Under the agreements, the Officers are provided with benefits under any
employee benefit plan maintained by Superior for its employees generally,
or for its executives and key management employees in particular, on the
same terms as are applicable to other senior executives of Superior.
In addition to salary and benefits, each of Messrs. Hall, Ravannack
and Blanchard receive an annual bonus calculated as a percentage of
Superior's year-end pre-tax, pre-bonus annual income ("Superior's Income")
and Mr. Funderburg receives an annual bonus calculated as a percentage of
one of Superior's subsidiaries', Superior Well Service, Inc.'s year-end

bonus is an amount equal to 1% of Superior's Income if Superior's Income is

Superior's Income if Superior's Income is greater than $2.0 million but
less than or equal to $2.25 million, or 3% of Superior's Income if

Mr. Hall's employment agreement will continue until December 13, 2000

agreement will automatically be extended for one additional year unless
Superior gives at least 90 days' prior notice that it does not wish to
extend the term. The term of Mr. Funderburg's employment agreement will
continue until April 30, 1999.
Each employment agreement provides for the termination of the
Officer's employment: (i) upon the Officer's death; (ii) by Superior or the
Executive upon the Officer's disability; (iii) by Superior for cause, which
includes willful and continued failure substantially to perform the
Officer's duties, or willful engaging in misconduct that is materially
injurious to Superior, provided, however, that prior to termination, the
Board of Directors must find that the Officer was guilty of such conduct;
or (iv) by the Officer for good reason, which includes a failure by
Superior to comply with any material provision of the agreement that has
not been cured after ten days' notice. For a period of two years after any
termination, the Officer will be prohibited from competing with Superior.
Upon termination due to death or disability, Superior will pay the
Officer all compensation owing through the date of termination and a
benefit in an amount equal to nine-month's salary. Upon termination by
Superior for cause or upon termination by the Officer for other than good
reason, the Officer will be entitled to all compensation owing through the
date of termination. Upon termination by the Officer for good reason, the
Officer will be entitled to all compensation owing through the date of
termination plus his current compensation and the highest annual amount
payable to the Officer under Superior's compensation plans multiplied by
the greater of two or the number of years remaining in the term of the
Officer's employment under the agreement. In addition, if the termination
arises out of a breach by Superior, Superior will pay all other damages to
which the Officer may be entitled as a result of such breach.
