCE for the year ended December 31, 2024 was 12%, a decrease from 22% for the year ended December 31, 2023. The primary reason for the
decrease was an increase in average capital employed of $326.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31,
2023, driven by an increase in average equity of $353.4 million primarily due to the effect of the Merger and the acquisition of DWS, and increased net income
of the Company into retained earnings.

Free Cash Flow for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $79.8 million, an increase of $19.5 million, from $60.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 2023. The change was driven by an $17.6 million increase in cash provided by operating activities as described under "Cash Flows" below, and a
$1.9 million decrease in capital expenditures necessary to support the growth of the business as described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are our existing cash, cash provided by operating activities, and borrowings under the Credit Facility. As of
December 31, 2024, we had cash and restricted cash of $73.3 million and availability under the Revolver (as defined herein) of $77.6 million. Our total
indebtedness was $35.4 million as of December 31, 2024.
Our principal liquidity needs have been, and are expected to continue to be, working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and potential mergers
and acquisitions. Historically, capital expenditures have been relatively modest, with working capital being the predominant use of cash for the Company during
periods of growth. We continuously evaluate our capital expenditures, and the amount we ultimately spend will depend on a number of factors, including,
among other things, prevailing economic conditions, market conditions in the oil and natural gas industry, customers’ forecasts, demand volatility and company
initiatives.
We have certain obligations related to debt maturities, finance leases and operating leases. As of December 31, 2024, we had $19.7 million of
minimum non-cancelable lease obligations during 2025, comprised of $6.0 million of finance lease maturities and $13.7 million of non-cancelable operating
lease obligations. For the periods after 2025, we have an additional $61.3 million of minimum
54
non-cancelable lease obligations comprised of $5.2 million of finance lease maturities and $56.1 million of non-cancelable operating lease obligations. As of
December 31, 2024, interest rates on our lease obligations ranged from 2.08% to 13.09%. See Note 11. Leases to our Consolidated Financial Statements
included elsewhere in this Annual Report for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 for additional information. In addition, as of December 31, 2024, we
had $5.0 million of debt maturities during 2025 comprised of $5.0 million of required amortization payments on our Term Loan (as defined herein). For the
periods after 2025, for our Term Loan, we have an additional $6.4 million of debt maturities representing the remaining balance. Any outstanding balances
under our Revolver (as defined herein) would become due and payable during 2026. Our effective interest rate on the Term Loan and Revolver for the year
ended December 31, 2024 were 8.77% and 9.34%, respectively. See Note 9. Debt to our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual
Report for additional information.
We believe that our existing cash on hand, cash generated from operations and available capacity under the Revolver will be sufficient to meet our
liquidity needs in the short and long-term. However, if work activity increases, we expect further working capital investment will be required. Our ability to
satisfy our liquidity requirements depends on our future operating performance, which is affected by prevailing economic conditions, market conditions in the
oil and natural gas industry, availability and cost of raw materials, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Year Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2023
Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $93.4 million, an increase of $17.6 million from $75.9 million
for the year ended December 31, 2023. The change in cash provided by operations was primarily driven by the following:
•
an increase in net income of $66.4 million;
•
changes in non-cash adjustments to net income from the comparative period as a result of a $11.3 million increase in stock compensation
expense primarily due to the accelerated vesting of equity based awards, offset by a $85.8 million gain on bargain purchase as a result of the
Merger, which was a non-cash equity based transaction, gain on consolidation on equity method investment, which was a non-cash fair value
adjustment, along with other non-cash adjustments; and
•
changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of assets acquired as part of the Merger and the acquisition of DWS, totaled $17.4 million, the
primary drivers for the change, net of assets acquired as part of the Merger and the acquisition of DWS were a decrease in inventories of $12.4
million, a decrease in accounts payable of $12.7 million, offset by other changes in operating assets and liabilities acquired.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $78.4 million, an increase of $110.9 million from
($32.4) million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The change in cash provided by (used in) investing activities was primarily due to $154.3 million of cash
acquired from the Merger, offset by a $65.5 million payment for the acquisition of DWS during the fourth quarter of 2024.
Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was ($103.1) million, an increase in cash used of $58.5 million from
($44.6) million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The change in cash used in financing activities is primarily related to the payment of $75.0 million in
dividends, offset by a decrease of $14.6 million in net repayments on the Revolver, despite its continued pay down, and the payment of $10.2 million of taxes
related to net share settlement of equity awards during the third quarter of 2024.

As of December 31, 2024, the Credit Facility had a maturity date of June 10, 2026. The Term Loan is amortized in an amount equal to $1.25 million
each quarter. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility are subject to an interest rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) an alternate base
rate determined as the highest of (i) the base commercial lending rate of PNC Bank, National Association, (ii) the overnight federal funds rate (subject to a 0%
floor) plus 0.5% and (iii) Daily Simple SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1% (such base rate to be subject to a 0% floor) or (b) the forward-
looking term rate based on the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) for the applicable interest period two business days before such interest period
divided by a number equal to 1.00 minus any SOFR reserve percentage (such term rate to be subject to a 0% floor), plus, in each case of clauses (a) and (b)
above, an applicable margin of 0.75% for swing loans and alternate base rate revolving loans, 1.75% for term SOFR revolving loans, 1.00% for alternate base
rate term loans and 2.00% for term SOFR term loans. Interest is payable monthly for alternate base rate loans and at the end of the applicable interest period for
term SOFR loans (or quarterly if the applicable interest period is longer than three months).
In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee to the
lenders under the Credit Agreement equal to 0.25% per annum on the amount by which $110.0 million exceeds the daily unpaid balance of the Revolver plus
any swing loans plus any undrawn amount of outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Agreement on any day.
The Credit Facility is secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers and certain future subsidiaries of Innovex and guarantees
from certain future subsidiaries of Innovex. The Credit Facility requires the Borrowers to make mandatory prepayments on the outstanding amount of (i) the
Term Loan in an amount equal to 25% of excess cash flow for each fiscal year, (ii) the Credit Facility if Borrowers issue debt other than certain permitted debt
or, subject to certain exceptions, sell assets and (iii) the Term Loan and/or the Revolver if the Borrowers issue equity interests the proceeds of which are not
used for certain purposes.
The Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants that may limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, guarantee
obligations, incur liens, make investments, loans or capital expenditures, sell or dispose of assets, enter into mergers or consolidations, enter into transactions
with affiliates, or make or declare dividends. The Credit Agreement also requires the Borrowers to maintain as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, a total
leverage ratio of not more than 2.50 to 1.00 for the four-quarter period then ending as long as the Term Loan is outstanding. In addition, the Credit Facility
contains a springing covenant that requires the Borrowers to maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.10
to 1.00 for the four quarter period then ending if (i) an event of default occurs and is continuing or (ii) the lesser of (x) the undrawn availability of the Revolver
and (y) a certain amount determined based, in part, on appraised values of certain assets of Innovex and certain of its subsidiaries, is less than 20% of $110.0
million plus any increases to the maximum principal amount of the Revolver in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2024,
we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility.
If an event of default exists under the Credit Agreement, the lenders will be able to accelerate the maturity of the Credit Facility and exercise other
rights and remedies. An event of default includes, among other things, the nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, the failure of any
representation or warranty to be correct when made or deemed made in all material respects, the failure to perform or observe covenants in the Credit
Agreement or other loan documents, subject, in limited circumstances, to certain grace periods, a cross-default to certain other indebtedness if the effect of such
default is to cause, or permit the holders of such indebtedness to cause, the acceleration of such indebtedness, the occurrence of bankruptcy or insolvency
events, the rendering of material monetary judgments, the invalidity of any guaranty, security agreement or pledge agreement and the occurrence of a Change of
Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $11.4 million and $17.7 million, respectively, of borrowings outstanding under the Term
Loan, and $14.0 million and $23.2 million, respectively, of borrowings under the Revolver.
56
The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement constituted a Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
In June 2024, Legacy Innovex, the other Original Borrowers, the Agent and the lenders party thereto entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Second A&R
Credit Agreement, which permitted the change in control event, the payment of the cash dividend contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and the acquisition
of 80% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of DWS not then owned by Legacy Innovex.
On February 27, 2025, we entered into the New Credit Agreement to replace the Credit Agreement. See Note 19. Subsequent Events to our
Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for more details.
Repurchase of Equity Securities
In conjunction with the Merger, effective as of the Closing Date, the Company maintained the share repurchase plans authorized by the Dril-Quip
board of directors. Under the share repurchase plans, we were authorized to repurchase up to an aggregate $200 million of our common stock. The repurchase
plans had no set expiration date and any repurchased shares were expected to be cancelled. Repurchases under the program were to be made through open
market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or plans, instructions or contracts established under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. The manner,
timing and amount of any purchase were to be determined by management based on an evaluation of market conditions, stock price, liquidity and other factors.
The program did not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be modified or superseded at any time at the Company’s
discretion.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not purchase any shares under the share repurchase plans. Refer to Item 5. Market for
Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities for further discussion.
On February 25, 2025, our board of directors approved a new share repurchase program that authorizes repurchases of up to an aggregate of $100
million of our outstanding common stock and terminated all share repurchase plans previously authorized by the Dril-Quip board of directors. See Note 19.
Subsequent Events to our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for more details.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Currently, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on the
company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, cash requirements or capital resources.
Business Segments
The Company operates in one reportable segment as our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") assesses performance and allocates resources
based on financial information presented at a consolidated level.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is derived from the review of our consolidated financial statements
prepared in accordance with GAAP, which includes our interpretation of accounting guidance and application through accounting policies. The preparation of
financial statements requires the use of judgments and estimates. Our critical accounting estimates are described below to provide a better understanding of how
we develop our assumptions and judgments about future events and related estimates and how they can impact our financial statements. A critical accounting
estimate is one that requires our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments and assessments and is fundamental to our results of operations.
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable according to the current facts and
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. We believe the following are the critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, as well as the
significant estimates and judgments affecting the application of these policies. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated
financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
57
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are recorded using the asset and liability method, whereby tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between
the carrying amount and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax laws and rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse. We regularly evaluate the valuation allowances established for deferred tax assets for which future realization is uncertain.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider both positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax assets and
liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and results of recent operations. If, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more
likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. As of December 31, 2024, the valuation allowance for deferred
tax assets was $53.3 million. The Company recognizes a tax benefit in our financial statements for an uncertain tax position only if management’s assessment is
that the position is “more likely than not” (i.e., a likelihood greater than 50 percent) to be allowed by the tax jurisdiction based solely on the technical merits of
the position.
The term “tax position” in the accounting standards for income taxes refers to a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be
taken in a future tax return that is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for interim or annual periods. Our financial
statements could be materially affected if: (i) our actual results differ significantly from our forecast estimates; (ii) there are future changes in enacted tax laws
with retroactive application; or (iii) tax authorities do not agree with our application of the tax law to our circumstances and the matter is not ultimately resolved
in our favor.
Business Combinations and Goodwill
We recognize and measure the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition
date. Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price paid by the Company over the fair market value of the net assets acquired. A bargain purchase occurs
when the fair market value of net assets acquired is higher than the purchase price paid. Certain assumptions and estimates are employed in evaluating the fair
value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These estimates may be affected by factors such as changing market conditions, technological advances in the
oil and natural gas industry or changes in regulations governing that industry. The most significant assumptions requiring judgment involve identifying and
estimating the fair value of inventory, fixed assets and intangible assets. To finalize purchase accounting for significant acquisitions, we utilize the services of
independent valuation specialists to assist in the determination of the fair value of acquired assets.
Impairments
We evaluate our property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable or if there are potential indicators of impairment. We also perform an annual impairment analysis of
goodwill as of December 31st, or whenever there is a triggering event that indicates an impairment loss may have been incurred. Estimating future net cash
flows requires us to make judgments regarding long-term forecasts of future revenues and costs related to the assets subject to review. These forecasts are
uncertain in that they require assumptions about our revenue growth, operating margins, capital expenditures, future market conditions and technological
developments. In addition, if we are required to determine the fair value of our reporting units to test goodwill for impairment, we must apply estimates,
assumptions, and judgment regarding revenue growth, operating margins, capital expenditures, future market conditions, weighted average costs of capital and
terminal growth rate, and we must evaluate the metrics of a deemed set of comparable companies and market earnings multiples. Actual results may not align
with these assumptions, and our expectations regarding future net cash flows may change such that a material impairment could result.
In the second quarter of 2024, Legacy Innovex identified a significant decrease in the fair values of a right of use asset related to a building lease and
a company owned building for which the carrying values are held in Right of use assets - operating and Property and equipment, net, respectively, in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. Legacy Innovex received third-party quoted market prices for both assets; based on this market information, Legacy Innovex
determined that the carrying value of both assets was not recoverable and exceeded their fair values. Legacy Innovex then measured the impairment losses by
comparing the carrying values with the current third-party quoted market prices resulting in a total impairment of $3.0 million and $0.5 million for the operating
lease right of use asset and the company owned building, respectively.
We believe that the estimates and assumptions used in our impairment assessments are reasonable. However, if market conditions change
dramatically, the impact on our forecasts and projections may be significant which could result in future impairments for our reportable units with long-term
assets including goodwill.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
59
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Our financial position is exposed to a variety of risks, including commodity price risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, and interest rate risk. The
Company does not engage in any material hedging transactions, forward contracts or currency trading which could mitigate the market risks inherent in such
transactions.
Commodity Price Risk
The market for our products and services is indirectly exposed to fluctuations in the prices of oil and natural gas to the extent such fluctuations
impact drilling and completion activity levels and thus impact the activity levels of our customers in the exploration and production industry. Additionally,
because we do not sell our products under long-term contracts, we believe that we are particularly exposed to short-term fluctuations in the prices of oil and
natural gas.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
A portion of our revenues are derived internationally and, accordingly, our competitiveness and financial results may be impacted by foreign
currency fluctuations where revenues and costs are denominated in local currencies rather than U.S. dollars. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to our
Business” in this Annual Report for further details on our foreign currency exchange risk.
Interest Rate Risk
We are primarily exposed to interest rate risk through the Revolver and Term Loan. As of December 31, 2024, we had variable rate debt outstanding
consisting of $11.4 million under the Term Loan and $14.0 million under the Revolver which bear interest at an adjusted SOFR rate plus an applicable margin
or at the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
The information required hereunder is included in this Annual Report beginning on page F-1.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as
of December 31, 2024. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports
filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and
that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As further discussed below in “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”, management excluded (1) Legacy Innovex and
(2) DWS from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. In light of the overlap
between a company's disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting, our evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
excludes an assessment of those disclosure controls and procedures of Legacy Innovex and DWS that are subsumed by internal control over financial reporting.
Dril-Quip's total assets and revenues included in management's assessment represent approximately 40% and 22%, respectively, of the related financial
statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. DWS’s total assets and revenues excluded from management's assessment represent 12%
and 1%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. See also “Material Weaknesses
Previously Identified Related to Legacy Innovex”.
Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2024.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by or under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
On September 6, 2024, Dril-Quip and Legacy Innovex completed the Merger. Dril-Quip was the legal acquirer in the Merger; Legacy Innovex was
the accounting acquirer in the Merger under U.S. GAAP. Prior to the Merger, Legacy Innovex was a privately-held company and was not subject to the rules
and regulations of the SEC regarding compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“Section 404 of SOX”), while Dril-Quip was a publicly traded
company subject to Section 404 of SOX. For all filings under the Exchange Act after the Merger, the historical financial statements of the Company for the
periods prior to the Merger are and will be those of Legacy Innovex. The activities of Dril-Quip are and will be included in the Company’s financial statements
for all periods subsequent to the Merger.
As the Merger occurred during the third quarter of 2024, and Legacy Innovex was not previously subject to Section 404 of SOX, management
concluded there was insufficient time for management to complete its assessment of the internal control over financial reporting related to Legacy Innovex, and,
therefore, the Legacy Innovex internal control over financial reporting was excluded from management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. Dril-Quip's total assets and revenues represent approximately 40% and 22%, respectively, of
the related financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Additionally, management has excluded DWS from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 as the
Company purchased the remaining 80% of the entity in a step acquisition in November 2024. DWS is a wholly-owned subsidiary whose total assets and
revenues represent 12% and 1%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth by the Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as
of December 31, 2024. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Material Weaknesses Previously Identified Related to Legacy Innovex
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As
described above, Legacy Innovex was excluded from management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2024. However, prior to the Merger, Legacy Innovex management identified the following material weaknesses in its internal control over financial
reporting, which management of the Company concluded continued to exist as of December 31, 2024: (1) Legacy Innovex did not design and maintain effective
controls related to the accounting for income taxes at a sufficient level of precision or rigor; and (2) Legacy Innovex failed to employ personnel with adequate
expertise to identify and evaluate complex income tax accounting matters. These material weaknesses resulted in audit adjustments to Legacy Innovex’s
consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 for deferred tax assets and liabilities, the income tax valuation allowance and
related disclosures. Additionally, these material weaknesses could result in misstatements of the aforementioned account balances or disclosures that would
result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Management’s Plan to Remediate the Legacy Innovex Material Weaknesses
Our management is implementing remediation steps to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we are implementing the
following steps to remediate the material weaknesses:
61
•
We have hired additional tax personnel with adequate expertise to identify and evaluate complex income tax accounting matters.
•
We have engaged an accounting advisory firm to assist with the documentation, evaluation, remediation, and testing of the relevant internal
controls related to the accounting for income taxes.
•
We are in the process of designing, implementing, and operating sufficiently precise controls to ensure timely and accurate preparation, review,
and reporting of the income tax provision and the income tax disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.
Remediation of Previously Identified Dril-Quip Material Weakness
In addition to Legacy Innovex's material weaknesses discussed above that continue to exist, Dril-Quip previously identified a material weakness
wherein we did not design and maintain effective controls over the financial statement classification of inventory write-downs related to restructurings. As of
December 31, 2024, management has concluded that this previously identified material weakness has been remediated through the operation of the necessary
previously designed and implemented Legacy Innovex controls to ensure appropriate financial statement classification in the event of a significant and unusual
transaction, such as a restructuring.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As described above, the Merger was completed on September 6, 2024, which represented a change in internal control over financial reporting.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, following becoming a public company as a result of the reverse merger, we began integrating our financial
reporting processes of the business with Dril-Quip’s processes and are implementing additional closing procedures to enable our financial reporting process.
The processes and controls for significant areas including business combinations, income taxes, treasury, consolidations and the preparation of financial
statements and related disclosures, and entity level controls have been substantially impacted by the ongoing integration activities. The primary changes in these
areas are related to the consolidation of process owner leadership and control owners, and where required, the modification of inputs, processes and associated
systems. For all areas of change noted, management believes the control design and implementation thereof are being appropriately modified to address
underlying risks. Other than such changes, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the
evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.
New Credit Agreement
Because we are filing this Annual Report within four business days after the triggering event, we are making the following disclosure under this
“Item 9B. Other Information” instead of filing a Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 1.01, Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, and Item 2.03,
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On February 27, 2025, we entered into the New Credit Agreement to replace the Credit Agreement. The New Credit Agreement matures on February
27, 2030. The New Credit Agreement, among other things, (i) extended the maturity of the agreement from June 2026 to February 2030, (ii) increased the
maximum revolving amount from $110 million to $200 million, which may, subject to certain conditions, be increased to $250 million, (iii) eliminated the term
loan commitment and (iv) provided for an applicable margin for interest on the loans to be based on availability, effective as of April 1, 2025. The applicable
margin under the New Credit Agreement will range from 0.50% to 1.00% for swing loans and alternate base rate revolving loans and 1.50% to 2.00% for term
SOFR revolving loans.
The foregoing description of the New Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete
text of the New Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.17 to this Annual Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
New Share Repurchase Program
Because we are filing this Annual Report within four business days after the triggering event, we are making the following disclosure under this
“Item 9B. Other Information” instead of filing a Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 8.01 Other Events.
62
On February 25, 2025, our board of directors approved a new share repurchase program (the “New Share Repurchase Program”) that authorizes
repurchases of up to an aggregate of $100 million of our outstanding common stock. In connection the New Share Repurchase Program, all share repurchase
plans previously authorized by the Dril-Quip board of directors have been terminated. The New Share Repurchase Program does not require us to repurchase a
specific number of shares or have an expiration date. The New Share Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued by our board of directors at any
time without prior notice. The authorized repurchases will be made from time to time in the open market, through block trades or in privately negotiated
transactions. The timing, volume and nature of share repurchases will be at the discretion of our management and dependent on market conditions, applicable
securities laws and other factors, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The cost of the shares that are repurchased will be funded from any funds
of the Company legally available therefore. Any shares repurchased under the program will be cancelled.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Innovex International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024,
and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, of changes in stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for the year then ended,
including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and
for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's
internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over
financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as
we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management has excluded (1) Innovex Downhole Solutions, Inc. (“Legacy
Innovex”) and (2) Downhole Well Solutions, LLC (“DWS”) from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, because
Legacy Innovex was acquired by Dril-Quip, Inc. in 2024 and DWS was acquired by the Company in a step acquisition in 2024. We have also excluded Legacy
Innovex and DWS from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Dril-Quip's total assets and revenues included in management’s assessment and
our audit of internal control over financial reporting represent 40% and 22%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for
the year ended December 31, 2024. DWS’s total assets and revenues excluded from management’s assessment and our audit of internal control over financial
reporting represent 12% and 1%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the
F-3
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were
communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial
statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way
our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate
opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Reverse Acquisition of Dril-Quip – Valuation of Property, Plant & Equipment
As described in Notes 1, 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on September 6, 2024, Legacy Innovex merged with and into Dril-Quip. The total
purchase consideration was $537 million. Of the acquired assets, $134 million of property, plant & equipment (“PP&E”) was recorded. The fair value of PP&E
is estimated using either the market approach (vehicle assets and land) or cost approach (buildings and personal property). Under the market approach, the value
reflects the price at which comparable assets are purchased under similar circumstances, and the significant judgment and assumption used was defining
comparable sales information based on the age and type of assets being valued. Under the cost approach, the value is based on the cost of a market participant to
reconstruct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for any obsolescence, and the key judgment and assumptions used include the replacement cost and
physical deterioration factors, including economic useful life and effective age.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of PP&E acquired in the reverse acquisition of Dril-Quip
is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the PP&E acquired; (ii) a high degree of
auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to (a) comparable sales for
vehicle assets and land used in the market approach and (b) replacement cost and physical deterioration of buildings and replacement cost of personal property
used in the cost approach; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated
financial statements. These procedures included, among others, (i) reading the merger agreement; (ii) testing management’s process for developing the fair
value estimate of the PP&E acquired; (iii) evaluating the appropriateness of the market and cost approaches used by management; (iv) testing the completeness
and accuracy of the underlying data used in the market and cost approaches; and (v) evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by
management related to (a) comparable sales for vehicle assets and land used in the market approach and (b) replacement cost and physical deterioration of
buildings and replacement cost of personal property used in the cost approach. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to comparable sales for vehicle
assets and land used in the market approach and replacement cost and physical deterioration of buildings and replacement cost of personal property used in the
cost approach involved considering (i) the consistency with external market and industry data and (ii) whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence
obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the market
and cost approaches and (ii) the reasonableness of the comparable sales, replacement cost and physical deterioration assumptions.
Acquisition of Downhole Well Solutions, LLC – Valuation of Customer Relationships
As described in Notes 1, 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on November 29, 2024, the Company acquired Downhole Well Solutions, LLC
(“DWS”). The total purchase consideration was $137.8 million. Of the acquired intangible assets, $67.8 million of customer relationships were recorded. The
fair value of customer relationships was estimated using a multi-period excess earnings method. Under this method, the value is derived from cash flow
projections, which includes significant judgments and assumptions relating to baseline revenue and revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, contributory asset
charges, customer attrition rate, and discount rate.
F-4
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of customer relationships acquired in the acquisition of
DWS is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the customer relationships acquired;
(ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to
revenue growth rates, customer attrition rate and discount rate; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated
financial statements. These procedures included, among others (i) reading the purchase agreement; (ii) testing management’s process for developing the fair
value estimate of the customer relationships acquired; (iii) evaluating the appropriateness of the multi-period excess earnings method used by management; (iv)
testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the multi-period excess earnings method; and (v) evaluating the reasonableness of the
significant assumptions used by management related to revenue growth rates, customer attrition rate and discount rate. Evaluating management’s assumptions
related to revenue growth rates involved considering (i) the current and past performance of the DWS business; (ii) the consistency with external market and
industry data; and (iii) whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and
knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the multi-period excess earnings method and (ii) the reasonableness of the discount rate
assumption

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Innovex International, Inc.
Opinion on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Innovex International, Inc. (formerly known as Innovex Downhole Solutions, Inc.) (a
Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively
referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December
31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor
were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing
procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF BUSINESS
Description of Business
Innovex International, Inc. (“Innovex”, the “Company”, the “Combined Company”, or “we”) designs, manufactures, sells and rents a broad suite of
well-centric, engineered products to the global oil and natural gas industry. Our products are sold and rented to international oil companies, national oil
companies, independent exploration and production companies and multinational service companies. The products we provide have applications across the well
lifecycle for both onshore and offshore oil and natural gas wells, including well construction, well completion, and well production and intervention
applications. The Company’s corporate office is located in Humble, Texas.
On March 18, 2024, Innovex Downhole Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Innovex”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the “Merger Agreement”) with Dril-Quip, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Dril-Quip”), Ironman Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of Dril-Quip, and DQ Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Dril-Quip. On September 6, 2024
(the “Closing Date”), the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”) were consummated. Following the Merger, Legacy Innovex
became a wholly owned subsidiary of Dril-Quip, and the name “Dril-Quip, Inc.” was changed to “Innovex International, Inc.”. The Company’s stock remained
listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and its symbol was changed to “INVX”. Except as otherwise indicated, references herein to “Dril-Quip” are to Dril-
Quip, Inc. prior to the completion of the Merger.
The Merger was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with Legacy Innovex being identified as the accounting acquirer. The
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of only Legacy Innovex for all periods
prior to the Merger and of the Combined Company for all periods subsequent to the Merger.
In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Legacy Innovex (the
“Legacy Innovex Common Stock”) were converted into the right to receive 32,183,966 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the
“Company Common Stock”). The number of shares of Company Common Stock received for each share of Legacy Innovex Common Stock by the Legacy
Innovex shareholders was equal to 2.0125 (the “Exchange Ratio”).
On November 29, 2024, the Company acquired the remaining 80% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Downhole Well Solutions, LLC
(“DWS”) for a mixture of cash and equity consideration, resulting in DWS becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Innovex. Refer to Note 3. Mergers and
Acquisitions for further details.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”). The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries where we have control over operating and
financial policies. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the amount we report in our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include but are not limited to estimated losses on
accounts receivables, estimated realizable value on excess and obsolete inventories, estimates of the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired through
business acquisitions, estimates related to the fair value of the reporting unit for purposes of assessing possible goodwill impairment, expected future cash flows
from long lived assets to support impairment tests, stock-based compensation, amounts of deferred taxes and income tax contingencies. Refer to individual
accounting policies of each related account below for further details. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates and variances could materially affect our financial
condition and results of operations in future periods.
F-11
Cash and Restricted Cash
Cash consists of cash on deposit and cash on hand. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of less than
three months to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Throughout the year ended December 31, 2024, we
maintained cash balances that were in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limits. The majority of our international cash balances
are deposited with large international, well capitalized and reputable banks. We closely monitor our international and domestic cash accounts for any default
risks, noting none as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and believe that we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on these amounts.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had a restricted cash balance of $3.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively. This balance at
December 31, 2024 primarily consists of a cash collateral account with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., to facilitate the Company’s existing letters of credit. The
Company is required to maintain a balance equal to the outstanding letters of credit plus 5% at all times which is considered restricted cash and is included in
Cash and restricted cash in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2024. Withdrawals from this cash collateral account are only allowed when a
given letter of credit has expired or has been cancelled.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk are cash, restricted cash and trade receivables. Substantially all our sales are to
customers whose activities are directly or indirectly related to the oil and natural gas industry. This concentration of customers may impact our overall exposure
to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that our customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. We generally extend
credit to these customers and, therefore, collectability of receivables is affected by market conditions in the oil and natural gas industry. We perform ongoing
credit evaluations as to the financial condition of our customers with respect to trade receivables. Generally, no collateral is required as a condition of sale. No
single customer individually accounted for 10% or more of our consolidated revenue or trade receivables, net as of December 31, 2024 or 2023.
Trade Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses
Trade receivables are stated at the historical carrying amount, net of allowances for credit losses. These receivables are generally uncollateralized,
and accounts outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due.
We evaluate our global trade receivables through a continuous process of assessing our portfolio on an individual customer and overall basis. This
process consists of a thorough review of historical collection experience, current aging status of the customer accounts and financial condition of our customers.
Based on our review of these factors, we establish or adjust allowances for specific customers. Past due balances are written-off against allowance for credit
losses when the accounts are deemed no longer to be collectible. This process involves judgment and estimation; therefore, our results of operations could be
affected by adjustments to the allowance due to actual write-offs that differ from estimated amounts.
Trade receivables as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company determines the costs of all raw materials, work-in-process and finished
goods inventories by the average cost method. Cost components of inventories include direct labor, applicable production overhead, and amounts paid to
suppliers for materials and products as well as freight costs and, when applicable, duty costs to import the materials and products.
The Company evaluates the realizability of inventory on a product-by-product basis in consideration of historical and anticipated sales demand,
technological changes, product life cycle and component cost trends. As a result of the realizability analysis, inventories have been reduced to the lower of cost
or net realizable value. If actual circumstances are less favorable than those projected by management in its evaluation of the net realizable value of inventories,
additional write-downs may be required.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at acquired cost and depreciated over their estimated useful life utilizing the straight-line method. Expenditures for
property and equipment and for items which substantially increase the useful lives of existing assets are capitalized, while routine expenditures for repairs and
maintenance are expensed as incurred. The assets and liabilities under finance leases are recorded at the lower of present value of the minimum lease payments
or the fair value of the assets. Leasehold improvements and property under finance leases are amortized over the shorter of the remaining lease term or useful
life of the related asset. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or otherwise disposed of are eliminated from the accounts, and any
resulting gains or losses are recognized in the year of disposal in (Gain)/loss on sale of assets in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive
Income.
The table below summarizes the estimated useful lives of assets by category:

Lease term
Leases
At inception of a contract, we determine if the contract contains a lease. When a lease is identified, we recognize a right of use (“ROU”) lease asset
and a corresponding lease liability based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate. The
incremental borrowing rate is calculated using an industry-specific yield curve adjusted for the Company’s credit rating. The Company elected a short-term
lease accounting policy that allows it to forgo applying the balance sheet recognition requirements to short-term leases. Accordingly, no ROU asset or lease
liability is recognized for leases with an initial term of twelve months or less, unless a renewal option is reasonably certain to be exercised, extending the lease
beyond a twelve month term. Lease payments include fixed and variable lease components derived from usage or market-based indices. Variable lease
payments may fluctuate for a variety of reasons including usage, output, insurance or taxes. These variable amounts are expensed as incurred and not included
in the lease assets or lease liabilities. Options to extend or terminate a lease are reflected in the lease payments and lease term when it is reasonably certain that
we will exercise those options. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Finance lease assets are included in Property and equipment, net, and finance lease
liabilities are included in Current portion of long-term debt and finance lease obligations and Long-term debt and finance lease obligations on the Consolidated
Balance Sheets. Operating leases are presented as Right of use assets - operating and Operating lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to
Note 11. Leases for further details.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company performs reviews for impairment of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, intangible assets with definite lives and
operating lease right of use assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived
assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The
carrying value of an asset group is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of
F-13
the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. When an impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the
asset is reduced to its estimated fair value.
In 2022, Legacy Innovex abandoned a building and determined the carrying value of the building was not recoverable and exceeded its fair value.
Legacy Innovex measured the impairment loss by comparing the book value with the then current third-party quoted market price, resulting in a $1.0 million
impairment loss for the year ended December 31, 2022. In 2023, Legacy Innovex received an updated third-party quoted market price for the abandoned
building, resulting in an additional $0.3 million impairment loss for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the second quarter of 2024, Legacy Innovex obtained
an updated third-party quoted market price for the abandoned building for less than the carrying value, resulting in an additional $0.5 million impairment loss
recorded for the year ended December 31, 2024. The building was subsequently sold in the third quarter of 2024.
In the second quarter of 2024, Legacy Innovex identified a significant decrease in the market price of a right of use asset related to a building lease.
Legacy Innovex determined the carrying value was not recoverable and exceeded the fair value. Legacy Innovex then measured the impairment loss by
comparing the book value with a current third-party quoted market price, resulting in an impairment of $3.0 million.
Impairment losses recorded are presented as Impairment of long-lived assets in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive
Income.
Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of the year-end balance sheet date, or whenever events or circumstances change indicating that the fair
value of a reporting unit with goodwill could be below its carrying amount. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not
that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the
carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a quantitative test is required. If the carrying value of the reporting unit including goodwill
exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge equal to the excess would be recognized up to a maximum amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. For
the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized no goodwill impairments.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets, comprised of trade names, customer relationships, non-compete agreements and patents, are amortized using the straight-line
method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of intangible assets are based on an evaluation of the circumstances surrounding each
asset. The table below summarizes the estimated useful lives of intangible assets by category:
Years

3 - 12
Non-compete agreements

Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The
carrying values are compared to the undiscounted anticipated future cash flows related to those assets. If the carrying value of an intangible asset exceeds the
future undiscounted cash flow, an impairment charge is recorded in the period in which such review is performed, to the extent that the carrying value exceeds
fair value. The Company determined that no impairment indicators existed at December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
Business Combinations
We recognize and measure the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition
date. Goodwill is recorded when there is excess of purchase price paid by the Company over the fair market value of the net assets acquired. A gain on bargain
purchase is recorded when the fair market value of the net assets acquired exceeds the purchase price paid by the Company. Certain assumptions and estimates
are employed in evaluating the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These estimates may be affected by factors such as changing market
conditions, technological advances in the oil and natural gas industry or changes in regulations governing that industry.
The fair value of inventory is estimated using the comparative sales approach. The fair value of property and equipment is estimated using either the
market approach (vehicle assets and land) or cost approach (buildings and personal property). Under the
F-14
market approach, the value reflects the price at which comparable assets are purchased under similar circumstances and the significant judgment and
assumption used was defining our comparable sales information based on the age and type of assets being valued. Under the cost approach, the value is based
on the cost of a market participant to reconstruct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for any obsolescence, and the key judgment and assumptions
used include the replacement cost new and physical deterioration factors including economic useful life and effective age. The fair value of customer
relationships and backlog are estimated using a multi-period excess earnings method. Under this method, used to estimate the fair value of customer
relationships, the value is derived from cash flow projections for the customer relationships acquired, which includes significant judgments and assumptions
relating to baseline revenue and revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, contributory asset charges, customer attrition rate, and discount rate. To estimate the
fair value of backlog, under the multi-period excess earnings method, the value is derived from cash flow projections for the previously sold contracts acquired,
which includes significant judgments and assumptions relating to EBITDA margins, contributory asset charges, and discount rate.
The valuation of an acquired business is based on available information at the acquisition date and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable.
However, a change in facts and circumstances as of the acquisition date can result in subsequent adjustments during the measurement period, but no later than
one year from the acquisition date. To finalize purchase accounting for significant acquisitions, we utilize the services of independent valuation specialists to
assist in the determination of fair value. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. Refer to Note 3. Mergers and Acquisitions for further details.
Equity Method Investment
We utilize the equity method to account for investments when we possess the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the
operating and financial policies of the investee. In applying the equity method, we record the investment at cost and subsequently increase or decrease the
carrying amount of the investment by our proportionate share of the net earnings or losses of the investee. We record dividends or other equity distributions as
reductions in the carrying value of the investment. We classify distributions received from equity method investees using the cumulative earnings approach in
our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Under the cumulative earnings approach, distributions received from the unconsolidated entity are presumed to be
a return on the investment unless the distributions received exceed cumulative equity in earnings recognized. In 2024, all distributions received before the
acquisition of the remaining equity interest in DWS were deemed returns on investment and were therefore classified as Cash flows from operating activities.
Subsequent to our acquisition of the remaining equity interest in DWS on November 29, 2024, we no longer hold ownership in a business accounted for using
the equity method. Refer to Note 3. Mergers and Acquisitions for additional information about our previously held equity method investment.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. An established hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of
unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used, when available. Observable inputs are developed based on market data obtained from
sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing
the asset or liability. The valuation hierarchy contains three levels:
Level 1:
Inputs are unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2:
Inputs are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for similar or identical instruments in
inactive markets and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be
corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets and liabilities.
Level 3:
One or more significant inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that
include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar valuation techniques.
The carrying amounts we have reported for financial instruments, including cash and restricted cash, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued
expenses, approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of those instruments, and are considered Level 1. Short-term and long-term debts are recorded
at carrying value, which approximates the fair value due to a variable interest rate and the Company’s ability to repay at any time, and are considered Level 2.
The Company accounts for all stock-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and restricted stock units, based upon
their fair values at grant date or the date of later modification over the requisite service period, and these fair
F-15
value determinations are considered Level 3 for Legacy Innovex stock-based payment awards granted before the Merger and Level 1 for stock-based payment
awards after the Merger. Refer to Note 14. Stock-Based Compensation for further details.
Revenue Recognition
Product and Service Revenue. The Company recognizes revenue under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with
Customers (“ASC 606”) using two methods: over time method and point in time method. Revenues from the sale of standard inventory products, not accounted
for under the over time method, are recorded at the point in time when customers obtain control of promised goods or services. The revenue recognized is the
amount of consideration which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Our contracts with customers generally contain only one
performance obligation for the related product or service ordered. The transaction price is determined using a fixed unit price as specified in the sales contract
times the quantity of products or services sold. The transaction price for service arrangements is determined based on hours incurred multiplied by contractually
agreed upon rates. In addition, to determine the transaction price at the time when revenue is recognized, we evaluate whether the price is subject to
adjustments, such as for discounts or volume rebates, which are stated in the customer contract, to determine the net consideration to which we expect to be
entitled. Taxes collected on sales to customers are excluded from the transaction price.
Revenue from product sales is recognized at the point in time when control transfers to the customer, which is dependent on the associated terms and
conditions within our contractual arrangements. Typically, the performance obligations are satisfied upon shipment, and this is when control transfers to the
customer. The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling costs as fulfillment costs (i.e., not a promised good or service). As such, shipping and
handling costs are expensed in the period incurred and included in Cost of revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Revenue from services is recognized as hours are incurred. The Company recognizes revenue as the services are performed over time. The
Company’s payment terms generally range from 30 to 60 days; as such, there is no significant financing component associated with the contract.
The Company uses the over time method on long-term project contracts that have the following characteristics:
•
the contracts call for products which are designed to customer specifications;
•
the structural designs are unique and require significant engineering and manufacturing efforts;
•
product requirements cannot be filled directly from the Company’s standard inventory; and
•
the Company has an enforceable right to payment for any work completed to date and the enforceable payment includes a reasonable profit
margin.
For each project in which revenue is recognized under the over time method, which is typically consistent of product sales of our subsea trees, the
Company prepares a detailed analysis of estimated costs, profit margin, completion date and risk factors, which include availability of material, production
efficiencies and other factors that may impact the project. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the progress of each project, which may result in revisions
of previous estimates, including revenue recognition. The Company calculates the percentage complete and applies the percentage to determine the revenues
earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated costs to be recognized. Losses, if any, are recorded in full in the period they become known.
Under the over time method, billings may not correlate directly to the revenue recognized. Based upon the terms of the specific contract, billings may
be in excess of the revenue recognized, in which case the amounts are included in Contract liabilities as a liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Likewise, revenue recognized may exceed customer billings, in which case the amounts are reported in Contract assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. At
December 31, 2024, contract assets totaled $5.1 million related to products accounted for using the over time method of accounting. For the year ended
December 31, 2024, there were 6 projects representing approximately 0.2% of the Company’s total revenues and approximately 0.2% of its product revenues,
which were accounted for using the over time method of accounting.
Rental Revenue. The Company supplies rental equipment to customers through operating leases on a short-term basis, with most equipment on a
customer site for three months or less with no variable payment terms. Customers are required to return assets in the same condition as received, less any
reasonable wear and tear; otherwise, additional charges will be applied. The Company’s contracts convey the right to control the use of the identified equipment
for a period of time in exchange for consideration; as such, these contracts are considered leases according to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842
Leases (“ASC 842”). Rental revenue is
F-16
accounted for under the lease guidance according to ASC 842 and recognized ratably over the term of the lease. Customers have the option to extend rental
equipment leases for short-term periods, but the options to exercise renewals are not reasonably certain. As such, no assumed lease renewals are included in
lease term assessments. Lease contracts do not contain purchase options. No other significant judgments or assumptions were made to determine whether a
contract contains a lease.
Refer to Note 4. Revenue for information regarding the Company’s revenue.
Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to various claims, lawsuits and complaints. We vigorously defend ourselves and prosecute these
matters as appropriate. We, in consultation with external legal advisors, will provide for a contingent loss in the Consolidated Financial Statements if, at the date
of the Consolidated Financial Statements, it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Based on a consideration
of all relevant facts and circumstances, we do not believe that the ultimate outcome of any currently pending lawsuit against us will have a material adverse
effect upon our operations, financial condition or Consolidated Financial Statements. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
Innovex is a corporation and is subject to U.S. federal as well as state income tax. Additionally, our operations in foreign jurisdictions are subject to
local country income taxes. Deferred taxes are recorded using the asset and liability method, whereby tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
differences between the carrying amount and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax laws and rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year
in which the differences are expected to reverse. We regularly evaluate the valuation allowances established for deferred tax assets for which future realization
is uncertain. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider both positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax
assets and liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and results of recent operations. If, based on the weight of available evidence, it is
more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and
penalties on uncertain tax positions within the provision for income taxes in income tax expense. Refer to Note 12. Income Taxes for additional information.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 Compensation—
Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Equity instruments are measured at fair value on the grant date consistent with the terms of the award. We use an option
pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options on the grant date. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. Compensation
expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations and Comprehensive Income. Refer to Note 14. Stock-Based Compensation for additional discussion.
Foreign Currency Transactions
Transactions included in the financial information of each of the Company’s subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”) and then translated to the U.S. dollar (“the reporting currency”) as follows:
•
assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;
•
income and expenses for each income statement are translated at the average exchange rates occurring during the year-to-date period;
•
the effect of exchange rate changes on cash are reported in each cash flow statement presented; and
•
all resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component within Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs, including the development costs of new products to be marketed by the Company, are expensed as incurred and
included in Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and
F-17
Comprehensive Income. Research and development costs were approximately $3.7 million, $3.0 million and $2.5 million for the years ended December 31,
2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Segment Information
The Company operates in one reportable segment. Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is our Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM
assesses performance and allocates resources based on financial information presented at a consolidated level. The types of products and services from which
we derive our revenues is disclosed under “Revenue Recognition” in this footnote. The Company derives revenue globally, and our manufacturing and
engineering capabilities exist in multiple locations, but these costs are managed centrally as manufactured parts and engineering capabilities are used to support
the global company. The CODM assesses performance for the single reportable segment, which represents the consolidated global entity, based on net income
which is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated
Balance Sheets as total consolidated assets.
The CODM uses net income to evaluate the profitability of our business operations, evaluate our return on capital, and to compare our operating
performance to our competitors. Net income is also used in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the existing business or to use in other ways, such as for
acquisitions.
The Company has adopted ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280)”, effective retrospectively for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
See "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" in this footnote for further discussion around the requirements of this ASU.
Reclassifications
In conjunction with the Merger, the Company made the following reclassification in the prior year presentation to conform to the current year
presentation:
•
The Company reclassified $2.3 million and $2.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, to Acquisition costs,
which were previously presented within Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and
Comprehensive Income.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Segment Reporting (Topic 280). In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting
—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). The amendments in this update require a public entity to report, for each reportable segment,
a measure of the segment’s profit or loss that its CODM uses to assess segment performance and make decisions about resource allocation. The ASU requires
public entities to provide investors with additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses and is intended to improve the disclosures
about a public entity’s reportable segments. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments are required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements.
Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories
identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 for the year ended December 31, 2024, as disclosed under “Segment
Information” within this footnote.
Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 which updated accounting guidance related to income tax
disclosures. The updated accounting guidance, among other things, requires additional disclosures primarily related to the tax rate reconciliation and income
taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2023-09 on
its disclosures.
Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 which requires additional disclosures
of specific income statement expense line items in the notes to the financial statements on both an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual
periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2024-03 on its disclosures.

NOTE 3. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS
The Company’s acquisition of business and equity method investments consisted of the following transactions during the years ended December 31,
2024, 2023 and 2022. Acquisition costs within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income consist of legal, accounting,
advisory fees, and other integration costs related to the Merger, the acquisition of Pride Energy Services, LLC, the acquisition of Rubicon Oilfield International,
LLC in March of 2021, and the step acquisitions of DWS.
Legacy Innovex and Dril-Quip Merger
As discussed in Note 1. Summary of Business, on the Closing Date, the Merger was consummated. Following the Merger, Legacy Innovex became a
wholly owned subsidiary of Dril-Quip, and the name “Dril-Quip, Inc.” was changed to “Innovex International, Inc.” As provided for in the Merger Agreement,
Legacy Innovex paid a cash dividend of $75.0 million, or $2.39 per share, to the holders of Legacy Innovex Common Stock on September 6, 2024. The Merger
was pursued given the enhanced global scale, footprint, and financial flexibility of combining the two companies. The Merger is accounted for as a reverse
acquisition under ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), where Legacy Innovex, the legal acquiree, is determined to be the accounting acquirer of
Dril-Quip based upon an evaluation of the following primary factors:
•
Although the pre-combination stockholders of Legacy Innovex held approximately 48% of the Combined Company, the largest pre-
combination stockholder of Legacy Innovex, Amberjack Capital Partners, L.P. (“Amberjack”), held the largest minority voting interest of
approximately 44% in the Company after the Merger closed, whereas Dril-Quip’s pre-combination ownership was widely dispersed among
stockholders.
•
Legacy Innovex surpassed Dril-Quip in size as measured in key performance metrics including Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation,
and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2023.
•
The Company’s board consists of nine directors, including:
•
four continuing directors of the pre-combination Dril-Quip board of directors;
•
four directors, each a member of the pre-combination Legacy Innovex board of directors; and
•
the Chief Executive Officer of Legacy Innovex as of immediately prior to the Closing Date.
•
Legacy Innovex’s pre-combination senior management team constitutes the majority of the senior management of the Company, including the
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and the President of North America.
•
Upon consummation of the Merger, the Company’s headquarters are located at Legacy Innovex’s headquarters, the Company’s name has been
changed to Innovex International, Inc., and the ticker symbol of the Company has been changed to “INVX.”
Purchase Price Consideration
The accounting acquiree Dril-Quip’s stock price was used to measure the consideration transferred in the reverse acquisition, as Dril-Quip’s stock
price was more reliably measurable than the value of the equity interest of the accounting acquirer Legacy Innovex, which was a privately held entity. The
following table summarizes the consideration for the Merger (in thousands, except stock price and shares):
Fair value of shares transferred to Dril-Quip shareholders

530,909
Fair value of replacement Dril-Quip stock-based payment awards attributable to the purchase price

Total purchase price consideration
$
537,273
(1) The fair value of shares transferred to Dril-Quip stockholders is based on 34,452,230 shares of Dril-Quip common stock outstanding and the closing stock price of Dril-Quip common stock of $15.41
on the Closing Date.

F-19
Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
In accordance with ASC 805, identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Dril-Quip were recorded at their estimated fair values on the
Closing Date. The allocation of the purchase price included in the current period balance sheet is based on the best estimate of management and is preliminary
and subject to change. We will continue to obtain information to assist in determining the fair value of net assets acquired during the measurement period. The
Company expects to finalize these amounts as soon as possible but no later than one year from the Closing Date.
The Merger resulted in a gain on bargain purchase recognized on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income
due to the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeding the purchase consideration transferred. Upon completion of its preliminary
assessment, the Company concluded that all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been identified and recognized, including any additional assets
and liabilities not previously identified or recognized in the acquisition accounting, and that recording a gain on bargain purchase was appropriate and required
under U.S. GAAP. The bargain purchase gain was due to the decrease in the share price of legacy Dril-Quip stock from the date the Merger Agreement was
signed to the Closing Date, while the agreed upon ratio of the Legacy Innovex stockholders’ ownership of the Combined Company, as stipulated in the Merger
Agreement, remained the same.
The table below presents the preliminary allocation to the estimated fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the resulting
gain on bargain purchase as of the Closing Date. Measurement period adjustments were based upon information obtained about facts and circumstances that
existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized at that date. We have adjusted our deferred tax
asset as a result of measurement period adjustments due to a refinement of our estimated deferred tax positions by jurisdictions.

The Company incurred transaction costs in connection with the Merger in the amount of $32.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The
costs have been expensed as incurred and recognized in Acquisition costs in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Revenue and Earnings
For the period from September 7, 2024 to December 31, 2024, we have included $148.4 million of revenues contributed by the business acquired in
the Merger. Due to the integration of operations since the Closing Date, it was impracticable to present stand-alone earnings since the date of the Merger.
Downhole Well Solutions, LLC (“DWS”) Acquisition
On May 1, 2023, Legacy Innovex acquired a 20% equity interest in DWS, via purchasing stock units of DWS, for the purchase price of $17.6 million
in cash consideration. On November 29, 2024, the Company acquired the remaining 80% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of DWS, resulting in
DWS becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Innovex. DWS rents drilling equipment and related technology which is complimentary to the Company’s
existing product lines.
Prior to the acquisition of the remaining 80% ownership interest in 2024, Legacy Innovex obtained significant influence over DWS through a 20%
ownership and one board seat out of three total board seats of representation on the board of directors of DWS. The acquisition was accounted for as an equity
method investment under Accounting Standards Codification 323, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (“ASC 323”). The cost of the investment
was $15.0 million more than the acquired underlying equity in DWS net assets. The difference was attributable to intangible assets of $13.0 million and equity
method goodwill of $2.0 million. The difference pertaining to intangible assets was being amortized to equity method earnings over the remaining useful life of
the related asset. Transaction costs recognized in connection with the acquisition were $0.7 million and were capitalized as part of the equity investment. For the
period from January 1, 2024 to November 29, 2024, the Company recorded its proportionate share of DWS’s net income of $3.9 million, adjusted for $1.3
million amortization attributed to intangible assets, and DWS distributed $3.1 million of dividends to the Company, which was recorded as a reduction of the
carrying value of the equity investment. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded its proportionate share of DWS’s net income of $3.9
million, adjusted for $1.0 million amortization attributed to intangible assets, and DWS distributed $1.3 million of dividends to the Company, which was
recorded as a reduction of the carrying value of the equity investment.
As noted above, on November 29, 2024, the Company acquired the remaining 80% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of DWS. The
purchase price for the acquisition consisted of $75.1 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments, and 1,918,558 shares of Company Common Stock. An
additional $4.0 million of the purchase price (the “Impulse Litigation Holdback Amount”) was retained by the Company for purposes of funding any post-
closing expenses and liabilities related to a patent infringement-related litigation matter to which DWS is a party. Refer to Note 16. Commitments and
Contingencies for further details.
Because Innovex acquired control of DWS in the 2024 purchase, the acquisition was accounted for as a step acquisition in accordance with ASC 805.
The Company remeasured its previously held 20% equity interest at its acquisition-date fair value of $27.6 million, which was determined using the implied
enterprise value based on the purchase price. The resulting gain of $8.0 million was reflected within Gain on consolidation of equity method investment on the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

In accordance with ASC 805, identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values on the date of
acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price included in the current period balance sheet is based on the best estimate of management and is preliminary and
subject to change. We will continue to obtain information to assist in determining the fair value of net assets acquired during the measurement period. The
Company expects to finalize these amounts as soon as possible but no later than one year from the Closing Date.

The table below presents the preliminary allocation to the estimated fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the resulting
goodwill as of November 29, 2024. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the anticipated synergies expected from the integration of DWS. Based on the current
tax treatment, $26.1 million of goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes over a 15-year period, while the remaining portion is not expected
to be deductible for income tax purposes.

For the period from November 30, 2024 to December 31, 2024, we have included $5.6 million of revenues and $2.0 million of earnings contributed
by DWS.
Refer to Note 7. Intangible Assets and Goodwill for further discussion of accounting treatment for goodwill and other intangible assets recognized
from these acquisitions.
Pride Energy Services, LLC (“Pride”) Acquisition
On August 23, 2022, Legacy Innovex acquired Pride by purchasing all of Pride’s outstanding voting stock. Pride is a leading provider of spooling
services and artificial lift logistics in the Permian and Delaware Basins of Texas and New Mexico, the Bakken in North Dakota, and the North Slope of Alaska,
expanding the Company’s offerings with complimentary services. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, with
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Legacy Innovex issued 320,820 shares of
Legacy Innovex Common Stock and paid $30.0 million in cash as consideration for the acquisition of Pride stock, with an acquisition date fair value of $40.0
million. The total purchase price was allocated to the Company’s acquired net tangible and intangible assets based on their fair values established as of August
23, 2022. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill of $7.3 million. Transaction costs
recognized in connection with the acquisition were immaterial. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the anticipated synergies expected from the integration of
Pride. All Pride goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information uses estimates and assumptions based on information available at the time. The
Company believes the estimates and assumptions to be reasonable; however, the unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the
Combined Company’s results would have been had the Merger and acquisition of DWS been completed as of the beginning of the periods as indicated, nor does
it purport to project the Company’s future results. The unaudited pro forma information does not reflect any synergy savings that might have been achieved
from combining the operations.
Pro forma information includes, among others, (i) incremental depreciation and amortization resulting from the property and equipment, lease right-
of-use assets and intangible assets acquired, (ii) accounting policy alignment, (iii) adjustments to reflect non-recurring acquisition related costs incurred directly
in connection with the transactions as if it had occurred January 1, 2023, (iv) adjustments to reflect the bargain purchase gain as if the Merger occurred on
January 1, 2023, (v) elimination of the previous equity method investment in DWS, and (vi) the tax-related effects as though the transactions had occurred on
January 1, 2023.
NOTE 4. REVENUE
Revenue is recognized as, or when, the performance obligations are satisfied. The Company generates revenue primarily from three revenue streams:
(i) product revenues, (ii) service revenues; and (iii) rental revenues. We sell or rent our products and provide services primarily in onshore U.S. and Canadian
(“NAM”) markets and in international and offshore (“International and Offshore”) markets. We attribute rental and service revenue to the country in which the
rental or service was performed, while we attribute product sales revenue to the country to which the product was shipped. The Company has elected the
practical expedient to expense commissions as the amortization period associated with the asset that would have been recognized for each order is one year or
less. Rental revenue as presented in the table below is accounted for under the lease guidance according to ASC 842 and recognized ratably over the term of the
lease.
From time to time, we may enter into contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, such as work orders containing a combination of
product sales, equipment rentals and contract labor services. For these arrangements, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation identified
in the contract based on relative standalone selling prices and recognize the related revenue as control of each individual product or service is transferred to the
customer, in satisfaction of the corresponding performance obligations.
The following table presents our revenues disaggregated by category and by geography:

Contract Balances
Based upon the terms of the specific contract, billings may be in excess of the revenue recognized, in which case the amounts are included in contract
liabilities as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Likewise, revenue recognized may exceed customer billings, in which case the amounts are reported
in contract assets.
F-23
Contract assets are recognized for revenue related to products accounted for using the over time method of accounting and are earned on completion
of the performance obligations, for which consideration to be received is conditional on something other than the passage of time. The amounts recognized as
contract assets are reclassified to trade receivables upon billing, as at that point, consideration is conditional only upon the passage of time. Contract liabilities
represent the Company’s obligations to transfer goods or services to customers for which the Company has received consideration, in full or part, from the
customer.
Balances related to contracts with customers consisted of the following:

The Company applies the practical expedient available under ASC 606, which permits us not to disclose information about remaining performance
obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

Impairment. We analyzed definite lived intangible assets for impairment as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 in accordance with Accounting
Standards Codification 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment, noting no impairment indicators were present. We analyzed goodwill for impairment as of
December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 350 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, noting no impairment
indicators were present. For our annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we performed a qualitative assessment to determine
if it was more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of our reporting unit was less than its carrying value as of the test
date. We evaluated events and circumstances since the date of our last quantitative or qualitative assessment, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and
market conditions, and our overall financial performance, and it was determined that the reporting unit fair value was, more likely than not, greater than the
carrying amount. Therefore, no impairment charges were recorded related to goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. We will continue
to evaluate our goodwill and definite lived assets for potential triggering events as conditions warrant.

Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility
The Company’s Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan, Guaranty and Security Agreement (as amended, the “Second A&R
Credit Agreement”) dated June 10, 2022, governs separate debt facilities referred to as the Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility. The Second A&R
Credit Agreement also includes additional borrowing capacities, including swing loans and letters of credit, which the Company has not utilized. The Second
A&R Credit Agreement defines the Company as the borrower and PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) as the agent. The Term Loan and the Revolving
Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, subject to certain customary exclusions. As of
December 31, 2024, the Company had $14.0 million outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility, and borrowing capacity available on the Revolving Credit
Facility was $77.6 million.
F-27
Debt Modifications. The original Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan and Guaranty and Security Agreement (as amended
prior to the Second A&R Credit Agreement, the “A&R Credit Agreement”) was dated June 10, 2019. In November 2020, the Company entered into the Fourth
Amendment to the A&R Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”), which became effective in March 2021. The Fourth Amendment included modifications
to require quarterly principal payments on the Term Loan, followed by a final payment of all unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the then-
maturity date of June 10, 2022.
The Second A&R Credit Agreement includes modifications to the definition of EBITDA and the applicable interest rate and an extension of the
maturity date to June 10, 2026. The Second A&R Credit Agreement was composed of a $90.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, $20.0 million uncommitted
accordion feature on the Revolving Credit Facility and $24.4 million Term Loan. The Second A&R Credit Agreement requires the Company to make quarterly
principal payments on the Term Loan of $1.25 million on the first day of each quarter, followed by a final payment of all unpaid principal and accrued and
unpaid interest on the maturity date.
In November 2022, the Second A&R Credit Agreement was amended to permit the Pride acquisition in August of 2022.
In April 2023, the Second A&R Credit Agreement was amended to permit the DWS acquisition in May of 2023. Refer to Note 3. Mergers and
Acquisitions for discussion of the Pride and DWS acquisitions. The April 2023 amendment also increased borrowing availability of the Revolving Credit
Facility to $110.0 million, increased borrowing availability of the Term Loan to $25.0 million and included a requirement to maintain $15.0 million of
Revolving Credit Facility availability at closing of the DWS transaction.
In December 2023, the Second A&R Credit Agreement was amended to permit the repayment in full of the Subordinated Notes (as defined below)
prior to the maturity date.
In June 2024, the Second A&R Credit Agreement was amended to permit the change in control event, the payment of the cash dividend contemplated
by the Merger Agreement and the acquisition of the 80% issued and outstanding equity securities of DWS not then owned by the Company. Refer to Note 3.
Mergers and Acquisitions for discussion of the Merger.
On February 27, 2025, we entered into a new credit agreement to replace the Second A&R Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 19. Subsequent Events
for more details.
We performed a debt modification analysis in accordance with ASC 470 and concluded that the modifications align with modification accounting.
There is no gain or loss resulting from the Second A&R Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with our debt covenants at December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the A&R Credit Agreement and the Second A&R Credit Agreement is calculated based on fixed and floating
rate components, displayed below:

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s effective interest rate on the term loan was approximately 8.77%, 7.61% and
4.79%, respectively, and the effective interest rate on the revolving line of credit was approximately 9.34%, 9.56% and 7.28%, respectively. The Company has
no capitalized interest for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
Subordinated Debt
On June 10, 2019, in conjunction with multiple acquisitions, Legacy Innovex issued subordinated notes totaling approximately $11.9 million
(collectively, the “Subordinated Notes”) payable to the sellers as part of the consideration paid by Legacy Innovex for the acquired assets. In connection with
the December 2023 amendment to the Second A&R Credit Agreement, the lenders consented and agreed to the repayment in full of the Subordinated Notes
prior to the maturity date notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Subordination Agreements, and each such Subordinated Note was repaid in full in
December 2023.

As of each reporting date, the Company considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of
deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2024, it was determined that there is sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that $133.9
million of deferred taxes are realizable. The valuation allowance was $53.3 million and $46.9 million at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023
respectively. The change in valuation allowance of $6.4 million primarily included $18.1 million established as part of the Merger offset with a $13.2 million
release in foreign jurisdictions where we now believe we can use our deferred tax assets.
The changes in valuation allowance during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

The Company has adjusted certain valuation allowances as a result of the Merger and purchase price accounting.
(2)
The Company has recorded valuation allowances on deferred tax assets attributable to net operating losses and tax credits in certain jurisdictions
due to uncertainty of its ability to utilize these assets in future periods. During 2024, the Company recorded valuation allowances of $0.4
million and $1.0 million related to domestic deferred tax assets and foreign deferred tax assets, respectively.
(3)
The Company reverses valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in the period in which, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-
likely-than-not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. In 2024, reversals were primarily driven by release in foreign jurisdictions where we
now believe we will utilize deferred tax assets.

As of December 31, 2024, the 2023, 2022, and 2021 federal income tax returns remain open for examination. The foreign and state statute of
limitations vary per jurisdiction but are generally open after 2019.
The Company has $20.7 million of excess foreign tax credits of which $17.8 million will expire in years ending 2024 to 2032 while $2.9 million are
carried forward indefinitely. The Company has $9.0 million of general business credits which expire in tax years ending 2037 to 2043.
The Company has recorded $0.2 million in uncertain tax positions in 2024 primarily related to uncertain tax positions acquired in the merger with
Dril-Quip.

The Company no longer asserts permanent reinvestment. We maintain a deferred foreign tax liability, which had a balance of $3.2 million as of
December 31, 2024. It is primarily related to estimated foreign withholding tax associated with repatriating non-U.S. earnings back to the United States.
The Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) was signed into law in August 2022. The Company has evaluated the provisions of the IRA and does not expect
any material impact to its consolidated provision for income taxes.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) recently enacted model rules for a new global minimum tax framework,
also known as Pillar Two, and certain governments globally have enacted, or are in the process of enacting, legislation considering these model rules. We have
considered the possible implication of the legislation passed or in consideration of being passed, and we do not believe these rules will have a material impact
on our taxes in the near future.
NOTE 13. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share of Company Common Stock is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to the Company during the period by the
weighted average number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding during the same period. Diluted earnings per share, if dilutive, includes the
incremental effect of issuable shares from stock awards, as determined using the treasury stock method.
F-33
As a result of the Merger, as discussed in Note 1, Summary of Business, all historical per share data, number of shares and number of issuable shares
from stock awards were retroactively adjusted by applying the Exchange Ratio to the Legacy Innovex basic and diluted weighted average number of shares. The
following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:

NOTE 14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Equity Incentive Plans
In conjunction with the Merger, effective as of the Closing Date, the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan of Dril-Quip, Inc. (the “2017 Plan”), as amended,
was maintained as the Company’s continuing equity incentive plan for the benefit of employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and members of the
board of directors. The 2017 Plan provides for awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), stock awards, restricted stock, restricted stock units,
cash awards and performance awards. The 2017 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors, for
all employee awards and by the board of directors for all director awards. Up to 3,400,000 shares of common stock may be issued, either made available from
authorized but unissued shares or from treasury shares that have been issued but reacquired by us. The total number of shares available for future issuance under
the 2017 Plan is 535,697 shares as of December 31, 2024.
As described below, certain amounts of restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“Dril-Quip RSUs”), performance unit awards
(“Performance Units”) and director stock compensation awards (“DSAs”) awarded by Dril-Quip under the 2017 Plan in the pre-combination period vested upon
the Merger, and certain amounts of the RSAs, Dril-Quip RSUs, and Performance Units awarded under the 2017 Plan remained outstanding. All such stock-
based payments awards are considered modified upon occurrence of the Merger. Compensation expense associated with those awards that have a requisite
service period remaining as of the Closing Date will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining requisite service period based on the Closing Date
fair value.
Prior to the Merger, Legacy Innovex maintained a single equity incentive plan, the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Legacy Innovex Plan”).
The 2016 Legacy Innovex Plan provided for awards of stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, bonus stock, and other awards. The
outstanding awards under the 2016 Legacy Innovex Plan were converted to RSUs of the Combined Company and adjusted for the Exchange Ratio.
Modification accounting is not required for Legacy Innovex stock-based payment awards as the fair value of the modified awards does not exceed the fair value
of the original award immediately before the original award was modified, and the vesting conditions and classification of the modified awards are the same as
the original award immediately before the original award was modified. As a result, there is no incremental compensation cost resulting from the modifications
related to Legacy Innovex stock-based payment awards.
F-34
Stock-based compensation expense recorded was $13.2 million, $2.0 million, and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and
2022, respectively. Total stock-based compensation expense by award type is as follows:

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the income tax benefit recognized in net income for stock-based payment awards was $8.1 million. No
income tax benefit was recognized in net income for stock-based payment awards for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Restricted Stock Awards
Under the 2017 Plan, Dril-Quip awarded officers, directors, and key employees RSAs, which is an award of common stock subject to time vesting.
These RSAs provide immediate ownership rights but are restricted as to transference, sale, and other disposition. The RSAs vest ratably over a three-year
period.
As per the grant agreement, RSAs granted in 2021 become fully vested upon a change-in-control event, and the Merger qualified as a change-in-
control event. As such, all 60,717 RSAs granted in 2021 outstanding at the Closing Date became fully vested as of the date of the Merger and were included in
the purchase price consideration based on the fair value on the Closing Date.
RSAs granted in 2022 and 2023 remained outstanding and, to the extent earned, will be settled in shares of Company Common Stock, subject to
appropriate adjustments to the number of shares related to each award. As of September 6, 2024, 493,048 shares of Company Common Stock subject to RSAs
were outstanding under the 2017 Plan; $4.9 million of their fair value is attributable to post-Merger services and will be recognized as equity-based
compensation expense in the post-combination period to the extent earned. The fair value of RSAs settled in shares during the year ended December 31, 2024
was $5.4 million.

As of December 31, 2024, we expect $1.9 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to RSA grants to be recognized over the weighted–
average period of 1.4 years.
Restricted Stock Units
Dril-Quip RSUs. Under the 2017 Plan, Dril-Quip awarded certain employees with key roles related to a prior acquisition Dril-Quip RSUs, which is
an unfunded and unsecured promise to deliver common stock subject to time vesting. Dril-Quip RSUs do not provide ownership rights until settlement occurs
(i.e., delivery of the underlying shares of common stock). These Dril-Quip RSUs are restricted as to transference, sale, and other disposition, and vest ratably
over a two-year period.
Dril-Quip RSUs granted in 2023 and 2024 remained outstanding at the Closing Date of the Merger and, to the extent earned, will be settled in shares
of Company Common Stock, subject to appropriate adjustments to the number of shares related to each award. As of September 6, 2024, 103,014 shares of
common stock subject to Dril-Quip RSUs remained outstanding under the 2017
F-35
Plan; $1.6 million of their fair value is attributable to post-Merger services and will be recognized as equity-based compensation expense in the post-
combination period to the extent earned. The fair value of RSUs settled in shares during the year ended December 31, 2024 was $0.1 million.

weighted–average period of 1.7 years.
Legacy Innovex RSUs. Under the 2016 Legacy Innovex Plan, Legacy Innovex previously granted RSUs subject to vesting and forfeiture conditions
during applicable restriction periods, as set forth in an applicable Award Agreements.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, after adjustment for the Exchange Ratio, Legacy Innovex granted 617,246 and
315,169 equity-classified RSUs, respectively, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $17.39 and $15.49, respectively. The fair value of RSUs settled
in shares during the year ended December 31, 2024 was $4.8 million. No RSUs were settled in shares during the year ended December 31, 2023. No RSUs were
granted or vested during the year ended December 31, 2022.
When RSUs are originally granted to employees or non-employee directors, they are valued at fair value on the date of grant. The Company
recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for awards expected to ultimately vest. The RSUs granted
in 2024 have two different vesting schedules. Immediately upon close of the Merger, 224,541 RSUs vested; as a result, the Company recorded $3.9 million of
compensation expense related to these RSUs on the Closing Date. The remaining RSUs granted in 2024 will vest over two years beginning from the date of the
Merger. RSUs granted in 2023 vest ratably over a three or four year period.

Performance Unit Awards
Under the 2017 Plan, Dril-Quip awarded Performance Units to officers and key employees. Under the terms of the Performance Units, participants
may earn from 0% to 200% of their target award based upon the Company’s relative total share return (TSR) in comparison to the 15 component companies of
the Philadelphia Oil Service Index and the S&P 500 Index. Starting with the 2022 grants, the Philadelphia Oil Service Index was replaced by the VanEck Oil
Services ETF Index.
As per the grant agreement, Performance Units granted in 2021 become fully vested upon a change-in-control event, and the Merger qualified as a
change-in-control event. As such, all 74,871 Performance Units granted in 2021 outstanding at the Closing Date
F-36
became fully vested as of the date of the Merger and were included in the purchase price consideration based on the fair value on the Closing Date.
Performance Units granted in 2022 and 2023 remained outstanding and, to the extent earned, will be settled in shares of Company Common Stock,
subject to appropriate adjustments to the number of shares related to each award. As of September 6, 2024, 303,827 shares of Company Common Stock subject
to Performance Units were outstanding under the 2017 Plan; $2.4 million of their fair value is attributable to post-Merger services and will be recognized as
equity-based compensation expense in the post-combination period to the extent earned. The fair value of Performance Units settled in shares during the year
ended December 31, 2024 was $4.3 million.
The Performance Units have a three-year performance period calculated from October 1, 2023 and 2022 to September 30, 2026 and 2025 for the
2023 and 2022 grants, respectively.

Director Stock Compensation Awards
Under the 2017 Plan, a stock compensation program for the directors is authorized whereby the directors may elect to receive all or a portion of their
fees in the form of restricted stock awards (DSAs) in an amount equal to 125% of the fees in lieu of cash. The awards are made quarterly on the first business
day after the end of each calendar quarter and vest on January 1 of the second year after the grant date.
As per the grant agreement, DSAs become fully vested upon a change-in-control event, and the Merger qualified as a change-in-control event. As
such, all 75,537 DSAs outstanding at the Closing Date became fully vested as of the date of the Merger and were included in the purchase price consideration.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company granted 15,604 DSAs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $14.68. Activity related

Stock Options
Under the 2016 Legacy Innovex Plan, Legacy Innovex previously granted stock options which generally vested in equal increments over four years
and had a ten-year term.
F-37
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each stock option became fully vested and settled immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger. Due to
the accelerated vesting, the Company recognized all remaining unamortized compensation expense of $0.6 million upon close of the Merger.
Determining fair market value. Legacy Innovex estimated the fair value of each option grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The
Black-Scholes option pricing model requires estimates of key assumptions based on both historical information and management judgment regarding market
factors and trends. Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of options requires the input of highly subjective assumptions,
including the expected volatility of the price of Legacy Innovex Common Stock, the risk-free rate, the expected term of the options and the expected dividend
yield of Legacy Innovex Common Stock. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. If factors change and
different assumptions are used, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.
•
Expected volatility: 60%—Legacy Innovex estimated expected volatility by using the historical volatilities of a peer group of public companies.
•
Risk-free interest rate: The risk-free interest rates for options granted was based on the constant maturity Treasury bond rates whose term was
consistent with the expected life of an option from the date of grant.
•
Expected term: 4 Years—Legacy Innovex based expected term for awards issued to employees on the vesting period for the option.
•
Expected dividend yield: 0%—Legacy Innovex did not anticipate paying cash dividends on shares of Legacy Innovex Common Stock;
therefore, the expected dividend yield was assumed to be zero.
•
Weighted average estimated fair value per award: Using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model the estimated fair value for the awards granted
in 2023 and 2022, after adjustment for the Exchange Ratio, were $5.95 and $5.05, respectively. No options were granted in 2024.
During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, after adjustment for the Exchange Ratio, a total of 835,175 and 121,754 options were granted
with a total grant date fair value of $5.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
The intrinsic value of options exercised in the year ended December 31, 2024 was $19.8 million. No options were exercised in 2023 or 2022.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had no unrecognized stock-based compensation expense attributable to stock options. Future grants will
result in additional compensation expense.

monitoring the activities of the Company directly or indirectly. In the normal course of business, the Company from time to time receives services and products
from, or sells products, services and rentals to, related parties, in transactions that are either not material or approved in accordance with the Company’s Related
Party Transaction Approval Policy. Such transactions are
F-38
considered related party purchases or related party revenue only during the period of time in which the customer or vendor had a related party relationship with
the entity.
The total of purchases from vendors that were related parties were $2.2 million, $1.7 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31,
2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Total revenue earned from customers that were related parties were $9.3 million, $3.8 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31,
2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In October 2023, we added a new member to Legacy Innovex’s board of directors who was an executive of Pioneer Natural
Resources, Inc. (“Pioneer”), an established customer of Legacy Innovex. Effective June 2024, this director no longer works for Pioneer and therefore is no
longer considered a related party. Of the $9.3 million of revenue earned from related parties for the year ended December 31, 2024, $5.7 million related to
Pioneer. Of the $3.8 million of revenue earned from related parties for the year ended December 31, 2023, $3.0 million related to Pioneer. The outstanding net
trade receivables due from customers that are related parties at December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $0.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Purchase Commitments
On July 1, 2022, Legacy Innovex entered into a supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) with SCF Machining Corporation, a manufacturing
company in Vietnam. Under the Supply Agreement, subject to certain terms and conditions, Legacy Innovex agreed to a minimum twelve month purchase
commitment of $10 million for the manufacturing and machining of oilfield parts for three years starting on the date of first purchase, which was in January of
2023. The Company’s total remaining purchase commitment as of December 31, 2024 under the Supply Agreement is approximately $12.8 million. On
February 7, 2025, we acquired SCF Machining Corporation. Refer to Note 19. Subsequent Events for further details.
Litigation
The Company is party to various legal proceedings from time to time. A liability is accrued when a loss is both probable and can be reasonably
estimated. Management believes that the probability of a material loss with respect to any currently pending legal proceeding is remote or cannot be reasonably
estimated. As such, the Company did not record a reserve for litigation as of December 31, 2024, 2023 or 2022.
Impulse Litigation
In conjunction with the DWS acquisition, $4.0 million of the purchase price (the “Impulse Litigation Holdback Amount”) was retained by the
Company for purposes of funding any post-closing expenses and liabilities related to a patent infringement-related litigation matter to which DWS is a party,
captioned Impulse Downhole Solutions Ltd., and Impulse Downhole Tools USA Ltd, v. Downhole Well Solutions, LLC, Civil Action No. 4:23-cv-02954, in
the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas Houston Division (the “Impulse Litigation”). The Company is entitled to a claw back of 80%
of any post-closing expenses and liabilities related to the Impulse Litigation up to the Impulse Litigation Holdback Amount and will be responsible for any
expenses and liabilities related to the Impulse Litigation that exceed the Impulse Litigation Holdback Amount. Upon the conclusion of the Impulse Litigation,
the remaining balance of the Impulse Litigation Holdback Amount, if any, will be payable to the sellers in the DWS acquisition. We determined that at
December 31, 2024, a loss associated with this litigation cannot be reasonably estimated, primarily due to the early stages of the case.
F-39
Steamfitters Complaint
On March 21, 2024, Plaintiff Steamfitters Local 449 Pension Fund (“Plaintiff”) filed a putative class action complaint (the “Steamfitters Complaint”)
captioned Steamfitters Local 449 Pension Fund v. Dril-Quip, Inc., et al., C.A. No. 2024-0284-LWW (Del. Ch.) (the “Action”). The Action challenged the
following provisions of a Stockholders Agreement that Amberjack Capital Partners, L.P. (“Amberjack”), Legacy Innovex’s largest equity holder, had agreed to
enter into with the Company in connection with the Merger (the “Stockholders Agreement”): (i) a provision requiring Amberjack to vote in favor of the board
of director’s nominees at the Company’s 2025 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Voting Requirement”) and (ii) a provision prohibiting certain transfers from
Amberjack directly to an “Activist Investor” (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) not through public market sales so long as Amberjack owned at least
10% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “Activist Transfer Restriction”). On May 8, 2024, the Company filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing that the Company and Amberjack had agreed to amend the Stockholders Agreement to
eliminate the Voting Requirement and the Activist Transfer Restriction. On May 21, 2024, the Court entered a stipulated Order dismissing the Action as moot
and retaining jurisdiction to determine Plaintiff’s counsel’s application for an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses (the “Dismissal Order”). The Dismissal
Order was entered by the Court without a finding of wrongdoing by the Company, its directors, or anyone else.
Following entry of the Dismissal Order, the parties engaged in arm’s-length negotiations, pursuant to which the Company and/or its insurer(s) have
agreed to pay Plaintiff’s counsel, on behalf of all defendants in the Action, $540,000 in attorneys’ fees (inclusive of expenses) (the “Mootness Fee”) in full
settlement for any claim by Plaintiff or Plaintiff’s counsel for an award of fees, costs, and expenses in connection with this Action. The Court has not and will
not pass judgment on the Mootness Fee.
Contingent Purchase Consideration
The acquisition of 1185641 B.C. LTD (d/b/a Great North Wellhead and Frac, “Great North”) by Dril-Quip in the third quarter of 2023 included a
contingent consideration arrangement that requires additional consideration to be paid by the Company to the sellers of Great North based on the future
revenues of Great North for fiscal years 2024 and 2025. The revenue targets were not met for fiscal year 2024, and no payout was made. At December 31, 2024,
the remaining undiscounted amounts Innovex could pay under the contingent consideration agreement ranges between zero and $10.4 million. Based on
management’s estimate of revenue for fiscal year 2025, the probability of successfully achieving the minimum earn-out target is less than probable. As such, the
Company did not record a liability for the contingent purchase consideration as of December 31, 2024.
NOTE 17. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, FASB ASC 360-10-45-9, the Company identified $1.6 million of land and buildings,
determined to be held for sale in the preliminary purchase price allocation for the Merger. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company identified $3.1 million of
machinery determined to be held for sale and reclassified the amount from property and equipment, net. The assets’ net carrying amount are classified as Assets
held for sale on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2024.
NOTE 18. STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN
In conjunction with the Merger, effective as of the Closing Date, the Company maintained the share repurchase plans authorized by the Dril-Quip
board of directors. Under the share repurchase plans, we were authorized to repurchase up to an aggregate $200 million of our common stock. The repurchase
plans had no set expiration date and any repurchased shares were expected to be cancelled. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not
purchase any shares under the share repurchase plans.
On February 25, 2025, the board of directors approved a new share repurchase program. Refer to Note 19. Subsequent Events for more details.
F-40
NOTE 19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
SCF Machining Corporation (“SCF”) Acquisition
On February 7, 2025, the Company acquired SCF in exchange for $17.8 million of cash, subject to closing and post-closing adjustments. SCF is a
Canadian-domiciled entity and parent company to SCF Machining Corporation Vietnam Company Limited, a Vietnam-based company that was established to
grow Innovex’s low-cost country supply chain by establishing an exclusive manufacturing vendor to provide Innovex with high quality, low price machined
goods. We believe this acquisition will enhance our supply chain flexibility and provide greater optionality for solutions of our product portfolio. The
acquisition qualifies as a business combination and will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. We are currently in the process of
finalizing the accounting for this transaction and expect to complete our preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed by the end of the first quarter of 2025.
New Credit Agreement
On February 27, 2025, the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of
February 27, 2025, among the Company, and each party joined thereto from time to time as a guarantor, as guarantors, the financial institutions from time to
time party thereto, as lenders, and PNC Bank, National Association, as the agent for lenders (the “New Credit Agreement”) to replace the Second A&R Credit
Agreement. The New Credit Agreement matures on February 27, 2030. The New Credit Agreement, among other things, (i) extended the maturity of the
agreement from June 2026 to February 2030, (ii) increased the maximum revolving amount from $110 million to $200 million, which may, subject to certain
conditions, be increased to $250 million, (iii) eliminated the term loan commitment and (iv) provided for an applicable margin for interest on the loans to be
based on availability, effective as of April 1, 2025. The applicable margin under the New Credit Agreement will range from 0.50% to 1.00% for swing loans
and alternate base rate revolving loans and 1.50% to 2.00% for term SOFR revolving loans.
New Share Repurchase Program
On February 25, 2025, the Company’s board of directors approved a new share repurchase program (the “New Share Repurchase Program”) that
authorizes repurchases of up to an aggregate of $100 million of our outstanding common stock. In connection the New Share Repurchase Program, all share
repurchase plans previously authorized by the Dril-Quip board of directors have been terminated. The New Share Repurchase Program does not require us to
repurchase a specific number of shares or have an expiration date. The New Share Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued by the Company’s
board of directors at any time without prior notice. The authorized repurchases will be made from time to time in the open market, through block trades or in
privately negotiated transactions. The timing, volume and nature of share repurchases will be at the discretion of the Company’s management and dependent on
market conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The cost of the shares that are repurchased
will be funded from any funds of the Company legally available therefore. Any shares repurchased under the program will be cancelled.
DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES
REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE SECURITIES
EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
The following discussion is a summary of the terms of the common stock of Innovex International, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), which
is the only class of our securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as contained in our
restated certificate of incorporation, as amended by that certain certificate of amendment dated as of September 6, 2024 (our “certificate of incorporation”), and
our amended and restated bylaws, as amended by that certain amendment dated as of September 6, 2024 (our “bylaws”), and does not purport to be complete
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of applicable law, to our certificate of incorporation and to our bylaws, which are filed as exhibits
3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
par value $0.01 per share.
Common Stock
Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters on which holders are permitted to vote, including the election of directors.
There are no cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the total votes entitled to vote in an election of directors will be able to elect all of
the directors standing for election. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, the holders of the common stock will share
equally on a per share basis any dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. If we are liquidated,
dissolved or wound up, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to a ratable share of any distribution to stockholders, after satisfaction of all of our
liabilities and of the prior rights of any outstanding class of our preferred stock. Our common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription
rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock. All outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and
nonassessable.
Preferred Stock
Under the terms of our certificate of incorporation, our board of directors has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue shares of preferred
stock from time to time in one or more series, and to fix the number of shares and terms of each such series. The board may determine the designation and other
terms of each series, including the following:
•
dividend rates;
•
whether dividends will be cumulative or non-cumulative;
•
redemption rights;
•
liquidation rights;
•
sinking fund provisions;
•
conversion or exchange rights; and
•
voting rights.
The issuance of preferred stock, while providing us with flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other transactions, could adversely
affect the voting power of holders of our common stock. It could also affect the likelihood that holders of our common stock will receive dividend payments and
payments upon liquidation.
The issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase shares of preferred stock, could be used to discourage an attempt to
obtain control of our company. For example, if, in the exercise of its fiduciary obligations, our board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal was
not in the best interest of our stockholders, the board could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock containing class voting rights that would enable
the holder or holders of this series to prevent a change of control transaction or make it more difficult. Alternatively, a change of control transaction deemed by
the board to be in the best interest of our stockholders could be facilitated by issuing a series of preferred stock having sufficient voting rights to provide a
required percentage vote of the stockholders.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Our Bylaws
Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws, as described below, could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing
another party from acquiring or seeking to acquire control of us. These provisions are intended to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and
inadequate takeover bids and to encourage anyone seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our board of directors. However, these provisions may
also delay, deter or prevent a change in control or other takeover of us that our stockholders might consider to be in their best interests, including transactions
that might result in a premium being paid over the market price of our common stock and also may limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future
for our common stock. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. We believe that the benefits of increased protection
give us the potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us, and that the benefits of this
increased protection outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging those proposals, because negotiation of those proposals could result in an improvement of their
terms.
Election and Removal of Directors
Our board of directors must consist of between three and 12 directors. The exact number of directors is fixed from time to time by a majority of the
directors then in office. Our board of directors is divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms, with only one class being elected each year by
our stockholders. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be elected to succeed the class of directors whose terms have expired. This system of
electing and removing directors may discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us because it generally
makes it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors. In addition, no director may be removed except for cause, and directors may be
removed for cause only by the affirmative vote of shares representing a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors.
Any vacancy occurring on the board of directors and any newly created directorship may only be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
remaining directors in office.
Stockholder Meetings
Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the chairman of our board of
directors, the chief executive officer, the president or the board pursuant to a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire board of
directors.
Stockholder Action by Written Consent
Our certificate of incorporation provides that any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of our company must be effected at an
annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.
Amendment of Bylaws
Our bylaws may generally be altered, amended or repealed, and new bylaws may be adopted, by:
•
the board, subject to the right of stockholders to amend or repeal such bylaws; or
•
the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of all classes of our stock
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, at any annual meeting, or at any special meeting if
notice of the proposed amendment is contained in the notice of the special meeting.
Other Limitations on Stockholder Actions
Our bylaws also impose some procedural requirements on stockholders who wish to:
•
make nominations in the election of directors;
•
propose that a director be removed;
•
propose any repeal or change in our bylaws; or
•
propose any other business to be brought before an annual or special meeting of stockholders.
Under these procedural requirements, in order to bring a proposal before a meeting of stockholders, a stockholder must deliver timely notice of a
proposal pertaining to a proper subject for presentation at the meeting to our corporate secretary along with the information required under our bylaws,
including the following:
•
a description of the business or nomination to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting,
together with the text of the proposal (including the text of any resolution proposed for consideration);
•
the names and addresses of any other stockholder known by such stockholder to be supporting the proposal;
•
any Disclosable Interests (as defined in our bylaws) of such stockholder or such beneficial owner, if any, or any proposed nominee;
•
any financial interest or other material interest of such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, in the proposal;
•
a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to bring the proposed business before the
meeting; and
•
a description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings between such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, and any other
person or persons (including their names) in connection with such proposal by such stockholder.
A stockholder providing notice of business proposed to be brought before a meeting shall further update and supplement such notice, if necessary, so
that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten
business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must generally be delivered to, or mailed and received at, our principal executive offices:
•
in connection with an annual meeting of stockholders, not later than the close of the business on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary
of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided
however, that in the event that the date of such annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary
date, a stockholder notice will be timely if received by us not later than the close of business on the later of (1) the 90th day prior to the
annual meeting and (2) the 10th day following the day on which we first publicly announce the date of the annual meeting; or
•
in connection with the election of a director at a special meeting of stockholders, not later than the close of business on the 10th day
following the day on which notice of the date of the special meeting was mailed to the stockholders or public disclosure of the date of the
special meeting was made, whichever occurs first.
In order to submit a nomination for our board of directors, a stockholder must also submit any information with respect to the nominee that we would
be required to include in a proxy statement, as well as some other information. If a stockholder fails to follow the required procedures, the stockholder’s
proposal or nominee will be ineligible and will not be voted on by our stockholders.
Limitation on Liability of Directors
Our certificate of incorporation provides that no director will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duties as a director, except as required by applicable law, as in effect from time to time. Currently, Delaware law requires that liability be imposed for
the following:
•
any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to our company or our stockholders;
•
any act or omission not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
•
unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law (the “DGCL”); and
•
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Our bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, we will indemnify any of our officers and directors against all expense,
liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered
arising out of the fact that the person is or was our director or officer, or served any other enterprise at our request as a director, officer, employee, agent or
fiduciary. We will advance the expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by a person indemnified by this provision when we receive an undertaking to repay
such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by us.
Transactions and Corporate Opportunities
In order to approve certain transactions involving related persons, our certificate of incorporation requires the affirmative vote of the holders of (1)
not less than 80% of the then outstanding voting stock held by stockholders voting together as a single class and (2) not less than 66 2/3% of the then
outstanding voting stock not beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the related person. These transactions include:
•
any merger, consolidation or share exchange of us or any of our subsidiaries with (1) any related person or (2) any other person who is, or
after such merger, consolidation, or share exchange would be, directly or indirectly an affiliate of the related person;
•
any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition by us or any of our subsidiaries to any related person or an
affiliate of a related person or by any related person or an
affiliate of a related person to us or any of our subsidiaries, of any assets or properties having an aggregate fair market value of
$10,000,000 or more;
•
any issuance or transfer by us or any of our subsidiaries of any of our securities or any of our subsidiaries’ securities to any related person
or an affiliate of a related person (subject to certain exceptions);
•
any dissolution voluntarily caused or proposed by or on behalf of a related person or an affiliate of a related person;
•
any reclassification of securities or recapitalization of us, or any merger, consolidation or share exchange of us with any of our subsidiaries
or any other transaction that has the effect, either directly or indirectly, of increasing by more than 1% the proportionate share of the
outstanding stock of any class or series or the securities convertible into stock of any class or series of us or any of our subsidiaries that is
directly or indirectly owned by any related person or an affiliate of a related person or otherwise increasing the voting power of the
outstanding stock of us or any of our subsidiaries that is held by any such related person or affiliate;
•
any series or combination of transactions having, directly or indirectly, the same effect as any of the foregoing; or
•
any agreement, contract, or other arrangement providing, directly or indirectly, for any of the foregoing transactions mentioned above.
A related person is a person or entity who or which (1) is the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the aggregate voting power of all of our outstanding
stock; (2) is one of our affiliates and at any time within the two-year period immediately prior to the date in question was the beneficial owner of 10% or more
of the aggregate voting power of all of our outstanding stock; or (3) is an assignee of or has otherwise succeeded to any shares of our stock that were at any time
within the two-year period immediately prior to the date in question beneficially owned by any related person, if such assignment or succession shall have
occurred in the course of a privately negotiated transaction rather than an open market transaction.
These voting requirements do not apply, however, to a business combination if:
•
the cash, property, securities or other consideration to be received per share by holders of each and every outstanding class or series of our
shares in the business combination meets certain requirements; or
•
a majority of the continuing directors shall have approved the business combination.
Pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of September 6, 2024, by and among the Company and certain entities affiliated with Amberjack
Capital Partners, L.P. (“Amberjack”) (collectively, the “Amberjack Funds”), we have agreed, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and subject to
applicable legal requirements and any express agreement, that the Amberjack Funds and their respective affiliates and each Amberjack board designee that is
also a director, officer, employee or other representative of Amberjack (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) may, and has no duty not to, (i) invest in, carry on
and conduct any business of any kind, nature or description, whether or not such business is competitive with or in the same or similar lines of business as us or
any of our subsidiaries, (ii) do business with any client, customer, vendor or lessor of any of us or our affiliates, and/or (iii) make investments in any kind of
property in which we or our subsidiaries may make investments. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or any other applicable law, we have
renounce any interest or expectancy to participate in any business, business opportunity, transaction, investment or other matter of any Covered Person as
currently conducted or as may be conducted in the future, and waives any claim against a Covered Person and shall indemnify a Covered Person against any
claim that such Covered Person is liable to us or our stockholders for
breach of any fiduciary duty or otherwise solely by reason of such Covered Person’s participation in, or failure to offer or communicate to us, its subsidiaries or
any controlled affiliates any information regarding, any such business opportunity.
Anti‑Takeover Effects of Delaware Law
We are a Delaware corporation and are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. Section 203 provides that we may not engage in a broad range of
“business combinations” with any “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that the person became an interested stockholder unless:
•
prior to the time that person became an interested stockholder, our board of directors had approved either the business combination or the
transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder;
•
upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder, that person owned at least 85% of
our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding shares owned by persons who are directors and also
officers and shares owned in employee stock plans in which participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares
held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
•
at or subsequent to the time that person became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by our board of directors
and by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
Generally, a business combination includes a merger, consolidation, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the
interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an interested stockholder is a person who, together with that person’s affiliates and associates, owns, or
within the previous three years owned, 15% or more of our voting stock. Under Section 203, the restrictions described above also do not apply to specific
business combinations proposed by an interested stockholder following the announcement or notification of designated extraordinary transactions involving the
corporation and a person who had not been an interested stockholder during the previous three years or who became an interested stockholder with the approval
of a majority of the corporation’s directors, if such extraordinary transaction is approved or not opposed by a majority of the directors who were directors prior
to any person becoming an interested stockholder during the previous three years or were recommended for election or elected to succeed such directors by a
majority of such directors.
Section 203 could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts with respect to us and, accordingly, may discourage
attempts to acquire us.
Exclusive Forum Provision
Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the exclusive forum for (1) any derivative action or
proceeding brought on our behalf, (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, other employee
or stockholder to us or our stockholders, (3) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our
bylaws or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or (4) any action asserting a claim governed by the
internal affairs doctrine of the law of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if
the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, the federal district court for the District of Delaware). Our bylaws also provide that,
unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for resolving any
complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This provision will not apply to any claims seeking to enforce any
duty or liability created by the Exchange Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of our capital stock is
deemed to have notice of and consented to the these
provisions of our bylaws. These provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or
our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees.

to equal the highest Applicable Margin specified in the pricing table set forth above until the date of delivery of such financial
statements, Borrowing Base Certificates and/or other information, at which time the rate will be adjusted based upon the Average
Excess Availability calculated pursuant to such statements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no downward
adjustment in any Applicable Margin shall be made on any Adjustment Date on which any Event of Default shall have occurred and

forth above and shall continue at such highest Applicable Margin until the date (if any) on which such Event of Default shall be

Availability calculated pursuant to the most recently delivered financial statements, Borrowing Base Certificate and Compliance
Certificate delivered by Loan Parties to Agent pursuant to Sections 9.2(a) and 9.8. Any increase in interest rates payable by
Borrower under this Agreement and the Other Documents pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence shall be in addition to

Certificates or for any other reason, Agent determines that (a) Average Excess Availability as previously calculated as of any
applicable date for any applicable period was inaccurate, and (b) a proper calculation of Average Excess Availability for any such
period would have resulted in different pricing for such period, then (i) if the proper calculation of Average Excess Availability
would have resulted in a higher interest rate for such period, automatically and immediately without the necessity of any demand or
notice by Agent or any other affirmative act of any party, the interest accrued on the applicable outstanding Advances for such period
under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be deemed to be retroactively increased by, and Borrower
shall be obligated to immediately pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders an amount equal to the excess of the amount of
interest that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest actually paid for such period; and (ii) if the proper
calculation of Average Excess Availability would have resulted in a lower interest rate for such period, then the interest accrued on
the applicable outstanding Advances for such period under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be
deemed to remain unchanged, and Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to repay interest to the Borrower; provided, that, if as
a result of any restatement or other event or other determination by Agent a proper calculation of Average Excess Availability would
have resulted in a higher interest rate for one or more periods and a lower interest rate for one or more other periods (due to the
shifting of income or expenses from one period to another period or any other reason), then the amount payable by Borrower
pursuant to clause (i) above shall be based upon the excess, if any, of the amount of interest that should have been paid for all
applicable periods over the amounts of interest actually paid for such periods.

payment is due, in the amount required to pay in full such interest, fee, charge or Obligation, and such request shall be irrevocable.
(b)
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.2(a), in the event the Borrower desires to obtain a Term SOFR

day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date such Term SOFR Rate Loan is to be borrowed, specifying (i) the date of the

which amount shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 thereafter, and (iii) the duration of
the first Interest Period therefor. Interest Periods for Term SOFR Rate Loans shall be for one (1), three (3) or six (6) months;

[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
54
(c)
Each Interest Period of a Term SOFR Rate Loan shall commence on the date such Term SOFR Rate Loan is

shall end after the last day of the Term.
(d)
Borrower shall elect the initial Interest Period applicable to a Term SOFR Rate Loan by its notice of
borrowing given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or by its notice of conversion given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(e), as the
case may be. Borrower shall elect the duration of each succeeding Interest Period by giving irrevocable written notice to Agent of
such duration not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest

Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Term SOFR Rate Loan to a Domestic Rate Loan subject to Section 2.2(e)
below.
(e)
Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower may, on the
last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to any outstanding Term SOFR Rate Loan, or on any Business Day
with respect to Domestic Rate Loans, convert any such loan into a loan of another type in the same aggregate principal amount
provided that any conversion of a Term SOFR Rate Loan shall be made only on the last Business Day of the then current Interest
Period applicable to such Term SOFR Rate Loan. If Borrower desires to convert a loan, Borrower shall give Agent written notice by
no later than 1:00 p.m. (i) on the day which is two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur with
respect to a conversion from a Domestic Rate Loan to a Term SOFR Rate Loan, or (ii) on the day which is one (1) Business Day
prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur (which date shall be the last Business Day of the Interest Period for the
applicable Term SOFR Rate Loan) with respect to a conversion from a Term SOFR Rate Loan to a Domestic Rate Loan, specifying,
in each case, the date of such conversion, the loans to be converted and if the conversion is to a Term SOFR Rate Loan, the duration
of the first Interest Period therefor. In the case of the renewal of a Term SOFR Rate Loan at the end of an Interest Period, the first
day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day of the preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of interest for
such day.
(f)
At its option and upon written notice given prior to 1:00 p.m. at least three (3) Business Days prior to the
date of such prepayment, the Borrower may, subject to Section 2.2(g), prepay any Advances in whole at any time or in part from time
to time with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such repayment. The Borrower shall specify the date of
prepayment of such Advances and the amount of such prepayment. In the event that any prepayment of an Advance is required or
permitted on a date other than the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall
indemnify Agent and Lenders therefor in accordance with Section 2.2(g).
(g)
The Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against
any and all losses or expenses that Agent and Lenders may sustain or incur as a consequence of any prepayment, conversion of or
any default by the Borrower in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Term SOFR Rate Loan or failure by any the
Borrower to complete a borrowing of, a prepayment of or conversion of or to a Term SOFR Rate Loan after notice thereof has been
given, including, but not limited to, any interest payable by
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
55
Agent or Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Term SOFR Rate Loans hereunder. In the case of
any Term SOFR Rate Loan, any losses or expenses to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender
to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Term SOFR Rate Loan
had such event described in the immediately preceding sentence not occurred, at the Contract Rate that would have been applicable to
such Term SOFR Rate Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or,
in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Term SOFR
Rate Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such
Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from
other banks offering loans based on SOFR. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence
submitted by Agent or any Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(h)
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Applicable Law, treaty, regulation or directive, or any
change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, including without limitation any Change in Law, shall make it unlawful
for Lenders or any Lender (for purposes of this Section 2.2(h), the term “Lender” shall include any Lender and the office or branch
where any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender makes or maintains any Term SOFR Rate Loans) to make or maintain its
Term SOFR Rate Loans, the obligation of Lenders (or such affected Lender) to make Term SOFR Rate Loans hereunder shall
forthwith be cancelled and Borrower shall, if any affected Term SOFR Rate Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon request from
Agent, either pay all such affected Term SOFR Rate Loans or convert such affected Term SOFR Rate Loans into Domestic Rate
Loans. If any such payment or conversion of any Term SOFR Rate Loan is made on a day that is not the last day of the Interest
Period applicable to such Term SOFR Rate Loan, Borrower shall pay Agent, upon Agent’s request, such amount or amounts set forth
in clause (g) above. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Agent or any
Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(i)
Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent nor any Lender, nor any of their
participants, is required actually to acquire SOFR deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest
accrues based on the Term SOFR Rate. The provisions set forth herein shall apply as if each Lender or its participants had match
funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing based on the Term SOFR Rate by acquiring SOFR deposits for each Interest
Period in the amount of the Term SOFR Rate Loans.

of the Term, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not in excess of the Maximum Swing Loan Advance Amount,
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
56
provided that the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans and the Revolving Advances at any one time outstanding
shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less the Maximum Undrawn Amount
of all outstanding Letters of Credit or (ii) the Formula Amount. All Swing Loans shall be Domestic Rate Loans only. Borrower may
borrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender), repay and reborrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender)
Swing Loans and Swing Loan Lender may make Swing Loans as provided in this Section 2.3 during the period between Settlement
Dates. All Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a secured promissory note (the “Swing Loan Note”) substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit 2.3(a). Swing Loan Lender’s agreement to make Swing Loans under this Agreement is cancelable at any time for
any reason whatsoever and the making of Swing Loans by Swing Loan Lender from time to time shall not create any duty or
obligation, or establish any course of conduct, pursuant to which Swing Loan Lender shall thereafter be obligated to make Swing
Loans in the future.
(b)
Upon either (i) any request by Borrower for a Revolving Advance made pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or (ii) the
occurrence of any deemed request by Borrower for a Revolving Advance pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(a), Swing Loan
Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to have such request or deemed request treated as a request for a Swing Loan, and may
advance same day funds to Borrower as a Swing Loan; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided for herein,
Swing Loan Lender may not make Swing Loans if Swing Loan Lender has been notified by Agent or by Required Lenders that one
or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments
have been terminated for any reason.
(c)
Upon the making of a Swing Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of
Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swing Loan), each Lender holding a
Revolving Commitment shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably
purchased from Swing Loan Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swing Loan in
proportion to its Revolving Commitment Percentage. Swing Loan Lender or Agent may, at any time, require the Lenders holding
Revolving Commitments to fund such participations by means of a Settlement as provided for in Section 2.5(d) below. From and
after the date, if any, on which any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is required to fund, and funds, its participation in any
Swing Loans purchased hereunder, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage of all
payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent in respect of such Swing Loan; provided that no
Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Advances in an amount in excess of its
Revolving Commitment Amount minus its Participation Commitment (taking into account any reallocations under Section 2.21) of
the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.
2.4Disbursement of Advance Proceeds. All Advances shall be disbursed from whichever office or other place Agent may
designate from time to time and, together with any and all other Obligations of Loan Parties to Agent or Lenders, shall be charged to
Borrower’s Account on Agent’s books. The proceeds of each Revolving Advance or Swing Loan requested by the Borrower or
deemed to have been requested by the Borrower under Sections 2.2(a), 2.5(b) or 2.13 shall, (i) with respect to requested Revolving
Advances, to the extent Lenders make such Revolving Advances in accordance with Section 2.2(a), 2.5(b) or 2.13, and with respect
to Swing
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
57
Loans made upon any request or deemed request by Borrower for a Revolving Advance to the extent Swing Loan Lender makes such
Swing Loan in accordance with Section 2.3(b), be made available to the Borrower on the day so requested by way of credit to the
Borrower’s operating account at PNC, or such other bank as Borrower may designate following notification to Agent, in immediately
available federal funds or other immediately available funds or, (ii) with respect to Revolving Advances deemed to have been
requested by the Borrower or Swing Loans made upon any deemed request for a Revolving Advance by the Borrower, be disbursed
to Agent to be applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request. During the Term, Borrower may use the
Revolving Advances and Swing Loans by borrowing, prepaying and re-borrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions
hereof.
2.5Making and Settlement of Advances.
(a)
Each borrowing of Revolving Advances shall be advanced according to the applicable Revolving
Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments (subject to any contrary terms of Section 2.21). Each
borrowing of Swing Loans shall be advanced by Swing Loan Lender alone.
(b)
Promptly after receipt by Agent of a request or a deemed request for a Revolving Advance pursuant to
Section 2.2(a) and, with respect to Revolving Advances, to the extent Agent elects not to provide a Swing Loan or the making of a
Swing Loan would result in the aggregate amount of all outstanding Swing Loans exceeding the maximum amount permitted in
Section 2.3(a), Agent shall notify Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments of its receipt of such request specifying the
information provided by Borrower and the apportionment among Lenders of the requested Revolving Advance as determined by
Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Advance to Agent such
that Agent is able to, and Agent shall, to the extent the applicable Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and
subject to Section 8.2, fund such Revolving Advance to Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Payment
Office prior to the close of business, on the applicable borrowing date; provided that if any applicable Lender fails to remit such
funds to Agent in a timely manner, Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Advance of such
Lender on such borrowing date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.5(c).
(c)
Unless Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender holding a
Revolving Commitment that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its applicable Revolving Commitment
Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance available to Agent, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such
Lender has made such amount available to Agent on such date in accordance with Section 2.5(b) and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. Agent will promptly notify Borrower of its receipt of any such
notice from a Lender. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the
requested Revolving Advance available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to Agent on
demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to
Borrower through but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater
of (A) (x) the daily average Effective Federal Funds Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) during such period as quoted
by Agent, times (y) such amount or (B) a rate determined by Agent
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
58
in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the
Revolving Interest Rate for Revolving Advances that are Domestic Rate Loans. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable
Revolving Advance to Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Advance. Any payment by Loan
Parties shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that shall have
failed to make such payment to Agent. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amounts
owing under this paragraph (c) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error.
(d)
Agent, on behalf of Swing Loan Lender, shall demand settlement (a “Settlement”) of all or any Swing Loans
with Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments on at least a weekly basis, or on any more frequent date that Agent elects or that
Swing Loan Lender at its option exercisable for any reason whatsoever may request, by notifying Lenders holding the Revolving
Commitments of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephonic or electronic transmission no later than 3:00 p.m. on the date of
such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.21, each Lender holding a
Revolving Commitment shall transfer the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the outstanding principal
amount (plus interest accrued thereon to the extent requested by Agent) of the applicable Swing Loan with respect to which
Settlement is requested by Agent, to such account of Agent as Agent may designate not later than 5:00 p.m. on such Settlement Date
if requested by Agent by 3:00 p.m., otherwise not later than 5:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. Settlements may occur at any time
notwithstanding that the conditions precedent to making Revolving Advances set forth in Section 8.2 have not been satisfied or the
Revolving Commitments shall have otherwise been terminated at such time. All amounts so transferred to Agent shall be applied
against the amount of outstanding Swing Loans and, when so applied shall constitute Revolving Advances of such Lenders accruing
interest as Domestic Rate Loans. If any such amount is not transferred to Agent by any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment on
such Settlement Date, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as
specified in Section 2.5(c).
(e)
If any Lender or Participant (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its
Advances, or interest thereon, or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by set-off) in a
greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s
Advances, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder,
such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participation in such portion of each such other Lender’s
Advances, or shall provide such other Lender with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary
to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other
Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited
Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without
interest. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that each
Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with
respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion, and the obligations owing to each such
purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender’s Advances shall be part of the
Obligations secured by the
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
59
Collateral, and the obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such purchased portion of
any other Lender’s Advances shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral.
2.6Maximum Advances. The aggregate balance of Revolving Advances plus Swing Loans outstanding at any time shall not
exceed the lesser of (a) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and
outstanding Letters of Credit or (b) the Formula Amount.
2.7Manner and Repayment of Advances.
(a)
The Revolving Advances and Swing Loans shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term
subject to earlier prepayment as herein provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Advances shall be subject to earlier repayment
upon (x) acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement or (y) termination of this Agreement. Each
payment (including each prepayment) by any Loan Party on account of the principal of and interest on the Advances shall be applied,
first to the outstanding Swing Loans and next, pro rata according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders,
to the outstanding Revolving Advances (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.21).
(b)
Each Loan Party recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes, drafts or any other items of
payment relating to and/or proceeds of Collateral may not be collectible by Agent on the date received by Agent. Agent shall
conditionally credit the Borrower’s Account for each item of payment on the next Business Day after the Business Day on which
such item of payment is received by Agent (and the Business Day on which each such item of payment is so credited shall be referred
to, with respect to such item, as the “Application Date”). Agent is not, however, required to credit the Borrower’s Account for the
amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Agent and Agent may charge the Borrower’s Account for the amount of
any item of payment which is returned, for any reason whatsoever, to Agent unpaid. Subject to the foregoing, Borrower agrees that
for purposes of computing the interest charges under this Agreement, each item of payment received by Agent shall be deemed
applied by Agent on account of the Obligations on its respective Application Date. All proceeds received by Agent shall be applied to
the Obligations in accordance with Section 4.8(g).
(c)
All payments of principal, interest and other amounts payable hereunder, or under any of the Other
Documents shall be made to Agent at the Payment Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the due date therefor in Dollars in federal funds
or other funds immediately available to Agent. Agent shall have the right to effectuate payment of any and all Obligations due and
owing hereunder by charging the Borrower’s Account or by making Advances as provided in Section 2.2.
(d)
Except as expressly provided herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Loan Party on
account of principal, interest, fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be made without deduction, setoff or counterclaim and
shall be made to Agent on behalf of Lenders to the Payment Office, in each case on or prior to 1:00 p.m., in Dollars and in
immediately available funds.
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
60
2.8Repayment of Excess Advances. If at any time the aggregate balance of outstanding Revolving Advances, Swing Loans,
and/or Advances taken as a whole exceeds the maximum amount of such type of Advances and/or Advances taken as a whole (as
applicable) permitted hereunder, such excess Advances shall be immediately due and payable without the necessity of any demand,
at the Payment Office, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default has occurred.
2.9Statement of Account. Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account (“Borrower’s
Account”) in the name of Innovex in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each Advance made by Agent or Lenders and
the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however, the failure by Agent to record the date and amount of
any Advance shall not adversely affect Agent or any Lender. Each month, Agent shall send to Borrower a statement showing the
accounting for the Advances made, payments made or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between Agent, Lenders and
Loan Parties during such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon Loan Parties in the absence of
manifest error and shall constitute an account stated between Lenders and Loan Parties unless Agent receives a written statement of
Loan Parties’ specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30) days after such statement is received by Borrower. The records of Agent
with respect to Borrower’s Account shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the amounts of Advances and other charges
thereto and of payments applicable thereto.
2.10Letters of Credit.
(a)
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Issuer shall issue or cause the issuance of standby and/or trade
letters of credit denominated in Dollars (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower except to the extent that the issuance
thereof would then cause the sum of (i) the outstanding Revolving Advances plus (ii) the outstanding Swing Loans, plus (iii) the
Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, plus (iv) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of the Letter of Credit to
be issued to exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount or (y) the Formula Amount (calculated without
giving effect to the deductions provided for in Section 2.1(a)(y)(iv)). The Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of
Credit shall not exceed in the aggregate at any time the Letter of Credit Sublimit. All disbursements or payments related to Letters of
Credit shall be deemed to be Domestic Rate Loans consisting of Revolving Advances and shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest
Rate for Domestic Rate Loans. Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not bear interest (but fees shall accrue in respect
of outstanding Letters of Credit as provided in Section 3.2).
(b)
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter
of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Body or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain
Issuer from issuing any Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force
of law) from any Governmental Body with jurisdiction over Issuer shall prohibit, or request that Issuer refrain from, the issuance of
letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit any
restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date of this
Agreement, or shall impose upon Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date of this
Agreement, and which Issuer in good faith deems
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
61
material to it, or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of Issuer applicable to letters of credit
generally.
2.11Issuance of Letters of Credit.
(a)
The Borrower may request Issuer to issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit by delivering to Issuer,
with a copy to Agent at the Payment Office, prior to 1:00 p.m., at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance,
such Issuer’s form of Letter of Credit Application (the “Letter of Credit Application”) completed to the satisfaction of Agent and
Issuer; and, such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as Agent or Issuer may reasonably request. Issuer
shall not issue any requested Letter of Credit if such Issuer has received notice from Agent or any Lender that one or more of the
applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments of Lenders to
make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason.
(b)
Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts, other written
demands for payment, or acceptances of usance drafts when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and
when accompanied by the documents described therein and (ii) have an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such
Letter of Credit’s date of issuance and in no event later than the last day of the Term. Each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject
either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as most recently published by the International Chamber of
Commerce at the time a Letter of Credit is issued (the “UCP”) or the International Standby Practices (International Chamber of
Commerce Publication Number 590), or any subsequent revision thereof at the time a standby Letter of Credit is issued, as
determined by Issuer, and each trade Letter of Credit shall be subject to the UCP. In addition, no trade Letter of Credit may permit
the presentation of an ocean bill of lading that includes a condition that the original bill of lading is not required to claim the goods
shipped thereunder.
(c)
Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to notify Lenders of the request by Borrower for a Letter of Credit
hereunder.
2.12Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit.
(a)
Borrower shall authorize and direct any Issuer to name the Borrower as the “Applicant” or “Account Party”
of each Letter of Credit. If Agent is not the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, Borrower shall authorize and direct Issuer to deliver to
Agent all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit and to accept
and rely upon Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit, the
application therefor or any acceptance therefor.
(b)
In connection with all trade Letters of Credit issued or caused to be issued by Issuer under this Agreement,
the Borrower hereby appoints Issuer, or its designee, as its attorney, with full power and authority if an Event of Default shall have
occurred: (i) to sign and/or endorse the Borrower’s name upon any warehouse or other receipts, and acceptances; (ii) to sign the
Borrower’s name on bills of lading; (iii) to clear Inventory through the United States of America Customs Department (“Customs”)
in the name of the Borrower or Issuer or Issuer’s designee, and to sign and deliver to Customs officials powers of attorney in the
name of the
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
62
Borrower for such purpose; and (iv) to complete in the Borrower’s name or Issuer’s, or in the name of Issuer’s designee, any order,
sale or transaction, obtain the necessary documents in connection therewith, and collect the proceeds thereof. Neither Agent, Issuer
nor their attorneys will be liable for any acts or omissions nor for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law, except for
Agent’s, Issuer’s or their respective officers’, directors’, agents’, employees’, attorneys’ or Affiliates’ gross negligence, willful
misconduct. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable as long as any Letters of Credit remain outstanding.
2.13Disbursements, Reimbursement.
(a)
Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall
be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Issuer a participation in each Letter of Credit and
each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn
Amount of such Letter of Credit (as in effect from time to time) and the amount of such drawing, respectively.
(b)
In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof,
Issuer will promptly notify Agent and Borrower. Regardless of whether Borrower shall have received such notice, Borrower shall
reimburse (such obligation to reimburse Issuer shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) Issuer prior to 12:00
Noon, on each date that an amount is paid by Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) in an amount
equal to the amount so paid by Issuer. In the event Borrower fails to reimburse Issuer for the full amount of any drawing under any
Letter of Credit by 12:00 Noon, on the Drawing Date, Issuer will promptly notify Agent and each Lender holding a Revolving
Commitment thereof, and Borrower shall be automatically deemed to have requested that a Revolving Advance maintained as a
Domestic Rate Loan be made by Lenders to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, and Lenders holding the
Revolving Commitments shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Advance (all whether or not the conditions
specified in Section 8.2 are then satisfied or the Revolving Commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have
been terminated for any reason) as provided for in Section 2.13(c) immediately below. Any notice given by Issuer pursuant to this
Section 2.13(b) may be oral if promptly confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such a confirmation shall not affect the
conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(c)
Each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.13(b) make
available to Issuer through Agent at the Payment Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Revolving
Commitment Percentage (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.21) of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the
participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.13(d)) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic
Rate Loan to Borrower in that amount. If any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment so notified fails to make available to Agent,
for the benefit of Issuer, the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such amount by 2:00 p.m. on the
Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on
which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Effective Federal Funds Rate during the first three (3)
days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Advances maintained as a
Domestic Rate Loan on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. Agent and Issuer
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
63
will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of Agent or Issuer to give any such notice on the
Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment to effect such payment on such date shall
not relieve such Lender from its obligations under this Section 2.13(c), provided that such Lender shall not be obligated to pay
interest as provided in Section 2.13(c)(i) and (ii) until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from Agent or Issuer of a
drawing.
(d)
With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into a Revolving Advance maintained as a
Domestic Rate Loan to Borrower in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.13(b), because of Loan Parties’ failure to satisfy
the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 (other than any notice requirements) or for any other reason, Borrower shall be deemed to have
incurred from Agent a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit
Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to a
Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan. Each applicable Lender’s payment to Agent pursuant to Section 2.13(c)
shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a “Participation
Advance” from such Lender in satisfaction of its Participation Commitment in respect of the applicable Letter of Credit under this
Section 2.13.
(e)
Each applicable Lender’s Participation Commitment in respect of the Letters of Credit shall continue until
the last to occur of any of the following events: (x) Issuer ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit
hereunder; (y) no Letter of Credit issued or created hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled; and (z) all Persons (other than
Borrower) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.
2.14Repayment of Participation Advances.
(a)
Upon (and only upon) receipt by Agent for the account of Issuer of immediately available funds from
Borrower (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by Issuer or Agent under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender
has made a Participation Advance to Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by Issuer or Agent under such a
Letter of Credit, Agent will pay to each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, in the same funds as those received by Agent, the
amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds, except Agent shall retain the amount of the Revolving
Commitment Percentage of such funds of any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that did not make a Participation Advance in
respect of such payment by Agent (and, to the extent that any of the other Lender(s) holding the Revolving Commitment have funded
any portion such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.21, Agent will pay over
to such Non-Defaulting Lenders a pro rata portion of the funds so withheld from such Defaulting Lender).
(b)
If Issuer or Agent is required at any time to return to the Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator,
custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Borrower to Issuer or Agent
pursuant to Section 2.14(a) in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each applicable
Lender shall, on demand of Agent, forthwith return to Issuer or Agent the amount of its
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
64
Revolving Commitment Percentage of any amounts so returned by Issuer or Agent plus interest at the Effective Federal Funds Rate.
2.15Documentation. The Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Credit Application and by Issuer’s
interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of the Borrower and by Issuer’s written regulations and customary practices
relating to letters of credit, though Issuer’s interpretations may be different from the Borrower’s own. In the event of a conflict
between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in
the case of gross negligence or its officers’, directors’, agents’ employees’, attorneys’ or Affiliates’ willful misconduct, bad faith or
gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), Issuer shall not be liable
for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following the Borrower’s instructions or those
contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.
2.16Determination to Honor Drawing Request. Except as required by Applicable Law, in determining whether to honor any
request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Issuer shall be responsible only to determine that the
documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their
face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of
Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.
2.17Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. The obligation of each Lender holding a Revolving
Commitment in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Advances or Participation Advances as a result of a drawing
under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of Borrower to reimburse Issuer upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.17 under all
circumstances, including the following circumstances:
(i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or the Borrower, as
the case may be, may have against Issuer, Agent, the Borrower or Lender, as the case may be, or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever;
(ii) the failure of the Borrower or any other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter of Credit
Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Advance, it being acknowledged that such
conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of Lenders to make Participation
Advances under Section 2.14;
(iii)any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;
(iv)any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by the Borrower, Agent, Issuer or any Lender
against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, cross-claim, defense or
other right which the Borrower, Agent, Issuer or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or
any transferee of any Letter of Credit or assignee of the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee or assignee
may be acting), Issuer, Agent or any Lender or
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
65
any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction
(including any underlying transaction between the Borrower and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);
(v) the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any signature or
endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand,
instrument, certificate or other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in
connection with any Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provision of services relating to a Letter of Credit, in each
case even if Issuer or any of Issuer’s Affiliates has been notified thereof;
(vi)payment by Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or
other document which is forged or does not fully comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit (provided that the foregoing shall
not excuse Issuer from any obligation under the terms of any applicable Letter of Credit to require the presentation of documents that

2.18Liability for Acts and Omissions.
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
66
(a)
As between Borrower and Issuer, Swing Loan Lender, Agent and Lenders, the Borrower assumes all risks of
the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance
and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuer shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or
legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit,
even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if Issuer or any
of its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part,
which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any
other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon
such Letter of Credit or any other claim of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or
any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions,
interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, telex or otherwise, whether or not they
be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document
required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the
beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences
arising from causes beyond the control of Issuer, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or
prevent the vesting of, any of Issuer’s rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve Issuer from liability
for Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable
judgment) in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall
Issuer or Issuer’s Affiliates be liable to the Borrower for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special
damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any
property relating to a Letter of Credit.
(b)
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Issuer and each of its Affiliates: (i) may rely on any oral or
other communication believed in good faith by Issuer or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the
applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to
comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a
Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or
otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with
any interest paid by Issuer or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising
negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being
delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way
with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or
practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on Issuer or its Affiliate in
any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a
steamship agent or carrier or any document or instrument of like import (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with
any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order,
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
67
notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way
with such Letter of Credit.
(c)
In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken
or omitted by Issuer under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered
thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), shall not put Issuer under any resulting liability to the Borrower, Agent
or any Lender.
2.19Mandatory Prepayments.
(a)
[Reserved].
(b)
[Reserved].
(c)
In the event of any issuance or other incurrence of Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) by Loan
Parties, Loan Parties shall, no later than three (3) Business Days after the receipt by Loan Parties of the cash proceeds from any such
issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness, repay the Advances in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100.00%) of such cash
proceeds in the case of such incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness. Such repayments will be applied to the remaining Advances
(including cash collateralization of all Obligations relating to any outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3.2(b), provided however that if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such repayments shall be
applied to cash collateralize any Obligations related to outstanding Letters of Credit last) in such order as Agent may determine
subject to Borrower’s ability to reborrow Revolving Advances in accordance with the terms hereof.
(d)
[Reserved].
(e)
All proceeds received by Loan Parties or Agent (i) under any insurance policy on account of damage or
destruction of any assets or property of any Loan Parties, or (ii) as a result of any taking or condemnation of any assets or property
shall be applied in accordance with Section 6.6.
2.20Use of Proceeds.
(a)
The Borrower shall apply the proceeds of Advances to (i) pay fees and expenses relating to this transaction,
(ii) repay in full the Term Loans outstanding under the Second A&R Credit Agreement, (iii) finance the consideration to be paid in
connection with any Permitted Acquisition, (iv) finance other Permitted Investments; (v) provide for its working capital needs and
other general corporate purposes and reimburse drawings under Letters of Credit, (vi) fund Capital Expenditures, (vii) repurchase
Equity Interests of Innovex from certain holders thereof on and after the Closing Date (the “Stock Repurchases”); provided the
Transaction Conditions are satisfied and (viii) finance Permitted Dividends; provided that the Transaction Conditions are satisfied.
(b)
Without limiting the generality of Section 2.20(a) above, no Loan Party nor any other Person which may in
the future become party to this Agreement or the Other Documents
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
68
as a Loan Party, intends to use nor shall they intentionally or knowingly use any portion of the proceeds of the Advances, directly or
indirectly, for any purpose in violation of Applicable Law.
2.21Defaulting Lender.
(a)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender is a Defaulting Lender,
all rights and obligations hereunder of such Defaulting Lender and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the
express provisions of this Section 2.21 so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(b)
Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Section 2.21, Revolving Advances shall be made pro rata
from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective Revolving Commitment
Percentages, and no Revolving Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any pro rata share of any Revolving Advances required to
be advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of any Lender being a Defaulting Lender. Amounts received in respect of
principal of any type of Revolving Advances shall be applied to reduce such type of Revolving Advances of each Lender (other than
any Defaulting Lender) holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with their Revolving Commitment Percentages; provided,
that, Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Agent for Defaulting Lender’s benefit,
nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees).
Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend
to a Borrower the amount of such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender.
(i) Fees pursuant to Section 3.3 shall cease to accrue in favor of such Defaulting Lender.
(ii) If any Swing Loans are outstanding or any Letters of Credit (or drawings under any Letter of Credit for
which Issuer has not been reimbursed) are outstanding or exist at the time any such Lender holding a Revolving Commitment
becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:
(A) Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the outstanding Swing Loans and of the
Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders holding
Revolving Commitments in proportion to the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of such Non-Defaulting Lenders to the
extent (but only to the extent) that (x) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate sum of outstanding Revolving Advances made
by any such Non-Defaulting Lender holding a Revolving Commitment plus such Lender’s reallocated Participation Commitment in
the outstanding Swing Loans plus such Lender’s reallocated Participation Commitment in the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount
of all outstanding Letters of Credit to exceed the Revolving Commitment Amount of any such Non-Defaulting Lender, and (y) no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time;
(B) if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected,
Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by Agent (x) first, prepay any outstanding Swing Loans that cannot be
reallocated, and (y) second, cash
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
69
collateralize for the benefit of Issuer, Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment
in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A)
above) in accordance with Section 3.2(b) for so long as such Obligations are outstanding;
(C) if Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Participation
Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (B) above, Borrower shall not be required
to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving
Commitment Percentage of Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit during the period such Defaulting Lender’s
Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit are cash collateralized;
(D) if Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all
Letters of Credit is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the fees payable to Lenders holding Revolving Commitments
pursuant to Section 3.2(a) shall be adjusted and reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments in
accordance with such reallocation; and
(E) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum
Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) above, then,
without prejudice to any rights or remedies of Issuer or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section
3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters
of Credit shall be payable to the Issuer (and not to such Defaulting Lender) until (and then only to the extent that) such Participation
Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and
(iii)so long as any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is a Defaulting Lender, Swing Loan Lender
shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless
such Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as applicable, is satisfied that the related exposure and Defaulting Lender’s Participation
Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit and all Swing Loans (after giving effect to any such
issuance, amendment, increase or funding) will be fully allocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments
and/or cash collateral for such Letters of Credit will be provided by Borrower in accordance with clause (A) and (B) above, and
participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among
Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(b)(iii)(A) above (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate
therein).
(c)
A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to
or vote on any matters relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents, and all amendments, waivers and other modifications of
this Agreement and the Other Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition of
“Required Lenders”, a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a Lender, to have any outstanding Advances or a Revolving
Commitment Percentage, provided, that this clause (c) shall
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
70
not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (i) or (ii)
of Section 16.2(b).
(d)
Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.21, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender
(including the obligation to indemnify Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.21 shall
be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter such
obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which the
Borrower, Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender
hereunder.
(e)
In the event that Agent, Borrower, Swing Loan Lender and Issuer agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender
has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then Agent will so notify the parties hereto,
and, if such cured Defaulting Lender is a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, then Participation Commitments of Lenders
holding Revolving Commitments (including such cured Defaulting Lender) of the Swing Loans and Maximum Undrawn Amount of
all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and on such
date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Advances of the other Lenders as Agent shall determine may be
necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Advances in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage.
(f)
If Swing Loan Lender or Issuer has a good faith belief that any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment has
defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, Swing
Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of
Credit, unless Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with Borrower or such Lender,
satisfactory to Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.
2.22Payment of Obligations. Agent may charge to Borrower’s Account as a Revolving Advance or, at the discretion of
Swing Loan Lender, as a Swing Loan (i) all payments with respect to any of the Obligations required hereunder or under any Other
Document (including without limitation principal payments, payments of interest, payments of Letter of Credit Fees and all other fees
provided for hereunder and payments under Sections 17.5 and 17.9) as and when each such payment shall become due and payable
(whether as regularly scheduled, upon or after acceleration, upon maturity or otherwise), (ii) without limiting the generality of the
foregoing clause (i), (a) all amounts expended by Agent or any Lender pursuant to Sections 4.2 or 4.3 and (b) all expenses which
Agent incurs in connection with the forwarding of Advance proceeds and the establishment and maintenance of any Controlled
Accounts or Depository Accounts as provided for in Section 4.8(g), and (iii) any sums expended by Agent or any Lender due to any
Loan Party’s failure to perform or comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document including the
Borrower’s obligations under Sections 3.3, 3.4, 4.2, 4.4, 4.7, 6.4, 6.6, 6.7 and 6.8, and all amounts so charged shall be added to the
Obligations and shall be secured by the Collateral. To the extent Revolving Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders in
respect of any such amounts so charged, all such amounts so charged shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing
to Agent and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
71
remedies of a Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.
2.23Increase in Maximum Revolving Advance Amount.
(a)
Borrower may, at any time prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, request that the Maximum
Revolving Advance Amount be increased by (1) one or more of the current Lenders increasing their Revolving Commitment Amount
(any current Lender which elects to increase its Revolving Commitment Amount shall be referred to as an “Increasing Lender”) or
(2) one or more new lenders (each a “New Lender”) joining this Agreement and providing a Revolving Commitment Amount
hereunder, subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i) No current Lender shall be obligated to increase its Revolving Commitment Amount and any increase
in the Revolving Commitment Amount by any current Lender shall be in the sole discretion of such current Lender;
(ii) Borrower may not request the addition of a New Lender unless (and then only to the extent that) there
is insufficient participation on behalf of the existing Lenders in the increased Revolving Commitments being requested by Borrower;
(iii)There shall exist no Event of Default or Default on the effective date of such increase after giving
effect to such increase;
(iv)After giving effect to such increase, the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount shall not exceed
$250,000,000;
(v) Borrower may not request an increase in the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount under this Section
2.23 more than three (3) times during the Term, and no single such increase in the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount shall be
for an amount less than $10,000,000;
(vi)Borrower shall deliver to Agent on or before the effective date of such increase the following
documents in form and substance satisfactory to Agent: (1) certifications of their corporate secretaries with attached resolutions
certifying that the increase in the Revolving Commitment Amounts has been approved by the Loan Parties, (2) certificate dated as of
the effective date of such increase certifying that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and certifying
that the representations and warranties made by each Loan Party herein and in the Other Documents are true and complete in all
respects with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent any such representation or warranty
expressly relates only to any earlier and/or specified date), (3) such other agreements, instruments and information (including
supplements or modifications to this Agreement and/or the Other Documents executed by Loan Parties) as Agent reasonably deems
necessary in order to document the increase to the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount and to protect, preserve and continue the
perfection and priority of the liens, security interests, rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders hereunder and under the Other
Documents in light of such increase, and (4) an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to Agent which shall cover
such matters related to
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
72
such increase as Agent may reasonably require and each Loan Party hereby authorizes and directs such counsel to deliver such
opinions to Agent and Lenders;
(vii)Borrower shall execute and deliver (1) to each Increasing Lender a replacement Note reflecting the
new amount of such Increasing Lender’s Revolving Commitment Amount after giving effect to the increase (and the prior Note
issued to such Increasing Lender shall be deemed to be cancelled) and (2) to each New Lender a Note reflecting the amount of such
New Lender’s Revolving Commitment Amount;
(viii)Any New Lender shall be subject to the approval of Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and
Issuer;
(ix)Each Increasing Lender shall confirm its agreement to increase its Revolving Commitment Amount
pursuant to an acknowledgement in a form acceptable to Agent, signed by it and each Loan Party and delivered to Agent at least five
(5) days before the effective date of such increase; and
(x) Each New Lender shall execute a lender joinder in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.23 pursuant to
which such New Lender shall join and become a party to this Agreement and the Other Documents with a Revolving Commitment
Amount as set forth in such lender joinder.
(b)
On the effective date of such increase, (i) Borrower shall repay all Revolving Advances then outstanding,
subject to Borrower’s obligations under Sections 3.7, 3.9, or 3.10; provided that subject to the other conditions of this Agreement, the
Borrower may request new Revolving Advances on such date and (ii) the Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding a
Revolving Commitment (including each Increasing Lender and/or New Lender) shall be recalculated such that each such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment Percentage is equal to (x) the Revolving Commitment Amount of such Lender divided by (y) the aggregate
of the Revolving Commitment Amounts of all Lenders. Each Lender shall participate in any new Revolving Advances made on or
after such date in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage after giving effect to the increase in the Maximum
Revolving Advance Amount and recalculation of the Revolving Commitment Percentages contemplated by this Section 2.23.
(c)
On the effective date of such increase, each Increasing Lender shall be deemed to have purchased an
additional/increased participation in, and each New Lender will be deemed to have purchased a new participation in, each then
outstanding Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder and each then outstanding Swing Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment Percentage (as calculated pursuant to Section 2.23(b) above) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of each
such Letter of Credit (as in effect from time to time) and the amount of each drawing and of each such Swing Loan, respectively. As
necessary to effectuate the foregoing, each existing Lender holding a Revolving Commitment Percentage that is not an Increasing
Lender shall be deemed to have sold to each applicable Increasing Lender and/or New Lender, as necessary, a portion of such
existing Lender’s participations in such outstanding Letters of Credit and drawings and such outstanding Swing Loans such that, after
giving effect to all such purchases and sales, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment (including each Increasing Lender
and/or New Lender) shall hold a participation in all Letters of Credit (and drawings
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
73
thereunder) and all Swing Loans in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (as calculated pursuant to
Section 2.23(b) above).
(d)
On the effective date of such increase, Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Agent and by
each Increasing Lender and New Lender in connection with the negotiations regarding, and the preparation, negotiation, execution
and delivery of all agreements and instruments executed and delivered by any of Agent, Borrower and/or Increasing Lenders and
New Lenders in connection with, such increase (including all fees for any supplemental or additional public filings of any Other
Documents necessary to protect, preserve and continue the perfection and priority of the liens, security interests, rights and remedies
of Agent and Lenders hereunder and under the Other Documents in light of such increase).
3.
INTEREST AND FEES.
3.1Interest. Interest on Advances shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each month with respect to
Domestic Rate Loans and, with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans (a) with an Interest Period of one (1) or three (3) months (or with
respect to each Term SOFR Rate Loan advanced to the Borrower on the Closing Date), at the end of each Interest Period and (b) with
an Interest Period of six (6) months, at the end of each three (3) month period during such Interest Period, provided further that all
accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable at the end of the Term. Interest charges shall be computed on the actual
principal amount of Advances outstanding during the month at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to Revolving Advances, the
applicable Revolving Interest Rate and (ii) with respect to Swing Loans, the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans (as
applicable, the “Contract Rate”). Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, any Obligations other than the Advances
that are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans, subject to the provision of
the final sentence of this Section 3.1 regarding the Default Rate. Whenever, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Alternate
Base Rate is increased or decreased, the applicable Contract Rate for Domestic Rate Loans shall be similarly changed without notice
or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Alternate Base Rate during the time such change or
changes remain in effect. The Term SOFR Rate shall be adjusted with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans without notice or demand
of any kind on the effective date of any change in the SOFR Reserve Percentage as of such effective date. Upon and after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders
(or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of
Default without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), (i) the Obligations other than Term SOFR Rate Loans shall
bear interest at (A) in the case of Advances, the applicable Contract Rate and (B) in the case of Obligations that are not Advances, the
Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans, plus, in each case, two percent (2.00%) per annum and (ii) Term SOFR Rate
Loans shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Term SOFR Rate Loans plus two percent (2.00%) per annum (as
applicable, the “Default Rate”).
3.2Letter of Credit Fees.
(a)
Borrower shall pay (x) to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders holding Revolving Commitments, fees for
each Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or
termination, equal to the daily face
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
74
amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable Margin, such fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day
year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the
last day of the Term (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall the fee under this clause (x) in respect of any Letter of
Credit be less than the Agent's minimum fee in effect from time to time), and (y) to Issuer, a fronting fee of one quarter of one
percent (0.25%) per annum times the aggregate daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit for the period from and
excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, to be payable quarterly in arrears on the
first day of each calendar quarter and on the last day of the Term (all of the foregoing fees, the “Letter of Credit Fees”). In addition,
Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Issuer, any and all administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation
charges with respect to Letters of Credit and all fees and expenses as agreed upon by Issuer and the Borrower in connection with any
Letter of Credit, including in connection with the opening, amendment or renewal of any such Letter of Credit and any acceptances
created thereunder, all such charges, fees and expenses, if any, to be payable on demand. All such charges shall be deemed earned in
full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or pro-ration upon the termination of
this Agreement for any reason. Any such charge in effect at the time of a particular transaction shall be the charge for that
transaction, notwithstanding any subsequent change in Issuer’s prevailing charges for that type of transaction. Upon and after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders
(or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of
Default without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), the Letter of Credit Fees described in clause (x) of this
Section 3.2(a) shall be increased by an additional two percent (2.0%) per annum (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall not be in
addition to the Default Rate).
(b)
On demand by Agent during the continuation of an Event of Default, Loan Parties will cause cash to be
deposited and maintained in an account with Agent, as cash collateral, in an amount equal to one hundred and five percent (105%) of
the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, and each Loan Party hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent, in its
discretion, on such Loan Party’s behalf and in such Loan Party’s name, to open such an account and to make and maintain deposits
therein, or in an account opened by such Loan Party, in the amounts required to be made by such Loan Party, out of the proceeds of
Receivables or other Collateral or out of any other funds of such Loan Party coming into any Lender’s possession at any time. Agent
may, in its discretion, invest such cash collateral (less applicable reserves) in such short-term money-market items as to which Agent
and such Loan Party mutually agree (or, in the absence of such agreement, as Agent may reasonably select) and the net return on
such investments shall be credited to such account and constitute additional cash collateral, or Agent may (notwithstanding the
foregoing) establish the account provided for under this Section 3.2(b) as a non-interest bearing account and in such case Agent shall
have no obligation (and Borrower hereby waives any claim) under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or under any other
Applicable Law to pay interest on such cash collateral being held by Agent. No Loan Party may withdraw amounts credited to any
such account except upon the occurrence of all of the following: (x) payment and performance in full of all Obligations (other than
inchoate indemnity obligations and Cash Management Products and Services); (y) expiration of all Letters of Credit; and (z)
termination of this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that if such account secures more than one outstanding Letter of
Credit, funds shall be released from such account on a pro-rata basis as individual Letters of Credit expire, are cancelled or are
backstopped). Borrower hereby assigns,
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
75
pledges and grants to Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of Issuer, Lenders and each other Secured Party, a continuing
security interest in and to and Lien on any such cash collateral and any right, title and interest of Borrower in any deposit account,
securities account or investment account into which such cash collateral may be deposited from time to time to secure the
Obligations, specifically including all Obligations with respect to any Letters of Credit. Borrower agrees that upon the coming due of
any Reimbursement Obligations (or any other Obligations, including Obligations for Letter of Credit Fees) with respect to the Letters
of Credit, Agent may use such cash collateral to pay and satisfy such Obligations.
3.3Facility Fee. If, for any calendar quarter during the Term, the daily unpaid balance of the sum of Revolving Advances
plus Swing Loans plus the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (the “Usage Amount”) for each day of
such calendar quarter does not equal the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, then Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the ratable
benefit of Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments based on their Revolving Commitment Percentages, a fee at a rate equal to
one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum on the amount by which the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount on such day
exceeds the Usage Amount (the “Facility Fee”). Such Facility Fee shall be payable to Agent in arrears on the first Business Day of
each calendar quarter with respect to each day in the previous calendar quarter.
3.4Fee Letter.
(a)
Borrower shall pay the amounts required to be paid in any Fee Letter in the manner and at the times required
by any such Fee Letter.
(b)
All of the documented fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any appraisals conducted pursuant to Section 4.7
shall be paid for when due, in accordance with Section 9.18, in full and without deduction, off-set or counterclaim by Loan Parties.
3.5Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and
for the actual number of days elapsed. If any payment to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business
Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the
applicable Contract Rate during such extension.
3.6Maximum Charges. In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate
permissible under Applicable Law. In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the
highest rate permitted under Applicable Law: (i) the interest rates hereunder will be reduced to the maximum rate permitted under
Applicable Law; (ii) such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Loan Parties; and (iii) if the
then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lenders shall promptly refund such excess
amount to Loan Parties and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.
3.7Increased Costs. In the event that after the Closing Date any Applicable Law or any Change in Law or compliance by any
Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.7, the term “Lender” shall include Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Issuer or Lender and any
corporation or bank controlling Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer and the office or branch where Agent, Swing Loan
Lender, any Lender or Issuer (as so defined) makes or maintains any Term SOFR
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
76
Rate Loans) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other financial, monetary
or other authority, shall:
(a)
subject Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer to any Tax with respect to this Agreement, any
Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Term SOFR Rate Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to
Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by
Section 3.10 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such
Lender or the Issuer);
(b)
impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, special deposit, compulsory
loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or
other credit extended by, any office of Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any Lender, including pursuant to Regulation D of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or
(c)
impose on Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer any other condition, loss or expense (other than
Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Other Document or any Advance made by any Lender, or any Letter of Credit or participation
therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer of making,
converting to, continuing, renewing or maintaining its Advances hereunder by an amount that Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such
Lender or Issuer deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect
of any of the Advances by an amount that Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer deems to be material, then, in any case
Borrower shall promptly pay Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer, upon its demand, such additional amount as will
compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be,
provided that the foregoing shall not apply to increased costs which are reflected in the Term SOFR Rate, as the case may be. Agent,
Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Borrower and such
certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
3.8Alternate Rate of Interest.
(a)
Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that Agent or any Lender shall have determined that:
(i) reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Term SOFR Rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.2
for any Interest Period; or
(ii) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant maturity are not available, with respect to
an outstanding Term SOFR Rate Loan, a proposed Term SOFR Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion of a Domestic Rate Loan into a
Term SOFR Rate Loan; or
(iii)the making, maintenance or funding of any Term SOFR Rate Loan has been made impracticable or
unlawful by compliance by Agent or such Lender in good faith with any Applicable Law or any interpretation or application thereof
by any Governmental Body
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
77
or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Body (whether or not having the force of law); or
(iv)the Term SOFR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the funding,
establishment or maintenance of any Term SOFR Rate Loan during the applicable Interest Period, and Lenders have provided notice
of such determination to Agent,
then Agent shall give Borrower prompt written or telephonic notice of such determination. If such notice is given prior to a
Benchmark Replacement Date (as defined below), (i) any such requested Term SOFR Rate Loan shall be made as a Domestic Rate
Loan, unless Borrower shall notify Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing,
that its request for such borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of Term SOFR Rate Loan, (ii) any Domestic Rate
Loan or Term SOFR Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of Term SOFR Rate Loan shall be continued
as or converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Borrower shall notify Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to
the proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an unaffected type of Term SOFR Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding affected
Term SOFR Rate Loans shall be converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Borrower shall notify Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. two
(2) Business Days prior to the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected Term SOFR Rate
Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of Term SOFR Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest
Period for such affected Term SOFR Rate Loans (or sooner, if any Lender cannot continue to lawfully maintain such affected Term
SOFR Rate Loan). Until such notice has been withdrawn, Lenders shall have no obligation to make an affected type of Term SOFR
Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected Term SOFR Rate Loans and no Borrower shall have the right to convert a Domestic Rate
Loan or an unaffected type of Term SOFR Rate Loan into an affected type of Term SOFR Rate Loan.
(b)
Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other Document
(and any agreement executed in connection with an Interest Rate Hedge shall be deemed not to be an “Other Document” for purposes
of this Section 3.8(b)), if a Benchmark Transition Event and related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting
of the then-current Benchmark, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of
“Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for
all purposes hereunder and under any Other Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings
without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any Other Document and (B) if a
Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such
Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any
Other Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such
Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this
Agreement or any Other Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such
Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
78
(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or
implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Other Documents, any amendments implementing such Conforming
Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any Other Document.
(iii)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower
and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in
connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Agent will notify the
Borrower of, (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (iv) below and (y) the
commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or,
if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.8(b), including any determination with respect to a tenor,
rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from
taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole
discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any Other Document except, in each case, as expressly
required pursuant to this Section 3.8(b).
(iv)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any of
the Other Documents, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-
current Benchmark is a term rate or based on a term rate and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or
other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the
regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information
announcing that any tenor of such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of
“Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable
or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a
screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an
announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may
modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to
reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a
Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for an Advance bearing interest based on the Term
SOFR Rate, conversion to or continuation of Advances bearing interest based on the Term SOFR Rate to be made, converted or
continued at the then-current Benchmark during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed
to have converted any such request into a request for a Domestic Rate Loan or conversion to a Domestic Rate Loan. During any
Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the
component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon such then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable,
will not be used in any determination thereof
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
79
(vi)Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Section 3.8(b):
“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable if
such Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the
length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor of
such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to paragraph (iv) of this Section 3.8(b).
“Benchmark” means, initially, SOFR and the Term SOFR Reference Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event
has occurred with respect to a then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the
extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to this Section 3.8(b). Any reference to
“Benchmark” shall include, as applicable, the published component used in the calculation thereof.
“Benchmark Replacement” means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the first alternative set forth in the
order below that can be determined by the Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:
(1) Daily Simple SOFR; or
(2) the sum of: (A) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Agent and the Borrower, giving due
consideration to (x) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for
determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (y) any evolving or then-prevailing market
convention, for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-
denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (B) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;
provided that, if the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (2) above would be less than the Floor, the
Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the Other Documents; provided
further that any Benchmark Replacement shall be administratively feasible as determined by the Agent in its sole discretion.
“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an
Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment (which
may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (A)
any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the
replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B)
any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining
such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for Dollar-
denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time.
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
80
“Benchmark Replacement Date” means a date and time determined by the Agent, which date shall be no later than the
earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
(1)
in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (A) the date of
the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (B) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark
(or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide such Benchmark (or such
component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such
component thereof); or
(2)
in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date determined by the
Agent, which date shall promptly follow the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.
For the avoidance of doubt, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be
deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event
or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in
the calculation thereof).
“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-
current Benchmark:
(1)
a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or
the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide such
Benchmark (or component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, all Available Tenors of such
Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication,
there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component
thereof);
(2)
a public statement or publication of information by a Governmental Body having jurisdiction over the
Agent, the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation
thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the
administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such
Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such
Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will
cease to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, all
Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such
statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide such Benchmark (or such component
thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate or based on a term rate, any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component
thereof); or
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
81
(3)
a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such
Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or a Governmental Body having jurisdiction over the Agent
announcing that such Benchmark (or component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, all Available
Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.
For the avoidance of doubt, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be
deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has
occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation
thereof).
“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement
Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder
and under any Other Document in accordance with this Section 3.8(b) and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has
replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Other Document in accordance with this Section
3.8(b).
“Floor” means the benchmark rate floor, if any, provided in this Agreement initially (as of the execution of this Agreement,
the modification, amendment or renewal of this Agreement or otherwise) with respect to the Term SOFR Rate or, if no floor is
specified, zero.
“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States and/or
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System of the United States and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or any successor thereto.
“Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement excluding the related Benchmark
Replacement Adjustment.
3.9Capital Adequacy.
(a)
In the event that Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender shall have determined that any Applicable Law or
guideline regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, or any Change in Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof
by any Governmental Body, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.9, the term “Lender” shall include
Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender
and the office or branch where Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any Term SOFR Rate
Loans) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Agent, Swing Loan
Lender or any Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder (including the making of any Swing Loans) to a level
below that which Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance
(taking into consideration Agent’s, Swing Loan Lender’s
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
82
and each Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by Agent, Swing Loan Lender or
any Lender to be material, then, from time to time, Borrower shall pay upon demand to Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender for such reduction. In determining
such amount or amounts, Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The
protection of this Section 3.9 shall be available to Agent, Swing Loan Lender and each Lender regardless of any possible contention
of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the Applicable Law, rule, regulation, guideline or condition.
(b)
A certificate of Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be
necessary to compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender with respect to Section 3.9(a) when delivered to Borrower shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.
3.10Taxes.
(a)
Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligations hereunder or under any Other Document shall be
made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, except as required by
Applicable Law. If Loan Parties or Agent, as the case may be, shall be required by Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith
discretion of such applicable withholding agent) to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments,
then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including
deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Lender, Issuer or
Participant, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings
been made, (ii) Loan Parties or Agent, as the case may be, shall make such deductions and withholdings and (iii) Loan Parties or
Agent, as the case may be, shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance with
Applicable Law.
(b)
Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.10(a) above and without duplication, Loan Parties shall timely
pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance with Applicable Law.
(c)
Each Loan Party shall indemnify Agent, Swing Loan Lender, each Lender, Issuer and any Participant, within
ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by Agent, Swing Loan
Lender, such Lender, Issuer, or such Participant, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Body. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the calculation of the
amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by any Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Participant, or Issuer (with a copy
to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of Swing Loan Lender, a Lender or Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.
(d)
As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party to a
Governmental Body, Borrower shall deliver to Agent the original or
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
83
a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such
payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.
(e)
(i)
Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the
jurisdiction in which any Loan Party is resident for Tax purposes, or under any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with
respect to payments hereunder or under any Other Document shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Agent), at the time or times
prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In
addition, any Lender, if requested by Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or
reasonably requested by the Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject
to withholding, backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Loan Party is resident for U.S.
federal income tax purposes in the United States of America, any Foreign Lender (or other Lender) shall deliver to Borrower and
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender (or other
Lender) becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower or Agent, but only if
such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
(A)
two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor form) or
Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form), as applicable, claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax
treaty to which the United States of America is a party,
(B)
two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form),

“bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of
Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign
corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y)
two duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor form) or Form W-8BEN-E
(or any successor forms), as applicable,
(D)
to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, properly completed and executed
originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI (or any
successor form), IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor
form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate reasonably acceptable to Agent and Borrower, IRS Form W-9
(or any successor form),
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
84
and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the
Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are
claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate reasonably acceptable to Agent and Borrower on behalf of each such direct and indirect
partner,
(E)
any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a
reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax duly completed together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower to determine the
withholding or deduction required to be made, or
(F)
to the extent that any Lender is not a Foreign Lender, such Lender shall submit to Agent
two (2) originals of an IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from
U.S. federal backup withholding tax.
(iii) For purposes of this Section 3.10(e), the term “Lender” includes any Swing Loan Lender and Issuer.
(f)
If a payment made to a Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Participant, Issuer, or Agent under this Agreement or
any Other Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Person fails to comply with the
applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable),
such Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Participant, Issuer, or Agent shall deliver to the Agent (in the case of a Swing Loan Lender,
Lender, Participant or Issuer) and Borrower (A) such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by
Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code), and (B) other documentation reasonably requested by Agent or any Loan Party sufficient for
Agent and Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Swing Loan Lender, Lender,
Participant, Issuer, or Agent has complied with such applicable reporting requirements or to determine the amount to deduct and
withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (f), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA
after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Participant, Issuer, and Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously
delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify
Borrower and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)
If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.10 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to
this Section 3.10), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
(including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Body
with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
85
indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Body.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount
to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable
net after-Taxes position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Taxes subject to indemnification and giving rise to such
refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect
to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax
returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h)
Agent Tax Status. In the event that any Loan Party is resident for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the
United States of America, on or before the date on which the Agent (and any successor or replacement Agent) becomes Agent under
this Agreement, such Agent shall deliver to Loan Party two copies of (a) if Agent is a U.S. Person, with respect to amounts received
on its own account, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding
or (b) if Agent is not a U.S. Person, with respect to amounts received on its own account, the appropriate Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8, and with respect to amounts received on account of any Lender, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY. Agent agrees
that if any form it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.10(h) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it
shall update such form or promptly notify Loan Party in writing of its legal inability to do so.
3.11Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) (a) makes demand upon Borrower for (or if Borrower is
otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to Section 3.7, 3.9 or 3.10 (b) is unable to make or maintain Term SOFR Rate Loans as
a result of a condition described in Section 2.2(h), (c) is a Defaulting Lender, or (d) denies any consent requested by the Agent
pursuant to Section 16.2(b), Borrower may, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such demand, notice (or the occurrence of such
other event causing Borrower to be required to pay such compensation or causing Section 2.2(h) to be applicable), or such Lender
becoming a Defaulting Lender or denial of a request by Agent pursuant to Section 16.2(b), as the case may be, by notice in writing to
the Agent and such Affected Lender (i) request the Affected Lender to cooperate with Borrower in obtaining a replacement Lender

under any obligation to do so; or (iii) propose a Replacement Lender subject to approval by Agent in its good faith business
judgment. If any satisfactory Replacement Lender shall be obtained, and/or if any one or more of the non-Affected Lenders shall

Lender shall assign, in accordance with Section 16.3, all of its Advances and its Revolving Commitment Percentage and other rights
and obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents to such Replacement Lender or non-Affected Lenders, as the case
may be, in exchange for payment of the principal amount so assigned and all interest and fees accrued on the amount so assigned,
plus all other Obligations then due and payable to the Affected Lender.

4.1Security Interest in the Collateral. To secure the prompt payment and performance to Agent, Issuer and each Lender (and
each other holder of any Obligations) of the Obligations, each Loan Party hereby assigns, pledges and grants to Agent for its benefit
and for the ratable benefit of each Lender, Issuer and each other Secured Party, a continuing security interest in and to and Lien on all
of its Collateral, whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired or arising and wheresoever located. Each Loan Party
shall mark its books and records as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence, protect and perfect Agent’s security interest and
shall cause its financial statements to reflect such security interest. Each Loan Party shall provide Agent with written notice of all
commercial tort claims in an amount greater than $2,000,000 concurrently with the delivery of the financial statements referred to in
Section 9.8 hereof that are next due, such notice to contain a brief description of the claim(s), the events out of which such claim(s)
arose and the parties against which such claims may be asserted and, if applicable in any case where legal proceedings regarding such
claim(s) have been commenced, the case title together with the applicable court and docket number. Upon delivery of each such
notice, such Loan Party shall be deemed to thereby grant to Agent a security interest and Lien in and to such commercial tort claims
described therein and all proceeds thereof. Each Loan Party shall provide Agent with written notice promptly upon becoming the
beneficiary under any letter of credit or otherwise obtaining any right, title or interest in any letter of credit rights having an undrawn
face amount in excess of $2,000,000, and at Agent’s request shall take such actions as Agent may reasonably request for the
perfection of Agent’s security interest therein.
4.2Perfection of Security Interest. Each Loan Party shall take all action that may be necessary or desirable, or that Agent
may request, so as at all times to maintain the validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of Agent’s security interest in and Lien
on the Collateral or to enable Agent to protect, exercise or enforce its rights hereunder and in the Collateral, including, but not limited
to, (i) immediately discharging all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, (ii) delivering to Agent, endorsed or accompanied by
such instruments of assignment as Agent may specify, and stamping or marking, in such manner as Agent may specify, any and all

Applicable Law on Collateral. By its signature hereto, each Loan Party hereby authorizes Agent to file against such Loan Party, one
or more financing, continuation or amendment statements pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in form and substance

and fees Agent may reasonably incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any local taxes relating thereto, shall be payable as provided
for in Section 2.22. Notwithstanding this Section 4.2 or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Loan Party or its Subsidiaries
shall be required to (and the Agent shall not) enter into any documents with respect to the Collateral that are governed by the laws of
any non-U.S. jurisdiction (other than the Innovex Canada Pledge Agreement) or take any actions relating to security interests in the
Collateral or the perfection thereof in any non-U.S. jurisdiction.

take such actions to preserve the Collateral as Agent may direct. Subject to Section 16.9, all of Agent’s expenses of preserving the
Collateral, including any expenses relating to the bonding of a custodian, shall be charged to Borrower’s Account as a Revolving
Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan and added to the Obligations.
4.4Ownership and Location of Collateral.
(a)
With respect to the Collateral, at the time the Collateral becomes subject to Agent’s security interest: (i) each
Loan Party shall be the sole owner of and fully authorized and able to sell, transfer, pledge and/or grant a first priority security
interest in each and every item of its respective Collateral to Agent; and, except for Permitted Encumbrances the Collateral shall be
free and clear of all Liens whatsoever; (ii) all signatures and endorsements of each Loan Party that appear on such documents and
agreements shall be genuine and each Loan Party shall have full capacity to execute same; and (iii) the Borrower’s Equipment and

of Inventory and the use of movement of Equipment in the Ordinary Course of Business, and dispositions of Inventory and
Equipment to the extent permitted in Section 7.1(b).
(b)
(i) Schedule 4.4(b)(i) hereto contains a correct and complete list, as of the Closing Date, of the legal names
and addresses of each warehouse at which Equipment of any Loan Party is stored; none of the receipts received by any Loan Party
from any warehouse states that the goods covered thereby are to be delivered to bearer or to the order of a named Person or to a

Date, of the legal names and addresses of each warehouse at which Inventory of any Loan Party is stored; none of the receipts
received by any Loan Party from any warehouse states that the goods covered thereby are to be delivered to bearer or to the order of a
named Person or to a named Person and such named Person’s assigns; and (iii) Schedule 4.4(b)(iii) hereto sets forth a correct and
complete list as of the Closing Date of (A) each place of business of each Loan Party identifying which properties are owned and
which are leased, together with the names and addresses of any landlords and (B) the chief executive office and registered office

(c)
Upon disposition of any Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and the Other Documents, Agent shall,
upon written request of (and at the sole cost and expense of) a Loan Party, promptly execute and deliver to such Loan Party such
UCC-3 termination or amendment statements, as applicable, and such other documentation as such Loan Party may
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
88
reasonably request to effect the release of such Collateral from the security interest and Lien granted in favor of Agent to secure the
Obligations.
4.5Defense of Agent’s and Lenders’ Interests. Until (a) payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations and (b)
termination of this Agreement, Agent’s interests in the Collateral shall continue in full force and effect. During such period no Loan
Party shall, without Agent’s prior written consent, pledge, sell (except for sales or other dispositions otherwise permitted in Section
7.1(b)), assign, transfer, create or suffer to exist a Lien upon or encumber or allow or suffer to be encumbered in any way except for
Permitted Encumbrances, any part of the Collateral. Each Loan Party shall defend Agent’s interests in the Collateral against any and
all Persons whatsoever (except with respect to Permitted Encumbrances). During the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall
have the right to take possession of the indicia of the Collateral and the Collateral in whatever physical form contained, including:
labels, stationery, documents, instruments and advertising materials. If Agent exercises this right to take possession of the Collateral,
Loan Parties shall, upon demand, assemble it in the best manner possible and make it available to Agent at a place reasonably
convenient to Agent. In addition, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to all of the
rights and remedies set forth herein and further provided by the Uniform Commercial Code or other Applicable Law. During the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Loan Party shall, and Agent may, at its option, instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders,
warehousers or others receiving or holding cash, checks, Inventory, documents or instruments in which Agent holds a security
interest to deliver same to Agent and/or subject to Agent’s order and if they shall come into any Loan Party’s possession, they, and
each of them, shall be held by such Loan Party in trust as Agent’s trustee, and such Loan Party will immediately deliver them to
Agent in their original form together with any necessary endorsement.
4.6Inspection of Premises. At all reasonable times and from time to time as often as Agent shall elect in its Permitted
Discretion, Agent shall have full access to and the right to audit, check, inspect and make abstracts and copies from the Borrower’s
books, records, audits, correspondence and all other papers relating to the Collateral and the operation of the Borrower’s business.
Agent and its agents may enter upon any premises of any Loan Party at any time during business hours after providing advanced

firms of reputable standing, satisfactory to Agent, for the purpose of appraising the then current values of Loan Parties’ Inventory.
Absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default at such time, Agent shall consult with Borrower as to the identity of
any such firm. In the event the value of the Eligible Loan Parties’ Inventory, as so determined pursuant to any such appraisal (or the
value of the Eligible Loan Parties’ Receivables, as so determined pursuant to any field examination), is less than anticipated by Agent
or Lenders, such that the Revolving Advances are in excess of such Advances permitted hereunder, then, promptly upon Agent’s
demand for same, Borrower shall make mandatory prepayments of the then outstanding Revolving Advances so as to eliminate the
excess Advances.

(a)
Each of the Receivables shall be a bona fide and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred
by the Customer therein named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the invoice relating thereto (provided immaterial or unintentional
invoice errors shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof) with respect to an absolute sale or lease and delivery of goods upon stated
terms of a Loan Party (or, for Receivables acquired pursuant to any Permitted Acquisition, the seller in connection with such
acquisition), or work, labor or services theretofore rendered by a Loan Party (or, for Receivables acquired pursuant to any Permitted
Acquisition, the seller in connection with such acquisition) as of the date each Receivable is created. Same shall be due and owing in
accordance with the Borrower’s standard terms of sale without dispute, setoff or counterclaim except as may be stated on the
accounts receivable schedules delivered by Loan Parties to Agent.
(b)
No Customer, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, as of the date each Receivable is created, is insolvent

debt reserves adequate to cover such Receivables.
(c)
Loan Parties shall instruct their Customers to deliver all remittances upon Receivables (whether paid by
check or by wire transfer of funds) to such Controlled Account(s) and/or Depository Accounts (and any associated lockboxes) as
Agent shall designate from time to time as contemplated by Section 4.8(g) or as otherwise agreed to from time to time by Agent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Loan Party directly receives any remittances upon Receivables, such Loan Party
shall, at such Loan Party’s sole cost and expense, but on Agent’s behalf and for Agent’s account, collect as Agent’s property and in
trust for Agent all amounts received on Receivables, and shall not commingle such collections with any Loan Party’s funds or use the

thereof (i) in the case of remittances paid by check, deposit all such remittances in their original form (after supplying any necessary
endorsements) and (ii) in the case of remittances paid by wire transfer of funds, transfer all such remittances, in each case, into such
applicable Controlled Accounts(s) and/or Depository Account(s). Each Loan Party shall deposit in the applicable Controlled Account

checks, drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances, cash and other evidence of Indebtedness.

Agent in its Permitted Discretion determines is necessary or appropriate, (i) Agent shall have the right to send notice of the

possession of the Collateral, or both. Agent’s actual collection expenses, including, but not limited to, stationery and postage,
telephone, facsimile, telegraph, secretarial and clerical expenses and the salaries of any collection personnel used for collection, may
be charged to Borrower’s Account and added to the Obligations.

and each Loan Party hereby waives notice of presentment, protest and non-payment of any instrument so endorsed. Each Loan Party
hereby constitutes Agent or Agent’s designee as the Borrower’s attorney with power (i) at any time (A) to endorse the Borrower’s
name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidence of payment or Collateral; (B) to sign the

financing statements or any other documents or instruments deemed necessary or appropriate by Agent to preserve, protect, or perfect
Agent’s interest in the Collateral and to file same; and (E) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Loan Party at any
post office box/lockbox maintained by Agent for Loan Parties or at any other business premises of Agent; and (ii) at any time
following the occurrence of an Event of Default: (A) to demand payment of the Receivables; (B) to enforce payment of the
Receivables by legal proceedings or otherwise; (C) to exercise all of the Borrower’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection
of the Receivables and any other Collateral; (D) to sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time of payment of, settle, adjust,
compromise, extend or renew the Receivables; (E) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect
Receivables; (F) to prepare, file and sign the Borrower’s name on a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any
Customer; (G) to prepare, file and sign the Borrower’s name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar
document in connection with the Receivables; (H) to accept the return of goods represented by any of the Receivables and (I) to do
all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement. All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved,
and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission nor for any error of judgment or mistake of
fact or of law, unless done maliciously or with gross (not mere) negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final non-appealable judgment); this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable while any of the Obligations remain unpaid.
(f)
Neither Agent nor any Lender shall, under any circumstances or in any event whatsoever, have any liability
for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the Receivables or any
instrument received in payment thereof, or for any damage resulting therefrom.
(g)
During any Dominion Period, all proceeds of Collateral shall be deposited by Loan Parties into either (i) a
lockbox account, dominion account or such other “controlled account” (“Controlled Accounts”) established at a bank or banks (each
such bank, a “Controlled Account Bank”) pursuant to an arrangement with such Controlled Account Bank as may be acceptable to
Agent in its Permitted Discretion or (ii) depository accounts (“Depository Accounts”) established at Agent for the deposit of such
proceeds. Each applicable Loan Party, Agent and each Controlled Account Bank shall enter into a deposit account control agreement
or blocked account agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Agent that is sufficient to give Agent “control” (for purposes of
Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code) over all Controlled Accounts and which allows Agent, during any Dominion
Period, to direct such Controlled Account Bank to transfer such funds so deposited on a daily basis or at other times acceptable to
Agent to Agent, either to any account maintained by Agent at said Controlled Account Bank or by wire transfer to appropriate
account(s) at Agent; provided, however, that no
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
91
such deposit account control agreement or blocked account agreement shall be required with respect to any (i) deposit accounts
containing solely Excluded Property, (ii) Legacy Dril-Quip Deposit Accounts or (iii) deposit accounts opened after the Closing Date
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that the aggregate amount maintained in all Legacy Dril-Quip Deposit
Accounts and all deposit accounts opened after the Closing Date (other than the Lender Deposit Accounts) in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement at any time does not exceed $5,000,000 (such exclusion, the “Control Agreement Exclusion”). Once opened,
the amount maintained in each Lender Deposit Account shall be at least $3,000,000. All funds deposited in such Controlled
Accounts or Depository Accounts shall immediately become subject to the security interest of Agent for its own benefit and the
ratable benefit of Issuer, Lenders and all other holders of the Obligations, and Borrower shall obtain the agreement by such
Controlled Account Bank to waive any offset rights against the funds so deposited (except for those relating to returned items and
fees and costs relating to the depository relationship). Neither Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility for such controlled
account arrangement, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any Controlled
Account Bank thereunder. Agent shall apply all funds received by it from the Controlled Accounts and/or Depository Accounts to the
satisfaction of the Obligations (including the cash collateralization of the Letters of Credit) in such order as Agent shall determine in
its sole discretion, provided that, in the absence of any Event of Default, Agent shall apply all such funds representing collection of
Receivables first to the prepayment of the principal amount of the Swing Loans, if any, and then to the Revolving Advances.
Borrower shall notify each Customer of any Loan Party to send all future payments owed to a Loan Party by such Customer,
including, but not limited to, payments on any Receivable, to a Controlled Account or Depository Account, (i) with respect to any
Person that is a Customer of any Person acquired in connection with any Permitted Acquisition, within sixty (60) days of the closing
date of such Permitted Acquisition and (ii) with respect to any Person that is not a Customer on the Closing Date, promptly upon
such Person becoming a Customer of a Loan Party. If any Loan Party shall receive any collections or other proceeds of the Collateral,
such Loan Party shall hold such collections or proceeds in trust for the benefit of Agent and deposit such collections or proceeds into
a Controlled Account or Depository Account within one (1) Business Day following the Borrower’s receipt thereof. All Depository
Accounts, investment accounts and other bank accounts of any Loan Party, including, without limitation, all Controlled Accounts and
Depository Accounts are described and set forth on Schedule 4.8(i). The parties hereto hereby acknowledge, confirm and agree that
the implementation of the cash management arrangements contemplated herein is a contractual right provided to the Agent and the
Lenders hereunder in order for the Agent and the Lenders to manage and monitor their collateral position and not a proceeding for
enforcement or recovery of a claim, or pursuant to, or an enforcement of, any security or remedies whatsoever, the cash management
arrangements contemplated herein are critical to the structure of the lending arrangements contemplated herein, the Agent and
Lenders are relying on the Loan Parties’ acknowledgement, confirmation and agreement with respect to such cash management
arrangements in making accommodations of credit available to them and in particular that any accommodations of credit are being
provided by the Agent and Lenders strictly on the basis of a borrowing base calculation to fully support and collateralize any such
accommodations of credit hereunder.
(h)

Receivables (or extend the time for payment thereof) or accept any returns of merchandise or grant any additional discounts,
allowances or credits thereon except

92
for those compromises, adjustments, returns, discounts, credits and allowances as have been heretofore customary in the Ordinary
Course of Business of such Loan Party.
(i)

prior written notice to Agent and Agent has consented in writing and (ii) subject to and to the extent required by Section 4.8(g), if
such account is to be maintained with a bank, depository institution or securities intermediary that is not the Agent, such bank,
depository institution or securities intermediary, each applicable Loan Party and Agent shall first have entered into an account control

Uniform Commercial Code) over such account.
4.9Inventory. To the extent Inventory held for sale or lease has been produced by any Loan Party, it has been and will be
produced by such Loan Party, in all material respects, in accordance with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended,
and all rules, regulations and orders thereunder.
4.10Maintenance of Equipment. Subject to the terms of Section 4.3, Equipment shall be maintained in good operating
condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear excepted). No Loan Party shall intentionally or knowingly use or operate the
Equipment in violation of any law, statute, ordinance, code, rule or regulation.
4.11Exculpation of Liability. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute Agent or any Lender as any Loan
Party’s agent for any purpose whatsoever (except to the extent necessary for the exercise of any power of attorney contained herein),
nor shall Agent or any Lender be responsible or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the
Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof. Neither Agent nor any Lender, whether by anything
herein or in any assignment or otherwise, assume any of any Loan Party’s obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to
Agent or such Lender, and neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance by any Loan Party of
any of the terms and conditions thereof.

6.1Compliance with Laws. Comply in all material respects with all Applicable Laws with respect to the Collateral or any
part thereof or to the operation of the Borrower’s business the non-compliance with which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect (except to the extent any separate provision of this Agreement shall expressly require compliance with any
particular Applicable Law(s) pursuant to another standard). Each Loan Party may, however, contest or dispute any Applicable Laws
in any reasonable manner, provided that any related Lien is inchoate or stayed and sufficient reserves are established to the
reasonable satisfaction of Agent to protect Agent’s Lien on or security interest in the Collateral.
6.2Conduct of Business and Maintenance of Existence and Assets. (a) Conduct its business according to good business
practices and maintain all of its properties useful or necessary in its business in good working order and condition (reasonable wear
and tear excepted and except as may be disposed of in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), including all Intellectual
Property, in each case, that are material to the business of Loan Parties, and take all actions necessary to enforce and protect the
validity of any material Intellectual Property right or other right included in the Collateral; (b) keep in full force and effect its
existence and comply in all material respects with the laws and regulations governing the conduct of its business where the failure to

Properly Contested. If any Taxes, assessment or other Charge is or may be imposed by any Governmental Body on or as a result of
any transaction between any Loan Party and Agent or any Lender which Agent or any Lender may be required to withhold or pay on
behalf of any Loan Party or if any Taxes, assessments, or other Charges of any Loan Party or upon any of the Collateral remain

payment by Agent under this Section 6.4 shall be charged to Borrower’s Account as a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic
Rate Loan and added to the Obligations and, until Loan Parties shall furnish Agent with an indemnity therefor (or supply Agent with
evidence satisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion that due provision for the payment thereof has been made), Agent may hold

(b)
Equity Cure Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default occurs as a result of Loan Parties’

when added to EBITDA as more fully set forth below, cause the Loan Parties to be in compliance with Section 6.5(a) after the last
day of the fiscal quarter for which such Event of
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
102
Default occurred (beginning with the first full fiscal quarter following the Closing Date) but prior to the day that is twenty (20)
Business Days after the day on which financial statements are required to be delivered to Agent for such fiscal quarter pursuant to
Section 9.8 (the “Required Contribution Date”), will, at the written request of Borrower, be included in the calculations of EBITDA
solely for the purposes of determining compliance with such financial covenant at the end of such fiscal quarter and any subsequent
testing period that includes such fiscal quarter; provided further that (a) the maximum amount of any Specified Contribution will be
no greater than the amount required to cause the Loan Parties to be in compliance with Section 6.5(a); (b) the use of proceeds from
any Specified Contribution will be disregarded for all other purposes under this Agreement and the Other Documents (including, to
the extent applicable, calculating EBITDA for purposes of determining basket levels, pricing and other items governed by reference
to EBITDA or that include EBITDA in the determination thereof in any respect); (c) there shall be no more than two (2) Specified
Contributions made during any four (4) consecutive fiscal quarter period, and no Specified Contribution in any two (2) consecutive
quarters, in each case during any time in which Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio compliance is being tested quarterly, (d) the proceeds
of all Specified Contributions will be paid to Agent and applied to prepay the Advances in the manner set forth in Section 2.19(c) of
this Agreement and (e) the reduction in total Indebtedness resulting from such application of the Specified Contribution shall not be
taken into account for purposes of measuring compliance with the financial covenant in Section 6.5(a) during any period that
includes Adjusted EBITDA resulting from a Specified Contribution. Borrower shall deliver to Agent irrevocable written notice of its
intent to cure any such Curable Default no later than thirty (30) days after the end of the calendar month or fiscal quarter as of which
such Curable Default occurred, which cure notice shall set forth the calculation of the applicable amount of the Specified
Contribution necessary to cure such Curable Default and upon receipt of which the Agent and Lenders shall not be permitted to
impose the Default Rate, accelerate the Obligations or exercise any rights or remedies against the Collateral. Upon timely receipt by
Agent in cash of the applicable Specified Contribution and application of the Specified Contribution to the Obligations, the
applicable Curable Defaults shall be deemed waived.
6.6Insurance.
(a)

thereunder shall be payable to Agent, (II) no such insurance shall be affected by any act or neglect of the insured or owner of the
property described in such policy, and (III) that such policy and loss payable clauses may not be cancelled, amended or terminated
unless at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice is given to Agent (or in the case of non-payment, at least ten (10) days’ prior
written notice). In the event of any loss thereunder, the carriers named therein
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
103
hereby are directed by Agent and the applicable Loan Party to make payment for such loss to Agent and not to such Loan Party and
Agent jointly. If any insurance losses are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to any Loan Party and Agent jointly, Agent
may endorse the Borrower’s name thereon and do such other things as Agent may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash.
(b)
[Reserved].
(c)
At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent is hereby authorized to adjust and
compromise claims under insurance coverage referred to in Sections 6.6(a)(i) and (ii) and 6.6(b) above. All loss recoveries payable to
Agent under any such insurance may be applied to the Obligations, in such order as Agent in its sole discretion shall determine. Any
surplus shall be paid by Agent to Borrower or applied as may be otherwise required by law. Any deficiency thereon shall be paid by
Borrower to Agent, on demand. If any Loan Party fails to obtain insurance as hereinabove provided, or to keep the same in force,

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or when the amount or validity thereof is currently being Properly Contested, subject at
all times to any applicable subordination arrangement in favor of Lenders and (ii) when due its rental obligations under all leases
under which it is a tenant, and shall otherwise comply, in all material respects, with all other terms of such leases and keep them in
full force and effect.

the Real Property and all operations and businesses conducted thereon are in compliance and remain in compliance with all
Environmental Laws.

Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and this Agreement and the obligation of Lenders to make Advances shall be
deemed terminated, (ii) any of the other Events of Default and at any time thereafter (if such Event of Default has not previously

Required Lenders, or at the direction of Required Lenders all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and Agent or

exercise any and all rights and remedies provided for herein, under the Other Documents, under the Uniform Commercial Code and
at law or equity generally, including the right to foreclose the security interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by

without incurring liability to any Loan Party therefor, and Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its discretion without
notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to such place as Agent may deem advisable and Agent may require Loan
Parties to make the Collateral available to Agent at a convenient place, (iii) with or without having the Collateral at the time or place
of sale, Agent may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such
price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Agent may elect, (iv) appoint by instrument in
writing one or more receiver, a receiver, a manager or a receiver and manager of any Loan Party or any or all of the Collateral with
such rights, powers and authority (including any or all of the rights, powers and authority of Agent under this Agreement) as may be
provided for in the instrument of appointment or any supplemental instrument, and remove and replace any such Receiver from time
to time and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such receiver, a receiver, a manager or a receiver and manager appointed
by Agent shall (for purposes relating to responsibility for such receiver, a receiver, a manager or a receiver and manager’s acts or
omissions) be considered to be the agent of the applicable Loan Party and not of Agent or (v) obtain from any court of competent

deficiency shall arise, Borrower shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders therefor.

reasonable manner, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent: (i) to fail to incur
expenses reasonably deemed significant by Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work
in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition; (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to
Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the

auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (viii) to dispose of
Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the
reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail
markets; (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit
enhancements to insure Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent a guaranteed return
from the collection or disposition of Collateral; or (xii) to the extent reasonably deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the
services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent in the collection or disposition of
any of the Collateral. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 11.1(b) is to provide non-exhaustive indications
of what actions or omissions by Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in Agent’s exercise of remedies against the
Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not
being indicated in this Section 11.1(b). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11.1(b) shall be
construed to grant any rights to any Loan Party or to impose any duties on Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by
this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section 11.1(b).
11.2Agent’s Discretion. Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or
remedies Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify, which procedures, timing and methodologies to employ,
and what any other action to take with respect to any or all of the Collateral and in what order, thereto and such determination will
not in any way modify or affect any of Agent’s or Lenders’ rights hereunder as against Loan Parties or each other.
11.3Setoff. Subject to Section 14.13, in addition to any other rights which Agent or any Lender may have under Applicable
Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Agent and such Lender shall have a right,
immediately and without notice of any kind, to apply any Loan Party’s property held by Agent and such Lender or any of their
Affiliates to reduce the Obligations and to exercise any and all rights of setoff which may be available to Agent and such Lender with
respect to any deposits held by Agent or such Lender. Every such right of setoff available to Agent shall be deemed to have been
exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder without any action of the Agent, although the Agent
may at a later time enter such setoff on its books and records (but with effect as of such time of deemed exercise).
11.4Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be
exhaustive and the exercise of any rights or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein
or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.
11.5Allocation of Payments After Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary,
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by Agent on account of the
Obligations (including without limitation any amounts on account of any of Cash Management Liabilities or
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
124
Hedge Liabilities), or in respect of the Collateral may, at Agent’s discretion, be paid over or delivered as follows, and after an
Application Event, will be paid over or delivered as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of Agent
payable under this Agreement and the Other Documents, and any Out-of-Formula Loans and Protective Advances funded by Agent
with respect to the Collateral under or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;
SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to Agent;
THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of each of
the Lenders to the extent owing to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;
FOURTH, to the payment of all of the Obligations consisting of accrued interest on account of the Swing Loans;
FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations consisting of Swing Loans;
SIXTH, to the payment of all Obligations arising under this Agreement and the Other Documents consisting of accrued fees
and interest (other than interest in respect of Swing Loans paid pursuant to clause FOURTH above);
SEVENTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations (other than principal in respect of Swing
Loans paid pursuant to clause FIFTH above) arising under this Agreement (other than Cash Management Liabilities and Hedge
Liabilities), including the payment or cash collateralization of any outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 3.2(b).
EIGHTH, to all other Obligations arising under this Agreement (other than Cash Management Liabilities and Hedge
Liabilities) which shall have become due and payable (hereunder, under the Other Documents or otherwise) and not repaid pursuant
to clauses “FIRST” through “SEVENTH” above;
NINTH, to any Cash Management Liabilities and Hedge Liabilities owing to Agent which shall have become due and
payable or otherwise and not repaid pursuant to Clauses “FIRST” through “EIGHTH” above; and
TENTH, to all other Obligations which shall have become due and payable and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST”
through “NINTH”; and
ELEVENTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to
application to the next succeeding category; (ii) each of the Lenders shall receive (so long as it is not a Defaulting Lender) an amount
equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Advances, Cash Management Liabilities and
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
125
Hedge Liabilities held by such Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding Advances, Cash Management Liabilities and Hedge
Liabilities) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses “SIXTH”, “SEVENTH”, “EIGHTH” and “TENTH” above; and,
with respect to clause “NINTH” above, an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Cash
Management Liabilities and Hedge Liabilities held by such Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding Cash Management
Liabilities and Hedge Liabilities); and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.5, no Swap Obligations of any
Non-Qualifying Party shall be paid with amounts received from such Non-Qualifying Party under its Guaranty (including sums
received as a result of the exercise of remedies with respect to such Guaranty) or from the proceeds of such Non-Qualifying Party’s
Collateral if such Swap Obligations would constitute Excluded Hedge Liabilities, provided, however, that to the extent possible
appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments and/or the proceeds of Collateral from other Loan Parties that are
Eligible Contract Participants with respect to such Swap Obligations to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth
above in this Section 11.5; and (iv) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “SEVENTH” above
are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by Agent as cash
collateral for the Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.2(b) and applied (A) first, to reimburse the Issuer from time to time for any
drawings under such Letters of Credit and (B) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the
types described in clauses “SEVENTH,” “EIGHTH”, “NINTH”, and “TENTH” above in the manner provided in this Section 11.5.
12.

presentment, protest and notice thereof with respect to any and all instruments, notice of acceptance hereof, notice of loans or
advances made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered, or any other action taken in reliance hereon, and all other demands
and notices of any description, except such as are expressly provided for herein.

12.3Jury Waiver. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING UNDER THIS

CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR

TO THIS AGREEMENT
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
126
MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE
OF THE CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
13.
EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION.
13.1Term. This Agreement, which shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the respective successors and
permitted assigns of each Loan Party, Agent and each Lender, shall become effective on the date hereof and shall continue in full
force and effect until February 27, 2030 (the “Term”) unless sooner terminated as herein provided. Loan Parties may terminate this
Agreement at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Agent upon payment in full of the Obligations.
13.2Termination. The termination of the Agreement shall not affect Agent’s or any Lender’s rights, or any of the
Obligations having their inception prior to the effective date of such termination or any Obligations which pursuant to the terms
hereof continue to accrue after such date, and the provisions hereof shall continue to be fully operative until all transactions entered
into, rights or interests created and Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid, disposed of, concluded or liquidated. The
security interests, Liens and rights granted to Agent and Lenders hereunder and the financing statements filed hereunder shall
continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the fact that Borrower’s Account may from
time to time be temporarily in a zero or credit position, until all of the Obligations of the Borrower have been indefeasibly paid and
performed in full after the termination of this Agreement or each Loan Party has furnished Agent and Lenders with an
indemnification satisfactory to Agent and Lenders with respect thereto. Accordingly, each Loan Party waives any rights which it may
have under the Uniform Commercial Code to demand the filing of termination statements with respect to the Collateral, and Agent
shall not be required to send such termination statements to each Loan Party, or to file them with any filing office, unless and until
this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms and all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in
immediately available funds. All representations, warranties, covenants, waivers and agreements contained herein shall survive
termination hereof until all Obligations are indefeasibly paid and performed in full.
14.
REGARDING AGENT.
14.1Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates PNC to act as Agent for such Lender under this Agreement and the Other
Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this
Agreement and the Other Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are
specifically delegated to or required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto and Agent shall hold all Collateral, payments of principal and interest, fees (except the fees set forth in Section 3.4), charges
and collections received pursuant to this Agreement, for the ratable benefit of Lenders. Agent may perform any of its duties
hereunder by or through its agents or employees. As to any matters not expressly
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
127
provided for by this Agreement (including collection of the Note) Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any
action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon
the instructions of Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to
take any action which, in Agent’s discretion, exposes Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the Other
Documents or Applicable Law unless Agent is furnished with an indemnification reasonably satisfactory to Agent with respect
thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender will attempt to collect or enforce any of its rights with
respect to the obligations, except to the extent specifically permitted under Section 11.1.
14.2Nature of Duties. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and
the Other Documents. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action taken or
omitted by them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross (not mere) negligence or willful
misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), or (ii) responsible in any manner
for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement,
or in any of the Other Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received
by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the Other Documents or for any failure of any
Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or under any Other Document. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender
to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement
or any of the Other Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. The duties of Agent as respects the
Advances to Borrower shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary
relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as
to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or the transactions described herein except as expressly set forth
herein.
14.3Lack of Reliance on Agent. Independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, each Lender has made
and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Loan Party in
connection with the making and the continuance of the Advances hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in connection
herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Loan Party. Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either
initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming
into its possession before making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter except as shall be provided by any Loan Party
pursuant to the terms hereof. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or
warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution,
effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other Document, or of the
financial condition of any Loan Party, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of
the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Notes, the Other Documents or the financial condition of any Loan Party,
or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default.
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
128
14.4Resignation of Agent; Successor Agent. Agent may resign on thirty (30) days written notice to each Lender and
Borrower and upon such resignation, Required Lenders will promptly (or, if the Required Lenders fail to designate a successor Agent
within thirty (30) days after such written notice, Agent itself may) designate a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to Borrower
(provided that no such approval of Borrower shall be required (i) in any case where the successor Agent is one of the Lenders or (ii)
after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default). Agent shall continue as Agent hereunder until a successor
Agent is so designated. Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and shall in particular
succeed to all of Agent’s right, title and interest in and to all of the Liens in the Collateral securing the Obligations created hereunder
or any Other Document (including any Pledge Agreement and all account control agreements), and the term “Agent” shall mean such
successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated,
without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of
the effectiveness of the new Agent’s appointment, any further actions need to be taken in order to provide for the legally binding and
valid transfer of any Liens in the Collateral from former Agent to new Agent and/or for the perfection of any Liens in the Collateral
as held by new Agent or it is otherwise not then possible for new Agent to become the holder of a fully valid, enforceable and
perfected Lien as to any of the Collateral, former Agent shall continue to hold such Liens solely as agent for perfection of such Liens
on behalf of new Agent until such time as new Agent can obtain a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien on all Collateral,
provided that Agent shall not be required to or have any liability or responsibility to take any further actions after such date as such
agent for perfection to continue the perfection of any such Liens (other than to forego from taking any affirmative action to release
any such Liens). After any Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article XIV, and any indemnification rights under this
Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement (and in the event resigning Agent continues to hold any Liens pursuant to
the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the provisions of this Article XIV and any indemnification rights under this
Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by it in connection with such Liens).
14.5Certain Rights of Agent. If Agent shall request instructions from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including
failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking
such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from Required Lenders; and Agent shall not incur liability to any
Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against
Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders.
14.6Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution,
notice, statement, certificate, email, facsimile, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, order or other document or telephone
message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with
respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Other Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel
selected by it. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of any such agents
or attorneys-in-fact selected by Agent with reasonable care.
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
129
14.7Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default hereunder or under the Other Documents, unless Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this
Agreement or the Other Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.
In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to
such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall
have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.
14.8Indemnification. To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by Loan Parties, each Lender will reimburse
and indemnify Agent in proportion to its respective portion of the outstanding Advances and its respective Participation
Commitments in the outstanding Letters of Credit and outstanding Swing Loans (or, if no Advances are outstanding, pro rata
according to the percentage that its Revolving Commitment Amount constitutes of the total aggregate Revolving Commitment
Amounts), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses
or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its
duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other Document; provided that Lenders shall not
be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment). All amounts due under this Section 14.8 shall be payable not later than ten (10) days
after demand therefor.
14.9Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the obligation of Agent to lend under this Agreement, the Advances
made by it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties as Agent
specified herein; and the term “Lender” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its
individual capacity as a Lender. Agent may engage in business with any Loan Party as if it were not performing the duties specified
herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise
without having to account for the same to Lenders.
14.10Delivery of Documents. To the extent Agent receives financial statements required under Sections 9.7, 9.8, 9.9, 9.12
and 9.13 or Borrowing Base Certificates from any Eligible Loan Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which any Loan Party
is not obligated to deliver to each Lender, Agent will promptly furnish such documents and information to Lenders.
14.11Loan Parties’ Undertaking to Agent. Without prejudice to their respective obligations to Lenders under the other
provisions of this Agreement, each Loan Party hereby undertakes with Agent to pay to Agent from time to time on demand all
amounts from time to time due and payable by it for the account of Agent or Lenders or any of them pursuant to this Agreement to
the extent not already paid. Any payment made pursuant to any such demand shall pro tanto satisfy the relevant Loan Party’s
obligations to make payments for the account of Lenders or the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement.
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
130
14.12No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program. To the extent the Advances or this Agreement is, or
becomes, syndicated in cooperation with other Lenders, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of
its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer
identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations
thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”) or any
other Anti‑Money Laundering Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with
any of Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Other Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i)
any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v)
other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such Anti-Money Laundering Law.
14.13Other Agreements. Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of Agent, and that it shall,
to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such
Lender to any Loan Party or any deposit accounts of any Loan Party now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Anything in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so
by Agent, take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Other Documents, it being the intent of
Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be taken in concert and
at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders.
14.14Authority to Release Collateral and Liens. Each Lender and Issuer hereby authorizes Agent to release any Collateral
that is permitted to be sold or released pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Lender and Issuer
hereby authorizes Agent to execute and deliver to a Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s sole cost and expense, any and all releases of
Liens, termination statements, assignments or other documents reasonably requested by such Loan Party in connection with any sale
or other disposition of assets or property to the extent such sale or other disposition is permitted by the terms of Section 7.1(b) or is
otherwise authorized by the terms of this Agreement and the Other Documents.
14.15Erroneous Payments.
(a)
If the Agent notifies a Lender, Issuer or other Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a
Lender, Issuer or another Secured Party (any such Lender, Issuer, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the
Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under Section 14.15(b)) that any funds received
by such Payment Recipient from the Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or
mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuer, other Secured Party or other Payment
Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees,
distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment
(or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Agent and shall be segregated by the
Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Lender, Issuer or other Secured Party shall (or, with
respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no
event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
131
to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day
funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous
Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day
funds at the greater of the Effective Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules
on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice from the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section
14.15(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b)
Without limiting Section 14.15(a), each Lender, Issuer or other Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds
on behalf of a Lender, Issuer or other Secured Party hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment
(whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Agent (or
any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in an amount different than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment,
prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such, prepayment or repayment (y) that was not
preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that
such Lender, Issuer or other Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or
by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:
(i) (A) In the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made
(absent written confirmation from the Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of
immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii) such Lender, Issuer or other Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its
respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of such error)
notify the Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail)
and that it is so notifying the Agent pursuant to this Section 14.15(b),
(c)
Each Lender, Issuer and other Secured Party hereby authorizes the Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts
at any time owing to such Lender, Issuer or other Secured Party under any Other Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by
the Agent to such Lender, Issuer or other Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Agent under Section 14.15(a)
or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(d)
In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Agent for any reason, after demand
therefor by the Agent in accordance with Section 14.15(a), from any Lender or Issuer that has received such Erroneous Payment (or
portion thereof) and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective
behalf (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Agent’s notice to such Lender or Issuer at
any time, (i) such Lender or Issuer shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Revolving Commitments) of the
relevant class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”)
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
132
in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Agent may specify) (such assignment
of the Advances (but not Revolving Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency
Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Agent in such instance), and is
hereby (together with the Loan Parties) deemed to execute and deliver an assignment and assumption with respect to such Erroneous
Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Issuer shall deliver any Notes evidencing such loans to the Borrower or the
Agent, (ii) the Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon
such deemed acquisition, the Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to
such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Issuer shall cease to be a Lender or Issuer, as
applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding for the avoidance of doubt, its
obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Revolving Commitments which shall survive
as to such assigning Lender or assigning Issuer and (iv) the Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the loans
subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Agent may, in its discretion, sell any loans acquired pursuant to an
Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency
owing by the applicable Lender or Issuer shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such loan (or portion thereof), and the
Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Issuer (and/or against any recipient that receives funds
on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Revolving
Commitments of any Lender or Issuer and such Revolving Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Agent has sold a loan (or portion thereof) acquired
pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Agent may be equitably subrogated, the
Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, Issuer or other Secured Party under the
Other Documents with respect to such Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).
(e)
The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any
Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely
with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent from the Borrower or any
other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f)
To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous
Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect
to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation,
waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(g)
Each party’s obligations under this Section 14.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, the

15.
GUARANTY.
15.1Unconditional Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a
surety, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by notice of
prepayment or otherwise, the due and punctual performance of all Obligations; provided that with respect to Obligations under or in
respect of any Swap Obligation, the foregoing guarantee shall only be effective to the extent that such Guarantor is an Eligible
Contract Participant at the time such Swap Obligation is entered into and such Obligations and such guarantee thereof are not
Excluded Hedge Liabilities. Each payment made by any Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall be made in lawful money of the
United States in immediately available funds, (a) without set-off or counterclaim and (b) free and clear of and without deduction or
withholding for or on account of any present and future Charges and any conditions or restrictions resulting in Charges and all
penalties, interest and other payments on or in respect thereof (except for Excluded Taxes) (“Covered Tax” or “Covered Taxes”)
unless such Guarantor is compelled by law to make payment subject to such Covered Taxes.
15.2Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Section 15 is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all
Obligations whenever arising.
15.3Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives to the extent not prohibited by
Applicable Law (i) promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, notice of presentment of payment and any other notice hereunder,
(ii) demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment, notice of the present and future amount of the Obligations and
any other notice with respect to the Obligations, (iii) any requirement that Agent protect, secure, perfect or insure any security
interest or Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any other Loan Party, or any Person or
any Collateral, (iv) any other action, event or precondition to the enforcement hereof or the performance by any Loan Party of the
Obligations, and (v) any defense arising by any lack of capacity or authority or any other defense of any Loan Party or any notice,
demand or defense by reason of cessation from any cause of Obligations other than payment and performance in full of the
Obligations by the Loan Parties and any defense that any other guarantee or security was or was to be obtained by Agent.
15.4No Defense. No invalidity, irregularity, voidableness, voidness or unenforceability of this Agreement or any Other
Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or of all or any part of the Obligations or of any collateral security
therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense hereunder.
15.5Guaranty of Payment. The Guaranty hereunder is one of payment and performance, not collection, and the obligations
of each Guarantor are independent of the Obligations of the other Loan Parties, and a separate action or actions may be brought and
prosecuted against any Guarantor to enforce the terms and conditions of this Article XVI, irrespective of whether any action is
brought against any other Loan Party or other Persons or whether any other Loan Party or other Persons are joined in any such action
or actions. Each Guarantor waives any right to require that any resort be had by Agent to any security held for payment of the
Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of Agent in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person.
No election to proceed in one form of action or proceedings, or against any
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
135
Person, or on any Obligations, shall constitute a waiver of Agent’s right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or
against any other Person unless Agent has expressed any such right in writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no
action or proceeding by Agent against any Loan Party under any document evidencing or securing indebtedness of any Loan Party to
Agent shall diminish the liability of any Guarantor, except to the extent Agent receives actual payment on account of Obligations by
such action or proceeding, notwithstanding the effect of any such election, action or proceeding upon the right of subrogation of any
Loan Party in respect of any Loan Party.
15.6Liabilities Absolute. The liability of each Guarantor shall be absolute, unlimited and unconditional and shall not be
subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than prior indefeasible payment in
full of all Obligations), including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not
be subject to any claim, defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality
or unenforceability of any other Obligation or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each
Guarantor shall not be discharged or impaired, released, limited or otherwise affected by:
(a)
any change in the manner, place or terms of payment or performance, and/or any change or extension of the
time of payment or performance of, release, renewal or alteration of, or any new agreements relating to any Obligation, any security
therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any rescission of, or amendment, waiver or other
modification of, or any consent to departure from, this Agreement or any Other Document, including any increase in the Obligations
resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or otherwise;
(b)
any sale, exchange, release, surrender, loss, abandonment, realization upon any property by whomsoever at
any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, all or any of the Obligations, and/or any offset there against, or
failure to perfect, or continue the perfection of, any Lien in any such property, or delay in the perfection of any such Lien, or any
amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty for all or any of the Obligations;
(c)
the failure of Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Loan Party
or any other Loan Party or any other Person under the provisions of this Agreement or any Other Document or any other document or
instrument executed and delivered in connection herewith or therewith;
(d)
any settlement or compromise of any Obligation, any security therefor or any liability (including any of
those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and any subordination of the payment of all or any part
thereof to the payment of any obligation (whether due or not) of any Loan Party to creditors of any Loan Party other than any other
Loan Party;
(e)
any manner of application of Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Obligations, or any manner
of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for all or any of the Obligations or any other assets of any Loan Party;
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
136
(f)
the invalidity, irregularity, voidableness, voidness or unenforceability of this Agreement or any Other
Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or of all or any part of the Obligations or of any collateral security
therefor; and
(g)
any other agreements or circumstance of any nature whatsoever that may or might in any manner or to any
extent vary the risk of any Loan Party, or that might otherwise at law or in equity constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of,
the Guaranty hereunder and/or the obligations of any Loan Party, or a defense to, or discharge of, any Loan Party or any other Person
or party hereto or the Obligations or otherwise with respect to the Advances or other financial accommodations to Loan Parties
pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Other Documents.
15.7Waiver of Notice. Agent shall have the right to do any of the above without notice to or the consent of any Guarantor,
and each Guarantor expressly waives any right to notice of, consent to, knowledge of and participation in any agreements relating to
any of the above or any other present or future event relating to Obligations whether under this Agreement or otherwise or any right
to challenge or question any of the above and waives any defenses of such Guarantor which might arise as a result of such actions.
15.8Agent’s Discretion. Agent may at any time and from time to time (whether prior to or after the revocation or termination
of this Agreement) without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without incurring responsibility to any Guarantor or
impairing or releasing the Obligations, apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any Obligations regardless of
what Obligations remain unpaid.
15.9Reinstatement.
(a)
The Guaranty provisions herein contained shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the
case may be, if a claim is ever made upon Agent for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by such Person in
payment or on account of any of the Obligations and such Person repays all or part of said amount for any reason whatsoever,
including, without limitation, by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over
such Person or the respective property of each, or any settlement or compromise of any claim effected by such Person with any such
claimant (including any Loan Party); and in such event each Loan Party hereby agrees that any such judgment, decree, order,
settlement or compromise or other circumstances shall be binding upon such Loan Party, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or
the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any Obligation, and each Loan Party shall be and remain liable to Agent
for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by such Person(s).
(b)
Agent shall not be required to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party, or against or in payment of
Obligations.
(c)
No Loan Party shall be entitled to claim against any present or future security held by Agent from any Person
for Obligations in priority to or equally with any claim of Agent, or assert any claim for any liability of any Loan Party to any Loan
Party in priority to or equally with claims of Agent for Obligations, and no Loan Party shall be entitled to compete with
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
137
Agent with respect to, or to advance any equal or prior claim to any security held by Agent for Obligations.
(d)
If any Loan Party makes any payment to Agent, which payment is wholly or partly subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to any Person under any federal or state statute or at
common law or under equitable principles, then to the extent of such payment, the Obligation intended to be paid shall be revived
and continued in full force and effect as if the payment had not been made, and the resulting revived Obligation shall continue to be
guaranteed, uninterrupted, by each Loan Party.
(e)
All present and future monies payable by any Loan Party to any other Loan Party, whether arising out of a
right of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, indemnification, or otherwise, are assigned to Agent as additional security for such
Loan Party’s liability to Agent hereunder and are postponed and subordinated to Agent’s prior right to payment in full of Obligations.
Except to the extent prohibited otherwise by this Agreement, all monies received by any Loan Party from any other Loan Party shall
be held by such Loan Party as agent and trustee for Agent. This assignment, postponement and subordination shall only terminate
when the Obligations (other than contingent obligations as to which no claim has been made) are paid in full in cash, all Revolving
Commitments are irrevocably terminated and this Agreement is irrevocably terminated.
(f)
Each Loan Party acknowledges this assignment and subordination and, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, agrees to make no payments to any other Loan Party in respect of any Indebtedness for borrowed
money without the prior written consent of Agent. Each Loan Party agrees to give full effect to the provisions hereof.
15.10Lien Subordination; Remedies Standstill. Notwithstanding the order or time of attachment, or the order, time or
manner of perfection, or the order or time of filing or recordation of any document or instrument, or other method of perfecting a
Lien in favor of Agent or any Loan Party in any Collateral and notwithstanding any conflicting terms or conditions which may be
contained in this Agreement or any agreement evidencing Indebtedness owing by any Loan Party to any other Loan Party, the Liens
on the Collateral in favor of Agent have and shall have priority over the Liens on the Collateral in favor of any Loan Party (including,
without limitation, any Liens of any Loan Parties arising from the exercise of unsecured lender remedies), and such Liens in favor of
any Loan Party are and shall be, in all respects, subject and subordinate to the Liens of Agent to the full extent of the Obligations
outstanding from time to time. Until the payment in full in cash of all Obligations, no Loan Party shall exercise any rights or
remedies against any other Loan Party, in its capacity as a secured creditor of such other Loan Party, to sell, foreclose, realize upon
or liquidate any of the Collateral, including the exercise of any of the rights or remedies of a “secured party” under Article 9 of the
Uniform Commercial Code.
15.11Statute of Limitations. Any acknowledgment or new promise, whether by payment of principal or interest or otherwise
and whether by any Loan Party or others with respect to any of the Obligations shall, if the statute of limitations in favor of any
Guarantor against Agent shall have commenced to run, toll the running of such statute of limitations and, if the period of such statute
of limitations shall have expired, prevent the operation of such statute of limitations.
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
138
15.12Interest. All amounts due, owing and unpaid from time to time by any Guarantor hereunder shall bear interest at the
interest rate per annum then chargeable with respect to the Advances (without duplication of interest on the underlying Obligation).
15.13Currency Conversion. Without limiting any other rights in this Agreement, if for the purposes of obtaining judgment in
any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Guaranty or any Other Document it becomes necessary to convert into the currency
of such jurisdiction (herein called the “Judgment Currency”) any amount due hereunder in any currency other than the Judgment
Currency, then conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is
given. For this purpose, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which Agent would, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 p.m., be
prepared to sell a similar amount of such currency in New York, New York against the Judgment Currency. In the event that there is
a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of
payment of the amount due, each Guarantor will, on the date of payment, pay such additional amounts (if any) as may be necessary
to ensure that the amount paid on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which when converted at the rate of exchange
prevailing on the date of payment is the amount then due under this Guaranty or any Other Document in such other currency. Any
additional amount due from Guarantor under this Section 15.13 will be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment
being obtained for any other sums due under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the Other Documents.
15.14Acknowledgement. Each Guarantor acknowledges receipt of a copy of each of this Agreement and the Other
Documents. Each Guarantor has made an independent investigation of Loan Parties and of the financial condition of Loan Parties.
Agent has not made, nor does it hereby make any representations or warranties as to the income, expense, operation, finances or any
other matter or thing affecting any Loan Party, and Agent has not made any representations or warranties as to the amount or nature
of the Obligations of any Loan Party to which this Section 15 applies as specifically herein set forth, nor Agent or any officer, agent
or employee of Agent or any representative thereof, made any other oral representations, agreements or commitments of any kind or
nature, and each Guarantor hereby expressly acknowledges that no such representations or warranties have been made and such
Guarantor expressly disclaims reliance on any such representations or warranties.
16.

affected thereby;

purposes of completing missing content or correcting erroneous content of an administrative nature, without the need for a written
agreement, provided that the Agent shall send a copy of any such modification to the Loan Parties and each Lender (which copy may
be provided by electronic mail).
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
141
(d)
Any such supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be binding upon Loan
Parties, Lenders and Agent and all future holders of the Obligations. In the case of any waiver, Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders shall
be restored to their former positions and rights, and any Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but
no waiver of a specific Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default (whether or not the subsequent Event of
Default is the same as the Event of Default which was waived), or impair any right consequent thereon.
(e)
In the event that Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to this Section 16.2 and such consent is
denied, then Agent may, at its option, require such Lender to assign its interest in the Advances to Agent or to another Lender or to
any other Person designated by Agent and acceptable to Borrower (the “Designated Lender”), for a price equal to (i) the then
outstanding principal amount thereof plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest and fees due such Lender, which interest and fees shall be
paid when collected from Loan Parties. In the event Agent elects to require any Lender to assign its interest to Agent or to the
Designated Lender, Agent will so notify such Lender in writing within forty-five (45) days following such Lender’s denial, and such
Lender will assign its interest to Agent or the Designated Lender no later than five (5) days following receipt of such notice pursuant
to a Revolving Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by such Lender, Agent or the Designated Lender, as appropriate,
Borrower and Agent.
(f)
Notwithstanding (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) that any of the other applicable
conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments of Lenders to make Revolving
Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, Agent may at its
discretion and without the consent of any Lender, voluntarily permit the outstanding Revolving Advances at any time to exceed the
Formula Amount by up to ten percent (10.00%) of the Formula Amount for up to sixty (60) consecutive Business Days (the “Out-of-
Formula Loans”); provided that the aggregate amount of all outstanding Out-of-Formula Loans and Protective Advances shall not
exceed the lesser of (x) ten percent (10.00%) of the Formula Amount and (y) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount. If Agent is
willing in its sole and absolute discretion to permit such Out-of-Formula Loans, Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall
be obligated to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, and such
Out-of-Formula Loans shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate for Revolving Advances consisting of
Domestic Rate Loans; provided that, if Agent does permit Out-of-Formula Loans, neither Agent nor Lenders shall be deemed thereby
to have changed the limits of Section 2.1(a) nor shall any Lender be obligated to fund Revolving Advances in excess of its Revolving
Commitment Amount. For purposes of this paragraph and paragraph (f) below, the discretion granted to Agent hereunder shall not
preclude involuntary overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that the Formula Amount was unintentionally
exceeded for any reason, including, but not limited to, Collateral previously deemed to be either “Eligible Receivables”, “Eligible
Unbilled Receivables” or “Eligible Inventory”, as applicable, becomes ineligible, collections of Receivables applied to reduce
outstanding Revolving Advances are thereafter returned for insufficient funds or overadvances are made to protect or preserve the
Collateral. In the event Agent involuntarily permits the outstanding Revolving Advances to exceed the Formula Amount by more
than ten percent (10.00%), Agent shall use its efforts to have Loan Parties decrease such excess in as expeditious a manner as is
practicable under the circumstances and not inconsistent with the reason for such excess. Revolving Advances made after Agent has
determined the existence of involuntary overadvances
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
142
shall be deemed to be involuntary overadvances and shall be decreased in accordance with the preceding sentence. To the extent any
Out-of-Formula Loans are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(f), Agent may elect in its
discretion to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans and any such Out-of-Formula Loans so funded by Agent shall be deemed to be
Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and
remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such
Revolving Advances.
(g)
In addition to (and not in substitution of) the discretionary Revolving Advances permitted above in this
Section 16.2, Agent is hereby authorized by Loan Parties and Lenders, at any time in Agent’s sole discretion, regardless of (i) the
existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) whether any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2
have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for
any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, to make Revolving Advances to Loan Parties, subject to Section
2.1(a), on behalf of Lenders which Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable (a) to preserve or protect
the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (b) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Advances and
other Obligations, or (c) to pay any other amount chargeable to Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (collectively,
the “Protective Advances”); provided that the aggregate amount of all outstanding Protective Advances and Out-of-Formula Loans
shall not exceed the lesser of (x) ten percent (10.00%) of the Formula Amount and (y) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount.
Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Protective Advances and effect a settlement with Agent
therefor upon demand of Agent in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. To the extent any Protective
Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(g), any such Protective Advances funded
by Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including
accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with
respect to such Revolving Advances.
16.3Successors and Assigns; Participations; New Lenders.
(a)
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Loan Parties, Agent, each Lender, all future
holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party may assign or transfer any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement (including, in each case, by way of an LLC Division) without the prior written consent of
Agent and each Lender.
(b)
Each Loan Party acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial banking business one or more
Lenders may at any time and from time to time sell participating interests in the Advances to other Persons (each such transferee or
purchaser of a participating interest, a “Participant”). Each Participant may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off)
with respect to the portion of such Advances held by it or other Obligations payable hereunder as fully as if such Participant were the
direct holder thereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, rights under Section 3.10), subject to the same requirements and
limitations of a direct holder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the documentation requirements of Section 3.10(e) (it being
understood that the documentation required under Section 3.10(e) shall be delivered to
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
143
the participating Lender)), provided that (i) Loan Parties shall not be required to pay to any Participant more than the amount which it
would have been required to pay to Lender which granted an interest in its Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to such
Participant had such Lender retained such interest in the Advances hereunder or other Obligations payable hereunder unless the sale
of the participation to such Participant is made with Loan Parties’ prior written consent, and (ii) in no event shall Loan Parties be
required to pay any such amount arising from the same circumstances and with respect to the same Advances or other Obligations
payable hereunder to both such Lender and such Participant. Upon any such sale, such Lender’s obligations under each Other
Document shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall
remain the holder of any such Loan and all parties hereto shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with the Other Documents. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender shall sell any such participation shall provide that such
Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to exercise such Lender’s rights and enforce each Secured Party’s obligations
hereunder, including the right to consent to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of any provision of any Other
Document, except for those described in clauses (ii), (iv) or (v) of Section 16.2(b). Each Loan Party hereby grants to any Participant a
continuing security interest in any deposits, moneys or other property actually or constructively held by such Participant as security
for the Participant’s interest in the Advances. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-
fiduciary agent of Loan Parties, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal
amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or Other
Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the
Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Revolving
Commitments, Advances or its other obligations hereunder or under any Other Document) to any Person except to the extent that
such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Commitment, Advance or other obligation is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
(c)
Any Lender, with the consent of Agent may sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its rights and obligations
under or relating to Revolving Advances under this Agreement and the Other Documents to one or more additional Persons and one
or more additional Persons may commit to make Advances hereunder (each a “Purchasing Lender”), in minimum amounts of not less
than $5,000,000, pursuant to a Revolving Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender, the transferor
Lender, and Agent and delivered to Agent for recording, provided, however, that each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to each of
the Revolving Advances under this Agreement in which such Lender has an interest. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and
recording, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Revolving Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i)
Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Revolving Commitment Transfer
Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder with a Revolving Commitment Percentage as set forth therein,
and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Revolving Commitment Transfer Supplement, be
released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Revolving Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that
purpose. Such Revolving Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the
extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Revolving Commitment
Percentages arising from the
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
144
purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement
and the Other Documents. Each Loan Party hereby consents to the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment
of the Revolving Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and
obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Loan Parties shall execute and deliver such
further documents and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing provided, however, that the consent of
Loan Parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Permitted Assignee; provided that Loan
Parties shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless they shall object thereto by written notice to Agent within
five (5) Business Days after having received prior notice thereof.
(d)
Any Lender other than PNC, with the consent of Agent and Borrower, in each case, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, or PNC in its sole discretion, may directly or indirectly sell, assign or transfer all or any portion of
its rights and obligations under or relating to Revolving Advances under this Agreement and the Other Documents to an entity,
whether a corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company or other entity that (i) is engaged in making, purchasing, holding
or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and (ii) is administered,
serviced or managed by the assigning Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender (a “Purchasing CLO” and together with each Participant
and Purchasing Lender, each a “Transferee” and collectively the “Transferees”), pursuant to a Revolving Commitment Transfer
Supplement modified as appropriate to reflect the interest being assigned (“Modified Revolving Commitment Transfer
Supplement”), executed by any intermediate purchaser, the Purchasing CLO, the transferor Lender, Borrower and Agent as
applicable and delivered to Agent for recording. Upon such execution and delivery, from and after the transfer effective date
determined pursuant to such Modified Revolving Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing CLO thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent provided in such Modified Revolving Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of
a Lender thereunder and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Modified Revolving Commitment
Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Modified Revolving Commitment Transfer
Supplement creating a novation for that purpose. Such Modified Revolving Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to
amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing CLO. Each Loan
Party hereby consents to the addition of such Purchasing CLO. Loan Parties shall execute and deliver such further documents and do
such further acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing.
(e)
Agent shall maintain at its address a copy of each Revolving Commitment Transfer Supplement and
Modified Revolving Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names
and addresses of each Lender and the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees due hereunder. The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and each Loan Party, Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advance recorded therein for the purposes of this Agreement. The
Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice. Agent shall receive a fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the applicable
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
145
Purchasing Lender and/or Purchasing CLO upon the effective date of each transfer or assignment (other than to an intermediate
purchaser) to such Purchasing Lender and/or Purchasing CLO.
(f)
Each Loan Party authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Transferee and any prospective Transferee any
and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning such Loan Party which has been delivered to such Lender by or
on behalf of such Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of such Loan Party
subject to the confidentiality requirements set forth in Section 16.15.
(g)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time and from
time to time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such
Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or
assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender
as a party hereto.
(h)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Lender may assign or transfer any
of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any (i) Loan Party or any of any Loan Party’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (ii)
Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting
Lender or a Subsidiary thereof or (iii) natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated
for the primary benefit of, a natural person).
16.4Application of Payments. Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and re-apply any
payment and any and all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment
or Agent or any Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Loan Party’s benefit, which are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver,
custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part
thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such
Lender.
16.5Indemnity. Each Loan Party shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Agent, Issuer, each Lender and
each of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, attorneys, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) for and from
and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fines, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
charges, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including fees and disbursements of counsel (limited to one
counsel to the Agent and the Issuer and the Lenders, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, of one local counsel in any applicable
jurisdiction to such persons, taken as a whole)) (collectively, “Claims”) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against
any Indemnified Party in arising out of or in any way relating to or as a consequence, direct or indirect, of: (i) this Agreement, the
Other Documents, the Advances and other Obligations and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including the Transactions, (ii)
any action or failure to act or action taken only after delay or the satisfaction of any conditions by any Indemnified Party in
connection with and/or relating to the negotiation, execution, delivery or administration of the Agreement and the Other Documents,
the credit facilities established hereunder and thereunder and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including the Transactions,
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
146
(iii) any Loan Party’s failure to observe, perform or discharge any of its covenants, obligations, agreements or duties under or breach
of any of the representations or warranties made in this Agreement and the Other Documents, (iv) the enforcement of any of the
rights and remedies of Agent, Issuer or any Lender under the Agreement and the Other Documents, (v) any threatened or actual
imposition of fines or penalties, or disgorgement of benefits, for violation of any Anti-Money Laundering Law by any Loan Party,
any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Loan Party, and (vi) any claim, litigation, proceeding or investigation instituted or conducted by
any Governmental Body or instrumentality against any Loan Party, any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Loan Party, or any other
Person with respect to any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by, or referred to in, or any matter related to, this Agreement or
the Other Documents, whether or not Agent or any Lender is a party thereto, in each such case except to the extent that any of the
foregoing arises out of the gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or fraud of the Indemnified Party (as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, each Loan
Party shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless each Indemnified Party from (x) any Claims which may be imposed on,
incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party arising out of or in any way relating to or as a consequence, direct or indirect,
of the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder and (y) any Claims which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any
Indemnified Party under any Environmental Laws with respect to or in connection with the Real Property, any Hazardous Discharge,
the presence of any Hazardous Materials affecting the Real Property (whether or not the same originates or emerges from the Real
Property or any contiguous real estate), including any Claims consisting of or relating to the imposition or assertion of any Lien on
any of the Real Property under any Environmental Laws and any loss of value of the Real Property as a result of the foregoing except
to the extent such loss, liability, damage and expense is attributable to any Hazardous Discharge resulting from actions on the part of
Agent or any Lender in each such case except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of the gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
judgment). Loan Parties’ obligations under the prior sentence shall arise upon the discovery of the presence of any Hazardous
Materials at the Real Property, whether or not any federal, state, provincial or local environmental agency has taken or threatened any
action in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Materials. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE
FOREGOING, THIS INDEMNITY SHALL EXTEND TO ANY LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES,
PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE
WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING REASONABLE FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF COUNSEL) ASSERTED AGAINST OR
INCURRED BY ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES BY ANY PERSON UNDER ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS BY
REASON OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS, INCLUDING THOSE
APPLICABLE TO SOLID OR HAZARDOUS WASTE MATERIALS, INCLUDING HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND
HAZARDOUS WASTE, OR OTHER TOXIC SUBSTANCES. THIS SECTION 16.5 SHALL NOT APPLY WITH RESPECT TO
TAXES OTHER THAN ANY TAXES THAT REPRESENT LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, ETC. ARISING FROM ANY NON-
TAX CLAIM. All amounts due under this Section 16.5 shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after demand therefor.

16.7Survival. The obligations of Loan Parties under Sections 2.2(f), 2.2(g), 2.2(h), 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 17.5 and 17.9 and the
obligations of Lenders under Sections 2.2, 2.14(b), 2.15, 2.17, 2.18, 14.8 and 17.5, shall survive termination of this Agreement and
the Other Documents and payment in full of the Obligations.
16.8Severability. If any part of this Agreement is contrary to, prohibited by, or deemed invalid under Applicable Laws, such
provision shall be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the
[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
149
extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be given effect so far as
possible.
16.9Expenses. Loan Parties shall pay (i) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent and its Affiliates (including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for Agent (which shall be limited to (x) a single primary outside counsel and
(y) one local counsel required in each applicable jurisdiction)), and shall pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and
time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit

Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions

16.10Injunctive Relief. Each Loan Party recognizes that, in the event any Loan Party fails to perform, observe or discharge
any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, or threatens to fail to perform, observe or discharge such obligations or
liabilities, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lenders; therefor, Agent, if Agent so requests, shall be entitled to
temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate
remedy.
16.11Consequential Damages. No party hereto, nor any agent or attorney for any of them, shall be liable to any other party
hereto (or any Affiliate of any such Person) for indirect, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages arising from any breach of

[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
150
16.14Construction. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed this Agreement and that the

obtained by Agent, such Lender or such Transferee pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement in accordance with Agent’s, such
Lender’s and such Transferee’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature; provided, however, Agent,
each Lender and each Transferee may disclose such confidential information (a) to its Affiliates and its and their examiners,
Affiliates, financing sources, directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, outside auditors, counsel and other professional
advisors, (b) to Agent, any Lender or to any prospective Transferees, (c) in connection with, and to the extent reasonably necessary
for, the exercise of any secured creditor remedy under this Agreement or under any Other Document and (d) as required or requested
by any Governmental Body or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided, further that (i) unless specifically
prohibited by Applicable Law, Agent, each Lender and each Transferee shall use its reasonable best efforts prior to disclosure
thereof, to notify the applicable Loan Party of the applicable request for disclosure of such non-public information (A) by a

banking and other services may be offered or provided to such Loan Party or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this
Agreement) by the Agent or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the Agent and each Loan Party hereby authorizes the Agent
to share any information delivered to the Agent by such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection

services to enter into this Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Agent, it being understood that any such Subsidiary
or Affiliate of the Agent receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 16.15 as if it were a Lender
hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any non-disclosure agreement or similar document executed by Agent in favor of any Loan Party or any of any
Loan Party’s affiliates, the provisions of this Agreement shall supersede such agreements.
16.16Publicity. Notwithstanding any provision of any Other Document, the Agent may, with the Borrower’s consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (i) disclose a general description of transactions arising under
the Other Documents for advertising, marketing or other similar purposes, and (ii) use any Secured Party’s name, logo or other
indicia germane to such party in connection with such advertising, marketing or other similar purposes.

[Innovex] 3rd A&R Credit Agreement
151
(a)
Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United
States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA
PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an Affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that
maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating
such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification,

the applicable regulations: (1) within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, and (2) as such other times as are required under the USA
PATRIOT Act.
(b)
The USA PATRIOT Act requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information
that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, each Lender
may from time to time request, and each Loan Party shall provide to the Lenders, such Loan Party’s name, address, tax identification
number and/or such other identifying information as shall be necessary for the Lenders to comply with the USA PATRIOT Act and
any other Anti-Money Laundering Law.
16.18[Reserved].

Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the Second A&R Credit Agreement, as amended and restated hereby, (ii) all references to any

152

INNOVEX INTERNATIONAL, INC. LEGAL
POLICY – INSIDER TRADING
1.0 Introduction
1.1.
In the normal course of business, officers, directors, employees and contractors of Innovex International, Inc. (“Innovex”) may come into
possession of significant, sensitive information. Because Innovex is a publicly traded company, federal insider trading laws generally prohibit
any director, officer or employee of Innovex or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) who possesses material nonpublic
information concerning the Company from buying or selling securities of Innovex or passing on such information to others who do so.
Substantial legal penalties can be imposed for violation of such laws. The purpose of this policy is to (i) inform persons that are affiliated with
the Company of their responsibilities in this area under the law, (ii) establish procedures for certain officers, directors and employees of the
Company to follow before trading in securities of Innovex, (iii) establish a policy for such persons to follow with respect to maintaining
confidentiality of information related to the Company, (iv) explain the consequences of violating the law and this policy and (v) permit persons
affiliated with the Company to implement written plans to sell Company securities in compliance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). This policy applies to all directors, officers and employees of the Company, and
their respective family members and controlled entities (each as defined below in Section 3.1 of this policy). The Company may also determine
that other persons should be subject to this policy, such as contractors or consultants who have access to material non-public information.
2.0 Federal Insider Trading Laws
2.1.
The Law. Federal insider trading laws generally prohibit any officer, director or employee (or any family member or controlled entity of an
officer, director or employee) of the Company who possesses material nonpublic information relating to the Company from buying, selling,
gifting or otherwise trading securities of Innovex, including Innovex common stock, options to purchase Innovex common stock, any other
type of securities that the Company may issue, such as preferred stock, convertible debentures and warrants, as well as exchange-traded
options, other derivative securities, and puts, calls and short sales involving Company securities or engaging in any other action to take
advantage of, or pass on to others, that information. Personal trading transactions that may be necessary or justifiable for independent reasons
(such as the need to raise money for an emergency expenditure) are not an exception. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”),
which is the primary U.S. regulator under the federal securities laws, takes the view that the mere fact that a person knows the information is
enough to bar him or her from trading, even if the reasons for the potential trade are not based on that information. This prohibition also
extends to all material nonpublic information regarding a company (1) with which the Company does business, such as the Company’s
vendors, customers and suppliers, or (2) that is involved in a potential transaction or business relationship with the Company that may be
acquired in the course of a person’s employment or affiliation with the Company.
2.2.
Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans. Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act creates an affirmative defense to insider trading liability that is designed to
cover situations in which an insider can demonstrate that material nonpublic information was not a factor in such person’s trading decision –
that is, that the trade was not made “on the basis of” material nonpublic information. The affirmative defense is available to a person
purchasing or selling Innovex securities while aware of material nonpublic information if, before becoming aware of the information, the
person has adopted a written plan for trading Innovex securities adopted in compliance with the requirements of Section 4 of this policy.
Officers, directors and employees (or any family members or controlled entities of an officer, director or employee) of the Company may enter
into such a Rule 10b5-1 sales plan (a “10b5-1 Plan”) if they so desire. See Section 4 of this policy for the applicable guidelines for entering into
a 10b5-1 Plan.
2.3.
Materiality. In order to comply with this policy, it is often important for you to determine whether certain information is material nonpublic
information. Information may be considered “material” when the information, whether positive or negative, might be of possible significance
to an investor in a decision to purchase, sell or hold stock or other securities. Information may be significant for this purpose even if it would
not alone determine the investor’s decision. Chances are, if a person learns something that leads that person to want to buy, sell or hold
securities, the information will be considered material. Thus, even speculative information can be material: information that something is likely
to happen, or even that it may happen, can be considered material. In short, any information which could reasonably affect the price of the
stock is material information. By way of example, the following information, in most circumstances, would be deemed material:
•
annual, quarterly or monthly financial results;
•
a change in earnings or earnings projections;
•
a potential merger, acquisition or tender offer involving the Company or a change of control of the Company;
•
a potential acquisition of another business or significant asset;
•
a potential disposition of a business or division of the Company or significant assets;
•
a Company restructuring;
•
significant changes in prices, customers or suppliers;
•
significant changes in the Company’s operations, projections or strategic plans;
•
significant related party transactions;
•
planned changes in dividend policies;
•
declaration of a stock split or the offering of additional securities;
•
award or loss of a significant contract or the non-performance by a party under a significant existing contract;
•
material defaults under agreements or actions by creditors, clients, or suppliers relating to a company’s credit rating;
•
a proposed debt or equity offering, or significant developments in borrowings, or financings or capital investments;
•
the establishment of a repurchase program for Company securities;
•
significant actual or potential cybersecurity incidents, events or risks that affect the Company or third-party providers that
support the Company’s business operations, including computer system or network compromises, viruses or other destructive
software, and data breach incidents that may disclose personal, business or other confidential information;
•
a change in auditors or notification that the auditor’s report may no longer be relied upon;
•
impositions of an event-specific restriction on trading in Company securities or the extension or termination of such
restriction;
•
significant threatened litigation or government agency investigations or significant developments in existing litigation or
investigations;
•
top management changes, changes in directors or auditors; and
•
significant new products or discoveries, or results of important research and development.
This list is not intended to be exhaustive; other types of information may also be material. Officers, directors and
employees (and any other person designated by the Company as subject to this policy), and their respective family members and
controlled entities must not engage in any transaction that is described above until after this type of information becomes public.
Enforcement authorities will scrutinize a questionable trade after the fact with the benefit of hindsight, so you should always err on the
side of caution in determining whether the information is material.
2.4.
When Information is Public. Information is considered “public” and no longer “nonpublic” or “inside” only after it has been effectively
disclosed in a manner sufficient to insure its availability to the investing public. Information generally would be considered widely
disseminated if it has been disclosed through the newswire services, a broadcast on a widely-available television or radio program, publication
in a widely-available newspaper, magazine or news website, or public disclosure documents filed with the SEC. By contrast, information
would likely not be considered widely disseminated if it is available only to the Company’s employees or if it is only available to a select group
of analysts, brokers or institutional investors. Furthermore, adequate dissemination requires allowing enough time after the announcement for
the market to react to the information. Once Innovex releases information through public channels, it may take a few additional days for it to be
considered broadly disseminated. To avoid the appearance of impropriety, as a general rule, information should not be considered fully
absorbed by the marketplace until the second business day after the information is released. For example, if the Company publicly disclosed
the information on a Tuesday, the first day that trading could occur would be on Friday.
2.5.
Tipping. Information that could have an impact on Innovex stock price, or sensitive information relating to other companies, including
customers, suppliers or potential parties to contracts, must not be passed on to other companies or people (such as family members, friends,
relatives or business associates). When “tipping” occurs, both the “tipper” and the “tippee” may be held liable, and this liability may extend to
all those to whom the tippee gives the information. The legal penalties described in this policy are applicable whether or not a person derives
any benefit from another’s actions.
3.0 Restrictions on Purchases and Sales
3.1.
General Policy. It is the Company’s policy that if you possess material nonpublic information concerning the Company, you may not, directly
or indirectly (through a family member or controlled entity, as described below), either (i) buy, sell, gift or otherwise trade securities of
Innovex (other than pursuant to a 10b5-1 Plan) or (ii) pass on such information to others. This policy also extends to trading in securities issued
by other companies (1) with which the Company does business, such as the Company’s vendors, customers and suppliers, or (2) that is
involved in a potential transaction or business relationship with the Company (including such other company’s common stock, options to
purchase its common stock, any other type of securities that such company may issue, such as preferred stock, convertible debentures and
warrants, as well as exchange-traded options, other derivative securities, and puts, calls and short sales involving such company’s securities) if
you have acquired material nonpublic information relating to such companies in the course of your employment or affiliation with the
Company.
For the purposes of this policy, a “family member” includes your family members (including a spouse, minor children, or other relatives)
living in your household; anyone else living in your household; and any family members who do not live in your household but whose
transactions in the Company’s securities are directed by you or are subject to your influence or control, such as parents or children who
consult with you before they trade in the Company’s securities. A “controlled entity” includes estates of which you are an executor; trusts
of which you are a trustee or have a beneficial or pecuniary interest; and partnerships, corporations, or other business entities that you
influence or control. References to the Company’s directors, officer or employees, or “you,” should be read to include the respective
family members and controlled entities of such persons. You are responsible for the transactions of these other persons or entities and
therefore should make them aware of the need to confer with you before they trade in Innovex securities, and you should treat all such
transactions for the purposes of this policy and applicable securities laws as if the transactions were for your own account.
3.2.
Speculative Transactions. It is against Company policy for directors, officers and employees to engage in speculative transactions in the
Company’s securities. As such, it is against Company policy for directors, officers and employees to trade in put options, call options, or other
derivatives in the Company’s securities, or sell the Company’s securities short. Short sales of the Company’s securities evidence an expectation
on the part of the seller that the securities will decline in value, and, therefore, signal to the market that the seller has no confidence in the
Company or its short-term prospects. In addition, short sales may reduce the seller’s incentive to improve the Company’s performance. In
addition, Section 16(c) of the Exchange Act prohibits officers and directors from engaging in short sales.
3.3.
Hedging Transactions. Directors, officers and employees are prohibited from hedging the Company’s securities (including through the
purchase of financial instruments, such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds), or otherwise
engaging in transactions, that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company’s securities
that you hold directly or indirectly.
3.4.
Pledging and Trading on Margin. Securities held in a margin account as collateral for a margin loan may be sold by the broker without the
customer’s consent if the customer fails to meet a margin call. Similarly, securities pledged (or hypothecated) as collateral for a loan may be
sold in foreclosure if the borrower defaults on the loan. Because a margin sale or foreclosure sale may occur at a time when the pledgor is
aware of material nonpublic information or otherwise is not permitted to trade in the Company’s securities, directors, officers and employees
are prohibited from holding the Company’s securities in a margin account or otherwise pledging the Company’s securities as collateral for a
loan.
3.5.
Blackout Periods. In addition to the general policy prohibiting trading while in possession of material nonpublic information, it is the
Company’s policy that all personnel who regularly have access to nonpublic financial information, directors and officers (and any other person
designated by the Company as subject to this provision) and their family members or controlled entities, are prohibited from purchasing,
selling, gifting or otherwise trading securities of the Company during the period beginning on the day 15 days prior to the end of a quarter and
ending after two full business days after earnings have been released with respect to such quarter (other than pursuant to a 10b5-1 Plan). In
addition, the Company may designate other blackout periods during which directors, officers and designated employees are prohibited from
purchasing, selling, gifting or otherwise trading securities of the Company due to their knowledge of material non-public information and may
not disclose to others that they are prohibited from such trading. Even if a blackout period is not in effect, persons subject to blackout periods
may not trade while in possession of material nonpublic information.
3.6.
Prior Notice Requirement for Directors, Officers and other Designated Employees. Directors, Section 16 officers (as defined below in Section
4.8 of this policy) and other designated employees of the Company shall not buy sell, gift or otherwise trade securities of the Company unless
they have provided to the General Counsel or Chief Financial Officer of the Company prior notification of the transaction by executing and
returning the Pre-Trade Clearance Form attached as Exhibit Ahereto at least two business days in advance of the transaction and, if applicable,
sufficient information to ensure that any required filings can be made with the SEC in connection with such transaction, and the General
Counsel or Chief Financial Officer has confirmed that no blackout period is in effect. If a transaction is approved, the transaction must be
executed within two business days after the approval is obtained, but regardless may not be executed if the individual acquires material
nonpublic information concerning the Company during that time. If a transaction is not completed within the period described above, the
transaction must be approved again before it may be executed.
3.7.
Post-Termination Transactions. The Company’s policy continues to apply even after an individual is no longer employed by or affiliated with
the Company. Thus, if an individual is in possession of material nonpublic information when his or her employment terminates, he or she may
not trade in Innovex securities until that information has become public or is no longer material.
3.8.
Company Transactions. From time to time, the Company may engage in transactions in its own securities. It is the Company’s policy to
comply with all applicable securities and state laws (including appropriate approvals by the Board of Directors or appropriate committee, if
required) when engaging in transactions in the Company’s securities.
4.0 10b5-1 Plan Guidelines
4.1.
The adoption of any 10b5-1 Plan must meet the requirements set forth below. These requirements are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the
requirements and conditions of Rule 10b5-1. The Company’s General Counsel will interpret and administer these requirements. The
compliance of any 10b5-1 Plan with the applicable SEC rules is the responsibility of the person entering into such plan. You are advised to
seek counsel if you choose to enter into a 10b5- 1 Plan. If you are a director or Section 16 officer, the Company is required to disclose the
material terms of your 10b5- 1 Plan, other than respect to price, in the periodic report for the quarter in which the 10b5-1 Plan is adopted,
terminated or modified (as described below).
4.2.
Pre-clearance Requirement. The 10b5-1 Plan must be reviewed and approved by the Company’s General Counsel prior to its adoption. If you
wish to implement a 10b5-1 Plan, you must first pre-clear the plan with the Company’s General Counsel at least five business days prior to the
entry into the plan in accordance with the procedures set forth above.
4.3.
Time of Adoption. Subject to pre-clearance requirements described above, the 10b5-1 Plan must be adopted at a time when you are not aware of
any material nonpublic information and a blackout period is not in effect (if you are subject to blackout periods).
4.4.
Plan Instructions. Any 10b5-1 Plan you adopt must either:
•
Specify the amount, price and date of the sales (or purchases) of the Company’s securities to be effected;
•
Provide a formula, algorithm or computer program for determining when to sell (or purchase) the Company’s securities, the
quantity to sell (or purchase) and the price; or
•
Delegate decision-making authority with regard to these transactions to a broker or other agent without any material nonpublic
information about the Company or its securities.
For the avoidance of doubt, you may not subsequently influence how, when, or whether to effect purchases or sales with respect to the
securities subject to an approved and adopted 10b5-1 Plan.
4.5.
In Writing and Signed. The 10b5-1 Plan must be in writing and signed by you.
4.6.
No Hedging. You may not have entered into or altered a corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the securities subject
to the 10b5-1 Plan and must agree not to enter into any such transaction while the 10b5-1 Plan is in effect.
4.7.
Good Faith Requirement. You must enter into the 10b5-1 Plan in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of
10b5-1 Plan. You must act in good faith with respect to the 10b5-1 Plan for the entirety of its duration.
4.8.
Certifications for Directors and Officers. If you are a director or officer (“Section 16 officer”), as defined in Rule 16a- 1(f) under the Exchange
Act, the 10b5-1 Plan must include the following certifications: (1) you are not aware of any material nonpublic information about the Company
or its securities; and (2) you are adopting the 10b5-1 Plan in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule
10b-5 under the Exchange Act.
4.9.
Cooling-off Period. The first trade under the 10b5-1 Plan may not occur until the expiration of a cooling-off period as follows:
•
If you are a director or Section 16 officer, the later of (1) two business days following the filing of the Form 10-Q or Form 10-K
for the completed fiscal quarter in which the 10b5-1 Plan was adopted and (2) 90 calendar days after adoption of the 10b5-1 Plan;
provided, however, that the required cooling-off period shall in no event exceed 120 days.
•
If you are not a director or Section 16 officer, 30 days after adoption of the 10b5-1 Plan.
4.10.
No Overlapping 10b5-1 Plans. No more than one 10b5-1 Plan can be effecting trades at a time (except eligible Sell- to-Cover Plans, as defined
below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, two separate 10b5-1 Plans can be in effect at the same time (but not trading at the same time) so long
as your later-commencing plan meets all the conditions set forth in Rule 10b5-1. Please consult the Company’s General Counsel with any
questions regarding overlapping plans. In addition, this restriction does not apply to a series of 10b5-1 Plans with different broker-dealers or
other agents acting on your behalf that are treated as a single 10b5-1 Plan, provided that such plans with each broker-dealer or other agent,
when taken together as a whole, meet all of the applicable conditions of, and remain collectively subject to, Exchange Act Rule 10b5-1(c)(1).
A Sell-to-Cover Plan is not subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 4.10. A “Sell-to-Cover Plan” is a contract, instruction, or
plan that authorizes an agent to sell only such securities as are necessary to satisfy tax withholding obligations arising exclusively from
the vesting of a compensatory award, such as restricted stock, restricted stock units or stock appreciation rights (but not options), and you
do not otherwise exercise control over the timing of such sales. Prior to adoption, a Sell-to-Cover Plan must meet all other requirements
set forth in this policy.
4.11.
Single-Trade Plan. Other than a Sell-to-Cover Plan as described in Section 4.10 above, you may not enter into more than one 10b5-1 Plan
designed to effect the open-market purchase or sale of the total amount of securities as a single transaction during any rolling 12-month period.
A single-trade plan is “designed to effect” the purchase or sale of securities as a single transaction when the terms of the plan would, for
practical purposes, directly or indirectly require execution in a single transaction.
4.12.
Modifications and Terminations. Modifications/amendments and terminations of an existing Rule 10b5-1 Plan are strongly discouraged due to
legal risks, and can affect the validity of trades that have taken place under the plan prior to such modification/amendment or termination.
Under Rule 10b5-1 and this policy, any modification/amendment to the amount, price, or timing of the purchase or sale of the securities
underlying the 10b5-1 Plan will be deemed to be a termination of the current 10b5-1 Plan and creation of a new 10b5-1 Plan. If you are
considering administerial changes to your 10b5-1 Plan, such as changing the account information or the broker administering your plan, you
should consult with the Company’s General Counsel in advance to confirm that any such change does not constitute an effective termination of
your plan.
As such, the modification/amendment of an existing 10b5-1 Plan must be reviewed and approved in advance by the Company’s General
Counsel in accordance with pre-clearance procedures set forth above, and will be subject to all the other requirements set forth in
Sections 4.2 - 4.11 regarding the adoption of a new 10b5-1 Plan.
The termination (other than through an amendment or modification) of an existing 10b5-1 Plan must be reviewed and approved in
advance by the Company’s General Counsel in accordance with pre-clearance procedures set forth above. The Company’s General
Counsel will not approve the termination of a 10b5-1 Plan unless:
•
You terminate a 10b5-1 Plan at a time when you are not aware of material nonpublic information; and
•
A blackout period is not in effect, if you are subject to blackout periods.
5.0 Policy on Maintaining Confidentiality
5.1.
All officers, directors and employees should avoid communicating nonpublic Company information to any person (including family members
and friends) unless the person has a need to know the information for Company-related reasons. This policy applies without regard to the
materiality of the information. Consistent with the foregoing, officers, directors and employees should be discreet with nonpublic information
and refrain from discussing it in public places where it can be overheard, such as elevators, restaurants and on public transportation. To avoid
even the appearance of impropriety, you should at all times refrain from providing advice or making recommendations regarding the purchase
or sale of Innovex securities or the securities of other companies of which you have knowledge as a result of employment or association with
Innovex. If an officer, director or employee communicates information that someone else uses to trade illegally in securities, the legal penalties
described in this policy are applicable, whether or not any personal benefit was derived from the illegal trading.
6.0 Compliance and Penalties
6.1.
Surveillance. The SEC, the New York Stock Exchange and the other national securities exchanges in the U.S. have extensive surveillance
facilities that are used to monitor trading in stocks and stock options. Frequently, these institutions have cooperative arrangements with
comparable institutions outside the U.S. If a security transaction becomes the subject of scrutiny, the transaction will be viewed after the fact.
As a result, before engaging in any transaction, all persons covered by this policy should carefully consider how regulators and others might
view the transaction with the benefit of hindsight.
6.2.
Penalties. The consequences of insider trading violations can be severe under U.S. law. The SEC takes the position that these laws apply to all
transactions in shares or options of companies listed for trading in the U.S., whether or not the actual trades take place in the U.S. For
individuals who trade on material nonpublic information (or tip information to others), penalties include:
1.A civil penalty of disgorgement, or return, of profit gained or loss avoided, plus a fine of up to three times the profit gained or loss
avoided;
2.A criminal fine of several times the amount of profits gained or losses avoided; and
3.A jail term of up to 20 years.
6.3.
In addition to civil and criminal penalties, persons contemporaneously trading at the time of a violation of the insider trading laws have the
right to sue the insider for an amount equal to the profit gained or loss avoided by the insider in such transaction, offset by any amounts the
insider is required to disgorge by the SEC.
6.4.
The Company and/or the supervisors of a person who violates these laws may also be subject to civil or criminal penalties if they did not take
appropriate steps to prevent illegal trading:
6.5.
Compliance. All officers, directors and employees of the Company must strictly comply with this policy. Moreover, no person should engage
in any transaction in which he or she may even appear to be trading while in possession of material nonpublic information. Failure to observe
this policy may result in serious legal difficulties for the employee, as well as the Company, including the possibility of civil suits by
stockholders. Persons violating this policy will be subject to disciplinary action, including, but not limited to, dismissal from the Company. A
violation of this policy is not necessarily the same as a violation of law and we may determine that specific conduct violates this policy,
whether or not the conduct also violates the law. We are not required to await the filing or conclusion of a civil or criminal action against an
alleged violator before taking disciplinary action. Should you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact the Company’s General
Counsel.

INNOVEX INTERNATIONAL, INC. CLAWBACK POLICY
Recoupment of Incentive-Based Compensation
It is the policy of Innovex International, Inc. (the “Company”) that, in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of the
Company’s financial statements due to the Company’s material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws
(including any such correction that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were
corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period), the Company will recover on a reasonably prompt basis the amount of any Incentive-
Based Compensation Received by a Covered Executive during the Recovery Period that exceeds the amount that otherwise would have been Received had it
been determined based on the restated financial statements.
Policy Administration and Definitions
This Clawback Policy (this “Policy”) is administered by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors (the
“Board”) and is intended to comply with, and as applicable to be administered and interpreted consistent with, and subject to the exceptions set forth in, Listing
Standard 303A.14 adopted by the New York Stock Exchange to implement Rule 10D-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (collectively,
“Rule 10D-1”). This Policy amends and restates the clawback policy adopted by the Company on October 2, 2023 (the “Prior Policy”) with respect to
Incentive-Based Compensation Received by a Covered Executive on or after February 25, 2025. The Prior Policy continues to apply to all annual cash incentive
awards and all performance-based equity awards Received prior to February 25, 2025.
For purposes of this Policy:
I.
“Incentive-Based Compensation” means any compensation granted, earned, or vested based in whole or in part on the Company’s attainment of a
financial reporting measure that was Received by a person (i) on or after February 25, 2025 and after the person began service as a Covered
Executive, and (ii) who served as a Covered Executive at any time during the performance period for the Incentive-Based Compensation. A financial
reporting measure is (i) any measure that is determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company’s
financial statements and any measure derived wholly or in part from such a measure, and (ii) any measure based in whole or in part on the
Company’s stock price or total shareholder return.
Incentive-Based Compensation is deemed to be “Received” in the fiscal period during which the relevant financial reporting measure is attained,
regardless of when the compensation is actually paid or awarded.
II.
“Covered Executive” means any “officer” of the Company as defined under Rule 16a-1(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and such other senior executives who may from time to time be deemed subject to the Policy by the Board or Committee.
III.
“Recovery Period” means the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date that the Company is required to prepare the accounting
restatement described in this Policy, all as determined pursuant to Rule
10D-1, and any transition period of less than nine months that is within or immediately following such three fiscal years.
If the Committee determines the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation Received by a Covered Executive during a Recovery Period exceeds the
amount that would have been Received if determined or calculated based on the Company’s restated financial results, such excess amount of Incentive-Based
Compensation shall be subject to recoupment by the Company pursuant to this Policy. For Incentive-Based Compensation based on stock price or total
shareholder return, where the amount of erroneously awarded compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in an
accounting restatement, the Committee will determine the amount based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the accounting restatement on the relevant
stock price or total shareholder return. In all cases, the calculation of the excess amount of Incentive-Based Compensation to be recovered will be determined
without regard to any taxes paid with respect to such compensation. The Company will maintain and will provide to the New York Stock Exchange
documentation of all determinations and actions taken in complying with this Policy. Any determinations made by the Committee under this Policy shall be
final and binding on all affected individuals.
The Company may effect any recovery pursuant to this Policy by requiring payment of such amount(s) to the Company, by set-off, by reducing
future compensation, or by such other means or combination of means as the Committee determines to be appropriate. The Company need not recover the
excess amount of Incentive-Based Compensation if and to the extent that the Committee determines that such recovery is impracticable, subject to and in
accordance with any applicable exceptions under the New York Stock Exchange listing rules, and not required under Rule 10D-1, including if the Committee
determines that the direct expense paid to a third party to assist in enforcing this Policy would exceed the amount to be recovered after making a reasonable
attempt to recover such amounts. The Company is authorized to take appropriate steps to implement this Policy with respect to Incentive-Based Compensation
arrangements with Covered Executives.
Any right of recoupment or recovery pursuant to this Policy is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies or rights of recoupment that may
be available to the Company pursuant to the terms of any other policy, any employment agreement or plan or award terms, and any other legal remedies
available to the Company; provided that the Company shall not recoup amounts pursuant to such other policy, terms or remedies to the extent it is recovered
pursuant to this Policy. The Company shall not indemnify any Covered Executive against the loss of any Incentive-Based Compensation (or provide any
advancement of expenses in such instance), including any payment or reimbursement for the cost of third-party insurance purchased by any Covered Executives
to fund potential recovery obligations under this Policy.
If any provision of this Policy is determined to be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law, such provision will be applied to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law and shall automatically be deemed amended in a manner consistent with its objectives to the extent necessary to conform to
any limitations required under applicable law. This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Covered Executives and their beneficiaries, heirs,
executors, administrators or other legal representatives.
Dated Effective: February 25, 2025
