When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded. If the last day of such period is a non-Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day.

Dollars. Any reference in this Agreement to $ shall mean U.S. dollars.

Exhibits/Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement.

Headings. The provision of a Table of Contents, the division of this Agreement into Articles, Sections and other subdivisions and the insertion of headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect or be utilized in construing or interpreting this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to any “Section” are to the corresponding Section of this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

ARTICLE II

PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE PURCHASED STOCK, PURCHASE PRICE; CLOSING

2.1 Purchase and Sale of the Purchased Stock. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, on the Closing Date, Seller agrees to sell to Purchaser, free and clear of any and all Liens, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from Seller, the Purchased Stock.

2.2 Purchase Price. The aggregate consideration for the purchase and sale of the Purchased Stock shall be $15,550,000 (the “Purchase Price”) payable in cash at the Closing, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.4, minus the amount of the Company Transaction Expenses.

2.3 Payment of Purchase Price. On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price, as adjusted in accordance with Section 2.4(a)(ii), minus the amount of the Company Transaction Expenses to Seller, which shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account or accounts designated by Seller in writing not fewer than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall also pay off the Company Transaction Expenses (in each case on behalf of the Company) pursuant to payoff instructions provided to Purchaser in accordance with Section 6.14.

2.4 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Effective Date Purchase Price Adjustment.

(i) Not later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Purchaser with an estimated consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Effective Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”) and a statement of the estimated Closing Working Capital (as defined in Section 2.4(b)(i) below), derived from the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet (“Estimated Closing Working Capital”). The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and Estimated Closing Working Capital shall be prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation and accrual methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Company’s audited Financial Statements for the most recent fiscal year end as if such Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and Estimated Closing Working Capital were being prepared and audited as of a fiscal year end.

(ii) If Estimated Closing Working Capital is less than Target Working Capital, then the principal amount of the Purchase Price to be paid at Closing will be decreased by the positive difference between Estimated Closing Working Capital and Target Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital Shortfall”). If Estimated Closing Working Capital is greater than Target Working Capital, then the Purchase Price to be paid at Closing will be increased by the positive difference between Estimated Closing Working Capital and Target Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital Excess”). “Target Working Capital” shall be $3,727,000.

(b) Post-Closing Date Purchase Price Adjustment.

(i) Following the Closing, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 2.4(b) to reflect the difference between Closing Working Capital and the Estimated Closing Working Capital. “Closing Working Capital” means (A) the consolidated Included Current Assets of the Company, less (B) the consolidated Included Current Liabilities of the Company, determined as of the close of business on the Effective Date. “Included Current Assets” means and includes only $250,000 in cash plus all accounts receivable, inventory, deposits and prepaid expenses, but excluding deferred tax assets and receivables from any of the Company’s Affiliates, managers, employees or officers and any of their Affiliates, determined in accordance with GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Company’s audited Financial Statements for the most recent fiscal year end as if such accounts were being prepared and audited as of a fiscal year end. “Included Current Liabilities” means and includes only accounts payable, accrued Taxes and accrued expenses, but excludes payables to any of the Company’s Affiliates, managers, employees or officers and any of their Affiliates and the current portion of long term Indebtedness, determined in accordance with GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Company’s Financial Statements that were included in Seller’s audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year end as if such accounts were being prepared and audited as of a fiscal year end.

(ii) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller a consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Effective Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and a statement of Closing Working Capital derived from the Closing Balance Sheet (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”). The Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Company’s audited Financial Statements for the most recent fiscal year end as if such Closing Balance Sheet was as of a fiscal year end.

(iii) The Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Statement (and the computation of Closing Working Capital indicated thereon) delivered by Purchaser to Seller shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties unless Seller, within thirty (30) days after delivery to Seller of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Statement, notifies Purchaser in writing that Seller disputes any of the amounts set forth therein, specifying the nature of the dispute and the basis therefor. During such 30-day period, Purchaser shall provide Seller and its representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to review the books, records and other documents (including work papers) of the Company pertaining to or used in connection with the preparation of the Closing Working Capital Statement and Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Working Capital, and provide Seller with copies thereof upon written request by Seller. The parties shall in good faith attempt to resolve any dispute and, if the parties so resolve all disputes, the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Statement (and the computation of Closing Working Capital indicated thereon), as amended to the extent necessary to reflect the resolution of the dispute, shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. If the parties do not reach agreement in resolving the dispute within thirty (30) days after notice is given by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection (iii), the parties shall submit the dispute to a partner at a U.S. based office of PriceWaterhouseCoopers which is mutually agreeable to the parties (the “Arbiter”) for resolution. If the parties cannot agree on the selection of a partner at an independent accounting firm to act as Arbiter, the parties shall request the American Arbitration Association to choose between the partners selected by Purchaser and Seller, and such appointment shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. Promptly, but no later than 20 days after acceptance of his or her appointment as Arbiter, the Arbiter shall determine (it being understood that in making such determination, the Arbiter shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator), based solely on written submissions by Purchaser and Seller, and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute and shall render a written report as to the resolution of the dispute and the resulting computation of the Closing Working Capital which shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. All proceedings conducted by the Arbiter shall take place in Raleigh, North Carolina. In resolving any disputed item, the Arbiter (x) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.4 and (y) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such items claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such items claimed by either party. The fees, costs and expenses of the Arbiter shall be allocated to and borne by Purchaser and Seller based on the inverse of the percentage that the Arbiter’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Arbiter. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the Arbiter awards $600 in favor of Seller’s position, 60% of the costs of its review would be borne by Purchaser and 40% of the costs would be borne by Seller.

(iv) Upon final determination of Closing Working Capital as provided in Section 2.4(b)(iii) above, (A) if Closing Working Capital is greater than Estimated Closing Working Capital, Purchaser shall pay to Seller, in the manner and with interest as provided in Section 2.4(b)(v) below, the amount of such excess as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, and (B) if Closing Working Capital is less than Estimated Closing Working Capital, Seller shall pay to Purchaser, in the manner and with interest as provided in Section 2.4(b)(v) below, the amount of such excess as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(v) Any payment pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(iv) above shall be made at a mutually convenient time and place within ten (10) days after Closing Working Capital has been determined by wire transfer by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, of immediately available funds to the account of such other party as may be designated in writing by such other party. The amount of any payment to be made pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) shall bear interest from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest published by The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, from time to time as the “prime rate” at the large U.S. money center banks during the period from the Effective Date to the date of payment. Such interest shall be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates and shall be calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

2.5 Closing Date. The consummation of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Stock provided for in Section 2.1 hereof (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxx and Xxxxx, LLP, located at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000 (or at such other place as the parties may designate in writing) at 10:00 a.m. (Central time) on January 14, 2011 or such other date as mutually specified by the parties (the “Closing Date”), which date shall be no later than the third Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time), unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto; provided, that upon consummation of the Closing, the effective date of the Closing shall be January 1, 2011 (the “Effective Date”).

2.6 Deliveries Prior to the Closing Date. No later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser the certificates setting forth estimates of Indebtedness of the Company and Company Transaction Expenses, respectively, pursuant to Section 6.14.

2.7 Seller Deliveries on the Closing Date. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver or cause the Company to deliver, as applicable, to Purchaser:

6.7 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Confidentiality.

(a) For a period of five (5) years from and after the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, own, manage, engage in, operate, control, work for, consult with, render services for, do business with, maintain any interest in (proprietary, financial or otherwise) or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, any business (other than the Company and Purchaser), whether in corporate, proprietorship or partnership form or otherwise, engaged in flow measurement, field services, inspections and lab services, instrumentation sales, installation, calibration, inspection or maintenance services for the oil and gas industry as conducted by the Company as of the Closing Date or that otherwise competes with the business of the Company as conducted on the Closing Date (a “Restricted Business”); provided, that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.7(a) shall not restrict (i) the acquisition by Seller, directly or indirectly, of less than 2% of the outstanding capital stock of any publicly traded company engaged in a Restricted Business, or (ii) Seller’s ownership, operation, management and conduct the operations of its water processing and disposal business as owned, operated, managed and conducted as of the date hereof. The parties hereto specifically acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law for any breach of the foregoing will be inadequate and that Purchaser, in addition to any other relief available to it, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damage or posting any bond whatsoever.

(b) For a period of five (5) years from and after the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and shall cause its directors, officers, employees and Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly: (i) cause, solicit, induce or encourage any employees of Purchaser or the Company or any of their Affiliates to leave such employment or hire, employ or otherwise engage any such individual (provided that nothing herein shall be construed as restricting Seller from engaging in a general solicitation of employment not specifically directed at any employee of Purchaser or the Company to the extent any employee contacts Seller of his or her own initiative as a result of such general solicitation); or (ii) cause, induce or encourage any material actual or prospective client, customer, supplier, or licensor of Purchaser or the Company or any of their Affiliates (including any existing or former customer of the Company and any Person that becomes a client or customer of the Company after the Closing) or any other Person who has a material business relationship with Purchaser or the Company or any of their Affiliates, to terminate or modify any such actual or prospective relationship.

(c) From and after the Closing Date, Seller shall not and shall cause its directors, officers, employees and Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person other than authorized officers, directors and employees of Purchaser or the Company or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or for the benefit of anyone other than the Company, any Confidential Information; provided, however, that Seller shall have the right to disclose information relating to the Company as required under applicable federal and state securities laws and stock exchange requirements. In addition, Seller shall not have any obligation to keep confidential (or cause its officers, directors or Affiliates to keep confidential) any Confidential Information if and to the extent disclosure thereof is specifically required by other applicable Law; provided, that in the event disclosure is required by such other applicable Law, Seller shall, to the extent reasonably possible, provide Purchaser with prompt notice of such requirement prior to making any disclosure so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order.

(d) The covenants and undertakings contained in this Section 6.7 relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to Purchaser, the amount of which will be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Accordingly, the remedy at law for any breach of this Section 6.7 will be inadequate. Therefore, Purchaser will be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach of this Section 6.7 without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond whatsoever. The rights and remedies provided by this Section 6.7 are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies which Purchaser may have hereunder or at law or in equity.

(e) The parties hereto agree that, if any court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment determines that a specified time period, a specified geographical area, a specified business limitation or any other relevant feature of this Section 6.7 is unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then a lesser period of time, geographical area, business limitation or other relevant feature which is determined by such court to be reasonable, not arbitrary and not against public policy may be enforced against the applicable party.

6.8 Preservation of Records. Subject to any retention requirements relating to the preservation of Tax records, Seller and Purchaser agree that each of them shall (and shall cause the Company to) preserve and keep the records held by them or their Affiliates relating to the respective businesses of the Company for a period of seven (7) years from the Closing Date and shall make such records and personnel available to the other as may be reasonably required by such party in connection with, among other things, any insurance claims by, Legal Proceedings against or governmental investigations of Seller, the Company or Purchaser or any of their Affiliates or as otherwise reasonably requested by the other for financial, accounting or other corporate purposes or in order to enable Seller or Purchaser to comply with their respective obligations under this Agreement and each other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby. In the event Seller or Purchaser wishes to destroy (or permit to be destroyed) such records after that time, such party shall first give ninety (90) days prior written notice to the other and such other party shall have the right at its option and expense, upon prior written notice given to such party within that ninety (90) day period, to take possession of the records within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such notice. Purchaser shall provide Seller with reasonable access during normal business hours to its pre-Closing payroll and benefits records, and the Company’s accounting and payroll employees, for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, to assist with any reasonable transitional activities or information related to transferring payroll and benefits records and administration to the Seller.

8.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third party claim may be asserted by the giving of prompt notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought; provided, that failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not preclude the indemnified party from any indemnification which it may claim in accordance with this Article VIII except as otherwise provided herein.

(b) In the event that any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted or that any claim or demand shall be asserted by any third party in respect of which indemnification may be sought under Section 8.2 hereof (regardless of the limitations set forth in Section 8.4) (a “Third Party Claim”), the indemnified party shall promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any Third Party Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the indemnifying party. The failure of the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Third Party Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced in defending such claim as a result of such failure. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.3, the indemnifying party shall have the right, at its sole expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against by it hereunder; provided, that the indemnifying party shall have acknowledged in writing to the indemnified party its unqualified obligation to indemnify the indemnified party as provided hereunder. If the indemnifying party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against by it hereunder, it shall within five days of the indemnified party’s written notice of the assertion of such Third Party Claim (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) notify the indemnified party of its intent to do so; provided, that the indemnifying party must conduct its defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently thereafter in order to preserve its rights in this regard. If the indemnifying

party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against by it hereunder, fails to notify the indemnified party of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party for such Losses under this Agreement, the indemnified party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim. If the indemnified party defends any Third Party Claim, then the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for the expenses of defending such Third Party Claim upon submission of periodic bills. If the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the indemnified party may participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, that such indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party if (i) so requested by the indemnifying party to participate or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided, further, that the indemnifying party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel (plus any appropriate local counsel) for all indemnified parties in connection with any Third Party Claim. Each party hereto agrees to provide reasonable access to each other party to such documents and information as may be reasonably requested in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.3 to the contrary, neither the indemnifying party nor the indemnified party shall, without the prior written consent of the other party, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment unless (x) the claimant (or claimants) and such party provide to such other party an unqualified release from all Liability in respect of the Third Party Claim or (y) if such Third Party Claim is with respect to Taxes such settlement or compromise could not reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on Purchaser or the Company. If the indemnifying party makes any payment on any Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the indemnified party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the indemnified party with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(g) In calculating amounts payable to an indemnified party, the amount of the indemnified Losses shall not be duplicative of any other Loss for which an indemnification claim has been made. Any amounts payable pursuant to this Article VIII shall be net of any insurance proceeds received by the party in connection with such Loss.

(h) Each indemnified party shall take all commercially reasonable actions to mitigate all Losses relating to an indemnifiable claim hereunder. Any Losses that result from a failure of the indemnified party to provide such mitigation shall not be recoverable hereunder, provided that the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for any reasonable expenses of the indemnified party in undertaking the mitigation.

8.5 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Indemnification. Seller hereby agrees to be liable for and to indemnify and hold the Purchaser Indemnified Parties harmless from and against, and pay to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties the amount of, any and all Losses respect of (i) all Taxes of the Company (or any predecessor thereof) (A) for any taxable period ending on or before the Effective Date, and (B) attributable to the portion of any Straddle Period ending at the close of business on the Effective Date (determined as provided in Section 8.5(c)); (ii) any and all Taxes imposed on the Company (or any predecessor thereof) by reason of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any predecessor or successor thereof or any analogous or similar provision under state, local or foreign Law); (iii) the failure of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.10 to be true and correct in all respects (determined without regard to any qualification related to materiality contained therein) or the failure to perform any covenant contained in this Agreement with respect to Taxes; (iv) any failure by Seller to timely pay any and all Taxes required to be borne by Seller pursuant to Section 8.5(f).

Seller and Purchaser shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disagreements regarding such Tax Returns prior to the due date for filing. In the event that Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to such Tax Return at least ten (10) days prior to the due date for filing, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 8.5(h), which resolution shall be binding on the parties.

(iii) Not later than ten days prior to the due date for the payment of Taxes on any Tax Returns which Purchaser has the responsibility to cause to be filed pursuant to Section 8.5(b)(ii), Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of Taxes relating thereto, as reasonably determined by Purchaser, owed by Seller pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.5(a). No payment pursuant to this Section 8.5(b)(iii) shall excuse Seller from its indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 8.5(a) if the amount of Taxes (for which Seller is liable) as ultimately determined (on audit or otherwise) for the periods covered by such Tax Returns exceeds the amount of Seller’s payment under this Section 8.5(b)(iii).

(c) Straddle Period Tax Allocation. The Company will, unless prohibited by applicable Law, close the taxable period of the Company as of the close of business on the Effective Date. If applicable Law does not permit the Company to close its taxable year on the Effective Date or in any case in which a Tax is assessed with respect to a taxable period which includes the Effective Date (but does not begin or end on that day) (a “Straddle Period”), the Taxes, if any, attributable to a Straddle Period shall be allocated (i) to Seller for the period up to and including the close of business on the Effective Date, and (ii) to Purchaser for the period subsequent to the Effective Date.
