PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

This PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 6^th day of July, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), by and among (a) Maverick Stimulation Company, LLC, Maverick Coil Tubing Services, LLC, MCM Holdings, LLC, Maverick Thru-Tubing Services, LLC, The Maverick Companies, LLC, Maverick Solutions, LLC and MSM Leasing, LLC (individually, a “Company” and collectively, the “Companies”), (b) ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (collectively, the “Primary Seller Group”) and the Employee/Members listed on Exhibit A (each member of the Primary Seller Group and each Employee/Member listed on Exhibit A shall individually be referred to as a “Seller” and collectively referred to as the “Sellers”), (c) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, as Sellers’ Representative and (d) Basic Energy Services, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Buyer”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

A. The Sellers own all of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Companies, with the percent of ownership of Equity Interests of each Seller in each Company being set forth on Exhibit B hereto.

▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ desire to sell their Equity Interests in the Companies to Buyer and Buyer desires to purchase the Equity Interests from the Sellers.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the preliminary statements above and of the mutual agreements, covenants, representations, and warranties contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Glossary attached hereto as Annex I.

ARTICLE II
PURCHASE OF EQUITY INTERESTS

Section 2.1 The Purchase.

(a) Purchase Price. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Buyer hereby agrees to purchase from the Sellers 100% of the Equity Interests of each Seller in each of the Companies, and each Seller hereby agrees to sell 100% of the Equity Interests owned by such Seller in each of the Companies, as applicable, to Buyer, free and clear of all Indebtedness, for One Hundred Eighty Million Dollars ($180,000,000), as adjusted in accordance with Sections 2.1(c) and (d) and for the payment of any Indebtedness in accordance with Section 5.2 (g)(the “Purchase Price”).

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

(b) Walk-A-Way Deposit. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Companies and the Sellers, Buyer and The Maverick Companies, LLC shall instruct ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Escrow Agent”) to deposit by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to $3,600,000 (the “Walk-A-Way Deposit”) that was being held pursuant to that certain Escrow Agreement, dated June 1, 2011, by and between Buyer, The Maverick Companies, LLC and Escrow Agent, into an escrow account pursuant to an Escrow Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Deposit Escrow Agreement”). If none of the Sellers or the Companies are in breach of the covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of such Sellers and the Companies in this Agreement and the Companies and all of the conditions set forth in Sections 5.4(a), (b) and (e) (other than any condition that, by its terms, is to be satisfied at Closing) have been satisfied or waived, then the Walk-A-Way Deposit must be paid to the Companies by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Escrow Agreement to the accounts designated by The Maverick Companies, LLC upon the first to occur of (i) the Termination Date, (ii) the date this Agreement is terminated by Sellers’ Representative pursuant to Sections 5.7(a)(iii) or (iii) the failure by Buyer to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in Sections 5.5(a) and (b). If Buyer is not in breach of its covenants, agreements, representations and warranties in this Agreement and all of the conditions set forth in Sections 5.5(a) and (b) have been satisfied or waived, then the Walk-A-Way Deposit must be paid to Buyer by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Escrow Agreement upon the first to occur of (A) the date this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.7(a)(ii) or (B) the failure by the Sellers and the Companies to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in Sections 5.4(a), (b) and (e) (other than any condition that, by its terms, is to be satisfied at Closing) prior to the Termination Date and Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.7(a)(iv). Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that (x) the agreements contained in this Section 2.1(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (y) the damages resulting from termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Walk-A-Way Deposit is payable are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation and therefore, the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) are not a penalty, but rather are liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Companies for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision; and (z) without the agreements contained in this Section 2.1(b), the parties would not have entered into this Agreement.

(c) Adjustments. No more than three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers’ Representative will prepare and deliver to Buyer (i) an estimated consolidated balance sheet for the Companies as of the Closing Date, together with supporting or back-up schedules and documentation reasonably requested by Buyer (the “Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheets”) and (ii) a calculation and statement of the estimated Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date, the estimated Net Distributable Proceeds and the Pro Rata Share payable to each Seller calculated from the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet (the “Estimated Statement”). The Sellers’ Representative will prepare the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Estimated Statement in good faith and in accordance with GAAP, applied consistently with the past practices of the Companies, in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and consistent with the principles, procedures and sample calculation set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) (the “Working Capital Schedule”), subject to Buyer’s good faith review and

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

reasonable satisfaction. In the event of any conflict between GAAP and the Working Capital Schedule, the Working Capital Schedule shall control. If the Net Working Capital set forth on the Estimated Statement (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”) is positive, then the Purchase Price and the Net Distributable Proceeds shall be increased on a dollar for dollar basis by an amount equal to such excess. If the Estimated Net Working Capital is negative, then the Purchase Price and the Net Distributable Proceeds shall be decreased on a dollar for dollar basis by an amount equal to such deficiency. Any increase or decrease in the Purchase Price based on working capital adjustments will be payable at Closing.

By way of illustration, the preliminary calculation of the Net Working Capital using the March 31, 2011 Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Companies is set forth on the Working Capital Schedule.

(d) Post Closing Matters. As soon as practicable but in no event later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date (the “Determination Date”), Buyer will prepare and deliver to Sellers’ Representative (i) a consolidated balance sheet for the Companies as of the Closing Date, together with supporting or back-up schedules and documentation reasonably requested by Sellers’ Representative (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) and (ii) a calculation and statement of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Statement”). Buyer will prepare the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Statement in good faith and in a manner consistent with the procedure used to prepare the Working Capital Schedule, subject to the Sellers’ Representative’s good faith review and reasonable satisfaction. Sellers’ Representative may submit to Buyer, not later than fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the Closing Date Statement from Buyer, a notice setting forth, in reasonable detail, a list of any items or components in the Closing Date Statement with which Sellers’ Representative disagrees (a “Dispute Notice”), in which case the disagreement shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.1(g). If Sellers’ Representative does not issue a Dispute Notice prior to such date, the Closing Date Statement, as supplied to Sellers’ Representative, shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed to by the Sellers’ Representative, and shall be final and binding on the parties to this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Final Closing Statement” shall mean the Closing Date Statement, if such Closing Date Statement is undisputed, or, if it is disputed, the Closing Date Statement that is finally resolved in accordance with this Section 2.1(d) and Section 2.1(g).

(e) Distribution of Holdback to Buyer. If the Net Working Capital set forth in the Final Closing Statement is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly release the amount of such deficiency from the Holdback Amount to Buyer in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. If the amount of such deficiency owed to Buyer is less than the Holdback Amount, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly distribute to the Sellers, at the direction of the Sellers’ Representative, the remainder of the Holdback Amount in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. If the Holdback Amount is insufficient to satisfy the amount of such deficiency, the Buyer shall be entitled to deduct the amount of such deficiency in excess of the Holdback Amount from the Escrow Payment.

(f) Distribution of Holdback to Sellers’ Representative. If the Net Working Capital as set forth in the Final Closing Statement is equal to or more than the Estimated Net Working Capital, then

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

the Escrow Agent shall promptly distribute the Holdback Amount to Sellers’ Representative in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and Buyer shall promptly pay to the Sellers’ Representative the excess of the Net Working Capital over the Estimated Net Working Capital, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided to Buyer by the Sellers’ Representative on or prior to the Closing Date. The Sellers’ Representative shall pay such excess to the Sellers in accordance with each Seller’s Pro Rata Share percentage set forth on Schedule 2.2(a), as such percentage may be adjusted (in the Sellers’ Representative’s reasonable discretion), based on the final Net Working Capital and final Closing Date Statement to reflect changes in each Company’s relative net working capital (the “Final Pro Rata Share”).

(g) Arbitration Accountant. If a Dispute Notice is timely delivered to Buyer by Sellers’ Representative, Buyer and Sellers’ Representative will, during the fifteen (15) days following delivery of the Dispute Notice, use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items on the Closing Date Statement, which amounts must be within the ranges thereof shown in the Dispute Notice and the amounts thereof shown in the Closing Date Statement. If after such 15-day period, there are remaining items in dispute with respect to the Closing Date Statement, Buyer and Seller’s Representative shall promptly thereafter cause an independent accounting firm of recognized national or regional standing to be mutually agreed upon by Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representative, on the other hand, acting reasonably and in good faith, or if Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to agree as to such independent accounting firm within five (5) days after the conclusion of such 15-day period, either Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representative, on the other hand, may request that the American Arbitration Association appoint an independent third party accounting firm meeting the aforementioned requirements to resolve the dispute (in either case, the “Arbitrating Accountant”), to review this Agreement and the remaining disputed items or amounts on the Closing Date Statement. Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall submit to the Arbitrating Accountant a statement detailing their position as to the nature and amount of each item remaining in dispute and setting forth their calculation of the Net Working Capital and any other items on the Closing Date Statement as of the Closing Date. The Arbitrating Accountant shall make its written determination of the existence of any disputed items or the amounts thereof on the Closing Date Statement, which determination must be limited to items set forth in, and within the range of the amounts thereof shown in, the statements submitted by the parties. The Independent Accounting Firm will deliver to Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative, as promptly as practicable, a report setting forth, in reasonable detail, its written determination of the Closing Date Statement and the Net Working Capital as of the Closing. Such report will be the Final Closing Statement and will be binding upon the parties. The cost of the Arbitrating Accountant’s review and report will be borne by Buyer, on the one hand, and by the Seller’s Representative on behalf of the Sellers, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the dollar amount of the disputed items or amounts that are not resolved in favor of Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representative, on the other hand (as applicable), bears to the total dollar amount of items or amounts in dispute resolved by the Arbitrating Accountant. Each party will bear all of its other expenses incurred in connection with matters contemplated by this Section 2.1(g).

Section 2.2 Payment of the Purchase Price.

(a) The Estimated Statement will list the estimated amount of the Net Distributable Proceeds and each Seller’s Pro Rata Share. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay each Seller’s Pro Rata Share by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank accounts designated by the Sellers’ Representative. The Sellers (by their execution hereof) acknowledge that any payments by Buyer to (or at the direction of ) the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Sellers constitute payment to the Sellers.

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

(b) On the Closing Date, Buyer shall deposit by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Escrow Payment and the Holdback Amount into separate escrow accounts pursuant to the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Escrow Agreement”) for and on behalf of the Sellers and the Buyer, as their interests may appear. The Escrow Payment shall be held in escrow following Closing subject to the provisions of Article VI hereof and pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Escrow Agreement and shall be used exclusively for the payment of any obligations of the Sellers under the provisions of Article VI and for adjustments to the Net Working Capital to the extent the Holdback Amount is insufficient. Buyer will pay, or cause to be paid out of the Purchase Price, all Indebtedness in full at the Closing. In order to facilitate any payments of the Indebtedness by Buyer, Sellers’ Representative shall cause the Companies to obtain payoff letters, at least three (3) business days before the Closing, for all Indebtedness, which payoff letters will indicate that such parties have agreed to release their applicable Liens (or other claims) upon receipt of the amounts indicated in such payoff letters. The Holdback Amount shall be used exclusively for adjustments to the Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 2.1(c) held in escrow pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Escrow Agreement until such time (the “Holdback Period”) as the Final Closing Statement is determined pursuant to Section 2.1(d), at which time the Holdback Amount shall be disbursed pursuant to Sections 2.1(e) and (f) and the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(c) The Escrow Payment (to the extent the Holdback Amount is insufficient therefor) and the Holdback Amount will be utilized to adjust for deficiencies in the Net Working Capital.

Section 2.3 Tax Consequences and Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) For federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, the purchase and sale of the Equity Interests hereunder shall be treated with respect to Sellers as a purchase and sale of their Equity Interests, and with respect to Buyer as a purchase and sale of the assets of the Companies, in accordance with Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-1 C.B. 432.

(b) Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall agree on an allocation of the Purchase Price (as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, and including any liabilities deemed to be assumed) among the assets of each of the Companies within ninety (90) days after the final determination of the Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 2.1, which allocation shall be made in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code (such allocation, as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, the “Purchase Price Allocation”). If Sellers’ Representative and Buyer are unable to agree on such allocation within such ninety (90) day period, then the allocation shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.1(g) as if it were a dispute regarding a Net Working Capital adjustment. Neither Buyer, the Sellers nor the Sellers’ Representative shall take or cause to be taken any position or other action inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation determined under this Agreement for any Tax reporting purpose (including, without limitation, for purposes of Sections 741 and 751 of the Code), upon examination of any Tax Return, in any refund claim, or in any litigation, investigation or otherwise, unless otherwise required by a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar provision of other applicable Law).

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

Section 2.4 Withholding Rights. For any Seller that does not supply the required Federal Tax Identification Number, Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price otherwise payable hereunder to any Seller any amounts that Buyer is required to deduct and withhold with respect to payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Seller.

(ii) As of the Closing Date, each of the Sellers will represent and warrant that such Seller has not previously assigned or transferred, or purported to assign or transfer, to any Person or entity whatsoever all or any part of the claims, demands, liabilities, responsibilities, disputes, causes of action or obligations released herein. Each of the Sellers covenants and agrees that such Seller will not assign or transfer to any Person or entity whatsoever all or any part of the claims, demands, liabilities, responsibilities, disputes, causes of action or obligations to be released herein. Each of the Sellers represents and warrants that such Seller has read and understands all of the provisions of this section and that such Seller has been represented by legal counsel of such Seller’s own choosing in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement.

(iii) The release provided by the Sellers pursuant to this section shall apply notwithstanding that the matter for which release is provided may relate to the ordinary, sole or contributory negligence, gross negligence, willful misconduct or violation of Law by a released party, including Buyer, its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents, and for liabilities based on theories of strict liability, and shall be applicable whether or not negligence of the released party is alleged or proven, it being the intention of the parties to release the released party from and against its ordinary, sole and contributory negligence and gross negligence as well as liabilities based on the willful actions or omissions of the released party and liabilities based on theories of strict liability.

(h) Tax Matters.

(i) Sellers’ Representative shall prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) the final Tax Return on Form 1065 (and any similar form under applicable state and local Law) of each of the Companies for the Tax period ending on the Closing Date.

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

(ii) Buyer shall, in accordance with the past practice of the Companies, prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) all Tax Returns of the Companies (other than Tax Returns described in Section 5.6(h)(i)) that relate to periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date and that are required to be filed after the Closing Date (after taking into account extensions therefor). Buyer shall provide Sellers’ Representative with a copy of each such Tax Return prior to the filing thereof for Sellers’ Representative’s review and approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Sellers’ Representative shall cooperate with Buyer as reasonably requested by Buyer in the preparation of such Tax Returns.

(iii) After the Closing Date, each of Buyer, the Companies, and the Sellers shall cooperate fully in preparing any Tax Returns of each of the Companies and in preparing for any audits of, or disputes or litigation with, taxing authorities regarding any Tax Returns with respect to any of the Companies and make available to the other parties and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested all information and documents relating to Taxes of the Companies.

(iv) In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes with respect to the portion thereof ending on the Closing Date, (A) in the case of Taxes based on or measured by income, sales, gross receipts, wages, transfers or other taxable events, shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the Closing Date, and (B) in the case of any other Tax, shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Straddle Period

(v) Buyer shall pay, and shall indemnify Sellers from and against all sales, use, transfer, Equity Interest transfer, real property transfer, and recording Taxes, and other similar Taxes and fees arising directly out of the Transactions.

(i) Public Announcement. Buyer has previously issued a news release concerning the Transactions and Buyer (or its parent) has made filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing the Transaction. Sellers and the Company agree that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.6(a)(iii) to the contrary, Buyer may make additional public disclosure regarding the Transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, by means of an additional news release or in filings made by Buyer (or its parent company) with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in connection with any offering of securities by Buyer or Buyer’s parent company and, if such disclosure involves confidential information concerning the Companies or the Seller, such disclosure shall be subject to Buyer providing a copy of any news release or filing in advance and Buyer agrees to correct any incorrect statements identified by the Companies prior to such public disclosure. In addition, the Sellers and the Companies agree to provide to Buyer (at Buyer’s sole cost and expense) such information as Buyer reasonably requests in connection with the preparation and distribution of disclosure documents to be used in connection with any securities offerings of Buyer (or its parent) and the Sellers and the Companies consent to the disclosure of such information in connection with any such offering.

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

(j) Termination of Certain Agreements. Except for the agreements listed on Schedule 5.6(j) hereto, effective prior to or as of the Closing, the Sellers and the Companies (as applicable) shall have terminated or cancelled all existing agreements between the Companies, on the one hand, and the Sellers or their respective Affiliates, on the other hand. Furthermore, any and all options to acquire Equity Interests (whether vested or unvested) shall automatically terminate.

(k) Employee Matters. Active employees of the Companies as of the Closing who are legally eligible to work in the United States of America, successfully pass Buyer’s pre-employment drug screening, and otherwise qualify for employment with Buyer will be eligible for employment with Buyer or employment by Buyer, subject to Buyer’s standard employment requirements. The Companies’ employees employed by the Companies or Buyer immediately following Closing will be eligible to participate in Buyer’s employee benefit programs, i.e., 401(k), health plan, vision insurance, life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, long-term disability, short-term disability, and supplemental insurance, subject to the eligibility requirements of each plan, including, where applicable, any waiting period requirements. Notwithstanding the above, no employee of a Company employed by Buyer immediately following Closing who was participating in the Companies’ group health plan at the time of Closing, nor any participating eligible dependent of such employee, will suffer a lapse in group health coverage during any waiting period required by Buyer’s health plan. For the purpose of determining eligibility to participate, vesting, accrual of and entitlement to benefits (including, without limitation, determining rate of accrual for Paid Time Off and any health plan premium discount, but not for accrual of benefits under any “defined benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(35) of ERISA) and all other purposes, all service with the Companies and their Subsidiaries and ERISA Affiliates (and predecessor employers to the extent any Company, Company Subsidiary or ERISA Affiliate or an analogous Companies’ Employee Plan provides past service credit) prior to the Closing will be credited as service with Buyer and its Subsidiaries. To the extent permitted under applicable Law, Buyer shall cause each of Buyer’s benefit programs that is an “employee welfare benefit plan,” within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA, in which any of the Companies’ employees (or the spouse or any dependent of any such employee) participates or becomes eligible to participate after the Closing (i) to waive any and all eligibility waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements, pre-existing condition limitations and other exclusions and limitations with respect to the Companies’ employees and their spouses and dependents to the extent waived, satisfied or not included under the analogous Companies’ Employee Plan, and (ii) to recognize for each Company employee and his or her spouse and dependents for purposes of applying annual deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket maximums under such plan any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket expenses paid by such employee and his or her spouse and dependents under the analogous Companies’ Employee Plan during the plan year of such Companies’ Employee Plan in which occurs the later of the Closing Date and the date on which the continuing employee begins participating in such Buyer plan.

(l) HSR Filing. Prior to the date of this Agreement, the parties have made the initial filings required under the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to make all subsequent filings and submissions required under the HSR Act requested of Buyer and deemed commercially prudent by the Sellers’ Representative, in order to consummate the Transactions. In furtherance of the foregoing, each

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

party will (i) promptly comply with any additional request for documents or information relating thereto, (ii) cooperate and cause its Affiliates (as required) to cooperate and assist in such filings and compliance, (iii) keep each other reasonably informed regarding the content of any communication to or from any Governmental Entity or representative with respect thereto, and (iv) defend against any action of any Governmental Entity or other Person that attempts to enjoin the Transactions; provided, however, that the parties’ obligations hereunder shall not be interpreted to require any party to divest assets with a value in excess of $1,800,000. As part of such filings, each party will request early termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act and will, and will cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. Each party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as any Governmental Entity or any other Person may assert under relevant antitrust and competition Laws with respect to the Transaction. The parties shall not take any action with the intention to or that such party believes would reasonably be expected to hinder or delay the obtaining of clearance or any necessary approval of any Governmental Entity under applicable antitrust and competition Laws, the expiration of any required waiting period thereunder or the early termination of any such waiting period.

(m) For a period of seven (7) years following the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Companies (or their successors) to maintain in effect in the applicable Company’s organizational documents the provisions regarding limitation of liability and indemnification of current and former directors, officers and employees, and trustees or administrators of any of the Companies’ benefit plans, and the advancement of expenses incurred, contained in the organizational documents of the Companies, as applicable, immediately prior to the Closing and shall honor and fulfill to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law such limitation of liability and indemnification obligations. Subsequent to the Closing, Buyer also agrees to cause the Companies to indemnify and advance expenses to current and former directors, officers and employees of the Companies and trustees or administrators of the Companies’ benefit plans, to the same extent as provided in the preceding sentence. For a period of at least seven (7) years following the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Companies to maintain (or cause to be maintained), in effect, either (i) the current policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Companies (provided, that the Buyer may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous in any material respect to the insured parties thereunder) with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the Closing (including consummation of the Transactions) or (ii) a run off (i.e., “tail”) policy or endorsement with respect to the current policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering claims asserted within seven (7) years after the Closing arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the Closing (including consummation of the Transactions). Such policies or endorsements shall name as insureds thereunder all current and former directors and officers of the Companies. From and after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall cause the Companies to abide by and honor each of the Companies’ contractual obligations, if any, to provide directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to any other Person, to the extent of such contractual obligation. It is expressly agreed that each Person to whom this Section relates will be a third party beneficiary of this Section. The premiums for any such insurance coverage shall not be deducted (without duplication) in determining Net Working Capital except to the extent paid before Closing. Buyer shall not cancel, amend or modify any such policies without the consent of all Persons covered by such policy.

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

(n) Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article III and Article III-A (which, for the avoidance of doubt, are qualified by any related item in the Schedules), the Companies and the Sellers are not making, and shall not be deemed to have made and nor will any Seller (or any other Person) have or be subject to any liability or damages arising out of, relating to or resulting from, any other representations or warranties, written or oral, statutory, express or implied (including with respect to merchantability or suitability or fitness for any particular purpose), as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Equity Interests, the Companies, the Sellers, or the business, assets (including the condition, value, quality or suitability of any assets or the business) or liabilities of the Companies and the Buyer, including in each case regarding (i) any information or document given or made available (or not given or made available) to Buyer or any Person on Buyer’s behalf regarding any of the Companies, (ii) the effect of any of the Transactions on the business of Buyer or on any of the Companies or the reaction thereto of any Person or (iii) any Forward Looking Statement (including any underlying assumption). Buyer hereby expressly assumes all risks arising out of, relating to or resulting from, and Buyer hereby disclaims all reliance upon, the matters in the preceding sentence (other than as expressly made in Article III and Article III-A) and Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Buyer is acquiring the Equity Interests and the Companies and such other assets and interests on an “as is, where is” basis. BUYER REPRESENTS, WARRANTS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ARTICLE III AND ARTICLE III-A, NONE OF THE COMPANIES OR ANY SELLER HAVE MADE, AND EACH COMPANY AND EACH SELLER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM AND NEGATE, AND EACH OF BUYER AND ITS AFFILIATES HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND IS NOT RELYING ON, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AT COMMON LAW, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO, AND EACH OF BUYER AND ITS AFFILIATES HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND RELINQUISHES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS, CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH, THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS OR MATERIALITY OF ANY STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, DATA OR OTHER MATERIALS (WRITTEN OR ORAL) OR DOCUMENTS HERETOFORE FURNISHED OR MADE AVAILABLE TO BUYER AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES AND AFFILIATES BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANIES AND THE SELLERS. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH EXPRESSLY IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLERS DISCLAIM ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY RELATING TO THE EQUITY INTERESTS OR ANY ASSET (TANGIBLE, INTANGIBLE OR MIXED) OF THE COMPANIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS, NONINFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

(a) Termination Rights. The obligation of the parties to close the Transactions and this Agreement may be terminated as follows:

(i) at any time, by mutual agreement of Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative;

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

any of the Companies or any of the Sellers of any agreements and covenants of any of the Companies and the Sellers herein contained or if there shall have been a material breach by any of the Sellers or the Companies (individually or in the aggregate) of any of the warranties and representations of the Sellers or Companies herein contained, in each case in a manner that would have a Material Adverse Effect, and such default or breach has not been waived by Buyer or has not been cured to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction within ten (10) business days after receipt by the Sellers from Buyer of written notice of its intention to terminate pursuant to this Section 5.7(a)(ii);

(iii) at any time, by the Sellers’ Representative, if a material default shall be made by Buyer in the observance or in the due and timely performance by Buyer of any agreements and covenants of Buyer herein contained or if there shall have been a breach by Buyer of any of the warranties and representations of Buyer herein contained and such default or breach has not been waived or has not been cured to the Sellers’ Representative reasonable satisfaction within ten (10) days after receipt by Buyer from the Sellers of written notice of its intention to terminate pursuant to this Section 5.7(a)(iii); or

(iv) by Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Termination Date or such other date as the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative may agree upon, except in the case of a termination by Buyer, if a failure or impossibility to effect the Closing has been proximately caused by the Buyer breaching any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or, in the case of a termination by the Sellers’ Representative, if a failure or impossibility to effect the Closing has been proximately caused by the Sellers or the Companies breaching any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

(b) Liability Upon Termination. Subject to the payment of the Walk-A-Way Deposit pursuant to Section 1.2(b), if the obligation to close the Transactions is terminated pursuant to any provision of Section 5.7(a) hereof, then this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall not be any liability or obligation with respect to the terminated provisions of this Agreement on the part of the Sellers or Buyer, except that the Confidentiality Agreement will survive such termination and except and to the extent that such termination results from the willful and intentional breach by a party of any of its representations, warranties or agreements hereunder. The termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party of its obligations under this Section 5.7(b).

(c) Notice of Termination. The parties hereto may exercise their respective rights of termination under this Section 5.7 only by delivering written notice to that effect to the other party or parties, and such notice is received on or before the Closing Date.

ARTICLE VI
SURVIVAL AND INDEMNITY

Section 6.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. Subject to the limitations contained in this Article VI, all of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

contained in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall survive the Closing as follows:

(a) All of the representations and warranties made by the Companies in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, and 3.15 of this Agreement shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations. All of the representations and warranties made by the Sellers in Article III-A of this Agreement shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations;

(b) All other representations and warranties made by Sellers or the Companies under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall survive for a period ending twelve (12) months following the Closing Date;

(c) All of the representations and warranties made by Buyer herein shall survive for a period ending twelve (12) months following the Closing Date; and

(d) All of the covenants, agreements and other obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations.

It is the express intent of the parties that, if the applicable survival period for an item as contemplated by this Article VI is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such item, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such item shall be reduced to the shortened survival period contemplated hereby. The parties further acknowledge that the time periods set forth in this Article VI for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of arms’-length negotiation among the parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the parties.

Section 6.2 Indemnification by the Sellers. Subject to the limitations of this Article VI, from and after the Closing Date, each Seller, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify, save, defend and hold harmless the Buyer from and against any and all costs, lawsuits, losses, liabilities, deficiencies, claims and expenses, including interest, penalties, attorneys’ fees and all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing (collectively referred to herein as “Damages”), incurred in connection with or arising out of or resulting from or incident to any (a) breach of any covenant of any of the Companies or the Sellers; (b) breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of the Companies or the Sellers set forth in this Agreement or (c) any matter (if any) identified by the Sellers’ Representative on Schedule 6.2(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement “Damages” shall include only actual direct damages and shall not include any consequential, incidental, special, indirect or punitive damages.

The parties acknowledge and agree that the representations and warranties contained in Article III-A and the covenants and agreements made by each Seller (except as provided above) in this Agreement are made individually by each Seller as to itself or himself only, and any Seller who has breached any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement as to itself or himself shall be liable with respect to all Damages as a result of the breach thereof to the extent such Damages are proximately caused by such breach, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VI, and no other Seller shall be liable with respect to such Damages. In no event will

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

Buyer or any other Person be entitled to indemnification for the same Damages from more than one source. Subject to the other limitations set forth in this Article VI, the parties further acknowledge and agree that the Sellers’ indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to breaches of the representations and warranties of the Companies contained in Article III and the covenants and agreements of the Companies contained herein that are to be performed on or prior to the Closing shall be the joint and several obligations of each member of the Primary Seller Group.

Section 6.3 Indemnification by the Buyer. Subject to the limitations of this Article VI, from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall indemnify, save, defend and hold harmless the Sellers from and against any and all Damages incurred in connection with or arising out of or resulting from or incident to any (a) breach of any covenant of Buyer or (b) breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of Buyer set forth in this Agreement.

Section 6.4 Defense of Claims. If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against any party entitled to the benefit of indemnity hereunder, or any claim to Damages is to be asserted hereunder, written notice thereof describing such lawsuit, enforcement action or claim in reasonable detail and indicating the amount (estimated, if necessary) or good faith estimate of the reasonably foreseeable estimated amount of Damages (which estimate shall in no way limit the amount of indemnification the indemnified party is entitled to receive hereunder), shall be given to the indemnifying party as promptly as practicable (and in any event within ten (10) days, after the service of the citation or summons) and prior to the expiration of the survival periods set forth in Section 6.1 (“Notice of Action”); provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give timely notice shall not affect its rights to indemnification hereunder to the extent that the indemnified party demonstrates that the amount the indemnified party is entitled to recover exceeds the actual damages to the indemnifying party caused by such failure to so notify within ten (10) days and provided that such notice is given prior to the expiration of the survival periods set forth in Section 6.1. The indemnifying party may elect to compromise or defend any such asserted liability and to assume all obligations contained in this Section 6.4 (subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VI) to indemnify the indemnified party by a delivery of notice of such election (“Notice of Election”) within ten (10) days after delivery of the Notice of Action. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VI, upon delivery of the Notice of Election, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit, action or claim and to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same, at the indemnifying party’s sole cost, risk and expense, and the indemnified party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects, at the indemnifying party’s sole cost, risk and expense, with the indemnifying party and such attorneys in the investigation, trial, and defense of such lawsuit, action or claim and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the indemnified party may, at its own cost, risk and expense, participate in such investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit, action or claim and any appeal arising therefrom. If a Notice of Election is delivered to the indemnified party, the indemnified party shall not pay, settle or compromise such claim without the indemnifying party’s consent. The indemnifying party may pay, settle or compromise any such claim in its sole discretion; provided that the indemnifying party may not pay, settle or compromise any such claim without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), if the indemnified party is not given a full and complete release of any and all liability and if the claim involves remedies against the indemnified party other than the payment of monetary Damages. If the indemnifying

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

party elects not to defend the claim of the indemnified party or does not deliver to the indemnified party a Notice of Election within ten (10) days after delivery of the Notice of Action, the indemnified party may, but shall not be obligated to defend, or the indemnified party may compromise or settle (exercising reasonable business judgment) the claim or other matter on behalf, for the account, and at the risk, of the indemnifying party but subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VI.

Section 6.5 Indemnification Deductible. The parties shall not be entitled to indemnification under the provisions of this Article VI for any breaches of representations, warranties, covenants or agreements by any other party for any individual claim less than $50,000 (the “Minimum Claim Amount”), and until such time as the total of all individual claims exceeding the Minimum Claim Amount, and are therefore subject to indemnification, exceed $1,000,000 (the “Deductible”), at which time the indemnified party will be entitled to indemnification only for the amounts exceeding the Deductible.

Section 6.6 Limitations on Indemnification. Sellers’ and Buyer’s aggregate liability for indemnification obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be as follows:

(a) For breaches and inaccuracies of representations and warranties made by the Companies pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.14 and by the Sellers under Article III-A, the Sellers shall not be obligated to indemnify Buyer for any amounts that, when aggregated with all other indemnification claims against the Sellers pursuant to this Article VI, exceed each Seller’s Pro Rata Share;

(b) For breaches and inaccuracies of all other representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by the Sellers in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Sellers, in the aggregate, shall not be obligated to indemnify Buyer for any amounts that, when aggregated with all other indemnification claims against the Sellers pursuant to this Article VI, exceed $13,500,000; and

(c) For breaches and inaccuracies of all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by the Buyer in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, Buyer shall not be obligated to indemnify Sellers for any amounts that, when aggregated with all other indemnification claims against the Buyer pursuant to this Article VI, exceed $13,500,000.

(d) No party may bring any claim for indemnification under this Article VI to the extent notice of such claim is sent after the expiration of the survival periods set forth in Section 6.1. Any Damages for which a party would otherwise be obligated to provide indemnification hereunder will be offset to the extent such Damages are reflected in the adjustments to the Purchase Price under Article II or to the extent such party has already recovered Damages with respect to such matter pursuant to another provision of this Agreement. Until the Escrow Payment has been depleted, the Escrow Payment will be the sole source of funds from which to satisfy all indemnification claims hereunder and no claim may be made against any individual Seller until such time. In no event will any Seller’s aggregate liability for Damages under this Article VI or otherwise exceed, in the aggregate, such Seller’s Pro Rata Share.

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

Section 6.7 Other Matters Pertaining to Indemnification.

(a) Each Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate all Damages after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Damages that are indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder or in connection herewith, including refraining from encouraging or soliciting any Third Party Claim. The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Article VI shall be net of (i) any amounts actually recovered by the indemnified party under insurance policies in effect and applicable to such Damages (it being agreed that the indemnified party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain recovery under such insurance policies), and (ii) any amounts received by the indemnified party from any Third Party in respect of such Damages and (iii) any Tax Benefit received by the indemnified party as a result of any Damages. Buyer shall, and shall cause the Companies to, seek full recovery under all insurance policies and other collateral sources covering any Damages to the same extent as they would if such Damages were not subject to indemnification hereunder, and Buyer shall not, and shall cause the Companies not to, terminate or cancel any insurance policies in effect for periods prior to the Closing. If an insurance or other recovery is made by Buyer or any of the Companies or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to any Damages for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery (net of all direct collection expenses) shall be made promptly to the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of each Seller in accordance with the instructions of the Sellers’ Representative). If an indemnifying party makes an indemnification payment to a Person hereunder with respect to any Damages then such indemnifying party will be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all related rights and remedies of such Person under any insurance policy or otherwise against or with respect to such Damages, except with respect to amounts not yet recovered by such Person (or any other such Person entitled to indemnification hereunder) under any such insurance policy or otherwise that already have been netted against such Damages for purposes of determining the indemnifiable amount of such Damages. Promptly following such indemnifying party’s request, such Person will take all reasonably necessary, proper or desirable actions (including the execution and delivery of any document reasonably requested) to accomplish the foregoing.

(b) Except for Section 5.6(h)(v) and Section 7.14, the remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of Law and injunctive and provisional relief (including specific performance), if the Closing occurs, indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article VI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties with respect to any matters arising under, resulting from or relating to this Agreement, any closing document executed and delivered pursuant to the provisions hereof and the Transactions, and the only legal action that may be asserted by any party with respect to any matter that is the subject of this Article VI shall be a contract action to enforce, or to recover damages for the breach of, this Article VI. In furtherance of the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, each party hereto hereby waives and (if necessary to give effect to this Section 6.7(b) will cause each indemnified Person, as applicable, to waive), all claims, causes of action and other remedies of such Person against any party hereto as a matter of contract, equity, tort, strict liability, under or based upon any applicable Law or otherwise (including for rescission), except to the extent expressly stated in this Article VI. Except as provided by this Article VI and in Sections 5.6(h)(v) and 7.14, no claim, action or remedy shall be brought or maintained after the Closing by Buyer against the Sellers, and no recourse shall be brought or granted against the Sellers, by virtue of or based upon any alleged

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

misstatement or omission respecting an inaccuracy in, or breach or nonperformance of, any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Companies or Sellers set forth in this Agreement. In addition, no claim shall be brought or maintained by Buyer or any other Buyer indemnified party or any of their respective successors or permitted assigns against any officer, member, manager, employee (present or former), partner or Affiliate of any party hereto which is not otherwise expressly identified as a party hereto, and no recourse shall be brought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach or nonperformance of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of any party hereto set forth or contained in this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule hereto or any certificate or other document delivered hereunder.

(c) The parties hereto agree that the sole and exclusive remedy of the Companies and the Sellers with respect to the failure of the Buyer to consummate the Transactions are as set forth in Section 2.1(b). Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the other rights and obligations of each party set forth in this Agreement, including Buyer’s rights to consummate the Transactions, are unique and that, if this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms or is otherwise breached, a non-breaching party may be damaged irreparably and have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, and except as set forth in Section 2.1(b), the parties hereto agree that any such non-breaching party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor at law or in equity, to enforce such non-breaching party’s rights and the breaching party’s obligations under the terms of this Agreement by bringing an action or actions for specific performance (including the right of Buyer for specific performance of any and all of the Transactions), injunctive and/or other equitable relief (without posting of bond or other security). If any party brings any action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other party prior to the Closing, the Termination Date shall automatically be extended by (i) the amount of time during which such action is pending, plus 20 business days or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such action.

(d) The indemnities herein are intended solely for the benefit of the Persons expressly identified in this Article VI (and their permitted successors and assigns) and are in no way intended to, nor shall they, constitute an agreement for the benefit of, or be enforceable by, any other Person.

(e) Notwithstanding any other term herein, no Person will have any right to indemnification from the Sellers hereunder (i) regarding any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein or any of the other Transaction Documents if Buyer had actual knowledge of such breach (or the facts and circumstances giving rise to such breach) on or prior to the date hereof, or (ii) for any Damages or alleged Damages by any Person to the extent such Damages or alleged Damages resulted from a breach for which Buyer could have terminated this Agreement.
