Ted Lee McIntyre, II (“McIntyre”) invented an oil field turbine stimulation pump that utilizes the split shaft turbine or free turbine to control the flow rate and fluid pressure during oilfield pumping operations (the “Invention”).

McIntyre owns or controls MTT and effective January 1, 2006, McIntyre entered into an exclusive license agreement with MTT (the “MTT License”), wherein McIntyre granted MTT an exclusive license to make, have made, use, offer for sale, and sell the Invention.

MTT utilizes turbine engines in connection with the Invention. For the purposes of this Agreement, “ TURBINE ENGINES ” means and refers to any turbine driven engine that MTT acquires and uses in conjunction with the Invention pursuant to its exclusive license under the MTT License, for use in the Well Service Business (defined herein) along with certain accessory equipment. For purposes hereof “accessory equipment” means the following equipment, either provided or assembled by MTT and which is included as part of or as an accessory to the Turbine Engines supplied by MTT under this Agreement; engine seal and gasket kits, N1 Tach generator, Kevlar blankets, brake kits, N 1 accessory drive pad, turbine charging system and batteries, intake screens, starter generator, couplings, exhaust tail pipes with ceramic insulation blanket , mechanical engine instrument package. Turbine Engines also refers to supportive maintenance manuals and the introductory training for the operation thereof, as well as any modified or improved version of such original version.

MTT currently has [***] Turbine Engines in its possession, and MTT will sell to HCI, and HCI will purchase these [***] Turbine Engines for the sum of [***] each. MTT previously sold [***] Turbine Engines to HCI for the sum of [***] each. These 35 Turbine Engines will be referred to as the Initial Turbine Engines.

Additionally, MTT will locate at least [***] additional Turbine Engines (the “Subsequent Turbine Engines”), and HCI will acquire the Subsequent Turbine Engines at the acquisition cost of the Subsequent Turbine Engines.
