Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling

connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </h3>

Item 4.
Description of Securities.
Geokinetics is authorized to
issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 (the "Common Stock"),
of which
10,148,367 shares were issued and outstanding as of  July 11, 2007 and 2,500,000 shares of
preferred stock, par value $10.00 (the "Preferred Stock"), of which 237,919
shares of Series B Preferred Stock, par value $10.00 (the "Series B Preferred
Stock"), were issued and outstanding as of July 11, 2007.  The following description of Geokinetics'
capital stock is based on the description of the capital stock in the
Geokinetics Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and currently in effect
(the "Certificate of Incorporation").
Common Stock
General
All
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable.
Dividend
Rights/Liquidation Rights
So
long as any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding,
Geokinetics may not pay or declare any dividends on the Common Stock unless
Geokinetics has paid, or at the same time pays or provides for the payment of,
all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock.
Voting Rights
The
holders of Common Stock have full voting rights on all matters requiring
stockholder action, with each share of Common Stock entitled to one vote.
Cumulative
Voting
Holders
of Common Stock are not entitled to cumulate votes in elections of directors.
Preemptive
Rights
No
holder of Common Stock has any preemptive right to subscribe to an additional
issue of any stock or to any security convertible into such stock.
Preferred
Stock
Geokinetics'
Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 2,500,000 shares of Preferred
Stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from
time to time by the Geokinetics' board of directors (the "Board").   Accordingly, the Board is empowered, without
stockholder approval, to issue Preferred Stock with dividend, liquidation,
conversion, redemption, sinking fund, voting or other rights that could
adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common
stock. Geokinetics may issue some or all of the Preferred Stock to effect a
business combination. In addition, the preferred stock could be utilized as a
method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of
Geokinetics.
Series
B Preferred Stock
Dividend
Rights
Each
holder of Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to receive cumulative
dividends at the rate of 8.0% per annum on the liquidation preference of
$250.00 per share, compounded quarterly. At Geokinetics' option, such dividends
may be paid in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock, instead of
cash, on any dividend payment date through October 31, 2011. After such
date, all dividends shall be paid in cash when, and if declared.
2
Liquidation
Rights
Each
holder of Series B Preferred Stock, in the event of Geokinetics'
liquidation, will be entitled to a preference over the holders of shares of
Common Stock, equal to $250.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments, plus
any accrued but unpaid dividends.
Redemption
Rights
At
any time after March 31, 2014, the holders of not less than a majority of
the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding may require upon
written notice to Geokinetics to redeem all of the outstanding shares of
Series B Preferred Stock, in cash, at a price equal to $250.00 per share,
plus any accrued but unpaid dividends ("Redemption Price").
Conversion
Rights
Each
share of Series B Preferred Stock is initially convertible into ten shares
of the Geokinetics Common Stock at the option of the holder. The number of
shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series B Preferred Stock
can be converted is subject to adjustment, from time to time, on the terms
described in Geokinetics' Certificate of Incorporation.
At
Geokinetics' option, each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible
into shares of Common Stock, immediately upon the sale of Common Stock at a
price per share yielding net proceeds to Geokinetics of not less then $35.00
per share in an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, which provides net proceeds to

Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware empowers the Registrant to indemnify
any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of the
fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and
in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of
the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had not
3
reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; except that, in the case of an action
or suit by or in the right of the Registrant, no indemnification may be made in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the Registrant unless and only to the extent that the
Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
proper expenses.
Article 12 of Geokinetics'
Certificate of Incorporation provides as follows:
(1)
The corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is
a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation)
by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful.  The termination of any action,
suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea
of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself create a presumption
that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to
believe that his conduct was unlawful.
(2)
The corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is
a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall
be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall
have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance
of his duty to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper.
(3)
To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in this Article, or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection therewith.
(4)
Any indemnification under parts (1) and (2) of this Article (unless
ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the
specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director,
officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met
the applicable standard of conduct set forth herein.  Such determination shall be made (a) by the
Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who
were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is
not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so
directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (c) by the
stockholders.
(5)
Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or
proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition
of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board
4
of
Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf
of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless it shall
ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation as authorized in this Article.
(6)
The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be
entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to
action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to
a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall
inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a
person.
(7)
The corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any person who is or was, a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him
and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such,
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against
such liability under the provisions of this Article.
(8)
For purposes of this Article, references to "the corporation" shall
include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation
(including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or
merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and
authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so
that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such
constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such
constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand
in the same position under the provisions of this Article with respect to the
resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such
constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
Article 6 of the Registrant's
Bylaws, provides, in substance, that any current or former directors, officers,
employees and agents, or any person who served or is serving at the request of
Geokinetics as a director, officer employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified to
the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of
Delaware.  In addition, the Bylaws
provide that such indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which such person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such person.
Geokinetics maintains
directors' and officers' liability and corporation reimbursement insurance for
the benefit of the company and its directors and officers.  The policy provides coverage for certain
amounts paid as indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Delaware law and
the Registrant's Bylaws.

Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(A)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(B)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
Registration Statement; and
(C)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided,
however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) do not apply if the
Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or S-8, and the information required in a
post-effective amendment is incorporated by reference from periodic reports
filed by the Registrant with the Commission under the Exchange Act.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
(b)
That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein,
6
and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.  In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities, (other than payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit of
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
